Loretta drove her car at a high speed. The frustration she felt was enormous &she had
no one but herself
to blame.
All efforts at reaching Richard had been fuitile & she was
growing desperate.
She had called once but
immediately he knew that she was d one, he had hung up & since then, his number had been unreachable.
She needed his forgiveness. She needed someone to love her. She isn’t used to being unloved.
She had loved James Branson but when he became poor & wretched, she had to throw away
what she felt for him &
find greener pastures –
something she regrets now beyond words.
She knew she still felt d same way about him & that d feeling is mutual & reciprocated but she knew that James
would not leave his wife who stood by him through thick & thin for her.
She knew that & therefore was not after him but after her
son. She does not espect James to ever forgive her. But Richard? My son hates me,
she thought painfully. It tore at her heart & tears clouded her sight.
She was heading towards BRP Hospitalto talk to Richard’s wife. She had found out
that there was almost nothing she asked for which she wasn’t given.
She is d key to Richard’s
heart. ‘she might be able to beg Richard on my behalf’ she thought She turned right into
macdonalds driveway on top speed, not
seeing d pedestrian crossing d road.
“Jesus…” she screamed,
rather too late for d car to stop
miraculously through divine intervention.
She ran into d pedestrian, knocking him down
instantly.

The door opened & in came Richard and Prisca. I hadn’t been
able to compose myself ever since Oyin left.
My heart was shattered & seeing Prisca after about a month did not even bring a smile to
my face.
“Leave”, I said bluntly &
audibly even before they made it to my side.
They both paused by my bed. The fact that I had been crying was not lost on them.
“u don’t want me here? What’s wrong?”
Prisca asked bewildered.
I raised my eyes to glare at Richard.
“Please tell him to leave Pric” I said with tears forming in my eyes.
Prisca was even more shocked than before as she looked at me
as if I had suddenly grown horns. I saw it in the way she looked from me to Richard,not
understanding what
was going on. She had
never seen us have a
disagreement before; no one had.
Richard just stared at me blankly, not po Loretta drove her car at a high speed. The

I raised my eyes to glare at Richard.

forming in my eyes.
Prisca was even more
shocked than before as she looked at me
as if I had suddenly grown horns. I saw it in
the way she looked from me to Richard,not
understanding what
was going on. She had
never seen us have a
disagreement before; no one had. Richard
just stared at me blankly, not portraying any
emotions but he seemed angry. Why
should he be? I wondered. I am d only one
permitted to feel anger.
He left d room without
uttering a word to me. The tears I held at
bay tumbled down as I held on to Prisca. I
secretly wondered why my
emotion was all over d
place. I used to have control over my
emotions, not crying or showing any signs
of weakness but
recently, little things move me to tears. The
confusion was evident on Prisca’s face as
she held me in her arms
but she kept quiet, allowing d tears to flow
ceaselessly.
u were wrong to do
that girl” she began after I had gathered
some form of
composure.
“Whatever d matter might be,u
shouldn’t have done that,especiallywith
someone around” she said.
I kept quiet knowing that there was an
element of truth in what she said even
though I was not looking for rebukes but
approval;trust Prisca to give u the undiluted
truth always. I struck Richard’s male ego
with my actions; that I saw very evidently
written on his face.
“Are u going to tell me
what the matter is?” Prisca asked.
I opened my mouth to
speak but was interrupted by an intruder.
Doctor Felix
entered d room with a
smile on his face. Despite my inner turmoil,
I found his smile contagious. I
smiled for the first time that evening even
though it did not reach my eyes.
“It is good u are awake
ma’am, how are u
feeling?” he asked with that funny smile still
playing on his face.
“I am fine, thank u
doctor” I lied and I could
imagine Prisca rolling her
eyes. I maintained my smile though, not
letting out any pain.
“You need to rest, especially now. You
would have to rest a lot, eat lots of fruits
& avoid stress. You would also come for
Antenatal classes regularly, so that u can
be monitored.
Congrats ma” I would have pursued d ‘ma’
issue but I was already too confused &
dumbfounded to do
that. Prisca also seemed dumbstruck as
she stared at Doctor Felix with open mouth.
“What are u saying?” I
managed
“Oh… I see ur husband
hasn’t told u. You are
pregnant; one month, 2weeks gone”
My breath caught as I
gasped at d revelation. rtraying any
emotions but he seemed angry. Why
should he be? I wondered. I am d only one
permitted to feel anger.
