**************************

I came back home to find the house in an eerie silence. I called out to cynthia but she didnt answer me. Not a first though.

I went into the kitchen with the intention of cooking jellof rice but changed my mind when i saw that last night's stew was still remaining so I decided to cook white spaghetti.

I put the pot on fire and went upstairs to the bathroom to take my bath.

After freshening up, i went to Eve's room to pack up clothes for her, just as I picked up the first cloth, i heard a loud scream coming from Cynthia's room.

I flung the cloth and ran to Cynthia's room.

She was quite a sight as she lay on the ground, rolling and clutching her stomach.

Could Cynthia be having pregnancy cramps this early? I asked.

"alma h--hospital pl-please." she stuttered in a low voice with tears in her eyes.

Noo... This cant be pregnancy cramps, moreover, Cynthia would never say please to me undee normal circumstances.

I ran downstairs with tears in my eyes, put off the gas and ran outside to get help.

I saw a car coming towards me, I furiously waved it down, it stopped right infront of me, he got down and came down the car.

It was Nnamdi, Ugonna's senior brother. He said he just got a call from the same stranger that called me.

We both ran into the house, and upstairs to Cynthia's room.

Cynthia was bleeding and was trying hard to breathe when Nnamdi carried her downstairs and into the car.

I couldnt pack the clothes again, so we locked up the house quickly and sped off.

We drove madly to the hospital, when we got there, I ran into the hospital, towards the nurses at the counter, screaming for a stretcher.

On of them went to get the stretcher while the other came out with us.

They wheeled her towards the ER because the bleeding had increased. When we got to the ER, the nurses turned us back and showed Us to the waiting room.

I had to stay in the waiting room because I couldnt go to Eve's room with this kind of bad news.

**************************

While in the waiting room, Nnamdi decided to go up to Cynthia's room to see his brother.

Some hours later the doctor came out and asked to see me in her office.

It was a different doctor and a different office also. It was almost the same with the other doctor's own with little or no difference.

I sat down and wondered what news I was in for this time around.

She smiled sadly and started, " what's your relationship with the patient??" she asked.

I sighed, " she's my sister." i answered.

"okay, uhmmm, am sure you're aware she was pregnant when you brought her in?" she asked.

"yeah i know... Please, I dont mean to be rude but I'd really appreciate it if you'd go straight to the point, my other sister is up in the ward." i said.

"am sorry about your sister." she paused as I nodded.

She took it as a sign to continue, and continue she did. "you see, your sister was still in her first trimester, almost a month to be precise.. She had a self induced abortion by taking "the abortion pill - mizoprostol."

she swallowed and continued, "you see, the pill works differently for different people, sometimes it aborts the baby after a day or two, other times, it takes effect after a week, two weeks." she stared at me and continued.

" so my guess is, she took the pill and it had no effect so she took the pill again resulting to an overdose. Main symptoms of an overdose are bleeding and nausea, which i know she has been having."

now I knew where she was going, Cynthia had an abortion...

"she has been having these bleedings for some days now without seeing a doctor. She lost alot of blood and when you brought her in, we tried to do a blood transfusion but it was already late."

i kept staring at her, not hearing one word. " she gave up the ghost before anything could be done, am sorry we lost her.
we found this note in her jean pocket, it's addressed to you, you should read it." she concluded.

The tears stung as I tried to be courageous. I took the note from her and opened it, it read:

TO YOU ALMA, I HAVENT BEEN THE BEST SISTER TO YOU, AM SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME, AND TELL MUMMY AND EVE THAT AM SORRY.

That was the last straw, i couldnt keep in the tears anymore, i wailed and kept hitting the table. It dawned on me that my sister was dead... God has turned his back on me again.

Even if she was the worst sister, the realisation that you'll see her no more will make you cry. Your cries will be more than that of her sister gangan. I mean Eve.
I've been away for a while now, and its good to be back.
Because we are made of black, we'll be at the top forever. Good job A.

**************************

I tried to stop crying but I just couldnt. Hating her was easy but she apologised before dying and I couldnt stop blaming myself for hating her.

I didnt know how to break the news to my mum so I decided to tell Nnamdi on the phone. He picked up at the first ring.

"hey watsup, are you still upstairs with your bro?" i asked him.

"yeah, he's awake now."

"wow, Thank God." i answered.

"uhmmm, wont you talk to him, he wants to talk to you."

it took all the self-control i owned in the world not to break down over the phone.

"ok, give him the phone pls." i said in a shaky voice.

I heard Ugonna try to sit up, i swallowed. "hey boo of life."

I just smiled as a tear ran down my cheek. "how are you doing love?" i asked in a shaky voice again.

"am okay but I dont like how you're sounding, is there a problem?" he asked.

It took another ounce of self-control not to cry again. "i'm fine, I was just worried about you."

"ok love am good, I just wanted to talk to you okay, take care of yourself." he said and handed the phone to Nnamdi.

"hey, where you at?" Nnamdi asked.

" im in the waiting room, can you come down for a minute, I cant do this alone please." i said as the tears kept coming down my cheeks.

"al, is there a problem?" he asked again.

I couldnt keep it in anymore, "my sister is dead!!" i screamed.
