CHAPTER 4

After mama Adeola had left that day, I started replaying all that Jolayemi had told me some days before my admission at the hospital and wondering could she be saying the truth.

Jolayemi said things about my husband trying to cover his tracks and though it was an insult on my personality I urged her to continue. She told me someone contacted her from Benue state and said they needed to talk and she gave the person a listening hear. When she realized its not something that can be said on phone she paid her transport fare to come meet her in Lagos where she resides. The person said she knew Chuks though not by that name, he had a different name then and he is dead. He died in an accident 3years back. The name he had was John Adewale, a yoruba name and that made him a yoruba. Jolayemi further told me that she told the person she will be contacted later and that was how she discharged her back to Benue. I got upset at some point, I was angry at her that she could go on gossiping with people behind my back, I felt like she betrayed me, we stopped talking but when I was on the hospital bed she called to apologize to me and I apologized too.
I didn't bother to tell Chuks about my mom's visit.


Months after my miscarriage, I wanted to get pregnant again and I vowed to guard the pregnancy with all my strength. I told my husband but he was against it, even during coitus, he preferred not pouring inside of me saying its for my safety. After much pleas, he agreed to my mothering his kids and at the 13th month of our marriage God blessed me with the fruit of the womb again, I tried to avoid many things especially stress and my loving husband didn't forsake me, he helped with my office works.

I took a nap one afternoon and I felt what I had felt during my first pregnancy, Chuks wasn't home so I didn't bother calling him, I called my mother and Dr. Komolafe, the pain wasn't severe yet. My mom got to my house in no time and saw blood dripping down from my thighs. "Maami it has happened again" was all I could mutter.

I was rushed to the hospital and this time My family doctor's hospital.

"she took abortion pills" I heard voices, they were like arguing but the voices were faint.

CHAPTER 5

Not that I was awake when I heard those words, I was Still very much unconscious. Sooner I drifted away in sleep and didn't hear anything more. I traveled into dreamland where I saw myself holding a pitcher filled with water, suddenly a man appeared from no where and snatched the pitcher from my hand, he emptied the water and laughed wickedly. I don't know who the man was neither did I knew where he came from. I saw a baby flew outside my body, far away to where I know not. I shouted and called upon the baby to come back. The man was about breaking the pitcher when I started shouting "my pitcher, my baby" then I woke up, my vision was blur but I new somebody ran out of the room and came in with a man in white.
"where am I? What am I doing here? Where is my husband?" these were my questions. My mom was in tears, she was holding my hand.

"calm down Ade, you were rushed here yesterday afternoon and you've been unconscious since then, we here are all grateful to God for giving you another chance to live" I could recognize Dr. Komolafe's voice but could not see his face.

"my daughter, your husband hasn't visited since you were admitted, I called his line several times but he wasn't responding, please just get well soon, I've informed your brothers about your condition, Jolayemi said she's on her way here. We all care for you and love you"

I could remember I heard them talking about abortion, but who is the murderer who committed abortion when there are lots of people in need of it. I decided to ask my mother

"Mama Ade, who was doctor Komolafe discussing an abortion issue with earlier" I could see the Shock in her face. "were you?"


"don't mind the girl jare Oko mi, she came here for abortion not knowing this hospital doesn't do such" I knew it whenever my mom was lying and it was obvious she lied to about what she just said.

"get well soon for me Ade, you can't just leave me alone in this cruel world" she started crying

"what is wrong with me, why am I here"

"you passed out my dear" wiping her tears with hankie. "you screamed from your sleep, what did you see in your dream" she asked me.

CHAPTER 6


A week after my being at the hospital Chuks still didn't visit, I tried reaching him on phone all was to no avail, I had called my security guard on phone to ask if my Husband was home and that when last did he come home, he told me He hasn't been home since that very day I was rushed to the hospital. I became so worried, "what could have happened to my beloved husband" I took the anger of he not visiting me off my mind.


Dr Komolafe came to my ward one morning. He couldn't hide what he saw to himself again so he questioned me.

"Deola why did you do it?" he had a puzzled look.

"do what?"I asked because I had no idea what he was talking about.

"what happened to your first pregnancy?"

I was becoming more petrified, "I miscarried it" I told him with tears in my eyes.

"have you noticed anything in your body since you regained your consciousness, a lot is happening to you, frankly speaking my conscience
Doesn't take me hiding this things from you."

"I'm carrying a child in my womb" she said to him massaging her stomach.

"Luisa why did you abort your baby?"

I felt like the earth should just swallow me, "abortion is the last thing I will ever do in my life" sooner it dawned on me that the abortion arguments the previous week was really about her.

"Dr you know I can't do it, I need to give birth to my children so abortion is never an option, even if I had gotten pregnant outside wedlock I would not have abort it not to talk of when I have an husband....

"a husband who hasn't cared to come
See you here" he interrupted me.

"when will I be fit to go home?" she asked

"you are still under observation for now"

"when the right time comes you will be able to understand what you're going through but for your information you lost your second pregnancy" he told me as he left my ward.

*****
I was back home 3 weeks after I had lost my second pregnancy though it was against my mother's wish, she wanted me to be around her. I still didn't meet chuks, I've stopped bothering about him but deep down I miss him.
He came back the next day with bandage on his head, on his harm, there were plasters on some part of his face too. I didn't even know what to do, I couldn't ask him questions because his face wasn't inviting. I resumed back to work immediately but I didn't meet something pleasant .

"could all the pointing fingers be right?"

My husband was giving me attitude. Ever since he came back from where ever he had gone to with the bruises he had on his face, he has chosen not to speak to me. So I decided to go ask him whatever he sees wrong that warrants his change in attitude towards me.

"honey you've been hostile towards me lately, if I've done anything to upset why can't you just tell me and I will apologize, we are one for goodness sake" I said holding unto his arms as I knelt before him.

He didn't even look at my side as he was whistling. I proceeded to telling him about my ordeal, how I lost my second pregnancy and was admitted to the hospital for 3weeks, how my mom and I called him without response that was when he showed a remorseful face and talked about how he got the bruises that got his arm and head bandaged, I felt sorry for him.

I noticed expenditures were higher than income in my company, I called on the manager to give me account of how things went in my absence but to my utmost surprise my husband was the one behind it according to my manager but I decided to let sleeping dogs lie.


I needed to know why Dr. Komolafe said I had an abortion, so I went to see him at his office. After so many pleasantries I decided to make him know the reason behind my visit to his office.

"I've been trying to process what you told me while I was on the hospital bed, but its been difficult for me to accept that I committed such a crime"

"actually Adeola, I knew it wasn't you, someone is behind all these and finding out who the person is the most important thing to do now"

I sighed "that means there is an enemy somewhere which I need to conquer" I bade him goodbye and went to my father's house, "I need to inform my mother" I thought.

CHAPTER 7

"Maami!!! Aaaaaah!! There's fire on the mountain o" this as I said after greeting her

"stop talking in parables and tell me what is happening" my mom anxiously told me.

I explained to her what the doctor told me and how the enemy of my life was out there moving freely around, "I don't even know the person"

"first pregnancy lost, second pregnancy lost in the same mysterious way then someone is behind it" my mother mumbled

"my dear, when last did you eat outside your home?" mother asked

The question was a little funny but I managed to answer "ever since I got married mom, I haven't eaten anything outside my home. I cook what I eat myself"

"mama I think I should get a private investigator, I'm confused about a lot of things.


*****

I was hooked down with many sleepless nights. Chuks became a strange man to me, like I never knew him before marriage. He couldn't account for the money that gone out of my company account. Getting a detective was indeed the best option.

I got a detective, I had wanted to tell chuks about it but I changed my mind and kept it secret from him, I gave no room for suspicion about me having followed. My mom was aware of my intentions and she supported all I did.

I gave Jolayemi a call and asked her about how authentic what she told me about Chuks was and that I needed the contact of the lady from Benue.


*****

The dream I had while on the hospital bed, the dream my mom told me about started having similar meaning to me, I've been fooled. I got a call from the detective asking me of the name of the hospital I was taken to when I had my first miscarriage, I could remember the name of the hospital vividly so I gave him the name and the address.

I was able to get in touch with the Benue lady, I needed to meet her, so I did and got the most interesting and heartbreaking story ever.

" According to what my friend told me, John Adewale said he is a nigerian that lives abroad. They both met at the bank and their friendship started, no dating before he proposed to her. She was head over heels in love with him although the guy was good looking. Sooner than expected they were ready to get married, it was against her parents wish but she didn't care, even me I never supported the union but I couldn't just break her heart"

"this is getting more interesting" I said to her as I gesture at her to continue.

"my friend had several miscarriages that only God knew the cause. She entrusted her wealth into his hands but unfortunately he showed his true colour. One day we heard he had an accident and nothing was remained of him. She had no idea the damages he had caused not until after his death. She later realized her pregnancies wasn't really miscarried they were aborted by an unknown human being"


I saw some similarities in what I was facing and what that person had faced.

"what prompted you to discuss it with my friend?" I curiously asked her


"I saw bought roasted corn on my way from work one afternoon, I suddenly became interested in the paper that was used in wrapping the corn then I saw your wedding picture and the caption on it, your chief bridesmaid was in the picture too. I recognized John so well. My curiosity led me to showing the newspaper page to a colleague of mine at work, Luckily for me Mrs Jolayemi was his Coursemate back in the university and I got her number from the man"

"so you felt I needed to know? That's thoughtful of you, how do I meet that of friend of yours please?" I said with a smile.

"she isn't aware of this new development, I chose not to tell her because it could worsen her condition because ever since the worst happened she hasn't remain the same"

I thanked her and request to lodge her in an hotel that is if she wouldn't mind, there was more to this issue

CHAPTER 8

I became more obedient, caring and loving, I never wanted him to suspect I'm suspecting him. I was at work one afternoon when detective called me to meet with him at the Hospital I gave him the address. I left immediately, I saw him outside the hospital, the doctor denied vehemently ever seeing your name so I decided we should see him together. I entered first because I had told the detective to wait and eavesdrop our discussion before he enters.

"Doctor, I hope you still remember my face"

"very well madam, your husband was here when you were admitted because of your miscarriage" he said


"good, I'm glad you still do, what happened back then to my pregnancy"

"madam, you already know the answer because I mentioned something about miscarriage earlier, you miscarried the pregnancy"

"Maybe not doctor" I signaled on detective to come in by a knock on the table

"what's going on here" he asked with a look of terror.

"I have been to your office countless times and you've decided not to give me a pleasant reply so I think I'll have to do it the hard way.

"thanks detective" I said "what did you tell my husband that very day that you asked to see him in your office?"

"I summoned him to my office to explain things to him."

"Things like what" the detective asked

"how you miscarried your baby, the cause, the cure and the prevention when you are pregnant again"

"for your information Mr. I confronted my husband and he said you gave him a substance to add to my food on the note of Caring for the pregnancy and that he didn't know it will affect my pregnancy" I didn't know what pushed me to saying that, I never really confronted him. I'm just thirsty to know the truth about my situation. The detective himself was surprised at my outburst. "and at this rate if you still don't want to tell the truth your license is at risk"

"Madam please, I will explain how it all happened" he said.

"good we are all ears"

" your husband visited me some months ago with a deal that I couldn't refuse, the money involved was much and it was at a time when I was facing a monetary crisis. So I accepted the offer. He requested for an abortion pill that works slowly or that take about 4-5hrs before taking effect, I gave it to him and he gave me a cheque of 5million. He never told me he wanted to use it on his own wife. Part of the deal was that you should be brought here when it starts to take effect in your body system so that we can complete the process and my reason for calling him to my office that day was that I told him I didn't know the victim was his wife. He told me it was none of my business so I kept shut. Months after he came for another pill which I gave to him because money was also involved but I expected to see you again being rushed in but I didn't"


"they were right after all" I said to myself trying not to cry.

"don't you dare tell him of the new development because your hospital might be closed down for good" detective threatened

"no sir, I won't because I can bear to see my hospital closed down, but please keep my secret"

"we shall meet again soon" I said to him and walked out, detective followed suit.
