It was the worst day ever for Helen, it was a day she would never forget. She couldn't walk nor speak, she just sat, staring at the space weakly. She felt paralysed, she couldn't do anything, all she did was to cry, she cried her eyes out. It was indeed the worst day of my life, to lose two people she cared about. It was a sorrowful day.
"Madam please leave." A male voice brought her back from her wonderland, she just stared at him, too weak to reply, she ignored him and kept staring at the space, "Ma'am, we need you to leave, please. You have to leave, you are not allowed when the operation is going on." He explained but he didn't get any response than her cold teary eyes staring at her. She was soaked in tears. When the nurse saw that he was talking to a statue because she wasn't responding, he had to carry her outside the room, to the waiting room. She didn't object, she just hung on him like a lost child, her mind had wandered far."Ma'am, sorry about your loss. We wilHelen wiped the tears and stated at the babies in the cot, it was a boy and a girl. The boy had green eyes while there was nothing special about the girl but they were very beautiful and looked like Helen and her husband. Finally, she was happy wasn't going to marry out of pity. She would marry whom she loved and take care of the twins with the last drop of his blood. She hoped her future husband will love her and accept her and the twins. She carried the twins and played with them a little, they looked hungry, they wanted breast milk, they wanted to be breastfed with the first milk from their mother's breast, colostrum but they were bottle-fed . The nurse attended to the twins, she bottle-fed them each. Suddenly, there was strong wind everywhere in the ward, it surrounded Helen and the twins. Helen got scared, she knew it was her best friend and her husband's ghost that surrounded them. She froze for sometime, she wanted to run out of fear but her legs seemed to be glued to the flo
Helen's mom was shocked to the bones the way her daughter spoke to her nonchalantly, "So you are saying you are tired and I should not bother you right?""Mom, don't get me wrong. Am tired like I said and am not in the mood.""Wow." Her mother clapped, "So you have the guts to tell me I was using bedroom voice and I didn't shout to call your name, didn't you hear when I called or were you deaf? Do you need to see an ear doctor? I know what to do. Next time,maybe I will use loud speaker when I talk to you because you are just pissing me off right now and..." She was speechless, she just looked at Helen and shook her head, "I don't know why am arguing with you, am wasting my time." She hissed, "I don't have your time. Anyway, where is Helen and why has her husband not arrived yet? Didn't he know that his wife just put to bed? And he need to leave whatever stupid work in his office to attend to his wife? Can't he ask for permission from his boss and come here right away?"&n

"Oh my God. I can't believe this." She cried, "So you mean this beautiful twins are now orphans? Life isn't fair to them. Was that why your mood changed that you've been behaving strange all day?" She hugged her daughter, "Oh Helen, am sorry for your loss Helen. It won't be easy for you to get over her. Take heart dear, be strong. At least she wasn't totally forgotten, she left children behind, you will transfer the love you had for her to get children. Am so sorry."The rest of the day was sorrowful. When Helen had signed all the necessary documents for her to adopt the twins, she and her mother took the twins home to cater for them. The shock of losing her best friend, her only sister from another mother was much on her, the thought of losing her best friend changes her mood, she couldn't get over her, it took her years to recover from the shock. It was a very painful memory and it hurt her badly.Helen was deeply pained. She kept on wailing and throwing things that co
Helen's husband looked at her sternly, "And how sure are you that I can't win you in the case?""Look at this good-for-nothing man, you want to hire a good lawyer to defend the case and spend alot of money to take care of the kids but you can't use that same money to take care of your children, feed them, educate them and clothe them properly, how unreasonable you are. Let me burst your bubbles, you can't even win the case against me because you are basically useless. If a child stays with you, she will be useless, poor, a nuisance and everything bad for the rest of her life. The court will understand me because I want a bright future for my children and am ready to give what it takes to see my kids make it in life but you don't even care about them. Let me ask you something, when lady have you bought them clothes,? Or undies? Or sanitary pads? When lady did you pay their fees? Do you even care if they go to school at all? This week, you only bought snacks for them, don't t
Helen knew that one way or the other, she had to tell the children, they had the right to know, she knew she couldn't just give them to Mr Wellspring without explaining to them. She looked at the twins again, she couldn't believe she was going to give them up for adoption because she didn't have enough money to provide their needs. She felt terrible, she felt as if she has failed as a mother for not being able to provide her children's needs but she knew it was not her fault and she had tried her best, she hoped her children could bear the pain of separation and forgive her."Mom, you are not fine, what is the matter?" Her son said but Helen forced a smile and nodded that she was fine, " Mom, look am not a kid that you can deceive, don't tell me that you are fine when you are not fine, it's written all over your face. I saw the way you turned dad into a punching bag and pounced on him like an animal pounces on their prey, I will tell you, it's not fair at all." He spoke sof
They are looked at her perplexed, "Us?" He pointed at he and his sister, "I don't get it, does he know us? What does he want with us?""I know you will be surprised but the thing is..." She bit her lips, "He..he wants to adopt you guys." She broke the news slowly and watched their reactions."What! Mom? Did I just hear you clearly? Because you telling us this bullshit means you are ready to succumb. Just tell me it's not true." Ryan was fuming, his sister just stood watching everyone with moved reactions."Oh my God mom...after telling us you want to divorce dad now, you want give my siblings up for adoption. When will you ever be happy? Is it when you finally divide the whole family? Into pieces?" Her eldest daughter hissed. She distant herself from her mother, she was already irritated by her mom's statement."Will you all just let mom talk!" Her youngest daughter shouted amid the murmur, "Am sure mom has a reason. She loves us, she can't give us away so cheaply.
Ryan was pissed off, he kept pacing around the room with both hands on his waist, "I think everybody here is insane aside her." He pointed at Helen's eldest daughter, "Because I don't understand...you said the reason he needs children was because his kids will soon be killed...if he needs children badly, let him go elsewhere. Why is? Why? Why does he want us?" He shouted. Helen tried to touch him so he could calm down but he threw her hands away, "Don't fucking touch me mom. I know why you are doing this... because my mom is no more that is why you are doing this to us. Why don't you give out your own children to the man...if you really love us, then let us stay here with you and you hand over your children to Mr Wellspring...you keep..keep doing this because they are fatherless and motherless...we can be adopted anytime right? It's not your fault. My parents told you to keep us till we grow but you had an ulterior motive...""Stop it Ryan....stop blaming me. Try to underst
