Two weeks after, she wasn't feeling herself again, it was getting bad to worse, especially with the cravings. She told her brother about it, actually everything from the beginning of missing her period.
Yes her periods were irregular but it wasn't a usual thing, this time they were making love frequently almost daily, well that's if they were.
“ My best brother and friend in the world… I would to tell you something that I think I should have told you long time ago”.
That was a text from Candice talking to her big brother who understood her more than anyone and any creature in the universe. Their relationship was so tight, it was so strong, one who didn't know about them would say they were an item.
Her phone was always on her Hands, always expecting messages from Wisdom. She decided to take some time alone after her family had left, think and meditate up to the ends of her memory about the dilemma she was into. Drama was playing on TV when she was searching what she was going to watch. She paused onto that channel as soon as she heard that the protogonist was pregnant and was planning to have a termination. Candice knew that was a very illegal act, she just closed her ears and didn't want to hear about it, because if she had continued listening to it then she was going to be tempted of thinking about it or even doing it.But finally she decided to watch it, tears flew down, her heart throbbed, ached, it was a very sad drama. She imagined what would happen
Candice wasn't in a good relationship with the baby on her first trimester, but after sometime, they had a very strong bond, she would hustle for her cravings and in prosperity with that, she would congratulate herself and she always felt like a great mother, who goes beyond limits for the happiness of her baby. She felt like she was carrying a baby boy, judging from the amount of food she consumed. She knew she was going to give birth to an adonis, I mean Wisdom was good looking and she was beautiful.Whilst Candice was developing the bondage between herself and the baby, Wisdom on the other hand was pushing for riddance of the baby, she entertained it, while knowing very well that it was something she wouldn't do. Reason being she thought he was going to change his
Candice understood his point very well because the only thing she ever wanted was to be able to give her child the best life, to give him anything he would ever want, her brother had made her believe that God was going to be there for her and the baby, and she believed that too. “Wisdom, I get you okay, I do but God will provide, He has given us this baby for a reason, it wasn’t a mistake, yes it wasn’t planned but we can do this right? Think of how beautiful the baby will be, just think of that hey, please. We can do this, we can make him happy, let’s put people’s feelings aside, let’s not think of what they will say, this is our lives and what happens isn’t anybody’s business right? I mean that’s what you always said to me, just take a breathe and think about it”. He tur
The journey she had started wasn’t easy, it wasn’t going to be and it was never be, she just tried to make it easy by trusting her God otherwise it was the hardest thing she had ever went through. Wisdom was furious with her because of her stubbornness, but they apparently met in a mall in our of Candice’s good days, unexpectedly, out of the blue they found one another in each other’s toes. Well, both of them were facing down busy with their big smart phones. They smiled on each other, actually the both did, it’s not like Candice started with the smiling thing no! it just automatically happened, one would tell that they had known each other for a very long time. A tension followed after the smile, no one knew what to say, what to do or how to
"Come here, I would like us to have a quick important talk”. That made her heart beat even faster.... “Are you pregnant”? That went bad for her, she was tongue tied, puzzled beyond expression. “NO! NO, MA! How can you even think that of me, your daughter, so you assume I sleep around with guys”? There was silence, she didn’t talk much but she just pulled up her lose shirt and that’s where the secret was. It wasn’t even under visibility, it was just easy to sight. It was just easy to see, she was tongue tied but she didn’t keep it for long. &nbs
It wasn’t the makeup that made her pretty, her skin was just natural itself, with no foundation or face makeup powder. One wouldn’t say she had a life luggage from the way she dressed, walked, but from everything she never stopped thinking about the problems she had left home, it was always eating her up, it’s just that she never showed it to the world. At work, she was normal and perfect. A part of her wanted to go back home and apologize but then she felt like she must wait a bit until she was strong enough to face them and stick up with the decision that she had made. She always went through with the day without any problem, until she got a call from a guy she didn’t know who insisted to see her the day after in the morning before she went to work.
“Wow Miss Candice, wow,’ he said that whilst clapping his hands and all eyes in the coffee shop were on them. "I have never had such expression in my life, you are so intelligent and…my goodness I cant say what I would like to say but all I know is that you are a one in a million Candice! My goodness! Well....I had been sent by my editorial team to conduct an interview with you by asking various question but you know what, let them go to hell with that, because this was our interview and guess what? Its done! You got the job”! “ What! Oh my God"! She screamed like nobody’s business, knelt down and thanked God in heaven, she just said ...
Just as she was typing her columns in the house, she felt cramps around her stomach, it was so painful in a way that nobody could understand. She knelt down on the tiled floor, squeezing it, trying to ease the pain but it got worser. She didn't know who to call, or text, tried to reach for her phone which was on top of the coffee table until she succeeded. Worse thing is it had a password and it took longer to unlock it since she was shaking. She pulled up the phone to her ears and called her friends but their phones weren't picked up, and again she wanted to call Wisdom but later decided No! She can't. She scrolled the contacts in her phone thrice then she remembered that she had someone's number,
