Two weeks after Bobby's party, I woke up to a fatigue,my head ached. I struggled to take my bath after which I dressed up for lectures. I wasn't able to focus in class. Sandra figured out I wasn't well and suggested I visit the hospital. I shrugged and told her I was okay and just needed rest. As I got to the hostel, I became weak and unable to move freely as I wanted.
This time around, Sandy picked up my phone and her side bag and helped me out of the room without my approval. She picked a cab and accompanied me to the hospital. After some questioning about how I was feeling, the doctor run sample of tests and gave me the shocking news of my life. At the age of twenty-one, unmarried and a student,I was already pregnant. Tears welled up in my eyes and Sandra tried her best to console me. I was uncontrollable. The tears flew freely till it could flow no more.We went back to the hostel devastated.
How could I gather courage to inform my Stepdad about this. I was lost in thoughts. Sandra called Bobby but he hunged up immediately the news got to him. I pulled myself up and asked Sandra to escort me to his house. I knocked faintly on the door. Before I could open my mouth to say anything to him, he told me to leave, and that he wasn't ready to be a dad and suggested I got rid of the baby. He slammed the door behind him leaving me standing hopeless.
I threw myself to the floor. Memories of our first meeting came running through my mind. He sweet-talked me promising to get married to me. He made me feel as if the world revolved around me. I was doomed.
We had an exam coming up and I had pregnancy to deal with. I cried till I could no more. I would I face dad during the vacation. Slowly but surely, we managed to get to the hostel. As I laid on the bed,the thought of getting an abortion flashed through my mind but I dismissed it immediately. I lost appetite. Later that night, Sandra persuaded me and I ate something small. I cried myself to sleep.
The next day, I asked Sandra about her opinion on getting an abortion but she discouraged me about it. She gave me words of encouragement. I refused to go for lectures that day. People kept calling me but I didn't answer any of the calls. Sandra came back earlier than usual to meet me in the same state she left me in the morning. She went inside and few minutes later, came out with food....
