Toni:

After contemplating for an hour on if i should meet with kacy's wife,

i decide to go. I board a taxi which takes me to the secluded eatery

is told me to meet her. I am about an hour late but i hope she's still

inside. The taxi drop me off in front of the eatery and i am about to

go in when a state of nausea hits me. I hurry to the nearest corner

and puke my guts out. I thought these vomiting was because i have the

flu but its been two weeks and it hasn't stop. Infact, it has gotten

worse. I was supposed to get my period last week but its still in

nowhere land. The possibility of me being pregnant is becoming more of

a reality. I need to buy some pregnancy tests, just to put my mind at

ease. Ok, note to self; buy some pregnancy test kits on your way back

home. I wipe my sweaty brow and my mouth then turn around when i hear

a car. I see a pregnant woman being carried into the car. The pregnant

woman seem to be sleeping. Isn't that the woman with kacy at the

eatery the other day?. I start walking towards them to know what's up

but then another wave of nausea hits me and i rush back to the corner

to vomit. I see the car drive away in my peripheral vision. After

wiping my mouth again, i decide to check inside the eatery to make

sure kacy's wife is really gone. The eatery is completely empty when i

walk in, except for a waiter. I wonder why she was carried out of

here. Well i don't want anything to do with kacy anymore. Our wedding

is supposed to be two weeks from now but i still haven't told my

parents that he is a married man. I just don't know where to start. I

turn to leave the eatery and i Clash with the waiter. My bag falls off

my shoulder and all its contents scatter everywhere. The waiter

doesn't even apologize. He just walks away. Jerk! I mutter under my

breathe. I bend down and pack everything from the floor without

looking at what i am packing. My attention is just on the jerk of a

waiter who just stare at me. This place is starting to give me the

chills so i pick up my bag and hurry out. I don't find a taxi around

here so i walk for a little distance before i start seeing cars. I

wonder why kacy's wife suggested that we meet here. I haven't even

heard of this eatery before now. If not for her good description, i

probably wouldnt have been able to find it. I quickly board a taxi. On

my way home, i stop at a chemist and purchase six different brands of

pregnancy tests just to make sure there's no mistake. As soon as i get

home, i lock my self in the toilet, then pee on the sticks. During

minute i wait, i pray silently that it should be negative. I cannot be

a single mother. I don't even have a job right now and my parent's

name would be dragged to the mud. Nothing good can come out of my

being pregnant. Oh lord pls, don't let me be pregnant. I have gone

through alot this month, i don't want more tribulation. Its been more

than a minute but i cant bring myself to check. Ok be brave toni, you

are probably not pregnant. I steel myself and check the tests. All six

of them indicate that i am pregnant. Oh no! I sit on the floor and

sob.

After about an hour of crying on the toilet floor, i walk numbly to

my room. I have to think of a way to resolve this. Having an abortion

is not an option. The only option is to marry the father. I just hope

that ridiculous deal of his still stands. During our one year of a

sham marriage, i will make sure he falls in love with me and our baby.

I won't let him know about my pregnancy yet. He probably won't believe

me. I'll tell him after we get married and when i am sure that he

wants us.

Read " Stolen innocence " by the same author ( Ameh juliet )

. Yes, that what I'll do. I place my hand on my still flat

tummy.

"don't worry sweedy, mommy would make sure your daddy accepts you"

i search my bag for my phone then take it out.  My boss' number is

probably in the hotel card. I search in my bag for the card and i find

it,I also touch something like a phone and when i bring it out, its

not mine. Its broken. I must have picked it up from the eatery's

floor. The phone doesn't even turn on. The owner must have thrown it

away. I take the phone to the kitchen to dispose of it but my brother

takes it from me. He probably wants to use it for his many

experiments. My brother is kindof crazy about stuffs like this. As

soon as my brother leave the kitchen, i dial Steven's number.

"hello" his deep voice says

"will you marry me?" i ask and the line goes silent
