All my life, i lived with my mum. When i asked her about my dad, she told me he was late. Sure, i took her word.
After
my secondary school education, i decided to get my undergraduate degree
from the University of Salford, UK. I was a very serious student and
had no time for guys, until i met Segun. He represented his company for a
talk in my school. I remember vividly that i was on my way home when he
walked up to me and asked if we could have a drink. After that drink,
we saw several times after. He even helped me get an internship
opportunity.
2
months later, he asked me to be his girlfriend. The only problem i had
was the age difference because i was 24 years and he was 46 years,
despite that, i still dated him because he was amazing, had all the
quallities of the man of my dreams.
I
told my mum about him, especially when he started talking of settling
down and he also spoke to my mum once over the phone. The relationship
kept going well until i got pregnant, i aborted it because i wasn't
ready for a child then. Meanwhile, there was a complication during the
abortion that nearly rendered my womb useless. I got pregnant again, but
by then he had already engaged me. So we agreed to keep the baby. He
was indeed very happy about the pregnancy. My mum wasn't happy about it
because he was way too older and was also angry because i got pregnant
before marriage, but i told her my mind was made up to marry him.
We
planned a trip to Nigeria for our traditional marriage, by then i was
already 4 months pregnant. We arrived his brother house in lagos from Uk
and decided to visit my mum the following day.
The
day we met my mum was the biggest drama of my life. On getting to my
mum's house, she was standing at the gate waiting for me with all
smiles. Then i immediately jumped out of the car to hug her. While we
were still exchanging hugs and kisses, my fiance walked out of the car,
and my mum shouted "you this girl, you didn't tell me you re-united with
your dad and brought him here to beg me to accept your old man husband
abi". I thought that was a joke. My fiance was frozen in the shock of
sighting my mum. Then my mum said again, "i'm sure he has told you
everything about how he dumped me". That was when i knew i was doomed. I
wanted the ground to swallow me. Then i ran to him and told him to
explain, But he couldn't talk, he was still in great shock. At that time
i fainted.
A
'marriage introduction' turned 'parent introduction'. Even when i woke
up on the hospital bed, I still thought it was a dream, unfortunately it
was reality.
The
worst part of it all is that i got pregnant by chance the second time,
there was a complication during my first abortion that nearly damaged my
womb and the doctor warned that i can never have any abortion in my
life again except i don't wanna have children.
Now the question is, should i remove this abomination in my womb and remain childless for life OR should i carry the baby???
