I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and gasped

Sliently i prayed

O’God

I mustn’t lose dis baby

I grabbed d bag where i kept dele’s money and stood up but d great pain was there

I fell down again,

I was in a terrible pain,

Still i managed 2 reach d main road where i took a cab 2 my hotel

D people looked at me in a suspicious manner bt i ignored dem nd went to my suite.

Anoda sharp pain took me

I groaned nd picked up my phone with shaky hands nd i dialed ken’s number.

[ELIZA]

I had given up hopes,even d horse was tired,

To my shock,we saw dry land at our left side

D horse swarm there and it collasped gently on d sand

I quickly brought out hay 4rm d water-proof bag nd fed d horse

i even gave it milk

i also ate bread nd meat

I made a big fire 2 attract help

D horse nd i had grown 2 love eachoda

It lay beside me and i covered myself wit d thick blankets nd slept off

By the time i woke up,

I found myself in lagos on an hospital bed

Doctors said dat i was found cold nd almost dead by tourist by d sea..

.

As the doctor was explaining how i was found,my mind became alerted

I suddenly said

Horse..!

The doctor looked confused

Which Horse..?

I jumped down 4rm d bed nd removed d drip 4rm my arm ignoring d blood coming 4rm d spot

I held d doctor’s arm

Please…

Where are d people dat found me..?

D doctor looked at me lyk i was mad b4 saying

Ma’am

U really 2 rest

Those dat brought u came yesterday

They are coming 2 balance ur fees

U av been here 4 2 weeks

Bt ma’am,u need great rest with ur condition

I frowned

Which condition..?

The doctor smiled nd said

[KEN]

After d strange number called me up to 14 times

I decided 2 pick it,as i said hello

Tinu’s desperate voice said

Hello…

Ken…My stomach hurts,

i fell down and am bleeding.

I was already in d car taking direction where she gave me

With teary eye,i prayed

2 God dat he spares tinu nd our baby.

.

[TINU]

The pain had become so unbearable,

So as to prevent any problem,i hid d money well,

I stuffed a piece of cloth into my mouth to prevent any my screams to reach d next room

Some hours later,

Someone forcefully entered nd held me

Tinu..

Can u hear me..?

I was already feeling my world fading,

But in my dizzy world,i recognized ken’s voice but i couldn’t talk,

Ken carried me and that was when everything went blank.

.

.

.

[ELIZA]

A nurse told me that d men dat saw me requested to see

I was over happy to see them

Three tall men i didn’t recognise came in

After thanking them,i asked them abt d horse and d first man said

That horse is so amazing…

Since we brought u here,it has been restless

We even had to drug it to prevent it 4rm destroying more properties

With great relief,i rested back on d bed nd said

Can i see it today..?

They looked at me with great suprise then one said

But…U are just recovering!

I jumped down 4rm d bed nd said

I must see my horse right now,!

.

.

[ELIZA]

I told d men to take me to where they kept d horse nd one said

Ma’am….

U are just recovering

We heard dat u were pregnant

Please

Rest nd when u are beta

We will definately take you to d horse….

I screamed

Shut up..!

Shut up.!

If not for that horse,by now i won’t be alive

Take me to my horse

NOW..!

NOW..!

The men all frowned then one said

Just becus of a horse..

U are so hot lyk dis..?

I gave him my bad eye nd said

Mister

Mind ur buisness

All i want is my horse

After settling my bills nd getting me a loose gown nd sandal

We got out of my room,as we reached d entrance

I heard a familiar voice

ELIZABETH..!

Instantly,

I recognized d voice

It was KEN…!

.

.

[KEN]

Tinu was admitted immediately,i was so scared when i saw her bleeding

D doctors told me to wait in d lobby while they attend to tinu

I was walking about wen i spotted Tinu..!

No..!

I knew straightaway that i had founded Elizabeth

I screamed her name nd she stopped

MY GOD

IT WAS HER.!

.

[ELIZA]

I stopped nd turned back,

Lo nd behold,it was ken in all his handsomeness nd coolness,walking towards me

His eyes were filled with unshed

Tears

Eli…El..Eliza..?

He wrapped his arms round me nd hugged me tightly

Immediately,i realized how much i had missed ken

I wrapped my arms round him too nd broke down into tear

A..Am..Am..Sowi,

He used his thumb to clean my eyes nd said

I smiled

He asked

It was then i remembered my horse

I gasped

I said

As we entered d house

I heard d familiar powerful scream

Ken frooze in fear

I didn’t reply as i ran towards d voice,

I ran to d horse nd hugged it

It rubbed me wit it nose nd screamed again

Behind me ken said

Dis is a wow

.

I looked at ken nd said

Which suprise..?

He smiled mischeviously nd said

It took me 3 hours to calm d horse down,fed it and made it lay down then i left 4 d hospital

As we entered d room,i opened my mouth nd couldn’t close it again

On d bed,i saw ME..!

Or let me say i saw THE OTHER ME

She was awake nd she opened her mouth too

Definately,she was older than me,

Ken broke d silence by clearing his throat

She broke into smiles nd quietly said
