Episode 10

JENNY

“My waist! Waist! its paining me!

I shouted as soon as we got to the hospital, the strange man rushed down immediately from the car and summoned the nurses,they came immediately and took me to the theater.

I thought why they brought me to the theater when I know that am not in labour,my pregnancy is just seven months.

Could it be that am in labour now? If that happens that means I will be giving birth to premature baby,No nah!

“Why did you brought me here? my pregnancy is just seven months so why am I here?

I asked to clarify my thoughts.

“Calm down madam! the doctor will soon come and check on you”

the nurse said.

The pain in my tummy was too much,my baby was moving and kicking me too much making the pain to be more painful for me to endure.

The nurse went out and came back within a short while with the doctor.

“YOU! I shouted shockingly.

“Yes is me”

he replied.

The person that got me into this pain is a Doctor”

I thought.

“Is my fault that you are in this pain but you don’t have worry about anything am I here to examine you”

He said with smiles written all over his face.

“I need to inject on you for the pain to calm down”

I said.

“Why injection? Can’t you give me tablet instead?

I asked looking so secard.

I hate injection right from when am small,I prefer to take tablet than injection.

“No madam! the injection is more effective and very fast in working and beside we don’t have the tablet that the moment”

he explained.

“Oh no! am so secard of injection”

I shouted forgotten the pain I was into.

“Madam you don’t have to be secard the injection is not painful and I will be injecting you in your arm”

he said.

The nurse came to inject me and I shouted.

“You know what Madam,just look at me and you will not know when you are injected”

he said.

“Are you sure?

I asked so secard of the injection.

“Am very much sure Madam,just look at me”

He replied giving me his assurance.

I starred into his cat brown eyes,he look so handsome,his pointed nose suited his handsome face.I was starring at him while he was smiling at me.

“Are you done already?

I asked the nurse.

“Yes Madam!

“Like seriously! I did not feel the pain of the injection at all and the pain I was feeling has vanish,Doc what type of magic did you use on me?

I asked smiling.

“I know how to treat my patient very especially those who are secard of injection”

he replied with smiles.

“I need to examine the baby”

he said.

He checked the heartbeat,the scan and the auto sound of the baby was so good,he touched my tummy to be comfrimed if am still experience any pain.

He examined me so good.

“Madam,the position of the baby is good but I will like to meet you in my office”

He said after the examination.

“Okay Doc!

I replied and he walked out.

I changed back to my cloth,i was wearing the ante-natal gown.

The nurse directed me to the Doc’s office.

“Madam you may have a sit”

He said.

“Thank you Doc!

I said and sat down.

“Madam I will first of all apologize to you for my mistake towards you,am deeply sorry for putting you that condition”

He apologized.

“Doc is okay!

I replied with smiles.

“So madam I hope you have been going for your ante-antal?

He asked.

“Yes doc!

“Have you run some tests and taken malaria drug that is mainly for a pregnant lady for the help of the baby?

He asked.

“Yes Doc,I have done some tests altogether with the malaria drug”

I replied with smiles.

“I hope you are taking the injection for TT (TETANUS TOXOID)?

“Yes Doc the doses is not yet complete”

I said.

“Thats perfect all well and one more thing Madam you don’t have to be driving a car concerning your condition incase of any emergency”

he said.

“I will not try that again”

I replied.

“So you have to call your husband to come pick you up”

he said.

“I got no husband Doc”

“Pardon! you mean?

he asked confusedly.

“Doc my husband is late so I don’t have anyone,it just only me and my unborn baby”

“What a pity? am so so sorry madam,why did Mr death took your husband so early leaving you all alone”

He sounded so pity.

“Is okay Doc,God knows why it happened that way”

“You don’t have to be alone Madam considering your condition,what of your relative?

He asked.

Why is this man asking me so much questions,is him interrogating me or what? Well let me keep on answering him and see where is questions will landed into.

“Doc I got no relative,no one to turn to just all me”

I said.

“So bad! You can’t continue staying alone in case of emergency so I suggest that you should stay in my house until you give birth you can go back”

He said.

“Doc I appreciate all your kindness and care torwards me but I can’t go to your house”

He said being so mean and serious for me to stay in his place.

“But Doc why are you being so adamant for me to stay in your house? If I may ask what of your family,will your wife accept the decision of me staying in your house?

I asked.

He laughed and laughed.

Why is he laughing? I asked a serious question and he is laughing,what is funny about what I asked?

“Doc please answer me,i don’t want any woman to accused me of having affair with her husband saying nasty things about me”

I sounded being so serious.

“As you can see any not married”

He said showing me his fingers for me to know that there’s no ring there.

“Doc you know most married man doesn’t like to wear their ring reasons best known to them so how am I suppose to know that you are telling me the truth”

I asked.

He laughed and said,”My dear I know married dose not written on the face for you to believe me,as I said before am not married in case you still have double mind you can clarify your doubt by following me to my house and see things for yourself after then you will accept my proposal for staying in,did you accept?

He asked with similes written all over his face.

“I have accept”

“Okay,I guess we have to start going now”

He said and make a phone call to one of the nurses and directed her on what to do.

“So Madam can will go?

“For sure,please Doc you can address by my name Jenny that madam sounds awful by me it usually meant by old people and am not old”
