HE CALLED ME A CHEAT
Episode 8
Upon the completion of my ante-natal, the nurse who do attend to me gave me my card and instructed me to take it to the office of the midwife and have my card signed showing the completion of my ante-natal and the readiness to go into the labour room any moment from now.
With joy in my heart, I walked to the office of the midwife to have my card signed. Getting to the doorpost, I knocked and was given permission to enter.
‘Good afternoon ma, I was directed here to have my card signed as I have completed my ante-natal session’ I informed the midwife but instead of replying me, she was lost in staring at me
‘Hello ma’ I called out to her
‘Yes, what do you want?’ She asked angrily
‘I came to have my card signed ma, I have completed my ante-natal session’ I repeated to her hearing
‘Get out of my office and never come back’ she barked at me
I ran out of the office in fear wondering why she had to scre-m at me. I explained what happened to the nurse and she collected the card from me claiming she would ensure it get signed. She apologize to me on behalf of the midwife claiming that she might be in a bad mood.
After the encounter with the midwife, I keep asking myself if she knew me from somewhere as her behavior that day was uncalled for.
My day of delivery was drawing near and I kept buying the *necessary things for my baby. God helped me, Jeddy didn’t fall sick throughout that month so I was able to buy more* things for the baby.
While cooking one evening, I *started having signs that the baby was coming. I *managed to finish up with cooking, I dress Jeddy up and together we both went to the clinic* . Immediately I got to the Clinic, my water broke.
*
The nurses **on duty collected Jeddy from me and took *me to the labour room. The nurse in charge of me informed the midwife that there was a woman* in labour who needed to be delivered of a child.
*
The midwife* ran to the labour room but when she saw that I was the woman who *needed to be delivered of a child, she refused to attend to me. I cried and pleaded with her to attend to me but she refused and went away. The* nurse took pity on me and decided to help out.
She gave me *Instructions and in no time, I was delivered of a beautiful baby girl. She was cleaned up and placed on my bare *chest, the moment I set my eyes on her, I loved *her with every fibre in me. Seeing her on my* chest brought tears to my eyes, she was the reason why I was thrown* out of my matrimonial home.
*
She was the reason why I had to toil *day and night, she was the reason why I laboured so *much but I love her* so much. For a moment, I forgot all the pains I went through. I requested that Jeddy be brought to me and when he came, he was so happy to* see that his baby sister had been born.
After spending a day at the hospital, we were discharged. My neighbors were surprised to see me with a new baby as I didn’t tell anyone that I *was going to the hospital. They congratulated me and assisted me with one thing or the* other.
I named my baby Joy as she brought so much Joy to my soul. I suddenly had a longing to see Jerry, I just wanted him to see his little sister but situations on ground won’t let that happen.
Life continued and my baby was growing, she keep resembling Jeremiah every day. Jeddy was still falling sick but the rate at which he fall sick reduce. Coolval stories I keep toiling just for my children to have their daily need, I no longer cry as my children were a source of joy to me.
When Joy became five month old, I came home and the landlady informed me that a woman came looking for me and dropped an envelope when she met my absence. I appreciated her and collected the envelope from her.
Getting to the room, I tore the envelope open and was surprised to see a clip, a letter and a receipt of payment. I took the letter and read through.
Dear Mrs Jane,
I am sorry *the pain I caused you but I want you to know that it isn’t my fault. I didnt want to succ-mb to such wickedness but your mother threatened to kill the child* if I didn’t.
*Remember, you had twins at *Corolla Hospital and I was the midwife in charge of your delivery. Your boys were adorable and identical that virtually all *the nurses fell* in love with them.
Your mother* approached me and asked me to exchange one of the *boys with a sickly child. At first, I refused it but she offered me the sum of one million naira* *to carry out the task, she further threatened to strangle one of the* twins to death if i fail to carry out her order so I had no option but to carry *out her order.*
Over the years, I lived with the guilt of such wickedness. I sent you out of my office that day because I saw the past coming back.
Your *other twin is with Mr. And Mrs* . Da Silva, a popular family in this town. I know I have caused you much pain but please find a plance in your heart to forgive me. In this envelope is an audio clip where our conversation was recorded.*
From Midwife Lara.
