The next day
came, I prayed to the God my mother serves that morning in tears because I did
not have the nerve to refer to him as my God at that moment knowing what I’m up
to. I also prayed for my mother. I called her full name in my prayer.
Abigail Abodedbunmi
Isaac, o ni foju sukun omo, Ina omo oni jo e loruko Jesu
Meaning:(Abigail Abodebunmi
Isaac, you we not weep over your child and You won’t loose any of your
children)
I felt that
prayer needed to be said in my language. We set out with no hospital in mind.
We saw a hospital and decided to try it. We are about to enter the gate and
something stopped me. I tried to take another step but it’s like there’s a
force pulling me back. Right there I knew it was a sign.
Olu! I’m not
setting my foot inside this hospital, let’s check out another one
He looked at me
and he was like what’s going on. What’s wrong
with this one nau, let’s go in first and make enquiries
No, I said firmly.
My spirit is against this hospital
We continued our
search and came across another hospital and we decided to give it a try. We entered into
the hospital, I walked up to one of the Nurses at the reception and told her I
wanted to see a doctor.
She brought out
a form for me to fill. I filled it and gave it back to her.
She told me to
go back to the reception to sit that the doctor will call me in.
I joined Olu at
the reception, some minutes later, I was called.
I entered the
doctor’s office with Olu. We exchanged greetings. He asked me some questions
including why I wanted the abortion and I gave my answers.
He discovered I
was a student and She asked for my School ID card which I showed him.
He told me I’m
going to take another pregnancy test which I did. He directed me to the
hospitals laboratory.
Deep down within
me, I was hoping the result will come out negative, that is the only thing that
can put a stop to this nightmare, but unfortunately the result came ....
