Hurry up let's get going, Kabir yelled from the car
Give me a minute please, I replied and hurried as fast as I can with my heavy self
Sorry, I had to put a finishing touch to my make up
You girls and lack of time management, we are already 30 minutes late, he said clearly irritated but do I even mind? NO. He's almost always like this but I am Soo happy to be going on a date with him today like the freaking Domino's. You sure can guess who's gonna eat to her fill tonight.
I am sorry, besides you should lighten up, we can't go on a date with you looking like that, I replied giving a puppy eye and pulling his cheek gently
Alright fine, we should go have fun, he said his lips forming a smile. That's the spirit.
Parking in front of Domino's, I wonder why the location chosen for this type of superb place is close to the noisy and busy Obasanjo complex, like this place should be in a quiet location where a date vibe can flow well.
Entering the place however, I would choose to come here over and over. Like it has the two best things. There's pizza and there's ice cream like what else do I need. I don't know if this is my pregnancy cravings talking but I don't want to leave here anytime soon.
What would you like to have first? Kabir asked after we settled down
I'd like the pizza and ice cream, I said already salivating
Ok nah, he said and a few minutes later, I had a warm like hot pizza in front of me. Without waiting for Kabir, I started solving it down and God does it taste much more better. I guess pizzas are my new best junk.
In between taking ice creams and gisting, I began to feel the gentle ache in my Tommy increase like what is wrong? Ignoring the pain, I turned back to my pizza and half listened to Kabir.
So where is the wedding scheduled to take place? Kabir asked
It's going to take place in Abuja since both families stay there, I replied. Yes, ya Moha and Zainab decided to tie the knot at long last. We are scheduled to travel for it tomorrow, since the wedding is to be held on Friday and Saturday which is next tomorrow and the day after it. I know you guys are wondering how they met. So they met at my wedding. I don't know how because they won't disclose it but what I know is they started dating on my wedding day which about a year now and they are gonna hold their wedding💃💃💃 I am Soo excited right now
We would have to leave early tomorrow so you'll have time to rest and prepare for the wedding then, he said doing God knows what with his phone
That's no problem, I already packed our stuffs so I just have to wait for tomorrow, I replied facing my ice cream squarely. His attention doesn't seem to be here anymore, his concubine owns him now.
Picking up my phone and perusing through my social media feeds, I replied some messages, ignored some, viewed statuses and stories. After getting bored, I looked up to see Kabir blushing to his phone. I wonder who this other woman is but whoever she is, she has taken over his heart which actually hurts because as his wife, I haven't been able to do that. I have only succeeded in capturing his anger, irritation, disgust and at times, his kindness and politeness and his lust which is something rare nowadays since the bond between them has become stronger and she's fulfilling that particular need already.
Can we leave now? I guess we are already done, I said my mood escalating to a low
Sure we can, he said moving to the cashier to pay before we left.
Arrrggh!!! I yelled as I was about to open the car door. A sharp pain pierced through my belly, I have never experienced such before
What's wrong?? Kabir asked rushing to my side
My.... Ahhhhh.... My stomach, I said as I bent over in pain
God!!! are you in labour? He asked nervousness and helplessness showing on his face
Just shut up and take me to the hospital, I yelled my side eye taking note of the crowd gradually pooling around us. God this is Soo embarrassing
Alright, he said helping me into the car before he moved to the driver's side conveying us to the hospital
+-+-+
You aren't fully dilated, you'll be in about 10-15 minutes though, you should have a little patience, the doctor said for the third time now which is getting on my nerves. Get that human out of me, I am dying here!!!!
Ok thank you very much Doctor, the stupid Kabir said. When he's not the one in pain, why wouldn't it be easy for him to say "ok" just like that.
Yeh!!! I screamed out as a contraction hit me. I need help, like why am I in labour now?? I am not due until after another three weeks.
Mimi sorry, it'll only be a while. I already called our parents, your mom would be here after the wedding but my mum would be here tomorrow morning, It's already midnight and there's no one to drive her here. She however sends her regards and asked me to tell you to stay strong, Kabir said petting my hair gently all the while whispering sweet nothings as if I believe his nonsense. Someone should just take this thing out of me.
After an harrowing 15 minutes, the doctor I was dilated enough and was ready to get the baby out. The nurses instead of the normal "push, push" gave me a rope and we engaged in a pulling game. This is ridiculous!! I need the baby out of me and not games. Feeling the movement of my baby towards my vagina however made me think, perhaps this is also effective too but
GET THIS THING OUT FAST!!!! I am in pain!!!
As I felt the legs leave my body, I felt this deep relieve however the pain down there hasn't subsided fully. Looking at the tiny being in the doctor's hand, my lips formed a smile. Not knowing the gender of my baby, I succumbed to darkness.
