Aishatu's Pov




I opened my eyes and felt something affixed to my hand. I swerved my gaze to my right hand and saw a drip affixed to my hand.
The door to the ER cracks open and the Doctor walks in.
I'm in the hospital. I gasp.



How are you feeling now? The lady asked me with a smile.
I'm feeling much better. Doctor, please who brought me here? I ask her.
A man brought you here and he said he works in the same place with you. The Doctor muttered.



Okay, Doctor. I muttered.
Mrs. Congratulations, you are two weeks pregnant. The Doctor muttered.
Thank you, Doctor. I muttered with a smile.
You need to rest, you should also stop stressing yourself and eat healthy food.
Don't eat junk food now else it might affect your pregnancy.



The Doctor advised me on what to do and things I shouldn't do.
The test results will be ready later. The Doctor muttered and I thanked her.
She saunter out of the ward.
I pick up my phone and Dial my husband's number.



He didn't pick up so I assume he is busy with work.
I drop the phone and lye down on the hospital bed.
My phone started ringing, I picked it up and placed it on my ear.



Noor, how is work? My husband muttered immediately after I picked up the call.
Qalb, I'm in the hospital. I muttered with a yawn.
What happened to you? Which hospital are you in? My husband asked me worriedly.
I'm in your hospital. General Hospital Maitama. I muttered.



He muttered okay and hung up.
In the blink of an eye, my husband walks in.
He rushes to me and hugs me.
How are you? My husband asked me touching my cheek.
I'm fine, Qalb. I muttered.



What happened to you? My husband asks me.
Qalb, I don't know. When I was about to defend the girl that was raped, I stood up to give the judge my evidence when I started feeling dizzy.
I managed to speak up but I couldn't finish when I fell to the ground and conked out.
I was brought here by Attorney Mustapha. He is my opponent. I muttered.




I'm sorry, has the Doctor checked on you? Maybe it's stress. Noor, I told you to rest but you shrugged. I know how hard you are trying to win the case but you have to rest.
My husband muttered.
Qalb, it's not stress. I'm ... I couldn't finish my words when the door cracked open.




A nurse walks in with a smile.
Aisha Usman, your test result is ready. The nurse muttered.
Okay, please give it to my husband. I muttered.
My husband collected the white paper from the nurse and thanked her.



My husband opened the paper and read what was written on it.
His face broke into a smile.
He hoists his head up and smiles at me. I smile back at him.
You are pregnant. My husband muttered.
Yes, I am. I muttered.
Congratulations, Noor. My husband muttered.



I was discharged.
My husband helped me to the car.
Qalb, are you done with work? I ask him.
Yes, I'm done for today. My husband muttered.
We walk to the car and my husband open the car for me.



Qalb, let's go to Adnan's house tonight to greet his wife. I muttered squishing my husband's hand.
No, let's postpone it to tomorrow.
You need enough rest. My husband muttered.
Qalb, I have a case to judge. The case is not over yet. I won't let Attorney Mustapha win the case. It started yesterday.




That girl is innocent. I have to fight for her right.
The parents of the Man who rape her pay Attorney Mustapha a huge amount of money to cover their Son up.
I haven't gotten enough evidence. I will make sure I gather them all before next week. I muttered.
