Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 14 BEAUTIFUL SINNER

Nuaimat.

I woke up to continuous beeping sound in the room i was, i opened my eyes to take in my surroundings, i felt like i have awoken from a dream, i felt tired but no pains, another reason for me to believe i dreamt of being unconscious, being a sprit, people checking up on me, me giving birth, but that pain, i could swear was real, i stood up and headed straight to the curtains, i flipped open the curtains and allow the morning rays hit my face, just when the door was opened, i quickly averted my gaze to them and i saw  a young nurse followed by an elderly woman doctor came in, "she is awake" squealed the young  nurse in delight, i raised an eyebrow and walked to my bed and sat down,
  "How are you feeling" asked the elderly doctor, "tired, how long was i out" i asked,
   "three weeks" answered the young doctor  excitedly, the elderly doctor gave her a glare, "sorry" she murmmered,
   "Wow, three weeks, and where am i" i asked but i was not so sure i want to hear the answer,
  "In the Crystal hospital in Abuja" answered the woman calmy,
"oh, i was out for two weeks in this hospital, all because of the accident" i asked again, the two exchange wide looks and then turned to me, "well from the day of the accident to today we count that to be ten month exactly" said Dr.Chandni, "now am confused, you just said three weeks and now you said ten months" i said,
  "Well you were 27days pregnant the day you were brought in, you have being in coma ever since and two weeks back you gave birth to a baby girl and immediately after the CS you passed out till today" said the woman,
   "Oh" i exclaimed making the O shape with my mouth, and then started to laugh, i stood up and said "thanks for your hospitality and am ready to go, em em who brought me in" 
   "Dr. Uzair" they chorused, just when another guy doctor came in, indeed i dreamt real, i mean i have seen all of this three in my dream and others more, "here he is" said the young doctor, "good mister, can you please get my things with you if there is any, am ready to leave, thanks so much for your hospitality, i mean this room looks amazing, it's a pity i wasn't conscious enough to enjoy it's luxury, but thank you" i said as i begun to fold the blanket, they watch me like a talking lunatic, "what's your name" asked the woman, "Nuaimat Hus..... " i then kept quiet " Nuaimat just Nuaimat" i said shaking off any doubt, "where were you headed" asked the girl, "kaduna, before some careless driver caused an accident, i don't know how it actually happened but it has to be something serious for me to end up here" i said now trying to remove the bedsheets to fold, why am i doing so, i have no idea,
   "Actually it was a little jolt and you were comatose  due to the panic attack you had, " he said, "yeah i am a huge victim of panic att....but i kept quiet as it sinked into me 'his words'
"How did you know it was just a jolt" i asked, "i was the other driver" he said, i peeped from the bedsheets in my hand, "oh, oh, oh, i forgive you but you have to take me to  Kaduna" i said,

"i will but can i have any of your family's contact so that i can tell them where you are" he asked,
"you know what on seconds thought i will go by myself" i said i finished folding the sheets, i turned to them, they were still mouth agape, "um this is the part where i get my clothes to change" i said with a grin, "i can contact your husband and explain" he said, i gave him the what look "what makes you think am married, is my face puffy or what, am just 16" i said touching my cheeks, they exchange another looks, "so you are not married" asked the elder woman, "no i don't even have a boyfriend" i said rolling my eyes, "but you were pregnant, and now have deliverd a girl" said the woman, i opened my mouth to deny it but instead i said  "okey fine i get it,  you scanned me and saw my stomach but what are you driving at by saying i have given birth" i asked looking at them, "you have given birth to a girl just three weeks ago" he said,
   "No i didn't, first i feel not any pains that showed i have given birth, second i am not bleeding and all women who have given birth do bleed, so any more thing to say" i asked with a smile of triumph,
   "Dear, you may not feel the pains that much because it was a CS, and the bleedings stopped just a week ago" said the woman,
   "I don't believe you all, am sorry but i have to go" i said,
  "Fine, lets bring your child" said Zuhura,
"You won't just give up, i know i dreamt of all this you were telling me, but they are just dreams, so what are you playing at" i asked looking at them, "check your abdomen, you will see it all" said the woman, i rolled my eyes and backed them, then raised the hem of my knee lenght hospital gown and there it was the stiches showing i was operated, then it downed on me, hitting me like a stone in my heart, my breathing became to come in blocks, a sign for my panic attack, "no way, it's real, i did give birth, it wasn't a dream" i said and turned to them,
 

"Three weeks ago you gave birth to a baby girl" said the woman coming closer to me because i was about to have a panic attack, "how can that be possible" i asked panting,
    "We are here to help you, if you are willing to tell us what happened" she said holding up my face, i hesitated for some seconds and then i nodded,

There i told them everything that happened and even my suspicions, after my story they told me how they found out that am still a virgin and was inseminated.

I cried and cried till i could cry no more, then my daughter was pushed in in a cradle for me to see, i looked away, "look at her" said the woman, "no, how will i look at her in years to come to tell her i was careless and she happened, how will i even begin to know what to do with her, i am just 16" i cried, "Nuaimat, careless or not one can't just avoid ones faith, if you deny your own flesh now, who will accept her, accept her and let her be the symbol of your strength against this cruel world, let her be your companion, accept her as your blood and have something to live a life for, and i assure you, she will grow up to know how strong and decent you were" said the woman,  i used my palm and wiped away my tears, and turned to the baby in a cradle, "ya Salam" i exclaimed, she is a beautiful creation, her eyes were open, i absent mindedly carried her and she inturn placed her little palms on my cheeks and there i felt the love that came with her, it was rushing through my veins and every part of my body, she is actually mine, i was mouth agape and then i whispered "Sahrish my sunrise", the baby cooed a bit as if she liked what i just said "you are my nurul hudah, it means my light, you are indeed real and i swear to protect you with my love and strength by the will of our Creator" i whispered all this to her ear and kissed her forehead with tears in my eyes because i and she i realized are just two fragile girls in this cruel world, "what will you name her Nuaimat, Dr. Chandni actually started calling her Daanya, it means beautiful gift from Allah, but she said it's just a nick name so what will you name her" asked the nurse, i smiled and looked at my baby's eyes and there the word rushed from the bottom of my heart to my tongue, my lips parted and i said the words "Tanisha Daanya,  it means happiness  and a beautiful gift from Allah, she is indeed a beautiful gift from Allah and she is my happines" i said, "Tanishia Daanya" they all chorused and i nodded, "welcome to the world Tanisha" i said and kissed her yawning lips which form the the O shape, "hey Tanisha, i am Chandni, and this is my nephew Uzair and here our friend Zuhura, welcome to the world" said Dr.Chandni as she collected Tanisha from my hand, i giggled as she cooed at my Baby, yeah you heard right, MY BABY.

Uzair

That same afternoon, there was issues between i and Aunty in my office, about Nuaimat, Zaid happens to be there or will i say has being coming here for three weeks to see the baby Tanisha whom he named ZAINA, it means beautiful, he seem to have being bonded to the baby and never for once asked to see who her mum was, even when i told him the mother is just a 16 year old girl who has nowhere to go because she was inseminted without her knowledge and disowned by her father, he shrugged and went on rocking the baby in his hands, even now he is with the baby because Nuaimat is sleeping.

the issue we are having is where will Nuaimat go from here, i suggested she stays with me in my bachelor's apartment, but Aunty was against it she says it will be more appropriate if she comes home and stay with her, but the issue is how she will explain to her kids a 16 with a child, we have being talking about it for almost 30 minutes when Zaid said "Let the two come live with me for the mean time", we both turned to him and he said "i have a sister just her age, i will get a nanny till you two decide what to do", "why" asked Aunty, "well for the baby" he said with a grin, "i will think about that, i have a patient to check on" said my Aunt and headed out,

"What are you playing at" i asked Zaid when i was sure my Aunt was out of ear shot, "i want the baby" he said, "i don't get you" i inquired, "i want the baby, the mother has no need for her, she is just a pathetic teen girl with no means of caring for the girl, so i want the girl to be mine" he said, "and how do you hope to accomplish that when you just suggested the two should be in your place" i asked folding my hands, "i plan to let the girl stay with me for a year or two, there i will ask her to let me be the legal guardian of her daughter, she won't refuse, so i will get all papers that will show she is mine alone and with that i and my sister will leave the country for good" said Zaid, i was mouth agape but i managed to ask "and you think she wont sue you, you are not an unpopular person",  "she has no power to that, this is Nigeria" said Zaid with a smile of trumpet and he kissed the baby, right now don't blame if i see Zaid as BEAUTIFUL SINNER.
