Aysha turned to look at her husband noting how his whole exterior changed, his expression changed. It baffles her how Doctor Hadiza just concluded that she was pregnant by doing just a few tests.
When she noticed they were about to argue with her, she asked for an ultrasound and it was confirmed. For a while Aysha was dumbfounded. How? Wait she knew how! But they were only intimate twice.
She looked at her husband expecting a smile but to her dismay he walked out. She turned to the now confused doctor and smiled tight lipped. "Thank you!" And then she ran after her husband.
—————————-
Please let her not abort it!
Ahmad continued chanting. It came to him as a shock. His wife is pregnant again. Will she commit the same thing she did before? Will she just kill the innocent child again? Because he was a hundred percent sure he wouldn't be able to take it. The first time he felt like dying. If it happens the second time he would actually die.
His thoughts were cut off by Aysha bursting into the office wide eyed.
"Ahmad!" She rushed out. "Is something wrong? Are you not happy? Why did you walk out like that?"
He looked at her. Perhaps it's time to set his manipulative side to the test.
"I'm I happy? I think I should ask you that! Are you happy? Cause last time I check you're the one who aborted the first one cause you weren't ready. Are you going to abort this too?" He just has to but deep down he was pained. He knew she was already stressed and she deeply regretted what she did. He didn't want to add to her worries. Stress he knew was bad for pregnant women but then that will apply to her only if she wants to keep the baby. He watched her face morphed into sadness like she couldn't fathom why he will bring that up.
"Ahmad!" Her tone broke towards the ending. "Why will you say that? Wai Dan Allah Baka mantuwane? I said I'm sorry and to tell you, no I'm not aborting this child. I was planning on telling you earlier. I want to quit my job. It started as a motivation for revenge and I got it. It's time to stop."
What?
No that wasn't what he wanted, he knows how much she loves her job, for her to be able to quit her job for him almost brought tears to her eyes.
"I'm sorry, that I gave you space in your heart to doubt me, it's almost a year now just a month since we got married and were already having crisis. I know I caused it. I know it's my fault. I'm sorry!" And with a sob she ran out of the office.
Ahmad sat down on the chair, clenching and unclenching his hair, he was frustrated. It was at that position that Ibrahim saw him.
"Hey, I just saw Aysha leaving the hospital. I was talking to her but she didn't reply me which is weird. And now you're here obviously distressed. What happened?" He sat down adjacent to him.
"Ibro, I think it's time to stop. Aysha is pregnant!" Ibrahim's mouth dropped open. "And I don't think I can put her through more trauma. Besides she dropped a bomb today!"
"Really? What?"
"She's quitting her job!" Ahmad opened the collar of his shirt to give him more room to breath.
Ibrahim looked at him surprised. "Then you're right! For Aysha to say she's quitting her job then that means she has learnt her lesson." He paused. "Wait! Your anniversary is next month right?" Ahmad nodded in affirmation. "Then let's do one more please!"
