Last Winter's Gift

Chapter 6

Nurse Adeoti entered Lab II   with two other nurses.

It was almost thirty minutes, they were not out yet.
One of the nurses came out empty handed, the second nurse came of too.
Aminat was not at rest, she couldn't comport herself, she went to the rest room two times before nurse Adeoti finally came out.
She looked happy, her cheeks were big, she was smiling.

Madam, come to my office with Aminat MA.

They entered!

Nurse: You welcome ma
Madam Balykis: How was it? I can't wait to know the truth, I have been suspecting her very lately, she was not comfortable as we were sitting there.
Nurse: Calm down ma, it's well.
Madam Balykis : OK what's it?
Nurse: Congratulations, She is...
Nurse Adeoti couldn't finish it as Madam Balykis interrupted and shouted.
You this child, I won't allow this, you have to explain how this happened.
I used everything to satisfy you "she was blabbing and immediately she slapped Aminat as she wanted to explain".
Mummy I'm errrmmm.

Calm down MA, I'll settle this "Nurse Adeoti said".

Madam Balykis : who is responsible for this? Tell me before I kill you now, Abo lori buu omo lofe ya ni (you want to be an unfortunate child). She said in Ibadan accent.
Aminat: Mummy I knew I was pregnant, it was a mistake, pls MA "she was sobbing profusely"

Madam Balykis couldn't hold it anymore she slapped her again and she landed on the floor.

Calm down ma, don't wound her, my only child is responsible for it, I'll take full responsibility.
She is my son's fiancee, I knew the together, please leave her.

Madam Balykis thought she was not hearing very well. Pardon what did you just said?

My only child is responsible for it, I'll take full responsibility.
She is my son's fiancee, I knew the together,

Madam Balykis was upset now, she was stammering.

Suddenly she left the hospital angry alonside with Aminat running after her...

Now, Alimat's uncle was back from office, the paper was in her pocket, he has read it and he was ready to ask Alimat many questions.

Alimat where are you?, Come here.

Alimat has been looking for the paper though but she has concluded that she had swept it away.

Sir, I'm Inside, I'm coming now.

Uncle Ibrahim removed his suit, he switched on the AC, power on the television and was waiting for Alimat.

I'm here sir, you are welcome, how was the office?. Alimat said

You and this your accent, when will learn to greet in Yoruba?. Uncle Ibrahim said

Sit down let me ask you questions.
I saw this book on the couch this morning, I found it so interesting because I could see you know the writer and you are aware of what is inside. So tell me what's happening?

The story was written by Aminat my friend, she was pregnated by her boy friend Musa, she wrote on the note because she couldn't face me, she knows I'll be so dissapointed, she is our senior girl and my best friend too... Alimat explained.

You're a friend to her? A wayward? Prostitute?
Who made her the school prefect sef?, what about her parents?, has she aborted it?
Uncle Ibrahim kept asking as a journalist.

Uncle, she is a good girl, I can't explain how it happened but I'll ask her in details tomorrow. Alimat said.

OK Alimat, get me my food, I'm hungry "uncle Ibrahim said.
