Tales Of Halimah

Chapter 5

Habibah was so relaxed in her friend's house. She was admiring the entire living room from the chandelier to the fan, the couch, the tv set, all seems to be amusing her.
After sometime of relaxing and sipping juice in the living room, Habibah decided to go check out what her friend was doing.
Aisha had prepared African mossa for her and was coming to the living room to serve it to her when she heard someone scream. She quickly ran off to check what was happening, there she found Habibah lying on the floor she had fainted.
Aisha quickly called her doctor, then went over to get water to sprinkle on her.
Habibah woke up wondering why her friend was looking so tensed up, she only just missed a few steps that must be why she fainted. Aisha wasn't even listening to anything she was saying until the doctor arrives.
Habibah kept reassuring her that she only wanted to come help out on the kitchen when she missed her steps and that she was fine.
The Doctor arrived and within a few minutes was done with the checkup and now announced to them that from now on she needs more rest, healthy food and lots of love. He also announced that the next six months should be non stressful for her because of her condition.
Habibah was wondering what gibberish the doctor was speaking in, what did he mean by she needed more rest from now on.
Aisha had already gone out with the doctor and by the time she was back she had a very big smile on her face.
Aisha got to the living room smiling so much, she couldn't hide her joy as she broke the news to Habibah that she was pregnant. Precisely 12 weeks pregnant and from now on she needed rest, she handed her the doctor's report.
Habibah was in fact in complete shock, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, her emotions were mixed-up. Aisha on the other was just excited about the news, after 2 years finally her friend will be a mother.
Habibah then recalled what Aisha told her that she is precisely 12 weeks  pregnant and as far as she can remember she and Dauda have not been on good terms, so how is she pregnant.
Aisha was still congratulating her on the good news when she broke down in tears. Aisha thought it was tears of joy but it wasn't looking like.
When she had calmed down a bit Habibah told her about the incident that had occured 18weeks ago. She also informed her that she had missed her period too but it has happened before and when she gets all excited about it, it still made no difference.
Aisha still wasn't following up with the story, So Habibah also told her about Dauda's New attitude towards her. The couple had not been in good terms so how in the world could she be pregnant.
This only means one thing the child she was carrying was a bastard.
