Woman Of Color ( on hold)

33: Pregnant again! 🤰

Why are you  constantly puking? Fransesca asked Simone who was standing by the doorway to the bathroom nauseous.

"I am fine ma, it is just slight fever", she said to defend herself.
  
"Simone don't tell me that, you don carry belle".

"Ma I am not pregnant its just slight fever, she insisted.

Fransesca stared at her up and down, giving her a huge slap on the face.
"How will you help your useless life if all you do is to get pregnant,and i warned you".

"Now tell me who got you pregnant?
Simone kept mute for a while trying to recollect any past event that could have led to such.

After some seconds speculating, she began to curse out loud
"Alex e no go better for you!!!
She repeated severally before  finally giving a response.

It all happened the day, the went outing to Blake Area 11, Simone had returned home tipsy of alcohol, She was assisted by Alex the driver, she remembered he assisted her on the bed, and the next thing he started pulling of her underwear and the rest was history.

Simone began to cry as her whole face was drenched in tears. Fransesca on the other hand was left standing utmostly intrigued by what she has just had.

Fransesca took her phone straightaway to put a call to Alex requesting for him to come over.
She wanted to find out the truth, as part of her doubted Simone's report,
"Who knows whether they were not having an affair"? She thought ti herself.

"Don't cry anymore, there's always a way out, You can always flush it out, This cannot be an hindrance to your success in this business, you are still very much young", Fransesca said to Simone as a counsel.

"Get ready let's go and see Doctor Abimbola"
Fransesca said to Simone.

Simone nodded her head  faintly as she walked straight to her room to get prepared, This is the first time she will ever get an abortion" and she was pretty nervous about the probability of what might happened.

While in deep thought, she stared her son, little Hamza as he breath softly in his couch.
Even for the fact that he is a child, Simone could applaud the tolerance he had with all the tragedy that has befallen them, other children could have died, but he stood strong in the midst of it all,
He is a fighter a warrior.

"The sky is your limit" Simone silently whispered to him, singing it as a form of lullaby.
Coincidentally her late foster mum Azeezat use to song it for her while she slept as a child.
   Simone remembered those words  and was filled with sobriety.
 
She stood and sat  in her bed and began to reminisce back to everything,
She wondered how everything had turned out this way, and how life has pushed her, to the extent that she had no choice to settle for a meagre job like prostitution.

Life can be unfair, it is a roller coaster! Filled with up and downs, if you don't push life, life will push you.
Maybe for the fact Simone was not ambitious, had no sense of purpose, just feel she is just existing, gambling her life like a deck of cards.
 
She had no identity, even with good moral education, her Vunerabilities, her hardships stood apparently as her blindspots.

"There's surely going to be light at the endof the tunnel, Simone soliloquied as she wiped off her tear from her eyes, As she was in the process doing so, Yusuf spoke out; "Kuna Kuka" Yusuf said to his sister.

Simone pretentiously wiped off her tears,  "I am not crying, something got stucked in my eyes", she said giving a one hell of a lie.

Simone then hurriedly cuddle him and pet him back to sleep, but Yusuf was quite resilient he knew something was wrong with her and kept pestering her to tell him.
