Must Read: Deceit (A Short Story) By Amponsem Akosua - Season 1 - Episode 7

"you are pregnant Ade" doctor Komolafe said with happiness written all over his face.

I already guessed so, so it didn't really come as a surprise but I was indeed happy. I dialed my husband's number but dropped it before the call got to his phone because I wanted it to be a surprise to him. I called my mother to break the news she had be eagerly waiting for to her. I was so happy that I didn't go to office that day I only requested that the report for the day's work should be sent to my email.

My husband came earlier than I thought and I handed the result to him. The happiness I saw all over him was far from fake. He increased his care towards me that I counted myself the luckiest to have such an amazing man.

One Saturday, Jolayemi called to tell me there's an important issue we needed to discuss I didn't take it serious but said I will find chance to see her the following week.

I was in the office one morning when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, it became so severe that I couldn't bear the pain. I told my secretary to call my husband and that it was emergency, I didn't want to go the hospital not until he is there with me. I had already lost consciousness before he came around, blood was everywhere. I opened my eyes but couldn't see clearly, my vision was blur, Chuks was by my side. "what am I doing here" I asked my husband with the little strength I have.

"honey, you don't have to say anything"

The doctor came in and his look was not pleasant at all. I managed to ask him how long did I pass out. He told me 6hours. That was when I remembered how it all happened, sharp pain in my stomach, I saw blood but didn't know why before I passed out. perhaps the secretary called my husband as I instructed her.

"Mr chuks let me see you in my office" doctor told my husband.
