Must Read: Deceit (A Short Story) By Amponsem Akosua - Season 1 - Episode 10

Not that I was awake when I heard those words, I was Still very much unconscious. Sooner I drifted away in sleep and didn't hear anything more. I traveled into dreamland where I saw myself holding a pitcher filled with water, suddenly a man appeared from no where and snatched the pitcher from my hand, he emptied the water and laughed wickedly. I don't know who the man was neither did I knew where he came from. I saw a baby flew outside my body, far away to where I know not. I shouted and called upon the baby to come back. The man was about breaking the pitcher when I started shouting "my pitcher, my baby" then I woke up, my vision was blur but I new somebody ran out of the room and came in with a man in white.
"where am I? What am I doing here? Where is my husband?" these were my questions. My mom was in tears, she was holding my hand.

"calm down Ade, you were rushed here yesterday afternoon and you've been unconscious since then, we here are all grateful to God for giving you another chance to live" I could recognize Dr. Komolafe's voice but could not see his face.

"my daughter, your husband hasn't visited since you were admitted, I called his line several times but he wasn't responding, please just get well soon, I've informed your brothers about your condition, Jolayemi said she's on her way here. We all care for you and love you"

I could remember I heard them talking about abortion, but who is the murderer who committed abortion when there are lots of people in need of it. I decided to ask my mother

"Mama Ade, who was doctor Komolafe discussing an abortion issue with earlier" I could see the Shock in her face. "were you?"


"don't mind the girl jare Oko mi, she came here for abortion not knowing this hospital doesn't do such" I knew it whenever my mom was lying and it was obvious she lied to about what she just said.

"get well soon for me Ade, you can't just leave me alone in this cruel world" she started crying

"what is wrong with me, why am I here"

"you passed out my dear" wiping her tears with hankie. "you screamed from your sleep, what did you see in your dream" she asked me.
