Episode 6 (finale) Mom kept numb and only looked at me with a tear filled eye, I was already palms wet with tears, my head bent as I waited her bashing. Mom: why Bianca? (She said amidst tears BIANCA: I am sorry ma MOM: who is responsible? BIANCA: errrm, errm ma? I mean its Ben ma. MOM: does he know? BIANCA: yes ma, he asked that I abort it MOM: what! You are doing no such thing my child, yes you have done wrong but you are still my child Bianca, no one throws awy the child with the bath water. Hmmm go to bed and stop crying, we will go to the hospital tomorrow but please ask Ben to come see me tomorrow evening BIANCA: he is not picking my calls, I went to the super market but he wouldn’t listen to me. MOM: message him and ask Him to come see me tomorrow I do not know how you will do it but first drop his number on the jotter on that table. BIANCA: mom can you help me tell Dad? MOM: goodnight Bianca you need rest ( she said as tears flooded her cheeks. MOM POV) Where on earth have I gone wrong? Where have I failed in my motherly responsibilities. How do I tell my husband amidst all that he is going through? oh Lord !Bianca has killed me. I was still thinking when my husband came in and asked why i looked lost in thought. I couldn’t find words to say but I know I need to tell him, he can kill Bianca but I wouldn’t let that happen. I motioned him with my hand to sit next to me on the bed MOM: my husband I need to discuss something really important with you, I need you to be calm and not over react. DAD: my wife, you know I have no more strength in me, what is it? Say it as it is. MOM: Bianca just left here and she… DAD: I hope it is not money because I do not have money why did she not come to me or is she now scared because I lost my job and she feels I will not have enough to give to her? MOM: no my husband. She is pregnant DAD: [screaming] whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! How? Why? You must be joking woman? Not my Bianca MOM: calm down my husband, this girl needs us now more than she has ever needed anything. She is killing herself over this already she needs our support and most importantly our love. Ben is avoiding her because refused to abort the child. DAD: I knew it was your entire fault, you are still supporting her after this barbaric act, and you have failed as a woman. How couldn’t you control your only daughter just an 8year old!! She needs our love and support? Have we ever not shown love to this girl? See Clara, she is out there studying and making good grades how do we face the world? And that Ben guy whom I welcomed to this home like my son and though he wished well to my daughter is avoiding her because of a child? No I am too broke to raise a bastard, I cannot take this. MOM: how is it my fault? Where have I lacked? I have done everything to keep this family happy even quitting my well paying job. Did I impregnate her? my daughter will give birth to a child not a bastard. I left the room to the guest room because I cant get why he will blame me for our daughters mistake, I did not sleep with her or ask her to, what has happened has happened and I will be by her side. BIANCA POV) I stood at the master bedroom door as soon as I noticed dad had gone inside, I heard how he barked and blamed mom, I hated the fact that I am the one making my parents fight. He called my child a bastard no I have to go away before he finds me he will kill me. I heard someone coming towards the door, I ran to my room and peeping through I saw it was mom who walked to the guest room. I wept all night and felt like killing myself, or disappearing I wish this was all a bad nightmare and will wake up to see it’s all a lie from the Disney series. The morning sun shined to my face as I felt the door open, I opened my etes and saw dad in my room, I was so scared but then he has a tea mug on his hand DAD: morning Bianca, here is tea for you, hope you slept well and how is my grandchild? BIANCA: [fear gripped and surprised] sir? DAD: smiling, yes your mom told me we are expecting an addition to the family, yes I won’t lie you did wrong and I am not happy but then it has been done we just need to make sure we do not repeat it. You will be just fine mmy child. I am here to make sure you have everything, we love you BB. Now get ready so your mom takes you to the hospital and with or without Ben you will be fine. Is this not the same dad that yelled all night? What happened? I cried in his arms until I fell asleep. I woke up to a tap by mom and we wnt to the hospital for HIV and anti natal registration. It’s been months, the tummy was big enough and the baby ready for delivery, Ben still did not show up even after mom had called him. Both parents were supportive and were always with me to the hospital, dad took charge of my tea every day. We went baby shopping as it was a girl. Jerry was always on my tummy to hear her kick, dad wanted to be named Rebecca as it was his mom’s name. The day for delivery came, we went to the hospital and all I remember is the pain I went through for hours as the doctors tried their best and the baby was not coming because of how tight I was. I had a 7hour long labor that I lost consciousness. I woke up after two days and asked of my baby but no one wanted replying BIANCA: where is my little Rebecca, how long will it take to bath her? DAD: I am so sorry Bianca you need to be strong, hmm we will help you through this BIANCA: where is my baby please? MOM: Rebecca is dead. I stayed indoors for months, always crying with the clothes we had bought for Becca, why my child? Nothing felt the same. I had partial memory loss for months and almost gave in to suicide. Dad ordered that the clothes be given to the orphanage. Charles was always in the house as mom and dad got to trust him. He heard of it from Clara and always came around to keep me company. Ben came back begging but NO! Not again. After a year I decided it was time I moved on, but the memories still lingered, I never got to meet my child. I stayed away from all men except Charles we were not dating, he became the only man I trust after dad though dad Is now really cautious of my every move. I went through it but did came out strong. This is to every lady, man or human in pain, no matter how long you will be fine NEVER consider abortion (MTN: 89775984090282007) The end Written by: Delia Pictures: www.google.com Cover Art: kamcy.
