FORBIDDEN LOVE 14

Continuation…..

The next morning, I woke up in the arms of uncle Sam. I hadn’t
realized we had cuddled up while sleeping. I slowly moved away from
him but as soon as I got up, he woke up. He looked at the wall
clock just opposite him and jumped up. I knew we were already
running late for the appointment. He told me to quickly take a
shower while he also gets ready and so I left to other room where I
was supposed to have stayed for the night. I only had the shorts
and shirt I had brought with me, which I wore on Saturday
mornings in school for our morning exercise.
Anyway, I took a shower and got dressed. In no time, we were
done and ready to leave the house, so he locked the doors behind
and we drove off to the hospital. When we got to the hosptal, I
looked around lost, knowing that it wasn’t the same hospital my
parents usually brought I or Meso to whenever we needed to see
the doctor. We got into the reception and uncle Sam told the nurse
about our appointment before she asked us to take a seat in the
waiting room. I looked around really nervous and I guess uncle Sam
noticed it because he looked at me, and held my right hand. I
swallowed and tried to hide the fact that I was as scared, nervous
and whatever you could call a state that was just scary and
unexplainable. I was scared that I was going to have an abortion
which I hadn’t really heard pleasant things about. Something I had
never thought I would ever do. I was pretty young to understand
a lot about what was going on, what to do or say so I went with
the flow hoping that I would be leaving the hospital without being
pregnant. My heart was pounding because nobody knew any of this
except uncle Sam and I…………and maybe the doctor and nurses
soon.
At that point, I didn’t even care what the doctor or any of the
nurses would think of me. I was so embarrassed with the whole
situation, I just wanted it to be over. I wanted to burst out and
cry like the baby I was. I saw the sadness in uncle Sam’s face. I
saw the anger in his eyes. He was definitely angry with himself but
it didn’t look like it, only I could tell, so I thought to myself. After
about five more minutes, a nurse came up with a file in her hands
and called uncle Sam’s name so we both stood up and followed the
nurse behind as she led us to the doctor’s office. She knocked,
opened the door and let us go in before shutting the door and
leaving us to the doctor.
“Good day Sam Sam, how are you?” he said as he stood up to shake
uncle Sam.
“Samo! Doctor, Mr. Samuel Adekunle! Nice to see you again. You
know ever since you became a doctor, I haven’t called your
nickname in ages. Ahh Samo! Nice to see you. Nice to see you.”
uncle Sam replied.
The way they talked, laughed and exchanged words got me thinking
that they were long time friends.
“This is my niece, Mesonma and Meso this is Samuel, my long time
friend.” uncle Sam said introducing us to each other.
I fake smiled at him and greeted him before he asked us to take
our seats.
“Mesonma, your uncle here already told me about everything so I’ll
just ask you a few questions before you take the pregnancy test.
Don’t worry, I know you’re nervous but it will be okay.” the doctor
said with a warm but professional look.
I looked at uncle Sam before I nodded, I can’t remember why. The
doctor started with his questionnaire, from when last did I see my
period to how I had been feeling lately. I answered him as
accurately as I could before he asked if I was ready to take the
test. And when I told him I was ready, he took up the landline on
his desk and phoned someone who was probably the nurse that was
to help me with taking the test. In like a minute or two, we heard
a knock on the door and a nurse came in. Then the doctor asked me
to follow her to take the pregnancy test.
Uncle Sam’s Pov
As I watch Mesonma leave the office, I looked at Samuel who
looked at me with a not so pleasing eyes. I knew what he was going
to say next.
“Twelve years old Sam, ahn ahn, You no even try oo. Your niece
again.”
“It’s okay now Samuel, I didn’t say you should start making me
feel worse than I already feel. I know I was very wrong and I
shouldn’t have done what I did but it has already happened. Trust
me, I still feel very horrible about it. Thanks man for this though. I
appreciate.”
“Honestly, don’t thank me because I’m really disappointed oo. Look
at the kind of risk you’re putting me into. If not because of our
friendship, I would never have agreed to such. Do you know what
all these mean. Getting a small girl that is also your niece pregnant
and asking me to help you with an abortion. Common Sam, you’re
better than this. You need to change your ways oo.”
“Boss, I don hear you.”
We didn’t converse for too long before Meso came in with the same
nurse she left with. And as Meso took her seat beside me again,
the nurse gave Samuel, the doctor a file she had been holding.
Meso’s pov
As the nurse handed the file to the doctor, I sat down in suspense
waiting to hear the results of my test. My eyes were fixed on the
doctor and the file. The doctor waved for the nurse to leave and so
as she left, he opened the file and after about a minute, he looked
at me and said;
“Mesonma, you’re not pregnant.”
