Julia felt his hands shivered. Carol Li sobbed more. It is definitely not easy for someone to take one’s child this way. This is supposed to be his first child.
“Junxie Li, please take it on his behalf” Carol Li implored. Junxie Li took the bodybag and asked if Rita was aware that her baby was gone.
The doctor said she passed out before they could get to tell her. She hasn’t recovered from her unconsciousness yet.
Junxie Li nodded and watched as Rita was wheeled out of the theatre. She looked pale and her lips were almost going paper white.
She laid on the stretcher like someone sleeping. It’s obvious that she hadn’t woken up from her unconscious state.
They all pitied her. Julia saw her and a part of him was moved. This was Rita, his girlfriend. What really happened that made him detest her like this?
They followed the nurse and saw her carefully placed on the bed. The nurse said the doctor had said she needs some pints of blood and Junxie Li said they could start infusing her.
Soon Rita was being transfused into the first pint of blood. Julia was standing by totally confused. His eyes were fixed on Rita, he pitied her present condition.
She had always loved him and he loved her back then. It was when she trapped him with the pregnancy that the center could no longer hold and things fell apart between them.
He was never concerned about her since she became Pregnant. He just sat back and waited for the child to be born without Caring a bit about the woman who carried the baby.
” Take your dead Child and think of what you would be doing with it” Junxie Li declared and pushed the bodybag to his hand.
Julia fisted his palm, and would not take it. He was scared and afraid that he was partially responsible for the Child not seeing the light of this life.
His eyes had gone red and he looked troubled already. He was hurting inwards and people around him could see it.
“Send it to be cremated, Junxie ” Carol Li requested. She saw how Julia looked and knew he could not do it, to crinate his own child.
” Why should I do all these for him, mum? When he was being inhuman towards her and it led to her depressed State, was I involved?
He goes about thrusting his dick wherever he finds an opening and leaves his pregnant wife to bear her fears and anxiety alone and…” Junxie Li was refusing his mother blatantly.
Julia didn’t refuse anymore. He accepted it and called his chauffeur to take him to have the child crenated.
It wasn’t quite thirty minutes before he was back with his father. Cheng Li was unhappy with what he heard. How can Rita just lose the pregnancy like that?
During lunch time, Lanre called Rosa. She said he could come and pick her up for lunch.
Lanre drove to Rosa’s work place to take her to lunch. Together they decided to have their lunch somewhere close to her work place so that it would be easy for her to return to work.
They had their lunch. Lanre didn’t take much. He had snacks and drinks. He was glancing at Rosa at intervals.
When they were done, Lanre went ahead and ordered another bottle of drinks for himself and Rosa.
He had a straw on and Rosa said she was ready to hear what he wanted to say. Her ears were itching her and she felt a little disturbed the entire day.
“I want you to know Rosa, that I love you very much. If I didn’t tell you, you would not know but I can’t bear to keep secrets from you..” Lanre started and then paused.
Rosa didn’t say anything but waited for him to continue. She allowed him to take a sip from his drink.
“I slept with someone else!” Lanre declared.
Rosa frowned. She stared at him as her facial expression changed. ” What did you say?” She asked him as if she didn’t hear him when he said it.
” I had sex with someone else” Lanre repeated. He didn’t raise his head up but kept it low and his mouth on the straw but he wasn’t sipping on the drinks.
Rosa’s eyes went teary. That’s how she lost her ex to another woman. Lanre was treading on that path too.
” How can you do this to me?” Rosa asked with a shaking voice. He claimed to love her and yet went into another woman. What’s the proof of his love?
“It was an accident Rosa” Lanre defended. Heavens knows he wasn’t Intentional about what happened. If he desperately needed to sleep with a woman and Rosa was not available for him, he definitely would not think of Nancy as an alternative.
” You claim you love me Lanre. You’ve been deceiving me as well? You were desperately in need of a woman and couldn’t wait for me before doing it randomly with someone else?
You can go to her. I can’t share you with someone else. If my body is not enough for you, go back to her. I don’t want to stop trusting you..” Rosa declared and was going to stand up when Lanre held her wrist.
” Take your hands off me. Just a few weeks of misunderstanding, you are already sleeping around. You expect me to believe you that you still love me?” she snapped at him and stood up.
Lanre stood up and quickly paid the bills and rushed out, trying to catch up with Rosa. She walked out and was hailing a taxi already.
Lanre walked briskly to her at the time the taxi stopped in front of her. She wanted to get in and Lanre pulled her back.
He waved at the taxi driver to go away. Rosa was angry. She was struggling and that action attracted the people’s glares.
” You are embarrassing me Lanre” Rosa yelled trying to pull away from his grip. ” You are the one creating a scene. I won’t struggle with you again.
I am a doctor Rosa, and it doesn’t speak of my professional ethics to be seen struggling with a woman by the roadside in broad daylight.
If you love me as much as I love you Rosa, come with me to the car and I will explain everything to you. But if you refuse, I swear by my mother Xiaoxi grave that I won’t pursue you again forever” Lanre declared and let go of her.
He doesn’t understand Rosa’s temperament at all. She can be the sweetest girlfriend when she’s happy and next, she wouldn’t remember any of her manners and go crazy with someone the next minute simply because she’s angry.
He left Rosa behind and walked back to his car. He slipped in and saw Rosa from the side view mirror walking back. He waited and Rosa opened the car and slipped in.
She sat down and folded her hands around her chest. She was upset and angry.
Lanre glanced at her and said ” I chose to tell what happened. If I closed up and didn’t tell you, would you have known?
Why can’t you women appreciate men who are transparent enough for you to see through? Besides, it was all your fault.
You broke up with me over senseless reasons. I was heartbroken and kept thinking about you all day. I couldn’t concentrate on anything and decided to get myself drunk if perhaps I would forget my misery.
I even switched off my phone and I was to be informed urgently of a surgery early the next morning. Since my cell phone number was switched off, Nancy decided to stop by my place to check on me and probably inform me about the surgery.
She knocked and I opened the door. Aunt Lulu took a day off and was not around. So I had to get the door myself. When I opened the door, the person I saw was you!
I was hallucinating. Your thoughts have filled my heart and mind and hence I only was seeing you. I was happy that you returned back to me and I didn’t hesitate to take her to my room and on my bed.
The deed was done and the next day when I woke up, I realised that you weren’t the one. That was the last and only time I did it with her.
I don’t like your temperament Rosa. I am afraid of making you my wife. One day we will have a misunderstanding and you will pull the trigger on me and before you realise what you are doing, you would have committed a murder.
I demanded sex from you the last time and you locked up. I was supposed to be angry with you but I didn’t. You saw me with an intern student and concluded I was seeing someone else.
Is that how shallow your love is? You dumb someone today and the next day, you are pursuing someone else?
You sent me messages and next insult me calling me a whore. Isn’t that too much for a man you claim you had loved in the past?
I am afraid we may not be getting married after all. I can’t get married to a woman who is too temperamental like you. You don’t wait to listen to explanations before making rash decisions…” Lanre was unhappy.
His facial expression was not a pleasant one. He started the ignition and said ” I will drop you off at work” and started the car.
