Married Bonifacio
I kept on tossing around the bed, I couldn’t sleep. Today is the day I’ll go to the hospital for antenatal, I’m nervous and excited at the same time
I mean it’s been four months since I divorced Robert, Four months of accepting defeat, and believing that he can never be mine,
These past four months have thought me a lot, and the most important lesson I learned is never to beg someone to love me, and that was my biggest mistake
I let my guard down, I did everything possible for Robert to look my way, I went as far as taking all sorts of humiliation just for him to see my heart, the purity of my love, and the sincere heart of mine…
But gone are those days when he made me pass through hell, gone are those days when I would when lick his feat just for him to blink at me
These days all my focus and care goes to my unborn child, not a grown-ass man who’s confused about life
But one thing is certainly for sure and that is…. I will return gloriously and I Marrisa will pay Robert back in his own coin, I will slowly snatch every single thing he cherishes away from him, I will make him see the hardest part of life
I will make him kneel on his feet and beg for mercy just like I did, I’ll make him lick my feet with his tongue, he will lick the ground I step my feet on and he will regret ever putting me through hell
At this point my fist is already coiled up in a balls, my teeth gritted together, and my breath erratic
I closed my eyes trying to calm down my nerves, but the sleepless night in the prison flashed through my mind
I snapped my eyes open, I can still remember how I was forced to work under the rain during my early pregnancy
I go days without food, hunger dealt with me and my baby. I fainted countless times and still wake up with an empty stomach, and all that happened because of Robert
I felt wetness on my cheeks and touched it to see its tears, I brought my hand to my cheek wiping it off immediately
I’ve promised myself never to cry because of Robert, never will I shed tears for that animal
I kept on sniffing even though I try to act like everything is fine, the painful memories I had with Robert still can’t escape my thought
God was good to me, at the beginning he gave me the signs at the beginning I saw the signs but I ignored them, I thought is something I could handle, something I could deal with, but I was wrong
I couldn’t deal with it, and when I found out Rose was pregnant for him I was broken, how can another woman be pregnant for my husband, I couldn’t take it at first I came back to see if we could reunite and start all over but I found out there’s no place for me anymore both in his house and his life
I took the bold step, I never imagined that one day I would pick up a pen and sign the divorce paper of the man of my dreams, but seeing Rose with a positive pregnancy test, I know it’s finished. I know it’s time for me to leave, cause there’s nothing left for me anymore….
Not his heart, not his life, and most especially not his woman.
It’s been four months and finally, I’m getting my life back, slowly picking up the broken pieces of myself and fixing them back together
I know I cannot look good in a broken mirror, I’ve been broken so many times but this time I know my child can never break my heart so I’m focusing and channeling all my love and affection to my unborn child
“My dear…..” I heard a voice
“Mum….” I called as Mrs. Kathrine walked into the room,
I sat up on the bed
“Good morning mum”
“How was your night?” She smiled sitting beside me on the bed,
“My night was fine and yours?”
“I slept well my dear, you know we will be leaving early for the hospital?”
“Yes mum” I smiled
“So try and get ready, and come down for breakfast”
“Is it morning?” I asked in surprise looking out through the window, I was surprised to see the morning sun coming out already
“Don’t tell me you don’t know it’s morning”
“I swear mum I didn’t know I thought I still have time to sleep” I pointed my lips and we both burst out laughing
“Alright dear come on get ready, I’m in the kitchen”
“Okay mum, I’ll be out soon”
“You better be” She smile glancing at my tummy before leaving
I look down at my tummy and smiled caressing it lovingly
“Today mum is going to see what you look like, I’m excited and nervous too but I think I’m more excited” I smile……
I stood up from the bed and stripped off all my clothes before walking inside the bathroom. I picked up my brush and started writing my teeth. After which I stood under the shower, I turned it on and allowed the water to splash all over my body, cooling every path of me.
Minutes later I was done bathing, I stepped out of the shower and wrap a towel around my body,
I came out and dried my body after which I also dried my hair with the hand drier, I brushed my hair and walked to the closet I settled for a red gown and flat shoes since I can’t walk on heels cause of my pregnancy
I took some money and left my room, I walk into the to see that food is ready,
”Wow…..” My mouth validated as the fresh aroma of pasta engulfed my nose,
I took my seat immediately and without warning, I started devouring the food in hunger not caring if Mrs. Kathrine is here or not
I was suddenly hungry and the more I eat, the more hungry I become, the next second I looked at my plate to see it’s now empty, I felt like crying cause I’m still very much hungry
“What…. when did you…..?” I look up and see Mrs. Kathrine’s mouth hung open in shock,
“I want more…….” I pouted, tears fighting to drip down my cheeks
“Fine fine I’ll get you more” Mrs. Kathrine muttered, she dropped the cup of juice she was holding and took my plate rushing back into the kitchen
But suddenly I lost my appetite and didn’t feel like eating anymore. She came back with another plate of pasta and dropped it in front of me…
“I’m sorry Mrs. Kathrine, but I’m no longer ” I pouted
“It’s okay dear I understand I’ll eat it” She muttered taking a seat and pushing the food to her side.
Hours later
We left the house and boarded an Uber which took us to the nearest hospital which Mrs. Kathrine recommended as one of the best and right now, we’re sitting in the waiting room waiting for my turn so we could go inside
“Who’s Miss Marrisa Bonifacio?” A nurse came out asking
“It’s me” I raised my hand indicating myself
“You can go in with your husband it’s your turn” She muttered walking in
I turned to Mr. s Kathrine and made to take her hand but she pulled back
“I’m not your real mother”
I sighed
“Come on mum it doesn’t matter, right now your like a mother to me and my child will be happy if you come inside with me”
“Alright dear thank you so much”
“Come on mum, it’s nothing”
I took her hand and we both walked into the doctor’s office,
“Good Morning doctor”
“How are you doing young mother”
“Awesome doctor”
Please you two should seat down” The female doctor gestured toward a seat for us,
“So how is your baby?”
“Doing fine ” I smile
The doctor lectured me on so many things about pregnancy and finally it’s time for me to see my baby
The doctor made me lay down on a side bed and he brought a stethoscope to my stomach
“Are you ready to see your baby?” She asked with a face filled with smiles
I look at Mrs. Kathrine and she nodded her head at me
“Yes…..” I said to the doctor, my heart was beating so fast, I was nervous and excited
“Here look at the screen” The doctor urged, smiles crept to my lips when I saw my baby’s hand but then I saw another hand and another one
I turned to the doctor whose face was radiating with smiles
“Doctor, why are there so many hands?” I asked in confusion
“Exactly that’s what I wanted to ask too Mr. s Kathrine added”
“That’s because you’re carrying triplets”
“Triplets…!” I and Mrs Katherine screamed at the same time
