The nurses explained to Happiness that Gift had done an incomplete abortion and now she needs an evacuation to clear off the remaining particles of baby in her and that she also need to be transfused with blood fast if not she would die. Happiness was confused, she didn’t know what to do?

Sister Gift was staying alone like her and she didn’t really know the girl so well to know her family, she only knew her from the church. Confused on what to do she asked the nurses to go ahead and do whatever it is they needed to do to save her life, but they told her she needed to drop a deposit of fifty thousand naira.

Happiness didn’t have that kind of money on her, she wanted to ask Gift who was responsible for her pregnancy but Gift was already unconscious. She had no one to run to so she made up her mind to go to pastor King and explain everything to them. Somehow she felt Gift won’t be happy with this hut she didn’t have any other option and so she took a bike and went straight to church.

When she arrived church she asked the gateman if pastor was around and he nodded yes. She quickly ran into the office. She saw pastor King and Chris sitted and chatting. She quickly fell on the ground crying.

King: Sister Happy, what is wrong? Why are you crying?

Happiness: Pastor please you need to come with me fast. Please

Chris: young lady calm down and talk to us. Come with you, where?

Happiness: pastor, it is sister Gift, she is dying and I can’t help her by myself, please you need to come with me right now. I dropped her at the hospital but the nurses won’t attend to her, please I have no other person to call.

Pastor Chris and King quickly stood up and they carried Happiness. They all drove in pastor Kings car straight to the hospital.

When they arrived, the nurse explained everything to the pastors. And when she was through, Pastor King asked them to go ahead and save the girl’s life while he pays the deposit money at the counter.

Pastor Chris took Happiness aside and asked details about Gift and also on who was responsible for her pregnancy, but Happy had no idea and explained to pastor Chris how she met Gift along the road.

After waiting for a while the pastors left but instructed Happiness to stay by Gift until she becomes conscious and she should update them for developments. And Pastor Chris gave his phone number to Sister Happiness.

********************************

It took 4hours before Gift finally opened her eyes. She looked around wondering how she got to the hospital. Happiness had to explain everything to her.

Gift: so you mean pastors are aware that I did an abortion?

Happiness: I’m sorry Sister Gift, I didn’t know who to meet, I didn’t know where else to turn to and I didnt’ have that kind of money on me.

Gift: oh shit! What have you done? You shouldn’t have gone to them. Oh oh, what have you done now?

Happiness: I’m sorry but I couldn’t let you die and I didn’t have the money and I had nobody to go to. I don’t know your family members….

Gift: You would have gone to meet Chuks na, oh oh oh….

The mention of Chuks on Happy’s ears sounded like a slap on her.

Happiness: Wait! Did I hear you mention chuks? I mean which chuks?

Gift quickly realized herself.

Gift: forget it don’t worry, let me bother about getting out of this mess you just caused.

Happiness: Gift! I will not forget it. Which Chuks are you talking about? which chuks would I have gone to?

Gift: what is all these questions na? Am I under interrogations? I said forget it shoo.

She shouted at Happiness. Who became quiet thinking to herself. ”I hope it is not the same Chuks, I hope Gift didn’t get pregnant for the same Chuks she was pregnant for?

Happiness kept pacing up and down in the hospital. She was in a hot mess, pregnant and rejected and here she was with another sister who had probably just done an abortion for the same guy. The event of the day began to play in her head.

”Why did she had to see Gift just some few metres away from Chuks’s house. And why would Gift say she would have called Chuks instead of the pastors?” Could it be the same Chuks? She has to find out”

And so she sat close to Gift.

Happiness: Listen Gift, I have called Pastor Chris and I know in no moment he and Pastor King will be here, they will also want to know who is responsible for your pregnancy, because they previously asked me and I couldn’t give them the answer and you and I know that you cannot lie to a man of God. So if there is any thing you can tell me, start telling me now so that we can plan together. I can assure you that I am trustworthy. And I also want to know why you said I should have gone to Chuks. Which of the Chuks were you referring to? Is he someone I know?

Gift kept quiet and reluctant to talk not until Happiness added.

Happiness: Is it the church Chuks? Choir master?

Gift dropped her head when Happiness said it. And Happiness jumped up hitting the table.

”I knew it, I knew he was the one. Immediately you said I would have gone to Chuks I knew he was the one. That bastard, that liar, that devil……”

Gift: Stop it Sister Happy, stop talking like that as if he is a monster.

Happiness: of course he is a monster. See what he did to you. He is a monster.

Gift: But he didn’t do this to me, he didn’t ask me to go for an abortion. He loves me and he wants to marry me, it is just that this is not the right time and this pregnancy is only going to dent his image. That’s why I decided on my own to abort it.

Happiness: Just look at yourself. Did you tell him you were pregnant?

Gift: Yes I did

Happiness: And what did he say to you?

Gift: Nothing. He cried and begged me not to disgrace him, that he is ready to marry me but this is not just the right time. I felt pity for him, I understood him and because I love him I decided to do this on my own.

Happiness: And did you tell him what you decided to do?

Gift: yes I told him.

Happiness: and?

Gift: nothing, he didn’t say anything.

Happiness: that guy is the devil I know what I am saying…..

Just then Pastor King and Chris walked in.

Happiness: pastor welcome.

King: Hey Gift, I’m glad you are awake. How are you feeling?

Gift: I’m better now sir, though I’m still feeling very weak.

Chris: Sorry dear, you will be fine. I am glad to see that you are better. (To Happiness) thank you dear for taking care of her. Have the two of you eaten anything?

Both girls: No Sir.

King: It is okay. Happy you will go with us so that we can get something for you girls to eat. Meanwhile Gift, you know we have a lot to talk about when you are stronger right?

Gift: yes sir.

King: That’s alright, we will see the doctor and then Happy you will follow us okay?

Happy : yes sir.

The pastors left the room to the doctors office. Happiness turned and faced Gift.

Happiness : hope you know you won’t lie to pastor. You can’t do that. Shay you know.

Gift put her head in her hand crying!
