Chapter 55 (BEYOND IMAGINATION)

“My diary has got in to a wrong hand.” She exhaled deeply. “I have to get it back.” She turned to the side where the Quarters was and clenched her fist. “I was so stupid to have let her in to my room.” She hit her hand on her thigh.

The driver came with the car and she entered before he could come down to open the door for her.

Some minutes later, Emily came down the stairs to go find something to eat in the kitchen. She saw Evelyn’s phone ringing on the table. At first, she wanted to ignore it but something pushed her to answer the phone.

“Evelyn, your test result is out and it’s positive!” said a female voice at the other end. Emily wondered what result that was. “What result?” she asked and the other woman scoffed. “Your pregnancy result,” she said worriedly. “Hello! Hello!” Emily didn’t answer again. She was so shocked.

She cut the call and dropped the phone on the table.

“Oh my God!” she exclaimed. “How could this be…” She hurried back inside her room. “How could this woman do this to herself. Pregnant at her age? I can’t believe this. She should have get married after her husband died instead of sleeping around. I wonder who the father is.” She shook her head and sighed deeply.

“The things this woman do are beyond my imagination.” She sat down on the sofa pondering on what had just happened.

Evelyn arrived at her friend’s house, she hurried inside and met her friend pacing round the living room.

“The result?” she asked her. “What result? I’ve already told you about it. Isn’t that why you are here?” she asked Evelyn. “I came to receive the result since you haven’t call me like you promised.” She said sitting down on the sofa.

“What do you mean, I called you few minutes ago.” Her friend was surprised. “That wasn’t me, maybe you called someone else,” Evelyn sighed. “No, it was you. Look.” She showed her the call log.

“Wait what! Who answered the phone?” Evelyn asked. “I don’t know, but someone answered the phone. And I told the person about the test result.”

“Please stop this if you are joking,” Evelyn pleaded. “I’m not.” Her friend said worriedly. “What have you done? I left my phone on the table in the living room. Oh my God, I’m doomed! Not again.” Evelyn held her head in her hands.

“What are you going to do now, what if it was your Mum that answered the call?” Her friend sat beside her. “Oh my God!”

“What are you going to do now? What are you going to do about the pregnancy? You know you can’t keep this.” Her friend pointed to her tummy. “I don’t even know, I’m confused right now. How did this even happened? I use protection all the time.”

“It failed, protection is not 100% Guaranteed. I told you, I warned you to limit sleeping with men. I advised you to get married 20 years ago when you started this but you refused to listen to me. Now see what you’ve caused for yourself.”

“I know what to do.” Evelyn sat upright. “What are you going to do?” she asked. “I’ll go for MTP.” She gasped. “MTP, are you out of your mind!”

“No I’m not.” She stood up. “This is the only possible way for me to get rid of this. I can’t keep it, I have kids that are grown ups.”

“Are you sure about this?” Her friend was worried. “Yes, I have no regret. You’ll be the one to do it, you are a gynecologist. I’ll call you on the phone later to decide the day,” she said.

Evelyn left the house and returned back home. Her phone was still where she kept it and she picked it up. She went to her room wondering who could have answered the call.

“I just hope it’s not Emily.” She sighed, she closed the door and threw the phone on the bed. “I hope and pray it’s not her. If it’s my Mum, there’s no problem but if it’s Emily, there’s a very big problem.”

After having thought for an hour, Evelyn decide she would leave the house to go stay with her friend for a week so that no one would notice she removed a pregnancy. She gave a call to her friend and told her she would he going over there the next day.

“It will be easy to lie to Mum and Harry.” She smiled and left her room. She went into Harry’s room but he wasn’t there. As she was going to her Mum’s room, she heard their voices in the living room.

Emily was with them too, she was sitting beside Grandma with Jeff on her legs. Evelyn scoffed, she sat beside Harry and he wrapped his arms on her shoulder.

“Mum, Harry. I’ll be traveling tomorrow,” she said looking at Emily to see if she would react in anyway but she kept playing with Jeff without raising up her head.

“Where are you going to, Mum?” Harry asked. “We are going for a friend’s daughter’s wedding and we’ll spend a week there.” She lied. “Which of your friends?” Grandma asked.

“It’s uhm…” Evelyn has only one friend who lives in another city. “Bella,” she said. “Bella, and who would be going with you?” Grandma asked again. “With Hanna and Joey.”

“I thought I told you to stop being friends with Joey. Isn’t she the gynecologist among you? The one that sleeps around with men.”

“Oh come on Mum, we are grown ups now. Joey isn’t that way again and that was years ago when I was still in my teenage years,” she sighed. “Who knows. You always hang out with that girl these days. I hope it’s well.”
