Chapter 5 : Part 05

Chapter 5 : Part 05

I'm thinking. I realize that it's been at least two months since I bled. When I tell him about it, he looks at me amusedly.

Director: Well, maybe it's because a little being is already growing in your womb. But these dizziness can be just signs of fatigue or hide something else. But let's not rush. I expect you tomorrow morning at the clinic for complete examinations.

Pregnant?? Oh my God....

That's it, I did the exams. I am pregnant. Honestly I don't know if I should frolic with joy or collapse on my bed to cry my heart out. It's true, I'm very happy to carry this child, the fruit of love. But it's so badly timed, all this emotional mess caused by my husband's unfounded accusations, his probable affair with Victoria, all at the same time... It's not ideal for my pregnancy. But God gave me this great chance and I rejoice. I will soon be a mother!

It's been two days now. Two long days since my husband left. Gone to join Victoria! Hey Lord what have I done? I don't even know how to react.

This morning, I am quietly lying on the sofa thinking about my life. Must say that I neglect myself a little since the other dramatic episode; I no longer have my head for anything. I have to find a solution, I have to understand what is happening.

The door to the living room opens abruptly and surprised....Lawrence enters. He is completely scruffy, he wears faded and messy clothes. I had never seen him like that. He looks more upset than ever. Seeing him makes me even sadder all of a sudden.

Him: Are you still here? That's good. Things will go faster! Get dressed ma'am, we're going out. Don't ask me where we're going, you'll find out soon enough!

Me: (standing up in front of him, fists clenched) you're cheeky talking to me like that after what you did to me! You called me names, you hit me, and you left to join your bitch! You humiliated me Lawrence, when I did nothing!! You don't even...

His hand lands abruptly on my cheek and I fall onto the couch.

Him: Enough! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Are you cheating on me and have the nerve to yell at me? It's my fault. I gave a poor girl like you the chance to change her life. Ungrateful that you are! But today you're going to free my house, okay? I'm taking you to your mother. I informed him of our arrival; my mother is also there with her sister. I want to finish today!

I can not believe it! He summoned the family to further humiliate me.

Me: Is it because of Victoria that you do this to me? You want to send me back to settle down, don't you??

Lawrence: Even if it's the devil I want to bring, it's not your problem anymore. You are nothing to me anymore.

My God, I'm falling from my cloud... So Lawrence didn't love me. Those in whom I have placed my trust show me their true face today. I can't stop crying all the tears in my body But I'm pregnant! What should I do? If I refuse to go, he'll think I'm blaming myself for something when I'm innocent. I have nothing to hide anyway.

Him: Are you coming or not? That's all I have to do!

He comes and takes my arm to force me but I push him away. I am not his child.

So we take the road to my mother's house; this one is 1 hour from here. During the journey we do not look at each other once; I have no desire to talk to him and I think it's mutual.

Arrived there, my mother comes to welcome us and takes us into her modest living room and there, I see the famous guests: Lawrence's mother with her eternal witch look and her little sister and partner in crime, both fat and fat and ugly like a pig's behind They invade all the armchairs with their buttocks and their big bags of old bourgeoises. As soon as these two see me, they stare at me for a long time; I greet them but as usual they do not answer.

Mom Lawrence: Welcome my darling son. You took your time! I'm really starting to suffocate in this dump, sorry let's hurry. Ehhh look how she messed up my child, he looks confused! Tell me what she did to you my heart, so that I settle her account!

Even my mother is forced to sit on a chair.

Mom: Excuse me my children, the armchairs are occupied as you can see.... Sit here on the chairs.

Lawrence didn't even look at my mother and went to sit down, looking tight. I kiss my mother and I do the same.

Him: (in an arrogant tone) Good evening everyone. I'm not here to talk much. Mama Maggie, I'm here to bring your daughter back to you because I don't want her anymore. She did not respect the marriage commitments. She cheated on me with an associate of mine.

Everyone lets out a cry of astonishment.

Mom: Huh?? No, that's not possible! My daughter is not like that.

-Mom Lawrence: I knew! Hey my son I knew, I always warned you about this kind of woman didn't I??? This is what you have seen now. An upstart like that....

Him: Please mum let me finish....

He then unfolds his concert of accusation under the ahhhs and orrrs of everyone. Me, I just close my eyes trying not to care what comes out of his mouth A few tears escape my eyes but I don't make any noise, I have no reaction, just my eyes closed .

He tells them about the famous video before taking some of the edited photos out of his pocket and showing them to everyone.

Mom: I don't believe any of that! There must be an explanation, my daughter is not like that! Isn't it my darling? Say something.

I just open my eyes and stare at her without saying a word. From the look on her face, I know she understands me.

Mom Lawrence: See? She can't talk! She knows it's all true. So naughty as you are, you thought you were going to eat my son's money with your lover like that? You are discovered, prostitute!

Mom: Enough Madam Sufficient! No, but who do you think you are to talk to my daughter like that? At home more? You can swallow what your son says, I don't care! But insulting my daughter, that I will not allow! Besides, all get out of my house! Get out of here, liars there!

Mom Lawrence: Tchrum who wants to stay in your boiler there?? Pick up your dirty girl, we're leaving here! My sister is coming, we're leaving. My son, you made a good decision, let's go home.

One by one they get up to leave, swearing. Lawrence looks me in the eye for a few moments before walking out.

I burst into tears almost immediately. Mom comes to sit next to me and takes me in her arms.

Her: I don't know, you're innocent my darling, don't worry. For now you're gonna stay with me, okay? Cry my darling, cry now because when you're done, I can swear that none of them will be able to face the titan that you will become.

Me (crying): I'm pregnant mom....

What a tragic situation! What will become of poor Maggie?
