「「A R I A 」」

I unsteadily sat down on chair, my eyes filled with tears. I don't know why this happened to me. "You are indeed three weeks pregnant," Aunty Sola said looking distressed. "The hospital's gynecologist, a very good friend of mine is coming to check on you."

"Everything will be fine Aria, don't worry."

After an hour later, Lola and I made our way back to the apartment, the gynecologist said she is going to run some more tests and later today she will send it to my email address. That reminds me, I haven't been using my phone ever since I started feeling sick.

"So what do you think we should do?" Lola asked, as the traffic light went red.

"Well, we will have to tell my mom when I see her tomorrow."

She nodded, and we continued chatting about random things before we finally got home.

Once we got back home, I went into the bathroom again, wanting to relax myself with a soothing bath. My mind went blank, I didn't know how to feel at all, so I turned the music on and let my mind drift away with it.

By the time I was finished in the bathroom, I wouldn't say I was relaxed because I still felt uneasy. I needed to cry.

The house seemed awfully quiet to me, so I decided to peep into the living room, but Lola wasn't there. "Lola! Where are you?" I walked into her room and found a note on her bed, it read:

I'll be back soon, we need to get more groceries. And I'll be stopping by at your favorite restaurant to buy some food for you. Take care. -Lola.

Cousin's like this are the best too bad I don't deserve any of this. I walked back into my bedroom, I could already feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. I'm such a disappointment.

"I can't be pregnant dammit! How in God's name will I face my parents? Who is the father of my child?" I yelled at myself, clutching unto my stomach. "It's best I end my good for nothing life, I haven't even accomplished my goals in life-"

The bedroom door opened, revealing Bisola, my stepmother, she looked pale. I wasn't surprised about how she got in, because after all she is the queen.

She walked closer, her eyes not leaving mine. I sat still there on the floor
and with a swift move she gave a hard stinging slap, I still didn't move. I felt nothing but hate towards myself. . . I couldn't blame her, I am a disgrace.

"Is this what we raised you to become?" Bisola asked, with raw loathe in her tone. "T-to become some filthy harlot, hm? Oya now, be a harlot. Just know that you are getting married, for I will not let you bring disgrace to the family."

With one more look at me, she hissed and walked out leaving me by myself. As I heard the front door shut, I screamed out in pain, in anger, and in sadness. Alone. I will always be alone, no one ever cares really! Not even my mom, had she waited to hear me out. . . I cried myself into darkness.

"Ariana! Wake up," I opened my eyes trying to know what was happening.

"D-daddy?" I croaked out, meeting my fathers eyes. I carefully sat up, Lola and my brother were also here.

"Daddy I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I-I don't know what happened, but I promise you I didn't do anything, it's all-"

"My dear hush, Lola has explained everything to me. We came as soon as we heard the news from doctor Sola. We are here for you, but I'm afraid that I can't help you with your mom, she has already made up her mind."

I let out a sign, "I don't know what to do. I guess I'm getting married daddy."

I got up, still talking to my family members, as we walked into the dining room. "Thank you for getting me my favorite dish!"

Lola chuckled, "your welcome. Sir, please take a sit, there is enough for everyone."

I guess all I could do now was to pray to God, and try to stay positive, if not my baby won't have a happy life.
