"Blood is dripping from your nose!" Helen screamed and pointed at her best friend's nose and jumped in fear, "What is happening to you?"
"Oh, that? It's as a result of my blood pressure. I think it has increased again." Her best friend said and wiped the blood away with the back of her hand. Helen rushed to get her best friend's blood pressure suppressing drugs. She dashed into the kitchen, got a glass cup of water and ran to her. Her best friend swallowed the drugs and gulped down the water. Helen sat beside her and made her best friend lay her head on her laps, rubbing her hair and tummy at intervals. "So high blood pressure can cause nose bleeding? I never heard of that." "The thing is, nose bleeding isn't really a symptom of high blood pressure." She explained."But when you were bleeding from the nose, you told me to get you your blood pressure suppressing drugs that your blood pressure has increased. I don't understand what you are saying." HelenDespite the pain on Helen's face, she smiled weakly, she had already made up her mind since she watched a short video on deaths of mother or children during childbirth that made her believe it was impossible for a first time mother to give birth to her babies alive without one of them sacrificing her life for the other. It was a creepy video that affect one's psychological thinking, she knew she was not supposed to watch the video that day but she watched it out of curiosity. She was happy when she saw Helen, she was more happy that Helen would be there to witness her death, her final welfare and she would take care of her children and be a good wife to her husband.When the doctor saw that she was happy at the arrival of her best friend, they tried again to operate on her but they had to check the level of her blood pressure before doing anything on her. They brought a sphygmomanometer to check her blood pressure if it was okay to perform the operation or not. When there checked
Helen's husband kept shaking his wife vigorously hoping she will talk to him."Sir please stop it. it's of no use, she is already dead." The doctor told him and signed, he felt sorry for him. Helen stopped wailing and looked at her best friend's husband, she remembered what her best friend told her about marrying her husband, she imagined how it will be like being his wife. Many thoughts ran through her mind. What is he doesn't like me? She thought and frowned, what if he hated me? What if he doesn't he sends me away without giving me his children children? What would I tell my best friend? What uf my best friend's spirit haunt me? What if her spirit kill me? A terrified look flashed through her face, she imagined being his wife. Though she would love to grant her late best friend's last wish but she wasn't comfortable with the idea. She shrugged her shoulders, she couldn't imagine, she will accept to marry a man she doesn't love? Or even have a crush on? That's weird! &nbs
It was the worst day ever for Helen, it was a day she would never forget. She couldn't walk nor speak, she just sat, staring at the space weakly. She felt paralysed, she couldn't do anything, all she did was to cry, she cried her eyes out. It was indeed the worst day of my life, to lose two people she cared about. It was a sorrowful day."Madam please leave." A male voice brought her back from her wonderland, she just stared at him, too weak to reply, she ignored him and kept staring at the space, "Ma'am, we need you to leave, please. You have to leave, you are not allowed when the operation is going on." He explained but he didn't get any response than her cold teary eyes staring at her. She was soaked in tears. When the nurse saw that he was talking to a statue because she wasn't responding, he had to carry her outside the room, to the waiting room. She didn't object, she just hung on him like a lost child, her mind had wandered far."Ma'am, sorry about your loss. We wil
Helen wiped the tears and stated at the babies in the cot, it was a boy and a girl. The boy had green eyes while there was nothing special about the girl but they were very beautiful and looked like Helen and her husband. Finally, she was happy wasn't going to marry out of pity. She would marry whom she loved and take care of the twins with the last drop of his blood. She hoped her future husband will love her and accept her and the twins. She carried the twins and played with them a little, they looked hungry, they wanted breast milk, they wanted to be breastfed with the first milk from their mother's breast, colostrum but they were bottle-fed . The nurse attended to the twins, she bottle-fed them each. Suddenly, there was strong wind everywhere in the ward, it surrounded Helen and the twins. Helen got scared, she knew it was her best friend and her husband's ghost that surrounded them. She froze for sometime, she wanted to run out of fear but her legs seemed to be glued to the flo
Helen's mom was shocked to the bones the way her daughter spoke to her nonchalantly, "So you are saying you are tired and I should not bother you right?""Mom, don't get me wrong. Am tired like I said and am not in the mood.""Wow." Her mother clapped, "So you have the guts to tell me I was using bedroom voice and I didn't shout to call your name, didn't you hear when I called or were you deaf? Do you need to see an ear doctor? I know what to do. Next time,maybe I will use loud speaker when I talk to you because you are just pissing me off right now and..." She was speechless, she just looked at Helen and shook her head, "I don't know why am arguing with you, am wasting my time." She hissed, "I don't have your time. Anyway, where is Helen and why has her husband not arrived yet? Didn't he know that his wife just put to bed? And he need to leave whatever stupid work in his office to attend to his wife? Can't he ask for permission from his boss and come here right away?"&n

"Oh my God. I can't believe this." She cried, "So you mean this beautiful twins are now orphans? Life isn't fair to them. Was that why your mood changed that you've been behaving strange all day?" She hugged her daughter, "Oh Helen, am sorry for your loss Helen. It won't be easy for you to get over her. Take heart dear, be strong. At least she wasn't totally forgotten, she left children behind, you will transfer the love you had for her to get children. Am so sorry."The rest of the day was sorrowful. When Helen had signed all the necessary documents for her to adopt the twins, she and her mother took the twins home to cater for them. The shock of losing her best friend, her only sister from another mother was much on her, the thought of losing her best friend changes her mood, she couldn't get over her, it took her years to recover from the shock. It was a very painful memory and it hurt her badly.Helen was deeply pained. She kept on wailing and throwing things that co
Helen's husband looked at her sternly, "And how sure are you that I can't win you in the case?""Look at this good-for-nothing man, you want to hire a good lawyer to defend the case and spend alot of money to take care of the kids but you can't use that same money to take care of your children, feed them, educate them and clothe them properly, how unreasonable you are. Let me burst your bubbles, you can't even win the case against me because you are basically useless. If a child stays with you, she will be useless, poor, a nuisance and everything bad for the rest of her life. The court will understand me because I want a bright future for my children and am ready to give what it takes to see my kids make it in life but you don't even care about them. Let me ask you something, when lady have you bought them clothes,? Or undies? Or sanitary pads? When lady did you pay their fees? Do you even care if they go to school at all? This week, you only bought snacks for them, don't t
