RENAISSANCE

I sat quietly on the bed, mopping around with my eyes as if I was looking for a fault of some sort around the room, my thoughts clouded me that I forgot where I was.﻿ 


What's going on Joanne? I lost you for a minute. 


Oh! Am fine, just cut out from the moment. 


 She's down stairs, I left her there to come pack my things. 


 OK, she's left, we have spoken already, I called her before coming. 


 She said she has been shouting your name but to no avail. 


Oh!! Just feeling famished and tired as well. 


Desmond starred at me for a moment without a blink, he checked my hand and eyes with much curiosity, after which he went down stairs or so and later came back with a test strands. 


 Joanne, I know you have doubt on your side, but I think you are pregnant. I don't want you to feel as if I am lying to you, that was why I brought this test tubes for you to go check for yourself 


I felt my breath drifting away, my tongue went dry, I felt the need of drinking a glass of water at that moment. 


I took the test tube from him, feeling cold as I walked to the bathroom to get tested. 


I was so terrified that my urine was drifting away as if the wind was directing it, I tried pushing hard for it to get through the cap, after a little struggle it stocked. 


I waited for it to read, it was a big shock for me when I bent down to check the result. 


What! Pregnant? My whole life revolved around me at that moment. The thought of my virginity, my failures in school, my divorce and now am pregnant came rolling down my memory. 


Pondering over everything at that point, just like a glimpse. 


Joanne!!! Joanne!! Are you okay, Despond cut me up with his masculine voice. Have you done the test? Am sure you know the result, please just relax a little when you are less worried we would talk about your plans and what next. He said that and left immediately without waiting for my response. 


Indeed I needed to take a quick nap but the hunger in me refused it, I kept thinking on what to do next. Should I get rid of it? Or keep it? I don't even have a job? How will I explain this to my parents, how will I take care of this baby. All the thoughts where flashing through my brain, making me feel sick but I swayed all down. 


At some point I took a deep breathe and said to myself, " I will be fine". Mmmmm, what a relieve. 


I dashes out from the room and went downstairs to discuss with Desmond, he wasseriously waiting for me. Immediately he saw me coming down, he ran towards me, grip me with much passion and said to me. 


I know you are feeling funny and confuses right now, but bear this in mind that I do care about you, a lot. 


Yeah, ever since Edwin introduced you to me, . 


How so, please lets discuss that later, for now I just want to go and inform my parents about the new development, so my in laws will know what to do. 


Desmond quickly rushed out with a T- shirt on and a Jean trouser, we both walked down to his car for a ride.
