When she unwrapped them, she was surprised to see linens of different colours, they were of high quality one. A note came out of the linens,folded like a rose flower. At first when the manager was telling her about the gifts, she thought that maybe Paul had send her from Nigeria. She had planned on sending them back to Nigeria if he was the one, but she was totally wrong.
Without even reading the note, she already know who was the sender of those linen. Was none other than sammy, grey, black and jungle green. From the linen colour she already know that those was his favorite colours. 'It seems like you will never change your favourite colour, Sammy' She thought as she opened the note. She read the note then smiled to herself, she put the note in her bag and then left.
"Woow that's the first time I am seeing ma'am Ivana smiling genuinely. Did you see that smile?" Stacy asked no one in particular.
"Let's concentrate on what brought as here" Milka said.
When she arrived at the parking lot she called Charo who started the car so that she can find him. She entered the car then they left for the hospital. She knew very well that she had kept the doctor waiting for her. So at the back of her mind she was planing on cooking up the excuse.
Dr Masika was patiently waiting for her when she arrived.
"Doctor I am very sorrylook I was...." Ivana was cut off before she could finish.
"Don't worry , I do understand that you have started being lazy, now that you are in your third trimester." Dr Masika said.
"You are actually right."
"Lie there on the bed then move your blouse abit high so that your babies bump is well exposed."
Ivana did as she was told, then the doctor applied a cold gel on her before listening to the heartbeat of the baby through the telescope.
"Do you have twins genes in your family? " Dr Masika asked.
"I really don't know, because I was born alone without siblings and my cousin too, she is alone."
"Then you should ask your mother or Aunt to tell you if you ever had history of genes in your family tree." The doctor said nonchalantly.
Ivana smile bitterly then said," i am sorry doctor Masika my mother passed away and as you know my dad passed away too. So I am a happy orphan, don't apologise I am fine." Ivana said then pulled down her blouse as she sat upright on the bed.
Doctor Masika was embarassed as she was ready to apologise but Ivana told h not to. So he sighed then swallowed hard not knowing what to do. Ivana realized that a d decided to ask him.
"Dr, What do I have to do in these remaining months?" She asked politely.
"The results are showing the heartbeat of one of the baby is still week. So you need to take the vitamin supplements I gave you, I know they are not over yet. Eat more fruits or blended juice and also you need adequate rest. Don't work just wait until you have the babies you will resume whatever you are stressing yourself now." Dr Masika said as he avoided her eye contact.
"It's okay doctor I will do as you say, have a nice day. I guess the next visit will be labour?" Ivana asked as she stepped down from the bed.
"I hope so, bit if you feel any form of pain visit me quickly or call me" the doctor adviced.
"Thank you doctor have a nice day." Ivana said ready to walk out from the room.
"Miss Bombwe" the doctor called. Ivan aturned to look at him. She knew that he wanted to apologise. "I am sorry I didn't know that..."
"I understand bye," she said then left the room. She walked slowly to where the car was parked Charo stepped out to open the car for her but she refused then said.
"Charo kindly I want to exercise my legs you know my date to have a baby is almost." She said.
"What do you want me to do ma'am?" Charo asked politely.
"Can I drive back home, I don't want my legs to be lazy because I don't even take a walk nowdays." She said.
Charo moved to other seat but he was not sure of his decision so he asked her.
"Bu ma'am are you sure you want to drive back home? You know I have never seen you drive." Charo said.
Ivana sat on the driver's seat buckled her seatbelt then said," Don't worry Charo, I know how to drive it's just that my dad didn't want me to drive myself. You know how tycoons behaves, they behave like they own the whole world." She said then chuckled.
Charo was not satisfied with her answer, worry was written all over his face when Ivana started the car. But when Ivana started driving on the main highway, he started to feel abit comfortable.
"I know that you are worried Charo, but relax, actually I am driving abit slowly. I am not always like this. I guess one day I will join the racers." Ivana said while her eyes focused on the road.
"You are already driving faster yet you are talking as if you are slow." Charo said politely. Actually he was not used to someone sitting in front of the car with him. Especially someone else driving the car, now that his boss was the one driving he didn't know where to look at. He couldn't look in front on the road because he will keep on reminding Ivana about the road rules. He didn't want to sound disrespectful to his boss,so he decided to look sideways through the window.
Ivana was driving abit faster and Charo was surprised that despite her being pregnant she had the guards to drive as faster as that. They arrived home very faster and Charo sighed a relief when he saw that they arrived without anything bad happening to them.
