Chapter Six Awaited Advice

Bella was still over the fact that Jack did not believe she was carrying his child. She thought of aborting the pregnancy but it was going to be a terrible idea. Her mom was already happy and looking forward to seeing her deliver safely.

"Would you just sit there and think about your life, they are works to do and all you can do is mourn over your challenges or have you forgotten this is a workplace". Mira yelled at her when the crowd was already too much for her to handle herself. 

"Am sorry, just got a bit carried away in thoughts". She apologized quickly as she stood up quickly.

"You're always thinking. What's wrong?". Mira asked concerned.

"That would be later". Bella replied as she left to attend to the people waiting.

Although Bella was Mira's senior at work, she still respects the fact that she was older than her in age. 

"What are you always thinking of, why don't you share your troubles let me see if I can help". Mira said as they settled down after realizing the crowd of people was now less. 

"There's nothing you can do, the work has already been done, you can't change it. I just have to endure it". Bella replied as tears flowed down her eyes. 

"Come on, you don't have to hire it, I can help you out. And if you do not know this thinking has affected you a lot". Mira emotionally told her. 

"It's such a pain that my baby's father denied him. He rejected his own child claiming I was having outside affairs and wanted to cling to him with the lie of me being pregnant for him". Bella tears flowed more as she wiped them with the back of her palms. 

"You are pregnant?!!". Mira asked, so astonished and surprised as Bella nodded her head in a manner of saying yes.

"I thought it was so impossible for you to keep a pregnancy or was that some joke". She was so surprised that she was confused about what to say. 

"I know it's so impossible for the pregnancy to last but I need to let him know in case this one is a success". She replied as she finally lifted up her head.

"I think it's best you abort the pregnancy. The father of the child denied the pregnancy and you want to keep it?, for who, who would cater for your child?". Mira considerately asked her as she felt pity for her. 

"That's exactly what I would have done a long time ago, but my mum had asked me never to abort a pregnancy, it is so dangerous especially in my condition. I might lose every chance of bearing a child let alone a miscarriage". She knew Mira was right but she couldn't just abort the baby. She wanted to let her know that her mom was already aware but that would lead into another discussion which she was not ready for. 

"Then call him and tell him you want to abort the pregnancy. Just threaten him and he would do what you want. He would be forced to accept the child". Mira advised her. 

"That's not the point Mira, the fact here is that the pregnancy is complicated. I am not yet sure if it would be possible, don't you get it". She yelled, getting tired already.

"Just give it a try, don't be a fool and let men use you and run away".

 The last words of Mira really hurt Bella, she wished she could explain her relationship with Jack to her but it was of no use as she would end up mocking her for being a fool. 

She thought so hard and came to the conclusion that she was going to give in to Mira's idea.  She felt that if she threatened Lack that she wants to abort the pregnancy he might be forced to accept her child. 

"That's what i'm going to do, u would call Jack and threaten him. What does he actually takes me for a use and dump material". She said as she picked up her phone to call him. 

"Oh my God, why isn't he picking up his calls, I think I should try sending him a text he might respond". She quickly types a text over to Jack. 

"Please come over, there's something important I want to tell you. We really need to talk, it's important to try not to be reluctant". Her heart skipped immediately as she sent the text over to him. She was left with no option rather than to pray he reads the message and give in to it. 

She dropped the phone as she quickly rushed to assist Mira with the other customers which were already coming in as the resturant was already getting filled.

Bella's heart pondered when she saw the text that Jack had dropped.

"What is it that we can't discuss over the phone? You are interfering with my business hours. I think you will come over to my apartment later in the day". She was so scared of going back to Jack house she felt he could even kill her if she goes there or better still have his way on her and send her back without rendering a listen to what she had to tell him. 

****************

Bella stood at the door of Jack apartment, she lifted her hand to click on the door bell but dropped it as she was so nervous about how Jack would feel when she disclose her intention to him.

Her heart skipped harder when she noticed someone was about to open the door and she quickly clicked the door bell. 

"Who are you looking for". Nelly asked knowing fully well that he had not yet seen this face before. 

Bella was confused whether it was jack talking to her or someone else as they were so identical. 

"I be to visit Jack, he asked me to come over to his place". She stammered.

"Oh I see my brother now has a new flirt". Nelly teased her as he let her in. 

"Go straight to the point and so not beat around the bush". Jack said immediately as Bella stepped in without offering her a chair to sit.

"I Want to abort the pregnancy".
