Disaster strikes

Few minutes later, Lilian now settles down. She drags the old box under her bed, opens it but unfortunately not a single penny is in it. All the money saved in the last month has been used up. On second thought, she plans to go and see a friend if she could lend her some money.

As she walked down the alley, at a dark corner there were a group of local thugs smoking . She walks past there quickly since there was no around apart from the thugs. Unfortunately, it didn't go as planned. As she takes about five steps from them, one of the thugs walks up to her. Hey pretty lady were you sent by the heavens to serve us, fear flushes Lilian face but she stays calm. She looks around to see if there is anyone but no one was around. The thug grabs her hand and drags her to were his friends were.

They push her to the ground and start surrounding her, laughing at her fearful looks. Lilian starts to plead but no one minds her.

Few hours later, Lilian is seen on the ground, all her clothes torn showing how rough the thugs are. With tears and snots all over her face she struggles to stand up, gathers the tattered remains of her remaining clothes, slowly she makes her way back home.

A month later, Lilian having suffered that ordeal is so traumatized that since that day she hasn't stepped out of her house.

Her boss has been calling so today she prepares for work. Reaching her workplace, she realizes everyone is giving her strange looks. She changes to her work clothes and goes to her post. A colleague then walks up to her, boss wants you to see him in his office. Lilian then goes to the office to see Mr Mathias,only for him to hand her a sack letter, after, walks her out of his office. No one ask her why she didn't come to work, no one cares, so she felt. She changes back to her normal clothes and walkes out of the cafe.

Walking by the road, a strong purgent smell hits her on the face which causes her to feel nauseous. She rans to the side of the road, and vomits till she feels okay. All of a sudden it dawns on her that of late she sleeps a lot, feels dizzy but she just thought it was normal. Praying it's not what she is thinking it is, she rushes to the nearest pharmacy and gets pregnancy test kits. On reaching home she rushes to the washroom to do the test, but, after minutes of pacing around the room it was time to check. To her utmost dismay, there are two visible lines which didn't disappear after some minutes showing she was pregnant. She drops to the ground, tears dropping from her face, the shock having to conceive a child who is the outcome of rape. What and how is she going to take care of this baby ?; since she just lost her job . Besides where she is living is not conducive for her and the unborn child, all these thoughts made Lilian feel terrible.

Unluckily for her, she had a weak womb, and if she had an abortion she may not be able to have a child again so she has to keep the baby.
