Chapter 3 3

She looked around in fear while calming her skipping heart then bent down carefully and kept the stick away before dragging the blood inside creating trails of blood.

She started panicking before she calmed down and pressed her ear to his chest and his heart was beating.

She jogged to the kitchen and got a wet rag then cleaned the trail of blood.

Cynthia then realized that her mom was still inside, she hurriedly rushed inside to meet her mom in something so smelly and more was still coming out of her mouth.

She covered her nose in disgust.

Her mom kept on vomiting more disgusting things from her mouth and some of them were lumps of noodles, some were green

To make it worse, it smelt so bad that Cynthia was also about to vomit.

" What's wrong mom?"She asked in a small voice.

" Help me get to the toilet", she said with her face up staring at the ceiling

She gently helped her up and got her to the toilet where she turned on the water and poured it on her face.

She also prepared a hot bath for her.

" Mom soak in.", She said caringly.

She walked out of the bathroom without looking back, removed the bedsheets because it was stinky and then used it to pack the vomit on the floor.

She also got a mop and disinfectant then everywhere finally smelt nice.

"Woah!", She said amazed while wiping the sweat from face as she looked around the clean room.

She decided to go to the bathroom but was met with her snoring lightly mother, she giggled at that sight, it was too loud so she woke up.

Cecilia stared at her beautiful daughter before saying slowly, " Go find my purse and take some stash then go to the pharmacy to buy me some pregnant kit"

She nodded slowly.

She thought childishly," Mom thinks she pregnant...so if it's true then I'm about to have a sibling..."

She smiled cutely before screaming lightly.

She ran out of the house, smiled at literally everyone she saw

The boys playing football...the men gambling and smoking...the women talking about their husbands...the girls playing with their dolls.

Everyone had different nasty comments but it wipe off that smile from her face.

She hopped like a bunny until she reached the pharmacy

She looked at it then walked in slowly inside.

She looked at the man on the counter then the various medicines as she said to herself," I want to be a doctor."

She was drawn to the television as a man was talking about scholarships for a very popular school.

The man on the counter quickly noted down the number on the television before coughing lightly to get her attention.

She turned towards him then said in a small voice, " I want some pregnancy kit"

He looked at her with wide eyes and shaky hands before turning back to look for it but was interrupted when his wife came in.

She hissed at Cynthia then went further to shush her away.

Her husband said, " What are you doing? That's a customer."

And she replied, " How can our customer be a filthy prostitute's child. Get out of here, you bastard"

Pak!

The man slapped her in rage.

" You, y-you", He said, stammering and his fingers pointing at her.

She ran away in tears.

The man shook his head in disappointment before giving the kit to her but asked, " little girl, what do you need it for?"

Her legs drew lines on the ground while she scratched her wet palms deciding if she should talk or not

"Eerm.."

Her eyes darted from one place to another.

The man didn't look like the judging type so she said, " Well, my mom has been vomiting so she asked for a pregnancy kit"

"Ohhhhhhh", he said in realization.

She was about to go out when she was stopped by him again as he handed her a headache and medicine to stop vomiting.

She smiled then waved at him happily before running off

Right when she left, a man that had the same face as hers appeared on the TV.

He looked really important as he smiled..

Cynthia excitedly walked into the house but was met with her angry mom

She roared, " What kept you so long this useless child?"

Tears filled her eyes before she said slowly, " M-mo-mom"

Pak!

"What a waste of time!"She said in anger.

She snatched the packets from her

Bam!

She banged the door.

" Ahhhhh", Cynthia yelled in tears while pulling and dragging her hair then she rolled on the floor in a dramatic manner.

" Shut the fuck up!", Cynthia's mother yelled in annoyance.

She peed in a cup as she dipped the kit into it then she screamed, " I'm pregnant!!"

Cynthia jumped up from the ground when she heard that before barging into the room.

" You are pregnant?? Really??", Cynthia asked in excitement buh was ignored by Cecilia.

She glared at her stupid daughter in annoyance.

" Oh no! Who did I have sex with without some protection?? Another liability?"

The woman shook her head severally in denial

" No-no-no- it can't be!", She said severally.

Cynthia looked confused as she followed her about and asked, " What can't be mom?"

Cecilia resisted the urge to hit her as she continued searching around for something

" Where the fuck is it? Where? Where did I keep it?"

" Mom! Mom! Is it a boy or girl?", Cynthia asked again.

Pak!

Pak!

Cecilia slapped her on her cheeks so hard it shined bright red

She held her cheeks shocked, stubborn tears started pouring as she asked sadly, " Why do you hate me so much mom? Why??"

Cecilia had stubbornly turned deaf ears to her cry.

She threw her big box to another side as she revealed a huge chest with a lock.

Her hand moved to her neck where there was a necklace..she unlocked it and Cynthia held her mouth in amazement from the amount of money in it.

Cecilia just searched until she found a note book.

"-/–/–/", she read out the date

"It's him!"
