Chapter 3 .

There was only one place for her to go which was her grandma's place. How was she going to inform the old woman that her wedding got canceled? Natalie thought as she rested her head on the headrest.

Some minutes later, she arrived at her grandma's place. Granma was surprise to see her because she too was getting ready to go to the wedding.

" what's wrong? Why are you here and why are you with your bag?" she asked her. Natalie sighed, she sat down on the couch and held her face in her palms. Grandma dropped the shoe in her hand on the floor and went to where she was sitting.

" Did something happen?" she wrapped her arms over Natalie's shoulder. Natalie lifted up her face filled with tears and rested her head on the woman's chest. " Granma, my wedding has been cancelled" she burst in to fresh tears after saying that.

It was as if a needle was pierced in to her heart. Granma sighed deeply and shook her head. When she thought her grandchild was finally getting away from that house for good. She has been so happy when Natalie told her she was getting married .

She thought her prayers were finally answered. But when she heard the family she would be marrying in to, her joy faded. She wondered if her grandchild would live happily with her husband. They were rich people and she knew her father was marrying her off to the family for his own selfish interest.

She looked at Natalie again and patted her back gently. " it's okay kid, do not cry. Grandma is here for you" she said as she patted her back. Natalie would have stopped crying when grandma said that but that wound was more than the ones she has had since childhood.

Now, her heart was shattered for love. She was sent away by the man who was her Dad and the man she had always looked forward to. Then the man she wanted to spend her entire life with too, she lost him just because she was so stupid.

" Grandma, this is my entire fault . if I hadn't followed Bosha to drink the wine, she wouldn't have drugged my drink" she cried.

" It's okay dear, do not cry over that. You should be happy now that you are no longer staying with them. Here, l'll give you the love you've lacked all those years of staying with them"

Grandma was happy that her grandchild was finally out of that house and she would be seeing her every day. When she was still with them, Natalie was never allowed to visit her grandma unless she sneaks out of the house or lied that she was going to the school.

After that day, Natalie stayed with her grandma. She had tried to move out from there to live alone but when she went to withdraw money from the bank, she found out her account was blocked.

No one has to tell her who was the mastermind behind that. Her step mum was surely behind it. That woman can go any extent to make her life difficult.

" I don't know why you want to move out f here, the house is so big to occupy more than four people.

There are three rooms in the house and a large living room too. Why do you want to move out?" Natalie chuckled. " Nothing, grandma. I just want to experience how it is to live alone"

" That isn't an excuse. I don't want you to think of leaving this house again. Understand?" Natalie nodded her head. How was she even going to move out when she didn't have any money to rent an apartment or to feed herself? She didn't even have a job or a business where she would get money from.

Natalie never thought of leaving the house again. She was still pained by what her stepsister did to her . she tried as much as she could to forget about what happened but it wouldn't stop coming to her head. Sometimes, she would sleep ad all she did at night was to cry.

She lost her family and the man she wanted to marry. She still blamed herself for everything.

Three weeks later, Natalie was sweeping the living room when she started feeling dizzy.

She has been experiencing that for more than a week now. Her grandma insisted they go to the hospital for check up but Natalie has refused.

But that day, it got so severe that she lost consciousness and fell on the floor. Luckily, grandma was at home at that moment and he was rushed to the hospital.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a different place, which wasn't her grandma's house. She turned to her left and there stood a drip stand, which was holding the bag of fluid running in her vein. She tried to sit upright but her head ached.

As he was still trying to figure out how she got there, Grandma came inside the room. her face wasn't the way Natalie has always seen. She wasn't smiling nor does she look happy. Natalie was confused.

Was something wrong with her? What did the doctor say was wrong with her? Did she injure any organ n her body for over thinking or for starving herself?

" Natalie, the doctor said you..." grandma lowered her head and exhaled deeply before lifting up her head again. what did the doctor said? Natalie was already getting scared. Why was her grandmas face that way? She managed to sit upright and leaned her back on the bed.

" what did the doctor say? please talk to me grandma, i'm getting scared already" Natalie said worriedly. Her heart was already beating fast and balls of sweats have already formed on her face. " the doctor said you are pregnant"

Natalie was shocked. How was she pregnant? And why would she be pregnant suddenly?

" I am not pregnant, I think the doctor has missed up the result." Natalie started crying, shaking her head vigorously.
