Treasure in the Discarded Refuse 2

 It's the first day of the week and the morning seemed full of energy from the golden rays that peeked through the clouds, casting a warm glow on the landscape.

The dawn had finally faded, and the world awakened from its slumber.


She had a lot planned for the day. She planned to meet with about nine of her lovers, to go clubbing with her folks, to get new sets of clothes at the boutique and then to attend a birthday party.


She reached out for a glass of water, and just as she was about to take a gulp, she staggered, and this made the glass of water fall from her hands. She put her left hand on her forehead as if to squeeze it. She looked at the ground to see the mess she had made. All she could do was reach out to the chair next to her so she could sit.


In about 5 minutes, she felt better and started to clean up the mess she had made. Just then, her phone rang.

"Hey, James! Missing me already?" She asked, speaking over the phone.

"You know, it's been a while." James replied.

"I'll be there in 30." She said.


She got dressed. She reached for the door and locked it behind her.

As she walked through the corridor, she began to feel dizzy again, and this time it was intense.

"What's going on with me this morning?" She asked herself.


Soon, she started feeling nausea and ran towards the door, then dashed into the bathroom. Right in the basin, she vomited.

She rinsed her mouth.

"No, no, no. Not today! I can't afford to not meet with James." She said to herself.

"What is even wrong with me?" "Why this morning?" "I think it's best if I visit a nearby clinic."


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


"The test is ready, miss. Have it." The doctor said to her.

She reached out for the test results.

"Thank you." She replied.

"What! Am I hallucinating right now? This can't be! How is this even possible? Two misfortunes at once! I'm doomed!"

"Calm down, miss. I know how you feel. You'll be placed on medications that can help you manage the infection. And congratulations on the pregnancy. It's a thing of joy."

"No! This is misfortune! How do I go about my life like this? I can't be pregnant and have STI at the same time!


She began to cry uncontrollably. The doctor moved closer to her and began to pat her back.

"It's okay." The doctor said.

"No! It's not okay! You have no idea how big a misfortune this is! Why do I have to go through pain over and over again? Can't you perform an abortion? Please, help me."

"I am a Christian and also a professional medical practitioner. My faith and prof.....

She dashed out of the doctor's office before the doctor completed her statement.

MIRROR

  1 Like every morning, Debbie's phone alarm rang to signify it's time to be awake. She stretched forth her hands to get a hold of her phone and put off the ringing alarm. She arose and knelt by the side of her bed to say her morning prayers. Then she moved to the bathroom to freshen up that morning. The scent of the air freshener hung right above the bathroom mirror and the bar soap carefully placed in its case by the edge of the basin welcomed her as she stepped into the bathroom. She stood before the mirror, brushed through her hair with her fingers, took in a deep breath and said, "it's Monday morning again! Another morning like every other morning to meet Hephzibah. Can't wait!" She giggled. Hephzibah happened to be the most famous and the most talented student in the art department of the school they both attend. Hephzibah had always been an idol in the heart of Debbie. She wanted to be the "star" Hephzibah was. She daily fantasised about her b...

It all happened when she made up her mind and thought, "I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink. It's not as though anyone cares about me. I must survive by all means. God doesn't even care anyway. Family is nothing but bad news." Yes, this was her thought. Yes, she already made up her mind. The next thing left for her to do was to take action. "Hello, Mike. Are you home?" she asked one of her many lovers over the phone. "Yes, babe. You know I'm always home for you." Mike replied. "I will be right there. We have a lot of acts yet to be done." She said. "I will be waiting for you." Mike replied.          *********************************** "Will you be here tomorrow?" Mike asked. "Tomorrow? C'mon. I have other places to be tomorrow. My services are needed elsewhere tomorrow." She replied. "Okay, have your pay. Until next time."...

She continued. "I was mentally and psychologically unstable. I could not continue going to school. After about two years of having this experience every single night, I met with a group of girls who saved me from that rapist. I thought I was finally free from that pathetic experience, until I realised these girls were prostitutes. They brought me into what they do and I was on it for years until about four days ago when I realised I am pregnant and I have been infected with an STI." Hot tears rolled down her eyes as she explained. "My life has been pathetic. I feel filthy. I feel like I am a discarded refuse." She said. When she was done telling her story, the stranger gave her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and he smiled brightly at her and said, "the devil thought he had you, but Jesus said you are His." "I don't understand." She said. "Yes, you went through all of these and the devil thought that he's finished with you, but Jesu...
