DUPLICATE FATE

Chapter 12

"What's your plan? About that." My eye drifted to her still flat tommy.

"I want to keep this innocent child and you have to take responsibility for our child,,Nana Kwame," Adoma said, looking me in the eye.

" So what do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Marry me." She answered.

" Marriage! " i exclaimed. " You must be kidding. I'm not ready for that, but I can father your child if you want. " i said, meeting my eyes.

"Oh. But what I want is for you to marry me.You are the cause of this. I didn't ask you to come to my house so late at night and make me do what I never planned on doing." Shesaid. "I can't get pregnant out of wedlock, without a husband, Nana Kwame." She quickly brought her hand to her mouth when she suddenly felt nausea.

"I will do anything, even if it means paying you. What do you want me to do, so you' ll agree to marry me? Name it," she asked.

"Fifty million dollars, can you ?" I said, smiling.

"Fifty million dollars? Consider it done." I assured him.

"I have to think about this. Can I give you the answer tomorrow?" My asked.

" Okay, I will be expecting a positive answer from you tomorrow then. Because you put me in this condition. I never beg you to come and make a move on me. Bye." She said and turned to leave, only to find my mother standing there, smiling wide at her as if she had won a lottery.' What the hell is wrong with me? I totally forgot that his mother was still there and could hear our conversation.' I thought as I walked towards the entrance where she stood.

" Thanks ma'am, I will be taking my leave now. See you some other time. Bye."I said

"You are welcome dear. Nana, won't you send her home? You know she is pregnant and shouldn't go back home alone?" I said.

" Thanks ma'am. But you don't have to worry about me," I said.

" Why not? You have my grandchild there." She said, pointing towards my tommy.

"I came with my sister and she is outside waiting for me." I said. Well, the sister I was referring to is my nanny's daughter, Adobia, who is now my adopted sister. Nanny Akuaa is just like mom who has no one. When she died a year ago from a brain tumor , mom brought her home and she has been a very wonderful big sister I never had. Adobia is four years older than me.

"Okay, take care of yourself and that of my grandchild. Bye . " Nana Kwame's mother said, waving her hand at me..

" Bye" i wave back and walk out to the car where Sister Adobia stood waiting for me.

We get into the car and she drive us to the hospital where mom has been admitted
