Episode 8

The news that they were not compatible was devastating.

But after crying for hours, Femi wiped Jemima’s tears and said, “I don’t believe that result. Something is wrong somewhere.” Jemima looked at him in tears. Her face was swollen from crying.

“What do we do now?” she asked softly.

“We will go to another hospital,” Femi said firmly.

“We will do the test again. I’m sure this time we will get the truth.” Femi said.

Jemima agreed. Early the next morning, they left the house quietly. They didn’t tell anyone where they were going. Femi drove straight to a private hospital in Ikeja.

“Let’s just do this and settle it once and for all,” he said.

When they got to the hospital, the receptionist welcomed them warmly and directed them to the laboratory section.

They submitted their blood samples for genotype testing. While waiting, Jemima was restless. She kept tapping her fingers on her lap.

“What if the same result comes out again?” she asked nervously.

“Let’s have faith,” Femi said. “We love each other, and I don’t believe God will separate us this way.”

They both sat quietly, holding hands. After the test, the technician told them to return the next day for the result. They left anxiously.

That night, Femi couldn’t sleep. He kept turning on the bed, deep in thought. “What if the result comes out bad again?” he asked himself.

Jemima was also awake, pretending to sleep. She was scared of everything falling apart again. In the morning, Femi got up early.

“Let’s go and collect our result,” he said. They dressed up quickly and went to the hospital. The technician smiled when he saw them.

“Good morning, Mr. Femi, good morning, Miss Jemima,” he said cheerfully. “Your result is ready.”

Femi and Jemima were scared. Jemima held his arm tightly as the technician handed them the envelope.

“Go ahead and open it,” Jemima said. Femi slowly tore the envelope and began to read. His eyes brightened with joy.

“We are compatible!” he shouted. Jemima shouted and covered her mouth.

“What? Are you serious?” she asked. Femi laughed and showed her the paper.

“Yes, look at it. We are a match.” Jemima jumped up and hugged him tightly.

“Thank you, Jesus,” she said loudly. The technician smiled at them.

“Congratulations. You both can marry safely.” The technician said. Jemima was crying, but this time it was tears of joy.

“God has answered our prayers,” she said.

On their way home, Femi could not stop smiling. He looked at Jemima several times.

“I told you the first test was a lie,” he said. Jemima nodded.

“I’m so happy, Femi. I thought I was going to lose you.”

“Nothing can separate us again. Let’s go ahead with our wedding plans.”

That evening, they called their parents and shared the good news. Everyone was happy. The wedding preparations started again. They fixed a new date and began shopping for clothes and decorations. Femi didn’t know that danger was still around the corner, waiting for them.

A few days later, Bruno came to Jemima’s house unexpectedly. She was surprised when she opened the door and saw him standing there.

“Bruno, what are you doing here?” she asked sharply. Bruno smiled coldly.

“You know why I’m here,” he said. Jemima frowned.

“I don’t understand,” she replied. Bruno stepped closer.

“So you are pregnant, right?” he said. Jemima was shocked.

“What are you talking about?” she asked nervously.

“Stop pretending. I already know everything. The lab technician told me. You are pregnant, and I’m sure the baby is mine.” Bruno said. Jemima froze, speechless and trembling with fear.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Jemima tried to deny, but Bruno pulled out a paper from his pocket and waved it in her face.

“Here, see for yourself. This is the test result from the laboratory. You are pregnant, Jemima,” he said.

Jemima covered her mouth in shock. “Oh my God. Please, Bruno. Don’t tell Femi. Please protect my secret. I know the baby is yours, but you know I can’t marry you. Femi must never find out.” She said.

Bruno folded his arms. “So you want to give my child to another man? You can’t do that, Jemima. That baby is mine, and I will not allow you to pin it on Femi.” He said.

Jemima started crying harder. “Please, Bruno, I beg you. Don't expose me." She said.

"You have one week to decide. Break up with Femi and marry me. If you don’t do it, I will tell him everything myself.” Bruno said. Jemima’s heart stopped for a moment. She looked at him in shock, her tears flowing freely. Bruno turned and walked away.
