''Oh God! No,it can't be! My daughter? Noooooo'' Mrs. Smith
exclaimed as she woke up from her sleep, sweating profusely. Her scream woke her husband up. It was such a terrible dream she had.
''Dear, what's the problem?What happened?'', Mr. Smith asked his wife. ''It's Tomi, it's Tomi, I saw her....In the in the i....n the pool of her blood. I saw her in my dream....Noooo, not my daughter!''Mrs. Smith replied her husband. ''Calm down, nothing evil will befall her, she is safe and secured in God's hands. Let's just pray for her'',Mr. Smith said.
Early that morning, Mrs. Smith flashed back to the dream she had in the night. So many thoughts ran through her mind, ''Could it be that she is in danger? What exactly is God warning us about?
She decided to call Teni, Tomi's sister and narrated the dream to her. Teni had taken along Tomi to her place the last time she was home so as not create any room for suspicion, at least not until her parents have gotten over the shock of the rape news.
''Wow, mum, that's strange. Don't worry, Tomi is doing fine here, it's just a threat of the devil. She will be just fine.'' Teni assured her mum. ''It's ok my dear, please just keep a good watch at her. Tell her to always open up to you when she is bothered'', Mrs. Smith replied her daughter. The conversation ended.
Dropping the call, Teni told her sister ''That was mum, she said she had a terrible dream about you last night. Don't worry about the details of the dream. I definitely assured her you are fine''.
Tomi couldn't but worry. ''What kind of dream would that be again?'' She cast her mind back to the dream she had a few days ago, where she was trying to plunge a knife into her belly. Tomi became so scared when she woke up that day. ''God, could this be some warning of some sort? Why? I can't carry this shame, abortion is just the only option. I didn't plan to have a baby at 19, At my first year in the university! God! You can't leave me at this point.I have not even heard your voice since this occurrence. Please Lord, allow me do this. Please...'' Sobbing, Tomi said.
Wiping off her tears, she decided to call the only friend that knows of the rape incidence and the pregnancy report and had advised her to get rid of it. ''Hello Tobi, how are you? I have decided to get rid of the pregnancy, can u send a description of the hospital you talked about and the name of the doctor?''. Tomi said. The conversation with her friend ended.
Friday night was hell for Tomi Smith, she tossed from one end of the bed to another, she was indeed restless. Her sister had to ask her what was wrong with her, she replied negatively. Teni Smith had to pray for her sister silently.
Finally, it was Saturday. ''What a rough night it was. Thank God sis has gone out. I have to go now before sis returns. I didn't even think of it, what will I tell my sister. God will take control.'' Tomi thought aloud.
At the hospital, Tomi sat and waited till it was her turn to see the doctor. Finally, it was her turn, she entered the room with her heart beating,''God, please, help me, preserve my life, forgive me'', Tomi cried silently. On entering the consultancy room, the sight of the person she saw was a shock to her.
Who did she see?***To be continued***
