Monday after school I rush home to change and before I leave the house I sit on my bed and hold my stomach.
“I am sorry little one for doing this. But I have no choice I don’t want you to suffer.”I say and I kneel down.
“Lord please forgive me for what I am about to do.I know it’s a sin but I don’t have a choice. “
****
I arrive at the place it’s so scary. I sit down on the chair and I hear a woman screaming.
“I am bleeding. Help me!”The woman shouts.
I stand up and follow the screams I land on a room and I open the door slowly.I see a woman screaming. She is bleeding non stop. She looks like she’s dying. I hear a pat on my shoulder and I get startled it’s a woman in a doctor ‘s uniform.
“You must be Naledi” The woman says.
When I booked for the appointment I told her my name is Naledi.
“Yes I am Naledi “I say.
“Let’s go this way “She says and I follow her. We arrive at a room and there is a nurse. “Puleng give her the pills”The doctor says and leaves.
“Good afternoon my name is Puleng. Please take these pills and drink two of them”The nurse says and gives two pills.
“Okay. What’s happening with the woman who is screaming on the next room?”I ask.
“Oh that one don’t worry about her. Drink the pills “Puleng says.
She gives me a glass of water.
Should I do this?I don’t know. I look at my stomach. Yes I want to do this.
I put the pills in my mouth and take a gulp of the water.
