Chapter 2: What should I do?
Oh my gosh. I can't breathe. 'I am pregnant' I kept saying those words over and over again.
I wasn't myself again. I could not study. I could not even focus. I was scared. I was still sixteen. I just started studying in the university and ta-da I am already a mom. I started crying. My brother noticed that I was not acting like I used to. One night, he knocked on my door. I opened it and told him to come in.
He sat on my bed and asked me what was wrong. I tried to tell him that I was alright but he didn't believe me. He told me that he noticed that I was not acting like I used to. I began to cry. Then I told him that I was pregnant. He was shocked. He knew I never go to parties. And I only focus on my studies.
Then I told him what happened. I told him about his friend and how he raped me that fateful night. My brother was so angry. He could not believe it. He told me not to worry that he was going to talk to his friend. I was a little bit happy cause I thought my brother was going to tell me to abort the child.
My brother called my mom and dad to tell them about my pregnancy. My parents told me not to abort the child that once I give birth I would give them my child to take care of while I go to back to school. I shed tears of joy.
The next day my brother went to his friend's place. I was scared. I did not know what to do if he didn't accept the pregnancy. My brother called me that him and his friend was going to come home that night. I decided to prepare dinner for them.
They came home late at night and I had to warm the food because it was cold. We ate dinner quietly and my brother went to his room to sleep. Oh and I know me writing 'my brother's friend' is a little bit hard so I will call him David.
Well back to the story. David looked at me and told me we should go outside to talk. I was nervous but I decided to follow him. When we got outside he changed from his gentle demeanor in front of my brother to a devil-like look. I was scared. Then David started to talk saying that I shouldn't push a pregnancy that wasn't his to lock him down.
I could not believe it. He thought that I wanted to marry him that is why I got pregnant for another man. Wait, I got so angry. I shouted at him and asked him if he met me a virgin or not. I was in tears. I couldn't believe it like he raped me and yet he said that I got pregnant for another man. Then he looked at me and said that if the pregnancy was his then I should abort it cause he does not want to be a father. I was shocked. Like what the hell, I should abort my child because a freaking rapist and scumbag doesn't want to be a father. Then I snapped, I looked at him and slapped him. He was shocked and tried to raise his hands on me when my brother stopped him. My brother tried to make him leave but I stopped him. I went to my room and brought out my phone. I went outside and put my phone on recorder and told him to sign a contract that was on paper saying that when I give birth to my child he cannot come back to collect the child from me. He signed it and I was relieved then I told him to leave. He left and I cried. My brother hugged me and told me that I wasn't alone in this. He was right. I wiped my tears and went inside to sleep. I was waiting for a good day tomorrow.
