Chapter 6 Malnourished...

I woke with a headache, my throat was dry and I need to drink water...I looked at my phone and realised I had slept for almost 5 hours ...its was mid evening.

As I got out of bed to head to the bedroom I so felt dizzy that I almost fell but steadied myself with the bathroom door ....I stumbled into the bathroom, managed to ease myself, cleared and got up...I felt another round of dizziness....why am I feeling this, I felt so tire, weak and as if my body has been pounded ...what's happening to me I was wondering as fell and lost consciousness.

-------------------------

I opened my eyes to a dark room, confused and wondering where I was ...I tried to get up and was gently pushed down on the bed ..

Easy now Mrs Moreson said...don't pull out the drip in your hand ..

Then everything came back to me, where I was and how I fell ...

what happened to me ? I asked touching my head, I looked at my left hand with the drip attached..I didn't even know when that happened ..

Mrs Brearmore found you on the floor of the bathroom, you must have fainted..

we called a Doctor, and after checking you he said you were malnourished...and that for your condition you were under weight she answered looking me

I looked away...feeling self conscious...

look I don't know what happened to you child but you need to take care of yourself unless you want to lose the pregnancy

I have not really thought about the pregnancy, I touched my stomach aware that I was been watched ...all I have tried to do is be far away from the father.

There was a knock in the door and the housekeeper came in with a tray, on it was a bowl of soup, bread and water.

She switched on the lights, and put the tray on the table beside the bed....I suddenly felt very hungry when I smelt the aroma of the soup..the scent of ginger was suiting to my stomach.

I sat up on the bed, Mrs Brearmore helped me with pillow, and handled the bowl of soup to me...

When I finished eating, Mrs Moreson gave me some drugs ...I looked them at the questionably..

The doctor prescribed them she said, they are vitamins. He said you need to rest and eat more ...

I took the drugs from her, swallowed them with some water...laid my head back on the headstand and closed my eyes.

After about 10 minutes, I felt a hand on my shoulder...opening my eyes to look at Mrs Moreson she gently smiled at me...Sleep she said...the doctor also said you might not have been sleeping well so he gave you something light to sleep...I will leave you now.

I drowsyingly smiled at her and told her thank you.

When she closed the door to Triash's room, she found her husband in the living room reading, he set the book aside as I came in...how is she he asked

she is fine, should be asleep by now I answered

I wonder what happened to her, why is she running and who is the father of the child ...he said

I don't think we are close to knowing by the looks of it James said entering the room ..

His parents looked at him 😰

I am just saying...he answered not as if I am going to go force it out of her but ...I hope she is not in some kind of trouble...

Don't say another word James..his Father said

But Father ...I don't want us getting involved in what ever she is running from...whose child is she running away with ...I mean ..

Not another word his father said sternly...
