Burdens contd

Jane walked into the hospital, the odd antiseptic smell, synonymous with  hospitals, filled the air.
Two nurses rushed a young man who was involved in an accident, blood gushed out of his head. Jane looked away because blood makes her squeamish.

A friend had directed her to the hospital. According to her friend, the hospital is the best in the state and the doctors there are up to the task.

Jane had come for her test results that was carried out a week ago, she picked a STYLE magazine laying helplessly on the couch and flipped through it.

"It's your turn to see the doctor" The tall nurse informed her.
Jane wondered greatly at the Nurse's height, to worsen the matter, the nurse was wearing high-heels. Jane quickly opined that modelling should be her work and not nursing.

Suddenly aware that the tall nurse was still waiting for some kind of response from her. Jane held back her honest opinion and managed a polite "Thank you,I'll be on my way"

Jane entered the doctor's office quietly, The office was large in size, A stethoscope was laying helplessly on the desk, The diagram of a woman's internal body part was hanged on the wall. Jane could see two handbill, hanging directly opposite the door,one was with the inscription 'HEALTH IS WEALTH', while the other was 'AIDS IS REAL'.

"Good morning,sir" She greeted

"Ohh,good morning,Jane right??"

Jane nodded

"Please do sit down" the doctor continued

"I guess you're here for your test result,right??"

"Yes sir" Jane replied

"Well,going through your test result,you're 100% okay,I can't pinpoint any disease or infection that might be stopping you from giving birth"

"Then,why am I barren??"

"Well,the equipment we used to examine your urine and all other things are imported, Needless to say,if you go to any other laboratory, their result will be the same with ours"

"Thank you sir, I'll be on my way"

Jane strode out of the hospital, She had heard it like a million times, that she's okay ,then what could be her problem??
Her alter ego replied her 'your pasts'. No!! She screamed.
Could it be that her past is haunting her??

"Aunty! Aunty!!" A woman called

Jane looked back "hope nothing??" She asked

"Nothing ma, Do you remember me??" The woman said breathing heavily due to the way she ran.

"I'm sorry,I don't think so"

"Really?? Well,you helped my son with his admission,Ayobami" The woman explained

"Ohh,you're his mum,sorry ma,I don't recognise you earlier"

"It's okay,I understand you see a lot of people daily"

"Absolutely"

"So Ayobami told me,God has not given you child yet,and I'm thinking you can come to our church on sunday,here's the address" The woman said as she handed the church card to Jane.

"Thank you ma,I'll be there" Jane said as she collected the card.
