I AM SO CONFUSED, SHOULD I TELL?

in voiceshares •  7 years ago 

If you are working in a hospital as a Doctor and one day, you happened to be among the team that performed abortion on a lady; would you tell on her later? A friend of mine( whom i will like to call Mrs Donald in this story) found herself in this predicament when she joined two other Doctors to remove an unborn innocent fetus from a young lady. 'Duty calls' they had told her and she had to oblige.

After the days work, my friend returned home feeling unhappy. When she told me the story, i tried to comfort her and asked her to beg God for forgiveness. I also asked her to resign if she had to.
Meanwhile, Mrs Donald is a single mother of four boys. Affiz, her eldest son had been in a relationship with a young girl. The mother has always asked him to bring a lady home. The man (Affiz) decided to take the relationship more seriously and made plans to bring the girl home to introduce to his mother.

On this fateful day, he was to bring his fiancee home. That would gladden my friend's heart. The atmosphere was pleasant and there was so much food. As i sat in the comfort of my own home, i got a call from my friend that i should come over to her house. I hurried down to her house which is not too far from mine. When i entered into the house i saw that the table is all set and i demanded to know what the celebration was.

"Affiz you son is bringing a fiancée home" . Mrs Donald announced. She called him my son because i was so fond of him since when he was little. I was so happy to hear that news and to be there.
As we reclined at the table, there was a "hello" voice, accompanied with a knock at the door. Behold, it was my dear Affiz and his beautiful finacee..

There was a shout for joy in the air but immediately Mrs Donald on seeing the girl, collapsed.
What could have been the problem? Without waiting for answers, Affiz and I immediately drove his mother to the hospital where she works.

At the hospital, the Doctor attending to her told us that Mrs Donald has high blood pressure which the hospital has been helping to manage or monitor for her. 'But what could have happend now?' I asked, feeling very confused.. But the Doctor told me that my friend had suffered shock.. Meanwhile, from the time we brought home to the hospital, she had neither spoken a word nor opened her eyes. She laid still.

I asked Affiz to go back home and take care of his visitor and the rest kids. I stayed back in the hospital, watching over my friend, Mrs Donald. After about an hour or so, Mrs Donald began to open her eyes. She found me there and asked where she was. I told her she had fainted upon seeing her son Affiz and his girl friend. She kept mute for a long time, but heaving like a sigh, she muttered something which i could not hear. I drew nearer to her and asked her what she was saying. Then she said something, something that necessitated this post. She said: "Do not allow my son to marry her, she has no womb". Upon saying these words, she passed out.

The words she told me rang like a bell to my ears. Immediately i remembered that a few weeks ago, Mrs Donald along with two other doctors had carried out abortion on a lady 'Could this be the girl?' 'Oh,Oh could she have lost her womb in the process?' I asked rhetorically.

I left the hospital feeling depressed and miserable.' I got to the house and before i say it, they all began to cry. The celebration which we had prepared for Affiz, which ought to be a happy moment for all of us, was turned into mourning.

The worst of it all was that her son kept asking, "what did my mother say?" "Didnt she say something?". "Honey why would my mother faint upon seeing you??", he asked his finance repeatedly in tears.
Should i tell her son, Affiz?'. 'Will he believe me?'. The young in question who had thought that her mother in-law has died therefore expecting that her secret is locked up with her, should i tell her that i know? If it were you, would you tell? I am so confused.

If am to advice, I will tell the young man the whole truth. Its then left for him to make his decision.

Hmm, another good one

Since its the mother's last request,i think u should honour her request by telling the young man.

Lovely

This is deep, thanks for sharing

Thanks for reading

@adore-eu such a tragedy. If I were you, I would conceal since the mother partook in the abominable act. However, I would prevail upon the son to take a second wife in later years

Nice one sir, thanks

Nice post i must confess.
If you are so fond of Affiz like you said you will save him from future marital blunder by facing him with the truth

hmmm

Send an anonymous text message

people hardly believe in that

Tell the young man, moreover he is like a son to you, lovely story. Oh wow.

Thanks sweetie for being here

Tell the truth. Lies have a way of enclosing you in deceitful web and gradually choking life out of you. There's nothing new under the sun and the Affiz might not be as naive as you think

That is very correct. What if he knew and they are both in on it. Thanks Edy

Thanks all, i adore you

My heart goes out to you. I hope that you find your answer. I would err on side of being open, let God and love decide the rest.

You are also a wonderful and emotive writer.
