Over seven years of my marriage with Gozie and we still had no children to show for it.

I couldn't be in a public gathering without people

mocking and making gestures of me, i was known and referred to as the woman who cannot birth children instead of my name.

Gozie didn't seem to bother about what problem had to say about me, rather he took advantage of the situation to continue with his dirty affairs with women.

The thoughts of ending the marriage just as my father had advised me crowded my mind, but i didn't want Gozie to have the victory, within me i was convinced that my inability to have children had something to do with Gozie's infidelity.

I started praying more to God, attending prayer crusades and even switched from Catholic Church to

a more spiritual church ( white garment church) for revelations and prophecies.

It wasn't long enough that i started attending

spiritual church and carrying out different assignments based on revelations and prophecies, that heavens stretched fort it's merciful hands on me.

One day at my salon, this customer turned friend of mine suggested a gynecologist to me.

According to her, he is listed among the best top five gynecologist in town and has helped a lot of women with child birth issues.

His of a France origin and was only related to Cameroon by his Bayengui grandmother and goes by the name Mr Richard Sebastian.

A day later i visited this gynecologist and he requested i and Gozie should run some medical tests to know where the problem is from, which we both did and returned home to await the result.

On Thursday morning i got a call from the gynecologist that our test results were out and that i should come over to the hospital.

I took a quick bath and assigned my employees to take of care of some important customers i was supposed to attend to that morning.

I arrived at the hospital and headed straight towards the gynecologist office as he already awaits me in his office.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Come in.

Good morning Mr Richard.

Good morning Mrs Edith Ngọzi

Please have a seat, he offered.

Thanks Sir.

You did not come with your husband?

No Sir, he had urgent works. I replied.

Really! He exclaimed with so much intrigue.

What could be more important for a man

who has not been able to have kids for seven years?

Well, Sir am here now.

Do you mind telling me what the test results says?

I asked with an unsettled tone.

Well we're both about to find out, so shall we?

Yes! i replied hastily.

He proceeded to open the white envelope

containing our results and was reading it rather soundlessly.

Is everything okay Mr Richard? i asked.

While waiting for a reply to my question with bated

breathe.

He took what seemed to me like forever to raise his head nor even say a word to me.

After a long silence from him, he then raised his head, dropped the pink sheet of paper took off his glasses and gave me a rather pitiful look.

Madam where did you say your husband went to?

He asked angrily.

Phone your husband and tell him his presence is needed here urgently. He added.

Sir is there a problem? Please!

I asked again.

A question he did not entertain and insisted on my Gozie presence before he would read out the test results.

I phoned Gozie and told him gynecologist requested for his presence before he could reveal the test results.

A phone call which almost lead to a quarrel because he claimed he had stated earlier he wouldn't be available for that.

He later agreed to come after the gynecologist spoke to him too.

Few minutes later Gozie joined me in the gynecologist office.

While Gozie sat close to me waiting to hear the results, Mr Richard suddenly had this queer and un-amiable attitude towards him.

Instead of reading the results out to us he rather looked at Gozie angrily and said...

" How could you Mr Gozie?

How could you be this wicked and mean?

Shocked at the same time confused I was .

Now i was even more eager to hear what the test results as i sat at the edge of my seat.

Mr Richard continued.....

You knew you had deadly sexually transmitted infections and you didn't bother to treat yourself nor even tell your wife about it.

How could you be this wicked?

You are the reason why your wife has not able to have children.

You could have treated yourself but you didn't rather you infected your wife and that almost damaged her womb. "

On hearing this i almost swoon.

Gozie what have i done to you to deserve all this? I cried out.

All these years you knew you were the problem of our childlessness and you allowed your family point fingers at me..,how could you?

I hate you with everything in me! I screamed so loud that Mr Richard had to hold me down to my seat.

Gozie was speechless and a bit remorseful.

Mr Richard prescribed some drugs to us and drew an appointment times-table as well.

He also warned Gozie never to repeat such again as the consequences might not be this minor.
