Alyce was driving to the hospital for her pregnancy checkup. She still regrets everything that took place before 5 years. She recalled what Lucas had said, 'Drive safely'.Lucas had helped Alyce a lot through her life, he was her saviour. She had reached the hospital and got inside and sat in the waiting room. As she was sitting there she saw a kid, who was trying to play hide and seek with her. She smiled and said ' peek-a-boo'. The girl went back inside the wall. Alyce gets up from the chair and walks to where the kid was playing and while she reached, a woman was telling the child that ' you should not play from here, there is a ghost behind this wall'. The kid ran to her mom who was on the opposite side of the wall. Alyce walked to the side, the kid was playing and saw a beehive. She started losing her consciousness, her screaming 'help! Help' was so silent that no one could hear that. She fell down catching her stomach.
She got up in the hospital bed. 'Doctor is my baby all right, she said, catching her pregnant belly'.
"Alyce, your baby is all right. You knew you had Entomophobia (Fear of Insects) then why did you go to that side of the wall." "Yes, doctor. I didn't know there was a beehive in there and doctor please don't call Lucas". ' Sorry, but as a doctor I already informed Lucas and he told you to call him after you gain your consciousness'. She took the phone and dialled his number. He asked her if she was okay ad how she was feeling. She said she was feeling fine. He asked her if he should come to the hospital and she replied no need I am fine, I will drive back home. They cut the phone and Alyce got out of the hospital and sat in her car. At that moment her phone rang. Alyce picked up the phone. Ellen said," How are you, Alyce?'. Alyce replied, " Good, what about you?". "I am fine, how is your baby?", Ellen asked. "Well, did it work out with Ajay?". "Nope, We broke up, he was cheating on me, What about we meet up today at Renee's?". "No, not today, I am not feeling that well ". Alyce said. "Ok, then take care of the baby". Said Ellen. "Bye " and she hung up the phone.
ELLEN was like my sister. I lost my mom and dad while I was small, it was her parents that took care of me, they were the family I had,
I loved them a lot and Ellen always supported me no matter what. I was a bright student and I had finished my MBA and I had plans for a startup business but then I had to get married and got pregnant and then I lost, No I was a careless mother, that must be why God has punished me...
Tears rolled down her cheek. She let out a faint scream, "Shawn, I am sorry!". She said.
After 10 -15 minutes of crying, she touched her pregnant bump and said " I will never let anything happen to you, I promise".
She started her car as her eyes were still wet. Instead of going home straight, she decided to go to THE RIVER
