She looked at the children.

The thought of their conception flashed back her mind.

…. The very night her uncle sentt her to buy card On the 4th of February, that was the night she couldn’t never forget.

……. Now the children are in the world mysteriously.

…. Who could be the father of the children now???? The rapist who she didn’t even know their faces talk more of names or her Uncle??

She can’t just tell. ” Poor me” Dupe cried.

“Madam how are they doing???”,Mr Hendricks asked.. the Doctor” they are doing well sir. Thank God they are really doing beyond our expectations. Some premature babies don’t survive or they weigh less but IAM very surprised at this ones nature. You can imagine they both weigh 4.kg. That is really amazing” Dr. Bryan explained to Mr Hendricks impressively.

”” “” “” “” Hold on ….. Mr Hendricks is the man that helped and still helping Modupe……

, Questions are lingering in the nurses minds.. Who could this Mr Hendricks be to dupe???? A father, husband or a sort of family relations? Since the girl put to birth there was no one coming to see her or even bring the needed things.

…….. It was at the verge of the delivery that some of the things were been bought…

“No matter how related the man was to her.. he is really trying” the nurses commended Mr Hendricks who was running up and down.He even took the risk of signing the agreement statement that is mandate before any operation commence.

….

When the babies were matured enough to to stay out of the given temperature, they were handed over to their mother….

……*…… Dupe was now strong enough to breast feed her children….

She looked at them in eye and all she could see was love and peace…. Peace and love she missed longer ago…

“Though you came to this world in a painful and miserable way to me. I will always love you. You will turn my bitterness to sweetness.. In you I shall be blessed” she prayed for the children.

“Sir we want to register the babies, how do we go about the names??” The nurse asked.

Dupe looked at Mr Hendricks and he looked at her.

She tried opening mouth to say something but there was nothing coming forth… Which name those she want suggest? Her father’s name, uncle’s Name or the rapists?????

” The names are, Oluwadarasimi Hendricks love, and the boy OLUWASEUN Hendricks Jonathan”Mr Hendricks said boldly as Modupe looked at him in shock.

” Is he claiming the children for himself or what is he trying to do.

That was the question she couldn’t answer.
