I curse the day I met you Rere
(Alex is seen in his dining room looking gloomy as he drinks alcohol from a glass cup, Rere comes into the house with a smile on her face)
Rere: hey hon (she goes to peck him on the cheek, then she removes her shoe from her leg) I got a reservation for us at Jeliana, isn’t it great? We get to have a do over dinner for the dinner we never had (she clocks his mood) are you okay?
Alex: am okay but you on the other hand, not so much
Rere: what are you talking about?
Alex: the test result is out
Rere: what does it say?
Alex: the doctor said you have…. I can’t even remember the name of the disease
Rere: (surprise) disease? What kind of disease?
Alex: he said your womb is highly acidic, (Rere looks more confuse) that your womb will always kill every sperm that enters it and that you were lucky to have been pregnant 6 months ago
Rere: (her composure changes) pregnant? That is not possible
Alex: yeah that is what I told the doctor too, that we have been married for a year now and that if you were pregnant, it will be mine and you would have told me if we were expecting a baby, right Rere?
Rere: Alex….
Alex: (in anger, he stands up and throws the glass cup in his hand to the wall) please tell me that the doctor was wrong about you having an abortion
Rere: I can explain Alex
Alex: (in a rage) explain what Rere? Do you want explain how you chose your job, my father above our baby?
Rere: I am not ready to have a baby
Alex: well congrats on that (he chuckles sadly) because you can’t have a baby anymore
Rere: what?
Alex: after the abortion, the acidic level in your womb, heighten itself. You didn’t just screw yourself, you screwed me too (he lunges at her, and he held her hands tightly as hot tears rolls down his eyes) why will you do this to me?
Rere: (her tears starts to fall) I am sorry
Alex: (he releases her and walks few steps away from her before he turns back to her with so much pain in his eyes) I love you so much Rere, I love you to the extent that I will lay my life for you at any time if need be because I don’t think I can survive in a world that you aren’t in. That was why it didn’t matter when I found out that you approached me because of my father
Rere: (surprise) Alex?
Alex: I was ready to be who you want me to be because I was madly in love with you. I didn’t care about losing who I am if it means been with you (pause) you know, one of the best things I love about been a lawyer is my ability to read people’s emotion but Rere, I got your readings wrong
Rere: I love you Alex
Alex: no you don’t, because if you do, you won’t hurt me this way. It was fine with you treating me like crap but this, killing my child, our child, an human being (pause) I curse the day I met you Rere (he picks his car key from the table and walks towards the door)
Rere: (follows him) Alex please wait
Alex: (turns to face her) if you follow me, I swear to God, I will kill you (he leaves the house and enters his car, then he drives out of the compound)
