Story: Our Choice

Rick and Louisa loved each other so much. In fact, theirs was love at first sight. So they made up their mind to marry each other, to spend the rest of their life together. Their minds were unshakeable concerning their decision.

The wedding plans were going smoothly with agreement of both families until their relationship and decision hit a rock. This happened when they went for the normal necessary tests. It happened that both of them were AS genotype and the doctor advised them not to marry. They agreed to hide it from their parents and families but Louisa could not hold on but told her mother, Benita. Benita shouted and quickly spread the revelation like wildfire. Soon it was Rick and Louisa on one side and the rest of the world on the other side.

When they saw no one was in support of their marriage, they decided to force them to agree. Louisa soon announced her pregnancy, by then she was 2weeks down. Both families had no other choice but to allow them have their way. The wedding which was initially cancelled was rushed so that the baby bump will not show before the wedding.

After several months, Louisa put to birth and it was a boy, Eden. Eden was lucky to be AS genotype. Just as Rick and Louisa were rejoicing their love had prevailed, Eden died mysteriously. The doctor even said he could not reveal the cause of his death. Louisa and Rick cried and wiped their tears. Soon Louisa took in and in due time she gave birth to a girl but she was SS genotype. From her birth she kept experiencing crisis until she died at the 7th month. The event of her death made Rick and Louisa want to start regretting their decision but they later became hopeful the next one might live.

Instead of their hope prevailing they had a stillborn and Louisa nearly died in the process. Due to additional pressure from her in-laws, Louisa was forced to do something quick or risk her marriage. So she intentionally started having an extra marital affair with a man introduced to her by her friend Tessy. Tessy knew the man was AA genotype and the man was aware Louisa was married but they hide it all from Rick.

Soon she took in and after several months she gave birth to a girl, Linda. Rick was anxious to know the genotype of the child. He was happy when the doctor announced she is AS genotype. Louisa thought her sins had been covered until when the child became critically ill that blood transfusion was needed. Louisa was not a match, so everyone expected that the father, Rick must be a match. Louisa was so tensed and prayed the worst should not happen. When Rick was tested, he did not match. This raised questions on every side. After Linda’s recovery, as the blood transfused to her was gotten from a blood bank, Rick abandoned Louisa without a word. Louisa did not know that when Linda was been treated, Rick took a fluid sample from her, ran a DNA test on it and confirmed she is not her biological daughter.
