SweetPikin True Life Story: The Trauma Of Our Blood Oath

I sat down to watch helplessly not knowing what to do, Thoughts and visions invading my mind as I awaited the fate of my child…Memory Flash, I was so in love with kunle as at the time we met that we felt we were perfect for each other…indeed we were but I sometimes ask myself just one of us been sane would have stop us from going through this problem. 

You see our love was made in heaven, we perfectly complemented each other in every way, during our days in school, We won best couple 3 consecutive times, making us the most popular couple.

But what happened I guess you are wondering, We decided to get married and do a secret blood oath in school, You see we were strong believers and we felt instead committing fornication in the eyes of God. Let us make it legal. It was such a beautiful time in our lives as most students did not know, we were actually married and with the blood oath we did we could be apart from each other.  

Kunle finally met my parents during our final year in school and I met his own parents. We were both accepted by the two families and they actually agreed we get married same day August 15^th that was already our wedding anniversary since have already done our court marriage and Kunle joy knew no bounds and thanked God for making us meet each other.

But we did not know our joy would be cut short by the sudden news after our first baby was born, I noticed my baby’s health was out of place after my delivery. You see my baby will cry continuously overnight for no reason even my breast cannot stop the pain, he was feeling, we decided to do a thorough checkup on our child and alas, Our baby was SS, The blow that hit felt like cold Ice..The doctors tried explaining the pain and agony experienced by Sickle Cell Anemia Children. My mind was blank, what is this? I was sleeping at the hospital due to the crisis my child Opeoluwa experienced…..Her own was out of place even the doctors confirmed this and the thoughts of loosing her made me a shadow of myself.. I and Kunle became sworn enemies because we accused other for our predicament; I had to stop work to care for my child and this made more furious with Kunle as I felt He was not feeling the weight of  the situation..

Now My decision is this marriage cannot go on., because I am scared of having another sickle cell child but it is twisted because of the oath….We swore if we ever leave each other, Our lives we not have a meaning until we live this planet earth. I have consulted pastors and they have advised I stay and sort in out with my husband but I am tired of taking care of a continuous sick child, looking depressed always if only we have gone for a test before getting married……………..I need answers?
