"ADE'S JOURNAL", 81

  Hope is me believing for the first time in a long time, that the time is now. I'm so relaxed about it and feeling really calm, I've fought a cold, heat rash and desperate friends and my vision has been blurred and tainted. No more can the voices outside my head confuse me, I know what I want. And I also acknowledge that my genuine friends mean well or at least I believe they do. Celine is team 'Alan' and she is so sure I would want to relocate to France, marry Alan and be related to her. Ajoke is team 'Daniel', she wants our husbands to be best friends and share the same investments and just be like sisters.
   Unfortunately for my two best friends, I've decided to take total control of the situation and be hundred percent a solo parent. To my surprise my last and final friend opposes this, in fact she would rather see me marry the father of her child than to choose to have a semi anonymous father out there with only his medical history at my disposal.
None of their opinions matter, I have decided it's what I want. I will choose the gene pool and the number of children I want and when they are old enough, they can meet him if they want.
Ajoke almost passed out and Celine starts crying and Nnoye falls on her knees praying and begging God for an intervention.
'Why? It's the answer I have wanted all my life. The one that allows me grieve and have my children, without the emotional baggage of a demanding husband'
'Is that how my marriage looks like to you?', Ajoke asks a little distraught.
'I will marry Bala in a minute'
'Then let him donate instead of a stranger we know nothing about'
 I almost pass out from what she just said and Celine screamed and strongly disagrees.
'Alan' won't be as demanding as Daniel..'
'Alan wants a partner, a friend and I can't be that right now. But I want babies, I almost ran out with your sisters baby'
'Why? Ashabi's baby cries... All the time'
'What I will give to hear my babies cry again.... I know they are gone, but I want a family and after two years, we can then decide if I want a partner'
'How soon?'
'Once I graduate in April, I start to prepare my body for them...'
 My smile was genuinely fresh and I hug my belly as if preparing it for them.
'How many?', Ajoke asks squeezing my shoulders.
'That is my surprise'
'I won't stop praying', Nnoye adds and joins
 Ajoke as she hugs me.

 This is the year it all begins....
