Pregnant Before Wedding Day
Episode 7
The morning light streamed through the curtains when Lily slowly opened her eyes. She yawned softly, expecting to see Dr. John smiling at her. Instead, she found him sitting at the edge of the bed, his face calm but firm. “Lily,” he began in a steady voice, “I know you are pregnant.” The words landed heavily in the quiet room. Lily blinked several times, as if trying to shake off what she just heard. “That’s not true, John. Why would you say such a thing?” she asked, her voice low but slightly trembling.
John did not raise his voice. “Lily, you can deny it all you want, but I already know. Last night, after you went to the bathroom, I collected your urine without you knowing. I tested it myself. Here is the result.” He reached into the drawer beside him and pulled out the small strip. The faint pink lines stared up at her, clear and undeniable. Lily froze, her lips parting slightly. She had not expected him to have proof. Her hands fell to her lap, and her heart began to beat fast.
After a long pause, Lily let out a slow sigh. “Alright, John. You are right. I am pregnant,” she admitted, her eyes fixed on the floor. “It’s not yours. I got pregnant for my boyfriend. I was afraid because he is poor, so I wanted to make you believe it was yours. That’s why I’ve been trying so hard to get you to sleep with me.” Her voice cracked slightly as she spoke. She could not meet his eyes. John sat very still, absorbing each word in silence.
John finally spoke with a calm voice that carried the weight of disappointment. “So all this time, Lily, it was a lie? You wanted to make me raise another man’s child without my knowledge? Do you know what that means? Marriage is built on truth, not on deceit. There is no way we can go ahead with our wedding as planned. I cannot marry someone who would hide something this important from me.” He shook his head slowly. The sadness in his eyes was deeper than any anger could show.
Lily’s voice grew as she tried to explain. “John, you don’t understand. My boyfriend… he is poor. He can barely take care of himself, let alone me or a baby. I didn’t want to live a life of struggle. I thought marrying you would give me and my baby a better future.” Her words came out almost like a plea. She wanted him to understand her reasoning, though she knew deep down it was wrong. Her fingers twisted together nervously as she waited for his reply.
“Lily, let me tell you something you might not have heard before. You should never leave a man simply because he is poor today. Life changes. People grow. A man’s present situation is not always his final one. If he truly loves you, and treats you with kindness and respect, that is worth more than all the money in the world. Wealth without love becomes empty quickly. Do not throw away a good heart for the sake of comfort.” He said.
“I’ve already broken his heart, John. I ignored his calls. I never replied to his messages. I made him feel worthless. How can I go back to him now and ask for forgiveness? He will hate me. I wouldn’t even know where to begin.” Her words were heavy with regret. She could see in her mind all the times Mekus had tried to reach her, only for her to push him away. The weight of what she had done was too heavy.
“You start by admitting you were wrong. You go to him with humility. You tell him the truth, without excuses. It will not be easy, but it will be the right thing. Money is not everything, Lily. If this man loved you, and you loved him once, then he deserves at least your honesty. Even if he cannot forgive you right away, you will know you did the right thing. That alone will bring you peace in time.” John said.
“You’re right, John,” she said quietly. “I need to face what I’ve done and try to fix it. I came here thinking I was securing my future, but all I did was destroy the trust of someone who truly cared for me. I will go and see him. I don’t know what will happen, but I’ll go.” She stood up and began to gather her things. The room was quiet except for the soft sound of her packing.
When she finished, she turned to him. “I’m sorry, John,” she said with a low voice. “For everything.” He gave a small nod, but said nothing more. Lily walked slowly to the door shamefully. As she stepped outside, the cool morning air met her face. She knew she had lost John completely, and perhaps Mekus too. But she also knew she had to try. With a deep breath, she walked away from the house, carrying both the weight of her mistake and the hope of making it right.

For many days, Lily could not bring herself to go to Mekus. She would wake up in the morning, dress up, and then sit back down sadly. Her courage disappeared. She was ashamed of what she had done. The memory of ignoring his calls and deleting his messages without reading them made her embarrassed. Now, she wanted to keep the baby, but the thought of raising it alone scared her. More than once, the idea of aborting it crossed her mind, but deep inside, she knew she did not have the heart to end an innocent life.
One afternoon, Lily returned to Dr. John’s house. She sat quietly in his living room with her hands resting on her knees. “John,” she began softly, “if I remove this baby… will you take me back?” Her voice was low and almost like that of a child asking for something she knew would be refused. John shook his head slowly. “Lily, no. This is not about the baby alone. It’s about trust. Even if the child was not there, I cannot marry you after the lies you told me.” His voice sounded calm but final. Lily lowered her head in silence.
Leaving John’s place that day, Lily knew she had only one option left: to tell Mekus the truth. She rehearsed in her mind what she would say to him. She imagined herself knocking on his door, him opening it, and her falling to her knees to beg. But reality did not match her thoughts. The first time she went to his house, his door was locked. She waited outside for a while, but no one came. The second time, it was the same. The third time, she realized she might not meet him at all.
On the third day, she decided to call. She had been avoiding this step because she did not want to talk about something so delicate over the phone. Her hand trembled as she dialed his number. He picked up on the second ring. “Hello,” Mekus’s voice came through, deeper than she remembered. “It’s me, Lily,” she said quietly. There was silence for a moment, then he replied, “I’m not at the old place anymore. I moved to a bigger apartment.” His tone was flat, without any excitement or warmth. Lily blinked, surprised. “You moved?” she asked. “Yes,” Mekus replied simply. “I got a better job. No more taxi driving. The pay is much higher, and I decided to change my environment. I am in a better place now, in every way.” Lily felt a strange pain in her chest. All this time, she had assumed he was still struggling. “That’s… good,” she managed to say. “I was hoping I could visit you. There’s something important I need to tell you. It’s about us.” She tried to sound calm, but inside, she was already preparing herself for the worst answer.
The worst answer came. “I don’t want you to visit me, Lily,” Mekus said plainly. “I don’t want to see you again. Stay away from me, forever.” His voice was not raised, but it was filled with meaning. “Why, Mekus?” she asked quickly. “You know why,” he replied. “You left me when you thought I had nothing. You didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself. You didn’t care about the years we shared, the memories we built. You made me feel like my worth was measured only by what I had in my pocket.”
“I was wrong, Mekus. I see that now. I should never have done what I did. I thought I was securing my future, but I was only breaking something good. Please, just let me see you, so I can say this face-to-face. I am not asking for much.” She paused, hoping for even a hint of softness in his voice. But all she heard was silence on the other end of the line, followed by the faint sound of him breathing. It made her heart sink further.
“Lily, forgiveness is not something you demand. It’s something you earn. And right now, I am not ready to forgive you. I have moved on. My life is different now. I cannot go back to where I used to be, emotionally or otherwise. You chose another man over me. That was your choice, and you must live with it. You can’t just come back because things didn’t work out the way you planned.” He said.
“Mekus, please. I made mistakes, yes, but I want to make things right. Please don’t shut me out completely. I am not asking for marriage if you don’t want it. I just want you to know the truth and to forgive me.” Her words came slowly, like each one cost her something. She waited for him to respond.
“No, Lily. I cannot. Goodbye.” And with that, the line went dead. Lily stared at her phone for a long moment, unable to move. The tears she had been holding back finally rolled down her eyes. She had come to ask for forgiveness, but instead, she had been reminded of the weight of her betrayal. As she sat there, the reality sank in—Mekus was no longer the man waiting for her to return. He had closed the door completely, and this time, it was she who was left outside.

Lily did not want to give up on Mekus. She loves him and has no other option. She picked up her phone to call Mekus again. Her heart was beating fast, but she knew she had to try one more time. When he answered, she spoke softly with a broken heart. “Mekus, please, there’s something I need to tell you. It’s very important. I can’t say it on the phone. I need to look you in the eyes when I say it.” Mekus hesitated, clearly remembering the hurt she had caused him. But Lily did not give up. She begged until he finally agreed to see her that weekend.
When Saturday came, Lily dressed carefully, though her heart was not settled about the visit. She kept rehearsing in her mind how she would start the conversation. The taxi ride to Mekus’s new place felt longer than the first time she visited. When she arrived, she stood outside for a moment, taking a deep breath before knocking. The door opened, and Mekus stood there looking different—stronger, more confident. He stepped aside to let her in.
“Thank you for allowing me,” she whispered, stepping inside. The beautiful new apartment is filled with fine furniture and modern decorations.
She walked slowly around the living room, taking in the details. Everything looked new and well arranged. The cushions were soft, the curtains bright, and a big flat-screen TV stood on the wall. On the dining table was a bowl of fresh fruit. She could smell the faint scent of air freshener in the room. Lily turned to look at him and smiled faintly. “You’ve done well for yourself, Mekus,” she said sincerely. “You didn’t give up on life, even after I gave up on you.” Her voice trembled slightly, guilt hiding under the compliment.
Mekus just nodded with a calm face. “Life moves on, Lily,” he said simply. “When people leave you, you can either stay on the ground or get up and work harder.” His words hit her, and she could feel the weight of her choices pressing on her. She nodded slowly, unable to respond. Mekus offered her a seat, and they both sat down. He poured her a glass of water, and for a moment, the silence between them was almost too heavy to bear. Lily knew it was time to say what she came to say.
“Mekus, I am pregnant… and it’s your child.” She watched his face, hoping for even a flicker of softness, but instead, his eyebrows lifted slightly in surprise. Then, slowly, a cold look filled his eyes. He leaned back in his chair and shook his head.
“Lily, I haven’t touched you in months. How could the baby be mine?” His voice was calm, but there was disbelief in it. She opened her mouth to speak, but he raised his voice, stopping her from saying anything else.
“You left me for another man. You were ready to marry him. You slept under his roof. Now, suddenly, you’re pregnant and you come to me? No, Lily. I know what you’re trying to do. That child is not mine. You’re only here because your plan with the other man failed.” His words were like sharp stones thrown at her. Lily shook her head desperately.
“It’s not like that, Mekus. I made mistakes, yes, but the baby is yours.” She said. He stood up before she could finish.
“I don’t want to hear it,” Mekus said firmly, his voice now carrying anger. “When I was struggling, you couldn’t stand by me. You didn’t believe in me. Now that I am getting my life together, you come back with stories. You think I will just accept a pregnancy I know nothing about? No. I will not be part of your lies, Lily. I built this new life for myself, and I will not let you drag me back into pain.” He pointed toward the door. “Get out of my apartment.”
Lily’s eyes were filled with tears. She stood slowly, her legs feeling weak. “Please, Mekus… if you ever loved me, just hear me out.” Her voice cracked as she took a step closer to him. But Mekus didn’t move, didn’t soften. “I did love you,” he said quietly, “but that was before you showed me how little I meant to you. Love cannot survive in a place where there is no respect and no truth. You made your choice, Lily. Now, live with it.” His words left no room for argument.
Her chest felt pain as she walked toward the door. Her vision was blurry with tears. She wanted to say more, to explain everything, but she could see it was useless. Mekus’s mind was closed, and nothing she could say would change that. She stepped outside, the warm afternoon air hitting her face like a reminder that the world had moved on without her. Behind her, she heard the door close firmly, the sound echoing in her heart. She stood there for a moment before slowly walking away with regret.
As Lily walked down the street, she knew that she had lost him completely. The man she once thought was too poor for her was now living the life she had wanted—but without her. And the man she had chosen over him had rejected her as well. She had gambled with love and lost everything. With each step, the reality sank deeper: there was no going back to the way things used to be. Mekus had closed his door, and she had no choice but to face the consequences of the choices she made.

Lily stayed indoors for many days, unable to eat well or smile. Her heart was troubled and pained. She thought getting back into Mekus’s life would be easy. She imagined that once he heard she was carrying his baby, he would open his arms and hold her close again. She thought the news would melt his heart and make him forget the past. But the reality was far from that. Mekus had sent her away without mercy. The rejection cut her deeply. Every morning, she woke up hoping it was all just a bad dream, but it wasn’t.
She would sit on her bed, sad and lost in her thoughts. Tears would gather in her eyes without warning. The shame of being rejected by both John and Mekus weighed her down. She thought of removing the baby, but her heart wouldn’t allow it. Deep inside, she wanted to be a mother. She placed her hands on her belly and felt a strange mix of fear and love. That night, she made a decision to visit John again. She believed maybe he could help her fix what was broken with Mekus.
The next day, Lily went to John’s house and explained everything. She told him, “Mekus has rejected the pregnancy. He doesn’t believe it’s his. He chased me out like I was nothing.” Her voice shook, and her eyes pleaded with him. “Please, John, I need your help. Come with me to his house. Maybe if you speak to him, he will listen.” John looked at her for a long time, then finally nodded. “Alright. We will go together,” he said. They agreed on a date. Lily felt a small spark of hope, but her heart still trembled.
That night, Lily could not sleep. She kept turning from side to side, thinking of how the meeting with Mekus would go. She was scared of another rejection, but she wanted to try. The following day, her restlessness grew. She decided she couldn’t wait for the agreed date with John. She wanted to speak to Mekus on her own first. Maybe if she reached his heart before John came along, things would be easier. She took her phone, searched for his workplace, and set out to find him.
When she reached the place, she saw him busy, speaking with some customers. She stood at a corner, waiting patiently. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the past. When he finally noticed her, his face changed slightly, but he didn’t chase her away immediately. She walked closer and greeted him. “Mekus, please, can we talk?” she asked softly. He hesitated, then nodded, leading her to a quiet corner. She took a deep breath and began to remind him of their old days together.
“Mekus,” she said, tearfully. Do you remember when you had nothing? I was there. I helped you pay your bills. I stood by you when you were just a taxi driver. I never looked down on you. I believed in you when others didn’t. I was there when you needed someone.” Her voice broke as she spoke. She hoped her words would open a door in his heart. She watched him closely, looking for any sign that he might forgive her.
Mekus listened quietly with his arms folded. After a moment, he sighed. “Lily, I will not lie. You were there for me. You helped me in so many ways, and I will always appreciate that. But you changed. The day you left me for another man, something inside me broke. You made me feel I wasn’t good enough, and that pain stayed with me for a long time. Now you want to come back with a pregnancy I know is not mine. I can’t accept that.” He said.
Lily reached out to touch his hand, but he stepped back. “Please, Mekus, I made mistakes. I regret everything I did to hurt you. Just give me another chance. I am carrying your child. This baby needs you,” she pleaded, her tears flowing freely now. Mekus shook his head slowly. “Lily, the truth is, I don’t trust you anymore. You’ve already shown me what you can do when someone better comes along. I won’t put myself through that pain again.” His words made her feel like the ground was giving way beneath her feet.
For a few seconds, neither of them spoke. The only sound was Lily’s quiet sobbing. She could feel people walking past, but in that moment, it felt like the world had shrunk to just the two of them. Mekus finally looked away and said, “I think it’s best if you leave now.” Those words were like a final nail in the coffin of her hope. She nodded weakly, wiping her face with the back of her hand. Without another word, she turned and began to walk away slowly with tears.
By the time she reached the main road, Lily could no longer hold back her crying. She stopped and covered her face with her hands. People glanced at her but kept moving. She felt alone in the world, with no one to hold on to. The baby inside her was the only thing keeping her from giving up completely. She knew she had reached a point where only God could help her. As she wiped her tears, she whispered to herself, “I will not give up. Somehow, I will find a way to convince Mekus."
