Could this be true?

Aunt Frida asked Aaliyah to relax her back on the bed by lying down straight, so she could be comfortable. Shortly after, her sister, Aaliyah's mom called to find out how her daughter was feeling. She told her she was doing fine, and she had given her some medications to make her feel better, and now.. she's sleeping. The mother felt at ease to a reasonable extent. And as soon as she dropped the call, she called her husband to inform her of their daughter's condition, and also let him know that she's getting better now.. so as to put his mind at peace. For he would not be able to concentrate on his work should he hear that his only child is not in a good shape. 

When Aaliyah woke up from her sleep, her aunt Frida came into her room to check up on her. She sat on her bed, very close to her, holding her hands and asking her some questions about what they discussed earlier at the restaurant. 

"Aaliyah baby... How are you feeling now..?"

"Fine thank you aunt Frida.. I feel a whole lot better now than the first time I came in from my deliveries. Please what happened to me..?"

"I should be asking you that baby, what happened to you..? I came in and I met you on the floor lifeless!"

"Oh my... Are you for real..?"

Frida narrated everything that happened to Aaliyah, and after that, she asked looking at her diamond necklace on her neck and touching it...

"Now girl, can you tell me who gave you this expensive necklace as a gift? Was it a man..?" 

"Of course not aunt! A female friend gave it to me for my hard work, and nothing else!"

"I do not know you to be a liar, since when did you start lying.. Aaliyah...?!"

At this time, Aaliyah became so frightened and she began to cry as her aunt's countenance changed into the mood of anger, asking her forcefully to tell her the person that gave that gift to her. And she threatened to collect it from her and show it to her mother. Out of fear, Aaliyah was just about telling her aunt the real person that gave her, when she remembered that the old woman told her not to tell anyone about it. So she kept quiet. 

Despite all said and done, including the threat that aunt Frida gave to Aaliyah, she still insisted it was a gift from a  female friend.  She had no choice again but to believe what Aaliyah said to her, and then she told her she would love to see that female friend of hers. Aaliyah did not know anything else to say to her concerning her request, but to accept to show her that friend of hers when next she comes around.

In the evening, after Mrs Meiying had returned from her restaurant, and her husband Mr Chin-Cheng had returned from work as well, they saw their daughter in good health, eating very well.. which showed that she was really improving health wise.  So they brought a very big bag filled with lots of fruits and vegetables, together with some specially made continental dishes.. both appetizers and main meals.. with lots of drinks... And they asked for Aunt Frida's assistance to help them bring the bag inside the house, while they called for a family get-together to celebrate their treasure's stable health condition. 

So much love and attention was given to Aaliyah just to help her recover fully. The table was set, and all the food and drinks were displayed by Aunt Frida on it, and Mr Chin-Cheng blessed every single thing there, and prayed for their daughter's speedy recovery. After that, they turned on the music for the real dance show to begin...

They all ate, drank and danced that evening as a symbol of celebration. Though it was just a little occasion with just four persons, but it was indeed a feast to remember...  

After they were done with the merriment, Aaliyah joined aunt Frida to clean up the entire place, but she refused, and insisted she seat back and relax. Despite that, Aaliyah still insisted she must join her and that she was fine already.. Aunt Frida had no other choice but to just let her do what she wanted. After all.. she is not a lazy person, but a very hard-working one at that! 

They cleared the entire mess in the room, and made everything well arranged again. After they were done, they all gathered in the living room again, and shortly after, Mrs Meiying began to feel dizzy. She complained to her husband that she could not see clearly.. and it was just like she was seeing things in double forms. The husband wondered what could be wrong with her, and asked her if she took some alcohol, but she said she did not. And moreover, she was fine when she came in at first. Not that they brought some alcoholic drinks along side the ones they just had. 

Aunt Frida and Aaliyah noticed how Mrs Meiying was acting, they looked at each other and wondered what the matter was. So they got up and walked up to her to find out what it was. Sitting beside her, she told them she could not explain how she was feeling, but the feeling was like that associated with the signs and symptoms of pregnancy. 

Everyone laughed, especially her husband, Mr Chin-Cheng.. because it was impossible for them to believe that after they had Aaliyah so many years ago, it would be impossible for her to be pregnant again. Especially at this time. Mrs Meiying did not say anything to them, but just thinking about what could possibly be her problem. After a while, she became okay, and they all relaxed themselves. 

Two weeks on... while they were busy arranging their home, and making jest of the whole show, the dizziness of Mrs Meiying's condition started again.. and this time, it became more serious! She was gradually loosing strength, and feeling so helplessly weak. Mr Chin-Cheng had to say, feeling frustrated already...

"What is all these for crying out loud! First it was Aaliyah, and now it's you...?"

They abandoned everything they were doing, and Aaliyah said to her father..

"Dad.. please calm down.. mom would be fine!"

"Please let's take her to the hospital at once cos she's loosing so much strength already!" Mr Chin-Cheng exclaimed in fear!
