A True Story Of Two lovers In Relation To The Story Of A Boy And A Girl In The “Hills Like White Elephants” Written By Ernest Hemingway. Introduction The night was long gone as we could only hear the birds sing, yet it was a sad night for me and maybe for Wale because it can be difficult to predict the man when such situation arises. A very sad and emotional true story of two lovers like the girl and the boy in the story “Hills Like White Elephants” written by Ernest Hemingway. This Is My Story I was bleeding profusely in the middle of the night and this time I could not talk because I was weak. “I have been here from 10:PM, there is no improvement,” Wale said. “Should I call your parents or your sister” I still could not talk. Wale picked the phone and called my sister. “Hello dear, how are you feeling, do you want to see Dr. Aina?” my sister asked me on the phone but I could not respond, so she decided to speak with Wale. “Okay ma, I will call mummy to send a car and driver" "am not in the right sense of mind to drive” was Wale’s response to my sister. “Eby, Eby, I will call mummy to send us car so we can go to see the Doctor” “Hello ma, Eby is not feeling good" "she has been bleeding since I got here last night” Wale told mummy on the phone. At the hospital, all necessary tests were going on as I was taking drip. “What is the problem Doctor, is she okay” “Will she make it?” “Is the pregnancy still there?” “Doctor, please, I don’t want her to die” “She has been bleeding since I got to her place last night” Doctor Aina finally responded “she will be fine, it is just a matter of some hours” “What about the pregnancy” asked Wale" “do you really feel you are ready to be a father” but Wale kept quiet as Doctor Aina asked him the question. “I really love Eby but we did not plan the pregnancy” I was scared of losing her if I suggest we get rid of the pregnancy” “She is just three months gone” “Any time I remember she is pregnant I get confused because am not ready.” “Anyway, Eby is okay and the pregnancy is fine” said the Doctor. “Doctor, I thought Eby lost the pregnancy due to loss of blood” Wale said. Three days later, Eby was discharged from the hospital but two week after Eby was discharged, she went for another test to confirm the pregnancy but unfortunately Eby lost the pregnancy. Eby was devastated as well as her parents and other family members. Wale on the other hand did not show any form of loss rather he was just his normal self. A few days later when Eby went to visit Wale, she was surprised to hear what came out of Wale’s mouth on the phone with his friend. “I should be going to see her later in the day if I don’t see her here by 4:PM” “I hate to say this Pius, am so relieved that she lost the pregnancy” “I have lots of plans ahead of me and not child bearing” “I was only pretending” As a matter of fact I put a substance in her tea and food the previous day” “I only went to her apartment that night to confirm if the drug worked” “That was why it took me long to call her family members” Immediately Eby heard this conversation, she turned back and never returned to Wale. This is a true story that happened to me 2007 in Nigeria. I still want to have children and I know I will very soon.

I can imagine how desperate you were in that situation. Your story approves one more time how unashamed men can be.

Wow. This must've been so hard for you. I like that you have hope for a future with children in it and this accident didn't ruin your hope.
