Since that day henceforth, we started having S-x over and over again. Forgetting who am I. Forgetting where I c@m£ from. Forgetting about my parents and brothers warnings. Forgetting the daughter of who I am. Most especially, forgetting about God.
All my hope was that, at least he is a doctor to be. And we’ll soon graduate weeks away from now. And he has promised to take all responsibilities.
I was so happy.
All those times we make out, I don’t remind him to make use of protec-tion. I love it raw.
“Baby, you know I love you? And I will do anything for you. I will marry you,I promise you. I can never dump you.” Joel will always sing it to my ears and I will just be smiling looking at his lovely face.
One day, my mum called.
?Hello mummy ?
? Hello my daughter. Good day. How are you doing ?
?Fine mummy ?
?And Joel??
? We’re all good ma?
? How’s your friend too?
?We are fine, mummy ?
? Hope you haven’t forgotten about what I always tell you about keeping any relationsh!p? Especially with the opposite S-x. I hope you’re keeping to it??
I was trembling.
Has she found out? Why is she asking me this after I have alre-ady left the path she showed me? Mummy, sorry but I have to make my Joel happy.
? Grace? Are you still there? Why are you not talking??
?Ma… mummy. Of course…I can never forget about it. I love you mummy. Thank you.?
? Welcome my daughter. I love you too. I will call you later ?
? Alright ma. Bye. Regards to dad?
I said and quic-kly ended the call. I was breathing heavily like someone who just ran a marathon race.
Hannah asked me if I’m okay.
“Yeah… of course I’m okay. I’m alright he Hannah. Thank you.” I said faking a smile.
She nodded and faced her phone.
“How do I explained this? To mummy, daddy and my brothers even my friend! Hope I’m not done for like this? Ehh! God help me oh. ” I thought looking worried.
“Errm… Grace, you looked somehow. Your look this days is different from the other days. Hope you’re okay?” She asked.
“Haa… Yes. I’m fine. Nothing is wrong.”I quic-kly said.
She looked at me somehow…
“Are you sure you’re alright? See the way you’re even talking.” She said.
“Don’t mind me, I’m just sleepy. I should rest.” I said and rushed to the be-d.
.

Two days later..??
I was in be-d. It was so early in the morning. When I woke up that morning, I got the urge to visit the bathroom and throw up.
After throwing up. I went back to be-d.
In the next couple of minutes, I still rushed out to the bathroom again. For like five times. I thought Hannah was slee-ping. I don’t know she was pretending to be asleep and she’s watching my drama.
“Are you alright?” She asked the sixth time I went to throw up.
I was startled. I flin-ched back a little.
“Yeah.. I’m okay. I’m fine.” I replied.
She wants to talk again but I left her pres£nce immediately.
“I nee-d to visit the hospital. I don’t fall sick. Why is malaria now disturbing me so early in the morning.” I thought and bathed. I dressed up and went out.
I tried reaching Joel but his number was switched off. I thought he didn’t charge his phone. I decided to visit him after leaving the hospital.
“This malaria have to go first. I can’t die. I’m sure they will give me some medicine to use to st©p this malaria for me. I will visit Joel later”. I soliloquized as I walked on.

“After the test we carried out on you miss Grace. You’re two weeks pregnant.” The doctor said joyfully.
“What? How come? Are you sure it’s my result? I just had a little malaria. I expect you to prescribe some medications for me and you’re here telling me I’m pregnant. How’s that even possible?” I asked with mixed feelings.
“Doctor, your attention is nee-ded ma.” A nurse said.
“I have to go. Congratulations once again.” The doctor said and walked away.
“Huh? Is this a dream or imagination? I can’t believe this. Ehn? Two days to my graduation? I saw glory. I’m finally done for. How could I be pregnant before marriage? Yes, Joel promised to marry me but I don’t want pregnancy before marriage. Mummy has promised me an elaborated wedding ceremony. And that can only be done if I wasn’t pregnant before marriage. And here I am….with a pregnancy test. How will my mum react? What about my brothers? My dad?” I said as tears flowed freely from my eyes.
Then I remembered Joel promises. That means we’ll be getting married very soon after our graduation. What a relief. It’s not a shame anyways. I’m happy I have Joel.
I quic-kly put myself together and left the hospital to Joel’s place.
When I got there…
I entered and met no one. Absolutely no one. Not even a single soul. I was worried.
I asked someone I met outside..
“plea-se, do you know where Joel is? I entered his ap@rtment now and I didn’t see him.” I asked.
“Joel? Who’s Joel? Since my stay in this school, I haven’t heard about anyone named Joel.” The person said.
By now, I’ve been weeping. Is this really happening?
“Erm… Joel, he’s in medical dep@rtment. He sits with Treasure in clas-s. Can you remember that?” I asked.
“Treasure…? Ohh… treasure. Treasure is the only one sitting on that seat since I’ve been in this school. Treasure doesn’t have any seatmate. She sits alone. Or have you ever seen anyone with her?” The person asked.
“No ..but Joel do sit with her in clas-s. Yee! I’m finally done for. I’m dead alre-ady. My nummy oh.” I lamented.
“Sorry oh. Is something wrong? Who died?” The person asked.
“Thank you. No one died.” I said and entered Joel’s room again. Everything is vacant. Not even a tiny dirt.
I left as I made my way to my hostel.
Crying as I move. I don’t even care about those staring at me.

I was crying as I walked to my hostel not minding the eyes on me.
“How will I explained that Joel has dumped me like a used pad? Who will I explained to that he has used me? Who will believe me that love made me do all these? Joel… Joel…Joel…this is unfair!” I soliloquized as I moved to my hostel.
I went in. Thank goodness Hannah isn’t around. I went into the bathroom to shower. I took paracetamol to ease my aching head.
I l@yon my be-d facing the ceiling.
“Oh my God. I knew I’ve wronged you. I’m sorry. But…where is Joel? Let me see him…make me see him. Let me explain the situation to him. I can’t just tell my parents that I’m pregnant without pres£nting the father of my unborn baby.. or should I just ab-ort it? Yes! That’ll be the best decision. At least, I will save myself from shame. I can’t bear the shame ohh. My next step is ab-ortION!!!!!” I said not knowing I said it out loudly.
The door opened.
“ab-ort…what? What did I just heard you said? What happened? What are you ab-orting?” I heard Hannah said jo-lting me out of my thoughts and scaring me at the same time.
“I…no…I…well… welcome.” I stammered.
“Of course I’m here alre-ady. I was at the door and I overheard all what you’re saying. Are you……. pregnant?” She fired!
I shifted in fear and agitation…
“I…no. I’m not. How will I be pregnant? I can’t. You knew that.” I said faking a smile and looking away.
“That smile is fake. What the hell are you hiding away from me? Am I not your friend anymore? Grace!!! Tell me what is wrong with you this second!” She shouted…
“Calm down now. Don’t shout. Keep your voice low.” I managed to said slowly and calmly.
She sat beside me.
“Okay. I’m calmed. What is it? What is it that you’re ab-orting?” She asked again and I quic-kly regret ever thinking in that way.
“Errm…See…Se…Serah..hmm…Jo….Joel…is…has…left me. He’s nowhere to be found!” I unveiled it.
She held her head and shouted my name.
“Grace!!!! You’re pregnant for Joel? Joel got you pregnant? What the hell were you thinking then? I thought you said you’re a v!rg!nand you said you gonna keep yourself till your wedding night. What happened to that promise? What made you break it? Are you out if your s-en-ses? Were you drugged? Were you drun!k? Where is your head? Why don’t you use your head?” She asked angrily.
It’s up to that though. She’s pained. She felt my pains.
I bur-sted into tears.
“Because I love him. Because he’s a doctor.” I said and I don’t know where the sl@p c@m£ from. It landed on my left cheek.
“Hannah…?!” I said in pains.
“Don’t Hannah me! You this stupid girl. Oh my gosh! I don’t know you’re this dumb. I don’t know you’re this br@inless. I don’t know who told you guys are to be loved with all of our heart. In as much as you’re not yet married to any guy, you supposed not to love him this much to the extent of slee-ping with him…even without protec-tion. What if you have contracted disease from him?
Wait…why are you so dumb? Are you stupid?” She asked.
“Yes..I am stupid. Really stupid. Ohh! What will I tell my parents? My brothers? My family?” I lamented.
“You will surely let them know. No matter what. Thank goodness you’re graduating very soon. You won’t be make jest of too much. Truth be told, you don’t make use of your br@in at all.” She said.
My phone rang.
?Hello mummy ?
?Hello my daughter. How are you doing??
?Fine ma.?
?Are you okay? Is something wrong? Why did you sounded like that??
? Nothing mum. I’m okay. Just tired from the preparations we’re ma-king for our graduation ceremony ?
? Okay my daughter. Take things easy?
? Okay ma. Thank you.?
?My regards to Joel?
?Y…yes.yes ma.?
?Are you okay??
?Yes ma. Bye. Greet daddy ?
?No problem?
The call ended and I breath out.
“You just lied. Now, you’ve become a liar as well. Grace! Go now and tell your parents.” She said.
“That’s not possible now. I will try and do that after my graduation.” I said sadly.
“Alright then. Anyhow.” Hannah said. She stood up looked at me and entered the bathroom.
“My life…I can’t really define how is it right now! My parents reaction is scaring me alre-ady. I hate myself! I hate Joel. You’re strong Grace. You can do this!” I said to myself as I kept on crying softly.
“Just two days to my graduation oh Lord!!” I said wiping my tears.

It’s finally my day as everywhere looks colorful. Everyone with smiling face while I just faked my own smiling face . As we all outgoing students sat, I kept looking around in case I will see Joel. In cas he will just suprise me and emerge. But no, he didn’t. Joel was gone. Forever? The thought of it alone is killing me.
“Stay attentive and pay attention. Joel.is gone.” Hannah whispered to me softly as if knowing the thought running throu-gh my head.
..
..
..
The ceremony went well as I can now call myself a nurse. How sweet it would have been if Joel is really a doctor like he claimed. I’m disappointed.
My mum asked about him and I cooked up a lie for her telling him he’s busy lately.
The same thing as my brothers. I told them lies. Big lies. I followed my parents home after saying goodbye to Hannah promising to call me and plan how we will go about the matter on ground.
..
..
..
Ever since I’ve gotten home, I didn’t sit wherever my parents sit. I always locked myself up in my room. I knew they will he suspicious of my actions but I care not. I have to think of a way to tell them about this pregnancy before it shows itself.
After three weeks…my mum approached me asking me what’s wrong.
What should I tell her?
How will she react?
My God!
.

TBC..
Hmm…if you’re Grace’s parents, what will you do if eventually she tells you about her pregnancy?
