Episode 8
The test results showed that her womb
was damaged in the process of abortion
so her womb is weak and won’t be able
to accommodate another child after this.
She opted for an operation, that she will pay
any amount the doctor asks for but he
refused saying it’s not about money but
the danger she will be putting herself
and the baby.
The worst part of it was that she tested
positive to the deadly Hiv/Aids disease,
I opened my mouth in shock as tears flowed
down her eyes. I couldn’t help but feel
sorry for her,I consoled her in the best
way I could think of even though I know
it was of no use crying over spilt milk.
The deed has already been done and
can’t be averted.
I went home that day with a heavy heart,
I couldn’t believe something like that could
happen to Sandra of all people,she always
seem to be in charge of her game whenever
we go out for business. I couldn’t sleep
that night as different thoughts ran through
my mind,I was contemplating if I should
continue with the runs business with or
without protection? I decided against the
protection of a thing as I concluded I will
stick to one partner. I got a call from my
mum the next day,she and my dad wanted
to see my boss so they could thank him
for everything he is doing for me,I argued
with her that there wasn’t any need for
that but she insisted. I agreed to it so she
won’t start suspecting me or anything.
I began to think of who I will ask to pretend
to be my boss and show my parents that
am actually working for a company. I decided to
call Alhaji suleman,he has a company
not far from campus and I could ask him for
this favor which I know he will readily
agree to,he has been begging me to come
service him but I keep dodging him because
he wasn’t handsome to my taste.
I went
to his office to tell him about it and he
agreed after I promised to spend a week
with him at his beach house in the island.
