My mother opted for abortion by my father
disagreed, he said I was going to give birth to the
child and carry the shame form the rest of my
life. Give birth to a bastard? A child that has not
father, my father said I couldn’t live with him
anymore and during this period he was elevated from assistant pastor to pastor. He sent me to
the village to go live with his mother, my
grandmother in Delta state. My mother wasn’t
happy about the decision but I had no choice
than to accept my fate. 2 days later, I packed
my things and moved to the village, to live with my grandmother. They don’t want the street and
the church members to know about my shameful
pregnancy.
I finally relocated to the village, my
grandmother’s place in Delta state. My brought
me to the village, he explained everything to my
grandmother. She wasn’t happy about it neither
was she ready to despise me like my parent.
Living with an old woman was hurtful, I cried day and night, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, but my
grandmother was always by my side to comfort
me and encourage me, she would advise me,
satisfy me just to make me happy. My
academics was put on hold, my life was ruined,
so happy with myself. I went through a lot, hell, it wasn’t easy for me. I would go to the arm with
my grandmother, carried firewood, cooking with
firewood, grinding pepper on stone, doing all
these hard chores with my growing belly. My
parent hardly send money for my upkeep, I dare
not call them to send me money or to complain. I just had to adjust, I would help me grandmother
to sell her wares, she’s jack of all trades, she
sells everything, I wonder how she combined
them, at some point I got frustrated, it wasn’t
easy. I had no friends, I used to keep some
friends in the village cos we do visit home every Christmas but I just had to avoid them cos I was
ashamed of myself, moreover I was pregnant so
would want to make friends with a wayward
pregnant girl. There was one dude in the village
that we used to have sex every December time
me and my family visit home, he was my village boyfriend. A local champion but he was student
of Delta State University and the side is also
cute. His name is Martins, my village boyfriend
back then before I got pregnant.
Martins was still friendly, despite the fact that I
was pregnant for someone else, he do come
visit me, to check on me. Each time I see
Martins, I was never comfortable talking to him, I
was so ashamed of myself. Talking to Martins
was like I should enter the ground, I tried avoiding each time I see but he just won’t back
off. We became friends sort of, o the extent that
villagers though he was having sex with me,
