Episode 62
I stood up pacing the length of my room my mind
clouded with a million thoughts.
clouded with a million thoughts.
What in the world
have I gotten myself into? What am I going to tell
my parents? Thought she said that she could take
care of herself? Why now? So I am going home with
a pregnant woman at the end? How am I going to
handle this? Am I even ready to be a father or get
married?

These and a whole lot of other questions kept
flooding my mind. Walking into my kitchen, I
located a bottle of Mc Dowels and poured myself a
cup full, in one swift gulp I emptied the glass. The
heat of the drink burned through my throat down to
my intestine but after a little while, it made me feel
better.

Going back into the room, I laid back on the bed
drowned in thoughts of my recent predicament. I
didn’t know how or when I slept off but I woke up
to IJ banging at my net. Though I might have slept
for long but it was nothing that could be described
as a peaceful sleep. I left the bed to open the net
for her.

“Are you ok? I have been knocking for more than
five minutes now,” she asked as I surfaced at the
net.

“Sorry jare, I was deep into sleep,” I replied
unbolting the net.
“Purity what is wrong with you? You look messed
up, like something dragging in by the cart,” she
said walking behind me into the room.
“Yea, I am fine.”
“You don’t look it. What is wrong with you?”

“You don’t look it. What is wrong with you?”
“IJ I’m fine, just let it go ok?”
“Let what go? Fine if you say so but I don’t like the
way you are. Look at you, you look sick and pale.
You weren’t like this before I left. Have you eaten
anything?”
“Let what go? Fine if you say so but I don’t like the
way you are. Look at you, you look sick and pale.
You weren’t like this before I left. Have you eaten
anything?”
“No, I am not hungry.”
“What is wrong with you now? You are getting me
worried and uncomfortable.”
“What is wrong with you now? You are getting me

“IJ it is something personal that I need to sort out
myself ok. Don’t worry about me?”
After pressuring me to talk to which I didn’t, she left
annoyed to her room. Later on, she came back with
food, dropping it in the kitchen, she walked out
again.

After I ate. I laid back on the bed thinking over my
present condition. I had the urge to call Jenny and
tell her but decided against it, not until I access the
situation myself.

The rest of the day went by with me indoors. IJ
never showed up again. The night was one of the
worst I ever had. I couldn’t sleep for twenty minutes
at stretch without one silly dream or another. I also
noticed music playing from IJ’s room at interval
which suggested that she too might be having a
bad night. Amidst my thoughts, I prayed that
Precious wouldn’t do anything stupid.

The next morning, I packed few clothes and left for
Eket. I dropped a text message for IJ that I will be
out for a couple of days that she shouldn’t worry
about me.

about me.
I got to Eket around 9am and with the address she
sent to me, I located her abode without much
stress. I didn’t want to call her till I was at her door
step so when I got there, I called her to come and
open the door for me.
She came out looking pale and stressed with lines
of dried tears lining down her eyes. She looked at
me with swollen red eyes before hugging me. As I
held my hands round her, she started crying all over
again. Closing the door behind us, I held her while
she cried. I allowed her to pour it out over my
shoulder because when we will get down to serious
talks she wouldn’t need the tears.

Leading her back
into the room, I settled her on one of the sofas in
the sitting room. I sat beside her and wiped her
tears with my fingers before pulling out a
handkerchief to dry them off. We stared at each
other saying volumes with our eyes and none with
our mouth.
“Are you ok baby? You look pale and sick,” she
asked breaking the silence.
I chuckled before replying, “And you look worse.”

We laughed, probably at each other and at our own
predicament. She held my hands together in hers
looking into my eyes, she said.
“Baby I’m sorry I disappointed you. I didn’t mean
for this to happen, I took all the measures.”

“It has happened already. It’s not your fault, I
should have been more careful.”
“Ssshhh! It’s not your fault. It’s mine.” She said
placing a finger on my lips.
“Nah it’s our fault and the best thing for us now is
to find a solution to it.”

“Purity I don’t want to drag you further into this
anymore. I shouldn’t have even told you at first. You
have a good relationship going on for you now and
this can not come between that. I can handle this.”

“What are you saying? This is our thing now. You
are carrying my,” I hesitated before blurting out the
hard word, “Baby.” It sounded so heavy in my
mouth. “And that makes me responsible for this,” I
continued. “Shania is my girlfriend but she is not
carrying my baby yet so please, this is not
something you would have hidden from me because
if you did and I later find out, forgiving you is
something I wouldn’t have considered.”

She stared at me once again tears strolling down
her eyes. Drawing her closer, I held her by the waist
telling her that everything is going to be alright.
“You are not even doubting that it is not yours,
some other guys would have been running with their
heels touching their head,” she said her head still
on my shoulders.

“Precious for you to have called me first, I know it’s

alone in such condition.”

alone in such condition.”
She bursted out crying once again after I said that.
She cried for well over five minutes while I
consoled her. After she got herself under control, I
asked if she have had anything to eat.

She replied
in negation telling me that she doesn’t have
appetite for anything. I told her to go and clean up
in the bathroom while I see if I can fix something
for breakfast since I was hungry myself. We got up
from the sofa and headed to her room. she opened
the kitchen door on her way. When we got to her
room, I changed while she entered the bathroom.
