*PART EIGHT*

Two days after, I didn't hear from Gbenga. His number was perpetually switched off. My brief
moment of joy suddenly ended with worries and fears. Gbenga is yet to take me to his house or
take me to meet anyone. I can't find him anywhere in the world. Gbenga is not on Facebook or
any social media other than WhatsApp. Where will I look for the father of my unborn baby? My
hope of marrying a rich prince and liberating my family from poverty was getting darker by the
day without Gbenga. Only Blessing and Gbenga knew I was pregnant. I didn't want to tell anyone
until he fulfills some of the promises he made to me. My assumption was that it will be a
sweeter story if all those promises were handy.
Days turned weeks and I didn't hear from Gbenga. My life became more shapeless every new
day. Aunty Seyi would soon discover I am pregnant, what would I tell her? Who would I say is the owner of my pregnancy?Aunty did not know I have a boy friend because she has never seen me
with any. How will I explain to her that the man who impregnated me is nowhere to be found?
But why did God cut short my joy and replaced it with moment of sadness and fears?God is
partial. He does not love me at all. What have I done to deserve this suffering? Why is this thing happening to me now that I am about to finish my education?Why? Why? Why?
My Gbenga disappeared into thin air and no trace of him is found after one month as my
pregnancy advanced. What is wrong with you Prisca?Aunty Seyi asked because she noticed my
attitude recently and she began to suspect I was pregnant. Are you pregnant? She asked with
boldness. No ma'am I am not pregnant, I only have small malaria and I will be fine ma'am. On
my way from school today I will buy some anti malaria drugs. Who are you deceiving Prisca? I
knew you were pregnant since last month but I waited till this time to see if you will come and
tell me or not. I am a woman and I have been in this condition for three times so I know when a
woman is pregnant. If you are still lying about it then I will take you to the clinic for a test. I went
on my knees begging aunty Seyi. I am sorry ma, it was a mistake. Please forgive me, I
begged.
Who is responsible for your pregnancy?I knew this your school will bring something along. So
all the school you claimed you have been going, this is the certificate, she said pointing at my
tommy. It isn't a difficult matter, you have sacked yourself already. Abi you want me to harbour a pregnant woman in my house? A girl I engaged to take care of my house and children is now
carrying a child, how do you think you can cope?You just get yourself a new home, pack your
things and move in with him who impregnated you. You have three days to do that. I cried and
begged aunty Seyi to temper justice with mercy but all my pleas fell on deaf ears. If Mr Adeshina
was around, he wouldn't let her send me away.
After school the following day, I went straight to the church to tell the pastor what I have done
and how aunty Seyi had given me three days ultimatum to leave the house. He scolded me hard
and promised to talk to aunty Seyi. In all these, Blessing stood by me. Blessing tried all her best
to trace Gbenga but it was all a fruitless effort. She has been the one responsible for my
up keeps since Gbenga left me. Blessing herself was not that buoyant but she sacrificed all to
ensure I was okay,especially during my pregnancy. I began to miss lectures, I could no longer
concentrate on my studies again because of what I was going through. Exams were
approaching but I could not open my books for once. Everyone in our class began to know I was pregnant and it was mixed reactions,
maybe I should abort this pregnancy.

What do you think I should do?
