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 lay on my bed 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 presenting the father of my unborn baby.. or should I just abort 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 ABORTION!!!!!” I said not knowing I said it out loudly.
The door opened.
“Abort…what? What did I just heard you said? What happened? What are you aborting?” I heard Hannah said jolting me out of my thoughts and scaring me at the same time.
“I…no…I…well… welcome.” I stammered.
“Of course I’m here already. 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 aborting?” She asked again and I quickly 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-rgin and 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 senses? Were you drugged? Were you drunk? 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 bursted into tears.
“Because I love him. Because he’s a doctor.” I said and I don’t know where the slap came 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 brainless. 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 sleeping with him…even without protection. 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 brain 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 making 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 already. 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 through 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!

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