Gabe soon woke up, ignored my greeting, washed his
mouth and left the house without a word. I was terribly
scared because of the way he looked at me. I knew it was
just a matter of seconds before he kicks us out of his
room. I sobbed quietly as i lamented my fate. “My mates
are all with their parents, enjoying their lives and
planning for a brighter future. Here i’m suffering like a
refugee” i reasoned with tears. “only if i had listened to
him months ago and terminated my baby, i wouldn’t be
suffering in this manner” i said to myself bitterly. But
deep down in my heart i equally knew i rejected to do his
bidding because i couldn’t bear such guilt which would
have been terrible and unbearable. Winnie’s loud cry
soon calmed me. I quietly carried her, changed her
napkin, breastfed and sang a lullaby for her.
He came in that moment eyeing us. “have you packed all your
things?” he asked coldly. I swallowed hard and stared at
him pleadingly.
“please don’t do this to us” i begged, “we
are already managing well, i’ll start a trade very soon” i
added. He scratched his head uneasily and again eyed me
murderously, “do you call this life eeh? Abeg shut that
your dirty mouth” he barked, before grabbing all my
clothes which he dumped inside an old large bag, fetched
winnie’s things and equally dumped them in it. “here is
two hundred and fifty Naira {N250} it’s your transport
fare to your parents house, i have tried enough for you, i
won’t kill myself doing it mtcheeew” he muttered and
threw the money at me. Tears instantly fell
uncontrollably from my eyes, i had no where to go. I was
doomed, I dropped winnie on the bed, knelt and begged
him “please Gabe, please” i begged again and again,
but instead of my pleas to calm him, it infuriated him
tremendously. He slapped me hard, grabbed the bag and
threw it out of his room. “i will do the same to you and
this baby if you don’t leave peacefully” he threatened. I
stared at him heartbroken, and hungry, cursing the day i
granted him access to my body. The story of my love life
with Nnamdi really is a long one. An affair which never
should have happened in the first place had i ignored my
heart, because he really had nothing to offer me, yet i
foolishly fell in love with him. A very stupid teenage love
affair which i now regret. Love dosen’t work in an empty
stomach, neither does it work in an unsecured
environment. Gabe wasn’t in love with me any longer
because circumstances changed and he only saw me as a
burden to his miserable life. He totally ignored Winnie’s
cries, my pleas and our neighbours preachings as he
pushed us out of his house that fateful morning. A day i
was supposed to be happy because it was my birthday.
