I glanced through his teary eyes and felt some pity.
“Am sorry for being the cause of ur pains, I never dreamed to pay ur back with…..” I was still talking when he hugged me so tight and heaved a sigh of relieve.
“I love u Debby and it get why pls” he said with much sincerity.
“Thanks, I have to take my leave now before my child start looking for me” I said as an excuse to leave and he agreed.

Chinaza has grown into a beautiful child, she is now 3years and was already in primary 2 class and was doing so great.
Doctor Richard never stopped buying something for her and me. It was Chinaza’s 3years birthday, after the indoor celebration Richard took me out to drink.
We spent much time and went to a lonely garden, just me and him.
“I once had a sister called Sarah”he said with a low tune.
“What happened to her?”I asked with much attentiveness.
“She was raped when she was eighteen years by two guys and got pregnant on the process.
My parents was so Kindly ashamed of keeping her with the pregnancy because of the shame she may bring to our family. My father and mother conspired and decidedto abort the pregnancy. It was on the process of the abortion that Sarah died?”he explained with much pain.
Gosh! What pain? The most foolish thing a lady can do is the risk of abortion, even when the person responsible for the pregnancy denies it, keep the child u don’t have anyone’s life in ur hands.
Abortion is not the best alternative of retaining uryouthful age, it’s a curse and one of the most sinful act that cries to God with pain.
“So sorry, pls forget about it baby” I consoled him.
“I tried getting the pain over me but it was so hard for me to do so, Deborah was my childhood friend then and she never stayed away from me. She advises me to be strong, it was during the pain and the mourning that I pregnanted Deborah. My parents did all the marriage rite and we wedded legally. During delivery, she passed out with the child and i decided to remain single for the rest of my life till that day I set my eyes on u Debby” he said with much pain.
Gosh! What a tragic departure?
May we never witness any untimely death in our families?
“Am sorry hunie” I said and kissed his lips seductively.
“I never thought that i can love again till I met u Debby, I am here with this sign asking, will u marry me Debby?” He asked with a golden ring in his hand.
