Nnamdi 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 up 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 {#250} 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 Nnamdi,
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.
Nnamdi 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.
