Chapter 2.

At Yemisis’s apartment.

“so you mean that guy has not been home for the past three weeks you have been going to his place?! “, Shade my friend said while I washed my clothes in the backyard.

“I just needed to know if all I heard was true”, I said as I sighed.

“That he has given his life to Christ?”, Shade asked

“I know my Bolaji, he would never do that to me after all we have been through together, I have aborted five times for him!… and now I am pregnant again”, I said and I could see the look of disgust on Shade’s face

“How could you have done this to yourself Yemisi? you are smarter than this..”, Shade said

“I love him…. “, I said with tears rolling down my face as I remembered how Bolaji got a transfer to Kano, I had been the one to pick him up at the airport and drove him to his new apartment, I can still remember the day he had picked me up from the cemetery after losing my dad, I could still remember how he told me he loved me and he has been praying to God concerning us , I can still remember…

“Yemisi”, Shade said and that brought me out of my reverie.

I could only look at her as I began to cry.

“If he has given his life to Christ, it only means we are over…., I’m a filthy rag Shade, I have no use in his life anymore, no one would love me again, not after all the damages I have done to my body”, I said as I cried

“You know what the doctor said, if I abort again, I would lose my womb as well, Bolaji wanted me to abort too, I didn’t care what I lost just to have him in my life, but now everything is over….”, I said crying and Shade came to my side and hugged me.

“Everything is going to be fine again”, Shade said and I cried the more
