Nancy left Nosa's apartment wishing never to see him again, but as the popular saying goes; if wishes were horses, beggers will ride. She had lost trust in the person she loves the most, and the only person she could turn to now was Jennifer.

She put a telephone call through to Jennifer to ascertain where she was at the moment, and fortunately, Jennifer was at the hostel. She then boarded a bike to hall II, inside the school metropolis where the female hostel was situated, and alighted immediately they arrived the place.

Nancy was strucked with anxiety as she managed to compose herself so that people do not find out what was bothering her. However, she finally got to Jennifer's hostel room looking worked out, her problem was too enormous that she couldn't erase it from her face.

"Babe! What's the problem, you look worried?" Jennifer asked immediately she saw her.

"We have to talk!" Said Nancy.

"Okay! Calm down, have a seat, and let's talk." Jennifer said trying to understand what the issue was.

"Not here.. I don't want the other girls to hear our conversation." Nancy said below her voice. "Let's go to the field, then I'll brief you about everything." She added.

They left the hostel room together and headed for the field where they eventually sat on a stand under a broad tree with shady branches.

"I'm dead!" Nancy said.

"How do you mean you're dead. You're still alive, and you won't die!" Jennifer countered her words with shock.

Nancy heaved a sigh of relief and began narrating her ordeal to her best-friend, Jennifer. Apparently, Jennifer was aware about the abortion from the onset, because she was actually the person who introduced Nancy to the clinic in the first instance, but what she didn't know was that Nancy went further to abort again, two more times, and now she was faced with the option of either aborting for the fourth time or not.

After all was said and done, Nancy revealed to Jennifer that she had decided to have the child, and not take the risk of aborting one more time.

"Are you crazy?! You're not serious about what you're telling me, are you?" Jennifer shouted obviously not impressed.

"Yes, I'm crazy! You can continue shouting from now until eternity, and nothing will make me change my mind." Nancy said.

"You'll do no such thing, my dear, people make mistakes, but it doesn't mean it's the end of life. There is no harm in trying one more time. You'll never know if you don't try." Jennifer said.

"And if I die, how then will I know?, See, I didn't come to you because I need you to talk me out of my decision. I came to you because you're my best-friend and I need someone to share my problems with. Atleast, you can do that by giving me words of encouragement, and not encouraging me to take the life of a child who knows nothing yet." Nancy backed herself up.

"Now you're making it seem as if you've not committed an abortion before, every young lady does it every now and then, personally, I've had an abortion six different times, and I'm still alive talking to you today." Jennifer made her see reasons why she should go ahead to have the abortion done.

"I know, but it's wrong, as in, for how long will that continue.. I don't wanna have an abortion anymore, what if I eventually lose my womb?" Nancy blurted.

"That's your problem. I'm not sure I wanna have a friend for now - who is with child." Jennifer suprisingly said, while looking at Nancy with a scornful eye.

"Are you denying me Jennifer?" Nancy said with shock.

"You can call it whatever you like, I'm out of here!" She boasted and walked away immediately.

Nancy was astonished beyond what words could describe, she never could have envision that coming. Jennifer was the least person she thought would ignore her, despite her predicament, which she did in the most unprofessional way.

Reality was beginning to appear before her. In a day, she had lost not only her soulmate, but also her bestie. The pain and shock from the things happening to her was so tangible that she couldn't predict who would deny her next. She slowly stood up reluctantly in a dejected form and began walking back home in a scattered state of mind.........

.......6.......

The scorching sun in benin-city, the boisterous noise, and the red dust had decided to wage their wrath on Nancy, who for no reason whatsoever decided to trek back home, and before she reached her house, she was already looking like a mad woman on the run. Anyone who saw her at that moment would surely know that there was something disturbing her. Finally, she arrived at her residence looking 'dustful', while her hair was scattered everywhere; just like the wind which did justice to her respectively. Unlike when she first left the house, she was now looking more confused than ever. Immediaetly her aunt saw her approaching, she halted to be sure whether her eyes were playing pranks on her or not, and indeed, they weren't.

Mrs. Osadolor rushed towards her daughter and sat her down, before rushing to get her water to drink. She had been worried ever since Nancy left home earlier with such a mudane look on her face, something deeply inside was telling her that all wasn't all right with her. Nancy was the only child that she had, and she loved her to pieces. Although, she had been married for ten years without her own biological child; when Nancy lost her father at a tender age, she filed to taking care of her, so that she could atleast have a feel of being a mother, eventhough she was yet to put to bed a child of her own. Ever since then, herself, together with her husband had been the ones sponsoring Nancy's education and also ensuring that her social well-being are met.

Mrs. Osadolor who was a Lecturer in the University of Benin had been mocked severally for her childlessness, and her students even attribute her strict attitude as being the cause of her problem. They fail to realize that virtually every woman occupying public offices tend to be strict. However, when outside the four walls of a classroom, she's a very reserved woman, who show value and care for people's feelings.

Nancy is among those people whom she so much love and care about, and she'll do anything to ensure that she's always happy.

Nancy had gone to take her bath, and also eaten to her satisfaction, and then her aunt who also act as her mom called her to the sitting room, where she narrated everything to her. In turn, her aunt was very furious about the situation, although, she knew that Nosa and Nancy were dating, but she didn't know that Nancy had done three abortions for him, and he also had the guts to demand for another. She then comforted Nancy passionately and assured her that everything would be all right, and that she wouldn't have another abortion, with or without the boyfriends's support.

Furthermore, she sternly warned Nancy never to see the boyfriend again, and also warned that he doesn't come close to the house to see her too. About her husband, an immigration officer who rarely stays at home, the aunt promised to break the news to him at the right time, and positioned Nancy to wipe away her tears, that everything would be all right.

Those were the heart touching words that couldn't come from someone who Nancy called her best-friend, but surprisingly came from her aunt, whom she had thought would be mad at her.

It seemed like everything was back to normal for Nancy, but then, the story is just about to take a new turn.........

Hello Clemzy, please I'd advise you stick to either Aunt or Step-Mom (I'll prefer Step-Mom tho).


Cos, an aunt has to be related to you biologically.

She can be calling her Aunt but she shouldn't be addressed as her Aunt.

Thanks!

I beg to differ a bit, I think using Aunt is best.. Mrs. Osadolor isn't Nancy step-mom, rather, she's the sister to Nancy's mother.. Perhaps, you misunderstood me.. Thanks anyway..

A WEEK AFTER

Nancy had drastically become more stronger. Emotionally, she had gotten over her ex-boyfriend whom she had not seen for the past seven days. Although, Nosa had made various attempts to reach her, but she disconnected every of his moves. After seeing that she wasn't answering his phone calls, he resolved to sending her series of love messages whilst begging her to come back to him, so that they could talk over the issue in a different way, but still insisting that she must have the abortion carried out. Nancy kept ignoring every of his texts, and refused to give a call-back either, but, on one faithful day, she decided to compose a text to him, telling him that she was no longer interested in the relationship, and that she was going to give birth to their child whether he likes it, or not.

Nosa wasn't happy reading the text, so he started sending her threat messages that she was gonna regret her actions by trying to blackmail him. All throughout that time, she kept herself in a confinement, by refusing to leave the house nor attend classes, and her aunt was solely behind her, always ensuring that she got everything that she needed.

Unfortunately, Nancy was going to write a continuous assessment test in two days time. On that particular day, she did leave the house to write the test. After the test had ended, she was on her way back home when she saw Nosa's car driving towards her direction, she wasn't sure whether he saw her or not, but she took to her heels, and ran as fast as her feet could carry her.

Immediately she got home, she told her aunt what happened, and the aunt advised her to travel far away from Edo state, only to return for her examinations, albeit, with tight security; as her safety was no longer guaranteed should she continue to wander about the school.

The next day, the aunt drove Nancy in her car to a motor-pack where she boarded a vehicle to live with her younger sister, Nancy's other aunt who was a single-mother that lived at Akure, Ondo state. Everything they did was done, without the knowledge of Nancy's mother.

Nancy changed her phone number so that Nosa couldn't have any connection with her henceforth.

They continued this routine for a period 1-Month, and when it was time for their exams to commence, Nancy came back to Benin to continue staying with her aunt, Mrs. Osadolor. Already, her pregnancy had developed to an extent that if she attempts an abortion, chances are that, she was going to lose her life.

Painfully, the next day, something very tragic happened........
