I realized I was a month pregnant after the incident.. Oo! God I'm pregnant.. I said.. My grandfather who promised to send me to study in Oxford couldn't bare the news that I was pregnant and at just that moment he fell down and was sent to hospital but later came home suffering from a stroke making his loss his position at work... My parents who were leaving in abroad but had made a plan to supprise me by coming back home unannounced were on their way to my grandparents house when they heard the news and my grand father's position accidentally had an accident..
I went on to tell David about my pregnancy and the misfortune that has befall on my family in tears .He told me he had won a scholarship to study in a university in New York, and so he is pleading with me not tell both my family and his family that he was responsible yet.He claimed that if I did he might not get the needed support from his family to make the trip to New York for his studies... But I shouldn't worry cause he has accepted his responsibility... But that was only before me.. He also promised, he would write to my grandparents and own up to what he had done on his arrival New York. He even claimed he would send me some money in care of me and the baby and all that... Not knowing they were all lies.
The funny part was,I kept my pregnancy to myself, and even went back to school carrying my baby in my tummy when school reopened. It was later, when my mates became suspicious, that I made up an excuse and left the school. So I came home and that was when grandma who was the first found out of my pregnancy the moment I got home and started asking me questions.. After trying to avoid her questions for a while, I admitted I was pregnant but I refused though, to say who the father was. That was when grandma dragged me to grandfather to tell him I was pregnant, hoping he could get me to reveal who was responsible.... That was how grand father got the stroke and I lost my parents who I have never had personal contact with over five good year. ..
I don't know why I protected him at that time,he left me alone to suffer through all this pain without keeping to his promise after he got to New York. I was such an ignoramus!...I wrote to David if he had reached safely, he replied it just to boast to me that he is in New York... I wrote to him again and again but got no reply again, so I gave up and resolve to forget about him... He betrayed me, destroyed my family and ruined my life. This were the words that kept hunting me in my sleep whenever I write to him and gets no reply... I realized, sometimes love bring us flowers then it builds us coffin.. had I known is always at last...
