I AM A VIRGIN

Episode 3

How I got home that day was a mystery to me because I was disorganized all through the drive home. Luckily for me, I met no one at home so I went straight into my room to cry my eyes out.

Moses was my first love, he was the one that taught me what love is all about. Now, he is still the same person who taught what heartbreak is all about. That night, I wept sore, I thought about the shame of a broken engagement, the shame it will bring to the Pastor and his family.

That night was a tough and long one for me as a voice was screaming that there is nothing bad in sleeping with my fiance since our wedding ceremony is in a month's time. Another voice reminded me of God's commandment and the consequences of disobeying Him. The second voice reminded me of the covenant I made with God years back.

Few years after meeting Christ, I made a covenant with God that no man will see my nakedness save the man who I get married to then, I asked for grace to stay true to that covenant and He helped me.

How I scaled through that night was a miracle. I couldn't go to work the following day as I wasn't organized. To make matter worst, Moses parent had called the Pastor to let him know that they can't go ahead with the wedding.

The pastor invited me into his room to hear my side of the story. The pastor wife who never liked me because she felt I came to share her daughter's love spoke harshly to me.

Pastor: (disappointed) So, Deacon Ocha son is requesting that you commit fornication right?

Me: yes sir and I can't do that

Pastor wife: (with a raised voice) and why can't you do it to prove your innocence. I know you can't do it because you have messed up yourself with countless number of men. I don't blame Moses at all because he is simply watching out for his future. Sweetheart, better wake up and see the shame she will bring to us if this wedding doesn't hold again

Pastor: mummy, what do you want me to do now?

Pastor wife: the hospital result shows that she is no longer a virgin as she portray herself to be and if this gets to the ears of the Church, It will be disastrous. It is better she leaves our house before the matter get out of hand. God knows that we have done our best for her

Pastor: but why did you defile yourself? Does that mean that what we were told about you was true?? Funbi, I am not happy with you, in fact, I am disappointed. Go to your room, I will get back to you.

Getting to my room, it was like petrol was added to fire. I started crying again but who is the person spreading bad news about me? What is my offence? What have I done to deserve this inhumane treatment? Have I not suffered enough? When I thought things were getting rosy, things became tougher.

I took my purse and board a bike to Moses office. I needed him to break up with me face to face. Getting to his office,  his secretary hailed me then ushered me in to his office. Moses was so surprised to see me.

Me: hi, I won't take much of your time. I just want to clarify something

Moses: (scratch his head) okay, I am listening

Me: it's over right??

Moses: I am sorry but yes. You could have avert this break up by doing the needful

Me: (with tears flowing from my eyes, I screamed at him) just shut up, thank you for wasting three years of my life. I leave you all for God to judge

I gave him a disdain look and walked out of his office. I took another bike home to go nurse my official heartbreak. That day, I wished I had a family. I guess this is the diary of an orphan.

To be continued

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
