Continuation…..
Meanwhile…..back at uncle Sam’s house
Uncle Sam’s conversation with his friend, Tunde on the
phone…
“Guy! how far now?” Uncle Sam said.
“I dey oo. How you dey na?” Tunde replied.
“I’m good oo. Na wa see as you forget pesin. You go abroad, you no
con remember your guy”
“Ahn ahn! Sam! Sam! No dey talk like that na. I spoke to you like a
month ago. You know now, with work and all. I’ve been really busy.
But how you dey now? When we go receive your wedding
invitation”
“See my guy!!! Talking as a married man. Na because say you marry
Chioma abi. You’re now giving me the “get married” talk. Not
yet jare.”
“But guy seriously, you’re getting old oo. Your almost thirty and
you’re not even thinking about marriage. Shay you still dey follow all
those your babes.”
“No oo. Those ones are history. You won’t believe what that Cynthia
did to me. She chop my money, con waka.”
“Ehn but na you cos am. Didn’t you tell her you weren’t serious
about marriage yet.”
“Wo! E don do. I didn’t call you to give me all these talks oo. So

“They are all fine. Baby is turning one in two weeks sef”
“Are you serious? See my guy that just got married oo. Na wa oo.”
“That’s why I’m telling to start thinking about it. I mean, you’re a
successful banker, a smart guy and ripe for marriage. You’ve already
achieved a lot so why not look for a woman who will stand strong
for you. That will be your pillar. Okay see now, when I get home, I
know my wife has already prepared one of my favourite dishes.
When I want to you know, I know there is someone who won’t
turn me down. She has always been supportive with my decisions,
helps me avoid mistakes….”

“That was before oo. I’m not like that again oo. But It’s all good.”
“Yeah…okay now! I have to go, let me leave you to your “wife”. We
will talk later.”
Tunde laughs saying, “My guy!!! Okay now, we go see. Bye.”
“Yeah bye,” uncle Sam says ending the call.

Uncle Sam’s pov
“Wow, wow, wow, Tunde my guy! Who knew this man would be
happily married.” I said to myself after ending the call with Tunde,
my long time friend. I couldn’t believe that the same guy who used
to mess around with me while we were still in school could actually
get married. Back then, he used to say married men were weak men
and all of a sudden, he encourages me to settle down. Life is indeed
funny. I went into my room to take a shower. I needed to get out
of my suits. As I stepped into my room, the image of Meso flashed
through my mind. I never stopped thinking about her and all that
happened that day. I felt bad that I hurt her but I still wanted to
be with her. The more I thought about her, the more I desperately
wanted to see her. I shook it off my mind and told myself that she
was in the hostel. It wasn’t possible to see her like I used to. I
was even sure she would probably not want to see me if I did visit
her. I knew she was still mad.

Meso’s pov
Two weeks later, we had a guest speaker who came to talk to all
the students in the school concerning sex education.
“All boys and girls!!! Move to the multipurpose hall,” the senior
prefects said as they entered each class.
I needed to use the washroom so I left with Anabelle who decided
to follow me. When I got in, I shut the door behind while Anabelle
stood outside, waiting for me. As I pulled down my panties, I
checked to see if I was on my period. I had intentionally worn a
sanitary pad that morning because I was expecting my monthly flow
but to my surprise, It was as clean as I had put it on. I didn’t
think it was a big deal since the day wasn’t over and so I took a
pee and left the washroom to join Anabelle outside.
As we got to the multipurpose hall, we took our seats where other
junior students sat and a few minutes the speaker came up to the
podium. She started by introducing herself before proceeding to the
talk of the day. She spoke on a lot of issues relating to sex and
even though it was something that was repeated often, she said
something that struck me. She mentioned things regarding
unprotected sex, unwanted pregnancy, rape and that was when
my hears decided to listen. When she started talking on unprotected
sex, I recalled the day uncle Sam raped me. I remembered he didn’t
use a condom and that was when I wished I would instantly fall
down and die. I wanted to run mad. My eyes began to fill with
tears. It meant I was pregnant. That explained everything. Why I
hadn’t seen my period. Why I was always weak. I didn’t know what
to do as I was seated there. I stood up from my seat and decided
to take permission from the senior to let me leave the hall but she
told me to remain seated since the program was about to end.
When I sat down, Anabelle who had been sitting beside me asked if
I was okay. I nodded and pretended like there was nothing wrong.
She said, “Okay” and went back to listening to the speaker while I
kept on trying to remain calm. Who would I talk to? What will I
tell them? Just when I was thinking of all this. The program came
to an end and the lady speaker announced that If anyone needed
advice or anything of some sort to see her after the program. In
my mind, I debated whether to see her or not and concluded that I
wasn’t going to. I didn’t want anyone to know. They would have to
tell my parents and the whole school would find out. I would bring
shame to everyone. I couldn’t risk it. As the students marched out
of the hall to their various classes, I told Anabelle that I would see
her in class and ran to the washroom. I entered into one of the
vacant spots and shut it behind me. I cried my eyes out. I cried in
silence so that I wouldn’t be heard. I couldn’t believe that I was
going to have a child for my uncle.
