The final episode
"He is the one"The girl said
again pointing at me.I was too
dumbfounded to speak.I
couldn't believe this was
happening.
"He impregnated you"her
mother asked pulling her hair.
The poor girl nodded as she
cried out in pain.
I stole a glance at my father
and found him looking at
me.Other eyes were also on
me.
"Who?"i heard myself ask
chika,the girl in question.
"You you.you did it.that day
you took me to the bush close
to the school"Chika explained
firmly.
I was so ashamed of myself.I
knew she was telling the truth
but i must never admit it.
"what is going on here?"my
father asked asked harshly as if
he was just coming out.
"Didn't you hear what my
daughter said? Your useless
son impregnated my
daughter"Her mother fumed.
My father couldn't believe it.He
thought it was a joke all this
while.
"Johnpaul!"my dad called.I
turned to look at him with fear.
"Is it true?"he asked.
I shook my head negatively.
I had to do that.I didn't know
what will become of me if i
accepted.
"You are lying.go and look for
who impregnated you"my
mother cut in,referring to
chika.
***.::::.***
The doctor handed the test
results over to my father.I
knew the test will find me
out.At first,i had refused to
come to the hospital but he
forced me.My father almost
beat the living daylight out of
me.
Chika had to come with us.Her
mother said the child must
never be aborted.I was full of
shame.I couldn't bear the
thought that i now am going
to have a child soon.I equally
knew some people would
address her as my wife.
After that incident,i started
thinking of a way to break free
from what i was addicted
to.The more i tried to stop,the
more i indulged in it.It had
sunk into my blood.I had come
to see why drug addicts can
not break free from drug.The
more you try to stop,the more
the urge increases.
I had stop schooling.I couldnt
face the shame at school
anymore.
Few months after chika
delivered the child,another trouble came calling as
another
woman came with her
daughter.She claimed i had
impregnated her and i knew
she was telling the truth.
Keneth and kelvin were still
single.Osaruguewas still
single but i have two girls or
should i say wives under my
disposal.
My life turned upside.I
molested almost every girl that
came my way.
I hated myself.I tried
everything to break free from
the problem i was into but all
trials to no avail
.
.
.
That was how it happened and
now i have no other option
than to end my life.I was tired
of the shame i always got into.I
must hang myself and it has to
be this nigh.Nobody can stop
me.My two victims has gone to
sleep.The clock on the wall
made me realise its 11.20pm.
I took the rope and set out to
fulfil my mission.
I had tied the rope to the tree
branch somewhere around the
compound.As i made to put the
rope on my neck,i heard my
father running to me,shouting
in the darkness of the night.
Soon,i saw my mothers and
siblings coming.My father's
shouting must have woken them up.
I started crying.I explained everything that has been happening to me
to them,right from the day the television was brought into our house.I
never knew my step mother would forgive me for stealing her money.
My father blamed my mothers for everything while they blamed him in
return for not always being around.
My father told me that they all loved me and would be sad if they lost me.
He told me he would help me get over my problems.I prayed his
strategies works.I want to be free someday.Physically,mentally and
emotionally.I want to look at the opposite s-x and not feel guilty.I
want to log into the internet without visiting p–n sites.I want to be
free.
I believe my father would help me.And i also believe God will also
play a part to rescue me.
THE END
