Must Read: Pleasure And Pain

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.
