After my madam told my boss that am the one responsible for the pregnancy. How can you do such a thing with him? Said my boss with a harsh voice.***

Madam: then who else would i have done it with if not him or should i go out and contact infection,

Boss: atleast you would have consult me first and we will discuss the issue earlier.

Madam: i do this for the benefit of you and i. I just did it with him bcos i knw that tommorow he wouldnt come back for it.

Boss: how are you sure he was not aware that he is responsible for this.

Madam: he asked me the other day, if am pregnant bcos my stomach was getting bigger….

Boss: and what did you told him?

Madam: i didn’t give him any reasonable answer.

Boss: that’s good. Don’t open up to him about the pregnancy.

Madam: how can i that. I wouldn’t ooo… *** they changed topic. I stood there for some minutes inorder to comfort myself so that they wouldn’t knw that i heard their conversation.

I quietly went back to the gate and opened it,i looked outside the gate and closed it with a loud noise so that when they heard it,i will seems as if i was just coming in.

I entered the house, i saw my boss in the sitting room with my madam, they were seated separately. Everywhere was so quiet. I greeted my boss and immediately i turned to greet my madam, our eyes met, i moved my eyes aside and greeted her. They responded wella. My boss asked me, how was today’s market and i told him,it’s ok. I entered my room.
That night,my heart was troubled. I didnt see Jenny through out the night.

In the morning when i prepared to go to the market,
i told my boss that am about to go. So he told me that he is traveling to the village that he was called yesterday. He told me to take care of the shop.
I left to the market.

Bathlomeo and i started co-operating the way we use to before. When i sat on my chair, i was still troubled about Mrs sharp sharp. I broughtout my phone and dialled her number and it was still unavailable. I called my junior brother Emmanuel to enquire from him.
He told me that Mrs sharp sharp has been transfered to another school. that he doesn’t knw the school he was transfered to. I became weak after the call.

Some minutes later, Amanda and Ijeoma came to market. That day, Amanda came with food so in the afternoon she brought it to my table for us to eat. I told her that i don’t want to eat anything * i was just scared of her. U knw Niger babes,dey can do undo atimes * she started forcing me, i ate it bcos Ijeoma joined her.
In the evening, we parted in our various house.

When i entered our house,my boss wasn’t in. I greeted my madam and entered my room.
After some minutes,she called me to her room. I came and stood at the entrance of her room. ”Aunty, you called me” i said.

She told me to come in and i told her that am not coming.
* the way she shouted on me on that Sunday she told me to cut tomatoes was still hurting me so that’s why i gave her that response. *

Madam: come in now..

Me: aunty,am hearing you.

Madam: * with a calmed voice please just come inside. i entered and stood aside with a lumped face. why are you sad? i didnt utter a word to her am sorry for using harsh words on you the other day. Do you knw the reason why i did that? i looked at her * i do that bcos my hubby was around. If i didnt do that,i will be remembering how we normally spend night together and you knw what it means.

Me: ok,but it shouldnt be that way,it hurts me alot. No problem, where is Jenny? i havent seen her since yesterday when i came back.

Madam: she went for her jamb result since yesterday.

Me: alright. Aunty, i still want to repeat the same question i asked you before.

Madam: yes, go on….

Me: are you actually pregnant?

Madam: is there anything wrong with that?

Me:no, just that i want to knw.

Madam: am i not married, ofcourse i do.

Me: aunty,yes or no.

Madam: yes i am. Are you satisfied now.

Me: not yet. Aunty, let’s be realistic, you and i knw very well that your hubby wasn’t responsible for this pregnancy you are carrying. So aunty,who has this baby you are carrying?
