Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18
For the rest of the week i was run down by
fever. I couldn’t stand erect and had to lay on
my bed while my mom did all her quack
prescriptions for me. I wasn’t getting better
and worst still, i had to stay at home alone
when everyone else leaves for work. Amara
who could have looked after me was sick too,
not as much as i was but it was something.
Chinaza’s love for me seemed to be rekindled
at that point in time. She would stay around
me, prepare special dishes for me and force
me to eat them cos even though i made
requests for those foods, i didn’t have the
appetite to eat them. She spent most of her
time tending to me.
On the third day, i noticed rashes were coming
out of my body but i didn’t border much about
it, i named it heat rashes and not until the
fourth day that it also showed up on Amara’s
body that i was freaked out.
I had always known there would be
repercussions for my Sekxual promiscuity but i
never expected it to be STD.
Even though i don’t usually use protection, i
had always thought i was immune to all those
STD stuff. I began going lean back to back
and i lost interest in anything around me.
I soon began to expect Naza to fall ill too and
i wasn’t disappointed. Hers started lightly
although there were no spots on her body, she
was down with fever and often coughed.
I silently prayed to God every minute and
swore with my manhood that should he take
all this away from me, i would never ever
stare at a girl twice in fact that i won’t even
have a girlfriend.
I had confided in James who at first laughed
and said i was being too serious until i told
him about Amara and Chinaza. He then
suggested i asked each of them if they were
fukking anyone behind me. I had questioned
Amara about her Sekxual activities and she
had sworn she only had S£x with me all her
life. I didn’t even dare broach the topic with
Naza or the whole of our neighborhood would
have heard about it since i’m obviously the
one circulating the strange illness. I kept
thinking of all my recent escapades and trying
to see which of the girls was likely to have
given me the disease.
I didn’t have to look around much.
At exactly 12am on the sixth day, Cynthia
called me.
“Hey baby” she seemed excited over the
phone.
“Wassup” i said weakly
“I’m fine, just missing you”
“Thank you, so why are you calling me this
early morning?”
“Nothing much, just wanted to make sure you
are ok”
“Well, i’m sick” i said
“I thought as much” she said and i became
suspicious.
“What does that mean?”
“well, i got sick and went for a test, i was
diagnosed with staphylococcus, anyway i’m
undergoing treatment and i think I’m getting
better. Just thought you should know”
I was sweating as she was talking.
“Cynthia you came to my house and gave me
std? I asked not knowing if i was crying or
not.
“Baby its not like that, we are not even sure
if you were not the one that gave it to me,
you know we both aren’t saints” she said and
laughed, she sounded so carefree which is
more than i can say for myself.
After we dropped the call, the questions that
kept hitting my mind was how i was going to
tell my people i had contacted an std and had
transferred it to Chinaza and Amara….
AMARA …. I cried in the darkness and prayed
God to cleanse me of my iniquities. I was
almost close to swearing that i would quit
school and enter the seminary should he save
me from the shame i was about to bring to
myself.
As if that wasn’t enough, the next morning,
Chinaza walked in looking a bit better but her
face was all moody.
“Whats wrong with you? ” i asked her.
” Chinecherem I went for a test ”
My heart sank as i waited for her to tell me
about the Std, i was sure she was going to
raise hell for me.
” And what did it say? ” i asked with my heart
pounding like a mortar.
” I’m 2 months pregnant ” she said looking at
me. At this point i didn’t know what was going
on in my mind, i didn’t know whether to be
glad she wasn’t infected or to freak out about
the pregnancy. I just decided i was in in deep
shhit either way. We spent over 3 minutes
staring at nothing without talking.
Chinaza got up from the bed and left without
exchanging any word. I know I would marry
her for sure, i mean i wasn’t going to abort
my own baby, i loved naza and i wasn’t going
to regret marrying her but the disease that
was in me, what if naza had it too and some
way it affects the baby.
I just wished my whole life was a dream as i
la!d on my bed and cried. My Penance had
decided to come together in a day and i would
rather die than face it. I soon began
contemplating suicide but i loved my life and
wasn’t going to leave all these fine girls
behind. I hadn’t even driven my dream car, a
Lamborghini.
I was in my room still mourning myself when
Amara came in and sat besides me on the
bed.
She bent and kissed me. In my mind i was like
“The staphylococcus you get never do you,
maybe you wan collect aids join am too” i
thought but I was too weak to speak.
“Neche don’t worry, we found out its just
measles that i got from Chioma my friend and
you caught it” she said and smiled.
I jerked up from my bed feeling partially
healed.
“Are you sure?” I asked her not knowing
whether to kiss her or to verify.
She nodded. I grabbed her and kissed her so
passionately. Chinaza walked into my room
just as we had disengaged and with a wide
grin on her face shouted “APRIL FOOOL” .
Confused i checked my phone and the date
was April 1.
My full healing was like a miracle…..
