Previously on the Chronicles of Isioma: Kelvin came back home that day, looking very happy, got me flowers, presents, I almost thought he had won another contract until I saw him go down on his knees and there he was proposing to me to marry him. I couldn’t believe my eyes, my ears; in fact I was the most confused woman on planet earth. Kelvin still kneeling down smiling and expecting a yes was shocked when he heard me say, “I am HIV positive and Pregnant” Missed Episode 1-4? READ IT HERE

Episode 5;

Kelvin who was still on his kneels when I said that was smiling, he thought I was joking. ‘I know you are joking right?’ he said. ‘I am dead serious Kelvin (wearing a straight face but a little scared in her tone), I just found out today’ I said to him while handing the test papers to him.

My sister came into Kelvin’s compound and heard me crying, she came into the sitting room and rushed to hold me, she kept asking what the matter was, I couldn’t speak to her. “why did you leave home to come here, why are you doing this to yourself, Kingsley told me that you must be here, so I came here, what happened to you”.
