You are simply awesome, and to think you are my namesake makes you super awesome
Something about your stories keep people glued to your threads.
Keep it up girl.

And I have a feeling that Constance aka Monkey's foster family is related to Dayo, somehow.

Ebere


I was still reeling from what Ify had said. How could she get between the sheet with someone who had inflicted so much pains on her, it was incomprehensible. I wished i could read her mind, see what was going on in her thoughts? what happened to her heart? She was always the fragile emotional one, quick to forgive and slow to anger. I would never know unless i was in her shoes, knowing death was upon her door must have changed everything.


" Ify, When will you give your dad a call?"

" Am not ready for that yet, i don't want any drama in my life now. I just want to be happy ".

" Okay. " She had become so different, she wanted everything her way and on her terms.

" You know nothing has changed".

" Everything has changed! you think twice before saying a single word to me! you are so careful not to hurt my feeling! How could you say nothing has changed!"

She was right and i felt so bad. I was only trying to make her happy. " Am sorry". I said, " I thought you would at least string Jeff along before striking but everything happened so fast and am still trying to wrap my head around it".

" I don't understand it myself"

I knew she had closed off on me. Again.

Days came and went, i avoided Chiboy like a plaque, it was like i had lost all my emotions except for one, terror, the terror was less about dying than it was about shame, degradation and reject. How long would it take Ebere to get tired of me? why should i contact my father? if they could abadon me when i was healthy why will they embrace me now? now that i am a carrier of a killer virus! my future was a hazy mirage, always ahead but untouchable, i knew my life would depend on medicines and doctors, when i looked in the mirror, i saw only horror, panic, unfulfilled desires and ultimate defeat.

I would never walk down the aisle, i would never experience that special morning sickness, i would never feel my b00bies heavy with milk. No little girl to braid her hair, no little boy to kiss when he skims his knee playing ball. My life was over, declared so by a simple blood test.

My AIDS specialist had found out that my T___ cells were only 200, i was prescribed AZT and DDI . The stares as i walked into the AIDS Unit every time was full of accusations and something vile and dirty, it makes me want to retch. Everyone feels sorry for you, you are automatically labelled a slut. I was encouraged to join some organizations that was sympathetic towards 'People like you'

" Hello" i was propped up in bed. It was all i do these days. " Good morning ma".

" How are you?" Chiboy' s mom asked.

I hadn't seen her in months.

" Chiboy told me about your condition yesterday. Ndo"

My heart squeezed. " Thank you ma".

" He said you want to call off the wedding "

" Yes Ma"

I heard her sigh in relief and i pinched my lips between my teeth to keep from crying.

" Ndo, God will see you through.....ewo! Why you na! Ehn! Why you! " she wailed.

I could see her in my mind' s eye, she was relieved i wasn't going to shackle her son to a life of misery but at the same time she felt sorry for me but her love for her son was greater and even i couldn't begrudge her that.

" Nne, Chidubem said he doesn't have it.....is it true? " she asked softly.

" Yes mommy"

I could hear her crying in the background, i don't know if it was out of pity for me or in relief for her son but i was happy she felt enough emotion to shed some honest tears.

" Nne my pastor is a powerful man of God! he will heal you. I will bring some anointing oil for you tomorrow "

" OK mommy... thank you"

I wished that i had her faith but i couldn't delude myself. I needed to be realistic and ready for the worst.


The next few weeks revolved around going to this church of wonders and miracle or that mountain top of signs. How Ebere and Chiboy could also believe in such things were beyond me but i was all for anything. The pains were becoming unbearable, my bones ached, some days i stool till i pass out. One crazy pastor had even asked me to fast for three days! Mommy would force me to drink this holy water or that holy oil.

One evening i refused.

" What is going on"? Chiboy asked.

" She does not want to drink the anointing oil! Something that i bought for N50 thousand naira!" mommy said.

We were all in their house, Ebere was also there urging me to drink it.

I couldn't help it. I broke down in tears. I had just finished a whole bottle of anointing oil and here i was being forced to drink more. I realized how my life had slowly been snatched away from me, it no longer belonged to me. I now live on other people's demand and reasoning.

" Let her rest a bit mom, she will drink it later"

Mommy left the room muttering under her breath, clutching the bottle of oil to her chest like a little child. Ebere gave me a little smile before leaving the room.

" Baby am sorry," he said locking the door.

I nodded. He scooped me into his arms and kissed me softly. It was like a mother kissing her child, the passion was gone and in its place was another sort of love, love for another human. He was trying hard not to think of the thing between us, trying not to allow it be a factor. He was really trying hard like we were normal couple and our life was perfect.


" look, i love you. I' m with you and I'm not leaving. okay?"

I nodded again.
