Wake up! Everybody wake up!
Habeeb ran as fast as his legs could carry him, falling down in the process but which seemed to have little or no effects on him. He kept running, screaming on top of his voice.
Wake up ! It killed them! They are both dead!
In no time, the students got out of bed, wondering what was happening. Some laid still on their mattresses, thinking someone is just out to play pranks on them. Stuffs like that are very in common in camps…
Lanre was one of the boys who first ran out of the tent, followed by the class rep and some other boys.
Class rep: Habeeb! What is going on, why are you screaming?
Habeeb; (breathing heavily ) It’s….. It’s… they are dead…. they are dead.
Lanre: Who are dead?
Habeeb: John….john and shade are dead!
There was a gasp in the air as he said it. Someone shouted “ Jesus” and some girls had started crying already.
Class rep: Is this a joke Habeeb? This isn’t funny!
Lanre: Let him speak! Habeeb, please tell us what you saw?
Habeeb: I saw them go into the bush, John and Shade! I already knew what they were planning to do so i decided to follow them, just to watch…. when they bent down, it came out of nowhere and attacked John, cutting his head off! (Gasping ) there was blood everywhere!
Lanre: What attacked themhuh?!
Habeeb: It was a shadow! Black with the darkness it moved fast, it killed them both!
Everyone began fidgeting, girls were crying, the guys were pacing around, trying to hide their fears, there was chaos as everyone wants to speak at the same time.
Class rep: What do we do now?
Uche: I say we go into that bush, find that bastard and kill him ourselves
Temmy: You dummy! Didn’t you hear it was just a shadow? You want to fight a shadow with your fist??
Everyone started talking again, noise erupting and growing louder!
Lanre: Shut up! Shut up everyone!
Everyone kept quiet immediately!
Lanre! Let us stop arguing! Two amongst us are dead already! I had a bad feeling about this place and you all knew that. So now i say, we all go into the tents, pack our bags and get the hell out of this Godforsaking place now!
He said that and kept quiet but they were all too confused and afraid to move. They all stood still in their positions, waiting for someone to lead.
Lanre: (Shouted angrily) I said MOVE NOW!!!!!
Everyone scampered around into their tents, packing their luggages as fast as they could. No one said word to another. Everyone single one of them lost in their individual thoughts.
Lanre sighed, looked up and saw Kamoru.
Lanre: Mr. Kamoru! Ni bo le gbe bus sihuh (Mr. Kamoru! Where did you park the bus?)
Kamoru: OWa labe igi ni beun (It’s parked under a tree there)
Lanre: Se e le logbe wa sibi ( Can you move it a little closer to this place)
Kamoru: Ehn (Yes)
Lanre: Ejo, egbe wa (Please, move it here) Abi kin tele yin ni? ( Or should i come with you?)
Kamoru: Rara o! Emi okunrin meta! Kosi ewu ! (No o! I’m a real man! No problem)
Mo nbo ni sin ( I’ll be right back)
Kamoru hurried away towards the place bus was parked earlier when they arrived. Lanre didn’t need to do any packing, he had left his luggage in the tent just the way he packed it in the morning, he went to the tent and get it, most of the boys were done packing.
Emma: I told you all that we are going to die on this trip!
This time, no one argued with Emma nor tell him to shut up! They simply thought about the possibility of what he just said and fidgeted the more.
Everyone set out in front of the tent, looking at Lanre to tell them their next step.
Lanre: please everyone! Try and relax, okay? Kamoru has gone to bring the bus closer to this place, i’m sure he’ll be back any moment from now.
Mary moved towards him and placed her head on his shoulders, she was silently weeping and greatly overwhelmed by fear. Lanre tried calming her down, kissing her on the forehead, Kamoru has been gone for five minutes now, he should be back already, he thought to himself.
****************************
11:44pm
Kamoru slapped himself at the back of his neck to kill the mosquito that just bit him. He still didn’t understand while those students were leaving in such a haste, he knew they were arguing, some were even crying but they all spoke English, a language he didn’t Understand.
Just 6 weeks ago, his uncle had come to the village and brought him to Ibadan, he had never gone to school nor attain any formal education. All he knew was farming and fishing. For 2 weeks, his uncle had taught him how to drive the big bus and he was able to perfectly drive it in 5 days. Since the trip to the camp site wasn’t so far, his uncle had suggested he drove the students, though this wasn’t his first time of taking people on a trip.
He had enjoyed watching the students, they all had something in their palms that they constantly pressed with their thumbs and spoke into. Some of them even had something that they cover their ears with and would be shaking their head and dancing. They all spoke and shout every time, they shout “Awwwww” when they are happy, they shout “Ahhhhhh” when they are angry.
But when they started shouting this night and spoke their language, he knew something was wrong but he didn’t know what it was. He had been instructed to get the bus closer and that’s what he’ll do.
He got to the bus, brought the key from his pocket and as he tried inserting it into the lock, it fell off his hand, unto to the ground .
He cursed under his breath, he had no lights, though the moon shone above the sky. He bent down and began searching for the keys. In a flash, someone dashed quickly behind him, he stood up immediately but saw no one, he waited a few seconds to confirm no one was there so he bent down again.
Luckily, he found the keys this time, unlock the bus and got inside. The wind was cold and chilly, he shook his head, let out a deep breath and started the engine, it cranked and clicked, coughed out smokes and went off again.
Kamoru looked around, he hasn’t been driving for long but he knew the battery couldn’t have gone down that fast. He tried again but this time, it started, he revved on the accelerator excitedly but when he tried to move, the car tires seemed stucked on something. Someone knocked on the bus, he had no idea which direction it came from nor who it was
Kamoru: Ta ni yen ke? (Who is it??)
Silence…. he stretched himself up, looked around but saw nothing.
As he turned around the steering wheel, he heard it again, this time, it wasn’t a knock but a bang, one which sent him jumping out of his seat in fear, he was sweating now, his hands fidgeting. He decided it was time to leave so with a doubled effort and speed, he sat down, changed the gear, this time wanting to reverse the bus.
The front tire rolled, but only on a spot. Only one thing left to do; he has to go down and check which direction he needs to steer the bus, so he won’t keep digging a bigger hole around the tires.
He took a deep breath, slowly opened the door, peeped around and got down, practically tip-toeing, he moved to the front of the bus, bent down and examined the tires.
He had left the door open so fear ran cold on him when he had the door shut itself. He tried to turn around but slipped and fell on the cold grass.
In a flash, he saw the bus revearsed itself to a distance. It stopped and the headlamps came on, almost burning his retina. Impulse sets in and he screamed as loud as he possibly could.
Kamoru: Egbami oooooo! (Help me!!)
In that instance, the bus jerked forward with full speed. Kamoru tried standing up and running but a twig held him down, the grasses wrapping around his legs so tight, resisting his movements.
All he could do was whimp in fear and prepare for impact. He felt the excruciating pain of the bus on his feet, then the knee ,to the hip… the last thing he remembered was his ribs crushing in, as all went dark.
****************
11:50pm
Back at the camp, they all waited, running out of patience. Halimat opened her mouth to protest and that’s when they saw the lights of the bus, it honked and packed, signaling they should come closer.
Lanre: I told you all to relax, Kamoru is here with the bus now. Let’s move!
Everyone hurried towards the bus, some shoveling their way to get in the front, just to enter the bus as fast as they could…. Only if they knew who…or what was on the driver’s seat.

Shadows (episode four)

The time was 4:30pm when they finally got to Igbo Alaye village. It was quiet and few oldies where seen, sitting in front of their mud houses, watching in amazement as the big bus pulled up in front of the kings palace.
Class rep: So…. guys! I’ll quickly run inside, tell king what we’re here for and get going .
Helen: Is that totally necessary?
Emma: ehn ehn…..It’s not, we’ll just come into their village and do whatever we like as if we own the place
Helen: i wasn’t even asking you, dummy!
The class rep and Emma went into the palace, 15mins later, they were out, accompanied by a few old men who clutched to the 1000 naira they all held in their palms like It’s their life savings.
The bus rode deeper into the outskirt of the village till they finally decided a spot in the forest. There were trees that stood top with branches and leaves blocking out the sun ray . It was a lowland, few kilometers away was a river which they all decided would be their bathroom and pool . The boys set out to set the tents, they cleared the ground, clippped the tent to the ground, laid a trampoline and they set the 12 Mattress. They named it “Damsels’ castle”. Another tent was set for the boys, “Knights’ Abode” and a third tent which they named “Common room” .
All the while, Moji, Temmy and a few other girls prepared a meal of Nigerian Jollof rice.
Lanre still sitting in the bus was lost in thought, he’s there already and he still doesn’t feel right about everything going on. There were laughters all around, the boys were throwing a ball around, some girls sat to gossip and couples were seen holding one another in tight embrace, everyone was having fun, everyone except Lanre.
Mary: Baby… you’re still here brooding right?
Lanre: No! I’m trying to reach someone at home so they’ll know we arrived safely.
Mary: It’s no use, there are no phone receptions here. Everyone out there have tried.
Lanre: Oh! I thought as much
Mary: Now you need to step outta this bus, you’re weirding everyone out. They’re already calling you a freak. Baby, you promised me you’d loosen up.
Lanre: I’m trying to Mary! I’m just worried about what happened on our way here.
Mary: You mean the cat guy? Forget it! The idiot was probably drunk from taking too much of palm wine!
Lanre: He looked quite serious to me! We shouldn’t have allowed him into the bus
Mary: Lanre, just stop already. This isn’t cool anymore, you’re freaking the hell out of me! We’re out here, all alone in a thick forest and instead of being a man and acting protective of your girlfriend and here you are, whining all day.
She stood to leave but Lanre held her and pulled her closer to him.
Lanre: Ok….ok…ooookay! I’m sorry honey… I’m just over-thinking t his. Just gimme a few minutes and I’ll be out.
Mary: Okay… baby, don’t be long then.
Lanre took a deep breath, adjusted his shirt, said a short prayer and that’s when he saw it….. the shadow, loom
ing over the Female tent, it startled him,
the sun had already set so he had absolutely no explanation for it. He shut his eyes tight, took a deep breath, when he opened his eyes again, the shadow was gone.
***********************
8:30pm
They all sat in the “common room” tent after they ate, laughing, all 28 of them.
Timothy: Okay guys! Lemme tell you a joke.
Everyone cheered him along.
Timothy: A three-year old boy walks over to a pregnant lady at a bus stop .
“Why your stomach big so ?” – he asks.
“ I get belle…..I´m having a baby.” – she replies.
“Shey the baby dey your belle now now ?” – he asks, with his big eyes.
“Yes, it is.” – she says.
“Is it a good baby?” – he asks, with a puzzled look.
“Oh, yes. A really good baby.” – the lady replies.
Shocked and surprised, he asks: “Haha, If the baby na good baby….Why you con chop the baby na ?”.
Everyone laughed out loud.
The fun went on and on until it was time to sleep at about 10:40pm .
Class rep: I can see people are dozing off already, let’s go to sleep. Please and please….. I believe we are all adults here, so you know the rules… Boys in one tent, girls in the other.
Everyone left the common room tent, Guys in their tent and the ladies in theirs
*********FLASHBACK****** ***
Thursday, 6:30pm
John: I can’t do this anymore! We’ve been dating 3 months now and you keep saying the same thing, how long are we gonna wait before we do it??
Sade: John! If you truly love me, you’ll wait!
John: No! If you truly love me, you’ll do it!
Sade: Look! I’m not ready yet!
John: Well….if that’s the case, It’s over between us!
Sade: No John….please don’t do this to me
John: It’s obvious you don’t love me
Sade: No, i do. I really love you! I just wanna wait! You know I’m still a Virgin. What if we have sex and then you leave Me??
John: I won’t leave you! I can go out there and get any lady i want but I’m asking you because you’re special.
Sade: (sighs) How are we going to do this? We both stay in the hostel remember?
John: The camp! When we get to the camp, we both can find a place and do it
Sade: Okay John… I’m doing this because i love you okay? We’ll do it at the camp then.
John: Ooooh sweetheart! The first night, when everyone has gone to sleep, you’ll excuse yourself that you need to poo or something, i’ll tell the boys the same and we’ll both meet and do it okay?
Sade: Okay! Good plan. Are you sure you love me?
John: Sure thing love! I love you
************************
Everyone had gone into the tents , 5 minutes later, John came out of the male’s tent, carefully tiptoed to the side of a tree. It took almost 10 minutes before he saw Sade coming out of the female’s tent. His heart leaped for joy! He is finally doing this, he had decided to date her just because of her big bossom. The first time he saw her, he was captivated, it took a slap from one of his friends before he finally was able to take his eyes off her skirt. “ I have to put my hands on those booties” he had said to his friends and was determined to make it happen. But when she told him she was a virgin, he knew he had to go into a relationship with her for that to happen.
It’s happening tonight, he assured himself. He reached into his pocket and checked the condoms one more time. When she got close to him, he held her hands and led her deeper into the bush.
John has confidence in himself, he knows by the time he starts with her, she’ll be screaming her lungs out, shouting and moaning. To avoid her waking people up, he went farther inside the bus .
They got to a spot, he cleared his throat and gestured her to start preparing. She slowly began to take her night gown off, he saw she was nervous but he didn’t care. He laid her night gown on the ground and told her to lay down and spread her legs, she did as instructed and he smiled to himself.
He bent down to take off his shorts and then he saw it, the shadow, behind a tree, it stood looking at them, John waved at it but the shadow remained there, still looking at him, so he shrugged his shoulders, one of the boys might have seen them leave and followed them to watch and enjoy the show.
He bent over her and wore his protection. The hand came real fast, so strong and so precise, holding John’s throat from behind, he gasped and grasped all he could but it was of no use
Sade didn’t quite get what was going on, all she saw was the dark figure of a man with his arms tight around John’s neck. She wanted to call for help but she couldn’t.
The shadow’s hand got tighter around John’s neck and with a twist, the head came off, rolling on the ground towards Sade, the blood gushed out, wetting the grass in no time. John’s headless body fell to the ground and his head rolled and stopped at Sade’s feet. She screamed and started running in the dark, hitting her head and hands on trees and branches. When she looked back, the shadow was behind her, it made no sounds, it was practically floating off the ground.
She ran as fast as her legs could carry, shouting for help all the way. When she looked up, she saw their camp, the 3 tents stood Just a few feets away. Suddenly, there was hope, she’ll finally get some help she thought to herself but all hopes flew off when she felt the shadow grab her legs, sending her tumbling into the ground. She hit the floor with a thud and when she opened her mouth to call for help again, the hands came grabbing on her tongue and pulling it out. Her lifeless body was dragged into the bush by the shadow.
Back at the camp, everywhere was quiet, cool breeze blew above and everyone slept soundly and peacefully.

Igbo alaye is a village in Ori ire Local government area in Oyo state. 5 hours from Ibadan and sparsely populated.
Lanre had spent all night trying to read it up on the internet, looking for any information he could find on it but nothing comes up. Most navigation sites didn’t even know the town existed. It wasn’t on Google map either. The only thing Lanre found was a NYSC corper’s comment on site which reads “ I was posted to Igbo Alaye for my service….. it’s an amazing experience only if you abide by their rules ”
What ruleshuh Lanre thought to himself. What rules are there to abide to in a village that hardly know anything about civilization….
“ Baby, what are you doing??” Mary’s voice brought him back from oblivion. She moved close enough to see what he was reading.
“C’mon Lanre! You’re still reading bout this village ehn”
“I have to! I mean we can’t just decide to spend 3 nights in a place we know nothing about. Who decided we’re going there anyways….? ” Lanre asked
“I don’t know! Some guy.. uhmmm.. the class rep or whatever. “ Mary sighed. “ Baby, you are too uptight, relax and try to have fun sometimes Ok? Do you want a kisshuh
Emma: Yessssss!! I want a kiss!!!
Mary looked at the door and hissed as she saw Emma!
Emma is Lanre’s best buddy in school, lousy, carefree and much of a trouble maker! He’s the type of guy that enters a room and every serious minded person walks out. If you are looking for someone to waste the whole of your day with, Emma comes to mind!
Emma: What is it Mary? Why did you do “mtchewww” at me?
Mary: It’s called “hissing” dummy!
Emma: i don’t want to know o. I entered and you “mtcheeww” at me. What did i do to you that you’re doing “mtcheww” at mehuh If i now do my own “mtcheeww” at you and you reply with another “mtcheeww” it would be a serious issue because i will kill you with “mtcheeww” ni o
Mary: (sighs) i don’t have your time Emma!
Emma: Hahaha.. ok o. So what’s up? Are you guys ready for the camping tomorrow?
Mary: Oh Gosh! Are you going too? Who sold you the ticket sef??
Emma: Look at you! I have my ways girl! Haha….Lanre! Why you quiet as if you sh*t for body? Den use charm hit you ni?
Lanre: Idiot! Just trying to browse about the village.
Emma: Goodluck finding that village on Google. Anyways…. I’m going with the class rep to go arrange for transportation, we’re getting a 30-seater luxurious bus.
Lanre: 30-seater? Wait are we that muchhuh
Mary: I told you baby, people are excited about this!
Lanre: Well…. I’m starting to feel better about it then.
Emma said goodbye and left the room and Mary was out of sight too. He had lied, he’s not feeling better about the camp. Lanre has always been a sceptic and that has gotten him out of a whole lot of troubles. He just knew something about the camp doesn’t feel right. He rested his back on the chair and continued with is phone. On the google search box he type “ gods and goddesses in Igbo Alaye village, Oyo state” he clicked search
************************
Moji: so…. we have 16 males and 12 females making a total of 28 people…. uhmm….we’ve bought rice, ingredients, yams.. what elsehuh… meats and fishes…… ehn ehn…. Have you arranged stuffs for making teahuh
She looked at Temmy was busy chatting on her phone and smiling…
Moji: (throws a pen at Temmy) Focus Temmy… Focus!!!
Temmy: (winced in pain) Ooouch! What now! I’m here jor
Moji: i said have you gotten the Tea ingredients??
Temmy: Yesssss! I have! Is that why you want to swallow me
Moji: Seriously, Temmy drop that your phone and pay attention. We have 28 people to feed for 2 and a half days.
Temmy: Take it easy jor! Daniel is telling me something ni.
Moji: hmmm…. you and that your Daniel ehn. I’m telling you that guy is wasting your time, you are here claiming love.
Temmy Ignored her and continued chatting. Moji shook her head and checked her phone, she has been expecting a call from her mum. Last night she’d sent a text, informing her Mum of the camp and how she has been placed in charge of food preparation and kitchen duties . There’s nothing Moji loves to do more than cooking, she believes cooking is an art, the flavour, the colour, mixing and matching meant everything to her, she never gets tired of cooking.
Temmy, Moji’s friend on the other hand hates to cook, she would eat biscuits all day just to avoid cooking. She’s here to help her friend and most importantly to impress Daniel, her major crush. She has finally gotten his attention and when Daniel says he needs two ladies to handle the meal preparation at the camp, Temmy had excitedly volunteered.
**********************
Daniel: Guys! Moji and Temmy have bought the foodstuffs so i believe that aspect is settled then.
Timothy: Temmy?? You placed Temmy in charge of foodshuh? Are you out of your mind? Just say you want to kill us now o!
Uche: Ha-ha… Kill us ke? Why now? Shey Temmy cannot cook ni?
Daniel: She can cook!
Timothy: Yeeeeeh! Which Kainhuh Uche no mind this guy o! The day Temmy came to our lodge and prepared rice for us ehn, We all sh*tted for at least 3 days! I was just going to the toilet every 30mins for a whole day.
Uche: Hahahaha…. what now? She put laxative ni?
Timothy: I don’t know o but i know in that rice, Oil was at one side, Maggi at another side…. you will now see the salt floating in the middle.
Uche & Daniel: Hahahahahahaa
Timothy: She now spoilt everything ehn….con add Onions and tomatoes…. Those ones con big like sey na cutlass she take dice am!
Uche: hahhaha. ..i don die!
Daniel: (laughing ) Ignore Timothy jor. It’s Moji that will prepare the meals not Temmy.
Timothy: That’s better! Tell the truth now, so i should write my will before going to the camp and eat Temmy’s food o! . Uche! Your Grandpa is still alive abi?
Uche: Yes. He’s 103 years! My grandpa no gree die
Timothy: Small thing. Give your grandpa Temmy’s food, i bet hin no go wake up the next day. As i don chop her food now, my life expectancy don reduce from 100 to 70 years. Na 30 years one single meal comot.
Both Daniel and Uche fell off their chairs laughing hard.
**************************
Halimat: has Lanre finally agreed to go with you??
Mary: (Excitedly ) Yesss he has. I was able to convince him.
Helen: I’ve always known there was no way he would let you go alone. He loves you too much to let that happen. I just look at both of you and wish i could have what you guys have.
Mary: You’re dating two guys at the same time Helen, there’s no way you can have what Lanre and I have.
Helen: You’re just lucky babygurl. Most guys out there are F@#k boys.
Mary: ….and that’s why you’re dating two guys?
Helen: Yea, so that if one of them leave, I’ll fall back on other.
Halimat: And if they both leave?
Helen: One thing we have in abundance here in Nigeria are F@#k boys….if they both leave, I’ll find a new one.
Mary: Haaaa… how many guys are you gonna date before you marry?
Helen: as many as possible
Halimat: oh.. .and then you keep having sex with them all??
Helen: Uhn uhn….as long as they have “the tool” …why not?
Halimat: You’re just a slut! I don’t know why we are friends sef
Helen: Hahahaha…. Babygurl, i’m a VIP…that’s my Momma’s V and my Daddy’s P. You better go out and get laid.
Halimat: No Thanks! I won’t offend Allah
Helen: Miss Virgin! Allah does not give a crap about your sex life. 8 Billion people in the world and you think Allah cares if you’re getting some?
Halimat: please shut up! I’m waiting ’till after I’m wedded to a proper man in Holy Nikkah!…. Insha Allah!
Helen: Hahaha…. ” Alhamdu- get-the-f*ck-outta-here” my friend
Mary: (cuts in) Helen shut up! It’s her decision so It’s none of your business! Do whatever you want with your body, just remember no man wants his future wife to bring a “borehole ” to him
Halimat: Hmmm…. Borehole? Some people will eventually take a Canal to their future hubby.
Mary: Hahahaha…. Okay! Both of you stop right now!
Helen: Whatever! What are you guys taking to the camp? I have no idea what to pack o.
Mary: Uhmm… blankets, lamp, toiletries and all that
Halimat: I’m taking my laptop
Mary: What for? You know there’s no internet connection there right??
Halimat & Helen: Whathuh
Mary: The goal of the camp is for us to bond as friends and coursemates without interruptions from the outside world.
Halimat: Ohhhh! Me I’ll stay back o
Helen: Stay back and waste the 15k we paid? Abegi, Let’s go there, I’m up for anything
Halimat: Of course you are! As long as there are boys there and bushes where you and them can disappear to. You’ll definitely up for it.
Mary: Halimat! Don’t start! Let’s go to the mini mart, i want to get a mosquitoes repellent cream.
Helen: Oh yea! I’ll need that too.
**********************
1:12am Friday
Lanre was in the bush all alone. He had no idea where the others had gone to but he could hear them talking and laughing. He bent down and wiped tears off his face and saw something move behind him. He saw the shadow in a figure and suddenly it was gone, he looked around and saw no one, just the leaves rustling and branches breaking.
The air was cold, it sent chills down his spine and yet hot sweats rolled down his temple. Suddenly the laughter of his colleagues had changed into wailing and crying. He had screams and people falling but he saw no one.
“Help me Lanre!”
He heard Mary’s voice and turned around, she was on the ground, leaves sticking to her cheek and blood dripping, she held on tight to a tree root. That was when he looked up and saw a shadow standing over her, gripping her legs and pulling her farther into the bush. He tried to run towards her but he fell, hitting the ground. So he crawled and grabbed her, pulling her towards himself but the shadow was too strong for him, her hands were covered in blood, it made her hands slippery. He tried to shout but his voice wouldn’t come out….
“Don’t let me go, don’t let him take me like he took the others Lanre…..please Lanre, please ”
she said faintly
Now he’s crying and shaking..
Lanre……lanre….. Lanre…….
Mary jerked him awake. He woke up. Tears in his eyes and soaked in sweats
“Lanre are you alright?? You keep rolling and shaking in bed, and why are you sweating? The fan is on the highest speed.” Mary asked, scared and worried.
Lanre: It’s fine! You’re fine! Thank God you’re fine!….. Thank God you’re fine……(he sighed)
He couldn’t sleep after that so he closed his eyes and said: Our father! Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name………….

Many women are happy to settle for less thus a man can keep 20 chicks and they all know each other yet they will still remain with him and fight over who will finnaly win him in marriage. whereas if a man knows his babe has 1 other boy or even suspects her of having an affair, besides him, he calls the whole thing off. See? This way woman knows better not to play with what she has whereas the playboy guy is even amazed and amused by the women's reaction and is encouraged to keep them on their toes.
Besides, I know many men who treated the good women like trash and kept the crazy ones as wives. So this story no gel.
Eh, I will not say a woman should slut around or behave like a goat in heat. But I would say if she decides to take a step that would protect her rights and dignity as a woman, she should not be shamed for making that move. She is human and deserves to be happy. That girl in this story is wrong I n the sense that self destruction is not the solution to heart break.
She is just hurt and she need to calm the f down and replan her life
True.
