Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+)

After that visit,we started chatting on WhatsApp.

Each time he brought up the issue of my baby,I would shift it aside and talk about something else.
One day,I sent him Kamsi’s picture because I was tired of having to think about him reacting in a way I wouldn’t like. He was so happy and kept on whining that she looks like him.

That Christmas,we travelled to the village.

My sister’s husband got me an android phone as a Christmas gift. I was so happy. I tried configuring it but it won’t bulge. I told Raymond(he was good at it) and he promised to help me with it once we returned. People at the village wouldn’t let our house rest as they stepped in every minute of the day to see my baby. I didn’t like the attention I was getting but what will I do? I told mum and dad that I didn’t want to go back to school.

They wouldn’t hear that. I told them I wanted to work with my OND certificate. My reason was that I didn’t want to separate from my baby but I couldn’t tell them that. My sister wasn’t happy with my decision but when they realised my mind was already made up,they let me be. I knew they were angry with me but again,that spirit of motherhood in every woman can’t lead them wrongly.

January came and we travelled back without my mum. She was to go to Enugu for her brother’s wedding. We got home safely and I informed Raymond. Forgive me but we had agreed to be best of friends with or without S£x. I went to his house the next day and he configured my phone and even helped to open a bbm account for me.
We talked for a while,he showed me his laptop where he used Kamsi’s picture as his wallpaper.
We talked some more before I left. He made it a routine to always check up on me,I don’t know if its to make up for his sin but I vowed never to let him fool me for the second time.

Six months passed and I stopped breastfeeding.

I started looking for a job. Onitsha is not a place where you will get a good job except you wanna be a salesgirl. Before I started looking for a job,I had gone back to my evening stroll. Ray and I would meet up sometimes,talk,laugh,sometimes,there was the urge to have S£x but we would dismiss it and go home.

I finally settled for Owerri. My room mate had also dropped and was working at a hotel in Owerri.

She told me of the offer and I quickly wrote an application and sent it to her to submit for me.

A week later,I was on my way back from church when I met a guy,he stopped me and we got talking. We exchanged numbers and I went home.

He would call me like every hour,we would chat non stop and slowly,I fell in love with him.

The day he proposed to me, my joy knew no bounds. Innocently, I told him about Kamsi and his mood changed. He dropped me off at home and that was the last time I saw him. I cried bitterly, regretting my loss. I told my mum and she started shouting on me; why did I tell him? that didn’t she tell me Kamsi was now her and daddy’s baby? She didn’t even console me. Out of anger,I packed my bag and left,off to Owerri. I called my sister and told her I was leaving. She pleaded that I come to Enugu but I refused,telling her I got a job in Owerri. I was already in the bus when I informed my room mate that I was on my way.
After placing all the necessary calls,including my dad,I broke my sim and journeyed all the way to Owerri to start a new life.

Life in Owerri was better. My room mate made me apply again and this time,I enclosed that I lived in Owerri. I got the job immediately, to be paid #20000 monthly. Was I happy? Yes. I had already spent two weeks there before I called my mum with my new line. She was happy to hear from me.
I apologized for leaving without informing her but she said she understood that I was angry.

I was surprised. She finally told me that daddy had spoken to her saying that it was better I told a suitor I had a baby than letting him find out himself,that since marriage was a life time commitment, I needed the trust of my husband and the only way to get that is by telling him the truth. She wished me prosperity in my new job and asked that I take care.
