After five months of nursing my baby, I was ready to resume my life. Though I had been taking courses, and my dad had paid for some really expensive ones, it still felt as if my life was on pause. All I did was go to the hospital, study, take my supplements, and rest. I […]

It was soon Christmas. Wasn’t it yesterday that the new year began? I rubbed my growing stomach absent-mindedly, it was oddly comforting. The bump wasn’t obvious in my outfits, but I knew there was a tiny difference. I had just finished one course and the sense of accomplishment trumped other crippling emotions within. Tochi still

“So, we have thought about it.” My dad said and looked at my mum who then spoke. “Thanks for telling us and not aborting it. I’m also sorry I shouted at you.” At this, the tears fell freely. Zabby also sniffled beside me and I knew she was also crying. My mum started crying and

Tochi and I didn’t speak until the next day. “I’m so sorry, baby. Tell me you are not vexed.” I felt my stomach twist as he spoke softly. “Tochi, I am pregnant.” Zabby had gone to her boyfriend’s place earlier and I had promised to tell Tochi before she returned. “Angel, I don’t get.” “Tochi,

Zabby came to Abuja from Calabar, she just left today, and we spent her stay discussing man problems. I should feel bad but it just felt good to know that someone genuinely cared and didn’t mind. I’d make it up to her. I still felt crappy and to make matters worse, Tochi hadn’t even acted

“Babe, tell me this is very important.” “It depends.”  “Angela, what’s wrong?” She asked, her tone changing as soon as she noticed I was sad. “Wait, is it Tochi?” I hated that she could guess right. “Yes.” “Okay, what happened?” “Would you believe he hasn’t called today?” I spent over ten minutes on the phone

“I’m glad you guys were able to talk. Omo, his family is wild o.” “That should be an understatement.” I was folding my clothes when Zabby called. I just spent the past fifteen minutes telling her what Tochi’s family and his mother had gone through just to bury his late father. The last time Tochi

I felt bad for Tochi. I couldn’t imagine my dad dying. Even as this occurred to me, my heart sank to my stomach. God forbid! I had seen some of his hair turn grey in the past few years, but I didn’t allow myself to think about what it implied. Thankfully, he always worked out

Since I initiated a chat with Joe, we’d been in constant communication. I felt guilty already considering that for two days I totally forgot to reach out to Tochi until he did. It also felt unfair to Joe who might start getting ideas. I had to put an end to this.  Joe, how’s your girlfriend?
