10 Chapter Ten

"It all started,When we were in school..., i rejected many suitors coming for my hand in marriage..."

"But you did the right thing babe.... You wanted to graduate first, please do not blame yourself" iruoma trying to give gab hope

"Not the way you see it" wiping her face"i wanted to reach at the top then,... i was having this mindset that marrying that time will hinder me from achieving my dreams." She sipped the last in the glass.

"You're drunk baby, maybe next time we discuss about it okay?" Coming closer to take her inside

"Woa, woa.. I'm okay. I just want to cool off" getting her hands off her "hmmmm.....those guys that were coming were, business guys, some were graduates, some where not.... But i felt that those people weren't seeing my plans..... Girl my aim was to be like this and more. For my husband not to control me unnecessarily. You know, my mother really suffered in the hands of my father"

"Oh God its okay" trying to calm her friend down

She continued "So one of those guys that came for me, accepted that atleast he will support my education, and after graduation we will get married... Meanwhile i didn't tell him what I wanted because my fear was that, he can't be able to do that, and you know my family isn't capable like that... So I accepted without him knowing my plans...." Gab exhaled" that man spent for me through out my second year to the end... So he proposed again but I rejected..."

iruoma cuts in "Babe its not good nah.. That's was so bad babe"

"Yea, now i knew that what i did was wrong....You know I thought i have paid my debts through sex babe... Babe i gave it to him as he wanted... And seriously, That guy really spent for my family, i swear"she felt something like tears dripping, so she quickly dried it with her palm "after rejecting his proposal, he wept like a woman, at a point i felt for him but i stopped myself not to feel until i reached to where i wanted...."she took a deep breath. "that guy didn't curse me like others do to many girls, he left and I didn't heard from him again until the day i heard from my mother that he has married, and really he married that year i broke his heart" gab took a deep breath again "i know what it took me to reach where i am today, so I'm not messing up again. That's my promise"

"Hmmmm... That was so cruel dear"

"Babe do you know the funny part"gab chuckled"i met a guy one day, he was so much interested in me.. He told me how he was an entrepreneur and owned a company his name was written on it... I thought God had indeed blessed my hustle.... Hah! Babe one day he took me out to a big fast food restaurant and we ordered a lot there, and when he wanted to pay, he brought out different ATM cards and shouted... I asked him the problem, he told me that he came out with expired ATM cards without knowing..... Hmm i didn't complain because i don't want my man be embarrassed, so i had to pay for our bills..."

"Haa.... You did what?" iruoma pushing out words from her mouth because she couldn't understand a smart girl like gab be under a man spell

"No... I thought he will pay me out later" gab defended

"How much was it"

Gab shook her head "lets discuss the main story.." She continue"after that day, he started showering love to me, the love i thought was real. All i wanted was for him to propose to me, to ask me where and when he will meet my parents hmm..."she tapped iruoma"one day, he called and told me that the chemicals he ordered outside the country and some materials was back but it was seized..., ermm that it required the sum of#500,000.... I asked questions like how much did he have now. He said that he had spent all his money in that business... Babe i really don't know what came over me, i wasn't thinking straight" gab smiled wickedly"i told him to come over to the house for us to talk over it.... Sharp sharp he came to the house, that guy was so cunny... He didn't brought out his business stuff issue, he just started professing his love to me.. I felt like he was my world....."she gave a slight smile

"Stop it biko!" Iruoma sounding unhappy

"No babe, i need to take it out from my heart"she continued again"we played together and could I say we had sex in my house..... Hmm we did it in my room, sitting room and finally bathroom..."

"Oh God"iruoma bent her head in shame

"After everything, with the love glimmering in my eyes, i called my girlfriend that was a banker. I told her to transfer 650k into his account writing down his details" gab looking at iruoma"you see I'm a big fool.... I had sex with him in my house and paid him" she bent her face in shame. Iruoma couldn't say a word because she hasn't recovered from the shock of the money"after that day, he stopped calling ,meanwhile he told me his name was Joseph but it was a big lie, because I could remember that his bank details was oguejiofor Raymond but was blind to notice then" she sighed" his numbers were no more connecting, no where to reach him because i don't know where he lives... One day i decided to go to the mall to pick few things, guess whom I saw" she asked expecting to hear from iruoma

"Continue please"

"Okay.... I saw Joseph or Raymond with his family.. Hmm life.."she smiled"i thought they were not with him, so i called him with the name he gave me but no response, so i went closer to tap him..... I thought that if he turned and saw me that he was going to hug me and tell me how sorry he was for not calling for the past few weeks... But no, he felt shocked when he saw me chai.. Uwa!... His wife came in and asked whom I was"shaking her leg"he said that I was a confused person, he just took his wife and pecked her at my front!" Yeah gab couldn't control herself. Now tears she couldn't control start flowing. Iruoma went to hold and console her.

"Oh my world! That guy must be crazy. Hope you involved the police concerning the matter "iruoma asked

She took hold of herself then continue" hmmm... After i went back home, that his number that were not connecting sent me a text saying, i should stop following him, that that we did business and I paid him... That I should stop following him unless I wanted him to involve the police that I wanted to kill him.,. Babe I went deaf that day. I thought i was going to die but God gave me strength to keep going" she said sniffing

"Sorry dear, you will be fine" iruoma assures her

"When dear... Looks like I'm paying for my sins... I'm so scared now. My fear is that I will fall in to another trap again.... No relationship has lasted for two months in my case, and this one I thought was the last bustop just became roundabout" sniffing while tears roll uncontrollable

"You don't have to be, no man will reject you.... You're beautiful babe. Stop giving yourself that fear please." Iruoma pleaded"just look at me, I'm the worst woman on earth. I'm not sure whether God will bless me with children again and you're here lamenting over a minor thing.... Just look at me, how am i sure i will conceive again"another tears dripping. Gab reached for a handkerchief to wipe iruoma's tears.

"God will bless you dear, it just time okay"gab hugged iruoma as she wept at her back, soaking gab's clothe

Iruoma believed God works in a mysterious ways but she doubt her own part...
