chapter 3 (wangeci gets heart broken )

A sharp piercing pain run through her heart. She couldn't imagine what Kevin had just referred to her as. She felt weak and hopeless. She also most fell on the ground. She couldn't believe that Kevin referred to her as just a friend. She could see her whole life with him .how could someone be so heartless she lamented. She gathered little courage and asked Kevin "excuse me who did you say I am to you ?" "And who is she and what is she doing in your house ?". Kevin blatantly looked straight into her eyes and said … she is my girlfriend. You have been a good friend and you have a bright future. But I can't leave my girlfriend for you "

The words pierced straight through the heart like a sharp knife. She didn't understand why Kevin had turned to be so cruel. Was she dreaming? Is it the village witches who were against her? Or did the devil play tricks on her? Her head was filled with more questions than answers. She felt her world collapse and her hopes shattered. He legs felt weak and all she could do was cry. She sat down at the doorsteps and started crying. The other lady pushed her away and asked her to leave before she could cause a scene. Luckily, her friends were passing by and they saw her in a confrontation with the other lady. They escorted wangeshi back to their room. They were two girls who were the same year as her. They tried talking to her but she couldn't listen or talk all she could do was cry and cry. She cried for hours on end till she fell asleep. She woke up in the middle of the night and started crying again. She could not believe that the first love of her life could be that heartless. Nothing seemed to make sense to her. However, she gathered little courage and stopped crying. The sun rose early in the morning. She did not go to class. Rather she went to her room. She did not want to eat, drink or go to class all she did was stay in bed and cry.

The first day of her dreadful life had ended. It was evening and she was really hungry. Her roommate came and consoled her. She cooked her favorite noodles which tasted like trash. However, she forced herself to eat some before pushing the plate away and going back to bed. She had not spoken a word to anyone for two days. Her roommate encouraged her to eat and get back to school. On the third day. She gained some energy and she went to class. However, the school was not the same. She saw people laughing and wondered why were they laughing? Don't they know that her world had ended? She says the teacher in class and wondered how the teacher can continue teaching while her world had come down collapsing in her face. Nothing seemed to make sense to her.

After class which she did not even learn anything, her friends encouraged her to accompany them to a friend's birthday. She was told there will be more men and he will forget about the loser called Kevin. She prepared to leave through her moods were still very low. On reaching there, she forgot she was a church leader who could not engage in such activities. All types of drinks were served and she was determined to have fun.

She forced herself to have fun by dancing and taking all drinks. After some time, she felt hyperactive and joyous, everything seemed funny and she laughed a lot. She had extra energy to dance and shout. She even laughed at the fact that Kevin had sex with him and left him. He was surrounded by other young and handsome men who all wanted to dance with her and touch her inappropriately. She did not mind the attention they gave her. She was enthusiastic and wanted to forget everything and enjoy every moment. The more she danced the more she got more energy.

She realized she could not walk straight when she fell to the ground. It was clear that the drinks she had been taking were not just drinks but were mixed with alcohol. She went to confront her friends but could not get serious with them. "What did you give me?" she asked. "As long as you are happy just don't mind "one of the answers. Suddenly she could not even stand. She fell to the ground. However, her friends came and picked her up. She started vomiting and she went straight blacked out.

She woke up in the morning in her house. Her friends had returned her to her room. Her head was heavy and she felt mood less. She was advised to take string coffee and go to class. The day was brighter than the previous one. People had reasons to smile. Flashbacks of the previous night came to her mind. She smiled at how she was dancing. Class ended and she headed back to her room. On her way back she meets Kevin with a different girl from the one, she meets the other day in his house. She didn't talk to him but she felt tears rolling down her cheek it was clear that Kevin just wanted sex from her.

She got in the house furious. Her friends enquired what the problem was. "I don't know what you gave me yesterday but I need it now" she requested. The room was calm and quiet for some time. "We will go clubbing tonight," one of the ladies said to break the silence.
