chapter 5: another tragedy

Later in the evening, Brian invited her for a drink. She could not refuse. Brian was acting like a gentleman and she wanted to give him a chance. The night seemed good and pleasant her moods were psyched up and all she wanted was to have fun. They went to a different club this time. The club was cozy and looked expensive. Different from Kevin. Brian was a cool guy with few worlds he seemed like a real gentleman and things were looking very promising. After several drinks, wangeci was intoxicated. There were no friends to take her home. Brian ordered a cab for both of them. The cab drove straight to brian`s house. She could not resist going in for two reasons, she was intoxicated and did not have the strength to take herself home, brian`s house seemed bigger and better the curiosity of how it looked inside could not let her say no.

She leaned on brians shoulder as he helped her get in the house. She excused herself to go to the washroom. However, she did not have the energy to take herself to the washroom. Thus Brian escorted her to the washrooms and waited outside. She came out less intoxicated than she was. However, Brian seemed like a gentleman and she wanted to spend more time with him. "What shall we what? " Brian asked. He had carried roasted meat from the bar and it only took few minutes to war it in the microwave. Let's pop up more wine. Brian suggested. He had more wine in his house. So Brian brought wine and poured two glasses one for each.

She woke up next to brain naked. The only thing she could remember was taking a glass of wine and holding a piece of roasted meat. Brian was sleeping next to him. She was not feeling pain, but ist obvious they had sex. "Did Brian drug me? "she asked herself. Brian woke up smiling next to her. "what happened ?" she yelled. "Take it easy" Brian tried calming her down. "Don't you remember?". "we had fun.. you started undressing in the leaving room". Bria explained. But she could not remember any of that. "did we have sex ?". she asked . "you started kissing me while we were still eating you wanted to have sex with me". The news pierced like a sharp knife through her heart. However, she had no one to blame. she could not even remember what happened thus, it would have been impossible to blame anyone else.

She took a shower and went to her room. She did not speak a word to anyone for the whole day. Brian called in the evening. They talked on the phone for a while then she hung up and slept. Brian was different from Kevin. He did not seem like a player he was caring and loving. She started going to class on regular basis and did not miss any class. After several weeks, things took a different turn. She missed her menstruations. They were late for few days which turned into weeks. She thought that maybe its hormonal imbalances due to the traumatic experience she had with Kevin. While they were walking from calls, she fainted and was rushed to the school hospital. "You are six weeks pregnant," the doctor said. The unfiltered words fell on her ears like thunder. She felt like the loudest gun had been fired close to her ear. She could not move her hands or legs.

She could see her life crumbling down all she had worked so hard to achieve was now going to waste. The villages who had high hope that she will be the first doctor in the village were now facing a disappointment in their life. Her mother had high hopes how was she going to face her and tell her that she is pregnant? What about the church. She went to her room dumbfounded. her life was in a mess. she did not know how to start. " why has life decided to be so cruel to me " she lamented. "Why has God forsaken me" she cried. she did not know whom to blame all she knew was that her life is ruined and cannot be made again. She did not eat, drink or take a shower. She just slept and cried all night and all day. Brian came to see her later the following evening. " what's the matter " Brian asked "she is pregnant and you are the father" one of the roommates answered on her behalf. The words made her cry even louder. " who? I can not be the father" my family is looking up to me and I and a respected church elder back at home I cannot be associated with such" he shouted as he stormed out of the house.
