Episode 20
Nadia and Ruth has resumed school, and they were already preparing for their exams, at first Nadia felt awkward because she was still leaping on one leg and she heard whispers almost everywhere that she was the missing girl, but with Ruth by her side, she was confident that she will scale through. They both had a lot of catching up to do in their school work and so they were reading like heaven was going to come down. Sometimes the pregnancy tells on her and makes her weak but that didnt weigh her down, she strived more to get what she wants. Even when her exams started her coursemates felt her pregnancy would affect her and make her unable to write her exams but they were all shocked when Nadia kept working harder and harder determined to make it.
When her pregnancy became at 6months, the school authorities noticed and summoned her, it was against the medical school rule that a student be pregnant while in school, the punishment for such offence was immediate suspension and Nadia was summoned to defend herself. It was no news to the entire school that she was kidnapped for almost a month and so when she started her story of how she was raped continuously everyday, the professors and doctors who sat at the panel ready to suspend her, started crying, some were even applauding her for finding the courage to return back to school, so many of your mates wouldn’t be able to survive the traumer and so many will not return back to school, but you are a very strong woman and you came back, and I am so proud of you” that was the chief medical directors statement. And so after a 45minutes of sitting, it was concluded that Nadia be allowed to finish her school if she is ready and able. Nadia was so happy when they gave her their decision, she knelt down and cried and thanked them promising not to disappoint them.
Stanley and Frank already started buying baby things, and in no time the house was filled with everything a baby needed. Nadia was grateful, she was happy, she knew that her life will change once the baby comes, but she also knew she had shoulders to lean onto and people who will support her.
One day she and Ruth were in their way coming from their different classes, and they were walking home, she suddenly became thirsty and the branched at a shop to buy some water, and then she heard that voice, the voice that she can never forget in her whole life, she turned to see the direction it was coming from, and there they were, the four of them, sitting and drinking band smoking. Nadia froze at where she was standing, fear gripped her and she couldn’t move, Ruth didn’t know what was happening to her, ”Nadi, Nadi, what is it ? What is wrong? What’s happening to you, Nadia, talk to me, Ruth grabbed a chair and gave it to Nadia to sit down, but she was too frightened to sit, she suddenly turned and started running, Ruth ran and caught up with her and led her home, she made her sit and rest for a while and when she was calm again, Nadia explained what happened to Ruth and mama, and told them that the boys who kidnapped her were same boys she saw at that shop. Ruth quickly jumped up and called Frank, and in the next 15 minutes Frank was already there with Stanley, they quickly drove down to the shop where the girls had seen them, with Ruth sitting at the front of the car giving directions. By the time they got there. The boys were gone.
Stanley decided to ask the woman who owned the shop about the boys, but Ruth didnt think it was a nice idea, she felt if the woman knew them she might tell them that some persons came looking for them abs they may disappear for food. But Frank and Stanley told her not to worry that they know how to play the game. Then frank and Stanley went and sat down at a table and ordered for bottles of beer, they sat and drank for few minutes and then Stanley got up and went to the woman who stood there admiring the twins. ”Madam o, our friends been say them day come here come drink say make we meet them here, but hold up nor let us quick reach here and we nor fit call them because our phones don off. I nor know weather them don come go or them never reach here” the woman looked at him from head to toe and said ”who be your friend because I never see you for this my beer parlour before, if your friends day come here you suppose they follow them come here too, how come I nor know you? Frank laughed before answering, ”madam na because I nor day stay here, all of us na the same school we go and me and my brother na Lagos we day stay, na yesterday we enter town, we decide to hook up today,” he turned as if he was looking around for them, I nor know where those four aboki don’ enter now!
