                       ***

She felt something wet in her wrapper. Just as she stretched her hand to check...

"Yaa Allah! (Oh God!) Blood!!" She streamed to herself, all alone in the room.

"What did Asgar do to me, why didn't he tell me about this? He disvirgined me..." Her heart shievered as her best birthday finally turned into the worst, into a nightmare!

                   *********

Weeks Later...

Hadiza went to the hospital to take a test after what happened. The doctor confirmed she was pregnant.

She passed out when she heard the result was positive. The nurses rushed to treat and sonsole her. One of the matrons who was close to hadiza advised.

"Life goes on, Hadi. Go and find Asgar, explain things to him. Sure he would understand you."

"I never imagined something like this would ever happen." Her shaky voice muttered.

"You should have been more careful with who to trust and not to... You've been the most innocent girl I've known, Insha Allah (If God wills), everything would get better. Alhamdulillah (Thank God) you weren't infected with any disease.

The matron helped her home, hoping things would fall in place soon.

"Is friendship the reason of shame? of disgrace? Noone from my uncle's house my hear about this, I'll be so dead." She said as tears dropped down her cheeks.

Hopeless Hadiza cried out her eyes.

                      ****

"Psst! Pssssst!!"

Hadiza gets the attention of Azeezah, her coworker who is also a janitor.

She runs to her and whispers
"Assalam 'Alaikum(Peace be upon you)."

"Wa'a Alaikum Sallam! (Peace be upon you too!)." Azeezah replied joyfully and hugs her tight.

A couple of people turned to look at them as the crazy workers.

"Shhh... Keep it low." Hadi whispered.

"What happened to you? It's been five weeks now, Were you sick? You look so dried. Tell me" She raised her eyebrows, wearing a tell -me -all -of -it look.

"It's nothing actually, I'm fine. Common, I need to speak to you privately." I quickly took to a corner.

"I thought you resigned. I lost the piece of paper you wrote your address on, I wanted to pay you a visit but I couldn't."

"I'm coming room 105. The door was locked. What happened?"

"I thought you guys were dating. Didn't he tell you?"

"Didn't he tell me what? What happened to him?"

"Ughhh! Don't tell me you didn't tell you he went back to the States!"

"What? The states?!"Tears of regret gathered in her sad eyes.

"Yes, it's been a month now. At a point, I was even thinking you left with him."

"Astagfirullah! (Forgive me Lord!)." Tears poured down her eyes.

"Hadi! What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Azeezah asked breathlessly.

Hadiza kept silent.

She tried to talk, to tell how fast her heart was burning but she couldn't find the words to. Hadi just broke into tears, Azeezah gave her another tight hug and took her somewhere outside.

"Did Asgar hurt you? Please don't keep silent just tell me."

Yes he did...Asgar hurt me a lot. He drugged my drink and disvirgined me on my birth day. Now I'm carrying a child for him" Hadiza"s teeth rattling like those of a convulsing child.

"I'm so confused... I thought Asgar was a perfect gentleman, I had crushes for him. Something bad must have pushed him to do it... Do you even had his phone number?"

"No I don't... He bought me a phone I don't even have a Sim card." She broke down again.

Azeezah held her hands with a deep depth of emotion flowing through her mind.

"Even if we aren't that close, You're just like a sister to me. I wouldn't want this for my worst  enemy. I hope and pray he comes back."

Azeezah's words brought lightened hadiza's heart.

"Insha Allah (If God wills) he will. I just can't continue working here."

"Why? How would you cope alone?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll be alright." Hadi faked a smile and stood up, as if her problems had finally got solutions. "I'll be on my way now, I would come and check on you later.

"Okay then, I'll just go back and continue my cleaning." Azeezah said pointing back with her thumb. 

About to cross the road, a car almost hit her. She fell and passed out. Azeezah, who has almost gotten inside heard the noise and ran to the scene.

"Hey coward! Get back here!!" A good Samaritan alarted.

People gathered around her as a woman selling provision bursted and sprinkled sachet water on her face.

"What just happened?" Azeezah asked in dismay but nobody answered.

"Hadi! Open your eyes now" She pleaded,   sprinkling more water on her. Soon, Hadi opened her eyes, it brought everyone so much relieve and joy.

"Alhamdulillah! (Thank God!) You're back!!" Azeezah's hugs her friend. Some people helped her up while others left the spot to continue their daily activity.

"I feel so dizzy and weak... I need to go home now." Hadi muttered with a hoarse voice.

"Okay then, I'll take you home. Don't worry, everything would be fine." She assured.

"Are you sure she's okay now." One guy asked.

"Yes, she is. Thanks a lot for the helping hands. You guys literarily saved her life." Azeezah thanked the people that helped her friend. Stopped a taxi and took her home.

                        *****

Minutes Later...

Azeezah, held hadi's waist and supported her to move gently.

Immediately they got home, Hadi laid herself on the bed. Hadi sat by her side for a while and cooked before leaving.

Don't worry, every pain would fade away. Time they say heal all wounds. Just take care of yourself and be the boss lady that you are... Be strong for your innocent baby and eat well okay."
Hadiza holds her hands and looked around the small room.

"I've prepared dinner for you pounded yam and Okro soup. Make sure you eat before you sleep and try to use this pain killer." She has Hadi a sachet of panadol.

"I would try as much as possible to visit you. This is my phone number and don't forget I'm here if you need anything, okay? Take this." She hands a two thousand naira notes.

"Okay, I'll try to buy a Sim card as soon as possible when i get the strength to and I would call you maybe tomorrow insha Allah (If God Wills). Thanks for everything, Azeezah. You're so kind."

"Oh don't mention, what are friends for? Bye now and take care okay? I might check on you tomorrow."

"Okay, bye..." Azeezah waves to her friend. Stops a taxi and heads home.

                    ********

Throughout the night, Hadiza couldn't find any sleep. Her head banged and body ached all over. She managed to take three gulps of the pounded yam, she apparently loser appetite.

All she did throughout the night was thinking about the time the spent together. Everything still sounded like a dream to her, it was unbelievable.

"How would I ever go to college? I'm miserable, Asgar is such a beast! I thought he was going to be my saviour..."

The call clock struck 8:00 a.m. She woke up from her thoughts and stood up. Took a bath and prayed for God's forgiveness and mercy. Most of all, that Asgar should come back so she would be able to explain things to him.

                  ****

“How do I go from here?” tears dropped down her boney-cheeks as she dragged her lazy body to the one-room apartment where she resides alone.

She became devastated about everything...

"Maybe Kano was better of?" She muttered to herself.

After his disappearance,  she decided to continue working... Maybe she'll finally find him one day, but he never came back.

Standing up from the corridor,  where she was thinking. Hadiza thought of giving birth to the baby and working hard at the same time. Busy working, managing to save the little she could untill she could finally sponsor herself in college was her plan to success.

Her thoughts swirled around how she’ll bring up the child alone.... to become a single mother at her early age. By this time, my mum was only seventeen.
