~Peter~

could it be that I'm over reacting?, No I don't think so, I know certainly she is  having an affair with that so called Kwesi.

Looking at how they have been walking together,there is no day that I wouldn't see them together,and I know definitely he has been sleeping with her. She disgust me alot, I feel this so much hate for her.

And I know nobody can be able to convince me that they have nothing between them, no way plus I'm a guy,and I know when a guy wants something in a lady there is no way he wouldn't get it.

Sitting at the tree shade picturing all that moments she was with that Kwesi or whatever he calls himself..while sitting I felt a hand on my shoulder which immediately brought me back to reality.

"Peter what have you been thinking about that you couldn't even notice my presence,what if I was a thief? I Know certainly I would have stolen everything in this house without your notice" He said as he chuckled.

I heaved a sigh as I continued.

Thinking about Adama.

"Huh!!? Adama you said? haven't I told you she is innocent, why are you making  the innocent girl suffer a crime she never committed" He muttered.

" Look, you don't know what you are talking about, I have seen her countless times with that guy, infact she isn't innocent stop making me feel guilty.

"That is it, you know she isn't what you're claiming she is, look go and make peace with her, you are making the innocent girl go through alot " he uttered.

" Go to who? I beg spare me all that" I exclaimed.

We were talking as the tone of my phone distracted us.

"Excuse me" I said to Eric as I answered the call.

"Hello"

"Hi"

Kwesi, you have to deny that pregnancy please.

What? I exclaimed as I continued.

Hello,are you there?? The call just ended.

Peter and who was that? Eric asked
It was Chisom" I muttered.

Chisom?, And what did she say?

Well, she was talking about me declining a pregnancy, I couldn't hear her well when the call ended.

"A pregnancy?"Peter what have you done this time" Eric asked

"We..well" I was still talking when Adama and her stepmom barged into my compound.

" Tell me which of them is responsible?"she yelled at her.

" This one!"Adama said as she pointed at me.

" Young man, do you know her?" She asked me.

" Yes I do" I muttered.

" She is your girlfriend right?" She asked.

"Well..well yes ma, but not anymore?" I replied.

"Young man I want you to take responsibility of what you did"

"What!?, I exclaimed as I continued.

Ma please I'm not responsible for her pregnancy" I uttered

"Peter!! What are you saying?" Adama beseeched.

"What??, You think I don't know what you have been doing with that so called Kwesi right?, Ooh, because he ran away,you are bringing another man's responsibility for me to takecare of?, Well sorry to disappoint you,I would never do such" I said as I looked at her disgustedly.

" Peter I swear to God, that no man has ever seen my nakedness except you peter"she said as tears flowed down her cheeks.

" Stop making me feel like I'm the bad guy here, for goodness sake Adama take her to the one responsible for the pregnancy, not me" I muttered.

" Look, Adama you better start taking to the one responsible for this" she yelled as she started hitting her hard,which made her to shed more tears.

She dragged her out of the compound.
" Peter, peter, peter?!

How many times have I called you, yoo

You better take care of your responsibility and stop making the young lady go through all this emotional trauma". He muttered.

"Look, I know I am not responsible for all these she is claiming'.

*******
~Adama~

I woke up this morning with a very terrible headache.

I went to the farm to fetch firewood upon reaching home my stepmom was yelling at  me for keeping long.

With all what she was saying I felt down unconscious.

I regained consciousness only to be beaten and asking me questions.

" Adama who is responsible for the pregnancy? My stepmom asked.

I was about opening my mouth to speak,when Chisom  interrupted.

" Mama it is peter oo, he is the one responsible" Chisom beseech.

" Look, Adama you have succeeded in bringing shame to this family, you better start taking me to that guy's house right this minute!" She yelled at me.

She started hitting me with her hand,and dragging me along with her as tears were streaming down my cheeks.

We reached  his compound, luckily he was at the compound with his friend Eric.

" She asked which of them was responsible? I pointed out at peter"

"Young man do you know her?" My stepmom asked.

"  Yes I do" he muttered.

" She is your girlfriend right?" She asked.

"Well..well yes ma, but not anymore?" He replied.

Upon hearing his response,it broke my heart even more.

"Young man I want you to take responsibility of what you did"

"What!?, He exclaimed as he continued. Ma please I'm not responsible for her pregnancy" he uttered.

"Peter!! What are you saying?" I beseeched.

What??, You think I don't know what you have been doing with that so called Kwesi right?, Ooh, because he ran away,you are bringing another man's responsibility for me to takecare of?, Well sorry to disappoint you,I would never do such"

I felt like someone was stabbing my chest with a knife.

" Peter I swear to God, that no man has ever seen my nakedness except you peter"I said as tears flowed down her cheeks.

" Stop making me feel like I'm the bad guy here, for goodness sake Adama take her to the one responsible for the pregnancy, not me" he muttered.

" Look, Adama you better start taking me to the one responsible for this" she yelled as she started hitting me hard,which made me to shed more tears.

She dragged me out of his compound.

"You have succeeded in bringing shame to this family" she continued hitting me and showering insults at me till we reached home.

I went straight to my room,I cried alot and was thinking about what Peter has said.

Peter can't do this to me, this isn't fair at all.

He has broken my heart deeply.

I will try again tomorrow, maybe it might that he wasn't in a good mood.

" Where is that useless girl that decided to bring shame to this family!!  My stepmom shouted as she entered the room.

Shameless girl, since you have decided to bring shame to this family I can't cater for you.

Hope you remember the warnings I gave you, I give you just two days to find the one responsible for this pregnancy of yours,if not prepare yourself to be married to an old man.

Stupid girl" she said as she left the room.

I cried myself to sleep.
