I WISH I HAD LISTENED TO MY PARENTS
How I wish I can turn back the hands of time but it's rather too late now. As a young girl, I had everything gong on for me. I was intelligent and from an average family. My parents ensured that I did not lack anything. I had always been at the top right from my primary school days till secondary school. It all began when I gained admission into Maybelline University, Accra.
My first year in the university was smooth and I succeeded in warding off every distraction. In my second year, i moved into a different hostel and there, I met three girls who were a year ahead of me. The girls were Ayo, Mabel and sharon. I noticed that these girls were very close and they all had something in common which was unseriousness. They hardly attend lectures and barely sleep in the hostel. I made sure that i didn't get too close to them or ask silly questions. To get me interested, they were always talking about how rich they are. They flaunted new bags, shoes and assessories.
One fateful day, my curiousity got the better of me and I decided to follow them to Sharon's birthday party. She said her boyfriend wanted to celebrate it for her and that we will be back before night fall. Kunle her boyfriend was already waiting outside in his car. We got to the hotel after about an hour. I was introduced to a young man called Daniel. We exchanged contacts and things kicked off pretty soon between the two of us. I went to clubs several times With Daniel, after that day.
After some months, I became pregnant and I felt that Daniel would be happy about it since he promised to marry me. I visited him in his house to inform him the same day I got tested only to meet the greatest surprise of my life. I met a young lady in his house who introduced herself as Daniel's fiancee. I was shocked beyond words when I heard that. To worsen the situation, Daniel came out soon after to confirm her words. He denied knowing me when she asked him who I was. At that moment, i felt like vanishing into thin air. I couldn't even tell him what I wanted to; I opened my mouth but words wouldn't come out. I turned and went back to my hostel in shame. I took a few of my clothes and went home for the semester break.
At home, I kept vomitting and was taken to the hospital where I was confirmed pregnant. My parents were disappointed as i didn't even have anyone to present as the father of my child. I remembered all the Christian upbringing I had as a child. Alas! I thought to myself, how I wish I had listened to my parents.
