Season 1- Episode (7)
It was at this point she realized the tears in Aba’s eyes. She got worried and asked Aba what had happened to her.
“Jeremy made me drink yesterday and slept with me. I woke up to realize he was gone. I have tried his line severally, but it was switched off.” She said with a tearful voice. “He took my pride from me. He broke my virginity.”
Aba cried again. Stella couldn’t believe her ears. She burst out into a loud laughter. “Is this the reason why you are looking like someone who has lost both parents in an accident?” She asked rhetorically. “Look! This is the beginning of good things to come. You should rather be happy that your first time was with a rich and handsome dude and not with some campus rat. Let me tell you something, it is painful the first time, but you will enjoy it later. It is rather unfortunate that your experience turned out to be this way. Relax and wipe those tears off your face. Everything will be all right.”
With the comfort from Stella, Aba wiped the tears off her face. Stella promised to introduce her to more guys who would appreciate her.
Now, Bernard couldn’t hold on any longer, Aba’s saddened face kept replaying in his head. The dimples he cherished so much had disappeared from Aba’s cheek. Her radiating smile had also disappeared. He wanted to see Aba back in her usual mood again. He decided to call and check up on her to see if she had calmed down. On second thought, Bernard changed his mind to visit her again in her room. He got up from the bench he was sitting on and headed to Aba’s room.
Back at Aba’s room, Stella had been successful in consoling her. She was now happy and was chatting freely with her roomies.
Bernard knocked on Aba’s door and Erica came to open the door for him. She already knew who he was and his purpose. Actually, they have spent more time talking about him and his advances towards their friend Aba. “Aba, you have a visitor.” Erica said as she went back into the room, leaving the door open. “Who?” Aba asked in surprise because she wasn’t expecting anybody. “Bernard!” Erica responded Aba with a surprised look. She was surprised Aba was asking who it was since Bernard had been the only person visiting her since they came to the school. Erica had no idea that Aba had two guys in her life. She was kept in the dark so as the other roomies except Stella.
Bernard, seeing the door had been left ajar entered the room. Aba was already seated on her bed typing. “Oh God! Am really not in the mood.” Aba thought silently, but dared not to voice it out to Bernard’s hearing. Bernard came to sit right beside Aba on the bed. Aba was still typing, although she had seen Bernard sitting right beside her. She was trying to do everything possible to make Bernard go away. She needed her privacy at that moment. She had gone through hell the previous day and she really needed to be alone.
Bernard was happy to see the glow return to Aba’s face. That was all he was after. He realized Aba was still typing and assumed that she would wrap up to talk to him soon. To lift the mood in the room, he started chatting with the other roommates. Everyone seemed busy and it was only Erica that was responding to his conversation. They both talked about a lot of things within that short period. It was then they both realized they shared a lot of things in common. This made their conversation more interesting.
In the midst of his chat with Erica, he was hoping Aba would finish typing so they could have a little chat. But it seemed the typing would never end. Sensing how busy Aba was at that moment, he decided to excuse himself and come back later. He tapped Aba on her shoulders to get her attention. When he was sure he had gotten her attention, he excused himself with the promise of visiting later. After all, Aba was smiling again and that was his greatest concern.
Stella was invited to a high class party outside campus. The party was supposed to hold a lot of dignitaries. She was able to convince Aba to accompany her. Aba was promised heaven on earth at the party. They both went out to shop for attires for the party later on in the day.
At 10:00pm, a limousine came to pick them up to the party. All the roomies joined. They all wanted to have fun and to get themselves acquainted with the big shots in town.
When they got to the party, it had already started. A lot of girls were at the party and most of them were sitting either beside or on the laps of the old men present. Stella quickly saw her date. She held Aba’s hand and dragged her along to introduce her.
“Hello Alhaji,” Stella greeted the old man while hugging him. “Hello Stella. I am glad you could make it. I will spoil you tonight with some wonderful treats.” Alhaji said while still hugging Stella.
It was at this moment that Alhaji recognized Aba. He immediately asked Stella whom her friend was. Stella introduced Aba to Alhaji as her roommate. Alhaji told Aba to feel comfortable because there were lots of food and wine and she could eat and drink as much as she can.
Aba kept to herself through most part of the party. All her roommates were occupied. They had all hooked up with some of the old men at the party and were having a nice time. Aba moved away from the music and loud speakers. She wanted to walk around the house. She loved the architectural view of the house.
She came to the swimming pool and sat on the edge of the pool. She removed her shoes and dipped her feet into the cold water while sipping her drink. She was enjoying herself in her little environment that she didn’t realize she had company. Someone had sat beside her and was staring at her. He was very surprised that the young lady hadn’t recognized his presence in the past five minutes.
He touched her to announce his presence. Aba was startled and fell into the swimming pool. Unfortunately, she fell into the deepest depth in the pool and didn’t know how to swim too. Aba was struggling to get her feet on the floor tiles of the pool but to no avail. She plunged into the water immediately. She wanted to scream for help, but her lungs were immediately filled with water. She was choking, shrieking and struggling. Aba was dying.
Will it be Aba’s last day on earth? Will she survive this tragedy?
Watch out for the next episode.
