He dared to ask me not to take his son away from him.
His son? the son, he rejected and denied.

I was just a teenager, new to love and wished to be loved. He came, promised the world and never let go of us; only for those words to be a mere utterance that would never amount to nothing but regret.
What was I even expecting from a nineteen year old boy__who was coping to feed from his parents, who can't afford things without his parent's aid and won't be able to give me anything.
I just want his LOVE and nothing else mattered, except from our unending love for each other. We did everything together, played together and those memories are still so vivid__we had this spot, we named it, where we would meet every weekend. I still remember stealing from my mother for him. There was nothing on earth he asked of me, I didn't give. I guess that was the biggest mistake I made for myself. Always letting him have his way.
It was his nineteenth birthday. We met at our usual spot. I wanted to wish him a happy birthday. I bought a gift for him but he refused.
Obinna wanted more__he wasn't happy with the gift.

"We love each other and it's right for us to proof our love"
I refused this one thing he asked for, telling him how I promised my mother never to do such except when married. I thought he would understand and respect my choice but He cut me off; he didn't smile at me and he stopped coming to our meeting spot.
It continued for days and I decided to give in. I couldn't see myself living without his love and that would forever be my worst moment of regret. I give in to his ridiculous demand. I give him everything, both my body and heart.

We can never hide anything from the surface of the earth, neither can wrong be right regardless how we try to paint it so. I started feeling feverish and eager to vomit most of the time. I missed my period. My mother noticed my recent behavior and somehow she knew even without me knowing.
"Bia, Nnenna who is the father of that child"
" How could you do this to me, after all my advice and you promised me"
" Nnenna has brought shame and disgrace to me oo"
I had to say who. I was dragged to Obinna's family house.

" Jesus! I don't know her__i only met her a few times at school. that all I know of her"
Those words still ring in my head every second. The one person I trusted and loved, denied our existence. He denied knowing me.
how could him forget the love we profess to each other. how could he forget so soon.
I lived each day not forgetting this pain and suffering. And read my lips__"I would never get to forgive and forget till my last breathe"
