Sleep With Me

Episode 5

Darasimi was bleeding which made me so suspicious.

“Darasimi, if you don’t tell me the reason why you are bleeding, I promise you, you will bleed to death in this room” I said furiously.

I took my phone and called a driver to convey us to an hospital. I also called her mother to inform her about her daughter’s condition. Her mum was scared. She was screaming on the phone. She told me she would be with us in a jiffy.

“Tell me what you did. Or were you poisoned…” I said immediately I entered the room. Please talk to me else, you will die here.

I was intentionally frank with her though I was scared within myself.

“Pleaseeeee, Nike, don’t let me die. I beg you. I will tell you everything. Just take me to the hospital” Dara pleaded.

“Hmmm!! , it is Mr Gbolahan ” . She cried out.

“What happened to Mr Gbolahan. What did he do to you?” I asked impatiently.

The driver came after 5 minutes of calling him.

We were taken to the emergency unit.

“Your friend took an expired medication for abortion which shredded her womb into pieces. And that’s the reason why she is bleeding. Infact, she has a complication. It will only take God’s intervention for her to survive.” The doctor said.

“Oh God, what has this girl gotten herself into.” I screamed.

After sometime, the bleeding stopped. She was being monitored closely.

I was so happy the bleeding stopped.

I was so impatient to know who was responsible for her pregnancy.

“Dara, who impregnated you?” I asked.

“Nike, it is a long story.” She replied.

Tell me the long story.

“Hmmm! , my boss impregnated me.” Dara said.

“Which boss? Don’t tell me that pastor Gbolahan impregnated you” I asked while my opened mouth refused to close

“Yes, he did” Dara said.

“Ahhhhh! , see life, but I thought you said he pastors a church” I asked.

“Yes he is a pastor” Dara replied as she continued

Nike, the day I went to his office to submit my application letter, he smiled and told me he was ready to employ me if and only if I meet his requirements.

When I asked about his requirement, he told me it’s a small thing. And the small thing is that I will visit him in an hotel and have a night with him…

“Is he not having a wife?” I cut in.

“Yes, he has a wife.” Dara said.

Nike, I went to the hotel to sleep with him just because I was so desperate for job. We used protection.

Little did I know that the “once” he told me wasn’t going to be once.

He started asking for more.

Whenever I object, he will threaten to sack me. So because of that, I pleased him.

All our sexual escapades were hidden from the wife.

Recently, he asked for sex as usual and we did it right in his office but…

No protection.

I felt it was impossible for me to be pregnant. Little did I know that a seed was forming in my belly.

I missed my periods.

Then I went for pregnancy test, I was confirmed positive. When it dawn on me that I was pregnant, I almost ran mad.

Inorder not to affect my relationship with Dele, I thought about abortion. I told my boss about it, he also supported the motion.

Nike, Mr Gbolahan gave me a bottle of medication. He told me the medication was meant for abortion. I took it, little did I know that the medication was going to have adverse effect on me.

“Ahhh, Darasimi, you hidded big secrets from me. Ah!, you never told me anything about this”. I said.

“Hmm, see human being, no wonder you were advising me to sleep with Bayo.” I shouted.

Not quite long, her mother entered. She travelled down to the hospital. She broke down in tears when she saw her daughter.

“Thank God you are still alive”. Her mother said.

Hmmm, all of a sudden, joy turned to sadness.

I cried my eyes out.

What actually happened?
