I was so scared and worried about adebimpe's
silence and sudden disappearance. I couldn't
hold it anymore and I have no choice than to
open up to the only best friend I have on the
following weekend when we met at his house.
ME: sege, fear dey catch me oooo
SEGE: wetin happen?
ME: na bimpe matter
SEGE: you and this bimpe!!, haba onihaxy??,
abi na blood covenant dey between the two of
you?,
ME: you won't understand jaree.
SEGE: all the time "you won't understand".
Then when exactly will I understand?
ME: *** serious look*** ok, this is why I'm
worried
SEGE: **re-adjusted sitting position**. Ok I'm
listening.
ME: at first, she had disappeared for like over
2 years, now we met at the hospital and she
acted so nice to me.
SEGE: so?
ME: but she refused to give me her number,
she refused to call me, she didn't let me know
her house address, and now I was told that
she had resigned from the hospital 2 weeks
after I left abuja.
SEGE: how did you know she resigned.
ME: I asked the doctor when I called him.
SEGE: so you still dey ask of bimpe from the
doctor?. You no well ooo.
ME: you won't understand sha.
SEGE: so why are you really worried?
ME: bimpe might be a ghost or "akudaya".
Who knows, maybe she was dead before.
SEGE: chaiiii, onihaxy, you too funny sha.
ME: and you know we had sex.
SEGE: and so?, sebi you used condom?, see,
as long as sperm no enter her p---y, nothing
go happen. If anything wan happen spiritually,
na through sperm e dey take happen.
ME: ***deep breath***, segun, let me be
sincere, I didn't use condom.
SEGE: haaaaa!!!!!!!, onihaxy!!!!!, you sha wan
kill yourself ontop 5minutes enjoyment?.
ME: segun, I'm scared.
SEGE: sebi clinic dey down the street?
ME: yes,
SEGE: oya stand up, we dey go do test.
Segun cajoled me and forced me to follow him
to the clinic. I was so scared because it was
my first time of doing HIV test.
We got to the hospital and we were directed
to the right center within the clinic. I paid
1,000 at the reception, I met a lot of people
there, pretty looking ladies in various
complexions. some were doing meeting, some
were queueing for drug, some were been
counselled. I got scared the more and my
heart almost burst out of my chest as I began
to imagine what would happen when these
same girls get out of the clinic to have raw
sex with guys.
The doctor who wanted to attend to me
counselled me first about hiv. She told me
that it is not the end of the world incase I
come out positive, she continued the sweet
talk but my mind wasn't in all her talks. She
proceeded in taking my blood samples after I
filled a form. I was with her in the room and
segun was sitting at the reception. After
obtaining the samples, she told me to return
in the evening of the second day. We left the
hospital with my heart so burdened.** Chai!!,
HIV itself isn't the killer, but the fear of having
it***.
On the evening of the second day. I stopped at
segun's house and we went together to the
hospital for the result. Segun waited for me
again at the reception while I went to meet the
doctor myself. I told her my name and she
began to search through the envelope and
after a moment of searching. She brought out
the envelope but refused to give it to me,
instead, she started counselling me again. And
this time, my heart was beating faster as the
sermon was more lengthy than that of the
previous day
