Sapa!

"I once loved a lady and she broke my heart into pieces, now each piece is loving different ladies" were the exact words Seun Rhema told Judith the day she caught him cheating on her again. 

She was hurt and awe-stricken by his audacity to look her straight in the eyes and tell her trash. If she's were not pregnant, I'm sure that she would have picked up her lugage and left his house.

That evening her stupid military boyfriend left her all alone because he couldn't handle her nagging and went to the Officers Mess to chill.

Judith couldn't sleep as she reminisced over the good times they once had and the red flags she foolishly ignored because she was so damn in love with him and how she got pregnant. 

Despite being a serial cheat, she prefered Seun Rhema to me but we remained very close friends. 

She called me crying and asking for what to do next. My only regret was that I told Judith to pin the pregnancy on Seun Rhema because I didn't want him to kill me for impregnating his girlfriend. Watching someone else father my unborn child freaks me out but I had no choice. 

In case you are wondering, I and Judith never dated. I was never her boyfriend, I am just her bestie, in fact her Seun Rhema thinks that I'm her cousin. I loved this girl but she friendzoned me and loved him instead but when she needs a shoulder to lean on, guess who shows up? me, who understands her better? me, who knows how to cheer her up and her mumu button? me. 

"Judith, just endure whatever it is. my forex trading is promising and I've been making a lot in stocks and Crytos lately. Once I hit $30,000. We'll quietly and quickly leave the country. Just I and you and our son. Biko no worry" I assured her. 

"Caleb. please don't fail me oh. This is the only sensible option. If he catches us we are dead." 

"I know baby. Just hang on. You are in your second trimester. before our son gets to 3 months we go jakpa. We'll celebrate this with a sweaty bottle of champagne as soon as we reach Amsterdam" I reassured her but this time she was sobbing loudly which made me a little bit upset. 

"Judith why are you crying. Shey I just told you our plans na. talk to me" 

"Bastard. So that's what you and this stupid girl have been up to abi? I will kill both of you and hang myself" was what I heard from the other line and it was Seun Rhema's voice. 

I know too well that my plan was not the preposterous thing to do but.... just forget. 

Now like this headache, dia dey worry me, I have symptoms of suicide, syphilis and depression with a little bit of yellow fever. I need a fine girl to hide me in her apartment for a while before the coast is clear so that I can run to Cotonou.  See what Buhari has caused.
