Title: Does Time Really Heal All Wounds?
She has made every effort to forgive and forget, but as the years passed by, the pain of remembrance became even more severe and she could not bring herself to forget the past even though she seemed to have forgiven. What really happened? She had met him School, she was young and impressionable, he was urbane and seemed to know the world better than anyone around him, he could speak in eloquent tones with high sounding words, he could make anyone believe him even when they don't really want to; he had met her just as she arrived the campus unaccompanied and he had pledged to be her companion; she was taken in by his charms, he could sweet mouth anyone into selling themselves for one cent. Even as he was talking to her (TT) the words of her Mother were reverberating in her ears - the only business you have in School is to bend down and study your books and pass your examinations in flying colours, men will come later; but those words were far receding into empty space as she was allowing herself to be sucked in by this "talkative of a man" who was making nonsense of all that had made sense to her before she came to this School. He was so full of life and promises that she literally hung on every word that came out of his mouth and before soon can become sooner, she wanted to be in his company "all the time". She was 18, he was 22; she was a Jambito, he was a Landlord; she believed him, she confided in him, she let her world revolve around him and so when he made moves to uncover her natural veil, she was not able to resist him even though her Mother's warnings always came as a shadow but she ignored them all. Around her, he was all lovey dovey, but at her back, he was a "devil incarnate" dealing with satan himself in the form of a cult where he even held a high post; he never let her know, she never knew. One day, her world came tumbling down and with it her life. He had written his last paper and was standing on the threshold of becoming a Graduate, he wanted to celebrate with her in a special way and so they arranged to meet up at their "secret place" - a space under a big tree close to the River; where they escape to whenever they needed to be away from friends and their prying eyes, they had never gone there in the night; but this day of his last paper was special and so he wanted them to spend some good time out there in the NIGHT. Her spirit was saying no but her body and her man were nudging her on to say yes, eventually she agreed to meet up. They had such a wonderful time, he behaved towards her like he would never meet her again, her other thought wondered why he was all so passionate, but the present thought didn't really bother. They went back to their Hostels around 11 pm and the following morning the guy left the School without as much as a good bye to his "bae". That was the last she heard from him, even when the result was released after 4 weeks, she hoped he would come down but he did not; 6 weeks later she found out that she was pregnant, she panicked, not knowing how to contact or even where to locate the guy, not willing to tell her parents or at least confide in her Mother, a friend of hers took her to a Chemist shop where they mixed drugs for her. The drugs not only made her bleed, but she bled so much for more than one week that she became very pale and while in the Class one of those days, she fainted and was rushed to the School's Medical Centre where emergency blood transfusion was done to resuscitate her. Two weeks later a pregnancy test revealed that she was still pregnant, this time she had no choice but to let her Mother know about everything. She had to withdraw from the School to have her baby who turned out to be a boy and an exact replica of her boyfriend of old. Fast Forward to this year - 10 years afterwards, she's married now but not happy. In all these years, she had heard nothing from or about her school boyfriend, she never knew where he came from, never knew any of his relatives, only friends at school who also knew nothing about him. Each time she sees her Son which is almost all the time, the pain and agony of abandonment take hold of her and when she's in that mood, even her husband cannot help her. After much was said about seeking counseling, she decided to meet up with a "Man of God" and after telling him her story, she told him, it is apparent that time does not really heal all wounds, it only heals the ones we want it to heal. Are you carrying any wound anywhere, is it a mortal wound? Can time heal it for you?
Until I come your way again, this is
