Sometime ago, precisely in 2010 there was this girl working in my brother's hotel, name withheld. We became very close friends with time and shared very many secrets together, i almost dated her at a time but our closeness never allowed it happen because we where almost like brother and sister so she started dating this customer that was so all over her and she told me about it, i gave her one or two tips i had about the guy, after months on the relationship then came this guy from Spain who came to lodge with us, this guy spent about a month with us and i was very suspicious of both my friend and the guy, i asked her to find out what was going on but she lied that nothing was between them but i never knew that this girl will close of from her duties in the night and sneak into the guy's room. After a month of hide and seek the guy traveled back to Spain and this girl became pregnant, i was the first to find out and she said her boyfriend was responsible, we called the guy and i followed her to inform the guy of the news and the guy wanted her to abort the baby but the girl refused and said she was going to have the baby, i thought it was the right thing to do but i never knew that this girl was hoping to keep the baby because the rightful father lives in Europe and was rich, after so much persistence the boyfriend agreed to take responsibility of the unborn child and the girl later moved in with him and she stopped working with us, i lost contact with her for a very long time.
After about a year + she called and wanted to visit me and i was very happy to see her because is has been a long time we last saw, after talking for about 2 to 3 hours she opened up why she had come to see me, she said she was living with the wrong father of the child she was holding and she told me all that happened with her and the guy from Spain that the Spain guy was responsible, i was very shocked and she was crying, she said all she wanted from her boyfriend was shelter for sometime until she was able to contact the guy from Spain and tell him of the news but she became stoke with the boyfriend because she was unable to get any means of communication with they guy from Spain so she had no place else to go so the need for her to remain with the boyfriend, i was so dumbfounded to the extend that for some minutes i couldn't say a word because this was what i thought only happen in movies and i was seeing it live, so my question was what do you want to do now and she said she was from a poor home and she wanted her child to have a good life unlike her so that was why she deliberately got pregnant for the guy from Spain and i was angry with her at first but i later calmed down because she wanted my help as i was the first and the only person she had and was telling this to.
I offered to help her locate the guy from Spain because i knew some of his friends that came visiting him when he was a guest with us, so i set out to look for them and i saw one of them about 2 weeks later, i told him what i had heard and he said he was aware of the affair and offered to help located the guy's family house so that we can go tell them, he said if the family can be informed the guy will be informed too wherever he was. So i called the girl and told her of the news and she was So happy, i arranged a meeting between her and the guy's friend and he followed her and showed her the house, i decided not to go with her because i didn't want to be caught in the middle of it all so she went alone and after the meeting with they guy's parents she came crying because those people rejected her and called her names, they said she didn't come looking for them at first and that she went and stay with another man and they said as "binis" it was an abomination so she and the child was rejected, don't forget that at this time the boyfriend was still not aware of what was going on because i decided to keep quite and help her out.
She can back and told me all that had happened and i told her to see the bright side of it all that the most important thing was that the family is now aware that the guy also will be aware sooner or later so she went back home to her boyfriend who was still taking care of both her and the child, this happened for almost another year or so and last year she called and was crying, she said the boyfriend had found out that he was not the father of the child, how come i asked and she said the baby became ill and on getting to the hospital he needed blood and after checking the man's blood they found out that he was not the father of the child then she had to run for her life and that she had relocated to the village to stay with her parents and that her parents where not even giving her a safe landing too as they where ashamed of her and that they want her out, so i advised her to go back to the rightful father's family house so that they know she was serious and that if need be that she should offer to leave their child with them and walk away for the benefit of the child because i knew she was not capable of taking care of that child on her own, instead she went there and was demanding for the opposite, it wasn't too long i realised what she was doing, i realised she wasn't concerned about the family's acceptance of the child, she want to be accepted as well so she is using the child as a bait to get the guy who lives in Spain, she dreams that one day he will come back and marry her, i got annoyed and hated being used so i abandoned her on it as well.
She called me some few weeks back and told me she is still in the village with the child.
Why did i put this into writing? You know sometimes we have to keep people's secrets, good or bad, is it okay to keep those secrets when we know someone else is suffering because of it? Was i playing a good friend and a bad person the same time? should i have informed the boyfriend that the baby was not his? How will you rate my contribution in this story. All said, sometimes i think about it and i am happy the truth is finally out.
