It had been a month since she resumed work;
she discovered she missed her job and the
thrills that came with it. Dishing out
relationship advice was something she loved to
do, you learnt also by teaching others.
‘Hello dear, how are you?’ She placed the
phone against her ears. Iman was her best
friend and nothing could change that. Her
relationship with Obinna had gotten serious.
‘You sound dull, are you okay Iman?’ She
repeated.
‘No Narissa, I am scared. I think I have made
a mistake that could cost my relationship’ she
stammered.
‘A mistake? What did you do? Did you cheat on
Obinna? What mistake are you talking about?’
Narissa wondered.
‘I am pregnant Rissa, what should I do? I am
scared of having an abortion’ Iman cried over
the phone.
‘Hey, calm down and stop making a fuss.You
apparently have not told Obinna yet, so tell him
first and let’s see what happens’ Narissa
advised.
‘Okay, thank you’ Iman replied, then burst out
with laughter.
‘Iman? What’s wrong? Why are you laughing?’
Narissa was confused.
‘I pranked your ass! April fool!’ Iman yelled
over the phone.
‘Wow, I work so hard that I forget dates! You
really got me this time Iman, I owe you one’
Narissa let out the breath she had been
holding. The thought of a pregnant Iman sent
shivers down her spine, what if Obinna changed
after the pregnancy? Her friend’s man was a
good and loving person, so was Ife, the man
she had once loved. Men couldn’t be trusted.
