First relationship is always accompanied with a lot of dramas, those day I was so eager to have a girlfriend and know what it feels like. I was lucky enough I got a first timer like me, who wanted to give it a try too.
Everything started very well, we were so into each other like we were going to get married the next day. Calls were 24/7 affair. Sometimes the sweetness of the love makes me want to go under the bed to pick her calls.
The love was going hot, hot. You know Learners always have their problems. She was just seeing me like her king and I was seeing her like my queen of course. Along the line something happened . I don't know where she got the information that a touch could get a lady pregnant. How fast bad news spread, gosh!
Both of us were really ignorant of what a touch really meant so, when she shared the message with me I became more scared than she was. Though thanks be to God I never even shook her before since we started dating so my mind was at ease but I was still still scared.
Different thoughts were running through my mind, what ifs were just flowing in And out from no where and I am obviously not ready to be a father. You know sometimes lovers could mistakenly hold hands, I was wondering what if I mistakenly do that one day? Hmm.
You may want to know why I just took the information from her when she broke the news right? The thing is my mom once told me about it but I took it for joke now that my girlfriend is talking about it, means it is true. If it were a lie, how did the person who told my girlfriend knew about it?
After that day we agreed not to see each other again and even if we see, we wont be close to each other to avoid any trouble. I consented after the picture of all the boys who got ladies pregnant in my community ran through my mind, I don't want to be a victim.
Weeks later, it was my girlfriends birthday, I got her a very beautiful wrist watch, out of excitement, she ran and jumped on my body. It didn't even occur to me that I was hugging her at the moment. It was after the hug that both of us remembered that we just touched each other.
Hmm, I did as if nothing happened, hit my clothes and sat down forcing smiles out of my face, my heart started beating , but I refused to believe what just happened. Soon my mood changed. I couldn't even stay till the end of the birthday celebration, I rushed home and started praying rebuking every spirit of pregnancy.
I confessed all my sins and promised not to ever touch any lady again. After the prayers I went to my mom and asked if it's true that ladies get pregnant when they are being touched, mom said ye, even handshake could get a lady pregnant. I almost peed on my pants when I heard that part.
I was thinking that the lady didn't keep the memory about the hug, few days later, this girl started bombarding Me with calls after calls. Jane what's the problem? She would be like I think I am really pregnant.
I am feeling feverish, my eyes are turning red, I can't eat like before, what did you do to me.. and she would start crying then hang up. I would call and beg and tell her all the sweet words in the world and of course plenty lies along side and she would calm down.
This thing continued for months, I was not seeing sign of pregnancy yet this lady won't let me be both of us were too scared, a little catarrh she's already calling me, a little cough she's at my house.
Four months and the stomach didn't even protrude a little to show for it. Guys I even started making plans on how to start buying babies clothes. I already accepted my fate and was to be a father in some months times.
One of those days I felt I should let my mom know about it so that she won't be taken unawares. So as a wise boy, I started with apologies and making fake promises, each time mom she's me in that condition, she knows I have done something wrong.
So she asked what the matter is and I told her, I hugged a lady during her birthday and now she's pregnant, I think almost four months.
My mom was like wait, you mean you got a lady pregnant? I said I didn't mean it, she was the one that hugged me in front of everyone, I didn't mean it. My mom laughed loud, you mean you got her pregnant througha hug? You are dumb.. how many times have I been hugging you?
That was when she explained what touch really meant to me, I was so embarrassed to see how naive I was. I called my girlfriend instantly and ask her to abort the plan of getting babies clothes she isn't pregnant. I wish I knew who told her that thing.
