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?
