That night she couldn't sleep, she was restless very confused and frustrated. apparently she was going crazy, her eyes remained constantly damp with tears, her head was so chock-full with contradictory thoughts, not giving her the room to distinguish or contrast. but all of a sudden she decided she wouldn't wait any more. She has to leave as soon as possible, before it's late even though she haven't figured out exactly where to go.
           She aroused in the middle of the night and started packing her things. She wanted to leave before dawn when nobody would asked her questions or suspect her. 
"I can't go out into the street without directions. It's too risky especially for a lady like me, many of the guys out there can do anything to a lady. if I get harmed I have added more problems to the already existing one. what do I do? I can't stay here till morning, no i can't. But I don't know anyone here, only Amanda. And I can't.... God! what's this? I know Amanda is a very understanding person and she's been caring for me like a sister, even if I must keep this a secret, not to everyone, at least somebody needs to know in case anything happens. I will tell her, I have to, but how do I start, how?" 
         While still pondering about this she was packing her things. She took all she will be needing until she's due to return, it was a huge luggage altogether. After which it prompted her to make a call before heading out to be sure where to go and who to meet.
"Rosy, what's the matter? you are still awake by this time. Are you okay?" This was Amanda on the other side of the phone. 
"I'm coming to your place" Roselyn said with so much difficulty.
"Okay,..... wait! this night?"
"Yes"
"Why this urgent? is everything okay?"
"There's something I need to tell you"
"Alright, you know you can always tell me anything. your secrets are safe with me"
"Not on the phone"
"Ok, can't it wait till tomorrow?"
"It's better to be now, please"
"It's midnight Rosy, it's not safe outside. But 8f you think you can make it here, I'm around, you really don't sound good. Please be careful"
            The call ended, she dropped weakly on the bed like someone who has made a difficult decision and still contemplating whether to work towards it or withdraw. She sat for awhile blank and mixed, few minutes after she was on the road, the situation she was in didn't even let her think about the danger that accompanies such an unsafe hour. She didn't even care to call a bike, it was not near but was however a distance she could walk. Amanda has been calling her almost every five minutes to be sure she's safe.
"I was really worried" Amanda said on seeing Roselyn, she was waiting outside the house. "Where did the bike left you?"
"I didn't board any" 
"Not boarding is risky, boarding also is more risky. Many mischievous people roam about by this time disguised as bike riders looking for victims. Thank God you are safe after all"
          Amanda stared astoundingly, seeing her with a massive luggage like that was something she doesn't understand. She concluded she was given a quit notice at where she stays. But how could she be needing a simple help like that and she never talked to her about it? Could it be an emergency? 
"Please, come let's go inside. the night breeds evil" She helped her with the load and led her inside.
           Amanda's abode has a splendid look, so unusual for a lady of her standard, every item coated with beauty and excellence. it was a well furnished duplex. Every visit should feel like the first time but to Roselyn, nothing matters to her at that moment. What transpires in her mind already spared no vacuum for more. She sat quietly, she knows what was expected of her-to explain the reason for the emergency visit and sadness. She was deep in silence, she could hear her own slow but strong breath of fear and regret, her heartbeat wasn't making it easier for her to open her mouth for words. darkness was felt hovering, her beautiful life has crumbled utterly with a single mistake. What people call normal sweet life tends to be her ruin. 
"Please can you tell me what happened?" Amanda demanded. That sounded awakening, she probably has been keenly waiting for her convenient time but that seemed not to be coming. 
"I have wanted to tell you but my head was often meddled with uncertainty" Roselyn mumbled in despair. 
"What exactly is that?" Amanda asked attentively. "You are safe here"
"At first I didn't comprehend it, I went to the hospital and the result was for fever. I wished for that, so it got me the anticipated stillness. The trembling ocean of doubts and worries within was let to lie in calmness. Life blossomed back to normal. but nevertheless, as time proceeds with happenings I realize the symptoms haven't bailed out my body its hostility. I tried to process things on my own but my capability was lagging behind so I have to make another consultation which wholly contradicted the first result proving it to be false... "
"Please Rosy, what's the summary of these whole thing?"
               Roselyn raised her head for the first time, it was dim but the shimmering silver looking liquid crawling down her cheek could be seen. She felt like one who is about to admit being guilty of a crime that might take her life. 
"I am pregnant" She said with all the energy she could combine and simultaneously fell to a pitiable weep. Amanda didn't say a word yet, her first move was to pull her close to her arms and console her.
"I know. I already knew you were pregnant, remember i made mention of your body changes. but I wanted the good news to come from your mouth. You have no reason to feel downcast, I see this as a blessing despite it's coming at this time you ain't prepared to welcome it. Many haven't been granted this opportunity after many years of their marriage, those can go anywhere or do anything to have one. A child is her mother's pride. without children, there's no family, there's no home. Now, imagine this person in your womb is your only gift of a child, will you reject its coming or consider it a wrong timing? I'm happy you have been so thoughtful not to get rid of it. I'm super proud of you. keep it, let's love it and cherish it and make it feel more like a blessing rather than the cause of its existence"
             This words got her weeping the more. She never saw such a comforting speech coming. it emptied her of the burden lurking within, freeing up space and letting tears wash the agony and guilt away. 
"Amanda, I really don't want to stay here. I can't face them"
"I get your point, don't worry, we will talk about it at dawn, you are stressed, for that reason you need to rest your head otherwise it will be another new problem to face tomorrow. Alright? Don't stress our baby with your restlessness. Compose yourself and give it the best womb stay it deserves. You are always safe with me Rosy. You shouldn't let the waves of life snatch you your happiness and beauty. Somethings are bad due to how we consider them, some things become problem because we gave them the chance to. In life there are things we need to embrace even though they go against our wish, that will better explain to you that this life is not in our hands to decide. Like the word is said, we are like a pen in the hands of the maker, He doesn't need our opinion to commence or proceed. We get what we want at times not because we planned well, not because we outsmart the others or because we deserve it but sometimes because our wished aligns with God's, or because God, for a reason best known to him wants to favour us. Rosy, I see joy coming"
               Roselyn was calm, she haven't felt consolation in days. But not completely, she knows those words were virtually untrue. it was crafted to have her troubled mind rest. For she can not be happy as she was before the beginning of this whole stuff, not being able to find her lover or the family makes it even more difficult to endure. But she has to take this words, she has no options besides it's not the worst thing that has happened to someone.
