UNKNOWN ANGEL
By Fred Nwaozor
It was unarguably a groovy outing and a night
of bacchanalian revelry. The dance floor was abruptly turned into something
else. Obviously, everyone within the hotel hall was extremely excited and
motivated owing to the availability of edible varieties which included assorted
wines, snacks, meals, and what have you, coupled with the exotic hip-hop jams
being played by the Disc Jockey.
Different groups comprising males and females were variously seriously
dancing with bottles of wine in their hands at strategic locations in the
magnificent hall. It was undoubtedly a high-quality variety disco night made up
of classic men and ladies in psychedelic wears and moods that even the blind
could see for themselves.
On his part, the celebrant, Chibuike
– a high class bachelor – who was gladly catching his fun with his friends and
kin was marking his 36th birthday as usual. Being a promiscuous
dude, he was dancing with the lady he had chosen to spend the remarkable day
with, at one of the corners in the hall. The epoch-making event was taking
place at one of the classic hotels situated in the city of Owerri the capital
territory of Imo State, Nigeria where Chibuike and most of the invitees were
resident in.
“So,” Chima who was seemingly
tipsy said. “Who invited you to the show?”
The said dude, an old time friend of Chibuike,
was one of the highly respected invitees in the occasion. He was ardently
catching his fun with one of the female invitees, Ogechi. Both of them whom
were apparently drunk were passionately dancing to the tune of the unending
music with bottles of red wine in their hands likewise others present at the
arena. The most intriguing and unfortunate aspect of it was that Chima who was
a prosperous banker residing in Owerri quit bachelorhood barely few weeks back
and had successfully wedded in the church.
More interestingly, he rounded off his 4-week honeymoon with his lovely
wife the previous day. Needless to say that his lifestyle wasn’t unlike that of
the event host, Chibuike who was yet to settle down in spite of the overflowing
wealth he was making in his importation business. To say the least, Chima, 35,
managed to tie the knot due to the persistent importunate behaviour he received
from his parents whom were also based in Owerri. As the saying goes, ‘birds of a
feather flock together’. He had lied to his newly-wedded wife, Nnenna that he
was sent by his employer to Lagos State on an errand, which according to him would last for two days.
“Nkiru,” Ogechi responded,
referring to who invited her to the event. “Chibuike’s babe.” She added.
Nkiru was the lady who was rocking the night
with the celebrant. The celebrant as well as the host had earlier urged her
(Nkiru) to endeavour to attend the party with most of her friends, and Ogechi
happened to be one of the lucky ones who accompanied her.
Ogechi, a so-called final year
student on one of the campuses in the state was clad in a tight and sparingly
transparent blue mini-skirt, sleeveless and sexy pink top that was partially
displaying her white bra and black high-heeled shoes. Her crazy dress was
obviously showcasing her large boobs as well as shocking hip and butt. She was chocolate,
plump and about five-foot tall. Whilst, Chima a light-skinned, about 5.4 feet tall
and slim dude was putting on black jean trousers, blue T-shirt, white trainers
and a white baseball cap.
“I must
confess,” Chima rode on. “You are really looking hot.” He applauded.
“Really..?”
“Sure.”
“Thank you.” She appreciated cheerfully. Stylishly straight out her left
hand to his head and changed the position of his cap so that its bill would
face his back rather than his front; this was to enable her see his supposed handsome
face elaborately.
At this time, Chima’s cucumber had aroused
that he almost ejaculated in his boxers that was already feeling the unavoidable
intense heat and vibration.
Ogechi being a naughty lady
observed the abrupt change of mood written all over him as she expected, and
then smiled.
“Why the smile?” He enquired, still dancing
enthusiastically.
“Nothing,” she replied. “Just
admiring your dance style.”
“Really?”
“Yea.”
In a few seconds, they dropped
the bottles of wine in their respective hands on the dance floor and within a
twinkle of an eye, they found themselves in one of the hotel rooms that was
made available for him (Chima) by the host. Before you could know it, both
parties whom were already on the bed became starkly in the nude.
Chima’s attempt to grab the packet of condom, which he kept in one of
the front pockets on his trousers that was already lying on the tiled floor,
was aborted by Ogechi who pleaded with him to tango with her without any
protective device stating that she enjoyed it when it was ‘skin to skin’.
Chima whose sensation was obviously getting
out of hand took heed of the plea and blindly headed for the long awaited
marathon race, which ushered him into a different world both therein and
thereafter.
Fifteen minutes later, they
became saturated. Chima who was lying helplessly in the bed appeared like one
who just finished ascending mountain Kilimanjaro.
So pathetic; she had just
deliberately infected him with Human Immunodefiency Virus (HIV). Funnily
enough, Ogechi was actually HIV positive. Since three months back she confirmed
she was living with the virus after several diagnoses conducted in various
medical laboratories, she had vowed to infect as many men as possible with the
deadly disease, and Chima happened to be her fifth victim.
The following day being Thursday
June 16, 2011 at 6:20 in the evening, Chima who was a HIV carrier, albeit
ignorantly, arrived his matrimonial home that was at the moment made up of only
him and his darling spouse, Nnenna who couldn’t wait for his arrival.
Ironically, Nnenna – a very
pretty looking and brilliant damsel at 24 who just graduated from the Federal
University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) – got married to Chima as a virgin.
Before she walked down the aisle with the unknown angel whom she ran into
barely few months back when she went to deposit money in the bank where he
worked, she vowed that she would never be defiled by any man out of wedlock;
and as God would have it, she passionately and firmly stuck to her faith until
after her wedding day unknowingly to her that the vigorous labour would end up
in vain.
Two months later, Nnenna took in; an awaited
moment that brought a totally different phase in their matrimony. Based on the
tradition or the routine attached to ante-natal period, in her fourth week of
pregnancy, she was diagnosed of all kinds of illnesses and infections with a view
to ascertaining her overall health status and capacity and unfortunately and
shockingly, she tested positive to HIV.
Afterwards, she wasn’t told of
the unimaginable discovery; rather, the doctor requested for her husband’s
presence so he could break the news to him. On the contrary, she thought the
invitation was to sensitize her husband on how he was meant to take care of
her.
When Chima arrived at the
hospital, he was enjoined by the doctor to check his HIV status and he complied,
though after series of interrogations and enquiries from him (Chima) which were
diplomatically attended to by the doctor. Consequently, it was learnt that he
was also living with the virus. All these were happening in his wife’s absence.
The doctor used the opportunity to disclose to him that his wife was as
well positive. He made him understand that that was what prompted the sudden
invitation.
Chima who was devastated and
dumbfounded over the incident needed not an interpreter to inform him that the
unforeseen and unthinkable medical results were as a result of his
uncontrollable randy nature, thus he felt like hanging himself. What pained his
person most was that he had deceived an innocent woman whom could be best described
as a god-sent.
Thereafter when he got home, he broke the
breaking news to his poor wife who fainted the moment she fully absorbed it. Consequently,
she suffered from miscarriage.
Notwithstanding, it would interest you to note
that currently the couple in question is living happily and healthily with the
infection. Chima has completely turned a new leaf. The marriage is at the
moment blessed with three kids – a male and two females – and none of the
children contracted the virus.
