Mom, I .... An.....I was raped.

What? When? Why did you tell me this.

I was scared, mom.

Have I ever not listen to what you have to say to me before?

No mom.

What if your dad comes to know of it? What are you going to tell him?

Please don't tell dad, mom.

Does Antonio know about this?

Yes... No mom.

What are you going to do if Antonio finds out?

I don't know, mom.

They finally arrived home after their conversation Samantha rushed upstairs to see her brother

What happened, Sam?

I'm three months pregnant, Seb.

What was mom's reaction to it?

She was disappointed but she said she will know what to do.

I'm sure you didn't tell mom how you really got pregnant, right?

Yes, I told her I was raped.

What? You were what...? Did you really cover up for that bastard?

Seb, Please don't change my mood. Don't ever call him bastard.

Oh really.... I have to tell mom the truth.

Seb, please don't tell mom.

Are you still going to cover up for him?

I will tell mom later on but not now

You can do whatever you want and don't include me in this.

Sebastian walked out immediately after their conversation

Hi Sam how are you doing?

I'm good dear. Mom found out.

About?

About the pregnancy

And what did you tell her?

I told her something else and of course I didn't mention you.

(sighs) Okay that's good.

Alright bye.

They had their examination results after some weeks.

They all met to discuss about their schools.

I guess we will be going to school anytime from now.

Sure, very soon.

So which school will you be going to>

Harvard. What about you?

Same. Tarrinah, what about you?

Baston.

You like rushing dear.

I guess they have started.

Yeah (they all laughed at Julia's statement)

Ishmael, you have to answer us honestly. Do you like Tarrinah?

Never, I don't.

Do you someone likes you.

Excuse me.

As they were talking, Carlos and Zyona joined

Hi

My sweetheart, how are you doing? (He turned to ask Samantha)

I'm coping dear. Where are you two from?

Are you jealous? She went to visit her boyfriend and I met her as I was coming.

Why will I be jealous?

Oh okay this is awkward. We were talking about our schools.

Are you back for good?

Yes. I will be staying here.

So which school?

Harvard

Oh okay. What about you, Zyona?

Baston.

Harvard

Harvard as well.

They all turned to look at Ishmael.

What is it?

You are the only one left.

Sure. Baston.

Oh wow (They all laughed)

They all had a lot of fun since they were going to be in different schools. Samantha's health had changes and her dad noticed it.

Sam, what is it?

Dad, there's nothing wrong.

Alright if you say so.

He went to his room to ask his wife.

Darling, have you spoken to Sam recently?

No. What is wrong?

I noticed some changes in her.

She wanted to study out of the country.

Can't she complete her studies here?

She has to.

I will think about it.

Ms. Karina went to Samantha's room and found her on the ground. Samantha whispered

Mom.....

After she said those words her eyes closed. Her mum went over and shouted out her name but she didn't respond. Her breathe has eventually stopped. Her mum screamed......
