Love you all

I started posting this story some years back but I lost access to my previous account and it was getting stressful retrieving it so I decided to share this story with my new account.
Read, comment and criticize.

EPISODE 1
THE SKY IS BLUE, the weather looks so bright for events like weddings, burial, birthdays to take place. Considering the season of the year, its unexpected for rain to fall hence social activities can easily take place.
But for Bola, she is oblivious of her present environment talkless of taking note of what the weather looks like. No wonder a Yoruba adage said "someone that hasn't faced difficulty shouldn't call himself a man".
The events of one year ago was playing itself back in bola's mind making her loose touch with the present.
" Bola, why are you so quiet this afternoon, I have noticed that you've been very quiet since you got here, hope no problem" asked bayo.
Sighing heavily, "well, I don't think I need to start parabulating, let me hit the nail on its head; I AM PREGNANT FOR YOU BAYO!".
After a few seconds of silence which looks like eternity, Bayo finally speaks " You are pregnant huh",
Bola looking amused replys " Didn't you hear me right or what?, of course I am". "You don"t expect to bring such a shocking news to me and not get me surprised, do u? what are we going to do now?",
"what do you want us to do?" replied bola.
Clears throat, " well, considering the fact that we are just freshers in school, I mean we've spent barely six months in the university and you are telling me this!, you know we are not responsible enough to become parents besides your family don"t really approve of me, remember they've always detested me ever since we were in secondary school. and..."
Cutting him short
" bayo, when I wanted to tell you the news, I went straight to the point, its not like am not distressed here too, its just that I want you to be factual so that I will know what next to do from here". Responded Bola
"okay, I will come and visit your parents this weekend to let them know am responsible for the pregnancy, Do they know yet?" Said Bayo
"WHAT!!! bayo are you crazy? my parents? do you want to kill me? that's not acceptable please think of something else!"
"If you are thinking of aborting that baby count me out, Its a thing of shame that we made the mistake of having sex at first, now you want us to compound our sin by including murder right?" what you want to hear that I will say; we are keeping the baby.
Bola who was initially shocked at the prospect of visiting her parents started crying.
"Sweetheart am so sorry, I never meant to shout at you that way, am really so sorry, but you know that the only dignifying thing to do right now is to both accept our mistake and brace up for the arrival of the baby". He consoled her.
Bola letting out a long hiss while sobbing replied
"Easier said than done, when you will not be the one to face the cruel treatment from the society, when you will not be the one with the bulging stomach after some months, when you don't know how strict my parents can be. You are so selfish, thinking about yourself alone" and with these, she stormed out.
Soliloquizing "Women can be very funny, Isn't she thinking of the risk involved with abortion? am I not the one that should be acting weird? after all I have my reputation to protect too, as far as I am concerned, there will be no abortion, bad enough that we have done something aborminable in the sight of the LORD, now she wants us to worsen it by committing murder"
BOLA couldn't sleep, she kept tossing right and left on her bed hoping silently that all that is happening to her is a dream "oh my GOD what have I done to myself"she kept muttering, she couldn't stop the flow of tears that was streaming down her face. She was in this state till she got exausted and was swayed by the tempting hands of sleep.
