Episode 7 (finale)
"But we have little problem and I don't know how well you absorb it..." The Doctor said.
"What more problem again after these problems?" Segun cried out.
"It's not really a problem if you know how to handle it..."
"Stop beating about the bush, go straight to the point" Segun cut in.
"She tested HIV positive" the Doctor said with a calm, but yet serious look.
"HIV... what?" Segun's eyes shone.
"She must have contacted it from an infected sex partner" The Doctor added.
"My God!! I'm finished!!!" Segun exclaimed.
"Mr. Segun I must say I'm really disappointed in you, you had not taken good charge of your home, I can't count the number of times your wife came here for one treatment or the other as a result of your bullies, now here is your only daughter whom you threw out to the dangers of the world as a result of your uncontrollable attitude in your home." Dr. Gbade lamented.
Mr. Segun sobbing and having his eyes filled with tears and regrets went out of the office and couldn't help but break the disheartening news to his wife where she was.
Mr. Segun failed in being able to console his wife who was already wailing and groaning in tears. Bola kept saying "I have destroyed my daughter's life, had I known I would have kept her back at home with me and have a proper watch over her, hmmm."
They sat at the reception for close to two hours weeping and groaning, they couldn't blame each other because they both knew they were at fault and Bimpe wasn't at all. A nurse came to them and told them Bimpe was awake already.
"We have to go and see her, she needs us most now." Segun said.
"She would be mad at us" Bola replied worryingly.
"We just have to go her, she's all we've got" Segun explained.
The door that led to the ward where Bimpe laid was opened gently by the nurse that led Bimpe's parent to her. On sighting the two, Bimpe hissed and turned her face the other way of the bed ignoring them. She knew the doctor would have told them the whole truth, "so why are they here? Probably to scold her for all her wrongs" she thought.
Bola walked down to her in haste, sat on the bed and held Adebimpe's hand begging her and pleading for forgiveness for the failure of both Segun and herself in nurturing her in good ways and ignoring her emotional needs.. She pleaded and wept so bitterly alongside her husband promising Bimpe that from that day henceforth they would take up their responsibilities as good parents should do regardless of what people say or think.
After much begging and pleading, Adebimpe accepted their pleas and also apologised in tears for bringing disgrace to them, she was full of regrets and tears. The family reunited and waited for days for Adebimpe to be discharged.
Segun and Bola were bent on making wrong right, they didn't inform Bimpe of the HIV test results as she was too young to bear the shock. They only told her that the baby wasn't aborted and so she would have to go through a lot of treatments because of the attempts to abort the baby.
Bimpe's parents had requested the doctor not to inform her still but should continue treating her of the HIV as they believed she would be cured of it since it wasn't AIDS. Then when she was of age, she would be told.
Adebimpe was showered with love and care by her parents. Few months later she was delivered of a baby girl and tests were conducted on both her and her baby and to everyone's surprise they were both HIV negative. She wept and thanked her parents for not leaving her.
Adebimpe in no time was fit and was enrolled back to a near by secondary school where she finished from, wrote her SSCE and passed excellently.
The END

ADEBIMPE episode 6
Adebimpe by O'nezer
Episode 6
"I'm only bothered about one thing" Bimpe said as she stared into the ceiling above, but before she could continue with her thoughts, the door knob turned allowing a view of a furious Segun and a crying Bola
"Why did come here? Not tonight" Bimpe's heart felt bitter.
For the first time in Bimpe's life, she watched her dad and mom dishing out advice to her "so they could be this concerned?" she wondered in disbelief.
When her parents left the room that night, she couldn't help but smile as she recalled each word from both parents. She ruminated on that till sleep kissed her eyes away.
Bimpe woke up the next day feeling tired and nauseous. She had been having that feeling for a week and she understood what was coming
"I'm really bothered about this thing and how to get rid of it on time before mummy finds out" she bit her lip.
This wasn't her first pregnancy. She had been pregnant twice before and had successfully had a D and C, but now she was under her parents which made it almost impossible to try out and worse still, to keep the baby.
"I need to buy some books to keep me company while I'm at home" Bimpe finally summon the courage to tell her dad two days after.
"Take this" Segun gave Bimpe some sum "buy your books and buy yourself any other thing you might need" Bimpe was really happy
"Thank you daddy" she exclaimed like a little baby.
Bimpe waited patiently for her mum to go out. She finally heaved a deep sigh when her mum finally said "goodbye"
"At last!" Bimpe jumped off the chair she was sitting. She set out to get rid of her third pregnancy of which she wasn't sure who was responsible.
"It could have been my Form Master or even our Agric Teacher or one of those boys at the club. I'm not even sure" she grinned as the taxi dropped her at the gate of her house.
The abortion seems successful, but she was bleeding "it's not your first time but you have to be nice with me this time around" Bimpe pleaded as she touched her hurting stomach.
"What is wrong with you Bimpe?" Segun came home earlier than usual.
"I'm having my monthly flow and it seem to be really disturbing this time around" Bimpe lied.
Segun quickly called Bola to leave the shop and come home "you are in a better position to help Bimpe. I don't even know what to do"
Bola came home a hour later. She saw how pale and weak Bimpe was "are you sure it's just menstrual cramps?" she said has she worked her hands through Bimpe's body.
"I think we need to take her to the hospital" Bola called out to Segun in the living room
"There's no need for that!" Bimpe quickly sat up in bed "I'll be fine in no time" she smiled. But the pain she was going through was written all over her
"You're in pains" both parents cried out.
Bimpe tried to stand, but she felt giddy and passed out. She was rushed to the hospital and Bola couldn't sit a minute. She was pacing through the hall way.
"Mr. Segun see me in my office please" the Doctor said. Bola rushed to hear the report too.
"He said only me" Segun pushed Bola as Bola insisted on going in with him.
"Your daughter had done some abortions before now and she just did one today which is complicated..."
"No it can't be" Segun cut in.
"But that's what I was made to understand when I examined her"
"My God!!! I can't believe this." Segun said almost in tears.
"The Doctor that did this must have been a really quack Doctor. We did an ultrasound on her and the baby is still intact. It seems he was pulling her womb while trying to get hold of it thinking it's the foetus" the Doctor explained to the now heavy hearted Segun.
"But we have a little problem and I don't know how you will be able to take it... "

ADEBIMPE episode 5
Adebimpe by O'nezer
Episode 5
The girls returned back to the hostel a bit later than their usual time, Bimpe indisposed state was behind that.
"Girl watin be this na? Are you still a baby? Benita said angrily as soon as they got to the room before been seen by anyone.
"Benny relax now, don't shout at this girl, remember she just got disvirgined, it's her first time and it could be distabilizing. You don forget your own time too?" JK replied Benita petting weeping Bimpe who couldn't still believe she had lost her virginity.
"Don't worry my dear, you will get used to it. Tell me didn't you enjoy it?" Shola who was making Bimpe's bed for her teased.
Benita switched off the light in their room and made to sleep after successfully making Bimpe sleep. The four being roommates was the work of Joke being the hostel rep.
Bimpe now really had a different view about life.
"I really want you to brazen up with this attitude of yours" Joke winked Bimpe during lunch.
The session was gradually moving and now Joke was preparing for her SSCE, but that didn't stop her from sneaking out at night. She was intelligent and she didn't see a need to study hard "only dummies read during exams. You prepare for battle not on the battlefield" advised the crew.
"You must become something better before I leave this school" Joke cupped Bimpe's cheek in her hand
"You can even take over from me since I'm leaving soon" Bimpe could feel her heartbeat in her mouth. She felt like shouting or even crying, but Joke's words held her bounds.
Soon she gave in to the guys in the club after the incidence with Soji. She felt like a train had crushed her at first, but she soon got over it and became more interested than Joke and her crew.
Bimpe still maintained her brilliancy, but outside the school she was growing into a chain smoker and a commercial sex lady.
"If this is what it means to grow up, I will grow up and no one will take chances on me like my dad does to my mom" Bimpe gave a wry smile as she went over the school fence, this time alone.
Bimpe now despised holidays. She wished she could find an excuse to stay back in school or somewhere around the club house, but she couldn't have her way. Every holiday beckons her home to the never ending drama between her parents and the lack of attention she gets from them.
Bola, Bimpe's mum noticed so much changes in Bimpe "you've really changed a lot my dear. What have they been feeding you?" Bola asked curiously.
"Nothing special. I'm growing up. That's all!" Bimpe retort almost exclaiming.
Bimpe found it hard to accompany her mum to the shop. She would rather sit back at home and step out to walk around town after a while. Her mum felt concerned about Bimpe's new life, but was just too busy and easily distracted to talk to her child.
Her dad on the other hand only came home at night. Eats and heads to bed
"What a dysfunctional family" Bimpe often shrugs.
Back in school and happening. The brilliant girl in class and a bad girl at night. Bimpe soon got some more girls to join her clique. Nike her old time friend knew about her lifestyle, but all efforts to make Bimpe change was futile "I hope you won't regret this" Nike warned.
"There's nothing to regret in a life that is pleasing to you" Bimpe smiled as she watched Nike walk away
"I was once innocent like you anyway, not like I was bad from scratch. But am I even bad?"
Half way through Bimpe's second term in SS2, the school Matron had noticed quite a number of girls sneaking in and out of the school at night. The Matron set out a plan and all the girls were caught. Bimpe wasn't exempted.
They were given a month suspension after thorough punishment in the school.
"I said it!" Bimpe's mum exclaimed. "I knew there was something strange about you the last time you came home" but Bimpe feigned dumb as her mother yelled and cried.
"When you're tired, you will keep quiet" Bimpe muttered and smirked.
The night Bimpe got home was another war front for both parents. Bola accused Segun of being irresponsible "but you are the woman and it is your responsibility" Segun retorted angrily.
All the while they were arguing, Bimpe had carried her bag into her room and shut the door on herself "when you two are done, I'll be asleep" she said as she jumped into her bed
"I'm only bothered about one thing"
What is that thing?

ADEBIMPE episode 4
Adebimpe by O'nezer
Episode 4
Walking down the narrow paths that led to the hostel after launch for her siesta, Bimpe thought within herself and wondered why JK was bent on making her life a mystery. She ruminates on the words of JK to her when she resumed school "I had requested the Hostel Mistress to ensure that you are allocated to my room and she didn't object to that knowing that you are my school daughter."
These words rang in Bimpe's head continually knowing the true reason behind JK's request. "Absolutely there's no going back for me"she muttered.
In no time Bimpe was in the room and to her surprise she met JK in the room she thought she had seen JK's mates in class having extra lessons in preparations for their mock exams. JK made her to know she came to pick something in the hostel and Bimpe became clear why JK was in the hostel.
JK was about to leave the room when she remembered she haven't told Bimpe about the welcome party Soji and his friends had planned for Bimpe to hold the next day at their favourite club house.
" Ehn ehn, Bimpe I forgot to tell you that Soji and his friends has organised a small welcome party for you to hold tomorrow night they told me to tell you as soon as you resume." JK said.
"You said what? Welcome party? For what?" Bimpe asked surprisingly.
"What do you mean for what? Why are you talking like a novice? Oo I see the long break you had after your Junior WEAC has made you forget your peeps." JK questioned.
"Not really, I didn't forget it's just that it's coming to soon."Bimpe replied.
"Soon ke? It's not oo, Soji has really missed you, he was just so disturbed all through the time you were away." Joke said as she moved closer to Bimpe. He even wanted to come to your house but I refused giving him your address cause I didn't want to get you in trouble she added."
"Ah!! My house? Thank God you didn't give him the address, it would have been too big trouble for me to handle." Bimpe replied.
"So you can see how much he missed you"
"Ok will see him tomorrow then" Bimpe said.
Joke was out of the room just after they were done with their discussion and Bimpe was left to think over the big task for tomorrow. She thought of how tomorrow's sneaking would go, she was kind of scared but in a second thought, she felt this could be a way she could get answers to her question about what it means to grow up. "Well since am not getting answers from people, I think experience will give me answers."She concluded and forced herself to sleep even if sleep was lost from her eyes already.
Joke had informed the other girls and they've made their usual deal with the gate man. How Joke and the team were allowed to go through the gate by the gate man was still not understood by Bimpe but she knew she would get to know someday.
The room was booming as the music was at every corner of the room, smokes from the cigarettes also covered the room and drinking wasn't in a bit. The girls upon entrance made no delay and got missen in the crowd. The place looked strange to Bimpe again as it has been a while she came there last, from a distance Soji sighted her and was in her front in few seconds. He was happy she came as he had told his friends that he would be welcoming his girl that night. Soji had told JK that he would make Bimpe his girl and he's gradually getting that done even if Bimpe has no idea about that.
After a few minutes of parting and dancing, Soji began to make irresistible advances to Bimpe, she tried putting him away but wasn't successful. Before JK came to call on Bimpe for them to leave, Bimpe and the bed Soji had put her on were already soaked in red liquid in the midst of pleasure and groaning...

ADEBIMPE episode 3
Adebimpe by O'nezer
Episode 3
"Just watch me and the other girls and do what we do" Joke whispered to Bimpe as she and three other girls including Bimpe tip toed out of the hostel.
"That was a good one" Joke said.
"But I'm scared this girl would shatter our plans o!" Benita who had been curious about taking Bimpe along lamented
"What if she foils our plan and expose us to the whole school" Benita continued.
"Let's be calm and positive about this. We were once new to it just like her" Joke encouraged the crew as they helped Bimpe up the school fence that had been broken down a bit by them.
"I don't feel comfortable with everything that happened last night" Bimpe complained almost in tears.
"Don't worry, you will soon get used to it" Joke said almost absentmindedly as she discussed the new guy she met in the club with them.
"So there will still be a next time?" Bimpe felt like screaming the house down.
Bimpe now became worried. She felt bad she didn't get the love she craved for in a school mother from Joke. She felt her life falling apart after the second night with guys making advances at her and blowing the smoke of cigarettes into her face
"You need to grow up" one of them had said smacking her back side.
"Is this how to grow up?" Bimpe lamented bitterly on her bed. She recalled Joke telling her no backing out and she felt bitter the more. Bimpe felt bad for secluding herself from her old friends. She missed Nike so badly "but I can't go back to her" Bimpe whispered silently.
The school Junior WAEC was soon over and for the first time in a long while, Bimpe felt elated to be at home "I think it's better watching the trouble from my dad than becoming a trouble myself" Bimpe smiled as she hugged her Mum.
Home was unusually calm and everything went peacefully for the first two weeks at home "I'm glad things are changing" Bimpe told Bola her Mum.
"My dear, not like things are changing, but your dad beat me to a pulp and I was in the Hospital unconscious for almost two weeks" Bola sighed.
"After that, I charged your father to Court and his parents were in support of it. A charge was given him that any day he lays his hands upon me again he would be arrested."
"Woow!!! That's better!" Bimpe exclaimed.
"Though we still fight, but no more beating" Bola gave a wry smile.
Life at home was relaxing for Bimpe. She would spend the day in her mother's shop and had some nights seeing the News with her father who was still somewhat haughty towards everyone.
"That's the worst you can do" Bimpe would smile sheepishly
"Keep frowning. It won't change anything" She always felt like laughing out loud whenever she said so.
Bimpe was now more free at home. Her mum noticed the change but felt she was growing. Bimpe on the other hand had tried to talk to her mum severally but she was either cooking or busy with some work.
Bimpe nursed this burden for so long "I only want to understand what it means to grow up" she would groan each time her mum turns her down
"And daddy is a Titan that no one can confront" she finally gave up on talking to her parents about it.
Bimpe resumed to SS 1. It was a swell time as she sat in class on the first lesson day. They were about 25 in class. She went for Art class while Sophia, her one time friend moved to science class.
Bimpe was always a bright student. Even with the issues she faced at home and the bully at schools she still maintained her brilliancy.
Everyone had suggested science for her but she was passionate about becoming a Lawyer "I must study Law come what may" she often said.

The school Junior WAEC was soon over and for the first time in a long while, Bimpe felt elated to be at home "I think it's better watching the trouble from my dad than becoming a trouble myself" Bimpe smiled as she hugged her Mum.
Home was unusually calm and everything went peacefully for the first two weeks at home "I'm glad things are changing" Bimpe told Bola her Mum.
"My dear, not like things are changing, but your dad beat me to a pulp and I was in the Hospital unconscious for almost two weeks" Bola sighed.
"After that, I charged your father to Court and his parents were in support of it. A charge was given him that any day he lays his hands upon me again he would be arrested."
"Woow!!! That's better!" Bimpe exclaimed.
"Though we still fight, but no more beating" Bola gave a wry smile.
Life at home was relaxing for Bimpe. She would spend the day in her mother's shop and had some nights seeing the News with her father who was still somewhat haughty towards everyone.
"That's the worst you can do" Bimpe would smile sheepishly
"Keep frowning. It won't change anything" She always felt like laughing out loud whenever she said so.
Bimpe was now more free at home. Her mum noticed the change but felt she was growing. Bimpe on the other hand had tried to talk to her mum severally but she was either cooking or busy with some work.
Bimpe nursed this burden for so long "I only want to understand what it means to grow up" she would groan each time her mum turns her down
"And daddy is a Titan that no one can confront" she finally gave up on talking to her parents about it.
Bimpe resumed to SS 1. It was a swell time as she sat in class on the first lesson day. They were about 25 in class. She went for Art class while Sophia, her one time friend moved to science class.
Bimpe was always a bright student. Even with the issues she faced at home and the bully at schools she still maintained her brilliancy.
Everyone had suggested science for her but she was passionate about becoming a Lawyer "I must study Law come what may" she often said.

ADEBIMPE episode 2
Adebimpe by O'nezer
Episode 2
By the beginning of the second term Adebimpe found a friend among her bullies who eventually felt it was absurd to treat Adebimpe the way they do "I know I've been one of them but I just want you to see it as my ignorance and let's be good friends if you so wish."
Adebimpe and Sophia then became good friends. Sophia was more plumpy than Adebimpe. She stood to defend Adebimpe at all times.
As they days roll by, the combination of Sophia and Adebimpe had been attracting a few crowd as the duo always walk together. Sophia was more like a fence of defense for Adebimpe.
All through the first session of school, it was a mixture of hard and rough moment for Adebimpe. It made her emotionally drained and on many occasions, she prefer to watch the fight at home than the bully in the hostel.
The session was soon over and finally Bimpe could now prepare for the next class which is Jss 2.
The holidays was a bitter ride as Adebimpe tearfully endured the drama at home. She prayed it would end someday but it seems the demon firing up her dad meant serious business.
"Is this how it has been even while I was away?" Bimpe asked her Mum.
"It never really ends even while you were away" her Mum smiled.
Bimpe stared at her Mum who now looks older than she used to be "what can calm daddy down?" but Bola her Mum was too confused to utter a word.
"I couldn't believe you were the one I saw when I came home few weeks ago. Mum, this stress is telling on you." Adebimpe complained.
With a faint smile on her mothers face, she replied "one day, the strife will be over" and the conversation ended there and they moved on.
All through the holiday, a day wouldn't pass by without Bimpe seeing how her dad treats her mum "I'm not sure I'll get married if this is how all men are" Adebimpe bite her lips bitterly in disappointment.
Holidays was soon over for Bimpe and it was time to go back to school. Bimpe sat by her bed thinking which is better between school and home "I don't want to go back to school and I can't stay in this house" she groaned softly.
Both home and school seems not to be an option for Bimpe because of the hardship in school and the drama at home.
Adebimpe is now Jss 2 and she felt a bit different because they now have juniors she can also bully a little.
Adebimpe and a few set of girls who are mates which includes Sophia, Nike and Jane soon formed a clique. They are four but Nike is from a Christian home and she always encouraged Bimpe that things will get better in their family.
The other three cared less about Bimpe's family. What was important to them was to explore their freedom away from home. This made Bimpe fall in between caring and nonchalant friends.
Days went by and Bimpe was in Jss3. She had a special attraction to Joke, who was in SS2 and the attraction was mutual. JK as Joke was fondly called by her mates was a lovely girl. She had all the prerequisite to be called a perfect, gentle student, but all the while it was all a lie as she possessed other secret qualities.
Being a good girl in the eyes of everyone, she had to master a perfect way to cover up for her deeds. Though her close friends knew about her acts cause they were in it together.
Bimpe had made Joke her school mother. She always goes to her for help and backup with the little bullies she still suffered.
Bimpe and Joke became really close. Joke would share her food with Bimpe and always give her whatever she demands for. It was a fun fare for Bimpe as she found a loving sister in Joke. But the table soon turned. Joke started telling Bimpe about her outings
"See, you have to be sharp and well coordinated not to be seen as a baby that they can bully anyhow" Joke counseled Bimpe.
"But how does sneaking out of school help me from being bullied?" Bimpe asked as she watched Joke and her friends pick out clothes into their back packs that evening.

ADEBIMPE Episode 1
Adebimpe
Episode 1
"Mummy, why are you crying?" Adebimpe who seems to be asleep startled her Mum.
Adebimpe had always watched her Mum cry every night. Little and naive, she pretend to be asleep as she wondered in her little mind why her Mum always cried each night.
Bola, Adebimpe's Mum had been married to Segun for 7years. Their marriage hasn't been a merry one as they always had one issue to fight on like a wrestling ring.
Bola had told the matter to Segun's parents but they only told her he had a hot temper from childhood
"I have warned Segun to have his temperament under check, but he wouldn't listen. Now see what he's doing with his matrimonial home" Segun's dad said
"You both have that in common just that you have yours in proper check, that makes the difference" Segun's Mum retorted as Bola watched the two like two babies arguing over a matter.
"Please help me talk to him. I don't know how much longer I can take this" Bola had said, but it's 4years after that and Bola kept trying to endure because of Adebimpe who she wanted to have a family, but Segun wasn't ready to change. He kept getting more aggressive by the day.
He would hit Bola over any little mishap. It was now more like she was the Church drum that gets beaten at every worship or deep words.
"I don't know why you are so dull" Segun will say and make her feel less like the woman he married several years ago.
Bola had decided not to have another child for Segun, hence her sincere care for Adebimpe. She had miscarried what should have been their second child after an episode of beating from Segun when the pregnancy was about six months old.
Bola was determined not to go back home with Segun after leaving the hospital bed, but Segun pleaded on his knees with tears. He pleaded like he was found guilty of a crime and feared the consequences.
"Please my love, I promise to turn a new leaf. I don't understand what comes on me when I do those things to you" Segun had pleaded and invited friends to plead on his behalf.
Bola agreed to go home with him after much persuasion and Segun kept to his words, but that was for a little time before the started smacking Bola again over every little issue.
Adebimpe always cried when she saw this. She would scream and hold on to her mum, but Segun cared less. He would beat the two till he was content.
Working as a branch manager for his company, Segun was educated enough to be more enlightened about his actions, but he seems to care less "women are not reasonable and they need the beating once in a while to put their sense in place" Segun would say.
Bola was tired, but scared of opting out of the marriage "I'm more concerned about my daughter as I don't have time for her and her father doesn't even give her attention" Bola lamented within.
Adebimpe was growing and she sat for her primary school leaving exams at the age of ten. Bola considered it a great opportunity to have Adebimpe enrolled in the hostel and Segun didn't dispute it.
Adebimpe felt relieved that she would be away from her parents rat and cat fight and she was overjoyed with the idea.
"Now I will have more time for my fashion shop and I could even pass the night there sometimes than in this hell of a house" Bola heaved a sigh of relief.
Adebimpe's joy soon died down when she realized home and hostel was in the same lane with bullies. She was petit and looked smaller than other students which left her at her at their mercy.
They made Adebimpe go through hard chores telling her she is the youngest among them and she ought to do the chores. She had reported to the Matron severally but it only kept getting worse.
