It was not so surprising how Sarah died. Sarah was
my good friend back in primary school. We did everything together. We sometimes
got into trouble together all because we were best friends.
When
time came for us to go to secondary school, I wanted to attend a Christian
school but Sarah wanted to attend a school that was not into religion. We
parted ways but luckily for our friendship, we lived together in the same
neighborhood.
During the holidays, I noticed that Sarah
was becoming way ward. Instead of sitting down and reading novels with me as
usual, she would rather go hang out with her classmates who were influencing
her negatively. I just studied her and knew she was heading for her doom. Once,
I tried talking to her but all she said was “that was good life and the kind of
life I should also live.” I was shocked at her words but there was nothing I
could do. I even tried bringing her to Christ but she always gave excuses that
she was a Christian and would run off
like she was been chased by someone.
This
became her everyday lifestyle. I secretly prayed for her hoping that she would
someday realize her wrong doings and accept Christ before it’s too late. I held
this in my heart, I knew presently that I had lost my best friend but would by
God’s grace regain her back.
We
both entered senior school and Sarah did not change a bit. She would do all
sorts of things; have various boyfriends to the extent that in a term she had
dated all the boys in her class. She was always mocking the fact that my school
did not encourage boy-girl relationship, and so I never had one. I just laughed
and told her it is for our own good and that I would not condemn her own school
because it had its own rules and beliefs.
Later,
I heard that Sarah was pregnant. At what age I thought? Before I could
eventually get to her in order to prevent her from doing anything to hurt
herself, it was too late. I got to her house and was told by the security
officer that she was rushed to the hospital. I hurried to the hospital and was
told that she passed on. She had a terrible abortion and her womb had been
ruptured, and in a bid to correct the mistake, a operation was carried out in
which she lost her life.
In my
heart, I thought she had just reaped what she sowed.
