That morning the day was still dark approaching morning, silence and the early morning frog battled for supremacy until the blazing sirens of the school health center sounded as if it was parked at the front of my room breaking the total silence in the girls hostel for sometime I wondered if someone had been attack by asthma because of the cold weather just that my thought wouldn't align with what was really happening until I saw men of the health center with a fair face on the stretcher and members of the post graduate block came crying along with the stretcher I couldn't place my mind on whom the person was and asking questions from the girls who were crying didn't make sense to me.
One by one the other girls began to come out from their various rooms I could see the curiosity written all over their faces and the early morning almost turned into a question and answer segment in the hostel with the girls trying to satisfy their curiosity.
Who is she was the question?
The blazing sirens began and screams of their room-mate became louder as the girl was taken away by the ambulance to the health center.
Although our hostel had seven blocks it was like a community and news went far and fast but for an information that involves an ambulance it will be a little scared.
I really became curious about who was on the stretcher and what was happening I quickly made my findings and it was at block z room 20 I had a friend who stayed in that room. I lived in curiosity all day until I returned class and found out that the room-mate of block z room 20 was right in my room.
I didn't even wait for the gist already flying around in the hostel I asked what was happening to her roommate, and she replied.
"My roommate drank a full bottle of sniper insecticide attempting suicide and while we were all asleep we heard screams in our dreams only wake up and find an empty bottle of sniper insecticide."
She had a boyfriend who they both attended same primary and were best friends from secondary school-days and entered a romantic relationship with the boy after their secondary school-days they loved each other so much that they both did everything together and entered the same university as their relationship was very lovely until the evening while lovelyn met her boyfriend cheating with another girl and instead of apologizing the boyfriend called off the relationship between the both of them.
So much thought filled my heart I could only wonder what was going on in the mind of lovelyn that the only option was to settle with a bottle of sniper insecticide.
We even saw the day before we talked and laughed over some issues I never knew she had inner wounds that disturbed her until I heard the news this morning.
We all have inner wounds that we deal with from time to time, we keep these issues from others, keep a smiling face as if all is well, while the wounds continue to affect us we pretend that all is well. The beauty of life is that it comes in seasons and every season passes away no season stays forever.
Though sometimes we are deeply wounded by our loved ones with time the wounds will surely heal.
