I WENT FOR HER, BUT I GOT CAUGHT.... part 2

Hope you did enjoyed the first part of the story? Well here is the second part. Enjoy it.

Let me take you earlier before now. My parents, who were both teachers, had thought my sibling and I, that “as students, we should work hard and avoid any form of malpractice. Malpractice in any form was wrong and you should never be involved in it”. This was the conscientiousness my siblings and I had.

Now, back to the examination day, which was integrated science we were writing. I had finish answering all my questions and was about to stand up from my seat to go and summit, when I heard my name being called. I took a pause, and turned to see who was calling me, behold it was Elizabeth. My plans that day was to “ask her out” after the examination, which was the last paper for the term. She asked me to define what an atom was. Now, I was fixed in a dilemma, to stand on my grounds, holding on and maintaining my integrity, and loss my chances with her or answer her and get a better chance of her accepting my proposal.

I looked at her face beautiful and dreadful to me and at this point, thoughts of the teachings and training I had received from my parent began running through my mind. My heart began beating faster than its usual rate, my body began having goose bumps. It was as if my body system were failing me. I never wanted talking at this point, and then I remaindered a key point manual I was having in my pocket, which I used for study before the examination.

I thought of the disappointment my parent would have in me if I involve in examination malpractice and the betrayal of trust in me. I just betrayed my conscience and brought out the key point manual. I quickly flipped through the pages and got the page where the definition was. Because it was my first time of engaging in such an unacceptable act, with no fore knowledge of it , I openly held the manual and as I was about to forward it to her, I heard the supervisor’s voice calling at me, “Yeh, get up” he said.
I stood up looking confused and frustrated. I felt as if my whole world has being cumbered. There and then I regretted ever coming to school that day with the manual and in my heart repented of my wrong doing as tears began running out of my eyes. So many thought were running through my mind as I shamefully stood. The whole staff and student in the hall were disappointed by my actions.
I was asked to write a statement, which I truthfully and honestly wrote and signed it. I didn’t know the implication of the statement though. I was then asked to go away, while the lady I did what I did for was still in the hall writing her examination peacefully I supposed.

It has being fifteen years after this event, and married and have two daughters. I got married to Elizabeth Are, the lady in did what I did years ago for. We meet at a Christian youth advocacy program in Lagos, and from there we built a relationship. But I still live with bitterness and pains I had that very day. I still wish I had not done what I did, I look at my wife at time and wish he had only met in the Christian youth advocacy program. Though I did repent immediately after I was caught, I wished I never did what I did.

To my readers, you must never at any point go contrary to the ideal thing. Never let some pleasures or gratification of today hurt you beautiful tomorrow. Seek to stand for the right thing, do the right thing, and surly you will receive the right thing. SAY NO TO EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE.
