          Magnolia, Tim’s younger sister who too was a close friend, thought it was utterly stupid of Shaina to get pregnant. I understand, I also thought so. Here was a woman of the world who could hold a seminar on safe sex methods with her extensive knowledge of birth control pills, condom and the rhythm methods—we dismissed other methods as pure fallacies.

          “No, washing or urinating immediately after having sex doesn’t prevent getting pregnant.”

          “No, jumping immediately after sex or taking a tablet of cortal with a cola doesn’t prevent getting pregnant.”

          “No, you still get pregnant even if you are on top all the time or that all you do is dog style.”

          “No, withdrawal method is messy.”

          Shaina knows all this by heart. We all know this by heart. Yet, we end up on that cheap inn.

          “Well, condoms, the safest of the artificial contraceptives, is not hundred percent safe…” I said.

          “I believe it’s ninety-nine percent,” Tim informed us.

          “Still, one percent possibility.”

          “And she just have to be that one percent! Congratulations!” Magnolia said in sarcasm.

          “Well, she’s one lucky girl.”

          And anyone could be as lucky as Shaina. Anyone, but everyone, who have sex could be the lucky one percent. Congratulations!

          We really don’t know what happened why Shaina didn’t use any protections with either Jay-jay or Romeo. Perhaps, she doesn’t use any protection with Jay-jay for perhaps because they are together anyway. I have observed that condoms, using or not using, was seen as a sign of love. One don’t use condom if you are having sex with the one you love for it meant you trust each other that there is no other and that if they get pregnant, they can count on each other. Condoms are just to be used for casual sex encounters.

Hmmm… so Shaina love Romeo, and that she don’t consider what happened between them casual? Or that it happened too fast and Romeo had no pack stashed on his wallet? Oh by the way guys, don’t keep your condoms on your wallet specially if you keep your wallet on your trousers back pockets—the heat and being crushed between your bottoms and your seat damages it big time.

          So you see the problem, Shaina wasn’t sure who was the other party responsible of that thing growing on her womb. So, it had to go. I also thought it had to go. Didn’t I tell you it was pure evil?
