Shades of Suicide
Abel and Amina won the couple of the year on campus. They were conflicting in many areas yet they had a very beautiful relationship.
Abel was introverted while Amina was extroverted. Amina was gregarious; a party mover, while Abel had just two friends, his third friend was his books.
Abel was Christian while Amina was Muslim. Abel was from the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria while Amina was from the Hausa tribe. They were a total mismatch.
However, they grew up together in one of the rural areas of Ibadan city. Their affection sprung from when they were very little. Their parents were only semiliterates. It was fun for Amina to trouble Abel when they were younger.
Amina's parents were of the middle-class but they were still richer than Abel's. No one expected the two to become lovers but when they became lovers, their parents were not against it.
Chukwu was one of the students in Abel's department at the university. The two were the top students in their department. They were always at loggerheads. Though Abel had no issues with Chukwu, Chukwu disliked him and he did showed it.
Kabir was one of the students in Amina's department. He had always admired her despite knowing her relationship with Abel. He hated seeing her all over Abel. He wondered what she liked about Abel. To Kabir, he was a better suitor for Amina; they were both Muslims and Hausas.
The death of one of Abel's two friends affected him a great deal. His friend had been killed in a shootout between EFCC officials and some cyber criminals in his neighborhood.
Abel had been long depressed before Amina knew. He used to keep to himself a lot. It also took her days before knowing what exactly he was going through. She had thought it was all about his late friend.
Abel was going to resit a course. He was going to pay another school fee to resit just that course. One of Abel's lecturers had required an email submission of their continuous assessment but Abel's submission remained in his drafts. He tried submitting but it never went and he was unaware. It was past the deadline before he noticed. The lecturer turned a deaf ear to his pleas and Abel decided not to sit for the exam too.
Amina did all she could to make Abel smile. She also made Abel's elder sister, Joanna, speak to him. Amina also promised to pay his tuition fee for the course he would be resitting. She knew how seriously Abel had maintained his first class. Abel did became cheerful again....
