I was so shocked when I heard the news,that Saturday morning a nabour had come to give me the news of a fallen soul,she told me the woman got involved in a car accident while coming back from Lagos.


I immediately get dressed to confirm the situation, I was some feet away from my friend house when I saw many crowd outside.I was so scared that I stoped,soliloquizing that has my friend really died,but I still proceed hoping for something positive.


When I got there many were outside weeping and and expressing their grieve and concern then I moved up to one of them to ask what happened but all I could get is a shun and distance.


Then I looked around noticing that people are not moving close to them selves,this got me more bothered, mainly because of the out break of "corona virus"


Some minutes later the deceased husband came out weeping, then I overheard him telling his friends that's his wife died of the virus.


I couldn't control my self,as I was so frightened asking my self why I came , immediately i turned my back to go back home,when her husband saw me and offered me a seat which I declined telling him my baby is crying at home and needs attention.


I ran home home weeping because she had visited me day before yesterday,this really got me bothered and made me loose hope thinking am already a victim,but my husband keeps telling to believe and have faith as he stand by me through thick and thin.


He was not even bothered about the fact that I may truly be infected,this made me feel guilty remembering how I have been distancing my self from him since the the outbreak of the virus, this made me realise that love should be for better for worse.


A week later I started feeling some how feverish and high temperature, in fact I already gave up on my self when my husband suggested the idea of going for a check up.Feeling so scared though, I agreed and we head to the hospital.


The doctor then attend to us 30 minute's later and we were asked to wait for the result, fear was running all through my body but my husband was there as my support. The result is out said a female nurse from outside the isolation in which we were put.


When we got to the doctors office,the doctor said am sorry to inform you that you are suffering from ...... When I fainted,I was then rushed to a hospital room for treatment,immediately I woke up my husband hugged me and said you passed out for an hour,immediately I remembered what the doctor said I pushed my husband away from myself trying not to get him infected.


Then he said to me,take the result and check for your self dear,you are only suffering from malaria not "corona virus" with surprise I quickly check and I hugged my husband very tight, thank God I thought I was gonna die.


My dear,trust me you won't as far as I'm alive,then he noticed how tight I hugged him and asked no more social gathering? then I laughed hugging him more tight and said yes, its now " for better for worse".
