It was 9pm on a cool Friday night. Tony was driving back home whilst singing to Kiss Daniel's 'Mama', playing on his car stereo. He was in high spirits, he had just been awarded a contract of roughly $28,000. This was his major breakthrough since becoming a contractor five years ago. He was driving along Aba road, heading towards G.R.A, Port Harcourt. He suddenly decided to go to a nightclub and have some fun.
He drove straight to JCee's Night Club, one of the hottest nightclubs in G.R.A. Little did he know that he was heading towards his doom!
Quickly, he got down from his car and walked excitedly into the nightclub. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. Male and female bodies were clinging to each other, as they danced to the soft tunes playing on the background.
As soon as Toby entered and sat down, a light skinned 'Hottie' approached him. She wore a red gown which barely covered her thighs and cleavages. She was tall and slender. Her round lips were covered with red lipstick.
"Hello handsome, can I join you?" She asked with a seductive voice.
"Sure", he replied, as he stared at her.
She sat down very close to him and he could feel the warmth of her body.
"Can we have some drinks, please?" She asked with a smile, obviously enjoying the way Toby caressed her body with his gaze.
He was clearly mesmerized by her beauty.
He nodded in reply and signaled to the waiter, who came to the table to take their order.
They had some drinks and headed to the dance floor, where they danced to the music playing on the background. After some hours of dancing and caressing, 'Hottie' suggested they take a room at the hotel beside the club. Toby readily agreed, as he was already 'high'.
They hurried to the hotel, booked a room and spent the night having fun till they fell asleep.
Next Morning...
Toby woke up with a slight headache. He sat up on the hotel bed, as he tried to remember how he got there. He suddenly remembered his encounter with 'Hottie'. Turning quickly to check on her, he saw an empty bed.
She was gone. She left without even charging him for her services!
"What a girl!" he thought. He couldn't even recall her name. "Who could she be?", he wondered as he got up to put on his clothes.
It was 5am in the morning when he left the hotel.
Three years later...
Toby's mother sat beside his bed in the intensive unit of St. Martins hospital G.R.A, Port Harcourt. Her only son was dying right before her eyes. He had full blown AIDS. That one night encounter with 'Hottie' had sent him to an early grave.
'Hottie' was an AIDS patient and she had vowed to infect every male she came across, with AIDS!
Unfortunately, Toby was one of her many victims.
He never knew his status until lately, when he started falling ill frequently and loosing weight drastically. His doctor advised him to run a test and it was discovered that he had full blown AIDS. It was too late!
He had tried to locate 'Hottie' but no one knew her whereabouts.
He had become like a skeleton, with his skin pale- looking and covered with bruises. His hair had all fallen off except for a few. He was a scary sight to behold.
"Toby, I warned you", cried his mother, "I told you to get married and stay away from prostitutes, but you wouldn't listen. Look at you now". She wailed. The pain of loosing her only son to AIDS was unbearable!
"I'm sorry, Mama", Toby replied in a weak tone, coughing uncontrollably, as blood tickled down his mouth.
His mother cleaned the blood with an handkerchief, and patted his chest to calm him down. Even in his state, she still loved him.
The love of a mother is unconditional.
Shortly, Toby's sisters came into the room with a pastor to pray for Toby. At least, his soul could be in perfect peace even if his body couldn't.The pastor prayed and Toby muttered 'Amen'.
After the pastor had left, Toby's mother and sisters continued in silent tears as they watched Toby gradually slip away to the cold hands of DEATH!
It was about 11pm when Toby died. He died on a Friday Night, just like the night he spent with 'Hottie'!
Toby's mother and sisters wept uncontrollably, as his corpse was taken to the mortuary.
Thus, Toby, a promising young man, died without an offspring, after being infected with AIDS by the girl he met at the club, three years ago!
Dear Steemians, AIDS is real, please protect yourselves from it.
