CNF#132..... Unsure Rumor.
I was sitting on the balcony of our house, when I heard a conversation between two friends.
Helen and Amanda are my neighbours. They stay in the same apartment because they are students of the same university. They came back from school one afternoon and began discussing what happened in school that day.
“Did you hear what happened to Kate?” Amanda said.
“What happened?” Helen replied.
“I heard she is having an affair with Mr. Fred.”
“Which Mr. Fred? Helen asked?
“Mr. Fred now, the Managerial Economics lecturer” Amanda replied.
“So what is the problem?” Helen asked.
“I heard he is married with three kids.” Amanda said.
“That is quite bad. Having an affair with a married man is not good. I don't advise anyone to do that.” Helen added.
As I continued listening to Helen and Amanda's conversation, I found myself intrigued by the rumors about Kate and Mr. Fred. I wondered what could have led to the situation and how it might affect those involved.
Their conversation seemed to be a mix of concern and curiosity. I was somehow worried for Kate because if the wife of the lecturer finds out that she is having an affair with her husband, she might be disgraced and her reputation will be soiled.
I was curious to know more about Kate and how to help her out of the situation. So I decided to go and meet them and request for more information about Kate.
I met the girls hosting more and Amanda was about just starting to share how she got wind of Kate and Mr Fred's affair.
It happened that Kate was seeking advice from her friend on how to deal with the situation on ground.
“Favour, I have feelings for Mr. Fred, and I don't know what to do,” Kate said.
“What kind of feelings?” Favour asked.
“I think I'm in love with Mr. Fred”. Kate replied.
“You know he is your lecturer and he’s married with kids, right? Have you thought about the potential consequences of having something with him?”
Kate nodded, feeling a sense of uncertainty. “I know it's complicated, but I feel like there's something real between us. I just don't know what to do about it.”
As they continued, Favour advised her friend that it would be better for her to kill whatever feelings she has for Mr. Fred, so it would not affect her academic and her personal life.
That was what Kate was telling her friend when I walked in on them" Amanda said.
“ Hey, that's not fair. You were not sure whether Kate is having an affair with Mr. Fred and you are already spreading rumours” I said to Amanda.
“I misunderstood their conversation, and I thought she was having an affair with her lecturer”. Amanda replied to me In her defence.
Please next time verify your information before you let the cat out of the bag" I warned.
It is not good to say what you are not sure of because the information being shared could destroy someone's image and reputation.
You that spread the information can as well get into trouble and there are consequences for spreading false information. Next time be very clear and factual" I advised them kindly this time.

Oftentimes ear dropping at other people's private conversations can really result to big disaster. Because one do not understand all the facts, he or she might make serious mistake, thereby sharing wrong information about the misinformation.

If what is heard is not certain,then it should not be broadcasted or talked about.
Amanda didn't realize the gravity of her offense. Fortunately, you were there to put her right.
That is how some people spoilt others with what they don't really know. Thank you for reading.
