Ajoke you need to be careful of your daughter, she has know so many things at this young age of hers only God knows how many men she had slept with, she is telling me to marry her as a second wife, like mother and daughter?”
on my mom hearing this, her body couldn’t calm again and she shouted my name, I answered and came to the sitting room saw uncle Frank and I smirked. My mom told me to repeat everything I had told her and I boldly did, my uncle started crying and shouting that I am evil and never liked him as my step father and immediately started accusing me on seducing him, my mouth were in agape from the accusation and was telling my mom that they are lies, instead my mom believed Uncle Frank against my own words and she pounced on me to beat me mercilessly and even made me go to bed hungry, well I have accepted my fate, then cried unto my father for help Then slept off but then, the biggest thing happened, at midnight Uncle Frank came to my room and then brought knife, I fizzled and was scared and he told me that if I did not allow him sleep with me now, he will kill me I screamed so my mom could come and he laughed, he said if I shout from now till tomorrow my mom will never hear, he had drugged her. I started struggling but at a point his strength was bigger than mine and he raped me. I felt totally destroyed, my uncle did that to me.
He smiled with satisfaction and as he almost made his way to leave, I used to knife to stab him at the elbow. He was gushing in blood and quickly ran out of my room, I am scared of what could happen next I thought he might die so immediately I packed my clothes inside bags and quickly left the house, thank God I have #2000 as savings. At 2:30am, I left our house and was running away from our vicinity, if he died I will be arrested so I had to flee from our house ,going to where I don’t know, I don’t have any destination but I heard there are many people in the city. Then I thought of Ibadan, I have never been there. I stayed inside a bush very far from our house, then at 6:00am I was already at the park going to Ibadan.
shortly the bus was filled up and we started our journey, got to Ibadan safely and now another trouble, no where to stay or live ! I had cried my pains out, no food to eat, I was stranded. Well I just have to sleep on one part of the street and by tomorrow I will find what to do. but when it was at evening I couldn’t endure the hunger anymore and resorted to begging. This is the only thing I can do at this point to survive overnight, just as I was about begging for bread and a drink at a shop, there this man saw me and was just looking at me. I don’t know what is going through his mind but I quite felt embarrassed on what I am doing and with the way he was staring, I felt mocked…
