Episode 2
I had had really bad days on earth but todayâŠ
Really really âbadderâ!
I limped out of the room where my blood had just been shed in pain and agony.
I wasnât crying but tears flowed!
I didnât have catarrh prior to this forceful intercourse but now, mucus flowed unstopped from my nostrils!
I was not so surprised that I was maltreated but I was flabbergasted that it could come from dadâŠand in that terrible manner.
I turned to look back at the door and he was there smacking his lips in an âI want moreâ manner.
He looked like those hungry blood-thirsty vampires and ware wolves.
My heart yowled
I heard mumâs laughter and I looked towards the bathroom
She had soapy bubbles on her hands as she looked towards me.
She was laughing uncontrollably
âHe has gone to deal with your evil spirit, right?â she laughed on
Evil spirit?
ReallyâŠwas that the only thing she could see?
âHe even broke your legsâ she laughed even harder
Couldnât she see far beyond that?
What was she whining about?
What was so funny?
Couldnât she see that I was walking with such great difficulty?
Couldnât she see blood on my cloth?
Couldnât she hear noise from the room while the deed was been done?
Couldnât she see?
Couldnât she see that her âdeaconâ husband had gone into a minor?
Was she that blindly insensitive?
Huh!
âI told you that my husband could be more dangerous than I. All his niceness was just a camouflage. He even beats me when I mess up. So who are you!â she laughed loudly again
I heard her childrenâs giggles too.
I turned to continue my seemingly unending journey to my room, feeling the tingling pains in between my legs.
As I managed to get inside the room that I shared with Sissy, I locked the door with finality.
I flung myself to the bed and wept frenziedly
What a nightmare!
âI love this. I love that I am the first to rip you open. I am glad that I can touch a virginâs spilt blood. I am gladâ he had said like a dramatic fool with such glee!
He went on his knees with his fists thrown in the air like a victorious gladiator in a ring!
I saw it like a 6D cameraâŠ
I screamed as if my eyes were being plucked out.
The memories of the five minutes t—-t haunted meâŠ
âI love youâŠI love youâŠI loved you since I saw you as a babyâŠI nurtured this thought since then⊠itâs a dream come trueâ he said as he destroyed my life, looking deeply into my teary eyes
Love?
So this is love?
This is what it means when people say âmake loveâ
Love my foot!
Iâd rather hate than âLoveâ this way!
âDonât cry. Arenât you loving it?â he said again as he laughed
The more he said that, the more I hated him
The more I wished to stab him dead on the spot, exposing his dirty act to the whole world.
âJesus, this is f—–g great!â he exclaimed with great ecstasy as he brushed his sweaty smelly nose against my cheek
So Jesus is even aware of all these?
Their Jesus could allow this to happen to an innocent girl like meâŠ
He could mention His name in this dirty act and he didnât act or do anything?
I thought they said He was powerful
Why did He create sex?
Why couldnât He stop this beast?
Why couldnât He send fire and brimstone from heaven?
Couldnât He?
Why?
âThere is no Jesus!âŠif peradventure I am wrong, then He is not powerful! He isnât a saviorâ those words poured out of my mouth accompanied by my tears
Wouldnât He strike me down?
Wouldnât He slap me for blasphemy?
I waited as I listened quietly, tears still streaming down
I heard nothing
I saw nothing!
âMaybe there isnât any Jesus or God or whatever anywaysâ I concluded as I fell to the ground
It hurts!
It pains!
The pain in my tummy, down my legs made my thin legs to shiver uncontrollably
I had never felt that way before
As I felt the cold shiver down my spine and I shook vigorously, it felt as if my heart wanted to jump out of its cage.
It was that bad!
There was a knock at the door.
âOpen this doorâ Mum called from outside
I looked towards the door and it looked so far.
How many minutes would it take for me to get to the door?
That would be agesâŠ
âMy children are late for school. Open this doorâ She b@nged louder
Tears streamed down my face again
I wish I could garner strength from somewhere but I couldnât.
I looked towards the wardrobe and there was Sissyâs uniform
I wished I could draw it out magically so that she could have it but noâŠI couldnât!
I was so weak that I couldnât move a finger.
The coldness of the bare floor gave me such comfortability that I had to just concur to its embrace and acceptance.
âAre you crazy Mercy? Better donât let me utter what is in my mouth because if I do, the ground would be higher than youâ she shouted I didnât move
I knew it was very dangerous
I knew that I had aroused such anger that if she caught me, the ground would have me in, buried lifelessly but I couldnât move.
I could just cryâŠ
âŠAnd I did it well!
âBobo, get me the electric kettle with the water in it. I will cook someone to death today.â She said angrily and she meant it!
She doesnât make empty threat
But I didnât stand up.
It was soothing as it touched my tummy directly
What was that?
It was like a hot pack against my hurting tummy
I tried lifting my hand and I cringed as I touched itâŠ.
Hot water!
She sent hot water streaming down from under the door.
Chai!
I tried to move away as I saw more steaming streams coming towards me.
âMummy pleaseâ I screamed as I moved my sore body away from the door side
âOpen this door, you fool!â she screamed the more
I shook my head as I could feel burns all over my body.
My tears continued on their trails
âDear, wouldnât you come and talk to this fish for me? Sissyâs uniform is inside the room and she doesnât want to open the doorâ she screamed
âKnock harderâ I heard his voice faintly from afar
âIts 8 oâclock already Mr. ManâŠthe school bus is already around. Canât you hear the honking? Come and break this door down for me pleaseâ she cried out again.
âIâm in the bathroomâ he replied
âOh God! What a mess! Mercy, just know that you are dead today. You are really dead todayâ she said in a shaky voice that was determined to do anything
âGet me more hot waterâ I could hear her voice once more but I drifted off into sleep, pillowing my head with my hands as more hot streams splashed into my sore tummy and legs
I felt it really bad
But I didnât care âŠ
âŠnot anymore!
âââââ
I stretched as I wiped the drool off my mouth
Where was I?
Has it all been a dream?
A bad, scary dream?
The pain from my tummy down my lower rib jabbed me up.
I remembered so clearly what had happened
And it dawned on me that I was in a great huge mess because of what I had done.
I jumped to my feet and though I could still feel the pain, it had reduced
For how many minutes had I slept?
Chai!
Soup don cook for me!
My heart started beating fast as I walked to the door
âMum?â I called out
I had no response
I peeped through the key hole and it was dark.
She must have left
I needed to brace up courage and bath
I staggered to the adjoining bathroom and as the water from the shower ran through my hair into other parts of me, I wished it could wash me away too
The entire me!
Minutes later, I mopped my body and wore my school uniform.
As I was about pulling my hair into a ponytail and wear my sandals, there was a soft knock at the door
They hadnât left?
Oh my God!
âMercyâ it was a cool voice
Whose voice was that?
I walked to the door and turned the key twice
I opened the door
Splash!
Hot water came travelling from the bowl mum held in her hands.
Just like in cartoon series, I quickly bowed and turned my side towards her in a movie- like slow motion.
The look on her face was murderous
As the hot liquid washed the outer layer of my right hand, my side and my leg away, I fell to the ground with a loud thud, banging my head on the bed
I screamed as my head seemed to be off my body.
Her revengeful laughter rang on in my ears like a killer bell before I started drifting away
Iâm gonna die Iâm gonna die
I repeated silently as my spirit walked away gently and gradually from my body.
I heard the many loud bangs at the door
âMama Mercy!â people called out urgently, banging the door
âMercy!â I heard my friend who was our neighborâs maid, Alice call out
I smiled ruefully
Alice came too late
Adieu Mon Amie!
