Episode 28

The sight of my mum standing there with the gloves in her hands terrified me. Cold shivers down my spine.

This scenario was familiar, i knew what she was up to, she had done it before.
But this time, her result will be different, i had lost my virginity a few hours ago.

I could not imagine what will happen to me if she discovered the truth.

“lie down” she ordered in a stern voice
“mummy please don’t do this, i beg you” i pleaded, kneeling down and sobbing uncontrollably.
“shut up, since you cannot explain why you came home late, i ll find out for myself” she said, moving towards me.
“mummy i didn’t do anything, please don’t do this to me again”
“I forgot to give you money for feeding along with transport, so i felt you would use your transport money for food. i stoped by at your school to give you some money on my way back from work. I was told that you and your friends left after the English lesson. Where did you go?”
The entire story shocked me very much. My mum knows definitely that i was not in school.
I couldnt tell her where i went either, that would spell the end of lectures for me.
I had to say something, anything to get out of this mess. It was moments like this i wished i had Ruth here.

” i went home with Ruth”, i blotted out, without thinking it through.
“havent i warned you never to go close to that prostitute?”
“she is the only friend i have” i said, increasing my tears and hoping it would soften my mum’s heart. But that was not to be”
“friend indeed, how am I sure you haven’t been sleeping with men just like her”?
“mummy i swear i haven’t”
“in that case lie down let’s see”, as she tried to pull me up from my knees unto the bed.
My excuses and lies were futile, my mum was bent on doing her inspection.

I knew exactly how bad this could get, the embarrassment would be colossal. I was determined not to allow it happen.

I made up my mind to stand up to my mother just like Ehis had adviced.

I broke away from her grip, and moved away from the bedside towards my wall mirror.
“My friend lie down on that bed before i lose my temper”, she yelled angrily.

” I’m not lying down, leave me alone” i yelled at her with the same ferocity.

The expression on her face changed, the anger was replaced with surprise and disbelief. This was the first time i had yelled at her.
“so Ella, it has come to this?” She asked, walking slowly towards me
I began to retreat, as she approached, I knew this was not going to end well for a certainty, but knowing about the state of my virginity would hold far more dire consequences.

I had my back to the wall already, there was no further room to retreat. My mum closed in on me and aimed a slap directly at my face.

I caught her hand mid way in the air, and held on to it.
“so you want to beat me too?” She asked, and began to scream.
“Ella must beat me today”

She broke free from my grip, and held on to my tightly to my shirt, ripping it apart with all her energy.

She gripped my singlet as well, and began to tear at it. I did not have a bra on, if i allowed her to tear my singlet, i ll be Unclad.

I grabbed her hand firmly, preventing her from tearing my singlet. We began to struggle, as we pulled in opposite directions.

She freed one of her hands, and grabbed my skirt. It wasn’t firmly on my hips, neither was the material of good quality. The slightest pull would rip it apart.

I wasn’t putting on any p@anties either, and i thought there would still be stains of dried blood on my tights.

I just couldn’t let her strip me Unclad. I leaned foward a little, resting my whole weight and pushed her slightly.

My mum went to the ground as if she had been knocked down by a bulldozer.

She began to scream on top of her voice, “Ella is fighting me o, My own daughter is beating me”
Her screams must have alerted everyone in the house, as i heard doors flying open inside the house.

The first to arrive at my door was Ighalo. He b@nged on the door, trying to inquire about what was happening.

I ran to the door, and unfastened the hook. Ighalo ran straight at my mum on the floor, and tried to pull her up. She resisted every attempt to get her on her feet.
“mummy i told you not to fight her when she returns, just look at what is happening” Ighalo said, picking up my torn shirt and throwing it at me to cover myself.

My dad entered the room in a hurry, and yelled “what is happening here?”
” Ella is fighting me o, Ella is fighting me. Your daughter is now sleeping with men, i wanted to check if she was still intact, and she started fighting me”

Those words cut deep into my heart, i felt a mixture of anger and remorse. I did not know how to show those feeling.

My heart began to pound, and my knees knocked each other. I was deeply terrified.
“so it has gotten to this?” My dad asked in anger, walking towards me and pulling out his belt.
