EPISODE 12
Oluchi instructed them to put me in a dark room and they did as instructed.
I was there crying my eyes when Oluchi came in with a torchlight.
"You came to hinder peacefulness in my home right?" She asked pointing her fingers rudely at me.
"No! Ma" I replied with a low voice.
"I will certainly use these bulky eyes for my festive meal," she said and left.
She locked the door before exiting.
I was silent as a mouse.
Envisioning the doom that will befall me gave me shivers.
"Why did I come into existence?' I asked myself thoughtlessly. "Did God have any purpose when he created me?
I asked numerous touchy-feely questions and all of them were left unanswered.
In the morning, Oluchi served me my breakfast.
My gleaming white teeth opened firmly when I saw the mouthwatering delicacy.
Lo and behold, I tasted the food with my tied hands and it was sour.
"Why are you puking out my food" Oluchi bellowed. "the food I cooked"
"It has an acidic taste," I said as though I was afraid of my own shadow.
"You have the temerity to say that my food tastes sour" she shouted and smote my cheeks repeatedly.
Tears as always were dribbling down my cheeks without end.
I couldn't defend myself - I was just staring at her hitting me continuously.
My heart was filled with fury when I roared
like I was steamed up.
Oluchi was like a cat on hot bricks when my deafening voice echoed in the room.
She dashed out instantly locking me away.
With her reaction, I found out that she was indeed nervous.
At noon, I started cogitating about when all these miseries will end.
No one has heard from Ben.
I didn't know if he was alive or not.
Mama was still in the mortuary. No arrangements for her burial have been made.
Unfortunately, she would be buried like a toddler.
Forthwith, I heard an abrupt knock on my door.
My heart started pounding because Oluchi doesn't normally knock while coming inside.
The door opened and I saw a silhouette of a male figure.
I saw the shape of his long manhood and pointed his touch directly to my face.
It was afternoon outside but in the room where I was constrained, it was night.
The man started coming towards me vigorously. Laughing uncontrollably.
Then, he said;
"I'm out of the cell now and the doggy style continues"
I froze when I deciphered that it was Chief Olewe's voice.
To be continued...
