**********
The next morning after breakfast, I told the woman my story.
She intoduced herself as Lina, she was touched by my story.
She offered me a job as her househelp which I readily accepted.

Lina was a wonderful woman in her early thirties. She lived alone in her mansion, though I wondered why.
She treated us as a family, enrolled Eniola into school and all.

******
Life went on sweetly for us, we've spent almost 8 months with Lina.
I was in my room one day counting my savings, Lina paid me really well and I also make some money out of the money for house upkeeps.

"One..two..three..." I counted the naira notes loudly.
I summed it up.

"One hundred and fifty thousand?" I gasped

I shook my head disbelievingly and recounted the money again.
"Wonderful!" I exclaimed.

"So Tejumola Benson can have this huge money?" I asked myself again.
I did some dance steps happily.
I heard someone giggling, I turned to see Eniola, she must have been watching for long now.

"You, why are laughing like that.?" I feigned a frown.

"Nothing." she laughed some more.
"come here" I beckoned to her, and walked towards me.
I held her gently, looking at her all over, my baby was growing fast.

"Mummy, why are you looking at me like that?" she was smiling, her dimples showing.

I shook my head gently, she looked just like David, her eyes, the lashes, the thick hair, those lips...

"Mummy!" she pouted.

"Sorry" I said absent mindedly, tucking my savings under my pillow, I'd take it to the bank tomorrow.

"Sorry!" Eniola mimicked me.
She reminded me of my past trouble making.

"hey! Don't be like mummy!" I chided her.

She laughed again.
"here lil' princess" I placed her on my laps.
She froze momentarily.

"Mummy? Am I a princess?" she asked looking confused.

"Yea baby."

"My daddy is a King?" she asked innocently.

"Yes." I laughed.

"Wow!" she jumped off my laps.

"mummy why don't I see him? He doesn't like me?" she asked again.

"Your daddy loves you" I wasn't sure I said that.

"I've never seen him before, has he seen me before?" her voice was low.

"Now, baby, that's enough." I tried to hold her.

"Mummy, I wish I can see my daddy, my friend in school have a daddy, he buys her icecream...and..." her voice trailed off in despair.

I was shocked, Eniola has never spoken that way before. I was short of words..

"Eniola, go and play!" I told her, atleast to end this discussion.

"No mummy, I can't play." her eyes glinted, I saw the pains in there.

"Baby..whats going on..?" I whispered,

"Mummy, I want to tell you something..." she searched my eyes.

"Talk, mummy is listening."

she hesitated.
"C'mon sweerie.." I urged her.

"Mummy...Its Akpan.." she started.

Akpan? Akpan was Lina's gateman. I sensed trouble.

"Mummy?"

"I'm listening, baby talk to mummy." I assured her.

"he use to catch me if I'm playing." she flipped.

"Catch you? As how?" i was confused.

"He use to hold me and tell me to come and play with him, he use to rub my head and...."she hesitated.

"Baby, go on," I was losing my patience.
She didn't speak again, she had fear written all over her face.

"baby mi, tell mummy" I said soothingly.

"I...I...today in the morning..he catch me again...he now put his hand inside my pants...it pain me very well...I now started crying...he now say I should not tell my mother" she concluded.

I could'nt believe what I heard...the whole world came to a stand still... I looked at Eniola, her face full of sorrow and pain, that look was to much for a five year old.
"Mummy sorry.." she sniffed

I never noticed she was crying.
Akpan dared took advantage of my daughter's innocence.
Na curse?!!

"Akpan!" I yelled as I stamped out of my room.

"Akpan o...where are you Murderer!"

"Mummy!" Eniola tugged at my skirt.

I didn't look at her, I would show Akpan he tampered with my Jewel....I'll castrate him

Re: My Life::::**** by BukkyDan(f): 1:08pm On Jan 28, 2013
***********
"Akpanu oooo, where are you?" I yelled as I sauntered towards his room at the gate.

"Akpan bo si ta ooo, I say come out here!"
The unsuspecting Akpan rushed out holding his shorts loosely.

"Wetin happen na?" he frowned.

I didn't reply, instead I drag his shorts down leaving him unclad except for the singlet he was wearing.

He stood rooted to the spot, too astonished to speak.

"Oshi! Omo olori buruku! Shameless Idiot! How dare you prey on my daughter?" I screamed and clapped my hands.

"Rubbish!" he replied pulling his shorts up.

"What did you just say?"

"I say rubbish! Carry your bastard pikin comot ma see road jare!" he retorted.

I landed him threw slaps in quick successions.
"You called my daughter a bastard abi? You must show me you weren't born a bastard too! Agbero!" I said as I rushed towards his guard room

I emerged with a stick and kpo! The stick landed on his head. He screamed and fell down.

"Oshi!" I charged at him

a car's horn blasted at the gate. I knew too well it was Lina.

Akpan crawled to open the gate, holding his head.
I pounced on him again after he opened the gate.

Lina rushed out of her car towards us.
I was sitting on Akpan, feeding his face with slaps and fists.

"Stop that!" Lina shouted.

I didn't oblige, instead I took hold of Akpan's balls.
He screamed loudly.
I didn't let go, he started speaking in tongues.

"What's wrong with you?"Lina pulled me off him.

I didn't reply, I was breathing heavily.

"the both of you should meet me inside." she instructed before walking into the main building.

**********
I explained everything to Lina, but Akpan denied it all.
He told her I attacked him after he refused to succumb to my seductions.

I gaped at him, bruises and swells all over his face, his forehead was bleeding. He would never forget Tejumola all through his life!

"Tejumola, I'm suprised at you." Lina began
"How could you come so low?"

"Ma, you believed him?" my lips quivered

"of course i do!" she snapped.

My eyes almost popped out.

"I've been living with Akpan for ten years now, i don't think Akpan can do such. He is well-brought up..." she began

I swallowed hard and exhaled.

"Its in my interest to protect my gate-man, you nearly killed him!" she emphasised the 'kill'

"In that case, I'm gonna pay you off." she said carelessly.

I bit my tongue, I stopped myself from apologising. Tejumola isn't that cheap.

"here's fifty thousand naira, you have to leave now, you can go elsewhere, where they can gulp down your attitude". She concluded opening her handbag.

I collected the money, murmured a thank you, and made to go out with Eniola on my shoulder, I stoped at the exit on impulse

"Ma, I really want to appreciate you for what you've done so far, you've tried..." I sighed.

"Its just that, Tejumola won't sit back and watch some slum prey on her daughter..." I shook my head.

"May God bless you, for all you've done, may he reward you abundantly." I concluded with tears streaming down my cheeks.

Lina's lips moved but no words came out, she was full of pity and regrets. I didn't wait to hear what she'd say, I walked out.

"Mummy sorry" Eniola sniffed as I packed our few belongings together.

"Eniola, can you do mummy a favour?" I asked without looking up.

"Uhm!" she whimpered.

"Mummy wants you to stop crying, okay? Please my one!" I pleaded with her.

"But you're crying too.." she said amidst tears.

"Okay, mummy won't cry again." I turned to her wiping my tears.
"Now do the same." I forced a smile wiping her tears.

"I won't cry again." she smiled reassuringly.
I shook my head gently.

"I love you mum" she said throwing her arms round me.

"I love you my one and only." I patted her head.

"We need to leave now." I rose from my squatting position.

I've already made my plans.
I've made few friends, so I'd go to them now, I'd get an apartment before the week runs out, I'd get a shop and start selling provisions.

Atleast two hundred thousand naira would do, I assured myself as I and Eniola walked towards Bola's place. I and Bola have become so close within those few months.
Bola welcomed us, she was homely in her one room self contained apartment. She promised to help us get an apartment within a few days time.

I glanced at Eniola, she looked calm. For once I never regretted my actions, I would do even more than that to protect my child. That's why my name is Tejumola now. I smiled inspite of myself.

Eniola smiled too, she was watching me. I hugged her, our bond was too strong.

Re: My Life::::**** by BukkyDan(f): 6:34pm On Jan 28, 2013
Yes sir! @ big sholly.

::::::::::*****:
we got a one room self-contained within four days, not up to four streets from Bola's place. I also got a shop in the market, I started selling provisions and soup ingredients. Eniola enrolled in a school close to the market, so she could come to me after closing from school.
Business went on fine, atleast we didn't lack anything.

**************
Eniola was trekking back from school with her schoolmates. They walked in groups,-in three's and in four's.

"Eniola hold my hand lets cross the road." A neighbours daughter called Tola,told her. She was older than Eniola, I had begged her to help my baby cross the road always.

"No" Eniola said defiantly.

"C'mon give me your hand." tola said again.

"Nooooo" Eniola said again.

"Eniola, your mummy will beat you o" Tola warned her.

"I am a princess, my mummy won't beat me." Eniola said laughingly.

"I'l beat you o" Tola was getting worked up.

"Ehn? Me? Don't o! My father is a king!" Eniola was enjoying the whole game.

"Stubborn geh!" Tola snapped.

"Yes o!" Eniola replied before running into the road.

"Eniola!" Tola tried to hold her but she was far gone.

An on-coming car screeched loudly before coming to a halt, almost banging into her. She fell down due to fear. It's occupant ran out.

"Are alright?" David asked picking her up.

"Did you hit me?" she asked

"No, I don't think so, I almost did... Errm, sorry."

"I'm fine" Eniola laughed,

Tola ran to where they are.
"Sorry Eni.." she held Eniola.

"Next time you should hold her hands" David cautioned Tola.

"She refused" Tola explained.

"I want to learn how to cross the road" Eniola said pouting.

David smiled.
"not now baby !"

"you should go home now." he dipped his hands into his pocket and produced some naira notes
"here take this" he gave Eniola

"No thanks." she smiled before running off.

"Mummy Eniola, good afternoon" Tola flexed her knees as they got to my shop.

"Tola, bawo? Hows school today?" I replied hugging them both.

I placed a flask before them both
"Tola eat before going home." I instructed

"Mummy Eniola, one car hit your pikin today" Tola informed me gulping down some water.

"ofofo Tola" Eniola giggled.

"Sharrap!" I chided her

"Tell me my dear." I told Tola.

"The driver even dash us money, but we didn't collect." she said with a mouth full of food
"I wan hold her hand before o, but she refused o" Tola shrugged

"Eniola? Is that true?" I asked
she giggled softly

"is that a laughing matter?" I glared at her

She bent her head in remorse
"sorry but I was learning how cross the road" her voice was low.

Stubborn girl! I thought.
Well I'm not suprised, she took well after me. She was a real Tejumola offspring, I was tempted to laugh but kept a straight face.

"Never try that again" I said sternly

"Sorry mummy".

"Eat your food" I told her, before rising to attend to a customer.

"what other five lettered words do you know?" I asked Eniola.
I was helping her with her homework.

"Errrm..M-U-M-M-Y...." she scratched her head.

I laughed "write it down."

"I don't know anyone again.." she said looking up.

"What about D-A-D-D-Y, DADDY?"

"I don't want to write that" she frowned

"Why?"

"I don't have a daddy" she looked down

"You do have a daddy" I corrected her.

"I don't, i can't see him" she squealed.

Just then a customer walked in.
"Please I need a bottle of water" he said.

"Okay, gerrit from the fridge!" I replied without looking up.

"Good afternoon sir!" I heard Eniola say.

"Hi pretty, what are you doing here?" he replied.

"Mummy, look at the man that nearly hit me that day." Eniola informed me.

I looked up with a smile, but...

I just froze. The whole place became tensed; I could hardly breathe, what does he want here? How did he know I'm here?

"Teju?" David found his voice.

He dropped the bottle of water he was holding.

"I....errm..Teju...what are you doing here?...I mean..errm...how did you get here?" he looked pleased.

My tongue cleaved to the roof of my mouth. He hasn't changed a bit..still the good-looking guy that ruined my life. I swallowed hard.

"I...errrm...is she your daughter?" he persisted.

I felt anger surged through my veins.

"Yes o! She's my mother" Eniola quipped,

"Shut-up Eniola!" I screamed at her, was suprised at my outburst too.

The startled Eniola walked gently back to her book.

"And you!" I turned to face David.
"You came to buy water abi? Now take your water and walk out." my voice was rising.

"Teju..." he began.
"I'm sorry...I really am.." he moved towards me.

"Sorry? What for?" My voice was suprisingly calm.

"I never meant to hurt you..."

my cruel laughter cut him short.

"I'm sorry Teju, I don't know why you hate me so..."

A resounding slap stopped the gibberish talk.

"now you know how much I hate you huh? Leave my shop" I told him with my hands akimbo.

I expected him to hold his cheeks or make an expression, but he didn't seem to care about the slap.

"Teju please, we need to talk.." he tried to take my hands.

"if you touch me ehn? I swear, I go wooza you!" i threatened.

He smiled, turned to Eniola, squatting beside her he said.

"Baby...what's your name?" his voice was cool.

"Eniola David." she replied slowly with fear in her voice.

He held her chin softly, he examined her face, his hands patted her eyebrow..he searched her eyes..

"Take your filthy hands off my daughter!" I retorted, pulling Eniola away from him.

"She is mine right? She is my baby huh?" he was wearing a wierd look.

"see thief o..." i clapped my hands.

"you hate me so much, you claim to love my daughter..." he said in a lament.

"she's not your daughter!" I shrieked.

"she is! Her name is Eniola David..which other David do you know apart from me?" he moved towards me "Isn't it so clear? She has my face..."

"leave at once!" i cut him short

"I will, but I'd come back tomorrow to pick my child." he said stressing the word 'child'

I watched him as he left my shop.
I turned to glance at Eniola, i knew i was in deep mess if he should sue me to court. I don't think I can survive Eniola's absence.

"mummy don't mind him you hear?" Eniola said hugging my waist.

Tears streaked down my cheeks.
Is this my destiny? Do I have to suffer? In what way did i go wrong? Do i deserve all these?

Tomorrow! He said. I needed to act fast. He definitely can't take my daughter away.

Thank's 2 ya'al
:::::::::::*

I rested my head on the window pane, the events of the day flowed through my mind. David's voice echoed loud and clear.
My God! I gasped. Tejumola where did you go wrong? I asked myself

I looked at the bright moon searchingly, maybe I might find a solution there; but the moon seems dumb. I turned my attention to the stars but they were dumb too.
"What do I do?" I racked my brain.

Of course running away isn't an option. Bola said so when I told her about David few hrs ago. She had warned me sternly not to run away, unless I want to vacate the earth.

Could she be right? Maybe I should just drown myself or I should drink poison?

No! I shook my head, I can't! If I do, what would become of Eniola, besides I love my life.

"Tejumola Benson, think hard o" I told myself.

Eniola stretched and turned in her sleep, murmured something throwing the covers away. I redressed the covers, covering her properly.

"Leave me!" she protested

"shhhhh, keep quite, its midnight!" I hushed her back to sleep.

I lay beside her, trying my best to sleep but it eluded me. I gazed at the ceiling till day-break.

*************
"Mallam Adamu sannu o" i greeted the hausa man who sold beef close to my shop, as I unlocked my shop.

I came to shop late because I went to Eniola's school to pay her school fees.

David hasn't showed up, its almost a week now. So Bola was actually right, he meant no harm.

I sighed, as I dusted the provisions.
Only God knows how my parents are for now. Maybe Baami has forgotten about me..

"Iya Eniola welldone o" Tola's mother greeted me.

"I came to buy some soup material o." She announced sitting on a stool.

"Ah Ahn! Mummy Tola, you should have just given me the money while I was coming to shop this morning now..." I said with concern.

"No problem o!" she replied looking around.

"Errrm, shey you know Iya sikira?" she asked when she had the surity no one would hear us.

Mummy Tola the Amebo! I smiled to myself.
"Ehn now."

"Toh! The woman is in trouble now o" she made a face.

"trouble?"

"Yes o! You know she's having 15 children ba? Toh, the husband don impregnate that corper wey dey their compound o" she concluded.

"Ehn? How did that happen?" I asked holding my chest.

"How did that happen? Hehehehehe, na how e take dey happen, na im com happen" she laughed.

"Wonders shall never end o" I clapped my hands in gossip fashion.

"Errm, mummy, what do you wanna buy now?" I quicky said, in order to stop her from bringing up another topic.

She look disappointed" I wanted to tell you how Iya Demola killed her husband's son" she said with a frown

"Ah Ahn, leave that one till I come back home in the evening" I laughed.

"Are chasing me away ni?" she feigned annoyance.

"Noooo, haba! My shop is your own too now.." that was how I got rid of back-biting that morning.

That afternoon, I was sipping garri when I saw Tola running towards the shop, her feet was bare save the socks.
"Mummy o, Mummy Eniola oooo" she wailed throwing herself on the cemented frontage of my shop.

"Tola, ki lode? What happened?" I asked holding her.

"It's Eniola oo" she wailed the more.
My heart skipped, my hands became shaky...

"What happened to my baby?" my lips quiverred.

"She ....she...she...was...she...is...yeeeeee!" Tola cried the more.

Tears filled my eyes
"Talk to me Tola please...where's she?"

"some people catch her o...they put her inside motor and drove away" she managed to explain

"Yeeeee! Haaaaa! My daughter o!"
my daughter has been kidnapped...I raved like mad.
I threw myself on the flow, rolling from left to right and vice versa.

"My God o! Eniola ooooo!Haaaaaa! Moti ku ooo! Baami ooo...E gba mi ooo" I screamed and wailed.

A crowd gathered , with alot of Ohhs and ahhs!

I jumped up, about to run to Eniola's school, when someone gripped my hands... I turned sharply with tear stained eyes.

"David.." I whispered
I remembered his last words, maybe he abducted my daughter.

"David where did you take my daughter to? Where is baby? " I wailed shaking him vigorously.

"Give back my Jewel" I shook Him some more.

"I want my baby...give her back!" I wailed.

"I...calm down Teju, please." david said soothingly

"What happiness do you derive in wrecking my life? You're always intrested in stealing my joy" I lamented letting him go.

"I didn't take her!" he wore a painful look.

I searched his eyes, somehow I believed him, but I wasn't too sure.

"But you..." I started to say.

"Come." he pulled me into the shop. The crowd began to disperse.

"Baby, you have to stop crying, calm down please." he tried to make me sit down.

"Stop telling me to calm down!" I yelled.

"okay.." he sighed.

"Can we go to the police now...to report the issue?" he said patiently.

He helped me lock the shop, before leading me to his car, Tola was with us too.

At the station, David gave the statement's and all.
"What's your relationship with the girl?" a police inspector asked.

"She is my daughter." David replied stressing the word 'my'
He stole a glance at me, maybe he was expecting me to shout him down again, but I was too tired to do that.

David drove me home, I wept all the way.
Bola was waiting at my door, she hugged me and we wept together.
::::::::::::******
That night was a terrible one, full of lament and tears.
David had to leave cos I won't let him spend the night at my place. He beged Bola to stay with me, promising to come back the next morning.

"Bola? Do you think I was born to suffer?" I tapped Bola who was dozing off.

"stop talking like that, ehn, please." Bola looked worried and tired.

I sighed, and walked towards Eniola's picture that was hanging on the wall. She was all smiles.

"My lil' princess..." I began.
"where ever you are, remember mummy loves you..and I'm missing you now..you're precious to me.." I ran my hand over the picture

"Please Eniola, come back to mummy" I whispered gently, wiping a tear.

"Teju...whats this now? Stop crying, she'd be fine." Bola pulled me away from the picture.

My phone rang., I squinted at the strange number.
"Hello?"

"Hello Tejumola" a male voice replied from the other end.

"Yea, who am I speaking with?" I asked quitely.

The caller laughed cruelly
"Teju- Teju...you mean say you no recognise my voice?" he laughed again.

"No, please, who are you?" I asked in faint voice.

"ah ahn! Okay na Akpan dey talk. Madam Lina gateman..remember" he replied.

I was shocked, how did he get my phone number? What was he calling me for?

"Hello..Akpan..." my voice trailed off.

"I just call make I inform you say your pikin dey with me...you dey hear ko?" Akpan said with ease.

I clutched my stomach.

"your pikin dey for my hand o, anything me like, me fit do am, remeber wetin you do me ko?" he chuckled wickedly.

"Akpan..please...I..I'm..."I gave up trying to speak.

He laughed some more, before cutting th call.
"Hello? Hellloo?"
no response.

I slumped to the floor..I'm doomed
"Teju..what's wrong? Are you okay?" Bola held me

"Akpan has my child." was I could whisper before every thing blacked out.
