October First - My Day Of Independence by Bibi294(f): 4:49pm On Oct 01, 2017
I had stabbed him, I would do that repeatedly. I was his second wife and he had married three wives after all. He should die, and if I was to marry a man like him over again, I would stab him over and over.

I wanted to be on my own, I wanted to have more husbands just like he did, yet he deprived me! I had begged and begged for my own independence right in my home. When he heard I was going out with Chukwuka, he had beaten me and ridiculed me among my children and step children.

Nafisat, the woodpecker had ridiculed me and called me names, so did Sawawu, the Yoruba woman who would go any length to win our husband's heart. They had threaten to kill me if anything happened to our husband who was lying lifelessly on the floor. My children had splited of course, some were in support while some would ratherdie with their father... It was over anyways.

It was October Ist and I had come to settle it amicably when he started ranting and mumbling.

"If you are not mine, no one would have you!" He had threatened with a knife. I refused being intimidated by a useless man whose only advantage was making babies.

I remembered how he forcefully took his father's property over a jubilee ago, I wanted to pay him back in his own coin, killing him the same way he had killed his father
Before he could blink, I had stabbed him, I wanted my INDEPENDENCE and I had gotten it.

.... I could hear their chanting and shattering and I was not ready to open the door... It was a war song.... My rivals and our children wanted to know what happened to our Husband and their father! My mind was made up, hardened like a rock! I had killed him and I was ready for any judgement! Nafisat had charged towards me, running like a mad dog, I had closed my eyes awaiting death as the dagger she held was so sharp.... Few second later, I heard the song.... So solemn and I saw Nafisat and everyone joined.... I knelt in tears as I sang along...
"Lord, we pray for golden peace....
Peace all over the land...
My all men dwell in liberty....
Walking hand in hand...


Chr: Banish fear and ignorance
Hunger, thirst and pain
Banish hate and poverty...
Let no man in vain."




THE END.
