True to her words,mum didn't give me money to buy sanitary pad. I took her advice and tore one of my towels into pieces,cutting it in a way that it would fit like pads. I had never felt so much discomfort in my life. Two days later,we had some guests. The Kalu's family came to see us. They've being family friends right from when we were still kids. They had a daughter and two boys. The girl,Kamsi was my friend. The two boys,Kenneth and Gospel were Emeka's friends. I also knew that Kenneth and Nenye were dating. Gospel was older than Kenneth and Gospel. There father was also late. I woke up that morning,did my morning ritual of praying,washing up and sweeping before I went into the kitchen to prepare different varieties of food as the Kalus' would come for lunch and leave after dinner. I made a simple breakfast of bread,egg and tea and served mum and Nenye before going to the kitchen to have mine. Mum was never stingy with food. I always ate to my satisfaction and shed wouldn't scream or beat me. I was almost through with my breakfast when she came into the kitchen. Mum: Bia,you've not finished? I shook my head and she hissed. Mum: Vegetable soup with eba for lunch,it'll go with goat meat pepper soup,then fried rice and chicken for dinner,it'll go with salad. I'll come and inspect you to make sure the meats are cooked and fried properly. Be careful while you make them because I won't forgive any mistake from your path. Me: Yes mummy. She left the kitchen and I hurriedly finished my breakfast before swinging into action. Mum had turned cooking into my hobby and I was always happy anytime I was cooking. I was putting down the peppersoup from the cooker when I heard a honk at the gate. I smiled as I was pretty sure it was the Kalu family. I didn't bother coming out,instead,i turned the peppersoup into a cooler and started parboiling the rice. I looked at the table clock in the kitchen,it read 12:05pm. They were early and I was glad that I was at least through with lunch and everything that will go with it. I had put the coolers containing the food away when I heard chattering in the sitting room so I guessed they were already in. I heard Nenye laugh so hard and I smiled. Our house has never seen laughter since Emeka left. I sat down on the kitchen stool and waited for Kamsi to come and join me. I was still trying to remember the last time they visited when I heard her voice coming towards the kitchen. Kamsi: Where is she? My nostrils surelg ain't lying to me. I smiled and stood up. She appeared at the door and we enveloped ourselves into a tight hug. Kamsi: Look at you. You sure look like a chef,with your apron and..... Me: You're looking very gorgeous. Kamsi was a very beautiful girl. She had always being. She was the one of my friends who I trusted with my life. She wasn't there when Emeka was buried but she had always called me. Today,with her pink top that stopped just on top of her belly button,her rugged jean and pink snicker with little make up,Kamsi looked just like barbie. Kamsi: I know. So what are you cooking? Me: Rice. Its for dinner. Kamsi: Oh! Come and greet mummy and the boys then we'll come back here and finish the cooking. I nodded and followed her into the sitting room. Mrs. Kalu was looking as beautiful as I had always known her to be,Gospel and Kenneth looked bigger than I had seen them and they were very handsome as well. Nenye was already sitting beside Kenneth and her face was glowing. Me: Good morning ma. Mrs. Kalu: Goof morning my dear. How're you? Me: I'm fine ma. How's business? She laughed. She was a very easy woman. Mrs. K: Business is fine my dear. Hope you're fine? Me: Yes ma. I looked at Gospel and Kenneth and waved my hands. They smiled. Me: I'll get you all something to drink. Mrs. K: That'll be nice. Juice please. I smiled and left while Kamsi followed. She had never being in good terms with Nenye. She always called Nenye a flirt and I was sure they hadn't spoken to each other. She helped me serve juice to everyone including Nenye. I turned and Gospel was looking at me with a smile on his face. I returned the smile and we went back to the kitchen. Kamsi: I think you should take down that rice. Its burning. I quickly checked it and put it down,pouring water inside so I can wash it. Kamsi: But why is she not here to help you out. Me: Who? Kamsi: Your sister of course. I smiled,praying that she drops the topic,at least for now. Kamsi: You people are spoiling that girl. Look how she's sitting down there,enjoying senior jokes. Me: Kamsi,help me transfer those basins to the counter. She stood up and started doing as I said,chewing the carrots I had earlier sliced. Gospel: I'm trying to believe you won't finish the carrots before they're put into use. We turned and looked at Gospel. He was smiling so wide Kamsi: What brings you to the kitchen? Gospel: Exactly what brings you. Kamsi: I see,but you won't enter the kitchen at home. Gospel: Why should I? When there is no Amanda in that kitchen. We all laughed. I wished it would remain like that forever. Wish I had company in this house. Me: Gospel! Gospel: Yes dear. How are you? I shrugged my shoulders and showed him my palms. Me: God has being faithful. He looked at Kamsi and shook his head. Gospel: Let me not waste your time. We will talk later. I nodded and he left while I continued with what I was doing. |
Mum: Now listen both of you,I'm glad you're through with registration. You'll both go to school from here. I want to keep my eyes on the both of you. Nenye: But mum,all my friends live around the campus. What if we have morning classes? Mummy please let me stay off campus with my friends. Mum: The driver will always take you to school. I want to keep my eyes on you two. Nenye: Mum...... Mum: Don't argue now. Chimamanda,hope I'm clear? Me: Yes mummy. Mum: Good. Its being four months since Emeka was buried. Everyone at the village had called it a taboo. They thought it was daddy's spirit who took Emeka. We didn't tell them that it was mum who killed her only son. We mourned Emeka like he was our god. After the mourning period was over,we went back to Enugu. Mum agreed that both Nenye and I attend Esut,because Nenye's friends were jambites there. I got my admission on merit and I'm sure Nenye got hers with connection. It doesn't matter to me one bit as long as I went to school. Every night while I slept alone at the BQ, I would keep seeing Emeka's face,the way he stared at me even at death. Memories of our last discussion would always fill my head,worst still,the accident had occurred in my room and there was no way it would leave my head. After that discussion,sorry,what should I call it? After that "talking to" with mum,I left the main house and walked to the BQ. I had become the lonely girl who always hid behind closed doors. The only person who was my friend in that compound was Chekwube,our driver. I walked into my room and sat down on the bed. We had earlier had lunch and I had just one hour to rest before going to make dinner. I suddenly felt a knot tighten in my stomach and I quickly rushed to my calendar. Jesus! My period. I checked my wardrobe and thankfully,I just had one sanitary pad which I would use at that moment. I made my way to the bathroom,took a warm bath and padded myself. I knew I was going to be in pain for the rest of the day and in order to prevent that on time,I made my way to the main house and into the sitting g room. Mum was still in the position where I left her but Nenye was nowhere to be found. Me: Excuse me mum. She looked at me and returned to her phone. I wouldn't dare say anything so I waited. Five minutes later,she looked up. Mum: What is it? Me: I'm sorry to disturb you mum but my period just started and I don't have any sanitary pad to use. I would like you to give me some money so I can rush down the street and get one. She gave me this wicked stare and dropped her phone. Mum: Is that how ungrateful you are? Ungrateful? What have I done? I thought. Mum: Some minutes ago,I just gave you the license to further your education and now you're coming to me for just sanitary pad. Must I see to all your necessary expenses? Be grateful for once Chimamanda. Don't you have savings at all? Tears dropped from my eyes. Did I mention that mum always gave Nenye #5000 weekly but never gave me even a hundred naira? Where then was she expecting me to get my savings from? Mum: I'm very well aware that you buy the foodstuffs for this house. I give you more than enough money to get them. At least,you should save from there. What am I even saying? Your miserable mother doesn't know how to manage so how will you learn that? If you don't have sanitary pad,tear your towel into shreds and use them. I've got better things to think of than a stupid teenager who wants to announce to the whole world that she's menstruating. My tears ran down in full speed as I watched her climb the stairs without looking back. I sat down on the floor and cried bitterly. This was not life. If only my parents,daddy or Emeka were still alive. Why was life so cruel? The burning in my lower abdomen started adding with each second so I stood up and left for the kitchen. I quickly got hot water from the flask and started massaging my stomach with it. I also drank some before settling down to cook egusi soup and pounded yam. Everything I knew about reducing menstrual cramps were taught to me by daddy Alex and today,I missed him a lot. |

MrsExplorer:tanx for the mention dear |
Thanks for following the updates. I'm sorry I haven't updated for a while cos I've being busy with work. This is a true life story. Though I'm not the victim but she happens to be someone very close to me. I'll update in no time. |
We were at the hospital. I was pacing around the reception. Mummy and Nenye were sitting down. Both of them were crying. My prayer was for nothing to happen to Emeka. I looked at my wristwatch, 7:45pm. The same day we came back from the village,how could things go wrong like this? I heard some footsteps and I turned around to see the doctor walk into the waiting room. We rushed to him but I stood behind mummy. The doctor's face wasn't encouraging at all. Mum: Doctor,how is my son please? The doctor shook his head. Doctor: Its terrible madam. His condition is very critical. I don't know if he'll survive this. Mum: No doctor. Please do anything. Do something please. Doctor: We'll try our best. For now,let's pray he survives. I carried myself to a nearby chair as tears ran down my cheeks. Mum: Doctor,he's my only son. Please do something to help him. Doctor: Like I said,let's pray he survives. Mum: Can we see him? Doctor: Yes. Follow me. We walked down the corridor into the private ward. We entered one of the numerous rooms and there was my brother,lying stiff with closed eyes,bandages on his head,his face obvious he was in pains. Some nurses were attending to him. I moved forward and went beside the bed. The nurses and doctor left us. I touched his head and my tears fell on his chest. Me: Emy nothing will happen to you. God won't let anything happen to you. I looked at mummy and Nenye and they were both crying. What hatred would do to someone. Look how Emeka is suffering because of his own mother. I hated her that instant. She noticed the way I was looking at her and she left the room. Nenye came closer and sat on a chair close to the bed. Nenye: Ejimam(my twin),please open your eyes. Please fight this thing. Mummy is sorry. She didn't mean to harm you. Open your eyes please. None of the words we said got him to open his eyes. Nenye left the room crying. I went to the chair she had earlier occupied and sat down. I wondered if he was still alive. If he could hear us after all. If there was a better word to qualify my feelings at that moment,I would have explained how I felt,watching my saviour lying helplessly on that bed. What caused all this? Food right? I hated mummy that moment. I was still lost in my thought when I fell asleep. I was hearing my name in whispers. Who could be calling my name in that manner? I opened my eyes and looked around. Memories of what happened came to me immediately. I heard that faint whisper again and I looked at Emeka,his eyes were open just a little. I looked at him to be sure he was the one whispering my name. His lips moved and that whisper came again. Me: Emeka, you're awake. Oh! Thank you Jesus. The wall clock took that instant to sing its 12:00 hymn. I looked at the clock and it was strange. It wasn't here earlier when we came into this room. I looked at Emeka and he was smiling. The bandages on his head was gone. Emeka: Sisim,I'm healed. I'm well now. I was confused. What's going on. He was just whispering my name some seconds ago and now,he's fit. I looked around and this was no longer the hospital room. Me: Where is this place? We're supposed to be at the hospital. Emeka: Yes,I know. Its only those who are sick that need the doctors and hospitals. I'm here because I'm not sick. Sit down let me talk to you. I sat down,not removing my eyes from him. His smile was constant now,like it was a permanent birthmark. Emeka: Nothing happens without a reason. I'm here today is because that is how God wrote it in my destiny. Don't live in fear of anybody because you're the light shining in our family. You're a great girl sis and nobody can ever take away your light. I smiled. He always knew how to praise me and he used every opportunity he had to do that. Emeka: You'll go to school. I may no longer be there to support you but trust me,you'll go to school. No matter the school it is,just put in your best to it,something good will come out of it. Another thing,don't fight them. Please don't. They'll find every reason to taunt you but just don't fight them. You're a great girl and you'll go places. Me: But......... Emeka: Wait for me. Daddy is calling me. Before I could say anything else,he walked away. I decided to wait for him on that chair. I relaxed on it and closed my eyes. Some minutes into my sleep,I felt the urge to ease myself. I opened my eyes and I was back in the hospital. That was when it became clear to me that I've being dreaming. A look at my wristwatch told me it was twenty minuted past 12. I shrugged my shoulders and went into the toilet. I did my business and came out. I looked at Emeka and he was breathing heavily,like it was difficult to get the air out of his lungs. I rushed to him but I didn't know what to do. I ran out to the waiting room to call the nurses there. I also woke mummy up,she was sleeping at the waiting room. Me: Please help me nurse. My brother is breathing heavily. What I said got mummy standing up immediately,waking Nenye whose head was on her laps. We all rushed back into the room and this time,the tears ran down on there own. Emeka was throwing his arms around,like he was struggling with something. His eyes were now open but he was still breathing heavily. The nurse ran out to call the doctor while mummy went and sat on the bed and carried Emeka on her laps. His struggle didn't stop. He fought whatever it was. He fought with his strength, not taking his eyes away from me. Suddenly,he stopped struggling. A tear ran down to his ear. I saw his chest go up and with a loud grunt,it fell back heavily,his eyes still on me,but he was no longer breathing. I went closer and mummy shook him. My throat suddenly went dry and I couldn't speak. The doctor came in that minute,he asked mum to leave him alone. Mum stood up and Emeka's body fell back on the bed. The doctor straightened him up,ran his fingers in some areas of his body while the nurse wrote down something in a file. I watched as the doctor used a sheet to cover him entirely and Nenye started wailing. The doctor turned around and the next thing he said after looking at his wristwatch was;"time of death,12:30am." I passed out. |
Tanx all for giving me the privilege to continue this story. tanx for following as well. Story continues tomorrow |

Emeka: If someone else was treating Nenye like this,how will you feel about it? I don't see any wrong Amanda has done but if you insist that she moves to the boy's quarter,fine. I'll move in with her. Mum stepped back and her eyes were filled with rage. I kept on kneeling,waiting for the next reaction. Emeka: Listen to the voice of reasoning mum. If daddy were here,would you send Amanda to the BQ? You're just doing all this things because daddy is no more. This is wickedness. Nenye: Don't talk to mother like that. Even if you will,not because of this thing here. Emeka: Call her a thing one more time and I'll slap out a tooth from your mouth. Look at you,spoilt brat. Trust me,you'll regret all this in the near future. Nenye: That's your own cup of milk. I'm beginning to wonder if you two are up to something secre...... Emeka rushed to her and held her arm and she cried in pain. Emeka: You should bed grateful that I'm your brother. One more word from you and I'll beat you to pulp. Look how mummy has spoilt you. God forbid but I'll never attend same school with you because you'll end up rubbing mud on my face. Mummy: That is one place you're right my son. You don't need to tell her that. You'll be going abroad to further your education. There was silence in the room. I was shocked. This was a plot to send Emeka away. I looked at Emeka. I couldn't look at anyone else. He started with a smile and then he started laughing. I became confused. Why was my life like this? Every saviour I had known always left me alone. Why? Emeka: If you're still planning,better stop it cause I'm not going and if you've planned it already,I'm sorry because you just spent your money on nothing. I'm not leaving Nigeria for anywhere. Dad never wanted it and I'm going with dad's decision. I don't care how you'll do it but just give up the passbooks to our accounts and we'll see ourselves through school. Mum: Chukwuemeka,what do you think your mother is? Nenye will go to Tansian,Amanda will go to open university and you're going to oxford. Take it or you leave it. Emeka: That's your business mum. I..... Mum: Mind how you talk to me boy Emeka looked at his mum and shook his head. Emeka: Making your hatred for Amanda go this far has made me loose all the respect I have for you. Eat your Oxford. I'll be in this house and see how you'll maltreat Amanda. He turned to me. Emeka: Get your bags. We're going to the boy's quarter. He picked up his bag and left. I remained in my position,with streams of tears running down my cheeks. I could feel there eyes on me. I needed no Jupiter to tell me that. Mum: And you,get out before I loose it. Me: Mum please I'm sorry for...... Mum: Get out. You're worthless and I don't care about whatever nonsense you want to vomit from your mouth. Get out. She was screaming so loud that I thought her voice would ache from it. I got up and picked my box and made to leave. Nenye: Mum had said you should take the things from your room upstairs as well. I turned around and went upstairs,packing everything I called mine including daddy's pictures which hung on the wall. Two hours later,I was in my new room at the BQ. I had put everything in place with the help of Emeka. We had sat down to rest when I got a text message on my phone. "will you just sit down there and lazy about? get your sorry self in here and make lunch for my children and I". Me: Emy,I need to go and make lunch for us. Emeka: They should prepare it themselves. Me: Are you not hungry? Won't you eat as well? Emeka: Listen sisim,so long as they don't want you in the main house,we won't go there either. We'll make do with what we have here. I'll go out now and get some money from the ATM so I'll buy some foodstuff we can use here. Don't worry yourself. We'll be fine here. By Monday,I'll go and see Barrister Kelechi. He was daddy's lawyer. I believe he'll help us out a lot. Me: No please. I don't support this idea of yours. Mummy deserves our respect and...... Emeka: Now don't provoke me. Sit down here and I'll be right back. Me: Wait Emy. Let's go and discuss it with mum first. Another text came into my phone and before I could read it,my phone started ringing. It was Mum. I looked at the screen and Emeka took the phone from me. He picked it and put it on speak out. Nenye: Bia,mummy is coming there now. You better come out from there and come and make food o. She hung up before Emeka could say anything. He dropped the phone on the bed and walked to the door. The door flew open hitting Emeka so hard and he fell,hitting his head on the wall before falling down on the tiled floor. Mum came into the room just as I stood up to run to Emeka. She froze on the spot. What has she done? |

Mummy: Amanda,get inside. Emeka reluctantly left me and I made fast steps into the room. On a second thought,I came back and hid behind the curtain. Mummy: What's the talk about going to Tansian? Who made that decision in this house? Emeka: Mummy,I had told daddy about it and he supported the idea. Mummy: Did he also support that Amanda goes? Emeka: Yes mum. In fact,he said that we all can go to Tansian. He..... Mummy: If you all go to Tansian,who would stay with me? The house will be so lonely and dead. You know I need company especially now that your father is no more. Maybe you and Nenye can go while Amanda will go to Esut or IMT. Emeka didn't say anything. There was silence in the sitting room. Mummy: Daddy talk to me nau. Emeka: Till we get back to Enugu first. Amanda also has to make a decision y'know. Mummy: But..... Emeka: Mum please don't stress it. I'll be inside. I quickly walked down the corridor to my room. I prayed like I had never prayed before,asking God to see me through. I didn't mind going to any school so long as I was going to further my education and get a degree. Our journey back home wasn't bad. The driver drove us and we didn't say much on the way. As soon as we entered our compound,I knew I was back to being the slave. We all got down and was waiting for the driver to come open the boot when mum called for our attention. Mummy: Drop all the luggage downstairs. We'll be having a meeting now. Nenye: But mum,I'm hungry. Can't we at least eat something before the meeting. Mummy: Don't worry dear. Its going to be a short one. Emeka looked at me and smiled. I was too nervous to smile back? Instinct told me I was the reason for the meeting. He came to me and patted my shoulder. Emeka: What's the matter? Me: Nothing. I'm fine. Emeka turned to know if anybody was close but he saw mum opening the door while Nenye stood behind her complaining of something. Emeka: I know you're worried about this sudden meeting. You have to always believe me, I'm here for you and I'll always be. You need not worry about mum and her wahala. You'll be safe okay? I nodded,trying hard to fight the tears and stop them from falling. I lifted my box and dragged it into the house. Mum and Nenye were already seated. I quickly dropped my box where Nenye had dropped hers and took a seat. Emeka entered shortly and the meeting began. Mummy: First of all,I want to thank you all for the good behaviour you all put up in the village. It shows you all are now matured enough to know between right and wrong. Thank you very much for not disgracing me at the village. Nenye: Don't you trust me mummy. I knew that those wicked men and women at the village will be monitoring all our movements so that they'll have something to gossip about when we return,but I'm glad there plan didn't work at all. Mummy: That's my girl. Now,to the reason why I called this meeting,I'll go straight to the point. I adjusted in my seat,waiting for the worst. Mummy: Amanda! I swallowed hard. Here it comes. Me: Ye.....yes mummy Mummy: I want to state how the affairs of my family will be ran from now onwards. If you're not happy with it,you can pick your box from that spot and walk out,I'll be kind enough to give you transportation fair although I know that you made new boyfriends at the village who gave you enough money. Nenye chuckled and my eyes got wet. Mummy: Did you get me clear? Me: Yes mummy. Mummy: Good. From today,you'll be seeing to all the domestic chores in this house; cleaning,washing,mobbing,drying,cooking,every damn chores. Did..... Emeka: Mummy please wait. Mum: I'm not talking to you. Will still get to your part. Emeka: But mum,if she handles all the chores,what will Chinenye be doing? Nenye: Mummy tell Emeka not to call my name there again o. Is it bad if I don't do anything? Emeka: Ihere mee gi(you should be ashamed of yourself). Look what is coming out from your mouth. At your age,you can't do any thing. Spoilt brat. If its to have boyfriend now,you'll know how to do that one. Emulate Amanda for once and...... Mummy: Now shut up both of you. Nobody is going to speak anymore until I'm done. Do you get me? Nobody said anything. Was I talking before? Mummy: As I was saying,Amanda will handle all the domestic activities of this house. After this meeting,you'll go back to your former room,pack out everything you have there and move them to the boys quarter. I raised my head in shock. I was alarmed. I never knew it would get to this. Tears ran down my face and I began to miss daddy. Emeka: Why? Why will she move to the boys quarter? Has the rooms in this house finished? What will you do with all the rooms here? Mummy this is wickedness. It is not fair. Mummy: Ikwusigo?(are you done speaking?) Nobody will flaunt my orders in this house not even you Chukwuemeka. Emeka sprang up immediately like he's being bitten by something. Emeka: I'm sorry mum but I'm going to flaunt your orders this time. Amanda is not moving to the boys quarter but if she must,I'll also move in with her. Mum sprang up immediately and launched an attack towards Emeka. He stood his ground and looked on as she approached. She raised her hand to give him a slap but somehow,she missed the target. I quickly went between the two of them and knelt down. Me: Mummy please,Emeka biko. Don't say anything anymore. I'll move to the boys quarter. Don't fight because of me. Mummy,I'll do anything you say don't just fight anymore please. |

Milonis:tanx dear. Glad that I'm being appreciated afterall |
We remained at the village until all the rites were completed which was close to six months. Our waec result had being released and we all did brilliantly well. I must confess,while at the village,I enjoyed a little peace because mummy treated me fairly with Nenye. I knew without being told that it was to please our relatives but I had to enjoy it while it lasted. A week before we were supposed to travel back to Enugu,uncle Henry visited us. He spoke to mummy for a very long time before he sent for us. As soon as we sat down,mummy left. We greeted him and sat down. Uncle Henry was mummy's twin brother. They didn't look alike one bit but I knew for sure that Uncle Henry was nicer than mummy. U. Henry: Beautiful children. How're you all doing? We replied casually. We were used to him calling us beautiful. U. Henry: I came to speak to the three of you and I'll do that the same way I'll talk to my children so I would love it if you listened attentively. We all nodded in approval and listened. U. Henry: I need not mention to you the kind of relationship I hold with your mother. I also know very well how you three came about being siblings. There is this bond that binds blood together and I want that bond to bind the three of you together. Your father,of blessed memory loved you all equally and treated you all with same hands but now that he's no more,I want each and every one of you to take care of each other,love each other and protect each other. I don't know how you live in Enugu but I know that once in a while,there's bound to be quarrels and disagreement between family members but as the saying goes,the hurt from a brother doesn't reach the bones,try to mend fences as quickly as possible. Don't look at your mother. I know women. She'll confuse you with having a favourite between the three of you,let it be. Show her that no matter her choice,you three can still pull forces together. Let love lead and direct you all and in the long run,I believe that you all must surely be where your late father planned that you'll be. Tears ran down my eyes. I thought about daddy and all he normally said to me about loving my mummy no matter how bad she treats me. I was lost in thought that I didn't know when Uncle left. It was Emeka who took me out of my thoughts. Emeka: Sisi m,where are your thoughts? I looked at him and he hugged me immediately. He was my companion and best friend. Emeka: Stop crying. Am I not here for you? Or you want me to cry too? I shook my head and he used his hand to raise my chin. Emeka: Daddy left for good. Do you know what our condition will be if he were still here? I believe that everything that happens on earth happens for a reason. We've cried enough so stop please. Me: Daddy just left. He was the only person who understood me,he believed my words and ......... Emeka: I'm here now. I promise never to leave you alone. Remember daddy opened an account each for us for our university education? This is time to prove to mummy that we're no longer kids and I won't let her hurt you anymore. We'll both go to tansian university. I googled the school,even told daddy about it and he agreed so now that I know he gave his consent,we'll both attend the university together. I promise you,I'm still your best friend. I won't leave you,not in this life and not ever. I smiled and went into his arms. At that same point,the door swung open and in she came,with the worst kinda devilish look I've ever seen. My smile quickly went sour and I struggled to get away from Emeka's arms but he wouldn't let go,unaware of the volcano that was waiting to erupt. |
would really love it if my work is appreciated. for those viewing,thanks a lot. I sat down on the muddy ground,looking on as daddy's golden casket was being lowered to the earth. I had cried and gotten tired of crying. I couldn't believe that my foster daddy was gone,after promising to take me away from mummy and her constant troubles. I looked at mummy,dressed in a lacy white gown. She was looking at me and I wondered if it was pity or hatred that I saw in her eyes. She wasn't crying. She just kept her gaze on me. ****Three months ago**** After daddy left the house,I went into the house and saw Nenye struggling with the broom. I took it from her and swept the entire house before going into my room. I picked up my phone from where it was charging and dialled Emeka's number. Emeka: Sisi m Me: Emy nwa,how are you? Emeka: I'm fine. How are you? Me: I'm not fine. Emeka: Ahn ahn. Are you sick? Me: It's mummy. She..... Emeka: Did she beat you? I'll call her up right now. Me: No. No. She's having problems with daddy because of me. Emeka: How? I took time to explain to him all that happened that morning,including the slap. He sighed deeply and paused for a while before speaking. Emeka: Nne,I'm sorry about what mummy did. I'll round up my computer classes and come back as soon as possible. Me: Daddy said I'll leave with him today. Emeka: Sisi,you're not going anywhere. I'll call daddy immediately and plead with him. For my sake please. Me: Its okay. I also want to stay with my family. Daddy is just angry,when he comes. back,I'll talk with him and we'll settle everything. Emeka: Thanks Sisi m. Where is mummy now? Me: she left while I was sweeping the house. Emeka: Okay. But trust me,I'll be back as soon as possible okay? Me: Better o cause I'm missing you too much. Emeka: Me too. We spoke a little longer before we said our goodbyes and I went to eat breakfast. Nenye didn't come out of her room till I served lunch. She ate and asked me to keep food for mum and dad before she went back to her room. While frying plantain for dinner,hot oil poured on my leg. I cried out in pain and cried while the plantain burnt away. Mummy came back around 8:00pm and I served dinner. On a normal day,she would beat me once she sees any burnt part of the food but today,she ate it without saying anything to me. I did the dishes that night,using the opportunity to wait for dad. I wanted to talk to him. He needed to stop beating his wife. I waited till I slept off on the couch. The next morning brought about the worst news I'd ever heard. Daddy was found in his car along the road,dead. It was not an accident,he was not shot or injured. His head was on the steering,like he was sleeping. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I watched as the men from Kingdom Heritage funeral undertakers lowered the remains of my daddy to mother earth while on the other hand,mummy stared at me,not removing her eyes for once. We were all dressed in white but I didn't care. I was sitting on the muddy ground as it had rained heavily that morning. Emeka stood beside me. He was crying his eyes out. My friends from school were all around me but will there presence bring back my daddy Alex? I only came back to the present when Ginika tapped me,asking that the priest was talking to me. I stood up and realised that everyone was looking at me. I looked at Father Jude,he was our parish youth father. He was a close friend to the family. He was smiling but today,I wouldn't smile with him. Fr. Jude: Amanda,show respect to your father. The catechist handed me a shovel. I took it from him, collected some sand from the heap on the floor and held onto the shovel. For the first time in two weeks,tears fell from my eyes. Me: Daddy,why didn't I leave the house with you? I would have being with you today. Why did you choose to leave me alone? Why daddy? Who did you visit? Who did this to you? Is this where you promised to end? I thought you promised to be there with me all the time? Are you happy seeing our faces this swollen and red? Daddy why didn't you fight death? Why didn't you come home like you promised? Or is this a better way of making peace reign? Daddy who will take care of us? Daddy I have so many questions to ask you but since you swore not to answer them,rest in peace. Since you were weak to fight death,daddy,fight now that you're immortal. Fight whoever did this to you daddy. The shovel left my hand and landed into the grave,right on top of the casket while I slumped on the floor,crying my heart out. Emeka and some of my friends came and took me away into the house while the rite continued. |
A slap landed on my left cheek while I got a knock on my head from behind. "mummy,I swear,I didn't take the money. I haven't even swept your room this morning." She looked at me with scorn and had another reason why i would be dealt with. "Chy,go and call your father."she said to her daughter who was my age mate and had given me the knock on my head. Chinenye ran into the house,leaving me alone with her mother who was my aunt. My name is Chimamanda Okoye. I'm nineteen years old and just finished my waec. I don't know my real parents but I grew up with mummy Joy and daddy Alex. According to what I was told,daddy Alex was my mother's elder brother. They were the only children of their parents. My mother had died while giving birth to me three months after my father was buried. I grew up knowing Joy and Alex as my parents. On the other hand,Chinenye and Chukwuebuka are the only children of mummy Joy and daddy Alex. They were twins. They're older than me with just two months. We three wrote waec together and were awaiting our results. Chukwuebuka left for Abuja immediately our exams finished. He was my best friend,my confidant and my saviour. Daddy Alex was also good to me but he was never around. It was from one country to the other and whenever he was around,mummy Joy tried her best to prove to him that I was worthless. Alex: Amanda,why are you kneeling down? What did you do? I quickly noted the frown forming on Chinenye's face. She had come out to the backyard with her father smiling sheepishly. Joy: You won't ask me, your wife,why I'm punishing her eh daddy? Alex: What did she do? Joy: She stole my money. Daddy looked at me and frowned. He came closer to me and squatted,daddy was a tall man. Alex: Amanda,did you take your mother's money? I shook my head as fresh tears fell from my eyes. Alex: Speak my child and stop nodding. Learn to defend yourself. He spoke in a very soft way that I wanted to pull him to me and hug him for loving me so much. Me: Daddy,I didn't take the money. I haven't even gone into mummy's room this morning. I........ Joy: Shut up your mouth. I'm still talking about the money that you stole and you're drumming it into my ear that you've not swept my room this morning. What do I keep you in this house for? Alex: And what will Chinenye be doing while she's working herself up in this house? Chinenye: Daddy...... Alex: Shut up and get into the house. Make sure you've swept the entire rooms before I get back into that house. Joy: Daddy leave this girl alone. How can she be suffering in her own father's house? Alex: If sweeping the house is suffering,she should suffer. Now,get into that house now. Chinenye ran into the house making noise like she was crying. She had never touched a broom since our childhood. I wanted to stop her and tell her to wait for me to do it but I caught daddy staring at me in a mean way. Joy: Look how you overlooked this fool's mistake and carried it all out on my daughter. Nenye is still a child. She..... Alex: Woman,don't provoke me anymore. You call that arrogant girl a child? If so,then Chimamanda is a child too. Why leave her to do all the work? Joy: This is your house and Nenye is your child. If this bastard needs someone to pamper her,she should go and look for her late parents and live with them. Mummy Joy meant to walk away but daddy slapped her and she fell on the ground. Alex; You dare call my niece a bastard? Twenty one years ago,who was i? Who knew me in this country? Her father made me who I am. Her father restructured my life and that is why you even married me at the first place. This house belongs to Amanda because her mother willed everything to her,the money and every other thing you used in starting your business,it was from Amanda's money. Now,you call her a bastard. Is that how shameless you've become? I won't say this again,lay your hands on this girl just one more time and that will be the end of our marriage. I knelt there and tried to think over all daddy was saying. The house was mine? I had money too? Then why did mummy Joy always refer to me as a wretched child who her parents left with nothing? I wanted to smile and dance around for joy but not now,not when my mummy was on the floor in pains. Alex: Amanda,go and finish with whatever you're doing. Once I come back,you're leaving this house with me. Mummy Joy left as soon as daddy left the house but while mummy came back later around 8:00pm,daddy never returned. |

I was lying down,typing away on my phone when the door opened and Tobe came inside. Tobe: Hello dear Me: Hi. Come and sit down. He came to the bed and sat beside me while I sat up. He looked different,he wasn't his usual smiling self. Me: Tobe,what's wrong with you? He shook his head and I went closer to him. Me: What's bothering my boyfriend? Talk to me. He broke down and started crying. I drew him into my arms and did my best to console him. Like lightening, he took my lips into his and his tears touched my face. He kissed me like his life depended on it and I kissed back,wrapping my hands around his neck. I felt his tongue probing into my mouth and I opened up to let him in. The kiss was sending shivers down my back and I was loving it. I didn't bother to ask him why he was crying anymore. I just let him kiss away his problems. His hands suddenly cupped my bosoms which were only covered with a light singlet. He fondled them for awhile before tearing up the singlet and lowering his lips to my left tips. I moaned audibly at the feel of his lips on my tips and he took it as an approval to go further. He would suckle on one and use his finger to tickle the other,changing tips at interval and giving them undivided attention. He slowly made me lie back on the bed and pulled off my short,exposing my p**sy which was now glistening with its own wetness. He resumed sucking on my tips but this time,with a hunger that I never knew existed. I was in cloud 9 and loving every bit of it. He left my tips and started coming upwards,kissing my neck,my ear,my lips and every part of my face. The sensation I felt was out of the world. I began to pull at his belt and he got the message immediately. He undressed quickly and took back his former position which was on top of me. He nibbled on my tips and started a slow journey down to my p**sy using his tongue. He stopped just on top of my clit which was thick and in need of attention and looked up at me. I closed my eyes as I felt his tongue brush through my clit. I gasped out loud and held onto his head. He started lapping on my juice,stopping at interval to look at me. His tongue suddenly entered my hole at the same time he grabbed one of my huge melons. I felt the heat and sensation wash through me and I exploded into his waiting mouth. My body shook violently like I was convulsing but he never took his tongue out of my p**sy,using his hands to keep my legs open. I was still trying to recover from my wonderful orgasm when he picked the pillow beside me and raised me to it,that my a$$ was on top the pillow. I opened my eyes and looked at him and he gave out a smile. He held his John Thomas and positioned it at the entrance of my p**sy. It was so thick and curvy that I began to doubt if it would fit in. Without any warning,he started pushing it in. I closed my eyes and opened my legs wider. He didn't let it enter fully before pulling it out and wetting himself with my juices. The second time he inserted it,he rammed it all in and screamed,both from the pain and the strange feeling it gave me. Tobe: fvck! you're so tight. I heard him say. He began thrusting in deep and fast stroke while I lay there,pulling the bed sheet and screaming all sorts of nonsense. He kept on stroking,squeezing my bosoms and rubbing my tips. Some minutes later,he pulled out of me and turned me around. I knelt on my knees and raised my a$$ up to be in line with his big Dickson. I felt him enter from behind and he spanked my a$$ and started thrusting. I jerked and screamed loudly. Tobe: Call my name honey. Tell me how much you love this boy inside you. I obeyed like a robot. I kept screaming his name and asking him to pound me harder while he kept thrusting with deep and fast strokes. He raised my left leg and gave me one long thrust which sent me over the edge and I started cuming again. I heard him grunt behind me and while I struggled with my orgasm, he pulled out from me and sprayed his seed a over my a$$ before we both slumped on the bed and went into an orgasmic sleep. |
2BB4CB3E:okay. tanx alot |
Me: I'm 20,the only child of my parents and we live at Onitsha. Tobe: I believe you but trust me,you lied about your age. You should be between 23 and 24. I smiled. Tobe had fulfilled his promise of coming back the next day. He took me to a bush bar in the area and we decided to know more about ourselves over a few bottles. Me: That's what a lot of people say. I also believe them cause I look older than my age. Let me take a short time to describe myself. I'm chocolate in complexion,average in height with straight legs,my natural hair is long and black so I love to flaunt them. My bosoms are round and full,my hips perfected my curves,giving me an hour glass shape. I'm not the girl you'll call beautiful but God knows I'm good looking enough to make a man drool. Tobe: Exactly. You look older than 20. Me: Enough about me already. Tell me about Tobechukwu Onuoha. He laughed,his voice ringing out and causing goose bumps to appear on my skin. Tobe: How come you know my surname? Me: Every student of ESUT is bound to know your surname. Except the person doesn't know you as the son of our vice chancellor. Tobe: I bet Franca told you that. Me: She did. So start talking please. He cleared his throat and sipped from his glass. Tobe: I'm the last child of my parents. The rest of my siblings are either married or abroad. I'm stuck here with mum and dad. I live at okolozoma lane,old GRA,I'm 24 and finally,I think I'm falling in love with you. My heart beat increased immediately. I stared at him and he didn't stop smiling. Tobe: Stop staring please. I know you're used to hearing those lines. He finished his drink,called a waiter and paid the bills. Tobe: Come,let's go to town. I stood up like someone who's being controlled with a remote. He held my hand and led me to where he packed his SUV. I got in and he drove off,heading to somewhere I don't know. He drove for some minutes and stopped,clearing to a corner of the road. Tobe: I don't like silence. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I opened my mouth to talk but nothing came out so I cleared my throat. Me: I'm sorry just that I'm surprised. What you said was the last thing I expected to hear and . . . . . Tobe: Is it wrong for someone to express himself? Or don't you like me? Me: Yes. I mean,I like you,its not wrong. What you said isn't wrong at all. Tobe: Better still,do you have a boyfriend? Me: I don't. Tobe: It's okay. I don't really know where to take you to at the moment. You made me uncomfortable back there that's why I decided we leave the place. Me: I'm sorry. Tobe: Let's go to shoprite. I need to pick something for my house. I smiled and he drove off. We got to shoprite and as usual,the place was crowded. We made our way inside,holding hands like we were couples. We went from toiletries to provisions. He kept on asking me what I liked and what I didn't. What i liked,he will pick it and what i didn't,he would drop immediately. We bought canned drinks as well. Shopping with him was fun and I can swear I saw a lot of girls from school staring at us. Was I falling for this guy? Yes I was. He stopped a guy and asked him to give us a shot after which we took selfies. We left shoprite with lots of bags,both mine and he's. We stopped by an eatery and filled our empty stomachs before he drove me home. My excitement was immeasurable and it was obvious. We got to my lodge that evening,almost everyone was outside as it was more like a ritual to come out every evening and gossip with the excuse of receiving fresh air. Tobe helped me carry the bags to my block where Franca was waiting patiently. He hugged me before leaving and the first question that came out from Franca's mouth was,"are you two now dating?" |

I was outside,about washing the clothes I had earlier worn when I noticed a black SUV driving into the compound. I took my eyes away because we were used to seeing different cars drive into the compound because it housed lots of runs girls. I sat down to begin my washing and noticed I wasn't with my phone. I love music and it was(is) my better half. I went in,picked my phone and my ear piece and came out,only to see Franca stepping out from the SUV. She was face full of smiles. I knew that Charles,Franca's boyfriend has a car but I'm also sure it wasn't an SUV. Franca came to me and hugged me. Me: Welcome. Sorry for leaving you behind. Franca: It's okay. I understand. I was about asking her the maga she jammed on her way back when Mr. Bumper came down from the car too. My face flushed and Franca noticed it. She laughed audibly and entered the room leaving us outside. Tobe: You know you're not doing the right thing. Me: And what is it I'm doing? Tobe: You left your friend behind,just because of me. If you weren't comfortable with my presence,you should have said it instead of acting childishly. But thanks,you gave us time to know each other better. I was sure he noticed my face get tighter than it was. I looked at him and noticed he had a thriller's polythene in his hand. Tobe: Okay,I'm sorry for bumping into you,for interrupting your meal and generally ruining your day. Forgive me. I'm not like that okay. Me: Who says I want to know what you're like and what you're not? You're stalking me and I don't like it. I sat down without looking at him so I couldn't see the expression on his face but what I heard next surprised me. Tobe: Here was I,thinking I was talking to a well mannered lady,not knowing I was with someone whose arrogance is hidden behind a beautiful face. I regret driving to this place because of you. He dropped the polythene on top of clothes which was heaped on the ground. He turned before I could say a word and drove out. Franca came out of the room,tying a wrapper. The look she gave me wasn't a good one. Franca: What's your problem? Are you the first person to have a bad day? Why are you suddenly rude to someone you don't even know,just because he bumped into you? Don't you bump into other people? I had nothing to say. I began to see clearly. I had over acted my annoyance. Franca; That's the desert we bought for you. You might as well take it or return it back to him. She walked back into the room. I picked the polythene and peeped inside. My favourite ice cream flavour,strawberry and two sandwiches. I smiled and went after Franca. She was lying down on our big sized bed and making a call. She was apologizing and I quickly noted that it was Tobe. She noticed my presence and promised to call back. I jumped on her and she pushed me away. Me: I'm sorry nau. Franca: You did nothing to me. Call Tobe and apologise to him. Me: But you're angry. Forgive me first and then we'll talk about Tobe. Franca: Babe, it was too much abeg. It was too much. Except you know him from somewhere else? Me: No. I'm just seeing him for the first time today. Franca; And you put up all this attitude? Me: I'm sorry nau. Franca: I forgive you. I'll call Tobe now and you'll apologise. Me: Lemme send him a text. Franca: No. I'm calling him. He picked his call immediately and no matter how Franca pleaded with him,he refused to speak to me. I finally sent him a message using Franca's phone but making sure I wrote my name on it. He didn't call back. After we waited for minutes,Franca went to do the washing I started while I sat beside her,spooning my ice cream into my mouth. She kept on talking about Tobe. He was the son of our vice chancellor and he stayed at old GRA. She seemed to know a lot about him in just one day. I figured that Tobe was a nice person and I regretted acting the way I did. Tobe didn't call Franca again,neither did he reply to the message I sent him. He also refused picking her calls. Each time I went to school,I would search around to know if I would see him or his car. I seriously wanted to apologise to him but he seemed to have disappeared from school. Two weeks later,on our way to the cab stand,we heard the horn of a car behind us. We shifted to let the car pass but it stopped right beside us. It was a red sienna. He wind down the screen of the passenger window and we both opened our mouth in shock. Franca: Jesus,Tobechukwu where have you being? She asked moving closer to the car. Tobe: Around but busy with stuffs. Franca: That you refused to pick my calls or call back? Tobe its not fair o. Tobe: I'm sorry. I went closer to the car and greeted him. Me: Good day Tobe. Tobe: Good day too. How was lectures? Me: Fine. I . . . . Tobe: Franca,you look good. I'm sure that dude is really taking care of you. Franca laughed,not noticing how bad I feel already. Franca: Of course. Where are you going? Tobe: Ogui road. Want to go to a hotel there. I'm bored and want to kill some time. Me: Not bad. Tomorrow is Friday and we both don't have lectures. What about coming over to the house so we can all spend sometime together. He looked at me like I had just puked on his shirt. Tobe: Franca dear, I'll call you later okay. I need to run along now. We watched him drive off. Franca held me close as we waited for a cab. I had never being humiliated that way. I fell ill that afternoon. I cried my eyes out. Franca tried her best to make me better,from getting drugs to dabbing my face with a towel and water but none of them worked as I wouldn't take anything or stop crying. I finally got tired of crying and slept off. The banging in my head woke me up. I tried to move and noticed my right hand was held up to something. I slowly opened my eyes. Tobe was seated on the bed with my hand in both his hands. Tears ran down my face as I realised I was alone with him in my room. Tobe: Baby,I'm sorry. I'm not supposed to treat you the way I did. Forgive me please. I couldn't speak as the tears had formed a gallop in my throat. Tobe: I would have just replied your text or called back but I don't know why my pride took control of me. Baby please forgive me. I cleared my throat and asked for water. He opened the fridge and brought out a satchet water. He helped me raise my head and I drank thirstily . Me: Thank you. He put the water away and returned to his position. Me: Tobe,I'm really sorry for the way I spoke to you the other day. You were so gentle towards me but I blew everything. I know I pushed you to act the way you did. I'm really sorry. Forgive me. Tobe: It's okay. But look now,you're sick. Me: I'll be fine by morning once you've forgiven me. He leaned in and pecked my forehead. Me: Where is Franca? Tobe: She got a call from someone and promised to return soon. Me: Someone? She didn't tell you a name? Tobe: She did but I've forgotten. Its being like two hours since she left. Me: Is it Charles? Tobe: Yes! Charles. I nodded slightly and he gave me a smile. Tobe: So what will you like to eat tonight? Me: I'm not hungry. Tobe; Don't give me that. Franca said you've not taken anything. I'll go out now and buy whatever it is you want so just name it. I looked at the wall clock and it was some minutes past seven. Me: Anything you buy is okay by me so long as ice cream is included. Tobe: Hmmm. Strawberry right? Me: Yes. Tobe: Go take your bath and wait for me,I'll be right back. He gave me a peck and left the room while I carried my weak self into the bathroom. He came back sooner than I expected. He had fried rice from Mr. Biggs,suya and ice cream. I was almost done eating when Franca came back with Charles. We chatted for a while before Charles and Tobe left,promising to return the next day. Good night all. I don't know if I'm doing well or not. |
I had just stepped out from the lecture hall after spending three hours listening to a man who finds interest in talking about himself than teaching his students. I ransacked my handbag for my phone,I found it and dialled my bestfriend's number. She picked it on the second ring,I told her where I was and she asked that I wait for her. I was about moving to a shade when someone bumped into me. I almost screamed out of frustration. Tobe: Sorry dear. I didn't mean to do that. Me: Whatever. Just look where you're going. Tobe: Shuuu! I just said sorry. I gave him my worst stare and he shook his head. Tobe: I'm sorry okay. My name is Tobe. Me: Pamela. Tobe: You from this department? Me: Yes. I saw my friend walking towards us so I left him without another word. Franca: Babe,you look like you'll die this minute. Me: Why won't I die? I'm still complaining about the pain in my behind,then,this stupid guy bumped into me only to start introducing himself. Franca laughed out loud as we started walking. She was my best friend from home,we are actually childhood friends but she was a year older than me. We were both students of Enugu State University of Technology. She was studying computer science while I studied business management. We were both in our first years in school and also roommates. Me: Its not funny biko. Franca: Oya sorry nau. Let's go and eat. Me: Did you cook before we left the house this morning? Franca: No,I didn't but I didn't mean going to the house. We can go to thrillers or any fast food. Me: Thrillers will do. We stopped a cab and rode to thrillers. The place was crowded because lectures just ended for the day and everyone wanted to eat good food plus it was still the second week of the second semester so students still had there pockets filled with money. We went to the counter and ordered for our meals and pleaded with a waiter to bring them to our table. I ordered for egusi and semolina while Franca ordered for moi moi and salad. We were already deep into our meal when I felt I was being watched. I looked up immediately to see the guy who had earlier bumped into me. I gave him a cold stare and instead of looking away,he started walking towards our table. I quickly alerted Franca who was backing him. He majestically walked to our table,pulled a chair beside Franca and sat down. Tobe: Hello beautiful. He said soothingly to Franca who smiled shyly exposing her gap teeth. Franca: Good day. Tobe: Same to you as well. Hope you don't mind me joining you? What the hell! You're already seating down and you're asking for permission. What useless guts. I screamed in my head. Franca; Not at all. Tobe: My name is Tobechukwu,I'm a fourth year student of Chemical Engineering. Franca: Wow. I'm Franca,computer science,100 level. I pretended to be so engrossed on my meal whereas I was busy checking him out and also having the urge to introduce myself to him. He was tall,chocolate in complexion,had side burns(what we call side jars this days) that were sexy. His nose were pointed and he had this deep baritone voice. His hair style was more of Mohawk but was looking different. His dress sense was also amazing. Tobe: Where do you stay,inside the dormitory or off campus? Franca: Oh! Forgive my manners. Meet my roommate and best friend,Pamela. We stay off camp. The quick introduction brought me back to my senses. I looked at Mr. Bumper and his eyes were all over me. I looked away and continued eating. Tobe: Did she tell you someone bumped into her some moments ago? Franca started laughing again. Franca: Was that you? Tobe: Yes miss. I apologized but she gave me attitude. Franca: That's what hunger can do to someone. I washed my hands and wiped my lips with a serviette. Me: Babe,I'm leaving. I said,clutching my handbag and standing up. She was surprised. Franca: But I'm not done with my meal. Me: You . . . . Tobe; Its okay. Let me get you something to take away,then I'll drive you girls to your lodge. Franca: That's very kind of you. Thank you. Tobe gave me a wink and walked away. Me: I'm not going anywhere with him. Franca: Babe calm down. He doesn't mean any harm. Me: Just come home when you're done here. I left the eatery and as soon as I walked outside,I started regretting my action because the sun was very hot and merciless. I found a tricycle,told the driver the name of my lodge and in the next minute,I was on my way to ESBS,NTA hostel. |
I'm feeling this!
He's been giving you pecks upandan. You've fallen for him already
nice write up though....
