The story continues :
“Jesus!” The woman screamed and my
madam froze with shock.
My madam wasn’t facing the door so she
hadn’t seen the woman enter and therefore
didn’t know that the woman had seen her
flogging me with a long piece of wire so she
was shocked by the sudden and unfamiliar
voice.
“I’m gonna report this to the Human Rights
Commission!” The woman barked with
foreign accent and stormed out of the
house.
My madam stood rooted to the spot for
some minutes visibly shaken.
She didn’t know whether to go after the
white woman that just stormed out of the
house or to continue flogging me from
where she stopped.
She stood still totally confused.
I stood still too not wanting to infuriate her
with any sudden or unplanned movement.
She turned abruptly and walked into her
room.
Around 3pm in the afternoon, the white
woman returned with some police officers to
arrest my madam.
My madam called me and asked me to look
after the house that she was going to be
back in a jiffy.
The woman examined my hands and legs
and noted the scars all over.
Then she left with my madam and the
police…
My madam came back later in the night with
her husband.
I guess her husband must have bailed her
that evening from police custody.
That night, I overheard her husband talking
to her about the way she treated me.
He advised her to take things easy with me
and stop attracting public eyes into his
family.
My madam kept silent and uttered no word.
She reduced her aggression towards me and
took things easy with me.
But then her change of attitude was not to
last very long and the next day soon marked
her return to aggression and brutality…
Catch you tomorrow on episode 11.
