The story continues :
Later in the evening, when my madam’s
husband came back from work, he called me
aside and asked me why I was crying in the
morning.
“Nothing sir,” I replied not wanting to betray
myself.
“Come on dear,” he urged on. “Your madam
is not here so be free and tell me what
happened.”
I kept silent for some seconds before I
replied.
“Madam flogged me with wire,” I revealed.
“And hid it under the bed.”
“Really?” He asked.
“Yes sir,” I replied. “Please let me finish up
with the plates,” I added.
“Ok,” he replied and left.
I finished washing the plate and went to
dispose off refuse for the day.
I didn’t go over to Chidimma’s compound to
call her like before so I came back early.
Then I proceeded to look after the little baby
as madam took her evening bath.
There was this way my madam’s husband
was looking at me that made me
uncomfortable but I pretended like I didn’t
notice.
I focused on the baby I was babysitting and
ignored him completely.
My madam soon finished taking her bath
and joined us in the sitting room.
She collected her baby from me and ordered
me into the kitchen.
I obeyed immediately and left the sitting
room.
Inside the kitchen I thought about my life.
There wasn’t any hope that I would go to
school and my madam and her husband
didn’t seem to be thinking in that direction.
Then I thought about my madam’s husband
and the way he had been looking at me
recently and wondered what exactly he had
in mind.
At fifteen, my b----t had developed to a
sizeable extent and my hips were innocently
rounded.
Could that be what the husband was staring
at? I couldn’t tell.
I sat in the kitchen till it was time to prepare
dinner then I set to work grinding, pounding
and cutting the necessary condiments
needed for the soup.
When I was done, I took over the baby while
my madam set to work.
Within 2hours, the soup was ready so she
and her family ate first before mine was
dished into one rubber plate and I ate
without any complaint or grudges.
I then proceeded to wash the dishes used in
preparing and serving the food before I
finally went to bed.
Around 1.00am midnight, my madam’s
husband sneaked into my room while I was
fast asleep and started touching me all over.
I woke up with a start, shocked and
surprised but he hushed me and begged me
to cooperate but I resisted and pleaded with
him not to force me.
Feeling angry and humiliated, he tiptoed out
of my room and went back to their master
bedroom…
Episode 13 coming soon, stay tuned.
