The story continues :
I concluded to tell her that I got to the
supermarket and couldn’t find the money
again which after looking for it everywhere I
couldn’t find it.
I knew the story may not go down well with
her but I had no other option.
There was no way I could tell her that I used
her money to buy Okpa
had to tell her somethingelse and face
whatever consequence that would emanate.
Madam was sitting in the sitting room with
her baby when I got home.
“Where is the soap?” She asked
immediately.
“Let me tell you what happened ma,” I
stammered nervously. “I lost the money on
the way ma so when I got to the
supermarket I couldn’t find it again ma.”
“You lost which money?” My madam
queried.
“The soap money ma,” I replied.
“You must be very stupid,” she barked.
“Come closer and open your mouth!”
I guess my madam had suspected rightly
that I used the money to buy something to
eat so she wanted to confirm or disprove
her suspicion.
With trembling legs I drew closer and opened
my mouth.
Madam lay her baby gently on the cushion
and smelt my mouth.
“Ohoo,” she exclaimed. “So you used my
money to buy Okpa?” She asked. “And you
had the audacity to lie to me that you lost
the money?”
Madam descended on me with all the fury
her muscles could muster.
When her hands started aching her, she
reached for her wire and continued.
I cried out in pain and agony but madam
continued undaunted.
A white woman living in the opposite
compound was driving by and overheard my
voice and stopped to check out what was
happening.
She was a lawyer and worked under one
Human Rights Commission.
Without knocking she swung our door open
and saw my madam red-handed flogging me
with a piece of wire…
