TRUE STORY

PART 2

"...I felt so numb as we walked to his house without speaking a word to each other. It was just tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably.

I kept asking God so many questions, what did I do to deserve this? Why did he allow that happen to me? Why didn't he intervene with a thunder strike or something? Is that the reward for trying my best to please him?

I was lost in those numerous questions on my mind that I didn't even know when we got home.

I went into the bathroom to have a thorough bathe and as the water went down my body, I bursted into a loud cry.

My boyfriend started knocking on the door but I didn't open. I was even mad at him, perhaps if he didn't hesitate in giving those guys his phone and money, they would have let us go without any harm.

I spent more than an hour I'm the bathroom, when I came out I saw him drinking a bottle of The lords dry gin. I didn't speak to him, I quietly laid on the bed.

Each time I tried to shut my eyes, I kept seeing a replay of everything that happened that night and sleep was very far away from me.

After about an hour, he came to lie on the bed and the next thing I felt was his hands caressing my b.o.o.bs.

I screamed in fear and jumped out of the bed and to my greatest surprise he was having an erection. He was drunk too and started begging me to sleep with him.

I couldn't process that level of m.adness from him, I just picked my purse to leave and he said "shey, this is what I've been begging you for and you were claiming sister Mary, are you still a virgin now? What again is your excuse?"

I couldn't believe those words actually came out of the same lips of a man that has been professing love to me. Those words pierced me like an arrow and hot tears rushed out of my eyes.

I just walked out and shut the door behind me. I just sat on the stairs and waited till it was bright enough for me to go home. He didn't come after me, I only heard him locking his door.

I trekked home as soon it was morning, my mom asked why I didn't come home last night and my phone has been off. She told me of a dream she had about me that night which she interpreted as my life being in danger.

Her dream was quite accurate but I told her that I lost my phone at the event and I slept at my girlfriend's place cos the event ended so late. I already knew what her reaction would be if i told her what actually happened.

We resumed school the next week and I went back to my hostel. I hated God so much, stopped going to church, and even dived into a new relationship with anger. I was done with the good girl life since God wasn't kind enough to protect me..."
