INTO THE WORLD.
Still sobbing silently,Mr.Cart spread my legs and arms wide, lick up my cheeks and ready to pull off my nighty wear.
"I have to fight this...I am nobody
trying to be somebody, my failure
will stop here"
...these words continued running within me...
Looking at the knife Mr.Cart left on the side of the bed,I tried reaching for it, Mr.Cart was quick to snatch it away, but I persisted and struggled with him, this was when I let out a loud thunderous shout.
Now I know,there must be rescuer, but Mr.Cart was strong enough to hold me down.Eventually I screamed painfully.
" My hand! Aaaaah! Somebody help!"
Mrs.Cart ran into the room , seeing the husband naked and seeing me undressed.
"Please ma! I didn't do it ... I, I, I,..."
I tried explaining to her thinking she will do something to stop the bleeding, she walked straight to where I packed my luggages, dragged me out of the house naked into the dark.
"You son of a bitch! wolf in sheep's
clothing! devil's agent!... Get out of
this house!"
Mrs.Cart wasn't ready to hear me out,there was no sight of Mr.Cart again.I was thrown into the mud with my luggages as she shut the door against me.
The truth is that,I knew no one , never a side chick, nor a familiar face.I had to pick my properties all up,search it and found a wear,match under the angry sky into scary unfamiliar world,soon the sky unleashed it's anger,I tirelessly walked myself into a dark cemented building, which accepted me and let me lie in it.
"Hei girl!...a voice said
Looking by my side is an old tattered man, sitting with his elbow on his knees.
"Why are you here?... You should
be at home with your wife and
kids"...I asked.
" Nah! nah! nah!...he flips his hair.
" The question should be asked by
me to you...ooh! I see,is that a
wound?...he asked, pointing and
looking at my hand.
Silence was the answer I gave to him.
" Don't think you can live alone
in the unmatched world and you
can't wrestle against the wrestlers
so weak....come! let me give you
a hand...he said.
"Aaaaahhh!..I shouted in pain as he
uses a piece of wrapper to tie round the wounded part.
" Ooh girl!... your journey has not yet
started,such a sweet brave girl you
are".
Still moaning in pain,I can't trust him,I crawled some distance away from him.
" Stubborn child!... you can rest
your head on the wall, but believe
me, your head will never agree
with you tomorrow"...he stated.
"Such old man"...I muttered laying
my head on the floor.
***********************************
"Anita! Anita! wake up!, the
morning sun calls for you"
" Nikaaa! go away! Just go, tell
the sun........
"Who's Nika?
I woke up only to see the old man bent before me.
"It's just a dream"... I said.
"Tell me about it girl"... the old said, enthusiastically smiling at me.
"Is that dripping water into the
bucket"... I asked, trying to shut him off from knowing about me.
"Hahaha"...he laughed loudly.
"Go ! take your bath, you stink as
you taught I stink too.
My eyes widely opened when he said this.
"Who are you?...I asked.
"Who am I? you are really asking
who I am"...he repeated, crossing his legs on the old solfa seat he was sitting on. I couldn't imagine him ready to answer my questions,I walked down and carried the dripping water in the bucket to wash myself.
"Where are you going girl!...he
asked still resting on his solfa.
I turned and stared at him .
"Anywhere worth going"...I said, carrying my luggages and tying my arm again with a cloth.
"Make sure to pick someone of
your size out there"...he said.
"weird"...I uttered silently.
Strange me, walking into the pit of fate as I bowed my head to the ground and covering head with a cloth which led me into a health center.
"What do you want girl!...
A woman dressed in a white apparel having a stethoscope round her neck asked.
"I need treatment on my wound"
...I replied.
"Such a tender girl like you,who
made you suffer this?... she asked
"Nobody! I felled on a slippery
floor"...I lied.
"The bandage will keep it from
being licked up by the hungry
flies"... She said, disposing the
wools.
I have no penny and I think it's time for a plan, but how will I make away with this.
"Hei! Come back here, you haven't
paid a penny,stop there!...hei!" ...
she continues shouting.
Broke Anita couldn't turn back to give her a reply, I walked out adamantly through the door and made a run before she draws the passers attention.
Breathing in relieve,I couldn't believe I eventually made away with this, I've got my arm back again.
Trekking down the wriggling road,I kept watching the life display of people.
"Tell your dad, he's just an asshole"
... shouted a seller to a lady
purchasing from her.
"The flower smells nice,get it for
me"... said a teenage girl to her
chubby.
"It's too late mom, let's go back,
dad will leave you boneless
tonight"... the little boy dragged her mom as he plead her.
Life was so ecstatic and I need to find where I fit in.
"Catch her!...thief!...a voice shouted.
"She stole the bracelet!... another
voice shouted.
"Don't let her cross the road"...said
the next man.
A girl with a mask on her face runs across me with a polythene bag, followed by angry group of men chasing her.
"O father of wonders!... I said in astonishment as the girl jumped over a fence.
"Is this real!... She is a wonder girl,
I want to be like her"...
I admired her with my eyes wide opened.
