EPISODE 1
Tears ran down my cheek as the event of what happened yesterday kept
flashing back to my memory. I can't believe that I was raped, my
virginity? I have succeeded in keeping my virginity for the past
25years.
I am Olanrewaju Ifeoluwa the first child of Mr and Mrs
Olarenwaju. I lost my mother at the age of 16 and we are left with our
dad and my 2 other sibling.
Things have not been going well since the death of my mum.
She died of Tuberculosis (TB), so people do run away from I and my
siblings because the TB story do scare them.
My dad remarried two months after my mum's death leaving the myself and my siblings hopeless.
My sibling's responsibilities were on me so much that i had
to drop out of school. I was in SSS 3 and i had to do some menial jobs
like working in a soap factory at Fatai Atere road,Lagos, cleaning the
floor in PZ cusson company also just for the survival of I and my
siblings.
My immediate younger sister was 13years while our younger
brother born was 8years old. My sister Tofunmi had to drop out of
school, she worked as a sales girl in a boutique because we didn't want
our junior brother to suffer. We wanted him to further his education and
he was so young.
After my dad remarried, his wife treated us like we were
slaves, I had to save some money to rent a small room at Mushin Olosha
for the three of us to manage.
On the long run, Edwin who is a cultist kept on disturbing
me to be his girlfriend but I declined his request because I didn't want
to have anything to do with a cultist but I didn't know that I was
getting into trouble.
On my way back from work around 10pm
"O lord, I feel lost, I feel dejected WHY ME? as I want to write down
my story, I feel there is no hope, I need help, I need someone by my
side, I need peace, is it a crime not to have a mother? Why did all my
relatives, friends most especially my dad forget I and my siblings?"Life
is not fair. My questions are rhetorical, no one to answer me.
Wanting to write this incident makes me feel broken, I feel
shattered, my sister Tofunmi who is now 22 kept on saying " Ife, please
forget about this, let's go to the Hospital so that you can have a
checkup, you know we still have to move on, this is not the end".
On the other side, Shina who is now 17yearw old looked at me with tears, he kept on talking about revenge.
"Shut up, Shina, don't even go near Edwin, don't try to move near him or any of his gang, don't you know he's a cultist?".
Tofunmi scolded him while I just stared at my wet diary.
I haven't written anything, my hands can't move, I don't even have any appetite, Edwin has spoilt my life o
" Sister Ife, please let us go to the hospital ".Tofunmi broke the silence in the room.
'For what'? I replied angrily.
We are not sure if all these guys have any disease, ehn, please I don't want you to have any disease". Tofunmi said crying.
"Sister Mi" as Shina will always call me, it is true let's do what sis Tofunmi said o.
I agreed even though I wasn't in my right sense,I don't
want any complications in my body again, I have to make sure that I'm
clean.
I closed my diary and dropped it under the pillow.
