Azeequeen: She combed the entire house in search of her daughter all to no avail. She was about to call for a search team again- the second in a week when she found a weird looking envelope on the floor. She looked at the end product of a tree lying at the other edge of the centre table and moved closer to the object that was not there the day before. She hesitated before moving closer to the table. With a trembling body, she moved closer to the table to confirm whatever is in the envelope. She shuddered in fear as she remembered the Dele Giwa issue but shook the thoughts away from her mind. A man dies once. She picked up the envelope and discovered a letter was in it and it was addressed to her. She could recognise the handwriting anywhere in the whole world. It was written by the one person in the universe who could address her as 'Dear Mother'.
Dear Mother,
I did not mean to let it happen this way but it cannot be changed. Mother, I was just tired, I was fed up. I was tired of the look of pity everyone was giving me including you too, Mother. It was not my fault that a calamity befell me, was it? Everybody was sounding notes of warning to their children at my own detriment.
'Tola, if you do not want what happened to Yewande to happen you, listen to me...' Mother, does it really have to be like that? My heart was burdened, I felt my whole world crashing and no one seem to care. I felt guilty. I felt I was taking the whole blame for whatever happened.
If I had stayed, I would still be suffering in silence and nobody would know. I doubted it if everything was going to be same again. Words cannot really express how I feel. Is it the constant nightmares? The air passing through my legs every time to remind me of what happened? Or the throbbing pain accompanied with it? I hear those sounds everyday. I hear the voices now and then. I still the flicker of light being flashed through my face. I will never forget the chilly weather that night. The muffling of the dry leaves, the creaking sound of the animals, the grip, virtually everything. Everything. At times, what I needed was someone to tell me 'God loves you' but everyone was too immersed in self-pity that they did not know what always happen behind closed-doors.
I wish I could turn back the hands of time, then it would be the time I was coming to this world and I will tell God not to allow this kind of situation to happen to me. It was more than I could bear. The weight was too much and I was already suffocating. I couldn't keep up with the motion so I just gave up. I gave up everything since it is useless for me to stay anyways. The fact that I would not be around is irrelevant and I am certain that only few people will miss me. It is one thing to be void of emotions, it is something else to be feeling empty. The latter is what I feel. It feels like value has gone out of me and the worth is no longer there. I could not lift my head among my peers anymore even though I really wanted to. I, that was the cynosure of all eyes and prided myself among my contemporaries now became more or less a subject of ridicule. I, that was once the role model of the young ones now became the one parents are using as an example to them because of somebody else's pleasure. I cried and cried till tears could no longer come out so I watched till my whole heart was completely shattered into pieces.
Mother, just like I've said, I never wanted any of these to happen but probably it was destined to happen in that way. I am so sorry. Check the back of the banana tree at the backyard, you'd see my body there that's if the animals are not too fast. Please live a good life without me. Your daughter, Yewande.
Like a rabid dog, she ran to the backyard and true to her daughter's words, she found her lying helplessly on the ground. She prayed as she moved closer to the body that she should just be unconscious and not dead. She got there, knelt beside her, checked her pulse and she knew.
She knew she was gone.
Gone.
She felt her tears fall. 'What is a good life without you?' As if compliance with her thoughts, she felt her heart tighten and her breathing ceased and in a matter of seconds, she was gone too.
THE END.
To all victims of rape, may the Lord heal your broken heart completely. Amen
#Saynotorape
Alternate Ending. Azeequeen sorry I had to do this, the story is too interesting to just end like that ********************************************************** Mother, just like I've said, I never wanted any of these to happen but probably it was destined to happen in that way. I am so sorry. By the time you have finished reading this letter, I would be somewhere far away, I just had to leave mum, I need to start a new life. Please live a good life without me. Your daughter, Yewande. Like a rabid dog, she ran to her room she had packed all her luggage, Truly, She knew she was gone. Gone for good, she broke down in tears " Oh My Daughter"! * Continuation Plot * She travelled Abroad to start a New Life, she couldn't fall in love until she met Prince Charming, would she let go of her past ? FIND OUT !!!!!! . |
