MY ABUSE
At the age of 8,i lost my mum to the cold hands of death,it felt like the whole world was crumbling down on me ,but dad was there as my superman.Its been a year now but I just couldn't get my mind off my mother ,oh! How the wind of death blew through our home and took my beloved mum away ,may her gentle soul rest in peace,Amen!.Dad decided to take in a new wife,at first I was happy with the idea but I never knew it was the beginning of my nightmare. The wedding day had come and gone ,daddy started having issues in his marriage ,they would both quarrel before they leave for work and continued when they returned ,I was left puzzled about their non stop argument ,until I finally overheard them fighting in their bedroom one afternoon because of me,it was so bad that she threatened to leave my dad if he does not send me out of the house ,I was confused ,why does she want me out of the house ,have I not been a hood child? This was the question I left for myself to answer.Two days went away and daddy never said anything about it but on the third day,I came back from school looking so tired and hungry and those two disappeared when I saw my uncle ,my dad and my step mum in the sitting room,I knew something was wrong until I looked beside the big couch in the sitting room and saw my things neatly arranged,indeed my end was near ,daddy! What is happening here? Why are my things pack.....and before I could finish my statement ,my step mum cut in and said;you are going to be staying with your uncle from now henceforth, me and your dad are about to start our own family and I don't want any third party in my home!,,I ignored her and went straight to my dad ,knelt before him with my eyes as a falling spring of water,I begged him and gave all promises I knew as a child but he ignored me and told my uncle to come take me away ,those words were like the sound of a volcano eruption, my uncle came and reached out to me,I tried to pull myself away from him,but he was so strong what could a 9 year old child actually do to a 30yrs old man??,So I sheepishly went along with him as I made regrets of the day I lost my mum;it wasn't too long before we got to my uncles house and his 28yrs old wife welcomed me with a warm hug,but I never felt welcomed .She took me straight to my room,the room was so big and beautiful, it was decorated with lovely ready bears and picture frames,with the room painted pink and white a normal girl child's room.She dropped my things in the room and told me to feel comfortable, I thanked her and locked the door after her;I sank on my bed and thought of my dad who just have me out and my mum who couldn't do anything to help me ,this took me to the next phase of my crying section and to my deep sleep.I woke up in the middle of the night and the sound of my rumbling stomach was all I could hear, I didn't want to disturb anybody so I went straight to the kitchen to see what I could get,the kitchen was empty,something took my mind to the refrigerator and I remembered I saw one in the living room, so I went straight to the dinning,I heard voices coming from the sitting room but I wasn't so sure, so I moved closer and found my uncle watching the TV but his hands were inside his trousers and he was sweating profusely, I turned to the TV and saw what he was watching so I left the sitting room immediately because mummy said it is not good to watch any movie where you see just naked people,so I returned back to my room and listened to the sound of my rumbling stomach until I slept off.........
