MOLESTING HIS OWN BIOLOGICAL SISTER...

Nneka was to attend a burial ceremony along with Toyin that Saturday. Nneka left home very early to beat the traffic that normally builds up on Saturdays because of weddings and other events.

Nneka made her way back home because she forgot the gift she planned to present to Mrs Victoria, their friend who lost her father. On reaching home, Nneka was shocked to notice the central door to their house was locked. Why will Kassim and his sister Ope lock

themselves up less than an hour after she left home? Or have they both gone out? Non of them mentioned

any plan of an outing to her in the morning before she left the house. Nneka became curious why the door was locked but she remembered she had her own spare keys in her bag.

She quickly opened her bag and brought out her own bunch of keys and got the central door opened.

In a jiffy she was in their bedroom but no sign of Kassim in their bedroom. She headed to the guest room and what she saw left her in shocked and dumbfounded. Kassim, her own husband was molesting his own biological sister right in their house. The poor girl was struggling under him and begging him not to do it to her again. Nneka stood there for over a minute before her husband could realize she was around witnessing the whole cine right in front of her.

She felt like stabbing him to death but there was no any object Nneka could find around. When he realised she had been standing for sometimes watching them, he tried to put on his boxer as he begged her to understand that it was not what she think. What else could she possibly think, Nneka couldn't open her mouth to say anything, her lips were heavier than rock, her tears start rolling down just like a water fall u could possibly think and her tears were ticker than usual. She ran back to our bedroom and picked few of her things and ran out of the building. Kassim didn't stop her because of fear of what she could do to him if dears try to approach her.

She headed straight to her friend place Toyin and Toyin at the order hand was angry Nneka came late. Toyin noticed Nneka didn't reply everything

she said and Toyin den came out from her room to check why she was mute. "What are you doing with a traveling luggage bag in my house? Are you traveling or something?" She asked looking at Nneka's face, then she realized Nneka was weeping and subbing at the same time. She came close and hugged her to her chest, "what happened Nneka?" She asked me calmly.

Then a battle arose in Nneka's mind on what to tell Toyin her dearest friend. "Toyin can't withstand the bad news but what will I tell her if I don't tell her the truth?" Toyin will surely get Kassim arrested if she knows the truth". While Nneka laid on her chest her mind traveled so far planning suitable lie she will tell her dearest friend.

"You know I am your friend and you can confide in me, tell me what happened", Toyin begged Nneka. Nneka doesn't want to tell Toyin right away, so she said in a whisper that she wants to sleep, that she wants to be left alone for some time, Nneka pleaded with Toyin.

Toyin walked her to her children's room and helped her to the bed. Toyin looked around the room and removed every harmful objects that she could use in harming herself and went away with them. Ten minutes later she came to check on her but she was still awake sobbing.

Toyin peeped and whispered, "don't kill yourself, I am here for you". That day they couldn't go for that burial

ceremony again. She began to connect the happenings since Ope came to their house. How she was lively and became moody suddenly. The statement she over heard from Ope " brother, so you have not stopped this evil", the hostility, the isolation etc.

Was this the evil Ope was referring to that day? Was she hostile to her brother because he has done this to her before? Why was she locking herself up even when we were at home? Why was my mother-in-law always calling to ask after Ope almost everyday since she came? These thoughts began to tear Nneka's head apart. She was practically losing her mind and she know it's time to confide in Toyin before she run mad.

Why should she even leave the house without addressing this evil and abomination committed by her husband? I will go back and face Kassim point blank, let him explain to me what just happened now. I wished all these were dreams. But I need a witness, I will go with Toyin, I made up my mind. At about 4pm she called Toyin, "dress up, we are going to my house together", she said. Within five minutes Toyin was ready. Nneka left her things in her house because she knew she will come back. Nneka can't sleep under the same roof with the beast she her husband. The journey to the revelation to the abomination that caged her marriage for ten years has just began.
