Chapter 3

The punishment

Granny continues

On getting to Elizabeth's house,she changed. I ran in before her and she locked the door taking the keys to her room. " Elizabeth,where is he? and why have you locked the door? We're supposed to hurry up to the hospital so your husband would be treated. Elizabeth laughed loudly and I was confused. Then she said;

" I knew you would be so daft , How could you even believe someone you've seen for a long time after a quarrel? Imagine..a friend who told you to forget you both had a relationship came to you and you ran after her . Wow...(claps) anyways I don't have to talk too much,you would see what is about to happen for yourself."

By this time,I was confused and already sweating. Suddenly I heard someone bounce out of the husband's bed.

And guess who it was? It was Desmond again. He pulled me and I tried to escape. He spat to my face and touched me something which I have no idea about but I noticed I became very weak and couldn't fight to escape.

Granny began to sob bitterly.

Desmond had sex with me ... And pushed me out hours later. I felt ashamed and disappointed because I trusted Elizabeth. I couldn't walk home we'll so I went through a narrow road. I wept bitterly when I got home because I was having my menstrual flow which I know Elizabeth knew, that's why she did this to me.

IS IT A CRIME TO BE OPENED TO YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE MEANT TO BE PERSONAL?

Months later, I was confirmed pregnant. So I visited Desmond to tell him the outcome of his evil deed because I had no one to share my pains with.

I had no friends because of the false history Elizabeth told me about the people. Desmond said excitedly" wow.... I'm now a father. Congratulations to us. welcome to your home" I wept home to take my belongings and victory . I packed in to Desmond's house because I had no one to cry to for help,there was no jobim the community,I had lost contact with my parents,I had no money on me to careter for myself,victory and Desmond's baby .I didn't bother thinking about my decision of moving to Desmond's place.
