The next morning, I woke up in so much
pain. My whole body was aching like I
was crushed by a truck. A few minutes
later, the same ladies who applied oil all
over my body the previous day came in
and started loosening the ropes I was
tied with. They held me up, and I
flinched the moment my legs touch the
floor because even standing was painful.
I went into the bathroom to have my bath
and when the water touched my vagina,
the pains I felt sent shock waves around
my body. I sat in the bathtub and cried. I
thought about my mum and I also
thought about sade and
what she had told me on my birthday
about life being a sea that takes us to
places both pleasant and unpleasant.
Where is sade now and what has
happened to her? All these thoughts
kept going through my head. An hour later,
I came out of the bathroom and the three
ladies were still in the room waiting for me.
They dressed me up and applied a perfect
make-up on my face then I was led outside.
We walked for a few minutes before we
walked into a very beautiful garden. I
never knew that such a garden could exist
here and while I was admiring the scenery,
I saw my tormentor Kamsy. He was sitting
in front of a table that had breakfast on it
and immediately I saw the breakfast, my
stomach rumbled embarrassingly. I was
so hungry that I felt I could eat a horse. I
was led to him, then he said "sit." I sat and
the ladies left. "How did you enjoy me
yesterday? I bet you enjoyed it because
I could hear you screaming for more."
When I heard these words from him, I
became confused because I couldn't
remember when or how I enjoyed the
sex, let alone, asking for more. "When
I ask you a question, you should reply."
After hearing him say that, I had to reply
truthfully, so I said sorry sir, but I- I didn't
enjoy it. "Oh! I see. I'll be back tonight to
make you enjoy it." After saying those
words, he left and instantly I lost my
appetite. I started eating a few minutes
later but couldn't taste anything. I didn't
even know what I was putting inside my
mouth because I wasn't paying attention.
I started thinking about my life. Of how I
went from rags to riches, and from riches
to slavery. I've always fantasized about
having sex, but I wanted to experience it
with Bobby, my school crush when I
become nineteen years old. Everyone in
school,nknew that Bobby was madly in
love with me. I love him too but I was
pretending not to be interested in him.
Now I am tainted and will never see him
again and also, my dreams of being a
gynecologist is dead. I was brought back
to reality when I felt someone trying to
pull something from my hand. I looked
down and realized I was biting on the
shell of an oyster.
