In the morning, the man Chiamaka was suppose to have slept with, came to the bar and started unleashing out his anger. He showed Madam Sexy Queen the injuries Chiamaka gave him and that made her give Chiamaka a dead stare. Madam Sexy Queen had a way to please the man and promised to deal with Chiamaka.
After the man drank some bottles of beer for free and left, Madam Sexy Queen called Chiamaka and told that she would go back to the man's hotel or will be thrown out. Chiamaka begged but it fell on deaf ears and her tears we're considered what an African man would call, 'crocodile tears'. Her things were thrown outside and she was dragged out to the road.
Carrying her belongings, she headed for the incomplete building she stayed at before but it has been completed and a gate too was fixed. Chiamaka began to wonder if she should go back and accept the consequences, but she had promised herself to give up her virginity to the man who deserve it and that would be her husband or her lover for life, and not to a man she knew nothing about.
Chiamaka was back to square one! She started to wonder, street by street, in search of an incomplete building but the ones she saw was occupied.
Soon as the days went by, Chiamaka resumed her hawking business and also found an empty space to sleep. One evening after hawking, Chiamaka entered her incomplete building to sleep; she had returned very late, but Lagos was more awake at night, so the noises from clubs were heard.
A group of bad hoodlums followed her and just when she layer down to sleep, she got surrounded and was threatened with a gun. They began to beat her had until she got so weak to defend herself. She felt so dizzy! The first boy tore her gown and pant, then made his way to her private area. He was the one who disvirgined her! While he kept moving roughly, he played with her bazoom, sucking and dragging it like a hungry baby. Chiamaka cried heartily and was so helpless that her tears dropped to the ground like a spoilt tap.
The others three boys raped her too! And when Chiamaka fainted, they ran away, thinking she was dead. An hour later she woke up, on seeing her tore clothes and bloody thighs, she knew it was not a dream. Her whole body was on pains and to move was difficult. She began to curse them and tried to call for help but lost her voice. She wished for death but she had to fight on to keep her lineage, and not long, she fell asleep again!
Chiamaka woke up in the morning by 6am, then she had gained some energy. So she cleaned herself up and changed her clothes. The pains between her legs was unbearable but she still tried to help herself. And a taxi man who saw her, took her to a clinic for free. She was grateful and continued to thank the man. With the little money she had gathered for herself, she bought snacks to eat, paid for the drugs and the doctor present at the clinic, treated her for free. She was soon discharged by the doctor, to avoid the read of hospital bills.
Chiamaka stopped hawking and stayed in the incomplete building to rest well. She was only seen at noon by the road side, begging for money and once she had enough, she would go back to sleep.
As days turned to weeks, Chiamaka lacked food to eat as the money she gained from begging wasn't feeding her well. So she decided to walk around, for food. She entered a joint and took a plate of food someone remained; the owner of the joint chased her away but some customers begged on her behave.
After Chiamaka was done eating to her satisfaction, the owner of the joint called her to assist him in somethings. She was excited, because he might have called her to give her a work. The owner of the joint asked his other workers to take care of the customers. He took Chiamaka to a room, she looked around and it looked like the store room. He locked the door behind! He brought out a knife and threatened Chiamaka to lie on the ground; Chiamaka eyes widened as the man kept threatening. She looked round for weapon but the man was smarter, as he dragged and hit her hard against the wall.
Chiamaka laid down and watched as a man old enough to be her father, forced himself on her. She began to hate life and wish to be dead. All men wanted from her was her body, like she was a toy.
" So you think, you can eat my food for free" He stammered while he kept moving.
There she laid on the floor, a victim of rape twice, just because she wished to live and fight for her future.
The man finished with her and threw her out through the back door. " Sweet girl, if I see you near my joint again. You will become my slave! Leave here before I change my mind!" the man threatened but Chiamaka was too weak to run. The pains were back and she had blood stains too. She crushed her life and wished to die.
Due to fear of the unknown, she started picking food from the dustbin in order to survive. One night a car drove by the waste side and a wealthy man walked out of his car, went up to a mad woman that stayed at the other end of where she stayed. She saw him having sex with her and feared for herself. Men also slept with mad people? What's the world turning to?
A weeks later, Chiamaka noticed she had not seen her period. She was pregnant, no doubt but who could be the father? Was it from her first or second rape?
Now she would bring a child to join in her suffer, what a life, she cried to herself.
