"All For You" By Rejoice Igbinovia Aluyi (Chapter 2)

 

.......Walking to School With Mother, i thought i still have a chance to tell her all i wanted,mother,there is the teacher in my  school who takes us for lectures for our forth coming exams,he is taking only me for extra lectures because i am very poor in English language,but i..i...i...i,you see your life,what they will teach your mates you wont understand,until you are thought over and over and over,why cant you be smart in your studies,see i am not paying for any other extra nonsense,mom said angrily,mummy its free,the uncle is doing it for free,i said. Really,ah God will bless that teacher for me,he is so nice,if you like,madam,don't concentrate.

But mother,i don't want the extra lectures,i dont like the teacher and what his's doingingggggg,shut up your mouth,you have someone teaching you for free to help that head of yours and you are saying you wont,ah you are not okay.....

Soon we arrived school,and of all teachers,uncle peter was the one at the gate,madam good morning he greeted,good morning uncle,madam i have been longing to have a word with you,you see,your daughter isn't doing well academically,and i took it upon myself to organise extra class for her,but unfortunately she refuses to attend,and their exam is around the corner,uncle thank you so much,i am very grateful, from hence forth,she will not try it,she will be in attendance madam, i don't want to hear you weren't in that class,else,i will so flog you eheeen .mom said to me and left.

When mother walked away,i was about leaving when he called me back,what was the meaning of what happened yesterday,why did you run home like that,he asked,nothing sir,i thought there was no lectures,because you weren't teaching. now listen,if you try that rubbish again,i will make sure i deal with you. yes sir,i said and went to my class,until assembly time...

After school it was time for our extra class,my heart was racing fast,he thought me well and didn't even try to touch me,i went home feeling happy,the lessons continued for a while and uncle peter didn't touch me ,i had relaxed and even trusted him thinking he had a genuine interest for my studies until one day.

Why do you always refused my adult play,he had continued, see relax,i don't bit,you are going to like it,i promise,he started touching my body in am unfamiliar and uncomfortable manner,i didn't like it,i asked him to stop,but he didn't,the more i asked him to stop,the more he continued,soon he removed my skirt,and defiled me. it was a bitter experience. Calm down,calm down D,i know it may hurt a little,but see,you are going to like it the second and every other time.

I went home later after the pain was a little relived. Mother came later as always,Dorcas lets start cooking, oya get up,i don't know why you are sleeping at this time,she said. mummy i am not feeling well,i said. whats wrong with you ?, you were fine this morning,how come you are suddenly sick this evening,she asked,mummy uncle Peter hurt me ,i have been feeling pain all over my body since he played that adult play with me,i said. what play ? What play are you talking about,Mother asked curiously,uncle peter played with my breast and my bumbum, he must have injured me because blood came out of my body,it hurts and still hurt.Ijesu,ijesu ijesu, she shouted in so much pain,when did this start,how long as it been  going on.? She asked. He wanted me to play the adult game with him some time ago,but i ran home. I tried telling you and dad,i told you two that i wanted to tell you something,but non of you gave me time. i said crying in pain..

Dorcas,do you need a special time to tell something as serious as this,you could easily have said it without seeking a peculiar audience and hearing that would certainly get my attention.   

i know i have been busy,so is your daddy,but my child we leave this house early and return late not because we want to,not because we enjoy the stress,but my child  we do that "All For You",you and your brothers are the reasons we work so hard,to give you a better life,to be able to take care of you,the situation of our country is bad,we need to work hard for you,why why didn't you tell me,she asked in tears,oh Jesus my Child,i am so sorry,she held me close to herself,she couldn't do anything that evening,she waited for father to come home,and narrated all that had happened,  father was so furious,he would have beheaded uncle peter had be seem him that moment. 

My parent took me to the hospital for check up and it was proven that indeed i had been DEFILED and MY INNOCENCE STOLEN.
