CYNTHIA^

I was so devastated and angry that I cried myself to sleep "why must it be me? of all the children in the world and of all the women in the world".

I said to myself crying at the same time I didn't know when I slept off but a loud noise and a loud continuous banging woke me up, I jumped out of bed, oh God who could it be at the late hour of this day, fear engrossed me and my heart panting non-stop.......

I don't have any friends around here I need help, I ran to my bed searching for my phone finally I saw it and carried it i dialed my mum's number she refused picking up and later sent me a message........

"Cynthia, it's late already and I'm in a middle of an important thing that can't wait so let's talk tomorrow"........

That was the message a good mother sent to her only child...

I read the message over and over and over again, tears welled up my eyes, what a world, some minutes later I tried the police number but it was too late because the robbers broke in already snatching the phone from me. "wetin you wan do?"

One of them asked me angrily. "No... Noo. nothi..ng" I Stammered "Nothing abi?" the second person asked scrutinizing me From my head to my toes I was so afraid and I wasn't comfortable with the way he stared at my body so I covered my boobs with my hands.......

The nightie I wore was so revealing and I only put on pants, at that moment I knew that my life has come to an end. "Guy this girl is a temptation", he voices out

"No even try am o", the other one said.

"Boy na only five minutes na I can't wait again", the other one said and dragged me down tearing my clothes to shreds. I begged him, cried, struggled and fight on my own God given ability but it was of no use because I finally was raped not by an ordinary person but a criminal........

I prevented boys, I stayed away from boys to protect myself and my virginity now it is gone, my virginity is gone I vow this day that I must find the person that did this to me no matter how many years it will take me I must find him..........

Because of my mom's obsession for money, power and men I have lost my self respect, my dignity and my pride as a woman........

I tried standing up but my body gave no response to me so I remained in that embarrassing position till morning, I struggled to crawl down to where my phone was thrown I called Linda minutes later she came over with her parents and I was rushed to the hospital.

The shock made them all speechless, no body knew what to say no body knows what to ask and nobody know what to answer, fresh tears fell of and rested on my cheeks, this is the beginning of my end because I don't find life pleasing anymore, right now I don't know where and how to start from I have know face to look at people not even the doctor.

Although I knew they were impressed and shocked a girl of my age was still a pure virgin in this 21st century when everything is happening......
