I felt pain, i cried the tears out of my eyes, i felt ashamed, then I stood up to see what was going on around me.
I saw a gun pointed to my head, i looked up, it was a tall dark skinned man with such a thick voice.
He shouted, "Did you enjoy it, bitch?" He said as he laughed with others.
I said to myself Oh No, I didn't see it coming this way, I've kept myself safe all this while or is this a dream?, I wept bitterly.
Then, one of the men came and hit me so hard on my face, i fell to the floor with my face up looking faintly at each of them, they look so happy as they kept laughing and shaking each other like they just won an award.
I asked myself "Did i just got raped!"
I tried standing up and out of anger and pain, I screamed seriously "How dare you do this to me, you all shall die i pray".
I struggled with myself and the hit the man with the gun on his face hard, his gun fell on the floor. Suddenly, i heard a gun shot, i felt pain right in my chest with blood gushing out, i fell on my knees.
I became weak and i said "This is it".
One out of the men shouted
"Why did you shoot her?", He punched the shooter in his face and they started fighting.
I was lying there between life and death, slowly getting unconscious and i prayed in my heart "God, i am not ready to die, i need to take care of my momma, I'm all she has left but if this is it, then so be it".
I closed my eyes and fell asleep. That was the last thing i remembered.
On waking up, i was scared and looking at my side i saw my mom, weeping like i was dead, i have never seen my mom cry that way since after my Dad and other siblings left us.
I held her hand and she raised her head up and looking at me, she smiled, partially excited she said "This is a miracle".
She called for the doctors, the doctor rushed in and looked surprised, like he's seeing a ghost. The doctor said "You're such a lucky one, we all thought you'd be gone forever, not everyone can survive what you survived".
I looked at myself weakly and i thought "Why am i lucky?".
My mom was smiling while tears was rolling down her cheek at the same time. I chuckled a little and slept off.
