DEAR MUM,
I know you wouldn't believe all I'm going to say but I plead with you in God's Name to believe every of my words for they are true and real...
Do you remember that that year? Precisely on the 13th day of the second month...
I came home from school and you were busy in the kitchen preparing daddy's meal so you can meet up for the community women's meeting at mama Kofo's house (Do you remember now?)...
I told you I wanted to have personal talk with you then (remember?) but you simply laughed and asked me to say it there because you are very busy.
If you could remember vividly, I told you not to worry and walked into my room quietly...
The following day was 14th of February and I told you I wanted to go and visit my classmate in town...
Though you saw me dressed in that body revealing clothes yet you didn't say anything rather than your normal phrase "you children of nowadays sa..."( How I wished you had said more or even do something)
You were so busy with your discussion with our neighbor's second wife who came to discuss her rival's daughter's case with you...
You counselled her on how to be a good mother to her step-daughter while you never had time for me...(How I wished you were dead too like our neighbour's first wife so that I could have a step mother like aunt Cecil who would do anything to ensure I was properly raised...)
I wished you had stopped to search my bag that day (I had extra clothes and make-up kit etc. in the bag) ...π’
I wished you had cautioned me π’
I wished you had had time for me like aunt Cecil had for Fortress...
I saw her with her step -daughter eating Ice-cream that afternoon at the City Fair Mall while I was with my friends, waiting at the mall for the vehicle that took us to the Beach Resort where we did all manner of things togetherπ
Mum, it's been years now...
And I'm reaping the results of that yearπ’
Mum, do you know that the events of that single day launched me into a terrible sexual prison...π
I never knew I was in for trouble when I started having string urge for sex whenever I see a male...π’
It became worse that I started begging my mates to sleep with me whenever the urge comesπ
I did several abortion and that never stopped me from the path I ignorantly chose that unforgettable 14th day of February...π
I thought I was enjoying myself but I never knew I was carving a live coffin for myself...π
Mum, I laughed when I saw you on TV yesterday, speaking to young girls on sexual purity...
I wished you had said half of those words to me...π
It wouldn't have caused you anything to take me out for a cup of ice cream back then, you and I, one- on -one...π€¦♀
I would have cherished that moment for lifeππ
I know I'm inexcusable but mum, you didn't help me either...π
I decided not to come home all these years even after my NYSC since I knew I may one day force my only brother to bedπππ
I'm not asking you to pity me, I only write to tell you what your insensitivity has caused me...π’
I plead with you to please raise my little sister well...π
Today is another February 14th...
Please don't ask where I am...πππ
(at least I told you I'm working and I sent you a monthly allowance for your upkeep and you have never for once asked about the nature of my work...)
Let me stop here for I know you may have another community meeting or...
Greet my Brandy and Tessy.
Tell them I love them both and wished I'm at home with them...
Please tell them I have chosen a path of destruction and I need help (if there's any...)πππππ
But beg them not to follow my example...
Please forgive me for not telling you all these yearsπ♀
I truly regretted every of my actions mum and I'm so sorryππππππ
I still love you mum and if I can change the hand of time, I would have chosen betterπππ
YOUR LOST DAUGHTER.
(To Be Continued...)
