"There is power mighty in the Blood" uncle Dimkpa even joined me in the singing..
Humble
me,I carried the water to the room and was asked to take it to the
adjoining bathroom
..and I obediently did..dropped the water and as I
turned to step out completely from the room, I was faced with a sight
that has been etched in ma brain since..ogidigba 1 of ekwereke kingdom!!
Eze gburugburu of all dynasties!!I saw the largest d**k,pe**s,the biggest
there is..its veins were jutting at me menacingly with a wink in their
eyes,licking their lips on the damage I was going to get..that organ is most
definitely an individual of itself because it had the 5 sense organs and even had
hands and feet!! I just stood numb like somone who was on the in the middle
of the road with a trailer coming at it with full speed but too shocked
to move..
"Chi, I want you to touch me", He sneered and in one split
millisecond,I didn't see the loving,playful uncle again..in its place was a
monster, a hideous,cruel,man-eater.
Remember I told you I was at his
hip level and so it was just at my eye level( at this point in the
storytelling, I have lost my penchant for sarcasm and fun because its very
emotional to me and its still scary for me even as I write now)
He
advanced closer to me blocking the only exit and using his outrageously
large d**k to stroke my cheek..it felt hooot! Not warm but scalding
hot!!
As he kept advancing,I kept shifting from him..I didn't utter a
word or shuffle my feet,I just looked down away from looking at what was
before me and away from looking at his eyes.
And then suddenly I let
out a painful scream while grabbing onto a large pumice stone I found
in the bathroom..my shout tore through the house and sometimes my scream
is a nightmare unto this day..I screamed at the top of my lungs and flung
myself on the floor..adrenaline pumping through my veins, eyes
bloodshot from crying and I kept hitting myself on the floor like I was possessed or having a seizure.
The whole scenario took him by
surprise and he quickly came down to the floor and attempted to close
mouth with his good hand trying to quieten me down and I hit his bad
hand with it..it almost became a struggle because he was no match for
me.
'What is happening here?' A voice from the door spoke and we both turned to it. My cousin.!!
I don't think I've ever felt relief like I felt as I saw her.
' Chi, why were you screaming?'
I
quietly stood up,too numb to speak, shaking vigorously like I was
drenched in a storm and walked out of the room on my wobbly feet while
she followed me out..
I went into our flat,had my bath and just went
to sleep and refused to talk to my cousin but I guess she had a hunch as
to what has transpired.
My mama taught me well..she thought me sex education without inhibition.
So
all that line where the abuser would warn the child not to tell an
older person else would be harmed didn't play out with me because as soon as
my mum came back,I ran straight into her arms and her warmth and wept.
Her arms felt like a solace I never wanted to leave and in tears I
narrated everything to her( without all the pun) and before I was done,
she was already crying harder than me.
She double-checked to make sure
the animal didn't hurt me and I assured her that I was okay. There
weren't phones then and my landlord wasn't staying with me so she wrote a
loooongggg letter to the landlord threatening to take legal action if he
does nothing and the very next day, my landlord was in the compound
pleading and even asked to compensate..I didn't see uncle Dimkpa in his
service again and didn't ask..
Even as I write this,I shudder at what would have happened if he had his way..I would have been marred for life..
Thank God for his grace!
hmmm, na wa o. forget that this happened a long time ago o,child molestation still very much exists!! sadly these affected children are not in the nature of opening up when things like this happen,hence keep living with the hurt all their lives! what seems to be the cause ? what is our role as youths and parents? have you had such experiences before that you've possibly overcome or trying to? please share. lets talk about it!!
If you have any experiences whatsoever to share with us in out IT HAPPENED TO ME section, please feel free to send us a mail to pumsalite@yahoo.co.uk Thanks, have a swell week ahead.
