episode 17
bidemi: tumi he is here use the opportunity to tell him
me; ok! (i said as i left the room and went outside there
and i saw david there standing beside his car and he
was pressing something in his phone but he soon look
up and smiled to me)
david: i thought you did not want to see me
me; i am sorry
david; that’s ok, i saw your message and that’s why i
came, is he still here? (he asked making me to
remember that i had texted him when daniel came)
me; no he isnt but (i must tell him now no other time
will be the best) david i want to speak to you concerning
something very important (i said as he looked at me and
i could tell that he saw the fear in my eyes)
david: ok then lets go into the car ( he said as we both
got into the car, after we both sat i turned and faced
him) so what is it? (he asked as he searched my eyes)
me: david i have something to tell you about my past (i
said)
david: your past
me: yes! (i said as my heartbeat increased)
david: go ahead then tumi
me; david i have being lying to you concerning my past,
i am not who you think i am (i said as he listened with
rapt attention) i never knew my parents david, so it was
a lie when i told you that my parents died when i was
little, because i never met them, i do not know anything
about them (i paused to see his reaction but he
remained adapt ) i was raised by a brothel owner (as i
said that he raised an eyebrow and that was his only
reaction) she was mama d, i lived with her but when i
was thirteen her only son raped me (i said as he turned
to me with two shocked eyes and tears lowing began to
drop down my eyes, i expected him to say something
but he didn’t and so i decided to continue) when i
reported him to his mother she told me that he had only
opened me up and that i was ready to join the other girl
and that day i became a child s-x worker (i said as i
stopped to catch my breath and i could see that david’s
eyes were also teary but he did not react to this but just
looked to the front) i began sleeping with men at the age
of thirteen, with so many men, but at the age of 18
that’s when i decided to leave the brothel because i did
not want to continue living that live (tears were now
pouring freely down my face but david still showed no
reaction or emotion) and that day that you met me was
when i left abeokuta and came to lagos.
david: why did you keep all that from me
me; i did not know how to tell you david, i was scared
that i might lose
david; you know how much i hate liars (he said and he
turned to face me) i told you about this tumi, i trusted
you
me: am sorry david, please forgive me (i pleaded amidst
crying)
david: why are you just telling me this
me: i wanted to tell you since but then daniel found out
about it and told me that he will tell you, he said that he
will keep it a secret if i become his lover
david: so you decided to tell me because my brother
wanted to blackmail you (he shouted at me angrily, i
have never seen him this angry) so you would not have
told me, you are a faker.
me: no i am not david i love you
david: i trusted you and i never kept anything from you,
why will you this to me
me: i am really sorry david, i did not mean to keep it
from you
david; its like i dont even know you tumi (he said as he
looked down) get out of my car
me: what! (i said not actually believing if i heard him
right)
david: get out of my car
me: david i am sorry
david: out of my car (he screamed out still looking down
and i just opened the door of his car and got down and
almost immediately he started his car and drove out
speedily while i broke down in tears, i am sure that he
will never forgive me, i then began to wish that none of
my past should have happened to me, i sank down to
the ground still weeping until i felt someone’s hand on y
shoulder, i looked up and saw bidemi)
bidemi: it’s ok get up tumi you did the right thing
me: he told me to get out of his car, he was so angry
bidemi: he will need to get all this into him, how else did
you expect him to react
me: i don’t think he will ever forgive me, i lost the man i
love
bidemi; no have faith in God tumi
me: (nodded gently as she helped me up and we went
into the hostel)
