I was crying my eyes out when I saw my luggages outside the portal gate. My heart shattered into pieces as I kept knocking. Unfortunately,no one opened the gate.
I sprawled out on the floor pondering intensively on what to do. I had spent all the money given to me by that Kind man in the hospital.
I had no money to go back to the village and I couldn't look for a paid job cause my husband seized my CV and everything regarding my education.
Rain was falling heavily and I carried my luggages on my head and moved to the Bus stop –it was very far and I trekked for two hours before getting there.
"Oga, please help me out!,My husband pushed me out and I have no money to go back to the village" I begged an affluent man in his car,he was being held by the traffic.
The man drooled a saliva at me "Get out! you beggar" he said and drove out.
More tears emerged on my cheeks and the smell of the acidic saliva was fetid.
"Oh! God" I grumbled and sighed heavily.
" Young lady What are you doing on the rain?" A man asked.
I turned and saw a handsome man. He was dark skinned and his lips was pink. Truly,he was fascinating.
"Where are you heading?" He added.
"I am going to Aba and unfortunately I have no money,my husband pushed me out" I said with my mouth shaking like a leaf.
"I am going to owerri but I will pay your transport fare" He said and chuckled.
I knelt down instantly and started thanking him. He told me to stand up and he helped me pack my baggages in the boot.
I was happy as a flea in a doghouse. "God is indeed wonderful" I said in my mind.
I had kittens when I noticed that the man was at glancing as though he was lustful.
At 9:00pm,we reached owerri and the bus spoilt–It's tyres ran flat.
The driver tried as much as he could but the tyres was totally flat.
People came out of the bus and started looking for a cab to board and I was bated breath.
"Come and sleep in my house tonight, it's not too far from here." The man that paid my transport fare uttered.
At first,I didn't concur but later on,I decided to spend a night in his home.
Instantaneously,we boarded a tricycle which took us to his house.
When I got to his house,I kept looking at the long sofa and the humongous television set in his sitting.
He welcomed me and offered me a drink not knowing he had poisoned it.
I gulped in a little of the drink and I fell asleep immediately. I couldn't explicate what had happened to me.
In the morning,I woke up seeing myself nâked and feeling pains all over my body. I was full of rage and fear as tears of pains and misery flowed freely down my cheeks.
