I lost my marbles when I deciphered that the man whom I trusted as far as I could fling a bull by the tail póisoned me.
I broke out in a cold sweat when he came and said "Bâby, you're too sweet on bed,I feel like jogging on you horizontally, daily".
Words failed me and I was flabbergasted.
Then,he tried to touch my thighs but I moved out instantly though I was nâked but I was lucky my luggages were in the sitting room.
I wore my clothes expeditiously and eluded his house with my sober countenance.
He attempted to hinder me from going but I pushed him off. And the push made him to plummet on the surface of the earth.
I did that as though I wanted to blow a fuse.
It was 6:00am already and people were rambling and transversing along the road.
Big trailers and caravans were passing.
Tricycles, cars and buses were also passing.
I was insolvent and bankrupted. I had no money to board a bus that will take me to Aba.
I kept thinking outside the box on how to rise some money when I looked at one of my baggages.
"I would have to sell this together with the clothes inside it in other to get money" I said my mind.
I bought that baggage fifteen thousand naira then and I was lucky to sell it for ten thousand naira together with the clothes.
I sold it to a young lady who pitied me when I narrated everything I had gone through to her.
Forthwith,I boarded a bus which ran like a greased lightning.
When I got home,my visage was full of smiles when I saw my baby girl bouncing as though she was much healthier.
"What happened Mezuo?" Mama asked. "I thought you said you're going to stay with Ben".
I smirked and told Mama that I would explicate what happened later and she did not repudiate.
I know that my child will console me. I know she would wipe away my tears.
"I must work very hard and train you to any level of education" I said and cuddle her."I will name you victory, because you must surely come out victorious".
A year later, Victory was already in Nursery 2. She was very intelligent and brilliant and all her teachers were admiring her.
I was doing mini jobs in the village in other to help in paying her school fees and also providing for the family.
I was really hardworking and all the people I worked for had all commended me.
One day,Mama was very sick and I had no money to buy drugs for her· the drugs I bought for her the other day had finished.
She was shaking and gasping for air when I ran to the pharmaceutical shop.
"Sir, please give me some drugs, my mother is very sick. I will pay you back when I come back from work today" I blubbered with my heart pounding.
"No!,go and get money first" He uttered.
I tried to beg him but he ordered me to get out.
That was the only pharmaceutical shop in the village and I know not of anybody to borrow money from.
I ran out immediately to check on Mama's condition in the house. I got there and Mama was no longer breathing.
