My uncle's wife episode 2

MY W!CKED UNCLE'S WIFE AND HER CHILDREN
EPISODE2

"If not cruelty, how would you leave me for suffering? I said, as I looked at my late parent's pictures, with tears rolling down from my eyes.

I have never found myself in such a bàd situation, I've never being treated or beaten like that since the day I was born.My father doesn't beat me when he was alive, neither my mum too.Should we call it too much of caring or an act of spoiling? No, My parent usually warn me whenever I offend them.But once I amend, I would be set free.

As I was about to sleep, I laid down my body on the bed but I couldn't sleep still. The wounds and injures her beatings had caused to my body couldn't let me lay my body on bed. I turned right,Turn left and did everythig I could to sleep but i felt as if my body was being placed on fìre.I couldn't sleep till morning.

Later in the morning, Before anybody could wake up, I had woken up and did all the house chores.I was about to mop the parlour's floor, when I heard my uncle's voice.

"Good morning, my daughter " he said.
"Good morning, sir" I replied, as I turned to him.

When he saw my eyes being swollen up, He asked me curiously

"What, what, I mean, What happened to you? " he asked me.

Because I didn't want him to kmow what happened,I touched my eyes,smiling, And said

"No, nothing happened to me. Maybe because I didn't wake up early" I said, as I faked smile..

My uncle knew I was lying.so he shouted at me this time.

"What happened to you? " he thundered.

I explained everything to him with tears rolling down from my eyes.

"You mean it was my wife that did this to you? " he asked

With tears on my face,I nodded.

"Yes, sir" I added.

"What did you do? " he asked.

So I explained how his son offended me and how I beat him lightly.

"But he was the one who was faulty, how could she beat you even thought you were on your right? And meanwhile, Who permitted her to be beating you? " my uncle was saying angrily, As he was climbing the upstair.

I was where I stood, when I started hearing him shouting and roaring at his wife, He was blaming and abusing her for beating me mercilessly.

I didn't tell him purposely to be abusing his wife but when he was shouting at me, I couldn't resist it.

When my uncle was set to go to work, he left without eating his food that was placed on the table by his wife.it seems like my uncle was still àngry and màd at her. I didn't know that he would take it seriously.If I had known, I wouldn't have told him even if he would beat me for not telling him what happened to me.

After he left, My uncle's wife turned to a liòn.I thought how my uncle abused and insulted her for beating me would make her change, But rather it worsened the matter on ground.

She looked at me from afar and threw a bottle at me, It nearly hit my face but I dodged it.

"You this dìrty orphan, I'm going to show you hèll. By the time I'm done with, you'll be praying for death." She said, thundering like an angry lion.

I moved closer to her to beg her but then she gave me a dirty slap.

"Just that I don't want to see you in my husband's house. Better go and còmmit sùìcìdè" she said, biting her fingers.

After few minutes, I went to the kitchen to take my food but she blocked my way and took the food to the dustbin where we dump wastes and garbage.Then she told me.

"If you want to eat,You can go and take it there" she said, as she pointed at the dustbin.

"God forbid " I said in my mind as I entered the room.

But when it was about 2:00pm, I couldn't hold it again. When my parent were alive, we eat as earlier as 7:30am, The latest time is 8:00am. I couldn't imagine not having my breakfast by that time.

When I started feeling dizzy, feeling like fainting as a result of hunger, I couldn't help but went to the dustbin and started eating the dumped food like a dog.

I couldn't control the tears

"Mom, dad, Are you seeing this? " I started crying uncontrollably.

To be continued.
