"This is just little, this is just the beginning. I'll show you pepper"
Ever since the day this statement was muttered by my uncle's wife, I found it very hard to breathe peacefully. My heart was heavy and my mind also wasn't at rest. This statement actually means my life after being discharged from hospital would be worst that the one I had lived before. I couldn't stand still to go through the half of what I had gone through in the house, Talk less of going through what's worst than the one I had gone through.
I was enjoying as I was in the hospital, My uncle's wife couldn't beat me, torture or harm me. So I kept acting as if I wasn't healthy even though my health had restored back. The doctor who takes care of me always get confused whenever she comes to check at me and still met me on bed not playing like a healthy person. I was to be discharged the following week I was admitted into the hospital but because I didn't give a sign of being healthy,I wasn't discharged when I was to be discharged.
One day when my uncle's wife wasn't with me, The female doctor walked to me secretly, And then tapped me.
Why did she tap me? I always closed my eyes in the hospital, I don't open my eyes, To avoid unnecessary talking from my uncle's wife. If had shown her a sign of being healthy, she would have been disturbing my life with threat.
As I was tapped, I thought it was my uncle's wife,so I didn't open my eyes.
"Oh! She's still sleeping " the doctor said, as she was about to leave.
As I heard the voice, I realized that it wasn't from my uncle's wife, so I held the doctor's hand and grasped her back.
"I thought you were still sleeping " the doctor.
"Not really" I said.
Then the doctor asked me.
"but, what's happening? " the doctor asked.
I was so surprised to hear this. So I replied surprisingly.
"What's happening? i don't get ma" I replied.
Then the female doctor moved closer to me and use her hands to rub my eyebrow. This made me recalled how my late use to pamper and take care of me. I couldn't help myself but started crying.
"Anyway, All the tests we carried out showed that you're now healthy , why the presence? " the doctor asked me.
"I'm tired of this life ma. Please give me a pòisònous injection. Let me have peace of mind" I said, as I started crying.
"Why? What happened? Kilode? " the doctor was asking me curiously.
Then I told the doctor to sit down and then I explained everything to her.
The doctor couldn't help herself, tears were just rolling down from her eyes flowingly. So I quickly use my hand to wipe the tears on her face and said.
"It's ok ma. I'll be fine" I said.
The doctor also used her hand to wipe my tears and nodded.
"You'll be fine. I know what to do" the doctor said.
The doctor was about to say another word, when we heard a knock on the door. It wouldn't be anybody but my uncle's wife. The doctor then stood up and went to open the door for her.
Before she could enter, I had pretended as if I was sleeping back.
"Thanks for the care ma" she told the doctor.
"I just came to check her but i met her still sleeping. Well she will be fine" the doctor said.
"Ameeeeeeennnn" my uncle's wife said loudly.
When the doctor was about to leave, she tapped my uncle's wife and told her.
"Please, let me see you in my office ma" the doctor said
If it hadn't been for the fact that I had pretended as if I was sleeping, I would've given the doctor a sign not to ask her anything. Because I know she would never change. She hate me passionately.
"Maybe I should follow you now" my uncle's wife said, as she stood up and followed the doctor.
After few minutes she followed the doctor, she entered back àngrily and gave me two dirty slaps. I didn't see the slaps coming. It pained me so much that I couldn't hold my tears,It started dropping like a rainfall.
"What did you tell the doctor? " she asked me àngrily.
I couldn't help, I was just begging, I was crying and sobbing.
"I said what did you tell the doctor? " she thundered.
The sound of the slaps was what the doctor heard. she entered the room rapidly and saw me holding my cheeks with my hands. Then the doctor turned to her and said.
"So you're as you were described" the doctor faced her.
"Excuse me, mind your business"she said as she replied the doctor.
The doctor was about to say another word, when my uncle's wife shrilled.
"Shiiiiiiii" she shrilled.
Then she turned to me and said.
"You're going to leave here today, and sure, You're going to regret this" my uncle's wife said, talking to me.
I ran to the doctor and held her.
"Please help me ma" I said, with tears on my eyes.
