JOSY’S POV
????????????????
I’m gradually getting over my been ra-ped with the help of UC and also with the help of many books and articles I read about ra-pe victim’s and how they coped and moved on with their lives….
Throu-ghthis, I have come to realize that I am one of the luckiest victims of ra-pe, what do I actually meant by this… Their are worst cases of people who were ra-ped, not only been ra-ped but they get pregnant in the act,…
Some others contacted disease some Aids and other dangerous se-xually transmitted diseases etc… Yet they didn’t kill their selves but moved on, some of them are even married with kids…
By reading these stories, I gained a lot of courage to move on though the scares is still there and the wound won’t be healed in a jiffy but in all I have a life and a dream which I want to achieve and that I must achieve no matter what happens…….
I can’t stop thinking about the guy that rescued me that night, though I feel a little guilty about how I treated him that night without a proper appreciation but is generally not my fault….. His handsome, tall, dark and smells wealthy no doubt but I can’t remember his face even if he happens to stand right next to me and that hurts……..
I have already washed and ironed his cloth, folded it and put it in a fancy nylon boldly written thank you and God bless you…. Is two weeks already and I just hope that fate and destiny will one day make us cross path so that I will properly appreciate his help for me and hand over his shirt to him…… The thought of him makes me smile even though I don’t really fancy guys that much, because of what my Madams son and uncle did to me, and I even hated them the most after my ra-pe encounter but what I don’t understand is why I should be smiling whenever I’m thinking of this particular saviour or hero of a guy….
A knock at the door brou-ght me to reality…….
I stood up and opened the door, UC badged in like someone that’s been chased
Hey! What’s up UC, why did you badge in like that? I asked looking at the worried rather angry UC….
Just shut the door she barked at me after realizing that I still left the door ajar..
I just shut the door immediately like an obedient soldier…..
And turned to look at her, she’s already at the window peeping….
Hey girl, what’s wrong, were you been chased by someone? I asked her curious…..
After a thorou-ghlook, she signed and throw her back at the bed…. And cursed in a clinched teeth….
as she paces up and down looking worried, angry, scared at the same time…..
Talk to me UC, what happened to you on your way back home? I asked her for the up tent times…….
Josy, you can’t believe the coward, I mean the idiot I ran into today, just at the gate of the hotel?
Whose that, I asked very curious now….
You just can’t believe it, is Emma, that bastard son of a bit-ch ! She cursed yet again…
Whose Emma, I was asking silently within me, I know that a lot of guys are trying to ask her out which she firmly turned all of them down, I know their names by heart but I don’t know any Emma……
Who’s Emma, I asked her just to make sure I heard the name she mentioned correctly…..
Emma, oh my gosh! That son of a bastard that tried to ruin my life, she said and burst into tears…….
I held her, and make her rest on my shoulder while she cried and cursed this Emma
I’m getting the clue gradually but I just needed to make sure is what I’m thinking….
I have no option than to allow her cry as much as she wants to and vent out all the anger within her………..
Emma you must pay for making my best friend cry, I said within me……..

JOSY’S POV
????????????????
She’s done crying and ready to talk now….
I know you are confused about who Emma is, she said looking at me with an expressionless face…..
Honestly, I have been thinking about this Emma, though I’m not certain, is he the father of your son? I asked her hoping that I’m correct….
Yah, she nodded… Emma the father of my son, I saw him on my way back, just after the gate while I was waiting for a cab, he came down from Lexus jeep, I only saw some one that came down from a car but didn’t bother to look because I was busy checking for an empty cab, all of a sudden I heard my name UC! , Uchechi! Then I turned and it was him…..
So what did you do, didn’t you give him a dirty slap? I asked her angrily remembering how she suffered carrying that pregnancy…..
Hmmm! No I didn’t, I just ignored him and pretended that I wasn’t the one he is talking to,….
I wish I was there, I would have beaten the living day light out of him,I said fuming
Then a cab came by and I jumped in, on getting to the Junction, I was paying the driver and suddenly I saw his car halted, he came out… I don’t want him to have a clue about my directions so I jumped into the vehicle again and asked the driver to take me to the next Junction…
Mtcheww! I was just running cross country because of that bastard, and he even made me spend extra money….. She said frowning.
Is okay darling, at least you are home now and he didn’t get to see you…. I said….
I went to get our food and when I returned, she was smiling, though her smile was not a complete one…
You’re smiling UC, don’t tell me you’re still in love with that coward… I said dropping the tray of thick okro soup with ugba and fufu on the table…….
Was I smiling? She said and blus-hed….
Of course you are, I replied her dropping the wash hand bowl…
Well, you know… I just can’t stop loving him, he was my first love, my one and only love, he was a cute loving guy, fun and interesting to be with, he thought me what love was all about, he made so many sweet promises to me, he was the one that took my pride and I don’t regret giving it to him… She smiled…
And what finally happened sugar girl? I asked her washing my hands… He played and kicked you out just like football isn’t it?
She wiped the tears that has gathered around her eyes….
Yes he did, he was weak and just a coward, he allowed his parents played with his brain, he let me suffer for years in pains and humiliation,….
Why do you have to reappear now that I’m gradually forgetting about you and putting the pieces of my shattered life together? I hate you Emmanuel, I hate you so much and I promise I won’t forgive you, you won’t set an eye on my son, never!
She was crying already, and hitting the bed like it was Emma…..
Please UC, just stop it already, you closed your heart for love so many years ago just because of that dude…. You love him and no doubt about that, just stop hurting yourself emotionally and physically and move on with your life. First love are ha-rd to forget and some are worth forgetting believe me… I don’t want to fall in love just because of heart break but for you, I think you have to move on my dear, fate can still bring the two of you together if you both are actually destined to be…. But right now, stop crying, we will talk about this letter and sought things out together…
I said stro-king her hair pa-ssionately and affectionately….. She’s like a sister to me, and we have both stood by each throu-ghthick and thin and it hurts me seeing her in this state now because of Emma or whatever his name is…….
