I knocked on Mady’s door thrice before she opened it. I greeted her. she yawned,
looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall. It was 5.45am.
“How was your night?” she asked.
“fine” i replied. She made to usher me in, perhaps to hear
me tell her ‘yes, i will accept the offer’ but i was reluctant. She noticed and asked if
there’s any problem.
“I want to see my child” i told her. She looked at me intently as if she didn’t know it was i. After much staring, she told
me that my child is with the nursery mistress.
“Where do i find her?” i asked.
She said nothing. All she did was to walk
into her room and come back with a little
bag. she handed it over to me.
“This is the money we talked about. take it
and leave. I have taken your daughter as
mine already. Go and get ready with the
rest girls, you are going on your first outing
with them today?” She said and shut the
door.
“Noo i don’t want your money. I need my
daughter. I don’t want to stay here
anymore. Give my my daughter so i can
leave” i kept shouting as i hit the door hard.
I threw away the money. I can never exchange my Winnie, the first fruit of my womb for money.
I was still there when three Hefty men came out from nowhere and ordered me to
keep quiet. I refused. One of them gave me
the hardest slap i ever received since i was
born. I had no other choice than to keep quiet amidst sobs.
They locked me in one room. I knew Mady
ordered them to do that. I cried bitterly. I
prayed to God to hearken unto my cries for
i know i have sinned. I cursed the day i
slept with Nnamdi. I cursed the day i met
him.
Throughout that day, i was locked up with
no food nor water. I became very weak.
It was around 10pm that i heard the door
open slightly. Ona creeped in and signaled
to me to keep quiet. She locked the door
and gave me the food she brought for me.
“I saw what happened. I have been looking
for a chance to bring you something but i
found none. Please eat the food fast before Mady finds me here” she whispered.
After eating, she told me that Mady locked me up so that i will die of starvation. Ona
said Mady has killed countless girls in that manner. I was really surprised at this that i
gave out a loud gasp.
“But because i found out you are a nice person, i decided to help you. I put something in that ”three men’s” drink to
make them sleep. I want you to escape”She said.
I was really touched with this kind of kindness.
“But how do i escape without my daughter?”
I asked.
It was then Ona told me that my daughter
has been taken away. She gave me some
money, led me carefully out of the house
and bade me safe journey.
“Thank you so much Ona. God will bless
you” i said as i left.
I looked into the darkness of the night with
a great fear, not knowing where to go. I
wondered if i could survive that night and if i can ever see my daughter again.
