"Cold desert"

Episode 8 - *Agony*


I wasn't getting enough time to sleep, talk less of bathing.
I wished my parents were alive. That was too early for me as an orphan. Sofomaame always reminded me of my background.

The worst of it happened when she slapped the hell out of me because I called her "mum".
My brother, tell me, was it wrong to have called her mummy? What was she expecting me to call her?
(Aboa nkye wo nwe, nnyim wo na?)....she asked rhetorically in Fante.

To add more injury to it, she threw some stinking water to my face. I couldn't stand it so I rushed back to my garage.
I got there and saw my father driving out. It wasn't as if he didn't know whatever was happening, he just couldn't talk. He got me some provisions and asked that I keep it well and use it.

Hmmmm...may God bless him.
Right after he had left, my mum rushed in and beat me up mercilessly. It seems she was standing somewhere watching us all this while. She asked that I gave her the things so I hurriedly gave them out to her.

What could possibly have gingered this woman?
I wasn't growing any younger too. Even tissue to use during my menstruation was a problem. I had to leave it to flow, it will definitely stop one day or? Come on, tell me something.

To Be Continued .
