Bright white lights blind my vision as I attempt to open my eyes. People rushing near me . ''What's going on?'' I ask frantically.

DR:Its okay Ms Raboroko, you're in good hands. Can you tell where you are?

NALEDI: The hospital. How did I get here?when ...

DR:Your family brought you in. They found you in an abandoned car not far from your grandmother's house.

NALEDI: What? I don't understand, why am I here?

DR:Ms Raboroko they brought you in because they found you unconscious, with bubbles in your mouth and blood and your on your clothes.

What ? Why can't I remember anything?

NALEDI: What do you mean blood on my pants? How's my child ? Is my baby still alive?

DR:Unfortunately Ms Raboroko you miscarried.

No!
My grandmother and Katleho came in .

MME MARIA: Naledi, you're awake . We were so worried about you ngwanaka.

NALEDI: Doctor what do you mean I miscarried? Children don't just die ! What the fuck happened? Nkgono whetsalang ? Katleho!!Answer me .
I yelled with a stream of tears gushing out.

DR:Ms Raboroko, we found multiple DNA ,2 to be exact on you.

NALEDI: Bathong mme o ! Speak fucking English, what are you saying to me?

KATLEHO: Cuz...you ...

NALEDI: WHAT!

KATLEHO: You were raped,not by one man but 2 .

NALEDI: No.(laughing) La dlala lona.
I said trying to catch my breath. They must be lying. I did absolutely nothing to deserve this .Nothing.

KATLEHO: Look at this .

He took out his phone and showed me camera footage .....of me ,me being molested by men over and over again.

Over and over again.
Over and over again.

One man after the other.

NALEDI: Take me home.

DR: Unfortunately Ms Raboroko...

NALEDI: I don't give fuck! Doctor, have you ever been used ?

Silence

NALEDI: No....have you ever been treated like absolute garbage just because you have a vagina not a penis? Hmm. Was your virginity stolen from you ,over and over again? Have you ever lost your child doctor?

Silence

NALEDI:I didn't think so . Now I demand to be discharged right now.

I shakingly got up  pulled out my drip and my grandmother handed me a bag of clothes.

*Later that day*

ONA:Hey Naledi.  You got us worried there.

NALEDI: Kopa o jwetse babang hore I'm leaving.

ONA:I don't think that's a good idea cuz.

NALEDI: I didn't ask for your opinion.

I grabbed my bags and got inside my car.
Why me ? Why do I have to go through so much. Ha ke na batswadi,no shoulder to cry on.

*Incoming call from Mpho*

I took a deep breath in. They shouldn't know a clue about what happened, nothing at all.

MPHO:Hi Aus'Naledi.

NALEDI: Hi Mphoza. Howzit?

MPHO:Its good,fantastic actually. We won our netball match.

NALEDI: Wow Nana, that's amazing. Was Karabelo there to watch?

MPHO: Yep he came with his entire squad.

NALEDI:That's good, look im on the road Nana so I'll call you later okay .

MPHO: Okay byeeeee.
I hung up .

How am I going to tell them that my child passed. I wish everything woud just come to an end , all of it . I'm so tired ,when will I ever find happiness?
