I was sleeping peacefully until I was woken up by a bang near my door
Dad : Wake up mahn Alwande
Me : but dad, it's just 5:00 in the morning school hasn't start yet
Dad : oh what do u think you will eat, you know u have work in the farm, stop being lazy and get up!On his way out he banged the door closed. I swear I hated him.. You know sometimes I just wish he wasn't my dad
I went out to bath and got ready for the stupid work. After I was done bathing I went to the kitchen and I found my mom there
Her: babe, why you up so early?
I couldn't tell my mom what my dad was doing to me because he threatened to make my life miserable if I would ruin his marriage so I had to lie.
Me: ehm.. Hey mom, I just thought I should wake up and work on the farm.
Her: (looked surprised) oh.. OkI went out to work. I didn't even realize that I had tears on my face until..
Siya:hiii alwande why you crying
Me: arg man ( faked a smile) I'm not crying
Siya:you sure you fine??
( I nodded)Siya was a boy who lived next to my house. We went to the same school. People in my school were such bullies but siya was actually different than others
My dad cuaght me talking to him and he was soo furious, he never let me talk or be friends with anyone.Dad: what did I say about having chatts with ur f*cken friends, you really disrespect me, since you don't wanna live according to my rules. You will not have supper tonight but Patricia will.!
Patricia is my sister, she seems to be my dad's favorite
Me: why you treating me like I'm some sorta rubbish. I'm ur duaghter for goodness sake! And you know what, you are gonna regret what u doing. Please call ur precious Patricia to work on this stupid farm of yours because I'm done! I'm sick of it damn it!
Siya awkwardly went to he's house
My mom heard me shouting at my dad and she was angryHer: how dare u speak to ur dad like his ur friend alwande! I'm so disappointed in u, now get inside of the house and go to school.
Me: mom can't u see that ur husband is blinding you, you don't even know what this man of yours is doing to me, who am I kidding?? Cos u always on his side but it's fine. I'm going to school bye
Her: have u ran out of ur stupid mind alwande, go vele
Dad:and never come back!
Me:I sure will come back (as I went inside the house)I put on my uniform that my mom had ironed for me and I went straight to school. I had no transport to take me because my parents couldn't afford. I didn't even have lunch, our lives at home were overwhelming, I couldn't get what most girls have.
I got to school. I bumped into this other boy named John.
John:hey watch ur way
Me:I'm sorry John, I'm having a rough day today
John:does that really explain why you bump into me like I'm some kinda trash
Me:come on John it was just a bump, I didn't mean to do it intentionally
(John pushed me beside the wall)John:you will never bump into me and pretend as if it's not a big thing, you quet forget how I'm the boss in this school, this will never happen again
