My uncle's wife episode 4

MY W!CKED UNCLE'S AND HER CHILDREN
EPISODE4

"Dad, mum,Please call me to where you're.I'm ready. please don't be cruel.I can't just bear this pain." I was saying in pain, with tear on my eyes.

Telling me that if my uncle met me on the floor crying and groaning in pain after being beaten would send me to heaven made me painfully stood up and walked to my room to freshen up. Did I just say I walked? No, I couldn't say whether I walked to the room or crawled because the scars the beatings had caused to my body had made me weak.

As I got to the parlour, I met my uncle's wife watching movies. She paused the movie and lowered the volume down.Then she told me.

"Your mother is stupìd and your father is a bastard. What did you say? What will you do? What can you do? " she said, as she continue to abuse my late parent.

But then, I couldn't say anything. I just started crying. I couldn't imagine finding myself in a situation where a person will be abusing my parent and I'll kept mute.

"God will interfere into this" I said in my mind, as I left to my room.

The wounds and scars her previous beating caused to my body hadn't healed and yet she added another ones to them. Yet I must bath, because my uncle mustn't come back and meet my body being wet with blood. As I was even removing the clothes from my body, it was paining me excruciatingly, how would I then bath with it? I cried again.

When I entered the bathroom, I painfully removed the cloth from my body and started bathing. Like I've never spent on bathing, I spent more than two hours bathing with just water and not with soap. I bathed in excruciating pain. I took my clothes and burnt them. Then I sat down on my bed crying all over again. I couldn't imagine being an orphan at this early age, talk less of being a suffering orphan.

Later in the night when my uncle came back from work,he sat down in parlour together with his wife and then called me.

"Jumòkè" he shouted.
"Sir" I came down from an upstair.

My uncle nearly knew that something happened but I found every way to convince him.

"Why are you walking like that? " he asked me.

I would've told him what happened again, but as I was about to talk, I saw my uncle's wife showing me some signs. What did she mean? She was saying with her signs "if you tell him anything,I'll k!ll you"".

"Why did you keep mute?, Hope there's no problem? " he asked.
"ehm, emmmm,heemmmmmm" I was stammering.
"Why humm emmm heemmm? Tell me, did you need anything? " he asked.
"No sir, I don't need anything. " I said, as fake smile.

As I was going back to my room, my uncle's wife followed me, telling my uncle that she wanted to go and bring his food.

"God save you" she said, as she hissed on me. Then she entered the kitchen.

The torments and torturing continue like that.

But on one faithful Monday,I was sweeping the floor, cleaning the house, washing the clothe and cooking at the same time. When my uncle woke up and saw me doing everything, he asked me.

"Where are your brothers, Tòpe and others? Haven't they woken up? Why are you the only one doing all? "My uncle asked me, somehow angrìly.
"I'm adapted with it sir, that's how I do it" I said.

When I said this, I didn't say it to cause any tròuble in the house but it actually did.

"Tòpè, Tùnde, Esther!!!!! " my uncle called his children.

He called them three times before they answered. When they cane to meet him, on there hands were phones. Then my uncle asked them.

"What are you doing inside when your sister alone is doing all the house chores? " he asked them angrily.

"We are playing games. That's her work sure" the elder one among them said, and the remaining ones nodded.

That was the statement they uttered when my uncle started beating them. Their noises were heard by their mother. So she came to check what was happening.

"What's their offence, darling? " she asked my uncle.
"You're asking me stupìd questions. Better be mindful, if you don't want to be lashed too" my uncle said, as he continued beating them.

immediately as my uncle went to work, the children told their mother that i was the one who lied against them. And she said I would be beaten too.

I thought it was a joke, untill when she entered her room and came back with canes. As i saw this, I quickly ran out of the house and she was chasing me as I was running. As I ran out from the house gate unconsciously and was about to cross to other side of the road, I was crushed by a speeding car.

That was all I remembered.

To be continued.
