INDIVIDUAL CROSS a story by mzinumidun Episode 01
MADAM DOUGLAS
My name is madam Douglas, I'm in my early 40, I
married at the age of 20, I am very light in complexion,
not too tall nor short. My husband died after 18 years of
our marriage, I have 2 kids for my husband named; Denis
and Dave. Denis is my first son, he is handsome, brilliant
and very tolerance but when he was a kid, he has missus
but due to our ignorance, we took him to the hospital and
he was given an injection since then, Denis was unable to
walk, as a sociable person, I can't take him out. I deprive
him of his right and anything that belongs to him, I gave
it to Dave. Dave is not handsome like Denis but his also
breathtaking. Although his not brilliant but I'll spend my
last card to make sure he gets the education he want. I
torment Denis life after my husband demise because
when he was alive, he loves Denis than Dave. You can say
am callous but how did you feel? A boy that is disable, I
felt so disgust anytime I saw him. Although he still lives in
the same compound with me but I put him in the boy's
cutter...at the end, what ends my story is misery!
Hmmmmm.
DIANA
My name is Diana, I'm in my early 20, I'm fair in
complexion, I'm the only child of my parent. My mum
died after she gave birth to me. My dad raised me up
with the help of nanny. At a point in my life, I thought the
nanny was my mother while my dad is her husband
because my dad does not have a relative or friends
except his business associate. I got to know my nanny is
not my mother one day when am on my way from school,
I heard my dad shouting on my nanny; Go away! Who
ask you to stay? If you go I'll employ another nanny for
my daughter. You can go if you care. I was so surprised
that faithful noon to heard my dad shouting because
since I was born, I have never saw him do such. I was still
in deep thought when my nanny came out with a
straight face. I walk up to her and ask what's the problem
was all about. She told me since I was born, she was the
one taking care of me and took me as her own child but
now its time for her to get married,she said she'll not be
living with us any longer. On hearing that, I started
crying. She said that was what she went to tell my dad
before he started shouting on her,she told me to stop
crying that anytime I need her help, I'm free to call her.
That was how my nanny left. Then I was 14 years of age
later in the night I went to my dad room I confronted him
for being so harsh to my nanny. He told ♏ε̲ he's so sorry
and promised to get me a new nanny as soon as possible.
He pat me on the back and we slept together in his room.
The following morning was Friday, when I woke up, I
couldn't see my dad beside me, I sprung on my feet and
went to the bathroom, I did not see my dad there I
checked everywhere but my dad was no where to be
found. I went back to his room and saw a piece of paper
on the table indicating he has travel as usual. I sat on the
floor and started crying. That day, I couldn't go to school
because I was so tired! Wait sef, what is the essence of
going school when all they do is to bully me, I don't have
friends in school but I have many enemies. My classmates
always abuse me . Some even call me an orphan because
they haven't met my mum and my dad only my nanny
which everyone of them knows as my nanny. I stood on
my feet and went to the bathroom, I sat inside the bath
tub with water rushing on my head for some minutes
before I stood up and left there for my room. After I
dressed up, I went to kitchen to prepare egg and toast
bread. 2 days later, my dad is not yet back as I slept all
alone in the house which was so weird. Story to be continued....
