Stolen Innocence

Episode 1 coming up

Mother and father had gone to the farm earlier that day with my older siblings, blessing, faith, favour, prosper and God'spower. I had chicken pox so i was left at home with success. Success was my cousin and she lives with us in our little thatched house in the village. My parents didn't want to leave me but they had to harvest the maize at the farm before it dries up or get eaten by birds. Success didn't want to watch me but she volunteered so that when my parents were gone she could go with her friends to swim and avoid farm work. So as soon as my family went out she came to my room and told me she was leaving. "there is some food in the kitchen if you get hungry later. I will be back soon" she says as she dashed out. She knows i wouldn't report. The chicken pox made me fall into an uncomfortable sleep and when i woke up i was hungry. I went into the kitchen and saw that jacky, our dog was eating my food. "oh no. What do i do?" i say as i walk away from the kitchen. As i came out of our kitchen, i saw Mr ogoh. Mr ogoh was an old man who lived alone. He was also a family friend who we shared a fence with. "Rachel, how are you, i heard you have chicken pox so you couldn't go to the farm today" he said "good afternoon sir, i am fine" "good...so are you alone?" "yes sir" "you don't look happy, what is wrong?" he asked me and I told him about my food that our dog ate so he told me not to worry as he went into his kitchen and brought me food. I was just twelve years old then so i didn't think it was wrong to eat the food he gave me. And he was a family friend. So i just ate the food. I never knew that was the beginning of my end.

Episode 2 Success came home an hour after i ate the food and i told her about how jacky ate my food and how Mr ogoh was kind enough to help me by giving me food from his house. Success didn't seem to care. She just rushed to the kitchen to cook our evening meal before my parents came back from the farm. When our parents got back, i told them about Mr ogoh giving me food when jacky ate mine. I didn't tell them about success leaving the house. I didn't want her to get in trouble so i told them success was sleeping so i didn't want to wake her when jacky ate my food. My parents were thankful for the help and decided to thank Mr ogoh the next day. Later that night, after falling asleep, i had a dream. I saw my self among a group of people wearing black gowns. I was the youngest there and it was so scary. I looked around and saw Mr ogoh there. He came to me and i cried for him to take me home. He told me not to worry that i was now among special people and that they would make all my wishes and requests come true. This made me stop crying. I saw it as an opportunity to help my family, so i asked them to make my father rich. They gave me a calabash and asked me to put it under my parents bamboo bed. They told me that it would make us rich. They also warned me not to tell anybody about them and the calabash, or my father would die. I accepted the calabash then i woke up. At first, i thought it was just a dream but then i saw an identical calabash by my bed. I usually slept beside success and she was still asleep so i tip-toed out of our room. I took the calabash to my parents room and put it under their bed. The next morning, i was so excited and happy about what happened. I was so proud of my self for supposedly helping my family. Before going to the farm, my mom had taken me to Mr ogoh's house to thank him for his help the previous day. They had no clue what he had done to their innocent kid. If only they knew.

Episode 3 Three days later, i was awaken by my mother's scream. I woke up with a start and ran to my mom's room. When i got there, i saw my mother sitting on the ground wailing. My other siblings were also there. "brother favour, what is wrong with mama?"i asked my eldest brother. "can't you see papa is hurt"he said pointing to my father who was lying on the bed. I didn't notice him when i entered but then i saw what was wrong. My dad's right leg was decaying and it had maggots all over it. My dad was fine the previous night so i couldn't understand what went wrong. I turned to look at the sad faces of my family. I didn't know what to do so i went to Mr ogoh to ask for help, since he told me he would make all my wishes come true. All i wanted then was for my father to be healed. When i saw him, i told him about my father's predicament and asked him for help. He told me it was my fault. He said i didn't place the calabash rightly and now my father would die because of me. They never told me how to place the calabash so i was confused. But as a twelve years old naive child i didn't know i was being manipulated. Mr ogoh sent me home and told me he would make my father better. He also told me, i was a bad person who made my father sick. I went home feeling guilty, not knowing what else to do but believing Mr ogoh's lies. To be continued

Episode 4 My dad never got better. He was diagnosed at the community hospital of having leg cancer. He couldn't go to the farm anymore and this made our daily income to decrease while our expenditure increased. We had to purchase a set of crutches for my father so he could move around the house. I was always left at home to look after my father. This wasn't what i wanted. I complained day after day to Mr ogoh but he always told me they were working on it. One fateful day, while i was complaining to Mr ogoh again, my dad walked in on us. I never knew if he heard what we were saying but the next day my father died. As usual Mr ogoh told me it was my fault. It was a sad event for my family. I cried my eyes out that day and at the burial. People tried consoling me but i knew i didn't deserve their consolations because i did it. I killed my father. After my father's death, everything cooled down. I tried to avoid Mr ogoh at all cost. I wasn't asked to do anything else in my dreams. The meetings in my dream continued but i was only a spectator. I watched people offer their family members. Two years later, things started getting better for my family. My sister blessing got married to a rich contractor from the city and this made our standard of living to improve. My brother, favour also got admitted into the university. Mr ovie, my sister's husband provided money for all his school expenses. He also promised to sponsor favour through out his five years of studying electrical engineering. Joy was back in my family but then i got an unexpected visitor. ***************** *who do you think was the visitor?* Please comment
