#Day16
Row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream. My mind wandered back to the past, memories of my childhood became a Shadow of my imagination. I could vivdly picture how young I was , playing with pants , cooking leaves and sand, playing under the rain , swimming in flooded dirty water and alot more that brought joy to my heart. At least it relieved the pain I was going through.
I ran away from what use to be my comfort zone with no destination. Entering the boat I said to myself "I would go where you stop". This words made know meaning to me anyway I just needed to leave.
My name is tola I got back home from the market to see my dad laying down on the floor cold and lifeless. I shaked him begging him to wake up but he didn't respond. Maybe I was blind to the fact that he was dead. I loved my dad so much and even wished to marry a man like him but all that changed after I read the white note that slipped from his hands while shaking him.
"Tola my jewel I am so sorry, I accidentally killed your mother when we had an argument. I was shocked cause he only told me she died in an accident without details. Tears flowed freely from my eyes, I didn't cry because he killed my mum, I cried because the last paragraph made me hated him in death. " I Drugged and sexually abused you when I felt lonely" no wonder I usually wake up from sleep feeling stranger and most times have sexual urge " I said to myself.
I saw my whole world crumble before me, I lost a priceless jewel to a man I admired. That wasn't the issue I had prayed to marry a man like him. Sitting in the boat, I just wished death cause all I ever did was to ask questions that had unknown answers because the only person who had the answer is dead.
