You will most probably take after your father. His calm and polite
ways are written all over you. Before him, I dated all types of men.
Some were of honour, but others were leading reckless lives. My first
boyfriend, Juma, had a scandalous reputation. Women were always fighting
over him and even though I knew he was bad news I still could not
resist him. I learnt to enjoy his company whenever he was around and not
cry when he wasn't. Whenever he wished to see me my door was open and
so were my legs.
I often wondered who I would eventually settle
down with. I still had that fairytale dream of finding a man who would
marry and start a family with me. When Phil came along, I was pretty
sure he was the one. We met during a corporate meeting and that's where I
discovered that he was a radio presenter. We didn't exchange contacts
then but I found myself listening to his show that evening.
I was
impressed by what I heard and started touching myself to his voice, my
fingers becoming his manhood giving me pleasure. I tuned in to his
programme two weeks later and it felt like he was there with me having
an actual conversation.
I had put myself in an awkward situation
which I had not realized until I bumped into him later on at another
gathering. Here is a man I've been infatuated with and he just remembers
me as some woman he met at a few months ago. I calculated my words very
carefully fearing I might disclose what I have been doing and scare him
away. I mentioned that I had become a fan of his show and he said he
had noticed my comments on the fan page a few times.
Dating this
guy was a confirmation that fairytales do exist. How often do things
like this happen to people? But we soon discovered that we had very few
things in common. At that point having a fight would have probably been
the most exciting thing in the relationship. We soon fell apart and I
felt so sorry for myself.
Rina and the neighbour's baby reminded
me of your dad and I. The way Rina was always pushing him around and the
helpless kid would just smile until it was too much. I was the loud one
in the relationship and at times it felt like I was the only one
talking and he was just staring at me. It made me look stupid as if I
was talking to myself but the few words he said made me fall deeper.
There
was something about your father that made me want to stick around him
to the end. He was probably not the best man when it came to dressing
and at times he smelt of armpit juice but I knew I could work on that.
He made me want to work hard and better myself daily.
That was why
I did not know how to tell him I could not find Rina. It was hard
enough for me to understand that my daughter had been kidnapped. What
kind of human being steals another person's child? We had been through a
lot and our firstborn had brought so much joy. Thankfully your dad did
not fault me knowing very well that I had also been drugged. He asked
all the questions to the police, put up posters on the roads and even
put word out on social media but there was no sign of my girl.
The
worst punishment has to be bearing a child and not knowing where they
are. At least if they died you would cry and bury your tears with its
body. It would be difficult to move on through the pain but there is
closure in death. However, when you have no idea of their whereabouts
nothing makes sense and you sit waiting for a text, a demand for ransom,
a body, anything. Do I blame myself for taking her to the clinic that
day? Maybe if I had a car and drove instead of walking my little
princess would still be here with me.
Your sister would have
taught you a few tips on how to speak up and air your views. I can tell
you're going to be a bit boring just like your father. Rina would have
helped with that. She would play with you and on some days she was the
only one who vould calm you. Your crying would piss her off and she
would start shouting at you. The house would get really quiet with your
crying and her shouting but now I would give anything to hear her
screams. Now the world has cheated our destiny. What if they use her for
those devilish rituals? O God! Take care of my baby.
