• Just as a chick would be left alone roaming in the bush and lost it's way , I was left and abadoned in a little world of tears and torment. Anguish and agony were forcefully imposed into my life. My tears was not enough to demand redemption.

The blind could see my unstoppable torment and sufferings but could not see the light of my future. The dumb could tell my story but could not tell me the solution to my predicaments. Even the deaf man could hear my cry but could not hear what the heart of my opressors says against me.
Here I am, left alone. Yes, I am left alone with no home or family. No one cares to Know my ways, greed had taken over those who could help and pride had lured those who could be called family.

My name is A'Isha , a native of Katsina state. A young elegant lady of twenty-five years. I'm endowed with beautiful body curves and a nice appearance. I'm tall with two heavy legs that suit my soft body structure. I'm dark in complexion and had dark long hair which dangles round my back when ever I breaded it. I'm not loved by many but I've been molested , frustrated , tormented , harrassed , abused , stigmatized , victimized and exposed to horrible experiences.
The tragic line of my story all started when I lost my both parent. I first lost my mother when I was just nineteen. She died of chronic Asma. Her death was so heartbreaking but I was able to prevail my emotions. My father died two months after celebrating my twenty-fourth birthday. He was caught in a car accident on his way back home from one of his official meetings and didn't survive it.
In a twinkle of an eye , I was left with no family , no friends , no companions not even love ones. The shadow of darkness prevailed me. Those who never liked my family triumph over my parent's exit. Claims of properties began to come in like a flow of anointing , my father's business and belongings were used abusively. The place I called home was filled with emptiness and dryness.  I was too scared to accept my eyes when suddenly I lost stability pschologically. I ran abadoning my home and my parent's wealth for the dogs which attacked them in their mouth like a piece Of bone desperately.

I finally settled in Aunty Alice's home after my studies. I studied medicine and surgery for six years and going back home was like being in a strange land because of  it's occupants. It was already a year after the death of my father. Aunt Alice had always show me that love and care I lost a year ago. She said I'm her only surviving family since she lost her brother, my father. She never shared anything in common with any of her step siblings because of their wayward life and their beliefs as Muslims.

I dressed in a peach colour polo and a short jeans the moment I came out from the bathroom.I laid down horizontally on my bed feeling tired and hungry. A while after, I heard foot-steps coming closer to where I laid.I pretended I heard nothing and closed my eyelids. I was not ready to leave my bed or run errands that evening and my state of health was not good enogh for the stress. I laid so flat on my bed like a lifeless being and didn't move any part of my body.
"Teddy?". I heard a masculine voice calling. I turned immediately as I recognised the voice and wore a smirk on my face. It was Maxwell my elder cousin. He was so fond of me and we shared deep and little secrets together though he possessed alot of irritating habits. One of it was dashing into my room without a knock.
"How may I help you Max?". I asked furiously.I stood up from the bed and leaned on my table where my deodorant and other body accessories were kept.
' What's the matter with you Teddy?'. He asked smiling when he noticed my facial expressions. I looked at him angrily accessing him with my dull eyes without saying a word.He closed the door behind him and walked in gently.
" Where have you kept your manners?"
 ' oh that?! I'm sorry but you should be used to that by now '. He responded.
' oh! Spare me that Max. You are wrong and I can't be used to what I am not
Comfortable with. Understand that'. He gazed at me for a while and silent went round the room. I threw my eyes into empty spaces avoiding he's eyes from emerging with mine.
"You got your own flaws , remember?" He finally broke the silence.
"Whatever!!" . I exclaimed in anger.He sat on my bed and played a little while with one of my teddy bear which was just on top Of my pillow. I shook my head in annoyance as I began to fold the clothes on my bed.I took them to the wardrobe  and place each and every one of them in their rightful place.
"Did you meet Chief? " He asked just the moment I sat on my chair. I pretended not to hear him speak and got busy with my Cellphone. I wore a frown on my face just as he repeated the question in a lower tone. I shook my head still frowning and didn't want to say anything or ask further question.
' I was asked to call you about five minutes ago. He should be in he's bedroom now'. He added. I became anxious and restless , I never liked it whenever my Aunt's husband sent for me. He was fond of sending me irrelevant errands and always ordering me to clean up his bedroom or study hall.
 " What does he really want this time?". I asked anxiously. Maxwell raised an eyebrow shaking his head. " I don't know.Maybe he wants you to tidy up he's room or study as usual"......
' And you think so?'. I cut in worriedly. He sat erect staring at me. He poured out a short breathe looking perplexed. 'Now tell me , is there something I don't really know about?'. He asked curiously.I staggered as I stood up and took a baby step away from him. I felt too weighty and uneasy ,I could not look into he's eyes as usual whenever I wanted talking to him. He nodded his head as his mind sank gradually into weird thoughts.
"Ehm!..." I paused and swallowed hard.
'Not at all Max. Excuse me'. I walked out immediately without turning back , leaving
Max in deep thoughts.
