I woke up this morning and quickly ran to mum and dad's room. Mum was already dressed for work, since today is Monday and she has to leave Lagos very early so as to get to Ibadan on time. Just yesterday I celebrated my 6years birthday. Actually yesterday isn't my birthday, last week Thursday was, but since mummy wasn't around she shifted the celebration. After the church service, we came home with some friends for the birthday celebration. Mum gave me a parcel, when I opened it I saw my stuffed panda; Benny in it. I was so happy. Benny was the only stuffed toy I had since mummy didn't really like stuffed animals or dolls. She preferred plastic toys like the plastic building blocks she got me on my fifth birthday. Dad got me new earrings again. I also got gifts from friends.

I wish mummy was always around. 
Dad was still sleeping on the bed, I hugged mum and kissed her softly on the cheek, she also did the same to me and then I told her I wanted her to stay.
"I have to work hard for my baby girl, daddy will take care of you." she said adjusting her waist belt.
Since we were on holiday, I was free to stay in her room as long as I wanted. I watched mummy pack her things in the blue bag on her side of the bed. Dad was still on the bed. Mum got her things ready, adjusted her make-up and then worn her suit. 
"Be good to daddy" she said as she kissed my forehead.  She laid me down on the bed besides daddy who opened his eyes and smiles at me. Mum waved goodbye and left the room.  
Dad bathed me and made food for me. We were both in the living room watching TV when he got a call from someone. He rushed to his car and drove out of the house leaving me in care of the gate man.

I was holding Benny in my arms since he was the only friend I had. Mum hardly let me visit anyone since the incident at my uncle's place. I had fallen down the stairs during one of my  visits and was rushed to the hospital. 
When dad came back, it was dark already and he was heavily drunk. 
He shouted on the gateman to take me inside the house since I was sleeping already.
The gateman took me to my room upstairs and laid me on my bed with Benny still in my arms. 
Some minutes later, I felt something on my skin. I opened my eyes, only to see daddy on my bed. 
"Daddy what are you doing in my room?" I asked but got no reply. 
He kept staring at my skin. He then started touching me again. I wasn't comfortable, so I tried to stand up from the bed. He held my right hand and dragged me back on the bed. He removed his shirt and started touching me again, I started feeling pains as he pressed me with his hands that I shouted. He slapped me, torn my dress and covered my mouth with his right hand. I was helpless, I didn't know what he was doing to me but whatever it was, I didn't like it, it was just too painful.
