It was around 10pm aunty Stella came back, have prepared dinner already, bath the kids, feed them and pet them to sleep, I quickly had dinner before she gets back, cos I have that feeling she won’t want to give me food that night, I turned on the TV so as not to sleep off even though I was feeling sleepy, cos I know if she gets back and knock and I don’t open the door quick, nah die be that, I focused on the programmm I was watching then I heard a knock at the door…ko…ko..ko
Me: Who is that?
Aunty Stella: Are you mad? You are asking the owner of the house who is that, if  you don’t open this door now ehn u re dead she threatened..
Chai, I don enter am, I ran as fast as I could towards the door, immediately I opened the door, I never even commot my hand from the handle, she landed me a very dirty slap, gbosaa!! At first I thought they were singing jingle bell in my ears…. She pushed me away, I fell on the floor holding my cheek, tears dropping down my check……
Aunty Stella: Next time you ask me such stupid question you will be in soup and by the way where are my kids?
Me: Still in tears, they are sleeping ma.
Aunty Stella: Have you prepared dinner and what did u prepare?
Me: Vegetable soup and semovita ma…I was still shaking trying to avoid another slap.
Aunty Stella: So what did my children eat cos they dont eat semo.
Me: I prepared indomie for them ma.
Aunty Stella: With a angry and suspicious face….have you eaten?
Like say I don know I thought in my mind.
Me: No ma, was waiting for your arrival, l lied.
Aunty Stella: God save you cos u re not eaten in this house tonight, that’s your punishment.
Me: Yes ma.
I didn’t even argue with her cos I knew have eaten to my satisfaction, nah God say make I don chop o, so nah so this woman no go give me food.
Aunty Stella: Serve my food, and I don’t want to see you around, after serving my food carry that your yeye body to your room.
Me: Yes ma.
I ran to the kitchen served her food and went to my room, I looked at myself in the mirror again,mguess the mirror is my only friend for now, I was in tears cus I knew this is just the beginning, many question crossed my mind, why is aunty Stella treating me this way? Have she been pretending all this while, God you have to save me, my mind flashed back to nurse titi it been a while I saw her, I dont even have a phone talk more of having her number, how do I get to her, or maybe she is busy, I find it hard to sleep that night, I could not sleep but I had to force myself to………
I woke up very early as possible to avoid another problem, it was a Sunday morning, I knew Aunty Stella is not the church type, ever since I have gotten to her house we have not gone to church, and I felt I need to go to church that Sunday even though I don’t know which church to go cos an not familiar with the area well enough, but I know I will see someone to direct me . I did all the house chores as quick as possible, cooked breakfast, bath the children and feed them, it was about 7:30 but aunty Stella was still sleeping
