Incomplete - Episode 8

 

****Bea Inside looked all cozy with dim bulbs showing different colours of light; I fell in love immediately with the decorations.

The celebrant seems to be very rich because everything inside smells rich and carefully selected colors which adorned the place.

I saw the celebrant smiling broadly to whatever the man standing beside her is whispering to her ears; no doubt she is very beautiful

"Am loving this party already� Benita shouted to my ears �we are really gonna rock it"

I just nod my head knowingly.

"How did your mom meet that kinda young girl"

she asks motioning to the young celebrant

"I have no idea, maybe a daughter to one of her friends; please let's enjoy this party in peace"

She just nod and start moving her body in rhyme with the music blasting from the loud speakers I smiled and joined her in dancing, 

"I love dancing"

we picked wine from the s*xy waitress walking around with the wine smiling to everybody Benita gulped down the wine immediately and shaked her head this

"is really strong"

she whispers looking at the glass as if to find answers from the poor glass.

Few seconds from taking the wine she started dancing like a crazy woman, before she was operating in gear one but now she has upgraded it to hundred

Noticing that, I guarded her to a chair nearby despite her struggle I succeeded in reaching the chair without us causing much scene

"so much of a party"

I whispered to myself gulping down my own glass of wine

"Follow me"

my mom demands with twitched face and dragged me, I scampered hurriedly and followed her lead

"Mom what of Benita"

I try to ask.

"Don't worry she will be well taken care of"

she states still dragging me roughly I looked back and saw one heavily built man that just lifts Benita up as if she is just a baby;

"don't you dare" my mom says immediately as if she read my mind

"Sit down here and wait for me"

she states and left I sat down quietly but stood up to join the toast for the celebrant, everybody was carrying their wine but I was with nothing.

I looked around to know if there is anything that can make up for it but seeing nothing I gave up.

"Maybe I could help"

a man in his early forties says motioning slowly towards me

"lets share"

he says and shared the wine he was carrying, I collected the wine from him and we clicked our glasses to long life for the celebrant The first sip of the liquid gave me a soothing relief that burned down my throat; it tastes so good that I gulped it down immediately.

The anonymous man gave me his own glass which I happily collected and gulped it down again

"You like it"

he asks

"I love it"

I answer.

He motions to a guy standing near us which I didn't notice to bring us another same wine.

He nods and went to the bar where he got a shiny bottle which I know nothing of the name but I know it must be expensive He opened and poured out the wine for me,

"oh what a gentleman"

I thought as I took the wine smiling sheepishly.

I continued taking glasses upon glasses till I felt all my limbs go numb; by now the music that is playing is very slow and I saw couples swinging side by side dancing; I looked at them with pain because that was literally the dance my Dad promised me on my wedding day; I bet he noticed my look and gave it a wrong interpretation, he stood up and stretched his hands forth

"Do you mind dancing with me"

Without any thinking I took his hands and joined him on the dance floor, I was not enjoying the dance but I felt that's all I need that night.

We danced for few minutes when I felt his hand checking my back side

"what the hell is this man doing, he is old enough to be my father"

I removed his hand politely and made to go but he held me strongly.

I wanted to move but all my reflex muscles failed me

"you look so beautiful in this dress, I never believed your mom when she said that you are this beautiful yet have not slept with any guy before; just come with me and I will be gentle"

All that he said were like lullaby to my ears as I start closing my eyes, I have the urge to flee but no physical strength to fight.

I can see my mom smiling triumphantly drinking her red wine, I felt myself lifted up as sleep finally took over me.

******

I stirred again as I felt movement beside me,

"good morning sunshine, I brought morning food to you on bed; just get up okay and eat"

I kept looking at my mom wondering the sudden sweetness but that will be later because I am dam hungry.

I rolled over the blanket that was used in covering and the cold breeze that rushed over me brought to my notice that I was stark naked with the sharp pain I was feeling at my lower abdomen Noticing the look on my face she brought the hot tea closer to my lips

"I know it hurts baby girl but you made your first money just by that, just take this tea and you will feel relieved"

I dumped myself back on bed as the hazy memories of last night played on my head bringing ho tears to my face.

I felt helpless and weak, my phone rang immediately showing that Benita, my mom grabbed the phone immediately and rejected the call

*******

Don't touch the dial, I am still coming #winks
