Incomplete - Episode 9

 

Bea

Nora (My Mom) opened my phone, removed my sim card and broke it “will have to change your number from now; we have more business to handle, no side distractions”

“but Mom….” I made to argue

“No but” she sat down near me “listen sweet heart, this is our ticket to bright future; your father left us penniless and we have to struggle to make ends meet”

The thought of our separation with my Dad brought tears to my eyes, I still miss my Dad and the feelings that I caused their separation made it hard holding back my tears

“awwnn, don’t cry my love; just join me and we will make it together; this whole world will be all ours” she cuddle me for a while before leaving claiming she has a business to take care of

“Just take your tea, enter the bathroom and take your bath with the warm water; ignore the pain it will go soon” with that she blew me a kiss and left

I drank the hot tea and slowly walked to the bathroom; I entered the bathtub and immersed myself in the warm water. Tears flows down freely from my eyes, I am not crying because of what happened but I never got to know how first times went like; that was my only regret then . I had many thoughts of how I will want my first night to be but its for the best shaa, I have money now

I sat down in front of the mirror applying my cream; I turned my searching eyes around the room

.  I really need to talk to Benita; she is the only person that will understand my pains

I ransacked my wardrobe looking for my small phone, the first phone I ever used. I almost gave up the search but later found the phone where it slipped down under my cloths; luckily for me there is sim card inside the phone, I plugged it to the light and waited impatiently for it to charge

“Hello” Benita answers with a sleepy voice, she picked at the second ring

“Hy Benita, its me Britni”

“Hey B, have been calling your number since but it has not been connecting”

“yes, it’s a long story…”

“Wait, how did we get home last night?”

“will tell you that but……” I hesitated

“talk baby girl, what is it”

“Benita I have lost my innocence” I blurted out crying as the weight of what actually happened downed on me

“tell me the gist, was it Cally; was that why you sent me home early”

“No”

“Wait are you crying, what happened” she ask and I can feel the urge to help burning through her voice

“my mom….”

“your mom did what” she asks interrupting me

My door clicked open and Nora came in demanding the phone from

“Hello……. Hello… hello” Benita continued shouting from the other end “don’t worry, I am coming over there; just stay put” with that she ends the call and Nora angrily smashed my phone

“I told you no outside communication”

I kept quiet looking at her

 “she is coming right”

I just nod

My silence infuriated her “just dam answer me”

“yes she is coming” I murmured

“okay then, that will be our chance; tell me immediately she gets here”

She left, I laid down thinking of what actually happened; the urge to eat overwhelmed me and I trailed down slowly to the kitchen

“add this to the food, I guess she likes Bread fruit and that will be the perfect plan”

“Ok mah”

“What!! I shouted before realizing that I have slipped myself from my hiding place making myself visible

Nora came to where I was standing and gave me a resounding slap that almost formatted my brain

“Mother” I shouted with tears flowing down for the second time in a day just because of my mom; at that moment I wished I was all grown up and fit to fight my mom back

“forget whatever you heard in there and act as if everything is normal, if you act otherwise then I am out for you” 

I am watching you

We looked immediately at the same time towards the door as we heard the doorbell, Mr. P our chef cum house keeper came and told us that a girl named Benita is at the door

“go inside, freshen up and come downstairs to keep her company; remember anything funny and you will regret it”

I went upstairs like a puppy and when I came down I saw my Bestie eating her death…… Oh how I wish I have that willing strength I would have talked then and face the consequences later

Benita died because of me and am still living with the guilt till now; after that episode we relocated, Nora worked our out I guess with what she called being smart

I worked with her for ten years, doing all sort of works sleeping with any kind of man that she brings as a client until I decided that I have made of enough money to stand on my own. The image and memory of Benita never allowed me to continue after that; I enrolled in part time school, graduated and here I am now known as Beatrice but still my Mom still haunts me with my nude video. I have been falling for that bait continuously which is threatening to my personality but now I am tired of that, maybe I need to do something……..

*******

I cleaned the strands of tears off my face and closed my diary that always take me back down the memory lane, I hate the tears it brought to my eyes but the constant episode with my mom is making me feel as if am powerless but am Beatrice, I can handle it right; I asked my portrait which was just looking back boldly at me.

I finished up the files on the table, packed my belongings and left for my house

****** Hey, hope we are communicating #winks#
