Diary of An African Girl
#WritcoStoryChallange
Chapter 1
Some say all memories have their one way of occurring, I say some are meant to be left in the past and belongs there.
It was just a normal day filled with tiredness and happiness but one never knows what to look forward for the day. Being a happy and humbled girl was all I knew and lived by; having to show my elders respect was one of my important responsibilities. As normal as the day was who would have thought that it will end with tragic memories.
“Go romiwa ebe ile ntwe ke tsebang mara that day be kesa nagane gore ke tlo ba part of the rape victims” (being sent was all I knew but I never thought that day I was going to be one of the rape victims).I never thought just allowing one person gore a rome be ke tlo felela ke khatiwa mara ke tlo reng ke bophelo re phelela go ruta (that being sent will lead to me to being raped but what can I say it’s life we live to learn).Just a few minutes’ walk lead to me being raped in the toilet of one of my most beloved shops being someone that sent me to buy him something, he said “well girl, don’t stress yourself I’ll give you one of the best payment and you won’t regret it”. He started by kissing me later that lead to him undressing me, he made sure that I never screamed because I was just 8 years of age. I guess he didn’t see any problem with that because he is used to it since he is used to making innocent girls his victims.
After he finished what he was doing, he just said “well, that was just a fair payment”. He started violating me sexually because he knew that if the news that I wasn’t a virgin broke (spread out) the reputation of my family was going to be ruined since a lot of people respected us and always had looked up to. He never bothered to think about how I felt because he took away my childhood, all that he cared about was his manhood or must I say ‘matswai’ (salted), but that’s not a reason to take an innocent child’s virginity like she is still young actually a child why would you actually do that and expect her to act as if everything is okay with her whilst nothing is okay with her. The feeling of feeling dirty and ashamed about how my family will feel after finding out about this haunted me but well it’s never the end.
MESSAGE:IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO SENDS YOU TO THE SHOPS AND GIVES YOU A PAYMENT,ONE DAY THAT PERSON WILL LOCK YOU IN THE TOILET AND RAPE YOU.BE CAREFUL OF WHO YOU SURROUNG YOURSELF WITH.
