Although I was a little girl, I remember it like yesterday. My name's Riya, the only child of my widowed mother, My father died when I was just two years
I'm 7 years now, due to the exit of my father, my Mom took care of me like I was her life.We would do everything together, she was more like my sister than my mother due to the kind of relationship we shared
Every night, my mother would always tell me a story, buh out of every story she told me, I always looked towards to hearing her talk about MADURAI (The goddess of moon) she was belived to appear every full moon nights, I've always looked forward to seeing her in person
Everyone didn't believe in MADURAI buh my mother did, according to her The goddess of moon saved her during childbirth, it was a full moon night, when she gave birth to me because her pregnancy was really complicated buh she insisted on keeping me. She told me she saw her even though she was in extreme labour pains.
When I turned 9 years old, I grew a strong love for MADURAI, I really wanted to see her, so every night I would divide my dinner into two and take one half to a road where the full moon is always visible, believing I would see her one day. Every morning I would find an empty plate, I was so delighted because she's really liking me to be eating my food
This went on for three months, until one day my mom's sister gave birth, so she has to leave me with our neighbor to go and be with her. On the fateful day it turned out that the man whom my mom had left me with,had an important work, he left leaving only me. I was bored so I went to play, after playing to my satisfaction, I went inside and I slept off.
I woke up really late in the night, the only thing I could think of was MADURAI, she must be really hungry, so I took my dinner buh I didn't share it this time. I took all of it to her, it was a full moon night that day
After dropping the plate, I decided to wait and hide to see if she could come,buh to my greatest surprise, it was Mohamed Sanu. The village tout he was known for kidnapping children and sells them to the white men
There I stood, so frightened that I almost wet my pants, Run! Run! that was the only thing I could think of. I was about to run when I feel down, I guess he heard me and ran to my with his friend, his torchlight was flashed to my face, hurting my eyes so badly
I remember he hit me with something on my head, I felt so dizzy buh still conscious, Then the wind started to blow so furiously, the sand raising was an evidence of the strong wind. The next thing I saw was a huge, beautiful and shinny person, so adorable and full of blue shining armor.I can't remember anything because I was still feeling dizzy buh the last thing I remember was her smiling at me, I tried to smile back
"There she was MADURAI, the woman I've been longing to see for years" I passed out
The woke up, my mom was crying and yelling out my name, she realized I was conscious she hugged me so tight, I was scared she would yell at me
Buh it turned out that I was found at the backyard, so they thought I passed out because I slept in the cold, blaming the neighbor who had left me all alone......

Now I'm 18years,buh I still remember it like yesterday, I got to meet her in person buh in a dizzy State, I really felt sad. Buh at least I got to know that spirit don't eat food like we humans.
