Why is life so cruel to me? Part 4 (Ama's Comeback)
<p>For days, I was in a state of shock. I sustained severe injury that didn't seem to heal. I cried and cried my heart out asking God why he allow these evil people have their way always but then it occured to me.....</p><p> "Faith without work is dead"</p><p>I can actually do something. I was tired because around the neighborhood, the eyes of stigmatization peered at me. Well, I didn't do anything I am just a girl trying to survive in this harsh world. My mum stayed by me but she got tired and couldn't hold it any longer that she lashed on me of the days. Said I was foolish to have entered their car in the first place. She was right tho, I was naive, too trusting and in quest for comfort and luxury.</p><p> So I planned. Not revenge — exposure. I was going to expose Dave and his friend and all they've done to me.</p><p>"How do you think this is going to work?" Kiara asked. </p><p>Kiara is a very good friend of mine who has always been there when I needed her. She was an epitome of beauty. Both face and body card, she got em. I mean she turns head everywhere she goes. She was going to be not necessarily a bait but somebody I can use to get back at this people. Before then I've told my mum to notify the police. I also talked to my pastor's wife who's also like mother to me and she listened to me and afterwards prayed with me and told me she's right behind my plans.</p><p> I reassured Kiara that everything would work out fine if she played her role very well. She was a bit scared but since her best friend became a victim, she really want to see to the end of it. Mama Okpe was aware of the plan as well. She was actually scared because she wouldn't want my mum to hear she encouraged me to hop into strangers car. At least they have a good relationship.</p><p> This rotten niggas normally pass that street. From what I observed when I went to their place, they work from home. They go out just to have fun. Dave doesn't own a company. It was all lies! He just wanted to buy my heart by buying what I sold and acting so rich and mighty.</p><p>"If he has been doing this to other girls and none has spoken up about it, then I will be a first!" I said to Kiara with tears in my eyes. I am very softhearted and emotional...why did this have to happen? Kiara kept consoling me and reassuring me it would be fine. I stopped hawking my pure water because I was so ashamed that I didn't want to show my face outside and it was hard on my mum. I just had to do something.</p><p> This fateful afternoon, Kiara was walking home from nowhere. It was part of the plan. I just followed behind. I had to really look different and be unidentifiable so I got an hijab; the only thing that hid my face so well and then I wore a mask and carried a bowl on my head like I was selling some hausas street food. Kiara kept walking down and stopped somewhere quiet distant from where Mama Okpe stays. She stood there, cleaning her sweat and trying to stop cars to take her home. "Are we sure they are going to pass?" Kiara called me to ask. I told her to have hope that I believe they would. The few times I met them, they came around in the afternoon or in the evening. </p><p> We kept rigmarolling and I could feel Kiara was tired. So I put a call through and told her we needed to go home. "Did they find out about our plot or somebody snitched?" Kiara laughed. She has this annoying laugh that sounds like a rage bait. She said I was funny that how's that even possible. That nobody knew them enough in the area and I shouldn't have such ridiculous thoughts. But then... alright let's be positive. We will try again tomorrow. </p><p> As I walked home, I kept thinking of appearing in Dave's dreams and choking him but then I changed my mind. He needed physical pain, the kind he put me through and he won't escape this.</p><p><br/></p>
