NOLA'S TALE: RAPED AND BATTERED - EPISODE 4 [WRITTEN BY YELE]

Hello Madams and Sirs, how far na? How una dey? Today seem to be a great day for me, my elder brother just drove some kids enter this world this afternoon. Two bouncing baby boys....chai! E no easy oooo. Happy for him and congratulations to my family and then I bless the name of the Lord for the addition.  So, Incase you missed the last episodes, find the links ------>> HERE!!!

Welcome to the 4th episode:

After getting myself together, the lawyer bid and wished me farewell and good luck respectively. Then did I decide what to do first.
"Ever since mum died, I never went through her things. I think now is the time. I'll start with mum's things on errrmmm....today's what? Thursday? Ok by Monday I'll start then whenever I finish I'll go to dad's and then the attic room. There should be something to help me there"

I sniffed after telling Temmy or the maid or whoever was listening to that. Turning to head up to my room, a sudden chill filled me. Memories kept flooding my head. How mum ceased to be in the home 3years ago and how dad joined her so soon. Life's so miserable. I feel like dying!
Temmy - "Nola are you alright?"
Me - "You must be silly!"

Only one person left calls me Nola and tis Temmy. Never knew I said that out even his presence was unknown to me. I uttered something like an apology and continued moving. Then I felt his presence more. He was saying something I couldn't hear. I was far from the present. Entering my room, it was like I was there yesterday. The maid has done a great job I thought to myself. As if Temmy read my thoughts, he said the same thing.
Me - "Since my room isn't dusty I guess I'll start with mum's room. Besides, the day's still young" as I told Temmy this, I thought of hugging him before bidding my farewell and saying whatever comes out of my mouth.
Temmy - "Nola, I wouldn't allow you do the rooms alone, we'll do them together, I'll obey whatever rules you have and I won't open anything before you do"

I've always trusted his instincts so I just followed suit like a puppy while we entered mum's room. The place has been shut for a while. It's dusty but I still feel her presence in there. Sighing, I picked up a duster to shove off a web on the way to her drawer. It was like she saw her death or knew she was going to die. Everything was properly arranged. I saw a stack that drew my attention, I tried lifting it but it was heavy as lead. Temmy helped me put it on a desk. I sneezed as I opened it and when I did, it was a surprise!

Mum's diaries from 24years back until 3years ago before her death! What could be in these books? I opened the 1st one which is the most recent to check her last entry which read thus:
"Take good care of yourself Ibi N. Tyler; also make Temmy Michaels happy for you both have a great future ahead. With love from Mom"

It was dated 29/6/2011. A day before mum's death and two days to my 20th birthday. One thing was evident from all these; mum knew she was going to die. With trembling hands, I head for the nearest seat. Temmy looked into what gave me my nightmare and was as shocked as I. He asked we continue to check the rest. Deciding to start from the oldest which was dated october 9th 1990 - her birthday. On a Tuesday. The first line in red!

...to be continued!!!
