She Wakes Her Up #1
It is never too late for anyone to discover his/herself in life. Discovering this talent of writing makes me feel elated...
On the immediate that she sets her eyes on him, she has loved him. She has been new in
The environment and was looking for someone who will be her companion, albeit, as her
Parents had taught her, she should always seek for person of the same sex to be
In companionship with than being in the companion of someone of the opposite sex. This
They had hammered to her when She was ten years old, because her mother wants her to
Make it early in life and would not want her to fall into the pit she had fallen to when she was
Young, she does not want her to make the same mistake that she had made thence, she had
Repetitively narrated to her, her bitter experience in life, which eventually becomes a clog to
The wheel of her progress in life. When her mother was young, she used to find comfort and
Pleasure in the companionship of the opposite sex than in the company of people of the
Same sex as her. She continued to grow in this environ and had been raised up like that,
Thence she usually disdains the companionship of people of the same sex as her, in fact she
Used to flee them like plague and had considered this normal in her life. To this, her
Parents too never raise an eyebrow, they never talked to her on this, for they also thought
All children are children, whether males or females and had not been suspicious of anything
Thinking of the danger that such may pose to their daughter in the nearest future of her
Life. They considered those children to have been raised up by moral standing parents like
Them who would tell their children that they should treat all well, irrespective of gender, and
Should value people of opposite sex they are in companionship with. But they were sore
Mistaken in this belief of theirs and this they shall get to know about verily later when what
They had not expected happened unto their daughter while in the companionship of her male

Friends. It had happened on a Saturday evening when their daughter was in woods in the
Company of her male friends, they usually go to the place to play, and thence when they were
Headed for the place, no one thinks of any foul play, neither imagining that they had some
Mischievous agenda for the teenage girl who was in their company. While they were in the
Woods playing those guys had ganged raped her such that she became unconscious and she
Was rescued by someone who was passing by and having known her in the neighborhood had
Taken her to her parents house. When they saw her she was taken to the nearby cottage
Hospital where the medical personnel on duty had worked on her for hours before bringing
Her around from the land of the unknown that her spirit has traveled to. After she has been
Revived then they told her parents that she had been gang raped and she narrated the
Incident to her parents. Her parents had gone to the houses of some of those guys and others
Who had accompanied them to perform the dastardly act with law enforcement agencies and
Had taken them to court. The case had pussyfooted in the law court for years, and at the
End of those years, the Jurist has struck out the case for no merit. However, in the
Meanwhile, the lady herself was full of shame while working around and hardly did she has
Friends in the neighborhood to be associated with again, for such in the island is a taboo.
She was stigmatized. Because of this She was unable to face her academics as she should
with her hearts wandering off the class and school on several occasions. This their teachers
Have noticed and had reported to her parents advising that she be taken to children
Psychologists to talk to her so that she will come out of the shock and would change her
Disposition and would forget the ugly incident that happened to her and would focus on
Her academics. Her parents did listen to her teachers and took the necessary steps
Including contacting the psychologists. They all come together to her aid, but their best
For her never yielded any positive results.
