"Is it my fault that my parents don't like me kainene, is it", she asked amidst tears.

"Tell me what's wrong with you", I asked.

"My.....my parents they don't care about me, my dad always sees fault in everything I do because am the only child and am a girl while he wanted a boy",she paused and allowed her tears to go down freely.

"He fights  with my mom always beats her up and doesn't respect her cause am a girl"

"I have been experiencing this since I was five cause I knew what was actually going between them, they couldn't tolerate each other so they divorced and my mom kept blaming me for causing the separation between her and her husband nevertheless I like with both of them I mean one month with my mom then the other with my dad"

"I recently got introduced into this cause it is said that it helps you get over your problems and I guess it does for a while",she said letting out a sigh.

Who would suspect that this girl that is always smiling is going through all these, life is really not a bed of roses.

"I also know you are going through something ", she said and I was stunned.

       How did she know.

"You usually look weak"
"From the day you stepped into the class I knew something was bothering you"

"What is it?", She asked looking up at me even with the tears in her eyes, I could still sense care in her voice as she spoke.

I hesitated for a while but later gave in.

"Am....am"
"No I can't", I broke down and started crying.

     No you can't be weak kainene.
     Just tell her.
    She means no harm.

The voice kept saying in my head.

"I am being abused by my uncle", I said and caught my breadth which I didn't know I was holding.

"What!", She said with hands in her mouth.

" It's very shameful but normal for girls to go through", she said.

"You say normal ke", I asked.

"Yes na"

" There was even a girl in class who was abused just once but kept on thinking about it and killed herself out of depression"

"See a girl child is prone to face many things and have you told anybody" she asked after saying all she said.

"No I haven't"

"But you need to talk to someone else about it", she said wiping her tears.

" Try this and you notice you will forget everything for now", she said stretching it out to me.

I didn't hesitate to collect it as I tried it , I didn't feel good at that instant but I got carried away after that and it felt good to remove all your worries for a while.
