The deed

Episode 2

She found a clinic to have an abortion done. She wanted it discreetly done, so she asked her friend for help who referred her to a small sized clinic. She met with the doctor and arranged for the procedure to be done on Friday evening after work so she could rest over the weekend.

Friday evening, the clinic was scanty; only one nurse was available. She was called into the consulting room and the doctor asked her to remove her underwear for him to check her. She obeyed him and laid down. He placed her two legs in a bent position, lifted up her dress and ins××ted two of his fingers into her.
“Your cervix is tight. If we open it by force it will damage it.” She could feel his fingers in,side her. She felt something stroke her knob. He backed her before she could look closely at his hands.

“I brought this upon myself.” She said to herself.
“Let us go to the theatre. The procedure will be done there.”
She went to the theatre. The nurse gave her a flimsy gown in dark green colour to wear after she undressed. “Take off your bra too,” the nurse said to her. She was completely naked under the gown.
She laid down on the theatre bed and her legs were hung on elevated surfaces and tied. The base of the bed was removed and a bucket placed on the floor at the base of the bed. She was exposed. The nurse hurriedly left the theatre to call the doctor and also attend to others. He came in alone. He fixed a drip for her which she presumed was the anaesthesia. It dropped very slowly. He went to get ready for the procedure. He took a while to return. By this time she was very weak. She couldn’t move her hands or talk audibly. He stopped the drip and came between her legs.

“Let me check the cervix again.” This time around, she could see that he had no gloves on. He ins××ted his fingers again into her and she didn’t have the strength to object. She only tossed.

“Relax. What’s wrong with you? This cervix is too tight. I want to help you so it can be softened and we can do the procedure. Relax, stop tossing about.” He lifted up the gown which was held by ropes by the sides. He fondled her br××sts and then made her watch him bring out his manhood and started having s×× with her. Tears just flowed from her eyes. She came there to hide her shame and she was defiled yet again. After he ej×c×lated, he cleaned up and cleaned her up and then said to her.

“Now we can carry out the procedure.”

She summoned all the strength she could muster and shouted out, “NO!” before she collapsed again. She was very weak.
He was surprised. She kept tossing and turning as much as she could. He asked if she had changed her mind about the procedure, she nodded. He left her there and went away. She stayed there for two hours unattended to till the drug she was administered wore off. She managed to loosen the ropes, quickly dressed up and came out of the theatre. She met the nurse and asked after the doctor. She said he had left. She got a cab and went home.

Why would this happen to her twice? Why would she be raped two times? What was it about her that made men now want to rape her? Was it an omen? A curse upon her life? She began to wonder if she offended anyone. Or was it from …….
She was a believer. She turned to be one after several disappointments. She found out that Christian brothers did not know God talkless of fearing him. She remained in this new church because the pastor can see. She had wanted to watch him for some time before consulting with him. Now that this had happened, she needed to speak with him. Maybe what happened was to stop her from aborting the pregnancy. She needed a confirmation; a spiritual confirmation.

She went to the church. Luckily, there were very few people waiting to see him. When it was her turn, she met with him. She narrated her ordeal to him.
“Daddy, I am 35, no husband no children. I have played the part of wife, girlfriend and adviser for some men and it didn’t get me the position I longed for. I wasn’t promiscuous oh. Still other girls that were following men, even older married men have gotten married and have children.” She narrated further, “I met this man and we started dating. Sir, you won’t believe that he raped me. He invited me to a party, got me drunk and raped me. As if it was not bad enough, I am pregnant for him. I must confess, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to have a child from rape so I went to abort the pregnancy. The doctor too raped me. I am confused. I don’t know if God doesn’t want me to abort the pregnancy.”

“My dear sister, you have been through a lot. We will pray for you. You have s-ducing spirit. Any man you meet would have to have s×× with you. Do they come back for more s××?”

“Yes, sir. They do.”

“That is it. It means I am right. You will do fasting and prayer. I know a way that it can be removed from you fast fast but I don’t know if you will agree?”

“What way sir?”

“Do not worry. Let us pray first.” He started praying and casting out s-ducing spirit. “I cast out the spirit from her br××sts…” He placed his hand on her. When she didn’t object, he put it in,side her dress. She jumped up.

“What kind of rubbish are you doing?”

“My sister, you are “emere”; you are from the water. I need to deliver you so you can be free.”

“Is the emere in my bosom? Is it in the br××sts you were fondling?” She asked raising her voice.

“Lower your voice now. If I sleep with you, the emere will go forever. That is all the deliverance you need.”

“Get thee behind me satan! From frying pan to fire. I will not be used for your disgusting pleasures again. If you touch me, I will get you arrested.” She stood up and left the room. She was furious as she was walking out of the church. That is how some pastors sleep with members of their congregation. She can never be a part of that.

In her fury, she went to see her mother. She had been avoiding going to see her because she is believed to be a very stubborn woman. Her father claimed she was a witch but she didn’t care. She refused to put up with her father’s misbehaviour and left. She filed for divorce immediately and insisted she didn’t want him anymore. While separated, he moved another woman into the house. It was on that basis her mother was granted the divorce. She left their two children with him to train while she hustled to make something out of life for herself. She refused to remarry. She went back to school and was also doing business. Her father had gone through five women after her mother and was now on his own. He wanted her mother to come back but the woman refused. She narrated her ordeal to her mother. She listened with keen interest while shaking her head.

“I made a mistake leaving you with your worthless father to train Labake. You allowed men use you like this? How can a man rape you without weapon? You didn’t destroy everything? One even fell asleep when he was done and you ran away? You did not break all the bones in his body as he slept? After they will say I am a witch. Oya, tell me what you want me to do?”

“I don’t know ma. Please help me. I am pregnant for a man I currently despise and I don’t know what to do. Take me where they will tell me what to do; what God is saying.”

“Stop deceiving yourself. They will only tell you what you want to hear. Talk to God yourself but in the meantime, we have to treat some people’s f×¢k up. Just do what I say and don’t ever beg me. If you do, I will disown you as my child.”

“I will obey all you say ma. I will not disappoint you. I am tired.”

Sunday morning, mother and daughter are gorgeously dressed. They attend Labake’s church. They take a front seat. Labake is unaware of her mother’s plan. When it was time for testimonies, Mama Labake walked majestically to the front. She was given the microphone.
