Someone once said, "You never know the true character of a man until you test him with power". Or was it my Government/History teacher, Mr Uchenna who made this statement during one of his many wonderful lessons? Right now I didn't even care to find out, my brain wasn't thinking the proper way as Bridget cries rose in solemn pleas and frequent utterances of 'please', 'don't'; they sounded as a beautifully constructed remix of some of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson hit tracks. The power surge through my body that moment could power at least 3 houses on our streets, at least Mr Nwafor, Mrs Tobenna and Uncle John house which had just a few ceiling fans, light bulbs and no television. In that moment, I felt like one of my favourite heroes, Major General Agunyi Ironsi.
As I forced my way through and smelt the blood from her private part from the forceful penetration, I remembered when my Grandma said, "The end of happiness is ushered the smell of blood". Is this what Obinna and Ejiofor called being a Man? I wish I could be forever young. But there is no going back when you have tasted the bearded meat in-between a woman's thigh, so I continued thrusting. In the end, a part of me died during this act.
"Who are those and what are you doing there?", a voice brought me back to reality as I was already lost in a confused chain of thoughts. It was Pastor Nduka, Nneka's Father, the Principal. Immediately we took to our heels and I almost forgot the way home as I ran boxers down out of the bush. I got home, found out Papa and Mama haven't returned from the market and quickly used that opportunity to wash my clothes, take my bath, and forcefully put myself to sleep.
Tomorrow would be another day but I woke up to a weird situation that had me in the centre of it all.
