Part 7
After treating her hand, they decided to have a serious discussion with her...
"Oyin...what exactly is going on with you? It's barely 6months we met and ever since then, you haven't really told us anything about you and we never stop caring for you. So, tell us now won't change anything. You just have to trust us. What has been happening to you? So that we can help you. You can't continue to watch or act like nothing is going on. Confide in us Oyin" Mrs Tokunbo said
"Mummy, I have always wanted to do that but.... I am so sorry; I might not be able to do that now. I love you both and I want you to stay alive and healthy. I guess this is the part of my destiny, I have to face it alone..." Oyinade said as she was crying
"Is anyone threatening you? Mr Tokunbo asked. She nodded in affirmation as she was sobbing
"Tell us who and what the person wants from you. We are ready to help" Mrs Tokunbo said
"I am sorry....I...can't tell you..." She said and cried
"For how long have this been going on? And how old are you now? Mr Tokunbo asked
"I am 20years old and it has been going on for 6years until I ran away" Oyin said soberly
"Do you want to share with us? Share your burden with us my dear Oyin" Mrs Tokunbo said
Oyinade was about to speak out but the last words of her mother and the fear she indulges in her, made her kept silent for a while and she said "He left us alone and she loved me until, I became 12years of age. Then everything changed all the care and affection. I began to seek after death daily but, it seems to be far away from me. I lost my voice and now, I am trying to arrange the pieces but she showed up and she wants me back. Back into the cage, she is ready to tear it apart again"
"Hmm...Who is the He and who is the She? Mr Tokunbo asked
"They are someone closer to me" Oyinade said as tears were dropping from her eyes
"What about your parents, do they know about this? Mrs Tokunbo asked.
Oyinade looked up at her and fell on her knee as she was weeping. They tried raising her up but they could not.
"Did I say anything wrong or are your parents died? Mrs Tokunbo asked being confused
"I wish they are....I wish I know someone else I can tell it out to, expect you. I don't want her to hurt you both, is there a way out? Oyinade asked and wept
"My darling girl, there is someone you can tell it all to. Even before you speak, he knows the intent of your heart" Mrs Tokunbo said as she looked at her
