₹ PRELUDE....
THIS STORY IS DEDICATED TO EVERY WOMAN OUT THERE, JUST KNOW THAT OUT OF A BILLION YOU SHINE BRIGHTER, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE YOU❤
Sarah had her eyes fixed up the ceiling, the way one will look to give heaven a gentle smile.
She has been locked in this position without a single word for straight Two hours, and even Timini has miraculously been quiet the whole time watching his mother. Who said babies weren't super gods?
As if to break the silence which seemed to never end, Sarah's 6 months old todler, Timini made his baby cooing sounds obviously to distract his mother and then let out a loud cry.
For a second Sarah seemed to regain saneness.
She stood, quickly walking, throwing one leg in a limp in a fashion the 'Ekombi' dancers from Calabar do to the bed head where Tinimi was neatly tucked in his 'Ankara Star Lappa'. Mama had brought it the first time she visited, she said only people of caliber tied Star lappas in the village, so she gave it to her grandson because he will become " A Big Man" in her words.
Sarah scooped Timini, walked back to her chair, sat unbuttoning her T-shirt and fixing her nipples into Timini's tiny mouth... Sarah had her eyes up again...
•••The previous day
"Mama Timini, the next time i bring my girlfriend here and you confront her ehh i will destroy your face, useless thing"
"I made a terrible mistake getting married to you, look at you, look at your hair, Tah you stink, you can't even take care of yourself, only one child and your belly is all stucked out and fat, i cannot even introduce you to my friends because you are embarrasing"
"See let me tell you, sarah responded admist sobs pointing a finger towards her husband (Horseband), you will not disrespect me like this Tunde, what have i done to you? Was my crime giving you a son? Yes i went through motherhood and you expect me to look the same?
Tunde i look tattered because you made me so, a woman is a garden and a husband is meant to groom and nourish her, if he doesnt, she becomes grown and wild, that is my state"
Tunde fumes uncontrollably, "So woman you have the boldness to talk to me, before i return from work tomorrow, pick your thrash and LEAVE MY HOUSE, let me see how you survive"...
...Back to the present
Timini had fallen asleep while sucking breastmilk.
Sarah held her son and smiled speaking loudly
" Because i am a woman, they call me good for nothing,
because i am a woman, i have been subjugated and denied my voice, but NO i must not give in, I am strong, i am a woman of substance and value and i will do whatever it takes to make a name for us, *YES I WILL SURVIVE!!!"
She lays Timini aside, packs up her belongings.... EXITS

Greetings friend @sikan-eyen
Interesting story about the courage of a woman to be courageous in the face of the pretensions of insults from the one who was her beloved, being left alone taking care of a small son.
Thank you for your entry to the contest.
