“Oh my God what happened to him…what did you do yo my son” Monica and maid Lisa run over to his side but Tobi doesn’t want any of them to touch him

“I don’t want a woman’s touch… get away from me” he barks at them and the two women back away from him….he struggles to sit and he Does, his mother could tell his shirt was not properly buttoned, and he was a big disaster with traces of tears still in his used to be handsome face….Tobi struggles again to stand up with a support being his car, he finally stands and looks around to see everyone looking at him with shock all over

“What happened to you” Monica asks as calmly as possible coming to him but he tells her the last thing he wants is for her hands to touch him
“Mother stop asking too many questions and pay this man here fifty thousand shillings…. I owe him that”….. Monica ignores him and orders Lisa to settle the man but runs after Tobi who screams at her to not follow him, they all stand and watch him scrawling up the stairs like a baby…Monica can not stand there and watch her so ever upright son, who has been brought up with good morals turn into something else, something she has no idea what it is she runs back to the guy outside
” I demand to know….what did you do to my son ”
“You’re son is not sick, he was not beaten but he’s only drunk….he asked me to drive him home which I did for free by the way…so settle my bill for the drinks he took and I go” Monica looks at this man from head to toe and it’s still so hard for her to believe Tobi would go to this man’s bar

“How could my son end up in a place a man like you works in”
“Well you will have to ask him that when he gets sobber but right now I just need my money, Lisa comes back with the money in hand and hands it over to the man, he leaves Monica just shakes her Head unbelievably………..

Tobi gets into his room finally, it hits him the alcohol isn’t doing anything on him, he wanted to forget the ugly experience but it’s just stuck into his head like a movie displayed on a projector…. he tries to sit down on his bed, the bed he had made before leaving last evening, this was how Tobi’s life was….very neat and orderly and ever the perfect gentleman…..this breaks his heart even more, he falls to her knees and cries to God asking for forgiveness, he asks God to take him away so he can pay for his brutality…. he cries and realises nothing was working for him and he spots the dressing mirror, he staggers towards it and stands, so afraid to see himself, he finally gathers courage and does but he doesn’t see himself, he sees her face yes the woman he brutality raped, her tears so painfully flowing and she’s begging him not to continue, he hears the voice clearly but they because too many, the same person having too many voices saying different things and cursing him…. he tries to cover his ears so he won’t hear them but it’s only worse, he doesn’t know how he did it but with all the strength he could master, he smashes the glass with his new Samsung galaxy note and the sound the broken mirror made was like the clear water he needed to get him out of this bondage, all the crying and trembling stops, he stands still unstable though but vows to come out of this strong, he will do the right thing and he refuse to cry again……..
