SUSAN TOLD RAYLINE WHAT SHE FINDS OUT ABOUT THE SYSTEM
I did not realize we are in a system that you must give something to have what you want. After I had left my parent, I meet a friend of mine, who was my course mate and her name is, Lucy. Lucy was indeed a good friend to me while I was still in school and we shared almost everything. Lucy takes me in and I squat with her. In the course of searching for a job, I face many s****l harassments from Managers and Directors of companies to whom I attempted to submit applications. In all the offices I enter; I face harassment, especially with the people who were supposed to be in the position of giving me a job. Some of the young men give me the condition that they can only offer me a job when they have carnal knowledge of me.
“I will explain what that means my daughter”, Susan told Rayline, “I mean, the condition is, they want me to have s*x with them.” Yes, this may sound very odd to you my daughter, but I have to tell you now, because you will grow up to become a woman like you and me may likely face this challenge, and I need to prepare. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. You are my pride and I would not want your destiny to slide off the right path to experience the glorious moment of conjugal bliss.
I did not stop searching for a job; nevertheless, I became frustrated, as things were not going in the direction I had thought before leaving my parent.
On a fateful day, after much search for a job, my search was not successful. I was now thinking of starting something little, even if it is a petty business, instead of just searching for a job and not finding any. This idea sounded nice to me, but how do I start without capital? The very day I had this thought, I left one of the offices that entered along King’s Avenue in frustration. The Secretary of Management instructed me to check back. Therefore, I assumed in my heart, maybe he wants me to meet face to face with the Managing Director. Nevertheless, when I came back, he took me to see the Managing Director who is a very young handsome man. I thought I have met an angel that will come to my rescue, however, his condition remains the same with the others whom I have had the experience of them wanting to sleep with me before offering me a job. He attempts to rape me and I narrowly escape him. My frustration increases as I was now feeling as if I am under a course that spurs up men to have a lustful thought wanting to have s*x with me.
“Do you know what my little angel?” Susan said to her daughter Rayline, “I uphold a religious status that does not permit me to have s*x with a man who is not my husband. However, the world is now giving me the condition to give up that which I have preserved for a very long time. I cannot just give my virginity to a man who is not my husband. I realize how inconsiderate men have become and they will do anything to satisfy their selfish motive. I have narrowly escaped many men who are ravenous wolves, ready to devil their prey like a wild predator.”
Rayline my daughter, I do not want you to have my kind of experience in life. Nevertheless, your pregnancy made my parent disown me. However, I see you as the best thing that has happened to me, because you are my companion and my comfort.
As I was talking to you before I digress…
When I had left the vicinity of the office where the Manager almost rapes me, I was walking home to the place I squatted with my friend Lucy. Lucy loves her privacy and I was beginning to see myself as interrupting that. Lucy has a boyfriend who often visits her. When he visits, I have to excuse them, even at the time, I needed to rest. While I was trekking home, I got lost in thought, wishing God would send me a helper. Immediately, a car reverses and parked right in front of me with tinted glasses. I was afraid because I thought, someone has come to kidnap me since there have been recurring kidnapping cases in the course of this period. I was the glass wind down from the direction of the driver. It is a convertible beautiful car. When I peeped into the car, I saw a very handsome look man, he should be in his early thirty from his look, though, I am only assuming. He speaks to me out of his car without coming down says,
“Hi, Beautiful, my name is Bob”
The person in the exotic car after introducing himself to me, ask, “Are you going my direction?” and I answered, “Which direction are you going sir?” and Bob said, “You do not need to know the direction I am going, I can drop you wherever you are going, that was why I drove back after passing you. I sighted you from a distance before I drove past you and it was as if, I received a call from you. Did you call me and request for a lift in your thought?”
I replied to him, “I may not know what I did, however, I wish in my heart someone stops and give me a lift because I am already drenched in sweat as a result of the heat of the scorching sun. However, I am heading toward Queen’s Clinic Avenue.”
Besides, he said to me, “You can come into the car. Sorry, for the harsh and sunny weather, I wish I could have it changed before I meet you. Nevertheless, it is a perfect design to connect us. Nice, meeting you beautiful. However, I have not known your name.”
Moreover, I answered him, “My name is Susan”. Immediately I told him my name, I felt tingling in my heart with the impressions of butterflies, even when I tried resisting the thought, I found myself wishing, I have a man like Bob. This was how I met your dad.
