chapter 1 : the curse begins Am Takunda Mapindu, the only girl child in our family. I know you think l was the luckiest kid but no l wasn't lucky . l sat under the scotching hot sun peeling the potatoes so l could prepare a tantalizing meal for my father . My inert brothers ,Tapiwa and Tinashe played video games in the living room. Mother came back from work earlier than the other days . I ran to greet her and she looked exhausted " Good afternoon mother." l said politely She hugged me and said " Good day my daughter. Did you eat anything." she asked l nodded my head and took her bag inside. I felt feeble and felt a strong headache. I had to stay strong for my mother. Late that day father cane home inebriate. He always acted temerarious when drunk . I greeted him and he acted as if he didn't hear my greeting. Hours later l heard cries and a scream . It was my mother and l knew father was beating her again. I looked at my two brothers but it seemed as if they didn't hear anything. I ran upstairs and saw mother laying lifeless on the ground and next to her was a sharp knife. l couldn't stop crying and father picked up the knife and threw it away. I reached out for my smartphone to call the cops but he snatched it and smashed it . I cried a cry without sound. Was my mother really dead ? My useless good for nothing brothers knew nothing. The worst began when he bribed the police and making me feel helpless. Her funeral took place the day felt heavy for me . She had left a black mark in my mind . The place was boisterous because of people mourning and singing. I couldn't stay like that forever. I saw my mother die . 3 days later The days passed and life started showing its true colors. Father stormed in my room holding my small tattered bag . He looked at me and said " Pack your things . This house belongs to my sons not some useless girl child." The ball l was bouncing rolled under the table . My hands were shaking and chest felt like someone had locked all the air in the room . I couldn't breathe " Girls don't inherit in our culture." he said impolitely. He left my room . I broke into tears . Who would wipe them up . I felt a darkness dossing around me . I had lost all sense of hope , trapped in a nightmare from which l couldn't wake up from . love you guys WILL TAKUNDA OVERCOME THIS
