Obstinate

By Lola Lois Raphael

Moments before my execution, I asked myself how I ended up like this. Was it because I lost my parents, had to live with the Hassans or because I’ve always had a bad streak in me? Anyway, I won’t regret my actions because it does no one any good especially me since I will face the gallows in a matter of minutes. I finally realized however, that with freedom comes responsibility and that I made my own choices and now I have to pay its dues.

Prologue

Moments before my execution, I asked myself how I ended up like this. Was it because I lost my parents, had to live with the Hassans or because I’ve always had a bad streak in me? Anyway, I won’t regret my actions because it does no one any good especially me since I will face the gallows in a matter of minutes. I finally realized however, that with freedom comes responsibility and that I made my own choices and now I have to pay its dues.

I don’t want anyone to remember me after I am gone except as a sort of horror stories mother should tell their children to desist them from making poor choices.

This is my legacy…

Chapter One

I lost my parents when I was 17 years old, freshly graduated from the secondary school then , all hopes of furthering my education ceased and my family members doesn’t really have much and even if they do no one is ready to take in an orphan girl. I stayed on my own for about three weeks and I could only be grateful for the fact that my parents owned the house we all lived in. I pretended as if everything was alright and even got myself a job, I still have hopes of attending Higher Institution but I know there won’t be any sponsor and I will have to do it by myself, so I resigned myself to my fate; get a job, start saving and hopefully I will save enough to enable me gain admission.

My parents had a family friend by the name Hassan, they are comfortable at least that was what I thought considering the fact that both the husband and the wife each has a car they drive, and their sons Ibrahim and Hassan jnr. are good friends of mine although I and Hassan are the same age but Ibrahim whom everyone except me, his parents and mine call HiBee doesn’t seem to mind being nice to a girl 3 years his junior. I really do like the Hassan boys and they like me too. When they heard about the incident that led to my parents’ demise they came to pay their condolences and I was with the eldest member of my father’s family then and I know they probably still believe I was living with him. The brothers do call me but I never once told either of them I was living all alone until I got caught by none other than Ibrahim.

I was coming back from work. I am now working as a sales girl for a guy down our street, he sells movies and as he goes to school in the mornings and only really available in the evenings I work for him. I was pretty much contended with my job at least that is me taking a step towards achieving my goals. I was walking back home when all of a sudden I heard my name being called, since this is my neighbourhood I merely turned thinking it is one of the guys in the area but my jaw dropped when staring right back at me was Ibrahim.

I can’t believe this, you told me you were living with your family members. We are in the house now and he is scolding me.

I never said I was living with them. I never said it in words I just made him believe that I was staying with one of them. I wasn’t actually lying right? I was just concealing the truth.

That was what you had us believe. Don’t you know it’s not safe for a young girl to be living all alone? What if something happens to you? He voiced out his concern.

I know he’s just being worried over me but I can take care of myself, life has taught me to take care of myself. I am not a kid anymore I can take care of myself. I stated, partly because I wanted to
