My name is Grace, I live with my parents in a small town neighborhood with my siblings, we don't have much but we were happy. I started my education in early age , during my primary school days I was raped by my new neighbor's father.
I understand that life is so simple, free without knowing the world is so mean and wicked.
I was playing with other children in our small compound, when we heard that long vehicle packing at the front yard, We were happy because at last we have a new neighbor and we will play with their children. At first I thought they were nice people which made me befriend their daughter called Rita. She is fair in complexion, calm , smart and friendly. I waved at her, she smiled.
The next day we organize a welcome party for the family which they appreciated and we became friends. We started visiting each other home, sharing almost everything, I was free and happy as I thought ! I noticed a change in her father's behavior the way he looks at me, he buys me gift and always call me to buy things for him. He said I should not tell anyone about the goodies, I should enjoy myself, being a child I was happy. He always call me inside when everybody must have gone to their business for the day. I will stay with him , one day I notice he started touching my vaginal, I ask him why , he answered that he is making sure am still a virgin, he was giving me a fatherly advice after I told him that my mother said nobody should touch me there and he made me promise not to tell anyone about what happen in his house.
In my house we don't discuss sex or mention it, because my parents believe we are still young and innocent without knowing someone out there is molesting their daughter. I tried my best with actions to show my parents what am going through but they were not paying attention to me, because they were too busy with work.
Rita was indeed a good friend, but I was afraid of telling her what is happening in their house. I learn how to make their local dish and how to speak their native dialect. We eventually did everything together as a child, which I will count as a childhood happy memories.
