The Fricking Misapprehension

 I passed out after doing the laundry, Cain rushed me to the hospital and find out I was pregnant, he didn't say a word to me after we got back home, he gave me time to recover before he started questioning me, the child I'm carrying in my womb is not Cain's, Cain and I knew that because we always use protection, the day we don't use he makes sure that I take contraceptive. After a week Cain asked me the person that is responsible for my pregnancy, I told him I had no idea who the father is, he didn't give me time to narrate how everything happened and started laying insults on me, he called me a whore for sleeping with multiple men and not knowing the father of my unborn child, he threw my bag out of his house and told me never to step feet again in his house, he called me a cheat and ungrateful woman, 'After putting a roof over your head you have the gut to cheat on me', Cain said dragging me out of his house. I pleaded with him that I have nowhere else to go and that he should give me some time for me to work, save up and move out but he wasn't taking any of my pleadings as he shut the door on me telling me to go to the men that impregnated me...

I was a virgin when I met Cain, we met in my village when he was working at a construction site, as at then I was selling minerals and gala, Cain took a liking to me and brought me to the city before I met Cain, I have never step my foot in the city, I grew up with my grandmother in the village, my mother who was a nurse got pregnant before marriage and when the man who impregnated her denied the pregnancy, she gave birth to me, gave me to my grandmother and ran off, I am thirty-two years old but I have never lay eyes on my mother nor do I know who my father is. My grandmother passed out five years ago, and since then, I have been living my life alone, hustling for myself until I met Cain. When Cain took me to the city he was so nice to me, he cared deeply for me, he gave me everything that I have right now, and he changed my life, I never lack anything in his house, Cain never let me work, he told me that since he can provide everything that is the point of me working, Cain loved and pamper me so much that he even send me to a private learning lesson since I didn't go to school, his love and affection continued for a year and a half plus when he suddenly changed to a completely different person. Cain started maltreating and disrespecting me, even though I have never disrespected him, anytime he yelled at me he never stops to mention how he is a god that changed my life and made me the woman I am today. He moved me out of his room and told me to start sleeping in his guest room, I never questioned the way he treated me because I was indeed grateful for the improvement he has made in my life, I stop receiving the monthly allowance he normally gives to me, I knew the relationship was not going to work because the love was no longer there so I needed money to move out of his apartment and to start something for myself. I asked Cain for permission to work which he decline, he told me that before I can start working I would have to move out of his house, and there was nothing I could do, I was hopeless and confused, there was no money with me since he stops giving money to me and there were no other means I could get money, even when I'm sick Cain would refuse to give me money for treatment, he would tell me to sort myself out.

It was one rainy evening when Cain came back from work and questioned why I didn't cook in the house, I told him there were no foodstuffs in the house and he refused to give me money to buy some when I asked him in the morning before he left for work. he came me cash to go get food for him, but I complained saying that it was already too late, he slapped me real hard on the face and pushed me out of the house that if I don't go get food for him, I shouldn't come back to the house, I was left with no option than to go get his food. There was no public vehicle available at that hour so I had to trek in the dark where there is no sight of a single soul, I was indeed scared that God should protect me, I wasn't even halfway through my journey when three men appeared from nowhere, and demanded my money, I gave them everything I had with me including Cain's money but there were not satisfied as two of the men held me down while the other undress me, I screamed for help but no one came to my rescue, after raping me turn by turn they left me on the road and ran away, I was devastated I cried home to Cain but Cain didn't let me into the house nor did he let me explain, I slept outside under the rain that evening, the next morning Cain left for work but permitted me to enter the house. Since I had no one to listen to me I had to go to the police station to write a statement and I was assured that the matter would be looked into. For two weeks Cain still had no idea what happened to me, whenever I want to talk to him about the situation, he would shut me up and leave the house, I continued to live in frustration till that fateful day when I passed out and we found out I was pregnant.

Cain opened the door and saw me sitting down with my bags, he asked me what I'm still doing in his house, I held him down and explained everything to him that I have never cheated on him before, Cain felt bad for everything that has happened to me, he blamed himself for the misfortune that befalls me, he apologizes for all his wrongdoings and asked me to give him a chance to amend his wrongdoings which I did, he told me he lost his job and had no other way to pour out his anger, he told me he had never loved me any less. Cain took the matter of my rape seriously and it didn't take a month before the culprits were found and punished severely, the pregnancy was terminated, and Cain and I later got married.
