PART 5 “PÈMÍSÍRE”

I must say, that step my mother took must have been the greatest mistake she made with me. Before this, I thought I was a regular child, but with the mirror experience, I realized I looked like a monster…

Several things followed this… I recoiled, I never spoke again,  I never smiled again,  I never wanted to play again,  I wanted to stay indoors all through until my grandpa came visiting again…

” Great Pemisire,  the great deliverer of our time, a mighty man of valour,  Wisest among men, Fearfully and wonderfully made by God to confuse the enemies,  the one specially created by the ABBA Father…

“My grandpa was my only friend, he made me smile, he always tickled me, and he bought me a pack of cartoon character handkerchiefs… Those were the days of Spiderman…

He told to always wipe my mouth, he said it in a way that didn’t make my drooling a bad thing…

” Pemisire,  you need to learn to wipe your drool,  do you know I also sweat a lot,  sometimes I sweat so much it looks like someone poured a bucket of water on me,  and I have to carry 5 handkerchiefs with me everywhere I go everyday… So everyone has their peculiar issues, you just need to learn how to manage it… ”

Grandpa stayed with me for three days and those were one of my happiest days on earth, but before he left, he sat my mother down and told her I needed to go to school… He promised to take full responsibility for my education… Grandpa also spoke to me at length…

“Great Pemisire, education is very important. I want you to go to school, I want you to put on school uniform like other kids… I am sure you want it?”

“No! I don’t want to…. be in school” I said, although deep down I wanted to. My neighbours had a lesson teacher who came around to teach them every evening and from my window, I watched them. From there, I learnt the Alphabets, so going to school would have been great news for me but…

PART 6 “PÈMÍSÍRE”

But I was scared of the looks I would get. The few times I had gone out of our house had always been a heartbreaking Experience. I didn’t give grandpa an outright. No! I went mute.

*****

“My name is Abigail, by the time you will be reading this, I Probably may not be alive… Pemisire insisted I write some chapters in his book.

Pemisire is my only child, but the only child with a BIG CLAUSE…He was not the regular child, he was the child you couldn’t take out to the park with you, a child that made heads turn, not in a good way but with the look of despair, disgust, fear and ultimately hatred…

Sometimes, the thought of strangulating him or suffocating him crossed my mind, Would you blame me?… I know a lot of people would say, how can a mother think of such concerning her child but listen, this is the child who took away everything from me, he took away my marriage, my friends, my career and my time which is my life…I lost my fashion sense because of this boy, days passed me by and I didn’t care…

My mother had married another man at my young age, so the only person I had left was my father, my only ray of hope…He would tell me God told him, Pemisire was going to be great…but it didn’t make sense, a child who looked like a mysterious creature…

His name Pemisire did not reflect one bit in his life, I had the feeling he was Pemisiibanuje (Called for sorrow).

I obeyed my father and took Pemisire to school…I cannot tell who was more scared, Pemisire ( the deformed looking child of mine)  or I ( the mother of the abominable child). From the neighbours to the bike man who was to pick us from the house, I could tell Pemisire and I were in for real trouble…

“Madam, I am sorry I can’t pick you and your son… I am sorry, please look for another bike man…” said the bike man…
