Chapter 1, her pain
I cook all day, than i just wait for him to eat and leave for his job , than i clean his house and make his baby bath eat cereal and than make him sleep..than i wait endlessly in the garden looking at the lonesome road ,waiting for a train to escape and never look back.. The man brought me here is my abuser and exploiter who would give me all kinds of physical ordeals and than act victim so aa to keep me as his baby's caretaker and his house's maid..he brought me from and remote village of philipines where i used to be poor but fine with it ..i was not that educated ..i hardly went till.fourth grade..I can read write but I have no degree to gain a job here..right now I am staying with the green visa of marriage that this country provide to spouces from.other nations For me who is an 21 year old young women.. everything seems strange here,this isn't even place near to city it's an remote village , my 45 year old husband rented this house,he used to tell me he worked as a manager in a motel for years and after his mother died who was the only family member in his life .he sold the previous house that was in the city and moved here by leasing this house, it's beautiful serene and calm but I don't get to see anyone even a cat or a dog or small birds..sometime this seems like an bad dream where I am trapped forever... the isolation slowly taken toll on my confidence with life and raising this baby..this baby is a orphan and he adopted the baby before my marriage, he never told much about the baby but just told that he will grow to a fine gentleman if i take good care of him as a mother and than the kid will be out saviour... His talks are so futile , lame like sand in the palm..or a twig in the waterspout, I have very strong connection with the baby the day I took him in my arms..I am the mother so only I am.staying here as I have nowhere to go..and that's how Tod is taking advantage of my vulnerability, things go good and smooth untill he comes home drunk from work, he would behave all nasty.ask me to bow down and sing for him..than talk all rubbish bad disgusting, he would suspect me sleeping around with other man , if I answer he would come and start non verbal abuse ,like slapping hard in my face and than grab hairs and make me drop in the floor and also lash me in my back and legs..he would leave and slam his door and sleep like a dead man till morning..next morning when I don't talk to him..he would behave indifferent and won't ask anything but just apologize and takes oath to not drink again..his promises are as good as those of politicians..that don't matter at all.. Slowly summer entered and it is burning dry dispiriting and exhausting, i been confined within four walls and crawling hard with my soul to somehow live free off this man and his cage..with the baby..but I have nowhere to go, my mother visiting me after long time now and that's when I asked him if I can go and work somewhere as a waitress or receptionist any low paying job suiting my needs and knowledge..he in beginning was snobbish and wasn't ok me working stepping outside meeting new people, but later he allowed it but in a condition I keep a phone with me and answer without failing to lift his call..at any cost , there been lot even teasing molestation happening lately in the town , as per him it seems, i well understood him saying these hiding behind his loud insecurities.. Chapter two- A fine gentleman After lot struggle j managed to get a small job as a cook in a very small cafe tunned by 79 year old Madison a child less widow with a pleasing personality and an ailing health.. however she manages to run the cafe as long as she can later she would delegate the work to her servent Tim, who seems like a skinny fellow but acts smarter than ever. At times he would speak to me and when required he would talk ..i been teasing him however for his slothiness and clumpsyness ..but he would keep an indescreate attitude throughout, Our futile lame jokes carried on..inwould cook soup , omlette sometime some steaks and also would make tea coffee and tim would serve clean and also keep the kithen tidy once everything is done for the day.... Many a times I happen to visit Madison in her home, her home is big enough, there are murals all over the wall with meagre budget, one particular photo i would always glare and may be I guessed right about it, it's sad that Madison is childless but she is also a women deprived of love and opposite attraction throughout her life, she have a urge of dating and marrying if she ever find an worthy partner at this age..her optimism scares me. She seems ruthless at times..she would scream slur at us for being clumpsy late and also throw things..I am not enough capable to handle such tantrums in my early teens..but after my unfortunate marriage wohi this guy I can pretty much handle intermittently violant people.. Her annoyance is understandable..she seems suspecting everyone around..she would at times condescend and also her mood relapses..I find hard to cop but o feel better in Madison's cafe rather than rattling in that home.. meanwhile my mother been religiously looking after our baby .. © 2022 Saraswati |
