Her eyes are misty!

Why won’t they be!

From the social media, to her friends and family, everyone has been commenting on the trending rape allegations.

This has opened up the pains she thought she had successfully buried.

The seventeen year-old virgin and a pastor!

Hmmm….she was ten years older and married.

This one was seventeen when she was abused by her pastor. Her pastor was, of course, revered by the church.

In her own case, she was abused by a man who is still revered by the state.

The similarities are in their timidity, their nativity. Many years later, one spoke out. Very much unlike her, who allowed her diary do the talking.

But then, she wasn’t forgiven. Instead of that, she lost love, she lost support, and above all, she lost her matrimonial home.

Then, the rapist apologized and promised to support her. He promised to care for her. But then, that was soon truncated.

Do you listen to those who say it doesn’t add up?

Yes, most of the time, it hardly does!

How can it?

No one is ever calm enough to remember all the details. Even if one does, the pain makes it difficult to say it as it is.

Is it just the pain?

No, it’s actually the traumatic effects!

When it happened to her, she didn’t say much. All she wanted to do was to protect all she still had.

That was beautiful!

She was physically quiet, but she called on the ultimate One. She placed a curse on everyone like her that he had.

As she lost her marriage, so should it be with all his own who were like her…

So many women hurt silently from being forced when they had said no. But let’s just know one thing, the karmic effect is very active.

Sometimes, it’s better to receive justice from mere mortals.

This God we serve has a way of serving a more lasting and heart wrenching sentence…
