Me: Tinashe please. Please don't take

away mwana wangu please. She's all I
have please.
Tinashe: Iwe ibva pano mhani
iwee.Nxaaaa maVillage girl anonetsa
mhani.
Me( tears flowing) Andisi kuramba kubva
Tinashe but ndikuda mwana wangu. She's
too young kusiiswa mukaka. She's just a
day old Tinashe. She needs me.
Tinashe mom: Iwe benzi iwe ibva pano
mhani. Waiti ukaitira Tinashe nhumbu we
will welcome you here pano? Leave. We
don't accept gold diggers as ana makoti
here. Get out of my house nxaaaa!

I was heartbroken kutaura chokwadi. I had

just turned 16 years apa ndichangobva
kuzvara kaBaby girl kangu.Tinashe took
advantage of me last year when I was 15
and he raped me. He threatened kuti if I
tell anyone he was going to put the blame
kwandiri and I knew airevesa so ndakaita
bundu rangu ndega mumoyo. Four
months later I found out that i was
pregnant with Tinashe's child. I told Mom
vake but she turned nyaya kwandiri vachiti
ndikuda kudya Mari yemhuri yavo.
Ndakatanga kugara navo for the sake of
my baby but salary ndanga ndakusapiwa.
Apa kuti ndidzokere kumba zvaisaita coz
Hama dzangu dzainge dzakandivenga
nekuti ndiri mwana wemu sango
akazvarwawo akasiwa naMai paDoor step
ravo. Baba vangu nyakubereka variko
mufunge asi havadi kana kundiona. Vanoti
because of me, he almost lost his beloved
family.

When I was 7 months pregnant, Tinashe

akarora his girlfriend anonzi Yolanda
aitonzi aive nemwana naye who was a
year old. My life with the Nyumiwa family
was tough but ndakashinga semunhu
ainge asitorina zvekuita. A day after
ndazvara they took away my baby and
chased me out.

Me: Tinashe please, I know hupenyu

wekukura usina Mai paside. Please my
baby needs me.
Mai Tinashe: Mahure anonetsa
mnx(exiting the room)
Yolanda: Hey little girl leave. Iwe did you
think waizokunda kuTrap murume mukuru
saTinashe? Go away.

Mai Tinashe came from No where

vakabata mvura yairatidza kuti yaipisisa
and I was left with no choice but to run
away. From that day, I was never allowed
kupinda muyard Yana Tinashe and that
pained me a lot. I was left with no choice
but kudzokera kuHwedza kune Hama

Even my three elder sisters,(Nyasha

I begin kuita my morning duties hangu and

by eight I'm done. Ndakubikira vanhu

Dad: Chikafu changu chiripi?

Me: Hell no!!! There's no way I'm going to

stay in such a place. Haaa ndaramba.
Sean: Mdara you have no choice. Listen,

for you kunoku.
Me:Hahaha. Still mdara. Are you looking
at this area?
Sean: When we find kuti who is plotting

kumba Donnel. Now look, the Taxi driver
needs his car back. I rented it kwenguva

Me: Whatever
Sean:Try and be strong brother. It's your

We share a man hug.

Me: Now don't cry. That's gayish

Sean: I'm gonna miss you bro. And I
promise you, we're going to find that idiot
that messes with the Mhura family.
Me:Yea. Safe Journey lil bro
Sean:Mnx only by a month shaa. Bye Twin

Sean gets into the car achiseka hake. He
drives off and leaves me at my so-called
new home. Well until tawana the person
who is plotting rufu rwangu.

Donnel Tonderai Mhura is my name. I'm

28 years of age. I come from a family of
four. Well we were three until Sean's
parents died paspot when their private jet
crushed vachibva kuBusiness conference
kuChina. Despite him being a Mhura asina
same blood naMom, mom agreed to take
him in and raised him as my twin. Dad
loves him also because he is his late
brother's only son. Ndine 2 maSisters fty.
Angel 26 and Annabelle 23. I am engaged
to the most annoying girl in the World
anonzi Ropafadzo. It was an arranged
thing. Andimude Ropa. Apa she's so clingy
nxaaaaaaaaa. Apa ziHure fty. She slept
nema friends angu two, Tinashe apa
murume wefriend yake futi and she also
slept naMike.

Well my life is currently giving me

maHeadaches. 2 weeks ago, my body
guard was shot. He advised me to run
away because the bullet was meant for
me. Before he could tell me the person
behind this,he died. So here I am, in
Hwedza. I'm hiding kunoku. My Dad being
the President of this country, hatisi sure if
kana ari maEnemies avo who want me
dead or zvimwewo. That's why I'm hiding
kuSide kuno where no one will expect to
find me until we find the bastard who

emotionally and mentally so akatiza when

That's how she met Tinashe coz

raped her. She wanted to report him but
she knew she was never going to win.
Besides, she had suffered a lot of pain so
akangorwadziwa ega. Four months later,
akaziva kuti anga aine nhumbu.

Me: So Tinashe did...

Tanya: Ehe, he raped her. Nandi akaudza

Mai vaTinashe zvainge zvaitika but as
expected Tinashe was protected. They
stopped giving her pay yake and abused
her over and over again. Yolanda akabva
arorwawo coz anga aine kamwana kake
naTinashe. The day after asununguka her
baby girl, she was chased out of the
house. She begged them kuty ave part of
her baby's life but they chased her away.
Nandi being a child akakura without a
mother, and has gone through almost
every type of abuse, she has become
protective of her unborn child. She fears
munozomutorera mwana wake so she
kept it a secret.
