The Day I Almost Hit A Woman – Adewrites
The day I almost hit a woman.
I came home feeling tired.
I had a very rough day and a colleague had infuriated me too.
When I got home, I met my girlfriend wearing my boxers while she was on her period, coupled with the rough day I had, I got angry and yelled at her.
“Why should you put on my short during period, I don’t like it” I exclaimed.
She got angry and went into the room.
I realised that I had overreacted and the best thing to do was to avoid her and cool off so as not to transfer more aggression. I went to the sitting room and laid on the couch.
She came with the food, dropped it on the chair and left.
I slept off on the couch.
It was midnight already, she came to wake me and asked why I didn’t eat and I told her I wasn’t in the mood to take anything, I just want to sleep.
She insisted that I tell her but all I wanted at that time was to be alone and sleep, it looked like I had asked for too much, she descended on me badly.
I tried to avoid her, left for the room and covered up. She pulled off the duvet and started insulting me.
“You yelled at me for wearing your short, you didn’t eat my food and you think you will have peace? You can’t sleep, you need to tell me why”
It was 1 am already and I’ve started having headache.
I tried as much as possible to avoid her but she kept dragging and pulling me. If It wasn’t midnight, I would have left the house for her but where would I go in the middle of the night.
I shouted at her.
“Leave me alone! I said you should leave me alone, is there anything bad in that?”
She gave a sarcastic smile.
The smile that protrayed that you have not seen anything yet.
” you can’t sleep unless you talk to me, I am your girlfriend and I want to talk”
Her words felt like an arrow driving through my body,
“Please leave me one, I can’t talk to you, please” I cried but she didn’t want to have it easy with me. I became frustrated and anger started building up in my system because she didn’t give me the space I wanted and my peace was being tampered with.
I picked the duvet and left the room again, she followed me, removed the duvet from my body and I left it for her.
She came again and started touching me, pinching me.
I shouted again.
I was frustrated for 5 hours.
I stood and she stood infront of me sending hot words to me.
“Do you think you are a man? You are not a man, you are a cheat, you guys are all the same, animals, tell me, is this all you can offer? Do you think I don’t know you are not man enough? I am just trying to cope with you, I thought you are different but I was wrong….”
She continued for like an hour.
She was badly messing with my mental health
At this point, I was filled with rage but I folded my hands, I didn’t want to say a word.
I went into the second room, shut the door and started hitting the wall just to let out the rage in me. She broke in and stood in front of me.
“If you think you are man enough, hit me”
I really wanted to hit her, I wanted to hit her so bad but I had determined not to hit a woman in my life.
I sat down till day break and she didn’t stop talking.
In the morning, I told her to leave my house.
She went to pack and came after some minutes.
“I am not leaving this house and there is nothing you can do about it” she said and that automatically removed a nut in my head.
I shouted on top of my house.
“Get out of my house! Get out now or I kill you!”
She started laughing and insisted that she would not leave. My temperature got high and my eyes were red already. I went into the room, brought out her things and threw them out.
My neighbours heard my voice, it was strange to them, they know me to be a calm and reserved person, they came to my apartment and saw the look of things. One of them asked me what i wanted and i told him i just want her out of my house.
They made her reason with me, she should leave just to respect my decisions first but she insisted she wasnt going to leave. She held my laptop and decided to break it if i touch her things again.
Nothing they said made her socur, they tried all they could but when they got tired, they left me to her.
At this point, i knew i was in trouble.
What have i gotten myself into?
I tried as much as possible not to touch her but the devil in me did not want to beat her again, I wanted to kill her.
Few minutes after alot of noise and yelling, a mopol neighbour came down stairs and with a whip, a stroke made from animal skin and a handcuff
He knocked on my door and and I opened, he saw what I had turned into. He took me out of the house and told the lady that if she didn’t leave the house in 3 minutes, he would arrest her and make sure she serve for three months in prison for assault and abuse.
He said he had been hearing my voice since the previous night till this morning and he thought I would beat her but I didn’t.
He gave me an accolade for being a determined man.
He threatened the lady to leave and his wife that is also a civil defence officer came down stairs and threw out her things.
” You are not a good lady and you are not fit to be someone’s wife, how could you frustrate someone for hours and still insist you won’t leave his house, you want him to beat or kill you? This is what happens and the blame will be put on the man, anyone that marries you have married a devil, get out of this house now” she shouted at her.
She left shamefully.
I was tired.
The woman told her daughter to prepare food for me and she did. I slept off immediately I finished eating.
It was he’ll for me.
I used to advocate that no man should beat a woman regardless but since that day I changed the narration to…
“All men have a beast tied down in them, pray not to marry or date a woman that will forcefully unleash it, because if they do, they just birth another demon into the society”
He narrated and all I could do was to sigh because he only knew what he had gone through and the self discipline it took him not to hit or kill her.
