Blogger's Diary-My Encounter with the rapist(Concluding part)

This is the concluding part of last weeks "Encounter with a rapist"...

Here I was, facing this monster...There was no way out.I was trapped, trembling and scared..He walked closer to me with a firm grip on his pocket knife..I had a million thoughts running through my head but none involved him raping me.

"Take off your clothes..I don't have time to waste..He growled at me" 

For the first time, I took in is size,his arms and his face..He stood above 6 ft tall and my 5 foot 5 frame was no match for him..So , I decided to try his conscience once more..Maybe i could get through to him..
The tears began to flow naturally ..

"Please sir,can we talk about this ?I'm not feeling too well at the moment.I promise to come back here.Please I'm begging in the name of God"

 Oh this bitch thinks i'm joking ..Do I look like i'm joking?He walked towards me and stood nose to nose with me..He reeked of weed and gin .I could see the dark glimmer in his eyes..There was no conscience there..I was finished ..You think this knife is for decoration? I will kill you and bury you here and no one will ever know..

I shuddered at the thought of that..Then it hit me... If he lives here, why would he want to rape me knowing I would probably be back to arrest him?He couldn't be that callous . I recalled reading stories about girls who were raped and killed just because they could identify their rapist...So I decided to fight..But I would be tactical about it..I just needed that knife away..

 I will count to three, if your clothes are not off,i will stab you.I started with my shirt.Trying my best to be as slow as possible...and then i heard it.."Boom"I felt the excruciating pain on my jaw..I didn't know what to call it.But that was the dirtiest slap ever..I burst into tears. Now you know I'm not joking .

 I took off my shirt in a haste while thanking heavens for making me wear the tightest jeans ever ..He ordered me to take off my jeans and i hesitated,pretending the buttons were too complicated and he ordered me to go toward the bed and take them off..I obeyed and lay down..
Now he dropped the knife to take off his jeans ,his eyes fixated on me, watching my every move ..Then he stood in his full glory and I must have died a thousand times.There was no way in hell...

  Please this jeans is too tight, can you help me drag it ..He made to come towards me and as he tired to kneel and pull the jeans"One..two..three...He didn't see it coming..I lunged my legs at him aiming straight for his chest but missed and caught his upper belly.My dad's Taekwondo lessons came in handy....

....He shrieked out in pain and rolled on the bed as I scurried to my feet headed for the door,picking up the knife in the process .I made to open it when i recalled he locked the door and the key was in his jeans pocket..He made towards me and I held onto the window railing, screaming for help at the top of my voice He got on his feet and  lunged at me as I continued to hold on to the window screaming loud while holding into the knife.

He came towards me, daring me to stab him..He said that would be the best thing ever because I would be dead before he dies..I was trapped and confused..He then reminded me there was no way out of the house..He said I should save myself the stress, drop the knife and give in..When I stood my ground, he quickly ran to his wardrobe and emerged with a bigger knife..

Then,my phone rang..It was more of a flash..

This startled him and he told me to turn it off...and I started laughing...I was laughing real hard and I honestly didn't know what came over me..He was shocked and taken aback..I dropped the knife ‎and let go of the window railing and said

 " Now, let's do this..Be fast about it coz we have probably 30 seconds left "
 He was even more ‎confused..
 "What do you mean?" I walked towards him boldly
   "I said we have a few seconds left because THEY ARE HERE" I saw fear allover him. "Who are here? What are you talking about? " My friend, come and rape and get this over with..This is your end..They are here....

   He pretended to laugh and it was the most nervous laughter ever. I walked towards him. ,daring him..And I started to unzip my trousers " Rape please, there has to be a genuine reason for your death "

He eyes darted around like a rat..What do you mean by that.
This was a dangerous game I was playing. I didn't even know what I was doing.I needed that phone to ring again

" Well, my phone has an emergency button which I press when I'm in danger..It sends my exact location ‎to my father's snippers well we call them point and kill because all you need to do is point and they kill "
 So I sensed danger, all I did was press the button and they rushed here..You should have told me to switch off my phone..Because once they got here, they called and that confirmed my location to them..Did I tell you i'm hausa? He was Speechless "oh I didn't tell you..Im hausa..You know how an hausa man reacts when his daughter is raped? I smiled 

 I didn't anticipate what happened next..He got down on his knees

" Emeh I'm so sorry, you know I was joking..you know I'm not a rapist ‎.If I was I would have raped you by now..Please I am just a man making ends " meet..
 As he talked all I wanted was to get out if the house but I had to be careful and not seem in a hurry
" I'm so sorry, you wanted to killed me after raping me..That was your aim. "I said calmly

 No no..Actually what I do is snap your nude picture then tell you if you report, I will release it. Or I ask for money..i swear I have never killed..*Crying*

  My phone rang again..*thank heavens*

 " Mr man, your time is up..This is the 2nd confirmation of my location. They will call one last time and then break into this house. So let's have sex so atleast it will be worth it.
He held my feet. Emeh please help me. What do I do? I will do anything please help me. You know I love you..He cried
"Do you have a back gate? Somewhere you can escape and run through. Because as we speak. ,the road will be blocked..The front gate and the entrance to this estate..I said felling more confident

   Mo gbe ohhh...Heeeee what did I do..? I beg you there is no back gate..Only front gate  ‎..he said between sobs 

" I said ok ok, I will help you but it's going to be hard to push them away.. I have to call them..
 "Oh no don't call please. I beg you don't kill me "

Look at me...? You are 1 minute away from death..So all I have to do is call and direct them to another street..Whats the name of the nearest street?
 He told me..I took up my phone and luckily, I had a number of an hausa military man in my estate..He had a power bike..

 I dialed the number and he could see the number saved as "hausa army "‎he picked up and I spoke in hausa telling him I was in trouble at a certain house and estate and he should come or send someone...

 After that, I dropped the call while he was hurriedly wearing his clothes " What did they say, please what did they say "
 Well from their modus operandi, they would move anytime soon, so I suggest we get out of here before they realize I played them..

He was now drenched in sweat and he got the keys from his jean pocket while i hurriedly put on my shirt ..He looked at me for reassurance and I nodded that it was time..He opened the door sand stepped out stealthily like a cat..

  What a sigh of relief, but i needed to get out first..I told him it would be a goo idea to have me call and find out where they were.He stood behind me and i made my call to the hausa man,he said he was trying to locate the place and i should make sure i hang on..But I was safer outside.So I told him they were a street away but I suspect some would loiter around..So the best thing is for me to step out first ..He gave me the key to the main gate and as I opened it, I didn't expect what happened next..This rapist bolted past me with the speed of lightening and kept running without looking back ..I rushed out and saw him running away and took a bend out of my site..Then I started running  in the opposite direction..

I must have run for 5 minutes when I met the army man ..And I told him what had happened and we decided to go back to the house after meeting some landlord's on the street...

Our revelations were shocking ..He was a driver....The owner of the house was not even living in Nigeria and the man and woman who I met there were the man's visitors for a week.He told them I was the man's staff and needed to collect some things from him..

After lodging a complaint with the police, the army man kept watch over the house for weeks and he never returned..We contacted the boss who gave us the address to his real house somewhere in Mushin..When we got there he had moved out ..

I saw him last year,selling belts in traffic..He rushed up to me and begged for forgiveness,saying he is a changed man.He also said he was a polytechnic graduate who was frustrated because of his job as a driver..I had forgiven him,counting myself lucky for escaping such a traumatic experience
