Aluel
Aluel is a bright pupil
She is in her eighth grade
She has been at the top of her class since nursery school
She works out her school assignments perfectly
She likes science and social studies
She says she would like to be a radiologist in the future
Aluel is so disciplined
She never reports to school late
She has never missed out a single lesson
She respects both her teachers and fellow pupils alike
Aluel is a class prefect
She is a true role model
She dresses up smartly
Her uniforms are ever clean
She hardly quarrels
She talks to everyone nicely
Aluel is an orphan
Her father died in mysterious circumstances
Only the government knows
Her mother lost her life to malaria a couple of years ago
She has two younger siblings, both boys
Aluel stays at her uncle’s place
Her uncle’s family just moved to the city
She remains behind to take care of her blind grandmother
She cooks, she cleans,
She fetches water
She goes to the market
Aluel is so attractive
Her skin is so dark and shiny
Her physique, her eyes and her teeth are beyond description
Her smile is photic,
It could light up a dark room
In short, she is the younger version of Rachez Angeth or Ajoh Chol
Aluel looks older than her age
She is kind of growing up in a rush
Her bosom is no longer normal,
Two strange dome-shaped objects are,
Popping out on her once bare chest
And they seem to be developing hour after hour
They are now at a ‘grabable’ size
Aluel’s Science teacher is behaving strange lately
He ogles her
He chats her up
He has even ceased to call Aluel by her name
He calls her ‘pion-pac’
Aluel is a child,
She lacks worldly experiences
Her teacher asks her to remain behind after school,
For a one-on-one important lesson
Aluel obeys
They sit at the corner of the room
A few minutes elapse,
The teacher introduces a different topic
He pulls down her bloomers,
Positions her on the desk,
And forces some hard thing between her legs
Aluel is in trouble
The pain is so unbearable
She lets out a deafening cry
Unfortunately, no one hears that,
She cries and begs him to stop it but he can’t
Aluel faints
She gains consciousness hours later
She can’t feel her waist, it’s numb
But she manages to limp home
Aluel is absent from school today for the first time
But there is a problem at her class
Her classmates can’t use their desks
They say it is hard to tell what exactly happened
But it looks like some sheep or,
Chicken got slaughtered on the desk
The teacher insists that it is just a red ink and,
Orders them to clean it up
Period!
Aluel is back to school, after a week
The teacher no longer smiles at her
He is moody
He browbeats her
Aluel gets confused
She can’t understand why
She endures nevertheless
Aluel gets into trouble with her teacher
She reportedly failed a science test
Along with her three friends,
The teacher parades them before the class
With an ‘uncle black’, he whacks them in the bums
Aluel can’t sit down, so are her friends
Coz the fall of the whip has done them much harm
The sight of their blood-stained uniforms,
Around the behinds tells it all
Aluel and friends are taken to the hospital,
To have their buts stitched
Aluel is at home, under a tree on a Saturday afternoon,
Doing revision
A neighbor, a married man with children comes by
He says he was good at math in school,
And he can show her some formulae
Aluel welcomes him
He is smelling alcohol though
A few minutes elapse, he says he is thirsty and,
Asks Aluel to go get water from the house
He gets up and follows her
Aluel screams
Neighbors, mostly women, storm the compound,
To see what’s going on
They learn of the crime
Authorities are informed
The man is beaten and dragged to the police station
Aluel is taken to the hospital
Aluel is at the hospital, seated on a bench,
Waiting for her turn to see a gynecologist
Her turn comes
She walks in
For the doc to practice his field,
Aluel must undress
After an hour of persuasion, she undresses
But Aluel’s body is tempting and irresistible
What a gynecologist!
Aluel is in the hand of the authorities
Since there is no special center for housing the abused,
Aluel is at a police commissioner’s home
His wives and children live in foreign cities
Foreign House helps do the cooking and cleaning
He is a ‘nice’ dude though
He clothes Aluel
He makes sure Aluel eats good food
Apparently, he shares his room with her
Aluel is sitting her final exams,
Commonly known as Certificate of Primary Education
After every paper,
She walks out of the exam room smiling
Aluel is unwell
She vomits, she shivers every morning
She notices that her abdomen is growing,
Her flat belly is losing flatness
It is showing
It’s taking shape, D-shape
