a long time ago in a small village there lived a girl named adaku adaku was beautiful her skin Shone like fresh palm oil her hair was long like the river path her legs were straight like the palm tree and her hips swayed like a calabash floating on water men would stop and stare whenever she walked past women would glance and Whisper some would say ah this girl is too fine others would shake their heads and say but beauty without everything is nothing they say all these not because she's poor or senseless but because adaku had
a problem a big one in the eyes of the villagers she looked just like a boy from the front her chest was as flat as a cooking pan even little girls had more breasts than her she looked at her friends at the women in the village at the girls younger than her they all had something on their chest something big but she she had nothing when she went to the market the young men would whisper some would laugh behind her back some girls would put their hands on their chest and say adaku even the new
goat in my father's house has more than you then they would laugh and clap their hands adaku felt ashamed so she started stuffing clothes inside her bra before going out she would press and shape it until it looked real men would admire her call her fine girl and follow her around but when one got clothes and found out the truth he would run away like a chicken escaping a knife they always say it feels like having something with your fellow man in bed nothing to grab one day a rich man from another Village saw a
daku he liked her big hips her long hair her smooth skin but he never knew her big chest was stuffed with clothes they are fake being ignorant of this he approached her and told her you are the woman I have been looking for Marry Me adaku was happy she thanked her Gods finally she would have a husband the wedding day came the village danced the Dr sounded the women sang adaku smiled but that night when she took off her clothes the Man's eyes widen his mouth opened but no words came out where where is it
he stammered pointing at her chest adaku looked down then back at him this is how I am the man screamed he grabbed his cloth tied it around his waist and ran out of the house like a madman ad zaku sat there the candle burned low the night was quiet and the tears fell her husband had run away and this was just the beginning of her story adaku could not stay in the village anymore everywhere she turned she saw pity in people's eyes some whisper that is a girl whose husband ran away on the wedding night
others laughed behind her back she had no husband no money no future so one morning before the [ __ ] cro adaku took her small bag tied her rapper tight and entered a bus the road was long the journey was rough but she did not care she was going to Lagos Lagos was big Lagos was noisy Lagos was fast from the moment she stepped down from the bus she knew this place was not like her Village cars honked like Angry goats Traders screamed at the top of their voices children ran between moving cars like they
had nine lives adaku held her back tightly the crowd pushed her the dust covered her the noise shook her ears so this is Lagos she whispered to herself she went to stay with her Uncle he was a strict man with a face like a bitter Cola the first first night he told her adaku this is Lagos nobody will Dash you food you must find work the next day she woke up early and began searching she walked from Street to Street knocking on doors begging for work I can sweep I can cook I can do anything
she said but every time she heard the same thing where is your school certificate you cannot read or write sorry we cannot employ you adaku was tired adaku was hungry she sat by the roadside her stomach singing songs of hunger that was when she met Chi-Chi Chi-Chi was bright like the morning sun her clothes were fine her hair was neat she had gold rings on her fingers and a big smile on her face sister why are you sitting here like a lost goat Chi-Chi asked a duu side I am hungry I have no work I
have no money chii laughed a deep rich laugh then she opened her bag brought out food and gave it to adaku adaku ate fast the food sweetened her soul I can help you Chi-Chi said really adaku eyes Shone like the stars Chi-Chi nodded but then she said the work is not for small girls adaku frowned what kind of of work Chi-Chi smiled a slow smile night work adaku did not understand but she was hungry she needed money I will do it she said chii just laughed again we shall see and just like that adu's life
in Lagos began Lagos had changed adaku at night she painted her lips red wore short dresses that hugged her body and followed and the other girls into the bright streets where men with Deep Pockets waited some men liked her face some liked her big hips some liked her long legs but many of them after a few minutes would shake their heads and walk away ah this one is not complete some would whisper fine face fine hips but her front is like a boy's own others would say laughing adaku heard everything she PR ended not to
care but inside her heart burned like hot charcoal then one night Chief arrived Chief was not like the other men his stomach was big like a drum his fingers were full of gold rings and when he talked everybody listened I want that one he said pointing at adaku Chichi's eyes widened she nudged at adaku ah this is your lucky night my sister adaku followed Chief to a big hotel the bed was soft like pop the room smelled of Rich men's perfume and the air conditioner was colder than her Matan Breeze the night ended Chief sat
up looked at her and threw a bag of money on the bed the bag landed with a thud adu's heart jumped she had never seen that much money before her hands shook as she picked it up thank you sir she said bending her knees in respect Chief smiled but then he said next time I see you make sure your chest has grown adaku froze she looked down at herself then she looked at him grown she asked confused Chief waved his hand you are a fine girl but your body is not complete use that money and
do the right thing then he stood up put on his abada and left adaku ran back home the money clutched in her hands Chi-Chi what does he mean she asked Chi-Chi laughed he wants you to do surgery my sister he wants you to add something to your front adu's eyes widened she had never thought about that before she had dreamed of it yes she had wished for it but to actually do it she sat on the bed bed staring at the money what if I do it she whispered to herself what if I become beautiful
everywhere the thought excited her the thought scared her she closed her eyes took a deep breath and made a decision tomorrow she would visit the hospital early in the morning before the sun had fully stretched its arms adaku and chii entered the hospital the air smelled of Medicine nurses walked up and down their shoes clicking on the cold floor the doctor was an old man with glasses that sat low on his nose he looked at adaku and asked are you sure about this yes doctor adaku said gripping her bag tightly the doctor leaned forward there
could be problems later complications adaku waved her hand doctor I don't care I want be like the other girls the doctor sighed and nodded all right we will begin tomorrow the next day adaku lay on the hospital bed bright light Shone above her cold metal touched her skin the last thing she heard was the doctor saying count down from 10 10 9 8 darkness when adaku woke up the first thing she felt was pain her chest burned like hot pepper soup she tried to sit up but a sharp pain shot through her body ah she
cried Chi-Chi rushed to her side adaku relax let me see slowly adaku turned to the mirror and then she saw it her chest was full her body was perfect she looked complete adaku smiled for the first time in her life she felt like a woman Chi-Chi look at me she whispered touching herself Chi-Chi laughed my sister you have arrived 2 Days Later adaku stepped out for the first time the nightlights of Lago sparkled the air was full of voices music and the smell of roasted suya adaku walked slowly her heels clicking on the ground and
then she noticed it eyes were on her men stopped talking when she passed some turned their heads and stared some whispered some followed they offered her more money than before adaku smiled she was no longer just adaku she was now adaku the queen of the night but 2 weeks later something strange started happening adaku woke up one morning and tried to put on her bra it didn't fit she frowned did I buy the wrong size she asked herself she tried another one it didn't f fit either she turned to the mirror her eyes widened her
chest was bigger than before At first she smiled maybe it's just part of the healing she thought but she didn't know she didn't know that her real problem was only beginning at first adaku was happy she stood in front of the mirror turning from side to side admiring herself her chest looked full cooler rounder perfect maybe it's the medicine working she told herself smiling her clothes hugged her body better men stared even longer the money doubled Chi-Chi clapped her hands and laughed ah adaku you are now the Queen of the Night adaku felt on top
of the world but 3 days later the happiness started turning to fear one evening adaku reached for her bra she pulled it stretched it twisted it it didn't fit she frowned this is strange she tried another one too tight maybe I need a bigger size she thought but every morning when she woke up her chest looked bigger than the day before she could no longer wear her old clothes everything felt tight even walking King felt different then came the pain at first it was small just a sharp pinch here and there but with each passing
day it grew it felt like fire burning inside her chest at night she couldn't sleep she tossed and turned sweat rolled down her body Chi-Chi something is wrong she cried one night Chi-Chi sat up rubbing her eyes ah don't worry it's part of the healing the pain will stop soon adaku nodded she wanted to believe her friend but the pain did not stop it got worse one afternoon adaku couldn't take it anymore she ran back to the hospital her wrapper barely tied her feet dragging on the ground doctor help me she cried falling to her
knees the doctor frowned he examined her his face changed he called another doctor they whispered they checked again then he shook his head we can't help you he said stepping back there is no cure for this problem adaku froze what what do you mean she asked her voice shaking your body is reacting to the surgery the implants are growing abnormally we have never seen this before adaku grabbed his shirt doctor please do something the doctor side we are sorry there is nothing we can do a darku cried she ran to another hospital no help another
one no help doctors shook their heads some whispered behind her back some looked at her with pity her friends watched as her body changed every day some stopped coming close some whispered behind her back just like in the Village Chi-Chi held her hand and said don't worry the pain will stop but the pain did not stop it only got worse one afternoon the sun was hot the room was quiet adaku lay on her bed sweating like a pot of hot soup the pain had swallowed her her body shook her skin was cold but inside she
felt like fire was burning her bone her chest was too heavy she could barely move she could barely breathe God is this how I will die she whispered tears rolling down her face then she heard a voice outside free medical checkup across the road come one come all adaku eyes opened her hands trembled maybe maybe they can help me she thought with all all the strength left in her body she dragged herself up she wrapped her scarf around her chest put on a loose gown and staggered out of the house the small Clinic was crowded
women held their babies old men coughed a nurse called names when adaku entered the doctor looked at her his face changed madam what is wrong he asked adaku removed her scarf and pointed at her chest pain she wh wh sped the doctor examined her his hands moved up and down pressing checking his forehead creased another doctor came then another they whispered they checked again then the first doctor stepped back and said there was a mistake in your surgery if we don't treat you you will die adaku eyes widened die she whispered the doctor nodded your
body is rejecting what they put inside you we need to take you to the hospital now adaku felt dizzy the world spun around her doctor please help me she begged the nurses rushed her to the hospital they laid her on a bed they brought scissors bandages gloves the doctor took a deep breath we need to remove the bandages he said said one of the nurses pulled the bandage then it happened maggots white wriggling living maggots crawling out of her skin the doctors jumped back the nurses screamed adaku saw them adaku felt them and adaku screamed
too the hospital room was filled with screams the nurses covered their noses and ran out the doctor stepped back eyes wide with horror Chi-Chi who had followed adaku to the hospital gasped she clutched her chest took one step forward then stopped the smell it was too terrible it filled the room like rotten meat left Under the Sun for weeks it choked the air it turned stomachs adaku looked down and saw them help me she cried reaching out but nobody moved even Chi-Chi her best friend shook her head and stepped back Chi-Chi please please adaku begged
Chi-Chi covered her mouth her eyes were filled with tears but her legs would not move forward adaku cried she tried to stand up but her chest was too heavy it had grown so big that it could no longer fit the hospital bed she could feel it stretching her skin she gasped for air doctor do something she screamed the doctors whispered among themselves one of them wiped wiped his forehead another shook his head then one of them turned to Ado and said we must cut off both breasts that is the only way to save you adaku
froze cut off she whispered the doctor nodded if we don't you will die adaku lips trembled she shook her head no no I can't but then the pain hit her again a deep burning te tearing pain she clutched her chest she screamed cut it she shouted cut it off just save me the doctors moved fast they rolled her into the theater bright light Shone above her the air smelled of medicine and death she saw the knives her heart pounded then she heard the doctor say count down from 10 10 9 8 Darkness the last thing
she felt was the cold touch of the knife on her skin the world was quiet the lights above her were dim the room smelled of medicine and loneliness adaku opened her eyes she tried to move but her body felt light too light then she looked down her chest was empty there was nothing left tears filled her eyes she touched the bandages felt the flatness where her body once had shape her fingers trembled it's all gone she whispered she turned her head searching for a familiar face Chi-Chi her friends the nurses nobody was there even the
hospital staff avoided her she was alone days passed adaku sat on the hospital bed staring at the wall she remembered everything she remembered how she hated her body how she cried when men laughed at her how she desperately wanted to be like the other girls she remembered Chief's words next time I see you make sure your chest has grown she had done it all for them for men who saw her as nothing now she had nothing left she closed her eyes and for the first time she wished she could go back to the Village back
to the girl who stuffs cloth into her bra back to the girl who still had something left to lose one evening the doctor came he pulled up a chair sat beside her and asked why did you do this to yourself adaku looked at him she wanted to lie she wanted to say it was a mistake but tears betrayed her because men mocked me she said her voice shaking because nobody wanted me because I had no work the doctor listened he did not interrupt when she finished he took a deep breath and said you don't need
a man to Value you adaku stared at him if you want to work I can give you a job here he continued you will start small cleaning helping patients but it will be honest work adu's eyes filled with tears she nodded she had learned her lesson she had lost too much but this time she was ready to live with what she had and so adaku picked up the broken pieces of her life and started again I hope you enjoyed the tale if so please like the video share it with your family and friends comment on
