I AM NOBODY'S CHILD PART V

My mother’s sister had two sons and three daughters. Her husband often insulted me; he once said that my voice sounded like a duck.

One day, her husband called me over and gave me some of his daughters’ used clothes. I was so happy that I quickly took them home. When I got home, I tried on each dress one by one while dancing with joy. I couldn’t wait to wear them.

The next morning, after taking a shower, I put on one of the dresses. Every day I had to go to the market to buy things for my mother. She would deliberately ask me to go back and forth to the market several times just to make me suffer.

To get to the market, I had to pass by my mother’s sister’s house and my grandmother’s house. The distance from my house to the market was only about 100 meters. When I passed by my aunt’s house, her sons stopped me on the road and shouted,

“Why are you wearing my sister’s dress? You stole my sister’s dress!”

They yelled so loudly that my grandmother came out of her house and said,

“Take off the dress and give it back to them.”

I didn’t go to the market that day. I had to take off the dress right there and ran home naked. They all laughed loudly, pointing at me as I ran crying back home.

When I arrived home, my mother said nothing. She didn’t even ask what had happened, let alone defend me. I always hoped to feel protected, safe, and loved by my mother — but I never did.

The next day, as I passed by my aunt’s house again, her husband called me and asked for all of his daughters’ old clothes that he had given me.

I went home to get the clothes and returned them to him. Before giving them back, I looked at each one and cried. My dream of wearing something nice and beautiful disappeared that day.

Later, I found out that it had all been a trap. My aunt’s husband had given me those old clothes just to humiliate me. The clothes I returned were then given to his neighbor’s daughter instead. He cared more for the neighbor’s child than for his poor little niece.

They were happy to see me suffer.
