July 1st 1995 is the day Toyosin will never forget in her life. The day robbers broke into her home and raped her in the presence of her parents and siblings.

They had all just finished having dinner and were about retiring to their bedrooms when someone kicked their door open.

They were four men in total. Three of them had guns with them while the last one had a machete.

The one with the machete seemed to be their leader as he was the one who spoke and ordered them to lay on the floor.

After about ten minutes of ransacking their house and taking their valuables, it was time to leave. But the last one, the one with the machete felt he hadn't done enough damage, so he walked up to Toyosin and did what every girl in her early-twenties prayed never to happen to them, he raped her.

Two months later, she found out she was pregnant. The seed that man planted in her had germinated. She was carrying the child of a man she knew nothing about, other than the scar that she saw on his right hand while he unzipped his trouser that night. She felt like dying.

Toyosin probably would have killed herself if it weren't for her family who stood by her. Toyosin's Dad was a religious man so he prevented her from aborting the child in her stomach. It was the most agonizing seven months of her life.

After the delivery, her parents volunteered to help raise her boy. They didn't want what happened to affect her life in any way but it was a little too late for that, Toyosin now saw men as the monsters they were. She vowed never to give herself to any man. She was going to work hard for herself and her son.
