My stained 🩸🩸🩸underwear !!

Growth is inevitable as been said and growing up as a naive from a village from the south west region of Camerooon called MFAITOCK I A in the MANYU DIVISION. I was 8years old when I left my beautiful village with all the amazing experience I had beside my mom , brothers and sister .The truth is not only my family made my staying in the village beautiful but all my entire community because we all lived like one big family and with all that I find it very hard to live my land. Ehh!! on this particular day,we received a call from my aunt (who is of late now😭😭) tell my mom that she will like to take along with her to the North Region of Cameroon GAROUA to be precise. I was so happy!so.... happy hoo! that I had to announce the good news to all my classmates and family sisters and brothers because so sad as it is I had no friend of mine. The day of my departure finally came! I was happy leaving my village to experience all what I have been hearing of life in the city and how I will watch TV without being flogged by my teachers at school,eat biscuits , bread and butter and chocolate without having to wait till cocoa period to eat such..and may other experiences but at the same time I was not happy bus at that particular times was the only left with her in the village and you can imagine how helpful I was to her especially with the fact that she has a bad leg and fines it hard to work for long hours and those who knows who how village life is all about ,how it's hard to get drinking water only the strong can go down that high hill to fetch water and my mom can't do all that so I had tears in eyes leaving my sweet mama all alone. Let's get now to what happened when I got to Garoua  first time and I stayed for so long and on the 28 of June (sorry I didn't mark the year because I had no idea of keeping of menstrual cycle track as I know today). On that faithful day,(OYAH prepare your lungs to laugh at this village girl and her experience.)On that ,I was making a meal for the entire family and I really do love cooking ooo . I was almost rounding off with the meal,I started noticing that flies were round me and as my mom taught me that when ever I noticed such,it means that some thing with a bad odour is eventually around and need to be found And I immediately started my investigation as an FBI (I saw this in a movie )but what make my investigation different was that I ended up discovering that I was the suspect of my own investigation! that is to say the flies were following but the smell of the blood that was on my pants!! how did I know? I eventually run to the rest room when I felt pains under my abdomen and also like something is dripping on my underwear. As soon as I got to the rest room, JESUS!! EHHH!!Mami ehhh!!, What's all this blood blood for!,did someone raped while asleep!(don't mind my childish thoughts oo that time I had no idea but as I saw it on TV ,Tv again Joanna!)it took me a while for my to even know what to do oo because I have never seen such or been told about such an incident ehh see me oo!!. After standing there for hours! I still didn't know what to do .so an I deal came to my mind .This  was it, I had old rappers (that's how we call it in Africa) and they were given to me by my late Aunt madam Mavia Rose Ebot(I celebrate her for the impact she  had in my  life .) OK let's move on,I had to divide these rappers in to pieces and folded it ,then I placed it on my new underwear  but before that great idea of mine, I had to pom hot water thinking it will Wash all the blood in my stomach but no...it didn't, I doubled many underwear but  to no avail . I was so sad and tied of life just in one day I had think the hell out of my life ,all my ideas got finished that I ended up using folded rappers and I helped because the stain could not be seen anymore and that relieved me so much. This experience just in one day was sad as the pains was unbearable and also because I wished I was with my mom for how to give me answers to all this and even tell me the name of this illness because I don't know how after knowing my female genital part was only meant to sent out urine,and today blood is also coming out. The worst of it all is that ,I don't even know which part of my private part this blood is coming out and how long will it flow,how am I going to know what to take so as to make it go away .I did not know whether something has entered my private or someone slept with me without my knowledge,the worst of it was ,what am I going to do when these my rappers finished  what am I going to do ehh .The menstrual pad known today I had never touched one except seeing it on TV! .my late Aunt asked ones whether I had seen my period or not and NO was my answer because I had not seen for real and no elderly person spoke to me about it .To cut it short,Thank God I made it.if you want to know how I got my pad each month let me know!!
