FREEDOM AND CONTRACT

I look around the prison walls leaning my back on the wall with my inmates discussing while some where having arguments , tears dripped down my face,I began to think back to how I had gotten to prison, how some couple who had promised to helped me during pregnancy had sent me to jail.

My baby was taken away and I was also thrown into jail.

I should have known that the reason they had helped me was just to take my baby away.

My name Anita Davies, I am twenty two years old.

I got into this prison since I was eighteen.

It's been five years now here in this prison, I missed my babies, how I wish I would just have someone who will help me go check my babies and tell me how they are doing.

I was still thinking when a warden came my to call my name.

I was scared because I didn't know why I was being called out.

The warden opens the gate of the prison room and I stepped out looking into the wardens face with fears written all over my face because I do not know if I had done something wrong that is why I was being called out because I have seen so many people go in and out of here and never return.

Mine is a life imprisonments but I have seen some people taken back to the court and next they will say evidence had shown that the person should be hanged to death.

When I got out of the prison room, I was taking to where some prisoners like me are lined up outside in three lines and I was told to go and join them.

I look back at the warden with fears written on my face and the biggest announcement was made , an unexpected announcement was made by the chief warden who was standing in front of us.

" Congratulations, today is our Independence Day and the federal government has decided to give amnesty fifty prisoners and you all that are standing here are the lucky ones congratulations to you all for your freedom but remember to be of good manners out there so that you do not return into this place " the chief warden says.

All the prisoners screams out happily in joy we all embrace ourselves but I was still rooted to my feet because I am yet to believe that I am free after five years in the prison for a crime I never committed.

It's time to get back my kids, I will do my best to fight to take back my kids.

My kids must be five now, they must have grown , I don't even know what they look like , they were just three months old when I landed in the prison.

Mrs Sam must have thought I will never get out of here, she must have thought she would have my babies for ever but that won't happy, I do not care if it will take my last breath to take back my kids.

Everyone of us rushed into the office where our things will be given to us.

I collected my dress, the yellow flare dress that I was wearing before entering into the prison, nothing more.

I took the yellow flare gown, I stare at it and it reminds me of how Mrs Sam kept pointing at me with my babies in my arms while I was trying to run away with them after being a witness to how she suffocated her husband to death.

Tears dripped down my face , I quickly dry my face with the back of my palm, I quickly wear my dress.

" You have to be strong to get your kids back" I said to myself.

After dressing up, I have nothing more to wear or do, I walked out of the dressing room, I stepped on the lawn of the prison and walked into the prison compound while some made call for their people to pick them up.

I had no one to pick me up , I have nowhere to go , I just don't know where to even go.

I was still thinking about my life when I collided with a man, his car key fell down from his hand.

I quickly bend down to pick the car key from him.

We both touch the key at the same time and he smiled.

We look into each other's face as we both bend down.

I blinked my eyes at the way he stared at me while I stare at him too but my reason for staring at him was very different, those eyes , the set of teeth reminds me of my first sex. 

I quickly stood up while he also stood straight.

" I am sorry, I didn't see you coming" he says.

" It's fine" He said.

He was still standing while I just walk away from him, I walked out of the compound of the prison.

Whalen I walked out of the gate, I stood and flash back to how I ran away from home when I discovered that I was pregnant.

I remember being afraid that my parent will find out and I will be punish for that.

I thought I could look for some money and get an abortion then but I had met with the wrong person who made my life miserable.

I shut my eyes to push back the tears that was going to fall of my face but I couldn't, I dried my face and continue walking.

I walked through the walkway with so many things going on in my head.

I was looking around and I could see everywhere changed and I began to get worried of where to go, I definitely cannot go home.

I was in deep thought when a car pulled up beside me.

" Hey pretty" it was a familiar voice the same voice that spoke to me when we collided but I wasn't interested in knowing who it was.

I didn't even bother looking at the person instead I keep walking and the car slowed down and keep driving and trying to talk to me.

I rolled my eyes and didn't answer, finally the car stopped and he came to stand in front of me.

I looked up and he gave me his beautiful smile.

" I am Brian" he says.

" Be my guest for today, you can name your price if you wish" he says.

I just walked away from him.
