Njola was a widow who lost her husband eight years
ago. She lived in a dilapidated house with her children.
Njola as a woman and a mother had lived a joyous
life with her husband before his untimely death. She later fell into the hands
of his womaniser boss who was just interested in abusing her and left her to
die a sympathetic death. Many a woman has died a similar death.
Njola's story
Njola has been a pride of her family when she got
married to Sutuko, a construction consultant who worked with an engineering
company, immediately after the completion of her senior secondary school.
Her husband's talent had saved the engineering
company a fortune during his seven years of service. The young consultant
enjoyed life with his wife. He always felt proud of her among her peers. He
found Njola as a virgin when they got married. This earned Njola respect both
in her family and that of sutuko.
No sooner was her husband elevated to the position
of chief consultant than his services were terminated. Neighbours, relatives
and friends attributed it to superstition.
