Akanni entered her house at about 10:38PM. Most of her neighbors were already indoors, as there was light. She'd been at her mom's place and as she always tended to, didn't pay attention to the time.
She contemplated going to bed without showering, since it was already late and she dreaded going to their backyard bathroom at night. But since her skin was horribly clammy, she decided to take a quick shower at the back of her building.
It wasn't a secure place and her husband had even warned her the first time he realized that she sometimes showered there, not to do so anymore. What if someone bad and dangerous met her there? Didn't she think it was a stupid way to get hurt?
But, Akanni reasoned, the neighborhood she lived in had always been safe, and there was almost no one about by this time. Besides her husband was not around. He'd travelled and was due back tomorrow. She would be quick and he would never know.
So she hauled cold water in a bucket to the back of her house. After glancing carefully around, she untied her towel, put it on the clothes line above her, and quickly washed herself down.
She closed her eyes, rubbed soap on her face to wash it, and that was when she felt it.
A presence behind her.
She hurriedly tried to wash soap away from her eyes, trying to squelch panic. Before she could finish however, strong arms grabbed her naked body from behind.
Male arms.
Akanni tried to scream(her neighbors would hear), but one big hand covered her mouth. She struggled wildly and fruitlessly and was about to faint from fear, when her assaulter spoke in a deep voice.
"Didn't I warn you?" He asked.
She opened her eyes and turned in shock, not caring about the soap(there were more painful situations than soap in one's eyes afterall)and beheld the face of her assaulter.
It was her husband.
And Akanni didn't know whether to melt from mortification or cry in relief.
