How I Became His Lover At Night And Sister During The Day- Nursing Mum Opens Up About The Father Of Her Twins

It’s a hard knock life for 22-year-old Kenyan woman and nursing mum Patricia Kakayi, who has decided to tell the world of what she’s endured in the hands of a man who is her lover and the father of her twins.

Speaking with New Vision, the nursing mum, who was struggling to breastfeed her malnourished set of twins, could not hold back her tears as she narrated her horrific story.

Patricia said it all began when she got pregnant and the man responsible was not willing to support her.

“He went to Kampala looking for a job and I never heard from him again,” she says.

Desperate and naive, Patricia decided to leave Mbale, where she stayed, and travel to Kampala in the hope of reuniting with the father of her daughter or maybe get a job to make ends meet.

Things, however, did not turn out as expected because she landed in the hands of a despicable man called Fred, a security guard who promised her, as they say, heaven-on-earth. The security guard, Kakayi and his daughter lived at Namuwongo in a one-roomed house with a curtain in the middle to separate the sitting space from the sleeping area.

She added: “Everything was fine until the beast in Fred came out. Every night he came and forced himself on me. When I resisted, he threatened to throw me out.”

Narrating further, Kakayi claimed that Fred would introduce her as his sister and refused her to reveal to anyone that he used to have sexual intercourse with her.

As time went on, she got pregnant and when she informed Fred, he allegedly told her to abort it. She refused to take that path. As a result, Kakayi was forced to become the breadwinner because Fred had stopped looking after her and her daughter.

“Given my condition, I had to wash people’s clothes in order to put food on the table and save some money to cater for the hospital bills,” she says.

Kakayi later welcomed a set of twins but sadly, Fred never showed up at the hospital. In fact, he even denied being the twins’ father and threatened to run away.

“When I returned from the hospital, Fred had remarried,” she recalls.

Today, Kakayi stays with a friend, together with her 4-year-old daughter who is starting school next year and her 1-year-old twin boys. She earns about sh2,000 daily from selling food, which job she says she is soon losing because her boss claims it is making losses.
