Her classmate left that doctor's house and they went to another woman's house, where it didn't work out. She left for a third home, and the sons in that home would rape her. There were four boys.
"When her husband returned home, he also did the same." The man asked her to be his third wife.
She said it tortured her for months. She was afraid of being homeless, so she took the situation. Her mum came later and they reconnected. Akinyi was pregnant by then again.
The rape incidents continue to torment her. "It made me do what I do right now for a living." She argued that how she earns her living ensures her siblings don't go through her life of rape.
"I know all those things happened to me coz nobody gave me a shoulder to lean on."
Her mother returned after this and they went together. Things were not rosy and Akinyi ran away after a confrontation about money.
Another woman picked her up and took her home as a domestic worker. The woman accused her of sleeping with her husband.
The woman beat her pregnant belly and the baby died, still not knowing she was pregnant. She ran away to her former teacher's home to live there. The man later 'married' Becky.
She miscarried during the pregnancy. "They threw the baby in the latrine. It killed me, I thought I would be given the baby to bury at home."
She went back to her mother again. She was then forced into early marriage by her mother to a physically abusive man.
Akinyi told her mum about the beatings but didn't sympathize. "She never gave me a shoulder to lean on, she never listened to me."
Her mum used to beat her whenever she ran away from that husband. Her frustration saw her make the decision to leave Migori for Nairobi.
She was then raped by a boda boda guy who took her in. The marriage failed after beatings again. She got to Nairobi and has never looked back.
