STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

UNGRATEFUL HUMAN BEING


Good day Madam Stella,


I appreciate how you touch lives through your platform and I pray God will continually uphold your ministry.


There's this young lady who used to be my neighbour in my former area on the mainland as far back as 2010. She would always come around to assist with chores, we grew so close that she soon became a family friend. Later in 2012, my family and I moved to the island, she comes visiting and stays for a few days before going back. I'm about 4yrs older than her so I took her as my younger sister. I would usually give her clothes, shoes and money whenever she comes around.


Fast forward to early 2017, she was around when I started my new business that fetched me daily income. She then requested for my support towards her upcoming tailoring school graduation, I promised to send her 10k but unfortunately things turned sour that period. My mum was so sick, I was robbed at axe point on my way home from work, I lost over a hundred thousand naira cash POS sales that I just recovered from the lounge after 2 days, my phones, workers phone and even sustained mild cuts from the axe.

 It was a nightmare for Me, the fear of what happened couldn't make me work for almost a week, I was in so much shock. I couldn't get a new staff so the lounge continued without Me, I lost that opportunity. This girl on the other hand kept calling and I told her I'm sorry I won't be meeting up as promised but I'll let her know as soon as I'm back on my feet. She got angry and started posting funny stuffs on WhatsApp, "stay away from people that can't help You, bla!!!" I kuku caught my sub and stayed away from her, we never talked again until August last year.


She reached out, apologised and I told her it's ok but gave her a piece of my mind. In September she gave me a distress call that her mum was down with stroke and they needed help badly, I was also going to pay for something important so i asked of her siblings, she badmouthed them that everyone is saying they don't have money yet.

 I squeezed 5k out of my savings and sent to her, I was always calling to check on them till the mum got better. 2weeks later I invited her to come around and take some of my stuffs since I cleared my wardrobe and enough to give out. She came and I simply just moved on from everything that happened in the past and we got along real quick. I asked how's business and she said it was so challenging that she now cooks noodles opp a factory in her area. I felt pity for her and encouraged her to stay strong, gave her tfare and she left same day.


We were always in touch, my hubby travelled to the UK in December so I didn't decline when she asked to come around for Xmas, my younger cousins were also around, It was all fun. She left early January but before then she made me realize her business isn't doing so well that she wouldn't mind if i can help her get a job around. I called to discuss it with my mum who declined her staying with me even if she gets a job, my mum offered her stay at her own place instead. So she left to pick her stuffs and came back to stay with my mum.

sometimes she comes to help me out since I'm pregnant. My elder sis directed her to a mall around where she dropped her CV and luckily got the job to be paid 30k and resume in March. Her boss requested her she brings a written and signed guarantors letter before resumption which I gladly did.


For the times she's at my place this girl wakes up 9am, I would've done the chores n finished making breakfast so all she does is package food and leave for work at 10am since she resumes 11am. Except for her off days which is Wednesday when she take out time to help me wash because I do not have a washing machine yet. Whenever she wants to wash, I pick out I and my husband's undies to wash myself but I still help out in rinsing other clothes with her. On resumption, hubby had given me money for monthly housekeep so I gave her 10k to sustain her for tfare, my elder sister also sent her 4k. We stay in a 3bedroom so she practically owns a room to herself. I checked for some work clothes that were no longer my size for her and also took her for medical when she complained of constant chest pain.



One day we washed late in the afternoon so the clothes only drained water and we packed it all inside, I woke up feeling sick the next morning and asked that she help me hang the clothes before I leave for the clinic. We both left home together, I stopped at the market on my home so I was a bit late. Went to the back yard pack out clothes only to find my hubby's undies inside a bucket still wet. She didn't spread them, I was shocked. I was done making dinner and decided to call my mum to ask for her opinion and be sure I wasn't blowing things out of proportion. 

My mum said no vex but let her return from work then you can ask her why. Sister came back, showered and ate then I called her ask why and also brought other doings to her notice, she said she doesn't know how to touch someone else's husband's undies, that even when she visits her own blood sister's it's same. I said Ok, no wahala.


The next morning my husband was traveling, he suggested I go to my mum's so I agreed. When I got to my mum's place, my ears were full. She complained about how this girl only fetches the water she uses because their pumping machine is bad so the fetch from the next compound. She goes to work with food flask of continental food and small plate of soup then wrap Eba inside nylon, she still comes back for already made dinner and because she wakes up late, my mum would've done the dishes including her 2office plates tied in a nylon before she wakes up. I asked my mum why she allowed her, even at my place she only takes a meal to work. She's lived with my mum for like 2months but never washed a single wrapper for her but the other day I rushed out to get eggs for breakfast, this same girl went to knock hubby's room asking for his laundry basket but he declined til i was back home. So she only fetches water to bath and wash her clothes with mama's soap and can't wash for her. I felt so bad like giving her a second chance was a total mistake.


So the week of Lagos lockdown before the Federal announcement, she woke up so early and was doing chores, I was up and asked her why she's up so early, she said she's going out to see her mum at her elder sis place around LASU, shes not feeling well. When she was ready to leave I gave her 1k to add up her tfare but immediately after she left, I was going through my phone and after listening to that WHO guy's audio on COVID-19 I got scared and called her to please come back knowing fully well that she wouldn't have gone far. I told her she's likely to get contact with lots of people and coming back here might not be safe for us, promised I'll get airtime so we can call to check on the mum and send whatever we can to her. 

She reluctantly answered, "I dey lekki" i said please make your decision and get bacn to me, this was about 10:35am in the morning. I also explained to my mum and every half an hour she'd ask me if she has called I said NO. Till 4pm I got angry and told my mum that it's obvious we're housing a full grown adult who doesn't regard anyone here, even if she wasn't gonna come back she would've at least called back. I sent her a message on WhatsApp at 7pm stating how disappointed I was and letting her know i won't put my family on the line for her. She responded immediately, asking if it's just the pandemic issue or she did something else. I told her no hard feelings, she should kindly stay with her family until after the lockdown. She responded that she would love to come pick some of her things and would ask her boss to allow her sleep in the office. I just laughed and told her to let me know when she's coming. She called my mum the next day and my mum told her she doesnt have a business in this matter since I was the one that brought her here, besides why didn't you call all through yesterday?

 She came later in the evening, I gave her soap to wash her hands outside and also sanitizer. She entered picked some clothes n left. I asked where she's going and she said her friends place, I said ok. I never heard from her, my mum got worried and asked me to reach her n be sure she's safe. 2 days later I was leaving back home since hubby called that he's home, I called her and she said she's fine. Because I had started seeing her funny WhatsApp posts as usual, I requested for her elder sis digit, the one her mum was with. 

Till today Stella the number is always switched off. Lol


So this morning I got out of the bathroom and saw her sms saying that she's resuming work in Monday and would love to pick her remaining things from my mum's. She already called my mum but was told to call me as I've instructed. I also saw 2 missed calls from her. So I had less than 20naira on my phone and decided to text her back, "I was in the shower when u called kindly call back" it's been over 6hrs and I haven't seen her call. My own is, I've completely lost trust in her, I feel the need to revoke the guarantors letter I wrote and signed with my full address since she's no longer staying with Me, then I can let her pick herr belongings. In that letter i said she's my cousin and i would bear responsibility for any misconduct, even my husband doesn't know she's not a relation. I'm just scared but my mum says I should let go which I refuse.


Stella please your red pen is needed, am I overreacting or? Sorry for the long epistle.

*You said she is your cousin?Well if she does anything or steals you will bear the brunt.....

She is old enough so let her be,let her go without grudges,just revoke the leter and move on!
