You think it's funny how you make everybody in the house cry, overthink and make you a prayer point daily. How dare you go to my purse to remove the money I kept there, don't you know I had plans for that money? Are you mad? Haven't you done enough already? See, let me tell you people in this house, anybody that would waste money on this boy again in the name of school fees would see the results. How do you waste money on a thief and a failure, imagine your last semester result all F and you're not ashamed of yourself. Have been respecting myself since I came back to this house but you don't want to respect yours. Imagine a lion as your father and you're looking and acting like a goat. If you're not careful you will be burnt alive and you will die before your time if you don't stop picking people's stuff . Don't you know that's stealing ? Stupid child.
This was me ranting out of anger to my brother in the early hours of the morning while sweeping the compound. This could have been settled peacefully between ourselves but I was angry and pissed . I watched my mom cry bitterly because of all the things I said to my brother. On the other hand, my brother for the first time became quiet and sober.
I came back from school for the semester break broke but with a little cash which honestly if you come back to the house without your own cash even if it's small you would see a bit of shege because it's not everything you would have to ask your parents. So before coming home have gotten lots of complain about my brothers negative behaviours which didn't seat well with me, so I promised myself that I was just going to mind my business when I got back home but my brother didn't let that happen
He makes sure he constantly got on my last neves and I tried my best to ignore . But on this faithful day I kept a change of 500 naira in my bag for my data cause I needed data to do some research work after doing my house chores and preparing meals . I woke up in the morning chwvked my pursue I couldn't find the money there and scattered my handbag didn't see it and you can imagine your last card been stolen. So I decide to ask my mum first so I'll know what to do she said she didn't pick it , so instantly I knew it was my brother who picked it . I shouted, I lamented but he acted less concern even after saying it calmly so I got pissed
And said a whole lot coupled with the complains have been getting from my parents about his nonchalant and negative behaviours .
After saying all the stuffs I said out of anger. I was broken and found myself weeping not because of the money but because I reduced his esteem and hurt not just him but my mom. Watching my mum cried and my brother sitting sadly
I felt bad and instantly regretted all I said I wished I could take the back immediately . I left what I was doing went inside and wept bitterly .
I had the chance to apologize which I did and reconziled with him.
His behaviour was painful but wasn't worth the hateful and hurtful words I used on him . Never use or at word when your agree you would definitely regret it .
Thanks for reading my story 🫶❤️
