Disappointment can come in any form, it may come from the person you love most and this can cause the relationship to be questionable, things may not go the way you want and the way it used to be, and getting disappointed by people will always happen because we are humans and are bound to offend each other but the level at which we offend each other's differ.
I was disappointed by my sister, this girl is my junior sister but she is my cousin, we are not from the same mother but she lives with us, no one knows that we are not blood sisters, we related well and her responsibility was on my parents, no room for anyone to suspect that we aren't blood sisters.
We were close to the point that we shared things, she wore my dresses and I always educated her about things around especially Men, always tutored her on the right path and was never too strict with her, though I did not give her all the freedom she desires because she is still in her secondary school level and I believe there should be boundaries for her at that level.
When I gained admission into the university I had to leave the house because it was in another state, we have been communicating on the phone and my visitation is never as strong as it used to be, I always visit once in a while, then after my graduation, I decided to take up my responsibilities and fed for myself, I no longer live with my parent but my cousin sister is still there with them.
Two years ago, I got a call from my mother and she reported to me that she had been misbehaving, not taking to correction, and was always adamant, these complaints are too much and my mother knows that we are close, she could have reported her to my older siblings and those ones will deal with her thoroughly because they are the ones paying her school fees, but she reported to me so that I could talk to her which I did, I called her and we spoke at length, I warned her about wayward lifestyle and she promised to change.
I never knew that I added fuel to the burning fire, instead for her to change she now deteriorating, she began to go out without informing my Mother, she was about to write her final secondary school examination which we know as WAEC in my country when they noticed that she was pregnant, the school had to expel her because she would not be able to sit for the examination.
I was so disappointed when I got the news, I placed her higher than that, I did not know that this girl had been seeing men and the news came as a shock to me, I cried despite I was not the victim, she disappointed everyone in the family and the guy who impregnated her denied her totally, he is a secondary school guy as well and I guess he was afraid of holding up to his responsibility and his parents might kill him for doing that.
My cousin stopped school and decided to be a mother at a tender age because my mother would never support abortion, while the guy continued with his education, he wrote the final examination and now he is planning to further his education while my cousin is at home breastfeeding the child because she gave birth last year, it was so painful that no one is ready to take up her responsibility again except for my mother.
Her action was so disappointing and when I saw this prompt I said I must write about it, disappointment does not only from friends or relationships, it may come from siblings whom you expected much from and later disappointed you, my cousin had planned her life that she wanted to become a pilot and had designed her years in school but now she had to slow down and register for the final examination this year in another state because of mockery from her teachers.
