He Did EVERYTHING He Could To Please His GIRLFRIEND,But He Got The..#africanfolktales #story #tales – Ty
Many years ago in Surulere, Lagos, there was a man that a family loved more than their own peace. His name was Yemi, and then for complete 2 years, that family treated him like an answered prayer. That was the family of his fiancee, Simi. Yemi was just 28 years old. He worked very hard as a young man. He finished school and couldn’t get an office work.
He worked in one logistic company. He managed to get a small car, and he has a very saving habit that has helped him over the years. He doesn’t spend recklessly. He manages his money, his time, and he knows how valuable family is. He met Simi one fateful evening, the day he went to go and deliver a package to a client in one of the big estates in Lagos.
When he dropped the package, Simi and the clients were standing outside. Simi could not stop staring at him. She was basically flirting with him. In fact, it was Simi that made the first move. She complimented his looks. “You look very handsome.” Yemi smiled and said, “Thank you.” Then Simi requested for his contact in case if she has probably a personal item she wants to deliver, that she would want to work with him one-on-one without working with the company.
Yemi agreed and gave her his number. And that was how the friendship started. Simi called days later, claiming she has a package for him to deliver, and invited him over to the family house. When he came, she actually gave him the package. And from there, Yemi took her very serious and Yemi loved the fact that Simi was really bold to approached him.
He had always loved women who are outstanding, audacious, smart and very confident. So, he thought. Yemi invited her over for a dinner about two to three times and Simi granted the wish. Always come dressing beautifully. From those dates, they get to know each other. Simi get to know what exactly Yemi does apart from his logistic business.
And Yemi too get to knows that Simi works in one of the top biggest oil company in the city. So, she was no ordinary girl. But, what surprised him the most is what this rich girl want from a guy who is not actually hungry or poverty-stricken, but a guy who is just surviving and doesn’t have the kind of money she has. At first, Simi didn’t really think much about it.
She thought maybe she’s just those kind of ladies that love men who are working hard and they want someone to build it. So, he kept his cool and decided to do things that he can afford and not go overboard just to impress her. He had come from a home where he was loved and he was taught contentment no matter what. Don’t go overboard for any human being because you will end up regretting it.
Then, after 8 months of knowing each other, Simi decided to invite Yemi over to her family house where she stays. She doesn’t stay alone. She stays with her parents. Yemi was nervous at first, but agreed later on. Simi invited him over one fateful Sunday evening. When Yemi arrived at the family house, he had been there before, but he had entered inside.
It was a very big mansion. Showing that Simi did not come from a very poor home. She came from a very wealthy home. When Yemi entered, he wasn’t intimidated. He was so confident. He arrived with some gifts, especially zobo drink for Simi’s father. What Simi had mentioned once that his father liked zobo without sugar because of his health.
So, Yemi decided to go and get a very good brand. When he presented the gift to the father, the father looked at the gifts. He removed every other thing inside the nylon, but kept on staring at the zobo. He looked at his wife, looked at Simi, and looked back at the bottle. Then the man smiled. “Hmm, this one is different. I love it.
Thank you so much. It seems my daughter have told you a lot about me. That is why you got me zobo without sugar.” The man thanked him over and over again, and Yemi got tired of the thank you, and just begged him to stop already. He was really welcomed very well. For a man who just entered his girlfriend’s family home for the first time, he was expected Simi’s father, or especially the mother, to be testing him.
Maybe to question him about his income, or to know what he does, the kind of rich family he came from, or start comparing him with someone else. But, Yemi was surprised. This couple did not test him. They didn’t even ask him about his income. He was treated like someone they already knew. He was welcomed well. They served food on the dining table, and they all ate like one big family.
They gestured, cracked joke. Yemi was still waiting for so many questions coming from the mother. Due to the way the woman was looking at him from head to toe. Yet, nothing. They only told him that since they are of old age, that he should just be visiting them often and on just to check on them. They would love it.
Yemi being a good man was very happy and promised to be visiting more often. And that was how he collected Yemi’s number. Yemi also saved theirs. Yemi was so happy after the visit. You really outdid yourself. My parents love you so much. Yemi was so happy that evening. Yes, of course. I didn’t know that your parents are this accommodating, funny. Wow.
They really did well in raising you. You are so humble and kind. Well, I was expecting your mother to question me, where do you work, which family do you come from? I hope you’re not from one of those gold diggers that looking for a rich woman to come and reap all more. I’m so happy that your parents are not those kind of people that are money conscious or looking for wealthy people to, you know, kind of establish with their own daughter.
But, I didn’t get to see any of your siblings. You told me you have one, right? Yes. He’s in school. So, she’s not here. It’s only me, my mom and my dad and the house helps also. Oh, that’s good. I promise, I will visit often since they requested for it personally. I will do that. Yemi was happy, of course. Please do.
Visit more often, okay? If my parents go for an interview, your life might change. Who knows? And that’s was how Yemi would visit every weekend. Whenever he shows up, there There always something to fix in the kitchen. There is always something to be attended to. They had already taken Simi’s mother and father to the hospital twice in one week.
It even got to the point that he even washed the three cars in the compound one fateful day. Because it was all looking dirty and the person they called for car wash didn’t arrive on time. Yemi decided to do a good boyfriend or son-in-law-to-be and washed the whole cars. You know, husband material. As he was doing that, the neighbor next door, Mama Kemi, a woman who ran fabric business from her veranda, was busy looking at him from her veranda.
She was seated with another neighbor and they were busy gossiping about him. ; ; Omo, see this one, no. It be like say he’s the new mugu in the house. But this one looks very hard-working and attentive. Maybe they will choose this one finally for that their Yeye daughter. Abiola, the other woman replied. Maybe finally Simi will settle down and stop jumping from one man to the other.
Maybe this one is the main one. This one is washing car. Because it has been long we’ve seen any man in this compound. So suddenly seeing this one that is washing car, maybe they are finally choosing him. And they went to pick him up from the gutters with the way he was looking. Every other suitor that have come for Simi, they are always very rich.
None of them can stoop so low as to do this kind of rubbish. I guess this one was picked up from the village. I just pray that when his eyes clear and he knows who exactly this family are, he will not take their fortune and run away. Mama Kemi started laughing. For where? I would be. He doesn’t even know the family he’s dealing with.
He cannot even try it. He will not be too smart. This one has a connection. They are not the kind of people to be ripped over. This one is a 100% husband material. Now, wow. I wonder what a beautiful girl like Simi is doing jumping from one man to the other instead of settling down once and for all. As they were busy gossiping, Simi and her best friend Sandra walked inside the compound and met Yemi washing the car.
Sandra was really shocked but had to hide her expression. Yemi, Yemi, how far? Yemi was so happy to see her because it was through her that she met Simi. Ah, Madam Sandra, right? Yes. Wow, that’s been long ago since that day I delivered your package. I’ve not come to your area since then. Yes.
But what are you doing here? Sandra asked him. Simi on the other part walked past him as if she didn’t even notice him and went inside while Sandra stood outside and was chatting with him. Yemi noticed how cold Simi was looking at him and asked Sandra if all is well or she had a bad day. Sandra smiled. Oh, nothing. Or maybe later. You can ask her yourself.
I don’t know what actually. We were cool when we were just coming in so I don’t know what happened and she switched mood. But why are you washing the cars? You have someone that comes here to wash cars. Uh, yes. Um, I decided to wash the cars after Simi’s mother requested I clean up one that I will use to drive them to the hospital.
So, after that, I looked at the remaining two cars, they were dirty. I decided to wash everything. Ah, ah. Yemi, Yemi. But it’s not your job. Why are you doing it? Is it that you want them to like by fire by force or you’re just pushing yourself towards them? Because this is stooping so low. Tell me the truth.
I like saying the things how it’s supposed to be said. Look at how the neighbors are staring at you. It’s so embarrassing. Please drop all these things. Please stop, okay? Maybe that’s the reason why Simi is even angry. But Yemi did not see anything wrong in what he was doing. See, Sandra, I’m just helping out though.
I don’t see anything wrong with what I’m doing. But if it’s going to cause trouble, I’ll stop. Let’s go inside. Before they move inside, Sandra stopped him and asked him one simple question. Ever since you started dating my friend, have you noticed anything strange? Maybe her character, the way she talks to you, or anything? Did she tell you anything? Or even the parent, did they tell you anything? No.
Yemi looked genuinely confused. Nobody told me anything. The last time I spoke to Simi, we were cool. We were fine. We even arranged to go on a vacation together. Vacation? Yes. She wanted to sponsor my visa. She wants to take me to Paris and we’ll spend almost a month there, according to her. I’m so excited actually because I’ve not traveled out of the country.
Hmm. I just have one thing to tell you, Sandra said to Yemi. If you’re wise, you would understand this. And please, don’t tell Simi I said so. If a family is more excited about a relationship than the actual person in the relationship, pay attention to that gap. What do you mean? But Sandra refused to explain.
Don’t worry yourself. With time you will find out. All I tell you is be on the lookout. Be smart. Observe things around you. You’re not a small boy. And enjoy your trip. Bye. ; ; Yemi stood there for a while thinking the meaning of what Sandra said. But he couldn’t put those words together.
He was so confused. Instead of thinking and keep on confusing himself, he decided to forget about that and put his head down as Sandra said so. He decided to be more observant. But in just 7 days, the visa to Paris came out. And Simi called him over to the house. When he came over, Simi handed over his own passport to him.
What does it say when Yemi opened it? It turns out it has been approved. Yemi was so happy. He wanted to hug Simi, but Simi pushed him away. Yemi asked her if all is well and why she’s pushing him away. Simi then replied, “This is my family house. This is not the hotel we used to meet. Okay? So, you can’t just come in here hugging me anyhow.
I just gave you your passport. It shows that it has been stamped and approved that we are leaving in the next 3 to 4 days. All you have to do is to go pack your things and get ready for this vacation. I don’t want to call you or remind you or you tell me you forgot or something more important. That is why I need to hold on to this passport.
Simi collected the passport from him. I’ll be holding on to your passports and you will go and get ready. In the next 3 days, we are leaving. Please, I beg you, do not mess things up. Yemi was genuinely happy. But he had to lay his complaints out. Simi, I am happy that our visas are out. But the way you treat me sometimes, it’s so cold.
At first, I thought whenever you are having a bad day, this is how you get to treat me. I try to hug you, you push me away, you don’t let me come close to you. You’re always happy whenever you want me on your bed. But, whenever it’s the other way around, I’m always like 1,000 steps away.
I should be there and don’t come close to you. What is it? You know there’s something wrong now? Why don’t you let me switch to a sweet person? Come on, Yemi. It’s not like that. You know I didn’t say that hug coming, okay? You should have actually asked for permission before you hug. You don’t just hug people like that. You don’t know if I’ve taken my bath or I rubbed something on my body I don’t want you to contact with something.
Please, I’ve always told you I’m not cold. I’m not heartless. Anytime I want my space, I want them. At least thank God you know I’m a very romantic person. I’m also good in bed. But, you see this one, please sit it out. Go and get ready, okay? I’ll see you in the next 3 days. If you have questions or you want me to know anything, you’re free to call me.
That same day, as Yemi went home, he decided to go straight to the family house. His own family house. Where his mother and three other siblings stays. Including his father, too. When he got there, his mother was so happy to see him. They hugged, they chatted, and Yemi then told his family that he’ll be traveling out in the next 3 days and he’s going to Paris with his girlfriend.
His mother was so happy. My dear, I’m so happy that you attracted this kind of rich woman in your life. Don’t let her go. Hold her very well. You know, this lady has changed our life. She moved us from the house we were living to this beautiful house. She gave me and your father a huge amount of money to start up a business.
Remi was confused. I don’t understand. When did all this happen? You people did not let me know. Well, she said we shouldn’t let you know, but I just want to let you know because you’re my son and I can’t hide anything from you. Just make sure you make her very happy. Don’t let that woman out of your life.
Please, she’s a blessing. Well, the last time she came here and helped us renovate this house to this extent and gave I and your father money to start up a business. Ever since then, she does not call and if I call her, she does not pick up. Even recently now, her number is no longer going. Anyways, I don’t know the reason why, but my own is hold her tight.
You understand? Remi smiled. Yes, Mama, I understand. When he was about to leave, one of his brothers followed him and then said to him, “Bro, you really look unhappy when Mama was telling you about what your girlfriend did for us. Why? I thought you should be proud.” Proud? That is not it. She never mentioned coming to my house.
I did not even give Simi this house address. I’ve never tried it. I’m totally confused what Mama is talking about. I just had to pretend as if I I know. But, how did she get the address to this house without me telling her? Well, something is fishy here and I don’t like the fact that I’m feeling somehow. I feel I am being used.
I’ve fallen in love with this woman and I don’t want heartbreak. The last heartbreak I had nearly take my life away. I don’t want another one. Why do I feel I’m being used? Well, what I can tell you, bro, is don’t love too hard. Women can disappoint, though. I know you’re a man that lives with principle, but I would advise you to keep all your principles aside and make sure you hold this one very tight. That’s all I can say.
Three days later, the D-day arrived and Yemi and Simi, they traveled out of the country. They went to Paris just as Simi said. Yemi was so happy and excited, even though he felt something wrong, but he couldn’t place it. He still kept his hope high that nothing wrong is happening. During their first week of trip, they enjoyed themselves.
They went to different outing, different location, taking pictures, making videos, creating memories. The second week, Simi did not even allow Yemi to leave the room. She wants to do the do every second, every minute, and Yemi found that to be very strange. At some point, he had to stop her. Anytime she’s trying to be unnecessarily nice towards him, he already knew what she wants to do.
Simi, calm down. Ah. Three days straight, no rest. What happened? I’m not a machine, oh. I never told you that I take drugs that gives me energy to do whatever you want me to do. What is it? Let us breathe a little bit. Let’s go out. Let’s swim. You know, we still have other cities to visit. Simi became aggressive for the first time.
Cities to visit? Is it your money that you will use and visit those cities? I’ve been spending thousands of dollars, pounds here, and you don’t know. Please, what I want is what I will get. I want you, and you is what I will get, period. This week is for us. This week we’re not going anywhere. If I want to do it 100 times a day, be ready to service me.
What is it self? You should be grateful. I’ve changed so many things in your life. I’ve turned your family around. I’ve I’ve given you money more than what you’ve earned in your lifetime. I’ve introduced you to my parents. What else do you want, Yemi? Why are you complaining? Sometimes as a woman, we have some high libido.
And when we want it, we get it. And you as my man, it is your duty to make sure I am fully satisfied. Please, don’t argue with me or put me off the mood. You will not like my actions. Wait. Simi, so all this is because of the fact that you helped my family and you have been sending me millions. I want to understand something.
How did you get my parents’ address? How did you get to know where they live? How How on earth did you even renovate a house, move them in, give my parents money for business, and I didn’t even know about it? If not that I went to go and tell them that I’ll be traveling out with you about weeks ago, I wouldn’t even know that you’ve done something like this for them.
What is your agenda? What is this relationship leading to? Simi, it’s been over 1 year, and I yet I can’t define this relationship. I told you let’s get married. I am financially okay. I have good savings. I have a good business. My logistic business makes me over 500,000 a month, sometimes more. And you earn as well.
If you want us to build together, let us build together. I’m not a poor person. That house you renovated, I felt really bad because I wanted to do it for my parents. I wanted to be the one to do it because those who you see, they did a lot for me. I know it is their duty, but my mom went beyond and far to make sure I finish school.
Please, I beg you. Where is this relationship heading to? I want to understand this. The next thing that happened scared the hell out of Yemi. The way Simi stared at him with dangerous eyes, she immediately started misbehaving. ; ; Started destroying things in the room. You are wicked, you are ungrateful, you poverty-stricken human being.
Ha! Yemi was shocked. Simi, what’s wrong with you? What’s going on? Why are you overreacting? Immediately, Simi ran inside the toilet and stayed there for over an hour. Yemi kept on banging. It was when he threatened her that he would go down and call the receptionist and the securities, including the manager, to come and bust the door open.
That was when Simi came out. He came out and became a different person. Started smiling. Come on, babe. I told you that I want us to have fun this week at home. Why do you want to go and call the security? In fact, it was as if everything that happened for the past 2 hours, Simi did not remember again. She immediately switched to a different personality.
She came close to Yemi and hugged him. Yemi played cool and did not overreact. That night, as Simi slept, Yemi took her phone and decided to go through it. Something is wrong somewhere, and he must find out what is wrong. He started going through her phone. After he successfully opened it with her fingerprint while sleeping, what Yemi saw shocked the living daylights out of him.
Immediately, that same night, he packed his bag, stole his passport, and he went back to Nigeria without seeing Mee. He used his money to book the next flight to Nigeria. He went back without completing the one month. He only spent 1 week and 4 days in Paris. Immediately he landed Nigeria, he went straight to Sandra’s house.
When Sandra saw him and the way he was looking, she knew maybe he had found out the truth. How on earth are you this heartless? Sandra was confused. Mee, heartless? Are you okay? How am I heartless? Why didn’t you tell me your friend has a mental illness? Your friend is obsessed with me, not in love with me. And my family, they’re even in danger.
How can you and the parent of Simi be this wicked? Sandra asked him to calm down. See, you were the one that brought yourself and put yourself in it. I did not send you. The first 1 week and 2 weeks of knowing her, you should have noticed the strange behavior, the switch. She’s happy this minute, the next minute she’s aggressive.
She has been controlling you because the parent has money. She has been controlling you because she’s taking her pills and taking her drugs. But the worst trigger is when she’s heartbroken. You left her in Paris and came back to Nigeria. You are finished. If Simi sees you or any of your family member, you’re in trouble, and there’s nothing you can do.
Her parents will still cover her up just as all does that has dated her. It’s not my duty to tell you to stay away. She was spoiling money in the relationship. She was giving you millions almost every week. That did not tell you something. She went and renovated your parents’ house and gave them millions of money to set up a business.
That still did not tell you something. See, anything that happens after here is not my problem. It is your problem. The only advice I would give you since you still have money with you relocate your parents from that house and sell the house. Move to another city. If Simi ever catches you you will not like the outcome. She has always been someone that is obsessive and her switch is not something someone can control.
Sometimes parents can’t even control it. The reason why they were pouring money on you Simi sending you millions almost every week ; ; is because you will never leave her. And if you do, you’ll be paying dearly. Now that you found out about her illness, you want to run away. Uncle Kola, I’m your manager, oh.
Either you love her, then do your part or you run. You run and do not look back. It was then Emeka understood the strange behavior Simi was possessing. This time, she’s so loving dovey the next minute she would just push him away. She has been violent and aggressive so many times. What? Within minutes, she would switch, become loving.
And Emeka did not really pay attention. ; ; Which is the most important thing one should pay attention when you are in a relationship with someone. He saw the whole red flag. But the money that was pouring could not let him see the full red flag. He didn’t even waste time. He decided to take advice. The same advice that Sandra gave him.
Went to his family house, explained what happened and what is currently going on. The parents and the siblings, they all agreed. And they relocated from Lagos to Ibadan to go and start up their life all over again. Yemi, before moving to Ibadan to go and meet his parents and siblings, went straight to Simi’s house. When he got there, Simi’s father gave him a very resounding slap.
“How dare you abandon my daughter in Paris and run back to Nigeria just because you discovered her mental illness? Do you know the things we’ve done for you and your family? If Simi decides to come after you, I swear, none of your family member will be alive.” Sir, Yemi called out to Simi’s father. “You are the ones that are wicked. I’ve been coming to this house, doing everything you people wanted me to do.
Yet, no one seems to tell me that your daughter has a mental illness. You would have told me from the first place that all the money you guys have been pumping towards I and my family is because of the fact that your daughter has a mental illness. And when I find out, I wouldn’t leave because of the money you’ve been giving me.
You decided to go for someone like me, a lowlife who is still trying to survive. Your money will make me stay. It’s not possible. I have the right to break off a relationship that is a threat to my life. Your daughter almost attacked me at the hotel we were staying in Paris, and you expect me not to run. I should stay and get killed.
Better cage her because if anything happens to me or my family, this whole situation will go viral. I have proof and evidence of what happened in that hotel. I had video recording. And this conversation, too, as we were having it, is also being recorded. Sir, please, I beg you in the name of God. Leave I and her family alone.
If your daughter decides to come after me, ; ; I will make her a public notice. People that did not know that she was mentally ill will find out by fire by force. And I know you wouldn’t want that for your family, your reputation to be ruined just like that. Yemi’s father asked him one final question.
If I give you all my company, everything I’ve worked out for, that is worth over 1 trillion, would you still be my daughter’s husband? We’re going to plan a proper wedding. Her mental illness is managed properly. All you have to do is to produce an heir that will continue this family lineage.
I can see you love my daughter genuinely. I do not want to threaten you and your family, but I have the money to make you keep quiet, no matter how you are gloating right now. Will you take the offer or I should keep it? Yemi stood there, very confused. What do you think Yemi should do? Take the offer and stay married to a mentally ill woman, or run for his life and get haunted on the way? What do you think is the right thing Yemi should do? Tell me in the comment section.
