His QUIET WIFE Taught Him A Lesson After He STOPPED Her From Doing Her…#story #folklore #tales – Ty

The day hunger knocked on Kunlay’s door. It came with a smell of hot acara. In front of a small wooden shade, Tommy stood with a big spoon in her hand. She was smiling at every customer and she was sweating because she was frying Akara. People loved her because of the way she respected all her customers and because of the way she huzzled so hard.

But inside her one room that she called home, her husband Kuni sat on the bed with his face squeezed like bitter leaf. He hated the fact that his wife is frying a car right in front of their house for that matter. He would always be inside the home ming to himself. You see this aara business here.

One day I will burn that frying pan. This woman is always embarrassing me everywhere. Klay believed that his wife Tommy was too local. And everything Tommy did, Klay would complain. Anytime he sees her putting firewood under the big black pot she wanted to use and start her business, you will start shouting, “See my life.

My mates are marrying office women. their wives using perfume from London. But look at me. Eh, my own wife, a carousel. I’ve always told this woman to stop this business, but she will not listen to me. I can cut her for all of us. But no, she wants to show her power. If I stop her, everybody will say I’m I’m a wicked husband. Only life talking as if camera was always on him.

And anytime he’s handing me with his friends at the junction, one small local bar, he would always talk down on his wife, a homie Queen. I wanted a woman with office heo and smelling nice all the time. What a woman that smells like you by 7:00 a.m. in the morning. His foolish friends were laughed and also tell him the bitter truth.

But only one of them said to him one day at least you know they hungry eh your wife is trying you know with that business you’re not bothered about food but K waved him off I beg I beg no big man will ever sit and eat that village snack aarako aarani he forgot something most days it was the same village snacks that fill his stomach before marriage Klay had been so sweet like fresh sugarce.

He would walk Tommy home and hold her nylon back for her. He promised Tommy heaven and earth. Oh my girl, I will support your dream. Anything you want, I will stand by you. I am your number one fan. And Tommy was so grateful. She would always smile. Thank you so much. But even if my dream is starting small, I hope you don’t mind. Klay touched his chest.

My love, small dream will start. Then our big company will come tomorrow. Don’t worry. We’re going to turn that small dream to an empire. Tommy believed him. Tommy believed that the two of them will work as a partner since she had told him that she wants to start small and grow big. She thought that Kun is just the right partner she has been waiting for.

They will suffer small and enjoy later. But after the wedding, everything changed. No longer hold back for her anymore. The small dreams he forgot about it. He got one small office job in town. The job was not paying much, but he liked to dress like big boss, wearing shirt and tie every morning.

And at work, Millie flirted with all the office ladies who work like those were counting money. He looked sharp. He would compliment one of them because they are always dressed nice and beautiful. Klay thoughts that his wife is now Luper and those ones that dress sharp and smell nice are the ones with brains.

But Klay had forgotten that it was love that made him got married to his wife Tommy. And it was the same Tommy Aara business that paid part of her bride price. After his day at the office, Pul would also come back to come and torment Tommy because anytime he passes by and sight her finger that Aara, his mood would change completely.

So that evening when Tommy came back, he was so angry looking at Tommy frying a he had to call her by the side. Why now? This Aara is disturbing my image. One day my boss will pass this street one day and see you frying a car. My own wife after all the gra I’m doing inside office. Tony was standing there very very disappointed.

Wait, did you say that my aara business is disturbing your image? But this Aara is helping you pay rent. Abby, is there any other thing that is helping us pay rent in this compound? Sometimes this Akara is even giving you transport to your own office that he are using to do gra. What is wrong with you? You are looking down on my business but the same business is feeding you.

The same business is paying 80% of the bills in this house. How much are they paying you in that your gra office? Is it is it is it only by wearing tie and shirt with trouser looking smart going out every morning? How much do they pay you every month? How much are you even spending on transport when you might not from your salary? How much is remaining? Will you better respect yourself? What do you mean? I am the man.

I will provide. I just need time. Eh, there’s no problem. But just make sure you do not collect money from me next morning. Please give me give me give me 2K. Let me use and transport myself. I know that is that same 2K that will feed you in the afternoon at your office. stop talking down on the business that fits us because he feel like he’s local.

As they were putting up their drama, their neighbor Mama Shade were just standing watching everything like a village gist reporter. She was a big woman with strong voice and she suff beside Tommy store. That evening she called Kunlay, “My son, come.” Yes, ma’am. She looked at him from up and down.

You see this your wife? She asked pointing at Tommy who was still frying a yes ma don’t insult the woman that fits you. Mama said to Ki K was confused. Feed cool me. God forbid. He slap his chest. I am a man. I feed her and myself. E okay just remember this my words when hunger starts doing meeting in your stomach respect that woman respect her even small at least in front of people you will regret it though I am just telling you as an elderly person but continue boasting I beg there’s nothing like respect mama shi I beg this aar There are businesses reducing my

image. Beg, I’m going inside. And that was how entered inside that day after embarrassing his wife in front of her customers. The next morning, Tommy had already woken up, set her business area and started frying her car. Then one man, a very simple man, he came to come and buy Aara that day at Tommy store. Good morning madame. He greeted.

Tommy smiled. Ah, good morning sir. How many do you want to buy, sir? The young man looked at her. Can you give me tasting? Yes. And Tommy gave the man one bowl of Aara. He tasted it and nodded. H, this is good though. How much is per one? And the man bought 10 pieces from that day. He came every morning. Good morning, madam. Good morning, sir.

Your usual be? Tommy will ask. And the man will reply yes. He doesn’t talk too much. He just smiled. Hey. And left. Sometimes he will sat on the small bench beside her. Tommy liked the way the man always greeted her with so much respect. Thank you for always buying sir. The man would always smile and node say thank you and go.

But k started noticing that man every morning he’s always the first to come and buy a k started noticing him because as he finish dressing up for work he will always stand by the door and the next person he will site will be that same man. Then one morning after the man came to come and buy Aara could not hold his grudges.

Why this man always coming here? H this one is looking like a sleeping psych. See the kind of type of customer you are attracting. Don’t bother you are still the way you are. Tommy was just standing there looking at him confused. Ah only that is not nice. Why would you say something like this to someone you barely know? is a good customer.

He had never owed me one NRA before. Good customer indeed. I beg shift. But because of that customer and others that patronize Tomy’s aara business, she would use it and buy meat and put in the two day cook every weekend. She would put aside money for rent. She pay nepa bill sometimes, even give kun transport when his office delay salary.

And Kle was really annoyed with the fact that his wife always give him money. And each time Tommy always gave him money, he will collect it and still tell her, “Eh, thank God that this Aara business is still assisting us.” So, but you dare not tell anybody in the street that I’m the one collecting.

Tell them I’m the one taking care of you. We have a name to protect. As the man of the house, I have a name to protect. I’m still supporting in this home. I hope you know when they pay Mr. Larry, I buy a lot of things and stock the house. Your car business is just supporting by the side. So make sure you don’t tell the whole world that e business is doing this and doing that. Mom would always smile.

I heard you sir. But she did not know that trouble was already coming. The next day went to work and because of his clumsiness, his boss shouted and yelled at him that day. In fact, his day was really bad. He carried out frustration and came back home. When he reached home, he saw Tommy, his wife, laughing with that same quiet customer that he always talked down on.

To make the matters worse, the man was even telling Tommy, “Madame, this yakara makes my morning very happy.” Tommy was laughing, “Thank you, sir. God bless you, sir.” As soon heard that, his chest turned into a hot stone. He was really angry, but he couldn’t react in front of those men. He waited patiently at night.

After Tommy was done with her business for the day, they were now on alone and he started. So that’s your useless customer. He has now turned to friend. Eh customer? Which one? The one that looks like old Git. That one that buys Aara everyday and smiles and talk too much. Klay angrily replied, “Tommy, Klay, he’s just a customer.

Why are you talking about him like this?” Kina now started pouring his frustration onto me because I am tired. I’m tired of people seeing my wife on the road every day frying beans like village woman. This my business again stop it. This is how I support us now. This is how we survive. Even your mother said koul cut her off immediately.

Don’t bring my mother into this. I said no more frying a you embarrass me in the street. Tommy was confused. Julie, that must be a joke. Please, I am not joking. From tomorrow, stop it no more. Find something else to do or stay at home and be a wife. Give me children. Only what are we going to eat if I stop the car business? God will provide.

I cannot stop my business. This must be a joke. Then be ready to go back to your father’s house. Trust me, I’m not joking. If I see you carry that aara or whatever you are doing there and they laughing and gisting with you, what you will not like it, I will send you back to your father’s house.

When you get there, you start frying your car in front of your father’s house. Foolish woman. The next morning, everybody was confused. All her customers were confused. Mommy did not come out to fry a carada money. Even the quiet customer, the young man that used to come and buy from her, he came and was confused what happened.

He respectfully went to their door and knocked and Tommy opened. Good morning, sir. Good morning, madame. What happened? No today. No. My husband said I should stop. The man freezed for a little while staring at her. That must be a joke. It’s not a joke. We argued and argued yesterday night. I tried my best, but he won. He said I should stop.

So, for now, I’ll find a way to convince him. The man was really angry, but he couldn’t express it. The only thing he said to Tommy was, “May God help you.” He gently walked away. Meanwhile, Koul sat on the bed scrolling through his phone. He wanted to let the streets know that he is the man of the house. Whatever he says will go.

If he told his wife not to fry a car, she wouldn’t. And if he tell her to return friend Aara, she would want to let everybody know that he was in charge. But soon hunger started coming. No Aara money coming again. Klay’s salary was delayed and the little savings Tommy had finished. Monday they managed to so Gary with no sugar.

Tuesday they shared one small bread. They left the previous day. By Wednesday there was nothing. No rice, no beans, not even Maggie. That was when K now said to Tommy, “Eh, this night we we need to find something to do. Eh, maybe we should go and borrow from Mama Shady. We should go and borrow something from her.” But don’t be refused.

If you want to go, you are free. But as for me, I am not going anywhere. Whoa. Started getting angry. What do you mean? Is it not for the benefit of two of us? So if I borrow and come, you will eat. Better stop that rubbish. Before my salary comes, come let us go to her. I know she will give us something and she will give to you because you are her paddyy.

That was the only reason why Tommy stood up from there and they went to Mama Shade store. Tommy now started talking first. Mama, please can you borrow us small rice or small money? We’ll pay back. The woman looked at the both of them, but her eyes was on. She remembered her old warning.

Don’t insult the woman that fits you. She sighed and said to them, “Well, I am sorry my children. This month is tight. I can’t borrow you anything. If I start, others will come.” The last time I gave people food on credit, they turn to ghost. I am still looking for them to today and no fit again. They went to two more places and everybody kept on saying they don’t have no we don’t have next time.

And that was how they went back to their room that evening without successfully borrowing from anybody that night. The two of them slept on an empty stomach. As if hunger was not enough, rent did not walk to their door gently. It came like a soldier. The landlord stood outside the room shouting, “Klay, open this door now. Today is the last day.

If I didn’t see my money, you will see your load outside. You know I don’t joke with my money. Did I manage to come out?” Landlord, good afternoon sir. I beg they delay my money for office. No vest. Eh, I could pay you. Still that way you are talking now. It will not pay rent. See if you do not provide my money you will see your load.

You know I’m not joking. I get boys that will come and carry your load. If people will sleep outside Lord I beg. You have not paid me in the office now. Give me small time time care when I’m not clock. See if I don’t get my money in 3 days I will throw your mattress out. You can now sleep on the street and be counting stars.

3 days only. The landlord walked away. Mommy, people will not pay rent. They will be pressing their phone. Nonsense. You cannot go and look for something else to do to help your life. When Kle finally entered inside, Tommy looked at him. So what do we do now? Because the landlord we know is not joking.

You know what that man did to Mama Fake and Happy Kim? Even though the woman is a widow, he threw their things outside. Hm. You know the man does not joke whenever he gives straight to any of his tenants. I don’t need to tell you. You have experienced it firsthand. So what should we do? My darling husband, the man of the house looked at her but doesn’t have any answer. He kept quiet.

That same week Nepa joined the fight. The Nepa people came to collect their money but they couldn’t pay. And that was how they went darkness inside their room. They never disconnected their lights and asked them to pay their bills. And that was how they started using cand to sleep. Every blessed evening.

The next Monday was happy to go to work at least to receive his salary, but he came back earlier than usual. When Tommy cited him, she was confused. H why are you back this early? This is not the normal time you you always come back from work. Is everything all right? Who was looking frustrated? Sat on the edge of the bed. There’s no work again.

What do you mean? They downsized. They sent some of us away. They say business is slow. Even our cannot pay bill again. So you mean no more salary? No salar. And Kuni was regretting his actions. Inside of his heart, he kept on saying, “If only Tommy was still selling Akara. He know that things will not affect them this much.

” But his pride had let him be so stupid. Just then, someone knocked on the door. Kle asked Tommy to relax that he would go and check the door. When he opened it, it was still that same man that came the last time. chased him away immediately. See, there’s nothing to buy here. We are no longer selling a carara. Get out. We don’t have a car. Nothing.

Nothing. Just go. But the man insisted on seeing Tommy. Tommy pushed Koul out of the door and they all came out. So finally you stopped frying a car. The man said to Tommy, but Koul could not even let Tommy talk for herself. Eh, she has stopped. I told her to stop. We are moving for better things now. The man faced Tommy.

Is that what you want? Tommy wanted to say no. She wanted to say I miss my store. She wanted to say we are hungry. But the way Kie was moping at her. She had to bring down her face down. Um I don’t sell our car again. That was the only thing Tommy said. The man now looked at Kuni. How can you let your husband, a man you call your husband, silence your destiny? Is he your god? I thought husband or wife are partnership.

You should learn your own voice and stand by it. Kunlay’s chest jumped up. He was really angry. What do you mean by that? Eh, do you come here to come and lecture my wife or do you come here to come and drag her out of her husband’s house? Are you crazy? Please get out of here. go and buy food somewhere else. We don’t need you. The man turned and left.

That night, Tommy was really angry. Ki, he said something wrong with you. Like, did your mother use you for ritual? I’m sorry for bringing your mother into this. Are you crazy? Because of the fact you threatened our marriage, that was the reason why I kept quiet all those while because of the fact you told me that I should go back to my father’s house.

Is it not better I go back to my father’s house? You’re starving me. You’re not giving me money. There is nothing to prove that I’m a married woman. Like are you not ashamed of yourself? You have even downsized you. Do you know if this man that came here came to help us? Help us. Help us. A man that is eyes all over you.

No, no, no, no, no. You should have told me that you have eyes for him now. He has been complimenting you Abby. He has been telling you are looking beautiful. So you felt like you can easily jump to any man that you want. Right? I knew it. I’ve been seeing the way he has been smiling and ficking around you. I knew something was up.

That is why I would never allow it. Not under my roof. You better get ready to go back to your father’s house. H I think it’s better I go back to my father’s house. By the time you get a good job, you can come and pick me up. And if you don’t come back, I’ll move on with my life. You know me, I’m a hustler. I’ve been selling before you came.

So I’ve not been selling it in front of my father’s house. I’ll go and regain my former position. You are just an hypocrite, a destiny killer. That man was actually right. We are partners in this marriage. John, you are you are the head of the family. But that does not make you my God or make you have the final say that if I cannot work, nothing will happen.

See, I will start my work. I will, but I will not do it here anymore. I will go back to my former base and go and start it because if I do it here, I’ll be feeding your sorry ass. The two of them started arguing up and down. They were bringing down the roof of their house. The whole neighbors were hearing their voices, but Tommy do not care anymore.

She packed her things, waiting for the next day to leave. The next morning, as she packed her things and I was about to leave, Pune was still threatening her that if she ever leaves, she should never come back and he will never come and beg her to come back. Tony had already made up her mind as she was leaving. She saw big cars entering the compound.

Not one, not two, more than four cars, clean SUVs. Wow. see moto. Who are they looking for? I be did they come to arrest somebody? Is it that the landlord is owing the bank? Did they come to come and sell this small house that we are managing? Everybody in the compound stepped out looking and just then the car opened and it was that same man that came yesterday night to come and talk to Tommy.

He wasn’t wearing a simple dress this time around. He wore a fine suit. He stepped out and Tommy could not believe her eyes. Jesus. So this man has money like this and he has been coming to eat a buying puff from Mama Shadi now. Wow. The young man went straight to Tommy. Good morning madam. Good good morning sir.

Are you looking for someone else? No I’m looking for you. I’ve not actually properly introduced myself. My name is Mr. Aay I own the biggest restaurant chain in Lagos. Yes, I know that name. His face is on the billboard near express and you couldn’t recognize that the face is me. It was then Tommy looked at him properly and was like wow. I didn’t know K even came out.

He was standing behind looking. That’s your aar that you used to fry. I want you to come and work for me. I will buy that recipe and I will also offer you job as one of my regional chef. What? You heard me right. I’ve been testing your Aara. The taste is special. The way you treat your customers are also special.

I just don’t buy food. I watch how people love you. I watch how they always come back for more. The way you smile and you’re always kind with everyone despite what you’re going through as a married woman. You have a good heart and also a blessed hand. I was coming to offer you this. Before your husband stopped your business, I wanted to see how you behave when things are hard.

But that’s not my business. Actually, I hate it when men take control and they felt like cuz I am the head of the house, I can control you. I can do this. I can do that. Marriage is just like a cage for women. You were doing pretty well with your career business before your husband stopped you. And why did he stop you? Because he was jealous of the way people love you and the way people are always happy around you.

And that is not a good trait when it comes to a man. A man that is jealous of his wife. I’m not sure that man can go far. And the wife too, I’m not sure she can go far because the man will take drastic steps. See, I don’t know why you are carrying your bags, but I came to give you a final offer. Take it or leave it. Sir, as you can see with my bags, I was about leaving this house.

I already told him I’m no longer interested in the marriage. He can eat himself and his pride. I wanted to go back to my father’s house and set up something good for myself. But with this opportunity, I am ready to grab it. Sir, please. I’m serious. I will sign documents. I will become the chef. Anything you want me to do as far as the pay is good.

The man gave Tommy the documents and ask her to read through that is your salary there. Those are the dos and don’ts, the terms and condition of the company, what you’re going to be doing and your job. Immediately Tony read that. Her eyes grew wide. Jesus, my salary 450,000 naira as a chef. I’ll be giving a house and I get to work only five times a week. Thank you so much, sir.

This this this is this is good. This is God answering my prayers. Thank you. That was how Tommy got a very good job with a very good pay and also a very good place to stay. and Klay all of a sudden stopped being proud. He came out and started begging Tommy hearing all the privileges and everything she would get after she accept being a chef at AJ’s restaurant.

Tommy looked at him, my darling husband. Oh, you came to beg me because of what I would gain and in turn benefit you. I am sorry. That trick will not work on me anymore. I am leaving you. I am leaving this marriage and I’m not coming back. Look at your life now. Because of what I will gain, you came to beg me so that you will not lose out.

H all this while you were starving in this house. I was never starving. I was eating good food. Do you think as an aara business seller I sold for so many years I don’t have savings? I have. But I kept quiet. The landlord came and embarrassed us. They caught our light. We were sleeping under darkness. I still kept quiet.

I wanted you to calm down. I wanted you to bring your ego down and come and beg me because you embarrassed me and ask me to stop that business. I wanted you to come and tell me, “My wife, can we set up that car business again?” Looking that you are no longer working. But no, you still let your pride and ego control you.

You were busy threatening me. If you go back to your father’s house, I will never come back again. Do you think marriage is all the thing that women dream of in this life? I will find a man that respects me, respects my value and respect who I am regardless of how I look and the kind of business I chose to do.

But right now, I am sorry. This marriage is over. I forgive you, but I can never come back as your wife. They told me they did the right thing by walking away from that marriage. What do you think? Tell me in the comment section, besties. I’ve loved to hear your response and also reply. Never hide your gift to please someone who doesn’t know its value.

If God put something in your hand, protect it, work on it. Don’t throw it away because someone laughs at it or someone do not see the value. The same thing they call village snack today may feed the whole nation tomorrow. My friends, my besties, if you’re listening to this story, please don’t bury your talent just because of someone.
