SHE Threw Her SISTER in LAW Out Of The House,Not Knowing That She Owns…#story #folklore #storytime – Ty
Madam, this eviction notice is for you. The lawyer said, “Auntie boss has stood there laughing.” The kind of laugh that says, “This one, you don’t know what you’re talking about, though.” She then snapped and said to the lawyer, “I beg, shift, you people are joking, right? This is my house. This is for me.
Which one is eviction notice?” But the lawyer stood firmly and still gave her the papers to read. Auntie Bos managed to collect it with her fingers as if it was a dirty book. She glanced at it first, then moved slowly. Her eyes now caught the name on the paper. It wasn’t her name. It wasn’t her husband’s name.
It was just one name. See me, her sister-in-law. The quiet girl she chased like a rat. Auntie Bos swallowed hard. Her throat became dry immediately, but she still tried to act strong. Eh, Simmyi, which Simei? That small girl? Yes, madame. The lawyer noted that small Simi and a boss’s handed shaking. Many years ago, in a crowded compound in Lagos, popularly called Face Me, I slap you.
The kind of compound where children run like goats. Radio shouting from money. Everybody knows everybody’s business. There lived one woman called Auntie Boser. She loved power. She loved control. If you greet Auntie Boser, she will not answer you immediately. She will first look at you from head to toe as if she’s doing you a favor before she will now answer. Mhm.
Because auntie boss’s husband Kunlay, they own the house. Kunlay’s father owned the house. So they live there as the landlord. Because of that, Auntie Boser started possessing a lot of bad characters. If anybody dares to pack anything in front of our house, the whole compound will not hear word. If you are cooking food and the smell is too much, auntie boss will complain.
The whole compound people feared her at the same time. They laughed at her behind. Auntie boss’s husband Koul was a very kind man. He avoids trouble. In fact, he makes sure he leaves very early in the morning and come back very late at night just to avoid his wife’s tantrums. He worked as a bus driver and later became a dispatch rider.
He hated it anytime boss is shouting at any of the attainant but he couldn’t just do anything. He was too quiet and boss took control. If Koul tried to complain, Bos will use her loud voice and shut him off. Klay also had a younger sister named Simmyi. Simei was also quiet just like him. But her quietness does not mean she’s a fool or someone who is stupid that can be used.
Anyhow, after their father died, Simei being the only daughter and the mother no longer alive, she had no choice than to come and stay with her only brother Kuni. But when Kunlay’s wife Bos saw her, Bos looked at her from head to toe and hissed before saying, “You’re welcome.” Then she added, “Listen up. Don’t behave like your brother.
This is Lagos. If you doll, Lagos will chop you.” Simei smiled, thinking Auntie Bos is a very nice person for warning her. Thank you, ma. Thank you, ma. Thank you, Auntie Bos. But Auntie Bos wonder immediately. Don’t you ever call me Auntie Bos. Call me madame. Okay, madame. The next morning, Busters started her mean and wicked ways again.
She woke up Simei and started warning her, “See, we have two toilets and two bathrooms in this compound.” As the landlord and the land lady of this house, we own one toilet and one bathroom. The rest of the compound are sharing one toilet and one bathroom. Our own is always locked and that is because it is private.
So it is your job to scrub and make sure the toilets and bathrooms are clean every morning. You are to wake up 4:30 every day. Clean the toilet and make sure that breakfast is ready before I wake up. Simei only agreed. She did not interrupt her or argue with her. The only question she asked was, “Madame, will I be sharing the chores with your children? They are also the same age as mine.
In as much as I am way more older, but we can share it days. If I do for one week, they will do the following week. If I cook for one week, they will cook the following week.” Until boss became angry. Are you stupid? So you want my children to scrub toilet for you? For what? This is your job in this house.
Leave my children out of it. Simei was really angry. She wanted to say no. After all, this is also her father’s house. Regardless of the fact that she got married to her brother does not give her the right to not notice that she’s still the madam of the house because her father owns the house, too. But she does not want trouble.
One, she’s still a very young lady. And secondly, Auntie Bos is very doineering and she’s always ready to fight. She does not want trouble. So she agreed hoping that she would talk to the brother whenever she sees him he will be able to talk to the wife so that she would share the chores in the house among everybody.
She did all the chores that morning without any complaint. By evening her brother came back immediately. Simei called him outside. Brother I want to talk to you. What is it? Klay asked her. See brother I just landed here yesterday and your wife have already created work for me. I should be waking up 4:30. I should be scrubbing the toilet every morning and I also be cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for everybody. I don’t understand.
What about your own children? They are teenagers now. Can’t they scrub? Can’t they sweep? Can’t they do anything? Auntie Bos was warning me this morning not to ever try to involve her children in anything. But that is not how we were raised. At least I remember that you too, you were part of all the chores in the house.
So how come I’m the only one that be doing everything here? Brother, this is also my father’s house. Please, now what sort of wickedness is this one? Help me and talk to your wife. I don’t like this kind of thing. I’m trying so hard to be very respectful. If I say I’m not going to do any work in this house, there is nothing she can do.
She can’t throw me out because this is my father’s house. I’m trying so hard to be very respectful. I don’t want to go beyond though. You will be saying I’m disrespecting your wife. Please talk to her. I’m not a baby for her to be ordering me around like this. I’m a graduate for crying out loud. I know I finished on time all because I am a very intelligent young lady, but still she should give me my respect regardless.
Try to calm her down and also assured her. See my sister, my sweet little sister, I am sorry. First of all, your small stature gave everything away. Everybody think you are 18, 17 and one teenage girl like that. Nobody will believe that this sweet sister of mine is just 21. Yes, you finished school on time.
Yes, because you are very intelligent. And thank God all those things have come to pass. All you have to do is start looking for how to get a job. That one you’ll be leaving the house and not staying at home with my wife. She’s too troublesome. Sometimes I used to avoid her because I don’t like stress. As for the kids, I’ve complained.
If I tell her to do this, she will refuse. And anything she says is final. You might call me a weak man. My dear, I am really tired. That woman, she’s too troublesome, but I will still talk to her. Regardless, calm down. Don’t be angry. Okay. That night after Kunlay entered inside finished eating he sat down his wife and tried to have a meaningful conversation with Bos but no she wouldn’t let it happen immediately bos heard Sime’s name she became angry oh so your sister came to come and complain Abby she came and complained to you that I asked her to scrub the toilet
forget about complain cool stood up immediately angrily your always trying to raise your voice. You’re always trying to prove that I am not the man of the house. What you are saying is way more correct than every other person. What is wrong with you, Seth? I am still the head of this family.
I still provide 100%. You don’t contribute a dime. Don’t talk to me like that. My sister complained. Yes. And I’m trying to be reasonable with you. That same sister you’re talking about, she’s a graduate. That same sister you’re talking about, this is her father’s house. Better respect yourself. If she turn around and say that she does not want to do anything in this house, leave her alone.
We have teenagers in this house. We have kids. Why don’t you engage them in any of the chores? Is my sister a slave or a maid to you? She’s very respectful. But see is not a fool. Do not let her bring out the other side of her. Me myself, I they fear her sometimes because if she wants to retaliate, it’s not going to be funny.
You think you are bossy. You think you you have voice. You have not seen Sim’s other side. You see that waking up in the morning every day, scrubbing the toilet, cooking the food, your morning lot. E, it will not happen. Thank God she came back so that she can be able to at least get a job and start doing something here in Lagos.
But if I were you as a woman to woman, like see me to you, like look at her as your daughter, you won’t do anything stupid because talking to you calmly is not helping matters. So the best thing for me to do right now is to warn you because her next line of action and will not stop her. Auntie Bos started shouting, bringing down the whole house, but Klay ignored her.
The next morning, before Auntie Boser could woke up that morning, Simei had already dressed up and left with her credentials. She want to go and look for work so that someone would not put her in the house and turn her into a house help. When Bos noticed that Simmyi actually washed the toilet, scrubbed the bathroom, and cooked breakfast, but she didn’t cook lunch and dinner, she became angry. E. So this girl is daring me.
Abby, don’t worry. You will come back to this house and meet me. That day during job hunting, Sime met one of her old friends from secondary school. The two of them halked each other. She worked at one of the big tech company in Lagos. Her name was Love. Immediately they both saw each other. They hked.
Love asked Simei what she was doing there. Simmyi told her that she came for an interview. She was invited. Love it. Was so happy to see her. Girl, you look so good. Yes. So, but it seems like you are holding a degree certificate. Of course, I graduated with first class. You should know me now. The girl with the brains.
My parents put me in one private university. And I graduated at 21. I just came back to Lagos after my father died following my mother’s death. So your girl is now an orphan and I’m trying to hustle and make money. Well, congratulations. Love it said to her, “You know, I’ve not finished. I’m still in my 300 level, but my uncle owns this company.
Anytime I am on break, I always come here to work because I know that immediately I graduate, I’m getting a job immediately. Ah, because there’s a lot of money to be made. Well, this tech company, they’re looking for a lot of people. Shia, but since you’re here, my dear, express follow me to my uncle’s office immediately.
Luckily for Simei because of knowing who love was she was given an express work she entered love uncle’s office love introduced her the uncle interviewed her himself knowing fully well that Simei had so many potentials being a first class graduates top of the class and the best graduating student was a big deal.
The man did not even waste time. He employed her ASAP. Salary huge. A lot of privileges were given to her, both health insurance, but she wasn’t given accommodation. Simei was so grateful. She had somewhere she’s coming from. It’s not as if she doesn’t have anybody. At least she’s staying in her father’s house. So accommodation won’t be a problem for now.
After she got the job, the first person she called was her brother Kun and told him the good news. Kunlay was so happy for her. Chai, my sister, God have done it for you and the salary is huge. Before Simei left the company, she exchanged numbers with love and they decided to keep in touch because love will soon go back to school. Her own work is just short term.
By evening when Simei came back home, auntie boss was already waiting for her. Immediately she entered the sitting room, she didn’t even allow her to enter properly. She started yelling. You useless girl. So you had the mind to leave this house without making lunch and dinner. Are you crazy? Do you think your parents they are alive to come and feed you? I feed you in this house.
I hope you know I am putting a roof over your head because if I said you are not staying here anymore, nobody would do anything. Not even your brother will save you from my hand. But Simi just looked at her in a very strange way and kept quiet. And that made auntie bos more angry. Oh, I am talking to myself right? So you don’t know how to reply someone.
Auntie Bos angrily shouted at her. That was when Simei lost it. What is it safe and boy say? What is it? Do you want me to kill myself for you? I am barely just one week in this house. You want to make my life a living hell? For what? Now you have children. They are teenagers. If they cannot cook and clean, it means that you did a very terrible job as a mother. My mother did me well.
She trained me well. Please do so to your own children. It is extended because those children are my brother’s children. Let them have some sense. As for the cleaning and the cooking, I can’t be doing that anymore because I just got a job. I’ll be leaving here very early in the morning. The only thing I can be able to do is make breakfast.
As for the scrubbing of the toilet, sorry, ma, I can’t do it anymore. I am sorry. My work is very important. You are free to keep your food to yourself. Don’t feed me. I don’t even need it. I’m a big girl and I can take care of myself. But as for you to ask me to do things I don’t want to do in my own father’s house, it is impossible.
I will engage in cleaning the house, sweeping the house. But for you to put it that it is a must. If I don’t do it, heaven will fall. Heaven will fall. Auntie Bos said, heaven will fall. Oh, I’m sorry madam. Heaven will fall. You know when I came here newly, you were looking at me as one small church rat because I have a small stature. Please, I am not a teenager.
I am a fullg grown adult. Please respect yourself and I’ll respect you back. Auntie Bos angrily slapped Simmyi. How dare you talk to me like that? Am I your mate? You’re telling me that I did a terrible job as a mother if my children does not know how to cook? Who told you they don’t know how to cook? Eha, you’re not sleeping in this house this night.
You couldn’t kneel down outside until I see so angrily stomped inside her room and locked the door and boss was screaming down the roof that evening. She was banging on her door to come out. If not, she would give her more severe punishment. But Simmyi did not really care. The slap alone was a very big disrespect to her. What else can she do? She decided to enter inside her room so as not to fight her own brother’s wife.
Few hours later, Kunlay came back and Bos started complaining that Simmyi disrespected her and Simmyi even was the one that raised hand on her. Kunlay was just looking at her. Boss say my one sister raise hand on you or you raise hand on her. I know what you did. She had already called me to tell me and let me tell you today will be the last time you be raise hand on my sister.
If she decides to fight you, I will not be here to save you. That little girl you’re seeing there is giving you all the respect she could give you. But boss, if you don’t respect yourself, anything you see you take, what is still holding her is respect. If not for respect, you would have collected. This is her father’s house.
Stop being stupid and silly. But boss did not listen. The only thing she was able to say to Koulie was since your sister said she has gotten job. She said I should not feed her. There is no problem. But since I run this house, she’s going to be contributing whenever they pay her salary and she will give me at least 90% of her salary.
Koulie stopped and looked at her. He suddenly laughing. Say this one. You’re a very day dreamer. Continue dreaming. And Koulie didn’t say anything else. That was how the matter ended. See me from that day after the slap. She wake up in the morning. She won’t do anything. She would get dressed and leave very early. Lagos traffic is mad.
And going late to work is something she doesn’t want to do as a first-time starting up a job as a newcomer. and Sydney make sure she comes back by the time her brother comes back so that it will be too late for her to do anything. She will just come back and go to bed and she had already sorted herself out outside.
This continued to happen until Moon’s end when Bos knew that Simei would be paid. That evening, she did not sleep on time. She waited for her to be back even at 1000 p.m. at night. immediately see me and her brother stepped inside. Bos started her problem again. Eh madam, madam, I know you have been complaining to your brother, I decided to let you be.
Have I been looking for your trouble? No. Me boss, a normal me, I know how to look for trouble. But right now, I stopped looking for trouble just for God. But you for you to feel that you can disrespect me in my own husband’s house. It is impossible. I hope your brother told you that you’ll be contributing to this house every month.
Now that you’re working, you have to contribute. You cannot eat my food for free. And you cannot sleep in my house for free. This is my house. In case you don’t know, I know it belongs to your lived father, but you are a girl. You will get married and leave. But your brother, he has boys that will take care of the house.
He has people that will inherit it. A girl does not inherit anything. I hope you know that. So since I’ve made that point, now take bos gave her a piece of paper that she wrote some things down. Reo this is your own part of the expenses in this house. These are the things you’re going to buy and at the end of it you’re going to support the house with 50,000 NRA only.
Goule was standing there but didn’t say a word. He was just standing enjoying the drama that was being displayed in front of him. Simei collected the paper and look directly to her brother’s wife’s face. Auntie Bos, first of all, if you want me to contribute to this house, this is not the way to do it. You’re going to talk to me with respect.
You’re not going to command me because you don’t own me. As for everything that you’ve written down here, I am not buying anything because I don’t use any of them in this house. As for the 50,000 NRA, I can do that one out of respect for my brother. I will send him the money, but I won’t give you the money.
And if you feel this is not enough, I dare you to do your worst. I should do my worst. K, you are here and your sister is talking to me like this, you cannot say anything. Your sister is daring me in my own house and you’re not saying anything. Kle kept quiet. He even turned his face the other side. He did not want to interfere because he knew that his sister will settle it once and for all.
Then boss turned towards Simei again. Simei, everything in this list, you will buy it. If not, I will lock you outside. You will not sleep in this house anymore if all of my demands are not met. I know how much you are being paid. Yes, I scroll through your company. Can you call all those rubbish that you guys are doing? You’re working in one big company.
I know how much they are paying you. That 50,000 NRA and these things I asked you to buy are just chickening money to you. But if you feel that you have mind, don’t do it. As for the 50,000 NRA, you’re going to give me the money. You’re going to put it in my account. If you don’t, that means you’re looking for trouble. Simei did not say anything else to her.
She entered her room that night. The next morning, as early as possible, she left the house. By evening, when she came back home, she noticed that the house was already locked. She banged and backed on the door. And boss did not agree to open the door for her. The only thing she touted from inside was if you have the things I asked you to buy ready and the 50,000 NRA you sent into my account, I will open the door.
If not, please go back to that place you’re coming back from because this house is not for you. You’re not welcomed here. Simi tried as much as possible to be very civil and politely ask boss to open the door before she does anything drastic. But the woman refused. By called one of the welder in that area, the man came that night and broke the door by force.
After that, By paid the man off and boss started her trouble again. How dare you? How dare you? How dare you? She slapped Simei for breaking down the door, calling her a thief and beat bit beat the living day out of her that evening. Unfortunately for a boss, Koul wasn’t around. He has not even come back yet to save her.
Simei beat her melessly. It was the shouting that was coming from the house that made one of the neighbors to come and separate the fight. After that fight, Simmyi went inside and packed all her belongings. As she was trying to leave that night, Cole came back and asked her what was going on.
Buster started being overnecessarily dramatic, claiming that Simmyi beat her and injured her. Surely she was really injured because Simei beat her melessly out of anger. Gon then faced Simei and asked her a simple question. Did you beat my wife? Yes, I did. Simei replied because she beat me first. She slapped me and I decided to defend myself for once.
And I’m sorry, brother Kundi, if I overstepped my boundaries, but I am still sorry for the next line of action I will take. Make sure you already find somewhere you and your children will stay because I will not let this lie. Sim packed the things and left that night. Immediately she left. Klay turned towards his wife and said to Bos, “Get ready to dance to her music.
You know I’ve been warning you to calm down. Calm down. Calm down. But you don’t want to listen. Now you will listen by force. Make sure you’re ready to move to another apartment with your money fully intact because any action Sim takes from now onwards, you are on your own.” And in exactly one week after Simei left the house, the lawyer came and served them quick notice.
And that was what shocked Bos. She had always believed that the house belongs to her husband, not knowing it was actually the other way around. It turns out that Kunlay’s parent, they worked their ass off to build just two houses in Lagos. And before the death of the father, he shared the properties equally. He gave Simei the house that Koul and his wife are currently living in.
Then he also gave Koul the other house that is in house sketch of Lagos. Because of how things were really going rough for Kuni, Kunlay decided to sell his own part of the inheritance then called his sister Simei and begged for him to stay in that compound they are currently staying in. He can be able to raise up some money and leave or better still build his own.
Simei had no problem, so she decided to let his brother and the wife stay in that house. But ever since they moved in, boss took it personally. She thought her husband owns the property, so she was doing anyhow, disrespecting people, talking down on people, and always yelling. But the last straw was when she beat up the owner of the house.
Simei decided to take action. She then gave them quick notice to leave the compound. After Bos collected that letter, she went and called Kunlay and showed him the letter and asked him to explain. Klay then explained that the house belongs to Simei all this while. He never told her that the house belongs to him. He only told her that the house belonged to their father before he died.
But since she didn’t bother to ask more questions, he didn’t bother to explain. So right now, all they have to do is to pack their things and leave. If not, see we take legal action against us and I don’t know what else to do. I don’t have money for us to move inside any fine houses now.
We will still have to go and see if we can see another face me and slap you that is okay that we can move in cuz right now money is really tight. It was then boss’s eyes clear. She started begging now it has not gotten to that. This is the best house we can live in in Lagos. This is face me I slap you but this one eager quality face me I slap you pass face me I slap you we can’t leave this house now ah I don’t have any money to support you you know I don’t work and did I tell you not to work asked her I’ve always told you to do something to support the home you have
you be telling me that taking care of these children they are big work for your woman oh yeah now continue taking care of them children that are teenagers already that are the ones you want to keep taking care continue fooling yourself. Koh then said to her, “The only thing I can do is to beg my sister to give me some time to leave.
Maybe a month or two or even 3 months at least. But for us to live to a better apartment, you need to start doing something for yourself. Need to start being rude to people and start respecting yourself. Now the whole compound knows the house does not belong to you. So you better start leaving this compound every day because you will be getting insult back to back.
” Bos had no choice than to listen to her husband. She then decided to start a better business not far from the house. Even if he’s selling food by the roadside, let her start doing something to be helping with the bills in the house. But before then, Buster called Simei on the phone and begged her to come to the house because she want to speak to her and she isn’t looking for trouble this time around.
Simmyi granted her that request and she came. That day boss knelt down and started begging her. I’m sorry, Simmyi. I’ve been very disrespectful. I’ve been very mean and wicked. I am so sorry. You can see I started a food business by the roadside just to support the family. We are going to leave. But the money is not yet complete though.
We want to go to a very good location and a very good apartment. Face me slapping you in Lagos. You know how it be now. No toilet, no bathroom. Most of them they for bush. I beg. [snorts] I know I’ve disrespected you. Bos said begged and begged and begged. Simei saw the sincerity in her and decided to forgive her.
Well, this is just like a warning to you. Auntie Bos, I forgive you. But please don’t try that kind of attitude to someone else. It is not good. Regardless of anybody that you meet in this life, don’t look down on them because you feel like you own a property or you own a house. So that makes you an authority over them. That is not good. Nobody knows tomorrow.
You might even see your helper and pour him spit. That is not good. I’m going to withdraw my quick notice. I will give you guys 6 months to sort yourselves out because I want to renovate the house. I want to upgrade this apartment. This place is not going to be like this forever. So please make sure you guys are well equipped between 6 months to move out.
[snorts] But boss begged for one year and Simei allowed her. She forgave her and left that day. Bos let her lesson the hard way. She started avoiding everybody in the compound. But gradually she started showing everybody respect including her husband. She now worshiped the ground that he walks on and listens whenever he thoughts.
