SHE Was Warned Not WEAR That RING And Not To Get MARRIED To THE…#story #folklore #storytime – Ty

Linda met Nonso on a Sunday after church. He was tall, dark, and gentle when he spoke. He helped her carry her mother’s basket to the car. And from that day, he never stopped calling Linda. Every morning, the first thing Linda would see would be NO’s test message. Good morning, my son. Shine. Linda would always smile.

No would send her food when she forget to eat. He even met her pastor before asking her to marry him. Linda’s friend was so happy for her. Oh, Minda, you are very lucky. This one is not like Lagos boy. So, and truly NO was different. He was calm, very gentle. He always smell nice. And anytime he’s talking to Linda, he would always tell her, “My wife will never suffer. They dated for some months.

And when Nonso finally knelt down with a small red box and asked, “Linda, will you marry me?” she said, “Yes.” Before he even finished the sentence, Linda was so excited and happy. Her friends screamed and they were happy for her. She felt like the happiest woman alive. But not everyone was happy for her. That evening, Linda’s mother sat quietly on the wooden chair in the sitting room.

She then called Linda. When Linda came out, she turned towards her and said to her, “My daughter, I am happy for you for getting engaged though. If I tell you I’m not happy, I would be the worst mother on earth. But I don’t know why my spirit is not as peace about this man.” Linda started laughing.

Ah, mommy, you induce your spirit again. Maybe your spirit doesn’t want me to leave this house. Do you want me to be nano? You want my father to marry me? Linda’s mother choke her head. No, Linda. Sometimes a smiling face can hide a dark secret. Have you prayed well about this family? Have you asked questions apart from the ones I went to go and verify about this family? Linda waved her hand prayfully.

Mommy, stop. Please, you worry too much. I’ve prayed. Okay, so is a good man. Even pastor, our pastor in church, he said he’s a good man and he’s humble. Linda’s mother sideighed, “Well, I would not tell you not to go ahead with this marriage, but you know me, your mother. Anytime I see something, anytime my foresight is telling me something is wrong, something is always wrong.

” Linda, I suggest you pray about this, ask more questions about this family. I beg, I am begging you. Linda agreed. Okay, mama. I would ask one more questions around Before we proceed for the wedding, are you happy now? Yes, I am my daughter. But that night, Linda’s mother had a dream. She saw Linda standing in a large compound.

There were fogg everywhere. A woman in white stood under a white mango tree shouting, “He’s mine. He belongs to me.” The mother woke up sweating. She prayed and prayed and even called her pastor in the morning. The pastor asked her to keep on praying. But by then, Linda’s mind was already made up about the wedding.

One week later, Linda and Noso went to Onicha main market to go and buy clothes for the traditional marriage. The market was very noisy and very busy. Women shouting prizes. Okadada horns gospel songs from shops lead that held no soul’s arms smiling. They stopped at a small stall where an old woman sell beads and ring.

A woman’s hand were wrinkled and her eyes were cloudy like smoke. When Linda picked up a gold bead, the woman looked at her closely and said to her, “Don’t marry this man. The ring will burn you.” Lita froze immediately. What did you say, mama? The woman looked at Nonso and then back at her. You heard me, my daughter.

Don’t marry him. That ring that he would give you will bring you ruin. It will bring fire. Nelson wasn’t paying attention. He was on call. Linda immediately dropped the bead out of fear. She just thanked the woman and left. As they walk away, Naso squeezed her hand. Babe, hope all is well. Why are you behaving strangely? No, everything is okay. Everything is fine.

Linda tried to laugh, trying to shake off the fear. But after they finished buying everything they were buying and went home, Linda couldn’t shake off that fear. She remembered her mother’s warning about something not feeling right about no soul. Now, an old woman telling her the same thing. She then went to the pastor.

The pastor prayed for her. After praying, the pastor and said to her, “My daughter, do not listen to those voices. Not so is meant for you. He’s a man of integrity and very humble. If you say you will not marry this one, how sure are you that the next one is the best man for you?” I suggest you think about this tolery and think about it very well.

You’ve made your findings and there is nothing suspicious about their home. You’ve made your findings and the people told you in confident that their family are good. They don’t have linage of madness. They don’t have any sort of sickness you’re hiding. My daughter, I suggest you treat carefully.

You don’t allow anyone to put you under pressure. But if I would suggest go on a 7 days fast after that if nothing changed my dear marry your man. Linda had no choice than to listen to the pastor. She prayed and fasted for 7 days and after 7 days she didn’t find anything out of ordinary. So she went ahead with the wedding. After their wedding, Nonan took her to their village in Imo state.

When they entered, Nas’s mother, Madame Gloria, welcomed her. Wow, see my daughter-in-law. Welcome home. You are now our daughter. She hugged Linda tightly. But when Linda looked into her eyes, she felt something strange. She felt like the smile, the welcome. It did not really reach this woman’s heart. It was obvious that she was pretending to be happy.

But Linda still kept her hope alive. That night after they landed, Linda assisted the mother-in-law in the kitchen. After they finished cooking, the mother-in-law told her stories about Nazo’s father who died long ago. Everybody laughed. But ah still felt somehow. Why is it that everything around this house is looking as if it’s being forced? It didn’t come from their hearts.

They were just doing it as if they acting a script. Yet, Linda still kept her hope alive. The first three nights, it was very peaceful. But on the fourth night, something started to happen. Linda woke up around midnight. And it was the sound of a voice, a woman’s voice was what woke her up. Noso was busy sleeping beside her when she heard the voice.

My husband, Noso, my husband, Noso, later started up quickly. What sort of joke is this? She went towards the window, looked out, looked around. She didn’t see anybody. Out of fear, she had to wake Noosu up. Nosu, please wake up. Someone is crying outside rubbed his eyes. H crying. I beg stop. Maybe it’s one of the neighbors. Neighbors.

The gate is locked. No one came in. And I’m not hearing any noise from your neighbors. I’m hearing the noise inside the compound. Please, please, Linda. I’m got to beg you. Don’t wake me up again. Okay. It’s probably a dream, my love. Just sleep. Okay. You are just tired. I beg.

Nuo went back to sleep, but Linda couldn’t sleep. She was still hearing the cried. It continued till morning when the sound suddenly stopped. That morning, Linda told Madame Gloria, her mother-in-law, about what happened. The old woman looked at her. You said you heard a woman’s voice. Yes, mama. She It’s as if the person was crying. Beside that our mango tree that we sat and discussed yesterday, I beg.

Maybe the the wind we’re just playing tricks on you, my dear. You know, you city girls are not used to village nights. Do not worry, my dear. Everything will be fine. H all you have to do is to pray, okay? Let it not be you’re having a bad dream. I slept peacefully and guess what? I did not hear anybody’s voice. So my dear, just go and sleep. Your eyes is still heavy.

I don’t think you had any good sleep at night. Linda thanked the mother-in-law and that morning was the morning that she closed her eyes and slept peacefully. At night again, Linda made sure she prayed before sleeping. But just in the middle of the night again, she started hearing it. This time it was closer.

It was as if the person was standing outside their window. She sat up again and she kept on hearing you took what belongs to me. As she got close to the window, the voice were becoming clearer. You took what belongs to me. Lita out of shock grabbed Muso’s arm shaking. Mu please wake up. Ah was confused. What is it again? I I heard it again.

The woman she said I I I took what belongs to her. But no, so stand up very angrily. Linda, would you stop this? Eh, you need to stop this nonsense. There is no woman here. Maybe it’s just bread or something. But Linda was really scared. She was crying already. No, I’m not lying. She said it. MO warned her and told her not to distur his sleep again.

He turned and pulled the blanket towards him and continued sleeping. He warned Linda to sleep because the two of them have work tomorrow. Linda could not sleep. She sat there in the dark trembling. The cry continued until she covered her ears with pillow. That was when she was able to close her eyes. The next morning, Linda decided not to go and complain.

She decided to do her house chores. She was sweeping the compound. When he got towards the mango tree, her phone rang and it was her mother. Linda picked up. My daughter, how are you? M fine. How is married life treating you? Mama, it’s fine. I say he’s a nice man. Sh. He’s good and he’s caring.

Glory be to God. I wanted to call you and find out how you are doing. That is why I’m calling and hearing your voice. I am so grateful to God that you are doing better. But my dear, if there is any problem, not even something that you need to hide, just call me. I am always here for you. Linda, please, you are my only daughter.

Please don’t hide anything from your mother. Linda agreed and promised the mother that all is well, but if there is any problem, she would be the first person she would call. And that was how they ended the call. As they ended that call, Linda wanted to continue sweeping when she saw a small piece of clothes.

It was half buried in the sand. She picked it up and was confused. I’ve seen this kind of material before. But where? Just then, Linda remembered. She saw the clothes lying on Nul’s suitcase. She rushed inside. But when she got inside, the clothes was nowhere to be found anymore. But for the past how many days I’ve been in this house, I’ve been I’ve been seeing this clothes on top of Nasu’s bag.

Why then did it disappear all of a sudden? Now, wow. Let me even ask Nu about it. Babe, this material, I saw it on top of your clothes. Immediately Nosu cited it. He asked her to go and trash it outside immediately. And Linda obeyed. What happened? Why did you ask me to trash it? Why are you bringing a piece of clothes inside this house? For what? But I saw the clothes on your on your box about ever since I moved into this house. I’ve been seeing the clothes.

But why am I seeing the pieces outside and I remembered I saw it and when I went back I couldn’t find it. I was so denied. You must be seeing something because I don’t have this clothes on top of my box. Please, it’s like you’re watching too much Nigerian movies these days. You know all these things they acting they are not real.

Stop watching them and stop imagining things. I beg. Don’t you ever bring in those pieces of clothes. Next time as you are sweeping that place, pack it out. Linda obeyed and she packed the clothes the pieces of clothes inside the doorbin. Then two weeks later after Linda got married to Noso and came down to the village to come and stay with him.

She had never had a peaceful night every night she used to hear voices but yet still Linda did not want to leave. Call your parents and tell them what is going on. know I don’t know whether marriage is or do or die affair and when she doesn’t want to tell anyone what is going on. The mother-in-law kept on confusing her telling her that she’s imagining things and Linda kept on believing that maybe she was truly imagining things.

But as two weeks passed that fateful night, Linda slept. When she closed her eyes, she had a very terrible dream. In that dream, she saw a woman wearing the same piece of clothes, the same one she threw away. Exactly just like that. The woman was wearing it. And the woman was pointing at her wedding ring. And immediately in that dream, the wedding ring caught fire.

It was as if the thing started growing hot, as if someone was trying to roast her hand. Linda screamed and woke up. Noso woke up too out of shock and fear. “Don’t tell me is dream again,” he lamented. Linda nodded with tears streaming down her face. “Yes, no.” So, it’s a dream again. No. Hey, she said the the ring will burn my hand and I’m going to cut off my one of my finger.

Eho took her hands and kissed it. You see, this ring is fine. There is nothing wrong with it. Don’t let fear destroy our home now, please. But as Lea looked at the ring the second time, a strange heat started spreading through her finger. She started screaming, calling out, “Nonso also looked confused.

What is it? The hand, the hand is burning me. I need to remove the ring.” But as Linda want to remove that ring, it wasn’t working. She kept on screaming that the ring is burning her. But No refused to listen. Stop scaring yourself now. You are probably reacting to soap or cream. Linda angrily looked at him. Soap or cream care. Ha. What? I beg.

What have I gotten myself into? What do you mean soap or cream? If I tell you something is happening, you find a way to tell me another thing. See, I don’t understand anymore. So, did you do something that I’m the one paying for it? Because all these strange things happening is confusing. See, my finger is burning so hard.

I’m telling you, and you are here saying nonsense. After so many struggles, it was the housekeeper that they employed that brought olive oil. She now poured the olive oil mixed with coconut oil on her hand and the ring slip off. But still that place the ring was kept on her finger still burned her but not as much as when the ring was still on her finger.

4 days later, Linda got better. She decided to do some cleaning in their bedroom. She cleaned under the bed, the wardrobe side. But when she started entering into deep cleaning, there was another side of the wardrobe that had old books. She decided to bring out all the books, clean it up, and dust up the area.

Just then, she saw Mama Gloria’s Bible. As she just decided to shove around the Bible, something fell off. She bent and picked it up. It was a black and white photo. In that photo, Nu was smiling. Beside him stood a woman wearing the exact same ring that burned her 4 days ago. At the back of the photo, it was written, “My dear husband, forgive me.

I can’t stay in this house anymore.” Linda became scared. Yay! What’s going on? Who is this woman? Linda walked outside to where Noso was sitting, scrolling through his phone. No, he looked up. What’s up? Any problem? Linda showed him the photo. Immediately he cited it. The smile on his face died. Where did you get this? Inside the Bible. Your mother’s Bible.

Who is she? And why is she calling you dear husband? Moso started getting angry. Please, Linda. I don’t have strength for your tantrums. Don’t open old ones. You can see that the Bible is old. It shows that this has been long. Old ones. So, talk to me. Why does she have my ring? What’s going on? Nuo snatched the photo from her hand and tore it into pieces.

I said, “Don’t ask me about this again.” But no, why are you shouting? I’m your wife. I have the right to know when I see things that doesn’t look right. Oh, okay. For the benefit of being my wife, I will tell you. She was someone I almost married. That’s all. End of story. If it’s someone you almost married, then why is she calling you dear husband? Because I almost married her.

Don’t you know how you women behave? Ordinary engagements. I’m already a her husband. So, she had already started referring me as a husband. That is just what happened and nothing more. NO even stood up and walked away without saying another word. He didn’t even want Linda to continue asking him question. Linda stood there and she couldn’t believe what was going on.

Later that day, the house help the housekeeper, a quiet girl named came to clean the sitting room. She looked so nervous like she wanted to tell Linda something. Linda noticed and asked Jama, “Do you want to tell me something about the woman in the picture? I saw you sneaking around when I was confronting my husband in the afternoon.

” And madame, I need the money for this job. I beg if I spill something and I lose my job. Ah, my mother is going to suffer and my siblings too will be dropped out of school. This is the job that I am using to assist my family. So please I cannot see how much are you being paid? Linda asked her. They pay me 60,000 and they gave me bonus of food stuffs every month.

I’m going to give you 400,000. The housekeeper was shocked. What? Right now call your account number. The housekeeper called her account number and Linda transferred 400,000 instantly to her. I’m not doing this because I have money. somewhere I am trying to waste. I’m doing this because my heart, my mind, in fact, I am running crazy now.

There is no one at home. Nonso had angrily left the house and my mother-in-law left since morning. It’s time for you to start talking and I hope it’s a very good information you’re about to give me. I’m not going to say a word except you want to implicate yourself. You can use the money and set up a business or you can keep it and continue your house work.

The choice is yours. Ma, please don’t tell anyone I said this. I’ve been working in this house for a long time. When I was still a child, my mother who is now aged, she used to work here as your housekeeper. When uncle, uncle was still small and young. So that woman that you are seeing on that picture is uncle’s first wife.

Jesus first wife. who was married before but he told me he almost married her story madam they did traditional marriage and they did white marriage even church marriage too that same ring that burned your hand she died wearing that same ring Linda couldn’t feel her needs she was seriously shaking out of fear how how did she die so she’s dead.

Yes, she’s dead though. Everything you are saying that you are hearing, you are doing this. I I I presume she’s the one in as much as I don’t hear anything most times if I sleep here at night. But you are the third woman that uncle is bringing to this house and the same thing that is what they complain and they run away.

You even lasted long as if other ones you know they reach 3 days they don’t run. I wonder what you found in him. I make you to still stay here. You can’t mind though. Well, about how the first wife died. No one knows. They said she fell from the stairs. I heard mama Gloria shouting that night. Fact me and my mother, we slept in this house that fateful night when it happened.

That time the father of the house is still alive. how it all happened me I don’t know being a small child then not that I’m small but being a little bit naive and not experienced my mother couldn’t say anything because she was inside the main house when it happened before Linda could ask more question the sound of slippers echoed as if someone was walking in immediately Madame Gloria’s ear filled the air very loud and strong what are you doing there.

The girl jumped up. What ma? When am I stomped towards Linda? What is she telling you? What is she gossiping about? Linda smiled weakly. Mama ma, calm down. I beg. I’m only begging her to help me clean up the room. I cleaned it halfway before me and Nonso had some little issues. She’s telling me she still have a lot and she will still do it.

But I was just encouraging her. Mama, we didn’t really say anything much apart from begging her to clean the room. Are you sure, Linda? You know, you like to ask questions too much. My daughter, be very careful. Curiosity can open doors that you can’t close. And you don’t need to ask her to go and clean the room.

It is her duty to do that. Okay, mama. Don’t be angry. I won’t ask her next time. I will command her to go and do it. Immediately, Madame Gloria left and entered her room. Jama came back and warned Linda. Madame be very careful. This woman, you see, is not as good-hearted as she’s talking to you. She’s the most mean person in desert.

You better be very careful around her, said my own. After that discovery, Linda wasn’t at peace in that house. In fact, she’s as scared as hell. She needed an excuse to go back to her family house. She needed a good excuse to leave. That night, as Nazu was busy sleeping, Linda couldn’t sleep.

She just stepped down from the bed and started packing her bag slowly. She finished packing. She wanted to run away that night. When she heard someone talking, she looked out and found her mother-in-law seated outside making a call. At that time of the night, she knew that it will not work out. She waited and waited.

Yet, it was as if the woman was intentionally sitting down there frustrating her efforts, she didn’t go inside up to 12 in the middle of the night. And being a village, Lita was so scared of leaving the village in the middle of the night because she couldn’t find any bike or even taxi or car on the road. So she decided to stay as she closed her eyes that night to sleep.

Her finger started burning again. There was no ring on it though. But that place that marked red continued burning her. She woke up and started screaming again. This time around it was her mother-in-law that walked in. What is going on? Linda showed her. The woman now instructed her to wear the ring again and that’s the only way the burning would stop.

But Linda refused. She swore she may never let that ring enter her finger again. But the woman insisted that if she wants to be free that wearing the ring is the only way she can be free. Linda became confused. Mama this ring is hurting me. Are you asking me to wear it? I can’t. Oh, I am so so sorry. I cannot do that.

Linda begged Naso and told him to stop his mother from doing what she’s doing. Ono could not say a word. It was as if the mother was controlling everything. As the mother was trying to force the ring on her finger, Linda pushed her off and she fell on the floor. She didn’t even look back.

It was even raining that night. Linda entered that rain and ran as her feet could carry. She ran towards the main main road. That was when she was able to stop and immediately she walked out of that house and ran towards that main road. She noticed that her finger suddenly came back to normal. It was as if nothing had happened on that finger. Lea became shocked.

Hey God, I beg. What sort of joke is this? What sort of evil family is this? And why were people saying so many good things about them? God forbid we not enter into hell in the name of March. Haha. Thank you for that housekeeper. If not for her, I know I would have died like others. She managed to get home and the mother welcomed her so wholeheartedly.

She was so happy seeing her daughter alive and the mother kept on telling her, “I never sleep at night. I keep on having bad dreams.” That is why I call you often and all to make sure that my precious daughter is fine. Thank you God for delivering my daughter from such evil family. See a this can never go unpunished.

We need to tell the villagers in fact if it’s possible tell your story on social media. People should actually verify very well about people they are getting married to especially the family their history. It is obvious that few people knows about this but we asked the wrong set of people. Now imagine that that housekeeper did not help you.

That is how I will lose my only daughter. Linda’s mother was so grateful to God for bringing back her daughter home alive. Two weeks later, Mama Gloria called and Linda did not pick the call, but Linda’s mother picked the call on her behalf. The woman delivered the bad news that Osuo is dead, that he collapsed in the night and he never woke up.

He was requesting that Linda come back to the house to come and bury her husband. But Linda’s mother rebooked her and told her thank God that no is dead. So there is nothing that is linking the two of them. It is still dead do part and my ex-in-law. Thank God that dead have already done the doer part. Please do not call our number again.

I would delete my daughter’s number from your phone. Bury your son and mourn him in peace. You people almost killed my daughter. Days later, after Noso died, Linda went back to Lagos and she continued her beauty shop that she was running before she had to shut it down all because of marriage. Please, whenever an elder is warning us, let us always listen.

We shouldn’t let love blind us. And when we find ourselves in danger, run as your feet could carry you. Do not wait till it gets worse. That is why women in domestic violence sometimes they have a way of running away. But still they still stood there. You are there because of what? Because of your children.

That if you die, they will still survive. Why don’t you leave? Leave to fight another day. Leave. Gather yourself together. Make good money and go back for your children. Then when you die inside our marriage, nothing can happen. What do you learned from this story? Besties tell me in the comment section.
