IF REVERSE WAS THE CASEUpdated at Jul 31, 2025, 12:23
In the early days of my youth, things where quite normal I would say.... Good morning world, good morning ma , good morning pa... good morning to you my daughter my dad will say. I could boldly say I had the best parents, family in the world, parents who corrects you with love and discipline .... Back to when I had to sweep the compound,we where on holiday for the moment we were back home from the city were we lived, now in my hometown very quiet and calm little village we had our neighbours some nice while... you know the usual beings that vowed not to know peace. we had some relatives from my paternal side not what you could call the best, just had to cope with their bullshits, anyways....my name is Becky, I'm 16 years of age almost through with my senior education, just give me a year or so and I will be done....oooops my mum's calling,yes mum! I'm on my way Becky!! are you not done sweeping the compound . I'm done with it.then what kept you, I have been waiting ehhhh!...I want you to run some errands for me. To where mum, What's it.You will have to get something from your uncle for me.... ooooooo!! nne I can't get that for you ooo...before I could complete my sentence I got a hot smack on my arm. ouch!!! nne it's painfulmy friend will you keep quiet, which one is you can't go to your uncles house and get something for me,nyenye!! mum that's why I never wanted to come back to the village ooo, every time we will have to visit that man's house... are you done blabbing,go there he would give you what to bring to me. nne does it not have a name..just go there,he said he wants to give you meat or what I don't really know, just go get it and don't be late..I have heard you, I wished dad was the eldest amongs them all. I murmured all through the way,on reaching there, I met the urrggh!! the wifegood afternoon ma. with a glance she replied,is it afternoon or good morning you are to greet me ehhhhh!!I can see you were not properly trained, you think schooling in the city is the big deal ehhh... but ma...don't but me, go inside you will see my husband, let him give what it is you came for.. I felt like punching her face, what a heartless woman.... wait!! wait!!! before you judge me, saying I was wrong ,the distance from our house to theirs is quite far to add it up the sun was quite harsh on me... didn't even receive a warm welcome from her not even a cup of water,even if it were just some pretence I would have appreciated it, anyways I still have to greet my sweet uncle I guess..gosh I hate saying that... good afternoon uncle . mhmm, afternoon good to you, Why didn't you come on time to get what I have for your family. it was the distance sir and I...why didn't you ride on a bike?I .. just keep the explanation to yourself,it won't make sense after all...I mean you are here already, just take it and leave. okay sir, which of it . the polythene on the left,as you know you females are always the weak ones okay, I'll tell my parents you greeted . wait!!! did my wife offer you any water to drink?No... okay then let me cal...I mean yes! yes she gave me water,I mean I got water from the pot over there, I was really thirsty, just had to drink some water. okay if you say so.yes sir, good bye sir I walked as fast as my legs could carry me, I wouldn't want to stay there for a second even if I was offered a huge amount of money..I really dislike the man and his family,he did marry someone who matched his energy, bunch of diabolic people. I wonder what the content of this bag holds, hhmm, I can feel something that looks like a wrapper, the other hhhhhhmmmmm smells like dried meat... I'm not eating any of this, I wonder why he had to rub the fact on my face that I'm a girl..whatever his opinion doesn't count anyways I really missed school, I missed my friends, teachers and all the fun activities we had in school, forgot to tell you something, I had a crush back then... Becky! Becky!yes, I was instantly snapped back to reality.. what's it ...ooo it's you Sandra what where you thinking.nothing, absolutely nothing, what's up. Are you sure?yes.if you say so, I met with your mum at the market.okay what did she say. nothing to worry about, she said if I happen to see you on my way home, I should inform you to hurry home. it's that all she said?yes,were you expecting something else not really... just had a nice day today with my extended family. you mean your uncle, I thought as much...I don't really like your uncle then how is that my business? don't tell me you like your uncle...you want me to say I hate him don't you?well you ain't going to hear that from,look for someone else, in fact I love my uncle with all my heart..... almighty please I don't mean what I said to this girl right now. whatever!!, you like your uncle, you hate your uncle that's your business...oya na bye bye, thanks for the message
