5 My Misery

Babe yes honey I noticed something about you and this niece of your. Honey what did you notice I hope there is no problem." No babes there is no wahala( Nigerian slangs). What I meant to say is that I don't like the way this your niece is behaving.

Honey what do you mean by how she behave." Babe to be honest with you, ever since this girl arrived in this house you no longer have time for me, I mean you are always taking care of her.

And on top of that she doesn't even address you properly, I mean anytime you talk to her or send her a message she is always addressing you with yes ma or no ma.

There is no Aunty's and nieces vibes at all in your conversation with each other. The girl is to boring for my liking. Honey please bring down your she might hear you." and so what if she heard me, and doesn't it look like I care.

Honey This Is just two weeks since we arrived Lagos, and not two years so I believe Annabelle will come around. I mean she will loosen up with time.

Honey you know this girl is not use to me yet, she is yet to accept me as her Aunty. And I am not upset about that at all because I believe I deserve it.

Babe please don't speak like that, you don't deserve to be punished for anything. At least in this world I believe nobody is perfect." everyone makes mistake in one way or the other we own others people apology for our actions.

So Babe relax you not the first and neither will you be the last.

Honey i understand that you are saying this to console me and also to make me feel better and I appreciate it.

But next honey please don't do that, because it makes me feel like the most terrible person on this planet earth.

Almost everyone in my village kept saying that I am a wick person that I abandoned my whole family for so many because of you.

Babe but why will you say that, honey it's because all those years i wasted here in Lago I would've used some parts of it to get along with my relatives.

Babe you know I never stopped you from going to see your people, you make that decision not to see them all by yourself. Babe I will appreciate it if don't put the blame on me. And besides I was never a party to that your decision, how come you are accusing me now.

Honey I am sorry, I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean to say that to you. Babe I understand you, of course I know we have never had a misunderstanding like this before.

Honey I hope you won't hold it against me. "Not at all babe I understand where you are coming.

If you have really forgiven me can I get a hug from you." Yes of course come here they both hug each other like a lover Birds.
