MILLION TEARS

(Sisters Betrayal)

Episode 5

By PRINCESS ASA JOE

Not up to 30 minutes, Glory came back and Ella walked right behind her

I was raged at seeing her but thank God she didn’t come when my temper was extremely hot
I am sure I would have killed her

Sister, what happened?
Why did you ask her to come lock the shop and pay Alice off?
You didn’t even call me to……..

I interrupted her

Keep your mouth shut you devil in human form! I said and stood up from the sofa as Ella shifted back fearfully

I am very sure she have never seen me in this mood before

Ella, Ella
Mtcheee!
Ella, congratulations. I said as tear dropped down my face

Oh no, I don’t want a single tear to drop down so Ella won’t feel victorious
I want boldness written all over me
But I just can’t control it
The pain of the one you fed biting you is uncontrollable

Sister, what are you congratulating me for?
She asked and I smiled and wiped my tears

Hope you are happy now Ella?
You are happy that you have taken what rightfully belongs to your own blood
Hope you are happy for biting the finger that sacrificed a lot and lot to feed you
Hope you are happy to God for answering your prayer
Hope you are Ella?
Hope you are happy now becoming the new Mrs Jimmy? I asked and she was shocked including glory who covered her mouth with her two hands

Sister what are you talking about?
I am lost here! Ella said pretending seriously

And you will forever be lost for making this day memorable to me in a bad way
Ella, what have I ever done to deserve this treatment from you?
Have I ever wronged you?
Did I do the wrong thing by accommodating you in my house?
Did I do the wrong thing by sacrificing my everything for your sake?
Ella, I dropped out of school cos of you
I stole from people, toiled so hard and suffered so much to see you through school
I remembered the day I was beaten blue and black cos of you and the statement you dropped that day was, “next time, if I am not strong, I should not fight”
The scar in my left hand till today is as a result of that fight
Ella, I remembered almost being raped by a drunkard the other cos I was hawking in the night just to pay your school fees
It was only God that saved me
Ella, I remembered being knocked down by an okada rider because I wanted to cross to the other side of the road to sell 10 naira pure water just to buy you drugs cos you were dying
Ella what I passed through cos of you was uncountable
And you decided to repay me back by sleeping with my husband
You decided to pay me back by having sex with my husband right under my nose
You decided to pay me back by restricting me from having my own child
You decided to pay me back by getting pregnant for my own husband
Aah! This pain is unbearable
Ella, you stabbed me beyond repair
God should take my life
I have seen it all
I see all these things happen on movie
I never knew I would be a victim
Ella, you got pregnant for my husband
No problem
Congratulations
I won’t lay a cause on you cos if I should, I am sure you will suffer till the end of your life
If I should lay cause on you, you will never know peace but I won’t
Let me be the strong woman I am and step down for you to take over and reap where you did not sow
Enjoy what you did not suffer for
I won’t judge you cos the bible said judgement belongs to God alone
Let me leave you and Jimmy for karma to find it’s way to you guys
God knows I never wronged you in any way and since you have decided to repay me this way, karma will surely finds it way
You slept with my husband because there are no men outside again right?
Ella, this tears I am shedding for you today, you will shed it in million ways unless I am not serving a living God
I don’t want to hear anything from you Ella
Get out of this house. I said and sat down and Ella clapped her hands thrice and burst out laughing

I got the biggest shock of my life
Ella isn’t even remorseful after what she did? I asked myself

Aunty motivational speaker, are you done?
You should be ashamed of yourself
6 good years without any good result and you are not thanking me for helping you get a good result
Thank you for stepping down
You know what, Jimmy is such a sweet man and every woman’s dream
So I got pregnant for him since you couldn’t
Eater of unborn children
You have eaten all your unborn children and you are here talking nonsense in the name of motivational talk
Abeg shift joor
You can come and pack your clothes and move out of the house or if you don’t mind, let me help you do that
Shameless……….. She was interrupted by a hot slap from Mom glory

Are you not ashamed at yourself?
As in, you are even bold to talk rubbish,?
You are not ashamed of sleeping with your sister’s husband?
You are a devil incarnate.
Your type can kill and eat a human being
I never knew you were this poisonous until today
Please get out of my house you evil child. Glory said and Ella laughed

I will go, but please don’t forget to tell Miranda to come and pack her things out of the house
If she doesn’t come, I will change my mind and she won’t take any pin from the house again
That house belongs to me
The house is mine
I am already carrying Jimmy’s son and you know what that means
It automatically makes me his wife
Miranda, hahaha
So you never knew you were just a side chick all these while?
Hahahahaha
Shame on you! Ella said and walked out leaving me speechless and shocked
