A piece of my story
I was on the verge of bursting out in anger
But I reminded myself I am going to my apartment the next day.
So around 7pm,after we all thought we could finally take a breather.l, after the days work
Yes chores are annoying in my family
You will do chores all day and wonder if its a 9-5 job
Back to the story
My dad said i should make him eggs
In my mind i was like "are you fucking kidding me"
Like, I cannot sit down and do something for myself.
So I set out to make eggs with vengeance in heart.
Dad loves onions to a fault, it's almost annoying, we put his food in separate pot to satisfy his onion desire
and he particularly asked for more today
So I did double
He had already complained before now that we don't put enough onions these past days
So I did tripple
And served it, with bread and some tea.
He was angry,
"This onions is too much" he said
The wicked 😈 me inside me was laughing but I dare not show it.
Instead I said 😔 sorry sir.
We went about doing our thing, mum making my hair and talking with me.
Suddenly he called her,
"Iya, wam bi"
"See what your daughter made for me and
you did not bother to check on my food,
Look at how much onions is in fried eggs
Just look."
"When you marry, is this how you will fry egg"
I wanted to point out that normal people don't eat eggs the way he does and my husband will not demand for fresh food when he knows it's past cooking time, especially when we already made food already, I didn't plan entering the kitchen again.
Oh but before the thought ended
He added, "at your age, almost 30.
Still not married." And can't cook
No wonder
Then I took some steps back
This time I was shaking with anger, mum was behind me warning me not to do anything stupid
For heavens sake.
Mum said, "kneel and apologize"
I did
I knelt down and said
"I am sorry."
He said it is ok, but what if your husband wants a particular thing, is this how you will cook for him.
Education and intelligence is not what you need in your husband's house, so no matter how educated you are, be guided
Am I educated because of my husband.
Am I intelligent for my husbands use???
Is Marriage the only definition of living
I am laying down on my bed
Blinded with rage and understanding why young girls make decisions to marry because of certain insults from family and friends.
I have received slight utterances before now
Today is the first direct contact
