STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

UNGRATEFUL HUMAN BEING...

Good day Mrs Korkus.
Before I proceed I want to ask if there's any help one can give to a person that will be greater than shelter?

To my story. It may be a long read so please bear with me. 

My older siblings were no longer with my parents when they had me,so I was all alone while growing up and due to dad's nature of job then he comes home once in three or four months. So mom suggested she brought her nieces to come stay with us and so I can have playmates too. One was four while the other was six years respectively. This was years ago. 

This cousin of mine(the one who was six years) made a mistake sometime ago and was sent back to her parents but after much pleadings from everyone dad decided to accept her back. And by this time he's already been retired so you can imagine the burden on his head. It wasn't easy but God was there for us that there was never a day we complained of hunger. While in service he was able to build a three bedroom flat. In is own language "even though it's not a standard one at least there's a roof over my head and no landlord comes to me to say I need my rent". 

Everyone has got his or her own flaws which makes us human and as we grow up there are some things our parents may end up doing that we may not also find funny anymore because we've all grown up. So we end up talking back to them when they say some annoying stuffs to us. 

To the main gist now. The teen(13years old) in the house woke up and saw this my cousin but refused to greet her in the room. She later went outside to sweep the frontage and saw my cousin and now decided to greet her (making some funny faces and squeezing her mouth also). My cousin got angry and raised her voice saying this teen no longer has respect because we hardly flog her so she's now misbehaving. That since our parents has refused to instill values in her she would definitely do so to teach her some manners. Mom heard her voice and came out asking her what happened in low tune so as not to attract unnecessary attention from the neighbors. She flare-up telling mom not to ask her to calm down that the nonsense from the teen is getting out of hand. 

Meanwhile dad and I were talking in the parlor but because of the voices we heard we stood up from where we were to go see what was happening. Dad now called my cousin's attention and asked her what happened she narrated the same thing to him and dad was like this is no issue na,that if she greets in a way you don't like please don't answer her. Because if this is the reason you're angry then it's no big deal and it's not worth beating her for it. She immediately attacked my dad,that he is the one spoiling her therefore if the teen disrespects her any other time she won't waste time before beating her. My dad also got angry and told my cousin that if it's because of greeting you beat her he would not be happy with you but if she does something bad and you beat her for it he has no problem with that.

My cousin was seriously shouting on top her voice and constantly using the "because my parents find it difficult to flog her that's why she's misbehaving"slogan to indirectly insult my parents. I couldn't take it anymore and had to come in the matter to ask her if she's got no shame at all to talk to a man who has been taking care of her since she was little up till this moment she's now an adult. That if there's one thing she's supposed to do it's to thank God for the life of this man that took care of her and gave her shelter, clothing and food. That what is more important than these. That she's really ungrateful. My dad has only flogged us once while growing up all because we refused to attend church for two weeks. So it's not flogging that changes a child. And what if my father decides to send her packing where would she go to.

 She said he should chase her away and she would leave that all the rubbish in the house is too much. I got angry and said since she's tired she could leave so she came up with the "because it's your father's house you think you will stay with him forever? You'll also leave someday" I told her I know that but her own cup was already full. Because this is someone who contributed nothing to the house but is ready to spend heavily on herself. The only time she gives you something is when she no longer value that thing and it's not pretty in her eyes that's when she says "take its for you,do you like it? Or will you like to take it?" Otherwise she's always broke.

Is it the people that meet my dad on the way just to let him know where they saw my cousin and asked her to greet him for them. But because she couldn't say where she want she avoided telling him just so he wouldn't ask questions.
Thank God for the kind of man my dad is who would never ask you for a dime because he's ok with the pension he receives. And only God knows how he utilizes the money to pay our school fees and also give out the one for feeding. He's indeed a good father because it's our needs before his. Yet this cousin of mine is not seeing all the things he's done for her. 

She would go out and return anytime and if my mom tries to talk she would attack and tell her she's no longer a child that they can control. And I be like if you feel this way why not move out and have your freedom? Instead of making both parents feel bad. 

To cut the long story short when I returned from where I went to with mom, dad wasn't home because he had gone to answer the call of our neighbor(an elderly man). He came back home feeling hurt and was asking where he ever went wrong for him to be treated that way. Next thing I saw my dad crying and this is the second time I'm seeing him shed tears. The first was when he lost his first son and now a child he took care of is the one raining insults on him. I was really heart broken to see him that way and I kept asking myself why do bad things happen to good people? This is a man that has great plans but because of how things are it's as if nothing is working out. 

And so I wish its possible for one to borrow from his/her future account and pay back later so I can really help him fulfill his dreams maybe there'd be respect. Because the over familiarity is too much due to always sitting at home. Therefore the respect for him is gone.
It's still funny that after all that happened she refused to leave the house and couldn't even tender a proper apology to him. Yet she still stays in his house. To err is human they say and to forgive is divine. I told him to forgive and let go and also keep praying for her. But we know that whatever one sows he will surely reap.

She's carrying face for me but I no send because it's only a bad child that would allow an outsider to insult his parents without doing anything about it. I don't regret all I said to her because she's lost all the respect I once had for her by insulting my parents. Any day her head resets and she tries to communicate with me I'll reply. Because I don't wanna hold anything against anyone.
I'm sorry for the long epistle but I just needed to clear my head because I really felt bad that day.
Thank you Mrs Korkus😘 and all the wonderful bvs🤗.

*If she has started insulting your parents then she needs to leave that house,its simple....hisss!!!
