Many times, people around me do wonder why I am a loner. It's only someone who hasn't been hurt, betrayed, or utterly disappointed by family or friends who won't understand what disappointment feels like; it's nothing like being disappointed at work or by your boss.
I have this love for my cousins; I used to love them so much. So when I relocated from my formers base to my current base, I decided to stay with them. While I sort accommodations issues out.
It's not like they ask me to leave their house or something else. I just don't like inconveniencing anyone, especially if the house is too small for the number of people inside.
One of my cousins is married, and she is living in the same environment as her sisters and other family members, just that she is living on the express side of that local government, while her family and her sister that I was staying with leave at the village part of the community.
On weekdays, I stay with her sister, who lives in the village side cause I work in the hospital there as their receptionist, and during the weekend, I don't go to work; someone else replaces me. I went to her house to help her with chores as she was pregnant.
I loved this, my cousins, with the whole of my heart, I was willing to do anything that would make her happy. Sometimes, I would share my salary and give it to her as her husband wasn't that buoyant then.
So, one day, I was on my way to another local government for registration of something that all the families were aware of and even encouraged me to apply for it. I left only for my father to calm her to check up on me. She told my father that she didn't know where I went and thayt how I always leaves the house steady without letting anybody know my way about.
When my father finally called me and told me what she said, I was really hurt. I had to confront her, and she denied it right in front of my father. She apologized that my father didn't hear her well; it wasn't what she said. I let it slide; if I remember, I wish I didn't let it slide back then and take it to heart as a sign of someone not taking a liking to you.
For some weeks I was avoiding her house until my grandfather intervened and settled us. Until the last one that made me stay away from her for 10 whole years now till date, I have forgiven her, but nothing binds us together, I have severely the tie.
I was eventually accepted into this program, and she was rejected; they all started being hostile to me out of the blue. One unfortunately fateful day, I was on my way to the program, and I had a very fatal accident that I almost lost my life.
They were contacted, and not even one single person showed up at the hospital; instead, they called my mom, who was in the capital city, to come check me that they didn't know if I was alive or dead. That's how my parents rushed down and took me from the hospital that a friend rushed me to, to the capital city hospital till I recovered. Not even one person visited.
When they later found out I was alive, they started saying that it was out of jealousy that everything was working out well for me. Why me? I have been silently wishing to be like them but never wished them death. I felt so disappointed, I would never do that to them.
