This will be the first story I will share on steem, full of lessons

This is for all parents, let's us all read and learn, it is titled MY SISTER'S HUSBAND.

Episode One

I walked into the compound one Saturday afternoon then I heard my neighbour yelling at her teenage daughter again, what is it about this woman? why is she always shouting and condemning this girl? we were not closed but we did greet each other, I summon the courage and knocked on her door

She opened the door and was surprised to see me by the door

"Good afternoon madam", I greeted her

"Good afternoon ma" she answered

I asked why she is always shouting on her daughter

She told me how awful the child is and how she regretted given birth to her

I was shocked, how could you say that in her presence? I asked

It is because you don't know her, she is a good for nothing child and I believe nothing good can come out of her, she replied

Madammmmmmm

What do you think of a child who has started having boyfriends at her age, very soon she will become pregnant

That is alright madam, Can I please talk to her? I demanded

I pray she listens, she obliged

I took the girl to my flat and asked why she is not making her mother happy

She narrated her own part of the story and I felt sorry for her, she told me how awful her mother is towards her, how her mother prefers her elder brother and her kid sister to her

"My mother sees fault in everything I do, she condemns me and praises my siblings all the time, she always remind me that nothing good can come out of me, she is a mother who is not ready to listen to her child, I was almost raped recently, I really wanted to share this with her but the fear of putting the blame on me made me shut my mouth, I am still a virgin, yet she belives am useless, my mother hates me but I hate them more

Them? How do you mean? I tried to find out
I hate her and her loved and perfect children

Hmmm! I sighed

I was happy when I caught my brother smoking cigarette last week, I cannot imagine my mother's favourite, the perfect child, smoking

Did you inform your mother?

No, she answered

Why didn't you tell her? I queried her

Tell her for what? I don't have any business with any of them in that house, I pray I pass my exams and leave that house as soon as possible, I'm tired, she broke down in tears

I calmed her down and told her how well her mother loves her, I gave her some piece of advice and she promised me to be of good behaviour henceforth.

But I wish I can please my mother, she added

Don't worry, your mother will change, I assured her

She left with smiles, I was happy I made her smile

I went inside my room to look for one unpublished story I wrote years ago, I was glad I found it, I titled it MY SISTER'S HUSBAND

I met her the next day, though she was busy when I saw her, but she promised to come see me later in the day. I was excited when she knocked on my door that evening, I welcomed her into my home, she met my two daughters watching movie, she cracked some jokes with them before they excused us into their room
We started talking and I told her to be calm so as not to blame herself in the future, I gave her the book and pleaded with her to read every line of the story

I was glad when she told me she loves reading

"This won't take me up to thirty minutes, let me quickly read please" she said as she started reading.....................

Watch out for the next episode
