Sunday 7:30am

I woke up very early on Sunday morning prepare food for Mr. Williams and his family. It waa jusr I and Mercy in the kitchen;

True to her words, she couldn’t even prepare anything. She was just there, watching me do all the job and at the same time watching out for her dad.

“Do you have to wash the rice before cooking it?” Mercy blurted identically and I almost laughed out loud

What kind if question was that?I asked her before answering her.

“Yes”

“Why can’t you just pout it in the boiling water like that? You’re wasting time Tiwa”

“If I had always cooked rice like you just said then I doubt if I would still be alive because you and your mom would think I want to poison your”

“Don’t get it” she asked again

“It’s important to wash whatever you want to cook properly” I answered

“So you mean if I want to cook noodles I have to wash it?” She questioned stupidly again and this time I couldn’t help but laugh at her stupidity.

“No, that’s an exception, there are many other execptions too” I answered

“Okay”

“Yeah, pass me the vegetable oil please” I said

“What? Really Tiwa? Are you ordering me around? If not because of my dad, do you think I’ll be here?” She said

“Then leaves, it’s as simple as that”

“Are you indirectly threatening me? In my father’s house?” Mercy said

“How many times do you want to remind me that this is your father’s house? I know it’s your father’s house and I am not threatening you,

What’s your purpose here if you can’t even pass me the vegetable oil that’s just over there?

I’m doing what you should be doing and you know your dad will be mad if he finds out that I’m preparing the food, the least you can do is to help out” I said

“I don’t want him to find out, that’s why I’m here”

“Whatever floats your boat” I murmured as I grabbed the bottle containing the vegetable oil🍶🏺

“You’re becoming very rude and—-”

“Mercy you should pretend as if you’re doing something, your dad may be watching” Aunty Esther scolded immediately as she walked into the kitchen

“Pretend as if I’m doing what? I don’t even know what to do! Scratch that I can’t even do anything and I am in this mess because of you mom.

Of you didn’t tell Dad I was the one that prepared the food yesterday, I wouldn’t be in this goddamn kitchen.

I should be in my room sleeping or getting ready to meet Mr Williams family, his son especially” Mercy said

“I did it for you Mercy, if l had told your dad that it was Tiwa that prepared the food, you know what he would have said and I doubt if you would like it”

“But still—-”

“No buts dear, just imagine if he tells you the food is delicious right in the presence of The Williams”

“Oh that’s true but what if he finds out?”

“That’s if I decide to keep quite and not spill the beans” I interjected them

“What?” “What the hell?” Mercy and her mom said simultaneously

“What did you say?” They asked

“I said what I said” I replied rudely. To be very honest, I didn’t know where the confidence came from

“Are you threatening us?”

“No ma, I only stated the fact” I replied sarcastically

“Wow, you heard her mom? She threatened me even before you came into the kitchen and right in your presence she did it again

Surprisingly, her words instead of deterring me compelled me to say more

“I don’t think you and your daughter will ever get tired of pushing me around and treating me like crap but I want you to know this,

What goes around comes around and I know I’ll suffer greatly in your hands but I know for sure that my sad days will be over and yours will begin,

Write today’s date down especially you Mercy Anthony. I told them

Their eyes w¡dened in shock

Mouth hung open, l-ips slightly parted and just as I expected Aunty Esther’s hand landed on my left cheek.

She had slapped me with all her strength and I staggered but I quickly held the kitchen’s cabinet for support.

“How dare you speak to us like that?” She whispered and yelled again. I know she was trying to control her anger,

I could see it in her eyes and her body said it all. If her husband wasn’t at home, she would have dealt with me.

“You’ve grown wings Tiwa and I’ll not tolerate any nonsense from you! Let today be the first and last day you’ll ever talk to me or my daughter like this

But you’re right about one thing though, you’ll suffer greatly in my hands” she threatened and walked out

“You shouldn’t have said that and just like my mom said, you’ll pay”

” Well I’m used to you and your mom’s ill treatment” I said

“I bet you’re not used to anything, your suffering just started dear because you’ve sprinkled salt on my mom’s wound”

“I know and I’m ready whatever both of you want to do but both of you will definitely regret it.

You may do whatever you wish with me right now but I know KARMA will do it’s job, l…l…l may not be alive to witness it but you’ll regret it, because KARMA is like a cafe.

The k ly difference is that you don’t have the privilege to order for anything, you get served what you deserve.

My pain and suffering will may or may not end and just like you’ve my baby’s life miserable just like you’ve made mine

and it’s not your fault neither is it your mom’s it’s because God himself has forsaken me” .
