A lady has shared heartbreaking details of how her brother paid her back for sponsoring his education after they became orphans.
She claims that when their mother passed away, leaving them orphans, she was in Jss 3 and her brother was in his second year of college. When their lease ran out, their only choice was to return to the village, but her brother said no. He went and begged the landlord for a three-month grace period so they could prepare and leave, and the landlord agreed. Her brother came up with a scheme in which they would have to look for a family for her to live with so they could pay her, then she would support his schooling with her paycheck while he, too, looked for something little to also help his education, and then once he graduated and started she will continue with her education with his help.
She thought it was a great idea, and she felt very fortunate to be working for such a lovely and generous family. She kept the remaining 20,000 for herself and gave her brother 15,000 of her monthly income. She doesn’t even uses it because Madam’s younger sister, who lives with them, usually buys sanitary pads, roll-on deodorant, body spray, and perfumes for her each month as a thank-you for washing her clothing and cleaning her room.
She frequents a large saloon run by her madam that is close to the estate gate every day. She typically stays at home with her spouse because he works from home most days, taking care of him and cleaning the house. One day, while he was at work, her madam’s husband invited her into his room and inquired what else she did around the house besides wash and clean. She said there was nothing else. He informed her that they had chosen to raise her pay to 30,000 in recognition of her hard work and consideration for their children. She finally worked up the nerve to tell him that she preferred to always visit the shop and collaborate with Madam, and that was when she started going to the shop except on Wednesdays and Saturdays and her beautiful madam started teaching her how to fix nails.
She gained a lot of knowledge in a year and began working for her. She put in a lot of effort over the holiday season, and in return, she received a raise of 45,000 and gifts of new clothing and a phone. Her boss raised her pay to 45,000. 15,000 for shop employment and 30,000 for a career as a house girl.
She used to pay her brother 20,000 because her salary was 30,000 and save 10,000 for herself, but then she realized it had been five years and her brother had assured her his education will be through in three years, yet she was still sending him money. She then made the decision not to inform him about the latest pay raise. She questioned him if he was still in school when he arrived to collect money, but he became irate and departed. Despite growing suspicious, she refrained from discussing it with her madam. A few weeks later, some women visited the saloon to get their hair and nails done.She asked the woman when she saw her brother holding the woman in what appeared to be a prewedding photo and she replied that he is her fiancé and that their traditional wedding is in four days. She managed to do her assignment while being damaged and bewildered. Her madam asked her if she was okay when she realized she wasn’t, and she responded that she was.
She decided to speak with her mistress when they arrived home because she could no longer take the discomfort. The following day, she devised a plan and called her brother to let him know she was ill, that they were in the hospital, and that he should come visit her. He said he would be there that day, but he never showed. She phoned him again after two days and informed him that she had already taken three pints of blood and that he was required to come and donate at least one pint or send them money to purchase more. He explained to her that he is now working on a project and is strapped for finances.After a week, he showed up, and the only thing she could say to him was that she should be allowed to die if he didn’t have any additional money.
She questioned him as to what she had done wrong for him to get married without notifying her, graduate from school two years ago, served and land a job while still collecting the meager wages she earned from her daily labor. Additionally, she questioned him about his intentions for her because he had previously promised her an education and a better life. In answer, he said that she was not his responsibility and that he owed her nothing because he now had a family to support. Regarding education, she should forget about it and look for a husband and get a life.
