So, I have this cousin from my father's side. She's actually my favorite in every word of it.
We gist, talk. She's infact my best friend in the family and I love her die.
So sometime ago, I lost her contact until the day one of her siblings called and informed me she's around.
Out of excitement, I asked her sister to immediately hand her the
phone which she did and we both talked like we always did and tried to catch up hence,
I decided to tell her something I have never told anyone except my sister and best friend. I just needed the right time to tell my family.
Two days later, the whole family got to hear about it. If you're from a very large extended family, you will understand what that means.
The rubble was so much that you would think I did something else.
My parents were very upset that I had to explain to them I was actually waiting for the right time to share it with them.
My Aunts of course, have words to say. I became so shocked that I just couldn't keep up.
I've never felt the pain of betrayal than that. My name trended in the family table and I got really upset.
I was almost tempted to call and thank her for what she did to me but I felt it could make it worse hence, I moved on.
I vowed never to speak with her again. So, this evening, I noticed someone's been trying to reach me and lo, she's the one.
Didn't return it nor call her back. I've discovered that most family members especially those who are not from your parents are actually spies.
That checking up on you isn't as it is. They hand over your life's activities to those whom you decide to stay away from.
Have you ever experienced this?? How did you handle it?
