If you haven’t read the first part of this story, here’s the link. Kindly read it before starting this one.

One morning, my boyfriend called with a cold voice. He was still ranting about what happened. It had been a week but he still was not happy. I asked him, “So what do you want me to do now?” He answered casually, “Apologize to my sister. You embarrassed her. Why don’t you see it that way?”

He went on and on talking about our future, that he didn’t want me to have any issues with any member of his family. I agreed and asked him to give me some time. A few days later, he called to tell me he would be going home and his sister would be there so I should go with him to offer the apology. I agreed to that.

That same day in the evening, one of his siblings, Ama, called me. She said, “My elder sister wants to embarrass you in front of everyone so don’t bother to come with my brother. They were talking about it today and she’s bent on serving you a chilled revenge.”

I asked if my boyfriend was aware of the plot and she said she couldn’t say it because he wasn’t there when their sister hatched that plan.

Ama was there when the incident happened. When everyone was angry about what I did, she found it funny and later told me she would have done the same if she had my kind of courage because her sister liked taking things and not returning them.

I called my boyfriend and asked if he knew what his elder sister had planned. The first question he asked was, “Who told you?” Of course, I couldn’t t mention Ama’s name. He got infuriated and blamed me for doing everything not to apologize to her sister. I told him, “I’m trying to apologize to her because you want me to do it but if I go and she tries to insult me or embarrass me, I won’t stand idly and watch her do that to me.”

That also brought a huge argument between us where he concluded, “Don’t do it. I can see you don’t want to.”

A day before he went home, he asked if I was ready to go with him. I told him, “I’m no longer going. I won’t say sorry to her because I don’t regret my actions. He took what was mine and I took it back. Case close.”

I said that because Ama had called to tell me even her mom was part of the charade so I shouldn’t bother.

He went and came back and didn’t talk to me. He didn’t pick up my calls until days later. He spoke to me with ice in his voice. I called Ama. She told me what her sister said to my boyfriend. That if one day her brother brings me home as the woman he’s going to marry, he should count her out.

Everything shows my boyfriend isn’t ready to grow up from the shadows of his family. I don’t want such a man. I stopped calling him until he called weeks later to accuse me of being prideful and pompous. He hasn’t called again since that day. I know he’s waiting for me to call him first but that isn’t going to happen. I guess everything ends here and I’m ok.

When my story was first published, a lot of people were of the view that I should have let her keep it. Others said I shouldn’t wear it. What opened my eyes was the comment that said my boyfriend should have offered to buy it for me.

That guy doesn’t buy things for me. He thinks women are vain to want wigs and more shoes and makeup. So he complains whenever I do a new hair or do a makeup or buy another shoe.

That wig is no longer part of my collection. I gave it away. She couldn’t even keep it properly so it was in bad shape when I took it. I should have let her keep it when she was intentionally trying to avoid me so I wouldn’t have to talk about my wig? That’s pure witchcraft and I wanted her to know that I’m a bigger witch.
