Lola's POV

Tola i shouted, she replied yes.

Anytime I call you, you should say ma and run down ere, then kneel down directly at my front with your head bowed down your head while I address you, I said

Look at the clothes you washed for me, they are not clean, I need you to wash it again, you left my panties, so add them to it

Get out, and do all these things as fast as you can, but Lola ,don't but me, when am talking you don't talk, I am not your mate, now leave, I said Stoning her with the panties.

Omotola's POV

I felt really bad, I am your little cousin not your little house help, even house helps should not be treated this was, I said 

Never call yourself my cousin, you where a mistake, maid is too good to qualify you she said.

I picked the clothes and washed them crying, crying wasn't hard for me again, I did all the house chores, then I ate the rat poison my aunt bought to kill the rat,  I ate it remembering my aunties words, You don't deserve a life, I felt so relieved after eaten it, I went to bed happy, this will be my last day on Earth, I wrote a note to my mom and left it on the table

To my greatest surprise I woke up earlier than usual, I cried till 4:00am, then got up to do my morning chores, I had severe pain in my stomach. I can't stay at home, I then prepared for school, before closing hours the stomach pains disappeared.

I got home  30minutes to 3pm, I rushed my assignment , my aunt's twins came back from school.

Tola, good afternoon Taiwo greeted, Taiwo was a very peaceful and loving cousin , the twins are my age mate too

. unlike Kehinde and Lola

Hey Tola get my bag and lunch box from the door, Kehinde said, I did as he said and I wondered why he didn't bring them inside since  he was coming inside.

I warmed the food their mum ask me to give them in the afternoon and served them, mine wasn't part of it , I recollect her telling me in the morning.

Taiwo's POV

Tola, have you eaten, no I haven't but am fine, he went to the kitchen and got an extra spoon, let's eat together, I said

I noticed the chores where to much for her, so I volunteered to assist her to wash the plates, then arranged the kitchen.

Tola, you are very strong, just sweeping this kitchen alone, I am already having back ache

Lola who was just coming back from school entered the kitchen, welcome ma, Tola greeted. Lol, I thought it was mom , why  the ma.

Taiwo what are you doing in the kitchen, Lola asked, am assisting my sister with the house chores I replied

She is not your sister, you only have one sister , which is me she said.

I looked at her angrily, why will you say such a thing, I asked. If you think am lying ask mum, she is a mistake that shouldn't  have happened. She said.

I stared at Omotola, who was about crying, I held her hand, don't cry, No one is a mistake, my Sunday school teacher thought us.

Get out of this kitchen, and don't let me see you do this again , Lola said

Lola's POV

I sent my brother out of the kitchen, then I faced Tola again, be very careful I warned, the next time I see my brother helping you. I will make sure mom hears.

It is your duty, you should do them alone, you are a born slave and you should not share that with  anyone. I said walking away

TOLA'S POV

The words she spoke really hurts me, but I don't blame her, i blame my mother for everything, if she had taken me with her, my life would have been without drama.

Taiwo still dodged to assist me, I tried stopping him, but he insisted.

You are not a mistake sis, you are just a victim of circumstances. 

Thanks Taiwo i replied.
