The day I was chased by a ghost

I remember a time when I was little, I and my 3rd brother are like twins, we do everything together,commit crimes together, stubborn together and always looking for trouble together. Which brings in my 2nd brother,that boy is an enemy of progress sent to torture us, anytime we do something wrong, my brother will tell us to hug our window burglary and kiss the window, he will na look for those sandals we wear those days, those akube sandals or slippers,like those ones that are stronger than all the problems in Nigeria join together,my brother will start throwing it at us, if na your head or neck e touch, you are on your own, everyday he invent new punishment for us, even if we didn't do anything, he will still beat us and the worst part,he will force us to do all his chores while he goes out to play. One day we were in the compound playing when my 3rd brother said he wants to go and drink water,he went upstairs and i was waiting for him in the compound downstairs, when he came back downstairs,he asks me if I have seen our 2nd brother,I said no na,was we not here together?🧐was not me and you here together? 🧐The next thing I hear is, brother seun had left his chores to us again,I said noo naa, where did he go?🥺 And it was already evening around 6pm, yeeeh, we know we have to go and do the chores because if my mom comes back from work and meet any chores undone everybody will be in trouble,both of ran upstairs,his chores for that day was to wash the dirty plates in the house while the rest of us fetch water, we packed all the plates in a basin and made to go outside then I look at my 3rd brother and told him, how long are we going to endure tyrant? Let's do him something at least, both of us decide to wicked him small, so we made up our mind that we are going to scare him, we opened my mom's wardrobe and took out a very white bedsheet then hang it on the wardrobe making it look like a ghost and it looks exactly like that,Even we that put it there were almost convinced that it's a ghost 👻 then we went downstairs to wash the plates while laughing and thinking of how scared our brother will be when he comes home and see our beautifully made ghost, we even act out different sceneros. We were happy to finally get back at him, while washing the plates we were also playing,by the time we are through it was already dark outside, by now we have forgotten about our 2nd brother and the ghost in the room,we were just living our best life, when we got upstairs we made our way inside my brother was at the front, I was behind him, we were both carrying plates, from the sitting room to the bedroom,the moment he step into the bedroom my brother just stood there like a stature,i was confused, go naw I push him with the plates I was holding, he refused to budge,I squeeze my head through to see what's making him stagnant like that, the moment my eyes saw the cloth,I screamed and bolted towards the door shouting ghost,ghost,ghost, throwing away all the plates I was holding,the plates start hitting me as they fell, poor me thought it was the ghost trying to stop me from running outside,I increased my speed🏃,it was then the spell that was holding my 3rd brother left because the next thing I see is him running past me like Usain bolt🏃💨,eeehhh egbami o, by the time we got downstairs the whole compound is outside, I even saw daddy lati with soap and sponge on his head😂, everybody was asking what happened and our house then was like a barrack, I wonder if our landlord decide he and his children will never work again when he built that house, they should just be collecting house rent, very greedy man,☺️ back to the story, they start asking us what happened, just as I wanted to explain I suddenly remembered the trap we sent for my 2nd brother, yeeh what have I done?😳and they did not born me well to tell them that it's a prank when I don't want to live in hiding for the rest of my life, I looked at my brother,my brother looked at me, both of us can see in each other's eyes that we need to come up with a story to save our life especially from daddy Selim, that man use to gym, if he mistakenly slap me with that hand,I will go to heaven and come back👻, I looked at my brother again,he looked at me,I decide to be the one to make up the story, I started with, there's a big snake upstairs just as am trying to form stories as to where the snake is and that it has left, guess who I saw walking in like he's a celebrity walking on a red carpet, chewing puff-puff with a ball under his arm, you are right it was my 2nd brother, I just sat down on the floor and went, waaaaahhhhhh, at this point I don't even care about anything else,I was just crying while saying "kill me, just kill me" the most annoying part ,my 2nd brother looked confused for a moment🧐 but when he saw both of us on the floor crying like an Igbo business man that loose all his goods to the sea, my 2nd brother starts laughing,just seeing us crying is a gain for him, my 3rd brother increased his volume I increased mine too, everybody just left us and went back to the rooms except my 2nd brother, he continued laughing at us until we picked up our broken selves and went inside, that's how our plan back fired and our beautifully made ghost scare us instead of our brother.
