Lying is for Liars
By Oyinkan Braithwaite
“Did you use my perfume?” “No.” but my face gave me away. I couldn’t look aunty Ronke in the eye. My eyes darted from curtain, to table, to floor and back again. I watched the ants following a militant path to the sugar cube I had dropped on the floor. “What have I told you about lying?” “Lying is for liars.” “And the truth?” “The truth will set you free.” “Good and stop taking my perfume.” Her voice was light, as though she was smiling and so I looked up. She winked at me. A gesture that lit up her gorgeous features. “Isn’t it past her bedtime?” aunty Yinka had walked into the room and she frowned at her sister. Then she took me by the hand and we walked up the stairs to my room. “Will you tell me a story?” she blinked at me, and her long eyelashes flickered. She told me the story of the boy who cried wolf.***
I woke up to shouting. Curious, I tiptoed downstairs and opened the living room door. They stood as though frozen, facing each other and breathing heavily. In side profile like that, they could have been the same person. Their lips were pulled back in a sneer, their eyes were narrowed. And then they flung at each other. You could not distinguish who was who in the flurry of braids, and arms, and scarves. Aunty Ronke had her hands around her sister’s throat and she was squeezing. I screamed and the noise separated their bodies. Aunty Yinka walked over to me, hugged me and walked out. Aunty Ronke took my hand and led me to my room. She lifted me into my bed and tucked me in. Then she asked me who I liked better “Between you and aunty Yinka?” “Yes, love.” she replied as she stroked my hair – I shivered. I wanted her to stop touching me. I could feel her fixed nails clawing at my roots and scraping my skull. I looked her in the eye. “You, aunty Ronke.” She kissed me firmly on the cheek and left. Aunty Yinka came in and asked the same question. I smiled, and gave her the same answer. She looked away first. I could not sleep.
