30 Days in The Brothel Episode Ten
Ndu stood in the cell with his eyes fixed on Kate who sat on the floor as if he was mourning a dead relative. Her face drenched by tears. The air was heavy with tension, and the silence between them was deafening. Ndu had asked Kate some questions but she has failed to answer. He decided to repeat the questions just in case she didnโt hear him the first time. He was impatient and eager to know why his own wife would turn against him.
โWhy, Kate? Why did you do it? Did you leave the house on your own, or were you kidnapped? I need to know the truth,โ Ndu demanded, his voice was clearly heavy under the weight of his emotions. He was losing his mind.
Kate looked up at him with her eyes filled with guilt and regret. She knew it was her last chance to explain herself. โNdu, Iโฆ I left on my own,โ she admitted. Her voice was so low and weak that Ndu could barely hear her.
Nduโs heart was shattered into tiny shards like a broken bottle. He had held onto a sliver of hope that maybe, just maybe, she had been forced into this situation. But her confession shattered that hope. โWhy? Why would you do this to us? To me?โ he asked. His voice was filled with anguish.
Kate delayed for a moment before speaking again with her voice trembling. โI wanted to cheat on you, Ndu. Just like you cheated on me.โ Ndu was shocked when he heard his wife talk about cheating.
โWhat are you talking about? I never cheated on you!โ Ndu said.
Kateโs tears flowed freely as she continued. โYes, you did! I came back from work one day and saw you in our matrimonial bed with another woman. I was devastated, Ndu. I felt betrayed and humiliated. That was why I went to the brothel. I wanted to hurt you the way you hurt me. I wanted men to sleep with me so you would feel the pain I felt.โ Kate said tearfully.
Nduโs heart was beating with speed as he tried to process her words. โKate, I have no idea what youโre talking about. I have never cheated on you. Never!โ He said, but Kate shook her head, refusing to believe him.
โI saw you, Ndu! I saw you with my own โkoro koroโ eyes!โ Kate said. Nduโs checked his head to know if he may have cheated and forgot but he found no such thing in his brain. But he soon remembered what his wife was referring to as cheating.
โKate, the woman you sawโฆ that was my mother. She had come to visit us, and she was feeling unwell. I let her rest in our bed while I helped to massage her kneel. You must have come in at that moment.โ Ndu said. Kate was shocked to hear that. Her face turned pale. โYourโฆ your mother?โ she stammered, her voice barely audible.
Ndu nodded, his heart breaking for her. โYes, Kate. It was my mother. I would never cheat on you. I love you.โ
Kateโs world came crashing down around her. The realization that she had destroyed her marriage over a misunderstanding was too much to bear. She collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. โIโm so sorry, Ndu. Iโm so sorry,โ she cried.
Ndu knelt beside her, his own tears streaming down his face. โKate, why didnโt you talk to me? Why didnโt you ask me about it?โ
Kate shook her head, unable to find the words to explain her actions. โI was hurt and angry. I wasnโt thinking clearly. I just wanted to hurt you the way I thought you had hurt me.โ She said.
Ndu sighed deeply. His heart was heavy with sorrow. โKate, youโve destroyed everything we had. I donโt know if I can ever forgive you for this.โ Ndu lamented. Kate looked up at him, her eyes filled with hot tears.
โPlease, Ndu, give me another chance. Iโll do anything to make it right. I love you.โ She pleaded but it was clear to her that it was too late. Ndu stood up. Looking at his face, one would see an angry man who had been betrayed by a wife he loves. He was done with the marriage. There was nothing anyone would do to rescue it.
โI loved you too, Kate. But you betrayed me in the worst way possible. I canโt just forget that.โ Ndu said again.
As Ndu turned to leave, Kateโs sobs grew louder. โNdu, please! Donโt leave me!โ
But Ndu didnโt look back. He walked out of the cell, his heart shattered into a million pieces. As he stepped out of the police station, he felt a sense of finality. His marriage was over, and there was no going back.
Meanwhile, Kate was left alone in the cell. Her mind was filled with regret and despair. She had lost everything. She lost her husband, her freedom, and her future. She had played a dangerous game, and now she was paying the price. She fell terrible sick.
Later that day, Kate was taken to the hospital for a routine medical check-up since she was always collapsing and fainting. The doctors ran several tests, and the results were devastating. Kate was diagnosed with HIV. The news hit her like a ton of bricks. She had not only destroyed her marriage but also her health. When Ndu found out about Kateโs diagnosis, he was heartbroken. Despite everything she had done, he still cared for her. But he knew that he couldnโt go back to her. He had lost his wife, and there was no way to fix what had been broken.
Because of his love for her, he still visited her at the hospital. However, he knew that he had to move on with his life. He had loved Kate deeply, but her betrayal had changed everything. As he walked away, he vowed to never let anyone hurt him like that again.
Kate, on the other hand, was left to face the consequences of her actions. The story of Ndu and Kate was a tragic one, a tale of love, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of misunderstandings and poor choices. In the end, both of them were left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, forever changed by the events that had resulted from a lack of communication.
If Kate had talked to Ndu before taking her decision, she would have known that he was not cheating. This is why communication is important in every relationship.
THE END.
Kate, lack of communication, patience and trust now see your end.
Its wel
Soo sad!!
