My attitude 3.
Immediately I got home around 11:52pm and opened the door, I noticed that my wife was still chatting and smiling.
“Who is making my wife smile shee.pishly online?”, I asked myself.
She barely noticed that I was back from the party. I had to announce my presence by telling her that I was back already.
“Babe, I am back from the party”
“Welcome back”, she replied.
I changed into my night wea.r before I joined her in bed that night. I was deeply distu.rbed by my wife’s sudden attitude.
“Babe, is there anything you want to tell me? I noticed that since I came back last night, you’ve been acting strang.e. Are you ok? “, I asked while care.ssing her hair.
” I am ok”, she chuckled.
To prove that she was ok to me, she switched off her phone and drew closer to me. She laid on my chest, held me and slept off.
I stared at her face for sometime as she slept like a newborn baby. I imagined what I have made her go through; the nights she had to stay awake while waiting for me to come back from different parties I attended with my friends.
Even as she slept, she looked so beautiful that I would never allow another to take her away from me.
I didn’t know when i slept off. I was woken up the next morning by the crows of Mama Bisi’s coc.k and the chirping of birds which sang melodiously near my window.
I jolted from the bed, took my bath and ate the breakfast my wife prepared for me before heading to work.
I couldn’t concentrate at work because thoughts of my wife occupied my mind. I was disorganized and my boss noticed.
“Mr Emeka, you seem disturbed today? Is there anything you would like to share with me, I might be of help”, he said when he noticed that I was absent minded.
” Sir, it is just a minor issue. There’s nothing to worry about”
” Please, I wouldn’t want those issues to interf.er with your work in the office. Compile those documents and bring it to my office”,he said before leaving my office.
” Alright, sir”
After work that day, I decided to go home immediately and meet my wife.
On getting home and opening the door, I saw my wife speaking to someone on phone.
When she saw me, she ended the call abruptly.
“I will call you back later”, she said with a smile on her facee as she welcomed me.
“Babe, who was that you were talking to?”
“Eeeerm, huh! It’s just a friend”, she stutt.ered.
That was the part that broke the camel’s back. I knew instantly that something was wrong and my wife was hiding something from me.
To avoid further questions from me, she grabbed the briefcase from my hand and went into the bedroom to drop it.
I stood there thinking of what to do when my phone rang. I glanced at my phone and discovered that it was an unknown number.
I picked the call immediately.
“Hello Emeka, this is chidi your friend. There is a big party happening in town today and you can’t afford to miss it. Where are you now? ”
” Chidi, I can’t make it tonight. I need to sort some issues in my family”
” Guy, you can settle it when we come back from this party. This party will be fun, I promise you”, he tried to convince me.
I quickly tappe.d the end button and switched off my phone.
First things, first! I had to quench this firee in my home before it consu.mes me. I won’t take chances anymore.
I walked into the bedroom……
