MY PERFECT MARRIAGE
EPISODE 2
When kassy got home after the rehearsals she went straight to prepare a delicious meal for her husband and then she quickly showered and dressed provocatively as she waited for him on the couch..
It was almost impossible for her husband to come early on Saturdays as he liked to club with friends, however she always did her best to be ready for him.
She was getting irritated as she looked at the time, the food was slowly starting to get cold. She decided to call him but his phone went unanswered, she was so sad that she made this effort and he was still not available to appreciate it.
She had miscarried twice but this was still not changing her husband, instead of spending more time home so they could work on their marriage, he preferred to go out with the guys. To the outside world their marriage was perfect and very successful. That is the price she had to pay for wanting to be with Ted despite all the signs he showed her in their courtship. His fame and popularity was something she could not deny herself. He had the looks, the money and also the brains. She just had to swallow all the scandals that happened in their courtship until they walked down the aisle. He really did spoil her with the finest things in life.
Nonde on the other hand did not go home after the rehearsals, she rushed to see an old lady that helped her bring sanity into her marriage. You could say she was very superstitious and she left nothing to chance…
Her husband Clive was engaged to another woman when she grabbed him away, she made every effort possible to make Clive love her and yes he eventually did.. Well for as long as she continued putting love portion in his food and she was also practicing the bathing technique of applying certain fetish liquids on her body. Clive’s ex fiancée had gone into serious depression after their breakup. Nonde on the other hand would care less as she was already pregnant before the wedding making it easy for her to capture Clive.

Patience was tired and she immediately fell asleep when she got home. She was woken up after midnight by the woman her mother hired to run her through the marriage process in traditional way.
She was irritated and called her mother aside who was chatting with her other aunties in the next room.
“Mum I told you that this is against my belief as a Christian, I can’t start learning all that evil stuff you have planned out for me…” she said.
“Patience my daughter this is important for you, I do understand the route you and your husband want to take in your Christian faith but marriage is marriage honey. You will need these things.”. her mother said.
No mum I said no the first time but you still went ahead and arranged another woman for me..” she said.
“But she is a Christian baby…”
“I don’t care mum.. Christ is the keeper of marriages all that stuff is not necessary. What of white people how do they live for years?.” Patience replied angrily.
“Every human being belongs to a certain culture, this is your culture and unfortunately you can’t shun away from that..”
“Well I don’t think so mum…” she responded rudely.
“Mum I am going back there and I will tell her what I don’t want and what I want… you don’t get it mum. Philip and I love each other, we don’t need all these unnecessary things. Especially the chezela. I don’t want all that demonic stuff!” She yelled.
“Ok you win.. I’m tired of having these debates with you.” her mother said.
She quickly rushed to her room and called Philip,
“honey can you imagine mum was telling me about that evil stuff again?”
“Relax honey, I love you…x he said.
“I love you too my Mr. Mena.. she replied.

Around midnight Petrina went to the kitchen and made herself a cup of tea. She was very emotional and she had been crying for two hours. She was leaving Chipata after staying there for two years and yet she still did not meet a man capable of marrying her.
All her friends were now with a significant spouses and she was still roaming around the same position in life, she met a lot of men In Chipata. Most of them who were on public service like herself with very well paying jobs but they all ended up being ordinary friends.. Although all this was hurting her, she had no choice but to go and face her life in Lusaka.
Meanwhile Kassy got tired of waiting for Ted so she decided to sleep. Around 3am Ted finally drove in . he went straight to shower then came to bed. Kassy did not want to start an argument right away so she continued sleeping as if she did not hear him.
It wasn’t long before he fell asleep when she got up and went to the bathroom. She searched the laundry basket for his clothes and yes she found them there. She quickly searched all the pockets but their was no single of evidence of what he had been up to .
Just as she was about to give up she saw a small receipt that had a room reservation… The receipt showed that a couple had checked into a hotel at 16:30hrs the previous day. Kassy was confused and wondered if Ted would ever change, although her body went into serious panic she kept calm and just decided to go back to the bedroom.
If they checked in at 16:hrs chances are that the named girl was still at the hotel, unless of course she was such a prostitute that he would wake her up at 3am to take her home. Kassy immediately knew she had to do what she had learnt to do so well through the years she lived with Ted.
She quickly changed, she wore all black. A black liquid legging with a black sleeveless top and black shades.
She drove straight to the hotel and was careful enough to pretend to be a guest. When she got to the hotel room she knocked on the door gently.
“Who’s there?” A voice answered..
“Room service…” She said.
“I did not order anything…” She responded without standing up to open.
“Its a surprise from Mr. Ted madam..” Kassy said.
“Oh my baby… He just never ceases to impress me..” the girl shouted with excitement as she opened the door.
The moment the door was unlocked Kassy pushed her back inside, then she entered and locked the door behind her.
“You are the shameless prostitute that was with my husband all night?…” Kassy said in an angry voice.
“I am not a prostitute my name is Laila…” The girl responded confidently.
Kassy immediately gave her a huge slap on her face. … Laila fell to the ground and started screaming…
“Shut up right now!” Kassy ordered.
“Laila, what do you do for a living?..” Kassy asked..
Laila was still holding her painful cheek and did not respond.
“I asked you a question! Kassy yelled as she got closer to Laila..
“I’m a student.. I’m a student at Nipa…” Laila said in tears.
Kassy removed her shades.
“Well I am a graduate from the university of Zambia and as you can see I have all it takes to make a great wife.. You see my husband has wandering eyes and quite often they wander on college girls but just for fun and then he comes back home to me his wife!.. He is my husband after all and I am the signatory to all his wealth..
So how long have you known him?.. How long!..” Kassy yelled.
“Just 2 weeks madam…” Laila said as she cried.
“2 weeks and you are already gracing him in bed you s–t!..” Kassy shouted before giving her another huge slap.
Laila covered her face and burst into tears
“Now listen to me dear I have eyes and ears everywhere… The next time you are found even an inch near my husband it will not be good. Am sure you have been splashed with enough money to last you until you meet your next target.. So don’t you ever call my husband again… You hear me!” Kassy yelled.
Laila nodded her head in fear.
Kassy wore her shades and immediately walked out.
Laila jumped up immediately and quickly had a shower then she called a taxi and went back to school.
When Kassy got home her husband was still sleeping.. It was around 5am just before 6hrs.
Kassy changed and tacked in next to Ted who soon woke up.
“Good morning beautiful, I’m sorry I came in late last night. You see the guys and I had done some drinks then we ended up staying much longer.”
Kassy just smiled at him without a word.
“Come here honey…” He said as he pulled her closer and they went into a steamy session.
Surprisingly every time Kassy and Ted made love it was never about what he did, to her he was the best husband in the world. She knew what she had signed up for anyway.
“Honey I’m taking you for a week of fun in S. A.”. He whispered.
“Aww! Really honey?… I’ve missed South Africa especially the beach.” She said with excitement.
“Yes I’m going to work there for a week so I’m taking you with me my lovely wife..” He said.
They enjoyed the morning cuddling as they planned out the trip to come.
Meanwhile in Nondes’ house it was all rosy, her husband was very loving and understanding, he always helped with the baby. However all this was as a result of the constant charms Nonde used on him. She had control of everything he owned. She decided when and how the money was spent in the house and Clive’s relatives usually had no say.
She was keeping a distant niece from her side who was 21years old who she mistreated terribly. She got her as a babysitter while she promised that she would also take her to school but the poor lady stayed with them for a year without being sent to school.
“Bwalya wake up!..” Nonde yelled.
“Must I always wake you up!..”
“I slept late aunty..” Bwalya said as she stretched herself.
“Oh shut up!… Can you hurry and make porridge for the baby..” She yelled.
“Friends of your age are up and working there you are yawning and yet you do not even have a decent qualification to your name.”
Bwalya woke and started making porridge, she opened the door and the gate for the maid to come in.
“Wash those clothes for my husband and make sure they are spotless clean…” Nonde said after throwing the clothes at Bwalya.
That afternoon the ladies met again for the rehearsals. Philip just dropped Patience and he rushed out promising to be back shortly.
Philip rushed to the bridal shop and found Tisa, she looked very beautiful.
“Hi, sorry I almost didn’t recognise you..” He said
“Oh ya yesterday I was tired and sloppy..” She giggled
Philip laughed along.. “OK so is my suit ready?” He asked.
“Oh yeah! The suit. Yes of course the suit is ready ..” she said.
She quickly walked away and gave him her back as she walked.
She was finely shaped and her dress fitted so so well, when she walked it’s like everything jiggled. Philip quickly cleared his mind and looked the other way.
Tisa appeared with the suit in a zipped bag.
“Sir you can check it before you go..” She said.
Philip opened the bag and confirmed then he thanked her with a K100 note as a tip.
“Oh thank you sir but i do not get money from strangers..” She said
Tisa was excited inside to get the money but she knew too well how to get a mans attention.
“Are you sure?… Its just my appreciation for being so kind.” Philip said.
“No thank you sir. Go well….” she added.
“Oh OK.. If you say so.. See you..” He said.
“See you?..” She asked.
Philip was confused and was saying things he didn’t know. She had something about her that confused him.
“Oh sorry dear I meant goodbye.” He said.
“Maybe you are having a bachelor’s party..” She said with a smile.
“Oh that.. No but well my friends will obviously do something for me…”
“OK send me an invitation if you do have one.. I got to get back to work.. So see you then..” She said with a smile.
Philip walked out with an unknown smile on his face, he dropped the suit home and went to the rehearsals.
He quickly called His best friend aside who also his best man.
When he finished narrating the story Sam burst into laughter.
“So let me get this straight Philip, you are asking us to go ahead with this bachelors party which you clearly told us you did not want in the first place because of a girl?”
“No man its because you were right all along and I apologise. You were very right. I need a send off party”
