He was traveling, finally, my husband was traveling after so many years. I was tickled pink because he was going on a fortnight business trip out of the country. I started planning on what to do while he was away. For Junior, I had nothing to worry about because, Nana Adwoa, the house help was there to attend to him and manage the home as well. I contemplated meeting Mr. Sahene Amponsah, my sugar daddy, in his house, a hotel or to make him come over. I finally arrived at a decision, I’ll make him come over since it’s more convenient here. But upon second thought, I realized that would raise suspicions., I really needed to do something.
I helped my husband to do the packing and bid him farewell.
Tony: Bye hun
Me: Bye hun, break a leg!
Freedoooooom! I exclaimed. Honestly, I was super excited because Mr. Sahene and I were finally going to have real sex after a long time. We’ve always had a quickie because I had to come back to my husband, attend to Junior, and do the normal mother and wife duties. I broke the good news to Mr. Sahene through a phone call.
Sahene: Wow! This is like the best news I’ve ever heard in my entire life. He exclaimed! So you have to be prepared because we are doing Netflix and chill till he’s back. I said that and we burst out laughing. I showered, got dressed and just when I was about stepping out of the house, my sugar daddy called;
Me: what? You are coming over?! but that would raise suspicions besides my house help is around, I don’t trust her, she might inform my husband. Why would your wife be stalking you?. Has she got nothing to do with her life? Wow, I can’t believe women like her still exist….!
Sahene: Don’t worry about that, I have cleared every trace of suspicion so we can have a good time in your husband’s absence.
Me: But…..( he hanged up with the excuse that he’s almost here). I knew I had to do something. I had to either prevent Sahene from coming or make sure Nana Adwoa and Junior are miles away from home so I can have my peace. I checked online and realized there a was 3-hour movie premiere that day. Fast forward I booked 2 tickets and made them leave two hours before time with the excuse that I needed to attend an important meeting. Sahene arrived ten minutes after they had left. I prepared him something, after we watched movies, got intimate and it went down. We had a 3-hour sex non stop and just when it got all fun, my husband appeared out of nowhere. He was numb with shock and stricken with revulsion at what he saw. His appearance knocked my socks off. For a moment, there was absolute silence in the room because we both wished we were dreaming. I could see the pain and choler in his eyes when we shared an eye lock. When I found my voice I rationalized and apologized for my actions, but my husband who was spleen left in a lightning-fast without uttering a word. I followed him out but he had already left the house. Sahene left as well. I called my husband’s line but to no avail. I kept brandishing in my room and thinking of what to do.
Will my husband divorce me? What am I going to tell my parents? What will Junior think of me? How am I going to handle the shame if we should divorce? What do I tell my sister who had constantly warned me over this man? I checked my phone and realized I had 7 missed calls in just 5 minutes. I tried calling back but the network was busy. The anon caller called back to inform me that my husband has been involved in an accident and has been taken to the ICU of Health First Clinic. Goodness! How do I narrate this to my husband’s family?…. What do I tell them? That my harebrained behavior and selfishness caused this?
I was filled with remorse as I drove to the hospital. I lost control and nearly had an accident when I mistakenly drove through a gathering since I was drenched in tears. Two ladies drove me out of my car. They started raining insults on me. If you want to die, make sure you die alone you dumbo! The first lady yelled in anger. They demanded an explanation and an apology. Just when I was about to speak, the second lady slapped me. The others joined her to beat me up, while I tried vehemently to free myself.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. I heard my name as well. It looked as if someone was calling me. Someone I knew. Wait! isn’t that my sister?
Sena: Afi, Afi, Afi wake up! You’ve been tossing and turning in bed for the past 45 minutes.
She kept starring at me as I lay awake reflecting on what had just happened. I realized I had been sweating profusely. So it was all a dream? I said.
Sena: I guess it was a very bad one then.
Me: A nightmare actually, I narrated everything to her.
Sena: Well maybe this is a warning from God for you to have a change of mind. I hope you don’t turn a deaf ear to this like you always do. A word to the wise is definitely enough.
Me: This time, I give up! But wait where’s my husband? Why are you here?
Sena: He’s displaying his cooking skills.
Afi: Why should my husband cook when I’m around? What has happened? Tell me…
Sena: Come on sis! It’s your birthday.
Me: This has got to be the worst birthday ever. I’m glad this is all a dream.
