Episode 20

I broke down and wept like a child. I can hear Aram speaking. I guess he put the call on speaker but I did not care. Emotion wage at my throat, everything and everyone was against me. I know even God must be angry with me right now.

“Don…Don…is okay. It was a grave mistake not just from you but from everyone involve in this. You set the fire and your wife fan the coal even without knowing. Something worse could have happened to Abena or anyone else. Abena took the highest risk by making friends with your wife and coming into your home without any sign of remorse. But Don, you had the larger share. I still wonder what you were looking for in another woman. Bisi got it all for you Don. She was a good wife and caring mother who does not joke with her home. Think about the peace of mind when you are with your wife in bed and the guilt and troubled mind when you are with a strange woman… which will you prefer? I know you are only an imperfect human filled with mistakes, I also believe that everyone has learnt their lessons. Calm down Don, everything will be alright. Drive out to my place. I’m home with my family, do not panic and please drive carefully. Come over right now…I will be waiting for you.
I sat on the floor, sobbing for some time, before stepping out again.
I drove out that night to Aram’s place. He was at the door when I arrived.
He ushered me inside his sitting room, while patting my back and trying to calm me down.
Immediately I stepped into his parlor my wife and kids were seated right in Aram’s living room. My son was asleep. My daughter was sitting quietly beside her mother, I guess she was also feeling sleepy because the time was already 9pm. it was pass there bedtime.
