I Cheated My Wife

Episode 21

I looked back at Aram wondering how he managed to bring my wife and kids to his house.

Aram’s wife came out of the room and greeted me, I responded quietly.

She looked at me like an unfaithful man before asking Bisi if she can take the kids inside to the children’s room but Bisi declined and said she will soon be leaving.

Aram’s wife looked at me again. I was cautious of her eyes. She must have heard what I did and feel disappointed. She may even tell her husband not to associate himself with me again.

It may be an innocent eyes but ever since I started having this guilt feeling, I read meaning to people’s reaction towards me.
She came to ask if she can offer me anything. Despite I was hungry and thirsty, I declined the offer.

Bisi angrily looked at me from head to toe. It was well expected.

I managed to dodge her bomb eyes by taking a seat beside Aram, who sat in between Bisi and I.

Aram later took me outside and as we relaxed by his car he began to speak

“I know you are probably wondering how I got your wife and kids to my place. Well, I needed to do what I have to do because I can’t watch your home get razed down. I just can’t sit and do nothing while your home get destroyed. After you called me from the hospital to inform me about what happened. I have to quickly drive down to your place. Bisi was packing her things, she said she wanted to take her kids to somewhere else because she doesn’t want to set eyes on you ever again. She said you actually took Abena to the hospital even after what happened. Bisi was lamenting angrily as she gathered her cloths into a box. Your wife said since you have decided to choose Abena over her and the kids she will do the needful by going somewhere else to cool off her head. She can’t live in the same house with you not after what you did. I have to talk to her and showed her how she also contributed to what happened. I told her how much battle you have been fighting to stay away from Abena and to also confess to her. Don, I just thanked God I arrived at the right time to still meet Bisi at home. I asked her to come over to my place with the kids and she can still leave after that if she feels the need to do so. I took her and the kids to my place. She was really angry and couldn’t stop talking all through the drive to my place even after we stepped into my house she was still raging.

At a point she broke down and started crying. She can’t still believe that you will hurt her the way you did. She wept bitterly both I and my wife were there to console her. I put each of your calls on a loudspeaker just for her to listen and see how sorry you are Don. She was calm enough before you came. I did not want to tell you at first that your family was with me, I wanted to see your reaction and to put your sober calls on speaker for Bisi to hear you. Give your wife time. She will eventually forgive. She is hurting right now and need time to heal up. Don’t rush her or force forgiveness down her throat. Love and care for her even more now than before. let her see through your action that you are truly sorry. Done, you have to be careful too. You started this whole thing….it was funny at first but not anymore. You have to make it right. My wife also spoke with Bisi. So relax, your wife will not leave you, I’m certain of that but if she ever want to, please inform me on time. It won’t be easy but everything will be alright.

I thanked Aram. I’m deeply in his debt.
