Episode 45
I opened my mouth in surprise, ” even you.”
” Of course, what’s wrong with me?”
” But you are married.”
” Yea I am, but that’s only it, because the way I am now I’m just like someone who is not, my husband has resorted to drinking, smoking and all sort of nonsense. I have tolerated his sterility and now coupled with erectile dysfunction I haven’t had sex for over a year and a half now, I need love and you are the only person that could provide it.”
” Hmmm!!!” I grunted and it was clearly not the answer she wanted and seemed furious.
” Who is the girl that stopped the progress of Nancy?”
” Seriously you really wouldn’t want to know.”
” Why? I want to know.”
I shook my head and wouldn’t budge.
She lowered her tone and asked ” are you gay and is this girl we are talking about a guy? Because that’s the only thing that could disgust Nancy that much.”
” Oh no no no, I’m not gay.”
She seemed a little satisfied with the answer. ” Okay now that Nancy is out of the picture, what do you think of me?”
” I think it’s nothing, remember you are a married woman and I don’t like doing things with married women.”
She looked at me for a while and shook her head in pity or disdain.
” I don’t know what mould you came from, at least typical African guy would have grabbed the opportunities that had presented itself with both hands, but you are just different, funny a guy playing hard to get instead of the other way round. Okay if I could start a relationship with you, I would divorce my husband and I’m sure you wouldn’t have problem with a divorcee.”
I didn’t say anything.
” Okay fine I know it’s a lot to take in at the moment, so I’ll wait for your response soon and I want something positive.”
My heart was beating and I felt trapped, I began to feel Nancy’s pain as if it was a physical pain.
And with this woman also confessing her attraction and willingness to take a drastic step on my behalf I know it would be hard to curtail everything. But I know myself, I know that nothing would make me cheat on Rita.
She momentarily forgot where she was and pulled my head nearer and was about to kiss me and then remembered where she was and held herself. I turned around and could see the hateful stares the other teachers directed at her, but she didn’t care as she wasn’t a teacher and wasn’t doing it with a student.
I had to excuse myself and head to my office.
For the next three weeks, Rita and I didn’t get to meet with each other as she was quite busy with her examinations and I didn’t plan on disrupting her momentum. We saw each other in the examination hall.
