Episode 28

And that is how a strange woman took over my home, cooking for my husband and sleeping on my matrimonial bed. To make things worse is that Isaiah gave her right to insult me. One evening I was in the sitting room watching a movie when they both walked in. This so called Chi Chi girl asked me to stand up from my seat. I just stared at her, because there were other seats in the house yet she insisted on taking mine.

Me: Chi Chi there are empty seats in this parlour, please seat on any one of them.

Chi Chi: I saw them before I chose this one, so stand up I want to sit.

I took a look at my husband thinking and hoping he would say something. Of course he did say something.

Isaiah: you heard the lady, please stand up and let her sit, we want to watch a program.

And without arguing I stood up and went to the visitors room which had now become my new room.

Few minutes later I heard my husband calling out for me, and I went to him.

Isaiah: I want you to take this money, go to that shop opposite this house and get us cold drinks. My baby and I are very thirsty.

I took another look at Isaiah, I still couldnā€™t believe its the same man I married that was doing all of this. However I collected the money and I went out to buy the drinks for them. When I came back I gave them the drinks and went back into my new room.

The sound of their loud laughter did not even let me rest. Few minutes later I heard them m0an!ng and kissing. I had to press the pillow against my head. This was too much for me to bear. Isaiah was making love to that w—e on our matrimonial bed.

I picked a bag and i wanted to just pack my things and leave. But then I started remembering all that mummy told me on how to be a complete woman. I fell on my bed, picked up my Bible and started reading. I cried as I read through the book of psalms 24.
ā€Lord how theyā€™ve increased, that trouble me, many are those that rise up against me, many there be which say of my soul. There is no help for him in God, but thou oh Lord, art a shield for me, my glory. You lift my headā€

Me: (crying)/oh Lord enough of this pains, please lift my head. Lift my head from this pain, from this shame. Lift my head oh Lordā€¦..

I was still crying and praying when I heard him calling out my name. I quickly stood up. Wiped my tears and ran to him. They were both up from the bed and she was tieing my wrapper on her chest. This is a new wrapper that mummy bought for me and she was tieing it on. My husband was on boxers. I looked at them, and refused to let my tears fall before them.

Isaiah: Please dear, we messed up the sheets. Kindly pack them and wash it for us please. I want it dried up so that we can use it st night. Thank u so much.

He bent and gave me a kiss on my cheeks then held her on her waist and they both laughed out of the room. I turned and watched them walk away. I wanted to break down and cry, I wanted to end everything, I wanted to fall down. But I heard the small still voice telling me. ā€Be strongā€ I immediately turned and packed up the sheets and went into the bathroom to wash them.
