MY PERFECT MARRIAGE

Episode 2

Around midnight Petrina went to the kitchen and made herself a cup of tea. She was very emotional and she had been crying for two hours. She was leaving Chipata after staying there for two years and yet she still did not meet a man capable of marrying her.
All her friends were now with a significant spouses and she was still roaming around the same position in life, she met a lot of men In Chipata. Most of them who were on public service like herself with very well paying jobs but they all ended up being ordinary friends.. Although all this was hurting her, she had no choice but to go and face her life in Lusaka.

Meanwhile Kassy got tired of waiting for Ted so she decided to sleep. Around 3am Ted finally drove in . he went straight to shower then came to bed. Kassy did not want to start an argument right away so she continued sleeping as if she did not hear him.
It wasn’t long before he fell asleep when she got up and went to the bathroom. She searched the laundry basket for his clothes and yes she found them there. She quickly searched all the pockets but their was no single of evidence of what he had been up to .
Just as she was about to give up she saw a small receipt that had a room reservation… The receipt showed that a couple had checked into a hotel at 16:30hrs the previous day. Kassy was confused and wondered if Ted would ever change, although her body went into serious panic she kept calm and just decided to go back to the bedroom.
If they checked in at 16:hrs chances are that the named girl was still at the hotel, unless of course she was such a prostitute that he would wake her up at 3am to take her home. Kassy immediately knew she had to do what she had learnt to do so well through the years she lived with Ted.
She quickly changed, she wore all black. A black liquid legging with a black sleeveless top and black shades.

She drove straight to the hotel and was careful enough to pretend to be a guest. When she got to the hotel room she knocked on the door gently.

Who’s there? A voice answered..

Room service… She said.

I did not order anything… She responded without standing up to open.

Its a surprise from Mr. Ted madam.. Kassy said.

Oh my baby… He just never ceases to impress me.. the girl shouted with excitement as she opened the door.

The moment the door was unlocked Kassy pushed her back inside, then she entered and locked the door behind her.

You are the shameless prostitute that was with my husband all night?… Kassy said in an angry voice.

I am not a prostitute my name is Laila… The girl responded confidently.

Kassy immediately gave her a huge slap on her face. …

Laila fell to the ground and started screaming…
Shut up right now! Kassy ordered.

Laila what do you do for a living?.. Kassy asked..

Laila was still holding her painful cheek and did not respond.

I asked you a question! Kassy yelled as she got closer to Laila..

I’m a student.. I’m a student at Nipa… Laila said in tears.

Kassy the removed her shades.

Well I am a graduate from the university of Zambia and as you can see I have all it takes to make a great wife.. You see my husband has wandering eyes and quite often they wander on college girls but just for fun and then he comes back home to me his wife!.. He is my husband after all and I am the signatory to all his wealth..

So how long have you known him?.. How long!.. Kassy yelled.

Just 2 weeks madam… Laila said as she cried.

2 weeks and you are already gracing him in bed you slut!.. Kassy shouted before giving her another huge slap.

Laila covered her face and burst into tears

Now listen to me dear I have eyes and ears everywhere… The next time you are found even an inch near my husband it will not be good. Am sure you have been splashed with enough money to last you until you meet your next target.. So don’t you ever call my husband again… You hear me! Kassy yelled.

Laila nodded her head in fear.

Kassy wore her shades and immediately walked out.

Laila jumped up immediately and quickly had a shower then she called a taxi and went back to school.

When Kassy got home her husband was still sleeping.. It was around 5am just before 6hrs.
Kassy changed and tacked in next to Ted who soon woke up.

Good morning beautiful, I’m sorry I came in late last night. You see the guys and I had done some drinks then we ended up staying much longer.

Kassy just smiled at him without a word.

Come here honey… He said as he pulled her closer and they went into a steamy session.

Surprisingly every time Kassy and Ted made love it was never about what he did, to her he was the best husband in the world. She knew what she had signed up for anyway.

Honey I’m taking you for a week of fun in S. A.. He whispered.

Aww! Really honey?… I’ve missed South Africa especially the beach. She said with excitement.

Yes I’m going to work there for a week so I’m taking you with me my lovely wife.. He said

They enjoyed the morning cuddling as they planned out the trip to come.
Meanwhile in Nondes’ house it was all rosy, her husband was very loving and understanding, he always helped with the baby. However all this was as a result of the constant charms Nonde used on him. She had control of everything he owned. She decided when and how the money was spent in the house and Clive’s relatives usually had no say.

She was keeping a distant niece from her side who was 21years old who she mistreated terribly. She got her as a babysitter while she promised that she would also take her to school but the poor lady stayed with them for a year without being sent to school.

Bwalya wake up!.. Nonde yelled.
Must I always wake you up!..
I slept late aunty.. Bwalya said as she stretched herself.
Oh shut up!… Can you hurry and make porridge for the baby.. She yelled.
Friends of your age are up and working there you are yawning and yet you do not even have a decent qualification to your name.
Bwalya woke and started making porridge, she opened the door and the gate for the maid to come in.
Wash those clothes for my husband and make sure they are spotless clean… Nonde said after throwing the clothes at Bwalya.

That afternoon the ladies met again for the rehearsals. Philip just dropped Patience and he rushed out promising to be back shortly.
Philip rushed to the bridal shop and found Tisa, she looked very beautiful.

Hi, sorry I almost didn’t recognise you.. He said
Oh ya yesterday I was tired and sloppy.. She giggled

Philip laughed along.. OK so is my suit ready? He asked.

Oh yeah! The suit. Yes of course the suit is ready ..she said.

She quickly walked away and gave him her back as she walked.

She was finely shaped and her dress fitted so so well, when she walked it’s like everything jiggled.

Philip quickly cleared his mind and looked the other way.

Tisa appeared with the suit in a zipped bag.

Sir you can check it before you go.. She said.

Philip opened the bag and confirmed then he thanked her with a K100 note as a tip.

Oh thank you sir but i do not get money from strangers.. She said

Tisa was excited inside to get the money but she knew too well how to get a mans attention.

Are you sure?… Its just my appreciation for being so kind. Philip said.

No thank you sir. Go well…. she added.

Oh OK.. If you say so.. See you.. He said.

See you?.. She asked.

Philip was confused and was saying things he didn’t know. She had something about her that confused him.

Oh sorry dear I meant goodbye. He said.

Maybe you are having a bachelor’s party.. She said with a smile.

Oh that.. No but well my friends will obviously do something for me…

OK send me an invite if you do have one.. I got to get back to work.. So see you then.. She said with a smile.

Philip walked out with an unknown smile on his face, he dropped the suit home and went to the rehearsals.

He quickly called His best friend aside who also his best man.

When he finished narrating the story Sam burst into laughter.

So let me get this straight Philip, you are asking us to go ahead with this bachelors party which you clearly told us you did not want in the first place because of a girl?

No man its because you were right all along and I apologise. You were very right. I need a send off party

Tbc…

Can you figure out what is going on here?
