STORY TIME!!!

EPISODE 13
Sunday finally arrived with Nnamdi’s family coming
over for lunch. My wife was overly happy and delighted
with their presence while i hid my fear with a calm
smile which never left my face all through that Sunday
afternoon.
Of course the two ladies had a lot to gossip, while Mr
Nnamdi and i contributed little to their discussion. My
heart was so heavy with worry and fear, freezing each
moment Mrs Nnamdi opened her mouth to start a new
topic. Fortunately nobody noticed my tensed up mood,
nor did the woman mention anything concerning her
discovery to my wife. She didn’t even tell her that she
ran into me a couple of days back, and i really for very
grateful for that. I seriously never knew she could be
so matured as to skip such dangerous information,
something i knew even men will find hard to keep from
their friend. Yea supposing i was the person that ran
into Mrs Nnamdi in such a compromising situation, i
really would find it hard keeping it to myself.
However as they got ready to leave two hours later.
Nnamdi dragged me to a quiet section of my house.
The look on his face instantly grew serious as he
stared at me.
“my wife told me something, i found hard to believe. Is
it true she saw at a restaurant having a romantic time
with another woman?” he asked seriously. I swallowed
hard, unable to figure out a good reply.
“i understand how tough it is marrying very early in
life. But that shouldn’t be the reason for you to go
astray. You have a wonderful woman by your side. Her
family is very rich and influential just like yours. Don’t
ruin your kids future. As a married man you now have
responsibilities and commitments. Anyway the best
advice is the one you can give yourself. Don’t hurt
your wife” he summarized and tapped my shoulder,
while i stared at him speechlessly.
“my wife won’t breathe any word about it to your wife,
because i told her not to. But please let her silence be
worth it” he concluded seriously.
“thank you bro” was all i was finally able to mutter,
and it was the only word I was able to say to him for
such a huge favour of stopping his wife from bringing
up the topic before my wife…….
I couldn’t help but imagine my wife’s reaction
supposing the news got to her. Luckily it never
happened and our visitors soon left carrying the heavy
secret with them.
To be continued shortly.
