Chapter 3 - Bitter Sweet desire

Mrs Mubu was a housewife, she would always wait for her husband to come back from work and everytime he gets home he would find a hot meal prepared for him and some hot water to bath.

No matter how welcoming the wife would be, Mr Mubu would always try to find a way to sneak out of the house just to see his lover. One of his schemes was to always pretend he is working overnight. Hence, everyone in the house had to sleep early so that they do not disturb him. The moment he is sure that no one is awake, he walks out to his secret lover.

He instilled a lot of fear in his wife such that she could not ask him why he had to work for long hours in the night.

One night as as Mr Mubu was up on his late night work, the wife couldn't sleep and decided to stay up with the him as he was working. When she woke up, she went straight to the dining room where her husband loved to sit but to her surprise he was not there.

"where would this man be?"

she walked to the kitchen got a glass of water and walked back to the living room, she turned the TV on, since it was late in the night way past 1:00 a.m. the sound of a television set was loud that it would be heard in the next door.

"Is that a television?" he said. "who would be watching the television at this time of the night?" he stamped out of Temwani's house with his shirt in the hands.

Just to know who was watching the television, he peeped through the window and saw his wife in the living room and then he decided to use the kitchen door because he knew how to open it without keys as the handle was broken. He went straight to the toilet, flashed the toilet to make it evident he was in the house.

Mr Mubu pretended he did not hear the television, when he reached the living room door along the passage he looked at his wife, "you're up?" " yes, I couldn't sleep and I decided to come and join you so that I can keep you company as you work." "oh okay, that's so loving of you, but you know I don't like being disturbed when I'm working in the night."

" I know, don't worry I'll just be on my phone."

The wife gets busy on her phone as he walks back to the dining to finish working on nothing. Since he wasn't really working, he decides to carry his laptop walk straight to the living room to convince the wife to go and sleep.

"You must be tired, you are all sweaty." she said to him jokingly.

"Is that a compliment that I'm hard working? if so thanks." he responds with some level of humor.

"My love you had a long day I know but you have to back before you go to bed with me, I'm serious!" she walks with him and goes straight to the bedroom as he gets a bath.
