For the first time I am bored in my life and I dont know what to do , Rashad went out to God knows where . I decided to go and do some shopping becouse I can't just lock myself in the house all day , maybe have some lunch while out .
I see Masindi's husband approaching me while I was busy shopping.
" hey " He says while brushing his head
"Hi" I say with attitude
" can we talk "
" uhm Okey talk you five minutes starting now "
" Can you please not tell Masindi about what you saw that day " He says
"Oh if I wanted to tell her I would have done that the minute I saw you with that guy , even though I told Ntokozo but she said i shouldn't tell Masindi becouse it was your anniversary whatsoever or alse she will tell Rashad about me tying my tubes " I hold my mouth as those words slipped out of my mouth
" Thank you, I also won't tell your husband about your little secret " with that he walked out . Damn

Everyone left even my mother, she is still mad becouse off how I reacted to the news I hope she wasn't expecting me to just sit down and let my man take another wife . Am I not enough for him to even consider taking another wife , I mean I clean this house alone we don't have a maid , I cook for him ,I wash for him and take care of his kids .
It is true when they says man are dogs and ungrateful out there. I mean I was out here thinking that my man was different but than he proved me wrong I bet he had cheated on me before. My phone rings my mom is calling I watch it ring till she hungs up , but than she calls again almost immediately this time I answer.
Me : hello
Mom: You are going to agree that your husband takes another wife .
Me : no
Mom: I wasn't asking you I was telling you , now you will do as I say and stop this childish behavior , you also have to apologize to your in laws for your behavior. You can't go around embarrassing me like that or do you want to be useless like your sister nxx.
With that she hung up , this one thinks that she owns me .
