IT HAS NO GENDER

CHAPTER 12

Christmas morning came with all it's festivities. Sandra and her husband had left the previous day to visit her in-laws. She already had everything mapped out. She helped the ladies in the kitchen as they prepared for the afternoon guests, she also helped at up the table for breakfast. After breakfast, she returned to the room she and Dare was given for the visit. Dare had returned too so she was very happy as her plan was still in order.
She opened her bag and brought out the pictures of four ladies and dropped them. Dare's smile immediately vanished. He was shocked and Sandra saw the look in his eyes before he recollected himself.
"Who are these people?" He asked coughing multiple times as though to get something off his throat.
"Really? I should be asking you, Dare who are these ladies?" She asked as she sat crossed leg on the bed. Dare dropped the comb he was using and faced her, packing the pictures which she dropped on the dressing table.
" I have no idea who they are, why are you asking?" Sandra was surprised at how he could lie with sincerity in his eyes, she didn't see this side of him before she married him and even after they got married, he wasn't like this. What happened to the man she loves.
"Dare I'll ask one last time, who are these ladies?" She was angry now, he thought she was a fool.
"I don't know wh-" his words were left hanging as Sandra brought out pictures of him with the ladies. There was no way he could lie his way out of the situation, he was kissing one of the ladies In some of the pictures, he couldn't think of anything to explain it. He had no choice than to say the first thing that came to mind.
"That's not me!" Sandra burst out laughing, a genuine laughter, that was the funniest lie she has ever heard. She wiped tears from her eyes when she stopped laughing.
"So what you are trying to say is that it isn't you? in all the pictures?" Dare shook his head to affirm.
" Wow! So this is the man I married?" She asked rhetorically.
"This is clearly photoshopped, when will I have time to meet other ladies, you have to believe me. I love you and will never cheat, someone is trying to separate us. You told me some months ago that someone was sending you pictures, I'm sure it's the same person. Please my love, believe me..." Dare kept professing his love for her, she zoned out as she didn't know if to cry or to laugh. The situation was utterly ridiculous and at the same time heartbreaking.
"Dare these photos were taken by me, this is the work you do every week, every Saturday, you spend all day with them to make up for the times you lost during the week and you have the guts to lie to my face? I'm so stupid to have believed your lies, you are a very shameless human being" she was tearing up and she hated it, she must be brave to continue.
" You have been following me, that means you have no trust for me, I am disappointed in you" Dare spat to her disbelief, she couldn't believe her ears, he was turning the whole thing.
"Wow Dare, that means you agree to cheating. Few minutes ago you denied the ladies and even yourself and now you agree" she felt nothing but detest for him as he sat opposite her.
"So? What if I have an affair, it's natural. What do you expect when you spent the first two years of our marriage in school. It is expected of me, I am a--" he was cut off
"I swear Dare if you complete that statement, your mother will open that door to your carcass. You're a what?! That's your excuse? I clearly told you I was not ready for marriage until I was done with my studies but you wanted to hurry things up. Dare please tell me, you are a what?! I bet you were going to say animal because that's what you are" Sandra was up now, she was furious. She was happy she was in the home of his parents, they would know the kind of child they raised. Someone was at the other side of the door listening to them, she heard the footsteps halt when she was asking about the ladies.
"You dare insult me?! So this is who you really are, very disrespectful with no regards for her home. You spent all your time in school and when you finally finished, you decided to start working. You had no time for your family, bad you call yourself a woman and a wife. I am disappointed in you, when I seek solace in the arms of another, you insult me?! You refused to have children since, when you finally got pregnant, you killed the baby with your bad luck. Only God knows what really happened to that child. Shame on you Sandra, you will not ruin my Christmas with your useless accusations".he picked up the comb and continued combing his hair. Sandra was too stunned to speak. She was ashamed of herself, out of every man who asked her out, she choose to love Dare.
"Wow! I have nothing to say to you, I am leaving. Enjoy your Christmas Dare" she said and picked up her bags which she was yet to unpack. She opened the door and saw his elder sister hurrying away, she smiled as she wiped the tears that spilled from her eyes.
