"what's wrong?" I ask him,
He was vexed.
"Talk to me please" I begged pulling him towards me but he refused,
"It is your husband"
"What has he done?"
"He has refused to continue his side of the deal"
"Don't worry I will speak to him"
He sighed, why was his uncle doing this, is it because of the baby, he finally got what he wanted, but won't pay even though he knew that he was still sleeping with his wife, he needed that money and his uncle would provide it.
The minute she left Khalid she ran home to meet her husband,
"My dear, you are home, nowadays you rarely come home anymore, I miss you" he said,
"Why haven't you paid Khalid"
"What?"
"Benjamin, you heard me" she said, he was shocked to hear her calling him like that, she had never done that, he was infuriated
"Is that why you wouldn't come home, why you barged in here and called me by my full name?"
"He deserves that money"
"For what exactly, for fucking my wife?"
She breathed in deeply,
"You were the one that came up with the deal, so why won't you continue"
"I have a son now"
"Ben this is not right, he is hurt by what you did, why now? Because you have a son? It is Injustice, do you know how much and how long it took to finally get a baby, at a point he thought he was not even fit and when you get the baby, you just decide to stop? Why didn't you tell him at the beginning that you wouldn't pay him anymore after the baby is born huh? It is not fair, not fair"
Ben looked away,
"He is taking you away from me, you protect him because you love him, you want him to keep fucking you" he replied sadly,
"Don't say that please, it is not like that" she pleaded, feeling bad for her mean words,
"You will get what you want, I will keep paying him" he said sadly wheeling himself out of the room,
She felt bad, for one person's happiness another has to be sad, she would apologize to her husband because without him, she would not have found Khalid.
**************
I picked up what I needed into the basket, I always shopped when I had anxiety or fear.
I was going to pay when someone pulled me into a corner, I thought I was getting kidnapped until I saw that it was Khalid,
"What?, Why did you do that"
He smiled,
"Did I scare you?"
"You did"
"I'm sorry, thank you"
"For what?"
"Talking to uncle Ben, he sent me money" he smiled,
Sadness overtook me again,
"You don't have to thank me", I say
"Are you alright?" He asked holding my hand
"Yes, so what are you shopping for?" I asked trying to distract him,
Panic showed in his eyes before he scratched his head nervously,
"Humm...." He didn't finish, when someone distracted him by wrapping her hand around his and smiling at me in a sickly way,
"Baby who is she" the woman asked looking lovingly at him, my heart stung,
"Uhmm, Sandra this is my uncle's wife Sylvia and he gestured to Sandra, this is my Fiancee" the girl stretched out her hand, grabbed mine shaking me aggressively,
"I think I have seen you before Sylvia, at that party that your husband threw, I remember discussing with my fiance and you took him away, you said his uncle needed him right" she asked still smiling,
"Uhmm I think I remember you, I answer swallowing the lump in my throat,
"It is nice finally meeting you"
"Yeah, I have to go" I say looking once at Khalid before walking away,
He is engaged, he did not see it fit to tell me, anger grew in my heart.
Sandra
I knew their relationship wasn't normal, he was so attached to her, he justified it by saying she was just his uncle's wife and that he was close to his uncle, but I knew he wasn't all that close, he was lying.
My suspection was confirmed when I saw the shock on her face, after I informed her that Khalid and I were engaged, the awkwardness after and she running away,
My confirmation happened when the next day, she called his phone, I was at his house and he just stepped out for some minutes,
The caller ID flower, I knew she was the one snatching my man, when I picked the call, I remained silent then she spoke, I recognized her voice,
"Hello, hello Khalid, why aren't you saying anything, hello, we need to talk, let's meet, hello" then she cut the line,
Anger bubbled inside me, She was the cause, the whore taking my man from me, I hate her, I hate her, she will pay for this, Khalid is mine, mine alone.
