To make matters worse some women even go to length of telling Tare that his wife is cheating on him, and if not for the love and trust he has for his wife, he would have fell a thousand times to their lies.
"Hmmm, Tare your wife is cheating on you, can't u see how beautiful she is, other men do approach her, and she accepts .
Why does she keep late night? They would ask, see if u like yourself throw her out of your house oh.
