The betrayal

bang bang......

Chapter 21

Munangwas POV

Things have been going great since Chidzima and I got engaged, I just wanted to go on with the marriage so that my mother does not find out about the pregnancy.

I am nervous about becoming a mother and I'm not sure if I can handle the responsibilities that come with the process.

A week later from the time when we went house hunting, I had told Chidzima about the pregnancy of which he couldn't believe.

We did some tests at home and they all came out positive, when he still did not believe me we went to the doctor to get it confirmed again.

Chidzima is excited about becoming a father, we were never sure that we could ever have our own children as Chidzima's family had already said so we decided to try it out and see if really we would never have kids of our own and here we are, pregnant as ever.

Everything is going perfect except for that my hubby to be will not allow me do anything in the house, my mom is always inquisitive and shouting me, she calls me a lazy bum since Chidzima does everything in the house.

This recent adjustments might lead my mom to finding out the truth about the pregnancy, Chidzima is thinking about booking me into a hotel until the renovations in the house are done.

The house really gets dusty and cold and he just wants me out of this house and healthy.

"baby why don't I just go live in our new house until things are set here, I mean it's going to save us money as compared to me checking into a hotel for so long, and besides I would rather we invest the money in some of our furniture, don't you think?" I asked him.

"Of course my lovely smart wife to be, anything as long as you are healthy and no harm will come to my first born baby, I will drive you there tonight, let me leave now to go get the basics you will be needing" Chidzima replied.

"No love I cannot go tonight because mom will ask a lot of questions and we will not know what to tell her, how about we get the basics and I move in next week, that way we can tell her I'm living with Musuku as we plan and prepare for the wedding" I suggested.

"Well my angel we cannot keep this a secret from your mom forever, how about we just tell her, that way we will not need to lie and make up cover up stories, we are getting married anyway so it can't be that big of a deal right?" he asked, his question sounding more like a reassurance that everything would be okay.

"No ways, we are not telling her babe, do you know how she is going to freak out knowing I got pregnant before we got married, she might just even kill us" I responded.

We then left to a furniture shop to get beds, sofas, chairs, tables, pots, plates, utensils, cleaning material and a little grocery.

When we got to La mocha, the delivery truck was already there and the guys were already packing out, I went in to supervise how the furniture should be arranged, the packing went on for over four hours and by the time we were done it was about 8pm, I was tired and I just needed to go home and sleep.

Chidzima suggested that I nap for a little and we would leave as soon as he was done with setting up his home office, I couldn't refuse the offer seeing that my feet were swollen and I really needed to rest not to mention how hungry I was.

I napped for what felt like a short while until Chidzima woke me up, I could smell the divine aroma of the food which was coming from the dining room.

"here babe, I made this for you while you slept, I could tell you would be hungry considering how long we have been here, I made you spaghetti bolognaise, hope you going to love our first meal in our new house" he said while he handed me a bowl of the salivating food.

"Thanks love, it's as though you knew how hungry I am" I said beginning to twirl my fork and taking a big bite.

He sat at the bottom of the bed and began to massage my swollen feet, "I have already eaten baby, so it is okay, just relax and enjoy your food and massage okay".

After eating, I put the dish besides me and closed my eyes at Chidzima's hands working wonders on my feet, next thing I felt a warm body cuddle up behind me and two strong arms covered me, I was too tired to realize that we were actually not home but sleeping over in our new house.

I fell asleep and enjoyed the warmth that came from the body behind me, I moved further back just to ensure I was covered up in his cuddles then fell deeper into sleep.

The next morning when we woke up, I was surprised to find myself in a beautiful room, in bed alone with breakfast besides my bed, there was a note on the tray so I opened it: "morning sleepy head, I saw how you were sleeping so peacefully last night and decided that I wouldn't drive back home, I called mom and told her we wouldn't be coming back, I just left to work but I will be coming back around 12pm, the house is fully furnished and the decor is complete, enjoy your breakfast then you can give yourself a proper tour, please be careful of the stairs and should there be anything you would like to change, I left the decor's numbers next to the phone, do not attempt to do anything on your own. I repeat: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE OR CHANGE ANYTHING ON YOUR OWN! I wanted you to wake up to a complete home and not just a house, hope you like it. I love you".

I ate the delicious breakfast he had left me and then stepped into the shower for about 20mins just enjoying the warmth of the water on my skin, then stepped out and got dressed to tour our new house.

As I left our room, the walls in the passage already had beautiful pictures on them, some were pictures of Chidzima and I well placed and others were just different kinds of art.

Then when I walked down the stairs, I saw the dining room was beautiful and elegantly decorated, the TV and other appliances had arrived too and it all gelled up beautifully together.

The carpets were just magnificent, they felt comfortable on my bare feet and I could feel the warmth from the underground heated tiles, I fell in-love with the feel of the carpet and decided to just sit on it to enjoy its texture.

I soon stood up to go look at the kitchen only to notice that the exterior decor had been placed too, I must say our house looks perfect, it looks and feels expensive, like the kind of house I could have never imagined I would live in considering our not so rich background, I felt like a TV star in a movie.

I then decided I would call Musuku over to come see how lovely our house looked after furnishing.

In an hour's time she was pulling into my yard looking a mess, she rang the bell and I opened up for her, she smiled vaguely and then hugged me.

"OMG your house is beautiful, wow this is well placed" she said as she started to admire the great works of who-ever decor that did this amazing work in my house.

"Thank you, I must give it up to the decor that Chidzima got to do this for us" I said feeling grateful.

"Why are you guys even here, didn't we all agree we would only move in after the honey moon?" she asked as I explained to her about what actually happened.

We sat down and I offered her a drink after giving her a tour around the house, then all of a sudden there was a banging sound and Musuku was lying on the floor.

"OMG, Musuku are you okay?" I shook her as I tried to get her to talk and she was just lying there, I heard footsteps running from outside and I quickly pressed the security panic button.

The house locked and windows became bulletproof at once, I was in tears, trembling and trying to figure out what was going on, the again I heard a Bang.....................................................

So what are all the bangs? Could it be gunshots?
