He has never stayed this late outside.. She went back to the bedroom, collected her phone and came back to the parlor, she dialed his number, it rang and ranged, and ended, she dialed again but there was no answer. At this hour, she wouldn't go out looking for him or call on one of his family members, she wouldn't go out without his consent. 11:40pm.. she sat on the couch, waiting, waiting for his arrival, wanting to ask questions on his arrival, wanting to know where he'd stayed, wanting to listen to his excuses. she dozed off!

She was woken by the heavy clatter of the main gate outside, she rose quickly and made for the door, opened it and watched his car drove all the way to the parking lot, she waited, eager,but he didn't come out quickly like he always do when he return from office. she stayed glued to the door, not intending to place a step further, she waited for him to come out of the car, but he didn't ,then he did after several minutes. He keyed the car and made for her, his steps wasn't steady, his legs were shaky and he looked flushed like some one beaten by a heavy rain, He looked like someone walking on a red hot charcoal. His gaze were on her, He greeted her, waited for her to led the way to the parlor, but she didn't, she looked at him, like he was a stranger.

Her voice trailed off, she was mad at him, why wouldn't she?,

His looks gave him away, he's hiding something she'd thought, not this early, their marriage was just 8months old, Nasir wunt start hanging around with side chicks.
"you what"
"i was in a meeting, and am sorry i stayed long "
" but you could have called and put me at ease"
"I'm sorry, it wunt happen again"
How easily of her to forgive him, she loved him so blindly that she wunt start suspecting him, but she was mad, and now she regained her cool. she turned and led the way into the parlor.
