Days went by with giving in to Jide's demands and it affected her marriage and she couldn't do anything.
John: I saw your wife with a man two days ago
Olarotimi: don't start with this again,I told you she's not that type of woman.
Kayode:I saw her at my hotel a week ago with this man Jide Kosoko.
Olarotimi: she's not cheating on me
John:well it's evident from her behavior that she is,I have seen her many times with him.
Olarotimi: probably the wrong woman
Kayode: well it's easier and less painful to deny this wild truth than to accept it but if I were you,I would find out if it's true.
Olarotimi:no you are wrong.
****
Mercy:who is that guy I saw you with the other day.
Yetunde: he's a client.
Mercy:so client hugs this days?
Yetunde:what are you implying?
Mercy: I'm not implying anything, I'm just trying to protect you..
Yetunde: he's just a client really
Mercy :okay let's go.
****
That night
Olarotimi: I just want to know the truth Yetunde,do you know anyone named jide Kosoko
Yetunde:yes I do,he's a client at the bank.
Olarotimi:just client ?
Yetunde:yes just client by the way, do you know him?
Olarotimi: no I don't.
Yetunde:so why did you ask about him?
Olarotimi: it's nothing
Yetunde:okay (glad that he hasn't found out)
That night jide called her and she didn't pick up . After ringing two times, Olarotimi woke up then it rung again
Olarotimi: who's calling you this late (then he picked it).
Jide: hello Yetunde.
Olarotimi:sorry who is this.
Yetunde:what are you doing (collecting the phone from him and she hung up).
Olarotimi:who is he?
Yetunde:how would I know when you were the one who answered it.
Olarotimi:it was a male voice,is it jide?
Yetunde:why would he call me this late at night, go back to sleep Ola.
Olarotimi:if it's not him then who was that?
Yetunde:I don't know.
Olarotimi:he knows your name.
Yetunde:so?
Olarotimi:are you cheating on me (then she slapped him).
Yetunde:how dare you say that to me,do you think I would cheat on you.
Olarotimi: I'm sorry okay,I just wanted to know the truth.
Yetunde:the truth is no,no Olarotimi.
Olarotimi: thanks go to sleep it's late already.
Yetunde was lucky that night but after some days, Olarotimi found out and he was so upset with her that he felt so hurt and betrayed.
Olarotimi:how could she do this to me,how could she?
John: it's painful but the pain will fade away after some time so what would you do?
Olarotimi:I don't know I just want her to say it that she did and why ?
Kayode:well she's not going to confess,I have a plan.
Olarotimi:what kind of plan?
John:cheat on her.
Olarotimi: what!
John:yes,you cheat on her that will stop her from cheating on you.
Olarotimi: that's a terrible plan.
Kayode:so what will you do!
Olarotimi:I don't know.
Getting home that day, Olarotimi felt so hurt, angered and betrayed as he avoided talking to her.
Yetunde:can you give me two minutes of your time.
Olarotimi:what for?
Yetunde:I just wanted to...
Olarotimi:I don't want to hear it,you were right I shouldn't be a better husband when you don't want to be a better wife.
Yetunde: please just listen to me.
Olarotimi:I don't want to hear what it is you have to say, so please just get out of my sight.
Yetunde: don't ever talk to me that way.
Olarotimi: why can't I ?
Yetunde:you know what forget it, it's useless trying to get you to listen to me.
Olarotimi:yes it is.
Then he stood up and went to another room.
Waking up the next day to find out ,he was gone and he didn't tell her,made Yetunde sad ,she wanted to tell him the truth last night but he didn't listen.
Three days after,Grace told her something she wouldn't believe that her husband was with a woman at the business party and she had seen them together so many times.
Grace:do you think he's cheating on you?
Yetunde:no he wouldn't.
Grace:but it's good if you find out. What if he married her and she takes your place in his life,you would be a lonely woman.
Yetunde:stop it Grace, he's not cheating on me , I mean why would he? , It's not possible.
Grace: okay if you say so ,always remember that if he is ,I will always stand by you.
Yetunde: don't worry Grace, he's not having an affair and that woman is definitely not his type.
