HEREMAKONO ( AWAITING HAPPINESS )

Nnadia had called her husband over ten times but to no avail. After what seemed like hours, she heard the sound of his car. Few minutes later he entered the living room.

To her surprise, he passed right by her without sparing her a glance. She practically ran after him trying to ask about Mikes situation.
She came close and tried touching his arm when he roared.

"Don't even presume to touch me ever in your life".

Dumbfounded, she asked " But why?"

" Really?"

He asked turning to face her with anger evident in his voice. And the confusion on her face only infuriated him even more.

" Are you really going to pretend now? "

He asked coming even closer.

" Wow! You are such an amazing actress." He said. Clapping his hands.
" But let me ask, don't you have one iota of shame in you? What kind of a woman are you anyways? I always knew you never had any feelings for me but still didn't expect you to stoop this low. How could you Nnadia? You pushed your husband out of your room only to bring someone else in his place? Even if you don't have respect or love for me, you should have at least thought about your status as a married woman."

Tears trickled down her face for she was hurt beyond words. He turned to leave once more and she tried following.

" Oh God! She exclaimed. Abdullah please wait, it's, it's not what you are thinking at all. Please let..."

He shouted this time around silencing her.

" In the name of Allah please don't speak, i detest your voice. And your face, your face only brings me pain. I'm gladly going to give you your freedom so you can be with him. Just don't let me see your face till then."

Nnadia couldn't believe her eyes or ears. She has never seen him this angry before. He got it wrong. How could he even think she would ever give his place to someone like Mike?

Earlier today she had thought that they were finally going to be happy. At this moment with his bitter words still echoing in her ears, she really doubted it now.
