Chapter 1

Cassy.

I drove away from them with my heart beating fast, i had taken a lot of
courage for me to leave without saying a word to them.i parked close to the
coffee shop and closed my eyes for a while trying to get hold of myself , I was
taken back to the day I left the coffee shop feeling broken. Pazvinhu zvese I
could not believe that what she had said was correct ,not Tyney wangu. I
remembered driving home and going straight into my bedroom ,my whole
whole was shaking I couldn't breath properly so I threw myself on the
bed,grabbed a pillow ndikazvivhara kumeso kwekanguva even the bed was
betraying me because I could smell her there, because of the two nights we
had spend together,I could see her everywhere ndaizeza kuvhura maziso
nekuti ndaiona all the place we had made love the previous nights ,ndakatora
phone and began going through the photos angu na Whitney, for the first time
in my life I actually shed a tear for a woman.she hurt me.

Whitney broke me when I had fallen deep in love with her .I got up from the
bed and began pacing up at down I could not have waited for her to tell me

2|Page
more of her bad news I could no allow her to break me more , thinking about
the last time she had asked me if I had dated a married woman, damnit it all
made sense now .i was the fool in the relationship ,but it did not suit Whitney
to do something like that .

Ndakaedza kubatanidza Whitney and the sudden character yakaora kudaro

zvikandirambira but ndaimurambira sei when she had told me ega that she
was married.worse married to my employee I began seeing pictures of Stern
touching her , touching Tyney, I broke the glass that I was holding nehasha, I
groaned in pain I wanted to take out my heart and let it heal.

The way she kissed me is the way she kissed him , the way I made her moan is
the way she he made her moan that hurt more that anything I found myself
punching the wall. "Tyney you can't do this to me .. babie you can't . " I found
myself speaking to myself but she wasn't there to answer for herself and
mhinduro dzake ndaitodzitya nekuti dzaitogona kundirwadza zvakanyanyisa
...

I wanted to call her sister but I kept hesitating and ndaifunga kuti ndotogona
kutaura zvakashata stereki, I had met her, she smiled at me kutondidaidza
kuti bamnini achiziva kuti kuna bamnini kare, kana kuti maybe aireva kuti
ndanga ndiri bamnini va bamnini Stern.

Surely the love of money was the route to all evil, surely women were evil
creatures anokuponda nerudo but asina basa newe just to get what she wants
from you. Kuti Tyney wangu screamed my name when I made her come,
stupid me, even the thought of that, I could feel myself getting hard , Tyney
had a nasty effect on me and I was beginning to hate her . I could not

3|Page
understand how a man could let his woman be with someone else just for
money , ndakatanga kufunga how it had been so easy and fast for Stern to get
me a woman.

Zvakaoma sure I had trusted him since I thought we were close , and it's not
like ndaisagona kunyenga but for once I just needed someone different,
already known by someone , good character and all, I was tired of meeting the
wrong women ndikati rega shamwari inditsvagire, "lol." I laughed at myself
ndikazvivhunza kuti, "ko ndanga ndichamutumirei kunditsvagira babie."

Saka ndosaka anga asingade kubva Kuwadzana nhai nekuti ndokwanga kuina
daddy, I was just a side dude nhai. Ndanga ndiri hure ra Tyney. I went out of
my bedroom ndokubva ndaenda to my bar and grabbed strong whiskey and
drank surely I drank a lot because I wanted to forget but I could not forget
nomatter how much I drank.... I asked the maid to clean up my room they
were glasses all over and I remained seated at the bar side of the house until I
knocked out... Ndakazopeputswa na maid achiti avakuenda and that was
already in the evening..

"Kwatodoka?"I asked shocked.i reached for the curtain and opened it , surely
kwanga kwadoka,so i told her to leave...

"Are you okay sir?"

"I'm not okay I'm Caston,bloody hell what question." Ndakaridza tsamwa
ndikasimuka and went to my room where I showered and changed my clothes
ndokubva ndatobuda..I need to drive,just drive and refresh a little bit.i drove
straight to the coffee shop hamheno sei.ndakangoramba ndakatarisapo for a
while not sure what I was doing there .
4|Page
A thought came into my mind kuti ko sei Tyney azondiudza chokwadi?why did
she cry Soo much kana kuti hoo anga aakuda kuramba murume akati rega
ndingoenda hangu kune ane mari kare ,ndakanzwa hasha , honestly as if it
wasn't enough she still wanted to carry on lying and pretending that she loved
me otoda kuramba achindimora , ndakasimudza mota ndokubva ndadhuma
munhu ndisina kumuona, "shit." I said jumping out of the car ndokubva
ndaenda kumberi kwemota and found a lady on the ground ..

"I'm soooo sorry I was careless,are you hurt ?"

" My leg hurts ,what were you thinking?"

" I'm sorry I was Soo absent minded I didn't even notice that you were in front
of the car."

" Then don't drive when your mind is unstable."

" I'm sorry."

I picked her up and put her in my car and drove her to the doctor.i hit my head
for being Soo careless .

" Is it really sore?" I asked her.

"Obviously .

"I'm sorry." I said again trying to make the situation better.

" Can you please stop saying you are sorry ,it's not getting rid of the pain at all.

"Hey look .I'm just trying to be nice I will keep my mouth shut ."

5|Page
She was already beginning to annoy me so I kept quiet and drove her to the
doctor and got her treated..I waited for her then again I had to drive her home
fortunately she stayed in borrowdale ,on the way home that's when she began
talking nicely .

" Look I'm sorry I was getting mad at you earlier." She said looking out the
window.

" Well I guess I deserved it ."

She smiled and said ."I'm Natalie by the way ."

" Caston."

" Nice to meet you in a sick way ."

" Sick huh."

"Lol." She laughed ..."you wanted to murder me."

"Once again I apologise for that,it wasn't my intention."

So we began talking all the way to her house..I left her by the gate nekuti I
could see she was able to walk ega....

"I'm sorry I can't get in,I don't wanna be killed by your husband for knocking
you down."

She laughed...." I wish I had a husband but anyway thanks."

"Incase there's more bills needed to be paid ,there's my card." I gave her then
she looked at me shocked .

6|Page
"Ah come on Caston.....it's you.?"

I just laughed and drove off......I went straight home and slept ...Anyway I was
brought back to reality by Rudo who knocked on my window then I opened it .

" Sir what have you parked here?"

" There is someone I'm waiting for, go back to work."

" Lol if course sir I'm waiting for Whitney."

" Oh ok."

I closed my window and started my car they began moving.i saw Whitney still
doing like she was arguing na Stern but I was bothered about their couple
fights I was bothered by loving her still but there is a certain hatred that was
growing in me .I hated being the fool so anyway I drove to the main branch
and called in my P.A....

"Sir you keep going out zvisina appointment ko hanzii?"

I laughed .." iwe you are not my wife usandishupe."

"I should surely find you a wife ."

Ndakaramba ndakamutarisa ndikazviseka I could already see ndichipihwa

another man's wife ,Aiwa I would rather die alone zve .

" Ndikwanire anyway I need a background check on someone ."

" Who?"

" Stern the driver....."

7|Page
" Your supposed to be friend ?"

" Yes that one."

" Kwaitikei?you hardly ever do that."

" I have my reasons."

He just smiled and then he left my office.i leaned back on chair and closed my
eyes ,ndaida kunyatsoziva what was happening ,the more I had no info ,the
more I was getting Soo pissed off.

After Cassy left all I wanted was to go back to work or just go home chete but
Stern anga asiri kutomboda kana kundisiya apa for me hangu ndakatowedzera
stress because he had never seen stern and I together and apa zvakabva zvaita
kunge muyedzo , kana kuti Stern anga abva nekupi I had no idea. I failed to
concentrate kana nezvaitaurwa na Stern zvacho I ended up saying.... " Eho

" Saka unouya kumba mangwana?"He said ndokubva ndavhunduka ... "What
kuuya kumba ? "

"Ehe babie anditi ndozvandiri kuedza kutaura wati ehe. "

" Stern lemme get back to work totaura pa foni . " Ndanga ndaakutofamba
kuda kuenda then he held my hand.."babie you can't leave like that ."

9|Page
"Mira Stern, do you really think kuti things will work out between us after all
that has happened here nhai ?"

" We have never had this kind of challenge before Whitney and I know that
this is just to make us stronger ,ndiribenzi handirambe babie and ndiri
kubvuma it's not even like before paye when I threatened and blackmailed
you nezvinhu zvisina basa but Soo much has happened maybe hwana hudiki
maybe kufarisa kutadza kufunga chaiko but don't i deserve a second chance
babie?"

"its not just about you anymore Stern it's about me as well there is things I
can't forget."

" Things like what?" Kana iri nyaya yekukumanikidza kudanana na Cassy I'm
sorry I won't do it again we will find a way yekuti usiyane naye ."

If only he knew kuti ndanga ndakatorambwa zviri official na Cassy wacho and
the way he had looked me ndakatoona kuti munhu haasisina basa neni and it
hurt Soo much even worse i could not stop thinking about what had happened
between us and the whole time I had spent with him ndakatanga kunzwa
misodzi ichiwungana ,then I looked at my husband again ,I knew he deserved
a second chance but ndaisada kutaura nezvazvo kuvapo kwake kwaitoita
ndiite confusion nditadze kufunga mushe...

Luckily Rudo akabva asvika ndokubva ndawana excuse yekuti ndibve paari
ndisati ndataura zvisirizvo..

" I have to go lunch yangu yapera ."

10 | P a g e
" Ndokufonera,please answer my phone ,ukasadaira ndoramba ndichiuya
kunoku."

" Watanga yeblackmail yandisirikuda ."

" Sorry babie it sounded like blackmail but urikuda ndiite sei ,I said that
because ndirikuda udaire macalls angu ."

" Ndakuenda." I said ndaakutofamba."

" Ndinokuda babie."

I didn't know what to say and at the same time I did not want to encourage
him...."Whitney shaa ." I walked fast ndokubva ndaenda pana Rudo.she smiled
at me zviya zvekuda nyaya and I could see anga atomirira kuda kunzwa
nyaya..

" Ndiudze kani iwe..." Akabva andidhuma dhuma neside rake zviya zvekuti iwe
taura kani.i just said, "mmmhhhmmm," then kept quiet .

" Is that your husband?" Ndakambomuona before havanyanye kuuya kuno but
I saw him once doing deliveries na Fidzo and Fidzo ndiye wandinonyanya
kuziva ...

" He is my friend chete ." Ndakangorotomokawo zvandaifungawo ipapo ,and I

was done telling people about my life waiswera wataurwa nepasiripo.and
besides tanga tisati tanyatsozivana kana kunyatsowirirana zvekusvika
pakuudzana ma secret..

"Asi I friend inokuda kani? Nekuti friend yako kamutarisiro kacho kaanga
achikuita ndekekuti uri munhu wangu."

11 | P a g e
" Pane munhu ane munhu here?hapana munhu ane munhu but vanhu
vamongozvipa vanhu ." She laughed out loud ndokubva andirova bendekete
zvairwadza apa I didn't know why she enjoyed that soo much yet I hated it ...

"Shaaa munhu waunodanana naye ndiye munhu wako." She said achindirova
futi bendekete.

"And then someone else anenge achitotiwo my person to my person

ayas."ndakabva ndaridza tsamwa ..

"Ah Whitney what's going on ko chii nhai,you seem to be soo touchy over this
subject ko chii nhai?"akabva amira pamberi pangu ndokubva ndamudarika
and said. "Andisi ini ndiri kungotaura hangu,ma facts."

" Saka you are saying there is no real love out there?"

"even if it's there well it's just there for a few people but the rest of us will
suffer till we die ,we are there to just have a taste of it tonyemudzwa then
zvovharana and we go back to our old lives."

" Are you speaking with reference to you kana kuti just people in general?" I
could see her curious face maybe the way yandanga ndaakutaurawo nayo
yanga yaakundimakisa and surely i was becoming too emotional where I was
supposed to just explain a simple thing.

"In general iwe Rudo ..anyaway are you married ?"

" Yes."

"are you happy ?"

12 | P a g e
" Well Soo far Soo good andizozive kumberi ."

"what will be the one thing that would make you leave your husband?"

"Lol what a question...well If he happens to fall out of love with me then there
will be nothing left for me in his life handiti kuti tiroorane in the first place
was because of love ."

"Good answer but what if you fall out of love with your husband,what will you
do."

" Haa iwayo ndiwo ma1 manje,,if I fall out of love with him it will be hard for
me to leave ndinotopihwa label yehure so I will be forced to stay married to
him even ndisisamude but if he falls out of love with me azvina pressure too
much zvinongonzi murume wake akawana mumwe."

Ndakaramba ndakamutarisa...." So bottom line is if everything about your life

is controlled by someone...your husband?

"When you are married unfortunately it's all about hubby."

I shook my head then I decided to go to my office ,ndakazvivharira ndokubva

ndambovhara maziso ndichizvivhunza kuti was Rudo right? If she was then
life yacho was worthless zve ,kuraramira mumwe munhu was like life
imprisonment and kwandiri manje even if I was to stay na Stern I had to be
honest about my feelings for Cassy and I had no idea how he would take it
zvaitopa stress,I wasn't even sure if I wanted him back my heart was with
Cassy.

13 | P a g e
I took my phone and looked at it ndichiti maybe somehow Cassy had texted
me but there was nothing, I needed Laura ,at least she could comfort
me....ndaifunga kahobho kuti ndomufonera here ndakazongoti hazviuraye
kumufonera...

"Little one ." She said achidaira call yangu.

" Haa mobva mandiita mwaana mudiki kudaro here ?"

" Lol sorry how are you ."

" Ndakarambwa Laura and I ain't doing well."

" Wakamuudza chokwadi ?"

" Ehe ndakamuudza."

"How's is he?"

Ndakamboda kuseka nekubatikana kuti mwana wamai vangu aitovhunza kuti

Cassy arisei instead of me .

"He's not taking it well ,he is ignoring me apa Stern ndopaari kuuya full force
hanzi let's fix things ."

" Haa tight saka iwewe wafunga kuita sei?"

" I need space Laura i can't go back to stern when I know I slept with Cassy
hazvibude."

I heard her sigh then she said ..." The choice is yours ndiwe unoziva vanhu
vako nezvinokuitira ndiwe unozviziva..of course your husband deserves a

14 | P a g e
second chance at the same time if you are not happy with him, there's no point
in sticking around it means that you will be tempted to cheat on him
uchitsvaga Cassy,if you want Cassy then give him time to clear his head
musiye ,make a decision based of what your heart wants not what people
want for for you,it's your life."

"I saw him today and andiona ndiina Stern."

"Mmm zvinhu zvacho zvakaoma how will he give you time yekuti mutaure
kana achikuona na Stern ?"

" You are making me feel worse Laura I called you kuti undiite zvirinani."

" I'm sorry I just can't lie to you kana uchida Cassy ukaramba uchionekwa uina
stern unenge waakutomuwedzera hasha be careful...

" Thanks Laura .

" I will come and see you mangwana ."

" Ok ." I said then I hung up.pasina nguva a message came ndokubva ndaona a
transfer of money worth 200 us in my phone and after that pakapinda
message from cassy zvikanzi...."I hope its enough for the nights you spent with
me andidi kusara nezvikwereti zvevakadzi vevanhu ndinozopinzwa busy
nevarume vavo,don't worry hako this ain't your pay kana usina kukwana
ndiudze..."

My whole body yakatanga kudedera nehasha , Cassy had just treated me like a
bitch did he really think I slept with him because ndaida Mari ,ndakarwidziwa

Chapter 3

Cassy....

I walked into my bedroom and threw myself on the bed and waited to see
what she would do.hamheno I felt like ndiri honye yadya zvemahara and I
owed her.suddenly my bedroom annoyed me ndokubva ndasimuka ndikabuda
and went to the guest bedroom ndokubva ndarara ikoko...just as expected
Whitney's message came in saying..

" Do I look like a bitch to you?"

Ndakaramba ndakaitarisa message yacho ndichingoramba ndichidzokorora as

if I had no idea what it meant and then I began asking myself kuti was she a
bitch to me?how was I supposed to answer that? because if I was to look at it
from a sensible point of view I would call her a bitch...but still that word too
much and too strong for me to refer to her as one and again if she was to be
named bitch whose bitch was she ? Mine or Stern? Ndakapotsa ndarovera

17 | P a g e
phone pasi but I loved my phone and nyangwe ndifarise I would rather break
something else and just not my phone ...

I wanted to respond to that message but my fingers were just too weak to type
ndakabva ndasiyana nazvo and after a few minutes pakabva papinda message
another message yake returning the money.i sighed feeling annoyed then
ndakasimudza phone and told myself kuti kana airamba it means I sent it to
the wrong person rega ndibhadhare muridzi wemukadzi.. I transferred the
money to Stern and in a few minutes he called me..

" Sir you sent me money ,ndeyei yese iyi."

Ndakambonyarara not sure what to say ndookubva ndati..."it's just a token of

appreciation and I thought you needed it more than me, anyway ingoishandisa
kuchengeta mukadzi wako hupenyu hwakaoma handidi kuti uzotsvaga
vamwe varume kuti vakuchengetere.

" You have no idea how much I needed money."

" Hoo money for what?"

" Haa pane zvandakatadzira mukadzi zvirikuda kunoripwa ."

Hamheno i just got curious because I knew it had to do with Whitney..."

Wakamuitei mukadzi ."

" Hazvitaurike it's even embarrassing."

" Saka iwewe unogona kutaura kuti urikuda Mari but haugone kutaura kuti
urikuda Mari yei?"

18 | P a g e
" I will soon tell you but thank you Soo much I greatly appreciate it."

" Ko Whitney arikupi ndoda kumuona?"

He went silent for a while ..." Ko wanyarara? ndati Whitney arikupi?"

" Ooh sorry pane munhu wandanga ndaona anyway Whitney arikumba
kwamama vake for a few days asi haana kukuudzai here."

" Haana kundiudza arikuitei ikoko?"

" Hapana kungovaonawo hake havasi kunzwa mushe ."

" Hoo saka anogarirei newe kuwadzana instead of staying kwamama vake
kwacho.?"

" Haa hanti you know Ana mama vangori very strict saka here and there she
also needs her freedom....

" Is it? anyway cool..." I hung up ndokubva ndaseka hangu so he really thought
he could play me for a fool. Ndakasimuka and went to the kitchen ndainzwa
nzara I hadn't eaten properly in days... The maid, Shingy ,had cooked ndanga
ndaakumuti ingobika then wongosiya ndinozoona zvekuita ndega. I warmed
up food ndokubva ndagara pasi to eat , ndakangodya a few tablespoons e
spaghetti ndokubva ndasiya ndaakunzwa kusviba moyo..... Ndakaridza
tsamwa ndichisimuka going to the bar side and poured a shot..

Annoyed with the sound of my phone ringing I just pressed and said
urikudei?"

" Ah ndaitasei nhai Caston."

19 | P a g e
" And who is this that knows my name."

" Did I call at a wrong time ?"

" Did you call to ask me questions or you have something that you want from
me.? "I was really feeling irritated and worse hearing a female voice i had
almost jumped thinking kuti ndi Tyney wangu but no I had no clue who it was
and worse she was annoying me by not getting straight to the point ..I heard
her a sighing....."it's Natalia ." She finally said and I wanted to say Soo what but
I held back..

"Natalia from where ?" I asked

"The one you accidentally almost ran over how can you forget Soo easily?"

"did we sign a contract that I was supposed to remember you!"

"I surely called at a wrong time ."

"And what are you going to do about it ?"

" I'm going to hang up and call someother time ."

" Please do ."

She hung up ndokubva ndakandira phone kure and carried on enjoying my

brandy until I got waisted. I remember getting up and going straight to the
guest room then i threw myself on the bed..."Tyney." I found myself calling her
name countless times but I could not even call her, she was married ,how was
I to call a married woman when it was soo against my principles..

20 | P a g e
I began wondering what stern had done ,or goodness the bastard had cheated
on her.i was taken back to the day when she was talking about stern cheating
on his wife, "damnit," I said getting up from where I was sleeping and then sat
on the bed ndakafambisa ruoko searching for my phone until I found it, ndaida
angondipindura one muvhunzo chete so I called her....

When I heard her voice I almost melted, I loved her....I went silent and she said
.."Cassy I'm here."

What the hell did that mean...was she there for me as my woman kana kuti she
was there for me as Stern's wife..

" Tyney?"

"Cassy."

"Tell me?"

" Yes."

"Did you sleep with me because he cheated on you and you wanted revenge?"

"No."

I hung up the call as soon as she said that.well obviously she wouldn't tell me
the truth ,obviously she would just say what I wanted to hear ndakabva
ndarara ndakadaro and because of the alcohol it didnt take long for me to fall
asleep.i was awoken by the closing of the door ndokubva ndatarisa kuti
ndione kuti ndiani and found noone so I figured kuti ndi Shingy anga auya
kuzocleaner ndakabva ndamuka then I went to my room kunogeza.

21 | P a g e
Ndichipedzawo kupfeka ndakadaidza Shingy kuti auye ...she stood by the door
ndofunga kutya kupinda here hamheno ndakazongoti .."pinda handirume."

"Good morning ."

" Morning, hona ka .I need you to shift my clothes and everything else to the
guest room ,leave all these heavy things I just want my clothes and other little
things anditi ?"

" Okay sir ...you didn't eat last night ko chii?"

" Wakatanga riini getting worried if I ate or not."

" You are not yourself ."

" Shingy ."

" Sir."

" Stay in your lane and I will stay in mine."

" I'm sorry ...aakabva abuda ndokubva ndagara pa couch ndakaita kuizembera
asking myself if it was obvious that I was hurting.i needed to pick myself up
and forget about Tyney ...by force ... I began getting ready for work ndanga
ndatononoka futi ndaida kuzoenda kushamwa masikati.Ndakadarika
ndichinhonga Apple mu kitchen ndookutobuda nekuenda...ndainzwa
kusvotwa nemota yandaishandisa ndina Tyney so I went and changed the car
to a white one yandaisanyanya kushandisa ,hanzi when you wanna forget
about someone unotanga firstly getting rid of the things that reminds you of
that person and I was beginning to do just that.i got to work ndakamirirwa na
Roger akabva atotanga kufamba achiuya kwandiri aona ndichiparker mota ..

22 | P a g e
" Sir why is your phone off ?"

" Is it off?"

" That's what I said ."

I took it out and noticed it was actually off...apa yairamba kubaka yanga isina
kana Moto mushoma zvawo ndakabva ndaipa kuna Roger ndikati wona
zvekuita.

" By the way pane zviri kuitika pamunhu wenyu wamaida nditarise."

" Mmm shoot."

" Vanhu Ava varikuburitsa merchandise."

I stopped walking, then I said.." I'm listening."

"Varikutengesa pa black market."

"I see."..I began walking getting into the building ndokubva ndafamba kuenda
ku office ." Should he be fired ?"

" No ." Instead I will be his anonymous buyer ."

" Excuse me sir why would you do that ?"

"I have my reasons...apa wati he is selling pa black market but wamuona here
red handed?"

" No."

" I don't have to explain further...how far na Terry ?"

23 | P a g e
" Laptops are coming in today hanzi arikuuya nawo ega ."

" It's fine."

Akabva abuda then I leaned back on my chair ndokubva ndaturika makumbo

on the table and closed my eyes..so it was not just the lies.he was stealing from
me futi...I wasn't going to fire him but I had better plans for my friend ...

I struggled to sleep after his call ndaive ndakamutsamwira hangu but

kungonzwa kuti ndafonerwa naye zvakangondiita kuti my heart ive less
burdened asi ndaive ndakamutsamwira still kuti he treated me like a whore...
Even after the call ndaizvivhunza kuti ari kundiona saani chaizvo.
Ndakambomuka ndikagara thinking about him ,I wished I had a photo of him
but ndanga ndisina kana one I began being sleepless then I saw Natty online,
from the day we had met hamheno we just clicked kana kuti maybe
ndakamufarira nekuti she gave me a listening ear hamheno but she was nice
to me.

I needed someone to talk to and her being a stranger in my life made it easier
for me to talk to her..."you are still awake ?" I asked her kunge ndisiri kuziva
kuti munhu akamuka ,it's like calling munhu na 3am ndovhunza kuti wakarara
here. Anyway akabva aseka and said...

" Ehe ndakamuka what's wrong?"

" Hiii did it report that I needed someone to talk to?"

"Lol sorry ... You hardly talk that much unotaura kana waakuchema chete . "
25 | P a g e
" Making fun of me moyo wako wakaoma. "

" Sorry kani hesi urisei?"

" I can't sleep. "

" You are lonely kana kuti? "

" He called me Natty shaa. He didn't say much he just asked me a question and
then he hung up.

" Well that's progress right ?"

" I donno anyway urikuitei I don't wanna talk about me I wanna talk about
you hausati wandiudza all about you ."

" What's there to tell?" Akabva aseka hake achiisa tuma emojis
twekunyatsoseka ndakabva ndatanga kusekawo then I said.."I know nothing
about your life sha handitokuzive yet you know all about my pain."

"I told you I was married once but now divorced ndinozviraramira life yangu
bho zvekuti ndisina kutsvagana nezvakawanda ,that's what I keep trying to
tell you Whitney life does not revolve around men yes we need them for
sexual pleasures here and there but we do not need men ,fanika ini zvangu

that day has sha noo.."

" You seem to be stronger than I am."

" I'm sorry about what you went through." I began relating to her story and
her husband surely seemed like Stern if I had not been married to Stern for 2
years I would have thought kuti maybe Stern was her husband then...anyway
ndakazokata phone ndokubva ndarara hangu I could see ndaisava ndega

Cassy...

When Terry came ndaiva ndakavarairwa deep in my thoughts trying to figure

out things kuti Stern aindifungira chii , I could not understand how a man
could do such a thing kana mudiro wacho wemari to the point of making his
woman date someone else all in the name of money, ndakafunga
ndikapererwa, nomatter how much I tried getting some sense into it I failed. I
kept picturing Whitney in my head she couldn't be that woman anyway
ndakazongoti zvinonzi don't judge a book by its cover I probably had thought
she was all that good asiri hake...

Ndakavhunduka ne knock ndikabva ndabvisa makumbo from the table

ndikazvigadzirisa then I said, "come on."

"Caston my man ." I smiled and then I got up to greet him , he was smartly
dressed,i offered him a seat.

33 | P a g e
" Kuchena kudai hanzii?" He laughed then he said,"my wife my guy ndiye
anondisarudzira hembe ndakarara hangu nemanhede ndakatsamira maoko
ese ndichimirira kunzi daddy zvaita. " He chucked and I joined him..

"at least food for you I'm very unlucky with love."

"Usadaro shaa azvina kukufita with all the money that you have unoita kuti
ndifeele bad. " I laughed ," kuti ndiwe wandipa munyama here nhai Terry? "

"Aiwaka kuti isu vasina Mari hobho stereki tine vakadzi vacho chaivo. "

" Wakaoma and hauna tsitsi neni, let me lose all I have maybe ndingaite
lucky,but haa kunyangwe vasina chinhu vacho ma1"

" Haa a good woman will love you regardless of what you have anyway
ndaunza zvinhu zvako you need to test them."

"Ukandipa zvidhuura unenge wangondibhaiza hako ko ndingadii? "

Laughing together .. takabuda then we went pareception where he left the

staff ndopandakavaudza to distribute the laptops to the people I wanted
ndokubva tazofamba tichiona kuti ese ari right here...satisfied nawo ,we went
back to arrange kuti tiende tese ku borrowdale..

" Saka iyi ndeyamainini vangu here?"

" Mainini vako?" I was puzzled .

" Whitney, she told me kuti shes working for you ku borrowdale. "

Ndakanzwa kurova kwehana nekungonzwa Zita rake." Riini iyeye uye kupi? "

34 | P a g e
" Kumba kwamama vake ku Marimba I saw her on mother's day."

Moyo wangu wakabva wasviba ,that was the last day we had had fun together
and kuzvifunga kwakatondibhowa zvokuti.ndakazongodaira zvekuti
zvindibve...."hoo ndimainini vako Inga it's a small world."

"Good munhu manje ." He said smiling

"Munhu anoziikanwa hugood here nhai munhu wese ane ma hidden secret
behaviors ekuti ukazomaziva unonyara kana kuvhunduka nawo."

"Not mainini vangu shaa ,kungowanawo zvavo murume asinganzwisisike but

Ivo good munhu,I heard kuti he works here ku headquarters varipiko bamnini
vangu."

" What's his name?" Ndakavhunzira Dara then he said, " Stern."

"Stern my driver?"

" Should be him unless kana Paine mumwe stern anoshanda in another
department."

" There's only one Stern mira udaidzirwe ungovaona hako two minutes..

We sat by the couch by the reception then I asked musikana wepo to call Stern
for me and pasina nguva Stern anga auya but the look on his eyes yakaratidza
kuvhunduka kusingaite and that was the look that I actually wanted to
see.slowy walking towards us akanyatsotora nguva yake seaisada kana kuuya
,in his mind he probably thought kuti ndaudzwa zvese Kare na Terry saka
handina kuda kumuratidza ndaida azvidye moyo ega...he only smiled when
Terry greeted him.

35 | P a g e
" Bamnini ndakutsikaika pabasa penyu nhasi."

He forced a smile and said."ko murisei eh ndavhunduka kukuonai ,ko imi

hamuoneke ka tikatokuonai tinotovhunduka , mamukasei boss?"

" Hesi Stern kurisei kumba nemukadzi wako."

" Haaa kudaro daro ."

" Mainini vakazobva here kumarimba ." Terry asked ndokubva Stern akasika
kuchinja nyaya.

" Eh varikumba saka pano murikuiteiko bamkuru?"

"Doing business with my friend ,ishamwari yangu kubva kuchioro."

" Nyika idiki ndazviona ,it's good to see you mationa tava kutobuda kuenda
Kuma deliveries ."

" Iribho bamnini mumhorese maininii heard kune nyaya kumba?"

" Tozotaura mumhorese maiguru"

Akabva atomhanya kuenda Terry ndookusara achiseka zvikanzi." Munhu

anodhomoka uyu if only you didn't know mainini vangu I would tell you the
story but haa maya...

" Ko ndoopandichaita Seiko ndikaziva hubenzi wake...akamboseka zvekuseka

zviya ndokubva azondiudza kuti ,"ndakanzwa kuti akatengesa
mukadzi,"ndakatomboita kakusagadzikana thinking kuti he knew kuti I was
the other guy but he had no idea anga asina kuudzwa all the information and I
also wondered kuti howcome nyaya iyoyo yanga tatofamba

36 | P a g e
kudaro,ndakasekera mumoyo saka Mari yaaida yaiva yekuripa Whitney
manje? Nemari yandakamupira kurara na Whitney?I shook my head unable to
believe...

" Iwe ndiudze,how long have they been married?"

" Haa 2 years manje."

Ndakabva ndaakufunga achinditi ndirikumhanyira mwana kumba,I wondered

kuti aive waani ,I didn't know which words of hers to believe anymore and
there's was no harm in asking Terry.

" Nyaya yacho yakaona saka vane vana here?"

" No Havana ava muchinda akaisa mukadzi pamafamily planning ."

" Hezvo hooo .saka iwewe ndibamnini pakai."

" I'm married to the sister zve ,ane sister inonzi Laura that's my wife.."

Ndakatombopererwa...I had met Laura and I heard no idea she was my

friend's wife.ndakaramba ndakanyarara nekutotadza kutaura chaiko and
handina kuda kumuudza kuti I knew his wife aizoti makazivirana kupi so I
remained silent ndokuzoti."zvakaoma." Takasimuka then we went to
borrowdale and I was very uneasy ,her presents made me uncomfortable
zvakanyanya and patakasvika ndakambotenderera tenderera ndokubva
ndazosiya Terry achibatsirana nevamwe Pama laptops,I walked slowly to her
office ..I could have asked someone else to give her but she was pulling me like
magnet ,ndakamira pa door rake deciding to go in or not..ndakazvishingisa
then I knocked she took a bit long to answer so I opened the door ndokubva

37 | P a g e
tadhumana she lost balance and fell into my arms and I almost dropped the
laptop..

I got lost looking at her ,I wanted to do lots of things to her takaramba

takatarisana mumaziso and my eyes went to her lips I had the strong edge to
kiss her but ndakazvishingisa and cleared my throat ndokubva ndamusiya.

" I'm sorry ." She said then she stood looking at me...ndakaba ndagara pasi
then she went to sit on her chair as well takabva tashaya nyaya .

" I brought your laptop." I was able to say at least that ndokubva ndatosimuka
kuti ndiyende..."Cassy." she said then I stopped walking ,she came and stood in
front of me and said,"I'm sorry."

" For what ."

" For hurting you,for lying and every other bad thing."

" Whitney wakandiita bharanzi and I keep asking myself everyday kuti
ndakanyanya kukutadzira chii but I can't put my finger on it ."

" Ndini ndakakutadzira I let my husband influence me."

"hooo iwewe wanga usingade?"

" Ndaisada."

" Asi wakabvuma ka waisada papi nekuti you agreed dai waisada wairamba."

" He manipulated me because I loved him."

38 | P a g e
Ndakamboda kuseka." Munhu asingade will stand their ground kuti
andisikuda kuitiswa so what kind of woman are you anobvuma kunzi hura?
Whitney uri hure here iwewe?" Ndanga ndaakumunzwira hasha...

" I was in love Caston and besides you were not even supposed to touch me ,I
agreed on that condition that you wouldn't touch me ,before you Caston only
Stern knew me but when you and i got close patakaenda kukadoma things
changed I had never thought about another man besides my husband but you
made me crazy, the way you touched me in kadoma the way my body and soul
wanted you was more than I ever wanted Stern,I tried hard fighting with
myself that's why I would ignore you sometimes ,I wanted to keep my own
promise that I wouldn't let you touch me again and what had happened in
kadoma was a mistake

" Stop Whitney stop." I didn't wanna hear it.

" I don't wanna stop Cassy ,I fell for you it was no part on the plan ,I began
wanting you ,every time we kissed I kept falling and when you touched me my
body wanted you more and more,I craved you everyday and when we finally
made love my whole body

" Damnit Whitney I said shut up.." she was telling me the wrong things ,the
things that made me want her ,I pushed her on the wall nehasha ,I wanted to
kiss her badly my hands were already on her body shaking ,I touched her and
she moaned ...that moan...that moan that I loved Soo much reminded me that
she was married,I let her go then I banged the door and left feeling pissed off.

Whitney

He walked away when my body had just become weak,in seconds ndakanzwa
kumerera and his cologne had filled up the room and in my heart I didn't want
him to go because it really hurt me watching him leave ,I took a few minutes to
get myself composed maoko ake ndakanga ndichiri kumanzwa, just that
moment yaangaa andibata I was failing to get the feeling off my body thats
how bad it was ,I needed to think about something else believe me ndakazama
but I failed,ndakangofara kuti at least he had let me speak even for just those
few minutes it was still okay nyangwe aizondiramba aindiramba hake asi
ndamuudza my own side of the story..

Drowning in my sorrow and almost in tears i was disturbed by a knock,I could

have been happy if it had been Cassy but I was surprised to see bamkuru
Terry , he smiled at me but inini wacho my tears anga agara achida kubuda
akabva abuda vachibva vati. "Ko mainini whats wrong ndakuitasei
zvamachema nekungondiona?"

41 | P a g e
"It's not you , I'm really sorry. " I said with my voice breaking then he took out
his hank and gave it to me. I wiped my tears then he said. "Come here."
Ndakaenda pavari then he hugged me ndokubva vazondisiya ndokubva
ndagara pasi feeling embarrassed that ndaonekwa ndichichema and obviously
the next thing he wanted to know was the reason I was crying and iniwo I
could not tell him.

" Chii mainini?" Ndakabva ndatarisa pasi then I said."just a bit stressed
bamkuru but ndoita right."

" Is it because of bamnini here mainini?if it's that it can be fixed ndavaona
nhasi kubasa kwavo."

" Haa it's a lot bamkuru but don't worry ndichaita bho hangu."

" I'm sorry about what he did to you ?"

" Were you also told about what I did to him.' ndakaseka hangu kunge
zvainakidza .

" Lol that you are In love with the guy wekwamakatengeswa?"

"Lol ehe."

" Ehe izvozvo ndakazvinzwa kuti hanzi it's his omg mainini...." I just smiled
ndokubva ndabata phone yangu and pretended scrolling through it nekuti
ndaishaya chekutamba nacho." Moziva I'm Soo stupid andizive how come I
failed to figure it out, Stern's boss is my friend Caston oh goodness this is ....oh
noooo...haaa ndakapusa sure,so it's Caston?"vakavhura maziso
zvekushamisika..
42 | P a g e
" Unfortunately ." I answered

"When your sister told me I didn't pay much attention ,only now zvaakumaker
sense, ko all along I just thought kuti hamheno vamwe boss nekuti
zvakangonzi boss vake ndikati Inga zvakaoma.....I'm Soo sorry."

Iyo yekunzi sorry ndiyo yandanga ndisingade it was as if I was being told kuti
things will never be okay between Cassy and I ,I knew they were chances ekuti
he was never going to forgive me but I didn't want to think about them.

" I will be okay ." I said and then he reached for my hand..." It's unfortunate
that you are married but you had found yourself an amazing guy mainini ,it's
really unfortunate."

" Bamkuru kani nhai."

"Gadzirisai nyaya dzenyu mainini and decide, handizive how deep you guys
had gone but kana murume maakusada be honest ,Caston akabhowekana ane
chiramwa chakanyanya, iyoyo igaroziva kubva kare anoramwa saka if he still
loves you you will have to find your way back to his heart, but Akaoma Caston,
ndataura naye about bamnini and you iye kutonyepedzera kunge hapana
zvaanotomboziva."

" Ko imimi bamkuru manga maakuitawo makuhwa sei ?"

" Kwanga kuri kutaura kweboys kungotaura pachirune ."

Ndakanzwa mudumbu nekuti I had no idea kuti vanga vataura zvingani

,kusvika papi, ndakaita sendicharewinder time then I would call him and tell
him kuti musataure zvisizvo Kuna Caston..
43 | P a g e
" Mataura kuti chii nhai Bamkuru haa ma1."

" Well at least say thank you nekuti I told him kuti muri munhu Ari right
zvokuti."

I really wanted to know all that he had said but vaiita kundinonokera."and
then what nhai bamukuru taurai fast."

He laughed and said." He wanted to know how long you guys have been
married and if you have any kids,saka ndangomuudza zvandinoziva kuti
ndizvo zviripo."

I didn't see any harm because if he had allowed me to carry on talking I would
have told him every single thing about me.

" Kana mapedza nyaya na bamnini tozotaura mainini for now hatina
zvatingataure..anyway you need to check your laptop and see if its working
perfectly,ndimi mawana the nicest laptop haa munodiwa."

" Bamkuru please"

Vakabva vaona kuti I didn't want to hear more so anyway we checked the
laptop tese and it was working perfectly havana kuda kuzogara vakangobva
vatowoneka kuti vaakuyenda.i got up to take him half way ,ndakabuda navo
then took him to the car....

" Chiuyai mundipe hug yangu tione ndaakuenda."

44 | P a g e
I smiled shyly then I went to hug him ,ndichiri pekupihwa hug Cassy came
walking towards us apa akaramba akanditarisa zvekuti I felt like ndaita
something wrong then bamkuru let go of me..

" If you need anything let me know handiti mainini." Ndakamboda kuseka ,
there's nothing I needed from him but anyway I just said thanks and turned
going back to the office.Cassy walked straight to his car ndokubva bamkuru
Terry vaenda kunotaura naye ,ndanga ndisisade Kumuona ndakabva
ndafambisa going back in...

I struggled working ,i spent most of my time playing with lap top kusvika time
dzekuenda kumba dzakwana.i obviously knew kuti I would be going alone
ndakangonanga kumacombi nekutokwira kuenda kumba...Laura had
promised that she would pass by the house so I called to confirm if she was
still coming zvikanzi ehe.

" Usabhaizeka .' I said unsure if she would actually come nekuti we knew kuti
Terry aisada wifey wake kuti afambe fambe,worse nenhumbu yake hanzi,
mukadzi wangu anozozvarira muroad..

" Ndirikuuya mhani Terry will pick me up manheru."

" Speaking of him he was kubasa kwangu masikati."

" Wapihwa laptop yako here?"

" Ehe ndapihwa."

" Yakanaka yacho ka ?" She said laughing ndobva ndamukatira phone I knew
Aida kutondiseka .anyway ndakasvika kumba tete vadzoka kumba,I wondered
45 | P a g e
kuti ko chii but Hana yakatorova because I knew it probably had to do with
Stern...nyaya dzacho dzese dzaingondiitisa mudumbu.

" Makadii henyu tete?" I greeted her ndokubva ndagara pasi?"

" Eh hesi mainini kubasa kurisei?"

" Kuti right mauya nguvai?"

" Aaah ndauya manheru ano ,ndauyaka nenyaya yako yakanaka chose."

" Yakanaka?"ndakamboseka then said "taurai ndiinzwe nyaya yacho tete."

"Bamnini vakafona nezuro tikataura kwenguva saka Ivo vati vachiri kukudai
zvakanyanya and varikuda udzoke kumba and he's willing to do anything kuti
mudzoke ."

" Hoo ndozvaakataura?"

" Ko zvaunenge usiri kufara nhaiwe Whitney,sure murume ati he is willing to

do anything apa iwewe wakangouna una as if pataurwa zvakashata ita mushe
."

She had no idea kuti ndaifungei nezva Stern seriously ,ndakangosungawo

kumeso and said." Saka just because he's willing to do whatever it takes
zvaakureva kuti it's ok to go back to him?"

" Murume akati sorry iwe unobva wabvuma kwete kuita seusina
kumbotadza."

46 | P a g e
I could not believe my ears." Saka murikuti ndodzokera ndinomirira the next
thing in his agenda obva auya kuzoripa futi?"

" Every woman out there has her own issues with her husband and zvakaitika
zvakadhakwa hongu but he deserves a second chance ,just like you deserve a
second chance ,hapana mutsvene pasi pano shamwari and don't think you will
find a perfect man ,iro rombe rako raunoziva nehurombe hwaro gadzirisa
iroro riite right ,Stern anoda kuiswa mumuforo chete kwete kuda
kuvhiringika naiye Caston,kana achikutarisa zvino anoona hure raida kudya
Mari yake ,he will never trust you ndo type yevarume vekuti two minutes he
will be checking kuti uri kuitei ,kumba kunaani nekuti wakaratidza kuva
loose."

The words she said akandiita kuti nditadze kutaura anything,yes I knew
Caston was angry but did he hate me that much?

"Tete it's not about Cassy."

" Ibva ,wachiva mari waakuda kukanganisa marriage yako neruchiva kwedu
hakuna nzenza.."

Chapter 7

Whitney.....

I had no idea kana kuti zvekuchiva Mari zvaitaurwa vanga vazviwanepi it was
not even about the money it was about how Cassy made me feel, I didn't care
about what he had ndaingonzwa kuda iye chete and it was not as if iye Cassy
wacho still wanted me ndaida kuti vangondinzwisisawo without judging me
not because ndakavaudza kuti i was in love with me.

" It's not about the money tete andina basa nemari yake ini."

" Obviously it's about money nekuti that's the difference between Cassy
wacho na Stern , otherwise zvimwe zvese vakafanana. "

" Havana kufanana. " Ndakabva ndanyara because I began thinking about the
things that made them different saka ndakabva ndasimuka and decided to go
to the spare kunosiya bag rangu and ndaitoda kutiza tete, zvavanga vaakuda
kuti nditaure zvanga zvaakusaita futi..

48 | P a g e
Ndakakanda bag Hana yangu ichirova I didn't like zvanga zvaakuitwa zvacho

ndaishuvira kuti dai mama vari padhuze ndanga ndanzwa kuti vambobuda

" Sis Laura hie."

" Urisei ko wakahwanda muno? "

" Kupiko haasi kuda kunzwa zvandiri kutaura uyu dambudziko vana
vemazuva ano believe kuti munoziva stereki there's nowhere you can ever
find a perfect man especially vane Mari vari worse ,vanodiwa nevakadzi
vakawanda you will forever cry nemunhu wako iyeye. " Vakabva vagara
paside neni chaipo ...

Laura smiled hake ndokubva aita kutambarara pasi, "iye arikuti arikuda aniko
nhai tete."

" Hanzi haasi kuda kudzokera kwa Stern achiva Mari ya Cassy ko kaana iri
yehurombwa vana vemazuva ano Havana matyira Ava vakadzi vazhinji
vanopedzisira vatiza dzimba dzacho dzashupa nekuda kwezvinhu
zvehurombwa, mhiko dzacho ungazodzigona iwe? ini hangu handidi kuti

" Dai wambomira kuuya Stern and anyway I need to know and tell you certain

I wanted to tell him kuti I slept with Caston and I also wanted to tell him kuti I
was in love with Caston, if he could go past that and forgive me hamhenowo
but his forgiveness was not what I wanted , I just wanted to be left alone kuti
ndigadzire life yangu. Ndakamunzwa avakutura mafemo then he said...
"Whatever happened in the past hazvisisina basa."

" Zvine basa because that's why we are here right now. "

" Wakaitei ? "

" Zvoda ndichikuudza face to face . "

" Just tell me Whitney, you don't have to wait kuti undiudze face to face. "

Ndakangotuzura ndakanyarara then I reached for my wallet ndikaburitsa 20

" Waakuda kuita zvekundivhundutsira here ndiyende hangu? "

Ndakabva ndaakutoda kusimuka and she said, "ndoda kuona ma pics

" Kuti zvaita sei?"

"Ndoda kuona mukadzi wako?"

" Kwana Bertha."

63 | P a g e
" Usandiudze izvozvo."

I shook my head nekusatonzwisisa the reason why she needed to do that

ndakabva ndasimuka ndaakuda kutoenda then she pushed me on the bed,
"hauyende tisina kutaurirana shamwari Mira titaure , saka iwewe all you
wanted was to use me handiti,wakaona ndakanyorwa kunzi chikorobho
chamai vako? "

" Shaaa usade kundinetsa you came on to me from the beginning saka iwewe if

I'm actually doing you a favor usade kuita seuri kundiitira favor iwewe."

"Saka uda kuzviita as if haude vakadzi here iwewe all I did was prove to you
kuti hausi saint waida kuonererwa uchindishainira the day I met you na Fidzo
, after that haugone kunyepa futi kurara neni wonyepa kuti hauna mukadzi
unoti changu ndechemahara when your wife is benefiting everything hakuna
zvakadaro whatever she gets neniwo I want the same as her nekuti there's is
no difference between us. "

" There's a difference ,iwewe you are my girlfriend uyo mukadzi wangu usade
kunyepedzera kunwa paraffin uchiti drink unofira mahara iwewe. "

" Are you threatening me because I can easily report you kuti wakati urikuda
kundiuraya just because I found out that you were married. "

"Hamheno ita zvawada usade kundityisidzira warara the whole night

wakandibatirira just because makuseni and I want to go waakuda kunditamba
rough. " Ndanga ndaakubhowekana nemunhu sure munhu wepi, I had done all

64 | P a g e
that she wanted me to do yet she still wasn't satisfied kana kuri kugumbuka
kuti i was married well too bad that wasn't going to change...

" Excuse me ndiende I'm getting late for work." Akabva andivharira nzira and I
looked at her, "chinzwa Bertha if this going to be the attitude you give me all
the time then ngazvigare I can't handle it, usade kundipinza Jeri just because
you found out that I'm married kana wazvibata wazvibata and I can't change
that, you keep worrying me nenyaya yemari then let me go and work ka kwete
kundikembesa panapa andidye kurara newe wanzwa...

"Ndipe yegrocery woenda."

" Andina Mari."

" Iwe usanyepe mhani ndaona message saying mu account mako mune 12000
usade kundiita stupid." I could have smacked myself if I could , once again I
had forgotten to lock my phone , I surely cursed myself and couldn't find a
way out so I looked away unable to face her then I said, "shaa ine zvinangwa
plus haisi yangu."

She laughed then she said." Muridzi wemari ndiye anayo mu account don't
play tricks with me shaa I know ndeyako andisi grade one ndipe Mari tione. "

I picked up my phone then I transferred money kuisa ku ecocash then I sent

her 1500 ndokubva ndabuda. She didn't bother taking me to the kombis
nekuti zvaaida anga azviwana Kare ,ndakarwadziwa thinking it was the
money that I was supposed to use kwana Whitney anyway I comforted myself
ndichiti madeals angu ndogona Kuma faisa ndoita kamari maybe in two days

65 | P a g e
meaning kana ndanzi ndiunze mombe I would buy ndowedzera nemari yema
deals..

All the way to town I had plugged my earphones ndichiteerera music nekuti I
needed to forget a lot ,I had told myself that I would not cheat anymore but I
had failed myself and I wished I could turn back the hands of time and redo
everything again .iye hake Bertha andizive kuti sei anga andivavarira
considering kuti I didnt pay much attention to her ,ndaishaya honestly kuti
aidei and yes she was good in bed and she did all the things that could make a
man wild but ndayilacker connection naye zvekuti ndinganzwe kuda kuita
take take naye stereki.i had to find a way to get rid of her or else she was going
to make my life miserable ,ndakaona zvakanaka to find another way of dealing
nema garinya akaita saiye ,chigandanga chaanga aakuda kundiitira was
annoying.

I got to work Fidzo atovapo and pane kamwe kakubhowekana naye

kandakanzwa ,ndakangofamba kuenda kwaari ndakaita serious and said," but
asekuru zvamunofurira zvakawoma Bertha wenyu rough."

Akatanga asenga ndookuzoti, "Iwe Sha uri murume mukuru iwewe wekuti
ungauye uchiti ndakakufurira? taura nyaya yako zvakanaka."

" Bertha took number dza Whitney muphone mangu apa she's refusing to
break up with me she's threatening kuudza Whitney inini wacho I had lied
kuti handina mukadzi."

66 | P a g e
" Uri bhandi." Aitotaura looking Soo serious asina kana tsitsi neni I was hurt
and kunzi bhambi after all he's the one that had hooked me up with her, It was
very unfair of him kuti andidaro.

" Haundidaro shaa after all I didn't want her and iwewe you forced me to date
Bertha, right now my house ain't in order and I don't even know how to fix
things Bertha is threatening me ,I don't well nemathreats ."

"I'm sorry shaa I guess zvema side cheeks ndezvevarume vakuru izvi
zvaratidza kuti uchiri mwanana,iwewe ungabatwe first day nemacondom?
paye wakabhaiza ndipo pawakapusa manje and right now watomakisa tese
and even if I wanted to cover for you it's impossible to cover for you nyaya
dzako dzirikuwandisa kana iri yabertha I can't help you Sha because one,
macondom akabatwa and this will just confirmation kuti wakahura na Bertha,
akangofona chete ma 1 ako and by the way , njapisi haiwudzwe kuti andina
mukadzi,muudze and she will decide ega kuva kana kusava newe."

I spent the whole day ndichinzwa chando mubody it was pointless blaming
Fidzo it's not like he had pointed a gun at me kuti ndidanane na Bertha, I
wanted to go home but ndakaramba ndichingozvishingisa, takazoenda
kushamva kwatainge tanzi tiende and ndokwatainoita ma deals e gold

Whitney ,ndakafonera sekuru then he said he would pick me up...

"Musanonoke ka sekuru?"

67 | P a g e

Ndakabva ndaenda kumba ndikawana Pee na Mavis vakagara havo panze

" Ko hamusvike zvakanaka here nhai sekuru va Pee asi kwamarara kwanga

nervous nenyaya yekwana Whitney...." Mavis."

She came ndokubva apfugama ,I almost laughed ndookuzoti,"ndine nzara

gimme something to eat ,ndirikuda sadza rangu remanheru.'

" Ndaridya ?"

" Aah haudye sadza rangu ka?"

Ndakangomutuzura until she left akazouya me tea nechingwa ndikadya.after

Ndakaita sendichanyungudukirapo , he didn't keep quiet he carried on saying,
"uchiri wakagara?"

"Baba Lex haikona kudaro." Tete vakabva vapindira asi ndakangosimuka

nenyadzi dzangu ndokubva ndagara pasi mukona. Kuita semuranda chaiye if I
had known before kuti things would go bad maybe I would have thought
about it twice or maybe I would have gone ahead ndiri prepared unlike apa I
was being hit by surprises every step of the way.

Baba Lex sat down then tete began talking.

" Eh hanzvanzi ,bamnini vauya na sekuru nekuda kwenyaya yatiri kuziva tese
kuti yakaitika ,ini vakataura neni vakati vanobvuma mhosva yavo Havana
kuramba kuti vakaipara saka vauya kuti vazotaurirana nemi namaiguru
nekuti ndimi muridzi wemwana nekukumbira ruregerero pakukanganisirana

Baba vakatarisa kwandiri and said." Saka mukomana pawakatora my

daughter you thought you had found a jackpot kana kuti wakanga watoona
wavhura ka business nemwana wangu."

Ndakadairira pasi pasi."kwete baba."

" Saka akakupa mvumo yekudaro mwana wangu ndiyani wakaona mwana

" Kwete baba."

" Haikona kungoti pwete pwete seunotaura zvine musoro ,iti ehe baba ndizvo
zvandakaona nekuti dai usina kuona sekudaro ungadai usina kudaro saka

71 | P a g e
Ndakashaya kana kuti ndopindura sei nekuti he was right,I saw potential and
opportunity and then I used it but how was I to admit it to him apa ziso
ratsano was not shifting from me rairamba rakatarisa kwandiri ndakaabva
ndaramba ndakatsikitsira pasi.

"Hauchagona kutaura here usimuke usuduruke uende?"

" Ruregerero baba the truth is ndakashaiwa respect for my wife, ndakafarisa
ndisina kufunga the consequences of my actions.handizive baba kuti
ndingaitei kuti iye andiregerere and uyezve imi namai mundiregerere."

There was silence in the room for a few seconds then sekuru ndovakabva
vatanga kutaura..." Pamusoroi baba pamusoroi nemiwo Mai,kusvika kudai

" Wangu mwana hakuna kwaanoenda weee." Mama vakabva vatoisa mutongo

Ndakangotarisa kuna sekuru and he said ." Pamusoroi Mai ndimi nyakubereka

"Hukama hwacho ngaugare agara mwana wangu haana mufaro kumba

" Maiguru dzorai moyo Inga akumbira ruregerero wani."

" Aiwa maiguru musadaro Inga tiri mhuri imwechete wani."

Baba Lex vakabva vagadzirisa pahuro and said."Kutanga huyai nemombe

I thought maybe I had heard him wrongly ndakatarisa sekuru vakada havo
kuseka ndookuzoti, "Pamusoroi pamwe tatadza kunzwa mati mombe ngani?

" Ndati mombe 2 unless toti hedu 3 nekuti mhosva dzacho dzakati wandei

" He already seperated himself from his wife the moment he gave her to

I shook my head zvekuramba chaizvo and there was noway i was going to

Chapter 11

Whitney

Pakabuda vana Stern that's when I left the spare bedroom ndokubva ndaenda
ku kitchen where I found maiguru about to dish up dinner. I pulled a chair and
sat down zvikanzi naivo, "are you okay?"

" Yes maiguru I think I'm okay ." She laughed and said, " you think?"

"Ehe zve nekuti andinyatsozive if I'm ok or not, things have just changed
munoziva . " She nodded and allowed me to carry on." If I had known kuti I
would end up here 2 years ago I would have remained single ndichimirira
wangu, " I found myself laughing.

"saka muri kuti mukwasha wangu hamuchatomude zvachose? "

" Obviously I still care and love him but not the way I used to love him
zvatosiyana , Kare paye ndanga ndisingagone naye and ndaisatoda kunzwa
nezvekusiyana naye but manje apa mu brain mangu mava nepfungwa dze a

77 | P a g e
possibility of being able to love without him so I can't say I truly love him zve
nekuti love should be wholeheartedly not divided. "

Vakabva vatanga havo kupakura then she said." I understand and I won't
judge you or your decisions hangu, I just want you to be happy tete, give
yourself time and everything will fall into place handiti, mukazvipa a few
months you will be surprised kuti you might end up loving your husband
again, or you might get over him for good." I said, "mmmhm." ndokubva
ndanyarara.

We all sat at the dinner table and began having dinner the mood was still a bit
awkward and I could see kuti mama vane huturu I'm sure she was angry with
my aunt vaiita vachitura ma femo vakazoti, "ba Lex mwanangu kuya ndiko
kunonzi kumira sababa you did well or else your aunt was going to send back
my child by force."

He waited to swallow his food and said,"mama kune vanhu vanojairira and
munhu uya ane nyaya manje and ndirikuda kutodziziva dzese ane ma deals
asina kumira mushe."

I began wondering what ba Lex was talking about but I did not want to ask I
remained quiet ndichidya food yangu.

" Haiwa tete vako vandibhowa zvekuti handina mwana anoudzirwa nevamwe
Mai ini ndiripo, Whitney mwanangu I'm proud of you now ,and you are able to
stand up for yourself , don't be fooled by love doing things all in the name of
love just because you are scared to lose that person,if you can be asked to
even do zvinhu zvakaoma kudaro all in the name of love then it's not love
mwanangu.Love is not selfish and ibva wazviziva right now. I need you to

78 | P a g e
make something for yourself wazvinzwa ,work hard I know you were praying
for a job for a long time and wakariwana,Shanda mwanangu a woman works
,these days azvisi zvekuti I will depend on my husband unomuka usina
murume ,unofirwa kana kurambana then what,like ipapa you were not
working . Mari yaishota and it was easier to take advantage and use the
opportunity ,I want you to prove to yourself that you can be independent ,you
are not a toy yekuti ungatambiswe neada.

Mama was surely angry but mashoko avo aiva Ari right ,there were a few
things I needed to work on and upgrade myself. I noticed my father was very
quiet the whole time, takasvika pakupedza kudya vakangonyarara kudaro.we
cleared the table ndokubva ndanobatsira maiguru kusuka ma plates.

" Mmm asi tete vakanyanya tete." She said ndokubva vamira kusuka kuti
vambotaura.

" Ah hamheno zvasiyana from how she was from the time yavakatanga
kunzwa nyaya yacho andizive kuti apa tirikukonana papi."

" Varikutopa hope full force kune mukuwasha wangu nhai ,zvino makamuudza
here kuti mapinda murudo naboss." Vakabva vaseka zvavo and carried on
washing dishes ndakabva ndamira ndakapusa and said,"zvakaoma maiguru I
told him but he doesn't want to believe me he thinks ndiri kumunyepera
nekuti ndirikuda kumuramba saka he has decided to ignore the truth
ndakatomuudza about what happened between us but haasi kuzvitambira
uyu."

79 | P a g e
" Ah Inga mukuwasha ane ma funnies Ari umwe angadai achivava ipapa and
you are telling me kuti Ari kuzviramba ,it's not easy kuudza murume wako
kuti ndakarara nemumwe murume haa ndakutyai tete."

" I had to be honest nekumuonesa why it's not easy for us to work things out
but manje kana munhu achifunga kuti ndirikunyepa ma 1 ake."

" Musi waanozviziva tete munopondwa imi." Ndakatomboseka,"ndinongotiwo

ndakahura nekwakasara condom one randakaona rakashota Pama condom

Vakabva vaseka." Anohura achiziva kunoshandiswa ma condom arinanai pane

anohura asingazive kana nezve condom!"

" Kkkk makaoma zve maiguru nekuti ndakahura ndisina condom." Vakabva
vavhura muromo zvekushamisika zvikanzi."I hope manga muri pamapiritsi."
Ndikati ipapo ndanga ndisina kutora but ndanga ndichangobva pa cycle haa

Vakamboramba vakanditarisa then ndokubva varovanisa maoko and began

washing pots zvikanzi, " heya regai tione asi hehehehe mune hushingi I hope
you took morning afters just to be safe."

Ndakaseka ndikati, "maiguru kwanai mhani."

" Aiwa ndakakwana ini hamheno vamwe vanenge vave ma 2 in 1 very soon,asi

Ndakabva ndaseka but my heart began hurting,I began imagining how it

would be like having his baby,ndaisada kuzvirwadzisa ndakabva ndachinja

wanted to learn to live without him like Natalia had said, life did not revolve
around man.

A week passed Stern trying to talk to me but I ignored him and Cassy was
nowhere to be found kubasa kwedu anga asiri kuuya kana ka 1 ,slowly ndanga

Ndakasvotwa then I hung up the call ndakapotsa ndakandira phone pasi then I
controlled myself , zvekuudzwa zvenyemba zvakandibhowa. Ndakarara
ndakagumbuka zvokuti but andina kuudza mama I knew she would be hurt so
I decided to keep it to myself. Early in the morning ndakamukira kubank

85 | P a g e
kunotora Mari, at least kwema us kwaisava nequeue and the limit was a
grand, ndakatora ndokubva ndafonera mama na daddy kuti chiuyai
mutown,they were driving saka havana kutora nguva,ndanga ndisati
ndambovaitira anything saka firstly we went to old lock then she chose the
blanket that she wanted a bedspread and sheets.... Ndakaona a certain kind of
happiness that I had never seen ini my mother's face ,from there we went into
town ndikaenda ku Eastgate pa 4May for the Italian slim fit suits
ndikavatengera yavaida , lastly I bought her shoes ndokubva ndavaendesa for
lunch .

Takati tagara pasi my father couldn't stop smiling, "i can't believe this is you
mwanangu ,I have never been this proud ndirikunzwa kuda kupfeka suit
yangu vanondiona havo Sunday ku church." Takabva tafa nekuseka tese then
mama said." Ndikapedza kuwaridza mubhenda ndoda kutora picture ndobva
ndaisa pa profile kana status."

" Haaa mama ndezvevana vadiki izvo hazvisi zvevanhu vakuru."

" Aiwa lemme show off ndoda kutonyora kuti zvandaitirwawo nemhandara
yangu."

"Hahaha zvamama I'm glad you are happy."

" Theres nothing that makes parents proud than seeing their kids succeed."
Mama said and then dad nodded in agreement.

" I'm thinking of starting a business already."ndanga ndisati ndaziva kuti rei
but I had ideas...

86 | P a g e
Dad looked at me and smiled ," I love that drive yava mauri saka what are you
thinking off?"

" I don't know yet but ndichaona. "

They were impressed and I was impressed with myself , takazobva mutown
and went home Kuma 4 chaiko and honestly I really had fun with my parents ,
Sunday takaenda kuchurch tese, family yedu yainamata Methodist Church and
I had missed kuenda kuchurch kunonyatsonzwa vanhu vachiimba
zvinokuswededza padhuze naMwari,surely sometimes ka disconnection na
Mwari kanoita kuti life yemunhu iite disorder chaiyo and I realized that I had
actually disconnected with my spiritual side ,ndakabva kuchurch ndichinzwa
kuti it was well with my soul,even if people were to label me se hure I didn't
care anymore ,my self judgement of myself was better than anyone ,I was who
I told myself I was and I was definitely who the Lord said I was ,ndaingonzwa
kamwe kamufaro kaigona kubhowa Satan.

Kumanheru I decided to speak to Natalia about ka business mbichana,ndaida

kuziva how to get connected pakutenga zvinhu kunze uyezve and how to
market ka business kandaida...

"Wafungeiko nhai mupfanha wangu." She said after I told her kuti ndaida
kuita ka business.

" Ndoda kutengesa mawig ane closure ,I don't know if that will work ,I don't
know much about business."

"Wachangamuka ka kkkkk,hapana chisingashande Whitney ,ndokubatsira

how to buy things online wanzwa and when you do so I can help you market,
create a WhatsApp group, vakawanda varikuzviita ,kana kuti choose what you
87 | P a g e
want to sell Pama wig acho then we check online kuti Ari available here then
iwewe wogara watanga advertising and inini ndoziva vanhu vane Mari shaa,
ndoda ma wig unoita Mari netype yevanhu vandinotamba navo."

She had no idea how excited i was ," i don't know kuti ndokutenda sei shaa?"

"Wozonditenda kana waita mari, in a few months you should be driving kwete
zvako zvekufamba nemakombi nekuti mamwe macustomer haana nguva
yekufamba you will be forced to deliver."

After that chat with her ndakava ne hope for a better future, ba Lex vaida ma
us saka ndakavatengesera enough to cover Mari ya Cassy yaakandipa achiti
arikundikweretesa mari yekombi,I hesitated ,I didn't know how he would
react Saka anyway ndakazvishingisa ndokubva ndamutumira Mari yacho via
ecocash then I sent a message saying." Thank you Soo much I felt I had to live
up to my promise ,I have just paid back the money I owed you ."

Dzakaita one hour asina kutaura chinhu and then he called me ,ndakamboita e
few seconds scared to answer his call then ndokubva ndadaira then he said.
"Nanhasi you still take long to answer my calls like before anditi,just like when
I would call countless times usingadaire not knowing kuti you would be
cuddling with your husband."

" Cassy."

" Ndipindure zve?"

"I was scared to answer your call."

" Ndaakuruma here?"

88 | P a g e
"Aiwa."

"Unondishorerei Tyney?"

" Cassy andikushore." He went silent like he was struggling to speak ,I could
hear him sighing then he said. "When I gave you that money I gave my woman
,I gave Tyney nyangwe zvako you refused to be my woman nekuti ndanga
ndisina kukukoshera."

" That's not true."

He hung up ndikabva ndasticker looking at the phone and I began wondering

kuti what did he mean kuti I refused to be his woman?I was dying to be his
woman anyway pasina ma minutes akabva aidzosa Mari yacho zvikanzi,"kana
usingaide tsvaga wekupa."

" Ndaida kupa iwewe ." I apped him back then I noticed he removed his pic
pachibva paita blank,I began wondering kuti pese apa ndakatadza nei kuita
screen shot the pic and save it saka ndaizomuonera kupi,ndakaridza tsamwa
ndokubva ndapinda mumagumbeze ndokubva ndarara.

In the morning ndanga ndaakuita ndichitakurwa na ba Lex then vondisiya

mutown ,on Tuesday ndakaburutswa na ba Lex mutown and then ndaakuenda
pamakombi pakaita mota yakandiridzira hooter, I turned ndikaona bamkuru
Terry varimumota mavo vaina Cassy hamheno kwaiendwa nekwaibviwa ,I

Cassy

Whitney aindirovesa nehana zvake mhani and zvaindipa hasha kuti sei pese
pese aindidaro , I watched her getting into the car asi ndaiita wekudongorera I
was avoiding eye contact with her,iyewo akangopinda nekuti, "good morning
sir." kwandiri ndokubva atarisa kuna bamkuru vake and said , "hesi bamkuru
ko murikubva nekupi murikuenda nekupi? "

" Pane kwatiri kuenda sweetheart, I don't know what made me pass through
then we saw you, ndaona kunge you were dropped off na tsano that was him
anditi?"

I can't can't deny the fact that I actually got annoyed ndichimuona achiburuka
mumota macho imomo nekuti i didn't know who was dropping her off , Terry
had not seen her but ndini ndakatanga Kumuona ndikatoti Terry hona hama
yako.

"Mati nditsanoka ?" Terry asked again

91 | P a g e
I looked at her zvekubira then she said, "ehe ndasiiwa na ba Lex he drops me
off in town everyday then ndozodzokera ndega kumba. "

" Hamuna henyu arikukupererekedzai?" Terry asked laughing.

" Ah bamkuru ndisiyei varisei sis vangu?"

"Varikundichengeta." He laughed and she smiled

Handina kuda kutaura I wanted Terry to do the talking for me, he cleared his
throat and said , "saka bamnini vangu varisei?" Ndakatarisa Terry neziso
rekuti are you trying to annoy me but he never noticed ,I quickly looked away
waiting for Whitney's answer and she answered with a low tone.

" Andizive kuti varisei." I can't say my heart was not happy that things didn't
seem okay with them but anyway that didn't change the fact that she was
married.

"Hooo saka hamusi kudzokera Kuwadzana ?" Terry asked and then she
remained quiet, goodness I needed her to talk fast ,I closed my eyes ndokubva
ndazomavhura when I heard the sound of her voice."I don't think so." She said
then she kept quiet,what did "I don't think so" mean? It had no meaning at
all,she didn't think so but she wasn't sure ka.ndakabva ndatova phone and
plugged my ear phones and began playing loud music so whatever they spoke
about again handina kuzvinzwa.

Handina kana kuzoda kumutarisa futi until we got to borrowdale ndokubva

tamusiya, ndipo pandakazovhura maziso.we were going to kadoma na Terry
ndaida kumupinza machema nema deals eikoko saka ndakanga ndamuti huya
unditore tiende kana uchida ma deals ane mari. Meeting Whitney was not part

92 | P a g e
of our plans we were on our way out of town ndakatoshama munhu
aakuperekedza Whitney kubasa...Anyway I watched her as she walked
achinopinda pabasa Terry ndokubva arova mota going to kadoma

"I know about the two of you?" I looked at Terry not sure what he was on
about.

" He smiled and said,"I know she's inlove with you and you are in love with
her ,I know you are the guy that she was dating nekuti it was a big story by her
house."

I was not Soo surprised he knew, after all they were related and his wife knew
me,ndakangoti, "andichamuda."

"I'm sorry my guy,I can imagine how you are feeling but she ain't like what
you are thinking.

" Terry munhu akandirwadzisa mhani uyu and I don't wanna talk about it
,Everytime I picture her with stern my heart crushes a million times and I
can't stop thinking about it."

" You are not letting it out that's why."

" Even if I let it out it won't change the fact that she is married haudanane
nemunhu womusiya achinyura murudo newe then womuudza kuti
ndakaroorwa. imagine if I was to date her, make her fall in love with me
onyatsonyura ,then I tell her kuti ndine mukadzi I'm married,it's crazy man,
hutsinye ,like ipapa if the situation was reversed and she was the victim, it's
easier for a man to have two wives but a woman can't have two husbands ,I
love her but I need to get over her ,I need to move on,mukadzi wa Stern ,and

93 | P a g e
kungoziva kuti mukadzi wemunhu is one thing that is making me stay away
from her,Dai vakarambana maybe ,but Havana kurambana she is still married
and it kills me every day."

I could feel my anger rising the whole time i was talking to Terry but it was
actually the first time I ever let it out nekuti ndaisava kana newekuudza ,the
only person that was there was my brother Oliver who stayed with my
parents but ndaisada kana kutomuudza nyaya yakadaro.Terry akabva
anditarisa then he said." Do you even know what shes going through ,she went
to the point of telling everyone what she did regardless of how they were
going to judge her but nekuti she knew she had done wrong and nekuti aiziva
kuti murume wake aimuitisa she decided to stand up for herself and do the
right thing,hapana asingazive kuti Whitney anokuda ipopaye, vanhu vese
kumba kwavo vanoziva kuti kune munhu anonzi Caston.'

Ndakatarisa panze I wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or lying to me but
ndakangonzwa kakufara kuti she told everyone kuti she loved me ,did she ?

" Wati akavaudza kuti chii?"

He laughed then said ,"I should not be the one telling you all this but I think I
should just tell you not because I want you to work things out with her but
because you have to know certain things nekuti you are just focusing on
Whitney's betrayal hence blinding yourself pachokwadi chese ,that woman
wawaona akaudza family yake about the affair yaakaita newe and she also
told them kuti she fell in love with you ,that takes guts considering that she is
married but Akaona kuti hazviite , haisi nyore kuudza vanhu kuti im inlove
with the man I had an affair with,give her a bit if credit."

94 | P a g e
" So because she admitted it now makes it all okay and I should just forget
nekuti audza vanhu,ehe avaudza but does it erase everything."

" No."

" Saka uri kuti chii nhai ?"

" Ndirikutaura kuti anokuda whatever you guys had or have seems to be
real,at least kwaari,shaa Whitney is not like that ,she never cheated on that
guy and for her to date you was out of duty she felt obligated to please her
husband as the good woman that she is ,and I'm sure Stern never believed that
she could fall for you nekuti aive ne confidence dzekuti ndiye ega aidiwa na
Whitney,the truth is bamnini vakabhaiza ,ihasha hadzo dzauinadzo but ndirini
iwewe ndingadai ndakatora mukadzi Kare."

"Handitore mukadzi wemunhu yakatoitika yaiva mistake nekuti ndaisaziva,

but anyway ndichawanawo wangu asina munhu, ndingamude hangu but I'm
attracted to women who can stand up for herself ,ndikamutora it means
kwandiri achangondiitirawo iyoyo, you are telling me kuti ndikamuti babie
danana nanhingi achadanana naye, I need a woman with principles anoziva
kuti izvi andiite and andiitiswe , a woman wandisingaitise, a woman who can
stand her ground and tell me kuti Cassy izvi handisikuda usandimanikidze at
least ndoziva kuti ndine munhu mumba kwete kuti ndoita kunge ndine munhu
wekurara naye chete and order around aiwaka saka kunzi mukadzi wangu
kunobva papi? "

" Hahaha wandinakidza ndazvinzwa and ndirikukunzwisisa but I think you

have no idea of the new Whitney hako, I'm cheering for mainini vangu because
as it is she refused to go back kuwadzana kureva kuti hapasisina imba. "

95 | P a g e
" Achiri mukadzi wemunhu Terry. "

" Ko pane mukadzi wembwa here? "

He finally made me laugh and ndanga ndatosuwa kuseka , it really felt good
kunyangwe ndaive ndakatsamwa , knowing kuti she refused to go back kuna
Stern ndakabva ndavhara maziso ndikafunga how she was looking ndakazova
disturbed na Natalia who was calling me , uyuwo aitopenga manje, she
tolerated my tantrums kunyangwe ndaimbomuudza rough ndakapedzisira
ndasiya , ndakadaira phone nditori half asleep ndiye akandibvisa pakufunga
Whitney.

" Eh watii?"

"Ndati hesi Cassy?"

Ndakaseka ndikati," haunete nekundimhoresa handiti? "

" Ehe hauna kupedza ma bills egumbo rangu apa ririkurwadza I can't even
drive une hutsinye. "

" Haunyare kunyepa ma bills api? andina kupedza? ndakabhadhara wani? "

" Ndirikushandisa taxi everyday saka iwewe unoti haasi ma bills here?"

" Kana uchida kudya Mari yangu taura zvakanaka asi manje inoshupa kudya
nekuti ine muridzi wayo anoidya."

" Haa kwana Caston ndamboti ndoda kudya Mari yako here inini?"

" Wandiudza ma bills asina basa."

" Unodenha makuseni seiko huya uone gumbo zvaraita."

96 | P a g e
" Raita sei?"

" Huya uone wega unozoti ndinonyepa."

" Tumira pic."

" Yakafa camera the day rawakandidhuma ."

Ndakaseka then I said ,ok ndichauya then I hung up.Terry akabva anditarisa
zvikanzi, "ndiyani?"

"Anonzi Natalia."

"Wamuda?"

"Aiwa anenge arikuda inini."

"Saka urikuda kuitei?"

"Andizive."

Chapter 14

Stern.

I spent a few days quiet ndisingade zvekutaura nemunhu, I felt like I had to
remarry my wife for the second time mombe 2 dzekungotanga kutaura
meaning another one yakanzi yekuripa yaidiwa to make it three,Tsano vanga
vatondisaiza I could see kuti vanga vava nekamwe kakundijairira kaive pavari.
I went to work nekungodzoka kumba ndisingatsvagane nezvakawanda , pay
yakapinda ndaiti pamwe ichauya iri double thinking futi but no it was my
normal pay , I kept looking at my phone shaking it that maybe I would be able
to add another zero kumberi kwelast zero but it was just wishful thinking.

Nemakwiriro e rate re us ndaitoda kutombokumbira HR kuti ataure na boss

kana kuti ndaizoenda ndega ndonokumbira kuti dai vatinzwira tsitsi and pay
us in us, I began laughing at myself trying to make a budget with the 150
worth of us that was in my account, trying to figure out how to manage my
expenses.whitney was always the one who knew how to deal with all those

98 | P a g e
bills apa anga asipo, ndakabuda mubedroom then I went kuna Mavis who was
in the kitchen cleaning ,ndaitonyara kutaura naye ndakazongoti.

"Mavis sha is it okay ndikakupa mari yako as rtgs." She stopped cleaning and
looked me smiling, I thought she wanted to say something chinemusoro but
she said,"Rtgs ndoomari ipi manje?"

"I mean transfer or ecocash?"

" Murikutaura kuti mari yemumhepo?" She began laughing and I already knew
kuti aisatoida.

Nekupererwa ndakangodaira ndikati, "shaa us ririkushupa." Pulling a chair

and sitting down akabva anditi , "us harisi kunetsa mari yekuritenga
ndoinongodiwa chete munhu obva azviwanira us rake otyorera muhomwe ,
kana yava rtgs make sure kuti it is equivalent to current rate , ndikasvika
rakwira kutown mowedzerawo nekuti loss hangauye kwandiri. "

" Fine saka 20 us ka." Akabva avhura maziso and said. " Haisi nguva yema
jokes bamkuru,majokes tozoita hedu kana tichinge tapanana mari ye pay
fanika iyo ndakatoivhurira ziso."

Ndakatanga kunzwa kudedera looking at body ya Mavis she was big enough to
to squash me, not kuti she was really huge no but there's that kind of body
yaunongoona wega kuti this person can destroy me ,I was really scared I
won't lie ndakabva ndabuda going to the toilet ndisati ndazviitira ,I forgot to
close the door and handina kuona kuti she had followed me apa
ndakangopedza kurasa mvura then I turned ndisina kurongedza zvinhu
pazvinofanira kurongedzwa , munhu akangoti, "maiwee zvangu chiiko nhai

99 | P a g e
bamkuru." Ndakavhunduka then I quickly closed the door ndokubva
ndarongedza zvinhu zvangu.

I felt extremely embarrassed ndakabva ndambogara ndirimo not knowing

how to face her ,pandakazobuda ndakafamba ndaakupinda mumba hoping
that I would not meet her mu passage ,ndaakutodarika pakitchen akabudikira
then bumped into ndakangoti miyedzo ineni,maziso ake akabva adzika
achinotarisa kwaanga amboona zvinoyera,"haa iwe asi urikuda kuita
shohwera chauri kutarisa ipapa chii."

"Mmm bamkuru kusavharawo door hanzii ?"

" Ko iwe wanditeera asi wanga uchida kupinda neni mutoilet?"

" Ndine inorembera here ini."akabva afambisa kuda kutiza ndikabva

ndamubata ruoko ndikati, wakakwana?"

"Haa bamukuru mhani ndisiyei anyway ndipei Mari yangu ndoda kumboita
zvandinoita."

" Wazoti marii hatina kupedzerana paye ini ndati 20 iwe ukati aiwa."

" Munondipa 20 marinyehuku 4 mopenga here munhu akasvika svika kudai?"

" Handiti ndiyo Mari yamunotambira here?

" Vanaani?"

" Imimi?"

" Vanaaniko aiwa itai mushe ndipeiwo kana 50 zvayo."

100 | P a g e
I thought she was joking but 50 meant that I would be left with a 100 and it
was not going to be enough to pay my rent, food and transport,I shook my
head ndikati,"haa50 haiite unondisiya pama1 kana zvirizvo zvinenge
zvaakureva kuti ndaakugara hangu ndega ndisina anobika kana kutsvaira.

Akambonyarara then she said, " saka mune marii?"

"Dai wati kaana 30.

" Kubva pa 50 aiwa ngatiti 35.

" 35 haisi kuita Mavis kani okay fine ndozokuwedzera .

" Makamboona kupi Mari yepay ichinzi chikwereti nhai anyway wonai
zvekuita tagumira pa 35.

Akabva afamba achitobuda ma negotiations acho asati apera ndokubva

ndaenda mu bedroom ndikanofonera Mai Pee ndichimuudza kuti munhu
wake Aida kundidya maro yese.

"Mira ndikuudze ini ngaasakujairire zvakadaro mhani hapana chinoshamisira

paari 35 anoiwanira kumakuva pa 20 ipapo wanga watogona stereki
hanzvanzi."

"Haikona kuzotukana naye zvauriwe."

" Asi ndinotuka vanhu?"

101 | P a g e
" Hautuke here." She began laughing zvikanzi,eh hanzvadzi wozongondionawo
ka yemagetsi," ndokubva ndambomira kutaura ndichibva ndaseka ndikati
,"ukagona kudzikisa Mari ya Mavis kusvika pa 30 us ndokupa imwe 5 yacho."

"Waita basa mwana wamai ndiwe wega unondifunga ko mhai vakafonazve

hanzi hausi kudaira phone yavo,rakasvika ka shoko rekuti mukadzi wako

" Rakasvika naani ini ndisina kuvaudza nyaya idzodzo?"

"Mukadzi wa Simon ndiye akataura vakanyatsotaura mama vakati mukadzi

wa Simon akavafonera achivaudza." Ndakaridza tsamwa and said ," saka
humaiguru huri papi kana vaine makuhwa kudaro manje ndoda kuvaudza
rough.

"Haa siya ndipedzerane naye iwe akajaidzwa nemurume wake anomurova ne

I didn't want to talk to Mai Pee anymore and zvesure ndakabva ndatofonera
maiguru ipapo ipapo ndikati.

"Ko nhai maiguru tikangonyarana mbichana zvinoita sei?"

" Hezvo nhai bamnini what's wrong zvekuti mongofona nekuda kutopopota."

"Maiguru zivai kuti muri mukadzi wamukoma and inini andisirini

102 | P a g e
"hamusikuona kuti maakundijairira here nhai bamnini,hamungotuke munhu
without explaining nyaya yenyu zvakanaka what is your problem and why are

"Zvamakaudza mama kumusha pamusoro pema affairs angu maiedza kuita sei

"Kuudza mama?imi nyatsotsvagai nyaya yenyu mushe handina kufonera

"Musade kuramba nekuti mabatwa."

"Bamnini andinei nechihure chemumba menyu mazvinzwa."

" Matii bamnini. "

" Mazvinzwa zvandataura as long as makawanikwa musiri virgin zvamaida

kunyepera mukoma wangu kuti muri virgin musiri you have no write to say
hee chihure chemumba mangu nekuti manga muri gaba meaning hure, get

I had Soo much anger ,I didn't want kuti nyaya isvike Kuna mama and yanga
yasvika and honestly I had been ignoring mamas calls because ndaisada kuti
vabvunze zvakawanda. Apa thinking kuti my secret was safe umwe munhu
aakuburitsa ndakasvotwa....I left the bedroom then I went kunotenga 2 liters

Kakabva kaseka , "maihwee zvangu mhanduwe."

Ndaisada kuseka but I ended up laughing and she remained standing and
waiting for the coke ndakazomuti, "hausikuona kuti ndanwira muchigubhu

" Mate anouraya here? tidirirei tinwe hedu."

Ndakaseka ndokubva ndamudirira achibva atobuda kuenda. Kumasikati that's

Stern

Slowly I went inside the house and found her sitting in the kitchen
akafundumwara, apa anga agara Ari munhu ane matama.i pulled a chair and
sat next to her then cleared my throat akabva atarisa kwandiri.

"Sorry ." I said then she kept quiet ,"I shouldn't have asked her to speak to you
but nekuti ndivo vakauya newe ndaingofunga kuti munogona kunzwisisana."

She looked at me and said." Handina kuzvifarira hangu but ndazviburitsa

ndatova right."

" Saka hausisina kunditsamwira handiti ka ,apa urikuda kukanganisa matama

akanaka uchimafutisa haunyare."

She looked at me then she laughed."matama mahombe akanaka here haa

nyengererai mushe bamkuru."

" Saka ndizame futi?'

106 | P a g e
"Ehe."

" Kunyengerera?" She rolled her eyes and said,"ko handiti ndiko kwamuri
kuedza kuita here nhai bamkuru?"

Ndakaseka, Mavis chaitova funny chaisatana kutsamwa but she never took
long angry,ndakabva ndati,munhu akanaka akatsamwa hazviite anokanganisa
shape yeface yakazvinakira saka usadaro handiti."

" Ehoi."

" Saka ndokumbira kukupa 30 then ndosokupa 5 yacho next week?"

" It's fine ko handiti ndiripano here!"

"Wandirerutsira thanks,"ndakabva ndavhura wallet and took out the 30 us

ndokubva ndamupa achibva aisa mu bra,ndakada kuseka then I just said,
"aaah nhaiwe uri chembere?"

"Matanga bamkuru ndaita sei?"

" Unoisa Mari mukati imomo kuti zvaita sei unoita cancer ."

" Hoo saka cancer yacho makatomboiita here."aitotaura zvake ne confidence

then she got up to make something for me to eat sezvo ndainge ndatadza
kudya the whole morning and even pa lunch I had struggled, ndakaramba
ndakatarisa zvaaiita and aisacheuka hamheno ndakangoyeverwa ndakadaro
ndakazovhunduka ati ,"nhai bamkuru ko pindurai."

" Sorry watii Mavy?"

107 | P a g e
" Ndati ko maiguru varikudzoka riini shes been gone for a while ,I hope I'm
not overstepping my boundaries it's only kuti andidi kunzwa Ari makuhwa
nevanhu that's why I decided to ask you."

I took a deep breath then I said ," zvakaoma Mavy shaa."

" Chii?' she asked sitting down looking concerned.

"It's hard for me to tell you but I made a mistake Kuna maiguru pane
zvakangoitikawo and then again like you said kuti ndichavhiringirwa zvinhu
nasisi vangu it has a lot to with that and neniwo ndakaitawo ma mistakes
akadhakwa."

" Did you cheat on her, I'm sorry kana ndatadza kuvhunza ,sometimes
ndinorotomoka ndotadza kuzvibata but you don't have to answer if you feel
uncomfortable."

" Hahahah Mavis kwana ah,muvhunzo wako unorema and haupindurike I'm
failing to say yes or no saka ma1."

" So it's a yes because dai yanga iri no you could have easily said no."

Ndakatsikitsira pasi ,it was embarrassing yet heart breaking, I really was
missing my wife but I had decided kumupa a little bit space kuti andisuwewo
then maybe she would talk to me ndisina kuita zvekumumanikidza kutaura
neni, I also wanted to feel wanted, that was the issue that was troubling me
pana Whitney, nyangwe ndakamutadzira she was cutting me off totally as if
we were not married like she didn't want to work on us at all.that thought
yekuti she did not care anymore hurt me more than anything,yes I messed up

108 | P a g e
hangu but the way she was acting was too much, as if mazuva ese all I did was
hurt her,as if we did not have any good memories pakati pedu. I knew kuti
ndaive ndatadza but did I deserve to be crucified ? Kuita kunge munhu was
just waiting to break up with me, forgetting what made her go against her
mother just to be with me , how could things change Soo fast like that? Why
did it feel as if ndanga ndaakunyanya kunyengerera stereki?

" Ko maenda kupi futi. " She clicked her fingers in my face.

" Sorry ndanga ndaenda kure. " ndakasimudza musoro then I looked at her
ndokubva atanga kutaura,maybe I needed another pov isiri ya Mai Pee,I
decided kumupa mukana since she was a woman I thought maybe she would
be able to help me.

" Handiti you know kuti kufunga hakubatsire but action ndiyo inobatsira.

"Action yangu yese irikudhakwa Mavy haasi kuda kundipa mukana .

"Imi hamuzive kuti mukadzi akadiwa stereki anoita manyemwe, she doesn't
seem like the type inoda hayo kunyengeterwa but if she keeps saying no to
you maybe it simply means kuti hamusi kudiwa anymore meaning chamakaita
chihombe. "

" I'm curious hangu when it comes to you women. "

" Pachii? "

" Okay it is possible kuti unogona kuda mumwe munhu iwewe uine murume
wako i mean kunyatsoda someone else kudarika murume wako?"

109 | P a g e
Akamboseka then she said,"Nyaya dzacho dzakaoma bamkuru kkk asi ehe
zvinoitika,handiti imimi munogona kuda another woman asiri mukadzi wenyu
so same goes for women,varume hamusimi mega munogona kuda stereki
nesuwo tine ma feelings ,mukatibhowa tikawana arinani we find comfort but
haisi nyore we normally hang in there,in marriages just to please men,even if
we are unhappy tinoshingirira telling ourselves that ndizvo zvamuri and that's
how marriages are but ukaona mukadzi aakuti haachada anenge asisade,there
are better man out there and tikadiwa sure tinoyenda.

Zvekufunga kuti Whitney didn't love me anymore was not what I wanted to
hear so I carried on, "sorry kukuvhunza zvisingaite but handina wekuvhunza
and you are the only female that's here right now ,tell me ,is it possible for a
woman to want to sleep with someone else other than her husband?'

" Yuwiiii inga makaipirwa bamkuru."

"I'm sorry rega ndiende hangu ndaakutaurisa I can see."

" It's fine relax, well it deepens kuti zvakamira sei kumba,it's not easy for a
married woman to do so but if she does kureva kuti kumba hakuna kumira
mushe mukadzi wemunhu haagovere zvekumhanya ,vakadzi toda
kufadzwawo it's not only about kufadza imimi monakirwa but nesuwo
tinotoda kunakirwa ,saka kana zvisingafaye kumba ehe kana Awana
anonyatsomufadza nekumubata mushe anotorara naye that's if kana atadza
kuzvibata ,kune kumwe kubatwa kwekuti ndiwe unotozomanikidzira munhu
kuti rara neni kani nekuti shewe vekumba vanenge vachingosiira mukadzi
panzira mukadzi achirarama aripanzara varume mine hutsinye."

110 | P a g e
I felt Soo embarrassed nemashoko a Mavis and ndakabva ndatoona picture
yezvandaiita Kuna Whitney, well all along I thought it was okay because
ndaingofunga kuti sex was for us man to enjoy and a woman was just there to
cater to my needs, ndakapotsa ndazviseka ndakazongoti, "mmm inga
zvakaoma ." She gave me food zvikanzi,"try ignoring her handiti varikuda
space so give her just that. "

" Saka ndoramba ndichirara ndiri dollar sign here nhai Mavy saka kana
kuchitonhora ndoita sei? "

" Mowedzera magumbeze. "

" Asi sekuru va Pee mune magumbeze akashota? " kakapinda ka Pee
kachinanzva maoko apedza kudya ma jiggies andaive ndamutengera.

" Ehe kuri kutonhora ndirikuda gumbeze rine ziso?"

" Magumbeze ane maziso sekuru?"

" Ehe hauzvizive ?"

Chapter 16

Natalia

I stared at the photo yandaiona ya Caston, aiwa he was a man and a half
besides kuva nemari but the way he was built was just a bonus ,not kuti he
had those muscular kind of bodies no but he was the type isina zvakanyanya
kuwanda paari but achinakidza kuona ,the type to get you glued and just
admire him. For a moment ndakambofunga kuti ndaaakupenga , I had never
been Soo captivated by someone like that, he was the type to make you wanna
do anything for him but I had already picked something about him anga
asingori type yekuitira dzungu, I had tried calling a couple of times but hey
zvaitoramba. Anyway I figured out kuti he had mines and semunhu aifarira
kupinda muma deals akawanda I figured kuti let me use the mine trick to get
to him close, So I texted him ndikamuudza kuti I wanted to talk business , he
took a while without responding ndookuzoti, "gumbo ririkurwadza here?"

Ndakamboseka nekuti aive andibata, last time I had used that as a trick to get
to see him but yakaramba kushanda,ndakabva ndamufonera at least
ndichinzwa voice rake I knew i would be able to pick his mood since he was

114 | P a g e
very unpredictable, you would think kuti urikugona yet peasing him off ,I
didn't want to risk the chances of seeing him again so he answered calmly.

"Saka wazofunga zvekufona?" He asked achiita kunge ane nungo dzekutaura I

wanted to ask where he was but ndakanyara I ended up saying .

"I hope i didnt wake you up you sound very tired ."

I could hear him yawning then he said," ehe wandimutsa but anyway ndajaira
kuti unofarira zvekundibhowa."

"Andizvifarire ini but somehow I end up ndaakukubhowa I'm really sorry,it's

never my intention."

" Mmmm saka wazoti gumbo raita sei zviya?"

" Well harina zvaraita but ndingadii hangu handiti hauna basa neni saka
anyway don't worry about my leg richapora haro kana ravakuda,
handingarimanikidze,ndatofonera zvimwe this is a business call."

" Lol ok saka this time what kind of business do you wanna discuss. "

" Can't discuss over the phone. "

" I don't do illegal deals Natalia if perhaps that's what you want. "

Ndakamboseka nemamhanyiro anga aita pfungwa dzacho, "Anditodiwo ma

ilegal deals Caston ndirikuda kutaura newe zvine musoro."

"Eho saka ndokupa number dza P.A then you make an appointment, then
tozoonana paunenge wapihwa appointment yacho. "

115 | P a g e
" Do we have to meet at the office nhai?"

"Handiti wati business here nhai saka the office is perfect. "

" Eho fine If that's what you want but hazvisikungoita kuti ndiite a formal
appointment with you ah, it makes me feel weird.

"Fine I will see you later I will call you when I'm by your place, pamwe
ungamire kushupa. "

" Thanks.

He hung then I jumped from the couch and began dancing , ndakabatwa
nekamwe kakufarisa I just had to express my feelings, ndakabva ndaisa
rhumba ndikatanga kutamba ndega volume iri Soo loud, at least my son had
gone ku preschool aitakurwa necombi yekuchikoro. Ndakabva ndanzwa
appetite yakanyanya I went to the kitchen ndichiimbirira ndikaona aunt
vaindishandira vachitopedza making breakfast.

" Haaa kana aunt mazai idyai mega andisi kumada ndoda nyama
ndoinonyatsondiitira in this mood. "

" I have never seen you that happy hanzi chii? "

" Naani? "

" Iyeye akupai mood yakanaka kudai."

" Hahaha Imi aunty Eve kwanai nyaya modzida stereki anyway
ndichazokuudzai imi bikai chete ,actually do this, buritsai full chicken handiti,

116 | P a g e
then you marinate yese the way I showed you last time tichasoita mu oven I
need you to make nice lunch." She smiled and took out the full chicken from
the fridge to let it defrost.

" Saka inini maakundiitira chii nhai aunt?'

" Mati nyama ka ,ndiyoyi yakafreezer," akabva aseka ndikangoti zvakaoma I

ended up suggesting that she makes a sandwich with polon and cheese
ndokubva ndaenda kubedroom kwangu to look for a proper dress to fit the
occasion.i took one of the body hugging dresses I had bought in China ,I had
not worn it yet,then a pair of simple sandles ,ndakaisa paside then lay on the
bed, ndakazomuka when my food was ready ndokubva ndaenda kunodya.

I kept looking at my phone the whole time until kuma 2 that's when he said he
was by my gate, so I went into my room and changed into the dress I had
picked earlier,I quickly fixed my hair,ndaakubuda zvikanzi na aunt Eve, "aiwa
makachena jealous down."

Ndakaseka and said,"thanks." Ndakabuda and found him parked pagate,he

was nicely dressed in casual meaning he had not gone to work yet it was a
Monday, nowonder he had sounded sleepy earlier ,ndakasvika and stood by
the driver's side ndokubva aramba akanditarisa hake then rolled down the
window.

"Watii?" He asked then I smiled,"ko hesi inouraya here nhai Caston ."

" Hesi Natty."

" Hesi."

117 | P a g e
" Ndauya."

" Ndirikukuona."

We both laughed then he said,"are we going to talk with you standing

outside?"

" It will look as if ndakecha talking to you in the car parked outside the gate
,saka hande mumba."

" Handipinde mudzimba dzevanhu ini." Akabva avhara maziso like he was
really sleepy then I said,"unopinda mudzimba dzemazizi here buruka mhani
,apa unohope asi warara pabasa." He smiled and said," pabasa ripi manje?"

" Hamheno iwewe,basa rinoita kuti unete like the way you are ."

" I was out of town ,I came back very late so I wanted to relax all day but you
made sure kuti wandishungurudza anyway tione gumbo."

" Huya urionere mumba pano hapachaita." I saw him laughing then he jumped
out of his car, I was already walking going inside the gate ,ndakapinda then I
waited for him zvikanzi,"who do you stay with andidi kuzorohwa pano and in
not a fan of too many people."

" Chill I stay with my son and aunt vanoshanda pano."

" Mmm okay where's daddy vepano, vakadzi vevanhu vanotyisa."

" We parted ways 3 years ago aindiitisa."

118 | P a g e
" Hoo the same way yauri kuda kundiitisa nayo ka." I looked at him and said, "
imbomira kundigaira horror," then I opened the door then we went inside, the
house was very clean as always and thats the first thing he said,"mumba
makachena asi watsvaira just now?"

" Unodenha handiti!"

" Handiti unondidenhawo." Akabva agara pasi then put his feet on my table
ndakangoseka chinyararire, " would you like some juice?" I asked then he said
, "usandipfuhwire ,what do you have?"

"Zvakaona, there's almost everything."

" Ndipe chauri kuda kundipa iwewe." I got up then I went to the kitchen
zvikanzi na aunt,"ndaakunomirira mwana ku gate."

" Inga they blow the hooter kana vachinge vasvike what's the rush maitwa
sei?"

" Kutonyara kuzongopesuka pesuka pane hama yenyu ine munhuwi uri
kusvika kuno kwese, ungati adira gaba rese re perfume." Ndakaseka zvekuti
ndakatadza kuzvibata then I said, "ma cologne emari aunt Eve just a little bit
inozara kwese even if akakugumhai munosara nuchinhuhwirira hembe
dzese."

" Bva regai ndiuye nehembe dzese ndoita ndichichinja then ndomugumha
hangu zve no need to buy perfume."

" Hamhuna kukwana handiti lol,anyway just relax haatyise uyu."

119 | P a g e
" Aiwa kana anotyisa , smell yemunhu wemari inonzwika manje vakaita sesu
tinobva tatotiza ."

I shook my head then grabbed coke and Fanta and a glass then I put in a tray
ndokubva ndaenda nazvo kwaari then I gave him,he smiled zvikanzi, "urikuda
kundiponda nematypes ese handiti?"

" Ndangoti uite zvaunoda nawo."

" I love juice ,be it normal juice or fizzy drinks ndichatofa ne acid."

" Mira ndikupe mvura saka."

" Kwana Natty."

He relaxed then he began having ma drinks ake akanyarara watching TV apa I

was very nervous having him in my house I even took a photo of him
akavarairwa, I just did like i was on app,soon as I took it akabva ati,"saka

" Sorry I was replying my clients angu two minutes."

" Hoo saka wandidaidzirei kana uchiri kumboita zvemaclients ako because

" Hautane kubhowekana anditi?"

Cassy

I was getting tired of sitting in there ndakabva ndati, "I'm leaving ndaakuenda
ini."

Akaramba akanditarisa wondering if I was actually serious and if she hadn't

stopped me I was actually going to leave akabva ati, "imbomira we havent
even talked about business."

"Chitaura because ndanga ndatokanganwa zvandafambira."

She sighed then she said, "ndoda kutenga ma minerals. " I raised my brows not
sure if I had heard her correctly. " Minerals? "

" Yes minerals."

She looked serious so I said, "ok I'm listening, carry on."

"Ndatopedza Soo."

121 | P a g e
"Saka ndo business racho rekuti urikuda kutenga ma minerals lol, well if you
don't have a registered company kureva kuti urikuda kutenga under black
market and I told you earlier that I don't do black market. "

" Not having a company zvaakureva kuti I'm an ilegal dealer? "

" I'm glad you are very clever asi wangononoka hako kufunga." She looked
disappointed but I ignored her, kana business racho waitoshaya kuti
zvirikufamba sei. She sighed again and said, can't I buy under you? "

" Heee?" I held myself from laughing but I held my head trying to wonder kuti
kudzungaira here or what, zvanga zvisina kumufita ndakazoti, "it's my mine,
so you can't buy from me under my company, because andizvitengesere I'm
the one who sells. "

She laughed and said, " Yaa apa ndamakisa apa , anyway I really wanted
kungotenga nyangwe shoma, I'm trying to make a living and not depend on
anyone. "

" What do you do exactly?" I asked.

" I'm a runner I buy gadgets and clothes from China.

" Haa iyo China yanetsa, anyway, offer me a better deal not zvauri kutaura izvi,
dai watonditsvagira ma work suit akanaka for ma drivers angu then
tozotaura. "

Akabva aseka zvekuseka zviya and said, "ndiri type yekutengesa ma work suit
inini? sure unoda kuita Mari wega usingade kundibatsira ndazviona. "

122 | P a g e
" Ukabatwa uinaro usina company unoda kusungisa inini manje ? Kanganwa
ngatitaure zvimwe .

"Okay kana zve business zvaramba let's have food I hope hauna kudya?"

" Wabikei?"

" Chicken."

" Nei?"

" Chips and salad."

I wanted to say no but I was actually hungry, I ended up agreeing then she
brought the food ,it sure looked delicious, ndakabva ndachekerwa zipiece
zihombe from the full chicken that was in a bowl, ndikanzi ndidye ndipedze.
Semunhu aive nenzara I smiled and began enjoying the food ,the chicken was
very juicy it reminded me of Whitney's chicken.

"What's wrong ?" she asked aona ndamira kudya.

" Nothing ndipe lemon."

" Uda kuisa muchicken?"

"Yes."

"Mmmm interesting." She got up then went to get the lemon ndookuuya naro
rakachekwa in half ,I took half and squeezed it on the chicken,all I wanted was
Whitney's chicken ,Natty akaramba akanditarisa then she took the other half
and did what I had done and then she tasted.

123 | P a g e
"Wow this is nice Caston ,asi you can cook as well?"

"I don't have time to cook but yes I can cook although the lemon trick is a trick
yaiitwa na someone ."

" A lady? Your wife?"

" Lol."

" Wasekei?"

" Yea someone I loved .'

" You are nolonger together ?"

What a question !I wasn't sure if we were together or not nekuti I walked

away but we never told each other that it was over ,I could not even answer
that question ,but not calling and communicating,did it mean it was over? It
was depressing trying to get the correct answer but anyway she was married,
so it was over ,there was never us in the first place she was someone's wife.

" I can't answer that,can we not talk about my private life please ."

"I'm sorry I asked."

Pakabva papinda kamukomana about 5 years with the aunt that worked for
her ,he stood looking at me hamheno kuti aifungei then the mother
said,"staring is rude Ethan go and greet mommy's friend ."

He slowly walked towards me ,a little scared I figure, so I smiled at him

ndookubva asvika and said ,"hello."

124 | P a g e
" How are you?"

"I'm fine ,how are you." He answered buying his nails.

"Better than you." I answered stretching my hand out to him then he gave me
a handshake.

He forced a smile then he went to greet his mother.

"Meet my son Ethan." She said looking at me . "He is a cute boy." I said,
ndokubva ndaramba ndakamutarisa ,he surely was cute and I began
wondering if I had had a son ,how old would he have been and who would he
have looked like.

" Are you okay?" Natty asked aona ndaramba ndakatarisa mwana wake.

"Mmm ,I'm okay my mind had drifted ." Ethan went with the aunt then we
carried on eating until we were done ,andina kuzomuona after that, after
chatting for a while ,It was getting late I wanted to go home saka ndakabva
ndaoneka.

" Thanks a lot the food was awesome."I said getting up to go.

" It was nice having you around ."

" Sure see you."

I waved bye as i got into my car ,I passed by semi Levi and as I was about to
turn to go home ,I saw Whitney by the bustop waiting for a kombi,I don't
know what made me keep driving until I stopped paside pake,she looked

125 | P a g e
confused until she saw me so I rolled down the window then I said, "get in ."
She seemed a bit hesitant ndokubva azopinda .

" How are you sir ?" She said as soon as she got in,she was smelling nice
ndakatombomira kufunga then I said, " sir vako ndiani?" She didn't answer me
ndokubva ndafambisa hangu mota ,I had no intentions of going to her house
but hamheno I decided to take her home.

"Are you going to marimba or kuwadzana?"

She went quiet then after some seconds she said," i don't stay in kuwadzana
anymore.

" I see." We drove to Marimba quietly then her phone began ringing ,she was
holding in her hands hamhenoo chakanditi tarisa ,tese takaitarisa at the same
time and it was Stern calling ,takabva tatarisana and hasha dzangu dzakabva
dzatokwidza ipapo ipapo,I could have stopped the car and told her to get on
the taxi but I remained calm yet burning inside ,being near Whitney was just
bad for me. The phone kept ringing then I said, "aren't you going to answer
him?"

"No."

" Because I'm here?"

" No, because I don't want to."

" Okay."

126 | P a g e
We got to marimba takanyarara and her phone kept ringing until yadzimwa
,taakutonosvika kumba kwavo that's when we saw Stern akamira opposite the
house .

"Please stop the car." I looked at her and said ,why?"

" Because andisikuda kuonekwa na Stern."

" I see ." We both went quiet then I began playing soft music until she said
,"you didn't go to work?"

" Yes I needed to rest."

" If you needed to rest then what were you doing near our offices?"

" I was going back home."

" From?"

I looked at her ndokubva ndaramba ndakanyarara ,she looked damn pretty I

quickly looked away then she said,"its non of my business sorry I asked ."

"Coming from a friend's house." I had no idea why I didn't want her to think
that I may be seeing someone else .

" I see." She said and looked out the window.

We both sighed and we both said each other's names at once.

" You go first." She said then I said,"no,you go first."

127 | P a g e
She looked out the window then she said ," I'm sorry for everything." Her
words really hurt.she continued, "I never meant to hurt you ."

"Yea but you did ,anyway it's in the past."

" Is it really in the past?" She asked looking at me .

" Your betrayal hurt me more than any woman has ever hurt me ,I can't lie
that I'm okay ,but I will be fine ."

" Again I'm sorry and I'm sorry I fell in love with you even when I should not
have."

" You hurting me more."

" Okay I take back the last part."

We looked at each other without blinking until I decided to break the

awkward moment,but I was staring at her lips ndakazongoti.

" It's fine ,but I never got a goodbye kiss."

I don't even know why I said it but I said it maybe I really missed kissing her
,she was very shy to look at me but I wanted that goodbye kiss even if were
not going to be together I needed it."

" Tyney."

She looked at me ,I could not stopped myself I went for her lips.

Chapter 18

Whitney

I began feeling scared as he moved his head closer to mine , ndaisaziva if he

was teasing me or not takasvika pakugumana mhanza,ndichiri pakati
pekufunga he hungrily kissed my lips and I knew it was real, ropa richibva
ramhanya my whole body kudaira ndakatonzwa kuzvinyarira,yet it felt Soo
good I didn't want him to stop apa he had no idea how much I needed that kiss
, I kissed him back zvekumuudza kuti I want you chaizvo without delay I put
my hand behind his neck, pandakanzwa avakuisa maoko ake muhembe
mangu ndakamerera nekunonokerwa zvese,still hangu I was scared kuti he
would stop but he didn't stop, I could feel him unhooking my bra , his hands
went right on my very sensitive nipples and I moaned .

" Cassy . " I said breathing Soo heavy , he didn't answer he began kissing me
again and touching me like he wanted me to die , I was moaning like I didn't
care about anything else and for that moment I didn't care kana kuti

129 | P a g e
ndamboina stern padhuze I didn't care , ndainzwa kuda kuita zvakawanda but
I didn't wanna move things too fast ,we still had a lot of issues I guess
takafungirana ndokubva andisiya, it was getting dark since it was winter and i
wondered kuti sei Stern asina kuona mota or maybe because Cassy was using
a different car akatadza kuiziva, besides we were a distance from the house
zvaitoda munhu anoiziva to be able to spot it, thank goodness his car was
tinted or else tainzwa nekuonekwa nemota dzaipfuura ndakambozvivhunza
kuti zvangu zvivindi zvaive zvei but luckily area yedu was not crowded mota
dzaidarika one one saka I was a bit relaxed .

After the kiss ndanga ndaakunyara to tell him to fix my bra so I began trying to
fix it alone ndokubva andibata maoko , akabva atanga kuvhura ma buttons e
shirt yangu,nekutya ndakatarisa kwandainge ndaona stern but he was gone
already maybe akabhowekana nekundishaya and kunze kwanga kwasviba,
anyway I watched what Cassy was doing ndikatanga kufemeruka futi
nekungovhura kwaaiita mabuttons, paakazoisa maoko ese on my breast
achibata and sucking them I almost screamed .

"Cassy, Cassy please don't do this to me,"He didn't stop then I began squeezing
him,trying to touch him we're I could .

" Cassy please .. don't do this to me." Akabva awedzera kundibata ndanga
ndaakudedera I had to hold his hands to stop him takabva tatarisana ,he was
looking very horny and soo was I but we had to stop.

"I'm sorry ." He said but I didn't want him to be sorry,he's sorry meant he
regretted everything and that made me feel bad.

130 | P a g e
"Don't ever say you are sorry because my body has ever only known real
pleasure through your hands. "

He looked confused then he said ," and what do you mean by that?"

" I mean what I just said, no man has ever made me feel what I feel when you
touch me. "

I could see he did not wanna talk about it akabva ati, "thank you for that
goodbye kiss, I missed kissing you. "

"it's late I have to go , ndaisada kunzwa zvimwe zvaizondibhowa. Akanditarisa

then he said, "saka urikuenda kupi like this?" Aitaura achibata bra rangu , I
almost laughed kuti dzungu rangu, akabva anditi, "turn around," I turned then
he began fixing my bra paakapedza then he said , "chienda mumba it's late
unopinda ma1 namama."

Ndakaseka ndikati, mama vanoziva kuti ndiri mukadzi mukuru. "

"Asi wava baby zve nekuti uri kugara pamba namama wadzokera pakuita
baby. "

"Lol ah iwe handisi mwana ini. "

" Eho shamwari yangu.

" Saka we are now friends? " I asked ndakamutarisa then he said, "at least we
can be friends without feeling guilty. "

" I understand, saka good bye friend . "

131 | P a g e
He started the car ndokubva aifambisa kusvika pagedhi zvikanzi, " chipinda
ndichikuona."

"Haa iwee."

"Ehe pinda."

"Kuti ndingaende kupiko?"

" Hapana, ndoda kungoona kuti wapinda chete. " I smiled then jumped out of
the car ndokubva ndavhura gedhi nekutopinda ,ndakatombozembera gedhi
unable to believe that we had kissed and touched ,ndakazobva ndanzwa
kufamba kwemota ndokubva ndafamba ndichipinda mumba .ndakasvika
maiguru vari ku kitchen ,ndokwandakananga ndikavamhoresa with a smile on
my face,zvikanzi,

" Ko chii chaitika ."

"Maakundiita semunhu anogara akasunga face ibvaipo."

"Ndoda kuziva ka chakunakidzai."

" Cassy dropped me off ."

" Cassy Cassy boss?"

" Umwe ndeupi?" Vakabva vaseka zvikanzi,"dropped you off chete here kana
kuti pane zvimwe zvaitika ?"

" Haa maiguru kwanai hapana zvimwe zvaitika,apa ndabva ndaona Stern Ari
pagedhi ndosaka ndanonoka kupinda."

132 | P a g e
" Haiwa kunonoka nekuda kwemukuwasha wangu here kana kuti manga
monakirwa henyu nezvanga zvichiitika mumota imomo."

Ndakanyara ndikati," ndaakuenda hamuna nyaya."

" Saka madzokerana?"

" No,it was actually goodbye ,at least goodbye to our previous relationship ,we
are now at least trying to be friends,not kuti tatova shamwari but kuzama
kuva ma friends ,I'm just happy kuti at least we talked a little and haasisina
kunditsamwira zvekusatoda kutaura neni."

" How can you be friends when you were that inlove ,are you going to forget
kuti maidanana?"

" It's hard but we both don't want to be feeling guilty ,at least that's what he
said ,not wanting to be guilty."

" Ini hangu ndoona semunodanana asi moda kungonyeperana henyu

muchiudzana kuti maakuita ma friends ,regai ndinyarare ,how will you feel if
you see him moving on with someone else and iyewo already nyaya ya Stern
iri kumurwadza, hamheno henyu ,I hope you won't suffer a heartbreak if you
allow yourself to get Soo close to him knowing you are still married to
Stern,right now you are both still emotional and hamusi kuziva zvekuita ,very
soon he will want to move on Akaona muchiri mese na Stern, handisi kuti
don't be friends but just be careful."

What she said was depressing kana kufara kwese kwakabva kwapera and
imagining him with someone else surely hurt , ndakazongosimuka then I went

133 | P a g e
to greet mama na daddy ndokubva ndaenda kunogeza ,nekuti after zvandaive
ndaitwa I needed to bath urgently. Ndakambomira kugeza then I imagined
kuti dai tanga tirikumba kwake zvaizofamba sei, pandakanzwa maiguru
calling me to come and have dinner ndipo pandakazobudamo then I went to
join them.

Later on I spoke to Natalia about my orders, I had managed to create an app

group ranga raatone vanhu making orders and I had already decided kuti
handisi kudzokera shure. Akandisimbisa kuti zvinoita chete and the next day
ndakabva ndatotenga zvandaida zvacho online ndakasangana na Natalia pa
lunch that's when she helped me nezvese , making payments and everything
else.

" Watopedza Soo munin'ina kwasara kuuya kwezvinhu and it's good to order
ne ma extras for those that havent made orders yet, and by the time inosvika
zvinhu zvako ,unenge waatone ma orders mamwe, very soon you will get the
hang of things . "

" I owe you a lot I would not have done it without you

"You dont owe me anything, iwewe Shanda wanzwa, in three months ndoda
kuona mota and hautadze kuitenga. "

" Ndakaseka , haa natty had Soo much confidence, i guess semunhu aiva agara
mu Industry she knew a lot more than I knew , ini I was clueless zvachose and
I was depending on her to help me, anyway we finished our lunch then she left
for her deliveries ini ndokubva ndadzokera kubasa. Ndichingopinda ndakabva

Whitney

The phone kept ringing and ndaitononokerwa nekudaira kwake ,yakasvika

pakukata but I didn't give up I still called him again then he answered,"Ndeip
babie."

" No stern haudaro mhani."

"Ko ndaita sei futi."

"Imbomira this babie thing or maybe you are not understanding me

,Ndakakuudza wani kuti inini newe hazvisi kuita handiti,saka zvekufona
kubasa kwangu wazviitirei?"

" Handiti ndanga ndichifonera mukadzi wangu?"

" No stern you and I are not together anymore ."

136 | P a g e
" Wakazviudzwa naani izvozvo? Pane akamboti it's over pakati pedu here?"

I took a deep breath stern aitondiwedzera stress and he wasn't getting me

kunyepedzera kunge aisatonzwa zvandaitaura."urikuda kuti ndiite
zvekuchena here kuti undinzwisise, andichada Stern and get me right ,I have
decided to move on with my life and I don't want you in it."

" Waakundijairira manje Whitney ,you don't talk to me like that wazvinzwa,all
along I have been playing nice with you but haunzwe handiti, you can't ask me
why I called kubasa ,nekuti whenever I try calling you on your phone you
ignore me ,so you think by ignoring me I will back off just like that?"

" Urikuda ndisheedzere kuti andichada nhai?"

" Iwe iwe ndidzikamire wazvinzwa, handisi mwana wako,is there ever a day in
the two years that we were married randakambokubata rough? I know
marriage ain't Soo rosy but how dare you treat me like ndiri mwana
mudiki,wakuda kundiita benzi because wafunga kuita zva Cassy,wachivaka
Mari manje ?you are forgetting all about us just because of some stupid
mistake that I made,I came to your house nyangwe ndaiziva kuti your brother
might hit me like the last time, but still I came ,ndakagadzikwa mukona
ndikaita semuranda but I didn't care nekuti i was doing it for you,ndakanzi
mombe two ndikati ehe nyangwe ndisina mari yacho yekudzitenga but
because it's you,it's you Whitney, I'm willing to do it ,chii chiri pandiri
chisingachinjike Whitney ,am I Soo messed up that you can't accept or respect
me as your husband ,wagarwa ne anti marriage spirit handiti zvekuti
waakutondiona sendinosemesa?

137 | P a g e
" The problem is you don't get me kana ndichitaura newe, ndinenge
ndichitaura ndega Stern,I'm not saying that you are Soo bad ,no you are not
,and yes I do cherish the moments we were together stern but things have
changed you introduced a third person pakati pedu and you shouldn't have
mhani,I loved you, i loved you with every bit of me Stern, but you made me
love another."

" You can't tell me that andisi kuda kuzvinzwa."

" That's the problem ,you decide to be deaf when you feel like being deaf but
hazviite mhani ,I told you last time that I slept with Caston and I repeat ,I slept
with Caston ,I couldn't stop myself okay ,I betrayed you and you betrayed me
too ,I actually know it but you will never admit it to me ,saka tell me what kind
of relationship do we have when it's all lies ,urikuti marriage? Which marriage
nhaiwe when all we are doing now is hurt each other ."

" You slept with him ?"

" Yes Stern and believe me I'm sorry I didn't mean to but hamheno,I fell for
him , it was soo hard pretending to be his woman when all he ever did was be
good to me."

"Shiiiit ,I could have defended you with my life , actually when you told me
ndakati wakandinyepera because I could never picture my wife ever doing
that to me ,not Whitney wangu ,just impossible ,so now you are telling me his
love or your love for him ndiyo yaita undikanganwe kudai?"

" It's not that Stern ,its because I want to be free for now I'm in a state of
confusion right now and I need space ."

138 | P a g e
" It's because of Caston handiti?"

" No it's not because of him but whatever happened pakati pedu has affected
me and I know kuti kugara tese takadai after what happened doesn't make
sense."

" We need to to talk Whitney."

" We are talking ."

" No not on the phone I can't talk to my wife over the phone, it doesn't make
sense ,we need to meet and talk ,if ever this will be the last thing you will ever
do for me,I'm tired of not knowing ,I'm tired of being unsure and needing
more and more details ,hatina kuita marriage yekumanikidzwa Whitney, don't
treat me like I'm nothing,whatever you want me to tell you I will tell you
paunondiona."

Akabva atokata phone ndikasara ndapusa,ndakanzwa kuzvishora ,it was time

to meet and talk ,he was my husband after all kana taizorambana obviously
we had to meet in person kwete zvepafoni, zvaiitwa nemukomana
nemusikana kwete husband and wife, in as much as takatadzirana, I still had
to respect him ,my head was all crowded nema thoughts are Caston but Stern
was human too.

I guess I was really being selfish and besides,in the three months that I had
known Cassy I had changed a lot and it was as if ndanga ndaakungofunga
chinhu one ndichiona kunge ndini ndanga ndanyanya kutadzirwa stereki,the
truth is I had screwed up and iniwo futi ndanga ndarwadzisa Stern because of
my actions ,the tone of his voice pandakamuudza for the second time kuti

139 | P a g e
ndakarara na Cassy rakanzwika kurwadziwa zvakanyanya.ndakatanga
kumunzwa achiti ,I could have defended you a million times,ndakanzwa
misodzi yavakuyerera ,I had hurt my husband badly, I had told him with the
intension of making him back off but surely I had hurt him, it was nothing to
be proud off. I began wondering what he was doing,if he was at work, then he
had to be very stressed,all because I failed to keep my legs closed.

I watched my phone ringing ,ndakatya kana kuitarisa kuti ndione kuti ndiyani,
ndainzwa chest yangu ichirwadza the guilt conscience was too
much.ndakazvimanikidza ndikasimudza ndikaona vari mama Mai

" Sei tisingatukane?"

" Nekuti muri Mai vangu ini ndiri mwana wenyu."

" Zvandiri Mai vako wakadii kundiudza kuti pane zviri kunetsa kumba?"

Ndakaramba ndakanyarara, ndakanzwa shungu and I began crying ,I loved

her ,I loved her like my own mother.

140 | P a g e
" Handisi kuda kunzwa kuchema Whitney ,iwe neni takawirirana kubva
pakutanga ,ndikakuudza ndikati mwanangu Whitney nyangwe zviite sei uri

Ndakabva ndatowedzera kuchema kwacho." Mama uko handiko mazuvano

" What are you doing here?" I finally asked

"Had a meeting that just ended ,why are your eyes swollen like you were

Whitney

I kept staring at him not sure how to tell him and it was awkward having to
tell him kuti ndanga ndiri kuchema nekuti Stern Ari kuti ndiuye titaurirane
,kwaive kuchema kwedofo I ended up saying, " he can be pushy sometimes
anyway I will be fine."

He never commented instead he got up and then he went to buy another slice
of cake ndokubva auya naro necoffee for himself , akaisa on the table then he
said. "Cake rako, ndaona ziso rawanga uchindipa. "

"How did you see how I was looking at you when you were concerntrating Soo
much on the cake? "

" I can concentrate on a lot in things all at once. " He picked up his coffee and
began drinking it ndichibva ndati, "are you trying to lose sleep with all that
coffee ?"

144 | P a g e
" As if you dont like coffee anyway I need to travel tonight saka I have to stay
awake."

" Where are you going ? "

" Kadoma , ndicharara ikoko. "

The thought of kadoma yakandidzosa kumashure to the events that happened

there.i didn't know what to do ,ndakanyara zvokuti apa he kept staring at me
and I was shy to even eat my cake ndakabva ndazongotora fork and took a big
slice of cake ndikazadza mukanwa I almost choked, ndokubva andirova
musana.

" Are you trying to kill yourself ?" He said then he gave me his coffee to drink. I
remained quiet for a while because I was coughing still. Akatanga
kundipuruzira musana , his hands on me was always a big problem, ndaida
amabvise nekuti ndainge ndava right, takabva tatarisana kwekanguva
somehow our lips met again. It was a very slow intimate kiss ndakazobva
paari then I said , "this is wrong remember we are friends." He didn't say
anything ,then he began drinking his coffee, inini manje I had no idea what to
do next ,things had just gone worse awkward but hamheno ndainzwa kuti dai
aramba achindibata .

"Ndaakuenda." He said getting up then I said , "I'm also going." I got up

ndokubva tamira takatarisana , his eyes were saying a lot of things to me , I
knew that he was feeling whatever I was feeling anyway I said, I will take you
to your car then I will go to my office. "

145 | P a g e
" That would be nice. " he said then we walked to his car but then he said ,"let
me take you to your office. "

I smiled and said ,"that would be nice. "

He walked with me then we greeted Rudo on the way ndokubva tapinda mu

office. "Ndakusvitsa ndaakuenda," he said then I nodded . I don't know how
we thought of a friendly hug , we hugged but both of our hands began
touching each other pasina atuma mumwe in seconds we were breathing
heavily, we looked at each other and he said , "one more time?" I quickly
nodded . He locked the door and came for me, in a few minutes all of our
clothes were on the floor I could not wait , he touched me there and he saw
how wet I was , he then turned me around ndikabatiswa desk ndikasimudzira
gumbo, akagumhisa a little ndikaita seyapinda , the way yaaitambira pa door
ndakaita sendichachema kuti ndanzwa please.

"Cassy please."

" Yees ."

" I want you please ." I said with a begging voice.

He stopped teasing me then I felt him enter and opening the walls of feminine
going further inside ,I closed my eyes and bit my lips as he began rocking me, I
didnt know I had missed him that much so I joined him following his lead. It
was the nicest and craziest feeling I ever had and I didn't know if the last time
would be the last time.for a while he kept going, he stopped and came out I
wanted to say , "what the hell but he cleared the desk then put me there ,
again he entered me with my legs around his waist , he reached for my breast

146 | P a g e
and my whole body screamed for him I felt myself coming . "Cassy I'm dying
please."

" I haven't killed you yet."

" Cassy please."

" Hold on tight ." He said and gave me hard ones I squeezed his hands ,"Tyney.
" He said as we both released and the pressure was too much.After that I was
really shy I reached for my purse then I took out tissue and cleaned myself up
and him as well. We both dressed up then he said you need to freshen up
hande. "

" Kupi? "

" Let's just go. " He said then I took my bag ndokubva tabuda, takasvika Pana
rudo then he said, "Ndaakumboba munhu wenyu ndirikuenda naye ku head
office." She smiled and said , "ok sir. "

Nekunyara I didn't say anything I followed him to his car and we both got
inside and left , I saw the direction he took and I knew kuti he was taking me
to his house , I didn't say anything , takasvika then he took me to the guest
room and showed me where the bathroom was ndokubva ndapinda and
began bathing , ndaakutopedza he joined me then again we did it in the
shower, "I'm sorry I can't have enough." He whispered biting my ear the
moment we both came again. The whole thing was confusing me he was
making me fall deeper. The kisses didnt stop ndakazoti, I have to go home
remember. "

147 | P a g e
" I will take you home . "

" Nomore this Cassy, nomore kissing nomore sex please. "

He looked at me and never said a word , he dressed up and said ," hauna

" Saka urikuda kudya chii? "

" I don't know , anything chine nyama. "

" Ok cool hande. "

We left his house then went to Shangri-la,where we had had our first lunch

Cassy

I wondered what i was doing and what I had done , it felt like a recipe for
disaster, being unable to let go of Whitney and very unable to resist her,her
body yaindibatidza magetsi and zvakaita kuti my thoughts Ave unstable all the
way to kadoma, ndaingofunga what had happened between us ndakatanga
kuseka kuti,was it really our last time. The thought of me inside her gave me
more even more wild imaginations, feeling my body react to the thoughts of
her ,nzira yacho yakandiitira padhuze stereki and I had no idea how I had
travelled so fast777 Ndakasvika
ndikananga kumine ndichida kuona munhu wandainoona and ndakamuwana
achiri akandimirira .

" Boss manga maakunonoka."

" Boss avanonoke Jedza, hesi?" He laughed and said ," I wish dai ndanga

" Ndipo pamunozondiponda kaipapo pakutanga kushuvira kuti dai uri inini."
151 | P a g e
"Andizofarise hangu kusvika ipapo." He laughed zvikanzi,"ko maface enyu a

" Ndiweka ungatondiudza kuti zvirikufamba sei"

" Ndakanzwa vachitaurirana nana Choppa nezvekupinda Pasi,andina kuda

ndakazonzwa vaakuvhunzwa naMagasa kuti ndiyani ati vapinde Pasi,

" I see ..saka Choppa ari mudeal racho nhai?"

" Vapfanha ava approached him vachiti kuna buyer ari Ku offer mari hombe
for the next lot saka vanepressure yekuwana gold asap for buyer wacho that's
why varikuda kupinda vega kuti vawane rakawanda."

I smiled ndokubva ndanyarara hangu because i was the buyer ,I was bringing
in Oliver ,my brother, he was going to represent me ,nekuda kwebasa rake he
enjoyed being unknown and being undercover, so this meant all was in order
so I told Jedza to allow them kuti vapinde Pasi.

" Are you sure ?"

" Yes I have everything under control ,pavanouya pacho vasiye vapinde." He
laughed an said, "murikurongei boss?"

" Uchataura na Oliver ndichati akubate."

152 | P a g e

" Lol mweya wakashata ndiwo upi manje?"

saka ndakabva ndangoisa my laptop pacharger and began working ,i had a lot

154 | P a g e
" Hoo George ,asi you are best buddies now?" I don't even know why I asked
but another man compliment her annoyed me ,she was a very pretty woman,
ndakazozviudza kuti even though she was a pretty woman,she wasn't my

" mmmm ,i said ," then she said, "what? "

I sighed and said ,"ndaakunzwa hope ini ,i need to sleep." She took a moment
to answer then she said," already ?"

" mmhhmm...you should sleep too."

" okay goodnight, "she said ndokubva ndaisa phone on the side ,after about 5
minutes I picked my phone up and went back online and she was still
there,amheno I felt a little jealous, I found myself saying, "Tyney rara mhani."

" I can't sleep ." she said .

" Are you chatting to him?" That was a stupid question I quickly said, "don't
answer that, it was stupid of me to ask."

" what if I wanna answer that?"

" don't ."

" we don't chat." She said ,ndakaramba ndakatarisa that message and I don't
even know why I smiled.

"I'm in the room we used before ." I said.

" yes." She sent smiling and blushing emojis ."

We ended up speaking till 1 am ,I was exhausted and ndakanonoka kumuka

makuseni acho,i had nothing to rush for so anyway I had my bath and my

akafarisa chaizvo kuri kuratidza kuti anondida chaizvo, I mainted my cool
kusvikandasimuka ndaakudzokera then I said goodbye kuna Jedza.
Ndirimuroad Natty called me zvikanzi, "wakandinyepera caston ," I already
knew what she meant so I said, " haudarozve."

" inini manje? Ko why didn't you tell me hako kuti you just didn't want me to

" Tjoo ayo anodhura kaayo? "

" Handiti zvinodhura ndizvo zvine Mari , saka wona zvekuita before I change

156 | P a g e
" Ko dai wakandiudza that day kumba unofunga kuti ndainetsana newe here?

" Good girl waakutaura zvine musoro manje. " She laughed zvikanzi ," asi

" Ndaita sei? "

" Hapana, " she laughed ndookubva akata phone ndikasara ndichiseka hangu,
one thing I liked about her as a person was the fact yekuti aizama kutsvaga
Mari , instead yekuti ndipoo Mari yechakati she opted to say ndiitise
madhiri,as long as asingadye mari yangu mahara I had no problem with her.
Anyway I decided to look for Oliver ,i had no idea where he was but I needed
him for a reason , he's the one that was perfect for my next move....
Pandakamufonera he mentioned that he was in Warren park hamheno

Kubva zvandaudzwa na mai Pee kuti kwa Stern hakuna kumira zvakanaka my

varikunetsana,baba Sharon hanzvadzi yangu ndakavhunza zvikangonzi zviri

settled, I had a feeling yekuti pane zvandiri kuvanzirwa ndosaka ndakasvika
pakufonera muroora wangu ndega nekuti munhu wese aindiita benzi.
Ndaisatoziva kuti Whitney wacho arikupi Mai Pee ainge ati haasi kuziva kuti
arikupi. Anyway I packed my small back , my fear was that maybe Stern aive
andivhiringira zvinhu pamuroora wangu.

The night before I left ndakatombotaura nababa stern ndichiti, " saka nhai
ndonozvifambisa sei hanzvadzi yenyu iri ku south and obviously
haambobvume kufambira kuti kumba kwa Stern kwaita problem. "

" Mmm zvakaoma saka hanzvadzi yako yakazoti chii?"

159 | P a g e
" Baba Sharon varikungojamba Jamba, vanhu vacho vanenge matsotsi kubva
zvandamutsiura aakuda kuita chihure takabva taburana , angorine nyaya yake
yekuti makanditadzisa kuroora mukadzi wandaida. "

" Ah Ivo tsano vaida kuroora mumwe mukadzi Ivo vatokura kudaro here nhai,
sometimes we just give ourselves unnecessary burdens .

"Haaiwawo anopenga, apa ndiri kutoshaya zvekuita Asi ndichatanga ndaenda

naiko kwamai Pee ambonyatso kundiudza kuti chii chiri kuitika , dai ndaiziva
Kuna Whitney wacho aripi ndaingonanga ikoko handina kuzomuvhunza

" Mmm zvinoita zvakanaka , apa ndambofonerwa na Simon hanzi vakanetsana

" Hezvo! Kuti zvaita sei futi ? "

" Hamheno ndamuti ko munin'ina wako arisei zvikanzi hatisi kutaudzana

" Hanzi akataura kuti chii? "

" Hanzi akatuka maiguru zvinonyadzisira zvaatadza kundiudza hamheno kuti

I could feel kuti musoro wangu waive padhuze nekutenderera chaiko stern
was becoming a problem, kana kuti hugotwe here waimutambudza hamheno.
"

160 | P a g e
" Saka hanzi pakusvika pakutuka maiguru zvinonyadzisa zvaive zvafamba sei?
"

" Hanzi zvakanzi maiguru ndimi makafona kumusha mukataura kuti

varikunetsana nemukadzi. '

" Zvaanoshura nhaimi, zvaachabva nhumbu mukadzi wa Simon nekupomerwa

mhosva isiri yake.

Ndakanzwa hasha ,I had no idea kuti ndizvo zvaiitika , everything was such a
mess ndakabva ndatononokerwa nekuenda kunoona zvaiitika, I decided to go
kumba kwa Simon first ndimbonoona kuti zvaifamba sei ndikabva ndasiyana
nezve kwamai Pee. On Friday ndakamuka very early ndaida kusvika
nekukasika at least dzaizongoita 3 hours from Mutare to harare. Ba Simon
vakandisiya ndatokwira and I was lucky I found chicoster chaive chasara
munhu one kuti chisimuke and just asI expected, we got to harare on time
ndokubva ndatonanga Warren park kwa Simon,vaisatoziva kuti ndirikuuya

"Hiii mama ko hamuna kutaura kuti manga muchiuya nhaimi." I smiled as she
took my bag ndikati," hesi kani Mai Muchena,ndangoerekana ndafunga
rwendo ini."

"Magona mauya mama, iye zvino kufamba kuri kudhura ,kuuya kumusha
kwaakunetsa."

" Muchationa tafa tose."

161 | P a g e
She laughed zvikanzi,"Aiwa mama hamufe zvekumhanya." We got inside the
house ndookubva ndambozorora zvangu ndakagara ,Aida kundigadzirira
something to eat asi ndakati kwete semunhu aiwacha ndakati apedze hake
kuwacha,ndaive ndisati ndavane nenzara .paakanowacha ndipo

" Makadii sisi."

" Tiripi ko murisei imimi?"

" Tirivapenyu kurisei kwamutare?"

" Ndirikuno Harare ini kumba kwa Simon ndaida kukuonai."

" Hoo maida kundiona riini?"

"Haa kana mangwana kana zvichiita?"

" Ok tinoonana."

Takapedzerana ndipo pandakamboita nguva ndakagara hangu ndega sepamba

paive pasina vana, pakapedza muroora kuwacha ndipo paakauya aakuronga
hake zvekubika , ndainzwa kurwadziwa nemakuhwa aive aitirwa muroora
wangu. Ndakambotura befu ndookuzoti, "Mai Muchena ini ndauya, nyaya
yakasvika munzeve dzangu haina kundiitira mushe zvichinzi makanetsana na
bamdiki venyu nekuda kwemakuhwa."

Just like me akatura befu then she said." Mama zvakaoma kana kuti nditi
mweya hwai wakasimuka handitozivi ,bamnini vakangofona nekutanga
kupopota ini ndisingatozive and nyaya yacho inini handitozive zvakawanda

162 | P a g e
ini and mama shuwa ndine musi wandakakufonerai here ndichitaura kuti

" Aiwa hauna mwanangu and ndirikutonyara nazvo ndosaka ndati nditange

Ndakaona kuti shungu dzaivepo nekuti akabva atanga kuchema , mabasa a

Stern aive akawoma chokwadi ndaitoshaya kwekutarisa

Akazopedzisa kubika ndookubva tadya tikatanga kutandara , ndakazofonera

" Sorry henyu mama asi mangwana pane zvandirikuita ndogona kutadza

163 | P a g e
Ndakabva ndatokata phone asati aenda mberi nekuti I already knew that he

" Mwana wenyu makajaidza mama haaterere, iye zvino ane nyaka nyaka

Chapter 23

Stern.

Ndakapindwa nechando thinking of what mamam had said , going to my

brothers house meant that I had to apologise to him and his wife, ndakanzwa
kusvotwa nekuti I had to lose my pride and go there ini ndanga ndazviudza
kuti I would never ever go there, mama vanga vandivhiringira kwaitongova
kuvanyara semubereki or else I would have said no,i struggled sleeping in the
night nekufunga chete, ndakamuka and went to the lounge and began
watching TV ndiri ndega.panguva yandaive ndaakuda kutobatwa nehope
ndakanzwa ma foot steps emunhu aifamba mupassage , I got up ndikati
matsotsi apinda mumba pandainge ndaakubatwa nehope.i picked up a
cushion,thinking kuti ndikaibata I would suffocate mbavha yacho.
ndakanyatsonyangira and walked slowly ndangangoona like muvhuri
wemunhu ndaakuda kupinda pa passage, ndakabva ndamujambira tikadonha
tese pasi...

When I heard a female scream that's when I stopped to check kuti ndiyani
then I saw Mavis apa akapfeka ka nightie that left all of her thighs out apa see

166 | P a g e
though zvayo, I actually saw everything hapana kana chakasara , I got lost
ndokubva ndaramba ndakatarisa.

" Nhai bamkuru ko chii?" She said trying to push me off,I slowly got off her
ndokubva ndamira paside iye kwaakuedza kuvhara mazamu one rainge
rabuda panze from the nightie.i tried looking away but somethings are just
hard not to look at ndakadzosera maziso ikoko achibva Asimuka fast.

"Sorry I thought kuti imbavha ."

" Mbavha inobvepiko,munomu nhai,mbava inouya makuseni akadai here it's

only 11.

" Iwewe wanga uchienda kupiko?" I said feeling annoyed."

"Ndanga ndichienda ku toilet zve nhai?"

" Kutoilet wakapfeka zvakadaro ,washaya something else to wear,why would

you wear something like that knowing kuti ndiripo?"

" Handiti maenda kunorara Kare and besides this is the way I dress when I go
to sleep ,hapana chachinja ,changochinja ndechekuti you happened to be
watching TV and you thought I was a thief mukabva mandiona."

" Chipfeka ka saka urikuda kuti ndirambe ndakatarisa here?" Her slowness
was serious sometimes,to think kuti ndiye munhu anga akamborara pasi
achivhara mukaka wake wandainge ndaona Kare, then minutes later she was
standing achitaura neni forgetting that she was naked,ndakabva ndatanga
kufamba going back to the lounge ,I couldn't sit down, I went to the kitchen to
drink water trying to forget zvandainge ndaona ,I began wondering if it was a
trap kana kuti aitongodawo kuva muyedzo mu life mangu,ndakanzwa hasha

167 | P a g e
ndokubva ndadzokera kulounge ndikaita kuzvikanda,I never saw her again
until the next morning pandakamuka ndichiona ndaisirwa mvura inodziya ,
she was avoiding eye contact neni ndikabva ndamuti.

" I told you kuti handidi hot water then you gave me hot water urikuedza kuita
sei." She didn't look at me,still she kept looking down then she said, "kuri
kutonhora I thought you might need it but haisi problem futi mogona
kungoisiya futi."

Ndakamutarisa and the vision from the previous night came back again ,I tried
brushing it off ,ndakabuda panze and it was a bit cloudy ndakabva ndapinda
mubathroom ndikabvisa hembe and opened the shower, ndakajamba mvura
yaitonhora kunge yatumwa kuzondisvota.

" Mavis!nhaiwe Mavis mhani.'

I could hear her walking coming but asina kana kudaira,"nhaiwe Mavis."

" Mhaa ."

" Ko haudaire here nhaiwe asi hauna kundinzwa?"

" Inga ndadaira wani?"

" 6 hours ?'

" Hadzisati dzakwana hadzo."

Ndakaridza tsamwa then I said ndipeka mvura yacho yekugeza?"

" Ko handiti imomo mune mvura here nhai?"

168 | P a g e
Ndakaridza futi tsamwa then I said ,"ita mushe handiti wandidziisira mvura
here hunza."

" Mati hamusi kuida wani."

" Mavis usade kundibhowa handiti."

I heard her walking going to get the bucket ,she came back ndookugadzika pa
door, "hunza handisi kusvikira."

Ndakavhura door mbichana since I was not dressed ndookubva ndatambira

mvura and began bathing,I didn't even know why I was angry with her but i
was just angry ,I finished bathing ndokubva ndaenda kunopfeka apa i was
beginning to get tired of choosing my clothes alone, Whitney aive akandijaidza
kundiitira zvese,Kumuona achiramba kudzoka meant that I had hurt her
,ndakarara pamubhedha and began feeling my heart breaking ,she was serious
that she slept with Cassy. For a few days I had tried hard kusazvifunga but
zvanga zvavakundipinda,I began wondering kuti did he make her happy
,kudarika inini,because for sure she always complained that I never satisfied
her, Bertha chaiye had to force me to improve ,apa I wanted to show her kuti
babie ndava Nani,even though another woman had trained me but I wanted
her to be proud of me, kuti babie wakuita zvine musoro instead of zvawaiita.

Ndakatarisa patrouse pangu ndikazviseka kuti sure ndaifamba ndichizviti

ndiri murume when I wasn't ,I didn't even know to make her happy pa chinhu
one chaifanira kutiita tive ne connection,ndakatanga kufunga kuti her being
with me was because she was doing me a favor.i almost cried picturing naked
Whitney being touched by my boss.

169 | P a g e
Ndakamuka then I sat on the edge of the bed ,ndakadzika ndikagara pasi
unable to sleep in the same bed I shared with her ,her thoughts filled my head
and surely if he made her happy it meant I had lost her to another man ,a man
I chose for her pamusoro pazvo,no wonder she was refusing to come back to
me ,she was happy with him, I felt my heart ichinyatsopisa ,it was beginning to
make sense,ndakanzwa misodzi yangu ichiyerera kunzwa kuti I was not a man
anymore ,I had literally made her discover what I didn't have to offer ,and she
liked what I introduced her to.if she could have the guts to tell me kuti
haachandide it meant kuti anga asisandide for sure, nekuti the Whitney I
knew could never do that to me.

I wiped my tears not knowing what to do next ,theres nothing that hurts a
man's dignity more than knowing your wife slept with someone else and she
enjoyed it,was I going to be able to forgive her for that? I felt very much
betrayed by her and I wanted to see her desperately asi aindirambira. Ndaida
andiudze face to face kuti for sure haachada .

Ndakatanga kuzvivhunza kuti ndotanga ndaenda kupi? Kwa Simon here kana
kuti ndomirira Whitney , the truth was that , for me to know the way forward
ndaida kutanga ndaziva where I stood in her life , could I really let my boss
take my wife, I began hating him, I felt Soo much hatred for Caston,
ndakadanana na Whitney for Soo 2years ndisati ndaroora, handina kana
kumubata, ndakamubata the day I married her but within three months he
had managed to get in her pants, ndakanzwa hasha ndikasimuka and hit the
wall, I had a lot of anger to release. On the other hand i could not blame
anyone, I could only blame myself , I tried betraying him then I got betrayed.
Ndakazofunga kuenda kwa Simon ndazviudza kuti kusiri kufa

170 | P a g e
ndekupi,nyangwe ndikaudzwa zvinorwadzwa I kind of deserved it anyway , I
was Soo broken zvekuti I just didn't care anymore , ndakabva ndapfeka
ndikabuda.

" Bamkuru ndagadzira breakfast." Handina kumira ndakadarikira then I

said,"idya hako iwewe."

She didn't say anything, ndakabuda ndikaenda kunokwira kombi and went to
Warren park,all the way I kept repeating in my head, all the things my brother
was going to say to me ,at least what I thought he would say,ndakatanga
kuzviseka and for that moment I put myself in his shoes and I understood kuti
ainzwa sei, ndaive ndafarisa,but kunyangwe ndainge ndafarisa I needed him ,I
needed my brother because I was hurting ,my life was a mess.ndakasvika and
knocked pa door ravo and maiguru ndivo vakabva vandivhurira ,ndakanyara
nezvandaive ndakataura and I couldn't even look at her ,the worst part was
that she actually greeted me politely, we walked inside and found mama and
my brother seated vachitaura nyaya,I greeted him ,he never answered
ndakazongomhoresa mama and she answered.i felt like a prisoner in the
house surely kana munhu uine nyaya unoshaya zvekuita kana kwekutarisa
unokushaya.

" Kurisei kumusha mama?"

" Kwakanaka."

Vakabva vanyarara ,she took a deep sigh and I knew kuti court yaive yotanga
,pakabva paita knock ,Mai Pee vakabva vapinda.

Ndakavhura maziso with surprise, "mama mati kudii?" I asked ndichida

173 | P a g e

She lifted her head zvikanzi,"ndaida mama vakubatsire hanzvadzi ,sorry hako

Hanzi nyoka dzinosiyana aiwa dzinosiyana zvesure looking at my kids vaive

"Mauya ba Sharon , ndaida kuziva kuti makafamba kusvika papi panyaya

yemukomana uyu. "

Stern quickly answered."mama takaenda kurikudiwa mombe mbiri?"

Ndakatarisa hanzvadzi yangu ndikati, "ko ndakataura nemi mukanditi zvese

zviri right wani why didn't you tell me that you went there asi kwakanzi
kurikudiwa muripo nhai ba Sharon. "

He remained quite ndookuzosimudza musoro and said. "Well I had it under

control dai takakundikana ndaizokuudzai kuti we have failed but we have not
failed yet. "

179 | P a g e
" Hoo nhai saka mombe dzacho dzirikupi."

" Hoo saka chitaura nyaya yako kuti ndeyei, imi maida kugadzirisa mega but
kana munhu Ava kumba kwavo it clearly shows that it's a family matter and
we have to help each other asi makasarudza kuvanza, iwe Stern ,mukadzi
akaenda zvadii."

" It's a long story mama and I'm even embarrassed to tell you about it?"

Ndainge ndonzwa hasha and my legs were swelling because of high blood
pressure ,I didn't want to be told zvisinganzwisisike anymore I wanted the
whole truth. "ndaneta nezvisina basa Stern and andisikuda kuramba
ndichikuvhunza the same thing andingafambe kubva kwamutare for rubbish

" Abva aita sa sekuru Moses vainge vakabheja mukadzi kumakasa

" zvino ini handigone kumuvhunza zvakawanda baba, dai sisi venyu varipano

" Aiwa enda namai Shupi anonotaura nemuroora ,iwewe chako kutaura na

" Haa zvatinoitirwa nevana zvakaoma."

" Ndarwadziwa hazvifadze kana mwana aita hunhu kwakadai, hazvina hazvo

anzi aende pamwe ndosaka asisade kugara kumurume kana zvisiri zvekuti
arikuda kwaakanzi aende pamwe pane zvimwe zvichemo zvaanazvo zvakaita
kuti asimuke achienda kwavo.

" Ndazvinzwa regai ndigoita sekudaro, asi my heart is very heavy I can't
believe kuti mwana wangu could do something like that."

" Haa stern watogarwa nemweya wasekuru Moses zvaakutoda minamato izvi,

" Haa chete haasi munhu wese anoda mwana wako mudiro waunomuita, I'm
very disappointed kundinyepera kudaro sure."

" Hazvina basa just deal with what is there.

Ndakabva pafoni ndikaona iye Stern akamira kumashure kwangu, I didn't

want to talk to him ndakabva ndatanga kufamba hangu ndichidzokera mumba
,my heart was much better since I had spoken to my husband asi kungoziva
kuti there were chances ekuti his marriage was over ,zvakandirwadza
nyangwe mwana Ari bedzi but as parents we still wish for the best kuti
hupenyu huve Nani.

"Mama don't turn your back on me just like Whitney has, I can't have my two
favorite women both do that to me ,I need you mama ,I'm still your son
nyangwe ndikatadza sei I'm still your son, let the world abandon me I know
but you can't do that please."

Ndakanzwa moyo wangu uchichema ndakamira kufamba and looked at him,

"wainge washayei mwanangu ,did you not grow ndichikuudza kuti you have

182 | P a g e
to work hard to succeed in life ,you don't get things the easy way. What you
did wakadzikisira rudzi rwevakadzi, a man has to love his wife so that she can
bring him honor but what did you do, do you know that this means kana neni
Mai vako wandishora zvakanyanya."

" Mama I regret it, I regret it all but what can I do ,all in trying to do is bring
her back to me but it seems as if she's already in love with him mama."

"Is that what she told you?"

" Yes mama."

" Whitney chaiye?"

" Yes mama."

"Ndinotenda kana achinge andiudza ega iwe handichakuteereri nekuti

mukanwa mako munobuda mashoko anovhundutsa."

" Mama help me please."

" If she doesn't love you anymore then what am I supposed to do nhai Stern ,a
woman's heart is something that you cannot gamble with, when she loves she
loves for real and when she gives up she gives up, you should have never
given her a chance to love someone else and see how good a person he is. If
her heart wants him how then will she come back to you nhai mwanangu, as
long as a woman finds someone who makes her feel loved and safe haamirire
murume anomudaidzira kune mumwe murume."

" Are you telling me to give up?"

183 | P a g e
" If she doesn't love you any more mwanangu then don't force her nekuti she
will only hurt you."

I had no other advice to give him but I could see his heart breaking ,I gave him
a pat in the back ndookubva tafamba tichidzokera mumba. I had nothing else
to discuss with anyone ndakabva ndazongovaudza zvaive zvataurwa nababa
vavo. Ndakazongokumbira kuti Mai Shari vazoenda neni kungonokumbira
ruregerero kuna Mai nababa va whitney, kana zvichinge zvarambisisa
ndosimuka hangu ndodzokera kumusha. All I wanted was to leave zvinhu
zvava kunzwisisika kuti zviri kufamba sei.

" Mai Pee mwanangu andizive kuti uchakura riinhi asi wakaganhira ndimi
vanotukisa mutupo wekuti chihera zvonzi vakadzi vakafumuka ,I hope soon
you will learn a lesson yekudzidza kudzikama mwanangu learn to mind your

" Ah nhai mama mobva m mashoko anorwadza kudaro ,kana

" Usaite seusina kukwana ,makuhwa awakaita hakusi kushungurudza here?"

" mama musiyei uyu inzenza." Akatya kana kupindura Simon, akabva

I was relieved when Mai Stern told me kuti ndisauye and she would come

took it out ndaakutaurisa , my heart hurt ndaona kuti it was Caston calling me,
i cursed myself so many times ndokubva ndaakuedza kumuronera back.

" So you are finally free nhai shaa?" He said the moment he answered his
phone,apa he was soo relaxed.

" Sorry I was shopping for clothes. "

" Urikupi? "

" I'm in town . "

186 | P a g e
" Papi? "

" By those shops where you bought me clothes the last time. "

" I'm picking you up in the next 5 minutes."

He hung up ndikasara ndakatarisa phone laughing,he had not even given me a

chance to say yes or no and for sure within 5 mins I saw him looking for me, I
slowly walked to his car and got inside , he smiled and said, "I thought you had
replaced your friend."

" Kwana,how are you."I said smiling zvikanzi, " wandituka hako asi ndanga
ndakusuwa . "

" Wandiona ka ndichimira kundisuwa. "

" Saka hauna kundisuwa."

" Mbichana."

He smiled and said, "ndirikunzwa kuda kuona movie saka hande. "

"Toiwonera kupi movie yacho."

"Hamheno but I miss your cooking you have to cook for me first."

" Ah ndirikunzwa hope ini ndirikuda kurara."

" Unopenga here kurara this time kwana."

He then drove to his house.we got there zvikanzi, "ndinenzara I was serious
kuti ndoda food yako." i just looked at him feeling defeated and began looking
for something to cooking zvikanzi, "I want that chicken."

187 | P a g e
"Can't you eat something else."

" I want that chicken kani." He said pleadingly then I began making the
chicken.ndaitaudzwa nyaya the whole time that's when he said."

"shaa uri urikuwanda kuback uku." I quickly turned kubvisa my ass kuside
kwake then he began laughing.

" Not funny kwana."

" Sorry anyway what's new newe?" I smiled and said I will be selling wigs
soon."

" Is that Soo?"

" Yeea for rich people."

" Are you also doing the online thing ?"

" Lol a lot of people are."

" Mmm true and they are making money nazvo,well done Tyney." Akabva
agara patable Ari pamashure pangu,it was hard concerntrating nekuti I could
see he was really looking at me zvekundicherechedza zviye.

" Usadaro kani." I said ndaona kuti kutariswa kwacho kwanyanya,then he

said,"zvakashata here kukutarisa ,it's not as if ndatora ,ndiri munhu Ari bho
asi unongondifungira zvisirizvo," takabva tararisana tikatanga kuseka

having fun with my best friend.takazotanga kuchibika tese achinyatsoona
what I was doing hanzi, "when you are not there handidi zvekunetsekana
nekuda chicken yako." I nodded and carried on.

188 | P a g e
We got done and then we set the table to eat. The whole time we were talking

" Ah!why ku headoffice ?"

" Because I need someone there, asi haudi."

" Noo not that just that." Ndakabva ndafunga kuti ku headoffice Kuna Stern

" Just that what?"

" Nothing it's fine kutanga riini?"

" Monday."

" Already." He laughed zvikanzi ehe ndipo paakazoti ,jokes next month." I
sighed with relief at least I had time to prepare. " The food is nice." he said.

" Thank you." He began staring at me in a very weird way and I knew that
look,ndakabva ndatarisa pasi and continued eating my food ,iye haana kutaura
anything he carried on eating as well. We washed the dishes together with
him drying then and packing them.

" Saka you are sleeping over handiti." He said looking serious.

" Huh? Sleeping over ?"

189 | P a g e
" Saka manje ?"

" Is it about your parents or maybe you think you are not safe with me?"

Chapter 27

Whitney

Slowly he moved his head towards me , like I was put on pause, I couldn't
move besides feeling my heart pumping fast. By the time I felt his lips on mine
it felt like I had waited too long. As the kiss deepened we forgot all about the
feathers that were full up of the bed racing to take off each other's clothes.
There wasn't much talking happening all I could hear was the sound our
kisses and feeling the heat from out bodies that had locked , the heavy
breathing continued I slowly parted my legs impatiently waiting for him to
enter me but he was taking his time. I wished he could read my mind, I had
reversed my words ekuti no sex nekuti definitely I wanted it.

"Mukanya." He had mouth on my nipples he stopped and said. " Matii mama."

" Murikunonoka daddy."

"Sorry mama."

Akabva andisimudza makumbo ese and slowly ndainzwa kupinda kwake

ndakatanga kubvunda , I closed my eyes then he stopped going in.

193 | P a g e
" Ko mamiririrei futi?"

" I'm double checking , last time wakati nomore."

"Mukanya mhani this is not the right time."

" Saka uchati nomore kana tapedza here. "

I tried getting up ndaida kupedzisa ndega then he stopped me." Caston

mhani."

"Hanti tirikutaura here."

" I don't wanna talk please kani. "

" Where you serious? "

" No I wasn't."

" Not about that." Akabva aiburitsa and began making circles by the door
achibva atanga playing with my clit , I began moaning loud. Ndanga
ndaakusafunga kana and he kept doing it achiziva kuti arikundivhiringa. "

" Ndati were you serious that I'm the only man that ever made you feel this
good? "

" Yes. "

" Liar. "

" I swear Cassy I swear. "

Slowly he began going in slowly , I held the pillow tight hoping he wouldn't
stop. He went in all of him and I felt his hard thrusts that left me more than

194 | P a g e
satisfied , I opened my eyes and found him watching me and I could see he
was enjoying every bit of me.

" Tyney unondivhiringa, I hope he never went in here after I went in. "

" I swear he never. "

" I hope he never made you come like I do."

" I swear he never."

"You are kidding me."

" I was serious that day. "

He began increasing pace making me scream chaiko and I could not hold back
,"Cassy don't stop please."

" You are coming."

" Yes I am, do not stop, I will kill if you do. "

" Wait for me," he said.

" Cassy please. "

" Ndimirire kani. "

I could not wait but somehow he caught up with me ndakanzwa kuti brain
dzamira kushanda ndakavhurisa gumbo and allowed him to go all the way
leaving me breathless. We hugged and lay there for a while.

195 | P a g e
" Why did you switch rooms?" I asked ndambofema.I had meant to ask him
but kept forgetting , he didn't comment but instead he began touching me
again. "Answer me ."I said

"I'm answering you now."

" Is this how you answer? "

" I don't wanna talk, ndirikuda kukupfeka."

" I have to wash up. "

" Im still going to get you dirty. " He said nekutopinda futi. Kana zvekuti I can't
sleep over was history ,I wanted to enjoy the moment and love him more
nyangwe ndaisaziva kuti aifungei, I just didn't care anymore,both of us were
not thinking and all we wanted was exactly what we were doing,I was tired of
playing by the rules and putting other people first ,I wanted to be happy,to
explore things I had never explored before. With Cassy ndainzwa kuti I was
with my better half who understood me more than I understood myself.

" What are we doing Tyney?"

" We are making love."

" You know exactly what I mean. "

" I'm sorry I can't resist you." I said ndokubva ndaenda pamusoro pake and
began bouncing on him, he reached for my twins , I felt like ndaive pamagetsi
even the energy was too much , he moved his hands and held my waist
allowing me to bounce on him nicely with balance. "Urikunditekenyedza nei
mukati umu."

196 | P a g e
"I don't know. " I answered ndaakutadza kutaura allowing to do whatever he
wanted with me, Tichipedza ndopatakazogeza tese zvikanzi ," saka
waakuenda kumba. "

" Ah iwe ndisiye ndoda kurara ." He laughed giving me my phone ndokubva
ndafonera Laura kuti ndimuudze to cover for me.

" Asi une zvivindi," she said laughing after ndamuudza then I said , "
ndokumbirawo kani."

"Are you guys using condoms ?" She said ndipo pandakanzwa Hana yangu
kurova kuti I had been Soo careless ,taingorara tese zvakadaro. I turned and
looked at Cassy who was already in bed ndikatoona kuti hapana kana zvaari
kufunga nezvazvo.

" No we weren't." I said ne low voice.

" Aren't you scared of getting pregnant."

" Now that you mentioned it , I'm scared . " Tichataura just cover for me."
Ndakabva ndakata then called mama ,since ndainge ndamboudza mama kuti I
was going to meet Laura mutown it was easy to say ndaenda naye , she didn't
ask much vakangoti, "eho toonana usakanganwe kuti Mai va Stern varikuuya
mangwana ."

" Ok mama. "

After the call ndakanzwa kuneta I went in blankies ndookubva ndarara

ndakamupira gotsi. He switched off the TV zvikanzi, "taakutorara here?"

I sighed then said , "ndabvira Kare ndiine hope."

197 | P a g e
" Hanzii na Laura ndakunzwa uchiti you are scared."

Hana yangu yakarova then he said," why is your heart beating fast? "

Ndaishaya kuti ndomuudza sei kuti tataura nezvei. Ndakazongozvishingisa

ndikati, "I wasn't taking any tablets, I need them now." He didn't comment he
just said, " okay." Honestly I was scared apa iye kana kumboratidza
kuvhunduka akazonditi,"are you going to leave him?"

It was Soo out of the blue ,it's something that he had never asked me
before,ndakabva ndatotadza kana kupindura kwacho,I knew I was leaving him
but Cassy akangondivhundutsa Soo.

" It's okay you don't have to answer that."

" I wanna answer that."

" Wanonoka kupindura handichada kunzwa."

" Caston. "

" Let's not spoil the mood. " Akabva ati he wanted juice then he got up
ndookuenda kunotora, akauya ne two then he gave me one ndokubva
ndangoisa paside ndisinankuibata, Ndakatanga kunzwa mudumbu kurwadza,
handina kuda kumuratidza,iye akabva aswedera padhuze neni then we
cuddled.if only that feeling could last forever, the thought of ever being
without him hurt more than anything, it was stupid to desire being with him
but there was a lot I had to fix. Takazorara later and makuseni ndaida
kumukira but akaramba apa ndainyatsonzwa kuti body yangu haisi kuita
ndaakurwara chaiko.

198 | P a g e
" What's wrong with you?" he asked aona kuti pane zvirikuitika."

" Kuneta Caston I havent had time to rest and ndine nzara ndoiri
kundirwadzisa mudumbu. " He laughed zvikanzi ,"food uri kuida handiti? "

" Urikundipa here kana kuti aiwa. "

" Nhaiwe zvauri kutodedera nenzara, sorry I didn't know it was that bad. " He
took a bowl then he made cereal and gave me, ndakadya fast achibva atanga
kuseka zvikanzi , "do you want more ?"

"Haunawo something sweet , like cakes zvakangodaro daro?"

" Ndozvauri kuda? "

" Yes. "

He ate serial ndookubva tabuda tese and went to the coffee shop. We ordered
coffee and chocolate cake , this time umwe neumwe aive nerake.

" Urikundifurira eating a lot of chocolate handiti?"

"Ndakutuma here handiti uri kuzvida wega? "

" Tichaita matama. "

" Ndoakanaka ka." I said then he laughed zvikanzi,"when are you moving ? "

" Moving ndichienda kupiko? "

" Saka uda kugara nanamama? what if I wanna take my friend out?"

" Then you will get your friend from her mother's house."

" Taura zvimwe."

Chapter 28

Whitney.

She chose the wrong time to come, when I needed a moment to breath. Caston
pulled the car over tisati tasvika pagate then he looked at me as said, "chienda
unoona vanhu vako."

As if to annoy me he didn't even look at me so I said, "waakundipa vanhu

manje?"

" Ko havasi vako here."

" Usade kundidenha." He slowly turned his face to look at me then I looked out
the window ,I felt his hand touch my face and forced it to face him,there was
something about his eyes that had gone a little darker as if he was angry yet
trying to suppress his anger.i grabbed my hand bag and my clothes and
opened the door to get out but he held my arm to stay,I put back my leg inside
the car ndokubva ndamutarisa, immediately he began planting kisses on my
lips.

201 | P a g e
Strongly trying to control my desire to have more off him I tried to speak but
he did not give me a chance, he deepened the kiss so I let him have me till his
heart was content then he stopped. " There's never a last time Tyney." He said
planting another kiss then he said , " chienda." I did not feel like going
anymore he had left my body craving for more, as if that was supposed to
torture me all day I looked at him and said,"you have just tortured me what do
you want me to do?"

" To miss me when I'm gone, chienda." I frowned at him ndokubva ndabuda
,mama Mai Stern had already gone inside the house. Reluctant to say goodbye
I stood looking at him then he smiled as he waved and drove off ,I then began
walking slowly to the gate ndokubva ndapinda mukati raive rasiiwa risina
kuvharwa.as soon as I got inside I looked for Mai Lex mukitchen, thank
goodness I could not see who ever was in the lounge but mai Lex was not in
the kitchen ndakabva ndaenda ku spare and texted her kuti vauye.

She came fast vachisekerera zvikanzi,"hesi kani tete you are glowing."

" Maiguru tsvagai makuhwa mushe ,glowing kuita sei."

" It's a compliment actually varisei tete Laura ."

Ndakabva ndatanga kuseka then she said,"you were not there were you?"

" Haa close the door mhani if someone hears you ndopinda pama1 ."

Smiling zvekuda nyaya she quickly closed the door and came to sit Soo close
to me, impatiently waiting to hear the story but unfortunately mama came
into my room zvikanzi,"ko wauya nguvai?"

" Just now mama and ndatosvikirana nevanhu vekwana Stern."

202 | P a g e
" Handina hangu problem nazvo asi ndine problem nemwana wavo,just
prepare something for them to eat but tanga wauya kuzovamboresa first ."

" Okay mama." She left my room ndokubva maiguru vati,"taurai fast kani nhai
tete?"

" What can I take nhai tete ,can a person take something after having
unprotected sex toti maybe after 5 days or more ?" Vakabva vatanga kuseka
and I was in need of her help I did not want to make a stupid mistake yekuti
Cassy would think kuti ndirikuda kumusungirira after all were easily accused
of using the pregnancy card when trapping a guy.i was very scared ndakabva
ndatobata dumbu rangu ndokubva maiguru vati,"when last did you see your
period?"

" Paye paye pandakasoti ndakaenda."

" By now maifanira kunge makaenda kaimi."

My heart began pumping fast I was late ne over two weeks. Mai Lex got up and
said, "vhurai hembe tione."

" I'm not pregnant."

" Ngationei ka." Ndaive ndaakutoona as if I was in the doctors office

ndakavhura top yangu , my tummy was flat ndaishaya what she wanted to see

" You are pregnant tete."

" I'm not."

203 | P a g e
" You were not supposed to feel pain pandapadzvanya."

" How do you know?'

" Because I was once pregnant and I'm pregnant again?"

Ndakavhura ziso shocked ,"you are pregnant."

" Imi munoti Michael kuwedzera kuchengera chii,he's super happy apa I had
been scared o telling him nekuti yakangoerekana yabata tisina kuzvironga,but
when I finally built the guts to tell him ndakaita kutakurwa."

Weren't you taking something ?"

" I was but yakangobata ."

Ndakaona kuti nyaya yacho yanga isiri kupera ndakabva ndati handei

pain.anyway after the greetings I went to the kitchen and began preparing
lunch that's we carried on with our conversation na maiguru vachindiudza
about her pregnancy ,I was still in shock because it never showed any
signs,apawo I was worried about my own situation ,if I was pregnant Cassy
was never going to believe kuti ndeyake,I pulled a chair ndokubva ndagara
pasi ndikabata shaya.

" Don't be stressed tete zvinogadzirika handiti baba vacho varipo here?"

" Haambobvume maiguru ,I'm a married woman,nyangwe ndisirina stern

Well yes ,first month,vamwe vanoita normal period ,vamwe just spotting ."

" But no na Stern I was still on tablets."

" ini I was in the pill when I got pregnant so its tricky."

Mavis walked in with a glass of juice and gave me."I don't want kani Mavis

" Handisati madya anything miss kufa nenzara here nhai?"

" Ndamboti ndafa here?" Pee got up and tried to take the juice ndookubva

" Ishungu dzekurohwa here idzi nhaiwe Pee?" I ignored them ndaisada

Pasina nguva Mai Pee ainge asvika,ndakanzwa kutaura kwevanhu then

I cursed ndaakumuka ndokubva ndagara pamubhedha akasvika and opened

" Haiwa you are my brother ibvaipo anyway I was calling you manga musiri

" Saka wanga watii pakukudenha kwacho nhaiwe."

" Hoo kuri kufurorana na Mavis kurova mwana wangu nhaika ko madiiko

" Usandivatanidze panyaya dzosina basa ,do you even know what child abuse

because you will be depriving the child her rights to be normal and sane."

" Heede wuuri zvakaoma saka ndiko kwazvasvika taakuudzana mashoko

She left my room and I could hear her arguing with Mavis andizive kuti nyaya
dzevakadzi dzaitadza kupera sei ,I went out ndichida kuvaudza kuti they were
making noise and disturbing my peace then I found Mai Pee pushing Mavis.

Ndakabva ndamira and decided to bwatch hanzi vanhu vakabatwa vanoita

" Mai Pee ishungu dzekurohwa here idzi?" Mavis said and when she was
pushing Mavis munhu wacho never moved kuratidza kuti power raive riri tii

" Ndati topedzerana iwe ucharova wako mwana wawakazvara kwete

210 | P a g e
" Saka zvamakandiunza pano ndimi munoshanda here? Taive takasainirana
ma terms and conditions ekuti ndigarw pano here? "

She tried to slap Mavis then Mavis pushed her with all her strength causing
her to hi her head on the wall ndokubva vadonha pasi. I shook my head when I
heard her scream ndikati mazvokuda handidi zvekunyaudzwa , as if that
wasn't enough she got up quickly vachizama kids kunorovana na Mavis again
but vakangosandudzirwa kure nekudonha futi ndakaseka ndikaenda kunoona

She never commented she picked up bag ra Pee zvikanzi hande Pee, kakada

" Kwausiri kudiwa here mwanangu?"

" Ndogara mama at least hakuna nzara."

" Kwana futsek kumusha kure simuka tiende. " Kakaita zvekudhonzwa

" You were my last hope mama." I said after vandiudza kuti Whitney aramba.

" Hapana zvekuzviita Stern , vabereki vake vkatsamwa and they feel kuti

Mbuya vakazombotaura neni but she honestly told me kuti, " stern muzukuru

" Munorevei?"

" Uri munhu mukuru haungatadze kunzwisisa zvandiri kutaura. "

I understood perfectly and I wanted a moment alone , I went to my bedroom

ndikazvivharira ikoko and cried. Whitney aive andichemedza sure and I could
not accept the fact that she was gone i was dreaming and I wanted to wake up
from that dream , my life was over, it was never going to be the same without
my bae. I went through the photos in my photos , all the photos from the time
when we were happy , ndakamutumira a few of the best , even the ones of the
day we got married ndakamutumira i still had them.

" Don't give up on us babie." I said and then she said , "stern don't do this to
yourself and don't try to confuse me with all this."

" I want my wife Whitney I can't give up? "

" Usadaro. "

" So you seriously slept with him? "

" Yes I did. "

" If you can be that honest then you are an amazing woman , I'm sorry I was
unfaithful, it happened nekufurirwa."

She went quiet , and I knew that my confesion had hurt her.?

Chapter 30

Whitney

I put the phone away away because I didn't want to argue with stern and I
didn't want him to confuse me nekuda kwekuti I had a soft spot for him. And
even though he finally admitted that he cheated on me zvakatondibatawo
mumoyo mangu , I began wondering kuti ndainga ndaita sei for him to cheat
on me , I really wanted to know , it was better when he used to deny it but this
time aive abvuma. I don't know if it was wrong of me to get angry kuti he
cheated on me , i had been good to him , hapana chandaisamuitira , was it why
he had pushed me kuti ndidanane na Cassy ? But if so how come he was failing
to let me go. Ndakapedzisira ndasimuka and left ndikaenda kunogara panze
and began thinking ndichiedza kufunga nekuda kunzwisisa kui ndainge
ndatadza papi .

" Ko wagara pano panze wega sei , what wrong ?" Michael asked achibva
mumba hamheno kuti aienda kupi."

215 | P a g e
" I just needed to think." Akabva auya and sat next to me zvikanzi,"did their
presents affect you in anyway?"

" No not that Michael but hamheno but zvangondirwadza ."

He gave me his hand ndokubva andidhonza kuti ndisimuke,I got up zvikanzi,

"hande."

" Kuenda kupi?"

" Let's just go."

Ndakabva ndabuda naye just the two of us ndokubva ndabuda na Bulawayo

road ,we were both quiet maybe giving each other time to digest whatever
was on our minds,a few minutes later he cleared his throat then said. "Is it
stern?"

" Yes. "

" What did he say."

I could have kept it to myself by I needed to let it out and talk to someone and
I knew I could talk to my brother and again I wanted to understand from a
man's view kuti vaimbozvifambisa sei,ndaramba nezvigunwe zvangu
ndakatarisa pasi and I felt like crying ,not that I was about to cry for stern but
he had cheated on me when I was being Soo good to him I wanted to know
whatbinhad done to deserve all that.

I sighed and said," he admitted that he cheated on me."

"And you are feeling betrayed?" He open the car window slightly tonlwt out
and bit of air ,it was hot inside the car .I took my time before answering

216 | P a g e
looking for the perfect words to say to make him understand exactly what I
was feeling.

" Michael." I said almost in n tears.

" Yes."

" Why do men cheat?"

" Well that more like asking me why women cheat, people cheat because of
different reasons , reasons that might not make sense ,I can't point out the
reason why stern may have cheated but well, Men cheat for the fun of it,the
mentality yekuti you cant have one woman ,if you have one woman it means
kuti wakasara,men cheat because of the environment yavanoshandira,the
people you hangiut with have a lot of influence on you , kufurorana chaiko
makes me cheat ,hubenzi,ka habbit kekungodzidzisana hurombe ndiyo
problem hombe."

" I'm trying to figure oubwhy stern cheated on me ,am I not pretty enough."

" Andina sister yakashata Saks ruke that one out ."

" I jus wish I knew Michael."

"You will know just now Mira hako?"

"What do you mean?"

" I'm taking you to him ,both of you need closure handiti ,you have questions
that need answers saka ndirikuenda newe unopedza shungu dzekumuona ,I
know kuti ever since you came to the house you never had a chance to talk
since then ,you people are adults and you can't keep wondering about this and

217 | P a g e
that,wakabva kumba usina kumuudza and kumubvunza a lot , I'm giving you a
chance to free your heart lil sis."

I was feeling nervous ,very nervous kazhinji kutaura na stern hapana

chaibuda and I wondered if kutaura naye would actually work this time
around. It's true that I wanted to confront him,even if It wasn't going to
change anything I still wanted to know why he had done it because I had been
Soo honest with him. We got there for sure and I told him that I was outside
his gate ,haana kutora nguva he came out ,hamheno,I felt Soo sad inside ,I
won't lie hapana chinorwadza sekurambana ,it's always nice when people
begjn relationships ,but here I was ,breaking mine ,he looked miseray but he
was the same man who had taken me for granted.

Ndakadzika mumota I could see kuti he was scared of Michael he greeted him
arikure and Michael nodded his head without speaking .mickael akabva
anditarisa and said ,"go and talk I will be waiting ,ndakabva ndafamba
ndichipinda mumba ,feeling a little nervous.

" How are you ?" He said then I said , "ndiri right hangu."

I met Mavis by the door who seemed Soo happy to see me ndakangosekerera
and greeted her back zvikanzi, "magona madzoka maiguru." I didn't comment
ndakabva ndafamba kuenda ku lounge ndikaona kuona mama vakashamisika
kundiona ndasvika,"wauya mwanangu." I greeted her then sat down.
"Pachipamwe mama."

"Pachipamwe."

" Kwakanaka hako mwanangu?"

218 | P a g e
"Kwakanaka mama pane zvandauya kuzombotaura na stern."

" Hoo hazvina mhosva ,chete kana vanhu vachitaura vachionana zvakanaka
,saka wauya wega?"

" Aiwa ndina baba Lex vari mumota."

" Ko vadii kupinda havo."

" Vati vanogara havo vachichengeta mota ."

" Hoo hazvina mhosva."

I got up then I went to the bedroom naye , everything was still the way I had
left it ,he was trying hard to clean the place I noticed that and chi Teddy bare
changu was still panzvimbo yacho yachaigara ndakafamba ndikanochitora
and squeezed it ndokubva ndagara pasi pa stool yaive pa dressing table.iye
akabva agara pamubhedha then he said ," wauya ."

" Yea."

Takabva tambonyarara tese not knowing where to start ndipo pandakazoti,

"why did you cheat on me stern?"

He sighed and said ,"I'm sorry babie."

"In sorry babie I was a little stressed handitozive zvakaitika ini

ndakangofarisa babie I'm really sorry ."

" Ndiko kwawakasiya condom Riya?"

Akambonyarara hesitating to answer then he said ,"im sorry that's the one."

" What's her name?"

219 | P a g e
Babie hazvina basa chikuru ndechekuti I have told you and I'm sorry."

" Was I not good enough for you stern ?"

" Babie you the best."

" Is she the reason why you pushed me to date Cassy nekuti you wanted to be
with her?"

" No babie ndakangosangana naye when I went out na Fidzo and handina kana
kumboita pay attention."

" Hoo saka wakazomuwana kupi kana wanga usina kumupa attention.?"

" Babie all that hazvina basa ."

" I don't wanna be the only one feeling guilty when you also screwed another
woman ,andizive kuti Simba rachonwakariwana kupi because kunoku kumba
you never took time to really please me ,waingomhanya mhanya saka ku
girlfriend yako ndiko kwawaimupedzera here?

"I'm sorry babie ndaisatoziva how a woman was supposed to be treated but
through making mistakes ndaakuziva manje."

" Hoo wakasodzidziswa ne girlfriend yako?'

" Usadaro please."

" Asi ndicho chokwadi ka."

He remained quiet then I said ,"i love Cassy Stern."

"You don't ,you are just confused ."

220 | P a g e
" I'm not confused ."

" It's because you don't know the bad side of him ,unongoziva his good side."

" At least he will never sell me."

We drove home quietly then taakusvika kumba ndipo pandakati, "thank you
Michael but he won't divorce me."

" Is that what he said. "

" Yes. "

" Hapana pasingarambane vanhu he will sign relax. "

Being told to relax was just something else nekuti stern could be stubborn if
he wanted , ndaisatova neplan kana kuti ndomuita sei for him to allow me to
divorce him , ndakapererwa and ndakasvika kumba ndapusa ndakangonanga
kunorara , mama vakauya vachivhunza kuti chii ndikati ndirikutwmws
nemusoro ndokubva vanditi ndimborara saka even pakakwana nguva
yedinner vakadya ini ndakarara, nzara yakazobata kumanheru chaiko
ndopandakazobuda ndaakutsvaga food.

222 | P a g e
Ndapedza kudya kudya ndakabva ndadzokera kunorara, handina wandakada
kutaura naye and in the morning ndakangomuka nekugeza ndaakuda kubuda

"Ko wakiya door hama zvaitasei?"

" Ndirikunzwa musoro shaa I didn't want to be disturbed watii? '

" Zvinhu zvako izvi zvabva pa coffee shop zvangotumirwa."

I smiled ndichitora nekutogara pasinthen she said ," ko hausi kuvhunza kuti

ndikaziva kuti it was definitely Caston. Ndakatarisa kuna Rudo who was still
waiting for me to say something ndokubva ndati, " there's no need to ask , I
already know kuti ndiani atenga. "

" Secret admirer , kana kuti muface uye anokuda uye."

223 | P a g e
" Bvapo, definitely not that one haazive hake kuti ndogarira this cake."
Ndakabva ndatotanga kudya nekutosiyana nelunchbox yandainge ndapihwa
namai Lex. Rudo akatora fork yangu and broke a piece hanzi it's for being the
delivery girl akabva adya achibuda .

" I hope you liked the cake ." That was Cassy after about ten minutes
ndakaseka hangu and said, "raita diki. "

" Uchaita mapundu uchashaya murume anokumisa muroad hamheno hako. "

" Handina basa nazvo ndagara hangu handidi zvekumiswa handisi mota kaini.
"

" Uri benzi chishanda ndaakumboita zvebasa. "

Ndakasekerera nekuvhunduka at the same time nekuti time had moved

ndakabva ndafunga kuti ndaive pama 1 ekuda kuziva if I was pregnant or not.
Feeling scared i forced myself to get up ndokubva ndatora wallet and went out
to the pharmacy kunotenga pregnancy test. Ndakatenga turi two ndokubva
ndabuda kudzokera kubasa ndichibva ndambogara ndakatuisa kumberi , guts
to test was something I didn't have because the results were going to have
such a big change in my life.

Ndakatanga kutamba tamba nephone yangu like I was really lost then I found
myself calling Laura.

" Eh mainini."

" Eh maiguru." We both laughed that's how bamukuru Terry called both of us.

" Maiguru I'm scared."

224 | P a g e
"You think you are pregnant."

"Ah mazvinzwa kupi nhaimi." Ndakatoshamisika kuti vanga vanzwa naani

ndakatombofunga kuti Mai Lex vanga vaita makuhwa that was until she said,
"ko handiti nyaya yacho takaisiira panzira ka last time and you never go back

" Eh zvakaoma anyway ndatenga two ma pregnancy test and I'm scared to test

" Tanga watora test then show me the results kasika kani. "

" The earlier the better Whitney instead of torturing yourself ingozvipedza

whatever the results don't be scared I will be there with you all the way. "

" I wish you were here now I'm scared to do this alone . "

I hung up the call ndokubva ndaverenga ma instructions and looked for a

" Sei uri kumufungira when you haven't even told you don't you think he has

" No Laura ,we were getting close again ,slowly but getting close and telling

" Urikumhanya kuita stress munhu iwewe and i wish you could relax ok just

Chapter 32

Laura

I sat for a while thinking about my little sister, ndainyatsonzwa kumunzwira

tsitsi she was someone akanyarara and zvekutaura zvaimushupa ,saka
izvozvo manje zvaimuita kuti atadze kuita zvimwe zvinhu nekukasika, she
easily got afraid zvaitosiririsa, anyway pakupera kwezuva ndakabva
ndazviudza kuti I had to pass by my mother's house, panguva yandanga
ndaakutobuda pabasa ndakabva ndafonerwa na to be bamnini vangu.
Ndakatorohwa nehana kuti Cassy kufona zvaita sei, we would talk hedu here
and there but kwete zvekufona havo. Vanhu vainge vaenda havo vese saka I
was all alone, i took a sit and answered my phone.

" Maiguru." Ndakasekerera ndikati, hesi bamnini? "

" Murisei imimi? "

" Ah nditori neshock kuti surprise call from hubby mudiki kwakanaka here? "

" Hamusi kundida nhaika maiguru nekuti handisi favorite bamnini. "

229 | P a g e
" Hii bamnini mobva madaro here, even though things are the way they are
andina kana kukuvengai ini and ndotodawo kuti mufare. "

" Muri kupi ndoda kukuonai? " he asked

" Ndaakutobuda pabasa ndoda kuenda nekumarimba. "

" Send location map ndouya ndokutorai just now. "

" Okay bamnini. "

Ndainge ndatogonerwa because ndanga ndaakuremerwa nedumbu. Terry had

told me countless times kuti ndifambe nemota but inini wacho ndini ndaitove
nenharo manje. Ndaisada and ndaitya kuti ndogona kupinda mu labor
ndakabata steering saka that fear yaitoita kuti ndisiyane nazvo. I sent him the
location ndokubva ndatombogara, ndakazorora hangu asi ndaitonzwa hope. I
started wondering kuti saka munin'ina wangu very soon she was going to be
feeling exactly what I was feeling. Ndakaseka hangu asi kunyangwe hazvo it
was not what we all expected, I believed that somethings in life can never be
controlled by us.

It's destiny's choice to direct us in the direction that it wants, sadly sometimes
we have to be forced to part with our loved ones but we also have to accept
whatever has been put in front of us. Neniwo ndaitonzwa kurwadzirwa Stern
bamnini vangu, but if his life was not with my sister there was nothing anyone
could do and again Cassy was more of a reserved person. Ndainge ndatoona
kuti ma characters avo na Whitney aienderana, they were very much
compatible .

230 | P a g e
20 minutes passed ndichingofunga ndakagara, ndipo bamunini pavakati
vasvika then I went out ndikavaona vakaparker pa car park. Vakabva
vaburuka and opened the door for me, ndakasekerera hangu ndichipinda
ndookubva ravharwa, vachingopinda ndakabva ndati, "asi ndozvamunoita
Whitney here izvi zvekumuvhurira door all the time nhai bamnini?"

" Chaizvo." He answered then I said ,"bva motodzidzisa Terry nekuti

anombondisiya ndichivhura ndega."

He laughed zvikanzi, "ndichamuudza kuti kana musingagone kuchengeta

mukadzi ndipei hangu ndichengete ndega. "

We both laughed zvikanzi, "hamuna nzara here maiguru mazuvano ndaakutya

kufamba nevakadzi ndisina kuvavhunza kuti dumbu rakaguta here. Munin'ina
wenyu mazuvano nzara ma1."

Ndakaseka ndikati, "vane nzara stereki ndivo vane matumbu anenge angu Aya
, iye nzara anoiwana kupi? "

" Hahaha handizive maiguru? "

I thought of testing the waters ndichida kunzwa maonero nemafungiro ake

pamusoro penhumbu ndakabva ndati, "I hope hamuna kugutisa munin'ina
wangu bamnini." He laughed and said ,"ah maiguru kuti kudaro here? "

" Ehezve munhu haangocheme nzara. "

" Haa ndinorohwa zve kuti ndamitisa mukadzi wemuridzi . "

231 | P a g e
" Asi imi hamumude here mwana nhai bamnini, zera iri musati maane mwana
moda kuzoita mwana anozokutii sekuru here nhai? " He laughed and said,
"achauya hake mwana. "

Akabva atonyarara saka ndakashaya kuti ndoenda kumberi sei.

Ndakazongomusiya kuti ataure nyaya yake sezvo aive ariye ainge andifonera.
Akazoti pava paya, "nhai gulez am I stupid."

" Zvaitasei?" I asked ndakavatarisa.

" I wish I had known earlier that she was married maybe then I would have
been able to let her go but apa handisi kukwanisa. I love her and I love with
every vein in me, sounds crazy musazondiseka. In life there's that one person
who makes you lose your sanity and on my part it's her, but huh pakaipa
gulez. "

" Saka nhai bamnini nyaya yenyu iri papi chaipo? "

" We said we were going to be friends but staying in the friends zone
zvirikuramba, we keep crossing the line. I want more but she's married and
it's stressing me. The more she stays married the more it's hurting me, I don't
wanna feel used and I don't wanna be the guy she calls when she is a little
lonely. I wanna be the guy she loves, the only guy but haa ma 1 gulez. "

" Have the two of you spoken about this? "

" Well not like this, handigone kuita ma plans naye aine munhu waainaye.
Forgive me gulez ndakanyeperwa before and I'm learning to trust her again,
here and there I do still hurt a lot. I was made a fool, ehe akandiudza kuti
anondida but handizive maiguru kuti anondida kusvika papi. "

232 | P a g e
He was Soo sincere and I could see he had genuine love for her, kashoma kuti
murume ati ndinokuda uine murume, situation yavo vari two yaitorwadza
munhu wese, kana kuti ndimuudze kuti zvichanaka riini ndaitoshaya kuti
ndoti chii anyway ndakazoti. "Bamnini all I know is she loves you, hapana
munhu aigona making those two separate but you did and they are living
separately. That might not be enough for you but I'm sure it should be
something to help you heal and find comfort. Ndaifunga kuti she was crazy
about Stern then but nemi bamnini ndirikutoona kuti she might actually love
you more than she ever loved him. "

" Kuti kudaro here? "

"Bamnini maybe you need to really sit down and talk about what you want
and look for a way forward mese muri two. "

" Thanks maiguru, hamheno ndichaona. I'm not growing any younger and I
need to know where I'm going at least panyaya idzodzo. "

Takazochinja nyaya tikatanga kutaura dzimwe taakusvika kumba. I then

called Whitney kuti arikupi zvikanzi ndichangosvika pamba , ndakangomuti
buda panze. Pasina nguva akabva abuda panze, aingotarisa tarisa
achindishaya, paakazoona mota ya Cassy munhu akabva atanga kusekerera.

" Honai smile yacho mozoti hamudiwe?"

" Haa maiguru hanziiko." Ndakabva ndaburuka hangu ndikatenda bamnini

vangu vainge vandiunza kumba. Whitney went in pandakabuda, ndakaseka
zvangu zvainzi heee friends chii chii, nekuti kupinda kwake two seconds there
were all over each other. Ndakatozotarisa kuside ndaakufunga Terry wangu,

233 | P a g e
that's exactly how we were na Terry and seeing that pana Whitney made me
happy.

He didn't stay long ndainge ndanzwa nekumira akazosimuka and left

ndookubva tafamba taakupinda mumba.

" Ko masangana kupi?" Whitney asked

" Mukati mukati." Ndakabva ndaseka ndikati, "waita jealous? "

" Haa but imimi Soo haikonai kudaro kkkk jealous rei? "

" Say thank you ndakuigira munhu wako wapihwa kiss? "

" Ehe ndapihwa kiss maita basa." She giggled and then we went inside the
house ...

" Hiii tete hesi." That was Mai Lex that came to hug me smile iri kugotsi.

"Wabikei ndine nzara?"

" Ndirikuda kuroster chicken."

" Manje ndirikuda stew. "

" Unfortunately stew haisi kundiitira."

Ndakabva ndabvisa butsu makumbo azvimba then Whitney said, "she's

pregnant again , nhumbu haisi kuda stew."

"Heee? Wooow." I had no clue and ndakanzwa kufara kunge ndini."

She smiled ndikaona genuine happiness, my brother had been blessed to

marry his childhood sweet heart and the way yavaidanana nayo was just

234 | P a g e
beautiful. Ndakazovasiya vaakumhoresana na Whitney ndikatanga hangu
kutsvaga mama na daddy, ndakavaona vachiseka havo hamheno ainyeiwa.
Vakabva vamira kutaura vandiona ndikati, "asi manga muchinyeya inini."

Mama laughed and said , "haunyeyeke kuti wakaita sei?"

" Makadii henyu mama na daddy?"

"Hesi Laura ." Daddy answered and so did mama ndokubva ndagara hangu
pasi I was tired.

" Kwakanaka kwawauya nhasi , asi watisuwa."

"Aiwa kana kkkk pane wandirikuda hangu.

" Ah hoo ndiyaniko iyeye. "

" Mirai ndimbozorora tozotaura. "

Vakaseka ndookubva vandisiya and kanguva kadiki ikako ndakabva

ndatobatwa nehope.

Ndakazomutswa ndaakunzi Terry aifona. I felt embarrassed ndikazviseka sure

" Babie hausati wapedza here." He asked the very moment I answered.

" Nhaiwe kutosvika nekurara kana zvandafambira handina kana kutaura." He

Ndakaseka ndikati "ok." We had spoken about Whitney staying with us in the

anyway I had not told him that she was pregnant yet ndaizomuudza hangu but
not yet, ndakaona mama vaakungoseka zvikanzi, "nhumbu ine nungo zvayo

" I'm struggling mama Terry has been saying that I should stop working but

Vakamboti zii then she said, " hoo ah it's up to her kana achida, maybe a
change of environment will be good for her. She has been through a lot saka
kana achida I think there's is no problem. Kungoonekwa nevanhu Ari pano

father then she said, " what do you think?"

" Ah handiti they are both our kids and one needs help, I think it's a good
idea."

Takabva tatarisana na Whitney then I winked at her achibva asekerera then

mama said, "saka waida kumutora riini?"

"Kana nhasi chaiye mama if you don't mind ,that's why ndauya nekuno kuti

" Ah hooo, saka iwewe what do you think nhai Whitney?"

" I don't mind mama."

" If it's ok with you then it's fine with me, wotonodzidzirawo how to be a mom

237 | P a g e
" Thanks mama." Ndakabva ndasimuka ndaakunogeza kumeso,ndapedza
ndakabva ndaakunotsvaga drink ku kitchen nekumboshupa muroora wedu

"I hope musikana, zviya zvekunzi mwana mwana andisikusvida tirikutoda

"Akasaita musikana haasi wedu." I said then she laughed zvikanzi,

" Shungu dzekupondwa na Michael anyway ndipeiwo drink kani haikona

" Hezvo ko nguva yese manga muchiregererei kungotaura kuti munenzara

" Akaita sei Tete?handidi akareberesa aye, kutoilet ndoenda sei plus kugeza

Ndakabva ndafa hangu nekuseka, I always asked myself the same question
kuvanhu vaindishupira ma nails marefu refu. Waitoshaya kuti kutoilet munhu
anozvifambisa sei, kana kugeza downstairs yacho ndaishaya kuti yaigezwa
ichichena here munhu asina kuzvimaranzura. Kana kuti kwaingove kugeza

238 | P a g e
zvekungoti munhu zvimubve. Vamwe vaibva vada very pointy nails ini
ndaingoita quietly nekuti ndizvo zvinenge zvichida munhu.

Ndakatambira juice and the muffins then I said ,"relax I will put manails that
are almost the same size as your real nails ndoisa ari short, I hate long nails
anochengeta tsvina you have to keep cleaning them unopinda busy nawo.

"Haa ndanga ndakuda kuti manga mauya henyu zvakanaka asi regerai."
Ndakabva ndamuratidza the French manicure that I had ,very short and very
neat zvekuti I could do anything with them. By the time I finished eating
Whitney was already done packing but mama asked us to wait for dinner.
Terry akabva auya, my life had been made easy, I was not in the mood of
cooking and another thing having Whitney around zvaitove bho nekuti I really
enjoyed my sister's cooking.

After dinner we said our goodbyes then we left, the whole time Terry na
mainini vake ndivo vaingoita nyaya, ini hangu I was quiet kusvika tisvike
kumba. Ndakatoburuka nekunanga kunogeza nguva dzaive dzafamba I really
needed to sleep.

" Amana munhu aakutorara Kare here?" He said holding my waist ndokubva
aakundipuruzira dumbu.

" Mainini vaenda kunorara here."I asked ndichiteerera maoko ake.

" Ehe hanzi ndikuudze kuti don't disturb her arikuda kurara." He dropped my
night gown that I was wearing zvikanzi, "I miss my wife."

" Watanga babie."

" Handiti urikukasika kukotsira mazuvano?"akabva awedzera kundibata.

239 | P a g e
" Urikunonoka kuuya Terry ."

" 8 o'clock kunonoka here Laura ."

" Kwauri hakusi but kwandiri kunonoka, maybe unenge uchinakidzwa

kwaunenge uri, or I'm now boring ka."

"Ka Terry kanodenha handiti ?manje nhasi handitsamwe."

He began cupping my breast ndikatanga kutsinzinira ndakamira, he slowly

walked with me to the bed and made me lay on the bed. Honestly I was not
comfortable with my body,I felt fat and ugly so I tried hard kuti nditize having
sex with him nekuti ndaiona kunge asisanakidzwe nekundiona. I can't say kuti
he made me feel like that but it was just my mentality yaindiudza kudaro. I
also didn't know how to shake it off ndakabva ndaedza kudhonza sheet
because I wanted to cover myself but Terry said, "no."

"Terry kani."

"What's going on with you these days? You won't let me watch you naked or
do what we used to do."

" I feel ugly." Ndaitonzwa kuda kuchema chaiko but he started kissing me. He
stopped and said, "babie you are beautiful, my beautiful Laura, if you are
saying you are ugly then urikuti our baby is making you ugly."

" I don't know Terry."

" Have I changed Laura?" Tell me if I have ."

" You haven't."

" Then let me show you how pretty you are ."
240 | P a g e
" But it's a little cold."

" You think so?"

I nodded then he began cupping my breast again, my body was started feeling
hot. I decided to forget about my fears and I could tell for sure Terry wanted
me, I could see kuti ndainge ndichimuvharira panze. I helped him remove his
clothes fast, I wanted him. He made me lay ne side, the positions were limited
because of my big belly, his hand began playing with my feminine making me
beg him to have me. He was showing me how beautiful I was he kissed my
whole body.

" Terry ."

"Yes babie." He was breathing on my neck, he lifted my leg and I felt him
searching for his way in, I pushed back a little trying to make it easy for him
,"Terry babie." Aipinda slowly ndakatanga squeezing his hand,"Terry aaah."
He was just kissing my neck until I felt all of him inside me I began moving
ndega asati atanga. "You are beautiful Laura," he said as he moved with me. I
had missed him I started moving uncontrollably, kutokanganwa kuti I was
pregnant, I wanted to show my husband that I was still Laura wake.

"Keep moving like that babie."

" Do you like that?"

" I missed that, you are beautiful ."

As if I had a strong back I kept moving Terry achitambisa my clit I wanted it

harder but aityira kukuvadza mwana. Ndazoti, "Terry please just this time."

241 | P a g e
"Just this Time?"

"just this time please."

Slowly he gave me harder then faster I began shaking ," Teeery."

" You are beautiful Laura and I love you."

I squeezed him hard as he made me come, ndokubva aramba achiita until I felt
kuti I was drained then he offloaded in me. I felt beautiful because he kept
kissing me even after we made love.

" So does Caston know kuti mainini is here?" He asked after a while ndokubva
ndaseka ndikati, "ndiye andiyendesa kwamama, anga achingochema chema
hanzi he wants more than friendship."

" akapusa arikutadza kumitisa."

" Shes pregnant Terry."

" Whaaaat?"

Ndakabva ndatanga kuseka."

Chapter 34

Stern

I could not sleep the whole night, thinking about her speaking about the
divorce. Kana makuseni kubasa handina kuenda, I called in sick since I didn't
have the energy to face the world. Ndainge ndisati ndambonwa doro but that
day ndainzwa kuda kurinwa. I woke up ndikaenda kumashops neka satchel
kangu and bought 2 keys because ndiko kandaingonzwa kachinzi kanodhaka.
Ndakasvika kumba and went into the bedroom, ndaida kunwa undiluted but
the smell was soo strong. Ndikabva ndasiyana naro nekuti mama vakabva
vauya vachindinokera pa door.

My body had no energy I wanted to be left alone, but I forced myself kunoona
mama who I found already dressed vachiti, "ini ndaakuenda mwanangu I can't
stay here for too long." We then walked to the lounge and sat down side by
side. Ndaipuruzira musoro wangu as if ndaifunga something but hapana kana
chandaifunga, ndaitove rima zvaro.

243 | P a g e
I sighed and said ,"thanks mama."

" Saka muroora akati chii nezuro ."

" She wants a divorce."

Vakatura befu and said, "hupenyu mwanangu hazvina mhosva."

" I won't sign the divorce papers nyangwe akandipa ngavandiponde havo i
won't give her freedom that easily mama, one mistake obva andidaro no way."

" Don't start fighting with her Sternford, ini ndirikutofunga kuti wadzidza iwe
waakutoita zvimwe hako?"

" Noo mama noo imbomirai, ehe ndadzidza how a woman should be treated
ipapo ndapabatisisa but look mama I also deserve a second chance. Why can't
she give me, how can she love another man soo easily."

" How could you give her to another man soo easily, ibvapo ndoda munhu
akakwana wanzwa."

" Sorry mama I'm just disturbed."

" Teerera Stern in life things don't always go our way wanzwa, kana zvaramba
zvaramba hazvisi zvekumanikidzira handitika. Ukamumanikidza anokuvenga
pane kuti akude, if ever you want to maintain a good relationship naye stop
arguing and fighting with her. Musiye aite zvaari kuda, hazvinakidze kugara
kumba nemunhu ane moyo wava kure wazvinzwa. Chii chamunenge
mucharonga pamwechete? And on everything anenge achingoti hamheno
iwewe ndiwe wakandimanikidza ndisingade. When a woman doesn't love you
mwanangu she becomes like a bomb waiting to explode musiye, haasi

244 | P a g e
mukadzi wekupedzisira munyika. On that note, if ever mukagadzirisana treat
her well, asika zvikaramba ukawana mumwe make sure kuti you choose
wisely usandiunzire tsvina. I know kuti you are hurting right now and you are
bound to make mistakes, handisi kuda kuti uite a mistake that will cost you
Stern, ndoda munhu anofunga with a sober mind,ndirikudzokera hangu
because I can't stay here for long but ndaive neshungu dzekuti ndimboenda
newe kumusha ufurwe nemhepo, chete kuti uri pabasa."

I listened to every word she was saying, she said a lot of things that made
sense and she was right on a lot of things too. It was hard to accept defeat
ndakazongonyarara letting her talk, ndakapihwa lecture for sure. "Kana zviri
zvevakadzi umbokanganwa mwanangu nekuti ndakanzwa kuti Whitney
wakamuitira chipfambi hamheno kuti waive washayei."

" Haa mama kwaive kufuririka."

" Saka shamwari dzinofurira unodzidii? Haugone kugara usina shamwari

here? Unofa ukashaya shamwari, shamwari dzinodiwa ndidzo dzinovaka, saka
ndiudze iye shamwari wako wekukufurira aripi?

" Arikumba kwake."

" Akaroora?"

" Ehe mama?"

" Vari vese nemukadzi ka?"

" Ehe mama."

" Uyu Mai pee wamakutsirana naye muroora wangu arikumba kwake ka?"

245 | P a g e
" Ehe mama."

" Asi iwe wasara wega, mangwana uchadzidza kuti rudo vaviri wetatu
imharadzi, you allowed greedness and people to ruin your relationship and
you can't blame anyone but yourself."

" Mama zvakwana please."

"Eho ndaakuenda ini ndatononoka kusimuka dai asiri Mavis uyu

andirambidza kusimuka ndisina kudya ndingadai ndaenda kare. Saka zviya
waakusara uri wega na Mavis?"

" Tanga tichingogara tese wani nhai mama."

" Asika munhu kadzi iwe uri murume."

" Saka ndowachirwa nekubikirwa naani manje?"

" Ah adii kuuya apo neapo nhai."

" Apo neapo pacho kana pane chinoda kuitika chingasaitika here nhai mama."

" Iwe Stern undikwanire wazvinzwa ,regai ndiyende ukaita mabororo ndiwe
hako wega."

Ndakabva ndanyarara then I got up with her ndikatakura bag ndichibva

ndabuda navo. Mavis Aida kuvaperekedza ndikamuti asare pamba ndookubva
ndaenda namama, ndakaburitsa 20 us yandaive nayo ndokubva ndavapa,
"mukwirise Combi mama."

" Ko zvino iwe unosarwa nei ukandipa yese iyi?"

246 | P a g e
" Ah nhai mama chiiko ndinayo imwe." Ndainge ndatoti to hell nekuripa,
ndoripa mukadzi asiri kundida here? Ndoripa munhu akanakirwa, iye ndiye
aifanira kundiripa nekuti pakunakirwa pake haana kuzoda kudzoka and
akaita breach of contract yekusabatwa iye ndookubatwa. Vakazokwira kombi
ndokubva ndadzokera kumba.

" Saka mama vatokwira nhai?" Mavis asked andiona ndichipinda I just nodded
ndokubva ndapinda mumba ndikanogara ndichiona tv. Akabva ateera ne
breakfast ndokubva andiisira pamberi kuti ndidye.

"Andisikuda ini."

" Ehe asi ndabika saka idyai, mozoramba henyu asi maguta first."

" Saka ndinenge ndicharambei ini ndaguta kare nhai?'

" Tozoita discussion yacho kana mapedza kudya idyai henyu." Ndakatomboda
kuseka zvimwe zvinhu zvaiitwa na Mavis waishaya kuti zvaibva nekupi, I ate
slowly ndokubva ndazoti, "saka nhai Mavis une makore mangani?"

"Ndine 26."

"Hoo have you got kids?"

" Ah zvaita sei interview kutanga nhasi?'

" Sorry handichabvunze." I continued eating ndokubva azoti," andina mwana

" Waitadza nei kuita mwana pese apa?"

247 | P a g e
" Imi hamuna wani." Ndakazviseka, it was stupid of me to even ask such a
question kwaive kuri kutoshaya nyaya chaiko. Anyway ndakazonzwa aakuti,
"ko maiguru vashinga kusadzoka sure?'

" Yaa ndoona sekudaro."

" I'm sorry."

"It's okay I will be fine."

I finished eating my breakfast ndokubva atora ma plates kuno ma cleaner,

andina kuzomuona futi. Ndakatobatwa nehope ndakagara pasofa
ndakazofonerwa na Fidzo kumasikati zvikanzi, "konhaiwe haunyare

"Imbondisiya iwe andisi kunzwa kuda kuenda."

" You can't back down now."

" Tozozviona pa weekend ."

" Weekend kure simbi inorohwa ichapisa."

" Ngatizviite Wednesday Fidzo."

" Okay Wednesday bho."

Ndakabva ndakanda phone kure ndaona Bertha aakundifonera, I ignored her

ndokubva ndarara. Ndakazomutsirwa lunch na Mavis, aisazosvika hake Pana
Whitney pakubika but she was good. Ndakadya ndakanyarara, ndaakuda
kurara zvikanzi, "Murikuda kufira kuhope here nhai bamkuru?"

" I'm a little stressed Mavy."

248 | P a g e
" Let's play a game if you don't mind."

" What kind of a game manje?"

She got up and went to her room, she came back holding cards zvikanzi let's
play.

" Lol unopenga chete iwewe." She smiled and said ngationei kuti anopenga
wacho ndiyani."

She shuffled the cards and gave me mine, we played the game apa
ndichingodyiwa but it was soo much fun the day went by tichingotamba
zvichinakidza. For that moment I totally forgot that I had soo many worries
hanging, I actually had no idea kuti Mavis was that much fun to hang out with,
takaona tv tese, she was commenting pama characters epa ma Indian movie
and ndakatozopedzisira ndaakuziva kuti kunaa Shivaay Nana Rudra
ndichiudzwa zvese. She made dinner ndakatogara naye hanzi musagare mega
munofa nestress huyai kukitchen, so the whole time aibika tichitaura nyaya.

" Saka Mavis how come you ain't married yet?"

"Kusangoda hangu."

Ndakaseka ndikati, " saka mukomana wacho unaye?"

"Asi ndakashata zvekushaya mukomana here nhai?"

" Andina kuti wakashata, it's only that hautaure nezvake and handikunzwe
uchitaura naye ndosaka ndadaro."

" Hoo saka moda kumuziva?" Ndakabva ndaseka zvangu then I said, "Aiwa
handiti ndewako ndogomuzivirei? Saka sei usingade kuroorwa?"

249 | P a g e
" Hamheno pamwe handinyatsomunzwa."

" Ah kumunzwa pai?"

" Pane zvakawanda."

" Tell me ka."

" Amungazvinzwisise." She handed me the plate of food and sat down with me
ndokubva tatanga kudya tese. We were talking the whole time achindiudza
about her family, her struggles and a lot more. We finished eating then we
went back to watching TV.

" Babie wake up?" I said kissing her neck that's when she moved a little.i kept

" I said wake up daddy is here."

" Caston." She said opening her eyes ,akabva akasika kumuka in shock she
wasn't expecting to see me there ,I gave her a hug asati anyanya kuvhunduka.

" Ndauya kuzoona shamwari yangu."

"Ah in the night like this?"

" Ehe ."

" Haa Caston mhani."

She was smiling shyly ndokubva amuka kubva pamubhedha ,takabva tamira
takatarisana and then I said," I dont wanna sleep alone tonight."

" Caston." Ndakabva ndatomutangirira kumuvhiringa brain ,at least I knew

that she could never resist me ,I kept testing her to see if for sure I made her
lose her sanity ,ndakaramba ndakamutarisa and thought kuti sure Stern
aitambisa mukadzi,sure sure 2 years without making your woman come
ndakanzwa tsitsi he did injustice to her but again I was very grateful I was the
one who introduced her to the real thing,I went back to Kadoma when I made
her come so it was the first time she ever came. Ndaifunga ndega
ndakazonzwa zvaakunzi,"I just got here like yesterday ,how can I possibly
sleep over by your house?"

" Ndakakumbira Kare Kuna Terry." She looked shocked zvikanzi, "vakati ehe

" Hausi kuda kupfekwa neshamwari yako."

" Shamwari yangu inondipfeka zvinonakidza."

until I managed to reach her ,turned her around and got her on a 69 position ,I
kept looking at her cookies jar that looked ripe and ready , slowly testing her
juices her body was surely inlove with mine .she began sucking me fast I was
groaning and she was moaning with pleasure,ndainakidzwa nekumudya she
really kept herself super clean and fresh,she was moving her body like I was in

my room was full of her screams giving her what Stern never gave her, I began
spanking her then she said, " some more." I felt her like I never felt her

to call it a night when we felt our bodies exhausted. We just lay flat out and
began dozing , that's when I said, "friend ."

She giggled and said,"what?"

" I wanna talk to you about something."

" What do you wanna talk about? "

" When last did he touch you. "

She got up from the bed and sat, looking at me with an eye that I did not
understand it's meaning, I know it was a crazy question but I really really
wanted to know.

Whitney.

I looked at him as if he had asked the strangest question ever, the question
actually annoyed me big time and I was really angry. I don't even know why I
got soo emotional but the truth is I was not comfortable talking about my sex
life with stern kwaari, the little that I had said was enough.

" Why would you ask me that?"

" I just wanna know that's all?"

" Ndakakuti chii last time, was it necessary for you to ask me that? "

" Actually yes it is. "

Ndakaridza tsamwa zvikanzi, "wandiridzira tsamwa." I ignored him ndokubva

ndabuda mumagumbeze acho hamheno ndaitonzwa hasha dzakasimba. You
can't have sex with me then wapedza woda kundivhunza kuti ndakapedzisira
riini kuitwa na ningi nxaa. I had never been that angry before but apa

258 | P a g e
akandibhowa. I picked up my dress ndokubva ndatanga kupfeka then he took
it away from me.

" I'm sorry if I offended you I just wanted to know." I frowned and said, "asi
urikuti ndirikukuchinjanisai?"

" Handina kudaro." He said then I pulled the bed sheet and covered myself
because I was naked ndokubva aramba akanditarisa.

" Saka urikuedza kuti chii kana uchiti hazvisirizvo zvauri kufunga, even if you
don't say it, I know kuti ndizvo zvauri kufunga, "this," ndakataura
ndichinongedzera iye neni. "This is crazy." Zvinenge zvirikuda kunetsa
ngatizvisiye Caston.

" Zvaurikuti zvirikunetsa nezvipi, nekuti I asked you one simple question here
Tyney, ndozvirikukupa hasha kudaro?"

" Saka ndipindure ka, why would you ask me kuti ndakapedzisira kurara na
Stern riini, ko kana Ari nezuro unoda kuti ndikuudze kuti nezuro?"

" Yes ?"

" Whaaaat. " Ndaitoita kunge ndirikuwedzerwa paraffin ndakaedza kubvuta

hembe kwaari ndokubva aikanda kure neni. Hamheno it was as if kusapindura
kwangu kwaitomupa hasha naiyewo saka both of us were angry.

" Chindipa hembe yangu Caston."

" Why ."

" I wanna go home. "

" Home ndekupi Tyney."

259 | P a g e
" Kwawanditora, that's were I wanna go?"

" Saka ndozvandakutorera kuti uuye kuno then wozoti ndaakudzokera in the
middle of the night ndiitire mushe wanzwa. "

" Iwewe is that why you called me here kuti uzondivhunza zvekurarwa na
Stern? Hauna nyaya ndisiye. "

"Saka hausi kuda kundiudza."

" Handizive mhani ah." Ndainge ndaakunzwa kuda kuchema I had never had
an argument na Cassy and whatever was happening was soo new to me, I
didn't like it at all misodzi yakabva yatanga kuyerera, he tried to hold me
ndikamubvisa pandiri.

Ndakafamba ndikaenda kunotora hembe yangu and put it on, airamba

akanditarisa ndichipfeka, suddenly I felt cheap, like I was not even worth it, if
he was acting the way he was it meant he was never going to believe that I
was carrying his baby. He slowly walked over aona ndapedza kupfeka.

" Where do you wanna go in the night like this?"

" It's a habbit of mine to move around in the night. "

" Tyney! "

" Don't call me that? "

" Hoo so tell me how he calls you maybe I can call you that too."

I picked a pillow ndikamutema nayo, he didn't even move, I wanted to scream

at him I started pushing him, I was doing things that I never ever did with
Stern. With stern I would get mad and keep quiet but with Cassy, he triggered
260 | P a g e
soo many crazy emotions in me and ndaitadza kuzvidzora, I kept pushing him
kusvika andibata maoko. "That's enough Tyney."

" Don't call me that."

" Babie stop."

" I'm not your babie ."

" You are my babie wanzwa? " He was holding my hands really tight .

" What do you want from me Caston, what did you want, handisi hure Sha
maybe that's what you think, but I'm not ."

" Kana usina nyaya nyarara. "

" I said what do you want from me."

" I want you Whitney don't you get it. " He shouted .

I felt weak looking at him, it's the way he looked at me, it's the way he said it,
all the anger vanished.

" I said I want you and I can't share you, you heard me I said I can't share you
Tyney, I am that selfish and I'm proud of it, I want you and I want you all to
myself and not with another man there ndati aiwa." He was pacing up and
down and he kept sighing ndakabva ndapererwa and remained standing
where he had left me, I didn't know what to say, how was I to tell him that I
wanted him just as much, that he was my reason for smiling, that with every
breath I wanted him more and more, that I pictured the rest of my life with
only him.

261 | P a g e
I slowly walked over to him and held his hand, he looked away from me then I
touched his face and made him face me.

"Since my first night with you he never layed his hand on me.That's like
almost two months ago but still before the two months, I had not let him touch
me because he had cheated on me. I hope that satisfies you because I will
never answer the same question again and I can't stand you questioning me
like that. Handisi kuziva what we are doing Cassy, andisi kuziva because every
moment I'm loving you more and I can't stop myself from loving you, I never
bothered to try and I don't wanna try now.

" This is wrong, I can't fight with you like this, Stern and I are over Caston."

"I can never be your friend Tyney, I'm just not good at it and this, hamheno,
hamheno Tyney."

" Cassy I love you."

" And I love you like crazy."

" He won't divorce me Cassy and I'm scared ."

" Do you want to divorce him?"

"What a question."

" You haven't filed for divorce that shows me that you still want to be with
him."

" That's not true."

" Tell me what you want Tyney? Please I need to know."

262 | P a g e
" I want you ."

He pulled me into his arms and kissed me in seconds i was Soo aroused I could
not have enough of him, he removed the dress I was wearing and threw it
away, he had me holding the wall, he lifted my leg and slowly entered me. "
Cassy ...I love you."

" You are allowed to love only me and no other ."

He was hitting me hard and I liked it, the anger, the rage, all of it made him
give it to me deeper and harder.

" This is all mine Tyney, I should be the only man to ever make you come
wanzwa here."

"Yes Cassy."

" Ndati wazvinzwa here."

" Ndazvinzwa."

" Handisikuda munhu padhuze newe, you are mine."

Ndakakotamira again yet holding the wall and he held my waist. He was going
really fast achisvika kumberi mberi, kunaka kwacho kwainge kwanyanya
ndainzwa kuti Cassy murume, Mukanya vainge vaipirwa and zveshuwa zvaive
zvinhu zvavo, "Mukanya." I called him ndakunzwa zvaipa, "Caston please." He
was Soo serious haana kudaira .

" Mukanya ndanzwa."

" Wanzwei."

263 | P a g e

I woke up ndichinzwa slight pain but ndaizvishingisa, handina kuda kubva

pamubhedha ndakaramba ndakarara, kana Terry handina kumuka
ndichimutsvagira hembe akatoshamisika abva kunogeza.

"Amai mwana maakukanganwa kundichenesa manje handiti ka."

" Sorry babie hamheno zvandiri kunzwa." He came close and held my back
zvikanzi, "asi ndakakukwadza musana nezuro here?"

" Lol wainyanyawo nezuro wacho Terry ah."

" Sorry apa ndopafira," he said achindidenha denha ndokubva ndaseka

ndichimubvisa maoko. Akabva asimuka then went to the wardrobe to choose
something to wear, ndaiseka nezvaiburitswa zvacho, kuratidza kuti haana
kana kujaira kusarudza ega. Ndakazvimanikidza kudzika pamubhedha then I
got him clothes to wear. "What would I do without you babie?"

" You would be lost." I said smiling then I turned to go and bath ndichibva
ndarohwa magaro.

265 | P a g e
"Kufunga kwako mainini vari right here nhai babie." Akadaidzira ndikada
kuseka hangu ndakabva ndamira ndakamudongorera ndikati, you better not
be the one to tell Cassy that Whitney is pregnant musiye amuudze ega."

" Haa babie ungabva wandidaro here, if you cant trust me with secrets then
why tell me in the first place." Ndakaseka ndikati, the only reason I tell you ma
secrets is because you are bae, otherwise hauna hana."

" Saka iwe ndiwe une hana here babie?" He smiled naughtily and added,
"makuhwa ese aunonzwa unondiudza saka iwe neni takafanana." I rolled my
eyes ndikati, "Inga hauna chakanaka handikuudze futi zvandinenge ndanzwa."

"Ko ndokwazvasvika here babie usadaro, asi mainini havo munhu bho, it's
unfortunate bamnini vakakanya, kozotiwo ex wife ya Cassy raitove benzi

" Anga akamboita seiko?"

" Haiwa munhu aive nechipo chekushusha siyana nazvo."

" Unotanga nyaya wosiira panzira manje zvinoita here unobhowa, I should at
least know what my sister is up against."

" Kana pasi pa face ne body relax ."

Ndakazembera madziro and said, "saka urikuita basa rekucherechedza

ndookundibata mapendekete zvikanzi, "jealous riri kukupengesa handiti ka."

" Aiwa kuvhunza."

266 | P a g e
"Eho ndichafamba ndakavhara maziso handichawone kana mukadzi kumberi
kwangu."

" Handina kumbodaro ini."

" Wadaro indirectly." Ndakaseka and went in to bath.

" Are you able to bath wega?" He asked and I nodded ndichibva ndanogeza,
honestly it was a disaster ndaitadza kunyatsogeza. I decided to sit mushower
imomo ndakanyatsotandavara, hamheno Terry akanyumwa sei and followed
me akandiwana ndakagara pasi bathing.

"Ko kungondiudza nhai Laura, you don't have to do this on your own I'm right
here." Ndaisada anonoke kubasa being worried about me akabva aenda
kunobvisa hembe dzake then he came back kuzondigezesa, he had become
good at it nekuti most of the time he knew kuti ndainetseka. Ndakagezeswa
ndikapfekedzwa hembe zvese, aona kuti all was done ndakabuda naye
ndikanomugadzirira breakfast yake, akadyira mukitchen ndokubva atobuda
achienda. I went to the bedroom and started packing my bag, all along sure
ndaiita nungo but apa ndakanyatsonzwa kuti I was going to get into labor
soon. Ndakadaidza Tsitsi musikana aindishandira ndikamuti andibatsire
packing everything, ndaingodaidzira iye achirongedza.

" Asi nhai aunt pese apa maidii kurongedza?"

" Ndainge ndakamirira iwewe." Takabva taseka tese, she was very young and
sometimes ndaitosiririswa kuti she worked for me, it had only been a month
since ndamutora and she still had a lot to learn. ndaiita ndichidzidzisa
mbichana mbichana. Ndakabva ndanzi, "saka hamusi kutya here kuenda
kunozvara."
267 | P a g e
" Nyangwe ndikatya ndichangonozvara chete there's no way out Tsitsi
ndozvinoita mukadzi wese. "

" Haa kwete mukadzi wese ko vasingazvare?" Ndakangoti," aaaaah

hazvitaurwe izvozvo."

" Ndatadza papi but they are women who can't have kids, maybe I'm one of
them."

" Why would you say something like that about yourself nhai Tsitsi, thats not a
very nice thing to say." She sighed and said ,"my aunt has always been telling
me that I will never have kids."

I looked at her sad face wondering why someone would say something like
that to such a small child, I could not understand why someone would curse
someone in that way. Ndakabata dumbu rangu and realized how blessed I
was, at least God's favor had been on my side. I could not imagine the stigma
had I been barren, zvimwe zvinhu zvaingove zvakawoma going through,
ndakabva ndamuti, "your aunt is not God wanzwa."

She laughed and said ,"ivavo vakakuudza kui chichaitika well chinoitika for
sure."

Ndakanzwa kuvenga munhu wandainge ndisati ndamboona. The fact yekuti

aive nehutsinye hwakadaro to have fun watching someone suffer, ndakaridza
tsamwa ndikati, "munhu ari pasi pa Mwari remember that." Ndakanzwa
musana uchiruma ruma nemudumbu ndookubva zvanyarara, I had decided
kuti ndainge ndisiri kuenda kubasa.

268 | P a g e
Ndakamborara mbichana pakapedza Tsitsi ndokubva ndazomuka ndanzwa
zvaipa. Ndakamuka pamubhedha musana wasunga shupa yaputika,
ndakangodhonza the sheets ndichibvisa ndokubva ndatora phone trying to
call Terry but aisadaira. Ndakabva ndafonera bamnini Caston nekuti ndiye
munhu akatanga kupinda mupfungwa dzangu.

" Hesi maiguru murikundifungaka,?"

" Bamnini huyai I need to go to the hospital."

" Ko chii?"

" Haa muvhunzo 1000 ndeyeiko ah. " Vakaseka then hung up, ndakafamba
ndakakotama because my back was sore. I kept wishing Terry was there
ndainzwa kuda kuchema chaiko nekutadza kumubata. Ndaive ndaakunzwa
hasha dzekuti ambondisiirei ndiri ndega, kutokanganwa kuti he had to go to
work but still ndakangobhowekana, pakazosvika bamnini I was pacing up and
down nehasha.

" Are you in labor maiguru."

" Aiwa bamnini kungofamba fambawo hangu."

" Why? "

" Of course I'm in labor, hamusi kuona here ."

" Okay okay sorry maiguru."

He came in and grabbed my bag zvikanzi handei, ndakaiswa mumota and

drove to avenues apa ndichingotukirira.

" Terry bamnini, Terry imbwa."

269 | P a g e
" Aitasei mhai maiguru. "

" Aripi baminini just tell me aripi, he's somewhere having fun mwana wake
achinditambudza. "

" He must be busy at work relax maiguru."

" Zvamuri kutaura mazviwanepi. "

" Sorry maiguru was just guessing."

" Bva nyararai. "

He went quiet and drove fast, ndakazonzwa vaakudaira phone zvikanzi,"

mukadzi wako arikuda kundimedza huya ku avenues." Ndakabva ndatoziva
kuti hakuna mumwe ndi Terry chete, vachikata ndakaona Terry achindifonera
but I ignored him.

"Babie kani daira, sorry I'm on my way i got tied up at work." That's the
message he sent but I was angry handina kumupindura, ndakasvika
ndaakunzwa kuti hazvichaita. They took me straight to the labor where I gave
birth before Terry could even make it, apa he always used to say I wanna be
there when my baby gets born. We knew it was going to be a boy that's what
the scan had said and yes it was a beautiful baby boy.

Ndakanyara pakazopinda bamnini na Terry kuzondiona the first I said was,

"I'm really sorry bamnini." Vakabva vafa nekuseka zvikanzi, "muchandiripa
henyu."

Terry walked over and kissed me zvikanzi, thank you babie and I'm sorry I
wasn't there, my heart is sore but I'm happy you made me a daddy.

270 | P a g e
" It was so sore Terry."

" Of course it had to be sore babie ok uchapora."

"Where were you."

" Kubasa babie sorry apa ndarwadziwa I wanted to be there, hanzi wanga
uchivhundutsira bamnini."

Whitney akabva apinda achisekerera, haana kuvhunza zvakawanda all she

wanted was to see the baby. Saka akangosimudza nekupugwa ma kisses
zvikanzi, "saka munhu uyu atobuda mamuri maiguru?" I laughed and said ,
"ukwane Whitney."

" Ndirikuda kunyatsonzwisisa." she said zvikanzi na Terry,

ndozvamuchaitawo mainini, ndakatya ndikati munhu wangu aakuzoputitsa
chokwadi chiye, ndakangomupa ziso ndokubva anyarara.

" Nhai amai hamusi kundiona here." Caston said then Whitney smiled shyly
and went to him.

Caston.

"Congratulations my man." I said ndichibata bendekete ra Terry who seemed

to be Soo focused on his son, ndakanzwa a bit jealous and wished I had one.
He was Soo adorable, I could not stop admiring him. Ndakatarisa Tyney and
wondered if ever she was to give me a baby how would the baby be like. I was
beginning to have a strong desire of getting her pregnant, already I knew
about the skipping pills she had no idea how much I didn't want her to be on
any pill but ndaishaya kuti ndomuudza sei. Ndaisada kumuendera pamberi,
but another mind was telling me she was pregnant, hamheno call it instinct
but hamheno I kept feeling as if ndaive ndamumitisa chete.

Ndakamutarisa and started thinking about the argument we had the previous
night, maybe it was wrong timing but I had to be sure and if she was pregnant
I was seriously hoping kuti Stern never touched her. Kutozvifunga ndainzwa
kubhowekana kuri serious and I didn't want to have doubts in my head about
the child's DNA. I may have asked at the wrong time, it's only kuti I had a
problem of asking things randomly and when I ask ndinenge ndichida
mhinduro ipapo ipapo.

272 | P a g e
After a few minutes ndipo pandakazoti, "maiguru I have to go musare na babie
zvakanaka. "

" Thank you Soo much bamnini, ndingadai ndazvarira kumba nhasi." She said
smiling ndipo pandakazoti, "ko what's the baby's name?" Vakatarisana
lovingly then Terry said, "Trey."

" Yaaa heh, ini zii semunhu anonakirwa nemazita akanaka." Takaseka ndikati
,"toonana baba Trey. "

"Saka makorokoto arikuuya riini.?" Terry asked ndokubva ndati Kuna Tyney,
"nhai mama, makorokoto tirikuendesa riini." She smiled shyly zvikanzi
andizive ini." I looked at Terry ndikati, "pa weekend."

Ndakabva ndatorana na Whitney and left nekuti Whitney's mother was on the
way ndaisada kudhumana navo, we walked to the car then I said, "urikuda
cake."

"Urikundivhunza zvaunoziva sei?" Ndakaramba ndakamutarisa, she definitely

had to be pregnant and that was giving me kamwe ka excitement. I had my
fingers crossed that I wasn't getting excited for nothing, the silly questions
were to confirm my suspicions. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She
asked ndokubva atarisa kuside.

"Nekuti uri mama." She laughed ndokubva ati, "why do you keep calling me
that?"

"Hamheno it's my new liking." Ndakabva ndamutsa mota then we left going to
the coffee shop. Takasvika zvikanzi, "ndirikuda vanilla cake with strawberry
filling." Ndakangoseka and ordered ndakanyarara ndokubva tagara pasi and

273 | P a g e
shared the cake hamheno ndakabvumidzwa sei nekuti last time ndainge
ndambogumbukirwa.

"Your phone is ringing ." She said ndokubva ndaitarisa, ndakasimudza and
answered it was a Chinese line.

" Hello there." The person laughed zvikanzi, "the way you said hello there is
ndiitire serious how are you." It was Natalie ndakabva ndaseka ndikati,
"bvapo hesi?"

" I'm okay, I found those worksuits ndotenga mangani?"

" Anokwana Mari yako."

" Are you saying kuti nyangwe 500 or thousand or more here nhai?"

" Iwe I have Soo many workers zvekuti your first lot won't even be enough
saka ita zvinokuitira ."

"Okay fine saka ndaakungotenga nemari yangu yese."

" It's okay urikuuya riiniko?"

" Mangawana."

" Ok pane zvandirikuda kuti uuye nazvo."

" Zvinenge chii?"

" Enda pa app."

I went on app then I told her kuti ndaida a very nice baby prem, akaseka
zvikanzi, "asi wakamitisa here kana wakamitisa handiuye nayo."

274 | P a g e
" Bvapo mani Natty huya nayo chete."

" Andidi kutengera ma babie ako zvinhu."

" Unoda kutengera ani saka?"

" Ndoda kutengera iwewe."

" Ko handiti I business here nhai."

" Ah iwe.

She went offline right away ndakabva ndaisa my phone kure, ndakasimudza
musoro ndikaona ndakatariswa neziso rekuda kuziva kuti ndainge
ndichitaura nani. Ndakapotsa ndaseka but I remained still pasina kana

"ko chii?"

"Hapana." Kana cake racho rakabva rasiiwa, kana kuti hasha dzacho mubatiro
wadzo, I was wondering if I actually took long on the phone, but it wasn't that
long. Ndakabva ndaswedera padhuze naye and took her hand, "you are
making me miss you when you are right here."

" Handiti wanga uchiita gore rese on the phone?" Ndakabva ndaziva kuti

" Chii Chacho."

"We are in public." She giggled ndokubva ndamusiya, all I wanted was that
smile. "sorry ndanonoka kubva paphone."
275 | P a g e
"Iwe wanga uchimbononokerei."

" I wanted you to kiss me."

" Why do you have to make me jealous like that." She asked apa achitarisa
kuside nekunyara.

" Saka you were jealous."

" Ehe kunzwa kuvaviwa." Ndakaseka ndokubva ndamuti, "kwana wanzwa."

" Ndiwe urikuita ndidaro."

" Handichazviita futi sorry. "

I made her face me then I gave her deep kisses, ndakamusiya aakufemeruka, I
smiled ndikati, "ndaakuenda kubasa, will pick you up later."

" Okay." She said ndokubva tabuda tese, I could see she was tired from the
previous night and morning. Ndaive ndamunetesa and the way we had made
love ndaitonzwa tsitsi kuti ndaive ndamusvuura apa munhu wacho aive ne
jackpot rairamba riri tight kunge achasvuura mukanya. Ndakamusiya
aakutosvika pabasa ndokubva ndanosangana na Oliver ku head office.
Ndakasvika akatogara hake pachair yangu akaturika makumbo patable,
ndakaseka ndikati boss murisei?"

"you took long."

" Ndanga ndina maiguru vako?"

He laughed zvikanzi saka matoshinga mukoma?"

" Handina kudaro, chikuru rudo, I have never seen you this happy I'm very

"I'm suspecting kuti ndakamitisa." Akabva afa nekuseka and said, "ka

" Ok ndinenge ndakamupa nhumbu."

"Makamira kufaya ma blank here sezvamaiita na Linda."

" Ukwane that was a different case takakasika kupera connection."

Well hamheno, I don't know much about love, but I'm happy for those that

He started laughing ndokubva ndavhura bag remari ndikamuti atore yaaida.

277 | P a g e

" I collected nezuro, usatye my P1 is always loaded ."

" You need to change your security, pane munhu wandisiri kuona mushe."

Ndakadzokera kubasa all smiles ,kamwana ka Laura was too cute,I found

"I'm just inlove siyana neni." Ndakaseka ndichitomudarika.

"Mira kani, waona mwana here?"

"Akanaka shaa ndamuona haa akanaka."

" Tione ka ma pictures." Ndakabva ndanomuratidza, she kept drooling over

Ndapedza ndakambozorora semunhu aive atombononoka kumuka makuseni

kumeso ndichida kuona kuti hakuna masiriri here iye ndookubva atanga
kuseka. "Ko paunorara kumba womuka makuseni unodii kuvhunduka?"
279 | P a g e
"Zvakashata sneaking up on me." I said taking my mirror out ndichizvitarisa
but all was well ndaingove nemalines kumeso ekutsimbirira pa desk.

" I didn't sneak up on you babie, I found you sleeping ndokubva ndakusiya
wakazororora, andidi zvekudisturber ana mama kana vakarara."

"Vangani vana mama vacho nhai?"

"Just you. Pakabva papinda a guy taller than Cassy achisekerera achibva agara

smiled and never commented. "Hesi babie," The guy said, again I looked at
Cassy who kept looking down, I looked back at the guy ndikati, "mauya
kuzongogara pa table makanditarisa?"

He laughed and said, "chete chete babie ndozvandafambira."

"Hoo ndaakuenda ini musare mushe pa table."

"Babie chill." Cassy said, this is bamnini, his real name is Calton nyangwe havo
vachizviti Oliver." Ndakabva ndatanga kuseka, they didn't look Soo much alike
zvekuti it never clicked in my head kuti they were brothers, but I thought that
maybe ishamwari neshamwari. Apa ndainzwa kuda kutaura zvisina basa I
smiled shyly and said, "hesi bamnini."

"Hesi maiguru, and makanaka."

"Sure here bamnini." I shyly looked at Cassy who winked at me zvikanzi na

bamnini.

"Ehe makanakisa kudarika zvandakamboona?"

"Saka you are comparing me nhai baminini?"

280 | P a g e
"No I'm telling you that you are a very pretty woman maiguru and

We both laughed zvikanzi, "handei."

"Tirikuenda kupi?" He gave me his hand kuti ndisimuke, he took my hand bag
ndokubva vese vabuda neni zvikanzi nabamnini, "mune nzara ka gulez."

I laughed and said"Hezvo bamnini asi munoporofita?"

"Ehe ndinoporofita." He laughed then said saka murikuda something heavy

handiti?"

"Lol chiporofita chengu chakanyanya."

"Something heavy like sadza ka." He asked again, Ndakabva ndanyatsoseka

and that's what I wanted .

"Ehe sadza ne beef ."

"Very good hande kusadza nebeef." We walked ndakabatwa ruoko nabamnini

kusvika tasvika kwataitenga sadza, apa rainhuwirira zvokuti. I really wished
kuti dai vandipa sadza repasi pasi pepoto, rine kakunhuhwa kutsva, ndiro
randainzwa kuda iroro. Ndainyara kutaura manje ndakazodhonzera bamnini
paside ndikati, "sorry bamnini vaudzei kuti ndoda sadza repasi pasi pepoto."

He looked at me zviri weird and smiled zvikanzi, "as you wish, zvido zvenyu
kunyanya." Ndakanyara asi ndainge ndataura, Cassy was sitting hake
akatarisa kwatiri, mukadzi aisaver akaseka akatarisa kwandiri when bamnini
went to tell her about my request. Ndakabva ndafamba and went to Cassy
ndikati, "why didn't you tell me that you were coming with him!"

281 | P a g e
"Surprise babie."

"He is nice."

"You like him?"

I nodded after some minutes sadza rangu richibva rauya, the meat was
smelling nice and ndiyo yandakatanga kunhonga nekutodya, ndaidya vese
vakanditarisa ndakanyatsoti hamheno ikoko. Cassy received a call achibva ati
he had to rush somewhere timumirire, I continued eating sadza rangu but
suddenly everything changed, the smell was nolonger pleasant and my
stomach began turning I felt naseous.

"What's wrong?" Bamnini asked but I never answered nekuti ndainzwa mate
azara mukanwa, ndakangosimuka and rushed to the toilet where I vomited
zvakaipa. I felt like matumbu ainge aakuda kubuda nekurutsa chete.

"Are you okay." I heard a female voice."

"I will be fine don't worry." I said without looking to see who it was. I could
hear her walking out ndakabva ndagara pasi feeling weak,after some seconds
I forced myself to get up and then I washed my mouth and face. I was not
much of a make up person but ndakazongozvigadzirisa gadzirisa and slowly
walked back kwaive kuna bamnini.

Vakasimuka and pulled a chair for me asking me if I was ok, ndakangonyepa

kuti I was fine zvikanzi, "are you feeling sick?"

"No I'm not ."

"But you just vomited all of your food?"

282 | P a g e
Ndakavhunduka ndikati, "who told you that?"

"I sent someone to check on you since I could not possibly get into the ladies
toilet she told me that you were vomiting badly."

"Haaa she exaggerated baminini, nditori right ini."

"You look pale let's go to the doctor."

"Whaaaat noway, no, we can't go to the doctor."

He smiled and said, "maiguru, are you pregnant?"

"Whaaaat? No not at all I'm not at all pregnant, why would I be pregnant?"

Ndakabva ndaramba kumutarisa, his questions aitondivhundutsa and my

answers seemed as if they were not satisfying him, ne two minutes kudaro
hamheno kuti ainge aona zvakawanda kudaro sei. Ndakanzwa moyo kumira
futi ndikasimuka chinyararire and went to the toilet, ndakatanga kupopota
ndirimo ndakabata dumbu ndikati, "nhaiwe dzikama ko chiiko nhai? Why are
you doing this to me, it's not the right time."

Ndakadzokera kunogara pasi ,Oliver looked at me zvikanzi, "mapedza kurutsa

maiguru?"

I didn't answer him he carried on zvikanzi, "why are you scared of telling him
that you are pregnant."

"I'm not pregnant?"

"You are pregnant ?"

"There was something wrong with the meat ."

283 | P a g e
"There was absolutely nothing wrong with the meat but the babie doesn't
want meat anymore."

"The baby wants.... " Ndakabva ndanyarara after I realised that by slip of the
tongue ndainge ndatotaura kuti I was pregnant, ndakabva ndashaya kana
zvekutaura and ndakabva ndaona Cassy achifamba kudzoka.

"You said the baby wants what?"

"Sssshhhh please don't tell him I'm begging you. "

"Why? "

"We never agreed on this and I would not want him kuti andifungire
zvisirizvo."

"Asi haasi mwana wedu here wamuri kuda kuviga nhai maiguru?"

Akabva asvika before I could answer, takangotarisana na Oliver, he had a

funny smile on his face that I decided to ignore ndakabva ndati Kuna Cassy, "I
have to go to the hospital."

"Yes ndabva kutaura na Terry he said he is on his way there for 6 o'clock
visit."

Takabva tasimuka but Oliver didn't go with us, he went his own direction,
Cassy dropped me off by the hospital ndokubva aenda because mama was
there and I was going home na bamkuru Terry. Ndakasvika kamwana
kakaunganirwa nehama dzekwababa vacho, bamnini Talent, Tatenda ne sister
yacho Mai Tailor. It had been long since taonana ndakaita kudzvanyiwa

avakushandira kunze, it was really good to see everyone. I greeted mama who

" Maswera sei Mai Trey na mbuya va Trey." Mama smiled zvikanzi ," kwasara

Tatopedza tagara mumota hamhenoo munhu akatanga kundifonera ne private
