Marriage Trouble:- I was leaning over at my balcony, when my neighbors wife rushed out of the house in an unpleasant mood and sat down outside their fence. Imagining what was going on, her husband walked out to her and said, what are you doing out here? But she did not respond. Midway walking away, he stopped and said, Im hungry, I want to eat. She still did not say a word. Her husband glanced around, maybe checking if someone was looking, at that point, I looked away. Noticing my presence, he walked inside with his face facing down(I supposed, in shame) His wife took a stroll on the street and we had eye contact and she greeted, I responded and walked inside my house. Few minutes later, there was a knock at my gate and I asked my daughter to check and open the gate and lo, it was her. She came in and said she just wanted to say hello. I took a quick glance at her and looked away without saying a word. I later asked my daughter to offer her something but she refused to take anything so I continued seeing the movie: The good Wife, I was seeing before she came in. Few minutes later I asked, how is your husband? I dont know, mheee he should be fine. She said. I smiled and returned my attention to the movie. Aunt, my husband is cheating on me, she said. How are you sure of that? I asked. As we were coming back from somewhere, my husband abruptly stopped the car by the roadside, excused himself and rushed to a lady standing by the road side, they hugged warmly and charted excitedly. Later, he came into the car and drove off, she said. And that was your conclusion of cheating on you? I asked. Yes, of course. What could be the meaning to that if they are not friends? I dont know. But did he introduce you to the lady as his wife? Im not interested in that, she said angrily. I did not want to tell her that she was being rude to me by answering in that manner, because she was visibly angry. I kept quiet for a while and said, I thought I overheard him telling you he was hungry? He should go and make his food himself or better still, he should go and ask the lady to make food for him. I smiled and thought, thats childish, but I know she will grow up someday. So u will allow him eat another womans food? I asked. I dont care. She responded sharply. It seems to me you are pregnant, say about three months and you have a boy of about a year old? I asked. Yes, and he is ten months old, she said. And you dont care about your husband? Why did you come here to tell me about your husband when you do not care about him? I asked. Just to ease my mind and maybe seek your advice. But before Ill say anything to you, go and give him his food. My mother once told me something before I got married, she said, no matter what the quarrel is between you and your husband, make sure you give him food, good food, never allow him go outside to eat. So, Im telling you the same now. Go back home and give him food, then you can come back for us to talk about the so called cheating on you. I said. You do not believe me? She asked. There is nothing to believe about now, just go first. She left but did not come back that day. The next day being Sunday, I saw the two of them in car charting and smiling while going to the church, I smiled and minded my business. That evening as I was getting ready to go to the saloon, they visited. Thank you for yesterday, you saved a situation. Her husband said. I thank God, I responded. She actually made me very angry when she told me to go to hell, I never expected such from her, but before I finished the food she gave me, my mind was free. He said. And he slapped me, his wife cut in. I do not want to sound feminist neither do I want to loose my natural trait of rationality. But why are you cheating on her? I asked him. Is that what she said? Not really, but the hugging and the rest had a deep story to tell. I will only advise that the hugging should not be that intimate when next a hugging incident occurs so you wont hurt her feeling. For her words, I believe they were momentary. Then I told her a saying my father once told me if the leg goes for a war, itll definitely come back, but when the mouth goes, it stays. I advised her not to speak to him when she is very angry, she could regrate her words later and they could reduce his minds feelings for her. And to the man i said, no one touches a pregnant woman, no matter how angry he is. They stayed a while, thanked me and left. I do not know if I gave a fair judgment, what do you think?
