"But you were talking about her, you seemed really angry with her, Don't l deserve to know about her, like what she did to you?" She asked him.
Mrs Mukhongo didn't receive an answer as her husband left her alone in the sitting room and went straight to the bedroom after saying.
"I am tired of your nagging,l don't want to be disturbed".
She wanted to lash out at him but restricted herself. They have been married for twenty five years now. They were supposed to celebrate silver jubilee in three days time. They have a daughter together who is grown up now. It was the first time he raised his voice on her.
'This is the first time my husband raised his voice on me, The first time avoid my eye contact, the first time avoiding my question. The first time walking out on me. The first time he didn't greet me when we haven't spent a night together. Something is wrong somewhere. How can a person change overnight?...... Talking of a woman. All board members of Luhyahood company were men, l have never seen a woman' Mrs Mukhongo was full of different thoughts as she was standing in the sitting room.
This was not her husband. A man she fell in love with when she was only eighteen years old. She didn't even enjoy her teenage live. Going to different dates with different men who are chasing after you, being wooed for a long time, playing hard to get. Being heartbroken. She never experienced that, and she never regretted anything.
Because the man that she fell in love with was beyond perfect, she was her Mr Right. Even her parents uproved of them when they find out that she was already pregnant yet she hadn't introduced the man to her parents.
The man made her experience haven on earth. The man who gave her anything she ever asked. He was caring, loving, romantic and all those qualities that women ever needed in a money had all the characters, qualities, qualifications name them.
That's why she was surprised when he raised his voice on her. It was a good thing that he had apologized,but he went a head and behaved in a strange way. In a nights time things have already changed. She felt that she doesn't know him anymore. Mrs Mukhongo didn't know when she drifted off to slumber land.
Mr Mukhongo took a bath to wash away ligour smell. He lied down on the bed as he wished to strangle himself to death. He wished he didn't open his mouth when he came in. He wished he had just greeted her even if she could quarrell him on taking alcohol. He wished he didn't agree to that woman on attending the party with him. Their is a wise saying that goes regret comes after.
What is done is done he can't change the fact the way he had behaved earlier was the first time since he married her.
