Running Away From Romeo Chapter 7
A month later Emmanuel still hadn’t told the wife about my pregnancy but I didn’t want to rush him so I was calm about it even though he promised to tell the wife. I was 4 months pregnant when I stalked Emmanuel’s wife on facebook only to discover that Emmanuel and her travelled to Abu Dhabi for their second anniversary. I became jealous and bitter. I was the one pregnant for him, I was the one cooking all his traditional food, I was the one washing his clothes and yet he took his wife Mundia for a vacation. I called Charity to come and calm me down. When she came she said “ok ba Emma isn’t being fair, you are the one with a wife package and yet he does this to you. You know what, immediately he comes back from his trip, show up at his house. Since he isn’t telling his wife about your pregnancy, we will deliver the news to her.”
3 days later, Emmanuel paid me a visit with a suitcase full with new clothes for myself and our baby. I asked him where he bought them then he said “my friend travelled out of the country so I told him to buy some stuff for you and the baby.” He lied to me, he looked straight in my eyes and lied to me. I got upset and said “enough of your silly games. I’m almost 5 months pregnant with your first child but you haven’t introduced me to your family and you haven’t told your wife about us instead you took her to Abu Dhabi and all I get is clothes. Clothes that I can buy on my own. You really have guts.” He got upset and left my house and I told myself “OK… EMMANUEL THINKS THIS IS A JOKE OR A GAME. ILL SHOW HIM HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME.”
The next morning I drove to Emmanuel’s house and knocked at the door. His maid opened the door then I asked her to call her madam. Emmanuel’s wife came outside and asked me what I wanted. I smiled, drank some water then said “I’ll go straight to the point. You see this baby I’m carrying, Emmanuel is responsible for my pregnancy. I’ve waited for him to tell you but he doesn’t.” Emmanuel’s wife started screaming like a mad woman and then she was failing to breathe like an asthmatic patient. I didn’t know what to do then Emmanuel came outside and after he saw me he just kept quiet. His wife who was on the floor crying stood up and said “I trusted you Emmanuel. You were my world. Here I was telling my friends and family how perfect you are not knowing that you were having an affair behind my back. An affair which led to expecting a baby. I can’t take this. You will have to choose between me and her because I will not sit in this house knowing fully well that you fathered a child outside marriage. Hurry up and choose who you want.” Emmanuel looked at me then he looked at his wife and said “that’s one tough decision to make. I love you Mundia, we have been married for two years. Even though we have no kids but you pushed me to have an extra marital affair. You stopped cleaning our house instead you brought a maid, you stopped cooking for me and when you cooked it was only rice, all those English foods, you stopped having fun with me. You started arguing a lot with my relatives and you don’t allow me send them money or groceries. Chipo on the other hand has been good to me. I never even meant to date her but it happened. She knows how to take care of a man and now she is pregnant.” Mundia couldn’t handle it, she kept on crying and I felt bad for her. I tried to talk to her then she said “I can’t do this Emmanuel. I’m moving out of the house. I need some time to think if I really want to remain married to you.” She went inside the house and started packing her clothes. Even though I felt bad for her at least she found out about her husband.
