“Yeah, I’m very serious…I’m pregnant Binta…I’m so confuse..I don’t know what to do now..I didn’t plan to be pregnant now.. Not now when I’m almost actualizing my plans…I’m pregnant…7weeks gone alre-ady… Binta you aren’t saying anything… I said I’m pregnant…
” I heard you the first time Joda, exactly what Denis wanted, well with a Baby on the way that will thwart plans for you… But all the same be strong, I didn’t want you to marry that man and you finally did, now you are pregnant with his child, he will be so happy, slow down with the plan, things will still work out for your good… I wish I can happily say congrats to you Joda.. But I still don’t like Denis but I will love you and that baby as if we c@m£ from one wo-mb, Denis wanted to get you pregnant by all means so that he can tire you down, now he has succeeded, but you must not allow him to put you where you don’t want to be because you are his wife or soon to be mother of his child, you are still going to divorce that guy, he was never the Man for you, any way congrats… I don’t want to make you sad…
“The baby is not for Denis..
” funny you Joda… If the baby is not for Denis, your husband or soon to be ex…then who are you pregnant for… Holy spirit? I’m sorry… I’m not really joking because this is serious issue… How do you mean…?
“Is for… For Kuria… I’m pregnant for Kuria… He was the last Man I met…Binta…
” waaaaat…are you kidding me…oh my God… Joda.. You are really pregnant for Kuria…then big congratulation girl… So happy everything is turning out fine… Denis will definitely loose, he will loose every thing he acquired throu-gh you, he will loose you and he will loose your child because is not his, ooh that guy thought he was smart… He is the biggest loser of the century, we are gathering enough evidence on him… Oh mine I love this…Joda you don’t nee-d to be sad..is a thing of Joy… Get up let’s pay Kuria a visit…I know you and Kuria have being avoiding each other.. Is high time you face him and apologise because when I see a good Man I will know…and Kuria is a nice person who hates to be hurt… And you actually bruised his ego, but it can be amended…and you will amend it with your self and by yourself… Get up baby girl… Smile, no more sad face because I got you…
“Binta…you don’t un-derstand… I still love Denis… I hate to watch him and Vanessa on my CCTV iPad… I st©p watching because it hurts so much…I love him and he is still my husband…
” snap out of that.. Did he use jazz on you that after seeing and hearing how he plan to take over everything from you, dump you and have a better life with his Vanessa… You listened to everything they planned…you watch them have S-x in your house…thinking you aren’t aware.. They use to drug you to do it until you found out… What is it in him that you love… Tell me what you love about Denis… Are you crazy Joda… Or he bewitched you with love…I would have given you are sl@p so that your br@in can reset in order…get up my friend…I know when you see Kuria you will forget about Denis… I’m re-ady to cure you of that stupid thing you call love…
We later drove down to Kuria’s place..he wasn’t at home, his car was at the garage, which means he was at his sto-re, we knew he will be there since he isn’t at home, we drove down to his vegetable shop,
We didn’t see him but he was around in his office, he probably saw us from the CCTV in his office because immediately one of his staff Left to call him we saw him walking toward us, my stomach made a sound… My heart began to beat fas-ter, I couldn’t look at him fully on his face, suddenly I felt headache… I rob my forehead…Binta spoke as he met up with us
“Hey Kuria… How are you doing today… We were at your place earlier but got the sign that you will be
at the sto-re… You look good as usual…
” yeah Binta… I’m good… Thanks… Joda…how… Are you… Is being a while I saw you… Hope you are okay…
I looked at his face and he smiled… He acts as if he wasn’t angry with me… I replied him with a smile too that I was fine, he nodded his head before looking at Binta, I miss his fine smiling face… I missed everything about him…Binta was right when she said I will forget Denis ones I set my eyes on Kuria, the headache was coming with f0r磅 I moved close to a wall to relax, Binta told him I have something to Tell him, he said okay without really listening to Binta as he c@m£ to me and held my shoulder asking if I was alright I smiled, Binta replied him, she told him I was just tired… He suggest we go to his place and we Left, he collected my car keys and he drove us down.
When we got into his place, something nice filled my nose, it smells like food, Binta asked what exactly was the smell he said it was cake, Jude did his birthday yesterday, so few of his friends c@m£ around and he made cake for them, that the remaining one was in his fridge, before Binta could ask for some he alre-ady got it for us, it looks so delicious, it was a fruity cake, I wanted some, i wanted binta to look at me so that i can give her sign to cut out some for me but she was busy loading the cake into her mouth, without a care, my stomach made another sound, i seriously wanted some but he was looking at me and I was shy to cut by myself, as if he noticed and got a disposable plates out and cut for me, allowing Binta to served herself, I wondered how he knew my thought, I couldn’t even tell Binta because she may end up embarras-sing me, Binta love food.
Kuria is good with what he does, a super good Cook and an interior deco Who runs a vegetable sto-re, I envy him..I envy the woman he will get married to because she will have a super Man as husband, I silently wish i was his wife and not Denis wife, I thought of my baby, my heart began to beat fas-ter, how do I even tell him he is the Father of my unborn child, how will he take the news, I looked at him and he was still looking at me and suddenly looked away, Binta was busy with cakes and drinks that I prayed for her silently for her that it won’t have a side effects on her, with her mouth Full she glanced towards me and win-ked at me, with cake crumbs scattered on her face, she looks so crazy that I boast out laughing, she’ always feel at home whenever she’s at Kuria’s place, she act like is her house and Kuria likes her realness, as I laughed, she held her mouth and laugh too, the scenes looks so funny that Kuria joined in the laughter.
After she swallowed the thing in her mouth she stood up with another plate of cake in a plat with drink, she told Kuria that I have something to say to him, she stood up and walked out on us
The living room fell silent, Kuria who was sitting at the dining with me looked at me shyly before saying
“I missed you Joda.. So much…I’m Glad you c@m£…how are you doing…
” I thought you didn’t want to see me again after the last time… I’m really sorry Kuria… I didn’t mean to take advantage of you…I know you were hurt…I’m so sorry…
“Yeah…me too, I was so hurt Joda… But later I started missing you, I wished I could just see your beautiful face again, is being more than a month…. Is all in the past Joda.. I’m Glad you c@m£…how are you…
” thank you Kuria… I’m fine just having headache…
“Headache… I’m coming let me get you something, you will feel fine in a seconds..
He stood up and Left and returned with a glas-s of green content, and gave me to drink, I didn’t want to take anything that will harm my baby, but i trust Kuria but I wanted to know if is safe for a pregnant woman,
” go ahead and drink it all, you act like you are scared, don’t be, I will never hurt you joda…is herbal green tea, it will St©p the headache…
“I trust you Kuria…I..I…don’t know if is safe for… me…if is safe for preg…..woman….. I’m… Pre….
The word got stock on My throat, I looked at him his face changed, I looked away, he gently turned my face to him
“You are pregnant… Uuuh….is nothing to be ashamed of, congratulation Joda… Your husband will be so happy… I’m also happy for you… Is called for celebr@tion… Hmmm….how I wish I was your husband… I Will be extra joyful….that’s crazy….take your drink is safe for you and your baby…
I love you joda… I still do…and will be here for you if you ever nee-d me, is sound very stupid to hear that I’m in love with another Man’s wife, I Will get my woman someday, love her with all my heart and she will give me children be cause I want a big happy family…relax Joda and take your drink… Is safe…
I smile and didn’t know what to say him, I went close and k!sshis forehead, I sat back and took the drink, he smiled expressing his white well set gaped teeth,
I wanted to be seeing him everyday because he is an antidote to my happiness, I love Kuria, he is truly a good man as Binta will say, some day i will muster courage to tell him he is the father if my Baby, today isn’t the right time, i told him to come and starts the architecture work in my place and he agreed, atleast I will get to see him everyday,
I drove home with Binta and saw Denis, he bought so many beautiful bouquet Flowers for me, many gifts
I asked him what we are celebr@ting because today wasnt my birthday
He was so happy and was k!ss!ngme all over, he was full of joy as he said that the doctor called congratulating him, he said we are expecting a baby..
Episode 14.
“I knew you wanted to surprise me with the news when you get back so I decided to surprise you instead by getting your best Flowers and things you love, I’m so happy Joda, we will finally have the baby we have being anticipating for, doctor knew how we wanted this,that was why he called thinking you have alre-ady told me…I love you so such Joda… You are my beautiful wife and the mother of my child…
” Binta was sitting at one corner looking at us as Denis hvgged me I face Binta who rolled her eyes and stick out her ton-gue for Denis who was backing her, I suddenly boasts out laughing as Binta made funny face to Denis, calling him a loser silently that only me saw and un-derstand… I suddenly boast out laughing and Denis thought I was overjoyed over the baby news just as he was, he also joined in and laugh not knowing exactly why I’m laughing…he was actually laughing at his own foolishness without knowing
I felt so sorry for him because he is happy over another man’s pregnancy…
Denis was so happy that he even ask me and Binta to dress up he was taking us out, it was very surprising because he was never a friend of Binta, we both said were tired maybe next time, he agreed and said he will go and buy whatever we want to eat For us…
We were alre-ady filled up from Kuria’s place so I called him and asked him to relax we will have another day to celebr@te,
Vanessa c@m£, when she ha-rd the news she c@m£ to congratulate me, Binta looked at me without a word, I thanked Vanessa, she stayed a little while before going, Binta boasts out laughing again, as she closes the door behind her, i looked throu-gh my CCTV iPad and saw her behind my door trying to eavesdrop on us, I showed Binta and she ti-ptoed to the door and f0rç£fully pu-ll-ed it open Vanessa fell on the floor like a bag of sand, Binta acted surprise and said “Vanessa didn’t know you are relaxing on the door…thought you are alre-ady gone”
Vanessa frown before standing up and walking away, Binta shut the door and we started laughing again,
Binta stayed with me for three days before going, Denis was unable to come to me at night because of I told him I nee-ded my friend to stay with me, he listen to whatever I say and does whatever I demand since he discovered about the pregnancy, even from My CCTV videos, he no longer t©uçhes Vanessa at night, which resulted to one of their silent quarrel in the mid night when they thought every one was asleep,
Binta has asked me to go and warn our family doctor over his unZi-pped mouth, he wasn’t the one to pas-s the news to Denis but me and now Denis will not allow me to rest because of the Baby he thought is his,
Before Binta left I drove with her to the doctors place and cautioned him over letting my husband know anything about me and the baby, he sincerely apologised and promise it won’t happen again, Binta also warned me about having intim-acy with my husband, she asked me to try and avoid it until my lawyer serves the divorce paper which will still take time because of my pres£nt condition, the truth is I don’t know how Long I can avoid Denis,
I called Kuria and asked him when he was coming over, he agreed to come the following day I s£nt him my address
The following day he drove down in his brown SUV jeep, immediately I sighted his car driving towards my gate I knew he was the one, I alre-ady told the security to open gate for him and as I watched from my upstairs they quic-kly opened the gate for him and he drove in, I was alre-ady down stairs when he c@m£ into the House, Denis was around, Vanessa wasn’t home, i have alre-ady told Denis about one of my friend who is into deco, coming to renovate our House and he quic-kly agreed and said I can have anything that makes me happy,
Denis was acting all Nice this period,
So I forgot myself and ran to Kuria throwing myself in to his arms, I knew he was surprise but he held me for sometime and quic-kly re-leased me immediately Denis c@m£ down, they exchange plea-santries by handshakes, Denis c@m£ to where I stood and gently held my w@!st as he spoke with Kuria
“In few months time there will be an addition to our family… My beautiful wife is expecting a Baby and she wants everywhere to be renovated, she mentioned you are her good friend and also good at what you do, plea-se decorate any design she chooses, money is not the problem, feel at home here because it Will make my wife happy, especially since you are her good friend, me I’m so Happy and her happiness is my t©p most priority…plea-se feel at home here and eat or drink anything you so de-sired, take your time and do your job if it will take you months or weeks just take your time and give her exactly what she wants
Denis bent over and k!$$£d me in front of Kuria Who stood watching and have to look away, I pu-ll-ed back my face and frowned at him he quic-kly apologised with a smile and looked at Kuria before saying he loved me so much and couldn’t get enough of me.
Kuria smiled and flashed his white teeth as he thanked Denis and me for the job, and for having him, he was acting all formal, I wish hr can look at me more but he was focusing on Denis and only glanced throu-gh me,
as we were about to move to show Kuria round the house Vanessa c@m£ in, she made a new hair and had this heavy make up on her face,after saying hello to me and Denis who was still holding me, she exclaimed shamelessly when she saw Kuria
“Wooow…what planet do you fall from…you looked like the god of mars, you are handsome… I’m not flir-ting, just saying the fact…
Kuria laughed and thanked her, Denis smiled and said
” you must be getting lots of compliments from ladies, with your b©dy built, I know most ladies can’t get pas-s fine Man like you… But people like you are mainly a pl@yboy, they don’t have or love one person…they are Casanovas, pla-yers that easily deceive women…
I immediately sl@pped Denis hand off me, he was embarras-sing Kuria Who was just smiling without a word, Denis saw I was angry and quic-kly apologised, ”
“Kuria plea-se don’t take offense, I said “people that have your kind of look” I didn’t mean it to be offense, Joda I was only joking with him, I’m sorry if that offends you, Kuria my sincere apology,
Kuria smiled as usual and said no offense was taking, we showed him places, he wrote and Drew somethings in his working sheet,
After that Denis took me upstairs, Vanessa refuse to leave Kuria to work, she follows him wherever he goes, talking non st©p, Kuria was only smiling as he worked without paying much attention to her,
As I was in the room with Denis my heart was where Kuria was, what if Vanessa s£dûç£d him, if I know I would not have ask him to come over and s£nding Vanessa out now Will be suspicious,
I was still thinking about Kuria when Denis c@m£ again thinking I’m angry with him and started apologizing,
He looked so innocent as he knelt down holding me, I allowed him to k!ssme which led to another level, I still love Denis, and I love Kuria too, I’m carrying Kuria’s child, he doesn’t know yet,
Denis thought is his and have totally change to a good Man, de-ep down I love the man lying down beside me, I have always loved Denis, I don’t even know how to st©p, despites everything I have seen and heard from him, what I feel for Kuria is so different, I’m always happy being around him, for the first time in almost two months i finally l@ywith Denis, my mind was on Kuria as the whole thing went on,
Kuria c@m£ the following day, i didn’t know when he left the previous day, denis purposely like k!ss!ngme where kuria can see us, Kuria is never comfortable when ever Denis start acting all lovey dovey around him, I pretended because I don’t want to be suspected, Kuria always shows his discomfort when ever Denis is holding me,
is being two days Kuria started the decor thing, I watch him from a distance as he worked sometimes, it was difficult having him close yet I can’t get close, because this days Denis refuse to leave my side and Vanessa always want to be where Kuria is,
Kuria does not really pay attentions to Vanessa, I started feeling bad about Kuria and Vanessa, what if Vanessa succeeded in s£dûç!ng him,
many things went throu-gh my mind as Kuria drove in one day, it was a Saturday he c@m£ with Jude
Denis wasn’t home, Vanessa was swimming, my girls are busy in the kitchen, I allowed Kuria to start work before i went down, Jude greeted me as he saw me, Kuria looked at me and pu-ll-ed off his gloves, he wasn’t happy as he said he may not be able to continue the work, reasons Best known to him, I pleaded with him not to do that, he asked jude to get him something from the car, after the boy Left he said he couldn’t Bear it anymore, watching my husband k!ssand r0m@nç£me in his front, he said it was a silent torture to him, he losses concentration because of that, as he saw Jude approaching he kept quiet and he didn’t say anything again,
he wore his gloves back and went back to work, he wasn’t happy, if is just because of what Denis does, it wasn’t really enough reason For him to decide to st©p work like that, Denis is still my husband
I wanted to know why he isn’t happy but I know he won’t answer me, Vanessa c@m£ in wearing her swimming p@n-t and br@, she used a pieces of scarf to tire her w@!st, she c@m£ to Kuria who didn’t pay her attention, or turned to look at her, he was busy working,
I later left them, Vanessa followed me and asked me why Kuria doesn’t like her, she said she really likes him and she begged me to talk to Kuria about her since he is my friend, I agreed just to dismiss her,
In the evening when Kuria was about going I saw Vanessa telling him to drop her off that she was going out, I watched from my room balcony as Kuria opened the pas-s£nger door for her as she suddenly k!$$£d his cheeks Kuria’s face was a mark of shock as he used his left-hand to clean his cheek and spoke to Vanessa silently. She frowned and nodded, kuria entered the car and drove off,
I felt so bitter, I was jealous that I wish I can tear Vanessa into pieces, but de-ep down I trusted Kuria but what Denis said about him do ring in my Head, kuria is not a pla-yer or Casanova, i know is not true, Kuria is ha-rd working, he has being training two street kids for years now, and doing it happily, he is a people’s person, Denis is only being threatened by him, Kuria is successful and good looking too,
Tomorrow was Sunday he won’t be working I wish I can go over to his place but I can’t,
I can’t Tell Binta about me giving in to Denis, I know she will be mad but Denis is still my husband and I still feel something for him,
I can’t confront Vanessa about Kuria and asking Binta to do that may attra-ct questions,
I’m still in this act nob©dy must know what I’m up to except Binta,
But how do i Even tell Kuria that the baby I’m carrying is his,
How can I love and still hate Denis at same time, he seem to be acting all Nice and fully devoted to me, why now that I’m pregnant, when I have a bucket full of crabs about him,
Is it possible to love two people at same time because I love Kuria and I feel very bad when I see him with Vanessa,
Kuria won’t be around tomorrow but I will talk to him when he comes on Monday, a lot of talk, I just hope nob©dy will be home except the securities so that I can have enough time
I waited For Kuria Monday he didn’t come and I didn’t see Vanessa either, on Tuesday Vanessa was around but later left, she was not happy, I didn’t bother to ask why she looks so sad because she’s non of my business, still no sign of Kuria,
I called him but no response, after Wednesday morning c@m£ and gone I drove down to his place, he was home, and opened the door as I knocked, I stepped in, he wasn’t looking happy and I wasn’t happy either, and I nee-d to sort things out, today I made up my mind to tell him he is the father of my child, he deserved to know although I still have double mind about telling him but I can’t keep punishing myself, I truly love Kuria, or I’m probably confused.
I wish I can finally be happy with the man I truly love, I planned to get it done with Denis as soon as I can, but his recent behavior is what i don’t even un-derstand but I really nee-d to be focus on the task before me, just as Binta will say.
To be continued
