[STORY] I CHEATED ON MY WIFE (Episode 11)

I CHEATED ON MY WIFE Story

Episode 11.

The whole house felt so quiet when I walked in, I went straight to the kids’ room first but they were not there.

I rushed to I and Bisi’s bedroom, nobody was there. No sign of Bisi or the kids. Cloths were scattered from the wardrops to the bed. There was a box of cloths on the bed too.

My heart was caught in my mouth as different thought crossed my mind.

What if Bisi has carried the kids and traveled to a place where I can’t reach her. What if she goes to her family house which was in another state, far from Lagos?

I checked the visitor’s room, the kitchen and every corner of the house as I kept shouting my wife and kids name but no respond came.
I was almost going crazy as I try to reach her. I try calling her over the phone but she wasn’t picking up her phone either.

I knew she was not going to pick but I decided to try anyway and it was as I thought.

I tried calling her again as I moved towards our room and I heard a phone ringing inside.
I rushed in and follow the sound. The phone was under the piles of cloth on top of the bed.
She probably forgot it there. I was destabilized. I don’t even know where to look for her and my kids.

I don’t want to get her family or mine involve. All the blames will be on me. I feel so ashamed of myself already, I know what I did and do not need a reminder of my sins.
I sat on the ground and held my head in my hands. “What have I done to myself? My family is scattered and may not be able to survive through this. I was broken and felt weak and powerless.
I broke down and wept like a child. I can hear Aram speaking. I guess he put the call on speaker but I did not care. Emotion wage at my throat, everything and everyone was against me. I know even God must be angry with me right now.

“Don…Don…is okay. It was a grave mistake not just from you but from everyone involve in this. You set the fire and your wife fan the coal even without knowing. Something worse could have happened to Abena or anyone else. Abena took the highest risk by making friends with your wife and coming into your home without any sign of remorse. But Don, you had the larger share. I still wonder what you were looking for in another woman. Bisi got it all for you Don. She was a good wife and caring mother who does not joke with her home. Think about the peace of mind when you are with your wife in bed and the guilt and troubled mind when you are with a strange woman… which will you prefer? I know you are only an imperfect human filled with mistakes, I also believe that everyone has learnt their lessons. Calm down Don, everything will be alright. Drive out to my place. I’m home with my family, do not panic and please drive carefully. Come over right now…I will be waiting for you.
I sat on the floor, sobbing for some time, before stepping out again.
I drove out that night to Aram’s place. He was at the door when I arrived.
He ushered me inside his sitting room, while patting my back and trying to calm me down.
Immediately I stepped into his parlor my wife and kids were seated right in Aram’s living room. My son was asleep. My daughter was sitting quietly beside her mother, I guess she was also feeling sleepy because the time was already 9pm. it was pass there bedtime.
I wiped a tear from my eyes. I never bargained for any of the things that happened. It was just a small mistake and I thought what happens in Abuja stays in Abuja but the devil wore cloth and shoe and travelled all the way down to Lagos. The devil creep right into my home in form of Abena and tries to destroy my eight years of marriage.

My wife and kids are gone and I don’t know where to look for them. No sign or note to where they might have travelled to.

I decided to call Aram, my only b0s0m friend who understand, advice and encourages me on every stage of my shattered life. Aram was not only my friend he was a barrister, a man who loves and cares for his family. he was faithful to his wife and was also God fearing.
“Hello Aram, Bisi is gone. I came home from the hospital and met the house empty. She is gone with the kids. I don’t even know where to go and look for her. I’m a dead man walking Aram. I have lost it all. My wife has left me and she will never forgive me.

I know I made a mistake but I never for once invited Abena to Lagos. Bisi caught us unaware in the office and Abena pulled up her act and they became friends. I hated such closeness and try to warn my wife but Bisi never listened to me. She said she just wanted to be nice to my colleague.

She thought Abena was a junior staff in the office. I was shocked the day I came back and met Abena in my home. I asked Bisi why she did not even inform me and she gave another excused. Aram I never bargained for any of this. I was trying to escape from Abena but my wife was making it so hard. I’m not shifting the whole blame on her. If I did not sleep with Abena back in Abuja all this wouldn’t have been. I feel so sorry.

I love my wife and my kids dearly. I love my family and i will give up anything just to have them back. I wish I can undo what I have done. I wish I did not cheat on my wife.

Aram, I’m a walking corps because I live for my family. They are the reason I work so hard and smile often. If they are no more what is the point of living. I don’t know where to look for Bisi or the kids. I don’t know Aram…I don’t.
I looked back at Aram wondering how he managed to bring my wife and kids to his house.

Aram’s wife came out of the room and greeted me, I responded quietly.

She looked at me like an unfaithful man before asking Bisi if she can take the kids inside to the children’s room but Bisi declined and said she will soon be leaving.

Aram’s wife looked at me again. I was cautious of her eyes. She must have heard what I did and feel disappointed. She may even tell her husband not to associate himself with me again.

It may be an innocent eyes but ever since I started having this guilt feeling, I read meaning to people’s reaction towards me.
She came to ask if she can offer me anything. Despite I was hungry and thirsty, I declined the offer.

Bisi angrily looked at me from head to toe. It was well expected.

I managed to dodge her bomb eyes by taking a seat beside Aram, who sat in between Bisi and I.

Aram later took me outside and as we relaxed by his car he began to speak

“I know you are probably wondering how I got your wife and kids to my place. Well, I needed to do what I have to do because I can’t watch your home get razed down. I just can’t sit and do nothing while your home get destroyed. After you called me from the hospital to inform me about what happened. I have to quickly drive down to your place. Bisi was packing her things, she said she wanted to take her kids to somewhere else because she doesn’t want to set eyes on you ever again. She said you actually took Abena to the hospital even after what happened. Bisi was lamenting angrily as she gathered her cloths into a box. Your wife said since you have decided to choose Abena over her and the kids she will do the needful by going somewhere else to cool off her head. She can’t live in the same house with you not after what you did. I have to talk to her and showed her how she also contributed to what happened. I told her how much battle you have been fighting to stay away from Abena and to also confess to her. Don, I just thanked God I arrived at the right time to still meet Bisi at home. I asked her to come over to my place with the kids and she can still leave after that if she feels the need to do so. I took her and the kids to my place. She was really angry and couldn’t stop talking all through the drive to my place even after we stepped into my house she was still raging.

At a point she broke down and started crying. She can’t still believe that you will hurt her the way you did. She wept bitterly both I and my wife were there to console her. I put each of your calls on a loudspeaker just for her to listen and see how sorry you are Don. She was calm enough before you came. I did not want to tell you at first that your family was with me, I wanted to see your reaction and to put your sober calls on speaker for Bisi to hear you. Give your wife time. She will eventually forgive. She is hurting right now and need time to heal up. Don’t rush her or force forgiveness down her throat. Love and care for her even more now than before. let her see through your action that you are truly sorry. Done, you have to be careful too. You started this whole thing….it was funny at first but not anymore. You have to make it right. My wife also spoke with Bisi. So relax, your wife will not leave you, I’m certain of that but if she ever want to, please inform me on time. It won’t be easy but everything will be alright.
