She said the woman insulted her<br />
saying,now she has found someone taking<br />
care of her, people are jealous. A man who<br />
makes his wife ride on motor bike and I sit in<br />
the front of his car, very soon I will be his<br />
wife and if that thing he calls a wife cannot<br />
stand it, she can leave. We have motor<br />
bikes as means of transportation because<br />
the roads are not too good. My husband<br />
has two cars, one car has a problem with<br />
the battery, I asked him to fix it for me so I<br />
can use it, he asked me to fix it myself. That<br />
is besides the point, now I have had enough<br />
of him disgracing me. Everyday, people<br />
come to the clinic to tell me stories about my<br />
husband and his mistress, and most times<br />
when they come my junior nurses are<br />
around, I feel so embarrassed. The last<br />
time, I was told two women came looking<br />
for me; they have been to the clinic twice.<br />
They even left their telephone numbers<br />
that I call them, and I said if it so<br />
important to them, they will come back.<br />
One day I was with my junior nurses<br />
when the said women came again. I<br />
thought their problem was health related<br />
but NO, they came to tell me all about my<br />
husband's affair. Madam , they said, if<br />
you are asleep, wake up, this woman will<br />
wreck your marriage, we know her very<br />
well in this community, besides she uses<br />
charms, recently she's been en-stooled<br />
Queenmother in her village. Your<br />
husband paid for every expense. Your<br />
husband shops for her and her entire<br />
family. She has said no one will separate<br />
her from your husband, not even you<br />
can do that. On hearing this, I began<br />
crying forgetting that I was still at work,<br />
my junior nurse also confirmed what<br />
was said. She told me how my<br />
husband shops for her, bag of rice,<br />
cooking oil, tubers of yam, plantain and<br />
even fills her empty cylinder when she<br />
runs out of gas, when he does not do<br />
that at home. I went home and that<br />
night my husband got home about<br />
1am. I waited for him and told him all<br />
that I have been told and asked if it is<br />
true, my husband did not answer. I told<br />
him “tomorrow I will go and meet her”.<br />
You mean you can do all of this for<br />
another woman but not me? Have I<br />
offended you in anyway? I asked him,<br />
he did not say anything but only begged<br />
me not to go and see her. I asked why I<br />
should not go there, I then reminded him, I<br />
have been to her two years ago to warn her<br />
and she is still holding on to you, so I will go<br />
there again.<br />
The following morning I went to his<br />
mistress, she hurled insults at me, she<br />
even asked me if I have the butts like she<br />
has to sleep with my husband and that my<br />
husband loves her and will marry her, i told<br />
her we shall see. The following day, I stood<br />
at the junction where my husband normally<br />
passes to her house, I was there and about<br />
6pm I saw my husband coming, I was so<br />
surprised but I waited patiently till he got to<br />
where I was and he was surprised to see<br />
me. I asked him; where do you think you<br />
are going?, so you come this early, I see,<br />
let's go to wherever you are going. Very<br />
ashamed he drove me home. For the very<br />
first time, I slapped my husband and beat<br />
him up, he did not say anything.<br />
“why did you do that"?<br />
I asked him what he told his mistress<br />
about me for her to have the audacity to<br />
ask me if I had what it takes to sleep with<br />
him. He did not answer and I got furious<br />
and slapped him. At first I thought he will<br />
fight back but when he did not, I received<br />
power from on high and really beat him<br />
such that he will have a mark. I want to<br />
torment him till he commits suicide.<br />
“ I thought you said you want a divorce”?<br />
Talking to you has given me new ideas, in<br />
fact I think I will go by my father's idea.<br />
“Father's idea? Which is?” My father,<br />
requested he comes to see him with a<br />
relative. I was present too and it was<br />
decided he buys a goat, drinks and invite<br />
elders of Adusa and Mayera to appease<br />
me because he has been unfair to me and<br />
I said no, but now I think it will be a way to<br />
disgrace him, he has disgraced me long<br />
enough.<br />
“ Don't you think you will be disgraced<br />
too” .<br />
Everybody in Mayera knows I am the<br />
nurse whose husband is cheating on<br />
her, I have already been disgraced in<br />
the presence of my junior nurses, what<br />
more disgrace are you talking about. I<br />
will torment him till he commits<br />
suicide, he has killed me several<br />
times, it's now time for his death.<br />
Readers, from my stand point, what<br />
advise do I give to Auntie Mansa?<br />
“ I thought you said<br />
you want a divorce”?<br />
Talking to you has<br />
given me new ideas,<br />
in fact I think I will go<br />
by my father's idea”.
