CHAPTER THREE
??????? ????
Hours have gone by lm now cooking dinner , more like a small pot of pap for kuda . I've already preheated the left over spaghetti for the kids , l add some beans on top .
Me : Tiana ! Joshua ! come take your food .
Tiana : coming .
Joshua comes running for a five year old his a disciplined child .l never find something to complain about , same goes for Tiana she's just nine years old but she sometimes acts like a teenager .
They take their plates thanking me . I take my cup of milk and bread heading to the couch . It's already late and Kuda still hasn't arrived .
Me: kids , it now time to go to bed .
Joshua : what about daddy ?
Tiana : Joshua clearly daddy is busy today ,let's just head to bed we will see him tomorrow .
Joshua : Oh , okay . Goodnight mommy .
Tiana : Good night .
Me : Sleep tight my babies .
l fish up eating , l then clean the plates . As soon lm done l go straight to taking a bath .
Moments later l head to the kitchen as l hear pot noises .
Look who decided to come home , if it isn't my one and only husband Kudakwashe.
Me : Didn't your side chick cook for you ?
he turns with a frown on his face .
Kuda : What did you cook here , do you expect to eat pap and beans ? couldn't you add some meat instead ?.
Me : (chuckles) says a man who doesn't bother himself with buying grocery , man don't make me laugh . Maybe you should've asked your side chick to cook for you since they're more important than me .
Kuda : Yeah right atleast their woman enough , they know how to satisfy a man unlike someone l know .
l won't lie , that hurt . he walks past me purposely hitting my shoulder . My eyes dart around the kitchen and l spot a kitchen knife, l quickly grab it .
Me : KUDA!
he stops and turns to look at me , he doesn't look moved .His giving me a bored expression .
Me : lts either me or you today , lm tired of this fucked up life .
Kuda : lf you are tired why are you not leaving then ?
Me :How dare you ask me that question , you are the only thing l know now . I won't just leave 10 years of my life behind just because of your messed up behavior . You need need as much as you keep on hoering and abusing me . l made you a man amongst man kuda ! Today you are one of the most respected man and what saddens me is that you hide behind the church uniform , you preach good for people but at home you know your wife is always in tears because of you . You are a wolve in sheep's clothing and these skirts you are after will get you no where in life .
Kuda : Okay .
okay ? that's all he's going to say huh ?
Me : I guess you'll be more happy if l kill myself right now .
Kuda : Go on kill yourself , for all l know you won't do it because you love our kids and you won't leave them behind .
Tiana appears with tears rolling down her eyes , isn't she supposed to be sleeping .
Me : Tiana go back to sleep .
She shook her head in disagreement.
Tiana: Mama no , you want to kill yourself . Please don't , please daddy tell her . We need her .
Kuda : Your mother isn't going to kill herself okay , she knows that you need her .
lm now crying with my daughter , do l really want to kill myself ? no , l just wanted to see if he still cares about me or not .
l drop the knife running towards Tiana , l go down on my knees taking her into my embrace .
Me : lm sorry , lm really sorry mommy is not going anywhere okay .
Tiana : (sniffs) you promise ?
l nodd , raising my face to look at Kuda but he was no longer in the room .l sigh holding tight to my daughter .
