“Thanks, my husband, when do you think you will return back?” Cici asked.
“I am going to work for three months then I’ll resign,” he said sincerely.
“Do you promise me?” she asked.
“When did I ever lie?” he asked curiously.
Thabo doesn’t understand why his wife is like this. He suspects maybe she has seen his messages which he was busy texting his side chick, that what he calls her.
Thabo and Cici have been married for three years and she hasn’t fallen pregnant maybe because Thabo is always in diaspora. Cici sits close to him and holds his hand.
“I have great news,” she said smiling.
“You are making me worried. Tell me…” he said standing up.
“I am pregnant,” she smiled.
“What?… Aaaa… Are you serious?” he asked.
“Yes, baby,” she said slowly.
He danced, screamed and hugged his wife, Cici. He held her tighter and kissed her. Happiness crept into his soul so that he wants to be intimate with her.
“Baby, I just need to take the washing out and cook… We will do it later,” Cici said after kissing his cheek.
Thabo sighed and Cici went outside to fetch the washing. He grabbed his phone then he stood by the window checking how far his wife was. He smiled when he saw she still had a lot washing to remove. He opened his WhatsApp and starts texting his side chick.
Hey babe.
Where have U bn?

He quickly got off WhatsApp when he hears Cici’s footsteps. He pretended to be reading a magazine. Cici faced him, she sensed he had been moving.
“Are you okay?”she asks.
“Yes, why wouldn’t I?” he says seriously, with his eyes in the book.
“I can’t wait for us in bed together,” he said pulling his wife closer.
“Baby, wait… Let me cook,” she said pulling away.
“I love you,“ he said.
Cici winked and started to prepare supper in their two-roomed house. Thabo had inherited it after his parents died in an accident. He works in South Africa at Mikes a big restaurant in Germiston. He rents a place close by. He was thinking of coming back to Zimbabwe. But he hasn’t decided yet.
His privacy with his phone was very restricted. Cici used to touch his phone when they were still lovers. Everything changed when they got married. Her aunt had taught her to not to ask too much as that would lead her husband to look for other woman.
Thabo was never satisfied with his wife. He was fine with a lot of women but his wife doesn’t know. He was careful that she won’t catch him. He chatted with other women in her absence. So, when she was back, he pretended nothing was going on.
After eating supper he had sex with his wife so that he can avoid her being suspicious of his behaviour. He wanted to prove a point, that she was the only one in his life. With the baby coming, she would never suspect because she will have those moods controlled by hormones.
Thabo knew when you have sex with women they think they are wanted more than any other. It felt good to him to make woman hàppy using sex. He held her tighter and kissed her forehead. Afterwards he quickly took his phone from the trousers he had been wearing. His phone was always in hiding places so that Cici wouldn’t catch a glimpse of it.
He opened his WhatsApp and he watched Cici who was sleeping.
I m goin 2 cm early.
Seriz ,I will be waiting 4 u.
“Thabo,are you already up?” Cici asked.
Thabo hid his phone quickly. Cici was still sleeping but maybe she saw he was moving.
“Yes, I want to use the bathroom,” he said calmly.
“Ok, come to bed quickly then we can have another round,” she said, opening her eyes and letting him go.
Thabo relieved himself, then washed his hands and returned to the bed. When they had finished it was after 2am. Cici then faced the other way. He too faced away from his wife so he could carrying on chatting with his secret woman. After an hour had passed he fell asleep holding his phone.
Tell us what you think: Do you know someone like Thabo?
