However, the most touching thing that evening was when Miriam was praying for us as we prepared to go to sleep. In her prayers, she prayed that may God banish the spirit of unfaithfulness in our marriage. The prayers were so touching like they were meant for me and Ken. Ken was there, with his eyes closed, or I assumed and when the prayers ended, he said the loudest amen.When we went to sleep, Douglas asked me, “Does Miriam have holy spirit? The way that girl prays is just wonderful.”“How would you tell if someone has a holy spirit?” I asked Douglas, looking into the light that was coming through our window.“Well, I don’t know.” Douglas said.“By the way, I hear that pastor Alex perished in the landslide that occurred a few days ago, is it true?” Douglas asked. My heart missed a beat knowing that I witnessed the whole thing.“Yes, probably he was coming from prayers.” I told him, pretending not to know anything.“No, a friend of mine told me he was chasing a
After I took Josephine through some counselling, she promised to change and to confide with me more. I however remained worried over how she was sexually growing up so fast, faster than her peers.Days progressed into months and I tried my best to avoid Ken since he was still wondering why I wasn’t interested in him anymore. But I encouraged him so much to continue seeing his girlfriend. But it seemed like he continued to visit the club where he would have sex with women for money, but I was no longer bothered with him. Besides, I only suspected since I too stopped going to our club and concentrated much on my personal life.The first trimester progressed well, despite the numerous morning sicknesses that made me feel weak all the time. But as soon as the second trimester arrived, things seemed to change. My body was no longer weak, I was no longer feeling sick and my sexual libido came back even more like an upsurge of something boiling. Most nights when my husband was not ar
“Oh! Yes, if only you would turn to God and worship him.” Miriam told Ken. Ken just laughed and walked away.“Does this man even believe in God?” Miriam asked me as soon as Ken left.“Ask him, you should ask him.” I told her as I took the remote to see if there was a channel showing something better. But when it got boring watching the TV, I just wanted to go and sleep.=====I was awakened by Miriam praying loudly in the morning, and I was keen to follow her prayers. One of the things she was praying was to get a good husband and also to get money to further he education. I however was really getting distracted by her loud prayers such that I vowed to tell her in the morning to be praying a little silently.“Good morning, Grace.” Ken greeted me as we met in the morning. I had gone to see why cows were making noises but learned it was Ken transferring the cows into one shed so as to repair another one.“Good morning, Ken. How was your night?” I asked him, picki
“I told her I have been doing some business, she somehow believed me.” Ken said. “I hope she did.” I told Ken.Ken looked at me and smiled as if wanting to tell me something.“The only thing I really don’t wish is for my husband to ever know this.” I told Ken. “What do you suggest I do?” Ken asked me.“Young girls are always over whelmed with money and being treated right, I suggest you take her for a good outing, treat her, make her feel like a queen. Let me negotiate with baba boy for you to go for a short leave then you can plan yourself.” I told Ken.“Where would you suggest I take her?” Ken asked.“Hmm, I don’t know. Try some nice place like Mombasa, for an over night pleasure trip. When there fuck her until she screams your name.” I told Ken. That made me feel aroused that instant. It remined me of my honeymoon with Douglas.=====“My dear, I have some suggestion.” I told my husband once he was home.“Tell me.” He said.“Ken has worked
Mercy stood up, went to her bedroom and came back with her handbag. She proceeded to remove some tablets, put them on the table and looked at Ken.“Ken, are these what you call ARVs?” Mercy asked. Ken remained silent.The situation was so tensed. I took the packet and tried to figure out what the tablets were but could not.“Mercy, these are not ARVs but what are they?” I asked her.“I went to the hospital when I was feeling unwell, explained to them and they gave me these tablets. I also don’t know what they are.” Mercy told us.“So, you are taking tablets which you too don’t know?” I asked her.“So long as I get well, who cares?” Mercy asked and packed the drugs back to their papers.“We can go for HIV test if you don’t believe me.” Mercy told us.I felt amused. So, Ken thought all drugs were for HIV?Ken looked at Mercy for some seconds, as if wanting to say something.“All right, you both owe each other an apology, we need to make pea
I went around the corner the final bend to our home, slowly driving my car when Ken suddenly concentrated on the road ahead.“What is it?” I asked Ken.“There seems to be something on the road. “Ken said. I looked at him and he was damn serious. Sure enough, looking ahead there was a rock in the middle of the road. I have never felt such fear in my life.“Now what?” I asked Ken.“Can we turn?” Ken asked. I was about to turn when two young men appeared from nowhere and began to come towards our vehicle. I instinctively knew someone was attempting to carjack me.“These are thieves.” Ken said.I suddenly tried to make a U-turn but hit a ditch and the car stopped. One man made to reach at my door to open it while another was already opening passenger’s door where Ken sat.Suddenly, Ken opened the door with so much force such that he knocked the man on that side and he fell on the ground flat. Before I could figure out what was happening, Ken was already outside
“Just do another test please, and this time am staying here till I get results.” I told Ivy. Since my bladder was already full from drinking much fluids, it was not hard obtaining another urine sample. We did the test and it turned out negative. “Phew!” I breathed out a sigh of relief. “You are safe, at least for now.” Ivy told me. “I feel so excited, I am happy that it was not positive, wow! I would have fainted here.” I was so excited I wanted to dance. Ivy just looked at me. “Why won’t we meet for a cup of coffee as you tell me more?” Ivy suggested. “Cool, make it in the evening, I will come to a restaurant of your choice.” I told Ivy. I left and drove back to my place. “Oh! Glad you are back. Come along.” Ken told me once he saw me without even greeting me. I followed him to the cow shed. I immediately knew what was wrong as soon as I saw one of the cows; it looked sickly. “What has happened?” I asked Ken.
“But you have been too busy to meet me.” Ivy accused me.“Hmmm, girlfriend, if you insist.” I told her. Suddenly, Ivy got a call.“It is from my husband.” She stood, excused herself and went outside to answer the call since inside it was a little noisy due to the music. She talked for almost 10 minutes.“My dear, sorry I have to go. We shall talk later.” Ivy told me.“Is anything the matter?” I asked her. She breathed in and out deeply and heavily.“If you call me at 9 pm today and be unable to pick your calls, I will be dead.” Ivy said.“Come on! You are scaring me.” I told her but she was already on her feet about to go.“Grace, please allow me to go, we will catch up.” Ivy said. We walked outside together. As soon as we were outside, Ivy called a taxi.“Hmmm, girlfriend, we shall meet once more, see you!” Ivy told me, gave me a quick hug and got into the cab. She waved as she went.=====At exactly 8 pm, Ivy called. I received the call feeling ne
