MASTER MISTAKENLY SLEEPS WITH HIS HOUSEMAID
CHAPTER 14

© GAMBO ELVIS

While Jaila the Housemaid was worried about the paternity of the fruits of her womb, she felt relief because her boss never told his wife. But Mr. Beri on his side was disturbed and kept wondering,

"I cannot trust my Housemaid, despite the fact that she has been living with us for a long time. She might just be using it to father her children. I trusted my wife and see where we are today. But Jaila is my last hope of having children let me just wait again for about four or five months and the truth shall prevail."

He kept taking care of his housemaid like his secret wife though he never slept with her but felt a certain chemistry, affection and comfort when he was around her and just had to control himself.

So afterall his wife began to notice that the worries of childlessness that took the joy of her husband's face was temporarily gone. She could be seen a little disturbed and wondering,

"It's strange, my husband has been so calm these days. Hope he is not seeing another woman. I have to do everything to become pregnant for him; if another woman becomes pregnant for him, his affection and love Will be diverted to another woman's children and sure no matter how much he pretends, his love will be diverted to their mother. The only reason he can be so calm is if he is seeing another woman."

Verona never knew he was becoming a father soon, even if at the end he was going to find out that the children he thought were his, belonged to an irresponsible rogue. She had been a sly, for five years married to him and silently prying on him was the only thing left for her to do.

"Honey, why have you been avoiding making love to me frequently ever since we had a misunderstanding about my childlessness,"

"You know a man, no matter how rich and famous he is, if he has no kids, he is just like every other thing he has that will pass away when he is gone,"

"But why do you say that," Verono felt very uncomfortable listening to his utterance, so he declared to her,

"What is the use of all these things, when there is no one who comes from our loins, the blood of our blood and flesh of our flesh to make us of it and keep the legacy growing,"

"Our love will last honey, our deeds will speak for us when we are gone. Remember my music will live even when I am gone,"

"Has this always been just about you?"

"It's about us, but tell me, do you still find me attractive or there is a woman somewhere you think most often about,"

"I was thinking of the fact that what if our parents, spent their time making money and a name for themselves, where will we be. So you better start thinking in that direction."

"I don't think those thoughts are righteous,"

"Where was your righteousness when you kept your womb locked for years?"

"Please honey forgive me,"

"I have forgiven you, but I will never forgive myself if I leave this world without having my own kids, what will I tell my ancestors when I join them in the afterlife,"

"Why do you speak so comfortably of death like that?" the wife was scared of his very words he uttered and he quoted,

"What is the use of living a thousand years, where we cannot be proud of giving birth and see the fruits of our love breath the very good air we left."

"Instead of arguing Cheri, let's go inside and have a tender moment; you know the doctor said we should keep on trying,"

"For how long have we been trying?"

"As long as God exists, what about faith honey,"

"Faith," he blurted and asked, "Did I just hear you say faith, where is faith without actions, stop fooling yourself Verona, there is no need to flog a death horse,"

"Are you calling me a death horse, you calling me barren right?"

"I am the death horse not you," the wife was shocked, and curious,

"What do you mean by that?"

"I no longer have deep feelings for you,"

"You no longer love me right,"

"No Verona," he denied and confessed "I still love you very much. It's my body chemistry that has changed because there is no need lighting the fire on a heavy bulky wet piece of wood when it will quench on its own. Let's be realistic honey and do the needful."

"It's about another woman right?"

"How I wish there was another woman out there pregnant with my kids."

The words he said, shattered her heart to pieces.
