When evening came I prepared some nice chapatis and beef stew. The anxiety in me was sky high as I anticipated for an evening of passion with my Shamba boy who seemed so promising. I even made sure to wear provocatively so that my curves would be so evident to try to see if I would win over Ken with physical appeal.
I was seated on the coach watching some nice bongo movies when I heard a soft knock at the door. My heart skipped a beat.
“Come in!” I said instinctively and held my breath to see who would come in. I did not even turn as I just wanted it to be a surprise to my psychology.“Honey, I am home!” A voice so familiar to my memory talked sending chills down my spine as I turned to see who it was.To my shock, it was my husband who had come home abruptly and announced unlike the days before. I however stood up and went to give him a hug.
“Welcome home, darling.” I told my husband but my heart sank with the kno
“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
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
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
“Grace! Oh! Jesus!” Alex exclaimed.Ivy was more than surprised.“Do you two know each other?” Ivy asked me. I lacked the word to even express what was in my mind.“Jesus is great, praise the lord!” Alex said.“I don’t understand, why aren’t you talking?” Ivy asked looking at me.I did not know whether to feel ashamed, confused or lost. Alex was the youthful pastor in one of our local evangelical churches, who sometimes back kept preaching to Ken to get saved. He had even given Ken a bible and some religious materials. It was a huge surprise to even see him there.“Well, they call me Pastor Alex, I am a good friend to one of his workers, Ken.” The pastor said looking at us.“So, you are a pastor and you have never told me?” Ivy asked Alex.Alex ignored the question.“How is my brother in Christ, Ken?” Alex asked me. I did not know whether to answer or just laugh.“Ken is fine.” I told Alex.Alex then looked at us in turns and said, “I know why we

Very gently, the policeman knocked our car’s window. Ours were tinted so he would not see inside so we dressed up and sat down, as I rolled down the window pane.“Sorry Madam to disturb you, but we wanted to tell you that you shouldn’t be here.” The policeman who wore traffic police uniform informed us. I was about to ask why when he suddenly said, “There were robbers who stole at a bank in Githunguri and they used a car similar to this, we only noticed it is not the one when we read your number plate, but for your safety, just drive along not to arouse suspicion of other officers, you know, some police men are trigger happy and might shoot at you without confirming.”I felt so relieved as I had thought perhaps they were after Ken.Ken started the car engine as the policeman turned to walk away.“Hey, I had nearly gotten a heart attack!” Ken told me as he rolled up the windows and hit the highway accelerating as fast as he could.“Hey, Ken, slow down, relax.” I told h
