MONDAY
Oh man, this case with Ms Mafuta is just over the top Diary. So we went to court today to hear my friend’s case and what a drama. The problem is that Ms Mafuta is somehow economic with the truth. So if you are not wise, she will end up making you totally confused to the point of giving up.
This guy also seems to be the same type, lying through his teeth to get his way out. They both had the court in stitches. Ms Mafuta was so angry.
She asked the magistrate to take a look at the man’s private parts through his trousers. She said the point was how could she offer a man sex in exchange for diamonds when the man was that small? Well, the man decided to prove that his jewels were not small, so he proceeded to undress in the court.
Oh boy, it just was all a joke. Both were in contempt of court and so forth. I could not help but laugh all the way even though she was as angry as a wounded animal.
TUESDAY
School, school, school. With our marital issues in the forefront, I forgot all about school fees, uniforms and so forth. I am like so exhausted. I had not pictured myself here.
I had thought by this time I would be well out of my marriage with no responsibilities except my own baby and my shop. But alas here I am back to square one, trying to sort out the kids’ uniforms, school fees and boarding fees, etc.
On top of all this, I have to play the good wife even though I am not sure where I stand in all this. I feel like I am being used.
WEDNESDAY
My sister-in-law’s son whom we look after did not do so well last term in school. Our concern is that he is writing exams this term, but does not seem to be concerned about whether he passes or fails. I used to be the one he used to talk to him all the time and I would give my husband feedback, but I was ignoring him last term because of our marital issues.
I tried to speak to him today, but he said school was hard last term. That is all he kept saying. I asked him about home, but he was evasive. Of course, it must be hard for him because his mother is pregnant with the baby of a man whom we all do not know well. Of course in our face the man is nice, caring and polite, but in private we do not know what he is really like.
The boy would not say anything negative about the man, which I guess is good. But if the guy is abusing him, I fear the outcome. I shall have to keep a close eye on him. Maybe he is just having a hard time with the fact that his mother is having another child. Maybe he is feeling like he is being misplaced.
THURSDAY
Ms Matwetwe is about to give birth and I want to go and be with her in South Africa. They have another child, who is HIV negative even though both parents are positive. So they want to do everything the way they did the first time so that the baby can be born safe again.
I would really really like to be there, but with marriage counselling and Ms Mafuta, I am not sure what is what.
FRIDAY
My husband took me out for dinner in the Vumba this evening, how glorious it was. Oh, it reminded me of when we were first going out, how he used to romance and love me into the early hours of the morning.
I was not keen initially to go with him, you must understand. But it was all so romantic. He avoided any troublesome discussions which was wise.
He was polite and talked about all the things I like talking about. We then took a long walk in the gardens enjoying each other under the stars. I had my arm in his arm and my head on his shoulder. Just like old times.
SATURDAY
We slept late this morning tired but happy. We woke up silent, but in each other’s arms, just like married people should. And the rest of our day was just as perfect.
SUNDAY
Church was great. We felt and looked like a couple. But I am not fooled, there are things we need to sort out in our marriage, but I guess in God’s time.
