"Im int... Interested but... but...," i stammered not believing kuti the day
would come rekuti ndichatiza Jalon. "but i once tried it asi anondibata
Jalon. Unoziva hako zvinondiita Jalon ka....," Ndakambomira misodzi
yakuerera nematama angu.
Ini ndainge ndisisagone kutaura neshungu. "Zvandinoitwa naJalon
inininika!!! � Kutambura une freedom kuri nane."
"Everything is going to be okay. Ndichakubatsira."
He paused and i waited kuda kunzwa kuti ai planner kuti ndaitiza sei.
"Ndichakubatsira zvangu don't worry. But on 1 condition," akataura
achiswedera pedyo neni kwakubata chidya changu ndichibva ndati,
"Kelvin!!!??"
Ipapo hana yainge yambozorora yainge yakurova. "Ndaikuda kubva
kudhara iwewe nei waisazviona." Akataura atori serious kwakubva
ndazama kuvhura door but it was locked.
Nehasha i closed my eyes kwakuti, "Open the damn door before i
scream"
"Mira Catty. Why waisazviona kuti ndinokuda pese apa pandaitambira
kumba kwako kuri kuda kukuona. Rara neni and i will help you escape
from that animal."
"Im not interested Kelvin open the door please," ndaidaro ndichizama
kuvhura door but it was locked. Ndaitadza kurivhura.
"Vhura door kani Kelvin. Why are you taking advantage of my
situation," ndakadaro misodzi yakutoerera achibva ati, "Im handsome,
charming, rich, successful."
He paused kwakubata strand rebvudzi rangu. I had very long hair randai
maintainer. Ndaigara ne natural hair randairuka ndega apo neapo.
"You have beautiful hair and you are beautiful," akadaro.
I slapped him kwakubva ndati, "You are handsome, you are rich
whatsoever... So what???? Vhura door."
Ndaidaro ndichirova rova window trying kutsvaga help.
"Because of that ndinodiwa nevasikana vakawanda. Vakanaka futi
kukudarika. Don't say kuti im taking advantage of you ini ndikutokuitira
favor. Kungorara neni ka1 wotiza woenda haisi favor here iyoyo."
"Ndinoziva zvekukoshesa inini. Variko vasikana vanoda izvozvo. I'm
not just the right one for that deal. I don't sleep around because im being
abused. I will remain faithful to my husband. Forget it im not sleeping
with you."
His face quickly changed kwakubva ati, "Some man are blessed. I was
joking. Infact hear this. Door ndikuvhura."
He then played the audio kwakunzwa izwi raJalon achiti, "Test her
because we are about to take another step in our marriage "
"I don't sleep with married woman. Worse mukadzi wako.
Ukundiomesera.," Ndiye Kelvin aidaro.
"Wanzi urare naye nani. Tempt her akabvuma wogumira ipapo. Wanzi
urare naye nani. Iweka iwe! Ukwane. Ndinokupinza banga. Ita
zvandakuudza chete iwewe."
Audio yacho yainge yakatangira pakati kwakubva anditsanangurira. He
had secretly recorded the audio Jalon asiri kuziva. After ndainzwa he
took a deep breath kwakuti, "Forget about what happened. Ini ndanga
ndichingoita zvandanga ndaudzwa but that's not my intention on you. I
want to help you escape zveshuwa."
"What do you want in return. How??" I asked kwakubva ati, "Izvozvo
tinozotaura. Tell your husband zvaitika zvese to gain his trust asi
usamuudza kuti ndakunzwisa audio."
He paused kwakubva atarisa chigunwe changu. Chainge chakazvimba
after ndaminyurwa naJalon. Akaratidza kundinzwira tsitsi chaiko
achibva atora mushonga kwakuzora.
"Zvakaoma," akadaro achirongedza kamushonga kake ndokubva apfeka
coat rake.
"You are a doctor??" Ndakabvunza achibva ati, "Yes"
"You are so humble," ndakataura because as i said Kelvin aiita semunhu
asina mari.
"Unopukuta mushonga iwoyo after 10 minutes. I..." He paused
kwakubva atarisa panze. He seemed like aida kuchema zvekuti
ndakazvishayawo kuti nei. Akakwanisa kuzvidzora achibva ati, "I... I'm
sorry about what's happening. I grew up with an abusive father. He
could beat amai vangu tiripo. Zvaindirwadza mai Santos. That's how my
mother died."
Akapedza kutaura maziso ake ajenga misodzi kwakubva ndati, "Im so
sorry."
"Vakaurayiwa ndichiona unoziva," akataura misodzi yakuerera. It's not
something easy kuti murume acheme. Panenge pane zvikukutu zvinenge
zviripo. Ipapa it seemed like there was more to his story. Ndakada
kubvunza nyaya yacho yese but it was not good to do so.
"Vakafa ndichiona amai vangu inini. Mhamha vaiti vakatadza ma first
days he would just slap her but nekufamba kwenguva he would beat her
zvekuti hapana aibata. Zvinhu zvatairegerera asi ndizvo zvakazouraya
mhamha. Now i don't want kuona mukadzi achirohwa. Ndinokurudzira
vamwe to report these cases but your case is different that's why im
choosing kukubatsira. Jalon is a powerful man so akasungwa anodzoka.
Running away is the only option for you. I can help you kana uchida. I
can help you..."
Murume mukuru akachema kunge mwana. It was so heartbreaking
seeing him cry like that. Ndakatrier kumu comforter kwakubva ati,
"Chienda Catty unozopinda busy naJalon."
Akataura akanditarisa mumaziso. I could see pain in his eyes, deep pain.
"Ndinotaura newe sei," ndakabvunza achibva ati. "I will convince Jalon
kuti ndiite a project newe. That way tinoonana totaura. Just tell him
zvaitika before the audio and i will tell him the same..that way unowana
a little bit of his trust."
"Thank you. I wish you well. Don't overthink about the past. I'm very
sorry for the loss."
"Yaa hapana zvatingazvichinja. I'm now fighting to protect you from
him and i hope you will cooperate. Im risking my life. Jalon is
dangerous ungwarire."
I nodded kwakubva ndabuda mumota make. It seemed like i was going
to gain my freedom back and my life was going to change. Though
ndaizorarama ndichitiza Jalon zvaive nane than kurarama ndichi abuswa
naye.
Ndakasvika kumba ari muoffice make. I made him coffee kwakubva ati,
"Did you buy the groceries"
"Ooo no.. ndatya kuremerwa chigunwe changu chiri kurwadza,"
ndakadaro remembering kuti ndainge ndasiya ka trolley kaya ke grocery
mushop. Ndainge ndangotenga hembe dzangu chete.
"It's fine. Kwanga kuri sei?"
"Ndine nyaya yandiri kuda kukuudza," ndakadaro ndichigara pa chair
achibva ati, "Nyaya yei."
Akataura akatarisa pa laptop pake achikwidza tuma spectacles twake. I
was sure he knew i had met Kelvin that day.
"I met with that anonymous person," ndakadaro kwakubva ati,
"Masanganirana kupi. Makutoita zvekuonana zvenyu. Vana Catty
hamudi kusiwa munofarisa sterek. Makutoda kurebesa muswe ka."
"It's not that??," Ndakadaro kwakubva ati, "Saka chii."
Patience dzaaiita dzakatindiratidza kuti ari kuziva because Jalon aisave
munhu we patience especially pane zvinotsamwisa.
"The anonymous ndi Kelvin. Gaya he has my personal information yese.
Kuti nditi akaiwanepi ndatozvishaya ini."
"Waiona sei information yacho. Ukureva ipi information yacho."
"He has my birth certificate, chitupa. Kutogadzira ma visa hanzi ndikuda
kutiza newe. I was surprised."
"Zvese izvozvo wazviona uri pai," akabvunza atori serious ndichibva
ndati, "I went inside his car."
He chuckled kwakuti, "You are joking right.???"
"Im serious"
"Mumota make wanga uchitsvagei."
"I... I.. he told me kuti he wanted to give me your parcel. Ndinozviziva
hauzvide. Why would i be in his car iwe wakandirambidza."
"Saka parcel yacho wadii. Muchati reperwa vana Catty kuda zvinhu
kwenyu ikoko. Anyways zvikabva zvadii."
"Ndipo paataura zvekuda kutiza neni achi..." Before i finished he cut me
off achibva ati, "Ukatii panyaya yekutiza"
"I wasn't interested," i paused and chuckled kwakuti, "Though you
punish me because of my arrogance im happy here. I love this place. I
love you. Why would i want to escape??"
"Zvazodii"
"I just turned him off and went out of his car. Hanzi zvekare rara neni
titize tese. Obviously ndaramba."
He looked deep into my eyes kwakuti, "Why waramba iwe uchiti unoda
freedom" Akandibvunza akanditi ndee mumaziso, looking for the truth
inside them. Ndakamenza mate kwakubva ndati, "Because i love you. I
don't want kukusiya. You are part of my life. You are part of me Jalon.
You make me feel whole. Above all ndinokuda Jalon."
He took time starring into my eyes achibva ati, "Nyangwe neni
ndinokudawo Catty. Thank you for being honest with me." He kissed me
so passionately. The kiss was filled with love, passion and desire zvekuti
ndakamboda kuitwa carried away and stick with my man asi aiwa
enough was enough. Ndaifira mumaoko ake Jalon. I was also living for
him and his desires. Jalon was possessive, abusive and a controlling
husband which made me forget about my own desires, passions and
fantasies.
Anyways this day he made love to me like never before. Iniwo
ndainyepera kunge i was in the mood. Ndakaudzwa ma i love you
asingapere.

Kelvin
Ndakatura befu kwakuisa coat rangu paraigara ndichibva ndapukuta
huma yangu yainge ine dikita. Kwainge kuchipisa zvisingaite i think
imvura yaida zvayo kunaya. Ndakatarisa panze through the window
kwakuona mukadzi wangu akagara nevamwe vakadzi ndichibva
ndasiyana nezvandaida kuita ipapo. Ndakambo zvambarara pa bed for
some minutes, resting. Ndainge ndakavhara maziso angu though ndainge
ndisina kurara.
Later ndipo pandakamuka kwakunanga mu kitchen hoping that i could
find something to eat but ndakashaya. "Waswera sei," ndakabvunza
mukadzi wangu achibva ati, "Ndaswera bhoo"
"Can you come home pane zvandiri kuda."
"Ndabuda. Ndaenda kutown," she said ndichibva ndafamba kunotarisa
nepawindow kwakuona ari panext door. Iye haaimbo kwanisa kundiona
and pandaimuona napo haangambo fungire kuti ndingamuona.
"It's... It's fine," ndakadaro ndichiruma muromo wezasi. I didn't want
kutaura zvainge zvauya mupfungwa mangu and ndaisada kumunyadzisa
pane masahwira ake. Anyways i just ended the call and took some bread
kwakubika mazai ndichibva ndagara pasi.
"I hate bread," ndakadaro ndichidzosera chingwa chiye after one bite.
Nguva iyoyo ndakabata fon yangu and logged into my Facebook
account. 'Catrionna Santos' i searched the name but it didn't appear like
that. Paive nerakanzi Catrionna Kunashe Santos. I opened it with so
much curiosity ndichida kuona ma pictures ake but i was disappointed
ndichiona kuti she had only posted a picture of her and her husband.
"Pheeww," ndakatura befu ndichinzwa kuti pano ndakaneta chaizvo asi
ndaifanira kubika. Anyways ndakarovedzera nyama dzangu and cooked
Sadza chairo nemavegetables ari ega. Ndakabika mavegetables chete
bcoz ndiwo andaida not bcoz mu fridge maisave nenyama.
Ndakapedza kwakudya ndichibva ndaisa nyama pa stove. I knew that
Linda paaiuya aisada sadza nemavegetables chete. Ndichangopedza
kubika she came back achibva ati, "Wabikei babe" Aitaura achivhura
mapoto kwakubva atopakura.
Akapedza zvese kana kumbobvunza kuti wadya here. Apedza ndipo
paakatura befu achibva ati, "You are a good cook."
"But you know i hate cooking."
"I know babe."
"And you know kuti kana ndadzoka kubasa i will be hungry, ndinenge
ndichida kudya."
"Ndanga ndakumhanyira kutown," she said achiisa makumbo patable
kwakubva ndati, "Pandakufonera ndanga ndichida undibikirewo."
"Ndanga ndichizviziva asi ndaidii ini ndanga ndiri kutown."
"Hapana sure," i said carelessly. Aizviziva kuti when i talk like that
ndinenge ndine zvandiri kuziva achibva atoita moody
kwakunyararidzana tichiona tv.
"Is it my duty to cook for you," she asked angrily after shungu dzaserera
kwakubva ndatarisa kuTv kwakumutarisa ndichibva ndati, "Hakuna
munhu ane duty mu marriage. I'm sure i made that clear before we got
married."
"Then why do you expect me to cook for you everytime you come back
from work. You are now making it my duty."
"Ndinodzoka kubasa ndakaneta. Semunhu anonzwisisa you should
understand that. Pandinoswera pano tinobatsirana ma chores wani."
"You are making me feel like it's my duty. Infact you are now making it
my duty. Ndinomuka ndoita mabasa ese epano yet iwewe you also
expect me to cook for you when you come home. To make matters
worse unonetsa Kev! Unonetsa! Unenge uchida kudya chikafu chichiri
kupisa ini ndabika futi makuseni." She paused and rolled her eyes
achibva andinongedzera ndokuti, "You know what if we had a child she
probably would be old enough to cook for us by now. Fuck you!"
She said achida kubuda padoor ndichibva ndabata ruoko rwake ndokuti,
"Did you just say Fuck you to me."
"Ooo yes i did. So what?" Ndakanzwa hasha kuungana mandiri and i
raised my hand to slap her ndichibva ndazvidzora.
"Beat me... Beat me Kelvin... Ndirove.... You want to be like your father
right ndirove. You want to kill me like how your father killed your
mother... Well go on ndirove" She said azarirwa neshungu uku misodzi
yakutobuda nekumubata kwandainge ndaita. Ndainge ndakamubata
zvaisarwadza but i think she was crying out of fear nehasha dzandakaita
ipapo.
It was my first time attempting to beat her. I never thought of beating my
wife, ndaimuda and hurting her would hurt me more.
Ndainge ndichiri nehasha so i just pushed her mbichana achibva
azvidonhedzera pasi ega ndokubva ati, "You are just like your father.
You are a monster."
Hakuna chinhu chandainge ndakavenga sekufananidzwa nababa vangu. I
was much a better person. "Im nothing like my father and i will never
be." Ndakataura ndakamunongedzera ndichibva ndabuda kwakumusiya
akazvambarara pasi, crying like ainge arohwa chaizvo.
That moment ndakafunga zvangu Jalon kwakufunga mukadzi wake. I
then realized something, life was not fair. Ndikatarisa mukadzi waJalon
nekudzikama kwaainge akaita nerespect yaaipa murume wake ndofunga
kuti airohwa zvaindibata bata. Ndakafunga zvekare mukadzi wangu. She
was very disrespectful, rude, dishonest, unfaithful yet it was about 9
years ndisina kumbomupa kana mbama chaiyo.
"Zvakaoma," ndaidaro ndichirasa fon yangu kure neni. Pasina nguva
ndakabatirwa nehope kwakuzomutswa naLinda after adhonza blanket
rainge riri pandiri ndichibva ndati, "What do you need the blanket for
nhai Linda apa ukundifugura."
She just ignored kwakudhonza blanket riya achinorara kulounge.
Ndainge ndakazvipa rule yekuti nomatter what comes ndaisafanira
kurara ndakatsamwidzana naLinda. I went ku lounge ndichibva
ndachonjomara kwakumufugura face yake achibva avhara. Ndakafugura
achibva avhara ndokubva ati, "Hebo"
She knew ndaida kuti sorry that's why akapindura ndisina kutanga
kutaura. Anyways takanyengererana and i carried her kubedroom.
Ndakuda kumubata she said aisada izvozvo she was tired. I just said it
was okay.
"I don't see any meaningful reason of doing it," she said ndichibva ndati,
"Any meaningful reason of having sex?"...... "Yes," she replied
ndichibva ndati, "Ukurevei?"
"Im tired of having an intimacy with you but ndisingaite mwana inini.
Im tired," she said akutochema ndichibva ndanzwa moyo wangu
kurwadza. "Neniwo zvinondirwadza," i said as my eyes suddenly
became teary asi semunhu wemurume ndakazvishingisa and tried to not
cry. Instead i pulled my wife into my arms kwakumu hugger trying to
comfort her.
"Let's keep on trying. Who knows what God has for us"
"Im tired," she said achidzika pabed kwakubva amonera gown rake.
"Ukuendepi?," I asked achibva ati, "Kutoilet."
"Use this one"
"I hate kukunhuhwidza... I want to do zvimwe zviya zviya."
I just nodded kwakubva ndatora fon yangu kwakufonera mhamha,
munin'ina wamhamha. I just thought of her. She didn't pick. Ndakutoda
kufona she then said, "Ukudei Kelvin. I told you that the day you will
come nemuzukuru kunouku is the day you will talk to me."
She ended the call not giving me mukana wekutaura zvandaida. The
reason why my mom vainetsera mwana is because, my father had 2
wives. So i don't even understand why my father wrote a will vakati
muzukuru wavo wekutanga mukomana would take pfuma yavo.
Vana vamainini, mumwe mukadzi wababa vaive nevana vaingoita vana
vasikana. Ininiwo ndainge ndisitorina mwana. When my mother died
takatanga kugara namainini munin'ina wamhamha baba vachibva
varoora zvekare munin'ina wamhamha. We were still young
pazvakaitika so kungokura kwese kwatakaita mhamha vedu was
munin'ina wamhamha and ndaitovabata samai chaivo. My biological
mother died vachirohwa nababa.
Nenyaya yepfuma ndaigara ndakapinzwa busy namhamha kuti tifambe
ndiite mwana asi ndaisada. Competition yacho vaiiwanza fani kunge
murume wacho ainge achiri mupenyu. Anyways i can say hama dzangu
dzaindishungurudza fani and ndaitove chiseko.
Anyways ndakasiyana nazvo ndichibva ndatevera Linda kutoilet. Ainge
achangobva kuchema so who knows ko kana ainge achida kuzvikuvadza
or something.
Anyways ndakatevera only to find out kuti ainge achitaura neboyfriend.
"Pheew zvakaoma," i said ndichidzokera kuroom kwangu. It was not the
first time kumubata but nguva iyoyo moyo wangu wakabva wasviba.
Ndainge ndamboita patients naye but ndainge ndaneta. Sometimes i
would think kuti ai cheater bcoz she was desperate for a child asi
zvaindirambira. Ainge akamboita mwana b4 we met akafa so obviously
ndini ndaive ne problem. We both knew kuti ndini ndaive neproblem.
The following day ndakamuka ndichinzwa kuneta chaiko. I was even
tired of life itself. Yaive nyaya yekushaya mwana chete asi Linda
ndaimuda and ndaimuratidza kuti ndaimuda asi ndaishaya kuti chii
chaicho chaaishora. Hama dzangu dzainge dzatondirasa nenyaya
yekushaya mwana and i think mhamha vaifambisa nyaya dzekunyepa
about me kuti ndivengwe. Chaizobhowa hama idzodzo dzaidzoka
zvekare dzichida mari, ukamubatsira, kana zvaita aikurasa. Vashoma
vaindifarira and vanoverengeka.
Ndakafunga zvekutiza naCatty and go kwataisawanika, start a new life
etc It was not my plan kutiza at first. Mari ndiyo yainge yakunetsa
kubatika kwayo asi Linda was using mari zvisinganzwisisike. I asked
kuti mari wakaisepi yatai saver but aiti aiishaya. Deep down i knew she
had spent it. Anyways handina kuda kunetsana naye. Ndainge
ndakufunga zvekutongotiza chete.

"I was.... I was just touching the file ndichida kurongedza," i answered
Jalon kwakubva ati, "Usabate zvinhu zvangu iwewe," He said grabbing
his file achibva atora kajira kainge kadonha and banged the door.
Ndakasara kwakufunga zvainge zvabva mukuitika. I think Jalon was
using my art in his business. I think that was the reason why he had tore
my dress achida kutora that piece of art. Ndakanzwa moyo wangu
kupisa asi chekuita painge pasina. Ndainzwa kuda kumupeta peta Jalon.
He came to the bedroom kwakubva ndabuda maaive because ndainzwa
kusvotwa naye. Maybe inyaya zvekare yekuti ndainge ndave nenhumbu.
Ndakananga ku lounge achibva auya ku lounge.
"What did you need my piece of art for... "
"Which piece are you talking about," he asked kunge munhu aisaziva
zvandaireva.
"Why did you tore my dress"
"Because it was short. Usanditongese. You now have balls iwewe.
Wakutoda kutonditongesa."
"Im asking a question Jalon. Im asking you a simple damn question," i
said ndakavhara maziso angu zvehasha kwakubva ati, "Well handi
answe zvakadhakwa kudaro. Zvauri kufunga izvozvo ndizvozvo."
He said carelessly achidya ma popcorns. Ndakamutarisa neziso
reruvengo chairo asi as i always say hapana zvandaimuita mwana
wavamwene vangu. "You are not the man i married. I need my man
back," i said angrily ndichisimuka. I wanted to go out achibva abata
ruoko rwangu ndokuti, "If only you can give me back the woman i
married"
"Ooo com'on. I haven't changed Jalon. I'm the same Catrionna you
married years ago. Iwewe ndiwe wachinja. Unoita zvinhu
zvinonyangadza iwewe. How dare you steal my piece of art iwe
uchindiudza kuti im still an amateur. You know i love art Jalon," i
paused misodzi yakuyerera neshungu and continued ndichiti, "You
know i love art Jalon but haundi supporte. All you can do is steal my art
and use it behind my back ndisingazive inini. You killed the confidence i
had in my art yet zvako zvichikufambira. What kind of a man are you
Jalon. Hutsinye hwakaita sei ihwohwo and how can you lie and steal
from me inini mukadzi wako... How..."
"Ukudei? Money," he cut me off kwakubva ndati, "I don't need your
money Jalon."
"Saka ukudei for your piece of art. Ukudei kunge fanike ndakakubira
zvinhu zvakawanda."
Ndakaramba ndakanyarara ndisisagone kutaura neshungu.
"At least appreciate me." I later said
"Ndizvo zvaukuda chete. Mari yacho yandinowana don't we spent it
together."
"Then why waizvivanza."
"Sezvandambotaura usanditongese. Handisi mwana wako. Respect me."
Akataura nehasha kunge ndiye ainge arwadziswa kwakubva arova table
ndokuti, "That is the only piece of art yako yandanga ndichida
kushandisa. I never used any piece of yours. I called you an amateur
because you are still an amateur. You need kudzidza chaizvo because
honestly hauna zvaunogona wakangofanana nemunhu asina
zvaanoziva."
"Don't you dare discourage me Jalon iwe ukushandisa art yangu."
"For the last time Catrionna Santos what do you need in return." He said
avhara maziso nehasha and achiratidza kusvotwa nezvandaitaura.
Ndakadzungudza musoro wangu ndichibva ndati. "I need nothing from
you Jalon. Upfume nazvo."
"Im already rich but not because of you."
"It's your richness. Keep it."
"Thank you "
Ndakabuda mu lounge maaive ndichibva ndaenda ku bedroom kwangu
kwakumbochema ndirimo.
The following day zuva rakandi nonokera kudoka kwaro. It was the last
day ndina Jalon and ndainzwa kamwe ka happiness kandainzwa so. That
very day i decided to give Omega my necklace. It was worth a couple of
thousand dollars but i didn't mind.
Zuva iroro Jalon came kubedroom akabata bank card rake achibva ati,
"Im sorry for using your art pakawanda. Though it's not zvinondiendesa
kumberi. Im a hardworking man inini zvaunoziva. I stole your art thrice
and changed it zvishoma but you know me kuti ndiri munhu anozvi
shandira."
That was true, very true. When it came to richness, Jalon deserved to be
rich. He was a hardworking man and i learnt a lot from him when it
came to hard working and fighting for what you want. Jalon was a
fighter and was that kind of a person who rarely give up on something.
Chaaida ainge ada, chaaisada ainge atoramba zvachose.
"I know. I forgive you ndisiye ndirare," ndakadaro ndichipinda mu
blanket. Zveshuwawo i had a forgiving heart. Akanditarisa achibva ati,
"Im transferring some money in your bank account."
"I don't have a bank account" i reminded him because taishandisa mari
yake tese and let me be honest, i had almost everything money could
buy.
"I created one for you. Im giving you some cash for your art. I don't
want kuti ufunge kuti ndinonyatsori nebasa ne art yako."
"All is okay," ndakadaro moyo wangu uchifara. I was going to escape
the following day so probably i needed some cash. Ndaitoshaya kuti
ndokumbira sei mari yacho. I was very grateful.
"Tomorrow we will meet and that will be your last time kuona Jalon"
Kelvin sent a message to me.
"I pray it will be the last time," i said ndichibva ndasender imwe
message yakanzi, "Im very grateful Kelvin."
"It's too soon to thank me."
"I have faith in you and God"
"Yaa faith and hope is important"
"I now have cash"
"That's good."
"Can i ask a personal question. Why are you running away."
"I need to start a new life. I'm tired of kushungurudza with people
vandino expector kuti vandi nyaradze. I'm not running away for good,
ndikuda kumbofurwa nemhepo and make sure Jalon won't come near
you. Ndikuda kuve sure about your safety and i might come back or
not."
"Thank you."
"Chirara mangwana we have a journey. Ndiri kukuona makuseni handi."
"It's okay."
The following day ndakamuka kwakutarisa some of my clothes i had
designed ndichibva ndanzwa kurwadziwa kuti ndakudzisiya but there
was nothing i could do.. For a moment ndakanzwa tsitsi ndakatarisa
Jalon uyo aive pa laptop pake asingazive kuti kunei. Kundishungurudza
hake Jalon but sometimes he was a good man. He sometimes tried to be
a good man asi aikundikana. For the good he did i appreciated it.
Nguva iyoyo ndakabata dumbu rangu kwakubva ndanzwa moyo wangu
kupisa. What was i going to tell my child. Ndaiti baba vake varipi.
Pfungwa dzekusatiza dzakamboda kundibata because of that asi

"Wataura??" Asked Jalon. Ndainge ndameka some sounds but im sure

"No handina. I'm just thinking out loud."
"It's okay. Ndine project yandiri kuita. Do you mind making some coffee
for me ndikurumidze ndapedza."
"You really love coffee," i said smiling kwakubva anyemwererawo
ndokuti, "You prepare it the way i like it. I enjoy your coffee. You are
very good."
For the first time in 5 years he appreciated my coffee. The feeling was
new to me. Ndakabuda kwakudzoka nayo ndichibva ndati, "Here you
go"
"Thank you?," He said moving her eyes from his laptop to me.
"Wakachena" he complimented. Well when it came to compliments
about my dressing aindi commenter zvake. "But....," He added and then
paused.
"But??"
"Ukunoona Kelvin. I suggest you change to a much decent dress."
"This one makes me comfortable," i said ndabhowekana. The dress was
one of my favorite so ndiyo yandaida kutiza nayo.
"I think long and flarred dresses can make you more comfortable."
Akataura achisimuka kwakubva atora one of the most dresses i hate
nema heels.
"These are much better," he said achinditarisa mutuma girazi twake.
Aipfeka maglass when using his laptop. Ndakamutarisa ndichinzwa
kusvotwa nehasha chaidzo kwakubva ati, "What are you waiting for?"
"I don't love the dress"
"I love it?" He said. He paused achikwidza ma spectacles ake achibva
ati, "Catrionna Santos, im teaching you one thing and ubatisise. Munhu
wese i suspect. Every man in capable of anything. Don't trust anyone.
Even me. Even yourself. Ita zvinhu zvako wakangwarira, nyika yashata.
Kelvin waukuona uya uya, you don't even know zvaanokufungira. Ndiri
murume inini. That person ziso raanokutarisa naro I don't even
understand it. Ko akaku raper or something iwe wakashama kudai."
"The dress rinosvika pamabvi Jalon"
"It shapes your body zvinoratidza how sexy you are. Anyways usandi
pikise. That person I don't trust him. Ndine kamwe ka feeling so
kandinako. Anokuda or atove obsessed newe muface uya uya. The way
he looks at you speaks many things. I think you should stop meeting
him. Enda unorara."
With those words he turned around and focused on his laptop.
Ndakapera simba mumabhonzo angu kwakugara pa bed ndokubata
shaya.
"Ndanga ndichida kubuda nhasi Jalon. I need to record something and
it's needed mangwana."
"Someone will do it for you. I don't even know why i agreed kuti
ushande naye at the first place. It was a mistake."
"I love my job Jalon. Semadiro aunongoita basa rako Jalon. Understand
me." Ndakadaro maziso ajenga misodzi.
Haana kundipindura ipapo he just got up kwakutora gym suit yangu
ndokuti, "Don't worry babe. Exercise for a while stress inopera unenge
watove bhoo."
Pamba pangu paive negym.
"I don't feel like that Jalon"
"Hupenyu hausi hwekutevedzera ma feelings. Before i started my

kwazvinoti svitsa. Feelings are just feelings. Kakawanda kandisinga
feele kuda kuenda kubasa but just because i need money ndinotoenda.
Ma feelings haatevedzerwe kana uchida kuti zvikufambire."
"I don't love going ku gym"
"I don't love my job too asi ndinoita."
"Going ku gym is not necessary for me and I don't need that."
"You need that. Fitness is important."
"Ooo come on Jalon. I don't need that."
"For the last time you aren't going anywhere. Period."
That was that. "Pheeww," ndakatura befu rekupererwa chairo.

Ndakazvimanikidzira kuenda ku gym and it surely cooled me off
zvenguva iyoyo. As i was bathing ndakanzwa door kuvhurwa. It was
Jalon. He removed his clothes kwakubva ati, "Can i join you"
"No thank you"
"Im already naked"
"Then why are you asking Jalon," i said rolling my eyes
ndakamufuratira. I'm sure dumbu rangu rainge risati raoma zvekuratidza
nhumbu. Anyways it was an innocent shower. Takageza and he carried
me to bed.
Ndakangosvika nekungorara kwakubva ati, "Handisi kuenda ku office
kwangu nhasi. I want a long night with you. I miss spending time with
you."
"It's okay," i said with a low voice kwakubva ati, "You are still angry
with me."
"Very angry."
"Edei waimboziva kuti ndinenge ndichitoitira iwewe usingambodaro.
That man can be capable of raping you."
"Can i ask a question"
"Bvunza?"
"How many girls and woman vanopfeka tunhu tupfupi and tunoshepa
muviri vaunosangana navo kubasa or anywhere."
"Vakawanda"
"Do you rape them."
"No"
"Thank you?," I said ndichifuga musoro wanku achibva ati, "Have you
asked why i don't."
"Why?," I asked him ndichakafuga musoro achibva ati, "Because
ndinozvidzora plus my eyes are only on you. Hazvigoneke
nevakawanda."
"What makes you think kuti Kelvin would do such a thing"
"Because haasi inini. Anenge ane ruchiva mupfanha uya uya."
"He is older than you"
"Money talks. Why are you on his side. Kasi unomuda?"
"No... No way. Handimude."
"Then why ukunditongesa nekumurambira."
"It's just a conversation "
"I hope so."
He then switched off the light. Ndaitonzwa kumarwa chaiko. Ndainge
ndichida kutaura naKelvin and notify him zvainge zvaitika. I couldn't do
that Jalon arimo.
Anyways the following day ndakamuka ndichirwara. I think inyaya
yenhumbu. Ndainzwa musoro nedzungu. Jalon akamuka kwakunanga
kubasa kwake. Ndakasara kwakutanga Kelvin ndichibva ndaisa ma
crying imojis ndokuti, "Kelvin ���"
"Usacheme Catty it will be well. We will find a way."
"May the Lord pave the way for us."
"Amen."
"Ndapererwa unoziva hako. I think Jalon anokufungira kuti unondida or
something."
"Igodo chete. You know im just helping you."
"I know. I trust you," ndakasender message ndine ka doubt kekuti should
i really type that.
"Murume wako ari sei mazuvano. Is he still abusing you or kukuita
something."
"A lot has changed mazuvano. He is now sweet, asi rough yake haasati
amira."
"That's great. I hope he doesn't change kuitira vachauya after you. Iwe
uchamuda here Jalon."
"Not everyone you love is good for you. Some people should be letted
go nyangwe tichivada sei."
"Just answer me. Uchiri kumuda here kana kuti kwete."
"I no longer love him," i said ndichimenza mate. I loved Jalon. Call me a
fool or anything but Jalon ndaimuda handingazvirambe. Because of that
love i tried to be patient with him ndichiti pamwe achachinja asi zvainge
zvatoramba and nomatter how painful it was, i was going to leave him..
"Kana usingamude bhoo. Handizode zvevanhu vanoti ndavabatsira
kutiza vodzokerana. Ndini ndinenge ndakutoita kunge benzi. I once met
a lady who did that after ndasungisa murume wake. Ndini ndinenge
ndatove munhu akashata ka."
"I get your point. I have already made up my mind."
"Good thank you."
"I thank you more."
"I was thinking of kunyengerera Jalon kuti ndikuone mangwana but
kana atotanga kusandi truster kudai i think it's good kuti utotiza. What i
mean is it's good kuti uzobva pamba uchitiza. I suggest that because
obviously asingandi truste anenge akutotuma vanhu to secretly watch
you from afar."
"I get your point"
"What are you planning to do."
Ndakamuudza plan yangu achibva ati, "Amazing. Try kuzviita
mangwana. Please usabatwe because unopondwa iwe. Today Jalon
bought a gun ndichiona."
"You should've saw it as a warning or threat. Ane imwe gun so anga
achida kutokuratidza kuti unouraiwa. Jalon ndinomuziva."
"Zvinotyisa izvi. Im risking my life for you."
"I owe you," i replied him kwakubva atora nguva asina kupindura. Later
ndipo paakati, "Ndakurara urare bhoo."
"Same to you."
"One more thing, aswera sei baby."
"Ndikurwara nhasi ini because of it."
"Shinga."
"I will try to."
"Okay bye"
"Bye"
Ndakatura befu after chatting with him kwakufugura blanket. I grasped
some air ndichibva ndazomutswa naJalon uyo aindi bata bata zvaisvota

Early in the morning Kelvin akapa Omega zvinhu zvandainge ndichida.

"I will be careful"
Masikati Jalon came kubva kubasa achibva ati, "Saka ukufunga

"Kukuudza chii?," I asked ndiri confused kwakubva ati, "Uchataura

Ndakambomira kwakuti dhuu kufunga ndichibva ndati, "About what

He just looked at me kwakudzungudza musoro. "Now i wonder why you
are hiding it from me."
"What am i hiding from you?"
"Hauna zvauri kuvanza handi?"
"Yes?"
"Don't test me?," He said achiswedera pedyo neni. He touched my hand

"Watanga Jalon," ndaidaro ndakutochema achibva ati, "Ndatangei.
Uchiri kunyepa nanhasi and hide things from me."
"I'm hiding nothing from you," ndakataura ndichideedzera nemarwadzo.
He came kwakubata mutsipa wangu.
"Jalon unondi uraya kani... Maihweeeeee," i screamed in pain achibva
ati, "Nyarara."
Ndakangoshinyira ndichichema. Imiwe ndakaita kunge ndichaurayiwa.
Kuti yaive nyaya yekutiza, i asked myself asi ainge azvibata sei.
"Saka hausikuda kutaura," he said adding pain pandiri. Ndakabva ndati,

Nguva iyoyo akabva andiregedza kwakundisiya ndichichema.
"I wanted to surprise you asi une hutsinye Jalon."
Akanyara murume mukuru kwakubva ati, "Im sorry."
"Trust me Jalon. Trust me???!!!" Ndakataura ndichisheedzera neshungu.
Akazama kundinyararidza but ndaisada zvekunyarara. Ndainge

"Prepare me some coffee," he said ndichibva ndasimuka and went into
