Got this from one of my girlfriends and had to share.
EXTREMELY INTERESTING
--- She is better than good!!!!!!. The peace of God does pass all understanding.
Very interesting.
It's a sad world out there imagine when this happens to you.... Have you
ever thought of what you would do if you found your
Husband/fiancé/boyfriend, red-handed cheating on you? Worse still, in your
own bedroom? Have you ever thought of what would happen? These things
aren't only read on papers, they are real. They happen
to real women.<

Answer this question to yourself sincerely. Would you go for that
kitchen
knife, pack your stuff, or hire those thugs that do justice to other men.
A weapon called silence by Mildred Ngesa
I felt it the moment I turned the knob. The door was unlocked, but that
was
not unusual especially because his car was in the parking bay, where it
usually parked, when he's at home. What I felt was a knot forming in the
pit of my stomach - the kind of feeling you get When you hear movements in
the house when you know you are alone in the small hours of the night.
Every second Friday of the month, I travel to
Kampala to collect Fabric for
my vintage business in the city. On this particular Friday, I left home at
dusk as usual, heading for the city centre to catch the 8 pm Akamba bus
bound for
Kampala .
We waited for three hours and then it was announced that the buses had
been cancelled due to a technical hitch. With nothing else to do in town, I went
back home. The lights downstairs were on and so was the music. The English Premier
League was showing on TV,
so why wasn't my husband, a die-hard Arsenal fan,
watching the game?
Sometimes a woman's instincts can be so sharp that she can smell last
year's perfume on the shirt of her philandering man. My instincts were on
edge. Even though there was no actual perfume in the air. In fact, there
was nothing really that I could put my finger on. Just this odour of
violation that ripped my senses like nothing I had ever felt before.
Perhaps this feeling is what kept me from calling out to my husband. And it
stayed with me even as I tip-toed upstairs, heading for the master bedroom.
Nothing prepares you for anything like this. They had
not even bothered to
shut the door. I simply walked in and there they were, my husband and this
woman, naked save for my purple
flowered bed-sheets partly covering their
entwined bodies. It took me a moment to realize the high-pitched cry that
cut through the night was coming from me.
The bewildered pair scrambled to cover their nakedness and stared at me
blankly. They said nothing. My heart was beating so loud I could almost hear
its echo in the next room. Trust is a fragile emotion. Like glass breaking,
it can be shattered in an instant, never to be wholly recovered again. In that
instant, my trust for this man was lost. 'Why don't I go downstairs and make
you some tea?'
Did I just say that? I had just walked in on my husband and another woman,
and all I could do was offer them some tea! I slowly made my way back
downstairs. In the kitchen, I switched to auto-pilot, fetching a packet of
milk from the fridge,
lighting the
cooker, placing a pan of water on to boil,
bending to remove mugs and the flask. All the while, my mind was
abuzz, humming a tune I did not recognize.
This must be how zombies feel. It went on and on; the tune seemed to imply
that I ought to be in control, that I ought to keep
breathing so that I may
stay sane. The tea was ready and placed on the table. Three bright blue mugs sat neatly on light blue place mats. I waited for the 'guests' to come
down as I sat motionless, staring sightlessly at the
television.
They came down my husband first, dragging his feet like a prisoner
counting
his final steps to the gallows. He sat on the love seat - the two-seater on which he had cuddled and kissed me passionately just the night before.
She followed, hesitating for a moment near the same seat before moving to
the furthest corner of the room, near the door, a safe distance from me. I
began
talking as I poured tea into the cups. I rattled on and on about the
transport crisis and the difficulties of traveling at a time like this. But
instead of reaching for a cup, the woman stood up abruptly and headed for
the door. For a brief moment, our eyes met. She was not young. In fact,
she appeared quite mature, maybe even married. I heard the gate open. My
husband was still rooted to the
spot. 'Why
don't you see your visitor off?'
I prodded gently. He didn't move. I sighed and started talking about the
African Cup of Nations Championship and how sad it was that
Kenya had lost
to
Burkina Faso .When he did not respond, I yawned loudly, said goodnight
and went to bed. Sleep evaded me like the mosquitoes that buzz through out
the night. My husband did not come to bed with me - he opted for the couch.
By the break of dawn I had painted my mind red with all sorts of possible
revenge, thinking of the ultimate pain to inflict on him for the anguish
he has caused me. But my heart grew haggard on the prospect of a physical
confrontation. I was going to fight this war my own way and at my own pace.
Last night marked the beginning
of a cold war, not confrontation. I have
heard of, and even seen, women go after 'the other woman' with a panga.
But my reasoning was, this woman was not the only player here. My husband
probably seduced her. Other
women go so far as to attack their
husbands,
but then again, I thought: If a man is fed up with me, he will let me know.
If he wants to have an affair, that is his business. Strange, I know, but
silence was my weapon - and a very vicious weapon it was. As far as I was
concerned, that
was the end of it.
I went about my business as usual and did not say or do anything that would
suggest it had actually happened. Two weeks later, I was waking up and was
surprised to find my husband sitting at the foot of the bed, sobbing
deeply.
'I am sorry... so sorry. Please forgive me, please, just say something,
don't shut me out, just say something...' I looked at him calmly, my
heart frozen. My face
showed feigned surprise and innocence. 'What are you
talking about?
Sorry for what?' He sobbed even louder, sinking to his
knees, his head
buried in his hands. 'Say something... shout, scream, anything, but
please
don't be silent. It's killing me, please, I'll tell you everything...' I
smiled. It was the smile of a woman who has just tricked the devil into
getting down on his knees and
praying. It was the smile of a woman who had
won.
I had left my peace with God and He will deal with them in Time. At the end
I remained the Lady he had married, and the other women was just another
lesson for me that made me the better person I am today.
Send this to all the women and men you know!!!!!! wow
