I did not put this in Hekaya section because for me its not a hekaya but a revelation on the kinds of things that happen in these extramarital relationships. And the character of women who enter into such unions as second wives.This story is about a woman I used to work with in an obscure town in Kenya, we shared an office. So this lady was married to a certain man she had snatched from her first cousin and they had one child, the guy was taking care of her though not as much as she wanted, he had opened a cyber biashara for her. The lady fell in love with a loaded guy in the same workplace. However the man was a womaniser and certainly not ready to marry a baby momma. While still in a relationship with her husband who worked out of time, she was having a reationship with this guy from work. She was so would take the workmate home on Friday night, yes the house with the child and then the guy would leave Sato morning then she would go pick her hubby a few hours later. However as she grew more and more smitten with this guy from work, she broke up with her husband. Matter of fact when the guy left for Nairobi she asked for a transfer and followed him there. It was while she was there that he married another woman in church and the lady had to return back to the small town.
Now, this side of the story was told to me by a taxi driver, in this town taxi drivers are very chatty and once they establish where you from they will have something to say about people who work with you. So one evening on my ride home, a taxi driver narrated to me how this lady after returning back from Nairobi became super desperate since she lost both her hubby and the loaded woorkmate. She asked a taxi driver she was sleeping with to hook her up with a loaded guy, so this guy linked her with a guy who did wash wash business. He was also a very heavy drinker and used to frequent only one watering hole. The lady then begun frequenting the joint and soon enough she had slept with him. After that the guy immediately left his wife and four kids and they moved in together. This guy’s wife began to fall ill and became so so depressed that she couldnt get out of bed. The lady was now totally in control. The story she told her taxi driver bf who she was now sharing the loot with for helping her locate a cash cow was that she went to UG and after doing some rituals including 3 day burials and vulva massage with herbs and oils ,ofcourse all such love portion things recquire that the woman sleep with the juju man,now all she had to do was get this man to have sex with her and he would be hooked, also she asked for his wife to become immobilised. Btw his wife was younger than her and they had 4 kids. Whenever she felt she was losing her grip on this man she would return to UG to renew the covenant and the man would be back under her thumb.
One day while sitted in the office, she came with an envelope with some cash and told me the boss had given it to her and that we who call ourselves Christians will never enjoy free money from men. This was while she was with the guy of the wash wash. Then she fell in love with a married guy who worked for a company nearby our office. The guy would come often to do some work in our building, he took a liking to me as a friend, maybe because he could clearly tell the difference between my character and that of my ofismate since it was a small town, everybody knew everything about everyone so you couldnt lead a secret life and people not know about it. So they knew my lifestyle and they knew hers. So she one day confided to this guys workmate who was also my friend that I am the one stopping this guy from having an affair with her. When she told that guy he told the guy about her interest and sure enough he made sure he hit and run. After that he wouldnt even say hi to her when he came to do some work at our building, yet he remained very cordial to me . So she now told the same guy how I have stolen her man, he tried to convince her that I am above that but she wouldnt hear of it. Let’s just say after that, our working relationship became very strained.
On several occasions I heard her speaking on the phone telling her daughter to ask the dad(her new catch) for money and toys, she was always telling her to milk him for something.But when it came to kids of the first wife I would hear her complain incessantly on phone how the guy is spoiling those kids and how he gives them too much pocket money -since they were in boarding, the amount was kedo 5 soc. According to what I overheard. So I was like yaani she is complaining about her cowife’s kids being given 5soc for a term or until mid term when every weekend she and her daughter are taken out to a resort where they spend no less than 5k. The man was paying for everything from rent,to car.to fuel, to fees, to food,to everything. The lady wouldnt touch her salo. Hapo ndio nilielewa mama wa kambo kweli sio mama.
She once had a beef with another workmate over one of our bosses. They were both married and they were both sleeping with the guy for favours. However this other one was getting an upper hand as the guy favoured her more. She was better looking anyway, so it was to be expected. She was in another town though , the guy was so smitten with her that every fortnight he would fly her out some place for a weekend romp. Ofcourse that incensed the one we shared an office with. One day they were trading insults over the phone, this one said, do you know I work with your sister, you dont me and you dont know what I am capable of doing. Do you know who I am. A few weeks after that convo, the sister of the other lady who was very polite,very disciplined,married to a doctor and had a 5 year old boy,fell into a deep depression and begun to drink heavily and sleep around, even with very junior staff like drivers. That Easter, she went off to spend a weekend at one of her boyfriend’s place. Her husband came to her house and when he couldnt locate her he called her and she lied that she was at her parents, when he called her paros they said they havent seen her, that was on Good Friday, so the guy waited till when she came back on Easter Sunday, he was so furious that he told her ,he is breaking up with her and then he left, as soon as he left, the girl called her mom and told her she is tired of living and is commiting suicide,since her mom was far, she called people nearby to check on her, the guy who checked on her found her looking fine but just as he was about to leave the house she threw up a very strong smelling substance and then collapsed, he rushed her to hospital but she passed on during the night.
This was not all. There was a lady who was a very staunch Christian who we would talk alot with though she was in another department, you know how Christians are when they begin to talk of what the Lord means to them, they look like old friends yet theyve only just met, so from the first week I was stationed there she warned me against the same lady that she is involved in occult practices. I told her I have seen worse because I had had neighbours who were even witchdoctors and they complained that I am interfering with their altar when I would be praying in my house yet theres nothing they could do to me so I dont get scared easily I know I am under heavy protection nothing can happen to me. She told me that the lady is a cause of many miscarriages in the office. I asked her how she knew that and she just chimed that, with time I will see it for myself. I told her not to worry about me because my God is in control . So I was there for a few years and this is what I observed. This lady would all of a sudden get very close to a pg woman who she was previously not close to, she would then be so concerned to an extent of taking the lady for all her prenatal clinics and even bringing her food from home. Thing is that every last woman she did this with either had a miscarriage or a stillborn. All of them with no exception. I counted 6 times this happened. After that she would no longer be concerned or involved with the affected lady.
The interesting thing about this lady is that she is born in a monogamous kale family though her dad is mzee wa mti shamba , now her and all her sisters left their good and loving husbands to be second,thirds and fourth wives of men of means. Guys before ukimbilie to add wives think ten times about the character of a woman raised in monogamy yet has no qualms stealing husbands for money.
The moral of this very long winding story, is that anybody willing to snatch another woman’s husband can not have good character or good motives.Infact in the end they may even kill you the man who married them. Sio Wangui pekee yako. These stories abound. Dont expect faithfulness and loyalty, dont expect them to help you build a family empire coz all she sees in you is a money minting machine. Its not love its purely cash.
