The Trick That I Employed To Escape From Him

I was feeling quite comfortable in his personal space, until the others began to leave the gathering one by one, that is. First, the third one. A signal was given, and the first one went out. The second one commented that he would go to the one who had just left, and off he went, never to return. As if someone outside had called him, the last one went to the kitchen, then came out from there. He was also gone.

Out of the blue, the coldness spread all over my body. I told him that I wanted to go because I was sure that anything bad could happen. "Oh, but we just arrived," he answered. He started to touch me in a way that was totally inappropriate. I pushed him away. I told him that his companions could return at any moment. "They won't be back for a long time," he said and grinned. It was really awkward already and I was about to stand up. He would not give up.

I pleaded with him. I told him we should go to a different place since I could not stand being around his friends. He finally agreed after some hesitancy, and he even chilled out a bit. That was enough for me to want to keep him at a distance. I told him not to follow my trail. He said he would not hurt me. He had come with money and gifts.

Asantewa was very angry and could not wait to call his partner when I told her about the almost-rape episode. "We should tell her and put a stop to these games." "That is right, but let him come to apologize with money first," Suzzy put forward. He would be all alone if it was purely about the money.

I was careful not to tip off his wife. I wished for the best and that the other woman would get the money instead of me, not only because he would probably pursue another woman after me but also because he would probably give her the money instead of me.

He phoned me. He took my empty stomach as a cue to place an order for delivery through the internet and said, "All this is for you because I care." He then sent me a message and called me after I confessed I had no money, saying, "Why don’t you also give me something back?” I said. “You are saying all this, but there is still someone else in your life,” I told him.

He maintained that he had been single for a long time. "Ask my friends." "Why would they call you 'our wife' if they know I'm married?" "Who knows, perhaps you will be my wife someday." "So, are you implying that she is nothing to you?" I asked, mentioning his girlfriend's name. "Are you suggesting that your marriage is of no significance?"

He hesitated and said, "Who leaked her name to you? With whom are you communicating?" "Where is your ring?" I inquired. "Do you keep it away due to me, or you just don't wear it?"

He made an unequivocal statement that he had not been involved with anyone for a long time. "Ask my friends." "When they know I'm married, why do they call you 'our wife'? Maybe you will become my partner." "So you think she means nothing to you?" I asked, mentioning his wife's name. "Are you implying that you will never be committed?"

He went on with his stammering, “Who told you about her? Who are you talking to?” “Where’s your ring?” I asked. “Do you take it off at all, or are you hiding it from me?”

He was very upset when he called me the next day. “Why did I need to mention my wife?” he shouted. “Why to escalate it this much when it is just between us?”

He had never before used the words “my” and “wife” in the same sentence. He went on yelling and even pushed me to the wall as if I had committed a crime when I told him I had not. “Do you want to destroy my life? I will find out who the culprit is.”

He maintained his accusation against one of his friends, nevertheless, I was sure it was the fault of Lameck. On that evening, Lameck, while speaking on the speaker phone to his wife who was trying to get some information, recorded a part of their conversation and sent it to his wife. Only when we put her in front of us did she say, "He was bothering me." The question of how a married man could behave so wrongly arises? Or is the wife involved in it?

Since then, he has not contacted me. I do not know what happened at his home. Asantewa also cannot tell what is going on, but it appears they will sort things out, like all married couples do. The forgiving of husbands is often done quickly by wives. They may fight, but they certainly will not part.
