I got back from work last evening, my wife told me that she quarreled with my neighbor’s wife. I was very shocked, both women had lived in peace since we parked in. So I asked her what the problem was. She told me it was because of the rope where we dry clothes.
My wife wanted to dry her clothes and my neighbor’s wife wanted to dry her own also. One thing led to the other, and the quarrel started. As I was talking with my wife, my neighbor returned from work and his hot-tempered wife began to shout at him.”You better go and warn her husband to warn her or else.”
My wife wanted to go out to confront her but I held her back.”If you won’t allow me to go, then you better go out and tell her husband to tell his wife to shut her mouth or else I will come for her.”
My wife was angry. She entered the bedroom in anger. I opened the sitting room door to peep outside, at that moment I saw my neighbor also opening the door to come out. I thought the man was coming to warn me as his wife instructed. But he didn’t. He came to me and said. “Taata Jayden, I am sure you have heard about the drama. “I nodded “Yes, I have.”
“My wife is very wild. I will not sleep this night if I don’t do what she wants. She has asked me to warn you. I don’t know if we can just act the drama small.I will warn you and you will beg me to calm down. So I can go in and sleep well.
Ha no way. If you warn me and I start begging you, you will be sleeping well in your house and my wife will think I don’t have power. She will insult me all night for begging you. So what do we do?
Let us warn each other. You will warn me and I will warn you. When we warn each other seriously, we then go inside the house and we both can sleep. That way both women will know we stood for them.
My neighbor agreed and we started the fire.
I warned him very seriously. He also started warning me. Soon we were shouting at the top of our voices. His wife and mine came out.
He ran to bring a Hoe, I also went to the backyard and brought a machete. My wife started begging me to go inside. His wife was also begging him.
That was how we both entered inside the house and locked the door. There was silence in the compound.
My wife kept rubbing my chest and telling me to calm down. While she was still rubbing my chest and head my neighbor sent me a text. “It worked. Thank you, sir.”
I told my wife to fetch me cold water to drink. When she stood up, I replied back. “You owe me a bottle of beer”
I was still typing my message when my wife shouted from the kitchen. “But Taata Jayden, you have hot temper. Small rope quarrel women are having, you carried machete.”
