*FATINAS FAITH* EPISODE 10 ::::::********: ::::::: i watched my faati as she tucked me bed. She had not been herself ever since she went to see her mother two weeks back. No more the cheerful-smilin g faati, the old faati seem to be creeping back in place. Good night. she whispered turning to leave. Faati? i called out, just as she held the door knob. Yes? she didnt look back. Can we talk? in a low voice. Cant wait till morning? she asked irritated. Please... i sounded desperate. With a sigh, faati turned and walked up to me. so? she said crawling up the bed beside me. faati... taking her hands. She pulled away, i expected that too. Errm, I just wanna ask if youre alright? Ever since you came from your mothers place Youve been moody....errrmm , is anything wrong? i said in a cool voice. Faati looked away. Whys am i asking her that? Do i cares?! Olwo tugambe nti ofaayo nyo! D devil in me asked Im fine. she sighed. I know you are, but deep within you are troubled, talk to me my patrifat...i said soothingly. She looked at me briefly, i dint sound like patu at all, did the illness change me?! Is there anything the doctor said about your health apart from your legs? she asked. I felt my heart beat increase. Your mother told you right? my voice was faint. she did, and I wonder why you never told me that... she replied getting off the bed. faati... I just felt you shouldnt know, I know itll hurt you.. It hurts more that I heard it from someone else... her voice was rising. Im sorry, its just that....errmm.. .faati please, understand me.... i looked confused. Understand you? Of course you know faati is daft! An Illiterate can never understand! her voice became harsh. No ... what I mean is that, I would be treated, and everything would become fine... i tried to explain. Faati shook her head slowly. Your legs will be treated not your ....your...your ...Impotency! she replied angrily. My eyes narrowed, i looked hurt. I wore a painful look that made faati regret her words. Thats not true my beibe..its just that...that...s ome things got complicated...o nce my spinal cord gets back in place, Ill b normal again... my voice was shaky. Normal again? Were you normal before? she made a face. When you were busy sleeping around with Sophia...have.. .have ...you ever thought if...if...if... Im human with needs? tears filled her eyes. This marriage is almost two years now..and...and. .. sobs choked her. Faati please, I know Ive wronged you...but please... i was crying too. I guess you want me stay right? But how am I sure you aint trying to be nice just because youre ill! Im sure when you get back on your feet again; youll become the real patu, and Ill no longer be patrifat but a daft-illiterate girl! faati said angrily, before turning to leave the room. please wait i called after her. But she left banging the door behind her. I stared at the door in horror. I knew i was doomed, should faati decide to end the marriage. I was at her mercy. God help me! i clasped my palms in prayer. Maybe she was right, that if i get on my feet, i might not regain my manhood! Perhaps the doctor lied to me? The doctor told me, all would be well... patu bukyanga wepanka you are in deep mess: i muttered fighting back tears. If faati should leave him, i wont survive it. I might lose my life, cos i was madly in love with her.... #CAN_CONVINCE_MY_PATRIFAT_STAY_IN_DIS_TRYING_PERIOD EPISODE 11
