“Where are these guys coming from?” Mrs Dike asked as she saw her husband coming from a nearby superman with her first child, Henry.
“Mummy, we went for shopping in the Alibaba shopping mall. I had a good time with Daddy and miss Dammy", Mrs Dike gazed and adjusted from her position just to get the full gists of whom the hell was that name Henry just let out of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Mr Dike was still packing his car in the right position before entering. There was a deep smile on his face, and even more than before. Mrs Dike observed her husband critically as he entered with an unusual smile. She was just too surprised seeing her husband in this mood.
“What's the reason for this smile?” She asked politely, but somehow trying to get words from her husband's. Even while talking, Mr Dike still maintained the smile. He did not observe his wife was sitting on the couch. Walked towards the dining and dropped his car keys.
“Something must be wrong somewhere. How come he refused to listen to me even after raising my voice to the highest level”, Mrs Dike soliloquized.
“Do you want me to mic before you can be able to hear me clearly?” Mr Dike turned and gave her wife a sweet smile.
“I want to ask you again and for the last time: what is the reason for the smile?”
“Oh, that? Honey, you cannot believe what I received today,” Dike said quietly smiling yet again.
“I don't need to ask, I know the reason for the smile already because I know you will turn the issue to something else”, Mrs Dike replied.
“I don't understand, Honey”, Mr Dike replied as the once smiled face was fading to pal weather.
“The shopping you went to, and the smile on your face, showed something had happened out there. Can you prove me wrong?” Mrs Dike fired her husband with exaggerated words.
She was unrest as she just wanted to speak up her mind after the happy look of her husband coupled with what her son, Henry, told her about shopping with a strange woman.
“Do you want me to put up a bold face? You would rather not see me smile, right?” Mr Dike asked in anger without looking at the wife's heart to see what she had in thought.
“Who did you go out with today?” Mr Dike was confused of the question his wife was asking. He paused for a moment without saying a word.
“You are quiet now just because of my question, right? You know what you had done, and also knew I had seen your true colour. You also knew that I have caught you red-handed undoubtedly", Mrs Dike was so sure of her words, but at the same time confusing her husband of those words of hers.
Mr Dike still kept mute trying to think of what his wife was saying. He thought deeply, without seeing reasons for his wife to talk and act that way.
"Honey!, he called out, but his wife wouldn't allow his to talk, instead intruded: “don't Honey me, please, just answer the questions I asked you and go straight to the point”, this time she was acting weird.
“But I did not go out with anyone except Henry, our son”, Mr Dike replied.
“Maybe you did not get me right”, she said as she called out to her son, Henry.
“Henry, can you come down here”, Mrs Dike yelled out.
Henry was afraid of his mother's call as it was unlike her.
“You have not called me this way before, mum? What's the problem?” Henry was shaking as he observed some unwanted look at his mother's face. His dad at the same time was somehow uncomfortable. He knew something was not right between his dad and mum. He could not figure it out but was just guessing.
“Where did you say you went to when you entered this afternoon?” Mrs Dike asked with an angry face.
“I told you we went for shopping”, Henry replied his mum.
“Fine, now who was with you guys right in the mall?” Mrs Dike did not hesitate to ask. Mr Dike raised his head and was waiting for his son's reply.
“I told you we were together with Miss Dammy".
“I think you have answered my question, Henry”,
“No mum, Miss Dammy is my English teacher in the school. We met her in the shopping mall when we got there. It was just a coincidence meeting her, and we only sat together just because I demanded that. It's not what I guess you are thinking, mum”, Henry said.
“Oh, so all these questioning were based on Miss Dammy that I knew nothing about? We have been married for the past 16 years and by now, you did not still trust your husband?”
“I'm sorry, Honey. You know I would rather not let any woman come close to you. I'm deeply sorry, and I promise I will not be jealous, but then I must keep my husband safe”, Mrs Dike apologize with a deep heart.
“Anyway, my smile was a surprise i got today. I received a mail of promotion in my working place. I can't cheat and will never cheat”, Mr Dike replied.
"My Honey, my Pillow, my Heroine ", Mrs Dike continued as they smiled together.
"Congrats tp you, my sweetheart", she replied.
