A little while later grandmother came out to hear what Grandmother had to say to her.
“Oh hello Peter, how are you?” Grandmother greeted him.
“Am fine how are you grandma?”
“Am fine my dear”
“Yes you called for me” granny said to grandfather.
“Yes I called for you.” Grandpa said.
“Let me just meet my other cousins inside” Peter said leaving them.
“Okay, I will join you shortly” said granny.
Peter left grandmother and grandfather there as he went into the house.
“Sit down, i need to tell you something” grandfather said to grandma.
“Okay, is everything okay?” Granny asked as she sat down.
“Yes it’s about Peter and Tamarah.”
“What about them?”
“I smell something fishy about them.”
“Like what?”
“They could be having a secret relationship”
“Are you even listening to yourself?”
“Am telling you what i suspect and am not comfortable with it”
“Peter and Tamarah are blood cousins. They are more like a brother and sister. Nothing can happen between them”
“But are they fond of each other this much?”
“Have you forgotten that they grew up together? They are childhood friends no wonder they have such a strong bond.”
“If someone can sleep with his blood sister, what more cousins? Anything is possible these days. Incest is real. We just have to be vigilant so that this vice doesn’t fall on our family”
“Yeah you are right but you have got all wrong on them.”
“Yes you might say my instincts have misled me but if you saw how they hugged, how he held her waist, how she held his neck you would have understood what i am talking about. If not for my presence they would have kissed looking at the way they looked at each other.”
“Mmmmmm this old man is just too much”
“No, i have grown calculating risks as a banker so i know what I am talking about.”
“Anyway, is that why you called me?”
“Oh no, before Peter came, i received a call from my doctor saying that I should go to the hospital tomorrow for my kidney checkup.” “Oh okay.”
“Yes, I wanted you to know”
“Okay we will prepare. Let me just see these kids inside”
“Okay see you”
Peter spent sometime there before he bade farewell to his grandparents.
“Don’t forget what I have told you” grandfather said to him.
“No, i won’t forget” he said.
As he went to his vehicle, Tamarah came and escorted him. After chatting for sometime they hugged and he got into his vehicle.
Peter drove off while Tamarah came back to the house. She passed by grandmother and grandfather who were watching her going into the house.
“Do you what i was telling you about? What kind of fondness for each other is
this?” Grandfather asked.
“Mmmmm you are just too much”
“Am too much? When they impregnate each other, you won’t have peace at this place. Mark my words” grandfather said entering the house.
“You won’t have peace at this place” grandmother mimicked grandfather in a teasing voice.

Peter got home and found his kids watching television.
“Welcome dad”
“Thank you guys. Where is mummy?”
“She is in the kitchen”
“Okay, i will join soon” he said going to the bedroom.
Peter sat in the living room watching cartoons with his kids while Fostinah continued preparing dinner.
When food was ready, she came and invited all to the meal. They all ate the meal peacefully though Peter and Fostinah didn’t talk to each other yet. Peter then bade goodnight to his kids and went to the bedroom.
He lay in bed reading some stories on Mphandika’s Premium Scribbles whatsapp group. He was so absorbed in the story when the door to the bedroom opened up and Fostinah walked in. He didn’t pay much attention to her as he went on reading the story. He finally finished reading the episodes and went through the comments by group members which were upbuilding and educative.
Just then Fostinah came and sat next to him on the bed. Peter put down his phone and looked at her. Fostinah first gave a deep breath out.
“Sweetie, am sorry for hurting you last night. I didn’t mean to really hurt you. Am sorry” fostinah said to him.
Peter didn’t say anything but wondered his eyes around the room.
“If you don’t forgive me, i won’t blame you. I was so stupid.” Fostinah said sincerely.
“It’s okay. We all make mistakes”
“Thank you. Can we talk now about our relationship in this marriage?”
“Yeah sure”
“Peter, you are a good man and am sure you have expectations from me. There things which I have been doing wrongly, please tell me what you would like to change.” She said.
Peter also gave a deep breath out before saying anything. He looked at her intently without saying anything.
“Fostinah, you are beautiful and a great mother to our children but I feel you need to change certain traits” he said.
“Please tell me and I will try my best to change”
“Firstly, it’s about your salary. Your salary is supposed to supplement my efforts unlike what you do, spending it yourself on your personal things.” “So, you mean I should be giving you my salary?” She asked calmly.
“No, what I mean is, if it’s okay with you, we could be putting together our salaries and then budget. That way, we will thrive and do more”
Fostinah remembered what Chabota said. That is exactly the method her friend was using and it helped them to thrive.
“Okay, am really sorry for that. I have now realised how heartless i have been. We will do that starting this month” she said.
“Thank you. And one more thing, you starve me a lot here intimate wise. Your rule of twice a week is not helping me. I remain starved for five days in a week. I wish you could reconsider that. And denying me intimacy as punishment isn’t helping at all” he said.
“Okay, for the sake of our marriage, i will improve on that. Actually I won’t give you any restrictions on that.” She said.
Peter was failing to believe that fostinah was real and not acting because it was rare for her to support and accept his ideas.
“And I will pay you back the money I borrowed from you. I am sorry” he said. “Really?”
“Yes, i will surely pay you”
“Okay, but since any money belonging to either of us is our, that money is for the both of us. So you don’t need to pay back” she said. “What?”
“Yes, don’t pay me back”
“But that was a debt”
“Which we borrowed and used the two of us”
“Thank you Fostinah. Now tell me where you want me to improve” he asked. “Cheating. Your cheating really affects my way I do things with you. It pains me so that why I usually do what I do. What is it that I am not doing which other ladies do so that you can stay with me alone?” She asked.
“Am sorry. It’s just that I was feeling starved and unwanted. I was like a burden to you. So to reduce bothering tou that’s why I was going out” he said. “Okay, if I change would you stay with me only?”
“Yes”
“I will change now.”
“That will be better. And let me thank you for being this open and understanding today. If we usually talked like this, we would have been very far.” “Am grateful too for your understanding”
Fostinah then bent in giving him a peck on his lips. After kissing him, a message tone came on Peter’s phone. He turned the phone to check it and they both looked at it. A message popped up on the screen and it read: “HEY, BABE, ARE YOU SLEEPING ALREADY?”
