MARRIED
EPISODE 11
One hour later, Andy was still in the sitting room. He had asked Ada to go for the day; he wanted to prepare dinner with his wife. He pulled  off  his  top and  put  it  on the  chair.  He  heard  the  doorbell  and went there, expecting to see Jess but when he opened the door, he saw someone else.
“Sonia”,  he  exclaimed.   “It  is  good  to  see   you.  Come  in”  he murmured. She was earlier than Jessie had said she would be.
“Hello Andy” she cooed. “It is really good to see you”. She eyed Andy stylishly as he closed the door. “Where is my friend?”
“She is at the saloon.  She should be here in a few minutes.” He picked up his shirt. “Please have your seat”
“Why don’t you leave it?” she asked.
“Leave what?”
“The  shirt”  she  held  the  shirt  in  his  hand.  “You  look  so  sexy.  I wonder what you saw in my S.U friend”
“Excuse me?” Andy was sure he was not hearing properly. She snatched the top in his hand and threw it. “I think you should leave” he murmured as she advanced towards him. She adjusted her top until the larger part of her chest was left open.
“I can give you what my friend can’t give”
“Well,   I  don’t   want   it.   Please  leave   before   I  harass   you.” Immediately he said this, she leapt on him, throwing him off balance. He fell on the chair with her on top of him.
“Bloody  hell”  he  gasped  out.  “Get  off  me”  he  roared  but  she would not bulge. He struggled and rose and turned until he was off the chair  and  she  was  sitting.  She  had  her  fingers  locked  around  his  belt buckle and as he tried to remove her hands, the door opened.
Jessica entered and gasped.

Andy  jerked  Sonia’s  hands away  with  so  much  force  that  her hands hurt. He stood up looking totally confused and alarmed.
“Jess,  it  is  not  what  you  think”  he  managed  to  put  the  words together though he was totally devastated and confused. Jessica was not sure she could hear anything that was being said.
The  scene  before  her  was  so  frightening  and  she  was  hearing  loud screaming in her head. She was not sure what was going on.
Sonia  adjusted  her  cloth  and  jumped  up.  “Yes,  it  is  what  you think Jessica. Your womanizing husband here was trying to rape me”
“What?” Andy’s head rotated.
Jess was just frozen to the spot.
“I came in looking for you and all of a sudden he grabbed me” she made a teary face.
“You are insane woman; what the hell is your game here?” Andy was roaring and he wished he could beat the living daylight out of the woman. He faced Jessica. “Jess, you have to trust me. I can never do this to you; never”
“Oh yeah? Then tell me, why did he contract you for a one year marriage then?” Jess gasped, now listening attentively. How did Sonia know? Andy was bewildered. “You did not want to marry the woman brought by your father because you can’t bear being tied to a woman. You like the idea of sampling every skirt that comes your way and that is why you chose gentle and unappealing Jessica, while you go on with your escapades with other girls”
“If  you don’t cut this bull shit, I surely would lay my hands on you”
“Oh,  just  like  you  were  about  doing  before  Jessica  entered?” Jessica felt this cold chill that would not go away. Her blood seemed to freeze. “Tell me, is that not the reason why you don’t stay in the house? You go out very early and come back very late using work as a pretense, is that not because you have concubines all over the country? You were with  a  woman  at  Convy  Hotel  some  days  back,  what  were  you  both doing? It must be the wild thing right?”
“What  is  all  these?  She  is  one  of  our  major  contractors”  Andy saw red at the infidelity accusation.
“Oh, really? I came majorly to talk with Jessica about this but it is no longer necessary. Now I see that Jessica has her eyes open and tries to dress appealingly so I would not be surprised if you have gotten into her pants already”. Andy did what he had never done before; he swung his hand and slapped Sonia’s face so hard.
Jessica could take no more; she turned and fled the house.
“Jess…  Jessica”  Andy  ran  after  her  with  his  heart  racing  with dread. He caught up with her and held her hand.
“Leave  my  hand”  she  yelled,  snatching  her  hand  forcefully.  He held her shoulders, forcing her to listen to him.
“Believe me Jess; I don’t know what is going on here. Sonia came and-”
“And  what?  Jumped  on  you?”  she  laughed  sarcastically.  “You know  what  Andy,  I  am  done”  the  tears  that  she  had  been  guarding against started coming and she started rubbing t hem away furiously. “I knew from the start that this was a huge mistake. Yesterday, last night, this  morning;  everything  was  a  huge  mistake.  A  stupid,  irredeemable mistake, but it is fine.”
“Jess please, don’t say that. Don’t do this” Andy pleaded and his heart bled when he saw her furiously wipe away her tears again.
“Don’t worry, I  would not do anything or take anything. The 20 million; I don’t need it”
“Jess…”
Jessica  started  walking   away,  and  then   started  running.  The waves  of  the  hair  she  had  just  curled  bounced  after  her.  Andy  was about to run after her when he remembered that Sonia was still in the house. The anger that bubbled in him was so intense that he charged into  the  house  smashing  the  flower  vase  that  stood  in  his  way.  He searched  the   entire  house  but   did  not   see  Sonia.  She   must  have sneaked out while they were arguing. He swallowed hard, still trying to come to terms with what had just occurred. For the first time in years, something  new  occurred  in  his  life  that  brought  joy  to  his  heart  and now,  it  was  shattered  before  it  even  begun.  He  grabbed  his  car  keys and his shirt and left in search of Jessica.

To be continued...
