“Mummy, every time you leave for work, Daddy always brings out one woman to drink from a small red cup.”

66

Right before my eyes was my husband, handing a red cup that contained his urine to a woman clad in a red robe. She sat on our bed… our matrimonial; she had very long hair that covered almost her entire face. They were both backing the door.

The moment she collected the red cup from him, she lifted it to her mouth. She was about to sip the urine but abruptly stopped, her hand ceased mid air. Then suddenly, I saw her head turning towards my direction.

But like a flash, she turned back almost immediately and drank the whole content from the cup. I gasped. I was lucky she didn’t see me.

What the hell was going on here? A thousand and one thoughts clouded my mind. I wanted to scream… I wanted to leave the door, I wanted to go into that room and chase that woman away…

I wanted to know why Rufus would bring a strange woman into our house, not just our house.

He brought her inside our bedroom to drink his urine. I was so infuriated. In a bid to adjust my posture, my elbow hit the door.

“Who is there?” That was my husband’s voice. A sudden surge of fear grabbed me and I didn’t realise when I started running. I didn’t know where I was heading to, but I knew I was running.

It felt like my heart was exploding inside my chest. Behind me, I heard the bedroom door flung open. I couldn’t dare look back, but I knew someone was chasing after me.

When I got to the sitting room, I was trying to unlock the door when I felt an abrupt pull from behind. “Rebecca, why are you running?” Rufus said immediately he grabbed me. “Leave me alone!” I yelled, trying to catch my breath.

“Who is that woman inside our bedroom? And what’s she doing here?”

Rufus gave a confused look like he didn’t know what I was saying. “Which woman are you talking about?” He asked back, feigning ignorance.

“Who? Where?”

“Rufus, I know what I saw… She wore a red robe… she was…”

“Rebecca, when did you start hallucinating?” He abruptly cut in. “There’s no one inside our room.”

“Stop playing with my intelligence!” I shouted.

“I said I know what I saw inside there.”

“Are you high or something?” He asked. “If you don’t believe me then you can go and confirm for yourself.”

Then he held my hands and pulled me to the room, and to my utmost surprise, the woman was nowhere to be found. I checked the bathroom, she wasn’t there.
