CHAPTER 86: ARGUMENT 2

After having supper with her daughter,Mrs Mukhongo went to bedroom. She was seated on bed waiting for her husband.

She had made her mind about it,she needed to confront him. Yes, it's a high time she did that. Many things have been happening under her nose. Many of which she kept quite for the sake of her marriage, for the sake of her daughter and lastly for the sake of Ivana who had no one else besides them and her husband.

She wanted her daughter and Ivana to know that marriage is still good despite the challenges she was facing. But now, she is ready, ready to break it up for the sake of Ivana. She doesn't deserve what her husband has done to her.

'All this time l have been living with an ingrate who's vacious plan are those of the beast's she thought. Suddenly the bedroom door was opened and she knew perfect we'll who was coming in, her husband.

"Why are you still up, you missed me right?" he asked. Although he was tips,he was still in his right sense.

"I was waiting for you, dear husband"

"Is that so? Now that l am here we can go to bed"

"Not so fast dear husband, will you please explain what is this?"

She pulled out the documents that Mr Mukhongo recognized them instantly. Her hands were shaking as she lifted the paper in his face. Mr Mukhongo was surprised as he stepped back to have a clear view of the paper. He couldn't believe it, that someone else was able to retrieve the papers he have been hiding.

He froze as he stared with wide eyes on the papers his wife was holding. 'l can't allow it to happen, not just yet' he thought.

"Now dear husband, do you care to explain why you hid these from the responsible person?"

"What are you talking about Eliza? Who is the responsible person?"

"Never mind, l should have given these to Ivana in the afternoon. I think l made a mistake of waiting to confront you. Tomorrow l will be taking them to her, l can't wait to see you rote in jail, Steve. How could you do this to her?"

"Those papers won't get out of this house, you hear me. Hand them over to me, Eliza don't wait my patience"

"Over my dead body', steve Ivana have to know about this, even Mish.

Mrs Mukhongo made her way to the door but,she didn't get to it as his husband stood in front of her and pulled out a gun.

"Over your dead body' right? Then l will have to kill you if that's the case. Just hand me the papers in peace, then we will talk about it peacefully" He tried talking calmly so that to convince her but his voice was betraying him. Anger was still present in his voice and he was still pointing a gun at her.

Mrs Mukhongo was contemplating on what to do,she wanted to snatch that gun, or atleast to get hold of it and points it upwards and fires all the bullets out. 'That is the only way out, by doing that l can get out of the room' she thought.

Knowing that she was destructed he jumped on her withthe aim of snatching the documents out of her hands. They ended up falling on the bed, with him on top, Mrs Mukhongo overpowered him and untoppled him. She was not able to get away because her husband Mr Mukhongo was holding her cloth tight with other hand.

He was so strong and to get his hand off required the strength of her two hands. The hands that holds the documents.

Accidentally the trigger was pulled and the blood oozed out of her stomach making her fall on his side on the bed as she breathed her last.

"No no,noo! What have l done, what have l done?l have murdered her, this can't be noo. His hands were shaking as he looked at his own hands covered with blood.

"Wake up you can't do this to me, please wake up! he cried out on her lifeless body. Shaking it vigorously, he was still in denial. 

The gun that was meant for something else has caused the death of his wife. If only he know that this will be the outcome he shouldn't have taken the gun from her.

Back in the club oval after an embarrasment encounter with the politician he wanted to convince. So that he can invest in the Luhyahood Company. After having a final drink,Mrs Wechuli had handed him the gun for the safety purpose on his way home.

Knowing how politicians operate, she thought that he might send his bodyguard for assassinating him. He might protect himself with a gun, that was the wrong choice he made.

He picked the documents from her hands and kept them. He picked his phone and dialed Mrs Wechuli's number, she was not picking for three times.

"What do l do? What do l do now?" he mumbled to himself.

He raked his hand through his hair, silently exhaling heavy sigh. He went to the bedroom and cleaned his hands then picked the towel. He picked the gun from the bed where he left it cleaned it then placed it into her hands.

After everything was in place, he descended the stairs pretending that he was shocked with what he had seen in the bedroom. He banged Mish's door waking her from deep slumber.

Mish opened the door, she was astonished to see his father at her bedroom door with an experated look. Experation was written all over his face, unable to speak he pointed toward their bedroom.

"What's wrong dad?why are you pointing that side?what happened?" .Unable to understand she thought that her mother has refused to open the bedroom door for him.

She walked barefooted,still in her pajamas towards her parents bedroom. 

"Mum will you please open up for him,you guys should not be involving me in this. Mum open up and solve like the couple you are" she  continuously knocked on the door.

Her dad moved her slightly beside then opened the door as he wiped the tears away from his eyes.
