He knew he shouldn't feed his thought about her, his head just seemed to have a mind of it's own.
Some days, he found himself comparing Linda to his wife and having to ask himself over and over if he made the right choice.
'Boy I need help!' he exclaimed out loudly to the hearing of his wife as they sat in the living room together.
'Need help for what?' Sarah asked.
'No its nothing, its just work related.' he lied.
'Ugo,' she called out gently, we have been married for six years now and you think I wouldn't know when you are lying or when something is bothering you?' She asked.
Ugo opened his mouth in shock. He thought he was doing a great job at concealing his feelings. He was wrong. She could see through him but he still wasn't sure how he was going to tell her and worse still what her response would be.
What should he do? He thought to himself
'And I also know that I'm not the only friend you have or love to talk with' she continued 'that's why there's Ola and Patrick there for you in case you need to speak, don't bottle things up seek help when you need to.' she added.
Ola and Patrick were Ugo's best friends at least until she came along and she knew they still maintained that bound. Ola was more mature probably because of his age so Ugo found it easier to talk with him instead.
'But if it is about throwing a surprise birthday party for me that's weighing you down' she said smiling, 'Then my Bukola would be your contact' she giggled at him.
He had completely forgotten about his wife's birthday coming up in two weeks time.
Wow!!!! This is not good' he chided himself mentally.
He smiled outwardly to his wifey but inwardly he was confused.
'I know that look Macho! Its a surprise birthday party but you are not telling' she smiled at Ugo.
'Lips sealed' Ugo responded feigning excitement.
He took a glass of water and picked up his car keys from the table.
'I'll be back soon' he said and pecked his wife on the cheek.
He headed for the door. He needed help and he needed it badly...
Sarah watched him drive away and knew something was wrong. She had to find a way to get it out, or better still a way to solve the mystery.
'But what can I do? She reasoned.
