ENTANGLEMENT 5

Muna and Jennifer were at home this day, Jennifer was amending her clothes with a thread and a needle while Muna was with her phone chatting and also giggling, Jennifer would stare at her wondering what was making her seem excited, she didn’t hesitate to ask.

“I wonder what is thrilling you” Muna did not respond, she was so engrossed with what she was doing “Muna!” Jennifer called for her attention “ Who is making you blush like this?”

“Was that why you shouted my name like that, please it's none of your business”

“I just hope it’s not Khalid”

“And what if he’s the one?”

“He shouldn’t be the one and you know that, he is married for crying out loud”

“He is married for crying out loud” Muna mimicked Jennifer “like I didn’t know that before, please leave me alone”

“I must confess, I’m surprised, I’m surprised that you would allow yourself to get attracted to him”

“You don’t understand”

“Understand what?”

“You don’t understand how it feels talking with him, he is such a sweet man, nice caring, interesting, he’s just everything” She reacted to words as she spoke

“And he’s married” Jennifer interrupted, which made Muna stare at her with annoyance

“Stop it Jenny”

“Listen Muna, you need to be careful, you are falling too hard for him and it's not good for you”

“I know right, but mehn, he makes me feel good”

“So you are already having sex with him” Muna looked at Jennifer, she was surprised at the statement she made “You know you can tell me right, are you having sex with him?”

“Not yet” She answered

“Not yet huh? Meaning you will soon right?”

“Jennifer!” Muna felt a little embarrassed

“What is it?”

“You don’t understand how things are with Khalid and I”

“What don’t I understand? Is it the part of where you are falling for him or where you will soon have sex with a married man?”

“Hey Jenny, don’t judge me, Khalid and I are just good friends”

“You can call it whatever you like, but just know that you need to be careful, so you won’t be the one to lose, he can never be yours, he is taken, never forget that” Jennifer stood and walked out of the room

Muna pondered over what Jennifer said before she left, she agreed that all Jennifer told her was true but was difficult to accept. It’s been a month of knowing Khalid and they happened to get really close has time went by, they would chat all day and night, they would have deep conversations that made them get used to each other

Khalid liked her a lot, she seemed to know what to do and what to say every time just to make him happy, she became someone he shared his thoughts with, someone he never feels bored talking to, someone he always looked forward to seeing. Khalid loved and respected his wife, no doubt about that, but the way he feels about Muna was a different kind of feeling, he admired her strength and ability to pull through any circumstances, she was also the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.

Muna has been a lonely girl when it comes to romance, it has been a long time she got attention from any man, Khalid seemed to have shown her another kind of affection, he was a great companion, it was just so sad that they couldn’t be more than friends even though she wanted more from the relationship that existed between them.

Still deep in thought, Muna got distracted at the sound of her phone ringing, It was Khalid

“Hello” She said with her always gentle voice

“Hey babe, what’s up, you are no longer responding, you got busy?”

“Not really, Jenny needed my attention to something”

“Hope no issue?”

“Nope, she’s gone already”

“Alright”

“Why are you calling me while at home?”

“I love talking to you, so I’ll call when I feel the need to, besides I just stepped out of the house, I have something to tell you”

“Okay, I’m listening”

“A friend of mine will be having his wedding in Abuja in two weeks time, so I was hoping you won’t mind coming along with me, we’d lodge and just be together, you have always wanted us to have some time together and I feel this will be a perfect opportunity, or what do you think?” He spoke, meanwhile Muna was so excited, she was only waiting for him to finish talking so she could express her excitement

“Really, wow, this is awesome!” she exclaimed

“You like the idea?”

“Yeah I do, oh my God, I honestly can’t wait, It’s been a while I attended a wedding”

“Well I’m glad you like it, we will talk about how we’ll go about it before then, okay”

“Alright Khalid, I’m sure it’s going to be a splendid experience”

“Sure babe, let’s keep chatting, I have to step back into the house”

“Alright, I’ll text you”

The call went off, Muna smiled and took a deep breathe, the information Khalid gave to her just made her day, a weekend with him was what she craved for.
