Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>For months, I lived a life of hide and seek. We both knew that my life was in danger. Yet, her faith in God and confidence in me was un-phased One morning, we had a serious difference of opinion.<\/p>\n

She was vehemently opposed to my taking a trip to Choma. It was as if she knew I would never come back not until 7 months. Her argument was that I had been unwell for two weeks, looked stressed and needed to give my body time to recover.<\/p>\n

I had to take the trip. It was important and urgent. It was a matter of life and death. yet I couldn\u2019t disclose more details to anyone to make them understand why I needed to go.<\/p>\n

I learnt early in life about the Abrahamic principal. It\u2019s an important aspect of marriage life: say little both to Isaac and Sarah about the sacrifice. This was my case.<\/p>\n

Imagine Abraham telling Sara and Isaac the whole account of who the sacrificial lamp was? Any, this is not about me or the Abrahams. It\u2019s a story about loyalty, love and sacrifice in relationships.<\/p>\n

I said my goodbye, see you even and left for Choma on 4th March 2021. We both didn\u2019t know it would be to the last goodbye as I would never be back 7 months down the line.<\/p>\n

In my absence, it meant that all the household bills were hers alone. In addition, my old mother who is technically my side chick, became her burden too.<\/p>\n

Two years before, I had my job contract prematurely cut. Politics. We did not have savings. I become completely dependant on her. I would lie if I said she ever woke up with a mood or treated me badly for her being the \u201cman\u201d of the house.<\/p>\n

She did her \u201ctraditional\u201d duties. I had breakfast in bed, lunch, dinner, clean clothes, literally everything we were taught in our culture. Once I was out and realized I would never come back home, depending on the election results of 2021, I told her the truth, everything to the coma.<\/p>\n

Her faith was astonishing. \u201cIt is well honey\u201d was her response. Even at work, or school, non of her friends ever detected they had a potential widow or single but married woman.<\/p>\n

Anyways, while to others love is a myth, to me love is real. I celebrate you today for your loyalty, love and faith. Please accept my small gift to you. This is from the bottom of my heart Shalom Mwiinde Phiri<\/p>\n
