Not long ago I ran into a good friend of mine, we had a chat and he suggested that we should catch up, I agreed so we set a date and parted ways. Fast forward a week and me and the same friend are having a meal together, we have barely begun eating when his phone starts ringing none-stop, at first it seems like a normal husband and wife conversation, but then she begins texting him, his demeanor changes and he keeps lowering his voice for every call that he recieves, it seems as if his wife wants him to come home, so I tell him in a none-invasive way, if he got matters to tend to at home and he needs to go, I would understand, but he tells me that its alright and that his wife is just freaking out over the baby who's crying, mind you, the child is barely a year old and hes just going growing some teeth, besides he tells, his sister and her mother is with her, so she's not by herself.
But his wife won't stop calling, poor guy keeps answering every call, and at this point, I can sense that the atmosphere between them is getting a bit hostile, I can hear her shouting "is your stupid friend date more important than your family"
At this point, waan iska fahmay ariinta, and even though me and him had planned to stop by his house so I can meet his wife and child(I even bought some gifts for the child) I make up an excuse about how my brother wants me to help him with moving, and I tell him that we should reschedule and catch up another time ...there's no way in hell I'm gonna go see her after all that, I can only imagine how shes gonna be in person....besides I spoke to a mutual friend of ours who was meant to come see us that day, and he told me that she did the same thing to the poor guy last time the two of them met up to attend a meheer.
He's called me a couple of times since, wanting to meet up so we can discuss a business venture he wants to start back home....I keep coming up with lame execuses about not being available, and I think hes starting to sense that I'm avoiding him, but I'm actually not avoiding him, I'm just avoiding his control freak of a wife and her frantic calls.
Now, I'm old school, and I would never put up with a wife that bombards me with calls and texts every time I'm out socializing, waan cayriin laha iyada iyo cunguba. I feel bad for the guy, he's a hard working, god fearing brother with no balwad, she ought to count herself lucky instead of pestering the poor guy with calls.
