{UAH} Sunday leisure.

People,

 

I recently had this rare chance of bumping into an old friend who was for long a comrade in arms in spreading happiness. This guy was the limit. But as fate would have it, he had met his match. A lady would never take no for an answer nor accept our notorious "RED CARDS".

Surprisingly she was for long, our very good friend and but with benefits.  Despite knowing a hell lot about our adventurous escapades that can only be equal to our one and only GOPO, the serial divorcee she was a faithful friend. Despite our broke asses she enjoyed our company many a time stepping in with help with our financial woes. We were always broke.

She was born into a well-connected family as a matter of fact her father was one of the "Luwero bandits" and a Brigadier. What a father he was! I am not sure when and why she had decided that one of us was going to be her other half till death do part us but that is when HELL broke loose. She had settled on my friend.

Suddenly our lives changed. She started dictating terms. For the first time we were prisoners of our own ways. First she told me in unequivocal terms that I had either to get ONE other half or stop friendship with my best friend because she had taken over his love life declaring any other of the fair sex persona non grata! It was certainly one of the most difficult times of our lives.

He had been my roommate since compass.. I decided that I had to leave him and his other half in peace. There was no way I was going to stop spreading happiness. That would have been a very selfish act because why would I have to make one person miserable when I could do well in making very many happy?

Anyway, we sat down after soooo many years and wanted to know what happened, whether he was still married. There was so much to talk about that it was time that did us in.

We recalled one particular day. My friend really had no choice eventually and decided to give marriage a try. I was his best man. On the kasiki day he had decided to say "good bye" to one of his ex's. We ended up in one of the nite clubs till the wee hours. I will skip what happened there after but we woke up rather late. In fact we got to church 30 minutes late sweating like hell.

Folks habits die hard.  He never changed one bit. Several months later she parked all her belongings and left.  He was fed up .She had become a control freak. He was allowed to talk to only approved women who turned out to be ONLY her friends. She later discovered that he had messed with all of them. It was then that she parked her stuff and left.

I convinced him that we had to go and try to get her back. When we got there, very early Sunday morning, his father in law opened for us. It was evident that he had probably slept in the couch. Little did we know that he was a photo copy of us. We had expected to be scolded but lo! We were pleasantly surprised when he told us that women had gone crazy and asked us to come along with him.

We ended up in one brothel were he told us to have fun. His wife, our mother in-law, was also fed up of his "spreading happiness" ways and had kicked him out of their matrimonial bedroom.

Anyway to cut a long story short, my friend is still happily married to her with his first born now a banker somewhere in London. On whether he changed his ways , I doubt.
