Unbridled erotic adventure turns sour!

By Maxwell Perkins Kanemanyanga

When Tichaona’s father died his family thought it wise for him to follow the footsteps of his father. Tichaona was 20 years old when his father died. He had just finished his advanced levels and wanted to continue with his studies. Now there was no one to pay for his fees, no one to look after his mother, brothers and sisters. His late father was a solider who fought in the liberation struggle and later joined the government after independence. He was well respected, so it was easy for his son to join the army as well. He always wanted to be a lawyer but now fate had other ideas.

Tichaona submitted the certified photocopies of his birth certificate and educational qualifications. After two weeks he was invited for medicals which he passed. Now it was time to go for eighteen months’ training. His mother cooked rice and chicken for him and bid him farewell. He heard many stories about this training, how people died or got injured, but he was man enough. The first three months were really hard; there was not enough time to sleep and not enough food to eat. But as time ticked by he got more and more used to the system. Things became even spicier because he met a girl that he loved very much. Pamela was not exactly beautiful but she had an appetizing body. She was pretty; smart but her most valuable asset was her backside. It was neither big nor small.

Time flew without him noticing. He only realized when it was time for pass out that it was over. Pamela was always beside him, and by the time they finished their training they had made up their minds that they were going to get married.

Meet Lieutenant Sithole who was a brave and strict solider feared and respected in the whole camp. He was a merciless man. His main weakness was ladies. He could not keep his eyes away from women. Most solders in the camp knew this and they disliked him for it. There were rumors that he had affairs with some of their wives but there was just not enough proof for it. This camp was in the middle of two cities along a highway. The highway was about 20 km away from the camp but in the middle of a forest. One day Ltd Sithole was coming from the highway when he saw a group of people along the way to the camp. It was the custom to help people because the distance from the highway to the camp was too long. Although there were many people there, it was one young lady that captured his adulterous eye.

Meanwhile Tichaona went to see his uncle and told him about Pamela; and together with the other brothers of his late father they organized the marriage of Tichaona and Pamela. Pamela was welcomed into the family. Luckily for them they were posted to the same camp and it made things easier for them. There was a war in the neighboring country and they were sending peace keepers there. Most of the senior solders were not willing to go to this peace –keeping because an unacceptable number of their colleagues died there. So the army officials selected some recruits, and some experienced solders. Tichaona was very unlucky because he was among the new recruits selected. It was too early to leave his new wife behind but there was nothing he could do. He had to oblige with the law of the nation.

Lfd Sithole made his investigations and found out that this pretty young woman he was now enamoured with was married. This did not however stop him from trying his luck. He was anxiously waiting for the perfect moment. He had been in this game for a long time and he knew what to do to win a lady! One day he was coming from the city when he saw Pamela, the lady in question, standing on the highway. He stopped the car and waited for her to come. She tried to open the back door but it was locked. He opened the front door and gestured for her to come in. Pamela came and sat beside her boss. That is what the man wanted and planned.

This was step number one. They drove off quietly because there was nothing to say. The LFT then started to ask her some questions including her name, where she came from and so on. Along the way he pretended to be concentrating too much and as he was changing his gears he touched Pamela’s hip. Pamela moved her leg further away and he apologized as if he didn’t know what he was doing. He knew it was just a matter of time…

One day the Lieutenant called her (Pamela) to his office and gave her a job to do. Pamela was still young and rather inexperienced in this game. With her husband, Tichaona away on military assignment it was very tempting to have an affair with her boss. Things were tough and she could get some favors and some cash from this man but she knew she had to play her game carefully and secretly. That was how the whole affair started. Pamela failed to bear in mind that most soldiers knew this man and his shameful reputation. It did not take them long to figure out that there was something going on here.

In this camp there was a soldier who came from the same village with Tichaona. He knew the late father of Tichaona and he treated him just like his own son. He did not like what was going on and was not going to let it go like this. After six months Tichaona was given a break to go home. Pamela was very happy to see her husband again but in her heart she felt guilty.

Tichaona knew nothing and has been waiting for this moment for a long time, excited. His neighbor was happy to see him and was going to use this chance to talk to him. He invited Tichaona to his home. When the two men were alone in the room he started his story. “Tichaona your father was my best friend. You are just like a son to me. I don’t want to see you suffer. I am going to tell you something and it is not good news. I want you to be strong and be man enough. You must hold your emotions and nerves. Your wife is cheating on you with Lft Sithole. I know this is too much for you but I had to tell you.”

Tichaona was not ready for this. He had been really excited to be home but now he wished he had never been born. He was shocked, dizzy and traumatized. Why did it have to be him? He trusted his father’s friend; he could not lie to him. When the man went to the toilet, Tichaona went outside and sat on top of a rock in front of the yard holding his head. Who could he share this bad news with? He finally decided to take the bus to the village to see his mother’s brother. Upon his arrival his uncle knew there was something terribly wrong.

Tichaona could not even put a smile on his face as he used to do. Tichaona did not waste time; he narrated the whole story to his uncle. Seeing that the young man was in pain the uncle asked him to follow him. They went to see one of his friends who knew how to punish people who run after other people’s wives. The uncle narrated the story to his friend. “So son what do you want me to do to this man your boss?”

Tichaona looked at his uncle and then said, his voice filled with anguish “I want to catch them in action.” The man disappeared into another room and came back after twenty minutes with a knife in his hand. “Take this knife, when you reach home put it somewhere in the house. When your wife comes, tell her to give it to you. By locking this knife she will be locking herself…that’s African ‘juju’ and justice for you.” Tichaona thanked the old man and they left. He didn’t waste time to take the bus back to town.

By sunset he was back home in the camp. He did what the man said he must do and the unsuspecting wife obliged, not knowing that she was “locking herself”. The following morning Tichaona told his wife that he was going to see his mother and he would come back after a week.

The two lovers had been waiting for this chance for a long time. During the same night that Tichaona left the two lovers went to their love nest. They locked themselves in each other’s arms. Within seconds they were both naked. In the next ten minutes they were in their own world. A world where Tichaona and the Lft’s own legitimate wife would never be welcome! After the session, the Lft rested a bit on top of his mistress. Then it was time to disengage. The LFt could not take his manhood out of the mistress. Both of them were necked and tied together like dogs do after intercourse. Panic gripped them but it became even worse. What could they do to fight this nightmare? Nothing! What horror!!! Nor could they call for help as they were committing adultery…
