Najeera. In a major relationship gaffe, Sharon Namubiru, 29, blurted out the name of her ex-boyfriend last night when she was in a passionate union with Ivan Twine, 34, her husband for the last three years. This accidental but scandalous slip of tongue by the wife has reportedly put the relationship between the couple on the rocks even as the neighbours termed the situation as tense but under control.
“There appears something amiss. Usually Sharon would stand in the balcony and wave good-byes in the morning when Ivan leaves for office. Nothing of that sort happened today.”, observed Ms. Juliet, one of the neighbours residing in the opposite apartment block of the same housing estate
According to well placed sources, the couple were having a good time in the bed and passions were soaring high when Sharon, with closed eyes and clenched fists, moaned two fatal words “Oh Brian!”
“Shit! My eyes opened with a flash and my hands fell dead on the bed as soon as I realized what I had done.”, said a pensive and distressed Sharon, further recalling, “I tried my best to save the situation by clasping my arms around Ivan and smiling at him, as if appreciating what he was doing, but clearly he was in no mood of appreciation of what I had done.”
Sharon and Ivan have not been speaking to each other since the goof-up occurred last night
Showing admirable restraint, Ivan reportedly didn’t make a scene in the middle of the night and quietly slept off without any post-play. But tension was palpable in the air as the couple feigned sleep with their backs facing each other and eyes staring at the opposite walls of the bedroom.
“It was pretty much insulting and devastating.”, said a glum Ivan, whose usual warmth in the office was felt absent by almost everyone except his supervisor, who gave him a sermon on office etiquettes when he found Ivan logged into his facebook account as soon as the working hours began.
“I think he was checking profiles of all the people named Brian in his wife’s friends list when that fat man intruded.” said Ivan’s colleague and facebook expert Kasolo Dick, who was staring at Ivan’s computer screen while the boss (fat man) gave a dressing down to Ivan.
Talking exclusively to Kiwani Post, Ivan later conceded that he indeed was trying to find out details of the “Brian” his wife had remembered last night, in all probability Brian being his real name.
“I don’t know what I’d do with that, but I’m just curious.”, said a visibly confused and upset Ivan. “Maybe furious too.”, he added.
Meanwhile Sharon too had been grappling with the crisis and looking for help from whatever quarters she could manage. She even called a recently divorced “Love Guru” on some local FM channel, who advised her to come clean and tell her husband about her past affairs.
“What a jerk!”, Sharon said as she reckoned the Love Guru’s solution completely unhelpful, even though she accepted that Ivan had most probably guessed that she had a boyfriend nicknamed Brian and perhaps she would need to accept it sooner or later.
“But I don’t want to accept it. Did he tell me about his earlier relationships? I’m sure he must have had them too.” she said, exposing the delicate stage through which their relationship was going due to the last night’s gaffe.
Caught in this mess and inner turmoil, Sharon was seriously considering following the suggestion given by her best friend from school Janet, who suggested her to accept having a relationship with their schoolmate Brianna, who had been out of touch with almost all others for years now.
“Tell him that you are lesbian, no, bisexual, and this Brian is not any man but a woman named Brianna. I guess a man’s ego can take it easier than having to confront another man in his woman’s life, even if it was her past.”, argued Janet, who sounded convincing to Sharon.
