I spent the last couple of months away from home, taking care of my sick mother. All I knew during that period were sleepless nights, bland cafeteria food, occasional hospital chair naps, and a lot of worry.
When mom finally started feeling better and it was about time I get back home, I felt relieved. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to have coffee in my kitchen, sleep in my bed, and see my husband, Michael.
However, shortly after I returned home, I received a huge surprise that almost turned my world upside down.
I entered my apartment and took a long shower, but that’s when I heard the front door open.
Wrapped in a towel, I rushed downstairs and that’s when I saw a gorgeous young woman holding the key to my home.
“Who are you?” she asked me the moment she saw me.
“Who am I!? I live here. The question is who are YOU and why do you have a key to my apartment,” I asked, confused and worried.
She was obviously puzzled. “Well, Michael gave it to me,” she said.
“Oh, did he?” I said, my voice unusually calm. “Because I—his WIFE—am back, and that is definitely news to me.”
“His wife!? But he told me he was single,” the woman whispered.
And just as she wanted to leave, I told her to stop and invited her to the kitchen where Michael was having his coffee.
I was about to learn what was really going on and what he was doing while I was gone.
When we stepped food in the kitchen, the woman looked at Michael and asked, “Who is this?”
Well, that’s Michael, my husband.
Michael was looking at both of us, surely aware something odd was going on.
At that moment, the woman took her phone out and showed a photo, saying, “This is Michael.”
Well, we finally learned what was really going on. The photo was of Nick, Michael’s brother who somehow always found himself in trouble.
Michael smiled, although deep down he was mad at his brother. “That’s why Nick was so interested about my work schedule during the last couple of months,” he said.
The three of us decided to teach Nick a lesson. So, Michael called him and told him we were waiting for him for dinner. “I’ll be there in 20,” he said.
But when he knocked on the door, it was the woman, who introduced herself as Sonya, who opened the door.
As expected, Nick knew he was busted.
When we asked him why he did what he did he said the dating expenses were too big nowadays and we were not around our apartment much anyways.
Well, Sonya decided to give him another chance as long as he didn’t lie to her ever again. As of my husband, he joked with Nick that he was paying our rent for the month, making his promise he won’t give our apartment key to anyone else.
