“Alinichapa Juu ya Kuguza Simu Yake Akiwa Bafu” Kenyan Ladies Warned As Mercy Explains What She Saw “Utapangiwa Ujipate Nje”
My name is Mercy Wanjiru, and I never thought I would go through something so painful. I have always trusted my husband. I have never touched his phone, never checked his messages. I believed in giving him privacy. I thought that’s what a good wife does.
But slowly, I noticed he was different. He stopped showing me love like before. He used to call me sweet names, hold my hand, smile at me like I was the most important person in the world. Now, he avoided eye contact, came home late, and seemed distant. Something in my heart told me something was wrong.
One evening, I saw him put his phone on charge and walk to the bathroom. My heart was beating fast. I didn’t want to, but I felt like I had to know the truth. I picked up his phone. What I saw made my heart stop.
There were messages on WhatsApp between him and another woman. They were planning meetings, sending flirty messages, and even talking about how they could meet without me knowing. I felt like the ground had disappeared beneath me. I whispered to myself, “Kumbe walikuwa wamepanga waoane bila mimi kujua.” I couldn’t believe my eyes.
When he came back from the bathroom, I asked him calmly, “Why are you chatting with another woman like this?” He denied everything, he even hit me asking with a loud voice “Mercy, you are imagining things. That’s not true,” he said. But I could feel the lies in his voice. My heart was breaking, but I knew I had to act.
