Loving Pezo - Season 1 - Episode 54

Pezo: What did you think Joe- that I was some cheap w---e whom you could just satisfy yourself
with and just throw away as you wished? No- Joe- Am different-am strong!!! No matter how much
you intended to destroy this lady’s life- : it ain’t gonna happen.

Mr. Mitti was speechless and as he tried to speak, Pezo just pushed him as she was letting go of
his shirt and he helplessly fell on the couch.

Pezo: You might have gotten what you wanted from me Joe- taking advantage of the much
genuine love and care I had for you. But I swear, you shall never see peace or love in your
relationships Joe. Because you had me disrespect my parents and made me believe our love was
mutual- you shall never be respected in any society you live.

Joe: Pezo
Pezo: Do- not touch me Joe- and don’t think there are any words you can say to convince me that
your actions were justified. ( raising her voice) you had no right whatsoever to hurt me Joe
Just at that moment- his young brother and two other women appeared from the bedroom all
seeming somewhat shocked that there was someone else in the house at that hour of the
morning.

Woman 1: (conversing in bemba) what is going on here. Lady- who are you?
Austen: bro what is going on here? Who is she?

Joe: (trying to act all innocent) Pezo here had an urgent issue she wanted me to attend to but she
was about to leave
Once more…and this time not realising she did it- she slapped him on the same side of his cheek
she had it on and immediately both women went after Pezo to stop her while Austen quickly went
to hold his brother.

Woman: (still conversing in bemba) my child, mind what you are doing… this is someone’s
husband and you ought to respect him

Pezo: (English) I do not care Amai- no person would respect a man who chose to be with another
woman on his supposed matrimonial bed the night before his ceremony.

All became shocked with both women covering their mouths.

Pezo: (facing both women) am so sorry elders I had to react this way. But for a man who does not
want to recognise his wrong and still want to pretend he is pure- it should not be tolerated. I really
pity woman who by nw should proudly be calling herself your wife. Because to be honest… no
woman deserves a man as evil as him (she ended with an accusing finger at him)
With those words, she left. Mr. Mitti could not contain the embarrassment that enveloped him.

The worst part was that the two women were from Matimba’s side and they only slept over because he
felt taking them to Matero after everything was late and so they were supposed to be dropped that
women. The two women never even hid their dissapointment and in his presence they already
sympathised with Pezo but more than than- confirmed that she wasn’t a prostitute but a well
cultured child seeming to be coming from well to do family.

It was very clear that- Mr. Mitti just took advantage of the innocent young lady. The women dita
step the whole incident to a level that they both opted to leave his place without a meal or anything
from him. Mr. Mitti feared for what would happen next. These were Matimba’s extended family and
he prayed he would not end up losing Matimba too. As for Austen, he very well knew that his
brother never loved Matimba but never expected this kind of behaviour from him. He was equally
at loss with words

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Pezo felt a little releaved after what she just did. She somehow convinced herself that Mr. Mitti
never deserved her tears afterall. It was only bad that through this one mistake, she lost so much
that she could never replace in her womanhood. Mr. Mitti had robbed her of her most precious
thing she so cherished and that was the one thing that hurt her the most. She didnt know how she
was going to approach life anymore. She felt so agly within herself and dirty too. All her life.. she
had learnt how to keep herself pure from the sin of sex before marriage. Its in their culture that
every girl who comes of age is given women (if not grandparents) to be spoken to in terms of how
they need to value themselves. How so many temptations will come their way yet they need to be
patient. This process was not ignored on the part of Pezo and even after her parents made sure
this was done- her mother was always free to talk to her child about all these things. She had
grown up to be such a pure and respected girl up until the appearance of Mr. Mitti who was like an
enemy who just came to kill and destroy what she treasured most. That is why it hurt her the most.

That is why she always cried whenever she remembered all that. There was no way of fixing it
and she just had to deal with the pain for now
Pezo would swear she was dreaming if asked how Mr. Mitti’s love seemed so magical just the same way she couldn’t understand how deep the love she felt for him was. As she sat in her car
helpless in all her being- she didnt think of any next steps but only to be before the presence of
God in his temple. She was the fist to enter the church even as it was being opened. Believing in
His device mercy and presence as she knelt before God’s alter- she poured out to Him. Asking for
His mercy, His forgiveness and His anointing upon her. By the time people were entering the
church for the early morning mass she felt much lighter and was able to participate in the holy
celebration of mass.
