Two Slaps

I had this friend who I called uncle while I was in primary school. He often bought me junk foods whenever he returned from class. He was a student at a close university.

I ran errands for him and I don't miss a mouth watering reward afterwards. He was also friendly to everyone but he was my uncle (I called him uncle), so we were much closer.

Returning from school one day, I walked along the usual path I use while going and returning from school. On this day I decided to wave my friend (uncle) and maybe he would bless the day.

I was heading for the door when I heard sobbing sounds inside. Out of curiosity, I stretched and opened the window blinds, and there was my uncle with a female guest. They were bare.

Adrenaline pumped through my blood immediately and I was confused on what to do. I dashed out and continued my walk home, thinking of who to tell first about what I saw.

I was almost home when I saw my uncle, I don't know how he did it, but he was approaching me, he must have taken a shortcut and intercepted me.

The look on his face was terror as he shouted at me and asked angrily why I opened his window. He struck my face twice and instructed that no one heard of what I saw.

With teary face, I returned home and everyone gathered, my face was swollen. I couldn't have said a word but on a second thought, I spilled the whole gist.

A week later, he moved out, my uncle moved out. Guess he couldn't bear the shame any longer. I didn't feel it though because I cut off the friendship instantly after the first slap.
