The Wife's Maids

       And now here she was alone with her two children. She had taken another young maid to take care of their newly bought home.She thought to herself that the maid was quite sexually attractive, and if her husband was here, he be having an affair with this one again. She hated him in her heart, why was he such  a maniac. Probably even if she dresses a wooden post like a girl, he would still go for it.
       Her first maid had eloped with a lover, and she had taken this one, praying she stay put. She was industrious and seemed to be innocent and harmless. She remembered the maid in her former home with whom that her husband had an affair. She too was industrious, young and sexually attractive and she had come to love that girl. She cannot believed it that she would fall for her husband. Her husband had reasoned with her that he too had grown to love that young maid and did not want her to be taken by any other household or any man. Stating that it would be a waste if they loss her. And she had quarreled the maid and even pulled her hair. The young maid had left in shame which broke her husbands heart. He had then been very quiet  ever since, like a boy who lost his favorite toy. And she had seen him several times after that with tears rolling down his eyes And she had given him the finally too...to teach him a hard lesson.
      She remembered he had reasoned with her that no maid would stay in their house, since everyone wanted to have their own husband and  family too. And by the way her first maid had left eloping, it seemed to suggest that he was speaking the truth. And she remembered too that how he said that no maid would give her loyalty to a house that she is a stranger- a family that she has no relation with. He had said that in the first wave society, maid that were made into a wife by a husband were called concubines.She had reasoned that such a practiced was not allowed now.  But he had said that what is true and right would sooner or later be discovered by people, and they would practiced them again like in the days of old.  With the ancient is wisdom, he said.
