A Secret Affair: A Conversation

Woman: I love you, but I cannot let them know that I do. My desire is for you to succeed in your dream, as I did. I will help you achieve it on the same way that I achieved mine. But I should not be seen by them. I cannot expose myself to them. You will be scorned as I am now.

Man: You knew all along that my heart is with you. Remember the day that I have done my all to place you where you were for the last ten years. You have achieved your dream, and I did what needs to be done for myself for the last years.

Woman: But you were with them against me from time to time, if I remember correctly?

Man: Yes but I did it as a smokescreen my dear. I should appear to be with them from time to time, so that I know their every move. Everything that I did which may appear to be against you was actually for your benefit. You should have an ally within the ranks of your enemies.

Woman: I understand. That is why I should return the favor now. I will help you. But you should promise me that once you sit in this chair that I sat for the last ten years you would still remember me. You would care for me, and always put in your mind what I have done for you, and what I intend to do a few days from now to insure that you achieve your dream.

Man: How about your anointed my love? He already painted your world with the fresh green mint. My oranges would be of no consequence to your loyal servants.

Woman: Never worry. He knows what is going on. He will get his share of the pie at the end of the day. He is a loyal pawn, and he is willing to be sacrificed in my name.

Man: And the yellow corn that people appear to love more than my oranges?

Woman: Oh do not be weary! It will be out of season soon. Besides, I still hold the key to all milling stations all through out the land. I control the millers, I have appointed them, and they will do as I told.

Man: My love! I envy how you move things around. I will need your wisdom as I go along.

Woman: I will guide your way still my dear. I will definitely sit in the chair where you sat that day you helped me sit in this chair. How funny is it that if you are going to think about it, we are just changing our chairs.

Man: What do you mean?

Madam: If you remember, the day that I sat in this chair, you were sitting in that chair where I am about to sit after everything is settled. This Palace will be yours, and the House were you used to head will be mine.

Man: Oh yes I remember. I am thrilled my love.

Woman: This is only the beginning...We will conquer! You and me, we will rule this land. But as I have said, we will be discreet.

Man: We will be.
