The woman gasped, shouted “No!” and slammed the door once again. This time, fear mixed with her disgust. She worried the man might be dangerous, or worse, persistent enough to keep coming back.
Later that evening, her husband returned from work to find her anxious and unsettled. She told him everything—the knock, the strange man, the obscene question repeated two days in a row. Her husband listened carefully, his face tightening with anger and concern.
“Honey,” he said, wrapping an arm around her, “I don’t like this one bit. Tomorrow, I’m staying home. If this guy comes back, I want to know exactly what his game is. You won’t have to deal with him alone anymore.”
The woman felt a rush of relief. She nodded, grateful for his protection.
The next morning, as they sat at breakfast, a knock rattled the front door again. The wife froze. Her husband motioned for her to stay calm. “I’ll hide behind the door,” he whispered. “Answer him this time. If he asks again, just say yes. Let’s see what he’s really after.”
Though nervous, she agreed. She took a deep breath, smoothed her hair, and opened the door. Sure enough, the same man stood there, staring at her with the same serious face.
“Do you have a vagina?” he asked.
Her husband tensed behind the door, listening closely. The woman swallowed hard, then answered softly, “Yes… yes, I do.”
The man’s expression shifted in an instant. With a sharp edge of irritation in his voice, he said, “Good. Then would you mind telling your husband to stop using my wife’s and stick to yours?”
For a second, silence hung in the air. Then, the husband burst out from behind the door, his jaw dropping in fury and embarrassment. The pieces fell into place: this wasn’t some random lunatic—it was a husband confronting him about an affair.
The woman stood stunned, caught between anger at the man’s audacity and disbelief at the revelation. Her husband, however, had nowhere to hide. His face went red as the accusation sank in.
The strange visitor didn’t wait for a reaction. He tipped his head curtly, turned on his heel, and walked away, leaving behind a stunned wife and a guilty husband.
What followed was chaos. The wife demanded answers—was it true? Had her husband been sleeping with another man’s wife? He stumbled over excuses at first, trying to minimize, then deny, but her instincts told her the truth had just been delivered right to their doorstep.
Her mind replayed the moments of the last few months: the late nights at work, the excuses about business trips, the unexplained silences. Now they all fit into a pattern she hadn’t wanted to see. The man’s blunt confrontation had ripped away the veil of lies.
The husband’s plan to “catch a stalker” had backfired spectacularly. Instead of protecting his wife, he had exposed himself. Karma had arrived in the form of an angry stranger who was tired of sharing his wife’s affection.
For the woman, the moment was both devastating and liberating. Devastating, because her marriage was not what she thought it was. Liberating, because she no longer had to wonder. The truth had come knocking—literally—on her front door.
That day, her life shifted. What started as a strange and unsettling question turned into a revelation that forced her to confront reality. And as she stood in her living room, staring at her husband, she realized that sometimes the truth shows up in the most unexpected, uncomfortable ways.
The man had asked three times, and the third time delivered the answer she hadn’t been looking for but needed to hear.
