Malik Buhari lay in bed next to his wife Khadija, who snored loudly, gently farting in the grip of slumber. Ah, the simple joys of married life. After visiting her parents, Khadija came back with their daughter Amina, and the Buhari family had a happy reunion. Upon her return from her trip, Malik surprised his wife Khadija and daughter Amina with a nice dinner at a Caribbean restaurant, and then they went to a movie together. The Buhari family returned home after their fun outing, and everything was fine. Malik couldn't sleep, though. The forty-something Nigerian Muslim patriarch found himself a bit restless. The events of the past few weeks weighed heavily on his mind, that's for damned sure...
Growing up in the City of Kano, northern Nigeria, Malik Buhari was raised to be a good Muslim. Malik's father Yusuf Buhari was the Imam of the local mosque, and a respected figure in metropolitan Kano. As the son of a Muslim leader, Malik had to walk a fine line. Malik felt attracted to both women and men, but since Nigeria isn't exactly a safe place for gay men and bisexual men to express their true feelings, he repressed that side of himself. Malik ignored the fellas and focused exclusively on the ladies. While attending university, Malik met a tall, curvy and lovely young woman named Khadija Adewale, and they fell in love. Malik proposed to Khadija six months after meeting her, and a grand wedding followed.
Fast forward a few years, and Malik Buhari and his wife Khadija are living in the City of Montreal, Quebec, with their daughter Amina. The couple owns the Africana Super Market, which caters to metropolitan Montreal's fast growing African population. Things were going so well that they were considering opening a second location in another section of town. Life is alright for Malik and his family. Malik loves his wife Khadija and their daughter Amina and would never do anything to endanger them. A lot of bisexual men step out on their wives and mess around with shady men, and it comes back to haunt them. Such men often bring home diseases which infect their wives and destroy their marriages and families. Malik isn't like that...
A few weeks ago, Malik's good friend Thalia Okeke introduced him to her boyfriend Ismail Kader, a tall, handsome young Somali Muslim gentleman whom she met at work. Thalia is one of those tall, fine and curvaceous African Muslim ladies whom Malik would definitely holler at if he weren't married to his beloved Khadija. When Malik met Ismail Kader, the Nigerian Muslim patriarch sensed a kindred spirit in the tall, handsome and masculine Somali stud. Malik wondered if Thalia knew that the man she was sleeping with had secrets of his own. Bisexual men can definitely sense their own kind. Oh well, Thalia and Ismail's affair was none of Malik's business. He had his own stuff to worry about...
A lot of bisexual men from the African Diaspora are always on the prowl, eager to step out on their wives and girlfriends to hook up with other men. Malik Buhari wasn't into cruising, because he didn't want to end up with a stalker or catch a sexually transmitted disease. Men on the prowl for anonymous sex were often irresponsible and careless, and that's how STDs are spread. One look at Ismail Kader and Malik Buhari sensed that not only did he swing both ways, but he was also a sexual adventurer. The kind of man whom Malik Buhari preferred to avoid.
"I stole this fine brother from the Somali ladies," Thalia said as she pressed her body against Ismail, and Ismail grinned and hugged her. Thalia obviously saw her new beau Ismail Kader was some sort of prize. Some women simply cannot resist tall and handsome, masculine men. While holding onto Thalia, Ismail made lots of eye contact with Malik and once more, Malik found himself thinking that Ismail was like him, a man who swings both ways. Malik used to have fun with both ladies and fellas, but he'd been faithful to his wife Khadija throughout their marriage. He loved his wife too much to mess up what they had built together. Still, one look into Ismail's golden brown eyes and Malik found himself feeling a bit tempted...
