He married doppelgangers

I have clients in an area called Socera here in Masvingo province. We visit them once a week, every Tuesday. For the longest time I thought the two women I saw in the shop were sisters. They looked identical; from facial features to body structure only one of the “sisters” looked a little chubbier than the other. 

 I put the word sisters in quotes because during my last visit to Socera I found them both in the shop and made a remark about how I can only tell them apart when they are together. When they are apart I have no idea which of them I am conversing with. That’s when they decided to tell me that they are twins and that their main distinguishing feature is that the chubbier sister has a diastema (gap between the two front teeth) and the other does not. I them smiled and made a joke about how they must have confused even their own parents. Laugh laugh…I laughed as much as I thought my tiny jibe was worth but the “sisters” wouldn’t stop laughing. They laughed so hard I had to ask what was that funny and that’s when they let it out. These two women are not twins or even sisters in the very least. They are simply two women who were married to the same man. One of them he found in his rural home, Gutu and the other he found in Masvingo where he worked. Bizarre.

My personal explanation was that he met his first wife , fell in love and got married. Then years later he met another woman who looked exactly like his wife and decided that he couldn’t stand the thought of another man having to his wife’s doppelganger. And so he married her too.

And now they live happily ever after behind their shop in Socera…
I wonder if i have a doppelganger
