My father-in-law is making moves on me

It all began when my father-in-law paid us a visit at our house in the city. He had called my husband and told him that he was getting lonely at the village since his wife’s death and that he needed a break from the village, it reminded him a lot of my mother-in–law who had passed away 3months ago. My husband being the only child, accepted his father’s request and invited him to stay with us until he felt comfortable to go back home.

When he came, everything was normal. He has always had a swift relationship with his son, and things between them were okay. Our children loved him and they enjoyed the presence of their grandfather.

I always felt uncomfortable around him. We never had swift conversations, I think it’s because I feared and respected him at the same time.  Whenever we discuss anything my husband would be present and I wouldn’t talk much, but just agree or sometimes disagree with them.

Now that he was staying in my house things became more awkward. I am a housewife and so I stay home all the time. When my husband went to work and my children to school I would remain at home and ran all the house errands. My husband’s dad on the other hand would spend a lot of time in the living room watching TV and reading magazines.

Then one day when I was in the kitchen doing the dishes I noticed him standing on the door stealing glances at me. When I turned to ask him what he was doing he told me he had come to get some drinking water. I gave him a glass and told him that he didn’t have to come to the kitchen to get water since there was a water dispenser in the living room.

That evening my husband was on a night shift and so he did not come home. My husband is a very busy man, he leaves the house very early in the morning and comes back late. During his night shifts he didn’t come back until the next day. He travels around the country frequently because of his business and so we don’t spend so much time together.

I heard a knock at my bedroom door, and I went to open it, I was on my night dress and I didn’t cover myself because I thought it was my daughter who usually disturbs at night before she sleeps. On opening the door I was shocked to see my father-in-law.

I was embarrassed because I was practically naked. He then entered the room and closed the door. He grabbed me by my waist and kissed me abruptly. I jumped back and slapped him. I immediately opened the door and ordered him to get out. I could not believe the old man, though he was not too old.

He was tall, dark with white bold eyes, he was quite handsome. My husband resembled him a lot; he was like his younger version.  But this did not give him the right to come to my room and try to do what he did.

I locked my room and went back to bed, I was thinking of what to do, I could not tell my husband. That will ruin the perfect relationship they have. What will I do? I don’t want to cheat on my husband, much less with his father.
