#88 Luna also came back that weekend and she was in tears after seeing her daddy in that situation, Im sure it must have been hard on both of them, I would be broken if my father was in that condition. Phila was all gloomy and walked with his head down, he was not the same at all but I allowed him his space, he knew that Im there for him if he needs me. Sometimes at night I would wake up and hear him sobbing, I would just put my arm around him and say nothing. Well Philas father ended up passing away, oh wayebuhlungu umntu wam bethuna and kakhulu, it broke my heart to see him like that, I wished there is something I could do to take the pain away. The funeral preparations were underway, Phila took leave from work but I had to go back to school, I didnt want to cos ndandifuna ukuhlala and support my man in everyway plus I hated leaving my twins. Anyway ndaye ndabuyela eMonti ndodwa and it was the longest week ever ndihleli ndodwa, the flat seemed so much bigger and the bed as well, ndandimane ndiziprivater ndilile, I missed them so much but I spoke to them everyday. On Thursday I drove back home to Mthatha, ndafikela eFortgale, the funeral was on Saturday kwaPayne apho azalwa khona utata. Luna was such an emotional wreck, zange ndambona enjeya and I felt so bad that I couldnt help her, but I understood her pain. Its exactly how I felt when I lost Lupe and all this funeral mumbo just made me miss him. I prayed every night, asking God to give my family strength especially my sister in law and husband to get through this, to guide them through their grief and show them that there is light beyond the dark cloud of death. Yafika imini yefuneral, ndandilele pha kemna noPhila, uMa and Luna. I woke up early with abanye abafazi, I was on tea duty nomnye umakoti omncinci, igama lakhe inguLinathi, she was so sweet and we worked well together. We made tea for everyone and I must say, yhu bayadika abantu be-tea va? After tea, we went to peel veggies and kwabekwa imbiza, people started waking up and we served them ulusu, after that saqala upheka ilunch. Kwafika umzimba and Luna came running to me esithi ucela ndimkhaphe ayobona utatakhe. I was so scared, kaloku utata ngulo kwakuthiwa uphelile esaphila, inoba unjan kengoku angasekhoyo but I went anyway. We saw the body and it was not a pretty sight, I cant even explain it. Anyway the service started and I didnt even get to go because I was so busy. Sasithunywa oko noLinathi kuba sibancinci but I didnt mind since ndisazi ba ngumsebenzi wam as umakoti. My mom and uKhulu came to the funeral, I was so happy to see them. The service was over and we served the people then sayovasa izitya but not zonke. By the end of the day I was so tired, kude kutshisa isinqa esi. The following day we went home sonke, and it felt good to be in the comfort of my own bed. Luna was still distraught but she was going to be fine, uPhila keyena didnt talk much Me baby? I needed to find a way to get through to him Phila mm? Me are you okay? Phila I dont know yaz bhabha Me youre going to be okay nana Phila I just wish I had more time with him Me he knows baby, he knows. Uhambe eyazi lonto and now you need to let go uyeva sthandwa sam he looked at me and nodded Phila ngendiphi ngaphandle kwakho kodwa Mamj wam I smiled thank you baby for not giving up on me and for your support Me isnt that what wives are for na Qwati wam he kissed me softly on the lips Phila I love you kakhulu bhabha wam Me ndakuthanda nam baby then I kissed him again. Three months later..... Everything had gone back to normal again, we were happy again emzini wam and my kids were growing kakuhle. We were now house hunting strongo and we found a nice house kwalapha eGonubie. It had 5 bedrooms and the master bedroom was en suite, it had a large kitchen, my favorite place in the house :) a nice lounge and a patio. We had a nice backyard with a pool and it was next to the beach. It was very beautiful and I just fell in love with it. We decided to buy that house, it was in my name. We signed all the necessary paper work and it was a done deal. We did all that was necessary to make the house a home then in a few months time we moved in to our new home. The twins were excited and basically so was i, the place was perfect and I could certainly see myself raising more kids with Phila and growing old here with him :) . Zahamba iinyanga and I was loving my new home, the nursery ye twins was still joined. I was going well at school and I had passed my semester exams. I went out with my friends a lot more now that the twins were getting older. Phila was still good but enento ethanda usebenza late kutsha nje, he was always on call nasesibhedlela which meant, I hardly spent any quality time with my hubby. Xa ndimbuza lento ase athi hell try and cut down but angayenzi lonto. One day ke I decided to pay him a visit at his work, I didnt have a class that day so I decided to bring him some lunch. I drove over to his work and walked in, kwabe kukhona his two assistants kwi front desk, Angie and Siya, Siya was new and ephaphile but ngendlela eright shame, so was Angie but lately she had an attitude Siya hello Mrs Maneli! She smiled brightly Me hello ladies! Ninjani Siya siright sisi she took my hand yhu intle iring yakho maan Liya, I just cant get over it I smiled Me nawe uyoze uyifumane eyakho bhabha! Siya yhu! Ha.a sana, andinathemba Angie aisuka theres nothing special about it anyway, its not even that big I just looked at her Me andiboni ne yelucky packet ke apho kuwe, unalo khona ithemba loba uyoze ubenayo? Ogqiba ndamshiya apho and walked into Philas office Me hello hubby Phila Liya, uzothini apha? Me okay not quite the response I was expecting but I brought you lunch Phila kutheni ungayanga eskolweni? Me I dont have classes Phila abantwana ke bona ubashiye nobani Me no-aunty wabo, whats with the 20 questions? Phila I have to, thing is I have to go to the hospital now Me what? Cant you spare a few minutes for me? Babe come on we never spend any time together Phila alright fine, a few minutes I smiled and took out the food, we ate and I kept trying to make conversation but uPhila would only answer lonto endiyithethayo, I just stood up Phila uyaphi ngoku? Me I can see when Im not wanted, Ill uh see you and home? He nodded, ndaphuma kulo office intliziyo ilihlwili, aibo what happened to my husband na? :(
