Insert 78 I couldnt utter a single word, I was beyond frustrated. Nakhane: baby? Uright? I snapped out of my thoughts. Me: ndi right, ngu Silu maan. Nakhane: uthini? She came to sit next to me. Me: uthi we are not related. I looked down. She rubbed my back.. Nakhane: shes just confused. Myeke wethu. Me: ndimyeke njani? Sibabalwe will destroy her. Nakhane: Sibabalwe? Me: ewe, nguye lo uthe lo mntana makangacingi ukuba siyazalana. Nakhane: hee, hay inzima le nto. USilusapho ucinga njani kanti yena? Hay ndiyabhidwa mna shame. I got up. Me: Sibabalwe will not get away with this. Nakhane: uzakuthini? She looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders. Me: Ill think of something. Nakhane: dont do anything stupid ke Siphesihle, uyeva? Me: I wont do anything stupid. Mandilale, Ill think of something. I took off my clothes.. Me: ndilala apha mos? She laughed. Nakhane: ewe, ulala apha. We sorted things out mos. I got into bed. Nakhane: lets pray.. We prayed and she got into bed too.. The following day, I woke up and prepared for work. I got dressed in a Grey suit and packed bags.. Nakhane woke up too and prepared for work. Me: youre looking good! Nakhane: thanks.. She turned around for me to have a full view of how the dress hugged her body.. Me: yho! Hay ke wena! She laughed. We went to the kitchen for breakfast. When we were done, we left for work.. I dropped her off and went to my work-place.. Phinda was already at her desk.. I greeted and she greeted back.. Phinda: kanti mhle kangaka umfazi wakho?! Me: thanks.. I smiled. Phinda: you guys are so young though, kudala nitshatile? Me: ewe, kudala. Do I have any messages? Phinda: uuuh, not yet. Me: okay, Ill be in my office ke. Phinda: okay.. I went to my office.. During lunch, Jabu walked into my office.. Jabu: masambeni ke ndoda, sime ngawe. Me: sure, Im right behind you! He walked out and I followed him. We drive off to a spot in the township where we bought all the junk food you can think of, from fat cakes to ooSmiley. We sat around the table, all five of us and indulged. My phone rang, it was my wife.. Me: hey baby.. Her: hey, unjani? Me: ndi right, wena? Her: nam ndi right. Akusangxolwa, uphi? Me: ndihambe nezi chaps, were having lunch. Her: yhoo, hay ke wena ke! Nitya ntoni? I cleared my throat.. Me: sitya ii salads baby, I have to go. The boys laughed.. Her: okay ke, enjoy. Me: will do. We hung up.. Jabu: salads? Hahaha yhoo, hay uxoka strong(o).. Me: andikho kwi mood yoxoxa yhoo. Women can be too much sometimes.. After our oily lunch, we went back to work.. An hour after lunch, Nakhane called me.. Me: baby? Im kinda busy right now. Her: oh sorry, bendifuna ukukhumbuza ke nge appointment yethu ne gynecologist. Ingo 3. Me: okay baby, sure. I hung up. I was in a middle of a session and answering phones was on another level of being unprofessional. After my session, I went to pick Nakhane up and we went to meet up with Khitha at her gynecologist. Me: Im really not looking forward to this. Nakhane: ngoba? We have to be there for her. I kept quiet. We got there and Khitha was already there, waiting for us. We greeted and she greeted back. Nakhane: Im so glad were here early. They shared a hug. Hehe! We sat down.. Khitha: nam ndiyafika phofu. We went in for her check-up. Everything was normal, both her and the baby were fine.. Doc: awukafuni nangoku ukumazi ukuba yintombi okanye yinkwenkwe? Khitha: uuh, no. I want it to be a surprise. She looked at me and smiled. I was really uncomfortable. We walked out when she was done.. Khitha: thanks for coming with me, guys. Nakhane: its a pleasure. But why ungafuni ukuyazi i-gender? Khitha: ndifuna ukuyibona ngala mini inkulu. Nakhane: mmhhmm.. We got to the parking area. Khitha: guys, thanks for coming. I really appreciate everything youre doing for me. Nakhane: arg, dont mention it. Nakhanes phone rang, she took it out of her handbag. Nakhane: ngu tata, I have to take this. She took a few steps away as she picked up. Khitha: shes so sweet. I nodded. Khitha: uright? Youre so quiet lately. I looked at her.. Me: why didnt you use the morning after pills? She had this shocked look written all over her face.. Me: why didnt you? Our agreement was that you will use the morn- Khitha: jonga, mamela ke bhuti.. I owe you no explanation ngomzimba wam, uyeva? Me: andithethi ngomzimba wakho mna. Ndithetha nge pregnancy le idibanisa nam. Why? She fixed her maternity dress.. Khitha: wena ucinga ukuba kwakulula kum? after ndilele nawe, my life changed. USibabalwe found out, imagine the drama that took place. Me: that still doesnt explain why you didnt use those pills. Khitha: I forgot!! She screamed.. I looked around, people around us stared.. She cleared her throat. Khitha: I forgot! Yayininzi into eyayisenzeka. I had my whole life trembling before my eyes. My man left me for your sister, my parents.. A tear escaped her eye.. Khitha: my parents are mad at me. She exhaled.. Khitha: look, if awumfuni lo mntana, just say so. Okay? Me: hee, hayke ngoku. Youre such a confused soul yazi. Zininzi ezi zinto uzithetha ngalo mlomo wakho. Nakhane came to join us. Khitha and I were staring at each other straight in the eye.. Nakhane: whats going on? Khitha looked at her and smiled. Khitha: nothing. Uhm, I have to get going.. Iinyawo zam ziyadinwa kukuma isdala. Nakhane: okay, uhambe kakuhle ke sisi. They shared a hug and Khitha walked away. We got to our car and drove off.. Me: uthini utata? Nakhane: ngumama lo ebefouna, uthi uyeza. Me: uza apha? Nini? Nakhane: ngomso. Uthi uyasikhumbula. I smiled. I wasnt ready for her mothers visit. We were not ready. Yes, we were sorting things out between us, but we were not there yet. A lot needed to be iron out and I was afraid she was going to pick up on the tension and negative vibes. Nakhane: ingathi awonwabanga kukuza kukamama. Me: haybo? Ndonwabile. Qha ndoyika abone ukuba besikhe saxabana. Nakhane: nonsense man, my mom is not like that. And besides, wonke umntu uyaxabana every now and then. Me: oh, okay ke. We got home. Nakhane: benincokola ngantoni no Zimkhitha? I looked at her.. Nakhane: you guys had a rather serious conversation, but xa ndifika mna, you stopped. Me: ooh, hay maan. Bendimbuza ngalento yakhe yongasebenzisi ii pills after our.. Uhm, you know. Nakhane: oh! Uthini yena? Me: uthi walibala, uthi a lot happened ela xesha. Nakhane: oh! Okay ke. She sat on the couch.. I went to sit next to her.. Nakhane: what do you feel like having? Andilambanga mna. Me: nam andilambanga. Im just tired. Nakhane: okay, come, lets go and take a shower ke. I smiled. We went to take a shower, then got into bed. Nakhane: hee, bendincokola no Ambesiwe this afternoon. Me: ooh, baseza nge weekend? Nakhane: ewe, uthi they are pregnant again. Me: thats amazing. I smiled. Nakhane: sithi sedwa aba bangade bakhulelwe. She sounded a bit sad. Me: our time will come, baby. She said nothing. I could tell she was not happy. Maybe she wanted a baby. We prayed. The following morning, I woke up and prepared for work. Nakhanes phone rang. I went to pick it up as she was still asleep. It was her mother. Me: hello Ma? Her: Sihle sana lwam, unjani? Me: ndiyaphila mama, enkosi. Unjani wena? Her: iNkosi isiphethe ngenceba. Ubusewuvile ukuba ndiyeza? Me: ewe mama, besendivile. Her: okay, bendifuna ukunixelela ke ukuba ndizakufika phaa ngo 3. Ndicela nindikhawulele eBus Station. Me: undifounele mama xa usondele, ndizakulanda khona. Her: enkosi ke ndoda. Nibe nemini emnandi ke. Me: nawe mama, uhambe kakuhle. We hung up. I went to make breakfast for myself. When I was done, I sat down and ate. My phone beeped with an incoming text. I checked it, it was a Whatsapp text from Zimkhitha, I opened it and it read as follows: Morning Daddy. Hope ulele kakuhle, I had a dream last night.... I thought for a second, debating with my inner self on whether to reply or not. I ended up replying. Me: hey, I slept well. Uphuphe ntoni? I placed my phone next to me and continued eating. My phone beeped again, I checked it and it was her.. Her: remember our future plans? Getting married and adopting atleast one kid on top of our own kids? I had this amazing dream, in my dream, we were adopting a little girl. We named her Phawu-lothando. She really was a symbol for our love. After reading that text, I deleted the chat and logged out.. Was she.. Could she be.. Okay no, she cant be flirting with me, no! She cant be planting ideas on my head too, she just cant! Baby?, Nakhane whispered, waving her hand right on my face.. Me: hey, I didnt see you there. I cleared my throat. Nakhane: you were in deep thoughts, thats why. She sat down. Me: ininzi into endiyicingayo. Nakhane: ucinga ntoni? Me: uuuh, well.. Umama wakho ebefounile, I was thinking of ways to entertain her. She laughed. Nakhane: really? Entertain? Me: ewe, shes our guest kaloku. Nakhane: hay wethu, umama akadingi entertainment. Her bible is her entertainment. Me: oh okay ke. I continued eating.. Nakhane: Im not going to work namhlanje. Ndifuna ukulungiselela umama kakuhle. Me: no problem, ndizakuthatha xa ndiya kuye ke. Nakhane: sure, She got up and kissed my cheek.. Nakhane: uphangele kakuhle ke. Me: thanks. She went to open the fridge. Nakhane: yazi Ive been thinking? Me: what? Nakhane: kunganjani uZimkhitha xa enokuza azohlala apha nathi? I swallowed.. Me: huh? Nakhane: just for a few weeks, ade abeleke. Me: no! Nakhane: ngoba? Mna ndine worry nguye, she looks frustrated. Me: akazokuza azohlala apha uZimkhitha. Nakhane: why not? I got up.. Me: why? UZimkhitha une family yakhe. Lets not get too involved. Nakhane: its only for a few weeks. We dont need any stress related issues here. Me: and we dont need her here. Nakhane: come on man, shes like family. Uyambona mos nawe uyazisola for what happened between nina. Me: my answer is no, akazoza apha uZimkhitha. And thats final. Nakhane: okay fine. Bendifuna ukumenzela lo favour nam. Im sure shed love to be around people eli xesha. Me: no! I went to our room, to get my bags. I wasnt going to share a house with an ex. I didnt want to put our marriage at risk like that. Nobody knew Zimkhithas capabilities and I chose to keep away from her as much as I could. Nakhane was too trusting, and I didnt like that about her. I mean, who trusts her mans ex girlfriend who is a potential baby mama? Thats right, nobody. To me, Zimkhithas text had a hidden meaning, she wanted us to continue with our future plans, or maybe I got it all wrong...
