Zakhona's pov:

I don't know what happened,when I remember it was when the doctors were panicking ,and I fainted there 

Here am I ,lying on the hospital bed ,it looks like everything is fine ,like the surgery was successful

A doctor opened the door and came to me

Dr: Morning Ms Cola , you're already up

Me: yes Doctor, is everything fine?

I said trying to sit up ,but she stopped me 

Dr: please don't move for now ,you will get yourself hurt ,there are still places where you can feel pain

I lie back on the bed slowly ,not to get hurt

Dr: (sigh and looks down) unfortunately Mrs Cola...we lost one of your babies

Me:(confused) huh?

Dr: we lost one of your twins Durning the surgery 

Tears fell from my eyes ,I felt dizzy ,and I couldn't believe I am hearing this

Me: how come?(sniffing) you promised me to make sure everything is successful!

Dr: but I thought we informed you about the consequences the surgery may have ,I am really sorry for your loss ,but ...there's still a Baby in your tummy remember

Me: I want my baby , I want my baby!! (Crying)

I want my baby!! How can they kill my baby? Where did they take my baby to?

Me: I haven't even felt my baby on my hands ,how can you kill my baby!!!

I am crying so much ,the pain is overpowering me ,I am getting hurt but I don't care about the pain for now ,I want my baby!

Just as when I was screaming ,I felt a needle getting on my skin ,and suddenly I felt dizzy 

Me: I..want my ba...(I dozed off)

.

.

.

Hours later ,I woke up and there's a nurse who offered me food ,it looks like I am still gonna be here for a long time

Nurse: you still have to stay for few days so you can heal cause you can't drive for a long distance while you are not well

Me: Can I make a call at least?

Nurse: let me go get your belongings

She came back with my bags ,and handed me my phone 

I called Mbuso as he answers

Mbuso: baby is everything fine, how are you and how are our kids?

Baby?? Uhm ...okay 

Me: I am fine (with a low voice)

Mbuso: and our kids

I broke up ,and cried

Mbuso: baby talk to me what's wrong? I will be there okay? I will be there ,tonight I am gonna be with you ,don't worry (he hangs up)

I couldn't hold my crying ,it hurts so much hearing him talking about kids while there is only one kid left 

.

.

.

It is 17pm ,I spent the whole day in this bed ,how boring arghh

I never called Cindy to ask about how the plan is going 

Let me get some sleep ,oh here is a nurse

Nurse: mam you have a visitor

Me: who is it ?

It just be Mbuso ,was he serious that he is driving to Durban?

Nurse: he calls himself the father of your children

Me: let him in

The nurse welcomes him in as he got in ,I am shy, him seeing me like this. I smell the hospital and I even have black rounds under my eyes

He came towards and attacked me with a peck on my lips ,brushing my cheek

Mbuso: hey (whispers)

Me: hey 

Mbuso: I am here okay? Don't say anything for now 

He sleeps on my chest holding my hands ,wait ...did he forget that me and him are not an item?uh?

Mbuso: the bed is so small ,I am taking you with me 

Me: (wipes my tears) mm? To where

Mbuso: you feel okay right? You are strong to walk or move for yourself

Me: you know I am the Gangster girl ,I am strong nothing can defeat me 

He chuckles ,and took my bag ,

,It looks like he already convinced the nurses to let me go with him.

Me: I have to dress first 

Mbuso: you look beautiful on that ,come 

Holding my hand as I move out of bed ,and walked with him. I still need him for balance though 

Yoh being sick is something else I tell you 

.

.

.

We were in a hotel ,we got into the room ,theres one bed ? Uh l lie on the bed covering myself with a blanket ,all of a sudden,I feel him getting into the bed 

Me: we are gonna share the bed?

I said without turning to him

Mbuso: I miss you 

He is ignoring my question and kept drawing circles on neck 

Come on this man wants sex while I am sick like this?

Me: you broke up with me remember, me and you are not an item ,we are together like this for the sake of kids...of our child

Mbuso: of our kids my love , remember she is not the only one 

He already know the gender?haibo ,how am I gonna tell him we lost one of the twins?it makes me break up all the time

I am now sobbing but trying by all means for him not to hear ,but I failed

Mbuso: are you crying?

He is now wanting me to turn to him ,as I move slowly and face him 

Me: Mbuso we lost our child (I cried)

Mbuso: huh? 

Me: we lost one of our babies (sniffing)

I am looking down ,cause I can't face him while I am like this

Mbuso: shhh come here (he puts my head on his chest)

It made him angry and feel bad but he is trying to act strong But I can hear him sniffing and his heart beat is beating fast 

Me: I know I dissappointed you I am sorry 

Mbuso: no you didn't disappoint me ,it was beyond your control

Me: thanks for understanding

Mbuso: but please promise me you are not the one who killed our baby?

Wait what did he say ?

Me: huh?

He suspects me?
