Insert 102:

The wedding went well. They were so happy making promises that they will spend their lives together till they die. 

.

They just got back and Mbuso quickly wants to go and fetch Khosi from school

Zakhona wraps her arms around him 

Zakhona: so am I officially Zakhona Gatsheni

Mbuso:(smiling) yes , you can now be called uMaGatsheni

Zakhona: hai not for me shem. Those are not for 2ks

Mbuso: why? I can call you MaGatsheni

Zakhona:ungaqali

Mbuso: eish sthandwa Sami I have to go and fetch Khosi from school. it's 14h30pm

Zakhona: what time do they come out

She says making her way to the kitchen and Mbuso followed her

Mbuso: 15pm

Zakhona: oh okay and babe I also going to my house today 

Mbuso: for what?

Zakhona: haibo don't you remember? We have to go to your home. Even though I am nervous

Mbuso: couldn't we just meet them there. Not to sleepover there today?

Zakhona: Khosi's left clothes are there. 

Mbuso: mxm we would have dropped her there then come back here. I don't want them to keep sending you to do chores

Zakhona:(chuckles) I don't care with doing chores

Mbuso: you just don't know what I am talking about. They will keep choosing for you what to wear,cook for the whole family ..you will do all the hard work yourself and i don't want that 

Zakhona: angithi you will be there to defend me 

Mbuso: yes I will be there but..

Zakhona: there's not but ,we are going sthandwa sami

She says opening a tap for washing the dishes

Mbuso: (sigh) okay sengyahambake ,that means I will meet you..

Zakhona: at your home. I will send you a massage when I am outside

Mbuso: it looks like you are not nervous

Zakhona: I really am nervous. Just that...I must be brave and put my shyness sway

Mbuso: okay ,let me leave then 

He says kissing her cheek and left.

It's 17h40pm and Mbuso just parked outside as he saw Zakhona's car at the gate and let her in.

Zakhona sighs heavily getting out of the car, she is wearing a long tight black dress that shows her belly and white sneakers with a jacket on top 

Khosi is already inside

Mbuso: don't take out the suitcases ,vele we are leaving tomorrow unjani vele

He says coming closer to her and taking her hand

Zakhona: I am scared 

Mbuso: no don't be scared ,omalume will also see that I really chose a good and beautiful wife kuwe.

Zakhona blushes as Mbuso made his way with her inside. They are all sitting in a table and ready to eat. It looks like they were not counted from the food ,while Khosi already is sitting with her own plate of food

Mbuso: ninjani lakhaya

No one answered as Fakazi stood making his way to them and gave Mbuso a hug then handshake Zakhona

Zakhona: ninjani baba

Fakazi: syaphila ,it's good to hear that you already know how to greet huh?

Zakhona chuckles 

Mbuso: thina we were not counted in food?

Nandi: we did ,your food is in the kitchen

Mbuso: let's go (reffering to Zakhona)

Aunt: no leave her. 

Mbuso looks at her for a little, then let's go of her hand and drags a chair for her from the table as she sit. Then he leaves to the kitchen

Zakhona's heart is beating so fast as she doesn't know what to do or say

Aunt: awusho ,what is the name of the baby?

Zakhona: Owethu

Nandi: it's a beautiful name ,

Uncle 1: hay umshana really chose well..I didn't know he was talking about a type of a beautiful girl like this

Uncle 2: mxm

Aunt: how many months are you pregnant?

Zakhona clears her throat as she is still trying to count with her head

And Mbuso enters ,with the plate and a small bowl on his hand

He offers Zakhona the player of food ,and sits next to her with his cornflakes

Aunt: Mbuso why are you eating that

It's not "that", it's cornflakes

Mbuso: you didn't count us when cooking the food. There was only one plate in the kitchen ,and there are two of us here. 

Fakazi: Nandi?

Nandi: baba the food was for Mbuso because we never thought he is gonna come with someone else

Mbuso: oh so I have to eat and be full while my pregnant wife is hungry?

Buhle:mm

She is saying that "mm" in a way of complimenting like..."wakhula Mbuso" while she is busy with her phone 

Fakazi: you are right my son.

Uncle 1: let's pray

Zakhona glances at Mbuso while while she also has to pretend like she is used to praying.

Fakazi:(smiling) Makoti bless the food for us

They are now all looking at her instead of closing their eyes

As Mbuso holds her hand under the table ,

Zakhona: can we all close our eyes(they do) god please bless our food as we are about to eat ,amen

Fakazi: thank you 

Aunt: what a short prayer

Fakazi: short , understandable and we'll said

Nandi:(clears throat) we can start eating 

.

.

It's 19pm , Zakhona will be sharing the room with Mbuso obviously. 

As she is preparing the bed ,and already changed into her pyjamas and her gown on top

Mbuso: you looked beautiful today

Zakhona:(smiles) thank you 

Mbuso: I didn't know you could pray

Zakhona:(laughs a little) talking about that part...I almost said the Lord's prayer ,and not blessing the food 

Mbuso chuckles
