“HIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART”

CHAPTER : 73 . 

RORISANG . 

We got to the hospital like .. 30 minutes ago and I don't want to be here . My anxiety is shooting up and my contractions are intestifying .. he doesn't want to leave my side , he's holding my hand . What I prayed for ... I don't remember Siyabonga being there when Kago and Ontshiametse were born because he always had something to do .

Lwandile didn't like the fact that I have to wear hospital gowns so he brought my pajamas and everything else I'm gonna need . 

“you look so chilled Rorisang hai ..” Kgothatso says , btw Lwandile's female music director is the one who's gonna be taking the video . She'll be here like .. 5 minutes before I give birth . 

“you want me to scream ?” I ask . 

“you don't look like you're in labour , you're relaxed man .” 

“that's the aim ..” I say , my contractions are now advanced ones , the pains are out of this world . My lower belly is more heavier .. I'm trying not to cry , I just want her to be here already . 

“are they still ongoing ?” I nod . 

“I'm actually uncomfortable right now hence i keep tapping my feet .” I say and she nods . Lwandile's phone rings as he picks it up . 

“hi ..” he glances at me before standing up and listening properly . 

“okay ?” Me and Kgothatso glance at each other .. who is he talking to ? 

“okay , bye ..” he hangs up . 

“who was that ?” 

“a radio host , I've been called for an interview 4 weeks from now .” he says . 

“oh my , you're a celebrity now ?” Kgothatso says as he chuckles a bit .

“i guess so ..” he holds my hand again , this time .. my phone rings . It's my dad .. I pick it up and place it on speaker . 

“hey daddy ..” I say . 

“are you at the hospital ?” he asks . 

“yeah ..”

“how's everything going ?” he asks . 

“I'm in a lot of pain , but I'm a strong girl . You know ..” I say . 

“you are a strong girl , i can't be there but i know that mommy's there with you in spirit okay ? the light she's about to shed in your life is greater than questioned .” see now , I'm about to cry . 

“yes daddy ..” I say . 

“you're gonna make a fantastic mother yet again . I'm proud of you , i know things haven't been great between us but i love you . You're my only child and you're the love of my life .” he says , I wipe off my tears .

“you're the love of my life too .” I say glancing at Lwandile who shakes his head .

“you can do this , be stronger ..” he says . 

“i will daddy , i will” 

“bye .” he hangs up and I sigh . 

“people making me cry but i said i wouldn't cry .” I say . 

“you're holding them tears in ..” Kgothatso says as I wipe off the remaining tears .

—

I'm shaking right now , I might just scream because what I'm feeling now , I wouldn't ever wish upon my worst enemy . I now have like 5 seconds before the next contraction hits and I swear , i just want to be buried now . Even death must be better than this ..

I'm sweating , squeezing Lwandile's hand whenever a contraction hits me because he just refuses to let go of my hand .

“second phase is almost over .. are you sure you have the energy to push ?” I can literally feel my vagina getting heavy . 

“she ate .. she's fine .” Kgothatso says . I hold onto Lwandile's arm moaning silently , this hurts . What stings is that I'm expending for the third time and it feels like the pain gets worser everytime I do it . 

“yoh! You're so strong ! I was screaming mina shame . I was screaming , neke kgowa kele all over !” she says , I'm not trying to laugh but Kgothatso is just something else . I wrap my arms around Lwandile's waist as the tears come streaming down . I knew I was gonna cry at some point , the pain is unbearable . 

“its okay ..” He says rubbing my back .

“my back hurts .. don't do that .” 

“I'm sorry ..” he says kissing my forehead .

“can we pray ?” I say making eye contact with him as he wipes off my tears .

“sure ..” 

“baby come ..” I say glancing at Kgothatso . We join our hands together .. 

“will you pray for us ?” he nods .

“ Dear Heavenly Father, I stand before you today, humbled and grateful for the gift of life. As Rori brings our child into this world, I ask for Your guidance and protection.” tears stream down my face and I hear Kgothatso sniffing .

“Watch over Rori, dear Lord. Grant her strength, courage, and resilience as she faces this challenging moment. May Your loving hands cradle her, comforting her through every contraction and every breath.”

“Bless our child, Oh God. May they be born healthy, happy, and filled with Your love. May they grow to know Your grace, Your mercy, and Your wisdom.” he says , God , I hope you're listening . I need you now more than ever 

“ As I witness Rori's selflessness and devotion, I'm reminded of Your unconditional love. Help me to support her, to be her rock, and to cherish her more each day. ” you are my rock , you've been my rock for a very long time Lwa ..

“ In this sacred moment, I commit our family to You. May our love be a reflection of Your divine love. May our home be filled with laughter, joy, and the warmth of Your presence . ” reality is slowly hitting me , I'm actually about to give birth to our baby ..

“Thank you, Father, for the gift of life, love, and family , Amen .” we utter Amen and open our eyes . Kgothatso holds both my hands . 

“I'm proud of you .” she says kissing my forehead . 

“you're gonna do great .” she says and I smile a bit . I walk to the bed and sit , now my back is on fire . Someone is stabbing me a thousand times on my back without stopping , I get off the bed kneeling down and burying my face in the bed and placing my hands on the bed . I start crying .. let me just die because I cannot handle this ..

“baby ..” he says pulling me up but I shake my head . 

“don't touch me ..” I say ..

“apply pressure on her back ..” he touches my back with his cold hands and I let out a loud cry . I hear the doctor walking back in .. 

“how's our mommy to be doing ?” 

“how do you think she's doing ? you can obviously see that she's not fine .” Lwandile says and the doctor sighs . 

“Rorisang ?” 

“i want to push .. i can't do this anymore , i want to push right now ..” I say with my voice breaking and trembling . Lwandile picks me up placing me on the bed . The other 2 nurses and doctors walk back .. 

“is she ready ?” 

“please .. i can't take this anymore . Just .. help me ” I say . 

“lets go ..” they surround the bed , Lwandile is not moving from my side . I half open my eyes ..

“is the music video director here ?” he nods lightly .

“yeah ..” 

“there's my lipgloss and liner in Kgothatso's bag , tell her to give them to you .” the nurses laugh , I don't get what's funny though . 

“Kgothatso , give me her lipgloss and lip liner .” 

“okay here ..” once he gives them to her , he glances at me . He takes my clean face cloth and wipes off the sweat on my face . I already had my eyelashes on , he takes the lip liner applying it across my lips carefully .. once he's done , he takes the lipgloss and also applys it on my lips . He hands me the mirror as I look at myself . 

“untie my hair ..” I say , he unties my hair and brushes it nicely so . 

“are you ready now ?” I nod lightly taking a deep breath . 

“is the camera ready ?” Kgothatso asks and the man responds "yes" . They're busy spreading my legs and my fiance is not ... mxm .. they cover me with the sheet just over my legs while the other 2 nurses hold my legs . GOD , help me deliver a healthy and beautiful baby . I say grabbing Lwandile's hand ..

“I'm scared ..” he kisses my forehead . 

“where do you want to go after your break ?” I smile a bit .

“Dubai ..” he nods and kisses my forehead again . 

“we'll go ..”

“okay Rorisang .. you know the drill .. I'm gonna need you to start pushing for me ..” I nod ..

“okay .. push ..” I start pushing , not the crazy grinning teeth and screaming push . Just normal pushing , I don't get the drama . 

“yeah .. yeah keep pushing ..” she says , I push squeezing Lwandile's hand . 

“yes , give it your all , come on ..” I push a bit harder feeling my p`ssy expanding , my poor p`ssy .. I hope her head is not big .

“and the head is out .. lets go ..” I push once more , yoh ! It's heavy down there ! 

“oh my god ..” I say taking a deep breath and pushing more ..

“you're doing good bestie , come on .” Kgothatso says .

“lets go girlie ..” did she call me girlie ? does she see girlie when she looks at me ? mx .. I give it my all this time , Lwandile keeps kissing my forehead .. my man is crying . 

“and there you go !” my heart skips a bit , she's crying . She's actually crying , my baby is here and she's .. she's okay .. you know the feeling of hearing your own baby's first cries ? oh my God ..

“congratulations ...” the doctor says , i can't even see properly because my tears are streaming down endlessly . Sbanesihle is here …
