CHAPTER 10
#10MIGCOBO CEMBI
I woke up early today and got myself clean and comfortable before starting with searching for places to rent. The plan is to run from this place and probably never come back I can't be accused of trying to pin a non-existent pregnancy on a man just because he has money. I know how man are a man can have all the money in the world but when he doesn't want to maintain a child he'll not maintain it. It's that simple nje. You can't pin a pregnancy to a man in this life.
Imagine my disappointment when I walked inside the kitchen to find him dishing up breakfast in a suit. He looks up to me and smiles nervously. I'm mad as hell and he's going to witness exactly that. What he said yesterday really hurt my feelings especially because he himself knows I haven't been with a man since my virgin breaker almost a year ago.
"Morning." He greets pushing a plate towards me. I'm hungry so I'll eat last night I didn't even have the strength to eat.
"Morning. " I answer him taking a sit and start eating. He's looking at me all this while. I finish up in no time and I'm still not full. I guess he can tell because he gives me his plate and dishes up for himself again.
"You didn't eat last night?"
"No I didn't have appetite. "
"Okay I'm sorry about what I said I just panicked. I didn't plan to get you pregnant and now we're here."
"I told you I'm not pregnant if I was I would feel it."
"Okay I brought pregnancy tests please take them then we'll see from there."
I nodded as I finished eating. I goat a glass of orange juice and that smell again I run to the sink throwing up all my breakfast what the hell? Emva kokuba nditye kangaka.
"Here's some water."
"Thanks I probably didn't check the expiry date on the orange juice." He looks at me like I've grown horns. I walk to the lounge and take a sit heaving a loud sigh.
"Come let's go to a doctor." He takes my hand and we walk out going to his car. It's silent the minute we get inside the hospital I'm gagging again it smells awful. We cut the line walking inside the doctors office much to the other patients disapproval.
"Ahh Maxhosa what a nice surprise. Sorry mam please give us a minute. " the woman walks out mumbling something under her breath." Ntwana ndikunceda ngantoni namhlanje?" The man asks looking at me with judgmental eyes. He already knows what's going own so why is he asking.
"I think we might be pregnant I want you to check so we can be sure." I got lost at the we. So I'm no longer a gold digger trying to trap him with a pregnancy? The man gives me a cup to pee on and shows me the bathroom door. I pee on it and rinse my hands going back inside the office. It's tense you can literally cut the tension with a knife.
He takes out two pregnancy tests and dips then in my urine Yakhanani takes the container and goes inside the bathroom to dispose it.
"Is this what you do? Get pregnant for married man to secure the bag?" He asks with a face full of disgust. I smile nodding my head.
"Yeah you should try it it lessens the hard work." His face falls I don't know what he was hoping for but I'm going to give him exactly what he wants. Kuhle walks out of the bathroom and sits next to me kissing my cheek.
"Well they're both positive 2+ weeks. Let's do a scan to see for sure." The doctor gestures for me to take the bed and I do as told lifting my top up."
LIYANA MAXHOSA
He came home late last night then left me during our dinner only to come back in the wee hours of the morning smelling like a woman. It wasn't my first time smelling that perfume on him everyday when he comes home he always smells like that. I don't want to overthink but dear God help me in this. This morning he left before any of us woke up and now it's close to midnight and he's not home. Lionel left today for Paris maybe he's trying to balance everything in the office. My phone rings and I frown its his PA.
"Hello."
"Hello Mrs Maxhosa there's a delivery coming in your place right now can you please sign it for me and check what it is."
"Is it my husband's?"
"Yes mam and I'm so sorry for calling this late sir said he's still at the office he can't sign in."
"Okay it's already here let me go check." I drop the call and get out of bed slipping my feet inside my slippers and walk out of the bedroom. I buzz whoever it is in and go stand by the door. The man has a box and a gift bag with him. I sign then he walks out I make sure the gate is closed before walking inside the house locking and setting the alarm.
I take a sit on the couch and open the box first there's a dress it looks beautiful it's black in colour. I open the gift bag there are shoes with a box with earrings and a necklace. I take the note inside.
"I'm so sorry for being a jerk these last few days baby. I'll make it up to you. I love you."
I can't control the smile on my face I missed these nice gestures. He was definitely lacking these past few days. I know I'm also to blame for depriving him of full access to me in the bedroom. Maybe I might change that but I'm scared he'll not love my body especially now. I'm nothing like I was 17 years ago.
