CHAPTER 7
DEAR MRS...CHAPTER 7
YAKHANANI KUHLE MAXHOSA
I still beat myself up for doing things the way I did. The first time I saw Migcobo I knew I wanted her. I had told myself I'm a one woman man and I was for the longest time of my life but when I saw her running in that park I just wanted her with me in all ways but I wasn't about to break my home what better way than to have her as my side. I didn't know her home situation I still don't but the little pieces she throws here and there tell me it wasn't a nice one and when I remember Njabulo I wouldn't be surprised at all.
I drive inside the yard being home is nice and all but it gets tiring seeing my uncles these men are strict its not even funny and it's worse than I only have male cousins this yard is infested with males there are barely woman here and now we have one of our own with the Maxhosa blood on them. Uncle Rhula is standing by my garage door. I have my own separate house with Liyana I'll have to build one for Sihla as well. Life of a polygamous man I tell you.
"Tamncinci." I say greeting him. He wasn't here earlier today and it's already dark outside I don't even know why he's waiting here.
"We have a problem." I frown looking at him. I get back inside the car and he follows sitting on the passenger sit.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"Your brother I having yet another affair but it gets worse." I really don't understand how my brother is always cheating on his wife. I know I did too but he's the worst. He cheated on that girl 3 months after they started dating and he has been cheating since.
"What?" I ask unable to believe there's anything worse than the amount of girls he has been with since he has been with his wife. It always makes me cringe to be honest. How he lies, cheats and then says he loves his wife.
"He's with a man this time around Nqubeko Khoza and they've both filed for divorce. They're divorcing their patne..." I cut him short because what did I just here?
"You mean Nqubeko Khoza the cousin of the Royal house? The one who is a known business man?" I just have to be sure there are alot of Nqubeko Khoza's out here so maybe it's another one.
"Exactly that one they met 6 mo the ago when you asked Lionel to stand in for you for that expention meeting. He was there with the King." I laugh not because it's funny but what the hell? Is my brother this stupid or what?
"This is not good especially if you want to be able to get that deal with the Rome people talk to your brother please." I sigh nodding my head and he gets out of the car. I do the same and walk inside the house. My wife is cuddled up on the couch with the tv remote on her hands.
"Baby." I kiss her cheek brushing her bushy eyebrows. She doesn't seem okay I wonder what is wrong." I reserved a table for us in a restaurant in Kidds Beach. " She looks up smiling .
"Should I get ready?" I nod relaxing on the couch. She jumps and goes up the stairs to our bedroom. It's not long before she comes down in jeans it's almost winter and the cold outside is evidence of that and then Sihla thinks I'll let her go to Mthatha in this kind of cold.
"Let's go I'm ready."
"Get a coat baby it's cold outside please." She sighs and walks back up. She comes down in a coat I take her hand and we walk out of the house. I open the front door for her and she gets in. Getting inside my door my phone beeps with a message. I take it as I start the car.
"There's a man here by the name Sizoli Diko claiming to be your mistresses uncle."
"I'll be in Joburg next week. Give him our EL address ."
"Will do sir."
"And please she's my wife not a mistress. She was never a mistress to begin with."
I put the phone aside and drive out of the yard. This place is big my grandfather made sure to make it as big as possible for his boys.
"What was that?" Liyana aks as we drive down the dirt road of Newrest.
"Work there's someone looking for me. I told them to come this side I'm not cutting this short for anything. She smiled taking my hand into hers.
"Okay so when are they discharging uSihlanganise?"
"Probably later tomorrow. Please get a room ready for her."
"I think umama has already done that. She seems to like uSihla." I smile looking at my wife.
"Is that jealous I sense in your tone?" She chuckles nervously shaking her head.
"Me... Jealous uh.huh not a chance." I could tell she wasn't telling me the truth. I sigh parking the car on the side of the road. I'm not going to have my wives doubting themselves.
"I love you. I love you more than I did the first time I saw you. I know mom doesn't like you very much but that's her problem not yours if she likes Sihla good for her don't mind her. I know mom she'll do anything to have you doubting yourself and we both know that will cause fights between you too. You and Sihla are my wives I know her being here hurts you but I know it'll also benefit you two. You always complained about not having friends. We're all going to have some meetings with a counselor to work on us. I don't want to have two fighting. It won't only affect us but the kids as well but baby talk to me about thing you don't like and if she does something also talk to her. Okay."
"It's going to be hard getting around everything especially when I see you too being affectionate and the nights you won't be with me and the kids."
"I'm going to make sure you all don't feel neglected. Let's go have fun okay."
"Okay maybe we can even go to a club I haven't been in those in a while."
"Mmh that sounds fun I'm not getting drunk though but you can drink as much as you want your husband will pay then be your chauffeur. "
"And get me naked on our kitchen. The kids are sleeping with their granny tonight. "
"Shit baby don't say such things I won't be able to concentrate the whole night. " She laughs throwing her head back. I haven't seen her this carefree in a while it's really nice to see her like this. I take her hand and kiss it.
