CHAPTER 23
DEAR MRS...CHAPTER 23
SIHLANGANISE MAXHOSA
I'm not a homewrecker I never was a homewrecker. I won't start now but what I am is a woman in love. What can I do to make her feel better? Leave her husband? Then what about me? What about my love for him? What about my kids? I want them to have both a mother and a father. I want them to be loved and to love. I want them to witness what a warm home is and I can't do that without my husband in my life. I can't leave him. I would never leave him even if I was offered a million dollars. He's my family now.
I understand where she's coming from and trust me my heart breaks for her but the man is mine. He's mine and I've claimed him in ways only I can. I'm not selfish but I also want him to myself.
"I can't leave him. I love him just as much as you love him if not more than you do. I want him in my life with our kids a part of it. You don't have to beg me because I'm not leaving him for anyone." She looks at me and laughs bitterly with her had thrown backwards.
"Usisfebe lonomokhwe lo. I should've known you're a desperate bitch from the start milking my husband of his money." Shaking my heard I put the flute glass down looking at her. She doesn't know me.
" I don't need your husband's money. Mna my parents worked hard so I can afford myself and not depend on a man. Please leave my house." She looks at me clicking her tongue and gets up. I don't see it coming the glass lands on my fore head before dropping to the ground shattering on the porcelain tile.
My loud wail wakes the kids up and they cry out loud as Liyana walks out the door. Can a person just change like that over night? We were okay not so long ago what happened now? Why the sudden change in her attitude?
I get my phone texting uhusband woMzantsi. Instead of texting back he calls.
"Why are they screaming baby?" He asks I should've just told him what happened on the text how do you put such things in words?
"It's nothing umh can you pick us up when you're going to your father's house?" I ask diverting from what I initially called for. I should put make up on to avoid him seeing the mark on my cheek.
"Okay baby have you had lunch yet?"
"No I was about to." I honestly tell him it slipped my mid actually. I have been cooped up in work drafting my business plan. I'll have him look into it when he comes back later today.
"Okay get ready I'll pick you guys up for lunch then siye kutata. I miss you." I blush looking down at my feet. There's that warmth and softness in his voice as he says these words probably why I'm turning pink as is.
"You saw me before going to work myeni wam." I remind him raking a seat on the couch. I'll have to feed these three before going with him. Nani walks in with plastic bags in her hands.
"I know baby I just want to be next to you all day everyday. How's the business plan coming along?" He asks as Nani pushes the kids towards the kitchen. I get up following her. I get their bottles and mix the milk then put it on the sink with cold water to cool down a little. She's looking at my now bruised cheek. I can tell by the way it's itching for me to touch.
"Good I'll show it to you later today. Let me get ready babe. We'll have to leave the kids behind since we're not sure about the time to come back home." I say this looking at Nani she needed the break shem and I'm sure she got up to no good last night that's just how she is. She nods looking at me with a smile. We get the bottles and feed the kids.
"I love you mnkam."
"I love you too baby." I tell him before dropping the call. I turn to look at Nani and sigh leaning on the fridge behind me after taking Ubabalo from the pram."She attacked me. She came here and started a fight with me. I didn't even know that Kuhle hasn't been going to her house."
"Don't. Sisi don't do that it's not your fault none of this is your fault. Boss is the one who came to you. You fell in love you couldn't help it. She shouldn't be fighting everyone after fooling everyone about being okay with you in their lives. If she couldn't stand you she shouldn't have been allover your face about it. You have a project you're working at. You have a campaign with Puma and that kids nton nton. Hoya wena, your kids and your husband not abantu abaziphambanisayo."
I sigh how am supposed to just move on after seeing that much pain in her eyes? I destroyed her family but I have one of my own too. I can't deprive my kids of a father just because she's hurting if she didn't want me in her family's she should've fought tooth and nail for her husband to forget about me. I'm sorry but I'm not about to cut my own happiness short for her or anyone else for that matter.
"You're a mother now you and your kids should come first bonus is the man is in love with you just as much as you love him. Go get ready I'll finish up here. I won't bath them we'll wait for you." I smile giving her a hug. I needed to hear that. I run up the stairs to get ready better for me as father inlaw doesn't mind what I wear. I'm putting on something sexy underneath I'm going to give it up to my husband when we come back.
