CHAPTER 25
DEAR MRS...CHAPTER 25
LIYANA MAXHOSA
Have you ever been slaped across your face before? Do you know that ringing sound after a slap? It's exactly what happens to me when he says he wants a divorce from me. I've hanged on for so long trying and building. I did anything and everything to have this man, but this is the thanks I get? A fucken divorce? Because of a kid who knows nothing about love, family and compromises. I laugh shaking my head what is this man saying to me? He's humiliating me infront of his family again? I can't control the glass on my hand as I swing it towards her. He's fast on his feet and it lands on his stomach going down and breaking as my heart does.
He's looking at me with rage filled eyes. Before he turns to inspect her breaking my heart even further. How does one go from loving someone to loving someone else? I don't make sense I know but how can I when I feel like I'm drowning in a deep cold sea?
They're talking but I can't make out anything they're saying. I watch as the couple walks out hand in hand. I'd be damned before I let him play me this dirty. When I've calmed down I say my goodbyes and walk out even when the said tatazala doesn't want me to leave.
The drive to my place is long as my mind races, trying to find a solution to all this. All I know is that I'm not losing my husband not to her even. I park outside my house and walk in the kids are playing play station. Lucky them the get to spend time with their father.
"Boys please pack small bags for yourselves utamkhulu wenu uyanifuna." Zikho frowns looking at me. He has a smart mouth I know exactly what he's going to say.
"But dad asked us to go to mama's house." Okay I did not know that and they're definitely not going there.
"Yep I know but plans change. Makhulu Zolile is around so she wants to see you guys." That does the trick as they run up the stairs to pack. It doesn't take long they find their driver waiting for them i give him strict instructions.
It's dark by the time they drive out. I go to the garage getting a ten litter bottle filled with petrol. I walk out going to my car outside my house. I load it on the backseat and drive out heading to her house. It's a little after 7 when my phone rings ngutatazala. I park on the side of the road and answer him.
"Tata I'm sorry I just needed time alone." I tell him acting as though I'm crying. He sighs.
"Okay please think about the baby in whatever you do." Mxm bloody baby that isn't keeping my husband with me.
"Okay tata. Thank you for this." He acknowledges my thanks before dropping the call and driving off. I park at the back of their house for close to two hours before the lights downstairs are switched off. It takes another hour for their bedroom light to go off. I get my ten litter bottle and walk up the back. There's a short gate I jump over it and walk up to the house.
I cover all the exits with petrol then pour the remaining one on the front and back door there's definitely no way out. I light up everywhere and run to the back and try to jump over the fence when I hear voices in my panick I trip over the small gate and fall face down on my stomach hitting my head on something hard. The pain is excruciating it has me groaning as I feel something warm on my head and between my thighs. My baby!!
YAKHANANI KUHLE MAXHOSA
I'm watching her pretty self as she sleeps snoring slightly. I can feel myself getting hard again when I imagine her smart mouth down on Maxhosa omncinci. Our *** life is something I always look forward to. It's the smell that gets to me first. Like something is burning I get up from the bed walking to the big vast window. There's smoke and something crackling. I run to get my wife a robe and myself.
"Baby wake up the house is burning!!" She jumps out of bed getting the robe I can tell she's not fully awake yet. I get her hand and run down the passenger to the kids nursery Nina is awake panicking. I get their small blankets wetting them in their bathroom then we all wrap them around the kids before running down stairs.
The alarm is going off and the water sprinklers in the house are on even thought the fire is not inside yet. All the other exits are engulfed in flames.
"The garage door Kuhle." It totally slipped my mind and the smoke is getting worse with each second. We run to the kitchen and thank God the door is not locked. I get the keys to ibakkie grateful for my wife for getting it at my father's house. As we drive out of the garage the fire department is arriving. We don't have the gate remote with us I don't even know where my keys are.
"Take Mihla I'll go to the kitchen." Nise is shaking her head crying I hate seeing her like this but we have to open for the firefighters. I put her on my sit and run inside through the garage door. The house is a little darker with some but I find the switch pressing on it and get out coughing.
The minute she sees she smiles kissing me I know I'm loved when she does this. The firefighters get in sorting out the fire as the paramedics check the kids and us. If o had slept we would probably be telling a different story by now. My kids.
