CHAPTER 6
SNEAKY LINK#6
Mandilakhe parked outside the restaurant and got out opening the door for Endy. She got out and he closed the door locking the car.
They walked inside the restaurant hand in hand. He felt like a man is he watched some men watching them.
He got them a table and they sat down waiting for the waiter. He looked at her face and smiled. She's pretty and once she gets her own money he was sure she'd be prettier than this.
"So how's work?"
"Okay. I'm so tired of working there yazi. I just need something new."
"You should look into your career babe."
"No one is hiring HR babe if they're they want someone with experience and I don't have any."
"Maybe you should consider that idea you had of starting something of your own."
"Yeah I'm still saving and maybe I can apply for some funding."
"Yeah do that. My brother is into this Uber thing and it's working for him he bought his first car a few days back."
"That's good yazi. Kanene how many are you kokwenu?"
"3 boys our older brother is in the states doing car racing."
"You're a middle child?"
"Uh.hu."
"Must be nice."
.........
Nobantu sat in the lounge watching tv. It had been hours since he left and now she was starting to worry. She got up going to the bedroom to get her phone.
She saw headlights just as she was about to call him. She smiled walking back downstairs. The front door opened and her mother inlaw walked in pushing her suitcase.
"Yhoo sana i am so tired where's your husband?"
"He went to see his friends. I didn't know you were coming."
"Yeah I decided to come this side so I can be closer to the hospital until tata is discharged."
"Ohh okay. I didn't cook Mandy said he's going to get takeaways."
"Haaa Olunje day 1 as a married woman you're already starving my son! Hayi don't make me regret letting my son marry you."
"He's the one who said I shouldn't cook mama."
"Mmmh."
Mandy's mom walked to the kitchen and started cooking humming a song only known to her.
.........
Mandilakhe parked outside Endy's yard and kisses her. He smiled looking at her gorgeous face.
"I'll call you before going to bed."
"Please do. Bye I'll see you tomorrow."
"I don't think I'll be able to see you. I have this case I'm working on."
"It's fine you'll tell me when you're free."
She walked out of the car and walked inside her yard opening her door. Mandilakhe drove off checking the time.
It was a little after 9. They totally lost track of time in the restaurant. He rushed through the almost empty streets.
A while later he parked outside his house frowning upon seeing his mother's car. God what did she want now?
He parked his car and took the takeaways and got out locking it behind him. He walked inside the house.
"Baby!!"
"In the lounge!"
He walked in the lounge and kisses her putting the takeaway on the table. Nobantu frowned at the feminine perfume on him.
"You smell different."
"Probably from the restaurant. Tomorrow a friend of mine is hosting a braai I want you to come with."
"Babe you know I'm almost 9 months pregnant right?"
"Yes we won't stay long I just want you to meet my friends."
"Okay but look at how ugl..."
"Ha.a you don't ever call yourself ugly when you're this beautiful. You're carrying my heir in there."
"You're just being sweet baby."
"No I'm talking the truth you're beautiful. The most beautiful girl in the world."
"Thank you baby. Go and check on your mother she's in the kitchen cooking."
"She didn't say anything hurtful to you right?"
"No she just said I'm starving you."
"Don't mind her. Just relax your pretty self I'll take care of you."
He got up and walked to the kitchen. He kissed his mother who frowned at him.
"You smell like a woman."
"I know mama I was with Batsatsi and her husband."
"Ohh how is she anyways? I haven't seen her in ages."
"She's okay. She just opened a daycare centre in Amalinda."
"Ohh that's good."
