CHAPTER 21
SNEAKY LINK#21
Later that day Mandilakhe walked inside his house. He found Nobantu helping his son with spelling.
"Hy."
"Hy."
It went awkward for a few seconds before he walked to the couch sitting next to her. She shifted a little from him and he sighed.
"I'm sorry I know I've been s..."
The front door opened and they both frowned at the woman walking in. Mandilakhe got up looking at Pearl.
"Hey sorry for not knocking I'm just excited."
"Doc what are you doing here?"
"I came to see my man. Baby look I did the tests we're pregnant!!"
Mandilakhe looked at his wife then at Pearl. He grabbed Pearls hand and dragged her out of his house. Once outside the yard he turned to look at her eyes filled with rage.
"What was that in my house with my wife Pearl?"
"Hayi Mandilakhe two years of being a side chick I'm tired."
"You were never my side chick Pearl. You told me you wanted me as your sneaky link that's exactly what I was and you were to me nothing more and if you're pregnant get rid of it and stay away from my house."
Mandilakhe walked inside his yard locking his gate. Pearl wipes her tears as she got inside her car driving off.
She felt her heart break she'd thought he was also feeling as she felt. He gave her all the signs. She took her phone calling her cousin.
"How did it go?"
"He flat out told me we were just sneaky linking. For two years mma a whole two years."
"I told you to not do this sneaky nton nton yakho. You don't learn Pearl. You're beautiful mntase you'll get someone who loves you. Leave these guys alone."
"But I love him mntase. You don't know how that man takes care of me it's amazing."
"He's the same guy who's still hung up on his ex. Yhoo mna I'm done talking. Indlela ongenatiming ngayo I even doubt you're Xhosa. Udlisi team straight ngoku."
Her cousin dropped the call leaving her sobbing. She parked her car on the side of the road and cried looking at the pregnancy test. She wasn't going to terminate her child. Not ever.
.............
Mandilakhe walked inside his house. Nobantu got up looking at him she was mad that he could tell. His son wasn't anywhere insight.
"What was that Mandilakhe? So now you bring your hoes in my house?!"
"Stop screaming babe. I'm sorry about that I swear to God I didn't bring her here. Please sit down so we can talk calmly."
"Do you know that I went to Endinako's house to confront her thinking you're sleeping with her? Why are you doing all this Mandilakhe?"
"I'm sorry about everything."
"What's everything?"
"For sleeping with her. I jus... Babe our marriage is not the same anymore. You got pregnant shortly after our still born. I know of understood that but when you got pregnant again when our son only turned 10 months I jus didn't understand what the aim is. You don't want to have *** with me. Do you remember the last time we had ***? It was 6 months ago even then you were just laying there emotionless. I need more than that. I need more than a wife to cook, iron and clean after me. I want someone who can also take care of my sexual needs. Can we work on that? Remember when I said I want us to travel? I still want that with you please give us a chance. I want to do things better this time. I'm sorry baby please."
"You're the same person who never does for play with me. You just expect me to be wet how? Please be fair. How many times have I complained to you about our *** life? You never listen to me that's the problem. I saw the texts you sent to your brother saying you're embarrassed to travel with me because I'm ugly. Why did you marry me then? It's been two years never once have you answered me when I asked about our white wedding. You don't sleep at home but you expect me to wash your clothes, clean after you, cook and still have time to be raped by you. I stopped having *** with you because you don't care about me you only care about your happy ending."
