CHAPTER 52
SNEAKY LINK#52
The following day Zikho watches as Sands finishes up dressing. He didn't propose like she thought he would. They even came back early only to sleep with no love making at all.
"Baby we are okay right?"
"Yeah we're fine is there something wrong?"
"No I was just asking."
She kept quiet and looked up the ceiling. When was he going to propose? She turned to look at him.
"Yazi I don't even know what you do?"
"I own a restaurant."
"Ohh you should take me there to see it."
"I will. Let me get going baby."
"I love you."
"Me too. I might be back late today I'm not sure."
Sands walks out of the house going to his car. He drives off heading to the mall. He parks outside and walks out.
Meanwhile Andile turned to look at the big car that just parked next to her father's car. She frowns looking at Sandile talking on the phone.
She walks over to him as he walks inside Earth child. She smiles tapping his shoulder.
"Please Akhona... She needs these things today... I'm at Earth child right now... okay I'll wait..."
He drops the call looking at Andile with a frown on his face it transforms to a smile when he sees who it is.
"Andile!! Damn it's been ages."
"I know right. How are you?"
She asks basking in his arms. He pulls out of the hug smiling at her. He puts his phone back on his pocket.
"I'm good. It's so good seeing you."
"Likewise. I see you're not married yet."
"Ohh I'm still planning a proposal it's hard to plan these things but by the end of this week I'll be a taken man."
"She's a lucky girl."
"I'm the lucky one."
"Hey I got here as soon as I could. Kabelo said you should stop this thing of yours."
"Sorry. Here's the list I don't know half of these things. It was nice seeing you Andile."
"Okay. Akhona what ar..."
Akhona walked away getting a trolley. Andile swallows walking away.

Nomsa walks inside the hospital with the help of Xhanti. A nurse comes with a stretcher. They help her to sit on it and wheel her away.
"Are you feeling any pains?"
"Yes just not as hard as I thought."
"Okay."
"Babe I'll get you something to eat. What should I get for you?"
"KFC twister."
"Okay I'll be back right now."
He walked away just as his phone rang. He looked at his ex wife calling and sighed.
"Hello."
"Mye... Mholo ehh I'm calling regarding the baby. Has she delivered?"
"No not yet we're at the hospital right now."
"Okay please allow me to help her for at least 2 months."
"I'll have to talk to her."
"I know you love her. I long knew there was someone else I was just in denial. You haven't slept with me in 3 years. I knew that... I.. I'm..."
"I'm sorry I put you through that. I know I should've long told you the truth."
"It's fine. I'll wait for your call."
.........
Zikho walks inside Nobantu's house holding her daughter. Nobantu smiles at her getting up from the couch.
"Hey I wasn't expecting to see you here."
"I was bored so I thought I should come by."
"Sit. Should I get you something to drink."
"Yes juice is fine."
Nobantu walks to the kitchen getting a jug of juice from the fridge and two glasses before walking back to the lounge.
She pours juice for the both of them and sit down taking Zikho's daughter and playing with her.
"You don't seem okay. What is wrong?"
"It's my relationship with her father. That man is not saying anything about marriage."
"You know how man are. He's probably still not sure about marriage but I know he loves you."
"You think? His mother doesn't like me. Can you believe she didn't even want to help me with my daughter."
"That woman hates everyone. She doesn't like me either but kemna I don't care about her I didn't come to this marriage for her anyways."
"How do you do it?"
"Mind my own business."
