Zikho let go of the wine glass and slouched down to the couch crying. She sobbed out loud as her mother's words rang in her ear.
"I was wrong for introducing your sister to Thapelo. I still regret that move because it drifted you feather away from you but I'm happy Thapelo and your sister are together. I don't know what to do Zikho?!! I failed you as a mother I failed myself and became selfish. I know you Zikho you'd have broken Thapelo the same way you did to those other guys I couldn't let that happen. I'm sorry I became selfish. I'm sorry you felt like I only favoured your sister but it's not the case. With Zikhona I don't have to shout for her to listen but with you it's different you always leave me wanting to pull my hair out and die. Please get help Zikho you need help. You shouldn't think for yourself only you have a daughter now. Be better for her and do her better than I did to you. "
Her mother walked up to her and embraced her brushing her back in a soothing manner.
"I love you. I love you so much it hurts me everytime I see you like this. Please get help my child."
"I'll get help. Will you support me?"
"Every step of the way. I love you sana lwam I'll leave the rest of my life showing you how much I love you."
"I have to apologize to my sister mama she's probably blaming herself for my outburst."
"Okay tomorrow now let's get you to sleep."
...........
Early morning Endy's phone rang on the pedestal. She took it and answered with her eyes still closed.
"Hello?"
"Mam you're speaking to Rachel from Empire Hotel. There's a problem that needs you or Mr Lukhele but we can't reach him on the phone please come down here."
"God okay Rachel I'll be there by midday."
"Thank you mam."
She dropped the call and sighed where the hell was that idiot Sandile. She got up and searched for a flight out. She booked a ticket and went on to shower.
Within 30 minutes she was ready. She requested an uber as she walked to the door locking behind her. She walked outside to the waiting Uber. She gets in the back and it drives off.
She called her little sister as the cab driver drove off to the airport .
"Endy hy Akhona is not here she left her phone behind."
"Okay KB please tell her I'm going to Cape Town for a day or two there are things that need me there."
"She'll be disappointed but yeah I'll tell her."
"Thank you sbali."
"Ehh Endy?"
"Yeah."
"Are you happy with him?"
"Yes I am."
"That's good don't settle for less you deserve all that's good."
"Thank you."
She dropped the call and sighed as the uber drove her to the airport.

Mandilakhe smiled as he looked at the little boy he's a father of three now soon to be four. He didn't see himself fathering kids with different mothers but he was happy none the less.
"God he looks so much like you Mandy. Not even my eyes."
"Baby change Milisa by the time he's 4 he'll look like one of us even though I'm praying he takes after me."
"Mxm your phone is ringing."
He walked to where it was and took it smiling as he saw his mother calling.
"Mama."
"Hey Mandy have you seen Lakhe? I can't get ahold of him."
"No I'll go check him at his place. Milisa gave birth."
"Ohh is it a girl?"
"No a boy."
"What's with your boys and so many boy kids? I'll come by this coming week to see them."
"Okay mama please tell utata as well."
"Okay boy. "
"Mama."
"Nkwenkwe."
"Ndiyakuthanda uyeva?"
"Ndiyakuthanda nam boy."
Mandilakhe dropped his phone smiling from ear to ear. Milisa looked at him with her own smile only if she could have the whole of him.
