Chapter 38
KGOTHATSO .CHAPTER : 38 .
She walks downstairs and glances at Mandla who's eating cereal ..
Kgothatso : my husband may be the most dramatic man on earth .
She says in a low tone ..
Kgothalo : I think he's hurt but he's transforming the pain into anger .
Kgothatso : I wish he knew what I felt .
Kgothalo : do you know how he feels ?
Kgothatso : he doesn't open up .
Kgothalo : are you opening up ?
She sighs lightly .
Samkele : are you still coming with me to the spa ?
Kgothatso : yeah ..
Samkele : okay I'll go choose my outfit in the meantime , you eat breakfast .
Kgothatso : why are you eating cereal ?
Mandlawenkosi : I should be asking you that , I have a wife that I paid R300K lobola yet she can't get up in the morning and perform her wifely duties .
Kgothalo : bro ..
Mandlawenkosi : your sister is something else .
Kgothatso frowns and shakes her head .
Kgothatso : I'm gonna vomit in this house I swear .
Kgothalo : you both are acting childish .
Kgothatso : as if I asked him to pay the 300K , sies .
She walks to the kitchen and grabs a bowl , she makes cereal for herself and sits on the counter wiggling her legs .
Kgothalo : what the **** is wrong with you both ?
Kgothatso : Mandlawenkosi is childish .
Kgothalo : why can't you sit down and talk like adults ? Why are you fighting each other ?
Kgorhatso : I'm not fighting , he's the one who's fighting and blowing everything out of proportion . I'm the one who's gonna carry the child and give birth to her/him . Imagine how I'm feeling right now ..
Kgothalo : but he's the father of the child also , he's feeling pain .
She sighs ..
Kgothatso : you're literally defending Mandlawenkosi right now .
Kgothalo : I dont want to take sides , you know I've never supported you where you were wrong and I don't want to encourage you to always think you're right .
Kgothatso : hmm , i hear you .
Kgothalo : you love him ?
Kgothatso : I love him alot , i love him beyond words .
Kgothalo : fix this ..
She nods lightly ..
Kgothatso : he irritates me because he acts like a Bachelorette when he's mad , he goes around drinking and gets lipsticks on him .
Kgothalo : I heard about the little situation .
Kgothatso : i don't like it when he gets angry with me because then , we can't connect emotionally and sexually .
Kgothalo : sexually ?
Kgothatso : I'm sexually frustrated .
Kgothalo : you don't sound like you were a virgin for 25 years straight .
Kgothatso : my husband's good magical stick makes me like this , its not me .
He makes a face ..
Kgothalo : you don't need to tell me that .
Kgothatso : I'm explaining to you , just like how you always explain to me about your wife's special qualities.
Kgothalo : ah Kgothatso **** you ..
He says walking out as she laughs , she finishes eating and places the bowl down . She walks out of the kitchen and goes to where Mandla is sitting ..
She sits on the table as he frowns .
Mandlawenkosi : you don't do that .
Kgothatso : lets talk .
Mandlawenkosi : i really don't want to talk Kgothatso .
Kgothatso : communication is key .
Mandlawenkosi : funny how you still remember that but couldn't even open up to me . Weird ....
Kgothatso : I think I was wrong ..
Mandlawenkosi : you think ?
Kgothatso : okay I was wrong ..
She sighs ..
Kgothatso : I feel disconnected to you , may I sit on your lap ?
Mandlawenkosi : where is Kgothalo ?
Kgothatso : I think he's in the bathroom or something .
He nods , she repositions and sits on his lap..
Kgothatso : how do you feel ?
Mandlawenkosi : I feel hurt , betrayed and angry . You saw something that's going to affect the both of us and the only person you thought of telling was Kgothalo , i get that he's your twin and you share a veey special bond but I'm your husband Kgothie , I want you to vent out to me . I want you to tell me everything good and bad that happens to you .
Kgothatso : I hear you and i respect you for being honest .
Mandlawenkosi : i feel sad because you're about to be pregnant with a child that we won't even get to see or raise . That's the most hurtful thing , I'm hurt ... I'm not ready to experience the moment that our child departures from your body as a stillborn . The thought of that moment just fucks me up .
She nods .
Mandlawenkosi : I don't even know how you feel because you're acting like you're okay .
Kgothatso : i am okay .
Mandlawenkosi : you're not , you're acting as a strong woman yet you're about to face the biggest fear of every woman's life . I don't know how you feel inside because you don't let me in .
She nods lightly ...
Kgothatso : I'm still learning and trusting the process .
Mandlawenkosi : i understand .
Kgothatso : I feel more connected to you right now , because you're able to be open like this to me even though you just annoyed me about the whole R300K thing .
He chuckles .
Mandlawenkosi : I didn't mean that , I was just irritated . Everything is so confusing .
Kgothatso : I know ..
Mandlawenkosi : I don't want to be on bad terms with you , I hate that . I can't even get any time with you now .
Kgothatso : and I'm sexually frustrated .
He chuckles ..
Mandlawenkosi : Samkele is here .
Kgothatso : the walls are sound proof .
Mandlawenkosi : I'm not going to work ..
Kgothatso : but I am going to the spa thingie so see you when I come back .
He plants a kiss on her lips and she smiles ..
Kgothatso : I'm sorry .
Mandlawenkosi : I'm sorry too , and I love you .
Kgothatso : love you more .
