KGOTHATSO .CHAPTER : 10 .
— EVENING ..
He breathes heavily , losing his breath . He sits up with a heavy chest trying to take his phone .
Zobuhle : I'm finished packing ..
He shuts his eyes groaning in pain , she smirks a bit .
Zobuhle : what's wrong with you ?
Mandlawenkosi : K..Kgothatso ..
Zobuhle : what about her ? you want me to call her ?
He nods .
Zobuhle : (chuckles) so you're basically nothing without her ? what if I don't call her ?
Mandlawenkosi : p..please .
Zobuhle : I don't know .. I really don't know if I should call her . I just don't know ..

— KGOTHATSO'S MANSION , SANDHURST .
She bursts out in tears holding her chest ...
Kgothatso : Mandla ..
She holds her phone shaking , she dials Kgothalo's number ..
Kgothalo : hey ..
Kgothatso : something's wrong , Kgothalo something is wrong ..
Kgothalo : what's wrong ?
Kgothatso : I need to go to Mandla ..
She says crying ..
Kgothalo : I'm coming .
She drops the phone and cries out loudly
Kgothatso : please don't let anything happen to him ..
She closes her eyes , her heart beating fast . The pain getting worse .... after a while , Kgothalo parks the car and runs inside ..
Kgothalo : Kgothatso !
He runs upstairs and goes to her room , he finds her sweating in bed .
Kgothalo : God what happened to you ?
Kgothatso : lets go please ..
He carries her out of bed and runs out , once he reaches outside . He places her in the car and jumps infront . He starts the engine and drives off in speed .
Kgothalo : what's his address ?
Kgothatso : it's on my phone .
Kgothalo : okay ..
He grabs her phone and turns on the GPS . Once it's all set , he drives off to Sandhurst .

— 45 Minutes Later ..
He drives in once the security guard opens for him , he parks the car and jumps off . He then carries her out and walks inside ..
Kgothatso : i don't know the code ...
He rings the bell multiple times as Zobuhle walks down the stairs ..
Zobuhle : who is it knocking on my door at this time ?!
She walks to the door and opens ..
Zobuhle : what's up ?
She glances at Kgothatso who's breathing heavily and sweating ...
Zobuhle : what's happening ?
Kgothalo : where's Mandla ?
Only then , it hits her ..
Zobuhle : so she's my husband's future wife ?
Kgothalo : please .. let us in .
Zobuhle : why ?!
Kgothatso : you're letting him lose his life , stop this ..
Zobuhle : first you take my man away from me and you tell me I'm letting him lose his life ?
Kgothatso : Kgothalo !
He pushes Zobuhle out of the way as she falls down and screams a little . Kgothalo rushes upstairs and they search for Mandla's room . They walk in as he puts her down . She falls down on her knees unable to walk ..
Kgothatso : Mandla ...
She crawls to Mandla who's still breathing heavily .. he opens his eyes glancing at her . She places her hands on his arm ..
Kgothatso : what did she do to you ??
Mandlawenkosi : I don't know ..
She buries her head in the bed rubbing his arm as she winces .. she holds his arm tightly and chants their clan names . Zobuhle stands by the door watching her crying ..
Zobuhle : this is a joke ..
Kgothalo glances at her ..
Kgothalo : are you the little girlfriend ?
Zobuhle : I was gonna be his fiance .
Kgothalo : tough luck ..
She takes off the bracelet on the left hand side and puts it on him ..
Kgothatso : you're gonna be fine ..
He calms down a bit as she also calms down ..
Kgothatso : Mandlawenkosi ..
Mandlawenkosi : I'm okay .
Kgothatso : you must be careful around the people you associate yourself , you almost lost your life .
Mandlawenkosi : I will ..
Kgothatso glances at Zobuhle ..
Kgothatso : I can hurt you if I want to but that's not the purpose of my gift . You made a sin and you'll get punished for it .
Zobuhle : I did nothing !
Kgothatso : you can be punished for lying as well , you're interfering with a bond that was created by the ancestors . Your spiritual self isn't aligning with Mandla's spirit . He's not the one for you therefore , quit whatever you're planning to do . It won't end well ..
Mandlawenkosi : Zobuhle please leave ..
Zobuhle : I'm still wondering , if she wasn't here . If she wasn't even a healer , would she have been able to save you ?
Mandlawenkosi : I still stand by my word .
She clicks her tongue and walks out ...
Kgothalo : how is he ?
Kgothatso : he's weak , whatever she did to him was powerful .
Kgothalo : so what are you going to do ?
Mandlawenkosi : please don't go ..
He says slowly taking deep breaths , she glances at him as a tear drops and she wipes it off .
Mandlawenkosi : please ..
Kgothatso : I'll stay the night .
Mandlawenkosi : you can also stay , it's not safe driving around at this time .
Kgothalo : thank you ..
Kgothatso : where's the girl ?
Kgothalo : I think she's downstairs or something .
Kgothatso : I'll be back ..
She stands up and walks downstairs , she finds Zobuhle downstairs pacing up and down .
Kgothatso : you're still here ?
She quickly turns around and glances at her .
Zobuhle : what do you mean I'm still here ? this is my boyfriend's house.
Kgothatso : I'm not going to argue , I'm going to be Mandla's wife this upcoming weekend and in some way , when we're married . This ..
She says glancing all around the house .
Kgothatso : this is my house .
Zobuhle : are you mad ?
Kgothatso : I will not have you disrespect me in my house , that .. I won't tolerate . That little stunt you've just pulled , attempting to kill Mandla .. it doesn't work . When Mandla cries , I cry . When he laughs , i feel alot better . When he feels pain , I feel pain so there's no way I'll not come to his rescue . I'm a wife , soon to be wife you could say and a wife should protect her husband at all times , same goes for her husband . So if you think you're gonna stand there with your wicked heart and evil intentions . You've got another thing coming , I am here for a reason after all .
She swallows hard .
Kgothatso : just so you know , after this Saturday , I'll be known as Kgothatso , Mandlawenkosi' Ndlovu's wife , deal with it .
