Chapter 10

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 .
