MaZungu : Ha. A dont get into my head wena i slept alone without my husband im not feeling okay. (just then Sengwayo entered the living room) 

 Sengwayo : it serves you right awukawazi uhlonipa. 

Mazungu:im your mother dont speak to me like that. 

Sengwayo: oh okay ke anyway enjoy your punishment and dont even think of flying to Capetown you'll make things worse. 

MaZungu: Yah, yah i know, but Mqhele i cant even breath. 

Sengwayo : Nyani isencinci kele uyaziyo do you know he gave away all your clothes? Yah ne honer your husbands.. Thembalam masambe mylove siyolala.( he says taking my hand into his. We walked into the room. Ow my gosh) 

 

Me : Baby wenzele mna. This is so beautiful njena babe. ( my babe had red candles all over the room with a red, pink decor and snacks and wine. Soft music playing in the background if this is not love i dont know what it is. I turned and looked at him 

Me: My love this is beautiful thank you. Im so loving the colors 

Sengwayo : And here your car keys. It's packed at your garage in cape town. For now come to daddy let me show you one love. 

 

Im now officially a Zungu wife. We just finished taking a bath. My nuna is on fire i cant even walk properly i looked at him and he just looked away okay what's up. I walk towards him. 

 

Me: Sengwayo 

Sengwayo : Thembalam. You know i love and respect you. Not even once i have raise my voice or talk to you like you don't matter. But you did, you spoke to me like im a dog. You disrespected me the worse part is that you were on loudspeaker lucky that is was only Dave and Lwandle that heard you. 

Me: Am Zungu bendisithi waxola njena 

Sengwayo :yebo mkam ndaxola kodwa andilibali and lento yokuthi ubupavela umaZungu for what she was doing umengosineka caba kumandi. 

Me: but your dad was entertaining other women... 

Sengwayo :Uyazibona futhi. 

Me:Xolo mnyeni wam. 

Sengwayo : wakhuluma amazwi athi even nalo punishment yakho wont matter. 

Me: ndiyaxolisa njena sthandwa. Yinto yakudala futhi lena singeka shadi. 

Sengwayo : i know. Pack my suitecase i need to take a call. 

Me: haibo usuyaphi ke manje Sengwayo sisa khuluma nje 

Sengwayo : ndiqibile mna. Mr Masele- Zungu lo ( he spoke to the phone while going out.) 

 

 Hayi no i dont know really we were fine with Sengwayo just after the beautiful session we had me giving myself to him giving him my everything but still he doesnt see that yena ubona ukungamhloniphi kwam. I got dressed quickly and packed our bags i was seating on the bed when he came back all smiles. 

 

Sengwayo :are you done the flight leave at 6 so have to go. 

Me: Yima nsayo valelisa endlini. 

Sengwayo : Saying goodbye, where are you going? 

Me: a haibo what do you mean where im going?we are going back home njena. 

Sengwayo : Ow no dear wife I'm going home wena uhlala lana ufunde intlonipho. 

Me: I do respect you nje mylove i dont know what youre talking about. You see what you're doing it is not right . We are suppose to seat down and talk not just pulling out orders of what should be done and not. 

Sengwayo: You, even now im talking to you. Ndiyayibeka nawe uyayibeka umthetho wakho ikhanda igcwele upelepele ngempela. You will stay here u Gogo u Ntozabantu will come here and teach you how to treat your husband and how you hold yourself as a wife not lo jikeleza wenziwayo apha endlini. Ngoba yindlalo le anzoba nomfazi oyindoda mina. Even yesterday ube umamatheka upavela MaZungu ngento ayenzile... 

Me:So i mustn't ask you questions if i feel like it. You control my life everyday since the day you came into mylife uphethe remote control directing me left and right. 

Sengwayo : Buka namanje undingena emlonyeni.. 

Me:Becouse you want to do this all by yourself you dont talk to me. This decision you have taken you could have spoken to me about it but no not u Mqhele you do things that you want to do you dont care ukuthi how i feel about it. Just the other you almost died infront of my eyes if i didnt think quickly. You avoided everything to do with that night. When i asked you to tell me uzothi mandiyeke akho nto while i saw a strong man my man half paralyzed he couldn't even talk. But ndathula and i moved on. I almost lost my life nalonto i dont get to question you ndathula becouse im this stupid wife you want me to be. Even now you will say im disrespecting you cause i called you by your name, well Mqhele i want you to listen to me and actually hear me as your wife i deserve respect. 

Sengwayo : Wow you see the way you're speaking to me like im your friend maybe a month here will do you good. 

Me:Just leave Sengwayo. Just know my heart will be longing for you. 

Sengwayo : my heart beats for you. Sale kahle. 

And am... Dont call me just sms. 

Me : Mxm.... 

 

I walk out the room to the house i went to drink water tears were falling like rain. I feel like i married a andiva ngomfazi sana like how can he punish me ngento eyenzeke kudala as if akaxoli yena as a man. So we hold amaqubu to one another i wonder who will teach him to be a man. Phofu what am i talking about his father does the same he just left without addressing his wife out. And naye his doing the same thing. Yazi only God knows lento ndingene kuyo becouse i dont know.. I was about to cook when i heard MaZungu calling me 

 

Me:Mama 

MaZungu: Im going to drive ndiya goduka ndiya ebhayi if he wants me uzondifumana ekhaya. Okoo nxa izinto zingahambi kakuhle he will dump me here nala gogo wakhe we shori. Not this time shame im gone. Do you have R2000 with you that man blocked my cards. 

Me:I do have it. ( my father gave me R30 000 cash wathi if uyakunyeka ukhwele ugoduke) but nzosheka ndedwa kulendlu inkulu kangaka. 

MaZungu:Sisi nguwe uMakoti kukwakho apha so do you sana. Im gone mna. There are clubs and resorts around here just enjoy everything before la Gogo afike otherwise uzonya sistress. 

Me: caba uthenjiwe loma gogo shame. Cause u Sengwayo said shes coming to teach me my wifely duties. 

 

 We laughed i walked to my room when i entered i saw my phone and his wallet and with hard cash i took R3000 out and went to give it to MaZungu after that. Yhuuu akwathuleka wonke kaloku umntu umkile kusheke mna uGcinaumzi pewu into esizifaka kuzo. As i was busy watching tv i heard a intercom. 

 

Me: Yes. 

Dave: Its Dave open up. 

Me: sure... 

 

I walked to the door i wonder uzothini at this time of the night time is around 6. 

 

Me: sana youre my bodyguard wena

Me: sana you take your wife everywhere you go. 

Dave: Ewe yhuuu ndingafa if umntuwam akekho ecaleni kwam Me: I wish umnyeni wam ebenjalo. 

Dave: He is like that 

Me: His showing you guys that but to me yi... Look wait here let me freshn up ndi dikwe nangaala dhaki. 

 I cant wait to see your wife maybe ndibeyi friend yakhe. 

Dave : Ow i doubt my wife is really tamed asazi ke kodwa. 

 

As i was changing into my brown attire i sms came in from that man i call husband ' enjoy your night out' i didnt reply asoze aloku we can't be all smiles while we are not okay injani na lendoda umntu uqhayisele kukundina imali thinking it will sort things out well it did not. We went out he packed the car and his wife came out.  

 

Her : Ow kodwa ebusuku kangaka Dave. Come you are so beautiful. 

Me: Hi, how are you. 

Her: Ow silly me im not used to having a visitor im so excited (i looked at Dave this woman looks like shes 27 but shes excited ngoba ndilapha.) Im Kwakhanya please come in you look so beautiful. 

Me: Am thank you, you're beautiful yourself. i needed to go out before i go crazy in that big house.  

Khanya :Babe are you eating with us? 

Dave:no I'll come back at 9 i have some work to take care of. I love you always 

Kwakhanya:Forever loving you. 

 

He walked out. I look around this is a nice house its an open plan very homely and warm. 

 

Khanya: Come this side i was already dishing up. 

So how's married life treating you. 

Me: Hayi Khanya whats up with you? ( she just cries) okay please dont cry whats going on. 

Khanya : its been 5 years married to Dave and you're the first woman his comfortable with. Since we got married wandisusa ezitshomini he said i cant be married and have unmarried friends. Its like i dont have life without him.dont get me wrong i Love my husband but its like im trapped. 

Me: Where you always like this? 

Khanya: What mna i was your go to girl we meet at the Vina Club after 3 weeks of being with him everything changed . It was worse when we got married he came with Gog Ntozabantu ow i hate that woman im like this becouse of her, she will say i dont love my husband everything that went wrong she will say im the problem and i will actually see that im the problem. ( she wipes her tears) am sorry look at me bubbling about my problems to you. 

Me: no its okay. Now that you are saying all these things you are saying they dont shock me. Its what Mqhele has been doing all along. I haven't seen my friends for months. I dont go out anymore. He took my phone the day of the welcoming and he gave it to me when he was leaving today.. And now he... No ways i refuse look can you uber for me? 

Khanya: With what phone? (she laughed) 

 

Ow hell no this could never be me. I refuse shame never. We kept on talking telling her about my life and what i loved to do and im no longer doing it. And we had a wonderful conversation even the food was nice. Dave entered the house and went to give his wife a kiss. 

 

Me:Its a good thing youre here im so tired now. I had a wonderful evening with khanya but now take me home mister. Am Khanya before i go please give me your numbers girl we need to go out for lunch. 

Khanya: I would love a lunch, but i don't h... 

Dave: I'll send you her numbers tomorrow morning its a new phone so she doesn't know her numbers. 

Me:Very well then. Hope to see more of you. Now i have a friend in you. 

Khanya: Friend its been years since i had one of those. Bye MaZungu. 

 

We shared a hug and Dave drove me home i went to my room had a shower and fixed my things. I downloaded uber in my phone. And a packed a small bag with my money and toiletries. 

 

Tomorrow is coming.. I cant do this...
