FIFTEEN.
**BOKANG**
.
My body was in pain when I woke up in the morning. Pulane was still sleeping peacefully and I didn't want to wake her up so I quietly got out of bed and went downstairs.
.
Me: Good morning
Ma: Good morning papa
Gigi: Morning daddy. What would you like for breakfast?
Me: I'm still fine
Ma: Did you sleep well?
Me: I was in pain but nothing I can't handle
Gigi: Come sit next to me
Me: When is your next appointment?
Gigi: Appointment?
Me: Yeah your appointment with the gynae
Gigi: Oh I'm not sure but I'll check my diary
Me: I want to be there
Gigi: I don't think that's necessary because you're still recovering and you need bed rest
Me: I'm fine, Gigi
Gigi: Oh okay I'll let you know then
Ma: How's Pulane feeling today?
Me: She's still sleeping, why?
Ma: She wasn't feeling okay yesterday
Me: She didn't tell me that she's sick
Ma: She was throwing up yesterday
Me: Really? But why didn't she tell me?
Gigi: Maybe because she's just looking for attention
Me: Why would she look for attention when I'm already giving her all my attention?
Gigi: You should be focusing on our baby
Me: When are you leaving?
Gigi: Well ...
Me: I'm fine now and I think it's time you left
Gigi: After Christmas
Me: Shouldn't you be spending time with your family?
Gigi: Oh come on, daddy. Why do you have to be so sour?
Me: You're making my woman uncomfortable with your presence so please excuse us
Gigi: I'll go after Christmas
Me: Please
Gigi: Yoh!
.
I poured myself a glass a juice and sat on the couch. Pulane shortly joined us
.
Pulane: Good morning
Ma: Morning baby
Me: Good morning my love. How did you sleep?
Pulane: I slept fine knowing you're right next to me
Gigi: Arg please
Me: Baby why didn't you tell me that you're not feeling okay yesterday?
Me: Because I didn't want to worry you and it was nothing serious
Gigi: Attention seeker
Me: Will you shut up, Gigi? No one is talking to you
Gigi: Come on, Bokang. Can't you see what she's doing?
Me: I don't care what she does. She stills comes first no matter what
Gigi: Even before our baby?
Me: Yes even before our baby. Pulane is here to stay and it's about time you start respecting her because whatever she says goes
Gigi: Hayi
Pulane: Baby what is she still doing here?
Me: I'll fix it my love I promise
Pulane: Yoh Bokang I can't. So much disrespect
Me: Bear with me my love
Pulane: Can I make you something to eat?
Me: Just corn flakes sweetheart
Gigi: I thought you said you're fine when I offered
Me: A man can always change his mind
Gigi: Mmh!
.
Gigi stood up and walked out of the room. We had breakfast and Pulane helped me shower as I couldn't wash my back because of the pain. She then dressed my wound and we went to sit outside in the garden while we fed each other fruits
.
Me: You know I'm really pissed that the police haven't said anything
Pulane: Are you surprised? I mean look at what happened to my grandma and still they haven't said anything
Me: It's messed up
Pulane: You know Ma thought your father is involved
Me: What? How because he's not in the country?
Pulane: I don't know
Me: What happened showed me that life is short and I need to cherish the little moments we spend together
Pulane: I can't believe I almost lost you
Me: I'll always be here baby
.
We sat for hours and talked
.
**GIGI**
.
I couldn't stand the two of them laughing and having fun outside so I had to come up with plan B. I decided to call John for a meetup and he agreed. We met after an hour in town
.
John: You really need to stop calling me for secret meetings
Me: Your men did a sloppy job and now I don't know how to fix the mess
John: What do you want me to do?
Me: I need something quick and effective
John: Something like what?
Me: Poison
.
He laughed at me like I was crazy or something
.
John: Wait you're serious?
Gigi: Like a heart attack
John: But it'll be obvious
Gigi: That's why I need you to find me something that's quick and untraceable
John: I'm not a doctor, Gigi
Gigi: Make a plan, Johnny
John: Why don't you just kill her yourself?
Gigi: And lose Bokang?
John: I'll see what I can do then
Gigi: He wants to accompany me to the gynae and I don't know what to do
John: You want me to buy the doctor too?
Gigi: No that'll be too complicated. I need to fall pregnant for real or else I'll fake a miscarriage
John: Fall pregnant how because he doesn't want you anymore?
Gigi: I don't know, John. Can't you see I'm stressed as it is?
John: I'll make a plan but this is for the very last time
Gigi: Please I need it ASAP
John: I need time
Gigi: Fine but bring it before Christmas
John: I need to go before someone we know sees us
.
I went back home and I couldn't wait to eliminate her. She was all over Bokang and I hated it because it should have been me. They were watching TV and cuddling and I just passed them
.
BK: Hey G aren't you gonna join us?
Me: No
BK: Look I've been thinking, since you're no longer in Joburg I thought it'll be best if you see another gynae
Me: Why?
BK: To cut the distance
Me: I like my own gynae
BK: Okay then have you checked your diary yet?
Me: Not yet
BK: What's the delay?
Me: Give me a breather, Bokang
BK: What's the matter with you?
Me: Ever since you woke up from the hospital you've never asked how I am? This whole thing affected me too but all you care about is her
BK: Of course all I care about is her. You killed our baby the last time and I'm not going to get my hopes up this time for something that might disappoint me
Me: I didn't make this baby on my own and I'm sick of being put second
BK: If you have a problem with me putting my woman first then there's the door. I don't remember inviting you to my house so pack your things and go
Me: Oh is this how you want it to be?
BK: Why not?
Me: Wow!
Pulane: Calm down both of you, please
BK: No baby. She needs to be put in her place because she's getting too big for her shoes
Me: I'm going to bed
BK: Whatever works for you
.
My heart was pounding fast and I needed to up my game. I couldn't watch her get all the attention so I faked it all and pretended to faint.
