Chapter:15

Zodwa

Things are slowly going back to normal.
We are slowly recovering the money we lost.
Our tavern is slowly generating money since it's festive season.
Xola couldn't find what happened to our money or it's either he used that money with his sluts.
He must pray I don't find the real reason,
why we lost our money because he will know he messed with the wrong person
I will let anyone know, how he is raping his own niece.
So he must thread carefully with me and not get in my bad books.
This days Manzini seem happy, she is not depressed like we know her.
She is not even angry anymore that we are getting her married to her own uncle.
She was busy with dough
Zodwa:What are you doing?
Manzini:Magwinya aunty,malume said I must do them
This days she is too much obident to Xola
What if she takes my husband from me?and keep him for herself all alone.
Zodwa:Are you trying to impress myeni wami by all of this?
Manzini:Cha aunty I'm just doing what malume told me to do
Zodwa:Shut up and listen carefully ntadane because I won't repeat myself,Xola is my husband and he loves me,he is just using you for sex that's all
She just stared at me with her big eyes without responding
Zodwa:I hope uzwile
I got to our room I find Xola preparing himself to go to work
Zodwa:What is happening between you and that girl?
Xola:Which one?
Zodwa:Manzini of course she's trying hard to impress you and she does everything you ask her to do
Xola:Why are you complaining now Zodwa?don't you see this is working on our favor
Zodwa:How so?when I see this girl falling in love with her uncle
Xola:Mxm wena mfazi wami,focus on the bigger picture because that means she can sign all her rights to us then we will be monied
Yes we are marrying off Manzini to Xola because she have millions in her name.
The money that was kept for her until she is 18 years by her mother.
So she is 18 years and she is our ticket out of this situation.
I smiled voluntarily thought of having millions in me.
Zodwa:You may be right and I can't wait to get my hands in that money
He took my hands into his
Xola:I can only imagine what we will do with that money
I'm rich
I am a rich aunt bagithi.
Manzini she's a small fry so I won't worry myself too much with her.
Days passed and I'm treating Manzini with good behavior.
What worries me is Mbali
This days she cooped up in her room
She doesn't come out.
I try to open a door but it is locked
Zodwa:Mbali open the door
She's not answering
Zodwa:Mbali!
I don't know what's wrong with this child
I looked for a spare key
I found it in one of drawers
I unlocked the door
I find her under the duvet
I took out from her roughly
Zodwa:Mbali yini ikinga yakho?
Mbali:Nothing!
Zodwa:You won't spit that nonsense in my face
Mbali:Mama please can you go I want to sleep
Zodwa:What is your problem child?
She didn't respond
Something caught my eye
Is that what I think it is?!
I went to dustbin
I took out that test
Positive!!
Mbali:Mama I can explain
She's pregnant
Two lines
Zodwa:Umithi Mbali?
She just poured her crocodile tears
I slapped her so hard
She nearly fell
Mbali:Mama?
Zodwa:How could you?
She kept quiet again
Zodwa:Who is the father of this thing you are carrying?
She is not responding
Zodwa:If you won't open your mouth,I won't just slap you this time
Mbali:Angazi..
Zodwa:Askies?
Mbali:I don't know who is the father of this baby mama
Zodwa:Usfebe yezwa
Mbali:Clearly I know who I'm taking after like mother and daughter
Zodwa:Uthini?
Mbali:Uzwile mama and you think I don't know Xola is not my father,you are busy asking me about the father of my baby,why don't you first go look for the father of your child before you come here and question me about my pregnancy
This is nightmare actually
I have never been insulted like this in my life
