Chapter19

Mbali

At home everything is chaos, Xola is married to his niece
While Bongani is in love with Manzini
Mother she seems so jolly like someone is up to something
Everyone is busy nje
While I'm pregnant and I'm starting to show
Rumors are said I don't know the father of the baby
I failed matric but I know how to open my thighs
But I ignore every bad thing I hear, for the sake of my baby and me
You see mama made me happy by tearing Manzini acceptance letter,she can't be succeeding while I'm stuck with pregnancy
So we are stuck together
I'm stuck with the baby while she is stuck with Xola
Xola seems he got stinking breath the way he always chews and spit saliva all the time
You see those police officers with big pot belly, who always chews magwinya at station he is one of them
I can imagine how heavy he will be on top of the poor Manzini
So I feel for her shame because I don't wish to be her, at least I'm stuck with the baby while she is stuck with the big baby Xola who stinks
My big brother Bongani he is no longer coming home
I heard all he does this days is sleep with different women and get drunk
Heartbreaking is not for the pits
Mjolo is not for the weakness people
I went to the mall to buy ice cream since I'm craving for one
I know I will find the affordable one at Spar
I have to feed my cravings
When I was on till queue
I couldn't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy,daddy"
Musa being called daddy?
Didn't he say he did vasectomy?
Was he lying to me?
I felt hot all of sudden
He was with two kids and holding a woman in his hand
I couldn't believe this
And I couldn't hold myself I went to confront him
Mbali:Musa?
He gave me do I know you look
Mbali:Musa I'm talking to you
Woman:Baby do you know this woman?
He chuckled
Musa:Of course not baby
Mbali:Musa come on you know me
Woman:Baby what's going on here?
Musa:Baby I really don't know what's going on here,sorry sisi do you know me from somewhere?because clearly I don't know you
Mbali:So you gonna deny you know me?
Woman:I'm not gonna do this in public Musa if this is one of your sluts
Musa:Come on Lebo have I cheated at you before or made you to doubt my love for you?
Lebo:Nope...
Musa:So what's this you trying to do?
Lebo:Ngiyaxolisa baby I didn't mean to doubt you or your love for me
He turned to me
Musa:Sisi I don't know who are you or where you come from but please stop what are you trying to do because I'm here with my family so stop harassing us and embrassing yourself.If you got crush on me, it's okay but don't embrass yourself in public clearly you can see I am a married man
He showed me his ring
Musa:Happily married man and I know pictures in my socials makes you girls crazy but you should seen in my socials Musa Ngema is happily married okay
I couldn't believe this
Musa seemed so sweet
I never thought he will be the one doing me this dirt
He seemed so genuine about everything
I even left the ice cream I didn't buy it the way I was so hurt
I got at home I search for his socials Musa Ngema
He is married
And his account is just full of his sons and his wife
I searched the one we used to communicate with on facebook
It is written Musa N
It is just blank with no pics
With just 3 or 4 friends
Why I couldn't notice this was the fake account
How can I be stupid
I'm just the stupid girl
I cried until I slept
It was on the afternoon
When I got call from Musa
Mbali:What do you want from me you jerk?
He laughed so annoyingly
Musa:Will you relax before you go to labour early
Mbali:I'm gonna drop this phone call because clearly you are wasting my time
Musa:Meet me tomorrow at the hotel
Mbali:Why would I do that?
Musa:For old time sake baby and I miss you,don't you miss us?
I went mute because that soothed me hearing him saying he miss me
It's like he is the old Musa I know
My sweet Musa
Musa:The thing is baby I did what I did at Spar because you see Lebo she is bit of psycho and she would have caused chaos if I admitted I know you,even hurt you plus I don't want anything happening to you or my baby
What?
Mbali:Your...your baby?
Musa:You see Mbali I was scared the first time when you told me you were pregnant that's why I told you I did vasectomy because I have the bad experience with Lebo she traumatised me for life
Mbali:So you admit this is your baby?
Musa:Of course it is my baby and I'm here to take my full responsibility so please just meet up with me so we can talk about the damages and lobola for you
I jumped so excitedly
Mbali:Of course my love
The following day I woke up at the morning I fixed myself to see my love
Zodwa:Where are you going so early?
Mbali:Where my happiness lies
Zodwa:Hope you won't bring baby number two because we already feeding you and that one in your stomach
Mbali:Really ma?I'm already pregnant,so how on earth will I bring another baby while I haven't given birth?
Zodwa:Wena everything is possible with you.All you know is to vula amathanga mes
I couldn't believe my own mother will say this
But I will ignore her negative energy to affect me while I'm on happy mood
I arrived at hotel
I find roses on bed
Romantic set up like everything was a dream come true
Musa:Welcome baby
Mbali:Ngiyabonga
I was blushing all the way
He offered me a sit
He sat opposite me
He cupped my hands
Musa:Mbali I know this past few weeks I have been a jerk and for that I apologise,I want us to start over on a clean slate with our little addition person
I smiled
Musa:Please forgive me?
Mbali:Of course I forgive you
He smooched me
Musa:One more question for you
I nodded
Musa:Will you make me the happiest man and marry me
Tears streamed in my eyes
I nodded multiply times
Musa:Is that a yes?
Mbali:Yes yes I will marry you a million times
He slide a ring in my finger
Musa:I love you Mbalienhle
Mbali:I love you Musa
He kissed my hand
Mbali:What about your baby mama?
Musa:Don't worry about that one because I already filed divorce for her
Mbali:Thank you baby wam
"Mbali wam,Mbali'"
I feel sting sensation on my cheek
Zodwa:Haai vuka wena you have been sleeping for hours now
Mbali:What the hell did you slap me mama?
Zodwa:Haai I thought you are dead mes
Mbali:Dead?where is Musa?
Zodwa:ubani Musa?because you have been screaming I do,I do in your sleep
Tears were on my cheeks
Mbali:So it was just a dream?
Zodwa:What's wrong with you?u'busy u ya khala manje,did you forget your lucky lotto number?
My mom can be stupid sometimes
Zodwa:I can see hormones are already playing at you so to calm you down take this R10 go to find me tamati
Mbali:Mama please I'm in no mood to do your errands
Zodwa:I'm not asking you
I didn't have choice but to go
I will look for them in nearby chisa nyama
I noticed I know this car
Gosh I dreamed about Musa now I'm going to meet up with him
Is this kind of sign?
I looked for him but I couldn't spot him
I noticed someone but who he was sitting with startled me a bit
I went to his table
Mbali:Whatever he said to you is a lie don't believe him Musa
They just laughed at me like I made the joke or a clown
Musa:Oh Tshepo mfethu have you met Mbali the woman I told you about?
Tshepo:I think so because I also want to introduce you to Mbali I told you about.Oh here she is now
They laughed again
Tshepo:Mbali skat please meet my best friend Musa Ngema my little bro
Musa:Mbali baby please meet my best friend Tshepo Ngema meaning my big brother
I widened my eyes
Mbali:What the hell is going on here?
Tshepo:Skat you were just a bait between us so nothing special
I just cried
Mbali:You guys used me for your bait?
Musa:And you loved every minute of it
Tshepo:The thing is we wanted to see you will fall for a man who has a money or hardcore but you falled for me that's how a bitch you are and persuaded Musa again
Musa:But you were good fuck I don't want to lie about that
Tears streamed in my eyes
Mbali:Musa I thought you loved me,you did everything for me.I thought we had something special
Musa:Baby girl it was all the part of the game
Mbali:For heaven sake I'm pregnant and you guys are taking this as a game?
Tshepo threw money in my face
Tshepo:Get rid of that thing because we are happily married with our wives and have kids
They just left me there
All eyes were on me
