miranda: beyond the streetsinsert 16
few weeks later
the fact that my baby survived is what made my heart be at peace , i know i don't want this baby but losing the baby would be my worst nightmare .
I am wearing a pink long tight dress with Gucci flip flops . my baby bump is showing , I have been ignoring nkanyezi ever since , I don't want to talk to him , he might as well go to hell .
I have an appointment with the doctor , I'll be checking the baby's gender , well I can't wait . I'll be passing at the mall first to do some grocery shopping .
I grabbed my car keys and bag , I went to my car then drove off .
In a few minutes I arrived at the mall , I went straight to Woolworths then did my grocery shopping .
there's this cute little teddy bear , I am getting it . I tried to reach it , but ey I am too short .
someone held my waist from behind and got the teddy for me .
I turned , he handed me the teddy .
me: thank you .
I said after a few seconds of silence , what a fine dark skinned man .
I swallowed my saliva then pushed my trolley . I went to the paying area . I can't find my purse , gosh what's happening !
voice: I'll pay .
he said behind me .
me:okay mr superhero , there's actually no need .
I said as I rolled my eyes .
him:my bad I am your life saver today .
I turned to look at him , I looked at him from head to toe .
him:I feel like you're undressing me , it's your turn .
he moved forward then took out all my things , he paid then paid for his things too .
him:it was nice meeting you , pregnant lady .
he winked as he grabbed his plastic bag and walked off .
me:MY NAME IS MIRANDA !
i shouted , well he's gone already and now everyone is looking at me like i am a crazy woman .
I cleared my throat then pushed my trolley out . I went to my car then started packing on the boot .
voice :need help ?
I feel like screaming right now , this stranger will be the death of me .
me:nope .
him:well , I'll just help thou .
he said as he started unpacking and putting things in my car boot .
him: you're married ?
I rolled my eyes and showed him my left hand .
him: nowadays you never know , people take off their rings .
me:I guess I'm not one of those people .
him:oh okay , miranda , so what are you doing for a living ?
me: nothing .
him:oh?
me:yes , what's your name ?
him:tlotlanang , you can call me tlotlo thou .
me:oh .
him: I'll see you around , can I get your numbers thou or the baby daddy will mind ?
me: there's no baby daddy .
he looked at me as he raised his left eye brow .
me:yes , I got myself pregnant so here .
I said as I took out a card with my numbers .
me:you will call .
I winked and got inside my car , I drove to the hospital .
in thirty minutes or so I arrived .

after an hour or so I was done and guess what ? your girl is having a baby boy !
one thing that annoys me is that this baby can come here looking like his long lost bustard father .
I drove back to my apartment . I unpacked the groceries .
voice:you have been avoiding me .
I almost screamed .
me: nkanyezi what are you doing here ?
I asked as I continued packing the groceries .
him:i want to fix things miranda , and why didn't you tell me you were pregnant ?
me: because you're not the father nkanyezi zungu , you're just a liar !
him: I'm tryna own up to my mistakes .
me:well , in hell with that because I don't care , I am done with you and this baby is mine , mine alone , I don't know you , you don't know me , go back to your wife thandeka !
him:anger ?
me:mxm .
I rolled my eyes . I grabbed a bottle of water then gulped half .
voice: it's a good thing I found you guys together .
we both turned to look , I feel like collapsing , it's not what it looks like and I swear this time she will kill us .
