Down The Street
#100
At Jenna`s house...
Jenna fixed her hair and reached for the baby`s diaper bag, she picked up the baby and kissed him before walking out. Her phone rang...
Jenna: Hello?
Mother: Have you thought about it?
Jenna:Yes mama,I don't want my child to use his name. He is fine using my last name. I want to have him in my name.
Mother: Are you also going to take him with you to the new surname of your husband when you get married?
She sighed and leaned in the car, putting down the bag. Then she put him in his car seat.
Jenna: I just don't get what the big deal is, MJ will still get his inheritance even if he uses a different surname, as long as he is his son he will get his share if anything happens-
Mother: I wasn't thinking that far, just thinking about him, your child. You lose nothing by letting him have his father`s name
Jenna: (sighed) I am not bitter or anything, i just want my son to use my name. You are always siding with men.
Mother: Ok ngwanaka. I was just saying.
Jenna: Ee mma. I am meeting him; he wanted to see him for a few minutes, and we decided to do it at the mall where we can buy him clothes.
Mother: Okay my baby.
She hung up and put the baby in his car seat then she got in the car and drove off.
At the airport...
Kemmy and Dee walked out dragging their bags and headed to the rental car park, where they signed in and got the car keys. They put their bags in and reversed out as the security lifted the barrier...
Kemmy: From here i just want to lay down and sleep for a good 3 hours.
Dee: After not sleeping for days, you really needed to
Kemmy: (laughed) I just couldn't stop looking at myself, it doesn't feel real, I felt like a Caribbean girl.
She updated her status, then checked Mogomotsi. It had been weeks since he updated his status or even said a thing. Was he okay? Normally she would know he is doing okay by sharing even things about sports and his favorite teams or something about business or farming; he was completely silent. Is this what boundaries felt like? She sighed, Dee turned and looked at him, she flushed a smile and put down her phone before putting her hand across and touching his junk...he got hard at her touch...
Dee: Should I pull over?
Kemmy: (laughed out loud) Are you crazy!? No!
They laughed as she caressed his thigh with her glittering engagement ring. Minutes later, the gate slid open and he drove into the garage...
She stepped out and sighed smiling, looking at her house, part of her still could not believe she had lost all these...she could hug her whole house right now! After what happened with Kesego, she was not sure she was ready to let this be part of the marital property. This was a very special house...if ever there was a divorce she would definitely lose this. After all she went through...
Dee carried on walking in front of her and reached for her hand, she put hers on his and he led her to the bedroom where he cupped her face and kissed her as they fell on the bed and...
About an hour later she walked him to the car, she leaned in and kissed him as they both smiled, she followed the car and waved him as he drove off.
She took a deep breath and sighed standing at the gate looking at her house, it finally set in, she had lost all these, her workers gone...her gardener, that lady loved her job, worked like a man and provided for her babies. Hopefully she can still find her and give her job back. The pool lady too, only now did she notice how much she made sure no male had access to her daughter by hiring ladies only...
She walked out the gate and casually walked past the first yard, this was Mrs. Hillary, she was never home. She glanced at the couple across the street; they were never home too. Had a lodge in the delta and stayed there most of the time. She noticed a lady driving out of the rented house for Mogomotsi. Must have been the tenant...
She smiled and waved, the lady stopped and smiled as she rolled down the window...
Her: Hi
Kemmy: Hi, my name is Kemmy, I stay (pointed) just down the street...
She got out of the car and shook hands with Kemmy...
Her: My name is Mosong, we just moved in...but not fully because i am working my last week, i had served a notice. I am a nurse, i found a job at the private hospital so i will be moving here...
Kemmy: Oh great, i am happy for you.
Mosong: Thank you. God you have hips (held back) I am so sorry
They both laughed out loud...
Kemmy: (laughing) Its ok
Mosong: I have been told to stop thinking out loud.
Kemmy: (smiled) Well i like people who think out loud...and thank you for the compliment, it means a lot when a beautiful lady tells you something positive, kana we always think beautiful people think highly of themselves (they both laughed) How old are you? Aren't you too young to rent a house this big though?
Mosong: Oh, it's not mine, it was for my babydaddy`s daughter, but she had complications during birth and passed away. He is keeping the house for the grandbaby; we are just staying in it while putting the money together for the wedding and eventually buying our own.
Kemmy: Oh...you are Michael`s mother?
Mosong: You know me?
Kemmy: I am the mother of the first child.
Mosong: Oh...
There was silence as they both smiled awkward...
Kemmy: (sighed) Well, i stopped you because i wanted to ask for the gardner`s number
Mosong: I will ask him about it, we just moved in so i dont know a lot of things.
Kemmy: Okay, thanks
Mosong: Thanks
Kemmy: Bye
Mosong: Bye
They both walked away, then Mosong turned around and looked at her...
Mosong: Hey!
She turned and looked at her.
Mosong: I am sorry about-what he went to jail for-and for the loss of your baby girl. It's amazing that you went through all that and walked out beautiful and cheerful. I would have never known by just looking at you, it's motivating.
Kemmy smiled, looking at her and gulped...
Kemmy: I decided to start living, I am glad I am doing well and it shows. (picked her hand) I got engaged 3 days ago...
Mosong: (smiled) Congradulations...(showed hers) I wore this last week after he paid magadi...he believes engagement is paying magadi so he put it on me in front of our parents.
Kemmy walked back and they hugged, smiling...
Kemmy: This explains why he is silent, kante ba bua nnete happy people are busy being happy out of social media
They laughed out loud and hugged.
Kemmy: Congratulations...I am happy for you.
Mosong: Thank you, I am happy for you too neighbor.
Kemmy: Yes neighbor, see you around
Mosong: Bye
They both turned and walked away. Kemmy received a message.
Mogomotsi: Hi, there is something we need to talk about. When can we meet?
Kemmy: I am home all day.
Mogomotsi: Can i come over at 2pm?
Kemmy: Sure
Mogomotsi: Great, see you then
