Hello, Hi.. šŸ„°

Firstly happy new year, I hope we all made it out of 2023 well and healthy. Well I took a break from writing "my cry unto the lord" simply because it's a trigger. The book is based on real-life events although there's a bit of exaggeration here and there. The aim was to make women realise how sensitive the topic of having babies is and that it's not always the woman's fault. Keep in mind it was never my intention to rub salt to the wounds of those walking the same path and I'm so sorry for reminding y'all of your pain.

With that being said, I have something stored in my drafts that I'm willing to share with you and hopefully we all get to enjoy itā¤ļø

My inbox is still open to those who feel like they're alone or they wanna get something off their chests. Unfortunately I don't have millions to offer but atleast I have an ear to listen to y'all vent and maybe an advice or two to share. Thank you for making time for me, I appreciate y'all so much

Love Admin. ā¤ļø

INSERT TWELVEā€¦..

One of the many mornings I wake up as Ndumiso's girlfriend. You know what actually does it for me? The fact that I never get reminded that I'm married, and oh, Mrs Dlamini is more pleased than us the couple that her son and I are finally an item. She said that it was written in the books of life that I'd end up her daughter in law apart from being her doctor. Crazy I tell you. I've finally found me an apartment in Equestria, not far from where my man resides, Ndu and I would see each other daily. Sometimes he'd drop me off at work before leaving for his work. Couple goals I swear.

I've finally came into terms with the reality of my marriage to Mfundo, I have started seeing relevant divorce lawyers, all thanks to my babe for recommending the best in the game. I honestly want nothing from Mfundo but my freedom, we've been married in community of property so we'll obviously share everything 50/50. I have told my parents about my decision to call it quits on my marriage and that I've found me a perfect place to reside in. Everybody is happy for me including my siblings. And oh, Pearl and I have developed a little nyana friendship apart from us being boss and employee. We'd hang out time and again, she'd come with her partner who's made a good friend out of Ndumiso. We're cruising nicely I swear.

************
I drove to what was once my marital home, with Ndumiso driving me of course, everything seemed to have changed or is it because it's been ages since I've moved? Ndumiso insisted on coming with me to serve Mfundo with the divorce papers in case he tries something funny but he'll be accompanying me as a lawyer. I rang the doorbell, heard a tiny voice reply and I'm assuming it's his woman.

Her: "Oh Kago. You're here?"

Ndumiso seemed puzzled at the fact that the lady knows me. He doesn't say a word though.

Me: "In the flesh mama. Also, can I see Mfundo? Is he in?"

She nods before making a way for us to get inside. Ndumiso follows from behind and she shuts the door close. We walk into the sitting area, everything loooked crazy. It was nothing like I left it. We sat on the dining table and waited for her to get Mfundo. He follows from behind holding an infant.

Mfundo: "(surprised to see me there) Kago... Hi, hello to you gentleman"

Ndumiso just nods to acknowledge the greeting. I replied with a smile. My beautiful smile.

Me: "I came here to serve you with the divorce papers, kindly go through them and sign. You'll send them back at the written address, and please make it as soon as you can"

He seemed disappointed, he looked like he has so much to say but couldn't do it. He just said "Oh" and looked down.

Me: "Cute baby you have there. You must be an amazing dad ne"

He doesn't say a word, instead hands the baby to his partner and goes through the papers silently. I figured it's time for me and my man to bounce. We bid them farewell and walked to the car, I wasn't myself. Although I got over him, I didn't imagine myself one day walking into what was then my house and find him holding a baby. His and someone else's baby. I just buried my head on the dashboard and cried. Ndu drove us to the nearest gas station and pulled over before comforting me.

Ndu: "What triggered you nana? Talk to me"

I just couldn't bring myself to tell him that I hated seeing my soon to be ex husband holding a baby that isn't mine.

Me: "Did the baby matter so much that he had to cheat? I mean I know I'm over him but seeing him holding that kid brought so much bad memories, the harmful words that were said to me, walking into my house and finding him fu***ng another woman"

Ndumiso: " It's okay baby, calm down. Im here now"

Well that went on for a while till I started feeling stupid for crying for that cow. Embarrassed to face Ndumiso. I mean who cries for their exes when they have a fine gent like him by their side? I must have screwed things up.

Me: "(unable to face him) I'm sorry and I'd totally understand if you're mad at me for crying for my ex"

He laughs. "Uh huh mama, he isn't just an ex boyfriend but your ex husband. Y'all vowed till death do you apart and unfortunately life happened so you're within your rights to cry. At least you will start feeling lighter after you did"

I nod. "How did I ever get so lucky? I mean you're way too cute for a Zulu gent"

He laughs. "Oh please, not all Zulu men are Shaka. I was raised by a gentleman thank you"

We laugh for a while. "Would you like some magnum before we head home?" He asks, I nod. He gets off, comes to open my door and we walk hand in hand into the gas station store, usually known as bonjour. We picked our favourite magnum flavours and bottled water before paying and driving back to Equesteria. I was sleeping over his place this day, it's a Friday and he's having the kids over. He feels it's time I meet his favourite tiny beings.

As soon as we got to the house,I had Alexa playing my favourite jams as I was preparing dinner. I decided to do that to ease my nerves, more than anything I was worried about how the kids would react to having a stepmom/auntie. He could sense my tension, he came and hugged me from behind.

Ndu: " You know you have no reason to worry right? Those kids are gonna love you like I do"

I sigh. "Who'd appreciate having a step parent when they have their biological mothers? I can't help but worry"

He turns me around and holds both my hands. "You're an amazing woman Kago, I'm sure Lwandle and Khanya can't wait to meet the woman behind my smile"

I smile before hugging him. " I should finish up before they get here. I'm assuming they are hungry"

Ndumiso: " Finish up so we get to shower before they get here"

I smile and completed the food preps. I had potato wedges, lamb chops with Greek salad prepared. I had stocked up on woolies juices since I had Lwandle is a huge fan of juice while Khanya enjoys appletiser. We had everything ready, including popcorns and other snacks stocked up in case we have movie night.

I rushed upstairs and found my man bare chest with only his jeans on, did I tell you how good looking my man is? Ndumiso is the most handsome man in the entire planet earth. God sure did take his precious time when building this dude. As I was busy admiring him.

Him: " Come back to earth Kago wami. Yini? What had you drooling over me? I mean I'm yours already sis"

I laugh. "Go to hell Ndu!"

Him: " I love you too. I have already ran us a hot bath, let's go get inside before our water gets cold"

I gladly take off my dress and decides to join him. I had body insecurities but Ndumiso wouldn't let me get into them, he always tells me how much he loves my body and there's nothing he'd wanna change on me. He keeps telling me that he prefers me naked. He's seen me once or twice if I'm not mistaken. We haven't really made love, he's always been invested in making me cm more than hitting it. Oh he's so good with his tongue.

*************
He scrubs my back and I scrub his before we chilled in our perfectly hot water. Chatting about a few random things then got out of the tub. He left to go and get us things to wear while I cleaned the tub. After I'm done with cleaning the tub, I found him waiting for me with our tracksuits laid on the bed. We got ourselves moisturised before getting dressed up.

As we were busy smooching each other, the door bell rings. It must be the kiddos. He looks me in the eyes and reassures me that I'll be fine before opening up the door to little intellectuals.

"Daddy!!!" They both yell out of excitement.

He hugs both of them. Lwandle is a real princess, very cute looking, well spoken and just adorable. Abuti Khanya on the other hand, he looks like a little genius and he looks older than I expected. Maybe nine or ten years old, Lwandle looks four or five.

Lwandle: " Took you long enough to open up. What were you busy with baba?"

Ndumiso stutters. How can he tell them that he was kissing me? Crazy hey!

Khanya: "Relax Lwandle. You're in aren't you? Also daddy, who's this beautiful lady? Sawbona Ma, I'm Khanya and this is my baby sister princess Lwandle"

I smile. "Well hello Khanya, I'm auntie Kago. Pleased to meet you"

Lwandle moved away from Ndumiso, just to get a clearer view of me.

Lwandle: "Are you daddy's girlfriend?"

We all froze.

Ndumiso: "Whoa Lwandle! What's a girlfriend? What do you know about girlfriends?"

She shrugs. "You're dating her, meaning she's your partner. Anyways you look gorgeous auntie Kay!"

I've always known she's intelligent for her age but this? Takes the cake shame! Khanya tries to tone down the shock. "Hope you had something prepared for us, I'm starving"

Me: "I made some lamb chops and ribs, hope you like them?"

Lwandle: " I hope there's Greek salad? I'd kill for it"

Ndumiso: "Calm down Lwandle. No need to kill for food"

Lwandle: " That's an expression daddy, I don't mean literally. Anyway, can you please help me freshen up auntie Kay?"

So I moved from being Kago to Kay, how cute! Maybe they can't say Kago so they saw it fit if they moved from it to Kay. "I'd love to. Come with me"

She hands me her suitcase and holds my hand. Off we went, I didn't exactly know which room is hers because I've never seen any Barbie or butterfly bedding in either of the rooms. Just plain coloured beddings. She leads me to hers, and opens up one of the closet doors that leads us to her private bathroom. I ran her warm water while she undressed herself, got into the tub and I bathe her. After we were done, I got her dressed into her pajamas, her bonnet and sleepers before heading downstairs.

We found the boys dishing up into bowls, I assisted them while the princess put cutlery on the table. It's not as bad as I had imagined, they are well mannered I must say. As soon as we were done, we sat around the table, Lwandle said the Lord's Prayer and we indulged.

After eating Khanya helped me out with the dishes while Lwandle had a lot to talk about to her dad. I've never seen such well mannered rich kids or maybe it's too soon to say? We watched puss in boots before Lwandle passed out on my lap and Khanya on his dad's.

Ndumiso: "It's okay hun. I'll take them to bed, relax"

He started with Khanya then came back for Lwandle. As soon as he tucked all of them in bed, he came to get me and led me to bed. It was a busy evening for us. I mean Lwandle had us on our toes, had so much to say while Khanya was more into the movie.

Him: "So baby, how did you find the kids?"

Me: "Lwandle has a lot of energy, secondly she speaks her mind and thirdly too intelligent for her age but I can't help but like her. Khanya is matured, well raised and mannered, a gentleman and you can never not like him. Overall the kids are fine baby, you made a great job in raising them. For a tycoon's kids they are responsible, respectful and well behaved. Kudos to you!"

He smiles. " I believe Natasha also played a role in making sure they turn out this good"

Me: "Natasha?"

Him: "Khanya's mom. He helped me raise both of them"

Me: "Oh"

I faked a yawn and kissed him goodnight before tucking myself in. I can't help but feel jealous, he speaks so highly of his ex. Not that it's a bad thing but a rare thing, I'm not mad that she's an amazing mom but actually sadden by the fact that my man sings her praises. He hugs me from behind and doses off. I can't find sleep, Natasha is all I think of.

Insert Elevenā€¦.

Let's say the roses and chocolates did the trick. I forgave Ndumiso for going AWOL on me. Perhaps this is time wherein he lets me into his world. Is he dating? Is he married? Is his mom scouting another wife for him? Maybe she's another Kago she isn't falling pregnant with the Dlamini heir. I called him and told him I received his cute gesture and I liked it, dude went ahead and asked me out for late dinner date. There's no way I was gonna say no, I'm tired of dining alone in a hotel room, ending up in tears so maybe this would help me forget about my problems for a while and have a friend to chat a storm with.

As I've been struggling pairing an outfit, not that I don't have clothes but I didn't wanna be overdressed or underdressed. I don't even know where we headed to begin with...

After what seemed to be forever, I found a sexy black dress, paired it up with rose gold heels and a blazer in case it gets chilly out there. I went for a natural look, I didn't wanna look too dolled up. But I must admit, I looked tons and tons of gorgeous. My hair was a neat freezed simple bun, accessorised with diamond earrings just to give my face life. As soon as I was busy wearing my watch I received a text from Ndu, his downstairs at the parking lot waiting for me. I wrapped up, took my bag and blazer then locked up my room. As I was looking around for his car, didn't see any. I called to ask him where he is cause I'm not seeing his car.

Ndu: "Hey gorgeous"

Me: "Stop kidding hle Ndumiso. I'm in the parking lot, I don't see you nor your car. If this is a prank, I'm not in the mood"

Ndu: "(he chuckled) Calm down before you collapse of a heart attack. You're standing in front of my car"

Me: "What car Ndumiso?"

Ndumiso: "The coupe Porsche you're standing next to madam"

Me: "(annoyed now) Hahaha very funny Ndumiso"

He hungs up. As I was about to get worked up, the Porsche driver's door swings open, and turns out to be Ndu the driver. My Lord, why didn't I believe him when he said he was the driver? Now I'm embarrassed.

Ndumiso: "(he's smiling) You believe me now? Come on, hop in let's get going before we become late for our reservations"

Reservation what? Hayi ke! Dude never ceases to amaze me, he went as far as making reservations for our dinner? I thought it was just a casual date between two friends. Anyhow, I got into the car and I must say n***a cleans up too well. He looked dapper in his black formal pants, crisp white shirt, and oh he had a jacket in the backseat in case it gets cold too. I was too embarrassed to say a word, I buckled up and just listened to the music he played. We are listening to Michelle Gayle's 'I'll find you' . I like the song too, must have heard it on the late Eddie Zondi's radio show on Sundays.

Ndumiso: " You must be into soul music"

I nod. He smiles and nods back. Well, dude drives towards Midrand/Johannesburg. Well we passed Centurion. The next track to play on the radio is Whitney Houston's 'All at once'. I know the jam from my sister, she sang it everyday after her breakup with her baby daddy. I started jamming to it.

Me: " All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea, wishing you'd come back to me and that's all that matters now. All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea, holding on to memories and it hurts me more than you know, so much more than it shows"

He is impressed. He hums while I sing with Whitney. It's such a joy ride and I'm already enjoying myself. We arrive at Solo. That famous restaurant that has plenty wine bottles cave like that people tend to stand by and shoot pictures. He gets off and comes help me out, he holds my hand and leads me into the place. It's cute, such a nice setup. It's my first time here by the way. Ndumiso let's the waiter know that he made reservations for us, then the waiter leads us there. There's a huge bunch of white roses there by our table.

Ndumiso: "You must be wondering what's going on with me and roses"

Me: "(I smile) Well, apart from diamonds, roses are a girl's best friend"

Ndumiso: "If only all women were like you. I ordered a bottle of wine for us, I hope you don't mind"

Me: "Oh no, I love me a fine bottle of wine. Also Mr Dlamini, this is a very serious setup for friends, you must have emptied your pockets in order to achieve this"

Ndumiso: "Hell no, besides I'd do anything for a good woman like you"

Me: "(I blushed, I'm smitten) A good woman you say, but you don't know me that well"

Ndumiso: "One of the reasons why I organised this dinner for us. I want to get to know you better Kago, apart from you being my mom's favourite doctor and now my friend"

I smiled, it's as if he knew I had a number of questions to ask him. Dude seemed too good to be true. Although I liked his company, his character, I needed to know more about him.

Me: " I see. But what is it that you want to know about me bhutiza?"

He laughed, our wine came accompanied by some seafood starter. Our waiter served us before excusing himself. Ndumiso asked me a couple of questions as we indulged of the starters and wine. And now it was my turn...

Me: "Who's Ndumiso Dlamini? What do you do for a living, are you in any committed relationship or married?"

Firstly, he started off by laughing at me before saying his piece.

Ndumiso: "It's as if you were rehearsing the questions ma'am. Anyhow, I'm Ndumiso Fezokuhle Dlamini of Dlamini Logistics and Dlams Law firms. I have a fleet of trucks, taxis and buses, my dad had started the business with only taxis and when he passed on I knew I had to step in and take the business into greater heights and now here we are. As for Dlams law firms, I'm an attorney by profession. I did my law degree at UKZN back in the days, it's my first love. I'm the only son currently, my twin sister passed on when we were younger, she had a lot to drink and was going through a breakup. She jumped into the pool and drowned. Leaving behind her cute princess, Lwandle. She's now mine to raise, alongside my son Khanya. No, I've never been married before and I'm not married currently. I was in a relationship with my baby mama but s**t happened and we had to go our separate ways, I still take care of her and Khanya though. There's absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for my son to live comfortably"

I'm speechless, that's just a lot to take in. "Oh!" That's all I managed to say at this point.

Ndumiso: "(chuckling) Come on, it's not that deep. Coming to you, my mom always told me about you. She kept letting me know how much you take care of her, allows her to be her too much self to you and you'd still give her the same smile as you did when you started treating her. I knew then, that I had to meet this amazing woman. After seeing you, it was love at first glance but I couldn't say it there. I found myself tagging you to the boys' night out, for no reason. You have this beautiful smile Kago, it always makes me forget my problems, it instantly brightens up my day. I've always wanted to be with someone who'd sit in my head all day everyday and not once move. You're all I think of these days. If I'm being honest, I need you to help me raise these little Dlaminis, I know it's too cheesy but believe me when I say this is reality"

He looks so sincere. I wanna believe him but I'm scared, I mean my tertiary lover broke my heart as soon as he found out I'm in capable of giving him babies.

Me: "(I'm emotional) I want to believe you so much Ndu but I'm scared. I'm scared of putting my heart on the line for love again, the last time I did I got burnt"

Ndumiso: " I've noticed you even have your marital ring out. I don't wanna know why but just know I'm happy you did. It's a perfect time for me to declare my love to you Kago. Woman I love you"

As I was trying to digest everything, I heard a šŸŽŗ playing from a distant but approaching. Then there's a sweet voice singing, if you're a fan of Presss you'd know that it's him.

".... I can't imagine life without you bakampa bare ong jisitse...." No way, that's my jam. How did he know I love me some Presss? That's ke rata wena playing! I couldn't believe I'm seeing him live in a restaurant. He's approaching our table as he sings with the trumpet backing him up. Everybody has their phones out recording this moment, I can't help myself but do it too. Next thing you know, our waiter hands Presss a plate of something. Once he finishes singing he hands it over to me, I'm trembling so terribly. Did Press just come to me specially? Like he handed me his dish?

"Will you please be Ndumiso's fine lady?" He says before handing me the plate. I'm too shocked to say a word, as I scan the plate it's a chocolate cake slice with chocolate sauce written "Will you please be my girlfriend?"

Everybody in the room screams "please say yes". Ndumiso is seated across the table with puppy eyes, he looks cute. I can't help but say yes. Everybody cheers, Presss and his trumpet guy hugs me before handshaking Ndu and leave.

Ndumiso: "Are you for real?

I laugh and nod.

Me: "I'm your married girlfriend. How cute is that?"

We share a laugh, he hugs me as the crowd cheers for us. "I don't care about all of that as long as you're mine".

Officially off the market as a married girlfriend. I wonder how this would work out. Ndumiso's Mrs Ndlovu, weird right?

NB: None of my posts are edited,kindly bare with me as there maybe spelling errors. Love admin šŸ©·

Insert Tenā€¦

It's only now that reality starts to kick in, I had made breakfast reservations for me and the rents by the hotel restaurant. I had to hopes of going to work but I had to. I gently withdrew a fit that would make me looking nothing like my problems. Yes, I cried myself to sleep last night. I know I chose to leave but what was I supposed to do when Mfundo chose to hoe around? After shower, I had the courage to take off my wedding band and threw it into my makeup bag.

It's breakfast time, mom and dad are already digging in over a small chat.

Me: " Good morning Mr and Mrs Moerane"

They chuckled. "And when was the last time you addressed us like that?"

Me: " (I laughed) I see you couldn't wait for your princess. You're already half way your meals"

Mom: "Please excuse us wena princess! Rona re bagolo, there's high blood and sugar diabetes"

Me: (I laughed) I'm joking. I'm guessing you had a goodnight sleep?"

Dad: (Sighed) We should be asking you that nana. How are you feeling?"

Me: "(I sighed, faked a smile) I'm fine pops. Such is life. Anyway, let's wrap up eating I have work to attend to and you too, have a Highway to drive to"

I bid my parents farewell, drove to work without my head and heart there. Who would be sane after yesterday anyway? Did I mention receiving tons of texts and missed calls from my so called hubby? And also, Mrs Ndlovu wouldn't miss it for the world to let me know how much of a disgrace I am to the women. I failed as a woman m, I failed as a mom and she thinks it's because of my contaminated heart that God doesn't see me fit to mother an innocent soul. I won't lie that got to me but then again, it's Mrs Ndlovu we talking about. The woman who's supposed to me my mamazala.

- - - - - - - -

It's just past afternoon, what a hectic day it was. I had back to back consultations with my patients, it's all because of a sudden leave I took. They didn't wanna consult elsewhere but here by me. I haven't had lunch yet, and Pearly is also working her ass up. Poor soul, maybe I should just surprise her with lunch since she's an amazing assistant. I decided to order from Parrots via Uber eats for the two of us. And as soon as the order arrived Pearly was by my door.

Pearl: "Boss lady, there's a delivery here for you"

Me: "(I smiled at her) Well that was quick. The driver deserves a 5 star rating. Anyway, I thought you should join me for lunch today. I mean this is the only way I'd be able to say thank you for being an amazing colleague and assistant. I couldn't have asked for a better person"

Pearl: "(she is a bit teary) Ncaaaw, that's so sweet of you sister boss. Thank you so much, also, I won't mind joining you for lunch. It's as if you knew I had no idea what I was going to eat today"

I am a bit puzzled. Am I under paying her or maybe she has a lot on her plate. Perhaps this is a perfect time to get to know her better.

Me: "( I signalled for her to sit) Well join me, I think this is the perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other better"

Pearl: "(she sits and sighs) What would you like to know about me? I'm Pearl Mazibuko as you know me, born and bred in Mpumalanga. Came to Pretoria for educational purposes and work. And then viola here I am"

Me: " I wanna know you as an individual. Do you have siblings, are you in a committed relationship or something. Come on!"

Pearl: "Okay. Well, I do have siblings. There's like 5 of us and I'm the eldest and only working sibling amongst the family. My mom and dad are trying to make ends meet by selling vegetables that they grow in our backyard, my baby sister plaits people's hair just to make a few bucks for her personal needs. As for my brother, Sipho, urgh! Troublesome, I've even lost count of how many kids he has. Once he goes awol for a month, we know for a fact that the next month we will be receiving either a letter or a visit from the family which he wronged"

We laugh, she's actually interesting.

Me: " That's hectic. I mean I wonder what it feels like to have guests every other month all in the name of wanting damages. Well nna, as you know I am a dietician, married to be divorced, long story... I am the last born daughter to two amazing parents, I have two siblings, my eldest brother is actually cool and very understanding but can be a little strict for my liking. As for my sister, she's a character that one. She hates men with every fibre of her being, but funny she has a kid. Don't ask me how. But yah hey, we really grew up comfortable, our parents dedicated their lives on making sure we become the best versions of ourselves and years later here we are"

She smiles....

Pearl: "I wonder what it feels like being the last born kid. Does it ever get as overwhelming as being the eldest? I mean I have to always make it a point that I provide for the family, has zero time to myself. Not even funds to spoil myself. I have even given up on dating simply because I don't have clothes to go on dates, funds to purchase gifts or even plan a simple dinner"

I sigh.. " So you're telling me that you're single?"

Pearl: "Not really. I'm only dating for the brinjal otherwise I have no business with men. I don't get affectionate with either of them, we only talk when we're h***y and requires service. Otherwise, make me absent for Mjolo"

I laugh. " I wish I met you before I decided to commit into marriage. The biggest mistake of my life (I sigh)"

Pearl: "Care to share? I mean that's if you're comfortable with doing that"

Me: "Where do I even begin? Okay, so Mfundo and I met during our varsity years, when I was busy studying medicine he was busy doing engineering. We both went to UP by the way, we'd bump into each other at campus. No one cared to say a thing to the other but we sure did like each other. Until fresher's ball came, he sent his friend to ask me to meet him outside, far away from the noise and crowd. I mean I liked the dude, there's no way I'd say no to him. Fast forward, we started dating, he was an amazing boyfriend. I even met his parents in the early stages of our relationship, they seemed to be amazing people, that didn't last long. Especially the mom, monster in law I tell you. After Mfundo completed his degree he went job hunting and fortunately found something just around Gauteng so it wasn't really a train smash, we'd see each other on weekends, and whenever I didn't have classes. As soon as I was done with my 7 year degree, he proposed and I said yes but he had to wait till I was done with specialising cause I knew I wanted to become a dietician not just a GP...."

She's attentively listening while indulging on the food. She seemed easier to talk to so I didn't mind. " Well time went buy, his family came to my hood to pay dowry for me. Which became a hussle cause my dad didn't get why I'd wanna get married to a Zulu man when I'm a Tswana woman. He kept reminding me of how crazy Zulu men don't respect women, funny how I saw all the good in him. Let's say things went left when we started talking about conceiving or rather trying out for a baby. I'm not sure how his mom got to know of it. Woman put me under pressure, told me how time isn't on my side and that they need a grandkid as in yesterday. Once a month passed and there was zero news about falling pregnant, the name calling started. Aike, think that was enough? There was an ex of my hubby that was brought into our marital home to come and show me what it means to be a woman. To conclude this, he sided with his parents and slept with the girl, sadly I got to witness it with my two eyes and now here I am... Looking for a perfect divorce lawyer because I want us to part amicably"

Pearl was lost of words, her lower jaw was left hanging open. She looked like someone who thought I was narrating a soapie or some Tyler Perry movie. Sadly it was my reality. "Forgive me if I come across as being rude but are you sure you're telling me about your reality. Like you witnessed this in real life? You're not narrating an episode of scandal or isidingo maybe?"

Me: (I chuckled) "I wish I was"

Pearl: "Hectic. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. Must have been hard and stressful for you especially when your in-laws are the instigators of this whole thing. And your family?"

Me: "Everyone from home is very much supportive. All that's left is for me to tell them what I have decided on"

She nods. As we we're still at it, a knock on my door.

"come in" we yell.

The door swings open, it's a netflorist delivery guy.

"Afternoon. Sorry to be interrupting such a lovely lunch. I'm here for MS Kagoentle?" He says wearing a beautiful smile. Talk about someone who enjoys doing his work.

I smile back at him. "That's me!"

He shows me where I should sign before handing me a huge bouquet of red roses and a box of chocolates. "And oh, you're such a lovely miss" he says looking at Pearl.

Pearl: "Thanks I guess"

Him: " Your numbers please?"

Pearl looks a bit hesitant but then ends up writing them down for him. I forgot to state how cute looking the gent is. He smells clean and fresh, neatly dressed in his uniform and he looks like someone who knows how to carry himself and caters to the woman he loves.

Oh there's a note! "This is the only way I get to apologise for being distant. I had a lot of things to do but I promise you that from this day onwards, I'm available should you need me. Something sweet, to help bring back the amazing smile only you know how to wear. Have an amazing day Muhleza wami. Love always.... NdušŸ©·"
