Our Son: A Love So Deep.

Our Son (Part 23)

🖤  23

**Nomusa**

No no no she can’t leave me. She cannot leave us. I couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down my face. I still need my sister…we all need her. 

“Nomusa please take Lwandle to my car.” I look at Mmelokuhle when he says that but I couldn’t understand what he was saying. My hands were shaking. 

“I will take him Bhuti.” Nompilo says to him and she walks away with Lwandle and Nonkululeko. I was just standing there and not moving.

“What’s wrong with my daughter…doctor what’s wrong with her. She was fine this morning.” My mom cried right after Lwandle was out of our sight.

“I’m sorry we had to put her on an induced coma because the swelling on her brain was uncontrollable. What ever hit her head caused a lot of damage ." The doctor explained.

“She’s … she’s not dead?” I stuttered and the Doctor shook his head.

“No she’s not dead. We had to put her in the coma till the swelling decreases.” I sighed in relief.

“Do we know what caused all of this.” Mmelokuhle asked and Isaac cleared his throat.

“She was on the phone with me when it happened.  I think she fell and hit her head.” He explained.

“It doesn’t make sense…how come...” My dad asked and Isaac cut him off.

“Her father in law filed for full custody and I think she panicked...”

While he was busy talking Mmelokuhle rushed to him and started hitting him. My dad and the doctor had to pull him from Isaac he was mad.

“If something happens to her… I will kill you! I will kill all of you!.” He yelled at him. 

I cringe at the site that was happening in front of us. I saw a side of him that was scary …very scary. My dad pulled him outside and he was busy shouting at Isaac.

“Please excuse me I need to check up on her.” The doctor said.

We all sat there not knowing what to do or say to each other. Isaac was bleeding and my mom was crying hysterical and I was just in my feelings.

It took me some time to finally get over my emotions. At the moment I needed to be there for everyone well that’s what she would have done… right. Who the fuck am I kidding I’m never going to be as strong as she is. 
I wiped my tears and said a little prayer. And went to my mom.

“Mama.”  

“She’s going to be fine right…she has to be. Nomusa my child has to live…what about her son. Nomusa your sister cannot die.” She says with tears rolling down her face.

“Mama you need to go back home.. I’ll stay here.” I said teary.

“No it’s fine I’ll stay you have school tomorrow.” I shook my head and cleared my throat. 

“Mama abantwana. uLwandle mama… he won’t sleep without you or his mother.” Im trying to reason with her but I'm not winning at all. My dad walks in and he looks like life was drained from him.

“Baba please take mom and the kids home I’ll stay here and I will let you know of any changes.”

He nods and take his wife who is busy complaining and they leave.

“Musa please keep an eye on that Mngomezulu boy.” My dad says out of the blue.

What did he do now. I heave a deep sigh.
