Chapter 8

*IMITHANDAZO*

We stared at each other for a moment and he zipped his bag and carry it with him walking past me. He stops and look at me with glassy teary eyes.
"I'm sorry, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me, I really didn't mean to hurt you"

With that he walks away and I crumble on the floor crying. Why does this have to happen in two years of our marriage? I thought we were happy and he was understanding that nature delays things but now this? I'm hurt, I really don't want to loose him but then at the same time I don't think I will accept the fact that he made his first born out of our marriage. It hurts a lot.

My phone's rings from my bed, it's my elder sister, Samu. She's also married but to a white man and he treats her good shame.

"Mntase" I answer sniffing wiping my tears staring at Musa's car driving out.
"Sis how are you? Mom just informed me about your situation and I thought I should call and find out how are you doing? "
"Not good mntase, we just fought and i kicked him out"
"Oh no Imi! "
"I slapped him"
"Sis, I get that you are mad and it's understandable but to hit him? Really? You shouldn't have done that"
"I was angry and he wasn't making it easier for me too"
"there's no justification for abuse, you have opened up a can of worms. You showed him that the only way you solve problems in your marriage is through abuse. You should have locked yourself up until you were calm to talk because if it was him who slapped you, we would have been expected to act and call cops right? "
"I guess you are right, and now I'm worried that's I might have pushed him to his tramp"
"What is it do you want to do Imi? Make a decision and stick to it. You can't want him and hates him at the same time. I for one I would say divorce his ass because believe me, he is not going to change, cheaters don't change"
"I love him"
"Then be prepared to mother all the kids he's going to bring to your marriage hun"
"That won't happen, he knows how badly this hurt me , he won't bring another baby"
"Good luck with that hun, if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath"
"What should I do?I don't want to loose him Samu"
"Yooh,hai call him and talk to him,I don't know, whatever works for you. But Imi,do you really want to put yourself through this?"
"Leaving him while I still love him will be the biggest punishment to myself.i guess I owe it to myself to give it one last chance"
"All the best sis, just so you know. You can leave him and still be happy. You are way too beautiful and young to tolerate this bullshit"

MUSA

"Ouch, that hurts" I say flinching in pain as Ayanda nurse my burning cheek.
"I'm sorry, I can't believe she slapped you. Who does that?"
"What would you have done in her situation? I deserve everything and anything she gives me" I say feeling guilty about even being here
"You are too soft that why she's dancing on your head", she says and I shoot her a threatening look
"That's my wife we are talking about,can we not talk about this actually?"

She's gives me the bored look and leaves me going to the bed. My phone rings, it's Imi. My heart skips a bit. I clear my throat and answer.

"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"You kicked me out, remember?"
"So you are with her? You couldn't even wait to be with her..."
"Imithandazo what do you want from me? You hit me and then ask me out and now this? "
"About hitting you, I'm sorry. It shouldn't have happened"
"Of cause it shouldn't have. No matter how angry I've been with you I have never raised my hand on you"
"Can you please come back home so that we can talk? I am calm now"

The smile on my face right now, I'm sure it's reaching my ears.
"Give me 30 minutes"

I hung up and get up looking for my keys.
"Just like that, you are going back?"
"Yes, that's home and I need to fix things with her"
"What about us? "
"What about us konje? "
"Musa, you said you are going to divorce Imi and now a chance presents itself you Jump back to her?"
"Did I say that? "
"Yes dammit! "
"And you believed me? Wow, how gullible can you be? "
"What? Musa? Don't you love me? "

I sigh and move to her. I don't need this, God knows I don't. I hold her arm and caress it.
"Look I love you okay? You are the mother of my child and you have a special place in my heart but Imi comes first, I am not leaving her for you, or anyone for that matter. "

A FEW DAYS LATER
*ATHULE*
It's the end of the week and I seem to be working closely with this Dr Musa and I have to admit he’s not as annoying as I thought him to be. I guess I was just having one of those days and the fact that he’s good looking doesn’t help the situation one single bit.

Now I know he’s married but I have been checking his print out whenever I can and good lord he seems like he has it, I had the privilege to see him in his scrubs yesterday, apparently, he didn’t get the time to change out of them before coming here and I must say his wife is definitely fed!

I walk into his office and he’s busy typing frantically on his phone, i sit on the chair and he moves his eyes away from his phone to me
“Miss Athule” he says and I smile
“Mr Musa. Arent you going to have lunch today?” I ask him and he shakes his head
“I have a lot of work I need to do. What brings you here? I thought you hated me” he says and I chuckle
“I do… I did.. well when we met I had just had the worst experience with a pretty boy” I say and he props his elbows on the table and rests his chin on his hands and he smiles
“And what does that have to do with me?” he asks and I chuckle at the naughty smile he’s giving me
“Well, you’re a pretty man so yeah. Anyway I was bitter and angry at the entire pretty boy gang” I say and he laughs out loudly
“Now I’m interested in hearing what he did,” he says
“Maybe I’ll tell you some other day. You said you had work to do, also I was asked to bring you this file” I say placing the file on the table. He looks at me and shakes his head
“You seem like trouble,” he says and I shrug
“Nothing wrong with a bit of trouble here and there,” I say and he looks at me with amusement
“Girls are usually terrified of men with rings and unless I’m misreading this situation but you seem to be flirting with me,” he says and I giggle
“I’m not flirting with you and your ring doesn’t terrify me! I’m not doing anything illegal here unless it's against the law to work with you doc” I say and he shakes his head
“You going to get me into trouble,” he says and I raise an eyebrow
“Why? Don’t you trust yourself? Is your wife that insecure?” I tease and he tenses up
“My wife is not a person of interest in this conversation,” he says in a more stern voice, I can't help but laugh at him. Well he seems like he’s not getting enough at home
“Well then, let me leave you to your job. My friends and I are going out, in case you want to join us” I say getting up
“I’m married,” he says
“Does your wife want to come too? She can join us no problem, in fact, you can bring your whole doctor squad. We’ll need people to buy us drinks anyway” I say straightening my dress, he looks at my thighs and then up at me
“hahaha who goes to a club broke?” he teases and I shrug
“You thought I was hitting on you? Oh no, I have someone plus I don’t do married men but I don’t say no to them buying me drinks and I don’t mind keeping them company while they complain about their wives that don’t satisfy them enough” I say and he chuckles
“And then what?” he asks and I shrug
“It ends at that, he drops me off at home and I sleep in my bed peacefully. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m good company doc” I say and he laughs
“Waze waytshela boh!” he says and I chuckle
“I am Xhosa after all. Bye doc” I say waving him off and walking out of his office. Just then my phone rings and it's Thabo, I smile. I hate that I’m smiling at this men’s call.
He and I have had a few fuck sessions since Monday and I enjoy every minute I spend with him.
“Chrisy” he says and I roll my eyes
“Why did I tell you this name again?” I say annoyed and he chuckles
“How are you pretty face?” he asks
“I’m good and how are you?” I ask him
“I’m good. Any plans for today?” he asks
“I’m going out with my friends, what about you?” I ask him
“If I said I was parked outside and wanted a quickie before I rush to Joburg what would you say?” he asks and I bite my lower lip at the thought
“I’d say have a safe trip” I say and he chuckles
“I know damn well you not rejecting me. I only have 30 minutes to spare” he says and I make my way towards the exit
“What are you driving ngoba you know you change cars like you change your underwear” I say and he laughs
“the only black matt Jeep in this parking lot” he says and I laugh at his cockiness making my way to his car which has tinted windows. I drop the call and walk to the car and get inside. He drives to the underground parking and we park at a designated spot. It's not our first time anyway. I take off my underwear and he pushes the chair back and then I get ontop of him and grind on him
“I see somebody missed me” he says feeling the warmness underneath and I shrug shutting him up with a kiss
