Love And War Season 1

Chapter 44

-GUGULEZWE

Yoh!

I've never met anyone more stubborn than me!

Sebentile Phetsile Dlamini will make you drive off a fxcking cliff yeses! Argh I don't even get why I'm so mad, maybe its her attitude. All I'm tryna do is to make sure that nothing happens to Mbali and my child. I sure hope its a boy. I can't imagine having a daughter in this cruel world though I would like a mini version of Mbali but with the world we live in and the things girls go through, a boy will do. I sigh, my life is messed up.

My uncle walks in, what's he doing here? Its Sakhile's father.

"Omphi"

I greet in visible shock in my voice, he chuckles

"Gugu hi, how are you?"

I shrug

"Better than I should, you?"

He looks at me stunned but quickly masks it

"I'm also good thank you. I thought I should come and see you"

I nod

"thanks for the visit and the food"

He smiles politely

"How are you and Sebe?"

I look at him confused, what does he know? He notices my confusion and chuckles

"You don't remember? That night when you dreamt you were in church and I was preaching? You saw me and I saw you"

I try to think and it comes back to me. I look at him still unanswered

"Son how often do you pray?"

I chuckle, he glares at me

"I'll take that as not often. Things need to change from hereon"

I don't know what to make of this conversation but its annoying me. All I'd like is two minutes without talking about Phetsile!

"I get it, its annoying. Not knowing, having dreams dictate your life. At some point I was you"

I can't hide my shock, he and aunt seem so in love

"I had my own Mbali. Beautiful girl, almost perfect and her personality was everything"

He says smiling

"I also had forces dictating my life, I didn't listen and she ended up dying because of my stupidity. After her death I hated God, hated him for taking her away from me at such a young age but a friend of mine convinced me to seek solace in that same God. I knew Sakhile's mother, had met her on occasion but marrying a Xhosa girl was not on my agenda. The stubnornness and all that comes with being Xhosa was not gonna cut it for me but what choice did I have?"

He chuckles probably thinking about aunt

"It wasn't easy at first, I had to fight tooth and nail for us to be together"

I look at him, the look in his eyes as he thinks of my aunt is that of love

"How did you guys end up together then?"

He chuckles

"Freshman year, we met again at a party. It was nice, she was there with her roommate, I asked her for time alone and she refused but her roommate sold her out and left us alone. She wasn't happy"

I chuckle, my aunt can be very feisty.

"I know, she was flat out giving me attitude. She blamed me for her friend's death"
