Its been a few days since I started my business and so far everything is going very well . My mother in law made a scene when she saw me preparing for my first opening. But luckily Thabiso told her to back off and she listened and every thing has been going well. I have decided that I will save the profit money that I will make here and go for ultrasound. I want to enjoy my pregnancy as much as I can. Alone! I know it sound selfish right now but hhayi Tee does not deserve to know. I dont know I might change my mind in the future but for now it's my little secret .

I was busy with the customer her Lungile strolled in from the gate holding her belly in a caressing way. I looked away from her. Her belly is starting to show now. She walked until she got to me and the customer she greeted us
Her: Just the person I wanted to see." I kept quiet because I thought she was talking with the customer . She looked at me.
Me: Oh . Um.. You are talking to me. I thought you were talking with my customer
Her: No , it's not a problem at all. But yes you are the person that I wanted to see.
Me: Okay, so how can I help you? "
I finished with the customer and I led Lungile inside " Please sit down"
Her: I wanted to ask that can you please be my maid of honor ?
Me: No I cannot do that I'm sorry.
Her: please atleast think about it?
Me: Oh. I'm not promising anything tho. Cause I honestly dont want to.
Her: oh I know im slightly the cause in the breaking of your marriage sisi and for that I apologize and also for being bitchy about it and demanding all of Tee's time. It just the hormones are showing me flames. I hope we can be able to put all of this behind us so that we'll be able to live in harmony as we will be in each other's spaces a lot once I get married . Let's just please continue loving our husband .
Me: there is no need to apologize. Its water under the bridge "
I did not want to talk with her about my problem with my husband and she shouldn't be saying all of this here because she is the cause vele of my misery. She saw the wedding band after all.
Her: Thank you. Tee told me about the exciting news, that you've accepted our baby as your own. And honestly I couldn't have asked for a better sister wife than you . And please let not let the fact that you cant have babies come between us. Please dont be jealous of me because I plan to give Tee so many babies "
Hhaybo this girl!
Me: Hhaybo
Her: I saw you looking away when I was entering the gate. And I think you were jealous. But its understandable because I have everything that you wish you had too. "
Me: Who told you that I cant have babies?
Her: My mother in law told me. Nakhona I didnt ask she just said shes glad that her son's cows aren't going to waste this time around . And I put two and two together.
Me: and you got the wrong answer baby girl. What If its Tee that is sterile? "
She coughed , I didnt even get her water because she has gotten to my last nerve .
Her: Obviously Tee is not sterile. I'm pregnant aren't I?
Me: I didnt say anything. But if you say so. Okay. "
I could see that she was getting angry .
Her: please think about becoming my Maid of honor. It would really mean much to Tee.
Me: Dont you have friends to ask? Or even your neighbors? Cause mna I'm not becoming your maid of honor .
Her: I just want you . Think about it.
Let me go and greet abadala"
Me: Okay.

The nerve of her. I will not be her maid of honor finish and klaar. Coming to my house and asking me this nonsense. ANGANYA. I would never watch my husband getting married to the love of his life that close. I'd rather watch in the shadows. Nakhona I dont even think I will go. Maybe I will be staying in a hotel. Sipping Champagne.

Narrated
Lungile greeted her mother in law and she sat down.
MaNdlovu: Aw kodwa makoti . Why didnt you call so you will be fetched . The distance you walked and this sun too hot it is not good for the person in your condition. Hows my grandbaby ?
Lingile: Hes growing Ma. I did not walk here. I got a lift. "
MaNdlovu: How are the wedding preparations?
Lungile: everything is going well Ma. I can see that even the house will be big.
Mandlovu: eh. You can tell by just lookng at the foundation only . My son has really chose well with you .

She smiled and looked down. She was happy that her mother in law adored her. She wondered how it will be like once the truth comes out.
Lungile: I came to see my sister wife. I asked her to be my maid of honor , matron Ma..And she refused. I'm just not so happy. I was really looking forward to us bonding. But now how am I gonna do that when she wont let me.
MaNdlovu: Dont worry I will talk to her Mntanam. And you should not worry your self about this. Noxolo will be your maid of honor by the end of tomorrow she will call you. Dont stress now dear child. It's not good for the baby .
Lungile: Please talk to her Mah. I have to go now. I must get back home before it gets dark.
MaNdlovu: Wait for Thabiso to take you back, I'm sure hes on his way coming back now.
LUNGILE: I'm in a hurry Mah.
MaNdlovu: Atleast let me call Thabani to take you home.
Lungile smiled secretly because that is exactly what she wanted and she has already told Thabani of her plans of seeing him. So when his mother called him he was ready!.

☆Thabiso☆
Today I wanted to just chill with my wife with no disturbance. I know its been a too long since we've spent some quality time together. I have been neglecting her I know but it's hard splitting my time between two equally demanding women. Worse Lungile has became more and more demanding since shes pregnant. I know I may sometimes look like I dont care about Noxolo but I do care. A lot. It just that the hardships of life has made us like this. We used to be so in love with each other. But life happened . And i know I have hurt her too much and it's not gonna be easy trying to win her heart back. But I will have to try my best even thou I dont think we will ever get back to where we were .
I started by getting her her favourite flowers and chocolate. Oh when last did I buy her these.? I think just after we got married. Then I drove home.

When I got home mom called me immediately to the family house and I couldn't refuse. I left the chocolate and flowers in the car then went to my mother.

Me: Sawbona Ma.
Her: Thabiso.
Bekala uLungile ezocela uNoxolo abe umkhaphi wakhe ovelele maseshada. Kodwa uNoxolo unqabile, awukhulume Naye.
- Lungile was here earlier asking Noxolo to be her maid of honor . But Noxolo refused, talk to her .
Me: Haw . Wenze kahle vele wanqaba lowombhedo uNoxolo Ma, Lungile akazange wakhuluma nami ngalento. Nami vele angifuni ukuhlambalaza uNoxolo ngaleyo ndlela.
- Haw. Noxolo did well with not agreeing to that nonsense Ma, Lungile did not even speak with me regarding this thing , I also do not want to embarrass Noxolo in that way.
Her: hhayi kulungile. But when she left here she was not happy , I told her I will talk with Noxolo . Kodwa manje angsazi.
- Its fine..... But now I dont know.
Me: I will talk with her Ma. Dont worry. I will see you in the morning.

I went back to the car to fetch my staff. I already knew that Noxolo will not be happy with me. She will think that I somehow told Lungile to ask her that nonsense and i did not even know.
I knocked and got in. It looks like she did not cook as the kitchen felt cold today.
Me: Hello baby. I got you your favorites.
Her: Hi. Ummm Thank you, but ufunani?
- what do you want. ?
Me: What do you mean?
Her: when last have you gotten me any flowers, let alone chocolate?
Me: I know it's been a while my love. I will try and change that.
Her: Okay. You better not be coming here and telling me about the maid of honor nonsense.
Me: I'm highly against that my self so no it's out. I'm glad that you disagreed .
