Chapter 37

*MUSA*

Imibongo walks in and walks up straight to me, nose flaring, ears all pink.

“What did you do to her?” she asks shoving my shoulder.

“I didn’t do anything. I just wanted to apologise to her that’s all” I explain.

“Yeah and apologizing lands people on a hospital bed? You are married, you shouldn’t even still be in communication with Athule or what? You have feelings for her now?” Mimi fires and I don’t respond “Don’t tell me you have feelings for Athule Musa? You’re a married man!” Mimi points out the obvious.

“What happened?” she asks annoyed and I explain everything to her about my meeting with Athule

“You have to leave. I need to call Thabo, remember Athule’s baby daddy?” she points out rudely and I keep quiet not wanting to stir up any trouble than I already have.

“I’m not in the habit of getting involved in people’s business but focus on your wife. Leave Athule alone, you’ve said enough and you’ve done enough. This thing of you going back and forth between your wife and my friend needs to stop. You cannot continue to hurt two women like this, get your head right and focus on your marriage. When you got married you relinquished all your rights to other women to focus on one woman only and that’s what you should be doing instead of this.

What happens between Thabo and Athule is not any of your business, it shouldn’t even bother you because you have your family you need to be worried about. I hope that this is the last time you try whatever with Athule. She’s pregnant, she doesn’t need your drama or Thabo’s for that matter. Thank you again for calling me but please leave"

I nod and go out straight to my car. I hit the steering wheel like crazy banging my head on it. Fuck how did this get this messy!

Its problem after problems, I am just grateful that she's not loosing her baby. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if anything happened to her child.

Now back to what Imibongo said. I've had flings before, I never had any sort of attachment to them like this one, not really attachment but I mean the kind of dramatic attachment.

Yes Ayanda and I have a baby, somehow that it suppose to make us have this bond but nah. Actually I am over her, having a baby with her was a mistake,it was never supposed to happen

Then with Athule, I don't know. She's different from all the women Ive been with. Don't get me wrong I love my wife but there's this thing about Athule that I have never had with any other women.

I see Thabo driving in speeding. I could see him but because he's in a hurry he doesn't seem to see me. I look at his registration number and write it down. He gets out of the car and run inside.

I get out of my car and go to his, before I could reach it my phone rings. It's my wife. I brush my face practice my breathing. I hope there's no other video of Athule and I trending

" Baby" I say after answering and I am greeted by Junior screaming his lungs out.

" Could you come back home?I don't know what to do with him, he won't stop crying. I've given him everything" she sounds like she's crying too. I rush back to my car and start it driving out

" Don't cry I'm on my way..please hold on give him the phone, let me talk to him" I say checking out the cost to see if there's any cops around. I can't have another offense especially with the law

" Junior can't talk Musa, get here already!!" She yells and I understand her frustration.

" Trust me. Place the phone on his ear"
