Chapter 42

*ATHULE*

Thoughts are running wild in my mind and the first thing that pops up in my mind is to press charges on Imithandazo. This will be the first step to making Musa pay, if he loses his wife then he loses everything. He's already lost his job and if I could take the evidence I got from Luzuko to the cops then he might get arrested and if the law doesnt help me then I'll take matters into my own hands. At this point I just want justice for Thabo. He didn't deserve to die like that and for Musa to carry on as if he did nothing, it pisses me off!

I get into my car and drive to the police station, thank God for my light skin because my cheek is already swelling up and her fingers are clear on my cheek.

I walk into the police station and I'm grateful its not busy. I walk over to the lady behind the front desk.

"I'm here to press charges" I say and she looks up at me carelessly until she sees the slap on my face.

"Uhmm, ok. Please come this side" she says and then leads me to an office and has me sit down.

"I'll need you to narrate everything to me" she says opening a file for me.

"I want to press charges of assualt against Imithandazo Ndlovu and her husband Musa Ndlovu" i start off and she looks at me confused waiting to hear the story. I narrate everything to her and then I hand her the file containing information about what happened to Thabo.

"Because you saying you hit her back and may be bruised more than you, the assualt might not hold" she says.

"I thought attacking a pregnant woman was against the law or has that changed?" I challenge and her eyes widen.

"So you one of those side chic-" she snarls but I cut her off.

"My baby daddy was killed by this woman's husband. I was never his side chick, hes a mistake i love to regret. Will you help me or not? Or will I need to talk to your station commander about your attitude towards me and these 2 cases?" I ask her and she swallows.

"That wont be necessary. I will send officers to their home right now Ma'am a-" I dont hear the rest of what she is saying when  sharp pain shoots from my lower abdomen. I close my eyes trying to breathe in and take in the pain but the next one shoots even harder then the first making me arch off the chair and cry out painfully.

"Miss are you ok?" She asks coming over to me.

"Just sort this thing out please" I say and she hesitates but moves to make the call. I try to stand but the next pain throws me back on the chair and I cry out painfully unable to hold in the pain anymore. I look down to my Jean's and I'm bleeding. I shake my head crying.

Lord if you get me through this I promise to behave. I cant lose the only reminder of him that I have. I promise to do right by you. Just save my baby.

I pray silently as the police officer rushes me out of her office and drives me to the hospital.

"I cant lose my baby. Please"

*IMITHANDAZO*

What the hell did I just do? I kneel on the ground next to Musa and take out the knife stuck on his arm. He looks at me weakly,I brush the blood off his face while trying to press on one wound but blood is coming everywhere

"I'm sorry.. I did love you.. and I.."
He coughs and the blood splashes my face I scream. I feel him being weak on my arms,his eyes changing

"Musa don't do this to me!oh nkosiyam what am I going to say to our children? Baby I'm sorry..I.   Musa? Musa?"

I slap his face when I feel his head tilting to the other side. My heart is beating so damn fast I swear it's going to come out of my mouth.

My son's crying from the bedroom bring me to life. I place Musa softly on the floor and get up crying.  I'm shaking, this isn't real.
