Mphakamseni The Arranged Man

Mphakamseni The Arranged Man
#05
NDLELA (CEO)

Why would Phaka get married to Zelo my whole Zelo something doesn't add up, what is the reason behind this marriage after all? It irritates me enough that I have to face this he-goat everyday. Which person in their right state of mind would marry this thing, a low life man like Mphakamseni for that matter. I know of a perfect plan that will eliminate him, getting him fired will be the start. Zelo was meant to be mine in the first place. I can't stand this humiliation. I need that IT guy he will know what to do.

MPHAKAMSENI (PHAKA)

R1.2 million has been deposited into my account but it indicates that it been transferred from work. What the hell is happening.
"you look like you've seen a ghost, what's up.?" she turns to look at me fully. I honestly don't know how to answer her. What if she thinks I'm a thief and worstly this is her father's company. I can't stand to jeopardize my career like this.
"so.....someone sent me money, I don't even know how to explain this. But the money that is being sent to me directly is from the company's account." I tell her, I'm still glued on my phone"
"ok ismoko yini?" she asked me getting off the bed. She's taking this lightly.
I just hand her my phone and kept quite cause I was still processing this. The minute she saw the notification she almost fainted with her eyes popped out.
"is this some kind of a sick joke, cause if so someone is going to get burnt." She says, the money is way too much and I'm even scared for that matter.
"maybe someone made a mistake. Who would transfer this amount of money into my personal account?" My phone beeped indicating there's an email, I read it and sighed.
"and now what is it?" she ask. I have no choice but to tell her.
"there's a board meeting today at work, I don't feel good about this. Why is everything happening so fast." I'm scared of the out come I might face.
She kept quite for a while and thought to herself, "something fishy is going on, something doesn't add up here I believe someone is behind this. You know what I'll go with you, get ready." She tells me, when your wife's instinct strike in they never wrong.
We prepared ourselves and left for the meeting. When we arrive at the boardroom we find everyone already sitting anxiously . She held my hand and squeezed it a bit. The warmness of her hand made my heart to accept whatever is about to happen.
"good morning everyone. I believe everyone is here." Ndlela says with a proud smile on his face.
"can you get to the point. I have important things to do." Zelo's father stated looking at Phaka with murderous eyes.
Ndlela clears his throat looking at Phaka"as you all know there was a huge amount of millions that were transferred to Mr Ngcobo's personal account this morning." Ndlela says. How did he manage to get all of this information in just couple of hours. The boardroom becomes silent.
"are you sure of those accusations?" Bheki asked Ndlela for confirmation.
"our system never lies "handing them each a copy of the transaction made. Ndlela is so sure of what's happening and he feels confident about it.
"very well then Mr Ngcobo you are suspended with immediate effect without pay. You will be contacted once we gather all the information." Bheki tells me, I didn't see this one coming. How did my life get here? Just when I thought for the first time my life makes sense, my life takes a U-turn.
"but there must be some sort of a mistake here. I know for sure he didn't steal that money. Why are you framing the poor man?" my wife asked the. All this while she was silent.
"all evidence points at him, we don't want scumbags in this company. We are running a multi million company for that matter." Ndlela smirked looking right straight into my eyes. I saw hate, and my hurt shattered into pieces.
"ok, you know what he resigns. Phaka you don't need these backstabbing people! I'm highly disappointed in you dad. You've known Phaka all his life but today you take him as a thief hope this company crumbles down mark my words! Let's go." she grabbed my hand "and another thing if we ever find out that his innocent we will be suing this company leaving it bankrupt. "We left.
"I need you to email me all those transactions I will have to look into it. The meeting is adjured." Bheki say and he walked out of the boardroom leaving whispers behind.

LATER THAT DAY
I was on stress mode, my levels of stress are very high. Just as I thought that I have everything together in life then this happens. I'm now jobless and surely my family is rejoicing for my failure. I felt so emotional and weak. I thought of the wife I married how will she look at her in the face knowing very well I'm jobless. Will I be able to provide for her? Will she stay? I wiped my tears.
"hy look at me" she sat on top of me, "you know when I first saw you at the alter I actually hated you and also hated my father. But as time went by after being married to you I grew to love you, I wouldn't have asked for a better husband". She tells me, she knows how to make me feel better always.
"I feel like a failure. How am I going to take care of you? I've been trying to hustle all my life. Maybe you will also get tired of me and leave. I mean, who would like to be married to a jobless man". I'm defeated and I feel the walls have closed up on me.
"listen her and listen very good Mr Ngcobo. I'm here to stay through thick and thin. The vows we shared infront of our families I will live by them no matter what, right now we need a good lawyer who will look into this and I have someone in mind." She says.
"I guess I'll have to use my last savings." How will be able to pay that lawyer?
"don't patronize me I got this." she took out her phone and calls the lawyer.

CALL CONVO
"Sibisi Attorney how can I help." A voice on the other line greets, she was on loud speaker.
"I need to book an appointment as in yesturday it's very important." Zelo tells the other lady. My wife means business.
"he will be free on Monday at 11:00. You can make it through that time." I don't know what my life would have been without this woman. What will happen if I get to live my life without her?

NGCOBO HOUSEHOLD
Bheki Khumalo (Sibekezelo's father) was angry and disappointed at the same time. He gave this good for nothing man a job and he gave him his daughter but he still has the guts to steal from him. After that meeting he drove straight to Ngcobo, his father to give him his piece of mind.
"I gave that useless thing of yours a job and guess what he decides to steal from me not just any amount but R1.2 million." I tell his father, I'm fuming in anger. And I will make sure that his life will be behind bars for life.
"his not my son, he has never been one and don't mention that haliot in my house. Didn't I advise you not to give him that job look at the results now. It's your stubbornness that will make you loose millions." Simon tells me, his not even bothered about the whole situation at hand.
Muzi was standing in the passage listening to their conversation he smiled and walked away. He took his phone and called the journalist. Now this is the perfect start to ruin his brothers reputation. How he can't wait to see him begging for his life.
"This is just the beginning dear brother I'm so going to crush you and this time I will make you commit suicide and succeed."
