Watching my little brother break down like that brought back all the those painful memories I've endured in that house, it was too much. I made a vow to myself that I will not want anything to do with them. I couldn't let him stay in that flat alone and my wife bluntly denied to that request.
What will I do when I see them? What will I say? What will happen? I've never thought of all this, these questions have been ringing in my head and I hardly slept.
I just have to prepare for work and try not to stress about this. My wife sorts all my clothing and prepares our lunch box. She doesn't like it if I wear suits all the time, she says it turns her on, she's becoming a sex freak I tell you. After breaking her virginity she hated me a couple of hours without talking to me. But now I'm like her super glue.
"All set," she's busy packing our lunch boxes. "Don't forget your meeting you have with the minister later today." She reminds me. What will do without this woman in my life.
"Shoot me, I totally forgot. See why I love you and always need you by my side." I say kissing her lips. Marriage is a sacred relationship – one where two hearts come together and vow to be with one another for a lifetime. We show our love for each other through our duties and actions but may fail to express it in words. You don’t have to wait for an occasion to express your love for your wife. For all the men out there, here’s a little secret – a woman doesn’t desire diamonds, flowers, or expensive apparels. All she wants is your true and sincere love. That’s one thing that fulfils her heart and soul. This woman right here is my sanity and happiness.

They use one car when going to work, everyone admires their relationship. They always together, Zelo used to have her own office until Phaka couldn't take it anymore, he can't spend an hour without seeing his wife. They now share an office.
"The radio station called again, they want to do an interview with us."
"That's good babe. But you don't look excited about it." Zelo looks  at him and feels concerned. He cannot deny this big opportunity!
"I'm still starting my life, I don't want my face to be all over the internet and newspaper's. I want to be more than I am now then consider doing an interview with them. And I don't want anyone gawking at my wife." He says, the way he is so jealous of his wife, he could kill anyone who comes his way.
Zelo just laughs at his last statement, she knew that her husband is very jealous. It has become a routine that they do everything together cause he just goes crazy with him not seeing her every second. What kind of a man who follows his wife to the toilet. They arrive at work and it's a new day for them.
"I won't let you carry all those, what will people say."
"Hau babe it's just my handbag and our lunch bag."
Phaka just kept quite an snatched the bags from her, holding her hand as they went inside the building with eye's on them.
"If I could have a husband like this all my problems would be solved." The cleaner admires the couple walking past them holding hands madly inlove.
"I wish to see him naked. Surely he has a nice round butt."
"Yoh ay that's too deep, let me continue doing my work instead of listening to you blabbing about someone's husband!" The cleaner left leaving the worker standing there admiring Phaka's body structure with those broad shoulders. She had a crush on him the first day she layed her eyes on him. The feelings are becoming stronger and stronger day by day and it's hard to contain herself. He doesn't even recognize her, she has tried every trick in the book but this man only has eye's for his wife!
"My love you see that girl over there," he says pointing at the worker who has zoned out looking at Phaka with lustful eyes, "she's been giving me these weird uncomfortable vibes. I don't want her to be my PA anymore, something is just off about her."
"Maybe she's just admiring you love nothing hectic." She answered smiling.
"Trust me I know what I'm talking about. I want Dave to be my new PA." That's it his word is final. Once he makes a decision it cannot be disputed.
Dave was called into Phaka's office. Dave is a bubbly human being full of vibes. You can tell that his gay but afraid to come out of the closet.
"Boss P you called for me." Dave says sitting across the table crossing his legs.
Phaka looks intimidating ever since he has started working out on his body. Being called into the bosses office only means one thing 'you're fired.' "I'll get straight to the point. You are assigned to be my new PA." Phaka tells Dave who was first reluctant of the news.
"WHAT! Tell me you joking!" He says and fanning himself dramatically.
"Yes starting from tomorrow. I will ne...." Phaka didn't even finish the sentence. Dave ran out of the office screaming in excitement leaving Phaka astonished.
"What's with the noise so early in the morning." The way this worker has so much attitude. She is rude AF.
"Ow darling you should drop that attitude of yours it sucks. By the way I'm the new PA for Boss P." Dave says excitedly.
"WHAT YOU CAN'T TAKE MY POSITION!"
Dave just went past her, Amanda was furious. She enjoyed working much closer to Boss P. She can't let Dave take what belongs to her, she saw him first she better have him first. She stormed into his office finding Zelo sitting on her husbands lap.
"Don't you have manners now." Phaka's asks in an intimidating voice that sent shivers down her spine.
"I'm.... I'm sorry boss P. But did you give Dave my position." Amanda finally found the courage to ask.
"Yes," answering her unbotheredly.
"But why. No one knows you like I do, no one knows what you like and don't like."  She says folding her arms with so much attitude.
"My wife knows me better than anyone. You not fired but rather going to another department. Everyone will have a chance to be my PA. From tomorrow you will be working in Dave's position. Anything else you want me to clarify?" She shook her head no and stormed out of the office with veins popping out of her forehead.
"Now I believe there is definatly something wrong with her, I mean did you see how dark her eye's were." Zelo says feeling worried about the Amanda.

Sitting on this chair rocking myself back and forth looking at my daughter's pictures. So many emotions have taken over, part of me wants to fix things with my daughter and part of me is scared. How will I survive this. I is happy but incomplete, something was definatly missing. Looks like her husband is taking good care of her, he is giving her something I failed. Will she ever forgive me? Will we ever have a father and daughter relationship? Thinking about this just makes my heart sink. A father admitting to his mistake when at fault would give him great credibility. But assuming that he is actually at fault, which in itself is a big assumption. This is me trying to correct all the wrongs I did to my daughter.
As dads, as people, we all make mistakes. And sometimes we allow those mistakes to hold us hostage or kill the growth of our relationships. I wasn't a good father and I hope it's not too late to fix my wrongs.

Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

“Am I a bad parent?”
It’s easy to feel like your parenting skills are below par in a moment when nothing seems to be going your way, and you’ve exhausted your patience completely.
But the fact that you’re concerned about whether you’re making the right parenting choices is a good sign that you’re not, in fact, a bad parent.
Khethiwe is a very good woman she listens to me whenever there is something troubling me. Unlike Abigirl who was into marriage for a fancy life style. Good thing I froze all the accounts, Abigirl has been trying to contact me and I blantly ignored her. I just don't want nothing to do with her, she made my life upside down.
