Chapter Forty Five.

"Focus on the journey, not the destination."

The night I spent with Bangi's family turned out to be a night I'll never forget. The talks we had here made me feel right at home and made me love this new place even more. The tons of gifts waiting for us to be opened and hopefully used were all over the downstairs area.

The past week has been somewhat of a very occupied one. One of the things that had me the most worried was actually making it to Khaya's soccer match because we couldn't afford to not make it. We both promised to be there and that promise was something we had to keep and I was over the mood when we did get there to watch the boy play like a star. Khaya even made me more of a proud sister when he scored one of the winning goals for his team, playing beautifully.

He was too appreciative that I could be there to support him and that made me happy.

Nyiso had to come and see the place that was all over the internet once again. I just had to accept that most things that we do was probably going to get to the ears of these reporters and we'd once again be the talk of the town. Baby Shazi was also entering a new week and was treating me very well. My check up was getting closer and closer and I couldn't wait for that.

After that check up I'll get an app. A pregnancy app that will help me in keeping track of my own baby and also learn more. You can never know enough on this planet Earth.

Tonight was going to be our first night out. We could call it our date night if you may and I was excited beyond anything. I even pulled out one of my new dresses I bought when I was shopping online for Luthando's things. I felt like spoiling her and that's what I did.

"You have amazing skin," the lady doing my make up says. She's been blending and making me look pashash and I have to give it to her, I didn't look too overdone.
"Thank you," I say and allow her to lift my head.

When she's done she stands back to look at my face and I smile nervously. The nod she gives me before spraying my face with setting spray has me relaxing a bit. I haven't seen my eye-shadow colour.

"I'm done. Are you ready to see yourself?"

I nod, taking the hand mirror from her. I'm in awe with what she's managed to do to my face. I was beaten to utter perfection. I don't even waste time in paying her all her money with an addition of a tip.

After she leaves I quickly slip into my red figure hugging number that reached the length just below my knees. The best part of this dress the slit that rose right past my thigh. My golden strap block heels are on next. I inspect myself on the mirror making sure what I was wearing made sense. Okay. I like this. Even the dress was sitting right on all my curves and it didn't feel uncomfortable.

"Mhmm-mhmm, stufuza sam," I hear him say, causing me to look up and find him leaning on the frame of door. Arms folded in front of his chest. "Waze wamuhle ngane yomuntu."
"Haybo," I blush and glance down at my toes.
"Let me get a closer look at the woman I call my wife."

He steadily walks forward as I looked at him and he looked back at me. There was so much love in those eyes that it was so hard to look away. He looks delectable too, a feast for the eyes in so many ways. And yes I was drooling over him.

"Sthandwa sam, uyazibona kodwa ukuthi umuhle kanjani?" He stands behind me allowing me to take him in through the mirror.
"You're exaggerating though," I giggle.

"Cha, nakancane. Have you seen how beautiful your smile is...there it is...it just lights up my world and makes me feel like everything is going to be okay, and those eyes that light up when they see me, I notice it all my love and all of it makes my heart skip a beat," he says and reaches down to hug my waist resting his head on my shoulder. "You even smell good. Makes me wonder why I haven't ripped you out of this sexy dress."
