《MAZULU》
••••••••••••••••Since we don't want Yaya to know our suspicions we made sure that she goes out for a while and as for Busani he is at work Dladla arrived this afternoon now we are going to consult I'm with my husband I want to know what's going on with my son I can't just watch my son's marriage fall apart just like that....so now we are consulting we are waiting for Dladla to give us answers to our questions
Dladla:umuthi osetyenziswe yile ngane ku ndodana ustrongo impela kuyacaca ukuthi ebefuna ahlale lomuthi kuze undodana azokumushada ebezohamba ashaye nomakoti wakhe bekuzokwenzeka konke loko uma beninga fonanga kodwa besengikwazi konke loku nogeza ngize nomuthi ongalapha undodana kulento ayinikiwe yile ntombazane(the muthi used by this girl to your son is very strong it's obvious she wanted it to last which would result to him marrying her and end up abusing Yamihle all this would have happened if you didn't call but since I already knew what happened I came with a cure to remove this spell he is under)
He gives us a bottle with the cure inside it in liquid form
Dladla:give this him with anything in liquid form
My husband:siyabonga Dladla usisize kakhulu ndoda
Dladla:akukho nkinga Bhengu...
Bhengu:mkami khawusenzele ukudla
Me:yebo baba
I get up and make them something to eat as they converse I serve it to them and then leave them and go upstairs to our room now I have to come up with a plan for Busani to drink eat without being suspicious because I'm sure it is bitter so he will surely taste it when drinking a juice or something
LATER THAT DAY
Busani is back I take the bottle and go to his room(the guest bedroom) with a cup so he can drink the first time I see him coming out of the shower
Him:hey ma
Me:hello baby....Dladla came and gave us these to give you to drink for cleansing since you lost the baby and we are yet to do the cleansing ceremony so you have to drink this till the time to do the ceremony comes are we clear Busani
Him:ohh okay yes ma we are clear
Me:here drink the first cup
I pour it for him and he drinks...good!
Me:I'll make sure you drink this while I'm here
Him:no problem ma
It's a good thing he is not disputing this
《2 MONTHS LATER》
Busani has been drinking the herb I think I see some changes because now he has been trying to get closer to Yaya but Yaya is not budging because he really hurt her at first he would avoid a room with Yaya now that has changed he must work hard to get her back I'm glad this herb is working Dladla jas helped us
《YAMIHLE》
••••••••••••••••••Being a mother is a foreign yet good feeling when I look at my son I just feel happy right now I just finished showering I'm going to have breakfast now and thankfully Nkosi has not woken up yet and I must say he is not troubling me with sleepless nights and waking up 3am when he sleeps he sleeps right through and he doesn't cry that much he only cries when he is hungry or needs a diaper change other than that he likes sleeping and if he's not sleeping he is playful he is 5 months old now and Busani's parents came to visit since they left when he was a month and 2 weeks old so they came to visit
I have been avoiding being in the same room as Busani even though I notice some changes in his behavior the only time we are together is when we are with the baby that's it I'm back at work however today I'm not working I have a nanny MaZulu recommended her since she's technically part of the family and has been working for the Bhengu family for a while her name is mam'Mavis she's a sweet elderly lady she treats like I'm her daughter and I treat her like she's my mother and she's filling that gap...
My phone rings and I see that it's Bandile and I haven't spoken to him in like a year now because ever since I got married him and Scelo never checked up on me so I don't really know why he is calling me what could he possibly want...
Me:hello
*****I say coldly*****
Him:hey Yaya how are you??
Me:I'm good how can I help you??
Him:why are you so hostile little sis??
Is he really asking me that??
Me:Bandile I'm busy how can I help you
Him:Yamihle I'm your elder brother don't talk to me like that
I keep quiet waiting for him to continue ...he sighs
Him:I called to check up on you sis
Me:it's been a year and 2 months why are checking up on me now
Him:Yaya I know you think I abandoned you b-....
Me:of course you did I went through so much and you weren't there for me to support I hot married to a family I didn't know my husband didn't want anything to do with me my parents treated me like shit I had a miscarriage and lost one of my twin babies YOU WEREN'T THERE why did you call me now after all this while what makes you think I need you check up on me now??
Him:can we please meet up and talk I'm so sorry baby sis please....
Me:I'll send you a location to my house then when you feel like it you can come
I hang up and send him the location I don't know why he thinks after ignoring me and not checking on how I was doing for a whole fucken year everything will be okay or be the same yaz I'm tired of my family
I go upstairs and go check on my baby I get there I see Busani holding him I walk in and I greet him he greets back...
Him:I've already given him a bath he just needs to be fed
I walk over to him and take the baby and I walk out so that I can feed him Busani follows
Him:how long will you ignore me Yaya
Me:Busani it's too early for me to deal with you seriously
Him:well at least please stop ignoring me Yaya please MaBhengu
I just look at him for a while and then I start making porridge for Nkosi I don't answer him
Him:Yaya.....
Me:Busani I'm not ignoring you we are talking right now aren't we??
Him:but you don't want us to talk about what I want us to talk about
Me:you know when I woke up today I was so happy however some people don't like seeing me happy it was first Bandile now it's you
Him:Bandile called??
Me:not that it's any of your business but yes he did
I start feeding my cute baby and he seems to enjoy it this is my pride and joy Siphosenkosi I smile
Him:what did he say...
Is he really asking something that has nothing to do with him
Him:you're my wife how is it that it has nothing to do with me
I guess I spoke that out loud
Me:I'm your wife when it suits you angithi
Him:I love you Yaya...
I just nod because I don't know what to say but what I know is I still love him but right now I want him out of my sight
Him:I don't expect you to say it back but I want you to know that I love you and I want to work on us I miss you....
He kisses my forehead the walks up the stairs
