The Break Trough

Part 120

[Sindy ]

It's been a week since arrived in the UK and I’m so in love with this place yes the weather here is crazy its rains a lot and very cold , but besides that the environment here is so hip , the shops , the restaurants the tourist destinations .. wow I’m in haven , so while Menzi goes to work every morning i get up and take cab and explore the place , I was not going to sit around and be all bored while my baby is out there getting the bacon
Him : “ so what you going to be doing today ? “
we were cuddling in his bed , since I got here we have been making love each an every chance we get like animals in heat , i'm glad that Austin and Trey are not around because having this place all to ourselves is so amazing
Me : “ I don’t know babe maybe I will just stay in doors .. “ it  was raining cats and dogs outside anyway
Him : “ I think ill call the office and just work indoors today “
Me : “ babe how is that working out for you .. working and studying ? “
Him : “ I need to lean to stand on my two feet babe ,  since my parents do not support what we have I need to be a man and provide for you and for us and spite them by still following my passion to write ” I giggled
Hayke my man here  has been sending money to me every month since he started working yena he does show to be responsible and matured now , yep my baby has grown up to be a man , and I love him to bit
Me : “ babe “
He was busy playing with my hair I tell you this man is obsessed with my hair  , I wanted to touch on the topic that he has been avoiding like plague
Him : “ mmmh “
Me : “when last did you speak to your parents ? “
He cleared his throat and shifted a bit here we go again
Him : “ what’s there to talk about “
Me : “ Menzi ! “ I said softly
Him : “ I know you mean well and I know how you feel about the importance of family , but look at us now , we drifted apart because the people I call my parents did not see you fitting in my life you did not meet their standards and they forgot how I feel about you , im stuck in this freezing place studying to be a lawyer just because my father feels like his legacy need to leave in me  “
Me : “ baby ... you can not keep this anger boiled inside of you ... look At us we still together  and you still living  your dream of being journalist  so reach out to them please its been two years already  “
Him : “ no not now  “
I untangle my self from his arm and jumped off the bed and walked to the bathroom , I hate that Menzi is putting me first in his life , yes I love him but I don’t want him to have this beef with his parents
Him: “ ill think about it “ he yelled at me .. and I smiled

Its been a whole week living at my parents house and tomorrow is Joy 1st  birthday I was not looking forward to going there but well I know mom will drag me there either way , I have shut myself from the world , I needed to find myself  I felt like I’m losing my mind , I hate that I don’t have any control of how I feel about Zoe , its more of an obsession  mom told me that I need time away from her to find myself and what matters the most  , there was no day that went by with out me thinking about her I will pick up my phone and attempt to call her but think other wise , yes I have been with other girls in the past and no one come close to Zoe , she just completes me but fighting with her hurt me so much , how do I fix it  and how do we move past this at all , I said lot of things out of anger and rage but right now I feel like I acted like a jack .
Mom : you know that you can not hide here forever “
Me : “ I hurt her mom “
I looked down ,I have been on my sweat pants and t-shirt  I probably look like a zombie and i did not give a shit
Her : “ I’m glad that you told her what was eating you inside , but ,now its time for you to pick up the pieces  and sort things out “
She handed me a plate with blueberry muffin with a bowl of vanilla ice cream and homemade custard ... yes my mom is the best
Me : “ where do I start ma”
Her : “  Langelihle she is hurting as much as you do, you know ...  “ she breath out loud
Her : “ you treated Zoe like an egg and you did everything in your powers not to aver hurt her , by doing that you boiled everything inside that she did that angered you  ... and one argument triggered everything out “
Where do I start? it's not easy  said than done ,
Me : “ how is she ? “
mom and Zoe have a good relationship and they call each other almost everyday 
Her : “ she not giving anything out , can you believe when I asked about you she acted as everything is fine... that girl will cover for you even if you committed murder she’s got your back ... so go back home and sort out your issues “
She slap the back of my head
Me : “ mom “
“ Hayi Zama, stop abusing my Son “ my father said that walking in
Her : “ akezwa nje ... stubborn like sum people I know “
Dad : “ funny how you love my stubborn ass “
He held her waist and started kissing her ,
Me : “ guys I’m still in the room “
Mom : “ haysuka go to your wife mani you overstayed your visit “
I dropped my jaw , this two were all acting cozy as fuck in front of me , that was my queue to go to my room
Mom :” are we still going to Joy birthday tomorrow Mr grumpy “
Me : “ i don’t know “  i walked away , what if Zoe is there how will she react ... and how will i react
I threw myself  on my bed and the first thing that caught my eye was Zoe pic on the side table , I picked it up  looked at it , not even once I thought that we will fight like this .. why do I have so much anger inside me .. do I love her that much that she will be dearth of me in the process , I never want to picture my life with out her  but why does it feel like we drifting apart... I envied what my brother has with Mpume a family and forgot that me and Zoe we are in a total different relationship all together , I thought I can accept it and live with it but who am i kidding , would things have bean different if Nkanyezi was still alive? I sigh and place my head on the pillow.

“ Mpume ... “
I looked up it , and almost choked on my food , he was smiling and still had that aura about him that made my hair on the back of my neck stand up , I swallowed food and wiped my mouth he was still standing there looking at me smiling , i kept on telling myself to breath was it happening no.
Me : “ wa... what... Are you doing here “ even my voice was not audible that I had to clear my throat in the process
Him : “ you look good love the new look“ he flashed a smiled
Me : “ ufunani  la ? “

He seat down , opposite me no... no .. no I looked around shit Banzi is going to kill me
Me : “ Thabo what do you want ? “
Him : “ well I will have spicy wings and sweet potato salad and have a chat with an old friend“  this guy , must have a death wish , I cliqued my tongue and stood up , and he stood up to and held my hand , I yank it away from him and gave him a dearth stare 
Him: “ ok I’m sorry “  he let go of my hand
Me : “... stay away from me ok “
Him : “ Mpume please... just hear me out “
Me : “ fuck you yezwa ... and fuckin stay away from me uyezwa!!!! “ I cliqued my tongue took my bags , he frowned when he notice the ring on my finger my phone started ringing  it was my mom calling me and my screen saver was Joy pic he looked at my bags I was carried Earth child shopping bags  ,
Him : “ you Married now ?? and have a baby ? “
I did not answer him  took my bags and stomped out , I have no idea how I got home because I was mad  even crying , why cant Thabo leave me alone ... the minute I got inside the house I ran to the bedroom , I found joy and Banzi sleeping soundly with Joy’s leg on Lu face I froze and just looked at them ... I can never allow Thabo to destroy what I have built my small family ...
“ what's wrong mamakhe ? “ he asked me with his sleepy deep voice
