The Break Trough

Part 126

[Mpume]

Its Portia baby shower today  it was not going to be big as Pam’s, due to Portia being antisocial , Zoe was not coming so it was going to be few people attending we just booked a table at one of the stake and grill  restaurant , I guess I’m only trying to make her pregnant  experience worth while , she has been stressed being a single parent and all , but well hopefully the baby shower will show her that she not alone .
Pam has not been feeling well and I thought that I must stop by her house before going to the restaurant where will be hosting the baby shower , I knocked and Sbu let me in he looked like he has not slept for days we hugged and greeted each other
Me :” how you holding up ? “
Him : “ some days are good and some days are worse “
Me : “ how is she ? “
He seat down on the couch and slouched
Her : “ I don’t know what to do Mpume , this baby is killing her “
He held his face and looked down , now I felt very nervous what really happening here ? he told me about Pam condition , good  lord and  I only thought she was having some sort of pregnancy illness you know some women have the worst experience when there pregnant , but Stage 2 diabetic and she pregnant it was going to be a life threatening situation from what Sbu told me , I could not help but just sink down and cry , why would Pam hide this from us
Me : “ can I see her please “
He nodded “ she in our bedroom “  I wiped my tears and walked upstairs
I stood by the bedroom door I held my tears seeing pam seating by the balcony with her blanket she looked pale and lost lot of Waite her baby bun was not even visible you could not tell if she was pregnant yet she was 5 months pregnant , I walked towards her , wow they had a beautiful view of the sea it was so peaceful and calming.
Me : “ hay love , “ i stood  in front of her she was sleeping she opened her eyes and  smiled at me her smile did not meet her eyes , we shared a hug after I could not stop my tears , I selat next to her
Me : “ Pam why you never told me that you were this serious “ she wiped my tears”
Her : “ because of this ... already Sbu is crying every night due to my condition , he has not gone to the office for the whole month , I hate what this is doing to him “
I held her hand and looked in to her baggy eyes that had dark circles  , she was so frail I set there looking at her even on her worse she still so beautiful
Me : “ how you holding up ? “
Her : I cant wait to give birth,  I’m so tired Mpume “
She looked down playing with her hands “ yazi I never thought that God will give me such a precious gift but also put me through this , my body is deteriorating I can't  take this any more “ she let out a single tear
Me : “ don’t give up please .. you are a fighter Pam and I know you will pull through “
Her : I just want to be strong for Sbu , because right now his braking I don’t know how to help him, what do I do mpume ? I cunt even hold my baby’s  I’m so weak .. it just hurt “
She started crying , which broke my heart  , I kneeled down and embraced her in hug “

Me : “ It one hell of baby shower shame “  I don’t even know why Mpume insisted we throw a baby shower for Portia ,
I looked at Gugu  she was busy drinking her cocktail
Her : yap you can say that again , but I’m glad I got chance to get away from the house , those kids are driving me crazy “
I laughed  at her , surprisingly she look too good you can not tell that she running a household of crazy boys
Her : “ so this baby shower its only me and you that is attending ?  “
I looked at her and we bust out and laughed
Me : “ I know girl , Portia has no friends you know at her workplace she isolate herself and to top it up she is new “
Her : “ this quite type are very dangerous , they keep quiet and spread their legs , who would have thought that Portia can cheat and fall pregnant and she still busy fucking the guy on the side , yoo your sister kodwa “
She shook her head yep right there this shit just got embarrassing as fuck
me : “ aish I know girl”
her : “lapho Zweli is using Cici as his punching bag because Portia just want to fuck him for fun ... yazi your sister is evil kodwa “
I frowned because now she keeps on referring to Portia as my sister.. yes she is but she just not my favorite person right now , shit I wish we were not related this is just making me a bit mad now ... aish Portia u’loose as fuck
Me : “ can you stop saying “ your sister “
Gugu laughed and I joined her “ she is vele “
Me : “ fuck you ... you know ukuthi I don’t approver of her actions right? “
Gugu: relax chomie ... I’m just doing it to rub it in and piss you off .. is it working ?  “
Me : “ fuseck ... “ we laughed and I playfully hit her on her shoulder
Me : “ on a serious note how is Cici ? “
Her : “ well ...” she sipped her drink “ she want out but Zweli almost killed her when she found her packing , yazi I don’t know what wrong with that man , yazi Cici is paying for Portia doing , just because Portia left him , Zweli  told Cici that he will not allow her live him also “
My mouth was on the  floor , what ?  ooh my god poor thing
Her : “ you know mina ngabe kade ngamubopha .. that is just not normal , Cici lives in fear girl  her escape is church this days “
Me : “ girl we need to help her  or else he will kill her “
Gugu : “ haybo ... how so ? “
She gave me  that dramatical  look ,
Me : how yini manje ? “
Her : “look ...I tried helping her out few  weeks back and gave her shelter for day or two  since she was running from Zweli , but Bongani was not having it , he told me I must not get involved in people's relationship “
Me : “ come on girl , we can not just stand back and watch , not so long ago that was my life ,  I was too young when I saw my mom being abuse by my father I felt helpless... and to sit back and look at other women being abused for another woman’s doing is just wrong “
Gugu : “ yaa you right girl , but how can we help? ?“
Me : “ we need to visit her first and show her that we are here to help and we willing to do whatever it takes  “
Voice: “ visit who ? “ I looked up and saw Portia standing there with a big smile on her face ? “
I looked the other way, Portia was not my favorite person this days and from what I head it made me mad , I could not stand her sight one bit
