( short chapter )
Nomzamo
I decided to just go continue with supper whatever that was causing Menzi's bad mood will probably blow over. I picked his clothes and put them in the washing basket then left. In the kitchen i made supper my mind was not at all in the food i was making i was still stuck Menzi's outburst. I guess I'll talk to him when hes in a better mood. Nelly came home first she found me in the kitchen finishing up.
Nelly: hey sisi look what i brought you. She gave me a take away it was spicy chicken strips with noodles it was my favourite but on this day the moment i opened it i felt sick to my stomach . I quickly put it down and rushed by Nelly to get to the toilet.
Nelly: haibo? What the heck?. I didn't even respond i was gone. I got to the bathroom the juice came flowing back. After i felt everything feel normal again i rinsed my mouth and went back into the kitchen covering my nose.
Me: Nelly please put that take away in the fridge i think something is wrong with me. Its the second time that smelling food has made me want to throw up.
Nelly: oh really since when?
Me: this afternoon when i tried to warm up some leftover wors but funnily enough i cooked supper with no problems.
Nelly: hmm funny indeed any other changes you've noticed?
Me: changes? What changes?
Nelly: body wise moods wise monthly cycle etc.
Me: whay does my cycle have to do with certain foods making me throw up. She looked at me and smiled.
Nelly: you my dear sister in law might be pregnant?
Me: pregnant? But how?
Nelly: well...
Me: dont answer that. She laughed. Wow could i really be pregnant and come to think of it i did miss my period i guess all the excitement happening in my life i didnt have time to listen to my body. Nelly interrupted my trail of thoughts.
Nelly: earth to Zamo?
Me: im still here, what makes you sure im pregnant.
Nelly: well the morning sickness is one of the signs.
Me: morning sickeness? But this started in the afternoon i dont get you.
Nelly: Morning sickness can happen anytime sisi it basically desribes that sensitivity you experience with certain smells and certain food or just feeling nausea with no trigger.
Me: okay i here you but I'll buy a test just to be sure.
Nelly: okay so where's your bae?
Me: he wad taking a shower last time i checked i guess he decided to stay in his room tonight hes in a bit of a grumpy mood.
Nelly: really? I wonder what happened.
Me: he'll tell me when he's ready I'll wait for him to cool off. Let me dish up and take him his supper to him please tell dad when he arrives his food is in the warmer.
Nelly: okay sisi he's very busy these days ne?
Me: yeah i think its because he's been out of action for a long time so hes enjoying being back in the game.
Nelly: yeah so are you gonna come eat with me?
Me: i dont think so sweety ill eat with my man in his room.
Nelly: caba mna andinandoda? ( you think i dont have a man) heee, she clapped her hands. I laughed yazi Nelly though.
Nelly: its fine sisi i understand ill eat and go to bed meanwhile I'll settle for chatting with MY man while i eat.
Me: ncoo sweet okay good night.
Nelly:good night sisi hope Mr grumpy is better now.
Me: i hope so too. I took our plates amd headed to the bedroom. I was approaching when i heard Menzi laughing on the phone, i sighed in relief i guess he's mood has lightened up. I got in he was on the phone as soon as he noticed me he quickly said bye and hung up.
I didn't even want to ask what was that about.
Me: babe supper is ready let's eat. I gave him his plate he looked at it.
Menzi: oh thanks but im not hungry ill just go get some juice.
Me: ill get it for you and put your food away you can eat it tomorrow.
Menzi: ungazihluphi( dont bother) I'll manage. He took the plate from me and went out. Im really confused why Menzi is acting so cold towards me, i decided i wasn't even going to tell him that im suspecting that i may be pregnant. I quietly ate my food with no sickness this time and felt quite full and satisfied. He came back and went straight into bed it was strange that all this time he was in the kitchen and i realised that he went out with his phone because as soon as he got into bed he put in on his bedside table. I decided to go put away my plate and just sleep im not about to ask him "20 questions " as he said. I went out into the kitchen i opened the bin to throw away tiny leftovers and there i saw the food that i just dished up for Menzi right there in the bin. Yoh that hurt but why would he throw away my food like that if he didnt like it why not put it away for someone else to eat instead of trashing it. Ungijwayela kabi he was taking his bad mood way to far i was going to confront him. I put my plate in the sink and stormed to the bedroom.
Me: Menzi! He pretended to be asleep. " Ngithi Menzi!! " i shook him.
Menzi: haibo Nomzamo im trying to sleep why you fighting.
Me: why did you throw away the food i gave you?!!
Menzi: is that what you are worked up about. I just didnt feel like eating it i told you im full nje.
Me: and you couldn't put in the fridge to eat tomorrow?
Menzi: lalela sisi i dont answer to you and I'll eat what i want to eat and leave what i dont want its not something to nag about. Can i sleep now.
Me: have i done something to you? Why are you acting like this towards me ever since you came back.
Menzi: please Nomzamo can i sleep i dont have time for this. I decided to let him be because the more he opened his mouth the more it felt like he was throwing punches to my heart. I went to take a shower came back and put on my night dress and quietly got into bed. Menzi had his back turned to me that was a first ever since we been together he never slept with his back turned to me he loved to cuddle. I also turned my back to him and lay my head on the pillow i just felt the tears fall onto my pillow. Please God whatever is going on with Menzi let it not destroy us, i silently prayed and pretty soon i dosed off.
The next day i woke up Menzi was already in the shower. I just got up and made the bed and waited for him to finish. He did and i went to the shower i didn't even greet him in case he finds fault with that too.
Menzi: haibo Zamo no goodmorning. I just gave him a nasty stare i wasn't in the mood for him not today. Today im the one in a bad mood. I just got in the shower and took a shower trying to block out the events of yesterday i needed to completely get them out of my system otherwise they would bring me down. I finished and went out. Menzi was still in a towel as if he was still waiting for me.
Menzi: babe?
Me: hmm?
Menzi: are you mad at me for something. Menzi is full of it yazi how can he ask me that after hes rude behavior last night mcm.
Me: oh no im not mad at you why would i be? I asked sarcastically.
Menzi: its just that im getting a cold vibe. Yazi i laughed.
Me: look who's talkin.
Menzi: angizwa( excuse me)
Me: listen can you please borrow me your car i need to go buy something.
Menzi: i can take you.
Me: hai Menzi if you can "manage" so can i. So will you borrow me or not?
Menzi: oh okay. I just finished lotioning up and he came over and embraced me from behind.
Menzi: can i?
Me: can you what?
Menzi: hold the love of my life before she leaves. Damn this man pulls at my heart strings the ice block i put up just melted in that instant. I smiled and let him hold me. I was enjoying it too then his phone rang. He went to go answer it. All i heard him say was im on my way then he hung up. He started looking for his clothes frantically.
Me: whats the rush?
Menzi: nowhere you should worry about.
Me: oh so its like that now well ke bhuti please drop me off at clicks and you can go to nowhere i should worry about. He just gave me a cold stare mcm i took his car keys and went out.
