Narrated
Menzi had finally come up with a plan to keep track of Nomzamo. Since he didn't know who or what was a threat to her he did a bit of a background check with the people she's always with especially Sihle and their mutual friends. It was at this time he wished for a sign or anything from Rose since there was nothing sinister in Sihle's past. He paged through the file he had on Sihle and was getting bored at how squeaky clean and perfect he was on paper. "Mxm lomsunu and his stupid dimples." he said annoyed at the thought of Sihle. He turned the final page and an interesting fact caught his attention. It seemed Sihle was married to a Zinzi Radebe-Madlala.
Menzi
Something appeared off about what I had just discovered I mean the guy was constantly around Nomzamo and he's never wearing a wedding ring. Something was definitely strange Lana. Nelly walked in while I was thinking what to make of this information. What if he's already told Nomzamo he's married? What if uZamo is willingly having an affair with a married man. No way hayi uZamo wam she would never knowingly get involved with a married man.
Nelly: haibo bhuti kunini ndibulisa(bro I been greeting you so many times) she interrupted my thoughts.
Me: oh sorry Nelz how you doing?
Nelly: hai inoba inzima into efundwa kwelophepha sozuve(what ever you are reading must be pretty serious)
Me: ungaqali ( don't start ) with your dramatics wena Nelly.
Nelly: OK bhuti I'm fine wethu had a hectic day and how was yours.
Me: boring until now.
Nelly: oh really, how so?
Me: well my dear Nelz I found out something interesting about ubhut madimples. Wavele wahleka uNelly if only she knew how that guy annoyed me with his stupid face.
Me: usiqedile ukhleka ngiqubeke( are you done laughing can I continue)
Nelly: uxolo bhuti( sorry bro) the way you said that plus your expression just killed me sorry carry on.
Me: so nothing is really suspicious until I saw this part. I handed her the paper and pointed where she should look.
Nelly: it says he's married njani?
Me: what I want to find out is, does Zamo know that fact. I bet she doesn't and once I tell her she'll dump him like the rubbish he is.
Nelly: heee wow and he's always around usisi whenever I visit her the way he fusses over her and the baby you wouldn't tell he's not even the father. Mna ke I never liked him nje he was just too goody two shoes but I liked that he seemed to be treating Sisi well considering the hell you were putting her through. I looked down.
Me: Nelly did you have to remind me of that?
Nelly:im sorry bhuti but it's the truth we might hate uSihle but he was a good support system for uSisi what you did nearly cost her her life and your unborn baby. After all that she found it in her to forgive and allow you in her life again. Please don't hurt her, love potions or not I will disown shame mna. I laughed till tears came from my eyes. She was serious njalo. She gave me a deadly stare.
Me: OK sis Wam I'm sorry I laughed and I know I messed up pretty badly but I will do whatever it takes to win her heart again starting by dealing with that Sihle idiot. I didn't know you love Zamo so much.
Nelly: I love her because you love her and you loving her has brought back my caring brother back not the heartless thug you were.
Me: ya yena she changed me for the better and she didn't even have to do much just by being herself. I smiled at the thought of her.
Nelly: so are you gonna tell her about what you found out?
Me: yep I'm going over there right now plus it will give me a chance to see her.
Nelly: bhuti I don't think you should tell her any upsetting news for now her situation is too sensitive. Wait until the baby is born.
Me: yeah you are actually right last time I upset her she nearly lost her life and my baby. I'm still going there though I have a gift for her.
Nelly: mmm charming your Way to her heart already. I just smiled and got up and went into my room and got her gift and went to go show Nelly.
Me: nansi( here it is). She opened and it and made those silly noises women make mabechazekile.
Nelly: bhut it's so beautiful ncoooo it's even written I love mommy. This is sweet shame when did you become so romantic wasinceda uZoe ngekorobela watsho waromantic(Zoe helped us with that love potion you've now become romantic.)
Me: mxm konje ubuye ubhede( you can talk nonsense sometimes )she laughed and I took the keys and left umuntu uzoguga mayengaphika nalowmsangano owuNelly( I will grow old if I entertain Nelly's craziness). I got into the car before I drove I called Zamo. It rang for a while until she picked up sounding sleepy.
Nomzamo: Menzi hello.
Me: hello Zamo sorry I woke you. Can I come see you? Are you alone?
Nomzamo: I'm with ubaba but his in the study with some business guy of his. You can come plus I'm craving some Indian food. I laughed and quickly shut up before she starts crying for no reason.
Me: okay give me an hour or less I'll go get some I'll be right there.
Nomzamo: thanks daddy we will appreciate it very much. She giggled.
Me: you are welcome mommy. Ngyanithanda. She kept quiet I knew why.
Me: OK bye see u soon. We hung up. I made my way to get some Indian food the only Indian food I knew was breyani sengyobona phambili.
Nomzamo
Menzi called right on time I was starving. That was a well deserved nap. I got up and went to wash my face and then went to check on ubaba. I found him sitting in the lounge with his newspaper looking so chilled with his favorite whiskey beside him.
Me: baba are you good? He looked up and smiled.
Baba: ngiright my baby wena?
Me: silbilambile( we are hungry ) I made a sulking face.
Baba: should I order something you know I never knew how to cook your mom spoiled me too much with delicious meals after her food sort of was torture for me begins I'd be reminded of her. He looked sad I went over to hug him.
Baba: thank you my baby having you around makes me feel closer to her once more I love you my child and I'll do anything to keep you and my grandchild safe all you need to do is trust me enough. I know you may think I'm old and you don't want to bother me with petty stuff, but I'm wise and I can offer some valuable advice.
Me: ngyakuzwa baba. I'll explain everything to you once my baby is born baba. He nodded, the door bell rang I smiled.
Me: that's Menzi. I said excitedly. Phela uphethe ukudla don't judge. My dad stood up nge speed and went before me he now looked angry. I followed behind.
Me: haibo baba what's going on. He didn't answer he just open the door. Indeed it was Menzi who stood there smiling ubaba just took a swing at him I just Menzi go down takeaways and all.
Me: BABAA?!! why did you do that?!
I went to help Menzi up the poor guy looked confused as hell.
Baba: ungaphinde ulbeke inyawo lakho LA kwam( don't ever again set foot in my house again). He stormed back In the house." Nomzamo!!! Get in this house right now!!! " his voice roared like thunder I've never seen him so mad. Bengthukile ( I was scared) and confused.
Menzi: hamba endlin babe, he said holding his jaw.
Menzi: yerrr for an old man your dad can pack a punch yezwa.
Me: I don't know ungenwe yin( what's gotten into him)
Menzi : it's fine ithi ngihambe angekalandi imvubu( let me go before he fetches a sjambok) he laughed. Yazi uMenzi can joke about the strangest things. I wasn't funny and he didn't seemed too fazed. "take this" he handed me the takeaways. " I'll see you tomorrow for our appointment okay" I nodded.
Me: AI kodwa mina ngzombuza ubaba (no but I'll have to ask dad) why he did that. )
Menzi : kulungile babe just know that I love you and our child and I'll do anything to protect you. He reached in his pocket and took out a jewellery box. "this is for you mommy" open in when you are alone and read the note that I put in. Please always wear this no matter how much you can hate me but always wear it for our baby's sake. I took it and said thank you and went inside shame poor guy engasadabukisi Naye. What's gotten into ubaba vele??
