Nomzamo
I got into the house ngalanda ubaba straight( I went after dad) I was so mad at him why would he just punch Menzi like that with no just cause. I found him seated at the lounge continuing to read his newspaper like nothing has happened.
Me: haibo baba what was that??
Baba: Nomzamo why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me Menzi had left you for another woman? Yoh embarrassment washed over me I mean how did he even find that out.
Me: baba it was not as you say it.
Baba: so uMenzi didn't leave you for another woman? " he did but... " " so he didnt bring her to hospital when you were admitted?
Me: baba let me explain everything to you. I began telling my dad everything about the whole Zoe debacle how she bewitched him and was spending his money recklessly. I told him how she was found dead in my room with high levels of a drug that slows down the heart rate. Its used in people with an abnormally fast heart rate.
Me: baba can you imagine what she was doing in my room if not to kill me? Menzi was never himself he jumped at her every command i thought i lost him to her. Theres one more thing.
Baba: what my baby?
Me: Menzi showed me a picture of this Zoe alongside Thandi. My dads face changed.
Baba: that witch even death managed to cause havoc in your life, i nearly lost you and my grandchild kodwa bungangitsheli ngani( why didnt you tell me)
Me: honestly baba inorder for me to cope before Menzi even came back to his senses i blocked everything out and talking about it would have just rehashed all the pain. Im sorry i didnt say anything.
Baba: its okay now i just feel bad for hitting Menzi ngoba isimo sakhe sicishe sifane nesam( because his situation is almost similar to mine) the only difference is Thandi didnt bewitch me i willingly had affair with her kanti ngifaka umthakathi eympilwen zethu( little did i know i was bringing a witch in our lives)im so ashamed your mothers death and your suffering kwaku ngenxa yam( it was all my fault) he covered his face. I went over to comfort him.
Me: baba its all in the past now we have to move forward please dont beat yourself up about it and uMenzi dont worry about him if he can survive bullets then a punch is nothing uzoba strong. We both laughed.
Baba: still i would like to apologise for getting the wrong end of the stick.
Me: ill tell him to call you, ubani vele oktshelile baba? He thought for a minute.
Baba: Madlala told me.
Me: uSihle? But why would he do that when i told him i wanted to tell you everything when im ready. I was mad at him yazi. Ubaba tried to calm me down and i did uSihle yena ill deal with him when i have eaten i was too hungry to breathe fire on him. I got up took the takeaways to go warm them after that i dished up for me and dad. He came to kitchen and we ate. The food was delicious it hit the right spot. After we were done i rinsed the dishes said my goodnight to dad and retired to my room as soon as i got there i dialled Sihle's number . It rang he didnt pick up. I dialled again this time he picked up.
Sihle: Nomzamo is the baby okay?
Me: dont worry about MY baby we are fine, Sihle where do you get off telling my dad iyndaba zami( my business)
Sihle: aibo Nomzamo what do you mean please calm down think about the baby.
Me: Voetsek think about the baby my foot were you thinking about it when you were feeding my dad half truths.
Sihle: baby please calm down im so sorry i was just concerned about you thats all i dont want Menzi to hurt you again.
Me: Menzi will never intentionally hurt me.
Sihle: oh ngoba hes so perfect right he can do no wrong. So tell me where was he all these months ive held your hand through your pregnancy and if i wanted sex or to use you and leave you why havent i slept with you yet.
Me: its not that its just...
Sihle: you know what just save it Nomzamo im tired of being your emotional punch bag why must i live under Menzi's shadow as if im not good enough.
Me: Sihle what i meant was...
Sihle: just make up your mind i cant go on like this dont waste my time while im making plans for the both of us kanti wena you making plans to leave me. Bye. He hung up.
Hee mara uSihle uyanjwayela yazi im the one whos supposed to be angry and he turns it all on me ai kodwa nami ngihambe ngizfaka. Ever since this whole Thandi mess i been attracting these crazy men in my life and like a fool i fell for them i just felt like i need to get away from it all it was too much for me. All the pain ive been through and trauma had taken its toll on me because i never really dealt with it i just forced myself to toughen up and move on. The only thing that has managed to do for me is dig deeper scars for me. I needed to get some help before i destroy mine and my baby's life. I was still in those thoughts when Menzi called. I didnt answer i let it ring until he gave up. I remembered his gift i took the jewellery box and opened it. I took out a bracelet it was so beautiful shame with an i love mommy inscription. I wore it same time and it look good on my
I took out the note and read it...
" To my dearest Zamo
All my life i never thought there would be a woman alive that could tame my heart. After my mother died i was so angry, angry at God for taking her angry at myself for being a rebel and always getting into trouble when all she did was love me and nurture me but the moment you came into my life i recognised those qualities in you nevermind the circumstances we met under only one truth is i love you always have and always will and i know our child is in good hands no matter what happens between us. So take care of our precious baby and ill do my best to take care of you both.
Ps: please kept your bracelet on at all times
Love Menzi"
It was special and i appreciated his efforts. I know ours was a special kind of love i mean i fell inlove with a man who was hired to kill me well he fell inlove with me first but my point is it seemed doomed from the start but that guy didnt just love me ngomlomo(with his mouth) he proved it over and over by putting his life on the line for me. I owe him my life but besides that i genuinely love him. This is when i decided oSihle bazongmela kancane. I want to fix things with Menzi and fight through the pain he caused me and let me tell you guys just because he was under a spell it didnt make hos actions less painful but for mine and the baby's sake i was going to give him another chance and cut out unnecessary people like Sihle who are now trying to control my life and going against my decisions. I guess he was an emotional punch bag and a supporter because honestly if he wasnt around i dont know how i would have made it during the Menzi and Zoe fiasco. Anyway i made a mental note to see a therapist maybe speaking with someone unattached to the situation would give me better insight as to why i make such impulsive decisions. I took off my clothes and went to take a quick shower came back got into my night dress and went to bed.
Narrated
Caller: boss it's done. Dr Gosai won't be reporting for duty tomorrow.
Sihle : that's news to my ears good job my man. They hung up. Sihle turned to his wife.
Sihle: love our plan is coming along smoothly. Tomorrow Nomzamo will be introduced to our doctor from tomorrow and you will be her "asisstant" so you get to see and hear our baby's heart beat.
Zinzi : thank you love for all this I really can't wait so the Menzi guy yena what will we do about him?
Sihle : I know you won't like this but we need to kidnap Nomzamo ngoba I fear that Menzi fool has too much influence over her and having him around will ruin our plans.
Zinzi : OK I hear you. Can you please get me my meds honey.
Sihle: sure love. He walked out to go get them in the medicine cabinet and went back to his wife.
Zinzi: thanks love now when will we put our plan in action? The kidnapping I mean.
Sihle: if I'm not mistaken she's at 32 or 33 weeks give or take and she needs to build some sort of trust and bond with this new doctor so I think around 36 weeks we can take her vele she's booked to deliver via c-section. Don't worry love leave everything to me.
The following day Menzi went to go pick up Nomzamo for her check up they arrived at the hospital and were told Dr Gosai had gone away for some weeks on a family emergency and that a new ob-gynae would be assigned to her. She didn't feel comfortable at first but seeing as they said the new doctor was fully briefed on her pregnancy and it's complications she felt a bit more at ease. They went in the consulting room. The doctor stood up as soon as they entered and went to greet them and introduce herself. " Good day I'm Dr Sade your new doctor.
