Nomzamo

I think the injection was no longer having an effect because I didn't feel numb anymore however I felt immense pain from my c-section site. Ngazama ukuzbamba( I tried to hold myself ) what exactly was I going to say to these two guys who obviously don't give a damn about me only God knows where they were taking me. The guy who injected me was driving and the other one was behind with me busy on his phone after he was done he turned to me and smiled, not a weird smile or anything he looked concerned in a way. He spoke.
Him: Nomzamo I know the effects of the injection Robert gave you have worn off by now so you probably in pain I'll give you something just now. I didn't speak I just nodded my head. Ai ke when he took out an injection I cried out.
Me : Nooo please not that injection again pleeease I'm begging you.  He laughed mhlambe ngyahlekisa mangincenga nxa ( maybe I look funny when I'm begging)
Him: relax Nomzamo it's just a strong analgesic to help with pain only it won't knock you out or make you numb promise. He looked like he was telling the truth and I didn't want to upset them by being stubborn they  might kill me besides yoh I really needed that painkiller. I then agreed he took a swab cleaned my arm then injected it I said a silent prayer that it really was what he said it is. He spoke to the guy driving.
Him: Robert stop by a pharmacy and get me these medications that I will need.
Robert: listen here Josh just because you are some hot shot doctor doesn't mean I'm your damn skivvy!
Josh: what the heck dude?! OK fine you come back here and do her dressing I'll give buy it myself and I'll tell Mr Radebe about this!
Robert: it would be best if you didn't threaten me. Josh took out his phone and started dialling.
Josh: Morning Mr Radebe...
"FINE, I'll  go! "  Robert shouted. Josh: oh that's just Robert offering to get the things I need at the pharmacy, yes boss the girl is with us OK we will be there by tomorrow if there are no delays. OK bye. He hung up.  Bengizbuza( I was asking myself ) who was this Mr Radebe and what did he want from me.  Honestly ever since Rose died I don't know true happiness this life I was now living was nightmare after nightmare. Before I was happy,  yes I didn't remember my past yes I thought I was an orphan but I had Rose and we were happy I didn't have all I wanted but I had what I needed.  I never imagined I go through such pain. I felt something warm run down my face I realised I was now crying. I wiped my tears they've never helped me but they kept coming my heart was breaking
I didn't know what my fate was if it wasn't for the image of Mbalenhle on my mind I would have just opted for death ngizothola ukphumula( for me to get peace). After some time the van stopped Josh handed the Robert guy a script he took it more snatched it and went away, I assume he went to the pharmacy. When he was gone Josh took out his phone and dialled.
Him: hey did you get the directions I texted you?  OK cool, yes I'm with her now don't worry the plan with work OK bye. He looked at me.
Josh :hopefully after this whole mess those will be tears of joy. He wiped my tears. I will do anything and everything to help a man I owe my life to. I was confused ke Mina.
Me: who is Mr Radebe and why are you taking me to him?
Josh: don't worry yourself about him you won't even get to meet him but to answer you, he is Zinzi 's father. I believe you know who Zinzi is?
Me: Zinzi? What does her father want with me?!
Josh: well he has suspicions that you had something to do with her death.
Me: what?! I never did anything to her it was all Sihle those two  psychos dragged me and my baby in this mess wanting to take my baby as their own, it's not my fault Sihle turned on her.
Josh: I thought as much. He didn't say much after that I had so many unanswered questions I wanted to ask but the Robert guy came back and Josh started to change my dressing the journey continued.

"What the..." exclaimed Sihle in shock as he opened the sheet and finding Menzi instead of Nomzamo.
Sihle : ufunani wena LA?!!  Muphi uNomzamo( what are you doing here and where's Nomzamo) Menzi didn't answer, Sihle took out his gun and placed it straight on Menzi's forehead.
Sihle : I bet this will motivate you to answer me!  Now, where is my woman?!. The injection had now worn off but not completely but Menzi had regained most of the feeling in his body.
Menzi: I should be asking you that question. And you better remove this thing before you get hurt. Sihle laughed.
Sihle: uyahlekisa yazi( you are funny) incase you haven't noticed I'm the one holding the gun here,  wena kahle kahle you can't let go ne?  Why can't you just accept ukuthi waliwe ndoda?  (that you've been dumped man) if you don't tell me where she is I swear they'll be cleaning up your brains off this floor.  As soon as he said that he felt a cold metal against the back of his head. " careful it's not YOUR brains that they'll be cleaning" a voice said from behind him.
Sihle: w-w-who are you?? 
"your worst nightmare. " replied the voice.  While Sihle was quivering Menzi quickly grabbed his gun from him and jumped out of bed Sihle was now facing the two men both guns pointed at him.
Menzi : Gman how did you find me I don't remember texting you my location that son of a gun Robert injected some numbing thing into me right after we spoke on the phone.
George: don't worry about that you have more Guardian angels than you know and don't worry about Nomzamo she'll be back in your arms again I'll tell you everything later.
Menzi: OK sure,  now please deliver this fool to Mr Radebe I'm sure he's dying for a piece of him. Sihle swallowed hard.
Sihle : no no please guys ngyacela Menzi that man will kill me mfethu please I'll pay you anything, I'll do ANYThing.  He went down on his knees. Menzi just gave him a hard punch.
Menzi: that's for kidnapping my woman and child you bastard!! You better tell the hospital that I'm the real father and show me to my daughter then maybe Ill think about not taking you to Mr Radebe. Sihle quickly got up and led the way to where Menzi's daughter was.

Menzi

After clearing up the mess at the hospital ngoba I wasn't going to be allowed to see my girl if they still thought Sihle was the father.  I went to ICU while George took that fool to go wait with him in his car. They showed me to her and the moment I laid eyes on her my heart melted. I've never imagined there would ever be another girl I would love as much as Nomzamo but here she was so tiny and beautiful I just wanted to take her in my arms and shield her from this cruel world. I asked a doctor there about the status of her condition and thankfully it wasnt that bad and my little would be out soon. I was torn between staying behind till she's okay to come home or going to find her mom. After that emotional first meeting with my daughter I went to the car uSihle yena was going to pay for his sins I wanted George to deliver that dog straight Radebe. Before deciding what to do I had to know where Nomzamo was taken to and how I could safely take her back home George really had to bring me to speed as to why he said I shouldn't worry about her and who was this Guardian angel he spoke of.

Narrated

Josh and Robert made sure to get the first flight back home to deliver Nomzamo to Mr Radebe. While on the plane Josh whispered something to Nomzamo then gave her an injection.  In a few hours Nomzamo started sweating up a storm feel nauseous and vomiting she looked terrible. Robert was concerned Josh on the other hand didn't seem too worried.
Robert: aren't you a doctor? Can't you see something's wrong with this girl I ain't delivering no dead person to Mr Radebe.
Josh: just shut up and let me do my job. Josh took out his phone and called Mr Radebe.
Josh: Mr Radebe we might have a situation on our hands. The girl isn't looking too good her vitals aren't looking good at all.
Mr Radebe: Dr  Jackburn tell me straight is bad enough that she'll die?  I need answers from that girl I want to know about her affair with Sihle and their plot to kill my Zinzi!
Josh: sir it looks really bad I'll bring her to you so you can see for yourself.
Mr Radebe : good do that and if she dies oh well less trouble for me. They hung up. Mr Radebe responded exactly the way Josh had expected. After the long flight and Nomzamo being sick a driver was already waiting for them when they arrived and they hurried time Mr Radebe's house.  Once there they took her to one of the guest bedrooms and Mr Radebe went to go see her.
Mr Radebe : yerr she looks awful!  Can she at least talk?
Josh: unlikely and quite Frank I don't think she will live to see the day of light.
Mr Radebe : dammit all the effort I put in to finding her kanti she'll prove useless in the end mcm.. Get rid of her body if and when she dies.  At that moment Dr Josh gave Nomzamo an injection in a few minutes she started to have seizures she shaked uncontrollably.
Mr Radebe : what the hell is going on with her deal with this. Do what doctors do dammit!
Josh : sir im doing all I can. Eventually Nomzamo stopped having the seizures she lay still almost too still Dr Jackburn checked her pulse and it wasn't there.  Nomzamo was gone all her suffering had finally ended all her troubles died with her.

"time of death 10:53pm" said Dr Jackburn and he closed her eyes. Mr Radebe just shook his head and left them to dispose of the body. Josh took out his phone dialled a number, the person picked.
Josh: George, it is done. He smiled and hung up.
