I had a great vacation, short lived but I missed my little girl and before candy steals her and run away I had to return. I can say things are back to normal, Thiko is back at work and I'm a stay home mom. It's been three weeks since our vacation, I still have no doubts that I made a good choice of being Thiko''s. I had dreams of these moments when we met, I planned of us having a family together and building home. This is what they mean when they say dreams come true.
As my usual day goes, I take good care of Denzhe and make sure she smiles before napping. Then I do my chores, then watch TV. I need a new hobbie before I get fat or go crazy being here.
"Babe, where's Denzhe?" Candy
"Where did you come from?" I ask
"The door..." she points
"Just knock, don't use the alarm Candy, just knock" im annoyed
"I did" she protests
"Candy..." I close my eyes before I even lash out
"You know what, never mind. Denzhe is taking nap in the playroom. Just don't wake her up because you're bored or something..."
She cuts me "Haibo, what do you take me for?"
I look at her, I have no energy for this.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" I stare at her
She raises her eyebrow but doesn't say anything for a minute.
"Where's Grant?" I ask
"Working for now" she answers not looking at me
I focus on the TV as well.
"This is too real for me..." she exhales
"His love language is too real for me, I don't think I can do this" she continues
"Well, you can run...you're a runner after all Candy" I say and look at the show
"I just don't see the good in everyone and everything like you, men lie and cheat. Why am I being biased? Humans are conniving and sneaky, it's pathetic. If you don't feel anything, why drag someone along? I don't understand the concept of using love as an excuse for sex" she exhales and wag her head
"I don't know but I doubt his feelings sometimes, I've never experienced it so it's too deep for me." She explains
"You are scared, it's okay. I have no words to convince you or change your mind." I say
She smiles
"It's shocking, considering the fact that you are the perfect person for this, I thought I was going to get a speech from you." I say
"I'm not perfect" I correct
"Because you slept with Tk's distant relative, after he cheated on you with your colleague" she rolls her eyes
"Yes, they're best friends" I protest
She looks at me like I just said something stupid.
"Grant, khumo and Luke are Thiko's friends, not Gudani. Yes they were together in UK, his father married Gudani's mother but that's about it. Besides, of all of them Luke is the closest to him" she points out
His name makes me unsettled, she had to say it two times as if I didn't hear it the first time.
"Wanga, are you okay?" She's now on my face
I nod.
"Okay, good talk. I'll go and check on Denzhe now" she's already up
Shit, I am thinking about him...Focus Wanga. I pick up my phone and text Thiko, a great way to distract myself.
I'll go and check on Denzhe too, before candy wakes her up.I still feel guilty for feeling the way I did when I heard his name. I don't want to make it sound deep but my heart skipped...Shit! I fall on my knees and take Candy in my arms.
"Babe open your eyes, please" I say filled with panic
God, who do I call? Thiko won't answer his phone, I'll call Grant. I dial his numbers, it rings but no answer.
"Answer the phone" I say out loud dialing Grant's number again but he doesn't pick up.
I call khumo but his phone goes straight to voice-mail. I don't know but an ambulance will get here late, so I will hate myself afterwards...
"Hey..." he answers
Focus!
"Hi" I say
There's silence, why am I making this weird?
"Candy fainted...I couldn't get through to Grant or..."
"Where is she now?" He cuts me
"She's at my place, please call..." he hanged up on me
It looks like my last resort should've been my first resort. I call the ambulance, they said they're on their way.
Denzhe is up now crying, I breastfeed her waiting for the ambulance to get here.The alarm goes off, that was fast. Emergency response is not this responsive. I walk to the door and open...
"Where's she?" He asks passing me still stagnant on the door.
What is wrong with me? I walk back to where Candy was but he already has her in his arms walking towards me.
"I'm coming with you" I make way for him to pass then follow him.
He doesn't say anything as he drives or even look at me, I'm on the back with Candy and Denzhe.
"Please tell him that we're on our to mediclinic now, he'll find us there" Luke says on his call
He hung up.
"Who was that?" I ask
"Grant's PA" he still doesn't look at me
I didn't think this would be so awkward and silent, but it doesn't matter now I have important things to deal with.
We arrive at mediclinic, Luke rush to the emergency room and comes back with 2 nurses and a stretcher. I step outside of the car to make way for them. They get her on the stretcher and rush to the emergency room.
"Please wait here Mrs" the nurse says to me
I sit on the couch waiting for Luke, I don't know where he went. Denzhe has been saying things that I don't even understand, it's good being a child not knowing what is going on.
"Thiko's in a surgery, so he'll be here when he's done." Luke says sitting next to me
"Thank you for coming. I know hate me and I..."
"I don't hate you...you made it seem like you were never going to call if you reached one of my friends. I don't blame you, I did cross my boundaries." He looks at me
I swallow.
"You're happy and that's all that matters to me." He looks at his phone for a second
"You can see her now..." the nurse says
That was fast.
"Are you sure, she's up already?" I ask her
"Yes, we have her on fluids. She's okay now" she smiles and walk away
"I'll check on her" I say and get up
He doesn't say anything but remain sited.
