Thandolwethu's pov:
A beautiful yellowbone woman with deep dimples comes up to her window. She's thick and she's with an old man. Siyamu hasn't seen her as she's busy with her food.
"Siyamu no this can't be you" she screams and Siyamu looks up and her face lights up
"Lwandile Nyathi?is this you?" Siyamu says and goes out to hug her. A deep,deep hug. The 'i missed you so much' type of hug.
"Sawbona Baba(hello dad)" Siyamu says to the old man. He smiles
"Yebo ntombi(yes girly)" the old man says "Luuh you'll find me in the car " and he walks away after saying that.
"Dude I last saw you when we were 16" Lwandile says and she has tears in her eyes. Siyamu gives her phone to Lwandile and she types her number in and calls it so she also has it
She opens the door and introduces everyone. Lwandile is her highschool friend
"Lwandile can you see that we are the only single ones here?" Bayanda says and we all laugh
"If it's meant to be,it will be" Lwandile says. I've seen this woman before but I don't recall where.
"I'll call you or text you,I've got to go now. Dad is impatient" Lwandile says and they hug one last time. "Bye guys" she says and walks away.
"Yhoo Siyamu you have friends like these and you don't tell me" Bayanda says and we laugh
"It's been a long time since I've seen her" she replies and smiles at the thought. After 3 hours we're almost there. Siyamu gets a call and she answers
"Buhlebendalo" Siyamu says
"Hey love" Buhle says while sniffing "did you manage to buy that pregnancy test?" And I stop the car on the side of the road.
"You're pregnant and you don't tell me?" I ask confused. She disconnects the phone and goes outside. She talks for about 5 minutes and comes back. She sits down and I look at her in the eyes
"Thandolwethu you don't just interfere in my phone calls. I put the phone on speaker because I trust you but you just can't shut up. Can't you?" She says very calmly but she looks mad
"But you're pregnant and you tell your friends first,did your friends impregnant you?"
"This is just pure disrespect. I don't know who told you I'm the one pregnant" she says annoyed and it clicks. Shit,she's been telling me that Buhle has signs of a pregnant woman
"Baby I'm sorry" I say feeling like a piece of shit. She ignores me and pumps the music again. We get to my parents house and I park the car outside. Everybody else takes their suitcases inside but Siyamu is just sitting there busy with her phone.
"We can sleep at a BnB if you want" I say. She looks at me
"Let's go then" she says and that's so unlike her. Why would she not want to sleep here?
"Ntokozo" I call out for him and he hurries to me "Dude please tell the rents that I'll see them tomorrow. We still have some things to sort out so we going to sleep at a BnB"
"Okay dawg. Nibe right bafethu(you guys be alright)" he says and walks away. I book at a nearby place called El DeVino. I drive there and we take our suitcases and check in. We get to the room and we shower. No one has said a word to the other. It's 6pm now and she finally speaks up
"I don't like how you talk to me" what is she saying?how do I talk to her? "Don't give me that look. Even infront of your brother's today,you did the same thing. Talking to me like I'm your servant. Thandolwethu if we're going to be in a relationship together,we have to respect each other. Please respect me as much as I respect you. Another thing is that we can't keep talking about everything infront of other people,some things are meant to be between the two of us. " I never noticed this,I hope I'm not pushing her away
"Siyamthanda I'm scared okay. I'm always living with the fear that you'll leave me and Snothando loves you so much,I can't imagine how she'll feel. Baby trust me when I say I love you and you are my happiness but I'm scared that I'll fall deeply for you and you'll break my heart" I rub my face with my hands roughly and she takes her soft hands and puts them on mine. She takes them off my face lightly and sits on my lap facing me. She wipes my tears that I didn't notice have started falling. Does it hurt that much?just the thought of losing her?imagine how it would be losing her then
" Baby don't cry. I'm not going anywhere. Shh my love" she says and hugs me while rubbing my back. After a few minutes I stop crying. I can't believe she actually has the power to make me upset and the power to heal me. But that's not really the reason I'm crying. I could lose her because of something more than just my insecurities "Baby I think you should see a shrink,you aren't over your past. I'm not saying you aren't over Londi but you aren't over what she did to you. Please,do it for me. We can't be in a relationship where the one doesn't trust the other" she says while still hugging me.
"Okay baby I'll do it for you,us and our future. I love you S'bongokuhle"
"I love you too Thandolwami" we share a little laugh. She likes saying Thandolwami because she doesn't like sharing me. Thandolwethu means,our love. Thandolwami means,my love. Get it?yeah. After a few minutes I feel my t-shirt getting wet
"Siyamu" I say shaking her lightly. She lifts her head and her eyes are full of tears. "Hey baby,talk to me. What's wrong?"shes making me worried now
"I know why you were doing what you were doing but you always make me feel as if you're forced to be with me" she says in a breaking voice. No,no this is what I don't want. Her to feel like I'm pushing her away.
"Baby look at me" she looks at me "you're the only one for me. Through thick and thin,cold and hot. I love you with my whole being. I know I don't show it all the time but please give me time to fix myself. Please just give me one more chance baby" she nods and I sigh. After 5 minutes she stops crying and we order dinner.
