Tshiamo woke up the next morning as early as she could and went to the gym. She did not want to see Motheo at all. By the time she left he was still asleep.
He woke up to an empty house and the worst hangover ever. He took his phone and tried to call her and she didn't answer. He tried a few more times but she still did not answer.
Whit not being able to get ahold of his wife, he thought of Tiego. He dialed his number. "Why are you calling me?" Tiego answered the phone saying that.
"Come on man, I just want to talk" He said. Please hear me out, I know I fucked up OK?. He was somewhat remorseful and quite embarrassed.
Not so much the cocky idiot he was. "Like I said Man, stay the fuck away from me!" Tiego hung up.
Motheo felt like shit. He just realized that all that he did to hurt Tiego and his family was just turning on him instead. He was a real tool.
He called Tshidi. "Motheo" none of them cared about him at this point. "What do you want?" she asked him.
"Baby, is that how you greet the man you love?... I miss you. He said. He wanted someone to show him atleast a little affection.
"You know what, I'm busy. Just tell me what you want and be done with it."she finished.
Ouch! "never mind, I was just checking on you. Well talk" He hung up.
He decided to go and take a shower and went back to bed.
*****
Tiego said goodbye to his parents as he had to go back to the western Cape. He drive to the airport, got into the plane and finally made it home.
When he got there, Tshidi and Tshego were home. Baby girl was busy with some coloring and the mother was making dinner. "Hello" he said as he walked in.
"Hey" her heart started racing. She missed him and was happy to see him.
"How are you?...how was your trip and the anniversary celebration? She asked him. He thought it to be abit weird but ignored it."I had a good trip and the celebration was pretty good, thank you for asking". He looked at her. She smiled. "Okay, Tshego is in the lounge" she said to him. And with that he went to go see her.
"Hey baby girl" He said excitedly. "Daddy!" she jumped up and game him a big hug. He loved her alot. "I missed you so much sweetheart" He said to her. He did miss her. "I missed you too daddy" Tshego answered.
They played a little, had some dinner and then went to bed.
This time they all ate together and for a moment there, it felt like the old days. But after all they've been through, Tiego didn't even want to visit those memories.
*****
Tshiamo made sure that she finalises all the details of her upcoming trip as she was due to leave in the coming weekend. She didn't feel like being around Motheo but she had to go home.
She tried her best to leave abit late, got some take outs and headed home. When she got there, a motheo was sitting g on the couch watching a football match as though nothing happened. You could have sworn that this guy was insane. Tshiamo was too drained to even call him out for his behavior.
She went in their bedroom, took a bug traveling bag and started packing her clothes. She packed more than enough things as she was intending on staying at her parents house in the mean time.
She had spoke to her mother about it and they did not mind at all. Tshiamo's mom believed thag when a person feels that they needs some air, it's best that they get some before they act out.
When she was done packing all the things she felt that she will need, she made her way downstairs. Motheo saw her and got up. "where do you thinj you're going?". She looked at him, no strength and Just walked away.
Motheo knew not to even start with her as he saw how angry she got the other day. He did not like her being angry with him.
With that she put the big bag in her car and left.
*****
Tiego was sitting in his office and thought of all the events of the past weekend. He thought of all the things he went through with Tshidi. A part of him wanted to know the truth and he was sure that he wouldn't get it from Tshidi, but someone must know how to connect all these dots as nothing made sense in this web.
He thought back to the facebook post he saw and decided to try his luck. He knew where Tshidi's best friend lived so without giving it another thought. He headed straight there.
When he got to her gate, he saw that her car was not there. He waited a while and decided to leave. Just then, he saw her car approach and he turned his car off right away.
"Hello" she had a confused look getting put of the car as she greeted Tiego. He's the last person that she expected would pay her a visit.
"To what do I owe the pleasure?" she asked him. "well, I just want to talk....I hope that's OK" he said. She had an idea what he wanted to talk about. "Sure, come in". She opened her gate and the two cars parked inside her yard and they both made their way inside the house.
"I know you might not want to disclose the truth to me because you want to be loyal to your friend but I'm ask you to please... Just... Try to be honest in answering my questions. He said, looking at her.
" I have loved that woman throughout all the shit she put me through and at this point I feel like I don't even know her. Even if she tries to tell me something I won't be able to believe it because of how much she has just betrayed my trust. With my best friend no less. So you honestly think I don't deserve to know what the fuck is going on here? " He spoke looking straight at her.
She felt really bad for him and because she knew the kind of person he is, she knew that telling him the truth she knows would atleast serve some justice or help him find a way forward.
"Alright, I'll tell you what I know and the rest you will get from her because even though she might trust me I don't believe that she would tell me 100% of everything" She said.
"I'm all ears"

When it all comes together, the pain becomes somewhat bearable until you heal.
