Siyamu's pov:
"Unfortunately you lost both your twins in the accident" is the only thing I heard the doctor say. I understand that Max is no more,I understand that we got into a car accident but I don't understand this.
"I was pregnant?" I ask for the second time and I know I'm probably annoying the poor doctor but he has to understand I'm in shock
"Yes ma'am and if you need any counselling,we can provide a psychologist if you may need one. I am really sorry for your loss but you are one strong woman,you can do this" he says and from his face,he probably thinks he motivated me. No he did not! I didn't even know I was pregnant. I hope I don't slip into depression again "oh I almost forgot,you have a visitor waiting outside" he says and walks out. I look at the door waiting for the person to come in. Thandolwethu walks in looking horrible,was he that miserable without me?I try to fake a smile,there's something different about him,his aura is dark and heavy on me. He makes space for himself on the bed and sits next to me without saying a word. He looks frustrated. He looks at me
"Were you planning on leaving me?"he asks and I can't find the amusement in his voice
"I missed you" I say softly looking at my hands because his stare is intense
"I missed you more,do you know how much I suffered seeing you on this bed everyday. Are you okay?" I just nod,I'm out of words. "How are you feeling about everything?"
"You mean about the babies?" I ask acting unbothered. I don't want to cry now
"Uhm" he clears his throat "yes,about the babies" I sigh
"I'm really hurt I never got to even acknowledge them when they were still alive but I'll have to accept it as time goes by"
"And as soon as you get out of hospital,you'll have to get cleansed" he says and I understand. It's only understandable that I agree,I don't want this haunting me later in life. I'll have to tell my mom then,soon. While in my thoughts,I'm disturbed by intense silence. I look over at Thando and he's looking at something on the other side of the room, furious as hell. I take a glance and it's none other than Snothando. Why does this guy have to show up at the worst time? He looks at me and comes by my side, ignoring the death stare he's getting from Ndo.
"You scared me,I thought I was going to lose you" he says and I try to say something back but I choke on my spit. I start coughing,they both run over to the jug of water at the same time,they stare at each other while Ndo has the jug in his hands but Snothando has the glass. Oh no,this is not happening while I'm at hospital. I finally stop coughing
"Water please" I say trying to ease the tension. They both walk over to me. Ndo pours the water in the jug while Snothando is carrying it. Snothando helps me drink the water and when I'm done,Ndo says
"Ufunani lana mjitha?" (Why are you here dude?)
"Ngizele into oyizele nawe la!"(I came for what you're also here for!) Snothando replies. One thing about these Zulu men? English doesn't apply when they're fighting
"Intombi yami?" (My girlfriend?) Ndo asks
"Musa ukwenza ngathi uyamthanda (stop acting like you love her)"-Snothando. I wonder what he means by that
"Ukhuluma ngani Snothando?"(what are you talking about Snothando?) He looks at me,sort of like feeling sorry for me
"Lutho,wena woza la(nothing,you come here)" Ndo replies pointing a finger at Snothando
"Angikusabi phela ndoda(I'm not scared of you man)" Snothando says and a punch lands on Thando's face. When did he get there?Snothando receives a punch on the stomach "you really are gay,I can see from the way you hit"
"Nxx ugay unyoko!" Ndo says and that seems to anger Snothando even more. Why?what happened to his mother?it's only been 7 or 8 years since we've lost contact of each other. Snothando is on top of Ndo punching him anywhere visible,then Thando is on top of Snothando punching his face. A security gets in and nurses are crowded at the door. The security holds Thando off and both of their faces are swollen. Thando is bleeding from the nose and and Snothando's lip is busted. I cover my mouth in shock,part of me wants to laugh though. I'm really stupid,it's just that I've never had males fight over me?wow,this is a first.
"Don't touch me" Snothando says to the security as he dusts himself off looking angry as fuck. I've never seen him like this. Thando gets up
"So you're cheating on me with this fucker" Thando says and I really cannot believe this
"Thandolwethu Sangweni. I have been on this hospital bed for a whole two months unconscious. I woke up today and I'm told I lost my babies and you have the audacity to come here telling me I'm cheating on you?what the fuck are you thinking?that we were fucking while I was in a coma?are you dumb?" I ask my anger vivid in my voice
"You were pregnant?" Snothando asks in shock while rubbing his head roughly
"I didn't know I was pregnant" I defend myself. I don't know why I want him to believe me,I don't even know why I'm explaining myself to him. He walks out really awkwardly because of the tension in the room. The nurses have disappeared off to somewhere,didn't even see them leave
"Baby I'm sorry,I love you,I'm so sorry" Thando says. I look at him,he disgusts me
"Get the fuck out of this room otherwise I'll get off this bed and take you out myself!" I say and he comes closer,still begging "what are you waiting for,take him out" I say to the security and he does exactly that but it's easy because Thando isn't fighting him. I stare at the ceiling,what's going on with my life? How did things get this intense in just a day? Snothando's presence affects me so much,maybe it's because I loved him for a long time and I had a lot of memories with him but that was 9 or 10 years ago. Could I have never gotten over him?
