Crystal
There was chatter around the bedroom. "Hey Crystal, your phone's ringing" Lonwabo said handing it to me. I took it and the caller was Ava. "Uh!, excuse me guys. This is important" I stood and rushed to the bathroom. Making sure I locked the door, I answered
"Hey Aves" I began
"Mmm mmm, you don't call when you arrive and you still haven't called" she said with disapproval in her voice
"I'm so sorry Ava but things just got hectic and I was shocked and so much happened and I'm married now" I rushed out
"Okay wait a sec did you just say your married?" Her British accent thickened with every word
"Yes. I'm married"
"What! Why! When! Why! Who???" She screamed
"I'll explain everything when I Gert back okay, I promise." I said trying to calm her down
"You better!" She said
"Auntyy when is mom!y coming back?" I herd that angelic little voice
"She's here baby come say hi." I heard little feet running
"Mommy?" My heart swelled and I felt tears in my eyes
"Hi baby" I answered
"Where are you mommy? I miss you" baby Belle said
"I'm at your granny and grandpa's home love" I said
"My gwanny and gwanpa?" Her adorable voice got me
"Yes baby. You know how I'm your mommy?"
"Uh huh"
"Well I have a mommy and daddy"
"Ohhhhh but mommy why don't I have a daddy?"
Shit!
"Uhm baby...i-i uh..."
"Give me the phone and go drink your juice baby" Ava said to Belle
"Okay, love you mommy"
"I love you too baby. Bye now" I heard shuffling
"Hey babe"
"Hey"
"You gonna be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll survive."
"So-"
"Mbali iza, udabawo uyakubiza (Mbali come, aunty is calling you)" Jennifer said from the otherside of the door.
"Ndiyeza(I'm coming). I'm so sorry Aves, I gotta go" I stood from the bathtub and headed to the door.
"Its okay, just promise to call me" she said
"I will. I promise" we cut the call and I opened the door.
"Hey! You scared me."
"You don't deserve him." She walked out after that
What?
Siyabonga
The silence was defending. I couldn't stop tapping my foot anxiously.
"Bro stop tuu." Sabelo said
"Angeke ngikwazi bafo (I can't brother)" I answered
"Just try-" a knock on the window cut him short.
We looked up and Siyaxola stood out by the door with a wide smile on his face. That released some of my tension. Sabelo unlocked the doors and Xola opened it.
