I went in and carried her to her bedroom, brought her cosmetics and clean clothes to change.
Me :" Call me when you finished so I can help you to the kitchen."
Then I walked out wondering what would've happened if I didn't think of saying goodbye to her,if I
didn't check for my phone. It's clear that this person haven't been eating. I wonder if the baby is still
okay there,I then saw her coming from upstairs, balancing with the wall,I quickly went and carried her
back to the couch and went to dish some porridge for her,came back and gave it to her. She tried
eating,I sat there watching her eating and we haven't said anything to each other.

It hurts me seeing my wife like this, she had a stroke 18 years ago when we lost our daughter. It was
when she went to study at Durban after she passed her matric well. We looked for her everywhere and
found nothing. It's like she just vanished no one saw her. My wife's been in and out of a hospital with no
help, they're now transfering her to the other one at Pietermaritzburg, apparently it's one of the best.
I am Mbongeni Ndaba married to Sibongile Ndaba,we had two children Siyabonga and
Nombulelo. I was running family businesses but I gave them to our son so that I can fully take care of
my wife because I know for sure that she would do the same for me if tables were turned. Though I can
say that since Nombulelo left home it's been from bad to worse.
Siyabonga : "Dad, since mom is being transferred to Pietermaritzburg I think it best we buy a house there."
Me :"I can't even think of anything son, just do what you think is best"
NOMBULELO.
I thank God for bringing Mduh to my life,I thank Zulu for employing him to guard me.And I thank Mduduzi for being here for me,to think that I pushed him away makes me want to slap myself very hard.
Now I gained energy,I can even speak and laugh.We stayed and talked,him laughing at the situation I
was in when he arrived.
Me :"Thank you somuch Mduduzi, you know I nearly died."
Him :"But why would you starve yourself to death like that? And never shut me out of your life like
that ever again,you hear me?"
Me :"I won't, that I promise"
Him :"I'm glad."
Me :"I was thinking..."
He turned his heard and looked,I mean shifted all his concentration to me.
Me :"This house brings nothing but bad memories,so I was thinking it would be better if I sold it and
bought maybe a two-bedroom apartment."
Him :"So? Are you asking for my permission or what?"
Me :" Hau kahle, since when do I need your permission when I want to do something?"
Him : (Laughing) "Vele phela wena awulaleli,ngabe ngyazihlupha nje ngokuvuma nokungavumi kwami."

It's about to be a cleansing ceremony,the one that's done after someone at the house passed away.
Women are all gathered at the rondavel including Bheki's mom,MaMgenge.Men are outside getting
ready to slaughter the goat then they suddenly saw blood coming out from it's mouth and died before
they even touch it.Luckily they picked it here at home,so they went to their kraal and picked another
one,when they reached the cow's kraal where they were going to slaughter it,it just fell and died right
there.The cow that was tied outside the house and was going to be slaughtered the next morning for
the ceremony,teared the rope and ran away.
