*WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS HOPE*
*CHAPTER 2*
*NARRATED*
Nandi:Makhosi i traveled all these km's here for you to tell me this nonsense.
Sangoma:Nandi never in your life tell me that I'm talking nonsense. I've always helped you and now I'm talking nonsense?
Nandi:I'm sorry. It's just that...how did she fall pregnant? I thought you fixed this.
Sangoma:you do know how dangerous what you asked me to is? Be careful. One day it will come back to bite you.
Nandi:i do not care about that. Those people must suffer. Make it happen!
Sangoma:youcan't control your younger son. That's the problem. You left him go and expose the secret. I told you that the secret must not come out. Now look we cannot make him do what we want.
Nandi:there must be another way. But don't forget that Zimele has that traditional healer friend who helps him.
Sangoma:Dlomo is nothing. He cannot stop me from doing what i want. You must take her picture and poke it on the tummy. Do that and wait. The day will not end without hearing your good news.
Nandi:thank you. If this curse is not working then I might as well get to him by using that little devil who ruined my plans.
Sangoma:the curse is working. It might not happen fast but it is working. I know my work.
Nandi:makhosi.
Sangoma:you may leave now.
She put the money on the floor and exited the hut.
NDONI
Doing something that you love is easy. It doesn't have to be forced. That's why i enjoy working here. But I don't think that will be for long because of Johan. I've never seen someone so persistent like him. I need help with something work related and he's the one who's supposed to help me. I don't think we'll ever get along like we used to in varsity. He's ruined our friendship by constantly telling me about his feelings for me.
"Hey i came as soon as I was done with what i was doing. "
Me:thank you. Here's what i need help with.
Johan:okay.
Me:ah
Johan:are you fine?
Me:yeah. I just have pain on my stomach.
Johan:is it something you ate?
Me:i don't know. It comes and goes. Maybe it's nothing. Just pregnancy things.
Johan:huh!? And you're taking it lightly? This is a serious matter. I'm taking you to the hospital.
Me:but we have work t...
Johan:is this job going to be worth it if something happens to your baby? Let's go.
He helps me get up...
Voice:what's going on here?
Me:hey babe i didn't know you'd come today.
Shaka:oh so uzoyenza kahle lamanyala akho nale bhari yakho?
Me:babe it's not what you think.
Shaka:look at how he's holding you! You're a married woman. You should know better!
Johan:your wife made it clear that she's not interested. Im just helping her here!
Me:the pain is back...
Johan:i was helping her get up so i can take her to the hospital. Good luck!
Shaka:what's wrong?
Me:take me to the hospital!
He picked me up
Johan:I'll do that work you needed help with. Keep me posted.
As we drive to the hospital i feel the pain increasing. I hold onto my stomach and cry.
Me:please God. Let my baby live...please.
I closed my eyes as ny cheeks felt hot.
Shaka:we are here. Don't worry baby. Our boy will be fine.
He runs inside the hospital with me.
....
I wake up and look around me me and i see the room is now full.
Mpe:how are you feeling?
Me:i don't know. My baby...how is he?
Shaka:it's all my fault. If i didn't argue with Johan when he was trying to help you we wouldn't have arrived late. I'm sorry. I killed our boy.
Me:no. It's not your fault
Shaka:ngyaxolisa
Seeing him cry made me cry too. I couldn't stop my tears. This hurt.
Dr:we have to clean you now. I'm sorry for your loss.
Shaka:I'll be here when you come back.
.......
Just when I was starting to bond with my babythis happens. I wish my parentswere here with me. I know they say time heals but even after three months I'm still going througha lot of pain. My husband is also going through a lot. He blames himself for the loss we suffered. We were so happy for this baby. And just like that it's gone.
