*WHERE THE IS LOVE THERE IS HOPE*

*CHAPTER 3*

*NDONIYAMANZI*

I took mom's advice and called my husband. And his response was:I'm driving. We'll talk later.
I went to take a nap after that. To be honest i was worried. He never takes this long to call. Something must be going on.
"Mommy wake up. Daddy is here."
Me:mmh
"Wake up mommy. Daddy is here. "
Me:okay I'm coming.
I went to the bathroom to wash my face then went out.
Me:hi.
Shaka:hey. I came to fetch you.
Me:i already told mom we were staying for two more weeks.
Shaka:i know. But she said it's fine. We can leave. We will always come to visit.
Me:okay. Let me take our stuff then. Where is mama?
Shaka:she went somewhere with your father.

I went to my room and packed our things and pushed the luggage out.
Shaka:let me take that.
Me:let's go guys.
Nkanyezi:we are going home? I will miss grandpa.
Me:you will come during school holidays.
Nkazimulo:but it's still school holidays.
Issy:yes. Can we stay?
Me:okay. Let me all your grandmother and tell her.
They danced and went back to the house.
Me:my kids don't want to be with me now.
Shaka:this is a blessing in disguise. We will have more time to ourselves.
Me:okay but I will miss them.
Shaka:they will be back.

When we got home i found some strange woman sitting on my sofas having my kids ice cream. What the hell is going on here?
Me:what's she doing in our house?
Shaka:um babe she came yesterday. She's here to help with something.
Woman:hi. I'm Xolelwa. You must be Ndoniyamanzi. Your husband has told me a lot about you.
Me:sisi ufunani la? I hope there's nothing illegal going on?
Xolelwa:what's that supposed to mean?
Me:I'm not stupid. You're a criminal and i want you out of here. I hope you didn't kill anyone when you were at the village. And stop invading my fridge. That's the kids favorite ice cream.
Xolelwa:oh sorry mam. Man do you have to tell your wife everything? What if she blurts out that you're the one who shot Melusi and his wife?
Shaka:just like you just did right now?Nxa!
Me:get her out of here. When i come back she nust be gone. And i mean it.
Shaka:babe she will be gone by tomorrow.
Me:no she'll be out of here today. I'm sure she has money for a hotel.
Shaka:sthandwa sami I'll see you later. I have a meeting.
Me:what about her?
Shaka:we'll talk when I come back. 

He took his keys and ran out. This woman in front of me was looking at him with eyes full of lust.

Me:hey. What are you really doing here?
Xolelwa:your husband needed my help but i had nowhere to stay. So here i am.
Me:i saw how you looked at him.
Xolelwa:so you're threatened by me being here.
Me:I'm not. My husband would never even look your way if it wasn't about whatever that you're helping him with.
Xolelwa:sisi i can take your husband just like that if i want to.
Me:and i can just kick you out of my house just like that. And now I'm saying get out.
Xolelwa:sisi if you can't take me being here deal with it.im here to stay. You're those insecure women heh? That's why your husband tells you his whereabouts and even everything he does. Oh i forgot. He didn't tell you that day he called you from the village he was with the mother of his kids? Yeah he was. So instead of feeling threatened by me you should be dealing with her not me.
Me:phuma uphele lana.
Xolelwa:as i said only your husband will tell me that. He invited me here.
I went to my room and called Shaka.
Me:why is that woman here?
Shaka:she's there to help me. She'll leave tomorrow.
Me:after everything we went through to fix our marriage you bring another woman here? She even said you were with Sihle. Is this what I'm always going to face? You said you weren't comfortable with me being friends with Johan i cut him off. Now you bring this woman here. How's that supposed to make me feel?
Shaka:I'm sorry.
Me:what is she even helping with?
Shaka:she's a pi. She'll track that sangoma.
Me:why can't she do it from her place? Now she's here disrespecting me and tell me she can take you if she wants you. Did you give her the impression that you want her?
Shaka:of course not.
Me:I'm not going to live like this. Women coming and going as they please. You should have let me stay in PMB so you could do your business without me knowing.
Shaka:babe don't talk like that. I promise I'll fix everything when I get there.
