#Continuation of Chapter 50

***Landokuhle's POV

They keep on staring at each other with MaMolefe sobbing hard and Kabelo also has tears brimming in his eyes. I try moving towards MaMolefe so I can comfort her but Kabelo holds me back.

Kabelo : "I want her out of my house!" He says sternly but his voice breaks a bit.

Me : "Kabelo.."

MaMolefe : "Son , please hear me out." She sobs.

Kabelo : "You...Y..ou-You left me!" He shouts with his breaking voice.

MaMolefe : "That's n...not...t.rue." She wails.

Kabelo : "Leave my house! Leave like how you left me before! LEAVE!!"

Me : "Baby , come on." He glances at me and walks out after grabbing his car keys , banging the door. I sigh and just hug MaMolefe , she hugs me back tightly.

MaMolefe : "I never left him , Bongani..."  She cries.

Me : "Shhh , I know mah." She eventually calms down but she has hiccups. I give her a glass of water that she gulps in one-go.

Me : "I'm not letting you drive like this so I'll prepare the guestroom for you fast." She nods. I leave her seated at the table and go prepare her room. Once I'm done , I go check on the kids and they still asleep except Meli who was quietly gazing around their room , seated in her bed. We recently added another bed in their nursery and made them sleep separately since Suko sleeps anyhow ; sometimes you find her sleeping with her limps on her twin so ay. I take Meli and go to the dining room with her.

Me : "Your room is ready mah."

MaMolefe : "Thank you baby. We can't let your efforts and food go to waste now right?" I smile.

Me : "Yeah."

MaMolefe : "Let's eat then. Can I hold her?" She says taking Meli who was already stretching her arms to her.

Kabelo walks through the door and I switch off my side-lamp and sleep. The time was around 02:30 and I had been waiting for him ; MaMolefe went to sleep right after our dinner together with Meli. Meli ended up sleeping with her because she didn't wanna leave her side.

Kabelo : "Baby?" He whispers in my ear after getting in bed. He pulls me to him and holds me tight against his body.

Me : "mmh?"

Kabelo : "I'm sorry baby."

Me : "Musawenkosi just sleep , you drunk!" He kisses my neck and sighs.

Kabelo : "I don't want to sleep nje baby."

Me : "Okay let's talk about your mother."

Kabelo : "I wanna check on my kids." He gets out of bed and walks out. He comes back rushing after sometime.

Me : "Yini?"

Kabelo : "there's...one of the twin isn't in their bed."

Me : "Oh uMeli , she's sleeping with your mother. She didn't wanna leave her side."

Kabelo : "So you bring that woman here then let her hold my kids anyhow?"

Me : "So what was I supposed to do Kabelo when your daughter was crying for her?" He rolls his eyes.

Kabelo : "If she thinks she'll use my kids to try and get me to come with her , she must forget it!"

Me : "KABELO! She also wasn't expecting to meet her supposed dead son in my house , she surely didn't know that she is my 'mother-in-law' so please give the woman a break!" His eyes soften and show sadness.

Kabelo : "What do you mean her supposed dead son?"

Me : "Talk to her and she'll tell you , it's not my place to tell."

Kabelo : "So she already got to you? You believe her lies?".

Me : "Gotten to me where Kabelo? Huh!?! Cause she's the woman I told about ; I met her at the resort when I was discharged." He just walks to the bathroom.
