Siyamu's pov:
"Welcome to The Music News baby girl" Sandile shouts and everyone in the room follows. It's the sound team,camera crew,my co-host,the producer and many more. I just signed the contract and I'm about to do my first ever show here. I'm given a glass of champagne and I drink it while mastering the "thank you's" from the "congratulations"
"I guess congratulations are in order" he says making me turn around. My co-host,Sanele Mbatha. Yes,Nomzamo Mbatha's brother. I smile
"Thank you fellow colleague" I say and we laugh
"We're already there?" he asks and I nod. My stylists take me to my prep room. I get dressed up in dark blue jean shorts,black combat boots and a white off shoulder shirt. They did my make up and fixed my blonde bob weave. The photographer takes pictures of Sanele and I, together on stage before the show starts. I'm not even nervous because I'm used to people and the camera around me. We shoot with a minimum of two breaks in-between. It's just a 5 minute show. We are only needed once a week also. We're in the last week of December now so it's hella busy for me. I haven't seen Thando since my birthday and that's how busy we get. We went on the London Tour which went well,it was only a five day stay though so we came back just in time for the show. I change back into my clothes and we leave once again,to another gig. As soon as we're out of Durban,we stop at the nearest petrol station so I can change into my event clothing. I put on black leather pants,a white graphic hoodie with Biggie Smalls on it over my bra and white Louis Vuitton sneakers. We get back on the road and they fix my make up when we get to Pietermaritzburg. It's 8pm by the time we get here and it's packed. Thando calls me with his international phone number because he's out of the country,to do some 'business'
"Sthandwa sami" he says
"Hey baby,can we talk later because I'm about to go do a gig right now?" I answer. I really want to talk to him but I can't let all of those people inside there down. In already late
"Alright,call me when you're done" I hang up and go to stage. I do my thing,also getting off stage to dance a little. When we're done we drive off to Dundee. We stop at Steers to get food. I call Thando while the gents I'm riding with are inside. Sandile being part of the team
"MaMshengu" he answers while yawning
"When are you coming back baby?" I ask
"I'm on my way there right now. I'm so tired. Have you eaten?"
"We're getting food now,the gents went inside. Should I let you sleep because you sound tired?"
"No I want to talk to you" he responds and I laugh. Love will kill this one
"No hawu,go sleep. I'm not going anywhere. I love you"he sulks for a while before actually telling me he loves me too. We hang up so he can rest. After a few minutes the guys come back with our burgers,chips and milkshakes. We eat on our way to Dundee. We got there at 11pm and I perform till 2am but we leave at 5am because oh well we just had to drink. My feet are killing me. I'm happy this is the last gig for the week and the year. I spend Christmas and New Year with my families. I don't care how much money I could make,they matter the most. That's literally the one time everyone is all together. We go to the BnB we booked at and went to our separate rooms.
I don't know when I fell asleep but I'm woken up by constant knocking. Yho yho Sandile marn. Who else could it be? I wake up to open the door and I'm wearing my gown over yesterday's clothes. Yeah ne,the manager's we have. He walks in with the rest of the team. They are about to make my room theirs,watch.
"Go take a shower because we're leaving in 30 minutes" Sandile says and I drag my feet to the bathroom. When I get to the bathroom I actually feel the salty liquid running up my throat. I lean on the bathroom sink as I let it all out. Sandile rushes through the bathroom door along with Mbali,our new photographer. They both rub my back as I wash the damn thing away
"Alcohol is not for me" I say and they laugh at me
"It's not for kids" Mbali comments and I pout. They leave after making sure I'm okay and I take a bath. I call my boo to make sure he's okay but he doesn't answer my calls so I let him be. After breakfast, we're on the road again but this time I'm going home. We get to Durban a little after 3pm and I immediately rush to my appointment with Dr Myeza. I have to get my shots. I park and go inside. It doesn't look busy today so I'm in her office in no time
"Mrs Sangweni" she says. Kodwa Thandolwethu and his thing of telling people we're married
"Let my brother hear you say that while he received nothing" I joke and she laughs. I sit down
"So you're here for the shots right?" she asks and I nod
"But the bloating hasn't gone down and it's been weeks" I tell her
"Mmh,okay let's just do the normal procedure for the shots and then we'll get to the bloating" I nod again and take the container I have to urinate in. I take the container back to her and she dissapears off somewhere with it. I try calling this man again but still nothing. Dr Myeza comes back with pieces of paper and sits down
"You'll make a great mom,you know that?I'm so glad Thando chose you" she says confusing the hell out of me. What is she talking about? Why is she even talking about me becoming a mom?
