Hlelo
I felt my heart beat against my chest and turned to find Nyakallo as white as a sheet of paper. I turned to Lucia.
Me: I really have nothing to say to you Lucia. If i really have a child with you, you should have told me as her father irregardless of where I was but you kept quiet so this is what going to happen. I want nothing from you or to do with you. I repeat just in case you didn't hear me. I want nothing from you or to do with you. If the child is mine than( i pointed to my friend Bonga) he will be your point of contact until we verify if she is truly mine or not. Once that has been confirmed than you, myself and my wife will decide what is our way forward. If you want me in your daughter life, i call her yours because I haven't confirmed yet-if she is mine so,if you want me in her life than you will have to co parent with us.
I moved closer to my wife and I saw Lucia face sulk.
Me: I say us because am no longer single and my wife and I are a team, we are one. As much as it your baby and she was not there when we made it but she is here now so it is her business cause what involves me is her business. If you not taking what am offering than go fuck yourself!
There was silence in the room and she looked at me as if this is not how she imagined things. I held Nyakallo hand and she squeezed it a bit.
Me: i really wish to stay longer Musa but I can't
Musa: oh its cool.
I nudged Nyakallo and she followed. I really dont know what got on Lucia but she lost it grabbing Nyakallo snatching her and threw her to the wall and i felt my body boil as I was about to lunge for her I heard Nyakallp scream " Noooooooooo!!!
That stopped me as the guys grabbed her away and I moved to Nyakallo as tears were blurring her eyes.
Nyakallo
My heart was pounding so hard after I saw Hlelo nearly beating her up. Iv never seen him this angry.
Lucia
When I saw the anger in him, i nearly fainted because he has never raised his hands on me not even his voice. They walked me out and Bonga looked at me.
Bonga: I pray the child is real!!!! ... I pray that she is not hurt and lastly If you not here on bad vibes than i hope you take his offer or things will get ugly for you.
He took a card gave it to me and opened up the door for me.
Bonga: Go home Lucia, think everything through. If there is a child than call me and let find a suitable way forward for all of this not to explode on you. If there isnt one, send me an email confirming that and never show your face again. He closed the door and turned leaving into the house leaving me with my thoughts. What just happened? Is this how things are going to be like? Does he really hate me this much to almost want to kill me? I need to find dirt on that girl or call my brother to help on this.
Nyakallo
Musa was checking me over and gave me sugar water. Hlelo was pacing so I whispered to Musa.
Me: Is she gone?
Musa: Yes
Me: Okay, I can't see anymore.
He kept quiet and he started moving my head and moving a light on my eyes. I saw it cause it was dark and i could hear Hlelo pacing as if its pounding inside my head.
Musa: can you see the light?
Me: Yeah
Hlelo: Is she okay?
Musa: She has temporarily blindness. To much stress is causing it so am injecting her to release the tension that so it can stop straining her vision.
Hlelo: Thank.
I felt the needle and I had my head on the bed as suddenly colour was seeping through. When I opened my eyes Hlelo was the first person I saw.
Hlelo: You okay?
Me: am okay
Hlelo: can I take her home?
Musa: Yeah, give her these and no stressing. He gave us our things and we got in the car and drove off.
Hlelo
The whole ride home she was quiet looking outside.
Me: want anything to eat?
Nyakallo: No
I nodded drove home and was relieved when mom car was there. I parked and helped her in the house and she walked into the room that we have been using lately.
Me: You good?
She turned and looked at me tears streaming down her face and I panicked
Nyakallo: Were you going to hit her?
Me: she pushed you against the wall
Nyakallo: is that a yes?
I kept quiet.
Nyakallo: ill take that asa yes than. I was with one abuser for a full year Hlelo and you tell me that you almost beat a woman?
Me: In my defence....
Nyakallo: It doesn't matter what she did Hlelo, the fact is that you lost it and you were about to hit her!!!!
I kept quiet.
Nyakallo: I expected better from you Hlelo if you could have hurt her what would stop you from hurting me?
Those words cut deep and I moved away from her
Nyakallo
I saw him change and distance himself and fear took over me.'
Hlelo: I would never hurt you Nyakallo and Ill spend all my life showing you that. Yes I was wrong for losing my cool but she poked. She pushed you so hard that I felt a piece of me break. And I promise you one thing, i kill her if she ever lays a hand on you. Ill kill her and whoever might harm you. Iv never harmed a human before. Maybe its because iv never meet someone or hand anything that worth killing for but now that I do and now that I have more to lose than what I had before. So yes ill kill for you, ill hit her till she takes her last breath if she touches you.
Nyakallo: But she is....
Me: I really don't care what she is or who she thinks she is but no one harms my wife and get away scot free.... ncah ngiyala lapho!!!....
