Siyamu's pov:
He looks at me,my stomach touching his abdomen,I can see he's about to break but he's keeping it all in.
"I'm here for you all the way" I say pulling him in for a hug. We're next to Thapelo's car since they are about to go to the graveyard. Apparently pregnant women aren't supposed to go there so I have to stay behind,the kids also can't go so we're going to stay with them and the rest of the ladies that are preparing the food. Buhle decided to stay with me while the others go support Thando. I saw Ntokozo but I saw him from a distance,with his wife and she looked pregnant?did she not say that her figure is going to get ruined?Lwandile decided to stay in Cape Town because she's feeling a little under the weather but Bayanda made it,with a lot of convincing it finally happened. He mouths 'i love you' and I smile,letting his hand go. On a normal day Thapelo would be complaining about how long we're taking but today,today is just different.
So a week ago this man posted the picture I took of him sleeping on his IG story. He was feeling for kicks and his head was laying on my stomach but he fell asleep while at it. Take note that I was half naked,I didn't have my top on but only my stomach was showing. His caption was 'my new favourite place'. Now he made a video compiling pictures of him and his gran, videos of her and then in that video was a picture of me hugging his grandmother. Now people are screenshoting and they're wondering if we're back together. So nje it's drama. I wanted my pregnancy reveal to shock everyone but ke ukuba nendoda ephaphayo
We sit in Thando's room since the sitting area is full old people. Princess is now sleeping on the bed. I tuck her in bed because it's hella cold. We get a fleece blanket and chill on the sofa. Ma walks in with two dishes of food,one is for me and the other one is for Buhle
"Haa ma the others aren't back" I say
"This is the rural areas, there won't be any left overs and you'll see the line" she says and I laugh making sure I'm not loud
"When are you eating?" I ask
"Ngempela ma,ever since we've arrived you've been up and down, please sit" she nods and out the door she is. She comes back with another plate and a bowl,for Princess I think. She goes out again and comes back with juice and scones. We say grace and dig in
"Manje ma ukahle?" I ask and she sighs
"Your father in law has become one crazy son of a bitch,oh lord forgive me for my language but he's changed in so many ways possible" she says. I've gotten used to her since she literally lives with Thando so everytime I'm there I see her
"I'm so sorry ma. But he must get his act right before I teach him a lesson" I say and they laugh at me
"What lesson are you going to teach him?" Buhle asks laughing,about to cry
"I'm going to hit him,ngeke akholwe (he won't believe it). He's not only messing up his family but also their lives. This is putting a strain to my relationship with Thando because of him. You know sometimes I'd find him crying and then he wouldn't tell me what's going on because his father told him only pussies cry" I sniff,Buhle rubs my back
"Fucken hormones" Buhle and I say at the same time and everyone laughs
"Chocolate chip cookies" I randomly blurt out.
"What?" Buhle questions and the river works start. Ma comes by my side and hushes me.
"Don't cry, please tell me what's wrong?" I take out my phone from my pocket and give it to Buhle
"Call Thando please and tell him I want chocolate chip cookies and doughnuts" I sniff. Buhle gives me a bored expression while searching for his number "it's on speed dial you dummy"
