Lucia
I looked into the pot and there I saw Nyakallo as thin as a slice of bread... pimples all over her face and slowly losing breath and I turned looked at him.
Me: You killing her?
Guy:You want your guy right?
Me: He will hate me for this instead of loving me.
Guy: let me tell you something. Some guys are protected by they ancestors. She was chosen for him by his elders meaning that no one, i mean no one will last in a relationship with him as long as she lives. The muthi i made you drink was to help you get in his pants since you'll had sex before but instead it didn't work because she is alive and they pray strengthening they spiritual bond. When she is dead ill give you something else that will break his ties with her soul and connect him to you.
Me: I see.
He walked over dropped something in the bowl and I watched her crawl into a ball screaming in pain. As sad as this was I knew that the end results were going to be worth it. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Me: continue
Hlelo
We were at the traditional healer and my wife was slowly losing weight and now she had cramps that were killing her and she was screaming and crying and there was nothing I could do. The healer laid her hands on her and she closed her eyes than looked at me angry.
Her: Its your ex
Me: I know
Her: She wants her dead.
Me: I figured it out
Her: the only thing keeping your wife alive right now is the baby that she carrying. Its not a normal baby.
Me: What you mean she has a baby?
Her: she pregnant.
I kept quiet because I really don't remember Nyakallo telling me she pregnant. She did some weird stuff and gave her something to drink than i watched her slowly go to sleep as the pimples on her face slowly disappeared.
Her: your wife was created for you. The ancestors and God chose her for you. That means that even if you two didn't meet. You would have never lasted in a relationship.
Me: i kept quiet.
Her: She is the Original Queen and her prayers are heard.
Me: and that means what?
Her: Its means that greatness is about to come.
She was frustrating me again with her riddles.
Me: Be simple please. Just tell me if she going to be okay
Her: Yes
That helped.
Her: But you need to pray. Pray not because she asks you too but pray because you believe that prayer will help.
I nodded.
Her: Ill keep her for a few days help her heal because your ex is on a mission.
Me: Cool, ill go drop of my mom and daughter and come back. Am not leaving her here alone.
Her: I know
Me: The baby?
Her: Is keeping her alive. If you ex finds out about it, she will try to kill it and if the baby dies. Am afraid your wife will die too.
My heart was beating so fast. I cannot lose her.
Her: ill do everything that I can humanely do but your baby is not human. I cannot even see it but I can feel that its there.
Me: Is it possible that the things Lucia is doing are the results of making it hard for you to see the baby?
Her: No...when a child is a gift from God and the Ancestors. Anything is possible.
Me: I see. Ill be right back.
I left and got in the car with mom and Yamihle looking at me for answers.
Mom: Everything okay?
Me:Am going to need you to take care of Mihle for me mom.
Yamihle: Dad
I turned and looked at my scared daughter.
Me: Its okay baby. Just for a few days.
Melo: I know how to drive, i can drive us home and you stay here.
I know he could see I cant drive in this state. I nodded and got out of the car walked to Yamihle side.
Me: I want you to not think about this okay? Grandma will take good care of you and you wont even notice that am here.
Yamihle: is mom going to be okay?
Me: Yes
Yamihle: Promise?
Me: I promise.
I hugged her tight kissed her forehead and saw mom wiping a tear.
Mom:ill send Melo with some clothes and ill call the elders and let them know you here.
Me: Thank you ma.
Mom: You going to be okay.
Me: A part of me want to kill lucia for doing all this than another part of me says I can't do that. She is my daughter mother.
Mom: Just pray son. Nothing beats prayer, all will be well. I nodded and watched them drive off.
Healer: I know you weren't going to leave her, i made you some tea. Come in
I walked in the small cosy house and had the most weird tea in my life.
Lerumo
I walked to the storage room where I kept all my late wife things and stood there for some time looking at all her things. I walked in and sat on a rocking chair that she loved and closed my eyes thinking of all the good times we have had. I felt a little uncomfortable as I laid my head on the head rester and touched a hard thing. I slowly walked to the back of the chair than saw a zip and opened it putting my hand in there coming back with a huge journal and I sat there opened the first page and tears blurred my eyes as I saw her hand writing and a smaller version of the picture that Nyakallo always carried with her. I really did mess up big time with my family. I closed my eyes and remembered all the good times we have had before I found out about her affair.
