Life Is Just Not Kind - Final Book

Chapter 28

-BANDILE TSHAWE

As we sit eating and chatting Qhawe gets up and rushes out to the nearest bathroom, I won't lie I am worried and her being pregnant might change everything. I missed out on everything with Mihlali and I wouldn't want to miss out on anything with Qhawe if she really is pregnant

"When did that start?"

Lara starts and I shrug

"I don't know, I saw her this morning when I was preparing breakfast. You should take her to the doctor" Mihlali says and I nod

"I was planning on taking her when she's done showering"

I say and she nods. Qhawe comes back and sits down

"You ok?"

I ask her and she shakes her head

"I can't seem to keep anything down"

She says

"I'll make you ginger tea, it helped me with my morning sicknesses"

Mihlali says pushing her chair back

"We don't know whether it's pregnancy or a stomach bug"

Qhawe spits out

"Either way it helps with the nausea"

She says and walks out to the kitchen

"She's really trying, the least you could do is meet her halfway"

Lara says to Qhawe

"Mihlali is my bestfriend and you are my husband's friend. She doesn't have to do anything but Mihlali is a peaceful person by nature"

She says defensively and Qhawe looks down

"I hear you"

She says

"I'm not saying be friends but you could at least try as much as she is. She has no beef with you"

Lara adds and Qhawe nods. After a while of uncomfortable silence Mihlali walks back in with a cup of tea

"Here you go, it's hot so be careful"

She says placing the tea in front of Qhawe

"Thank you"

Qhawe says and blows the tea before taking a sip "It will help you trust me"

She says and Qhawe nods drinking the tea slowly and seemingly enjoying it

"Arent you going to be late for work?" Lara asks me and I chuckle "I'm going in after lunch"

I say and she nods. After breakfast I wait on Qhawe to shower and finish while I talk to my P.A over the phone discussing business and everything else. I check in on my managers around the restaurants, we've been discussing creating an app for the restaurants. We are available on Mr D but we want our customers to be able to make reservations without having to call us and book and to also be able to place orders before actually coming to our restaurants and what not. Basically we trying to make life easier for our clients, I have a meeting with the new CEO of Mbana Tech since Mrs Mtwa stepped down.

"You busy?"

Mihlali asks walking into the lounge, she's wearing what I am assuming she wore last night

"Not really, what's up?"

I ask

"My shares, I want to transfer them into Jay's name" she says sitting down and I raise an eyebrow

"I thought I should talk to you about it since I'll need your signature and all"

She says and I nod

"That's a great idea but are you sure? I mean what about you? What would happen if you lost your job or something?"
