It's New Years eve and we spending the day at Bandile's house just our siblings and close friends. We making a braai tonight while Jay is spending the day at Bandile's mother's house, Lara and Yonela are already here helping me prepare things for the braai. Bandile went to shop for alcohol with Troy and Biko.

"So have you started with the wedding plans?" Lara asks

"I haven't even had the time to think about it with work and all"

She says

"I thought you were off until today"

I say and she shrugs

"With the wedding coming up I thought I should work more now so that when it's close I'll be able to be off"

She says,

"So have you guys set a date?"

I ask and she shakes her head no

"no, I'm barely processing the fact that I'm getting married"

she says

"How does it feel?"

Lara asks

"Overwhelming I won't lie. Everyday I wake up and look at the rock on my finger just to remind myself this is real"

She says and I smile

"You look happy"

I say and she smiles

"I am, I love Biko and he's the best thing to happen to me after my job obviously"

"That's so cute, that's how it should be"

Lara says

"how is marriage life?"

I ask and Lara shrugs

"With Troy and I everyday is a new day to make our

lives better. I can't imagine my life without him in it.

He's not perfect obviously but to me he is, he makes his

mistakes and so do I but he makes me happy

nevertheless. Every minute I spend with him I never

want it to end"

She says with a huge smile plastered on her face

"Marriage doesn't have to ruin anything you and your partner already have"

She says

"Wait until you and him have a child" I say and she smiles

"What does that smile mean?" I ask and she blushes

"I'm pregnant"

She says and I scream

"What?"

I say pulling her to me tightly

"Don't kill me before I become a mother now"

She says and we all laugh, I let go and Yoza hugs her congratulating her

"Finally!"

I say and she blushes

"was about time hey?"

She says

"yeah, Jay needed a friend outside family" I say and they all laugh

"Yes now you and Yonela need to give my baby friends to play with"

She says and we both laugh

"Yoza Lara is talking to you"

I say and Yoza chuckles
