Life Is Just Not Kind - Final Book

Chapter 55

-YONELA NGESI MTWA

Growing up a mama's girl, everytime something happens the first person you want to tell is your mother but when you get married I guess that changes and you are forced to turn to you husband for these news.

"You are pregnant"

The words echo as I try so very hard to contrate on work. I can't say I'm excited I won't lie but I'm also not bummed out about it. I wonder how my husband is going to feel about this. First time breaking my virginity and I fall pregnant right away... Wow! I guess that's what happens when you don't use a condom and your husband purposely cums inside of you.

"Doc are you ok?"

I'm startled by Dr Matu, she's the head doctor and I report to her. I don't even know when she came into my office

"I knocked but you didn't answer"

She says, it's too late to even hide the sonogram in my hand

"I... wow, congratulations"

She says and I fake a smile with a heavy sigh

"What's wrong?"

She asks

"I don't know how I feel about being pregnant. I mean I haven't even been here for long, it's only been a year and already I am pregnant"

I say and she places her hand over mine. The way I'm so distracted I didn't even notice her take a seat

"Children are a blessing no matter the time they come at. You're an amazing doctor Yonela and those kids love you and I know for a fact that you are going to make an amazing mother. Talk to your husband and find a way forward, in fact take a day off"

She says

"Doc i..."

she shakes her head no

"We will manage without you, take a day off and come back tomorrow with a clear headspace"

She says and I smile

"Thank you doc"

I say and she gets up

"See you tomorrow morning kid"

She says and walks out leaving me packing my things. I call my husband

"Lerato Laka"

I say

"Hey Sthandwa sam, how are you?"

He says

"I'm good, are you home?"

I ask

"No, I went to get a couple of things in the office. What's up?"

He asks

"Can you pass by and fetch me on your way home?"

I say, yes I still don't have a car and my husband offered to get me one but I flatly rejected it. I know it seems stupid but it's so nice to interact with people in the morning or in the afternoon rather than being all by yourself in the car or with your husband only catching up. I mean I enjoy every minute I spend with Biko but sometimes it's nice to sit and interact with strangers and taxi gossip is funny if you ask me and the noise and the drama that comes with riding a taxi. My husband doesn't understand it, he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had a driver to take him to and from school, he's never been on a taxi before and the one time he could actually experience the life of a taxi which would have been in varsity he got a car so nope, never in his life has he been on a taxi or ever had that experience. Today is one of those days I wish I could sit in a taxi surrounded by strangers and just forget my life for a few minutes
