With Pain Come Love 2

Melo 2

I've seen mom mad but this was nothing like the other times. This time around she was probably going to kill me and get rid of my body, with the kind of money she has... I'm pretty sure she wouldn't struggle ey. one thing I'm sure of was that she didn't hate me, I think she was disappointed in me and for taking matters into my own hands when I could have come to her. That's how she raised us anyway. If you have a problem that you can't deal with your own, then you come to her or dad. I tried to explain to her but mom wouldn't listen, she didn't want to hear anything because according to her I'm always sticking up for my twin. Mom is stubborn and when she gets like this you sit and listen. When I asked what was up she threw me her phone which was on messages with a text reporting that a certain amount was used at Marie Stopes. Asemahle has really fucked me up this time around! How could she give Kate the wrong card? I followed mom to the guest room here downstairs limping. The minute I walked in she slapped me and I held my cheek, it was evident that she was hurt and mad.
Her: Abortion Melokuhle?
Me: mom I can explain
She slapped me again.
Her: what is it that your father and I don't do for you huh?
I kept quiet. I wanted to respond but then how certain was I that I wasn't going to get another slap? She sat down and looked up at me standing by the door. She patted the bed next to her. I limped to sit next to her.
Her: I would have preferred hearing you tell me that the money went to alcohol or drugs or something. but this Melokuhle? This is too much even for you.
Me: mom I'm sorry
Her: why Melokuhle?
I shrugged her.
Her: don't give me that! You know very well that we could have supported you and Kate here. We could have provided that baby with everything it was going to need. I would have taken care of it for you until you can do it yourself. Why didn't you come to me huh?
Maybe because I was scared to see the disappointment on your face maybe.
Her: ANSWER ME DAMMIT!
Me: Mom I asked Kate not to go through with it, I begged her not to do it but she wanted to. Kate said she couldn't afford bringing an unwanted child into this world especially with the situation she is from. She wouldn't be able to stand the disappointment on her mother and grandmother's face
Her: she couldn't afford a child? Melokuhle you are the son of the country's richest man. What do you mean she couldn't afford the child? You know what I'm hearing right now, excuses and nothing more! You gave her your card well my card in this case to go through with it. for someone who begged her you sure encouraged her to go through with it that's for sure
Me: I didn't know what to do mom
Her: I'm your mother. You were supposed to talk to me, you always used to be able to talk to me when something was troubling you. What happened? What was different this time around? And don't tell me about disappointment! This is worse than disappointment Melokuhle.
She was crying which made me tear up to. I hated disappointing the one person who's had my back since day one and will have it till my last breath. I've really done it this time.
Her: if you weren't injured already I'd probably would have hit you with a broom right now and knock some sense into you but I'm not that kind of person. I wash my hands off you!
With that she got up and walked out. You know you've really screwed up when your parent says that. I sat there not knowing what to do with myself. I hated me right now. I'll never forget mom's look. The anger and disappointment is none like I've seen before. I sat there with my face buried in my hands. I heard the door open.
"hey you ok?"
I looked up and it was big sister. She kneeled in front of me and she wiped my tears that were running down my cheeks.
Me: she hates me
Her: she doesn't hate you. She just didn't expect this from you. I also didn't expect it but we all make mistakes
Me: I know I've disappointed you guys. All of you
Her: at the end of the day it was not your final decision to make, it was hers. Mom will come around
I gave a faint chuckle. I know my mother; this she will never forgive me for.
Her: I can always call Yaya for you, she's in Asemahle's room
I looked at her and nodded. I needed her. She hugged me and then got up and walked out of the room. A while later Yaya's perfume filled my room, she smelled so good. So sweet. She got on top of me as I sat on the edge of the bed. I wrapped my hands around her ass as she wrapped hers around my neck. She didn't say anything and neither did I for what seemed like 30 minutes.

I was hurt, crushed really. This was the last thing I would expect from Melo. On my way upstairs I bumped into Yana going down, she didn't say anything and neither did I. I got to my room and just sat down by the door. How could Melo do something like this? how could he support this? Melo is turning 21 this year, he is old enough. he is graduating and he has a job at his father's company. I don't understand how he could allow something like this to happen. This boy is financially stable more than I was when I was his age, by this I mean my parents left money for them and so did Damon's parents so basically he did not need a job for the next three to five years really. I don't get why he would allow Kate to go through with this and I am pretty sure that this pregnancy wouldn't have come between him and Yandiswa. That girl was smart, she was a real woman and I know that she could have handled this properly because she loves my son. I don't get Kate's excuses really; I mean if Aya's parents could forgive her then surely her parents would too. yes, people are different but a mother's love for their child is like that of God. Kids will always be kids, they will make mistakes along the way but at the end of the day they will always need their parents and as a parent your duty is to understand that and welcome them home with open arms because they are yours to take care of and to teach about life. Kind of like the prodigal son in the bible. We all go astray at some point but we know that there's no place better than home. As I was sitting there by the door the tab rang, well my calls from my phone are diverted to the tab and seeing that my phone was probably downstairs in the lounge, the call was diverted. I gathered all the little strength I had in me to go and answer it. it was my husband. I swear that this guy knows when I'm not ok, his timing is always impeccable. I answered it.
//Him: hey honey
Me: uhhm hey babe
Him: is everything ok?
I nodded as though he could see me. stupid right? I know but I didn't want to give it away by talking now.
Him: don't tell me you just nodded. Amahle what's going on?
See what I mean? He knows me like the back of his hand.
Me: nothing babe.
I want to tell Damon about this but it's not my news to tell and I'm worried that he might cripple Melo. Damon is nothing like me, he saw what the miscarriage Iyana went through did to her so for Derrick to give this girl money for abortion... to him that's just as bad.
Him: seeing that you don't want to tell me this over the phone, I'm on my way then
Me: you don't have to come back babe. Everything is fine
Him: I know you Amahle. Something is wrong and you don't want to tell me. is it one of the kids?
I kept quiet.
Him: see you in 30 minutes//
He didn't even wait for my response before cutting the call on me. I threw the tab on the bed. This was the last thing I needed right now. Iyana walked in with a glass of water.
Her: here you going.
I took the glass
Me: thanks.
I gulped it at one go and sat down, she joined me on the bed and sat next me.
Her: there was nothing he could have done mom
I looked at her about to respond before she cut me off
Her: please let me finish. At the end of the day it was Kate's final decision and nothing he says or do could have stopped her from this. we don't know the whole story for us to judge him mom. he is hurting here, he lost his first born the last thing we should be doing is turning our backs against him here. Yes, he gave her money to go through with it but he didn't have a choice here, what if Kate threatened him or something?
Ok maybe Iyana had a point but what could Kate possibly threaten Derrick with? he was never supposed to pregnant her in the first place. I don't care how excited they were but the pregnancy was not supposed to happen. Melo is not ready for a baby, especially with the life he leads.
Me: your father is on his way
Her: you told him?
Me: of cause not but you know your father, I can't even pretend with him
Her: dad won't understand mom. Dad is going to murder Melo
"why would I murder Melo?"
We both turned around and looked at Damon walking in taking his tie off and putting his bag on the floor by the door. Iya and I looked at each other.
Me: it's nothing babe.
I said getting up to hug him but I wasn't convincing. He broke the hug.
Him: so is anyone going to tell me what's going on?
Her: Kate miscarried Derrick's child
She blurted it out. It was either that or the truth and the truth is the last thing my husband needs to hear right now. Yana and her siblings have always been good at lying to Dae, I was never really easy to trick or lie to... maybe it's because some of their lies were planned with me but as for me, couldn't lie to my husband like the kids could. They were convincing.
Him: is she ok?
Her: she's at her home at the moment so we don't know really
I looked at Yana. Trust my kids to stand up for one another.
Him: you should probably send her flowers or something. how's Melo taking it?
Me: he's with Yandiswa at the moment
Him: he needs her. I'll go check on him later on
He walked out to the bathroom. Thank God for Iyana or else I was not going to be able to do this with Damon. I sighed in relief
Her: don't tell him mom... please!
I nodded
Her: I'll talk to Melo. Dad can't know this, as for the message on your phone you'll say she went to get her womb cleaned
Me: I swear to God you guys went to school for lying
She laughed at me and walked out probably to fill Melo in on this lie of ours, it was ours now. I got into the bathroom and my husband was in the shower. I took of my clothes and joined him. he turned around to kiss me.
Him: you ok?
Me: I am now
Even after 20 years, looking at my husband's naked body still sent chills down my spine. Damon Bess matured like fine wine. He kept in shape, probably the most sexiest 40-something year old I have ever met. He was in good shape for someone his age. I was looking as his D drooling.
Him: eyes up here
I giggled and he laughed at me
Him: you such a pervert!
He said grabbing my ass making me wet same time. He picked he up and pinned me to the wall and then started kissing me slowly and passionately. This was just what I needed right now. My husband and I have always been sexually active, age didn't change anything and neither did having children. I don't understand why people blame the kids for their lack of intimacy really. We had mind blowing shower sex and from there we took it to the bedroom and you can imagine what happened from there on.

-Melo
Yaya and I broke the moment and got in Bed and cuddled. None of us had said anything to each other from the minute she walked in to now. if I didn't know better I would say she had something on her mind either than this but Yaya will talk when she is ready to.
Me: you ok?
Her: yeah I'm fine
Me: you sure?
She was about to respond when we were disturbed by a knock
Me: come in
Iyana walked in and sat at the edge of the bed.
Her: you two are cosy and cute
Yaya giggled.
Her: well dad just got home... mom didn't say anything and neither did I. We told him that Kate had a miscarriage, better keep up with the lie or risk dad murdering you
Me: thanks sis
Her: next time talk to us before you make such decisions. Yaya please don't get pregnant yet
We both chuckled
Me: she's on birth control
Yaya gave me a look, that "seriously" look and I just smiled at her. she never told me not to mention it
Yana: anyway I have to go. See you later. Bye guys
Us: bye
With that Yana walked out and Yaya hit my shoulder, more like she shoved it
Me: OUCH!
Her: you didn't have to tell your sister that
Me: sorry... geeez
Her: whatever
Me: oh... kay
I pulled her to me, she tried fighting me but eventually she gave in and we cuddled. She told me what happened at the dinner and what her father actually said that pissed her off and then she told me that her favourite artist was in Joburg and that her work was being showcased at his show
Me: so you the lucky student?
Her: yep...
Me: why does it sound like there's more to this than you letting on?
Her: I might get a scholarship to study abroad
