The Sands Of Tshani 2

Part 50 - Finale

**Anam

I was back where it all started. Back on The Sands Of Tshani with my big belly walking with my baby daddy on the sands of Tshani. He had my hand in his. We were right where he confessed his feelings for me. I was close to giving birth, my baby loved her father's voice because just the sound of his voice she would go crazy and start kicking as if she was ready to pop out. It was cute and painful for me. Marcel adored me more than anything, he catered to my every need. And I mean EVERY need. I was a pain in the ass no doubt but he loved me either way. It was March and Marcel and I came back last month, I wanted to give birth in Tshani with my family and friends around me. his mother and father were also back, they were so supportive throughout my pregnancy and so was my family. We were supposed to be having a family picnic, well we were having a family picnic under the sun but Marcel and I were walking by the beach hand in hand.

Him: this is where I first told you how I feel about you... do you remember?

I smiled

Me: of cause I do. How could I forget? You were nervous AF!

He chuckled nervously

Him: Anam I love you.

Me: I know babe. And I love you too

Him: you always have to cut me short huh? can I be allowed to finish?

I smiled and nodded.

Him: thank you. As I was saying, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone before. My life changed the minute I saw you. You were this cute kid with cute big eyes, hair tied up walking with her brother at Nandos and I told myself then and there that you were going to be the mother of my child and here you are pregnant with my child

I smiled

Him: You've been through a lot for someone your age, you the most strongest person I know and have ever met and I don't see myself with anyone else but you.

He went down on one knee.

Me: what are you doing?

He took out a blue small box from his pocket.

Him: I may have met you in Mthatha but this was where you and I started Bunny. Please do me the honour of becoming my wife and the future mother of our next kids.

I looked at him with teary eyes and a smile. I nodded with my hand on my mouth.

Him: is that a yes?

He said slipping the ring on my left hand. He got up and hugged me then spun me around thanking me countless times. I heard people cheering for us. he put me down and I buried my face on his chest. I was 18, 9 months pregnant and just said yes to being my first love's wife. Can life get any better than this? he pulled me towards our family and friends. People each hugged me and congratulated me, even my brother was happy for me. my whole family and his family were there together with Bush and Snora. Well they were supposed to be in school, Snora was doing drama at Wits while Bush was at CPUT studying Clothing Management. The plan was that I was going back to school with my baby after Easter holidays, Marcel and I rented an apartment together which was close to school, I was going to get a nanny for our baby so that she can stay with her while I'm in school. I was going to make this work, in Xhosa they say "indlovu ayisindwa ngumboko wayo" which is something about how an Elephant doesn't need help with its trunk, I don't know how to translate it but its somewhere along those lines. I wanted my baby to grow up with her mother around and know me as her mother. We would visit Tshani during holidays. I don't know how I managed to pass the second semester but I passed all my subjects, I was left with 3 semesters while Marcel was finishing his degree this year. Robin was studying Engineering and she loved what she was doing. She and Mo were the only ones not around. We had a nice meal and after eating we made our way home. Later on mom came in my room and found me talking to my baby and brushing my tummy. She sat on top of the bed.
