I finished up packing my laptop and files in my laptop bag.  Its a Friday and I'm knocking of early today cause Zizipho and her baby are getting discharged today,well Zizipho was supposed to have been discharged a long time ago but she didn't want to leave so I had to ask Lwando to do something to make her stay there until her baby got discharged.

Then there's Ndumiso. I don't know whats going on with him its as if he is completely avoiding to see me,every time I make plans for us to meet he comes up with a story and its beenbeen literally two weeks since we've seen each other and  I'm just Bella confused but still trying to give him some space cause maybe he needs some time away but this is just way to much. I'm too scared to go to his house cause he lives with his mom so its kinds disrespectful especially if he didn't invite me and I cant go to his workplace cause I dont know where is it located. Its quite frustrating and the more I think about it the more it annoys the heck out of me so rather I just block it and settle for the texts until he is ready to face me cause I know there is something wrong.

"Andile don't forget to reschedule the meeting with Mr Governor"

"I've noted it down dont worry ma'am"

"Great,keep well then I'll see you on Monday"

I left making my way to my car.

I bought a few balloons before driving to the hospital to fetch Zizipho. She signed all her necessary documents and we left with her beautiful little baby boy. Zisokuhle. Her mom named him and I thought it was the most beautiful name cause I know he will bring all good things into our life. The way I love him I just want to protect him with my life.

We drove back home and I had already prepared a nursery for Zisokuhle,I was so excited I think I might have gone overboard with everything but still its the cutest. I mean its a Winnie the Pooh themed bedroom so obviously its cute,old fashioned but cute.

Zizipho made her way upstairs to bath and feed him while I prepared something to eat for the both of us. I prepared some chicken wrappers with a side of fries.

She descended the stairs looking much better and I know that's the power of a long steaming shower,it has some magic that just leaves you refreshed. She came to sit across me on the high chair.

"Sweery"

"Hey"she exhales balancing her face on her hand.

"How you feeling?"

"Overwhelmed, tired,drained...should I go on?"

"Its fine I get the picture. Its goanna get better you know". I hand her,her plate.

"I don't see how that will happen but then again ithemba alibulali(hope doesn't kill)"she says taking the plate.

"You know dats right. Wine or juice?"I offer.

"Chileee I'm breastfeeding"we both laugh.

"Well you look like you need a glass"I shrug walking to the fridge to get her juice.

"Well I'm tryna be a responsible mom over here"

"Hayike responsible mother excuse me I need to go shower and change into something more comfortable and you can eat and when you done just go and rest. I'll check on Ziso okay?"

She nods with her mouth full. I wiped my hands with the hand cloth and made my way upstairs.

I headed to the bathroom to do my hygiene process and got dressed in my wide leg comfy pants and baggy T shirt with a pair of my comfy slippers.
