Sobahle
I open my eyes and find Bukhosi sitting on the couch looking busy on his Pc he is wearing black trackpants and a hoodie. I stretch my body and he looks up at me.
"Good morning."
"Morning Sobahle."
He greets me back and smiles shortly at me as he watches me struggle standing up. I walk to the bathroom with a sheet around me and as soon as I close the bathroom door I breath out loud, I take a shower and when I get out I find the bed made with new sheets.
"Oh don't worry I washed them and put clean ones."
"I'm sorry for staining your sheets."
I say fiddling with my bathrobe and he comes towards me and hugs me.
"It's ok you did nothing wrong and don't worry about them they are just sheets and I managed to clean them ok." I nod looking down.
"Are you feeling any uncomfortable pains down there." He asks with a soft voice while holding me in his arms.
"No the pain is bearable I'll be fine." I say looking down and he brings my face up looking worried.
"Are you sure"
"Yes." I respond lowly.
"Ok, thank you for trusting me with your body, now get dressed and come eat ok."
He says caressing my face.
"Ok I'm coming right now."
I say walking to the closet, People I have commited the greatest mistake, I'm in love with Bukhosibomvelo Zulu and he is not aware and not that he cares because we are in a situationship.
"Did you by any chance see my pods?"
"No, I haven't didn't you leave them in the gym like the last time?"
"Maybe I left them there, I'm now off to work usale kahle?" Bukhosi says wiping himself using the napkin, standing up and leaving without even a hug or anything like that but I got into this knowing the terms laid out.
"Sisi UMancobo is here to see you?"
Maxulu our house helper says waking me up.
"Oh thank you Ma I'll be right now can you please prepare a light snack for us and when you are done you can ask bhuti'Ntsimbi to drive you home."
Maxulu goes home in Kwanongona to her family almost every weekend because she has a visually impaired son that she left under the care of her in-laws, she is a widow and a very loving woman.
"Ok, ngiyabonga for letting me knock off early I will prepare the snack for Undlovukazi and then leave."
She walks out and I change into a dress and then wash my face and leave the room going downstairs.
"Hlehle sawubona sisi, unjani ngane yami?" She says hugging me tightly and observing my whole body and face and then hugs me again.
"Hello Ma, ngi right and how are you?" I ask getting out of her embrace and joining her on the couch pouring tea from the tea pot and she just stare at me for a while before responding.
"I'm fine now that I have seen you, I'm sorry for showing up unannounced I wanted to surprise you."
Oh my sweet and loving mother-in-law bandla, she is wearing an elegant black dress, black ankle boots and a blue coat and a blue handbag. The females of this family most definitely take style inspiration from western duchesses and add their own signature touches to the outfits I wonder if my new dressing style will fit with theirs or even match with Bukhosi's charismatic style.
"Ngiyabonga Ma this is actually a very nice surprise."
"How is Bukhosibomvelo treating you?"
"He is treating me fine ma, how is Bayede doing?"
"Mxm loyo told me that it's still too soon to visit you because wena no Mvelo might be busy getting to know eachother." Trust my father in law to say that.
"No ma you can come here anytime you want to, I love having you around." I say and she smiles sweetly at me.
"Uyazi Mvelo really chose well, you are so beautiful and loving ngane yami." She compliments me and I blush.
"Oh thank you Mapholoba."
Ma and I sat for hours talking and catching up on the family's tea she left a two hours ago and made me promise her that I'll come visit her soon.
"Mapholoba told me she was here today, what did you guys get up to." Bukhosi asks as we are having dinner.
"Nothing much we just sat drank tea and had lunch together."
"Oh thats great. I'm glad you enjoyed spending time with her, phela I know my mom is a ball of happiness but I'm sure she bashed me a lot during your catch up."
"No she didn't bad mouth you hawu we didn't even talk about you, the only person who is still very much pissed at you is Senamile today when I was on a call with her she told me that she is still pissed of you."
"Yep she literally ignored my calls for the whole day and told Zwelethu that I kicked her out of my house so he shouldn't even invite me to their home until she says so, I will buy her flowers and a handbag to appease her you'll see she will come around"
I laugh at how he says he will appease her, when I told ma about their little fight she said that's how they have always been they fight a lot and forgive each very fast.
Bukhosi
"Bukhosi I booked an appointment to a salon in town, I wonder if I can drive myself there or what."
"You will be driven by Gatsha and you will call me when are done and I will come fetch you." I say as she gets into bed.
"Ok thanks and good night."
"Good night." I say facing away from her
"Gatsha make sure she is safe before you leave her there then you can go and rest I'll see you Monday."
"Yebo malandela I will make sure that she is safe before leaving, ngiyabonga numzane" Gatsha says before he walks to the back to fetch something I guess. Sobahle who comes from the house walking fast.
"MaZungu please remember to call when you are nearly done so that you don't wait for a long time."
I say walking her to the car and opening the backdoor for her to get inside.
"Yes I will remember to notify you, now please close the door I don't want to be late for my first appointment."
I chuckle still holding the door and she tries to keep her cool.
"What do you want Bukhosibomvelo you are delaying me."
She asks me boldly.
"I want this"
I say trying to kiss her lips but she moves her face away smiling.
"Bukhosi no stop playing around you are going to make late." She says blushing while trying to close the door but I hold it.
"Ok but one little peck."
"Yeah are you sure?" I say looking at her blushing.
"Bukhosi man..." We kiss for a while before I break the kiss leaving her breathing heavily.
"Bye MaZungu, Gatsa! you guys can leave now."
Gatsa gets into the car and drives out of the driveway and out the gates, I hope nobody will recognize Sobahle and try to harass her because some of the wedding guests posted videos and photos of the ceremony on social media platforms and the public is curious as to who is my wife and things like that but I won't allow Sobahle to feel like a prisoner because I married her.
