Chapter 18

The silence that was within the car was thick to cut. I could see with the way that Thulani was when we left home that he was not feeling okay that moment. I know that they had a bit of an argument with his brother but he has not told me what they ended up saying. My mother had a hard time with letting me go and even begged my father to just ask them to let me stay for a while but I was more than happy to be away from home for a while and actually go to Durban, I will visit from time to time. 
Mimi apologized about not making it and she told me that her mother is not well so she had to rush and see her but I don't have a problem with that. As long as her mother is getting better and she is taken care off then I can wait. 
The street lights are the one thing that are providing the most light as he is driving. I am looking outside the window as he is driving. I feel him holding my hand into his and I look back to him.
“Ntaka are you okay?”,I ask and he breathes in and out.
“Qophelo wants nothing to do with me”,He mentions.
“He will come around”,I mention.
“He told me not to come to his wedding when he gets married”,He mentions and there is a pin drop of silence.
“But you are brother's this shouldn't be the case”
“He doesn't care really”
I feel so bad for him.
“I am sorry for all of this it is my fault”,I mention
“It is not your fault. No one is at fault here just that he needs to grow up”,He mentions.
There is some silence and he smiles and looks at me for a moment.
“I didn't know you were going to do what you did with the shoes”,He mentions and I am flushed.
“I thought it would be nice”
“I loved it”
“I am glad”,I mention.
“Are you hungry?”,He asks.
“No, I am too full”,He nods.
We get to his house just after some time and the gate opens and the garage too and he drives in and the gate closes and so as the garage. We get out of the car and I grab my bags. Yes Nomvula made sure I leave my pyjamas and carried her things but I put inside my gown in the bag. 
We walk through the door connected to the kitchen and garage and we walk inside. He turns on the lights and I go to his bedroom and I stand by the door and he comes through the passage and looks at me.
“Are you scared to get in?”,He asks with a smirk on his lips.
“Why would I be?”
“Then get in”,He mentions and I get inside the room. 
I place my bag on the bed and then I turn around to face him as he opens the lights and he rubs his hands together after that.
“I am so tired”,I mention before I sit on the bed.
He comes closer to be and he crouches infront of me and helps me take off my shoes. I thank him when he is done.
“Can I get a kiss?”,I nod my head and he stands up and leans down to capture my lips. I close my eyes and hold onto his top just so I don't tumble backwards and he breaks the kiss and slowly smiles looking at me. 
“Let's get some rest”,I nod my head. 
He pulls away and walks out of the room leaving me to get ready for bed.

NONKONZO MVELASE

We did go out to dinner but Qophelo was not happy at the fact that his brother would hide something like this from him but we enjoyed our time out and went back to the hotel once again. I do feel tired, so Nomvelo is more than just a widow now she is a bitch with strategy, she thought since she can't have Qophelo she should go for his brother. Wow that is really low of her and after Nomvula protected her, I was really right about her. She is after men and that Widow act was just for show. 
“I am tired”,Qophelo says and I nod as soon as he gets out of the bathroom.
I nod my head.
“Me too, I want to just rest but I need to make a call first ”,He nods.
“So what are you going to do about your brother?”,I ask.
“I don't want him near me”
“But he is your brother”
“He didn't think of that when he was thinking of getting married to...”,He keeps quiet.
I just nod my head.
“Let me go and make that call then I will come to bed”,He nods his head and comes to kiss my lips.
“You know that I love you right?”,I nod my head. 
“I love you too”,He smiled and then I go and get my phone and I then wear my slippers and I go to the bathroom to make the call.
I quickly call Nomvula and it gets answered.
“Nkonzo”
“Wow I didn't know that your sister was getting hitched",I say.
“It was non of your business”
“But it is since that is my brother in law marrying your sister”
“Nonkonzo please just leave me alone. Ukuthi it is your brother in law I don't care. Why didn't he tell you and leave me out of this”.
“Mxm”
She hangs up after that. Nomvula can be rude at times honestly.
I wash my face and I then get to tie my hair properly before I walk out of the bathroom. I find Qophelo asleep on bed. Really his brother helped me here also by taking that girl away but the disadvantage here is that I have to be somewhat related to her. Why did she have to surface out of the hole she was in wherever she comes from.  I take off my clothes and then I just slip in bed next to Qophelo and he pulls me closer to him and kisses my cheek. I love this man and I am happy he is going to be only mine forever.
