Chapter 44

In all honesty the presence of God can never be defined as anything that is Hort of being greatness and pure. I would say that my relationship with God got stronger as the months passed by and I would say that it has never been like this before. Nomvula is not a firm believer. She never was and she never will be. My mother has tried so many ways to get her in the oath where God is the tool to all door and problems and also joy and she does not seem to have put her head in that not even once. 
I move towards my husband who is laying in bed while reading something off his phone. He does that and I bet a thousand rands that he is reading up on some pregnancy article. He does that as he wants to ”educate” himself more on this pregnancy as I am not alone. 
And I have never felt alone in this pregnancy ever since I started to be pregnant I have has the biggest support that you could find. From him, my mother and also his mother the most. When I look at Thulani I just get reminded that this man is a man I didn't ask for from God but he provided me with him and he made him love me the way he loves me.  Thulani does love me very much and we have been with each other for almost a decade and I have never thought that my relationship with him is going into its downfall,no. We have had our arguments here and there as a couple and I love how we resolve issues as to when there are issues in the relationship then we talk through it and that we get to be given the opportunity to rectify our mistakes and try again. We are not perfect definitely not perfect but I would say this marriage is worth it in every single way. 
“Baby are you okay?”,Thulani asks as he sees me rubbing my tummy while coming from the bathroom through the passage.
Okay one thing I miss about home right now is our bedroom where everything I need is possibly there and that near bathroom is everything.
“Yes, the bathroom is a bit far”,I say.
“Do you want me to carry you to the bathroom when you go there?”,He asks.
“No thank you. I need to exercise baby so that I will not be lazy to give birth”
“Does that happen?”
“I have heard of that and I don't want it happening”,I say.
“I should put it for tomorrow's list of what I should read about. 
I shake my head and I open the bed covers and he fluffs my pillow well before I climb onto the bed and then I sit next to him and look at him.
“Are you done reading?”,I ask.
“What do you need baby?”,he asks as he runs my stomach. 
“Nothing, I was just asking”,I say.
He kisses my stomach gently and he smiles widely. 
“Hey boy, we can't wait to see you and how you look like as well”,He says softly and kissed my belly again. 
“Thank Mvelo”
“You don't have to thank me Ntaka, it's all God”,I say.
“I know and I have learnt the beauty of that from you but I feel like you also deserve my thank yous as a husband to his wife”
“You know what can make me.happy?”,I ask. 
“What?”
“If I got that yohgurt I did the last time tomorrow”,I say.
“You are craving it?”,I nod my head.
“Its not a pressing matter though”
“Okay I will get you as much as you like flavours.
“I just want Vanilla flavour”,He perks my lips.
“Okay baby”,I then lay my head on his shoulder and we keep on talking amoungst ourselves. 

QOPHELO MZIMELA

My wife, has been...how can I put it? Trying her level best to try and prove to be something in our marriage.We touched up on the matter of having another child again and she told me that she is willing to have another child with me as she is not ready to loose me.  I love Nonkonzo and for the longest time I have loved her. I do not think that will change but the way she compromises in a relationship is affecting us as a married couple. 
Bonga and Hlubi, something I never expected.  I always knew that Bonga never liked me in that manner and she made it Christel clear that I do not stand a chance being with her though from then I would've loved to have taken our friendship to another level just as she did with Hlubi and see where it goes. Maybe Sqalo would be my son and not his son and maybe we would be together even now but I know to be better than chasing over an old high school crush that I had when I was a bit younger though she has not changed but still it does not mean that years have not passed by and things have not changed as well. 
I am in my office and I am going through some work.  Thulani and Nomvelo are expecting. I didn't know how to react to that. It also got me questioning why they didn't start having a child of their own these years or they wanted to enjoy their marriage first and foremost before anything else maybe? It could be the case at this point and also I could be asking and answering myself at the same time as well that I could never really have the right answer unless I ask. 
A knock surfaces from my door and I lift my head and shout a  come in and the door opens revealing my personal assistant.
“Good day sir, your wife called asking that you get h your son today from Sports as she will be stuck in court during that time”,She says.
“Oh okay thank you so much, is there anything else?”
“No sir that will be all”,I nod and thank her. 
She closes the door and I go back to working. I really hope.thst Nonkonzo gets pregnant soon so that we don't have our kids this much years apart from each other but be off reasonable years between the age gaps.
