Inhliziyo Yami Yopha: My Heart Bleeds

Chapter 64

NOMBUSO

Bonga came back with news that the doctor wanted to see us yesterday afternoon. I asked him what he thought it's about but he said isn't sure and he didn't want to guess what it's about. He suggested we rather hear it from the horse's mouth than to overthink things that might just cause us to be sick.

And so here we are in the doctor's office, waiting for Dr Kheswa to come and address us. The receptionist said that she's waiting for Dr Naidoo to get here so they can come and inform us about what's happening. All we were told to do is to sit tight and wait for the doctors' orders. But I'm impatient right now.

This must be important because why else would Dr Naidoo travel from the hospital he works at to come to this practice, to deliver good news. If that's even the case. I've been biting on my nails as well as bouncing my leg non-stop, and I can tell Bonga is getting irritated by it. He's tried calming me down and telling me to stop but I just can't.

I feel like I'm slowly losing my mind not knowing what's-what and these doctors takimg their time to get to this office is adding on to my anxiety. Now I'm glad Bonga suggested we leave the kids behind and ask Zamani and his women to look after the kids. They were more than delighted to look after them as they could use every moment to spend it together.

Speaking of Zamani and his women, it's crazy how well they get along. One would swear that Kedi and Dakalo were sisters with how well they treat each other. Not to mention how great Dakalo treats Reneilwe as her own and the same thing with Kedi and Dakalo's child.

At first it confused me how a woman would be good with their husband taking a wife, while they are not even a wife themselves. Yes, it might be tht Dakalo chose not to be Zamani's wife but it still wouldn't have mattered to other women. And that's the exact same thoughts I had about her, thinking that maybe she had ulterior motives to get Kedi out of Zamani's life.

That was just the concerned pary of me looking out for my friend's well-being. And not only her's, but her daughter's too. In as much as Dakalo is my sister-in-law, my loyalty lies with Kedi. She's more of my sister rather than a friend who has been with me through the good and the bad time's.

I'm glad my loyalty wasn't tested because God knows how that would have turned out seeing that my husband would support his brother. I'm sure it would have caused problems in our own relationship.

But so far, everything between them has been amazing. They both treat each other with respect which is the most important aspect in such a relationship, or any relationship for that matter. I admire both woman for sticking with a man that wants to have his bread buttered on both sides.

I would never be able to handle such but I guess that's why they say different strokes, for different folks. Every time I talk about the dynamics of these three people's relationship with Bonga, he quickly shuts it down. And this is after I expressed what I would do to him if he ever brings up the idea of me sharing him with someone else.

I can't really say much about it but all I can say is that it wasn't good. At all. And so he made me vow never to talk about other people's relationships and just focus on ours. He said the things that came out from my mouth that day, really traumatized him and he'd like if we never talk about it again.

To be honest, when I said everything that I said to him that day, was all just a bluff but I'm glad it scared him. Because now he knows that if he were to ever cheat on me, there would be dire consequences to his actions. I don't play around especially now that we have kids together, it would be a bloody mess. No pun intended.

"Baby?", I feel Bonga shake me a little.

I turn to look at him, "Huh?"

"The doctors are here. I've been calling out to you for a minute or two now. Are you okay?", he looks at me concerned.
