MaNdlanzi Wakhe

chapter 6: home sweet home

Thursday morning-
I woke up at 8am, did my hygiene process and wore a long white body hugging dress with white sandals. I applied Vaseline on my face and combed hair. I put some lipgloss on my lips , made the bed then I left to the dining room.
Me: Molweni(hello)
Themba: molo(hello)
I went to the kitchen and found Palesa with Anathi on her back.
Me: Morning Palesa
Palesa: morning yoh Ndikhathele( I'm tired)
Loyiso walked in. She was wearing a black skirt with a long sheelved black t-shirt.
Me: Morning Yiso
Loyiso: hey guys.. we need to make breakfast for the whole family and some of our neighbours are coming ngabo12 so let's get started.
Me: okay.. I will toss eggs and bacon.
Palesa: I'll make toast.
Loyiso: ok then I will make coffee and juice.
Vuyo came in wearing her gown.
Vuyo: *yawn* morning guys.
Aunt Modise: wuu he eh! Intombazane evuka ngaleliqesha?! U half past nine ngoku! *Whispering* ukhulelwe yini?( A girl that wakes up at this time?! It's half past ine right now. Are you pregnant?)
Vuyo: ha aunt Modise! Ndifuna ukuhlamba. Ndicela amanzi abilayo( I want to bath. Please may I have boiling water)
Palesa gave her some and she left.
Aunt Modise: phekani phela! Silambile apha!( We are hungry here)
She leaves.
Palesa: wuu ngeke she is needs the Holy Spirit nje yohhh
We laughed at that then got to work. At 11am everyone was having breakfast in the dinner table.
Thulani: Siyabonga ngokudla ukumnandi (thank you for the delicious food)
Mr V: kumnandi ngempela!( It's really nice)
Aunt Modise: ayi kushoda usawoti nje( there's no salt)
Themba rolled his eyes. Aunt Modise is Mr V's eldest sibling.
After breakfast it was 12pm. We washed the dishes.
Palesa: guys let's explore this place. Njalo nje we stuck in this house
Loyiso: okay let me just go change
Palesa: nami
Loyiso had changed into a navy tight with a black hoodie. Palesa was wearing a black long sheelved jumpsuit with black Jordans. I also decided to wear a black jean jacket since it was getting cold. I wore that with white All Stars.
Palesa: we going by car?
Loyiso: no let's walk so that we can save petrol.
Me: shouldn't we tell them first?
Loyiso: yeah that's a good idea, let's go.
We walked to the dining room and all eyes were on us.
Themba: wow
Palesa: take a picture and it will last longer.
She winked at Themba and Ayabonga( Themba's wife) side-eyed her.
Loyiso: we going out for a walk. We will be back by 4 for dinner preparations
Aunt Mosadi: haybo! For lunch?
Ayabonga: I will cook.
We mouthed a thank you to Ayabonga.
Vuyo: can I also go?
Aunt Mosadi: ayi wena Vuyo! Hlala apha ugade ingane la. ( Stay here and take care of your child)
Mr V: you can go girls, be safe.
Loyiso: yes Dad.
We finally left the house.
Palesa: what's going on with Vuyo?
Me: she's pregnant
Them: haybo!
Loyiso: how do you know?
Me: everything, her feet are painful, she wakes up wayy too late, she eats too much.. want me to say more?
Palesa: yoh I feel so sad for her unborn child, she neglects Anathi so much lapho she(Anathi) is so nice and lovely to be around with.
Loyiso: haw Palesa! Usuthanda ngane wena?
Palesa: children are just such a joy but I don't want one right now because they are a full time job.
Me: Ungasho uphinde ntombo(you can say that again!)
Loyiso: guys I have something to tell you.
Palesa: spill girl
Loyiso: I'm pregnant
Palesa: Amen!
Me: to be honest I knew way before.
Loyiso: ayi wena shame! Anyway so I don't know who the father is.
Palesa: Hallelujah!
Loyiso: but I don't want it to be Luyanda or Nathan.
Me: ulale neNdiya?( You slept with an Indian?)
Loyiso: he's half white and half Indian
Palesa: yoh ntombazane. Who's the last person you had sex with?
Loyiso: Erick James but he had a condom on.
Palesa: you not to judge kodwa ayi shame! I wonder what your body count is.
Loyiso: 34 but 35 if you count Landile Ngwenya who just took it out when he realised it was me
Me: *laughing*
We walked until we got to a local spaza. I bought apple munch( I was so happy to see that it was still here) and hot Doritos with brutal fruit( I was craving it) Loyiso was so sad that she couldn't have it. Palesa had Corona with niknaks and Loyiso had some sweets and lays. We carried on walking.
Palesa: my body count is 12 kuphela.
Me: yoh mina only 8.
Loyiso: when did you lose your virginity and with who?
Me: I was 19 years old, my first varsity party with Daniel Peterson
Palesa: classic
Loyiso: I was 18, high school graduation with Yanga Mncube
Palesa: I was 22 with Mxolisi Ngcobo
Me: wow girl you first had sex five years ago(she's 27)
Palesa: yep and I'm proud
Me: *chuckle*
Palesa: so girl what are you going to do about your baby
Loyiso: Imma keep the baby obviously. I just need to work out who the father is and tell him. I have seen too many dramas where the girl doesn't tell the father kanti the father wanted to be a father and was ready so ayiii I don't want that. If he doesn't want to be in my unborn's life it's fine vele I was raised by a single mother so I can also be a single mother I guess.
Palesa: nathi sikhona vele( we are also here)
Me: moral support!
We all laughed. We just wandered around the area and it was actually quite nice and refreshing, seeing where I grew up. My house is literally like a few metres away we could literally walk there.
Me: let's go to my house.
Loyiso: yoh okay quickly ke coz it's literally 2:30 manje.
We walked to my childhood home. There were cars parked outside so they were here. We walked into the yard and heard moans- ewww. I walked inside and saw Nkosinathi(my brother) fucking Nthabiseng(his second wife) on the couch and Nandi( first wife) was in the kitchen.
Me: ewww Nkosinathi!!
I literally saw everything!
Nkosi: oh shit... Erm uxolo sis wami( sorry my sister)
Me: yoh ndiya kuNandi( I'm going to Nandi)
Loyiso and Palesa followed me. I like Nandi more than Nthabiseng coz Nandi is so loving and humble and Nthabi is rude and mean, Nathi's favourite.
Me: Nandiiiii
She smiled at me sweetly- she looked like she was crying.
Nandi: hey Amanda.
She came to me and hugged me.
Me: This is Loyiso and Palesa
Them: hey
Me: what are you cooking and why is Nthabi not cooking?
Nandi: you know how Nathi is.
Me: nx umsangano nje( nonsense)
Nandi: anyway, how are you here like wow! I thought you were in Johannesburg.
Me: yeah but Loyiso's aunt passed on so I'm here for that.
Nandi: oh I'm so sorry Loyiso.
She hugged her.
She finished up cooking.
Palesa: wuu ngeke ntombo how did you end up with such a selfish man and so disgusting?
Nandi: I just fell in love mfethu..
Loyiso: do you still love him?
Nandi kept quiet.
Me: Nandi mishiye!( Leave him)
Nandi: I can't do that.. I have children with him..
Me: come on Celisile is 5 years old!
Nandi: you don't understand mfethu.. I'm fallen too deep in love.
Palesa: ayi Nandi, you are such a lovely and kind person but you cannot let him ruin you kanje!
Nandi: yes I do stand my ground
Loyiso: they were having kloff kloff right infront of you! They disrespect you!
Nkosinathi and Nthabiseng walked in- smelling fresh and wearing other clothes.
Nthabiseng: sanibona(hello)
I just side-eyed her.
Palesa: yebo.
Nkosi: how are you my sister? Nandi please make her some tea.
Me: haybo Nkosinathi! Nandi is your wife not your fucken slave or maid! Get one if you want one.
My mom walked in.
Mom: haybo! Amanda?!! Ngiyaphupha yini?!( Am I dreaming)

Hey guysss! I hope you enjoyed that chapter and I tried to make it long nyana just for you. I have an idea on what I'm gonna do when I hit 100 views. I will do POV's of almost everyone in the story but obviously not Amanda since the whole time it was her. So I will do a small POV of Palesa, Loyiso, Nandi, Nthabiseng, Nkosinathi, Sifiso and Simphiwe. Thank you so much for reading this story and supporting me. Love you loads, I hope you enjoyed it.
