Tiger drove off heading to his workplace.he drove along the freeway.he had never felt so uneasy like today.he thought maybe it was how he had a talk with his mother in law.he felt so disrespectful.and that his late wife was not happy with him.

"Murderer"

A voice said from the back.he quickly hit the brake immediately stopping his car.he looked behind him where the voice was coming from and there was no one.the back seat was empty,same goes to the passenger.he stepped out taking a  bottle a water with.he drank all of it before throwing the empty bottle on the side of the road.maybe his mind was playing games with him.he stepped in again Then drove off with all the car Windows open.

Going through her wedding album had become a addit to Khangelwa just after a few months after their divorce was finalized.she looked at the pictures realizing how happy and free they were.she just wished things turned out different than they did.and knowing that it was her past mistakes and decisions that got them here hurt.but she had to forgive herself right.even though she had excepted that it was over she still kept the album for good memories.

Her phone pinged indicating that she just received a message.and seconds later it rang.she looked at the office number then quickly answered holding her breath.

Khangelwa:Hello?.
Women:Good day miss....Can I please have a word with miss Khangelwa.
Khangelwa:Speaking.
Women:Okay miss,I'm Promise from motso travel and adventurous events.im calling to tell you that you got the job you have applied for and you are needed   to come at the offices on Monday morning so you can go through the paper work and also sign the contract.
Khangelwa:(Held her breath)Thank you so much.i will be there.
Promise:Okay miss,have a good day.
Khangelwa:Have a good day too.

She hung up then screamed happily.Tears filled her eyes as she closed them praying silently.this was her break through.She would finally hold a baby of her own in her own hands.she just couldn't wait to start the process.pity she didn't have anyone to celebrate with.the last time she spoke to Relebohile things didn't go well.

"Next"The nurse from the clinic said.

Nthabiseng walked in the room holding her handbag.she placed it on the table then smiled at the nurse before taking a sit down.

Nurse:(Smiled)Good day Sisi.
Nthabiseng:Hey.
Nurse:What can I help You with.
Nthabiseng:I'm here to register for my pregnancy.
Nurse:Okay mommy.as the normal procedure.you have to take a pregnancy test first to confirm and yes you can still take it if you already did.then do the blood tests.
Nthabiseng:That won't be necessary.Look i need a favour from you.
Nurse:Mam if you are came here with hopes of buying me or anything then you are wrong.if you know that you are not pregnant please take your leave before I call the security on you.
Nthabiseng:Name your price.
Nurse:Can you please leave.
Nthabiseng:R3000.
Nurse:Yes, R3000 for you to say that I'm pregnant, also register me.Then will do the rest.i just need that card.

The nurse looked at her.R3000 is a lot of money especially in the situation she was in.She still had a 2 months rent that she was due to pay.

Nurse:(Sighed)Okay but this better not lead back to me.

Nthabiseng smiled.

At the suburbs,Nkazimulo led Tshegofatso to his bedroom.They both sat on his comfortable bed.he held both her hands looking straight in her eyes.

Nkazimulo:I like you.i really do. I know it's our first time meeting but I've dreamt of this day for like forever.

That came unexpected.Tshegofatso smiled not sure how to respond.he stood up then Opened his side drawer taking out a small box.

Nkazimulo:I saw this at the mall yesterday and all I thought of was you.

He opened the box and it was a silver necklace and earings. Tshegofatso looked at him as he turned her around putting it on around her.His warm fresh breath hitting her neck giving her goosebumps.her stomach tightened as she felt some butterflys in."No Tshego you are doing this for your sister."She warned herself.

Tshegofatso:(Touched the necklace and smiled)Thank you,I like it.
Nkazimulo:My pleasure.
