I don't know how I fell asleep but all I could feel was Pain,pain,pain for the past 5 years that's all I've been dreaming of .The very same day when he left us ..I didn't know I was 2 weeks pregnant with Owami and me being me I didn't bother looking for him or telling him anything about my pregnancy so I moved to another town and hid my identity and hid Owami'sx identity after birth as much as I could. But I honestly thought that by now he would have found us,judging to the fact that his a Royal Prince and the most famous KZN bachelor guy that family is more than rich they are filthy rich but it looks like I really did a good job,or better yet he just didn't care anymore."Mwammy" I heard Owami calling me. He probably should be up already it's Saturday and I promised to take him to a nearby park for a picnic.
Me: yes boy boy,are you up already?
Owami: yess mwammy we still going to the park ain't we ??Me:yepp we are now let's get cleaned up then we will pass by the grocery store to buy some fruits and snacks for the picnic.
Owami :yaaay and chocolate?
Me :yes and chocolate but just one.
Owami whined and I just laughed.I swear this boy would be a drama king anyways he never seems to amaze me.
We were now on our way to checkers playing Owami's favorite song baby shark when my phone started ringing I looked at the caller ID and it was unknown, thinking maybe it was someone from work I turned the volume down but not without Owami looking at me I gave him my best of smile and answered the call.
Me: Sisipho speaking hello
??:ekugcineni,ufuna ngempela ukuthumela ethuneni kani ngisemncane kakhulu hee.
( finally ,You really want to send me to my grave at a early age heeee)I was not hundred percent Zulu but I could hear it and Damn by the sound of that voice I knew it was my aunt ,mam'ncane Dora . How did she even get my numbers firstly I mean I changed my numbers four years ago how did she find them?.
