my heart can never trust again

chapter 43

I don't know how to feel about what happened yesterday. I told Bayanda about it when we got back home and he was supportive, as always. I love my man so much!

Tumisho has been blowing up my phone since the corridor incident and I don't know what to say to him so I block him instead. He is disturbing my peace on my own phone? No, I can't allow that.

Anyway, Bayanda, Azania and I are going to a church service tonight at my very own church.

We get there and exchange greeting with everyone.

Mom: everyone around here missed you.
Me: mxm, they missed gossiping.
Mom: hu uh, Mapula.
Me: am I lying though?
Mom: leave that, please leave me with my granddaughter for a few days.
Me: no problem.

The service continues as normal and after the service, I see Tumisho's grandmother.

Me: hey ma.
Her: my daughter, how are you and how is married life treating you?
Me: I'm okay and married life is treating me extremely well, ma.
Her: I'm happy for you.
Me: it must be great having a granddaughter-in-law, isn't it?
Her: Tumisho should have just married you. Yvonne wasn't even carrying his child, the child she was carrying belonged to another man.
Me: ma?
Her: I'm telling you.
Me: that girl is crazy.
Her: you have no idea.

She starts telling me all these stories about how Yvonne would ill-treat Tumiaho and how she has never respected Tumisho's family. Wonders shall never end. The people from around here never cease to amaze me.
