Destiny To Be

chapter five

ZITHULELE

Getting ready is never a mission for me but however today it feels a little bit different. Different than any other day. Probably it is because today I'm going to face my worst nightmare.

After contacting Onkarabile back yesterday I knew we had to meet up and get this through but I didn't expect her to mean the following day. Normally you'd get women duck and diving when it comes to meeting especially under these kind of circumstances but with her it's different.

Last night she confirmed on meeting up at Mugg and Bean and immediately after our conversation I informed Nkosinathi about it. Telling him was probably the worst mistake because he wanted to go with me but I immediately paused it and told him to not come with because the last thing I want is to scare her away knowing exactly the type of person he is.

After getting ready I went downstairs to grab something to eat. The house is quiet meaning that Mam'Sophie is not around normally I'd find her in the kitchen but it seems like she not coming in today.

The clock hits eleven thirty and i was ready to leave. We were meeting at Mugg and Bean at Midrand Shopping Center. I walked to the garage and hopped in my matt black Range Rover and off I went.

On the way I was listening to 'We Cry by JP Cooper ' and I sang along. 

You say I kiss the bottom more than I kiss you
And lately you've been needing something like a parachute
Because you feel like you've been falling
I leave first thing in the morning
And we're scrapping at the barrel just to stop the bailiffs calling

I've been trying to tell myself it's just a temporary season
And I guess that growing pains are given that name for a reason
It's no fairytale love, and I don't say it enough
But I swear my love permanent and all I want is us

This song really speaks to me and I'm feeling all types of emotions right now.
I arrived twenty minutes later and headed straight to where we were meeting.

Few minutes later as I was busy tapping on my phone I looked up and saw her at the entrance like she was searching for me. I raised my hand and signaled for her.

As she was walking towards me along with her daughter I couldn't help but notice the huge baby bump. Even when she's pregnant and has put on some weight she still remains to stay beautiful.

"Hi" I say as I stand and opened the chair for hee and helped her daughter too.

"Hello" "How have you've been, it's been a while " she chuckles she tries to lighten the mood.

"Yeah it definitely has been"

"Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, this is Aquila. Dumedisa pumpkin "[Great pumpkin]

"Hi sir" her daughter says in respectful and shy manner. I smiled at her

"Hello Aquila "

"Are you guys hungry?]

"Yeah"

I signal for a waitress to come and take up our orders.

"Can I please have a grilled cheese sandwich with coffee no milk and for the ladies?"

"I'll have a double cheese burger, with chips and ribs with a mango juice and little muss here will have a cheese burger and some orange juice "

"Okay ill be back with your orders shortly " the waitress said.
