I feel my waterfall of tears fall for the 100th time ever since Dumisani has been in a coma since last year and now I feel like giving up. The doctors have given him two more weeks before the machine is switched off because wow,he's been gone for a long time. I turn my head and see Khanya sleeping on her mother's shoulder and I wipe my tears.
She celebrated her first birthday without Dumisani,first Christmas and New Year's Day,I miss him so much. I know I am not even a girlfriend but his energy and company.
I miss the flowers and the chocolate when we used to fight so much and even that time he brought me ice cream when we went to the park for our first date and that time he asked Khanya to bring me gifts at my university.
I reach for his hand, take it and put it on my head as I hold it with both my hands."Wake up, Dumisani, please."I say with my eyes closed and I start saying a small prayer in my heart.
"Zeno?"I hear a disembodied voice call my name but I ignore it."Zeno?"I lift my head up and see his eyes moving. It takes me two seconds to proceed that it's him and he's awake. I help him with getting comfortable,help him take off the breathing mask and shake my head. I pinch my arm to see if I am not dreaming and I feel my tears fall when I see that it's not a dream."Ze-"
I immediately wrap my arms around his neck, my heart bumping inside my chest and I just squeeze him more to show that I can't let him go even if we fight so much but I feel like it's time I spoke up about what is really bothering me but not now.
"Bafo!"I feel someone join the hug and then another one does the same thing.
"Daddy."Khanya says and she also joins the hug.
"Okay, you are all hurting me. The wound,guys."He says and the hug is broken apart but I didn't want to leave him.
"Mabishop misses you."I turn around to see Sandile smirking and with his arms folded. I bite my lip.
"MaMbatha."He says and I know I should back away. I back away without looking at him but he brings me closer to him and kisses me. He inserts his tongue into my mouth,with passion and everything in him,he kisses me. I would describe the kiss as passion and everything in him. He holds my waist,I rest my hand on his chest and he lowers his hand on my lower back and I know the baby mama is watching with envy.
"Bafo! Your daughter is here."I hear Calvin say and I smirk as I try to pull away but Dumisani kisses me and finally pecks my kiss. I back away while I hold his chest and have the biggest blush on my cheeks.
"I missed you too, MaMbatha."Dumisani says while looking at her but I keep my eyes on my hand."Zeno?"He says with his hoarse voice again and then lifts her chin up. When my eyes meet his,I am filled with butterflies,the spark in my eyes visible and my heart jumping out of her chest.
