ASEMAHLE'S POV

I slowly opened my eyes; I scanned my surroundings. It seems like I'm still at the hospital but why am I in the bed and a drip is connected on my arm then it hit me, Ntsika I screamed.

me:'' Kayise, I want kayise, where is kayise?''

Dad:'' Angel calm down, please stressing is not good for the child please.''

Child, what child?

me:'' What child dad? I don't want a child, I want my husband, where is he? they took him, they-''

I wailed loudly, dad got in the bed and held me closely to his chest.

Him:'' My angel please you are hurting me baby, I'll find him okay, I'll get my trusted man to look for him. I promise we will find him soon.''

Sometimes I forget my dad is a well-known and feared gangsters [ Taker]. Then I remembered he said something about a baby.

me:'' Daddy.''

Him:'' Yes, my baby.''

me:'' Am I going to have baby?''

Him:'' Yes, my baby is having a baby.''

I laugh at how; he is saying it.

me:'' Daddy I'm sorry.''

Him:'' For what now?''

I cried ask why I'm crying, I don't know.'

me:'' I promised to wait for my wedding day, but I didn't, now I'm even pregnant, I'm sorry for disappointing you daddy.''

Him:'' Hey princess, you are 26 years old my baby, a few girls in this country still wait that long, I'm proud of you and I did UMEMULO for you at 21 years besides that boy has proven himself that he is the right one, he paid lobola so traditionally he is your husband. Hlehle ka babakhe, I'm not mad at you; I'm just surprised I didn't expect to grow up this fast, first you started dating, then you got engaged now you are pregnant, I just feel like I'm losing my baby to the world, but you have nothing to be sorry about, okay?''

me:'' Okay but you will never lose me daddy, I'm always your little girl, okay?''

He chuckled and held me tighter, kissed my forehead.

Him:'' Okay.''

me:'' I love you daddy.''

Him:'' I love you way more baby.''

I felt a tear on my forehead.

me:'' Daddy, are you crying?''

Him:'' No am not?''

Andile:'' Twin, dad move aybo we are alone in mom's move suka hawu.''

Lethu laughed.

Lethu:'' I remember when Andile and asemahle were five years old, asemahle was sitting on dad's lap and Andile tried pushing dad saying '' baba suka u Ase wami lo suka''.
