Love, Nozwi.

Wifey duties

"Finally four centuries later..." YV's mom mumbles as she pours them her home made cocktail in the cocktail glasses.

It's a warm afternoon and YV is over to catch up with her mom.

"I know. I know. I have just been swamped up with work and juggling the busy season and wifey duties..."

"Wifey duties?" Her mom repeats before chuckling and YV rolls her eyes.

"And you and mama Vumi... I see y'all been doing the nasty..." She wiggles her eyebrows

Winile chokes on her drink cutting her eyes at her.

"Yeah... Her bra was the first thing I saw on the couch when I came in..."

"That's my bra!" Winile defends.

"Since when are your boobs that big? That size is at least three sizes bigger than yours..."

"Hey! Watch your words. I'm still your mom..."

"Okay. Okay... I'm sorry I mean no disrespect..." YV raises her hands in surrender, smirking as she sips her cocktail.

"And  when are you planning to  tell me the truth about what you have been really up to?" Her mom looks at her.

"What do you mean? But I told you..." YV picks up some finger food from the platter and chooses to stuff her mouth with the food.

Winile simply looks at her and waits for her to chew it all and swallow.

"Yeah I'm waiting..."

"Mom... There's nothing to tell..."

"You know that dress you need for Saturday? I might not be able to finish it by then..."

Yoli raises her eyebrows. "That's unfair..."

"Your choice ke my dear..." Her mom smiles a little and takes some chicken meat from their platter, indulging herself in it.

Yoli sighs.

"So remember that young lady who works with Asi, the one-"

"The one you were obsessed with?" Her mother cuts her and Yoli rolls her eyes.

"Yeah... Whatever. We are kind of close now..." She trails off, not really sure how to tell her what's going on.

Winile looks at her, trying to figure it out... "So you two are friends now?" She looks at her frowning.

"Yeah..."

"Does Asi know?"

"Yeah..."

"Then why didn't you just tell me? Why be so secretive about it?" Winile tries to understand and YV simply shrugs.

Realisation dawns on Winile and she puts her glass on the counter, her mouth forming an o shape.

"Oh my God. You silly racoon!! You are having an affair with her!  Aren't you??" She accuses,  her face evident of shock and horror.

The accusation throws YV off and her jaw drops in surprise at her mother's assumption.

"Yoliswa!! Why??? How could you? Asi will kill you or all of you... How could you do that to them?? They-"

"Mom- I'm not having an affair with her- geez!"

"Then what is it?" Winnie calms  down a bit.

"It's a bit complicated..."

"Look at who you are talking to. I'm the inventor of complications. Look at the situation between me, Vumi, her husband... Your dad... Myself..."

"Yeah mom... It's kind of like you, mama Vumi and her husband but also not like that... Far from it... It's just complicated..." Yoli starts getting emotional.
