blinded from love

Chapter 71

[Kgosi pov]

The pain I am feeling at this moment can never be measured. Phumzile is in the OR whiles KG is looking for Angelina as she ran from the house after she stabbed Phumi. I sat with my head in between my arms, as Phumi's words rang in my head.

"I love you..." She whispered as she closed her eyes. I felt like those were the last words I would ever hear from her. All my plans had gone down the drain. Our happiest day turn into pure horror and torment. All because of one person...

Khumo:" Kgosi..." She whispered pulling me out from my thoughts.

Khumo:" I... I am so... so sorry. Had I not moved Phumi would still be okay and the baby too... I'm just so sorry..." She said sobbing in-between. I pulled her to sit next to me and comforted her. Me and Khumo may have started rocky, but we put aside our differences and now have a brother, sister relationship, so of course I felt bad see her like this.

Me:" It isn't your fault. It's the person who tried to stab your fault, all you did was to move out of her way so you would get hurt, so stop blaming yourself, okay? Plus have you forgotten how strong your sister is, with her overprotective mood I'm sure she's fighting right now for herself and our child. All we can do is pray for God to be with her and give her the strength to fight. Hush now okay, Jabu get her some water." I said trying to calm Khumo down, but ended up moving so Jabu could replace me. I went outside for a smoke which I haven't done in a long time. Inside there is P's parents, my dad, my grandparents, Lerato, Jabu, Lydia, Rori and Lesego. Mapula and Kagiso stayed behind.

Dad:" Smoking is bad for you son." He said taking my cigarette and placing it on his lips.

Me:" Old age and cigarettes don't mix dad..."
He chuckled.

Dad:" Voetek..." He said finishing up the cigarette.

Me:" Dad, there somethings you need to know about mother." I am standing straight looking at my father.

Dad:" I know son... I knew before you that you aren't my son, and don't even diver your stress onto another. Feel the pain now rather than later, okay? Let it go." He said getting closer to as tears rolled down my face. I quickly wiped them, but just for more tears to roll down again.

My dad hugged and told me to be strong. We hugged for a while until Jabu cleared his throat. He looked paler than the time we left him.

Me:" Jabu what happened? Is it the doctor?" I asked in panicking. He nodded and just looked down as tears dropped from his face down to the floor.

Then sudden it started to rain, and not just rain, it started pouring outside, but lucky we weren't drenched.

Me:" Jabu answer me what did the doctor say?!" I shouted out of anxiety from his answer.

Jabu:" Phumi w-w-was... pregnant... w-w-with twins. Th... they said they were hiding each, but... but..." He stopped and looked down crying.

Jabu:" one of them dead by the bottle as it stabbed its heart. The other baby was holding on by a thread but... it dead as Phumi lost a lot of blood..." He said sitting on the cold floor.

I felt myself loosing balance and held the wall. My babies, my seeds, dead because of me. I failed to protect them. I failed Phumz- wait he lost a lot of blood.

Me:" Jabu, what about Phumzile? What... what did the doctor say about her?" I asked almost afraid of the answer I would receive.

Jabu:" He said that... that... that she lost a lot of blood they tried to stop her bleeding but... but." He stopped and cried hard.

Jabu:" We might lose her cause her body went into shock during the operation causing it to bleed a lot internally..."

As soon as he said that I felt my chest close up. I couldn't breathe and everything around me became blurry.
