"Entle, hlala phansi sikhulume sisi" Ma'Lwethu taps the seat besides her and everyone starts to slowly leave the room. I hesitantly sit down and I can literally smell her anger.

"I'm struggling to understand this, I just need you to clear up the air for me... The boy that your 'in love with' is my son?" She frowns. "Yes" I clear my throat. She chuckles to herself.

"Minentle, do you see me? Do I look like I can be someone's grandmother to you? Why do you and Samkelo want to kill me?" She clenches her fists. "I-I didn't know that Samkelo was your son. I'm sorry" I lowly say. "Don't apologise, it's not your fault." I keep my gaze on my lap.

"Minentle" She calls out. "Mah?" I look up. "Don't dwell too much on it. I'm not angry at you. But we need to keep this whole thing under wraps for now" She states and I nod in response. She gets up from the couch, walking towards Ona's room, that's where the triplets are.

I notice that Tata left since his car isn't in the driveway anymore. He's definately angry and I'm praying he doesn't do anything stupid. I sigh walking into my room. I find Samkelo seated on my bed Liyema in his arms.

I softly smile, sitting next to him. Liyema reaches for me and I take him, securing him in my arms. His lower lip quivers and his nose starts twitching. He starts thrashing around, clinging onto my arm.

I briefly pull down my shirt and he latches onto my boob, looking up at me with those big eyes of his. I smile, caressing his cheek. I turn to face Samkelo. "Ke eng?" I shrug when he stares at me. "Mhm?" He snaps out of his daze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I rephrase. "Ngoba ngiyakuthanda" He pecks my lips twice. I shake my head at him and look away from him, biting my lower lip to stop the smile on my face from coming out. "Look at me"

"Mhmmhm" I shake my head no and look down at Liyema. "I wasn't asking you" He grumpily says. "Can you please burp him?" I hand him Liyema without waiting for his answer. I fix my shirt and walk into my closet, picking out clothes for them.

I take a shower and walk back in to find  Samkelo sleeping on my bed with. Liyakhanya on his chest while Luzuko and Liyema play around him. I quickly pick the both of them before they can fall. I place his arm around Liyakhanya to secure her before I give these two a bath and do the same with her.

I place them all in their cots and head to Samkelo. I shake him and he turns in the other direction. "Samkelo" I lightly tap his face. "Mhm?" He rasps out. "Go take a shower" He groans getting up and walking to the bathroom. I walk out of the room in search for Ona.

"Mosadi, I'll be back. I just need a drink, a really strong drink." She's putting on her shoes. "Ohkay, stay safe, please" She nods before giving me a hug. "You know the drill" She points out.

''Call the police when you aren't back in two days?" She nods and grabs her purse before walking out. I lock the door behind her and head back into my room. I find him all sprawled out on my bed, only dressed in a pair of sweatpants, I switch off the lights.

I push him to the side and get in, facing the other direction. He wraps his arm around me. "Goodnight. Ngiyakuthanda yezwa?" He mumbles into my ear. "Le nna kea go rata" I say back and he pecks my cheek. I close my eyes with a smile engraved on my face, letting sleep take over me.

"Ufunani la wena?!" I hear Ma'Lwethu's voice shout from a distance. "What are YOU doing here? You seem to forget that my daughter lives here." Tata claps back. I groan, turning around, covering my ears.

"Yeyi wena! I left my son here, don't start with me. Watch your tone when you're speaking with me. I'm the reason you're alive. Nxn" She threatens. "Samkelo" I groan, shaking him. "I thought I told you to tell your son to stay away from my daughter"

"It's all in your head. They're not here" He's trying to gaslight me. "They're making noise" I huff and he sighs. "I know." - "You and that criminal husband of yours are going to rot in the deepest pits of hell"

"You're acting as if you're a saint knowing very well that we're going to be neighbours in hell... Ngizokudubula ufe same time. Awungazi wena... Mxm."

"Samkelo" I urge him. "They'll leave" He dismisses them and turns around, burying his head in my neck, falling back asleep. "You and Dineo are the same" Tata points out.

"Mina? Ngifana no Dineo? Haibo, you must be mistaken. Angiyena umfazi wakho mina" She laughs. "Aren't I glad you aren't" Tata sighs. "Kudala ungifuna wena! Why uqamba amanga?" She mocks. My eyes snap open. "Yini?" Samkelo asks.

"That was a long time ago, I've changed" Tata clears his throat. "That's not what I've been hearing from your wife. She still thinks you're cheating on her with someone named Buhlebendalo since it's the only name you seem to moan when fucking her, angisho?" My jaw drops.

"Do you hear that?" I mouth to him and he nods, not giving a care in the world. "Olwethu" Tata says lowly. "So it's true? You want to die neh? You're tired of living... I can arrange for you to leave this earth as soon as possible. I'm just saying"

"What do you want?" Tata asks, sounding pissed. "For you to stop interfering with Minentle's personal affairs, that child is old enough to make her own decisions" I raise my eyebrows, suprised. "Over my dead body, that is my daughter we're talking about"

"Do you want me to let Melokuhle know that you've been moaning his wife's name whilst you've been fucking your own?"
