Me: my sister, you are hungry? you still owe me rent for the 9 months you were inside of me. Armani: mama! Me: no, baby. mommy and Armani need to catch a flight to Cape Town, baby. if we stay here and make food, we're going to be late. we'll grab something at the airport or before we arrive at the airport, okay? Armani: okay. love you, mama. Me: I love you too, my baby. let's go.
My daughter is so used to travelling now because of mommy's work. I have been landing a lot of big deals since the internship in Cape Town. I even became permanent but then an offer came up this side so I had to come this side.
I was offered a permanent here as well but I like the travelling. I am making a whole lot of money from not being permanent.
However, I need to be considerate of Armani. This can't be her childhood. She needs a stable home. Oh, about getting a stable home...
My grandmother has been preaching to me about marriage nonstop. I never hear the end of it. Ever since she found out that I had a baby, it's been like this. I am honestly not ready for the lectures I'll get when I get that side. I have really enjoyed being alone. It's just me and my baby girl, against the world, sailing the seven seas and exploring the world while making a whole lot of money.
I earn close to 200k or maximum, 500k for each gig. I get a lot of gigs per year because of my amazing portfolio. I am really grateful for everything my dad has done for me and the big gigs that he got for me. I'm making millions and making moves because of that man.
Enough about work and money, let me introduce my beautiful daughter, Armani Ntombenhle Khoza. She is the most beautiful being to have ever existed. I love her with my entire being. When it comes to my parenting, I am very present in her life.
Although I am working most of the time, I make all the time I can for my baby. I would do anything to see her smile.

Her aesthetic is mostly based on mine. I think it's cute. I also try my best to keep her away from the media so she is still unknown to the world. I am just protecting her, the popularity might not be good for her. Especially with a multi award winning mother, I'm not bragging or anything but I'm just THAT girl!
Anyway, we are currently landing in Cape Town and I can't wait to get to Camps Bay, I am so tired.
I request a ride and it drops us off at my house in Camps Bay. Yes, I have a house in Camps Bay. I am a 26 year old woman who travels all the time, I should at least have a home where I am travelling to for work all the time.
Armani is sleeping so I just put her down in her room before heading to my bedroom and taking a nap as well. Later on, she comes into my room and joins me in bed. We continue our nap together. One thing about us? We will sleep like we get paid to.
15:00 We get in the bathtub and bath while she tells me a whole lot of stories about her cartoons. I am so used to this. She always has something to tell me about her cartoons.
After bathing, I put her in some warm pajamas before also wearing brown sweatpants and a black hoodie. I also wear some warm slippers, same with her. I have goddess braids so I just let them free and wear a black hair band.
Me: let's go, mama. Armani: go, mama.
I just laugh at her because like I said before, I am used to everything she does now. This is my daily life.
Anyway, we get in my i8 and drive to a nearby mall to get some groceries. I also don't feel like cooking so I'll get us some Nandos.
After doing all the grocery shopping, we head to the car where I place everything in the car before we head back inside to get our food. I order some food and while we are waiting for our order, I pull out my phone and scroll on social media.
After a few minutes, I realise that it's a bit too quiet. I look down to where she was standing and she's not there. I look around me and she's not here. I run around Nando's like a fool and still can't find my baby.
My heart starts beating out of my chest. I can't lose my baby, she's my life.
Me: no, no, no, no, no. this can't be happening.
I get an idea to run to security and ask them to help me. As I'm running to security, I hear a chatting baby girl. I look back and see my daughter.
Armani: mama!
She says pointing at me enthusiastically with ice creams on her nose. I sigh a heavy sigh of relief. Haibo, ice cream?
I look next to her and here stands a gorgeous man with my daughter. But right now, I couldn't be more concerned about him. I almost lost my baby. I bend down to her level.
Me: hey baby, where did you go? mommy was so worried. Armani: mama, Eo gave me ice cream. Me: Eo?
I say looking up at the man holding her hand.
Me: hey, sir. Neo: hey, I'm Neo. I found your daughter crying outside of Woolworths. I though I should just get her some ice cream to calm her down. Me: thank you but I've got it from here? Neo: do you really? Me: do I really what? Neo: do you really got it? Me: yes, I do. she is mine after all.
I take my daughter and look at him.
Me: thank you but like I said before, I've got this. Neo: alright.
I walk away and walk right past Nandos and head to my car. I put this little one in her carseat while I talk to her about stranger danger. I then hear him speak from behind me.
Neo: I think she would have been lost or maybe even kidnapped if I hadn't found her on time. I am not the bad person in this one so please stop making it seem so. also, they are calling for you at Nandos.
Having said that, he walks away while fixing his collar. But as he walks away, a card falls from his chinos.
I low-key feel bad for being so mean to him, I mean he found my daughter and even got her a sugar rush stimulant. I am not too happy about that part but he kept my daughter safe when I failed to and he's a total stranger.
I walk closer to the card he dropped and pick it up. I lock the car and go to Nandos to collect my order. I will call him when I get the chance to and thank him properly for what he did for me, I could never be able to reimburse him for his kindness but I could at least show him that I'm grateful or tell him that I'm grateful. Maybe I'll apologise too.
