Soo I'm engaged....while I'm in another relationship with a man I don't love. Ya neh.

On the other hand Zwide decided to host dinner to reveal our marriage to his friends and honestly I really missed them.

FIKILE: I brought a plus one ,I hope you don't mind.

She said pushing a baby stroller in her hands ...

NALEDI: Oh my gosh! He's so cute.

BOKANG: Looks like his father.
Bokang said coming I for a hug.

FIKILE: You look good babes.

NALEDI: Thank you and I must say ausi ,motherhood looks amazing on you.

FIKILE: Se ho shota wena fela.

If only she knew that I couldn't bare children.

More of Zwides friends came ,Sindy,Max,Nathi, Siya and Jorja.

NATHI: It's good to see you Naledi. Honestly.

NALEDI: Thank you ,it's good to see you guys too.

SINDY: To tell you the truth Dingiswayo has been completely lost without you,especially after his accident.
I felt Zwide tighten his grip on my thigh from under the table.

MAX: Why'd you leave vele.

ZWIDE: This is not an interrogation room.

NALEDI: I left because I felt it was time for me to focus on myself and my family. I get I should've been there for him but it was alot on my shoulders.

FIKILE: I understand babes.  Dingiswayo can be a handful. We all know that.

The rest of the dinner was quite enjoyable actually, Nathi was being his usual comedic self and my fiancé...yes my fiancé was quite laid back tonight.

ZWIDE: I'd like to make an announcement...Naledi and I have decided...

INCOMING CALL FROM MME MARIA:

NALEDI: Sorry I have to take this, ke nkgono wa ka.

I got up and answered the phone.
NALEDI: Nkgono.

MME MARIA: Halala ngwanana!!
She yelled from the other end.

NALEDI: Bathong keng ? Whetsalang?

MME MARIA: Ke le nyalo ntho ena!! Ke a ho lebohela ngwanaka hle.

NALEDI: Bua ore ke lenyalo la mang ...ong lahlile jwale.

MME MARIA: Oa nyalwa Naledi. O sole mosadi kajeno lena. Ebile e re ke ho jwetse Jabu o dumetse chelete eo ,o ko tle hae ngwana re tlo ho nyadisa.

What the fuck is going on? Why would Sphesihle do that? What am I going to tell Zwide?

NALEDI: E re ke tla ho founela nkgono ,ke na le baeti.

ZWIDE : Is everything okay?
Zwide said from behind me giving me a fright.

ZWIDE: Yini Sthandwa Sam?

NALEDI: I.... Sphe paid lobola for me.

ZWIDE: Hmm.

NALEDI: Is that all youre going to say Zwide?

ZWIDE: Tell our guests your grandmother is sick.

NALEDI: What?

ZWIDE: Make them leave Naledi.  Before I make a fucking scene!
He gritted sending shivers down my spine.

I slowly walked to the dining room.

FIKILE: Is everything okay?

NALEDI: Uhmm I just got a call from my grandmother, she's being taken to the hospital so I need to go see her. I'm so sorry to cut dinner short guys.

MAX: No its okay ,we understand .

They said their goodbyes and left. I walked upstairs and found Zwide grab a black duffle bag from his wardrobe.

NALEDI: Going somewhere?

ZWIDE: Yes.

NALEDI: Where?

ZWIDE: To kill that motherfucker.
