Yibanathi

So a few days ago when Cebo and his mom went out and locked me inside the house. I heard a knock on the door.

I decided to look through the curtain and I saw that it was Amile. I kept quiet because I was instructed to not show any signs that there is someone in the house.

I remained silent throughout the persistent knocking and I then heard heels clicking around the house near the window.

"Cebo you have to listen to me, I am sorry okay!" She said loudly but kept quiet when she saw the gate being open. Her voice was filled with sadness if I can call it that. After the gates were open and the car drove in, I took that as an opportunity to run upstairs to my room and pretend to be fast asleep this time I made sure the door was fully closed.

"Oh Cebo babe I didn't know you were not here!"

I hear Amile shouting. Clearly she is now inside the house seeing that the shouting is now louder.

"Umsindo Amile!"
[Umsindo~ Noise]

Mrs Ndamase shouts and it soundslike she is close like she is in the passage walking towards my room.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Eyes closed.

Normal breathing as though you are in lala land.

I tell myself to get ready incase she comes to my room. Just as I guessed the door knob turns and I close my eyes shut.

"Yibanathi dear."

Cebo's mother says to me while entering the room and I do not respond or move. I just remain in the same position that I was in.

"Oh you are still sleeping ncoah shame."

She says and she stands up and leaves the room and she closes the door. I wake up and sit on my bum instantly. This whole thing is wrong honestly. I am given a room yet no privacy. Everyone comes and opens my bedroom door as they please and enters before I even say come in. What if I am naked. I am now on house arrest. I have no access to a cellphone. I do not know what is going on outside of this house.

I don't even know if my grandmother, Avuyile I mean is looking for me. She lost the grandma title the day she tried to abort my baby along with that MaNgubo witch. I curse the day I had sexual intercourse with Sfundo. We were always safe except for the one time it was a quickie.

It is the very same quickie on the couch which lead to me being in this situation.

Cebo has been running after me in this house. I haven't told him about the pregnancy because there is no need it's not like we are dating or what but we have been kissing casually here and there. I am sure his mother told him the truth about why I am here of which is why I should not get carried away and be entertaining the likes of Cebo the player/ the boy who hides behind mommy.

Cebo has been running around asking me to help him clean after all his dad is coming back in a few days and apparently he is a fussy man who expects the whole place clean.

I wish I knew who my father is perhaps he would take me in and treat me like a princess. I grew up not knowing a father's love and sadly it seems like the baby that I am carrying will go through the same thing of which I never wished for. I thought that when I have a baby it will not experience growing up without a father.

The baby?

Do I even know if it is still alive or I am just sitting in this house with a dead baby in my stomach.

I mean it could be possible. I have read ablut women who don't go for check ups and they end up with complications during child birth that is even if they get there.

Is there even a baby??

I mean a home pregnancy test needs a follow up from a professional just to verify the accuracy of the test. I only got diagnosed by the pensioners, the old women behind the reading glasses.

My life is just something even I the one who is living it does not know what is really know what is happening.

Well two days before Mr Ndamase comes back and I get to meet the guy.
