So I went to fetch bathing water for Mbali and some clothes from Zimkhitha's hut ,I hope I get them without her hearing me entering her hut ,I really don't want any questions nor being seen by someone else.So I went to Nthabiseng's hut for water but this lady over here was sitting up straight on the bed and she gave me a death stare that doesn't even turn me on anymore.
Nthabiseng:(Stood up)Zingisa o tswa kae?honeng ke hobatla!(Where have you been Zingisa?I've been looking for you!)
Zingisa:Nditswa phi?hayi marn Nthabiseng andinalo tu ixesha lalento yakho(Searched for the bathing water)khona aphi amanzi okuhlamba?(Where have I been?no man Nthabiseng I don't have time for this*where's the bathing water?)
Nthabi:Zingisa ke bua le wena kere o tswa kae?!(Zingisa I'm talking to you ,I'm asking you that where have you been?!)
Zingisa:Hayi rha wena!yintoni ingxaki yakho kanti?ye?ye?!ndiyakuxelela kakuhle ukuba andifuni kuthetha ngalento wena usandibuza ,andizube ndiphikisana nawe mna andiyotshomi yakho ungakulinge undiqhele kakubi ,ndithi aphi amanzi wena umile notswatswatswa ,anditswi ndawo Nthabiseng qha andifuni ukulala nawe hee madoda indoda ayikufuni namhlanje Nthabi ndifuna ukuba ndodwa Nthabi ,ndiyakucela yhoo!!(No euw!what's your problem actually?huh?huh?!I tell you politely so that I don't want to talk about this but still you're still asking me what I'm avoiding to answer ,I can't be debating with you I'm not your friend so don't get dirty with me ,I'm asking you that where is the bathing water but you're busy asking me my whereabouts ,I'm not coming from a particular place Nthabiseng I just don't want to sleep with you tonight geez the man doesn't want to sleep with you tonight Nthabi I just want to be alone Nthabi ,please yhoo!!)
She had glasses in her eyes and just went silent and just pointed at the bucket with the water.She didn't say anything at all ,she just went to her bed and slept ,I really don't have time to be comforting her people ,I'll apologise tomorrow.
Zingisa:Enkosi Nthabi(Thank you Nthabi)
She didn't respond again so I exited the hut and went to Zimkhitha's hut and I heard voices there ,it was hers and my brother's ,these two are too close these days I'm even jealous because I was close with him now Zimkhitha stole him ,life sucks people but I love seeing them like this ,it warms my heart.But I decided to eavesdrop as it sounded like a deep matter but I got the conversation in the middle
Mkhokeli:Ndiyamthanda Khitha ,andisayithandi le nto yakhe yokuba utshatile ,Khitha utata ndizomphoxa yazi ,ndiyoyika kaloku utata ujonge kum njengoba uZingisa emphoxile ngokuhlukana namakhosikazi wakhe(I love him Khitha ,I don't like the fact that he's married ,Khitha I'll disappoint dad you know ,I'm scared because dad put his faith in me as Zingisa already disappointed him by divorcing his wives)
What is he talking about now?I'm so confused ,how will him loving someone disappoint dad ,eyyy let me knock and get what I'm looking for ,so I did just that and on the third knock Zimkhitha opened the door for me and popped her eyes out like she just saw a ghost ,weird!.
Zingisa:Hayibo utheni ke ngoku wandiqhalela amehlo kho swaye ndingene(Geez why are you acting surprised ,move I want to get inside)
Mkhokeli:(Stood up)Mninawa ,unexesha elingakanani umile apho?(Little brother ,how long have you been standing there?)
Zingisa:Khange ndime ndawo mna ,kutheni ubuza?(I wasn't standing there ,why are you asking me that?)
Mkhokeli just went silent ,he didn't even bother answering ,he was still looking at me as if ......Arghhh I don't know as if what but he's acting strange ,Zimkhitha too is acting strange
Zingisa:Hayibo Mkhokeli ndikubuze umbuzo(Geez Mkhokeli I asked you a question)
Zimkhitha:Hayi akhonto wethu ebebuza nje ubhuti ,akhonto ingako etheni.Khona uzobekwa yintoni apha ebusuku apha ,umshiye nabani uNthabi?(No it's nothing man he was just asking ,nothing much.And why are you here at this time of the day ,who did you leave Nthabi with?)
Zingisa:Bendicela undiboleke iimpahla zakho dade ,ungandibuzi ukuba ndizozenzani ,zisa nje wena qha!(May you please borrow me your clothes sis' ,don't ask me why just bring them here)
They just laughed at me ,paused ,looked at each other again and laughed.
Zimkhitha:Hayibo bhuti!,angeke ndingabuzi mna shame ,uzozenzani iimpahla zam kakade?senditsho ukuba mna nawe asinxibelani!(She laughed again)(Geez bro!,I want to ask shame ,I mean what are you going to do with them?I mean we don't share the same size!)
Zingisa:Mxm!are you going to give me or should I leave?
Zimkhitha:Hayibo ndidlala nawe bhuti yhini ,ufuna ezingaphi?(Geez I'm just joking with you bro geez ,how many?)
Zingisa:Ndiphe umzantsi nomphezulu(Give me a top and the bottom clothing)
Zimkhitha:(Laughed and went straight to where her clothes are packed)Zingisa Hayi uyothusa mntaka mama(Zingisa you keep on surprising me bro)
I didn't respond her I just took the clothes and left them there before I got pissed off.Then I went to my uncle's hut and found Mbali looking so deep into the wall ,I suppose she's deep in her thoughts and even her left leg was shaking and she's also biting her nails ,no I'm getting worried about her ,worst of all she didn't even hear me entering the hut ,so I closed the door and sat next to her ,she was barely blinking ,so I held her shaking leg and brushed it ,then she came back to earth.
Zingisa:Utyiwa yintoni s'thandwa sam?(What's bothering you my love?)
Mbali:mmh?
Zingisa:Mbali u'right?(Mbali are you okay?)
Mbali:Yebo ngiyaphila mina ,zikuphi izinto zokugeza ngigeze ngizolala ke? ,ngikhathele yazi(Yes I'm okay ,where are the toiletries so that I can bath then?I'm so tired you know)
I just looked at her and gave her everything ,I'll ask her about what's going on with her after she's done bathing ,I don't like seeing her like this ,it breaks my heart ,she seems so stressed and drained and that happened immediately when I stepped into her life ,arghhh life isn't fair at this point ,how can I love her and she loves me too but everything we touch turns into sand?
Zingisa:Uzakwazi ukuhlambela phambi kwam okanye ndiphume?(Would you be able to bath infront of me or should I get out?)
Mbali:No it's okay stay ,but don't look at me
She started taking off her clothes and started bathing ,I'm tempted people I even have a boner but I can't fuck her at this state ,she's not okay and besides she's still scared and traumatized ,so baby steps , patience ,she was right ,I shouldn't gaze at her chocolate skin body ,arghhh no man my baby is so sexy ,she's so beautiful I just want to lick her skin and just mmmmh ,I just want to get inside her and make love to her proper this time ,she's just mmmmh.She bathed and stole glances at me
Zingisa:Yintoni Bhabha?(What is it baby?)
Mbali:Lutho s'thandwa (Nothing love)
Zingisa:Angeke kube ngulutho kodwa undijonge ngolohlobo , thetha ke sisi(It can't be nothing meanwhile you are looking at me that way ,so talk lady)
She faked some laughter ,I could tell that it was fake ,she doesn't laugh like this ,Mbali is scared people and I cant even protect her because I'll be protecting her alone ,I mean my family will also disown me after I choose Mbali over my wives.Then she finished bathing and wore Zimkhitha's clothes ,and went straight to bed and closed her eyes ,I then took her water and disposed it outside then I went back to her and slept next to her.
Zingisa: S'thandwa sam?(My love?)
Mbali:Mmmmh?
Zingisa:Kuqhubekani Bhabha? ,thetha nendoda yakho ukuba utyiwa yintoni(What's going on baby?talk to your man about what's bothering you)
Mbali:Ngishilo nje ukuthi lutho ,ayikho into engidlayo mina ngikhathele nje kphela (I told you that it was nothing ,nothing's bothering me I'm just tired that's it)
Zingisa:Mbali andingo thonqo mna ,ndiyakwazi xa udiniwe kwaye ndiyakwazi xa ukhathazekile ,thetha (Mbali I'm not a fool ,I know you when you're tired and I also know you when you're not okay ,so talk)
Mbali:Asilale Zingisa ,ngiyakuthanda(Let's sleep Zingisa ,I love you)
I just came closer to her ,and held her tighter than I expected ,and I kissed her neck
Zingisa:Sukoyika s'thandwa sam ,ndiyakuthanda kwaye ndizakukhusela ,ndizenza isiqinisekiso sokuba ukhuselekile ,ndiyakucela ndivumele ndibe khona ,thetha nam ,yintoni ingxaki?ukuba awufuni ke phofu andizukunyanzela kodwa ndikhona bhabha ,ndizohlala ndikhona(I then kissed her neck again and held her tighter and closed my eyes afterwards)(Don't be scared my love ,I love you and I'll protect you ,I'll make sure that you're protected ,please just let me be there for you ,talk to me ,what's the matter?but if you don't want to talk I won't force you to but I'm here for you baby ,I'll always be here for you*)
Mbali:(She sighed heavily)Ungakhathazeki ngam Zingisa ,ngiphilile mina ngikhathele nje kphela ,angithukanga s'thandwa sam ,ngicela silale sizokhuluma ksasa(Don't be worried about me Zingisa ,I'm okay I'm just tired ,I'm not scared my love ,may we please sleep we'll talk tomorrow)
Zingisa:Xawusitsho ke Mbali kodwa bendikunika isiqinisekiso nje kuphela akhonto ingako bhabha ,masilale nyani(If you say so Mbali but I was just giving you reassurance only nothing much baby ,let's sleep)
She went silent ,I guess she's asleep already so I did so too.I slept.
