Secret Santa

"It's your house my love." Lerumo pecks my Lips and leads me out the door, we stop at
Lesedi's room, she squeals when she sees Lerumo.
"Hello maNgwalane ka daddy." Lerumo picks
Her up and spins her. She laughs out loudly, I Leave them and join the family outside. My older sister's are here with Leago. Lerumo And Lesedi walk out pushing her bike, they ride To the gate and back.
Dumb and dumber arrive an hour later in Nkanyiso's car. Everyone goes silent.
"Good evening." Lewatle greets. We greet and go back to our chat, I keep Checking Lerumo who is playing with the girls
On the swing. Lungi introduces the wives to my Siblings. "Babe, I think we should get matching Sleepwear for the pictures." Lungi.
"Yes, that would look beautiful." Otsile.
"As long as I'm not paying for any of it you all Can do as you please."
"Who do we give the money to?" Mpho.
"It's from the Santa card." Lungi and I laugh.
"Give me your sizes please." Otsile writes, Names and sizes. Lungi nudges me and laughs when Mpho gives Her size. I don't know who invited them because I didn't. Otsile and Karabo dish up and I help them serve The food. "May I have your attention." Lerumo. Lewatle Scoffs, I give him a side eye.
"Thank you all for inviting yourselves. Fifi and I Are happy that the new house needs finger print Verification and a pin code from us before you Enter, which changes hourly." We laugh.
"On a serious note, Zamo even you. I will lock You in because you are in cahoots with these Strangers. "Lerumo.
"How? I thought we were best friends." Zamo Laughs.
"Not anymore. Mr and Mrs Mtolo, I don't know If they've told you this before but you raised an Amazing daughter, I am the luckiest guy on Earth."Lerumo.
"My wife is better. Leago.
"Let me shine Leago, as I was saying. Fifi loves Wholeheartedly and I appreciate that, some Days I doubt that I show her the same energy." Lerumo, I wipe my tears.
"Don't cry, I am done. I am flying legally again, The IAM approved this morning. I will get my Uniform tomorrow. Mama for your prayers, thank you. Okay let's Eat Fifi wants to kill me." Lerumo, we cheer, clap And laugh.
"I am so proud of you son." My father gives Lerumo a hug.
"Finally Fifi will pay for our lunch." Karabo.
"Aneva, big sister's look after little one." We eat and wash the dishes. Karabo and Leago Are the first to leave. Ostile follows with my Parents.
"Will someone send us the location to Refilwe's House or are we using one car?" Lewatle.
"I was about to ask, we need to see where our Things will be taken."Nkanyiso and Lewatle Laugh.
"Nkanyiso if you start trouble, then you will Know me." Mr Magagula.
"We are just playing around." Nkanyiso. I've made up my mind. I am getting Nkanyiso Beat up by Themba's friends. Will see who has The last laugh.
The Magagula's leave after sending the Location. Lerumo walks with his father to the Gate. They are whispering. They hug then mr Magagula gets into the car.
Lerumo and I get into the house and prepare for Bed. Lesedi joins us, she and Lerumo chat while I Text Themba to get people to sort Nkanyiso out For me.
The next morning we wake up and I make Breakfast, Lerumo prepares to go to the stores For his uniform. Lungi texted that I meet her in town to look for Sleepwear. I drive to Pretoria central and park in Sammy Marks square.
"Thank you God you are in flats. We are not Leaving here until we find the clothes." Lungi Greets me.
"I'm not that bad." I laugh. Lungi makes us walk from one shop to the next.
We find ourselves in Sunnypark. We found slippers but not matching Pj's. She Ubers us to bloed mall after the store confirmed That they had sizes.
I am hungry and annoyed by the walking, Lungi Is in her zone. She should become a runner Because clearly shopping is her forte.
We finally get the satin short pants and bonnets That she wanted.
"We need to go to Atteridgeville to get these Embroidered." Lungi.
"No ways, I miss my man and I'm hungry." I Complain.
"Cry all you want, oksalayo, you are driving us."
We buy pies and get an Uber to my car. "I'm buying you a license, ngeke Lungi."
I complain as I park infront of the embroidery House. We get out of the car, the lady greets us And tells us that we can wait if we are not in a Hurry, I refuse.
Lungi convinces me that we can go buy food And see my parents.
We pass by Essence foods and collect our food Order. Otsile is at home.
"Mama, I found you a shopping buddy." I greet.
"How are you Fifi, where is Lerumo?"My Mother.
"At work I think, I left home at 7 imagine."
"Stop crying." Lungi says while dishing up, Otsile laughs at my misery. I soak my feet in a Dish and I eat.
"Fifi, so we are not inviting Kayise?" Otsile.
"No, only people I can rely on. When we give Mama the wedding she wants we will invite Acquaintances, I forgave her but she can never Be my friend like before. They invited Lerumo to soccer tomorrow. I am Dropping him off, they will being him home."
"I totally understand what you mean. The Reason Mpho and I aren't close is that. I trusted Her with my secret and she told Thapelo, I can never trust her. I forgave her but nope to Being friends. "Lungi.
"People like that shem are dangerous."
"I hear you. She called me after she met mama And asked me to talk to you."Otsile.
"She asked Lerumo the same thing, but how do I want her to be happy with me and not when I'm sad?"
"We are good as we are."
"Alight enough sadness, who invited your best Friend's?" Lungi laughs.
"Please ma'am I don't know those people. Imagine Dimpho saying I want her man, that Man who is comfortable fighting with his little Brother who is 9 years younger,
While getting an allowance. And having an Affair with a whole human as a result? I would Cry for the rest of my life." We laugh.
"Hai babes, my man also gets an allowance." Lungi laughs.
"I need to collect Lerumo's share. But on a Serious note they can come see my parents Shack. As dumb and dumber said."
We leave my house at 6pm to go collect the Pj's. I drop Lungi at the taxi rank, after I Transferred Uber money to her account.
"You have money to play, drop me off at the Rank." She laughs. I dropped her of at the rank Then I drove to the house.

Kganya.
