Easier

Before

"Mtfombeni, please come. They are looking for blood and the lab currently doesn't have." Lerumo says.
"Thapelo isn't a match, I am but the medication...yes...yes." Lerumo sighs frustrated then he hangs up.
"Take a walk with me please." Lerumo walks with me outside the hospital, I give him a tight hug and he hugs me back.
"Rangwane, they are moving him to high care while we wait for the cross match results, he is stable though and you can see him for 5 minutes."Katlego says.
"Thank you." Lerumo says shaking her hand.
"Go, I will wait out here." He runs inside and I stay with Katlego.
"How do you know Lewatle?"
"I met them before Nkanyiso got married, I conceived the night of his lobola, I found out he got married and I was a dry, we dated for 4 years and he left, while comforting me we had goodbye s. X, I found out I was pregnant at the 4 months and I couldn't abort. He met me at the mall with Lewatle and confronted me about the pregnancy, Nkanyiso was broke then and I was working, he got worried but I told him I wouldn't bother him. My daughter was born and he came a few times to see Atli a few times then he disappeared after Lewatle threatened me.
When his son, the one he had with Rangwane's girlfriend died, he came to me and we slept together, I had not seen him in 4 years, I had a patch on so I didn't think I would fall pregnant, 6 months later I broke my leg and that's how the pregnancy was discovered. Rea was born and I told Lewatle,
Nkanyiso came and threatened me saying I wanted to trap him, so I told him to leave. He sends money via shoprite every now and then but I don't need it.
My kids are healthy, happy and love so I'm okay. I know about all of you because whenever he has stress he comes to me, I don't sleep with him anymore. Though because I have learned, I care about him but I don't see myself with a man who couldn't decide what he wants."
"I understand, let me get inside. Thank you for trusting me."
"Thank you for the clothes, he said he the got money from Rangwane."Katlego.
"I will tell him." I change my shoes in the car and wear slippers. I enter as the hospital as Lerumo walks in, his mother is a match and will be donating the blood. They have changed clothes.
"Magagula." A man in theatre clothes calls.
"Yes." Mr Mags.
"I am doctor Serepo, I am the treating doctor, Mr Magagula is in a critical condition, we stopped his bleeding and the blood transfusion is underway.
I will keep him in high care for the rest of the morning and we will check on him, the stabs missed his major organs, he should make a full recovery. I have him antibiotics, pain medication and his in on oxygen."
"Thank you doctor."Mr Mags.
"I suggest that you go home and come back for our 11am visit, he should be up by then." Serepo.
"Thank you. Can we see him for a few minutes."Mr Mags says.
"Yes, only 2 at a time." Serepo.
"You can go mama, we will wait here." Leruno says.
The parents go to the ward and come back 10 minutes later. Leruno and Lewatle follow, I catch Katlego on the water dispenser.
"Please let me know when you guys come. I want to slip in for 5 minutes with the kids."Katlego.
"I thought children aren't allowed in the ward."
"Our oldest is 12 he can come."Katlego.
I can't remove the shock on my face. I tell her that I will text her, I find Lerumo back and waiting for me.
"Lerumo, if you ever have kids outside our marriage please let me know."
"Cherry yam, you know how busy I get where would I find the time? Besides you would see right through me."Lerumo.
"I don't know, your brother has an almost teenager so yeah."
"I am not him, you know everything about me, well except about the farm. I still need to take you there but that is all, we have properties, a pub, a farm, a baby." He laughs driving into his parents house.
"A baby?"
"Yes love, Lesedi is still a baby unless you want to tell me something?"
"No what?"
He laughs as we enter the house. His parents are sitting in the lounge waiting for us.
"Your son's baby mama is asking for time to visit with the son."Lerumo.
"I don't like this, but the boy did nothing. They can come at 11am." Mr Mags.
"We will let them know. Good night."Lerumo says leading us to his bedroom.
Lesedi is sleeping on the bed, I take off my shoes and clothes. I freshen up then join them in bed. "Are you okay?Leruno asks.
"Yes, when do we go to the house?"
"Tomorrow love, we need to pack. After going to the hospital we will go sleep in Midrand." Lerumo.
"Okay. Sleep."
"I love you." Lerumo.
"I love you most."
I wake up at 5:30am and I take a bath. Then I change into a floral dress and sandals. Then leave the room, I find Mrs Mags drinking tea in the kitchen. I make breakfast and was the dishes that are in the sink.
Dimpho walks in with a head wrap on and jeans. She has puffy eyes. She greets and takes a glass from the cupboard.
"I'm sorry for ruining your wedding."Dimpho.
"It is cool. Mama I am going to take Lesedi home because we are going to the hospital."
"I am guessing this is a veldt."Mrs Mags.
"No mama, I meant her other home."
"It's okay Refilwe, I wouldn't want my child in this chaos as well." Mrs Mags.
"Mama, ohk." I let out a sigh. She is hurting and she will not hear me. I give her food then pack our bags. Lesedi is up, I bath her while Lerumo eats then we drive to Lerumo's house. Listening to Lesedi.
