Sibongile:The Christian Girl

Chapter 08

"Ufike ngesikhathi Sibongile "-Gogo says.It seems like a lot has been going on here after I left.
"Uphuma kuphi Sibongile??"-and that is my so called husband asking.
"Awunalo ilungelo lokubuza lokho ngenkathi umithise omunye "-mother in law says with anger laced in her voice.
"Hlala phansi ndodakazi yami"-uBaba uBhengu says.I sit down on the couch next to Aunt Mary silently.
"Njengoba wazi ukuthi umyeni wakho wakhulelisa le ntombazane futhi manje kufanele athathe umthwalo ophelele,akunjalo?"-he continues.
"Kunjalo Baba"-I say.
"Ngakho manje kuzofanele bayokhokha amademeshe emndenini wentombazane futhi bangase bafune ukuthi ayithathe njengomkakhe wesibli"-he says.It hurts so much to think about him taking her as his second wife.

What if he loves her and really takes her as his second wife.I don't want to find myself from a loveless marriage to a polygamy one.After the meeting I received a message from Anathi asking me if I have taken my vitamins.Gosh I even forgot about the pills.I make my way to the kitchen so I can make myself a sandwich.I find the baby mama in the kitchen drinking water. I do what I came here for,after eating my sandwich I make my way out before I heard her call my name.

"Sibongile,you should do yourself a favour and just ask for a divorce."-she says.
"He doesn't love you,I am carrying his first child.He just feels pity for you "-she continues,funny how I am the one carrying his first children.
I walk out heading towards my room without replying to her.It hurts so much.I make my way inside closing the door behind me.I drink my pills laying on the bed with a soft sigh.I hear someone knocking and I tell them to come in.

I smell his cologne before I could open my eyes to see him.
"Can we talk"-he says.
"Mhmm"-I hum.
"I know I haven't been the best husband "-he says.
"I didn't expect you to be one ,I mean I was forced to be your wife.Your were forced to marry me,I knew this would be loveless.But it seems like you have found someone you love so you can divorce me and go our separate ways.I mean you will have a wife that you love not a wife that you use to sleep with and live her for months. She will be lucky to see the lovely side of you"-I say sadly.
"Si....".
"You don't have to explain yourself Sthembiso,I wasn't the one you were looking for.I am not the one you love,and I would rather divorce you than to be in a polygamy marriage."-I say making my way out the room.

No one will find out about my children,not now since they have to sort out Sthembiso's affair.I know he will choose her ,she is beautiful,nice body and she went to school.She has her own business and I don't have anything.

"We will leave tomorrow morning and come back when things are sorted "-his father says.
"Okay we will prepare things for your departure "-my mother in law says.

Tomorrow I will leave this place,I can't be under the same roof the women my husband loves.
