Bandile went to his in laws house to see Amahle and confront her, his voice trembling with emotion. "You've been avoiding me,Amahle. Not taking my calls, not answering my texts".
"Awungitshelanga ngani Amahle? Why did you keep this from me?"
Amahle's heart raced as she tried to stay calm. "Ukhuluma ngani, Bandile?"
"Don't play dumb with me," Bandile sneered. "ngiyazi nge miscarriage, I know you lost our child."
Amahle's eyes blazed with fury. "Uwena! uwena isizathu sokuthi ngilahlekelwe ingane yam Bandile! Ushintshe amaphilisi angisho, akunjalo? You wanted to get rid of the baby!"

Bandile's face fell, his eyes wide with shock. "Amahle,cha...bengingaqondile... I was trying to protect us..."
Amahle's voice rose, her anger and grief boiling over. "Protect us? Ubiza ukubulala ukuvikela ingane yam? You're a monster,Bandile! Futhi angisoze ngakuxolela ngalokhu okwenzile!"
The room seemed to shake with the force of Amahle's rage, her words hanging in the air like a challenge. Bandile's eyes dropped, his shoulders slumping in defeat, as he realized the full weight of his mistakes.
Amahle's fury was unrelenting, her words piercing Bandile's soul like a sword. "You took away our child's life Bandile! Ungiphuce ithuba lokuba ngumama! Ungumbulali, futhi I'll never let you forget it!"
Bandile's face contorted in anguish, his eyes streaming with tears. "Amahle, ngiyakucela...bengingaqondile ukukuzwisa ubuhlungu...I was trying to protect our future..."
Amahle's laughter was bitter and cold. "Our future? You've destroyed our future, Bandile! You've destroyed our love, our family, everything! And now, you're standing here, expecting me to forgive you?"
Bandile's voice was barely audible, his body shaking with sobs. "I know I don't deserve forgiveness, Amahle...but please, please try to understand...I was lost, I was scared...I didn't know what else to do..."
Amahle's gaze was unforgiving, her eyes blazing with a fire that seemed to burn Bandile's very soul. "You should have thought of that before you switched my pills, Bandile. You should have thought of me, of our child, of our love. But now, it's too late. You've made your choice, and I've made mine. I'll never love you again, Bandile. Never."

The silence that followed was deafening, a chasm that yawned between them, impossible to bridge. Bandile's eyes dropped, his shoulders slumping in defeat, as he realized the full weight of his mistakes. He knew he had lost Amahle, lost their love, lost their future. And he knew he would spend the rest of his life trying to make amends, trying to earn back the trust he had shattered. But deep down, he knew it was a futile effort. Some wounds could never be healed.
