Kaboentle.
I park the car in the middle of the garage and I scramble for the stop engine button before I get out. My phone is turnt off because my battery died and I can't even call Stacy, I am worried about her and the baby because she seemed so spooked when Khwezi swung that golf club at us like that that as soon as we reached ground floor level she hopped into the back of her driver's seat and not once has she looked back at us I haven't even bothered to check on Anele because I know that she is okay, I know that but its Stacy who i worried about the most, she's not used to any of this she doesn't know that this is what happens in this family.
As soon as I open the door to the mud room i am enveloped by commotion inside of our home, I am already used to it but today its giving me a sensory over load, I feel over stimulated, I am all over other place emotionally.
Seeing Khwezi like that took me back by first few days in kzn before my wedding, before I met Siya.
Sibonelo is probably here with Mpumi playing one those video games with Lubanzi and I told Siya that these children are not supposed to be playing video games in the middle of the week, if they thought escaping to my house to get away from Aneles strictness, they have another thing coming.
I move to the back of the TV as soon as I get to the TV room and I pull all of the cords and a loud unison moan fills the room and I pull of the cords, all of them untill everything is left dangling behind the TV.
"Go argue with the wall, nobody's playing any video games today unless I see you get home work done."
"But mah-"
Lubanzi protests.
"Don't Mah me, Sibonelo your the oldest your supposed to be showing them the right way to do things not this nonsense !! And you Lubanzi, we spoke about this, I told you no video games until your school work improves."
"Hey love whats going ?"
Siya asks as soon as he walks into the living area and I turn my head to at stare at him ready to bite his head off before I remember that these little pale skins are still in the room.
I point them upstairs and they immediately go that direction while muttering a "sorry mah".
"Love I told them that they could play a game or two, they did well in their rugby match today."
He says as he comes to me and he tries to touch me but I move away from him.
"Siya why don't you ever listen to me ? Why do you insist on going against the rules that I make ? Why should things always be your way ?"
"Entle-"
"You always have to make things difficult."
"Make things difficult ? Entle what are you on about right now what's going on ?"
"Did you Check on Stacy when I asked you too ?"
"I got distracted with a work call, I had to get into a emergency meeting but I did send Siyanda a text...Entle -"
"All you did was send her a text when she could potentially be losing her baby right now ? And all you do is send a text ?"
"Why would Stacy lose the baby ? What happened ?"
"Khwezi threw a golf club at us, she threw shit at us and she kicked us out because of your brother because of your messed up family Siya, she's losing her mind because of what he's done and now Stacy might go into a miscarriage because of all of this the same way I lost a child because of all of this Gumede crap..."
I am crying and I am stood nowhere near Siya who's standing in the middle of the kitchen dumbfounded, baffled.
"Stacy is not going to lose her baby."
