Uthando olungavumelekanga: Forbidden love

Mbali#33

It's been a month since Zingisa has been visiting me in this house ,I've only been lonely sometimes but only at night ,sometimes he spends the night here and he told me that soon we'll get married but his father needs a little push about this whole thing but I don't know what's going on with his wives ,he's going to tell his father today about me and him getting married I think.And I'm gaining a lot of weight and it turned out that I'm pregnant but I don't want to tell Zingisa yet , he'll get too excited about this and delay telling his family about us and I don't want that ,but he has been seeing me gaining weight but he thinks it's happiness but to be honest with you guys I'm not happy at all ,I just want to be a Radebe now and try to make some peace between me and my father and tell him about my baby but I'll do that after I gave birth ,I don't want to be over excited about me being pregnant people and I had sex with Zingisa once and got pregnant there ,I mean the symptoms that I had last month are so obvious but we always have sex ,every night when he spends his nights here ,sometimes in the morning ,people I've become an addict but I don't care about none of that ,and Mangaliso has been visiting my dreams every now and then ,I miss him people and I miss Lihle and Sindiswa and I've heard last month that she gave birth to a baby girl ,I just want to see the baby but I'm not safe out there and surely they think that I'm long dead ,to them I've been missing ever since.When Zingisa told me about Owam ,I was just wondering how she looks like ,my baby over here has a girl cousin and I wonder how is Lihle and Sizwe going since Mandisa was wanting Sizwe for her ,DRAMA!!and well ,my handsome man has arrived and I've just finished preparing lunch.
Mbali:Good timing baby(Smiled)
He peck kissed me and hugged me and he then smiled at me
Zingisa:Uphekile s'thandwa sam(You cooked my love)
Mbali:Yebo ,hlala phantsi ngizokunika ukudla(Yes ,take a sit and I'll bring you your food)
Zingisa:Hayi oko umile s'thandwa sam ,ndizakuphaka mna ,wena hlala phantsi unabe(No you've been on your feet for a while my love ,I'll dish up ,just take a sit and relax)
I just smiled ,I love this gent over here ,he's so romantic and caring and yes I need to relax people ,I'm tired ,he's going to be a good father plus he have no children ,I'll bear him his first heir ,a future king.So he dished up for me and himself and took a sit too ,then we started eating.He then paused and stared at me for a while ,okay now I'm uncomfortable
Mbali:Hayibo Zingisa ,yini?!(Geez Zingisa ,what is it?!)
Zingisa:Hayi s'thandwa sam ,anditsho kakubi uyeva?kodwa utyeba kakhulu ngoku kwaye utyeba kakubi ,kodwa umhle wena bhabha ,umhle Kakhulu kodwa yhuu hayi sana undixakile ngoku ,yintoni le engaka oyityayo  nam ndizoyitya ndibe sis'tufuza ndifohlozele nam ,umithi Mbali?(No my love ,don't get me wrong ,okay?but you're gaining a lot of weight now and you're gaining weight badly so ,but you're beautiful my baby ,you're too beautiful but no girl I don't understand what's happening with you ,what is it that you're eating that makes you to be fat so that I can start eating it too ,Mbali are you pregnant?)
Mbali:(Choked on my food)Hayibo Zingisa ,cha angimithanga hawu ,angazi kwenzakalani ngam kulezintsuku nje ,kodwa uma uthi ngimuhle ngiyabonga s'thandwa sam(Geez Zingisa ,no I'm not pregnant geez ,I just don't understand what's happening with me nowadays but thanks for the compliment my love)
Zingisa: Unesiqinisekiso Mbali?(Are you sure Mbali?)
Omg he's suspicious ,I have to change the subject ,I just want to surprise his family about this
Mbali:Uzobatshela nini ekini ngam nawe nokuthi sekufike iskhathi sokuthi sishade?(When are you going to tell your family about us and that we need to get married soon?)
Zingisa:Ndizobaxelela namhlanje xasizotya isophoro s'thandwa sam ,ksasa ndibe sendikulanda apha ,kakade ubuyicaphukela le ndawo Mbali (I'll tell them tonight when we are about to eat supper my love so that I can come to get you tomorrow you never liked this place by the way Mbali)
Mbali:(Laughed at that)Ngiyazi s'thandwa sam kepha yikhaya lam leli ,ikhaya lethu ,kwamele nje ngezinye izintsuku sizolala lana Zingisa ,ngiyayithanda lendlu.Ngiyathokoza njengoba uzobatshela abakini ngathi namhlanje ,sesiside iskhathi phela(I know my love but this is my home now ,it's our home ,we just need to come spend some nights here Zingisa ,I love this house.I'm glad that you're going to tell your family about us tonight ,it's been a while)
Zingisa:Unyanisile ,ukuba usafuna size apha singeza kwaye le ndawo indisondeza kumama yazi kwaye ikhona into endifuna ukukuxelela yona s'thandwa sam(You're right ,if you want us to come here more often then that's okay by me plus this place makes me feel closer to my mother and there's something I want to tell you my love)
Mbali:Mayela?(About?)
Zingisa:Andizukwazi ukukuxelela ukuba imayelana nantoni na Mbali(I can't tell you what is it about Mbali)
Mbali:Hayibo s'thandwa sam ,ngitshele ke(Geez my love ,tell me then)
Zingisa:(Cleared his throat)Andizukwazi ukukuxelela ngoku okanye namhlanje(I can't tell you now nor today)
Mbali:Uzongitshela nini ke?(When are you going to tell me then?)
Zingisa:Xasigqiba ukutshata s'thandwa sam ,ndiyakuthembisa(When we are married my love ,I promise you)
I just smiled at him and he did so too but his mood has changed ,he seems scared ,I can't really read his facial expression
Mbali:Ukahle s'thandwa sam?(Are you okay my love?)
Zingisa:Ewe....e...we bhabha(Yes.....y...es baby)
Mbali:Okay? Amakhosikazi wakho uzobatshela nini bona ngathi?(When are you going to tell your wives about this then?)

Mbali:Uthandwa yim Zikode(I love you too Zikode)
He then kissed me passionately and we hugged ,I love this man people ,he is HOME.
We spent the day talking and laughing ,washed the dishes and he helped me with hunting what I am going to eat for dinner and we went to my 3rd favourite forest and we picked some apples and sat under the tree.
Mbali:Uyakhumbula sinika lelahlathi igama?(Do you remember when we gave that forest a name?)
Zingisa:IZamahle?(The Zamahle?)
I giggled
Mbali:Yebo ,naleli asiliphe igama(Yes ,let's give this one too)
Zingisa:Ewe ne?sizathi ngubani?(Right?what will it's name be then?)
Mbali:Angazi yazi ,kodwa iZamahle alikho right ,phela uAmahle aksi yim(I don't know heyy ,but Zamahle is not it ,remember I'm not Amahle)
Zingisa:(Laughed)Ndiyazi kodwa ndiyalithanda mna elagama kwaye lilungile ,masingalitshintshi s'thandwa sam ,ndiyakucela(I know but I love this name and that name is perfect ,let's not change it my love ,please)
Mbali:(Rolled my eyes)Fine ,let's name this forest then
Zingisa:(Laughed)Zakuyeka ukuxoka ngamagama wabantu abaswelekileyo Entle(You'll stop stealing dead people's identities Entle)
Mbali:Entle?
Zingisa:Ayogama lakho kanti elo?(Isn't it your name?)
Mbali:A person who called me by this name was my brother only (I then looked down)
Zingisa:Uxolo s'thandwa sam bendingazi ,ndingalitshintsha(I'm so sorry my love I didn't know ,I can change it)
Mbali:Cha ,ngiyalithanda mina(No I love it)
Zingisa:(Gave me a pale smile)Ndiyavuya(I'm delighted)
Why would he give me a pale smile?suspicious!
Mbali:Igama phela!(The name?!)
Zingisa:Sizathi ngu Zintle(We'll say it's Zintle)
Mbali:You suck at doing this you know ,lets call it ,uhm.....uhmmmm......Zimbali
Zingisa:(Laughed)Uyagula yazi ,Zimbali?noZintle ungcono apha(You're crazy you know ,Zimbali?Zintle is better than this name)
Mbali:UZintle yigama lomuntu Zingisa phela!(Zintle is a person's name Zingisa!)
Zingisa:Kengoku?(So what?)
Mbali:Angazi kepha yigama lomuntu leli ,angifuni sidelele abantu mina(I don't know but it's someone's name ,I don't want us to disrespect people's names)
Zingisa:(Laughed so hard)Yhoo Mbali yima ,kutheni undihlekisa ngoluhlobo!ngubani uZintle omaziyo wena?(Geez Mbali wait ,why are you making me laugh like this!do you know any Zintle?)
Mbali: Ungahleki Zingisa hawu(Laughed as well)angazani naZintle mina kepha yigama lomuntu(Don't laugh Zingisa geez*I don't know any Zintle but this is a person's name)
Zingisa:(Laughed)Yhoo hayi undohlule ,li right eligama kuno Zimbali!(Geez no you're crazy ,this name is perfect than Zimbali!)
Mbali:How about Mbangisa?(Gave him a weird smile)
Zingisa:(Laughed so hard)That's even worse than Zimbali Mbali ,this forest is going to be Zintle ,end of discussion
Mbali:(Laughed)Fine geez!!
Zingisa:Usafuna ukuzama?(Do you still want to try?)
Mbali:Cha angisho wena awuwathandi(No you don't even like the names that I come up with)
Zingisa:Andiwathandi kakade ,ndithanda umntu oza nawo mna(Of course I don't like them ,I love the person who come up with them)
Mbali:(Blushed)Loyo muntu ke yena akakuthandi(Well that person doesn't love you back)
Zingisa:Hayibo nyani?(Ohhh really?)
Mbali:(Stole a glance at him)Yes
Zingisa:Umxelele lomntu loyo ukuba ndithi angandenzi lo nto ekubeni ndingamfela nokumfela kaloku uyintyantyambo yam lomntu(Tell that person that I said she mustn't do me like that meanwhile I can even die for her because she's my flower)
Mbali:(I smiled)If you really love her why don't you kiss her?
Zingisa:(Smirked)I don't want to offend this flowery princess because she doesn't love me back
Mbali:(Smirked)What if she was lying?
Zingisa:(Smirked)Even if she did lie ,why can't she say that she's lying?
Mbali:(Smirked)She's a shy princess I think
Zingisa:(Smirked)That's why I fell for her
He then kissed me passionately and stopped the kiss.He helped me to stand up plus it was getting late
Zingisa:Kuhlwile ngoku ,kufuneka ndigodukile(It's getting late now ,I have to go)
Mbali:Yebo ,ngise endlini kqala bese uzohamba(You're right ,but firstly get me home then you can leave)
He nodded and we walked to my house and I hugged him so tight
Zingisa:What was that for?
Mbali:Be safe baby ,I love you
Zingisa:(Kissed my forehead)Uthandwa ndim Gatsheni ,sendimkile(I love you too Gatsheni ,I'm leaving now)
He then left me there and I prayed for him ,I always pray for him when he's about to go so that he can be safe ,there are so many wild animals in this place but he always carries a spear with him and he knows how to use it.I then brushed my tummy ,even though the baby bump isn't there yet
Mbali:You're the one who's going to bring peace baby ,mommy can't wait to meet you and daddy is about to know about you soon ,mommy loves you already and I'm going to protect you ,I hope you are a boy but even if you're a girl I don't care ,as long as you're mine then I'm sorted.
After that I prepared supper and ate.I no longer regret my decisions ,this is fate ,it was bound to happen and now I'm going to get married to this man that I love dearly ,I'm thinking of some baby names but I want to do that with Zingisa but our baby will be Zamahle or Zintle but if he's a boy ,Zingisa will be the one who gives him a name people ,I don't know any boy names but his first name will be Mangaliso people.After this ,I then slept.
