MaKhumalo Wami

Chapter 13!

Remoratile

I wake up by 6:00am and I attempt to go to the bathroom, I am really really pressed, I lift his hand from my waist and I put a pillow underneath. I run to the bathroom and I release myself. Since i am already up I take a long shower and lotion up, I wear a robe I found hanging at the back of the door and I open the door and walk carefully to the closet trying to not wake hubby up. I close the door and start looking for a outfit. I settle for the pink skims long-sleeved dress and I tie a pink and white head wrap around my weave I top it off with my white shawl and fluffy slippers. I finish it off with my vanilla scent and I check the time its currently 7:00am

I go downstairs to the kitchen and find Mamazala already awake and looking beautiful in her pink flowy dress, matchy matchy. "Sawubona Ma" I announce my presence. "Makoti wami omuhle! Ulele kanjani" she walks to me and endulges me in a warm and long hug. "Ngilele ka mnandi kanjani! Lena le tsugile yang gompieno?" i ask back"Sivukile! I am glad you slept well. Listen I know this isn't easy on the both of you but one thing you should always trust in is prayer. Rapelela lenyalo la hao le monna wahao please my daughter" those words hit home, the same advise mom gave me and I just see her as a motherly figure right now "Ngizoyenza njalo ma ngiyabonga" I say. "What can I help with ma?" "You can just fetch the cleaning supplies in that little room and I will help you clean the by 8 we will begin with breakfast" "Oh okay" we clean the whole house and empty out bottles and plates and wash the dishes then by 8am we began with breakfast as the two makotis enter the kitchen and offer to help us. One is Palesa who is married to Mthokozisi and the other one is Andiswa who is married to Simosethu. We finish up as more people are now coming downstairs to have breakfast.

I am seated besides Lwa at the dining table which is very long by the way as i am dishing up for him, I hand it to him and then after I dish up for myself. "Uyabona Andiswa that's how wife's should treat their husbands" Simo says pointing at me and Lwa. The room is filled with laughter and Andiswa just gives me the stares yoh drama!

When breakfast is over Musa helps me clear the table she is quite a yappper like me and I am really fond of her must I say. "I kind of hated my brother's ex girlfriend, she never helped ma out with breakfast or even cleaned, she always fed Lwa rabbit food but I can tell with you here my brother is gonna gain weight" Musa says as we wash the dishes. I laugh and tell her the story about the time Lwa called and I heard her in the background and we make small conversations here and there. I really click with her.

When we are done with the dishes Lwa walks in and hugs me from behind "Breakfast was delicious thank you for helping uMa out mama" he says placing trails of wet kisses on my neck "Y.. You..ar.e...welcome"i say stuttering, what is he doing to me? We are disturbed by someone clearing his throat, it is uBaba, Lwa's father. Lwa just continues like his father is not standing in front of him. I free myself from his hold and continue wiping  the counter "Makoti your food was delicious thank you ngane yam" he says with a huge smile dancing on his lips I just nod and giggle lightly . "Son, meet me in the study" sounds serious he walks away. I try to go outside but he pulls me in and kisses my lips briefly and pecks my forehead before going up the stairs.
