MaKhumalo Wami

Chapter 14!

Lwandle

"Come in" I hear from the other side of the door. I enter and I see my father seated on his throne. "Mtungwa" I greet. "Yebo ndodana unga hlala phansi" I take a seat."You asked to see me" "Yes well ndodana I am getting old now and it's your mother's wish that I'd step down from our side business as the Don." to say I am shocked is an understatement "Since Mtho and Simo want nothing to do with the business I have to ask you to take over." "Wow. I mean I will think about it" there is a plethora to think about. How will Remoratile feel about this? What if one day we decide to start a family, that will put all of us in danger, this business is all about power so my involvement could lead to putting greater risk on people I love
Yes this is what I wanted before I met Remo but now that she is part of my life what am I going to do. "Okay but please get back to me as soon as possible" with that I stand up and exit the room.

I go to my room, take my car keys and drive to one of my construction sites. I enter my office and I pile myself with work to keep my mind off things. I didn't even realise how late it is until my P.A walks in "Sir it's currently 7pm I am knocking off" she says "Oh okay I am right behind you." I pack up all my things, I take my car keys and leave.

Remoratile

I was getting ready for bed until I hear the door click open. Hebanna where was he the whole day? I just continue with whatever I was doing and he walks to the bathroom and closes the door. Yoh okay! Thula Thula FM keh sana not even a hello nyana. Well I guess he was just never into me. I take off my robe and I climb to bed. I hear the shower turn on, I guess he is showering another lady's perfume off him. I don't know if it makes sense but I feel used. I was forced into this marriage and now he dissapears all day and comes back at night and doesn't even greet me or spare me a glance. But he looks really tired so I guess he went to work.

He opens the door and I shut my eyes and pretend I am sleeping. He walks to bed and gets in. "MaKhumalo I know you are not asleep can we please talk?" I turn to face him and I just snap "Ele gore ne ole kae letsatsi lothle, I sent you multiple of texts what's going on Lwandle where were you?you didn't even show up for dinner nor lunch" "I can explain, after the little meeting with dad i had alot to think about so I thought keeping myself busy would help reduce the stress" "Who were you with" i ask unintentionally "Haa Remo why would you think I was with someone?" "Because ne o tsamaile letsatsi lothle not even a text, ge o boya not even a hello you just go straight to the shower what am I supposed to think? Huh bua! " " Bheka ngiyazi ukuthi ukwatile but please get rid of those thoughts I wasn't with anyone I was at the office I swear nana"he says 'nana' emang pele batho ba Modimo. "Okay Lwa" I say I believe him though. "Unga phindi ukhuluma nami kanjalo yezwa?" he says sternly and I can feel my panties become moist at that tone. "Yebo baba" I say and he chuckles. "Aren't you hungry?" I ask him "I am but I wanted to speak to you before you went to sleep" "Let's go I will make you some food" I say and I get up and put on my robe on and he does the same and we walk downstairs.

I take out his food from the fridge and warm it up for him. Mamazala made phuthu because nna I can't and I made chicken stew. I hand him the plate and he digs in, I pour him orange juice and I just eat strawberries, trying to make a conversation with him. "So what kind of work do you do that keeps you busy the whole day?" he licks his hands "Well i am a businessman I own construction sites, hotels, clubs, and all that" "Oh I see any malls you've built before?" "It's an undergoing project, what about you what do you do? " "Well I graduated and this year I was supposed to start with work and accomplish my articles" "What did you study?" "Law, its always been a passion of mine" "Ohh I see thats why you are so feisty" I laugh. "I am not feisty I just have a tendancy of demanding answers thats all."

The conversation goes on for about an hour or so before Musa comes down. "Bhuthi unjani, I haven't seen you all day." she says so Lwa. "Yea work has been hectic but ngiright" "Okay sis Remo ngicela ama strawberry" i hand her the packet of strawberries and we have a light conversation. I think I like this little life.
