Uthando olungavumelekanga: Forbidden love

Mbali#39

It has been a week since I've been married to Menzi and so far he has been treating me right ,taking me out on a picnic date to our favourite forest ,it has just been a wonderful week but I haven't stopped thinking about Zingisa people ,I miss him everyday and there's nothing I can do about it ,yesterday I went to Zamahle hoping that I'll see him but I didn't ,I was so disappointed but maybe I should just focus on my marriage ,I mean he's doing the same thing too wherever he is but I hope he's happy but not happier.So I woke up and made breakfast for the Mhlongo's ,they've been treating me well since I am pregnant and I'm happy that they are after what I've done to their son people and Sindiswa visits me here from time to time just to check up on me and one day we went to my sister Lihle's grave ,I was saying my last goodbye so that I can find closure ,I lost a best friend in her people but it's cool ,she's at peace now that's what matters right?Mandisa did come to my wedding and I didn't like that at all but I was cool people and she was kind towards me ,I wonder why or maybe she was rubbing her stealing my sister's boyfriend in my face ,I don't know people but enough about them it's time I focus on myself.
MaMhlongo:Mbali mntanam usuwacabangile amagama wabantwana?(Mbali my child have you thought about the babies' names?)
Menzi:Womntwana ma(A baby's name ma)
Mbali: Wabantwana?(Babies' names?)
MaMhlongo:Ngizizwe kahle ,yebo wabantwana Mbali noMenzi(I heard myself very well ,yes babies' names Mbali and Menzi)
Mbali:(Puzzled face)Ma ngizoba nengane hayi izingane(Ma I'll be having one child not many children)
MaMhlongo:(Giggled)Mbali unesikhathi esingakanani uzithwele?(Mbali how long have you been pregnant?)
Mbali:(Gave her a puzzled face)2 months
MaMhlongo:Umuntu onomzimba omncane njengawe Mbali akabi nesisu esingaka uma ezoba nengane eyodwa sisi ,ngiyacabanga ukuthi uzoba namawele(A person who has a lightweight like you Mbali ,she doesn't have a belly that size when they are two months pregnant if it's just one baby ,I think you'll be having twins)
Mbali:That's ridiculous ,I can't have twins ,I'm having one child ma
Hlelo:I don't think you're having one child Mbali
MaMhlongo:Myekele abe nenkani yakhe uMbali ,asimeleni izinyanga ezisikhombisa(7)(Leave her with her stubbornness ,let's wait till she gives birth)
Mbali:Sure(Smiled)
Do you guys think I'll be having twins?no I can't have twins people ,I can't have two living creatures inside my stomach that will be a constant reminder of Zingisa ,I want to forget about him so bad so I can't have twins.After we ate our breakfast Hlelo washed the dishes ,she has been doing that ever since I got here ,and when I ask her why ,she tells me that I have to rest ,yepp even MaMhlongo does that ,they are treating me as if those are Menzi's kids and I didn't allow Menzi to pay a lobola for the kids too ,I don't want my kids to use a surname that's not theirs people it's wrong and will be complicated if Zingisa wants his kids back in the future ,why am I saying kids?those ain't twins gosh.So I went to my hut and layed on my back then Menzi rubbed my feet.
Menzi:Ukahle s'thandwa sam?(Are you okay my love?)
Mbali:(Sighed)Yeah I guess
Menzi:Kwenzenjani Mbali khuluma nam(What's going on Mbali?talk to me)
Mbali:Angiwafuni amawele mina Menzi(I don't want twins Menzi)
Menzi:(Gave me a puzzled face)But why?
Mbali:I don't know but I don't want to have twins
Menzi:You're just being dramatic my love ,there's nothing wrong with having twins and besides I want us to name them(Smiled)
Mbali:Maybe you're right Menzi ,there's nothing wrong with having twins ,two blessings in one stomach I guess yeyyyyyy(Fake smiled)
Menzi:Kungcono usuyibona ngaleyondlela manje ,asibaphe amagama phela(Atleast you see it that way now ,let's name them)
Mbali:Asazi nokuthi amantombazana noma abafana Menzi(We don't know whether they'll be boys or girls Menzi)
Menzi:Eish(Brushed his head)What if they are girls?
Mbali:Then they are going to be Zamahle and Zinhle(Smiled and brushed my baby bump)
Menzi:(Gave me a puzzled face)Zamahle?akaze ngalizwa igama elinje ,ulithathaphi?(Zamahle?I've never heard that name before ,where did you get it from?)
Mbali:Yebo akaze ulizwe Menzi ngivele ngaza nalo nje angazi kanjani(Yes you've never heard it before Menzi because I just came up with it and I don't know how)
Menzi:You're creative I see ,what if they are boys?(Smiled and winked at me)
Mbali: Mangaliso angazi nobani ,wena ucabanga igama elithini?(Mangaliso ,and who? ,give me a name)
Menzi:Angazi mina s'thandwa sam ,sizobona phambili(I don't have one either my love ,we'll see when they are born)
Mbali:(Smiled)Kulungile(Fine)
Menzi:UMandisa ufuna ukuza ksasa uthi ufuna ukukubona yazi(Mandisa wants to come tomorrow ,she says she wants to see you)
That's strange
Mbali:Ushilo isizathu sokuthi afune ukungibona?(Did she tell you why she wants to see me?)
Menzi:Uvele wathi kumina ufuna ukukubona futhi axolise kuwe nje kphela(She just told me that she wants to see you and apologise for everything that she have done to you only)
Mbali:(Puzzled face)Did she?
Menzi:Ngiyazi s'thandwa sam ukuthi loku kuyamangaza kepha muphe ithuba mhlampe vele ushintshile yazi ,kuyenzeka(I know this is shocking and unbelievable my love but give her a chance maybe she have changed you know ,it's possible)
Mbali:Hayi cha Menzi usisi wakho akaze angithanda nje futhi emuva kwalento ayenze uLihle nje angifuni ukuba wumngani wakhe mina ,nakhona kungobani efuna ukuxolisa manje Kube uxolisile ngomshado wethu njena(No Menzi your sister never liked me and after what she did to my sister Lihle I don't want to be her friend or anything like that ,and besides why does she want to apologize now ,she should've apologised on the day of our wedding)
Menzi:Hayi Mbali uyayibaxa manje hawu ,uMandisa akahlosile obubi hawu futhi akumelanga ukwatele uMandisa kube ukwatela yena uSizwe futhi uLihle noSizwe into yabo beyingacacile nje angazi ukuthi ukhalelani(Okay now you're overreacting Mbali geez ,Mandisa means well by this and you shouldn't be angry at Mandisa but Sizwe and Lihle and Sizwe's relationship wasn't a sure thing so I don't understand what you're fussing over here)
Mbali:Phuma Menzi(Get out Menzi)
Menzi:Hayibo Mbali ,cha boh ,uqale nini ukusaba iqiniso manje wena?(Geez Mbali ,no ,from when you became scared of hearing the truth?)
Mbali:Ngithe phuma Menzi(I said get out Menzi)
Menzi:Mbali s'thandwa sam ngiyakucela hawu (Mbali my love please geez)
Mbali:Uzophuma noma kuphume mina?(If you don't get out then I will)
Menzi:Fine I'll leave but think about what I've just said love(Stood up and stood by the door) Ngiyak'thanda uyezwa?(I love you ,okay?)
Mbali:There's nothing that I will think about here just get out
Menzi:Ngithe ngiyak'thanda Mbali(I said I love you Mbali)
Mbali:I love you too now get out
He just laughed and got out ,arghhhh yes he's right but no it's just so wrong people ,I will feel as if I'm betraying Nolihle but I'll have a talk with Mandisa just to hear what she have to say to me.
