55.) Wrong move.

Onalerona's POV

"A mission?" I ask and he sighs and nods. "I have no choice sthandwa sami I need to do this for our family." answers Nkosikhona and I scoff chuckle. "Who are you leaving me here for Nkosikhona Mthembu?" "You'll be alone but its just for one week." "Why you doing this to me? The last time your one week turned into a month."

"It won't be like that here. Its just a quick in and out then I will be back." he says. "You don't get it do you?" "Get what?" "You leaving me here alone and heavily pregnant Nkosikhona. You don't know what could go wrong with this mission of yours but here you are ready to leave." "I have to go sthandwa sami." (my love.)

"Why doesn't your father go alone since its his enemy not yours?" I ask and he sighs. "Because I'm usually the one that handles stuff like this." he answers. "When are you leaving?" "Tomorrow." I wipe the tears that have escaped. "I don't even know what to say to you. You know what just leave its fine. Its clear where your priorities lie."

"My priorities lie with you and our child." he says and I chuckle. "If they did then you wouldn't be here telling me about this mission instead you would be telling me that your dad is figuring out how to solve it without sending you away. Doesn't he realise that you have a family to think off?" I ask and he sighs. "I'm sorry I have to do this."

"Go Nkosikhona." He tries to hold my hand but I slap it. "Don't shut me out." "Don't be telling me about shutting you out when you the one that's planning to leave me alone." "Ngiyaxolisa sthandwa sami. I promise when I come back our lives will go back to normal and we will prepare for the baby's arrival and I will make things right with your father." (i'm sorry my love.)

"Just shut up I don't want to listen to you." I stand up and walk to the bathroom. I sit on the toilet seat and let the tears fall. Why is he agreeing to this mission? Doesn't he realise that his putting his life at risk? I am not ready to become a single mother because of him and anyways I am too pretty to become one.

I hear the door opening and he crouches down to my level and places his hands on my knees for balance. "Sthandwa sami cela ungibheke." he says. (my love please look at me.) "Start packing Nkosikhona you said you are leaving tomorrow so you have to make sure everything is packed." I say in between sniffs. "I can't leave you like this."

"Then don't go on that mission Nkosikhona. Is that too much to ask for from you?" I ask and he sighs. "You are making this very hard for me Onalerona but I have to do this." he says. "Then go and pack up and leave me alone." He wipes away my tears but that seems to trigger more. He gets up and picks me up and we walk to our bedroom. I don't know how he manages to pick me up but he does.

He lays me gently on the bed and cuddles with me. "Please don't cry ungiphula inhlizyo mowukhala. Nami angiyithandi lento engiyenzayo kodwa kufanele ngiyenze ukuze ngivekele umndeni wethu. Labantu abafuna thina bayingozi futhi angifuni lutho ezolimaza wena noma ingane yethu. Ngiykucela Onalerona please bear with me. I don't want to do this but I have too." he says and rubs my back soothingly.

(Please don't cry you breaking my heart when you cry. I also don't love what I am doing but it has to be done so that I am able to protect our family. These people are dangerous and I don't want anything to hurt you or our child. Please Onalerona, please bear with me. I don't want to do this but I have too.)

"You leaving me here all alone what if something happens to me or our child while you are away. Who will come to rescue us and what if this mission doesn't take one week like you say it will instead it takes three months. I don't want to go through the remainder of this pregnancy alone please don't leave me." I say and he kisses my forehead.
