60.) Forever.

Onalerona's POV
One week later...

"Alright mommy you have been cleared you can go home. I'll bring the discharge forms now for you to sign." says Dr. Mkhize and I nod and smile. Finally I will be out of this hell hole. Nkosikhona walks in with a small bag and he places it on the edge of the bed. "You okay?" he asks. "I'm getting discharged today." I answer and he smiles but that smile quickly falls.

"So you going back to your dad?" he asks. "I have no choice Nkosikhona otherwise he will kill me." I answer. "Where does this leave us?" I sigh. "We are still together Nkosikhona I won't leave you. I guess I can use this time to process everything, you know." "The kidnapping?" "Yes, I am angry but not at you because you couldn't have prevented this from happening and I want to move on and forget."

He sighs and stands in front of me. He rubs my belly and he kicks. "I'm really sorry I couldn't protect you. I will live with the guilt for the rest of my life." I pull him in for a kiss and he wraps his arms around my waist. I don't want to listen to him blame himself. He did what he could and I'm glad he found me just in time before I lost our baby and got sold off.

Rea poisoned the food and she wanted me to lose the baby but somehow I vomitted the poison. I know that was God protecting my baby because he should have died because of this but he didn't. My little fighter "Onalerona don't piss me off!" shouts dad and we break the kiss. "Pap," "Shut up. The doctor said you are getting discharged your mom will help you change so we can go home."

"Papa can I please talk to Nkosikhona alone." I say. "You are not talking to anyone. You and this boy are breaking up and you will never see him again." he says. "I love him." "Love breaks up marriages? Does it drive people to commit suicide?" I keep quiet. Nkosikhona told me Rea committed suicide but deep down inside of me I know that they made it look like a suicide.

I'm not happy with how things ended but it was either her or me and the baby. "You are not seeing him again. He needs to go and mourn for his wife and leave you alone." says dad. "Papa, our son needs him." he scoff chuckles. "He won't be the first boy to grow up without a father and anyways you will move on and find someone in the church."

"I don't want them papa I want Nkosikhona." I say. "I'll slap you Onalerona if you continue to talk such bullshit." I blink away the tears that want to escape. "Its okay sthandwa sami I'll go." says Nkosikhona. (my love.) "I won't allow you to let me raise our child alone. You know I need you and our baby needs you." "I have to respect your dad's wishes." "Nkosikhona no!"

"I'm sorry but I need to go." He kisses my forehead and walks out. How dare he leave me here alone? My phone buzzes and its a message from him telling me that he will call and text everyday he just had to leave to escape the tension. "You see what you did papa. You took away the one person that truly loves me." "Don't bore me."

My stepmother walks in and she comes to sit next to me. "Are you ready to bath?" she asks. "I think its better I stay here then to go back home with you guys." I say and she turns to look at my dad. "What happened?" "Don't ask me that bullshit." says dad and he walks out. "Ona?" "He kicked Nkosikhona out and told him that he won't be apart of my life anymore."

She sighs. "Don't worry I will try to talk to him." she says. "You don't have to its okay." I say. "You guys love each other and it would be wrong of us to deny you happiness." "Can we get ready so I can go home." she nods. She helps me get ready and I wear a Givenchy sweater and sweatpants that Nkosikhona came with.
