When You're Bound To Love

Chapter 152

SPHO**

I had such a great time with Sibu. He took me to dinner and a movie afterwards. We strolled in the mall for a while then took it to the nearest restaurant. Sibu: "Did I tell you how much I've missed you? And your cooking? The middle east isn't very friendly with my meals." I laughed. Me: "I missed you too. You're welcome to stay at my house for as long as you want." Sibu: "No. You need your space. Plus, Sandile would kill me if I don't give him some attention. Is he still needy?" Me: "Now more than ever. How long are you staying?" He smiled. Sibu: "Permanently. I've realized something when I was gone. I left because I wanted to be far away from Komander and his demons and that shady life. What I forgot to take into account was how I felt when I first met you. When I learned that you're my blood sister. One I've been searching for all my life. I chose to sacrifice seeing you because of that man. The man that separated us to begin with. I couldn't let him win Spho. I can't leave you here with him either I can't imagine what you had to go through because of him. He already took our mother. I can't let him take you. I'm sorry my angel." I hugged him. Me: "Thank you Sibu." Sibu: "So.. I've decided to buy this." Me: "What?" He looked around. Me: "This restaurant?" He nodded. Me: "Oh my! That's amazing! I'm so happy for you." Sibu: "And.. I made an adjustment to the dessert menu. I named one after you." Me: "You're wonderful. You know that?" Sibu: "I'll never leave you again Spho. No matter what. We will fight it together." Me: "Yeah.. well. There's something I need to tell you." Sibu: "What is it?" Me: "I'm pregnant. Four months now. It's not looking good." Sibu: "What do you mean? Is it that thing with the spot in the heart like Lam had when you were pregnant?" Me: "No.. not medical. The baby is.. full dark. He was conceived by Kadir the second." Sibu: "Lakhe's full dark demon." He sighed. Sibu: "I should've known. I shouldn't have left you here with him!" Me: "I chose to stay Sibu. I was the one who told you, you could leave me. You couldn't have known." Sibu: "I could have. I was just so consumed with leaving it all behind." He stared at the floor. Sibu: "Did it hurt?" I held his hand. Me: "No." Sibu: "You don't have to lie to me Spho." Me: "I know. I'm gonna need you to do me a favor." Sibu: "Anything." Me: "Lakhe and Kadir are not the same person. Kadir was a demon-" Sibu: "Is. He still exists somewhere." Me: "Is. But he's no longer in Lakhe's body. You can't hate Lakhe for what Kadir did." Sibu: "Don't you?" I sighed. Sibu: "Exactly. You haven't healed. You hate him just as I do. Problem with you is that you always see the good in people Spho. Even when they hurt you." Me: "Can we stop talking about this?" Sibu: "No. I want to know. Tell me." Me: "It's hard Sibu. I love Lakhe but I hate him for what Kadir has done. When he comes near me sometimes I cringe. I hate how his skin feels when he touches me. Something that I used to love, now turned into hate. All because of Komander. I can't connect to this baby at all. It's just there. Destroying everything in its growth." Sibu: "I know I won't be able to fix this. But I'm gonna be here for you. Whenever you need me." I nodded. Our dessert arrived. The 'Queen Spho' was it's name. How sweet. It had all my favorites. Me: "This is amazing." Sibu: "I had the chefs whip something up. So tell me, work wise." Me: "Oh there's so much. You remember my media features?" Sibu: "Shit I remember that." Me: "Well, I got lawyers to help me clean up the mess. It was revealed that the sources were Zingisa, Stella and Onika." Sibu: "Who's Onika?" Me: "Dez's sister who creeped into Lakhe's bed after." Sibu: "Wow. And Stella?" Me: "Wasn't surprised there. She never liked me. Faked everything." Sibu: "Zingi was your best friend." Me: "She got mad at me because she thought I was sleeping with Sandile just because I told her to stop doing it and we were close with Sandile." Sibu: "Is she crazy? Sandile is like your twin brother." Me: "Right? Anyway.. Rob decided to cut me off my program. Since it was under his company. Tar, My lawyer, helped me dig some dirt and they blasted Rob's company." Sibu: "Oh. My. God. You didn't." Me: "Didn't what?" Sibu: "Buy the empire?" He whispered. Me: "I did." I whispered back. He laughed. The corner of my eye caught someone walk in the door. Sibu: "Spho?" I looked at her and my heart stopped beating. Sibu looked as well. Sibu: "It can't be..." Me: "She died.. she's supposed to be.. I mourned her.." Sibu: "Spho.." he held my arm. I followed him out the restaurant.
