Endless Devotion

chapter 5

TIME: 15:48

We arrive at the hospital and we asked to see Njabulo, when we got to her room we took out the presents, and placed them next to her, we bought her chocolate, some get well soon flowers and cards and two big fluffy teddy bears which are written we love you

Njabulo: "guys, thank you so much" she had a tear rolling down her cheek, Mpiloenhle and I smiled, she opened her arms and we hugged her.

Mpiloenhle: "you're welcome sis"

Me: "guess who's back"

Njabulo: "who?"

Me: "Banzi"

Njabulo: "oh my...really, I can't wait to see him I miss him so much, I miss his little chubby cheeks"

Mpiloenhle: " you guys should stop being obsessed about my son"

Me/Njabulo: "he's really cute we can't really help it"

Mpiloenhle: " perhaps it's time to have a child of your own". What me? A child? Well maybe but, not now?

Me: "I think that line is for Njabulo because she's 26"

Mpiloenhle: "and your 25, what's the difference?". I keep quiet

Mpilo/Njabulo: "exactly"

Mpilo: "nawe Njabulo" (you too Njabulo). Njabulo keeps quiet same time and I laugh a little bit.

This topic caught me off guard. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics until Doctor smith called me.

Doctor: "good afternoon miss molefe"

Me: "afternoon doc"

Dr: "Njabulo is getting better, and she told me that she thinks she knows how she got to the hospital, she said before leaving for shopping with you, she made some eggs before leaving, and she forgot to turn off the gas, when she got back she sat 10-20 minutes on the couch and that's when she started feeling dizzy, she started sweating and walked slowly towards the kitchen and drank water, but it didn't help, she kept drinking water but nothing happened, she found herself laying on the floor, she said she felt like her breath was fading away, then you called but she didn't answer because her phone was a bit far away from her, she used all her energy and crawled towards it, when she was about to answer the call declined and you called again that's when she answered it, she was loosing consciousness that's when she saw you and completely blacked out, when she got here I didn't think she'd make it but she's one strong woman, she has not fully recovered yet but she's hilling, so she's going to stay here for a few days until she's good to go home."

Me: "okay doctor"

Dr: "thank you for your time" she then leaves, I walk back to Njabulo's room, I tell her and Mpiloenhle about her staying here for a few days.

Njabulo: " argh come on" she hates hospitals, she doesn't want to spend those few days in the hospital. But there's nothing we can really do about it, she has to recover.

Mpilo: "babes it's for you to be well-managed" that's very true

Njabulo: "but I want see Banzi, besides I'm okay"

Me: "you may look okay but you need to stay here"

Mpilo: "we'll bring banzi so that you can see him okay?"

Njabulo: "but-" she could finish her sentence because mpilo interrupted her.

Mpilo: "okay?"

Njabulo: "fine" she breathes out.

Mpilo: "good"

We drove back home and bought so things for banzi.

At home:

TIME: 18:23

I got back home, and I went upstairs to my mom's room, I found banzi peacefully sleeping, I went to my sisters room and checked and found some of her pajamas and wore them, they perfectly fit me, I heard a knock and I said "come in" Mom walked in

Me: "hi mama"

Her: "hey baby, Mpilo told me that Njabulo will be staying at the hospital for a few weeks"

Me: "she's so not so happy about it"  she chuckles a little bit

Her: "but she'll get better and come back to us"

Me: "definitely, where's Mpilo"

Her: "she's in my room with banzi"

Me: "okay, come sleep with me"

Her: " okay baby but don't kick me"

Me: "haa mama" she laughs and I also join until we stop

Me: "goodnight mama, I love you"

Her: "goodnight to you too baby, I love you too"

We closed our eyes and went to the zzz 😴 world.
