Khathus POV
These days have been how can I say this, emasculating to say the least. I love my wife and all but having someone baby you and take care of you as if you are 2yrs old is really annoying. Like I don't do anything alone or by myself. She bathes me like I love the intimacy because before the accident we would shower or take bubble baths together. But she bathes me every day. Then she clothes me because I can move my shoulder that much but again, I can do it myself, but she doesn't want to hear anything. I can move from my wheelchair without her always there. The only time I get to try do things alone is when I am at physical therapy. I don't like feeling at all.
Anyways I am in our temporary bedroom trying to get on my wheelchair I can't wait to get rid of this thing. Anyways as I was trying to get on it Zinhle walks in the room and sees me and quickly rushes to me and helps me. "Could you leave me alone I got it by myself. I don't always need your help you do get that right." I say very annoyed
"I'm trying to help you. There is no need for you to be rude to be like that." She says
"but I didn't ask for help. I had it before you came."
" to me you looked like you were struggling." She says
" I don't need you. I am okay I don't need you to baby sit me women." I say getting angry.
"you know ever since you came back home your attitude has been so disgusting. I understand that you are going through a lot but you have no right to talk to me or anyine like that. I am trying to help you appreciate that wena." She say angry "since you don't want my help you can help your get ready we are going to your parents house for a family meeting." Then she walks out of the room.
Why are we going to my parents house today I wonder why. I've never seen her that angry. Maybe I did overreact but I want to learn how to things alone without help is it my fault? Anyway I wheel myself to the bathroom and freshen up. When I am done I enter the bathroom I find my clothes laid in the be nicely and my shoes. I think Zinhle did this for me. even when she's angry at me she still takes care of me. Damn I love my wife.
When I am done I see that she is ready aswell she's wearing a wide legged blue jeans and a silk button up shirt and her rose gold Micheal kors watch set. And here white Airforce's. is wearing a bob wig aswell. Damn my wife is gorgeous. She turns and sees me.
"are you ready?" she asked still annoyed by me. I nod yes " do you want me to wheel you to the garage before I am called over bearing." She says
"come on you know I didn't mean it like that." I say defeated she doesn't answer and looks at me waiting for an answer. "yes you can help me." she walks towards me and wheels me to her car because my other car is to high for me to use. So we are using her CLA 200 2022. She opens the passenger door and waits for me to enter the car. I look at her and she looks at me waiting for me to get in the car. I sigh in defeat "may you please help me my love?" I say to her.
"oh now you want my help Mr. Independent?" she says
"please don't start," I say looking at her. then she helps me get into the car. Then she puts the wheelchair in the boot. Then she came back and got into the driver sit and we drove to my parents home.
When we arrived she's still not talking to me. so before we leave the car I ask to talk to her. "baby I am sorry for the way I spoke to you. I am just frustrated with my situation. I don't like feeling helpless. I am not excusing my behaviour these past few days. But I am not coping okay. And it makes it worse that the only person I want to be around is not talking to me. Baby I am really sorry. And I clearly need you to help me to do this please forgive." I apologize. She finally looks at me in my eyes.
"it's okay I guess, I get that you are going through a lot. But you need to accept help. I am not here to judge you babe I am here to help you. Seeing you this vulnerable right now won't change how I view you. But right now you need me and I am here for you. Allow me to help you Khathu. Using the excuse that you are a man and you don't need help won't serve you at all." She says
" I know I am sorry. Please forgive me baby." I say
" fine I'll forgive you. Only if you allow me to help you and I'll also give you space to help yourself too." She says
" thank you babe." I say and I lean in for a kiss and we kiss.

When I look out I see that my entire family is here to and her family aswell. I wonder what's going on. She helps me into the wheelchair, and we enter the house. We greet everyone thet ask how I am doing. Gosh I hate being pitted for to be honest. Zinhle goes to the kitchen to sit with the ladies and we just chill in the lounge until my dad calls everyone to living room. Everyone sits next to their respective partners and everyone is here. And the meeting starts.
"Good evening everyone. Thank you for honouring my invite and coming on such short notice. But as we all know a very unfortunate event happened to my son. So Zinhle has asked for this meeting together with Hulisani to confront this issue." My dad starts. These past few day my dad has been different towards me. in a good way now he call randomly and check on me. its very odd.
" Ngiyabonga babazala(thank you father in law), as well know what happened to my husband. I saw this as very suspicious because the car that he used just came back from service and then boom accident. So me and my brother in law Huli did our little investigation and found out something ever disheartening." She says then looks at her father he looks like he is about poop himself.
" and you know what is funny is that I would have never assumed that, that person would never do such. But hey who am I?" the she chuckles then looks at Hulisani who give my father an envelope. Then my dad reads the pages. As his reading Mr Cele looks very anxious. When he was done looks up
"how dare you attempt to kill my son you bloody selfish prick!!" my dad shouts looking at Mr Cele.
Wait this man tried to kill me?
am i the only one who is shocked at this revelation?
