"Haiboooooo!! Akuvukwe boooo!!"there's a loud constant banging , the curtains abruptly open and the harsh light reflects inside the massive room , I don't even need to open my eyes to know who is making the noise
"Makotiiiiii!!!"
It's my mother in law , she's wearing a black body on dress with Gucci flops and a head wrap
"Usibonile iskhathi?"
I take that opportunity to check the time , my anger starts boiling inside of me why would she wake me up so early
"It's only 07:00"
"Wuhhhhu o likhona basilethela izinongo nje "
She gives me a disgusting look at and throws a paper at me
"Vuka sisi here's the list of chores you need to do "
With that said the devil in Gucci walks away
"It's about to be a long marriage
Yesterday likhona picked me from my house the drive was so silent the tension was loud and you could even slice it with a knife ,he helped me pack things at the apartment I didn't take my entire things I just so half of my stuff I have a feeling I might need to go back at some point
The only time we exchanged words was during one word conversations which were not avoidable with my husband he's my husband now , his sister showed me my room and it massive and beautiful but doesn't compare to the one I was using at Likhona's house these people are actually filthy rich
My sister is very lukewarm towards me , I also don't know how I feel about her but she has no reason to hate me honestly I didn't even choose this life for myself
I take a shower well it needs to be rushed cause I am about to clean the house , I glanced at the list before showering and its honestly just so crazy
I wear my grey body on dress with my Luella flops and I still have a head wrap on my head I take the chores list and ascend to my duties while I have AirPods on
Me and likhona use different bedrooms ,it's passed two hours already and I'm cleaning the dishwasher
Yep I need to clean the dishwasher I'm jamming to Adele's tracks the AirPods make it easy for you to hear when someone is speaking so I can actually hear
As I'm singing while cleaning , I hear someone clear their throat behind me I get a fright and take out the EarPod from my ear I stand up and our eyes meet it's super awkward
"Goodmorning "
"Hey "
There's silence
"Do you want something to eat ?"
"No I will grab something on the way , he comes closer to me and stretches his arms behind to grab an apple and he leaves "
"Give him time "I'm shocked at where the voice came from I look behind me and it's the cool grandmother
"I don't know "
"He's very stubborn but sooner or later he will come around my baby have faith "
"I hope so would you like some porridge "
"What ? You can make porridge I think I'm going to love you "
"Well I learnt a few things from my mom "
"Please make that porridge for me my darling I will sit with you , while you tell me a bit about yourself "
"I don't really have much to tell "
"Ohhh don't fool me , tell me about your youth I will tell you about mines"
I giggle at that
Well the rest of the morning is spent with us just talking and laughing here and there the porridge finally gets ready and I dish up the porridge for her and I must say I really outdone myself she couldn't close her mouth about how nice it was made
My phone starts ringing on the counter , I slide my fingers on the screen and answer the call it's an unknown number
"Greetings is this Miss Ziyanda Khumalo"
"Yes this is she "
"We wanted to inform you about your son , can you please come to the hospital "
"What ? Is he okay ? I'm coming right back "
"I need to go "
I take off the apron and run upstairs to take my handbag and rush ti the hospital I request an Uber for myself and it arrives in less than 20 minutes
Although there was some difficulties in the estate well getting into the estate
I arrive the hospital panicking , what the hell is happening ? I kept praying the entire way the doctor comes to me with a smile plastered on his face
"Ma'am we are so sorry to disturb you , scare you Ntando us finally okay "
I release a deep breath
"Ohhh doctor I was so worried "
"It was a mystery to us too , well he's healthy now no nasal cannula "
"Really ?so he can finally come home "
"Yes "
A huge smile spreads across my face I missed him so much as soon as I see him I grab him in my arms and splatter kisses all over his face that's when I see that he can finally giggle
"Ohh my baby boy "
I sign the discharge papers and luckily Asemahle arrange transport to take us to our new home I don't know how the atmosphere is going to be like
The car finally parks outside the house , the driver helps me take the clothes while I am holding the baby , I take the baby bag while he leaves the rest of the clothes infront of the door I thank him and give him his money
"Want me to help you ?"
"Umm yes if you don't mind "
As I said my sister in law is actually lukewarm towards me when she's around her mother she turns to a monster
Ever since I arrived I have never seen Ibanzi and I guess that's a relief I walk upstairs to my bedroom I'm not arranging a room for my baby he's gonna sleep with me
I lay him down on the bed and play with him while watching videos on TikTok , I adore seeing him giggle and before I know it we both doze off , while he's on top of me
I'm woken up by the feeling of warmness on my skin I open my eyes and it's likhona covering me with a blanket
"Sorry I wanted to talk to you "
"Thank you "
I lay the baby on the bed and stand up from the bed
"Ummm I wanted to talk about the surname thing "
"What about it?"
"You are the only one changing your surname not ..."it's even awkward saying it he looks at the baby on the bed
"Do you think this baby asked to be bored ?"
"But you agreed to be fucked by my father so ? He's the product "
A slap lands on his cheek
"Get the fuck out !"
"You know can't avoid —-"
"You are acting so childish get out "
I walk to the door and open the door for him I can't believe he said that to me how can he ?
