JOYS OF LIFE -2 [NOT EDITED]

77

BAFANA MESULI MAJOLA

Seeing Ntokozo ignore me like that hurt, I won't lie. I had to wait until she finished feeding the kids so I can ask her to speak to me outside. Mom and dad excused themselves after instructing Junior to bath the kids and put them to sleep.

Ntokozo: "Let's go wash the dishes." She says to me. I stand up and follow after her.

Me: "I'm sorry."

Ntokozo: "For what?!" She questions without even looking at me.

Me: "For the way I have been treating you these past months."

Ntokozo: "Ok."

Me: "I was hoping that we could iron things out and possibly work on our relationship together. I want you back Ntokozo."

Ntokozo: "Why?! So you can keep reminding me how I lied to you?!"

Me: "Ntokozo, come on mfethu."

Ntokozo: "Ukuthi Fana, any chance you get wena, you remind me ukuthi I once lied to you about my relationship status."

Me: "I know and I apologise for that. I promise i will do better and be the man you fell inlove with. I miss you ngempela Ntokozo."

Ntokozo: "What about your girlfriend?!"

Me: "I dumped her."

Ntokozo: "Mmhm."

Me: "I love you MakaZizwe." I say softly, leaning closer to her. I kiss her shoulder and then wrap my arms around her.

Ntokozo: "I love you too babakhe." I turn her around and pull her to me before plastering my lips on hers with so much passion. She grips on my arms tightly as she releases her melodic moan.

Mom: "Ay futsek ekhishini lami!" She scolds walking in. Ntokozo quickly pushes me off her and turns around looking so embarrassed.

Me: "Sorry mah."

Mom: "Finish the dishes and then go continue in your room. Leave the kids, they will sleep with smithile . Just don't make any noises please!" I chuckle. 'Smithile'  by the way is Swelihle.

Me: "Thank you." She frowns and rolls her eyes. I let Ntokozo sit and watch me do the dishes. Once done, I take her hand and lead her to my room outside.

Me: "Don't you want us to go clubbing?! When last did we even have fun?!"

Ntokozo: "Asambe." She says excitedly. I quickly text Sqalo to pull through before getting ready myself. Just as we are about to leave, a knock accompanied by Zizwe's screams comes through. I huff opening the door.

Me: "Ukhalelani?" I ask as I take Zizwe into my arms after he reached for me.

Junior: "Hhayi iyahlupha lengane." He says and walks away.

Ntokozo: "Now what?!"

Me: "Do you still want to go?! I will watch Zizwe."

Ntokozo: "Hhaa alone?! No!" She deadpans.

Me: "You will have your brother in law and his girlfriend nje..."

Ntokozo: "Ngiyobamba ikhandlela?! Hhayi babakhe."

Me: "Okay let's put this one to sleep and dump him with his grandparents."

Ntokozo: "But what if they wanted their privacy tonight since they suggested that the babies sleep in Swe's room."

Me: "Ay! I will dump them in Junior's room." I say already rocking Zizwe back and forth so he can fall asleep.

____________

Ntokozo: "Junior will get mad once he notices that Zizwe is in his room." She says chuckling.

Me: "Hhay he will be fine. That's his son too." I pull out a chair for her to sit before greeting my brother and his girlfriend. Sqalo's girlfriend is beautiful and all but she looks a bit older than my brother.

Sqalo: "Y'all invited us out but y'all are late futhi."

Ntokozo: "Hawww indodana yenu iyatetema nje."

Me: "You busy worrying about how we are late but you haven't even introduced us to your partner. Uyaphapha bafo."

Sqalo: "Mxm! Sthandwa sami, this boy is my little brother and the woman next to him is my beautiful sister in law."

Ntokozo: "Sbari, don't disrespect my man mike that please." I grin looking at a now shocked Sqalo.

Sqalo: "Hawu!!! Anyways guys, this is my woman, my other half, uNkazi."

Ntokozo: "I'm so happy to meet you sis" she goes over to hug her before sitting back down.

Me: "Yes, we are very happy to meet you. Umuzamile bakithi ubhuti wami." She laughs shyly.

Nkazi: "I'm pleased to meet you guys too. I have heard alot about you guys."

Me: "Good things only we hope."

Nkazi: "Yes." She says chuckling. I hail a waiter and order drinks for us. Ntokozo takes Nkazi to dance at the dancefloor while my brother and I watch.

Me: "So when are you introducing your woman to the parents?"

Sqalo: "I want to do it soon but she keeps dodging it."

Me: "Hawu why?"

Sqalo: "Uthi she's scared and not ready?!"  I roll my eyes. 

Me: "Wait, while at that how old is she?"

Sqalo: "36." I choke on my beer with my eyes popped out in shock.

Me: "A whole 11 year gap?! Damn!"

Sqalo: "Naah, don't judge me bruh. I love her ngempela."

Me: "I hear you bafo." Our women come back and Ntokozo gives me a kiss first then she sits.

Me: "Ngiyakuthanda yezwa?" I whisper in her ear as she blushes.

Ntokozo: "I love you too baby."

Remy: "Ohhh! Is this what you're ignoring me for Fana?! Heh?! What about me?! Your pregnant girlfriend?!" She shouts behind me and lands a very painful slap across my face.

Me: "Fokof Remy, uyangizwa?!" I shout holding her hands tightly. She continues screaming and shouting at me as I drag her outside.

Me: "What the F is your problem?!" I gritted angrily.

Remy: "I miss you baby but you have been ignoring me. I even had to track you done and this is where the tracking app located you."

Me: "Uyahlanya?! Fokof lana!" I shout.

Sqalo: "Sis wami. Please have some self-respect and walk away, you are disturbing us okok'qala nje." He says in a very stern tone scaring her. She hurriedly walks away.

Ntokozo: "Take me home, please." I huff nodding.
