(At Manqoba's House)

Manqoba quickly got out of the covers rushing to the bathroom. He vomited everything while Nomtha was pating his back. It drives him crazy having to deal with that every morning. He rinsed his Mouth as She went back to the bedroom with Nomtha following him behind

Nomtha: Don't you think you must put that little pride and ego you have on the other side?
Manqoba:(scold)What do you mean Nomtha?
Nomtha:I think you should see a Doctor, atleast call one to come here
Manqoba:I don't want to see a Doctor, I'm fine can't you see that?
Nomtha:No you're not fine Manqoba,you want to believe that you're fine but you're not
Manqoba:(sighed) I'll go and see one
Nomtha: I'm coming with you,I know you Manqoba
Manqoba:What have I done?I told you that I'm going right?
Nomtha: Yeah right!Like you will really go.
Manqoba: Nomtha are you trying to say you don't trust me?
Nomtha:Did I say anything about Trust?
Manqoba: Whatever, I'm going to work then I will go to Your Stupid Doctor
Nomtha:(Sighed) I'm going to meet up with Mpume since I thought Your Mother would look after you like she said but she decided to go
Manqoba:Aaybo I'm not sick Nomtha, you and my Mother should start treating me like the head of the house. I cannot be sick this is nothing major
Nomtha:Your Mother said it,Zulu men have too much ego and you happen to be one of them
Manqoba:I don't have ego or maybe you should just go and prepare some breakfast
Nomtha:Are you trying to get rid of me Manqoba?
Manqoba:How when you're my Lovely and beautiful wife
Nomtha:(giggles)Your Moods are messing up with you
Manqoba:Yeah whatever,I should get ready for work.

Nomtha was about to say something when her phone rang. Unknown number flashed on the phone screen,she wanted to ignore it but Manqoba gave her a dead stare.

Manqoba: Ain't you going to answer that?
Nomtha:Mmmh it's not important
Manqoba:Oh Really?
Nomtha:Yes,let me go and prepare some breakfast Ohk?
Manqoba:Ohk.

Nomtha walked out of the bedroom as she shut the door closed behind her. She leaned over the door and did some breathing exercises before she went downstairs.Her phone rang again so she decided to answer it.

Nomtha: Zolani what do you want from me?I told you to stay away!
Mpume:Whoooa I'm not Zolani,and you see why I said you should tell Manqoba about him
Nomtha:(sighed) Oh it's you!You know Manqoba, he's going to go crazy about it
Mpume:Even if he can kill him I don't care
Nomtha: You're heartless
Mpume: I'm heartless like that, you know me.
Nomtha:Yeah, We're Still meeting up right?I missed you
Mpume:Yes we're still meeting up
Nomtha:Is Lisa going to join us?I missed her too
Mpume: Yeah, Sthembiso is going to be busy and she'll be taking little Sthembiso to her in-laws.
Nomtha:Good,I will see you then. Let me prepare some breakfast for my wonderful Annoying Husband
Mpume:I think that's ironic
Nomtha:No it's not,Look I will see you bye
Mpume:Bye!

She disconnected the call as she went back to prepare some breakfast.

(At Res)

Hlobisile groaned as her eyes Landed on the Clock on the wall. She got out of the bed taking her cosmetics before she walked out to take a shower. She then went back to her room. Nicole was already up.

Hlobisile:Good Morning,how was your Night?
Nicole:It was great (smiles)What about yours?
Hlobisile:Great too,we have to get to school
Nicole:Oh yeah, it's the Orientation what what
Hlobisile:(giggles)I don't even know what's that
Nicole:Mmmh I kinda get it
Hlobisile:Do you have any friends?Like friends you came with from highschool or your area?
Nicole:Oh no,I didn't really have friends
Hlobisile:Oh I thought-
Nicole:I wasn't allowed to,my Peers were very corrupt so my parents thought it would be good to be friendless
Hlobisile:I get you,I have a friend but she's too much
Nicole:Too Much? How?
Hlobisile: She's your Hoe friend kinda girl but I won't call her that
Nicole:Oh I get you(getting out of the bed)Let me go and take a bath so we could go to school
Hlobisile:(smiles)Ohk Let me get dressed
Nicole:Cool

She walked out of the room leaving Hlobisile as she was dressing up. After some few minutes or so,they all got done and they walked out meeting Zandile halfway;she was with a certain girl who was full of Tattoos since she was wearing a vest.

Zandile: Morning Hlobisile and your roommate
Hlobisile: Morning,well this is Nicole my roommate and Nicole this is Zandile and well(Shrugged her shoulders)
Zandile:MaZet, she's MaZet and here is Hlobisile. My best friend
MaZet:Nice to meet you Hlobs,You look cool
Hlobisile:Uhmm I guess, can we now go? Before uhmm-
Nicole: Let's go

You could sense it from a distance that MaZet was the bad girl and honestly she looked more like a Guy rather than a girl.

(At Manqoba's Workplace)

Sthembiso made his way inside Manqoba's office finding him busy on the phone. He looked at him as he chuckled taking a sit. Manqoba hung up as he narrowed his eyes on him.

Manqoba:Why are you Chuckling?Is there anything on my face?
Sthembiso: I've heard amazing stories about you
Manqoba:What about those Stories? Anything that's amusing about them?
Sthembiso:Well Yeah,i mean I was told you're sick and boy you're annoying
Manqoba:Who said that?
Sthembiso: Never mind about that, what's up with you?
Manqoba:(hissed) I'm fine, everyone is asking me that and I'm tired
Sthembiso:Well you can't blame us, you're vomiting, annoying and you have cravings. That are the symptoms of pregnancy
Manqoba:How do you know that?
Sthembiso:Lisa was pregnant so don't ask me how,she was acting the Same way you're acting right now
Manqoba:(sighed)Mom thinks I have impregnated someone
Sthembiso:(scoffs)Oh, didn't you impregnated anyone? Nomtha cannot conceive so...

Manqoba stood on his feet as he paced around the office.

Manqoba:I slept with this random girl in a pens down party
Sthembiso:What the fuck where you doing in a Pens Down party Manqoba?
Manqoba:I was keeping my eyes on things since the Parents were not there so I didn't trust Muzi.
Sthembiso:And you decided to cheat on your wife
Manqoba:It was a mistake Sthe and I don't expect you to understand
Sthembiso:I take Nomtha as my little sister man,it wasn't a mistake. You didn't trip and fell on top of her finding your Dick I... God you're pathetic
Manqoba:I need solutions here,so don't cause problems
Sthembiso:Mnx, I'm out of here. If I find out you really impregnated some hoe. I'm going to kill you

He said as he walked out of Manqoba's office

(At the Mall)

Mpume: Don't tell me you're suggesting a Surrogacy
Nomtha:Yea,I wanted it to be as soon as possible but Manqoba said after five months
Mpume:Yooh it's too far
Nomtha: It's Ohk,I will definitely wait

Lisa walked over to them

Lisa: Hello,how are you guys doing
Nomtha:I missed you (hugging her) You've been so scarse
Lisa:BabySthe is keeping me busy and I'm still busy with my Business
Mpume:Cool,I wonder why are you even working when Sthembiso can take care of you
Lisa: I'm not like that,I won't depend on a man
Mpume:Ohk I get you
Lisa:(smiles)What have you been up to?
Nomtha: Nothing much,My husband is sick so I've been taking care of him
Lisa:Oh I've heard about that, Sthembiso told me and I'm suspecting pregnancy

Nomtha:I can't conceive so it can't be Pregnancy
Mpume: Yeah it can't be Pregnancy
Lisa:Fine if you guys say so
