Chapter 20

°20

Hlobisile woke up the following as she walked over to the bathroom and do her hygiene process. She walked back to her bedroom to dress up looking at her body on the mirror. It was slowly changing and she didn't like that at all. She sighed walking over to the living room as she couldn't smell the aroma coming from the kitchen. The living room was quite different and she didn't really get what's wrong. Her eyes Landed on her parents whom were settling around the table for a change.

Hlobisile:Good Morning parents
MaShenge: Morning Hlobisile,how are you doing?
Hlobisile:Very good, I'm still tired though and thank Goodness it wasn't raining
MaShenge:Yeah,I didn't prepare any breakfast this morning so you should have some of the food from yesterday
Hlobisile:Ow
MaShenge:Yeah we are trying to find a solution for this situation regarding your baby daddy and that Contract
Hlobisile: Maybe I should just sign it Mom (dropping her shoulders) I'm tired of fighting these people
Mr Buthelezi:You won't sign anything Hlobisile! You'll go and give that silly paper back to that Zwane boy!
Hlobisile: Father is that your solution?I don't even know where he lives.
Mr Buthelezi:You will go to his parent's house angithi you know Where that is
Hlobisile:(sighed)Yes,but father they will take my baby
Mr Buthelezi: Atleast we would have tried to prevent that Hlobisile. You can't just give them the baby without any fight
MaShenge:UBaba is right Hlobisile,you cannot just give away my grandchild because of a stupid Paper. We will fight for this baby (standing up)Rich people are really disgusting,they treat us like some kind of trash.(she walked away)
Mr Buthelezi:Let me get my jacket I will accompany you to that Zwane family to give them these papers
Hlobisile:Ohk Baba

Hlobisile walked over to the kitchen to eat leftovers from last night since she was really hungry. Her phone rang and an unknown number flashed just on the phone screen. Knowing pretty well that it might be the wife-she answered.

Hlobisile:Hi
Nomtha:Oh hello Hlobisile, I'm quite sure you slept on it right?What we talked about yesterday?
Hlobisile:Yes I did Sleep on it and I've come up with my decision
Nomtha:(smiles)Oh,I hope it's some great news. I could do with the greatest News this morning ey.
Hlobisile:(breath out) Unfortunately I won't be able to sign,well (shrugged her shoulders)Give you the baby ofcorse;so it's a big no.
Nomtha:I don't want to be your enemy Hlobisile so please sign
Hlobisile: I'm not signing anything Nomtha you and your husband can go to hell for all I care! I'm tired of of you guys treating me like I'm in this Shit alone. I didn't tell your husband to be such a cheater.
Nomtha:(gasped)No you didn't... Did you jus... Girl I will kill you
Nomtha:My Ancestors are always watching at me 24/7 Mrs Zwane. Yes I was also wrong for sleeping with your husband but I was drunk and totally out of it. Kodwa that doesn't give you any right for attacking me nx

Hlobisile clicked her tongue as she disconnected the call. She placed her hand on her chest inhaling,she was asking herself about the braveness she just had against Nomtha. Mr Buthelezi walked right after the phone call as he looked at his daughter.

Mr Buthelezi:We may leave Hlobisile I hope you're good.
Hlobisile:(nods)Yes I'm good Father,we may leave

(At Manqoba's House)

Nomtha was so devastated pacing up and fourth in her bedroom while Manqoba was showing. She really thought that Hlobisile had no back bone to back chat someone especially to her since she had slept with her husband. A sudden frown crossed her face heaving a sign. Manqoba looked at his wife as soon as he stepped out of the shower and he knew that something is wrong.

Manqoba: MaGatsheni, what's wrong talk to me?
Nomtha:(tries to fake a smile)I.. It's nothing Zikode
Manqoba:(shakes his head)No there's something MaGatsheni, tell me
Nomtha:I think we must adopt, it's been months and I really think this is a right time for us to adopt
