' Hey babe.'

Susan greeted her husband as she walked into his office. He sat back in his chair when she sat on his lap and wrapped her left arm around him.

' Hey babe. What brings you by?'

' Just came to see on how my handsome husband is doing.'

' Handsome? Now I know you want something.'

' So I can't just come see my husband.'

' You can but I know by now when you call me handsome you want something. Especially at this time of the day. So what can I help you with?'

' I want to arrange a baecation for the Nkosi's.'

Senzo removed his reading glasses and rubbed his eyes.

' Please don't tell me you're meddling in their business again.'

' I'm not meddling. I'm just pushing them into the right direction. We both know that those two shouldn't have separated but they are both too proud and stubborn to apologise to each other.'

' Then how do you plan on getting them to agree on this baecation?'

' Well I was thinking I could ask Nkuli to attend a meeting for me in Cape Town and book her accommodation at Uthando resort.'

Senzo shook his head. Uthando was a couple's resort which dealt in helping couples mend their relationship or end it.

' I didn't know you had a meeting in Cpt.'

' I don't. It's just a lie to get her down there. Get with the program babe'

He laughed

' You're aware that these two have been separated for as long as two years?'

' Yes but I also know they love each other. Hence I am doing this.'

' Kenny and Nkuli haven't had a decent conversation in four years and you want to bring them back to love.'

' Yes. With your help we can move mountains.'

Senzo knew there was no changing his wife's mind. Once she played matchmaker and love therapist,she was not listening to anyone.

' What do I have to do?'

' You my handsome husband have to get Kenny to the mother city by Sunday night.'

' That can be done. Especially since he has a meeting Monday. I can tell him they've moved it to an earlier time.'

' How will you get him to Uthando though?'

The couple began to plot on how to get their friends under the same roof. Senzo only went along with her ideas because he knew she meant well but did not think it would work. They were used to being separated and were comfortable with it.

' Don't count your chickens before they hatch. They might just leave as soon as they realize that we set them up.'

' I already have a plan in place for that. Just call the resort and set everything up. I'll do the rest.'

' Whose paying for this therapeutic vacation?'

Susan smiled at him before she kissed and made out with him.

'If you do this for me Senzo. Tonight. I got you boo.'

He smiled knowingly as she walked out of her office while swaying her curves. They had had their own problems as a couple and when therapy and counseling did not help, another friend suggested they try the resort and it helped them a lot. Hence she thought it would help her friend too.

Uthando - means love
