Monica
I was seated as I scroll through my Facebook, my eyes popped out as I meet a tag from Gabriella, he tagged Brandon, and said" Thanks for the day". My eyes formed a mist as I play our memories, so she is the reason why he quitted on us. I have always given him the whole of me. But it doesn't matter anyway so the question now is what are my intention with this pregnancy?. I have lost my family and the guy that I have given my heart. William rescued me, if it wasn't for him I doubt I would be having a place to lay on at nights or who knows I might be dead by now in results of being on street. I had my trust in love and now I have fallen so hard, Too hard that I can't even recognize my self when I look in the mirror. How did the life turn to be this bad, I was once a woman with countless dreams but as for now, they are all scattered. I have to find something, I can't depend on this family I mean like I am non-related to any of them, it is by the mercy of God that I am having shelter. I don't even know what the future holds for me. I reached to my laptop and started with the compilation of my CV. This is how I am going to start taking responsibility for my own doings.
Later I was no longer thinking straight, after so many attempts without surviving, but I was glad that at the end of the day I managed to survive. I needed some fresh air. I went to the living room, I caught William and his mother while talking about me, so he did it, he told his mother that he impregnated me. We haven't agreed in that one, how could he do that, I don't want to be a burden to someone else. I have heard enough, I walked to the living room when I was welcomed by a pity face from his mother, another thing I hate, she is feeling pity for me that I was chased out of my home. She came and embraced me
Mother: You are going to be fine, they will come around
Monica: (The comfort I felt in her arms made my eyes misted) I will be okay( she broke the hug, William came by and kissed me on my cheek as he wrapped his strong hands on my shoulders, he whispered)
William: You going to be fine I am here for you, we are here for the both of you
Monica:( What is wrong with these people, they really want me to breakdown in front of them, hearing William words broke me cause in my thoughts I hoped to hear those words from Brandon) I will be fine William ( I said that with anger as I free my self from his hands)
Mother: You want something to eat?
Monica: I just want to thank you for welcoming me to your house, it means a lot to me, you just saved me from the unknown
Mother: Feel at home, you are one of us now
Monica: (The smile over William's face is like of a kid being offered a candy) Okay excuse me I was going to the Tuckshop?
Mother: So you know where to find it?
Monica: No I never went outside ever since I got here
William: let's go I will be your company
Monica: Direction can do William ( I saw disappointment all over his face)
Mother: Let me call Tebogo to accompany you then
William: It's okay mother I am coming with her
Mother: Okay then let me give you two some space, it seems like the bomb is about to explode
Monica: ( She said that as she vacates) Why did you tell your mother that you impregnated me!!
William: I told you I am going to tell her
Monica: We never agreed on that!!
William: It doesn't matter if you don't want me to be the part of your baby's life I will force my self in!!
Monica: Stay away from me!!! Stay away from us!!
William: Fine shall we go to the shop?
Monica: I lost interest
William: Come on I want to show you some places around
Monica: No!!
William: I pled
I dropped my acts and go with him, we entered ten houses as he was checking up on his buddies busy introducing me to them as his girlfriend. It was weird as he couldn't stop hugging me in their presence but it was kinda good. I have spent the whole of my day walking around now I am exhausted and feet are killing me.
Brandon
I got home and find Monica's father who seems furious by my presence. I shivered as he attacks me, he punched me several times until my mother pulled him off me. He pushed my mother so hard to free himself. On my side, I touched my fresh wound as I exclaimed in pain
He came back to me as he was taking every step slowly with his piercing look, this man is really intimidating, I felt like I will wet my pant anytime soon from shivering. He shot his piercing look right in my eyes while there is a small inch of distance between us. He hissed his words with his husky voice.
father: If something ever happens to my girl, I am going to send you to your grave alive
Brandon: (The coldness in his voice gives you clarity in how heartless he is, I searched for the words in my dry mouth as I utter them while stuttering) What!!! What did I do sir?
Father: You screwed up my daughter and turned her to be your sperm dish now that she is pregnant you gave her your back and went to check other hoes!!
Mother: What!!!
William: (My mother screamed from the background, with this scene I even forgot of her presence) It happened by mistake, I take your daughter serious and I respect her ( I said that on innocent tone pled for him to buy my words but it seems like my words turned him to become more bitter as he holds me by clothes, his strong hands is about to send me flying across the room, I can already see that)
Father: What do you mean, if you respect her then were is she? The moment I send her out it was your turn to take responsibility!! My daughter is no were to be found while you running around with different skirts
Brandon: ( His last words just expressed his heartbreaks, so the reason why he is this furious is because of my actions) I am sorry sir
Father: What kind of a man are you, What are the plans for your future, you don't even have a work, all you do is roaming around with different girls drinking endlessly while you disrespecting your mother!!! Listen here young man, the moment you choose to impregnated my daughter was when you choose to be stuck with her, so you have the end of this week to find her and bring her here!!! She is now your responsibility, you have the end of this week to find a job and be responsible for your actions, you have the end of this week to let go all your actions and be the proper man that I have always dreamt for my daughter to have!!! If I don't get a response over the change I have mentioned then you should varnish before make you varnish!!!
Brandon: (His words are registered in my mind, and taken seriously if I still value my life!) Yes sir( he loosen me up and march out as he vacated
Mother: What have you done Brandon!!!
Brandon: (I gave her the look that says don't dare start with me I have already received enough lectures, I said those words mumbling as I marched to my room) Fuck you Monica were the hell am I expected to find your hoeing ass!!
