SIBLINGS-IN-LAW:LOVE & CONSEQUENCES

SEVEN

SIBONISO MAYIZA (Luyolo's Father)

I Puff on my fourth cigarette as I am standing against my car admiring this abandoned building. No one ever dares to come here as they believe that it is cursed. Nc nc nc. This is a perfect spot to spill blood on and walk away leaving an alibi. I hear a car coming to hault, I don't even bother to look back, I might already know who is here. I hear foot steps coming towards me. Her scent hits my nostrils before she even stands next to me.

"You should quit smoking." I tilt my head to where she is standing. Still beautiful as ever. But my wife still on the number one spot.
Siboniso:"Not even my wife tells me what to do. Suk'undiqala ke mna. I am not that dumb husband of yours." (Don't start with me.) I cluck my tongue and stomp on the burning cigarette.
"Why am I here?"
Siboniso:"Aah, straight to business. Still the feisty woman I met 25 years ago I see."
"Siboniso I will ask again, Why the hell am I here?"
Siboniso:"Do you know how much that turns me on mommy?" I move very close to her as she moves back until she collides with her car.
Siboniso:"Where are you going mommy? I missed you so much, I never thought I'd ever see you again." I nibble on her ears then I suck the life out of her lips. She pushes me off and a slap lands on my face. It stings as fuck, damn woman! I held my cheek and smiled evilly.
"Don't put your goat ass stinking mouth on me, ever again!" She shouts.
Siboniso:"You know, on the day of the wedding something had caught my attention and it was quite disturbing, very disturbing for that matter."
"Wha... What is it?" I chuckled. My chuckle turned into a laugh.
Siboniso:"My daughter in-law." I say that firmly and she shifts uncomfortably. "How old is she?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
Siboniso:"I am just curious. You know, I never new that you are married to that goat of yours that you think my mouth smells like his ass."
"What do you want?"
Siboniso:"My daughter. How could you!?"
"What are you talking about?"
Siboniso:"Don't fucking test me Nomathemba! Who are you trying to fool? Maybe that husband of yours, but I can see that, she is my daughter!" I bang her car with my hand which startled her
Nomathemba:"Don't get ahead of yourself, that is my husband and I's daughter. Ntombenhle is NOT your daughter!"
Siboniso:"To make your daughter get married to his brother? How crazy are you woman? Those are siblings for fuck's sake! Do you even realise the damage that you have done?"
It goes silent for a while.

Nomathemba:"I cheated on my husband, damn it! What do you think would have happened then? He would have left me if I told him the truth." She starts crying.
Siboniso:"And you bloody think that I care about that? I also cheated on my wife. You deprived my rights to father my daughter! How can you be so selfish?"
Nomathemba:"I am sorry." She sobs.
Siboniso:"FUCK YOU NOMA, FUCK YOU! Do you realise the damage that you have done huh? The lighting and thunder? You put their lives in danger uya qonda (do you realise?) We have to perform some rituals on Saturday for the traditional wedding, don't you think that it could go wrong?"
Nomathemba:"So, what now?" I put an evil grin on my face and shook my head.
Siboniso:"Are you seriously asking me that?"

I chuckle and walk to my car. I opened the door before I could get in, I looked at her.
Siboniso:"I hope you have a plan to fix this since you decided to hide the truth of me having I daughter." I drove off leaving her crying mess. Where do I even begin fixing this? How do I tell my wife about this? If Noma came clean about this the moment she realised that she was pregnant, it would have been easier but now, oh Lord help me. This will cause so much chaos.
