SIBLINGS-IN-LAW:LOVE & CONSEQUENCES

FORTY-FIVE

NTOMBENHLE MAYIZA

We have arrived at my parents' house and we are all settled around the dinning table having dinner over conversations. My mother! She seems to be distant and I am catching a bad vibe between her and my dad but then, let me not dwell on it.

They all laughed around the table, I don't know at what because I was deep in my thoughts. Luyolo takes my hand into his and kiss the back of it, I look at him all smiles on his face and all I see is love written in his eyes. He is in love with me and he doesn't even need to tell me.

"I love you." I confess to him in a whisper. He bites his lip and grins. I know that look, he has a silly idea on his mind. I yank my hand and eat my food, he chuckles sliding his hand under the table to my thigh. I gasp as he puts his hand In my skirt causing everyone to look at me.

"Are you okay, wifey?" The devil himself asks. I am going to kill my husband after this.

"I uh... I am fine." I clear my throat.

"Chomam. A little birdie tells me that you spent a night in the cells." My sister says.

"You were arrested? For what and when did that happen?" Neo, my sister's husband ask. My husband has buried his hand in my underwear and just that, it is escalating my breathing.

"For drunk and driving. They shouldn't have let him out!" They all laugh. I gasp for air as soon as I feel Luyolo's fingers brushing against my clit.

"Luyolo stop." I murmur.

"Son, what happened? Was it your wife?" My father wants to know more. I think he also wants to share a similar story.

"Ba... Baba. Why would you think that it..." I breathe because Luyolo is acting inappropriate under the table. "Why would you think that it was me? He was with his father and..." My mother coughs and now everyone's attention is on my mother, Luyolo use the opportunity to fiddle his way on my vagina opening, I let out a moan but quickly suppress my lips together so that I don't do it again. I shake my head.

"I will go and check on the kids." My mom says as she gets up from the chair. I hold Luyolo's hand so that he could stop torturing me but, that made him push in his finger.

"Aaah..." Oh my God I didn't, did I? The moment he stops moving his hand and takes it out, only then do I realise that they are looking at me. Luyolo wants to embarrass me in front of my father.

"Khanyisile, are you okay? Is the baby okay?" I so want to slap my husband. I want to strangle him right now.

"She is even sweating. Do we need to get you to the doctor?" Mbalenhle's tone is very concerned. I shake my head.

"I am a doctor, let me examine her. It might not be anything serious." Neo stands up heading to my side of the table, I start crying.

"I am fine. Nothing is wrong with me."

"Then why are you crying, my baby?" My father asks feeling pity for me. Luyolo holds my hand, I yank it off.

"I almost peed on myself." I snot.

"But you didn't, right?" Mbalenhle asks with her eyes wide open. I cry more.

"Just a little. If I stand up I am going to mess up on myself." My father laughs shaking his head.

"Women!"

"Tell me about it." I sigh wiping my tears. "Baby, do you want me to carry you to the bathroom?" Luyolo says getting on his feet.
