Being the surrogate

Alvin's POV

"We have a problem."

Khonde told me once I was in his office. I had come to bring the clothes I had made for his office workers. I sat down and looked at him. He wasn't happy.

"What is it".

"Ma'am Rita wants me to marry her". I stood up immediately.

"That's a joke. Right?" He shook his head. "No... This wasn't our agreement here Khonde."

"Ma'am Rita doesn't know that you two have a past."

"We still have it going on. Just that she doesn't want to accept it."

"I won't marry her. I can't hurt you Al. Let's think of a way... "I I breathed in relief. I knew Khonde would never hurt me.

"Thank you bro."
The door was opened without a knock and Eli revealed himself. He had a huge grin on his face.

"Wow.... My dear brothers... You want to go against mother dearest?" I frowned... Did he hear anything?

"What are you talking about Eli?"

"You want to back out on marrying your mysterious baby mama? You won't marry her?"

"What do you want Eli?" Khonde started massaging his forehead as he already had an idea that he was soon going to be blackmailed.

"Hahahaaa... I don't want anything." He started moving around the office with a cheeky grin.

"Eli, we have important things to do here."

"I know you also in this, Al." He winked. I became frustrated. We needed to settle this ASAP.

"Ok... I will buy you that phone you have been telling me about but let this be the last time you will blackmail your brothers..."

"Ha ha ha.... Now you are talking Al." He came behind me and wrapped his hands on me. "You are the best." He planted a kiss on my cheek.

"Ew... Gross." I rubbed the spot immediately.

"Bye you two..." He started dancing happily as he moved towards the door.

"Wait!" Khonde called. "What did you come here to do?"
"Oh...". He stiffened and then he turned around. The smile totally washed away from his face. "I forgot that ma'am Rita told me to come. She said You fix me somewhere so that I can be useful or else my allowance will be taken away."
We laughed at that. In our family, Eli is the laziest, work wise although he party alot.

"Then where are you going?"

"I have an appointment. Which reminds me," he now came directly in front of Khonde. "I need your car."

"What?"

"Your secret is safe with me older brother..."

"You are apiece of shit". Khonde roared. "You already got a phone, why my car now."

"Just for a few hours. I will bring it at your place, safe and sound. At least I will see your baby mama." He took the car keys and went out... I breathed deeply trying to erase the coming headache.

"I have a suggestion but I don't know if Mima will agree..."

Mima was now four months pregnant. Luckily she didn't have any mood swings. Just the normal morning sickness and she wasn't picky on eating either but the quantity has increased. She has been so clingy lately which made me so happy. At least she wasn't repulsive towards me and we have been on a friendly level. Yesterday she said that she needed to tell me something so I was going home directly from here. Maybe she wants us to rekindle our love again? I couldn't contain my happiness but the news I have been given now dampen my spirits. Hopefully she will agree with my idea.
