MUSA
I am tired from all the driving I need to nap but I miss Mandy also I want to tell her about my baby girl but I don't know how she'll feel because I still am to confess my undying love for her.
We get home, it is 7 pm and my princess is so sweet, she is not used to us that much but she is not fussy and all that. My phone rings and it is my stupid brother.

Musa: ukhala ngani. (what do you want)
Inkosi: hello to you too. How was your trip
Musa: exhausting I want to sleep.
Inkosi: you are home or at your place.
Musa: I am home but im thinking of leaving. I want to see Mandisa
Inkosi: speaking of her, I saw her today at Angela's event. Yah today I really saw her beauty

I chuckle
Musa: so you are checking my girl friend
Inkosi: not yet bafo
Musa: mxm eish bafo I feel like I'll be rushing her if I confess how I feel.
Inkosi: well you woudn't know until you do it. I think she likes you too, I mean the way she blushed when Mfundo said no wonder you are going crazy well theres love written to her face.
Musa: I really don't know hey and now I have to tell her about Nkanyezi.
Inkosi: ndoda just tell her and get over and done with because you still have to tell her about your other side hustles so start with the small ones and see how she reacts.
Musa: yeah you are right. Did you leave her at the event?
Inkosi: yah because she was the coordinator.
Musa: I should call her. Sharp.

I hang up and immediately call Mandy.
Mandisa: hey

She giggles and it does the things to uDladla omncan' (dick)
Mandisa: I miss you too.
Oh wow so that's how she takes it. No lies I miss her, since I last saw her Tuesday.
Musa: what are you up to.
Mandisa: I am driving back home, well more like Gugu is driving me back home.
I am lost as to who Gugu is until she rescues me.

Mandisa: she is part of the team that was decorating today so she asked for a lift and I abused her sort of.
She laughs. I could here Gugu protesting.
I laugh.
Musa: are you abusive Miss Makhanya.
She giggles. Oh My!!!! She needs to stop.
Mandisa: not like that hhawu Bab' Dladla.
Mhhh and then she calls me that.
Musa: I am on my way to you, 30 minutes.
Mandisa: a may I please come would have been nice anyway we just got into Tembisa so I guess I'll see you in a few.
I chuckle. She melts me this one.
Musa: well sorry for not asking. Next time I will.
Mandisa: bye.

Just like always, she hangs up on me. I am playing Linda- ngamthand' umuntu, well its my jam when I go to her.
I can't stop yawning, 30 minutes I get in her hood.  I text to say am outside cause I was 4 houses away. She comes out as I park.
Musa: no hug or kisss
She laughs with a blush.
Mandisa: no opening the door for me.
She shrugs her shoulders and I laugh.
Musa: well I am tired, I arrived not long ago and decided to come see you phela I was driving to Cape town.
Mandisa: what was the special occasion.

Oh I didn't expect that question but here we are.
Musa: something I should have told you long ago. I have a six months old baby girl that I went to fetch at Cape town.
She is shocked. I explain to her that her mother died a day after giving birth because she had cancer that was just discovered and lost some blood. I tell her that Nkanyezi's mom wished that I raised her since I got to have a talk with her after giving birth. I also tell her about our affair that lead her to being pregnant and finding out months later.
Mandisa: I am sorry for your loss. How is your Star.
Musa: she'll be okay. She's just not used to the environment but with my sister and mom's help she will come around I mean she is still young to be noticing a lot. I am just glad she will grow up here.
Mandisa: yeah she'll be okay.
I could see that she is lost in the moment. I take her hand and make her look at me.

Musa: I know we were growing fond of each other and I would understand if it changes how you feel, I mean it's only fair i.....
I didn't even finish she interrupts me.
Mandisa: nothing changes of how I feel about you Musa. Being honest with you I don't know if I was going to be okay with a baby mama who is around and still hanging out with you.
Oh she likes me that much heh.
Musa: I love you Mandy.
Oh shoot.
