Chapter 1

To think what I've been through you will wonder how I

completed my Computer Science degree at UKZN.
Partying and to go clubs like I knew it all my life but I
was doing my schoolwork very careful and willingly. I'm
a risk taker brave and a little of a loose cannon type of
a person. My upbringing was normal we were not poor
but not rich either. I was so happy when I received a
SMS that say "congratulations Ms N Mazibuko
graduation venue...." When I saw the word
congratulations I knew I made it........
Mom : "I'm happy for you my little princess"
Me : "Thanks mommy!" I was so happy to make my
mom proud of me even though she didn't trust me at
all okay she didn't say so but I knew in her deep
thoughts. Okay my name is Nompendulo Mazibuko
lighter in complexion with dark upper lip and a little bit
of pink in the lower lip but dark on the sides big eyes
I'm not small not big either and little big nose but my
nose fits perfectly in my face and I'm 26year I was born
and bred in Emakholweni Obanjeni Mtunzini in
KwaZulu-Natal. My lower and higher grade I completed
them at Obanjeni Primary School and Hlakaniphani
High School.I went to enrol at Ukzn for Computer
Science(famously known as IT). I have two best friends
okay I know its awkward normal people have one best
friend but the three of us are not normal. I confide in
2|Page
both I love them. Three of us means trouble. When we
completed at high school each of us has dreams so
dreams can take you everywhere. We promised to
keep in touch and update each other. Me and my
friends okay me each of us has dreams so dreams can
take you everywhere. We promised to keep in touch
and update each other. Me and my friends okay me
Thabitha Mthembu and Nokwethemba Gumede. The
"No-Tha-No" that meant trouble when were at high
school. I remember the other day we had to be at
some other girl because she was seen speaking with
Nokwe's boyfriend that time were at grade 9. Three of
us was bright in high school. I loved Computer Science
Thabi loved Economics and Nokwe loved Accounting. I
went to UKZN Thabi went to UCT and Nokwe wanted
UJ but her parents forbidden her so we went to Ukzn
the both of us. To have friends that support you even
in bad times and tell you the truth even you don't want
to. Those are that you must keep. I've been struggling
to get a job after so I decided to go home for a week
maybe just to clear my head a little. Sometimes it hurts
to see you peers around the neighbourhood but yonke
into ineskhathi sayo. I struggled in that 4 years studying
and I’m still struggling to get a job. This country has
high percentage of youth unemployment. It’s hard to
ask for money when you still in school and still ask for
money when you are graduate.
Granny : Awuvuke ngeke ulale kuze kushone

ilanga(wake up you won't sleep the whole day)
Thabi: "Okay the job is here in Cape Town Urg I forgot
I'm at home and if don't wake up she will be on your
case the whole day.
Granny: "Your breakfast is in the microwave"
My grandmother is Thembekile Xulu who was born and
bred here at Obanjeni. She is my father's mother. My
father passed away when I was 5 years old. I have a
sister who is old than me and her name is Nontuthuko
Mazibuko.
Nontu : "I got a job"
Me: "Wow! I'm happy for you mtase"
Granny: "Praise God!" as she entered in the kitchen.
My grandma and mom are Christian so wear but my
sister and I don't go to church more often.
Nontu: "I got the job in Jo'burg" Silence
Granny: "I hope you will come to visits us don't you
ever think you will go and never look back I'll come
myself to drag you there" We burst in laugh because
she always thinks the bad things that can happen.
I love her so much. Being raised by women makes you
learn the most important and powerful things in life.
My grandma and my mother are the strong women I
know. They taught us respect love important of family
independent. My I was raised my grandma because my
mother was working so far from home so I know how
to do all the house chores. My mother is Nontokozo
Ndlovu born and bred here. She works at Jo'burg as at

Cleaner at KK Animals. KK Animal is a company that is
focused on Agricultural products and stuff. She took
care of us with everything she had. Lord knows him
much I love her. Being the last child is great but all the
focus is on you because everyone thinks you too
spoiled to so anything by yourself but I won't mind I'll
take care of myself. Just to think I was a problem child
back then but now I'm a woman who is responsible
and who is willing to take care of her family and take
care of herself.

Chapter 2

Thabi: Mngani (friend)

Me: “Hey friend” in a sleepy voice
Thabi: “I'm sorry to wake you up I can call another
time”
Me: “Its fine friend”
Thabi: “I have some good news for you”
Me: “Okay”
Thabi: “Andile got you an IT job. He says it will l take
six....”
5|Page
Me: “Yeeeeeeees thanks friend!” I screamed.
Me: “It’s okay friend I'll take the job” I was so happy
Thabi : “Send your documents on my email now. I must
go friend”
She hung up after. I was smiling.
Andile Dlamini is Thabitha's boyfriend. They have been
together for 3 years now. Andile has a company
called Dlamini Attorneys. He is a lawyer by profession
and Thabitha is Economist perfect combination.
We once met him at Durban it was Thabitha's birthday
so they celebrated her birthday with us(me
and Nokwe). He spoils her and she is happy with him.
I must call my boyfriend and tell him the good news
Him: “Babe”
Me: “Hey sthandwa how are you?”
Him: “I'm good babe and how are you?”
Me: “I'm good too. I must tell you something”
Him: “Okay”
Me: “I got a job at Cape town; it will be 6 months after
that I'll come back”
Him: “Okay. I'm happy for you”
That's a bit cold
Him: “I must go I'll call you later” hung up after
I don’t understand him sometimes.
-------------------

I decided to go to Durban to get my clothes in my flat.

It’s not my flat we share the flat with Nokwe.

She is not staying there because she is doing in-service
in Jo'burg. She called me yesterday and I told
her about Cape Town.
I decided to go to the gym the first for three weeks
before I go to Cape town I might find my soulmate
there so I must look good when I'm there. At 6:00am I
woke up and prepare to go to the gym Virgin Active at
the Workshop. After 15 minutes I was there and
started to workup. When I was done and
got up I missed the step and I hurt my ankle...
"Sorry sisi" someone said after caught me the time I
was about to fall
It the guy who caught me.
Guy: “What happened?”
Me: “I missed a step and hurt my ankle”
I explained what happened
The Guy: “Sorry let me help you to stretch your ankle”
Me: It's fine
The Guy: “I insist come here to sit on the bench
I missed the step and I hurt my ankle...
"Sorry sisi" someone said after caught me the time I
was about to fall
It the guy who caught me.
Guy: “What happened?”

The Guy: “I insist come here to sit on the bench I'll help
you”
The guy taking my foot and its landed on his lap. He
took of takkies I was wearing and sock.
Me: "Okay"
He massaged my ankle and it feels better now. His
hands are warm and they are perfect for this kind
of things
Me: “Thank you”
I took my foot off from his lap.
The Guy: “I'm Samkelo and you are?”
Me: “I'm Nompendulo”
Awkward moment I don't know him.
Me: “Thank you so much for stretching my ankle. I say
getting up ready to go but I was limping and
City Life was far away with this limping and sore ankle
but I must go”
Samkelo: “Where do you stay?”
Me: “City Life Smith street” He is looking me with one
eyebrow raised
Why I'm telling him where I stay what if he steals me
Samkelo: “I'll take you there you can't walk like thi....”
Me: I can walk
Samkelo: “Stop being stubborn I will take you there”
Me: “Okay...”
We walk to the parking lots he stands next to black
Jaguar XF. He opens the door at passenger sit is it
and he close the door and he get to the driver's sit and
8|Page
starts the car. I say the quick prayer in my mind
in case this Samkelo guy kills me and bury me
somewhere I don't know....
Samkelo: “Nompendulo what a beautiful name”
I was thinking hard imagining myself lying there and
my family don't know where I am...
Me: “Nice car hey” I was looking around the car
Samkelo: “Thank you”
Silence
Samkelo: “Ngicela ungipha inumber yakho(can I please
have your number)”
Me: “Why?”
Samkelo: “So that we can be gymmates”
Me: “No”
He parks in front of my flat's building and he locks the
doors.
Me: “What now?”
Samkelo: “Your number please” he says with a smile
looking*
Father God!
Me: “Please unlock the door” I say in an irritated voice.
This guy will be dead of me
I wish I can slap his face right now. We stayed the 15
minutes in his car for said no to him about me
giving him my number. After 30 minutes I decided to
give him my number because I wanted to go to
take a bath.
Samkelo: “Thank you Nkosazana(princess)” he says
9|Page
with the big smile on his face He unlocked the door
and I started to walk when I saw about to enter in the
building he drove off. I shook my head.
When I entered in my room I received a call to an
unknown number....
"Hey it me Samkelo "
"Okay Samkelo"
"Have a wonderful day nkosazana "
"Okay" I hung up after.
This guy is......I went to take a bath.
He's cute with light complexion and he has
muscle(isgora) but not too much. He's sexy with a
deep
voice and he has beautiful teeth. His hands are warm
and gentle. Why I'm thinking about him because
I have a boyfriend..........
I went out to do some little things before I go to Cape
Town. Samkelo keep crossing my mind I don't
know why I'm thinking about him maybe he is a serial
killer who kill women and take body parts and
make medicine for wealthy. No wonder he drives
Jaguar XF.

Chapter 3

I last spoke to my boyfriend last week when I told him

10 | P a g e
the great news but he wasn't happy at all but I think
it’s because of me going far away from him. Let me
introduce him. His name is Lulonke Mkhwanazi he's 28
years old and he is studying through Unisa but he is
working at Mr Price at Eshowe. He’s from Mtunzini
Emoyeni and he lives with his parents at home. He
loves me so much and we started to date 5 years ago.
He's spoiling me with presents birthday or not
Valentine's day or not he spoils me. He's the one who
broke my virginity 4years ago. He decided to further his
studies through Unisa because he is working so Unisa
was the best decision. Our love is strong in despite of
everything that has happened between us. He cheated
I don't know how many times I used to cry when I
found out that he is cheating. We decided that I had to
come and visit him at Emoyeni and I will not go home.
Today it’s Friday I went to Durban station and catch the
taxi to Gingindlovu. I met him at Gingindlovu at KFC
and then went to catch a taxi to Emoyeni separately
because I didn't want to see people who are my
neighbours a taxi. When I was resting in his chest my
phone rang...Its Samkelo and I don't want Lulonke to
be upset and he's very jealous.
Me: “Hello”
Him: “Unjani sweetheart (how are you sweetheart)?”
Me: “I'm good and you?"
Him: “I'm good too. Are you ready for us to hit a gym"
Me: “No I'm not hitting a gym in the afternoon and
11 | P a g e
anyway I'm not even in Durban I'm at home"
Him: “Okay tell me when you in Durban”
Me: “Okay bye” My heartbeat fast now because I
thought he will throw silly tantrums.
Lulonke: “Who was that?”
Me: “Some friend who want us to hit the gym but I told
her I'm not even in Durban”
Lulonke: "Okay" in a sleepy voice. No wonder he didn't
say much because this man can talk until the dawn if
he like. Moy'ngcwele!(holy ghost). We spoke about my
new job that I got in Cape Town. He understood the
situation. I saw that the phone was in silent mode and I
don't know why but my suspicions about him are never
wrong. He went out to buy airtime for his mother. I
quickly jumped into his phone. His password on his
phone is my name. "Hey babe" the first message reads.
"I miss u too babe. I'll come fetch you when she goes
back to Durban. I know it’s wrong of me to say that but
I promise you that I'll break up with her to prove my
love to you" the second message read. The number is
saved as Nokuthula. I took screenshots of messages
and sent the screenshots to my number and deleted
screenshots. When he came back I was so angry but
the thing is I was so calm about it. I confronted him and
he denied and he saw the screenshots on my phone
and he said he was sorry it’s just that I'm too far from
him that's why this bitch is dating with him. After I
confronted him on Saturday night I packed my things
12 | P a g e
and I slept in a sofa. I cried all the night and he begged
me to stay and he wanted us to fix things and he said
he'll breakup with this Nokuthula chick. Sunday I
packed my things and I slept in a sofa. I cried all the
night and he begged me to stay and he wanted us to fix
things and he said he'll breakup with this Nokuthula
chick. Sunday I took my things and went to Durban I
was so angry. I hitchhiked to Durban luckily I got a taxi
from Eshowe and it was not full. When I was in a taxi
he called and I dropped his calls. When I got in Durban
I decided to take a walk from YMCA rank to Workshop.
When I was at Pick n Pay in Workshop. I received
another call from this idiot called Lulonke and I hate
him so much in a moment. I decided to stay maybe an
hour at Workshop park. I received a call and I was
irritated and i didnt even check the caller id.
Me: “Yini ufunani (What? What do you want?)”
Samkelo: “Sweetheart what's wrong?” I sighed.
Me: “It’s nothing”
Samkelo: “It can't be nothing because you're angry
what's going on?” This guy is really pissing me off right
now
Samkelo: “Where are you?"
Me: “I can't talk right now”
I hung up immediately.
I ignored Lulonke's call messages and WhatsApp
messages it’s been a week now. I decided to hit a
gym to relieve stress. Today I'll go for a punching bag
13 | P a g e
because I'm still angry to that moron. When I
got to the gym I hit the punching bag until I cried and I
heard someone petting my shoulder......
"Why are you crying?"
When I turned around it's Samkelo
Me: “I'm not crying”
Samkelo: “You were crying Nompendulo”
He just pulled me in his chest and I just cried in his
chest. He went to take his bag and we went to his
car. He opened the door for me and he quickly came
and sit on driver's sit.
Him: “KaMazibuko what's going on?”
I was shocked that he knew my surname and I don't
know his surname. He just wiped my tears with
his thumbs. He looked me in my eyes and I dropped my
eyes. He has cute brown eyes and they are
deep if I can say.
Silence
Me: “Who told you my surname?”
Samkelo: “Why were you crying? I don't like to see you
crying”
We are still in a car and we just stayed there.
Me: “It’s personal and I don't like to talk about it”
Samkelo: “Okay its fine we won't talk about it but
promise me that you won't cry again”
Me: “I promise you I won't cry ever again”
He started the car and we went off. He parked in front
of my flat's building like last time.
14 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Why do you stay alone in that flat?”
Me: “How do you know that I'm staying alone?” I'm
shocked first it was surname now it this.
Samkelo: “I just know sweetheart” he folded his arms
Me: “Thanks for the lift”
He locked the doors AGAIN!I will strangle this guy
today I swear.
Samkelo: “When were you planning to tell me that
you're going to Cape Town?”
My eyes popped out.
Me: “I'll strangle you now if you don't tell me that
when you got all this information”
He laughed loud out.
Samkelo: “I'll be happy to be murdered by a beautiful
lady like you”
This moron will be dead of me.
Samkelo: “Okay I got some information about you but I
won't tell you how”
Me: “Mxm”
He unlocked the doors after having some awkward but
funny conversation.

15 | P a g e
Chapter 4

I forgave Lulonke because I love him and things are fine

between us. He came to Durban to visit me
at my place for one day and he left after that. We are
happy.
Samkelo and I were good friends and he's my gymmate
if there is something like that. He offers me
lunch at his place and I agreed I don't know why I
agreed to this madness. I don't know why I trust
him so much but I just trust him.
He picked me up at my place. He once mentioned him
staying at North Beach he owns an apartment
there. I never thought it was that beautiful and
furniture you can see that its expensive. At first when
I saw his car I thought it was his father's car. Okay now
I believe him that Jaguar belongs to him but I
still think that he's one of those spoiled brats who think
everything evolves around them.
Samkelo: “Lunch is ready!”
He shouted because I was going around looking this
beautiful place and everything in it is beautiful
including the owner. Don't ask me why I said that
*smiles*
Me: “Mhm that looks beautiful. Looking at the dining
table”
He's busy in the kitchen I don't know what's he doing
there. I'm hungry now. He dished up for me.
16 | P a g e
Me: “I thought there were other people coming”
looking at him
Samkelo: “No it’s me and you panda”
Whatever dude. I'm about to enjoy this delicious food
I'm staring
Samkelo: “I'm Samkelo Khumalo 31 years old” He says
as he sips his juice
Me: “I'm feeling guilty for not asking you that kind of
information. I just forgot about it and I'm enjoying
this food” laughing at him
Samkelo: “You're crazy do you know that?”
Me: “Dude come on if you not gonna kill me and bury
me I'm fine”
Samkelo: “You trust so easily I can see”
Me: “I'm not like that at all it’s just that you're free and
easy to talk to you”
Samkelo: “You're the first one to say that I must say”
I enjoyed the lunch that he prepared. He can cook
jealous down!
Samkelo: “I bought something for you”
He handed a small box to me. “Open it” The gift in
small box......Burberry watch!!!!!" *I screamed* He
just looked at me
Me: “It’s beautiful but I can't accept it”
Samkelo: “Please take it” In a pleading voice
Me: “I can't Samkelo”
Samkelo: “Please take it Nompendulo I bought it for
you and I won't take it back because when I saw
17 | P a g e
it I just saw you in it. Please take and I won't take no
for an answer”
Me: “I don't take gift from strangers” looking at him
Samkelo: “How can I be a stranger when I told you who
I am and besides I bought it because you're
my friend and next Monday you're are starting at work
so it’s a gift from me to you”
Me: “Okay thank you for lunch and for the gift....Thank
you” I blushed
When I was about to leave his place
I left the watch in the couch and we both left. He took
me back
to my place and it was 17:00pm when I entered in my
flat. I just laid in my bed thinking about the
amazing day I had with Samkelo....
I planned to sleep early today so I changed to my
pyjama short and its matching top then I slept. I was
woken by a knock in my door. On my mind I have too
many questions I have but in the end I must
open that door.
A knock again. I woke up and went to take a knife I
know that is extreme but I've never been woken
up at 23:23pm by a knock which I didn't knew about.
Me: “Who is it?”
"Open the door"
Maybe its urgent I quickly opened the door and he
came in.
Me: “And then? Who let you in here?”
18 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I'm here to give you the watch I bought for
you”
Really?
Me: “Currently of the night? Who let you in here”
angry tone?
Samkelo: “Why you left your gift?
Me: “Answer my question”
Samkelo: “Answer my question first maybe I’ll answer
yours just maybe”
When I tried to push him out he locked the door.
Me: “If you dare come near me I'll stab you to death”
He laughed and shook his head.
Samkelo: “I'm not a pervert I'm here to give you the
gift you left” he smiles
Me: “Well I don't want your gift”
Samkelo: “You don't like it? I can buy you anything you
like”
He doesn’t get it!
Me: “How can a lawyer be so slow like this? I'm sure
you always lose your cases in court”
He laughed out loud until tears came.
Samkelo: “Please give me your hand”
He stretched his left hand out.
Me: “Isandla semfene (left-handed)”
He smiled
Samkelo: “You so rude but it’s cute” What I’ve noticed
is he has a cute smile
Me: “Please go I want to sleep”
19 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Give me your hand then I will let you sleep”
I gave him my hand and he put a watch that he bought
for me.
Samkelo: “Stubborn at its best” He clapped once.
Me: “Okay leave now”
Samkelo: “Have a wonderful sleep”
Me: “Mxm”
He laughed and left my room. I'm so angry at him right
now who shows up in your place at this time
of the night and it confusing because I didn't tell him
my flat number and how did he get in here
because you must sign for the visitors in the ground
floor first.
I got in bed looking at this beautiful watch in my wrist
and I took it off before I sleep
Insert 7
I was woken up by my mom's call wishing me a safe
journey. Oh today is Sunday I'm going to Cape
Town. My flight is at 13:00pm. Thabitha sent me SMS
that she will pick me up at Airport.
I woke up I prepared for my journey .After getting
dressed I was about to call a cab to take me to King
Shaka Airport I received a called from Samkelo....
Samkelo: “I'm in front of your flat to pick you up to
Airport”
Oh God I wish this flat has another exit but no.
Me: “Okay”
I have one big suitcase with me and a handbag.
20 | P a g e
He was standing in the entrance of my flat. He took my
suitcase to his car boot. He opened the door
for me as usually and got in driver's sit and we drove
off. When we got there we have 30 minutes to
talk before I go. We kept talking after that the time was
up for us to talk. He hugged me tight and he
kissed my cheek.
I frowned. He laughs.
Samkelo: “You want me to say sorry?”
At least he knows
Samkelo: I'm not going to apologise for that you should
be the one who apologise to me because you
left your gift in my couch
Me: “Never! I folded my arms
Samkelo: “Okay we won't apologise to each other and
its cool. I will miss your stubborn ass yazi”
I hit him playful in the arm and he laughed.
Me: “Mxm!”
He promised to call me and I turned and walked away’
After I landed I called Thabi she was there already so
we hugged and laughed. She helped me to put
my luggage to her. She is driving there Mercedes
CLA200 the one the posted last month on WhatsApp.
Me: “Mngan your car is beautiful”
We got in a car then drove off.
Me: “Thanks mngan for everything”
Thabi: “I'm your friend so stop thanking me bitch” she
laughed
21 | P a g e
Me: “Awusho ke bitchikazi (so tell me bitch) how much
money your man has?”
She smacked me on the back of my head. One thing I
like about my friends we are so playful.
Me: “Ouch” I laughed while holding my head.
Thabi: “You're still stupid I see”
Me: “Your man is so strict yhooo. I'm sure I'm not
allowed to go to clubs and not to look any direction
that has boys”
Thabi: “Awushintshi wena (you will never change)”
She stops at some mansion. I take its her house. She
opens the gate any go to driveway. She parks and
we got off the car. She shouts at some two boys who
takes my luggage and disappear in this gigantic
house.
Holy ghost!
"Hi" a voice says.
As I turned it was Andile. I froze actually
Me: “Hi bhuti (brother) Andile”
He's not the hugging type. I can see. We laughed at
Thabitha when they were in Durban for Thabitha's
serious boyfriend.
Andile: “I'm going out babes” He went towards her
kissed her cheek.
Thabi: “Okay Sthandwa”
Andile: “I'll give you time to catch up” He says as walks
out the door.
We catched up with my friend and I told her about
22 | P a g e
Lulonke's nonsense she just laughed at. She told
me about how Andile is strict like those Aunt back at
home. She says she wants to know where she is
going who she is meeting up with. I told her about this
my newly found friend Samkelo.

Chapter 5

After I called family to tell them that I had a safe

journey. Andile came back he explained my job
description and I signed the contract. I'm the junior
assistant in the IT department at Dlamini
attorneys.
My first day at work was great but it’s gonna be hard
working with this Luxolo guy. I'm his assistant.
This guy is scary I don't know why but I'm scared of
him. The day went all although that Luxolo guy he
gives me Goosebumps.
Andile gave a lift so it’s quite someone needs to break
a nice
Andile: “So how was your first day?”
Me: “The day was good but that guy is something else”
I say in the backseat
Andile: “Luxolo?”
Me: “That guy is so strict and I'm scared of him”
Andile: “Don't mind him just do your job” He laughed
23 | P a g e
I laughed too
Andile: “He is so strict when it comes to work”
Like you too bru it’s just that you serious in everything
that you do. Snob. I said that in my mind.
When we enter at the house Thabi is not there. He says
I must come to his office in five minutes. When
I entered in his office
Andile: “Oh you here”
Me: “Yes I'm here”
Andile: “Please close the door”
Okay dude what's going on here. I went to close the
door and sat down.
Andile: “I need you to track someone” He turned the
laptop to my side
Me: “Mhm okay” I say starting to work on a given
assignment.
I have questions but I’m not going to ask
something......
Andile: “You can track him down using his cell phone”
He gave me a piece of paper.
It’s easy to do this because he has this MAC address for
that phone I’m supposed to track down.
Andile: “How long will it take?”
Me: “One hour to be exact”
I’m busy doing what I enjoy the most but what made
not to try to track that Lulonke's cell phone or to
hack his WhatsApp and I'll get what I need to know....
Me: “Reading....Loading.” I was tapping my fingers.

Andile: “Reading what?” He looked at me.
Me: “There it is. The cell phone is in Durban central
but it keeps changing the GPS coordinates. I think
this person is moving but not too fast and I think he is
walking because the coordinates change slowly”
I say focusing on the screen.
Andile: “Okay. What is the building or something he is
next to?”
Me: “Corner of Smith street and Doroth Nyembe street
next to Absa building” I say checking properly
Andile: “Okay. I need to know who is that person” He
brushed his head.
I took my phone and made a call to my old friend. We
were doing same course at varsity so he calls
in favours so am I.
Me: “Ntwana I need you to do favour for me”
Him: “Ufunani shlama?”
Me: “I need some information I'll send the IP address
to you now. Its urgent ntwana”
Him: “Okay check your e-mails in next 10 minutes” He
hung up after.
He works at Vodacom. He is an IT Technician there so I
have a great connection here. After 15 minutes
I got all the information I needed.
Me: “Sabelo Kubheka from kwa Nongoma he has some
great tracking/hacking skill. He has worked
for some other businessman” I glanced him.
Him: “Mhmmmm” He takes his phone and car keys. He
25 | P a g e
went out. Thabi came back after some long
time and started to cook. The dinner was ready and
Andile’s food was in the microwave.
It was the last week of the first month I came here. I
haven't gone out to club because of “Baba”
Andile. He said it was not safe for me to go out. He
promised to take us out but Thabi said he was very
busy with his work. Last night he said Friday were going
to Durban. He booked the three first class
tickets to Durban this coming Friday.
He summoned me at his office and he told me to close
the door behind me. He thanks me for
yesterdays for that I got that information about that
guy. He reacted strange though but I'm not asking
questions I'm just doing my job here.
He gave me the brown bag and I took it...
Andile: “Open it” He smiled.
I opened it and I saw ...the....
Me: “Where I'm supposed to take it to?” I say as I'm
shocked. I've never saw so much money in my
life.
Andile: it’s yours
Me: Sorry?
Andile: "Yes it’s you’re for the job you did yesterday
and that R50000 is a small change after what
you’ve done for me” he was smiling
Me: "Thank you I don't know what to say but thank
you” I got up.
26 | P a g e
I thank him for so much money he paid me for
yesterday. When we went home his house because
I'm stay in his house. Anyway tomorrow we flying to
Durban. After landing I went straight to Durban station
to catch a taxi to Gingindlovu. Its’ two hours’ drive. I
always fell asleep but today it’s different
I think it the money I'm carrying here. I was afraid to
fall asleep thinking that will be stolen.
I was relieved when we were heading at Dokodweni
Toll Plaza so soon enough I'll be at home. I decided
to get off at Shopping Centre at Gingindlovu. I decided
to deposit R5000 to my mother and R2500 to
my sister she will get the small amount because she is
working. I bought KFC because I'm tired I won't
be starting to cook when I get home.
I made grocery at Spar because its near to the Taxi
rank. When the taxi went by Emoyeni I missed my
Lulonke. My grandma was surprised to see me because
I didn't tell that I was coming home. Saturday
morning I lied that I was going to Gingindlovu but my
first stop will beat Emoyeni to see my man. He
was surprised when I called him yesterday that I'm at
home. My day was great before too many
questions.......
Lulonke: "Great watch and it looks expensive" he says I
don't know whether it came in a good or bad
place
Me: "Thanks babe"
27 | P a g e
Him: "Who bought it for you”
Me: "Thabi bought it for me when she first took me out
to the mall there"
Jehovah!
Him: "Okay..." He says the most annoying 'okay' I've
ever heard in my life like he doesn’t trust me at
all.
Sigh
We said our goodbyes but I hate goodbyes though. I
went to Gingindlovu to get something for a cover
up for my unholy ways. We promised each other that I
will stop by at Emoyeni maybe for an hour but
he cancelled in last minutes luckily I was at home by
the time he cancelled.
I get off to Shopping at Gingindlovu I need to eat so I
decided to go to KFC to eat and go to hitchhike
to Durban. I went to KFC when I entered there
I was at home by the time he cancelled.
I get off to Shopping at Gingindlovu I need to eat so I
decided to go to KFC to eat and go to hitchhike
to Durban. I went to KFC when I entered there I saw
someone like Lulonke but I thought it because I
was thinking about him. I went to place my order and I
got it early I didn't wait too long. I picked the
table to stay to. I heard someone laughing like
Lulonke.
Okay Nompe....Breath in....Breath out you to be calm. I
decided to take my handbag and my meal
28 | P a g e
because I needed to check this voice I'm hearing.
Oh wow!
Me: “Sanibonani (hello)” calmly
He told me that that girl I saw in his phone wash is
cousin that's why he was sitting with her having
lunch with him. I told him that I don't have time for his
nonsense. I went to hitchhike after some time
I got a taxi from Eshowe again.
I was angry at him and I don't want to talk to him. I
sent a text to Samkelo
“Hey. Are you available today?”
He calls after that message I sent him.
Him: "Where are you?" he says in a very deep and sexy
voice but he sounds as if I woke him up
Me: "I'm on my way to Durban. I'm at Dokodweni Toll
Plaza "
Him: "You crazy you're so far away but I'll do lunch
with you sweetheart " he laughed and hung up
I like his voice or I like him or I have a crush........
Nompe you're crazy now just calm down with this
nonsense but damn the guy is damn hot! Just to think
about his beautiful dark lips to die for his broad
shoulders and that chest. I even forgot that I was angry
at that moron.
I called Thabi and she said our flight is at 15:30pm so I
must do lunch because its 11:20.
I went to ground floor and waited for him at the
building entrance. When I saw him coming towards
29 | P a g e
me? He was wearing a ripped dark grey jean a mustard
long-sleeve T-shirt a black k-way warmer and
black Police boots I froze when he hugged me but I'm
glad he didn't notice anything because he was
just himself. I'm the one who took him out for lunch so
MacDonald by the way and I'm paying. After
having lunch he received a call that made him less
happy than he was at first. He took me to my place
after that and he said he was in hurry and he will call
me. I was worried about him but I don't like
what am doing because I have a boyfriend or I say
childish boyfriend but I should be focusing to fix
our relationship but I'm busy thinking about Samkelo.
Thabi and Andile picked me up at my flat and went to
airport. All the way I was happy that I'm leaving
all my problems behind when I say problem I’m
referring to Lulonke because he's nothing but trouble.
He called he and he apologized for what happened and
I started to believe his story but me knowing
that anything is possible with that one I'm in between
but I forgave him because I love him so much.
He froze when he me saw in front of their table. Holy
ghost it that girl I saw in his phone yesterday.
Lulonke: “Hi”
Me: “Lulonke is this a reason you cancelled our plans
for today?” I’m still calm
Lulonke: “Nompe it's not what you think” He got up
and took me outside.
30 | P a g e
Him: “I'm sorry babe it’s not what you think” He took
my hand trying to apologize but I yanked it from him.

Chapter 6

Everything was going well at work and my love life is

doing good. I've been here for three months now
but still no clubbing because of Andile. He went on
business trip to Durban for 3 days so it’s me and
Thabi. I cooked supper today for my friend to thank her
for everything. After that we went to sit at tv
room. She went to the kitchen and she came with a
wine and two glasses.
Me: “We are free from Bab’Andile is not here” I say
waving my hand
Thabi: “You can say that again”
We talk about our love lives
Thabi: “I miss my man but the is so strict shame” she
laughed as she says that
Me: “Haaah I won't survive that sweetheart”
She smacked my head.
Me: “Ouch”
I told her about Lulonke’s recently saga she just
laughed at me. The three of us as friends everything
is good for us. We catch up when Andile is not around.
31 | P a g e
We use Skype most of the time. Nokwe told us
about her new boyfriend. She is dating a Xhosa guy and
she likes to imitate the guy’s voice and accent.
She loves him I can tell you.
Me: “Mngan there is some guy and he is cute....” I sip
on my wine
Thabi: “Speak!!”
Me: “He is Samkelo and he is a lawyer”
She just looks at me and I know she says “continue”
Me: “He is lighter in complexion has muscle dark lips
gentle hands...” I say rolling my eyes and laugh
at what I'm saying actually
Thabi: “You bitch you che.......” She says looking at me
like her eyes are about to pop out
Me: “No silly! I met him at the gym and I hurt my ankle
so caught me when I almost fell and he
massage my ankle and stretched it and gave me a lift
to my flat. He locked the car doors and wanted
my number so it’s like that” I blushed.
Thabi: “Ncooah you like him and I know that” she
clapped her hands loudly.
Me: “I have a man”
Her: “Arggh that pig who always cheat on you when he
gets a chance. Leave him and date with S-a-m�k-e-l-o”
she says I smacked her hear after saying that but I
know that she is telling me the truth but I
still love him.
Thabi: “Is he there one who bought you an expensive
32 | P a g e
Burberry watch?”
Me: “Yes as a present to my new job” I blushed
Thabi: “He has an expensive taste if I can say and you
will make a great couple” she's smiling and
shaking her head.
Me: “I won't dump my man for him. I love Lulonke with
all my heart and I can't imagine my life without
him” I poured another third glass of wine.
Thabi: “Mxm”
I call my family almost every day. I love them so much
and I like to spoil them so next month it is
Andile’s birthday so I’m helping Thabi to plan a surprise
party for 33 years old. He’s going to freak out
when we say “surprise” to him.
Me: “He is a snob” I whisper to Thabi pointing to
Andile
Thabi: “And too strict but in bed he’s so wild” she
laughed
I smacked her head
Thabi: “What?” She laughs and I went to my room
I decided to call my man....
Me: “Hey babe”
“Hi” a female voice says......Lord help me!!!!!!!
Me: “Who is this?” I say calmly
Her: “I'm Nokuthula and you are?” she says with an
attitude
Me: “I'm Nompe. Can I speak to Lulonke?”
Her: “He is at work try again later” she says with bitchy
33 | P a g e
attitude
Me: “Why his phone is with you?”
Her: “I'm his girlfriend and we exchanged our cell
phones”
I'm going to lose my mind right now. I just cried. I tried
to call him but he didn't pick up my calls but
she said he is at work. At 20:20pm he returned to my
call
Me: “Hello”
Silence
Me: “I tried to call you earlier on but another girl
answered and she said she is your girlfriend” I said
calmly and I'm about to cry now. I thought maybe I'm
dreaming or that girl was pranking me.
Him: “She is my girlfriend”
I felt like I was losing my mind and I felt my world
crumbling down on me. I've never been hurt like
this in my life. I thought he was pranking me but he
was not......
Him: “Kukhona okunye (is there something else)?”
Me: “Nop”
Him: "Good I need to sleep now and please stop calling
from now on" He said and hung up
I've never cried in my life like that. I wished I listened
to my friends when they told me that he was not
good for me. After this what am I going to do or try to
move on. I was so heartbroken hurt disappointed
hating him so hard for this 5 year of waste.
34 | P a g e
I'm glad he told me himself. I told Thabi about this
break up she was comforting and supporting me
through that time. I deleted his numbers and his
photos and our photos. That was the first step I took
to my healing process. Luckily they had a gym on this
gigantic house so I went there to punch the
punching bag until I cry. That helps me a lot.
Andile's surprise party distracted me and helping Thabi
helped me a lot.
At the office when I was coming towards Luxolo yes
that guy who is always serious. He jumped and
almost fell from the chair when I touched his shoulder.
Luxolo: "What is it? Don’t sneak upon me like that" he
is furious
Me: "Boss said I must tell you to come to him now"
Him: "Okay. Did he told you why you must call me?”
Me: “No”
Why he was so jumpy and ask me so many questions
on why he is being summoned by the boss. I
don't trust him if I can tell. No one touches his laptop
why? If I get free time I must research and dig
on this guy. He only answers the landline but his cell
phone rings and he barely touched it when it
rings
Its Friday and the last day of the working days and
tomorrow its Andile’s birthday so I must buy him a
gift for his birthday. He welcomed me on his house and
he takes me like his younger sister. There's this
35 | P a g e
annoying friend of him and I don't want him near me
he’s been asking me out and I told him that
even he was the last man on earth I will never date
him. I forgot about my stress when I’m around
people but when I'm alone I just cry. It’s been two
weeks after we broke up. It’s still new but its feels
like it happened yesterday but the say time heals.
Okay its Saturday morning and we woke up first me
and Thabi to finalise everything for tonight. Thabi
spoke with Kat who is Khethokuhle and he is Andile’s
best friend. I saw him twice. He was in Argentina
for business trip for a week and he came back on
Thursday. He is residing here in Cape Town I don't
know where because I don't know this place and
thanks to Andile
Kat is strict like his friend here and they are scary in an
indescribable way but they are friendly but
there is something about them. Next weekend I'm
going to Durban I need to clear my head I can't
carry on this way. Nokwe is coming today for Andile's
birthday but Thabi has no clue. I gave her
address.
After they went out Kat and birthday boy the catering
and the décor people came in after they drove
off. The put a white stretch tent and organized the mini
bar on the stretch tent and chairs. The is one
long table and Phoenix chairs it was on Patio and
theme was clear . The main course is breast meat or
36 | P a g e
beef with mushroom sauce with broccoli and
cauliflower. Drinks are from soft to strong drinks.
Nokwe
is here bubbly as always and guys were looking at her.
After two hours Kat sent a text to Thabi telling
her that they are at entrance gate. We disappeared to
the house to hide.
The front door opened
Andile: “Heee my Queen said happy birthday only no
present kiss or sex. I think she is pregnant....”
“SURPRISE!!!!!”
Silence
Andile: “Zirhama!”
Thabi: "Happy birthday my love”
Thabi went towards Andile looking gorgeous in a long
beige silk dress with black high heels and gold
studs.
Andile: “Thank you my love” They shared a kiss
Ncooah they are in love and they make a great couple.
Andile is blessed to have Thabi in his life and
he is treating her like a glass. He tried to convince her
to quit her job but she said no.
The guys are here with their wives’ others with
girlfriends looking gorgeous. They know Thabi but they
don’t know me. I'm wearing a dust pink dress with
cream red bottom high heels and tied my thick
braids but my mind not there but Nokwe came to me
and I told her everything. Thabi introduced me
37 | P a g e
us as her best friends Me and Nokwe.
Party went well. Kat said S.K said he must apologize in
his behalf for not coming he has some business
to take care of. Other guy he said some words like Kat
for apologises . Nokwe and I were sipping wine
as Kat came towards us he greeted and introduced
himself and we did that too. I was so bored at the
end but others came to say their goodbyes. Mxm
snobs. I went to the bathroom downstairs. I heard
the guys speaking. I couldn't hear the other voices....
Andile: “I think I got the IT guru”
Guy: “We don't want an amateur here mjita”
Andile: “She is the one who found Sabelo Kubheka
Another guy: “We have to meet up tomorrow to
discuss this”
I’m the one who found that Sabelo Kubheka. They
think I’m an amateur. Why Andile says “for us” who
is this us referring to? I have many questions that
needs answers. Sometimes he goes out at midnight
and comes back at ewe hours. Something doesn't add
up here.

Chapter 7

I’m in the office and now I’m keeping a close eye to

Luxolo. He is not jumpy to me only but to everyone
here. When he goes out he takes his laptop with him.
Okay. Let me test him...
38 | P a g e
Me: “Can you please lend me your laptop I need some
file and my laptop has a technical problem”
Luxolo: “I'm not sharing my laptop with anyone here
and it won't start with you!” He said furiously.
Me: “Okay sorry”
This start to confirm something to me even though I
must make some diggings. The day was slow
today but it knocks off time. I called a taxi because
Andile has meeting to attend but it’s after hours
now.
What I think now is Andile has some “other” business
besides the Dlamini attorneys and I think there
are some threats he has but maybe I'm speculating.
When I came home Thabi was not back yet but she said
she will order something to eat on her way
back so I better do my work.
I got Luxolo’s surname. He is Luxolo Mbangatha from
Eastern Cape and he is very rude .He is an IT
guru that one but I’ll get bottom of this tonight. I went
to get my laptop so I start to find something
on this Sabelo Kubheka who stress Andile.
I have his MAC address so I have something to work
on. I know his location but the thing I must do is
to hack his emails. I changed my VPN on my laptop so
it won't point back to me and I'm using dark
Web so its untraceable.
Me: “Reading Obtaining IP address Loading....”
“Yes” I say I’m talking to myself.
39 | P a g e
I managed to hack his emails but it was hard to hack
him but I was taught by the best hacker I ever
known. I found loopholes in his firewalls so I was in.
Whoaaaaaa!
“E-mail from Luxolo” me reading out loud
I wonder who is this Luxolo?
“I got the bank statements for Dlamini attorneys but
we will discuss when I'm at Durban next
weekend” I read not loud. Why he has Dlamini
attorneys bank statements.
Wait……. The only Luxolo who is in Dlamini attorneys
and he is IT department. What is the connection
between him And Finance department?
“I think his laundering money with this company and I
also managed to plant listening devices in his
offices” I read. My suspicions were right about him.
Thabi came later from work and minutes later Andile
came in. I want to talk to him about this but I’ll
talk about it in the morning.
In the morning I did my daily routine and got ready to
go to work.
When he started to drive out....
Me: “Bhuti Andile”
Andile: “Yes sisi”
Me: “What I'm about to say might change everything
but I think you have to know this” I’m scared to
say this but…
Andile: “I'm not dying right”
40 | P a g e
After he said that I didn't laugh.
Andile : “Okay”
I took a deep sigh.
Me: “Luxolo is snitching on you to Sabelo Kubheka. I
have some emails that proves on what I’m saying”
Silence.
I’m regretting why I told but it was a must….
Andile: “Are you sure? Wait we will talk about when
we got to the office” I heard panic in his voice
Me: “Your office has listening devices and that was
mentioned in one of emails”
Andile: “Fuck!” he hit a steering wheel out of
frustration
I continued
Me: “Worst part is he thinks you laundering money
through you company. He has the actual bank
statements for the last six months not the revised one
by the auditor”
Andile: “Geez” He is angry about this matter. He goes
to some Estate houses. He said I must call in sick
today and I did as he said.
We got to this beautiful house with an expensive taste
in everything in it. He made some few calls.
After 30 minutes the guys were here and were at Kat's
house I noticed because he was wearing gown.
My phone rings oh God its Samkelo....
Me: “Hey”
Him: “How are you”
41 | P a g e
Me: "I’m good can I please call you later. Duty calls"
Him: “Okay. Have a nice day”
Me: “Same to you"
I say and hung up
Kat: “How did you find out about Sabelo”
Me: “Andile said I must track him so I did that”
I took a seat. I think they don't trust me but I must
prove myself.
Me: “I’m going to be honest to you guys” I’m scared
because there about 13 guys here and I think they
are armed but I’m going tell the truth anyway.
Me: “After Andile said I must track Sabelo Kubheka I
saw that he was stressed about it. Luxolo was
behaving strange if I can say I even tested him to try to
borrow his laptop but he said no he only
answer the landline but when his cell phone rings he
don't answer it and that gave me suspicions and
I decided to hack Sabelo again without Andile's
permiss.....”
Kat: “Who gave you permission to hack him?” He said
with an irritated tone
Me: “No one gave me the permission”
Kat: “Get out of my house!”
Me: “I think Andile has another business on the side
that why they have his company’s bank
statements and planted hearing devices in his office. I
think they are ganging up on him to bring him
down” I say still on my seat I haven’t moved any bit
42 | P a g e
Silence
Other guy: “How do you know about Andile's other
business?”
Kat: “I said GET OUT!” he roared.
Andile: “Kat bra there's no need for that she managed
to trace Sabelo and She’ll help us and we need
her so please man”
They all went to speak in private after some while they
came back where I was.
Kat: “Okay you can stay and help us but I need to trust
you” He says to me.
My skills will Speak for me.
Another guy: “We need to ask her some questions
boss”
Me: “Asking many questions won't help Andile with
anything. Right now
I need my laptop laptop’s
charge and comfortable place where I can start to work
and a strong black coffee with no sugar” I was
looking at Kat.
I've never been so brave in my life. I was offered a
place to work in Dining room are so I started to
work. I'm glad he hadn't seen there is a parasite in his
system.
Me: “Guys!”
They all come in once.
Me: “Guys Sabelo and Luxolo are working for Kagiso
Maite....”
43 | P a g e
Them: “What!” they all say in once
Me: “Who is Kagiso Maite?”
Kat: “None of your business”
Silence
I see anger in all the men here I don't know why. I wish
one of them can speak now
Andile: “Kagiso Maite is a gang leader from our rival
gang”
Me: "So why are you freaking out?”
Kat: “We not going to discuss serious matters with
you”
This Kat guy hates me I can say that. He is fighting with
me even if I'm trying to help them. I'm sure
they are scared this Kagiso. I'm in the fourth cup of
black coffee. So I checked Andile's firewall is easy
to crack even amateur can crack it.
Me: “I found so many loopholes in your system’s
firewall and it’s easy to crack. Its Luxolo’s job was to
make sure we don't have loopholes but I think he made
it intentionally for that Sabelo have easy
access to emails and everything that is happening at
work and in your life”
Kat: “Wow!” he said with a sigh
Me: “He knew about the Diamond deal because you
sent an email to Phila saying that diamond deal
is on so that he to arrange a meeting with the guys" I
say looking at laptop's screen.
Andile “That's why it was cancelled on last minute......”
44 | P a g e
Other Guy: “And that Rhino horn's deal was also
cancelled”
They talked about other deals that needs to be
postponed for this. They must talk about fake deals
using Andile's mailbox so that Kagiso's gang have false
information.
I got an e-mail that was sent to Kagiso by Sabelo so I
tried to hack Kagiso's email and I got the
information about their server so I think I know what
to do now but I must discuss everything with
the guys
Me: “Guys I hacked Kagiso's emails so I have everything
I need so...I.....”
Kat: “Yhuu this girl” he clapped once
Me: “What now? Do you think you can do this better
than me or are you undermining me?” I’m calmly
but irritated now
Silence
Me: “I can jam their gadgets to get all the information
they have on you”
If Kat thinks I'm going to need his permission to do my
“job” he can think again. I was taught by the
genius to hack. Rambo taught me the hacking skills I'm
talking about the guy who hacks anything like
Absa UKZN even his girlfriend’s WhatsApp in fact all
her social apps he even hacked his mother's
WhatsApp because she reduced his allowance but he
stopped when he saw his mother's nude pictures
45 | P a g e
being send to his father. LOL. So Kat can back off
Andile: “Do what you have to do Nompe”
After 30 minutes I was done. I formatted all the
information they have on Andile and gave them a
bonus and formatted everything on their gadgets and I
made it look like fault and formatted the
everything on Kagiso's cloud account so they have
nothing and its untraceable. I out done myself
today. I called in few favours but with my friends
everything is possible.
-----------
I woke up early just to check that everything is under
control after what I did yesterday. I went to take
a shower when I checked the time on my phone I saw
Samkelo’s missed call...
Me: who died.
Him: “No one died”
This guy though.
Him: “Mhm okay I missed your voice that's why I called
you this early”
Holy ghost.
Me: “Sorry for not getting back to you. I slept early
yesterday. In fact I slept fully dressed I was so
tired”
Him: “Sies ulale ungagezile (you didn't bath yesterday
before you sleep)” he is just being himself right
now
Me: “I was tired nje and to dodge one day won't hurt
46 | P a g e
anyone”
Him: “I miss you especially when you laugh yaz (you
know)”
That's my cue to go
Me: “I have to prepare to....go...”
Him: “Okay nana have a wonderful day then”
Me: “Have a wonderful day too” I hung up after
I don't know why Samkelo call me almost every day
just to check up on me. Really? It’s nice to receive
a call from someone each an everyday but I find it
awkward when he calls but I like his deep voice and
everything about him actually but I need to be single
for a year just to get over my ex and pick up the
pieces and then I'll be ready to do anything.
Thabi: “We need to go or else you will be late” She says
she is giving the lift to work today because
Andile has an “early meeting”
I guess Thabi don’t know about Andile’s shadiness and I
guess she is better that way because she will
lose it. She is sweet and caring but if you mess with her
or put her life in danger she loses it big time.
Me: “Okay I'm coming now”
I went downstairs and after that we drove off. There is
a helper but she comes on Monday
Wednesday and Friday. Their house is a gigantic single
storey the décor in it is Thabi’s taste from the
kitchen to curtains and dining room and cutlery but
tiles furnish it is Andile’s expensive taste.
47 | P a g e
Their house is in Fancourt Estate in Gorge in
prestigious links Avenue
Thabi: “On Andile's birthday party I saw Kat talking to
you”
Me: “Mxm that serious idiot” I rolled my eyes
Thabi: “I think he likes you”
If she knew how much the guy hate me for knowing
their “business” without their permission. I hate
him too for asking too many questions instead of
thanking for helping them to find a rat in their house.
Me: “No mngan I don't think so plus he is not my type”
Thabi: “Samkelo is your type?” she was stealing
glances.
Me: “Hawu ngangikutshelelani (I don't know why I told
you)”
She laughs at me and I joined in .In minutes l was at
work and Wednesdays are the most boring days
to me. I plan my trip to Durban on the weekend to
pamper myself after earning another R50000 from
Andile so I booked the flight for Friday. I saw Luxolo at
his desk and I'm sure he doesn’t know that his
days are numbered in this company. I think I will get
promotion when he is gone.
Andile and Kat decided to when there is a meeting I
must make sure that there is a technical problem
and delete his work so they Andile can fire him fair and
square. I did what I was supposed to do and
put my plan on motion.
48 | P a g e
Luxolo: “Arggh” he is irritated and not himself today.
Me: “What is it?” I asked him. He is pissed off and his
facial expression says that too.
Him: “Nothing”
Whatever dude I don't give a damn to your “issues”. Its
knockoff time so I was waiting for Andile in
the parking lot I told him about angry Luxolo....
Andile: “Yeah I called him in the meeting saying that
I'm experiencing a technical problem and he
wasn't able to fix it"
Me: “I knew it. No wonder he was so angry an IT guru
being beaten on his own game” I laughed
Thanks to Rambo.
Andile: “Thank you for going that far to help me” I told
him about my trip he said he is giving a Monday
off but I must call in sick at the office. What kind of the
boss that tells you to dodge work?

Chapter 8

They took me to airport and my flight was at 20:00 pm

to Durban. I called a cab after landing and when
I got to my flat I had to clean first so ate the food that I
bought in Cape. I called my family but I didn't
tell them that I’m in Durban I just wanted to be alone.
At 23:00pm I went to sleep.
At 03:00am I woken up by a beep on my phone “leave
49 | P a g e
my man alone” I read out loud it’s a SMS. Nxaa
whoever this bitch is pissing me off. Firstly I'm single
and who is this. I must call this number now....
Me: “Who am I talking too?” I’m irritated.
Voice: “Nokuthula Lulonke’s girlfriend”
Me: “Nxaa listen here wena doti (you rubbish) we
broke up with that useless man of yours so leave me
alone” I say and hung up.
I don’t have time for useless bitch. Her man left me for
her so I won't entertain her. I’m angry in a
way I won’t fall asleep so I check my emails and I close
my laptop. I must think about this bitch and I
don't know what to do next.
In the morning I went to the bank and I deposited
another R5000 to my mother R2500 for grocery at
home and R3000 to my grandma. I receive a call while I
was inside the bank
Lulonke: “What exactly do you from my girlfriend?” he
snapped. He must not test me. That bitch of
his is the one who called me
Me: “Lalela (listen) Lulonke your floozy called me at
03:00am and I don't like...” I say calmly but in deep
voice with anger
Lulonke: “Nompe I know you're the one that called
Nokuthula and I want to know why!”
Me: “I told you that I didn't call her and I won't explain
myself to you. If you don't trust me of what I'm
saying to you go to hell with a bucket of ice Voetsek!”
50 | P a g e
After I hung up I sent a text to Samkelo “Dude are you
available for drinks?” I needed some grocery
to last me for this day so I went to Shoprite in West
Street on the left-hand side.
When I started to take some few things I received a call
from Samkelo. He said he will pick me up
when I'm done.
Samkelo: “You planned to clean out Shoprite today” he
says in sarcastic tone.
Me: “No” I pinched him on the arm. “I want to cook for
myself a very delicious meal for super”
Samkelo: “Yeah so the venue is my place. I'll give you
anything utensil and help you if you need me to
please” he is begging
Me: “Okay. Drop me off first then you will pick me up
later”
Samkelo: “No. Drinks on my house and please don't
argue with me” I didn’t argue. He drove straight
to his place.
I poured myself are a wine and tried to relax on the
leather 4 sitter couch. I borrow his push-in and he
gave me the comfortable one but they are big on me.
We took my grocery with us after he ambushed
me and decided to ruin my plans not that I have any so
I will make chicken club sandwiches and juice
for both of us to eat.
Me: “Lunch is ready!”
I think he went to take a shower because he changed
51 | P a g e
the clothes to grey adidas tracksuits and navy
slippers. He came with some cute smile....
Him: “Wow! KaMazibuko made me lunch...Mhm” he
rubbed his hands looking at his plate.
I'm glad he is excited I thought he would make another
thing to eat.
Me: “Sit down and eat”
Him: “I can't wait for supper” He is licked his fingers.
This one can be childish I tell you.
I'm glad he enjoyed it. I didn't expect him to be a great
cooker I was amazed when I had lunch with
him for the first time here so if I want him to eat my
food I must go an extra mile. We watched movies
after eating lunch and weather changed after that in
midday it was cloudy but not cold but now it’s
cold so he went to take a throw. I can tell that he is
neat and everything here is clean.
When I woke up it was 17:15pm mxm I fell asleep
when we were watching a movie. To be honest that
movie bored me that's why I fell asleep. I freak out
when I saw him looking at me like I'm an alien....
Me: “You scared me dude”
Him: “Sorry I didn't mean to scare you”
Me: “Okay” I sighed
Me: “I need to use a bathroom” I got up on the couch
and walked to bathroom. I know things around
here it’s not the first time I'm here anyway.
I went straight to the kitchen and I started to chop and
52 | P a g e
he came in the kitchen and he sat on the
kitchen counter. I'm making chicken breast meat with
mushroom sauce and grilled butternut and
mash and vegetables. He sat there and watched me
slaving in the kitchen. At 19:30pm the supper was
served with red wine. It’s the both of us no friends
today I found it strange because on weekends he
is always with his friends. Okay I’m one of his friends
the last time I checked I must remind myself that.
Him: “The food is......” he up looked to me
I guess it’s not delicious or that great I thought I will
be.
Him: “The food is delicious. Thank you”
Me: “I'm glad you're enjoying the food”
Him: “I hope you will be cooking such great food every
day when you are Mrs Khumalo”
I won't answer that one and who said I want to be Mrs
Khumalo . I take plate to kitchen and I started
to clean and I washed the dishes and he helped me to
wipes the dishes and packed them. I poured
another glass of wine.
Him: “I'm serious about it Nompendulo. I loved you the
first day I saw you I was so heartbroken when
I saw you crying on that punching bag. You're the first
person I want to talk to in the morning and the
last person to talk to when I go to sleep. I want to wake
up next to you for the rest of my life” he was
holding both of my hands.
53 | P a g e
Me: “I don't know what to say but I can't be in a
relationship right now....”
I love him but I can't just tell him today
Him: “I love you nana as much as I love you but I can't
share....”
Me: “No! I'm single! I'm not in a relationship with
someone if that what you mean” I was looking at
his eyes. Sexy eyes.
Why did I say the word “single” out loud?
Him: “If you single as you say kiss me” He is looking
deep in my eyes.
Me: “Not that I don't love you but I can't share....”
Me: “No! I'm single! I'm not in a relationship with
someone if that what you mean” I was looking at
his eyes. Sexy eyes.
Why did I say the word “single” out loud?
Him: “If you single as you say kiss me” He is looking
deep in my eyes.
Me: “Not that I don't love you but I must deal with my
d.....”
I didn't finish the sentence he just grabbed me by waist
and kissed me and I kissed him back we shared
along and passionate kiss after a while I pulled out.
Okay. Awkward. He took his keys and phone to take
me to my place.
Him: “I love you sweetheart”
He kissed my forehead and we shared a hug also a
brief kiss. Stepped out and he locked the door.
54 | P a g e
When we arrived at my place and we got off the car
and he left when I was inside and drove off
I was woken up by Nokwe’s incoming call.
Nokwe: “Mngan what’s going on?” Her voice says she
is wide awake
Me: “It 06:00am and some of us are still sleeping” I
yawned
Nokwe: “Your pictures are over Facebook saying that
Lulonke dumped you and you are still begging
him for love backs”
That bitch must not test me.
Me: “Mngan who posted those pictures?” I don't like
my reaction at things like this
Nokwe: “Some girl called Nokuthula Noku Masilela"
Me: “I knew it that it’s that bitch who can do this” I will
deal with this bitch accordingly
This bitch is really testing me.
After that I got calls from My Mother Sister and
Grandma. Surely my mother called Grandma and told
her this madness but luckily it’s not nude pictures. I will
stop this madness once and for all. I must call
Samkelo okay my man.
I delete my pictures on her Facebook account. Yes I
hacked her account and I got some her nude
pictures on her phone gallery but I will lay low maybe a
month or two then leak her nudes to
Facebook. I won’t tag her and I will use fake Facebook
account or something. I must call my man....
55 | P a g e
Him: “Morning my love”
He can read my mind sometimes.
Me: “I was about to call you yazi”
Him: “Great minds think alike. How are you
sweetheart?”
Me: “I'm good. I hope you calling about my pictures
being splashed on Facebook”
Him: “What? I don't know what you are talking about”
Me: “Yeah but I will deal with it don’t worry”
Him: “Be ready I’m coming to pick you up. You won't
stay alone when you’re angry”
He is pissing me off right now. I need to be alone and
plot revenge for this bitch. I received call from
Thabi and I told her that I fixed that little incident and
I'm not angry anymore. He came to pick me up
and when we got to his place he dropped me and he
said there is something he needs to do he will
be back shortly.
After preparing lunch for my man who has returned
after he dropped me off here. I went to guestroom
and my phone rings........
Me: “Boss” its Andile
Andile: “Nompe how are you”
Me: “I'm good boss”
Silence
Andile: “Do you think its Kagiso posting your pictures”
Me: “I don't think so boss its some bitch that happens
to be the girlfriend of my ex that posted those
56 | P a g e
pictures”
Andile: “Mhm okay but I think something is going on”
Maybe there is something really going on but I think it
that bored bitch who wants my attention.
Me: “Boss it’s an amateur who did that if it was him he
would have used important people to me”
Andile: “Okay. Bye then” he hung up.
I explained that Facebook incident to Andile and I really
think it’s her because if it was someone he
would have posted them anonymously and she used
her really account. When I get up to go tv room
I found him leaning on the opened door to the room
I'm in.
Me: “I didn't hear you when you came in”
I was shocked I didn’t expect him at all and I think he
heard me talking to Andile
Samkelo: “Who were you talking to?” He folds his arms
across his chest
He was eavesdropping.
Me: “I was talk to my boss and he saw those pictures
on Facebook” I walked out of the guestroom to
the kitchen.
I wonder where he was the whole two hours but I
won’t ask him I’m not that type. If he wants me to
know he will tell me but I think he isn’t that type who
tells his about. I just take his food and juice I
served him with a tray and he was so amazed by that
he can be stupid sometimes
57 | P a g e
Me: “I'm not going back to Cape Town today I have a
Monday off tomorrow” I switched tv on
Samkelo: “When are you planning to buy furniture for
that flat of yours?”
Me: “How did you know about my flat because I didn't
take you to my flat?”
I will strangle him if I find cameras in my flat.
Me: “Did you planted cameras in my flat?”
Samkelo: “No. Do you remember when I went there to
give you the gift you left here?” he laughed
Me: “Mxm!”
Nxaa this idiot is laughing when I'm this angry I forgot
that he once came uninvited in my place and I
was so pissed that day. I stand up to take dishes and I
went straight to kitchen and I washed dishes
when I wiped them...I felt him behind me... He must
not test me I'm angry can't he see that; he must
stay away from me or else one of these plates will land
on his face
Samkelo: “Babe”
I'm not turning to see him he can forget. I felt his warm
hands around my waist and he was breathing
on my right ear. Why is he doing that because its turns
me on.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry babe about what I said”
Mxm I'm not even thinking about that my focus is on
this great feeling
Samkelo: “Please talk to me my love” He started to kiss
58 | P a g e
me on neck
Silence.
I like what he is doing but I won't give it to him not
tonight he can forget about that. He just turned
me to face him and I can’t see him in his eyes I don't
want him to know my weakness. He just scooped
my face to look at him and he kissed me and I kissed
him back........
Samkelo: “I’m sorry babe” He is looking at me.
Me: “Okay” I continued to wipe dishes and he helped
me to pack them in their place
What I noticed about him is neat. His place is always
clean and fresh. I think white is his favourite
colour because most of the things around here is white
from tiles to curtains and towels that I have
seen.

Chapter 9

Samkelo: “Babe are you there!”

Me: “Yes babe I'm here” Why did he ask me that? Mxm
I'm going to ignore him but I think he left the
room
When I came out of the shower I got a clean blue gown
and it smells nice and fresh. I found him and
he was in a gown too.
Me: “It your turn to take a bath” I think he wanted to
59 | P a g e
give me space
Samkelo: “I went to take a bath in the guestroom’s
bathroom I thought I have to give you space” he
sat back in the couch.
Me: “You’re such a gentleman babe” I say rubbing his
shoulder
Samkelo: “This is torture though” he says with a smirk
on his face
LOL
I think to give him something to cheer him up but no I
must maintain a 90-days-rule but I doubt this
one can bear that. He is the type that don't need
permission to do something.
I felt a kiss on my forehead it was him but why he is
wearing black tracksuit and I think its midnight....
Samkelo: “Babe there is crisis I have to attend” he
leaned for a kiss.
Me: “It’s midnight though” in a yawning voice
Samkelo: “Go back to sleep I have to go now babe” his
voice is a bit firm
What is it with him? I get up as he gets off from bed I
followed him as he went to the main door. He
is angry I’m wearing his pyjama top....
Me: “You can’t leave me here at midnight!” I screamed
and I'm angry now I don't understand why he
is leaving me here.
Samkelo: “Nompendulo I said go back to sleep” he
shouted back at me. I heard a key turning in the
60 | P a g e
door.
I went back to sleep I checked the time on my phone it
was 02:10am and started crying. I couldn’t
sleep after that so I went to tv room so I switched on
the tv. I went to the kitchen and I took a box of
Ferrero Roche I went back to tv room. I started to cry
again.
I didn’t receive any call from him and my flight is at
15:30pm so I must get ready to go and take my
clothes but I can’t get out of here because he locked
outside.
I felt something touching me on my head I jumped
from the couch.......
Samkelo: “It’s me my love” he says so calmly.
He shocked me.
Silence
Me: “Can you please drop me to my place I have to go
back Cape I'm going to work tomorrow” I say
walking out to main bedroom
Silence.
I changed and took my handbag and went back to the
tv room.
Samkelo: “You can't go when you are this angry” he
put his hands to his head and sat back.
Me: “I'm going to work tomorrow so I have to book
another flight” I’m still standing
He looks at like me like I’m mad but now I'm going to
my place even its mean I must walk to my place.
61 | P a g e
Him: “Nompe I said you are not going!” he says with a
bit firm tone
Me: “I'm going to my place now!” I was shouting and
shaking out of anger. I went towards the door
and he jumped to the door he grabbed me with my
upper arm
Me: “You're hurting me Samkelo!” I’m shouting now.
He leaves my arm.
I didn't sign up for this nonsense. I won’t tolerate this
kind of a behaviour
Him: “I’m sorry my love can we please sit down” he
says pointing to the couch.
I went to sit on the couch because I feared that little
incident that happened minutes early. I saw
another side of him but I’m certain that I don't want so
to see ever again in my life.
Him: “I’ve prepared everything for you to go to Cape
later tonight” he is looking at me
Who does he think he I won’t be control by anyone?
Me: “I’m going now Samkelo” I stood up
Him: “Okay I understand that you are angry but we
have to talk” he stood up I don't know why I'm
looking at him
Damn him so he thinks he can lock me whenever we
have an argument. To get things straight it’s not
an argument it is a big fight. I started to cry and went
to the kitchen I took those chocolate. When he
came back he was wearing black Jordan tracksuits and
62 | P a g e
white Jordan sneakers.
I hate him right now and I’m still crying eating my
chocolates....
Him: “Babe why are you crying?” he towards me and
sat down on the couch
Me: “Why did you left me here in the middle of the
night” I’m crying now
I hate to cry specially to cry in front of him
Him: “Babe I had a serious situation that I had to
attend to” he tried to hold my hands but I flinched
He pulled me close to him I first didn't want to but
finally I gave in I cried to his chest.
Him: “I’m sorry babe. Please don't cry I don't like to see
to you crying” he was trying to calm me down.
He wiped my tears with his thumbs and he kissed me
and I kissed him back. I was waiting for serious
explanation but not I didn't get any from him beside
“serious situation”. He is weird sometimes.
I went to Cape Town with his friend Private Jet. I went
alone because he has some business to take
care off at Pietermaritzburg after dropping me in the
airport. Everything was great my family is fine
and besties are great and working everything is cool
but there is Thabitha is acting weird I'm not sure
why.
---------------
I got an email from Nokwe she was telling that she got
job at Old Mutual she is in Finance department.
63 | P a g e
I think she likes Joburg am so happy for. I just want to
go to Joburg to visit her so we can have fun. Next
month its Nokwe’s birthday so Thabi and I planned to
take her to Zanzibar. Andile has a rental
house there so we can take other people as well. It will
be a gift for her from Thabi. Thabi said we must
take others soon my side I'm taking my sister and my
cousin and they both know them and
comfortable around them.
I remember the other day when we still in varsity we
went for a girl’s night out so it was me Nokwe
Thabi Nontu (my sister) and Zenele (my cousin). We
were banned to that club because
Nontu and Zenele beat the other guy for touching
Thabi’s breast. Even today we still laugh at that
when we see each other.
This Tuesday was busy because of loadshedding so
servers and Wi-Fi was giving us problem. After
work we got out with colleagues for drinks. When I got
home I decided to call my mpintshi (bestie)
Nokwe....
Me: “Haaah you want to call me now”
Nokwe: “You don’t greet now” She is the one that
humbles you she always telling us about manners
over the phone
Me: “Yhuuuu Mnguni hayi” I say with a bitchy tone
I miss her smile though.
Me: “Your birthday next month?” I'm just teasing her I
64 | P a g e
know her birthday. You won't forget her
birthday even if you try to because she will be on your
case almost all year long.
Nokwe: “Yes sweety and I want some serious present
because you now dating a lawyer so you better
start now to save your fat allowance” She can talk but
I'm the one who can speak all day so you better start
now to save your fat allowance” She can talk but I'm
the one who can speak all day but she loves
to like to laugh a lot.
Me: “I will buy you anything you want sweety”
We can be crazy and we have a bit loose cannon
characters compare to Thabi. We all talk like to laugh
and friendly but don't mess with us.
Nokwe: “I broke up with that moron” she laughed
Okay moron is that Xhosa guy and she don't tolerate
nonsense this one.
Me: “When did this happen?”
Nokwe: “A month ago” I didn't know about it
Nokwe: “There is a new guy but we are not dating for
now” we laughed
Me: “Okay I'm all ears”
Nokwe: “Okay mngan he is Sakhile and he is a Pilot”
she giggled
Me: “Haaah please tell him to take us for a ride
mngani!” I screamed sometimes I can behave like a
kid.
Nokwe: “We are not dating” I'm sure she is blushing a
65 | P a g e
little
Me: “He is loaded mngan I'm sure of that” I teased her
with the truth
Sometimes I'm grateful for being dumped by that idiot
and please don't ask me why...
Nokwe: “You bitch you really love money"
Me: “Money makes world go around“ I laughed out
loud.
Nokwe: “Mngani I have to go now” she hung up
I love her so much actually both.
Thabi is always fighting with Andile lately over little
something. The other day Thabi got angry because
Andile refused to pass her salt at breakfast. I don't
understand it but couples are always fighting.
So its Saturday morning Andile has offered to take usto
shopping and it’s on him. After going to three
shops Thabi was complaining about being hungry and
tired. When we went to restaurant as we were
about to sit down some guy spanked Thabi and
Andile's face turned red immediately and he grabbed
that guy by his collar is shirt and he beat the crap out
of him. The was blood on the floor.
The manager called the police we tried to pull Andile
away from that guy but no he didn't hear us.
Andile can beat a person to death especially when it
comes to Thabi. He was pissed off so police came
and took Andile with them.
We went to the car Thabi called some guy called S.K to
66 | P a g e
come to fix this before media blow this up. She
also called Kat and other Andile's friends to tell them
about this incident. I started to cook for the
people who will be here when Andile gets home.
After 4 hours we heard cars pulling up outside. Thabi
went to the door and she came back looking sad.
Kat: “Don't worry Thabi Andile will be here today okay”
he says as he comes in with a crew. I know
some few faces around here.
After serving drinks to them we heard a car pulling
outside and Thabi went to the door and I went
upstairs to charge my phone. When I came down I
heard Andile's voice and the others are laughing.
They are in Patio as I made my way to Patio I heard a
familiar voice.........
“Nompendulo” a voice says
I lift my head up......
Me: “Samkelo what are you doing here?” I was
shocked to see him here let.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at both of us.
Another guy: “Do you know each other?”
Wft?
Samkelo: “She is my girlfriend that I was telling you
about” he was looking at Kat
Kat & Andile: "What?”
Samkelo: “Yeah it’s her and I really love her guys”
I'm still shocked.
We ate after that we cleared the table. Samkelo took
67 | P a g e
Kat outside and they were whispering about
something. Kat who is Khethokuhle is Samkelo's old
brother and know I see the resemblance in them
it’s just that Kat is darker than Samkelo.
My man and I went to the place he using as he is here
for few days. We entered at Steenbarg Golf
Estate I'm sure he found it awkward for us to share a
room on his friend's house and please don't tell
me that he is renting for this few days.
We parked outside to a beautiful house and we went
in. He took both us over the night bags and he
disappeared to this gigantic house. I took at us to this
house. It has a big tv room with a black leather
7 sitter couch and white curtains. When I went to the
kitchen I found him there making a freshly
squeezed orange juice.
Is it over the kitchen counter as I'm looking at his busy
at what he is doing?
Me: “The house is beautiful babe” I am looking around
to this beautiful house.
He is comfortable around here.
Samkelo: “Thanks babe” he gave me a juice
I'm looking at him confused by what he just said
Samkelo: “Babe this is my house whenever I’m here I
use it that why we came here instead of sleeping
at Andile's”
He is loaded and I mean he worked hard for
everything. I saw him talking with the guys that I don't
68 | P a g e
know at Andile’s but they know his old brother or I'm
over thinking it.
Samkelo: “I missed you” he took my glass and put it on
the sink.
He spreads my thighs luckily; I was wearing a skinny
jean with a pink adidas sweater. He kissed me and
I kissed him back....
Me: “I missed you too” I whisper on his ear. He looked
at me in the eyes
I think to give to him tonight and I think I have spider
web down there. I wanted to take a shower with
him but he said he must do some paperwork first and
he will give me my time. He ordered food for
us at some restaurant and it was delivered at "our"
house.
He went to take shower and I prepared food for us. We
ate and I went to change a pyjama to a black
lacy lingerie. I wanted out first night to be special. I tied
my robe and went back to tv room and I found
him looking at tv. He made to sit on his lap and he
kissed me.
His hand went to under the rope and I looked at me....
Samkelo: “Please stand up babe” I do as he says and he
started to untie my rope....
He cleared his throat and has that smirk on his face
Samkelo: “You look so beautiful and sexy.......” he
looked amazed and I climbed on top of him. His
hands went to my ass and I didn’t wear a panty.
69 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Mhmm” he lets out a little moan. He
switched off the tv and he got up with me wrapping
my legs around his waist. He gently put me on the bed.
I untied his rope and it landed on the floor and he took
off a lingerie and it landed on the floor. I felt
his warm skin to my skin he kisses me and he is
between my thighs now. I felt something warm and
he is inside me.......
Samkelo: “I love you......” he whispered on my ear. He
started to move slow and he is doing it with
passion.
He was moving faster now I really love him
Me: “I love…. you t.....” I managed to mumble.
He moved faster and faster till we both came. After our
love making session I went to bathroom to
clean myself and I went back to bed and I laid my head
on his chest....
Samkelo: “Are you okay my love?” He wrapped his
arms around me and held me tight.
Me: “I'm good babe and you?” I looked at him in his
eyes. I was lying I’m sore down there.
Him: “I'm very good babe” he has a smirk on his face
I looked at him.
Him: “Ungiphe kamnandi phela babe (you gave it to me
nicely)” he smiled. He tapped my back and I
felt my eyes slowly opening and closing...
He served me breakfast in bed and he was already
dressed by that time. We both ate my breakfast
70 | P a g e
after that I went to take shower when I came out of
shower. I chose to wear a maroon velvet dress
with long sleeve but is below my knees and silver studs
and that Burberry watch and black high heels.
Samkelo: “Wow babe you look so gorgeous” he is
looking at me like I'm an alien walking in the planet
earth
Me: “Thanks babe” I walked towards the kitchen where
he is standing
He received a call and he looked at me....
Samkelo: “Yes....Okay.......Both of us? Sure” He smiled
at me.
Who was he talking too over the phone? I want to
know but I won't ask him. Early on he said he will
take me to work now he is heading to Andile's house.
Me: “I'm late for work. Please drop me at work then go
to Andile after dropping me”
He keeps quiet. Can he say something now?
I let out a sigh
Samkelo: “What is it?” he kept his head straight
Me: “I hate what you're doing right now” I'm angry
within a second
Samkelo: “What am I doing?”
Mxm!
When we get there Thabi has gone to work and she left
early today. She is really gaining weight but
her man spoils her that's why she is gaining weight.
Money is everything forget about those who say
71 | P a g e
money can't buy you happiness that's a lie.
Andile: “Thanks for coming at a short notice”
We find the all guys here that I saw yesterday in dining
room.
“As we are all here I need to introduce the new
member......” He says looking at me. I stood up I
wanted to give them space
Kat: “Please sit sisi”
Wtf bra?
I took a sit next to my man.
Kat: “You must join us...” I'm shocked by that.
Silence
Samkelo: “I hope this a joke” he said with a creepy
voice
Andile: “SK bra this is the lady we told you about. She is
going to handle the IT department for our
operations”
I don't know why I'm here. He is angry I don't want to
see that side of him.
Samkelo: “Take her out” he stood up
I don't know what to do but I sat still on the chair.
Kat: “We can't take her out she helped us to find to
Sabelo Kubheka”
I'm not sure I'm following here.
Samkelo: “You did what?” he freaked out about what
he heard.
So what I learned here is Samkelo is SK. Fuck that SK
who didn't show up at Andile's party why I'm so
72 | P a g e
slow to connect the dots here but what I don't
understand is that why is he so upset....
Samkelo: “Take her out. She is my girlfriend I won't let
her to join the gang. I will protect her and make
sure that she is safe”
I don't want to join the gang. Why they didn't ask me
this first
Kat: “She hacked Kagiso Maite”
Samkelo: “Is she the one that hacked Bra KG?” He
started to pace up and down.
I don't understand why are panicking about this Bra
KG. Can one of them please explain this K.G for
me.
Me: “Who is Kagiso Maite?”
Silence
Mxm I must go to work. I won't sit here all day listening
to them speaking in riddles.
Samkelo: “Pleases sit Nompe”
Andile called at the office. He said him and I have
urgent meeting to attend to so I'm not going to work
today. I was looking forward to going to work and I was
looking good and felt good after the night we
had with my man.
Samkelo: “Kagiso Maite is Bra KG who is a gang leader
of our rival gang. He killed Andile's little sister
and killed our members. He sabotaged our deals and
we stole from him” He took my hands to his.
So Samkelo is a gangster......Maybe that’s why he left
73 | P a g e
me that day and locked me in. There are many
questions I need to ask here.
Samkelo: “If he finds out that you're hacked him.... I
don't want to even think about it” he tightened
my hands.
I'm still shocked. What have I got myself into? What if
my family is in danger?
I called my grandma to go and visit my aunt at another
village called Endlovini. I want to extent the
house. I wanted to extent but I must get my grandma
out in the village and I will make sure that I
track her moves.

Chapter 10

My life is about to turn upside down but no I must be

strong and do anything to protect my family and
I mean anything.
Three weeks passed and we didn’t see anything I made
sure that everything go slow at home on that
extending so my Grandma spend long time at my
aunt's house.
So we planned to leave early for Zanzibar so its five of
us girls. My man was sulking that I'm going for
3 days he was complaining about boredom and who is
going to cook for him.
74 | P a g e
Nontu Zee and Nokwe came here to Cape so that we
will travel together. Nontu and Zee went to
shopping these bitches like shopping but in fact we all
like shopping. When I have the min my corner
I know that nothing can come to me they beat the crap
out of you these two.
When we got there everything was perfect the way we
planned it. The house is beautiful Thabi's snob
is loaded I can see that but she doesn’t know that and I
was told not tell her anything about Andile
being a Gangster.
Thabi: “Welcome Bitches” She is drinking non-alcoholic
champagne.
I’m so happy I called my man to update him and he is
still sulking. I don’t have time for that I’m here
to have fun!!!
We went to our designated rooms and change to top
and sort pyjamas and went to downstairs. Moët
came flooding. I was told to lock the doors and not to
open the door for our safety.
Zee: “You man is loaded girl!” to Thabi
She is not drinking. I don't know why but I remember
the other day she said is she don't like alcohol
anymore. Okay I'm not here for that.
Thabi: “Yeah its hard work sweetheart”
Hard work with a pinch of Gangsterism and blood. I'm
just thinking.
Nokwe: “Yeah he must buy private jet for us just for
75 | P a g e
travelling”
Me: “Your man will control it for us” I didn't mean to
say it loud.
Nontu: “You are dating a Pilot!” she screamed at
Nokwe
She pinched me after that.
Me: “Ouch! How is quickie in the plane?”
Us: “Tell us”
Nokwe: “Point of correction we don't do quickie on
plane. We have sex in his bed!”
Us: “Wuuuuuuu”
Nokwe: “How is Mr Muscle in bed?”
Mhm where can I start to describe him
Me: “Yummy Hot He rock my world yhuuuuu” I closed
my eyes. I miss him
Them: “mhmmm”
I last spoke to him 30 minutes ago
Nontu: “How is your snob in bed?” she asked Thabi.
She pinched her on the arm and she screamed.
That guy is freaking serious and he is scary
Thabi: “He is serious on you not to me”
Me: “You give him your vagina on a silver platter” She
smacked my head
Me: “Ouch!”
The bitch smacked me.
Thabi: “He likes it rough” she licked her lips
Us: “Wuuuuu”
She really loves him you can see it on her eyes.
76 | P a g e
We spoke till late. We celebrated Nokwe’s birthday
with style this year. We are in Zanzibar and we gave
her the present on the next morning. The hung over
was bad. Yesterday we had moët terqulie mojito
and we had fun so Thabi made something that tasted
awful but it helped so much.
Zee: “You love alcohol you bitch” We have network
problem here
Thabi's phone rings she went upstairs to talk to her
man. She came back and gave me her phone...
“Your man wants to talk to you”
Me: “Hey babe”
Him: “I’ve been trying to call you but your phone is on
voicemail” he is angry. Not today I will not
argue with him
Me: “Sorry babe I forgot to charge my phone” I don't
know where my phone is but I'm sure it here
somewhere
Him: “Okay babe I miss you please come back” He is
not attractive when he is sulking.
Me: “I’m having fun here babe. When I come back I will
wear that little number that you lik...”
They look at me like I'm an alien on planet earth.
Them: “Get a room!”
Me: “I have to go babe I will call you later on”
Him: “I love you Babe”
Me: “I love you too Mbulazi”
I found my phone and I called my mother and Grandma
77 | P a g e
telling that we are fine.

****Samkelo****
I’m sitting here bored. I really miss her.
My phone rang
Spikes: “Axe we have a problem”
Me: “What is it?
Spikes: “I just found out that KG’s boys were seen in
the island”
Me: “Shit! Make few calls and I will make calls too” I
hung up
I dialled Sakhi’s number
Me: “Get the Jet ready we going to Zanzibar now”
Sakhi: “Sure Axe” he hung up.
I dialled Machete’s number.
Machete: “Ta”
Me: “Listen get the girls out now using basement the
backup is on the way”
Machete: “Sure Ta”
I called to them back and they said there were
informed and on the way there.
I was against this trip but I wanted to her to be happy
but now everything is not going according to
the plan.
-----------
****Nompe****
We are still sipping wine while eating pizza having a
light and crazy conversation with my girls a bell
78 | P a g e
rang off
Me: “We don’t expect anyone the last time I checked”
Thabi’s phone rang again and it was Andile and she put
the call on loudspeaker.
Andile: “There are people in the door who are there to
take all of you so I need you to listen to them”
he dropped the call after that.
Men 1: “Please follow me”
We all looked at each other confused but we did as tell.
When we got outside we got in black SUV’s
and we were told our things will follow us with other
bodyguards. We arrived at the airport and I felt
my blood boiling but I didn’t fight anyone I got in the
private jet and settle down.
I felt someone shaking me and I woke up. The
bodyguard was telling me that we in Durban now I
must
get off the jet. I stretched my angry self and followed
the others. The cars were waiting for us. We got
in and they drove us to this beautiful house. We found
the guys in the lounge.

****Samkelo****
Me: “Babe are you’re okay?”
Nompe: “I’m tired I need to sleep”
He frowned.
Me: “Okay. Let me show you the room” he tried to
touch me I gave him a death stare.
79 | P a g e
When we got in the room.
Me: “Babe I’m sorry it wasn’t our intention to cut your
trip short but we wanted to keep you safe”
Nompe: “Mmh”
Me: “Babe you have to understand"
Me: “I need to sleep”
She got in bed and face the opposite side. I know she is
angry but I don’t care about all I want is her
to be safe. After a while I heard her soft snores I took a
throw and put it on top of her.
When I went to amajita they were alone.
Andile: “She will sulk the whole week”
Me: “I think that is better. That one can sulk even the
whole month” he laughed.
Spiro: “Good luck guys. Amathekeni ane drama hayi”
he shook his head.
Me: “I don’t want to comment maybe she is not
asleep” they laughed.
Spikes: “You won’t get any in next few weeks” he
laughed.
Me: “You not funny dude” we laughed.
Silence.
Andile: “What was KG’s boys doing in the island?”
Spikes: “I think he knows about Nompe. He thought
maybe his boys can snatch her in island”
Me: “KG wants war now”
Andile: “I’m tired of him we need to take care of him
for once and for all”
80 | P a g e
I nodded.
---------------

My mother wanted us to come home for traditional

ceremony that was going happen on my mother’s
side.
I’m living with Samkelo in Cape Town because he says
he wants to protect me after what happened.
So we are taking a flight from Cape to Durban he hired
a guy call Syanda to come with his to fetch us
at the airport. I need something that I was told to buy
in Durban.
We left Syanda at town. We went to do my errands. I
thought he will leave me at Durban Station yo
take a taxi to home. When I called Nontu she was at
Gingindlovu by that time. Nontu has bodyguards
now thanks to Kat but it’s a good to know that my
sister is safe.
Why we are going to his place....
Me: “And?”
Silence
Samkelo: “Hawu babe ngeke nje usangipha before
Uhambe?” he was looking at me.
Please help me to find some tree to hang him. He is not
getting anything until he fully explains why he
refused when they said I must join the gang.
Me: “Nop awutholi nix” I was looking out the window.
He looks at me and says nothing.
81 | P a g e
Silence
Samkelo: “This is torture” he thinks I didn't I hear him.
I just gave him a stare. Even if we are fighting but I love
him. I waited for him in the car and I didn't
want to go with him inside. A short while he came with
a bag. I'm sure it guns and bullets.
Me: “What is in the bag?”
He didn't answer me he started the car and drove off.
Me: “My man is not attractive when he is sulking” I was
trying to hold myself from laughing
He pouted his mouth because he is “angry” its suit him
thought cute and sexy.
Samkelo: “My lady is not attractive too when she
doesn’t want me to shag”
Wtf. I pinched his arm and screamed.
He leaned for a kiss and I kissed him too. I never
thought I will love someone like this after what I've
been through.
Samkelo: “Babe please drop me inside the taxi rank at
Durban Station”
He gave a stare but I don't like it. It was like Im crazy or
something.
Samkelo: “What?”
I looked at him at
Samkelo: “Never I'm taking you home” he says going
past by Durban Station.
Me: “But babe......”
Silence
82 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Nompendulo I'm your man and you have to
listen to me. I'm taking you home and that is
final!” he says with some attitude I don't understand.
I nod and kept quiet. I don't know why he is like this or
it that Bra KG thing.
Mxm
Me: “I don't like it when you travel at night all alone”
Samkelo: “I will sleep at Mtunzini lodge”
Me: “What?”
Samkelo: “Yeah you heard me and I will go back to
Durban with you on Sunday night” he is serious
I will commit murder and suicide at him!
Me: “Okay”
He just kept quiet.
Oh Lord
I told him that I want to buy grocery for my mother to
support her at this ceremony that is going to
take place.
Me: “There is a parking space babe” He parked and we
started at Shoprite.
I'm sure it’s his first time here.
Samkelo: “The name of the place again?
Me: “Gingindlovu” I took the troll.
Gingindlovu is a small town if can say. It has a shopping
centre with not more than 15 stores. You will
never be got lost in Gingindlovu. It’s simple.
He took the trolley and pushes it for me. He is a
gentleman but forget it when it’s come to open the
83 | P a g e
passengers it for me. NEVER! He doesn’t do that.
We went to the till to pay. I was busy taking off the
thing from the trolley......
The cashier was friendly but I think it’s my man that
makes her smiles like that.
Voice: “Sawubona Nompendulo”
When I turned my head......Fuck!! They laughed. He
held my upper arm.
Lulonke: “Ngifuna ukukhuluma nawe ngiyacela (I want
to talk to you please)” Samkelo went crazy
Samkelo: “Ei sonny leave that arm now” he said calmly
but I know him he is angry.
They just laughed at him
Hawe mah Jehovah..........
Lulonke: “Or what?”
A harsh slap landed on his face I'm sure he saw
izinkanyezi. People just turned to look at our direction.
Silence.
Samkelo: “Don’t you ever touch my woman like that
sonny” He took his friends to another till and left
us with peace.
I'm so happy that I got revenge after breaking my heart
like that. He earned another slap together.
When we felt the store but I think it’s my man that
makes her smiles like that.
Voice: “Sawubona Nompendulo”
When I turned my head......Fuck!! They laughed. He
held my upper arm.
84 | P a g e
Lulonke: “Ngifuna ukukhuluma nawe ngiyacela (I want
to talk to you please)” Samkelo went crazy
Samkelo: “Ei sonny leave that arm now” he said calmly
but I know him he is angry.
They just laughed at him
Hawe mah Jehovah..........
Lulonke: “Or what?”
A harsh slap landed on his face I'm sure he saw
izinkanyezi. People just turned to look at our direction.
Silence.
Samkelo: “Don’t you ever touch my woman like that
sonny” He took his friends to another till and left
us with peace.
I'm so happy that I got revenge after breaking my heart
like that. He earned another slap together.
When we felt the store he asked me if I knew that guy.
Samkelo: “Do you know him?” he packed the grocery
in the boot of the car.
I wanted to lie but why would I lie
Me: “Ex-boyfriend” I got in the front it.
Silence.
We drove off. The sugarcane plantation here reminds
me that I'm at home and I feel the fresh I know.
When we passed by Emoyeni I remember the incident
that happened early on. We pass by
eMasundwini people hitchhiking and he just drove
fast.
We took left to Obanjeni Store It was a store but not
85 | P a g e
now. I showed him the road to Mtunzini. He gave
me a stare
Samkelo: “Babe Yinhle lendawo”
No wonder he was quiet sometimes he acts strange.
We went by Ehlathini ka Hlabisa....
Samkelo: “Haah you have a bottle store here?”
Me: “It’s the only thing you saw” I rolled my eyes
He gave a bored look.
I told him to take right. He started to complain about
how bad the road is for his car. Can he please
shut up!
He wanted to buy a car for me but I said no. There as
on is there are things I need to fix like joining....
Samkelo: “Hello!” he shook me
We were passing Emacottage when I saw my uncle
luckily the car Windows are tinted. We went by a
shop called KwaCelani and I told him to drive straight
he must not take right. I told him to stop the car
at KwaMasinga cars lash bus stop. I showed him at my
house.
He leaned to kiss me and I know he don't want me to
go but I must.
Samkelo: “I love you babe” he hugged me.
I called my sister and we took grocery in the boot. He
waited for me and my sister to drop us on my
mother’s home. My sister got off first and I kissed my
man and left.
He called when he got to Mtunzini lodge I hate it but I
86 | P a g e
don't have a say.
My mother was happy to us. She asked about what
happened at Zanzibar. I told her that it was thugs
who robbed us and they only wanted jewellery and
phones. I don't want her to know the full story
because she will overreact.
Mom: “Ngicela niqale ukupheka Manje”
Okay I will be cooking all the weekend. My mother
sometimes she can tell you to clean and she will
cook before you know it you will cook.
Me: “Are you fine?”
Nontu: “Yeah I'm fine and you?”
She acts weird
Me: “I’m fine too” I started chopping onions
My aunt came in she is my mother's little sister. My
mother is the eldest the aunt and uncle. Their
parents passed way long time ago. We greet her and
went to greet the other elders who were in
rondavel. We came back to the kitchen. We find our
cousin busy with her phone I'm sure she chatting
to “him”. She is studying at UKZN I don't know which
course but its UKZN that's all I know. When the
supper was served and cousin washed the dishes with
other young ones. I called my man who was
still sulking and he told me that he will come to the
ceremony and I hope he is joking. Me and my
sister were drinking wine in juice bottles and it was my
idea. I hope I will see heaven. They always say
87 | P a g e
that I’m a bad influence on others. Mxm suka!
“I’m sure you are drinking something there” the other I
don’t know said.
What now bitch? You want to expensive wine. Never!
“We have alcohol under Luthando's bed” she whispers
Bloody teenagers. She is Anele Luthando's best friend.
She can talk yhooo.
A beep on my phone. I hope it’s not my man..........
“How is Mtunzini treating you” SMS reads.
Wtf?
I called Samkelo to check on him and he was okay. We
continued to drink but I was not drinking now
I was sipping.
“I hope you will bring meat for me. I saw the cow early
on” another SMS
I jumped dropped my phone from shock. They asked if
everything was okay and I said yes. I don't want
to scare them especially Nontu she been through
enough but at least Nontu's bodyguards we here
too.
I didn’t call him because his crew will be here in no
minute. I tried to call this number but it’s not
existed. I think I must be careful on what I do.
I was woken by a call on my phone.
Its private number...
Me: “Hello” I yawned
Whoever this is they are playing some silly games. The
ceremony went well but I was so worried but
88 | P a g e
everything went well.
Mom: “You are glowing”
Lol
Me: “Haa Mah”
Mom: “I hope you are not pregnant” They all looked at
me
She is unpredictable.
Me: “No I’m not pregnant Mah”
Nontu laughed at me the whole day. She said I must
tell mom that I'm dating.
Weeeeeeeh. I won’t. Never!
We spoke to her about her to take early pension. She
can still work so she will continue. We told her
that we are working now so there is no need for her to
work now.
Mom: “What is the plan?”
What is she talking about? We both looked at her.
Mom: “I have to do something here. I won't stay at
home the whole day”
Nontu: “You can do anything you like Mah”
Okay we managed to do that but we will pay for it. I
can do anything for her and my grandma. They
took care of us when we young till now so they must
have everything they need. Nontu and I do
everything at home. Every payment grocery to
everything they want or need. She earns a real money
at Transnet on the other side I also earn money from
my real job and the other cash that Iearn. Don't
89 | P a g e
ask me.
We went to sleep early today everyone was tired some
tomorrow I’m going back to “Cape”. That is
Durban to be exact but we needed something strong to
go because there was Jazz concert in Durban.
I was worried about those SMS but nothing happened
so everything went well.
I was woken by mom it was early in the morning. I was
dreaming and I was crying and fighting in it. I
wiped tears with my pyjama top. I couldn’t sleep went
to the toilet the toilet is outside the house she
I got out the toilet I found a big gift box one bodyguard
came towards me then he opened the box. It
was a cow's head it was black. It is a warning but I
don't know from who.
I made sure the family didn’t see that because they will
find something to say like it’s a warning from
ancestors but I think someone out they wants to join
the ancestors. I was trying to fake a smile and I
didn't eat the breakfast. I told my mother that I need
bodyguards for her and my grandmother.
Mom: “Are you in trouble?” after I told her about this
bodyguard situation
Either she likes it or not but they will have bodyguards
Me: “No Mah I’m not in trouble but my job is
dangerous so I need to know that you are safe”
Can she please try to understand the situation here?
Me: “If you say so”
90 | P a g e
We said our goodbyes to my mother's family and went
back to home. It a walkable distance and we
are in the same village. When I got home I found my
grandma watching tv and she likes Channel 182.
I tried to explain the bodyguard’s situation.
Grandma: “I will not stay with men I don't know!”
It Sunday we were supposed to chill before we go back
to Durban.
Me: “Gogo my job is so dangerous so I have to protect
you. Please try to understand that they will
protect you”
I didn’t want to scare them but there is something bad
coming my way. They both understood. We
had lunch with mom and grandma. I called my man
and told him that I'm ready for us to go. I told him
that the bodyguards will stay behind and Nontu will get
another one. We left Nontu’s car so she will
get it tomorrow.
I got my licence last week and he force me to drive
sometimes. We swiped and I was in driver’s seats.
I'm prepared to be shouted at all the to Emabhawuzini
to join Tire road. We will swipe when we get
there.
Samkelo: “Nontu how is Joburg?”
Nontu: “Great but those bodyguards give me hard time
yoh!” she clapped once.
I hope he will not be finding it intimidating. At least he
is laughing so he is not intimidated by it.
91 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I hope they don't give you at work”
Me: “No they don't it’s just that they are too serious”
I'm sure she can't spend some time with her man
because of these bloody bodyguards. Nokwe also
complained about her bodyguards she said she can't
even party properly. When we got to Durban we
had some shopping and I saw that he wasn't happy
about it but we didn't care about it. I cooked and
invited Thabi and Andile to join us in Samkelo's
apartment after that we went to Jazz concert and they
went with us.
Snobs.
I don't like Jazz but my sister loves it so I did it for her.
Thabi Andile and Nontu went to Cape in the morning
because Andile has urgent "meeting". Who has
urgent meeting in Sunday? So I made lunch for him and
he came with his crew and I was introduced
as “Ka Mazibuko”.

Samkelo: “Thanks babe for lunch” he kissed my cheek.

He went to main bedroom.
I'm tired now so I better go to freshen up. I went to
them a in bedroom and the door was locked.
Me: “Babe please open up”
He took some time to open the door. Why he locked
the door.
Him: “I was dressing up babe” He was fixing his shirt.
I won't ask him further because he will annoy me with
92 | P a g e
silly answers. I went to bathroom and when I
got out.
Him: “Babe I need to go to Zimbali”
He will leave me here again at least this time he won't
lock me up.
Me: “Okay" I walked away.
I wanted to spend time with him but he has better
things to do.
Him: “Okay babe we will go together” he grabbed me
by my waist.
I miss him so much I know I'm the one who gave him
punishment but the truth is I miss him. I will give
him something to end this sulking of his. We left early
to Zimbali in Ballito. He was quiet I don't know
why but I'm going to shut up too.
He played my favourite song. This car has his scent I
like it.
Me: “Ncooah babe how did you know?”
He just gave me a stare.
Him: “What are you talking about babe”
I asked you first you moron. I better keep this stupid
thought to me to my mind.
Me: “I love this song” I looked at him.
It is Adorn by Miguel. Zee and I love this song. We used
to sing it loud when we drunk.
Him: “It’s my favourite song” he was surprised.
Me: “No it’s my favourite song”
Silence
93 | P a g e
He bursts in laughter
Him: “I'm ready for lawsuit for stealing your song” he
cracked in laughter
Stupid idiot but I love him so much.
--------

He parked in front of a big beautiful house. We are in

Zimbali Coastal Resort and Estate so I don't
know why we are here but I won't ask him anyway. I
haven't told him about what happened at home
but I will find the right time.
Him: “We won't stay longer babe” he took my hand to
hold it.
And now?
He opened the door with a key in his hands. I hope it’s
not his parents’ house. I once asked him about
them he just kept quiet. I don't know why he is so
secretive. I only know his old brother Kat.
“Zirhama!” he shouted.
Okay we are here to see his friends.
Him: “Haah bra I didn't know that you're in town!” I
don't know him.
These gangsters have money. These boys are young
you can tell when you are looking at them. I can
be at the crap out my child being a gangster at this
young age. They look they are 18 or 19 why did
they allow kids to join gang at a young age.
Samkelo: “Why my house is so dirty?” he looked
94 | P a g e
around he is annoyed.
Huh??
Him: “I'm sorry bra I will clean now!”
The house is beautiful but it is dirty I can tell that they
were hosting a party. I think these are his
tenants.
Samkelo: “Go and wake up the others” he stood
looking the young guy and shook his head
The young guy came towards me.
"Sawubona sisi" he says to me
Me: “Yebo unjani?”
He is cute. He is a rich kid you can tell with his clothes
and that Rolex watch on his wrist. He is tall and
skinny. I don't think they eat proper food here. When
he smiles the thing. you see Versace grills on his
canine on upper and lower teeth.
Samkelo: “Yeyii yeka lapho Hamba uyovusa abanye” he
smiled
The young guy came with 3 other rich kids like him.
They slept with their clothes on. They were
shocked to see Samkelo
“Hello” the other say with great accent. He went to
private schools I can say that judging on his accent.
Samkelo: “Yeyii Nina why my house is like a pigsty?” he
asked folding his arms on his chest
“Sorry bra we will clean please don't kick us out” the
other one says
Drama! He didn't threaten to kick them out.
95 | P a g e
I'm still standing next to Samkelo
“She is your girl....” says the tall one pointing to me.
Samkelo: “Musa ukuphapha wena”
They laughed at least. They started to clean and we
were watching them. Samkelo ordered Pizza. The
is no food here as I thought no wonder they are so thin
all of them. We all sat down when they were
done.
Samkelo: “Guys this is my girlfriend Nompendulo”
They looked at each other. What is now?
“Uyajola bra?” the tall guy
The cracked out of laughter.
Samkelo: “Uyaphapha wena”
Samkelo: “Babe this is Lwandile my younger brother”
he pointed the tall guy.
They don't look alike though. So he has two brothers
Kat and Lwandile at least he them as family.
Lwandile: “It’s good to meet you Nompe. No wonder
we don't see him now Haah bra uyajola kumele
ngixoxele uKat lendaba” Lwandile laughed. I don't
know why they are surprised when he has a
girlfriend.
They all laughed.
Samkelo: “Babe this is Mbuso Andile's little brother
Sphelele my cousin and his brother Zamokwakhe”
I thought they were his tenants but okay they are his
family including Andile's little brother. I excused
myself to bathroom. On my way back to tv room the I
96 | P a g e
saw the dining room are I saw pictures it was
Samkelo's graduation pictures and another one old
picture there are four boys and one beautiful girl
but I don't recognise anyone of them. He came to me
as I saw looking the pictures .Kat was a soldier I
saw his picture on soldier's uniform no wonder he is a
hardcore and scary.
Where are the parents? I won't ask him but I would like
to know.
Lwandile: “Bra we don't have cosmetics can you please
give us R5000 at least”
He voice is so loud I don't know why.
Samkelo: “Uyanya ngeke nikubone lokho. You're spent
money on booze and you forgot to buy
cosmetics” They looked at each other
Samkelo: “And I won't give you my petrol card. I'm
tired of you all misusing money”
They were quite looking at him.
Samkelo: “I will call Kat and tell him to come here to
teach you on how to spend money when you are
a student”
Them: “Please don't!”
I can sense that they fear him. No wonder why he has
no girlfriend at his age girls fear him. He laughed
out loud
Zamo: “Haah bra please Kat will kill us when he hears
that”
Its unlike them.
97 | P a g e
He gave them money and we said our goodbyes and
we left. Now I know he has a house at Zimbali
and an apartment. He has an expensive taste I can say.
We went straight to his house. We have 3 months
since we started dating. I live with him now in his
house in Cape town. I hope Thabi and Andile have
freedom to go around naked around the house
when I left them. Lol!
I love him so much. He is my friend and my love we are
so close together. He always calls me when
I’m at work just to check if I’m okay. I’m laying my head
on his chest after having a good sex. He is
brushing my arms.
Me: “Babe there is something I need to tell you”
Silence
He means “continue”
Me: “When I was at home I received messages that
was threatening me and my family”
Silence
Samkelo: “And you decided to keep quiet about this
because?”
I didn’t say anything.
Me: “I need to join the Gang I'm not safe and my family
is not safe”
Why he is so calm about this and he is not asking so
many questions
Me: “Who told you about this because I told the
bodyguard not to tell you?”
98 | P a g e
I don’t like my calmness because I react so stupidly
when I'm calmly I don't know why. Even when I
was young I was not that child to use to talk about my
anger or something that made me angry.
Samkelo: “I know because I was around just to keep an
eye...” I gave him a stare
No wonder he didn’t respond to my call that day in
morning. I wanted to check up on him.
Me: “Who sent that cow’s head?”
Samkelo: “Sleep my love” he covered me with a duvet
He went to en-suite bathroom to our room.
Me: “But babe....”
He comes toward the bed and climbed on.
Samkelo: “Sleep my love” he wrapped his arms around
my body.
Why he like to cover my face with duvet when he goes
to bathroom. I never had shower with him ever
since we started to date. I always wake up when he
dressed. Why? Maybe he has reasons for that. I
won't ask him.
Samkelo: “You won't join the Gang” he brushed my
back.
Silence
I was woken by a call from my mother and he was not
in bed but the I heard running water coming
from bathroom.
Me: “Mom” Why she is calling me at 5:30
Her: “Someone broke in Nompe” she is crying
99 | P a g e
What????
Me: “Mom are you both okay!”
Her: “Yes we are both okay but there is a note that
says Tell Nompendulo that I know how much she
loves her family” she read the note that she found on
the kitchen counter.
Me: “I’m sorry mom about I will organise a flights
tickets for both of you to Joburg” my lips are
trembling and hung up
Samkelo stormed out of shower and I told him what
happened at home so I must move them to
Nontu place. I will find the best bodyguards to guard
them there. I booked them a flight tickets and I
called one if the useless bodyguard to take to them to
Richards Bay airport.
I need to find the person who did this on my own but I
don't have resources.
Me: “I will join the Gang I need their protection now
than ever. My family isin danger I will do anything
to protect them”
Him: “I said you won't join the Gang!” he went to walk-
in closet.
He must not test me not today please. He came to the
room dressed.
Me: “I don’t need your permission to join whatever I
need to join. My family is in danger don’t you
understand that. If me being with you will cost me my
family’s safety I can pack my clothes now and
100 | P a g e
get the hell out of here” my voice is high now
He sat on the edge of the bed.
Me: “I can protect your family withou.”
He can’t protect them because I’m not one of them so
can he please shut up.
Me: “I will do it myself even if I lose my life in the
process it will be fine” I’m crying now.
Silence
Samkelo: “Come here” I just went to bathroom and
closed a door behind me.
Me: “I will call Andile to ask him to join the Gang”
He was quite
After a while he went to out of the room
I called Andile and he agreed to see me today.
Me: “Can you please lend me your car?”
He gave a “where are you going to” look
Me: “I’m meeting Andile at his house in an hour”
Samkelo: “I will take you and drop you off”
I made him something to eat. I always serve him his
food with a tray even if I’m angry at him. I don't
want to disrespect him because I’m angry. He ate all
his food and I didn't have appetite after the call I
received in the morning. I hate to hear the crying.
Samkelo: “Please don’t talk to me like that ever again
like you did this morning”
Argh. I hate this tension between us but I won’t back
down about it.
Me: “I’m sorry babe it won't happen again”
101 | P a g e
What a bully nxaa but I must neutralise the situation
here.
Samkelo: “I hate that you want to join the gang but I
will let you to because you want to protect your
family and the job that you are doNgiyaphilaing is so
dangerous so sometimes I won’t be able to protect
you” his
voice gives me Goosebumps.
Mxm as if I needed your permission dude.
Samkelo: “I spoke to Kat and Andile they will see us
this evening at 20:00” he looked the glass in front
of him.
I think I must be brave for tonight but I’m ready to
crush any leech that is coming my way.
Samkelo: “Andile said you can work at home for today”
he stood up.
He took his car keys and went to the office. He has
offices here in town he is working on this side. He
said he is working on a big case I'm not even interested
on that case of his. I checked my emails.
I did a background check on Luxolo. He is Luxolo
Mbangatha born and bred in Eastern Cape Matatiele
he has parents and three siblings. He went to
University of Johannesburg he has Degree in computer
science. I need to find one of his family members.
I really need information on him. I must duplicate his
phone I need something on his mother or
someone. I will keep digging and I will do it myself
102 | P a g e
without anyone's help.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm back”
I felt his hands around my waist.
Samkelo: “Are you okay” he kissed my neck.
That alone makes me wet let alone his scent and
everything.
Me: “I’m okay and you?”
He didn’t say anything but continue what he was
doing. He slowly turned me to look at him. He picked
me up and he gently put me on the kitchen counter
and open my legs and I felt his hand inside my
panty.......
“Get a room”
He quickly took out his gun and took me off from the
kitchen.......
“Nxaa Voetsek take that away” he is laughing.
What is he doing here? How did he get in here?
Samkelo: “Nxaa wena srhama”
What the hell is going on here. I thought we are going
to die seconds ago but now he is laughing to
that idiot
Guy: “Please make something to eat I’m hungry”
Who is he to tell me to what to do I don’t even know
him?
Samkelo bursted in laughter. I went to bathroom and
when I came back to the kitchen he was busy
in my kitchen. The kitchen was the mess in 2 minutes
this guy is annoying me. I went to stand next to
103 | P a g e
my man.
Guy: “I’m Avela Mnethu” he is frying bacon.
Who eat breakfast at 15:00pm? He better cleans my
kitchen when he is done because I’m not cleaning
after him. He disturbed us nxaa bloody Mr muscle.
Me: “I’m Nompendulo”
He is a Xhosa I can tell by his accent. Who invited him
because I don’t remember Samkelo telling me
that he is expecting someone? I freaked out when he
took out his gun thanks to this idiot to freak us
out.
Samkelo: “How did you get in here?”
This is an Estate for crying out loud
Avela: “Have you forgot who I am?”
What is funny on what he said? My man joined in hayi I
give up
Me: “I will give you space”
Samkelo: “Ka Mazibuko please stay with us” he
grabbed my waist gentle. My man he can be a
gentleman sometimes
He looks at us.
Avela: “Your surname is Mazibuko?”
He heard so why asking again
Me: “Yeah”
Avela: “Mazibuko and Mnethu is one thing” he sat on a
couch. He better not leaves the crumbs there.
Continue you moron. I’m confused by this
Avela: “Yes Mnethu is Mazibuko it’s just that Mnethu
104 | P a g e
ivan”
Can he please continue with this confusion?
Avela: “Yhuuu hayi marn Mazibuko is the main
surname and Mnethu is sub surname in Xhosa” he said
in between his chewing
I need him gone. I won’t tolerate his rudeness.
Samkelo: “What are you doing on this side?”
Wrong question you moron.
Avela: “None of your business. And you Please prepare
a guestroom for me” he pointed me.
I will strangle this Avela ndini. I called to check mom
they had a safe journey I must deal with this.
After a week Nokwe Nontu and Zee were coming to
visit us here in Cape Town and they planned that
we must go to the club just to have fun and it’s been
long we did girls night out. I was so happy when
Samkelo told me that he is going to Durban because of
board meeting and I didn't care about that
but I was happy because I will go out with my friends
and he won't be here. Today its Thursday
tomorrow he is going and he will be back on Sunday.
Samkelo: “Babe you don't want to go with me?”
Me: “I’m going to work tomorrow so I won't be
available to go with you”
Samkelo: “Okay”
I was so tired but he kissed me so thing lead to
another....
In the morning he got ready and he drove me to work
105 | P a g e
and he went to airport after that. Andile is in
Gauteng in a business meeting so we don’t have to
worry about boyfriends. My day went so fast and I was
excited about our date. When I knocked off I went to
the house. I cleaned the house and I
ordered pizza. At 20:00 pm my phone beeped and I
was ready.
Okay. I was wearing a skinny jean with black vest and
blue coat with black heels and red bag I tied my
dread in a bun and dark plum lipstick. I switched off the
lights locked the door I went to the gate. I
stepped in a car and we drove off to a fancy club and
my bitches were on point like old times.
Nokwe: “Only if my parents allowed me to come and
study here!”
We all laughed because we know she say that because
guys are hot in here.
Me: “Ei we would've destroyed friend” I gave her high
five
Thabi: “Bitches!”
The waiter came and we ordered Mojitos and sat in
our table. We took few selfies.
Zee: “It’s been long time we did this”
She us right in that one.
Nontu: “Who remember that guy who was used take
us out and buy drinks for us because she wanted
Nompe?” we laughed
Me: “Ei he was such a pain on my ass that one but we
106 | P a g e
drank his money guys”
Other mojitos came and we were having fun!
Me: “Shooters now!” I signalled the waiter to come to
our table. Our shooters came and we counted
and we drank them the same time.
Nokwe: “Keep them coming”
Nontu: “I won't be able to wake up tomorrow because
of Nokwe and Nompe”
We were drunk but not that much. Nokwe and I got up
and dance to the song which was playing and
shooters were flooding. Thabi tapped me and gave me
my phone which was ringing when I checked it
was Samkelo and I didn’t answer it because I knew he
will shout at me and all that. I gave it back to
Thabi and continued to dance and the other two guys
came to join me and Nokwe .The club now was
packed up because its Friday vele! I felt someone
tapping my shoulder when I turned to look....
I froze...
The guy I was dancing with was on the floor and his
nose was bleeding. I went from drunk to be sober
when I saw him standing in front of me.
Him: “What are you doing here?” he is angry.
Me: “I can’t hear you!” I shouted on his ear the music
was loud.
When I checked Thabi Andile was here too angry as
hell.
Him: “Let's go. Now!” he grabbed with my upper arm
107 | P a g e
and his grip was tight. He signalled to my friends
to follow us. Andile took Thabi Zee Nontu and Nokwe
with him and Samkelo took me to his car and
he drove off we were both quiet. When we got home
he opens the door and we got in. I feared the
way he was angry at but I must face him.
I went to sit on the couch in the lounge he went to the
kitchen he came back with two bottles of water.
He sat next to me and I slowly shifted from him. I want
to run to lock myself in a guestroom because
he looks like he wants to beat me up
Samkelo: “Who told you to go to a club?” he is calmly.
I didn’t answer to that.
Me: “Him: “You’ll speak angithi?” he looked at me.
Me: “My friends and. I went...to a club. to have” I was
scared to answer his question.
Samkelo: “Yeyii wena!” he looked at me.
Me: “Babe I'm so sorry...” I was about to cry.
Samkelo: “Don’t cry because I haven't done to you” I
jumped of a couch and he catch me before I ran
away to him.
Samkelo: “You don’t want to make me angry than I am.
You didn’t tell me that you going out because?
What if you got hurt there or got kidnapped?” his voice
was deeper and I was really scared.
Me: “Babe I’m sorry...” I wanted to go to sleep and I
was feeling sleepy.
He looked at me and he got up from where he was
108 | P a g e
sitting and he disappeared in the house and I slept
on the couch.
Samkelo: “Wake up!” he shouted and I sat straight. He
was carrying two bottles of whiskey and a
teaspoon.
Samkelo: “You wanted to drink right? Drink here and
use this teaspoon. Now!” I felt tears in my eyes.
Silence.
Samkelo: “Nompendulo I don’t have all night I want to
go to sleep”
I sat still.
He opened the bottle and poured the whiskey in the
teaspoon and forced me to drink. I opened the
mouth and it was burning including my throat. I don't
drink whiskey unless I’m angry or trying to calm
down.
Samkelo: “Yeyii sdakwa drink here” I didn’t open my
mouth.
He stood up and I stood up too trying to follow him.
The hot slap landed on my face and it made me
to fall on the couch that I was sitting in. I just wailed.
I was woken by something cold on my back and I was
naked. I wailed again when I looked around he
was sitting on top of a seat of the toilet looking at me.
When I tried to get up.
Samkelo: “Don’t test me”
I sat still and this so cold and I cried.
Samkelo: “Why you weren't taking my calls last night?”
109 | P a g e
Me: “I didn't hear my phone” I was shaking
Samkelo: “Don’t lie to me I called you when I was
looking at you and saw that I was calling you gave
phone back to Thabi and I want to know why”
Me: “I was scared that you will shout at me because I
was in the club” I was looking down.
Samkelo: “Why did you go there in the first place?”
Me: “I like clubbing but you don't want me to so I
wanted to have a good time with my friends”

Chapter 12

Samkelo: “Having a good time by dancing with idiots

you don’t know?” his face changed.
Me: “Babe I’m so sorry I won't do it again” I was now
shaking and coughing he picked me up from the
tub and placed me on the bed. I was shaking and my
coughs were dry.
Asthma was kicking in.
Samkelo: “Can I make you something to eat?”
Me: “Please give me my phone” He didn't but he got
from the bed and exited the door. I stretched my
arm but I couldn't reach my phone I moved slowly and
reached it I took it and I called my sister.
Samkelo: “You said you want in so don’t be nervous”
he snapped.
110 | P a g e
What is his problem now? I'm the one who should be
grumpy about unfinished business.
Me: “I’m not nervous”
We were behind the warehouse. They were so many
cars and motorbikes. The others are sitting and
the others are standing. At least I'm not only lady here
I saw other ladies but not too many. They are
all dressed like Samkelo but ladies have high heel
police boots I think it’s their dress code. They started
to laugh at Samkelo.
Another guy: “Haaah SK uhamba ne cherry” He
laughed at him.
I hate it when his friends are laughing at him in my
presence.
Samkelo: “Ngizokukhahlela sani” he brushed that Guy's
head.
He greeted and they all came close. I was offered a
place in front of the mall. We all are sitting but
Kat Andile and Samkelo remained standing.
Kat: “I'm glad you all came here”
Silence
Kat: “This is a new member Nompendulo” he
continues
Them: “Heita Nompendulo”
Mhm
I don't know what to say but I kept quiet. I was briefed
on what to do or not to do.
Ta Kat: “She is the one who found Sabelo Kubheka and
111 | P a g e
that Luxolo was a snitch”
Why he is the only one talking here. I think he is the
leader here.
Kat: “From today she is our IT lady. Those who are
doing IT in other branches I will like you to work
with her. Her skills are good and she will also assist the
seniors in missions as you know how we work.
That will be all”
I made vows to the Gang and told everythink I must
know. I did all the protocols that is done when
you join this Gang. I'm a fully member of THE EAGLES.
An EAGLE means power wisdom and
determination.
The three ladies came to take me away they told me
that our tattoo artist is ready for me. I didn't
think about not that I'm scared of pain.
Another lady: “We all have the same tattoo”
The EAGLE bird it the signature of the Gang. The tattoo
is black big EAGLE with spreaded wings and it
is drawn a cross the shoulders. The tattoo guy has one
so I know that he is one of us. After few our I
was done they poured whiskey for me and I gulped it. I
got the same clothes as them I wore them and
I was one of them now. I got the access card to use in
when going in or out the warehouse.
Kat: “You are one of us now”
Silence
Samkelo: “You will be trained on how to fight and how
112 | P a g e
to kill”
I don't know the person he is right now what I see it
not my sweet and crazy Samkelo.
Me: “Please come here. I need to .go to.The doctor.
Now...” I was coughing my chest was so painful.
Nontu: “Eish okay I’ll come now!” she said and hung
up.
He came back with food and he forced me to eat but I
couldn't eat because I was coughing.
Samkelo: “Are you alright?”
I shook my head yes. He sat and ate His sandwich after
a while time Nontu called and he went to open
for her.
Nontu: “I went to the doctor straight and I bought
Venteze for you and they gave other pills they said
it will help you” Samkelo was confused.
She went to get water for me. I drank the pills that she
gave me and I drifted off to sleep. When I
woke up he was sleeping so peaceful next to me. I got
off the bed and I went to the kitchen I wanted
to make food but I saw a very sharp knife I took it and
went to our bedroom and I found him sleeping
so peaceful. I placed a knife in his face and made it to
move slow. He jumped and took his gun under
the pillow...
Samkelo: “What the fuck are you doing. Are you
crazy?” he is breathing fast.
I laughed out loud and cause me to cough.
113 | P a g e
Me: “Nxaa suka. I wanted you to pay for what you did
earlier on”
He put his gun away and went to the bathroom. He is
angry and I don't care about it.
Samkelo: “Don’t you ever do that again do you hear
me?”
Me: “Don’t tell me what to do or not what to do”
Samkelo: “Yazi ngiyalingwala (I’m being tested here)”
Me: “It’s over” I got up. He laughed.
Samkelo: “You not going anywhere” I laughed.
Me: “Watch me!” I went to the closet.
When I was taking my clothes.
Samkelo: “Leave those clothes Nompendulo”
Me: “Samkelo please leave me alone” I wasn’t even
looking at him.
I felt his hand grabbing my hand he pulled me towards
him with force. He kissed me before I try to
speak. I kissed him back he picked me up and went to
the bed and gently put me on down in the bed.
He took off my pyjama pant I took his boxer off. He
broke the kiss.
Samkelo: “Is it still over?” he said with a smirk in his
face.
Me: “Mxm” He laughed at me.
Samkelo: “You can’t resist this body”
Me: “Kiss me please” He laughed again.
Samkelo: “Few minutes back you broke up with me
now you want me to kiss you?” he said in between
114 | P a g e
of his laugh.
Me: “Please get off me” I was little irritated.
He kissed me and we had a great sex after that we
went to take a shower. We made love again in the
shower after shower we went to bed and we slept.
--------------

I found out that Luxolo was in Mtunzini on the day of

the ceremony so it confirms my suspicions. He
is a bitter loser because he lost his snitching job I will
deal with him. I will keep my promise to him.
I made supper Avela is still here so much annoying. I
heard that he is a Civil Engineer by profession
but I don't trust him though this guy can talk. He broke
in here because no one called 'to come and
sign for him in the main gate but he is here demanding
everything.
Avela: “So do you love him?” he asked me to drink his
juice.
What the kind of question is that. He found us kissing
or he didn't saw that.
Me: “Yeah I love him so much” I sat next to my man.
Avela: “Please love my friend the way he is. Don't
change him to something he is not” he is serious.
Wow! He can be serious for a second.
Me: “I won't change him I love him the way he is” I
brushed my man’s shoulder.
Avela: “Good”

I changed to a black skinny jean and white long sleeve
t-shirt with brown high heel Timberland boots.
I found him in the kitchen wearing a wearing a black
Jean with black long sleeve and a black ankle coat
with a mustard scarf and black police boots.
Samkelo: “I’m ready to go babe”
He just took his phone and car keys. He is acting weird
now
Mxm I don’t care.
Me: “You look....” I was trying to compliment him
Samkelo: “Please don’t”
Why he must spoil a good moment thought.
Silence.
Where did he took these clothes because I found him
already dressed? Strange because I was in the
main bedroom but I won’t ask him. I don't know the
location but he is taking me there. I thought we
were going to Andile’s house but this looks like a
warehouse. I was nervous at first but I must do this.
I’m quiet.
Andile: “You will have to prove yourself to us and you
will earn your own respect here”
I’m still quite
Kat: “The proper training will be given to due to the
sudden joining in under circumstances but you’ll
informed about”
Finally I will get a proper training to fight and bring
down Luxolo.
116 | P a g e
I want to do shopping so Thabi is the one that I should
go with. I went to pick her up. I’m driving myself
now so I always have my gun with me but I'm not
happy to hide this thing of them about me being a
Gangster to my best friends but I must shut up.
Me: “Mngani you look different”
She laughs
Me: “Talk what is going on? I first noticed when we
went to Zanzibar but I thought it money”
She laughs
Thabi: “Haa mngani it nothing I'm just happy and
everything is perfect”
Why she acts dumb here?
Me: “Are you pregnant?”
Silence
Thabi: “What? No! I'm not pregnant I’m on
contraceptive pill mngani” she is shocked on what I
just
asked.
Me: “I still don't understand the sudden change”
Maybe she is not then. I was too observant.
Silence
She looks like she is thinking hard. When we got to the
mall we went to few stores and she was hungry.
I don't understand this new habit of hers she is a diet
type of girl. She is thin and tall than me with a
dark complexion but too dark now she is the opposite
she gained weight and she is having a light
117 | P a g e
complexion. I don't want you stress her but she has
changed.
She ordered a chicken burger with chips and juice. Can
someone please go find my Thabi because I
don't know this one. I ordered the same as hers I'm the
fan of burgers. I will buy pregnancy test for
her today!
Me: “I forgot to tell you what happened when I was in
Shoprite at Gingindlovu” I laughed
Thabi: “What happened?” she is curious
Me: “I was with Samkelo when Lulonke grabbed me
with my upper arm he gave him the best slap
one” I was laughing and she joined in.
Thabi: “That’s why I like him” she laughed
He made my year when he slapped that idiot. I never
thought I will get over him but here I am I have
never been happy in a relationship like I am now.
On our way back Thabi wanted chicken burger again.
Haaa she can nag sometimes.
Me: “I bought pregnancy test for you”
Silence
Thabi: “I'm not pregnant” she snapped.
She is irritated but I don't care about that.
Me: “I know that you're not pregnant but you have to
be sure. You are acting weird mngani I'm
worried”
Thabi: “Whatever” with attitude.
We went to her house and we found guys there.
118 | P a g e
Andile: “You back” Andile say to us.
Thabi just looked annoyed about that. What is it about
her?
My man came to hug and kiss me. He can be sweet
sometimes but I love him every minute of every
day.
We left the guys downstairs we went to them a in
bedroom upstairs. The main bedroom is big
everything is white here with a touch of silver. The bed
is the Italian bed with white bedding on it a
chandelier that changes the colours a white couch and
a silver table and a white fluffy mat.
Me: “Here take this and use it now” I say giving her the
Brown paper from pharmacy
She will smack my head. I pushed her to the bathroom
and locked the door outside.
Thabi: “I won't do it”
Me: “We have all the time sweetheart!”
Thabi: “I hate you!”
Me: “I love you more!”
Thabi: “Whatever”
Minutes later she cried out loud I quickly opened the
bathroom door. She cried out and I tried to calm
her down but she became worse.
The guys came running with their guns. These idiots.
Me: “Go away”
Luckily she didn't see the guns because her head was
looking in the bed and my head was looking in
119 | P a g e
the door.
They quickly went out and she calm down.
Thabi: “What I'm going to do mngani?”
She is pregnant I concluded when I heard a loud cry.
Me: “You have your man he will support throughout
the pregnancy”
She knows that she has my support all the time.
Thabi: “What I'm going to say to my parents?”
She got a child out of wedlock she didn't see the guns
because her head was looking in the bed and my head
was looking in
the door.
They quickly went out and she calm down.
Thabi: “What I'm going to do mngani?”
She is pregnant I concluded when I heard a loud cry.
Me: “You have your man he will support throughout
the pregnancy”
She knows that she has my support all the time.
Thabi: “What I'm going to say to my parents?”
She got a child out of wedlock but she is old enough to
take care of her and the baby. I will talk to her
when she is calm. I went downstairs to call Andile for
her. I pity him he will be walking on eggs for the
next eight months. I found Andile pacing up and down
he was freaked out the guys were looking at
him.
I just remembered that I still have pictures of
Nokuthula so it’s been three months after she posted
120 | P a g e
my pictures calling me bitch who wants her man. So
today it her because I will post her nudes picture
with her own Facebook account I didn't spend 4 years
at Ukzn for nothing.
Me: “Done!”
This bitch messed with a wrong woman.
Samkelo : “Why are you doing that?”
Why are you always sneaking on me?
Me: “It’s payback time sweetheart”
I planned this long time ago so I don’t hold her a
grudge anymore.
I need to go to Joburg I miss my family. They are still
there but my grandma is complaining about her
garden but I’m worried about her life I don't give a
damn about those vegetables.
Samkelo: “Babe uzongishiya ngedwa nge weekend?
Here we go again. He is always sulking I’m sure he was
a crying baby when he was young.
Incoming call......
“Nompe I lost my access card to the warehouse please
deactivate it” she said and hung up.
At least it not a big thing. That was Phindi who was in
the phone. She is a female hardcore gangster I
once heard that she stabbed her husband's side chick
from top to bottom of her body.
I think I need her on my side to pass her bipolar to me
when it comes to side chicks. I went to main
bedroom but he was not there I found him in the
121 | P a g e
kitchen drinking coffee. I never thought I will see
this day Samkelo thee SK drinking coffee.
Me: “I didn’t know that you drink coffee”
He is in deep thoughts.
Me: “Babe” I spanked him.
He smiled
Me: “Something on your mind” I made a cup of coffee
Incoming call again......
Kat: “Cash heist Saturday night”
Me: “Sure Ta Kat” he hung after he said what he
wanted to say.
My plans are cancelled on Wednesday. I can’t go
during weekdays because I must go to work. My job
at Dlamini attorneys is just a cover nje qha but I like
what I’m doing.
He is a Gang leader and we call him Ta Kat. Andile is
right hand man and Samkelo is a leader in Durban.
I did my training but I was trained with real people. I
fought with a snitch and I killed another one on
the killing training.
Samkelo: “Cash heist?”
Our night convo.
Me: “Yes babe cash heist my plans are cancelled”
I never thought I will have such conversation with my
man but here I am. I gave him massage but he
is tense I don't know why.
Samkelo: “Saturday you are going with me Kat Andile
and the others”
122 | P a g e
Silence.
Samkelo: “I don’t like it babe but you're in now there is
no turning back”
Me: "Yeah I know babe”
He is cruel when it comes to the gym. I must be fit so I
go to the gym at 04:00am before I go to work.
They told me that he has no mercy on the gym but
what I saw was torture in all forms.
Its Saturday morning when I woke up Samkelo was not
in bed. Where is he?
My phone rings
Samkelo: “Babe I’m at Kat's house you will meet me
here for lunch”
Me: “Okay babe” I ended the call.
No Good morning. It’s okay but I miss him though.
On the night I joined "The EAGLES" I saw his back for
the first time. I saw his tattoo our Gang tattoo .
When I asked him why he hid it from me he said it was
too dangerous for both us to see his tattoo and
tell someone about it. That man can hide things just to
think he hid tattoo maybe they are so many
hidden things about him. I know the bad side of him I
don't think the is worse side of him than that.
I went to Kat's house the guys and their Ladies were
here including Thabi. He came to me.
Samkelo: “Sthandwa sam” he said with that deep sexy
voice.
He can put me in any mood from now on.... but I’m not
123 | P a g e
here for that.... I came for lunch.
Ta Kat cooked what are we celebrating? We went to
dining room and sitter the table was set already
when I got there. Ladies are sipping wine and gents are
on beers. My poor friend is drinking Orange
juice.
Kat: “I would like to congratulate Andile and Thabi”
Silence.
We heard door opening everyone was surprised by
that. Kat took his gun out and they all took in the
door. They all stood up but us ladies we were witted.
“There is a party but no bothered to tell us” it’s the rich
kids(Lwandile Mbuso Sphe and Zamo).
They quickly sit down and put away their guns.
Kat: “Nxaa it you
Why they are here? Nxaa its September school
holidays.
Oh Father God! They found chairs and came to the
dining room.
Mbuso: “We can eat now”
Samkelo smacked his head.
Kat: “Who invited you here”
They laughed him and he was laughing too. It’s the first
time to see him laughing so hard.
Kat: “As I was saying Andile and Thabi are expecting”
I heard lots of congrats around the table.
Mbuso: “I will name him Nogwaja ozikhundlakhundla”
Silence
124 | P a g e
We all busted out laughing. I wasn’t expecting that
from Mbuso.
Andile: “Uyanya ingane kabana leyo ozoyiqambanga
leyonto?(you're crazy. Whose child we will be
named by the name?)”
Thabi is starting to show now.
Kat: “Do you know what that means or you just like
saying it nje”
Model C was impressed by that saying nje.
Mbuso: “No bra I heard someone saying it and I like it”
We laughed at him even Thabi is laughing. Andile was
complaining about her mood swings and
cravings.
Lol
It’s their first child and Andile is so obsessed about it
on other hand Thabi don’t want Andile near her.
They are always fighting I like to see them doing that
.Andile paid the damages to Thabi's parents for
the baby.
In Zulu culture when you got the child out of wedlock
the father of the baby must pay the damages
but it’s not given him the rights to the baby. He can
take care of a child and see the child but the child
belongs on its mother's family.
Lwandile: “When will I get a nephew or niece?”
I wonder who he is talking to. I hope it’s not my man it
should be Kat he is old but no kid.
Kat: “Uzoshayeka boy”
125 | P a g e
We all cracked out laughing. We knew the question
was direct to him but indirectly. I was laughing
but I was thinking about today's mission. I hope this
brat will spend their holidays here not at my
“house”. I don't know why they didn't spend the
holidays in Durban.
Andile: “I don’t want any brat on my house my lady
here has no time to entertain you”
I’m not alone who don't want them near me.
Kat : “You will stay here with me
They just looked worried after he said that.
Them: “Okay”
They are not happy about it. That means no clubbing
no house parties and no gets together.
I heard that Lwandile and Mbuso grew up here in Cape
Town but Sphe and Zamo grew up in Vryheird
with their parents. Zamo and Sphe’s father is a brother
of Samkelo’s mother. Their surname is Ndlovu
so Lwandile asked Kat to take them from Vryheird to
Cape Town to get better education so it’s like it’s
his kids.
He keeps them in line.
----------------
We left them there so it just the two of us here....
Me: “Babe” I spanked him.
He is standing in the dining room looking outside the
window. What I don’t understand is what is he
looking at because its dark outside. I’m behind him my
126 | P a g e
hand went down there.......
He is quiet.
Samkelo: “Babe not now” he walked away.
But I miss him.
Samkelo: “I have to focus. I’m leading the cash heist”
Wait he said he is leading this mission. I must work
with him tonight. I must physical and emotional fit
because when he is leading a mission he is sexier and
cuter. When I got to main bedroom I found him
sitting on the edge of the bed. I took my black skinny
jean black long sleeve mustard scarf and police
high heel boots I dressed up and he was looking at me.
Samkelo: “You and I will always be together”
Silence.
He got up and dressed. I went to the kitchen poured
myself in his whiskey and gulped it
Samkelo: “My love”
I turned to look in his direction.
Samkelo: “I never thought I will see this day. I'm a
hardcore gangster but I never thought I can be on
a mission with the woman I love”
He is behind me now. He is breathing on my ear. Okay
that my cue.
Me: “I never thought I can be a gangster let alone to
love one but here I am loving you and we are in
this together”
It’s like feels like goodbye but we will make it.
Me: “Let’s do this my love
127 | P a g e
Reaching my hand to him. He gave me his hand so we
are doing it together. Our mission is at the mall
but we will in the bush 45km away from the mall so it a
perfect spot. When we got there we found
Kat and Andile and the guys already there but we were
early.
Ayanda: “How are my two love birds” One of our guys.
I smacked his head
SK: “Good babe”
Tomorrow we must be in Durban the is a situation
there so first thing in the morning. After two hours
in the bush we took our guns and we headed to the
mall. We got in and we did the safe and clean job.
We used another Exit to leave the mall so the cars
were on another side. I was nervous but with him
near me I was fine.
Sigh.
It was my first time so nothing bad happened so I can
relax now. We went to the warehouse to count
all the money. Andile’s company will launder the
money this time. We have been our own Charted
accountants Police as our spies doctors in every
department we have our member there so we don't
have to beg.
When we arrived in our house we took a long bath in a
shower. We have a big shower but he was
behind me in not time.
He is breathing on my ear in a deep lust breathe.
128 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I miss you”
He is kissing me on my neck. I’m enjoying it but I won't
show it to him. I'm still bathing and I act as if
I’m not interested in what he is doing.
Samkelo: “Babe”
I kept quiet. He continued what he was doing.
Samkelo: “Please babe”
He turned me to look at him. He scooped my face up to
face him. Our eyes met. He kissed me and I'm
glad I kissed him back. His hands were on my waist just
before I knew it.... He grabbed me up by my
waist and my legs were around his waist... He pinned
me on the shower wall and water is still dripping
on us
He is rough today but I won’t stop him.... I like it rough
on other days.
“Ahhhh babe” he is groaning like an animal
I never saw him behaving like this. He is really moving
faster and my arms are around his neck. I love
him so much but he can him sometimes. We both
came he put me down. We stood on a dripping
water him hugging me from behind.
I know that we are not done yet it’s going to be a long
night......
In the morning I woke up and I started from bathroom
then to the kitchen. I must make breakfast for
my man I’m sure he is so hungry after a long night we
had......
129 | P a g e
I’m wearing his t-shirt and no panty when I was about
to finish he came to the kitchen he now spoiled
the breakfast in bed.
Okay.

Chapter 13

He came behind I felt his warm hands on my bums. No

he can't we had a lot of sex last night.
Samkelo: “Babe” that deep sexy voice of his….
Me: “Hayi manje Mbulazi”
I wonder what he is thinking.
Samkelo: “Ngikuphe Kahle babe”
I just turned to look at him. We kissed I felt my body
warm. He turned off the stove and we shared
along and passionate kiss. His hands on my ass
touching...
Samkelo: “You don’t need panties babe it saves me
time”
He is naughty.......
Kat: “Hayi get a room!”
We just stopped!
Luckily I wasn’t on the counter this time. They are here.
Who invited them early in the morning ruining
our moment? Yhooo!
Samkelo: “What do you want vele ekuseni kangaka?”
he is irritated tone.
130 | P a g e
LOL.
Why they are still standing.
Samkelo: “Go to the tv room”
I must go to the main bedroom to get dressed.
Mbuso: “But we are hungry....”
Samkelo: “Voetsek”
They laughed at him.
I ran to the main bedroom so I came out more
representable. I must make the full breakfast because
the hood is here. Thabi and Andile came too but Thabi
is the first to come in following by Andile with
her bag. She came to me to the kitchen and they went
to the dining room.
Thabi: “He is really annoying me!”
She is five months pregnant and “Nogwaja
ozikhundlakhundla” make them fight all the time.
Me: “What happened mngani?”
She took her phone typed something
Thabi: “Done”
I wonder what she is going.
Thabi: “He refused to stop at the filling station because
I wanted a burger” She is angry
Me: “Sorry mngani”
Minutes later the doorbell rings he quickly went to get
it. She came eating her chicken burger and
another burger take away.
Andile: “Babe you can't eat a burger early in the
morning...”
131 | P a g e
She is eating that burger in a slow motion to annoy
Andile.
Thabi: “Can you please don't disturb me”
We are looking at them now. Andile came towards her
and tried to take the takeaway. She just cried.
Yhooo! Pregnant women are drama Queens I tell you.
Mbuso : “Haah bra just let her eats her burgers”
Andile has a soft spot for his little brother he smiles
more often in his presence I also saw that to Kat
and Lwandile. He gave her back her burgers and
Lwandile tried to calm her down.
Thabi: “Mxm”
She sat down and we all looked at her eating that
chicken burgers that made her cry you'd swear as if
she is eating something she never ate before.
We all laughed at her.
Kat: “Please sort that problem in Durban” he told to
Samkelo
I must get to pack our overnight bags for Durban.
Mbuso & Lwandile: “We will stay here”
Bloody opportunistic brats.
Kat: “No you are going with me”
They looked at each other than to Samkelo.
Samkelo: “Okay stay but I will be back tomorrow then
you will leave”
They just laughed and looked at each other.
--------
I call my family each an everyday. I want them to go
132 | P a g e
back home now but I must sort things first.
In last two weeks Lulonke called me asking why I
posted Nokuthula’s nude pictures. I didn’t deny I told
him that I would not let any bitch do anything to me.
My aunt called me last week and asked if I'm stilling
using my flat. She wanted a place for her daughter
who is my cousin Luthando. I gave her the place with
that Anele I don't know. I don't understand there
as on they wanted a flat because they were living in
Res. I must check the place tomorrow before I
leave.
“Babe please be ready at 19:00 we have a meeting
with the gang at 20:00” SMS from him
Okay I know some of the members but not all of them.
I won't cook because he is not here. In second
thoughts I will cook in case he wants his food. I
remember the other day he went out with the guys in
Cape he came home drunk and he wanted his food at
02:43. He was singing and doing all the annoying
things.
Avela: “Hayi marn ufuna ntoni? (What do you want?)”
He is rude naturally and I've accepted that.
Me: “Can you please plant 720P WiFi IP light bulb
camera I need to spy on Luxolo Mbangatha's family”
I ended the call after
You must get to the point when speaking to him
because he hates to be disturbed with whatever he
is doing. I heard that he is engaged to a Xhosa girl. I
133 | P a g e
wish to see her.
He is light in complexion like my man and he also have
muscles small eyes.
It’s time for Luxolo to meet his forefathers. He will feel
my wrath.
He came back at 19:00 and he went to take shower.
When he came back he was smelling fresh and
clean.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm hungry”
God works in mysterious way!
Luckily I cooked so I went to dished up for him. We ate
together.
Samkelo: “Thanks babe for the delicious food”
That what I like about him. He always complements my
food appreciate my efforts.
I went to get ready for the meeting. I took my laptop
my black pistols that are loaded and my phone
I was ready to go.
Samkelo: “Are you sure that your pistols are loaded?”
Just to think I'm speaking with my man you will not
believe it.
Me: “Yes babe I'm sure I checked them”
He always reminds me that. He is always driving when
we are going to the mission or meetings. We
went to the warehouse but behind it. We found them
there but I was told that the others are on the
way. I greeted and I found a chair to sit on I'm tired.
At 20:00 they were all here. I was introduced to the
134 | P a g e
Gang on this side but well some of the I know
them.
Samkelo: “Fly what happened with drugs?” He is the
one who is standing and talking.
Silence.
Samkelo: “Mahlafuna what happened with the rhino
horns?”
He is so scary right now and his voice is even deeper
when he is angry.
Fly: “Boss we were hijacked that's why they were
delays about the drug distribution”
Use masimbeni lomjita!
Samkelo: “What do were do when we have that
problem?”
Us: “We lay low and strike like an EAGLE”
So why did they didn't strike. He is just like his brother
he can make you to walk on eggs.
Samkelo: “Someone is after us so you have a clue?”
Mahlafuna: “Boss the is the new Gang in town I think
its them”
Another problem now is the new rival gang. We
haven't dealt with the old rival gang and now this.
The meeting took time because we have to rich the
decision of new rival gang must be eliminated.
When the meeting was adjourned we stayed
there........
I think my eyes are deceiving me.
Me: “Zee!”
135 | P a g e
She is not shocked to see me.
Zee: “Hey Gazi”
I’m still shocked.
Me: “I wasn't expecting to see you here”
She laughed at me. I hope it’s not what I'm thinking....
Zee: “I heard that you joined us”
Wait....
This explains why she saved Samkelo’s number as SK
(boss). When we were having dinner with girls
my battery died so asked her to use her phone that’s
how I saw it. It didn’t make sense but now I see.
Me: “Yeah I joined the Gang”
I have my reasons for that. My family is everything. I
can do anything for them I can crossfire go under
the water or anything just to save them. My Mom used
to say I was supposed to be a boy not a girl.
I'm a hardcore naturally.
Me: “We must plan Thabi’s baby shower”
Zee: “Yeah sure call me then” she hugged me and said
goodbyes.
I think she has a mission or she is rushing to her man. I
must call her Nontu and Nokwe will take over
I'm sure. I must plan it to and it must be at Cape but
not in her house but we will figure something
out.
Our boys went to install them when the whole family
was in church. He will not see me coming. They
confirmed when Paul fetched us at the airport.
136 | P a g e
Samkelo's phone rang when Paul fetched us but he
didn't answer.
I hope it’s not one of his floozies.
It rings again.
Samkelo: “Ehhen….Eish....Okay” he hung up
He must not test me. I will not lose focus now because
everything will turn upside down.
Silence.
When we got home the police cars ambulance was
there in front of our house. What is going on here?
Samkelo: “Fuck!”
Police raided our house. There is no illegal substance or
objects in that house. We got inside.
Mayhem!
The furniture is upside down. It a mess.
Stains of blood on the floor when you're enter in the
main door. The passage is messy dining chairs
are broken in the passage. The kitchen is a pigsty. The
tv screen is broken and Samkelo's favourite
white fluffy mat has blood stains and couches has
bottles.
Samkelo: “What the fuck happened here!”
His expensive Italian style furniture is broken and his
house is a mess.
Kat: “Calm do...”
Samkelo: “Don't tell me to calm down!”
I won't even try to talk to him when he is this angry.
Where is the "Big Four" the brats? We call them
137 | P a g e
the Big Four because they are always together. We left
them here but when we came back they are
not here.
Me: “What happened?”
Silence.
Kat: “They hosted a party here but something went
wrong. Avela came here to check up on you guys
but he found them here partying”
Me: “Where are they now?”
Kat: “Police station. They will spend a night there just.
I'm not getting involved”
Samkelo is somewhere in the house and he is so angry.
Me: “I will go to the Police station”
Kat just looked at me.
Samkelo: “You won't do that” I didn't see him coming.
Me: “I will go and get them. They must face their sins”
I understand that he is angry right now but punishing
them with jail is a bit wrong. I will find a good
punishment for them.
Samkelo: “I don't want to fight with you today so
please just listen to me” his voice is cold.
I went to main bedroom I changed a dress and I wore
white Jordan tracksuits and Jordan sneakers
and I took my overnight bag and I filled it with money. I
found them still standing in the kitchen I took
my phone and his car keys.
Samkelo: “You don't listen to me” he said as I made my
way to the door.
138 | P a g e
I didn't say anything.
Samkelo: “I dare you to walk out to that door!”
I walked out to that door and I went to his black
Mercedes AMG Cla 200. I started the car and drove
off. I declared a war to him leaving when he said I must
not go to the police station.
Me: “My four boys are arrested. I'm on my way there”
Austin: “Sure Nomps” he ended the call
Austin is a policeman but something went wrong. Avela
came here to check up on you guys
but he found them here partying”
Me: “Where are they now?”
Kat: “Police station. They will spend a night there just.
I'm not getting involved”
Samkelo is somewhere in the house and he is so angry.
Me: “I will go to the Police station”
Kat just looked at me.
Samkelo: “You won't do that” I didn't see him coming.
Me: “I will go and get them. They must face their sins”
I understand that he is angry right now but punishing
them with jail is a bit wrong. I will find a good
punishment for them.
Samkelo: “I don't want to fight with you today so
please just listen to me” his voice is cold.
I went to main bedroom I changed a dress and I wore
white Jordan tracksuits and Jordan sneakers
and I took my overnight bag and I filled it with money. I
found them still standing in the kitchen I took
139 | P a g e
my phone and his car keys.
Samkelo: “You don't listen to me” he said as I made my
way to the door.
I didn't say anything.
Samkelo: “I dare you to walk out to that door!”
I walked out to that door and I went to his black
Mercedes AMG Cla 200. I started the car and drove
off. I declared a war to him leaving when he said I must
not go to the police station.
Me: “My four boys are arrested. I'm on my way there”
Austin: “Sure Nomps” he ended the call
Austin is a policeman but he is a gangster he is the spy
inside the police station.
The last time I checked I was Nompe not Nomps but
ke. When I got to the police station I called Austin
and he sorted everything and the boys were out with
some silly "bail".
Them: “Thanks sis’Nompe” they all hugged me.
They think I was sent to get them out. We went to the
car and we drove off on our way to Samkelo's.
Lwandile: “We are so sorry Sis’Nompe it will never
happen again”
He is they spokesperson now.
Me: “I don’t want you fucken sorry. I risked my
relationship with your brother to bail you out!”
Silence.
They realised how tense the situation is.
Zamo: “We are s....”
140 | P a g e
I sigh.
When we entered at the main gate Thabi’s car was
following mine. They saw Kat's car and they freaked
out. I opened the main door and they were following
me and Thabi came in. Andile took Thabi outside.
He didn't want her to witness the beating that is going
to happen now.
We heard a car driving out so he took her away from
this mess.
Kat: “What happened here?”
Silence.
Kat: “I won’t repeated myself again or you want to
cry?”
Silence.
Kat: “I see you have forgotten me” he came towards
them.
They all jumped trying to run.
Kat: “Good way or bad way?”
Them: “Good way” their voices were so low.
They came to him. He first slapped Lwandile and he
was in the floor crying then Mbuso Sphe and
Zamo. Those slaps gave me Goosebumps.
Kat: “You wanted to stay here to throw a party?”
He took out the sjambok. They didn't jump out they all
laid down on the floor with their stomachs.
The way they did that it’s not the first time Kat is
beating them up and they know him too well .I won't
speak for them I played my part to get them out of jail.
141 | P a g e
Samkelo took out a cigarette and lit it the first time I
see him smoking. Is it anger or what?
Samkelo: “What happened here? I need the whole
story” he was puffing cigarette.
Silence.
Zamo: “We planned a party and invited our friends and
our girlfriends” say bowing down his head.
I sigh.
Lwandile: “Everything went well until our other
girlfriends came in uninvited”
I don't think I need to hear this.
Mbuso: “They found us in the tv room with our
girlfriends who we invited”
This will take all night.
Sphe: “They started shouting and cursing each other
and they started to fight”
Those bitches can fight but I can do same thing if he
invites another girl in his party when I'm not
invited.
My phone is ringing........
Austin: “We have a problem here. Those girls who
came with your boys one of them is Commissioner's
daughter”
Austin: “He is here. His daughter's boyfriend is
Lwandile and he knows everything that happened
there.
Be prepared” he ended the call after.
I sigh
142 | P a g e
This is bigger than I thought. But to think the other girls
were here uninvited? This is an Estate there
is a foul play here. How can Lwandile be so careless
now we are all in this.
Me: “One of those girls that was here fighting is
Commissioner’s daughter and he knows that Lwandile
is her boyfriend”
Samkelo & Kat: “What?” Avela is also here so maybe
he can come up with solution
Me: “Did you take drugs?”
Silence
This silence means they took the drugs.
Me: “Fuck! Cocaine or Pills?”
Them: “Cocaine”
I can't believe this.
Kat: “Kiss your future goodbye boys”
Commissioner is after Kat the whole gang and now
this. The worst part is the drugs belonged to the
boys.
Me: “Sise masimbeni bafana”
I told the boys to go and take shower. I called the
cleaning company to come and clean this mess.
Samkelo: “What to do now?”
Silence.
Me: “He has a son in Durban so temp his car breaks or
something”
Them: “What?”
They look at me like I've gone crazy.
143 | P a g e
Me: “We need something that he can focus on right
now while we think what to do next”
Avela: “Or plan hijack and beat him up”
At least someone here is thinking.
Kat: “He doesn’t have to die”
Wow! That’s rich coming from him but he is right on
that one. He doesn’t have to die.
Samkelo: “I will call our boys in Durban to organise it
quickly”
I’m still thinking of the punishment I'm going to give
those brats.
The following morning I wanted to check on Thabi. I
drove to their house first found Andile in the
kitchen.
Me: “Morning Baba kaNogwaja”
Nogwaja is the rabbit but in Zulu we call it Nogwaja. He
bursted out laughing.
Me: “Where is madam?”
She comes downstairs dressed in some ugly wool
dress. My friend likes classy clothes unlike me.
Pregnancy changed her completely.
Andile: “You can’t wear those shoes”
She walks towards us in the kitchen.
Me: “Maka Nogwaja”
I hugged her. She laughed and turned to give Andile a
scary stare.
Andile: “Thabi please don't test me in the morning take
those shoes off. You will hurt yourself and my
144 | P a g e
child” he is irritated.
She doesn’t give a damn what he just said now.
He drives her to work. He makes sure that her healthy
lunch is delivery to her. He doesn’t want her to
wear high heel because she might get hurt.
Me: “I hope you heard the whole story of Nogwaja’s
uncle and His friends did to my house”
He sighs.
Andile: “I will deal with them today!”
He gave me a look. I take it as he heard about the
Commissioner being after us for this saga. Thabi
went upstairs she said she forgot something.
Andile: “We must clean our warehouse” he whispered.
Me: “Sure” We went out and I drove off to work.
I’m still an assistant. Andile said he won’t promote me
because he doesn’t want me to have a lot of
work he wants me to focus on the other “business”
that is the Gang.
Mondays are slow and I hate them. I’m tired I just need
my bed. I’m quiet around the office but they
say I’m full of myself and I think that I’m better than
them.
I will let that pass.
My phone is ringing......
Nokwe: “Mngani”
Me: “Unjani mngani?”
Nokwe: “I didn't call for that. I planned Thabi’s baby
shower but I will need your help about the
145 | P a g e
venue”
Me: “Okay sweetheart I will talk to Andile first and hear
what he will suggest”
Nokwe: “Don't ask him Mngani. We can book some
lodge or something”
Me: “Andile don't want Thabi to be out there especially
in her condition so I will ask him first”
Nokwe: “But mngani”
Me: “I will go ask him now so I will get back to you in
after 10 minutes”
I continued with my work after 10 minutes I called her.
I will not put their lives in danger. Many of our
enemies are after us. Thabi is seven months pregnant
now. Her tummy is big. She doesn’t understand
I see. I don’t want anything bad happen to us especially
to Thabi. Andile will give us his house. I will
not entertain her about this.
Me: “He said the venue is at his house as I told you”
Nokwe: “Mxm” she hung up.
I went to Andile’s office and I told him about baby
shower and I told him that the venue is at his house.
He thanks me for dealing with Nokwe for him. Nokwe
can talk and she will call him and give him a
piece of her mind.
Zee and I oversee guarding their girlfriends and wives
who don't know about their Gangsters
boyfriends and husbands.
One day the truth will come out….
146 | P a g e
------------
Its time now. Samkelo is in Durban to handle a
shipment there. I'm alone in this house so I better do
what I promised. I went to study and opened my
laptop. I have pictures and videos of Luxolo's family.
I told the guys to install the trackers on their empty
suitcases in case Luxolo try to move them.
“Your family is beautiful but your little sister I can make
money out of her” SMS I sent to Luxolo I
attached their pictures when they we asleep.
He will go crazy and the number I'm using is
untraceable. He will feel my wrath soon. I know
everything
about his family. His mother is diabetic his father have
a heart problems his old brother has
depression his little brother is an alcoholic and his little
sister is allergic to red meat so even if I wanted
his attention it would be so easy to do something with
them.
“I know that you killed your brother's wife in the cash
heist that happened in Sandton 3 years ago”
SMS I sent to him after 5 minutes.
He killed his brother’s wife who was a police officer in
Sandton. The police were tipped about the cash
heist so the time they started his brother's wife saw
him so he decided to kill her and the other police
who were there to avoid going jail. I will tell him the
facts I know about him.
147 | P a g e
I stayed up until 2:00am. I must sleep because
tomorrow after work I must go to sonke place I don't
know thanks Nokwe who live to order me around. I
must order a cake for Thabi's baby shower she
even sent me a picture of a cake.
Her relationship with a pilot is great and she is so
happy he showers he with money. I must set an
alarm because he is not here. About 20 minutes in bed
I heard my phone ringing....
This can't be happening!
"Can you please come here in my house"-she say.
I must come up with an idea to get that woman out of
the house. Its 08:00am I must take her for
shopping.
Me: “Mama ka Nogwaja!”
Thabi: “Yini!?”
Yhooo I can’t wait to be next month. She is due next
month so she will go back to her old self.
Me: “Take your bag we are going out!” I shouted going
upstairs.
What is she doing here?
God.
She is busy hiding Andile's clothes.
Me: “What the hell?” She laughed.
Pregnancy can change a sweet little thing to a big
monster with sharp teeth and red eyes ready to bite
your head off.
Thabi: “I'm hiding his clothes I hate this crap”
148 | P a g e
She is hiding her man's t-shirts and shorts.
Thabi: “Ungicika kabi Bese egqoke eveza amadolo
acijile”
She is irritated by those clothes. Like really?
Andile is thin and tall. He is a yellow bone if I can put in
that way. He is cute with a baby face with
dimples with big ears. That's why his nickname is
Madlebe and its suits him so perfect.
Maybe that why his child will be named Nogwaja or it
something I don't know.
Me: “Let's go!” I took her bag on the couch in the main
bedroom.
We are using my “car”. I must accept that offer of him
buying me a car. I wanted to finish extending
at home then “buy” a car after that. “On our way to
mall” I sent SMS to Nokwe.
She doesn’t know anything about it. She is buying
another baby's clothes. Andile bought Jeep baby
pram. The baby is a boy and he is too excited this child
will turn him to a softie.
I wonder how he hides all this gangster is thing to
Thabi.
Thabi: “I'm hungry now”
She is alive. This is the first sign I concluded that she is
pregnant. We headed to the restaurant. She
ordered chicken burger she is always craving it. We
spend almost 2 hours in the mall but I was forcing
her. She complained that she is tired so yeah we must
149 | P a g e
go back now but I need 30 minutes
Thabi: “I wish to know where he is?”
Huh?
Thabi: “I miss him now” she smiled.
Me: “I thought you hate him in the moment”
She is talking about her man.
Thabi: “He annoys me that what I can say. I love him
and I miss him so much”
I gave her a silly stare.
Thabi: “Yeah I love him for foot massages mhm”
I don't know what to think now.
Thabi: “I like it gently these days”
Lord give me strength.
Me: “Unborn Child Abuse!”
Men are bad creatures I tell you.
Me: “With this big tummy of yours?”
“On our way back so be ready” I sent SMS to Nokwe.
She is a baby shower/party/bash/problem organiser.
Thabi: “Yes Hunny with a big tummy”
Lol.
This woman will amaze you.
Incoming call....
Me: “Boss”
Andile: “Is she okay?”
Me: “She is fine. We on our way back”
Andile: “Mhm okay”
I told them not to park their cars in front of the house.
Andile's car is here but I know that he is not
150 | P a g e
there Kat took him out. Samkelo is in Durban for two
weeks.
We are here so I have she has to go first........
“Surprise!!”
She is quiet. She is crying now. Why she is crying now?
Or hormones are acting up now.
Thabi: “Thanks my friends” she is crying and laughing
at the same time.
Nontu Zee Phindi and other ladies and her female
collogues are here so the place is packed. She went
to change that sack she was wearing to long silk
mustard dress with grey sleepers. Thabi that I know!
Nokwe: “The party can start now!”

Chapter 13

He came behind I felt his warm hands on my bums. No

he can't we had a lot of sex last night.
Samkelo: “Babe” that deep sexy voice of his….
Me: “Hayi manje Mbulazi”
I wonder what he is thinking.
Samkelo: “Ngikuphe Kahle babe”
I just turned to look at him. We kissed I felt my body
warm. He turned off the stove and we shared
along and passionate kiss. His hands on my ass
touching...
Samkelo: “You don’t need panties babe it saves me
time”
151 | P a g e
He is naughty.......
Kat: “Hayi get a room!”
We just stopped!
Luckily I wasn’t on the counter this time. They are here.
Who invited them early in the morning ruining
our moment? Yhooo!
Samkelo: “What do you want vele ekuseni kangaka?”
he is irritated tone.
LOL.
Why they are still standing.
Samkelo: “Go to the tv room”
I must go to the main bedroom to get dressed.
Mbuso: “But we are hungry....”
Samkelo: “Voetsek”
They laughed at him.
I ran to the main bedroom so I came out more
representable. I must make the full breakfast because
the hood is here. Thabi and Andile came too but Thabi
is the first to come in following by Andile with
her bag. She came to me to the kitchen and they went
to the dining room.
Thabi: “He is really annoying me!”
She is five months pregnant and “Nogwaja
ozikhundlakhundla” make them fight all the time.
Me: “What happened mngani?”
She took her phone typed something
Thabi: “Done”
I wonder what she is going.
152 | P a g e
Thabi: “He refused to stop at the filling station because
I wanted a burger” She is angry
Me: “Sorry mngani”
Minutes later the doorbell rings he quickly went to get
it. She came eating her chicken burger and
another burger take away.
Andile: “Babe you can't eat a burger early in the
morning...”
She is eating that burger in a slow motion to annoy
Andile.
Thabi: “Can you please don't disturb me”
We are looking at them now. Andile came towards her
and tried to take the takeaway. She just cried.
Yhooo! Pregnant women are drama Queens I tell you.
Mbuso : “Haah bra just let her eats her burgers”
Andile has a soft spot for his little brother he smiles
more often in his presence I also saw that to Kat
and Lwandile. He gave her back her burgers and
Lwandile tried to calm her down.
Thabi: “Mxm”
She sat down and we all looked at her eating that
chicken burgers that made her cry you'd swear as if
she is eating something she never ate before.
We all laughed at her.
Kat: “Please sort that problem in Durban” he told to
Samkelo
I must get to pack our overnight bags for Durban.
Mbuso & Lwandile: “We will stay here”
153 | P a g e
Bloody opportunistic brats.
Kat: “No you are going with me”
They looked at each other than to Samkelo.
Samkelo: “Okay stay but I will be back tomorrow then
you will leave”
They just laughed and looked at each other.
--------
I call my family each an everyday. I want them to go
back home now but I must sort things first.
In last two weeks Lulonke called me asking why I
posted Nokuthula’s nude pictures. I didn’t deny I told
him that I would not let any bitch do anything to me.
My aunt called me last week and asked if I'm stilling
using my flat. She wanted a place for her daughter
who is my cousin Luthando. I gave her the place with
that Anele I don't know. I don't understand there
as on they wanted a flat because they were living in
Res. I must check the place tomorrow before I
leave.
“Babe please be ready at 19:00 we have a meeting
with the gang at 20:00” SMS from him
Okay I know some of the members but not all of them.
I won't cook because he is not here. In second
thoughts I will cook in case he wants his food. I
remember the other day he went out with the guys in
Cape he came home drunk and he wanted his food at
02:43. He was singing and doing all the annoying
things.
154 | P a g e
Avela: “Hayi marn ufuna ntoni? (What do you want?)”
He is rude naturally and I've accepted that.
Me: “Can you please plant 720P WiFi IP light bulb
camera I need to spy on Luxolo Mbangatha's family”
I ended the call after
You must get to the point when speaking to him
because he hates to be disturbed with whatever he
is doing. I heard that he is engaged to a Xhosa girl. I
wish to see her.
He is light in complexion like my man and he also have
muscles small eyes.
It’s time for Luxolo to meet his forefathers. He will feel
my wrath.
He came back at 19:00 and he went to take shower.
When he came back he was smelling fresh and
clean.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm hungry”
God works in mysterious way!
Luckily I cooked so I went to dished up for him. We ate
together.
Samkelo: “Thanks babe for the delicious food”
That what I like about him. He always complements my
food appreciate my efforts.
I went to get ready for the meeting. I took my laptop
my black pistols that are loaded and my phone
I was ready to go.
Samkelo: “Are you sure that your pistols are loaded?”
Just to think I'm speaking with my man you will not
155 | P a g e
believe it.
Me: “Yes babe I'm sure I checked them”
He always reminds me that. He is always driving when
we are going to the mission or meetings. We
went to the warehouse but behind it. We found them
there but I was told that the others are on the
way. I greeted and I found a chair to sit on I'm tired.
At 20:00 they were all here. I was introduced to the
Gang on this side but well some of the I know
them.
Samkelo: “Fly what happened with drugs?” He is the
one who is standing and talking.
Silence.
Samkelo: “Mahlafuna what happened with the rhino
horns?”
He is so scary right now and his voice is even deeper
when he is angry.
Fly: “Boss we were hijacked that's why they were
delays about the drug distribution”
Use masimbeni lomjita!
Samkelo: “What do were do when we have that
problem?”
Us: “We lay low and strike like an EAGLE”
So why did they didn't strike. He is just like his brother
he can make you to walk on eggs.
Samkelo: “Someone is after us so you have a clue?”
Mahlafuna: “Boss the is the new Gang in town I think
its them”
156 | P a g e
Another problem now is the new rival gang. We
haven't dealt with the old rival gang and now this.
The meeting took time because we have to rich the
decision of new rival gang must be eliminated.
When the meeting was adjourned we stayed
there........
I think my eyes are deceiving me.
Me: “Zee!”
She is not shocked to see me.
Zee: “Hey Gazi”
I’m still shocked.
Me: “I wasn't expecting to see you here”
She laughed at me. I hope it’s not what I'm thinking....
Zee: “I heard that you joined us”
Wait....
This explains why she saved Samkelo’s number as SK
(boss). When we were having dinner with girls
my battery died so asked her to use her phone that’s
how I saw it. It didn’t make sense but now I see.
Me: “Yeah I joined the Gang”
I have my reasons for that. My family is everything. I
can do anything for them I can crossfire go under
the water or anything just to save them. My Mom used
to say I was supposed to be a boy not a girl.
I'm a hardcore naturally.
Me: “We must plan Thabi’s baby shower”
Zee: “Yeah sure call me then” she hugged me and said
goodbyes.
157 | P a g e
I think she has a mission or she is rushing to her man. I
must call her Nontu and Nokwe will take over
I'm sure. I must plan it to and it must be at Cape but
not in her house but we will figure something
out.
Our boys went to install them when the whole family
was in church. He will not see me coming. They
confirmed when Paul fetched us at the airport.
Samkelo's phone rang when Paul fetched us but he
didn't answer.
I hope it’s not one of his floozies.
It rings again.
Samkelo: “Ehhen….Eish....Okay” he hung up
He must not test me. I will not lose focus now because
everything will turn upside down.
Silence.
When we got home the police cars ambulance was
there in front of our house. What is going on here?
Samkelo: “Fuck!”
Police raided our house. There is no illegal substance or
objects in that house. We got inside.
Mayhem!
The furniture is upside down. It a mess.
Stains of blood on the floor when you're enter in the
main door. The passage is messy dining chairs
are broken in the passage. The kitchen is a pigsty. The
tv screen is broken and Samkelo's favourite
white fluffy mat has blood stains and couches has
158 | P a g e
bottles.
Samkelo: “What the fuck happened here!”
His expensive Italian style furniture is broken and his
house is a mess.
Kat: “Calm do...”
Samkelo: “Don't tell me to calm down!”
I won't even try to talk to him when he is this angry.
Where is the "Big Four" the brats? We call them
the Big Four because they are always together. We left
them here but when we came back they are
not here.
Me: “What happened?”
Silence.
Kat: “They hosted a party here but something went
wrong. Avela came here to check up on you guys
but he found them here partying”
Me: “Where are they now?”
Kat: “Police station. They will spend a night there just.
I'm not getting involved”
Samkelo is somewhere in the house and he is so angry.
Me: “I will go to the Police station”
Kat just looked at me.
Samkelo: “You won't do that” I didn't see him coming.
Me: “I will go and get them. They must face their sins”
I understand that he is angry right now but punishing
them with jail is a bit wrong. I will find a good
punishment for them.
Samkelo: “I don't want to fight with you today so
159 | P a g e
please just listen to me” his voice is cold.
I went to main bedroom I changed a dress and I wore
white Jordan tracksuits and Jordan sneakers
and I took my overnight bag and I filled it with money. I
found them still standing in the kitchen I took
my phone and his car keys.
Samkelo: “You don't listen to me” he said as I made my
way to the door.
I didn't say anything.
Samkelo: “I dare you to walk out to that door!”
I walked out to that door and I went to his black
Mercedes AMG Cla 200. I started the car and drove
off. I declared a war to him leaving when he said I must
not go to the police station.
Me: “My four boys are arrested. I'm on my way there”
Austin: “Sure Nomps” he ended the call
Austin is a policeman but something went wrong. Avela
came here to check up on you guys
but he found them here partying”
Me: “Where are they now?”
Kat: “Police station. They will spend a night there just.
I'm not getting involved”
Samkelo is somewhere in the house and he is so angry.
Me: “I will go to the Police station”
Kat just looked at me.
Samkelo: “You won't do that” I didn't see him coming.
Me: “I will go and get them. They must face their sins”
I understand that he is angry right now but punishing
160 | P a g e
them with jail is a bit wrong. I will find a good
punishment for them.
Samkelo: “I don't want to fight with you today so
please just listen to me” his voice is cold.
I went to main bedroom I changed a dress and I wore
white Jordan tracksuits and Jordan sneakers
and I took my overnight bag and I filled it with money. I
found them still standing in the kitchen I took
my phone and his car keys.
Samkelo: “You don't listen to me” he said as I made my
way to the door.
I didn't say anything.
Samkelo: “I dare you to walk out to that door!”
I walked out to that door and I went to his black

off. I declared a war to him leaving when he said I must
not go to the police station.
Me: “My four boys are arrested. I'm on my way there”
Austin: “Sure Nomps” he ended the call
Austin is a policeman but he is a gangster he is the spy
inside the police station.
The last time I checked I was Nompe not Nomps but
ke. When I got to the police station I called Austin
and he sorted everything and the boys were out with
some silly "bail".
Them: “Thanks sis’Nompe” they all hugged me.
They think I was sent to get them out. We went to the
car and we drove off on our way to Samkelo's.
161 | P a g e
Lwandile: “We are so sorry Sis’Nompe it will never
happen again”
He is they spokesperson now.
Me: “I don’t want you fucken sorry. I risked my
relationship with your brother to bail you out!”
Silence.
They realised how tense the situation is.
Zamo: “We are s....”
I sigh.
When we entered at the main gate Thabi’s car was
following mine. They saw Kat's car and they freaked
out. I opened the main door and they were following
me and Thabi came in. Andile took Thabi outside.
He didn't want her to witness the beating that is going
to happen now.
We heard a car driving out so he took her away from
this mess.
Kat: “What happened here?”
Silence.
Kat: “I won’t repeated myself again or you want to
cry?”
Silence.
Kat: “I see you have forgotten me” he came towards
them.
They all jumped trying to run.
Kat: “Good way or bad way?”
Them: “Good way” their voices were so low.
They came to him. He first slapped Lwandile and he
162 | P a g e
was in the floor crying then Mbuso Sphe and
Zamo. Those slaps gave me Goosebumps.
Kat: “You wanted to stay here to throw a party?”
He took out the sjambok. They didn't jump out they all
laid down on the floor with their stomachs.
The way they did that it’s not the first time Kat is
beating them up and they know him too well .I won't
speak for them I played my part to get them out of jail.
Samkelo took out a cigarette and lit it the first time I
see him smoking. Is it anger or what?
Samkelo: “What happened here? I need the whole
story” he was puffing cigarette.
Silence.
Zamo: “We planned a party and invited our friends and
our girlfriends” say bowing down his head.
I sigh.
Lwandile: “Everything went well until our other
girlfriends came in uninvited”
I don't think I need to hear this.
Mbuso: “They found us in the tv room with our
girlfriends who we invited”
This will take all night.
Sphe: “They started shouting and cursing each other
and they started to fight”
Those bitches can fight but I can do same thing if he
invites another girl in his party when I'm not
invited.
My phone is ringing........
163 | P a g e
Austin: “We have a problem here. Those girls who
came with your boys one of them is Commissioner's
daughter”
Austin: “He is here. His daughter's boyfriend is
Lwandile and he knows everything that happened
there.
Be prepared” he ended the call after.
I sigh
This is bigger than I thought. But to think the other girls
were here uninvited? This is an Estate there
is a foul play here. How can Lwandile be so careless
now we are all in this.
Me: “One of those girls that was here fighting is
Commissioner’s daughter and he knows that Lwandile
is her boyfriend”
Samkelo & Kat: “What?” Avela is also here so maybe
he can come up with solution
Me: “Did you take drugs?”
Silence
This silence means they took the drugs.
Me: “Fuck! Cocaine or Pills?”
Them: “Cocaine”
I can't believe this.
Kat: “Kiss your future goodbye boys”
Commissioner is after Kat the whole gang and now
this. The worst part is the drugs belonged to the
boys.
Me: “Sise masimbeni bafana”
164 | P a g e
I told the boys to go and take shower. I called the
cleaning company to come and clean this mess.
Samkelo: “What to do now?”
Silence.
Me: “He has a son in Durban so temp his car breaks or
something”
Them: “What?”
They look at me like I've gone crazy.
Me: “We need something that he can focus on right
now while we think what to do next”
Avela: “Or plan hijack and beat him up”
At least someone here is thinking.
Kat: “He doesn’t have to die”
Wow! That’s rich coming from him but he is right on
that one. He doesn’t have to die.
Samkelo: “I will call our boys in Durban to organise it
quickly”
I’m still thinking of the punishment I'm going to give
those brats.
The following morning I wanted to check on Thabi. I
drove to their house first found Andile in the
kitchen.
Me: “Morning Baba kaNogwaja”
Nogwaja is the rabbit but in Zulu we call it Nogwaja. He
bursted out laughing.
Me: “Where is madam?”
She comes downstairs dressed in some ugly wool
dress. My friend likes classy clothes unlike me.
165 | P a g e
Pregnancy changed her completely.
Andile: “You can’t wear those shoes”
She walks towards us in the kitchen.
Me: “Maka Nogwaja”
I hugged her. She laughed and turned to give Andile a
scary stare.
Andile: “Thabi please don't test me in the morning take
those shoes off. You will hurt yourself and my
child” he is irritated.
She doesn’t give a damn what he just said now.
He drives her to work. He makes sure that her healthy
lunch is delivery to her. He doesn’t want her to
wear high heel because she might get hurt.
Me: “I hope you heard the whole story of Nogwaja’s
uncle and His friends did to my house”
He sighs.
Andile: “I will deal with them today!”
He gave me a look. I take it as he heard about the
Commissioner being after us for this saga. Thabi
went upstairs she said she forgot something.
Andile: “We must clean our warehouse” he whispered.
Me: “Sure” We went out and I drove off to work.
I’m still an assistant. Andile said he won’t promote me
because he doesn’t want me to have a lot of
work he wants me to focus on the other “business”
that is the Gang.
Mondays are slow and I hate them. I’m tired I just need
my bed. I’m quiet around the office but they
166 | P a g e
say I’m full of myself and I think that I’m better than
them.
I will let that pass.
My phone is ringing......
Nokwe: “Mngani”
Me: “Unjani mngani?”
Nokwe: “I didn't call for that. I planned Thabi’s baby
shower but I will need your help about the
venue”
Me: “Okay sweetheart I will talk to Andile first and hear
what he will suggest”
Nokwe: “Don't ask him Mngani. We can book some
lodge or something”
Me: “Andile don't want Thabi to be out there especially
in her condition so I will ask him first”
Nokwe: “But mngani”
Me: “I will go ask him now so I will get back to you in
after 10 minutes”
I continued with my work after 10 minutes I called her.
I will not put their lives in danger. Many of our
enemies are after us. Thabi is seven months pregnant
now. Her tummy is big. She doesn’t understand
I see. I don’t want anything bad happen to us especially
to Thabi. Andile will give us his house. I will
not entertain her about this.
Me: “He said the venue is at his house as I told you”
Nokwe: “Mxm” she hung up.
I went to Andile’s office and I told him about baby
167 | P a g e
shower and I told him that the venue is at his house.
He thanks me for dealing with Nokwe for him. Nokwe
can talk and she will call him and give him a
piece of her mind.
Zee and I oversee guarding their girlfriends and wives
who don't know about their Gangsters
boyfriends and husbands.
One day the truth will come out….
------------
Its time now. Samkelo is in Durban to handle a
shipment there. I'm alone in this house so I better do
what I promised. I went to study and opened my
laptop. I have pictures and videos of Luxolo's family.
I told the guys to install the trackers on their empty
suitcases in case Luxolo try to move them.
“Your family is beautiful but your little sister I can make
money out of her” SMS I sent to Luxolo I
attached their pictures when they we asleep.
He will go crazy and the number I'm using is
untraceable. He will feel my wrath soon. I know
everything
about his family. His mother is diabetic his father have
a heart problems his old brother has
depression his little brother is an alcoholic and his little
sister is allergic to red meat so even if I wanted
his attention it would be so easy to do something with
them.
“I know that you killed your brother's wife in the cash
168 | P a g e
heist that happened in Sandton 3 years ago”
SMS I sent to him after 5 minutes.
He killed his brother’s wife who was a police officer in
Sandton. The police were tipped about the cash
heist so the time they started his brother's wife saw
him so he decided to kill her and the other police
who were there to avoid going jail. I will tell him the
facts I know about him.
I stayed up until 2:00am. I must sleep because
tomorrow after work I must go to sonke place I don't
know thanks Nokwe who live to order me around. I
must order a cake for Thabi's baby shower she
even sent me a picture of a cake.
Her relationship with a pilot is great and she is so
happy he showers he with money. I must set an
alarm because he is not here. About 20 minutes in bed
I heard my phone ringing....
This can't be happening!
"Can you please come here in my house"-she say.
I must come up with an idea to get that woman out of
the house. Its 08:00am I must take her for
shopping.
Me: “Mama ka Nogwaja!”
Thabi: “Yini!?”
Yhooo I can’t wait to be next month. She is due next
month so she will go back to her old self.
Me: “Take your bag we are going out!” I shouted going
upstairs.
169 | P a g e
What is she doing here?
God.
She is busy hiding Andile's clothes.
Me: “What the hell?” She laughed.
Pregnancy can change a sweet little thing to a big
monster with sharp teeth and red eyes ready to bite
your head off.
Thabi: “I'm hiding his clothes I hate this crap”
She is hiding her man's t-shirts and shorts.
Thabi: “Ungicika kabi Bese egqoke eveza amadolo
acijile”
She is irritated by those clothes. Like really?
Andile is thin and tall. He is a yellow bone if I can put in
that way. He is cute with a baby face with
dimples with big ears. That's why his nickname is
Madlebe and its suits him so perfect.
Maybe that why his child will be named Nogwaja or it
something I don't know.
Me: “Let's go!” I took her bag on the couch in the main
bedroom.
We are using my “car”. I must accept that offer of him
buying me a car. I wanted to finish extending
at home then “buy” a car after that. “On our way to
mall” I sent SMS to Nokwe.
She doesn’t know anything about it. She is buying
another baby's clothes. Andile bought Jeep baby
pram. The baby is a boy and he is too excited this child
will turn him to a softie.
170 | P a g e
I wonder how he hides all this gangster is thing to
Thabi.
Thabi: “I'm hungry now”
She is alive. This is the first sign I concluded that she is
pregnant. We headed to the restaurant. She
ordered chicken burger she is always craving it. We
spend almost 2 hours in the mall but I was forcing
her. She complained that she is tired so yeah we must
go back now but I need 30 minutes
Thabi: “I wish to know where he is?”
Huh?
Thabi: “I miss him now” she smiled.
Me: “I thought you hate him in the moment”
She is talking about her man.
Thabi: “He annoys me that what I can say. I love him
and I miss him so much”
I gave her a silly stare.
Thabi: “Yeah I love him for foot massages mhm”
I don't know what to think now.
Thabi: “I like it gently these days”
Lord give me strength.
Me: “Unborn Child Abuse!”
Men are bad creatures I tell you.
Me: “With this big tummy of yours?”
“On our way back so be ready” I sent SMS to Nokwe.
She is a baby shower/party/bash/problem organiser.
Thabi: “Yes Hunny with a big tummy”
Lol.
171 | P a g e
This woman will amaze you.
Incoming call....
Me: “Boss”
Andile: “Is she okay?”
Me: “She is fine. We on our way back”
Andile: “Mhm okay”
I told them not to park their cars in front of the house.
Andile's car is here but I know that he is not
there Kat took him out. Samkelo is in Durban for two
weeks.
We are here so I have she has to go first........
“Surprise!!”
She is quiet. She is crying now. Why she is crying now?
Or hormones are acting up now.
Thabi: “Thanks my friends” she is crying and laughing
at the same time.
Nontu Zee Phindi and other ladies and her female
collogues are here so the place is packed. She went
to change that sack she was wearing to long silk
mustard dress with grey sleepers. Thabi that I know!
Nokwe: “The party can start now!”

Chapter 14

Nontu was MC and we have a camerawoman here.

I did background check about her I didn't want
strangers here. The party continued until five. Phindi
was the first to leave. The other ladies followed her. It
172 | P a g e
was us now we were drinking wine I made sure
not to have too much. Kat and Andile came in at
19:00.
I said my goodbyes and I'm taking Nontu with me in my
house. Thabi's baby shower was perfect! So
Nokwe is off my case now.
I prepared a guestroom for Nontu while she toured the
house.
Nontu: “This house is beautiful mtase!” she screamed
Me: “Ngiyambongela mtase”
Finally I remembered that this is not my house.
Nontu: “Who designed it?”
Oh God!
Me: “I don't know. Go to the guestroom and take a
shower”
She can ask you so many questions. She was supposed
to be a Journalist.
Nontu: “Okay” she walked away.
I quickly went to the study. I wanted to check how far
my plan is. The tracker that our guys installed
of on the luggage is on and its moving.
I need to find the location....
Nontu: “I was looking for you” she peeped on the
door.
Haaa I will check it later.
Me: “Let’s go to the kitchen” I closed the laptop and
got up from the chair before she asks many
questions.
173 | P a g e
We went to the kitchen and made something to eat so
tomorrow she is living and Monday she is in
morning shift. I like when she is around but I worry
about her safety. We ate and catch up. She went
to sleep so I went back to study to continue what I was
doing. The tracker now is in Durban but I don't
know whether it’s his or his sister or who but whoever
this is I will get what I want.
“Have a nice holiday in Durban with your family”
another SMS from me to him.
I'm sure he is cracking his head now trying to figure out
that who is sending this message. He won't
see me coming. This Monday I'm off so I need to go to
Durban to put this Luxolo thing in rest.
So we had a great Sunday with my sister. At 19:00 I
must go to Thabi’s to pick up Nokwe I will drive
them to airport.
--------------
I'm leaving in the morning to Durban. I don't
understand why we don't use Kat's private jet but I
won't
ask anyone but I'm curious.
Bloody Soldier!
I've been trying to call Samkelo but he is not answering
to my calls but I think he is in court. I will
surprise him then. I organised everything with the
Gang on that side so today's its Luxolo's day. I'm
leaving now. I'm in the first-class flight as always.
174 | P a g e
LOL.
I called Lwandile but he is in Campus so I will see them
tomorrow before I go. I hope they are behaving
well but you will never trust boys. I called the cab and
it took me straight to Samkelo's apartment in
South Beach so I want to relax because tonight I say
TONIGHT!
I tried to call him again but he didn't answer so I will go
in because I have my keys to his apartment. I
took my key and tried to unlock the door.... What is
happening because I can't open the door. The is
a key inside that is the reason.
I knocked.
Samkelo: “Who is that!”
Its better he is here.
Me: “It’s me open!”
He took long to open the door. He is so shocked to see
me.
Samkelo: “What are doing here?” He looks like he saw
a ghost.
Me: “What are doing here at this time? Aren't
supposed to be in the office?”
This place looks unusual but I don't pay attention to it.
Me: “I'm going to put this to the main bedroom”
Samkelo: “Give me that I will do that for you” he took
my bag
Why he is acting weird? I need to put his washing into
a washing machine first then prepare a lunch
175 | P a g e
for him.
There is a smell of new perfume....
He took long to come back to the kitchen.
Me: “Babe!”
I went to tv room I want to switch on before I.........
What is this?
Woman gold watch. It was under the coffee table. The
coffee table is a glass so I saw it and I looked
at it. New perfume and now a woman gold watch and
he went to put my bag to main bedroom but
he hasn't come back. I went to lock the door and I
putted my keys and his keys to my breast luckily
I'm wearing a skinny jean. Whatever is going on here I
will get to bottom of it. Now!
I went to check the guestroom I checked everything
but nothing.
Me: “Babe!”
Samkelo: “Babe I'm coming!”
What took him so long. The main bedroom door is
locked. The last time he closed the main bedroom
door was the time he was hiding a tattoo.
Why now?
Me: “Please open up” I knocked on the door.
Silence.
Samkelo: “Okay”
He took time but he inside the bedroom why it takes
him so long.
Me: “Samkelo open up before I stab you!”
176 | P a g e
Silence
This silence confirms my suspicions.
Me: “Samkelo! I will kick this door now if you don't
open now!”
This man will make me crazy. I took my gun and corked
it and kicked the door with force. Today I will
shoot or slaughter someone. The is someone standing
behind him....
It’s a girl the weave and hips confirmed it.
Why I'm so calm about what I'm seeing right now? I
know we have 6 months been to get her but I
have a right to react like this.
Me: “Is this the reason you don't answer my calls?” the
gun is still in my hand.
Silence
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry babe”
Me: “Tell that bitch to sit on the bed and face on my
direction now”
Before I said that I looked to the wall. They are
whispering.
Me: “I said now!”
They must not test me.
My phone rings. I look at the screen.
Me: “You got something for me?”
Spiro: “Yeah I planted Neroflaux Gas”
Me: “Everything is in order. I will call you”
Spiro: “Sure” he ended the call.
I must not lose my temper for tonight's sake.
177 | P a g e
Me: “I want to shoot you now”
Samkelo: “Babe pleas....”
I don’t want to hear his voice. I gave him a deadly stare
and he quickly looked down.
Me: “I feel sorry for your parents because you
supposed to be at varsity”
“I'm so sorry....” she says and she is crying.
Me: “If you were at my age I would have killed you now
but I will spare your life because you remind
me of my cousin. If I ever find a missed call messages
WhatsApp emails call back or find you again
here I will cut you take your heart and put it in your
mouth”
Silence.
Me: “Take your things and go now!”
Samkelo is quiet. I went to open the door
“Thank yo....” she walked out the door with her bags.
It looks like she was staying here with him. This man I
don't know what to say to him. I went to the
kitchen and I found him standing.
Him: “Babe I'm...”
Me: “Save it!”
I don't want to talk to him I wish I could strangle him to
death or shoot him or something. I'm so angry.
I wanted to kill that little bitch but she was so young
and I just saw my cousin when I looked at her
and I felt something.
Me: “Do you want something to eat?”
178 | P a g e
He lifts his eyes and he is confused by my question.
Him: “No thanks I'm fine”
He thinks I will poison his food. I'm not hungry either. I
went to main bedroom and I took my bag to
the guestroom and I took long cold shower. I need to
be focused right now.
Me: “I planted Neroflaux Gas cylinders in Luxolo's
house” I went to sit next to him. I leaned back and
looked at the ceiling board.
Him: “I thought you will abort the mission after what
happened”
Me: “I will not abort my mission because of you and
your dick”
Silence.
Him: “Need some help?”
I gave him a stare.
Him: “I will be there. I know you hate me but I will be
there to make sure you are fine”
I don't need his assistance but I know him so well he
will go with me whether I like or not. I went to
take my laptop and I tampered his mother's phone I
will need this if it happens that he is not at home.
He is in Ballito he is renting a house there but I know
him so well he will go with me whether I like or not. I
went to
take my laptop and I tampered his mother's phone I
will need this if it happens that he is not at home.
He is in Ballito he is renting a house there so we must
179 | P a g e
leave early here. The guys are looking at his
moves.
I switched off the laptop and watched the movie. I
woke up at 17:30pm and he put a throw in my
lower body.
Mxm? He must go and find the deepest lake to throw
himself in.
Him: “I cooked something I can dish it up if you want”
Me: “I’ll take a shower first” I looked for my sleepers.
He didn't miss my food or he thinks I might poison his
food. I'm still angry but I must calm down. At
19:00pm we must be in Ballito.
I took a quick shower and I wore a gown. I went to
kitchen I found him talking.........
Him: “I will come this weekend”
Come where. He didn't see me coming.
Him: “Lutho Mntungwa” he is laughing.
I almost interrupted his conversation.
Him: “Send my love to them” he ended the call after
saying goodbye.
Maybe its Kat but I never heard him calling him with
their clan names. When he turned at my direction
he was shocked.
Him: “I didn't see you coming” he said with a smile.
I wish I can wipe that smile with a big harsh slap.
Me: “Mmm”
I don't care about he says I don't trust him. I took my
food to my bedroom I know how he hates it
180 | P a g e
when you take food to bedroom especially full meal he
says "It will leave stains" and cockroaches.
Him: “Babe please don't take...”
I will not pay attention to that bullshit. I walked away
with my plate to the guestroom. I will sleep here
today.
Him: “Babe I know that you're angry but please don't
eat here”
He doesn’t want me to eat. I went to put the plate in
the kitchen he followed me.
Him: “Babe please talk to me or shout or scream”
Me: “I need to get ready now for tonight's mission”
Him: “I will be ready too in 15 minutes”
After 15 minutes I was ready to go so I went to kitchen
to drink orange juice. He came in black clothes
with mustard scarf. He is sexy and smell nice I miss him
but I'm angry at him.
I hate to feel like that.... I really do.
Him: “Bulletsproof vest full loaded pistols bullets your
laptop black gloves...”
Me: “Checked”
He laughs and I smiled.
When we got there our guys and Zee is here so
everything is cool. Luckily he was as home he didn't
go all this afternoon. I jammed the network on their
phones and the guys inside his house will jam the
doors too. Almost everything in that house is a remote
controlled.
181 | P a g e
The gas will make them to sleep. After 15 minutes we
will go inside using the back door with our musks
on and they will undress Luxolo and dress him in new
clothes in case he has a tracker on the boot or
to whatever he is wearing.
The time was going slow.
At last....
My phone rings...
Avela: “We about to drive out to the warehouse now”
Me: “Take him to the car”
He is the master of breaking in others houses so he
oversaw that. We came in and found the 5 of them
on the floor and Luxolo is one of them. The quickly
undressed him and dress him in new clothes.
Me: “Take him to the car”
I dumped his clothes on the bin on my way out. We
went to the warehouse and he was still asleep
when we got there.
Me: “Chain him and undress him leave his underwear”
Samkelo: “Are you serious now?”
Can he please shut up? I gave him a deadly stare. He
kept quiet. He was chained in both hands and
feet.
Me: “Let the game begin!”
Silence.
Me: “Wakey wakey” I slapped him lightly to wake him
up.
He didn't wake up. I took the bucket of cold water....
182 | P a g e
He woke up. He was shocked where he was. He
laughed when he saw me standing in front of him.
Luxolo: “You bitch!”
I slapped him.
He continued....
Another slap
He was quiet after the second one. The crew just
laughed at him. I was training by the best Ta SK.
Me: “You will listen to me now” I was looking at his
face.
He spit on my face. I wiped my face and I went for his
balls and squeezed it. He was groaning in
seconds.
Me: “Do you remember the promise I said to you?” I
squeezed him more.
Luxolo: “Whatever you bitch!”
Me: “Give me gloves scissors and sharp blade” Avela
gave me gloves
Silence.
He gave me what I wanted and stood next to me. They
laughed.
Me: “I'm a doctor for today!” I pulled out a straight
face.
I cut his underwear where is balls are. He started to
shake
Me: “Voetsek!” I slapped him.
He started crying and shaking.
Me: “Hold him tight! I need my first operation to be a
183 | P a g e
success” the two held him tight.
Me: “I will take your scrotums out with force and feed
it to you you piece of shit!”
He started to plead.
Luxolo: “Ndiyakucela...” his voice was trembling.
We all laughed.
Me: “Oh ndiyakucela [I mimicked his voice]”
I squeezed his balls and I started to cut them slowly
with a sharp blade....
He was crying. I pressed the blade and the blood oozed
out. I took his scrotum with force he was crying
loud now
Me: “Open your mouth!”
He cried louder.
Me: “Voetsek open your mouth!”
Avela opened his mouth with force I putted his
scrotum to HIS mouth
Me: “Chew! Don't choke! You choke you die”
I pointed his throat with my gun
He swallowed
Me: “Another one”
They opened his mouth again. I put another one in his
mouth.
Me: “One last time”
The closed his mouth and made him to swallow. I took
my two full loaded pistols. I told the guys to
move I shot him repeatedly and at last I was crying. I'm
feeling lighter now. The guys we left them at
184 | P a g e
the warehouse was going to burn his body and clean
the warehouse.
-------------
I was disturbed by my phone.
Me: "Hello” I yawned
Andile: “Please come to Netcare hospital now” he hung
up.
At 01:00am
Wait Thabi!
I changed my pyjamas to Nike tracksuits and sneakers.
I called Samkelo to tell him that we must go to
hospital. I'm using the guestroom after what happened
in Durban.
Samkelo: “Do we really have to go?”
I turned to look at him
Really dude?
I went to stand on the door. He took his car keys and
phone and we went. When we got there we
called Andile he came to us and took us to labour ward
corridors he was pacing up and down.
Samkelo: “You need to sit down bra”
Andile: “She is in labour. Her contractions have
worsened now and she is in real pain dude”
I never saw him like that. He's so worried.
Me: “She will be fine”
We've been here for 2 hours now but she hasn't
delivery yet. Kat is here with “our friends” Thabi
knows that. It’s better for her to know that. She went
185 | P a g e
to theatre for C-section. Her man here went
crazy he wanted to go in but Kat took him outside for
few minutes. At 03:03 am the doctor came to
tell us that the mother and the baby are fine. We went
to see them
Andile: “Babe” he took Thabi's hand to his hands.
She looks tired. He was kissing her hand and her
forehead now and again.
Samkelo: “It’s enough now”
She laughed faintly. Andile was focusing on Thabi he
didn't heard Samkelo's comment.
Me: “Can we see the baby?”
She looks at Thabi.
She nodded.
Andile was still caressing Thabi. Minutes later the
Nurse came in pushing baby incubator. The nurse
gave the baby to Thabi. She took him.
Andile looked at Thabi then the baby... Thabi then the
baby. We saw his tears dripping down in His
cheeks.
Silence.
We didn't know what to do. And I must say it the first
time I’m seeing him crying since I met him.
Andile: “He's so cute” he was holding a little pale
finger.
I can't describe the atmosphere here but...
Andile: “He looks exactly like my late little sister” he
tried to smile with tears.
186 | P a g e
Thabi is quite and she is looking at the baby.
Andile: “Lwaluhle”
We looked at him.
Andile: “His name is Lwaluhle”
I thought he would be Andile Junior Dlamini. His late
little sister was Okuhle so I understand why he
cried and named him Lwaluhle. He took the baby trying
to hush him but he wasn't crying. It’s the first
think that came to his mind.
I got a chance to hold him. He is pale like a coloured
with baby hair in his forehead to the sides. He is
rubbing his tiny fingers to his little forehead.
Soon the 1st of November cute Lwaluhle was born.......
In the middle of the night I was woken sound of
someone who was singing
Samkelo: “Babe!”
Wtf?
Samkelo: “Babe!”
I kept quiet. He sounds like he is drunk. He must not
test me on the mild of the night.
Samkelo: “Ndibethwa luvalo xa Ngibona andisakwazi
nokuzibamba ndincuma....” he sings.
I love the song Nomkitha by Musa but not in the
middle of the night to be disturbed.
Samkelo: “Sthandwa sami!”
I kept quite again. He has bottle of Bernini on his hand I
can't believe him right now and I will not
entertain him at 02:20am.
187 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I love…. you!”
I woke up and remain sited on the bed looking at him.
Me: “I need to sleep”
I'm so annoyed.
Samkelo: “Sthandwa…. sami… I'm so...stressed” he sat
on the bed.
He kept blubbering with somethings I can't hear them.
It’s the first time he ever drunk like this since I met
him. Why he can't just sleep and stop this nonsense.
He is still blubbering in his drunk annoying tone. After
some time the voice was lowered but he is
speaking in riddles.
Samkelo: “I can't… believe she… she aborted my
…child” he burped.
Wait. What?
I just gave him a stare. Who aborted his child? I can't
even wake him up to ask... I can't believe it !He
is snoring.
Father God!
In the morning I woke up and I went to take shower. I
can take long time in the shower. It’s Sunday so
I will try to relax....
I want to ask him when he wakes up what if he denies
it. I can't believe what I heard all along in his
trips to Durban he was cheating on me. I don't care
how long we've been together but he must learn
to keep his dick inside his pants. I love him but I didn't
sign up for this nonsense and I won't tolerate
188 | P a g e
it.
When I was done I wore a black legging with powder
blue vest with sleepers. I need to see Lwaluhle's
mother.
Samkelo: “Morning love” he came in the kitchen. Level
of anger is rising second by second.
Me: “Morning” In a low tone.
I'm busy making breakfast.
Me: “Breakfast will be ready in few minutes” I faked a
smile.
I can't real express my feelings even when I was
growing up. I bottle things up. I don't really see a point
of talking about things that hurts me or broke my heart
to the person who made me angry. I'm open
to my two best friends.
Samkelo: “I'll be back I need to charge my phone”
I can't believe what he said last night and he remember
what he said last night.
Samkelo: “Thanks babe for breakfast”
I faked a smile.
Samkelo: “What are your plans today?”
I wish he can shut up!
Me: “I will visit Thabi”
Samkelo: “Big Four is coming today we'll be
accommodating them here because Thabi can't deal
with
them”
I wish I can slap him. Those brats are also annoying but
189 | P a g e
I think I can use with their company these
days.
Me: “Okay I'll prepare their rooms” I drank my juice.
Samkelo: “I need to go somewhere babe” he drank His
juice.
To be with that bitch of his of course.
Me: “Okay” I didn’t pay attention.
Samkelo: “I will meet you at Andile's house” he kissed
my cheek.
Whatever.
I need to pretend as if everything is okay. After
breakfast I went to Thabi's. When I got there the big
four was there already.
Lwaluhle is three weeks old now. I wonder why they
didn't come after he was born.
Me: “Ei give him to me” I said to Mbuso as I sat down.
He is an uncle now.
Mbuso: “Haah Sis’Nompe I'm still bonding with him” he
looked at him. He loves him you can see it in
his eyes.
Lwaluhle's father is so obsessed with him that what
happens when you have you first child on the mid
30's.
Mbuso: “Gwajo is cute like his uncle”
This baby will be spoilt in every way.
Mbuso: “I bought him grey Jordan tracksuits”
I wonder which gift he will get from Samkelo.
Samkelo fears infants he didn't hold him at the hospital
190 | P a g e
and he said he will hold him after 3 months.
Strict traditionalist Khumalo. I will not get a chance to
speak to Thabi because they're here.
Chapter 15

There are voices coming from the main door.

Kat Andile and Samkelo.
The two are laughing so hard but the other one is not
laughing.
Samkelo is carrying a black Jeep car for toddlers....
Silence.
Andile: “Lwaluhle Uncle Samkelo bought Jeep car for
you my boy” he tried to hold a laugh.
Silence.
We all busted out laughing.
Thabi: “Ncooah Ngiyabonga Samkelo kakhulu” she got
up from the couch and went to him. She hugged
him.
Mbuso took Luhle's car and Lwandile hold him next to
it and Zamo took pictures with his phone.
Lwandile: “Too much drama bra” he said to Samkelo.
They are still laughing.
Samkelo: “Voetsek wena that car is expensive”
I left early there just to prepare supper for those brats.
I came with Lwandile and Sphe so Mbuso and
Zamo will come with Samkelo. They don't know that
their brothers are Gangsters but I don't blame
them they're busy spending money.
191 | P a g e
I've prepared the supper and big four and Samkelo are
here. I took a shower after I was done. I wore
a black pencil dress it goes under the knees so and grey
sleepers. When I walk my knees touchs that
is known as kiss madolo or upete but I love myself the
way I am.
Mbuso: “We've set the table”
I need to know them better.
Me: “Thank you” I went back to the kitchen.
Samkelo: “I miss you” he wraps his hands around my
waist.
I need to keep my cool.
Me: “I'm busy…” I continued with what I was doing.
Samkelo: “I can't wait to touch your skin” he kissed my
cheek.
He won't get anything. I chose the buffet style today on
the table because this kids here can eat.
When we all sat down the doorbell rang.
Zamo: “I’ll get it”
He went to the main door...
Zamo: “Haa bra what are you doing here?”
I must add one plate here...
Zamo: “Aunty!”
What?
Samkelo went to check...
Samkelo: “Mama!”
What? He has a mother.
Samkelo: “Mntungwa”
192 | P a g e
I was left alone on the table. I don't know what to do
next after some minutes they came in the dining
room where I was.
Samkelo was looking at me.
Samkelo: “Mama and Baba this is Nompendulo my
girlfriend” he looked at his fingers.
He is acting like a teenager now.
Silence.
His mom: “It’s nice to see you” she said sarcastically.
He was quiet. I went to the kitchen to get three more
plates. Samkelo came in with the guy I don't
know.
Samkelo: “Babe this is Sakhi Sakhi this is Nompe”
He hugged me so this is the hug type.
Sakhi: “It’s nice to meet you”
Me: “Nice to meet you too”
I went to the dining room and I left the plates on the
table and I left. I went to make a sandwich on
the kitchen. I ate it in the kitchen and went to the
study. I heard laughter coming from the dining
room. I need to talk to Thabi.
I sat on his chair looking in the wall opposite direction
with door.
Me: “Mngani I hope I'm disturbing”
Thabi: “No you're not”
Me: “His parents are here they arrived just now so I
need a place to crash in for few days”
Thabi: “You're always welcome here” Silence.
193 | P a g e
Thabi: “Are you okay friend?”
Me: “Yeah I'm okay”
Thabi: “Try again”
Me: “He was drunk last night and he said I can't believe
that she aborted his child”
Thabi: “Eish have you confronted him?”
Me: “I haven't but I think to do that”
Samkelo: “Babe” he says softly.
I turned the chair to face in his direction.
Me: “I have to go friend. I'll call you tomorrow” I ended
the call.
How long he has been standing here?
Samkelo: “Ubaba uyakubiza”
I can't describe his facial expression right now. Was he
eavesdropping? I went towards him and he
closed the door. We both went to tv room because
they were done eating.
His father: “Siyabonga ngane yami ngokudla
okumnandi”
Me: “Kubonga mina baba”
His mother MaNdlovu didn't say anything. I went to
the kitchen and I loaded the dishes in dishwasher
luckily the big four cleaned in the dining room. I went
to put a clean linen on their designated room
and went straight to main bedroom I then changed to
my dusty pink with black lace silk short pyjamas.
I don't fall asleep when I'm this angry. When I'm angry
or stressed I don't fall asleep on top of that I'm
194 | P a g e
a light sleeper.
He came in bed on 23:20pm I don't even miss him.
Okay I'm fooling myself here. I miss him so much
but I won't entertain him after what he said yesterday.
Samkelo: “Are you okay?”
He is breathing on my right ear. He turns me on when
he does that and he knows that.
Samkelo: “I miss you” he is kissing my neck and his
hand is squeezing my bum.
He didn't hear that conversation.
Me: “Ngicela ukulala”
Samkelo: “What is going on kanti Nompe?”
He can forget about it.
Me: “Nothing”
I have turned to see him.
Samkelo: “I don't know what your problem is but it’s so
annoying” he is angry.
Silence.
Samkelo: “I'm talking to you” his voice is deeper.
Me: “Ngicela ukulala”
Samkelo: “I'm talking to you and what you want is to
sleep? Really?”
I hate to argue with him but now I'm forced to. He
turned me to look at him with force...
Me: “You're hurting me”
I got up from bed and went to bathroom to pee. When
I got out he was standing in front of me. I just
looked at him.
195 | P a g e
Samkelo: “What is going on with you?”
Me: “I said Nothing!”
He slapped me in a minute I was in the floor. I won't
cry not today
When I woke up from the floor...
Another slap.
I need to control my temper or else it will be a war
zone. I got up and sat on bed.
Me: “Taking your frustrations on me won't help you
with anything”
Samkelo: “What did you say?” he came towards me.
Me: “Your bitch aborted your child and now you think I
will be your punching bag? Think again”
He was shocked.
Samkelo: “Where did you get that?”
Me: “You came in drunk here yesterday you said it
yourself”
Silence.
Me: “Don't you ever lay your fucken hands on me!”
When did I became so brave?
Samkelo: “What will happen?”
Me: “World war III will take place here” I laid my head
in the pillow.
Silence.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm s....” he didn't finish his sentence.
Me: “Voetsek!”
Silence.
Me: “Take all your guns and kill me now”
196 | P a g e
I must have slept after that. When I woke up he was
sitting on the bed looking at me.
Samkelo: “Morning babe”
I kept quiet. I went to take a cold shower I know it will
calm me down. When I got out he made a bed
and place that tray with breakfast he made.
I’m wearing yellow floral long dress with long sleeves
but it shows my skin on the arms and a black
figure belt with black red-bottom high heel. Tied a
bun.
Yes with my kiss madolo!
Luckily I'm the first to be in kitchen I took my apron
and I prepared breakfast. I don't know where he
is and I don't care. I made full English breakfast with
toast or crossaints and orange juice or coffee. I
have coffee only here so after work I must go and buy
grocery.
Lwandile: “You're beautiful but where are going in the
morning?”
Some of us are working. Duh!
Me: “To work”
Lwandile: “SK will not allow you to walk out that door
looking this beautiful”
Its early in the morning and he is blubbering. I don't
want to hear his name. Sphe Mbuso and Zamo
came in the kitchen.
Me: “Please me to take this to the dining room”
They helped me to do that.
197 | P a g e
Mntungwa: “Morning kids”
Mntungwa is Samkelo's father they call him with his
clan name.
Us: “Morning”
I must behave well in front of his parents. MaNdlovu
came in and she greeted.
MaNdlovu: “Do you have cuppacino here?”
That what happens when you come uninvited.
Me: “We have coffee and tea but I'll call Samkelo to
buy it because he went out” I don't even know
where he is.
I went to the kitchen to call him
Me: “Please buy cappuccino on your way back” I hung
up first before he even answer.
He calls immediately.
Samkelo: “Good morning”
He is driving I can hear it. I hung up.He has a nerve.
car pulled outside.
Samkelo & Sakhi: “Morning everyone”
Me: “Morning” they came in the kitchen.
I'm not eating I don't have appetite.
Me: “Have a wonderful day”
Them: “To you too”
They will have quality time together. I went to work
I'm not looking forward to End of the year staff party at
work but I must attend it anyway.
Big Four is still here and they help here and there but
the parents were here for one week after that
198 | P a g e
they went back to Weenen (Escourt).
Mntungwa is from Wineen they have a house there
and They have another one in Athlone Park
Amanzimtoti where Samkelo and his siblings grew up
but they have another house in eMhlanga.
Mntungwa is a qualified Civil Engineer and MaNdlovu is
a qualified nurse and she is a matron but they
both retired so they have everything they need and on
top of that their kids are independent except
the last born who is a brat.
Samkelo: “Babe we have mission in two days’ time”
I forgave him on that saga. I can't stay angry at him for
a long time.
Samkelo: “We must handle shipment”
Ok its drugs. His parents and the Big Four don't know
about the Gang.
Samkelo: “Sakhi will come tomorrow”
Sakhi is Nokwe's boyfriend I learned that when she was
skyping me and she introduced him. She didn't
know that I know him but he told her that he is
Samkelo's cousin.
He is a pilot and the member of THE EAGLES.
Now I must hide this Gangsterism thing from my family
Thabi and Nokwe. What I hate the most is I
must hide that Andile and Sakhi are gangsters from
their partners who happens to be my best friends.
On the 16th of December the is another traditional
ceremony on my mother's side so I must go home
199 | P a g e
next week Thursday.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry about what happened last
few weeks” he brushed his head.
Me: “I don't want to be your punching bag”
Samkelo: “I'm sorry babe it won't happen again”
He is or else. He was trying hard to apologise with gifts
he bought perfume watch flowers trying to
cook for me until he apologizes properly. He gave me a
good sex after he apologized so I accepted his
gifts.
Samkelo: “I want us to spend festive this in Durban”
Me: “We will babe”
The weekend is in Saturday so my dress is ready. It a
blue pencil dress below my knees it is a V shape
in front but it covers my back and its reveals cleavage it
will go well with cream high heel with cream
clutch bag.
----------
Today I'm driving myself to work Samkelo is going to
Durban there is a case he is working on. Its
Wednesday so I can be smart casual today so I'm
wearing a navy skinny jean with white vest a blue
coat and Burberry wedge pumps. I'm using BMW it his
car of course I will buy mine this month.
I called my mom and she is at Mtunzini because she is
on a leave and I also spoke to grandma she was
asking me when I'm coming home I told them that I'll
on the 15th this month.
200 | P a g e
Me: “Babe I'm going now!”
I must start at filling station then work.
He came and we kissed and he was ready to go but I
left him behind. When I drove off from the main
gate there was a cleaning company car. What catch my
eyes in it was the picture logo if I can say that
it was a duck wearing overall holding a bucket and
mop.
I still love cartoons at this age and if I have time and he
was ready to go but I left him behind. When I drove off
from the main
gate there was a cleaning company car. What catch my
eyes in it was the picture logo if I can say that
it was a duck wearing overall holding a bucket and
mop.
I still love cartoons at this age and if I have time I just
love them. I connected my phone and I played
our favourite song Adorn by Miguel.
I was singing it but not so loudly.
My phone rang....
Nontu: “Are you okay”
Me: “I'm okay and you?”
Nontu: “I had a strange dream and it was about you”
Me: “I'm fine sweetheart. I'm driving mtase I'll call you
when I get to work”
Her dreams always mean something. She was on
morning shift so I'll call her on lunch time. I went to
filling station and went to the shop to get some sweets.
201 | P a g e
When I was inside the shop the was a guy
looking at him under his cap.
Why he is looking at me? When I got out the shop the
same cleaning company car will was in the filling
station.
I got to my car hoop in. I took my gun out just to be
safe. Now I will watch my back but I'm suspicions
maybe it’s a coincide. I took left and the same car it is
following me.
I tried to call my man but he didn't pick up.
Okay.
I must calm down maybe it’s nothing after the robot
there was a black Land Rover in front of me and
it has a black Windows. The robot was red so I must
wait.
My phone rings...
Samkelo: “Why did you take BMW? That BMW has no
tinted window...”
What?? That can't be happening when I think I'm being
followed.
This robot took long to open.
Me: “I think there is some....”
I heard gunshots...
The window on driver's sit was crashed in a second I
laid down across the and I stopped the car.
I heard gunshots and I think the is cash heist or
something?
Gunshot were banging so close and I think I'm being
202 | P a g e
hijacked........
I'm in a deep sleep but I can hear sounds like there a
people talking but they're too far from me. I'm
in a dark place I can't breathe.
Am I kidnapped or what?
I can't move I can't do anything with my body. I'm
kidnapped and they drugged me. They are people
coming in I can hear that but it’s so far. It’s been days
being here but who kidnapped I can't even speak
or utter a word.
At least my mind is working maybe I can figure
something out. My family don't know where I am I'm
sure they are worried
What happened?
I was in a car...
I saw a little light my eyes looked on the light.
Someone is shouting here and I can hear clearly now.
Why there are many people here?
I hear gunshots...
I freaked out!
“Nurse! Nurse!” someone shouts.
“Nompendulo!” I opened my eyes slowly.
Samkelo: “Are you okay”
Me: “I’m… Okay…” I tried to move but my body is stiff.
Nurse came in and took some musk from my face.
Me: “Where… am… I?”
Nurse: “Don't worry you're safe now”
Me: “Mom...”
203 | P a g e
I scanned the room I'm at hospital and my family is
here and my man.
Me: “Water…”
He was holding a glass of water and straw for me. I
can't move anything from my body.
Me: “What hap...pened?”
Grandma: “Don't worry my child you're okay”
Me: “Gogo...”
Her eyes are full of tears. They all look like that.
Me: “Was I shot?”
Silence.
Me: “The gunshots....Crashing window”
I remember but not clearly.
Samkelo: “Your safe babe” he kissed my forehead.
Me: “My...Parents” They laughed.
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry it’s just I'm excited that she is
fine”
The doctor came in.
Doc: “It’s good to see you awake”
I tried to smile.
Doc: “I will keep you here until I'm sure that you are
okay”
I hate hospitals but I'm forced to be here I spent the
whole two weeks in the hospital. I will not spend
another week here I'm tired of that snobbish doctor.
He discharged me on Tuesday but I couldn’t walk
properly because I was shot in right side of my ribs
and four bullets in the right thigh.
204 | P a g e
Me: “Do you know who shot me?
I will use crashes to walk but now I'm using wheelchair
to go to the car.
Samkelo: “Babe I need you to heal first then we’ll talk
about that”
I would like to do that.
Samkelo: “Your parents are at my house but I will be
staying at Kat's house”
We drove off from the hospital to his house. I'm in
pains how I wish it was me and my man alone here.
Poor soul must leave his house in account of my
parents.
They shouted at me for living with him but I
understand.
-----------
I need to go to beach. Durban is a warmest place to be
so in summer you just need Seabreeze
Me: “I need to go to the beach”
Silence.
Last year's festive season was dull because I was shot
in 09th of December and I didn't enjoy my
birthday on the 12th.
Samkelo: “No babe you might hurt yourself”
I'm laying my head his chest we're in the couch.
Me: “I won't hurt myself babe”
Silence.
I'm able to do things on my own now and I'm walking
without crashes so I'm okay.
205 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Babe do you need something to eat?”
Me: “Please babe”
He went to the kitchen to make us something to eat.
Me: “The parents said I must get a flat”
He laughs.
Samkelo: “I understand their frustrations babe”
I need to get one in case they come to visit me. Zimbali
is a beautiful place so is thus gigantic house.
Me: “Gwajo and his parents are coming for lunch”
I won't be able to cook lunch today so I'll order in
everything. He came with sandwiches and juice he
sat down and we ate after that he took dishes to the
kitchen after a while he was back. I was in
between his legs and I laid my head on his chest and he
held my hands.
Samkelo: “I'm glad that you're okay” he kissed the top
of my head.
Huh?
Me: “I'm okay”
Silence.
Samkelo: “I thought I lost you when I found you laying
in that BMW. I was scared when I saw the blood
in driver's seat and passenger seat....”
I don't like to talk about it but I must at some stage.
Me: “What happened exactly?”
He tightens my hand.
Samkelo: “I saw your missed call and I was still in the
house looking for BMW M5 keys when I couldn't
206 | P a g e
find them I took the Jaguar XF keys when I didn't saw
the BMW I knew you that you were driving it.
I returned your call and I told you that car's windows
are not tinted and you said something and you
didn't finish that sentence...”
That rings a bell.
Me: “Someone was following me that day but....”
I'm trying to remember what happened exactly
because my family didn't tell me the whole story. I
think I will suffer from amnesia in future because I
can't really remember it.
Whoooa...
Me: “On that day I went to Engen Sawmill filling station
after the attendant was done I went to the
park the car in front of the shop. I went to take
Maynard's and chips... I saw some guys looking at me
under the cap he was wearing. But Uhm...”
Samkelo: “Can you see him?”
Under his cap really dude?
Me: “He was wearing a cap and overall l with a duck
holding a mop...”
I got off from his chest and sat straight.
Me: “A duck holding a mop and broom wearing an
overall....”
What? How did that happened without me seeing it
coming?
Me: “When I drove off from the main gate to join the
main road I saw a cleaning company bakkie with
207 | P a g e
that duck I saw in that guy's overall in the shop at the
filling station”
I remember the time when Nontu called and told me
about that strange dream she had about me. I
was focusing because I was driving and speaking to
her.
Me: “There's someone out there who wants me dead”
It’s all come together now and I connected the pieces
in this puzzle.
Samkelo: “I think so too babe because that wasn't
hijacking its was on purpose and they knew the
route you're using from our house to work”
I smell a rat here.
Me: “There's a rat in our camp”
We both let out a sigh.
Us: “We have to find it”
He orders meal for lunch.
Thabi Andile Mbuso and Gwajo will be here. They went
to see Andile's parents in Umhlanga. Andile's
father is from eNdwedwe but they live in Umhlanga.
Nontu is at home but she is going back to Joburg next
week. We had a wonderful day with our friends
and the big four and Gwajo. He is growing and he is
cute.
On the second week we went back to Cape.
I heard that Commissioner's son is in hospital so it was
planned by us. We have to make sure that we
are careful.
208 | P a g e
That's a relief.
There's a big cash heist coming up this upcoming Friday
but I'm excluded. I hate being excluded but I
must back off until I'm good again. He told me that his
sister is coming this week.
Okay...
He is the second child out of five children from his
parents. Khethokuhle Samkelo Mthokozisi
Thandolwamantungwa Lwandile. I heard that
Mthokozisi and Thando are overseas they're living
there. Mthoko went there just to save himself from
joining the gang.
Samkelo: “Yeah yeah I'll go bankruptcy but I can't wait
to see you” he came into main bedroom he
was on the phone. He said goodbye to whoever he was
speaking too.
Samkelo: “That's my sister” he smiled and shook his
head.
I hope she will be nice than MaNdlovu who is their
mother wanted cappuccino with an attitude as if I
knew that she likes it.
Me: “She will be staying here?”
I hope she can go to Kat's house.
Samkelo: “She will be staying over here. Kat don’t have
time and he is going to Joburg”.
Mxm.
Me: “Okay” I was making the bed. This bedroom is our
cave. The good times and the bad times
209 | P a g e
happened here.
I won't forget those slaps.
NEVER!!
We take shower together most of the time. I'm not in
the mood today but I must take shower with
him. His skin is always warm but warmer when I'm
angry.
Sometimes it’s like he lives just to annoy me.
Samkelo: “Your skin is so...” he is behind me.
His hands are around my body.
Samkelo: “Babe...” he is kissing my neck.
Why he is always horny? Luckily I'm on a pill but he
doesn’t know that.
I can't not now.
Me: “I'm sorry babe I can't help you

Chapter 16

A big sigh came out after that. After the shooting we

haven't been intimate but he needs to
understand. I need my wounds to heal first. Two
bullets were stuck in my rib cage and three bullets
on my left thigh but doctors managed to take them out
so I need doctor to confirm that my wounds
are healed so I can pleasure with him.
He was quite throughout and he left me in the shower I
understand his frustrations no man should
suffer like that I found him dressed in our bedroom.
210 | P a g e
Me: “Babe I understand your frustrations but I need
my wounds to heal first”
I feel sorry for him.
Samkelo: “It’s okay I understand”
I know he's not okay but he pretends to be okay. I went
to kitchen to make him a breakfast he can't
be starving in all forms. If you know what I mean.
It’s a beautiful Thursday morning so I have an
appointment with the Doctor Zikhali after that I must
do lunch with Thabi just to catch up. I have a
bodyguard now can't even drive myself. Thanks to
Samkelo.
I hate pills and injections smell in surgery. I sat down in
the chair after some while a doctor came to
me.
Doc: “Please follow me”
I followed him. He examined me.
Doc: “Your wounds are healed now the medication
worked”
Really?
Me: “Are you sure doc?”
Doc: “Yeah I'm sure Ms Mazibuko your wounds are
healed”
Me: “It means I can drink anything now?”
Doc: “Yes you can so this was the last appointment we
had”
So I can give my man what's due to him.
When on my way to the mall I received a call from
211 | P a g e
unknown number....
Voice: “Unjani?”
Me: “I'm good” with attitude.
Voice: “I just wanted to check up on you” Why this
voice sounds familiar......
Me: “What do you want from me wena njandini?” its
Lulonke.
Lulonke: “I still love you Nompe”
Me: “Listen here Lulonke I don't want to talk you not
now ever and don't you ever call this number”
I hung up immediately. Why now?
When we got to the mall I was so angry. I went to our
favourite restaurant to meet Thabi.
Me: “I need something strong” I pulled a chair and sat
down.
She is alone Gwajo is at home with his nanny.
Thabi: “Why are you so worked up”
Me: “I got a call from Lulonke”
I'm shaking now out of anger.
Thabi: “Mngani calm down drink this water” she gave
me a bottle of a still water.
I don't have appetite now thanks to that moron. After a
while I was calm and I ordered a salad with
wine but I'm not interested in salad I just need wine.
After lunch we went to few stores.
Me: “Let's go to Temptations”
She laughs out loud.
Me: “The doctor said my wounds are healed” we
212 | P a g e
entered at Temptations.
Thabi: “That's great friend” she rubbed my arm.
Me: “I need a lingerie just to charm my grumpy man
Friday night”
Thabi: “Why he is grumpy?”
Me: “After the I was shot; we haven't been intimate”
Thabi: “No wonder he's grumpy”
We laughed out loud.
Thabi: “I hate to deal with a grumpy man”
Me: “Is he grumpy too?”
Our conversations are always silly or naughty or crazy.
Thabi: “He's not but he was after I gave birth to Luhle
(Lwaluhle)”
He was crazy.
Me: “These men can be loving and caring but crazy and
controlling”
I hate to keep her in the dark about our shady dealings
but I must.
Thabi: “I will surprise him tonight”
Me: “I'll surprise him tomorrow night”
I love to have sex with him when we were in a mission
for him to relax. We work hard before mission
and its stressful. When we were done we went to our
separate cars shared a hug and we drove off.
When I got home I went to guestroom and I locked the
door.
I checked my new lingerie. It’s a black thin lacy lingerie
like a bodysuit but it’s a lingerie. He can see
213 | P a g e
everything through it and I know it will take out the
beast in him I have to hide it because it’s part of
tomorrow's surprise.
I must make supper.
I cook every day because he loves his food and I won't
like it when he goes to bed with an empty
stomach.
I hid it to the guestroom I went to the kitchen after
that. Today I'm making Creamy Garlic Parmesan
Mushroom Chicken I hope he will like it because I like
to make different dishes for him. You must try
something new for you man especially when it comes
to food and sex. Food sex and respect must
come first then everything can follow.
I miss him last I saw him it was before I went to the
doctor.
Samkelo: “Babe!” Speak of the devil or think of the
devil.
Lol.
Me: “I'm in the kitchen my love!”
He didn't invite anyone.
Samkelo: “Mhm what are you cooking here babe?” he
kissed my cheek.
His mood has changed.
Me: “I'm cooking a monkey” I tried to hold a laugh.
I hope he's not coming from his other girlfriends. I'll
strangle him next time.
Samkelo: “Haah babe monkey won't smell this good”
214 | P a g e
he laughed.
Me: “I will be done in 10 minutes babe”
We have ups and downs but I won't hold grudges he
makes me happy. He went to our bedroom I
think he went to take a shower. After 20 minutes he
was here smelling fresh and clean.
Samkelo: “How was your appointment with your
doctor?”
He was leaning on the fridge door looking at me busy
taking casserole to dining room.
Me: “It went well babe I will go see him next week”
I'm lying I want to surprise him tomorrow. I dished up
for him and we are drinking juice.
Samkelo: “Mhm babe it’s so delicious” he said in
between his chew. He likes it I can see it in his face.
He's so simple I just read his facial expressions that's it.
Me: “I'm glad you're enjoying it”
Samkelo: “I do babe”
He's focusing on his plate he appreciates that's what I
love about him. Us women we’re simple just
love take care compliment and appreciate us in
everything we do.
Samkelo: “Thanks babe for the food I love it” he said
when he's done eating.
Me: “I'm just glad you're enjoyed the food”
My work here is done. I put the dishes in dishwasher.
We have some who helps us to with laundry
ironing cleaning but I wash our underwear. Sometimes
215 | P a g e
I like to do things myself just to make sure
everything is perfect.
We went to our bedroom.
Samkelo: “Do you know that I love you?”
I'm laying my head on his chest.
Me: “Yeah babe I know”
Where is this conversation going to?
Samkelo: “I don't deserve you babe sometimes I
behaviour so childish but in despite of everything I
love you”
Me: “O...kay”
Of course you don't! Its only him in my life.
Me: “I hope it won't happen again”
He's tense I don't know why. Is it his sister? Or there's
more I don't know about him he brushes my
back he knows that makes me sleep.
Samkelo: “Sleep my love” he kissed my forehead
-------------
Gwajo is his father's clone but when I saw the picture
of his late aunt he's just like her. How does that
happen? He is so cute little boy I just like him. His
mother is like a sister to him.
Me: “How was your night yesterday friend?”
Thabi: “It was great mngani” there's something to her
mind.
I went to kitchen and I came with two glasses of juices.
Me: “What's eating you?”
Thabi: “I think he is cheating”
216 | P a g e
We're alone here. Guys have a meeting just to finalise
everything for today's mission.
Me: “What?”
Thabi: “Yeah mngani sometimes he come late at night
or he's going out for boy's night out and come
back in the ewe hours”
Fuck!
Me: “Ahh Samkelo does that too but I won't think that
he's cheating”
I won't let her think or try to find things out.
Me: “He always comes back to you right?”
Thabi: “Yes he comes back”
Me: “They work so hard to make us happy and make
sure we have everything we need beautiful
houses cars and make sure that we are protected 24/7
so sometimes they need time out just to relax”
Silence.
Thabi: “That's true friend” she nodded
I'll always have to hide things from them.
I hate it.
I left early to prepare and make sure he's read I know
he can take care of himself but I just need to
see that he's okay. When we on the mission together
we don't behave like couple we behave
gangstitional around each other. He'll live at 20:00 I
don't know what time he'll come back but I'll
organise little romantic night or midnight if I can say.
I bought rose petals so I'll make a big love on our
217 | P a g e
bedroom floor but on a fluffy blue and grey mat. I'll
put strawberry cream and champagne just to celebrate
that my wounds healed.
I'll wear my new lingerie with a silk robe so he won't
suspect anything.
After he left I went to study and to check my emails it
was work-related after replying to them I went
to watch tv. I must watch Tom & Jerry those cartoons I
can watch them throughout the weekend.
I can't believe that I was nyctophobic but Samkelo once
locked me to a dark place for a I won't forget
that day I woke up to a dark place and I cried almost 2
and half hours but I realized later that there is
no need to cry and I stopped that day to be the
darkness.
After 00:00am I went to put everything in order but he
won't come now they will wait for a G4S car
in R102 near Blue Downs it’s out of town but I'll wait
for him. He knows that I won't sleep until he
comes in.
At 01:20 I was still watching tv but I have two loaded
guns here with me just in case “that something”
happens here as I'm alone in this gigantic house.
We have a high-tech storage in the basement its only
him and I who know that. I went to take ice
cream tub my favourite is blueberry cheesecake ice
cream he doesn’t like ice cream. I remembered
that I must do grocery because the visitors are coming
218 | P a g e
tomorrow so I'll have to load that fridge and to
prepare a room for her.
Its 02:40 I heard a motorbike pulling outside.
I quickly corked my guns and went to stand behind the
door. I crawled and I stood behind the door.
Its dark here I switched the light off before I watch tv.
The door was locked and it took time to open...
Me: “Stand right there or else I paint this wall with
your little brain” I pointed on his head.
Silence.
He stood there
“Why are you pointing a gun on me?”
Me: “Shut up!” One gun is on his head and another is
on his spine. He came to finish me off. I'll deal
with tonight.
He moves.
Me: “I said don't move or you want to fight with me?”
He went to switch on the light.
He must not test me...
Me: “Babe!”
I almost shot him.
Samkelo: “Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?” I'm
shaking the motorbike made me suspicious after
what he told me that night.
Me: “I was waiting for you”
I went to kitchen to drink water and I calmed down.
Silence.
Me: “Everything went well. Why are using motorbike?”
219 | P a g e
I never saw him riding a motorbike and I don't
think he owns one.
Samkelo: “I left my car at Kat’s I took my motorbike.
Why are you up at this time?”
Waiting for him is a crime now?
Me: “I couldn't sleep”
Silence.
Samkelo: “I'm going to take shower”
I know that.
Me: “Okay”
He went to take a shower. I went to throw an empty
ice cream tub to a dust bin in the kitchen. I went
back to lounge thinking of what happened while ago
can't believe I almost shot him but I thought it
an enemy or some thug who was taking chances.
I sat on a couch thinking hard.
Samkelo: “Babe what is going to our bedroom?”
Oh that I forgot the minute he switched on the light.
Samkelo: “Babe!”
He's in front of me.
He wrapped a blue towel around his waist....His six
pack is like chocolate bars and he's damn hot in
that towel...
Samkelo: “Can I please have water”
I went to take a bottle of water in the fridge. I
remember my plant that’s why I was waiting for him. I
went back to the tv room and I stood in front of him
and gave him water. He opened the bottle and
220 | P a g e
drank.
I fastened my robe....
He almost got choked on water.
Samkelo: “Babe...” I sat on him and face him.
I started to kiss him. After a while He pulled out.
Samkelo: “Babe you'll get hurt....” I shut him up with a
kiss.
Me: “I'm okay my doctor confirmed yesterday babe” I
kissed him again.
We shared a deep and passionate kiss.
Samkelo: “But you said....” he didn't finish his sentence
my hands were running over his upper body.
Me: “I lied to you because I wanted to plan a special
night for us”
Our eyes locked. His hands were over my breast my
back...
We kissed....
Things heated up. His hands we're on my thighs.... He
stopped. What's now? He looked on my left
thigh.
Samkelo: “I’ll kill him” That was cold. He doesn’t scare
me anymore.
Me: “It will never go away babe so you'll have to
accept it” I'm still on his laps.
I kissed him slowly and I pulled away. Our eyes locked
gain. He took of my robe.
Samkelo: “You're so sexy” he bites his lower lip.
He stood up with me in a second my legs were around
221 | P a g e
his waist he went to our bedroom. He put me
down so gently inside the rose petals and he quickly
went to take the continental and cushions from
our bed. He was naked and I was still on my lingerie.
Samkelo: “Never thought I'll love someone like you” he
pecked my lips.
He took a strawberry and dunk it on the cream and fed
me and I did the same. We both on one
continental.
Me: “I love you my gangster” I kissed him.
Samkelo: “I love you too my gangsterkazi”
We both busted out laughing.
Samkelo: “We have to make our rules today”
What's his on about?
Samkelo: “Firstly we have to take shower together no
matter we're happy or not”
I laugh.
Me: “We don't keep secrets from each other”
He just looks at me he's not smiling.
Samkelo: “We don't go to bed angry and we solve
everything here. This is our courtroom”
I laugh because he's the one who used to make things
that makes me mad.
Samkelo: “I'll love and protect with every day I have”
I look at him.
Us: “I'll die for you”
We looked at each and we both laughed out. I got on
top of him our eyes locked again.
222 | P a g e
He's naked now.... His skin is so warm....His hand is
going up....
Fuck I'm wet.

Chapter 17

Me: “Ahh...” he is looking me in my eyes as he starts to

move slowly and gently. We're kissing. He
starts to move a little faster I'm weak now can't even
look at him.
He's moving faster now he turned me to sleep with
side one leg was up and he was in again.... He was
moving faster groaning so loud until we both came.
After the first glory he got up on his way to
bathroom he turned his head and said "I'm not done
with you" looking down at me.
When he came out I got up and made my way to
bathroom to freshen up. I found him laying on bed
naked.
Me: “Sorry please move”
He laughed first and moved and I took the duvet to the
sofa because its hot and we're going to busy
in this bed.
Samkelo: “Come here” he stretched his arm.
I love him so much even though he messes things up
sometimes but I love him with all my heart. He
took my hand and made me sleep in between of his
223 | P a g e
legs and my back on his chest.
He breathes on my left ear.
Samkelo: “I missed you so much”
I missed him too. We shared a bed but we haven't had
sex in a month and 1 week but he was holding
himself because he thought he'll hurt me but that was
nice of him just to take off some time from sex.
Samkelo: “Thanks for this special night babe I really
appreciate it”
He's so relaxed now.
Me: “Not having sex was frustrating you?” I tried to
hold myself from laughing.
He laughs loud.
Samkelo: “Too much. Looking at all of this but not
getting any is a life sentence"-he say his hand
moving from my breast to my stomach...
Mhm I always knew his weakness. He started on my
neck so he knows my weakest point....
This time I was on top making my territory and we had
our second glory in bed.
I hope it’s not him trying to wake me up by calling
me........
I patted on bed. He's on the bed. He can be childish
and annoying sometimes. Argh it’s his phone ring
tone.
I went to the bathroom to pee.
Samkelo: “Eita” Who call my man in the morning? Who
can ask a gangster that question?
224 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Fuck I forgot please go fetch her and take
her out for breakfast”
I can't hear who he is talking on the phone. I went back
to bed.
Samkelo: “Voetsek. Sure” he yawned and hung up.
He turned to look at me but I wasn't facing on his
direction.
I felt his hand grabbing my ass.
Samkelo: “Morning my love"
I'm pretending to be asleep. He separated my thighs
with one hand.
I felt him inside. I opened my eyes to look at him he is
on top of me.
Samkelo: “You don't like this?”
Our lips met and he knows that I don't like to be
disturbed when I'm sleeping but I won't say no to
morning sex.
Never!
After our morning glory we went to take shower
together and continued with our thing. After taking
shower I made bed.
Samkelo: “I forgot to fetch my sister on Airport but Kat
fetched her”
I assume it Kat who he was speaking to early on.
Samkelo: “They'll be here in anytime from now”
Me: “Okay babe” I made my way to the kitchen to
make breakfast.
I'm so hungry and I know he is after the night we had.
225 | P a g e
He went to study but I think he needs to check
his emails. When I was about to call him he came in.
Samkelo: “It’s smells so nice and I'm so famished” he
slides hands under the dress I'm wearing
I forgot to wear a panty.
Samkelo: “You turn me on babe with this thing of
yours” his pattern of breathing has changed...
Me: “We have to eat babe” I tried to move but he
holds me tight.
He pulled up my dress and I'm exposed on my back but
luckily we're behind the stove and we are
facing on the direction of the main door.
He made me bend and stretch my legs a little bit and
he was playing with my clit. Minutes he was in
pumping so hard and I was trying not to let out loud
moans but he's good in stealing he knows it
better if you know what I mean.
He came first and he was selfish. Mxm!
Samkelo: “That was greatest breakfast” he pulled out
and disappeared.
Wtf?
What about me?
Okay I'll get him. I must freshen up.
I went to bathroom at the end of the passage when I
came back he was already eating. I was briefed
about his sister he was already eating. I was briefed
about his sister so I must be nice to a glamorous sister
of his.
226 | P a g e
She is perfect in her pictures but I'll wait to see face to
face maybe she is photogenic who knows the
doorbell rang while we're eating he went to attend the
door after that I heard laughs so I assumed it
was his siblings.
Sigh.
So now I must laugh on useless things just to be
friendly.
Thando: “I need to rest"
What a great accent.
I think she's going to the kitchen and I need to clean
here before I go. I'll give them space just to catch
up.
Wow!
She's so perfect beautiful and well-structured with flat
tummy and curves. I'm so grateful that she's
her brother or else I would've lost it in a second.
Thando: “Hi” a flat “hi” from her.
Me: “Hey”
Silence.
Me: “I hope you travelled well”
She gives me some look.
Thando: “Yeah sure”
Okay.
I must shut up. Kat came into the kitchen and I greeted
him.
Samkelo: “Babe do you have plans for today?”
She choked on her juice.
227 | P a g e
Me: “Can I get you something to drink?” I asked Kat.
Kat: “Orange juice please”
He went to the lounge.
Me: “Yes babe I'm doing lunch with Thabi”
He smiles.
Thando: “She's your girlfriend?” she looked at me like
I'm crazy or something. What does that mean.
Samkelo: “Yeah she's my girlfriend her name is
Nompendulo”
He took my hand and held it.
Thando: “Mhm okay...” she left a glass on the kitchen
counter and went to the guestroom.
He took Kat's juice to him in the lounge. She gives me
some looks that I don't understand it’s like I'm
crazy. I went to our bedroom fetched my bag and I
went gave to the lounge I bid them goodbyes to
Kat him a kiss on the cheek and I went off.
I'll go uninvited to Thabi's I hope she won't mind.
I went Engen filling station after that I went off.
My phone is ringing….
Spikes: “Nomps I've been trying to call Ta Kat and SK
but I don't get hold of them”
Me: “They are together I left them at my house”
Spikes: “Spider was involved in a car accident in this
morning”
Me: “What? We haven't heard it thanks for letting me
know. I'm driving I'll call you when I get home”
we ended the call.
228 | P a g e
I took a U-turn quickly. This is not coincidence it can't
be. Spider is Avela we call him that most of time
because he's so good on jumping into others houses.
When you need someone who will break in you just
call him because no matter the house is fenced
with electric fence he goes in so that's why we call him
Spider.
I tried to call SK (Samkelo) and Kat I didn't get hold of
them also. I think Samkelo left his phone in the
bedroom I don't know Kat's story.
When I got home I found them watching a movie with
their sister.
Me: “Avela was involved in a car accident this
morning”
I know we always argue but I enjoy his company.
Them: “What?”
Kat: “Thando go to your room”
She gives him an irritating look.
Kat: “Now!”
She got up and disappeared.
Me: “This is not a coincidence someone out there
wants us dead”
Silence.
Samkelo: “It might be”
Kat: “Urgent meeting today at 20:00”
Thando will go to Thabi’s house and its unnegotiable.
He's based on Joburg so just updated Kat saying he is
alive but in coma. Spider was working on that
229 | P a g e
side for few months.
Kat told Sakhi to send more guys to Netcare Sunninghill
Hospital in case those people want to finish
him off.
Sakhi is leading the gang on that side.
-------------
I decided to call mom because I last spoke to her a
week back. She has been busy with Lord knows
what.
Mom: “I have a business plan and budget to start my
business”
Me: “Hey mom” She laughs.
Mom: “I hope you're good”
Me: “I'm good mom I hope you're good too”
Mom: “Yeah. Let's talk business now” Okay
businesswoman.
Mom: “I'll open an events company which will deal
with catering décors and planning events”
As if she needs money but if she wants that it’s okay
she'll get it.
Me: “Okay mom how much money you'll need to
start?”
Mom: “R100000 but I'm not sure about it it might
increase” That's peanuts to me.
Me: “No problem mom please call me when you're
done doing calculations”
Mom: “Just like that?” What she is on about now?
Mom: “I thought you'll complain but you're not or it’s
230 | P a g e
because of that man of yours”
Me: “I'm working mom and why I can't give you that
money. Mom I have to go I'll call you later” I say
and hung up.
Wheew!
Its 17:40pm so I need to prepare something for is to
eat before we go to the meeting. Thando was
fetched by Thabi's chauffeur at 16:30pm so I'll relax.
She has few hours here but I can define her. That
spoilt brat called Thando she can't even wash the glass
she was using.
I won't be cleaning after her I'm not her maid. She has
Samkelo's voice she can't whisper because her
voice is deep and loud. She's like a mermaid she has
round face with big eyes and a small pink lips
with small noise she don't need to use bra because her
breasts are so small with a flat tummy and
have hips with big ass but I can tell that she is lazy.
Samkelo: “Babe” he is coming from the passage
towards the lounge.
He's yawning and his eyes are small.
Samkelo: “Why you left me alone in bed?” he sat next
to me.
Me: “I didn't want to interrupt you babe I know you're
tired”
I'm eating ice cream. His hand brushes on my thighs.
Me: “Even when you're half asleep” He laughed
Samkelo: “I can't get enough of you”
231 | P a g e
I went to the kitchen just to make him something quick
to eat. I won't join him in the shower because
he'll want sex.
I found him watching the news. I sit next to him. If he's
not watching news its Parliament or soccer
that's bore me to the core. We went to get ready for
meeting after the news
At left the house at 19:00 just to be early. I knew about
our missions when I was recovering from the
shooting.
Ta Kat came earlier too so when everyone is here the
meeting will start. After 30 minutes we're all
here so the meeting started.
Kat: “Thank you for coming here at such short notice”
Silence.
Kat: “Without wasting time there's something
bothering me here”
It’s quite here.

Chapter 18

Kat: “Nompe was shot last month and Spider was

involved in a car accident fee days ago it can't be a
coincidence it’s a plan someone out there is beying for
our blood”
232 | P a g e
Silence.
Kat: “I need some points ideas or anything to work on
about catching whoever is behind this”
Spikes: “Ta I haven’t heard about the new rival yet but I
think this has to do with KG but he is striking
us indirect”
He has a point there.
Kat: “We were all involved in attacking and steal from
them but this is personal”
His phone rings. He spoke over the phone but his face
changed when he was over the phone.
Kat: “What? I'll come tomorrow” he hung up after.
Silence
Kat: “Spider is in coma and his condition is
deteriorating”
Okay In my thoughts why I keep thinking that Spider
and I we were targeted? But who and why?
Me: “Ta Kat” I didn't mean to tell him this without
confirming my thoughts.
Kat: “Yes Nomps”
Silence.
Me: “It’s a personal vendetta”
Kat: “But who because we have many enemies”
SK: “It’s KG” I wouldn't survive if it was him and it’s not
his style but who is it then?
No.........
Me: “I was shot by an amateur if it was a pro I wouldn't
survive....”

Fuck!
Me: “This has something to do with Luxolo's death”
Kat: “It might be but we have to be sure”
SK: “Remember she organise gas on his family and
Spider was helping her to break in that house”
Andile: “Who told them that kind of Info?”
Me: “When I was shot those people knew that I was
driving myself and they knew the route I'm using
when I go to work”
Kat: “I'll get to bottom of this. I'm going to Joburg
tomorrow there are things that I have to attend that
side”
After the meeting we went to our car because we meet
first go to our house then go to Thabi's house
to pick up Thando. Tomorrow I will take her out to
breakfast. I need to know her better.
When I woke up he was not in bed. I forgot that he
must take Kat to airport.
I was told that big four is coming here and Andile's
parents are in town. I heard that Andile's mother
loves Lwaluhle too much but I think it’s because he's a
clone of Okuhle.
I made bed and took a shower I put a skinny jean with
pink t-shirt and slippers. I like my feet to be
comfortable especially when I'm in doors.
Me: “Morning” I greeted Thando when I found her in
the kitchen.
Thando: “Morning”
234 | P a g e
Me: “Can we please go out for breakfast”
She just looked at me like I'm crazy.
Thando: “Already have plans”
Okay. She went to open the fridge.
Me: “We can do lunch then” I went the to sink to clean
that mess.
She came to the sink where I was standing.
Thando: “Sorry I won't do breakfast lunch or supper
with you. Who do you think you are? My friend?”
she rolled her eyes.
Sigh.
I'll make breakfast just in case he come back hungry.
When I was busy making breakfast he came in
the kitchen.
Samkelo: “Babe”
I was going up and down preparing
Samkelo: “Babe I'm talking to you” he grabbed my
arm.
Me: “Huh?”
Samkelo: “What's stressing you out”
What?
Me: “I'm okay babe”
Samkelo: “They called you?”
He's talking but I can't pay attention on what's he is
saying.
Samkelo: “Babe what is going?”
I heard noise coming.
Lwandile: “Sis’Nompe”
235 | P a g e
Me: “I thought you'll be here on lunch time”
They're all here in the kitchen.
Mbuso: “You're such a darling you made all this for us”

What?
I can't believe I made so much food but I didn't know
that they were coming. They all dished up and
went to dining room Samkelo dished up for me.
What is going on with me.
Big Four: “Your Majesty!” they said when they saw her.
Thando: “Voetsek!”
They laughed except me.
I ate my breakfast after that I went to the study
because they offered to clean after eating. Checked
my emails its work related and I responded to some of
them.

His chair here helps me to relax. I need to make some

call.
Me: “Spikes”
Spikes: “Nomps”
Me: “Can you please find some information about
Luxolo's brothers?”
Spikes: “Yeah sure. I'll call you if I have something
tangible”
Me: “Okay sure” I hung up.
Luxolo's family or brothers are the only one who can
try to kill because it’s not KG's style.
236 | P a g e
“You think it’s the Mbangatha's”
When I turn the chair to face on his direction he was
standing there.
Me: “My guts can't be wrong babe” I stood up.
Samkelo: “That's why you made that breakfast and you
seemed stress”
Me: “I'm fine babe and please don't stress about me
I’m okay”

We're standing looking at each other's eyes. He took

my hand and went to the lounge and we found
them there.
Samkelo: “Lunch at Andile's house”
His sister is giving me some stares I don't understand
but it’s not nice its rude to stare at someone
making some disgust facial expressions. She has been
doing that since she arrived yesterday.
Me: “Fast and Furious 7?”
I love that movie. I love action Sci-Fi horror movies I
don't like romcoms! Yes I'm a girl.
Thando: “I need to watch Twist of Fate” she took
remote control and she changed the channel.
We all just looked her.
Me: “I'll be in my room” I stood up.
I'll watch the movie to my room because we have tv
there and she won't come here to cause nonsense.
I won't be bullied by her.
……………………….Why she wants to shoot her brother?
237 | P a g e
I'll kill her myself I won't let anyone to kill my
man even it means it’s his sister. Who is her? Why she
is pointing a gun on Kat's head? Their only sister

is betraying them to the commissioner but how did she

found out or she was dating one of the guys?
o..... I'll fight just to save my man and his brothers....
Please don't shoot him... Please don't.... If one
of us make it will.... Nooooooooooo!!!!!
“Babe”
Someone is shaking...
“Babe wake up!” he is shaking me…
I hope that was a dream.
Samkelo: “Wake up you're having a dream”
Thanks God I was dreaming but I didn't like it.
I'm sweating.
Samkelo: “You seemed shocked and worried. What
was your dream about?”
I don't have to tell him but I will anyway.
When I'm in his chest I tell him all everything I don't
know why.
Me: “It was like we were kidnapped and your sister
wanted to show you and some other girl I don't know.
There was commissioner in that dream and it was
seemed your sister was working with him and
someone was shot but I don't know who was it”
I don't like to have dreams like that because dreams
happen sometimes.
238 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Come here” he stretched his hand.
I went to him.
Samkelo: “Don't worry it was just a dream babe”
I went to bathroom to freshen up and I wore a tight
maroon dress below my knees and black gladiators
and I neatly tied my Dread's.
Andile's father and Mntungwa are friends and they
were once colleagues. They both were civil engineers
so that's why Kat made Andile his right-hand man.
They're practically brothers.
Me: “I'm ready to go” I found them in the lounge.
Now we are waiting for Thando.
Samkelo: “Thando come now or we'll go without you”
Thando: “Haaah I'm here!”
Wow!
She looks so beautiful. She's that girl who dress to
impress even if she's wearing a skinny jean with
white shirt and high heels. Her weave is on point and
manicure and that pink lipstick suits her with
those cute lips of hers.
Thando: “Okay I'm here let's go”
I'll drive this beautiful black BMW M5.
Samkelo: “Are you sure you'll be fine driving that car?”
he asked as I took the keys.

Me: “At some time I have to drive it just to put past

behind me"
They all looked at me.
239 | P a g e
Zamo: “I can drive”
Me: “I'm fine”
He came to check on me as I started the car and I told
him that I'm fine. Zamo Lwandile and I we're
in the same car and I'm driving. Thando Samkelo Sphe
and Mbuso are behind us with the other car.
Windows are tainted in this car. He made that when I
was in hospital he when I was discharged.
Memories come flashing in my mind. I must be strong
I'm a gangster I'm tough I won't be intimidated
by these little things.
When we got to Thabi's she was sweating her button
the kitchen trying to impress Mother-in-law
(Mamezala). I heard that she's very fond of Thabi. I
went there to greet the elders and I left them went
to the kitchen to help Thabi.
Thabi: “Ei I'm almost done now”
MaNgema will be impressed here. MaNgema is
Andile's mother and Lwaluhle is on her arms. That
child will be spoiled to the core.
Me: “I'll help to set the table” I went to the dining
room.
I wanted to cook for my man but he's going to Durban
this afternoon. He must do an appeal on court
for his client.
Thabi: “Thanks mngani”
After some minutes she was done and everyone was
on dining table sited so the lunch was served. I was
240 | P a g e
introduced as KaMazibuko to Andile's parents by
Samkelo.
The doorbell....
Thando: “I'll go and get it” she got up quickly.
Maybe they invited others.
Girl: “Hello”
Everyone in the table was shocked to see her except
Thabi and me. All the mare communicating with
their eyes but it’s don't understand why.
She went to get a chair for her. She is beautiful I can
say she is thin with a dark skin she looks like a
model.
Thabi went to get a plate for her but the others here
around are not smiling including the Big Four.
We started to dig in and the food is delicious. She's a
great cooker and I love her food.
She is the one who booked cooking and baking classes
as my birthday present when I was in tertiary.
Thando: “Thanks Thabi the food was delicious”
Thabi gives me a confused look.
Thando: “Her name is Glenda she is my friend” At last
we know her name but why everyone is looking
worried.
The Big Four excused themselves and Samkelo and
Andile went to study and the parents went to put

Lwaluhle to bed.
Next week he'll be three months old.
241 | P a g e
Glenda: “Thabi you're look so beautiful”
She's not teasing her my friend is beautiful and her
complexion suits her and everything in her body fit so
perfectly.
Thabi: “Thanks”
She is not pleased by what Thando's did. She doesn’t
want strangers in her especially now because there's
Lwaluhle here.
Me: “What do you....” I didn't finish a sentence and
Samkelo came in saying we must go he has to prepare
for his trip.
I was trying to make a conversation because Thabi was
quiet. I went to say my goodbye to the elders and held
Luhle for few seconds so we left Mbuso at his brother's
house I think he wants to spend some time with his
parents.
When we went to our cars she went to lean on
Samkelo's car that he was using. Thando is
laughing with her and her laugh is annoying me.
Sphe: “Who invited her? He closed the door.
She chose the front sit on Samkelo's car. I must keep
calm here because I'm a LADY!
I drove off and his car was following me. They were
talking but I wasn't paying attention on what they were
saying.
After some while.
Me: “Who is she?”
Silence.
242 | P a g e
Didn't they heard what I said?
This phone.........
Me: “Sure”
My phone is on the speaker so he knows that I'm not
alone. If I'm alone or with Samkelo I called them with
their nicknames or names they are using in the gang.

Spikes: “I have something for you but I'll send an

email”
Me: “Sure”
What was I asking before the call....Arggh....I forgot?
When we got home she was with us I thought She'll get
off at filling station or something but she is here.
Samkelo: “Babe”
He took my hand and I followed him as we entered in
the house so I must pack his laptop and some papers
on the laptop.
His flight is at 15:15pm he still has time but he's busy
with something I don’t know but he so busy. He won't
be here for a week but he's not in the mood so I'll leave
him like that.
Samkelo: “Babe Phiwe will drive me to the airport”
He still doesn’t want me to drive alone but it’s okay if
he has arranged Phiwe to drive him.
Me: “It's okay babe”
He took a quick shower. When he walked out of the
closet he was wearing a black skinny fit with
white with gold and black shirt and brown formal
243 | P a g e
shoes.
He's not in the mood!
Samkelo: “Babe I'll call you when I land” he sat next to
me in the bed.
Why he's so rushing because he still has time but I
won't ask him.
Me: “Please do and I love you”
I hope he isn't rushing to his meet his other chick in
Durban. He took my hand again he put his arm to my
shoulder and I was carrying his laptop bag we went to
the lounge he took his arm off my shoulder.
Samkelo: “Please behave yourselves guys I'm going to
Durban for few days I'll be back in few days” he fixed
his shirt.
They all laugh except Glenda.
Samkelo: “I put her in charge for these few days so
please behave” he pointed me.
I smile but I don't know why. We heard the car hoot so
I think it’s for him.
Samkelo: “Bye” I followed him.
When we stepped outside. He hugged me and kissed
me
Samkelo: “I love you”
Me: “I love you too”
He kissed my forehead and left. I'll miss him. They
drove off. When I got inside I heard them laughing but
when I got there they were quiet.
Me: “I'm not cooking today”
244 | P a g e
Lwandile: “I'll order something for all us”
They're quite and watching a boring romcom so I need
to check that email that was sent earlier on. I went to
the study I took my laptop.
“Sisa and Daluxolo Mbangatha they were in town
around the time you were shot and I heard they joined
“THE DESTROYERS” before you were shot” email
coming from Spikes.

They joined KG's gang that is our rival gang so they

want revenge. What I don't understand is who told
them that I killed their brother unless there's someone
who is leaking information.
I need to check the ins and outs from the warehouse
hidden cameras maybe I can find information that I can
use or I need someone who can tail them for me just to
know every move they make.
I spent two hours here trying to figure out or trying to
think on what to do next. If I found out its them
I'll sent two body bags to their parents for them to
start preparing for two funerals for their stupid kids.

Glenda: “Nice study here” Who said that she must

enter?
Manners?
Me: “Thanks”
Glenda: “The supper is here”
I feel hungry and I need to eat so I'll go....I must go now
245 | P a g e
because I might not get food because of the
big four those kids eat in another way but they a thin.
Lwandile: “I ordered pizza and burgers”
Me: “I hope you have chicken there because I'm
allergic to red meat”
Lwandile: “Relax you're sorted” he smiled.
This Glenda girl is looking at me but when I look at her
she pretends as if she wasn't look at me.
I ate my junk food supper after that I went back to
study to continue what I was doing but I wasn't finding
anything to work on so after 22:30pm I went to check
on them they were on the pyjamas in the lounge
including Glenda.
I'm tired now it’s because of that junk food I ate so I'll
go watch tv in my bedroom to avoid conflict between
me and Thando.
Me: “Please lock the main door before you sleep”
They all looked at me. What now?
Them: “Goodnight”
I went to the bathroom and I took shower first and I
changed to Samkelo T-shirt. I miss and I always
do this when he's not around just to smell and feel him
through his T-shirt. I love him.
It helps me to fall asleep because when he's around I
don't fall asleep when I'm not in his arms and in his
chest.
Mxm I won't even switch this tv on because I'll fall
asleep while it’s on.
246 | P a g e
When I woke up in the morning it was quiet but I didn’t
pay attention to it. I went to the kitchen to make a
shake before I make breakfast. They are always awake
by this time. I went to check in the lounge but there
was no one there.
I went to back to my bedroom to take my phone to call
one of them maybe they woke up first then went for
breakfast. I found my phone ringing.
Me: “Babe”
Samkelo: “Where is Lwandile I’ve been trying to get
hold of him but nothing”
Me: “I woke up few minutes ago and the house is too
quiet and I thought they went out for breakfast”

Samkelo: “Okay. Try to get hold of them if you don’t

get back to me”
Me: “Okay I will” he hung up.
I went to their rooms but they were nowhere to be
found. I tried to call all of them but nothing.
My phone rings…
Me: “Eita”

Austin: “Police are on their way to your house make

sure everything is in order there”
Me: “Thanks bra everything is okay”
Austin: “Sure” he hung up.
I tried to call them but nothing.
My phone rings…
247 | P a g e
Me: “Ta” it was Kat
Kat: “How can you condone that nonsense?”
Me: “Ta what are you talking about?”
Kat: “You gave them permission to go partying”
Me: “I don’t know what you are talking about”
The bell rang.
Me: “I have to go. I’ll call you back now”
When I opened the door it was two Detectives and
Sergents.
Detective1: “Good Morning”
Me: “How can I help you gentlemen?”
Detective1: “I’m Detective Grootbroom and this is
Detective Sibisi”
The second detective opened the search warrant and
he gave me the wwarrant.
Grootbroom: “Gentlemen get in. Make this upside
down. Let’s get to work”
I just gave them a stare.
My phone rings…
Samkelo: “What is going on there?” I went outside the
house.
Me: “I don’t know but there police here with search
warrant. They are turning everything upside down”
Samkelo: “Why did you allowed them to go partying?”
Me: “I didn’t give anyone permission to go partying”
Samkelo: “Thando Big Four and Glenda are in holding
cells as we speak”
Me: “What?”
248 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Yeah but Machete and Spiro are sorting that
out. If you don’t know that they are not there
where were you last night when they went out?”
Me: “last night I didn’t cook they ordered pizza and we
ate. I felt tired and sleep I went to my room
took a shower and slept. I woke up when you called
earlier on”
Samkelo: “Fuck! I think they drugged you then went to
the party when you were asleep”
Me: “Okay” these brats…
He ended the call after he told me that Spiro and
Machete managed to get them out of holding cells.

Chapter 19

Grootbroom: “We didn’t find anything but next time

you be this lucky”
I smiled.
Me: “Thanks for wasting my time Detective so now
249 | P a g e
please go”
Grootbroom gave me a stare for a very long time after
they that they left.
I called Austin back…
Austin: “Are they done?”
Me: “They just left. What happened exactly?”
Austin: “Apparently the Big Four Thando and that Girl
they were with went to the club yesterday. They were
drinking and using drugs. Sphe and other boy got in a
fight the rest helped Sphe to beat up the boy and they
called police on them. Later we got an anonymous tip
of saying the address of your house saying there are
drugs there. I spoke to them earlier on Sphe said he
took the drugs before the left for the party meaning
who have made that call was there too”
Me: “Eish Austin I don’t know what to do right now but
thanks man for everything”
Austin: “Don’t thank me I was just doing my job
nomps”
After the call with Austin The Big four Thando and
Glenda came in.
Lwandile: “Sis’Nompe?”
Me: “Don’t! What the fuck happened?”
Lwandile and Sphe narrated the story as o heard from
Austin.
Thando: “Can I go to sleep now?” I turned to look at
her with raised eyebrows.
Zamo: “Thando please not now”
250 | P a g e
Thando: “I don’t have time for her nonsense I need to
sleep”
Me: “What did say? I’m talking nonsense when your
brothers about to skin me alive after what happened
worse Samkelo’s house is a mess and all you care
about is to sleep?”
Thando: “Listen here girlie I need to sleep I’ll listen to
your nonsense later on” when she was about to pass
me. I slap her so hard she even for a balance but she
balanced quick.
Me: “Say shit again you’ll know me”
I went to the bedroom and fixed the bed and broken
lambs. Samkelo will go cray when he sees his house in
this state.
When I was about to enter in the lounge.
Lwandile: “Please be nice to her”
Thando: “I won't be nice to that bitch she slaps me last
night. I won't forgive her”
Its Thando she's the one I hit last night. I'm the bitch
now.
Mbuso: “Thando please don't add another drama” His
voice is scratchy and he stutter when he speaks.
Thando: "I won't tolerate her and I have to call
Precious just to put an end on her nonsense”
Who is Precious?
Zamo: “Lower your voice Thando”
Thando: “She's just a girlfriend and Precious is his
fiancé”
251 | P a g e
What? I feel like I'm going to lose my mind right now.
Samkelo has fiancé? How can he make me to love him
when he promised someone marriage?
Me: “Who is Precious?” I came in the lounge.
The room went quite they were shocked by my
question. I need the truth now but he'll now me.
Me: “Cat got your tongue?”
I don't think I can pretend on this one to Samkelo. He
cheated two times and told me that his child was
aborted and now this. I didn't sign up for this
nonsense.
They were quite after that Lwandile went out and
came with PlayStation so they don't want to talk but I
won't torture them about this. I went to my designated
room and I locked myself there and cried.
I haven't cried in months but why now? The whole year
lying to me.
Nxaa that phone is annoying now! Its him. I ignored his
four calls and on the fifth call I decided to answer
because he won't stop....
Samkelo: “I've been trying to call you”
Me: “I was sleeping till you decided to wake me up”
But I don't sound like the person who was asleep.
Samkelo: “I wanted to check on you” As if he cares.
Me: “Your house is clean and back to its normal state” I
won't entertain him with his useless conversation.
Samkelo: “I'm coming home tomorrow” I don't care he
can go to hell but tomorrow I'm going to work.
252 | P a g e
Me: “Sure. Bye” I hang up.
My parents were right when they said I must find the
flat. I need it now but I'll get it today!
He called again.
Me: “What is it now?”
Samkelo: “What is going on with you?” Really dude?
I'm going to pull out my hair out one by one....
Me: “I'm tired so I need to sleep”
Samkelo: “You won't sleep until you tell me what's
going on”
He's scaring me now. He got nerves! I dropped his call
before answering him.
Bloody thug!
I decided to work on that mission. I called my contact
who is working at Vodacom because I needed details
on this number I was given by Sphe.
Spikes gave me an update Mbangatha brothers are
working together with KG. I also think that this girl who
fed Sphe drugs is working with them but I'll confirm
when I get details.
I went to the kitchen I needed water they were all in
the kitchen trying to cook.
Me: “When you done tell me I need to check on his
house” I left the room.
I need to speak to Thabi but it’s so hard to go there
because of his parents.
It’s can't be him again. I answered without checking
the caller id.
253 | P a g e
Me: “Yeah”
Nontu: “Bitchikazi” Eish maybe I'll talk to her.
Nontu: “What's going on?”
Me: “Too many problems but I want you to tell me
everything”
Nontu: “April it’s the traditional ceremony do you
remember?”
She always reminds me because I forgot when I'm
under pressure or if there's something bothering me.
Me: “Yeah mtase I remember”
The traditional ritual was postponed because I was
shot in December so it will take place on April. I love
her I wish she was here.
Me: “How is mister manager?”
Nontu: “I dumped that fool” she doesn’t take
nonsense.
Me: “Speak now”
Nontu: “I've been on a date with some guy called
Thokozani Dlamini”
Who is that I'll have to make some background check I
see?
Me: “Is he cute?” Even though they are full of
nonsense like Samkelo.
Nontu: “Of course he is and he's an architecture”
There's noise coming from the passage.
Me: “I'll call you back” I hang up.
What's going on they're crying. What is Sakhi doing
here?
254 | P a g e
Me: “What's going on?”
He is beating Sphe up in fact all of them but Glenda
went home this morning. They are scattered in
the room crying including Thando. Thando is a problem
child I concluded when her brothers told me
to deal with them including Thando. What a waste of
beauty in her.
She is crying out loud and her voice is loud naturally.
Kat is here too and he's laughing at this like
he's watching some comedy.
Me: “Sakhi wait” I tried to hold him back from beating
Sphe.
He's crying now.
Me: “Sakhi please man. You must listen to me so
please stop this”
Kat: “They can start crying because when I take that
sjambok kuzoshuba” Can he shut up.
Me: “Go to one room and lock the door” They're still
crying.
They quickly went to Thando's room. They must stop
clubbing now because it gets them into troubles.
I heard that was spoiled because she was the only girl
but it changed when Kat was fed up cleaning her mess
so she gets the punishment like the boys. She's rude
that why the beat her but their parents don't like it.
Also heard that She sneaked her boyfriend in her
parent's house at uMhlanga unfortunately Kat was in
was in town he found them and he bet the bitchy
255 | P a g e
attitude out of her.
Me: “Let's go to the study”
They followed me to the study. Kat closed the door
after him.
Me: “I think Sphe being hooked on cocaine is the way
to get back on us because I tried to call the number of
the his supplier but it was a burner phone and he gave
me another one so I traced it and its in Eastern Cape
same location as Luxolo’s”
Their faces harden.
Kat: “They want war and I'll give them”
Sakhi: “I'll make them choose on how they want to die.
They fed kids drugs just to get to us”
Sakhi is a cool and reasoning guy but when he's angry
the hell breaks loose.
Me: “So please don't beat them”
Sakhi: “Okay I understand”
The noise again. What's going on now! Its scandal after
scandal tjoooo! We quickly went to Thando's room.
Samkelo: “You're full of nonsense all of you” he was
beating them.
Nxaa I just got angry in a second I wanted to stop him
and take that sjambok and beat him up for lying to
me.
Sakhi: “Gazi stop now it’s okay”
Samkelo: “Please don't stop me have you seen the
state my house is in?”
He's so angry but I understand he loves this house or
256 | P a g e
maybe it reminds him of his fiancé. Kat and
Sakhi restrain him and took him to the main bedroom
and I think they told him what I told to them. He needs
to buy furniture for this house.
Samkelo: “Make sure we don't meet in the passage!”
This house will be more damaged when I'm done with
him. I'll break everything here. What's confuses me is
that I didn't find anything strange I'll rather know than
be in the dark. Everyone was making a fool out of me.
I went to main bedroom and I found him there shaking
out of anger. I sat on bed and I looked at him.
Samkelo: “What is it?” he looked at me.
He better not starts now.
Me: “I'm tired” I got in bed and laid down.
Samkelo: “I can't believe my house is so ruined like this
I won't sleep here today I'll sleep...” he is tying lace on
the sneakers.
Me: “You not going anywhere” I didn’t wait for him to
finish the sentence.
Samkelo: “You will tell me or you will be childish?” He
must not test me not today!
Me: “Childish?”
Samkelo: “I don't have energy to fight with you” he got
up from bed.
He went to the closet and came with his clothes and
overnight bag and he started to put them in the bag.
Jesus please don't leave me now!
I took his overnight bag...
257 | P a g e
Samkelo: “What are you're doing? Nompe I don't want
to fight with you so stop this nonsense now!”
You're too late War Zone III will take place right here
right now!
Me: “You're not going anywhere” I took his clothes out
of the bag and sat on them.
Samkelo: “You know what I don't need this” he went to
the door. I quickly went to stand in the door before he
reaches it.
Samkelo: “Move!” his voice is firm.
Me: “Who is Precious?” His face hardens and frowned.
Samkelo: “I don't know what you're talking about.
Move!” he pushed me.
I went to the Garage and looked for crowbar or exe. I
found a crowbar I started in the lounge. They were not
here good I started with tv on wall I smashed it and
went for a glass coffee table he bought in Italy. In a
second they were all here looking at me.
Sakhi started coming towards me...
Me: “Don't!”
I smashed the tv stand big white vase in few minutes it
was hell.
Me: “Who is Precious?”
They were quiet.
Me: “Okay” I continued vandalising his furniture.
There a big painting hanging in the wall and it is
framed.
Me: “How about this?” I looked at his direction.
258 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Please don't please babe I'm begging you”
Me: “Tell me the truth now or I'll smash it and destroy
this painting!”
Samkelo: “Please let's go to the dining room so we can
all sit down and talk”
They entered first and I followed them.
Kat: “Please sit” I gave him a death stare.
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry what I'm about to say to you....”
Me: “Get to the point” I'm standing holding the
crowbar.
Samkelo: “Okay. Precious is my ex-fiancé. It wasn't my
intentions to hurt you but I'm sorry for you to find this
out this way”
Me: “You're lying I overheard Thando saying she will
call her to come here. How can she call your ex to
come here?”
They all looked at her.
Samkelo: “Babe please come down don't believe what
you heard” I’m pacing up and down I feel like
I'm really losing it.
Me: “She's your sister why would she lie about
something like this”
Samkelo: “Babe please come down”
I heard Thabi's voice shouting my name.
Thabi: “Mngani please put that down please” she came
to me.
My body is itching I feel like ants are crawling under my
skin. I hate to be angry like this.
259 | P a g e
Thabi: “Mngani put that down....” she took the
crowbar from me and she hugged me after that.
She's the only one I can listen to here and calm me
down and she knows that. I felt tears dripping down
my cheeks I promised myself that I won't cry again
especially when it involves a man or something to do
with a relationship. I cried a lot when I was dating
Lulonke so I can't do this now.
Thabi: “Please calm down for your own sake or else
Asthma will take its toll”
I'm crying out loud.
Samkelo: “Asthma?”
Thabi: “Yes she has asthma”
Thabi took me to my bedroom. I lied on bed but I won't
fall asleep.
Samkelo: “Can I call the doctor?”
Thabi: “Please give us some time to talk”
I don't want him near me when I'm calmed I'll book the
hotel I won't sleep here tonight.
Thabi: “Take” she gave me pills and glass of water
She was speaking to me but I was feeling sleepy
Thabi: “Sleep” she brushed my hair.
----------
I must doze off. The side lamp is on so it’s at night I
assume.
When I tried to wake up...
Me: “You freaked me out”
Samkelo: “Sorry babe”
260 | P a g e
He wanted to hold me to go the toilet but I gave him a
death stare.
When I came out.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm so sorry about what happened and
I'll prove it to you that I'm no longer with her”
He's sitting on the edge of the bed.
Me: “I'm moving out tomorrow” I sat on the bed on the
opposite direction.
Samkelo: “I'll never allow you leave me. I love you
Nompendulo only you babe” I don't care about shit.
Me: “You don't own me so you won't tell me what to
do or not do to”
Samkelo: “She is my ex fiancée I loved her I won't lie
but it ended when she was busy seducing
Thokozani. He told me about it because he's Andile's
brother so he is like my brother so he told me because
he didn't want to cause conflict between me and him”
I'm quiet.
Samkelo: “One day I was at Andile's and Thokozani was
there but she didn't know that I was at
Andile's. She called Thokozani and he answered the call
and put on loudspeaker so she was telling him how she
feels about him and I recorded everything”
Me: “Where is she now?”
Samkelo: “She is overseas as far as I know. Please babe
believe me when I say I broke the engagement we can
even call my parents just to confirm of what I'm saying
to you”
261 | P a g e
Me: “Were you ever gone tell me?” He looked down.
Samkelo: “I wanted to tell you babe but I was scared.
Can we please put this behind us?”
Me: “Okay”
He came to sit next to me.
Samkelo: “I miss your lips” he lifted my head up to look
at him.
I looked at him and our lips met. I missed him so
much.
Me: “I'm sorry to break your furniture” I looked down
I'm shy now.
Samkelo: “It’s okay babe I understand”
I hate that bitch called Thando I'll deal with her but not
now. Tomorrow I going to work so I need to
sleep but he wanted us to cuddle.
Samkelo: “I love you. I know you don't trust what I'm
saying right now but you'll see by my action”
I don't trust him but I love him so we need to put this
behind us.
Me: “From today on wards can you please tell me
everything even if you know it will hurt me”
Samkelo: “Huh?” he's blinked repeatedly. His left eye is
on my ear.
Me: “Yeah if you do that nothing can break us”
Samkelo: “Mhm okay”
I think he wasn't sure if he can or not answer that
question but the truth is I want to know everything
even it means it can break my heart it’s better to hear
262 | P a g e
it from him than hear things from other people.
Samkelo: “I love you” he held me tight.
He knows I love him too.
I thought I'll be getting breakfast in bed but it’s cool I
think but he was supposed to be sweet after finding
out about his fiancée.
I need to prepare myself for work.
Today I'm wearing dusty pink tight lacy dress with black
red bottom and it will go well with Daniel Klein watch
for the change and Gucci handbag. I need to cut these
dreadlocks I'm tired of it now so soon I'll be wearing a
weave.
Samkelo: “Wow!” he said when he saw me coming to
the kitchen.
Me: “Thanks babe”
I took a bowl I'm eating cereal today I think he will get
the message.
Samkelo: “I'll drive you to work”
Jealous! I gave him a stare. He is in a better mood
today so he mustn't spoil it.
Samkelo: “I'm hungry babe” He didn't get the
message.
Sometimes he can be I don't know what!
Thando: “I'm making breakfast”
We turn to look at her. She must be kidding.
Thando: “I'm serious”
What? Okay that's my cue. I'll grab something on my
way to work I won't eat her food. Food poisoning
263 | P a g e
I won't survive it.
Me: “Babe I'm going now. Have a wonderful day” I
leaned in to kiss him.
The big four came in as he kissed my forehead. They
greeted and we greeted back.
Me: “And school?”
The room went quiet. They busted out laughing.
What is funny on what I said?
Lwandile: “It was our last year at varsity last year”
I thought this was their last year at Varsity.
Me: “Whatever”
I took my laptop bag and went off. I couldn’t attend
the end of the year staff party last year thanks to those
dogs. They will feel my wrath. When I arrived at work
there were few colleagues but I don't know why.
Receptionist: “Boss called for you in the boardroom”
Me: “Mhm okay sisi thanks”
I went straight to boardroom with my laptop bag. It’s
quite here so he's in a meeting I must get in.
“Surprise!”
What is going on here?
Andile: “We glad that you here with us and you
recovered”
That's sweet of them but there was no need for it.
Me: “Thanks guys I really appreciate it”
There was my favourite cake fruit cake and coffee.
After 15 minutes everyone went back to their working
stations. I must talk to Andile the boss maybe lunch
264 | P a g e
time.
It’s great to be at work let me say it’s great to waste
my time here. I don't really need this job I have so
much money. When I'm going home I must go with a
lot of money to bury it because you can't predict future
especially when you are gangster. In case I die.
I went back to my desk to work. My day was great after
that surprise in the morning in no time it was knock off
time. I'm driving myself I won't be bullied by some. I
connected my phone to play some music I really
enjoyed today's day.
When I got home he was in the study in a conference
call so I can't disturb him I'll start to prepare for supper
luckily everyone is here.
They are still not comfortable around him because
when he still angry at least he's not shouting at them.
Sex will try to ease his tension but we'll see about it
because I'm in a good mood.
Lwandile: “Do you have flue medication here” he came
in the kitchen.
Flue can turn you into something face. His face is not
cute as usual.
Me: “Yeah I have it. I'll go and take it for you”
Samkelo came out when I was about to finish cooking.
He was in a serious meeting I can say that by looking at
his face. I gave Lwandile the medication he wanted.
Me: “Supper is ready!” They came to the dining room.
Mbuso is here with us. Ever since his parents are in
265 | P a g e
town he doesn’t pay attention to them but I think it’s
because of their attention is on Lwaluhle and I do
understand their obsession about that kid.
Zamo: “You look miserable bra”
In think their graduation is on April or May I don't
know. I doubt they will ever work these one I
really doubt it.
Lwandile: “Flue indlala ngami”
His Zulu is so poor but all the big four and Thando. His
face changes and he swallowed food. He stormed out
of the dining room running.
We all stop eating.
Me: “I'll go to check him”
When I was coming toward the toilet I heard noise
coming from the toilet. He is vomiting I think he must
see the doctor first thing in the morning.
After some while he came out.
Me: “Are okay?”
Lwandile: “Yeah I'm okay”

Chapter 20

We went back to the dining room and we found them

eating I can't believe them.
Samkelo: “Are you okay?”
Lwandile: “Yeah I'm fine. I think its flue”
266 | P a g e
He went to sit in his chair. He started to eat after
swallowing he stormed out again.
Me: “Sit babe I'll go and make him ginger tea I'm sure it
will come down” He was going to check on him.
What's wrong with him. After getting out from
bathroom he went straight to the bathroom and I
took his tea to there. He will wake up feeling good. I
found them in the kitchen loading the dishes in
dishwasher machine and she cleaned the dining table
“oh wow!” I wonder she'll be doing it for how long.
Me: “He'll be fine in the morning”
"I'm going back to Durban tomorrow and try that
nonsense again you will see what I'll do to all of you"-
he say with anger. He took my hand it’s time for us to
sleep.
He's still angry for that I wonder when he will buy new
furniture for this house. Next week Friday it’s the day
he first kissed me. I still remember that kiss those lips
and dark brown eyes. I think he'll still be in Durban by
that time.
Me: “Can I give you back massage?” He looks at me
with a smile.
Samkelo: “Please babe”
He laid on bed with his stomach so I must on top of
him and give it to me. He's so tense but I think
its work.
Samkelo: “Mhm babe you're so good in this” he's
enjoying it but when I ask him to give me foot massage
267 | P a g e
he complaints about it.
Me: “Babe I need to talk to you”
Samkelo: “Mmh okay babe
Me: “Thabi thinks Andile is cheating on her”
Samkelo: “Tjoo babe”
Me: “She thinks he is cheating because he leaves her in
the middle of the night”
I hate to do this but I must protect her from knowing
the truth.
Me: “I hate to betray my friend but I have no choice
here but don't worry I told her that Samkelo does that
too”
Samkelo: “Babe I’ll talk to Andile about this okay?”
Me: “Okay”
Yeah he must do that because we can't have her
suspecting that there's something illegal we're doing.
I was massaging him starting from his shoulders down
his spine.
He was speaking at first but his voice was started to
lower until he was asleep. Whenever I see or I have
time I give him back massage and he quickly fall
asleep.
I remember the other day he had cramps on back of his
right thigh from the gym I thought he hurt himself but
in the afternoon it got worse so I massage the back of
his thigh he felt pain at first after that he fall asleep so
when I give him a massage he just fall asleep.
I miss him but he is sleeping now and I like to see him
268 | P a g e
when he asleep. He pouts his lips when his deep sleep.
I went to bathroom and I took my clothes pyjamas off.
It’s our rule. I get on bed and folded my
legs. He always complaints about being a bad sleeper.
I felt something touching me in my arms. I jumped.
Samkelo: “Babe it's me”
Arggh luckily when he is here I put my gun in the
drawer on my side but when I'm alone I put it on under
my pillow. I won't risk my safety.
Me: “You scared me” I woke up and went to bathroom
to pee.
Samkelo: “You are gaining weight babe”
That's the only thing he can say about my body
I got in bed...
Samkelo: “Come here”
He one arm was on my waist and the other was holding
my hand. His hand on my waist was squeezing my butt
a little bit. He turned my face to look in his at his eyes.
He kissed me passionately but my eyes were feeling
sleepy. I need to sleep but I won't sleep when he's
behaving like that. In a second he
separated my thighs with one hand...
Mhm he's little bit rough today and I'm game. In no
time I was screaming his name. I'll be in a good mood
in the morning after this great intimacy….
After taking shower I went to make breakfast I found
Thando on the phone. I think it’s her man. Her brothers
don't want her to date anyone no wonder she wants to
269 | P a g e
ruin my relationship with her brother.
Me: “Morning” She quickly turned around to look at
my direction.
She waves a hand and continues with her conversation
on the phone and took her coffee to her bedroom.
Zamo and Sphe came in yawning in the kitchen after
them Lwandile came in looking worse than yesterday
and he looks so dehydrated.
Zamo: “Bra are you okay?”
Lwandile: “I have a running tummy bra and I think it’s
that ginger tea” he looks so bad.
Sphe is quite of what happened. Sakhi went back to
Jo'burg.
Spider is still in coma and Kat hired thes pecialist in
taking out the bullet from his skull. We must find that
dog who almost killed him. On weekend I need to visit
him in the hospital in Jo'burg.
Lwandile needs to go to the doctor he can't live like
this all day.
I made breakfast and he came in complaining about
the bad smell of Bacon but I don't understand because
he can eat the Bacon all day but I think its flue.
Lwandile: “Ha ha ha I'll eat muesli instead” He went to
the kitchen and came back with the bowl.
Samkelo: “Go to Dr Ransool”
Dr Ransool is the family doctor here in Cape Town but
there's another one in KZN who is Mntungwa's friend.
Dr Ransool is Kat's friend but he's not a gangster and
270 | P a g e
he trust him.
Lwandile: “I'll go before lunch time” he looks bad.
We had breakfast and I kissed my man a goodbye
because when I come back to work he'll not be here.
Me: “I love you” I kissed him and walked away. He
grabbed by my upper arm and I was so close to
him and he kissed me while his hands were squeezing
my ass and the kiss was starting to heat up...
Lwandile: “Get a room!” I pulled out.
Samkelo: “You're rude even when you sick you moron”
He's wearing a flannel pyjama and a gown in summer
this means he's sick. He disappeared in the house.
Me: “Babe don't forget that we're going to Joburg on
Friday”
Samkelo: “Okay babe I won't forget”
I took my handbag and laptop bag and went off. I'll
miss him on these two days but I'll see him on
Friday night. It’s easy because Kat is on that side he
updates us in everything happening there.
Since Spider is in hospital I need someone who will go
to Eastern cape to find this bitch for me. I can't
go to Eastern Cape because I'm babysitting these old
children who one of happens to be a graduate in
Interior Design and other 4 is graduating in few months
to come.
I must call Spaghetti I know he'll do this for me. We call
him that because he always has confusing ideas or
solutions but his ideas are bright. That guy can confuse
271 | P a g e
and make you mind think backwards not onwards.
When I got to office I found others speaking about
going out after work. Its 07:00am for crying out loud
but others are thinking of alcohol but I won't be able to
do that because of those morons.
I call my family almost every day but I need to speak
with my mother because of the upcoming traditional
thing if they need grocery or go at or cow.
My phone rings. When I checked the caller id it’s mom.
Mom: “Have you checked your WhatsApp?” It’s the
first thing she says when she answers my call.
Me: “Hey mommy. No mom I haven't” she laughed.
Mom: “Check it now and get back to me”
I quickly checked my WhatsApp....
What? I called her
Me: “You didn't bother yourself to tell me?” it’s the
first thing I say when she answers my call.
Nontu: “Sorry mtase I was going to call you after calling
the pensioners” Pensioners are the parents I think.
Me: “Congratulations big sister. I'll test drive it in two
months’ time”
Nontu: “Thank you little sister. Can I please call you
after an hour or call you later?”
Me: “Later then” I hung up. She is doing morning shift I
think she's about to knock off.
She bought a brand-new white Mercedes Benze GLD
250D AMG Coupe and her profile picture is when the
manager was handing car keys to her. I'll buy her a
272 | P a g e
bottle she worked hard to drive that beast.
I'm so happy for her and when I'm happy my day at
work seems shorter than usual in no time it was knock
off time. When I got home they were in the study
looking at Thando doing some drawings I can tell she is
good at it and Zamo is familiar with drawing because
he was doing Civil engineering and I heard that he's
bright. I'm not cooking again and pizzas will do with
one glass of red wine won't hurt anyone. Lwandile
is better than in the morning but he's not himself.
Me: “Zamo can you please bring white wine and glass”
He went to the kitchen.
Thando: “Please make it two”
After taking few sips my phone ring. What does she
want now?
Phindi: “I need Spaghetti's number if you have one its
urgent” How come she don't have his number.
Me: “I'll send it now”
Phindi: “Sure” she hung up.
I sent Spaghetti's number to her after a second her call
again.
Phindi: “I need his new number”
Me: “I only have one that I just sent to you”
Phindi: “I need him to track someone for me and its
urgent”
Me: “I also need him for that but I'll find his new
number” I hung up.
If she can't reach him the whole day it's means maybe
273 | P a g e
he lost his phone but if he did he would have done sim
swap by now.
I took my wine to the study I need to make few calls.
Me: “Spikes I need Spaghetti's new number”
Spikes: “Eish I don't have it. I don't know what's
happening with him everyone can't reach him on
his phone but I'll find out what is going on with him”
Why we all can't reach him on his phone and no one
has seen him in days. I checked when did he last used
his access card to the warehouse but it was used two
weeks ago and we haven’t seen him that
last two weeks.
Me: “When did you last saw him?”
Spikes: “In last two week saying he was going to
Polokwane for business meeting”
Me: “Okay. Sure” I hung up.
So this means he hasn't return from his “business”
meeting.
Spaghetti is owning a filling station here it might
happen that he's out for business meeting
or something. Saddam can do this for me.
Why in last two weeks he last used his access card and
went out of the province for business meeting and he
didn't told anyone because our rules says you must say
when you go out of the province for some reasons like
you'll be assigned in a mission or in case something
happens to you.
I went to bed at 23:47 and I'm going to work
274 | P a g e
tomorrow. I hate it when he is not here but I'm used
to it now. Tomorrow I'll take them out to dinner just to
cheer them up because they are scared to go out alone
after that scandal I wonder how long it will take to get
back at their wrong doings.
I'm alone in this big bed and I'm bored but I must
sleep.
In the morning I prepared to go to work and I found
them in the kitchen talking and laughing but
Lwandile is not there.
Me: “Is he okay?” I asked when I don't see him.
Sphe: “He asleep I think its medication he got from the
doctor” He is starting to be himself again.
Me: “I'll go check him” I went to his bedroom. I
knocked and he didn't answer so I came in he was not
in his bed.
Me: “Lwandile!”
There's sound coming from the bathroom. Every room
here has its own bathroom so if they are here o one
share a bathroom.
I went there and opened the bathroom door he is
vomiting. I thought he was getting better but he's ot.
Lwandile: “I'm fine” he got up and washed his face.
Me: “You're not okay”
Dr Ransool gave him medication he must be feeling
better now but he's getting worse.
Me: “I'm taking to the doctor please get ready in a
minute”
275 | P a g e
Lwandile: “I'll be fine relaxing” Why he's starting to be
cool with it because he hates it when he has a flu.
Me: “Is there something I should know?”
Lwandile: “No! No! No! Everything is fine” He is hiding
something yes he's sick but there's more to that.
Me: “Speak Lwandile” He looks down and let out a big
sigh.
Silence.
Me: “Lwandile speak now!” he sighed.
Lwandile: “She is pregnant” he looked down.
What? But at least he's about to graduate so he can
take care of his child and the mother. Land surveying is
paying a lot of money so he'll afford.
Me: “Wow! Congratulations are in order” he faked a
smile.
Me: “Who is she and why you haven't introduced her?”
He looks at me with a weird look as if she was hiding
her or something.
Lwandile: “Her name is Rachel” he smiled a little.
Me: “So why are not happy about what you are telling”
Lwandile: “Her father is the Commissioner” he brushed
his head roughly.
Jesus please don't leave me!!
Me: “What?”
Lwandile: “Yeah so I don't know what to do”
Me: “I'm going to work now we'll talk about this when I
get back to work” I rubbed his shoulder.
He will need support because his brothers will eat him
276 | P a g e
alive. He was told long ago to break up with her but he
didn't listen to them so now there's child
now. Kusazoshuba lana.
I must tell Samkelo about this but not now I have to
talk to Lwandile first then I'll tell him after knowing his
intentions.
When I got to work Andile is not in he is in Dubai for
business trip he'll be back after an week and Thabi is
going home on Friday with Lwaluhle so I won't be able
to see her these days because I'm so busy with work
and solving issues.
Me: “Saddam where is Spaghetti?” I decided to call him
maybe he knows something.
Saddam: “Haah Nomps I don't know where he is and
I've been looking for him but he's not to be found”
Me: “Tell me if you hear anything”
Saddam: “Sure” he hung up.
There's something going on here and I need to find out
what is it. After work l will work on it.
My man called me during lunch time and I must
pretend as if everything is great but I'll tell him in
the side of our businesses other than that I'm not
involved because I'm his girlfriend no this wife.
----------------
I can't wait to test drive that machine. We were
supposed to arrive with her car but He said he'll
take me home so we agreed on meeting at Gingindlovu
to do some grocery together.
277 | P a g e
As he finds the parking space on the parking lot he was
little bit annoyed.
Me: “What is it?”
Samkelo: “That car almost scratched my car” Drama!
After parking the car I called Nontu to ask where she
is.
Nontu: “I'm at KFC” she says after answering.
Me: “Okay” I hung up.
Me: “She's at KFC babe
We went there and we found her in the queue of
placing an order. She greeted and hugged us.
I'm happy to see her. Then the other guy came in our
direction smiling I don't understand why he's smiling at
us because I don't know him but I'll try not to cause a
scene.
Samkelo is shocked to see who is coming in our
direction and Nontu is smiling. It seems I'm the
only one who don't know this guy.
Samkelo: “Aibo what are you doing here?” he gave him
a brotherly hug.
The Guy: “Babe are you still in the queue?” he asked
Nontu. What is going on here? I'm the only one who is
confused here.
Nontu: “Nompe this is Thokozani Thokozani this is
Nompe”
Okay I'm being introduced to the guy who is making
her all glowing and smiling nonstop.
Samkelo: “Babe Thokozani is Andile's young brother”
278 | P a g e
Nontu: “Andile? As in Thabi's baby daddy?” She didn't
know about it.
Me: “I'm glad to meet you Thokozani” we shook hands.
She is confused but I assume she didn't know that he
might be brother of someone she knows.
Nontu: “Please wait for our order we going to Shoprite
and you will find us there”
Samkelo: “That's won't happen” he smiled at Nontu.
They looked at him confused.
Samkelo: “Last time we were here that idiot touched
her” smile vanished.
Thokozani's smile disappeared when he heard that so
they decided to wait with us after some minutes we
received our order and went to Shoprite. We must buy
food and alcohol luckily Shoprite liquor shop is also
here in the shopping centre so that will be easy job for
us.
After we bought grocery we went to liquor shop and
bought alcohol for the ritual that will take place on
Sunday after that we were good to go. They went to
their car after packing the alcohol to his car and we
drove off.
I won't buy it now because it will be like I'm jealous but
this year I'll buy mine.
Samkelo: “Relax babe he's not one of us” he said when
we drive out from the shopping centre. As if that must
put me at ease with her safety.
Me: “Yeah babe I know but I'm not happy about it”
279 | P a g e
Samkelo: “You cannot choose who can she date or not”
Me: “If it makes her happy its fine babe but I'll keep an
eye on her”
I wish she can dump him but she loves him I can see it
in her eyes and smile.
They parked outside my mother's parent's house. TK
get out from driver's sit to Samkelo's car because he
will take him to Durban what if Samkelo didn't come
with me but it’s his luck that he has lift to
Durban.
We were all happy to see her first new car and I took it
for the spin and it’s the beast I tell you. I'll ask her to
drive it tomorrow just to go to Mtunzini to buy ice or a
lollipop.
Lol!
After eating supper we went to our room the girl's
room and she was here again I only like her company
when I'm drunk.
Anele: “Nice car Nontu” she is looking at Nontu with
some funny stare.
Nontu: “Thanks anele”Sometimes she can get to my
nervous but I talk and speak to her.
We have our wine under Luthando's bed as usual so
when noise come down we will start to drink it in this
bedroom. TK called Nontu after the call she was smiling
nonstop.
Anele: “He's cute” We all looked at her and I was
annoyed.
280 | P a g e
Nontu: “Thanks but he is off limit”
Wow someone is making her territory and I like it. We
drank all the night and I hope to wake in time in the
morning or else my mother will be on our case the
whole day.
In the morning my mother woke us up and my head
was killing me. We were supposed to make breakfast
but we were too slow and Aunty Nokwazi took over.
Aunty Nokwazi is my mother's sister she comes after
my mother then my uncle Zipho. She is
Luthando's mother and she is super cool.
Nontu: “Let's go to Mtunzini I need little things” She
took her cars key and we jumped and stand next to the
car.
My mother said we should stay behind that I was in
front seat waiting for Nontu to drive off. She always
speaks and stand for me in our parents. She is
stubborn and sweet but if you piss her off she can be
crazy and give you some hiding.
Anele: “Ai shame your car is nice and comfortable”
She can talk that one but Luthando's is quite I don't
know why maybe it’s a hangover. When we got to
Mtunzini BP garage after we were about to drive out I
saw a car with a registration of Gauteng (GP) but that
car looks like I know it but there are many cars of that
model.
She stopped the car.
Nontu: “We need ice I almost forgot”
281 | P a g e
Anele: “Let's all go”
The car went to park in a distance.
Me: “Go and I'll stay here”
They went to one of the shops after they went I took
my phone quickly and I took pictures of that car and
number plate. I need to check the owner of the car.
A black Wrangler with tinted windows looks familiar
and I think it belongs to someone I know but there is
the filling station so the are many cars which goes on
and out.
Nontu: “Are you okay?”
I was thinking about that car.
Me: “Yeah… Yeah I'm okay"
I don't know what took them so long. She drove off
and we went to Spar at Mtunzini and took few things.
------------
There's something about that car but I can't put a
finger on it but I'll find out what is it. When were done
we went off when we pass by the BP garage where we
were at earlier the car is still there?
“I need to know the owner of this car” I sent an SMS to
Spikes.
He called after that.
Spikes: “Are you kidding me?”
Me: “No I'm not”
Spikes: “That is Spaghetti's car”
Me: “Are you sure?”
Spikes: “I'm sure”
282 | P a g e
Me: “Okay sure” I hung up.
They were quite after that car but they didn't hear my
conversation. I wonder what's his car is doing there.
The rest of the day went well.
On Sunday everything went well too and I miss my
man. I'm going back to Durban this afternoon. At
Sunday afternoon we went home to my paternal
grandmother's house to see and we spent some
time with her and it was too nice to see her.
Lord bless them!
Grandma: “You have to go early I don't like you to
travel in night”
Yeah she is herself now she doesn’t like a girl who
travel or go at night. We took our bags to the car we
said our goodbyes to them and I’m the one who is
driving so that means we'll be there in no time.
I'm a maniac! He always complaints about it. We left
the troublemakers in Cape so we'll be alone all the
night because I'm not going to work tomorrow the
boss himself gave me the day off.
TKi is in Zimbali so she will drop me there and take her
man. They'll take a road trip to Joburg. I heard that
Spider is out of coma but he can't speak properly I'm
happy that he is alive.
When we got to Zimbali she tried to call him but she
didn't get hold of him. She dropped me off and went to
Hilton hotel where they were staying at. She didn't
want to be here with her man so I thought they
283 | P a g e
wanted privacy and I'm fine with it because I want my
man too.
I took my key out from the bag and I opened.
Voice: “I wasn't expecting you so soon!” I don't know
that voice and I took my gun...
Voice: “I'll come and get you now...”
I'm still quiet. She came in from the passage.
What?
She is wearing a red lacy lingerie. Our eyes met and
when she tried to run I aimed her thigh and I fired. In
seconds she was crying out loud. I grabbed her with
her hairs and dragged her to the dining.
Me: “Dare try to escape you'll know me”
I quickly ran to the kitchen and I took a rob and I met
her on the dining room door. I tied her up from the
chair with her arms on the other chair and I made sure
that she won't escape.
I slapped her.
Me: “What are you doing in my house?”
Her: “Who are you?”
The phone rings and I assumed that it's her phone
because mine is in my pocket. The caller id was
Scefe. When I looked around the house was untidy but
why because he's neat he won't create this mess.
Me: “What were you doing here?”
She didn’t reply. I slapped her.
Me: "I'm talking and you won't be quite when I'm
asking you”
284 | P a g e
I'm so angry at Samkelo can't do this to me.
The phone again same caller id.
Me: “Open this thing”
She laughed.
I tried to crack it but I did it wrong. I did IT in varsity so
this phone is an easiest task ever. I cracked it at last.
Me: “Look” I winked at her. Her facial expression
changed. She tried to jump.
First thing to go on her phone is her messages but the
call came in again same caller id. I waited for the caller
to cut the call and I went to her contact I wanted to see
this “Scefe”
Me: “Why man's phone number is saved as “Scefe” on
your phone?”
I'm shocked by this but why or she is hiding his
numbers to her boyfriend. I went to bend on her
and she spit on my face. I gave her one of a hell slaps
and it cause her to fall.
Me: “Don't do that shit ever!”
I went to her pictures on her phone...
Fuck!
Me: "Who sent you here?"
Her: "No one sent me here"
She took pictures of bank statement of his company.
They were pictures of our gang signature. I went to her
recordings. She has recording of Samkelo and Sakhi
talking about the mission that is next week another
one is Samkelo on the phone talking about rhino horns
285 | P a g e
Spikes speaking with Samkelo about killing
Commissioner and they are waiting for an order from
Kat.
Its over for us. I shot her again in the same thigh. My
pistol has a silencer always in case I need to act fast.
I took my phone and made a call.
Me: “Zee I need you here ASAP and please come with
Spikes” I hung up.
I tried to call SK but he's on voicemail. I was pacing up
and down and I need to call Ta Kat.
Me: “Ta where are you?”
Kat: “Durban” he is annoyed.
Me: “Good please come on your brother's house now
its urgent” I was relieved
Kat: “Zimbali or?”
Me: “Zimbali” He hung up. How can he ask Zimbali or?
Mxm I forgot about his apartment.
After 45 minutes Zee and Spikes came in and I went to
them.
Spikes: “And?” he asked when he sees blood.
Me: “Come over here” They were surprised to see this
bitch and I don't know her name.
Spikes: “What the fuck happened here?”
Me: “Its Samkelo's girlfriend and she knows everything
about us”
Zee & Spikes: “What!” they both said looking shocked.
Me: “Yeah”
I'm so shocked about this let alone I found her on a
286 | P a g e
lingerie in my man's house. He is doing it again. Ta
Kat came in after a while and I directed him to the
dining room.
Kat: “And? I can't believe you called me for this”
Me: “She knows everything about us”
Kat: “What? Who told her?” he charged to her.
He gave her a slap.
Kat: “Who sent you here?”
She spit on his face. She didn't do that I pray she didn't!
She signed her death warrant. He grabbed her with her
hair and she cried.
Kat: “Untie her right now!” I hope she won't die.
Me: “Zee please take the device there and take out all
the listening devices here” I pointed at the drawer in
here. She did as I asked her.
He beat her up and he throw her on the big mirror and
blood was on the floor in no time. He went to her and
picked her with her hair.
Kat: “You'll tell me the truth or else...”
Her: “You can forget about it” She is still on her
lingerie.
Kat took her lingerie off and told zee to burn it in case
it also has listening devices.
Kat: “Call Samkelo and tell him to come here now!” I
took my phone and tried to call but still on voicemail.
Me: “I can't reach him but I'll track him with his phone"
Zee took all the listening devices. Spikes went put it in
the sink. I took my laptop and I traced him. He's at
287 | P a g e
Hilton hotel and I can't believe it.
If he was with my sister and TK she would've told him
that I'm here or he is fucking another bitch.
Me: “He's at Hilton hotel”
Spikes called someone and Zee too. Ta Kat gave me his
phone and I called him it was ringing.
I gave it to him.
Kat: “Be here in 15 minutes” he said calmly.
Is he crazy I said he is in Hilton hotel and it’s in Durban
how can he get here in 15 minutes? I heard a car
pulling outside and it was not him it was our guys
Spikes called them.
I took her phone and I dialled my number to call my
phone. When I tried to call her number it’s the same
number Sphe gave me.
Kat: “What are you doing?”
They were looking at me.
Me: “Her phone number is the same number that Sphe
gave me and she is the one who was giving him drugs”
She was trying to laugh but she couldn’t...
I took my laptop and I wanted to check the numbers
that I have that belongs to the one of the
Mbangatha.
When I checked her emails there was nothing. Okay I'll
retrieve them in my laptop.
Me: “Boom!”
I tried to laugh. Samkelo came in sweating as if he was
running from someone.
288 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Babe I can exp....”
Kat slapped him before he finished his sentence.
Good!!
Kat: “Continue Nompe”
Me: “She is working with Mbangatha brothers who
shot Spider and me and she has recordings
that incriminate us”
Kat puts his hands in his head. I sighed.
Me: “Worse her phone is on timer because she is doing
undercover for them. If she doesn’t touch her phone in
24 hours everything is on the police”
Kat: “Can you do something about it?”
He said after some while.
Samkelo: “Babe”
Kat went straight to her and picked her up and he
strangled her and her eyes were popping out.
Spikes: “We need her Ta Kat” he tapped Kat’s shoulder.
Samkelo: “Babe please I can explain” he was in front of
me.
Me: “I need to work right now our lives depend on it so
fuck off!!” I'm angry but I need to calm down before I
lose it. He went back where he was.
After two hours trying together password but I realised
that if I have the name of the WiF is he is using.
She last uses the “Mbangatha household” good it’s
easy to this.
Their WiFi password is the same password I needed to
stop that timer on her.
289 | P a g e
I was drinking my 4th cup of black coffee with no
sugar.
Me: “Done!”
I deleted everything in a way they can try to retrieve it
won't come back so we are safe.
Me: “You can this take her phone to her place because
they'll track her phone down so if you take it back
they'll think she is fine”
Kat: “Great idea”
Me: “By the way Spaghetti is the snitch that why
Mbangatha brothers knew every about moves
from work to home. Yesterday I suspected that I saw
his car in BP garage in Mtunzini so that why I
sent those pictures to you Spikes”
Silence.
Me: “Spaghetti disappeared in two weeks and his
access card was also last used in two weeks after
Spider was shot and he wasn't reachable in last two
weeks so he was working with Mbangatha brothers
who recently joined our rival gang”
Kat sighed.
Me: “So this means this bitch was sent to get
information through Samkelo because Spaghetti
knew that Samkelo is a player and I think commissioner
is KG's friend or something”
Kat: “Tie her up and put her in my boot am coming”
Kat: “Sorry to see Samkelo's shit but I'm glad you saved
us again”
290 | P a g e
Me: “I was doing my job”
I never thought I will see this day him saying those
words. It hard to please him.
Kat: “Samkelo come with me” he said on his way out.
I don't cry anymore. What is the use of crying over
someone who will apologize and do the same
thing repeatedly?
They came back after 2 hours looking dirty and my
house was clean. They all went after his house
was clean. I'm feeling sleepy but I suspect on that
water Zee gave me
When I woke up in the morning the smell was coming
from the kitchen but I'm not hungry and I want to go
back to Cape and I'll move out to the apartment I
bought.
Samkelo: “Good morning” he flashed a smile.
Me: “Fuck you dude” I faked a smile and went straight
to the fridge poured myself an orange juice and went
back to my room.
Thabi called me I hope she heard it from Andile but not
the whole story of course but I assured her that I'm
okay. Nontu called too and I told her that I'm okay.
Samkelo: “Breakfast is ready babe” he peeped in the
door.
Me: “I'm not hungry” I can't even look at him.
I must have doze off and the fleece throw was on my
half body and its only him who can do this because
we're alone in the house. I hate to be here same house
291 | P a g e
with him.
Samkelo: “I'm going out babe I'll be back” he came in
the guestroom.
Me: “Yeah whatever” I don't like to disrespect him
even if I'm angry that's why I need to go back to
Cape Town.
Samkelo: “Babe look I’m sorry”
Me: “Save it dude!”
He left my room. I heard his car driving out. I packed
my bag and called to book the plane to Cape also called
the cab. When I get there I need to pack my clothes to
move to my new place I bought in last few months.

I got an early flight so in no time I'll and in Cape. I

called a cab to take me to his house after that he called
and I didn't answer to his call.
When I got there I found them in the lounge and I
greeted them went to the main bedroom packed my
clothes to he called again and again and again I didn't
answer or respond to his call.
I called a cab after that and I said my goodbyes to them
and exchanged few hugs.
My new place is cool but I need utensil and a new car I
can't leave like this to take cabs wherever I go.
After work I need to go to a dealership I need
something quickly I don't care how much it is because
I need it ASAP!
In my sleep I heard as if there's someone here inside. I
292 | P a g e
woke up.
Clive Christian No.1 London England.
Fuck! He was here! I will kick his ass if he is here.
Its 05:00am I woke up early with an hour. I decided to
go to switch on the geyser I have to put on always I
can't be waking up in the morning to switch the fucken
geyser!
I'm in my pink pyjama shorts and its matching vest. I'm
yawning and I feel sleepy but I won't go back to sleep
because I'll be late to work. In the passage his scent is
there so it means he was walking around as if he owns
the place.
Bastard!
Who is that?
I took the vase near me just in case it’s not him maybe
it’s someone who tries to fool me and kill me but I'll
fight him with anything I find around me.
Nxaa
I checked careful and guess it who it’s Samkelo and I
went straight to the door and I opened the door.
Me: “Get out of my house!” He stood still.

Chapter 21
293 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Morning sweetheart” He lives to annoy me I
knew that long time.
Me: “I'm begging you please get out of my house”
He kept quiet.
Samkelo: “I'm not going anywhere until we sit down
and speak” he sat down on the couch.
I hate him! He came towards me and closed the door.
He pinned me in the door and his lips were on my
neck. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around
his waist. Our lips met and I missed his lips and his soft
and warm skin. He went to my bedroom and he gently
put me in the bed and he took my pyjama vest and
cupped my breast. His breathing
changed and I took off his golf T-shirt and I buckled his
belt. He is little bit rough but I like it.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry” he mumbled with a moan.
He is breathing in my ear and he knows it turns me on
and he on top of me looking me in my eyes and my
arms were caresses his back... Those muscle... He was
moving fast and I was screaming his name....
He was groaning like an animal we climaxed at the
same time... I like that groaning. My beast.
He got off me and laid on the side while we were
catching breath. He pulled me to him I laid my head on
his chest and I heard his heartbeat.
Samkelo: “Do you really like to do that?”
Me: “To do what?”
294 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Listening to my heartbeat“ he brushed my
shoulder.
Me: “Yeah” I love him can't say no to him.
I tried to get up.
Samkelo: “Please...”
Me: “Okay” I laid my head on his chest. I can't believe
myself I came back to Cape because I was angry at him
but now I'm in his chest.
Samkelo: “No words or explanation or expensive gift I
can buy for you to forgive me. I'm not perfect my love
and I've done so many bad things in my life but what
we both share it's so pure and innocent.
From now on its you and only you in my life I promise
you” he says brushing my back.
Me: “You always break my heart SK. I know that I'm
your girlfriend nothing more than that but I need you
to respect me as the woman in your life. You put your
life in danger and mine too” I tried to be calm I don't
want to lose it with tears.
Samkelo: “I'll be a man that you want and that you
deserve”
I need to wake up and prepare myself to work. I got up
but he wanted us to spend a whole day in bed but I
can't I have to show myself there.
He made my bed and ordered breakfast for us and we
sat and ate breakfast. In his eyes I saw sincerity love
and happiness but a morning sex can do that to a man.
Samkelo: “I love you babe”
295 | P a g e
He knows that and he can see it in my eyes.
Me: “I need go get going” I stood up and went to my
bag and laptop bag and he must drop me off to work.

I really need my car so I can't move easily.

Today I chose to wear a black leather chiffon skirt little
below my knees and a floral off shoulder shirt and
dusty pink heels and earrings that touches my neck.
He spanks me. I turned to look at him
Samkelo: “You too hot so I can't spend a minute
without touching you”
My day has a mixed emotion but that morning sex
made me to be closer to be him but I'm still angry at
him or I'm not angry? I don't know.
When I returned to my place I wanted to take a long
shower just to relax nje.
Me and Mrs Jones by Marvin Gay was playing at a
lower volume but the sound is coming from my room.
When I opened a door rose petals were on the floor.
What is this? I was walking slowly and it led me to
dining room.
Samkelo: “Babe” he gave me a rose.
I was shocked and I thought. He is wearing only his
boxer.
Samkelo: “Please go to our room and take a bath”
When I came after taking a bath I found a lingerie (lacy
bra and its matching panty) the panty is sexy it has
pearls on my butt giving him a great chance to see
296 | P a g e
through everything.
I wore it and he came. I saw him but I didn't see or
hear him coming in. I turned to see him and his face
was like “wow”.
Samkelo: “You're so sexy babe” he pulled me to him
and he led me to the dining table and it was a dinner
for two and he's so romantic.
After that we made love again and again. I just love
him he really convinced me to go back to his house and
I went back.
After a week I moved back to his house and Lwandile
was sneaking his girlfriend in here.
Samkelo: “Babe urgent meeting today at 20:30” he is
busy with his phone
Me: “Okay babe”
I need to tell them about Lwandile's that impregnated
Nyathikazi's daughter. Commissioner Nyathikazi
I think he want to put us in jail but every dog has it
day.
Me: “I need to speak to you and Ta Kat before the
meeting”
I think we going to discuss the way forward about
Commissioner but they must know that their brother
has created problem. At 18:00 Kat was here so I must
break this now or never.
I prepared juice and a cake.
Me: “I wouldn't have waste precious time of yours for
useless things but this is so important. I know it's not
297 | P a g e
my place but what comes in our way I think you guys
have to know…” I didn't finish the sentence because of
Kat
Kat: “Don't beat around the bush just get to the point”
Samkelo: “What is it?”
Me: “Lwandile impregnated the gir...”I didn't finish.
Them: “What!?”
Kat: “Where is that spoilt brat so I can give him a
hiding”
Lwandile is a grown up so I don't see the need of being
angry. Drama!
Me: “Please sit down so I can...”I didn't finish.
Samkelo: “He told you to tell us this rubbish”
Me: “Please come down”
Me: “The problem is the mother of the child is
commissioner's daug....ther” I looked down after
saying this.
Them: “What?”
Kat is pacing up and down luckily Lwandile is not here.
Me: “Yeah so I don't think killing Nyathikazi would be
create more problems”
Kat: “Fuck! I told him so many times to breakup with
her but he didn't listen to me look now we are stucked
with him for live” Kat is still pacing up and
down. “uLwandile wenze ntoni?”
Samkelo: “Fuck you wena!”
It’s Spider.
We got up and I went to him and gave him a hug.
298 | P a g e
Spider: “Ouch!”
Me: “Sorry! Are you okay?”
Samkelo: “You back at jumping fence” he smiled and
shook his head.
Spider: “Voetsek wena. Nithi wenze ntoni uLwandile?"
Spider: “Ta we have to eliminate that dog”
Kat: “There's some much at stake now because the
Lwandile's child is involved we can't take eliminate
him but we have to put him under surveillance watch”
Quiet.
Spider: “So nitsho okokubana nidlulwa nguLwandile
ngokusebenzisa lento ephakathi kwemilenze yenu”
Silence.
I'm trying to hold a laugh. I'm really trying...
Kat: “Nxaa suthetha ukunya kengoku
We all burst out laughing because they tease him
about not having a child in his age. I heard that he
was married and his marriage didn't work out but he
always has different girlfriends I wonder why
he don't settle down with one of them.
I went to kitchen to take glass for him but I guess I was
late because I found him drinking scotch.
Me: “Aren't you supposed to heal your wounds first”
Spider: “Hhayi marn”
After 19:00pm we went off to the meeting but we
wanted to be early. When we got the warehouse we
were the only one who came in first.
I'm minutes to eight o'clock we were there waiting for
299 | P a g e
meeting to start. He greeted in our way and the
meeting started and he's the one who is talking as
always.
Kat: “This meeting was supposed to be in past few days
but because we are all here”
Kat: “Spider we're glad that you're fine”
Spider: “Andingo mfece Ta Kat” he smiled.
We just laughed out loud.
Kat: “Since Spider and Nompe are fine now so we have
to find Spaghetti to get his goonies. I need you to find
him I want him alive”
Kat: “I almost forgot to say something important
Lwandile impregnated Nyathikazi's daughter. I know it
doesn’t concern you but knowing Nyathikazi he will use
his daughter to sniff around. I need you to be aware”
Nyathikazi is a Commissioner.
They were rumbling and speaking in riddles.
Kat: “We won't kill him but we have to watch him and
please I need you to tail him we need to know every
move he makes”
Us: “Sure Ta Kat”
I told Kat that I saw his car at Mtunzini BP garage so he
found out that he's staying there and he told me to
beef up the security in case he tries something funny.
After the meeting we had a braai and drinks. I had my
favourite wine
When we got home my tummy was upset but I thought
it was me at or wine I hope in the morning I'll be
300 | P a g e
better. In the morning my tummy was fine but his
cologne smell is so nice and I love it so much.
After I got dressed I took his cologne and put it on my
bag. I think I'll need it the whole day.
I made French toast for breakfast and he came in.
Samkelo: “Babe have you seen my cologne?” He has
many colognes but why he hasn't used the other.
Me: “No I haven't” I continued with what I'm busy
with. I'm lying I took it and it’s in my bag.
Samkelo: “I used the other one”
He was supposed to do that in the first place when he
couldn't find it.
In the office I was so hungry waiting for the lunch time
sour gently. I ate as if it was the first I ate food
in the last 5 years but I'm glad I have an appetite
because some other time I just don't want to eat.
After work I wanted to make delicious food for my
love.
Mbuso: “Nompe why did you tell them?” I decided not
to answer that.
This was the question I got when I came back from
work. I'm being ambushed in my man's house but
I must keep my cool. I went to my bedroom to change
heels to get my comfy slippers.
I took my phone and made a call.
Me: “Babe can you please buy Chelsea bun for me at
Pick n Pay. Please” in a polite voice
Samkelo: “Okay” After some long time he hung up but I
301 | P a g e
think he is irritated by this. Chelsea bun smell was like
it’s in here and I can imagine myself eating it.
At lunch time I took out my bag and the smell of a
cologne I'm in love with it. I sprayed it around my
neck.
I made beef fillet with baked potatoes and cauliflower
and it will go well with red wine so I'll see what
I will eat because I made beef and I'm allergic.
Went to bathroom and when I came out he was in the
kitchen checking on my pots
Me: “Yini Manje babe” I gave him a stare. He knows I
hate what he's doing.
Samkelo: “Sorry babe I was checking I'm hungry”
He is behind me and he is breathing in my ear he kissed
my neck.
Samkelo: “You found my Cologne?” he stopped to kiss
my neck.
Me: “I haven't found it yet” me rolling my eyes and he
can't see me doing it because he really hates
it.
Samkelo: “Babe my cologne disappeared and I just
smell it in your neck yet you don't know where it is”
He must not irritate me.
Me: “My chealse bun please”
He gave me a plastic and he really bought it. I pecked
his lips.
After they had dinner I was eating banana with white
bread. He came in and gave me a stare I didn't gave
302 | P a g e
him the attention. After putting the dishes in the
dishwasher I went to bed with my chealse bun.
Samkelo: “Haah babe you'll not eat here”
I went straight to bed and I placed it in the side table I
got in bed and I took it after taking one bite he took it.
Samkelo: “What is it?” Why he's so worked out?
Me: “Can I please eat?” I took my Bun his hand and
when I tried to take a bite he took it with force. I
felt tears dripping down on my checks and I let out a
sob after that.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry please don't cry take it” he
tried to hush me but I cried out loud and he gave back
my bun to me.
After eating my bun I felt something like it was hushing
me... I woke up in the morning feeling not
hungry and I decided not to make breakfast.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm hungry” I'm being tested here I can
see.
Me: “I'm not bye babe” I kissed his right cheek.
I don't care he must learn to make his breakfast I'm
tired of making breakfast for him.
He didn't call or sent a message but I don't care he can
find the deepest lake and drowns in it. Before the
knocking time I called him to buy a lot of bananas and
Chelsea bun and he said yes but he was angry.
Zamo: “I missed you in the morning”
Mbuso is sleeping here today because tomorrow in the
morning they have an appointment with the fashion
303 | P a g e
designer who will design their suits for their
graduation.
Me: “Sorry I had an early meeting”
Lwandile is little grumpy on me for telling his brothers
but it was the safest way because if he was there he
would've in a problem by now. He'll understand one
day.
Samkelo: “Can I please have a word with you” I
followed him to our bedroom and I was smiling all
the way
Samkelo: “I didn't like the way you spoke to me in the
morning and why are behaving like this?”
After a silly little lecture.
Me: “I'm sorry babe. Where is my bun?”
Samkelo: “It’s there in a Pick n Pay plastic. I didn't
know you liked it so much” He's calm now
Yeah whatever.
I went to the kitchen and I took my Chelsea bun and
bananas went to our bedroom. He just gave me
a stare but I didn't pay attention to his silly stare I sat
on the bed and ate. He was looking at me like
I'm crazy or what.
Since its Friday today I'll go check on Thabi tomorrow
since I'm not working tomorrow. I'm so tired I don't
know why but I think I'm coming down with flue.
I went to bathroom and did the morning ritual as usual
these days I don't like to take shower with him.
When I came out of bathroom I was wearing a silk
304 | P a g e
floral jumpsuit with red wedge pumps that's match the
colour in my outfit with gold earrings. I need to cut the
se silly dreads I’m tired of it now.
In the office I was feeling sleepy and tired I think on
lunch time I'll go to the dealership and fetch it today.

Time is slow today I need a bed to sleep but it's lunch

time now. I took my handbag and I called the cab to
take me to the dealership I know he'll be angry about it
but I don't care he can go to hell.
When I got to the dealership I went straight to the
manager and I wanted to buy a car cash in the
spot here fused but it’s okay I'll pay half then another
one. I can't use Samkelo's name because he’ll be
here in seconds and give me a hard time so we agreed
on his terms.

I went back to work I was feeling better than in the

morning. I didn't eat anything so the time was
fast after I bought Black Mercedes-AMG GT63 4
MATIC+4 -door Coupé .My baby ! I'm so excited.
After work I found my colleagues around my car in the
parking lot complimenting it and stuff and
Andile was there also. He is kind boss you can find him
talking with his employees cracking jokes and giving
them advices.
I took my car key in a distance and I unlocked it. They
were like what!!?
305 | P a g e
Andile: “Wow! Nice one Nompe” he shooked my hand
Me: “Thanks boss”I heard a lot of congratulations
around me and few hugs and handshakes.
Andile: “Keys please I want to test drive it” I gave him
keys and he went out.
After minutes later he came back and I wanted to go
and I told the other colleagues that I'm
rushing somewhere actually I was rushing to the salon.
When I got to salon I cut my dreadlocks and I'm taking
them with me I'll use it in future. After I was done in
the salon I went to Pick n Pay and I bought 4 Chelsea
buns and two bunch of bananas.
When I got home I revved my car and hooting they all
got out. They were smiling and clapping and when I
was done I parked it.
Lwandile: “Can we please take it for a spin” I gave him
the keys.
Samkelo was so furious with it and I knew he would
behave like he is now. When they came back I took my
plastic and locked it and I went inside. I found him
pacing up and down and I could see that he is angry
but as I said I DON'T CARE!
Samkelo: “Come here” he grabbed me with upper
arm.
Me: “You're hurting me!”
He is left-handed so he's hurting me. I followed him to
our bedroom he pushed me with forced to sit on the
bed.
306 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Is that a sick joke?”
I bent a little and took a plastic and I took Chelsea bun
and took a bite.
Samkelo: “Really? I'm talking to you and you're busy
eating?” he lost it. He came towards me and took my
bun and threw it in the door.
I just cried.
Samkelo: “Don't! I won't feel sorry for you. You bought
a car without letting me know and you cut your
dreadlocks without saying anything to me”
I cried louder than before. He sat next to me and I took
my other bun and I ate it and I was still crying.
Samkelo: “Okay I'm sorry I shouldn't have shouted at
you. I'm sorry but these days it’s like you living to
annoy me” He pulled me to his shoulder.
I haven't said anything I'm eating and crying at his
shoulder.
After that I went to the bathroom. He came in after I
started to take a shower I was so annoyed but
I didn't say anything. He started to kiss me and I
continued taking a shower. He turned me to look athim
our lips met when things heated up he picked me up
and we have our first glory in the bathroom and the
second was in our bed.
I do love sex but these days it’s worse. I slept in his
chest.
Samkelo: “Good morning sleepy head” he said in that
voice and he kissed me.
307 | P a g e
Me: “Morning babe” I wanted to wake up but He
grabbed me by my waist and I landed in his chest.
Me: “I need to pee” I kissed his cheek.
I went to the bathroom and he came in and we took
shower to get her and we had a morning sex.
He helped me to make our bed today.
In the passage we had an aroma coming from the
kitchen when we got there Thando was busy
making breakfast. The others came after us. We had a
breakfast after I went to work. Samkelo was
working home today not in the office. He has offices
here and in Joburg and Kat is a shareholder.
At work my body was itching but it was not that bad
but after lunch it got worse it allergic. Samkelo
was called to pick me up because my body was
swelling and I couldn't see properly.
When we got home I drank my allergic pills and he
called the doctor after that I passed out.
When I woke up it was 17:20pm but I remained in bed I
heard a door opening I closed my eyes pretending I
was asleep and heard footsteps coming towards me
and sat on bed.
Thando: “Ncooah sweetheart look at you. You look bad
you thought you can beat me up and get away with it
no no no darling” I will deal with her not now and she
will get the best punishment.
I heard a door opening again and I heard him talking
and they went out. I opened my eyes I don't believe on
308 | P a g e
what I've just heard now I must pretend as if I didn't
hear anything and keep my cool.
After 30 minutes I woke up and made my way to the
living room and there's Thabi Andile Mbuso and
Gwajo. Samkelo came to help me to sit down.
Thabi: “Friend how are you feeling now?”
Me: “I'm feeling little better itching has calm down but
headache is killing me”
Andile: “Sorry Nompe. Did you eat something that you
allergic to?”
I tried to take Gwajo but my whole-body ache they
took him off me.
Me “I ate breakfast in the morning but I think it’s just
occurred”
Andile: “Don't come to work until you're are perfectly
fine. Samkelo don't let her out until she's fine”
Samkelo: “Thank you I will make sure of it”
I hate Andile for saying that to him. I left them in the
living room after I felt sleepy and I passed out after I
got in bed.
After two days I was feeling better and swelling has
gone down but in my face it was still there.
Samkelo went to the office to sign so me documents
and I took my car and I went to buy my
favourite recently.

When I got to the car on my way back my phone.

Samkelo: “Where are you!?” he is breathing fast.
309 | P a g e
Me: “I'm on my way back now I'll be there just now” I
hung up before he starts to shout.
Drama! When I got home he was in the driveway.
Samkelo: “Don't go without telling me okay”
Really? Is he my father now? I know how to protect
myself anyway I'm a gangster so he can calm down. I
went straight to our bedroom.
Samkelo: “What is going with you babe”
Me: “What do you mean about that?”
Samkelo: “You're not yourself lately you are acting
strange”
Me: “I'm fine!” I snapped.
He just gave me a confused look. What now?
He slept early today he was complaining of being tired
so I tried to read a book but the smell of the
Chelsea bun made me to go to the kitchen took my bun
and made my way back to bed. When I started to eat
my bun he woke up.
Samkelo: “Are you eating at this time?” he yawned.
Me: “Yes I'm eating because I'm hungry and your
problem is?” I snapped.
Samkelo: “Eating at 00:20am?”
Me: “I'm supposed to die of hunger because it's
00:20am? Please leave me alone!” I'm yelling now.
He woke up and sat up.
Samkelo: “I'm tired of your nonsense. I'm going to
sleep in the one of the rooms in this house” he got up
went to the closet to take a blanket when he wanted to
310 | P a g e
take a pillow I took it first.
Samkelo: “Give me my pillow or I'll slap that stinky
attitude out of you now” him took a pillow from me.

Mxm he can go and sleeping the roof if he wants I

don't care. He went out of the main bedroom I went to
the closet and took his favourite golf T-shirt and I wore
it.
I heard a hand touching my thigh when I woke up its
him.
Samkelo: “My golf T-shirt?”
Moron.
Me: “I missed you so I decided to wear it”
He rolled his eyes and went to bathroom. I followed
him to the shower I was behind and I touch
his manhood he didn't respond. My other hand went
up from his waist to six pack to his chest while I
was playing with his manhood.
Samkelo: “Can I please take a shower with peace”
Me: “Okay” I went to the other shower tap to take a
shower on my own.
I wore a pink Nike tracksuit when I got out of the close
the made bed and went out.
---------------
Kat: “Spaghetti is in town trace his moves or cell phone
or anything”
Me: “I'm on it” he hung up.
I went to study and I started to work. Spaghetti is really
311 | P a g e
in town and he's not using his house he is using a
guesthouse.
My phone...
Spikes: “We're following Spaghetti and he's in one of
the guesthouses around here call everyone to we will
meet on our spot in the evening”
Me: “Tell me when you get there I'll jam his mobile
network and in minute you'll get in few seconds”
he hung up.
I heard that Zee is in town so I'll see her tonight.
He came in and I told him about tonight's mission but
not exactly a mission but a game. He nodded and
didn't said anything.
If the big four and Thando is here we use the back exit
in the house to go our dark and dangerous ways.

I called him when I managed to jam Spaghetti's mobile

in case he wants to make one phone call that could
land us in jail. After they got him they took him to the
warehouse and they informed me and
Spider as well.
At 21:00pm we made an excused of being tired went to
our bedroom and we got dressed to our signature
clothes and we went out using the back-emergency
exit in the house. Spider was waiting for us in the back
street of our house.
Spider: “At last you two morons” he is rude as usual.
He drove off and he was speaking to Spider and not
312 | P a g e
me. Mxm I don't care.
When we got to the warehouse he was chained his
head down and legs up. In a minute we were
all together inside the warehouse. Kat is angry Andile
was the last one to who came in.
Spaghetti: “Hade Ta Kat....” he when he saw Ta Kat.
He was wasting his time if he's trying to plead to spare
him his life.
Kat: “Spider and Nompe the honour is yours”
Us: “Thaa Ta Kat” we say lifted our hands up with guns
in it.
When he says “The honour is yours” he means it up to
you and you'll decide on which way to kill him.
Me: “Jutas” I laughed and Spider joined in.
There are many weapons to kill him so because he sold
the both of us we'll team up or killing him separately.

Me: “Today I want to see your little useless brain of

yours”
Spider: “Ndifuna ukukwalukisa Four-Five Yalekhenkwe”
We all busted in laughter.
Me: “Start I'll feed him his little brain” He was cursing
and swearing and shaking.
Spider: “Spaghetti Spaghetti Spaghetti!” he as he is
investigated the given weapons.
Me: “Start to speak now!” I took the Robyi grinder
switching it on.
Spaghetti: “Okay! Okay! Okay!”
313 | P a g e
Spaghetti: “Bra KG is the one who offered me money
because I was in too much debt in exchange of giving
him information about you all”
Spider: “Nxaa uyaxoka kwedini" came towards him
with grinder on I leaned it on his ear he started to
moan.
Me: “You can do better than that Spaghetti” I laughed.
His right ear is bleeding so he better talks now.
Kat: “Bring boiling water here now!” We're all have bad
way of getting the truth but Kat is the big bastard.
Spaghetti: “I'll talk Ta Kat”
They bring the boiling water to us.
He is crying now.
Spaghetti: “He found me in the flat of his niece and we
were busy having sex and he said he will spare my life if
I give him a solid proof on you guys. Luxolo's brothers
forced me to give then a me of the person who killed
their brother and who was assisting that person so I
gave them Nompe and Spider
I told them the routes Nompe uses when she goes to
work and told them where Spider is” his
voice trembling.
Spaghetti: “Hadee Ta Kat they said they will kill my
family if I don't give them Nompe and Spider” he is
crying now.
Silence.
Spider: “Yhuuu Jutas” he clapped his. We all laughed
out.
314 | P a g e
I took a sharp screwdriver and I put it in his right eye
and it got damaged. He was crying like a baby.
Spaghetti: “Ta Kat I was forced please hear me out”
crying.
Ta Kat took few steps back so it means he is ours now.
Spider: “Spaghetti One-eye Almost half ear it's time to
circumcise that useless Four Five of yours”
I see what SK told me about Spider. This guy is a loose
cannon I see it now maybe he's bipolar.
He did cut his private part but he didn’t finish to cut it
he left it hanging. I cut his skull using axe and
his bled and died after that. The guys cleaned the
warehouse and when I went to the toilet I overhead
him and his old brother.
Samkelo: “We are not in speaking terms and she
annoys me so much”
Kat: “Talk to her maybe there's something you did that
made her angry”
Samkelo: “I didn't do anything. She is eating in
midnight; stole my Cologne and we're always
fighting this day”
Kat laughed out loud.
Kat: “Maybe she is not alone” Kat laughed again.
Samkelo: “You think she is preg? Ai it can't be she’s on
a pill”
Holy Ghosh intervenes! He knows I thought I hid it so
well maybe he saw them somewhere in my things. I
heard Skipes so they took other news and they kept
315 | P a g e
laughing.
Kat thinks I'm pregnant no it can't be I'm not pregnant
I'm fine because last week I saw my on my period but it
was not heavy so that's mean I'm not pregnant.
When we got home we found it was dark so that's
mean they went to sleep. We got in went to
our bedroom I took off my clothes I found him in the
shower so used the other shower tap to take bath.
We were quite during the shower.
I wore a robe made my way to the kitchen to make
something to eat I made a big sandwich and went back
to our bedroom and he started again.
Samkelo: “Eating in the middle of the night again”
Not this nonsense again.
Me: “You're are talking about this again” I sat up.
He got up from bed and went to the closet and he
came wearing grey Nike tracksuits and navy slippers.
Me: “Where are you going in the middle of the night?”
I asked in between of chewing.
Samkelo: “To pharmacy”
Me: “Are you sick?”
Samkelo: “None of your business” him took his wallet
and went out.
He stormed out of the room I didn't pay attention to it.
I fell asleep after eating my delicious sandwich.
When I woke up at 02:04am he was not in bed so I
thought he came back and slept in one of
the guestrooms or with his younger brother.
316 | P a g e
I fell asleep again. I heard a knock in my sleep and I
heard someone shaking me.
Thando: “Wake up Nompe”
Me: “What is it” I yawned.
Thando: “Big brother is in the lounge he needs you
now!”
I wore a robe and quickly went there I found Kat and
Spikes there. Kat was pacing up and down.
Me: “What's is going on?”
Kat: “Samkelo is hur....” his hands were on top of his
head.
Me: “Speak!” I'm nervous now.
He eyes are teary. My heart is beating fast now.
Me: “Spea....” I didn't finish the sentence.
Kat: “Samkelo was involved in car accident” his tears
was dripping in his cheeks.
Me: “No! No! No!” I said in a trembling voice.
Kat: “He's alive but his condition is critical”
It was the first time I saw him crying. I felt as if my
world is crumbling down. Why God can do this to me?
Why him I love him so much. I know I did bad things in
my life but he can't take him away from me.
Me: “He stormed out saying he is going to the
Pharmacy. It's my fault he was angry I wasn't
supposed to go out at that time” crying.
I couldn't believe it. I pushed him over the edge.
Spikes: “Don't blame yourself” he tried to hug me.
I was sitting on the floor crying I need him to like I can't
317 | P a g e
lose him I love him so much.
Kat: “We need to go to hospital for you to see him. I
went there early after receiving the call
from paramedics in the place of accident luckily my
number was in his speed dial”
I heard him speaking he was speaking in riddles. I went
to changed we were all crying in room Samkelo was
fine few hours ago but now he is hospital fighting for
his life.
When we got to the hospital Nurses told us that it’s not
visiting hours Kat reacted badly he just took out his gun
and pointed it to the nurse Spikes went to them and
they allowed to go to his ward.
His was lying in bed with so many beeping machines.
He has bruises in his face. The doctor came in after few
minutes.
Spikes: “How does he doctor?”
Doc: “We need to operate him”
I cried out loud again. What are they waiting for?
Doc: “We are waiting swelling to calm down”
Kat: “We need solutions from you not that nonsense.
You're doctor right? So make his swelling to calm down
and do your damn job or else I'll lose it”
Thando and the big four is here so we can't speak or
think out of the box. The doctor told us try not to cry in
his ward because he doesn’t need negative
atmosphere. He is a coma I can't think right now.
Me: “Can I please talk to him in private?” tears were
318 | P a g e
coming uncontrollable.
Kat: “Yeah sure” they all went out of the ward.
Me: “My love I'm sorry for upsetting you I wish I could
turn back the watch I wasn't my intentions to upset
you. I love you so much please wake up my love I need
you” I can’t stop crying.
I put my hand over his hand. His face is swollen. They
came back after some minutes.
Kat: “You can go I'll sleep here and no one can tell me
not to” I wiped tears in my cheeks.
Kat: “Okay you can but I'll come back after some few
hours”
His ward was on tight security and those guys were our
boys in our gang so he is protected no one can enter in
this room.
“Morning Nompe”
I woke up fast thinking it him... It’s Kat
I think I fell asleep after singing our song for him. The
doctor told us to talk to him even though he'll not
respond but we must.
Me: “Morning” in a disappointed tone.
Kat: “I bought coffee” he gave me a cup of coffee.
I drank it but I didn't finish it I ran to the bathroom I
was vomiting. I think it’s because I didn't eat anything. I
went back to his ward.
Kat: “Are you okay?”

319 | P a g e
Chapter 22

Me: “I'm okay”

Kat: “My parents are on their way here”
Me: “Okay” I started to cry again.
Kat: “He is so strong he'll recover”
I don't think so and this beeping machine is worrying
me. After some 10 minutes his parents came in.
His mother's eyes were red and swollen like mine so I
assumed she cried all the way to here.
MaNdlovu: “Please get out I want to talk with my
family” She was saying to me because she was looking
at me.
I went out for half an hour after I went in.
MaNdlovu: “I don't need you here you little girl my
child is here because of you!”
Kat: “Mom there's....”Kat didn't finish his sentence.
MaNdlovu: “Khethokuhle shut up!” she is yelling now.
Me: “It’s okay Kat I'll go out” I went to take my phone
to the couch in the corner.
When I was about to open the door.
MaNdlovu: “I'll tell the security not to let her in here”
Mntungwa: “MaNdlovu there's no need for that”
I started to cry again. I went to sit on the chair in the
hospital corridors. I cried myself to sleep.
“Wake up” I felt someone shaking.
Me: “Thabi! I'm glad you came” I hugged her and my
voice was trembling. I cried on her shoulder and she
320 | P a g e
managed to calm me down. I'm feeling hungry.
Thabi: “We going to your house now and it's
unnegotiable”
I won't fight her I need cold water and food I'm hungry.
When we got home I found them in tv room.
MaNdlovu: “Listen here girlie I need you out of my
son's house as in yesterday”
I knew that she doesn’t like me but in this difficult
situation she wants to torture me. I nodded and went
to his bedroom and packed all my clothes. I took his
favourite dusty pink formal shirt and Thabi came in to
help me to take my luggage.
Kat: “And?” he saw my luggage and I was in tv room to
leave his house keys.
Louis Vuitton luggage he bought me when he was
overseas for business meeting.
MaNdlovu: “I told her to leave this house I don't need
her here”
Kat: “But mom there was no need for that”
Lwandile: “Please don't leave Sis’Nompe”
Thando: “Please go” She is siding with her mother of
course.
Me: “I’m going to my apartment. I'm doing this for
Samkelo he doesn’t need us to fight but he needs us to
be strong support and be there for him” I wiped tears
with the back of my hand.
I took my luggage Thabi took my other bag and went to
my car and went off. When we got there she cleaned
321 | P a g e
there and while I was taking a shower and she made
something to eat. I ate but it’s strange that I have an
appetite while I'm so stressed. Miracles!
Thabi: “Take this and go to the bathroom” she threw a
brown pharmacy paper to me.
Me: “And?” I said checking what is inside the brown
paper.
Me: “Are you crazy?”
Thabi: “No I'm not. I was suspecting but when I went to
the hospital I overhead Andile and Kat talking about
you Kat saying suspecting you that you're pregnant and
he also said you drank coffee in the morning you didn't
finished it you went running in the bathroom to vomit”
This annoys me but come to think I'm behaving strange
but women are unpredictable.
Me: “I'll take this silly and crazy test of yours I know I'm
not pregnant but I'm doing it to prove it to you that
you're are all wrong”
I went to the bathroom.
Thabi: “Use the both of them!” She is in my bedroom.
Me: “Get lost” I heard her laughing.
I was not pacing up and down because I know I'm not
pregnant. After 15 minute I took the first test....
Two lines!
The second one...
I hit the mirror with my right fist.
Thabi: “Open up! Open!”
This can't be happening to me. What if he dies and his
322 | P a g e
child will not see him? I kicked the glass in the shower.
Thabi: “Please open up!”
I was crying think of the worst.
At last I opened the door and she went to take the test
that was on the floor. She came to hug me and I let out
a sob.
Thabi: “Don't worry friend I'm here for you”
I don't believe what is happening in my life right now.
I'm boyfriend or the father of my unborn child is in the
hospital fighting for his life and I found that I'm
pregnant with his baby. It makes sense now this
Chelsea bun and banana cravings and always fighting
with him.
She took me out of the bathroom and she cleaned the
mess and her man called and she went to the kitchen I
think she needs privacy. She left her child with the
nanny to care of me.
She came back and found me looking at it again.
Me: “I was the one who saw you that you were
pregnant but I couldn't see myself” I shook my head.
She laughed.
Thabi: “I'll take you to the doctor this afternoon”
Me: “Okay” I don't need another one but I'll go just for
her. I know I'm pregnant now.
The graduation is next week Wednesday and the
situation here is not cool but they're forced to attend.
We went back to the hospital and they didn’t allow me
to enter in his ward. I know that, but they got an order
323 | P a g e
from that old hag called MaNdlovu. I hate her!
Me: “Kat please I need to see you brother now I have
some important thing to say to him” my eyes were
teary.
Kat: “I'll fetch you when I sorted everything” he went in
his ward.
After half an hour he came back to fetch me. When I
entered in the ward.
MaNdlovu: “Make it fast!”
Me: “Babe I miss you and I need you more than ever.
You promised me that you'll never leave me please
come back to me. I wanted to tell you I'm pregnant so
please wake up for your child to hold him or her be
there when he starts to speak starting to walk and take
him or her to school. Please
baby I'm begging you please!"-I say picking his hand up
to my lower stomach and I was crying.
The beeping machine was beeping fast...
Me: “Nurse! Nurse!” I screamed
The nurse and the doctor came rushing in and they
escorted me out in the ward.
MaNdlovu: “I shouldn't let her in my son's ward”
There's some guy came running towards us.
Him: “What happened?” I don't know him.
We were all crying no one played attention to him.
When she went towards his ward...
Thando: “Mthoko” she rushed to him.
I don't know him and I don't care who the fuck he is.
324 | P a g e
One of the securities told him not to enter. Kat came in
and rushed to the door and the noise that happened
there became quiet.
Kat and that unknown man went to his ward. After 30
minutes the doctors came to us.
Doc: “We have the good news”
Silence.
Mntungwa: “Speak!”
Doc: “Samkelo has woke up”
I closed my eyes to pray. I was raised by Christians. I'm
happy that he woke up.
Him: “But the swelling hasn't gone down but let's
thank that he woke up” the unknown man.
Doc: “This is rare situation. It will be easy to calm down
the swelling when he is awake”
This two day was hell but I'm happy that he awakes.
The doctor said his ribs and right arm are broken.
Luckily his head wasn't hurt. The doctor went to attend
another patient. Samkelo don't share his ward with
anyone.
Him: “Let's pray that he is fine and out of danger. Let's
go to his ward"-unknown man said.
When I was about to enter he closed the door. I started
to cry.
Thabi: “Please don't cry friend”
We went to sit on chairs in the corridors. After almost
an hour they all came out.
Kat: “Please come with me” he touched my shoulder. I
325 | P a g e
was sitting with my head between my thighs.
I got up from chair and followed him. When I entered
the room my eyes were filled with tears to see him
drinking water with the help of unknown man.
I went to the left side of the bed the same side I went
to when I told him the news.
Me: “Babe!” I tried to smile while crying.
Samkelo: “Don’t….cry” he was struggling to speak
properly.
He tried to lift his hand but he couldn't because of
pains.
Him: “He told us that you're the one who made him to
wake up” Unknown man.
I was confused.
Kat: “Sorry I forgot to introduce him. Mthoko this is
Nompe Samkelo's girlfriend. Nompe this is
Mthoko our brother who comes after Samkelo. He is a
doctor”
Now I see the resemblance between them but he looks
like Kat it just that he is little bit darker than
Kat.
Mthoko: “Nice to meet you”
Me: “Nice to meet you too”
Samkelo: “Come….here”
I smile and leaned to him but I was careful not to hurt
him.
Samkelo: “Give me a...ki.ss” I leaned over to kiss him.
Samkelo: “Plea...se allow her to sta..y”
326 | P a g e
Mthoko: “Okay I'll tell them to tell her stay here” he
went out.
I heard that he doesn’t take nonsense especially to
their mother. Samkelo and Kat are soft when it comes
to their mother.
His doctor will keep him here until he is ready to go
home.

Insert 29

I went to the gynaecologist and he told me that I'm

two months and one week pregnant. I was happy and
sad on the same time.
I haven't told him that I'm pregnant since his doctor
told us not to stress him out. I'm still living in my
apartment alone. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep
thinking of that I'm supposed to be with
him celebrating that I'm pregnant.
What to celebrate vele? Having a child out of wedlock
is a bad thing but at least I'm financial stable so it must
not worry them too much.
I'm a deep sleeper now thanks to the little person
inside me.
Nxaa this damn phone.
Me: “Hello”
327 | P a g e
Samkelo: “You're still sleeping. Please come to the
hospital to fetch me” Wow I'm happy that he
us discharged in the hospital.
A month and one week took forever since he was in
the hospital for a long time.
Kat told him that he will be discharged when the
doctor says so if not he'll not come home. I woke up
went to the shower and I took a quick shower and hit
the road.
Me: “I'm here for Samkelo Khumalo” I said to the
receptionist.
Receptionist: “You can go through ma'am”
I went upstairs to his ward and I’m wearing tracksuits.
Samkelo: “Here she comes my beautiful Queen” I
blushed.
Samkelo: “My kiss please” He is speaking properly
now.
We shared a kiss. I'm scared to just touch him I'm
scared of hurting him.
Samkelo: “You're glowing or I haven't seen you in a
day”
Tomorrow I was swamped with work since lot of time I
was working home but he told me to get back to work.
Samkelo: “Let's go baby” He has an along on his right
arm.
I was carrying his bag. When we got my car I opened
him a door for him and he gave a weird stare.
Samkelo: “Here is my Cologne” he took it.
328 | P a g e
Fuck I forgot to put it in my bag. I just laughed.
I drove off to his house when we got there his parents
were home.
MaNdlovu: “My child!”
I faked a smile.
He went to sit to the living room and I went to put his
bag to his bedroom. When I opened the door
I just remembered the good old times we had in this
room but I must get going.
When I entered in living room they were laughing
because he was cracking silly jokes. I sat next to him.
Samkelo: “Thanks you save me from death” him put his
hand over mine.
I looked at him.
Samkelo: “It was like you were crying begging me not
to leave you and I turned my back on you and I was
going away. At few steps I took that was something
that attached between us. That cord pulled me with
forced and I fell. When I opened my eyes doctor was
taking checking me”
Silence.
Eish that cord I think it’s my baby.
Me: “I need to get going"
Samkelo: “Where are you going? Please spent the rest
of your day with me. I’ll talk to Andile don’t worry”
His mother gave me a pleading look. He doesn’t know
that I'm not living here anymore.
Me: “Okay I will” I put an extra cushion for him.
329 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Babe I'm okay. Please cook my favourite
dish” he smiled. That's smile i missed so much.
Me: “I'm going to make a shopping for the dinner”
Samkelo: “Take my iPad to order it they will deliver it”
I missed the stubborn Samkelo.
I order the grocery I needed as he said after an hour it
was delivered in our house. I started to prepare to a
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Mushroom Chicken with
boiled vegetables and it will go well with red wine but
he will have juice.
He called me on his way to our bedroom and I went to
him.
Samkelo: “I want to look at you I miss you” him pulled
me closer to him.
Really?
Me: “Babe I'm busy cooking in the kitchen”
Our lips met and we shared along passionate kiss.
Samkelo: “Ngiyakuthanda yezwa” he kissed my
forehead.
I smiled. When I was about to walk away he spanked
me.
My love is healthy now I'm sure!
I went out the bedroom made my way to the kitchen. I
found Mntungwa standing in the kitchen I didn't know
on what to do because I'm scared of him.
Mntungwa: “Come in my child I need to have a word
with you”
I don’t know if I must speak or I must sit shut up but I
330 | P a g e
went to the stove and I bowed my head for showing
respect.
Mntungwa: “My child I need to discuss something
important with you. I know that you're pregnant
Khethokuhle told me and we need to...” he didn't finish
his sentence we heard Samkelo shouting from down
the passage coming towards in the living room and he
will pass the kitchen first.
Samkelo: “Nompendulo! Nompendulo! Where are
you?”
He saw me in the kitchen and he came in.
Samkelo: “Where are your clothes? Were you trying to
leave me when I was in the hospital? Huh?” he is
shouting.
They were all here in the kitchen.
Me: “No I didn't try to leave....” I was trying to explain.
Samkelo: “You took all of your clothes when I was
fighting for my life in hospital. You thought I will
die right?” his voice is trembling now.
Me: “Please calm down"
Samkelo: “Don't tell me to calm down!” he is pacing up
and down.
He came towards me.
Samkelo: “Please leave my house now!”
I took off the apron and I lowered the stove. When I
took two steps.
MaNdlovu: “Samkelo my baby there's no need for
that”
331 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Mom! Please don't start not now!” he is
shouting.
My eyes were teary this can't happen to me his mother
is the one who kicked me out but now he is the one
who is kicking me out.
Mntungwa: “Samkelo let sit down and talk!”
Samkelo: “Mntungwa no...”
Mntungwa: “I won’t repeat myself boy! Let us sit down
and talk”
We all went to the living room to sit down.
Mntungwa: “MaNdlovu start to explain what happened
when Samkelo was in hospital”
The room went quiet.
Mntungwa: “Speak!” he is shouting.
Wish I can disappear to this moment!
MaNdlovu: “Samkelo my child I'm so sorry about what
happened I'm the one who kicked her out”
The room went quite again and his face changed in an
instance.
Samkelo: “You did what? I can't believe you” He
clapped his hands.
Samkelo: “You kicked her out in my house! You were
busy kicking her out while I was fighting for my life. I
knew you didn't like her but I didn't know you will do
this to her”
Silence
Samkelo: “I can't even look...”
Mntungwa: “Shut up!”
332 | P a g e
Samkelo: “But dad I'm...”
Mntungwa: “You won't back chat me I'll slap you boy!”
After that I went to the kitchen to switch off the stove.
He came to me to the kitchen.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry babe I didn't know that it was her”
Me: “It’s okay”
I can't stand the smell of the garlic so I was forced to
cook it for him. I won't eat this food or else I will vomit
all the food I ate.
Samkelo: “Am I disgusting you?”
He needs to know I can't deal with this kind of
questions from him. After having supper and did put
the dirty dishes in the dishwasher I can't stand on my
feet and wash the dishes after.
When I said my goodbyes Samkelo came to the living
room carrying his overnight bag.
Thando: “And?”
Samkelo: “I'm older than you so say that nonsense to
me again”
She was disappointed. It serves her right. He stood
next to me with his bag.
Samkelo: “I'll see you tomorrow” he indicated with his
head so I can open the door.
We went to the car and drove off. Mthokozisi bid
goodbyes and he said he is flying back to Spain in the
morning. It's true what I heard about him only comes
in difficult situations or ritual at his father's house in
Weenen Ezitendeni. I can't exactly say what kind of a
333 | P a g e
person he is because he was here for one day because
he hates that his two brothers are gangster that's why
he doesn’t spend so me much time with them.
It will be hard to hide this from him because he is so
observant. If he asks I'll tell him he has a right to know
and if I hide this from him he'll be mad at me.
I went to my bedroom to put extra cushions to the bed
to support his arm and his ribs.
Samkelo: “Babe don't do that I'm fine” I know he hates
it but I must.
Me: “You know that I won't stop”
He laughed and looked at me closely while I was busy
fixing cushions around him and he kissed me.
I’m feeling hungry but I'll wait for him to sleep then eat
after that.
I went to bathroom I took off clothes inside the
bathroom took a bath I came from bathroom to
my bedroom wearing a robe.
Samkelo: “Babe you're glowing” him is playing with his
little beard in his chin. I like it when he does it.
I just laughed.
Samkelo: “Can we sleep naked tonight”
We discussed it that we'll stop to have sex until his arm
has full recovered but I don't know what I will do that
because he is damn hot in that sling but I must control
myself.
I took of my robe and quickly get in bed without him
noticing.
334 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I missed your soft skin” he is breathing in my
ear.
Oh my word! Nompe please come back on planet
earth! His hand was all over my body. Mhm I missed it
and him.
Samkelo: “Please turn to look at me” I turned to look at
him. Eye contact as if he sees through my soul.
Samkelo: “Your eyes” he kissed my lips and I kissed him
back. His left hand is in my tummy...
I quickly got up and went to the bathroom I'm shocked
that he touched my tummy. When I came back to the
bed he was looking at me.
Samkelo: “You're need a gym now babe you're getting
fat now”
I went back to bed and I didn't respond to that silly
joke of his. I felt his hand touching my ass.
I felt a hand separating my legs wide.
Samkelo: “Please look at me” him saying in a little bit
deep voice.
When I turned our lips met and I just missed him
sweating on top of me.
His finger was inside me breathing changed and in no
minute he was inside me moving so gently he is
moaning in my ear. I hope he won't hurt his arm.
Samkelo: “Ooohh....... shit......” he started to move a bit
fast.
Our moaning was getting loud as he pumps fast and
faster....... We climaxed same time.
335 | P a g e
He got off from me we were laying there trying to
catch our breath. After catching our breaths he took
me to his chest and I laid there peaceful.
Samkelo: “Babe you're so hot here” him touched me
down there.
Me: “What do you mean by that?” I'm getting angry.
Samkelo: “I didn't mean to say it in a bad way” he
brushed my shoulder.
He must not beat around the bush he must tell me
straight in my face.
Me: “Whatever!” I got up made my way to the
bathroom and I'm angry I’m fuming.
He sat up and look at me.
Nxaa Ioo know I'm craving for ice cream peanuts
chicken and the other I can't remember but I can taste
them in my tongue. I decided to put a dress on and
heels and when I came back he gave a weird stare...
Samkelo: “And then?” he was amazed.
Me: “I'm going to garage just to get few things and I'm
going alone!” I'm shouting.
He let out a big sigh.
Samkelo: “With heels?”
Holy ghost please intervenes to this sick man. I kept
quiet and I took my bag and key.
Samkelo: “At this night?”
I went to the door and went straight to my car and
drove off. Who is he? My father now? He must fuck off
maan!
336 | P a g e
When I got to the garage I knew I will but the half of
the stock and thanks to my baby inside me. I got inside
I started with two tubs of ice cream 4 packs of Doritos
different flavours 8 Simba peanuts 6 chocolate slaps
different flavours 4 Kit-Kat 3 packs of jelly tots and I
went to the till and the lady there was looking at me
like I'm crazy... Nxaaa argaah she must not test me. I
greeted her paid for my things and gave her a tip and
went off.
I went to MacDonald 24-hour and I ordered after
collecting my order I drove to my place. When I
got there it was quiet. I put my plastics over the
counter and I went to change when I was about to
enter in my room.... I heard a crying voice from the
bedroom...
It was a soft crying voice and it was lower but its crying
so hard....
When I entered I found him in his side of the bed
sitting down his head between his thighs and he was
crying. Why he is crying?
Me: “Babe” I touched his shoulder. He is crying little bit
louder now...
Me: “Babe what happened?” I'm confused what the
hell is going on?
He is still crying.
Me: “Are you okay?” I asked him again.
He stood up and made me to stand up and he hugged
me so tight.
337 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry babe I didn't know. I was
supposed to support you in the hard time you
went through” him crying out loud.
It's the first time I was him crying and I don't like to see
him crying it so heart breaking.
Samkelo: “We'll go through it together” he wiped his
tears.
He looked at me with red eyes.
He took the picture from the floor and he gave it to
me...
Fuck!
It's the picture the gynaecologist gave me the first time
I went there. I saw my little Mbulazi inside my womb
right there I knew that I love my baby.
Samkelo: “I know babe we'll do the counselling
together I promise I'll do anything to fix us and
our relationship” him voice is trembling.
What is he talking about? Counselling?
Me: “What are you talking about?” I'm really confused
now because I went out to get my cravings and now he
is talking about counselling.
Samkelo: “I know you lost the baby that why you
always moody” his eyes are teary.
What? He saw that picture and he assumed the worst.
Me: “We need to sit down and talk” I sat on the and
tapped next to me for him to sit.
He sat down and I must explain everything to me I
must know that from I'll be officially single and it’s the
338 | P a g e
baby that will make us communicate.
Me: “I know you'll hate me after telling you this but I
did it because I love you and cared for your healthy” I
played with my fingers.
Samkelo: “Mhm okay” he looked at me in the eyes.
I sigh.
Me: “Before you had accident I was...”
Samkelo: “Get to the point” his face is hard.
Me: “I'm two months pregnant”
Silence.
Samkelo: “When did that happened?”
Jesus! I'm officially single as I said.
Me: “Remember the time I found that bitch of yours in
Durban when you came here to beg me it happened”
He rubbed his head.
Samkelo: “You didn't tell me because?”
Me: “I found out when you were in the hospital so I...”
At least I'm not crying.
Samkelo: “Mhm okay...” he kept quiet.
I don't know whether cry or be happy or eat.
Samkelo: “Wait the baby is the reason I'm alive?” him
quickly looked at me because his face was looking at
his feet.
Me: “I think so” tears fell. I went to the bathroom and I
locked myself in there and I cried. I'm supposed to be
happy but I'm crying...
Samkelo: “Babe please open up” he said calmly.
I know it hard for him but I was hard for me too I just
339 | P a g e
wish he understand this. I wiped my tears and I went to
open the door he came towards me and he hugged me
tight.
Samkelo: “Please don't cry” he calmed me down.
I calmed down he wiped my tears and made our way to
bed.
Me: “It was the hardest thing I have faced in my life
crying for you when you were in the hospital and when
I find out that I was pregnant I cried because I was
scared to lose you while your baby is growing inside
me” I cried again.
The emotions came flooding and I was crying hard now
thinking about I went through.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm here now and I'm here to stay and
to raise our daughter together” I'm still in his chest.
Me: “Who said it is a daughter” I quickly look at him a
smile.
Samkelo: “I want the princess babe” he brushed my
tummy.
Maybe at three months I'll be showing by then.
Samkelo: “If it's the boy I will name him Samkelo Junior
if it's a girl I will name her Elamantungwa” his sais with
a big smile on his face and I could see that he was
thinking.
Me: “Elamantungwa?”
Samkelo: “Yeah babe I'll want her name to have our
clan name because when she is older she'll take
another surname”
340 | P a g e
Mxm I'm tired of being hugged now I want food.
Me: “I will be back now” I went out of the bedroom.
I went to take one of the four plastics. When I got back
to our room he was pacing up and down.
Me: “And now?”
Samkelo: “Your parents babe I'm scared of your
parents”
I will deal with that when I'm really showing. I went out
from bedroom to the kitchen I took my plastic with
chocolate I made back to the bedroom and I found him
sitting on the edge of the bed.
I put my plastic on the bed threw myself in bed.
Samkelo: “And?” he looked at me like I've gone crazy.
Really?
Me: “Please don't start it with me” I took a big bite of
chocolate in my mouth.
He kept quiet and looked at me. After some time he
busted out laughing out loud.
Samkelo: “From stealing my Cologne eating in the
bedroom always picking fights with me on
useless thing glowing and going to the garage on heels
just to buy sweet it’s because you're pregnant” he
laughed out hard.
I gave him a stare and he continued to laugh until I was
crying...
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry but you are doing weird
things” he tried to calm me down but I was
really crying while eating my chocolate.
341 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I love you” he kissed my forehead.
He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead. He tried to
touch me and I said I'm tired and I need to sleep. He
can't get enough of it.
We cuddle all the rest of the hours left he was brushing
my pump and we fell asleep in each other's arm. When
I woke up he was not in bed and I quickly went to the
bathroom to vomit.
Fuck the morning sickness I just hate it with all my
heart. I brushed my teeth and when I came back from
the bathroom I found him talking to the phone...
Samkelo: “A'chuz”
I couldn't hear who he was talking to but I knew that
it’s a gangster.
Samkelo: “I need you to her fire mjita” he said in a
lower voice.
Who is he talking to?
Samkelo: “Dankie ntwana” he hung up.
He was shocked to see me standing behind. I just knew
that it was some about me but I didn't understand.
Samkelo: “Your breakfast is about to be ready”
After eating breakfast I received a call from Andile.
Andile: “Nomps you're are in a good space?” No good
morning and how are you in the morning.
Me: “Yes”
Andile: “You can’t work for me anymore” What the
fuck?
Me: “On what grounds!?” I snapped.
342 | P a g e
Andile: “Look I was asked by your man to fire you in my
company so I did what I was asked to do”
Me: “You know what. Fuck you all” I hung up.
He will know me today.
Me: “Nxaa yewena njandini who gave you the
permission to call my boss and ask him to fire me
when
I didn't do anything wrong!” I snapped.
His faced changed from cool to being very angry. He
grabbed me with my upper arm and lifted his left hand
up...
Me: “I dare you” He quickly put down his left hand
Samkelo: “Don't you fucken talk to me like that again
or...” he looked at me like ready to kill me.
Me: “Or what?”
I quickly took my gun under my pillow and in a minute
we were pointing at each other with full loaded gun.
Samkelo: “I'll shoot you!”
Me: “Like I can spare you. I'll kill you cheating ass chop
you and feed dogs like you” I’m still pointing a gun at
him.
We look at each other's eyes and we both put down
the guns and sat in bed.
Samkelo: “Come here” he pulled me to him.
I shook my head and he pulled me to him anyway. He
smashed his lips on mine and we shared a
long passionate kiss and few minutes later I was
screaming his name because he was fucking me so
343 | P a g e
great and I missed it. After having our first real
breakfast we went and took shower and went to the
kitchen and ate the food he ordered.
Since I'm fired I gave to find something to do on my
own time...
Samkelo: “I'll cut you off from the Gang till you give
birth and I'll make sure you have army to protect the
both of you”
I must keep my cool or I'll go crazy. I hate being
controlled I do as I pleases.
Me: “Forget it! First I'm not your wife do you won't tell
me what to door not what to do” I said out of anger.
Who the hell died and made him my father?
His phone beeped.
"My parents invited us to the dinner in my house at
19:30pm"-he says.
I just hate to go to that house to see that witch called
MaNdlovu but I don't have a choice because he will
drag me there himself.
At 19:00 I was already dressed in a long black chiffon
skirt and pitch shirt and blue heels. I have a short hair
since I cut my dreadlocks and I put my dark plum
lipstick. And he was wearing a black guess torn jean
with white T-shirt with white all-star chuckle tail. I just
fall in love with him in every second I'm with him.
Samkelo: “I'm ready to go!”
I came out of the bedroom looking beautiful and he
just stood there and looked at me coming
344 | P a g e
towards him.
Samkelo: “You're so beautiful my love” he pulled me in
to for a kiss.
Me: “You will ruin my lipstick” I tried to get off his grip.
Samkelo: “I don't care about your lipstick just kiss me”
he kissed me.
Samkelo and I missed the celebration of the Big Four's
graduation in Durban because he was still in hospital
his doctor denied him to travel so it was just the two of
us in the hospital. Big four went to
Zanzibar to celebrate it was on their brothers.
When we arrived there we found them in the lounge
and Kat was there and he came to us and told us about
the emergency meeting tonight at 22:00. Samkelo's
face changed but he didn't say anything about it mxm
I'll be there.
When we gathered at the dining table and started to
eat after the dinner we went to the living room and
Mntungwa cleared his throat loudly the room went
quite...
Mntungwa: “I would love to say something”
The room is still quiet.
Mntungwa: “Samkelo and Nompendulo I'm happy for
the grandchild but I'm also not happy for having a child
out of wedlock” he said rubbing his beard.
I was looking down to my toe...
Lwandile: “But dad you didn't congratulate me”
Is he for really?
345 | P a g e
Mntungwa: “Voetsek wenanja you want me to
congratulate you when I will be the one who will
take care of your child”
When I was asking myself Kat was beating the crap out
of him. Samkelo was in stitches.
Me: “Really Samkelo?” I gave him a stare and went to
them I touched his shoulder and he got off from him.
Kat: “Ever try to speak to dad in that way I will kill you
boy”
Lwandile went out because he was bleeding on his
mouth. His child will be born any day from now but he
is still behaving like a child. His father and Uncles went
to Commissioner's house to talk about damages what I
heard is that he was stubborn at first but he calms
down and their paid the damages.
I went to out the dishes on the washing machine as
usual after that we went to my place. When we got in
he wanted sex but I was feeling nauseous and he
backed down.
I went to the bedroom just to take a nap. I woke up
when I heard a hand touching my face its him his scent
his touch and his presence.
Samkelo: “Wake up we need to get dressed”
I wanted to fuck him but the time was not on my side
but when we come back I'll fuck him till the sun comes
out. I went to the bathroom to freshen up and came
back wearing our signature clothes.
He threw a bulletproof vest
346 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Please put this on for me” he gave it to me.
Really?
Me: “What am I supposed to do with this?” I looked at
him. He is sitting on the edge of the bed tiring laces on
his boot.
Samkelo: “Put in on babe” he got up and finds me
looking at him.
Me: “I'm not wearing it” I throwed it on the bed.
Samkelo: “Nompendulo don't fuck up with me there's
my child inside you so I need you to put that fucken
thing!” he is shouting.

Chapter 23

Samkelo took a chair and it landed on Spider's ribs he

fell and Spider took my vase and he threw it on
Samkelo's back and he fell.
Me: “This is childish nje”
They we both bleeding cursing and swearing at each
other. They both woke leaning over the wall they
started again and I went to make something to eat for
myself mind you I'm eating for two so after
some time Spider went to take his gun and they corked
them and pointed to each other.
Kat quickly went to them...
347 | P a g e
Kat: “Nxaaai Voetsek Voetsek” he pointed his gun at
their guns.
He slapped SK and slapped Spider.
Kat: “You can fight all you want but you won't kill each
other your brothers”
SK & Spider: “Ouch!”
We laughed at them. We went to the tv room so sit.
Kat: “Nompe please don't mind these two morons.
They started fighting in their res back in varsity
they were both kicked out of varsity. Spider came to
live us at Umhlanga in with our parents’ house
they stole my Father's Ferrari and he bet the shit out of
them and they also fought inn my parents’
house and my father kicked them out so please mind
them” he shook his head looking at them.
Samkelo: “You hurt my back wena shlama” he brushed
Spider's head. This is psychotic really.
Spider: "Nxaa arggh my ribs hurt wenanja"-he said
pinching him on the arm.
They both laughed holding their stomachs I thinks it
hurts.
Me: “I can't really believe both of you” I shook my
head.
Two grown up men fighting because Samkelo didn't
respond to his call. Samkelo was supposed to handle
the shipment in Durban so Spider went there to handle
everything so that's why they are fighting. Nxaa that's
silly for grown up men.
348 | P a g e
They bid goodbyes after eating breakfast I made and
Samkelo went to take a shower and he wore
his tracksuits and got on bed and I gave him painkillers
I watched him falling asleep I just fall in love with him
in every minute we spend together.
My phone rang....
Mom: “Nompendulo if you know what's good for you
tomorrow I want you here” she is angry when she says
that.
Me: “Hey mommyI...”
Mom: “Don't mommy me. You thought I'll never find
out that you're pregnant” She is fuming its
better because I'm far from her or else she would've
slapped me by now.
I didn't know what to say.
Me: “Mom I'm sorry it was a mistake” in a lower my
voice.
Mom: “Sleeping with a man without a protection is a
mistake? Don't make me a fool. Be here tomorrow and
I won't repeat myself” she hung up.
I cried after that I went to take my bag and my car
keys; I need some fresh air I found him sleeping so
peaceful so I didn't wake him up.
I got to my car and drove off and I found myself in Blue
Route Mall. I went in I saw a beautiful tight dress in
some boutique I went in took a dress and fitted but I
was too tight because of my tummy. I took another
one I fitted it and it fitted so perfectly I need to
349 | P a g e
pay.......
“Dare scream I'll shoot that little dog in your stomach”
I heard a voice of a man and felt a gun in my tummy.
I need to calm down and not cause a scene for the sake
of my baby. I need to plan.
Guy1: “Pretend as if we know each other dare cause a
scene”
I took my handbag and we got in a black car and all the
men here in this car I don't know any one of them. The
car drove off.
Guy2: “Give me your phone” He is in front seat I think
he is the boss here.
I was quite and I was thinking of the plan to get out but
the problem is I'm pregnant I won't be able to get off
out of this car.
Guy2: “I said give me the phone bitch”
I just laughed out loud.
Me: “Nxaa don't fucken tell me that wena”
I’m worried about my baby and Samkelo because I
didn't tell him before going out he'll go crazy when he
wakes up. We got to some place it's their safe place I
think.
Me: “What the hell do you want from me?” I snapped.
They all laughed.
Guy1: “Your man lost the case of my younger brother
intentionally” he is angry.
Me: “How's that my problem?”
Guy1: “Tie this bitch up because she talks too much”
350 | P a g e
he gave an instruction to some boys. They tied me up.
Me: “I need water” I'm thirsty.
Luckily I'm not crying I think I'm overwhelmed.
Guy1: “We'll call that snob of yours to make things
happen I need my brother out” he looked at me.
The other one gave me water with and I was drinking
with a straw because I'm tired up.
Guy2: “Boss we need to inject this bitch”
Guy1: “No don't this I need this bitch alive and that
little snob alive to get what I want from that
stupid snob” He is the boss as I assumed.
They went out I can't even go around to look where I
can escape. I think I fell asleep because I heard a hand
touching me.
Me: “Nxaa get those filthy hands off me” I snapped.
They all laughed out.
Guy1: “How far are you?” he is sitting in front of me.
Me: “Do you know who I am?” He just laughed I just
looked at him.
Guy1: “I know you and that snob of your foolish man”
Me: “You call my man a snob?” I laughed till my tears
came.
Me: “So let me tell you about me. I'm Nompendulo
Mazibuko I'm the last woman you want to mess up
with”
Guy1: “I don't care about that and you don't scare me”
Me: “If I was you I would be scared. I'm sweating I
need to take my jacket out”
351 | P a g e
Guy1: “Nxaa what I you are waiting for you morons” he
said to the boys behind him.
He untied me and he held my hands and the other one
took of my jacket and I'm wearing a G-string like
vest....
Guy3: “Boss!” he screamed at his boss.
Guy1: “Tie her up!”their boss shouted to them.
Guy3: “Boss please check her tattoo she is
danger....”he tried to explain.
The boss went behind me and he checked my tattoo...
Guy1: “Fuck!” he started to swear pacing up and down.
I just laughed out loud.
Me: “Yeah the tattoo... yes I'm one of them...... Boom!”
I laughed so hard.
Guy1: “Shut the hell up” he said roughly scratched his
head.
Me: “The one that you call snob is a real hardcore G-A-
N-G-S-T-E-R!”
They were confused by what I said.
Me: “Yes he is a hardcore gangster and he kill you all
when he finds out that I was kidnapped by you.
Amateurs”
He slapped me.
Me: “You just signed your death warrant” I spat on
him.
They were planning all the night I think I fell asleep I
heard a hand shaking me. Nxaa this pig.
Guy1: “Drink here!” he gave me water.
352 | P a g e
I drank it because I was so thirsty. I need my man to
rescue me here I'm tired and hungry I want to sleep.
The boss was not here all morning this so this fools
here were guarding me and they had guns with them
so I must keep my cool.
It's the second day I'm here and I'm tired being four
months pregnant is tiring its worse when you're tired
up.
In the midday I heard the voices coming towards the
room I was in it was this moron.
Guy1: “Queen Elizabeth is awake now” they all cracked
out laughing.
Me: “Fuck you!” he came towards me and gave me
another slap.
Me: “Amateur!”
Another slap landed on my face.
Me: “If I make it out alive here I promise you you will
feel my wrath all of you”
About 30 minutes after I heard gunshots banging
outside they freaked out...
I saw mustard scarf flying and it landed on the floor
and they saw it they all freaked out and there were
statues.
Me: “Heee! Nyon' enamandla bathathe ngamazipho
ubacaphune!!” I screamed when I saw the scarf.
We all say that when we praise each other.
Silence
The boss of amateurs quickly came towards me he
353 | P a g e
pointed the gun in my tummy.
Guy1: “I'll take out your heart and feed it to the dogs”
I just smiled when I heard his voice he was standing in
the door carrying AK-47. He was so sexy I just wanted
to jump to go to him and kiss him dearly.
Guy1: “I won't tell you twice your foolish snob” he put
his arm on in my neck as a sign that he will strangle me
when Samkelo comes toward us.
He just laughed out and took out his phone out his
pocket and dail....
Samkelo: “Make her cry A'chuz” he is speaking to the
phone and his phone was on loudspeaker.
A voice over the phone wail saying that she will do
anything but they must not kill her son
Guy1: “Please don't kill my mother please” his voice
was breaking.
Samkelo: “Untie her” his voice creepy.
Guy1: “Please my brother I'm beg....” he was trying to
plead with him.
Samkelo: “Now!” he roared.
He quickly unties me I made my way to him.
Samkelo: “Take them to our secret place we'll meet
tonight for a braai” he said to the guys.
Samkelo: “Babe are you okay?” he asked as we walked
out of the house and pulled me to his chest went to his
car and drove off there was corpses all over the yard
the living is the one who was inside the house.
I was crying to his chest...
354 | P a g e
Me: “How did you found me?” I asked me I was still in
his chest.
It took us 1 hour and 30 minutes we were in his house
in the Estate. The doctor was waiting for us I thinks he
is here to check that we are okay luckily they didn't
beat me up except of those few slaps.
The doctor went with us to his bedroom and checked
me there and she told him that I'm fine it’s just that I
need to drink a lot of water and rest.
After the doctor was fine he walked her out before he
went out.
Samkelo: “Go and take a shower” When he is quite like
this it means he is angry but there's doctor here and
she was recommended by Dr Ransool.
He found me standing where he left mine before he
went out. He just gave me a weird look and I know he
is angry. I need to explain what happened but not now.
I took of my clothes and I was left with bra and panty
he was sitting on the edge of the bed looking down and
I know that he is thinking hard.
Me: “Can you please take with shower with me” I was
in front of him my tummy touching his head as he
bowed his head.
I felt his hands on my hips I missed his touch so much.
He looked up to me. He took off his clothes and
I went to the bathroom as the hot water fallen on me I
felt his presence behind me... Mhmm... I love his
presence...
355 | P a g e
Me: “I'm sorry babe....”I tried to explain.
Samkelo: “Shhhh” he kissed my neck leaving traces.
That's my weakest point and he know that and I like it
so much. He turned me to face him and he kissed me
senseless...His hand was caresses my back and another
one was running to my breast and my thighs he broke
the kiss took a towel and dried the both of us he picked
me up and went to bedroom and put me gently on the
bed. He went back to the bathroom and he came back
so quickly....
Me: “Babe we need to ta....” he just climbed on top
and kissed me.
We kissed when things heated up I felt his finger inside
me he was playing with my clit in a minute he was
inside me fucking me hard...
Samkelo: “Haven't I told you to tell me when you go
somewhere”
Me: “Ahhhh babe...” I couldn't talk because he was
fucking me so hard. When I was so near to come.
He got off me and made me sleep with my side he
lifted my one leg with his arm and he was inside me
again.
Samkelo: “Haven't I?” he breath in my ear as my back
faces him.
Me: “Babe... I'm sorry... Ahhhh” I tried to explain. He
was fucking me so slow now but when he makes his
way in he pumps so hard in a way that give me
Goosebumps.
356 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Promise me you won't do that again” he
said fucking me so hard.
He stopped.
I knelt on the bed and turned him softly he smiled a
little. I got on top of him I kissed the shit out of him I
left a trace behind his right ear he jumped out I almost
fell he quickly caught me...
Samkelo: “Sorry babe it's just that bengalindele ukuthi
uzongibeka love bite” he said tried to hold himself
from laughing.
Me: “It's okay” I laid on other side of the bed.
I didn't finish what I started but it’s okay we will
tonight because he can't take his hands off me.
I'm getting fat due to pregnancy and he loves my
pregnant body.
He is so caring more especially because I'm pregnant
he makes sure that I attend my doctor's appointment
he massages my feet and he enjoys doing that. I
remember one day when I first went with him to
doctor's appointment I was wearing a dress I forgot to
legging because i knew he would
overreact when we got there he wanted to see on the
scan so I pulled the dress up for doctor to apply the gel
he said "Babe pull that dress down" the doctor laughed
I was quit and he said " Babe this doctor can't see my
property" he pulled my dress down when the doctor
already applied the gel so he asked the doctor to get
the a female gynaecologist because he will lose his to
357 | P a g e
know that my velvet is seen by another man so I have a
female gynaecologist and it was not negotiable that
male gynecologist was so cool so now I have to look at
this bitch.
Samkelo: “Let's continue where we left off” he spanked
me in the shower.
Me: “Babe I'm going with you for tonight's mission in
the warehouse”
It’s been time I saw him in action.
Samkelo: “I'm not going with you”
Me: “Even if you leave me here I will come on my own
so it better to go with me to protect your child”
I scrubbed my body so hard.
Samkelo: “Ei ngoba okwami akufani nokwabanye” I
laughed out.
Samkelo: “Okay for tonight only”
As if I care I'm going there I want to look at them
bloody amateurs.
Samkelo is another level of heartless he has a set of
Axe's from the small one to the bigger one and they
are all engraved with SK when he kills someone its he
uses an axe or fire but fire is for normal punishment
and to use an axe is a big punishment ever since I
joined I've never seen him killing anyone
I only see him on cash heist or other mission I was told
by him and I saw the videos of him killing people so
headless in the basement. The basement has all types
of guns bullets and bulletproof vests big screens and a
358 | P a g e
lot of money and the house in Zimbali in Durban has
the basement have the same
as this basement here. He played a video of him killing
people who crossed him and the gang.
My phone is ring but I don't know where but how did
he get it because...
Me: “Mom I'm sorry for not coming today....” She
heaved a sigh.
Mom: “Are you okay? Thabi called me she told me that
you were missing and she also updated me when you
got found” her voice was so low. She is worried I can
tell by the ways she speaks right now.
Me: “I'm okay mom there's no need to worry about
me”
Mom: “The thought of losing you and your bab....” she
was breaking. That's broke my heart I hate it when she
cries or to hear one of my family member crying.
Me: “Please don't cry mom I'm okay even the doctor
confirmed that I'm okay”
When we got in we found her here so I know that I'm
okay luckily I didn't cry there I think I was overwhelmed
and I was worried about my baby.
Me: “I'll come home tomorrow Mom” I don't know
what now because she is still angry at me.
Mom: “No tomorrow just makes sure that you're okay
and come home after that” she said she has softened a
little bit.
The thought of losing me worked because when my
359 | P a g e
mother is angry and tell you to come home its means
you're in a jive big time she would be at the bitchy
attitude out of you but she would've beat me because
I'm pregnant but I'm sure she will shout at me all the
reaming months of the year.
Luckily I'm giving birth on December so five months to
go but come January I will be holding my baby and I
will drink alcohol as I like. Wheew!
Thabi called me to check up on me but I heard a voice
like Nokwe's voice I'm giving birth on December so five
months to go but come January I will be holding my
baby and I will drink alcohol as I like. Wheew!
Thabi called me to check up on me but I heard a voice
like Nokwe's voice but she said it's not her she is with a
colleagues mxm okay. She was supposed to come and
see but she didn't I think she is swamped with work but
it’s okay. 8
At 21:30 we got ready to go to the "braai" in the
warehouse. We all use the word "braai" when we take
some to the warehouse just to neutralise the situation
in case they are cameras or listening devices.
He forced me to wear that stupid bulletproof vest I
hate with all my heart. We used the back exit because
his parents are here. I didn't see Mntungwa ever since I
came back and that witch called
MaNdlovu.
AK was waiting for us in the back street on our house.
He had my Ferro Rocher chocolate with him because
360 | P a g e
he will not do anything there without give them to me.
He makes sure that I get everything
I'm craving in that time when he is around.
When we got there we found Kat Phindi and the other
guys but they were still coming. We found the outside
behind the warehouse.
Kat: “Why is she here? Didn't I cut off from the
operations?”He must not spoil my mood right now.
Samkelo: “Hade Grootman she was yelling at her
saying that she will come with or without my
permission so I wanted therm to be safe so that's why
she is here. It will never happen again”
As if I care I wanted to see what he will do to them so I
won't be told by him.
Kat: “Sure ntwana but next time I don't need her here I
need a little Khumalo to be safe” he smiled.
It's the first time I see his smile he can laugh but to
smile it's not his thing. He is cute but it’s just that it’s
hard to see that because he is scary.
At 21:58 we were all here so we got inside and he
wasn't in my side he was the last one to come in and
the Spider and AK closed the door. It was all eight of
them hanging with their heads pointing down and their
feet ups he disappeared and when he came back
carrying a big long black bag and it was
Heavy I see the way he us carrying it...
The guys stood up from the chairs and whistle to him
he has another smile I never saw that smile in him and
361 | P a g e
his eyes were red.
He was walking in a slow motion and we all whistle to
him when he was in his black Polo neck he left his black
ankle coat somewhere here.
Axe: “Umlilo!!.... Imbazo!!.... Umlilo!!!.... Imbazo!!!”
they all screamed out jumping up and down in the
same tune whistling... Samkelo SK and Axe is one
person but different names are used at different
scenarios.
They made a big circle so I went there too to the circle
to watch the show.
Them: “Bagence mgenci bakone kakhulu!!” they all
screamed others whistling and he was on his knees
shaking his head rapidly.
I was standing where I can see his face.
It was as if he was possessed with big fear fuldem on
that can kill you by just looking at you. His eyes were
angry and hungry for blood...... He is damn sexy in that
moment of his own world I just wish I can jump in and
kiss him.
In that moment of praising him he took out two big
sharpest Axe's I've ever seen in my life. Those
big blades on the Axes are so shiny you can use it to as
a mirror.
Them: “Mgenci wezoni maqede ubagonise amakhanda
abo!!” they were praising him and he was holding the
two axes’ up in the air. The guys unchained those guys
and they first chained the boss of the ametuers in table
362 | P a g e
that has chains for hands and feet in the middle she
was a big chain that is chained across his stomach.
Axe came towards him and his was in tears but he can't
cry out loud because there's a cloth in his mouth.
Axe: “You kept my woman and put my unborn child in
danger and pointed a gun in her stomach” he was
brushing his head and he was crying. He took out the
cloth in his mouth.
He kissed his forehead they all laughed out he took two
steps back he took one of his axes and kiss the shining
blade.
Axe: “Are you ready to meet your maker?!” he is
laughing out loud.
The boss of the amateurs was wailing like a bitch SK
took his axe up and it landed in between the neck and
the shoulder... He took a one loud scream... The axe
got stuck in between the neck and the shoulder he was
shaking the axe that got stuck and he was crying his
lungs out and you can hear that
he was in deep pain. He tried to get it out but it was
stuck on the bone he used his right foot and he took it
with a force and he was crying harder now.
In a minute an axe landed on the neck and he just kept
quite in a second... My eyes were all out... I couldn't
believe that the man I share a bed with this heartless
but why he is so sexy in that scariest deadly person he
is now. The guys quickly unchained him and SK took
the corpse's head and made it to hold its head. He did
363 | P a g e
the same thing to the other 7 men that were chained.
After doing it he was covered in blood but you
wouldn't notice because he was wearing black
after that AK drove us back in his house in our way
there I was him chest in even though his clothes
was covered in blood but I didn't mind that his
heartbeat was beating like it was singing a lullaby for
when we got there he shook me to wake we to get
inside.
We took a shower and have a great sex after that. I
knew that sex would take his tension and he slept like a
baby.
At 04:00 am I heard a knock in a door I decided to
ignore it but it kept banging so I took his shirt and went
to the door... Its Lwandile.
Lwandile: “Can we please go to hospital now?” he was
breathing fast as if he was running.
Me: “Whose is at hospital?” I yawned.
Lwandile: “My girlfriend is in the hospital so I need to
be there now!” he shook my hands.
Ei yazi iscefe nje lesi.
Me: “Okay I will wake you brother up” I closed the
door.
He was sleeping so peaceful but he must wake up.
Me: “Babe wake up Lwandile want us to take him to
hospital” I shook him.
Samkelo: “He must go and fuck himself” he yawned.
He hates it when you wake him up unless I want to do
364 | P a g e
things to him other than that he just swears.
Me: “Babe wake up!” I went to the closet to take a
dress. Mntungwa is here so I can't wear trousers
I respect him so I must wear a dress or a skirt when he
is around he is a grandfather of my child so I need to
respect him.
He woke up and made his way to the bathroom and he
came wearing out wearing red addidas tracksuits and
he is hot in it that sleepy face.
Samkelo: “Let's go” he took his wallet and we found
Lwandile pacing up and down holding his phone.
Me: “Let's go now”
We went out and went to the door their parents will
follow us with another car. I was sleepy all the way his
friends are in KZN they'll come when the baby is born. I
once met Rachel she is cute and they are perfect for
each other and she also graduated in May at least have
has brains.
When we got there we found Commissioner and his
wife pacing up and down she was worried about her
daughter. They told Lwandile that Rachel said she
wanted him only in her labour ward. She had her own
ward because her father wanted so she got want she
wanted.
At 06:12am in the morning the doctor came in and told
us the good news and the baby is agirl.
Mntungwa was so happy to get another girl since he
has one girl in his children.
365 | P a g e
We got time to see her she is so beautiful and she is
tiny. Her parents were the first to see and
her grandparents followed and when it was Samkelo's
turn...
Samkelo: “Ai ngiyayisaba ingane encane” he shook his
big head.
We all laughed at him. He is about to be a father so he
must know how to feed bath and all those stuffs. I took
her to my arms she is so beautiful I hope that she will
not be a problem child like her father.
Me: “What's her name?” I touched her tiny pale
fingers.
Lwandile: “Her name is Amahle Angel Khumalo” His
facial expression is so warm and happy I really pray for
him to grow up i hope she will change him. Samkelo
came to me and tried to hold her tiny fingers but he
was so scared.
Me: “Don't be scared touch her fingers at least” I took
his hand and I made him to her tiny fingers he smiled
and looked her with unusual smile but it was cute
though.
We left them in the hospital and when we were at
home we took a bath together and went to the bed I
wanted to take a nap because I woke up early in the
morning. He made me to sleep on his chest
I felt something moving in my stomach.
Me: “Touch here” I took his hand and placed it on the
side of my tummy.
366 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Babe! He is kicking!” he sat up and he was
smiling his face was filled with love that all I can say.
The doctor told us that our baby is a boy when we
went to the appointment so he was little said because
he wanted a girl. It’s unusual a man wants a baby girl
but he waters it but he was happy that it’s a boy he will
teach how to ride a bicycle and all those boys’ stuff.

Me being pregnant has made his to show his so loving

and so caring side. He makes sure that when I wake up
my chicken burger from Chicken Licken is here with
fries but we fight when I want to eat ice but I steal
them and lock myself in bathroom eat them all he once
said "when my child is diagnosed with pneumonia I will
never forgive you" that is emotional blackmail but I
don't care when I want ice
I want them and I eat it.
He is full of drama but I can't imagine my life without
him sometimes she is so annoying and controlling but
in all that his imperfections I still love him and more
especially because he is a GANGSTER.

Chapter 24

I went home as my mom said and he took me home

and things were little bit tense because my
367 | P a g e
parents were angry that I'm pregnant. They were both
tense but my sister a son leaves at work so she was the
one who was talking to me like an adult my parents
were treating me like a 7-year-old. I'm a grown up I
know that I messed up having a child out of wedlock
but now I can take care of myself financial and I didn't
tell them that I'm not working but I said I was now
working in Durban not in Cape Town.
We moved from Cape Town now I'm living in Durban
with him in Zimbali and I'm seven months pregnant he
is treating me like a child and I hate.
Samkelo: “Babe please wake or else we'll be late” he
shook me
I hate it when he wakes me up and I really love to sleep
nowadays. We are invited in Thabi's house is four
streets away from our house so we are invited for
lunch. He is ready to get I was taking a nap when he
came and woke me up.
I took my body lotion to the bedroom to apply it on my
body he likes to watch me when I do that especially
now because I'm pregnant and he is obsessed with my
tummy and my ass.
I found along floral dress and black gladiators. I don't
understand why he chose it but I'll pick my own dress I
want to wear not this one.
I went to the closet and came with pitch tight dress.
Samkelo: “Babe it will tight you so....” I gave him a
dead stare.
368 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Okay” his hands were up as a sign he
surrenders.
I wore my pitch tight dress and my tummy is big now
so I asked him to help me with gladiators he did and he
had smile in his face and I'm sure that he was thinking
that I'm stupid or crazy because in a minute I refused
to wear a dress that he picked for me.
Samkelo: “We'll walk babe” he looked away.
Me: “You must be kidding me”
Samkelo: “I knew!” he laughed.
When we were done he took my handbag and filled it
with Ferro Rocher he knows I like it so much.
He once forgot to buy it I cried my lungs out and he
went to buy it at night. He takes care of me and I really
appreciate to have man like him.
Who knew a heartless cold blood murderer/gangster
can be so loving caring and so sweet but he is I love
him so much?
We went out and drove its Seven minutes away but he
took a wrong road intentionally I don't know why but I
will remain cool he took another wrong road again.
Me: “Samkelo!” I looked at him so furiously.
Samkelo: “Ah my love ukuthi angijwayele ukuya
kulowamuzi” he tried to confuse himself.
Me: “Take another wrong road again I will walk myself
to their house”
He is really testing my patience now. He took another
wrong road I just cried because he was busy laughing
369 | P a g e
at me when he was that I'm angry.
Samkelo: “Awu babe sorry” he took the right road now
and when we got there I didn't have any appetite
because he made me angry.
We parked outside because it doesn’t have a gate.
Me: “Are you sure we are at the right place?” I said
looked at him annoyed I was looking around because
its looks like there's no one here.
We got in.
Samkelo: “Yeah it’s the right house but I look like
there's no one here”
The door was open and we got in this house is a double
storey. We stood in there inside.
Me: “We are at the wrong house if I get hurt here I'll
shot your ass babe”
“SURPRISE!!” They all screamed out.
We just looked at each other surprised.
Thabi: “Welcome mngani” she a big smile on her face.
Nontu: “Little sister”
I just cried I couldn't believe they would do something
for me. They covered with white big boards.
When I came in in this house I thought this house
belongs to the painter or something judging by
the boards so I thought he got the wrong address.
Thabi: “Thanks for coming Samkelo” she shook
Samkelo’s hand.
Andile came in he gave him a brotherly hug.
Samkelo: “Even you you didn't tell me this?” he
370 | P a g e
smiled.
Why he is here because this is a baby shower and men
are not allowed in here.
Thabi: “We made something special for you. Please
come to this side” she pointed another room.
Nokwe: “Photoshoot and after that you gentlemen can
leave us”
Me: “Ncooah bangan!” my eyes were full of tears.
Damn pregnant!
The team here who will take pictures of us gave me a
short white skirt made of lace and told me to take off
my dress and wore that skirt of theirs and my bra. They
told him to take off his golf T-shirt he was left with his
skinny jean so we took so hot and sexy picture. My
favourite is the one when he was
holding my tummy and I put my hands on his shoulders
facing him and whole of the mare my favourite.
When we were done at taking pictures.
Nokwe: “Thank you gentlemen so now you can leave
us” she pushed them out. He came to me and gave a
kiss. After that they went off.
Nokwe: “The party can start!” she took her drink I wish
I was her drinking hot beverages but here I am with
this big tummy.
Thabi took me to the other room and I found a yellow
lacy long dress I wore it with black push in I couldn't
wear heels because my feet are swollen. When I came
back they directed me to my chair.
371 | P a g e
The décor here has a touch of blue and the cake is a big
tummy with boobs I like it and it's also blue.
I was crying because I was overwhelmed I didn't
expect that they would do this just for me.
Nontu: “Don't cry babe” she wiped my tears in my
cheeks.
This confirm that it was Nokwe's voice that I heard
when I called Thabi the other day and Nontu
wasn't taking my calls lately I think they were to get
her planning this party for me.
The M.C I know her through Thabi but she is boring me
so sometimes I don't entertain her but now I must
because she is the M.C in my baby shower. The ladies
her were wearing yellow tops and white skinny jeans
and I'm also wearing a yellow dress.
The party went well and I was enjoying myself they
made sure that my glass is full of orange juice and
Ferrer Rocher on the side so it was great until we
heard....
Silence.
Thabi: “Who is that?”
I took my handbag...
Nokwe went to the window and she...
Nokwe: “I don't know whose car is that I think they are
lost” she was looking outside through the window.
The car outside was hooting out loudly and is was so
annoying now because we stopped when we heard this
annoying car hoot coming in here. And no with as
372 | P a g e
raving sounds and scratching tyres as if they are
gangsters.
Me: “Follow me” I took my gun with me to go outside
and see who it is that bitch who is starting unnecessary
drama.
They were all shocked to see me holding a gun but
they followed me. I was rushing outside and I
was barefoot.
When I opened the door I saw the red Ferrari hooting
out loud as I was about to go to it and point a gun to
that idiot who is driving it....Samkelo came out of the
red Ferrari...
I was so annoyed and confused. He came towards me
he was smiling at me.
Me: “It's you kanti you're disturbing us with this noise”
He was still smiling he annoys me right now so I turned
to walk back to the house he quickly turned me to face
him. He pecked my lips.
Samkelo: “Do you like it?”
Me: “Like what?” I'm confused.
Samkelo: “The car babe?” The ladies are looking at us
confused.
Me: “What car?” I don't know what he is talking about.
Samkelo: “That car babe” he pointed at a Ferrari my
eyes were all out.
Me: “Yes babe I like” I smiled.
Samkelo: “It's yours” he flashed the car keys in my
face. I took the car keys on his hand jumping up and
373 | P a g e
down.
Samkelo: “It's a gift. Thanks babe for carrying my seed”
Girls: “Ncooah”
Me: “Thanks babe! You're the best I love”
When I wanted to go and test drive it he refused when
I wanted to drive he took me for a spin I can't wait to
give birth and drive my beast. The red Ferrari!
They all wanted to take a spin so the party official
ended when my car came in. After when he took me
for a sip him and Andile went off. We went inside and
they were all saying that he is romantic and yes he is.
We are sharing a month our birthdays are in the same
month and I will give birth in December on my birth
month so he wants him to be born on his birthday for
them to share a birthday but I doubt that.
The ladies here are having drinks now and they are
staring to do the weird things. The presents were not
opened when he came to deliver my car so I will open
them later at home. Nokwe's friends were the first to
go because the one of them is on the night shift so she
must leave early. I thanked them for attending in
person. The other followed and Thabi was forced to
call a cab for her colleague because she was so drunk
she couldn't even stand on her own. I hope Andile
won't fight with Thabi about his expensive whiskey.
Me: “Thanks bangani for doing this for me thank you so
much” I hugged Thabi Nokwe and Nontu.
Nontu was quite I don't know why but I must talk to
374 | P a g e
her before I go. She is sleeping here I don't know why
but I think TK is around. Ever since they started to she
doesn’t sleep in my house or in my place she is always
with TK when she is in Durban.
Me: “Why are you quite?” I pat her shoulder from
behind.
Nontu: “It’s nothing” her face was sad.
Me: “Try little harder” She knows that I mean start
talking.
Nontu: “I had a weird dream today; I was walking on
blood in your...."she stopped as she saw Thabi coming
towards us.
Thabi: “It’s only us left now” she sat next to Nontu.
Sometimes I forgot that they boyfriends are brothers. I
haven't seen TK around but I know he is around
drinking alcohol with his brother and my man. Eish
Nontu didn't finish what she was saying but I will talk
with her. She is staying in TK’s townhouse in Durban
and its 45 km away from here.
Mbuso came into fetch Nontu I think TK sent him to
fetch her so I didn't get time to speak to her and
I'm tired I need to go I want to sleep I had a long
wonderful day today so I need to thank my man maybe
in the middle of the night not now right now I'm tired I
need to sleep.
Gwajo is walking now but not properly he falls
sometimes but he is getting there. He is his father
and his aunty clones. He is so noisy as the kid on his
375 | P a g e
age is supposed to make noise. I picked him up and he
likes to laugh a lot at least he has his mother's lips. I
don't understand why a child can be a clone of
someone who you don't know I need to do some
research about it it concerns me.
I've been waiting for Samkelo to pick me up It’s only
me and my best friends here. Nokwe is still here but
Sakhi will pick her up they are staying in Umhlanga
Sakhi owns a house there and Kat also has a house
there. They're property buyers I can see that in them.
I heard Kat has a girlfriend I don't understand him and I
don't even want to understand him.
Me: “Mngani I'm going now” I took my Ferrari keys.
Thabi: “Aibo Ngicela ulinde uSamkelo azokulanda” she
sipped from her glass.
Me: “I'm going I've been waiting for him for an hour
now and I'm tired” I started to walk away.
I stop.
Me: “Thanks again bangani for this beautiful we had
here early on I love you so much” my eyes were filled
with tears.
Nokwe: “Please go and sleep. We love you so much”
she slightly pushed me.
She knows that if I start to make signs that I'm leaving
it’s a sign that I'm not living that place in
anytime soon.
Me: “Byes” I left the house. I went to my Ferrari and
they were following I got in and revved it a little bit and
376 | P a g e
went off.
At least I'm driving around the Estate so I think I'm
safe.
After four minutes I was at home I was not driving fast
because I will really drive it when after I give birth.
When I got home his car was not there and I'm alone
here in this big house to I'm taking a shower and sleep
after that. I wanted to call him but I thought he is living
a little so let me give him so space to enjoy himself.
I took a shower and got in bed naked and he likes it so
much but sometimes he can cause unnecessary drama
him saying “how am I supposed to sleep when your ass
is on Mbulazi” I just laugh at him and shift my ass as
the time I shift he grabs me my waist and put me in the
position I was in.
Its 21:40pm on Saturday I think he'll come in after
02:00am him wants his food and me to look at
him while he is eating but he must not today I'm tired
unless he wants to taste the Honey pot it’s okay but
other than that he must not wake me up.
Coffee In the morning....By Miguel.
Don't tell me that he is playing this song in the middle
of the night.
Nxaa arggh it’s my phone...
At 02:13 who is calling me currently.
Thabi: “Mngani there's someone here in my house and
I'm scared Andile is not here...”
I sat up quickly. Samkelo hasn't come back and its
377 | P a g e
02:15am and it mean she us with Andile wherever he
is.
Me: “Give Gwajo a panado and lock the door in your
room I'm coming now” I hung up.
I quickly woke up and took my black jean black vest
black ankle coat and took my black high heel boot
luckily my feet are not swollen. I quickly put them on
and took my guns and I put on mustards scarf and I
went off I'm using my car.
I tried to call him but it was on voicemail and I tried
Andile it was in voicemail too also the same thing to
Thokozani. I wore my bullet proof vest but it was sitting
on me properly because of my tummy.
I tried Ta Kat he was on voicemail too.
I parked two houses away from Thabi's house and it
took me three minutes to get here. I'm seven months
and two weeks but I managed to jump a fence from
the other house to go in Thabi house for them not to
notice me so I opened the window with the crowbar so
I was in the storeroom I got in
and I closed the window. I had a silence...
“Don't come out of your room I'm trying to get help
please go and hide in the close tiny our
bedroom now!” I sent SMS to Thabi.
I slightly opened the door and its leading to the
passage and there are two men here...
I managed to shoot women and I went to the other but
the door was locked I heard voices coming towards
378 | P a g e
where I was standing I quickly went to open the door
luckily it was not locked...
I got in so fast but the voice were on the door on the
room I'm in and I couldn't recognized the voices
when I checked through the keyhole I don't know these
colour of clothes so I'm allowed to shoot....I managed
to aim the one of them and I fired.....
Guy1: “There's someone here!” shouted...
I heard lots of footsteps coming near where I am.
I need to think my way out here and I had to make it
out alive I need to protect my friend and her baby and
my baby....
The room I'm in is dark luckily I'm not nyctophobia
anymore but the passage is having the light on so
I need to think fast... I took my mustard scarf out and I
threw it out of the door and it came flying on their
faces.
Guy2: “There's someone dangerous here I think we
need”
I fired I didn't have time to think. The four of them who
was near the door. The other few footsteps went away
so now I know there are some left.
I took off my timberland boot because I don't want
them to trace my steps so now I'm left with my socks
only. The lights are still on so I need to play my cards
right here so I need to play my cards right here so I
took a small board that was
making a little noise behind so I'll use it when I get out
379 | P a g e
of this room...
There was no one in the passage I took my scarf on my
way out...
I was behind the board. I heard voices talking but they
were whispering...
My phone rings...
Fuck!
I just shot the light that was on in the kitchen and I
quickly aimed the chandelier in the living room
the breaking glass sound gave me a time to keep
moving with my board......
Gunshots banging....
They were shooting the board.
I fell with my stomach....
Luckily they shot behind my back. I crawled to hide
behind the sofa. I just knelt and I managed to see ass of
one idiot...
I fired....
A loud scream came after that. I just shot the ass of
some idiot. Yes! I threw a scarf again...
Guy: “Fuck!” the other said behind the others of a I
think it fell on his face or next to him.
I fired. I heard more footsteps coming in I knew I'm in a
jive so all I need i something that will for. I crawled I
made I'm way to the kitchen luckily it was on my
side......
On what I'm thinking can put my life in danger and my
child's life but I don't have a choice I have to do it. All I
380 | P a g e
know is that Thabi loves gas stove and all windows are
tinted in this house.
I switched on the stove on high so after some minutes
the gas was spreading all over the house. The stove
was making a sound as the gas gush out......
All of us here are equal....
Me: “One wrong move we all die here” I stood up.
They switched on the light. There's one light here in
the kitchen. In a second they all rose up....
It’s about 10 men here wearing red clothes.
Me: “Damn fools what were you trying to do?” I am
laughing but I was starting to cough because of the gas
I'm inhaling.
Guy: “The bitch is...Pregnant”
I hope Thabi is stilling hiding there because I wouldn't
like it when she sees me wearing like this. I'm coughing
now but I'm drinking water as I'm the only one who is
standing next to the sink in the kitchen here.
There's something cold in my arm...
Fuck! I was shot in the arm and I'm bleeding.
Now I'm feeling the sharp pains in the chest and
asthma is about to kick in but I can't even go or
do anything around here....
The footsteps....
I know these footsteps and they are familiar. I saw two
mustard scarfs flying.... Shit is about to go down
Me: “Nyoni enamandla!” I'm breaking.
The powerful bird is here....
381 | P a g e
Spikes: “Yeyii Nina masende enu”
Spider: “Nizonya!” Zee came in running to switch off
the stove.
Zee: “Are you okay?”
The guys in red are tied in a minute. Spider quickly
went to Thabi's room to check if there's no one who
can threaten her or Gwajo.
Spider: “Nompe you're bleeding?”
I was shot in the arm on the left and right thigh so I
need to take these bullets of my body.
Me: “Spikes please take off my jean” He just looked at
me.
Damn I'm not wearing a panty but I don't care with
that.
Spikes: “SK will not apprec…”
Me: “Voetsek do you see him here? Just take the
fucken jean out!” I shouted.
He took it off and Spider was in behind Spikes.
Why it’s taking long now.
Spider: “Nxaa move and close your mouth”
Zee came and buttoned my ankle coat. I told Zee to
take my jean boots and scarf and put it on my car. She
quickly does as I said. Spider took a chair for me and I
sat on. I told Spider to go and get Thabi out of the
closet. Thabi: “Mngani I will call a doctor now” she
gave Gwajo to Zee. Her eyes and red and puffy and
tears are still falling. Me: “Wait stop it with tears! I
need Perfume water vodka sugar and cobwebs”
382 | P a g e
They quickly went to get what I need now and Thabi
was standing next to me crying.
Thabi: “I'm sorry I didn't mean to....” she cried out
loud.
Me: “Shut the fuck up! Go and take first aid kit” She
disappeared and came back with the kit I wanted.
She is a crier naturally. I'm happy she didn't saw these
seven corpses or else she was gonna cry for the entire
year. They came back with the things I wanted to I'm
here needed to take these bullets out of my body. Me:
“Call Phindi to come with her man now. Tell her that I'll
meet her on my house (Samkelo's house)”
I clinched my teeth.
I need a vodka to come down my nerves. I apologized
to my unborn child for drink alcohol but I need to
protect us so I had to drink vodka.
I started to hear where the bullet is on my left arm
using the finger luckily it missed the bone. I
sprayed the perfume on the open wound.... I put the
bullet removing scissor....
Me: “One.... Two.... Threee!” I took the bullet out. So
now I must remove the one on my right tight.
I did the same thing. I took it out too.
I put a sugar and cobwebs on the wounds for the book
not to clot. So now I need a doctor to check if my baby
is okay and I hope he is okay.
Zee put bandages on my wounds. I was coughing but it
has tone down now.
383 | P a g e
Me: “Where is Samkelo?” I pointed my head to Spider.
Spider: “Andimazi. I've been trying to call him and
Andile but I couldn't reach them”
Me: “Thabi take your things we are going to my house”
I need to make sure that she is safe with my
Gwajo that kid is so adorable.
When she came back with a bag Zee helped me to
stand up we went out to my car. Spikes locked and
Zee drove off to my house Spider Spikes AK Sniper
were following us. When we got home we found
Phindi and her husband waiting.
Me: “I was shot in the arm and tight I also inhaled the
gas” I didn't greet them.
“You need to lay down for me” He is Phindi's husband
Mbuyiselo Bukhosini he is gynaecologist so he knows
this thing. I did as tell. He checked me for some time.
Mbuyiselo: “You're so lucky that you're inhaled the
small amount of gas the baby is fine and you so I need
you to go to the doctor the first thing in the morning”
I'm relieved my baby is okay Phindi said if I'm going to
be fine and the wounds are going to heal fast because I
put vodka on it. Mbuyiselo gave me antibiotics so they
both said I'm on a safe side and I'm okay.
Zee showed them out.
Me: “The second room from the passage mngani
please use it” Her eyes are teary.
Thabi: “Thanks friend” she wiped tears. She took
Gwajo from the couch and went away.
384 | P a g e
Spider told the guys to guard us 24/7. I'm angry at him
I need here. I went to my bedroom got in the covers.
When I opened my eyes I was hoping to see him but he
is still not here. It's 06:13am his side of the bed is
clean.
The knock?
Thabi: “It's me!” It's Thabi I forgot I took her in because
I couldn't let her to sleep in that house alone.
Me: “Ngena!” I said out loud.
She is holding a trey. Ncooah she is such a darling she
made breakfast in.
Thabi: “How did you know that I'm starving?” I
yawned.
I'm starving as if I had had something to eat for
months. I ate my breakfast without washing my face or
hands. After eating my phone beeped. I hope its him
because if it not I will lose it. A message with a link. I
pressed on the link it took a minute to....
Me: “What the fuck!?” I said out loud.
Thabi: “What is it?”
I gave her a phone to look for herself.
“FROM RICH KIDS TO RICH LAYWERS” The headlines on
a tabloid.
Thabi: “Wow!” she managed to say that.
Samkelo and Andile made the headlines in one of the
well-known tabloids. They are both holding some
floozies and that's why they didn't came to help.
Nokwe and Nontu called but it was too early I didn't
385 | P a g e
answer their calls I need him here now to explain
himself.
My phone was ringing nonstop all the numbers that
are calling I don't know them and others are landlines
so I'm not going to answer anyone of them. Just to
think I don't know where is right now is making me
crazy and Lord help me not to shoot his ass today.
My phone rings…
Kat: “Could you please track those two littles bastards
for me and send the location when you done”
I know he will beat the shit out of them.
Me: “Sure” I got up from bed and made my way to the
study and I need to trace these two bastards.
In 10 minutes I was done I sent the address they are at
Hilton hotel in Durban and I'm sure they Fucked
those bitches all night they disappeared yesterday at
18:30pm till now.
Me: “Since we can't go outside of this house we have
movies to watch” I found her in the lounge.
We have a Cinema in this house so she put Gwajo on
sleep and we focused on a movie. Today I'm
not cooking for that bitch of a man I'm tired of his bitch
ways. I know that I'll have to watch romcom if
I'm watching tv with her.
It's Dairy of Mad Black Woman so I'm forced to watch
it with her. When the movie was starting I heard a door
open.
It’s quite but I heard footsteps. It two cheating
386 | P a g e
bastards I can't even Lol at them.
Kat: “Nxaa what the fuck has happened?”
Kat don’t take nonsense he beat them up first before
taking them here judging by Samkelo's face has a blue
eye on his right eye and Andile is bleeding on the
mouth. I first hug my best friend in case I don't see her
when they go then I went to my bedroom I just
remembered that my guns need to be cleaned and I
will do it myself.
I won't entertain him today I had pains but I'm strong
this is nothing. I put my wireless earphone.
He came in the room he was talking judging by his lips
were moving but I didn't pay attention to it. If
I dare talk to him I'll lose it. I don't talk about my
feelings if I have pain I want to deal with it in my own
way but right now I can't even drink. I took off my
clothes to take a shower its hot I need a cold water.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt”
I was quite and went to the bathroom opened the
shower tap the memories came back flashing in my
mind thinking that what if I was shot or if my baby was
shot.... I was crying silently...
I felt his presence and I know he is behind me...His
hands touched my big tummy. Why he breaks my heart
like this and the very same heart love him so much.
Samkelo: “Babe I know many sorry won't amend what I
done to you. I was meant to be here with you and
protect you and our baby. What happened will never
387 | P a g e
happen I promise babe” he is breathing in my ears
behind me.
I was still crying.
We stood there about 10 minutes not saying anything
to each other but I was still crying facing the wall my
back facing him. I know he is sincere I can tell in his
voice.
He touched the bandage in my arm and he let a big
sigh I know he is angry to see that I think Ta Kat told
him what happened last night when he was not here.
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry babe I know you're hurting but
please talk to me” I turned around to face him and
gave him a stare.
Samkelo: “My insurance is ready and I told Kat to
prepare for my funeral”
I laughed a little looking deep in his eyes and he
dropped his eyes.
Me: “I want to kill you now for not being here
yesterday and cut off your dick because it causes
trouble but I can't do that because I want you to hold
my baby and love him and give you a chance of being
a father to him” I looked deep in his eyes and I was
crying.
He pulled me to his chest I cried harder he switched off
the shower tap he was rocking me to calm down and
he managed to calm me down. I was still in his chest.
Me: “I'm hungry”
Samkelo: “What would you like to eat?”
388 | P a g e
Me: “I want...Mhm...Grilled chicken fried chips
chakalaka mild Milkshake strawberry flavour
chicken burger from MacDonald dunked chicken
burger from KFC liquid fruit juice mango and orange....”
I was counting and I could hear his chest that he is
holding a laugh.
Samkelo: “I will get it all my sweetheart” he laughed.
I got off from his chest and switched on the shower tap
he knows that I hate it when he laughs at me when I
count all my cravings to him when he goes out.
Samkelo: “Hau my teddy bear I didn't mean to make
you angry” he brushed my tummy from behind.
He is breathing in my ear that's only turns me on but I
won't give it to him when yesterday was busy fucking
another bitch.
Me: “Did you use protection?”
He was quiet.
Me: “Samkelo!” I screamed.
Samkelo: “Babe I used the protection”
It broke my heart when he said but at least I won't
have an STI or STD. We don't use protection especially
now because I'm pregnant he says he likes my velvet
skoon.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry njunju wami” he planted wet kiss
on my shoulder. To imagine him on top of another
woman fucking her till her vagina gives upon her as he
does to MD breaks my heart but I can't stay angry
forever because he will run to that bitch.

Samkelo: “We need to get out of the shower now babe
you will catch cold” he switched off the shower tap and
turned me to face him. He kissed me on my forehead.
Me: “It’s so hot out there so I need something cold to
calm me down” I frowned face.
He smiled looking at me.
Samkelo: “Okay 5 minutes then you're out” he
squeezed my butt.
Me: “Ouch!”
Samkelo: “Drama!” he got out of the shower.
I closed the shower door I will stay here and come out
when I like I won't get orders from him like I'm his
employee. Fuck with him.
I stayed there for another 30 minutes I was thinking to
give him a punishment but I don't know what but I
need to do something that will make him feel like he is
losing his mind.
When I got out he wasn't in the bedroom I put a towel
on to check up on what he is doing.
Me: “Babe!”
It’s quiet. I went down the passage.
Me: “Babe!!”
It still quiet.
Me: “Samkelo!
It still quiet.
I checked him everywhere to the house but he was not
there. I went to the bedroom and I took my phone to
call him and he answered on the first ring.
390 | P a g e
Me: “Where are you?”
Samkelo: “I'm on my way to Gateway to get your
cravings” I'm sure he is smiling the way he speaks I can
tell.
Me: “Mhm okay thanks babe I can't wait”
Samkelo: “Okay babe I will see you and I love you so
much”
I quickly went to the closet and I took my dress I put it
on and slippers. I took the cameras in the safe
I plated it on the living room study passage our
bedroom I will give him the best punishment.
I left a note for him in the coffee table. You will never
find us~ Nompe
I packed all my suitcase and his them in other his car in
the garage. I set the cameras in my laptop and
I took my handbag I quickly went to Thabi's house with
my car. When I got there I found Andile in the living
room looking miserable and I know Thabi is showing
him flames.
Me: “Hey. If Samkelo calls you asking me tell him that
you don't know where I am” I sat in another couch.
Andile just looked at me.
Thabi came in wearing leggings with vest and slippers.
Thabi: “Mngani unjani?” she went to the kitchen.
Me: “Ngiyaphila babe unjani? When Samkelo calls you
asking where I am you don't know where I am okay?”
Thabi: “Good mngani! People with a bad behavior need
to taste their own medicine” I know she is telling
391 | P a g e
Andile.
He stood up and disappeared in the passage. He will
work till that ewe hours of the morning. I took my
laptop and my phone rang.
It's him and I won't answer it....
After a second he called countless time. I'm sure he is
near or about to enter in the main gate. Andile came
and went to the kitchen to make him something to eat
Thabi has no chill on him it suits him.
He disappeared in the passage again. Now I focus on
my laptop.
Thabi is next to me looking in the laptop.
He opened the door caring plastics...
Samkelo: “My panda!” he shouts. He calls me panda
because I'm fat and he like stores this hand in
my thighs or he calls me teddy bear or everything he
likes.
Samkelo: “Babe!” he put the plastic bags in the kitchen
counter and goes in every room to check me but he
doesn’t find me in the house. He took out his phone to
call me. My phone is ring and I won't answer it he
needs to learn a lesson from his bad ways. He went to
sit in the couch and he finds the note in the coffee
table...He went crazy.
He was shouting and cursing he went to take a golf
stick he smashed the tv the coffee table. He
was sweating a lot this is nice to watch and I enjoy it.
He sat down and dial....

Chapter 25

Samkelo: “She is gone I don't know where find her” he

said on the phone his voice was deep and has
angry tone.
He typed on his phone after 20 minutes Spikes came in
with Zee.
Samkelo: “Her clothes are all gone and I need her
now!” he is shouting.
Zee: “SK you need to calm...”
Samkelo: “Don't tell me to calm down when the
mother of my unborn child is gone. I need her now!”
he roared.
His phone rang...
Samkelo: “I need your help”
Thabi is amused by what we are watching in laptop.
We can't hear what he is saying he didn't put the
loudspeaker.
Samkelo: “She is where?!” he scratched his head. He
took his car keys and stormed out of the house.
In two minutes we heard a car pulling outside and I
know he is here....
Samkelo: “Where is she!?” he cames in and his eyes
were all out like a mad man.
He found me sitting in the couch looking and I quickly
393 | P a g e
closed the laptop.
Samkelo: “What the fuck are you trying to do!” Andile
came running in the living room.
Me: “How does it feel? The taste of your own
medicine!?” I shouted.
Samkelo: “Nompendulo Mazibuko don't test me!” he
came where I was sitting.
Me: “Aia wukame Samkelo ne drama. Going out
without telling you you go crazy like this?” He
picked up with my upper with a tight grip and force.
Thabi: “Don't you ever touch my sister like that you
dog” Ncooah how sweet of her saying that but she
won't understand our relationship.
Andile: “Thabi stay out of it. Let's us give them space to
talk”
Thabi: “Shut up Andile! I'm tired of your bitchy
behaviour you are busy fucking around while I'm
here loving cooking and fuck me every day! I'm tired of
you!” she roared.
She turns to look at Samkelo.
Thabi: “And you try to hold her like that again I will cut
that dick of yours” she went out of the room.
She left the three of us in the room and I think she
went to talk a walk around the Estate.
I took out my gun.
Me: “You try this nonsense again I will force you to
write her in all of your money and properties after that
cut that dick of yours and feed it to the dogs” I told
394 | P a g e
Andile and he just stood there and look at me.
I turned to Samkelo.
Me: “Try to do this shit again I will cut that dick you put
in every pussy you find with panga and frame it and
put it in my bedroom”
They stood there after some minutes they cracked out
laughing.
Andile: “Do you think I will wait and see you cutting my
dick?” he said in between his laughs.
Me: “Nxaa voetsek go and get your woman out there
before she gets a man that really loves her”
Andile: “I will kill everything that breaths” he took his
cars keys and went out living us in their house.
Samkelo: “Babe please don't you ever pull that stunt
again my heart nearly stops when I found that note” he
sat down in the couch and made me to sit in his lap.
Me: “I want you to think that whenever you're about
to fuck someone's pussy” I looked down to his eyes.
Samkelo: “It will never happen babe I promise you”
Andile came back with Thabi. She looked like she was
crying her eyes were red and swollen. They came to sit
to us and Andile made Thabi to sit on his lap and I was
also sitting on his lap.
Sam & Andi: “We are sorry for that drama that
happened and we promise it will never happen again”
We just laughed.
Me & Thabi: “Double date it is then!”
Them: “Okay”
395 | P a g e
Samkelo called Spikes that he found me. Kat laughed at
him when he saw the video of Samkelo going crazy and
smashing tv. He left early because we have a date with
Thabi and Andile in the restaurant. I was wearing a red
dress and black push in I couldn't wear heels because
my feet are swollen.
We had a great night with them and I enjoyed.
-------------
I hate Samkelo for impregnate me and I can't even
enjoy the festive like ordinary people I can't drink
alcohol and I can give birth at any time from now on.
Samkelo is nagging and fuss all over me. He doesn’t
want me to go near the swimming because I might fall
in swimming pool he is always running
around me.
The other day he was shouting at me because I was
dancing in the living room he shouted at me asking me
what if I fall or hurt myself and I hate it!
He wishes and holding hand she wants our baby to be
born with the same day as his birthday. Last year I was
in the hospital on his birthday. He doesn’t sleep this
day guarding and waiting for me to say he must take
me to the hospital.
Today it my birthday and his birthday are on upcoming
Monday so I planned his birthday party I wanted to do
something for him and I know he planned something
for me.
My mother and my grandma called me to wish me a
396 | P a g e
happy birthday. Nontu Thabi Nokwe and Zee called to
wish me a happy birthday.
When I opened my eyes he was not in bed. Where is
he?
I woke up and made bed after that I hit the shower he
is not here so I will use and do everything I like and eat
everything I like. He doesn’t want me to eat chocolate
because he did some "research" he found that a
pregnant woman eating lots of sugar or sweet a child
will have excessive saliva. Drama!
So I eat it on the closet or in the bag.
I went to the kitchen he was not there I went to the
study and he was not there either. Mxm I will go and
eat lunch on my own I don't care. No message or
anyone who wants to take me out. I hate the mall!
My baby was kicking hard. You can tell by the kick of
the baby that he or she will be rude or nice and this
one on my tummy will be so rude like his father.
Samkelo is nice and a gentle but when you step on his
toe she is very rude and a loose cannon only his old
brother can calm him down.
When I was about to go out the house AK came in.
AK: “Nomps”
Me: “You don't knock now?” He just looked at me like
I'm crazy.
AK: “Is Ta SK home?”
Me: “I don't know where he is and I don't care!” I took
my bag.
397 | P a g e
AK: “Where are you going?”
Me: “I'm taking myself out for lunch”
He looked at me. He doesn’t speak too much even his
voice is so low but when he is about to kill someone he
turns in to some alien that invaded the planet earth.
AK: “Let me drive you to wherever you're going”
Me: “What if I don't want to?”
He took my handbag in my hand and went to the door
so I don't have a choice but him to drive me around.
As he drove off from the main gate...
Me: “Where are you taking me to?”
He was quiet.
Me: “I asked you a question!” that came out loud.
I took my phone out of the bag and I dialled.
Me: “If I die today it will be AK!” I told him and I was
fast.
Samkelo: “What?” he said in a lower voice.
Me: “He took me to the house and he is takin....”
He took my phone and dropped my call with Samkelo
what's wrong with him. I took my gun out when
I tried to fire out it was empty but the last time I
checked my gun was loaded...
He just laughed out.
The car doors were locked even when I tried to get off
from this car so in no minutes he parked in at
Sibaya. He unlocked the door and I quickly stormed out
of the car and I vomited after when I was done he
came with a bottle of water and my handbag. I washed
398 | P a g e
my mouth and took my bag from him.
AK: “There's a nice restaurant here so I wanted to take
you out for lunch because it’s your birthday” he said
calmly. Why he didn't say so earlier.
I just gave him a deadly stare and he dropped his eyes.
AK: “Let's go” he pushed me a little.
I will not eat that food what if he poisoned that food
and he wants to kill me in a slow and painful death. I
went there and we entered at some fancy restaurant
there but I was empty no one was there.
The Waiter came to us his phone rang and he went to
answer it and I was left with the waiter.
Me: “Please help me he wants to kill me and please
help me to escape” I said to the waiter and she looked
young.
He came towards us and I kept quit and the waiter was
smiling at me.
AK: “Our table is on the other side” he pointed
somewhere I didn't pay any attention on what he
was saying I wanted to go out and run for my life.
AK: “Let's go” he said pushing me...
Me: “Help me! Help me!”
“Surprise!!!” they all said when we came in the and I
was screaming for my life. They were all laughing
till the tears came out and I felt little embarrassed.
Samkelo: “Happy 27th birthday my nunuberry” he
kissed my cheek.
Kat was still laughing at me.
399 | P a g e
AK: “I'm sorry I sent a wrong person to fetch you”
Kat: “I told. you...” he was still laughing.
When they were done to laugh at me my sister and my
friends were here and the Gang of course but they
were in normal clothes if you know what I mean.
Me: “Thanks my love I really appreciate it” I pecked his
lips.
He just kissed me so passionately and I wanted to
undress him right here.
Kat: “Ai enough! So did you think he wants to kill you?
The worst and funny part is when you screamed for
help...You made my day!” Kat.
I hit AK with my bag in the head. Ak: “Ouch!” he said
loud.
Kat was in stitches again it the first time I see him
laughing out loud like a normal person.
Samkelo: “Sorry bra its hormones” AK was rubbing his
head.
My sister and friends came to me laughing at they took
me to the bathroom and made me change my dress to
a beautiful long floral dress and pumps and I love it.
Me: “Who chose it for me?”
Nokwe: “Your man” she did my makeup. I don't think it
will help because I'm so ugly and my face is oily.
Me: “I love it!”
The party went well and the members of the gang who
was there went one by one saying they
have something to do quickly.
400 | P a g e
Kat: “Nompe I need you to be the warehouse tonight
at 19:00pm urgent meeting. We are on leathers today
and motorbikes”
Me: “Sure Ta Kat” he left with that moron called AK-47.
I hate him for making me think that my life is in danger.
Before he went out he came back to us and gave me
my bullets.
Me: “Next time I will shoot you ass” I whispered to
him. Kat was looking at us Samkelo was in stitches and
Ta Kat.
Samkelo made party to be short and the people went
and it was only those few was drinking but most of the
people from the gang went off.
Samkelo made me to bid goodbyes to my friends and
he told them I'm tired I need to rest and
they understood and we went off when I got home we
took a nap and I wanted him to make love to me but
he refused saying the baby has turned and he will hurt
the head of the baby so I took my horny ass and took a
nap.
When I woke up it was already 18:43pm I wasn't
dressed up.
Samkelo: “Are you okay? You can skip if you not feeling
well” he is concerned.
Me: “I'm fine baby” I took of his T-shirt and his eyes
were on me.
He took his phone. I went to the bathroom his eyes
were moving with me and I'm sure his shaft his hard
401 | P a g e
now. He doesn't get enough of my body and I don't
too.
I went to soak my body and when I came out I found
him naked but facing on the door so he wasn't aware I
was behind him...
His body is so yummy that tattoo on top of his back...
His ass is firm and tight... His muscles it’s just turn me
on...
I clear my throat and he turned.
Samkelo: “My nunuberry my sweetheart my
heartbeat” he came to me. He pulled me closed to me
and kissed me so slowly and passionately.
Me: “Don't turn me on when you won’t satisfy my
needs” after pulled out.
Samkelo: “I love you”
Me: “I love you too”
We got dress and he gave me another jacket because
mine don't fit me since I'm fat he landed me on of his.
He used a car because I can't ride a motorbike in this
condition and he wouldn't let me to do that.

When we got there the was no one there and it was so

dark.
Me: “Its 19:29 now and there's no sign of the others
here!”
We are at the back of the house.
Samkelo: “They will come babe” he held my hand
tight.
402 | P a g e
Me: “Where is my gun?”
He is quite and we are going so slow.
Me: “Samkelo please don't tell me you forgot to take
my gun” with a snapping tone.
Me: “Why are we walking so slow?” I'm behind him.
He is quiet.
Me: “If I got shot and I make it alive here I will shoot
your ass for leaving my guns in the house”
We stand still.
Me: “What is going....” I was interrupted by a sound of
revving motorbikes. The motorbikes flashed a light on
us and we are standing in the middle.
Me: “If I die here I will make your life a living hell” Our
backs are facing each other...
The two motorbikes came towards with a board
written on our names on it... Samkelo & Nompendulo
I was confused on what was going on here.
What amazed me is that our motorbikes were brought
in front of us. On both motorbikes the was two chains
and when my eyes followed those two chains there
was a big black steel ring it looked so heavy...
When I was looking around....
I found him kneeling in front of me...
What??
Samkelo: “The first time I met you my life was a mess
and you gave me purpose to love again and you loved
me even when I flopped big time but you forgave me
gave me unconditionally love...” he was kneeling with
403 | P a g e
one knee.
Is this what I think it is?
My man looked so sexy in that position and I wanted to
kiss him. My eyes were filled with tears....
The motorbikes were revving out loudly now!
Samkelo: “Will you marry me....” I couldn't believe my
ears right now what if I'm dreaming?
Me: “Am I dreaming?” tears fell out...Bloody
hormones.
Samkelo: “No you're not dreaming babe it is
happening” he smiled and his eyes were teary...
Me: “Yes!!I will marry you” I was screaming out loud
jumping up and down.
He put a sparkling ring on my hand. He got up and
kissed me so dearly I was still jumping up and down.
He held my hand to our motorbike she told that I had
to get in the motorbike we need to do it we will rave
our motorbikes trying to go with this heavy metal ring
chained on our motorbikes.
After that we sat there for an hour and they had
ongratulated us on our engagement and it was done in
a gangster way as we are the GANGSTERS IN LOVE!
Late we went home pity he refused the sexy again and
we were cuddling in our bed.
Me: “Thanks for planning this for mine babe” I'm in his
chest.
Samkelo: “When I said I love you I meant it and I'm
looking forward to meet my son and you my
404 | P a g e
fiancée soon to be my wife” he said with self-
satisfaction.
We agreed that we will tell my friends the good news
on dinner because they were not there. I created
a story of telling that he proposed on a dinner for two.
As it Saturday I'm planning a surprise party for him I
want to appreciate him and I love him so much but I’m
experiencing pains which comes and goes but I won't
tell him because he will exaggerates taking to the
hospital.
Thabi: “Are you okay mngani?” She is in Durban with
Sakhile he was there in our engagement as he is one of
us.
Me: “Yeah I'm fine sweetheart”
They helped me to help me with his party. Sakhi said
he will kidnap him to get in the Party we all refused his
plan. We planned that Kat will take him to the one of
the restaurants in near home.
I spent my Saturday with my friends and Sakhi planning
my man's surprise party. Nontu went back to
Joburg after my surprise party yesterday she was on
night shift but she will come tomorrow at night for
Samkelo's surprise. My birthdate was on the 14th and
his is on the 17th we are 2 days apart.
Pains were coming and go but I slept alone because he
was watching cricket with Sakhi and Andile so
I'm not interested in sport so I went to sleep.
When I woke in the morning pains were sharp but not
405 | P a g e
that bad I all go to the hospital when pains are worse
not now. He was sleeping so peaceful next to me him
facing on my direction. He is so cute even when he is
sleeping he pouts a little when he is asleep.
I move a little trying to get of the bed to take a bath or
shower. I managed to get off from the bed without
waking him up. When I turned to make my way on the
bathroom....
Samkelo: “Good morning babe...” with that deep sexy
voice.
I thought I will get off but he caught me.
Me: “Morning babe”
Samkelo: “Sit I will run a bath for you” he yawned and
got up. He went to the bathroom.
Nxaa I wanted to take a bath in shower but when he is
awake I might forget about shower. He came
in after a while.
Samkelo: “Go and bath my love I will make bed” I went
to bathroom when he started to make a bed.
He found a nanny for but I made it clear that I want
someone who is related to him so he found his cousin
on his mother's side. Nokulunga is his cousins he is
studying at Unisa so she wanted a job for taking care of
herself. So today she is coming and I must face
MaNdlovu and yes she is coming to
drop her off.
I went to take a bath so when I went out I was naked
I'm not planning to get dress it so hot and this bloody
406 | P a g e
air-conditioning is not working.
Samkelo: “And then?”
Me: “It’s hot so I can't get dress” I snapped. He lifted
his hands up as he surrenders; he knows what's best
for him.
Samkelo: “Breakfast is ready babe” he looked at me he
sat on the edge of the bed looking at me pains are
starting to become worse but it still comes and goes.
Me: “I'm not hungry babe” He frowned.
Samkelo: “Go get dressed we are going to the doctor”
he went to the closet.
Me: “I'm fine it’s just...” I stopped when I saw his facial
expression.
Samkelo: “I said now!” he shouted.
I look at him and frowned he came back with my pitch
long lacy dress and slippers. He threw it on the bed and
he went out of the room.
I got dress when I was done I made my way to living
and I found him pacing up and down.
Samkelo: “Give me that” he stretched his hand to take
my bag I had no choice I gave it to him and we went
off.
When we got to the doctor luckily it was empty we
found other two pregnant women there.
I'm due on the 23rd but he was here exaggerating the
whole situation so I must follow his orders or else we
will fight about it. When it was our time to get it.
Samkelo: “Hey doctor. She is experiencing pains and
407 | P a g e
she don't want to eat” he told the doctor and I have
him a death stare.
Doc: “I would like to ask you some question Miss
Mazibuko” she looked at my file.
Me: “Okay Doc...”
Doc: “When did you experienced the pains in your
abdomen?”
Me: “I started to feel pains on Friday night but I
thought it was caused by shock” When I remember so
well I felt pain in AK’s car in Friday I was shocked
thinking that he wants to kill me.
Samkelo: “And you didn't tell me because?”
Doc: “Sir I would like to talk to my patient”
He gave doc a deadly stare but she didn't care about it
I hope she is used to crazy fathers.
Doc: “I would like you to lay in bed I need to check
you”
I went to the bad and he helped me to lay in bed the
doctor told him to take my panty off and he did.
The doctor I must lift my up she needs to check
something.
The doctor put two fingers in my velvet...
Samkelo: “What are you doing to her you're hurting
her”
Doc: “I would appreciate to do my job in peace” He
kept quiet but his face was saying otherwise.
Doc: “It’s the contractions your cervixe is starting to
dailates that's why you're experiencing pains
408 | P a g e
in your abdomen”
Samkelo: “The baby is coming?” his eyes were all out.
Drama!
Doc: “Not yet it might take hours or days women are
different as their bodies”
Samkelo: “Why she is experiencing pains if the baby is
not coming as in now?”
Doc: “Her contractions are starting as...”she was
interrupted by another questions...
Samkelo: “Do I need to take her to hospital?”
Doc: “No not now but when it’s gotten worse please do
so”
I haven't said anything or ask anything to the doctor as
he was asking so many questions in one time and now I
need to go.
Samkelo: “Thanks Doc!” I tried to get up he stood up
and help me to get up from the chair and thank the
doctor and we went off.
When we got home at 08:50am so I went to our room
took off that dress I was wearing I laid on bed naked
and he came in.
Samkelo: “Are you sure you're okay?”
Me: “Yeah I'm okay” he looked at me I don't know
what's to say now.
I think I fell asleep when I woke up he was sleeping
next to me on his vest and boxer ncooah my man took
off his clothes and got in bed because I was naked and
fell asleep on my side. I took a towel and wrapped it
409 | P a g e
and he was asleep I went to the kitchen to make
something to eat but the tv was on and there were
voices talking and laughing. I wanted to go and take my
gun but I heard a voice familiar to
Mntungwa's voice...
I went back quickly to the bedroom and he was
sleeping so peaceful but I had to wake him up...
Me: “Babe” I shook him. He woke up and sat quickly.
Samkelo: “You need to go to hospital?” his eyes were
out.
Me: “No I'm fine I think Mntungwa is in the living
room”
Samkelo: “Okay. I was dreaming about you giving birth
in our bed”
Me: “Sorry babe you were dreaming I'm fine” I brushed
his shoulder.
He went to the couch and took his short wore it and he
pecked my lips and he went out.
Having a child when your first child old will turn you in
something else. He is obsessed and telling how to do
things I'm sure he wants to tell me how to walk. I'm a
fast walker naturally but he has a problem with it he
says I had to slow down ever since I got pregnant.
I wore the dress I was wearing and made my way to
the kitchen but I found his mother chopping I think she
is preparing lunch. I greeted her and I didn't even offer
help and she know what I'm going through has a
woman and worse she is a qualified midwife nurse so
410 | P a g e
she must give me a break.
MaNdlovu: “Are you okay?”
Me: “Yebo mah I'm okay” I drank juice.
MaNdlovu: “You're sweating. Labour contractions?”
Me: “It’s so hot mah I'm sweating because of heat” I
left the room. She annoys me right now I will go to my
room. The pains are coming now I went to take a
shower yes in the shower I need cold water to cool this
down. I skipped the lunch I wasn't hungry after hitting
shower I went to the bed I was turning and tossing...
I think I fell asleep and it is dark in the bedroom I think
its dark outside and I'm wet of sweat. I took my robe
and made my way to the living room I found Nokuthula
and MaNdlovu watching tv I greeted and sat down.
MaNdlovu: “How are the labour contractions now?”
Me: “They come and go”

Chapter 26

MaNdlovu: “How far apart?”

Me: “I didn't check...”
MaNdlovu: “Tell me if they are worse”
Nokuthula is quiet.
Me: “Nokuthula sisi unjani?” I need to have a
relationship with her because she will be the nanny of
411 | P a g e
my baby.
Nokuthula: “I'm good sisi unjani?”
Me: “I'm okay I think”
Me: “Where is Samkelo?”
MaNdlovu: “They went out with their father”
I went to the kitchen and pour myself an orange juice
went back to the living room after some while I
was tired of sitting I wanted to lay down just to rest.
Its 22:30pm now he is still not here and this pain are
driving me crazy alone in this bedroom. When
I'm pacing up and down its feels little better but if I lay
it becomes worse. I went to the closet took all
our clothes down from their hangers and I will pace up
and down till I feel better.
I decided that I will go to hospital when my water has
broken Thabi once told me that nurses made
her to go up and down for her cervix to dilates so I
won't do that shit so I will pace up and down in my
house and I'll go there when the baby is on its way.
At 23:20pm I heard footsteps I think its Lwandile or its
someone and I didn't care about it.
I was really sweating and pains were worse...
Nompe. breath in....breath....out...
He came in laughing that really annoys me think of
what the pain I'm in I will never have sex in
anytime soon.
Samkelo: “Yini?” he stopped laughing when he sees all
the clothes in our bedroom floor.
412 | P a g e
I will not answer that stupid question. I was pacing up
and down hanging his clothes and take them back in
the closet breathing in and out...
Samkelo: “Are you okay?” he stood in front of me.
Me: “I'm fine!” I shouted.
I felt as if I was in hell the way I was sweating and I'm
naked but I'm still sweating.
Samkelo: “Why are you sweating then?” If he doesn’t
move in front of me I will slap him so hard.
Me: “Move!” I pushed him.
Samkelo: “I was trying to help...”he said that in a lower
voice and I heard him.
He went to take a shower and he went to bed naked.
It’s our rule in this bedroom but I don't have time for
that he switched on the air-conditioning after some
time the heat was slowing down I went to sit on the
floor it was cold and I slept on the floor naked it felt so
nice...
I woke up in bed I think I went there myself or he
helped me to get in bed....
On my side it was cold as if I peed on myself. I touched
my thighs and it was wet....
I switched on the side lamp on my side he was sleeping
so peaceful I wanted to strangle him for impregnate
me it's his fault I'm in pains.
Me: “Aaaaawh”
I shook him he was in deep sleep I shook him again but
he was still sleeping.
413 | P a g e
Me: “Samkelo!” I shook him but i think he is not
sleeping he was pretending as if he is asleep.
Me: “Aaaawh”
I slapped him hard and he jump off the bed and took
his gun out...
Me: “Voetsek put that away. My water just broke I
need you to take me to the hospital” I tried to get up
from bed.
He quickly came to my side and asked me so many
questions...
Me: “Samkelo get me something to wear the baby is on
the way!!” I screamed.
The pains have worsened now...
Samkelo: “Mom!!” he screamed.
After some while his mother and Mntungwa came
rushing but Mntungwa made a quickly turn because
I was naked.
Me: “My water broke I think 10 minutes ago I need to
go to hospital!” I shouted.
Mntungwa is outside asking questions he really gets in
my nerve now...
MaNdlovu: “Sleep in the bed I need to check how your
cervix has dilated”
I remembered that she is a qualified midwife nurse so I
did as she said.
MaNdlovu: “We won't make it in hospital I can feel the
head of the baby”
I wailed...
414 | P a g e
MaNdlovu: “Samkelo I need warm water towel and go
take my medical kit in the closet on my bedroom and
call Nokuthula for me. Hurry!”
I've never experienced this pain even the bullets to
take out the bullet on your body is easy than this.
I felt something on my vagina. She slapped my thighs
for me to open them.
MaNdlovu: “It’s time I need you to push for me”
I don't know when Samkelo came back but he was
holding my hand...
MaNdlovu: “Push!”
I was pushing and I was crying at the same times. Next
time I will use injection....
She slapped my thighs again I wish I can get up and
slap that witch so hard in a way that she can feel my
hands in her cheek.
MaNdlovu: “Yeyii wena Push!”
I pushed so hard...
MaNdlovu: “Good! Take a deep breath and push for
the last time”
Samkelo was wiping my sweat I wish to slap him so
hard.
Samkelo: “Push baby for the last time”
I pushed...... I felt something getting outside from
me.... I took a long breath after that....
MaNdlovu: “It’s a boy!”
04:30 in the morning I was officially someone's
mother...
415 | P a g e
I heard a cry....I just cried too. After some minutes she
put him on my chest....
I've never saw beautiful and cute creature on earth like
who is on my chest right now. He is so cute and I've
just fell in love with him. I can't believe my womb
carried such a cute boy like this...
I felt something falling on my shoulder. It is Samkelo he
is crying he is looking at us...
Samkelo: “He is beautiful” he touched him on his little
back.
He kissed my forehead and kissed him on his head. His
mother was busy on my doing something I don't know
in my vagina.
Mntungwa: “The ambulance is here!” he shouted.
She cleaned me and helped me to get dressed...
Samkelo was holding him and I've just saw the
other side of him....
Samkelo: “Samkelo Khumalo Jr. Another is Amkelwa”
he kissed his little forehead.
Lwandile came in to help me going to the ambulance
along with Nokuthula. He got in still
Holding him and I slept on stretch after some time he
took my hand and kissed it.
Samkelo: “I love you” The ambulance went off after
the paramedics attended me. Samkelo's mother told
paramedics something I didn't understood because
they were talking in medical language that I don't know
and I don't understand.
416 | P a g e
When we got to the hospital the nurses took my baby
away and the doctor came in to examine me.
She told me that I'm okay it’s just that she will put drip
after losing water but it’s not serious.
Samkelo: “He is beautiful baby” he kissed my hand.
I just smiled at him.
Me: “We need to name him”
Samkelo: “He is Samkelo Junior and another name of
him is Amkelwa” he had smile on his face.
Me: “And Sbongokuhle”
I don't see anyone accept us in this room.... Am I the
only who had sex in the world or......
This ward is designated for me??
He smiled and leaned over for a kiss. We kissed but we
were interrupted by two nurses and the
Wheeling a cot behind them it was the doctor.
Doc: “I'm happy to tell you that your baby is perfectly
fine and healthy”
Samkelo: “Thanks Doctor” His parents and siblings
came in including Kat.
MaNdlovu: “Dr Zwane it good to see you”
Doc: “Matron Khumalo it’s good to see you too”
MaNdlovu: “How is my grandson doctor?”
Doc: “He is your grandson? He is perfectly fine”
MaNdlovu: “Yeah he is my grandson I'm old”
Doc: “Mthokozisi or Samkelo” she looked my man.
Mandlovu: “Samkelo”
Doc: “I'm sorry I didn't recognise you it’s just that I'm
417 | P a g e
busy” she stretched her hand to my man and they
shook hands.
Kat: “Can we see the baby please” I know he wants to
go somewhere or to someone I think he has someone
or he is busy.
His grandfather was the first to take him then his
grandmother then they followed. After that the
baby went to the children ward and he was in my bed
holding me.
"Mr Khumalo!" someone says.
I woke tried to take my gun... Nxaa I'm in hospital I'm
not at home so I need...
Nurse: “I need her to rest but she can't when you're
here sleeping in her bed” he frowned and he got off
from the bed.
Samkelo: “The doctor will be here in a minute” She is
the nurse and she look likes she is her mid 40's she is
no nonsense taker I can tell by looking at her face and
voice. He went out the ward and I went to take a bath
after that my baby came in and I breastfed him the
nurse was there to guide and teach me how to
breastfeed.
He is so cute I look at him as he is sucking I just love
him I've never felt like these before he is my everything
and I love and I will die before they hurt him....
Samkelo: “This is the best gift I ever got in my life” he is
sucking. I've never seen him like this I know his soft
side but not this soft.
418 | P a g e
I heard what he said but I was still looking at this
beautiful little creature I'm holding in my arms.
My sister and friends came in...
Thabi: “Ncooah can I hold him”
I gave her.
Nontu was quite looking at him with soft face. In fact
scares her off I remember when she saw Gwajo for the
first time she was so scared to hold him...
Thabi: “Go to your Aunt” she gave him to Nontu. She
freaked out and froze like a statue I don't know why
but we as people fear something big or useless things.
At last she took him to her arms and she was quite
after that holding him to her arms....
The doctor came in.....
Doc: “How is my patient?”
Me: “I'm good doctor”
I don't know why they don't visit hours here because
it’s still early for them being here but Samkelo won't
argue with some silly doctors or nurses to see his son.
Junior will be spoilt to the core I just hope he will not
be rude like his father.
Doc: “I have great news for you. I will discharge you
afternoon”
Me: “Uhm thanks doctor” This is written Samkelo all
over I'm just hope he didn't scare the Doctor off to
discharge me or something like that. The doctor went
out after she was done the nurse took Junior away.
Nontu: “We have to go now"-Nontu says after some
419 | P a g e
long time.
The is something wrong with her and I need to find out
what's wrong when I get out of here.
Something doesn't de l right about her quietness.
They bid goodbyes and they went off.
Samkelo: “Maka Junior” he brushed my hand.
I blushed
Samkelo: “Thanks for giving me a son and thanks for
loving me...”
Me: “Thanks for loving me too and taking care of me
through these past hectic months” I say looking at
him.
Samkelo: “He is worth it babe” he smiled.
He leaned over and pecked my lips.
Samkelo: “Babe”
Me: “Yeah love”
Samkelo: “It's my birthday today...” he looked down.
Flip!
Me: “I'm so sorry Mbulazi I forgot” I brushed his little
beard.
Samkelo: “I don't blame you baby it was hectic last few
hours”
I look deep in his eyes I tighten my grip in his hand.
Me: “Happy birthday to you my love!”
His wish came true for him to share a birth date with
his son.
Me: “I'm happy your wish came true for you to share a
birthday with him”
420 | P a g e
Samkelo: “When I look at him I just love him and I
thank God for him to be in your womb before
my accident the is the reason I'm alive.... My soul is
connected to his...” that was deep and he was
thinking hard. His tears fell in both of our hands as we
were holding hands....That was tense.
For the first time I heard a word God coming from his
mouth. Having a child can bring softness in you never
in million years I thought a hardcore heartless gangster
like Samkelo “Ta SK” or “Axe”
Can say a word God.
Me: “Come here babe” He took off his sneakers to join
me in hospital bed. I laid my head in his chest...
Samkelo: “I'm so happy that you will go back to normal
self”
I see He is starting now.
Me: “I think I was not that bad”
Samkelo: “Haa at sometimes I was even scare to fall
asleep thinking that you want to kill me” he tried to
hold a laugh.
Me: “Haa babe it was your baby and hormones don't
blame me”
He was quite...
Samkelo: “The best and favourite was last week on
your surprise birthday party when you were shouting"
Help me! Help me!” he says mimicking my voice. We
cracked out of laughter.
Samkelo: “So Mrs Khumalo soon-to-be we need to talk
421 | P a g e
about making you my wife lawfully and traditionally”
Wow being a father has brought some brains too and I
love this. Us our little family.
Samkelo: “I spoke to my father and he said he will
write a letter to your family. I will first pay ihlawulo
for my baby then pay for lobola same day”
I'm blushing and feeling loved in any corner and in
every way.
Me: “I have to go home after two weeks to inform my
parents and they need to see the baby”
I’ve just remembered that I planned surprise party for
him today but things took spin and I'm here trapped in
the hospital and I couldn't even speak to my friends
and sister to cancel the restaurant venue and the party
to be held at our house and my phone.
At 15:13pm the doctor came in and viola I'm going
home with my baby but I think it still early to go home
but when the doctor says I'm free to go I'm going.
Kat came in alone and he is here to fetch us to go
home. I was walking by myself but it was painful but I
can do it I've took bullets out of my body so this is
nothing. He was holding my Junior and Kat was
carrying our bags. We got in the car and we drove off.
Me: “I'm sure I will be assigned soon to the operations”
Silence.
Samkelo must not do that... Either he like sit or not I
will be back in the gang being a mother doesn't mean I
will quit I'm not quitting!
422 | P a g e
Samkelo: “At least when he is 3 months old or more”
Never! I have a full-time nanny so I will do anything I
like and I must have a strong bond with her and more
than she is family to Samkelo but she better respects
me as I will to her.
Me: “Mhm...” I looked out the window.
Lwandile: “Mhm okay parents” He must thank his
brother's presence but I'll let it slide.
He said he moved the baby cot to our bedroom he
won't let his baby to sleep alone in that big nursery.
He said I don't have motherly instincts.
He did all the work in nursery by himself I was seven
months pregnant so I didn't have time I was so
annoyed and making all crazy things.
Kat: “Let me hold him for you and he will take your
bags” he opened the door for me to take him in my
arm.
I gave him My Samkelo Junior and I got out of the car.
Why he is stopping now.
Kat: “Hamba phambili ungazi ungiwise ngiphethe
ingane” he pushed Samkelo and he waited for me to
follow Samkelo and he was behind me so we kept
walking.
He opened door....
“Surprise!!”
He was so shocked to see all those people I'm glad they
did it.
Samkelo: “I almost fainted” he looked around.
423 | P a g e
This was a happy birthday Samkelo and welcome home
Junior. It so beautiful!
Me: “Happy birthday Sthandwa sami” I held his hand.
Sakhi: “I wanted to kidnap you from the hospital to get
you here for your birthday”
Everybody laughs here thinking he is being crazy but
we understand what he means. He would have done
that if he was not at hospital.
-------------------
Eish the last this past four months have been hectic my
lobola negotiations were on the first week of
February and he also paid iHlawulo for Junior. He is a
clone of his father. His smile makes my heart melt. His
father is taking every minutes of his life.
I remember on the last year's Christmas when he was
eight days old he bought new clothes for him in these
many clothes he has he was wearing a little red T-shirt
and a little black jean and all-star for kid like his father.
I spent the Christmas with my family he was staying in
Mtunzini he said he won't go anywhere he wants to be
around his son. He is obsessed with our boy and
Amahle.
Gwajo is a 1 year and 5 months old he is walking now
and troubles has escalated in that Andile don't want his
son to be punish or beaten I remember this one day I
was at their house here he came with
Thabi's Brazilian hairs with a scissor when we noticed
him he already that to cut it. Thabi was mad just to thin
424 | P a g e
ka 28inch Brazilian hairs to cut by her son when she
wanted to beat the shit of him Andile came in he said
“Don't want my child to be beaten next time if he has
done something wrong or damaged your things just tell
me” when she explained what happened he said “I will
buy that fucken Brazilian shit of yours”
Nokubonga and I had a great relationship I haven't
been assigned in one of the missions. As it is
Friday today we're going to Weenen in Escort it will be
the second time I went there. The first time I
went there it was when Junior was 1 month and he
was crying nonstop. Samkelo was so worried he
told his father that Junior is crying nonstop so
Mntungwa told us to come in Weenen. The way he
was crying it was unbearable and my parents told me
that maybe he need to go to Khumalo homestead in
Wineen so we went there as we entered the gate he
stopped crying and I feed him and he slept without
rocking him up and down.
Samkelo: “SJ ntwana yami” he came in the living room.
I don't want him to be called SJ because he might turn
to be a gangster just like his father.
Me: “His name is Junior”
He sits next to me in the couch and pecks my lips. He
took his son and tickle him a little and I love his laughs.
He runs his hand in my thighs...
Me: “Ai babe in front of him?” I pushed his hand.
He laughs and continued to tickle him. He took his
425 | P a g e
bottle and fed him. I don't know how he does
that when I feed him it takes time for him to fell asleep
but his father it so easy it was true what he said about
their spirit being connected.
He went to put him on his cot and Nokubonga was on
her room I think she is packing her clothes for this
weekend as we are all going this afternoon. He came
back to sit next to me he started to be himself... His
hand was brushing my thigh...
Me: “Babe” I looked at him and it was on my velvet...
Luckily I was wearing panty.
Samkelo: “I wanted to check if you shaved or not” he
kissed me.
I broke the kiss...
Me: “We need to prepare babe...”
Samkelo: “We still have time” he picked me up...
We were kissing when he took few steps to go to our
bedroom...
*Clear throat*
When he turned his head he gently put me down... It
was Nokubonga... I don't want her to see our private
life. He quickly disappeared in the passage now I must
apologize to her about what she saw.
Me: “I'm sorry sisi about what you've just saw” She
laughs a little and looks down when she sees that
I'm looking at her.
Nokubonga: “There's no problem sisi I understand” she
smiled.
426 | P a g e
Me: “Even though sisi I don't want you to see that we
shouldn't behave like that around the house” I want to
respect her even we are paying her but she shouldn't
see our private life.
Samkelo is naughty and always horny I remember few
months back we both agreed to wait for six months to
have sex but after three months things changed. It was
at night we were sleeping on our bedroom and Junior
on his cot here in our bedroom. He put pillows
between us for us not to touch
each other when we're sleeping.... I was sleeping when
I felt his hand on my waist and he was breathing in my
ear....
Samkelo: “Babe...”
I kept quiet. He turned me to face him when I opened
my eyes he was looking at me with eyes full of list and
hunger.
Samkelo: “I can't carry on like this”
I wasn't smiling I just looked at him.
Samkelo: “Babe I miss you so much I can't hold
myself... It's a torture to see you naked”
I couldn't believe him we both agreed on this.
Samkelo: “Please babe I'm begging you just one round I
promise I won't ask you anything after this” he is sexier
when he is begging and I'm feeling sorry for him now.
Me: “We'll have sex after six months that we agreed
on” I turn to sleep my back facing him.
He kept quite I don't like to torture him but we must
427 | P a g e
wait. He took a deep sigh and slept after that. I waited
for two hours
When I turned to look at him he was sleeping.... I run
my hand to his manhood and I grabbed it and
I gently rubbed it....I pecked his lips and he slowly
opened his eyes I continued the kiss and he smiled a
little...
Samkelo: “Are you sure babe?” he asked when he
broke the kiss.
I nodded.
He woke up took and wore my robe he went to Junior's
cot he gently took him and he went out our bedroom.
After minutes he came took off the gown and came in
bed.
Me: “Where is my baby?”
He smiled.
Samkelo: “I went to put him on his nursery he can't see
his parents making love in front of him” he smiled and
he pulled so close to him and he kissed a little attitude
out of me.... I'm wet now. His hand is on my velvet...
Samkelo: “You haven't shaved” he stroked my pubic
hairs. He doesn’t like it so I knew if I didn't shave it
would decrease the chance of us to have sex before
time...
He got on top of me and he was kissing me so
passionately when things heated up I broke the kiss he
got off looking at what was I doing. I opened draw on
the side table on our bed and took condoms...
428 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Haah babe” we don't use it but now I've just
gave birth not so while so we need to use it.
I just gave him a stare.
Samkelo: “I'll do the withdrawal babe I promise” he
crossed his fingers.
Me: “Okay... Make sure you're do the withdrawal or
else I will shoot your ass” our faces are so close to each
other.
We kissed again and things heated up again his hands
were all over me I felt his finger on my velvet he was
finger fucking me. In no minute he was on top of me
fucking me harder than before.... I missed him so much
we can't resist each other....
There's no decision you can make with him when sex is
included so you have to calm down and chill he can
make you late or convince you even not to go he is so
naughty and always have plan when it comes to sex.
He made me to snick out of my parents’ house at night
after uMkhehlo and took me to
Mtunzini Lodge when he planned a romantic night for
us when I came back in the ewe hours I found my
grandma in the kitchen I was so ashamed I was
avoiding her those days.
We laughed about it. She has a boyfriend I haven't met
him yet but Samkelo doesn't know he will exaggerate
about it so once in a while she goes to school to do her
work and doing assignments I love how she dedicated
to her schoolwork and she manages so well.
429 | P a g e
We've done all traditional steps to the wedding in this
past few months only thing left now is White wedding
and traditional wedding which is on October so I'm
planning it and Samkelo isn't helping much but he said
he want him and junior to wear matching suits. Junior
is big baby with cute chubby cheeks he is his father
younger version and he likes to laugh at all. Samkelo
loves to tuck him in his cot read him stories and recite
his clan names holding his little hand till he falls
asleep.
At 14:20pm we were ready to go Lwandile came in
luckily Lwandile's baby mama is going with us so
I won't be alone there...
There's this Aunty Zethu who is Samkelo's aunty.
Mntungwa has 5 siblings that's makes 6 with him.
He has three sisters Who are Zethu Fikile and Smangele
and brothers are Ziphezinhle Simphiwe and
Mntungwa who real name is Melusi Zachariah Khumalo
but they call him with his clan name
Mntungwa even his children call him Mntungwa or Dad
or Tyma. His older Aunty Zethu is a problem talking too
much making rules for everyone so I won't face her
alone. She told me that I have cover my head and
shoulders because Samkelo has paid lobola I don't like
her at all...
Me: “Hey guys!”
Lwandile is the responsible father to his daughter and
loving boyfriend and baby sassy to Rachel and the
430 | P a g e
make a perfect couple.
Rachel: “Hey how are you?” She once said Samkelo
scares her off and asked how I make him laugh because
he is so tense.
Me: “I'm good and I can see that you good” I smiled.
They are looking at us. Samkelo took Amahle
from her mother and he followed me to the kitchen I
want to make them something to eat.
Rachel is so beautiful and slim like his man. They are
both thin and tall but their daughter is a big baby like
my Junior. Amahle is cute like her parents...
Rachel: “I hope dragon lady won't be there this
weekend” she whispered and checked if someone
is coming.
Me: “She won't miss it” I was busy making sandwich
for all of us.
She is married but she is always there I'm sure she
beats her husband she is always causing problem and
she likes to swear no wonder her in-laws don't want
her near them.
Samkelo and his brothers has their separated bedroom
outside the big house. Samkelo's bedroom is big
enough to be a four-room house in the locations it has
a jacuzzi minibar a big bed ever since we have a baby
he has a crib in his bedroom.
AK bumbed into us on our way out and Samkelo said
he will drive to Weenen in Escourt so I was sitting with
him in the back sit and Nokubonga was in front seat
431 | P a g e
with AK and he was sweating I didn't understand why
but Samkelo was enjoying to see him sweating when
Nokubonga got in front.
Nokubonga is here but on the big house so I will be my
Junior today actually all weekend we need to spend
some time with him. His father went out with his
brothers to Stradini lounge so I'm here with my boy I
need to talk to my sister....
Me: “Mtaka moo”
Nontu: “Unjani?”
Me: “Ngiyaphila unjani?”
Nontu: “Ngiyaphila...” she heaved a sigh.
Me: “We need to talk” She is quiet.
Nontu: “Yeah...” after some time.
Me: “There's something eating you up I won't rest till I
find it so you better speak about it” I always have an
influence to make her talk.
Nontu: “Don't do that...”
Me: “I will do till you speak out” Junior is making funny
noise playing with his feet.
Nontu: “Don’t do that....” her voice is breaking....
Me: “Cry sweetheart if you have to after that we will
talk about it” She just let out a sob...... It just breaks my
heart to hear her crying out like that....
Nontu: “A lot has happened” she sniffed.
Me: “What has happened?” I'm confused by what she
is saying.
Nontu: “He is......” she started to cry again. After
432 | P a g e
minutes she calms down.
Nontu: “I lost the baby....” I can't believe it why she
didn't tell me about it what happened?
Tears just came uncontrollable.
Me: “I'm so sorry to hear that Mtaka mah I can't
imagine what you're going through but I will make sure
that we'll deal with it as a family”
Nontu: “Please don't tell parents”
Me: “I won't tell them for now but eventually they will
need to know. Please take a sick leave I need you here
with me so that I can take care of yourself”
Me: “How is he taking it?”
Nontu: “So bad he is drinking his sorrows away”
Me: “You need to see a professional. I will find one and
pay for it” I need her to be better and deal with it in a
right way.
We spoke after and hung up I tuck in my baby held him
tight I won't leave without him he is my everything
that's why I need to install track in his body in case our
enemies kidnap him.
Samkelo: “Babe!” When I opened my eyes he wasn't in
bed....
Samkelo: “Babe!” I think its him who is knocking in the
middle of the night. I woke up and opened the door for
him.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry to wake you up my love” He is
tipsy... I can tell the way he speaks and his eyes.
Me: “No problem babe” I went to bed.
433 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Do you know that I lo...”
Me: “Shhhh!” He'll wake him up.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry babe” his hands are up. He knows
me too well.
He disappeared to the bathroom after some minutes
he came back wearing a boxer making silly poses.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm trying to charm you” he made
another silly pose and he almost fall.
I was laughing at him sometimes he can be something
else. He came to my side of the bed and pulled the
duvet off and its freezing here....
Samkelo: “I want to keep your warm babe” he brushed
my shoulder.
Me: “Get in bed to be warm” I'm little annoyed.
He got in bed and he noticed that Junior is in our bed...
Samkelo: “Boy boy” he gently touched his chubby
cheeks.
Me: “If he wakes up you will put him back to sleep” I
said softly I don't want him to wake up.
He gently takes him to his crib and put his blanket and
his pacifier in his mouth. He came back to bed and
found me pretending as I'm asleep...
Samkelo: “I want to keep you warm my love” he turned
me to face him.
Me: “Why are you always horny?”
Samkelo: “Do you blame me? With that tight pussy of
yours I can't live without it” he smirked.
He kissed me so deeply and passionately when things
434 | P a g e
heated up I got on top and I felt him inside me all of
him I started to move gently up and down......
Samkelo: “Mhmm it's feels so good” he groaned. He is
holding tight on my waist....
Me: “Ahhh”
I stopped when I heard something on the door....
It’s a knock...
Samkelo: “Eish I hate being disturbed” I got off him.
Thando: “Bhuti!” she knocked harder.
He wore his pants quickly went to the door...
Thando: “Please help me” she cried and stood next to
the bed.
Samklo: “Thando what is going on?” he came towards
the bed. His shaft is still erected he must to
the bathroom.
Thando: “Nompe please help me” she is crying and her
tears don't scare me at all.
Samkelo: “Thando speak! What is wrong?”
Thando: “I got a link and it's contained a...” she cried
louder than before.
Samkelo: “I'll slap you now. Speak!” that came out loud
and her is angry now.
She sits to the bed next to me and she has her phone
on the hand. She stretched her hand to give me her
phone to look at it. Her brother took one step to her he
grabbed him with upper arm.... I quickly got up...
Me: “Babe calm down” I tried to move Samkelo's hand
to her arm
435 | P a g e
She is crying and look scared of her brother. I clicked to
the link on the phone......
Thixo wami!...
Me: “So what do you want?” after looking at that clip.
Thando: “Please help me to erase it and delete it from
the sender” she is crying...

Chapter 27

Samkelo quickly took a Thando's phone on my hand.

We both looking at him now.
He threw the phone on the wall.
Samkelo: “Yeyii wena what the fuck is that” he gave a
deadly look and eyes full of anger...
Thando: “I'm...Sorry”
Me: “Babe I need my laptop now”
When I started to work....
Kat: “Where is she?” he budged in our room. He will
make things worse than it is now.
She is wailing now.
Kat: “Sex tape? Thando sex tape? You are sleeping
around now?” with a deep voice that sends shivers
on my spine.
She isn't answering she is crying....
Me: “I'm going to work in another room here” I took
436 | P a g e
my things and I left the room.
When I was outside the room there's the room facing
the big house and the lights are on. I went there
I need to work in peace I don't want noise and I didn't
want to get involved I left them when
Kat came in and I know it won't end well. When I
opened the door it was locked. I knocked. It means
there's someone inside I can't go to Lwandile's room I
just need an empty room I can do this in peace.
After knocking twice the door opened...
AK: “And then?”
Me: “Ai awukame maarn I need to do some work in
here” AK can be something else.
I went to sit down on the table...
Nokulunga: “Babe...” she came from the bathroom...
The shock of my life.
Me: “Nokubonga!” What is she doing in his room on a
towel coming from bathroom...?
Me: “Your cousin will be here in no minutes so make
sure you get out of here”
AK: “What are you doing here?”
A knock....
She quickly went to hide in the closet. He went to open
the door...
Samkelo & Kat: “Is it still there?” they both budge in.
AK: “Give me few minutes then I'll be done” AK-47
went to the bathroom.
He came back smiling...
437 | P a g e
Me: “I deleted it now I need to find who posted it”
Thando came in sobbing....
Kat: “Now we aren't sleeping because of you” he
pointed to her. She stood near the door.
Thando: “Thank you Nompe for helping me out”
I laughed and all eyes were on me...
Me: “I didn't do it for you Thando but I did it for your
brother” I focused on the screen in front of me.
Quiet.
Me: “Do you think I can do this for the person who put
something on my food for me to have an
allergy?”
When I look at her she drops her eyes.
Samkelo: “What are you talking about?” he frowned.
Silence.
Me: “Do your emember when I had an allergic
reaction?”
Samkelo: “Yeah”
Me: “She is the one who put something on my
breakfast”
Samkelo: “She did what?” he got up from the chair...
Me: “Fuck!” I banged my laptop.
Me: “Who is your boyfriend?”
Thando: “Senzo…” she looked down on her feet.
Me: “His surname?” I'm standing now.
Thando: “Fakude”
Me: “Go to your room now!”
She was still sitting when I turned my head on her
438 | P a g e
direction.
Me: “Now!” that came out loud. Shit is about to go
down
Kat: “AK get her out of here”
Me: “Don't be bitch wena take her out” I pointed the
bathroom.
He went to the bathroom slowly and when he came
back Nokubonga was behind him on a towel....
Samkelo & Kat: “What the fuck is going on here?”
when their saw it was Nokubonga their cousin.
Me: “Nokubonga go your room now!” I pushed her
out.
Samkelo took a chair wanted to attack AK for sleeping
with his cousin.
Me: “SK not now. We have bigger problems than that
so calm down”
Kat: “What is it Nompe?”
Me: “This is Rambo's style. There's new enemy in town
and him us using your sister to get into you” I
brushed my head roughly.
AK: “Who is Rambo?”
Me: “IT geek who taught me to hack in varsity”
Samkelo: “The one who hacks banks and his mother's
WhatsApp?”
Me: “Yeah”
I need to make some call.
Him: “Shlama”
Me: “Ntwana Ngigrand nawe ugrand. I need Rambo's
439 | P a g e
10's” the phone is on the loudspeaker.
Him: “Shlama you didn't invite me in uMkhehlo”
Me: “Your invite for the wedding is ready”
Him: “Okay. I'll send it now now” he hung up. He
always doesn’t have time to talk.
Me: “We must prepare for the worst; shit is about to
happen” I sat down.
I opened my laptop I need to track where he is at least
to know his location will be easy to keep an
eye on him.
At 03:45 am I managed to trace him down he is in
Durban no wonder we haven't see Thando in a long
time she was busy with him.
Me: “He is in Durban so we need to keep a close eye on
him”
Kat: “I need to make some few calls”
SK and AK were on the phone too we need to be
updated.
The weekend was great at Weenen because Aunty
Zethu was not there but this Rambo thing is not right
soon or later he has to be eliminated.
My phone....
Me: “Hey mom”
Mom: “Voetsek wena where is she?” It's the first time
hearing my mother swearing at me.
Me: “Mom...” I'm disappointed.
Mom: “When was the last time you spoke to her?” she
snapped.
440 | P a g e
Me: “Friday night”
Mom: “Fuck!”
Me: “What is going on?”
Mom: “There's an incoming call I'll call you later”
It's sounds as if she is driving..
Another phone call I'm famous this morning...
Andile: “Nomps we have a problem”
Me: “What problem Ta?”
Andile: “We need to meet in the warehouse in the next
30 minutes”
Me: “Sure Ta” I hung up.
What problem.
I went to the kitchen found Samkelo feeding Junior.
Me: “We need to go to the warehouse” I kissed my
boy.
I called Nokubonga to come she is taking him to the
doctor for his vaccination he was ready to go and their
bodyguards were ready to take them to the doctor.
Junior has 2 bodyguards they are one of us and the
other four will stay here.
We got ready and went to the garage go in the car and
we drove off.
Me: “Babe I suggest that we need to put a tracker
Junior”
One sarcastically laughs....
Samkelo: “You're joking right?” he isn't even looking at
me.
Me: “I'm not joking babe. We're playing a dangerous
441 | P a g e
game our baby will be their first target so I don't want
or unlike a headless chicken trying to find when they
kidnap him”
Samkelo: “Over my dead body”
This fight will take years but I will do it eventually I
won't put my child at risk because of his silly reasons.
When we got to the warehouse we found the others
inside the situation is tense I can tell by looking at their
face.
Andile: “Thanks for coming at a short notice” we sat
down.
Why he hasn't flew to Cape?
Andile: “I won't be at around the bush there's way
coming in our way” he brushed his head roughly.
SK: “What war”
Andile: “Thokozani and his friends stole the
merchandise that belonged to the The Scavengers”
I heard a lot of fuck around me.
Andile: “Thokozani!” he shouted...
He has bruises on his face and he is walking so slow.
Wait he was in Jo'burg in Friday.
Me: “Where is my sister?” It won't be coincidence.
Andile: “Nompe I'm doing all my best together and
bring her home safe” I quickly got up with my gun on
my hand making my way to TK
SK: “Babe calm down”
Me: “Don't tell me to calm down! Don't!” I screamed.
I'm pacing up and down. Fortunately I had my laptop I
442 | P a g e
need to track her...
TK: “Sakhi gave an order to our members on that side
to find her”
S.K gave me vodka to calm my nervous down.
Me: “Just pray they don't hurt her or else I'll rip your
heart”
THE EAGLES and THE SCAVENGERS swore that we
won't step on each other’s toe because when we do
innocent people die so we swore truce.
Andile: “We going to Joburg now”
Private Jet it is in then my sister alive I'm shaking out of
anger and shock. Her phone location is in her place but
she isn't there Sakhi went to check.
When we got to Joburg cars were already there waiting
for us. We have their stuff that idiot and his friends
stole from them.
Ta Andile's phone rang he answered and put it on
loudspeaker...
“I hope you have my stuff” he says. That is Rocket. That
man so heartless...
Andile: “I do. I give you your stuff and give her to me”
Rocket: “You're in no position to make demands. How
is Lwaluhle?”
Andile: “Man don't do that we're talking here and live
my boy out of this”
Rocket: “I'll send you address for drop off” he hung up.
I called our bodyguards and they said they are at
home. I also called Yabo just to check if they
443 | P a g e
are alright. TK is here with us he must face the heat.
After an hour Rocket send the location. We quickly
went there when we were about 20km the black
SUV were following us to the location.
Andile: “Let's do this” we opened the car doors. About
20 men came to us and led the way to
their warehouse.
Andile: “We have your merchandise so in order to get
it we need to see her”
Rocket: “Slicer don't rush things”
Slicer is Andile's name he can take out every piece of
your flesh and leave the bones with an Axe.
They took time negotiating with each other. Rocket
want usto give him Reserve Bank. Everyone knows that
Reserve Bank is our so he wants it.
Rocket's phone rang....
Rocket: “Eish sorry M....” he looked down. We can't
hear the other person he is talking to the phone isn't
on loudspeaker.
Rocket: “I'll do that now” he ended the call.
We're looking at him.
Rocket: “Take her to Waterfall city” he told his boys
Me: “I'm taking her with me”
He smiles and look at SK
Me: “I'm taking her with me”
They came with her our two guys took her and went to
the car. She will be taken to our other house in
Centurion Pretoria.
444 | P a g e
We gave them their stuff and we apologized on behalf
of TK for taking their merchandise luckily he hasn't
touched it other than well be screwed up.
We got in our cars and drove off
Me: “I won't be running like a headless chicken trying
to track the kids down”
Kat: “Yeah it sounds in appropriate but I think she has
point”
Andile: “Ai I don't want to hear it” Slicer and Axe are
agreeing together but it won't help anyone.
Kat: “Look here we have many enemies and our kids
are their targets so please try to understand”
Andile: “In which part of the body?” scratched his
head.
Me: “Head”
SK: “Forget it!” he says loud.
Kat: “Nompe has a point and I second it so you two
must stop being a pussy just go with the idea”
Andile: “So what will I tell Thabi about this madness?”
Me: “I'll organise the little holiday to Joburg for
shopping of my gown and the braidmaid's dress
then you'll offer to take care of the kids and please
make sure that Lwandile is a way too because Junior
Amahle and Lwaluhle”
SK: “So you figured it out all along?”
Me: “Yeah I've figured it all out”
Kat: “Okay next week it is then”
We're at Kat's house in Umhlanga so no one can hear
445 | P a g e
us.
--------
I woke up at 05:30am and he was not in bed I made a
bed then I went to take a shower. Today on going to
Joburg girls outing and I need us to talk about my
wedding. When I was done taking a bath I went to
Junior's room to check up on him and he was awake
but he was not crying.
Me: “Morning my boy” I tickled him.
His smile is so adorable.
Me: “Where is daddy?” I asked him he was smiling
nonstop.
I went to the kitchen to make his bottle. His car keys
are on the kitchen counter after making his bottle
I went to check in his study....
Samkelo: “Yeah. I don't understand why but I'll send it
to you” he is on the phone
Who is he talking too early in the morning? Junior
made noise so I was forced to get in the study.
Samkelo: “Morning babe” He looks a little shocked.
Me: “Morning love” Junior was making noise his father
took him to me. He looks more than happy to see his
father.
Samkelo: “Ntwana yami” he tickled him. It's nice scene
to look at but who was he talking to?
Me: “I need to prepare for my trip babe that's why I
woke up early. I have an early flight”
Me: “Okay babe”
446 | P a g e
I went to our bedroom to pack my clothes when u was
done I went to the kitchen to make breakfast for all of
us. Nokuthula is eating with us and she is more relaxed
now than she was new here.
Nokuthula: “Morning sisi” she came in the kitchen.
Me: “Morning sisi unjani?
Nokuthula: “I'm good”
Samkelo came in with Junior.
Me: “Assignments?”
Nokuthula: “I'm swamped” she made a cup coffee.
Samkelo: “Take a day off Nokubonga I will take care of
Junior”
Nokuthula: “Au Mzala”
Samkelo: “Be free besides the guys are coming so we
will chill here today”
Nokubonga: “Thanks mzala”
He gave her money to make some shopping he was
making sure he delays her because the installation of
trackers on their heads is today AK-47 was told to take
her out just to make sure she don't come back early to
find Junior crying nonstop because she will panick and
we don't need that.
Big Four also got the getaway. Thabi will meet Rachel
in the airport so they will take the same flight from
Cape Town to Joburg and Zee is on Joburg these days.
I bath my son and fed him and I spent some time with
him. His father is acting weird this day and I won't even
ask him after a while Junior fell asleep I went to put
447 | P a g e
him on his cot I kissed him on the forehead and went
to my bedroom.
I found him on his phone.
Samkelo: “Ready to go?”
Me: “In few minutes I'll be ready”
Samkelo: “Mhm okay”
When I came out of the closet I was holding my bag.
Me: “I'm ready to go but I'll start in his room to kiss
him goodbye” I put my bag on the bed.
I felt his eyes on me as I'm walking out of the room. I
found my boy sleeping so peaceful and I kissed him on
the forehead.
I felt his presence...
Samkelo: “I'll take him because Nokubonga is not
here”
He woke up. Junior loves his presence so much he
doesn’t take so much time to sleep when it’s his father
but to me he takes his time.
Me: “Okay”
He went out the door. I took my bags because he was
busy playing with his son I locked the door after me.
We went to the Jeep Wrangler and he buckled him in
his car seat. When I was about to go off I kissed my boy
who was awake now and I pecked his lips.
Me: “I love you” He smiles with that smile that makes
my heart to melt.
Samkelo: “I love to my love” he smiled.
Me: “Please don't burn my house” I hugged him.
448 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Hawu babe” he laughed.
I went off and I’ll miss them.
When I landed I found them waiting for me?
Nokwe: “You're late”
Me: “Ai suka!” we laughed.
We got in the car and drove off. We went to Nokwe's
house (Sakhi's house) and it a beautiful house and it so
stylish.
Me: “Nice house mngani”
Nokwe: “Thanks babe”
Thabi: “"Is Mr Pilot here?”
Nokwe: “We are alone he's in Durban”
Zee and Nontu is running late. I called him to check up
on him and he was not right but we ngabe to do it we
don't have a choice. I think there's more than what is
happening today. I'll spent three days here so
Wednesday I'm going back to Durban.
Nokwe: “Wine?”
Me: “Yes please!” I screamed. They laughed.
She came back with wine and glasses.
Me: “Rachel girl loosen up girl” She just smiled.
Nokwe poured wine for us her phone beeped...
Nokwe: “Nontu is here” she got up from the chair and
went to the door to open for them.
Thabi: “Hey girl!”
Nontu: “Yhuu is it kicking in already”
We laughed. Us and wine same WhatsApp group. She
sat down next to me.
449 | P a g e
Me: “How are you feeling Nono?” I said to Nontu. My
mother and grandma call her Nono when are teasing
her.
Nontu: “I'm feeling better now thanks for the rapist”
Me: “I'm glad to hear that”
Zee sent text saying she is busy for the whole days she
is be free so we won't do shopping for my wedding so
we need to get drunk! Two bottles down already.
Nontu was also drinking with us.
Rachel: “What kind of the dress you want?”
Me: “Mermaid dress that covers the back of my back"
Me: “You'll wear a long max with cute sandals and
please your weaves need to be on point”
Nontu: “As long as we will look cute”
Nokwe: “Budget?”
Me: “None as long as I get what I want” I sipped on my
glass while giving them a funny eye.
Them: “Mhm”
Thabi: “Mngani I need to ask you something but don't
be offended”
Me: “O-kay”
Thabi: “Don't you think this is too much”
Me: “He will give me my dream wedding”
Thabi: “I'm not talking about the wedding” I don't like
where this is going...
Me: “If it's not the wedding what is then?”
Thabi: “All of these big houses expensive houses
expensive gifts...”
450 | P a g e
Nokwe "It bothers me also this is too much..."-Nokwe
Me: “I don't understand what you are trying to say” I
acted dumb.
Thabi: “I think there's more to it something illegal
maybe”
I laughed out loud. Their faces were serious.
Me: “Those men work hard to give us what we want
and what we need” I hate to lie on them but I'm forced
to them can't find out.
Nontu: “So it doesn’t bother you?”
I need to keep calm here because if I lose my temper
they'll think I know something.
Thabi: “Yazi Andile is shady sometimes I found him
talking with the phone in the ewe hours come back late
or in the middle of the night”
Nokwe: “Mina ke nje Sakhi most of the time he always
with boys drinking or watching soccer and comes back
in the middle of the night”
Yerrrrrr.
Nontu: “TK is acting strange these days coming in and
out with the boys drinking”
Me: “Samkelo also do that watching soccer with the
boys coming back in the middle of the night but
I can't just assume he is doing something is shady”
Rachel: “Maybe they're cheating”
Silence.
I tried to hold a laugh. She is always in denial her father
is commissioner and a gangster that's why he is after
451 | P a g e
us we found out that he is one of THE TIGERS our rival
gang and we need to teach him some lesson.
Me: “You can say that again babe” I laughed.
They look at each other.
Thabi: “I'll kill him if I find him cheating again” her face
changed in a minute.
Nontu: “I'll help you to kill Andile then help me to kill
TK”
Nokwe: “I'll temper something on the engines of those
private jet and sent him message saying that we'll
meet on heaven” she is worked out.
Rachel and I were laughing till our tears came and I was
also relieved that they will think something else.
Me: “So back in my wedding preparations” after
laughing so hard.
Nokwe: “Décor?”
Me: “I want Wimbledon chair on the garden wedding
and you'll see in the reception which one will be
perfect”
Thabi: “Okay. Colour?”
Me: “Crystals clear with Royal Blue with touch of
silver”
Nontu: “Mhm yeah great”
Rachel: “Suits?” She is talking wine work wonders.
Me: “I think of dark navy suits skinny trousers; coats
will also be a little skinny and revealing with no shirt
and silver chains and brown shoes”
Thabi: “Mhm can see my man showing those muscles
452 | P a g e
in revealing coats”
Nokwe was biting her lips also Nontu....
A bell rang.
Nokwe went to attend the door. She came back with
some lady I don't know.
Her: “Hey girls” she sat down.
I quickly took my bag just in case things are about to go
off.
Her: “How are you Nompe?”
Me: “I'm good....”smile and frown at the same time.
Silence.
Me: “Do I know you?”
Her: “I'm Nomxolisi Gwala Kat's fiancée”
We all looked at each other.
Me: “I need to make a quickly call” I moved from
them.
I need to call my man.
Me: “Babe”
Samkelo: “What's wrong?”
Me: “There's some lady who just came in saying he is
Kat's fiancée”
Samkelo: “What is her name?”
Me: “ She says she is Nomxolisi Gwala”
Samkelo: “MaGwala is there? Ei Ta Kat you won't
believe what I'm hearing right now”
Samkelo: “I'll face time you now” he hung up. After a
minute the face time me.
Samkelo: “Grootman MaGwala is there!”
453 | P a g e
Kat: “Give me the phone” Samkelo gave him the
phone
Kat: “Please give her the phone”
I went to give her the phone to talk with Kat. We were
looking at each other.
Kat: “Umh MaGwala”
Her: “Yeah it's me”
Her: “I need to talk to you in person tomorrow if it's
possible”
Kat: “Okay see you tomorrow” They said goodbyes and
I took my phone and hung up.
Me: “Sorry to do that but I needed to confirm with
them first”
Her: “There's no need to apologize for that I
understand”
Nokwe went to the kitchen to get a glass for her. We
drank until at 23:00 after that we went to sleep.
In the morning I woke up first and called Samkelo.
Me: “Babe how are you?”
Samkelo: “Fine and you?”
Me: “I'm good how are they?”
Samkelo: “They cried yesterday but Phindi was here to
monitor them I think they're fine today”
Me: “Good. We need to plan our wedding”
Samkelo: “Everything you want as long as I wear Navy
suit with no shirt it’s okay. Mhm okay you'll get what
you need”
Me: “I'll activate it on my laptop after talking to you”
454 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Mhm okay. I love you”
Me: “I love you too” I ended the call.
I went to get my laptop activated the kid’s trackers
after that I went to make breakfast for them. When
I was about to finish they came one by one in the
kitchen.
I was wearing my T-shirt and panty and the others
were on the T-shirt with their parties too.
Me: “On my bridal shower I need you to wear Versace
Greca border triangle bras and Greca border thongs
and colour though”
Nokwe: “Who said you'll have one?”
Me: “Knowing you I know it will happen” I smiled.
Nontu: “Ai uhlule makoti”
The bell rang.
Nokwe: “Who is it early so. Go away I'm half naked!”
she screamed.
Nontu: “Hayi bo!” she saw Kat walking towards our
direction.
He gave them some scary look and they kept quiet.
Nomxo went to him and gave him a warm hug.
Kat: “I'm sorry about what happened again”
Nomxo: “It's okay” they were looking at each other’s
eye .
Nontu gave me a robe to wear since he is here. They
stood in that position quite some minutes looking at
each other.
Nomxo: “You're hurt me in indescribable way but I
455 | P a g e
can't live without you”
He wiped her tears with her thumbs. Samkelo once
told me about Kat's fiancée but he didn't tell me
the reason of calling off their engagement.
Kat: “I'm sorry my love” he hugged her again.
They shared a long passionate kiss... Whatever made
them to breakup is big.
Rachel: “Bold and a beautiful”
I just wanted to die there and then. Kat just laughed so
as Nomxolisi.
Kat's phone rang and he went to take it after some
time he came back.
Nomxo: “Even now?” He laughed. I've never saw that
smile on him.
Kat: “I need to fix some few things MaGwala I'll take
you out for lunch I promise”
They kissed again and she pulled out they busted out in
laugh after that I think they were laughing at
us for looking at them. He went out after that she
walked him out and came back...
Nokwe: “I thought you were going to give it to him in
the car”
Me: “Nokwe Hayi wehlule mngani nam”
We went to the dining room to eat breakfast. We went
to take fix ourselves for going out. We came put
looking beautiful and use two cars for travelling.
We found Zee waiting for us in the boutique she told
us about. I want a mermaid dress with long lacy sleeves

but I want it to cover my back to hide my tattoo.
We got it and checked on few clothes making jokes and
it was funny. As I was checking out so many dresses
but I stopped when I saw a mermaid dress with long
lacy sleeves it will show of my curves and ass.
Me: “This is the one” I looked at it so closely.
They went to sit down and I went with Zee to help me
to put it on and a veil. When I came out and they were
looking at me like they never saw me wearing
anything.
Nontu: “You're so beautiful” she was on tears.
They were all emotional.

Chapter 28

Me: “Hayi bethunana akufanga muntu!”

They laughed with their tears.
After that we went out for lunch but Nomxo wasn't
with us for lunch. After eating lunch Kat called me
because he must go to Durban there's board meeting
at Mbulazi attorneys he is a “shareholder” we use it as
a cover.
She met us on the other side of the mall.
Me: “I need to buy a sexy little number” when I saw
Temptations store. They all laughed and followed me
to go inside.
457 | P a g e
Me: “Nomxo you need to buy one that man needs a
special romantic night to loosen up”
They laughed out. Kat is hard nut to crack but I hope
she will soften him up. Woman do wonders to a man.
She picked a black lingerie that covers breast velvet
and ass it has straps that has little bowties coming
from behind.
Nomxo: “I love this”
All of us chose one and we went off to Nokwe's.
Thabi: “Zee you bought a little who you'll wear it for?”
Zee: “Yhuu you'll never know” she sipped on her juice.
Me: “Talk!” She sipped again.
Us: “Speak!!”
Zee: “Okay! I have a man!” she rolled her eyes
romantically
Us: “Mhhm”
Nontu: “You're even glowing”
Me: “She is having too much of sex” I sipped on my
wine.
Nokwe: “Who is he?”
She kept quiet.
Nokwe: “Thabi go and take knife for me because she
doesn’t want to speak up”
Zee: “Okay! It's Spikes” she smiled.
We all screamed. Rachel and Nomxo know Spikes.
Nontu: “How is he in bed?”
Zee: “Mhm he is sooo perfect!”
Us: “Mhm”
458 | P a g e
Nomxolisi's phone rang and she moved from us we
didn't hear of what she was saying and she came back
smiling.
Me: “Smiling?”
Nomxo: “I'm going to Durban this afternoon”
Me: “Someone will get some tonight!” I shouted.
Thabi smacked my head.
Me: “Ouch!”
Me: “Please book the ticket for me too I won't sleep
here I need to try that lingerie for my man tonight!”
Nomxo: “Okay”
Nontu: “Since TK is in Durban too so I'm going too”
Thabi: “Me too”
Rachel: “Just count all of us”
Me: “Is Lwandile back?”
Rachel: “He'll be back this evening”
We're all crazy here we going to Durban just to show
our men our lingerie. I don't believe it!
Me: “Zee why are you drinking juice?” She is my
partner in wine but today she is not drinking today.
Zee: “I like it”
Thabi: “Since when?”
Nontu: “That's new”
She kept quiet.
Silence.
Me: “Baby shower!” I jumped from the couch.
Nokwe: “You're pregnant?” She just gave a smile that
confirms our suspections.
459 | P a g e
Me: “Ncooah congrats Cousin”
They all said and we hugged him. Our flight was on
15:30pm. When we got their Zee called AK-47 to come
and fetch us and he told us their all at my house.
When we got home my house was dirty and we found
them watching a soccer match.
Me: “Hayi! Hayi!” I shouted.
Tv was loud.
We went to the lounge.
Them: “Hayibo!”
Me: “Yeah surprise!”
I went to put my bags in the bedroom put on my
sleepers and I went to clean my house. I
understand that Nokubonga cleaned the house in the
morning and they made mess.
After an hour I was done I prepare the dinner a One-
pan Salmon with potatoes and asparagus. The ladies
helped me to prepare the dinner.
Kat: “Haa you all back?” when he sees us in the
kitchen.
We laughed and he kissed his fiancée and went to the
guys. After an hour the guys came to the kitchen.
Samkelo: “My love I thought you'll come back
tomorrow” after pecking my lips.
Me: “I miss you and my boy”
AK: “Yeyii wena!” he said to AK-47 who was talking to
Nokubonga.
We all laughed.
460 | P a g e
Kat was annoyed at first when he found out that
they're dating and I was shocked when she told
me that she was talking about AK-47 all along but they
love each other you can see it in their eyes. They met
at Unisa AK is studying for explosive or something like
that while Nokubonga is doing teaching.
Me: “Dinner is ready!” They all came to the dining
table where everything was set and we ate.
Spikes: “Thanks for the dinner Nompe”
Me: “My pleasure”
They went back to the lounge and drank few beers and
they left after that. Ladies helped me with the dishes
so I went to check up on my son who was fast asleep
then went to take a shower.
I went to the closet and wore my new sexy number up
it a lacy robe found him sitting on the edge of the bed
he was looking on his feet he was deep in thoughts.
I walk slowly towards him.
Me: “Are you okay?” I touched his head.
Samkelo: “Yeah I'm cool” he lifted his head up.
Me: “Want to talk about it?”
I sat on his lap. I kissed him so passionately he broke
the kiss.
Samkelo: “Not today babe” he moved uncomfortable
so I got up from his lap.
Me: “Mhm O-kay” I'm confused.
Since when he says no to sex? This is new!
I’m so pissed right now just to think I came back from
461 | P a g e
Joburg to be denied sex. I went to the closet took it off
then I went to bed.
He was not in the bed when I came out of the closet. I
got in the bed I tried to sleep but I didn't fell asleep. At
03:00am he came to the bed I think he was in the study
assuming he's wearing pyjamas and
I didn't hear his car driving away.
At 03:25 my phone beeped. I took it...
It's the notification someone cloned MaRazor's access
card to the warehouse here in Durban. I woke up took
my robe and went to his study to sort this thing out.
I managed to find the location told MaRazor to find
that person after that I went to the bedroom to sleep. I
woke up when I heard him talking to the phone.
Samkelo: “Morning”
Me: “Morning"
I went to take a shower he made the bed so I went to
the kitchen to make breakfast. I made butternut for
Junior he hates it but he must eat it.
He came wearing jean with white T-shirt showing his
muscles and black Jordan sneakers.
Samkelo: “Ntwana yam!”
Junior laughed.
Samkelo: “Can I feed him?”
Me: “Yes please” I passed Junior's little plastic bowl to
him.
He was playing with him while he was feeding him.
Me: “Juju” he was playing with him.
462 | P a g e
He wasn't crying when he fed him butternut but to me
he cries spit it out but to his father he is laughing and
he finished it.
Nokubonga: “Mzala you should always feed it to him
he is nice to you”
He laughed
She is only the nanny the cleaning and laundry is done
three times a week by an old lady but I think of hiring
her full time after the wedding.
After feeding Juju (Junior) he ate his breakfast and Juju
and I went to the lounge to watch tv.
Samkelo: “Any plans for today?”
Me: “I'm meeting ladies this afternoon”
I wasn't paying attention to him I was playing with Juju
who is starting to be handful now since he is crawling.
Samkelo: “Mhm okay I'm going out I'll be back soon”
Me: “Mhm okay” I wasn't even looking at him.
He left and it was mother and son day. I need to do
something when he is One or Two but I can't be
a housewife.
I don't know when I fell asleep when I woke up my son
was not in the room I quickly got up to go to find him...
Samkelo: “Ntwana yam”
I almost went crazy I found them in the kitchen Juju
was eating and laughing. He feeds him while he
is playing with him making sounds of a train or car or
motorbike and Juju likes that he laughs nonstop.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry to take him while you're were
463 | P a g e
asleep and he was wide awake”
Me: “Thanks for taking care of him while I was asleep”
I went to the kitchen to take him and change his diaper
and it was his nap time so I went to put him in his cot
after 20 minutes he was asleep then I went to prepare
myself for the meeting with ladies before they go.
He was in the kitchen pouring juice and he was
drooling....
He cleared his throat.
Samkelo: “You're hot....”
Me: “Thanks I'm going now I'll be back soon”
I was wearing a skinny jean with black and white deep
v-shirt and black heels with my red channel bag. The
shirt was too revealing...
Samkelo: “Ai I'll go with you babe”
Me: “No thanks I'll go alone its girl only”
He came to kiss my forehead and I went off.
Nokwe: “Hot baby mama” I laughed and sat down.
Me: “Thanks mngani you're hot too”
I greeted the others. They're all here as we were in
Joburg.
Thabi: “How was your night?” to Nomxo.
Nomxo: “Beyond perfect”
I need to hear her story but I won't push it even to
Samkelo.
We ordered our wine first then food Zee was the only
one to have juice. Nontu was ordered Chicken with
mash and mushroom sauce but it was making her
464 | P a g e
uncomfortable judging by the expressions on her face.
Thabi: “What's wrong babe?” to Nontu.
Nontu: “It smells so horrible....” she got up quickly to
the ladies.
We looked at each other on Zee got up quickly to the
ladies.
Silence.
Rachel: “Do you think of what I'm thinking?”
Nokwe clap her hands and took to her glass of wine.
They came back together sat down.
Thabi: “Nontu do you want to tell us something?”
Me: “Yes speak! Your food is delicious and fresh so
what is it?” to Nontu
Nontu: “I don't know what is going on I'm not feeling
well these days”
Rachel: “Pregnancy test sweetheart"”
Nontu was quite after that I think she is thinking about
her baby but her being pregnant now it will do well to
her.
We ate and drank our wine the two was on juice after
that we hugged and went off. When I got home
I found Samkelo and Juju sleeping in our bedroom I
took a throw and put it over I took a picture of them
sleeping so peaceful I love them so much.
I went to prepare dinner for us when I was about to
finish cooking he came to the kitchen.
Me: “Hey babe”
He was yawning.
465 | P a g e
Me: “Food will be ready in few”
He went to our bedroom when we heard his cry. He
came back with him. I took him from his father I tickled
him he was laughing showing his toothless smile.
I called Nokubonga to come and eat after dinner
Samkelo helped me with the dishes I needed.
Samkelo: “I need to apologise babe. I was under
pressure from work and this thing ka Juju”
Me: “Okay I understand”
Samkelo: “So you forgive me?” he smiled.
Me: “I'll pay for your it”
Samkelo: “What do you want?”
Me: “I want to renovate this house to a double storey
after the wedding”
Samkelo: “So you mission is to finish my money
madam?”
Me: “With pleasure Sir”
We both went to Juju's bedroom to kiss him goodnight
then went to our bedroom. I went to take a shower
when I came from the closet...
Me: “Nice tattoo”
He has new tattoo on his chest written “Samkelo
Junior” I'm jealous for not having it but I'll get
one soon.
Samkelo: “Thanks babe”
I went to bed he tried to touch me I wasn't in the mood
for sex so I turned my back on him and I slept.
When I woke up in the morning I was tired Juju is not
466 | P a g e
well I think he is coming down with flue I woke up
twice he was crying.
Samkelo: “Morning babe”
Me: “Morning honey”
Samkelo: “He is not feeling well his temperature is little
bit high”
Me: “I'll take him to the doctor now”
Samkelo: “Okay babe. Mom and Thando are coming
today for wedding preparations” I hate to deal with
those two.
Me: “Mhm okay. Talking about wedding preparations
have you decided about the suit and shoes for your
groomsmen?”
Me: “They'll wear navy skinny suits no shirt and brown
shoes like me”
I laughed.
Samkelo: “What is it?”
Me: “That's what I said to the ladies when they were
asking about your suits but I wasn't sure about the
colour I just said what came first in my mind”
He looked at me.
Samkelo: “Really?”
Me: “Yeah. I know you love navy suits and I also knew
you'll want to mix formal and gangsterism”
He just stood and look at me...We cracked out
laughing.
Samkelo: “You know me too well babe”
I went out of the bedroom after taking a bath made my
467 | P a g e
way to the kitchen to make breakfast. I made
Bacon and Banana French toast for them and I made
eggs for me and cereal for my Juju. He cried when
I fed him I gave him his bottle. I went to clean him up
and we went to the doctor.
Phindi: “How is he?”
Phindi is a doctor and gangster.
Me: “I think he is coming down with flue” She checked
him out she gave him medication for the flue.
Phindi: “Is it on?”
Me: “Yeah it on and he is good it didn't cause any
problem for him”
Phindi: “It's good to hear that. Ta SK was so stress that
day he drank 2 bottle of whiskey"-she says smiling.
Me: “He is still sulking even now”
Phindi: “That's was a great idea next week it’s my girls”
Me: “Great idea no one has to be stressed in case
something happens”
We hugged and I went off. I called Samkelo to tell him
that I'm going to check upon Luthando my cousin in
town and I need to check my flat.
When Juju and I got there I found her busy looking as if
she is going you meet someone important.
Me: “Date?”
Luthando: “Yeah”
She took Juju to tickle him. She gave me Juju and
poured an orange juice for me.
A knock in the door. She went to attend it.
468 | P a g e
Luthando: “Hey friend” Its Anele I rolled my eyes.
Anele: “Hey girl!” She annoys me sometimes.
Me: “Hey girl” I greeted back.
She took Juju he's so adorable everyone wants to hold
him and he's always laughing.
A knock again. Luthando went to attend the door. A
young man entered he looks like he is early 20's.
He greeted we greeted back Luthando was smiling
nonstop.
I think it's her date. The room went quiet.
I need to break the ice here...
Me: “I'm Nompendulo Mazibuko Luthando's cousin”
Him: “I'm Kutlano Maite” he smiled.
What? I’m being tested right now! Did he just Maite?
My mind is running like a computer who reads codes.
Him: “Nice to meet you”
I looked at him I see the little resemblance of his
brother even though he didn't tell me so.
Me: “Nice to meet you too”
After that I got up I found her busy looking as if she is
going you meet someone important.
Me: “Date?”
Luthando: “Yeah”
She took Juju to tickle him. She gave me Juju and
poured an orange juice for me.
A knock in the door. She went to attend it.
Luthando: “Hey friend” Its Anele I rolled my eyes.
Anele: “Hey girl!” She annoys me sometimes.
469 | P a g e
Me: “Hey girl” I greeted back.
She took Juju he's so adorable everyone wants to hold
him and he's always laughing.
A knock again. Luthando went to attend the door. A
young man entered he looks like he is early 20's.
He greeted we greeted back Luthando was smiling
nonstop.
I think it's her date. The room went quiet.
I need to break the ice here...
Me: “I'm Nompendulo Mazibuko Luthando's cousin”
Him: “I'm Kutlano Maite” he smiled.

My mind is running like a computer who reads codes.
Him: “Nice to meet you”
I looked at him I see the little resemblance of his
brother even though he didn't tell me so.
Me: “Nice to meet you too”
After that I got up took my baby and said my goodbyes
to them then I went off to my house. On my way I
called Spikes...
Spikes: “Heita”
Me: “Heita. I need you to check Kutlano Maite for me”
Spikes: “Okay I'm on it” he ended the call.
Spikes was an undercover Police but he resigned after
joining THE EAGLES so he's the one who finds people
and all those things working with MaRazor who a
Private Investigator is who is a member in the Gang.
When I go home it I saw MaNdlovu's car outside I hate
470 | P a g e
her. When I went inside the house there's nice aroma
coming from the kitchen.
Me: “Sawubona Mah”
She was in my kitchen.
MaNdlovu: “Hi” she looked at me as if I'm smelling
something horrible.
I went to put Juju on the sofa in the lounge I found
Thando and Nokubonga watching tv.
Thando: “Ncooah my cutest nephew on earth!”
She took him my arms. I greeted then went to the
kitchen to pour myself a juice.
MaNdlovu: “Is this the way you dress?”
I was wearing a Redbat short denim skirt with a black
T-shirt and all-star.
Me: “Yes mah” I'm not even looking at her.
MaNdlovu: “You're someone's wife so you can't wear
like this”
Me: “Samkelo don't mind the way I dress” I went back
to the lounge.
She is irritating me right now I hope she won't sleep
here she'll sleep in Umhlanga. She came to sit with us
in the lounge.
MaNdlovu: “What time to do cook for my son?”
Before I answer.
Nokubonga: “Mamkhulu” Her mother and MaNdlovu
are sisters.
MaNdlovu: “I wasn't talking to you. Junior is thin what
are you feeding him?”
471 | P a g e
I won't answer those stupid questions.
Thando: “We are here for the wedding preparations”
with attitude. She is back at it.
Me: “What about it?”
MaNdlovu: “Are you not getting married in the next
two months?”
Me: “I am”
MaNdlovu: “I think ballroom dress will suit you”
Thando: “Lilac and White for the décor will be fine”
Nokubonga and I were quiet looking at them.
MaNdlovu: “The venue will be at Escourt town hall and
its beautiful”
Thando: “I'll also deal with traditional wedding
preparations” They're getting in my nerves now.
Me: “Everything is sorted so don't worry”
MaNdlovu and Thando looked at each other.
MaNdlovu: “Your wedding will be by me so tell them to
cancel everything”
Thando: “Mom is right we'll take over”
Me: “First of all this is My wedding my friends are
taking care of everything when I say everything I mean
My wedding gown his suit bridesmaids dresses and
groomsmen suit cake venue décor and transport” I
sipped on my juice.
MaNdlovu: “Why you didn't tell me about it?”
Me: “Sorry but as I said this is my wedding so
everything will go according of what I want”
My wedding gown went for alterations I want lacy
472 | P a g e
roses to cover my back because it has lacy that
will show of my back and I don't want it. When we
went there to choose it my mother and grandma
wasn't present but we skyped them that day and they
said it is beautiful.
Thando: “So you don't need our help?”
Me: “I don’t and I won't need it”
Samkelo and I paid the venue after uMkhehlo because
we wanted our wedding to be here in Zimbali and we
booked the whole Fairmount Zimbali Resort so our
reception will take place in one of the restaurants.
I told my parents about our plans for the wedding if his
family don't know anything it's not my place to tell
them. Samkelo and I are the last-minute typa people
but the wedding stress is getting to me but I know that
my team will do everything I wanted not this witch.
Me: “I thought Samkelo told you about everything”
Mandlovu: “Samkelo talks to his father most of the
time” It’s because she talks too much including his
Aunts.
Invitations are ready next weekend I'm going home to
give them and the rest of the family. Our rings and
watchs we bought them online they'll be here
Saturday. My bridesmaids who are Nontu Nokwe
Zee Nomxolisi and Namisa who is Spider's fiancée. I'm
forced to take her because her man is the bestman.
Spider and S.K are so close if you want Samkelo's
secrets go to Spider.
473 | P a g e
I heard a door opening its Samkelo.
Samkelo: “Hey ladies”
They greeted him back and I was so annoyed. I took
Juju to bath him since I'm not cooking after
bathing him I fed him after some minutes he was
asleep in my arms went to put him to his cot. Mother
in-law and her daughter went to kiss Juju on his cot
then went off. I'm happy they left they're such a pain.
I went to bedroom took a bath he was not in the
bedroom. I looked for him to Juju's room he
wasn't there I found him in his study.
Samkelo: “You'll not do that” he's over the phone. He's
speaking so softly.
Samkelo: “I dare you”
Who is he talking too?
Samkelo: “We'll meet up to talk about this and don't
call me I'll call you” he hung up.
I quickly took off my slippers and ran to the bedroom
tip toe. After few minutes he came back he found me
sitting on the bed.
Me: “Your mother is giving hard times”
Samkelo: “She wants to dictate everything?”
Me: “Yeah she says she wants to plan my wedding”
Samkelo: “Don't let her bully you babe"
He went to take a shower I took his phone I wanted to
see on his dial log he changed his password I put it
down. What is he hiding maybe he's back on his
mischievous ways or maybe he is planning something
474 | P a g e
special for us? When he came back I was pretending as
if I'm asleep and he didn't touch me at all.
In the morning he wasn't in bed I made bed took a
shower then went to the kitchen. I found Juju in the
lounge playing and making noise. I went to him.
Me: “Hey my boy” I picked him up.
He is still a chubby baby he is eating so much. He
started to eat before time because he was crying when
I gave him his bottle or breastfed I gave him purity and
he wasn't crying after feeding him to eat. He's 8
months old he us leaning with everything trying to
stand he is really handful now.
Samkelo: “Morning” he is behind me.
Me: “Hey. How are you?”
Samkelo: “I'm good”
I went to the kitchen to make breakfast. I took Juju's
bottle and fed him when he's 1 year old I'll
stop breastfeeding I need to do something and he must
go to crèche since its Friday I need to get drunk today I
can't stress like this.
My phone beeped.
“I'm in town we need to meet all of groomsmen and
bridesmaids we have to discuss something at 1
9:0 0 pm in your house” Nokwe.
His phone beeped too.
Samkelo: “Nokwe wants to meet us here”
Me: “I got it too”
Nokwe is such a bully sometimes but she knows the
475 | P a g e
best.
Samkelo: “I'm going to Gateway I need to do grocery
for tonight's dinner”
My phone rang.
Me: “Heita”
Spikes: “Heita. I have something for you”
Me: “Okay”
Spikes: “Kutlano Maite is Kagiso Maite's young
brother”
Me: “Eish I think something is looming here it can't be
coincidence”
Spikes: “I think so too why he went for your cousin
maybe he's doing things undercover”
Me: “Okay Tha mfethu”
Spikes: “Sure” he ended the call.
He was looking at me like he's about to kill me with his
bare hand.
Me: “I forgot to tell you something that happened
yesterday”
Samkelo: “What is it”
Me: “Kutlano Maite is my cousin's boyfriend” He
choked on his juice.
Samkelo: “What?”
Me: “I'm telling you he found me in my flat when I
went to check up on Luthando”
Samkelo: “You must tell Luthando not to bring him in
our wedding or else... We need to watch like a hawk”
Me: “Mhm okay. Going to office?"
476 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Nop I'm going to work here today”
Me: “Okay”
These days we're not kissing or having sex I think he's
cheating or stress of getting wedding but he so relaxes
about it. I went to Gateway to buy something for
dinner tonight.
At 16:00pm I started to prepare for diner. I'll make
beef fillet with baked potatoes and vegetable sit will go
well with red wine and those who are pregnant I'll
serve them orange juice.
Kat and Nomxolisi were first to come then Nokwe and
Sakhi then Spider and Namisa came after them.
I wonder what she said or what blackmail she uses to
get then here. Andile and Thabi came after them it was
Spikes and Zee and the last one was TK and Nontu. I
decided to take them with their partners than have
those I don't know these men will be have
opportunities to cheat.
Samkelo was late he was the last to come I think he
was meeting that someone who he was talk to in
yesterday.
Nokwe: “Thanks for coming at such a short notice”
Spider: “This is better be good Nokwe”
Nokwe: “Ai awukame wena. Everything is in order so I
hope you've decided on your suits gentlemen”
Samkelo: “They'll wear what I chose for them”
Nokwe: “Let's hear what you’ve decided”
Samkelo: “Dark Navy skinny suits with no shirt and
477 | P a g e
with brown shoes”
Andile: “That's great bafo I trust your judgement I
wouldn't have trusted Spider's judgement”
Kat: “He would've forced us to wear leather on his day”
They all laughed.
Samkelo: “Juju's suit will be delivery with our suits”
Namisa is quiet person and she's beautiful.
Nokwe: “Okay it will not mess up the colour of the day”
Nokwe: “Step?”
Kat: “Hayi Hayi Nokwe”
Sakhi: “Step will delay everything”
Me: “I think you'll go in as couple in each other's hand
then separate in front then go to your side”
Samkelo: “I second that babe” At least we agreed on
something.
Nokwe: “Invitations are ready so everything is in order
now”
Samkelo: “Bridesmaids dresses?”
Nokwe: “We chose our dress it will be Light blue long
sexy dress with split and it'll have Dark navy straps just
to blend with your suit colours”
Nontu : “Traditional outfits?”
Nokwe: “It'll be isidwaba and ibheshu first esigcawini
then change to white dress with a touch of blue.
His shirt will also be white and have touch of blue also
with Juju's shirt will be like his father”
I knew she'll do something that I'll love.
Samkelo: “Okay I'm happy when everything is going
478 | P a g e
well and especially when My Queen is happy”
He smiled to me.
Then everything was discussed and we agreed on
everything without MaNdlovu's help. She doesn’t want
me and I don't want her too.

Chapter 29

Wedding jitters was playing with me and he was so

relaxed. I went home on Monday with Juju and
Nokubonga went home. I spoke with my parents that I
want to sleep at Durban on Friday because
the wedding will start so early in Saturday so I didn't
want any problems.
So Today's its Friday tomorrow I'm marrying the love of
my life. My bridal shower will be at Thabi's house my
parents know about it so I won't be advised or told on
how to treat my man. I wonder why my parents didn't
do uMhlonyane and uMemulo because Nontuthuko
got it but I wasn't gone ask them because my grandma
would've given me a price of her mind.
My family is in the lodge here in Zimbali so in
479 | P a g e
tomorrow in ewe hours we'll go to Wennen for
the traditional. I didn't see the groomsmen
Thabi came to fetch me to her house. I knew they'll
throw it so I'll not be surprised this time around.
The guys are going to Hilton hotel for his bachelor's
party I spoke to him twice today and I miss him so
much. Everything went back to normal but I didn't find
anything to confirm my suspicions but I'm fine.
Tomorrow I'll get the right to beat any bitch he has or
coming his way or direction. I didn't fight for him
because we weren't married so I couldn't fight for
someone who I'm not sure about him.
When we got there the cars outside. I didn't wear my
outfit for tonight in front of my parents because they
wouldn't let me go out.
Me: “It’s so packed here” She laughed.
We got off from the house.
Them: “Surprise!”
Me: “Mxm you're all boring shame” I rolled my eyes on
them.
I went to Thabi's bedroom to change to my Versace
grice traingle bra with its matching thong with
Varsace long lacy robe. When I came out I found them
wearing their outfits.
Me: “You bitches!!”
They all laughed. Nokuthula was here with us also
Rachel with three friends who I heard it was Zamo
Mbuso and She's girlfriends so we started to get
480 | P a g e
drunk.
We drunk till 02:00 am they were asking all silly
questions. Then at 02:12 am we locked the doors
and slept. At 03:34 Thabi woke me up to give me
something for not having a bad hangover or
headache and I went back to sleep.
She woke me up at 04:24 and took me back to the
lodge I was asleep all the way so she took me
inside and I slept.
At 06:00 am I was woken by my mother.
Mom: “Hey sweetheart”
Me: “Hey mom. How are you?” I yawned.
I had a little headache but thanks to Thabi's horrible
smooth.
Mom: “It’s your day today my baby”
Me: “Yes it is mom. I can't believe it”
She sat on the bed I was sleeping in and took my hand
Mom: “Today it’s your big day which will change
everything in your life. Today you and Samkelo will be
husband and wife which comes with different and big
responsibility. From today onwards means you'll have
to tolerate everything he does its either good or bad.
Being Samkelo's wife means you'll respect him give him
his place as your husband. Make sure he has food
every day clean clothes and give him a lot of sex” she
brushed my hand.
I was laughing of the last words I can't believe her.
Me: “I'll do that mom I won't disappoint you or
481 | P a g e
grandma” I put my hand on top of her hand. She
was emotional but she didn't cry. It’s so rare to see my
mother crying.
My grandma entered the room she also set on the
bed.
Grandma: “Mzukulu ka gogo today it’s your big day.
Marriage is a big step I'm glad you took it you need to
respect your man and love him unconditional his
imperfections and his flaws. Appreciate everything he
does for you and your baby don't be a nagging wife if
there's something you don't arguing with go for a walk
or get some fresh air don't take decisions when you're
angry and Please communicate with him”
My eyes were filled with tears I only wish if my father
was here with me today but it's God's will. My matron
of honour Thabi has our rings and watches.
Nontu came in the room to my grandma made us to
pray after that I just cried thinking of all good times
and bad times we had as family but everything turned
out to be great. Nontu is pregnant the doctor
confirmed it. Our kids will be a year and two months
apart.
My phone rang and they went out of the room.
Samkelo: “How are you Mrs Khumalo?”
Me: “I'm good Mr Khumalo and how are you?” I'm
blushing.
Samkelo: “I'm good. I can't wait to put a ring on your
finger”
482 | P a g e
Me: “I can't wait to be Mrs Samkelo Khumalo” He
laughed.
Samkelo: “I'll see you in few hours my love”
Me: “Okay babe”
Samkelo: “I love you”
Me: “I love you more”
I went to take a shower when I came out my
bridesmaids were here with a make-up lady and
my hairstylist. My wedding gown was what I wanted
and it fit me so perfectly. I can't wait to see my
man and my son.
Holy matrimonial will start at 09:00 am so at 08:45 am I
was done. My mom and grandma came in to see me
and I was so beautiful makeup on point weave on point
manicure and pedicure was on point to so I was ready
to marry my man.
Thabi drove me to the venue and all my bridesmaids
were on red Ferraris and I'm on my red Ferrari which
Samkelo bought it for me on my baby shower. I heard
my house is being extended but I didn't ask him.
My mom is the one who will walk me down the aisle
and I'm so happy. I've prepared my own vows I don't
know about him. My bridesmaids and groomsmen
were the first to walk in there.
Mom: “It's time my sweetheart” she took my arm to
hers.
I closed my eyes then I walked with her...
The piano started for me to walk down the aisle...
483 | P a g e
I was crying all the way to the alter....
He was so cute and super sexy in that skinny suit and
he was holding my Juju he was on his little suit and
brown sneakers. They were so cute... When I looked
around my friend out done herself.
We walked and he met us halfway. Mom took my hand
and gave it to him.
When we were standing looking at each other I saw
our gang members in motorbikes they were
in numbers I think they're here to check the coast in
case anyone tries to something funny.
Priest: “I'm here join Samkelo Jonathan Khumalo and
Nompendulo Innocentia Mazibuko in the
holy matrimonial”
He smiled and I smiled back.
Priest: “Did you have your own vows?”
Us: “Yes we have”
My hands were shaking and he smiled and wink at me.
Priest: “You can start Samkelo”
Silence.
Samkelo: “I'll be ever grateful for hurting your ankle in
the gym. I'll wouldn't have met you if you didn't.
I've never met someone who is beautiful inside out like
you. You're gave my life a meaning and purpose to
work hard and give you everything you'll need thank
you for loving me with my imperfections. Words will
never express how you make me happy. I've never met
someone so stubborn like you but it is the other of
484 | P a g e
many reasons we're still together. Thanks for giving me
the cutest son and I'll be forever grateful and
appreciate you”
I was in tears. People laughed when he mentioned that
I'm stubborn.
Thabi wiped tears in my face making sure she doesn’t
mess my make-up.
Priest: “It’s your turn Nompendulo”
Silence again.
Me: “If this a dream please don't wake me up it’s a
beautiful nightmare *he shook his head no*. Never in
my life had I thought I'll be married to the cute
handsome and loving man like you. Sometimes you
drive me crazy and angry in all forms but I still found a
reason to love you more than before. My love for is
deeper than you'll ever think and know your presence
makes me feel loved and protected you'll never
know how happy I am ever since I've met. You'll see my
love by my actions towards you because if I can start
explaining it in words now it can take forever. You're
my heaven and universe. I love you
Mbulazi”
His eyes were teary.
When I looked at my mother Juju was still awake and
he was so cute I hope they took pictures of
him wearing his first suit in his life.
The priest asked for the rings and he prayed and
blessed our rings. I haven't seen his and he hasn't seen
485 | P a g e
his we ordered them online separately we'll see it
today.
Priest: “With this....”
Samkelo: “I'm sorry to disturb your pastor but can I
please say my own words?”
Priest: “There's no problem”
Silence.
I didn't know what he was doing but I feared what he
was doing. He clicked him thumb once.
The piano started to........ “These lips can't wait to taste
your skin and these eyes can't w ait to see to see your
grin ooh o oh baby Just let my love just let my love
adorn you please baby.....”he was singing our favourite
song Adorn by Miguel as he put the ring so slowly. It’s a
black diamond pear shaped ring it was so beautiful. He
sang the whole song just for me and I was in tears. I
was so surprise he’s such
a great singer with his deep voice he was so sexy. He
sang the song so slowly. When he was done he wiped
tears in my cheeks with his thumbs. When it was my
time to put his ring on his finger I said the words after
the priest and he was amazed that I also chose the
black ring with black and white
diamonds. After putting the rings when it was time of
“kissing your bride” I kissed his cheek I'm scared of my
parents.
Samkelo: “Hawu babe!” he said that out loud. The
guests laughed so I was forced to kiss him. I kissed him
486 | P a g e
when I tried to pull out he tightens my waist and kissed
me deeply. We went to take pictures with family
friends and our son he was laughing throughout. We
went to the reception it was so
perfect! I love it! I knew Nokwe knows the best. Juju
fell asleep in the reception. It was round clear table
with ghost chair the centrepieces were fresh flowers
my eyes were filled with tears. "Thanks
babe"-I say when we sit in the main table. "Anything
for you my love"-he says and kiss my cheeks.
Our parents spoke friends they were cracking jokes it
was so great. We went to the dance floor we
dance and I was in chest thinking about us and our
future. Couples came to join us in the dance floor.
We were dancing the dancing floor and guest were
looking at the dance floor . My Grandma slept me with
in my room in the lodge and I was so annoyed.
Samkelo bought lingerie for me but I can't even go
because she is here. We left Durban in ewe or Weneen.
Traditional wedding was great he everyone
laughed at him when he tried ukugiya but it was so
cute to see that. After the traditional wedding my
family went back home. Aunty Zethu who we
MaKhumalo made me to go with other girls to the bush
for wood taking Samkelo was furious but I told him I'll
do and I went to the nearest bush Samkelo with drama
sent bodyguards with us in case something happen. I
amazed her all of them she didn't knew that I know
487 | P a g e
how to do it. The next morning she taught me how to
make traditional beer cooking food mealies and forced
me to wear phenifore like those Aunty around the
village.
Now I am Nompendulo Khumalo!
--------------------
Juju: “Mom!”
He doesn’t speak like normal people he shouts every
day.
Juju: “Mom!”
Me: “Junior! What is it?” I shouted.
Juju: “I'm hungry!” he shouted.
Me: “Okay!” I shouted too.
He is 3 years old now and he's so handful that's why he
goes to crèche. Nokubonga is not living with us she
graduated and she is a qualified teacher but we meet
occasionally. We have Mam' Salamine who is also
related to Samkelo she is great to Junior and I love her
work around the house. She cleans
and wash and keep an eye to Junior.
I went downstairs to make sandwich for him. My house
is a double storey now and I like it. He came downstairs
running to the kitchen I gave him his sandwich.
Juju: “When are we going to visit Aunty Nontu?”
If he's not running he's shouting or breaking door
handles he's hyperactive.
Me: “I don't know to your father”
He drinks his juice first.
488 | P a g e
Me: “Start with sandwich first then drink juice”
He ate. He can't stop talking even if he is eating.
Juju: “Where is my ntwana?”
Me: “On his way” He nods.
The door opened...
Samkelo: “Ntwana yami!”
Juju: “Ngigrand” His father laughed he came to the
kitchen kiss my cheek.
Samkelo: "How are you my love?”
Me: “I'm good babe and you?” Junior went back to eat
his sandwich.
Samkelo: “I'm good too”
Me: “How was your day?”
Samkelo: “Back to back meeting. Your day?”
Me: “Good”
Samkelo: “I'm going to take a cold shower” he went
upstairs.
At 16:50 pm I started to cook.
I miss my sister and friends ever since I became the
“housewife” it so boring I won't lie. All I'm doing is to
bath Juju and take him to school. Thabi and Andile are
still in Cape Town Nontu and TK are still in Joburg like
Nokwe and Sakhi Zee and Spikes are here in Durban
they're living in Umhlanga can't say much for Nomxolisi
and Kat they're all over the place but I understand he is
our leader so he has to be
everywhere but most of the time they spend it on Cape
and here in Durban. Nomxolisi is pregnant and Kat last
489 | P a g e
Saturday was complaining to Samkelo about how she
is.
My phone rings
Me: “Mtaka ma”
Nontu: “Unjani sthandwa?” There's little voice
shouting on her background.
Me: “Is that Iyazi?”
Nontu: “Yes and he is shouting”
Her son's name Iyazinkosi I think she named him to
that deep beautiful name because she once lost her
baby 2 years back.
Nontu: “We're coming to Durban this weekend”
Me: “Mhm okay. I think we can all take kids out to
Ushaka Marine World”
Nontu: “Great plan. I'll call others
Me: “Mhm okay”
Nontu: “Iyazi put that down! I have to go we'll speak
later” she ended the call.
When the food was ready I wished up for them Mam'S
went to eat at her cottage today I think she is tired or
something. We ate then I washed dishes then went to
the study to check few things before I go to bed.
I closed my laptop then went to the bedroom. I found
him speaking over the phone but he was whispering I
don't know why. He didn't drop the call when he
realises I was in the door.
Me: “I'm going to take a bath”
Samkelo: “Okay babe”
490 | P a g e
When I came back from the bathroom I found him
reading at some book. I got in bed.
Me: “Goodnight babe” I put my head in the pillow. I
switched off the lamp on my side.
Samkelo: “Hawu babe”
I felt his hands on my waist he kissed my neck only his
breathing turned me on.
Me: “I thought you were reading”
Samkelo: “No I wasn't...”he kissed me on my shoulder.
He gently turned me to face him he kissed me so
deeply I couldn't resist him I wanted him to be
inside me. He made me to sleep with my back then
came on top he took both of my hands and put
them over my head held them with his one hand.
Samkelo: “I'm obsessed with your body and pus....” he
was kissing me.
I felt him inside me and he was so gently he was
coming in and out of me when he went to
the bathroom I went too then we both came back to
sleep. In morning I woke up first went to the bathroom
I bath when I was about to close the shower tap. I felt
his warm body and his shaft on my
ass...
Samkelo: “Morning my love” in a deep sleepy voice of
his.
Me: “Morning babe”
I felt something hard on my ass... Really? He turned me
to see him...
491 | P a g e
Me: “Bab...”
He picked me up my arms were around his neck my
legs around his waist...
I can't get enough of his lips body and everything on
him we had our morning glory in the shower after that
we took a shower together. I went to wake Juju and
bath him. When I went to the kitchen to make
breakfast my phone beeped. "Hey mommy!"
It's from the unknown number who could it be because
my kid is here and nephews and nieces can't use the
phone yet to send a text is another thing.
I made breakfast for everyone.
He came downstairs already wearing jean with white
shirt and Air Jordan X Levi's IX with his laptop bag only.
He sat down and I gave him his breakfast his son wasn't
down here....
Me: “Juju!” I shouted.
Quiet.
Not in the morning.
Me: “Juju! Come here now!” I screamed.
After some while he came down the stairs with his
skinny jean with white shirt and his father's white
Jordan sneakers. Samkelo was holding himself from
laughing.
Juju: “Ntwana how do I look?” he asked his father. I
just look at him I didn't know on what to say.
Samkelo: “Unswempu ntwana” he stealed glances.
Me: “Juju!” I'm annoyed.
492 | P a g e
Juju: “Mom I'm hungry!”
Me: “Go and change those clothes now!” I shouted.
Juju: “Mom you're killing my vibe”
I took a deep breath Samkelo was on stitches.
Me: “Juju I'll beat that ass of your until they’re red. Go
now!” I shouted.
He went upstairs.
Me: “Your son will drive me crazy”
Samkelo: “You're always fight with each other”
Me: “I almost forgot there's message I received last
night it's unknown number”
Samkelo: “What did it say?” he seems shocked
Me: “It’s says Hey mommy”
I turned to put the dishes in the sink.
Me: “Juju come now!” I shouted.
Me: “I'll try to find who it is” to him.
Me: “Juju! This child” I wonder what is holding him up
there.
Juju: “I'm coming!” he shouted.
After some while he came wearing his Spiderman
underwear carrying different clothes than I chose for
him.
Me: “I'll beat you up now”
I wanted him to eat first or else he would've messed
his clothes with tomatoes sauce but now he decided to
take his clothes in the kitchen. He gave his father
clothes his father dressed to him up and he refused to
eat eggs today he wanted Jungle oats. I forced him to
493 | P a g e
eat his eggs or else will be late.
I dropped him at crèche then went to then went back
home I because I wanted to relax and enjoy quietness.
Samkelo fetched Juju. His cousin is coming this
afternoon and I know he'll sleep in Nontu house in
Umhlanga. Juju Iyazi and Gwajo are handful.
Milisuthando (Zee's daughter) and Amahle are
also handful but not like these three.
He came back shouting from the driveway. He didn't
greet me he went straight upstairs. He came
back demanding sandwich and I kept quiet
Juju: “Mom I'm hungry”
I kept quiet again.
Juju: “Hey mom” he said politely. He is amending
things
Me: “Hey my boy. How are you?” I played with his
cheeks.
Juju: “I'm fine thanks mom”
Samkelo came to sit next to me he kissed my cheeks.
Juju: “Ntwana why you kiss her on my favourite
cheek?” Juju says looking at his father.
He laughed.
Intercom rang he quickly ran to answer it. He can't
reach it so he pulls down a cord then it comes to reach
him. He's so clever and it worries me.
Juju: “Mommy! Aunty is here open the gate!” he
shouted.
I opened the gate. He opened the door for them.
494 | P a g e
Juju: “A'chuz” when he saw Iyazi.
Iyazi: “Juju!” he screamed jumping up and down. My
ear drums will be damaged today.
Me: “Hey mtase!” we hugged.
Nontu: “Hey mtase. Samkelo”
We greeted back. Juju and Iyazi went upstairs running.
Me: “Go to playroom!” I shouted.
You'd swear I'm crazy but he understands when you're
shouting and he shouts too.
They went to the lounge I went to the kitchen to make
something for her and Samkelo to eat and the kids. I
took it to the lounge and I called the kids and they
came down to eat.
Samkelo pressed his gate remote control.
Gwajo: “A'chuz!” he screamed.
Juju came running followed by Iyazi.
Gwajo: “Haah ntwana” he brushed Juju's head then
Iyazi’s.
Gwajo is 4 Juju and Amahle are 3 Iyazi and
Milisuthando are 2. Nokwe hasn't got one and
Nomxolisi is 5 months pregnant.
They went running going upstairs and were left alone
as elders.
Me: “How are you guys?” to Thabi and Andile.
Thabi: “We good and I hope you're good too”
I gave juice Andile and Samkelo sat for a while then
they went to meet the guys in their favourite bar.
Rachel Zee Nokwe came after they left. Nomxolisi was
495 | P a g e
the last to come in Kat came into make sure she is
fine.
Nomxolisi knows everything and she is the member in
THE EAGLES.
Nomxo: “You can leave now” she snapped.
Kat: “Hey ladies and bye” He quickly went out before
kids see him because they would've wanted him to
take them out. These kids have skills to make one of
them to take the out for ice cream or pizzas.
I wanted to check that number but I was busy today
and my girls are here so I can't do it I have to drink with
them. We ordered Pizza for kids and for us. Namisa and
Spider couldn't join us they're out of the country.
We were drinking our wine I felt sorry for Nomxo for
not drinking I also hate it when I was pregnant.
They help me to prepare a feast because the guys will
come back hungry. I went to check the kiss they were
still playing.
At 18:50 the guys came back. Sakhi wasn't with them
Nokwe said he went to the airport but he'll come back.
When the food was ready the table was already set
and kid will eat in the lounge and we'll watch them.
I dished for Mam'S (mam' Salamina) went to give her in
her cottage. She has the kitchen in her cottage but
when we have gatherings I dish up for her.
When we were done eating I heard a hoot but it won't
be Sakhi he would call if its him. We went to wash
dishes and cleaned the kitchen the kids went upstairs
496 | P a g e
when they were done.
Nokwe's phone rang and she went to open the gate for
the husband.
Nokwe: “Hey babe. What the hell is this Sakhi?” she is
shouting.
Sakhi came carrying a little boy who is about 2 years
but what I don't understand is why he is carrying
a child we don't know because he doesn’t have one.
Sakhi: “Babe calm down” We're all standing now
looking at Nokwe.
Nokwe: “Don't tell me to calm down!” The kids came
to downstairs running. Rachel took them upstairs and
locked the door.
Sakhi: “I found him inside the gate with this backpack”
Nokwe: “Don't lie to me”
Thabi went to Nokwe to calm her down because she
was crying. Kat took the backpack in Sakhi's hand he
opened it. I was so shocked about what is happening
now.
Kat: “There's a birth certificate here”
Spikes: “At least there’s something. What it says?”
He kept quiet for a while.
Kat: “Smamukele Akhona Khu....”he didn't finish to
read it.
Samkelo sat down on the floor.
Silence.

497 | P a g e
Chapter 30

When I looked at Samkelo his eyes were red. His

hands-on top of his head.
Kat: “Samkelo!” he gave him a stare.
He is quiet. Everyone was looking at Samkelo...
Why this boy was inside my gate? Why he hasn't said
anything since Sakhi came with the boy? He got
up and made his way towards me and he was walking
slowly...
Me: “Samkelo”
He is quiet.
Me: “Samkelo!”
He kept quiet.
Me: “No! No! Samkelo” I was shaking my head my eyes
were filled with tears.
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry babe” his voice is trembling.
I slowly sat down on the floor I broke down he knelt in
front of me. I was sobbing.
Samkelo: “Babe please....”
Me: “Don't touch me!”
Maybe after an hour I managed to go upstairs went to
my bedroom and locked myself inside. I took
his suitcase and put his clothes in I was crying I couldn't
believe it but it makes sense now all my
suspicions were right but I didn't know there was a
baby involved.
498 | P a g e
After I put his clothes I took my gun and put it at the
back on my waist then made my way to downstairs.
They were all looking at me.
Me: “Take your shit and leave my house”
Silence.
Samkelo: “Babe can we tal...” His voice was begging
and pleading.
Me: “You want to talk now? Okay I ask you a question
you answer!” I'm not crying now.
Me: “How old is he?”
Samkelo: “2 years...” he was looking down at his feet.
Me: “2 years old Samkelo? So you are telling me that
you had impregnated your floozie in three months on
our marriage!!?”I'm yelling.
He kept quiet.
Me: “What's her mother's name and surname?” We're
standing and talking in front of them.
Samkelo: “Babe please calm down” soflty
Me: “Don't tell me to calm down. Since you're not
telling me her name please leave my house!!”
I shouted.
I went towards Sakhi to look at this boy who came to
cause havoc in my house. He is cute like his father he is
a clone of Junior.
Me: “Ahhhhh!” I screamed I took my weave out and
roughly shake my hair with my both hands.
I felt like I'm losing my mind.
Spikes: “Drink here” he gave me a glass of water.
499 | P a g e
After few minutes I was drowsy.
In the morning I was woke up to vomit then came back
he wasn't in bed... I started to cry again thinking if what
happened yesterday I think of taking Juju to Mtunzini I
can't deal with him I'm so stressed.
I went to take a shower I didn't made bed because I'll
sleep all day. What happened to my perfect life?
I took my phone and went downstairs it was quiet like
there's no one.
Mam'S: “Nompe how are you feeling?”
Me: “I'm good” She took my breakfast in the oven. I
wasn't hunger how can I eat if my life is such a mess.
Mam'S: “Your mother and Motherin-law called me
checking on you” The ladies and children are not here.
Me: “My phone is off I'm sorry Mam'S”
My voice is scratchy I cried the whole night thinking
about everything we had between me thinking that he
loves me but no I was wrong.
I switched on my phone...
I quickly went to bathroom here in downstairs to
vomit. I think it’s the pill Spikes put in the water I last
drank last night. I can't even remember how I went
upstairs but I was Samkelo's face then I doze off.
When I came back to the kitchen my phone was
ringing. It was him I wanted to puke. There were about
50 missed calls from him 4 from Mom 3 from
Grandma. I take it they know about it and they will give
me lecture especially my grandma.
500 | P a g e
My phone rang its MaNdlovu I can't deal with her right
now.
Juju: “Ntwana yami!”
He came running and I heard noise coming towards the
kitchen.
Juju: “Mom where is Ntwana?”
Me: “He is at work baby” I turned to look at him.
Juju: “Were you crying” he frowned.
I knelt to his level height
Me: “No baby I wasn't”
Juju: “You look so ugly mom”
This child will amaze you with his question. He is so
observant like his father. He saw that I was crying.
When I turned he was leaning on the chair looking so
lost he is still wearing the same clothes he came with
yesterday.
Zee: “Go and prepare yourself we going to Ushaka”
Me: “I can't I need to sleep"
Zee: “Sleeping for the whole day will make things
worse now go and change make sure you
look beautiful when you come here”
Nontu: “I agree go”
When I got to my bedroom my phone rang.
Me: “Hey Mother”
Mom: “I've been trying to call you since yesterday”
Me: “Sorry mah my phone was off”
Mom: “Nana I need to talk to you”
Me: “I'm not ready to talk about its mom”
501 | P a g e
Mom: “I'll talk and you'll listen to me okay? I know
your man flopped big time I know you're hurting right
now but I'll tell you the truth as it. Yeah your man
made a big mistake and you're chased him out are you
feeling better for kicking him out?”
Me: “No”
Mom: “This mistake he has done can make mess your
marriage or make it strong”
Me: “What does that mean mom?”
Mom: “If your keep on fighting with him it will mess
things up between you two but if you take his child in
your house and nurture him he will see another side of
you that will make him appreciate you more than he is
right now”
Me: “Mom I'm supposed to take his child in my house
to live with us?” I felt that breaking my heart.
Mom: “That child has the same blood as your Juju
either you like it or not and it won't change
because you're angry. You have every right to be angry
but if you let anger control you when you calm
down your man will be long gone and happy with
someone who'll accept him and his baggage”
I took a deep breath.
Mom: “If you're kick that child out Lucia (MaNdlovu)
will take him in and poison him against you when she
dies you'll be forced to live with him you'll be his first
enemy. Your husband is bound to make mistakes but
you have to calm down and think about your child and
502 | P a g e
your future”
Me: “Thanks mom for your advice's”
We said our goodbyes and I was feeling a little better
after talking to her. When I went back Juju was holding
Smamukele's hand that amazed me.
Nontu: “He amazes me sometimes” she was looking at
them.
They took everything we'll need we used different cars
so went off to Ushaka. He was still calling nonstop.
When we got there we took kids to the Aquarium to
see the fishes. Juju wasn't himself he was happy but
not that “happy” I expected.
Juju: “Will dad fetch us?”
Me: “No babe he will not fetch us” He was
disappointed to hear that I think he miss him.
We had a great day wine was acting strange today
after drinking it I went to vomit two times maybe it I'm
angry. When he got home the ladies prepared dinner I
wasn't in the mood. I went to the lounge and I threw
myself in the couch...
I felt something tiny touching my face. When I slowly
opened my eyes. He was touching my face looking at
me so closely. I tried to smile.
He giggled.
His giggle is same as his father. When I woke up he
both little arms were trying to tighten my arm. I giggled
a little.
Juju came to take him and they went upstairs ladies
503 | P a g e
came to the lounge...
Zee: “Tonight we going to our houses will you manage
to be alone?”
Me: “Yeah I think” looking in the space.
Nontu: “So what will happen from now?”
Me: “I spoke to mom in the morning she made to think
hard about what this can do to my marriage”
Nokwe: “Meaning?”
Me: “This can make mess up or strength our marriage”
Nomxo: “I'm not following”
Me: “To hate an innocent child or hate him won't
change the fact that that child is his”
Rachel: “You'll take him in?”
Me: “I'm forced to. I won't allow MaNdlovu to take him
and poison him against me. It better to start
to live with him a younger age he didn't do anything
wrong to me his parents that wronged me and I would
like him to have the same privileges that Juju has”
Nomxo: “That's make sense”
Nokwe: “I can't believe you thinking to take his child in
here”
Silence.
Me: “Nokwe my anger can make me lose the man I
love because of his child. Samkelo loves Juju and
I'm sure he loves him too so me hating the child can
make him to look at as an evil woman”
Nokwe: “Evil woman? When he is the one who cheated
on you?”
504 | P a g e
Zee: “You'll never separate a man with his child”
Nomxo: “You're so matured Nompendulo for thinking
of considering it”
Nontu: “This is a tricky situation but think about your
future and your son”
“Who the hell does she think she is!” she was
screaming.
MaNdlovu: “Who gave you permission to kick my son
out of his own house?”
MaKhumalo: “You're so rude wena makoti” I laughed
out loud.
Me: “So you came all the way to tell me that? Really?”
MaNdlovu: “I'll call my son to come back to his house
and kick you out”
Me: “He knows that he is wrong so that why he went
out of his house just to give me space to think things
through”
Mandlovu: “Whatever! I need to see my grandson” she
was pacing up and down.
I went upstairs to fetch Smamukele. I first went to my
bedroom to get my gun then went to the playroom I
picked him up. He is still confused and lost but at least
he is playing with the others.
I went back downstairs carrying him in my arm. She
took him with force and kissed him.
MaNdlovu: “How are you my boy?”
He is quiet.
My friends and sister were looking at this drama that
505 | P a g e
was going on.
MaKhumalo: “He is a Khumalo” she touched his little
finger.
Mam'S came in and greeted them she offered them
something to drink. They went to sit in my lounge to
eat my food. We followed them to the lounge.
MaNdlovu: “Salamina please get his clothes I'm going
with him. He can't live here”
MaKhumalo: “This place is not good for him”
Me: “I will say this once I need you to listen to me
carefully because I won't repeat myself. Smamukele is
Samkelo's child and I am Samkelo's wife so he will stay
here with me and his brother” calmly.
MaNdlovu: “You must watch your mouth when you're
talk to me little girl”
I went to take my phone over the kitchen counter I
need to make a quick call...
It rang once.
Samkelo: “Babe thanks for calling”
Me: “Please come here before I kill someone. Now!” I
hung up.
I was pacing up and down. I felt like there's something
crawling under my skinny from head to toe.
In 10 minutes he came in....
Me: “I can't deal with your mother”
Samkelo: “What has she done now?”
Me: “She's here to take Smamukele with her to
Weneen”
506 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I thought you'll want the same thing...” I
gave him a deadly stare he looked down.
Me: “Tell her to leave Smamukele here or else” in a
cold creepy voice.
In that instance she came to the kitchen to speak to
him.
MaNdlovu: “Samkelo...”
Samkelo: “Mah who asked you to meddle in my
marriage?”
MaKhumalo: “Yeyi wena Samkelo don't talk to your
mother like that”
Samkelo: “Aunty please not now. Mah leave
Smamukele here”
MaNdlovu: “She will poison him!”
Samkelo: “You know what please leave now!” he
shouted with that deep scary voice.
He took Smamukele from his mother they took their
bags gave me a dirty look then they went off.
Smamukele: “Twana” to his father. This means he
knows him.
Nomxo: “I need to rest” They all went out we were left
alone.
Me: “We need to talk Samkelo”
Samkelo: “We can talk babe”
Silence.
Me: “I need Smamukele to be in a warm home and
have everything that Juju has. You work hard to give
Juju anything he wants so I need him to have all those
507 | P a g e
expensive toys and clothes”
He is quiet and look down at his son who is playing
with his father's fingers.
Me: “Juju miss you so much I don't want them to suffer
because we are not together anymore” His eyes were
all out.
Me: “Can you please buy Smamukele a bed they'll
share a room and buy clothes for him. You can come
Monday Wednesday and Saturday to spend time with
them they need you”
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry for hurting you I didn’t mean to
but thank you so much babe... For taking him it's
means a lot babe for me”
Me: “Okay”
Juju came running to his father. Smamukele fell asleep
in his father's arms.
Juju: “You don't love me anymore”
He put Sma (Smamukele) in the couch and took Juju
and out him in his lap I was looking at them.
Samkelo: “Ngigcwele ngawe ntwana yami” he brushed
his son's head.
Juju: “You left me here alone”
Samkelo: “I didn't leave you my boy. Daddy is busy
with work these days”
Juju: “Okay. Buy me those sneakers like yours” I
thought he'll cry.
Samkelo: “Okay I'll buy it for you only if you promise
you'll be a good boy”
508 | P a g e
Juju: “Okay I promise”
I took Sma to my bedroom to sleep. He was peaceful
and cute like his father I put a throw on him spend 5
minutes looking at him.
When I turned I found him standing in the door looking
at me.
I went out of the room to the ladies they offered him
dinner. In two days
I found him standing in the door looking at me.
I went out of the room to the ladies they offered him
dinner. In two days he looks so horrible and I don't care
after washing the dishes I hugged them and kissed the
kids and they left. Samkelo took Juju who fell asleep on
the couch to his room and it took a while then he came
back to the lounge.
Samkelo: “I have to leave now”
Me: “Okay”
He got up and I got up to lock the door after him.
When he was about to open the door.
Samkelo: “Take care of yourself” As if he cares.
Me: “Okay bye”
He got out then I locked the door. I switched off the
lights downstairs then went to check Juju. I found them
sleeping in the same bed I think Samkelo did that I
kissed Juju's forehead I pulled the duvet up when I was
about to close the door I went back into...
I looked at Sma he was sleeping so peacefully his lips
were little pouted out like Juju's when he is asleep they
509 | P a g e
got it from their father he does that too when he is
asleep. It was nice to look at him sleeping I brushed his
head softly.
I went to my bedroom took a shower then got in bed.
My phone beeped.
“You must watch your every move because I'm
everywhere” SMS came through my phone.
I quickly got up went to their room I picked them both
to my bedroom where I can't see them.
These bodyguards can be useless sometimes. I need to
find his mother and find out why she gave her
baby away I mean there's no one who can give away
her baby.
I took my laptop I wants to find whose number is this.
Minutes later I found that it’s a burner phone so
there's nothing I can find. I need to hack Samkelo's
phone maybe I'll get something useful.
In a minute I hacked it. I went to his call logs they were
lot of unsaved numbers in his logs I checked his
messages I found a message...
“He found out”
I took the paper and pen I wrote the number down.
Another message “He is dangerous I'm scared”
I went to his WhatsApp I didn't find anything so I
decided to look at his pictures maybe I'll
get something. There were pictures of us Juju's
pictures when he was an infant. I remembered the
old good times we had before and I missed our life
510 | P a g e
back then but I was in the dark back then.
I looked all the pictures of Juju he was a chubby baby
but now he is skinny and rude. I came across a picture
of Juju that I never saw in my phone and in his album
and I've never saw it before....
I zoomed its Juju......
Same blanket Same binnie and everything but why I've
never saw it before?
There's....
Wait.
I zoomed the picture I saw the hospital linen written...I
zoomed it again...
Its written Melomed but how because I went to
Netcare after giving birth to Junior in this house
and went to to the hospital after so this means the
baby on this picture is not Juju.... Its Smamukele...
Samkelo is clever that I thought I'll have notice even if I
came across it.
I haven't slept at 06:30 am I went downstairs to clean
the house because Mam'S is not working on weekends
but she babysits when I need to go somewhere.
I went back to bathroom they were still asleep. I took a
shower when I came back there were awake jumping
in my bed.
Me: “Hey! Stop it”
Juju: “Morning mom!”
Sometimes I think to take him to the doctor to check
his ears maybe they're damaged. I went to back to the
511 | P a g e
bathroom to run a bath for both I bath them and took
them to their bedroom to get them dressed. I made
them breakfast they came to eat after eating they ran
back to the playroom.
Eggs have a funny smell I couldn't eat them so I made
Jungle oats at least it I managed to eat few spoons. The
door opened he came in with plastics put them down
and went back to get to get other things in the car.
I went to the lounge I called Spikes.
Spikes: “Are you okay?”
Me: “Yeah I'm good I need you to find Sma's mother
for me”
Spikes: “Eish! You need to talk to SK first or else I'll be
in trouble”
Me: “Okay” I dropped the call.
Samkelo: “Sawubona MaMwelase”
Mxm!
Me: “Yebo unjani?”
Samkelo: “I'm good”
He came to sit the couch across where I was sitting. He
gave me a Ferrero Roche chocolate.
Samkelo: “Have you slept in the past few days?” I took
the chocolate and put it on over the coffee table.
Me: “No thanks to you” He looked down.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry babe”
I got up from the couch I felt dizzy he caught me after I
almost fell.
Samkelo: “Are you okay?”
512 | P a g e
Me: “Yeah I'm fine get your filthy hands off me” I
snapped.
He moved from me. The noise was coming towards the
lounge.
Juju: “Ntwana!”
Sma: “Twana”
They came running in they went to their father. They
made this hand shaking thing but Sma was confused
but his father taught him how to do it. They were
laughing. I went to the kitchen to get juice.
I heard tiny hand touching me at the back of my thigh
when I turned it was Smamukele...
Sma: “I want” he was speaking at a lower voice I
couldn't hear what he was trying to say.
I went down to his level I wanted to hear what he was
saying...
Sma: “I want phood”
Me: “Okay. But I need you to say can I please have
food”
He stood still.
Sma: “Can I pease had phood”
He's still pronouncing words in his own way.
I giggled.
He looked so cute I want to love him like my own but
how because I was betrayed and he came but he is
innocent...
Me: “Okay I'll make something to eat”
When I got up he was watching at us. I think he don't
513 | P a g e
trust me around Sma if I were him I would be careful
around me...
Me: “Need something to eat?”
Samkelo: “Yes please”
He is ugly I've never saw with a long beard and hairs.
He cuts his hair in a cute brush and it suits him with a
small beard but now he looks like a 50-year-old.
Me: “Okay”
I made sandwiches with juice after eating he then he
went to prepare Sma's bed in Juju's room and he was
happy for them to share the same room.
I can't eat anything I'm not hungry but orange juice can
do. I started to prepare lunch for us it was ready I
dished up for Mam'S took it to her. When I came back
to the house it was quiet I went upstairs to check up on
them....
I found the three of them sleeping on the floor their
heads were on his chest I went to take my phone to
take a picture of them then I went back to the lounge...
I think must have doze off....
Samkelo: “Shhh don't wake her up” he whispered
Juju: “But I'm hungry” he whispered back
I slowly open my eyes Sma was standing in front of me
as I was sleeping.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry to wake you up”
"I need to dish up"-me.
I got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face
and hands then went to the kitchen to dish up
514 | P a g e
for them. They sat down and ate I made the dishes
when they were done eating. Boys fell asleep on
the couch he took them to their bedroom.
Samkelo: “I'm worried about you” He came to sit on
the couch across mine.
Mee: “I'm fine don't worry about me”
Samkelo: “You didn't eat today”
Me: “I ate in the morning and I'm fine!” I snapped.
Samkelo: “I know you're angry and you have every
right to be but you need to eat” that came out loud
from him.
Me: “Don't you dare! Tell me what to do or not to”
Samkelo: “I'm not trying to tell you what to do but I
care for you...”
Me: “Whatever!”
Quiet.
He went to kiss his kids’ goodnight then went off I
don't know where he is staying and I don't care...
My phone rang.
Voice: “Your life is about to take another spin” the
scratchy voice.
Me: “Who are you?”
The call was dropped.
Samkelo: “Who was that?”
Me: “Really?” I was pissed.
I went to take boys to sleep in my bedroom.
This is getting on my nerves now. This means whoever
this is it is related to Smamukele but he is
515 | P a g e
Samkelo's younger version. There's more to this. I don't
know when I fell asleep but I need to meet
Spikes today.
Samkelo is doing a very great job to ruin my life I need
to see the crèche owner today because Sma needs to
go to same crèche as Juju. I bath them and gave them
food and they went to the playroom.
So it is Monday I think they'll accept Sma I had meeting
with the crèche owner in afternoon. I met
Spikes for lunch.
I was happy to see that after that I went to do lunch
with Spikes.
Me: “I need you help mfethu”
Spikes: “Hayi speak to him first then we'll talk”
Me: “Mxm you're not helping here”
He refused to help me with this without Samkelo's
approval. I went back home things and left for
the meeting at crèche. I need Sma to attend the same
crèche with Juju it will be easy to drop them off
and fetch them in the same spot since I'll be a single
parent.
The meeting went well so next week Monday he'll be
starting.
My phone beeped.
I took it to there was an attachment....
It was the picture of my house my bedroom me and
boys sleeping boys playing in the lounge. Luckily
I was 5 minutes away but I made it two. I found them
516 | P a g e
in the lounge playing same clothes I saw in
that picture...
They greeted me. Sma is starting to be familiar with the
place. I told the boys to go to the playroom I took all
the cameras in my house with the device that senses
listening devices and cameras.
I went back to the house I need to make an urgent call.
Me: “Spikes there's someone who was in my house last
night there were cameras and listening devices all over
my house” angry tone.

Chapter 31

Spikes: “Okay I'm on it” he hung up.

I called our guy inside SAPS for advice of taking Sma in
he said I must keep him because Samkelo is the father
of the baby and he was dropped off inside our house. I
made another call...
Me: “Phindi I need Smamukele to have a tracker
tonight”
Phindi: “Okay I'll come to your house at 19:00pm”
I heard voices and the door opened. Andile Sakhi Kat
and Samkelo came to the lounge.
Sakhi: “Nompe”
Me: “I'm good”
517 | P a g e
Andile: “Are you fine?”
Me: “Yeah”
My phone rang.
Me: “Got something for me?” They looked at me.
Spikes: “You won't believe it”
Me: “What do you have?”
Spikes: “It Zakes Mogale”
Me: “What! The one and only?” All eyes were on me.
Spikes: “I'm not allowed to say this but his wife is Sma's
mother. His wife got pregnant with Sma she
then went to hiding after giving birth she gave Sma to
her friend from Mahlathini then he found out that she
was once pregnant and the child was Samkelo’s so he
is out for the revenge”
Me: “I think I'll continue from now on but call me if you
find something” He dropped the call.
Kat: “What is going on?”
My phone beeped again.
It was a Logo of The Destroyer's logo with a message...
Be ready for war!
Me: “We need to be prepared for war! The shit is
about to happen”
They looked so confused.
Me: “Samkelo I'm going to ask you one question if you
don't answer me this marriage is over” He quickly sat
up.
Me: “Who is Smamukele's mother?” He cleared his
throat.
518 | P a g e
Silence.
Samkelo: “Happiness”
Me: “Surname?”
Samkelo: “Mogale”
Me: “Wow! Having a child with Happiness Mogale
you've just declared war”
Samkelo: “What?”
Kat: “War? Nompe don't beat around the bush”
Me: “It’s been weeks now he was sending strange
messages and today he sent pictures of this house and
boys playing and me sleeping with the boys in my
bedroom”
Andile: “He?”
Me: “Zakes Mogale” I sighed.
Sakhi: “What?”
Kat: “Zakes Mogale as in Thee Zig-Mazaka?” Samkelo
eyes were all out!
Me: “The one and only!”
Them: “Samkelo!”
Samkelo: “I didn't know”
Me: “When you see flozzies you don't use your brain”
Silence.
“If he wants war he will get one” When we turned it
was Spider?
Me: “Nxaa! wena you always sneaking around” He
laughed.
Spider: “At least it The Destroyers I would've fainted if
it was The Scavengers so everyone must chill”
519 | P a g e
We planned our way forward on this Ta Kat informed
the members. Samkelo and I are leading this mention
after discussing the kids came running in I was in the
kitchen to get juice then came back to the lounge.
Juju: “A'chuz” to Andile and he picked him up.
Andile: “Fede?”
Juju: “Ngigrand”
Spider: “Hayi maarn Samkelo this is your younger
version mjita” he picked Sma up and tickled him.
Me: “Phindi and her team are coming for the younger
one” His face changed but I didn't care about it.
Kat: “Okay”
Juju went to his father so as Sma so they were playing
with him. Sakhi took Sma and tickled him. To know
their bad and darkest side but when they’re around
their children you see the most cute and soft side
ever.
He took out a folded paper in his pocket handed it to
his father.
Samkelo: “What is this ntwana” he unfolded the
paper.
Juju: “It's your car” He likes to draw even though it’s
not clear but he is like sit.
Samkelo: “It's nice ntwana”
Juju: “No it’s not” He drew it now he says it’s not
beautiful.
Juju: “There's black juice” he pointed to the drawing.
Sakhi looked at it he was confused.
520 | P a g e
Sakhi: “Black juice?”
Kat and Andile were drinking.
Samkelo: “I'm confused”
Juju started crying.
What is wrong with him? He is crying because his
father said he don't understand now he is crying.
Really? He tried to calm him down but he cried harder
and Sma cried when he saw him crying.
We were confused by all of this. I calm them down
they both slept in the couch.
Spider: “What the hell?”
Samkelo: “Confused as you are”
I took the picture to look at it. It is Samkelo car
coloured in black it has a black spot under it. I
don't understand what's made him to cry though.
Drama!
Kat: “There's something about this drawing”
Silence.
Me: “Black juice?”
They looked at me.
Me: “Which car were you driving today?” to Samkelo. I
wanted clues.
Samkelo: “Mercedes AMG CLA 200” he frowned.
Me: “Black car? Black juice? Damn it”
Them: “What is it?”
Me: “Samkelo's black car with black juice under it this
means black juice is oil coming from the car”
Samkelo: “What? Do you he tempered my car”
521 | P a g e
I quickly got up and went outside the house they were
following went straight to his car I took my phone out
the pocket switched the torch on then I knelt to look
under it....
The oil was leaking from the car I used my index finger
to touch the oil...
Me: “Fuck!”
I went back quickly in the house and they came after
me.
Me: “Look at this” I showed them my index finger.
Samkelo: “What? He just signed his death warrant”
with that deep cold voice.
Sakhi: “I'm still confused how did he knew?”
Kat: “Do you think someone draw it’s not Juju?”
Me: “That can't be true but he likes drawing too”
Sakhi: “How did it make sense to you?"
Me: “I'm his mother you'll never understand”
They laughed. Went back to the lounge they all
followed.
Juju was dreaming he was sweating and moving like he
is fighting or something...
Samkelo: “Wake him up babe” Who said I'm his babe
he must not annoy me at this time?
Me: “Wait...”
Juju started to cry he was fight in his dream and
shaking his head. We all looked at what
was happening.
Juju: “Ntwana!!” he woke up and sat up.
522 | P a g e
Me: “Baby are you okay?” I took him to my arms he
just cried.
My baby was having a nightmare.
Phindi called and he went to open for her. She came
with her team. They came to greet then Samkelo
went to open for them in the background where he'll
be operated to install the tracker in his head.
After 3 hours they were done.
Phindi: “He needs to sleep”
Me: “Thanks”
Phindi: “Please don't it my work”
They didn't stay they went off. All kids have tracker in
their heads but My friends and sister doesn't know
about it. It must stay that way!
Samkelo took boys to their room. The guys went off
after Phindi.
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry for the pain I've caused you I
didn't meant to my love. Can we please talk about it?”
he was behind me.
Me: “I need to be alone”
Samkelo: “Babe please”
Me: “Samkelo don't”
He went upstairs he came back with a throw and
pillow.
Me: “And then?”
Samkelo: “You expect me to leave you and the boys
here alone?”
Me: “Please leave” I'm getting annoyed.
523 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Take your gun and shoot me if you have to
but I'm not leaving”
I took my laptop and went to my room closed the door
I went to take a bath then went to bed. I was woken up
by Sma tapping gently on my cheeks.
Me: “Hey baby” He was down I think it’s the meds.
Sma: “Hey mommy” his voice was scratchy.
For the first time he called me mommy ever since and
it’s been week he's been here.
It 07:30am.
Sma: “I'm ungry”
Me: “Okay babe let's go to make you something to eat”
I got up from the bed luckily I was in my pyjamas
picked him up then made our way to the kitchen when
I was in the stairs I heard their voices I went back to
out my robe on then went to the kitchen.
Samkelo: “I didn't know what he wanted”
Kat: “Me too”
They saw me in the kitchen and they came to the
kitchen...
Kat: “He told you what he wanted to eat?”
Samkelo: “I gave him everything but he cried”
Me: “Is that why he's voice is scratchy?”
They looked at me. Sakhi and Spider came to the
kitchen to.
I put him on the kitchen counter and told him not to
move they were looking at me. I took his bowl
out and weetbex milk and sugar. He likes weetbex not
524 | P a g e
cornflakes. I made it for with lots of milk.
They were all looking at me.
Me: “Let's eat baby” He opened his mouth spoon after
spoon.
Sakhi: “He'll choke”
Me: “He likes that way if you don't do that he doesn’t
finish his food” Kat clapped his hands followed

Samkelo: “We tried everything but he cried”
I managed to laugh.
Me: “He came to me and told me that he's “ungry””
They laughed.
Kat: “I don't understand how women understand
children” he was confused.
Me: “Motherly instincts you'll never understand. You
must know these things because she'll give birth
in few months”
Kat: “You can say it again”
Kids brings the soft side on him I wonder how he'll be
like when his baby is born. It’s their second baby
but the first child Nomxo was shot when she was 5
months because of Kat's bitch so she broke off
the engagement and went to live in Argentina but I'm
glad their got back together after 7 years.
I went to clean my bedroom after feeding Sma then
took a shower. When I went back to the kitchen
he offered me breakfast I sat down and ate... Juju came
running in his pyjamas and Sma was behind him but he
525 | P a g e
wasn't running. I wonder where Juju gets all this
energy in the morning. They aren't going to crèche it
too dangerous.
I went to bath them and I had fun with them. What I
noticed about Sma is that he likes water than
Juju. After dressing them we went to the kitchen made
sandwiches for us and juice.
They were gone when we came down.
Sma was struggling to hold a glass with so I took straw
for him...
First sip....
He laughed... He was enjoying drinking with... He
wasn't eating anymore he was drinking his juice
and laughing in between. I cleaned up we were done
they went to their playroom then I went to the lounge
I watched movies all day I went to check them in their
playroom I found them sleeping I took one by one to
their bedroom. At 12:45 I went to prepare for diner the
boys came in the kitchen...
Juju: “I want food!”
Sma: “Phood!”
Me: “You want?” I gave them a stare. They just looked
at me.
Me: “Say after me.... Can I please have food”
Tham: “Can I please have food” they both said but Sma
said "phood". I like they're energy it takes my mind
from thinking lots of things.
I made them sandwiches because I was still cooking. I
526 | P a g e
cooked Samp and tripe Samkelo loves it. After eating
they went to watch cartoons in the lounge. Juju knows
how to use remote control so I don't have to do that
for him.
The door opened it was the guys they came to the
kitchen they greeted. He wasn't wearing like this in the
morning and all of them in that matter.
Me: “Can I offer you something to drink?”
Kat: “Whiskey please you'll find us in the lounge”
I took glass and went to take whiskey then to the
lounge. Kat poured them and they all drank once.
There's something wrong here.
Me: “I'm listening” I sat down. He cleared his throat.
Samkelo: “Uhm you and boys can relax now Zakes
won't bother you anymore”
Me: “What does that mean?”
Samkelo: “He won't be a problem from now l and
forever”
I wanted to bea...
Me: “And you didn't include me because?” my voice
was raising.
Samkelo: “I didn't want you to be involved in this that
war was declared for me not you” he said calmly.
Others were quiet.
Me: “So you think what's best for me now? I'm not
your child I make my decision”
Samkelo: “It’s done already so I need you to calm
down”
527 | P a g e
He drives me crazy when I'm talking to him and him
being calmly it get to my last nerve.
Me: “Okay then give me Happiness”
They looked at me like I said a bad thing...
Samkelo: “I won't give Happiness she is Smamukele's
mother so I can't”his voice was firm and deep so I have
to leave it.
Me: “Okay I want to see the video” Serious killings
have video so I need to it.
Samkelo: “Okay but not now”
When I was about to dish boys came running in the
kitchen Sma wanted juice only but I told him he'll get
juice after eating his food and Juju wanted my phone
but I didn't give him I told them to go to their father in
the lounge... I heard a car pulling outside...
The floor opened....
Iyazi: “Aunty Nompe!”
Ncooah it was my nephew Iyazi with his parents I didn't
knew that they were visiting in the middle of the
week.
Me: “Hey my boy” I picked him up and kissed his
cheek. He greeted me because he wasn't welcomed
by Juju.
Me: “Hey guys” to Iyazi's parents.
Nontu: “Hey how are you?”
Me: “I'm good Mtaka mah and you?” When I was
about to greet Thokozani...
Juju: “A'chuz!” he came running followed by Sma.
528 | P a g e
Fist bumping first then Iyazi fist bumped Sma. It was
good seeing him smiling. The guys came from
the lounge to the kitchen
Samkelo: “Haah ninjani?”
Nontu: “Siyaphila ninjani?”
The intercom rang.... Sma ran to it pulled the cord to
bring it to his Juju has taught him to be naughty
I see....
Sma: “Hellow”
We all laughed at him. Samkelo went to open it was
Nokwe alone because Sakhi was here with us....
Nokwe: “Hello everyone”
This is a nice surprise I love it.
After her Zee Spikes and their daughter Milisuthando
came in. She is a funny kid to be around with speaking
like adult. After them Thabi and Gwajo came in.
The kids went to the playroom I can't deal with them
when they're all here. Noise fighting being wrestlers
and girls bullying boys.
We went to the lounge with drinks.
Intercom again...
Samkelo went to open...
Nomxo: “Yeyii I'll kill you next time if you're driving like
that!”
AK-47 came first to the lounge...
Nomxo: “I'm hungry!”
It was Nomxo who was shouting she set next to her
man. She didn't greet sometimes pregnancy can turn
529 | P a g e
you a mad woman.
Kat: “Babe why are you shouting?”
Nomxo: “AK-47 almost killed me. Tjo!”
Kat: “AK what is it with you with pissing pregnant
women?”
AK: “Haa she was complaining about the fan in my car
when I turned it off minutes later she complained that
she is feeling heat so I drove faster so I cange there
quickly”
We all laughed.
Kat: “Do you remember when you took Nompe to the
surprise baby shower?”
They were all in stitches. I hate to watch that video
Samkelo tease me about.
Me: “Haaah! Ladies can you please help me to dish up”
I got up from the couch and they followed me there.
Me: “Niyaphila kodwa?” They replied.
Me: “It won't be enough for all of us we'll dish up for
the guys then we'll ordered food for us and kids”
Thabi: “Good idea”
Nokwe was quiet.
Me: “Are you fine?” to Nokwe
Nokwe: “I'm fine mngani”
Me: “No you're not. Out with it”
Nokwe: “Okay!” she snapped.
Whoaa!
Nokwe: “I'm pregnant” she rolled her eyes. We all
screamed
530 | P a g e
Me: “Wow! Congrats mngani” I went to hug her.
Nomxo: “How many weeks?”
Nokwe: “Eight weeks”
Us: “Ncooah!” We all congratulated her but she looked
like she wasn't happy about it.
Me: “But you don't look happy”
Nokwe: “I am but I'm worried about my wine” We
laughed out loud.
Nontu: “You're crazy wena”
Zee: “Why you're didn't greet Sakhi?”
Nontu: “I don't want him to be near me”
Thabi: “Hormones!”
Nomxo: “I got my partner"
She frowned. I'm sure she is frustrated by not drinking
wine.
Me: “I'll serve my Hus... Samkelo only”
Zee: “Yaphapha”
We took their food to them in the lounge. They
laughed when the saw each of us giving her
husband his food.
We ordered food with the kids then I showed them
their rooms even the guys are spending the night here
and kids have their rooms too. Mili was happy to have
her own room. After cleaning the kitchen
I was tired then us ladies went to our separated
bedroom. I went to take a shower... I felt his
presence when I turned I bumped to his bare broad
chest...
531 | P a g e
Me: “And then?”
Samkelo: “I wanted to take a shower with my wife” My
anger level was raising.
Me: “Well I don't want to take shower with you so
please leave me alone”
Samkelo: “I'll rather be here with you take all
resentment silent treatment and all of it than to be
out there roaming around temptations that will
destroy my marriage more than it is”
Those words. He took my hand.
Samkelo: “Babe I know I broke your heart and your
trust in me but I'm willing to do anything to fix things
between us. Us living separately its breaks my heart
especially when you're not laughing or talking to me”
I felt tears in my eyes. I looked up to try to hold my
tears.
Samkelo: “Please don't hold them”
Tears came flooding. He took me to his chest... I felt
protected and safe in his chest... I sob in his chest.
He stretched his hand to switch off the shower tap. He
didn't calm me down he let me cry when I was calm..
Me: “I've never felt like this in my life. You're broke my
heart Samkelo...”
Samkelo: “I'm sorry babe...”
Me: “I told you to be honest me in the first place but
you didn't do that. You hid him for 2 years and you
haven't explained the whole story I had to find out
myself but its incomplete story”
532 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Can we please take shower first?”
He looks sincere I can see it in his eyes. He broke my
heart by sleeping with another woman and made her
pregnant but my feeling for him haven't changed I still
love him and I can't fight the fact that I love him.
We took a shower in silence but it was like our souls
was speaking with each other. He washed my back and
I remembered the old good times.... After taking
shower he took a towel for me I wiped myself and he
did. I lotioned wore my pyjamas and I found him sitting
on edge of the bed. I made my way to the bed and put
my head on the pillow... He lay next to me room my
head to his chest...
Me: “I need you to tell me everything when I say
everything don't leave a single with. Say it all”
He took a deep breath.
Samkelo: “After the leave I took from work for
preparing our wedding I went back to work so I got
a big case to work on in Joburg (I remember that time).
I was the defence lawyer and I was living in the hotel
became Pretoria was far so Happiness is in the same
firm with the defendant lawyer so I met
her twice when we went to her firm. After a day she
called me to have drinks then we went out for drinks
after that I went back to my hotel in the next morning
she knocked in my door she got in when
I asked her what she wanted in my hotel in no minute
she was naked in my room. I was tempted babe
533 | P a g e
I'm so sorry”
My tears fell on his chest. I was crying silently.
Samkelo: “So whenever I was there she came in my
hotel room when the I won the case she said we had to
celebrate so we celebrated in my hotel room then after
few weeks when I was back she told me that she is
pregnant. I did the background check then I found out
that she is Zakes Mogale's wife I didn't believe it at first
but knowing that it might happen to be my baby I took
her took her to our safe
house in Limpopo then after giving birth the baby came
out looking exactly like so I we agreed to take him to
eMahlabathini to her friend to raise him Zakes did
serious investigation about her then he found out the
whole truth. For keeping him safe his mother took him
here”
Thinking that he was doing all that under my nose but I
didn't catch anything but I suspected his behaviour but
I didn't paid attention to it.
Me: “This explains the calls you're were doing in ewe
or late in the night?”
Samkelo: “I'm so sorry babe it will never happen I
promise you”
Me: “I still need time to deal with everything that has
happen”
Samkelo: “Babe I can't live without you. Waking up in
the morning you not in my side it breaks my heart and
for seeing my kids in schedule it frustrate me I know
534 | P a g e
I’ve wronged you but babe please can
I move in I'll sleep in a guestroom if I have to”
Me: “How many are they?”
Silence.
Samkelo: “Two before Sma came home but I broke up
with both. I can't lose you and my kids”
Me: “You're better be or else...”
He chuckled.
Me: “I need to sleep now you can go to your room”
Samkelo: “Babe our guestrooms are full and I don't
have a place to sleep in. Can you I please sleep here?”
Me: “In the floor?”
Samkelo: “Haah babe I promise I'll behaviour”
Me: “Okay. If you try any funny business you'll sleep in
the floor”
He giggled.
Samkelo: “Okay I promise”
We got in bed. He made me to sleep in his chest I
missed him so much just to listen on his heartbeat....

Chapter 32

Samkelo: “I'm not proud of what I've done babe but

thanks for taking Smamukele to live here with us.
I'll always appreciate what you've done for me I
535 | P a g e
promise you I'll be a great husband to you and great
father to my kids”
Me: “I was hurt at first but I couldn't change the fact
that he shares the same blood as Juju. He is
innocent and young he needs his father so I couldn't
deny him that opportunity when you're still alive”
He was quiet I think he was thinking.
Samkelo: “Our parents wanted to intervene but I told
them to give us time because I knew my mother
would've been a pain so I told them to give us time”
Me: “Okay thanks for that. I would've faced my
Grandma MaKhumalo and MaNdlovu haa in one day
Haaa” He laughed.
Samkelo: “Why your boobs are this big?”
I missed his observant self.
Me: “Do you think I'm getting fat?”
Samkelo: “Yeah I can feel your body that you're getting
fat”
I pinch him in his arm.
Samkelo: “Ouch!”
Me: “Be nice to my bedroom”
He kissed my forehead. I missed this every night I can't
live without him. I don't know when I fell asleep
but when I woke up he was looking at me...
Samkelo: “Morning my love”
Me: “Morning. How are you?” I was yawning.
Samkelo: “I'm good and you?”
Me: “I'm good”
536 | P a g e
I noticed that he was fully dress his other clothes were
here in our closet.
Samkelo: “I'm going to the office I'll be back so on my
love”
Me: “Mhm okay. Have a nice day”
He kissed my forehead and left. I woke up made bed
and took a shower after the I got dressed when
I took my phone. The was a black card with a note next
to it...
Have fun - Your loving husband.
I called him.
Me: “Thanks I got the card”
Samkelo: “My pleasure babe. You know the pin”
Me: “Have a lovely day then”
Samkelo: “You too. I love you”
Me: “Mhm okay"
I hung up after that. I can't say that for now but I'm
going to chow his money. I'm going for shopping after
this and I'm taking my boys with. I'll spend his money
so hard and I think a massage on or something...
I heard voices laughing in my kitchen I remembered
that we have guests.
Me: “I'm hungry. What's for breakfast?” It was ladies
only the guys were not there.
Nokwe: “I saw Samkelo living your room minutes ago”
Noisy.
Nontu: “I'm glad you're trying to work things out”
Me: “I'm glad too I can't live without him”
537 | P a g e
Them: “Ncooah”
Me: “Okay I'm hungry. I have to throw away those eggs
they have a funny smell”
Thabi laughed.
Thabi: “The eggs are fine maybe it’s you who is
behaving funny”
Me: “Hayi I'm not”
I settled for sandwich and juice. They made breakfast
for kids called them to come and eat...
Sma: “Mommy can I pease have that thing to dink
juice”
He was imitating drink with straw.
Me: “Eat your food first then I'll give you a straw” I was
smiling at him.
Thabi: “You're two are getting along”
Me: “He's adorable” I was smiling looking at him.
Nokwe: “I adore you for taking him in mngani”
I was amazed to here that from her at first she was
against it but I think her pregnancy changed her mind
about Sma. He quickly finished his food then I gave him
a straw then he was laughing at that sound made by a
straw.
Me: “I have the black card on me so today I'm going for
shopping!”
They laughed.
Them: “So do us!”
We all laughed
We went to bath kids and dressed them. Sma was
538 | P a g e
happy to go out he was jumping up and down I think
he need that ever since he came here I didn't allow
them to play outside I was not safe for them.
Sma's existence broke my heart soul and trust I had for
my husband but I'll die first if there's someone who
wants to hurt him in anyway.
When we arrived at Gateway we went for the kids
shopping first....
Juju and Gwajo took pair of skinny jeans while Sma
took pointed a nice black jacket. I took it for him he
smiled. He pointed grey skinny jean and black boots
and I took his size and a blue Spiderman T�shirt he is
good on choosing colour. Juju had many ugly colours
shirts. I made him to choose what he likes.
Sma was now standing still. I went to him.
Me: “Go and take everything you like my boy”
He nodded. I helped Juju to choose his shoes.
Thabi: “He has a good taste”
Me: “No he's not looks at this ugly shirt”
Thabi: “I'm talking about Sma just look at his basket its
unlike Juju's and Gwajo's”
Me: “I noticed when he picked the first three”
Gwajo called his mommy.
Mili wanted all the pink dresses and shoes and
everything I wonder how Zee man ages her. Nontu
and
Iyazi we're fighting as always Iyazi wanted sneakers
only. Nomxo bought some new clothes again for her
539 | P a g e
unborn baby. I bought them underwear socks scarfs
bennies and gloves. Winter isin two months so I need
to buy it now. We went to have lunch after eating
having lunch with our kids then we went back home.
We found guys in the lounge watching soccer...
The kids went to their fathers in the lounge my kitchen
was messy I don't know what they were doing here.
I'm tired I think wine can do eish I won't drink it makes
me to votim so I'll try whiskey with ice.
We went to greet them luckily; they were eating
Mam'S is on leave I wanted to bond with Sma first then
to she can come back so I do the cleaning and all that
staff. I went to my bedroom with our shopping bags. I'll
arrange them later...
Samkelo: “I hope you had fun” When I turned it was
him?
Me: “Thanks I helped a lot”
Samkelo: “I'm glad to see you smiling”
He is trying to get close to me but I don't think I feel
like that. He sat down in the bed and took
one shopping bag he took out the black jacket then
boots...
Me: “Guess who chose it for him?”
Samkelo: “Juju?”
Me: “Nop Sma. He chose those clothes himself”
Samkelo: “Really” he was confused.
Me: “I'm serious you must take them to shopping in
boys out you'll see what I'm talking about”
540 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I don't believe he chose nice clothes
compared to Juju”
Juju once cried for a floral beach shirt I didn't believe
him we let him to take it when he wears it he looks like
she is going to the beach.
We ordered food for dinner I was so tired to cook we
ate then kids went to sleep first then I went to check
on them after that I headed to my bedroom I took a
bath then I wore my sleepwear then got in bed...
I was woken up by something which was moving in my
bed... I quickly took my gun under the pillow.
He giggled.
I put it down.
Me: “Nxaa! What to do you want?” I'm annoyed.
Samkelo: “I'm sleeping here remember?”
Me: “What?” I sat up.
Samkelo: “Yeah. Guests?”
Me: “I thought it was for yesterday only” I can't believe
this now.
Samkelo: “I'll go when they go too” he is tipsy so I
won't argue with him.
I went back to sleep my back on him. I felt his hand in
my thigh.
Me: “Hayi”
He took his hand off. After a minute his hand was in my
ass. I turned to give him a piece of my mind but he
wasn't sleeping his head was on his hand on a pillow.
Me: “Don't make me regret for letting you sleep here
541 | P a g e
so please don....” I snapped
He kissed me. I could smell whiskey in his breath.
When I tried to pull out but he pulls me close to
him and then kissed me so deeply...
I quickly got off his grip rushing to the bathroom to
vomit. When I was done I washed my mouth I found
him standing in bathroom door.
Samkelo: “Are you okay?”
Me: “Yeah I'm okay”
Samkelo: “Why are you vomiting then if you're fine?”
Me: “I'm fine!” I was little annoyed.
When I walk back to the bed he pulled me close again
and he kissed me I quickly pull out I fell nauseas.
Samkelo: “Are you sure you're fine?”
I ran to the bathroom again after I was done I rinsed
my mouth then I found him sitting on the edge if the
bed looking down at his feet.
Samkelo: “I can take you to hospital if you're not well”
Me: “No I'm fine I think it’s the smell of whiskey you
drank” I sat next to him.
He looked at me like I'm crazy.
Samkelo: “Let me kiss you to test if its whiskey or
what”
Me: “You're crazy I'm going back to sleep” I got in bed.
He went out of them room final I'm going to sleep in
peace! These days I'm sleeping a lot but what
I've been through I need to rest...
I slept after minutes. I was woken by a kiss. I opened
542 | P a g e
my eyes.
Me: “What are...”
Samkelo: “Shhhh. Just kiss me”
He kissed me so passionately and I didn't know I
missed his kiss. The kiss heated up he took my
pyjama top off....
Me: “Wait...” I said after I broke the kiss.
Samkelo: “Shhh”
He kissed me again I know I'm still angry at him but I
miss him so much.... I took off his vest he took
of my pyjama pant this day I don't like to wear panty
he helped me to unbutton his jean. He kissed me again
so I took off his boxer then we were both naked... He
started to kid me down my neck to my stomach down
to my velvet... He teased my clot with his lounge he
was so gently so I took off his boxer then we were both
naked... He started to kid me down my neck to my
stomach down to my velvet... He teased my clot with
his lounge he was so gently and I wanted him
inside me... In second he was inside me thrusting in
and out so gently he was on top when our moaning
louder and louder...... We came the same time...
He rolled over when we are catching breaths...
I tried to get up from bed to bathroom my legs were
feeling fun. He giggled.
Me: “Mxm!”
I went to bathroom to take a quick shower.... His hands
on my waist.
543 | P a g e
Me: “Hayi Samkelo”
Samkelo: “I missed you”
Me: “I'm trying to take a shower here”
Samkelo: “I'm not done with you”
Me: “Hayi ke after taking...”
He turned me to see him I was his erection. He can't be
serious...
He kissed me... I can't resist his kiss and his body and
his everything to be exact. He picked me up and we
had our second glory in the bathroom in the middle of
the night after that we took a shower together then
went to bed.
My phone rang...
Voice: “Please take care of him I give you a permission
to adopt him legal. Please tell him that I love him so
much”
I think it’s Smamukele's mother and she is crying.
Me: “O-kay....”I was so surprise or let me say I was
shocked.
I heard gun... I dropped the call and kept quiet.
Samkelo: “Who was calling my wife at 01:30 am?”
Jealous in high levels!
Me: “I think It was Happiness” I couldn't believe it.
Samkelo: “Oh what did she want?”
Me: “She gave me a permission to adopt him legal” I
wanted to do it in cases he starts funny business.
Samkelo: “Is that what you want babe?” he was
looking at me.
544 | P a g e
I took a deep breath.
Me: “I would love to do that if you're are okay with it”
Samkelo: “Babe I'm okay with it and I can see that you
love him so why not”
So now I can raise him like my own legally. He pulled
me to his chest and he cradle me till I fell asleep.
When I woke up he was looking at me while I was
asleep...
Samkelo: “Morning sweetheart” that deep sexy voice
of his…
Me: “Morning”
Samkelo: “I made you breakfast”
I ran to the bathroom to vomit. This thing of vomiting
is getting to my nerves now.
When I went back to bedroom he was on the phone.
He said he has emergency in the office so he took a
quick shower then got dressed then went off. I made a
bed took a shower too went to bath my boys and dress
them. My girls made breakfast for them and kids their
husbands we long gone when I came down.
I made fruit salad. The door opened...
Juju: “Yeeey! Lwandile!”
Lwandile: “Haaah Juju!”
It was the Big Four Rachel and Amahle I greeted them
Thabi made breakfast for them.
Me: “Still looking good ne?” They laughed.
Lwandile: “We are trying”
Zamo: “Are you okay?”
545 | P a g e
Me: “I'm okay” I know what he's talking about.
Lwandile: “Can I please see him?”
Me: “Yeah sure. Let me call him for you”
The kids were on the playroom.
Me: “Sma!”
Sma: “Coming!” he shouted. Juju taught him to shouts!
He came in running. Its Juju's doing!
When he came in their looked at him then he came
and sat next to me in the couch.
Lwandile: “Come here boy”
He got off from the couch and went to Lwandile but he
was going so slowly. Lwandile took him and sat him to
his lap.
Sphe: “This is his younger version”
Mbuso: “Exactly!”
He was looking at them and he was confused. They
introduced themselves to him and he wasn't paying
any attention to them after some time they let him go.
They're all over the place I don't understand why their
brothers don't force them to work but they have
money. Thabi led them to the dining room today their
breakfast.
Me: “Ladies I'm taking you out for lunch today and it’s
on me"
They laughed.
Me: “Don't make me to regret it though”
Nokwe laughed out loud! She's the one who can do
that!
546 | P a g e
Tomorrow its Saturday Ta Kat summoned all of us here
in Durban when I asked Samkelo what it about the ins
didn't knew either so I'll have a good time with my girls
today because tomorrow it'll be tense.
Before we went out with my ladies I took their jersey
and I told the Big Four to take kids jerseys with them in
case the weather changes. Thabi said we going to
Gateway so Gateway it is. We used two cars. Samkelo's
crew bus went for service today it will be back in the
afternoon.
We went to our favourite restaurant we picked then
we went to it.
Rachel: “I miss our conversations sipping our wine!”
She loves wine like I do.
Nokwe: “Mxm! Uyaphapha shame” We laughed at her
because Sakhi gave her an ultimatum!
Me: “I'm not drinking wine today too”
Zee: “It still makes you naeous us?”
Me: “Yeah so I'm drinking orange juice” The waiter
came and they ordered they wine and three orange
juice.
Nontu: “Second niece or nephew?”
Me: “Haah never!”
She called waiter and he took our orders after a while
he came back with our food; I was so hungry.
These days I'm always hungry Juju said I'm fat that kid
is rude.
Nokwe: “I'm quitting at work!”

Me: “Are you serious?” I was shocked.
Nokwe: “Yes I'm sure sweetheart. I'm carrying a special
cargo and I have money to waste so I can’t waste
money if I'm always at work”
Others laughed but I couldn't laugh I was looking at
her.
Nontu: “I think to do that too”
Nomxo: “I resigned before I came back here so I won't
work anymore” These bitches!
Me: “I need something to do to for my sanity because
having screaming kids is no child's play” They laughed.
I saw three ladies approaching our table. The one of
them came to stand near me. When I lifted my head up
I once saw her in a....
Her: “You stole my man”
Oh its Precious I haven't met her but I saw her on
pictures on Facebook.
Me: “Sorry?”
Girl2: “You're ugly pig”
Nontu: “Yeyii you bitch don't call my sister like that”
That pissed me but I need to keep my cool or else....
Me: “Do I know you?”
Precious: “Yeah I know you because you stole my man
you bitch!” She is angry.
Nokwe: “Listen here girl I'll wipe with you here right
now!”
Zee and Nontu got up from their chairs I knew things is
about to get messy!
548 | P a g e
Me: “Ladies please calm down. We have reputations
we have to think about so let us not waste our energy
on useless tramps because we'll be all over the
newspapers if we be at their ass right now”
They both sat down. I trying to calm myself and trust
me I was trying.
Me: “Listen to me carefully because I won't repeat this
I'm Nompendulo Khumalo Samkelo's wife so
I'm a lady and I respect myself I won't be fighting with
his ex and bitches so bitches please leave us alone with
peace”
Girl3: “Shut up your asshole” Zee tried to get up.
Me: “Zee I think you know better” I gave her a deadly
stare. She sat down.
Nomxo: “Leave bitches”
Girl3: “Shut up! Look how ugly you're”
Girl2: “Let's leave these assholes”
We were looking at them.
Precious: “I almost forgot something”
Something dripping down in my forehead that’s when I
realised she poured juice in my head.
Nontu and Nokwe got up trying to fight them.
Me: “Sit down”
Nontu: “I won't sit I want to kick them now” Precious
and her friends laughed and went off.
Me: “I said sit down! Now!” I screamed.
The man anger came towards us trying to apologise
about what happened.
549 | P a g e
She took my food and poured it on my head. My weave
was a messy and my cream chiffon shirt was dirty on
my shoulders and in my chest. I've never been so angry
in my life I'll deal with those bitches one by one!
Me: “Let's go” I said getting up took and I went off
everyone was looking at me when I went off.
When we got to the cars and I was quiet. I was with
Nontu and Nokwe in the car.
Nontu: “Why you didn't want us to kick them?” she is
angry.
Me: “To let you ruin your reputation?”
Nokwe: “Hayi Nompe don't tell us crap!”
Me: “Fighting in public is not for us so I won't let you
tarnish your names with those tramps”
Only Zee and Nomxo understood but Nontu Nokwe
and Rachel don't know anything that I must not try to
do something that will involve cops so I had to keep my
cool. Cops are after us so I won't be a dumb to cause a
scene that will put me in a spotlight.
I was so pissed.
When we got home I saw MaNdlovu in my kitchen I got
angry even more I greeted her and I went upstairs to
my bedroom when I took off my clothes he came in...
Samkelo: “What happened?”
Me: “I don't want to talk about it” I was so pissed.
Samkelo: “Nontu told me what happened in restaurant
I'll talk to her” He must not test me.
Me: “Leave her to me” my voice was deep. He looked
550 | P a g e
at me and he frowned.
Me: “Ngicela ungenzela amasi”
Samkelo: “What? We don't have amasi in this house”
He looked at me with a confused face.
Me: “Please go and buy it I want to eat amasi”
Samkelo: “Okay. Your parents are here”
Me: “What? I didn't know they were coming” I was
shocked.
Samkelo: “My mother called them” he rolled his eyes. I
wanted to laugh but I didn't.
Me: “Are the kids back yet?”
Samkelo: “No! Please change and come downstairs”
When he was about to close the door on his way out.
Samkelo: “Mntungwa is here too” he smirked.
I took of the Peruvian weave then put my Brazilian
weave on. I was wearing along pink dress and a black
doek on my head and scarf across my shoulders to
respect my father in-law. I went downstairs when I was
done.
Me: “Sanibonani” I greeted the elders when I sat on
the couch in the lounge.
Mom: “How are you my baby?”
Me: “I'm good mom and how are you?” I touched her
hand and my grandma's hand. I last saw them in
January.
I'm scared of Mntungwa and I respect him. That old
man makes you respect him without saying a word
I prefer him than his wife I hate her only because she
551 | P a g e
hates me.
Mntungwa: “Kids can you excuse us we need to talk to
Makoti and Samkelo” politely.
My angry friends and sister went out the room.
Mntungwa: “Thanks in-laws for coming here”
It was quiet.
Mntungwa: “We were supposed to get here when the
kid came in here but he asked us to give them time to
fix things. Samkelo what you did to your wife is beyond
bad and I don't know where you go that because I
don't have a child out of my marriage. You must speak
for yourself in front of our in�laws”
Samkelo cleared his throat.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry to be unfaithful to my wife and on
top of that the child came out of that. I'm so sorry my
love I can do anything to fix everything between us and
our family” he was sincere.
My Grandma was angry but I knew if she starts total
hawu jehova she won't finish. Mntungwa gave her time
to speak.
Grandma: “I was angry to hear what happened but it’s
her marriage so we'll support her as our child and we'll
also respect her decisions”
She was short today and thanks God!
Mntungwa: “Makoti how are you feeling about this
whole situation”
I bow my head as a sign of respect to my parents and
my parent’s in-law.
552 | P a g e
Me: “At first I was angry hurt and heartbroken and I
kicked him out of my house but I didn't chase
Smamukele out because I knew how to grow up
without a father so I couldn't denied him this
golden opportunity to grow up with his father in his
life. All of what happened reminded me of growing up
without my father all I wished is to spend my birthdays
and those special days with him but I couldn't because
he wasn't no more so how could I do that to Sma while
his father is alive”
MaNdlovu was looking at me.
Mntungwa: “Thanks Makoti for accepting my grandson
to live here with you. It means a lot to us”
Samkelo was looking down.
Mntungwa: “What is happening right now between
you two”
Samkelo: “We are trying to fix things between us and
Sma is adapting well to new environment”
MaNdlovu: “We happy to hear that and where are you
staying now?” She was little annoyed.
Samkelo: “I moved back here in last few days” The Big
four hasn't come back yet.
Mntungwa: “Okay I think everything is good now”
I got up and went to the kitchen ladies helped me to
prepare tea and scone and Thabi took over cooking
and I was happy about I'm lazy lately luckily I'm not
working. I went back to give them refreshments.
I sat next to Samkelo to drunk coffee and muffin. All I
553 | P a g e
can say is that I love my husband so much in despite of
heartbreak and all that but I still love him and last night
they gave me a good therapeutic sex...
His phone rang.
Samkelo: “What!... Where are you right now….. We are
coming right now!” his eyes were teary. His jaws
tightened
We were all looking at him.
Me: “What is going on?” He took a deep breath.
Samkelo: “Juju has been shot...” one tear came down.

Chapter 33

I felt like my world was crumbling down...

Me: “Nooooooo!” I wailed out loud.
He took me to his arms. I've never cried like that...
Samkelo: “He is in hospital we need to go there” I felt
his tears in my forehead.
He helped me to get up he took his car keys when we
got to the car AK took car keys from Samkelo
and he helped me to get in the car. I was crying all the
way to hospital thinking about my boy...
When we got there Lwandile was pacing up and down
he was waiting for us in the reception...
Lwandile: “I'm so sorry bra about what happened” he
554 | P a g e
was crying.
Samkelo: “Lwandile it was not your fault” He took us to
the waiting room.
Lwandile's white golf T-shirt was red I think it’s my
Juju's blood tears came uncontrollable. Kids were
in waiting room too looking in the space.
My parents his parents and the ladies came in.
Samkelo: “What happened Lwandile?”
Lwandile: “We were on parking lot to our car Juju was
walking in front as always jumping up and down
and we saw Juju down in front of us I saw him touching
his shoulder on the left and his hand came
back with blood” he was crying he told us what
happened.
I just wailed...
Samkelo: “Babe I need you to be strong for our boy” he
held me.
Mntungwa: “Where is he right now?”
My Mom Grandma MaNdlovu and the ladies were
crying.
Lwandile: “He is in theatre right now”
To hear that My Juju is in there and not knowing is
driving me crazy... I got up from the chair and I
was pacing up and down....
MaNdlovu: “Samkelo she is bleeding”
Samkelo: “Who is bleeding?”
MaNdlovu: "Makoti is bleeding"-she said and when I
checked myself I was really bleeding.
555 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Are you in periods?”
Me: “No I'm not”
MaNdlovu: "Samkelo go and call the doctor”
Samkelo: “For wha...”
MaNdlovu: “Now!”
MaNdlovu: “Come and sit. Do you have pains in your
abdomen?”
What is she on about now? My eyes were slowly
closing and everything was blur...
-------------
My Juju was laughing and shouting as always...
When I slowly opened my eyes this is hospital...
Samkelo: “Babe you're in hospital” his eyes were red.
He pressed the button on my bed.
My mom and grandma were on the side...
Me: “Where is my baby?” I quickly sat up.
Samkelo: “Babe please take it easy. Juju is in good
hands and Kat are with him”
The doctor came in they stood up.
Doc: “I have wonderful news for you”
Me: “My baby is awake?” The doctor was confused.
Samkelo: “Please continue doc”
Doc: “Mrs Khumalo congratulations you 8 weeks
pregnant”
Me: “What!” I shouted.
Samkelo: “Is the baby okay?”
Doc: “The baby is okay luckily she was here so we were
able to help her fast so the baby is fine. She's under a
556 | P a g e
lot of stress and that is not good for the baby”
Samkelo: “Thanks doctor”
The doctor went off. I couldn't believe I was pregnant.
Me? Pregnant? What the fuck!?
Mom & Grandma: “How are you feeling now?”
Me: “I'm fine but I need to see my baby”
Grandma: “Okay. Mkhwenyana will sort that so please
try to relax”
I can't believe they're telling mine to relax where my
baby is in hospital and now I'm pregnant I don't know
what to say.
Samkelo: “Can you please give us some space” The
parents got up I think they're going to the
waiting room.
Me: “I need to get out of here and find those dogs who
hurt my child” tears fell uncontrollable.
Samkelo: “Babe please calm down. Spikes in on it as we
speak so I need you to be strong for our boy and the
little one” he tightened my hand.
Kat walks in my ward.
Samkelo: “Grootman how is he?” He took a deep
breath.
Kat: “Doctors managed to remove the bullet on his
shoulder. He's in ICU” Tears came uncontrollable my
voice couldn't come out....
Me: “Samkelo I need you to go and find them I want to
kill them one by one” with trembling voice.
Kat: “Nompe can you please relax”
557 | P a g e
Me: “Don't tell me to relax my child is in ICU fighting
for his life and all you are telling me is calm down.
Calm down? Really?” with a scratchy voice.
Silence.
Me: “I need to go and see my child”
Kat went out of the room and he came back with
wheelchair. Samkelo wheeled me out of the ward to
ICU.
Nurse: “The doctor said he has to rest”
Me: “I don't care with that bull I'm going in to see my
child”
Nurse: “I'm following doctors’ orders...”
When I tried to take my gun on the back of my waist I
remembered that I'm in hospital wearing that silly
sheet...
I touched Samkelo's thigh and he bent over to me
Me: “Samkelo I need my gun right now” I whispered in
his ear.
Samkelo: “Hayi babe please not now”
Me: “Don't fuck with me that nurse don't want me to
enter through that door so I need my gun to red things
up”
His phone rang.
The ladies were not in the waiting room I think they
went home with kids they were so terrible when we
arrived here.
Doctor came and allowed me any him to enter for 5
minutes. My heart broke when I was my Juju
558 | P a g e
laying there helpless with many pipes in him. Tears
came uncontrollable again....
I took his little hand Samkelo put his hand to my
shoulder....
Me: “My Juju....I'm so sorry to I wasn't around to
protect you. Babe I need you to fight to fight
for mommy. I need you to wake up babe I miss your
noise shouting and demanding and love me when you
want something to me. I love you my babe” Samkelo
helped me to get up and I kissed his forehead.
He brushed Juju's head gently....
Samkelo: “Ntwana yami. I'm going to find them ntwana
even if it’s the last thing I do” tears fell but he quickly
wiped them. He stormed out!
Lwandile came in and wheeled me out. He took me
back to the to my ward then he came in...
Samkelo: “You won't believe who did this”
Kat and Spikes came in. They both sat down next to my
bed.
Samkelo: “Nyathikazi himself”
Me: “What? Why?” I sat up quickly.
Spikes: “Samkelo killed Zig-Mazaka so that's why”
Me: “You're not making sense here"
Kat: “Zig-Mazaka and Nyathikazi belongs to THE
DISTROYERS”
Me: “Nyathikazi has assigned his death warrant”
Kat: “You can't...”
Spikes: “Everything is in order now but we are waiting
559 | P a g e
for you to be discharged here”
Me: “Sure”
Nontu came in with Sma on her shoulder. He cried
when he saw me.
Sma: “Mommy” his voice was trembling he was about
to cry.
Me: “My boy how are you?” I took him from Nontu.
Nontu: “He was crying so I thought being here he'll
come down”
Sma: “I want Juju...” he cried.
I tried to calm him down but he cried harder I was
crying too...
Me: “We'll go and see Juju okay?” I wiped tears in his
cheeks.
I think he miss his partner in shouting and play games
and all those things. He looked in my eyes and then
rest his head on my shoulder. Samkelo was awful quiet
I don't like his calmness because he's so dangerous if
he is quiet. I'm sure he is chopping Nyathikazi in pieces
in his mind.
At visiting hours Samkelo Sma and I went to see Juju as
we went through...
Sma: “Juju!” he shouted.
Juju wasn't awake and I'm stress the doctors said he'll
wake but but it’s the second day but still.
Me: “Don't shout Sma” I whispered in his ear.
Seeing him like that broke my heart and it was filled
with anger and bitterness. I was walking on my own so
560 | P a g e
I sat down with Sma on my lap and Samkelo was next
to me.
Sma: “Juju wake up”
Wish I could explain the situation here but at his age he
doesn’t understand.
Sma: “Juju wake up!” He said again and his voice was
trembling...
My eyes were filled with tears and I couldn't hold them
back.
Sma: “Wake up Juju Juju!” he cried when he saw Juju
didn't wake up.
Samkelo got up kissed Juju on his forehead and his
tears landed on Juju's forehead. He took Sma on my
lap then he went out with him. My heart was so
broken when my boy is fighting for his life and
the other one on my womb don't need stress.
The last three weeks were hard on us but I'm glad Juju
is awake and today doctors discharged him. I was
discharged after 3 days when I passed out...
Doc: “He must come here 3 days a week of his
wounds”
Me: “Thanks for everything you've done for us Doc"
After taking his medication we went home. I'm scared
because all the kids are there so I hope he won't hurt
himself. We left Sma home. Sma's arrival broke my
heart Juju's being shot I was broken but the little one
inside me gives me hope that everything will be in my
house.
561 | P a g e
When we got home kids were happy to see him and
everyone was happy that he is fine now....
Sma: “Juju!!” he shouted. He came running to Juju and
tried to hug him but Juju blocked him.
Juju: “You'll hurt me Sma”
He was shot on his shoulder fortunately the bullet
didn't touch the heart veins and spinal cord but he has
bandage in the wound.
We agreed on waiting for Juju to wake up and get
better that we can kill Nyathikazi I want him to suffer
like my child when he was in pains after being shot just
to think he was shot my body sweats all those hidden
places!....
Sma was happy to see him back home. Mntungwa
summoned all of us for Sma welcoming ceremony and
being introduced to his ancestors my family will be
there and my friends too.
I went to upstairs to okay down a bit I need to rest the
last few weeks were tiring emotional and physical so I
need to rest I got in bed....
I felt his hand on my ass.
Samkelo: “Are you okay?” he whispered on my ear.
Me: “Yeah babe I'm fine but I'm hungry” I wasn’t
looking at him.
Samkelo: “What would you like to eat?”
Me: “Amasi”
Samkelo: “Haaa amasi? Hayi Hayi” he was
complaining.
562 | P a g e
Me: “I'm pregnant because of you so I would like to eat
amasi” I pouted my mouth.
Samkelo: “Haaa this is torture”
He kissed my cheek get off from the bed and went off. I
doze off after that.
When I woke up it was 15:20 pm I got up went to the
bathroom to wash my face and went to the kitchen
when I wanted to check if he is in the lounge or not.
When I was about to enter...
Nokwe: “Who would want to hurt a child?”
I stood I needed to hear what they were talking about.
Lwandile: “I don't know but the way it happened it
looks like they wanted him only because he was the
only one who was hurt”
I wonder what they're talking about.
Sphe: “Cops hasn't said anything about Juju's case?”
Nontu: “This thing of not involving cops in situation like
this don't sit well on me”
Thabi: “Remember when Nompe was kidnapped he
cops weren't involved. I wonder why”
Nokwe: “The day Juju was Shot Sakhi wasn't at hospital
either at work”
Mbuso "Something doesn't add up here"
They can't be analysing us.
Mbuso: “The was once this time I was in Cape Town in
Andile's house I overheard him talking to the other guy
I don't know about shipment but I didn't understand
what they were talking about”
563 | P a g e
What!
Thabi: “I agree that he is dodge. Sometimes he comes
home so tired or comes in the middle of the night I
asked him about it and he said it's work”
Nontu: “And all this bodyguards?”
Zamo: “Something is fishy here”
Nontu: “Thokozani does that too and I stopped whining
about it long time ago”
Nokwe: “Private Investigator can find answers for us.
We can't be in the dark we need to...” she
was interrupted by the laughing voices coming in the
house.
I ran back to upstairs to my bedroom I couldn't believe
it but eventually they'll find out about us so things will
be tense. When I went back and he said it's work”
Nontu: “And all this bodyguards?”
Zamo: “Something is fishy here”
Nontu: “Thokozani does that too and I stopped whining
about it long time ago”
Nokwe: “Private Investigator can find answers for us.
We can't be in the dark we need to...” she
was interrupted by the laughing voices coming in the
house.
I ran back to upstairs to my bedroom I couldn't believe
it but eventually they'll find out about us so things will
be tense. When I went back I found my mother and
Zee they went to do groceries and
Samkelo wasn't there....
564 | P a g e
Ladies went to help mom to pack the grocery.
Grandma found a friend in Mam’S so she was with
her and kids were so I took my car keys created a story
then I went out. I tried to call him but it went straight
to voicemail.
When I got to my car my phone beeped...
It was notification from our joint account saying
R25000 was withdrawn....
This better be a good reason for him withdrawal of at
his big amount the way I was furious I went to the
restaurant to eat something just to cool off because he
I can see him in this state it won't end well.
I got to my favourite restaurant then I ordered a burger
with fried chips and orange juice. I tried to call him
while I was waiting for my meal.
A tall man sat on the chair in the table I was sitting at.
Him: “How such a beautiful lady stays alone?”
I kept quiet.
My meal came.
Him: “I hope you don't mind me sitting with you”
He was surprised by my big junk meal.
Me: “Yeah but don't make me to regret it”
Him: “Promise I won't”
He's good looking but he is nothing to my man! Damn
that man is hot and gifted down there and sex!
Yho!
He calls a waiter and ordered
Him: “I'm Mark Bhuyeni and you are?” he said
565 | P a g e
stretching his hand for handshake.
He's has a great accent.

Me: “Nompendulo Khumalo”

I faked a smile.
I started to eat because I was hungry. I wonder why
he's sitting with me because I don't know him but I'll
let him to have his me alright here. His meal came and
he ate right away. After eating he ordered a
champagne...
He poured me a glass.
Me: “Thanks but I don't touch alcohol” This is weird.
Him: “But you seem like you drink to me” he laughed.
Me: “I really don't” I sat back on my chair.
He drank his champagne.
Me: “It was nice to meet you but I need to get going
now” I got up from the chair.
Him: “It's still early”
Me: “Yeah I have a lot to do so I need to get going” I
was standing.
He got up to and asked for a hug and I gave him hug
then he took me out. I went to my car. When I got to
my car I started the car then went to Umhlanga to
Zee's house luckily I found her home.
Zee: “Mzala” she opened the door for me.
Me: “How are you?”
Zee: “I'm good cuz”
I went to the lounge and she went to the kitchen. I
566 | P a g e
took off the sweater I was wearing when and I put it on
my lap. I was playing with my hand with pink nails and
it got stucked in my sweater....
Fuck!
That bastard was being nice but he was trying to screw
me.
Zee came to the lounge and I went to the kitchen to
take a notepad and pen. I can't risk talking
now because they're trying to be smart with me. I went
back to the lounge and I wrote everything and she read
and went upstairs to make a call to the guys to get
here as soon as possible.
When she came back with a device that detects the
listening devices and it was on my sweater and on my
weave I went to take a shower then she gave me her
shirt and sleepers. None of her clothes can fit me she is
big-bone girl so her shirt made a trick.
She took my clothes I don't know where but I don't
care about them. She cleaned my weave. When I came
back to the lounge I found the guys in the lounge but
he wasn't there.
Spikes: “Zee told us about what happened”
Me: “Yeah I met him in the restaurant then he was
friendly but it was suspicious but I didn't mind”
AK: “So many problems”
Spikes: “His name?”
Me: “Mark Bhuyeni”
Spikes: “I'll check and get back to you”
567 | P a g e
Me: “Tomorrow night I need to put Nyathikazi in his
place for once and for all I'm tired of his nonsense”
Kat: “Okay tomorrow it is. Where is Axe?”
Me: “I don't know where he is but wherever he is
creating mess”
Andile: “Say it again”
Me: “Someone out there want to destroy my marriage
I can feel it and Samkelo withdrew R25k in
the afternoon but when I called him it went straight to
voicemail” I played with my feet.
Zee: “This is bad but Nyathikazi must be eliminated
tomorrow”
Me: “AK I need Flamethrower to be ready for
tomorrow” He nodded.
Me: “What I need to do is to freeze our joint account
and his accounts so that he won't spend our money
with floozies so please corporate with me here”
My phone beeped.
The bank notification again. He swiped R20 000 at
Zara.
Me: “He spent R45k today” I gave Ta Kat my phone to
see this message for himself.
Kat: “Do what you have to do Nompe” I nodded.
The last thing I need is stress so I must make sure I'm
calmed AF when I'm dealing with this. We planned our
mission for tomorrow and he's here tomorrow night
they'll be in the warehouse but I need something that
will make him suffer.
568 | P a g e
Me: “Ta Kat I need Strychnine for Nyathikazi” with a
frowny face.
They all laughed out.
Kat: “Okay”
Me: “I almost forgot Big Four and ladies are starting to
suspect. Nokwe suggested the Private
Investigator to follow you around”
Andile: “Eish this can't be happening now”
Me: “I have a lot to deal within a moment so they can't
find out now”
Spikes: “I'll get boys to follow them around without
them noticing”
Me: “Okay I'll hack their cell phone call messages and
emails if they find the best PI it will be over for us”
Kat: “Good we have to do what we have to. I'll keep
you updated Nompe about Nyathikazi's whereabouts
tomorrow”
Rachel is here so I must jam the network around his
father's house and we must keep her away from his
father's house.
At 23:00 I drove back to my house I found everyone
sleeping so I went to my bedroom and he wasn't there.
Maybe he's in his apartment in town and I won't do
anything stupid. I went to take a shower then went to
bed and I slept late because I was turning and tossing.
When I woke up my face was little bit swollen I went to
take a shower and I made my bed after that when I
was about to step out he came in.
569 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Morning babe”
Me: “Morning”
He sat on the bed.
Me: “We need to talk”
Samkelo: “Babe please not now” he laid and spread his
arms in the bed.
Me: “I want to talk about our kid's future”
He sat up and looked at me.
Me: “I asked you nicely to put Sma in trust fund but
you didn't and about me adoption Sma but you didn't
do it”
I'm angry but I won't say anything about it so I need to
say something positive.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry so about that but please come to
my office around lunch”
Me: “Okay” I walked out if the room.
I went to the kitchen I found ladies with their bags.
Me: “And then?” I asked when I saw the bags.
Nontu: “After the breakfast we going to our houses”
Me: “Okay”
Mom: “We're going too” she came down the stairs
with bags.
Me: “Okay....”
Mom: “I miss my house now and everything is fine
now”
We ate breakfast and Samkelo came down wearing a
maroon suit with white polo shirt with brown shoes.
He came and sat down. A bell rang and he went to
570 | P a g e
open and he went back to eat maybe he is expecting
someone.
“Morning peeps!”
Nxaa!
Me: “And then?” I asked when I saw Precious walking
behind Thando.
Thando: “She's my friend”
The room went quiet.
Me: “Get her out of my house”
Thando: “Drama!” she clapped once.
She and Precious went to the kitchen...
Me: “Thando don't test me I said get her out of here”
my voice was firm now.
Precious: “This is Samkelo's house so I'll get out when
he says so chill a girl” with attitude.

Chapter 34

The level of anger raised up and I went to her in no

minute I was punching her like there's no tomorrow.
Samkelo pulled me from her. She gathered strength to
get up when I was speaking to
Samkelo she hit me and I fell on Samkelo luckily he
caught me quickly. When I got up I took few steps and I
got to her I threw two punches in her face and she was
bleeding I dragged her out of My house with her
braids...
571 | P a g e
Thando: “There was no need for that....” she didn't
finish her sentence.
I slapped her so hard.
Me: “Take that thing to your friend and get out of my
house!” I shouted. She took her and her friend's
bag furiously and I heard her car driving out.
Mom: “Yho!” and clapped her both hands.
Grandma: “Nompe what happened here?”
Eish!
Me: “Gogo she's the one who started so I beat her up”
I was so angry my lips were trembling...
Grandma: “Okay you need to calm down my child”
Thabi: “Hayi!”
I went to my room...
Samkelo: “Do I need to remind you that you're
pregnant?”
Me: “Samkelo not now” my hand was up to stop him
from talking.
Samkelo: “What if you got hurt”
Me: “Hayi Samkelo shut the hell up!” I shouted.
He took few steps towards me.
Samkelo: “Not matter how angry you are don't speak
to me like that”
Me: “Nxaa voetsek!” He grabbed with my upper arm
and pulled me close to him.
Samkelo: “I'll fuck you up” his voice was scratchy.
Me: “She's nice hey” I looked in Hus eyes.
He let go of my arm.
572 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I need to get going”
Me: “If I find her kodansa amapopayi” he pulled the
door handle. He exited the room.
I went to freshen up after that I went to the lounge I
spent time with them then at 11:30 am they all left and
I was bored after that but next week Friday I'll see
them in Wineen. My boys were bored when the left so
I made something for them to eat.
Juju: “I don't want to eat that” hedon't want me today
while Sma is fond of me.
Sma: “Eat Juju"
They ate I cleaned up after they were done after that I
went to prepare myself to go to Samkelo's office then I
wore a cream tight dress with blue heels and I curled
my weave so I was looking good...
Sma: “Butiful” he said when he came to my bedroom.
Me: “Thanks my baby” I cupped his cheeks.
Juju: “Not butiful wena Sma its beautiful”
"Hayi Juju"-Sma said.
Juju laughed.
Me: “Stop being mean Juju” He smiled.
Me: “Okay kids go to Mam'S mom is going now” I
pushed them out.
I took my Burberry black bag then went to my car and I
drove to his office.
Me: “Hey Claudia” I greeted receptionist.
Claudia: “Hey Mrs Khumalo” with smile.
Me: “Is he in?”
573 | P a g e
Claudia: “Yes Ma'am you can go through”
I smiled then I went to his office when I was about to
enter....
Voice: “That bitch beaten me up”
Samkelo: “Don't call my wife names wena”
I got in....
Me: “You're here now?”
This Precious girl is testing my patience.
Samkelo: “Babe I can explain” he got up quickly.
Me: “Leave now or I'll drag you with those rags out of
this building”
She took her bag and left.
Samkelo: “Babe I didn't call her here she came herself”
he closed the door.
Me: “I'm not here for that. I need those papers”
Samkelo: “Please seat down” he sat down.
Me: “I don't want to sit I need those papers so I can
leave you with peace”
He sighed.
Samkelo: “Let's go and grab lunch”
Me: “I'm hungry vele”
He gave me a look and he took his cars keys and wallet
a then we went to the restaurant. The waiter came and
took our orders.
Samkelo: “Mam'Khumalo you need to slow down on
burgers and fried chips"
Me: “You'll start to use condoms first then I can stop to
eat to junk food”
574 | P a g e
He giggled.
Our meal came then we ate....
“Nompendulo”
When I lifted my head it was Mark Bhuyeni.
Samkelo's face....
Me: “Hey” I faked a smile.
He stretched his hand to....
Samkelo: “Manje?”
Mark: “Sorry mjita I'm talking to her not to you...”
Oh God he mustn't try that shit....
Samkelo: “Listen here you fool....” he is standing now.
I quickly got up.
Me: “Babe please calm down. And you Mark please go”
Me: “Go!” I told Mark.
He walked away. We sat down.
Samkelo: “Who is he?”
Me: “If you were there yesterday you would've known”
Samkelo: “Nompendulo don't fuck...” jealous….
I took my phone and dialled.
Me: “He is following me”
Spikes: “How?”
Me: “I'm in a restaurant and he came in its not just a
coincidence”
Spikes: “Okay I'll call you now” he hung up.
We'll get to the bottom of this.
Samkelo: “What is going on?”
Me: “Let’s go” I got up and we left the restaurant.
When we went towards his car my phone rang...
575 | P a g e
AK: “Heita”
Me: “Heita. Zithini?”
AK: “Don't use his car. I'll be there now!” I ended the
call.
Me: “We won't use your car”
Samkelo: “Hahaha you're funny”
I took his car keys.
Samkelo: “Nompe...”
After few minutes AK came with a car I gave Spiro the
car keys. He went to it open in the boot and took a
something that was covered brown tape...
AK: “Let's go”
We got in his and Spiro was driving Samkelo's car.
Samkelo: “What the hell is going on?”
Spikes: “I've just received the call that says the police
were tipped that your car has drugs”
Me: “This is getting more interesting”
Spikes: “Mark Bhuyeni is not his name his name is
Bukhosi Sambo his brother lost the case so now
he thinks that Samkelo is responsible for it now he
wants to get to him with you”
I laughed.
Me: “No wonder he came to my table yesterday but I
suspect edit but listening devices confirmed that he's
after me or us”
Samkelo: “Is someone going to tell me here or not”
Me: “Yesterday I went to the restaurant and that guy
came to my table and ate his meal on my table.
576 | P a g e
When I was leaving he got up and gave me hug. He put
listening devices yo my weave and sweater”
Spikes: “Did you have a client before with a name
Zipha the Sambo?”
Samkelo: “Yeah that was the third case I lost in my
career” he smiled.
AK: “His brother told him that you're responsible for it”
When we got to my house the police came after few
minutes...
Police Officer: “Mr Khumalo I need to search your car
now!”
The police officer handed a search warrant to him.
They went to his car to search and they didn't
find anything on it.
Police Officer: “Mr Khumalo we...”
Samkelo: “Save it!” he went inside the house.
The police vans drove off.
Me: “That was....I don't know” my hands were up.
Samkelo: “I owe you guys”
Spiro: “Hayi Ta Axe we were doing our jobs”
Me: “Dankie gents”
Kat came in I think Mam'S opened for him or
something....
Kat: “I heard what happened"
Samkelo: “Eish Grootman ngibhayizile big time”
Kat: “You're pussy”
The room went quiet. Someone needs to break the
silence...
577 | P a g e
Me: “Can I give you something to drink Ta Kat?”
Kat: “Yes please before I beat him up”
I feel like there's more than I know. They went to the
lounge. I went to take a bottle of whiskey and one
glass. I put the tray in the coffee table.
Samkelo: “And then?” They looked at each other.
Spikes: “Our glasses?”
Me: “You know where the kitchen is right?”
He laughed. Spiro went to take their glasses.
Kat: “Mntungwa is on his way here to take kids with
him to Weenen”
What?
Samkelo: “Umh grootman I thought...” he stopped
when his brother gave him a deadly stare.
Kat: “Nompe are you okay with it?”
Me: “As long as they're safe”
Kat: “Good. They bags are packed so you can go and
say goodbye to them”
I got up and Samkelo followed me.
Juju: “Mkhulu is taking us with him to his house” he
was so thrilled about it.
Sma: “I don't want to go” he was sad. I picked him up.
Me: “I'll come my boy to see to and bring you all the
goodies okay?” I said and kissed his cheek.
I love him.
Sma: “White eye cleam (Vanilla ice cream)?”
Me: “Yes my boy” He smiled. He loves vanilla ice cream
while Juju hates it.
578 | P a g e
Sma: “Pisa (Pizza)?”
Me: “All the goodies my boy”
His father took him. I picked Juju up.
Juju: “Is that talking Granny there?” He is talking about
MaKhumalo.
Me: “I don't know maybes he'll be there”
Juju: “Okay put me down now”
Me: “Why?”
Juju: “Because I want to”
He hates me lately I think it’s because of pregnancy or
what I don't know.
I kissed him and put him down a she said and Sma
came to me and I kissed his cheeks. Samkelo picked
Juju we went to the lounge and Mntungwa was there
before he saw me I ran to my bedroom to put
something on my head and cover my shoulders.
When I came back....
Juju: “Why do you cover your shoulders when Mkhulu
is here?”
They all laughed at what Juju just asked. I went to the
kitchen to make something for my father in-law
Mam'S came in looking good. I served them after they
ate Mntungwa I ran to my bedroom to put something
on my head and cover my shoulders.
When I came back....
Juju: “Why do you cover your shoulders when Mkhulu
is here?”
They all laughed at what Juju just asked. I went to the
579 | P a g e
kitchen to make something for my father in-law
Mam'S came in looking good. I served them after they
ate Mntungwa Mam'S and boys left. The house was
quiet after that.
I was tired to cook so I ordered pizza the gents went to
the playroom to play PlayStation. Samkelo has
PlayStation and it annoys me sometimes but it helps
him to relax.
Samkelo: “Are you okay?”
Me: “I'm okay but I need to rest” I said and turned to
look on the wall in our bedroom.
He turned me to face him.
Samkelo: “Are you angry at me?”
Me: “No I'm not”
Sameklo: “Babe can we please talk about things that
makes you angry?” He's so charming but it won't work
now.
Me: “I don't want to talk I want to sleep”
Samkelo: “Okay sleep then”
I closed my eyes and I fall asleep at 16:30pm I woke up
then I went to the bathroom. I wanted hot water my
body is covered with a foam....
He came in....
Samkelo: “Do you need massage after shower?” his
hands were on my waist.
Me: “No I need to take a shower in peace” I opened
the hot water.
He turned me to be the foam in my back.
580 | P a g e
Samekelo: “I know that you're angry at me because of
that money I withdrawn” we were looking at each
other.
Samkelo: “Babe I can explain”
Me: “You want to explain that you took our money and
spent it with some bitch!?”I snapped.
He smiled. I felt like I could take my hairs out one by
one!
Samkelo: “Babe it's not what you think”
Me: “You withdraw R45k a day? You've never done
that and worse you didn't sleep here in your bed”
My eyes were filled with tears.
Samkelo: “Babe please let me explain”
Me: “To speak more lies?”
Samkelo: “No babe I'm not lying”
Tears came gushing out.
He pulled me to his chest.
Samkelo: “That money I withdrew it was a deposit for a
place that was unused in town”
I pulled off and I looked at him.
Samkelo: “I know you don't trust me on what I'm
saying but I bought it for you because I overheard you
when you were talking to your sister talking about you
owning a Pub or boutique so I wanted to buy it for you
but when I saw it that card was the only card in my
wallet so that how I used that money
I wasn't wasting it”
I hit him playful in his chest.
581 | P a g e
Me: “Thanks babe”
Samkelo: “Don't now I need to pay for it on Thursday”
Me: “I'm sorry to accuse you of something you didn't
do” I felt so stupid.
He chuckled.
Samkelo: “I don't blame you babe and the little one
here is making it X5 ” he touched my tummy.
Me: “I'm hungry”
Samkelo: “Oh Lord!”
I giggled.
Me: “Blame you soldiers for being forward”
He laughed. We took a shower together and went back
to our room.
A knock...
“Hayi maarn Samkelo!”
He laughed and went to the door.
Spider: “Uyaluthandi ucansi maarn”
Samkelo: “Ai voetsek wena” he stepped out of the
room.
I put my robe on.
At 20:00pm I went downstairs to get something to eat.
I made sandwiches and they came down to the
kitchen.
Me: “Can I get you sandwiches?”
Kat: “Yes please”
I took the plate and gave it to him.
Samkelo: “Me?”
Me: “You?”
582 | P a g e
Samkelo: “My sandwiches?”
Me: “Come and take them”
They looked at each other. Spikes and Spiro laughed.
Kat's phone rang...
He disappeared in the house to take his call.
After a while...
Kat: “He ingested Strychnine so we need to get
moving” he came back to the kitchen.
We ate then get dressed and we went off. Spiro drove
to their warehouse. Our other members followed us so
their warehouse was surrounded by THE EAGLES...
We got in and they were discussing a robbery silly
amateur!
Guy1: “Boss are you okay?”
The other one asked. The Flamethrower was on my
back and the others have them too.
Nyathikazi: “I'm okay” he was sweating.
We were on top so Samkelo took off his mustard scarf
and threw it inside where they were.
Nyathikazi: “What the fuck?” they took out their guns.
We jumped off and we got in the ground at the same
time. Grand entrance! Mhm so sexy!
Samkelo: “Put those guns down!”
Nyathikazi laughed.
They corked they gun but they were empty!
Kat: “You see Us EAGLES we make things happen”
They turned to look at his direction. He came towards
them they started to move and fear was written in
583 | P a g e
their eyes.
Me: “Nyathikazi how are you feeling?” sarcastically.
Nyathikazi: “I'm fine” he frowned.
Me: “I'm sad to hear that you're okay”
He frowned.
Me: “Mhm the juice that you drank an hour ago was
good or bad?”
Nyathikazi: “Nxaa stop asking me silly questions you
bitch”
Me: “The juice that you drank an hour ago had
Strychnine” I was calmly.
Nyathikazi: “You're lying!”
Me: “Strychnine works by attacking the central nervous
system causing all the muscles in the body to violently
contract at the same time. Death occurs within 2 to 3
hours of ingestion and whilst usually the result of
asphyxiation due to paralysis of the respiratory
pathways. Right Phindi?”
Phindi: “Correct!”
Nyathikazi: “Your son of a bitch”
Me: “I almost lost my son because of you so your
family will lose you forever”
This will heal me!
“Babe!”
Silence!!
When we all turned to the direction where the voice
came....
Nomxo: “Babe be romantic please come here to get
584 | P a g e
me” I was crazy when I was pregnant with Juju but not
like this!
Kat: “Nomxolisi what the fuck are you doing here?”
Nomxo: “Get me hawu!”
We all cracked out laughing and Ta Kat was furious. He
went to get her.
Me: “Hang in there few minutes you're about to die”
He started to breath so heavily.
My Flamethrower was ready his clothes took the
flames and he was crying because of fire and pains.
That moment made my heart to dance in joy. If you're
hurt my family you'll pay with your life.
Samkelo did that to Nyathikazi's guys. I didn't send a
bodybag and wrath because of Rachel and
Amahle I love them to bits but her father wronged me
to shoot my child so he had to die.
After the flames came down we left and the gents set
their warehouse on fire. I'm done with
Nyathikazi so I need to relax a little bit then deal with
new enemy!
After 2 days we heard “sad” news from Rachel that her
father is no more.... Poor soul.
It was all over the news that he's no more.
The funeral will be held in Durban after the ceremony
for introducing Smamukele to his ancestors.
----------------
MaNdlovu: “Makoti these kids will drive me crazy”
Me: “What they have done?” with a smile.
585 | P a g e
MaNdlovu: “If they aren't stealing my phone to play
games they're fighting for tv remote controller”
Its Friday today and tomorrow is the ceremony day. I'm
happy because Juju's wound is healing so he'll
go back to crèche then he is fine.
Lwandile: “Mom where is my PlayStation?” What's
with them and PlayStation?
MaNdlovu: “I'm sorry my boy Juju and Sma are playing
with it”
Lwandile: “You have to buy it for them”
MaNdlovu: “You have to buy my lipsticks because
Amahle drew my wall with it”
He laughed and he went to the boys.
My grandma and MaNdlovu get along but my mother
don't like MaNdlovu but I understand that she
always wants to make my life a living hell.
Thando: “Hey peeps!” she came in the kitchen.
Her mother hugged her. When I turned to look at
her...
Me: “What is she doing here?”
Thando: “She came here as my friend”
Me: “Thando you live to test my patience neh?”
Precious: “Oh please!”
The other woman who isin age of MaNdlovu came in
laughing followed by MaNgema Andile's mother.
She greeted and I went to hug her I only wish she was
my mother in-law. Nontu and Thabi are in stokvel
because of her she loves them like her own daughters.
586 | P a g e
Her: “Are you Samkelo's wife?” the old asked with a
frown on her face.
Me: “Yes I am” I said on a lower voice.
Her: “You're not his type. MaNdlovu my friend long
time hey”
I sighed.
She took MaNdlovu and led her to outside. Thando and
Precious followed them. MaNgema brushed my
shoulder and I calm down.
MaNgema: “She is bitter because her daughter lost
don't worry about her”
Mbuso came in to take his mother because his father
wanted to talk to her.
His hand was on my tummy.
Samkelo: “I know you hate it babe but I'll talk to
Mntungwa that Precious and her mother has to go
they're not welcomed here” he brushed my tummy.
Me: “Okay”
Samkelo: “Please don't slave yourself in the kitchen I
want to us to do something nice tonight”
he whispered.
Me: “Hayi Mbulazi” I laughed.
Samkelo: “That turns me on...” he said kissing my
neck.
Kat: “Get a room”
He laughed and got off me.
Samkelo: “Is she giving you a hard time?”
He looked so pissed.
587 | P a g e
Kat: “She must give birth already! She woke me up to
come and get a mayonnaise tomatoes and aromat for
her. Yho!” he opened a fridge.
Samkelo: “At least it almost over for you 2 months to
go what about me still have 6 months to go”
Me: “Sorry I'm still here” I waved my hand.
They wanted to laughed Kat went out with what he
came for. Spikes and Zee came in arguing they kept
quiet when they saw us in the kitchen.

Chapter 35

Milisuthando cried in the passage and Zee went to

attend her.
Spikes: “Maybe she is pregnant”
Samkelo: “What happened?”
Spikes: “She's being stubborn nje” he was so pissed.
Samkelo: “Ei mjita jive yodwa ke Le”
I left the kitchen. I wanted to see my boys. The room
down in the passage was slightly opened and
they were people there...
Voice: “She'll kill me if I don't leave so I'm taking my
child with me”
Who is talking inside here?
Voice: “She is a Sca....”
Milisuthando and Sma came towards me so I went to
them...
Sma: “I'm hungry mommy”
588 | P a g e
Mili added to.
Mili: “Can we please have burger and chips?”
They got along but they are completely different but
Mili likes to hold his hand. I wonder where Juju
is and what he is breaking with his partner in crime
Gwajo.
I went to the kitchen found my girls in the kitchen
making sandwiches in the kitchen. I haven't seen
Nomxo and she's lazy.
Me: “We need to plan Nomxo's baby shower”
Nokwe: “I'm on it”
Nontu: “Who is planning yours?”
Nokwe: “Mxm!”
We laughed.
MaNdlovu came in.
MaNdlovu: “Please help me we need to serve the lunch
now”
We all helped her and the elders went to the dining
room to eat.
This house is gigantic and beautiful Mntungwa's
expensive taste past it to his children I can see that.
This house furniture is in Italian style and it’s so
exquisite.
Everything went well on Sunday and Smamukele has
Isphandla (Zulu bracelet) on his wrist. The others
were asking questions about it.
At Sunday night I couldn’t sleep and Samkelo was
drunk so I went outside to get some fresh air and
589 | P a g e
he is snoring. I found Spiro outside smoking....
Me: “Skyf”
Spiro: “Nxaa hayi wena maarn you not allowed to
smoke”
Me: “Nxaa” I clicked my lounge and took it on his
hand.
I took three pufs and it felt good. I do smoke only if I'm
too stressed or drunk and Samkelo too but he
doesn’t want me to because I'm pregnant!! After that
Spiro went inside his room then I went behind
to our room....
Voice1: “Why he is attracted to his kids?”
Voicw2: “Eish inkinga yodwa Lena”
Voice1: “We need to hide this because if she founds
out konuka amasimba”
I got closer it was Mntungwa and Dlamini (Andile's
father) why are they whispering at 01:30 am? In
the yard?
Mntungwa: “You saw Patronella on that tight dress?”
Who is Patronella?
Dlamini: “That bitch is still hot”
These old men!
Dlamini: “When did you last fucked her?”
Mntungwa: “About two weeks” No wonder their sons
are cheating they got it from their fathers!
Dlamini: “Lucia will shoot you if she finds out that you
are fucking her friend”
Mntungwa: “Eish don't remind me”
590 | P a g e
They laughed.
I must stop sneaking around I'll hear the shock of my
life.
There's something worrying me Precious's mom left on
Saturday with Precious because she feared
“her” I wonder who is that mxm I had to go back.
When I entered the room he was still sleeping
spreading his legs on the bed as if he is waiting
for someone to slaughter him. He's so annoying this
day and over caring. We always argue about something
especially because I'm pregnant. I pinched him but he
didn't move I was so furious I went
to sleep on the couch.
I don't know when I passed out but I was woken by him
and my neck was stiff.
Samkelo: “Morning babe”
Me: “I'm hungry” I yawned and I got up from the
couch.
Samkelo: “At 06:30 am?”
I gave him a dead stare. He towards me to kiss me....
Samkelo: “Did you smoke?”
Oh lord!
Me: “No” I went to the bathroom.
Samkelo: “I'm talking to you” he is angry.
I took a quick shower and he kept quiet. When I came
out naked he was sitting on the edge of the bed...
Samkelo: “Do I have to remind you that you're
pregnant?”
591 | P a g e
Me: “I'm sorry babe” I went towards him.
"Don't start with that sorry of yours"-he got up and he
roughly pulled me close to him.
He kissed me roughly...
Samkelo: “Why don't you listen to me?”
He smells fresh I knew he took a shower before me.
He gently pushed me to lay on the back with my back.
He took a while and he crawled on top of he and he
was naked now.... He widens my legs and I felt his
finger on my pussy... Fuck I'm wet!
When he entered he pumped little hard...? My right leg
was up and I was holding with his arm...
Me: “Ahhh” He was looking at me with his red eyes.
Samkelo: “Why don't you listen?”
He pumped hard this time.
Me: “Ahhh”
He was pumping hard when he enters just to punish
me... He pumped harder when I wasn't answering his
question.
Me: “I'm sorry” I was now crying.
Samkelo: “Tears won't help you”
He pumped hard and harder and harder and we came
the same time. After he got off me I tried to get up my
legs were sore. When I took few steps my legs failed
me and I was down...
He came to help me to get up and I was angry because
he was smiling. I went to take a shower and I locked
the door when I came out he went in to take a shower
592 | P a g e
my phone rang...
Craig: “Don't worry I'm on it”
Me: “Craig what is it?” Craig is doing our PR. What he is
on about?
Craig: “You haven't today's newspaper?”
Me: “Nop and you Hanna tell me right?”
Craig: “I'll send a link right now” he hung up.
My phone beeped and he came out of the shower.
Me: “What!?” I said out loud. “Samkelo Khumalo's
bastard child” it was the headlines.
I threw my phone on the wall.
Samkelo: “And then?”
Me: “Smamukele is being labelled as a bastard child all
over the newspapers”
I've never been this angry and being angry is an
understatement.
Samkelo: “I'll find whoever did this”
I got dress quickly and we went to Kat's room.
Kat: “Hayi maarn!”
They were having sex. Nomxo laughed.
Me: “Sorry but Sma is all over the newspapers”
Samkelo: “I need ago ahead Grootman”
Kat: “Sure do what you have to do. You need to leave
now”
We laughed and we got out of their room.
Samkelo called the editor of the newspapers and gave
him an ultimatum but he said we won't extract it
because it the big...

Samkelo: “I'll sue them”
Me: “Forget about that babe the story is out and we
have to teach them a lesson by hacking to their bank
and take all their money and we'll clean it through the
pub”
He went outside I don't know why. I went inside the
main house to make breakfast but
MaNdlovu and Mntungwa were kissing in the kitchen.
When took my steps backwards and I bumped to
Samkelo.
Samkelo: “Yini?”
Me: “I found them kissing each other”
He laughed.
Samkelo: “You luck because they were not having sex”
Me: “What?” out of shock.
He went in first in the kitchen.
Mntungwa: “Where is your manners boy?”
Samkelo: “Please get a room”
They laughed and I got in I was little ashamed.
I helped MaNdlovu with breakfast we all sat down and
ate. Today we're going back to Durban and this
Sma's matter being all over the paper worries me.
Mntungwa: “Samkelo I think you handling this matter”
Samkelo: “I'm handling it taima” He nodded.
I went back to my room to pack our stuff and kids’
stuff.
MaNgema came in my room.
MaNgema: “Sorry my child about this matter being
594 | P a g e
splashed in the newspapers”
Me: “Thanks mah”
She sat down on the couch and I went to sit next to
her.
Me: “Mah I would like to ask something”
MaNgema: “Okay"
Me: “Who is Patronella?”
MaNgema: “Patronella is Precious's mother”
Me: “I don't know her”
She giggled.
MaNgema: “Remember the one who said nasty things
about you in the kitchen?”
Me: “Yes I remember her”
MaNgema: “That is Patronella who is Precious and
Petunia's mother”
Fuck! Mntungwa is fucking MaNdlovu's best friend.
Me: “Thanks mah”
Why do I think Precious is behind this matter? And it
can be her she wanted revenge after I beat the crap
out of him.
We had a conversation with then she got up and we
hugged and we went out of the room to find
Samkelo and share my thoughts with him... He wasn't
in the yard so I went to check inside the house.
Sma told me that he's with mkhulu (Mntungwa). I went
to the study...
Mntungwa: “Please take your brats with you”
Samkelo: “What did they do now?”
595 | P a g e
Mntungwa: “They said in front of your mother that I hit
another lady’s ass”
They all laughed. He's talking with his sons!
Kat: “You still doing that taima?” he laughed.
Mntungwa: “Thanks to Juju with his big mouth he even
imitated on Sma's little voice”
They all laughed.
Lwandile: “So that's why she was angry?”
Mntungwa: “Yeah but I gave her a mind-blowing sex”
Them: “Hayi taima!”
I knocked.
Samkelo's eyes were out.
Mntungwa: “Come in my child”
I came in and I went to sit on the chair next to
Samkelo.
Me: “I think I know who leaked that story”
Samkelo: “Who is it?”
Me: “It's Precious” All eyes were on me.
Samkelo: “What?”
Me: “Who did I be at last few weeks and didn't open a
case on me? Who was here who wasn't a
close relative?"
Kat: “It’s true”
Me: “I need to talk to her”
Samkelo: “There's no need for that babe”
Me: “Okay”
We'll talk about this when we are alone. I was angry at
him in the morning after the sex we had but now I
596 | P a g e
think I'm cool even though my velvet still hurts.
Mntungwa: “What did you do to Thando's sex tape?”
he was looking at me.
I was thirst with a blink of an eye I got up and tried to
walk away. Kat and Samkelo eyes were all out.
Mntungwa: “Sit down”
This old man scares me off but now I'm even shaking...
I went back to sit.
Mntungwa: “You thought I don't know about it?”
Samkelo: “Hayi taima”
Mntungwa: “I need you to make sure that video won't
resurface and don't let something like that happen
again”
I couldn't swallow saliva I was so shocked. I couldn't
say they for another minute so I excused myself.
I went to the kitchen I found Nomxo there making food
for herself...
Me: “Are you okay?”
Nomxo: “Yeah I'm okay it’s just that I need to eat” she
took her food to the lounge.
MaNdlovu don't treat Nomxo and Rachel the way she
does to me but I don't care anymore because
I'm married to her son not her so she can go and fuck
herself.
At 12:30 midday we left the Wineen for Durban I miss
my house a lot. My parents went to Mtunzini I thought
maybe they'll sleep in my house then go home
tomorrow but they went straight home. Mom wasn't
597 | P a g e
herself I don't know why but she was bitter all the
weekend.
I didn't cook because I was tired I ordered pizza and I
bath them after that we all ate Samkelo went to tuck
them in he came to our room took a shower together
then we went to sleep.
In the morning I went to wake them because they're
going back to crèche and next two months it is
Sma's birthday so Nokwe will plan Sma's birthday
party. I want him to have fun on his birthday. He
is turning 3 on 15 August while Juju is turning 4 on 17
December.
I bath them got them dressed and Sma choose son
what he wants to wear and Juju also so it’s but I made
them wear their crèche's t-shirts and black tracksuit
pants and jackets beanie and gloves. It so hard to raise
two boys while I'm pregnant because they drive me
crazy...
Juju: “No I want to dress like you ntwana”
Samkelo: “No you can't dress like me”
Samkelo is wearing a black suit with black shirt and a
mustard tie with black formal sweat shoes holding
lawyers’ gown on his arm and those lawyer’s briefcase
He's so sexy!
I gave them breakfast and Samkelo didn't eat he don't
eat if he's in that suit and I know he'll win that case.
After they ate I took their backpacks pack their
lunchboxes.
598 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Wish me luck babe”
Me: “Good luck babe” he pulled me close for a kiss we
kissed.
Juju: “Please get a room” I pulled out and looked at
him Samkelo was in stitches.
Samkelo: “He got that at home in Wineen I'm sure”
Juju don't want to be in a car sit but I put him I won't
be told by him.
"A song mommy"-Sma.
He loves music. He damaged Lwandile's earphones and
his father gave him another one and his iPod he wasn't
eating or playing he wanted to sleep with them in his
ear so I was forced to wait for him to fall asleep then
took earphones.
I connected my phone to the Bluetooth.
Sma : “I want that one Ntwana yam Ntwana yam”
Juju: “Hayi wena please play Laliga”
How could Samkelo do that? He plays that song when
he kills someone if he's in the mood...
Juju: “Mom!” he shouted.
I play the song.
They were trying to say the lyrics but they don't know
them well but Sma screamed on the part he heard it
well it was so cute to see them on a rear view mirror
when we got to their crèche I went in with them I'm
happy that they were understanding. Juju's wound is
completely healed.
After dropping them I went back home. The house was
599 | P a g e
clean so I wanted to bake it’s been long time
I baked chocolate muffins and vanilla muffins because I
don't want them to fight. When I was done I cleaned
then I told Mam'S to take some with coffee and I did
too after that I watched the tv....
I dose off and I was woken by my phone.
Voice: “Hey” I looked at my phone it’s an unknown
number.
Me: “Hey. Who am I talking to?” in a sleepy voice.
Voice: “It’s Mark here. I'm sorry that I woke you up but
I was wondering if you available to do lunch with me”
Me: “Eish I'll confirm with you now” I hung up.
It’s still early for fetching kids at crèche so I need to call
my husband. His phone was on voicemail.
I decided to call Kat I need to tell someone.
Kat: “Nompe”
Me: “Ta that Mark guy wants to meet me for lunch and
I tried to call Samkelo and I think he's still in court”
Kat: “Okay go we need to know his moves and I will call
Spiro to follow you”
Me: “Sure Ta” I hung up.
I called Mark to tell him it’s okay. He said we’ll meet in
an hour in the same restaurant.
This Mark (Bukhosi) guy thinks I'm a fool I'll show him
flames if he thinks she'll mess with my family. I went to
tell Mam'S that I'm going out. She does her work and
I'm not complaining with anything and my kids like
her.
600 | P a g e
I wore a dusty pink tight dress that reveals my pump
and black with a black coat and black ankle boots.
I took my car keys and bag then I went off. I took three
guns with me. I sent Spiro the name of the restaurant
so that he came follow.
I found him there in another table I went there and I
sat down.
Mark: “Thanks for coming”
There's something wrong with this dude. He smiled
after a long time. If he's not on drugs something is
wrong. All the sudden he was in a happy moody. After
looking at the menu the waiter came with food that I
didn't order I was calm.
Me: “Thanks” It was Salmon and baked potatoes and
butternut with the wine.
Mark: “I ordered for us”
It’s a trap!
I won't eat this food maybe it has poison or something
but I'm hungry...I need an excuse for not eating this
“ordered” food.
I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom I got in a toilet
and lock I pretended as if I'm vomiting if he's following
me. I went to “wash” my mouth then I went back. My
phone was shifted it wasn't like that when I left the
bathroom I sat down.
Mark: “I ordered juice for you”
Me: “Okay thanks” I faked a smile.
He started to eat I went running again to the ladies
601 | P a g e
again I won't eat that food in that moment I'm so
hungry and that food smells divine and its delicious I
can see it.... I went back again when I was done.
Mark: “Are you okay?”
Me: “No and I sat down.
Mark: “Thanks for coming”
There's something wrong with this dude. He smiled
after a long time. If he's not on drugs something is
wrong. All the sudden he was in a happy moody. After
looking at the menu the waiter came with food that I

Me: “Okay thanks” I faked a smile.
He started to eat I went running again to the ladies
again I won't eat that food in that moment I'm so
hungry and that food smells divine and its delicious I
602 | P a g e
can see it.... I went back again when I was done.
Mark: “Are you okay?”
Me: “No I'm not okay” my face expression confirmed
on what I was saying.
I looked at the watch.
Mark: “I'm sorry that you fell sick but I wanted to know
you better”
Me: “It’s hard to be a woman”
Mark: “Yeah is it food?”
Me: “Yeah and I'm sorry I won't be able to eat or drink
anything”
Me: “It’s okay dear” he called a waiter to clear our
table.
Mark: “So you married?” The question I was waiting
for.
Me: “Yes I'm married and you?”
His facial expression was telling another story.
Mark: “I divorced and two kids on that marriage"
Me: “I have two boys”
Mark: “I would like to meet them one day” he smiled.
My kids are in danger.
Me: “What was the reason of the divorce if I may ask”
Mark: “She was cheating so I caught her red handed”
Me: “I'm sorry to hear that”
Mark: “So you happy in your marriage?”
Me: “I'm not supposed to say this but my husband is a
cheating bastard so I'm doing this for my kids and my
future”
603 | P a g e
My eyes were filled with tears.... This pregnancy can
take me in places if I go for auditions I can be the best.
Mark: “Sorry dear I know what you're going through”
I saw Samkelo talking to other men and they sat on a
table over there. When I checked Spiro with my eyes
he smiled and looked away. Mark's eyes saw Samkelo
and he put his hands-on top of mine and I didn't fight
it.
Samkelo saw me and his face changed to a face of a
monster like when he does the killings...
Fuck! I said to myself.
He came to the table I was sitting on with Mark and.....
Samkelo: “And then?”
Mark: “Sorry mjita you're disturbing”
Yerrrrrrrr.
Samkelo: “Listen here you fool....”
Me: “Why you always want to ruin and dictates my life
Samkelo? Can't I be happy? Huh?” I was crying so
hard.
He was like “Are you crazy?”
Me: “Please go back to your table and continue to
whatever you were busy with and leave me alone!”
I continued with my tears.
Mark: “Please leave mjita”
Samkelo: “Ei I'm not living here without my wife”
If I wasn't pregnant he would've slapped me by now.
They started to argue now like they're fighting for me. I
got up and I tried to walk but I couldn't.... I passed
604 | P a g e
out......
When I opened my eyes I was in Samkelo's car and he
was driving....
I laughed out! He looked at me...
Samkelo: “What the fuck?”
Me: “I deserve a Grammy award for that performance
babe” I was laying in the back of his car. He drove to
the hospital.
Me: “I need to make it real but I won't see a doctor I'm
fine. I'll explain later”
He stopped at the hospital and he took me inside. We
went to the other sides at there for 2 hours. He called
Spiro to go and take the kids and he called the crèche
to tell them that Zane Masukunye (Spiro) is going to
fetch the kids.
After 2 hours we went to the cars on our way he was
quiet and we found Kat Spikes and Spiro there eating
the chicken I was craving for...
When we got in Spiro clapped his hands.
Spiro: “Hayi you're such an actress shame”
Me: “Nxaa Hayi suka go and get my laptop in the
study”
He went to get it and Samkelo hasn't said a word he
went upstairs.
Kat: “I heard that you did an unthinkable there” he
laughed so hard.
Me: “I was forced to do that to avoid fight between
him and Mark”
605 | P a g e
Kat: “Great move”
Me: “There's something off about him”
Spikes: “What is it?”
Me: “If he's not in drugs or something is wrong
upstairs” I pointed my head. Spikes laughed.
Spikes: “He's bipolar. I wanted to check your skills” I
laughed.
Kat: “He's dangerous Nompe be careful”
I managed to hack in the CCTV footage of the
restaurant...
Me: “Wow!” I was looking in the screen.
Me: “He poured something on my drink this confirms
my suspicions about what I thought when I came back
to the toilet”
I showed them the CCTV footage.
Kat: “You ready to deal with a bipolar I can see that”
Spikes: “Yeah she is ready”
Me: “I'll have to kill him before he does something
stupid”
Samkelo: “You'll kill who Manje?”
Spikes's phone rang and he got up to speak to with the
phone....
Me: “That guy you almost beat him up is bipolar and
he's after us as you know. I told him that I'm
not “happy” in my marriage for him not try to break us
apart so he knows everything about us so I have to kill
him first”
Spikes came in.
606 | P a g e
Spikes: “You won't believe that Mbangatha brothers
are the one that told about him about S.K being the
best lawyer unfortunately S.K lost the case so he joined
forces with Mbathanga's to get revenge”
Kat: “I need you to get Mbangatha brothers and I
heard they're in town so I want all in Mark's
house tomorrow at 20:00pm alive and that psycho
called Mark who is Bukhosi. Spiro make sure next
week you're ready to be in Westville prison I need that
Sambo boy dead by next week I need to put an end in
this madness”
Us: “Sure Ta”
Spiro don't he killing in Prison.
Kat: “Axe Spikes Andile Sakhi and I are going to East
Africa in three weeks from now to a cash heist so
Nompe you'll handle the shipment in Cape Town and
Spiro will be back by that time so I need you to make it
happen”
Me: “How many figures Ta?”
He laughed.
Kat: “Let me say we'll be filthy rich after this heist
because we're taking about US dollars and we
need more businesses to clean this cash”
Us: “What?”
Spikes: “US dollars Hayi maarn and why I'm included?”
Spiro: “Nxaa voetsek wena” he likes to sneak around.
Kat: “I thought you'll be busy”
Spider: “Ta I'm not busy I'll be available” he was
607 | P a g e
pleading with Ta Kat.
Kat: “Okay sure vele I need your skills”
I got up from the couch and I went to take scones and
juice for me and Kat. I put his food in front of him and
Spikes laughed.
Samkelo: “This is starting to be a problem now”
Kat: “What is the problem?”
Samkelo: “Lately you the only one being served”
Spikes: “Ta is the favourite this days’” Kat was
confused.
Kat: “What does that mean?”
Samkelo: “uNompe uthandiswa wena Grootman”
Kat frowned with confusion. Spider laughed they all
joined after that. I haven't noticed that but what he
said is true I only serve him and I have enjoyed his
presence.
Kat: “I should limit myself in this house?” Tears filled
my eyes.
Samkelo: “Yes you should maybe I can be served” he
was laughing.
I just cried out loud.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry I was joking”
He tried to comfort me but I cried even harder.
Spiro: “That's why I don't have girlfriend"
Kat calmed me down and I was so happy after that.
Spikes: “Please lord help me Zee can't be pregnant in
anytime soon”
Kat went to take Mayonnaise and tomatoes and
608 | P a g e
Aromat for me in the kitchen.
Me: “How did you know?” I was so happy.
Kat: “I saw you eating this with Nomxo” Samkelo shook
his head.
Spider: “You need prayers wena”
Me: “Voetsek wena”
I ate tomatoes what was dunked in Mayonnaise they
were looking at me like I'm crazy.
After that I went to check on my boys they were asleep
and I went to the bedroom I took a shower and they
left and he came to our bedroom and I was lotioning
my body...
Samkelo: “We need to talk babe”
I went to sit on the bed next to him.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry for overreacting”
Me: “I need to apologise too”
He licked his lower lip.
Me: “I tried to call you but your phone was off so I
called Kat to tell him that Mark (Bukhosi) wants to do
lunch with me the only reason made me to go there I
wanted to study him through his eyes and facial
expression. His next move is to fall in love with me and
get his wife to be in love with you he
wants to destroy us so that's why I pretended as if
you're making my life a living hell for him to get
a message that our relationship is a mess so there will
be no need to send his wife to seduce him and now he
is after our kids”
609 | P a g e
He was confused.
Me: “Yeah he told me that he is divorced but it’s not
true and he spiked my juice that's why I didn't eat I
knew his motives so that's why Ta said he needs to
eliminate them first”
Samkelo: “I'm sorry for causing that drama and not to
trust you babe”
Me: “It's okay babe but I need you to trust me” I put
my hands-on top of his.
Samkelo: “It’s just that I don't want any man near you”
Me: “I'm yours alone so relax babe” I pecked his lips.
He smiled. So I'm forgiven if that smile appears in his
face.
To be married to a famous and dangerous Gangster is
great but sometimes it’s dangerous too especially if
he's goons act out of jealous but I love my cute and
sexy Gangster my husband the father of my children.
Samkelo: “Give me your feet” I did put my feet on his
lap.
Me: “You're so sweet babe”
Samkelo: “Even though you hate me”
Me: “I don't hate you babe it’s just that you're drive
me crazy sometime like your kids”
Samkelo: “Juju and Sma got Mntungwa in trouble with
Mah”
Me: “What did they do?” I knew it but I need to hear it
from him.
Samkelo: “Dad took Juju and Sma with him to the
610 | P a g e
shopping centre and he spanked another lady there so
Juju said that in man's presence and she got angry” he
laughed.
I laughed too.
Me: “I hope they didn't cause more problems”
Samkelo: “Hayi they didn't. Taima is still in hot girls”
Me: “And you don't have problem with it?”He
laughed.
Samkelo: “No I don't Mntungwa likes women so mah
have to make peace with it”
Me: “Even if he's sleeping with her friend?”
Fuck I wasn’t supposed to say that...
Samkelo: “Who told you?”
Me: “You knew?”my eyes were all out.
He laughed out loud.
Samkelo: “I once caught them having sex when I was in
varsity”
Me: “You're lying!” I said out of shock.
Samkelo: “Yeah but mah don't know about it and she's
better not knowing because she'll cause drama about
it”
Me: “I can't believe what I'm hearing right now but I
dare you teach my boys that nonsense you'll know me”
He laughed.
Me: “I almost forgot who said you must teach them
Laliga by Okmalumkoolkat?”
Samkelo: “I love the song so I have to teach them
besides they're Axe's boys so they better know it in
611 | P a g e
early stage”
Me: “You want to teach my kids to be Gangsters?”
Samkelo: “No babe but when they're old I have to
teach them how to fight in case they get kidnap or”
Me: “Never ever!” I took my feet off his lap he's full of
nonsense now I can't believe him.
Samkelo: “You're caring a boy again” he wants me to
soften up.
Me: “Who told you so?”
Samkelo: “You're always fighting with me”
Me: “I wish it can be a girl because I'm always
surrounded by boys”
SK: “Boy or girl I will love my child”
Me: “Let's hope he won't be noisy like those two”
Samkelo: “Ei I promised them a shopping

Chapter 36

Me: “They'll clean your card”

Samkelo: “You can say that again”
Me: “So I'm not invited?”
Samkelo: “It's boys out and let's sleep babe”
He snuggled me he was brushing my pump and I fell
asleep in his arms.
In the morning I woke up took a bath I wore my black
Adidas tracksuits with Adidas sneakers luckily
612 | P a g e
Mam'S bath them so I took their tracksuits matching to
mine and sneakers I dressed them I went to the kitchen
to make breakfast.
He came down wearing tracksuits and sneakers with
me....
Samkelo: “Oh wow! I need a picture of all of us in
matching outfits”
Juju & Sma: “Ntwana!”they shouted!
He picked both and I asked Mam'S to take pictures and
we look good.
Samkelo: “I'm not going to the office today. We going
to check that place I bought for you after dropping the
kids”
Me: “Mhm okay I'm driving”
He nodded. I took the kids backpacks then I found
them strapped in their car seats then I drove out the
gate.
Sma: “Our song mom”
Oh God.
Daddy connected the phone. We all sang the song...
Me: “Black car behind us” He checked on the mirror.
Samkelo: “Drive faster” he whispered.
When we got to their gate of their crèche the black car
stopped and Mark out with another beautiful baby girl
who is about 3 to 4 years jumping up and down. This
bastard is playing a dangerous game by getting near
my kids.
Me: “This is a trap” Mark got inside with his girl.
613 | P a g e
Samkelo: “What now?”
Me: “I don’t know babe”
He took out his phone and made few calls.
Samkelo: “Spiro is on his way with castor oil. We’ll go
after dropping them off”
I got out of the car and took them inside.
Mark: “Nompe” smiling.
Me: “Mark what are you doing here?”
Mark: “To drop off my girl. I can see you here for that
too”
Me: “Yeah of course”
Mark: “Hey boys”
Them: “Hi”
Mark: “I'll see you around”
Me: “Okay” I went in with them.
When I got back to the car...
Samkelo: “That silver-grey car over there parked after
he drove off”
Me: “To take kidnap them?”
Samkelo: “Nop I think they're being monitored” I
started the engine then we drove to check the place.
We got to the place its big and open and I don't know
when he settled the balance but I'm happy that
I will have something to do that to be a housewife and
a stay-home mom.
Me: “I'm happy thanks babe”
Samkelo: “I'm glad you like it so why do you think
about its boutique or pub?”
614 | P a g e
Me: “Pub we need to clean the coming dollars so
boutique will raise many questions”
Samkelo: “You're clever”
My phone rang.
Me: “Hello”
Her: “Hey Ma’am we have a problem here” The boy's
teacher.
Me: “What is it?”
Her: “Junior and Smamukele have running tummy”
Me: “Okay I'll be there now now. Your plan worked we
need to get them from crèche”
He locks the door and we drove to the crèche and they
were not cool especially Sma he was worse that Juju.
When we got home I made them tea with milk and
they ate and drank the tea. We spent all day indoors
and he forced me to play PlayStation with him and I
really enjoy edit. I cook after that
and boys went to sleep early and we took them to
Mam'S cottage and we told her that we are going out.
I took my laptop with me I want to clean their bank
accounts just for fun. Spikes sent GPS coordinates
to Samkelo's phone then went drove to the place. We
have black SUV that we are using when we going to a
mission and our bikes have an Emblem of the EAGLE
too.
I wonder how Sakhi and Thokozani hide this to their
wives. Thokozani is also going to the mission in
East Africa they need his skills too he is an Architecture
615 | P a g e
so he has connections to their house they are going to.
Thokozani briefed us on entrance points and exiting
points so he showed us the plan of the house so it
easy.
Kat: “So they're are in there?”
Spikes: “Yes I made sure of it”
Kat: “How is it going?”
Me: “Please give me a minute”
After two minutes I managed to jam the network
around Marks house.
Kat: “Let's go in”
He is leading today. I took my guns with me and luckily
Zee was with us here but we don't talk when we're on
a mission we don't want to lose focus.
Four Month pregnant I'm jumping fences what can I
say I'm a Gangster married to one!
The house is beautiful.
Spikes and Spiro went to the kids’ room to take them.
They drugged them first. AK and Zorro went to the safe
of the house to take whatever in there. We were
scattered the house is big less than 9 minutes
AK and Zorro came back. I was with Axe.
We got to the up level of the house and they're were
watching a soccer match fool! Ta Kat threw the
Mustard scarf from upstairs to the lounge in
downstairs and it landed in the coffee table....
The guns clicked in a sexy way....
Kat: “Boys! Boys! Boys!” he clapped his hands.
616 | P a g e
They eyes were all out. Our members are outside the
house and other are in the yard.
Kat: “Mbangatha boys and Bukhosi” Bukhosi's eyes
were all out.
Kat: “Put the guns down!!” in loud scary voice.
Spiro took their guns. The fear was written in his face.
Kat: “Put his wife and kids in separate chairs” Boys did
as they were told.
Kat: “Give Bukhosi a loaded gun”
Bukhosi started to cry.
Kat: “You'll start with your kids wife and then you. I
have too much sins so I don't want your blood in my
hands”
Spikes gave him the gun. This moron will shoot us.
Kat: “Don't try to be smart my boy. I know what you
are thinking right now if you do what you are thinking
right now I'll beat you to death”
Bukhosi is now shaking.
Kat: “Shoot! Now!”
Bukhosi is real shaking! Kat went to him and he stood
behind him.
Kat: “They didn't train you. Ncooah I'll teach you with
your own family” Bukhosi was holding a gun and
Kat's hands was on top of his...
Kat: “Shoot to kill not for ICU” We all laughed.
Us: “Ta Kat! Thee King! Shoot to the life out not ICU!”
The kids woke up and the wife. Bukhosi cried.
Girls: “Daddy no!”
617 | P a g e
Wife: “Bukhosi don't do that!”
Ta Kat laughed out loud!
Us: “The real horror begins!”
The kids were crying and the wife too.
Kat: “Aim now” He fired straight to the forehead of his
younger daughter.
The wife just cried....
Kat: “Aim again” He fired to his old daughter.
Kat: “Don't worry they are dead you're being taught by
the best” he laughed.
Bukhosi was wailing.
Guy1: “It’s about to start” One of the guys we found
here.
Bukhosi: “I don't care!” he shouted.
Kat: “Now go to your wife and take her both eyes out”
What?
Bukhosi stood still. A hot slap landed on his face and its
cause him to fall.
Kat: “I don't repeat myself”
He dragged him and placed him where his wife was. Ta
Kat pointed a gun on him...
Kat: “I'll count to three then you do the job”
Kat: “Axe and Slicer do what you do best”
I went to take one of their phones and I connected it to
my laptop I went to their emails and I managed to get
their banking details so I have everything I need from
now on their server banking details and upcoming
missions through emails.
618 | P a g e
In a minutes Axe and Slicer they were done and
Bukhosi was struggling to take his wife's eyeballs out.
Kat: “Let me teach you something”
Spiro and Spikes cleaned the floor where Axe and Slicer
were doing their jobs. The wife was wailing pleading
with her husband for doing it. Kat took Bukhosi's hand
and forced it through his wife's eye and she wailed.
Kat laughed and it caused us to laugh too.
Kat: “Let's take another one” He did it too after some
minutes his wife passed out. Kat shot her countless in
her head.
Kat: “Now it’s time to kill yourself...”
Bukhosi jumped and slapped Ta Kat....
Bukhosi......
Kat laughed out so loud in a dark scary deepest voice
like he is possessed...
Kat: “It's pity that you'll die in few seconds if it wasn't it
I would've smashed that useless head of yours but I
need to make it like you killed your family then killed
yourself”
He took few steps towards him then he started to
move backwards. Kat grabbed him and forced him to
kneel in front of his family he then shot him in the
head.
I went to the camera room with Spikes I then deleted
the footage from when we got in the house and left
the part where he was killing his family and himself but
no one was visible I made it looked like he killed his
619 | P a g e
family knowing his condition it was a done deal no
wonder Ta Kat don't kill in most of the time.
Mbangatha brothers’ dead bodies were dumped in the
bush then we went to our house we took a shower and
slept.
We won't attend Nyathikazi's funurel because Rachel is
not allowed so in the funeral. Her stepmother didn't
want her to her father's funeral and I feel sorry for but
her father was a bastard. She drank the whole
weekend for not feeling the pain. Her mother died
after she gave birth to her so her father gave her
everything she ever wanted but that was annoyance to
the stepmother.
--------
After a week we had Nomxo's baby shower she cried
almost an hour but her husband calms her down
I think she thought of her first baby who died.
Today its Tuesday I'm going to doctor for my
appointment and he's going with me. The boys are
at crèche I won't deal with those hyperactive kids. Sma
is a crying baby lately and he is clingy to me.
I will rest today because MaNdlovu will pick boys at
crèche so I need to spend time with my man.
Me: “You are speeding now” What's wrong with him.
Samkelo: “I'm thinking about the pub babe”
The renovations are done already next week Friday
we're opening and I can't wait to do something about
my life.
620 | P a g e
Me: “So you must kill us?”
Samkelo: “Sorry babe”
We got to the doctor. She told me to lie in the bed
then applied the cold gel.
Doc: “The heartbeat of the baby is fine and everything
is fine” she was focusing in the screen.
Samkelo was holding my hand and he was smiling.
Samkelo: “Is it too early to know the gender?”
The doctor focus on the screen.
Me: “I hope it’s a girl”
Doc: “Unfortunately for you it's a boy” He smiled.
Me: “As long as he is healthy”
He kissed my hand. When the doctor was done he gave
me vitamins and we went off. We went to have lunch
after our appointment.
When we got to the restaurant he opens the chair for
me and we sat.
Me: “I'm out numbered vele”
Samkelo: “Hawu babe don't be sad we'll make a girl
after him”
Me: “Hayi he is the last one”
Samkelo: “Hawu Mam'Khumalo”
Me: “You think pushing a baby's head out through my
vagina is easy like going in the park” I drank water.
He giggled.
The waiter came and took our order.
Samkelo: “Sorry babe but thanks for giving me a cute
baby” with a smile.
621 | P a g e
Me: “Cute like their mother”
Samkelo: “You not cute” he is serious.
I felt tears in my eyes and they fell on my cheeks...
Samkelo: “Babe I'm joking” he was trying to comfort.
I was still crying. He touched my hand that was in the
table.
Samkelo: “Ngiyaxolisa mama” sexy and sincere.
I smiled with my tears. He smiled too. he wiped them
with his thumbs. Our meal came and we ate.
We gave them a tip and we left.
We went home after that... In our way home he was
driving...
Samkelo: “Do you know that I was once a waiter?”
Me: “Really?”
Samkelo: “Yeah. Spider and I were forced to be waiters
because we got kicked in Res after that we smashed
my dad's car so he wanted us to pay his money after he
fixed the car”
I laughed.
Samkelo: “We were forced to go and stay with my
parents at Umhlanga after being kicked out at Res so
this one Friday my parents went to Wineen for a
weekend. Spider and I planned the party with the cash
I found in their closet the party was lit since we were
well-known in campus the party was going
fine until Me and Spider fought in the middle of the
party and the furniture in the house was broken and all
that so our guests went when we were fighting...” he
622 | P a g e
was laughing..
Me: “And?”
Samkelo: “We passed out in the floor and we were
woken by Mntungwa's sjambok” I laughed out loud.
Me: “You were troublemakers”
Samkelo: “You see the dark thin mark on my left arm?”
Me: “Yeah?”
Samkelo: “I got that scratch that day” he chuckled and
shook his head.
We both laughed out. When we got to my house we
found Andile's car in the yard...
When we got in. I just cried....
Andile: “And now?”
Me: “You're eating my Magnum” I was craving it so I
promised myself that I would eat it...
Samkelo: “Calm down I'll buy you another one”
He calmed me down. I went to my bedroom to put my
comfortable sleepers.
When I came down Kat came in with my Magnum.
Me: “You such a darling unlike that pig” I took Magnum
to his hands and I went to lounge and he followed.
Kat: “Can I please have one?” I took one and gave him.
They all laughed.
Sakhi: “You saved us from lion” I gave him a dead
stare.
Me: ”Bhanoyi”
They laughed.
Kat: “It was mine....(I gave him a stare).... And her”
623 | P a g e
Andile laughed out and the others followed.
Andile: “Haah thanks God Thabi is not pregnant”
Kat let out a big sigh....
Sakho too.
And Samkelo... Did too.
Spikes and Andile laughed. Sakhi's phone rang and he
went to the kitchen.
I heard voices laughing and those are my girls. The Big
four and Thokozani came in first...
This is a nice surprise
Nomxo was here too. They are always fighting...
The came with Pizzas and drink so Nokwe's pump is
visible like mine. I'm four months pregnant now and
Nomxo is due next week and I envy to be her. This
baby is driving me crazy but its unlike Juju. We ate
pizzas and Nokwe was angry at Sakhi because he
denied her to drink one glass of wine.
Nokwe: “Hayi suka”
Sakhi: “Be angry but you won't drink it and I'm tired of
reminding you that you're pregnant”
Nokwe got up and went upstairs.
On the other side Kat was arguing with Nomxo. Kat
wanted the room here downstairs because he doesn’t
want Nomxo to be on stairs. On another side Zee and
Spikes are smiling at each other and
Lwandile and Rachel were arguing....
Me: “We can't be like this we need to do something
funny”
624 | P a g e
Thokozani and Nontu came later and Mam'S opened
for them because she went to her “friends” and
I think she has a man because she will sleep over there
to her “friend” but she deserves to be happy.
We sat down with her because we need to know if
she's fine or what so she tells me if she us going to her
“friends”
Nontu: “I ordered food on my way here and I'm
hungry”
Samkelo: “Please count me in” This man eats and boys
are like him but it’s just that they hate vegetables.
Andile: “Count us all”
We went to dish up for them and we left them in the
lounge we went to Nomxo's room...
Me: “Are you okay?” I at on the bed.
Nomxo: “I'm fine it's just that I'm down today”
Thabi: “We can take you to hospital if you're not
feeling well”
Nomxo: “I'm fine”
We sat they and Thabi went to start cooking and I'm
not in the mood but I'm forced to with my man and
boys with all that crew in the lounge so I went to help
her and Nokwe was lazy so Nontu came to help us in
the kitchen.
Big Four went out to get drinks for gents and they
came back after a while.
At 19:00pm we ate.
Lwandile: “I need to see some dance moves today”
625 | P a g e
Mbuso: “I'm game mfethu”
Me: “Let's make it a challenge”
I went to connect my phone on the HiFi system I love
gqom so they need to dance I don't remember the last
time I really danced....
The first song was Banomoya by Busiswa...
Lwandile: “Ntwana!” to Mbuso. They're were the first
to dance in the dance floor... Sphe and Zamo joined
in...
Fuck! These boys can dance.
Thabi: “Nxaa this boy think they can dance”
She took off her heels. Nokwe joined her. Yhoo! Vosho
and all those dance moves and it reminded me our old
good times. Zee and Nontu joined to so I decided to
join too I couldn't believe I was this flexible...
When we were done Nomxo was sitting on the couch
watching us....
Samkelo: “Spider ntwana asibangene”
He doesn’t want us to laugh at them. The song was on
repeat. They got in and started dancing...
I was so amazed he can dance like this but it unlike
him. The people who were left was Spikes
Thokozani Kat and Andile... I'm sure they gave two left
foot.
Thokozani and Spikes got in.... I won't forget this day
Lwandile made us to see the hidden talents here
I was so amazed to look at them dancing.
Kat: “This reminds me of our clubbing nights Andile”
626 | P a g e
They were clubbing. Snobs? Really? I'm sure they
dance Isipanshula these two....
They both took off their shoes....
Drama!
The boys started to cheer up for them. It’s us ladies
who don't know them dancing. Alcohol has taken place
here!
They started to dance.... I couldn't believe it! I clapped
both of my hands. They're best dancers I can't believe
it when they were done we clapped for them...
I went to lower the volume. Me: “All I can say is after
giving birth you'll open the dancing classes right?” They
both laughed.
Nokwe: “Snobs can dance. I can't believe it!” she said
that loud.
We all laughed.
I went to play next song again but it rang to my mind
that Sma would force his Granny to call me that boy
has a soft spot for me I don't know where its
pregnancy or he likes me vele. My phone has no
network at all.
Lwandile: “Play the song phela”
Me: “I need to make a call” I took my phone off and he
connected his phone.
I went to the kitchen but there was no network. I went
back to lounge.
Me: “Babe please lend me your phone I need to call
mah I want to speak to my boys”
627 | P a g e
Spikes handed me Samkelo's phone. It has no network
too. Since when we have a problem of
network coverage in this house.
Me: “Same problem as mine Spikes give me your
phone”
He gave me his phone. What is going on here?
The gunshots went off.
Me: “Fuck!!!”
Someone inside shot the lights here in the lounge. I
took my gun under the coffee table and I
started shooting...
Me: “Lay down!” I shouted.
The guns went off maybe 15 minutes and we heard
Estate security sirens drawing near so the gunshots
faded...
Voice: “Is everyone okay here!”
I think it’s the security guard.
Kat: “Yeah we fine!”
Samkelo: “Is everyone okay here?”
Sphe: “I think we're fine”
Everyone got up and Nomxo was shaking out of shock
but she is fine Kat went to her to check if she alright.
She is fine. Ladies look each other and Spikes was shot
in the arm but the other were fine.
Me: “Lwandile please go to the study and take my
laptop” He run up the stairs.
Zee: “Where is Mbuso?”
Andile went to the lounge to check for him where he
628 | P a g e
was before the shooting.
Andile: “Shit!” he shouted.
We went to the lounge because we were all standing in
the kitchen and Samkelo was outside speaking with the
security guards.
Andile: “Call the ambulance!”
I ran outside to tell the security guards to call the
ambulance as I was outside Andile was holding
Mbuso to the crew bus Thokozani got in the and Kat
got in driver’s seat and they drove off drove off.
I went back to the house and Nomxo was looking in the
space and the ladies.
I went to sit on the chair and I started to check what
happen with the network.
Nomxo: “Auuu!”
Oh lord not her again.
Thabi: “Let's get her to the hospital now!”
I closed my laptop and I wonder what happened here. I
went to take a jacket and we drove to the hospital.
Nomxo was crying now and I drove as maniac and
when we got to the hospital her water broke.
The nurses took her to the labour ward luckily she
opted for C-section so I think everything will go well
and I called Kat to find in which floor they were in.
Samkelo and I went to the ward they were in and we
found Mntungwa there Andile was pacing up and
down.
Samkelo: “How is he?”
629 | P a g e
Kat: “He is still in there”
The Big Four came in and their eyes were red they
were crying. Andile sat down and one tear came out
and people are going to DIE!
Kat's phone rang. He hung up immediately.
Kat: “Nomxo needs me” he left.
This is taught situation but at least we divided in to two
others are with Nomxo and we with Mbuso here.
Thabi came and went to her husband and com for
thim. His parents came in and MaNgema was
crying and it broke my heart to see her crying like that
Andile got up and went to her and she sob to her
son's chest and his fathers at there and he hasn't said
anything.
It took life a whole year and the doctor came.
Doc: “We managed to remove the bullets and he was
lucky that it missed his left kidney”
Mntungwa: “He's going to be fine?”
Doc: “Yes he will be okay but for now he is heavily
sedated and I will only allow his parents only for now”
Andile: “Thanks God!”
Even the gangster says that in rough times!
Dlamini and MaNgema went to see Mbuso and our 4
fellows came in they were here to guard Mbuso
24/7 because right now we don't know who it is.
Nontu called me telling me that we must come to
Nomxo's ward. I took Lwandile with me.
Me: “He's going to be okay”
630 | P a g e
Lwandile: “He has too” his eyes were filled with tears.
When we got there I found Nokwe crying.
Me: “And then?”
Zee: “Hormones”
I'm sad that Mbuso got hurt but at least kids were not
there they were with their grannies. So he must focus
on what is going.
Zee's phone rang she went to take it...
Lwandile: “Is Kat inside?”
Nontu: “Yeah”
Lwandile: “I thought he was kidding when he said he'll
perform c-section himself” I tried not laugh.
Us: “What?” He looked at us like we crazy.
Lwandile: “He is a qualified doctor” He's lying.
Nontu: “Really?”
Zee came back and she said nothing. After an hour Kat
came to us wearing scarbs.
Kat: “She gave birth to a healthy baby boy”
Us: “Congratulations!”
The smile came. I've never saw that smile before. Zee
was still quiet. Kat went back inside.
Me: “Is everything okay?” I whispered to Zee.
She nodded.
Okay...
I was tired and my feet were swollen.
Samkelo came in with his parents so the dramatic
MaNdlovu demanded to see the baby but I
do understand her she got grandkids later so she spoils
631 | P a g e
them too much and she told me that Juju and
Sma will spend the whole week with them.
We could see the baby and the name of the baby is
Uyizwile Liam Khumalo. I think she named him
Uyizwile because she lost the first one and this one is
with her so her prayers are answered. We saw him he
is cute and tiny and he was sucking his middle fingers.
MaNdlovu: “Like father like son”
Samkelo wanted to laugh.
Kat: “Mah” in low voice.
MaNdlovu: “Even now you suck your middle fingers
when you're sleeping”
We all laughed.
Kat: “You are killing my vibe”
After that I wanted to sleep but my house is a mess
right now but I need to sleep. We drove to
Sakhi's house in Umhlanga so I went to take a shower
to take a shower and I went to sleep and he
wasn't here and its good because I need to rest.
In the morning I went to take a shower and I saw my
overnight bag in the couch that's so thought full of him
and I took hit and it have my toiletry bag a long dress
and two scarf she knows the struggle.
He allowed me to continue to wear my jeans but I
don't wear them when I'm going to his father’s houses
and I always have a scarf and a long skirt in my car in
case when I come home and find
Mntungwa's car in my house. Luckily he took the Navy
632 | P a g e
and white dress so I'll relax in it.
When I was done I went to the kitchen and I found
Sakhi and Nokwe kissing so passionately in
the kitchen...
Me: “Hayi maarn get off your ass in the counter"-me.
They both laughed.
Me: “I'm hungry!”
I was craving hot wings but I'll get them on my way to
hospital but I settled for jungle oats and I went off.
Luckily we got here with my car and he wasn't here and
I think someone came to pick him up.
When I saw MacDonald I craved spicy burger and fries
and I went to the driver-thru
After getting my cravings we drove to hospital. I sat
down there and ate my burger and everyone
was looking at me like I'm crazy.
Samkelo: “Burger in the morning?”
I won't entertain him.
Samkelo: “I'm talking to you”
Me: “I'm pregnant I eat what I like so please I need to
eat in peace”
Mntungwa: “Samkelo let her eat please”
Samkelo gave me a weird stare. Mxm I don't care and I
want another one.
The doctor came in.
Doc: “I have good news he is responding well to the
treatment and he is awake. Visitors will be allowed but
two per time”
633 | P a g e
Andile: “Thanks Doc”
His friends went in first and Andile and TK were still
wearing clothes with blood stains. Kat got in and told
Spikes to drive them home to freshen up and eat.
Before they went we went to see Mbuso.
Andile: “How are you feeling ntwana?”
TK was brushing Mbuso's head...
Mbuso: “I will heal if I get Jaguar P-Race” We all
laughed.
TK: “You'll get it”
Andile: “I'm glad you okay ntwana”
Mbuso: “I'm okay but I still feel pain but there's
something I would like to ask”
TK: “Anything ntwana”
Mbuso: “Why there's always someone out there trying
to hurt you guys?”
Andile: “Ntwana you kn...”
The door opened so wide and we all took out the
guns....
Thami came in running.
Andile: “Nxaa! Shlama!” he was pissed.
Thami: “Andile not now”
We took away our guns.
Mbuso: “Even you?” he looked at me.
Me: “Mbuso after what happened last night I need to
protect myself”
When he was about to answer.
Thami: “Ntwana yami!” he brushed his head.
634 | P a g e
The other guy came in and I don't know him.
Samkelo: “Zidakwa ndini”
The unknown guy is Spiro's young brother and he's
going with his friend Thami. Thami isso wild I
don't know why he is like that.
Kat: “Yeyii wena what happened about to our
supplier?” to Thami.
Thami: “Haah Grootman I've sorted that”
All I know is Thami is not in a gang so I'm here confused
on what they are talking about.
Thami: “Ntwana I'll create a pill with cocaine so that
you will recover soon” TK smacked him on the head.
Thami: “Voetsek wena!”
Samkelo: “You're still rude namanje?”
Thami: “I heard that your wife is pregnant again. Hayi!
SK you not wasting any time neh you always on top of
her”
Samkelo: “Voetsek wena”
They all laughed except me.

Chapter 37

Mbuso "Please don't mind him"

TK: “He said he wants Jaguar P-Race” to Thami.
Thami: “Uyanya go and tell Dlamini that nonsense”
They all laughed. I've never spent time with this Thami
635 | P a g e
but all I can say is he is rude with capital letter
R! He is annoying.
Thami: “I saw Precious and she is still hot and I want to
fuck her yazi”
Andile: “The only thing that you always thinking”
Thami frowned. Yhuu this Thami guy can talk.
Nontu came in running and crying
TK: “Babe what is wrong”
We all stood up.
Nontu: “The baby”
Kat: “What is wrong with the baby?”
Nontu: “The baby is missing...” she was crying...
Us: “What??”
Kat's face changed and he stormed outside Mbuso's
ward...
Someone is baying for our blood. I went out too we
need to call some few calls. After 5 minutes we met in
the crew bus...
Kat: “The nurse gave me grey bandana so this means
KG wants me and only me”
Nomxo passed out after hearing that her child is
missing.
Samkelo: “What we going to do now?”
Kat: “Send a mustard bandana and print it “I'm game”
and sent it to his house”
Spikes: “Grootman you'll need the back up there”
Kat: “Fist fight and I think it’s time to finish him off
now”
636 | P a g e
I've never saw him fist fighting but all I heard is he is
great and he is great in everything fighting shooting
racing in cars and motorbikes and he's a great
negotiator and he more than clever but he is serious
and a snob.
Samkelo: “I’ll set up a backup Grootman”
Me: “I'm going too”
Kat: “Nompe call Phindi and tell her that when I come
back with Uyizwile he has to have tracker”
Me: “Consider it done” He nodded.
I've never saw him like that.
His phone beeped...
Kat: “I got location so at 12:00am we're going be ready
but I'm taking my bike”
TK: “Sure Ta”
Kat: “Oh Nompe and Andile you're staying behind”
Andile and I just kept quiet.
We went back to the hospital and I went to check
Nomxo and she was asleep and Kat got in.
Kat: “MaGwala wam I promise you that I'll go and get
our son even if it’s the last thing I have to do just know
that I love” he was holding her hand and he kissed her
forehead. I got up and left them and
I went to check on Mbuso and he's doing great.
I went home to rest luckily Mam'S and boys are still at
Athlone Park so when I got home I took a quick shower
and I found him naked. He was looking outside the
window I found myself lost in his body. His soft skin
637 | P a g e
and those broad shoulders...
Samkelo: “Come here” he was still looking outside the
window. He reads my mind. I went to him and
I hugged him from behind and my pump was on his ass
he turned to look at me.
Samkelo: “I fall in love with your body each and every
day babe” he was drooling.
We both naked.
I giggled.
I lifted my eyes to look at him and I got lost in his eyes
and his lips found mine and the kiss was slow and
passionately. We haven't had sex for last few days I
know he is frustrated by that my husband loves sex. He
cupped my breast and he...
Me: “Babe you need to get going” I know it I let him
now he'll be late and he mustn't be.
Samkelo: “I still had time” he kissed me again.
I pulled out.
Me: “Babe you need to focus I need Uyizwile back”
Samkelo: “Tonight it's me and you...The whole night...”
he spanked me so hard...
I know he is fighting so hard not to touch me right now
I went to the closet and I took a long yellow dress he
came in before I wore the dress.
Samkelo: “You still hate panties?”
Me: “You don't understand babe”
I don't wear them even when I was pregnant with Juju I
hate the so much so he made peace with that the time
638 | P a g e
I was pregnant with Juju. He went to our basement and
took guns and bombs. I went to kitchen to make us
food and he came in.
Me: “Babe I need to ask you something” He frowned.
Samkelo: “Okay”
Me: “Is it true that Kat is a qualified doctor?” He
laughed out loud.
Samkelo: “Yeah its true you didn't know?”
Me: “I thought he was in SA Army”
Samkelo: “Yes he was as a doctor this means you don't
know him that much”
I gave him a look.
He took his sandwiches and juice and I took mine and
we went to sit in the lounge I didn't knew or I didn't
check if it fixed or what but I'm happy to see my house
in one piece.
Samkelo: “Kat loves medicine since we were growing
and he studied it and had his own surgery and his
friend from medical school decided him to join the
army but as doctors. He spent 5 years there and came
back and I think he was bored so he came back to start
his Gang that's why in our Gang we have professionals
in every department”
Me: “Oh wow!”
Samkelo: “He is a shareholder in some company I
forget its name but it deals with things that have to do
with medicine and Thami is also a shareholder”
I laughed out loud.
639 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Yeah people react like that but Thami is a
Pharmacist”
Me: “What?” this can't be true
Samkelo: “Yeah he is. Thami strikes as drunkard but he
knows his story in making pills and all that”
Hayi ke I can't believe this I think my ears are deceiving
me but I know he won't lie to me. At 11:00am he was
ready to go and we shared a long deep kiss and I felt
his shaft getting hard I pulled out and he took Black
SUV and he drove out.
I cleaned the house after that I chilled a bit and I took
my laptop to check few things I updated the software
and made sure our firewalls are still strong so no
ametuer can get through this but there's no need to
check things out because we now that K.G is the one
who took Uyizwile so his father is
going to bring him home alive and I will check the video
later at night. Our killings are recorded so we have
videos. I decided to call Mam'S I miss my babies.
Mam’S: “How are you Nompe?”
Me: “I'm good Mah unjani?”
Mam’s: “I'm good sis”
I heard noise in the background.
Me: “Can I please talk to them Mah”
She gave them Sma the phone but I heard them
fighting over the phone and Mam'S took the
phone and put in on loudspeaker.
Me: “Hey babies”
640 | P a g e
Them: “Hey mommy”
Me: “I miss you”
Juju: “We don't miss you” Kodwa lengane.
Sma: “I miss you” Such a cool kid.
Me: “I'll come and fetch you tomorrow okay?”
Sma screamed and Juju didn't.
I told them that I love them and Sma replied with his
own language and eye gave the phone back to
Mam'S and I told her that I'm going to fetch them
tomorrow. I drove to the hospital Nomxo was
crying and I asked to others to give us a moment.
Me: “I know it's hard but you know who you're married
to him promised you in front of me that he will go and
get you son so please trust him”
She looked at me.
Nomxo: “What if he is dead? I can't deal with another
loss Nompe” she was sobbing. I went to hug her and
she sobbed I know this reminds her of her first loss but
I know he is alive and Kat will bring
Him home alive.
Me: “We don't call him Thee King for nothing so please
have faith”
She was calmed and I told her that KG took Uyizwile
because he wants to fight with Ta Kat and I hope he
will kill him today. Ladies came in with food and I
forced her to eat and her parents came in so we left
them and when I went to check on Mbuso I found the
Coloured girl and they were kissing.
641 | P a g e
(Clear throat)
They pulled out.
Me: “I came to check up on your but I can see that you
doing well so I won't disturb you but please don't have
sex you might hurt yourself” I said on my way out and I
heard them laughing.
I found Spiro in the waiting room and I think he's here
to make sure everyone one of us here us okay since the
others went with Ta Kat. He came back from prison for
his mission two days back.
Spiro: “Please go home and rest”
Me: “Ei ngathi uyazi how tired I am”
I drove to the mall first and to the groceries and my
favourites and black forest is one of them and
Magnum and full chicken and I decided to but
strawberries cream and non-alcoholic champagne
I want to give a special night with my husband before
boys comes back. I went home after that and
I prepared macaroni and cheese because it’s easy and I
can't slave around the kitchen. When I was done I went
to watch my favourite show 90 Days to Wed.
I must have doze off I was interrupted by Zee's call.
Me: “Mzala” in a sleepy voice.
Zee: “I'm sorry to disturb you cuz”
Me: “I had to wake up vele. What is it?"
Zee: “Can we come to your house tonight?”
Me: “Eish I'm planning this romantic night for Samkelo
tonight”
642 | P a g e
Zee: “Mhm okay”
Me: “Are you okay Mzala?”
Zee: “I think he is cheating on me”
Me: “Do you have proof? If you have one we'll beat her
ass” she laughed
Zee: “Continue with plans and have fun” she hung up
after saying goodbye.
At 18:45pm I went to take a bath I soaked myself to
arm water and it helped me to relax I wish my skin
wasn't sensitive to foam baths and salt but warm water
helped. After taking the long bath I decided to call him
but his phone was ringing and go straight to voicemail I
called him five times but
I didn't reach him I sent him a text telling him that he
must not bring visitors today.
At 20:00pm I wore sexy black lace matching panty with
white pearls on my ass and put a black long lacy see
through robe this combination makes me comfortable
but I don't think I will last with this panty. Rose petals
from the door to our lounge where we'll eat our dinner
and rose petals and petals
go up the stairs leading to the master bedroom. I
switched on the chandelier and it was changing colours
and our champagne in a bucket of ice. The time went
by still waiting for him and at 21:15pm I called him
again I couldn't get hold of him and I sent him text
checking if he's okay but he didn't reply to my calls or
text.
643 | P a g e
I went to get myself a slice of cake and Krush mixed
berries juice and I ate...
I was woken by voices talking loudly when I checked
the time it was midnight and I thought it was
the neighbours who were making noise.
“Eish!!...”
I took my gun on the coffee table and I made my way
to the kitchen....
Samkelo: "My lovely wife!” he shouted and he is
drunk.
Samkelo: “Yhuuu uyashisa mtwana!”
Fuck I forgot that I’m half naked I ran up the stairs and I
switched off the chandelier in our bedroom
and I cried just to think all my effort and he came
drunk with his friends...Nxaa!I don't want to see him. I
went to lock the door and I went to the bathroom to
take tissues and I cried...
Bloody Hormones!
I don't know when I slept but at 07:20am I woke up.
Me: “Fuck!”
I started to cry again when I saw rose petals on the bed
and in the floor. I went to do the morning ritual and I
wore maroon maxi dress luckily; I have short hair these
days I don't want anything in my head these days.
Andile: “Eish! I hope SK has a place to stay after this
and she's pregnant”
Kat: “Just look at them”
I don't know who let them in but I won't ask them.
644 | P a g e
Me: “Morning” I said flatly.
I went to the kitchen I'm hungry and I need to feed my
baby who is inside me. If I'm standing to the kitchen I
see everything that is happening to the lounge. My
kitchen is an open plan.
Andile: “Nxa! Wake up maarn” he was slapping them
lightly.
They didn't wake up. It is S.K Spider Thokozani Spikes
and Spiro who were sleeping in the couches and others
were sleeping on the floor.
I started to make breakfast for Kat and Andile.
Kat: “I need to slap them so hard”
He started with his brother...
Samkelo: “Hayiiiiyini” after the harsh slap. Kat
continued slapping them and Spikes was the last one to
be slapped.
He jumped and took searched for his gun.
Andile: “Iyasho ibhabhi?”
Kat went to connect his phone and played the Kenny G
loudly and they were holding their ears Andile was in
stitches and Kat switched off the disconnected his
phone to the HiFi. Samkelo got up and looked around
him.
Samkelo: “Shit! I messed up” he is loud and after he
said “ouch!” holding Hus head.
Me: “Andile and Kat you breakfast is ready"
Kat: “Siyabonga KaMazibuko”
I was so surprised for the first time and I see he is
645 | P a g e
trying to soften me up. I set to the chairs in the kitchen
and I ate and Kat joined me Andile was busy making a
smoothie for them for hangover.
Samkelo: “Babe wam”
I gave him a stare and he looked down. After eating I
went to the bedroom to put a doek on and scarf
I was going to the hospital and I took my bag and
phone. When I came down I found them sweeping the
rose petals.
Me: “I'm sorry for not asking Ta how is the little one?”
He smiled.
Kat: “He is fine and healthy”
Me: “Siyabonga I'm sure Nomxo is happy”
Kat: “Yeah she is happy but she doesn’t want to see
me”
Me: “Please give her time she'll come around she was
so scared to lose him and it's understandable”
I had tears in my eyes and please don't blame me.
Kat: “I'll do”
Samkelo: “Sthandwa sam”
Me: “You'll find me in the hospital guys” I went out of
the house and I drove to the hospital.
Nomxo was feeding her son and her eyes were red I
know she was crying tears of joys.
Me: “Hey little one” I sat on the chair next to the bed.
Nomxo: “I can't explain the way I'm feeling right now”
she was crying.
Me: “Please don't cry now he is here and he needs you.
646 | P a g e
Can I hold him?”
She gave him to me and he is cute the first born of the
most well-known dangerous gangster and I'm praying
that our kids won't join the gang but who will take
after us but I hate to think about it.
Nomxo: “He came here yesterday barefoot with
bruised knuckles holding him and I knew that he
loves him but I hate to think about it.
Nomxo: “He came here yesterday barefoot with
bruised knuckles holding him and I knew that he
loves him and he will die first than let the bad thing
happens him”
Me: “Please allow him to come and see you” I looked
at her.
Nomxo: “He'll come here with or without my
permission and we'll talk about what happened”
Me: “I told him to give you time and he said he'll do
that”
She tried to laugh. The ladies came in.
Nomxo: “He is a bully”
I laughed.
Nontu: “How is the baby boy”
Nomxo: “He is fine and healthy”
Thabi: “I'm glad he came back to you safe”
Nokwe: “Ncooah ubuyile u little snob”
We laughed.
Rachel came later and she is looking better than few
weeks luckily she has her town house and a job.
647 | P a g e
She is working with Thami in those medical things that
I don't understand.
Rachel: “We should celebrate ladies”
Me: “That is great idea next tomorrow I'm opening the
pub/club but we'll celebrate because Sma's birthday is
approaching”
Nokwe: “Mxm I wish Sakhi will be out of the country
tomorrow I need two glasses of wine”
We laughed.
Her parents came in and we all went out and gave
them time and Mbuso will be discharged tomorrow
after that me and ladies went to check at my pub
which I named Queen Of Axe simply because I'm
Samkelo's Queen Samkelo who is Axe to those who
know him too well.
Mntungwa's construction company were doing
renovations and Thando designed it for me and me
payed for her services. Samkelo has been calling me
and I don't want to talk to him. We went out for lunch
and I went home after that.
I found the guys playing tv games when I went up...
Spikes: “Nompe can we please talk?”
TK: “We would like to apologise for invading your
space yesterday”
Spider: “Please forgive us”
Spiro: “Please come to this side”
He led me to lounge.
Spikes: “We have all your cravings just to say we're
648 | P a g e
sorry and we mean it”
They have all my cravings full Nando’s chicken
MacDonald burger and fries Krush mixed berries
and black forest.
I smiled.
I sat down and they put extra cushions for me and they
sat across the couch from mine. The main door
opened...
He came and I started fuming again.
I took my phone and sent a message to our Ladies
WhatsApp group telling them to come to my house
ASAP.
Samkelo: “Babe wam nunuberry teddy bear ntoyami
yokuhleka the most beautiful woman on earth” he was
giving flowers and chocolate. My heart was dancing
but I won't let it go without punishing them.
Samkelo: “Sorry babe my phone was on silence and I
saw the missed calls and your messages this morning
babe. I'm sorry babe” he has puppy eyes and he was so
sexy.
Spider: “So you forgive us?”
Me: “Yes I forgive you but on one condition”
Them: “Anything”
Me: “You will bake chocolate and vanilla muffins and
cook my favourite food” with a smile.
Spider & TK: “Haaa!”
Spikes: “Consider it done” he gave Spider and TK a
dead stare.
649 | P a g e
Mee: “SK is also included” putting a big chunk in my
mouth.
A while after ladies came in with Kat and Andile.
Andile: “And then?” he asked when they saw them
busy in the kitchen.
Me: “That's what happen when you gate crash the
romantic plans included with the main partner”
They all laughed. Andile called the Big Four and there
were taking videos and Kat was in stitches.
Spikes: “Haah I'll never mess with a pregnant woman”
Spiro: “That's why I don't have a girlfriend”
We were all laughing after they were done MaNdlovu
came in with my boys I was happy to see them and
Sma ran to me to kiss my cheeks and Juju hugged me
because I knelt to their levels.
I offered her something to eat but she said she is not
staying because Nomxo's parents are at her house
thanks God I would've know how to do with that
stubborn all man. She is at Umhlanga so
Nomxo's parents.
We all ate and Kat was still laughing at them.
------------------
The opening of my pub/club was great and that place is
classy and my fellow mate are “supporting”me and
others who have money because the alcohol that I’m
selling is expensive. Samkelo apologised for what he
did and I punished for not giving him sex.
So today I'm packing his suitcase because he is going
650 | P a g e
tomorrow to East Africa for the cash heist. I'm
Six months pregnant now so is Nokwe. Juju is driving
me crazy while Sma wants to brush my tummy when
I'm watching tv with him.
Juju once asked me that “Why is your tummy so big?”
Me: “I'm full my Juju”
And he gave me a weird look and his jaw was dropped
and I didn't know what was going on in his head.
My tummy is so big and others think I'm expecting
twins but I'm not. Thabi Nokwe and Nontu you'd swear
that they are residing here in Durban but no them
spend weekends mostly here. Nontu got a lodge as a
present Nokwe got a restaurant and Thabi too and Zee
wanted a filling station with chesanyama.
Kat ordered the Big Four to find jobs and they are all at
Mpumalanga and sometimes I don't understand their
relationship and Kat made sure they find jobs kude le
because they were asking too many questions. Rachel
spends weekends at Mpumalanga with Lwandile and
Amahle but MaNdlovu don't like it.
Nontu: “Nompe!” she shouted.
Me: “Mtase what are you doing here?” I'm happy to
see her
Nontu: “I'm taking Juju and Sma and they're sleeping
over. Where are they?”
Me: “In the playroom”
I went to them and they were happy to go and sleep
over at Nontu's and Juju taught Sma to shout and to be
651 | P a g e
naughty. I once found him chewing my lipstick.
Nontu went pack their backpacks and they were
choosing what they want to wear and all that.
Samkelo was in the warehouse in a meeting so today I
got a call in the morning that says I need to
sign paperwork. After Nontu went with boys I told
Mam'S that she can go to see her "friends" and she
was happy I don't want to stress her.
I took my keys and went to club and I found Zane my
manager busy with stock taking and I helped him and I
went to sign for purchase and I'm happy with my staff.
Sometimes I call Spiro just to check that my books are
balanced. Spiro is an accountant so I need to confirm
with him because this is a
front I don't want authority to be sniffing around.
I ordered meat for me and my man I know he love to
sit. We also sell me because when you
drunk uyahashuka so I wanted to make money on top
of what I have. When my order was ready I went
Home and when I got in I was welcomed with Loving
you by Kenny G playing so slowly. I hope he is not
drunk I just wish when I lifted my eyes I found him on
his white Calvin Klein boxer holding a rose on his
mouth.
Samkelo: “Mrs Khumalo please come in”
Mhm I'm being spoiled today.
Samkelo: “Beautiful rose for a beautiful woman” he
gave me a rose.
652 | P a g e
He led me to the lounge...
Me: “Ncooah babe you did for me?”
He nodded. He can be an ass sometimes but I love him.
He took my bag and helped me to sit down he took our
takeaways to the kitchen and he came back and I was
already eating a slice of cake.
He giggled.
Me: “You're out done yourself Mr Khumalo” I had tears
in my eyes thinking that I didn't think I can date a guy
like him but now I'm his wife and pregnant with his
third son. I'm legal parent to Smamukele and I was
happy.
Samkelo: “Please don't cry babe I know sometimes I
can be an ass but thanks loving his poor ass (I smiled
with tears and he wiped them) thanks for everything
you have done for me and my boys and I love you so
much Nompendulo” he was starting to be emotional.
Samkelo: “I'll foever be grateful for your love and
accepting and my baggage. I know I'm not perfect but
thanks for being a good wife to me and a good mother
to my kids. I love you babe you're my life my
everything” his cheeks were wet. I wiped his tears and I
pecked his lips.
Me: “I'm also not perfect babe but thanks for
protecting us and providing for us and for loving us”
He kissed me after some time I pulled out.
Me: “I'm hungry babe” I took a chocolate muffin.
Samkelo: “Can I please take this out first?” he pointed
653 | P a g e
to my dress. I smiled and he took off my dress he
laughed when he saw that I was wearing a bra and the
panty wasn't there.
I started to eat but I was too pressed and I went to the
bathroom here downstairs and I rinsed my mouth and
wiped my velvet because I know him. When I came
back he was eating grapes and healmost chock on the
grapes he was eating I know what he is thinking.
Me: “Take it easy babe” I laughed.
He down with juice...
He came near to kiss me and I was his guy is ready to
work. He kissed me so hungrily and list and I missed
him so much. He got up and he helped me to get up
too and he grabbed my ass and I moan on his mouth.
He undoes my bra and my breast are getting bigger
and bigger and he loves them. His boy here was playing
and he heard his kicks and he smiled.
Samkelo: “Haah ntwana!” he was brushing my tummy.
I laughed.
Our eyes met and he was dying to be inside me and I
couldn't wait. He picked me up and we went to our
bedroom he gently placed me on the bed...
Samkelo: “I'll be gently....”
I was moaning his mouth he planted the kisses from
my lips down to my breast down to my stomach and he
stopped when he found my clit with his finger. I was
moaning and he started inserted his finger then his
tounge mhm I wanted him inside me....He made me to
654 | P a g e
sleep with a side and he entered me while he is
kissing...He changed his pace.
Samkelo: “Ahhhh fuck” he was groaning.
Me: “Ahhhh”
He pumped a little hard but gently.
Samkelo: “Hold it babe...Ahhh fuck...” his eyes were
tiny and he was really moving in every corner of me
His body get tense and mine too
Samkeo: “Ahhhh”.... We both came and our body were
trembling and my pussy has it heart of its own
and I felt his dick pulse inside me... We laid there trying
to catch our breath.
He got up and went to take a warn towel and he
cleaned both of us.
Samkelo: “You were lucky because you pregnant if it
wasn’t so you would've few minutes pregnant
Mam'Khumalo” with confident and pride
I chuckled.
Samkelo: “I knew you wouldn't survive a whole week
without sex” he was making circles on my shoulder.
Me: “You planned this right? Thank my romantic
nunuberry” I tickled him.
I love our conversation after sex and to listen to his
heart be at its melts my heart.
Samkelo: “Babe Kat said I must tell you that you'll not
lead the shipment but Spiro and Diamond will and it’s
not up for discussion”
Me: “I don't care but at least you gave a good sex” he
655 | P a g e
laughed.
His flight is leaving at 18:00 pm so we still have time.
He went to take my food in the lounge and we both ate
and we had four rounds and he did he don't want to
hurt his baby. At 16:00 pm we went to take a shower
and he prepared himself to go and at 17:00pm the
Sakhi's crew bus came to pick him
up. Before he goes we shared along deep kissed and
his shafted hardened and I pulled out and kissed his
cheek.
He called me when he got to the hotel and I hope he
won't get up to no good because I'll kill him this time. I
was invited at Nontu's for lunch and Nomxo will join us
with Uyizwile luckily Nontu has playroom too so we'll
be able to talk as ladies.
Me: “How is the little one?” I asked her when she came
back to put him to sleep.
Nomxo: “He is fine and I'm glad his father is not here I
love my husband but I hate it when he tells me how to
take care of my son”
Me: “Ei Mina nje I'm glad I'm not using bathtub for a
week” They laughed.
Nontu: “These men are so controlling”
Thabi: “He pisses me off when he tells me how to treat
Gwajo because he “read” in internet”
We all laughed.
Nontu received a call and she went to the door and
Rachel is here we were happy to be with her. She is
656 | P a g e
doing well for herself. Amahle knows this place so she
went to the others.
Rachel: “Preggies”
Me: “Mxm! I wish Lwandile can give you the second
one”
She laughed out loud.
Me: “After this one I think to get my tubes tied”
All eyes were on me.
Nomxo: “He won't allow that”
Me: “I'll try to soften him up”
Nomxo: “How did you date such snob kodwa?”
We all laughed out loud her calling my man a snob and
her husband is a what then.
Rachel: “He demand respect without saying it”
Nontu: “He's strict”
Me: “I'm his wife I know which button to press”
Them: “Wheeeee”
Samkelo is a hard outside and soft inside and vice versa
of that. He loves to laugh and he's sweet it’s just that
others here don't know him well because it’s hard to
him to open to a “stranger” a she used to say.
Nomxo: “As to ride him?”
Me: “Yeyii” Shaking my index finger to no.
Nokwe: “We need girls weekend gate away like them
as they took boys weekend gate away”
They told them that.
Nontu: “And kids?”
Nokwe: “Nannies sweetheart”
657 | P a g e
I wish to see her as a mother!
Nokwe: “So Miss Mpumalanga how is Mr
Mpumalanga?”
So Rachel is Miss Mpumalanga now? Aiu Nokwe
uzokumangaza.
Rachel: “Mpumalanga is fine” with a smile.
Me: “You go all this way for a dick girl?”
They laughed.
Rachel: “Yeah and his dick is my obsession and I think
of hiring Sakhi as my private pilot” Nokwe laughed out
loud.
Nokwe: “Never!” she was still laughing and she clapped
once.
Thabi was quiet.
Thabi: “I think I'm married to a thug”
Me: “Thug? Ai friend are you high or the wine that kick
in?”
Thabi: “How can I explain his behaviour?” she is
concerned.
Zee: “You always assume the worst”
Nomxo: “My husband does that too but he is a
legitimate businessman”
Nontu: “How does it happen that people can have such
millions?”
Rachel: “You girls are always complaining about your
husbands behaving strange all I see is that you don't
appreciate what you have I mean I'll like to have such
mansion cars and expensive clothes from my Lwandile
658 | P a g e
but he is not there yet and it sucks to hear you whining
about your husband success” she is being emotional.
Me: “Ladies please let us calm”

Chapter 37

Mbuso "Please don't mind him"

TK: “He said he wants Jaguar P-Race” to Thami.
Thami: “Uyanya go and tell Dlamini that nonsense”
They all laughed. I've never spent time with this Thami
but all I can say is he is rude with capital letter
R! He is annoying.
Thami: “I saw Precious and she is still hot and I want to
fuck her yazi”
Andile: “The only thing that you always thinking”
Thami frowned. Yhuu this Thami guy can talk.
Nontu came in running and crying
TK: “Babe what is wrong”
We all stood up.
Nontu: “The baby”
Kat: “What is wrong with the baby?”
Nontu: “The baby is missing...” she was crying...
Us: “What??”
Kat's face changed and he stormed outside Mbuso's
ward...
Someone is baying for our blood. I went out too we
659 | P a g e
need to call some few calls. After 5 minutes we met in
the crew bus...
Kat: “The nurse gave me grey bandana so this means
KG wants me and only me”
Nomxo passed out after hearing that her child is
missing.
Samkelo: “What we going to do now?”
Kat: “Send a mustard bandana and print it “I'm game”
and sent it to his house”
Spikes: “Grootman you'll need the back up there”
Kat: “Fist fight and I think it’s time to finish him off
now”
I've never saw him fist fighting but all I heard is he is
great and he is great in everything fighting shooting
racing in cars and motorbikes and he's a great
negotiator and he more than clever but he is serious
and a snob.
Samkelo: “I’ll set up a backup Grootman”
Me: “I'm going too”
Kat: “Nompe call Phindi and tell her that when I come
back with Uyizwile he has to have tracker”
Me: “Consider it done” He nodded.
I've never saw him like that.
His phone beeped...
Kat: “I got location so at 12:00am we're going be ready
but I'm taking my bike”
TK: “Sure Ta”
Kat: “Oh Nompe and Andile you're staying behind”
660 | P a g e
Andile and I just kept quiet.
We went back to the hospital and I went to check
Nomxo and she was asleep and Kat got in.
Kat: “MaGwala wam I promise you that I'll go and get
our son even if it’s the last thing I have to do just know
that I love” he was holding her hand and he kissed her
forehead. I got up and left them and
I went to check on Mbuso and he's doing great.
I went home to rest luckily Mam'S and boys are still at
Athlone Park so when I got home I took a quick shower
and I found him naked. He was looking outside the
window I found myself lost in his body. His soft skin
and those broad shoulders...
Samkelo: “Come here” he was still looking outside the
window. He reads my mind. I went to him and
I hugged him from behind and my pump was on his ass
he turned to look at me.
Samkelo: “I fall in love with your body each and every
day babe” he was drooling.
We both naked.
I giggled.
I lifted my eyes to look at him and I got lost in his eyes
and his lips found mine and the kiss was slow and
passionately. We haven't had sex for last few days I
know he is frustrated by that my husband loves sex. He
cupped my breast and he...
Me: “Babe you need to get going” I know it I let him
now he'll be late and he mustn't be.
661 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I still had time” he kissed me again.
I pulled out.
Me: “Babe you need to focus I need Uyizwile back”
Samkelo: “Tonight it's me and you...The whole night...”
he spanked me so hard...
I know he is fighting so hard not to touch me right now
I went to the closet and I took a long yellow dress he
came in before I wore the dress.
Samkelo: “You still hate panties?”
Me: “You don't understand babe”
I don't wear them even when I was pregnant with Juju I
hate the so much so he made peace with that the time
I was pregnant with Juju. He went to our basement and
took guns and bombs. I went to kitchen to make us
food and he came in.
Me: “Babe I need to ask you something” He frowned.
Samkelo: “Okay”
Me: “Is it true that Kat is a qualified doctor?” He
laughed out loud.
Samkelo: “Yeah its true you didn't know?”
Me: “I thought he was in SA Army”
Samkelo: “Yes he was as a doctor this means you don't
know him that much”
I gave him a look.
He took his sandwiches and juice and I took mine and
we went to sit in the lounge I didn't knew or I didn't
check if it fixed or what but I'm happy to see my house
in one piece.
662 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Kat loves medicine since we were growing
and he studied it and had his own surgery and his
friend from medical school decided him to join the
army but as doctors. He spent 5 years there and came
back and I think he was bored so he came back to start
his Gang that's why in our Gang we have professionals
in every department”
Me: “Oh wow!”
Samkelo: “He is a shareholder in some company I
forget its name but it deals with things that have to
do with medicine and Thami is also a shareholder”
I laughed out loud.
Samkelo: “Yeah people react like that but Thami is a
Pharmacist”
Me: “What?” this can't be true
Samkelo: “Yeah he is. Thami strikes as drunkard but he
knows his story in making pills and all that”
Hayi ke I can't believe this I think my ears are deceiving
me but I know he won't lie to me. At 11:00am he was
ready to go and we shared a long deep kiss and I felt
his shaft getting hard I pulled out and he took Black
SUV and he drove out.
I cleaned the house after that I chilled a bit and I took
my laptop to check few things I updated the
software and made sure our firewalls are still strong so
no ametuer can get through this but there's no need to
check things out because we now that K.G is the one
who took Uyizwile so his father is going to bring him
663 | P a g e
home alive and I will check the video later at night. Our
killings are recorded so we have videos. I decided to
call Mam'S I miss my babies.
Mam’S: “How are you Nompe?”
Me: “I'm good Mah unjani?”
Mam’s: “I'm good sis”
I heard noise in the background.
Me: “Can I please talk to them Mah”
She gave them Sma the phone but I heard them
fighting over the phone and Mam'S took the
phone and put in on loudspeaker.
Me: “Hey babies”
Them: “Hey mommy”
Me: “I miss you”
Juju: “We don't miss you” Kodwa lengane.
Sma: “I miss you” Such a cool kid.
Me: “I'll come and fetch you tomorrow okay?”
Sma screamed and Juju didn't.
I told them that I love them and Sma replied with his
own language and eye gave the phone back to
Mam'S and I told her that I'm going to fetch them
tomorrow. I drove to the hospital Nomxo was
crying and I asked to others to give us a moment.
Me: “I know it's hard but you know who you're married
to him promised you in front of me that he will go and
get you son so please trust him”
She looked at me.
Nomxo: “What if he is dead? I can't deal with another
664 | P a g e
loss Nompe” she was sobbing. I went to hug her and
she sobbed I know this reminds her of her first loss but
I know he is alive and Kat will bring
Him home alive.
Me: “We don't call him Thee King for nothing so please
have faith”
She was calmed and I told her that KG took Uyizwile
because he wants to fight with Ta Kat and I hope he
will kill him today. Ladies came in with food and I
forced her to eat and her parents came in so we left
them and when I went to check on Mbuso I found the
Coloured girl and they were kissing.
(Clear throat)
They pulled out.
Me: “I came to check up on your but I can see that you
doing well so I won't disturb you but please don't have
sex you might hurt yourself” I said on my way out and I
heard them laughing.
I found Spiro in the waiting room and I think he's here
to make sure everyone one of us here us okay since the
others went with Ta Kat. He came back from prison for
his mission two days back.
Spiro: “Please go home and rest”
Me: “Ei ngathi uyazi how tired I am”
I drove to the mall first and to the groceries and my
favourites and black forest is one of them and
Magnum and full chicken and I decided to but
strawberries cream and non-alcoholic champagne
665 | P a g e
I want to give a special night with my husband before
boys comes back. I went home after that and
I prepared macaroni and cheese because it’s easy and I
can't slave around the kitchen. When I was
done I went to watch my favourite show 90 Days to
Wed.
I must have doze off I was interrupted by Zee's call.
Me: “Mzala” in a sleepy voice.
Zee: “I'm sorry to disturb you cuz”
Me: “I had to wake up vele. What is it?"
Zee: “Can we come to your house tonight?”
Me: “Eish I'm planning this romantic night for Samkelo
tonight”
Zee: “Mhm okay”
Me: “Are you okay Mzala?”
Zee: “I think he is cheating on me”
Me: “Do you have proof? If you have one we'll beat her
ass” she laughed
Zee: “Continue with plans and have fun” she hung up
after saying goodbye.
At 18:45pm I went to take a bath I soaked myself to
arm water and it helped me to relax I wish my skin
wasn't sensitive to foam baths and salt but warm water
helped. After taking the long bath I decided to call him
but his phone was ringing and go straight to voicemail I
called him five times but
I didn't reach him I sent him a text telling him that he
must not bring visitors today.
666 | P a g e
At 20:00pm I wore sexy black lace matching panty with
white pearls on my ass and put a black long lacy see
through robe this combination makes me comfortable
but I don't think I will last with this panty. Rose petals
from the door to our lounge where we'll eat our dinner
and rose petals and petals
go up the stairs leading to the master bedroom. I
switched on the chandelier and it was changing colours
and our champagne in a bucket of ice. The time went
by still waiting for him and at 21:15pm I called him
again I couldn't get hold of him and I sent him text
checking if he's okay but he didn't reply to my calls or
text.
I went to get myself a slice of cake and Krush mixed
berries juice and I ate...
I was woken by voices talking loudly when I checked
the time it was midnight and I thought it was
the neighbours who were making noise.
“Eish!!...”
I took my gun on the coffee table and I made my way
to the kitchen....
Samkelo: "My lovely wife!” he shouted and he is
drunk.
Samkelo: “Yhuuu uyashisa mtwana!”
Fuck I forgot that I’m half naked I ran up the stairs and I
switched off the chandelier in our bedroom and I cried
just to think all my effort and he came drunk with his
friends...Nxaa!I don't want to see him. I went to lock
667 | P a g e
the door and I went to the bathroom to take tissues
and I cried...
Bloody Hormones!
I don't know when I slept but at 07:20am I woke up.
Me: “Fuck!”
I started to cry again when I saw rose petals on the bed
and in the floor. I went to do the morning ritual and I
wore maroon maxi dress luckily; I have short hair these
days I don't want anything in my head these days.
Andile: “Eish! I hope SK has a place to stay after this
and she's pregnant”
Kat: “Just look at them”
I don't know who let them in but I won't ask them.
Me: “Morning” I said flatly.
I went to the kitchen I'm hungry and I need to feed my
baby who is inside me. If I'm standing to the kitchen I
see everything that is happening to the lounge. My
kitchen is an open plan.
Andile: “Nxa! Wake up maarn” he was slapping them
lightly.
They didn't wake up. It is S.K Spider Thokozani Spikes
and Spiro who were sleeping in the couches and others
were sleeping on the floor.
I started to make breakfast for Kat and Andile.
Kat: “I need to slap them so hard”
He started with his brother...
Samkelo: “Hayiiiiyini” after the harsh slap. Kat
continued slapping them and Spikes was the last one to
668 | P a g e
be slapped.
He jumped and took searched for his gun.
Andile: “Iyasho ibhabhi?”
Kat went to connect his phone and played the Kenny G
loudly and they were holding their ears Andile was in
stitches and Kat switched off the disconnected his
phone to the HiFi. Samkelo got up and looked around
him.
Samkelo: “Shit! I messed up” he is loud and after he
said “ouch!” holding Hus head.
Me: “Andile and Kat you breakfast is ready"
Kat: “Siyabonga KaMazibuko”
I was so surprised for the first time and I see he is
trying to soften me up. I set to the chairs in the kitchen
and I ate and Kat joined me Andile was busy making a
smoothie for them for hangover.
Samkelo: “Babe wam”
I gave him a stare and he looked down. After eating I
went to the bedroom to put a doek on and scarf
I was going to the hospital and I took my bag and
phone. When I came down I found them sweeping the
rose petals.
Me: “I'm sorry for not asking Ta how is the little one?”
He smiled.
Kat: “He is fine and healthy”
Me: “Siyabonga I'm sure Nomxo is happy”
Kat: “Yeah she is happy but she doesn’t want to see
me”
669 | P a g e
Me: “Please give her time she'll come around she was
so scared to lose him and it's understandable”
I had tears in my eyes and please don't blame me.
Kat: “I'll do”
Samkelo: “Sthandwa sam”
Me: “You'll find me in the hospital guys” I went out of
the house and I drove to the hospital.
Nomxo was feeding her son and her eyes were red I
know she was crying tears of joys.
Me: “Hey little one” I sat on the chair next to the bed.
Nomxo: “I can't explain the way I'm feeling right now”
she was crying.
Me: “Please don't cry now he is here and he needs you.
Can I hold him?”
She gave him to me and he is cute the first born of the
most well-known dangerous gangster and I'm praying
that our kids won't join the gang but who will take
after us but I hate to think about it.
Nomxo: “He came here yesterday barefoot with
bruised knuckles holding him and I knew that he
loves him but I hate to think about it.
Nomxo: “He came here yesterday barefoot with
bruised knuckles holding him and I knew that he loves
him and he will die first than let the bad thing happens
him”
Me: “Please allow him to come and see you” I looked
at her.
Nomxo: “He'll come here with or without my
670 | P a g e
permission and we'll talk about what happened”
Me: “I told him to give you time and he said he'll do
that”
She tried to laugh. The ladies came in.
Nomxo: “He is a bully”
I laughed.
Nontu: “How is the baby boy”
Nomxo: “He is fine and healthy”
Thabi: “I'm glad he came back to you safe”
Nokwe: “Ncooah ubuyile u little snob”
We laughed.
Rachel came later and she is looking better than few
weeks luckily she has her town house and a job.
She is working with Thami in those medical things that
I don't understand.
Rachel: “We should celebrate ladies”
Me: “That is great idea next tomorrow I'm opening the
pub/club but we'll celebrate because Sma's birthday is
approaching”
Nokwe: “Mxm I wish Sakhi will be out of the country
tomorrow I need two glasses of wine”
We laughed.
Her parents came in and we all went out and gave
them time and Mbuso will be discharged tomorrow
after that me and ladies went to check at my pub
which I named Queen Of Axe simply because I'm
Samkelo's Queen Samkelo who is Axe to those who
know him too well.
671 | P a g e
Mntungwa's construction company were doing
renovations and Thando designed it for me and me
payed for her services. Samkelo has been calling me
and I don't want to talk to him. We went out for lunch
and I went home after that.
I found the guys playing tv games when I went up...
Spikes: “Nompe can we please talk?”
TK: “We would like to apologise for invading your
space yesterday”
Spider: “Please forgive us”
Spiro: “Please come to this side”
He led me to lounge.
Spikes: “We have all your cravings just to say we're
sorry and we mean it”
They have all my cravings full Nando’s chicken
MacDonald burger and fries Krush mixed berries
and black forest.
I smiled.
I sat down and they put extra cushions for me and they
sat across the couch from mine. The main door
opened...
He came and I started fuming again.
I took my phone and sent a message to our Ladies
WhatsApp group telling them to come to my house
ASAP.
Samkelo: “Babe wam nunuberry teddy bear ntoyami
yokuhleka the most beautiful woman on earth”
he was giving flowers and chocolate. My heart was
672 | P a g e
dancing but I won't let it go without punishing them.
Samkelo: “Sorry babe my phone was on silence and I
saw the missed calls and your messages this morning
babe. I'm sorry babe” he has puppy eyes and he was so
sexy.
Spider: “So you forgive us?”
Me: “Yes I forgive you but on one condition”
Them: “Anything”
Me: “You will bake chocolate and vanilla muffins and
cook my favourite food” with a smile.
Spider & TK: “Haaa!”
Spikes: “Consider it done” he gave Spider and TK a
dead stare.
Mee: “SK is also included” putting a big chunk in my
mouth.
A while after ladies came in with Kat and Andile.
Andile: “And then?” he asked when they saw them
busy in the kitchen.
Me: “That's what happen when you gate crash the
romantic plans included with the main partner”
They all laughed. Andile called the Big Four and there
were taking videos and Kat was in stitches.
Spikes: “Haah I'll never mess with a pregnant woman”
Spiro: “That's why I don't have a girlfriend”
We were all laughing after they were done MaNdlovu
came in with my boys I was happy to see them and
Sma ran to me to kiss my cheeks and Juju hugged me
because I knelt to their levels.
673 | P a g e
I offered her something to eat but she said she is not
staying because Nomxo's parents are at her house
thanks God I would've know how to do with that
stubborn all man. She is at Umhlanga so
Nomxo's parents.
We all ate and Kat was still laughing at them.
------------------
The opening of my pub/club was great and that place is
classy and my fellow mate are “supporting” me and
others who have money because the alcohol that I’m
selling is expensive. Samkelo apologised for what he
did and I punished for not giving him sex.
So today I'm packing his suitcase because he is going
tomorrow to East Africa for the cash heist. I'm
Six months pregnant now so is Nokwe. Juju is driving
me crazy while Sma wants to brush my tummy when
I'm watching tv with him.
Juju once asked me that “Why is your tummy so big?”
Me: “I'm full my Juju”
And he gave me a weird look and his jaw was dropped
and I didn't know what was going on in his head.
My tummy is so big and others think I'm expecting
twins but I'm not. Thabi Nokwe and Nontu you'd swear
that they are residing here in Durban but no them
spend weekends mostly here.
Nontu got a lodge as a present Nokwe got a restaurant
and Thabi too and Zee wanted a filling station
with chesanyama.
674 | P a g e
Kat ordered the Big Four to find jobs and they are all at
Mpumalanga and sometimes I don't understand their
relationship and Kat made sure they find jobs kude le
because they were asking too many questions. Rachel
spends weekends at Mpumalanga with Lwandile and
Amahle but MaNdlovu
don't like it.
Nontu: “Nompe!” she shouted.
Me: “Mtase what are you doing here?” I'm happy to
see her
Nontu: “I'm taking Juju and Sma and they're sleeping
over. Where are they?”
Me: “In the playroom”
I went to them and they were happy to go and sleep
over at Nontu's and Juju taught Sma to shout and
to be naughty. I once found him chewing my lipstick.
Nontu went pack their backpacks and they were
choosing what they want to wear and all that.
Samkelo was in the warehouse in a meeting so today I
got a call in the morning that says I need to
sign paperwork. After Nontu went with boys I told
Mam'S that she can go to see her "friends" and she
was happy I don't want to stress her.
I took my keys and went to club and I found Zane my
manager busy with stock taking and I helped him and I
went to sign for purchase and I'm happy with my staff.
Sometimes
I call Spiro just to check that my books are balanced.
675 | P a g e
Spiro is an accountant so I need to confirm with him
because this is a
front I don't want authority to be sniffing around.
I ordered meat for me and my man I know he love to
sit. We also sell me because when you
drunk uyahashuka so I wanted to make money on top
of what I have. When my order was ready I went
Home and when I got in I was welcomed with Loving
you by Kenny G playing so slowly. I hope he is not
drunk I just wish when I lifted my eyes I found him on
his white Calvin Klein boxer holding a rose on his
mouth.
Samkelo: “Mrs Khumalo please come in”
Mhm I'm being spoiled today.
Samkelo: “Beautiful rose for a beautiful woman” he
gave me a rose.
He led me to the lounge...
Me: “Ncooah babe you did for me?”
He nodded. He can be an ass sometimes but I love him.
He took my bag and helped me to sit down
he took our takeaways to the kitchen and he came
back and I was already eating a slice of cake.
He giggled.
Me: “You're out done yourself Mr Khumalo” I had tears
in my eyes thinking that I didn't think I can date a guy
like him but now I'm his wife and pregnant with his
third son. I'm legal parent to Smamukele and I was
happy.
676 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Please don't cry babe I know sometimes I
can be an ass but thanks loving his poor ass (I smiled
with tears and he wiped them) thanks for everything
you have done for me and my boys and I love you so
much Nompendulo” he was starting to be emotional.
Samkelo: “I'll foever be grateful for your love and
accepting and my baggage. I know I'm not perfect but
thanks for being a good wife to me and a good mother
to my kids. I love you babe you're my life my
everything” his cheeks were wet. I wiped his tears and I
pecked his lips.
Me: “I'm also not perfect babe but thanks for
protecting us and providing for us and for loving us”
He kissed me after some time I pulled out.
Me: “I'm hungry babe” I took a chocolate muffin.
Samkelo: “Can I please take this out first?” he pointed
to my dress. I smiled and he took off my dress he
laughed when he saw that I was wearing a bra and the
panty wasn't there.
I started to eat but I was too pressed and I went to the
bathroom here downstairs and I rinsed my mouth and
wiped my velvet because I know him. When I came
back he was eating grapes and he almost chock on the
grapes he was eating I know what he is thinking.
Me: “Take it easy babe” I laughed.
He down with juice...
He came near to kiss me and I was his guy is ready to
work. He kissed me so hungrily and list and I missed
677 | P a g e
him so much. He got up and he helped me to get up
too and he grabbed my ass and I moan on his mouth.
He undoes my bra and my breast are getting bigger
and bigger and he loves them. His boy here was playing
and he heard his kicks and he smiled.
Samkelo: “Haah ntwana!” he was brushing my tummy.
I laughed.
Our eyes met and he was dying to be inside me and I
couldn't wait. He picked me up and we went to our
bedroom he gently placed me on the bed...
Samkelo: “I'll be gently....”
I was moaning his mouth he planted the kisses from
my lips down to my breast down to my stomach and he
stopped when he found my clit with his finger. I was
moaning and he started inserted his finger then his
tounge mhm I wanted him inside me....He made me to
sleep with a side and he entered me while he is
kissing...He changed his pace.
Samkelo: “Ahhhh fuck” he was groaning.
Me: “Ahhhh”
He pumped a little hard but gently.
Samkelo: “Hold it babe...Ahhh fuck...” his eyes were
tiny and he was really moving in every corner of me
His body get tense and mine too
Samkeo: “Ahhhh”.... We both came and our body were
trembling and my pussy has it heart of its own and I
felt his dick pulse inside me... We laid there trying to
catch our breath.
678 | P a g e
He got up and went to take a warn towel and he
cleaned both of us.
Samkelo: “You were lucky because you pregnant if it
wasn’t so you would've few minutes pregnant
Mam'Khumalo” with confident and pride
I chuckled.
Samkelo: “I knew you wouldn't survive a whole week
without sex” he was making circles on my shoulder.
Me: “You planned this right? Thank my romantic
nunuberry” I tickled him.
I love our conversation after sex and to listen to his
heart be at its melts my heart.
Samkelo: “Babe Kat said I must tell you that you'll not
lead the shipment but Spiro and Diamond will and it’s
not up for discussion”
Me: “I don't care but at least you gave a good sex” he
laughed.
His flight is leaving at 18:00 pm so we still have time.
He went to take my food in the lounge and we both ate
and we had four rounds and he did he don't want to
hurt his baby. At 16:00 pm we went to take a shower
and he prepared himself to go and at 17:00pm the
Sakhi's crew bus came to pick him
up. Before he goes we shared along deep kissed and
his shafted hardened and I pulled out and kissed his
cheek.
He called me when he got to the hotel and I hope he
won't get up to no good because I'll kill him this time. I
679 | P a g e
was invited at Nontu's for lunch and Nomxo will join us
with Uyizwile luckily Nontu has playroom too so we'll
be able to talk as ladies.
Me: “How is the little one?” I asked her when she came
back to put him to sleep.
Nomxo: “He is fine and I'm glad his father is not here I
love my husband but I hate it when he tells me how to
take care of my son”
Me: “Ei Mina nje I'm glad I'm not using bathtub for a
week” They laughed.
Nontu: “These men are so controlling”
Thabi: “He pisses me off when he tells me how to treat
Gwajo because he “read” in internet”
We all laughed.
Nontu received a call and she went to the door and
Rachel is here we were happy to be with her. She
is doing well for herself. Amahle knows this place so
she went to the others.
Rachel: “Preggies”
Me: “Mxm! I wish Lwandile can give you the second
one”
She laughed out loud.
Me: “After this one I think to get my tubes tied”
All eyes were on me.
Nomxo: “He won't allow that”
Me: “I'll try to soften him up”
Nomxo: “How did you date such snob kodwa?”
We all laughed out loud her calling my man a snob and
680 | P a g e
her husband is a what then.
Rachel: “He demand respect without saying it”
Nontu: “He's strict”
Me: “I'm his wife I know which button to press”
Them: “Wheeeee”
Samkelo is a hard outside and soft inside and vice versa
of that. He loves to laugh and he's sweet it’s just that
others here don't know him well because it’s hard to
him to open to a “stranger” a she used to say.
Nomxo: “As to ride him?”
Me: “Yeyii” Shaking my index finger to no.
Nokwe: “We need girls weekend gate away like them
as they took boys weekend gate away”
They told them that.
Nontu: “And kids?”
Nokwe: “Nannies sweetheart”
I wish to see her as a mother!
Nokwe: “So Miss Mpumalanga how is Mr
Mpumalanga?”
So Rachel is Miss Mpumalanga now? Aiu Nokwe
uzokumangaza.
Rachel: “Mpumalanga is fine” with a smile.
Me: “You go all this way for a dick girl?”
They laughed.
Rachel: “Yeah and his dick is my obsession and I think
of hiring Sakhi as my private pilot” Nokwe laughed out
loud.
Nokwe: “Never!” she was still laughing and she clapped
681 | P a g e
once.
Thabi was quiet.
Thabi: “I think I'm married to a thug”
Me: “Thug? Ai friend are you high or the wine that kick
in?”
Thabi: “How can I explain his behaviour?” she is
concerned.
Zee: “You always assume the worst”
Nomxo: “My husband does that too but he is a
legitimate businessman”
Nontu: “How does it happen that people can have such
millions?”
Rachel: “You girls are always complaining about your
husbands behaving strange all I see is that you
don't appreciate what you have I mean I'll like to have
such mansion cars and expensive clothes from my
Lwandile but he is not there yet and it sucks to hear
you whining about your husband success” she is being
emotional.
Me: “Ladies please let us calm”

Chapter 39

I went to my office and took my things because I have a

meeting with Sihle's teacher. I drove their first then I'll
be forced to come back in town but maybe someone
can pick them up for me while I'm in a meeting for
682 | P a g e
Sihle's behaviour.
I need to call him.
Samkelo: “Miss me already?”
Me: “Of course not I need someone who can help me
to pick the boys up because now I'm going to the
meeting”
Samkelo: “Okay babe I'll check and get back to you” he
hung up.
After 5 minutes he calls me back.
Samkelo: “Babe Spikes will pick them up and I've
already called at their school”
Me: “Thanks my love I'll thank you later”
Samkelo: “Mhm I like the sound of that” I'm sure has a
smirk on his face.
Me: “Mbulazi let me drive I'll call you late”
Samkelo: “I love you my vanilla muffin” I laughed.
Me: “I love you too my ice cream” I hung up.
When I got there I asked for his teacher at the
reception and their told me to go to his class and
his teacher was expecting me.
Teacher: “Mrs Khumalo I'm glad you came” she
extended her hand and we shake our hands
and offered me as it.
Me: “Miss van Merwe I'm so sorry about my son's
behaviour"
Teacher: “Kids can be kids you but the day he is so
stubborn he doesn’t want to listen to his teachers”
Me: “I will talk to him and discipline him for not
683 | P a g e
obeying his teachers’ instructions”
Teacher: “I'm happy that we will work together as
parent and teacher for him. In that case we
will communicate if we encounter problems with him
again” she got up from her chair and in get up too and
bid farewell. Sihle was standing with his backpack next
to the door. We went to the car.
Sihle: “Mom play our song”
Me: “No I will not play any song for you”
He frowned.
Me: “Don't do that when I'm talking to you” I started
the car.
He was quiet playing with his feet and I know he has
many rude questions.
Me: “Explain yourself why you don't listen to your
teacher?”
He pouted his lips.
Me: “Do that once again I'll stop this car and beat your
little ass until it's red. Do you hear?” I'm angry just to
think he has a bad behaviour at his age worries me
Sihle: “Okay”
Me: “Okay what?”
Sihle: “Okay mom” I'm happy that we are alone here
because his father would've interfered.
He was quiet and I decided to pass at MacDonald to
get burgers I drove to the drive thru and
ordered burgers and McFlurry for us when I wanted to
give him his McFlurry he didn't take it. I will deal
684 | P a g e
with him at home.
When I pull in the yard I help him to unbuckle the seat
belt and he took his backpack and he opened for
himself and run in the house. I took my car and went to
the house and I went straight to the lounge and Heee
myself in the couch.
Juju & Sma: “Hey mommy”
Me: “Hey boys”
Sihle came to sit in the couch across to me. I gave Juju
and Sma they burgers and McFlurry.
Me: “Sihle come to me now! Why are you so rude?” He
came to me and stand in front of me.
He kept quiet.
Me: “Because you don't want to talk take your burger
and McFlurry and eat. You're grounded”
His face changed and I saw his father I know he is
angry.
Sihle: “But...”
Me: “You grounded that means no tv no tv games and
all that until you respect your parents and
your teachers and give me that iPad” my voice was
firmer and he handed the tablet to me.
Me: “When you done eating Sihle you will go to your
room. Juju and Sma when you done eating go and take
you schoolbags and I will help you with your
homework”
Sihle was sad and I didn't care after eating he went to
their bedroom and these two I helped them with their
685 | P a g e
homework. I went to start cooking and my phone
rang.
Spikes: “Nompe I need you to trace the number that I'll
send it to you now”
Me: “Mhm okay” He hung up.
I found Juju and Sma in the lounge.
Me: “Boys I'm not angry at you okay? It’s just that I
need to put Sihle on his place and please don't tell him
to come and apologise to me okay?”.
Juju & Sma: “Okay we won't”
I went to the study and trace the number that Spikes
sent to me few minutes ago. I pick up my phone and
call him
Me: “This number is located in Joburg but I already
sent a map with location on your email”
Spikes: “Sure” he hung up.
When I went back to the kitchen I found my man in the
kitchen drink water. I spanked his tight ass.
Me: “Hey babe”
Samkelo: “Hey”
Me: "Bad day?”
Samkelo: “Nop”
Okay I take it he heard that Sihle is grounded.
Samkelo: “Can we talk in the study?” he walked away. I
lowered the stove and followed him. I closed the door
behind me and went to sit in the chair.
Samkelo: “You are being hard on Sihle now”
Me: “I'm not hard at Sihle it’s just that he is rude so I
686 | P a g e
grounded him”
Samkelo: “Grounded him?”
Me: “Sihle is rude at crèche and to me so I grounded
him I want him to learn how to acknowledge
his wrongs”
Samkelo: “Sihle is….” he didn't finish his sentence.
Me: “I know you love your kids too much and you care
for them but when they are wrong they have to know
that what they did was wrong. They must know the
rules and Sihle will stay grounded until he sees his fault
and apologise” calmly.
Samkelo: “But he is still young”
Me: “We have to set rules while they are still young for
them to be better men in future not spoilt brats nje”
Samkelo: “Okay I hear you but I still don't like to see
him sad you know” he is sulking now.
Me: “When he is alone not playing games he will see
his fault and fix it until then he will remain grounded
and please don't tell him to come and apologise to me”
I looked at him.
Samkelo: “O-kay” he faked a smile.
I went back to the kitchen and when I was done I set a
table and Sma was helping me.
Sma: “Mom I don't like to see him like that”
Me: “I know my boy but he is rude and he needs
discipline”
Sma: “Okay mom”
Me: “Please go and wash your hands and tell your
687 | P a g e
brothers too”
He went to call his brothers and Samkelo came to me.
Samkelo: “Do you remember Bikes riding this
weekend”
Me: “Eish I almost forgot but I can't wait babe”
We stopped talking when we saw them coming to us.
We all sat down. Sihle closed his eyes and put
his hands together.
Sihle: “God bless our food in the name of Jesus amen”
he was blessing our food.
Us: “Amen”
I dished up for him. There's nothing he hates like mixed
vegetables I must force him but I won't today because
he will throw up when I force him to eat it. He has a
short temper and he cries and throw up if you force
him to do something he don't like or he don't like to
eat. MaNdlovu said Samkelo was like
Sihle when he was growing up with short temper and
throwing up so easily.
Samkelo was trying to hold a laugh and we started to
eat after eating I cleared the table and loaded dishes in
dishwasher machine and we went to watch tv in the
lounge.
Sihle came with glass of juice and he came to me.
Sihle: “Mommy I'm sorry” he gave me the glass. I don't
know when how he took that juice in the fridge and he
was alone in the kitchen I wonder.
Me: “You sorry for?”
688 | P a g e
Sihle: “I'm sorry for not listening” he was standing in
front of me looking at me.
Me: “And?”
Sihle: “For being not listening to my teacher”
Me: “Okay my boy I forgive you and tomorrow morning
I will accompany you to Miss to say sorry okay?”
Sihle: “Okay”
Me: “Come and hug your mommy” I opened my arm
and he hugged me and kissed my cheek. I'm glad it
happened so quick I didn't expect it.
Samkelo was looking at us.
Me: “It’s time to sleep!” They got up and went to their
room. We got up too Samkelo went to switch off the
lights in the kitchen and I went to tuck the min after
that I went to my bedroom.
He was laying on bed facing up.
Samkelo: “I didn't expect him to apologise like today”
Me: “Me too but I'm glad he did and it was so sweet
when he blessed the food and him giving me a glass of
juice as peace offering”
He giggled.
Samkelo: “You did well babe and now I feel bad about
having that talk early”
Me: “Don't feel bad babe just be glad that he
apologised” I went to take shower. And he didn't
join me after I was done he went in too and when he
came back naked I was standing near the bed in a red
sexy number. He froze and his guy down there is ready.
689 | P a g e
I make my way to him and he is still
standing I take his hand and lead him to the bed. I
gently push him and he laid on his back and I climbed
on him and I started to kiss him slowly his hands are in
my ass now. He tried to roll me over.
Me: “I'm in charge...”He nodded . Vele I planned to
fuck his mind out today.
I pulled out on a kiss and I planted kisses from his neck
to his six pack down his abdomen and I stopped at his
manhood. I gently rub it and I kissed it... His shaft filled
my mouth I start to blow job him; his moaning and
groaning became loud and louder I feel his body
getting tense and he came in my mouth and I
swallowed. When I looked at him he was breathing
trying to catch his breath. I went to the bathroom and I
came with warm towel to clean him and went back to
bathroom.
I sleep next to him he is still laying with his back facing
up. He pulled me to his chest.
Samkelo: “You the only one who makes me weak”
I giggled.
Me: “Really?” I looked at him. His eyes... I pecked his
lips.
I got on top of him I can't get enough of his lips body
and dick...
Samkelo: “Let me help you with this” he was taking off
my lingerie. He cupped my breast I kissed him so
passionately and slow. I gently push him to lay with his
690 | P a g e
back so I can do as I pleases with him. I grind my pussy
against his dick and his breathing changed his grip
became tight I want him to feel my wetness down
there.
Samkelo: “I need….”
Me: “You need what babe?” grinding more.
Words fail to come out of his mouth. He turned me to
lay on my back and he entered me….Mhm…
Me: “Ahhhhh.... Fuck….” he is moving slowly.
He picked up his pace he is pounding harder now
Me: “Ahhhh…….”
He pounds harder and faster I am moaning and he was
groaning like an animal in top of me... We both came in
the same time. He rolled over while were catching our
breathe.
Samkelo: “I love you Mrs Khumalo” he kissed my
forehead.
Me: “I love you too Mr Khumalo”
He went to take a towel and cleaned both of us and he
laid next to me when he came back from
the bathroom. I like to lay in his chest and he like to
rub my nipples.
Samkelo: “You drive me crazy yazi”
I giggled. A knock on the door.
Sma: “Mom Sihle is crying!”
Me: “Okay im coming my boy” I went to put a rob and
he followed me to their room.
I found him crying Samkelo switch on the light. Sihle is
691 | P a g e
having an allergic reaction he is scratching his face and
arms.
Me: “Babe please go and start the car I'm coming with
him” I went to get dressed in our room. In a second I
was done.
I took him and we are going with the boys to the
hospital at its late now. Samkelo drove like a
maniac and we got there so quickly and luckily the
doctor attended him so quickly because.
Samkelo was shouting at them telling them if they
don't attend him they will know him better.
Doc: “He is having an allergic reaction”
Samkelo: “We know that. What's causing it?” He is
pissed.
Doc: “I don't know yet but Ma'am what is the last thing
he ate?”
Me: “Rice Chicken and salads”
Doc: “It's can be Chicken”
Me: “But he was eating the chicken all along why
now?”
Doc: “It happens ma'am. I'll give you medication which
will help him to the swelling” he is swollen especially in
the face and his arms.
Me: “Thanks doc” I got up. Samkelo took him and he
was asleep. We drove home. Juju and Sma
were sleeping too so I took Sihle and Samkelo took the
other two. We tucked them in their beds. Its
01:20am in the morning and we went back to the
692 | P a g e
bedroom.
Samkelo: “Babe he will be fine. I think he got it from
you”
Me: “Got what from me?” I'm confused.
Samkelo: “You also allergic to Beef and I think he is
allergic to Chicken”
Me: “It makes sense but I don't think he will
understand that he is not eating chicken. It will be
a struggle trust me. He won't stop eating chicken until
he understands that he is allergic to it”
He laughed.
Samkelo: “Stubborn just like his mother” he is not
looking at me.
Me: “Excuse me! And you not stubborn?”
Samkelo: “Let's sleep babe” he snuggled me.
In the morning we both took an innocent shower
together and got dressed in matching Adidas tracksuits
after we to check him and we not going to work today.
He was still asleep and I woke the two and bath them. I
went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Sma and Juju came to sit in the bar stools in the
kitchen to eat their breakfast and my husband
came after them and I gave his breakfast.
Sihle: “Mommy” he was crying. I picked him up and
wiped his tears.
Me: “Sorry boy. Does it hurt?” He nodded. I went to
bath him and dressed him in tracksuits too. We re
taking him to the doctor. We went back in and he
693 | P a g e
wanted eggs.
Samkelo: “Mommy have you seen this letter?”
Me: “Letter?”
Samkelo: “Yeah a letter from their school about trip St
Lucia?”
Me: “No I haven’t I haven’t and they are not going”
Sma & Juju: “Hawu mom!”
Samkelo: “Why?” frowned.
Me: “Because I'm the one who reminds them to do
their homework”
Sihle: “You not going!” he sticked his tongue out.
Juju: “Uyaphapha wena”
Me: “We need to go now boys” I went upstairs to take
my bag and phone.
Samkelo: “Which car boys?”
Really?
Sma & Juju: “Jeep Grand Cherokee”
Sihle: “Gusheshe”
We laughed at him. Samkelo took car keys and we
went out the house.
Samkelo: “Sihle you out voted so we are taking Jeep
Grand Cherokee” He is driving today.
Juju: “Our song Ntwana”
He drives out the gate.
Ngichom' kakhul ngemali encane ngigqoka idesign
awume 'kancane
I took his phone to take video of us singing and having
a great time. I love Okmalumkoolkat songs his rap lines
694 | P a g e
are different and Samkelo love this song too. So we are
singing Laliga Samkelo made Juju and Sma to like it and
Sihle joined the crew but the other lines are difficult for
him. We are dancing
in our seats and doing all those funny faces while
singing or rapping. When we got to Glenwood
Primary Juju and Sma get off and we took Sma to the
doctor and he gave him some antibiotics and we went
back home.
My phone rang as I entered inside the house he took
Sihle upstairs.
Me: “Hey mom”
Mom: “You don't want us anymore”
Me: “Hawu Mah”
Mom: “Where are you?”
Me: “I'm in my house Mah"
Mom: “Okay I'm coming” she hung up.
Me: “Babe!” I shouted.
Silence.
Me: “Babe!” I shouted again.
I went upstairs to check on them. I found them
sleeping in Sihle's bed. Sihle is in his father's chest
they are so cute I took a picture of them and headed
back to the kitchen. I wanted to tell him that my
mom is coming.
I can't understand her these days she suddenly has
money. I started to cook because I know she will give
me lecture for not cooking for my husband and all that
695 | P a g e
so after an hour and thirty minutes intercom...
I went to open the gate. She came inside the house
and she didn't knock.
Mom: “I taught you well right?” she was smiling.
She is carrying shopping bags. I went to help her with
them.
Mom: “Please go and get the other in my car”
Really? I went to the car.... Fuck! She is driving a beast!
I open the boot and take the mall and I went back
inside the house.
Me: “Mah you are driving a beast there I must say it
more than beautiful” Its black in colour with
a personalised number plate Mrs M-ZN I love it.
I went to take a juice and scones because food will be
ready in few minutes.
Mom: “Thanks child. Uphi umkhenyana?”
Me: “He is sleeping in Sihle's bed with Sihle”
Mom: “Why Sihle isn't at crèche?” she sipped her
juice.
Me: “Last night he had allergic reaction and we took
him to the hospital and today we took him to
the doctor but he is fine now and the swelling is better
than last night”
Mom: “I feel sorry for him shame but he'll be okay and
get used to the fact that chicken is not good for him”
Me: “How is my Grandmother?”
Mom: “She is fine sweetheart she is not at homes he
went to visit your Aunty”
696 | P a g e
I'm worried about her.
Me: “Mom can we please talk” calmly.
Mom: “About?” she sat back in the couch.
I saw Samkelo coming carrying Sihle in his arm. He was
rubbing his eyes and yawning.
Samkelo: “It’s smells nice here and I'm starving” in that
deep voice of his. He was shocked to see my mother.
Sihle: “Granny!!” he screamed. His father put him
down he came running to his granny.
Samkelo: “Sawubona Mah”
Mom: “How are mkhwenyana?”
Samkelo: “I'm good mah and how are you?”
Mom: “I'm good too” she flashes a smile.
I went to the lounge and took the shopping bags to the
guestroom here in downstairs because I know he will
cry and want to see what's inside and I don't want
that.
Sihle: “Granny did you bring my present?”
Me: “Lunch is ready” They came to table and we all ate
and Sihle was asking so many questions. After we ate I
went to load dishes in the dishwasher and I joined
them in the lounge.
Mom: “I need to talk to both of you” she said when I sit
next to Samkelo.
I couldn't read her face.
Me: “Sihle go to the playroom my boy” he got up and
he disappeared in the stairs.
Mom: “I planned the vacation to Paris in June but if I'm
697 | P a g e
alone I will be bored so I think of taking the kids with
me. We'll start to Disneyland and then go to the
destination”
Mom: “And I'm taking your Grandmother with me”
We both quiet.
Samkelo: “I think...What about school?”
Mom: “We will go during the school holidays and we
will come back before the schools opens” She planned
this right?
Samkelo: “I don't have problem with it”
I'm still quiet.
Mom: “Nompe?”
Me: “They don't have passports Mah”
Mom: “Please organise that for me”
Really?
Me: “Okay”
Mom: “Are you okay with it?”
Me: “If he is okay with it I'm okay too mom” I'm
confused about what she said.
Where is this money coming from? I wonder.
Samkelo looks at his wrist “I need to fetch them from
school”
Me: “Okay babe” he touched my hand. He doesn’t kiss
me in front of my mother and now I'm used to it. I
can't say they get along with each other but I'm glad
they sit in the same room. The was this time when we
were still I Cape Town when I was in the hospital after I
was discharged I found my mother with a serious face
698 | P a g e
when I entered in the kitchen and it was tensed and
when I came in he stormed out of the room. I don't
know what was happening even when I asked him he
dismissed me.
He went to take his car keys in the counter and left.
Sihle came running I think he heard a car driving out.
Me: “Mom where did you get money from?”
Mom: “I won a Lottery” she tickled Sihle.
Me: “Mom I'm serious” I frowned.
Mom: “I'm serious too and I can't wait to take my
grandkids with mine in a vacation. I only wish that your
father was here to see how grown you are right now”
she started to be emotional.
Me: “I know you miss him Mah and we all do” Her eyes
have tears
Me: “So you won't take you beautiful daughters with
you in a vacation?” I don't want her to cry.
Mom: “Nop I'm not. You have money and your
husband’s too so I'm taking my nunus nje”
Me: “We won't hear the end of it”
She laughs.
After an hour the boys were back and happy to see
their Granny. They ate and come to join us in
the lounge.
Sma: “Granny when are we visiting you?”
Mom: “Maybe December”
She always drags for the to visit because they are too
naught. Apparently Sihle burnt the curtain in
699 | P a g e
the lounge
Them: “December?”
Mom: “Yeah because in June we're going to
Disneyland” with warm smile.
They scream and start to jump up and down I know
they are happy I thought she will tell them around
May but no she decided to tell them now and its
February so they will talk about every day. Mah
told me to get those shopping bag I hid from Sihle. She
gave boys shopping bag.
Sma: “My Jordan sneakers!” Jumping up and down.
Juju: “Me too”
Sihle: “Yeey!”
She is spoiling them way too much. Their father has
sneakers collection of Jordan so now they are following
in his steps.
Me: “Thanks mom”
She bought them expensive clothes and sneakers and I
thank her for that but I still think it’s too much.
Me: “Kids I have to go now”
Them: “Already?”
Mom: “Yeah I'm going back home” she got up. I'm sad
that she is living already. We bid her farewell when we
all walk her out. She hugged us then got in her car and
kids were sad that she is leaving and drive out. We
went back to the house.
I started to cook and they helped me to prepare supper
and Sihle was playing games in my phone.
700 | P a g e
This kid is something else he knows my phone than
me.
Sma: “He is taking a video”
Sihle laughs.
Juju: “Chubby chubby”
Sihle: “Uyaphapha”
Me: “Sihle please put my phone down I want us to
talk” I took my phone in his hands he was really taking
a video I saved the video and put my phone down.
Samkelo is peeling potatoes.
Sma: “Mom Dad can I please enter in the Spelling Bee
competition?” I'm amazed.
Me: “You like to be a part of it?”
Sma: “Yes mom. Please”
Me: “Of course you can do my boy. Your father and I
we will support you okay?”
His father had a smile on his face. Sma was happy that
he is going to enter.
Me: “Juju how is swimming?”
Juju: “Its great mom but chess is difficult but Ntwana
said he will teach me chess but he didn't”
Me: “Daddy?” I looked at him.
He is not himself lately.
Samkelo: “Sorry ntwana we'll start tomorrow okay?”
He nodded.
Me: “Sma how is swimming?”
Sma: “It’s okay mom but I like Tennis”
Me: “Okay I will talk with your teacher”
701 | P a g e
I don't know if he can play Tennis but I'll see what I can
do.
Sihle: “I like to spin iGusheshe Mina”
We all laughed out.
Me: “You will not do that”
Sihle has this thug tendencies he likes dangerous thing
like climbing in things steals my phone to play games
and it worries me and Samkelo laugh sat it and say he
is just a kid.
After cooking we ate and went to sleep.
When I woke up at 03:15am he wasn't in bed I got up
and I went to the check him in the study went to the
boy’s bedroom they were sleeping so peaceful. I went
back to the bedroom to check if his phone was there
but it wasn't there. I took my phone and called him but
it rang twice and straight to voicemail. The key of Jeep
Cherokee is not in the keyholder and he is using it
these days so I went back to bed thinking where he
would be at this time. He left me in bed and went to
one of his hoes.
At 06:30am the alarm went off. I haven't cried since I
woke up. I was sad about what is happening I got up
and went to the kids up and prepared them for school.
I’m made breakfast for them and I'm getting worried
now about his whereabouts but his phone is still going
to voicemail.
Sihle: “Mom where is Ntwana?”
Me: “He went early today”
702 | P a g e
Sihle: “But when I was here I didn't see him leaving” He
is fine hence he is asking so many questions.
Me: “What are you on about Sihle?”
Sihle: “When I was eaten....”
He was eating. Eating what?
Me: “Eating what?”
Sihle: “I was eating ice cream” he closed his mouth
with his little hand.
Me: “You were stealing ice cream?”
Sihle: "Uhm Mom stealing is a big word. I was eating
ice cream”
This child is another thing I tell you he is stealing ice
cream and what amaze me is how he reached in the
fridge but maybe he was using a chair or something to
reach in the fridge because ice cream tub was in the
middle. The fridge is a double door fridge.
After eating I packed their lunchboxes in their
schoolbags. Today I'm wearing a skinny jean with
white
T-shirt and white all-star chuckle tail. We went to the
car and drove them to school and went to the club to
check in few things and go to the home affairs I knew
to make them.
Passports now because I have time.
I went to the office and Zane came to greet me and I'm
professional as usually I won't bring my family matters
to work. I called in for Zaba but I need to smoke first. I
do smoke when I'm stressed just to release stress and
703 | P a g e
calm down. When I went back to the office I found
Zaba standing in my office and again my chair was
moving as if he was seating on it of it moved when he
was looking for something.
Me: “I need you to up your game in creating new
cocktails”
Zaba: “I will Boss lady. I thought I lost my job” When I
look in his eyes he drops them I think its respect or
what.
Me: “No I need you here so please make sure about
creating new cocktail. That will be all”
He turns and go he closed the door behind him. I
locked the door and search for bugs but i didn't
find any. There's is something going on with him and
my office. I don't want to be suspicious now I
want fact. I took my phone and called Spikes.
Spikes: “Heita”
Me: “Heita”
Spikes: “I wanted to call you I need to get hold of SK”
Me: “I don't know where he is he was gone when I
woke up”
Spikes: “Eish okay. You need me to find him?”
Me: “Nop. Please find Smiso Ziqubu and I need to know
about Zaba Zikhali” I was looking at Zaba's CV.
Spikes: “Okay I'll come by”
Me: “I'm going to home affairs now after that I'm going
to meet Zee”
Spikes: “Okay. I'll see you later than”
704 | P a g e
Me: “Sure” I hung up.
I took my bag and phone and car keys when I was
talking to Zane I felt someone patting my shoulder.
Him: “Nompendulo”
Me: “Yes...” when I turned to look at him. I don't know
him.
Him: “I like you service here” he got so close and I
shifted.
Me: “Thanks for compliments I really appreciate it” I
faked a smile.
Him: “Can we grab few drinks with you?” he smiled.
I don't know him and he is in front of me talking and
I'm so pissed about this lousy conversation.
Me: “I'm sorry to disappoint but I'm rushing
somewhere”
“Is there a problem here?” that was Ta Kat.
Zaba dropped the glass and he is behind the counter.
His eyes were all out.
Kat: “Sorry bra please move from her”
Him: “Sorry bra I'm not talking to you I'm talking to her
so please”
Zaba was standing like a statue. Kat laughed and
suddenly his smile disappeared so quick.
Kat: “Listen to me so carefully because I won't repeat
myself to you don't you ever talk to me like
that because next time I'll fuck you up” he said with a
creepy voice and if look scan kill he would be dead by
now.
705 | P a g e
This guy laughed. Jesus!
Him: “Is she your wife? If not so please!”
Kat moved closely to him and now they are looking at
each other like they're about to start a fight.
This guy must book a bed in hospital because midnight
he will need it!
Me: “¡Nole paresbola!(I gnore him!")” to Kat. He is
fuming but he let him go and luckily this guy left.
Me: “Give me two Scotch with no ice” to Zaba.
He is still frozen.
Me: “Hey!” I banged the table.
We sit on bar stool in front of him.
Zaba: “Yes. Boss. Boss lady” he stuttered. He is
sweating
Me: “Give me two Scotch”
He is clumsy suddenly.
Kat look at him.
Kat: “Is it coming or not?” he asked Zaba.
The glass slip in his hands.
Zane: “Coming right up Boss lady”
He gave us and we gulped it the time he gave it to us.
Zaba storms out.
Kat: “I've been trying to reach Samkelo but his phone is
on voicemail”
Me: “I don't know where he is”
Kat: “When did you last saw him?”
Me: “Last night when I woke up at 03:15am he wasn't
there and I tried to call him but I didn't get hold of him”
706 | P a g e
Kat: “Trace him now”
I got up from the chair and we went to my office and
he sat in the couch. After 10 minutes found
his location.
Me: “His phone location is in Umhlanga at Element
Café Bar”
Kat: “He was supposed to handle the shipment. Spiro
handled everything”
Me: “I don't know what is wrong with him and I won't
entertain him”
He took his phone and make a call.
Kat: “He is at Element Café Barso in an hour I want him
in his house” he hung up after saying that.

Chapter 40

He stood up and went to the door.

Kat: “In an hour I need you to your house” he left after
saying those words.
There's no need to go to home affairs now because I
won't be done in an hour. I called Zee to cancel
our lunch and she was fine with it. I went home Kat
and Spikes were already there.
Me: “It's look like he is not com...”
Oh the Prince is here! He greeted his brother got up
and made his way to him. A hot slap landed on
707 | P a g e
Samkelo's face. Our eyes were all out. The thing about
Kat is that you won't see even when he is angry.
It’s the first time I see this....
Silence.
Kat: “I won't call for you and come at your own time
when you know you messed up. Don't make me
remind you who I am. Okay?” he was looking at him.
Samkelo: “Hade Grootman”
I went to take there freshments in the kitchen.
Kat: “Thanks Nompe” I nodded.
Kat: “You were supposed to handle the shipment but
you weren't there. Why?”
Samkelo: “Hade Grootman it won't happened again”
Kat: “Water under the bridge but repeat that shit again
I will fuck you up”
Samkelo look down.
Silence.
Me: “Spikes do you have anything for me?”
Samkelo: “Babe I'm so...” he was looking at me.
Me: “Spikes” I indicated that he can talk.
Samkelo: “Babe please can we talk? Please please” he
is pleading.
Me: “You want to talk now? I'm asking you questions
and you answer me”
He is quiet.
Kat: “Let's give them space”
Me: “Please don't” They remained in their seats.
Me: “Who is she?” calmly.
708 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Babe there's....”
Me: “I don't want any explanation Samkelo just answer
me” He looks down on his feet and his jaw tightens.
Samkelo: “Buhle” he said after a long time.
Me: “For how long?” This can't be happening again.
It’s like there's both of us here but we not others are
quiet.
Samkelo: “It’s been a week and couple of days” He is
not looking at me.
Me: “Did you use protection?” I hate to ask this
question but I had to.
Samkelo: “Babe I promise you I didn't sleep with her”
He says it's been a week seeing that hoe...A week?
Week and couple of days?
Me: “Wait it’s been a week?” This can't be a
coincidence.
He nods.
Me: “Spikes what do you have for me?” I need to
confirm my suspicions here.
Spikes: “I found Smiso he is in Umlazi and I know his
house. Zaba Zikhali is a fake name he is Vukani
Khumbuza he is working for Nyathikazi's wife to spy on
you”
Us: “What?”
Me: “From the first day I saw him he was...I couldn't
read him. So this explains why my chair was moving
when I found him twice in my office”
Silence.
709 | P a g e
Me: “Ta Kat did you noticed early on in the club when
he saw you?”
He gave me a frown.
Me: “He dropped the glass that was in his hands and
he froze after that he dropped another glass”
Kat: “I saw that but it’s just that I was angry”
Me: “I have a new enemy in town who is trying to ruin
my marriage. Axes will come flying” I say getting up to
take my laptop from the study.
Talking about enemies I heard that K.G is overseas I
think we was running after he saw that Ta Kat can
make him to meet his ancestors.
Me: “Samkelo I need to trace this Buhle” I'm fuming
but I need to keep my cool. He gave me number only
to find that number is a burner phone its untraceable.
Spiro went to fetch kids from school.
Kat: “Oh I almost forgot the best son is in town and
Mah wants usto have dinner tonight at Umhlanga”
We call him the “best” son because MaNdlovu always
praise him. He is such a snob but to be honest the first
three look like snobs but when you get to know them
they're fine. My friends say Samkelo is not friendly but
to me he is so smiling and talking all madness I think its
power of the pussy!
Kat: “I need you to keep an eye on every move she
makes and Nompe please find what happened
with this Smiso guy and then we'll plan our way
forward”
710 | P a g e
I heard noise approaching I know my boys are here to
eat everything they find.
Sihle: “Haaah I kissed her today”
Spiro: “Haah Ntwana shayala”
Gents here in the lounge broke into laughter.
Me: “Sihlelelwe Avumile Khumalo come here now!” I
screamed. A 4-year-old talking about kissing a girl. This
kid! He came to stand in front of me in the couch I was
sitting on. Kat was in stitches.
Me: “You are kissing girls now?” I can't believe I'm
having this conversation with him.
Sihle: “Ntwana kiss you nje”
Kodwa kumele ngiyenzeni?
Me: “Your dad is way older than you and we are
married so we are allowed to kiss each other”
Sihle: “I have to marry her then” he frowned.
They all broke into laughter.
Me: “Don't you ever kiss her again okay?”
Sihle: “Ntwana will stop kissing you?” he gave me a
smile-frown.
Me: “Samkelo please talk to him”
Spikes: “Nompe you have another son here” after
catching his breath from laughing.
Spiro: “Eihe was telling me about this girl from his
school all the way here”
Kat: “I saw the video of your guys in the car singing
Laliga from Nomxo”
Spikes: “I saw it too and it nice I must say”
711 | P a g e
Kat: “Let's make a challenge then”
Samkelo: “Against our families?”
Kat: “Yeah just for fun maybe next week Saturday”
Me: “Bring it on!” I clapped one.
After a while they left and I told boys about the dinner
at their Granny's house in Umhlanga they were happy
and they have packed their clothes because there are
spending weekend there and it cool because we going
to Jo'burg on Saturday so it working for us. At 18:00pm
we left for Umhlanga. My head and shoulders cover as
usual when I'm here. I'm wearing a cream
Blouse and navy floral skirt with Burberry wedge
pumps. Samkelo was wearing Jean and white shirt and
black all-star Chuck tail. We are not on speaking terms
but we must speak to each because of his parents not
asking too many questions.
Juju touched the buzzer in the door.
Mthokozisi came to open for us.
Mthoko: “Good evening”
Sihle: “Who are you?” We came in.
Mthoko smiles.
Mthoko: “I'm your uncle” he smiled.
Sihle: “You are my uncle? Why I don't know you?”
Me: “Sihle don't be rude to your elders”
We made our way to the lounge and they went to put
they schoolbags and their bags in their rooms.
Me: “Sawubona baba” I greeted when we enter in the
lounge.
712 | P a g e
Mntungwa: “How are you mntanani?”
Me: “Ngiyaphila baba ngingezwa kubaba” I bowed my
head to show respect. This old man still has style just
like his sons looking at what he is wearing. His sons
also got his deep voice.
MaNdlovu came and I greeted her too...
Juju Sma & Sihle: “Mkhulu!!” screamed. They ran to
him and hugged him at the same time.
Mntungwa: “Haah boys how are you?”
Juju Sma & Sihle: “I'm good mkhulu”
Kat came in with Nomxo and Uyi (Uyizwile) and he was
happy to see his cousin but happier to see Sihle his
partner in crime eating everything they find and
climbing in everything they find. The last time
they were here they painted a white carpet in the
lounge with red paint andc i had to apologise for that.
Sihle: “You're ugly like MaKhumalo” to Mthoko. They
all laughed.
Me: “Sihlelelwe I'll beat your ass now” I don't like his
behaviour.
Samkelo: “Let him do that to him. They don't know
him. He is like a stranger to them”
Kat: “He deserves it”
Sihle: “If you are my uncle where is my gift then?”
Hawu kodwa lengane! He chuckled
Mthoko: “I didn't know you”
Sihle: “Okay I want Xbox for now”
Sma: “Tennis kit”
713 | P a g e
Juju: “Mhm let me think...Uhm a Laptop or take me to
snake park”
Uyi: “Lots of candy and soccer boots I saw in the mall”
Mntungwa was laughing and Kat joined in. These kids
are something else!
Amahle: “I want lipstick and high heels”
Oh lord! The diva is here Thee princess! Mthoko was
laughing and I thought he will be angry but he is not.
Lwandile and Rachel came after the diva of this house.
We all moved to the dining area.
Sihle: “Mkhulu you didn't tell me that you have a kid
and I hope he is not sleeping in my room”
Kat Samkelo and Lwandile enjoyed this and I wasn't.
Lwandile: “I have gifts for you boys”
He was supposed to say this after eating so they won't
eat looking at what he is about to give them.
He gave each of them a gift bag.
Juju: “Yeey!”
It a black leather jacket with his name on the back and
the others did that do its was leather jacket too with
their names on them. They went to him and fist bumb
him. They thank and I also did.
Uyi: “You see what uncles do their Shanas” His dad
laughed.
The food came and we ate luckily MaNdlovu has maids
here so I will not do the dishes.
Juju: “Mkhulu there's a snake here”
Mthoko: “What??” Mthoko was standing in the chair
714 | P a g e
he was sitting at. His eyes were all out.
Mntungwa: “Go and take it my boy” Juju got up and he
went toward the big mirror and he moved it and take
the snake. It a green snake with black spots on its
back.
Mntungwa told us that snake won't harm Juju he has a
special connection with them even the Sangoma
confirmed that but still I can't accept that because
snake is a snake and he is just a child and
I'm concern as a mother. When I wanted to go to
consult Isangoma my parents told me that there's no
need for that because Mntungwa already went there
and performed a little ritual for it and I ended up not
going to Isangoma.
He came to sit brushing its head. Sma Uyi and Sihle
used to cry when they saw him with carrying a snake
but they don't cry now but I see fear in their eyes.
Mntungwa & Juju: “Mzilikazi ka Mashobane” We are
looking at them now.
Juju: “Let me free him mkhulu” he got up exit the
house through a sliding door and he came back alone I
think he let it go.
Uyi: “Why are you standing in the chair?”
Mthoko got down to the chair and take as it is
breathing fast.
Mntungwa: “If you always here you would've known
that Juju has a special connection with snakes like
Mzilikazi and we are getting used to it because it won't
715 | P a g e
harm him” he was looking at Mthoko.
Silence.
Sihle: “Mkhulu I hope he is not sleeping in my bedroom
because...” he raised his hand.
Mthoko: “Because?”
Sihle: “Kuzo simbakala” he was making silly frown on
his face to Mthoko.
Silence.
We all cracked out laughing even Mthoko was laughing
at what Sihle just said to him. I wonder why he
intimidated by Mthoko because he is way too old to
him.
Mntungwa: “He won't sleep in your room my boy”
Mntungwa say after laughing so hard.
Me: “Sihle respect your uncle don't be rude”
Sihle: “Or what?” Jehova ungishiyela nina??
Me: “Kuzo simbakala” They laughed.
Mntungwa: “Samkelo I'm glad you got your younger
version in Sihle”
Mntungwa told us that when Samkelo was growing up
and we were laughing and I'm not surprised that Sihle
just turned out like his father. At 22:00pm we left after
tucking them in their beds and kissed them goodnight.
We went to our house.
I went to take off my clothes and I was left with panty
and bra I went to take my cigarettes in my drawer and
went to the balcony and I started to smoke. It helps me
to calm down and think things through.
716 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Can I join you?”
I didn't talk but I raised my hand for him to stop talking
and he must not join me. I heard his footsteps fading
away. Good boy. I went back when I was done.
Me: “I hope our bikes are ready for tomorrow” when I
see him sitting on the bed.
Samkelo: “They are ready and they are at Copperleaf
as we speak”
Me: “Thanks” I went to the bathroom to take a
shower.
He is here I feel his presence. I continue to fill my body
with a foam of a soap in silence.
Samkelo: “Please shoot me or kill me if it will help you
to take away your anger towards me”
I continue with what I'm doing but my hands are
shaking out of anger.
Samkelo: “Babe I know sometimes I behaviour like a
jerk but I love only you and I'm sorry for leaving you in
bed in the ewe hours for some bitch”
He is standing behind so close to me. I bent to wash my
feet my ass was on his manhood. I took my time to
wash my feet's.
He clears his throat.
Me: “Please move” I was still bending.
He opens the shower tap waterfall on me.
Me: “Yini? You're disturbing me” out of anger. He kept
quiet. He turned me to face him.
Samkelo: “I don't like to see you angry”
717 | P a g e
Me: “You don't want to see me angry? Really? You left
me at 03:15 in the morning to go to one of your hoes
so you tell me you don't want to see me angry. Are you
being real now?” I shouted.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry for doing that to you...”
Me: “You sorry? Sorry for what exactly? What if it was
a plan to get you out of the house for them to kill me
and the kids in our sleep?” My eyes were filled with
tears.
He doesn’t have an answer!
Me: “You promised to take care of me and of course
our children but when you have a bitch you tend to
forget us and I must take your responsibility to protect
myself and my kids while I have a husband
a father of my children” my voice was breaking. Tears
came uncontrollable.
He hugged me so tightly and I didn't fight him.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm so sorry...”
Me: “Do you know how worried I was not knowing
where you are are safe or what” I broke down and we
both sat down.
He opened the warm water on us.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry to worry it'll will never
happen babe”
My head is in his chest and his head over mine and he
was rocking me to calm down.
Me: “I told you to speak to me no matter how bad that
thing is but you don't you decide on taking decisions
718 | P a g e
without thinking about us and our safety” I'm calm
now.
He closed the shower tap and went out of the shower
and I stood up. He came and picked me up and placed
me to the bed there was a big towel he dried both of
us. He sits next to me and he is quiet I know him there
is something bothering him.
Me: “Is there something you need to tell me?”
Samkelo: “Please don't be mad” he was looking at me.
Me: “Say it”
Samkelo: “I bought. her... an apartment...” he was still
looking at me.
Me: “You did what? With our money? Are you being
serious now?” I felt like I'm losing my mind.
I stretch my hand to get my gun I need to teach him a
lesson I can't have kids then have a big kid like him. I
found and then I corked it...
Samkelo: “I took the bullets out” he said calmly.
Me: “Because? Samkelo!”
Samkelo: “I can't die now and leave my kids”
I roughly scratch my head and I was so angry at him
that he used our money to buy his bitch an apartment.
Apartment!?
Samkelo: “Please let me explain” he tried to touch my
hands.
Me: “Don't touch me. Explain!” I shouted.
Samkelo: “I bought it for her but it's on my name. I
gave her fake papers saying that it belongs to her but
719 | P a g e
it’s don't”
I didn't know what to say on him. I tried to sleep but I
kept tossing and turning all night. In the morning I
woke up and he wasn't on bed I went to the bathroom
to make my daily routine and made my way to the
kitchen I found him wearing apron making breakfast.
Samkelo: “Morning my love. I made you breakfast” he
smiled.
Me: “Morning” I sat on the highchair.
He finished and we ate in silence. We prepared
ourselves for our trip and we use private jet. I called
Zane to check how are the things there and he said
everything I under control. The plan is to make myself
scarce in the club for Zaba to make his next move.
At 07:45am we were ready to go and Kat and Nomxo
picked us up and we flew to Joburg. I need to see my
friends and Thabi is in Joburg she came with Andile
yesterday. I called her and she said they are at Nontu's
house.
Me: “I'm going to see my sister and friends”
Samkelo: “Okay babe can we please talk first?” he
looked at me.
We went to the master bedroom. We are using our
house in Pretoria Centurion Copperleaf Estate. I love
this house but its glassy and having troublesome boys
its risky.
He closed the door and grab me by my waist and we
are breathing the same air now.
720 | P a g e
Me: “You said you...”
He smashed his lips against mine and the kiss is deep.
Our clothes came flying across the room he picked me
up and my legs were wrapped around his waist. I
wanted him so bad inside the kiss was tense and little
bit rough he threw me in the bed and got top of me
and the rest history.
Samkelo: “That was so out of this world” he laid next to
me.
I smiled.
Me: “I need to take a shower” I was trying to get up
and he wrapped his arms around me so tightly.
Samkelo: “I love you” he kissed the top of my head.
Me: “I love you too even though sometimes you drive
me crazy like you kids” I smiled.
Samkelo: “I'm sorry” he has puppy eyes and he is cute.
Me: “Who are we chopping today?” He laughs.
Samkelo: “Who do you want us to chop?”
Me: “Your side chick”
Samkelo: “We'll chop her when we go back to Durban”
We both laughed out!
I went to the bathroom took a quick shower. I took
maroon bandage short dress with cream high heels
and Louis Vuitton bag. I had a weave on. When I was
about to exit my bedroom my phone rang.
Nokwe: “Friend where are you?”
Me: “I'm leaving my house now”
Nokwe: “Okay. Please come alone to Nontu's house”
721 | P a g e
Why she says I must come alone? Are they being held
hostage?
Me: “Okay...... I'm coming” My thoughts were running
in my head.
I went to take five full loaded guns on my closet and I
went to the lounge. TK and Sakhi are here playing
games.
Me: “Bye babe” I pecked his lips. I went to my car
started the engine and I drove off.
I drove to Nontu's house when I got there I remained in
the car and corked my guns in case things don't go well
inside this big and beautiful house. I stepped out of the
car and made my way to the door and I pressed the
buzzer. Nontu came to open for me.
Nontu: “Mtase” she hugged me so tightly.
Me: “Hey”
We made our way to the lounge and I found Thabi and
Nokwe drinking wine.
Me: “You bitch!” I shouted and sat on the couch.
Nokwe: “We've been waiting for you while you were
busy fucking you man”
Me: “Nxaa suka I'm here now. Aren't I?”
Nokwe: “What are you doing on this side friend?”
Me: “To do few things babe” Nontu gave me a glass
and I poured for myself.
Me: “Speak up why you said I must come alone?”
"I need you to do me a huge favour"-Nokwe
"Okay..."-I'm not sure about this....
722 | P a g e
Nokwe: "I need you to hack in Sakhi's personal
account"
My eyes were all out!
Me: "Why?"
Nokwe: "Because you studied IT friend"-she say.
Me: "Nontu why your I can't access WiFi here?"
Nontu: "We changed the pin. Pass your phone so I can
punch the password"-she say taking my phone. I got up
from the couch and I went to the bathroom. When I
came back from the bathroom I heard footsteps and I
found them the way they were when I went to the
bathroom.
Nontu: "Everything is fine now" she hands my phone
back to me. She ordered food.
Nontu: “So I heard footsteps and I found them the way
they were when I went to the bathroom.
Nontu: "Everything is fine now" she hands my phone
back to me. She ordered food.
Nontu: “So I spoke to mom to take Mili with her on her
vacation”
Me: “Eish I forgot about Mili but I'm glad that she is
going with them”
Thabi: “We need to plan a holiday as couples since the
kids will be away for 3 weeks”
Nokwe: “That's true actually I start to plan it right
away”
Me: “I'll have to buy so many mornings after pills”
We all laughed out.
723 | P a g e
Nontu: “Where is Zee?”
Nontu: “She isn't coming”
Thabi: “MaNgema is also joining them”
Thabi: “MaNdlovu too”
After eating I help her for dishes at 19:00am I left. In
my house I found the guys eating.
TK: “How is my wife?”
Me: “She is fine. Let me call her” I took my phone and
dialled her number and put a phone on loudspeaker.
Nontu: “Mtaka mah”
Me: “Hey mtase I'm at home now” There are
somethings that sounds of a hiccup as I'm speaking to
her.
Nontu: “I'm glad to hear that” I hear voices in the
background.
Me: “Have a goodnight ke mtase” she said the same to
me and hung up.
Why my phone has hiccups? Or it was loudspeaker? I
don't know.
My phone rang.
Me: “Nomxo”
Nomxo: “I just wanted to check up on you and ask that
will you put on your weave?”
Me: “Sibangena ngo 24inch today sweetheart” I
laughed. We spoke for a while then hung up.
Me: “Babe I think I need another phone this one is
starting to give me problems”
Samkelo: “Haah babe it can't be I bought that phone
724 | P a g e
two months ago and now it is giving you problems.
Maybe Sihle dunked it in water nje” his face was
serious. Thokozani laughed at him.
That child!
Me: “But babe it was fine when we got here. In fact it
started this thing now” My Sihle didn't do it. He gave
me a confused look and Thokozani too.
Sakhi: “Haah Gazi just buy another phone”
Samkelo: “Haaah!”
Clearly it wasn't Sihle so what is because it was bought
last two months so it can't be giving
me problems...Or...
Thokozani was quiet.
Me: “Do you think what I'm thinking right now?”
Samkelo and Sakhi looked at each other.
TK: “I don't know but I'm suspicious” he is thinking
hard.
I went and took my laptop.
Samkelo: “Sweetheart Thabi called you and I told her
that you'll call her back. Your speaker has a problem
really”
Me: “I think there's a bug planted in my phone it can't
just give me problems within a second”
Thokozani was awfully quiet.
TK: “The WiFi password was changed last week and she
been going out to meet with Nokwe”
Me: “The same password punch by your wife in my
phone and after that I started to experience
725 | P a g e
this uncomfortable sound in my phone's speaker?”
Samkelo: “Wait so you think Nontu planted a bug in
your phone because she wanted to know who you're
talking to and what you are saying?”
TK: “She can't be doing this alone. She has the IT guy or
lady who is working for her”
Me: “She is not alone in this. When I was about to
leave to meet them Nokwe called and told me that
I must come alone and there's was nothing suspicious
there and I brushed it off. Nokwe asked me to hack
into her husband accounts but I refused”
Sakhi: “They're up to something and it is serious. She's
been acting weird this days’”
I opened my laptop I wanted to check and everything
was fine and I found the bug in my phone.
Spikes was noticed with that. I took that bug off my
phone and I didn't ask them about it. At 21:49pm we
all went with our bikes when we got there we find
others playing.
Me: “I think I'm ready to twerk for my husband now”
The guys laughed.
Kat: “I think that will happen because other gangs will
be here”
Us: “What?” He laughed so hard.
Kat: “You could've seen you face guys”
Sakhi: “Haaah Ta”
Machete: “After this I'll organise few pussies for all
guys here”
726 | P a g e
Me: “I'm sure you covered” All guys laughed out loud.
Never trust a man when it's come to silly things.
No ring can hold him back or love or nice food or sex
he will still do.
At 22:00pm the race started the lady vs lady guy vs guy
lady vs guy couple vs couple. I got the 1st placed on
lady vs guy and Samkelo got the first-place guy vs guy
on couples we got the 2nd place. Kat and Nomxo got
the first place. After the races we ate and had few
drinks then we went back home. I
went to take a shower quickly I locked the door I didn't
want him to join me he will ruin my plans when
I got out he frowned and I didn't pay attention to that.
I wore my silk gown and he went in the shower and I
quickly took my black sexy lace patch work bra and
matching underwear and I exited our room.
I went to take his whiskey my wine cigars ice and
glasses. I went to put in lounge where we'll have our
date. I heard his footsteps coming towards the lounge I
stood up.
Him: “Mam'Khumalo what are you up to here?” he
smirked. He was wearing a white boxer.
Me: “Please come to this side” I stretched my hand for
him to come.
Me: “I want us to get wasted here tonight!”
Him: “While you're wearing like this? That will be
torture babe” he looked at me.
Me: “Mr Khumalo please hold your horses. We'll drink
727 | P a g e
together I'll twerk for you anything can happen
but I want us to be wasted just two of us”
Him: “I'm game babe!” he poured whiskey for both of
us. After that he went to the kitchen I think he came
back with shooters and lemons.
Me: “Ncooah I forgot it babe”
Him: “That's why you have a loving husband” he
smiled. We drank shooters lit my cigarettes
we smoked. When I was tipsy I connected my phone to
the system and played. Simple things by Miguel
Future and Chris Brown. The volume was low I wanted
to hear him laughing and his sexy dirty comments.
Him: “Mhm babe I'm have fun!” I smiled and made my
way to him. We took wash down which was
Dentyne. He was sitting on the couch I made my way
on him I stood in front of him and started to move my
ass in front of his face. He giggled. When I turned to
look at him he was sipping his drink. I went to change
the song and I put We Found Love by Rihanna ft Calvin
Harris. I went back on the
position I was in started twerking in front of him after
he gently grabbed me he made me to sit on his laps my
ass on his manhood and he sat back. I moved my ass to
the rhythm of the song and it made his shaft to harden
poking my ass.
Him: “Ungenzani kodwa (What are you doing to me)?”
he whispered on my ears. His voice turned me on even
more.
728 | P a g e
I giggled. I turned to look at him and I kissed him. His
breath mixed with whiskey turns me on.
Me: “I'm yours all of me”
Him: “I'm yours too” I took his glass in his hand and put
them in the coffee table. I went back to his mouth and
I kissed him for dear life after that we took off our
underwears and we had a great session and we passed
out in the couch.
I was woken by a kiss.
Him: “You're awake” My head was killing me. He gave
me water and some smoothie and it tasted so bad. I
was in our bedroom I went to the bathroom to wash
my teeth and rinsed it with mouth wash.
When I was done he came in and we both took a
shower we had as tea my sex in the shower and we
finished to bath and we want back to the bedroom we
had another countless round in our room.
I was woken by a sound of laughing voices I took my
phone to check the time it was 10:01am I his robe and
went to the kitchen. He was with his brother and
friends.
Me: “Heita gents” I was yawning going to the kitchen.
My husband didn't wake me up and he is eating with
his friends. He is wearing a skinny jean and vintage
short sleeve shirt and it was half buttoned showing his
boys name's at too on his chest with a gold chain with
diamonds. I bought it for him on our second
anniversary.
729 | P a g e
Spider: “No wonder you tired just look at your weave”
Gents laughed at me.
Me: “Voetsek!” They laughed again. My husband came
to me in the kitchen. He kissed me and I heard his
breathing changed I pulled out.
Him: “I miss the things you did to me last night” he
pulled me close to him. His hands squeezing my ass.
Me: “You had enough babe”
Him: “I can't get enough of you. I can chase them away
babe. Please” he smirked.
Spider & Spikes: “Chase us? Ayisindawo!”
We both laughed. They took glasses and went back to
the lounge.
Gents: “Asiyindawo!”
I went to take a shower. I wore a black legging and
navy t-shirt combed my short air and
Samkelo's sleepers. I went to join them our bags are
packed already.
Sakhi: “Have you checked the video Lwandile posted
on WhatsApp?”
Me: “Nop I haven't” He gave me his phone. The video
was showing Juju playing with a big snake but not big
like a python. I was sad after seeing that video. I took
my phone and called Lwandile.
Lwandile: “Sis Nompe”
Me: “How are you?”
Lwandile: “I'm good and Juju is also fine”
Me: “I'm worried Lwandile”
730 | P a g e
Lwandile: “He's fine MaNdlovu checked him”
Me: “Okay thanks. Where is the troublemaker?”
Lwandile laughed.
Lwandile: “He is ordering Mthoko around and dad is
amused by that”
Me: “I'll call you later” I ended the call.
At 11:30 am we flew to Durban. We started at
Umhlanga to fetch kids when we got there.
Uyi: “Give me ice cream first then I'll eat sandwich
later”
Sihle: “No give me sandwich and ice cream”
Amahle: “I want juice!”
Me: “Kids” I was behind them.
Sma came to hug me. Juju came after that while Sihle
was asking million questions.
Me: “Sihle how are you my boy?”
Sihle: “I'm good thanks and how are you?” I'm not
mom now.
Me: “I'm good too”
Sihle: “I want to be a doctor now” I looked at Mthoko.
Me: “Okay my boy. Go and take your bags” They all
exit kitchen.
Me: “I'm sorry for Sihle's bad behaviour”
Mthoko: “Don't apologise I understand”
Me: “Thanks for whatever you did to him wanting to be
a doctor” Mthoko laughed.
Mthoko: “He's so smart it’s just that he has so much
energy” Samkelo entered in the kitchen he greeted his
731 | P a g e
brother and poured juice for himself.
Samkelo: “Thanks for presents you bought for them”
Mthoko: “I'll never take Sihle for shopping anymore”
Kat: “Haaah that one can want all the mall I’m telling
you”
Samkelo: “Haah kodwa Uyi has skills to smooth talk
you to get what's he wants”
Kat: “These kids” he laughed.
Sihle came wearing new Nike sneakers with his leather
jacket that Lwandile bought for him.
Sihle: “Mom what is missing here is the motorbike
helmet” I shook my head.
Me: “Let's go and say goodbye to Gogo and Mkhulu” I
took his hand and went to the lounge. We thank them
for and we bid goodbye and went home. I ordered
pizza while they were playing tv games. After the pizza
was delivered I took them to the lounge and juices. We
ate and play the PlayStation with
them and I bet them. I cooked super and my husband
helped me we Samkelo and the boys put everything in
the table. We all sat down in the table Sihle blessed the
food and we ate. After eating they went to take a
shower and we went to tuck them in their beds and
switched off the light. We took an innocent shower
and went straight to bed I placed my head on his chest.
He brushed my shoulder.
Him: “I know I don't say this usually but to be gangster
with your wife is great. Doing missions and killings
732 | P a g e
together is like we own the world”
Me: “And you so super sexy on our missions” He
laughed. We spoke and I was feeling sleepy. We
both doze off.
In the morning I went to wake the boys up to prepare
for school. Today I'm starting to prepare Sma for
Spelling bee. Next week Friday in my club Felicia
Nyathikazi's wife and her fools planned a robbery in my
club so this while week I'll be in the club and the
money I make there I'll not take it to the bank that is
part of our plan.
I went back to bedroom to wake him up.

Chapter 41

Him: "Mh Mh I'm not going to work today” he turned

his head to the opposite direction.
Me: “Please wake up” I shook him. He snored. I
laughed.
Me: “Pretending as if you asleep won't help you with
anything please wake up and prepare to go to
work” I took a duvet.
Him: “Hayi Hayi!” he got up and went to bathroom.
I went to assist boys with their uniform. The
troublemaker was jumping in his bed naked.
Me: “What are you chewing Sihle?”
733 | P a g e
Sihle: “Nothing!”
Sma: “He is chewing candy”
Me: “Juju go and take your father's belt in my room”
Sihle laughed.
Me: “Yeyii wena get off from the bed now!” He got off.
I went to the bathroom with him bath him
after that I dressed him. I went to kitchen to make
breakfast boys are here and Samkelo is supposed
to come down but he hasn't. When I was done making
breakfast I went to check up on him. He was
sleeping in the bathroom.
Me: “Babe” I shook him he jumped.
Me: “You supposed to be eating your breakfast now
but you here sleeping in the bathroom”
Him: “I'm tired babe I just wanna sleep the whole
day”he closed his eyes.
I went to check upon boys and they're done eating.
When I went back to the bedroom to take bag
and phone I found him sleeping. I took Jeep Cherokee
keys I packed their lunchboxes and we went
off . When I drove off the main gates in the Estate I saw
the black car packed on the other side of car.
My phone rang.
Spikes: “There's black car following you and I'm
watching your back”
Me: “Thanks dude” he hung up and I drove fast
Juju: “Mom! You're speeding”
Me: “Relax boys Mom is in a hurry today”
734 | P a g e
They think they're following my husband. I drove
straight to Glenwood Primary today Sihle is not going
to crèche I'm taking him with me. I quickly took my
phone and called Samkelo.
Me: “Khumalo I took your Jeep Cherokee and there's
someone following me they think it you”
When I was taking a corner I heard gunshots and I
drove fast unfortunately the robot was red I heard
scratching tyres......

Khuluma dlozi elingubaba khuluma dlozi
Where am I? Izangoma? Why am I here and why I'm
this dirty? When I turned my head Sihle was laying
there like he is lifeless. I went to him took him into my
arms.............
“Babe! Nurse!” When I scanned the room I'm in
hospital. The nurse came to check upon me.
Me: “Why I'm here? Samkelo my baby....Where is my
baby? Sihle!Si...hle....” the machine beeped.
When I woke up his head bowing head on the bed I
was in.
Me: “Babe” I touched his head softly.
Him: “Are you okay? Let me call the nurse for you
babe” he got up and the nurse came after him. The
nurse checked me and the doctor came in few minutes
later to check me. My leg was covered in that
thing and I don't know it name.
Doctor: “Mrs Khumalo please don't stress yourself it’s
735 | P a g e
not good for you and....”
Samkelo: “Thanks doc” The doctor and nurse went
out.
Me: “Samkelo where is my baby”
Him: “Babe please calm down. Sihle is doing okay”
Me: “Doing okay? Where is him?” I tried to sit up but
pains held me back.
"Sweetheart please don't stress yourself. The time you
had an accident you were with Sihle He was
hurt arm and leg had that like on my leg but now he is
a wake and doing fine"-his jaw tightened. Tears
came streaming inmy cheeks. He got up and came near
me he wiped my tears and kissed my forehead.
Me: “How long I've been here? I need to see my kids”
Him: “7 days my love. Okay babe I'll call them now” he
went out. My parents got in with my sister and
my boys. Juju and Sma ran to me. They kissed my
cheeks. I was happy to see them.
Juju: “Mom are you okay?”
Sma: “I was worried about you mom. Are you okay?
Does it hurt?”
Samkelo: “Boys please don't ask too many questions”
My mom and Grandma kissed my cheek and my sister
did that too. We spoke and they were cracking
jokes but my ribs hurt when I tried to laugh. Juju told
me about school and Sma told me that Lwandile
is helping him about spelling words.
Me: “There's a strange dream I dreamt” The door
736 | P a g e
swung open and my friends came in with fruits and
flowers.
I spent the visiting hours with them after an hour they
all went out Samkelo came to sit in the chair
he was sitting in.
Him: “Babe I'm glad you're awake now” he brushed my
hand.
Me: “Who is behind the accident?”
Him: “Babe don't stress about that. You need to rest”
Me: “I need to know who hurt me and my boy?” my
voice is little bit up now.
Him: “We'll focus on getting you and Sihle fine then
we'll deal with this together. I promise you that
Axes will be flying that day”
Me: “Okay. I need to see my baby I need to see him”
Him: “He'll be happy to see you babe I'll go and get the
nurse” he went and came back with the nurse. I was
taken to his ward. He was watching cartoons. I'm heart
broke when I saw my energetic baby sleeping because
he is forced to or he'll hurt himself.
Me: “My boy” my voice was trembling.
Sihle: “Mommy!” he screamed.
Me: “How are you feeling now?”
Sihle: “You don't love me anymore” he frowned. Tears
came flooding. Hearing him saying those words
broke my heart.
Me: “Sihlelelwe mommy loves you okay?(he nodded).
I'm here in the hospital like you baby I asked
737 | P a g e
the nurse to take me here to see you because I love
and miss you” I wiped my tears quickly before he
sees them.
Sihle: “I love you too mommy” he smiled. I'm happy to
see him smiling. I brushed his head and he
giggled. After I went back to my ward. We both have
bodyguards in our wards.
After 4 days we were discharged from the hospital.
Sihle was using the guestroom in downstairs and
me too so Samkelo moved me with. MaNdlovu took
Sihle after three days we were discharged from
hospital and my parents went back home. Sihle was
worried about their trip but I think he'll be fine by
that time. I'm in the lounge with gents.
Me: “I'm on and no one can forbid me even my
husband” I don't understand why they want to cut me
out.
Kat: “Okay but you'll be in the car”
Me: “Tha”
They laughed.
Kat: “The plan is to let them to steal money while they
are busy with that Spider and TK will plant
trackers in the gateway cars so Nompe will locate them
so we go to the exact location and go to take
our money”
Samkelo went to fetch the kids from school I ordered
pizza for us. We ate when they got home and
we are in the lounge with some of the gents and Sma is
738 | P a g e
practising.
Me: “Excruciating”
Sma: “E-X-C-R-U-C-I-A-T-I-N-G” he spelled it correct.
We clapped hands for him.
Me: “Good boy”
Sma: “Mom Uncle Lwandile made me copies of
bombastic word so I can prepare myself”
Me: “I have to thank Lwandile. Go and take the paper
my baby so that I can check how far are you”
He ran to upstairs.
Samkelo: “He is determining and he likes this spelling
thing”
Sakhi: “He's going to be a snob like Mthoko” They
laughed.
Me: “Don't call him a snob”
Kat: “And then?”
Us: “What is it?”
Kat: “Sihle posted a video on my mom's WhatsApp”
We took the phone and looked the video. He was
speaking about his loving parents and how is
grandmother is spoiling him. We all laughed out.
Spikes: “Guys do you believe that Sihle is 4 years old?”
We laughed again.
Kat: “I wonder how he got that phone”
Me: “When he takes something you don't notice unless
you want to use it”
Kat: “He too smart for his age and I'm starting to be
worried. There last time they came to visit in my
739 | P a g e
house I found him eating ice cream in the fridge in the
middle of the night” The gents laughed again.
Samkelo: “That one is something else. He told his
mother that he wants to spin iGusheshe when he's old”
Spikes: “I thought Juju was like you but I know I was
wrong because Sihle likes danger like you”
At 17:00pm they all went. Samkelo cooked for us we
had supper and kids went to sleep in Mam'S cottage.
22:00pm we went and we parked far but when we can
see them. It was fumigation so I told
the staff not to come to work. We stayed there for 3
hours at 01:30 am we saw the two black crew
buses and three motorbikes. Spikes Spider TK and S.K
were close. I was with Spiro and Kat. After 45 minutes
they got off the car and they disappeared in 5 minutes
our guys were done they came back and after some
time they got out of the club running. The trackers
were on and everything was going according to plan.
They went off the alarms didn't go off that means they
tampered them but it
doesn't matter because I'll get our money back. When I
was tracing each tracker they used different routes but
in the end they'll be in one place.
After 45 minutes all the trackers were in the same
location we drove to the location. It is old warehouse.
Our crew surrounded the area and we went there. I'm
using one crush for support.
Guy1: “We hit the jackpot that bitch didn't see this
740 | P a g e
coming”
Guy2: “She is hot though”
Zaba: “Stop talking and continue to do your work”
Me: “Nc nc nc”
They tried to take their guns....
Kat: “Voetsek!” They all dropped the guns down.
Me: “The Queen of Axe is in the house. I must
congratulate you Zaba of what you did. I must say you
made me to hire you for you to steal for me but the
first day I saw you there was something off with
you. When I got to my office and found my chair
moving for the first time I thought it was coincidence
but the second time it happened I knew you were up
to something and I found who you are” I laughed
sarcastically.
Samkelo: “Who is your boss?”
Zaba: “Ta S.K...” he tried to talk but Samkelo slapped
him and he was down a second.
SK: “I said who is your boss?” SK (Samkelo)
Me: “Leave it babe. Spikes we ready to roll”
SK passed my axe to me and he took his. Ta Kat shifted
from us we chopped them in pieces roughly
while Spikes was recording when we were done Spike
and Spiro took our money and we went to the cars got
in then we drove off. When I got home I sent the video
to Felicia for her to see whoever mess with me will end
up dead because I'm Queen of Axe!
We took a shower together and went straight to bed.
741 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Babe I don't like what happened today”
Me: “I know babe that you don't like it but I have to do
because I know that the accident is linked to
Felicia. I'm sorry Mbulazi omnyama” I smiled. He
smiled too.
Samkelo: “Okay babe” I lifted my face up to look at him
I reached for his mouth and kissed him. He
pulled out when the kiss heated up.
Samkelo: “Babe let us sleep”
Me: “Can I?” I touched his shaft.
Samkelo: “Sthandwa sami no I don't want to hurt you”
he pecked my lips and kiss my forehead. I rolled
my eyes and he laughed.
Samkelo: “Sleep you won't get any until you fully
healed”
Me: “Haaah! Never” I was shocked by that. He laughed
hard.
Samkelo: “KaMazibuko sleep please” he wanted to
laugh.
Me: “Hayi babe!” I gently hit his shoulder. He snuggled
me and we drifted dreamland.
In the morning I called Zane and he said everything is
fine in the club. Spiro and others went to clean
at the club and changed the locks and all that. Spiro
went to open at the club. I called Spiro and thank
him. I also called Lwandile to thank him for teaching
Sma.
Samkelo: “Breakfast in bed Madame”
742 | P a g e
Me: “Ncooah sthandwa sam” I blushed. He is taking
care of him.
He ate breakfast with me. Mam'S is helping the kids to
prepare to go to school today I'm going
To see Sihle at his grandparents’ house in Umhlanga. I
went to the kitchen after eating to check upon
my boys.
Sma & Juju: “Morning mom”
Me: “Morning babies” I kissed their foreheads.
Juju: “I think I'm old for that now”
Sma: “And me too” I laughed.
Me: “Even if you 45 years old I'll continue to kiss your
foreheads” Samkelo laughed behind me.
Sma & Juju: “Haah never” I shook my head.
Samkelo: “Have you seen your brother's video?” Juju
and Sma laughed.
Juju: “We saw on WhatsApp yes...” his eyes were all
out. His father cleared his throat.
Me: “On whose WhatsApp?”
Sma: “Let me wash my bowl...”
Me: “Come back here. You have WhatsApp?” They
looked down.
Me: “Samkelo Junior! Smamukele! When did this
happened?” my voice is up now.
Juju: “The time you were in hospital dad was always in
hospital so we asked Uncle Lwandile to have
WhatsApp to talk to him or ask him anything anytime”
Sma: “We sorry mom for hiding this thing from you but
743 | P a g e
it was easy to communicate through WhatsApp
Uncle Lwandile or Gogo or Mkhulu” I feel bad about
shouting at them.
Me: “I'm sorry for shouting at you my boys before
getting facts about this WhatsApp but your father
and I will have access to your tablets just to check
everything through okay?”
Sma & Juju: "Okay mom”
Me: “Goodbye boys and have a wonderful day”
Sma & Juju: “Thanks mom you too”
Samkelo took them to school. He came back with
pizza.
Me: “Thanks babe ngathi ubuwazi” He came to sit next
to me. He pecked my lips.
Samkelo: “I'm such a good husband yabo” he smiled I
smiled back.
Me: “I'm a good wife too”
We ate our pizza and took my medication. We watch
action movie our and we doze off in the
Couch we disturb by his phone.
Samkelo: “Babe we need to have a serious talk now”
he said after talking to the phone. I sat up straight.
Me: “Okay. Let's talk”
Samkelo: “I was talking to Nobuhle on the phone. She
wants us to "fix" things because I haven't talk
to since we came back so I need to plan to take her
out”
Me: “Okay. We need to plan things fast to eliminate
744 | P a g e
her”
Sihle: “Mommy!”
That's my Sihle! I got up but I almost hurt myself trying
to get up. I went to him and hugged him.
Sihle: “You're suffocating me mom” I pulled him off
from my chest and kissed his cheek.
Me: “How are you feeling now boy?”
Sihle: “Mom please stop kissing my face I'm too old for
that now”
Me: “You'll always be my baby even if you're 50 but to
me you'll always be a baby” He shook his head
at me. He fists pump his Father and he kissed his
cheek.
Sihle: “Hayi tiama you're cramping my style” We both
laughed at him while he was looking at us. I
went to make the food. And went back to the lounge.
Samkelo: “I thought everything is going well between
you and her”
Sihle: “Haa tiama she doesn’t love me that one”
He has a girlfriend. How old is he?
Samkelo: “You have to talk to her ntwana” What kind
of the father he is?
Sihle: “I will find the another one ntwana” I came in
and they both kept quiet.
Me: “Really Samkelo you talk about girls with him?”
Samkelo: “Babe calm down he's just a boy and boys
will be always be boys. They all have girlfriends
and I like to talk to them about their girlfriends just to
745 | P a g e
find out what's going on and keep them in line”
Sihle took his food.
Me: “I guess you have a point but why you didn't tell
me about that babe?”
Sihle almost choked on his food. Samkelo choked on
his saliva.
Me: “Am I that bad?”
Sihle: “Haah Dragon lady” Samkelo laughed so hard.
Me: “Babe!” He continued laughing.
Me: “Boy boy?”
Sihle: “Haah mom you like to shout so that's why we
didn't tell you and please don't shout at us for
having a girlfriend”
Me: “Okay I won't shout at you but I'm your mother
and I'm supposed to know these things”
Samkelo: “Sorry babe for not telling you but they asked
me not to tell you because you'll shout at
them”
Sihle: “Sma's girlfriend is white and cute and Juju's
girlfriend is cute too”
Me: “And yours?”
Sihle: “She is beautiful but I don't love her now
because when I got hurt I didn't go to school I think
she has a new boyfriend”
Samkelo: “You have to talk to her ntwana and find out
what's going on”
Me: “Who you came with?”
Sihle: “My bodyguards” We both looked at each other.
746 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Bodyguards?”
Sihle: “Haaa tiama in grandpa's house everyone has a
bodyguards and grandpa said it will be safe for
us” I don't understand why they have bodyguards.
Me: “So when are you coming back my sweetheart?”
Sihle: “I don't know mom but it really nice to stay there
with pensioners they spoil me too much.
Yesterday grandmother your mother came to see me
she brought candy for me” My mother in
Khumalo's residence? Maybe she was around.
Me: “I'll call her to thank her my baby” Samkelo is
quiet and I don't know why.
We heard a door opening.
Sma: “Hayi Uncle Lwandile usibamba ngepani Manje”
Lwandile: “I'm telling you. Okay if you don't trust me
ask your father” They came to the lounge laughing.
Me: “Thanks for fetching them Lwandile”
Lwandile: “These are my nephews so you don't have to
thank me”
Lwandile: “Sure ntwana” he fists bump Sihle. They
greet each other like that always.
Me: “I'm hungry now. Please pass my phone I need to
order pizza for all of us” Intercom went off
Lwandile went to open the gate.
Mbuso Sphe and Zamo came in with pizza.
Me: “Ncooah you're such darling you know that right?”
I took a box of chicken and mushroom.
Me: “I'm not sharing with anyone here even my lovely
747 | P a g e
husband” They laughed at me.
Sma: “Mommy you are eating a lot these days”
Juju: “That's true dude” Samkelo and Lwandile looked
at each other.
Me: “I'm hungry”
Sihle: “You'll be fat soon if you are eating at this pace”
They laugh at me and I felt tears in my eyes.
They kept quitte when they realised that I’m crying.
Samkelo: “Hayi majita don't make my wife cry I don't
like to see her crying” he pulled me to his chest
and tried to calm me down because I was really crying.
Them: “Sorry we didn't mean to make you sad” They
all stood up and went to the kitchen. They came
back with fruits and juice and gave it to me as Peace
offering.
Samkelo ordered supper for all of us we ate and have a
great time with them. Why my mother was at
the Khumalo's? Bodyguards?
Three weeks after Sihle was making a great progress he
even removed that thing in his arm and his
leg was doing fine and I was doing fine too. His doctor
said in a week he'll be fine and he can fly. Sihle
cited when they teased him about the trip that he isn't
going anymore because of his leg but the
doctor said he is doing fine and I must keep a close eye
on him for not hurting himself when he is
playing.
Samkelo: “Have I ever admired your beauty my love?”
748 | P a g e
Me: “No”
Samkelo: “You're beautiful my love”
Me: “Thanks babe but I'm getting fat and I don't like it”
Samkelo: “Sorry babe but I like the way you are” he put
his head on his shoulder.
Samkelo: “I'll drive you to the club babe and fetch you”
Me: “No I'll take my car”
Samkelo: “I'll drive you there and my word is final” his
voice is firm and I know he means it but I don't
like it he treats me like a child. I took my bags and went
downstairs by the way I went back to the main
bedroom when my leg was feeling better.
I didn't say anything.
Me: “Can you please help me to zip up?” He came to
help to zip up my dress and it’s too tight now.
Me: “Hayi I need a gym I can be this fatty”
Samkelo: “It's suit you though babe and I like your
extra ass and…” smirk on his face.
Me: “Mxm!” He laughed.
When I went to the kitchen to make breakfast I found
my boys in the lounge on their pyjamas.
Me: “Why aren't you ready for school?”
Juju: “Teachers told us not to come to school today
and their gave us letters to confirm that”
Sihle: “I'm on a holiday”
Samkelo: “Yeah my love I forgot to tell you about the
letters they gave me yesterday”
Me: “I didn’t see that letter because?”
749 | P a g e
Samkelo: “You were sleeping babe and I didn't want to
disturb you” I'm sad now. If I'm not sleeping
I'm eating a lot and I'm even gaining weight on top of
that.
Sma: “Mom I have a running tummy”
Me: “Come my boy I'll give you something for your
tummy”
He came to me and I went to my bedroom and gave
him the pills for running tummy. I went make him
a porridge for him and I made breakfast for other who
were demanding especially Sihle who wanted
bacon eggs and all that. When we were done eating I
cleaned up and went to tell Mam'S that they
aren't going to school and Sma is sick so that she can
keep an eye to him.
Samkelo: “Babe you were those shoes? Are you sure
about them?”
Me: “Samkelo I always wear these shoes and what's
the problem now?”
Samkelo: “Okay honey I was looking out for you there's
no need to bite my head”
Me: “Please leave me alone Samkelo” I’m angry at him.
He opened the door for me I got in and he
went to his side and got in and he drove out the gate.
Samkelo: “Babe do you know that I love you?”
Me: “You are taking care of me and our kids that shows
how much you love me and our kids in fact
your family. I love you for that Mbulazi wami”
750 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Mhm I'm glad to hear that babe”
Me: “But please stop treating me like a child I can take
of myself”
Samkelo: “Okay babe it’s just that....”
Me: “Hayi Samkelo”
He just laughed. When we got to the parking lot at club
he opened the door for me locked the car
and we both went in.
Zane: “Mr and Mrs Khumalo”
Us: “Morning Zane”
Smiso was back and he was cleaning the glass behind
the counter. He greeted after that we went to
my office.
Me: “Babe I need painkillers I have a headache” I was
holding my head. His eyes were all out.
Samkelo: “Drink here first” he gave me a bottle of
water. I took bottle and drank water. I sat on my
chair and he sat down too.
Me: “Babe I'm hungry”
Samkelo: “I'm not going to the office today let me call
in first then I'll buy you something to eat” He
took his phone and called his PA he told her that he
isn't coming to work today.
Samkelo: “What you like to eat my nunu berry?”
Me: “Chicken wings from Chicken Licken Krush mixed
berry juice white bread and carbury nut and
raisin chocolate slab” I closed my eyes as I was
counting what I wanted to eat. When I opened my
751 | P a g e
eyes he was looking at me amused.
Me: “What is it?”
Samkelo: “Nothing babe I'm enjoying looking at you”
he smiled.
My phone rang.
Me: “Spikes” I put on a loudspeaker.
Spikes: “I wanted to speak to your husband”
Me: “I can pass the message for you to him”
Spikes: “Please tell him that the girls have arrived and
booze so we're waiting for him”
Me: “Uyanya kanti” He laughed out loud and Samkelo
laughed too.
Spikes: “I'm joking. I wanted to check of you okay and
the little one”
Me: “I'm fine. Little one?” I was confused by that.
Spikes: “Erhh...I...mean Sihle” we spoke for a while
after that he ended the call.
Me: “Babe I'm hungry” I looked at him. He snapped out
of it.
Samkelo: “Okay let me go babe” he took his car keys
and went out.
He went out. I took the paperwork that I needed to
sign. I checked the orders and signed them. There
was a knock in a door. “Come in”
The lady came in. She is wearing a red tight dress black
heels and Givenchy black handbag. Weave on
point and make up. She looked around like she was
annoyed by something.
752 | P a g e
Me: “Can I help you?”
She looked at me like I was crazy or something. She sat
on a chair looking at me.
Her: “I'm sure you're Samkelo's wife”
Me: “The one and only honey” I smiled.
Her: “That will change soon sweetheart because I'm
going to be Samkelo's second wife”
Am being tested or what?
Me: “Okay Samkelo's second wife what I can do for
you?” I was pissed.
Her: “I came to check on soon to be sister wife” I
smiled.
Me: “When you are done please close the door after
you I don't have time for this nonsense” my
voice was trembling in anger.
Her: “Ooh bitch please shut up!”
Me: “Listen here little girl I don't know who you are but
I'm sure you're my husband's bitch and I'm
his wife so please know the difference between the
two before I wipe this office with that empty and
useless head of yours” I gave her a side smile and I do
that when I'm really pissed off.
Her: “You don't scare me bitch” she looked me in the
eye. I laughed sarcastically.
Me: “You should be sweetheart. Am about to be your
worst nightmare. Now you made your point so
get out” I got up from my chair and she did that too.
We were facing each other like we're in a staring
753 | P a g e
consent.
Her: “Please tell my husband to be that I was here to
see our club” I laughed out loud.
Me: “Oh useless bitch please shut up....” I didn’t finish
that sentence she slapped me and I titled my
head following her slap and my Brazilian hair covered
my face. I came back with a back slap that caused
her to fall in a chair that she was sitting on and she fall
with a chair. In went to her I punched her in
the face. When I started to strangle her I felt a strong
grip pulling me from her.
Samkelo: “What the hell are you doing?”
Me: “Don't ask me that bullshit Samkelo when your
bitch came to me and introduced herself saying
that she....” I didn't finish up the sentence I heard a
clicking gun when we looked at it.
Her: “Don't move” she was pointing a gun at us. We
looked at each other and we cracked out laughing
until tears came out.
Me: “Ncooah girl you were supposed to do drama in
Varsity you good in this” I clapped my hands for
the grand performance she did.
Me: “You know what a gun don't scare me so pointing
a gun at me don't scare all” I quickly opened
the drawer in my table I took my small sharp axe I
threw it her direction and it passed in front of her
face and it got stuck in a wall.
Me: “You see that girl I did it intentionally but next
754 | P a g e
time I'll do it” I was looking her face and she was
shocked she just froze.
Samkelo: “Haha Queen ka Axe” he laughed out loud
after saying those words.
Samkelo: “Nobuhle are you still here? If I were you I
would....” he didn't finish the sentence. She
stormed out and we both laughed after looking at
that.
Samkelo: “Don't you ever fight with bitches”
Me: “Keep your bitches in line or else I'll chop their
pussies dry them frame them and sent it to their
families”
Samkelo: “I'm sorry about that babe but I don't like
you....” he was trying to explain.
Me: “Can I have my food?”
He took out all the food I wanted and other goodies I
didn't mention but he bought them for me.

Chapter 42

Me: “Ncooah babe you're such a darling how did you

know that I wanted Yoghurt and all these
goodies?”I was smiling looking at the food in my table.
Samkelo: “You're my wife and I know what you like or
don't. Right now you want Debonaires chicken
755 | P a g e
and mushroom pizza” he was smiling at me.
Me: “Babe...”
Samkelo: “I ordered it for you on my way here in few
minutes it'll be here”
Me: “You're such a loving and caring husband who
knows his wife” I said with a big chunk in my mouth.
Samkelo: “Can I have a peice in your wings?” he
wanted to laugh but he held his laugh.
Me: “Hayi babe” I took my wings and tried to hide
them for not him to see them like a kid. He laughed
out.
Me: “It’s not funny babe uyahaha nje” I gave him a tiny
piece that was in a box. He took it laughing
and I gave him a dare stare.
Samkelo: “I'll get other wings for you my love” he was
laughing.
Me: “Please do that my love because these one here
are nothing"-I closed my eyes as I was eating.
After eating he went to order the chicken here in our
club. He ate there not in my office the reason is
he thinks I will eat his food because these days I'm
eating like I have worms. I continued with my work
and I knocked off early because Sma is not feeling well
so I must check him myself. On our way home
I wanted another wings and pizza. He didn't say
anything but we went to the mall and bought my
wings and pizza and for the kids then we went home.
Me: “Hey babies”
756 | P a g e
Them: “Hey mommy” They didn't pay attention
because they were playing games.
Me: “How are you feeling my boy?” I touched his
cheek.
Sihle: “I'm feeling better now mom. Mam'S gave me
something to drink for a running tummy and its
stop and now I'm feeling better” he said with a smile.
Samkelo's genes in his kids are hayi shame.
Me: “I'm glad to hear that son”
"Mom in two weeks’ time we going overseas so I need
warm and summer clothes because Uncle
Mthoko said that place is cold I don't want to catch
cold there” I hope he'll change as he grows
because I won't be able to deal with him. His father
laughed.
Samkelo: “Okay boys let's go to for shopping”
Them: “Yeeeey!” They jumped up and down.
Sihle: “And we are living mom behind”
Me: “That won't happen I'm going with you”
Sihle: “We'll buy everything we want with our father's
money”
Me: “I’ll buy too with my husband's money” He
frowned.
Sihle: “You can't do that because you have your own
card” They were looking at us like we're crazy.
Samkelo: “Okay! Okay! Everyone will buy whatever
they want. Daddy is using a black card today!”
Me: “Yeey! Let me go and change” I quickly went
757 | P a g e
upstairs he followed upstairs. I took my jean and
wore it but it got stuck in my thighs.
Me: “Fuck!” I shouted.
Samkelo: “What is it babe?”
Me: “I need to buy new pairs of jeans because the one
I have here are small now” I was angry and I
felt tears in my eyes. I took my pitch shirt dress and
black floppies. He was wearing a skinny jean and
white golfT-shirt and black Air Jordan X Ovo8 he was
handsome. I went to him...
Samkelo: “You're look so hot babe”
He got up as he was fixing something in his sneakers.
Me: “You're hot too babe” he smiled. I got closer to
him and I kissed him so hungrily. He pulled out.
Samkelo: “Babe...”
I unbuckled his belt.
Samkelo: “Babe let's go before they hate us” taking off
my hands from him.
Me: “I miss you...”
Samkelo: “Let's go babe. We'll continue with at night”
he whispered in my ear. I like that whisper it
sends message to special places.
Me: “Mhhm” I spanked his tight ass. He turned to look
at me with a smirk on his face. He came closer
to me and kissed me. We heard a knock.
Sihle: “Mom Dad come out now” We both laughed.
Samkelo: “Okay we are coming” he took his wallet took
my hand to his hand and we went downstairs.
758 | P a g e
Sihle was furious and I'm sure he thinks I'm the one
who cancel the trip.
Samkelo: “Let's go boys” Sihle jumped from where he
was sitting.
Sihle: “Let's go before she changes her mind” Sma and
Juju laughed.
Sma: “Audi Q5 taima” “Audi Q5 it is then” Samkelo.
He's the one who teach them that and I don't do
it unless I want to or I want to use another car but
other than that I don't ask them which car to use.
Samkelo bring the car we hooped in and drove to
Gateway.
Sihle: “Dad” We all laughed we all know that there's
something he wants when he says “Dad” in a
polite way.
Samkelo: “What do you want my boy?” he was
smiling.
Sihle: “Hawu Mntungwa”
Us: “Hawu!” even Samkelo was surprised. We were all
shocked to hear him saying that I remember
not so long ago he wanted to teach him his clan names
but Sihle said he don't need to know them
now because he is still young there's no need for him
to know them.
Sihle: “I need some few bucks I want to take
Siphesande to the movies” I choked on my saliva. They
all laughed at me.
Me: “What?” I said after drinking water Samkelo gave
759 | P a g e
me.
Sihle: “Dad?”
Samkelo: “You too young for that Sihle”
Me: “Too young”
Sihle: “I might let her go if mom is going to be a part of
it”
Me: “Watch your mouth young man”
Samkelo: “Babe calm down and you Sihle calm down”
We made it to them all and I was hungry like I
haven't eaten in a million years.
Me: “Babe I'm hungry and I can't do shopping this
hungry”
Samkelo: “Okay let's go to and eat quickly” We all went
to the restaurant and we ate.
Sihle: “Mom you're eat alot now look how fat you are”
he was looking at me like I was crazy.
Me: “Sihle please get off my case” Samkelo Sma and
Juju looked at each other and gave Sihle a weird
stare.
Me: “And then? Why are you looking at him like that?”
Sma: “Nothing mom it’s just that Sihle is rude”
Me: “Okay. Finish up Sihle so that we can go” He
finished up and we all went out the restaurant.
Boys said we must start with their clothes because
when we start with mine theory might not get
anything. Samkelo laughed at that and I was pissed. He
gave me water to drink. I drank water and the
boys we're choosing what they like.
760 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I like their sense of style”
Me: “Thanks to you for spoiling them to like expensive
clothes” He laughed.
Samkelo: “Haah I have to babe the money needs to be
spent so I don't have a choice” he said proudly
and he shook his head.
Boys came with their basket and we went to tills to pay
and exited. Went to men boutique shop he
bought shirts and I helped him with others. I choose his
underwear socks and vests. Sihle laughed. I
wonder what he was laughing at. We went to pay for
his items and we exited the boutique.
Voice: “Mrs Khumalo” When we turned to look who it
is.......
Sergent: “Mrs Nompendulo Khumalo you're under
arrest for assault of Miss Nobuhle Zingelwayo...”
Samkelo: “What the fuck?!”
Sergent cuffed me and my kids we're wailing and the
crowd was around the shop within a blink of an
eye.
Samkelo: “Babe don't say anything I'm following you
right now!” the was a rage in his voice. They took
me away and my kids crying broke my heart I felt tears
in my eyes but I didn't want to cry because I'll
lose it and do the worst.
When we arrived at station I was taken to the
interrogation room.
Sibisi: “Mrs Khumalo I'm Detective Sibisi and my
761 | P a g e
collogue Detective Grootboom”
Me: “What am I doing here Detective?”
Sibisi: “Assault of Miss Zingelwayo” I kept quiet as my
husband said I should.
Grootboom: “We don't have all day”
Me: “I'm hungry can I get something to eat?”
After few minutes my husband came in followed by
Andile.
Andile: “Sibisi and Grootboom I hope you didn't harass
my client” He sat down.
Sibisi: “No we didn't”
Andile: “Did you get enough evidence before arresting
my client?”
Sibisi: “Urm... I... We”
Andile: “Take a look at this and you'll see what
happened and the whole story” He turned the laptop
to them. The video was taken by the hidden caremas in
my office showing Nobuhle when she first
slapped me then I beat the crap out of her. Sibisi shook
his head.
Andile: “As you gentlemen I don't want yoiu to waste
my time do what you have to”
Samkelo: “By the way I'm usuing the whole station” I
didn't expect that from him. You could have seen
their faces when he said that.
Grootboom: “Mr Khumalo we can talk about this”
pleading.
Samkelo: “Release a statement clearing my wife's
762 | P a g e
name or else this useless station and its stuff won't
see the day tomorrow” he was livid.
Sibisi: “Mrs Khumalo you free to go. We sorry for not
gathering enough evidence before arresting you”
The door swang open Mntungwa came in...Sibisi's face
went from pleading to scared he was even
shaking.
Mntungwa: “Detectives?” Andile's father came in after
Mntungwa. Sibisi and Grootboom was at far
end of the table looking scared.
Grootboom: “Mr Khumalo everything is okay the
statement will be realised today. We sorry about
happened”
Dlamini: “You're better be” They kept throwing threats
at them.
Me: “Can we please go I'm hungry”
Samkelo: “Let's go babe” I got up we exited the
interrogation room the station the others were
following us. He opened the door for me got in and he
got in and he drove us home.
When we got home my kids were sleeping.
Spiro: “You almost spent a night in holding cell your
sour ass”
Me: “Hayi voetsek wena” I sat down next to my
husband.
Lwandile: “I'm glad you back home Sis'Nompe they
were crying so bad Sihle said he isn't going go to
Disneyland when you're arrested”
763 | P a g e
Me: “I'm glad to be home too. I hated to see my kids
crying like that it broke my heart...”
Sihle: “Sma! Juju! Mommy is here! Juju! Sma! Mommy
is here” he screamed for his brothers when he
saw me.
Sihle: “Mommy! Mommy!” he ran to me I got up and
took him to my arms and spun him around.
Sihle: “Mommy I love you. I promise you I'll never be a
bad boy again I'll be a good boy listening to you
please don't ever leave us” he was crying again. His
words broke my heart because he always wants
to do whatever he wants but what happened earlier on
changed his mindset.
Me: “I love you too my boy. Mommy will never ever
leave you okay” I was brushing his back and
rocking him.
Sma: “Mommy” They eyes were red. I don't like to see
them like these and this happened in front of
them. Samkelo took Sihle in my arms and I hugged
both. I went to sit on the couch with them and
Sihle's head was in my chest. My phone rang.
Me: “Nompendulo hello”
Voice: “Mrs Khumalo is true that you were arrested
today in the mall?” Okay it’s the Journalist.
Me: “No comment” I dropped my phone after that.
Kat: “Please switch off your phone” I switched it off.
Me: “Babe I'm hungry”
Samkelo: “What would you like to eat?”
764 | P a g e
Me: “I want full chicken from Nandos white bread
Krush mixed berries juice wings from KFC carburry
raisin and nut chocolate slap yoghurt and fruits” I
tasted them as I was counting it all. They all looked
at me weird.
Me: “Why are you all looking at me like that?” I was
confused.
Them: “Nothing”
Me: “Please help me to take them to their beds” Kat
Lwandile and Spiro took boys from me and went
upstairs. I followed them to their room I kissed their
foreheads and went to downstairs.
Samkelo: “Haaa she'll kill me mfethu” They laughed at
him.
Kat: “But her not knowing will make her angrier”
Samkelo: “I'll try to but I don't promise anything” I
went to the kitchen. Spiro was looking my chicken.
Me: “Voetsek Spiro get off those dirty hands from
chicken” I quickly went to the kitchen and smacked
his head.
Spiro: “Ouch! I'm sorry” They laughed sat him.
Me: “What are you hiding from me Samkelo” I was
eating the drumstick.
Samkelo: “Let me take your food to the lounge where
you'll sit comfortable and eat” Lwandile helped
him.
Samkelo: “Our food mjita is on the way” They said Ok.
Me: “You're would've starved because I wasn't giving
765 | P a g e
anyone my food” Kat laughed out loud. They all
laughed after him. I put my meat down I felt tears in
my eyes.
Samkelo: “Babe sorry please don't cry” he pulled me to
his chest and I sob in his chest. He tried to
calm me down but it got worse.
Kat: “Sorry Nompe we didn't mean to...” I pulled out
from Samkelo's chest and I gave Kat a dead stare.
I continued eating my food.
Me: “Babe I don't like to feel like this. These days I'm a
crying baby and I'm always hungry and I'm
getting fat and Sihle is making jokes about. I don't like
it” I was crying again.
Samkelo: “Babe it’s just that you're stressed nothing
more but tomorrow we going to see your doctor
just to make sure you're alright” I nodded.
Me: “Andile thanks for getting me out there”
Andile: “I was doing my job Nompe there's no need to
thank me”
Me: “Haah please teach me those lawyer line I'll throw
them when fuckers are trying to fuck up with
me” They all wanted to laugh but they quickly gave me
an eye and they kept quiet especially Kat.
Samkelo: “Babe don't choke on your food” I gave him a
stare and he liked away. Their food was
delivered an I was done with my chicken. They ordered
beef.
Me: “Can I get some?” I was looking at their meat and
766 | P a g e
it smell was great.
Spiro: “You don't eat beef” I smacked his head.
Spiro: “Ouch! What's wrong with you” he was gently
brushing at the back of his head.
Me: “Shut up!” Kat smiled and looked away.
Samkelo: “You won't eat beef you're allergic and my
word is final Nompendulo!” He's such an ass
sometimes. They ate their food and I was sad for not
getting that me at and they finished it. My mom
called me and she wanted to check up on me and I told
her that I'm fine she gave grandmother the
phone and I told her too that I'm okay. They sounded
worried but I assured them that I'm okay. After
Spiro cleaned when we were eating they went. We
couldn't talk about this matter because Lwandile
was with us so we'll talk tomorrow.
We went to our bedroom took a shower together and
went to bed after taking a shower.
Me: “Thanks for getting me out of there babe”
Samkelo: “I'm your husband babe there's no need to
thank me I was doing what I was supposed to do”
My head was in his chest.
Me: “Is there something you want tell me honey?”
Samkelo: “Everything is okay babe and I'm glad you
here with me”
He's so sweet.
Samkelo: “Let me continue what I promised you earlier
on” he said getting on top of me and kissed
767 | P a g e
me so senseless.
Samkelo: “I like it when you're naked...” he whispered
in my ear as he was kissing my neck. We made
love till I passed out.
In the morning I was extremely tired my whole-body
ache.
Me: “Mbulazi!” I was shouting I was so tired. He
entered with a tray.
Samkelo: “MaMwelase” he was in a good mood. I went
to the bathroom quickly I threw up in a toilet.
After I was done I brushed my teeth and rinsed my
mouth with mouth wash.
Samkelo: “Are you okay babe”
Me: “Yes babe I'm okay. I think I mixed food yesterday”
Samkelo: “Come let's eat” he took my hand to his
hand. The tray was in my side table full of delicious
things.
Me: “You're spoiling me too much now babe”
Samkelo: “I'm force to its my duty to spoil you and take
care of you” he kissed me. He deepened the
kiss and I felt him hard.
Me: “You not getting any babe Hayi vagina too much” I
pouted my lips. He laughed.
Samkelo: “Let me kiss it better” I hit his shoulder
playfully. We ate breakfast in bed. He took try to the
kitchen and came back. He kissed me so slowly when I
tried to pull out he held me and
Continued the kiss. When he was on top of me his
768 | P a g e
hands were all over my body. He inserted his
manhood. It felt so painfully good.
Samkelo: “Is it still painful?” he whispered in my ear
while moving slowly.
Me: “Painfully great” There was a knock in our door.
Samkelo: “Jeez!” he groaned in anger.
Sihle: “Mommy! Please open for us”
Samkelo: “Eish Eish Eish!” he got off me. I laughed. He
cleaned us quickly.
Me: “Come in boys!”
Three of them came in holding they bowls of cereals.
Sma and Juju on in bed with their bowls and
Sihle put his bowl down and got in bed.
Sihle: “Dad please pass my bowl for me” His father
took it for him.
Me: “I'm back boys and I need you to be happy”
We spent the whole day indoors with our kids and
Sihle was taking pictures of us with his father's
phone. Sihle is something else he likes older things
than him.
----------------
Me: “Jacket boots vests underwears socks jeans
sneakers sweaters pyjamas”
Samkelo: “Check for fifty times babe”
Intercom rang....
Sma: “Yeeey granny is here!” He ran to open the gate.
Sihle: “Mom please close my suitcase I'm ready to go”
Sma came with mom giggling. She is in black long dress
769 | P a g e
and dusty pink coat and Versace wedge pumps.
Grandma & Mom: “Mkhwenyana ninjani?”
Samkelo: “Siyaphila ninjani?”
Grandma: “Siyaphila nathi”
Mom: “How are you my baby”
Me: "I'm good mom even though I'm getting fat nje but
I'm fine” Sihle and Juju greeted them grandmother.
Sihle: “Mom please don't keep us waiting close our
suitcases so that we can go”
My boys are wearing grey skinny jeans black jackets
and black and maroon Air Jordan Jumpman Team II.
Sihle was wearing a black one. Looking handsome like
their father.
Me: “Mom please take a photo as a family” She took
my phone. Sihle was pissed now. Grandma was looking
at me like there's something she wants to say or she
pity me I don't know why but I feel like that. After
taking pictures I kissed their foreheads.
Intercom went off when I showed them to the lounge
and Sihle was saying they must go they will drink their
coffee on the way. Samkelo came with Spikes.
Spikes: “Sanibonani ekhaya”
Grandma: “Yebo ninjani mntanam?”
Spikes: “Siyaphila mah singezwakini”
Mom: “Siyaphila nathi”
Spikes signalled me to come to him. I went to the side
Samkelo went to the kitchen.
Spikes: “Zee wanted to know about the trip”
770 | P a g e
Me: “I think we are going tomorrow we are taking road
trip”
Spikes: “I'm sure it’s Nokwe's idea”
Me: “You know her too well”
Spikes: “I'll come back later”
Me: “Okay. Tell Zee that we not swimming this time”
He laughed. He went and Samkelo showed him out. I
went back to the lounge grandma gave me a weird
look.
Grandma: “Masimbamani lawa owenzayo? Usineka
namadoda Emzini wendoda yakho phambikwayo.
Sies!”
What on earth?
Me: “Gogo angika....”
Grandma: “Shut up! Nompendulo” her voice was little
bit high kids were looking at us.
Grandma: “Uzothini umkhwenyana kufika amadoda
ezekuwe usinekenawo(What will your husband think
when there are men going in and out his house and
you busy giggling with them)?” she is angry.
Me: “Gogo ngiyaxolisa bekumayelana
nomsebenzi(Grandma I'm sorry it was about work)” I
hate to apologise especially when I didn't do anything
but right now it’s only the option I have.
Grandma: “Mxm”
I got up and went to the kitchen I found Samkelo
laughing his lungs out.
Samkelo: “Yhoo Magriza don't take shit” he said in
771 | P a g e
between his laugh.
Me: “Ei ngithethiselwa into engekho nje” I made
sandwiches quickly and served them with juice and
coffee for my granny. After we took them to airport
I've never seen my kids these happy. The hyper
one was jumping up and down in joy. I hugged my
granny and my mother. Kissed my boys and hugged
them. I gave my mother their passports. We waited till
they went to the terminal.
Samkelo: “Babe don't be sad they'll come back”
I was sad thinking that I've never done something to
make them happy this much as they are now.
Me: “I'm not sad babe” I felt tears in my eyes. He
hugged me. We went to the car and went home. We
found Spikes in our house.
Samkelo : “Masimba manilawa owenzayo” he was
imitating Grandma's voice. We laughed.
Spikes: “She said that?”
Samkelo: “She was livid bra saying that Nompe don't
respect my house and all that” Spikes laughed.
Spikes: “I’ll buy 150 cans of coffee just to say sorry” We
laughed again. He knows how much my grandma loves
coffee like his mother.
"Ximatsatsa" voice said. When I turned around it's
Frank. I went to hug him.
Frank: “Ouch!” I let him go. He is our fellow from
Mpumalanga branch.
Kat: “That's street fights for you”
772 | P a g e
Frank: “At least I won the battle I don't care with
pains”
I added sandwiches and they asked for whiskey instead
of juice. I made myself a big fatty and delicious
sandwich with juice. I gave to clean this mess when I'm
done because I gave Mam'S leave because kids are not
here who cause dirty and mess in the house. I wanted
this time to me and my husband just us walking naked
around the house having sex everywhere we want.
Frank: “What will you do with this free time alone?”
Kat: “I need another niece or nephew”
Me: “Wuuuuh! never shame I'm fine with my three
rascals”
Kat: “Hayi we paid too much for lobola”
Me: “Weee lutho! I don't need another baby now. We
fine right babe?”
Me: “Samkelo” I shook him. His mind was far away.
Samkelo: “Mhhm?” His mind was miles away.
Me: “I need to use toilet” I got up and made my way to
the bathroom.
Samkelo: “Babe!” he shouted at me. Everyone in the
room was standing.
Samkelo: “Bra go and get the car!” to Kat.
Me: “What's going on?” He has tears in his eyes. He
picked me up in a bridal style and went to crew
bus with me the guys came in and Kat drove to
hospital. In the car everyone was quite I don't what's
going on with them.
773 | P a g e
Me: “What's going on?” No one answered me.
When we got in the hospital Samkelo picked me up.
The nurses attended me quickly. After the nurses were
done the guys came in and I cried so loud my husband
pulled me to his chest and I sobbed.
Mntungwa came in along with Dlamini. Their faces
were sad even the guys here.
The doctor came in.
Samkelo: “Doctor”
Doc: “Mr Khumalo”
Mntungwa: “Doctor please tell us what is wrong?”
Doc: “I have bad new...”
Samkelo: “Doctor can we talk in private?”
Mntungwa: “Samkelo I think it's time now”
Dlamini: “He is right son”
What is wrong with these people? What they are
talking about.
Samkelo: “Dad please”
Kat: “At the end she has to know about it”
Samkelo: “Okay. You can continue doctor” he said that
with a sigh. He came to my side and took me
hand.
Me: “What is wrong with me? Am I sick? Please tell
them to help me Samkelo I promised my boys that
I won't ever leave them alone please tell the doctors to
help me” tears were falling.
Samkelo: “Shhh” he got up and pulled me to his chest.
He managed to calm me down.
774 | P a g e
Doc: “As I've said I have bad news and good news” I
looked at the doctor.
Doc: “I'm sorry Mrs Khumalo for your loss”
The room went quiet.
Me: “My loss? What loss?” I was confused as hell. The
doctor looked at Samkelo. Mntungwa looked at
Dlamini to Kat. Samkelo eyes were filled with tears.
Me: “Speak!” my voice with little bit high.
Silence.
Me: “Speak dammit!” I was shouted.
Doc: “You lost one baby and the other three is doing
fine”
Me: “What the hell are you talking about? Baby? I'm
not pregnant. Samkelo please tell this sick doctor that
I'm not pregnant” Samkelo was looking down and
when he lifted his head up tears were streaming down
his cheeks.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry”
I looked at Mntungwa and he looked away. Kat was
standing near the window looking outside. Spikes was
looking down.
Me: “Tell me it’s not true...” my voice is trembling
now.
Samkelo: “Babe I was scared to tell you because the
doctor said you don't need stress or something that
will shock you” he cried.
I wailed. He came to me and I shook my head
repeatedly.
775 | P a g e
Me: “All of you please leave” in a lowvoice.
Samkelo: “Babe please”
Me: “Now!” I screamed.
Mntungwa: “Let's give them time” They all went out
leaving him behind.
Samkelo: “I know you hate and you don't want to see
me but I was protecting you and our babies”
Me: “Samkelo all this time you knew that I'm
pregnant?”
He nodded.
Samkelo: “Babe I found out that you were pregnant
after the accident. They made all necessary test and
they found out that you're pregnant”
Me: “That was few months ago so you trying to tell me
that you were hiding that I was pregnant from me and I
found out now because I lost one of my babies”
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry...”
Me: “Who else knew about it?”
He didn't said anything so that mean everyone knew
and I was the only who didn't knew about it but it
makes sense now explaining me getting fat cravings
and eating a lot and him don't want to leave my side
and he didn't want me to drive. Why i didn't figure
these things out?
Samkelo: “Babe please calm down it’s not good for you
and the babies” he said because I was breathing fast
than normal. I gave him a deadly stare.
Me: “Please leave”
776 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I can't leave you here alone while we lost
one of our children. We need each and if you don't
want me you better get the gun and shoot me because
I'm not going anywhere” he pulled a chair and sat
down.
Me: “I thought you care about me Samkelo”
Samkelo: “Nompendulo what was I supposed to do
when the doctor told me that you don't need stress or
something that will shock you because you blood
pressure is high and your blood is weak. I did what I
had to do to save five of you but unfortunately God
had another plan for one of them.
Please tell me what I was supposed to do” he put his
head on the bed I'm sleeping and he cried. I closed my
eyes hearing him crying like that.
Me: “Come here”
He got up took his sneakers off and joined me in the
bed. He placed his head on my chest and we both cried
together holding each. We until we couldn't. I'm glad
he cried because innocent souls would have
lost they souls because he is hurting.
Samkelo: “Maybe he would be our quiet baby” he
smiled.
The love he has for his kids is so wonderful even
though he is spoiling them too much.
Me: “Or be crazy like Sihle” we both chuckled.
Samkelo: “Haaah babe please don't mention that one”
he smiled.
777 | P a g e
Silence.
He took both of my hands and looked in me in the
eyes.
Samkelo: “I didn't mean to hide such a big and
wonderful thing from you. It was the hardest decision
I've ever made and if we didn't lose one of them you
would've find out yourself”
Me: “We are expecting three babies?”
Samkelo: “They would've been four but...” he closed
his eyes and blinked repeatedly. I broke down again.
The door opened it Mntungwa and Dlamini.
Dlamini: "Kids I'm sorry for your loss"
Mntungwa: “I'm sorry too but siyabonga ko Mbulazi for
saving others”
Samkelo: “Siyabonga”
Mntungwa: “We need to tell your mothers”
Me: “Baba I would like not to tell them now especially
the kids. We need sometime without the kids”
Samkelo: “That's true dad” Mntungwa nodded.
After some time they went out and the guys came in
and Thami was here. I was quiet when Thami
was cracking jokes trying to neutralise the situation.
Me: “Kat does this happen to lose one child while the
others are doing okay?”
The room went silence.
Kat: “It does happen but it not usual scenario but it
does happen”
Me: “I will not lose the remaining babies?”
778 | P a g e
Kat: “No it won't happen. The doctors are working they
best to make sure that they are okay”
I nodded.
Samkelo: “Babe I know there's little life we lost and I
won't lie and say everything will go back to normal
but we will try to move on and fantasize or imagine
how he or she would have been like we'll go through
this together” I felt tears again.
Nontu Thabi Nokwe Zee and Nomxo came in. They
each gave me a tight hug.
Nontu: “We're sorry for your loss”
Me: “Thanks” I faked a smile.
Me: “You're all looking fat and different or it me” I was
looking at them. Nontu smiled.
Me: “You also pregnant?” to Nontu. She nodded.
Thami: “In fact all of you are pregnant. It was a bet”
Me: “Samkelo”
Nomxo: “Khethokuhle”
Thabi: “Andile”
Them: “We're sorry” Thami laughed out loud. TK and
Sakhi came rushing in.
Nokwe: “Tell me it’s not true because I'll kill you now”
to her husband.
Nontu: “You're better tell the truth or else” to her
husband.
Sakhi and Thokozani looked at each.
Thami: “Relax they all know about the bet”
Nokwe: “So loving and betting husbands please go and
779 | P a g e
get us our cravings now!”
They all got up kissed their wives’ foreheads Samkelo
kissed my forehead and followed others. Thami was
the only one who was left behind.
Thami: “After Samkelo found out you were pregnant.
He was bragging about it so they turned into a bet”
Thabi: “We have to make them pay yazi”
Nontu: “What we don't have is a Yacht” They laughed
and high five each other.
Thabi: “When they get in here we want them to buy us
Yacht”
Nomxo: “They are behaving like kids now”
Nontu: “I have the best psychologist in town and she
will help you”
Me: “Thanks mtase I'm okay” I faked a smile.
Nomxo: “It's not up for discussion you and Samkelo are
going to see her” she said with authority.
Me: “Okay we'll go”
Thami: “If I'm not mistaken you far apart with weeks or
months”
Me: “I can't believe that you Andile and Thokozani are
from same mother and father” The ladies
laughed. Mthoko came in.
Thami: “You're still here who is fucking bitches on that
side?” This guy though.
Mthoko "You're still crazy dude. Where are the
others?” Mthoko laughing.
Thami: “Those morons went to buy cravings for their
780 | P a g e
wives that why I won't get married to be ordered
around never”
Me: “There's no lady in her right state of mind who will
want to marry your crazy ass” We all laughed him.
Thami: “I'll take two beautiful wives to prove a point”
Nomxo: “Mxm. Uyahlanya wena”
The husbands came in carrying brown paperbags from
Woolworths. They took it out and gave us our food.
Thami: “You won't eat like a pregnant woman. Never!
Yhooo” Thami clapped his hands. Iate a little but
Samkelo forced me to eat so I ended up finish my
food.
Nokwe: “We want a yacht and it’s not up for
discussion”
Tk: “Haah what a bully”
Nomxo: “I want it too”
Thabi: “Husbands are buying yacht for their wives”
Andile gave her a look.
Zee: “We'll hear it from you” Spikes just laughed.
Sakhi: “Majita we better pay up or else their go on a
strike” Thami cracked out laughing.
At 23:30pm they left and I'm with my husband. The
doctor said he'll discharge me after he gets my results
back. My husband stayed with me in the hospital for
three days until the doctor discharged me. My kids face
time me after three days and they were happy. Sihle
was telling about how beautiful the place is while Sma
was telling me the history of the place and Juju was
781 | P a g e
telling me what the place is famous of. I managed to
laugh when I talk to them.
The last two weeks were hard for me and my husband
but we are there for each other and we went
to see the psychologist and she is helping. Our friends
are always with us.
Nokwe: “I cancelled our trip because we can't leave
you behind”
Kat: “I think when they go it will help them just to get
some fresh air”
Me: “I don't think it’s a good idea”
Nomxo: “You'll get the separate room. You need to get
out of this house or else you'll go crazy”
Samkelo: “I'll talk to Mntungwa first then get back to
you”
Nokwe: “Okay please do”
I was struggling to eat but having Samkelo on my case
it better to eat than have him shouting at me for
starving his babies. I always think of how he or she
would have been but the doctor told me that soon or
later it would've happened. When our mothers come
back we'll make a little traditional.
Me: “Babe I need to go to the club I need to check few
things there” All eyes were on me.
Samkelo: “Nompe please don't test me” I kept quiet in
front of our friends just to give him his place as my
husband but tomorrow I'm going there with or without
him.
782 | P a g e
This pregnancy has made him something else. He loves
me too much. Last night I took his Emporia Armani
shirt and slept with it and he didn't say anything. He is
more loving I like it sometimes I think
it too much.
Nokwe: “Samkelo can I have a bite?” He is eating an
Apple.
Samkelo: “Sure” he passed it to her.
Sakhi: “Umfazi wami bru” We all laughed at them.
Nokwe asked an Apple from Samkelo to take a one
small bite and gave it back to him.
Spikes: “Uthandiswa Samkelo” Kat laughed out loud.
Spiro: “Do you remember how Nompe was like when
she was pregnant with Sihle on Ta Kat?”
Spikes: “That was funny. Serving him only”

Chapter 43

Samkelo: “I almost cried at first” We bursted out.

Sakhi: “There's no day we don't speak about you Gazi.
It only makes sense now why she is
complementing your smile spray and laughs. Hawu
Jehova this eight months will be a hell”
Samkelo: “You'll be strong bra” he was laughing out.
Later they left he called his father to tell him about the
783 | P a g e
trip and he said its fine we can go just to get
fresh air. He called Nokwe to confirm that we are going
and she must get us a separate room and she
said we are living in the morning. We are going to
Magaliesburg using two crew buses.
Nokwe: “I can't wait for us to get to the final
destination”
Me: “My feet are killing me”
Sakhi: “At least you going to get foot massage there”
TK: “Please say that again my hands are tired of that
dude” Nontu laughed.
Nontu: “Ncooah too bad for you because you have
eight months to do that”
Kat: “I miss my dude”
Samkelo: “Eish don't say that bra I missed them too but
Sihle said he don't miss us”
Kat: “Sihle is something else. Samkelo was like him but
he is worse than him now” SakhI laughed at
that.
Sakhi: “He once saw me spanking Nokwe's ass and he
said “tight ass” Sakhi bursted out laughing after
imitating his voice. I just closed my eyes.
Samkelo: “Guilty as charged”
Kat: “The last time they visited Uyizwile Nomxo kissed
them in their mouths because she was going
out and when it was Sihle's turned he said “Please kiss
my forehead the lips are for my girlfriend” he
was imitating his voice.
784 | P a g e
Nomxo: “I haven't been shocked by 4 years old like
that” she shook his head.
We entered at a beautiful place. Nature here is breath
taking and the surroundings are also beautiful.
Nokwe told us there are games that we'll play just the
both of us the others we'll be with them. I'm
glad to have a husband like Samkelo who makes sure
that I'm okay and he don't want me to quiet.
The hostess came to and showed us our room and they
also went to their rooms. When we got to our
room I put my phone in the bed and went to the
bathroom.
When I came back he threw my phone on my direction
luckily I ducked.
Me: “What is it now?” I was confused.
Samkelo: “Why he is calling you?”
Me: “Who called me?”
Samkelo: “That stupid ex of yours. Are you still talking
to him?”
Me: “You the one who answered my phone because I
don't have anything to hide. You answer my
calls and you use my phone whenever you want to
because there's nothing I'm hiding so please don't
accuse of something I didn't do and that I'll never do” I
said calmly but with anger. I didn't want to lose
another child because of my high blood pressure.
He took a deep sigh.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry”
785 | P a g e
Me: “I'm taking a walk”
The nature and its surroundings are beautiful. I was
looking around and I bumped into some guy.
Him: “Sorry sisi”
I looked at him and I continue walking because he is
the one who bumped into me.
Me: “I said sorry” he said again. I nodded.
Him: “I'm Thanduxolo and you are?”
Me: “Nompe”
Him: “Would you like something to drink I want to
know you better”
Me: “I can afford to buy my own drink and I don't want
to know you better. I'm married” I showed him a ring
on my finger.
Him: “Feisty I see but I'd like us to talk” he was smiling.
Me: “Nxaa voetsek!” I was pissed.
Him: “Hawu! I was being nice nje”
Me: “Lalela wena masende...”
Samkelo: “Babe I was looking for you all over this
place”
He looked at this guy.
Samkelo: “And then?” he raised hiseyebrow. The guy
became scared.
Him: “I wanted to buy drinks for her nothing more”
Samkelo: “Yeyii sonny Hayi kumfazi wami” with anger.
Him: “Hade” he raised his hands and disappeared.
Samkelo: “Babe I don't like you to leave my sight. Look
I bought you chicken and mayo sandwich”
786 | P a g e
 I gave him a blank stare.
Samkelo: “Okay babe I'm so sorry about accusing you
my love I was out of line. You never gave me the
reason to doubt you you're faithful loving and caring.
My beautiful wife please forgive this ass in front of you
now” I smiled. I really hate being pregnant because his
kids always turn me into a fool.
Me: “Okay let me eat that sandwich then I'm starving”
Samkelo: “I knew it” he giggled.
Me: “Hey Papa don't blame me blame your kids” I
pointed my stomach. He laughed shaking his head.
Me: “Who was that guy vele?” He gave me a confused
look.
Samkelo: “You don't think it’s a coincidence?”
Me: “I don't think so but maybe it was” I was eating the
sandwich he gave me.
After eating we went to join the others. Later we went
for games but we didn't do the mall because all ladies
here are pregnant. We took a bath together later then
we went to sleep early because I'm
“pregnant”
Samkelo: “Please deal with that bitch or else I'll kill
her” he was on the phone.
I got up and went to the bathroom because I was there
already I took the gown off and went to the shower.
Samkelo: “Nompendulo why you don't want to listen?”
Me: “Mxm!” I continue taking a shower. He switched
off water took his gown off and joined me.
787 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I told you that I don't want you to use
shower when you pregnant”
If I do everything he says I'll go crazy. When we were
done taking shower we went to join others for dinner.
We chose the yacht that we wanted and they agreed
on it. Our weekend was great it was
refreshing and I'm glad to be out of the house and be
surrounded by people who cares about me. By the way
I'm three months and two weeks pregnant.
------------
The whole three weeks without seeing them was
torture but they needed some fresh I'm glad they are
coming back today. I woke up tired but I must clean
this house before they come back and cook their
favourite food.
Samkelo: “Babe I think we have to tell them”
Me: “Okay babe but Sihle will hate us for having babies
after him. Sometimes he uses that "I'm their
lastborn" thing on his brother when he wants
something” He laughs.
Samkelo: “We'll deal with it and well explain it to him if
we have to”
He came to kiss me.
Samkelo: “I'll be back babe. I'm meeting the gents if
you want anything or miss me please call me”
Me: “Okay babe. I love you”
He took his car keys and went. I continue with what I
was busy with after that I cooked. When I was done
788 | P a g e
cooking I went to take a shower I wore his t-shirt and
his chino short and jordan sneakers.
Looking at the time I decided to go and check the club
since he isn't here. I took my handbag and Jeep
Cherokee keys.
I can't sit around all day and do nothing. When I arrived
there everything was looking good and it a normal
Wednesday.
Zane: “Boss lady it good to have you back” I smiled.
Me: “Thanks Zane but I'm here to check if everything is
okay”
I went to my office and he followed me. He gave me
the books I checked things are going accordingly and
I'm happy with his job and the whole staff in fact I gave
to thank them food doing their best when
I wasn't here. I'm sure Samkelo didn't tell them that I
miscarried one of quads because Zane didn't
sympathize with me so I won't tell him either.
Me: “Please order the lunch for the whole staff it’s on
me”
Zane: “Thanks Boss lady” he got up and he left the
office.
After doing what I was busy with I took my handbag
and I told Zane on my way out that I'm going home if
he needs something he will give me a call. When I
reach for my car I unlocked it got in and I heard a door
opening on a passenger seat...
Voice: “Give me that ring” it a young man pointing a
789 | P a g e
gun at me.
I laughed sarcastically!
Me: “Listen here young man I've been through enough
if you shoot me now you'll be doing me a
favour but Axe will not rest until he finds you and kill
you like a dog”
The shock in his face all his eyes were out!
Me: “You want me to give the ring that was bought by
Axe for me and give it to you...” I took his gun
quickly from his hand...
Me: “What about I blow you balls out now? Huh?” I'm
looking at him.
Him: “I'm....sorry I.......wanted to....” he was trying to
explain.
Me: “Nxaa voetsek get your ass out of my car now!”
A knock on my side of the window....Shit! Before I
could stroll the window down to talk to him. He was in
the passenger door beating the crap of this amateur.
Me: “Babe! Samkelo!” he didn't stop.
Me: “Axe!!” he stopped.
Luckily this amateur is still alive.
Samkelo: “No one comes near my wife” his voice was
deep mixed with anger. Andile came to my side.
Andile: “Are you okay?”
Me: “I'm okay. He wanted to my wedding ring but he
didn't hurt me”
Samkelo took that boy and threw him in the ground
here in the parking lot. He came to my side.
790 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Move to the other side”
I moved to the passenger seat.
Samkelo: “Sure bra I'll see you later” to Andile.
He drove out. The way on our way home we were both
quiet I know he is angry angry is understatement he's
livid. When we got home he didn't open the door for
me and that explains he don't want to speak to me. I
followed him in the house. He went straight to the
cabin and poured
whiskey he gulped it and poured the second one and
gulped it too.
Thixo onofefe!
Samkelo: “What the fuck were you doing in the club?”
Me: “Babe I'm sorry….”
Samkelo: “Nompendulo don't babe me and I don't
want your sorry I said what the fuck were you doing in
the club!” I'm starting to get scared now.
Me: “Nothing” I didn't want to anger him more than he
is now. He made his way to me.
Samkelo: “Nompendulo don't fuck with me!*he
shouted*.You put yourself and my babies in danger
because of your stubbornness. Why don't you want to
listen?” his voice...I wish I could run away.
Me: “I was bored...here alone and I thought I must
go...... and check things in the club...” I was shaking.
Now he is standing in front of me and I looked down.
Sameklo: “Yazi right now I feel like beating the crap out
of you but I can’t and I won't do it” He roughly grabbed
791 | P a g e
me with my upper arm and pulled me to his chest. He
hugged me tightly. He kissed the top
of my head.
Samkelo: “I love you even though you make me angry
sometimes” I kept quiet because I was still scared. He
moved me from his chest. He kissed me.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm sorry if I scared you but I was angry
and I would never beat you. I promise you” he was
brushing my hand. I just cried.
Samkelo: “Shhhh. Come here” he pulled me to his
chest again and calmed me down. We stood there for
good 20 minutes and we were disturbed by intercom.
He went to open the gate I went upstairs to fix myself. I
heard noise downstairs and their voices. I went there
found them hugging their father.
Me: “Boys?”
They turned to look at me and they screamed and ran
to me...
Them: “Mommy!!” they are screaming.
I hugged them all in once and I cried. I missed n them
so much and I've been going through and them not
being here was torture but I'm glad they are here with
me. I let them go and head to my room I
threw myself in the bed and cried.
Samkelo: “Babe are you okay?” he gently hit my
shoulder.
Me: “I'm okay”
Samkelo: “I know how you are feeling right now but we
792 | P a g e
have to accept and let our angel’s soul to rest
in peace” I broke down after he said those words. He
held me tight and we both cried.
When I was calm I went to bathroom to fix myself
again. He did that too. We went downstairs I found
mom and grandma taking gifts bags out.
Grandma: “Mkhwenyana this is for you. And you
Nompe” she gave us gift bags. We thank her mom
did that too we thank them.
Sma: “Mom Dad I got you something” He gave us little
boxes.
Juju: “Me too I got you something” He also gave us
boxes.
Sihle: “I'm sorry guys I didn't buy you anything. I'm
litelary broke” he emptied his hands showing us he
doesn’t have nothing. We both cracked out laughing.
Sihle: “I'm kidding I got you something” he gave us
something nicely wrapped. It feels a bit heavy I wonder
what it is.
Me: “Thanks for the gifts my sweethearts”
Samkelo: “Thanks family”
I offered mom and grandma something to eat but we
must talk so I told boys to go to their room. They took
their suitcases but Sihle left his at the begging of the
stairs because he can't carry them.
Mom: “My baby I'm so sorry for your loss” I felt tears in
my eyes again but I don't want to cry now.
Grandma: “Sorry Nana for not telling you about your
793 | P a g e
own pregnancy but we didn't want to stress you”
Me: “I was sad and disappointed in you but my
husband explained it to me now I understand that it
was not good for me and my babies. You were all
forced to take a harsh decision” I was holding tears.
Grandma: “Don't hold them Nana” she was brushing
my shoulder. I blinked repeatedly holding my
tears but they came uncontrollable I saw my husband
getting up and he disappeared around the house. I
cried in my grandma's shoulder and we were disturbed
by Mntungwa's voice.
Mntungwa: “Sanibonani bakhwekazi”
Grandma: “Ninjani Mntungwa?”
Mntungwa: “Siphilile singezwakini”
Grandma: “Sikhona yizonjeLezi esizizwayo”
I left the room to cover my head and wear something
representable. I found Samkelo in our room his mind
was far away and his jaws tighten.
Me: “Mntungwa Mbulaziomnyama Mzilikazika
Mashobane” He turned and gave me a soft look. He
likes it when I recite his clan names.
Samkelo: “Mhhm it makes me feel like a king” That
smile...
Me: “Hayi Khumalo don't give me that look” I went to
closet. I found a navy long dress and pink doek
I wore it in the closet I didn't want to give him
something to excite him.
Samkelo: “This is torture but I let this go just once” he
794 | P a g e
bites his lower lip.
I left him like that I went to make tea for the elders. I
founded MaNdlovu in the kitchen I greeted and started
to make coffee and she made it for her husband. After
they were done they called us to tell
us that next weekend we are going for cleansing and
naming ceremony for our baby.
They left for Mtunzini after Mntungwa and his wife
went also. We bath our boys we ate. After we went to
the lounge to watch tv as a family.
Samkelo: “Babe let's open our gifts” They laughed at
us. He is excited as I am to open our gifts.
I started with the one I got from granny. It was a gold
necklace. Samkelo got a men gold necklace from
granny I laughed at him. Mom bought us Louis Vitton
overnight bags for both of us. Sma bought us necklace
or let me say pendents with their photo just three of
them I like it. Juju bought us necklace too with our
names engraved on it I like it too. Sihle gave us one gift
when we opened it our photo as
a family we were all wearing tracksuits and Jordan
sneakers. I like it too. I kissed their foreheads and
thank them again.
Them: “Mom please hang our photo in the wall”
Me: “Okay my babies daddy will do it tomorrow
morning”
Samkelo cleared his throat. We all looked at him. Sma
lowered the volume on the tv because he knows when
795 | P a g e
his father clears his throat like this there's something
important he wants to say or speak.
Samkelo: “Boys your mother and I have something to
tell you”
They nodded. He looked at me and I shook my head.
Samkelo: “We going to have other babies in the house”
They nodded.
Sihle got up angrily.
Samkelo: “Sihlelelwe come back here and sit down” his
voice was calm but commanding. He came
back sat down with tears.
Samkelo: “Having other babies don't mean we don't
love you or we will neglect you. We still love you
and you boys are our little champs okay?”
Juju & Sma: “Okay” Sihle didn't say anything.
Samkelo: “We lost one baby out of our babies in your
mother’s womb” he continues. He closed his
eyes and open them again. Sihle just cried out loud.
Juju & Sma : “Sorry mom”
Me: “Thanks boys” I don't want to cry in front of them.
Sihle came to stand in front of me.
Sihle: “I'm sorry mom I didn't mean to be a bad boy
sorry” he was crying. I pulled him into my chest
and hush him until he calms down. Sihle is crazy rude
and all but he is too sensitive.
Me: “It okays my boy”
Later they went to their bedroom. We talk about the
ceremony that is coming after we went to our
796 | P a g e
bedroom. We took a bath and went to bed. He kissed
me deeply.
Samkelo: “I love you” after pulling out.
Me: “I love you too”
We heard a knock.
Sihle: “Mom rude and all but he is too sensitive.
Me: “It okays my boy”
Later they went to their bedroom. We talk about the
ceremony that is coming after we went to our
bedroom. We took a bath and went to bed. He kissed
me deeply.
Samkelo: “I love you” after pulling out.
Me: “I love you too”
We heard a knock.
Sihle: “Mom Dad please open up” He laughed while
getting up to open for him.
They came in carrying food.
Them: “We came with food we know it will make you
feel better”
Me: “Ncooah. Thanks babies” Samkelo was amused.
They put all the food they came with on top of
our bed. We all ate I cleaned up after and we all slept
in our bed.
In the morning I woke up alone in the bed. I went to
take a bath when I came back the bed was made
and I know he made it. I more a skinny jean and white
shirt and slippers. I went downstairs I found
them in the kitchen and it was a mess. They all had
797 | P a g e
flour in their faces i took my phone and take a
picture of them. They were making pancakes with their
father. I helped on setting the table.
Me: “Thanks for the breakfast”
Sihle: “It our pleasure” my hyper Sihle.
We ate and I have a lunch with Zee today in town. I put
dishes to the dishwasher put laundry in
washing. Mam'S is coming back today she won't start
from scratch tomorrow. We watch movies after
I went to change my shirt and to a dusty pink V-shirt
and black red bottom heels and Gucci handbag
and my weave of course.
Samkelo: “Mhm what a hot and sexy wife I have” he
was behind me.
Me: “Mhm Bab'Khumalo please don't look at me like
that because that look can make me undress in
a second” I was applying a dark plum matte lipstick. He
laughed hard. He came close and spank my
ass.
Samkelo: “Mhm tight ass” I heard him breathing in my
ear.
Me: “I'm running late already babe. When I come back
I'll be all yours” I turned to him pecked his lips
and went out quickly before he changes my mind.
What I hate is being drive around like I don't know how
to drive! Bloody bodyguards! That what I hate
with my husband sometimes. Having me followed or
having bodyguards wherever I go just hate it. I
798 | P a g e
got in and he drove out. I arrived early. I ordered juice
while I was waiting for Zee.
Voice: “Nompendulo” with funny accent. When I lifted
my head it a white guy but his accent sounds
like Russian accent...I raised my eyebrows because I've
never seen this guy.
My bodyguards we on my side within a blink of an eye.
Him: “Daughter of Paul Mazibuko”
Me: “Sorry who you are because I don't know you” I
was really confused.
Him: “Your father was a great friend of mine. I know
you since you were young with your sister” he
was still standing.
Me: “Your name?”
Him: “Sergè Vermezovic” he stretched his hand for
hand shaking. Well I don't do that to strangers.
Him: “It was nice to see you” he left.
I'm still confused by this man who was here. Zee came
and sat in that moment.
Zee: “And then? That face?” she called the waiter. The
waiter took our order.
Me: “There was a man here who said he....He was my
father's friend and his accent...Mxm any way
how you are?” I'm still confused by that man but I'm
not here for that.
Zee: “I'm fine cuz it just that this one here*pointing to
her tummy*makes me lazy hungry sad happy
and all that. And you how are you holding up?”
799 | P a g e
Me: “I'm doing okay. With my family and friend's
support is everything that I need and I'm glad I have
you guys in my life”
Zee: “We're family friends and everything so if you
need or want something please don't hesitate to
call me anytime of the night” Our order came and we
ate and our conversation was silly. When we
were done I ordered food for my family and she did
that too.
We both got up my bodyguards came and we went to
the parking lot got in the car and drove home.
When I arrived they were all sleeping including their
father in the lounge. I took the pictures again I
need to make album with these photos. I went to put
food on the warmer.
Samkelo: “You back” in that deep sexy sleepy voice of
his.
Me: “Yes babe I'm back and I brought food”
Samkelo: “You knew that I'll be hungry when you come
back?” His being himself now.
Me: “It's just that I know my husband and that's called
a caring and loving wife” I pouted my lips. He smiled
and shook his head.
Me: “Yazi babe something strange happened earlier
on. There's a man who greeted me he restaurant
with funny accent I can say it Russian he said he was a
friend of my father” He raised his one eyebrow
Samkelo: “He didn't tell you his name”
800 | P a g e
Me: “Sergé Ver.....What what I don't remember”
Samkelo: “Sergé Vermezovic?” his eyes were all out.
Me: “Yes he said that. Do you know him?”
Samkello: “Please call your mother to confirm that if
not....”he is thinking hard. His jaw tightens.
What is wrong with this man here?
Me: “If not?” I want to know about that man.
He gave me his phone to call my mom.
Me: “Mom”
Mom: “Nompe. Are you okay?”
Me: “Yes mom I'm okay. Earlier today I met a man with
a name of Serge Vermezovic and he said he
was a good friend of dad”
Mom: “What? Fuck!” She became angry suddenly.
Me: “Mom you're swearing”
Mom: “Don't speak to that man ever again okay?”
Me: “Why?”
Mom: “Nompe maarn don't ask me why I said don't
ever speak to him. If he ever contacts you again
tell me ASAP okay?” she is yelling now.
Me: “Okay okay I'll tell you” She hangs up
immediately.
Who is this man that makes her angry this much? My
mom is swearing. She is angry.
Me: “Babe she told me that I mustn't speak to that
man ever again” He isn't listening to me.
He took his phone and called.
Samkelo: “Grootman things are about to get messy”
801 | P a g e
I can't hear what Kat says because he isn't on
loudspeaker.
Samkelo: “Sure” he hung.
He took the food and called the boys to come and take
their food. They came sat on the bar stools
and ate their food. These kids eat just like their father.
They don't want to eat pizza for supper now.
After an hour Kat came with Andile I didn't knew that
he was in town. I prepared a quick meal for them
knowing that Samkelo would be hungry because he ate
the food that wasn't prepared by his wife. I took the
tray to the study room. They laughed when I came in.
Andile: “Queen ka Axe” I giggled more like blushing.
Me: “I hope you good gentlemen"
Kat: “We good”
After greeting I left the room to start cooking. I'm going
to cook roasted chicken with roasted potatoes
and butternut and green salad. I told boys to go and
play upstairs because when they start to sound
like revving cars you won't stand it. When I was done I
went to the lounge to rest...
Vuma dlozi elungubaba
Vuma dlozi elungubaba
Me: “Juju? Come here” why he is standing with
Sangomas? I don't understand. Izangoma ziyagida
lana.
Me: “Juju! Juju!” I'm shouting now. He is standing far
away from with people I don't know he is starting
802 | P a g e
to piss me off now.
He is standing to some woman who looks exactly like
me but I don't understand why. She is wearing
izinto zezangoma and Juju too.
Me: “Juju! Juju! Juju! Come here now!” I'm shouting
again. He can't hear me because he’s far from
me.
Voice: “Nompendulo!” When I turned it was an old
woman.
Old woman: "Ko mele umsindise umtwana. Yabona
lento iyomsindisa. (You must save him . See this
will save "-her.
Me: “Ngizoyithatha kephi lembali Mina gogo? (Where
will I find this flower granny?)”
Old woman: “Uzoyithola phezu koMthavuna....” she
said those words and diseappeared.
Me: “Juju! Juju! Juju maarn come here before I beat
you now!” I'm crying now. He just stood there
looking at me. He turned his back on me. I cried out
loud!........
“Babe! Nompe! Vuka” When I opened my eyes it was
Samkelo and Juju was standing next to his father
crying.
Me: “I was dreaming” after catching my breath. Andile
gave me water to drink.
Samkelo: “Babe Juju is scared because you were
shouting his name when he came here you didn't say
anything and you were crying”
803 | P a g e
Me: “Come here baby. Mommy was dreaming and you
were there I was scared....” I was hushing him.
When he was calm I took him to his brothers I bath
them. After we all went to eat joined by Andile
and Kat. My kids love Kat in fact all their uncles.
Sihle: “Where is Mthoko?”
Me: “Sihlelelwe is Uncle Mthoko your friend?” He
shook his head no.
Me: “You'll answer me when I'm talking to you. Is he
your friend?”
Sihle: “No”
Me: “Why are you call him by his name?”
Sile: “I'm sorry mom”
Me: “You better be sorry. Next time I'll beat your flat
ass” They all laughed at him around the table.
I discipline my kids I don't want them to be rude. When
they are wrong I give them a hiding when
Samkelo is not around though. Samkelo's phone rings.
Samkelo: “Please excuse me. I have to take it” he got
up.
Sihe: “Mom why don't you shout at dad because he
answered...”
Sma: “Please shut up. Dad is old and he said “excuse
me”
Me: “Thanks Sma”
Sihle: “But mom”
Me: “Please shut up and eat your food”
When we were done eating I cleared the table. They
804 | P a g e
went to lounge Samkelo was still on the phone
I think. I took his food put it on a warmer. I joined the
others to the lounge. I found Kat and Andile
drinking I'm glad I don't have to serve them even drinks
because they know everything in this house.
I told the kids to go to sleep.
Me: “There's something bothering me here”
Kat: “Serge Vermezovic I guess”
Me: “Yes him. Who is he?”
Andile: “A dangerous notorious gangster from
overseas”
What confuse me here is that man is gangster a good
friend of my father or he is just saying nje.
Me: “I need to know more about this guy”
Samkelo: “There's nothing more you need to know”
Me: “Why?”
Samkelo: “Tomorrow early in the morning I have to go
to Limpopo there's big case I have to attend
there. The client wants me personal to be his
representative so I have to go"-him.
Me: “It was good to see you. I have to prepare his
things before I sleep”
Kat: “Thanks for the dinner Makoti” We all laughed.
Me: “You sound more like Mntungwa now” I got up.
I went to our bedroom. Took his five suits packed them
in a luggage and everything that he will need.
As wife you to make sure your husband looks good all
the time because whenever he looks bad people
805 | P a g e
look at you so I make sure that my husband is clean all
the times. After I took a shower he came in
the room when I was about to get in bed.
Samkelo: “Are you okay babe?”
Me: “I'm okay babe”
Samkelo: “I thought you'll be angry”
Me: “Knowing your wife surely you know that I will find
whatever I want to know or need so babe relax. Please
go and take a shower I need you here”
Samkelo: “I don't want to bath today” he threw himself
on bed.
Me: “Oh God another Sihle” He laughed hard. He gets
up take his clothes off and hit the shower I must
pick up after him. Jeez!
He jumped into bed...
Me: “Hayi babe maarn!” I'm little bit pissed.
He crawled to me and kissed me senseless. His hands
were all over my body. His scent touch and
everything does wonders to me.... We made love all
the night....
At 04:30 am he was ready to go. He went to kiss boy’s
goodbye I kissed him until my blood warmed
up again!
Samkelo: “Nkosikazi Khumalo you'll make me to cancel
this trip” after he pulled out.
Me: “You know that I can't get enough of you”
Samkelo: “When I come back I'll take kids to the
pensioners so that we can have our time” he has a
806 | P a g e
smirk on his face.
Me: “Okay. I love you. Safe travels babe” I hugged him
and kissed his cheek. He spanks me. I smile. He
opens the door and I went back to the bedroom. I
heard his car going out.
I slept immediately because I was so tired.
“Mom! Mom! Wake up” When I opened my eyes it
Sma. I yawn rubbing my eyes.
Sma: “He doesn’t want to wake up” he is in a verge of
tears.
Me: “Who don't want to wake up?” I sat up
immediately.
Sma: “Juju he doesn’t want to wake up” Sihle came in
crying. I took my gown wore it and headed to their
room.
Me: “Juju wake up” I'm gently shaking him.
He is quiet.
Me: “Juju I'm not playing games with you wake up” I'm
starting to shake him little bit rough.
Sma: “Mom...I tried maybe...5 times...but he
didn't"...wake up. Even Sihle.... tried but he didn't” he
was crying.
I don't know what's wrong with my son but I must take
him to the hospital.
Me: “Go and take my phone in my bedroom Sma” my
voice is high.
Me: “Sihle take your gown and Sma's gown” I went to
their closet took a blanket gave it to Sma. I took
807 | P a g e
another cover Juju I picked him up. Went down the
stairs with him and them following me.
Me: “Sihle open the door”
He opened the door. I remembered that I didn't take
the car keys. I rushed to the kitchen to take a
crew bus keys we went outside got in a car buckle
them and I drove out. I drove like a minaic to the
hospital. They attended him. Fuck I must call my
husband. “Fuck! He is on the plane” I said to myself
I dialled Kat's number...
Me: “He doesn’t.... Don't wake up and... I'm scared”
Kat: “Woah slow down and calm down” I took a deep
breath.
Me: “He doesn’t wake up and we tried to wake him up
but he doesn’t wake. I'm at the hospital now”
Kat: “Okay I'm coming right now” he hung up. I called
mom Mntungwa Andile and Zee.
When I tried to call Samkelo again it went straight to
voicemail. Kat arrives.
Kat: “Where is Juju?”
Me: “He is in the ward doctors are busy with him” I
broke down. He hugged me.
Kat: “I thought it was Samkelo who don't want to wake
up”
Me: “He went early in the morning when they were
sleeping... They came to my room and they told
me that don't want to wake up when I went there I
tried to wake him up but he didn't” I'm crying.
808 | P a g e
Kat: “Please come down. It's not good for you and the
babies”
Mntungwa MaNdlovu and Mam'S came in waiting
room. I told them what happened. After some
hours the doctor came.
Doc: “Samkelo Khumalo Jr family” We all get up.
Me: “Yes doctor. What's wrong with him? I'm his
mother”
Doc: “We are running tests Ma’am but the bad news is
he is in life support because he can't breathe
on his own”
When I woke up I was in bed. Hospital bed my mother
was on the side of the bed I'm sleeping on.
Mom: “Nana how are you feeling?” she was brushing
my hair.
Me: “How is my baby?”
Mom: “Doctors are taking care of him”
Me: “How did I ended up here?” I'm confused and my
head is killing me.
Mom: “You fainted earlier on. Nana please take things
easy”
Kat entered he is over the phone.
Kat: “Don't fuck with me wena. I told you to find him
two hours ago but still he isn't here”
He is angry.
Kat: “Nxaa find him and tell him to come back here
ASAP”he hung up after that.
I'm sure he wants Samkelo to come back.
809 | P a g e
Kat: “How are you feeling now?”
Me: “I'm feeling okay but my heading is killing me”
Kat: “Samkelo's phone is still off but I found someone
on that side to tell him to come back here as
soon as possible”
Me: “Thanks for doing this for me. I really appreciate”
Kat: “No need to thank me we're family. Ladies are
here to see you”
Me: “Please let them in"

Chapter 44

Mom: “Kat I would like to speak to you” I wonder what

they are going to talk about.
My girls came in looking beautiful as always.
Nontu: “Mtase”
Thabi & Nokwe: “Friend”
Zee: “Mzala”
It like they are singing.
Me: “Yazi I feel like laughing. Nompe would be better”
Them: “Mxm!”
Nontu: “We brought fruits for you and books to read”
Me: “Thanks darlings but I need my laptop”
Nomxo: “I knew it” when she gets in with my laptop
bag.
Nontu: “Because the hour can't pass without you
810 | P a g e
touching your laptop”
Me: “Tell me bitches why your husbands let you go
alone when you this hot” changing the subject.
They laughed hard.
Nokwe: “Shut up your pregnant bitch”
Nomxo: “We all pregnant Nokwe”
Me: “Mxm!”
I saw grandma lastly. They went at night. My kids are at
Umhlanga at pensioner's house. Even our kids
call them pensioners they take it from Lwandile the
most.
I asked the nurse to go and check on Juju she said I'm
not allowed to leave the bed unless I'm going to
the toilet. I took my laptop check on our system and
everything is okay. Whenever bad things happen
our enemies strike so I need to be sure because I can't
afford to reckless. I closed my laptop put it
aside and closed my eyes...
There's something happening it like I'm dreaming. I feel
like I'm floating in this bed. I feel cold air....
“Don't tell me what to do she is my wife so voetsek!”
I can hear people talking but I can't open my eyes.
“Babe!”
I heard something like electricity across my face.
“Nompendulo maarn!”
I managed to open my eyes slowly...
Samkelo: “Babe!” he shouted.
My husband is here with me.
811 | P a g e
Me: “Samkelo?” my voice is shaky.
Samkelo: “Yes my love it me Samkelo” he pulled a
blanket.
Samkelo: “Don't ever do that shit again” he held my
hand.
What the fuck happened?
Me: “Did you slap me?”
Samkelo: “What I was supposed to do when you were
like that? Huh?”
I didn't answer to that stupid question.
Samkelo: “What happened to Juju?”
Me: “Sma tried to wake him up but he didn't even Sihle
tried to but he didn't. They came to wake me
up to tell me that he doesn’t want to wake. I went to
their room shook him more than twice but he
didn't wake up so I rushed him here”
Samkelo: “And you BP went high and you fainted?” I
nodded.
Me: “Please talk to these nurses to allow me to go and
see Juju” changing the subject.
Samkelo: “Don't fucken dare do that when I'm talking
to you. Don't!” he roared.
I didn't answer him I bowed my head.
Me: “Nompendulo” He wants me to explain myself...
Me: “Mbulaz’omnyama what I was supposed to react
when the doctor told me that Juju is on life
support because he can't breathe on his own and you
were not there with me when that happened”
812 | P a g e
I'm trying to calm him down.
He took a deep breath.
Samkelo: “That won't work” calmly. It worked.
Samkelo: “What is the cause?” on a lower deep voice.
Me: “The doctor said they are running test” He raised
his eyebrows.
Me: “Khumalo calm down. I hope in the morning they
will tell us something better” I can't have him angry
right now.
He went out after some time I think he went to smoke
just to clear his head. He does that when he is
stressed.
In the morning the doctors discharged me and I went
to see my boy. So many pipes on him.
Me: “Baby it me your mother. Please wake up my love
your dad and I need you so much and your
brothers. I know you can hear me baby please wake up
for me and your unborn siblings to meet their
old brother. Please my baby boy” tears were streaming
down my cheeks.
I kissed his forehead.
Samkelo: “Ntwana yami. I need you to come back to us
your family we need your young genius. Come
back so that you can clean my sneakers they are dirty
ntwana yami” he brushed Juju's forehead. We
both kissed his forehead and hands then we exited the
ward.
A week passed still nothing the doctors say there's is
813 | P a g e
nothing wrong with him. Samkelo pulled a gun
on Doctor Phillips when he told us that luckily his
brother was there. I went to his school to explain his
situation they sent him cards and flowers.
Sma cries every day since school has reopened saying
that he wants his brother so that they can go to
school together. My hyper Sihle is not himself ever
since his brother was admitted he don't want to eat.
I'm at home preparing to go to hospital. Samkelo
sleeps there and comes in the morning to change
and take to hospital. Sihle don't go to his crèche
because he is stress he can't even focus and we let him
be.
Our drive is silence. When we get there we found Big
four reading him stories. I'm glad to have such
supportive like them.
Me: “Thanks guys” when we enter in his ward.
Mbuso: “We are his uncles so there's no need to thank
us”
I sat on chair next to his bed. I greet him and kiss his
hand. I'm feeling so tired but I must be here. Big
four went to buy us food.
Samkelo: “This better be happening naturally because
if it some thug I swear I will kill the whole
Durban” in the creepiest voice.
Me: “We have to be sure....”
I suddenly felt sleepy and it was forcing me to close my
eyes....
814 | P a g e
Voice: “Nompendulo yini ungafuni ukulalela?”
Me: “Ngani gogo?”
Voice: “Ngakutshela ngathi sindisa umntwana. Buka
Manje umntwana unjani!” she was shouting at
Khuluma dlozi elungubaba
Khuluma dlozi elungubaba ( ohh khuluma dlozi)
Khuluma dlozi elungubaba (ohh khuluma dlozi).........
Me: “Juju! Juju!” I shouted him trying to wake him up.
Voice: “Imbali uzoyithola phezu ko Mthavuna!......” she
said that loud and it caused me to wake up...
Why everyone here is looking at me like I'm crazy?
I got up and something came to me and told me to sing
that song...
Khuluma dlozi elungubaba
Khuluma dlozi elungu baba ( ohh khuluma dlozi)
I kept singing the song the until I was in my knees and
my voice changed. I saw Juju fighting violently.
I heard them shouting for doctors. Samkelo took me
out as I stepped outside his ward I felt like it wasn't me
who was there in that ward. We found others in the
waiting room.
Me: “I have to go uMthavuna river now”
Silence.
All eyes on me.
Samkelo: “Hayi uyahlanya wena”
Me: “Samkelo now! Take me to uMthavuna river I need
to save my child now we don't have time”
Samkelo: “I'm not going there”
815 | P a g e
Mntungwa: “Let's go Makoti” Samkelo look at his
father.
Samkelo: “Let's go. I swear if you do something stupid
I'll kill you” I know he mean it.
Them: “Hayibo!”
I took my handbag and followed him. Big four said they
will follow usso that the elders will stay behind.
Me: “Please drive fast Samkelo we don't have time” as
I sit on the passenger sit.
Samkelo: “If you want to die please take out my kids on
your womb and then die alone” I don't want
to entertain him. He called Kat on the way to tell him
about this. Knowing my husband I know he
thinks this is ridiculous and useless. At least he knows
the river that we going to.
After some hours we reach to the river I saw the flower
that I saw in my dream.
Me: “There's a flower that I'm looking for” I pointed it
but it far from us. It surrounds the river. I took
a paper bag that was in a car took off my shoes get off
from the car. He followed me and he is smoking.
When I was near to the flowers I threw his cigarette
away I carefully picked the flower put them on the
paperbag and take my way back to the car. I got it and
he got in Big four did that too and we drove
back to Durban.
When we got in Durban his phone rang.
Samkelo: “Yes”
816 | P a g e
I can't hear what the other person says on the phone.
Samkelo: “What? Okay. Thanks for me know” he hung
up.
Me: “Is there something wrong?”
Samkelo: “No. No. It work babe” he focused on the
road.
Mxm!
When we arrived at the hospital we went straight to
his ward.
I repeated the same song again as I entered in the
ward.
Nurse: “Mrs Khumalo please step outside....”
Samkelo: “Please let her do anything she thinks that
will help him”
Nurse: “If you don't step outside I'll be forced to”
Samkelo took his gun out.
Andile: “SK bra there's no need for that” he came out
of nowhere.
Samkelo: “You couldn't do anything to help him but
you here talking nonsense”
Andile: “Nurse please excuse us. Please let's get in” The
nurse walked away as fast as she can.
Samkelo has turned into something else.
Some spirit took over my body and mind. I continued
singing the song I was singing before I was
disturbing by a nurse. I took out the flower I made Juju
to hold some of the flowers and other I put it on my
palm rubbed my hands together after I rubbed it to
817 | P a g e
Juju's face arms legs and feet. I took a
chair when I was done sat on it. I felt sleepy all a
suddenly again....
When I woke up my husband was sitting next to me.
Samkelo: “Are you okay babe?”
Me: “I'm fine”
Samkelo: “It worked babe thanks for everything he
woke up but he is sleeping for now”
Me: “Really!?” I can't believe. A dream helped me to
help my baby to wake up.
Samkelo: “Shhhhe is still sleeping sweetheart2
I got up and he was breathing on his own but he is
sleeping for now.
Me: “I need some fresh air” I got up from the chair I
was sitting in. I went to the waiting room I found
Mntungwa and mom talking more like whispering...
Mom: “He is trying to mess with my kids now”
Mntungwa: “I'll talk to him”
Mom: “Please do because I'll have to...” she was
disturbed by her phone. I came in greeted them.
She went out speaking with phone. She is busy these
days ever since I told him about that Serges he
is too busy.
Mntungwa: “Thanks to you and the ancestors to help
my grandson Makoti”
Me: “Yebo baba” I sat on the chair.
Samkelo: “I thought it was madness and useless but
now I see it really help him a lot”
818 | P a g e
I didn't hear him coming in. He likes to sneak in.
The Big four came in laughing.
Lwandile: “Pops”
Mntungwa: “Sure boys” Hayi my kids have a
grandfather shame!
Lwandile: “Pops can I use your petrol card?”
Mntungwa: “Why?” he pulled a straight face.
Lwandile: “I've reached my limit” he was scratching his
head.
Mntungwa: “Yazi!” he gave him a stare for a very long
time until he took the card and gave it to him.
Samkelo: “Can I please use it dad?”
Mntungwa: “Uyanya!” he said that loud and it caused
us to laugh.
Samkelo: “Haah tiama but Lwandile is going to use it
and he is working just like me”
Mntungwa: “Hayi Samkelo. You have your own things
now. Lwandile is still young”
Samkelo: “Mhm...Thando and Lwandile I see”
Mntungwa: “Heeey I still thank God for having money
while I have a fighter like Thando. That child knows
how to clean your bank account. Yhooo!”
He is cracking jokes today.
Mntungwa: “Wena Lwandile you better work hard boy
because Amahle is a young version of Thando”
Samkelo: “Haaah Amahle forced me to pay R1500 just
for a lipstick” Haah I don't know this one.
Mbuso: “Haah that one is so persuasive and bossy just
819 | P a g e
like her Aunt”
Kat: “Tiama be prepared she is town” as he enters.
Mntungwa: “Hawu kodwa Thixo. You'll swear she is still
studying”
Kat: “She is at my house but I don't want her there my
wife is pregnant I don't want her to be stressed
by Thando”
Samkelo: “I don't want her too!”
Mbuso: “She has to buy her own house”
Mntungwa: “I’m not paying for it” Hawu shame poor
old man.
The doctor said he is doing just fine. My phone rings...
Voice: “Mrs Khumalo”
Me: “Yes its Mrs Khumalo”
Voice: “Uhm Smamukele Khumalo has been injured
and we are rushing him to hospital”
Me: “What happened?”
Voice: “He was involved in a fight”
Me: “Please bring him to Netcare near Zimbali”
Voice: “Okay ma'am I'll do that” she hung up.
Samkelo: “What's wrong now?”
Me: “Smamukele is injured they are rushing him here
as we speak” with a sigh.
Sphe: “There's something wrong here. Sma is a
disciplined boy he doesn’t like to fight”
Mbuso: “That's true I wouldn't be surprised if it was
Sihle but Sma”
Samkelo: “I need to do this ceremony as soon as
820 | P a g e
possible. Dad this coming Thursday I'm doing it. My
kids keep on getting sick” he was breathing fast.
Kat: “Samkelo calm down”
Samkelo is right our kids keep on getting sick or
injured. I wonder what the hyper one is doing at
home.
Mam’S: “Sanibonani” She is with Spikes. I think she
called him to come and fetch her. Sihle is on Spikes
arm sleeping.
Me: “Please pass him here” He woke up when I took
him.
Sihle: “Mom”
Me: “Yes my boy”
Sihle: “You didn't call today. I sent a text to Uncle
Spikes on WhatsApp to come and fetch us” He doesn’t
amaze me anymore.
Samkelo: “Is he talking the truth Spikes?” Spikes
nodded.
Samkelo: “Thanks to Mthoko and Lwandile”
Lwandile: “He once opened Mthoko's laptop. What
amazed me is Mthoko has password on his laptop
how Sihle managed to open it?” Sihle hid his face with
his little hands. He is something else.
Kat: “He'll be a computer guru like his mother”
Mbuso: “You can say that again”
Me: “Juju is a wake but he is sleeping for now” I
whispered to him.
Sihle: “Yeeeeeeeey! Juju is alive!! Yeeeeeey! Mom take
821 | P a g e
me to him now i want to see him” he screamed
playing with his legs. My kids fight every single day but
they love each other.
Me: “Okay I'll take you to him but promise me you
won't make noise there”
Sihle: “I promise I promise!” he is standing on his feet
now jumping up and down.
Sihle: “Uncle Zipho I'm feeling hungry now. I like to eat
pizza”
Mntungwa: “Thando's genes” We laughed.
I took him to Juju's ward and I told bodyguards to keep
an eye on him because he is handful. I went
to see Sma when he arrived. He is crying and I don't
like it when my kids are crying I feel like I can do
something bad to whoever hurt them. They attended
him luckily Sihle didn't see this or else he
would've cried until he falls asleep.
After 2 hours the doctor came.
Doc: “The bone on his arm is broken but we put a
concrete on it”
Me: “He'll be fine right?”
Doc: “He'll be fine Ma’am but I've sedated him for
now”
Kat: “Can in it happened to move him on his ward and
put him together with Samkelo Junior
Khumalo?”
Doc: “Yes it can arrange it”
Kat: “Please do”
822 | P a g e
Doc: “Wait... Are you Doctor Khumalo?”
Kat: “It depends who is asking”
Doc: “I love your work on medical products it amazing
and wonderful”
Kat: “Thanks for the complements”
The doctor asked Kat to speak in private with him.
Lwandile: “I want to be a doctor too”
Mntungwa: “Clubs will shut down for good” This old
man in on another level today.
After an hour Sma was moved to Juju's ward and it
better for therm to be in one ward for their safety.
Me: “How are you feeling boy?
Sma: “Its painful mommy” with tears. I wiped them
with my thumbs.
Me: “What happened my boy?”
Sma: “There's some old boy at school said my brother
Juju is dying I got angry and we fought. He took
a steel and hit me in the arm”
Me: “Do you know him?”
Sma: “I don’t know him mom”
Me: “I'm sorry to hear that my boy but your brother is
awake now”
Juju: “Ntwana what happened to your arm?” His voice
is shaky but deep and hoarse like his father.
Sma told him the same story he told me but when he
described the boy to Juju he said he don't know
that boy oke Sma said. My question here is who this
boy is who hit my son with a steel on the arm.
823 | P a g e
Me: “Babies mom has to go I will see you in the
morning” I kissed their cheeks. Exited the ward when
straight to the waiting I told Lwandile to take me
home. Tomorrow morning I'm going to Glenwood
primary school I need an explaination and the name of
the boy if not...
I found my husband home drinking his brains out.
Mbuso: “Yhooo what the fuck?”
Me: “I have four kids actually” I whispered.
They didn't stay after dropping me. I went to cook for
him in case he wakes up in the middle of the
night and say he wants food. I made sandwich and ate
that when I realised I'm this hungry I ordered
two double pizza. The stress I have right now you but I
thank God for protecting the little lives inside
me.
I switched on the tv just to buy time before I sleep....
Pictures of us as a gang on our black and mustard
scarves clothes. Samkelo and I carrying axes riding
bikes TaKat Andile Spikes but mainly the Durban
branch. I quickly got up and look behind the tv there
is black USB inserted.
Me: “There was a bastard in my house!” I shouted.
Which makes me think there could be bugs and hidden
cameras. I took Samkelo's phone on the coffee
table and called his brother.
Kat: “Ntwana”
Me: “Sorry it me”
824 | P a g e
Kat: “Okay”
Me: “There was a bastard in my house who inserted a
USB in the tv please call the others and I will do
on my side” I speak quickly.
Kat: “Fuck! Let's prepare for war! Thanks for warning
me” he hung up.
I called Spiro Thokozani and others. Kat do that too
luckily those who their wives don't know about
their gangster lives got off the hook. Luckily!
Half an hour Andile was in my house searching for bug
and cameras and he got plenty of them.
Andile: “Whoever is doing this will be slices when we
find him or her”
Me: “Do you think this person who did can be the one
who hurt my child in school?”
Andile: “It can be...But the question is who”
Me: “I don't know. I thought of tracing those pictures
in the USB but I think there's virus in that USB
which can delete everything in my laptop so that they
will gain information from us”
Andile: “Mhm. Which is true because you were the first
one to see it” thinking.
Silence.
Andile & I: “Serge”
Andile: “Fuck!”
Me: “I think Felicia Nyathikazi is teaming up with him
to feed information about us”
Samkelo: “That bitch!”
825 | P a g e
Later he went back to his house I slept alone Samkelo
slept in study room I don't care about it my
main concern is this Serge so is here to cause havoc.
When I woke up in the morning I found red roses on
his side of the bed with a card written:
Morning my beautiful wife
When you wake up you'll find in the kitchen
I love you
Your Husband
I know Andile came here in the wee hours to tell him
about what happened yesterday. What he is
doing right now he wants to make me feel better so
that he can remove from this matter. If he thinks
he will remove me he must think twice because I
won't. With or without his approval or permission
I'm going to find the person who hurt my boy at
school.
I took the gown and wore it. When I opened the door
in our bedroom exiting to the passage. Rose
petals were on the passage making their way down the
stairs and I followed them. In the kitchen floor
there's a mat cushions and red rose petals and
delicious food...
Samkelo: “My sweetheart my rose my bear my
strawberry my sweet little thing my soft and warm
bear the most beautiful woman on earth! Gangster
wife Queen ka Axe” The way I'm blushing if I were
to melt I would've been water already. This man knows
826 | P a g e
me.
He made the way to me and stood in front of me took
my both hands to his.
Samkelo: “Mother of children! Hawu bantu. You made
me a man amongst man for agreeing to marry
this idiot in front of you” I couldn't hold my laugh
anymore I cracked out laughing.
Me: “Hawu bantu? You full of jokes myeni wami” I say
after catching my breath.
Samkelo: “Let's sit my love” He helped me to sit
comfortably.
Me: “Mhm all my favourite... Mouth-watering”
Samkelo: “Now I understand why all my kids are eating
this much” he was not looking at trying to hold
his laugh.
Me: “They got it from their father”
He fed me fruit salad.
Me: “I wonder how my kids are”
Samkelo: “They are fine babe I came them earlier on”
Me: “Thanks babe. I'm going to Glenwood primary
today I need answers. Please don't stop me”
Samkelo: “I won't stop you because even if I try you
won't stop” I'm glad am speaking to the person who
knows me too well. I kissed his nose. He said
something I couldn't hear.
We ate our breakfast laughing. After I prepared myself
for Glenwood primary. He drove me there.
Mrs Whole: “Mrs Khumalo I would like to apologise on
827 | P a g e
behalf of the school about what happened to
Smamukele”
Me: “Thanks but what I would love to meet the parents
of the boy who hurt my child”
Mrs Whole: “There problem is that boy who hurt
Smamukelewe don't know him. He doesn’t enrol in
this school” I laughed sarcastically.
Me: “You're trying to tell me that a stranger got in your
premises and hurt my child not just hurt he broke my
son's arm. And here you tell me that he doesn’t enroll
in this school. Does it make sense to
you?” my voice is little bit high.
Samkelo: “Babe calm down”
Mrs Whole: “Mrs Khumalo I'm sorry about what
happened to your son but I'm doing anything to my
power to get to the bottom of these”
Me: “When you have something concrete please call
me. Babe let's go” I got up from the chair. Took
my husband's hand and exited the principal's office.
We got in a car he started the engine and drove off.
Samkelo: “If the boy who hurt Sma don't school there
this mean the boy was sent there to provoke
Sma unfortunately Sma fought him and he took a steel
and hit Sma on the arm.That's the theory”
Me: “Yeah and I swear on my father's grave if I find
that boy I'll squeeze his throat until he takes his
last breath”
Samkelo: “That's the spirit my love”
828 | P a g e
You can judge our relationship but I like it as it. We
protect our family and our things with everything
we do.
Me: “Please tell Spikes to follow Serge”
Samkelo: “Done!”
We stopped at MacDonald drive-thru to get burgers for
me and boys. This thing of Sihle knowing how
to send text on WhatsApp worries me. I don't want
him to be used on those things at this age and him
being him.
Me: “Babe Sihle worries me”
Samkelo: “I told you that Sihle is something else. He is
the Bit (cutting edge of an Axe). He is very sharp
than others but in unimportant things. I dought that he
will like school that one”
Me: “Samkelo!” I don't like it when he talks like that.
Samkelo: “I know my kids too well. I observe them in
every game or things we do together. Juju is
good in words and he is persuasive but in a good
manner. Sma is a quiet child he doesn’t express his
feelings or emotions easily and he has a good taste
when it comes to clothes. And then Sihle is a
hyperactive rude and talkative but he is sensitive and a
fast learner”
Me: “Yes that's true but I'll have to be hard on Sihle
from now on” He was laughing.
Samkelo: “Thanks for giving beautiful kids babe and
who are on the way” calmly and polite.
829 | P a g e
Me: “I’ll always cherish it babe”
When we arrived at the hospital we found Precious
and her mother in the waiting room with Lwandile
and Mntungwa.
Precious: “Ohh Samkelo” she was running to Samkelo's
arms.
Me: “Briiika bitch” I stopped her with my one hand it
causes Samkelo Mntungwa and Lwandile to
laugh.
Me: “He may hug you when I'm not around but right
now I'm here so please respect my existence
here” Samkelo cleared his throat and shook his head a
little with a smile on his face.
Samkelo: “I love you Mrs Khumalo. Let's go to check on
our boys. Taima ntwana see you now”
Me: “Bye” to Precious.
On the corridors I received a call.
Me: “Spikes do you have something for me?”
Spikes: “You won't believe what I’m about to tell you”
Me: “Okay...”
Samkelo went to boy's ward.
Spikes: “Precious's mother is sleeping with Serge and
she is in this with him. I found out that they hired
a street kid to go on Glenwood primary school to fight
with Sma and break his arm. Right now I need
to find the boy but Spiro is on the street” I giggled.
Me: “You won't believe that Precious and her mother
are here in the hospital”
830 | P a g e
Spikes: “They are there to check the coast but please
keep it cool”
Me: “I have to keep it cool for my boy” We spoke a
little after he hung up.
I went to the ward I found them playing watching
cartoons. Sihle asked to sleep here yesterday when
I explained it to him why his brothers are here he cried
I told him that if he wants to sleep here he
will have to get injection whenever the doctor comes
to the ward. He said he will go with his
grandfather to Umhlanga. He hates needles with his all
heart.
I spent the whole day with my boys their father didn't
stay long he has things to attend to I think is to
pay a visit to Serge or something. Tonight I want him to
tell me about this dangerous and nutorous
gangster he doesn’t want to tell me about. When he
doesn’t he will sleep in guestroom our lives can't
be in danger and him not telling me everything.
Sihle is going to Umhlanga again I miss his energy
around the house but he likes to spend time with the
Pensioners so that they will spoil him. He knows I don't
take shit from him or anyone.
When I got home at 19:45pm he wasn't home. I made
lasagne for him. I ate leftovers. My man hates
leftovers with all his heart I don't know why but he
hates it. After eating I went to my bedroom took
a shower I wore pyjamas because it might happen that
831 | P a g e
I sleep alone in this bed when he doesn’t want
to tell me the truth.
I got in bed and my eyes were itch so I must sleep now.
I slept. I was woken by his hand brushing my
tummy.
Me: “You back babe” yawning.
Samkelo: “Go back sleep babe” His scent....
I turned to look at him.
Me: “I wanted to wait for you but I couldn't keep my
eyes open”
Samkelo: “You tired babe I understand. You are
wearing pyjamas I might not sleep here today"-he was
giving a weird look.
Me: “I love you because you know me too well. Please
tell me about this Serge who threatens my
family safety”
Samkelo: “So I have to speak the truth?”
Me: “You don't have a choice but when you feel like
not. The guestroom is ready for until I give birth”
His eyes were all out.
Samkelo: “Guestroom no sex?”
Me: “Samkelo stop that please and talk to me”
Samkelo: “Okay. Serge is a dangerous and nutorous
gangster. We not on good terms as we both
gangsters but what I've found out is he was a good
friend of your late father. Your father owed him
now he is back to claim what is his....”
We heard gunshots. He picked me up quickly went to
832 | P a g e
the closet with me.
Samkelo: “What the hell is that?”
Me: “I don't know”
We stayed in the closet until the gunshots slowed
down.
Samkelo: “We not sleeping here. We going to sleep in
my penthouse in town pack your bags now” He
stormed out of the room.
I packed my clothes and him in different overnight
bags.
Samkelo: “I'll protect you with everything I have” he
gave a bulletproof to wear.
We stood there and look at each.
Samkelo: “Since when I became a coward who wants
run and leave his house because of silly
gunshots? We not going anywhere. Let's go to the
basement and plan our next move since we know
who we are dealing with here”
Me: “Axe! Umlilo noma imbazo?”
He gave a side smile.
Samkelo: “I'll chop my enemies and fry them” he
laughed that evil laugh of his. I joined him. I love this
man here.
We went to the basement to plan our move. We video
call the other about our strategy. Kat is out of
town he is in Mpumalanga with Thokozani. There's a
heist that will happen tomorrow night. On Friday
he will go straight to Wineen for the cleansing
833 | P a g e
ceremony.
When I woke up in the morning I was in our bed and he
wasn't there. I quickly went to the bathroom
to votim. Morning sickness is back and I hate it.
Samkelo: “Sorry babe . I promise you that this is our
last born or borns if there's something like that”
Me: “You don't have to promise me that because after
giving birth I'm doing tubal-ligation I'm not
having another kid after them”
I rinsed my mouth with mouth wash.
Me: “In your family do you have twins or triplet
history?”
Samkelo: “Now that I know off” We both went back to
bed.
Me: “I thought it was on your side because we don't
have the twins or triplet’s history”
Samkelo: “If it's that so we are truly blessed babe” he
kissed my forehead.
We went to take a bath together. His is wearing a black
ripped jean and white golf T-shirt with blue
Air Jordan 18 Retro sneakers. I have learned to know
them with their names. He has a room for
sneakers. When his son Sihle take one pair he asks me
instead of asking them.
When we arrived at the hospital the doctor discharged
both and I'm happy because we are leaving
tonight. I already packed their clothes on their
backpacks. I hate to pack their clothes in one bag
834 | P a g e
because Juju and Sihle are disorganised while Sma is so
organised so I packed them differently.
At 20:00pm we packed everything in the crew bus and
daddy is driving. The drive was too long and
tiring all I need is too sleep. Luckily we entered in
midnight so I don't have to face that monster called
MaKhumalo.
Lwandile Mbuso and Samkelo to the boys inside the big
house and I went straight to my room and
slept. I didn't even hear him when he came back from
his brothers. I saw him in the morning sleeping
so peacefully. I woke up careful not waking him up. I
went to the bathroom took a shower and wore
a pink long dress and black doek on my head. I'm
thankful to those YouTube tutorials on how to wrap
a doek nice and perfect. Samkelo used to laugh at me
when he saw me practising until I was perfect.
When I came out of closet he was on the phone. After
he hung up.
Samkelo: “Beautiful as always”
Me: “Thanks baby” in low voice.
Samkelo: “Are you okay?”
Me: “I'm okay....” I felt tears in my eyes. I looked to the
ceiling I blinked repeatedly...
Samkelo: “I won't lie babe and say things will be fine.
We will live on fantasizing the little life we lost
but his or her siblings will be our good reminder and
comfort us” he hugged me tightly and kissed the
835 | P a g e
top of my head.
Me: “I will forever love him or her even though I wasn't
given the chance to hold him in my arms and kissed his
forehead and see him growing” I'm crying.
Samkelo: “Our angel our creation” His voice was deep
and trembling. I know he wants to cry but he
won't because he wants to be strong for me.
Me: “Don't hold them babe. Let it all out”
Samkelo: “Let what our?” he pinches me. I gave him a
stare after pulling out on his tight hug.
He went to take tissues he wiped my tears.
The ceremony was so heart breaking when we had to
name him. The sangoma told us it was a boy.
His name is Hlelolwenkosi Simphiwe Khumalo.
I'm in my room with my sister and friends. Rachel
couldn't come due to whatever reason.
Nomxo: “I'm glad everything went well”
Me: “You can say that again”
Nokwe: “I need vodka” We laugh.
Thabi: “You're pregnant you can't drink vodka or any
alcohol” she imitated Sakhi's voice. It caused us
to laugh.
Nokwe: “Mxm. You too forward wena muntu omithi”
I'm enjoying their company.
“Where is she!” a shouting voice outside.
“Nompe! Where are you?”
The door swung open and we all stood up. It Rachel.
Rachel: “You're bitch! Why did you kill him? Why!?”
836 | P a g e
she shouted.
Me: “What are you talking about?” calmly.
Rachel: “Don't act dumb here! You killed my father
Nompe! Why? Why?” she screamed.
All eyes here are looking at me. She come towards me
and stand in front of me.
Me: “Firstly I don't know what you are talking about
and secondly I'm grieving from my child and I
won't stand your....” I didn't finish she slapped me. I
followed her slap.
Rachel: “I don't care about that dead thing of yours.
You deserve it you deserve the pain you’re going
through for killing my father!” she is shouting.
Tears came streaming down my cheeks. Her words
broke my heart in million pieces.
Me: “Listen here little girl you will not call my child a
“thing” if you ever say it again I swear on my father's
grave I will…”
Rachel: “You will what? Kill me just like you killed my
father!?” she was livid.
Mntungwa came in the room that where I realised that
my room is full of who were in the yard others are
standing in the door.
Mntungwa: “Makoti what is happening here?”
Me: “Baba she started all this noise"

837 | P a g e
Chapter 45

Samkelo: “What the hell is happening in my room?

Nompe?” his eyes were all out and he was
breathing fast like he was running.
Mntungwa: “All I know there was a lot of noise here
when I came here I don't know what caused it”
Samkelo: “Thabi?”
Thabi: “Rachel came here shouting saying why Nompe
killed her father” in a low voice.
Samkelo: “What? Rachel you drove all the way from
Durban to accuse my wife for killing your father.
Do you have a proof that she killed your father? You
here to cause her stress more she has now? You know
what get out of this yard now! Before I do something
I'll regret” he pointed his finger on her.
He rushed to me and hugged me.
Samkelo: “Can you please give us a moment”
They all went out and left us alone in our room.
Samkelo: “How did she find out?”
Me: “I don't know but i think Felicia is behind it. I swear
when I'm going back to Durban I'll be a killing spree”
Samkelo: “Come down babe. The problem is she know
and your sister and friends know but they don't know
the facts but I hope you'll do the damage control”
Me: “Relax babe I got this. I'll cry my balls out saying
she is accusing of something I don't know and that I'll
never do”
838 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I almost said good girl but let me say good
wife” with a smile.
Zipho came to call us after saying Mntungwa
summoned us.
Samkelo: “Let's do this my love” when he closed the
door on our way out.
Rachel is still here.
Samkelo: “What is she still doing here!” he roared.
Mntungwa: “Samkelo calm down and sit down”
All the family is here even my friends are here to tell
the side of the story I think.
Mntungwa: “Maka Amahle what caused you to come
here shouting in the yard while you know I hate
noise and more especially there was a ceremony
today?”
She looked down.
Rachel: “Baba I'm sorry to make noise but I've just
found out that she (pointing her finger at me) killed
my father” she is still angry.
Mntungwa: “Don't point. Did you see the video or
something showing Ka Mazibuko killing your father?
I'm not trying to make her innocent in all of this I don't
know either but I want to know the cause of
you shouting in the yard”
She looked down again.
Rachel: “I didn't see anything incriminating her but my
stepmother told me this morning”
Samkelo: “Maybe you high on something"
839 | P a g e
Mntungwa: “Samkelo!" he shouted.
Mntungwa: “Ka Mazibuko what is the side of your
story?”
Me: “Baba. I'm falsely accused of something I don't
know and that I will never due to human being.
What worries me is that I'm falsely accused at the most
painful time in my...” I wailed after saying
those word. Samkelo came to me to calm me down.
Samkelo: “You see what you are doing to her. If her
high blood pressure rise and something happens
to my babies I swear I won't be capable of what I'll do”
he was calming me down.
If Rachel knew that bastard of his father was nothing
but a dog. And yes I killed Nyathikazi because
he spilt my son's blood she he shot him on the
shoulder. When it comes my kids I don't have mercy
I kill for the split of their blood.
I'm the Queen of Axe I fix my crown with an axe!
After Rachel said sorry to Mntungwa for making noise
but she didn't apologise to me.
Samkelo: “Mntungwa can I please take my wife to
rest?”
Mntungwa: “Yes son. MaNdlovu please make
Camomile tea for her just to calm down her nerves"
MaNdlovu: “Yebo baba” she got up.
Samkelo took me to our room to “rest” he closed the
door behind him.
Samkelo: “I'm sure they are convinced that you didn't
840 | P a g e
do anything”
A knock on the door...
Samkelo: “Come in”
Lwandile came in.
Lwandile: “Sis'Nompe I'm sorry for what Rachel done.
She caused more pain than you have and it
pain me to see you hurt”
Me: “You didn't do anything to me Lwandile. I will not
hate you for Rachel's stupidity and I will not
hate Amahle for her mother stupidity. I won't lie she
hurt me with the most painful thing that has ever
happened in my life”
Lwandile: “Sorry about that”
MaNdlovu came in with a tray.
Me: “Thanks mom for the tea” She smiled. I hope she
won't feed me poison this one. I don't trust
her but Samkelo would kill her before he buries me.
She left after Samkelo went outside for a smoke.
Lwandile left too.

Samkelo is too attached to me now. I'm five months
and two weeks. When I felt a kick we were
watching tv with him and the boys. His eyes were filled
with tears but boys didn't see it. Boys were
happy to feel them kicking. My gynaecologist said I'm
doing fine and the babies too.
I have seen Rachel after the scandal that happened in
841 | P a g e
Wineen. I haven't seen my friends too. Nomxo
said she will tell me if they are meeting her. My sister
called once last week but I'm meeting them on
lunch time to see the yacht our husbands bought for
us.
Me: “Give it to me Smiso” He gave me The Macallan
Easter Elchies 13 years old single malt whiskey
the order of the guys in VIP section.
I made my way to the VIP section with the bottle and
glasses on the tray. They whistle when they saw
I'm coming to them.
Guy1: “Served by a Queen herself”
Guy2: “Thanks Queen”
Me: “Gentlemen please enjoy” after saying that I left
their table.
I went to the bar.
Smiso: “ smell trouble the Boss Lady” he was wipping
glasses.
Zane: “Me too. See the one in the middle he is leader
of them”
Me: “Leader?”
Zane: “I heard that he is stealing cars and sell them for
people from Nigeria and Mozambique”
Smiso: “I hope he won't do that here”
I laughed.
Me: “He will never”
I left them and went to my office. I check the CCTV on
the VIP section just to check things. My kids are
842 | P a g e
back at school. Spiro haven't found that boy and we
suspect that he isn't here maybe he is in
Mozambique or somewhere far than us because when
we reach out for him. Which comes in my mind
is to find close friends of Serge from neighbouring
countries maybe this boy is there.
They behave well after drinking they left. I called my
husband to pick me to go to the Harbour. After
30 minute she was here to pick me up. He is wearing a
brown slim fit pant with white polo shirt and
brown shoes. He is simple but he is handsome and hot.
I’m wearing grey T-shirtdress and black wedge
pumps.
Samkelo: “You look tired my love”
Me: “I'm tired babe but not that much”
Samkelo: “You so stubborn Nompe I told you to sit at
home but you don't want to”
Me: “Being pregnant doesn't mean I'm sick”
Samkelo: “Okay!”
He drove to the harbour. We found Kat and Nomxo in
the parking lot.
Me: “Hey guys”
Nomxo: “Hey” she hugged me.
Me: “We can't even hug properly because of these big
tummies of ours” Kat looked away while Samkelo
pulled up a straight.
Nomxo: “Just laugh because you guys joy seeing us
walking like ducks and ugly"-Nomxo little bit upset.
843 | P a g e
Samkelo's phone ring. He answered I think it Andile or
Sakhi because he said where we are.
Thokozani and Nontu come to our way looking
beautiful. Zee and Spikes followed. Sakhi and Nokwe
were the last to come.
Some guy came and directed us to follow him. We
followed him and he stop. Some guys open the
thing of which I don't know its name. He ushered us
in.....
Me: “Woooooow!”
Nokwe: “This is......Let me say....”
They stood there looking at us when we were looking
around....
Me: “Ahhhh!” I screamed when I saw a door written
“Nompe & Samkelo”. I heard others screaming
I'm sure they see what I'm looking at. I opened the
door...
It interior is soooo beautiful he chose shiny brown on
the walls and floor. This room is white and blue
our favourite colours. I want to sleep here tonight!
When I was done checking my room with here I
went back to the lounge here.
Me: “This is soooo perfect Thank you babe” I hugged
my husband.
We had lunch in the yacht and it was so delicious.
Guy: “Sir I'm done” to Kat. A guy who showed us
around.
Kat: “Ladies I think we have to go. The lunch hour is
844 | P a g e
about to end”
Me: “I want to sleep here tonight” Samkelo laughed.
Kat: “Let's get going”
We stood up I took my handbag. We made our way to
the parking lot. They were behind us. When I
reached for our car he was nowhere to be seen. I took
my phone and called him.
Me: “Babe I'm waiting for you”
Samkelo: “You left me here. Please come back and get
me here so that we can make our way together
to the car” I hate it when he is this childish.
Me: “Samkelo!” I shrugged my shoulder.
I went back to where I left him....
The five of them were standing next black cars
wrapped in ribbons. Mustang to be specific...
Nontu: “What is going on here?”
They came to us. He gave me a key. I gave him a
confused look.
Samkelo: “It's yours!”
My ears were deceiving me. Or he is joking.
Me: “Pardon?”
Samkelo: “That car is yours. I bought it for you”
anymore
I screamed in happiness. I couldn't love him any better.
I jumped in his arms at time he is laughing at
me.
Me: “Thanks babe. Thank you!!” I'm screaming like a
teenager.
845 | P a g e
I took his hand went to the car. I got in and he
removed the ribbon and got in. I took him for a spin
with my new Mustang! Those are perks of being
married to a lawyer who is a gangster money is not a
problem but I'm glad he bought me a new car.
Us as their wives are blessed to husbands like them.
Gangster's wives!!
Samkelo: “Babe where is My Speed of Sound!?”
shouting.
If it not his Jordan....
Me: “I don't know babe! Please check under Sihle's
bed!” shouting.
Sihle: “I didn't take them!”
I hate morning especially when they are asking their
things on me.
Me: “Of course you took them”
Sma: “Mom if I don't kill Sihle these days”
Me: “What did he do?”
Sma: “He draws his silly cartoons on my schoolbooks”
he was making scary looks to Sihle.
Samkelo: “Babe I can't be finding them”
Ohh Lord! I better help him to find his sneakers or else
I'll take these kids to school myself. When he
wants to wear a thing he wears it when he doesn’t find
it. He becomes grumpy all day to me as if I
took it and be nice to his kids to who hide his things.
Sihle: “Mom please help me to wear my shoes”
Samkelo came down the stairs running I'm glad he
846 | P a g e
knows he is making us late.
Samkelo: “I found them”
Me: “Good”
Sihle: “Mom!”
Me: “Babe please pick him up and place him on the
counter” He picked him up and I help him to tie
his laces.
Sihle: “Mom why you can't bend? Is your tummy
painful?” Juju giggled.
Sihle: “What are you laughing at wena Juju you
monkey? Maybe mom is in pain but you busy laughing
at silly things” I stopped packing their lunch box and I
looked at him. Juju didn't say anything.
Me: “Ncooah my caring son. Mommy's tummy isn't
painful. Thanks for asking my love” I gently
squeezing his cheeks. His father smiled.
When their father was done eating we drove them to
school and Sihle to the crèche. I didn't get
anything about the boy who hurt my child at school
and I left it hanging because when I find him I will crack
his head open with a four-pound hammer.
I'm too lazy now I don't go to the club everyday now
I'm always tired. He took me out for breakfast at
Mugg n Bean. We ordered after our order came.
Samkelo: “Ei...”
When I looked up its Serge.
Serge: “Khumalo’s son and Mazibuko’s daughter mhm.
What a great combination” his attitude.
847 | P a g e
Samkelo wanted to answer him but I gave him a look
and shook my head no.
Samkelo: “Can I please have a peaceful breakfast with
my wife?” he was pissed.
Serge left. We continue with eating.
Me: “Remember the last you wanted to tell me about
him?”
Samkelo: “Eat babe before we see the other bugs”
I continued with eating. After we went home to chill.
He didn’t go to work like me but then I joy his
company.
We are laying on our bed my big tummy on his lower
body and my leg on top of his. I woke up to that
position and I sat on top of him and started to kiss
him.
After some time he pulled out.
Samkelo: “Babe I'm scared....”
Me: “Scared of what?” bit annoyed.
Samkelo: “Babe you have three babies inside of you.
What if I hurt one of them?”
Me: “Samkelo like really? You can't be serious” I'm
pissed as hell.
Samkelo: “I'm not having sex. We will after they born
are but now I'm sorry I can't”
Me: “Mxm you don't find me attractive anymore”
Samkelo: “Please don't start”
Me: “Start what?”
Samkelo: “We not gonna argue because I said we can't
848 | P a g e
have sex”
Me: “We will because I want sex as in now!” I'm yelling
now.
Samkelo: “Don't yell at me Nompe”
Me: “Or what? Or what!?” I'm really pissed guys you
don't understand.
He roughly pulled me to him and kissed me senseless.
When the kiss got heated he pulled out when
I wanted to unbutton his shirt.
Samkelo: “Babe” he held my hand.
Me: “Babe please just one round...Please...” I made
puppy eyes...
Samkelo: “Ei....” he scratched his head.
Me: “You made a vow to take care of me in everything”
He busted out laughing with that voice of his.
I kept quiet.
Samkelo: “Okay! Okay! One round after this we'll have
sex after giving birth and I M-E-A-N it” I smiled.
He started kissing me so slowly. After our steamy and
intense session we went to take a long warm
bath he was behind me brushing my tummy.
After we went to eat in the kitchen. Then we went to
fetch the kids at school we went to MacDonald
to eat.
Sihe: “Hey Roxanne” he waved to a girl who is with her
mother I think. The mother turned.
Mother: “Hey Sihle” she responds. She is white with
blonde hair.
849 | P a g e
Sihle: “Come”
Mother: “I'm sorry to intrude”
Me: “No you not please” Juju and Sma went to take
extra chairs for them. They came back and the
mother and daughter sat down.
Me: “Mrs Khumalo” I extended my hand for a
handshake. We shake hands.
Mother: “Mrs Spencer here” she smiled. She has a
beautiful smile.
Sma was smiling at the girl non-stop he was even
blushing.
Samkelo: “I'm Mr Khumalo” he extended his hand and
she did too. They shook hands.
Mrs Spencer: "I'm happy to final meet you. I like the
way you boy is and how disciplined he is”
Me: “Thanks Mrs Spencer. I can see you doing a very
good job on her too”
Mrs Spencer: "I think our order is ready. It was nice to
meet you guys. Mrs Khumalo please take here
this it has my number. Bye guys"-she gave me her
business card and she left.
Samkelo: “She is cute ntwana” to Sma. They did that
fist bump thing of theirs.
Sihle: “I like her cheeks”
Sma: “Ohh shut up!”
Sihle: “You shut up too or else I'll snatch her from you
and you'll cry after that”
We laughed.
850 | P a g e
Me: “She is really cute” He blushed.
Sma: “I would like to take her to movies if it okay with
you parents”
Oh God. People are growing he starts to like or love or
have a special friend.
Me: “It okay but me or your father or her mother will
take you there and fetch you”
Samkelo: “Great idea my love”
After we went home. I helped Sma and Juju with their
homework while cooking. Sihle wanted to paint.
Next year he is going to School. I smell troubles all the
way from Glenwood to here. Anyway and you'll cry
after that”
We laughed.
Me: “She is really cute” He blushed.
Sma: “I would like to take her to movies if it okay with
you parents”
Oh God. People are growing he starts to like or love or
have a special friend.
Me: “It okay but me or your father or her mother will
take you there and fetch you”
Samkelo: “Great idea my love”
After we went home. I helped Sma and Juju with their
homework while cooking. Sihle wanted to paint.
Next year he is going to School. I smell troubles all the
way from Glenwood to here. Anyway we ate
and then went to sleep.
At midnight I was disturbed by my phone ring. It is
851 | P a g e
private number.
Me: “Hello”
The person who called was quiet.
Me: “You call me in the middle of the night just to be
quiet? Fuck you!” I hung up.
Samkelo: “Who was that? he turned to look at me.
Me: “I don't know who it is....”
My phone ring again.
Me: “What is it?” I'm pissed. I answered without
checking the caller id.
TK: “It me TK. They took them Nompe” His is voice is
different and he is about to cry.
Me: “Wooah slow down. Who took who?”
TK: “Nontu and Iyazi are gone they are not here
Nompe. My wife is not here!” he is yelling.
Me: “What? Are you sure?” I’m shocked.
TK: “I'm fucken sure. They left a note. Fuck!!”
Me: “TK please come down. Wherever they are I'll find
them. Iyazi has a tracker so please calm down”
You see that why I said kids should have trackers.
Me: “I call you when I have GPS coordinates okay?”
TK: “Please hurry!”
Me: “Sure” I hung up.
I went to the study and I tracked down Iyazi's tracker.
It's on N3 coming towards here. Samkelo came
in with a juice.
Me: “The tracker is on the N3 babe and it is coming
here”
852 | P a g e
He called our members to be ready. TK called.
Me: “TK they are on N3 coming this way. The others
are ready. I'm going to prepare right now” I hung
up after.
Samkelo: “This is written Serge all over. I hope they
won't hurt Nontu because she is pregnant but
they will not live to tell the tale”
We went to prepared ourselves to go to rescue my
sister and my nephew. He made sure I wear
bulletproof. I took my laptop and went to the two plan
this rescue that we going to do.
Spikes: “Guys I know they warehouse I think they are
going there”
I'm busy on my laptop.
Samkelo's phone rings.
Samkelo: “Yes... What?... Okay we still in the
warehouse hurry up so that we can go together. Sure”
he
hung up.
Samkelo: “That was TK he is with Sakhi on their way
here”
Me: “Guys Iyazi's tracker is not moving... It's in Jacobs”
Spikes: “Let me make few calls” Spiro's phone rings.
Everyone here is busy we must go and find them.
Spikes: “Okay. Guys I got the address and I sent few
guys there and they say five minutes ago a black
Mercedes Benz crew bus entered followed by a
MiniCupper"
853 | P a g e
Spiro: “The picture has been sent to me. It Precious
with another girl I don't know”
Minutes later TK and Sakho entered. TK is a mess it like
he last took a bath in the last two years.
SK: “Give him whiskey to calm his nerves”
TK: “I will get it myself I don't want to feel sleepy in the
next two minutes” he went to pour himself a
whiskey. We laughed at him. He knows SK too well.
SK: “Haah ntwana you don't trust me Manje?” he was
laughing.
TK: “I do but I need to get here and fetch my family” he
gulped another glass.
When we were about to leave....
“Yeyii Nina msunu!”
SK: “Nxaa fuck wena!” he lifted is middle finger. It's
Spider.
They did brotherly hug and they brushed each other's
head roughly.
Spider: “Mfazi you're pregnant again? Hayi Samkelo
yakwazi ukusebenzisa into yakho ntwana!” The
gang laughed at him.
I corked my gun and pointed at him.
Spider: “Nxaa voetsek maarn! Arggggh!” he moved my
gun from his face.
SK was in stitches. We friends with Spider but most of
the time we fight. We went to the cars. Spider
is using his motorbike. I miss my bike but I'm heavily
pregnant I can ride. When we got their Spider did
854 | P a g e
what he is good at. SK is leading.
The warehouse was surrounded so that no one can get
away. I sneaked in I stood by the cardboard.
There are sound here....
Voice: “Ahhhhh fuck....Babe your pussy is good...Ahh”
I followed the noise I found them naked...
Me: “If you move I'll blow your little mind”
He didn't move.
Me: “You two move...” they made their way to the
where others were...
Spider: “Yhuu yinina thixo wami?” he hid his eyes when
he sees the two I'm pointing guns at. I couldn't
hold a laugh. I cracked out.
Me: “Where are they?”
TK is crying holding my sister who is asleep I went to
them and Iyazi was asleep too.
Phindi: “Boss we need to take them to the hospital
worse she is pregnant”
SK: “Please do Phindi. Take TK with you”
TK: “I'm not going anywhere without killing this
bastard”
Me: “Today I do agree what they say about pregnant
woman that they forget everything. I haven't
seen our big fish here” I looked at Serge. He is tied on a
chair.
TK: “I'll mince you"
Nontu and Iyazi were taken out.
TK: “Pass the axe to me”
855 | P a g e
Spiro gave him. He took it and made his way to Serge
slowly....
We are whistling for him. If their wives can see them
on mission how sexy they are they'll join in just
to witness that.
“Laqhuma izembe!!....” the gang cheered for him. We
wanted to arise the beast in him.
The beast in him chopped Serge into peices less than
10 minutes. Spiro chopped Serge's hit men with
the help of other members. The video was taken.
Precious and her mother were lucky because when
we got there they were not there.
Later we went to check my sister and Iyazi they were
fine and awake. After I went to the house checked
on my boys and slept.

Insert 46
Sma took off the concrete on his arm. The spelling
competition took place last week Friday and my
boy got the second place and I was happy. We took
him to the shopping but Sihle
Blackmailed us we ended up taking the mall out for
shopping. I'm seven months pregnant. Sihle is like
a glue to me. His father said maybe it’s because I'm
expecting a girl in one of the triplets which was
Qaudraplets but it’s God's will.
Sihle: “Mom please scratch me on the back” I did.
Sma: “Sihle you can be a pain sometimes”
856 | P a g e
Sihle: “Please shut up!”
Juju: “When the babies are born mom won't have your
time”
Sihle: “Juju!” shouted.
Me: “Boys!”
Boys: “Mkhulu!” they run up to him. Sihle didn't he sat
next to me brushing my tummy.
Mntungwa: “Sihlelelwe my boy” he sat on Samkelo's
couch. Yes my husband has his couch and boys
now that even the crazy one doesn’t jump to it.
Me: “Sawubona baba” I greet him.
Mntungwa: “Mntanami Ninjani?”
Me: “Siyaphila baba” I bowed my head and busy
playing with my hands. This old man here always
intimidates me.
Sihle: “Mkhulu” He is acting strange these days but you
never know with him.
I went to dish up for him. When I was done I took the
food to him. I knelt and serve him his food. I admire
him. He loves us as wives of his sons unlike that old
bitch his wife.
Mntungwa: “Ngiyabonga makoti”
He is always on point. Even if he is wearing a simple
shirt and jean he looks handsome. I see my
husband got genes to his father. Mntungwa don't have
a big tummy like others of his age.
After he was done eating I took the dishes to the
kitchen.
857 | P a g e
Mntungwa: “No boys you have to talk to your mother
first if she agrees sit okay if she don't then you
won't come with me”They love their grandfather.
I came in.
Sma & Juju: “Mom please!”
Me: “Okay but don't forgot your ruby kit Sma and Juju
your tennis ratchets” Sihle is awful quiet.
Juju closes his eyes for a very long time.
Sma: “Is the snake here Juju?”
Juju: “Yes Sma. Let's go” he took Sma's hand. I'm heart
sank in. I should get used to it but I don’t and
I don't like it.
Samkelo came in.
Samkelo: “My boys are going if Mntungwa is here” he
sat next to me.
Mntungwa laughed.
Mntungwa: “You'll be like me sonny”
Samkelo: “And I'm jealousy taima”
Sihle didn't greet his father he went upstairs.
Samkelo: “And then what did they do to him?”
Me: “He is sulking because they told him that once the
babies are born I won't have his time”
Juju and Sma came down with their school backpacks
and sports kits. Sihle is carrying his backpack only.
Me: “My boy they were joking you know that I love you
all equally right?”
Sihle: “Grandpa please let’s go”
Mntungwa: “Bye bantwana”
858 | P a g e
They left with their grandfather. Sihle makes me sad at
times I don't want them to feel like don't care about
them.
Me: “Babe Sma has been complaining about Sihle
hiding his things so I think it’s better when we separate
them with rooms”
Samkelo: “Okay babe”
He wanted to paint the nursery but I told him not to
I'm scared what if they don't make it. He will fix
it on the last week before the due date. I can't wait to
meet them. Anyway I'm expecting two boys and one
girl. I hope and I pray not to take after Sihle hawu
Jehova!
He doesn’t like it when I go up the stairs not hold the
staircases. I can't do anything now my tummy is big. He
allowed me to take a shower under his supervision
because I might fall hurt myself and the kids.
Nontu Thabi Nomxo Zee and Nokwe are pregnant too.
Me and Thabi are due in the same month but
different dates. Nokwe's pregnancy is better this time
Haah the first time I thought Sakhi will never
see the baby because he would be dead.
I went to the boy’s room to see where we can start. On
Sihle's side table he has our photo as a family.
Sma has his books my genius. Juju has a Lamborghini
toy car. They are so different and I'm sure on
Sma's room it would be a library but a clean one. When
I rested my head on Juju pillow something
859 | P a g e
was underneath his pillow I got up quickly thinking it
might be a snake. Nxaa it a 2 Quire book does
not cover. I'm sure it’s not for school.
I opened....
There are drawing in this book. Some drawings are
beautiful like the one he drew his brothers. I didn't
know he could draw like this. Other drawings are scary
like it demonic. Others are....
Samkelo: “What are you looking at?” as he sat on the
bed next to me.
Samkelo: “What the fuck who draw this?”
Me: “I think it Juju”
Samkelo: “If it’s me how does he knows the emblem of
the Scavangers?”
Me: “I don't know I'm shocked as you are”
There's another photo of a small fouetus but I can't
make the full sense of this picture and many of I
don't understand them.
Samkelo: “This is too deep babe. I like this one” Juju
drew his father carrying his that big brief case and
his black gown wearing a suit. He was going to court.
He drew it as he was coming down the stairs. I
like it too.
Samkelo: “We have to take it if it belongs to him he will
want it but if he doesn't it will mean some
arse hole is up to something”
The whole weekend was to prepare their rooms before
they come back. Sunday I woke up super
860 | P a g e
tired I did my morning rituals and then went
downstairs to make myself something to eat.
Lwandile: “Please dont! Sit down and other pregnant
mommies are coming!”
He is carrying pizza. My friends entered. Walking like
penguins.
Thami: “Hey penguin”
Me: “Who is a penguin you arse hole?” I don't want to
mind him but my hormones are playing their
role.
Thami: “Vele!” he was leaning on the door. My
husband entered with Andile Kat TK Sakhi Spider
Spikes and Spider and his wife.
Thami: “This wine is for you lady not these penguins”
Spikes: “No wonder you don't even have a girlfriend”
Namisa: “Thanks but I'll prefare juice too”
She can't be pregnant too. The guys cracked out
laughing.
Namisa: “And then?"
Nokwe: “Welcome to the bet girl!”
Namisa: “What? Avela is it true?” she snapped. Spider
didn't say anything.
Namisa: “I can't believe you! I just can't” she got up
and disappeared in the house.
Spikes: “Yhooo ntwana use masimbeni yhooo”
We ordered food I couldn't cook for this army here I'm
tired and my face is a bit swollen. We ate and
spent time together .I always enjoy their company.
861 | P a g e
Thami was a nuisance today but I did enjoy my day.
Later we went to sleep boys are coming back
tomorrow after school.
Samkelo: “Babe do you know that I love you?” he was
brushing my tummy.
Me: “Yes my love I know”
Samkelo: “I can do anything I mean anything to protect
you and my kids” he is serious.
Me: “I know Mbulazi”
Samkelo: “I've never ever in my life I thought I will love
someone like you. Today I'm a husband and a
father to three handsome boys and others are on their
way. I know we argue sometimes but I love you and
want you . Even temptations come along the way but I
love you mama”
I lifted my up to look at him.
Me: “I never thought I will love someone like you and
be a wife to a handsome and sexy man on earth
and to be a mother to cute boys” He smiles more like
blushing.
We had a conversation and I slept in his arms . In the
morning I woke up to prepare him a breakfast
he is going to court. I like to fix his tie if he is wearing
one .Damn my man looks so sexier and handsome
in a suit.
Me: “Mntungwa Mbulazi Mzilikazi ka Mashobane” as
he comes down.
He is smiling all the way to me. I took his hand and
862 | P a g e
placed it on my tummy. The babies were kicking.
Samkelo: “Ncooah babe they like it when you say my
clan names” I laughed.
Me: “I was complementing my husband. If they want
that their father must recite his clan names for them”
He smiled.
Samkelo: “Always have answers” he kissed my nose.
I dished his breakfast. After he ate and he left . I'm
bored I ate and went to watch tv. I called my sister just
to check up on her .I don't understand my mother ever
since Serge was in town she changed. She hardly calls
even if you call her you don't get hold of her and I
won't go to Mtunzini in any time soon.
I'm tired!
I went to the study took my laptop .I have new emails
.Checked them mxm boring stuff. I went back to lounge
.I spent my day watching movies.
At 15:30pm the door opened...
Juju: “Oh! Please shut up!”
Sihle: “Don't tell me to shut! This is my mouth not
yours”
Sma: “Hayi mjita take your ruby kit to our room” He is
speaking to Juju.

863 | P a g e
Chapter 46

I went to the kitchen.

Sihle: “Hey mommy”
Me: “Hey boys” They greeted back.
Samkelo: “My love” he kissed me.
Sihle: “Euuuuw. Don't you guys get tired of doing
that?” He is sitting on the kitchen counter.
Samkelo: “Yeyii close your eyes” after he pulled out. He
closed his eyes and giggled after.
He pecked my lips.
Samkelo: “This kid” Sihle is looking at us between his
little fingers.
Sihle: “Mom I got this for you” he gave me a burger
from MacDonald.
Me: “Thank you my sweetheart” I took it from him. His
father took him off the kitchen counter took
his backpack sand they went upstairs.
Me: “He bought it me for real?”
Samkelo: “He bought it with his R100 that Mntungwa
gave him”
Me: “Ncooah”
We heard screams of joy upstairs I'm sure it’s about
their rooms. After a minute they came down
running. They hugged us.
864 | P a g e
Them: “Thanks mom and dad”
Me “Do you like it?”
Them: “Yes”
Samkelo: “Happy kids happy parents” They went back
to their rooms.
Samkelo: “Please go and relax I'm cooking for you
today”
Me: “You won the case”
Samkelo: “Of course babe!”
I went back to lounge. Boys came with homework I
helped them with it .I gave Sihle a paper and pen
to write his name.
Juju: “Your name is Sihlelelwe not Sihlelwe”
Me: “Juju Hayi. You are discouraging him”
Sihle: “Oh please!” Sma say that as Sihle say.
Me: “Juju you such a bad brother. I told you do not
discourage them. Encourage nurture and protect
them not what you are doing”
Juju: “Sorry mom”
Sihle: “You better be or else”
Sma: “Oh please shut up!” Samkelo laughed in the
kitchen.
After doing homework I told to go and bath. I went to
bath Sihle.
There is feeling I have I don't understand I but it
doesn't feel good. We went to eat. 20:00pm they
went to sleep after 15 minutes I went to check up on
them especially Sihle. That rascal the other night
865 | P a g e
I caught him playing games in his iPad when he was
supposed to sleep.
I went to my room after. I found his clothes on the
floor. I want to pick them but I can't bend. I sat on
the bed.
Samkelo: “Sorry to leave clothes on the floor babe”
Me: “I wanted to pick them for you but I couldn't”
Samkelo: “I understand babe”
I got up took of my clothes went to take a shower I'm
feeling hot . After I found him reading some big
book.
Me: “Are you studying?”
Samkelo: “No babe I'm referring”
"Mhm okay"
I got in the bed and closed my eyes.
I felt his lips on my neck .His hands on my ass
squeezing them. His breathing changed. Now his
hands
are caressing my breast.
Samkelo: “Babe...”
Me: “Mhhm”
Samkelo: “Please wake and turn to look at me”
I turned and look at him. We kissed so slowly. We had
sex until I passed out.
In the morning I woke up and did my morning rituals. I
went to wake the kids up I found him bathing
them. Sihle was little bit angry I don't know why and I
don't want to know because the reason that
866 | P a g e
made him angry is useless. He is a king of moods that
one. I went to make breakfast for them.
They came when they were dressed in school uniform.
They ate they breakfast their dad took them
to school.
The intercom rang I went to open it was Mthoko.
Mthoko: “Hey. How are you?”
Me: “I'm good and you?”
Mthoko: “I'm good too”
Silence.
Mthoko: “I came to see SK”
Me: “He took kids to school”
Mthoko: “Mhm” He is relaxed in the couch now.
Me: “Can I offer you something to eat?”
Mthoko: “Yes please” I got up...
Mthoko: “What did my brother do to deserve a
beautiful and sexy wife like you?”
Me: “Excuse me?”my ears are deceiving me.
He didn't say anything . Nxaa! I went to the kitchen to
make a sandwich and juice or coffee I don't
know I'm angry at what he said to me.
Mthoko: “Look at that ass” I turned he was standing
behind but the is a distance.
Me: “Your brother is not here please leave my house”
He made his way to me when he was near I slapped
him so hard .When he tried to speak I slapped
him again. I heard someone laughing.
Samkelo: “Don't mess with my gangster wife sonny” he
867 | P a g e
was laughing.
I went to him and he hugged him tightly.
Samkelo: “Next time you'll die boy. Nomxo beat you
but you didn't learn a lesson"-him.
Me: “Isn't it the first time?”
Samkelo: “No it’s not the first-time babe but us
knowing how strong our wives are there's nothing to
worry about”
Me: “Leave you pervet!”
Samkelo: “I'll make him something to eat” I left them I
went to my room.
After he came to me.
Samkelo: “Don't stress about what happened babe. He
is a pervet but don't mind him. When he starts
this thing of his beat the crap out of him”
Me: “Okay. He has a problem mentally?”
Samkelo: “No. He likes what not belong to him. Even
when we were growing up he used to go after
our girlfriends”
Me: “Mhm okay babe”
I find it weird though but I will do a she tells me.
As the days went by my husband became weird. He
didn't have time for me and the kids. He went to
work early and come back when I'm asleep I even
though he is cheating I did my research but I didn't
find anything. Kids spend most of the time with their
grandparents because their father is too busy for
us.
868 | P a g e
Yesterday he came home early and I was in bed bored
because I'm alone. He fucked me till I passed
out he was gentle. It thought in the morning I will wake
up next to him but he wasn't there. This is
stressing me out now I don't know why to do.
Today I'm planning a special dinner tonight. I'll wear
my sexy matching bra and panty with a silk gown
on top. I need to spicy things up between us or else I'm
goons lose him to some whore I don't know.
At 19:00pm I'm done with everything. I set our dinner
in the lounge. White candles strawberries and cream
non-alcoholic champagne his favourite food and good
music on the low volume. I sat down waiting for him.
I must have fallen asleep when I took the phone to
check the time it is 22:49pm he isn't back yet. I had
missed calls. I unlocked my phone missed calls are
from Ta Kat. When I wanted to call him back the
intercom rang...
“Please open it's Kat”
I opened the gate. I quickly went upstairs to wear a
gown. I don't him to see me half naked. I found
him sitting on the floor.
Me: “Ta Kat are you okay?”
Andile Spider Spikes came in...
Me: “What is going on?”
Andile looked at the lounge and tears came in
streaming in his cheeks.
Me: “Can someone tell what is going on!?”
869 | P a g e
Silence.
Kat got up and came to me. He held both of my hands.
This is first...
Me: “Where is my husband? I've been waiting for
him?”
Silence.
Me: “Where is he?”
Kat: “He was...involved in..a car accident....” tears fell.
I felt my body getting cold. I didn't say anything for a
while.
Me: “Which hospital he is in?” I ran to take my car keys
I found Andile scratching his head.
Me: “Let's go. My husband needs me now” tears filled
my eyes.
Spikes: “Please come here to sit”
Me: “I don't want to sit I need to see my husband!
Now!” I yelled.
Mntungwa: “Makoti please” was behind us.
Me: “Baba please take me to the hospital my husband
needs me” my voice is breaking...
Mntungwa: “Makoti. He didn't make...He is gone....”his
voice was trembling.
Me: “No! Not My Samkelo! No!” I shook my head
repeatedly.
Mntungwa: “He is gone”
I cried loud. Kat came to hold me. I cried. I felt my eyes
hard and they shut down....
---------
870 | P a g e
When I opened my eyes I was in a hospital. I felt hard
sharp pain in my abdomen. When I tried to
move my mom was in my side along with my
grandmother.
Me: “Why I'm feeling these pains?” when I looked at
my tummy it was small not big.
Me: “Where are my kids? Where are they!” I'm
screaming.
Mom: “Nompendulo calm down” I broke down. I saw
my friends coming in the ward.
Me: “Are they....dead? He is...really… dead?” I was still
crying.
Grandma: “Oh bakithi mntano mntanam Bantu” she
hugged me tightly
Mom: “The kids are fine. Doctors are with them” she
was brushing my hand.
Me: “I want to see them now!” Kat entered his eyes
are red.
Kat: “They are coming here now”
The nurses came wheeling in three incubators. I cried.
They took baby number who is a boy.
I held him in my arms. Tears came streaming in my
cheeks.
Me: “Nkanyeziyokusa Okuhle Khumalo” I kissed his
little forehead. His is pale. I passed him to my
grandma.
Nurse gave me baby number 2. It’s a girl.
Me: “Elamantungwa Owethu Khumalo” I couldn't hold
871 | P a g e
my tears I cried. Kissed her forehead and
passed her too.
Nurse gave the baby number3. It’s a boy. The last
born.
Me: “Lethukukhanya Oluhle Khumalo” I kissed his
forehead.
The doctor came in after. He said kids needs to be here
for few days and me also. Kat requested to
talk with a doctor in private.
Mntungwa: “Those were beautiful names mntanami”
Me: “Is he really dead or he fainted? What happened?”
The nurses wheeled my babies out.
Mntungwa: “You need to rest makoti. Let's give me
time to rest”
Me: “Baba please I need to know”
Mntungwa: “He was involved in car accident and he
burnt...I need to go” he got up quickly and left
the ward.
Mom: “Nana please get some sleep. See you in the
morning” she kissed my forehead.
They left one by one saying their condolences. I can't
believe that my husband is gone maybe it’s the
same cars and all that but it can't be him it can't I need
him now more than ever.
Kat came in followed by Andile.
Kat: “I spoke to your doctor he said he can let you go
but under care. I told him that I will take care of
you. The babies still need to be here. Premature babies
872 | P a g e
need extra care. I already requested their own
special room so that they can be guarded 24/7”
Me: “Thank you”
I blinked repeatedly holding my tears.
Me: “Is he really dead or he is bluffing? “
Kat: “Mntungwa went to identify his body in the
mortuary” Andile came to hug me.
Andile: “Everything will be fine”
Me: “No it’s not. My husband the love of my life my
soul mate my partner in crime for real the
father of children my ride or die is gone! Nothing will
be okay do you hear me” I broke down. The
reality hit in.
Kat: “Drink here” he gave me a bottle of water. After
few minutes I suddenly felt sleepy.
“Sleep”..........
After two days I was discharged Lwandile came to pick
me up.
Me: “When are were going to Weneen?”
Lwandile: “We not going there. He will be buried here
in Durban”
Me: “Okay”
When we arrived in my house. There were lot of cars
my mother was waiting for in me the driveway.
She embraced me. I'm walking slowly because I gave
birth through c-section.
When I entered in my house people were going up and
down. Mom took me to my bedroom that
873 | P a g e
where I realised that Samkelo is really gone .I wailed .
My mother took me to the mattress. I was given
a blanket to cover myself.
Me: “I need to see my kids” She got up and left.
Them: “Mommy!” they ran to me.
Sma: “Mom where are the babies?”
Juju: “Mom where is dad? He promised to train to
better my swimming skills”
Sihle: “Mom does dad don’t love us anymore?”
I poked MaNdlovu who is next to me.
Me: “You didn't tell them?” I whispered. She shook her
head no. She cried in silence.
Me: “Boys mom need to talk to you”
Them: “Okay...”
Me: “You know that we love you so much right?”
They nodded.
Me: “I want you to know that whatever happen I will
always love you”
They nodded again. I took a deep breath…
Me: “Dad is gone. We will never see him again”I wiped
my tears.
Juju: “He gone to where . I want him here now! Give
me the phone to call him”
Sma: “He can't live us. He can't. He is selfish!”
Sihle is quiet.
Me: “He left us . He is an angel now he will look after
us” I hugged them.
Juju got up Sma joined him after Sihle followed. I hate
874 | P a g e
to see my kids crying and hurt but there’s nothing I can
do.
The preparations of the funerals I was helped by my
friends and sister. Today it was his memorial
service in the city hall in Durban. It was pecked. His
colleagues friends and family were talking about
him. He was a great person indeed very intimdating
even if he didn't say anything but he has that
thing . He liked to laugh a lot.
We went home after. Tonight it is his memorial service
in the warehouse as a gangster. I'm going
there. I told the family that there are things I must do
Kat is going with me.

[IN THE WAREHOUSE]

I'm wearing my black and mustard. I'm wearing
Samkelo's black ankle coat and his black hat with my
high heel black timber land.
When I got out of the car Nomxo Zee Phindi and Faith
were waiting for me. I got in the middle of
them. The venue was outside the warehouse behind
where we do our races as a gang.
When we were approaching. They all knelt with one
knee. I bowed my head and went to take my sit
in the front.
Kat: “Thanks to you all for coming .I'm sad and
heartbroken that I lost my young brother my partner
in all illegal things *the gang cheered* Samkelo Thee
875 | P a g e
Axe was everything. I'm taking about the guy
who didn't comfort you with lies he always told you
what you don't want to hear. I remember the day
I told him I’m starting the gang and he said “Haah
Grootman lami count. So what will I specialise in?”
I was so defeat because I expected the lecture from
him since he was a lawyer who studied
Criminology . When I reminded him that he said
“Almost all my clients are paying me lot of money
are rich because they're gangsters so who says no to
free money Grootman?” He always has answers
to everything . He was happier when I told him that I
also need ladies in the gang *the gang
laughed*He was a lady’s man but thanks to his
beautiful wife to tainted him. To the most well lived
and most enjoyed life of Samkelo Jonathan "Axe
"Khumalo. Cheer!”
After him. Spider went to the stage.
Spider: “Uhm where do I start? Nxaa! I met Axe in
varsity as my roommate I didn’t get a roommate
but I found a brother in him who was more like a father
to me. He took care of me. He was so wild we
clicked and we became friends. He came from a rich
background while I came from a normal normal
I mean I didn't have many things and he had everything
even a car. He was a person who would think
and act same time. This one day he told me about the
party in town. He took me for shopping and he
876 | P a g e
told me to buy anything I like okay. At night we
prepared for party .We made a grand entrance there
okay the party was great after we made our way to our
Res. We had our first fight that night. Axe and
I fought every weekend at Res and that cause us to
banned in residence and he said to “Relax ntwana
we going to live with my parents won't mind” okay I
was a bit relieved when he said that. The first
weekend we spent there was the weekend the parents
were gone for a weekend away. We were
home alone we planned a party everything went well
that night until Andile's father came he beat
the crap out of us and Mntungwa came in Monday and
beat us again that didn't tainted Axe he went
far as in stealing his father's car and he hit a pole we
were drunk Mntungwa came again beat us to
pulp in such a way we couldn't sit for a week with our
ass *the gang laughed again* We both worked
at the restaurant because Mntungwa was tired of us
and he cut our allowances so he came told us
that he got us piece jobs at restaurant and we were
both happy thinking we’ll be waiters. Little did we
know we were washing dishes almost three months
later we promoted to be waiters . Haah mpintshi
yami you will always live in my heart and I will always
be grateful for all the things you did for” his
speech was funny. He made his mark.
Andile took the stage.
877 | P a g e
Andile: “Oh Axe. Axe! The most wild smart dangerous
ambitious intimidating focused person I ever
met. Axe was free spirit the person who will lecture
you and wish you could slap his mouth. Worse his
voice was serious even if he talking rubbish you will
listen to him then later you realised that nxaa le
ntwana Uyabheda Manje *the gang cheered* as we
were in the same field and I would call him to
lend one of his law book when I have a case here in
Durban he would be like “Haah Grootman Dlamini
has to go and want his change in UKZN because they
didn't give you books to refer to” he was full of
jokes. I remember when he told me and Kat that he
met this beautiful young lady he was crazy I even
thought maybe udlisiwe. And when he met Nompe his
wife in my house and we told him that she is
our IT lady he went crazy and he told us to remove her
from the gang and when we asked the reason
why we must remove her he said “she is my girlfriend
the one I was telling you about guys” we laughed
at him and told him that we can't remove her. He
didn't speak or see us for the whole month. Mxm!
Zembe! Zembe! Zembe! I will always miss and treasure
the moments we had ntwana yami. Cheers to
his life. Cheers” All of us here has a glass in the hand.
Andile: “I would like to welcome Queen of Axe” Nomxo
and Zee helped me to get up and went on
stage with me. I stood there for good 10 minutes quiet
878 | P a g e
when I lifted my head up everyone was on
kneeling with one knee looking down.
Me: “Umlilo!”
“Izembe!” the gang chanted.
They got up and sat on their chairs.
Ntwana yami
Ntwana yami
Kule rap nguhulumeni I rapped three lines from our
song.
Me: “Today I wish like I could not cry. My relationship
with my husband was everything good bad
worse at times we pointed gun at each other but we
didn't kill each other. I remember the time I
found out that I was pregnant with our first child he
was involved in a car accident and went into coma
I was devastated when he woke up he saw the sonar
picture before I could tell him about me being
pregnant. I found him with the picture crying he
thought we lost the baby and I was scared to tell him.
When I told him that the baby is fine he was so happy.
Samkelo love his kids with everything he had I
wasn't allowed to lay my hands on his kids. I lost my
husband my partner in real crime the father of
my children. When he messed up for real he would
wake up before I make breakfast for me and he
would say “the most beautiful woman on earth who
was specially made for me my soft bear my
cupcake my nunuberry my juicy my strawberry” even if
879 | P a g e
I was mad at him I would just laugh and
forgive him. Or when he brings his friends in the special
night he would say “babe please forgive this
ugly and sorry ass. Please” Khumalo Mntungwa
Mbulazi omnyama Mzilikazi ka Mashobane.
Sthandwa senhliziyo yami I will always love you and
cherish our memories together and thanks
forgiving me these beautiful children I had. I will always
look at them and see you in each of them
because you didn't give them your genes you also gave
them stubbornness pride brains and that
deep hoarse voice of yours. Lalakahle Sthandwa sami
lala uphumule” I left the stage. I went to my sit.
The speakers spoke about him. After the speakers she
was a projector which displayed his photos
when he was a child at school graduation picture
graduation picture at his first job him with me with Juju
with Sma with Sihle and us as a family. Him with his
parents siblings our wedding photos.
THE BEST LIFE OF SAMKELO JONATHAN “AXE”
KHUMALO.

[Funeral Day]
The day I wasn't look forward to it has come. The
triplets are here too. I woke up took a bath. Mom
bath triplet with the help of Mam'S. My boys are
wearing black suits with white shirts and Black Air
Jordan and that idea came with big brother Juju.
880 | P a g e
When everyone was getting ready my friends came in
my room looking good.
Me: “Nomxo and Zee please help me to get dressed”
they got up and others left the room.
Today I'm wearing a black long Givenchy dress.
Underneath I'm wearing a black skinny jean with long
sleeve black T-shirt and black high heel timberland. On
top I put my husband's black coat with EAGLES
emblem and his black hat with emblem too. You see all
our gang clothes or uniform has emblem even
the cars bikers and bikers’ uniform.
When I was done I went to kiss my babies and I made
my way to the lounge. The pastor's prayer was
short I don't know why and please don't ask me. Kat
Andile Spikes Spiro Spider TK Sakhi and Craig
came into carry the casket. His mother wailed and I
was crying silently.
We went to the church. The media is here taking
photos. All eyes were on us. His father spoke Kat
Spider and it’s time for Juju to speak in behalf of his
children.
Juju: “My father was everything to me. He used to call
us Ntwana and we called him ntwana too. My
father was easy to speak to than my mother. He was
always laughing telling us right and wrong but
he was strict though yhooo. Teaching us to wash his
cars only to give you R20. He taught me that
everything in life you work hard to get it. I will always
881 | P a g e
remember him with LaLiga by Okmalumkoolkat
when he takes us to school. I will always love you
ntwana” he was crying.
Sma wanted to talk too.
Sma: “Uhm I'm Smamukele. Our father had loved us
dearly but more especially my mom. Ntwana
taught me to play chess and most of the things a boy
must do. He taught me how to ride a bicycle.
Ntwana loved mom so much. He would be sad if she is
not at home when he comes from work but
when she comes in he would smile. Dad said we must
love our mother because she is the first woman
we saw in our lives so that we can love others. Ntwana
I will always be in my heart. I love you” he cried
after.
“Give...Me... A microphone...” I wonder what's
happening there.
Sihle: “Oh please!”in a microphone. It caused people to
laugh.
Sihle: “My name is Sihlelelwe. My father loved us. He
was my partner in stealing mom's favourite ice
cream at night *the crowd laughed again* Dad used to
say I love my dragon when mom is shouting at
us*the crowd laughed*ntwana mommy told us that
now you're an angel please look after us especially
when she start to be a dragon spitting fire. Bye” he
waved his hand.
I smiled when they delivered their speeches. I didn't
882 | P a g e
know my kids saw their father's love for me. I also
didn't know that he was stealing my ice cream with
Sihle and that I was a dragon. Samkelo and his
crew! Hayi!
After the sermon we went to the gravesite. I sat there
with my kids and family in those small family
tents. I went to put a stone in and kids too. When the
put soil inside the grave Kat was standing next
to the pastor when it was half he signaled at me. I
disappeared on the tent I went where the whole
gang was I took of the dress and put on the coat again.
I got in my husband's Harley Davidson I'm
leading them with their motorbikes. I went to where
his grave was we spinned and raved the motorbikes
making a loud noise. After I took his favourite gun AK
shot in the air countless after the put all the soil back.
Losing a partner is difficult.
Samkelo Khumalo would be forever in our heart and
mind. We love you!
---------------
Life without my husband has never been easy but I
have my children to live for. After his funeral we
made it to newspapers and Magazines again. We were
exposed as gangsters state wanted to take
everything my husband has but luckily he was a clever
man. He bought his properties cars and firm
with money he earned as a lawyer.
The first Christmas new year our birthdays our
883 | P a g e
wedding anniversary without him it was hard but as
a mother I had to be strong for my kids. I was
diagnosed Clinical Depression. I drank my sorrows
away
because my sister and friends were angry at me we are
not close even my own sister but I don't care.
The only friends I have now is Nomxo and Zee. My
grandma was angry at first but she came around.
Kat took the father role in my kids. He takes them out
on weekends and buy them expensive gifts. But
all the gang is so supportive my kids has most
expensive toys because they don't want them to suffer
or don't have expensive things like their kids. I'm the
majority shareholder in Mbulazi attorneys all his
houses money cars are on my name. His mother didn't
like it at first but now she is cool with the fact
that I own everything that was my husband's.
Juju sharing his birthday with his father is hard for him
and all of us but the triplet's birthday is the
hardest one because I gave birth the day he passed
away. My mother moved in with me in when the
triplets were young. Elam was the crying one. The
doctors told me that Lethukukhanya is diabetic I
was so devastated that day my blood pressure was
high. He is taking medication.
[After seven years]
We are the family of seven. My kids have grown. Juju is
turning 17 this year Sma 16 Sihle 12 and
884 | P a g e
triplets are turning 7 this year. Next year Juju is going
to do matric. He is doing best in school and my
genius Sma is getting trophies for excelling in grade 10
but ever since he was in primary. Sihle is bright
too but he is in computers that what worries me too
much.
We had our breakfast in peace at least today because
its weekend. Oh I forgot to say that I'm the
leader in Durban. My kids know now excluding the
younger ones. The Big four joined us because
Lwandile was dating a gangster's wife and the other
the was also doing that suit when the husband's
found out they were baying for their blood so they
joined for protection. The first time they saw
videos of us doing the killings Lwandile vommited while
the others were crying begging for the video
to stop.
Now I'm preparing kids to go to school its January they
are starting new grades.
Me: “Sihle are you okay?”
Sihle: “Yes mom I'm okay” in low voice. He changed a
little but he is still my crazy boy. Having a
girlfriend changed him.
Juju: “Haa bafo stress is gonna kill you”
Me: “What is stressing him out?”
Sihle: “Nothing mom”
Me: “Elam get down here now! Or else I'm gonna get
you there and beat that little ass of yours!” I'm
885 | P a g e
shouting standing in the kitchen. She is the diva!
Me: “Lethu not sweets for you my boy. You have
Maynard's wine gums here okay?”
Lethu: “Okay...” he frowned.
Me: “Baby sugar is not good for you” it breaks my
heart when I must remind him because he doesn’t
like it but I must do it.
Me: “Nkanyezi put down that iPad and eat”
Me: “Elamantungwa! Come here now!” I shouted
again.
Elam: “I'm here!” I turned to look at her...
We all laughed at her. She is looking like a ghost. She
applied my makeup. I knew what is taking her so
long. My complexion and her complexion are way too
different. She is dark in complexion and I'm not.
Me: “Go and wash your face and come eat your
breakfast”
Elam: “It suits me so I won't wash my face”
Sihle laughed out loud.
Sihle: “You ugly nje. Kids will laugh at you. It like you
going to Halloween” That caused us to laugh.
Juju got up picked her up and went with her upstairs.
I'm sure he is going to fix that mess in her face.
She was crying all the way to upstairs.
After few minutes they both came back and Elam was
angry at his brother. He put her on the chair. I
went with her breakfast to her. I fed her angry like
that. After I wiped their face then we took a crew
886 | P a g e
bus and I took them to school.
After dropping them off I went to the warehouse.
There's a hiest in next two days.
Me: “Majita” I found them cleaning guns.
Spiro: “Haah Queen you here already”
Me: “Of course I am. Are you guys ready for mission?”
They call me Queen now.
Me: “I need Big four in this mission. Spiro call one of
them”
He gave me his phone.
Me: “Lwandile Mbuso Sphe and Zamo you think we’re
playing games right?”
Mbuso: “No Queen. It's just that I...”
Me: “Mbuso tell them that I need the four of you in the
warehouse tonight!” I hung up.
Me: “These kids think I'm running a spaza here”
After I was diagnosed with clinical depression I joined
the gym full time and joined AA meetings
because I want drinking like there’s no tomorrow.
When I accepted Samkelo’s passing I worked on
myself. I’m still drinking the way I was before
Samkelo’s passing.
A call came in.
Me: “Ta Kat”
Kat: “Nompe Destroyers are back in the game. They
want to have power more than EAGLES so that
can't happen. We need more members and on that I
want Thabi Nontu Nokwe Rachel Siwe Evenly
887 | P a g e
and Mampho on the team”
Me: “They don't want to join Ta”
Kat: “I'm assigning you to train them. The mission that
is in two days Spiro will take it”
Me: “But Ta…”
Kat: “My word is final!”
Me: “Sure Ta” he hung up.
I threw my phone on the table.
Spiro: “And then?”
Me: “I have to train those bitches who hate me
because Ta Kat want them in the team. The mission
will be led by you”
Spiro: “I'm honoured”
Me: “Nxaa! Uyaphapha”
The Big four is married now. Lwandile and Rachel
Mbuso and Evenly Sphe and MaMpho Zamo and
Siwe. They are based in Durban. I went back to my
house bath and changed to a skinny jean and whitev-
shape shirt and cream Jimmy Choee heels. Took my
Burberry bag. I took my black Mustang.
I'm going to Nontu's house.
When I got there I rang the bell she answered and
opened the gate. In my bag I have thee loaded guns
just in case. I got out of my car and went to the front
door. I don't see their cars maybe she is alone.
Nokwe: “Oh God!” she was sipping champagne.
Me: “Hey ladies”
Thabi: “Yeah bitch whatever!”
888 | P a g e
Nontu: “What are you doing in my house?”
Me: “Can I get champagne?”
Nontu: “I don't have have it”
I got up with my bag went to the kitchen. They cheered
they thought I'm going. I came back with a whiskey on
the rocks.
Me: “I'm going to talk and you all of you are going to
listen”
They laughed out loud.
Nokwe: “You can be a gangster but you don't own me”
The four is quiet.
Me: “The reason you all here you were waiting for me
to get here so shut up!” I'm getting annoyed.
Nontu: “Please leave my house”
Me: “Nxaa voetsek!” I took out my full loaded gun.
Me: “I knew you'll want us to do this meeting in a hard
way. If one of you opens her mouth while I'm
talking I'll shoot her. So listen and listen very carefully.
From Tomorrow I'll be here to take to all of
you I'm going to train you to fight to shoot and to kill.
Understood?”
Silence.
Me: “I knew it! Tomorrow 04:30 am sharp I'll be here.
I'm not your friend don't try to be smart. Bye
bitches!” I threw the glass on the floor. I left.
I went to check on the club. Everything is okay. I went
home. Took off my clothes I took my husband's
Versace shirt and I wore it I went to the study to work.
889 | P a g e
At14:30 I was outside Juju's school to fetch
them then went to the little ones.
Juju was on front sit. He connected his phone...
“I'm back in the game bathi second Mlazi Milano
bashaya thru pass ngal'fakae nettini..."
I cleared my throat. He lowered the volume.
Juju: “Mom we have to play this song. Dad loved it and
in three weeks times the competition
remembers? So triplets have to know our dance for us
to win”
Me: “Okay! On weekend we going to start practising”
Sma: “We must not include Elam” Those two don't get
along.
Elam: “Please leave my name alone!”
Sihle: “Oh God!” he rolled his eyes.
Elam: “Don't do that Sihlelelwe! You look like a lizard”
Nka: “Shut up! Elam”
Lethu: “Tell her dude”
Elam: “I have such idiots and ugly brothers! Mxm!” I
just laughed.
Me: “My black diamond you’re so savage?”
Elam: “You heard that? I'm a black diamond” it with
pride.
Sma: “Mxm! Don't be proud about being black...”
Elam: “Black diamond is a rare stone which is
expensive and I'm the only girl. So I'm rare!”
Me: “That's my girl!”
Drama Queen!
890 | P a g e
We got home. They took their bags and went in I
followed them. Yazi those bitches don't know me. I
text their husband's that I need them in the warehouse
at 22:00pm. I got inside ordered pizza for all of us.
Sihle came down.
Me: “Sihle you not okay. Can we talk?”
Sihle: “I'm okay mom” he faked a smile.
Me: “Sihlelelwe I know you I'm your mother please talk
to me”

Chapter 47

Sihle: “Okay. There is this boy in my class who is smart

and girls like him. Now Enhle is busy giggling
with him” he scratched his head roughly just like his
father. I giggled.
Sihle: “What?”
Me: “This is really stressing you out. Listen my boy you
so smart too. Find out what Enhle is subject
she likes maybe if she is giggling with him it just that
they are talking about the subject they both like”
891 | P a g e
He clicked his fingers like he was thinking.
Sihle: “Enhle loves Natural Sciences but she is bit
struggling with Maths”
Me: “Offer her to help her with Maths then she will
giggle with you”
Sihle: “Haah thanks mom” he hugged me. I kissed the
top of his head.
Lethu came wearing oversized sneakers.
Sihle: “And then?”
Lethu: “I love them I took them from the sneaker
room”
Sihle: “Take it off”
Lethu: “Why?”
Sihle: “It Dad’s sneakers”
Lethu: “So?”
Sihle: “It doesn’t belong to you”
Me: “Sihle. All of you here in this house are Samkelo's
children so he has a right to touch his father's
thing like you”
I went to Lethu I took off sneakers because it will trip
and hurt him. I took it back where he took them.
Being in the sneaker room reminds me of my husband
when Sihle takes one pair and hide it and he
would be grumpy all day if he didn't find it.
All his kids love Air Jordan sneakers even the younger
one. I think it culture now. The pizza came I
called them but Juju didn't come. I took his and went
to give him in his room. When I was about to
892 | P a g e
enter...
Juju: “You can't tell me that….Wait...Last time we used
protection and it broke... Did you take the
morning after pill? What!?... Jeez. My life couldn't get
any better....” he turned and he saw me
because I was inside the room. He hung up
immediately.
Me: “Talk”
Silence.
Me: “Samkelo Khumalo Jr I said talk before I rearrange
that face of yours” I'm angry.
Juju: “Mom I'm sorry...”
Me: “Don't be sorry I want the whole story because
before I beat you up!” I'm shouting.
Juju: “Nosihe is late” he is standing next to his bed.
Me: “You sexually active now? Okay. When did this
happen?” I sat on the couch before I don't want to
touch him because I'll hurt him.
Juju: “Second week of December”
I sigh.
Me: “What does the home pregnancy test say?”
Juju: “She is scared to take it”
Me: “She wasn't scared when she opens her legs for
you now she is scared to take a pregnancy test?”I
snapped.
He looked down.
Me: “Tell her to use pregnancy test. By tonight I need
to know the results or else I'll tell her mother” I
893 | P a g e
got up.
Juju: “Haaa mah”
Me: “Don't say that. It was nice fucking her right? Her
parents will know eventually. Does she have
any symptoms?”
Juju: “She is mood and she is vomiting a lot. Nowadays
she is so obsessed with lunchbar”
Me: “She is pregnant. Jesus moyo ngcwele!” I roughly
scratched my head.
Juju: “Mom I'm sorry...”
I left his room and went to my room. I got top of my
bed and I cried. If Samkelo was here he would've
known what to do but I guess I must face it heads on.
Nosihe is a lovely girl I know her as Juju's
girlfriend from grade 8 until now. She is the only girl I
know. Now she is pregnant doing grade 11.
After I called Kat and told him he must come there's
something I need to speak with him. The kids ate
I couldn't the way I'm angry I can't even eat. After they
went to bath.
Intercom rang I went to open for him. He is with
Andile. I took the whiskey and ice to the lounge.
Me: “I'm sorry to summon you like that”
Kat: “It’s okay”
Me: “I have a problem here and it big”
Silence.
Me: “Juju impregnated Nosihe” with a sigh.
Kat: “What?”
894 | P a g e
Andile: “Juju is sexually active?”
Me: “I can't even think”
Kat: “Juju! Come here now!”
He came running.
Me: “What did she said?”
Juju: “She is pregnant”
Kat took few steps and reached him. He slapped him.
When he was about to punch him Andile stopped him.
Kat: “Get out of my sight now!” Kat roared. Juju ran
upstairs crying.
Me: “I'm going to be a grandmother” I sat on a couch.
Kat: “Mkhulu Kat. Ei le ntwana maarn” Andile and I
cracked out laughing at what he said.
Me: “What now?”
Kat: “I think Mntungwa and Dlamini must go and pay
the damages soon as possible”
Me: “I have to buy daipers milk and all baby stuff
again!”
Andile: “Ei why I suspect Gwajo is in the same shit as
Juju?”
Kat: “What?”
Andile: “Zama loves Gwajo but these days she hates
him. She hits him bite spit mom said maybe
Thabi is pregnant”
Kat giggled.
Andile took out his phone and dailed he put it on
loudspeaker.
Andile: “Tell me now that you didn't impregnate
895 | P a g e
anyone” Yhooo!
Silence.
Andile: “Gwajo!”
Gwajo: “I'm here!”
Andile: “Silence is the answer. I'll beat the crap out of
you when I get there” he hung up. He slammed
his phone across the room.
Kat: “Welcome to grandfathers club ntwana!” he
laughed at him.
He didn't laugh. He gave him a dead stare.
Me: “Hayi! Hayi! I still love my furniture” They like to
fight over stupid these two.
Andile laughed.
Andile: “Maybe Uyi is on top of girl making her to study
your ceiling board”
The smile on Kat's face disappeared.
Me: “Do you remember making us pregnant almost the
same time. Kids got that pattern from their fathers”
Silence.
Andile: “Are you ready to go?”
Me: “Let me get ready” I went to check if my kids are
okay tuck them in then I went to check the other
two and lastly with Juju. I found him crying holding his
father's picture.
Me: “Everything will be alright son. I'm going out
please check others for me before you sleep” I brushed
his shoulder.
Juju: “Okay mom. I'm the big brother” he was trying
896 | P a g e
wiping tears away.
I went to wear my clothes then we drove to the
warehouse. At 22:00pm sharp the big four wasn't
here with their wives. The meeting continues without
them. 22:20pm they came in holding hands with
their partners.
Kat: “Nompe is this what happening here?” he pointed
at them. They came and sat down.
Me: “Lwandile what time is it?” calmly.
Lwandile: “I'm sorry...”
Me: “I asked you a question I won't repeat it”
Silence.
Me: “Mhm you were busy nimuncanana masende
while I said the meeting is at 22:00 sharp? I want to
make it clear to you guys that your wives as you know
they are joining us. I don't have time for games
I mean business. I'll take you wives for training kicking
and screaming if I have to beat them shoot
them to get things done I will so don't be surprised”
TK: “Okay Queen”
Nontu: “Tell me you are joking”
Me: “You think I have time for games wena. As you
said I'm not your friend so don't take me lightly
because this during this training we going to be
enemies even more”
Nokwe got up as she was approaching the exit. I shot
where the bullet passed her face intentionally.
Nokwe: “Fuck! What are you doing? You almost killed
897 | P a g e
me!” she yelled at me.
Me: “That was intentional next time I won't miss so get
back your ass now before I shot you”
She came quickly as she could and she sat down.
Tomorrow morning be ready before 04:30am I hate
to wait. Ta Kat continue with the meeting. I should
remind big four who I am I think they tend to forget
me now.
They drove me back to my house. I took a bath and
went to sleep. In the morning I woke up did my
morning rituals and I went to wake up the kids. I bath
Nkanyezi Elam and Lethu. Lethu has his own
diet plan even his lunch box is different from the
others. He is eating low GI in bread all those things.
At 03:00am I was up already doing lunch boxes for my
kids. After I went to bath. I wore my gymming
clothes and Jordan training shoes. At 04:15 I was
outside Nontu's house. I'm using my car. I left the
crew bus Lwandile will take kids to school with it. I got
inside I found them in the lounge.
Me: “Good morning” in a happy tone
“Morning...” I heard few of them.
Me: “Okay. Let's keep it moving. We are using the crew
bus” I'm driving. I was speeding all the way to
the warehouse.
Nontu: “Some of us have kids we don't want to die and
live them alone”
Me: “Whatever!”
898 | P a g e
We got to the warehouse.
Me: “In this training you do as I say. I'm word goes. I
hope I don't have to use gun on someone here” I took
my gun out.
Me: “Round this space here for 10 times! Let's go!” I'm
in front I even have the whistle.
They did it.
Me: “Okay! 50 push ups. Let's go!” I shout.
Thab: “What?”
Me: “Do as I say”
At 07:30am we stop we will continue in the evening. I
drove back to my sister's house to take my car.
Me: “See you this afternoon”
Nokwe: “Mxm!”
I laughed sarcastically.
Me: “What amazes me is you busy hating for not telling
about your husband being gangsters but you
don't hate them. You should be hating those men who
fuck you all night everyday but no! You hate
me because I don't fuck you right? Nontu I thought you
were my sister now I see I was wrong. Sisters
don't behave like you do! I lost my husband I found out
that I have depression and my son is diabetic
but that didn't matter to you because you think I'm the
baddest person on earth” I felt tears in my
eyes. I took my car keys and left them there.
When I got to my house I took a bath. I'm wearing a
maroon body suit and long black skirt with black
899 | P a g e
sandals with white doek on my head.
Me: “Au madoda mfazi ka Samkelo” Iooking myself in
the mirror. I took my car scars and went to
Umhlanga.
Me: “Sanibonani mah”
MaNdlovu: “Unjani makoti?”
Me: “Ngiyaphila mah ninjani?”
MaNdlovu: “Siyaphila nathi”
I took a sit. A maid came with tea and juice. I pour
myself a juice.
MaNdlovu: “uBaba ka Khethokuhle uzokwehla Manje”
Me: “Yebo mah”
Mandlovu: “How are the kids?”
Me: “They are doing well mah”
That's our conversation and it ends there nothing
more.
Silence.
Mntungwa: “Makoti how are you?” sat on his couch.
Me: “I can't say I'm good baba if things are this messy”
Mntungwa: “What happened?” he sat straight.
Me: “Juju impregnated Nosihe” with almost a sigh.
MaNdlovu: “What?”
Mntungwa: “Hawu kodwa! Leyangane. What we do
after this?”
I keep quiet waiting the solution from him.
Mntungwa: “I'm going to pay damages on behalf of his
father. I need to have a talk with him”
Me: “Ngiyabonga Mbulazi. I will bring them after
900 | P a g e
school”
Mntungwa: “Elam would be there too?”
MaNdlovu: “I love her dearly but sometimes she is too
much” I laughed.
Mntungwa: “If she will be here too MaNdlovu please
find that card I created for her and Thando” I
laughed. Elam is a photocopy of Thando. Physical
appearance body structure being rude and
shopping.
Me: “I will bring them on weekend because Elam told
me that her aunty is coming on Friday”
MaNdlovu: “Yeah she is coming. Thando is teaching
Elam on how to demand money and to like fancy
things”
We had a funny conversation after I went to the home.
Lwandile offered to fetch them so I went home
to relax.
Elam: “Uncle Lwandile please tell Amahle that Aunty is
coming home so we planned girls out so she
has to go with us”
Lwandile: “Okay Princess I will tell her to call you”
Elam: “Thanks Uncle” she ran away.
Lwandile: “Princess you forgot something!” he pointed
his cheek.
She ran back to her Uncle. She kissed his cheek they
both giggled and she ran to her room.
Me: “Thanks for helping me with them. Without your
help...”
901 | P a g e
Lwandile: “You don't have to thank me Sisi. They are
my brother's children so they are mine too”
Me: “Look how grown you are. Being a married man
changed you a lot” He smiled and look down.
Lwandile: “Haah I'm a grown up now a husband and a
father of two”
Silence.
Lwandile: “Juju told me what happened”
Me: “Eish Lwandile mfethu. I went to see Mntungwa
today and he said he will go to Nosihe's family to
pay the damages. I wonder how they will take this
matter because Nosihe is 17 years old me”
Lwandile: “We'll accept and deal with whatever they
will say about this situation”
Me: “Luckily money is not a problem but I'm worried
about Nosihe”
Juju came down holding his phone crying.
Lwandile: “What is going on now?”
Juju: “Nosihe's parents found out about her being
pregnant. They chased her away from home. Now
she is in the streets” he cried louder.
Me: “Sma!”
He came quickly.
Me: “Please look after them we are going out for a
while” I took the car keys. Lwandile Juju and I we
drove to Athlone park to Nosihe's house street we
found her with her clothes crying.
Juju: “Shhhh babe I'm here. Please calm down” he was
902 | P a g e
trying to calm her down.
Lwandile: “Nosihe get up so that we can go home” I
took her clothes opened the boot put her clothes.
I got in the car and I drove home. I wanted her
mother's number from her. I called her to tell her that
Nosihe is in my house. She didn't say anything.
Me: “Juju go and make water with sugar for her to
calm down”
Juju went to do what I told him to. She drank the
water. After 30minutes she was calm.
Sihe: “Thanks Mrs Khumalo for letting to sleep in your
house”
Me: “Please call me Mom” She nodded.
Lwandile's phone rang. He went to answer it then he
came back to us.
Lwandile : “Family I have to go. I will see you
tomorrow”
Me: “Okay. Thanks Lwandile”
He left.
Me: “Okay kids. It’s time for rules. You will sleep in
separated rooms. Nosihe when you come back
from school put your washing in the washing basket so
that Mam'S our helper can wash your washing
okay?”
Sihe: “Yes Mrs...Mom”
Me: “There is a kitchen. There's everything that you
will need. Please eat if you want I don't want my
first grandchild to be unhealthy” She giggled.
903 | P a g e
She is pregnant. Nosihe is not light in complexion but
now she is a yellow bone! I can't believe I'm
going to be a grandmother but ke what can I say. I left
them in the kitchen went to the Nkanyezi and
Lethu's room. They sleep together in different beds but
sometimes I found them sleeping in the same
bed.
Nka: “Mom Lethu is not feeling okay”
Me: “Why do you say that?”
Nka: “He is sleeping by this time” he is sad. I went to
Lethu's bed and shook him.
Me: “Are you okay my boy?”
Lethu: “Yes mom I'm okay” he yawns. I checked his
body temperature it's normal.
Me: “Nkanyezi Lethu is fine I think he was tired” He
giggled and came to Lethu's bed climbed in and
jumped.
Lethu: “Nkanyezi go away!”
Nka: “I don't want to”
Lethu: “Why?”
Nka: “Me and you are twins” I laughed at him when he
said that.
When they fight with Elam they tell her that she is not
their pair because she is rude. They loved each
other but not Elam. Elam don't get along with anyone
in her siblings. I hope she will change when she
is older. Nkanyezi and Lethu look exactly like the Juju
and others they all look like their father. Elam is
904 | P a g e
the only one who is different but her voice is hoarse
and.
I went back to the kitchen to start cooking. I found Sihe
(Nosihe) in the kitchen chopping an apple in
small pieces.
Me: “Cravings?” She nodded shly.
Me: “When I was pregnant with Juju I was so crazy. I
stole his father Cologne because I loved it smell
and his smell but he annoyed and I hated him
throughout the pregnancy” She was in stitches.
Sihe: “I like lunch bar...”
Me: “You don't have to be shy Sihe. I'm not proud of
what you both did being sexually active at this
age but there's nothing I can do about it”
Sihe: “I'm really sorry Mrs..Mom”
Me: “Mhm okay. You'll get used to me I shout when I
have to but I'm sweet and we can talk about
everything”
Elam: “Oh darling! You here but no one told me about
your visit” when she saw Sihe. Juju was behind
him.
Me: “You know each other?”
Elam: “Yes we know each other. I'm glad there is
someone I can talk to and who is not jealousy about
me here” Sihe laughed.
Me: “Juju after eating I'm going to Aunty Nomxo”
Juju: “Okay mom. We will look after them”
Me: “Especially Lethu don't allow him to eat
905 | P a g e
everything. You know his things are. Nkanyezi likes to
eat
Lethu's wine gum don't give him”
Sihe: “Lethu has a problem?”
Me: “He is diabetic so he has his own diet. He doesn’t
understand his condition for now but he will
understand when he is older than this”
I finished up cooking. I dished for everyone. We ate
and they went to take a bath. Lethu don't l ike
water like Nkanyez. Lethu always ask why it is
important for him to bath like really?
I went to the warehouse I found them there waiting.
Me: “Sorry to keep you waiting”
Nontu: “No problem”
Thabi: “We were early” with a smile.
Nokwe: “Can we talk Nompe?”
Me: “If it about training yeah we can talk but if not I
don't have time”
Nontu: “Nompe please”
Thabi: “Please”
Me: “Okay 5 minutes”
Nontu: “I'm sorry for not being there when you needed
me the most. I was angry selfish and stupid.
I'm really sorry” I didn't say anything.
Thabi: “You've been through a lot friend I was
supposed to be there for you and the kids. I'm sorry”
Nokwe: “Mngani I'm sorry for neglecting you while you
needed me”
906 | P a g e
I didn't have any emotion I don't know whether I'm
angry or sad.
Me: “I've been through a lot. I lost my husband in the
most tragic way in that night I found out that
my husband in no more I gave birth to the triplets. Do
you how hard it is to know that your kids feel
neglected because you have three new-borns? My
mother was there for me when my kids were too
young. I was hard I won't lie. I must do everything for
myself. I never thought you will drop me like
that. I thought we were sisters but I was wrong. I must
take my kids to Joburg for Christmas for the
first time they didn't spent Christmas with their cousins
because you hated me and kids. After all these
years I made sure you guys and your kids were
protected all the time because I love you. Wena Nontu
I went to rescue you and Iyazi when I was pregnant
with triplets I risked my life and my kids’ life to
make sure that you and Iyazi are okay but now I'm not
important. One more thing I still love you and
your kids but now I don't have time let's get to it” I
clapped my hands.
Nontu and Thabi wiped tears in their eyes. We trained.
After I went home
------------
Insert 49
On Saturday Mntungwa and Dlamini went to pay the
damages at Nosihe's parents house at illovu
907 | P a g e
township where they could slaughter the cow. Her
father said he wants lobola for her child. Mntungwa
didn't allow that because they are still young and still
at school so her father said she isn't allowed to
come back. As a family I decided to take in Nosihe
permanent. She is pregnant with my grandchild I
can't chase her away when my son ruined her life for
impregnating her at a young age so I took a
responsibility.
Me: “Kids! Come here all of you!” I'm shouting
standing near the stairs.
I went back to the kitchen to take pizza. I found them
sitting in the lounge. I went to sit on my
husband's couch. I'm a mother and a father to them
now.
Me: “I need to talk to all of you about something
serious. Black diamond I'm serious today I'm not
joking *She nodded* We have a new family member
Nosihe. She will stay with us from now on wards.
She is pregnant with Juju's child so I want you to take
care of her. She touches everything like every
one of you. Am I clear?”
Them: “Yes mom”
Me: “Let's eat pizza kids”
We ate pizza. After I went to the kitchen to start
cooking.
Sihe: “Can I help you mom?”
Me: “Don't you have homework?”
908 | P a g e
Sihe: “I did! my homework on Friday”
Me: “Oh lord bless this clever child here!” I said that
loud. She laughed.
Me: “What do you want to do after matric?”
Sihe: “I love to study Medicine”
Me: “Mhm. I like on that one. You and Juju like the
same thing”
Sihe: “Ahh that one annoys me. He failed Maths class
test”
Me: “He failed?”
Sihe: “He got 69% and he say he was stressed. I don't
date failures” I laughed.
Me: “I like what you are doing keep it going. Don't let
being pregnant make you fail. Keep that
competition between of the two of you going so that
you can excel in your schoolwork”
Sihe: “Thanks mom. Tomorrow it Top ten for the last
year. I'm expecting troffies” she was smiling.
Juju: “I'm taking the first position” She laughed.
Sihe: “You wish! I'm the genius one so chill!” She said
with pride.
Me: “Okay kids. Whoever gets any position will do
shopping this weekend”
They both screamed.
Juju: “Let the best man win”
Sihe: “Mxm!”
After cooking we ate. They slept early because they
have school tomorrow. I didn't do much I went to
909 | P a g e
my room. I need something to up our game in IT
something big but I don't know what or how but I
must think of something.
In the morning I went to the warehouse. Today they
are fighting with professionals so I must witness
this. I need more ladies in my team.
Me: “Today you are fighting with professionals each of
you has her partner so please be focused”
Lwandile came in.
Lwandile: “Yhooo”
Me: “They won't feel their bodies after that”
He laughed. Spiro came in.
Spiro: “That was the best heist ever!”
Me: “Mxm! We will never hear the end of it” He
laughed.
Me: “Guess what? I have another one but I'm still
waiting for confirmation of route that will be used”
Lwandile: “Money or?”
Me: “Jewellery mchana that is worth 25 million”
Spiro: “Fuck!”
Me: “Stick with me boys!” I tapped my shoulders.
Spiro: “Plan A Plan B Plan C and Plan D”
Me: “Oh don't remind me that” Axe used to say that
when there was a big heist coming.
Me: “I don't want any mistakes because I'll shoot you
all” I imitated his voice.
Lwandile: “Was it nice to be together on heists?”
Me: “We were both professionals on the hiests but it
910 | P a g e
was nice to see another side of him. And he was
so damn sexy when he was doing killings or serious on
the scene”
Lwandile: “You had another sort of relationship” Spiro
laughed.
Spiro: “It was crazy so loving so hating killing their
enemies together him buy her Axes and all crazy
stuff”
Lwandile: “Yhooo. I heard about Mbangatha brothers”
Spiro: “You were young by that time boy!” he brushed
Lwandile’s head.
Me: “Are you done? Please go and soak them for an
hour”
After an hour they came back looking like hell. I went
home. I called Ta Kat and Andile luckily they're
in town. They are coming here for lunch. I cooked for
them.
Me: “Haah grandfathers you here”
Andile: “Yes. Grandmother we are here” We laughed.
The table was set already we went to the dining and
we feasted. After we went to the study because
we need to have a serious talk.
Me: “I'm thinking about this big thing or idea but I
need in put in it”
Kat: “Okay”
Me: “There is this heist that is about to happen. I'm
thinking of ideas but there is this good idea I'm
thinking”
911 | P a g e
Andile: “Carry on”
Me: “I need to create an automatic in the truck we are
aiming and those cars that will be around it.
Turn them automatically to face the direction they are
coming from so that even the police can try to
catch up the truck they won't get into it. All the
trackers in the truck will be disconnected in that way
the truck will go where the gang would be then kill the
drivers and take everything we want then to
turn the truck to where it was”
They both clapped their hands.
Kat: “Excellent!”
Me: “I will need equipment to pull this together”
Andile: “Hayi I need cameras to this massive collision
that will happen”
Kat: “Can I be there?”
I laughed. After the meeting they left. I went to pick
the kids from school.
Juju: “I told you!”
Sihe: “Mxm! You not funny”
Sma: “But you both did well”
Me: “Hey kids”
Them: “Hey mom”
Sihe: “We both got the same position”
Me: “Which position?”
Sihe: “First position”
Sma: “She must be happy”
Juju is all smiling. We went to pick the three rascals.
912 | P a g e
Tomorrow we going to SPCA to buy puppies and
a rabbit. We went to the mall to celebrate. I went to
buy iPad for her. She is the only one who don't
have it.
I ordered food to be delivered on my house from my
favourite restaurant. I'm not cooking today.
Me: “Homework time kids!”
I heard them talking but I didn't hear what they were
saying. After 30minutes I saw Sihle on his phone
typing something.
Me: “Do I have to switch of your network on your
phones to makes your schoolwork?”
Sihle: “No mom please!”
Me: “Put that phone on the table now before I lose it”
calmly. He did what I said. Sma is not himself I
don't know why. He doesn’t do things I say he must do.
This thing of his started-on Sunday. The food
came. After doing their homework we went to the
table to feast.
Me: “Sma please pass the salt to me my boy” He gave
me some annoyed look. I took the salt.
I ate my food.
Me: “On weekend we are practising our dance” Sma
said something I didn't hear.
Nka: “What dance mom?”
Me: “You don't know it Nkanyezi. We used to dance
with Juju Sma Sihle and your father”
Nka: “Mhm okay” Lethu was playing games on his
913 | P a g e
iPad.
Me: “Lethukukhanya I'm talking”
Lethu: “Sorry mom” he quickly put his iPad away.
Sma: “I won't be able to practice on the weekend”
Me: “Why?”
Sma: “Just because”
Me: “Smamukele Khumalo I'm still your mother don't
talk to me like that!” I snapped.
Sma: “Mxm!” he got up and went to his door. He
banged the door heard it.
Lethu: “What's wrong with him?”
Me: “Nothing my boy”
Sihle: “He is grumpy these days I don't understand
him”
They had funny conversation but I didn't pay attention
to it. I was thinking about Sma's behaviour and
it piss me off I won't lie. I went to his room I found him
him holding his father picture that stay in his
side table of his bed crying.
Me: “What going on my boy?”
He looked up and wiped his tears.
Sma: “Nothing”
He sat up straight. I went to sit next to him.
Sma: “Who are you?”
Me: “Who am I? What kind of a question is that?” I'm
confused by this question.
Sma: “Are you my mother?”
Me: “What?”
914 | P a g e
Sma: “Are you my mother yes or no?” he was crying.
I took a deep breath.
Sma: “So Uncle Mthoko was right”
Me: “What? He did what?” I've never been so pissed.
Me: “We need to have a serious talk me and you.
Please calm down so that we can talk” He drank the
water next to him.
Me: “Let's go to my room so that we can talk” I took his
hand and went to my room. I made sit on the
couch on the corner. I went to the safe to take his
photo album when he was young and papers that
say I'm his legal adoption mother. I went back to him.
Me: “14 years ago Sakhi found a 2 years old boy inside
this yard carrying his little backpack he took
him in. We were all shocked to see this little boy but
what amazed me was he looked exactly like my
husband and Juju. When I asked Samkelo about this
boy he said “I’m sorry”. That was the difficult
time to find out that my husband has another child
who is 2 years old and I didn't know anything about
him. I told your father to leave my house because I was
angry he went to take his clothes and when
he was about to take you I told him to leave you he
wasn't sure about it but he left you. Everybody
left after him. I was left with Juju and you. I bath you
and changed you to warm pyjamas. I sat on the
chair all night looking at you are sleeping and I thought
I mustn't take you to your grandparents I
915 | P a g e
wanted to give you the opportunity to know your
father like Juju. My father died when I was 5 years
old so I didn't want to be the bad person to deny you
the opportunity to know your father. Your father
and I decided that I must adopt you and be the legal
mother for you. I may not be the biological mother
to you but I love you with all I have I would never let
anyone hurt you I will die first before I let them
hurt you. You have never seen me mistreating. I've
never pretended to love you. I loved you since day
one and I would never ever stop to love you” he broke
down. I pulled him to my chest he sobbed so
painfully. I rocked him until he calmed down.
Sma: “Uncle Mthoko didn't tell me that” he said after a
long time.
Me: “What did he said?”
Sma: “He told me that you were mistreating me when
my father wasn't there beating me even if I
didn't do anything wrong. He said all the bad things
about you”
Me: “I'm not surprised my boy. Ask anyone like Uncle
Kat and Andile or Uncle Spikes or Grandpa they
will tell”
I heard a knock on the door.
Me: “Come in”
Nkanyezi and Lethu came in following each other as
always.
Nka: “Uncle Mthoko is here to see you Sma”
916 | P a g e
Me: “Okay. Go and tell him I'm coming” I told them.
They left.
I took my gun corked it and put it in the back.
Sma: “I believe it now”
Me: “Believe what sonny?”
Sma: “That you're a gangster. If you didn't love me you
would've killed me long time ago”
Me: “Haa kill you? Who would be killing Mathematics
now?” he laughed.
Me: “I love you my boy. You are my child child blood or
not. Just to think of it I forgot that long time
ago” He stands up and we exited the room and we
went downstairs.
Sma: “Uncle how are you?”
Mthoko: “I'm good and you?”
Sma: “I'm good”
I sat to the couch across Mthoko. Sma sat next to me.
Me: “What are you trying to do Mthokozisi?”
Mthoko: “I told him the truth about you and I'm glad
he knows now”
Me: “You happy to make him cry. Are you still bitter
about the will even now?”
Mthoko: “What? I'm not bitter about that. I wanted
him to know the truth” he was looking at Sma.
Me: “What did you achieved by telling him that? You
know that he is 16 now in next two year she will
get some of his portion so you saw the opportunity
now”
917 | P a g e
Sma: “Whoooa. Uncle you wanted to use me to get
some of my father's money?”
Silence.
Mthoko: “No...I . It does not like that Sonny. Please
don't let her to get in between us”
Sma: “You made her the bad person to me while you
knew that she was and still treating me like her
own child. Please leave my mother's house now!
Before I make something I will regret” he roared like
his father.
Mthoko stood up.
Mthoko: “I'm sorry boy but please let me explain...” he
was trying to explain.
Sma turned and slapped him so hard. Everything
happened so fast I saw Juju and Sihle trying take off
Sma on top of Mthoko. I took my gun and shot in the
air and someone stood still.

Chapter 48

After some time.

Sihle: “Leave the house!” to his Uncle. Mthoko left.
Sma broke down and his brothers hugged him. They all
came to hug him. We all sat down. Lethu is
awful quiet.
Sihe: “Are you okay boy?”
We all looked at him. His is shaking. I picked him up he
918 | P a g e
is shaking. I think the shot of the bullet shocked
him. His temperature was high. I called his doctor and
he came quickly. He gave him some pill and he
slept.
Sma: “I'm sorry for that mom”
Sihle: “It not your fault ntwana. It that moron of an
Uncle who caused this.
Sihe: “I wonder how he passed in Medical school when
heist his stupid”
We all laughed.
Nka: “Mom is Lethu gonna be fine?”
Me: “Yes my boy he will be fine. Even his doctor said
he will be fine”
Nka: “Can I sleep with him tonight so that if he is not
okay at night I can come and call you?” He loves
his brother.
Me: “Why don't you come to sleep with me the two of
you?” I touched his nose.
Nka: “Okay mom. Should I bring our blankets?”
Me: “No don't bring them”
He nodded.
My kids are the reason that kept me going all these
years after my husband died. Being a mother of 6
isn't a joke. I haven't dated after he died not that I
didn't have a time I thought of being naked in front
of another man would be tarnishing his memory in my
life. My life is so busy. I'm a leader in the gang
in Durban branch a mother of 6 so I'm busy and now
919 | P a g e
my first grandchild is on the way so I won't be
able to have a man. I mean I have kids and I won't
leave my house so that man would come in my
house and sleep in my bed where I slept with my late
husband. Never! Never!
After I went to take Lethu to my bedroom and
Nkanyezi took their pillows. He always complains
about
my high pillows so whenever they come to sleep in my
bedroom he comes with his pillow. I went to
take a bath and I slept with my rascals.
In the morning I woke up took a bath put on my silk
rope she I woke them up and I went to wake up
the others. Sihe loves to sleep but I think its pregnancy.
They all woke up. After they met me in the
kitchen making breakfast.
Sihe: “How do you do it mom?” yawning.
Me: “Soon you will understand baby”
I dished up for them. As usually princess Elam is late.
Me: “Black diamond!”
Elam: “I'm coming!”
Nka: “Mom I'm wearing that ugly underwear and I
don't like it”
Me: “Where are your underwear?” I asked while I'm
taking Lethu's medication on the counter.
Nka: “I don't know”
Sihle: “The one that he is wearing is Lethu's
underwear”
920 | P a g e
Lethu: “Oh please! Shut up” I laughed.
Me: “Sihe baby please pray for the baby not to get
these hyperactive and crazy genes here” I say
clapping my hands. I went to take a new underwear for
Nkanyezi on my closet. If you have so many
kids you must have new pairs of things like underwear
because you'll never know. I went back to the
kitchen I took his school pant off.
Nka: “Sihe close your eyes” Everyone cracked out
laughing. I took off Lethu's underwear that Nkanyezi
was wearing and put a new underwear on him and put
his pant on.
Juju: “Why Sihe was supposed to close his eyes?”
Nka: “I didn't want her to see my Mbulazi” he closed
his eyes with his hands. We laughed again.
Sma: “Don't be silly. She bath you nje few days ago”
Nka: “I didn't let her to touch it”
“You are real Samkelo's son” a voice. It’s Mntungwa.
Lethu: “Haaah Mkhulu” he and Elam ran to him.
I greeted him. I went to wear something representable.
I went back again to the kitchen. I offered him
breakfast he said he came to check after yesterday's
saga. He said I must come to Umhlanga after
dropping the kids to school. I went to drop them off
then I went to Umhlanga.
Mntungwa: “What happened exactly Makoti?”
Me: “Baba I noticed Sma's rude behaviour Sunday
night. He never been rude towards yesterday we
921 | P a g e
were eating supper I told him to pass salt...” I told him
the whole.
Mntungwa: “Ei! Ngiyaxolisa ngokwenzakele Makoti. I'm
glad Smamukele understood your point of
view and um happy he beat him a little”
MaNdlovu: “Mbulazi!”
Mntungwa: “What Mthoko did was way out of line. He
does this shit because Samkelo is not here if
he was he would have been at the living shit out of
him”
The door swung open.
Kat: “Where is he?” he was livid.
Mntungwa: “In his room”
MaNdlovu: “Mntungwa how can you say that?”
Kat ran upstairs we heard things breaking upstairs
surely he is panel beating him. MaNdlovu went upstairs
and we just looked at her.
Mntungwa: “In times like this Khethokuhle follows his
name” This old man here is Savage. He played with his
fingers.
After some time Kat came.
Kat: “How can he say that to him? How” He sat down.
Mntungwa: “Mthoko is so stupid”
Kat: “I took this with me” he gave me a CD. I gave him a
confused look.
Kat: “Samkelo planted hidden cameras after
Smamukele arrival. He wanted to see how you treat
him
922 | P a g e
when he isn't around”
I laughed out loud.
Kat: “He said there's no way you love Sma like that”
Me: “Sounds exactly like him”
Mntungwa: “Makoti I'm glad my late son found
someone like you who loved him even if even he made
the last mistake in marriage to break your trust and
have a child on his shenigans”
I smiled and bowed my head.
Mthoko came wanting to complain at his father but he
found us sitting together laughing. He went
back to his room. I spent my day thereafter I went to
fetch the kids we went SPCA to buy two puppies
and a rabbit.
I asked them if they have pitbull puppies luckily we
found them and a grey and white rabbit. I paid as
usually they took their puppies and rabbit then we
went to the car. Nkanyezi's puppy is black and
white and Lethu's puppy is brown and white.
Me: “Any names for your pets?”
Nka: “I'm still thinking mom”
Lethu: “Me too”
Elam: “Me three”
Sihle: “Oh someone remembered that she has her
pairs”
Sihe: “Ncooah”
Sma is quiet.
Lethu: “I have the name mom”
923 | P a g e
Me: “Let's hear it” I was looking at him on a mirror.
Lethu: “Elam” with a big smile.
Nka: “Mine is Ela”
I couldn't hold my laugh. We all laughed. Elam cried
and I stopped.
Me: “No boys you won't name your puppies after your
sister's name. No! Find another name for puppies with
a firm tone.
Silence.
Elam: “I found the perfect name for my rabbit”
Sihe: “What is it?”
Elam: “Nkale” she was looking at them.
We go home I parked. They took their bags and old
brothers helped them carrying the pet's carriages
inside the house.
Sihle: “Nkale? means what Elam?”
Elam: “Nka for Nkanyezi and Le for Lethu” she was
pointing at them. They laughed.
Me: “Elamantungwa I said no one is naming their pet
after someone's name. Am I clear?”
"Okay mom"-she say. I put my handbag on the kitchen
counter when I turned I saw Nontu Thabi and
Nokwe sitting in the lounge drinking juice.
Nontu: “Hey kids”
Kids: “Hi” they gave her the low “hi”
All 7 of them went upstairs to their rooms.
Me: “No pets on your beds!” I shouted.
Me: “You still know my address?” me being me.
924 | P a g e
Nokwe: “Hawu Nompe”
Me: “Okay why are you here?”
Thabi: “We here to visit you” I laughed sarcastically.
Princess Elam came to me.
Elam: “Mom Juju don't want us to order pizza”
Me: “Why?”
Elam: “I don't know”
Me: “Okay. Tell him to order pizza I didn't cook” I was
brushing her back. She left.
Nokwe: “I hear that she is such a diva like her aunty”
Me: “You hear? You heard right she is a diva” She
looked at me.
Nontu: “You going to be a grandmother”
Thabi: “Ei! Don't remind me that” Gwajo also
impregnated his girlfriend.
Nokwe: “It like a pattern”
Nontu's phone rings.
Nontu: “Hello....What? What happened? When? Eish”
she hung up after.
Thabi: “What happened?”
Nontu: “Esihle is nowhere to be found” she was crying.
Esihle is her daughter that comes after Jaden.
Nontu: “I have to go” she took her handbag.
Me: “Sit down” I took my phone and it rang.
Me: “TK I'm with her now. I let you know after few
minutes” I hung up.
Me: “Come with me” I got up and they followed me.
I saw Sihe in the kitchen I think she is cooking. It the
925 | P a g e
first time I see her cooking but she helps me with
chopping and I'm enjoying her company.
When we got to the study I opened my laptop and they
were standing behind me. I tracked her down
I found GPS coordinates then voilà!
I took my phone and made a call.
Me: “The tracker is moving but it’s on N2. They passed
Tongaat Toll Plaza”
TK: “Eish. What now?”
Me: “Let's meet in the warehouse in 45 minutes” I
hung up.
Nokwe: “How did you track her down?”
Me: “Duh? All the kids have trackers on the head”
Them: “What?”
Me: “Yes you heard me. I dare you to take them out. I'll
kill you and feed you to dog" Their eyes popped out.
Me: “I have to go. I'll use another exit so bye”
I went to Juju's room with my laptop I found him with
Sihe shouting at each other.
Me: “And then you two?”
Sihe: “He is annoying sometimes” she left the room.
Me: “There's some where I need to be. Please look
after them”
Juju: “What I will get?”
Me: “I'll buy your baby Jordan's infant clothes” He
laughed and shook his head.
Juju: “Okay” I kissed his cheek. He quickly wiped it.
Juju: “I'm too old for that mom!”
926 | P a g e
Me: “Even if you're a grandpa you'll still be my baby
boy” I left him wiping lipstick on his. I went to my
room wore my clothes then I went to the warehouse. I
found them waiting.
Me: “Sorry to keep you waiting guys”
I took my laptop out. I checked the GPS coordinates. I
laughed.
Me: “They're at Mtunzini. They have nerves!”
Me: “Let's go guys!” we got to the car’s others are
using motorbikes. I would have us edit but I have
to keep on check on my laptop sot head was the best
option”
I received a call.
Me: “Spikes”
Spikes: “I had people who are looking at that place so
everything going according to the plan”
Me: “I always enjoy working with you because you the
best ntwana! Spikes lana ahlabangampela
ntwana” I praise him.
He laughed and hung up.
Me: “Spiro where is Lwandile and his friends?”
Spiro: “I don't know but somewhere partying”
Me: “I have to beat them up to keep them on the line”
I called AK-47.
AK: “Queen”
Me: “Please find The Big four for me. When I come
back from the Mtunzini I want them there. Their
legs up and their heads looking down”
927 | P a g e
AK: “Done!” he hung up.
You must be tough in this game when you want to
survive. I spoiled them too much now they must
know me. I will teach them a lesson.
When we go to Mtunzini suburbs Spikes was on set
with a sniper. My crew and I split into of ours. TK
have the plan of the house already. We are using
silencers guns we don't want noise. Destroyers are
holding TK's child.
I threw my scarf on the floor...
Voice: “Fuck! They are here!” they got up shouting and
I started shooting.
Voice: “Queen of Axe herself!”
When I turned he shot me in my left-hand arm.
Me: “Kutlwano” I groaned.
Kutlwano: “Long time no see”
He was shot in a tight I kicked him and left.
TK: “Let's go!” I take it that we have Esihle with us. I
got in the car. Spiro drove out fast. We got on N2
fast then we drove away.
Me: “That dickhead shot me”
Spikes took the first aid kit. He opened the whiskey
pour edit on the wound. After he took out the
bullet. I drank the whiskey after.
I woke up when I was at my house in the couch.
Nontu: “Thanks for saving my daughter's life” she
hugged me.
I groaned in pain.
928 | P a g e
Me: “Not too hard you are hurting me” I went to my
room to change the clothes with blood and wore
my normal clothes. When I came back Esihle was on
her mother’s arm.
Me: “I want to find out why they after us. It a new
thing or an old grudge” I sat down.
Machete: “Okay Queen”
Me: “Go and rest guys. Leave the big four there I will
attend them in the morning”
Me: “Nontu tomorrow you starting to train on how to
shoot. Early in the morning” They got up and
left.
At 03:00am I was up. My arm hurts but not that much.
I've been through a lot of physical pain so this
is nothing compared to what I've endured. I made
lunch boxes for the all of them. Nosihe have two
lunch boxes because she murders food she doesn’t eat.
I give her money on top of that. I put them on
the fridge I left a note on the fridge. I found my food in
the fridge. It is macaroni and cheese with
roasted chicken. It tastes so good. I ate it all because
when I leave it the lions I'm living with here will
eat it. My kids eat they don't play with food they eat it
just like their father even the princesss eats
like a boy. Elam eats 4 slices of bread while Amahle
Lwandile's daughter eats two.
At 04:15am I left I found the big four hanging. Yeah
that what I wanted.
929 | P a g e
Siwe: “Haaah!” she screamed.
Others followed.
Me: “Nxaa voetsek! Noise is not allowed here”
Siwe: “Please let them free” she was crying. I just
yawned and I wiped my tears.
I took opened the water put a hoarse pipe and hit the
with water. They woke up. Spiro came with
machete.
Me: “Unchain them and make them sit”
They unchained them and they sat.
Me: “How many times must I repeat myself to you
guys? I'm tired of saying one and the same thing”
I'm annoyed.
Siwe: “Please let them go...” I turned into her and I
slapped her so hard.
Me: “You know what to do Spiro. Assign them to the
warehouse duties for the next two months and
you let's go” I walked fast.
We got in our shooting range.
Me: “You here to shoot not to miss. Take it as if you
are shooting your worst enemy” I walked around
them.
Me: “By next week I want to be done already”
They kept shooting the wrong spots.
Me: “Should I shoot one of you so that you can do it
correct?”
Siwe: “No!”
Me: “Good! Shoot the right spots then”
930 | P a g e
After they were done. They did good with on their first
day. I went home to rest a little. I sent Spiro to
fetch my crew from the school. I'm tired. I went to
make sandwiches for them after I was done they
came in. Sihe went straight to the fridge. I gave her
sandwiches and juices.
Juju: “You have to stop eating like that”
Sihe: “Oh please! Shut up”
Lethu: “You got it right Sihe”
Juju: “Mom what happened in your arm?” All eyes
were on me.
Me: “I was scratched by a fence. In the garage. It
nothing big it a minor thing” I say brushing my arm.
They made their home and I cooked. When they went
to sleep I called Sma to the study. I put the disk
in another laptop. He was the video his father took and
I didn't know anything about it.
I went to sleep after.

Machete: “Queen where are you?”
Me: “I'm at home. Why?” I'm confused.
Machete: “I thought it’s you I see here”
Me: “No I'm at home”
He hung up after.
Ta Kat called after.
Kat: “Our enemy is back in town”
Me: “Which one Ta?”
931 | P a g e
Kat: “Kagiso Maite”
Me: “Oh lord! Please be ready when I request the on-
point missile”
Kat: “Please don't make me laugh”
Me: “His young brother Kutlwano was the one who
took Esihle and he shot me in the arm. He wil rue
the day he ever thought thus madness”
Kat: “We'll meet soon to plan his downfall”
Me: “I'll be happy to see that day. He killed my
husband”
Kat: “We'll make him pay dearly”
After he hung up.
I decided to sleep all day but I was disturbed by a call.
Me: “Yeah sure
Nontu: “We can meet in our favourite restaurant in an
hour?”
Me: “I want to sleep” in a low voice.
Nontu: “Please!” I heard people saying please on the
background.
Me: “Okay! I'm coming!” I shouted. I hung up.
I hopped in a shower quickly. Today I'm wearing a dark
bottle green tuxedo dress with black heels and
black Burberry. My weave is on point Mtaka mah. If I'm
meeting those bitches I have To be beautiful because
they wear so nicely just to have lunch nje. I took my

down.
Voice: “Sorry ma'am” when I lifted my head it was
some guy.
Me: “Yes”
Him: “Can I sit if you don't mind”
Me: “Okay2
He is looking good and smell nice.
Him: “Why a beautiful lady like you sitting alone?” he
took my hand.
I yanked my hand from his.
Him: “Okay I'm sorry for that. I'm Lindelani and you”
Me: “Nompe”
Him: “Mhm okay. Waiting for hubby?” he pointed my
wedding ring.
Me: “No I wish. I'm waiting for my friends”
Him: “I'm also waiting for my friends”
Him: “What do you mean when you say you wish?”-he
has a soft voice.
Me: “My husband passed away and I don't want to talk
about it” I fixed my ring.
Him: “Okay. Any kids?”
Me: “I'm a mother of 6”
He choked on his saliva.
Me: “What? To many kids?”
Him: “No I'm sorry. I thought you'll say two”-he drank
water”
Him: “Can I have your numbers so that we can do lunch
933 | P a g e
sometimes when you are free” I laughed.
Me: “Now you are pushing it young man” calmly.
I saw my sister and Nokwe.
Me: “My friends are here now”
Him: “Okay let me go and wait for my friends there” he
pointed a table.
Him: “See you around okay?” he says getting up.
They came and sat.
Nokwe: “Mhhm he is yummy!”
Nontu: “Say that again oe”
Me: “Aren't you married?”
Nokwe: “We are but we can complement God’s good
creation” Nokwe.
Me: “I wash my hands”
Thabi and Rachel arrived. Rachel and I are not on good
terms so I don't talk to her unless it necessary.
I don't do hugs to them like old times.
The three wives came after. Nomxo and Zee came after
them.
Nomxo: “Thanks to you all for coming”
Silence
Nomxo: “Ladies it broke my heart when we separated
okay I mean when you separated yourselves
from Nompe. She was heartbroken and all she wanted
was her loving friends. Zee and I have been
there for her helping where we could”
Thabi: “We're sorry friend and we are willing to do
anything to amend our relationship between us”
934 | P a g e
Me: “Anything?......”-I saw lady like I know her I even
turned to look at her.
Silence.
My phone rings...
Kat: “Aren't supposed to be with Nomxo and other
ladies”
Me: “I'm with them Ta”
Kat: “Look there is...I have to go” he hung up.
Me: “Okay bitches! I’m hungry” Nontu called the
waiter. We had a nice lunch. I missed them a lot. I
missed the old times when we were used to do this
almost every day.
After we went to our separated ways. I went to fetch
my crew from school after we drove home. We
found Kat and Andile in the house eating. The kids
were happy to see them. I think this is not a social
visit.
Me: “Kids go and change the school uniform”
They went to their rooms. I made sandwiches and juice
for them. Sihle loves coffee. I shouted at him
but now I don't. I told him that kids don't drink coffee
but he continued with it so I didn't talk any
further.
Andile: “You have puppies now?” I laughed.
Me: “Eish. I don't love them but Lethu and Nkanyezi
wanted them”
Andile: “Being a parent is tough yhooo”
Me: “And a rabbit for the princess”
935 | P a g e
Andile: “A rabbit? Nxaa I'm scared of that thing” I
laughed hard.
Me: “Don't say that in front of Elam because she will
throw it on you”
Andile: “Is it around?” he was looking around.
Me: “No there. They stay in the back room” I laughed
When I was done I called them. I put the dishes on the
sink that Kat and Andile were using and we went to the
study.
Andile: “We saw something disturbing today”
Me: “I wash my hands”
Thabi and Rachel arrived. Rachel and I are not on good

Kat “We saw a lady who looks exactly like you. Exactly"
Me: “Yhooo that's really disturbing”
Kat: “I even called you to check if it’s not you”
Me: “Oh the time you called me?”
Him: "Yeah I wanted to see if you or not"
Me: “Yazi Machete called me this morning asking
where am I?”
I took my phone and dailled his number.
938 | P a g e
Me: “Machete why did you call me this morning?"-I say
as he answer to the call.
Machete: “Queen I saw someone looking exactly like
you that why I called you”
Me: “Okay I need to see her”
Machete: “You'll see her” After I hung up.
Me: “I need to see her photo or something”
Andile: “You will”
My phone ring again.
Spikes: “Queen where are you?”
Me: “I'm at home with Ta Kat and Ta Andile. Why are
you asking?”
Spikes: “I thought it you I just saw in Zee's restaurant
now”
Me: “Please take the picture of her if possible”
Spikes: “Okay. I will” he hung up.
Me: “Another call Spikes asking my whereabouts
beause he saw some Lady look exactly like me”
Andile: “If you were at win I would say it's your twin
sister Manje you not”
Me: “Eish. Let's hope she is not a gangster because I
will die for her sins”
They laughed.
Me: “Serious”
I took my phone and call my mom.
Me: “Mom how are you?”
Mom: “I'm good and you?”
Me: “I'm good. There's something disturbing me here. I
939 | P a g e
keep on receiving calls asking where I am
because they see this other lady who looks exactly like
me”
She kept quiet for every long time.
Me: “Mom are you there?”
Mom: “Yes I'm here. These things happen Nana. I have
to go” she hung up.
Andile: “What did she say?”
Me: “She said these things happens”
My phone beeped it an MMS I opened right away.......
Me: “Wooooah!.” after looking at the picture Spikes
just sent now.
Andile took my phone.
Kat: “You see?We were shocked too just like you”
Me: “Can please look like this when they are not
related?”
Kat: “I don't know”
Me: “Haa Ta. You are the doctor here”
Kat: “I don't know” he shrugged his shoulders.
I need to know who this lady is. I can't have someone
who looks exactly like me what if she commits
a crime then I'll pay for her sins that I don't know.
Anyway I ordered the equipment I need to pull this
upcoming heist. In the next few days it will be
delivered in the warehouse.
I cooked dinner with Juju and Nosihe helping me.
Me: “Kids! Come here”
They came to the kitchen.
940 | P a g e
Me: “Before the food gets ready. There is a song I want
you all to know”
Juju: “Bachoma kakhulu ngemali ncane...”
Sma came with a beat of the song
Sihle: “I'm back in the game bathi isecond half Mlazi
Milano!”
Me: “Ntwana yam ntwana yam”
Juju: “Let me connect my phone to aux so that we can
all listen to song” he went to the lounge. I
lowered the heat in the stove.
Sihle: “Play it”
Juju ran back to us. Juju Sma and Sihle who know this
dance. The song started and we danced after
they clapped hands for us.
Sihe: “Haah we all have to know it?”
Me: “Yes baby girl you have to know it”
Lethu: “Yhoo I don't how to dance mom”
Me: “You have to try my boy. We will watch the video
where we were doing this dance okay?” Lethu can do
anything it just that he is so shy I don't know why or it
is because he is a pair of other two people I don't
know.
Nka: “Mom dad knew how to dance?”
Me: “Yes my boy too much. Your father was the best
dancer”
I wish he was here with us to see his kids growing up
and the princess he wanted. I still don't know
who killed my husband I investigated but I didn't find
941 | P a g e
anything. Spikes helped along with others but
we didn't find anything.
We ate after I put the dishes in the dishwasher. I went
to the study to take the disk I back and u found
them sitting in the lounge waiting. I gave Juju the disc
then he did the thing and hit play.
Lethu: “Wow!”
Elam: “I could dance like that too”
Juju: “Yhooo!” when his father starts to dance in the
video.
Sma: “Haa mchana!” they did they handshake thing the
yoke to do.
Elam: “Mom why I don't have those tracksuits?”
Nka: “Shut up!”
We watched all the video.
Me: “So what are you saying?”
Nka: “Let do this”
Sihle: “Yes bafo! Sihe you will join us right?”
Sihe: “I fit okay with you guys” shly.
Sma: “We want you in”
Sihe: “Okay”
Juju: “Let's do this!”
Us: “Yeah!”
We went to sleep.
My phone rings.
Me: “Yes”
Spikes: “She is married to Bra KG”
Me: “What? Where? When?” I sat up straight.
942 | P a g e
Spikes: “Overseas. They met there as far as I know”
Me: “Eish thanks mjita”
In the morning I did my morning rituals after I went to
do make breakfast and fed my crew after I took
them to school to school.
Me: “Sihe baby. Today I'm taking you to the doctor”
Sihe: “Thanks mom”
Sihle: “We all want to go”
Me: “Really?” I looked him in the mirror as I'm driving.
Them: “Yes”
Me: “Okay...”
Lethu: “Mom you said we must take care of her. Sma
told me that I'm going be an Uncle soon”
Me: “Yes I did my boy. You going to be Uncle Lethu”
Lethu: “I have to visit Mntungwa every weekend now”
Me: “Why?”
Lethu: “Mntungwa gives me R100 when I polish his
shoes. I will need the money now a best uncle buys
his nephew sweets”
Me: “Ncooah my boy. You gave a good and big heart”
Juju: “Bafo where is your money?”
Lethu: “Haaah. Mkhulu is my bank”
Nka: “Mkhulu is eating your money”
Lethu: “He won’t eat my money because there is a
book where we record my earnings is on grandma”
Juju laughed.
Sma: “Are you serious?”
Lethu: “Yeah I'm serious”
943 | P a g e
I dropped the old ones first and lastly the young ones. I
went to the warehouse today the equipment
is arriving so I must be there. I found Kat Spiro
Lwandile and Zamo eating usu. I greeted them.
Me: “Lwandile there is funny story Lethu told us this
morning”
Lwandile: “Yeah”
Me: “Is true that he polishes Mntungwa's shoes and
get R100 for it?” Kat laughed.
Kat: “I know that story”
Me: “Okay...”
Kat: “Taima was going to the meeting in Saturday
morning so he found Lethu and me is sitting
watching cartoons so he asked Lethu to Polish his
shoes so Lethu asked what he will get in return
Mntungwa said R50. He agreed to R50. Mntungwa
went to take his shoe and gave it to Lethu. After
he was done taima gave him R50 note. He cut a deal
with him if he polishes his shoes he will get R100
then he must keep it. Lethu will take it when it has
babies arrive” He laughed.
I shook my head.
Lwandile: “Taima came up with an idea of recordings
down his earns and the book will stay to mom”
Spiro: “That's clever yazi”
Zamo: “Too much”
Kat: “He said to me I must not tell you. What happened
that made him to tell you?”
944 | P a g e
Me: “Today Sihe has appointment with gynaecologist.
They are all going so he said he must visit
Mntungwa every weekend now because Sma told him
that he will be an Uncle soon. He wants to buy
the sweet for his nephew when he comes”
The guys laughed.
Lwandile: “He is so clever that now”
Me: “I'm glad he teaches himself his to save money at
this stage”
Kat: “All I know is he has R1000 or more”
Me: “What?”
Kat: “He doesn’t wait for Mntungwa. He takes the
shoes polish them and wait for him to get paid”
Me: “Hayi ke angisazi ke” I clapped once.
The guys in the gate called to say the truck is here. I
told them to sign for it. The off loaded the
equipment and everything is here. I set everything with
the technician in our truck. Everything is ready
so we can do anything now.
I went to fetch the kids then we went to the doctor.
She is four weeks and three days pregnant. We
went home after. When I parked the car I heard noise
but I thought it next door but still noise here
is not allowed. When we approached the noise is
inside...
Me: “All of you go to the car now!” I shouted at them.
They ran to the car and got in. I took my two guns out
put my bag on the steps. I got in slowly I went
945 | P a g e
to the lounge there was no one. Checked all the rooms
downstairs and upstairs there was no one. I
went to switch off the music and tv which it was
playing so loud. I think Mam'S isn't here too. I found
the red bandana in the coffee table written “QUEEN
STAY IN YOUR LANE” Red bandana belongs to
Destroyers. I didn't step on anyone's toes.
Spiro came in.
Spiro: “I got the call from Juju saying there was a break
in here”
Me: “They didn't take anything but I found this” I gave
him the bandana.
“QUEEN STAY IN YOUR LANE” This bandana belongs to
the Destroyers-He reads out loud.
Me: “This is a warning of something I don't know”
Me: “Please take the kids to Umhlanga at Ta Kat's I'll
pack their clothes now” I went to pack their
clothes. I can't let them sleep here. I took their bags
and packed it in the crew bus and Spiro to them
to Umhlanga.
I called the other members to meet in the warehouse
ASAP. In an hour they were there.
Me: “Thanks for coming in the short notice. I have a
problem here I found the red bandana in my
house. It a warning and I don't have a clue. Anyone
who care to explain?” I'm pacing up and down.
Mbuso: “We robbed the Absa” in a low tone
Me: “You did what? When did this happen? Who gave
946 | P a g e
you that order?” my blood is boiling.
Spiro: “How much did you get?”
Mbuso: “R20 million”
Gang: “Yhooo!”
My phone rings. I answered it and put it on
loudspeaker.
Voice: “Queen I hope you got the warning. You know
the rules. I need my money tomorrow night”
Me: “You won't get it”
Voice: “Queen I respect you so much. Don't force me
to do bad things to you. Your precious diabetic
Lethu his diabetes can be high in a minute and it can
lead to death. How about that cute girl carrying
your first grandchild could sleep and loss the baby in
her sleep so please make a wise decision.
Tomorrow night I want my money”2 he hung up after.
Me: “Where is the money Lwandile?”
Lwandile: “It's here in the background”
Me: “Tomorrow night we are taking the money back to
the Destroyers” calmly.
Spiro: “20million Queen? Are you sure?”
Me: “Yeah I'm sure. Tomorrow night we are taking
back the money”
Lwandile: “But…”
Me: “Lwandile! Remember guys Destroyers buy
cocaine to us because our stuff is the best even
Scavengers buy to usso I'm going to get that money
back. Destroyers are back in the game their zeroes
947 | P a g e
are still in not good condition because of their boss so
relax!”
Spiro: “Okay. Tomorrow night it is then”
Me: “I'll sent you the time and place but we'll come
here first”
Me: “Okay. Thanks guys” they left. I was left with Spiro
and Spikes. I called Kutlwano back.
Kultwano: “It Queen here. Tomorrow night you'll get
the money back. R20 million in cash. Send me
the location” I hung up.
You see in gangsterism you don't have to be friends to
work together. We are enemies but when
money or business is involved you put that beef a side
then work.
I went back to my house took a bath then went to
dream land. In the morning it was quiet around the
house. I'm all alone in this gigantic house. Mam'S went
with the kids so I'm alone. I ate weetbex for
breakfast. I'm eating crew isn't around so there's no
need. All my day was quiet I cooked when they
get home eat my food. I don't like it when Lethu is
eating junk food but being there with Nomxo's
sweetness on Lethu make things worse. She has a soft
spot for him.
My Lethu has been in and out of hospital especially
when he was young at least now I call his doctor
if he is not okay. Machete brought them home after
school they were happy so see me while Sihe
948 | P a g e
seemed so angry.
Me: “What did you do to her?”
Juju: “I teased her about being fat during lunch time at
school even now she isn't talking to me” I hit
him at the back of his head.
Juju: “Ouch!”
Me: “Don't ever say that again. Woman don't like it
when someone say they are getting fat”
Juju: “I didn't know but I won't say it again”
Me: “When I was pregnant with Sihle your father said
I'm getting fat I cried all day” I shook my head.
That pregnancy was something else.
Juju: “No wonder you gave birth to a crazy child” he
was laughing.
Me: “Yeyii wena watch it. When I was pregnant with
you I stole you father's Cologne and I used to
dress smart just to go and buy my goodies”
He laughed out loud his siblings came in and asked him
why he is laughing...
Juju: “Okay.... Mom told me what she was doing when
he was pregnant with me...She stole my father’s
Cologne....Dressed smart just to go to the Garage to
buy...Goodies” he started to laugh again and his
siblings joined in.
Sma: “Mom”
Me: “Yes my boy”
Sma: “I would like to know my mother if you don't
mind” he looked down.
949 | P a g e
The room went quiet.
Me: “Can we talk in private my boy?”
Sma: “There's nothing to hide mom you can say
anything in front of them”
I took a deep breath.
Me: “Do you that I love you all with all my heart. I will
do anything I say anything to keep you safe and
unharmed. If someone comes to you and hurt you guys
all here I will avenge for you. As you heard
the fight between Mthoko and I and Juju I know you
heard the whole story. Sma came here when he
was 2 years old. I vowed to love him like my own and
he is my son blood or not. If anyone of you treats
Sma in a bad way or stinky attitude I'll chop his or her
fingers and fry them. Am in clear?” I was looking
at me
Them: “Clear”
Me: “Ever since you father passed away I want to keep
our family united and strong. I work hard to
take care of you and make sure that you have
everything you need so I don't want anyone in any of
you here to break the bond we have here”
Sma: “That's true mom” I shook my head yes.
Sihle: “So Mom what are you doing for a living because
I heard kids at school saying bad things about
you” I smiled.
Me: “My boy mommy is a businesswoman. I own a club
shares in Mbulazi Attorneys shares in Uncle
950 | P a g e
Spike's logistic company and other business your father
owned are mine”
Juju and Sma smiled. They know who I am. Sihe is
awful quiet.
Me: “Sihe why are you this quiet? Are you okay?”
Sihe: “I'm okay mom. It just that...” she looked down.
Me: “What's wrong baby?”
Me: “Miss Sangweni at school insulted in the Physics
class for being pregnant at this age” she looked
down.
Juju: “She did what? Why you didn't tell this?” Juju
with a high voice.
Me: “Juju calm down. I will handle this okay?” calmly.
Juju: “That bitch! She wanted me and I told her that I
have my girlfriend and she is pregnant with my
child now she uses that to hurt Sihe! She will know me
tomorrow” He is really Samkelo's son.
Me: “Juju I don't want you to be rude towards your
teachers. I will fix this tomorrow”
Juju: “Please do mom because if you don't I will. I don't
want Sihle to be stressed”
Sihle: “Give her one hell of a slap bafo”
Me: “Sihlelelwe!”
Sihle: “Mom! She hurt Sihe I don't want my nephew or
niece get stress”
Me: “You sound just like your father now” I closed my
eyes. I need to fix tomorrow.
They ate they food and done they homework after I
951 | P a g e
cooked supper while Elam was modelling for me.
It was a cute scene to look at. Inter com rang. Elam and
Nkanyezi ran to it.
Elam: “I will I open for you sweetheart!”
After few minutes Thando came in.
Thando: “The rare and precious stone on earth!”
Elam: “Your black diamond!” she fixed her dress. She
hugged her aunty. Have you ever heard of genes?
Elam is the younger version of Thando. Even Elam's
toes and hands are Thando's. Elam go this fathers
voice while the other two looks exactly like their
father.
Sihle: “Hey Aunty” Sma went to hug her too.
Me: “Hey Aunty”
Thando: “Hey how are you?”
Me: “I'm good and you?”
Thando: “I'm good”
Elam: “What you got for me?”
Thando: “Nothing sweetheart but we going to eat
dinner out. All of you” Elam jump up and down in
joy. She loves her Aunt to death because she is the only
person who is not jealous of her “beauty”. Me
and others are jealous of her. I thought Sihle was too
much when he was a young but no this one is
way too much. Drama Queen!
I went with Nka and Lethu to their room to dress them
for their dinner out. Elam was with her Aunt
she helps will dress her up.
952 | P a g e
Me: “Nka and Lethu I told you that I don't want your
puppies in your room. Take them to the back
room” Sihle entered the room.
Me: “Sihle please take these puppies to the back
room”
Sihle: “Why don't they go and put them in the back
room?”
Me: “I said please”
He sulked but took them anyway. I fix my boys and
then after we me to thers looking cute and
handsome. Sihe is going with them. At least Thando
likes her. They were happy to go so I let them be.
I went back to the kitchen to dish for myself and went
to work on my plan to be perfect and to be sure case
thing.

Chapter 49
Insert 51
Today is the big day. Tonight our hiest is going down.
The Gents are making me nervous and I know
they don't trust me that I could pull this off. I took the
kids to school as usual after I went to the
warehouse to check if everything is okay. I found the
big dogs eating.
Craig: “Queen ka Axe” He pulled the chair for me.
Me: “Ahh ama Grootman”
TK: “The strong woman I know”
953 | P a g e
Spikes: “Eish mfethu. She is the Queen”
Me: “I am the Queen I fix my crown with an Axe that
my husband left for me” I smiled.
The clapped their hands for me. Ta Kat laughing.
TK: “Is everything under control?”
Me: “Everything is going as planned”
Kat: “Good”
I was offered a juice I chilled with them after I went to
fetch kids who are always bubble. Elam loves
her rabbit which she named munchie. I don't know the
meaning but we call it like that. Nka and Lethu
named their puppies Bob and Bobby. When we arrived
at home I made sandwiches.
Machete is coming here with Senzo to guard my kids.
Sihe is getting fat really but she is beautiful with
killer body no wonder Juju didn't wait he broke her
virginity too early. I hope and pray Juju not to
break Sihe's heart.
I went to my bedroom took my dress off and wore
Samkelo's Versace shirt. I miss my husband every
day of my life. I've never loved someone like him in my
life. I miss our moments we created together.
His voice was music to my ears I loved him dearly and
whole heartedly but God has different plans
for us.
Lethu: “Mom why are you crying?” his voice trembling
brought me back into reality.
I wiped my tears quickly and I smiled at him.
954 | P a g e
Me: “I'm not crying baby” I cupped his face to my
hands.
Lethu: “Is there something troubling you mommy?” his
voice is breaking. He broke down. I took him
to my chest and hush him.
Me: “Don't cry my boy. Nothing is troubling your
mommy. Mom miss your father so badly but don't
worry yourself about it okay?” he nodded.
Lethu: “You loved my father?” I smiled at him.
Me: “I loved your father so much. He was my
everything. He made me smile laugh happy. He also
loved you guys with everything he had”
Lethu: “Why he left us?”
Me: “He passed away my boy. He is an angel who looks
after and guide us”
He nodded.
I got up with him we went to the kitchen for him to
drink water so that he can be calm. When I got
down the stairs my kids we are looking at us. They left
what they were doing they came to the kitchen.
Sihle: “Mom are you okay?”
I saw sadness in their eyes.
Me: “I'm okay baby” I flashed a smile.
Juju: “You not okay mom. You don't just wear dad's
clothes just nje”
I smiled. My kids know me too well.
Lethu: “She misses dad”
Juju gave me a confused look.
955 | P a g e
Lethu: “I went to her bedroom I found her crying and
she told me why she is crying”
Sma: “Mom”
Me: “I was forced to because he just cried” I know I
wasn't supposed to tell him the whole truth but
I didn't have a choice.
Sma: “We all miss him mom”
Juju: “Yeah we all do”
Sihle: “Haaah Axe madoda”
I was shocked to the core. My jaw dropped.
"Where did you got that name?"-I say out of shock.
They all laughed at me like I'm crazy or something.
Sihle: “Really mom? My father was a well-known
gangster and his underground name was Axe. He
was feared because he was a cold blood killer and he
was ruthless”
Juju: “Haah. Young computer geek!”
Me: “Sihle I told you do not google useless things with
your PC only schoolwork but you choose not
to listen to me”
Sma: “He is learning how to hack this one”
Sihle: “Sma!” he shouted.
Juju: “And his codes are cool”
Me: “Sihlelelwe Amukelwa Khumalo!” I screamed.
Sihle: “Mom I love coding and I will pursue my career in
IT like it or not”
Me: “Why did you have to stubborn like your father?”
Sihle: “Because I am my father's son” he winked.
956 | P a g e
Huh?
Me: “I don't know what to do anymore” defeat.
Sma: “He's good mom he is the one who unlock the
network in our phones when you lock them”
They eyes were popped out...
Sma: “Shit...”
Me: “Sihlelelwe Khumalo!” I shouted.
Juju: “Mom please calm”
Me: “Don't tell me to calm down”
Me: “Sihle you're grounded all your gadgets in my
bedroom now!”
Sihle: “But mom...”
Me: “Don't back chat me I'll slap the shit out of you
now” my voice filled the room and they all kept
quiet.
Lethu drank water and he calmed down. I took him
with me to the lounge. I sat with him in the couch.
Lethu: “Love birds” he whispered in my ear as we sat
down. Juju and Sihe we are sitting in one couch.
I tried not to laugh.
Sma Nka and Elam entered.
Lethu: “Just look at them” he whispered again. I
couldn't hold it anymore I just bursted out laughing
and he joined after me. Sihle entered.
Sma: “Please share the joke guys”
Lethu buried his face in my chest.
Me: “I wonder when you all grew up. Lethu called Juju
and Sihe love birds and I tried to hold a laugh
957 | P a g e
and he said “just look at them” he said with some
funny voice with some expression” I laughed again.
They all laughed and Sihe blushed.
Juju: “When you talk about love birds you remind me
of mom and dad”
I gave him a look.
Juju: “I was young mom but we saw how he was
around you”
Nkanyezi (Nka) came to sit on top of me like his
brother and Elam was sitting with Sihe while her head
is in Sihe's lap and she was brushing her head.
Sma: “That's true bafo. Dad loved mom”
Nka: “He loved her like Juju loves Sihe?” I just smiled
wondering when my three rascals have grown
when they talk like this.
Sihle: “Yes ntwana” Okay I thought I grounded that
one.
Me: “Sihle on a serious note I don't want you to be in
this field knowing how you and you’ll are be in
deep shit soon” out of concern.
Sihle: “Mom I love it one day I would like to be
software developer or something please don't cut me
off”
I exhaled loudly.
Me: “I don't know what to say anymore I just don't
know” I raised my hands up in defeat.
After we ate and they went to sleep I went to my room
wore my clothes and put my late husband coat
958 | P a g e
on top. I called our boys to come and guard my
children I don't want any mistake tonight I need to
focus even though this thing of Sihle worries me and
him to be stubborn like his father worsen things.
Sometimes I wish he could be here to deal with boys
but he isn't here so I must be tough and woman
up.
After the security was here I took my bikes and rod to
the warehouse I found my team there and Ta
Kat. Sometimes she makes me nervous I wonder how
they do this but I think they got it from their
father. Fuck that old man is different I don't know how
but he is.
Kat: “I think you ready”
I exhaled loudly.
Me: “I'm ready for this. Let's do it guys” They clapped
for me. My team and I got in the truck and other
in the cars. We drove to the location where this heist
should happen. I set my ear to mouth
microphone.
Me: “Spiro can you hear me?
Spiro: “Yes Queen I can hear you”
Me: “Good”
I check the others and we were all communicating
well.
At 02:13am.
Me: “Guys on position. Let's show them what we are
made of”
959 | P a g e
They cheered.
Me: “The truck is 45 minutes away from here so I need
you to be ready and fast and do a clean job
no flops”
Them: “Sure Queen”
When the truck was truck was 10 minutes away I
deactivated all trackers in jewellery and the truck
tracker.
Me: “Guys be ready the trackers all off”
Spikes: “The tracker is still in the town”
Me: “Good”
Me: “The auto drive is activated on all the cars here in
N3 so the truck is about to take the route where our
boys are”
Spiro: “Great!”
At that moment jammed the mobile network in around
this area I hacked into the nearest satellite so
the truck drivers can call the bosses a about what is
about to happen. I then control the truck to our
location. I turned all the cars to the opposite directions
and they couldn't follow the truck.
Me: “Machete do you the truck?”
Silence! My heart almost stopped.
Machete: “Queen......I see the truck now. Boys on
position.........Press stop! It has arrived” he was
shouting.
Me: “Tell me when they are done okay?”
960 | P a g e
Machete: “Give us 10 minutes then we'll be done”
I played with my nails.
Spikes: “The cars are still going to the opposite
directions?”
Me: “Relax I got this”
Spiro: “And the cameras are still on the being “on”
I smiled while I tapped my foot.
Machete: “Queen we are done. Do your things”
Me: “Good”
I turned the truck back I turned all the cars to their
direction and the truck on in the road again as it
was and the drivers were dead inside the truck
remember it was control. I hacked into the cameras I
got access fast I wiped the footage that showed the
cars turning into opposite direction and when the
truck took another route. The boys went to the
warehouse after taking the jewellery after we
followed
them to the warehouse.
Spiro: “Queen the client is outside”
Me: “Good. Please stay alarmed I don't trust this fool
so be prepared for anything”
I don't Wizard he is the one who the client. He's been
our client for so long but don't trust anyone.
Spikes showed him and he came with his bodyguards.
Wizard: “Queen of Axe I must say....” he was disturbed
to see Ta Kat.
Wizard: “I thought we were in good terms Queen”
961 | P a g e
Me: “Yes we are and please let's get down to business”
I saw he was uncomfortable with Ta Kat's
presence.
Wizard: “I would like to see my parcel”
Me: “Wizard you can trust me...Spikes and Spiro” I
indicated with my head for them to come with the
jewellery and they did and his bodyguards checked
everything and the other one whispered to him
something and the other put the two black big bags on
top of the table.
Machete opened the bags and gave one roll to Ta Kat
and me.
Kat: “Yeah......” he nodded with a smirk on his face.
Me: “I hope the one is exactly what we agreed on
because if it’s not you know what I'll do to you” I
raised my eyebrow with a smile.
Wizard: “I won't risk my good relationship with the
most feared woman on earth”
Me: “Good”
After we shook hands and his bodyguards took the
jewellery and they went. I exhaled loudly and I
closed my eyes I was disturbed by claps of hands.
Me: “Huh guys really?” in a low voice.
Andile: “I must say that Uyibozza!”
Kat: “When it comes to IT only” added with a big
smile.
We laughed.
Kat: “Haaah I didn't trust these ideas but I took a risk to
962 | P a g e
support it”
Me: “I'm glad it was successful and I don't care about
the money I'm glad that you supported my idea
and it costed a lot of money but it was a success for the
first I created that code and I'm proud of
myself”
They clapped.
Spieks: “Hayi ngiyakuvuma!” he raised his hands.
Machete: “You all must hail to the Queen” as he hailed.
We laughed at him and they all did.
Andile: “This calls for celebration!” He took his phone
and made few calls. Minutes layers the food
meat and drinks came flooding.
The boys went to count the money and Spiro took me
home after the celebration I left my bike in the
warehouse. When I was inside the house I heard a car
driving and it was Spiro. I went to heck on my
rascals I found Juju on Sihe's room sleeping so peaceful
and it was innocent I left them be. I went to
check on the others and they were okay. I went to take
a shower after I went to my walk-in closet took
my late husband T-shirt and wore it and I went to bed.
I felt proud of myself....
Thabi: “Lunch at our favourite restaurant and it's on
me”
Me: “Eish okay!Okay” I’m little bit annoyed.
Thabi: “Okay at 13:00pm”
After I dropped the call annoyed to the core. I want to
963 | P a g e
sleep I'm tired.
I went to take a cold shower. Today I'm wearing my
husband's Luois Vitton shirt and black ripped jean
and I tucked the shirt in front and left it overlapping
behind and I put my cream Jim Choee and my
Chanel bag. Today I chose my black Maseratti and I
drove to the restaurant. I went inside and sat on
the table because she sent me all the details as usual.
After few minutes waiting for Thabi I saw the guy
approaching but I thought he is going to sit to the
next table to mine as I'm waiting for my friend. Nxaa
where is she kanti? I took my phone out in the
bag....
“Sorry” he pulled a chair and sat down.
And then? He sits comfortably....What the fuck?
Me: “If you don't mind I'm waiting for my friend so the
seat is reserved” calmly but I'm pissed.
Him: “I'm also meeting my friend here”
Me: “What? Go and find the other table then” I
snapped.
He raised his eyebrows on me!!!!!!!!
Him: “Your table numbers?”
Me: “Table number 10” I’m annoyed.
Him: “Me too....Wait...”he put his hand on his face
looking shy...
Him: “Blind date? Oh God!” with a sigh.
No Thabi can't....No she can't....No..No....
I closed my eyes and looked up. I felt angry and my
964 | P a g e
facial expression changed and I clenched on my
jaws.
Him: “Woooah! Please calm down I also didn't know
like you...”
I tried to get up and he held my hand.
Me: “Don't touch me!” I said with calm but
aggressively.
Him: “Sorry...Can we eat lunch at least because we are
here already and I'm hungry”
I kept quiet for some time thinking about lot of things.
First I'm wearing my late husband's shirt and
I'm on a stupid blind date wearing his shirt....I felt tears
in my eyes...
Him: “Are you okay?”
Me: “Yeah…” I said faintly...
The waitress came to take our order and I was even
hungry all I wanted is to beat Thabi for her stupid
plan. I ordered the chicken salad and orange juice.
Him: “I'm Mlondi Masilela”
Me: “I'm Nompe Khumalo” without a smile in my face.
Him: “I'm a chartered accountant by profession” warm
smile.
Me: “I'm an IT specialist by profession” I faked a little
bit of smile.
Our food came and we started to eat and I can say he
was hungry because he eats his food and I'm
tossing this salad in front of me....
Him: “Any kids?”
965 | P a g e
Me: “I'm a mother of 7” with smile.
He choked on his food.
Me: “You didn't expect me to have so many kids
right?” with a frown.
He drank his juice.
Him: “No I didn't expect that I thought you'll say
maybe” he looked a bit unsettled.
Me: “Mhhm” I was pissed as hell.
He cleared his throat and his eyes popped out.
Him: “Who is the lucky guy?” he looked at my hands.
I felt tears in my eyes...I looked up....
Me: “My late husband....” I said with firm tone trying to
be strong.
Him: “I'm sorry for your loss” he brushed my hand. I
yanked my hand from him.
I kept quiet.
Him: “He is the father of your children?”
Me: “Yes he is...”
Him: “Your face looks familiar” he looked into my
eyes.
I chuckled...
Him: “Who you were married to?”
Me: “Why with so many questions dude?” I ate my
salad.
Him “Answer me please” with a firm tone......
Okay...
Me: “Samkelo Khumalo”
Him: “Samkelo Khumalo who was owned Mbulazi
966 | P a g e
Attorneys?”
His eyes popped out...
Him: “I think that's my cue to leave” he got up quickly.
Me: “Okay...” I looked at him.
He took his car keys and phone and he left rushing
out.
I drank my juice took my bag and went to my car.
When I was inside I took of my heels and I drove to
Thabi's house. I pressed the bell after the gate opened I
took of my heels and I drove to
Thabi's house. I pressed the bell after the gate opened I
got in and parked my car. I didn't wear my
shoe I walked barefoot to the main door Nokwe
opened.
Nokwe: “Hey friend” she faked a smile.
Me: “Hey. Is Thabi here?”
She pointed to the lounge. I went there I found the
wives drinking wine.
Me: “Mhhm you are having a nice time neh?”
Thabi: “Friend...”
Nontu looked at me and she looked down.
Me: “Explain Thabi now before I lose my temper” I
gave a stare.
Thabi: “Friend it been to long be single after Samkelo
passed away”
Me: “Don't you fucken are mention my late husband's
name. Do you hear me?” my voice is high now.
Rachel: “Nompe please calm down”
967 | P a g e
Me: “Voetsek!” I shouted and she kept quiet.
Thabi got up and fixed the dresss he is wearing.
Thabi: “Look I was looking up for you as a friend. I
know you lonely and you need someone to comf...”
she didn't finish the sentence. I slapped her so hard
and it cause her to fall. With a blink of an eye I
was on top of her beating shit out of her.
I heard voices but I didn't hear what they were saying I
focused on Thabi. Nontu tried to restrain me
from Thabi I turned with a hard-back slap and it landed
on her face.
Siwe: “Please calm down...”
Me: “You all here laughing and making me a fool...”
TK: “What's with noise in my house!?” we all turned to
look at him.
Rachel went to help Thabi to get up. Andile got
followed by others....
Andile: “And...Then...?” he asked when he state saw
the mess his wife was in.
TK: “Talk!” raised his voice.
Me: “Ask all of this motherfucker they are here trying
to play God in my life” My voice is full of anger.
TK & Andile: “Don't speak to my wife like that”
Me: “Hehehehe!” I clapped once. While I gave them a
disappointment look.
I grabbed my keys and turned to leave....
Me: “Maybe if my husband was still alive he would
defend me unfortunately he's not. I'm wondering
968 | P a g e
how you could defend them when they set up a blind
date for me with other fool. What breaks my
heart is I was wearing my late husband's shirt when I
went to meet that fool. You don't know how I
feel right now but who am to I'm widow to you all” I
didn't notice that I was crying I felt the shirt wet
on my chest.
As I turned to leave...
TK: “Nompe I'm sor…”
Me: “Save it!” I exited I ran to my car got in crying. I
put my head on a steering wheel then I cried.
After some time I heard a knock on my window when I
lifted my head up it was TK. I wiped my face
before then after I rolled down the window.
TK: “Nompe look I'm sorry for not hearing the...”
Me: “Please open the gate for I need to fetch my kids”
tears streamed down my cheeks.
He didn't reply he went in the house and the gate open
I drove out and I made it safely at home.
Luckily Spiro picked them up.
When I got inside they were fine. Black diamond
bubbly as always!
Elam: “Mom please come see the dress I made for my
doll” she pulled my hand.
Me: “Nana can we please do it another time mommy is
not feeling well she needs to sleep” I kissed
her forehead. She frowned and I didn't have energy to
deal with her. Juju gave me a weird look.
969 | P a g e
Me: “Juju Sihe Sma and Sihle please make sure this
rascal is indoors and safe okay? I need to sleep for an
hour or so” I went up the stairs to my room.
I went to take a long shower and I was crying. After
taking a shower I took his shirt and wore it then I
went to my bed got in the covers and I cried. I was
disturbed by a door opening. I wiped my tears
quickly and turned to look who opened the door. It's
my squad.
Lethu: “Mommy are you okay?”
I sniffed.
Me: “I'm good my boy”
They all came in and sat on top of the bed.
Sihle: “Mom we are old now we know when you not
okay. Who is troubling you?” His voice is firm.
I faked a smile.
Me: “I'm okay my boy” I brushed his shoulder.
Nka: “We are sleeping with you today mom”
I faked a smile.
Me: “It's okay. Go and change to your pyjamas and
come join mom me”
Sma: “I'm not coming back”
Juju: “Me too”
Sihle: “Mxm!”
They walked out after some minutes they came back.
We spoke and Iaughed. My children are
everything they put a smile on my face. My bundles of
joy.
970 | P a g e
In the morning I did my morning routines went to wake
up the kids and I bath them. Prepared them
for school and I took them to school. On my way home
after dropping them. I received a call from
Andile. I left it rang and it went to voicemail. They
know that how I feel about dating after my husband
passed away. When I got home I went to the study and
work on some code. If I don't keep my busy I
will go crazy because I'm still angry.
At 13:00pm I received a call again. I took a without
checking the caller Id....
Me: “What is it!?” I snapped.
Voice: “Uhm Mrs Khumalo”
Me: “Yes” calmly.
Voice: “Uhm I'm calling from Glenwood primary school
it’s about Lethukhanya” I stood up quickly.
Me: “What's wrong with him? Is he okay?”
Voice: “Uhmm...”
Me: “Speak!” I snapped.
Voice: “He...He went. to the toilet now I can't find
him...”
Me: “What? At what time?”
Voice: “At 12:30 I think” I took my phone cars keys and
laptop I went to the car got in and I put in on the
passenger seat.
Me: “You trying to tell me that my kid has gone for the
whole 30 minutes a 7-year-old without checking
what he is doing?” I'm shouting now.
971 | P a g e
Voice: “I'm sorry ma'am” she said calmly.
Me: “Nxaa voetsek maarn!” I shout and hung up after
that.
I dialled and put my phone on louder speaker.
Me: “They took him. Whoever doing this I'm going to
paint Durban red with blood I swear”
Kat: “Wooah calm down! They took who?”
Me: “They took Lethu from school now I'm on my way
to Glenwood primary”
Kat: “Eish! Fuck uhm go and you'll meet us at the
warehouse” he said and hung up.
I drove like a minaic. When I got there I found police all
over the school premises. I went straight to
the office. I found Sihle sitting down on the floor not
crying but his eyes red were red shot.
Me: “Where is my kid?” I banged the table.
Mrs Whole: “Mrs Khumalo I would like to sp…”
Me: “Shut the fuck up. You better pray that I find my
son in one piece or else...” my voice is full of
anger.
Mrs Whole: “Is that a thre...?”
Me: “Voetsek!” I inturpted her.
Me: “Where is the other two?” I turned to some bitch.
Her: “This way please” she ushered me.
Me: “Sihle come with me” He didn't respond but he
got up took his school bag and he followed me.
Me: “Hehehe don't tell me that they slept on their own
in those fucken rooms. If I don't find them I
972 | P a g e
swear!” I'm shouting.
We got in the sick room and I saw Elam sleeping in
bed.
Me: “Where is Nkanyezi?” I asked the bitch that I was
following.
Her: “Uhm he was here...”I brushed my head roughly.
Took a gun out and corked it.
Her: “Ahhhhh!!! I left....Him here” she screamed.
Nka: “Mommy!” coming from another room.
Sihle: “Ntwana. Are you okay?” he hugged him tightly.
He nodded. I let out a big sigh. The door opened and
fours teachers and Principal came in running.
Mrs Whole: “What's going on here?”
Me: “Go and tell those fucken useless police to go and
find my child” I say picking up Elam who was
asleep and held Nka's hand and we exited the room.
We went to the car. I put in the back. Elam woke up
when we were in the car.
Elam: “Is he not back?” That question broke my heart.
Me: “Mom will find him okay”
She nodded. I started the car and drove out of the
school.
Nka: “What if he is hungry mom?” I took a deep
breath.
Me: “Let's hope is full wherever he is. Mommy is gonna
find Lethu and bring him home okay?” tears
were streaming down the cheeks. Lethu must not be
too hungry he shakes.
973 | P a g e
What worries me is that Sihle is more like of his father.
I thought he will cry when he heard that his
little brother is kidnapped.
My phone rang.
Sakhi: “Where are you?”
Me: “I'm on my way to fetch others than I'll take them
to Umhlanga”
Sakhi: “You'll find me waiting in the gate. I'll take them
to Umhlanga”
Me: “Okay” I hung up.
I drove there and I found him waiting as he said. Elam
and Nka ran to him went down to their level
he hugged them both and they broke down. After
some time they calmed down. Sihle didn't say a
word he us awful quiet.
Sihle: “Are you okay baby?” He gave a blank stare and
he didn't say anything.
Sma: “Mom did you find him?” when he saw me.
Me: “I was waiting for you all. You'll go to Umhlanga I'll
come personal to fetch you when I found him
okay?”
Silence.
Sihe broke down. I tried to calm her but it didn't help
and her man managed to calm her down. After
we all went to Sakhi's crew bus and they all got in.
Me: “I will send Machete to come and bring your
clothes with Mam'S okay?”
Juju: “Okay”
974 | P a g e
Silence.
Sihle: “Mom I don't want you to be mom right. I want
you to be Axe's wife Queen ka Axe and go find
our brother. Don't come back when you don't have him
in your arms” with straight face Sakhi gave
me a “what the fuck look”
Me: “Listen here babies. I will protect all of you with
everything I have. I will bring Lethu home alive
even if it’s the last thing I will okay” Sakhi was looking
at me.
Me: “A group fist bump?”
We made our group fist bump after I left for the
warehouse.
I took my phone and traced Lethu's tracker...
Me: “It's on N2 but south. It has passed Port
Shepstone”
Spiro: “Who do you think it is?”
Spikes: “Let me make few calls”
Ta Kat and the others were busy on makings calls.
Me: “Call Bra KG now and out him on loudspeaker”
KG: “Hello”
Me: “Do you want war?”
KG: “What?”
Me: “Bra KG let me hope you not the one who took my
son because if it’s like that make sure you hide
your family underground where I will not reach them”
calmly.
KG: “Queen I thought you know me by now. That's not
975 | P a g e
my style and it for ametuers and I wouldn't do
that because it will cause war between the gangs”
Me: “Okay. Sure...” I signalled to Spiro to cut the call.
Spikes: “Queen forward the GPS coordinates to me
now”
A notification alert beep in my laptop I investigated it.
Me: “Fuck!!” I banged a table so hard.
Kat: “What is it?”
Me: “I'm going on a kill spree and no one will stop me!”
I roared.
It shifted a laptop to him it was pictures of Lethu
sleeping in the floor. Minutes after another
notification. I opened it...
It a video now of my child crying. I'm sure he is scared
and alone. He isn't supposed to cry and ni know
for sure that he is hungry. One tear escaped my eye...
Me: “Let's go!” I shouted.
We went to cars and drove out. Spiro was a maniac
and when we arrived where he was we found our
members scouting the place and others were planning
how get inside that house Lethu was in.
As we were standing there we heard gun shots coming
inside the house. All took our guns out and
we jumped the fence to get inside the yard. As we
were approaching we heard screams. Spiro kicked
the door and we saw ahead flying out. Suddenly all
lights went off. We took phones Spiro found a
light and he switched it on.
976 | P a g e
There were lifeless bodies lying around. I went to the
other rooms and I found Lethu sleeping in the
bed so peaceful. There was a throw on top of him. I
quickly went to him and kissed his forehead. In
the table I found used syringe and little bottle of insulin
that Lethu uses. I was so shocked but I picked
up my Lethu.
When I found the guys looking at the lifeless bodies. I
gave Lethu to Machete to take his to the car.
Spikes: “If Axe was alive I would say he was here but he
isn't...”
Spiro: “This is his style”
Silence.
Kat: “There is a fucken useless dog out there who is
trying to fake Axe” he entered in a room.
Me: “Spiro burnt his house” I walked out.
I went to the car my baby was still sleeping. Spikes
drove to the hospital just for control because Ta
Kat gave a medical attention. In the hospital the doctor
check him and he said everything is under control and
he won't be admitted. Later we drove back to Durban.
We drove Umhlanga to. Spikes parked the car I got out
and took Lethu to my arm and we went to inside the
house others were following us.
When I entered in the lounge they were watching tv
Nka turned first to look at my direction. He jumped and
screamed.
Nka: “Lethu! Lethu is back!” they all turned to look at
977 | P a g e
us. They stood up and came to us...
Elam: “Lethu! Lethu!” she screamed.
Lethu moved and rubbed his eyes. Elam cried that
shocked me because all I know his; they are cat
and mouse. I went to sit down while he was in my
arms. She came to sit next to him.
Elam: “I've missed you Lethu. Don't you ever disappear
like that okay?” she was brushing her brother's back.
Lethu was quiet and he started to cry. I tried to calm
him down but he cried hard. Juju and his grandmother
came with medication.
Me: “I think he needs to eat first”
MaNdlovu: “Okay”
Sihe came with bowl and gave it to me.
Me: “Thanks my baby”
Lethu is calm now. I started to feed him.
Nka: “I'm hungry too mommy”
Elam: “Me three”
I just smiled.
Lethu: “Haha it’s my food”
Nka: “We'll share”
Elam: “Yeah we'll share just the three of us”
I laughed and feed them in one bowl.
My phone rang. I picked it up.
Me: “Yeah”
Machete: “Queen I found out who took the Lethu”
Me: “Uhm.Let me call you after half an hour”
Machete: “Okay. Sure” he hung up after.
978 | P a g e
MaNdlovu injected Lethu and he dozed off
immediately.
Mntungwa came in.
Mntungwa: “Makoti” he said as he sits in his couch.
Me: “Yebo baba ninjani?”
Mntungwa: “I'm good. Can you please pass my
grandson to me?”
He I got up Juju came to me fast and took Lethu on
arm. I gave him a questioning look.
Juju: “Look at what you are wearing” he whispered to
my ear. I closed my eyes emmidetialy and I
felt ashamed. I sat shyly.
Me: “I'm so sorry to disrespect your house Mntungwa”
Mntungwa: “It okay mntanam it's understandable”
Juju rushed out.
Me: “I think we should get going”
Mntungwa: “Okay Makoti I will come and see them on
this weekend”
Sihe cried out loud! Come towards the living room we
in. After she got in. Juju came with a snake on his
hand.
Me: “Hayi Juju maarn Sihe is pregnant!” I shouted at
him. He smiled.
Sihle: “Haaa bafo”
Sihe isn't used in this Juju's strange connection with
snakes. He left witht he snakes. Sihle went to get
water for Sihe.
Me: “Kids it's time to go”
979 | P a g e
They went to get their backs. We went to the car.
Kat: “Nompe we need to talk” he walked towards the
car.
Me: “I need to take them home after we'll meet” I
signaling him with my eyes.
Kat: “Okay. After an hour then”
Mam'S came with her bag and tin cake.
Me: “Mam'S I'm sorry for not telling to when it’s just
that my mind was all over the place. I'm sorry”
Mam‘S: “It's okay my child. I understand”
Me: “Thanks alot Mam'S”
We all got in the car and I drove off.
When we arrived I decided to make macaroni and
meat balls.
Sihe: “Ei my feet” when she enters in the kitchen.
Me: “Sorry Nana”
She went to cardboard and took marshmallows chips
and honey.
Me: “Juju! Come here” I shouted.
Juju: “Coming!” he shouted.
Me: “Sihe needs foot massage”
He gave me a weird look.
Me: “What?”
Juju: “Nothing”
Me: “Good. Now go and rub Sihe's feet”
They went to the lounge.
Sma: “Mommy phone don't have network” he sat in
the highchair in the kitchen.
980 | P a g e
Me: “Really? Go and take my laptop in the study. This
is strange. I need to get to the bottom of what
is happening here” I took my phone it also didn't have
network. Minutes later he came back with it.
Me: “Someone jammed the network”
Juju: “Mommy phone don't have network!”
Me: “I'm trying to fix it!” I shouted back.
Me: “Kids! Come here now!” I shouted out loud.
They gathered in the lounge looking terrified.
Me: “Where is Sihle?”
Elam: “He is in his room”
Me: “Doing what?”
Elam: "He is busy on his laptop” She flapped her
eyelashes repeatedly.
What's if it...
I went to the stairs took few step
Me: “Sihlelelwe Khumalo! Come here now with that
laptop” I shouted.
Five minutes later he came down.
Me: “Sihlelelwe why must I always repeat myself to
you? Huh?”
He didn't say anything.
Me: “I said come with your laptop and what did you
do?”
He raises an eyebrow on me.
Me: “Are you doing that thing on me?” I went straight
to him.
He kept quiet still.
981 | P a g e
Me: "I'm talking to you dammit!"-I shouted.
He turned and went upstairs. He came back with his
laptop.
Me: “Here is the laptop you wanted. When you speak
gentle I hear you I'm not deaf so don't shout at me” he
pulled an annoyed face. I took the laptop and gave him
one hell of slap and it caused him to fall.

Chapter 50

Me: “Don't you ever fucken talk to me like that wena” I

went upstairs to my room to calm myself
down. I don't know why he is that rude. He is worse
than his father.
After I went to the kitchen. Lethu was sleeping in Sihe's
lap. I dished for everyone. I took the plates to
the dining table.
Me: “Kids food is ready”
They came walking slowly. Sihle wasn't here. Surely he
is in his room.
Me: “Where is Sihle?”
Silence.
Me: “Okay. I know you are terrified now of what I did
to Sihle. One thing you all must know is I love
you unconditionally and I won't let anything or anyone
to harm you but I won't tolerate disrespect in
982 | P a g e
my house from my children”
Silence.
Lethu: “Mommy Sihle was crying in his room”
Me: “Okay my boy. Let me call him here” I brushed his
head.
I got up from the chair. I stood next to the stairs.
Me: “Sihlelelwe come here now! Before I come to drag
you out of that room!” I shouted.
He took his time to come down. After10 minutes he
came walking slowly. I went back to the dining
area and he followed me. I sat down and started to
eat. I heard a chair being pulled it was him getting
up from it.
Me: “Sihle sit that skinny ass of yours now!” calmly.
He stood still.
Me: “Sihle!” I put the fork down and closed my eyes.
Me: “I hate to repeat myself Sihle I said sit down!” my
voice is starting to raise up.
Juju: “Sihle sit down now!” he premanded him.
He stood still.
Me: “Don't test me child” I was looking at him.
Sihle: “Or what?”
I laughed sarcastically. I got up and went to his where
he was sitting in.
Me: “Is you man enough to disrespect me now? Huh?”
I slapped him and he catch my hand.
Me: “Okay. I'll give you what you want. Fist fight it is” I
pushed my sleepers and took off my jacket.
983 | P a g e
Juju: “Mom please don't do that!”
Me: “No Juju. He is man enough to face me right?”
Me: “Come boy let's do this”
Elam: “Mom!” I ignored her.
I slapped Sihle across that caused him to fall.
Me: “I won't be disrespected in my house”
He got up. I slapped him again but this time he
managed to balance.
Sihe: “Mom please stop!” she was crying.
Sma: “Sihle maarn stop it!”
I slapped him again.
Me: “If I have to beat you up every day I will I don't
mind fulfilling what you wish for”
Juju: “Mom! Look what you have done now” he
panicked.
When I looked at him. Lethu was laying down.
Me: “Fuck!” I quickly went to him.
Me: “Take car keys Juju we all going to the hospital!” I
picked Lethu up and I ran outside. Juju unlocked
the car we all got in and I drove off. I told Juju to call
Mam'S to inform her that we going to the hospital.
When we arrived there he was attended fast and the
doctor said his diabetes rised up but he did. I
asked to see him and he said I must go in. I took the
kids to go in Lethu's ward. We sat there looking
at me. He woke up and cried I managed to calm him
down. After two hours he was discharged. We all
went home.
984 | P a g e
As I drove in the yard I saw three crew buses and I
knew the guys were here. I got out the car and
picked Lethu up and went inside.
Me: “You need to start buying food in your cribs guys” I
saw them eating.
Kat: “What is wrong with him?”
Me: “Diabetes rised up but he is better now”
Andile: “What happened?” he pointed at Sihle's
cheeks.
Me: “What are you going in my house?”
TK: “Nompe we here to apologise”
Me: “Kids go and sleep”
They went upstairs. I went to tuck Lethu in my bed. I
found Elam and Nka my bed already. I went back
to the gents. We spoke things through and they
apologised about what happened and we ate.
Kat: “There's some dick out there trying to be Axe.
Killing style and all that. The injection we found
there is expensive and the question is who is he? But
the boys are on it as we speak”
Me: “When you find that motherfucker please don't do
anything without me”
Spikes: “Hahaha Queen what do you have in mind?”
I laughed.
Me: “Let me say I have something in store for him”
Later they went and I went to my room and slept.
Insert 52
We found out that Sihe is carrying twins. She cried all
985 | P a g e
the way until we arrived at home. Kids are
excited while Juju and Sihe are stressed but I told them
that I'll be there for kids.
Today I'm going to have a lunch with sister and friends.
After taking kids to their grandparent's house
at Umhlanga I drove to our favorite restaurant. I found
them already sitting.
Nomxo: “You go girl!”
I'm wearing an olive-green bandage dress with black
heel.
Nontu: “You're hot”
Me: “Thank you”
The waiter came to our table and took our order. They
apologised and we spoke things through. Our
order came and we dig in talking about old times
laughing. After we were done girls order champagne.
Me: “Excuse me I need to go to the ladies” I got up
from the chair.
As I turned I bumped to some lady. Her file fell and the
papers were all over I went down to help her.
Me: “Sorry I didn’t to and look how your papers are
messed up. I’m sorry… I lifted my head up a little
to look at her why she hasn’t said anything because I’m
apologising here…”
What the fuck!!
I literally froze I looked at her as she was looking at me
in that position. I have never saw anyone who
looks exactly like me.
986 | P a g e
Her: “I need to go” She took her papers that were in
my hand and walked out.
Nontu: “What the fuck happened here? If I didn’t know
I would have said that is your twin but no
you’re not”
I heard her talking but I didn’t make heard of what she
was saying.
“Nompe!” she shook me back to earth.
Nokwe: “come and sit friend I can see you bit
unsettled”
I went back to my chair and sat down. I need to know
who she is before I’m in deep shit because we
look the same. If she commits fraud or something they
could be mistakenly arrest me.
After lunch I went to the club to check if everything is
okay and I found everything in order. I went
home. I cooked supper and we all ate and slept.
I forgave Andile and the guys because of what
happened between us. We are still trying to find who
is trying to imitate my husband but we haven’t found
anything. I found out that the lady I saw at the
restaurant is Kagiso Maite’s wife. I still find it strange
because we found her background information
about her. She was born and bred in America and her
accent confirms that but it’s okay.
I haven’t heard from my mother but she said she is in
Joburg doing her personal stuff there of which
she didn’t mention. I’m alone in this house kids at
987 | P a g e
Umhlanga visiting pensioners but they are coming back
today because Lethu ordered them to.
Intercom went off I went too check who it is. It was Ta
Kat and Andile. I opened for them and I closed
the gate.
Andile: “When this house it quite I get bored”
Kat: “Haaa too quiet for my liking”
I laughed at that.
Me: “Sometimes I get peace and be able to think but I
can’t leave without they noise it keeps me
happy and looking forward to the future”
We laughed.
I went to get them as usually. Whiskey and ice. We
discussed business which I have shares in. I went
to start to cook dinner when I was about to finish the
door opened at I heard noise that warms my
heart. Andile and Kat came to the kitchen.
Elam: “Uncle Andile can I have my Brazilian hair?” We
all looked at Andile.
Andile sighed.
Andile: “Nompe can you help me?”
Me: “You must be joking. I can’t”
He sighed.
Andile: “Black Diamond you see Uncle forgot it at
home now…”
Elam: “Please give me cash so that I can call Aunty
Thando to buy it for me then I’ll pay her”
I didn’t see that coming.
988 | P a g e
Andile have her R200 note at least she didn’t know the
Brazilian hairs prices. She is jumped up and
down. After she went to her room to hide her money
because I mighty take it. We all laughed at her
when she left to her room because she thinks she is
too clever when she doesn’t know anything.
We ate dinner after that I served ice-cream and
crushed oroes as dessert. We all sat in front of tv.
Nka and Lethu played with their spoons as if they were
guns and making gun sounds.
Nka: “Listen here I am the Ghost and I lead this City
and all over!”
Lethu laughed and said “Please! Please!”
After Lethu said that they both laughed and I was
looking at them trying to make sense of what they
said.
Lethu: “haaah that Grandpa”
I carried on eating my ice-cream.
Nka & Lethu: “The Ghost don’t die The Ghost live
foever” that caught my attention.
Kat: “Kids please go to your room now. Nka and Lethu
please stay behind” He said with a smile. I see
he don’t want to scare but he heard what I heard.
Andile went to take marshmallows and placed it in
front of them. Nka smiled and Lethu looked at me.
Me: “You can eat marshmallows baby” I smiled at him
and he laughed.
Kat: “Who is Ghost boys?” He asks.
989 | P a g e
Nka: “Mkhulu”
We looked at each with questioning eyes.
Kat: “Are you sure?”
Lethu: “Yes. Nka and I went to mkhulu’s study. The
door was closed but not all of it. We heard mkhulu
saying that he is the Ghost. And we saw that Grandpa
crying”
They both look at each other and laughed until tears
came. Kat looked at me and Andile also.
Kat: “What is funny?”
Lethu: “Haaah Uncle Kat if you saw that Grandpa”
Nka got up and imitated “Grandpa”. He said “Please!
Please! He was crying and Mkhulu said he must
leave because he peed himself.
They laughed again. Kat told them to go to sleep.
Me: “Let’s go to the study”
We all got up and went. I made sure that I lock the
door.
Kat: “This mean Mntungwa is the Ghost? I don’t
believe this”
Andile: “This only means that he is the leader of
Scavengers”
Me: “Wait. The Ghost as is the only Ghost we hear
about but we don’t know him”
Andile: “Yeah”
Kat: “This is all fucked up!”
Silence.
Kat: “That’s why Scavengers made peace with The
990 | P a g e
Eagles”
Me: “So you want to tell me that you didn’t know that
your father is Thee Ghost”
He shook his head no.
Me: “This means if Mntungwa is The Ghost Dlamini is
also a member of Scavengers”
Andile was dead quiet.
Kat: “I need a drink” He got up and took the bottle and
two glasses. They drank it at once.
Me: “We need to get our facts straight”
Andile: “True”
Kat: “I hope mom is not is in this too” He is sad and
disappointed
At midnight they left. Tomorrow we ae meeting up to
find information about this. Spikes have been
briefed up.
I kept turning and tossing. Thinking about Mntungwa
being The Ghost gives me Goosebumps because
that man is heartless ruthless and most feared man in
underground world. I heard that meetings or
deals you find him in the spot looking on the wall and
you leave him like that.
“Nompendulo vuka usize umntwana…”
woke up breathing fast and I was wet from sweat.
After i woke up…
Sma: “Mom! Mom!”
I got up from the bed. He opened the door.
Me: “What is it?”
991 | P a g e
Sma: “It’s Juju”
I ran to his room I found Sihe crying. Juju was asleep.
My heart stopped for a minute. I sat on his bed
all the kids are in Juju’s bedroom now crying. I checked
his heartbeat it was still there.
Me: “Not this again. Sma help me to take him to the
car. Kids lets go”
Sihle went to take my phobe and car keys in my
handbag. We got in a crew bus and I drove to hospital.
He got the attention early. I called My parents and
Mntungwa. Sma called Lwandile and I also called
Kat and others.
Mntungwa: “Makoti what is wrong with him?”
Me: “I don’t what is wrong with him but it has
happened before”
Kat: “She didn’t show you the cure this time?”
Me: “No. she said I must wake up and help the child
after that he disappeared”
I sat there looking at my boy with all those machines
and its broke my heart to see him lying in the
hospital bed. After some time Nontu brought us clean
clothes and I called the school informing them
that Juju is hospitalised.
Two weeks passed there was no change in Juju’s
condition. Kids don’t want to eat I have to force them
to eat. Sihe’s BP went high but her doctor said he got
everything under control.
We are sitting in the corridors with mom is the
992 | P a g e
important business meeting. She’ll bring lunch with
her on her way back. I saw Kat approaching and he is
on the phone.
He let out a big sigh and sits next to me.
Me: “Is there something wrong?”
Silence.
Kat: “Your mother collapsed after her meeting”
I sighed.
Me: “Is she okay?”
Kat: “Yes she is going to be fine”
After an hour I went to check her she was asleep. I
asked the doctor and he said she is going to be fine
and her diabetes is under control. I went inside her
ward ad I sat on the chair.
Mom: “I’m sorry my baby I didn’t mean to scare you
off”
Me: “Don’t worry about that mom. How are you
feeling now?”
Mom: “I’m feeling better now”
I wonder what happened there or it’s her diabetes.
I spent time on her ward and I left when my sister and
TK came in. I went to check up on my baby. I
found my kids inside the ward. Sihle was reading a
story for his brother and others were quite listening
to him. I stood by the door listening. He is a good
storyteller like his father.
Elam: “Sihe look Juju is crying” She pointed Juju.
Me: “What?” I quickly went there. Tears were running
993 | P a g e
down but his eyes were still closed. I pressed
the button.
Me: “Juju please open your eyes my boy”
He didn’t open them. The nurses and doctor came in
and escorted us out. I stood there in the door
looking through a glass in there. The mask was taken
off and other machines were taken off. I cried.
The doctor came out of the ward and told us that he
can breathe on his own but it’s like he is talking
but not so loudly. I was bit startled by that but he told
me that I can go and see him but alone.
He was still crying. I hate to see my child suffering like
this. I held his hand and cited his clan names
and my other hand brushed his head softly. He
tightened my hand like really. He roared like an animal
and it caused him to sit up straight and he opened his
eyes.
I was still shocked when I saw what just happened. He
closed his eyes and cried hard. I got up and
comforted him. I hushed him till he fell asleep. I need
to know what is wrong with my child. When he
was asleep I went to check on other triplets were
asleep and I woke them up and I told them the
good news. Sihe jumped and ran to Juju’s ward to
check him she found her sleeping. We all got in. Nka
and Elam screamed that caused Juju to wake up.
Elam didn’t waste any time she got on top of the bed
and kissed his brother’s face. Sma helped him to
994 | P a g e
sit and he put a pillow under him. We are standing
looking at him and he just cried.
Me: “Don’t cry my boy you here with us”
We waited for him to calm down.
Sihle: “Ntwana you scared us”
Juju: “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to”
He stretched his hand to his left and touched Sihe’s
stomach and he smiled. A tear escaped his eyes.
Sihe: “They are both fine”
He smiled at her.
At afternoon the kids went and Mntungwa nd others
came to see Juju and he was eating.
Nontu: “I can’t just believe her yazi” She was talking to
her husband looking furious.
I went to them.
Nontu: “Mom discharged herself and she is on her way
to Joburg as we speak”
Me: “What?”
Nontu: “I can’t believe her right now”
Things are falling apart if it’s not this is that hayi I’m
tired.
After two days Juju was discharged and I took him
home. Mam’S cooked his favourite meal. He was
happy to be home but theres is something bothering
him. I can see through him I’m his mother.
Me: “Theres is something bothering you. Can we talk
about it?”
Juju: “I’m okay mom. He faked a smile”
995 | P a g e
During the week Sihe helped him to catch up on
schoolwork. Trails are around the corner and next
month Sihe is due I still have prepared a nursey for the
babies.
-------------
Elam: “My bags are packed already I can’t wait to
leave”
Sihle rolled his eyes luckily she didn’t see that because
it would have been a big fight. I don’t know
why they always fight. Juju is not himself but he says
he is okay and I’m worried about him. I even
suggested a therapy but he said he is not going there.
Juju: “Mtunzini will help me to relax”
Juju was not going to attend at his school and Sihe. Juju
was so clingy to Sihe. Spiro was taking them
to Mtunzini. After an hour Spiro came to take them.
Wheew! Now I can deal with my shit. I gave
Mam’S a one week leave so I’m alone.
My phone rang
Spikes: “Are you at home?”
Me: “Yes”
He hung up.
Weird! I went to wear something proper because I was
vest and socks. He called me to open a gate
for him and I did.
He got in followed by a Kat Andile and others. They all
sat down.
Me: “Out with it”
996 | P a g e
Spikes: “Please sit down”
Whatever it is it is big.
Me: “No I’m not say it”
Spikes: “Nompe” He said with a warning tone
Me: “Hayi say it”
They were all looking at me. I couldn’t read they mind.
Kat: “Nompendulo! Sit maarn now!” His voice was
deep and scary. I quickly sat down.
Spikes: “I have some file here and it is big but I hope it
will answer to some of your answers about
your life”
Me: “Speak please”
He sighed.
Spikes: “When I first saw that woman I told you about
that you look alike. I had people following her
everywhere she goes that why I found out that she is
married to Bra KG. I did some digging on her
but it wasn’t something solid. The time your mother
collapsed I was at that restaurant that day. The reason
that made her collapse was that she saw that woman
look is your photocopy"
Me: “Huh? But…”
Kat: “Let him finish”
I kept quiet.
Spikes: “I did some really digging. After I heard that
your mother discharged herself from hospital and
left to Joburg I followed her and I kept in touch with
my contact to find out who she is meeting and
997 | P a g e
when. I found out that the woman is your...”
Me: “My what?”
He sighed and closed his eyes and opened them again.
Spikes: “She is your twin…”
I stood up quickly. I shook my head repeatedly. I felt
like everything stopped for a minute. I sat again.
Spikes: “Her real name is Nomfanelo Mazibuko. She
was stolen at birth by Precious’s mother to get
back at to your father left her while she was pregnant
with Precious and went back to his wife your
mother”
Me: “Wait! Wait! You’re trying to tell me that I have a
twin sister who was sold by Precious’s mother
and Precious is my half-sister?”
Spikes: “Yes and I have all proof”
I shook my head in disbelief.
Spikes: “That wasn’t all”
Me: “There’s more than what I heard?”
Spikes: “Your mother is a qualified nurse and your
father was a qualified lawyer a very good friend of
Mntungwa”
Me: “Hayi! No my mother was a domestic worker not a
qualified nurse”
Kat: “Please listen. You’ll ask questions later”
I just nodded.
Spikes: “Your mother is a member of THE SCAVENGER
and your late father”
Me: “This is too much. I need a shot”
998 | P a g e
Andile went to take a whiskey. Poured a shot for me
and I gulped it.
Me: “All along my life was lie. No wonder everything is
falling apart for me. Some traditions as a girl
weren’t performed for me even when they went to
consult to iSangoma I wasn’t a part of that because
they were scared that I’ll find the truth”
Spikes nodded.
Me: “Where is my phone?”
Kat: “Relax. You must talk to her when you have calm
down but not now”
Me: “You know what I need to drink myself to sleep. I
went to take a bottle of wine and vodka. I drank myself
to sleep”
I was woken up by a sunrise when it hit in my eyes.
Andile stood there looking at me. I assume he is
the one who opened the curtain. I dragged myself to
the shower. I vomited while I was trying to bath.
I managed to clean the mess and I bathe. I found
breakfast on top of the bed and it was made.
Kat: “Eat” I don’t want to yazi.
I looked at him. Kat sometimes is something else.
Me: “I can’t take anything in”
He took his gun out and corked. “Eat” he said. I just
wanted to laugh like really. Scaring with a gun like
really.
I respected him I ate two slices of toast and eggs and
drank juice after I was done he took the tray
999 | P a g e
downstairs. I can’t believe what is happening with my
life now. To sit here and feel sorry for myself
won’t help me with anything or else I will go straight to
depression. I went to the study and opened
my laptop I need to work just to keep busy.
Andile: “Please don’t create deadly apps there”
I smiled at that. He came in and sat down. I remember
to check my emails.
Me: “My day couldn’t get any better”
Him: “What’s now?”
He came to see what I was looking at. It was the
pictures of The SCAVENGERS members including my
mother mother in-law and Andile’s mother in their in a
mission.
Andile: “So it turns out we all don’t know our parents
as we claimed that we did”
Kat came in too.
Kat: “Please find this person who sent those pictures”
I worked on it for almost two hours but it kept
changing location. The person who is doing this know
his or her story. I found the location and we instructed
other members to go and check the location
but they didn’t find anything.
Me: “However this is kodansa amapopayi”.
Even when I keep myself busy with work but my heart
is heavy luckily Lethu isn’t here. He is so
sensitive. He is the calm than the two. My
grandmother called and she is happy to have my kids
1000 | P a g e
at
home. I transferred the money on her account even
though she doesn’t need it but I did anyway.
I must have fallen asleep in the couch after the guys
have left. I had a strange dream I dreamt about
my husband. I smiled. I need him in time like these his
touch and everything but he left me alone… I
went to the kitchen to make something to eat after I
was done i took a glass and my favourite red
wine. I took a long bath in a tub while drinking my
wine.
-----------
I was woken by the ringing phone…. Urgh! I answered
in my sleep and I have a headache.
Me: “This better be good because if it’s not”
Zane: “Boss you must come to club ASAP”
I quickly sat up. It’s a manager from the club.
Me: “What happened? I’m on my way right now”
I went to take pink adidas pink tracksuit and adidas
sneakers. Took car keys and I locked. On my way I
received a call from Spikes telling me that the club was
on fire in the kitchen area but no one got
injured. When I got there were police and fire fighters
and customers waiting outside.
Me: “What happened?”
Policeman: “We don’t know the cause of fire mem but
we are investigating”
Me: “Mxm!”
1001 | P a g e
We were not allowed to get inside because it
dangerous and police are busy inside. Nxa as if they
will
find the course but me being me I called one of the
members to come and help to me here. He is a
Forensic Specialist.
Spikes: “I have what we need so let go to the
warehouse. There are so many unanswered questions
here” I drove out first and he was following me to the
warehouse.
We watched the CCTV footage but it was useless. I to
retrieve the footage but I couldn’t. there is
someone is playing with fire. I must up my game I went
to check if everything is fine when it concerns
Our IT department as a Gang and everything is under
control.
Me: “I don’t know where to start looking for this
motherfucker but all I know is if it was an enemy
we would have made front pages in newspaper but this
person is outsmarting me in find location and
to retrieve the footage. I hate it when someone is
outsmarting me!” I hit the table out of frustration.
A week after still I can’t find anything to tis
motherfucker who playing some sick jokes and I must
answer to Kat. This week is draining. Kat is out of town
but he is on my neck. I don’t get enough sleep
trying to crack this fucken this out. When I get his/her
location its either a dungeon or in the middle
1002 | P a g e
of nowhere. I went through my book to try and find a
new truck to crack this.
My phone rings. The caller id says Mntungwa.
Me: “Mntungwa”
Him: “Makoti how are you? Our meeting was supposed
to start 20 minutes ago” Eish… Fuck! I say
under my breath.
Me: “I’m sorry about that baba but I’m on my way”
Him: “Okay“
Eish I know he hates to wait and I won’t be surprised if
I don’t find him there. I drove like a maniac to
town. I completely forgot about my meeting with him.
His construction company will fix the kitchen
area that got burnt where there was fire. My
club/lounge has been closed for a week one I need it
operating I have cash that I have to clean so nje.
I greeted him and sat down. We discussed and I
showed him photos how damaged it is. He said it will
be fixed on this coming week. He is going overseas for
a business meeting. I still can’t believe he is a
heartless ruthless and feared gangster. After I went to
eat lunch alone.
Spikes Machete TK Spiro called me to come and eat
meat with them in some other car wash at
KwaMashu. I wanted to refuse at first but they insisted.
TK send the location and I drove.
Me: “Nontu will go crazy finding you here eating meat
and pap”
1003 | P a g e
We all laugh at him. My sister loves to cook like me. He
doesn’t want TK to eat junk food. TK growing
up had heart problem but is he keeping it under
control and his wife is making two hundred percent
sure that he eats healthy.
TK: “I don’t want to see oily food next to you” he
mimicked his wife’s voice. We laughed. My sister
can be controlling sometimes but she means well
especially when it comes to one’s health.
We stayed there the whole day. TK called other
members to come and chill with us.
Machete: “I want your twin phela Queen”
Me: “Voetsek msunu I don’t have a twin”
TK: “Machete withdraw that”
Machete lifted his hands up as he surrenders.
Me: “With few cans nje you are blabbing already…
ahhh mxm”. We laughed at him.
What I’ve noticed is Spiro is awful quiet and its unlike
him to be this quiet.
Me: “Spiroro usharp?”
Spiro: “yeah I’m cool”
Machete: “Trouble in paradise”
As I was about to answer Machete my phone ring.
Caller id… I sighed.
Kat: “I hope you have found something for me” Eish!!
Me: “Not really. Once I find it I will get back to you”
Him: “I’m surprised about what I hear on the
background”
1004 | P a g e
Ei cha! Kat can be intimidating sometimes.
Me: “I’m with gents here but I’m going home now”
He said okay and he hung up
Me: “Gents thanks for the invite but now I have to go”
When I checked time it was 21:45pm I took my car keys
and phone got in my car and drove home.
I’m tipsy when I get home ill smoke weed or
something. I opened the gate drove and closed it as
the
car as in. Took my handbag and went towards the
house.
What caught my attention was music playing soft as if
it is coming from inside but I thought maybe
it’s the neighbours. Mxm! I opened the door and lights
are off. No wait this soft music is playing inside
my house… I quickly took my gun behind my waist
checked at the kitchen area nothing. There is
someone who wants to die I see.
I saw a shadow in the lounge and yes the system is on.
Im sober now. I must kill someone. When I
took few steps yes I was right there is someone in my
house sitting in my sofas.
Me: “Don’t fucken move. If you do I’ll paint this wall
with your useless and empty brain”
Silence
“Still feisty Mrs Khumalo” a voice said still sitting not
moving.
My mind froze a bit. This voice sounds like my late
1005 | P a g e
husband’s voice but I know I buried him.
Me: “You bustard…….”
He got up and switched on the lights………
I froze when I see someone who looks exactly like my
late husband. This person stood there and looked
at me.
Me: “You bastard take off the musk before I shot your
balls now!” I yelled.
He stood there and smiled faintly. Am I dreaming or
what? Is my mind working?
Him: “Babe it’s me. You don’t recognize me? ”
Me: “Voetsek! I buried my husband seven years ago
don’t tell me that crap!”
Him: “I didn’t die. It was a cover”
Me: “Shut up!” I screamed.
I took off my jacket because it was warm. He quickly
came to me and took my gun and put it behind
his waist. I need someone who can explain this shit
happening here I don’t understand; I can’t
understand shit going on here.
He took off his shirt. He showed me his back…….
Everything stopped for a minute I felt like world has
stopped my mind and my body has stopped to
function. I felt tears burning in my eyes…. He turned
around and I saw a tattoo on his stomach his it was my
kids’ heads.
It came all back their pains I had after I heard he has
passed on being responsible for his 6 kids while
1006 | P a g e
the triplets were bone prematured how his boys
needed him and missed him…… I just wailed out. He
tried to come to me…
Me: “Don’t you dare touch me!”
Him: “I’m sorry I know the pain I put you through but it
was for the best Nompendulo”
Me: “I don’t want to hear anything coming from your
filthy mouth.”
I calmed down and he disappeared and he came back
and gave me water. I drank water and calmed
down. I was now sitting on the floor with hiccups and
him standing looking at me……
“Surprise!!…” when I lifted my eyes fuck it my kids…
Sma: “Dad” he whispered
He just kept quiet.
Kat: “I brought them hom…” he stopped when he saw
his brother standing in the lounge.
Kat: “What the fuck is happening here?” he roared.
Sihle: “How could you do this to us Dad?” his voice was
breaking. Juju just stood there and Sihe was a
statue. Triplets were standing next to each other
looking lost.
The tension in the house is really killing me. I saw Juju
taking Sihe upstairs. Lethu came to me.
Lethu: “Mommy why are you crying?” he wiped my
tears with his small hands. I sighed.
Me: “It nothing my boy”. Nka and Elam came to sit on
my lap. This is bad Elam is quiet.
1007 | P a g e
Nka: “Who is this mommy?”
I hate to answer this question but I had to…. Tears fall
on my cheeks. I closed my eyes and opened
them again.
Me: “He is your father” It came as a whisper because I
still don’t believe it.
Lethu: “He is not. Mom you said our father died”
This is going to be hard especially to them.
Me: “I know my boy that all I knew”
Nka got up and went to his father. Samkelo went down
to his level Lethu and Elam went to him too. I
stood up and looked at them.
Elam: “Who are you?”
Samkelo wiped one tear which escaped his eye
quickly.
Samkelo: “I am Samkelo Khumalo your father”
Elam: “But I don’t look like you”
Lethu and Nka looked at each other and back to
Samkelo.
Lethu & Nka: “ You look like us”
Elam: “Count me out!”
Nka: “You don’t look like us”. He sticked his tongue out
to Elam. Lethu did that too.
Elam: “Mom look at them”. I shook my head I don’t
have any strength in me to primand them.
Silence.
Elam: “So when are you giving me your black card for
me to go shopping”
1008 | P a g e
Juju came running.
Juju: “Mom we need to take Sihe to hospital. She is
pain”. I rushed upstairs luckily Sma called an
ambulance.
Me: “Uhm Juju take her bags and call Sihle for me”
He went to Sihe’s closet
Me: “Sihe breathe in and breathe out” She looked at
me like I was crazy at first but she did as told.
Sihle: “I’m here mom” he was in the door.
Me: “Please go and pack their jacket and a big black
throw in Elam’s room and pack their snacks”
Sma: “Mom the ambulance is on the way here”
Samkelo: “Can I help?”
Me: “No we don’t need your help” I wasn’t even
looking at him.
Sma: “Mom the ambulance is taking long”
Samkelo left the room.
Me: “Sihe baby I’m taking you to hospital okay? *she
nodded* uhm Juju help me to take her downstairs”
Samkelo: “Please move”
Me: “Don’t start. Please!”
Samkelo: “This is not about you so please move so I
can carry her downstairs?”
Me: “I’ll carry her myself so don’t tell me to move”
Juju: “Mom Sihe is heavy you can’t carry her. Let him
carry her”
Me: “Juju don’t!”
Sihle: “Mom please!”
1009 | P a g e
Sihe: “All of you shut the fuck up! Can’t you see I’m in
pain I need to hospital. So please!”
The room went quiet.
Samkelo moved me gently aside and picked Sihe up in
a bridal style.
Me: “I can’t really believe this” I clapped once in
disappointment. Kids went after them.
I went downstairs took my handbag locked the door
and went to the car.
Samkelo: “Drive safely. You’ll find me here” I looked at
him shocked.
Me: “I don’t need you in my house” got in the driver’s
seat and drove off in totally speed to the
hospital.
Sma: “I’ve been trying to call Uncle Kat but he doesn’t
pick up my calls ”
My senses came back when I recall what happened
early on. He just disappeared nje. My phone was
connected in the speakers so I called Phindi and told
her that she must met us in the hospital.
When we arrived Juju ran inside and came back with
two nurses. I helped her to get off the car and
we put her in the stretch and they wheeled her in with
Juju and Sihle.
Lethu: “Is she going to be okay?”
Me: “Yeah she is going to be okay”
Silence.
Me: “Let’s go inside babies to sign some few
1010 | P a g e
documents”
Triplets got off the car took my bag and locked then
car. My mind is slow I‘m thinking but everything
is moving slow.
Phindi: “Nompe we are performing a C-section on Sihe.
Her BP is too high and she can’t spend many
hours on labour that will risk her life and the babies’
life”
Me: “Okay”
She disappeared. Juju threw himself in my arms and he
sobbed.
Me: “They will be okay my baby. This is not time for
crying you have to be strong for them” he pulled
out from the hug and I wiped his tears.
Juju: “Okay mom”
Elam gave him water. She is quiet in fact the three of
them and I don’t like it.
Me: “Go baby she needs you. We will be here waiting
for you” he nodded.
He went away. I went to sit next with my kids.
Sihle: “Mom everything will be okay” I just looked at
him. Unlike him.
I smiled at him wondering when he grew up because
we most of the time we fight.
Sma: “Yeah mom. Everything will be okay. We need to
focus on the babies”
Me: “Ncooah thanks my munchies *They smiled*
Lethu: “We will see him again mom?”
1011 | P a g e
I heaved a sigh. This is a hard situation because the
boys know him and as the time goes by they will
forgive him but I’m also worried about the triplets they
need him.
Me: “Yeah my boy you will see him”
After an hour Nka Lethu and Elam was asleep. Their
grandparents came in. I went to them.
Mntungwa: “Makoti”
Me: “Baba. She is still threate but I hope they will be
okay”
We sat there for another hour and we saw Juju coming
towards us with a big smile on his smile. I stood
up and met him halfway.
Me: “How are they?”
Juju: “They are fine mom but Sihe is tired and asleep”
MaNdlovu: “Siyabonga Nkosi” she looked up.
Mntungwa: “Usebenzile” he gently squeezed his
shoulder. Juju smiled.
Phindi organised a private ward for Sihe and the
babies. Luckily it was her month they won’t need to
be incubator like my triplets.
When we arrived in her ward the bodyguards were
there to guard her and my grandkids. Thanks to
Phindi because she organised everything. She gave me
a look and I think she heard the news. Sihe was
now awake
MaNdlovu: “How are you feeling now my baby?”
Sihe: “I’m good gogo but tired” her voice was softly
1012 | P a g e
I’m happy that they have good relationship. Sihe
wouldn’t have survive her hatred
Me: “Good. Any names parents?”
MaNdlovu picked up a chubby boy and the other
handed him to Juju who was now sitting on the bed.
Anyway they are both boys.
Juju: “Sqalesihle Khumalo” I saw tears in his eyes. Sihe
smiled. He gave Sqalo to his mother. He was
given the tiny one.
Juju: “Sukoluhle Khumalo” his tears fall on his cheeks.
Mntungwa was looking down all this time and
MaNdlovu was crying.
After spending time with them I took my kids and we
went home. When we arrived the lights were
off and the boys helped taking the young ones to their
bedrooms. i drank water and went to check
them in their rooms. They were fast asleep. Ncooah
shame my nunus were tired I was also tired then
I went to my bedroom the lights were off. I light them
on……… Boom!
Me: “I’m really being tested here” he didn’t move.
He was sleeping on his side of the bed. I stood there for
a while looking at him. He was sleeping
peacefully with his lips pouted a little but he needs to
get up and find a room to sleep in not this one.
I went to him.
Me: “Wake up!” I shook him.
Silence.
1013 | P a g e
Me: “Hayi Samkelo maarn” I roughly shook him.
Him: “Mmmm. Go away”
Me: “Nxaa voetsek! Get up and disappear now!”
He set up and rubbed his eyes.
Him: “This is my bedroom too so please”
Me: “Look I’m tired and i don’t have energy to fight
with you. Get your things and fuck off”
Him: “I’m not doing that. Its either you join me or
whatever but I’m not going anywhere”
Sigh.
I don’t have energy to fight at the ewe hours so I went
to closet took the blanket and went to take
my pillow but his head was on my pillow.
I took my gun crocked it.
Me: “Lalela wena msunu” I was pointing at him.
Him: “Mxm!” he turned to the other side.
I took another pillow and went to the guestroom.
There’s no way I’m sharing bed with him. I took off
my clothes.
“Your body hasn’t changed” the voice said when I
turned it was him.
Me: “What the fuck are you doing here? Huh?” I
quickly took the shirt and covered my breasts.
Him: “You don’t have to hide your body from me. I
know you each deep corner of you” he smirked.
Me: “Get the hell out of my room!” I screamed.
Him: “We need to talk Nompendulo and there are
things that we have to discuss before you sleep”
1014 | P a g e
Me: “You’re inconsiderate selfish bastard….”
Him: “Swear all you like but I’m not living without
talking to you. Oh and please mind your words when
you are speaking to me”
I showed him a middle finger. He smirked. He still
knows how to annoy the hell out me.
Silence.

Chapter 51

Him: “Before we say anything like. Thank you so much

for taking care of my kids” I felt tears in my
eyes. His face hardens and he clenched his jaws.
He got up and went out the door and he closed it after
him. I sat on the bed still trying to process the
shit that is happening in my life my kids’ life and
everything that is going to go down.
I felt his hand on my face and I jumped. He closed his
eyes. I didn’t hear him getting in.
Silence.
Him: “I’m sorry” it came as a whisper. I wiped my
tears.
He rubbed his hands together.
Him: “I’ve made mistakes in my life. Some of them I
don’t care about them but leaving you alone with
six kids was the terrible mistake I’ve ever done and I
will forever regret it”
1015 | P a g e
He was looking down...
He: “I vowed to protect you and our kids. As a man it is
my responsibility to take care of you and
protect you”
Me: “Make it fast I want to sleep”
He raised his head and gave me a stare.
Him: “Next few hours Kat will be here beating me up
and there’s also our families to deal with gang
press and all that so I need to tell you the reason that
made me fake my death. Please listen to me”
his voice was calm and deep as usual.
I kept quiet.
Him: “ it was there last week before you marked 7
months full pregnant with triplets when I heard
that my enemies wanted to kidnap you and take my
kids out of the country. I thought of many ideas
to come up with but it wasn’t concrete so the only
option I was left with was to fake my death to save
you and my unborn babies”
Tears gushed out and I couldn’t hold a sob. It came
flooding back when I found out that he was “died”.
He gave me water I drank it but he was holding the
bottle because my hands were shaking because
of what I’ve just heard.
Me: “There were many options Samkelo. If you told me
we would’ve come up with many ideas”
Him: “If it was that easy I would have taken the best
option for all of us but it was not easy. I wanted
1016 | P a g e
my kids to be born on time and be there with my boys
and for you…”
Me: “You took the best decision for yourself not for us”
Him: “Nompendulo I saw how you surfered when we
lost the other twin in the quad so I knew that
you wouldn’t have survived it”
Me: “I never knew that you were this selfish”
Him: “How was I supposed to do Nompendulo huh?
Before I left everything was I order because I
knew you’ll have complications after receiving the
news. I made sure that you don’t lose my kids
because that would have killed you so please
understand where I’m coming from” his voice is a bit
up
now.
Me: “Do you know what I went through after that?”
tears came flooding.
He shook his head and he is in the vague of crying.
Me: “I almost lost my kids because my blood pressure
was too high. I had three boys to care of too
because I didn’t want them to feel neglected. My
friends deserted me in the most difficult time. My
parents were there to help me but they must go back
because I wanted to adapt in the new situation.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression because I
wasn’t coping. Imagine taking up in the morning
trying to desl with the fact that I would never ever see
you again and to always see your photocopy in
1017 | P a g e
kidies was hard”
He is crying silently.
Me: “So don’t come here and tell me that it was also
hard for you”
Him: “Do you think it nice to see your kids each and
every day of the past 7 years in a fucken cameras”
My eyes popped out.
Me: “What?”
Him: “I have my boys here who were watching you and
my kids for protection”
Me: “I want all the names of those fuckers who had me
followed right now!”
The corner of his mouth curved a smile.
Him: “You don’t know them but soon you’ll meet
them”
He sighed.
Him: “Your long-lost twin sister is a leader of a Mexican
Cartel which is why KG married her. KG wants
to be back in the game using his wife’s name but what
he doesn’t know is I am the leader of the Cuban
Cartel like anybody else. They only know a good friend
of mine as a leader because I didn’t want my
cover to be exposed”
He gave me a big brown envelop that had pictures of
KG and his wife. Other pictures they were on an
island having a good time. After I was done looking at
the pictures I handed the envelop to him.
Him: “After all that is about to happen I need time to
1018 | P a g e
spend with my kids” he was looking at me.
I’m scared about the drama that will happen in few
hours because the kids will want their father who
everyone is against and pissed at including myself but
after all he is their father.
Him: “I would never hurt or let anything hurt my kids”
Me: “Boys are angry at you and I don’t blame them
they have every right to be angry but please don’t
force them. And then there’s three young rascals they
are excited but confused to see you but please
don’t make them turn against each other. Boys will be
overprotective to the younger three especially
Sihle so please understand where they are coming
from”
He nodded.
Him: “I know they characters but can you please
explain further”
I know what I’m about to do is wrong but he need to
understand them and try to amend the
relationship between him and his kids.
Me: “You know what I need a bottle of wine so I can be
able to talk”
He gave me a stare.
Me: “Ei don’t give that look. Wine soothes me”
He got up and left the room. A while he came back
with a tray carrying my wine and glass and his
whiskey and a glass too.
Him: “I think we both need a drink”
1019 | P a g e
Me: “Cheers to that” I took my wine and the glass. I
poured it and drank.
Him: “You drink like a fish bab…”
I raised my eyebrows and gave him a death stare.
Him: “I’m sorry Nompe” he scratched his head and
gulped down his drink in a one go.
Me: “We’re here speaking because we have children
together and I will try to civil by all means
because I know that we don’t choose family but don’t
think that I will take you back or something like
that”
Him: “You’re still my wife we didn’t divorce remember”
he raised one eyebrow.
Me: “Don’t be smart with me wena and I have a man” I
pulled up a straight face. He looked at me put
down his glass and laughed.
Nxaa I wonder what he is laughing at. He laughed until
tears fall. He stretched his hand and took his
laptop.
Him: “Watch here”
I looked at the screen. Fuck this is my bedroom…
Me: “You son of a bitch. How could you!” my voice is
high right now.
Him: “Calm down!”
He opened another footage. I was in their bathroom
taking shower. I knew that he is crazy but I didn’t
know that it was this bad.
Me: “If I ever find this fucken footage online or
1020 | P a g e
something hell brakes will lose”
Him: “Relax it won’t. I studied IT while I was away so I
know everything about it”
Like really? This man here is something else I’m telling
you. He “died” and after 7 years he came back
being IT geek who was spying on me for the whole
fucken 7 years in fact he knew everything that
happen in this house for the past years.
Me: “What else I need to know?”
Him: “Thanks for being loyal to me while I was away”
Me: “Don’t fool yourself Samkelo. I have a man and I’m
meeting him tonight for dinner”
Him: “I would have killed that dickhead long time ago”
Me: “What? Why?”
Him: “I had you followed everywhere so if you had a
boyfriend I would be the first one to know”
Me: “You know what fuck you” I sipped again
Him: “A lot but right now I need to sleep here with you
please”
Me: “when you were away you lost your mind too I
see. Not happening”
Him: “I wanted to sleep in the couch so I don’t know
what your naughty mind was thinking” he
smirked.
I showed him a middle finger and he laughed. I threw a
pillow at him. I’m not supposed to be reacting
like this towards but I can’t control the way I feel. Wait
do I still have feelings for him? If I am please
1021 | P a g e
hit my head so bad because I’m not thinking straight
but I think I had a lot of wine.
I must have doze off because I wake up at him staring
at him.
Me: “Nxaa don’t do that shit dude”
Him: “I was longing for this moment” a smile creeped
in his face.
Me: “Mxm” I got up and went to the en-suite
bathroom here I brushed my teeth.
When I went back to the room he was looking at his
laptop.
Me: “I must go and prepare breakfast for kids before
they wake up”
Him: “Yeah I will help you”
I was about to take my phone when I heard noise
outside the room I’m in. There is a knock I a door.
Samkelo went to open it was Lethu.
Lethu: “Mommy I’ve been looking for you” he is sad
Me: “Mommy changed the room nana. Sorry okay” he
nodded. He came to me and gave me a hug
and kissed my cheek. He pulled out and went to stand
in between Samkelo’s legs as he was sitted in
bed
Lethu: “I do this every day to mom and I would like to
hug and kiss your cheek if you don’t mind dad”
he smiled after saying that.
Samkelo opened his arms for lethu and they shared a
long hug. They stood in that position until I heard
1022 | P a g e
Samkelo sniffing.
Lethu: “Dad I can’t breathe” he wanted to laugh but
Samkelo didn’t even hear what Lethu said.
I saw him jumping and lethu bursted out laughing.
Samkelo quickly wiped his tears and shook his head
at Lethu.
Me: “Let’s go and make breakfast”
I got up and left the room. They were following me and
Lethu was on Samkelo’s shoulder and he was
tickling Lethu was busy laughing.
When we got to the kitchen he put him on the
counter.
Elam: “Dad please tickle me too”
Nka: “And me too”
Samkelo didn’t know how to handle this matter.
Samkelo: “Okay” he picked the Nka and Elam and
placed them next to Lethu. He tickled them at the
same time.
Part of me is still angry at him but the other part is
happy that he didn’t die. Okay don’t overthink think he
is here for his kids. Oh and for his grandkids.
Lethu: “Mommy can you please call Mkhulu for me”
Samkelo’s eyes popped out.
Me: “Do you miss Mkhulu?”
Lethu: “Yes mom but more important I need him to
take me for shopping”
I gave him a look. He smiled.
Lethu: “Mom I’m an uncle now I need to buy clothes
1023 | P a g e
for my nephews” people I’m a proud mom.
Samkelo was confused.
Me: “Ncooah my boy. I will call him after breakfast”
Samkelo: “Go and wake your brothers and tell them
breakfast is almost ready” he put them down and
they ran to upstairs.
Him: “You can’t call Mntungwa now”
Me: “I’m sure Kat is waiting for us to eat breakfast
after that they are coming here”
He roughly brushed his head. He sighed.
Him: “Why don’t you take Lethu for shopping?”
Me: “His money is with Mntungwa not me”
Him: “His money?”
Me: “He was “working” for Mntungwa as in polishing
his shoes and he will earn money so that money
is with Mntungwa”
He: “Wow! He is smart”
Me: “Yeah. Kat said it’s over a R1000 rand because he
was earning R100 a day”
Him: “He is a good negotiator neh”
Me: “Yes he is”
I heard noise coming down the stairs and I’m happy
that they are alive. In this house expect no noise
when they are asleep or at school but other than that
forget it.
Juju: “Morning mom” he took an apple wiped it with
his t-shirt and took a bite. I gave him a look.
He laughed.
1024 | P a g e
Juju: “Haaa I will wash it next time”
Me: “Soon you will see what I always preach” he
laughed.
Elam came in running followed by her pair.
Sihle: “Elam I want my money now!”
Sma came in ang greeted me only mind you Samkelo is
also here but they pretend as if he is not here.
Me: “Manje?”
Sihle: “Elam wants to be the best aunt in the world
with my money”
We all laughed including Samkelo.
Lethu: “Mom I’m hungry”
Me: “Eish sorry my boy. Let’s go to the dining room
and eat”
Lethu said the grace as usually while Samkelo was
already eating. He stopped as he was blessing the
food and continued with his food. He hasn’t changed a
bit. He still loves his food like his kids around
the table.
After eating kids took plates to the kitchen.
Samkelo: “I need to…” he was interrupted by my
ringing phone.
Me: “Ta...”
Kat: “What the fuck with fucken guards all over?”
Me: “What are you talki... ”
Kat: “Don’t fuck with me just open the fucken gate
before I lose my cool”
He hung up. I looked at Samkelo.
1025 | P a g e
Me: “What the fuck with the guards in my house
without my permission!”
I got up and went to the main door. There are so many
men in my yard wearing all black carring guns.
Me: “Samkelo what the fuck is going on here!?”
He came to me.
“Boss there are people in the gate” the other man said
to Samkelo.
Samkelo: “Let them in”
The man looked at Ssamkelo not sure at what to do.
Samkelo: “Give them clearance. While on that brief all
the security not to fire. No matter what happens
DO NOT FIRE!”
The man: “Yes boss”
The man left and we got inside. Kids were in the lounge
watching tv.
Kat: “Juju! Sma!” his voice is more broad than usual.
The boys came in running. They know him too well.
Kat: “Go take your gadgets and Lethu’s medication
Spiro will take you all to Umhlanga”
The boys nodded.
His eyes shifted to Samkelo and he is breathing fire it
just that he was waiting for kids to be out of here
then World War III can take place.
Elam: “Uncle Kat” her hands were on her waist. He
turned to look at her direction. Even though he
was angry but a smile escaped his mouth.
Kat: “My black Pearl”
1026 | P a g e
Elam: “Is it the day already or I forgot?”
Kat just looked confused. Trust Elam to be an ice
breaker in tough situation.
Elam: “Uncle Kat please don’t tell me you forgot about
a father and daughter day?”
Kat: “Look Princess Uncle Kat here is kinda busy but
tomorrow I promise I’m taking you out” she
smiled.
Kat: “Right now sweetheart you going to Grandparent’s
house with your siblings”
She frowned.
Kat: “I need to talk with mom and dad here okay”
Elam: “Okay”
Boys came back with bags and Lethu didn’t want to go
but Kat picked him up and told him he’ll come
to see him before he sleep. He nodded. My kids were
escorted with our bodyguards.
Kat came back and he found us in the same position as
he left us.
Kat: “Well well well we have the Ghost Axe here” he
rubbed his hands together.
All the guys inside the house chuckled and Samkelo
was a bit shaken but he didn’t want to show it.
Samkelo: “Grootman” he bowed his head a little.
Kat took of his tracksuit jacket and handed it to Spikes.
He went straight to Samkelo who was standing
next to the couch. I punched him hard and he fell on
floor. Samkelo’s bodyguards corked their guns
1027 | P a g e
pointing at Kat.
Samkelo: “DON’T SHOOT! I REPEAT DON’T SHOOT!”
Kat: “Don’t be a pussy Axe with one punch you like
this” he pointed him.
Samkelo got up and another punch followed and then
kicks and punches on his face. The fight went
on no let me say the beating went on and on until we
heard a shoot.
“What the fuck is going on here!” when we turned our
eyes it was Mntungwa.
Kat: “Mntungwa please let me deal with...”
Mntungwa: “Fuck off Khethokuhle!” his voice has so
much authority that made Kat to shut it. I can’t
believe my father in law just swore.
Samkelo was still in the floor. When his father saw him
he froze and blinked twice.
Mntungwa: “Samkelo”
Samkelo: “Dad”
Mntugwa went to him and crouched to look him. He
hugged him for the long time after the broke the
hug Mntungwa punched Samkelo hard in his face and
he groaned.
Mntungwa: “How can fucken do what you did?” his is
livid and ready to finish off what Kat has started.
Mntungwa got up and turned to look at me.
Mntungwa: “Prepare a hot bath for him and put your
bathing salts there”
Me: “Yebo baba” I went upstairs and prepared bath as
1028 | P a g e
I was told. Took a clean gown and his sleepers.
When I was about to go open the door his bodyguards
were holding him.
Me: “Follow me”
I went to bathroom with them following me.
Samkelo: “You can go now” they nodded.
I just looked at him with his badly bruised face and his
left eye was swollen.
Me: “Let me help you to take your clothes out”
He just looked at me.
Me: “Let me just take a scissor and tear these clothes
because I will throw them anyway”
He nodded. I went to take a scissors in the drawer and
when I came back he was leaning on the wall.
I cut his clothes and he got inside the bathtub and he
closed his eyes.
Me: “Let me leave you and enjoy your bath I’ll be back”
Samkelo: “Please don’t leave”
I was hesitant at first but I chose to listen to him. I sat
on the seat of the toilet and looked at him.
Even if he is bruised he is still that Samkelo I knew back
then. His body is still flames people it shows
he still work out. He has new tattoos and uhm is still
there don’t ask me what….
Samkelo: “You are drooling even if I’m badly bruised” I
came back from my thoughts
Me: “Don’t fool yourself”
Samkelo: “I know I’m hot and you taking my clothes off
1029 | P a g e
didn’t make you any justice”
Me: “I don’t have time for this” I got up and went to
the door.
Samkelo: “I’m done anyway. Please help me out” I
rolled my eyes.
I went to him helped him out as he asked.
Samkelo: “Please help me to wipe me dry” I just looked
at him and now I’m getting pissed.
I sighed. Took a towel and wiped him dry. I wrapped a
dry towel on his waist and helped him to go
back to the bedroom.
Him: “Thank You kaMazibuko” I rolled my eyes and left
him in the bedroom.
I went back to the lounge the guys were still and
Mntungwa too. after a while Spiro came in carrying
Kat’s Medical case.
Kat: “I will tell Phindi to come and handle this”
Mntungwa: “I don’t want Phindi. I want you to take
care of him”
Kat: “But Dad…”
Mntungwa: “I won’t repeat myself to you Khethokuhle.
My word is final. Take your case and follow
me and you Makoti”
As we were going up Samkelo’s bodyguards bumped
into Kat.
Kat: “Watch where you go. You asshole” the guy didn’t
respond to that.
The guy: “Mrs Khumalo boss said I must tell you to
1030 | P a g e
make mazi for him” I don’t understand him and
his accent is making things worse. I nodded.
When we got to the bedroom his facial expression
changed to fear when he saw his father.
Mntungwa: “Wena msunu I’ll waiting for you to heal
and beat the shit out” he didn’t respond.
Kat just stood there looking at his brother with nothing
but anger and
his accent is making things worse. I nodded.
When we got to the bedroom his facial expression
changed to fear when he saw his father.
Mntungwa: “Wena msunu I’ll waiting for you to heal
and beat the shit out” he didn’t respond.
Kat just stood there looking at his brother with nothing
but anger pain and harted.
Mntungwa: “Khetha do your thing but don’t hurt me
because I’m here and you know what I’m capable
of so don’t piss me off” Kat nodded and looked at me
for some time after that he went to the bed did
his thing then he went out.
Mntungwa: “Wena you don’t leave town because I’ll
kill you myself and bury you real this time. Nxa!”
with that he went out.
Me: “your silly bodyguard said you wanted what?”
Samkelo: “I said can I please have amasi”
I chuckled.
Samkelo: “What did he said?”
Me: “He said mazi” he tried to laugh.
1031 | P a g e
He looked at me with his one eye.
Me: “What?”
Samkelo: “More guys are coming here including the
doctor who can help me to heal fast”
Me: “I don’t care with your guys coming but not in my
house”
Samkelo: “But…”
Me: “I said not in my HOUSE”
He didn’t say anything but he took his phone and
dialled.
Him: “I already sent the location to you. You must
come alone and the guys are sorted. The car will
take them somewhere else where they can work for
this few until I’m done” with that he dropped the
call.
Samkelo: “I’m hungry”
I gave him a death stare and walked out of the room.
The reason I will make food for is because he
must take medication. Luckily there was uphuthu in
the fridge I defroze it and minutes late a
bodyguard came with amasi. I put everything in a tray
and took it to him upstairs.
Samkelo: “Ngiyabonga kakhulu MaMwelase”
He tried to mix it but it was a struggle I took a bowl
from him and mixed it for him. I sighed because I
must feed him or else he will make mess here in my
expensive bedding. He moved a bit so I can sit. I
sat in position I can be able to feed like.
1032 | P a g e
The first spoon that went to his mouth wasn’t that full.
Samkelo: “You beautiful” he said in between his chew.
Me: “Swallow”
Samkelo: “You too fast Nompe” I rolled my eyes.
Me: “I’m used to feed triple at the same time that’s
why I’m fast”
He swallowed the open his mouth. We did that until he
finished his food.
Samkelo: “Thanks for taking care of me. I don’t deserve
it I know but thank you so much”
Me: “Okay”
When I was about to get up my phone rang and it was
Juju.
Me: “My baby”
Juju: “Mom please I’m old for that”
Me: “Even if you 50 you’ll be my baby boy”
Juju: “Okay mom. Is Da…. Dad with you?”
Me: “Yes baby what is it?” He laughed.
Juju: “Please put the phone on loudspeaker you have
to hear this” I did as he said.
Juju: “I was on Instagram and it happened to see Aunt
and Elam’s photo of them together and she
came to sit next to me and she saw the photo now she
wants to have Instagram to see her photos” the
boys laughed on the background.
Sihle: “She is throwing tantrums here because we don’t
want to download it for her” I just laughed and
Samkelo did too but he coughed and that made him to
1033 | P a g e
stop laughing.
Me: “She is too young to have Instagram”
Sma: “She also said she wants to have her channel on
YouTube showing other girls how to do facials”
I busted out laughing until tears came.
Juju: “We all laughed at her but she said she knows
that we are jealousy of her”
Nka: “She called us Haters” I laughed
Me: “Where is Lethu?”
Juju: “He is with Elam trying to calm her down”
Me: “They are close these days”
Sma: “Apparently Lethu will be the one who will take
selfies with her when she is famous”
Me: “I guess I’m joining haters list because I won’t let
her do that”
Juju: “Yeah that true mom”
Sihle: “Don’t forget that there is Aunt Thando who can
do things happen for her younger version”
Me: “Oh God give me strength because I can’t deal”
Boys laughed at me.
Juju: “Good night mom” they all said too.
Me: “Good night boys I love you all”
Them: “We love you too mommy”
They dropped the call without saying goodnight to him.
He had a smile on his bruised face.
Me: “It will take them time to accept that you left them
so give them time and double that time when
it comes to Sihle. He is your replica and he is worse
1034 | P a g e
than you so please be gentle on him because he
behaves like you when you mad”
He sighed. Samkelo: “Juju and Sma are hurt angry and
sad while Sihle has hatred and angry so he is a ticking
bomb while the triplet doesn’t have a clue”
He sighed again.
Samkelo: “I know no amount of sorry or gift I can buy
to erase the pain I have caused in you and my
kids and family but it warms my heart when I see how
my triplet our babies has grown. I agree that I
took the bad decision that cause pain and heartbreak
in my loved ones but I can do it again just to
protect you and my kids. It wasn’t easy to see my kids
on camera every single day and the hardest day
was the day you found out that Lethu is diabetic I
wanted to come back but I couldn’t risk your safety
because I knew you will seek help with everything you
have”
Tears filled my eyes.
Me: “Raising six kids alone was hard but thanks to my
parents your parents Kat and Nomxo Spikes Spiro and
other who helped indirectly. I have everything houses
cars money business all over but I
had five kids who looks exactly like you so it was hard
at first because I was diagnosed with clinical
depression but I got help”
I felt his thumb on my cheek and I knew he was wiping
my tears.
1035 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Come here”
I got closer to him and he hugged me. Sobs escaped my
mouth. I cried until I couldn’t. He broke the
hug and wiped the tears in my face.
He: “I don’t like to see you crying ba…” He was
interrupted by my ringing phone. It was Juju.
Me: “My boy” my voice was hoarse from all the crying.
Lethu: “Mommy are you okay? Were you crying?”
Eish! Fuck
Me: “No my boy. Mommy is coming down with flue
okay”
Lethu: “Sorry mommy. Please tell Dad to take care of
you because you sick”
Me: “Okay I will tell him my boy”
Lethu: “Is he next to you?”
Me: “Yes”
Lethu: “Please give him the phone mom. I need to talk
to him man to man” I chuckled I put the phone
on loudspeaker so I can hear this man to man talk.
Lethu: “Dad I hope you’re okay. Please take care of
mom because I’m not there I can make her favourite
cup of coffee” Samkelo chuckled.
Samkelo: “I will do my boy”
Lethu: “Hide chocolate muffins because her voice will
be worse when she eats sweet food” Samkelo
laughed and tried not to laugh too much.
Samkelo: “I’m on top of it”
Lethu: “Okay….”
1036 | P a g e
Juju: “Hayi! Lethu you’re wasting my airtime” on the
background.
Lethu: “Bye parents”
Juju: “Hayi suka. Parents please load my airtime”
Me: “Mxm give Lethu the phone I’ll fill your airtime as
always” he laughed.
Lethu: “Sorry I was caught. Good night Mom and Dad”
Us: “Good night baby”
He dropped the call.
Me: “he is an angel”
Samkelo: “He is sweet”
Me: “Always. It in his nature because I thought him
being Elam’s other twin will change him but no
it didn’t”
He sighed.
Samkelo: “Then there is Elamantungwa the diva”
Me: “Mhm. She has own black card thanks to Thando”
Samkelo: “No wonder Elam is like this” he shook his
head.
Me: “She is teaching her to be a drama queen and
throwing unnecessary tantrum”
Samkelo: “I have to deposit another money in that
card. As early as possible”
Me: “She didn’t say goodnight because she wants to
manipulate me face to face when I refuse it
because I’m jealousy of her because she is beautiful
that me and she is unique” he laughed a little.
Samkelo: “Yaz uThando unescefe”
1037 | P a g e
Me: “You don’t know the drama if you have seen her
searching for outfit if we are going out”
Samkelo: “Oh Nkosi yami kazi Thando uyenzeni ingane
yami” I just busted out laughing because he
knows how Thando is and we must live with her
younger version which she is teaching her drama.
There was a knock.
Samkelo: Come in
The old white man was standing with a bag.
Old man: “Axe my man” they shook hands.
Samkelo: “Martinez my man. I’m glad to see you”
The old guy came closer and they shook hands. He
examined him after that he went to the bathroom
with some bottle. He came back and helped Samkelo
to get up and they disappeared there doing lord
knows what. The old man came back alone and he told
me to go and make food for him. I groaned.
I’m tired I need to sleep.
I went to kitchen and took the leftover put the on the
microwave then voila! Haa anginaso iskhath sokuqala
phansi ngipheke. When I was done dishing up I took
the food upstairs and I found in dressing in pyjamas.
Old man: “Take the pills I gave you. They will knock you
up before you touch her” Samkelo chuckled.
Samkelo: “Thanks man I feel better now”
Old man: “You know me”
Samkelo: “Good night man. See you tomorrow”
Old man: “Even if you are chasing me out. Tap that ass”
1038 | P a g e
I gave him a disgusting look. He laughed.
Old man: “You man will sleep after few minutes so
please cuddle him because you two can’t have sex for
two weeks”
They both laughed and the old man left. I don’t know
why he was fooling that old telling him that he might
get any he won’t. I won’t be intimate with him. I went
to take a shower after that I wore his t-shirt and and
panty. When I came out from the closet he wasn’t on
the room so I assumed he went
to sleep in a guestroom at least his mind is still
working. I went to my side of the bed opened
the covers.
I heard someone clearing a throat when I turned it was
him. I quickly took a pillow and I covered myself.
Me: “What?”
Samkelo: “Nothing”
Me: “Okay” I got inside the covers and switched off the
lamp.
I heard the bed moving. He must not test me in the
middle in the night.
Me: “Samkelo yini?”
Samkelo: “Can I hold you”
Me: “You are not supposed to sleep in this bed so
holding me is totally wrong and I don’t want to be hold
by you so please take your pillow and blanket and use
the guestroom”
Samkelo: “Angikwenzi lokho (I’m not doing that)”
1039 | P a g e
Me: “Sorry?”
Him: “You heard me”
Me: “I don’t want to argue with you Samkelo so please
just go”
He sighed.
Him: “Nompendulo tomorrow I will have a longest day
of my life with my family and friends. I know I don’t
deserve to be in this room with you. Can I please have
peace with you in thes few hours left before I face my
family and media. Please”
Me: “Okay” I slept and faced on my side not his.
He sighed.
Samkelo: “Please look at me Nompe”
I groaned.
Me: “You said you want peace Samkelo but I see you
clearly don’t want it because you keep on provoking
me every chance you get”
Samkelo: “Please”
Me: “Angikwenzi lokho” I was still not looking at him
and I felt his hand in my waist.
Me: “Samkelo please leave…” he turned me fast and
now we are breathing the same oxygen.
Samkelo: “I’m fighting it so hard not to fuck the
stubbornness out of you now. Lord knows I’m
trying and you wearing my t-shirt isn’t doing any justice
to me and mhm that thong I want to rip it apart
and fuck you until the sun rises but I won’t do it today
but I promise you I will and I want you to scream
1040 | P a g e
my name that night while I’m going in and out your
pussy. Okay?”
I just looked at him.
Samkelo: “I know you want me as much as I want you
and your thong is wet. I’m glad to see that I still
have that effect on you KaMazibuko”
Oh My! What is this man doing to me? I know I said I
won’t be intimate with him now but hey people
this man is flames his body touch voice still do the
things in me and fuck I’m wet. Nxa! He slept on
his back and pull me to put my head in his chest.
Feeling his skin warmth and listening to his heartbeat
got me thinking about our old time.
Samkelo: “Don’t cry babe. I’m here now and I’m not
going anywhere okay?”
I nodded
--------------------
I don’t know when I fell asleep but I was woken by
someone kissing my forehead I quickly got up and
searched for my gun.
Samkelo: “I took it out because I knew you will react
like this”
Me: “Mxm”
Samkelo: “Go and wash your hands so you can eat your
breakfast” I looked at him first. I thought this was all a
dream but no it’s not. I got up and went to the
bathroom and I washed my face and brushed my teeth.
I went back and I found a bed neatly made and a tray
1041 | P a g e
with a rose on top of it.
I sat down and I started eating I don’t know where he
is. He came out of the closet looking all kinds of sexy.
He is in his black Jordan tracksuits and Jordan 23 and
Jordan cap with. His face is not swollen and bruises are
starting to fade away. He went back to the closet and
came back.
He licked his lips. Oh my god! He took out his phone in
the pocket and typed something and locked and put it
back.
Samkelo: “Maka Juju I was looking for car keys but I
can’t find them” he was talking but I wasn’t
paying attention it was like he came out of magazine
photoshoot and the way he was posing and
standing was hot.
Samkelo: “MaKa Juju stop undressing me hawu” I
looked at him and he was in stitches.
Me: “What are you laughing at?”
Samkelo: “Stop drooling”
Me: “No I’m not”
Samkelo: “Okay keep telling yourself that”
I gave him a look.
Me: “What you were saying?” he laughed
Samkelo: “And you said you wasn’t drooling. I said I
was looking for car keys but I can’t find them”
Me: “Let me take them for you. I hide them because
we have teenagers in this house and them knowing
how to drive is something else”
1042 | P a g e
I went past him and went to the closet I took out two
new underwear box and gave them to him.
Samkelo: “And then?”
Me: “The keys are there. Your boys hate penties so
that’s why I hid those keys there and please don’t tell
them my secret” he laughed
Him: “You know what you something else I tell you” he
took the keys he wanted and went back to
put underwear box back.
He came to me and we both ate my breakfast. He
looked at me and laughed.
Me: “Why are you laughing”
Him: “There is something in your face but I don’t want
to wipe it because you look cute with it”
I wiped my faced and it cause him to laugh even more.
Me: “Mxm!” I tried to reach for my phone but he
reached it first.
Him: “Ask me to wipe it off for you”
Me: “So you can laugh at me. No”
Him: “Don’t move”
He came close to me as in close. I closed my eyes
because I didn’t to look at him this closely. I felt
his tounge at the corner of my mouth. I was
impantiently waiting for him to finish so I can breathe.
Him: “Stop moaning”
I opened my eyes and he was still too close and I closed
them quickly and he laughed. He kissed my forehead
and he looked at me.
1043 | P a g e
Him: “I know you dying but I need few days to be
cleanse and all that so I can be with you fully okay”
I found myself nodding. I don’t know whether the
correct name is fool or idiot but between those two
I deserve to be called by them.
Him: “I’m still your handsome husband the father of
your kids” is he reading minds no or what?
I half smiled. He got up and bend he kissed my
forehead and cheek then he left. I finished eating
my breakfast. I went to take a shower I need to go and
see my grandkids. Things have been hectic and I don’t
want Sihe to feel alone.
I wore my pink chiffon skirt and black t-shirt which was
tucked in I wrapped my head and wore my floppies.
I’m using Mercedes GLD today I feel like happy. I’m in
high spirit. I drove to Umhlanga and to my annoyance
these idiots were following me. Nxa!
I got inside the house likely they were back from
school. I found Juju carrying one of the twins.
Me: “Ncaapona njee muntu kaGogo wakhe nzeena”
He smiled. He gave him to me.
Him: “Don’t drop him”

Chapter 52

Me: “Mxm! Don’t excersice your parenting skills on me

my boy. Count your siblings and include yourself. I have
1044 | P a g e
a lot of experience than you”
I sticked my tounge out at him. He laughed.
Him: “You look different or it’s my eyes?”
I sat down with my grandchild. Samkelo with his
genes.
Juju: “Dad has strong genes”
Me: “I’m just thinking that. You’ll that think my baby”
Juju: “Let’s hope you not planning on having a baby
no.7”
Sma: “I hope so too bra” he said joining us with Sihle
Sihle: “She is too old for that. Her age is not good to
have a newborn plus we are too many we have
three big heads making noise that can last us a lifetime
so nje mom please don’t”
I laughed
Me: “I’m not having a baby. The triplets were the last
ones”
They nodded.
Me: “is Sihe sleeping?”
Juju: “She will be here now”
Sma: “Oh there she is” she is holding the other twin.
Me: “Hey babe. I’m sorry for not being here. It just that
things are upside down but I’m not neglecting
you and my grandkids okay?”
Sihe: “I understand mom. I have two nannies who are
helping me with everything and I’m catching up
on my schoolwork”
Me: “I have to thank MaNdlovu”
1045 | P a g e
Sihe: “She is also helping with twins” I smiled at she
loves her grandchildren and great-great children.
I spent the whole day with my kids and I bonded with
my grandkids. They are and adorable. Sukoluhle
is a crying baby while Sqalo is an angel. I think we have
another Sihle in Sukoluhle.
I went home after leaving them at Mntungwa’s house.
I can’t take them with me. That house is a war
zone so I can’t and I don’t want them to see their
father that bruised. When I got house I found Kat
and the guys drinking.
Me: “Can I have a glass please?”
Spiro: “Coming right up”
Andile: “I need to ask you a question before I see that
motherfucker”
Me: “Okay...”
Andile: “Did you knew that he was alive?”
Me: “I thought you know me better to answer your
question NO I didn’t knew and he knew that I was
going to say no this madness. My kids are hurt
confused and angry so I didn’t know about it”
Kat: “I could still hear your painful cries when we came
to tell you the bad news so I knew you didn’t”
Spikes: “So what now?”
Me: “I don’t know but this shit is too deep and
complicated now because he is a leader of Cuban
Cartel
that is why these fools are here” I said pointing his
1046 | P a g e
bodyguards.
Spikes: “Fuck!”
Kat Sighed.
Kat: “I can’t think. I drank a lot and fucked my wife
trying to realise some stress but nothing I just can’t.
if he wasn’t my father’s son I would have killed now
and feed his flesh on my dogs”
Andile: “I need to kick his balls”
Spikes: “One bullet nje on his thigh will be enough for
me”
TK: “Nxa I want to beat him up”
I poured another whiskey and gulped it on one go.
Me: “Life neh. One minute you’re a widow the next
minute the husband is alive”
Kat: “I can’t believe I’m sharing parents with him nxa”
Samkelo: “Being a father and a husband is the most
wonderful thing that I have experienced in my life
even though it comes with challenges but it every
man’s dream to have a family. As a man you must
love and protect. My wife lost one of quadruplets she
was broken so I couldn’t let them take my wife
and operate her and let them take my kids out of the
country just like that. I did the only thing that I
was supposed to do. What I did was wrong yes I agree
but I couldn’t let hurt my family like that”
We are now looking at him.
Samkelo: “I know everyone is angry at me and you
have every right to be angry but I wish someone
1047 | P a g e
can understand where I’m coming from”
TK: “What you did man was wrong I won’t lie to you
and I hate you for it but I understand that you
wanted your kids to live” he nodded.
We all turned to look at TK. He wanted to beat the hell
out of him but now he understands. Okay.
Kat: “Shut up TK you don’t know what to say”
TK: “We all vowed to take care love and protect our
families. Samkelo just did that seven years ago.
Even though he chose bad choice of doing it but the
triplets are alive so we must be grateful for that”
Kat just gave him a deadly stare.
Samkelo: “There is a war coming up. KG’s wife is
coming for her twin being Nompe. KG is pushing her
to cause conflict and he have a grudge with my wife”
Kat: “The Gang will take of it so relax”
Samkelo: “I know that Grootman but KG’s wife is a
leader of a cartel so we need to up the Gangs skill
so that they can be able to pull this off”
Kat: “What are you implying?”
Andile: “Kat we need every skill to deal with KG for
once and for all”
Kat sighed.
Kat: “Yeah whatever”
My phone rang and Mom flashed on my phone. I’m not
in the mood to answer her calls. I left it ringing.
Kat’s phone rang and he went to answer it.
Andile: “So Mr Ghost what are your suggestions on this
1048 | P a g e
upcoming war?”
Spikes laughed and Spiro joined in. Samkelo chuckled.
Kat came back.
Kat: “The family is coming here for the obvious reason”
Me: “Eish I’m not in the mood of them”
Kat: “Unfortunately for you the Khumalos’ are on their
way here including MaKhumalo” Oh God. She
must not piss me today.
Me: “Let me order the food for them”
I went to kitchen and I ordered food.
Spiro: “I know this is hard for you but things will work
out. You look different” I lifted my eyes to look
at him.
Spikes: “I hope you not pregnant” he had a weird look
on his face. I took a cloth and I threw it at him.
He laughed and I joined him.
Spiro: “I can see Axe still has effect on you even after
spending 7 years apart”
Me: “Oh shut up!”
He laughed.
Andile went to open the gate. My kitchen is an open
plan kitchen so I can see everything happening.
He came back with Thami.
Thami: “Mrs Khumalo”
Me: “Why are you this nice? What do you want?”
Thami: “Am I that bad?”
Me: “Just say it already”
Thami: “Firstly I’m hungry then the other can follow”
1049 | P a g e
Me: “Go and pay lobola we are tired of you always
wanting food”
Thami: “Mxm”
Samkelo came to the kitchen.
Thami: “Axe. Haah wena you deserve a medal. I’m sure
you were busy fucking everything that has a
whole between its leg wherever you were. If you are
coming back with another child I’ll help your
wife to kill you”
Samkelo shook his head and opened the fridge and
took a bottle water.
Thami: “So how are the Cuban pussies compared to the
African pussies?” he even squinted his eyes
TK: “You will never be okay here” he said to Thami
point at his head.
Andile and Kat came to join us in the kitchen.
Kat: “You always talking about pussy? You don’t get
bored?” he said looking at Thami.
Thami: “That’s why I’m not getting married because I
will be tied with one pussy for the rest of my
fucken life”
Andile hit him at back of his head.
Thami: “Ouch!”
Andile: “At least you can feel pain”
We laughed. Minutes later I was told my family is here.
I went to my bedroom and change shoes to
something comfortable. I went back to the kitchen. I
heard MaNdlovu painful sobs and.
1050 | P a g e
MaKhumalo: “Kodwa mtaka bhuti manyala mani lawa”
To my surprise my parents are here too. I have seen
them after discovering the truthk about my twin
sister. The time I saw them the angry raised up. How
come they could lie to me in such a way.
Mom: “My baby” she gave me a faint smile I returned
the same.
Grandma came to me and hugged me tightly and that
alone made me to cry. I was crying because I’m
angry at discovering the truth seeing that my husband
is back and everything that is going in my life.
When I was calm we all went to the dining room.
Mntungwa: “Thanks for everyone who came in such a
short notice. As a parent I’m a disappointed in
my son for shame he causes of faking his own death
leaving his family behind. To the Mazubuko family
I’m apologising in behalf of the Khumalo family and as
the father to Samkelo for the pained he caused
for your daughter and for living her and the kids to lord
knows where”
MaNdlovu: “As Mntungwa has said we are very sorry.
We didn’t about this stupid plan of his. We are
deeply sorry”
MaKhumalo: “Makoti let’s hope you not behind this”
Mom: “Why my daughter is always wrong in your
eyes?”
Mntungwa: “MaKhumalo I’m not in the mood so
please apologise for what you’ve just said now”
1051 | P a g e
Silence
Mntungwa: “MaKhumalo!” he roared.
MaKhumalo: “I’m sorry”
Mntungwa: “To every one of you here I want you to
listen to me and listen to me carefully.
KaMazibuko has been through a lot so if someone here
wants to pick up with her he/she must face
me or else consequences will be very harsh and I mean
it”
Silence
Mntungwa: “Samkelo?”
He cleared his throat
Samkelo: “I would like to apologise to the family for
faking my own death but I was forced to do that to
protect my kids. I would like to apologise again to my
wife for the pain I’ve caused her”
I nodded.
Mntungwa: “Tomorrow we going to Weenen to
Samkelo and Makoti’s cleansing”.
After the meeting I went to the kitchen luckily the guys
here helped. With the help we served the
elders and I went to the kitchen to eat.
Mom: “We need to talk Nompe”
Me: “Mom can we please talk some other time?”
Mom: “It’s important that we talk now”
Me: “I know that I have a long-lost twin and I wasn’t
told about it. I know she was stolen bu don’t you
think I deserved to know? I’m sure you happy that she
1052 | P a g e
is back” she was crying.
Mom: “My baby it’s not like that. I need to tell you
what happened”
Me: “Mom with all due respect. There is a lot going on
in my life. I’m recovering from shock I had when
I saw Samkelo. I’m processing the truth I just found out
about your other daughter and how I was fool
all these years. So Mom please I need to rest and get
ready for tomorrow’s trip. Can we do this other
time?”
She nodded and wiped her tears. She left me in the
kitchen. I took few spoons and I went to my
bedroom luckily I left Samkelo with the family
downstairs. I kept thinking about the drama in my life.
I was woken by someone who shook me gentle. It was
Samkelo with the tray in next to him. I have
headache. I got up from bed and I went to the
bathroom to wash my hands and face.
Him: “Come and eat”
I went to bed and he patted a space next to him. I sat
next to tray and it was between us. I heard my
stomach grumbling.
Samkelo: “Please eat” he gave me my plate.
Me: “I hope there’s no poison in this food” he laughed
Samkelo: “I would never do that. If I do who will give
birth to my last born” my eyes popped out and I
even choked on my food. He poured the juice that was
in the tray and gave it to him.
1053 | P a g e
When I was okay. He laughed at me.
Samkelo: “I was joking”
Me: “Vele you are joking. I don’t need a baby I have
enough and who said I will be intimate with you?”
He laughed again.
Samkelo: “I know that you’re drooling over me and
that you want me”
Me: “Don’t flirt yourself” he smirked.
Samkelo: “Please eat”
After I was done eating he took the dishes to the
kitchen and I went to take a shower. When I got out
I lotioned and went to the closet butt naked luckily he
wasn’t in the room. I took his t-shirt and black lace
thong I wore and went back to bed got in the covers. I
took my phone on the side table and it was off I
charged it. A while later the door opened and he came
in talking over the phone.
He sat on the bed and wrapped his conversation after
he dropped the call. He brushed his face out of
confusion.
Me: “What is it?”
Samkelo: “it’s business”
Me: “Mhm okay”
He got up and we looked at each other. He unzipped
his tracksuit jacket and took it off. It was followed
by the pant I gasped. He chuckled and shook his head.
He took off his vest and was now left with Calvin
Klien boxer. His bulge people can someone get me
1054 | P a g e
water this man is too hot. I want to jump on him.
Samkelo: “Stop perving” he was grinning like fool. Nxa!
Me: “ME perving on you?” I’m trying to be strong but
the truth is I want him as in now.
He bent to me and he came close as in like breathing
the same the same air. Our foreheads touched.
I closed my eyes. And his cologne is not doing any
justice because it’s still my favourite.
Samkelo: “Tell me that I’m not hot and you not wet
right now” I bit my lower lip trying to moan.
Silence
Samkelo: “Can we please hold ourselves at least for
tomorrow’s cleansing then after that all of this is
yours”
I nodded while my eyes still closed.
Samkelo: “Let me hit shower so that we can sleep. We
have to be up early to get ready for Weenen”
Me: “Shit. I totally forgot” I got up and went to start
packing.
He went to take a shower and when he was done I was
about to finish.
Samkelo: “I thought I’ll pack for myself” he sat on the
chair.
Me: “You’ll need tracksuits so stop the drama. You can
take sneakers”
Samkelo: “I think Jordan will be comfortable”
Me: “I’ve packed your Jordan tracksuit and t-shirt. You
and your children should be Jordan
1055 | P a g e
ambassoders. Yho!”
He laughed.
Samkelo: “Mxm. I find it comfortable and cute”
Me: “And expensive”
Samkelo: “It’s not expensive. Yeka idrama”
Me: “It is and let’s go and sleep”
We got inside the covers. He pulled me to his chest and
I slept almost emediately. I was woken by
him.
Me: “Mhh”
Samkelo: “Come on get up we have to leave in an
hour”
I groaned and woke up. These days I’m a deep sleeper I
don’t know why. Mxm I bathe and wore a long
red dress and I wrapped black doek and sleepers. I
need to be comfortable. I didn’t apply any make
up I wasn’t in the mood and it’s too early for a
makeup.
Samkelo: “You look beautiful”
Me: “Thanks”
I assumed he took the bags to the car because I don’t
see them here. I took my handbag; phone and
a charger then went to the car and then we left.
Me: “So you have a chauffeur now?”
Samkelo: “No”
Mxm.
When we got to Weenen a cleansing was done. Elders
were angry at him but he didn’t care about
1056 | P a g e
them because he was smiling and laughing but deep
down I know he wants to roll his eyes. Now we’re
on our way to Durban. His phone rings.
Samkelo: “Mntungwa”
He laughed
Samkelo: “Please keep them for few days until we
fetch them”
He laughed
Samkelo: “Euuw!”
He laughed again and thanked him after he dropped
the call. He looked at his phone and chuckled.
Samkelo: “Are you good?”
Me: “I’m good”
The car drove inside the gate of our house.
Samkelo: “I hope you’re hungry”
Me: “And tired I need a long shower and eat then
sleep”
Samkelo: “Was Aunty MaKhumalo ordering you
around?”
We walked to the house.
Me: “As always”
Samkelo: “I’m getting tired of that one”
Me: “Haah mxm I’m used to her know. But she knows
where to get off”
He looked at me surprised. I left him there and I went
to take a long shower. When I was done I went
to the kitchen I’m hungry. The light in downstairs was
dimmed… okay when I was.
1057 | P a g e
Samkelo: “I’m here”
I turned to look at him. The dinner was set up. There
were candles around the tables roses on the on
the floor. He was coming towards me. It all came back
the last romantic night I planned for us was the time I
found out about…
I felt a lump on my throat and a sob escaped my
mouth. He rushed to me and he picked me up in a
bridal style and we went to our room and he gently laid
me on the bed with him.
Samkelo: “Shh babe. I’m sorry” he kept hushing me
until I was calm roses on the on
the floor. He was coming towards me. It all came back
the last romantic night I planned for us was the time I
found out about…
I felt a lump on my throat and a sob escaped my
mouth. He rushed to me and he picked me up in a
bridal style and we went to our room and he gently laid
me on the bed with him.
Samkelo: “Shh babe. I’m sorry” he kept hushing me
until I was calm and I was left with hiccups.
He wiped my face.
Samkelo: “I’m sorry my love it won’t happen again I’m
sorry”
Me: “It… All came. back”
Samkelo: “Shhh. It’s okay babe. It okay”
When I was calmed I went to the bathroom and I was
my face and went back to bed.
1058 | P a g e
Samkelo: “Please change your pj top” he handed me
his t-shirt. I gave him a look. I changed the pj top
and sat on bed and he came and sat next to me.
Me: “I’m sorry about what happened. It just that it
flashed back the last romantic I planned for us
when you were.”
He roughly rubbed his head. He closed his eyes and
exhaled out loud.
Samkelo: “I’m so sorry babe. It won’t happen again
okay?”
I nodded. He pulled me in his chest. We sat on that
position and we were both quite maybe about 20
minutes.
Samkelo: “Let me go and take the food at least” I
pulled out in his chest and he got up and went to
fetch us food
He came back and we ate. He kept stilling glances at
me but I didn’t pay attention to it. When we
were done he took the dishes out and I got inside the
covers. I thought he was coming back but he
took long and I fell asleep.
Samkelo
Seeing her crying like that broke my heart. When were
done eating I took the dishes to the kitchen. I
looked around. I went to the cellar and took out a
whiskey and a glass. I poured a glass and drank it in
a one goes and poured another glass and drank it also
in a one go.
1059 | P a g e
Lopez: “Sorry boss it didn’t go as planned”
Me: “It’s okay man. It will take time and I’m willing to
wait for her. Come and sit”
He took a glass and poured himself a drink. We sat
some time. I looked at time.
Me: “Eish. I think she is asleep now. Let me leave you
man”
When I got to the bedroom she was sleeping. I took a
shower and I lotioned and after that that I put
a boxer on. I got inside the covers and snuggled her.
She turned and faced another direction. Her ass
was on my dick. She is warm and I got hard. I kissed her
on the neck while my hand was on her ass
brushing and squeezing. I left her ass and went to her
boobs squeezed them and I heard a softy moan.
My hand down under her panty. I pulled my hand out
and turned her to face me. Her eyes were still
closed.
Me: “Please open your eyes” she opened them slowly.
I got on top of her.
The kiss started slowly and it got tense. Both of us
didn’t want to stop. Finally I broke the kiss and we
stared at each other. My hand brushed her thigh.
Me: “After all these years your still beautiful and sexy
as fuck”
She blushed. I pecked her lips.
couldn’t stop to admire her beauty. I took off my t-
shirt on her body and I took off her thong. This
1060 | P a g e
woman here is doing thigs on me. She helped me to
take off my boxer. I got on top of her again. The
warmth of her skin against me was like a dream to me.
I kissed her again my hands were all over and
hers were caressing my back. I’m already hard as fuck. I
rubbed the tip of my dick in her clit and I was
looking at her all this time. I kept teasing her and when
she couldn’t hold it anymore inserted myself
at the first try she flinched in pain and I kissed her. I
pushed and finally my dick was buried inside of
her. The place where it belongs.
Me: “Mhhh babe you’re so tight. Thank you”
I started moving slowly and I picked up the pace. She
was screaming my name. I fucked through her
multiple orgasm. I collapsed on top of her and we were
sweaty. After catching our breaths I went to
the prepare bath of us.
Me: “Come let’s go”
Silence. Don’t tell me she is sleeping. I shook her.
Her: “Mhhh” she groaned.
I picked her up because I knew we would argue until
the sun set. We had a steamy session in a shower
and we continued to the bathroom. We slept in the
early hours of the morning.
------------
In the morning I went to make breakfast for us and
when I was done I took breakfast to her. After
breakfast we have another round. Her head is on my
1061 | P a g e
chest as we are catching our breath.
Her: “I’m not having sex in the next two weeks”
Me: “Haaah why?”
Her: “Because I’m sore down there”
Me: “Haa babe I will kiss it better don’t worry”
Her: “Nope”
I chuckled. I don’t blame her though we had so many
rough so I’ll let her rest.
Her: “I need to get morning after pill”
I chuckled.
Me: “Okay bbe. You’ll get it today.”
Her: “I can’t have another child. I’m a grandmother
now so having a kid that is same age as my
grandchild and they give me enough headache as it is
so nje”
I smiled.
What she doesn’t know it I did vasectomy in Cuba. I
have six kids as it is I couldn’t have another kid out my
marriage and it would have broken her that I have
another child or children outside. I would tell Martinez
to hook me up with Morning after just to make her
happy. I will discuss this matter when the time is right.
We took another shower and she wore my Gucci shirt
with no panty. I’m in my boxer. We are watching a
movie.
Me: “I’m hungry. Let’s go and fix something to eat”
We went to kitchen. She was standing looking at me. I
kept stilling kisses here and there. I miss this
1062 | P a g e
us being together doing our thing. When I was done
she helped me to dish up. I held her on her waist
and pulled her close to me.
Me: “I love you so much”
Her: “I love you too”
We kissed. She was starting to moan softly when we
heard
“Euwww!” we quickly broke the kiss and we looked at
the direction where the voice came from. It was
Nka with a disgusted look on his face.
Nompe: “Ncoooah my baby”
They all came to the kitchen. When Juju Sma and Sihle
saw their father half naked in the kitchen
making food and their eyes shifted to me then they
looked at each then they laughed.
Elam: “What is funny when the princess isn’t here?”
Sma: “It called None of your business Princess”
Elam: “Mom did you hear him what he said to me?”
I sighed. I missed my babies. This house is boring
without them.
Samkelo: “Kids breakfast will be ready in few minutes”
Juju Sma and Sihle laughed and left followed by the
other three.
Me: “Let’s go and wear something appropriate and
then come back”
He switched off the stove and he took my hand and we
went upstairs. We changed.
Him: “My boys have grown”
1063 | P a g e
 I looked at him.
Him: “Do you think they know that we had sex?” I
laughed.
Me: “Of course Juju has kids now they know what is
going on”
He shook his head. After we were done we went
downstairs and we ate as a family. He helped me to
clear the table.
Samkelo: “Kids I’m sorry about being half naked in the
kitchen” the older boys laughed and nodded.
Juju: “No Problem. At least you were not naked” Sihle
laughed
Me: “Okay kids. We’re sorry and lets us please forget
about it”
Sihle’s phone vibrated and he looked at it.
Sihle: “Excuse me family” he went upstairs.
Me: “What is he up too?”
Juju: “I don’t know mommy”
Me: “Okay”
They went to their rooms and other went to the
cinema room.
Samkelo: “Babe I’m going up stairs I’ll be back”
Since I was chilling I thought I must go and look around
Sihle’s bedroom. That child is something else
he is naughty so that’s why I need to check up him
every now and then. When I passed Elam’s room

left her. When I was approaching Sihle’s bedroom the
door was slightly opened…
Sma: “Dad what you did broke us as your kids and the
family especially mom”
Juju: “She was broken but she wanted to be strong for
us”
Samkelo: “Boys I’m sorry and I’ll always be sorry for
going away for such a long time”
Sihle: “I didn’t understand at first and I was angry at
you after you came back but after the birth of my
nephews I knew that I’ll always love them and protect
them at any cost”
Samkelo: “I love you all as my kids. Everything that I’ve
done after you were born was to love and
protect including your mother”
Juju: “So Dad I’ll like to get something after my matric”
Sihle: “Mom won’t agree to that”
Samkelo: “To what?”
Sma: “He wants Porsche as a gift after matric”
Sihle: “What do you say Dad?”
Samkelo: “Eish that would like to be a bit problem but I
will try to convince her but I don’t promise
you anything”
Sihle: “Your wife is stubborn”
They laughed.
Sma: “Where did you get her?”
Samkelo: “ *Laughing* Please leave my wife alone”
Juju: “She is so stingy as if she doesn’t afford”

Sma: “I won’t let you misuse my husband’s money” he
mimicked my voice. I shook my head
Juju: “Dad please make her understand that I need that
car. Even if you need to be left just the two of
you I’ll take them to Umhlanga”
Sma and Sihle laughed.
Juju: “Ouchh!”
Samkelo: “That what’s happen when you are speaking
dirty things with your mouth”
They laughed.
Samkelo: “Sma Sihle I am Grandfather already I don’t
need other grandchildren for now until you finish
school okay?”
They laughed.
Samkelo: “Wena Juju I’ll buy you condoms because I
see by the time you finish varsity; we’ll have many
kids running around” they laughed again.
Juju: “In few days you’ll meet them because they are
coming home”
Samkelo: “That would be nice”
I was tired to stand at the door. I decided to open the
door.
Sihle: “Who opens the door without knocking”
Me: “It’s the owner of the house baby”
They looked at each and they were talking with eyes.
Me: “Can we go out for lunch?”
Juju: “Eish Oledy Sihe is coming back today”
Me: “I thought she will stay at Umhlanga for few days”

Juju: “it was supposed to be like but I need them here
with me mom”
Me: “Okay baby. We need to fetch them or they will
bring them here”
Juju: “They will bring them here”
Samkelo: “let’s go and fix their beds”
Juju: “Everything is in order Dad”
Me: “Okay. Let me go and order in lunch”
I left them there. Juju is fooling himself there is no
Porsche he will get here. I won’t do that he must
forget that. I have many cars here and he’ll be drive to
and from school so there’s no Porsche he will
get. Sometimes I need to put my foot down for them to
learn that they need to work hard to get something not
that we have money they must get anything they like
even if there’s no need for it. As
a parent there are things that I must do for them like
education and other things but buying a car is not
necessary so No car.
I order in the lunch as I’ve said and after an hour later
Sihe was here with her boys. My mother in law didn’t
stay she was in a rush and we let her be. Samkelo
couldn’t put them down.
Elam: “Dad let me carry the other one”
Juju: “Dad please don’t give her”
Elam: “Why am I not supposed to carry them? Mom
please talk to Juju”
Samkelo laughed.

Me: “Princess babies are still young and fragile and you
must know how to carry them or else you’ll their
necks”
She looked confused. I went to take another baby to
Samkelo
Sihe: “Yeah it’s like that sweetheart but as the time
goes on it you’ll be able to carry them”
To see my family together is a blessing to me. I’ve
never been happy in my life to have man who loves
me and my kids and blessed with grandkids. The return
of my husband is a blessing to me even.
I heard something falling hard. When I turned to look
at it…
Voice: “La Familia”
I got up carrying my grandkid with me. This person
here is my duplicate. Kids got confused.
Juju: “Mom… what is going on?” his voice was
breaking.
Samkelo: “Put the gun down now!”
I heard three bullets going off and l was still standing. I
saw blood in the blanket of the…
