X:"don't be sorry, apologise to your father bro, you need him...all this money means nothing when you dont have a bond with your family, take it from me, my life was really empty before i met you, i missed my dad and Xolile, that’s why i was always with different girls everyday and partying non stop, i wanted to make myself feel better.....now that i have a brother....i mean you.....i am hoping that my dad will also come back to our lives again" he closed his eyes and continued "i wanna meet your dad" and he started sobbing. I couldn't believe it, Xolani was crying. Ndopfa ndodada ndisa divhi uri ndiri mini, i mean what do you do when things are like this, do you hug him? but it didn’t feel right to hug a guy. I moved closer to him nda swika ndadzula ndapfuna tshisenga phanda hawe

Me:"Xolani....." i breathed, ndopfa ndo fhelelwa nga maipfi, i continued "i am sorry about your dad and Xolile" ndodovha nda femela ntha, this was hard for me

X:"i don’t want you to be Sorry Thembu, i want you to get the f**k up and apologise to your f***ing dad owk? just do that"

ori uralo a takuwa aya kamarani yawe a hanzhamedza vothi a dzhena. Nne ndosala ndodzula ndo mangala, what the hell just happened? Xolani had serious issues, i thought he only had issues with his brother who passed away but he also had some daddy issues as well. He missed his father, like he really needed him, this was the boy who was 20 years old and was stinky rich but felt empty because he didn’t have a fatherly love. This was painful, but our situations were different, he couldn’t expect me to forgive my dad and play happy family after everything he had put us through. Xolani khotsi awe ovha asa vha vhengi, he just hated the fact that he left them and never came back, deep inside he loved him and he wanted him back....well with me it was a different thing, i hated my dad, havhala munna vhatouvha livhanda, as much as i would love to forgive him, fhedziha thidivhi uri ndizwi thome ngagai.

Ndo takuwa ndaya kamarani ya Xolani, ndo lingedza u vula vothi fhedziha lovha lo khiiwa

Me:"Xolani please open up" tsu!

Me:"Xolani please" another silence.....so Xolani was really angry? Ndopfa uri ndikhwine umufha tshifhinga tshau humbula nyana nauri a fholise muya. Ndoya kamarani u founela Tshililo

Tshili:"hubby"

Me:"wifey, uri mini fhedzi?"

Tshili:"ndotakalesa bbe ene?"

Me:"eish ndotou lwa na Xolani mani ene....uhm ndingasiri rolwa but o nkwatela"

Tshili:"bbe Xolani a kwata? It doesn't make sense, ene otou muitani?" ndopfa uri thi khou toda engedzela nana wanga stress nga mafhungo anga na Xolani

Me:"nahh its nothing serious bbe"

Tshili:"nahh bbe zwi serious, Xolani asi muthu wau kwata ai"

Me:"well khezwo namusi zwoitea"

Tshili:"and you don't wanna tell me what happened?"

Me:"bbe you have enough to worry about, i don't wanna stress you.....and owww speaking of which, hupfi ri khou malana nga linyanya or nga kunyanya?" i asked laughing

Tshili:"kunyanya"

Me:"bbe why?"

Tshili:"bbe please , we can’t be throwing the mother of all weddings and plus we can have a big party when we celebrate our five or 10 years anniversary"

Me:"owk if that's what you want bbe rido ita zwezwo neh"

Tshili:"and you are everything to me"

Me:"ndia mufuna neh"

tshililo:"love you too"

Me:"bye nana"

Tshili:"bye daddy" i smiled and dropped the call, nwana hoyu ovha a khou ntanganya thoho nne, ndovha ndi tshi khou mufuna. Ndotuwa ndaya rumuni ya Xolani nda khokhonya futhi

Me:"Xolani mfowethu"

X:"go away Thembu"

Me:"Xolani please open so that we can talk"

X:"i dont wanna talk" owk this was a first, Xolani had real issues and ndovha ndi tshi nga takalela u dzula nae radzi discusser maybe i could try and help him. Ndovha ndi khou borea so ndo decider uya u vhona houla nwana Sharon uitela uri ndi muvhudze uri nne na Tshili ri khou malana, ndovhona uri zwingasivhe zwavhudi uri apfe mafhungo nga ndila. Ndoya ndaima munangoni nda vhudza Xolani uri i am going out and i will be back in a while.

Ndobva nga goloi, ndovha ndo langana na Sharon uri a nndindele ngahangei badani. Ndo swika nda mulindela, o mbo di bvelela nwana wavhathu. I dont know what she was trying to achieve but ovha orwa nga kurukhu kwa shorty na vest na All-Star, oda a dzhena kha seat ya phanda.

Me:"Sharon kha ntsedze" she looked up at me

Sharon:"congrats Thembu i am happy for you"

Me:"you don't look happy"

Sharon:"i am and ow i also have news to tell you"

Me:"what is it?"

Sharon"i have met someone" she had a faint smile on her face

Me:"you are kidding me right? I thought you were taking a break" i dont understand why but the thought that Sharon might be dating someone freaked me the hell out

Sharon:"no i am not, Dzina lawe ndi Khakhathi but vhathu vha muvhidza uri Sdumo" she smiled shyly at me. Ndo vula mulomo wanga nda balelwa u u vala. Ndovha ndi khou lingedza u humbula uri hafhu Sdumo ndi nnyi, and then it hit me, the guy at the club

Me:"ndi Sdumo wa gai?"

Sharon:"u dzhena hafho Univen but ubva-" she didnt finish her sentence ngauri nne ndo mbo di dzhenelela

Me:"you are not gonna date that dumb ass, no F***en ways"

Sharon:'you are kidding me right?"

Me:"no i am very much serious" you know there are those girls that you know that you can’t possibly date nga nthani ha zwiitisi but you still care about them, infact you want them to stay single because you can’t bear the thought of someone else with them, it was the case with Sharon. Nne ndovha ndi tshi touvha na vhutanzi ho fhelelaho uri ndingasi diwane ndi tshi khou pfana nae fhedziha i felt protective of her, like ndopfa uri ahuna authi ino tea u funana nae, maybe someone ane nda mudivha uri u muthu wa vhudi but obvious case ndi yauri houla Sdumo nne ndovha ndi tshi mudivha and he was a bad guy

Sharon:"you've just dropped a bomb about you getting married and now you are going to stop me from dating? Hangwani hezwo"

Me:"u khou zwipfa ngandila isi yone Sharon, asizwine nda khou amba zwone nne, hoyo Sdumo ndia mudivha and he is not a good guy"

Sharon:"oww yeah so you think he is also gonna sleep with me and dump me for the love of his life huh?"

Me:"asi zwine nda khou amba zwone Sharon, sorry nga maanda and if you feel that you love him then i will back off" she rolled her house

Me:"our friendship means something and i don't want to ruin it"

Sharon:"me too"

Me:"so we are good?"

Sharon:"yeah and congrats zwa serious nga mbingano"

Me:"thanks"

Nne na Sharon rovha ri tshe dzithama naho Tshililo ovha asa divhi tshithu ngazwo, ndovhona uri zwi nga tou nana umufha mutsiko given the condition that she was in. Teressa ndovha ndi sa athu dovha nda tangana nae which was a good thing on my side. Mushumo wone wovha u khouya phanda and we were still getting paid weekly, na business dzovha dzi khou tshimbila zwavhudi so tshilede yovha i tshi touvha zwone zwithu zwau fhedzisela zwine nne ndovha ndi tshi nga stresser ngazwo. Khotsi anga ndovha ndisaathu amba navho and i had no internsions of doing so, vhovha vha tshi vhonala na vhone vhatshinga vhana thoni dza u vhona uri we were doing just fine in life without him, Rendani na Thendo vhone vhovha vha tshi ita vha tshi vhadalela and nne ndovha ndisina thaidzo nazwo hezwo.

Nne na Tshililo na Sihle roya radala ha Xolani just after the exams nga December before vhana vhatshida udala. Zwovha zwi zwavhudi nga maanda to finally meet Xolani’s family naho miawe ndovha ndi tshi vho vhadivha. Ndovha ndi interested badi nau vhona tshinepe tsha khotsi a Xolani but i didn’t find any photho of him in the house. And oww before i forget, ha Xolani honaka, hafho mudini hu tounga mudi wa linwe li millionare helo and his mom was driving an Audi Q7, i know its hard to belive but its true, he said he didn't want a big car for himself ngauri u tshe tshikoloni and zwinga mudzhenisela mato and as for me ndovha ndi khadi reila honokula ku ford kwanga, ndovha ndi khou humbula uri maybe ndinga upgrader zwezwino sa izwi hu tshi khouda uvha na kuThembu and we will need a family car. Tshinwe tshenda toda u hangwa ndi tshauri nne na Tshili rovha ri khouya uvha na nwana wa mutukana, yipeeeee, ndovha ndi tshi khou toda nwana wa musidzana but mutukana was even better.

February was my birthday month and i would be turning 21 yipeeeee, its just a pity because i felt like i was 30, with everything i had gone through, 21 didn't seem to suit me. Tshililo tshovha tshi tshi khou fara 21 nga April, mhm at least KuThembu kudovha kono bebiwa so we might throw her a birthday bash, i smiled at the thought.

Zwi a Penga - Insert 98

I stopped mid air before mulomo wanga u tshi swika khae. I thought of my wedding day, my vows to Tshililo, i promised to love her and to put her happiness first, i thought of KuThembu, my first born, ndopfa uri ndingasi kone u vhaisa Tshili wanga nga hei ndila, houla nwana ono tangana na zwinzhi nga nthani hanga and right now she was probably sleeping in our bedroom, on our big king sized bed all alone while i do this, ndo mbo di litshedza Sharon nda imisa zwanda zwanga muyani as if to stop her

Me:"look at my finger Sharon, i am married owk, and married guys dont do this" i waved my hands infront of her "udo mpfarela but it wont be fair on either of us for me to do this, it wont be fair to Tshili and my child or to you"

Sharon:"Thembuluwo lets just do this once, just tonight"

Me:"i am sorry Sharon, go back to the party, go dance with any other guy you wanna dance with or date whoever you want, i will stay out of your life, i dont wanna hurt you"

Shaz:"you won’t hurt me, i know you are a good guy" i let out a fake laugh

Me:"i wont be a good guy anymore if i do this with you, i am sorry, and right now i am not even sure if we can still be friends anymore, kha mpfarele" and i walked to my car. Sharon o sokou sala o ima henefho o mangala ndo swika nda sendela Xolani message

"i am sorry about tonight, i know you are disappointed in me, i am disappointed in myself too. I am not coming back to the hall, i am driving back home to my wife" i pressed send and strated the car. The time was past 12 mid night and ndovha ndi tshi touvha na vhutanzi uri Tshililo ovha ono edela.

Ndo swika hayani nda paka goloi giratshini nda dzhena ndaya kamarani. Ndo swika kamarani ndaima munangoni ndalavhelesa Tshililo. Ovha o edela on my side of the bed, she looked peaceful.
