OLIVIA'S POV
.
.AT OLIVIA AND LIHLE'S ROOM
.
I watched Lihle sitting on her bed in deep
thoughts. She was really going to be married off
to a stranger , a family friend's son she doesn't
even know all in the name of money.
.
Me: (sitting next to her) maybe it wont be that
bad
Lihle: (tearful) easy for you to say you're not the
one getting married
Me: do you know his name?Lihle: (tearful) I know
nothing about him. He could be an old coward
taking advantage of young girls
Me: you can go to the police I'm sure there's
something they can do
Lihle: and embarrass my family no I want them to
be proud of me. I'm contributing to the family
business
Me: Lihle you know you don't have to....We heard
a car hoot
Lihle: (looking out the window) I guess its time
Me: (tearful) I love you
Lihle: (hugging her) I love you too. I will see you
next week
Me: yeah take care
.
I walked her out to the car. We hugged for the
last time. She then got in the car and was driven
home...
.
AT THE BUS
.
I was on my way home to see my sick mother but
I still couldn't stop thinking about Lihle. She
comes from a rich family and the have everything
they want, now how come they are marrying her
off to a stranger. At home were really poor but
I'd rather die poor than to sell my soul for
money. While I was thinking a message came
through..I took out my phone and it was Lihle. She
was reminding me about going to fit in my maid of
honour dress. Though I hated what was happening
she's my friend I can't abandon her. I told her I
will come Thursday..I assumed she was busy
because she didn't reply. I decided to listen to
some Music and enjoy the ride...

OLIVIA'S POV
.
AT HOME
.
I got home to my sick mother. I was glad to see
she was getting better. She was diagnosed with
breast cancer last three years ago but she has
been getting better since she started with
treatment. I was helping her in the kitchen by
chopping the Vegetables.
.
Mom: so your friend doesn't know this man?
Olivia: yes mom its just weird
Mom: why doesn't your friend walk away?
Olivia: its complecated she doesn't want to
disappoint her parents
Mom: what type of parents sell their daughter to
a stranger. A marriage with no love bearly
survives
Olivia: I'm also against this but she's my friend I
have to be there for her
Mom: mmh she will regret everything later on I
just know
Olivia: don't say that ma. Maybe the guy isn't
that bad
Mom: I hope so for her sake. I don't want her to
suffer from abuse like I did with your father
Olivia: (emotional) ma!
Mom: (tearful) please carry on here I need to go
check on my grandson
Olivia: okay ma
.
I carried on cooking as mom went to check on my
nephew. His name is Vuyo my brothers little one.
We live with him after my brother and his wife
died in an accident
.
The day went by fast and before I knew it it was
time to go. I took a bus back to town for the
fitting. I hoped maybe just maybe I will find out
who is the mystery guy.
.
The next day
.
After the fitting I went back to my apartment.
Soon it was going to be my friends wedding. I
first read news on my laptop then called my mom
after that I read stories on facebook and fell
asleep still online.
.
Thank God I had set my alarm it woke me up
around 6. Lihle had asked me to sleep over at her
house so I can help her know her mystery
husband
.
When I got there it was so busy, her mother
waved at me I waved back then went to Lihle's
room.
.
Lihle: (hugging me) finally you came
Me: where are the rest of your bridesmaid are we
suppose to throw a little bridal shower
Lihle: they are all super busy and I don't see why
we should celebrate me being miserable
Me: come on Lili relax maybe he wont be that bad
Lihle: tomorrow is the day. I will be Mrs
somebody
Me: well lets watch a movie that will make you
smile
Lihle: my mom took my laptop so...
Me: we can use mine
Lihle: awesome
.
I played us a movie. Shame my poor friend was
dying from stress I decided to free her from her
miserable life for a while

OLIVIA'S STORY
.
AT THE WEDDING.
.
I still couldn't believe who was marrying Lihle.
Amogelang The youngest businessman in
Botswana. At 19 he started his own business by
selling vegetables he grew on a piece of land his
father gave him. His business grew day by day
that he now owns more than 100 farms selling his
production to more than 500 000 shops world
wide. I had always crushed on him since I was
sixteen, even planned our wedding day and never
did I ever think I will meet him like this.
.
He is marrying my best friend and I have to
accept it. My tall, dark handsome guy was
marrying someone else. His short hair style was
neatly cut and his dark brown eyes were hard to
ignore. I found myself lost in them for a second. I
watched Lihle say the vows that were written by
me thinking about him it was as if I knew it would
be him
.
Lihle: I promise to encourage your compassion,
because that is what makes you unique and
wonderful. I promise to nurture your dreams,
because through them your soul shines. I promise
to help shoulder our challenges, for there is
nothing we cannot face if we stand together. I
promise to be your partner in all things, not
possessing you, but working with you as a part of
the whole. Lastly I promise to you perfect love
and perfect trust for one lifetime with you could
never be enough. This is my sacred vow to you, my
equal in all things
.
I pictured myself saying each and every word to
him, why did she have to be so damn lucky I asked
myself. When he said his vows with his deep sexy
voice I became so emotional before I knew it
tears escaped and everyone was looking at me
.
Lihle: Olivia are you okay?
Me: I'm fine I just tend to get too emotional
when I witness romance
.
People laughed then we carried on. They kissed
and left the church while others screamed in joy
other and singing wedding songs. I faked a smiled
all the way to the reception.
.
We got there and got served with food. The
newly weds joined us after a while and they
danced for us fast forward it was time for the
bride to throw her flowers to the single ladies.
She threw them up in the air and somehow they
landed on my hands. I didn't even jump that much
or fight for them. I guess I will find the one for
me here today
.
Amogelang got beneath her dress taking off the
wedding garter from her thigh. All the single man
waited for him to toss it in the air. He did and it
got stuck in the chandelier everyone laughed
looking for me but I had at the back where it was
a bit dark. He took her hand and danced while
everyone cheered for them and journalists taking
pictures. The wedding garter decided to fall right
on top of his head again the crowd laughed
amused. I decided to sneak away as things got
awkward.
.
I got home really tired I took off my heels and
washed my face. I wore my pyjamas and went to
bed. I lifted my mattress I took out my fantasy
book. I opened it and the first page had two high
school couples picture studying. I had replace
their heads with Amogelangs and mine. The rest I
took from magazines and pasted myself close to
him.
.
I cried realising it couldn't be I took the mirror
and looked at myself and I ended up laughing at
myself.
.
Me: you are so stupid Olivia
.
I said to myself then put down the mirror and
teared the book into pieces. I then threw it in
the bin. I took my Bible and read a few verses
then turned off the light and went to sleep.
.
Later at night I was waken by my ringing phone I
looked at the caller ID and it was Bongani, my so
called boyfriend. What does he want now.
.
Me: hello
Him: I'm outside open the door
Me: Bongani do you know what time is it?
Him: its 1am
Me: go back to where you come from now. I got no
time for your games
Him: come on babe please I'm begging you open. I
got home at 10 and I really wanted to see you
Me: couldn't you wait till tomorrow I'm not in the
mood
Him: come on babe I'm on the door now
.
I hung up and went to open the door. He got in
carrying a box of chocolate. He sat next to me on
the bed.
.
Bongani: I bought you a gift
Me: thank you
Bongani: aren't you going to kiss me?
.
Lean in and kissed him. He kissed me back while
his hand found its way to my v-jay. I pushed him
back as I felt uncomfortable.
.
Bongani: what's wrong?
Me: (looking down shyly) I'm not ready
Bongani: its been six months babe
Me: It will hurt
Bongani: I will put in only the head babe
Me: and if it hurts
Bongani: I will pull out I promise. So do you
agree?
.
I nodded then he French kissed me while pulling
down my pyjama pants. He carried me to the
couch and laid me there. I got excited as he
continued kissing me while playing with my clit.
Lihle had always told me about the wonders of me
licked down there and today was the day I was
going to feel all that.
.
He put his hands beneath my knees and spread my
legs revealing my V-jay. I wanted to help him take
it out but he smacked my hand away from his D.
What was happening I asked myself?
.
Me: aren't we suppose to be fully naked then you
can maybe muff me?
Bongani: (rolling in the condom and laughed softly)
you watch too much porn. Sex is just sex
.
Those words really hurt me, I became dry instant
this is not the way I pictured my first time. The
pain I felt when he penetrated me was
tormenting. I pushed his back but he didn't move
.
Bongani: relax babe
Me: (crying) get off me now!
Bongani: (thrusting again) come on baby aaah
damn
Me: (crying) Somebody help…Oh my God get off
me!
Bongani: (pulling out carelessly) mxm you're such
a cry baby
.
I didn't care to what he said, I ran to the
bathroom and wipe my v-jay. There was a little
bloodstain on the face clothe. I waited for him to
go. I locked the door and went to take a shower.
Still puzzled about what happened on the other
hand my v-jay was on fire
.

OLIVIA'S POV
.
The next day I woke up feeling all guilty about
what happened, that is not how I imagined my
first time. I have always treasured my virginity
for the one. I knew it wasn't going to be Amo but
I wanted it to be special. When Bongani
approached me he did everything by the book. I
was sure he was the one but after what happened
last night. I don't think I can do it again.
.
I went to the bathroom and a mirror I went to my
bed took off my pyjamas and spread my legs, it
was really bruised and still sore. I put the mirror
away and took my phone then called him
.
Bongani: hello
Me: hey its me Olivia
Bongani: I know that
Me: I just want to say sorry about what happened
last…
Voice in the background: babe who are you talking
to so early?
Bongani: no one
Me: (shocked) Bongani you're cheating on me?
Bongani: babe its…
Voice: listen here slut Bongani is my man. I don't
care what you are but if you dare open those
wrinkled legs of yours I will hunt you down and
you don't want to know what I will do to you
Me: what?
Voice: you are still saying what?
.
I hung up and exhaled as tears found their way
down my cheeks. I have been played. I took a
bath and cried till I had a headache. I went to
bed and slept with a broken heart.
.
TWO WEEKS LATER
.
After the whole ideal I have locked myself in the
past few days or should I say weeks. I have been
taking countless baths and just crying. Lihle
called me and apparently she was back from her
honeymoon and wanted me to come see her new
home. I couldn't say no to a dear friend, I took a
shower then cycled there. I was let in my her
maid and the house was to die for in sandton. This
is usually the place where poor people like me only
dream of living in.
.
Lihle: Livia Darling you made it
Me: you know I wouldn't miss it for the for world
Lihle: come in
.
It was damn beautiful the furniture and the
floor. The big glasses, the expensive painting on
the walls not to mention the flat screen on the
wall. This was the life, I dreamed of for my
family.
.
Lihle: so what do you think?
Me: its WOW
Lihle: (laughing) let's go to the kitchen
.
I followed her to the kitchen and it was plain
black and white with a few touch of gold on the
handles. She opened the fridge and my heart
melted. She only took out an Apple
.
Lihle: Knock yourself out
.
Was she kidding me? I packed a pieces of the
KFC that were left there along with salads,
actually I took all her left overs. I took a slice of
the cake and followed her while eating
.
She took to to each room and they were
perfectly decorated. If there's one thing Lihle is
taste.
.
Me: so how is hubby treating you?
Lihle: he's fine just too much, he thinks we can
turn this forced love into something real
Me: well he might be right
Lihle: I don't like him, he doesn't have that thing
Me: did you guys you know?
Lihle: yes but he's too big I didn't enjoy it but he
was gentle
Me: Lucky you
Lihle: (excited) you finally did it
Me: well it was painful I told him to stop then the
next thing he dumps me
Lihle: he was a fuck boy
Me: yeah so that's the story of my life he wasn't
even gentle
Lihle: don't worry girlfriend you will find someone
who loves you
Me: yeah you're right
Lihle: come let me take you to the study
.
I followed her as she continued giving me a tour
.
AMOGELANG'S POV
.
I was on my way to work when I realised I forgot
an important file at home. My father decided to
call out of the blue.
.
Me: Dibuseng
Him: son its been long
Me: (laughing) come on dad it's been two weeks,
how is the family?
Him: they are doing good son how is your wife?
Me: well you were right when you said things
weren't going to be easy after marrying her
Him: you just have to be patient. You did hit it on
your honey moon right?
Me: yeah and it wasn't that good. She was dry
dad, I even had to use lube. I tried being
romantic to her but…
Him: Let's just hope you planted your seed
Me: well that was the plan
Him: don't worry a baby will bring you two closer
Me: we can only hope. I have to go back home to
get a file about for the the transporting business
Him: you were serious about that one?
Me: yes it will bring in hard cash if I do it the
right way
Him: I want in
Me: we will have to sit down and talk about that
when I get home.
Him: okay
.
I hung up and pulled over as the maid opened the
gate for me. I got off the car and went inside.
.
Me: where's Mrs Dibuseng?
Maid: she's upstairs Sir
Me: Lihle! Lihle!
Lihle: what?
Me: is that the way you were taught to speak to
your husband?
Lihle: what do you want Amogelang I'm busy
Me: with who?
Lihle: that's none of your business
Me: well get me my file I think I forgot it at the
study
Lihle: Sara!
Me: I want you to get it for me no one else
Lihle: I see you got time to play
Me: Lihle…
.
I lost words when I saw the girl that has been on
my mind this past two weeks, ever since she cried
at the wedding there's something about her that
I just can't shake off. She shyly looked down
after our eyes met.
.
Me: morning, what's your name?
Lihle: that's none of your business she's my guest
Me: I wasn't talking to you, what's your name
young lady?
Her: Olivia
Me: nice to meet you
.
I shook her hand and she was shaking. I loved the
effect I had on her. Her innocence really did it
for me.
.
Me: I'm Amogelang Dibuseng. You should come
more often
Her: yes Sir
Me: (soft laugh) a respectful girl that's a first.
Who ever marries you will be a lucky man.
Her: (smiling) thank you
.
I could see this pissed off Lihle but she deserves
it with that disgusting attitude.
.
Me: let me go get my file. It was delightful
meeting you my lady
.
I left a kiss on her hand and she was blushing
hard. I then rushed to the study.
.
OLIVIA'S POV
.
he kissed me oh my God. Coming here was worth it
after all
.
Lihle: and wena why are you blushing, he's my
husband
Me: I know that and I wasn't even blushing
Lihle: I'm tired I think you should go
Me: okay bye
Lihle: bye
.
I could see she was jealous but I didn't want to
go into so I went out took my bicycle and went
home. It was so hot and I started feeling dizzy. I
needed water. I stopped and tried catching my
breath. A BMW M6 G- POWER HURRICANE
Stopped next to me and a face that drove me
crazy appeared.
.
.
.
.
.
#5
.
.
Him: where are you going?
Me: I…Im going home
Him: let me drop you off
Me: no I will be fine…
.
My nose bled at the spot and I looked the other
way taking out a tissue to wipe it. I didn't see him
come to me but I felt his hand on my back while
offering me water. I took it and washed off the
blood. I finally got it to stop.
.
Him: come let's go I will take you home
.
He led me to his car and went out he took my
bicycle and gave it to a boy in the neighborhood. I
assumed he knew him. He came back and started
the car.
.
Him: are you okay or do you need to see a doctor?
Me: I'm fine it happens all the time when its hot.
My bicyc…
Him: I will buy you a knew one
Me: (looking at him shocked) but that one was old
Him: I know, so tell me more about yourself
Me: well I'm Olivia 18 years old very poor but
working for a better future for me and my family
Him: so what are you doing in varsity?
Me: Medicine
Him: (soft laugh) I guess we have a family doctor
in the making
Me: (laughing) yeah you can say that… stop
Him: you live here?
Me: yeah with your wife
Him: I see
Me: thank you for the ride
Him: pleasure hope to see you again
.
I just smiled at him and went to my room. I just
had a chat with Among, I still couldn't believe it.
.
.
AT LIHLE'S HOUSE
.
Lihle's mother had come to see her in her new
home. She offered her wine and went to sit in the
living room.
.
Her: its so beautiful
Lihle: I know he got good taste, I just did touch
ups
Her: so how was the honeymoon?
Lihle: it was awful
Her: he can't be that bad in bed
Lihle: I don't think I will last ma he is really big
Her: how big?
Lihle: I can't even explain… cucumber big ma. I
felt like he was splitting me in half. Not to
mention when he hit my cervix
Her: Lihle don't be so dramatic
Lihle: hhay ma I can't do this
Her: you felt discomfort because you didn't relax
Lihle: do you blame me ma? He is a stranger
Her: if you keep saying that then you will never
be happy
Lihle: he told me his family want us to try
Her: I don't see anything wrong with that, maybe
a baby will bring you two close to each other. Your
father would be so proud of you
Lihle: really?
Her: yes just make hubby happy
Lihle: I will see how it goes
Her: good girl
Lihle: let's go for shopping. I wanna get
something sexy for him.
Her: that's a good idea
.
Lihle took her handbag and went out with her
mother. The went to a few shops she picked a few
stuff then came across a black and pink lingerie.
She bought it and then went with her mother to
get something to eat before heading back home
as it was getting late.
.
Her: the waiters are so slow here, (snapping her
finger) waiter waiter
Waiter: greetings miss are you ready to order?
Her: eh what's your name?
Waiter: Austin
Her: Austin get me your manager I want to talk
about this lame service
Lihle: mom that won't be necessary. Don't cause
drama
Her: mxm poverty is written on his stupid face no
wonder he's slow
Lihle: just order what you want mom
Her: I will have chocolate muffin and a black
coffee
Austin: and you Miss
Lihle: I will have what's she's having
Her: make it snappy
.
Austin quickly went to get what they ordered.
.
Lihle: mom that was not necessary...
.
Her: (disgusted) this places looks filthy why do
you love it this much?
Lihle: I just love the food mom
He: excuse me I need to use the bathroom. I
hope its clean
Lihle: okay
.
She stood up and went to the bathroom, Austin
came back with what they ordered. He looked and
Lihle who avoided his gaze
.
Austin: So when were you planning to tell me?
Lihle: soon
Austin: its just a pity I got to know from stupid
magazines with pictures of you kissing him
Lihle: I'm sorry Austin. I had no choice
Austin: why didn't you tell me so we can work
through this together. Lihle I love you
Lihle: I love you too
Austin: I'm not giving up on us. We can still be
together
Lihle: we can't talk about this here my mom may
walk in anytime soon
Austin: I will be knocking off in an hour wait for
me so we can talk
Lihle: okay
.
Austin walked a way and Lihle slowly ate her
muffin, her mother joined her after a few
minutes.
.
Her: at least something is done well in there
Lihle: yeah
.
Her phone rang and she picked it up. After she
hung up she looked at Lihle disappointed
.
Her: sadly I have to go business call
Lihle: its okay mom
Her: let me drop you off home
Lihle: and leave my fresh muffin no way
Her: (laughing) ey you and muffins. Okay goodbye
sunshine
Lihle: bye mom
.
She kissed her cheek then left. Lihle waited for
Austin to knock off she then walked out and
waited for him outside. He walked out in his black
Jean and vneck top. He was tall and coloured. He
led her to his car and drove off
.
Him: do you love me?
Lihle: yes
Him: I know I don't make much but I can support
the two of us
Lihle: I don't want to be your burden
Him: I love you and I can see you're not happy
there. Plus I don't like sharing you
Lihle: maybe we should accept the situation
.
Austin stopped the car and starred at her. They
were in the middle of nowhere. He got out and
pulled out Lihle. He roughly frenched kissed her
and she got turned on by his actions. This is one
of the things she loved about Austin the way he
takes control
.
He pushed her against the car and pulled up her
skirt. He fingered her wet P and smiled
.
Him: you're wet for me baby
.
Lihle just moaned as he tapped her favourite spot
with his fingers. She was about to vibrate when
he stopped and pulled down his pants and slowly
entered. Then hammering her P till she cummed….
.
.
.

.
.
He pulled out and wiped his dick with his vest
then gave it to Lihle. She wiped her p*ssy while
catching her breath.
.
Austin: now who is your man?
Lihle: you are
.
He smiled and baby kissed her. He put on a clean
shirt then opened the door for her. She got in
and smiled looking at him.
.
Lihle: that was mind blowing
Austin: anything for my baby. Now where were
we?
Lihle: I have to get back home
Austin: we still have to talk about your marriage.
I love you and I know you want to be with me
Lihle: I want that but I can't leave now when we
just got married. It will drag our names to the
mud
Austin: I understand. Did you fuck him?
Lihle: what kind of a question is that?
Austin: how was it. Did you enjoy it?
Lihle: no he was bi..boring and really small. I
didn't feel a thing. I just missed you babe
Austin: (laughed) I should have know better a rich
guy with a little dick trying to satisfy my lady who
wants it big
Lihle: (fake laugh) yeah.
Austin: let me take you home before I get you
into trouble.
.
He started the car and to Lihle's house
.
.
AT AMO'S HOME
.
He arrived from work a bit tired. He walked in
hoping to find a good home cooked meal but there
was none.
.
Amo: Why didn't you cook Julia?
Her: Madame said she was going to cook tonight
Sir
Amo: Lihle and cooking. Are you sure you heard
her right?
Her: yes sir
Amo: where is she now
Her: she went out with her mother. I thought
maybe they went to buy a few things for dinner.
I'm sorry Sir I will start cooking
Amo: no don't Julia go to your Domain you have
done enough. I will order myself something
Her: Okay goodnight sir
Amo: goodnight
.
Hd waited for Julia to exit then he took his
phone and called Lihle. He got worried when she
didn't pick up and went to voicemail
.
Amo: Lihle baby call me after you get this. I just
need to make sure you're okay. I'm really worried
about you babe. Please don't do anything stupid
okay if you are depressed we can go see someone
who can help us. Just come home.
.
He hung up and walked around the house in
circles. This was not good at all. He decided to
call her mother
.
Her: hello
Amo: Mrs Buthelezi is Lihle with you?
Her: no I left her at some cheap restaurant in
town
Amo: was she okay. Not sad?
Her: she looked pretty fine to ms
Amo: she's not back yet and I'm worried. I'm
going to look...
.
Lihle walked in through the door and avoided his
gaze
.
Amo: she's back I'm sorry for bothering you
Her: its okay my son
.
He hung up and came to her.
.
Amo: where have you been do you know how much
I was worried
Lihle: you need to take a chill pill and drop this
holy shit crap. I don't love you you're just a
stranger
Amo: (noticing the love bite) you were with a
man?
Lihle: yes with a man that loves me for me.
Amo: we can get there if you fix yourself
Lihle: (laughing) mxm move out of way now
Amo: (pissed) you know I'm trying not to be hard
on you
Lihle: stop being all up in my business. Were not
lovers get that in your head
Amo: (pulled her back) you're my wife and I
demand you to respect me as your husband. I'm
hungry now go cook for me
.
Lihle spat on his face and he fought the argue to
just slap her. He let go off her and walk back
going to the bathroom to wash his face. He went
to their room and a blanket then went to the
guest room.
.
He realised he lost his appetite when he was on
bed. He took his phone and looked and Olivia's
pictures on Instagram and facebook for someone
who seemed poor she seemed to be enjoying life.
Amo couldn't stop thinking about her and the
fact that he was married was a big deal to him.
He couldn't afford to mess things up at this time.
.
OLIVIA'S POV
.
I got into bed very hungry. I was too lazy to cook
and was too broke to even order. So I took a bath
and went to bed. I logged in to facebook and
looked at Amo's pictures. He was so handsome
and looked so cute with that dimple only placed on
his left cheek. After talking to me my mind has
been puzzled. I didn't whether I was happy he
spoke to me or that I was falling even more deep
inlove with him. I decidet to call mom just to
clear up my mind.
.
Mom: Oli
Me: (laughing) mom
Mom: are you okay sweety calling this laye?
Me: come one mom its only 9 pm
Mom: its still late
Me: (laughing) I just wanted to tell you I love you
Mom: (happy) I love you too my baby. Are you
sure you are okay?
Me: yes I am mom though I have a question
Mom: okay?
Me: my friend is in love with a married man and...
Mom: stay away from married man Olivia they are
a no go area. I don't care if their marriage is
falling apart as long as he didn't sign any divorce
papers he's still mar...
Me: hello?
.
My phone's battery was dead. Well I was a bit
glad it it my mom's speech short. I went to
charge and heard someone knock
.
Me: who is it?
Voice: a lonely stranger hoping to eat this
delicious KFC with some good company
.
My tummy rumbled hearing KFC.
.
Me: go away Bongani were done. I don't love you
it's over go to your girlfriend
Voice: I don't know who Bongani is but I'm glad
you're now single
.
I opened the door annoyed and found Amo
standing there tall. My heart stopped beating for
a moment. He walked in kissed my cheek and
locked the door
.
Me: what are you doing here?
Him: well I'm hungry and I want to eat in peace
without anyone bugging me. If you want to join me
you can
.
I sat next to him on my bed. Gosh he was so hot.
I zoomed out for a moment starring at him. His
muscles, clear white teeth, the perfect cut and
not to mention the way he smelled.
.
Him: what are you thinking about?
Me: nothing
Him: don't think too much you might just kill
yourself
.
I laughed and joined him eating the fried chicken.
.
Me: so tell me about the global warming project
you will be doing next year
Him: (smiling) you know about it.
.
I watchy him as he told me all about it and sime
of his business plans. Hewas so ambitious and that
made him different
.
Him: so tell me about your family
Me: (smiling) well where do I even begin
Him: from the start
.
I told him about my family and a lot of useless
stuff about me that's when he held me with his
hands and frenched kissed me. I couldn't resist I
kissed him back. I felf his hand caressing my
thighs. I pushed them back he decided to move
them up and pulled up my vest and cupped my
boobs with his hands. He then took it off and
layed me on the bed. i Iost myself in his eyes. He
pulled off my short pants and came back and
crushed his lips on mine...

OLIVIA

.
I know I want him but am I really going to do this
betray my my friend like this? After being
warned by my mother no I'm not this kind of a
girl. I love myself I …. Maybe just having it once
with him won't be bad… no pull yourself together
Livia you're better than this
.
Me: no Among. I can't do this
Him: (starring into my eyes seductively) why?
Me: you know why, you're a married man
Him: (sighs) if I was happily married I wouldn't
be here
Me: (getting off the bed and dressing up) she's
my friend and I don't want to betray her
Him: I wish she felt same way you feel right now
but no she's busy fucking out with men I don't
know. Tell me who is her boyfriend
.
Damn I forgot Lihle had a man who loved her but
because he is not rich there's no way her family
could have allowed them to be together but I
thought they ended things between them.
.
Him: I asked you a question
Me: I don't know.
Him: you're her friend just tell me the guy's
name, you won't unless you want me to yourself
.
Eh this man is mad yes I want him but he's
married to my friend I already feel guilty about
what happened a few minutes ago.
.
Me: so you come here with a motive to fuck me I
say no and now you think I want you to all myself
wow
Him: just tell me who is she seeing
Me: her last boyfriend's name was Austin. I don't
know if they are still together or what. There you
have it now go
Him: you're cute when you're mad. It makes me
wanna fuck you raw right now
Me: in your sweet dreams Mr Dibuseng. Please go
to your wife
.
He got off the bed and pushed me against the
wall French kissing me. He slid in his finger on my
V-jay and smiled.
.
Him: this tight pussy is mine
.
I lost words as he played with my bean and I
moaned as it felt good and I was starting to get
wet.
.
Me: (pushing him back) No
.
Why was he doing this was it that obvious that I
wanted him. What does he see when he looks at
me a slut or a well mannered lady. Well such
ladies don't do this with married man. I looked at
him as he licked his fingers then took his car keys
.
Him: till next time princess
.
I said no word and waited for him to go. I threw
myself on the bed, still with the picture of his
boner in my mind. I wondered how big it was, but
I'm glad we stopped before taking it that far. I
turned off the light and went to sleep
.
.
AMOGELANG'S POV
.
.
I still can't believe she stopped me I would have
shown her flames. I love her innocence and the
way she's just herself turns me on. Now that
Austin guy I have to find who that guy is. I don't
care if this is a forced marriage or what. Lihle is
my wife , he won't do as he pleases with that
pussy its mine and I need to get this heat Olivia
created off
.
I pulled over at my house and called one of my
guides to open the gate. I drove in and packed my
car in the garage. I opened the door and got in
everyone was now asleep. I went straight to her
room, I took off my clothes and into bed behind
her. I wanted to kiss her on her neck but I
remembered the hickey and decided to pull up her
night dress. She slowly turned over and was
shocked to see me.
.
Lihle: Amogelang what are you doing?
Me: taking what's mine
Lihle: I'm not in the mood
Me: well then you have to compromise wifey
Lihle: Amogelang
Me: tell me you used protection
Lihle: I'm not dumm
Amogelang: good were making a Dibuseng heir
.
I pinned her hands on top of her head with one
hand then rubbed my dick on her wet pussy the
I…#sealed
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
Lihle woke up and Amo was not next to her. She
took a deep breath in then went to bath. After
she was done she walked downstairs to get
breakfast. She found Amo having coffee while
reading a news paper.
.
Lihle: morning
Him: morning
Lihle: aren't you going to work today?
Him: no I'm meeting a friend of mine
Lihle: (boiling the Kettle) a friend?
Him: yeah Austin
Lihle: (heart racing) listen Amogelang I know we
are married and what what but happens between
me and Austin is none of your business
Him: (sipping coffee) carry on signing his death
certificate
Lihle: (yelling) you said you want a baby I'm going
to give it to you now you want to separate me
from the love of my life screw you!
.
He stood up and went straight to her she went
backwards till her back hit the wall. He turned
her to face the wall. He pulled up her dress and
pulled down her panty, he smiled looking at the
wet panty liner. He unbuckled his jean
.
Lihle: (pushing him back) please be gentle
Him: don't ….
Lihle: I'm sorry
.
He hit her ass with his D she closed her eyes
waiting for him to enter. His phone rang
.
Him: let's save it for later
.
She got relieved. He pulled up her panty and
pulled down her dress. He turned her around and
French kissed her.
.
Him: this pussy is mine I paid for it
Lihle: I know
.
He buckled up his belt. Took his laptop and car
keys then called back the person who called him.
.
Voice: yes
Him: did you make a spare key?
Voice: yes sir
Him: good I'm coming to get it
Voice: he goes to work at 12 and knocks off at 7
Him: good I'm coming with your package
Voice: good
.
He carried on driving till he got to an old
abandoned flat. A tall male walked out and gave
him the key. He paid him then went back to his
car
.

OLIVIA'S POV
.
I came back home really exhausted. I
remembered its been a while since I last spoke to
Lihle. She might not be my best best friend but
she's my friend, the only girl that accepted me
with my weirdness when I came here. I decided
to call her
.
Lihle: hey
Me: hi its been a while
Lihle: (laughing) its been a while indeed how are
you?
Me: I'm okay
Lihle: still recovering from that drastic heart
ache?
Me: (laughing) heart break? What heart break?
Lihle: my bad I must have mistaken you for
someone else
Me: so how is hubby?
Lihle: well he is fine
Me: you don't seem too sure
Lihle: its just that last night we had… he actually
fucked me and I…
Me: you?
Lihle: I have to go we'll talk later
Me: go where ,are you okay?
.
She hung up I looked at my phone and put it aside
maybe she has to rush somewhere. I wore my
sneakers and went to the mall. I went to shoprite
and bought food then went to PEP to buy myself
new ear sets. When I went to pay I saw Bongani
looking at baby clothes with a girl I don't know
but it was clear she was pregnant. My heart sank
a little, Bongani realised I was looking at them so
he pulled her to another line. I went to pay now
with a spoiled mood. I don't even know why I liked
that guy.
.
.
AT LIHLE'S HOUSE
.
She hung up and looked st her mother who looked
at her curious.
.
Lihle: what?
Her: who were you talking to?
Lihle: my friend
Her: you're discussing your sex life with your
friends
Lihle: its not friends but friend mom besides its
not like Olivia can do anything. She's not that
type of girl and Amo well he doesn't strike me as
that type of guy
Her: man are weak and you were forcefully
married
Lihle: its funny how you agree with me on that
part but you expect me to fuck with him like were
love birds
Her: did you do what talked about yesterday?
Lihle: well kind of
Her: (smiled looking at the love bite) I see what
he did there
Lihle: (hiding it with her hair) I can't do it mama
he's too controlling
Her: I don't see anything wrong with him taking
what is his. Did you enjoy it
Lihle: a bit
Her: so what is the problem
Lihle: he doesn't stop when I tell him to. I'm
scared of him somehow. He did it till I peed last
night.
Her: did you pee pee or squit?
Lihle: argh can we drop this topic its weird talking
about it with you
Her: I'm your mother I know more than you do
Lihle: mom why are you here?
Her: The Dibuseng family is coming next month
and I thought why don't we plan a surprise for
them
Lihle: a surprise?
Her: yep. Your father told me that there's
nothing more Mr Dibuseng wants than to have
grandkids. Remember Amo is the only son he has
and his daughter can't have children
Lihle: you want me to fall pregnant before they
come here?
Her: yes did you take the pill today?
Lihle: no but…
Her: then don't and bless them with a bundle of
joy
Lihle: I don't want to be a mom right now
Her: the Dibuseng are probably presurring Amo
to make an heir as we speak
Lihle: I see, so far you and dad are benefiting
from. This whole thing what about me, I mean me
and him are married out of community
Her: honey you know when me and your father die
everything is yours
Lihle: so basically I get nothing till you die?
Her: Lihle look around you all of this is yours
Lihle: its just a house
Her: you even shop wherever you want to
Lihle: this is not my dream. I wanted to travel
mom a lot
Her: and you will do that with your husband
Lihle: and a big belly with stupid hormones no.
Look at how skinny I am, look at my figure mom I
worked hard for it to…
Her: stop winning you will have it back the
moment you exercise after birth
Lihle: (poured herself water) will I ever be
happy?
Her: Lihle honey…
Lihle: I'm not feeling well I need to lay down you
will see yourself out
Her: Lihle what do you say about the baby?
Lihle: I will do it
Her: thank you
.
She took her glass of water and went to her
room. She got into bed very angry and drained.
She cried herself to sleep.
.
.
AT AUSTIN'S APARTMENT.
.
He came back from work unlocked the door and
came in and screamed seeing Amogelang sitting on
the couch watching Tv.
.
Amo: you're home finally. I didn't think the guy
busy fucking my wife will scream like a little girl
when he sees me
Austin: mm…m.. Mr Dibuseng
Amo: (stood up coming to wards him) don't call me
when you can see me
Austin: Its not what you think I love her
.
Amo threw a punch at him, he dodged it and
turned back running to the door forgetting it was
closed he hit it hard with his face and took a few
steps back turning to Amo and received a punch
across his face. He fell on the floor with his nose
bleeding. He felt his blood boil up he took a lamp
and swayed it at Amo but he blocked itat it
shattered on his right arm and punched him again.
.
He fell again on the floor, Amo kicked him a
couple of times in his stomach then pulled him up
while he was couching blood
.
Amo: she's my wife you don't tap what's mine and
get away with it. Next time I won't be this nice.
.
He spat on his face and then left.
.
.
OLIVIA'S POV
.
I was getting late and there was no taxi that
went home I had to see mom somehow something
didn't feel right. a white fortune car stopped
next to me.
.
Voice: going home?
.
I tried to look in to see if I knew the guy but it
was dark
.
Voice: (laughing) come on Oliver don't tell me you

Me: (laughing) its Olivia stupid. How have you

Him: Oliver / Olivia same thing thing to me come

.
It was was Michael. We both went to the same
high school and he was like a brother to me. I
never thought I would see him again. I got in with
my bags in his car and he drove me home since we
were neighbors.

Me: (laughing) just curious. Is it still that big?
Michael: (laughing) we're not going to discuss my

He smiled to himself while he was driving. I
wondered what he was thinking about
.
Me: care to share?
Michael: nah its nothing
Me: I still want to know
Michael: I just remembered your face that day
you found me with Tiffany. Why didn't you
knock?
.
I laughed as memories came. I usually went to
visit him after school just to watch movies since
we had no TV at home but that day I walked in
and found him fucking Tiffany. The " It girl" from
school. It was my first time seeing a hard dick. I
ran like a crazy woman.
.
Me: why didn't you lock the door?
Michael: you screamed like you saw a snake or
something
Me: (laughing) it was my first time seeing a dick,
what did you expect?
Michael: (laughing) I'm glad it wasn't small. I
know you told some of your friends what you saw.
They came to my place begging to get fucked it

Me: at least I gave you something to remember
Michael: yeah whatever
Me: (laughing) so who is the lucky lady?
Michael: well she might be next to me
Me: (laughing) you wish I don't date stingy man
Michael: you think I'm stingy now
Me: I was told most charted accountants are
stingy
Michael: well I'm not but I believe in saving
money for more worthy things
Me: point taken.
Michael: we're now home. Get off my car
Me: (laughing) so much for being a gentleman
.
He laughed and helped carry out my bags. I
knocked and my mom opened the door for us. She
actually seemed well and healthy. I was worried
for nothing.
.
Her: (smiling) honey and Michael
Michael: evening ma
Her: how are you?
Michael: I'm fine ma how have you been?
Her: I'm okay. Thank you for bringing her home.
You can come in and…
Michael: (politely) no mom its okay I'm actually
tired after this whole road trip. I'm just going to
go home and lay down
Her: okay son
Me: thanks for the ride again
Michael: okay see you soon
Me: okay goodnight
.
He went to his car and I got in and sat on the
couch while mom dished for me.
.
.
AT LIHLE'S HOUSE
.
She took her phone and WhatsApped Austin.
.
Lihle: love
Austin: babe
Lihle: I miss you
Austin: I miss you too
Lihle: my mom want me to be pregnant
Austin: do you want that?
Lihle: no
Austin: did you tell him about us?
Lihle: no he saw the love bite when I came home
yesterday and he wasn't happy
Austin: well he attacked me as we speak I'm
coming from the Doctor with a broken nose. I
love you but I don't think I can do this anymore
Lihle: please don't leave me Austin I love you.
Give me time to get out of this
Austin: fine and show him you don't love him baby
so he can stop his madness
Lihle: I am
Austin: I love you
Lihle: I love you too
Austin: I'm going to bed now
Lihle: I might come over to take care of you
okay?
Austin: okay
.
She hung up and stood up hearing Amo come in.
She got angry looking at him. He might do
anything but hurting the man she loved was a no
no.
.
Amo: hello wifey
Lihle: what gives you the right to come between
me and Austin?
Amo: you are my wife and I won't have you
bitching around at my expense
Lihle: (yelling) I don't love you Amogelang. Were
in a forced marriage
Amo: don't raise your voice at me Lihle
Lihle: or what huh?
Amo: I will take you to bed and show you flames
Lihle: I dare you to try. The moment you're done
I will report you for rape
Amo: (shocked) are you serious right now?
Lihle: I'm going to take care of him. If you dare
show up there and do anything stupid I will have
you arrested
.
She took her bag and headed to the door. Amo
pulled her back gently.
.
Amo: please don't do this babe
Lihle: I'm not your babe. This marriage is strictly
business get that into your head. I almost lost
myself in this nonsense.
Amo: (softly) we can make this work baby
Lihle: you're a creep
.
She pulled her hand from him and went out.
Amogelang's phone rang he answered while he was
a bit emotional.
.
Voice: brother
Amo: Dintle
Dintle: are you okay you sound down
Amo: I'm fine just catching flue that's all
Dintle: drink med-lemon okay. How is your wife?
Amo: (clearing his throat) she's okay just went to
bed
Dintle: are things going the way you thought they
would?
Amo: umm Dee I have to go. She just call me up
Dintle: (laughing) no need to answer that question
I see you're sorted. Bye
Amo: bye
.
He hung up and swallowed hard. He had finally
thought things were going to go well between him
and Lihle but things were a mess
.
.
AT AUSTIN'S
.
Lihle arrived she had her own spare key so she
easily got in and took off her clothes. Austin
smiled seeing her in her PJs. She kissed his lips
then went down underneath the covers taking his
dick into her hand sucking it
.
Austin grunted feeling pleasure. He breath
heavily as she gagged on it. Taking it out then
spitting on it. He got overwhelmed she was really
good at this. She sucked him while playing with
his balls till he cummed. She swallowed and
cleaned him with her tongue. He wanted to kiss
her but she quickly got off the bed and went to
brush her teeth then came back to sleep.

OLIVIA
.
The next day I woke up and made myself tea.
Mom came with Vuyo feeding him his bottle. I
fried eggs and warmed up last nights pap. I then
served her breakfast.
.
Her: (smiling) thank you
Me: pleasure
Her: so what do you think of Michael?
Me: Michael is still Michael
Her: (giggling) aah my dear don't you know he's
the hottest man in his place wanted by all the
girls
Me: (laughing) who would want Michael mom
seriously
Her: did you even see the way he looks now?
Me: well I couldn't see him well last night but I
doubt he is that cute
Her: (laughing) he would make a great husband
you know?
Me: (laughing) Mara Ma I'm still studying. Too
busy for boys
Her: I was just saying honey. So when are you
going back because you have not closed yet
Me: tonight
Her: you can't keep wasting money going up and
down
Me: I just had to come mom and make sure you're
okay. I'm scared you might leave before saying
goodbye
Her: I will beat this thing their. I'm stronger
than anything
Me: (smiling) I love you mom
Her: I love you too
.
Someone knocked on the door, Olivia went to open
and was surprised to see Michael. She cursed
yesterday's night as she didn't see the new hot
sexy Michael. She lost words starring at him, he
was tall with broad shoulders. Wearing a V- neck
long sleeve t-shirts as it hugged his body. He
wore blue jeans and Timberland's wearing a cap.
.
Me: h…hi
Michael: (smiling) hi I came to give your mom
these
Me: okay follow me
Michael: (starring at her ass) I can't believe you
still got that flat ass
Me: (laughing) stay away from my ass
.
I led him to the kitchen and he placed the
shoprite bag on top of the table.
.
Michael: Mama
Her: (smiling) son
Michael: the old lady said I should bring these
veges since she has many and doesn't want to
keep them till they rot
Her: thank you son
.
I couldn't take my eyes off him mom was right he
had changed and much more hot than before.
.
Me: going somewhere?
Michael: what makes you ask that?
Her: let me go change Vuyo's diaper. Livia you
walk him out okay
Me: okay
.
Mom took Vuyo with her to her bedroom. While
Michael starred at me awkwardly.
.
Me: your dress code says I'm going to see
someone
Michael: well Oliver…
Me: Olivia
Michael: (laughing) I have been invited to lunch by
my brother, he wants me to meet his girlfriend
Me: so its a double date
Michael: sort off
Me: and who are you taking with you?
Michael: you can come with me because I can see
you want to come
Me: I don't want to come. I'm just doing you a
favour so you don't embarrass yourself
Michael: (laughing) I will let that one slide
Madame
Me: let me go get ready okay
Michael: okay don't take too long okay?
Me: (smiling) okay
.
He went outside while I went to bath and wore my
short black dress and black high heels. I don't
know why I chose them but it felt right. My mom
looked at me and laughed.
.
Her: this dress is too short or you plan to be
involved in a car accident?
Me: mom this dress is perfectly long. He is my
friend so don't worry
Her: okay use protection
Me: (laughing) mom gosh what's wrong with you
Her: you're 18 turning 19 soon. You are in varsity
and I'm sure you're no longer a virgin. If you
can't fight temptation rather be on the safe side
and use protection. Don't put boys into your head
you still have a long way to go before earning your
own money
Me: I understand
Her: Michael seems like a nice boy but if he
messes up don't waste your time with him. Leave
while you still can, always put yourself first okay?
Me: (smiling) okay
Her: you should go
Me:'yeah
.
I picked up Vuyo and kissed him then kissed
mom's cheek. I then rushed out to Michael. He
smiled looking at me and opened the door for me,
I got in then he joined me. The dress went back
when I sat down revealing my thighs more. He
smiled taking a peak.
.
Me: what are you looking at?
Michael: (smiling) nothing
Me: (pulling it to cover more of my thighs) okay
.
He played Kendrick Lamar ft Rihanna- Loyalty and
drove to our destination.
.
AMOGELANG
.
I sat in my office unable to work. My friend Josh
got in and sat down looking at me. I said no word I
was not in the mood.
.
Josh: trouble in Paradise
Me: you can say that
Josh: what's going on man?
Me: I guess I expected a lot from this marriage
Josh: she's still being difficult?
Me: more than difficult, I thought I would
dickmatise her and make her fall for me more
since I was told she was a virgin
Josh: and?
Me: she wasn't a virgin. She confessed on our
honeymoon and begged me not to tell her parents
Josh: geez this is deep
Me: I know she doesn't love me but I had planned
to do things right and make her happy at the end
but I'm failing on the other hand my family wants
us to have kids. How do I bring kids to a broken
home
Josh: thought about seeing a marriage counselor?
Me: she has a boyfriend. I doubt she will agree
for any of that
Josh: I guess you should let her be
Me: I'm in love with her friend
Josh: dude you don't wanna go that route
Me: I just can't stop thinking about her man and
with Lihle doing what she's doing. I wanna be with
Olivia
Josh: stay faithful to your wife man. She will
come around you will see
Me: (sighs) I hope you're right. What brings you
here
Josh: I need one of your guys to look at my books.
I'm not making enough profit
Me: Michael went home for a while. He will look at
it when he comes back
Josh: thanks man. How about we go out for lunch?
Me: no man I got tons of work to do
Josh: come on you need a break
Me: okay fine
Josh: (smiling) my man
.
I packed away some of my stuff call the
receptionist to cancel all the meetings I had with
today then went out with my buddy.
.
.
LIHLE'S POV
.
I woke up and made Austin food while he was
taking a shower. After a while he came to join me
in the kitchen. I smiled looking at his innocent
face. Gosh I would die to wake up next to him
every morning
.
Austin: morning beautiful
Me: morning love. I made you your favourite
bacon and eggs
Austin: (taking a bite) thank you sweet heart
Me: will you go to work today?
Austin: no I called in sick so its just you and me
today
Me: (baby kissing him) you don't have to worry
about Amogelang. I told him where we stand and
if he dares hurt you we will get him arrested. He
knows what's at stake if he doesn't respect me
Austin: that's my baby. I love you
Me: I love you too
Austin: how about we watch a movies and do other
activities later on
Me: (smiling) okay let me see what we can watch.
.
I took his laptop and looked for what we can
watch. While he ate then he came to sit next to
me with a blanket covering my legs up. We then
watched The heat. It was great, reminding me of
why I fell in love with him the first place. He
always brought me down to earth with his love. I
even broken my parents rules for him. He is my
everything, he looked at me and gently kissed me
careful not to hurt his nose…

OLIVIA'S POV
.
.
We parked at the filling station. I went out to
the bathroom to freshen up when I walked out I
saw Michael talking with some girl. She was so
beautiful I became jealous, well I had no right to
since me and Michael are just friends but he got
no right doing this now. I mean I'm his date. I
walked over to them
.
Me: hey
Her: hi I'm Jess
Me: oh hey Jess I'm Olivia, see you're enjoying
my man's company
Jess: your man?
Michael: (smiling) don't mind her I'm not her…
Me: babe its 9 o'clock time to take your pill
Jess: (shocked) pill?
Michael: what pill?
Me: let's just go babe or you want me to bring
them here so everyone can know were on ARVs,
really?
Jess: oh my God you selfish bastered
Michael: Jess she's lying
Me: (tearful) oh so now you're cheating on me?
Michael: no what the hell is wrong with you… Jess
wait!
.
I watched Jess walk away as fast as she can it
was funny seeing Michael irritated. He didn't
threw a punch in the car and didn't want to look
at me.
.
Michael: (angry) get in the car now
Me: are you angr …
Michael: I said get in the car now
Me: okay
.
I got in and watched him do a few breathing
exercises. He went to buy water after that he
got in and avoiding eye contact and started
driving. I felt guilty about what I did maybe he
really did like her, his hand was getting swollen
and I felt more guilty.
.
We arrived at a restaurant in town. I didn't know
its name since my pockets didn't allow me too. His
brother Sfiso waved at us , we went to her and
his girlfriend. I was shocked to see a grown ass
woman aged to be in her fifties with 25 a year
old. She was light skinned and had Brazilian hair.
She was in a skinny jean and white T-shirt like
her boyfriend (Sfiso). She stood up and hugged
me and Michael. We sat down and smiled at each
other even I could see Michael was shocked
.
Sfiso: my love this is my younger brother Michael
with his friend Olivia
Her: hi I'm Selina
Me: (more like gogo Selina) hi
Michael: nice to meet you
Me: how old are you?
.
Everyone cleared their throat shocked by my
question but I had to ask. Sfiso looks young
enough to be her son.
.
Selina: 55
Me: (fake smile) wow you look so young like you're
25
Selina: (blushing) thank you
Michael: let's order
.
Sfiso called the waiter and Michael ordered the
both of us spicy pilchard stew and rice then Sfiso
ordered them masala chicken with potatoes. We
waited for our orders and it was so quite.
.
Selina: (looking at Michael's hand) what happened
to your hand?
Michael: I mistakenly slammed the door on it on
my way here but I will be okay
Me: does it hurt?
Michael: no babe its good
Sfiso: babe are you two?
Michael: (smiling) were here to talk about you not
us but so you know she's the only girl that makes
my heart beat faster. I fail to be angry at her
even if she really pisses me off
.
They laughed I felt guilty about his hand. I
placed my on his then slowly pulled in down from
the table. He decided to place it on my thigh. It
was a bit cold and the moment it touched my skin
it sent Shrivers down my spine. He looked at me
and smiled.
.
Me: so how did you guys meet?
Selina: (smiling) its a long story
Me: I'm listening
.
She spoke about boat trips, London , Car's and all
other stuff I didn't know about. I didn't even
understand a word she was saying. We got served
and she kept talking till the ends of time. I just
enjoyed Michael playing with my thigh.
.
AMOGELANG
.
I arrived home and turned on the TV. Nothing
interesting was playing so I took my phone and
called Lihle hoping she would answer
.
Lihle: what do you want?
Me: can you please come home so we can talk?
Lihle: Home is where someone you love it at and
that is not at your house
Me: Lihle I'm sorry I miss treated you
Lihle: I don't want to settle down. I'm too young
for that. I don't even want kids
Me: okay we can put that on hold while we work on
our marriage
Lihle: no just divorce me already
Me: what?
Lihle: I don't love you , I love Austin. We have
nothing in common
Me: how can you know that when we've never
tried getting to know each other?
Lihle: I just know
Me: Lihle… hello.. Lihle???
.
She hung up on me. This is all fucked up why
should I care when she doesn't. I went to change
and wore my grey sweatpants and a white vest. I
have to make things right with Olivia after that
divorce Lihle and marry the woman who truly
loves me.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
The boring date finally ended. We said our
goodbyes then went our separate ways. We got in
the car and I looked at his hand still worried.
.
Me: can we go see a doctor?
Michael: no I will be fine
Me: please Micky you might have broken a bone or
something
Michael: Oliver I'm fine
Me: I feel guilty about it.
Michael: why did you pull that stunt earlier?
Me: nothing
Michael: if you give me an honest answer I will go
to the hospital
Me: (my heart pounding) I'm your date yet you
have the nerve to ask a girl out. I mean what was
the purpose of me coming if you were gonna hook
up with…
Michael: (smiling) you're cute when you're lying
Me: were you lying earlier about us?
Michael: I never lie about how I feel.
.
He took my hand and planted a kiss
.
Michael: I love you
.
My heart jumped up and down in excitement.
Michael loves me , he loves me. He started the
car and drove to the hospital luckily nothing was
broken. They bandaged it and gave him a few
meds for the pain. We then drove back home he
packed the car outside my gate. A moment of
silence passed.
.
Michael: you did not answer me earlier
Me: about?
Michael: you're feelings
Me: (looking down shyly) I love you too
.
He pulled up my chin so I could face him.
.
Michael: say it
Me: I love you Micky
.
He smiled and for the first time kissing me. It
felt like a dream, a dream I never thought I
would be dreaming. He caressed my thighs while
kissing my neck. He was so damn good I found
myself dipping my hand in his pants and rubbing
his boner.
.
Michael: (grunted) oh maan
.
I got hold of a thick slimy liquid and I had that
"gross" look on my face. He smiled and gave me a
toilet paper.
.
Me: (wiping hands) sperms?
Michael: (laughing) just call it precum okay?
Me: (smiling) okay
Michael: (baby kissed me) I love you
Me: I love you too goodnight
Michael: goodnight
.
I stepped out of the car and went into my house.
Me made sure I got in then drove to his home
.

OLIVIA
.
I came in and my Mom was surprised to see me
but I could tell she was happy to see me home
early.
.
Her: you're back early I'm proud
Me: (laughing) you seriously thought I was going
to do that with him ma
Her: things have changed these days most woman
have sex on the first date that's why I advise
you to use protection. I had you when I was 17. I
don't want you to end up like me. Sick and too
poor to make my children happy
Me: we are happy mom. The day I became a fully
qualified doctor you will be the happiest woman on
earth
Her: (smiling) I can't wait for that Doctor Masina
Me: (smiling) me too and another thing umm… me
and Michael decided to give things a try
Her: (laughing) I have long seen this coming the
day he had to go to varsity and you ran behind his
father's car crying
Me: (laughing) yoh mom that happened a long time
ago
Her: you cried for him till his father stopped the
car and Michael calmed you down but it was
innocent back then. He was like your brother
Me: I know I just hope things turn out well for
the both of us. I just want to be happy
Her: just go with the flow but your studies
Me: (giggling) comes first
Her: that's my girl
Me: let me change and go to bed
Her: okay goodnight
Me: goodnight
.
I turned off the light and went to my room. I
quickly changed to my pyjamas then went to bed.
I logged into Facebook and got a message request
from Michael "I forgot to take your number Miss
universe" I laughed and replied "Miss universe?"
"Yes because you're the centre of my world and
represents everything I could possibly want in a
woman" I smiled as my heart melted. I sent him
my number after a while I received a call
.
Michael: miss Universe
Me: (laughing) sounds better than Oliver
Michael: (laughing) I love that name
Me: I have noticed
Michael: I just wanted to hear your voice before
going to sleep
Me: (thoughtful) yeah
Michael: what's wrong now Miss Uni?
Me: (sighed) I guess I'm scared of getting hurt
again
Michael: (sighed) I don't want you to ever doubt
my love for you. I know you have been hurt but I
promise to be that one guy that shows you what
love is. I have lost you once it won't happen again.
I'm in no rush if you want us to wait for a while
before having sex I will wait till you're ready
Me: (smiling) okay did you take your painkillers?
Michael: yeah I'm really sleepy
Me: there's an incoming call. I have to take it it
might be important
Michael: before you go when will you go back to
Johannesburg?
Me: tomorrow morning
Michael: okay I can take you there if you like
Me: that would be great babe thanks
Michael: I love you Miss Uni
Me: I love you too Micky.
.
We blew each other kisses then he hung up and I
answered the other call.
.
Me: Olivia speaking
Voice: bubbles its Amo
Me: what do you want?
Amo: to talk to my lady
Me: and since when am I your lady. Do I look like
Lihle or you called because you're horny?
Amo: I'm about what I said in the past Olivia I
didn't mean any of that
Me: where did you even get my number?
Amo: from the landlord. Please give me a chance
Me: no I have moved on Amo I have a boyfriend
someone who loves and appreciates me. Who
doesn't see me as a sex object
Amo: how can you move on before I fixed things
between us?
Me: Amo there was nothing you needed to fix
between us but there's a lot you have to fix with
your wife
Amo: when are you coming this side?
Me: stay away from me.
.
I hung and and turned it off. He just had to ruin
my good mood. Amo is closed chapter to me what
I had for him was a silly crush. He is married to
my friend and that is far from changing. I pulled
up my blanket and went to sleep
.
"What a beautiful dream, a dream of being with
Michael so happy together but this is so strange
I can breath under water. Michael kisses me and
swims towards me leading somewhere I don't
know. I try to catch up with him but he is so fast.
He stooped realising I was swimming slowly
towards him and gave me his hand. I managed to
touch his finger tips as something grabbed me
pulling me away from him by force . I start losing
my breath as the water now chokes me. Michael
stands there with his hands tied together with a
wire digging deep into his wrist…
.
I woke up breathing heavily and sweating. My
mother was in my room with Vuyo crying. Gosh I
was also crying.
.
Mom: (handing me water) drink this
Me: (catching my breath then drinking water)
thank you
Mom: what was it about?
Me: I was losing Michael. I don't know how to
describe it mama
Mom: you're over thinking things between you two
Me: (sighed) I guess so ( looking at Vuyo) sorry
for scarring you boy
Mom: it's already 6 o'clock you can start
preparing youself
Me: I want to sleep ma besides its not like I going
to catch a taxi there
Mom: okay I will wake you up at 7:30
Me: okay
.
She took Vuyo and went to her room. I struggled
to sleep still thinking about the dream about what
it meant. The part where his hands were tied
scared me to death. I know its been a while but I
love this man. I took my phone and called him.
.
Michael: (sleepy) Miss Uni do you ever sleep?
Me: (smiling) I just wanted to hear your sleepy
voice my love
Michael: (laughing) and it sucks doesn't it?
Me: (laughing) plus your morning breath gross
Michael: (laughing) how did you sleep?
Me: great
Michael: okay babe when should I come get you?
Me: at 8
Michael: okay babe till then
Me: love you
Michael: always say I love you
Me: (giggling) I love you
Michael: I love you too
.
I hung up then went to take a bath. I had packed
all my bags then waited for Michael to pick me.
He came in to greet mom they talked for a while
after that we went to Johannesburg. We arrived
to where I lived and he loved the fact that we
could spend time together without being
interrupted.
.
Me: when will you knock off from work?
Michael: I think at 5pm
Me: you can come have dinner with me if you are
too lazy to cook
Michael: I took a few days off so I might need to
take my work home maybe after I've halved my
work load. You need all my attention Miss
Universe
Me: (smiling) okay but I wanna see where you live
so I can come visit you sometimes
Michael: okay baby no problem. Let me take you
to school you have to be in at 3pm right
Me: yeah
Michael: okay let's go Doctor Ngwenya
.
I laughed and followed him out locking the door.
.

OLIVIA
.
I came back to my place and found Amo waiting
for me outside.
.
Me: What are you doing here?
Amo: no hi, how are you?
Me: just say what you want to say and leave
Amogelang
Amo: I know you are still mad at me for what I
said that night and I'm sorry for the impression
that I gave you about myself. I don't see you as a
slut if you were you would have slept with me that
night but you didn't
Me: I forgive you now leave
Amo: I want you to know that I love you and…
Me: take your love where it will be appreciated. I
love Michael with all my heart
.
A smiled appeared on my face when I said his
name and my heart beat raced. He did things to
me even if he was not there.
.
Amo: Michael from where?
Me: that is not important. What is important is
for you to go back to your wife
Amo: stop calling her that, she's not my wife
Me: stop being in denial
.
He came towards me and forcefully pushed me
against the door and kissed me I tried pushing
him back but he held my wrists together. I kicked
him but he didn't move, he just looked at me with
those brown eyes and pressed his forehead on
mine.
.
Amo: at the end of it all you will be a Disuseng
Me: I'd rather die a Masina
Amo: you're mine
.
He let go off me and went to his jeep and came
with a brand new bicycle. I forgot about that one
.
Amo: your ride to school
Me: I don't need it anymore my man will drive me
there himself
Amo: take it just in case
Me: (opened the door) I don't want it go give it to
someone else
Amo: I'm leaving it here then
Me: okay its your money after all
.
I got inside and locked the door. What does this
man want from me. I called Michael but he's
phone was off. I guess his still busy. I cooked for
myself then went to take a bath. I came back and
ate then wrote him a message. " I miss you babe"
he called me instantly
.
Me: that was was fast
Michael: just got my phone on the charger and
this is the first message I get
Me: are you done with work?
Michael: no but I will make sure by tomorrow I'm
done so you don't have to miss me that much
Me: I really miss you can you come over with your
work I promise not to disturb you
Michael: (soft laugh) no babe I don't think I can
focus around you
Me: pretty please I will look at my books while
you're busy
Michael: okay but if you don't behave I will leave
Me: deal
.
I hung up a bit excited . I went to brush my teeth
and cleaned my cookie just in case things don't go
according to plan. I changed into my short nightie.
I heard him knock and went to open. He looked at
me and his mouth formed an 0.
.
Me: Micky
Michael: miss Uni
.
He French kissed me not touching my body. I
smiled when he broke away the kiss.
.
Me: avoiding temptation I see
Michael: I have to work miss Uni
Me: okay
.
He got in and sat on the couch taking out his
laptop and working. When he said he was going to
work I didn't have this in mind. It was really hot
when he took off his shirt and was left with only
his white vest. It was such a turn on. I took out
my books and tried really hard to concentrate but
the inner hoe was playing tricks. I was so damn
horny.
.
I sat next to him brushing his thighs.
Michael: (smacked my hand) no no
Me: babe do you really have to work?
Michael: (still focused on his laptop) yes and you
have to go look at your books
Me: (running my hands under his vest) but babe
Michael: (pushing me back) we both agreed no to
do this when I get here. If you can't stick to the
deal then maybe I should go. I can't afford to
lose my job
Me: (sulking) I'm sorry
Michael: come here…
.
I sat on his lap and we French kissed for a
moment.
.
Michael: don't be mad at me okay?
Me: okay
Michael: once all of this is out of the way I'm
taking you to my house for a week
Me: (giggling) okay
Michael: now please put on something a bit long I
can't concentrate
Me: okay
.
I got off him and he spanked my butt, I laughed
and went to change into my boring PJ's I then
took my books and laid on the bed studying.
.
.
ONE MONTH LATER
.
Amogelang welcomed his Uncles in with his
father. They sat in the living a bit shocked to be
served by a maid than the bride they emptied
their banks for.
.
Uncle1: I want the woman of this house to be the
one to serve me tea not the helper
Uncle 2: me too, we paid heavily for her to be
your wife and do all wifely duties
Father: where is she?
Amogelang: she moved out a month ago. I tried to
stop her a lay down ground rules but she
threatened to have me arrested and I have so
hard to have what I have today to just lose it
over night
Uncle3: you did good
Uncle 1: good? This boy didn't even try to make
things right
Amogelang: I tried Uncle I called her parents and
they promised to talk to her since they were out
of the country but still
Uncle2: all that money down the drain
Uncle3: I knew this marriage was long doomed
before it even started
Father: I was certain it was going to work since
that lady was pure
Amogelang: well it didn't father I want out
Uncle 1: you can't just walk away we need to sit
down with her family and talk about this
Uncle 2: ey you could've found a decent wife at
home. Not this one now look at the money we
wasted
Father: I have told her parents and we will
discuss this tomorrow when they arrived
Uncle3: okay let's leave it there
Father: I need to talk to you about that
transport business
Amogelang: okay we can go to the study
Father: good
.
Amogelang stood up and his father followed him
to the study.
.
.
AT AUSTIN'S
.
Lihle looked at the home pregnancy test it had
two red lines she was pregnant. She wondered
who was the father but couldn't come up with an
answer. Her phone vibrated and it was her mom
.
Lihle: (wiping away her tears) mom
Her: you better be at the meeting tomorrow. The
Disuseng are furious about your behavior
Lihle: (tearful) but I…
Her: if you don't come I will disown you and…
.
Lihle hung up crying. She dried her tears and
washed her face then went to cook for Austin.

This past past month I have been too busy with
with my studies. Being a medical student was hard
and I won't lie I have been neglecting Michael and
he has been complaining about it. I know its not
fair but my studies come first. I was on my way
out for an exam when I bumped into Michael
.
Me: hey you
Michael: miss Uni
Me: (kissing his cheek) I wish I could stay and
chat but I got to go
Michael: I really want to talk to you
Me: can it wait babe I really have to go
Michael: you said that the last time
Me: Micky this is not the right time
Michael: you have been neglecting us, neglecting
me babe and I…
Me: not this babe
Michael: its been a month and you have been
avoiding me
Me: I got busy with my studies
Michael: are you with someone else besides me?
Me: where is this coming from now?
Michael: I don't know its just ever since I turned
you down that day you started acting like this 3
days later
Me: I have been busy Micky
Michael: I can see you're lying to me
Me: aargh I really don't have time for this. Just
get your insecure stupid ass out of my way
Michael: (shocked) what?
Me: (locking the door) I said move
Michael: (pissed off) when did you learn to
disrespect me like that huh?
Me: Micky I'm not in the mood
Michael: (sighed) okay Olivia. I just wanted an
explanation let me drop you off then if its okay
Me: that would be nice
.
We went to his car he didn't open the door for
me for the first time, he just got in and waited
for me. I got in then he drove me there. I left a
kiss on his cheek though he didn't seem to care.
.
The truth is I was a fraid of doing the deed with
him. Not after I've seen his dick semi erect. It
was Bongani's has nothing on him, he was big and
long I am certain he will tear me apart. How do I
even tell him all this he will think I'm stupid on
the other hand I can't starve him or else he will
go look for what I don't give him somewhere else.
The thought of sharing him broke my heart. I
just have to be strong and deal with this as a
woman.
.
.
AT AMOGELANG'S
.
things got pretty heated at the meeting, Lihle's
family couldn't defend her as everything bad
pointed to her. Her father begged Amogelang to
give her a second chance but Amogelang wanted
out. His Uncles managed to make him give her a
second chance. He agreed and the meeting ended.
Amogelang went out to get some air when his
father followed him out.
.
Him: don't regret it it will be worth it at the end
Amo: I'm not happy Dibuseng
Him: I know but he had invested a lot in your new
business.
Amo: I know I have managed to by 3 private jets
Him: see we're going higher. He got so many
connections soon you will get the cruise ship thing
off the ground if this goes well
Amo: I know
Him: the way you want out of this its like you got
your eyes set on someone else
Amo: I do but she won't take me seriously as long
as I'm married. She respects my marriage as if
its real
Him: sounds like a good lady.
Amo: she doesn't even look my way she wants
nothing to do with me. I send her gifts he next
day I find them on my door step. She's stubborn
yet fragile at the same time. She has even
replaced me with someone pity I can't do the
same
Him: (smiling) you are indeed in love. Do you have
a picture of her
.
Amo took out his phone and showed his father a
picture of Olivia he got from Facebook
.
Him: she's beautiful but looks young
Amo: she turned 19 last week
Him: you're 25 and need to settle down. She still
wants to have fun
Amo: not my Olivia. If she finds the right man
she behaves and became loyal to you
Him: give Lihle a second chance if it doesn't work
out then you can follow your heart but remember
your heart will never make you money
Amo: what I have is enough I just need someone
faithful to share it with
.
They both laughed.
.
Amo: I need to go to the office
Him: aren't you going to see your wife first she
just got back
Amo: I will let her settle in we will talk later
Him: me and your Uncles are leaving we have done
our duty here
Amo: thank you. Let me go say my goodbyes then
Him: okay
.
Amo went to talk to his uncles after that he went
to the office
.
.
LIHLE
.
I sat on the bed in my room my father was angry
at me he kept shouting but I couldn't hear a word
all I could do is count the dates trying to figure
out who is the father. Everything got twisted as I
realised I slept with them both a month ago.
.
Him: (angry) you really disappointed me
embarrassing me in front of the Disuseng
Mom: give the poor child a break she knows what
she did wrong just forgive her. She has
apologized
Him: I hope this won't happen again
Mom: it won't happen right?
Me: right
.
My father stormed out and my mother followed
him. My phone rang and it was Austin. I
remembered I left him a note about the good
bitter news
.
Me: babe
Austin: abort it
Me: I can't its wrong
Austin: what do you think that thug of yours will
do to me when a colored baby popps out. He broke
my nose what is next
Me: Austin we can work things out
Austin: (thinking hard) okay okay I guess you're
right. I'm just scared for nothing
Me: just calm down I got a plan
Austin: okay when will we discuss it?
Me: tomorrow. I will come over okay?
Austin: okay
.
I hung up and exhaled. I was going to skip the
country with the love of my life. He's the first
one who fucked me for sure this baby belongs to
him. I will do DNA test if its Amogelang's I will
abort it in a blink of an eye

After our fight this morning I felt guilty. I don't
blame him for feeling that way and I have to be
honest with him like he is to me. I decided to buy
lunch and take it to his office. It was my first
time being there. A kind receptionist showed me
his office. When I came in he just looked at me
and went back to work with no smile. I sat down
putting the paper bag on the table
.
Me: hi
Michael: hi
Me: I bought you lunch
Michael: thanks but I'm not hungry
Me: you work a lot
.
He just looked at me then stood up and went to
take more files putting them in his bag. I stood
up and took his hands into mine
.
Me: I'm sorry for what I said earlier Micky
Michael: it doesn't matter
Me: I will tell you the honest truth why I have
been avoiding you when we get home
Michael: I want now
Me: here?
Michael: yes there's only me and you here
Me: (looking down) I'm scared of your dick
Michael: what?
Me: you can't seriously expect me to repeat that.
I saw it that day we took a shower together and I
have never seen anything like that. You will tear
me and I'm scared okay?
Michael: okay we will talk about this when we get
home
.
I nodded and he pulled me by my waist and
French kissed me. He stooped when someone
cleared his or her throat and I was shocked to
see Amogelang by the door.

Olivia
.
Amo: I see this office is turning to be your
bedroom
Michael: no Boss
Me: I'm sorry
Amo: (throwing a file on the table) I need this
done before the end of the day
Michael: yes Sir
.
I could see Amo was hurt by what he saw even
though he tried to prove the authority face but I
didn't feel bad about anything. Michael was my
boyfriend and he was my friends husband. He
then left
.
Me:(kissing Michael's cheek) you will find me at
your place okay
Michael: okay
Me: I love you
Michael: I love you too
.
I walked out and went to the elevator Amogelang
quickly ran in and stopped it.
.
Amo: we have to talk
Me: we have been through this what do you want?
Amo: so this is the Michael. My employee
seriously
Me: I don't see anything wrong with that I'm his
girlfriend you're his boss
Amo: why are you being like this?
Me: I'm happy with Michael can't you see that
Amo: do you have any idea of how much I love
you?
Me: if you love me as you claim then leave me
alone
Amo: I know sometimes I can be stupid but I also
have a heart and never did I thought you would be
the one hurting me like this
Me:I won't put my life on hold for you
Amo: I know and I don't blame you. Can I have a
Goodbye kiss then, I promise to leave you alone
Me: and stop sending the gifts?
Amo: yes
Me: okay
.
He walked close to me and pulled up my chin
before I knew it his lips were on mine. Our tongue
dancing an unheard song. I struggled to breath he
moved from my lips to my neck then going back
again kissing me with his arms around my waist all
the time. It was magical with so much emotion. He
pulled back and whispered to me
.
Amo: I love you Bubbles
.
I looked at his tearful eyes and baby kissed him.
I felt guilty I never liked making anyone sad. He
lifted me and swang me in the air I giggled.
.
Me: put me down Amo
Amo: (smiling) okay okay at least you smiled
Me: goodbye
Amo: bye
.
The elevator took me me downstairs. I got off
and went home a bit relieved because I could
finally be with Micky without being worried about
Amo.
.

AMOGELANG
.
I went back to my office, how can I let go of her,
how can I stop fighting for that beautiful lady.
Her lips made me breathless. She's my happy
place. I went to Michael's office.
.
Him: boss I'm sorry about earlier
Me: its fine just don't do it again . I need you to
deal with two more books before you go. The
Germans and the Nigerian's. Can you handle that?
Him: yes sir considered it done
Me: that's my man
.
I walked out and came back the files. If I'm
failing to win Olivia I will get her to walk away
herself. I went to my office and got back to work.
.
.
Lihle woke up a bit late. She went to bath and put
on her blue jeans and a pink t-shirt. She packed
her suit cases and took them to her car. She had
withdrew money from the bank yesterday and it
was R60 000 she stopped by the the mall and
withdrew another R60 000. She then drove to
Austin's place.
.
She stopped outside then got out and went inside.
She knocked on the door and Austin opened up.
His bad breath made her nauseous.
.
Austin: hey
Lihle: hi
Austin: come in
Lihle came in but couldn't handle the smell she
rushed to the bathroom and vomited. She finally
calmed down then got up and went to the living
room.
.
Austin: are you okay?
Lihle: I'm fine
Austin: so what is the plan?
Lihle: I was thinking about skipping the country
together and raise our little one
Austin: am I the father?
Lihle: I don't know but if it's his I will abort it
Austin: we don't have money
Lihle: I withdrew some cash and we have tickets
to USA all we need is to pack our bags and leave
Austin: I can't leave my family here
Lihle: I'm also sacrifing here
Austin: don't act like they care about you. Even if
you disappeared they wouldn't notice
Lihle: can you please work with me here Austin
Austin: why don't we just get rid of it and start
fresh?
Lihle: what its a baby my baby I won't kill her
Austin: it doesn't have a heart beat
Lihle: it will soon
Austin: see the way you talk about it proves me
that even if we find out its a Dibuseng you won't
abort
Lihle: I will can we just…
.
She quickly got off the couch and and rushed to
the bathroom. She vomited at the toilet for a
while and Austin didn't bother to check on her.
After she was done she went to wash her mouth
at the basin. Austin came behind her she lifted
her face and saw him in the mirror with a Knife up
on the air pointed down to her.
.
She threw herself on the left side of the basin as
the knife came down hitting it. She screamed
fighting to get up, Austin came straight to her
with the knife, she managed to kick his knee. He
fell down on the floor.
She got up and tried to run but Austin grabbed
her by her leg she fell on the floor biting her
tongue and hitting on her nose.
.
Austin stabbed her leg she kicked him with the
other and stood up running out and closing the
door. She went to the door that led outside and it
was locked. She heard him open the door. He
came limping out. Lihle ran to the window and
threw herself out.
.
She ran as fast as she could and jumped the
fense . Austin was already out the door.
Screaming
.
Austin: sweety I'm sorry please forgive me. Come
back so we can talk
.
But Lihle knew if she went back that would be the
end of her. She got in the her car and drove as
fast as she could to the airport. She cleaned her
wound with the first aid kit then went to the
bathroom to freshen up. She then went to the
line with her bags and after a few minutes she
was in a plane the USA
.

AT AUSTIN'S HOUSE
.
He went up and down the house not knowing what
to do. He tried calling her for a couple of times
but her phone was off. His friend Ben arrived and
found him sweating on the couch
.
Ben: what's up man?
Austin: (shaking) I messed up bro
Ben: calm down and tell met what's going on
Austin: I really messed up man I might get
arrested
Ben: dude just get straight to the point
Austin: she's pregnant
Ben: who, Sihle, Ntombi or Pearl?
Austin: Lihle
Ben: (shocked) are you crazy man, how can you
get a married woman pregnant. I thought you
were only in it for money
Austin: I didn't plan it she doesn't even know who
is the father between me and her husband
Ben: how can you mess thus up. Did you even think
about your dying son in hospital?
Austin: she wanted us to skip the country, she
told me she had plenty of money in her car I just
lost it man.
Ben: what do you mean lost it… don't tell me you
killed her
Austin: (tearful) I was so close but she escaped.
Now I don't know where she is. I needed that
money to get my boy a kidney bro I needed it
Ben: well running away is not an option. Maybe she
has already skipped the country
Austin: I have to go see my boy just in case I get
arrested
Ben: okay let me take you there
Austin: thanks dude
.
Austin grabbed his jacket and limped out to Ben's
car. They then went to see his son
.
.
AMOGELANG
.
I came back home from work late and found the
Sara cleaning the kitchen
.
Me: evening
Sara: evening Sir
Me: where is Lihle
Sara: I don't know Sir but she left a note in your
room
Me: did you read it?
Sara: no Sir it is none of my business
Me: warm up my food then go rest
Sara: yes Sir
.
I went to my room and found the note on my bed.
It was written
.
"If you're reading this I'm probably gone. I'm
sorry Amogelang but I can't force myself to love
you. It won't work, I tried forcing myself but I
failed. I'm leaving the country don't even bother
to look for me. Tell your family I'm sorry. I'm
sorry I failed them along with my parents.
Goodbye forever"
.
I was tired of her games, I wanted this to end
once and for all, I took my phone and called my
lawyer
.
Voice: Mr Dibuseng
Me: I need you to draw out divorce papers
Voice: for you and Mrs Dibuseng
Me: me and Lihle Buthelezi
Voice: yes Sir
Me: we're married out of community so it
shouldn't be that hard. She left the country so
you have to find her
Voice: that is no problem Sir. I'm right on it
Me: good
.
I hung up and went downstairs making another
call
.
Him: Dibuseng speaking
Me: father she has pulled one of her stunts again
Him: who your wife?
Me: soon to be ex wife, divorce papers are being
prepared as we speak
Him: maybe she went to her parents let me call
them
Me: she wrote a note dad. I'm keeping it safe for
you all
Him: wish we need to do things the right way
Me: do what you have to do dad but I have made
up my mind I'm done.
Him: I guess I can't change your mind now. You
have my blessing to do what makes you happy
Me: thank you goodnight
Him: goodnight
.
I hung up then took my plate and ate.
.

OLIVIA
.
I had dinner on my own after waiting for Michael
for hours. Maybe he wants me to feel how I made
him feel all this time, or maybe he forgot about
me and decided to work till late or tomorrow
morning. I went to take a shower , I wrapped
myself in a towel then applied lotion on my skin. I
got a call I answered quickly hoping it was him.
.
Me: hey
Voice: its Austin
Me: oh Austin how can I help you?
Austin: have you heard anything from Lihle
Me: me and Lihle don't talk that much nowadays.
I always have to be the one to call her
Austin: umh can you call her now?
Me: why what's wrong?
Austin: nothing we had a fight I just need to
know if she's okay
Me: why don't you ask her yourself?
Austin: I already told you the reason
Me: okay let me try call her
.
I dialled her number and it went straight to
voicemail. I tried again and it didn't go through. I
called Austin.
.
Me: I can't find her maybe she's with her
husband
Austin: (sad) I see
Me: if I were you I would walk away. You will get
more hurt than her and Amogelang
Austin: you're right… umh I have to go okay
Me: okay bye
Austin: bye
.
I hung and a saw Michael coming in the room. I
got a bit mad but I contained it for my sake.
.
Michael: hey Miss Uni
Me: hi
Michael: I'm sorry I'm late
Me: and you didn't even think of calling and
letting me know
Michael: I left my charge home. (Pointing at it)
there it is, I would have called
Me: okay let me go warm up your food Sir
.
He stopped me on my way out and made me sit on
his lap with his arms around my waist.
.
Michael: I'm sorry babe. Mr Dibuseng needed
those figures today
Me: (thinking about the kiss and feeling guilty)
okay
Michael: still mad at me?
Me: no but you work too much
Michael: I know but I will still be the boyfriend
you love forever
.
We laughed.
.
Michael: I guess we have to talk about my dick
.
I looked down shyly embarrassed
.
Michael: well I'm a big guy I know that but I love
you babe and I will try to be more gentle so you
don't feel a lot of pain. As long as you are wet and
relaxed you will enjoy it babe.
Me: okay… let me go warm up your food
Michael: that won't be necessary
Me: babe you need to…
.
He French kissed her and looked at her light
brown eyes. He ran his hands on her body and
kissed her again. She loved the kisses as he went
down on her neck and she softly moaned. He
slowly…#sealed

I woke up the next day being lightly shaken by
Michael. He had made me coffee and I looked like
a hot mess. I sat up straight and took my coffee
.
Me: morning
Michael: morning miss Uni, how are you?
Me: well I'm good still recovering from last night
Michael: (smiling) how was it?
Me: it was mind blowing… I vibrated
Michael: (laughing) you had an orgasm babe
Me: (laughed) okay I had that it was so great I
felt like exploding
Michael: (smiling) there's more where that came
from but first we have to get you to take it all in.
Me: (smiled and remembered) shit we have to get
the pills
Michael: oh I almost forgot. Go take a shower so
we can go
Me: okay
.
I took a sip of my coffee and went to shower
after that I wore my pink dress and pumps.
Michael had already bathed, we walked to the
nearest pharmacy. We both walked in and found 2
couples there they also had contraceptives. We
got ours and joined them it was weird but who
cares.
.
After that we went back home and Michael had to
go to work. I had submitted all my assignments so
I had nothing else to do except to stay home.
.
TWO YEARS LATER
.
AMOGELANG
.
its been two years and I'm still trying to wrapped
my head around the divorce issue. Our families
met and they agreed that this marriage should be
ended but Lihle is no where to be found. People I
have hired to look for her confirm that she moves
from one place to the next its tiring. She was last
sported in Nigeria 6 months back I don't know
where she could be right now.
.
Michael: boss
Me: yes
Michael: this is the last file do I have to do
something else before going home?
Me: no you go and be with your lady
Michael: (smiling) thanks she has been complaining
lately
Me: oh really?
Michael: she says you're over working me but I
told her its fun because I work well under
pressure
Me: I see. I wish all my others employees could
be like you
Michael: (smiling) all in good time, all in good time
.
He smiled and left my office. My father arrived
shortly after him and found me in deep thoughts.
.
Father: if you keep doing that you might end up
killing yourself
Me: well will you blame me? I got married to a
stranger things didn't work out, she decided to
skip the country. Now I want to divorce and she's
no where to be found on the other hand the
woman I love is dating my employee
Father: the girl called Olivia?
Me: yes she's dating Michael. I have to watch
them play lovely dovey in the office some days its
torture
Father: I can see you love her its been two years
but still and your mother really wants to meet her
Me: (smiling) they are two different people I
wonder if they will get along. To think that Olivia
used to love me hurts me deeply, I gave her the
wrong impression now she's with someone else
Father: does she love him?
Me: with all her heart. When Olivia loves she
loves with all her heart. That's why I know the
moment Michael messes up it will take Olivia time
to move on specially now that they've been
together this long I feel out of place
Father: you know so much about her when you
didn't even date
Me: I just know
Father: don't get too desperate for her love you
might lose everything you have
Me: I know
Father: Lets go have lunch I'm starving
Me: (smiling) okay
.
I packed up then went out for lunch with my
father
.
.
AT MICHAEL'S PLACE
.
He arrived late from work and found Olivia
packing her bags.
.
Michael: miss Uni what's going on?
Olivia: I'm going home
Michael: I thought we agreed that you were to to
stay with me over the holidays
Olivia: stay with you, are you serious right now?
Michael: (unpacking) come on babe don't do this
to me
Olivia: (annoyed) stop doing that Michael!
Michael: (shocked) you called me Michael
Olivia: I'm just tired of living alone. You leave
early and come back late. We had sex four times
last year. You're only focused on your work and
family
Michael: I know and I'm sorry
Olivia: just let me go this won't work. I need
someone who can give me attention and not starve
me
Michael: you will get all the attention you need
this coming holidays
Olivia: you said that last time
Michael: I mean it this time Oliver
Olivia: its Olivia. Mxm you don't even know how to
pronounce my name what did I expect
Michael: I'm sorry babe please don't do this
.
Olivia zipped her suitcase and dragged it to the
door. Michael pulled her in and threw her on the
bed. Her dress went up as she landed and Michael
smiled looking at her thighs. He tried to pull down
her panties but she hang on to them
.
Michael: Olivia let go
Olivia: no its my panty you let go
Michael: I want my pussy
Olivia: no go get it from your boss
Michael: fine then
.
Michael teared her lace panties from the sides ,
Olivia couldn't believe it
.
Olivia: are you crazy do you know how much they
cost?
.
Michael threw them away kneeled down to her
pussy. She hisde it with her hands not wanting
him to touch it but he simply pulled away her
hands and bit his lower lip as he saw her pussy
juices going down to her ass.
.
Michael: you're crazy if you think I'm just going
to give up on this pussy
.
He sucked her pussy while playing with her bean.
Olivia tried not to care or feel pleasure but it was
too overwhelming. His tongue did wonders to her.
She moaned wanting more making circles with her
hands on his head. He did this till she vibrated.
Then got on top of her and French kissed her.
She smiled tasting her juices
.
Michael: you're not going anywhere right?
Olivia: yeah
.
They both smiled and cuddled
.
.

.
I rested my head on Michael's chest after our
hot steamy session. He was brushing my hair back
at that time.
.
Me: babe
Michael: mm
Me: why do you insist on calling me Oliver?
Michael: don't you like it?
Me: are you serious right now. I spent years at
school correcting everyone but you never stopped
Michael: (laughing) well I guess its time you knew
the truth
Me: tell me
Michael: I liked you since you set foot at high
school and calling you Oliver made you give your
attention to me. I wanted to be your boyfriend
but you friend zoned me
Me: (smiling) you were not this hot back then
Michael: though I was friend zoned the benefits
of being your friend were epic. It was easy to
manipulate you since you were young and always
curious
Me: (laughing) what benefits?
Michael: I got to kiss you when you were sad and
hold your boobs when you were insecure about
your body image
Me: (laughed) you jerk
Michael: but most of all…
.
He turned and kissed me
.
Michael: I got myself a good woman, someone I
want nothing more than to spend every minute
with. There's a lot of things that I don't wanna
miss
Me: such as?
.
He caressed my body making me have butterflies
on my tummy. His hand travelled to my boobs and
gently squeeze them. He leaned in and sucked
both of them driving me insane, his other hand
played with my bean. I moaned as it felt so good
.
Michael: such as seeing you in your white dress
and giving you children. I have never been in love
with someone this deep. Do you love me?
Me: I love aah…. Oh my God
.
I moaned as he inserted two of his fingers in
tapping my favorite spot. It was so damn good I
kept moving my waist in circular motion enjoy it.
He went down and muffed me till my walls spasm.
He went up and kissed me then took out a little
black box from his drawer and placed it on my
belly
.
Michael: will you marry me?
Me: (shocked) Micky… what?
Michael: (smiled) will you be Mrs Michael
Ngwenya?
Me: yes
.
He put the ring on me and kissed me. He then laid
next to me getting some rest. I looked at my ring
it was beautiful but I wondered how we were
going to get married, he was still paying for his
own house and better yet the house he was
building back home for his mom. I should not
stress about this we will probably talk about this
later
.
.
ONE WEEK LATER
.
Me and Michael were on our way home. I had
already met his family before so it wasn't going
to be that strange and if things heat up I will go
to my mom's place which is basically next door
but I'm still worried about the costs
.
Michael: what are you thinking about?
Me: nothing
Michael: tell me so we can fix it together
Me: (looking at my ring) I'm just worried about
the wedding costs
Michael: (exhaled) I saved a few grands this past
few years for this day. I'm sure it will be enough
for the Lobola and the wedding
Me: how much is it
Michael: R150k. I know it will cost a lot since
you're going to be a doctor soon
Me: I'm sure they will give you a reasonable price
Michael: I hope so. The last thing I need is
embarrassing you on your special day
Me: I know
.
We arrived and I was warmly welcomed by his
mother and other siblings. His mother loved me
like I was her daughter maybe its because she
was my mom's best friend. They were all excited
about us getting married
.
Her: I'm just happy that my son is marring the
most beautiful and intelligent girl around here
Michael: you should be. I worked hard to get her
to agree being your daughter in law.
Her: she will treat you the way you deserve to be
treated. I'm happy you chose her
Lindi: so when will you send our Uncles?
Michael: I don't know if mom has spoken…
Her: I spoke to them and a letter was written and
delivered yesterday.
Michael: the date is?
Her: 15 October. We hope to have the full
wedding by December
Michael: this is Olivia's wedding I want her to
decide on the wedding dates no one else
Her: okay I'm sorry dear you decide
Me: December sounds perfect
Her: see
Michael: okay baby
Lindi: mmh baby?
.
We laughed. We carried on with dinner watched
TV then went to bed. Michael's mom told me to
sleep in her room while Michael went to his. I did
as I was instructed. I changed to my nightie and
got into bed. His mom came to bed and we chat
for a while till she decided to go to sleep. My
phone vibrated and I quickly put it to silence. It
was a text from Michael
.
Michael: I know the old lady is asleep sneak out
and come to me
Me: no I'm scared
Michael: don't be she won't notice anything
Me: no Michael its wrong
Michael: just two minutes to talk to you. If she
wakes up when you get in tell her you've been at
thee toilet
Me: no good night
Michael: baby come on
Me: no
.
I turned off my phone and went to sleep. The
next day I woke up early and rushed to the toilet.
I relieved myself it was still dark so I walked
back in when I felt someone pulled me back fast
covering my mouth before I could scream.
Michael: its me baby don't panic
.
I nodded, he carried me to his room and kissed
me.
.
Me: your mom could wake up any moment from
now
Michael: she wakes up at 7 and now its only 4…
relaxed
.
He lifted up my long silk nightie to my waist and
pulled down my panties then….#sealed

SOMEWHERE IN ZIMBABWE
.
Lihle looked at her boy playing with himself
screaming mom at every second he got and smiled.
He looked so much like his father, from his eyes
to his lips and his smile. When she thought about
him tears fell. She wiped them away and took him
out to the swimming pool

I stayed with the Ngwenya's for a week. After
that I went home to my mom. The Lobola
negotiations were going to take place next month
I could only hope that this doesn't get messed up
by anyone.
.
Mom: so how do you feel about being Mrs
Ngwenya soon
Me: (smiling) its overwhelming mom. I don't even
know how it feels like to be called Mrs someone
Mom: you're lucky though I feel you rushed into
this you're only 21
Me: and you were only 18 when you got married
Mom: I know I just wish you finished with your
studies first
Me: me getting married changes nothing. I will
still build you your dream house. I promised to
fulfill my dad's wishes. I won't abandon you mom
Mom: he's lucky to have you
Me: I'm also lucky to have him. I know its crazy
but these past few years I've been with him I
fell more deeply in love with him. Sometimes I'm
scared he will realise of how much I love him and
play with my feeling's. I have fallen too deep to
the point that if he leaves me I might lose it
Mom: don't say that honey
Me: I just hope he won't be my downfall
Mom: you need to stand on your own. Loving him
like this worries me
Me: I know (smiling) don't be worried
Mom: (smiling) your ring is beautiful
Me: (looking at it) I know, he specially chose it
for me his lady
Mom: (laughing) ey I still can't believe you are
marrying this boy
Me: (laughing) me too its still a shock but I love
him. He's the one.
.
We heard a car hoot I took my suitcases and
went out. Vuyo followed me carrying my phone
.
Me: Vuyo don't eat that
Vuyo: auntie where are you going?
Me: I'm going to town with Ancle Ngwenya
Vuyo: bring me sweets and a bike
Me: (taking my phone)okay my King
Michael: afternoon ma
Mom: son in-law
Michael: how have you been?
Mom: still going strong with my little one
Michael: (smiling) good we need you healthy so you
can take care of our little ones
Mom: (laughing) ey I'm getting old and nowadays
you have maids you won't need me
Michael: I don't want strangers raising my
children
Me: they are not strangers love but helpers. I will
be working full time so we need all the help we
can get
Michael: that's where our parents come in babe
Mom: (smiling) stop it you too. I get what you
meant Michael and I'm we will help there and
there.
Michael: thank you mama
Me: Goodbye mom and you Vuyo
Vuyo: bye
Mom: bye have a safe trip
Michael: thank you
.
We got in the car and drove to Johannesburg.
Michael was quite which worried me and
something was off.
.
Me: what are you thinking about?
Michael: nothing
Me: seriously?
Michael: (nervously laughing) I'm thinking about
marrying the girl of my dreams
Me: (smiling) please tell me Micky
Michael: we'll talk about it when we get home
Me: okay
.
I rubbed my ring nervously, I wondered what was
going on. The thought of him leaving me. We just
got started and we were going to be together
forever. We arrived home, he carried the
suitcases inside. I walked in the kitchen.
.
Michael: can we talk in the living room
Me: okay
.
I sat next to him on the couch. He held both my
hands shaking.
.
Me: what's going on Micky?
Michael: (sighed) well I'm having financial
problems
Me: (swallowed hard) I don't understand
Michael: I have to postpone the Lobola
negotiations
Me: but you said it yourself that you had set
aside money for the wedding only
Michael: I did but I have to use it now
Me: for what?
Michael: I can't tell you
Me: I want to be Mrs Ngwenya next month
Michael as long as you don't want to tell the
problem I won't understand
Michael: Olivia please don't make this harder
than it already is
Me: next month my Uncles will be waiting for your
family Michael, I love you don't screw things up
Michael: Sfiso stole money from Selina he got
arrested yesterday and she wants it all back
Me: (shocked) what, how much?
Michael: R200k plus he got involved in a car
accident driving Selina's car without her
permission now she wants a new car it cost R300k
so basically he owes Selina R500k. This is
stressing mom out, she got hospitalized after
hearing this
Me: okay I understand the wedding can wait. You
can also sell this ring I'm sure its worth
something big
Michael: no I will see what I can do
Me: babe were in this together
Michael: okay
.
I took off my ring and gave it to him. I hated
doing that but I had no choice. I loved this man
and I could see he was really stressed he really
loved his family.
.
Me: how much is it worth?
Michael: twenty grand
Me: its not bad. I'm sure it will cover here and
there
Michael: I love you
Me: I love you too
.
He French kissed me then stood up
.
Michael: let me go to work
Me: okay have fun
Michael: thanks
.
He forged a smile on his sad face then left for
work.

AT LIHLE'S HOTEL ROOM
.
She packed their belongings and took their
passports.
.
Lihle: Christian… Chris!
Chris: mom
Lihle: come here
.
Christian went to his mom and sat on her lap. She
took out her phone and captured a picture. She
then opened a folder with all the pictures. She
looked at them smiling missing her family
.
Chris: (pointing at a picture) daddy daddy!
Lihle: (smiling) I know baby boy. You look just like
him
Chris: miss daddy
.
Lihle became sad hearing that, she wondered if
his father was going to accept him better yet
wondered if her parents missed her at all. She
put her phone aside and looked at her boy
.
Lihle: we're going to Namibia
Chris: (smiling) Na…bia!
Lihle: yeah Namibia
.
She stood up and went to bath him then dressed
him up for the trip
.
.
AT AMOGELANG'S OFFICE
.
Michael was waiting for him to arrive. He tried
calculating everything but it didn't add up. He
needed help and he couldn't go to the bank for a
loan since he had already took one for the house.
He had to try his luck with his boss.
.
Amo: Mr Ngwenya you're back early
Michael: you know me boss. Work always comes
first
Amo: (smiling) okay how can I help you?
Michael: (clears his throat) I need a loan
Amo: you know we don't…
Michael: I'm desperate Sir. My mother is sick
and my brother got into trouble owing someone
money I don't have. My fiancée even gave me her
engagement ring to sell
.
Amo's heart pounded thinking about how far
Olivia sacrifices for the ones she love. This took
him back to the night the almost slept together,
she failed to back stabbed her friend.
.
Amo: how much?
Michael: R500 000, you can deduct it from my
salary
Amo: I'm willing to give it to you for free
Michael: (shocked) what?
Amo: you have something I value more than money
Michael so I'm willing to give you R600k for her
Michael: her… you mean Olivia?
Amo: yes I want my Olivia
Michael: she won't agree to this madness she's
not an object that can be sold to anyone
Amo: she won't agree to this I know that but its
simple you take the money and leave her without
explaining anything. I will be her shoulder to cry
on
Michael: (tearful) I can't do that to her
Amo: I love her we would have been together way
before you even decided to date her but I was
married to her friend. I lost her then but now I
won't back down
Michael: please Sir
Amo: 600k is yours if you return what's rightfully
mine. Go think about it and excuse me I have a
meeting to get to
.
Amo stood up and walked out with his bag going to
a meeting while Michael was going crazy about
making a decision
.
.
.
#20
.
.
Amogelang came back to his office to get his car
keys. He bumped on to Michael who was on his
way out.
.
Amo: I see you're still making a decision
Michael: I already have
Amo: and?
Michael: you were right Olivia is much more
valuable than money, for her to be wanted by a
man who has so much power like you its shocking
and I'm happy that she's my lady and I would be
stupid if I let go of her like that
Amo: (swallowed hard) well I kind of expected
that (smiled) good luck starving her
.
He took his car keys and left while Michael went
to his office. He took his phone and made a call.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
I walked out of the restaurant with good news. I
was about to call Micky but he called me first
.
Me: babe
Him: miss Uni
Me: I have great news
Him: okay
Me: I got a job as a waitress, the restaurant is
close to where we live so there's no need for
transport. I know it won't be much but the extra
income will help us here and there
Him: thanks babe you are one in a million
Me: (smiling) we have to stand strong together if
we pull through this we can get pass anything
together babe
Him: (smiling) I know
Me: so why did you call?
Him: I just missed you and wanted to hear your
voice it always makes me happy when I'm down
Me: all this shall pass babe
Him: I'm the luckiest guy on earth
Me: and I'm the luckiest woman on earth
Him: I love you
Me: I love you too
.
I hung up and took a taxi home. I wanted Michael
to help me get a drivers license but I threw that
idea out the window when he told me the financial
problems we were in. I love this man and I will do
anything to keep us together. Speaking about
that I have to call mom and tell him about
postponing the Lobola negotiations.
.
I got home and took a cold shower I figured it
was going to be my best friend nowadays. I wore
Michael's T-shirt then took my books and sat on
the bed reading
.
Me: (remembered) crap
.
I remembered I had to call mom. I picked it up
and called her it rang for a while till she picked up
.
Mom: sweetheart
Me: hey mom
Mom: why are you sad?
Me: I'm not sad ma
Mom: then what is wrong?
Me: I have bad news
Mom: okay let's hear it
Me: me and Michael are having financial problems
so the Lobola negotiations have to be on hold till
we are financially stable
Mom: so what must I say to your Uncles?
Me: that's why I called ma. The Ngwenya's will
write a letter apologising
Mom: do you know how angry they are going to
be?
Me: I know ma
Mom: they might even charge him double of what
they were going to ask him to pay first
Me: well we can't change the fact that we have
problems
Mom: you are not married and already you have
problems this is the first sign
Me: I don't have airtime ma bye
.
.she said nothing and hung up. I know she's angry
but I know me and Michael will pull through.
.
.
SIX MONTHS LATER
.
OLIVIA
.
A lot has happened the past six month, we
managed to get SfIso out of jail and Selina
agreed to let us pay her in monthly instalments
but one thing for sure I couldn't recognize
myself in the mirror, I was a walking skeleton. I
opened my mail box and received tons of emails
from the varsity. I have failed and people who
funded me pulled out. From getting 80% I went
down to 30%. Michael came in and sat next to me,
hugged me as I cried
.
Michael: I'm sorry my love
Me: (crying) this will kill mom plus I owe varsity
R40 000
Michael: we will figure out how to pay it.
Me: we are broke, as of now we depend on the
leftovers I bring from work. We practically have
nothing but this house. We even sold some of the
furniture
Michael: you should apply for another bursary
babe don't give up
Me: please excuse me. I need to be alone
Michael: babe..
.
I walked out to get some air.
.
.
AMOGELANG
.
I was on my way to meet a client, he was going to
show me the location that was good for building a
shop in the rural areas that's when I drove pass
by a women with a little boy. She had a bucket if
water on her head and another on her hand the
boy had a 1little plastic bottle they both looked
exhausted. I stopped the car and waited for
them
Me: morning ma how are you?
Her: I'm doing fine how are you my son?
Me: I'm good. You seem tired let me help you with
the brackets
Her: oh no don't worry I'm used to this
Me: please ma. I don't need anything in return
plus the little guy seems tired
Vuyo: I'm tired granny
Her: okay
.
I helped load the bucket at the back I was
driving my double cap hilux. She got in and I
started driving.
.
Me: my name is Amogelang
Her: I'm Dudu
Me: why are you getting water from rivers while
you have taps in your homes?
Her: this taps are just decoration. Ever since we
had them they have never gave us water. We
tried reporting and striking but still nothing
Me: this water will make you sick
Her: I know and this distance of getting water
makes me sick. I was diagnosed with cancer and I
fought it, I encourage woman to come with me to
the clinic to get tested but some can't because
they would be tired after walking a long distance
to get water
Me: yoh you're strong Mme. Maybe I can help the
community some how
Her: if you have money you can donate Jojo tanks.
They will help a lot and it even halves the number
of woman raped by the river each year
Me: this is a good coarse. I'm willing to invest in
you building your community
Her: really?
Me: yes
Vuyo: (eating chips) I want more
Me: I only got sweets now
Her: please stop the car there's Maria
.
I stopped and we helped Maria with her buckets.
I drove around till we had like 12 women in the
car. I delivered all of them to their homes. They
sent their most beautiful daughters to greet me
hoping to make a spark but I wasn't interested. I
lastly delivered to her home. It broke my heart
to see her little mud house. A woman who was so
intelligent and had so much ideas lived in a house
like that.
.
Her: (smiling) thank you son
Me: no problem. So you live alone?
Her: with my boy, my daughter is in town studying
to be a doctor and my husband passed on
Me: that's sad. Can I have your number so I can
call you about your project
Her: okay
.
She gave me her numbers after I took her
buckets in the house. I ten drove to meet the
client
.

AMOGELANG
.
He sat on his office still thinking about That
woman he met earlier. He smiled thinking of many
ways to help her but one was to build her a home.
That house was not in good condition specially
with that little boy living there. His father
walked in and caught sight of his smile
.
Him: I guess miss Olivia decided to give you a
chance
Me: (smiling) I wish
Him: still nothing
Me: (smiling) her boyfriend came to me desperate
for money and I offered to give to him if only he
let's go of Olivia but that didn't work out
Him: you're becoming too desperate
Me: that was months ago I'm sure he told her and
now she hates me more than ever but anyway
that's not why I'm smiling…(taking a glass) want
something to drink?
Him: water will do. Care to share?
Me: (pouring him water) I met an extraordinary
women today
Him: (taking the glass of water) a potential
daughter in-law I'm impressed
Me: (laughing) no no no she's too old for me
Him: (laughing) okay I'm listening
Me: well what can I say… she's passionate about
helping her community. I found her on her way
hope with buckets of water. She told me they
have no choice but to get money from the river
since the government helps them with nothing, to
add to that a lot of woman had been raped while
getting water from the river. This makes girls live
in fear, I don't even know if they got proper
counselling since the clinic is too far.
Him: what is the solution?
Me: she requested that we donate Jojo tanks to
help distribute clean water in the village and that
halves the number of rapes
Him: it's a good course
Me: she is also a cancer survivor. She encourages
woman to go and get checked at the clinic but
they would be too tired after collecting water. I
want to fund her and donate maybe 10 Jojo tanks
Him: well I will add 3
Me: I'm also thinking of bringing a psychologist
every week to offer counselling to those in need
Him: where will you put it?
Me: I'm sure I can build something little to the
piece of land I have been given. I can build a
4room and hire nurses to work there.
Him: it will cost you
Me: a hand that gives receives more. Why have so
much money and enjoy it while you can help those
who are suffering
Him: I want in
Me: (smiling) I have also spoken to some of my
friends and they want in. Another thing I want to
build her a home, where she lives its no place to
raise a child in (giving him a pic of that house) I
took it after she went in
Him: (looking at it) its not safe at all
Me: so see why I'm happy
Him: this is really good I'm proud of you
Me: thanks dad all I have to do is to call her and
make her day
Him: (smiling) you do that
.
Mr Dibuseng's phone rang, he quickly answered it
while Amogelang called Olivia's mom.
.
.
AT MICHAEL'S MOM
.
The house was beautiful. From the swimming pool
to the glass doors. The furniture was to die for.
.
Micky's mom: as you can see Darling my boy got
me a flat screen look at it on the wall
Oli's mom: its beautiful
Micky's mom: look at the tiles dear they are
expensive you will never afford them
Oli's mom: (hurt) I know
Micky's mom: let's go to the kitchen
Oli's mom: I once saw the couches at Russell
Micky's mom: (laughing) sweety these came from
geen and Richards not anyone can afford them
Oli's mom: I see
Micky's mom: look at the fridge double doors it
even pops out ice cubes
Oli's mom: you are a lucky woman
Micky's mom: I know don't worry friend your day
will come
.
Olivia's mom phone rang and she answered
.
Oli's mom: Dudu Masina ….. Yes…… has tell me
you're joking….yoh okay I'm coming thank you son
Micky's mom: who was that?
Oli's mom: I applied for a job and I have been
called for an interview
Micky's mom: don't get your hopes up, for
something big I'm sure you will be a cleaner
Oli's mom: its better than nothing. I have
children to feed
Micky's mom: okay good luck
Oli's mom: thanks.
.
She called out Vuyo was in the swimming pool with
his feet diped in the water. He went to her with
his shoes in his hands and his old car toy. They
said goodbye then Dudu went home and bathed
got dressed in her black long dress and old heels
while Vuyo wore blue jeans and white shirt with a
red Jersey. She then took a taxi to town. She
arrived at his office. She was shocked to see a
young man like owned all of that. Amogelang
welcomed her. He had that "don't mess with me
face" but was able to reduce it to "I'm friendly".
They shook hands and Vuyo did the same. Amo sat
with Vuyo on his lap and told Dudu all his plans.
She couldn't help it but cry. Among offered her
water to calm down. She finally collected herself
.
Amo: and last but not least I got my guys on the
line waiting for your permission to build you your
dream home all you have to do is say yes
Her: (tearful) yes
.
Amo took his phone and made a call
.
Voice: yes Boss
Amo: she said yes
Voice: then let me get to work
.
He hung up and smiled looking at her happy.
.
Her: thank you for everything
Amo: you're welcome and you deserve it for being
a strong carrying women.
Vuyo: that's granny
Among: let me drive you home
Her: thank you
.
They all went to his car and he drove them to a
toy store after seeing Vuyo's old toy. The first
thing Vuyo ran to was the plastic motorbike. Amo
smiled as he saw excited he was it reminded him
of himself when he was young running after the
kids with bikes in the neighborhood begging them
to borrow him. He never had expensive toys when
growing up, he was poor and had to work for food
at peoples homes with his mother, he only knew
his father when he was 16 after his mom died.
.
Amo: you should buy the little guy food and
clothes
Her: I don't have money
Amo: I will pay
.
They went to another shop and she bought a lot
of food and went to buy clothes at another shop.
She looked for a dress that Olivia would like
.
Her: this will look great on my daughter
Amo: (picturing Olivia in it) buy it if she'll like it
Her: okay
.
After she was done they went to pay then Amo
got them KFC and drove them home
.
.
#22
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S MOM
.
Olivia arrived home to be greeted by construction
worker's. All the building material was already
there. She was confused and wondered if she was
at the right house but the mud house was still the
same. She tried opening but it was locked. She
saw a Range Rover stop by the gate, her mother
with Vuyo stepped out and a face she never
wanted to see appeared.
.
Amo helped them carry out the plastic bags from
the car. The moment he sat foot in the yard his
eyes met Olivia's. He was shocked to see her so
thin, her mother was shocked to see her like
that, she no longer had that glow her eyes were
hollow. And the dress that used to tight her hang
on her body like a bag of potatoes.
.
Amo: is that your daughter?
Her: (sad) yes
Amo: she seems like a nice person
Her: she is
Amo: and she's beautiful like her mom
Her: thank you… Vuyo go put your bike inside
Vuyo: okay
.
Amogelang helped her take the bags in while
Olivia said nothing to them. Her mother opened
the door then she went straight in and didn't
come out. Amogelang didn't wanna stay too long.
After they got everything out of the car he
showed Dudu the plan of her new house and she
was happy about it after that he left.
.
Michael's mom came to the fence calling out
Dudu. She came to her
.
Micky's mom: haww Dudu I know you are
suffering my friend but a toy boy, hhay this is
not the way to do it
Oli's mom: (laughing in disbelief) to think I
thought you knew me better than everyone.
Micky's mom: there's HIV nowadays. I don't want
you to suffer
Oli's mom: he is not my Ben ten, he's helping me
build this community
Micky's mom: help us with what?
Oli's mom: I can't discuss that till everything is
finalised and I'm building this house with money I
have been saving while working
Micky's mom: I didn't mean to offend you friend
Oli's mom: no offence taken. Worry less
Micky's mom: let me go make my son her
favourite stew
.
Oli's mom saw Michael outside going to the pool,
nothing has changed he was still fit and healthy.
Michael realised she was starring and quickly
went back inside
.
Oli's mom: next time teach your son to greet
Micky's mom: (fake smile) you know boys
Oli's mom: excuse me
.
Oli's mom went inside the house and found Olivia
going up and down in the house like she was
furious about something.
.
Her: what is the matter?
Olivia: (angry) really mom, you dropped all your
pride and went to ask for a house from that rich
brat. I told you I was going to build us our dream
home didn't I?
.
Dudu gave her daughter a hot slap across the
face angry. And her eyes almost tearful.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
I could see she was angry at me. I was shaking I
had never seen her like that, did Amogelang
poison her against me?
.
Her: (harshly pointing on my chest pushing me
back) HOW CAN YOU BUILD ME A HOUSE
WHEN YOU ARE BUSY FAILING
Me: I'm not…
.
I got another hot slap this time I cried. How did
she know?
.
Her: and now you're a lier, what has this boy
turned you to
.
She went to her room and came back with letter
.
Her: I'm not stupid Olivia I always get letters
from the post office. What the hell is wrong with
you?
Me: me and Micky have been having financial
prob….
.
She dragged me to our room and opened the
window s giving me a perfect few of the house
Michael built for his mom.
.
Her: DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS TO YOU?
.
I was speechless, there it was standing tall he
stood by the balcony and blew me a kiss, my
mother looked at him and he quickly rushed back
in. She pulled me towards the mirror and I looked
at the skeleton before me.
.
Her: (tearful) where's my daughter?
Me: I don't know
Her: leave him for your own good
.
I cried, the thought of leaving him tormented me,
I loved this man with all my heart. He is my life,
mom will never understand everything I say to
her right now is just madness
.
Me: (crying) I can't
Her: dry those tears and go ask for sure from
them
Me: but…
Her: (angry) just do it
.
I rinsed my face then went to their house. It was
so beautiful and they even destroyed their old
house. I knocked and was let in by Micky's mom.
She looked me from my feet to my head it was
embarrassing.
.
Her: how can I help you dear?
Me: I came to ask for sugar
Her: come in honey
.
I walked in with the little container I had, she
didn't even bother to take it but this house had
everything that was at Michael's house when I
first got there. From the dining room chairs to
the couches and curtains. The way the kitchen
was designed the living room it was my plan. A
plan I showed him because I loved him and wanted
him I had dreams to build my mother the most
beautiful house ever.
.
Her: you are so thin are you sick?
Me: no
Her: don't be afraid to go to the clinic and get
tested. Not only will it benefit you but it will also
keep your partner safe
Me: I know
Her: so how do you feel about your mom having a
toy boy?
Me: he is not a toy boy do you know your smart
mouth can get you into trouble?
Her: I'm just calling it as it is, AIDS kills
Me: then you should be worried about your son
since he loves hitting it raw
Her: what?
.
Michael came downstairs, the moment I saw his
face I fell apart. I decided to leave and go home

OLIVIA
.
Michael ran after me and stopped me when I was
at the gate.
.
Michael: miss Uni can we talk about this?
Me: so you can lie some more
Michael: I'm sorry
Me: you stole my plan Mick… I trusted you
Michael
Michael: you can still build yours that way I mean
its not entirely like your plan and are seriously
going to argue like kids over bricks?
Me: you played me all the furniture you claimed to
have sold is right here was your brother even
arrested?
Michael: babe don't take this the wrong way this
was all a test to see if you could stay with me
through thick and thin, for better and for worse
Me: well your test cost me my future. We're done
Michael: (pulling me to him by force) you don't
mean that babe
Me: (tearful) you broke me now let me go
Michael: I love you, I know it was a stupid move
but please we can get over this together and..
Me: (trying to free my hands) let go of me now
Michael: (tightening his grip) Miss Uni
Me: let go of me
Voice: (yelling) you heard the lady let go of her
.
One of the construction man commanded with his
deep frightening voice. Michael let go and I left
and walked back home. I found mom cooking, I
knew she was still angry but I had to make things
right with her.
.
Me: I'm sorry I disappointed you mom. I'm awake
now though it seems a bit too late
Her: its never too late, you're close but yet too
far from the light with your stupidity
Me: I know
Her: I will see what I can do to raise funds
Me: I will look for a job as well
Her: (sighed) I will see what I can do. Please go
bath Vuyo
.
I took Vuyo and went to bath him after that we
had a quite dinner and went to sleep. I wish I had
sleeping pills every time I closed my eyes
beautiful memories of me and Michael showed up.
His smile, his sweet words. I knew he was a fuck
boy from high school but I thought we were over
that. I thought he was mature, I thought he loved
me. Tears fell from the edges of my eyes, I was
indeed broken.
.
.
ONE WEEK LATER
.
journalists and Members of the community came
to witness the great transformation that was
brought by Dudu Masina and Amogelang
.
Amo: I would like to thank everyone who took
their time to celebrate this great achievement
brought by Mrs Masina. As a member of the
community she saw the need of having Jojo tanks
placed in the community giving the community
safe and clean water to eat, drink and use
because all along they had been suffering getting
water from the river with is far from their homes
and close to the veld making it unsafe for women
and children. As we all know few rape cases has
been reported about that issue. After hearing
her story I wanted nothing more than to fund her
and make her dream come true.
People: (cheering in excitement) alilili!!!! …
Micky's mom: (screaming) that's my friend
Amo: thanks to people like John Stone the well
known businessman of The African dream
company and Mr Hudson from the green worl d
company plus Mr Dibuseng we managed to get the
community…
Oli's mom: (excited) 20 Jojo tanks!!!
.
The crowd scream in excitement some old ladies
even cried. This was a dream come true. Knowing
that their daughters will get water from a place
that is safe and having not to worry about them
being raped put their hearts at ease.
.
Amo: I will leave everything to the lady
Oli's mom: thank you everyone. I want you all to
know I'm doing this because I love my community
and what has been happening affected me in some
way. I would like to thank everyone who donated
to us and I beg you all to take care of it all. This
comes once in a life time.
.
They screamed clapping hands her.
.
Amo: there's more, we will open offices where I
will bring in Social workers or psychologist for
people who are dealing with a lot and someone to
talk to. Plus bring in nurses to help patients who
need urgent help since the hospital is too far but
that is on hold. We will celebrate once everything
is set
.
They clapped hands screaming in excitement.
.
Oli's mom: there's free food for everyone please
have fun
.
People went to get food while Amo scanned the
crowd hoping to see Olivia but she wasn't there
.
Amo: (whispering) where is your daughter doesn't
she want to rejoice her mother's achievement?
Oli's mom: she's going through a lot, she chose to
stay at home
Amo: its not safe to be at home while everyone is
here
Oli's mom: yoh and I told her let me…
Journalist: Miss Masina, I'm Veronica Cube from
SABC news I would like to ask you a few questions
about your project
Oli's mom: I…
Amo: don't worry I will go check on her
Oli's mom: thanks
.
Amo took his car and went to Olivia's home.

This past week reality hit me hard. I hated how I
looked and Michael didn't even bother to call to
at least check if I'm okay or what. The stress
about my studies made me eat like a pig, though I
was happy I was gaining a bit people were starting
to gossip about me being HIV. I had to bring back
my body to its normal size. Vuyo played by
himself till he slept on the kitchen floor, I picked
him up and placed him on the couch then heard
someone knock. Well a few man and women were
outside building the house so I wasn't scared. I
opened and quickly tried to close the door seeing
Amo he pushed me back in and entered closing
the door.
.
Me: leave mom is not here
Him: I'm here to see you
Me: wow so that dickhead Michael dumps me and
you decide to come take advantage
Him: Bubbles
Me: (angry) don't you dare call me that, I know
what you did, I know you wanted Michael to
exchange me for money. I hate you
Him: (softly) I'm sorry
Me: get out
Him: (looking at Vuyo asleep) don't make noise
.
Threw a pot at him but he caught it and placed in
down not making noise. I got more angry and
threw more. He quickly came to me and lifted me
up to the old table in the kitchen. He held both
my wrist behind my back standing between my
legs.
.
Amo: stop it
.
He let go and lifted me up, I felt his boner and
crazy thoughts came in like crazy as my V-jay got
wet. I grinded myself on him why am I even
feeling like this?
.
Amo: (smiling laying me on the bed) I see what
you're doing and you're not going to get it
Me: mxm your imagination is running wild I see,
leave I want to sleep
Amo: I'm not leaving
Me: (tearful) just go
Amo: talk to me Bubbles
.
I looked the other way and closed my eyes falling
asleep.

I opened my eyes and saw Amo putting on his
shirt. I have to say I was surprised to see he had
tattoos, what am I even saying rich kids get
tattoos all the time. He looked at me and smiled
for no reason.
.
Me: when did you take off your clothes?
Amo: not clothes but shirt and shoes and no I
didn't do anything to you
Me: I didn't ask you that
Amo: you didn't have to, I have to go
Me: where's Vuyo?
Amo: he's out outside with the construction
workers
Me: okay
Amo: I still think you need someone to talk to it
might not be me but you need to let things out
Me: I don't want to talk about anything, I got
betrayed by Michael now I need revenge
Amo: picking yourself up and not sleeping your
problems away might be the best revenge ever
Me: I didn't expect that from a thug
Amo: a thug?
Me: man with tattoos are or have once created a
crime
Amo: (smiling) so I turn you off
Me: yep
Amo: all the tattoos I have, have a story to tell
Me: tell that to all other rich kids
Amo: (smiling) you seriously don't know me
Mer: what's there to know except your arrogance
and cheap act of kindness
Amo: one day you will get to know the real me
.
Vuyo rushed in smiling, what's up with him, he's
always happy around Amo. He leaned down and
kissed my forehead then went out with Vuyo. He
left him at the gate and drove away
.
.
THREE WEEKS LATER
.
I had made up my mind to asked for amogelang's
help for me to get back at school. I took a taxi to
town. I arrived hungry and decided to go get
something to eat and pads
.
.
AT SHOPRITE
.
Michael was shopping with his cousin when they
saw Olivia buying herself sanitary towels. She
then bought herself pie, burgers and ice cream
with a packet of Doritos.
.
Sfiso: at least she's not pregnant
Michael: I dont want to talk about this
Sfiso: I didn't think things were going to end
between you two, what were you even thinking
cheating on your fiancée
Michael: I was going to hit and run man, I didn't
plan to fall for her
Sfiso: you fell for her that deep?
Michael: to a point that I let go of good money
just for her, I didn't mean to hurt her I really
loved her but she's uncontrollable. I want a house
wife not someone with qualifications. Olivia was
not going to agree to be in a polygamy, I know
her. Yes I lost a lover and a friend but what's
done is done
Sfiso: the thing is you judged before talking to
her about it
Michael: even if she agreed what about Zodwa?
Sfiso: just because she's your fiancée doesn't
mean you can't dump her
Michael: she's carrying my baby
Sfiso: you're complicated
Michael: its simple I was in a relationship when I
met Olivia I planned to hit and run then it didn't
work. My girlfriend found out and told me to
leave her if I didn't she was going to commit
suicide with the baby. Olivia wouldn't have stayed
as this would have destroyed her. I decided to
starve her till she leaves me but instead she
stayed
Sfiso: wow
Michael: so if you want to judge me for my
actions its fine but the damage is already done.
Now let me live my life in peace
Sfiso: sure bro let's go and pay
.
Sfiso pushed the trolley, they paid for everything
then went back home
.
.
OLIVIA
.
I walked into his office led by his P.A . he was
still on the phone talking to one of his clients he
called me in using his hand commending me to sit
down. I sat down and waited for him to finish. He
put the phone down and paid attention to me.
.
Him: Bubbles
.
I don't know why but I found myself laughing at
the name, he quietly looked at me and I looked
down embarrassed.
.
Him: you're beautiful when you laugh
Me: (tugging my weave behind my ear) thank you
Him: so why are you here?
Me: I need to get back to school Amo
Him: what's holding you?
Me: money
Him: now you want money from the thug?
Me: please Amo I'm desperate
Him: and what do I get in return?
Me: Amo I'm not ready to…
Him: not everything is about sex Bubbles, though
I have to admit striping you naked and muff you
is really tempting
.
I got wet hearing the word muff.
.
Him: but I won't do that to you
Me: (but I want you to) I understand
Him: next week were opening the center with
your mom. I want you to be there for her and
show support if you don't show up I will fuck you
.
I got a bit excited down there, what was wrong
with me? Am I really diner with Michael for me
not to even think about him anymore on the other
hand I'm lusting over Amo, getting wet when I'm
around him. Maybe I should just have fun for a
while. I mean I tried being a good girl and what
did I get?.
.
Him: (gave me his keys) go to my house and tell
the maid to direct you to my room where you will
find a green box in the closet green box
Me: (taking them) okay
.
I took the keys and I was driven by one of his
drivers. I got there and was let in by Sara
.
Me: how are you Sara?
Sara: (hugging me) I'm fine Miss Masina it has
been long
Me: (smiling) I know. I have been sent by
Amogelang
Sara: yes let me show you his room, he called I
hope you have the key
Me: yes
Sara: come
.
This house reminded me of Lihle somehow, where
was she? Doing what?. I pushed away the
thoughts and unlocked the door. Sara left me and
I walked in alone, the box was at the bed. I
opened it and found a beautiful long green dress
it was my size with black heels. Talk about being
surprised. I tried it on and I looked amazing. My
phone rang
.
Me: hello
Him: did you get it?
Me: its beautiful thank you
Him: good now leave my room
Me: you wish
He laughed and hung up maybe he wasn't a bad
guy after all.

OLIVIA

I was actually on my way home when I met Lucy
she was one of my friends who were lucky to go
do medicine in Cuba. Great thing is that she has
not forgotten about me. She saw me and rushed
to hug me giving me kisses it was weird. She was
thick and I felt like her kid, so full of joy and
very active. We had went to KFC and ordered.
.
Lucy: ey you have changed
Me: really, I think you're the one that changed
Lucy: (laughing) I'm still the crazy fat girl and
you're more of a skeleton
Me: (laughing) you you always have something to
say about my body
Lucy: I'm lucky you never take it personal like me.
People get offended by all sort of stuff
Me: (laughing) well not me
Lucy: so still keeping yourself pure for that
celebrity?
Me: what Celebrity?
Lucy: Moses…Amos who is he?
Me: (laughing) I don't know what you are talking
about
Lucy: I told you that was just a fantasy, I'm glad
you got chowed
Me: the first guy was just argh I don't even
wanna talk about him
Lucy: Rumors say you fucked Micky boy
Me: (sighed) oh that, he showed me flames
Lucy: how can you invest your feelings to a fuck
boy?
Me: I thought he changed
Lucy: that might change when he's 35 or 40.
Me: I don't want to be fucked by the whole town
I want to settle down
Lucy: how old are you?
Me: 21
Lucy: and you're thinking about settling down. I
see you're still watching Disney cartoons.
Me: (laughing) come on
Lucy: so there's no guy you like right now?
Me: there is but its too soon
Lucy: just live a little don't commit to anyone
Me: (sarcastically) HIV loves commitment
Lucy: who doesn't know Condoms, just let loose
come on
Me: well I have been thinking about going with
the flow
Lucy: don't think just go… if you wanna fuck the
new guy just fuck him. Just make sure he doesn't
poke the baby to dearth
Me: (confused) what baby?
Lucy: do you seriously think we can't see you're
glowing and growing a bit off ass and you just ate
all the 12 pieces on your own
Me: maybe its the injection
Lucy: yeah maybe, aren't your breast sore?
Me: no they're not
Lucy: oh my bad. I'm sorry
Me: (fake laugh) its cool
.
A tall slender white make came to us.
.
Him: hello ladies
Us: hey
Lucy: Oli thus is my man Caleb, Caleb this is my
friend Oli
Me: (shook hands) nice to meet you
Caleb: nice to meet you too
Lucy: is everything ready?
Caleb: yeah let's go see our little one
Me: (shocked) oh my God you're expecting
Lucy: yeah
Me: (stood up and hugged her) wow I'm happy for
you
Lucy: (whispered to my ear) it was a mistake
.
We both laughed while looked at us confused.
They then said goodbye and left. I felt my breast
and gosh they were sore. I went to Jet and got
myself a pregnancy test at the counter. I then
went back home.
.
Thank God my mom was not home. I quickly did
what the instructions instructed and waited for
the results. I can't be carrying that dumm ass
niggars babe no. I looked at it and there was only
one line
.
Me: (smiling) thank God
.
I burned everything, the last thing I need is mom
stressing out over this. I went to get something
to eat and watched videos on YouTube.
.
THE FOLLOWING WEEK
.
The event took place at Amo's house. My mom
and other members of the community were there.
Amo being the man of the show started with his
boring speech. Everyone clapped hands for him
after he was done my mother went up and said
her piece. He stood behind me with his arms
around my waist
.
Amo: you're Beautiful
Me: I know
Amo: (laughing) love the confidence but you're
still bubbles. Simple , delicate and fragile as ever
Me: so you say
Amo: I have already paid. Next year you will
resume with your studies
Me: (happy) really?
Amo: I don't lie about serious stuff
Me: thank you, thank you
.
I turned around and hugged him. This was the
best news ever
.
Amo: but you have to do something in return
Me: (worried) what?
Amo: you have to volunteers at the newly built
clinic after your studies
Me: no problem
Amo: so far you have to decide whether you will
go back full time or do distance learning
Me: okay
.
We clapped hands for mom as she came down
after delivering her speech and another business
man gave his speech.
.
.
Amogelangs father stood next to Oli's mom
sipping his wine.
.
Him: its unbelievable you still look so beautiful
and classy after so many years
.
She looked at him and smiled then paid her
attention back to the speaker, sipping her juice
.
Her: still a smooth talker I see Richard
Him: what happened?
Her: life happened
Him: if you chose me…
Her: I didn't now let's not waste time dwelling on
the past
Him: (smiling) I see you're still a tough cookie
Her: and you're still stupid
Him: watch your mouth
Her: and still bitter I chose Stan not you
Him: that doesn't change I was your first. That's
one memory of us you will never forget
Her: why would I, your cheeks were still intact to
your face then
Him: (laughing) and your tits always pointed at me
Her: (laughing) we're too old for this
Him: (looking at Olivia) she should have been my
daughter
Her: I'm glad she wasn't other wise your family
would have killed her like they killed our first
born
Him: (heart beating fast) they didn't do it
deliberately
Her: the doctor said it wasn't safe
Him: where's Vusi. Your son with Stan?
Her: he died years ago. I don't want to talk about
it
Him: I hope our children won't follow our steps.
Her: love will lead them
Him: like it did to you
.
Oli's mom said nothing and drank her juice looking
the other way

OLIVIA
.
I looked at mom and Amo's dad they talked to
one another, it was as if they knew each other, I
had never seen mom smile like that well that was
before my father died. Even though she smiles
with us her children it was never the same smile
she had while my father was still alive the very
same smile she has right now with Amo's daddy.
.
Amo: (kissing my neck) what are you thinking
about?
Me: I think your dad is hitting on my mom
Amo: (looking at him and smiling) I see nothing
wrong with that
Me: if they were to date that makes me and you
brother and sister
Amo: good thing he's married isn't it
Me: but I still don't want him anywhere near my
mom
Amo: jealous?
Me: I'm not just looking out for her
Amo: your mom is a mature woman she can make
her own decisions
Me: (pulling away from him) let me go talk…
Amo: (pulling me back) no bubbles what's wrong
with you?
Me: (trying to free myself) Amo let me go
Amo: stop being childish
Me: I can't believe you just said that
Amo: I call a spade a spade
Me: fine then let me go get fresh air
Amo: fine but don't ruin your mom's perfect day
Me: I won't
Amo: good
.
He let go of me and I went out. Collecting myself
.
Meanwhile inside….
.
Oli's mom went to get herself something to drink.
Amo went to have a little chat with his father.
.
Amo: tell me something I don't know
Him: (smiling) what?
Amo: you and Mrs Masina smiling like teenagers
Him: just an old friend
Amo: old friend huh?
Him: yes old friend
Amo: well I'm in love with her daughter
Him: (petting his shoulder) worry not you're not
siblings
Amo: (exhaled) leave her alone, Olivia doesn't like
you getting cousy with her mom
Him: I won't be told by a kid what to do
Amo: she's not a kid…
Him: so is her mother, she's makes her own
decisions
Amo: just remember that you're married
Him: and so are you
Amo: it's different
Him: I'm you're father not a little boy. I know
what I'm doing and you can relax about the
cheating issue. I love my wife too much
Amo: thank you
.
Oli's mom came back with a drink for Amo's dad.
.
Her: Amo where's Oli?
Amo: she went out for some air let me go check
on him
Her: okay
.
Amo went out to check on her while Oli's mom
looked at Richard for answers.
.
Him: (looking away) what?
Her: what was that about?
Him: nothing just having a father and son chat
Her: good to hear. Here's your drink
Him: (taking it) thank you
.
He sipped it looking away avoiding Dudu's stare.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
I took out the pregnancy test from my purse and
looked at it again, and it had not changed. I was
pregnant Michael's baby. I took it back to my
purse as I began to be emotional. Amo came out
and sat next to me outside at the bench. I felt
lost for a moment, never did I ever pictured that
love makes you have fucked up feelings, I am
going to be a mom the last thing I need is to be
played with again. I felt my little bump it was
hard and weird
.
Amo: are you?
Me: (tearful) yes
Amo: can I?
Me: yes
.
He placed his hand on my belly. His face was
blank. I didn't know if he was happy or not but I
knew me and him could never be. It was going to
be hard for him to raise another man's child.
Right now what is important is for me to get my
degree and take care of my baby.
.
Me: I guess this is where it all ends
Amo: I love you, this changes nothing.
Me: Amogelang…
Amo: I know this will mean facing Michael…
Me: I don't want him anywhere near me and my
child. I will race him or her on my own
Amo: he is the father he has every right…
Me: this baby is yours
Amo: (kissing my forehead) okay let's not fight
Me: please take me home
Amo: okay let's go.
.
Amo drove me home when we got there Sihle the
girl hired to look after Vuyo opened for us.
.
Sihle: you're back early
Me: I know, you can go home now. I'm sure mom
paid you
Sihle: (looking at Amo) I don't mind staying a bit
longer
Me: no its fine. I need to be with my boyfriend
alone
Sihle: okay
.
Amo went straight to my room while I waited for
her to leave standing by the door.
.
Sihle: let me go get my handbag
Me: okay
.
She disappeared to my room.
.
AT OLIVIA'S ROOM
.
Amogelang saw Sihle come in, she smiled while
Amo looked at her confused.
.
Sihle: I just came to tell you that, you're really
hot and that if ever you need me to please you, I
will be at your service
Amo: what?
.
She turned around facing the mirror and lifted up
her dress with one leg placed on one of the
drawer. She moved aside her panty and spread
her butt cheeks wide exposing her little pussy
hole. Amogelang got hard starring at it, he
wanted nothing more than to destroy it. It had
been a while since he fucked a woman.
.
He last did it 4 months ago with a prostitute. She
fixed herself and took her bag next to Amo. The
thought of pushing her down on the bed and
fucking her came but he pushed it away. She felt
his boner and had that look of shock in her face.
.
Sihle: (shaking) ummh forget about what I said
Amo: you started this and trust me you will finish
it
.
She quickly took her bag and went out while Amo
went to the bathroom to mastubate.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
Sihle quickly rushed to the door coming from my
room as if she had seen a ghost.
.
Me: are you okay?
Sihle: (shaking) I'm fine bye
Me: bye
.
She went out and I locked the door after that I
was so hungry I went to get myself something to
eat. After that I checked on Vuyo in his room and
found him asleep. Our new house was very
beautiful I had no words to describe how greatful
I was to Amo. I went to my room and found Amo
playing a game on his phone. I went to change to
my pyjamas then joined him in bed. He put his
phone away letting me rest my head on his chest
till I fell asleep.
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
Amogelang went to see his father at his hotel
room to discuss Olivia's pregnancy. He knocked
and was let in by his father who was already
dressed like he was going some where. He sat
down and was offered coffee the told his father
everything
.
Him: so are you ready to be a step father
Amo: not a step but a father. I love her and
what's hers its mine
Him: this is a really big step
Amo: I know but I will pull through. I have
already lost her once, I won't let it happen again
Him: well the decision is yours though I don't
know how you are going to keep the baby hidden
from the real father
Amo: we will simply tell him its mine
Him: and you think he will just smile and believe
you?
Amo: what are you actually implying?
Him: the moment he sees her pregnant he will
demand a DNA test
Amo: Olivia really doesn't want him to know
Him: for a man that grew up not knowing his
father I find it hard you agree to this
Amo: I don't like the idea but there's plenty of
time to make her understand why it's Important
for kids to know their fathers
Him: good. Right now I suggest you leave S.A and
come with her to Botswana
Amo: who will deal with my businesses here
Him: the CEO's you have hired. You can come
back once the baby is born plus this gives you
time to connect with your woman
Amo: ( sighed) you're right
Him: if you keep her here this boy might get back
into his life using the baby and that puts your
relationship in jeopardy when it just started
Amo: I understand. Where are you going?
Him: home, you can tell me when you two are
coming so your mother can prepare for you
Amo: (smiling) thanks for the offer but we will
stay at my house in Main
Him: (smiling) I see, well I got a flight to catch at
10:30
Amo: okay let me not keep you here old man
.
He stood up and shook hands with him. Then got
help from the staff taking his luggage to the car.

AT OLIVIA'S HOME
.
Dudu was cleaning the stove when a call from an
unknown number came in. She first ignored it but
it rang again till she decided to pick it up.
.
Dudu: hello
Voice: hello beautiful its Rich
Dudu: (smiling) and where did you get my
numbers?
Richard: (laughing) that one of the reasons you're
single. You're called by a handsome man and the
first thing you ask is where he got your number
Dudu: you still have not answered my question
Richard: from a source I cannot reveal, though I
have to say I'm disappointed you have no
Facebook I was hoping to glare at your pictures
all day
Dudu: Facebook is for kids Rich
Richard: come on they most intelligent girl now
speaks like a granny
Dudu: let me remind you I am old
Richard: since when is thirty something old,
you're not even forty
Dudu: what do you want Richard
Richard: let's go out and have lunch together
Dudu: I don't have lunch with married man
Richard: who said I'm married?
Dudu: you're seriously going to play dumb with me
Richard: tell me the name of the woman I married
Dudu: (laughing) its Mrs Dibuseng
Richard: (laughing) you always play hard to get.
Reminds me of the first time I asked you out and
well you just ran away
Dudu: I was a kid
Richard: a very smart kid you got to varsity at

Dudu: and met dick heads like you. Fell pregnant
the same year and you know what happens next
Richard: can we not talk about that
Dudu: I have to go
Richard: I never stopped loving you
Dudu: tell that your wife
.
She hung up and smiled to herself. Olivia came to
the kitchen and looked at her with a curious face.
.
Dudu: what?
Olivia: what's going on between you and Mr
Dibuseng?
Dudu: nothing
Olivia: he is a married man
Dudu: (pissed off) and you think I don't know
that huh?. I'm your mother I gave birth to you
not the other way around. I know better so don't
you dare treat me like I'm your kid
Olivia: I'm So…
.
Olivia felt everything come up, she quickly rushed
to the bathroom and kneeled down at the toilet
and vomited. Her mother came behind her and
watched her vomiting. After she was done she
stood up flushed the toilet and went to rinse her
mouth. She looked at her mother in mirror
.
Dudu: how far?
Olivia: I don't know
Dudu: do you even know the father?
Olivia: its Michael, me and Among never had sex
Dudu: how can you be so stupid Olivia, why didn't
you use protection?
Olivia: I'm sorry
Dudu: (tearful) my wish was to see you in that
graduation gown. Was that too much to ask for
Olivia: (crying) I'm sorry mom
Dudu: if Amogelang didn't give me a job how were
we going to take care of this child you're
carrying? You know we depend on Vuyo's grant
Olivia: Amo agreed to raise him as his own
Dudu: when will you stop depending on a man?
Olivia: he's my boyfriend ma
Dudu: I give up, I'm sure your father is turning on
his grave
Olivia: (tearful) please don't say that
Dudu: get yourself cleaned up were going to the
doctor
.
Dudu went to the kitchen and called Sihle.
.
Sihle: ma Masina
Dudu: hello sweetheart I need you to babysit
Vuyo for me
Sihle: ummh I don't know about that
Dudu: I will pay R120. I will be only gone for a
couple of hours. Plus you can cook yourself
something with Vuyo
Sihle: okay I'm coming
Dudu: thank you.
.
Dudu waited for Olivia to get ready. She
remembered she did not bath Vuyo and went to
bath him. After that she fed him cereal and left
him to watch cartoons. Sihle arrived.
.
Dudu: just in time
Sihle: (smiling) morning ma
Dudu: morning dear, I have already bathed and
fed him
Sihle: okay
Dudu: (giving her money) here's your money. I will
not take time okay
Sihle: okay
Dudu: Vuyo my boy, granny is going somewhere
leaving you with sister Sihle. Behave okay
Vuyo: (nodding) bring me chocolate
Dudu: (kissed her forehead) okay my boy
.
Olivia came from her room in sweatpants and a
boyfriend T-shirt on. She took her phone and
realized it had low battery.
.
Olivia: please charge it for me
Sihle: okay
Dudu: (looking at Olivia) let's go
.
Olivia followed her mother out. Sihle watched
them go and joined Vuyo watching TV.
.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
Amogelang was on his way to see Olivia about
them moving to Maun. He tried to call her but it
was off. He packed his car in the yard and went
to knock. Sihle opened the door and was
frightened to see him.
.
Amo: (smiling) hi
Sihle: hi
.
Vuyo ran to Amo the moment he heard his voice.
Amo carried him up getting inside, Amo was a tall
guy and very Muscular. The shirt he was wearing
pressed against his abs making him far more
irresistible.
.
Amo: how are you little man?
Vuyo: good… I wanna play outside
Amo: go ahead boy
Sihle: don't go too far Vuyo
Vuyo: I'm going to play with Samkelo
Sihle: okay
.
Vuyo ran out while Sihle looked at Amo wondering
why he was here.
.
Amo: is Olivia around?
Sihle: no she left with her mom earlier
Amo: why doesn't she answer her phone then?
Sihle: (remembered) oh I forgot she told me to
charge it
Amo: oh
.
Sihle went to look for it at the couch it fell down.
She bent down and her little pink dress shifted
up revealing her ass. Amo remembered what she
showed him yesterday and got hard. She turned
around and saw his boner. She got nervous and
quickly went to Olivia's room to charge.
.
Amo came in and pulled her to face him French
kissing her. She pushed him away.
.
Sihle: I don't wanna do this
Amo: how old are you?
Sihle:19
Amo: didn't you want this last night?
Sihle: I did but…
.
Amo silenced her with a kiss. He then lifted her
up and took her to a guest room and #sealed
.
.
.

OLIVIA
.
I knew it he fucked her, he fucked Sihle. How can
he do that to me. My tears dried up all I could do
was to laugh. Damn curse this hormones I should
be crying my lungs out but no, I won't cry over a
man anymore but I will teach him a lesson, I will
teach him not to mess with me.
.
Me: he will know who I am, I can be a bitch when
I want
.
He packed his car outside. I rushed out and
joined him in his car. He was not in his suit he was
just in casual clothes. Blue jeans and a Denim
shirt.
.
Me: (smiling) hi
Amo: hey
Me: Sihle told me everything
Amo: (heart pounding) everything?
Me: (smiling) yeah about you coming to see me and
finding me gone
Amo: (unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt) yeah
that
Me: getting hot are we?
Amo: huh?
Me: the weather… its really hot
Amo: (clearing his throat) yeah really hot
.
I looked at him smiling, I was good at this he was
sweating and looking away from me or so I
thought.
.
Amo: so where were you?
Me: we went to the doctor to check on the baby
and everything is going well
Amo: (smiling) great
Me: so why are you here
Amo: to see my girl (kissing my cheek) and to talk
to you about something important
Me: to talk about what?
Amo: I spoke with my father about things and he
advised me that if we want to keep this
pregnancy a secret we should move out of the
country and I thought we should both move to
Botswana
Me: that's a nice plan but I can't move my mom is
sick
Amo: come on babe, have you seen her?. She's
perfectly fine to me. That's just an excuse
Me: I can't Amo. I'm just scared. We can move to
another place here like Durban
Amo: I have businesses to take care of
Me: I know but I want to be close to my mom. I
can't just leave everything behind. You can go
Amo: the purpose of all this was to hide the baby
but I can't force you to go with me so I accept
your decision
Me: thank you
Amo: but I want you to move in with me
Me: okay
Amo: just like that?
Me: yep, what time is it?
Amo: (looked at his time and realised his watch
was not there) umm I think I forgot my watch at
home
Me: yeah I'm sure you forgot it when you put on
your clothes in a rush… to see me
Amo: (fake smile) yeah
Me: I'm going to cook dinner wanna stay for
dinner?
Amo: no no no, I'm rushing off somewhere
Me: (opening the door) don't do something I
wouldn't do
Amo: which is?
Me: its just a phrase. I saw a woman on TV saying
it to her husband, apparently she was warning him
not to cheat but then you would never cheat on
me
Amo: (fake smile) yeah I would never
Me: (kissed his cheek) got to go see you
Amo: when will you move in?
Me: next week I think
Amo: okay call me when you have decided
Me: okay
.
I stepped out and went to the house. I stood
outside the door and waved goodbye. He smiled
and waved back then drove away.
.
.
AMOGELANG
.
I had to get out of there, something is really off
here. The way she asked her questions and spoke
it was as if she knows something. I slapped myself
across the face
.
Me: come on Amo, what's fucken wrong with you
she doesn't know anything. You've done this
before and easily lied your way out of any
situation
.
But this time its different, I really love her and
its so hard to lie to her. She will leave me when
she finds out the truth and worst of all she will
be heart broken. I didn't want to hurt her it was
a moment of weakness. Why did I give in why?. I
stopped the car and stepped out getting air as
tears flooded my eyes.
.
So this is how it feels like, losing something more
valuable than money. Losing something your heart
beats for, I don't know her that much but I feel
safe around her. I can be Amogelang Dibuseng.
Not long I vowed not to date a woman who has a
child with another man. I wanted to start my own
family with that girl, be excited about our first
born but look at me now love got me breaking all
rules I had set for myself soon I will be playing
step daddy. I laughed while crying just thinking
about it
.
Me: I'm such a fool nx
.
I got back inside and drank water. I remembered
.
Me: shit my watch
.
I don't even have that girl's number. I got to find
a way to get them. I drove to the supermarket
I'm sure Oli's mom have it. I got there and it was
really busy. I went to her office and didn't find
her, I then went around looking for her the whole
shop and still couldn't find her. I took my phone
and called her. One of the female packers
answered her phone. There's no way this could be
her
.
Dudu: hello
Me: its me Amo. I'm looking for you
Dudu: well I'm packing cooking oil
.
I tapped the girls shoulder she turned around and
it was Dudu
.
Me: wow
Dudu: (smiling) I know. How can I help you
Me: I … wow you have changed
Dudu: I know Oli decided it was time I changed a
bit
Me: wow I like miss manager
Dudu: thank you. So what can I help you with? Do
you want to see the books?
Me: no I need your maid's number
Dudu: (confused) maid?
Me: the girl that took care of Vuyo when you
were gone
Dudu: oh Sihle… why?
Me: she asked me to fund her studies and my
friend is willing to help her out
Dudu: (smiling) you're such a gentleman
Me: (fake smile) just helping the community
Dudu: (texted them to me) there you go
Me: (receiving the message) thank you. Enjoy your
day
Dudu: (smiling) you too
.
I went back to my car and made a call.

AT SIHLE'S HOME
.
She was cleaning the house when a call from her
cousin came in. She ran to her room and locked
the door
.
Her mom: Sihle I want to find the house clean
when I get back!
Sihle: yes Ma!
.
She heard her leaving the house then her Aunt's
car parked outside. Her mother got in then it
went away.
.
Sihle: about time you called
Her: just because we have a shop around home
doesn't mean I'm always loaded with airtime
Sihle: mxm anyway guess who's not a virgin
Her: (excited) no you didn't
Sihle: (laughing) yes I did and guess who I did it
with
Her: SBU
Sihle: geez I don't deal with small timers.
Her: who then?
Sihle: Mr Amogelang Dibuseng
Her: (shocked) thee Mr Dibuseng, the celebrity?
Sihle: yes the one and only
Her: (laughing in disbelief) hhay you are dreaming
Sihle: (laughing) we did it
Her: where, phela rumours say that guy belongs
to Oli
Sihle: (laughing) I was babysitting Vuyo
Her: (laughing) you bitch, so how was it did you
bleed? Did it hurt? Tell me how big was he?
Sihle: I didn't bleed but it was really painful like
my cookie was split into two
Her: (shocked) yoh
Sihle: his really big like a cucumber but bigger
than that
Her: yoh and it got in, in that little hole
Sihle: yeah like the head was big I ended up
crying
Her: did he stop?
Sihle: he said it will hurt more if he takes it out.
My cookie was on fire and he likes pushing it too
deep
Her: yoh, was he romantic?
Sihle: umm yeah
Her: so there were candles and he did it slow
right?
Sihle: we had no time for all that
Her: so he just had casual sex with you
Sihle: there's nothing special with having candles,
I mean at the end of the day the dick will be
inside you whether there's a candle or not
Her: yoh
Sihle: but though it hurt I handled it like a pro.
At first I whined a lot but later I took the pain
like a woman
Her: yoh Mina I would cry
Sihle: I walked out with my pussy all sore and…
.
She heard a beep sound.
.
Her: and?
Sihle: I got an incoming call can you hang up?
Her: sure I will call you later for more
Sihle: okay.
.
She hung up then Sihle answered the call.
.
Sihle: hello
Amo: Sihle it's Amo
Sihle: (smiling) hi
Amo: did you tell anyone what happened?
Sihle: no we both agreed it stays between us
Amo: good, I think I left my watch at the guest
room. I need you to get it for me
Sihle: I'm sure you can buy yourself a new one
Amo: Olivia knows that watch and if she finds it
in the guest room we're in trouble
Sihle: Amo I…
Amo: just get the watch I will pay you
Sihle: I don't need your money I just…
Amo: get me the watch if I lose her it will be your
fault and I will never forgive you
Sihle: what?
Amo: go get the watch today. I will call and tell
you where you must bring it
Sihle: okay
.
He hung up and Sihle stood up and took her
handbag as it was getting late and made her way
to the Masina's.
.
.
AT THE MASINA'S
.
Olivia ate her food with Vuyo while Dudu was busy
smiling to her phone. Her food even began to be
cold.
.
Richard: (text) you look hot in those jeans
Dudu: well thank you Rich
Richard: I'm serious if I had to go back in time it
would be you
Dudu: (blushing) too bad it's not, I still can't
believe you married that bitch, she used to bully
me I feel so betrayed
Richard: I'm sorry love but you left me with no
choice
Dudu: I see nothing funny there
Richard: she was a rebound. I used her to get
over you but I guess she was good in bed like you
so I got stuck with her
Dudu: her pussy got chilli mine is sweet
Richard: that's crazy
Dudu: does she by chance walk in the bathroom
while you're taking a shower and kiss you running
her hands on your body and taking your manhood
slowly stroking it with her hands while kissing you
Richard: Dudu don't
Dudu: its just harmless fun
Richard: give me a sec
.
He checked where his wife was and saw her
watching TV. He then rushed to their bathroom
and locked the door then pulled down his pants
.
Richard: continue
Dudu: where were we again?
Richard: the part where you stroke my guy
Dudu: oh not me but your wife, she she then goes
down on her knees and slowly puts it on her
mouth, sucking it
.
Richard groaned, stroking his hard dick imaging
Dudu doing all that to him. Feeling her warm
mouth and her tongue
.
Richard: shit you're good
Dudu: she put more of it in gagging on it, she does
it looking at his eyes her goal is to please her
king. She let's him push more further deep
throating her ass she could do is to roll her eyes
and play with her pussy
.
Richard stroked himself hard and felt it come. He
stood up and released at the toilet. His wife
banged the door
.
Her: Richard why is the door locked?
Richard: I'm coming don't break it
Her: open now!
Richard: I'm coming.. (Texted Dudu) you're gonna
pay for making me cum like that
Dudu: Mrs Dibuseng starving you?
Richard: I really missed you crazy bunny
Her: (yelling) Richard open the door now are you
with a woman?
Richard: (texted Dudu) got to go wifey going
crazy now
Dudu: I don't give a damn about her, bye
.
She put her phone aside and looked at her
daughter who was waiting for a response.
.
Dudu: what did you say again?
Olivia: ever since you got facebook mom you're a
stranger and its only been one day
Dudu: is that the question?
Olivia: aargh you know what I'm done
.
They heard the door bell.
.
Dudu: go get the door. I'm not hungry let me go
to bed now
Olivia: Vuyo needs a bath ma
Dudu: Vuyo let's go
.
Vuyo got of the chair and followed her while
Olivia went to open the door. She saw Sihle and
smiled. She had long expected her.
.
Olivia: Sihle what a lovely surprise
Sihle: hi ummh is your mother around?
Olivia: she just went to bed how can I help you?
Sihle: I lost something when I was babysitting
Vuyo
Olivia: something like?
Sihle: my friends watch. (Scratching her head) I
wore it that day
Olivia: I cleaned the house and didn't find any
watch
Sihle: can I check myself, maybe Vuyo misplaced
it
Olivia: okay
.
She got in and Olivia followed her to the guest
room. She searched for it everywhere and got
nothing.
.
Olivia: maybe you forgot it at home. Go look for it
at home, I'm sure the owner doesn't need it that
much
Sihle: yeah right. Thanks for letting me look for
it
Olivia: its okay next time don't leave the house
this late its dangerous
Sihle: (fake smile) I won't bye
Olivia: (walking her out) bye
.
Sihle left and called Amo on her way out
.
Amo: I hope its good news
Sihle: its not there.
Amo: shit she knows
Sihle: she doesn't, did you even look for it at your
house?
Amo: no but…
Sihle: are you serious right now?. Go look for it at
home
.
Sihle hung up and walked in home. She carried on
cleaning the cooked dinner.

OLIVIA
.
I see the game Amo is playing but I have already
planned everything. Speaking of such I have to go
to the mall and buy something something for Mr
cheater. I'm still curious about mom and this
Facebook thing. I would say it must be Mr
Dibuseng since it seems like they have history
together but he's out of the country
.
I sent her a friend request, she quickly accepted
me. I was shocked to see she had 800 friends
already and she had like 420 likes in each of her
pictures it was hilarious. She just joined
Facebook, there were few male friends. They
were 12 and I didn't know all of the but Mr
Dibuseng was there. He was offline, I put my
phone aside and took Vuyo out for shopping in
Ermelo.
.
We went to shoprite and bought a few things on
my way out Sjambocks caught my attention.
.
Me: how much is this one sir?
Him: R50 but for you R30
Me: I will take it
Vuyo: sis why are you buying it am I a bad boy?
Me: no boy this is not for you but for a big boy
that has been naughty
Vuyo: I don't want to be a big boy
Him: teaching someone a lesson?
Me: yes my man cheated on me and I want to
teach him a lesson
Him: (smiling) why don't you walk away
Me: I can't. I know this was a moment of
weakness nothing more, I just have to show him I
can be bad when I want
Him: I see
Me: (taking it) I want this one its not heavy and
its thin
Him: (putting it in a bag) there you go
Me: thank you
.
I paid then went home. When I got home I hid it
at the bottom of my suitcase and packed the rest
of my clothes.
.
.
AT MR DIBUSENG'S HOUSE IN MAUN
.
He made himself coffee, he took his tab and read
news online, he got bored and went to Dudu's
profile page hoping to find a new picture. Sadly
there was none. He viewed her profile picture and
smiled. His wife came to the kitchen his smile
caught her attention
.
Her: what are you smiling at?
Him: nothing
Her: Richard ever since you came back from S.A
you have been acting all funny
Him: then why aren't you laughing?
Her: (yelling) see this is what I mean you don't
respect me anymore
Him: no you don't respect me and how dare you
raise your voice at me like I'm your kid
Her: (looking down) forgive me my love. I'm just
worried you have been secretive these past days.
Like yesterday you still have not told me what you
were doing
Him: I was relieving myself or you wanted to see
me poop
Her: no my love but you didn't have to lock the
door
Him: I also need privacy and I thought we went
past this whole trusting thing.
Her: do you still love me?
Him: (pulling her chin up to face him) Judith I
love you, that's why we're married.
Her: you don't touch me like you used to and you
barely say these words all you ever do these days
is to stay glued to your phone
Him: (giving it to her) here check to see if I'm
cheating on you
.
She took it and opened it, she knew all the
passwords. She went to Facebook,WhatsApp and
found nothing suspicious. She gave it back to him
.
Her: I'm sorry my love
Him: can I go to work now?
Her: okay have a great day
Him: (kissed her cheek) thank you
.
He took his phones and went to his car. He texted
Dudu "morning beautiful" then delated it like he
normally does. He figured she must be asleep or
too busy to chat. He drove to work
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOME
.
OLIVIA
.
mom came back from work all exhausted. She
found me all ready to go.
.
Her: I still think its a bad idea dear
Me: mom don't worry about me. I'm old enough to
make my own decisions now. Plus I need to be
taken care off. He wanted to take me to his home
in Botswana I didn't agree, this is the least I can
do
Her: (sighed) okay dear if this is your final
decision then I can't stop you
Me: thank you, you should come visit some times
JHB is not that far
Her: (smiling) I have a store to run remember
Me: I know hot boss lady
Her: please try your best at school
Me: I will mom. This time its for real
Her: good girl
.
Someone knocked at the door, mom went to open.
Amo came and greeted her. He was surprised to
seems with my suitcases.
.
Her: I will leave you two to talk
Me: okay
.
We waited for her to exit then Amo looked at me
.
.
Him: going somewhere?
Me: yes to your house
Him: I thought you were going to move in next
week
Me: I changed my mind
Him: why?
Me: if you don't want me to move in with you its
fine
Him: (regretful) no babe I'm sorry, you can move
in anytime you like
Me: then carry my bags to my car
Him: yeah. Umm.. I lost my watch, I remember
Vuyo playing with it when I was here so he might
have misplaced somewhere around the house.
Have you seen it?
Me: nah the one I found belonged to Sihle's
friend. I gave it back to her friend. He was so
happy
Him: (coughed) you did what?
Me: (smiling) and it looked exactly like yours let
me call Vuyo so you can…
Him: no no no that won't be necessarily. Its just a
watch
Me: I thought so too. Let's go
.
He took my bags to the car we went back and said
our goodbye's to mom then we hit the road.
.
.
AMOGELANG
.
How can she not know that watch was mine, to
lose it so easily like this really pains me. It was
my everything the last gift I got from my mother
before she passed on. She saved money just for
me to have that even though we were poor. now
I'm pretty certain she knows I cheated better
yet she knows it was with Sihle , she sold it just
to hurt me, but why isn't she throwing tantrums
or crying. Isn't that what pregnant women do cry
all the time? What is she actually planning?
.
Her: stop the car
Me: (heart pounding) what?
Her: I need to buy baby oil
Me: (confused) baby oil?
Her: its for my skin, it quickly gets dry
Me: we will buy it when we get to Jo'burg
Her: (smiling) okay
.
I looked at her then back to the road. I don't
care what punishment she gives me as long as she
won't leave me.
.
Me: I love you with all my heart
Her: I know
.
My heart sank. I loved this woman but yet my
actions said otherwise.
.
Me: do you know how to drive?
Her: yes. My friend taught me I just don't have a
driver's licence
Me: you should get one soon
Her: (smiling) okay
.
I drove to town the went to buy her baby oil she
demanded 15 bottles it was strange but I bought
them then we changed seats and she drove us
home.
.

OLIVIA
.
We got home and took the bags inside. In my
mind was the plan, I have seen this before in a
movie but this was reality. I was going to deal
with him no cut but just action. I was having
second thoughts about it, I mean this could end
up pretty ugly for me. I really don't want to be
the one receiving a beating at the end of the day
though Amo doesn't seem to be a women abuser
but with men you never know.
.
Maybe I should just confront him about it and
talk things through, I managed to keep calm when
I found his watch and the condom wrapper. I can
let this go easily. He opened the suitcase to help
me unpack. I ran to him and stopped him
.
Me: (closing it) babe what are you doing?
Amo: helping you unpack
Me: that won't be necessary, I can do it on my
own
Amo: (smiling) I just want to help
Me: (smiling) I know but this I can do myself
Amo: (curious) what are you hiding?
Me: its a surprise
Amo: (forcing to open the bag) I want to see
Me: (sitting on top of it) no babe you're going to
ruin the surprise
Amo: (smiling) okay at least give me hints about it
Me: its black and Lacey
Amo: (licking his lower lip) really?
Me: yeah
Amo: can I see please
Me: (smiling) no babe come on
Amo: okay what did I do to deserve it?
Me: for being a good man, loving me and being
with me even though there are so many reasons
for you to leave me. I love you
Amo: I love you too
Me: I want us to be happy together. I pray that
you don't give in to temptation and stay truthful
and faithful to me
.
He kept quite and looked at me, I could see he
was thinking about something. I wanted him to
confess, I wanted the truth from him maybe I
can rethink this whole plan. Confess Amo confess
now. This is your chance
.
.
AMOGELANG
.
I can't confess she will leave me and I can't lose
her over this. I know this might hurt her later on
but for now I'm keeping it to myself. She's my
woman I worked hard for us to be together.
.
Olivia: so if you have anything to say say it now
.
Never confess to your woman unless she catches
you red handed. This is one rule I won't break,
this is all a trap I won't confess. The more I
don't give in to her suspicion she will let go and
we can focus on us.
.
Me: I love you and I will never cheat on you
.
She smiled and hugged me.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
This is it, I'm going through with it. I'm going to
teach him a lesson he will never forget and later
plan how I will deal with that slut. I don't care if
it ends today but next time he will think twice
about hurting a woman that loves him.
.
Me: you know if you go take a shower right now
you will find your present ready for you in 25
minutes
Amo: really?
Me: yeah and when you walk out make sure you're
naked
Amo: (taking off his clothes) I'm going to enjoy
this present
Me: I bet you are
.
I watched him go to the bathroom then exhaled
ready for action, it was now or never. I took the
baby oil and spilled it outside the door as soon as
I heard the sound of shower.
.
Me: don't come out till I tell you
Amo: okay
.
I went to the kitchen, I wasn't going to give him
just a plain beating. I was going to give him a
beating he will feel and even tell his great
grandson about. I boiled water and poured it on a
bucket. I went back to our room and placed the
sjambok in. I touched it and it was hot and ready.
.
Me: you can come out now
.
He walked out and slipped falling on the floor.
.
Amo: (shocked) what the fuck
.
I wasted no time I took it out of the bucket and
whipped him on his body. He shivered feeling the
burning sensation.
.
Amo: (rubbing where I hit him) Its hot… what's
going on?
.
He was seriously going to play dumb with me, I
got more angry
.
Me: (tearful) you fucked her
Amo: (regretful) babe can we try…
.
He tried to get up but fell.
.
Me: why?
Amo: babe listen I …
.
I whipped him again applying more force. He
screamed trying to grab it but it was hot and
slippery.
.
Amo: (tearful) I'm sorry baby… I'm sorry
.
I whipped him hard, I was so angry and tears
came out in the end. I was so tired
.
Amo: (tearful) please its enough
Me: (crying) you think you can play me huh… I
found that fucken watch and condom… I'm not
stupid
Amo: Oli… I'm sorry
.
He tried to get up, he fell again land badly
hurting his right hand. He held it up silently
crying, it broke me. I dropped everything and
gave him a towel. He crawled out of the oily pull. I
cleaned the floor then. Wiped his feet just so we
can walk to the shower. I helped him take a
shower it was my first time to day seeing naked
and God was he just breath taking I felt his hard
toned muscles and his pack.
.
The guy between his legs was hard to ignore. I
grabbed it, I thought Michael's was big but this
one that really thick with a big fat head. With no
cap on, that's how I want my man. How did that
girl even get this in? But that walk spoke a lot of
words though she tried to fake it. I became
emotional thinking about her feasting on my man.
.
Amo: (groaned pushing my hands away) I can't see
a Doctor having a boner
Me: oh I'm sorry
.
I helped him dry up. I did the same then we got
dressed and went to the doctor. He was given
painkillers and bandaged. We came back said
nothing to each other and went to bed
.

OLIVIA
.
I was waken by Amo's alarm. I turned it off and
was about to wake him when I saw all the dark
and greenish bruises on his body. My heart sank,
I have never done this before, hurting other
people was never an option to me. Why did I do
it? I don't know I guess I was very angry.
.
Me: Amo… AMOGELANG!
.
I shook him and he turned slowly showing signs of
feeling pain. I swallowed a painful lump on my
throat.
.
Amo: what?
Me: your alarm rang so I thought you should get
ready for work
Amo: (angry) how can I go to work after what you
did… look at me
Me: why are you angry? You're the one that
cheated I should be the one angry
Amo: I know what I did was wrong and I'm sorry
but that was uncalled for. You should have at
least spoke to me and hear my side of the story
Me: what I found was enough
Amo: I will let this slide but if you dare do it
again I won't hold back. I'm the man here not the
other way round. You won't turn me to a little
sissy boy in my house
Me: (mxm) I would love to see you try
.
He quickly grabbed me by my neck. Tightening his
grip, I fought him as I got desperate for air. He
let go and I got off the bed coughing
.
Amo: I'm not that soft babe, you still got a lot to
learn
Me: (coughed ) you're angry because you love her
Amo: I don't love her. I'm angry because you sold
my favorite watch when you knew exactly it was
mine
Me: (rubbed my neck) it was just a watch, you
have money you can buy more
Amo: I got that watch from my mother before
she passed on
Me: If it means that much to you I will pay to
have it replaced
Amo: (tearful) you can never replace it. It meant
everything to me, she left a message on it for me
Me: oh I'm sorry
Amo: (mxm) just get me my painkillers and that
lotion.
.
I walked to the bathroom and got him his
medicine. I applied the lotion they gave him on his
body.
.
Me: let me go make you breakfast, you have to
eat before taking your pills
Amo: okay
.
I went to the kitchen and made him 2 eggs and
luckily there was bread left. I sliced it making
triangles put the scrambled eggs aside. Then put
the plate on the tray. I poured juice for him and
put it next to his plate. Before I took the tray I
felt so crushed.
.
Was me beating him worth it?, what did he see in
her that I don't have? Is it because me and him
haven't been intimate yet, will he continue
cheating or it all ended last night? I cried. I hate
being a weakling all the choices I make never
benefit me anything. I dried them up and went up
the stairs with the tray.
.
I put the tray on the bed looking down. I didn't
want to look at him or said anything that could
make things worse
.
Amo: (pulling my hand to him) babe
.
He said requesting me to sit next to him.
.
Amo: I'm sorry for being a jerk. I know I hurt
you and I deserved the beating but it won't
happen again. I love you, she once seduced me, I
fought that but this time around I failed and I
regretted it afterwards. I love you Olivia and I
will do nothing but to worship you but you have to
know you can never lay a hand on me. I'm your
man not your kid. I don't ever want to hurt you
and this little one (touching my belly) you're the
one baby
Me: I'm sorry for hurting you too
Amo: its not okay but I forgive you
Me: I forgive you too
.
He kissed my forehead. I then fed him after that
gave him his pills. He went back to sleep. I went
to take a shower got dressed and went
downstairs. I watched TV and got bored then I
decided to go to the mall. I bumped on to Sara on
my way out
.
Me: (smiling) Sara
Sara: hi you have moved in
Me: yes
Sara: welcome
Me: thank you. I'm going to the mall can you
please check on Amo. He's not feeling well. I will
be back soon maybe after an hour or so
Sara: okay Madame
Me: just call me Olivia
Sara: (smiling) okay Olivia
Me: bye
Sara: bye
.
I went to the mall but still I felt lost. I even
wondered if all man who beat their wives feel like
I do right now. I know that Amo won't put me to
jail but still, I feel like I killed someone. I
bumped on to Lucy.
.
Lucy: look where you're going girl
Me: (fake smile) hi
Lucy: hey what's wrong?
Me: nothing
Lucy: seriously?
Me: well I did something bad yesterday
Lucy: wait let's go sit over there I'm waiting for
a friend
Me: okay
.
We went to Steers and ordered ourselves
something to eat.
.
Me: oh before I forget, you were right that day
Lucy: about?
Me: me being pregnant
Lucy: (smiling) congratulations
Me: thank you
Lucy: I guess the father is that dick head Micky
boy, I headed his getting married this weekend
Me: (shocked) getting married
Lucy: yeah but its not important you just focus on
your baby okay
Me: yeah I don't want him in his or her life
anyway
Lucy: good for you
.
A tall dark girl entered and came straight to us.
She was beautiful had curves and boobs, she just
had everything I called true beauty with less
make up on.
.
Lucy: you finally made it
Her: (laughing) don't whine I'm here now. Who's
your friend?
Lucy: Olivia this is Mia, Mia this is Oli my friend
Me: (shook hands) nice to meet you
Mia: nice to meet you too
Lucy: sit down and order
Mia: nah I'm good
Lucy: (looking at me) what tell me what's wrong?
Me: well… my boyfriend cheated on me, I found
out and well beat him up last night with a
Sjambok. Now I feel like I murdered someone,
this morning his body had black and greenish
marks
Lucy: (shocked) how did you even do that, you
have no scratch
Me: I poured baby oil on the floor he slipped and
fell then I did that
Lucy: (smiling) wow you're good… I like it
Mia: are you both for real?
Lucy: what now?
Mia: you just beat the guy that is abuse
Lucy: he cheated
Mia: that still doesn't give you the right to beat
him. Would you be happy if he did it to you
Me: no
Mia: but you expect me to have no problem with it
Lucy: there we go again
Mia: no I'm sick and tired of women Ill treating
man just because they think man can't be victims
of abuse or they think they can't be abusers just
because they are woman. Did you even think
through your plan? Did it cross your mind that he
might slip and fall on his head and die?
Me: (tearful) no
Lucy: but he cheated, who did he cheat with?
Me: a babysitter at my mom's house
Mia: that still doesn't justify your stupid actions.
Why didn't you just walk away
Me: because I love him
Mia: if that's the case you should have spoken to
him. You're both adults. Violence is not always the
answer. Your an abuser finish and klaar. People
who always opt to violence obviously lack
communication skills, did you even talk things
through with your ex before you broke up?
Me: I…
Lucy: give the poor girl a break, she regrets it.
This was a lesson he won't cheat again
Mia: you can never be sure about that. She might
have just pushed him to the girls arms
Lucy: so he cheats and you just walk away, you
talk as if its that simple
Mia: if you know your worth then it is. Always be
the bigger person. Men are also human the have
feelings
.
I couldn't take this anymore. I stood up as tears
fell down my chick.
.
Me: I have to go
Lucy: Oli wait don't.. Go
.
I rushed out there feeling bad and went home.

OLIVIA
.
I came back home and saw Sara with her friends
in the living room. I don't think they saw me
getting in. I took off my shoes and was about to
go get myself something to drink when I heard
them laughing
.
Sara: yes Lihle's friend moved in yesterday
Voice: (laughing) yoh she is strong yaz
Voice 2: but what can we say kids of today have
no respect towards anyone's marriage
Sara: sleeping in your friends bed with your
friends husband dies
Voice: she doesn't love herself and better yet
she wants people to respect her with her bitch
tendencies
Sara: Sfebe Loki
Voice 2: I wish to know her mother phela bathing
the apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Sara: I've never seen her before
Voice: what is she even saying about her daughter
sleeping with a married man?
Voice 2: you know these kids don't listen to
anything we say. I'm worried about my daughter
coming to this city for varsity next year
Voice: at least you can check on her here
Voice 2: I don't want her to do mashlalisane hhay
ngeke
Sara: talk about women down grading themselves
Voice: I think she long planned this
Voice 2: she looked at his big house and wallet
then went crazy
Sara: (laughing) ey these gold diggers
.
I walked to the living room as soon as they saw
me they kept quite
.
Sara: Madame you're back early
Me: I'm not feeling well, hello ladies
Them: hello
Me: I'm going to bed
Sara: okay do you need me to bring you anything?
Me: no nothing I'm okay
.
I went up the stairs and heard them talking again.
.
Voice: she's even lazy
Sara: the only person that can fire me is Mrs
Dibuseng or Mr Dibuseng not this Jezebel. I'm
doing her a favour by being nice
.
They laughed. Their words hit me hard, I found
myself questioning myself if I was ever going to
be happy. I thought Michael was the one for me,
we would have been happy together but there
were so many lies. Now I'm just a pregnant
abusive side chick
.
I walked into "our bedroom", he was awake
watching a movie on his laptop
.
Me: hi
Him: hey you're back early
Me: I missed you
Him: why are you still standing there then?
.
I smiled and joined him in bed. I put the laptop
aside and rested on his chest hearing his heart
beat.
.
Him: what's wrong?
Me: nothing
Him: where were you?
Me: I went out to the mall and met Lucy a friend
of mine and Mia Lucy's friend
Him: then what happened?
Me: nothing it was boring
Him: that's why you have been crying?
Me: no Sara has her friends downstairs
Him: I know
Me: aren't you worried they're going to steal
things from you?
Him: they won't
Me: well I don't like them
Him: so
Me: I don't want them here
Him: what's going on babe, what did they say?
Me: nothing
Him: tell me so I can solve it
Me: I heard them gossiping calling me a slut and
gold digger. (Tearful) and that I have no shame
dating my friends husband
Him: I will deal with her
Me: I think I should go back home
Him: no babe I want you here with me
Me: I don't feel comfortable sleeping in this bed.
The very same bed you shared with Lihle
Him: come on babe
Me: can you please rent me a house to stay
Him: no Bubbles I want you here
Me: well I don't want to stay here, its either I go
back home or live somewhere else
Him: okay fine you look and I will pay but it must
not be too far from me
Me: okay thank you
.
I kissed his chest happy. We laid there till I fell
asleep
.

AT DUDU'S HOUSE
.
She finished bathing Vuyo and dressed him in his
pyjamas.
.
Vuyo: Gogo I want milk
Her: uzolithola after I'm done here
Vuyo: (sulking) oh
Her: (smiling) with that attitude you won't
Vuyo: (smiling) ngiyacela tu
Her: okay my boy
.
Her phone rang, she looked to see who it was and
it was Richard. She threw it at the bed and went
to prepare warm milk for Vuyo. She gave him
Orioles and walked with him to her bedroom. He
sat on the floor and ate. Her phone kept ringing
.
Vuyo: Gogo answer your phone
Her: (smiling) its annoying you boy?
Vuyo: yes
.
She answered it
.
Her: Dudu speaking
Richard: hey why have you been ignoring my calls?
Her: do I know you? Sorry Sir I think you got the
wrong person
Richard: Dudu its me Rich
Her: Oh Rich, what do you want?
Richard: why are you doing this, you have been
ignoring my calls and texts
Her: unlike you I own no company. I have a boss to
please if I slack I will be jobless so I have to
work hard to deliver
Richard: okay I'm sorry
Her: what do you want?
Richard: to talk to you
Her: you have a wife you can talk to her
Richard: you're angry at me
Her: I'm not
Richard: why?
Her: nothing
Richard: afraid of falling for a married man?
Her: if you keep speaking nonsense I will hang up
Richard: you make me happy Dee. Maybe marrying
Judith was a mistake
Her: let me remind you our kids are dating. I
won't do this with you. Work on your marriage
Richard: you still owe me lunch
Her: that won't happen
Richard: I know you always act tough but so
fragile inside
Her: don't even dare you know nothing about me
Richard
Richard: I'm coming next week to know more
Her: good for you
Richard: Dudu I love you
Her: bye Rich
.
She hung up smiling. What was this man doing to
her. The thought of hurting Olivia sink in, she sat
down sad. This was never going to work, she had
given up on love and was never going to be with
another man ever. Why did Rich awaken
something she thought she had long buried.
.
Her: let's go to bed Vuyo
Vuyo: I want to sleep with you
Her: okay let's go put leave this at the kitchen
.
She took the empty glass and went to the kitchen
with Vuyo following her. They left it at the Sink
then went to bed
.

OLIVIA
.
The next day I woke up and made breakfast for
Amo. I left it in our room along with his meds. I
then went out for a walk. A car stopped next to
me. The window rolled down and what do you know
it was Lucy and her friend Mia.
.
Lucy: for someone who is pregnant you sure walk
up and down a lot
Me: (smiling) I need to exercise
Lucy: (smiling) likes there's anything you're going
to lose.
.
I laughed
.
Lucy: where are you going?
Me: just taking a walk getting fresh air and I
need to buy a few things
Lucy: you're bored come lets go. I will take you
there and probably end up having breakfast with
you
Me: (laughing) where are you from anyway?
Lucy: from work
Me: oh so I'm talking to two doctors
Lucy: (laughing) nah she's a nurse. Come in
.
I got in and sat at the back with Mia
.
Me: hi
Mia: her sweet cheeks
Lucy: (gave me her phone) give me your numbers
so I can call for a hang out whenever we have
time. You can't be a loner till you die
Me: (laughing taking it) my little one will keep me
occupied
Lucy: how is boyfie?
Me: he is okay, I'm going to take care of him till
he feels better
Mia: that's so sweet
Lucy: I'm still curious about the guy
Mia: yeah who is he?
Me: (smiling) Amogelang
Lucy: (shocked) yoh Amo that guy?
Me: yes the one and only
Mia: Amo who?
Lucy: Amogelang Dibuseng from Botswana
Mia: (shocked) the businessman?
Me: (smiling) yep the one and only
Mia: but isn't he married
Lucy: he is but they separated
Mia: they divorced?
Me: no they're going to divorce
Mia: (laughing) ehe
Me: what?
Lucy: don't listen to her
Mia: fine I won't talk
Lucy: really?
Mia: but seriously the guy is married
Me: they separated
Mia: separation says we need a break from each
other after we figure out ourselves we're going
to try again and fix things between us. Divorce is
I'm done, I tried everything and it won't work
bye. You're just a side chick, worst you're
carrying his kid you will be known as a
homewrecker
Me: but it was already wrecked when I got there
Mia: people won't see that, she might come back
and take back what's rightfully hers. That
includes the baby you're carrying. Imagine your
name being dragged to the papers
Lucy: Amo is not the father, Micky the fuckboy is
Me: and I won't let that jerk in my baby's life
Lucy: I second you on that he doesn't deserve
the title father
Mia: I might not know the whole story but no
matter what he did to you, you have no right to
hide his baby from him. Don't let what he did to
you affect your baby's life
Me: you don't know what he put me through so
don't judge
Mia: I'm not judging but helping you see reason.
Not everyone is perfect, you're a side chick as we
speak anyway I would never take my kid's joy of
having or feeling his or her fathers love. He might
not have been a good boyfriend but he might
make a good father
Me: I don't want him back into my life
Mia: he's not going to be in your life but your
baby's life. How would you have felt if your
father kept you away from your mother?
Me: angry
Mia: that's how your baby will feel too
Lucy: the the first time you're right. Why don't
we gate crash his wedding and break the news in
front of everyone. (Laughing) I can even see the
look on his face priceless
Mia: that seriously won't be necessary come on,
she will embarrass herself. Wait till the wedding
ends then call him or write him a message
Me: okay
Mia: and about you dating a married man I still
think its a bad idea. I think you should wait till he
finally signs the divorce papers
Lucy: its like you're telling me that I when I come
across 200 rand in the middle of nowhere, I
should leave it there till the owner comes and
finds it, which is not possible. The moment I leave
it there someone else will take it
Mia: do you always have to object everything I
say?
Lucy: so Oli are you leaving him or staying?
Me: I…
Lucy: shit I forgot my bag at work
Mia: we have to go back
Me: just leave me here
Lucy: okay
.
She pulled over. I then I got off the car and went
straight to the mall. I have to deal with Michael
on the other hand I have to deal with this whole
Amo saga.
.
.
AMOGELANG
.
I went downstairs wearing my long shirt and jeans
covering all the bruises. Thank God she didn't
mess up my face, I had no idea Oli was that
hardcore, she took me by surprise. I still don't
know if we're over that. I'm still worried she
might go crazy on Sihle I must warn her but for
now I have to deal with Sara today. I found her in
the kitchen cooking.
.
Me: morning
Sara: Morning Sir
Me: we have to talk
Sara: okay
Me: sit down
.
We both sat down. I could see she was worried
.
Me: I heard you with your friends talking about
my girlfriend yesterday. I was on my way to get
myself something to eat and what do you know
turns out I have journalists in my own house
Sara: (looking down) I'm sorry Sir please don't
fire me
Me: I told you I didn't mind if you had some of
your friends over if ever you were bored but
you're now sticking your nose to where it doesn't
belong. My love life got nothing to do with you
Sara: (tearful) Jeso wami ngisize nakungicoshwa
Me: what?
Sara: please don't fire me Sir
Me' I don't want any if your friends in my house
and if you ever speak like that about her you will
regret it.
Sara: yes Sir
Me: good now make me coffee and bring it up to
my room
Sara: yes Sir
.
I went back to my room and decided to call Sihle.
.
Sihle: hello
Me: hi
Sihle: how are you?
Me: I'm fine
Sihle: did you find your watch?
Me: yes it was with Olivia she knows
Sihle: (frightened) she what?
Me: she found the watch and the condom
wrapper.
Sihle: what did she do to you?
Me: she was angry but I managed to calm her
down. She's been quite and very emotional. I
don't know if she's going to come after you
Sihle: Oh My God!
Me: don't panic okay
Sihle: please don't call me again I want no
problems
Me: oh okay
.
She hung up. I guess this is where it ends
between me and her.

I made a few business calls checking if everything
was going well at the office. I then decided to
call my father.
.
Me: Mr Dibuseng
Him: son its been long
Me: (smiling) long indeed
Him: I called the office and apparently you have
been gone for two days.
Me: yeah I'm sick
Him: (laughing) you sick come on you can do
better than that
Me: you won't believe me if I told you
Him: I'm listening
Me: I cheated and she beat my ass dad, (laughing)
she beat my ass
Him: (shocked) you got beaten by a woman?
Me: she planned everything dad poured baby oil
on the floor. I fell and got injured on top of that
she hit me with a sjambok I'm in pain as we speak
Him: (laughing) yep the apple doesn't fall far
from the tree
Me: did her mother do this to you?
Him:(laughing) well you can say that. I cheated
and she got violent slapping me. I slapped her
once and she stopped it was a stupid move, she
burned my clothes. I almost killed her
Me: (laughing) yeah I wish she burned all my
clothes instead of selling my watch
Him: the one you got from your man?
Me: (sad) yeah
Him: I'm sorry boy that's love for you
Me: I'm just glad she got a little bitch in her, I
don't want a boring wife
Him: (laughing) always remind her you're the man
Me: she knows that. (Little laugh) if only you
could see her making me breakfast and giving me
pills and watching her ass move it turns me on the
moment I get better I…
Him: (laughing) ey boy I want no details, you still
coming here?
Me: no we've decided to stay
Him: okay just make sure you keep your business
out of the front page
Me: she wants me to rent her a house before
people start talking about us
Him: that's a good idea
Me: (saw her coming in) I have to go talk later
pops
Him: sure son
.
I hung up and sat on the bed. Watching her take
off her clothes.
.
Me: slow down
.
She slowed down facing the other way giving me a
view of her ass. Damn I love it. She slowly pulled
down her skirt, It drove me crazy. She took it
slowly and was only left with her full panty
.
Me: you need new panties
.
She said nothing I could tell she was shy and it
turned me on to have so much power over her.
.
Me: take it off and bounce that ass
.
She took if off slowly and started tweaking. I
spanked her ass, damn this pregnancy was doing
wonders to her body.
.
Me: turn around
.
She turned around with her hands on her face. I
smiled unhooking her bra. I pushed them down,
forcing her to look at me then I French kissed
her pulling down her bra exposing her perfect
boobs. I cupped them
.
Me: just perfect
.
I kissed her soft lips going down to her neck
wetting her making a trail to her nipple. I sucked
on it she moaned softly. I kissed her and carried
her to the bed.
.
Her: looks like someone is getting better
.
I later her on the bed and spread her legs apart.
I went down and left a kiss on my cookie and…
.
Sara: (knocked) Sir I got your coffee
Me: (annoyed) I asked for that hours ago
Sara: I'm sorry Sir
Me: I don't want it anymore
Sara: Mr Nkosi is here to see you
Me: about?
Sara: I don't know he's the man who always carry
a big drawing book
.
Olivia giggled.
.
Me: (whispered) stop that
Her: what?
Me: tell him I will be down in 30 minutes
Sara: yes Sir.
.
I got off my lady and went to the bathroom to
relieve myself. I took a quick shower then rushed
downstairs.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
as soon as Amo went out I went to shower my
cookie was wet as if I was on my periods. I
laughed thinking about how I got to end up with
him my freak. On the other hand what Mia said
about the baby might be right but how do I tell
him. Maybe I should write him a message. I took
my phone and started typing.
.
Me: (typing) hi Michael. Please don't freak out
and read this message its important. I know you
are married and happy with your wife and I
respect that though you lied to me and hurt me
but I want you to know that youre going to be a
father soon. I'm three months pregnant, I have
not and probably will never forgive you for what
you did but for the sake of my baby. I'm willing
to put aside our differences. If you want you can
play the role of being a father to him or her I
won't force you. If you want us to meet and talk
about the baby I'm sure you still have my number.
.
I saved it on drafts then applied lotion. I got
dressed then sat on the bed looking at nice
houses on the enternet to rent.
.
.
AMOGELANG
.
Mr Nkosi showed me the plan of the new mall we
were going to build at home. He was good at his
job and was a family man more like an older
brother to me.
.
Me: I don't know how you are able to handle two
wives
Nhlaka: (laughing) its easier said than done. They
both drive me crazy and not to mention the kids.
Chloe and Mxo are just too much to handle
Me: I heard Nico is expecting
Nhlaka: yeah we found out last week
Me: congratulations
Nhlaka: thank you I can only hope it goes well
when Jenn gave birth it was nerve wrecking I
thought I was gonna lose her. C-section ain't no
child's play
Me: the feeling of being called dad, I can't wait
for that
Nhlaka: then go get your wife. She should stop
being a babysitter it doesn't suit her
Me: Lihle?
Nhlaka: I once saw her in Canada. She was
babysitting a little boy and girl
Me: are you sure it was her
Nhlaka: yep the couple she was babysitting for
came and took the kids with her home but that
was years ago
Me: wow
Nhlaka: talk to her man
Me: yeah I will try
Nhlaka: let me go home
Me: my man
.
We shook hands then he left. I had forgotten
about Lihle I don't care what she does for a living
all I need is for her to sign the papers.

AT MIA'S HOUSE
.
she came home to an empty house. Loneliness
creeper in. She walked to the room next to hers.
She opened the door and walked into a blue and
pink painted room. There were two little beds,
half of the room was painted blue and the other
half was pink. Toys were on the bed along with
two cute little dresses in each bed.
.
She sat on the bed tearful thinking about her
twins. Her heart bled for them if only she knew
back then. She took her phone and made a call.
.
Voice: hello
Mia: Duncan its me Mia
Duncan: I thought I made it clear that I don't
want to hear from you again
Mia: I just need you to let me spend time with
them, I miss them.
Duncan: I told you if you want to see them talk to
my wife, she might let you see them since were
not going anywhere this weekend
Mia: you know she won't let me see them
Duncan: I don't blame her you're an unfit mother
Mia: Duncan please
Duncan: never call me again
Mia: but I…
.
He hung up. Mia called her wife while she was in
tears. It rang for a couple of minutes till she
picked it up.
.
Her: hello
Mia: hi Thobile its me Mia
Thobile: what do you want?
Mia: can I please see my daughters this weekend?
Thobile: no
Mia: (tearful) why are you doing this to me?
Thobile: I'm teaching you to never open your legs
to married man
Mia: (crying) I regret doing that but please don't
shut me out of my girl's life
Thobile: you're unfit to be a mother, what will you
teach them huh? To be homewreckers?
Mia: please Thobile I'm begging you
Thobile: no we're going to Durban this weekend
Mia: but Duncan said you weren't going anywhere
this weekend
Thobile: oh now we are.
.
Voice: mommy who are you talk to?
Thobile: no one sweety go play with your sister
.
Mia's hear sank when she heard one of her girls
call Thobile mom.
.
Thobile: I can never thank you enough for the
gift you gave me. 2 beautiful girls indeed God is
great. I had never pictured myself having a family
having kids. When I found out I couldn't conceive
I felt like it was the end of the world but God is
so good. You opened your legs and gave me not
oner but two beautiful girls. Thank you Mia
Mia: (crying) I will take you to court
Thobile: and I will release all the sextapes you
made with Duncan. You will be a well known
pornstar
Mia: (tearful) Thobile please
Thobile: I'm sure people will be happy to see
something new, I mean you do have a killer boy I
repeat watching it over and over again…
.
Mia hung up crying. Her phone rang and it was her
mother, she dried her tears and answered.
.
Mia: mama
Her: my baby how are you?
Mia: (sniffing) I'm okay
Her: (sad) aww my baby you have been crying
Mia: (crying) they wont let me see them mama,
they are my babies I gave birth to them
Her: don't cry sweetheart God shall see you
through
Mia: they even call her mom now
Her: eish I'm sorry Nana
Mia: you know ma I have a friend who's walking on
my footsteps, if only she knew the consequences.
Her: help her
Mia: I'm trying but its hard because my life is
falling apart
Her: you have to be strong, maybe taking a risk
might be good right now
Mia: and embarrass the whole family. How will
people in the community look at me? How will my
patients look at me ma? I can't even afford to
move to another country, my kids will get bullied
at school all because of those stupid decisions I
made 5 years ago.
Her: we can't change that anymore. Whatever
happens I will be behind you 100%
Mia: thank you ma
Her: you will get them back one way or the other
just pull yourself together and think. Do
something you won't regret. I also want to see my
granddaughters as well
Mia: (smiling) I can't stop wondering how they
look like, I last saw them when they were three
months. Oh and I spoke to them 2years ago
asking them their favorite things. They are
turning 5years old this weekend, I wish I could
spend it with them
Her: you will one day just pray
Mia: okay ma thank you
Her: okay baby bye
Mia: bye
.
She hung up and went down on her knees.
.
Mia: dear Lord, I bow down before you in need of
your help. I know I have sinned and I am not
proud of my actions, that's why I beg for your
forgiveness. This punishment is too much please
give me the strength to pull through. Please give
me a chance to be in my daughters lives (tearful)
I love them. Please help me Lord, keep them safe
and protected for me and help erase any hatred
they might develop against me, help them find
peace and be happy. Amen
.
She stood up and went to take a shower.

TWO DAYS LATER
.
OLIVIA
.
Me: the wedding was finally over. I saw all the
pictures on Facebook and videos on Instagram. It
was lovely I wondered if ever I will have all of
that with Amo anyway I need to send the
message. Maybe I should talk to Amo first. I'm
sure he won't mind we once spoke about this and
he was against the idea of keeping the baby from
Michael so I'm sure he won't have a problem with
it. I took my phone and sent it
.
Amo came in to get the last suitcase.
.
Amo: don't want to move to your new house
Me: (smiling) I'm excited
Amo: (kissing my cheek) then let's go baby
Me: okay love
.
I put my phone in my bag then went out with him
to the car.
.
.
AT CAPE TOWN IN A HOTEL
.
Michael laid on the bed waiting for Zodwa who
was in the bathroom.
.
Him: ey don't keep daddy waiting
Her: (laughing) I'm coming
.
His phone beeped he checked and found a
message from Olivia. He quickly sat up straight
and read it. He couldn't believe it, she was
pregnant, she was carrying his baby. Zodwa
walked out with her big tummy in her sexy black
lingerie. She got confused seeing Michael get
dressed and packing their suitcases
.
Her: what's going on?
Him: were going to Johannesburg
Her: what?
Him: you heard me its very important
Her: were on our honeymoon
Him: if you want to stay you can stay but I'm

Her: I'm not leaving Michael

AT DUDU'S HOUSE
.
She put on her make up doing final touch ups. She
combed back her weave then applied her pink
lipstick. Vuyo was playing with his bike in the
house. Her phone rang and it was Nomvula..
.
Dudu: Mvuleni
Nomvula: hello sisi wami
Dudu: how are you?
Nomvula: I'm fine I just miss my grandson

Vuyo: gogo ngiphakamise

room without knocking
Vuyo: (sad) sorry
Dudu: (lifting him up) gogo Shabangu want to see

She took her phone and called Sihle. After a few
minutes she arrived.

Dudu: I'm glad you could make it mntanami
Sihle: its okay ma, I need the money for
transport to Johannesburg
Dudu: to Johannesburg?

Her phone rang and it was Richard. She smiled
and looked at Sihle embarrassed
.
Dudu: excuse me I have to take this
Sihle: okay

She went back to her room and locked the door
.
Dudu: Rich

Richard: you're the boss just take a day off
Dudu: where are we going?
Richard: you will see
Dudu: give me 5minutes
Richard: okay

She quickly changed into a pink floral flare dress
and put on her heels. She took her phone and
made a call.
.
Voice: hello
Dudu: I won't make it to work today, I leave it all
to you make sure things run smoothly
Voice: okay boss lady
.
She hung up then took her purse and went out.
Sihle looked at her surprised.
.
Sihle: you are beautiful
Dudu: thank you sweetie, when you go home take
the key with you. I will come fetch it at your
house
Sihle: okay
Dudu: come give granny a kiss my boy
.
Vuyo kissed her on her cheek after that she went
out. Her friend Micky's mom was standing by the
fence.
.
Dudu: morning
Her: eeh Dudu things have changed neh
Dudu: thing?
Her: ever since you got a house and a job you are
scares
Dudu: I am a busy woman
Her: even your dress code change.
Dudu: I have to dress like a business woman my

Her: I see, and that car?
Dudu: (looking at the Hammer) oh that's my
business partner… ummh I really to chat with you

so see you after hours
Her: okay
.
She walked to the Hammer. The driver opened
the door for her she got in smiling.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
I really loved the house he rented for me. It had
a kitchen, a living room, three bedrooms each
having its own bathroom. It was fully furnished
and the theme was blue and white.
.
Me: I love it, thank you babe
Amo: (hugging me from behind) this is temporary,
can't wait to buy you one after we get married
Me: speaking about that any word from Lihle?
Amo: no (sighed) I heard she was a babysitter
somewhere. I got someone to look for her but she
long left to Dubai. This is just tiring
Me: its been 4 years now going to be 5 soon
Amo: I know babe and I'm sorry but I'm trying all
I can
Me: you're not trying hard enough
Amo: are we seriously going to argue right now?
Me: she's still your wife
Amo: you're the woman I love, I would have long
left her by now you know that
Me: I know
Amo: (turning me around to face him) I love you
Me: I like you too
Amo: (smiling) what did you just say
Me: I love you too
Amo: its time I take what's mine
.
He French kissed me and lifted me up going to my
bedroom and #sealed
.
.
MICHAEL
.
I arrived in Johannesburg I had called my friend
a few hours ago to track her for me and luckily he
found her and gave me the address. I took a taxi
there. The thought of her carrying my baby
excited me. I still have a chance to win her back.
This baby will bring us back together once and
for all. I realized marrying Zodwa was a mistake,
Olivia is the one for me.
.
A car drove away before the taxi stopped. I
assumed it was her boyfriend but I couldn't
careless. I paid and got off with my bags. I went
to knock and she opened looking sexy with her
little body wrapped in a towel
.
Her: (shocked) Michael?
Me: (smiling) babe
.
I pushed her in kissing her…
.
.
Meanwhile…
.
Amo searched for his phone but he couldn't find
it and he had to make an important call.
.
Amo: damn I forgot it at Oli's
.
He turned and made his way to Olivia's house
.
.
.
#39
.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
while Amo was driving to Olivia's house he heard
his phone ring. He lifted the jacket and it was his
phone. He smiled taking it, stopping at the robot
he made the business call. Then turned going to
his own house
.
OLIVIA
.
He kissed me and pushed me in, I froze for a
moment. He pulled down my towel, something
shook me I slapped him across the face and pulled
up my towel.
.
Me: what the fuck are you doing?
Michael: Oli I thought
Me: shouldn't you be on your honeymoon
Michael: its not that important you and my baby
are
Me: Zodwa is your wife
Michael: I don't really love her
Me: (laughing in disbelief) oh really now, you're so
fucken unbelievable
Michael: listen I know what I did to you is
unforgivable but…
Me: I don't need your explanation. I just wanted
you to know I was pregnant that's all
Michael: but I love you
Me: (angry) you don't even know the meaning of
that.
Michael: you're angry because you still love me
Me: no I'm not angry
Michael: I'm the guy you sacrificed your whole
life for and I'm willing and going to repay for
breaking your heart
Me: you're a married man
Michael: so is Dibuseng
Me: at least he won't hurt me like you did, please
leave its late. If Amo had to come back and find
you here it would be another story
Michael: can I sleep over, I will go tomo…
Me: just leave now
Michael: okay (sighed) if there's one thing I love
about you is being faithful, you have never
cheated on me before and I know you won't cheat
on him but I won't give up before trying
.
I said nothing, he took his bag and left.
.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
Richard and Dudu spent the whole day together,
they even went on to explore Johannesburg
together. The last guy that spoiled her rotten
was Richard it was years back after that she
chose love over money. It was a decision she
never regretted taking even though it put a stop
to her life but she was once happy.
.
Richard: what are you thinking about?
Her: nothing
Richard: you seem so distant, come on tell me
Her: what do you want from me Richard?
Richard: (looked down) I don't know
Her: I only had this much fun years ago
Richard: me too… well I guess so.
Her: did you love her or you were using her to get
over me because I used Stan to hurt you
Richard: yes I did but I ended up falling for her.
It wasn't planned and I wanted to settle down
like my age mates
Her: I thought you were going to leave her but
after you got married I gave up
Richard: I'm sorry
Her: no don't be
Richard: I thought seeing after so many years
would make me realise I was over you
Her: (smiling) that is far from happening
Richard: (smiling) I know
Her: its getting late I think is time I went home
Richard: okay let me get the bill
Her: let me quickly rush to the bathroom then
Richard: okay
.
She went to the bathroom while Richard paid,
when she came back. The both got in the car and
went to her house. He walked her to her door
step
.
Her: I had a great time thank you
Richard: you're welcome, I really missed that
Her: what to come in for coffee?
Richard: that would be nice
.
She remembered the key was with Sihle.
.
her: I left the keys with the babysitter
Richard: no problem give me your hair pin
.
she took it out of her hair then gave it to
Richard. he unlocked the door. They both walked
in then she went to boil the kettle. He sat down
and watched her making him coffee. She still
remembered the way he liked it. Black and not too
sweet. They both sat down and drank it while
talking about old times.
.
Richard: my time is up I should get going
Her: yeah you're right
.
She stood up and walked him to the door.
Somehow he didn't want to leave and Dudu didn't
want him to go as well. They stared at each other
for a while without blinking. The argue to kiss her
soft little lips was strong. And the need to feel
his touch was there.
.
He couldn't take it anymore he pulled her to him
and French kissed her. The spark was still there.
She still loved this man but it was a sin he was
married, married to the wrong one.
.
Richard: I don't want to go
Her: then don't
.
He kissed her while undressing her. She did the
same leading him to her bedroom then #sealed
.
Richard: $%&$%&%&%':;(-"*'@ …. I love you
Her: I love you too
.
He frenched kissed her and slowly pulled out. The
guilt of doing it with a married struck she looked
down. Richard pulled her chin up and planted a
baby kiss
.
Richard: don't regret it
Her: (tearful) it end here Richard. It will hurt a
lot of people if we continue
Richard: I know
Her: I love you
Richard: I love you too
Her: leave when I'm asleep
Richard: okay
.
They French kissed then cuddled. He waited for
her till she was asleep he then left in the middle
of the night.
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
Sihle walked out of the elevator. She saw people
sitting at the waiting area she sat next to a young
girl who seemed to be her age mate.
.
Sihle: hi
Her: hi
Sihle: are you here for the job?
Her: kind of I hope to be the boss's PA
Sihle: (smiling) I actually don't care as long as
I'm hired. I need extra cash
Her: good luck
.
She watched her being called out after that she
left disappointed. It was Sihle's turn. She went
to the receptionist. She greeted her and told her
her name.
.
Her: Oh Sihle, I have good news for you
Sihle: (smiling) yes
Her: you made it, you will start working as our
Boss's PA from today
Sihle: (shocked) what?
Her: you heard me
.
Sihle smiled and got emotional.
.
Her: ey try to be more professional
Sihle: oh yes I'm sorry
Her: that is his office
Sihle: okay thank you
.
She wiped away her tears and walked into his
office. Their eyes met and Amo was speechless
.
.
.

.
.
AT AMO'S OFFICE
.
She walked in and sat down facing him. He shook
his head coming back to earth. She had changed
more beautiful, neat and looked so damn sexy in
formal,but her being here was going to be a
problem. Olivia wouldn't like this one bit
.
Amo: what are you doing here?
Her: I'm here to work
Amo: you can't be here, you know our history
Her: I'm here to work Mr Dibuseng, I don't mix
business with pleasure what happened between us
is all in the past
Amo: as your boss you're fired
Her: I will take you to CCMA for unfair dismissal
Amo: okay what do you want? Olivia will flip when
she sees you
Her: I need this job for my studies
Amo: I will pay
Her: I don't need your money I will work hard and
take myself to school
Amo: it can be a loan
Her: I don't do loans. Now Sir I have been given
you work schedule and you have a meeting in 30
minutes with Mr Nkosi. Should I go prepare the
bedroom for you?
Amo: (shaking head) what?
Her: I said do you need me to prepare the
boardroom for you?
Amo: yes
Her: okay
.
He watched her stood up and walking out with her
fat ass shaking. His manhood got excited as
memories of that night came back. He pushed it
all away and took his phone calling Olivia.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
My phone rang while I was cleaning and on my
mind was Michael's issue. After what he did last
night I regretted telling him about the pregnancy.
I know Amo will angry at me for not telling him
the truth so its better I do it now before its too
late. Oh I even forgot my phone was ringing.
.
Me: babe
Him: love how are you?
Me: I'm okay I guess
Him: come on give me a straight answer
Me: I'm fine, we have to talk about something
Him: should I be worried?
Me: no…yesbI don't know, stop asking me hard
questions
Him: I will come straight to you after work my
love
Me: okay
Him: is the baby okay?
Me: the baby is doing good
Him: okay I have to rush to a meeting right now
Me: okay bye
Him: I love you
Me: I love you too
.
I hung up. I heard a knock then went to open, it
was Michael. He came in and sat at the living
room. I offered him Juice and sat opposite to
him.
.
Him: so what is this all about?
Me: its about the baby
Him: you know that I will be with you every step
of the way
Me: that won't be necessary Amo…
Him: that is my sperm not Amo's. You're carrying
my baby so everything you do concerning my baby
I have to be notified that includes shopping for
her clothes
Me: you have got to be kidding me
Him: I don't feel comfortable with the idea of
him fucking you right now. He is poking my baby
Me: are you serious right now?
Him: I think you and him should put whatever you
have on hold at least after you give birth
Me: I won't put my life on hold because I'm
pregnant
Him: if you get horny rather call me instead
Me: (laughing in disbelief) you're crazy (noticing
his serious face) oh my God you're serious
Him: please think about what I'm saying
Me: I'm a doctor and…
Him: was going to be a doctor
Me: till you ruined it all
Him: I know and I'm sorry
Me: having sex while pregnant is allowed, just
google it. It makes the baby happy
Him: I'd rather do that myself
Me: Michael I won't starve my boyfriend because
of your selfish ego. You had your chance and blew
it or you enjoy hurting me?
Him: no I'm sorry
Me: I just need you to be there after birth
Him: no there are things I don't want to miss like
her kicks, hearing her heart beat and see you give
birth
Me: (laughing) the birth part you're crazy
Him: (soft laugh) I want to be with you through
this pregnancy
Me: and you're wife?
Him: don't worry about her
Me: I don't want to ruin your marriage
Him: I won't mind like Mr Dibuseng
Me: he is going to divorce
Him: so am I
Me: you're not funny Michael
Him: okay I'm sorry, so when are we going to the
doctor?
Me: next month hoping to hear his or her heart
beat
Him: I have a feeling its going to be a girl,
beautiful, kind and loving like her mother
Me: (smiling) I hope so… ummh I have to go to the
mall
Him: I can drop you off if you want
Me: no I will walk I need the exercise
Him: (laughing) I can see you're trying to get rid
of me
Me: (laughing) then stop wasting time and go
Him: can I touch her?
Me: ummm.. Okay sure
.
He came to sit next to me and placed his hand on
my belly. He exhaled and smiled looking at me.
.
Me: you're carrying someone really important to
me. I promise to love and protect the two of you.
Thank you for everything and I hope one day you
forgive me
.
I said nothing and just smiled. He stood up and
walked out. I stayed home watching TV till I got
so bored and decided to go to the mall. I went to
the mall and went to Mr price. I saw a girl that
looked like Sihle in one of the lines. I had to make
sure it was her. I went to a line close to hers and
heard her talking over the phone
.
Sihle: I don't know how I feel about him…. I know
its hard to let go he was my first…. If you could
see the way he looks at me I'm irresistible…. I
don't give a damn about her he's my boss I get to
see him everyday.… he touched my butt and he
had a boner girl what does that tell you?
(Laughing) I have to go before boss bae misses
me… okay bye
.
She took her phone back to her handbag. She
walked out and I followed her till I saw her
walking into the building Amo has office's in. That
bitch she's doing all this because I didn't deal
with her properly but I won't let this one slide.
I'm going to show her she messed with the wrong
girl. I followed her in the building.
.

OLIVIA
.
I walked behind her and tapped on her shoulder
she turned around I then slapped her.
.
Sihle: (brushing her cheek) what do you want?
Me: no what are you doing here, you want my man
huh?
.
People came out of their offices to watch us and
I couldn't careless Amo was my man and I'm not
going to let this bitch have her way with him
again.
.
Sihle: (smiling) you're man?
Me: (slapped her again) I know you slept with him
and I was going to let it slide but now I see you
won't learn
Sihle: (laughing) I'm still confused who is your
man
.
I threw a punch she tried to block it and tripped.
She fell on the ground and I got on top punching
her. She fought back scratching me with her nail
but that was useless I punched her till her nose
bleed
.
Sihle: (crying) you're so stupid… beating me for a
man that's not even yours
Me: Amo is mine, he belongs to me
Sihle: (hiding her face) you're just a side chick
just like me he doesn't belong to you stupid
Me: who did you call stupid?
.
I pulled up her bonding she cried as it lifted with
her hair.
.
Sihle: (crying) you're hurting me, are you crazy?
.
I felt someone pull me up by my weave. It was so
painful because I got it done as in two days ago.
.
Amo: get back to work all of you
.
The crowd dispersed he dragged me to his office
, pushed me to the couch and locked the door.
.
Amo: you calm down and tell me your problem
.
Eh did he just say calm down, how do I calm down
when he's busy fucking Sihle behind my back huh?
I stood up and went to the door trying to unlock
it the kept fell and he quickly got it.
.
Me: (yelling) give me the fucken key now!
.
I stood next to his table and just looked at me
like I was insane.
.
Me: if you don't open now I will break everything
here
.
He still said nothing, haa this man doesn't know
me well. I kicked and turned the couches up side
down. I took the jar of water and threw it at him.
.
Me: I see you never learn always protecting that
bitch!
.
I went to his table where he had all his paper
work. I wanted to tear everything and destroy his
laptop. He pushed me back and I fell on the floor
.
Amo: (shouting) Stop it now!
.
I got up and went back that's when I received a
hot slap across my face. I froze trying to come to
my senses. I slapped him back and he returned it
with so much force. I think I saw stars for a
second I couldn't feel my face.
.
Amo: you can pull all your crazy stunts elsewhere
but not on my building. I am running a company
not Olivia's reality TV show. I see you're now
becoming a spoiled brat but I will whip all of it
out of you
.
I took a few steps back as I saw him taking off
his belt. He rolled the metal part around his hand.
.
Me: (crying) you're going to hurt the baby
Amo: pull down your pants and go down on your
knees
Me: please Amo…
Amo: I can make this more tense and you will
wake up in hospital. Akere you never learn
Me: I'm sorry
Amo: (angry) do it now or I will fuck your ass now
.
I pulled down my pants slowly my heart beating
fast. I looked at him and he was waiting for me to
pull down my panty as well. I pulled it down and
went down on my knees. I heard him come close
then I got whipped I thought it was over but I
got whipped more. I cried after sometime he
stopped.
.
My tears dried up, I felt him spread my butt
cheeks and spreading my pussy lips apart. I then
felt his warm breath down there. He slid in his
tongue, I moaned while he played with my bean. I
got wet then I felt his D head at my entrance. He
rubbed it there making me more wet. I got ready
to take it.
.
Amo: get up and go home
Me: what?
Amo: I won't repeat myself
.
I stood up and pulled my panty along with my
pants up. I didn't look at his face. I got out and
strangely people were busy with work. I wondered
if they heard what the noise. I looked down and
took a taxi back home.
.
.
AT THE BATHROOM
.
Sihle's phone rang while she was applying make up
on her face.
.
Sihle: cuz
Her: cuz you sent a please call
Sihle: that bitch attacked me
Her: Olivia?
Sihle: I don't get what's her problem because
she isn't married to the guy, she's just a side
chick hoping to be promoted to be a main
Her: eh this girl is crazy go open a case
Sihle: what case? I'm not opening any case. I'm
going to get something out of this
Her: way to go girl get that money
Sihle: (laughing) I have to go
Her: okay we'll talk later
Sihle: later then

I regretted beating her like that what was I even
thinking. I promised myself that I will never lay a
hand on a woman but I had to put her in line. Sihle
walked in while I was busy trying to put
everything in place. She helped me fix everything
.
Me: I'm sorry about earlier
Sihle: I won't say its okay
Me: it won't happen again I promise
Sihle: a part of me want to report her to the
police
Me: and?
Sihle: its clear she's addicted to the forbidden
fruit for fighting for it like that even though it
doesn't belong to her
Amo: it belongs to her
Sihle: it belongs to Mrs Dibuseng.
Amo: don't arrest her, name your price
Sihle: I want the forbidden fruit
Amo: what?
Sihle: you heard me, I want your dick
.
I swallowed hard and stared at her

Sihle looked at him waiting for his response.
.
Sihle: and?
Amo: its a no
Sihle: (confused) what?
Amo: I never get ordered or blackmailed by
woman unless they have something valuable than
money for me
Sihle: I can give you that something
Amo: a desperate woman is a turn off. I like this
bossy act but it won't work with me you're just a
PA
Sihle: and she is just a side chick
Amo: I won't discuss my love life with you
Sihle: (laughing) if you really wanted to divorce
you would have done it by now
Amo: don't talk about things you don't know
Sihle: you're waiting for her aren't you?
Amo: go do your job before I fire you
Sihle: I see your game, Olivia won't know what hit
her
Amo: just go
.
She exited his office. Amo took his phone and
made a call.
.
Voice: Sir
Amo: did you find her?
Voice: yes Sir
Amo: did you manage to get the boy's hair
sample?
Voice: no Sir this is going to be hard. She
watches over him 24/7. She doesn't even hire a
maid to help her
Amo: I need to know if that boy is mine or not
Voice: I will try get it for you
Amo: good I need the results after that I will file
for divorce
Voice: yes Sir
.
Josh hung up then went to sit next to Lihle. She
smiled playing with her boy.
.
Josh: hi
Lihle: hi
Josh: what a handsome boy you have
Lihle: I know you have been following me around
Josh: I don't know what you are talking about
Lihle: let me spare you the drama here (gave him
a packet that had hair) give it to him
Josh: tell me who is the father
Lihle: go and get those tasted you will get the
answer
Josh: you can't keep running
Lihle: I won't anymore just give me time to fix my
life here
Josh: he's filing for divorce
Lihle: he didn't he has so much to lose he knows it
as well
Josh: thank you for making my job easier.
Lihle: pleasure
.
He stood up and walked away.

AMOGELANG
.
I got home and found Olivia in bed. She pretend
to be asleep but I knew I hurt her and had to
make things right between us.
.
Me: baby… (shoo her) baby?
Her: mmh
Me: can we talk?
Her: I don't want to talk Amo you made it clear
earlier who you side with
Me: what you did was uncalled for
Her: I had to deal with her I heard her talking
with her friend about how he made you have a
boner and how you touched her butt
Me: now you believe people's lies, what happened
to asking me the truth
Her: I don't trust a man that one lied to me
about His watch
Me: that's in the past. I love you
Her: I can't see it
Me: you won't see it because you are busy
fighting with people who don't matter I'm still a
married man
Her: and I'm just a side chick
Me: don't call yourself that
Her: its what everyone calls me
Me: would you calm down?
Her: I'm sorry
Me: I love you and I'm sorry for what I did
earlier I regret it. Sihle tried to blackmail me
into sleeping with her but I didn't give in because
I love you
Her: so you can't fire her?
Me: I can't but I will move her to another office,
I just want you to focus on the baby right now
and stop picking fights
Her: okay what would make me happy. Umm I have
to tell you something
Me: okay
Her: I told Michael about the baby
Me: you what?
Her: I told…
Me: I thought we both agreed to talk about this
before telling him
Her: I thought you wouldn't have a problem with
it, its his kid after all
Me: well I do
Her: I'm sorry but I have spoken to him and
that's that
Me: I can't believe this you know that you're
right its his kid
Her: baby please he just want to play daddy as
well
Me: isn't he married?
Her: he is but he's going to see me concerning
the baby only nothing more
Me: okay whatever you say
Her: let's not fight over this, my body is in pain I
just want to sleep. I won't fight with your side
chicks anymore. I will only focus on my baby
Me: okay I will just order myself something to
eat
Her: okay
.
I went to the kitchen and took the phone
ordering pizza.

6 MONTHS LATER

AMOGELANG
.
how time flies, things have been going well at the
office can't say much about my love life. Olivia
has been side lining me whenever it comes to her
baby and the results Josh gave me came back
stating I was not the father. All the hope I had
for me and Lihle was gone. I came back early
from work and went to see Olivia. I was shocked
to see Michael and his suitcases going in the
house.
.
Me: what's going on?
Michael: oh didn't Olivia tell you?
Me: tell me what?
Michael: I'm moving in
.
Olivia came from her room with her big tummy
and she didn't seem to be in the mood even one
bit.
.
Me: Olivia what is this?
Her: Michael is moving in to watch over me
Me: but I can do that myself
Her: no you got a business to run and besides this
is not your…
Me: stop saying that, she's my daughter
Michael: step daughter
Me: why are you letting him come between us
why?
Her: Amo I can give birth anytime I need him
here
Me: I won't pay just for you to live with this man
in this house
Her: its fine let me go pack then
Me: wait…. Its fine he can stay
Her: its only for now. After I give birth I'm all
yours
Me: I hope you mean it
Her: I mean aaah
Me: (worried) what?
Her: (smiling) she just kicked
Me: can I?
Michael: no, I think you should go
.
I looked at Olivia hoping she will ask me to stay
.
Her: yeah I think you should go I will call you
.
I said nothing I just took my jacket and drove to
my house. The moment I opened the door a little
boy ran to me.

I looked at the handsome boy hugging my knees
smiling. It was was a mirror of my younger self
.
Him: daddy
.
I picked him up and walked to the kitchen. Lihle
was cooking I didn't know what to say.
.
Him: mommy daddy's home
Lihle: (smiling) its about time , go watch TV
Him: I want to stay with daddy
Lihle: daddy is tired he needs to rest. Do as
mommy says then you will be reward
Him: okay
.
I put him down still mute. I didn't know what to
say to her but I had to ask
.
Me: is he mine?
Lihle: yes you can see that
Me: but the DNA…
Lihle: I gave him the wrong sample
Me: (angry) you kept my son away from me!
Lihle: I needed time to think
Me: think about what? You're selfish
Lihle: I know but I have thought things through
and I want us to give things a try Amo. You didn't
file for divorce because you know we have a
chance of fixing things
Me: I'm in love with someone else
Lihle: you mean Olivia
Me: you have been spying on me with what money?
Lihle: I have been getting updates from a girl
called Sihle
Me: that bitch
Lihle: its time we grew up Amo and acted like
adults Chris needs a stable home
Me: more of a stable mother I'm not the one who
ran away.
Lihle: I almost got killed my Austin when he found
out I was pregnant. I had to skip the country or
else he would have killed me for real scared that
I might go to report him to the police plus I had
to be sure who was the father
Me: you robbed me 5 years of being with my son
Lihle: I know and I'm sorry. I think its time you
let go of Olivia and focus on us
Me: no I love her
Lihle: Sihle was right about you following her like
a sick puppy. I heard she and Micky are shaking it
off under your roof. Stop paying for that house
you don't owe her anything. I'm sure baby daddy
can take care of her
Me: she will be mad at me, why am I even
discussing this with you?
Lihle: because I'm your wife Mrs Amogelang
Dibuseng.
Me: eish I'm done
Lihle: leave her before I tarnish her name to the
papers. If you "love her" leave her or else I will
deal with her myself.

AT MICHAEL'S MOMS
.
Zodwa was doing the dishes when her mother in-
law came to join her.
.
Her: Makoti
Zodwa: yebo ma
Her: are you still going through with it?
Zodwa: yebo ma
Her: isn't there anything I can do
Zodwa: no ma. I tried talking to him but what
does he do he moves in with her
Her: he will come around
Zodwa: its been months mom but still its like I
forced him to marry me. I know what I'm worth
and I won't be played like this
Her: he will get over that girl, its the baby that
makes them get so cosy
Zodwa: well I'm taking Lubanzi back home with
me
Her: I won't allow that slut to win. Grow balls and
be there for your man
Zodwa: I give up ma its useless fighting a fight I
won't win. I guess Michael is not man enough for
me. I'm not a fighter and plus I heard that girl is
violent
Her: that is nothing
Zodwa: I don't want to die and leave my child, I
want to see him grow it doesn't take much to get
someone killed. That's why I don't fight with
Michael he can just put poison in my food and just
kill me its that simple
Her: hhay I guess there's nothing I can do
Zodwa: I'm divorcing him ma end of story
Her: ey I hear you… let me go check on my
grandson

AT AMOGELANG'S HOME
.
it was his first time having dinner with what
seemed to be a normal family. After having dinner
they watch a movie animations. He then went to
bath his son and dressed him. His heart ache
when he realized he had missed so much.
.
Chris: daddy are you sad?
Him: no I'm happy I really missed you
Chris: I missed you too but mommy told me you
were working so we can go to bed full and have
clothes
Him: that's right
Chris: and that you send kids to school.
Him: (smiling) she told you that?
Chris: yes I can't wait for you to send me to
school and learn AEOIU
Him: (smiling) AEIOU
Chris: that's what I said
.
He looked being his ear and saw his birth mark.
He smiled and said
.
Him: yep you're mine
Chris: yep My name is Chris Dibuseng the son of a
business man and the most prettiest woman in
earth
Him: and who is that?
Chris: Mom
Him: (smiling) you're a good boy come let me take
you to bed
Chris: okay
.
He carried him to the guest room. He put him to
bed.
.
Him: goodnight
Chris: you have to read me a story
Him: a story
Chris: yes
.
He looked around the book and saw no book and
decided to create one.
.
Him: once apon a time there was a king and a
Queen they had a handsome prince then one day
there was heavy rainfall and the prince got swept
away by the flood they were so devastated then
one day the prince came back a strong man and
they were happy the end
Chris: your story is funny daddy
Him: (laughing) did you like it?
Chris: it was okay
Him: goodnight
Chris: goodnight
.
He kissed his forehead turned off the light and
went to his bedroom. He found lihle putting on
lotion only in her panties. Her body was still
petite and her breast were still the same proving
that she never breast fed.
.
Him: what are you doing here?
Lihle: I'm going to sleep
Him: you know this is not your room
Lihle: I'm going to sleep with my husband in our
bed
Him: why are you doing this?
Lihle: doing what?
Him: this Lihle!
Lihle: I'm just being your wife my love there's
nothing more to it. I have changed
.
She stood in front of him and put his hand on her
panties and he couldn't help himself but to play
with her bean. She moaned smiling as it felt good
and she got wet.
.
Lihle: this cookie is yours Mr Dibuseng. Let me
give you the family you have always wanted. I was
confused at first but now I have come to my
senses. She's confused and it will take her time
to come to her senses. Help me Mr Dibuseng keep
the promise I made to our Prince. The promise of
him having two parents who love him dearly. I
know you're dealing with a lot there's no rush we
can take it…
Him: sshh….
.
He French kissed her then he took out his fingers
from her pussy and licked them then kissed her
again making her taste her pussy. He pulled away.
.
Him: let me go shower

TWO DAYS LATER
.
OLIVIA
.
I got discharged from hospital and with me I had
my precious baby girl and her name was Mayah.
Michael helped me get in the car he then joined
me.
.
Him: are you okay?
Me: yes
Him: she's beautiful like her mom
.
I managed to forge a smile. At the back of my
head was Amo, he had stopped calling me ever
since I was bow staying with Michael, I don't
even know what led me to let him back into my
life. People around me gave up on me and now I
have a baby, I feel cursed.
.
Him: are you sure you are okay?
Me: yes I'm just tired I need to go home and call
Amo
Him: I think it's too soon for…
Me: I miss him, I have neglected him far enough.
Him: but our daughter…
Me: she's also his daughter
Him: okay I won't fight with you
Me: please take me home
.
I could see he didn't want Amo around his
daughter but I missed him and needed to be
around him to feel his love and just make up for
lost time. He drove me home, he didn't stay too
long after a while he had to go to work and no he
wasn't working for Amo. He resigned a few
months back.
.
I decided to call my mother and tell her about
her granddaughter. It rang and she answered.
.
Her: hello
Me: hi ma its me your daughter Olivia
Her: oh Olivia how can I help you?
Me: (sad) I wanted to let you know I safely
delivered my baby girl
Her: oh I'm happy for you
Me: you don't sound happy
Her: I'm happy
Me: I'm sorry
Her: for what?
Me: for disappointing you
Her: I don't know what you want me to say
Me: anything
Her: I wash off my hands off you.
Me: (tearful) please ma don't…
Her: you should have been continuing with your
studies but no you chose to stay with that boy,
the very same boy who showed you flames not so
long ago. You went from hero to zero I'm done
with you. You're doing all this because everyone
around you is being soft on you. Don't ever come
to my house stay with that boy and carry on
wrecking peoples homes. Why do you force to
walk on my steps when you still have time to
change
Me: (crying) mom please don't do this I need…
Her: its time you woke up!
.
She hung up on me. I was hurt my own mother had
just disowned me. I felt like a lost coarse. The
door bell rang, I dried my tears and went to open.
Before me stood Zodwa I have never met her in
person but I have see her pictures on facebook.
.
Zodwa: hi
Me: hi Michael is not…
Zodwa: no I came to see you and don't worry I
won't take long
Me: okay
Zodwa: I'm here to ask you to leave my man
actually to leave my husband in peace so he can be
with his family
Me: you should talk to him about that, I didn't
force him to move in with me
Zodwa: relax I'm not here to fight but to talk to
you woman to woman. You know Michael is a
married man if you are okay upstairs you wouldn't
have let him move in with you and from I have
heard this house is not yours but your
boyfriend's. How can you live with another man
under another mans house?
Me: I don't know what you want me to say
Zodwa: back home you are known as a home
wrecker as we speak. You have lowered yourself
and degraded your mom's dignity in the
community. We all wonder how can a good woman
like her raise a whore.
Me: (tearful) if you want him you can have him
Zodwa: he's already mine (waving her hand
showing me her wedding ring) but you're a bitter
ex that doesn't want to see him moving forward
Me: (heard Maya crying) please leave
Zodwa: how can I go before seeing my daughter
Mara
.
He pushed me aside and I almost fell, thank God I
didn't because the I was stitched. I slowly
walked to my room and found her sitting on my
bed kissing Mayah's forehead.
.
Zodwa: she looks exactly like her father, she's
hungry
.
She stood up and gave me her carefully. I then
breast fed her
.
Zodwa: we will not neglect her. We will help you
with what she needs
.
She said then she walked out the door. After
breast feeding her and getting her to sleep. I
packed all Michael's belongs and left them
outside the door. I locked it and went to bed. I
woke up when I heard him knocking
.
Him: Olivia what is going on?
Me: I think its time you went back home to your
wife
Him: come on babe let's tal…
Me: don't call me that I'm not your babe just the
mother of your child. Please go back to your wife
Him: did she come here did she threa…
Me: no I just want to have my space. You can see
your daughter, I can draw a schedule for you
Him: what is going on?
Me: just go Michael please
.
He said nothing and after a few minutes I heard
his car leave. I could breath. I called Amo and it
went straight to voicemail. I had to see him and
there was no one I could leave her with. I took
her with me determined to make things right with
Amo
.
I got there and Sara opened the gate for me. I
rang the door bell and she opened for me.
.
Her: (smiling) hello Madame
Me: hi Sara I'm looking for Mr Dibuseng
Her: come in he went out but he will be back soon
you can wait for him
Me: okay
.
She was happy and it was weird I had this feeling
that something was not right, she didn't even ask
about my baby.
.
Her: let me go get you something to drink
.
She went to the kitchen while I went to the living
room. A young ran to me and stood next to the
couch looking at me then smiled. He had on his
Nike cap a black T-shirt and shorts. He looked
exactly like Amo only that he was light skinned. I
froze
.
Him: hi my name is Chris
Me: hi Chris
Him: what are you carrying?
Me: its a baby
Him: is it for mommy and daddy ?
Me: no
Him: (smiling) okay daddy is at work
Me: okay
.
Ran upstairs and I just knew I had to get out of
there. Sara came with the juice
.
Me: I have to go there's an emergency at home
Her: but…
Me: I really have to go I will come back later
Her: okay
.
I walked out and went back home
.

.
AT AMOGELANG'S OFFICE
.
Sihle came in and looked at his depressed face.
She was curious to know what was wrong but she
held back
.
Sihle: morning Sir
Amo: so you have been spying for my wife, how
did you even find her
Sihle: I can't tell you that
Amo: don't make me force it out of you
Sihle: well I got a friend who does IT so you know
Amo: but I hired a professional to look for her
Sihle: well it's clear he doesn't know how to do
his job. Anyway I came to remind you of your
next meeting. Its in exactly 50 minutes
Amo: sort out the boardroom then
Sihle: yes Sir
.
She went out then he got a call from the
receptionist
.
Amo: pearl
Pearl: you have a call from Mr Dibuseng Sir
Amo: okay pass it through
Pearl: okay
.
He heard a beep sound then he heard his father
.
Him: son
Amo: dad
Him: what is the matter
Amo: well Lihle came back
Him: well is it good or bad news?
Amo: (sighed) I don't know but I think you will be
glad to know you have a grandson
Him: (happy) huh I have a grandson this is good
news son. Finally a Dibuseng heir
Amo: I know his name is Chris and he looks
exactly like me just lighter in complexion like his
mom
Him: but you don't seem to happy, having second
thoughts about the divorce
Amo: I don't know dad many things don't add up,
Lihle is suddenly acting like an adult, she wants us
to work on our marriage and raise our son in a
happy home but I feel like she's lying to me about
something. I paid good money for someone to
track her down and they failed me
Him: what are you saying?
Amo: my P.A was spying for her dad how can Sihle
find her so easily while I couldn't. Unless the
private investigators I hired found her and
somehow were silenced about her whereabouts
Him: I'm still surprised that girl is still your P.A
Amo: she's good at what she does dad
Him: I think you should give things a try, you have
always wanted to have a family of your own.
Raising your kids in a happy home has been your
dream. I know the decisions your wife took were
stupid but its understandable because she was
just a teen remember she was only nineteen when
you married her. There's a reason why you never
went through with the divorce, I know you're
confused yourself but there's a reason
Amo: (sighed) I really love her but she was just
uncontrollable, her emotions were all over the
place, when I was going to divorce but somehow I
just knew she wasn't over him, I was desperate
for her to love me like she loved him but I guess
that was far from happening. She took him back
and pushed me away
Him: maybe she's not the one for you, give your
wife a second chance
Amo: well she can't just waltz her way back into
my life like nothing happened she has to prove to
me that she can be trusted and plus I need to get
the truth from her
Him: and how will you do that without hurting
your son?
Amo: I think she came back because she spent all
her savings and well she knew I would take her
back and pamper her for coming back with my son
Him: you're cutting her off?
Amo: yes the only treats she will get is when we
go out with our son and she needs to get a job
Him: (laughing) I doubt her parents wou…
Amo: she claimed to be mature now, if she runs to
daddy then that says otherwise
Him: I like your plan
Amo: I can't keep wasting money on these woman
who do nothing to improve themselves dad. I was
suppose to pay the 4 months rent that I owe for
the house I rented for Olivia so I decided not to.
I'm sure baby daddy will sort her out. I just want
to focus on my family now specially my son
Him: I can't wait to see him
Amo: hopeful we will come for the holidays
Him: I hope so too
Amo: I have a meeting to get to so have a good
day
Him: you too
.

AT MICHAEL'S HOME
.
Zodwa changed baby Lubanzi's diaper, Michael
came from the kitchen with his porridge. He took
Lubanzi and fed him, Zodwa sat next to him
brushing Lubanzi's hair.
.
Michael: I'm sorry for neglecting you two
Zodwa: I won't say its okay because you really
hurt me, leaving me on our honeymoon for a girl
that doesn't even love you
Michael: I don't know what I was thinking
Zodwa: but you're back now to your family. Stop
shaming us Baba kaLubanzi and be a man.
Michael: I know that's why I will never hurt you
anymore, you and my son mean a lot to me
Zodwa: I also think you should take the job offer
Michael: you know that would mean being away
from you guys. Canada is really far
Zodwa: this will do wonders to your career my
love and will bring in more money more money
means we will send our kids to boarding school
Michael: what will we do with Mayah, Olivia
doesn't work
Zodwa: I spoke to her and agreed to send money
for the baby every month
Michael: how much?
Zodwa: a baby is expensive so I thought R2000
will be okay
Michael: that's better, I will give you her bank
account so you can send it to her every month
Zodwa: okay. (Smiling) Mayah is so beautiful
Michael: (smiling) I know she's just God sent. Can
I go see her before I go tomorrow?
Zodwa: yes my love you can
Michael: thank you. I love you
Zodwa: (smiling) I love you too

Lihle sat down on the bench and tried them on
she looked at the assistant for conformation.
.
Assistant: you got the legs for it
Lihle: I will take them
Assistant: also this one it will look damn hot on
you
Lihle: how much?
Assistant: R3000
Lihle: I will take both
Assistant: (smiling) okay will that be all?
Lihle: yes sweetie, I need to get my pedicure
done in 25 minutes
Assistant: okay
.
She waited for them to prepare them for her
then she gave them her card smiling.
.
Assistant: please put in your pin
Lihle: (putting in the pin) okay
Assistant: it says decline
Lihle: (laughing) what you're crazy try again
.
They did it again and it said the same thing
.
Assistant: yep you're broke
Lihle: (pissed) I'm not broke, I'm Mrs Dibuseng, I
have money
Assistant: (looking at another assistant) Dansani
take back this shoes please
Her: okay
Lihle: mxm take them back they were ugly anyway
.
She walked out the shop embarrassed.
.
Assistant: Yoh girl did you see her toes
Dansani: they looked like Nik Naks
.
They both laughed, she felt like crying when she
heard them.

OLIVIA
.
I woke up hearing Mayah cry, I breast fed her,
then went to prepare a warm bath for her. I
bathed her after I was done with her I also went
to bath and did everything I had been instructed
to do by the doctor. I got a call from Michael.
.
Me: hello
Him: hey how are you and Mayah?
Me: we are fine thanks for asking
Him: that's good
Me: did you fix things with your wife?
Him: yes I did anyway I didn't call to discuss my
wife
Me: okay
Him: I'm going to Canada later on today and I
would like to see my daughter
Me: you're leaving and you are only telling me now
Him: I don't have to explain myself to you
remember I'm just your baby daddy
Me: but still we have to talk about Mayah how will
I raise her with no job?
Him: Zodwa will help you out with the baby
Me: oh, I guess she's the one who made me
pregnant
Him: don't pull that shit with me
Me: not long you were promising me and my baby
the world and now you're leaving, right after you
have destroyed my relationship with Amo
Him: truly speaking you are confused Olivia and
its hard loving a confused woman because you end
up confused yourself, I didn't realise what I had
till i went back to my wife. I'm glad you kicked me
out. I think you need to focus on yourself and
just build yourself
Me: oh
Michael: I have to go, I will see you later
Me: okay
.
I hung up and called Amo again and a familiar
someone with a familiar voice answered and it was
Sihle.
.
Sihle: Mr Dibuseng's phone how can I help you?
Me: can you please give Amogelang the phone
Sihle: I'm sorry but Mr Dibuseng is busy with his
wife at the moment, you know Mrs Dibuseng
Me: can you just stop being a bitch and just give
him the phone
Sihle: now now little miss side chick, you are
breaking the rules of being a side chick. You must
know your place phela Mrs Dibuseng the main lady
has arrived
Me: kanti why are you so bitter, is it because Amo
didn't give in to your demands?
Sihle: didn't give in how do you know?
Me: did you guys fuck?
Sihle: you never know
Me: you listen here…
Sihle: (laughing) you're the dumbest side chick
I've ever met
Me: stop calling me a side chick
Sihle: ey you are too needy, I don't see you
having a man anytime soon
Me: go fuck yourself
Sihle: I will pass on the message to Mr Dibuseng
Me: if you dare…
.
She hung up on me. I wanted to crush the phone
but I couldn't as Mayah started crying. I paid
attention to her.
.
.
Amogelang walked in to his office after walking
out the client and Sihle gave him his phone.
.
Sihle: Miss Masina called
Amogelang: Olivia?
Sihle: yes and she left a message
Amogelang: what did she say?
Sihle: go fuck yourself
Amogelang: what?
Sihle: that's all I heard Sir, let me get back to
work…
Lihle: (walked in breathing heavily) how can you do
this to me Amogelang
Amogelang: excuse us please
Sihle: okay
.
Sihle exited and Amo sat down looking at her.
.
Amo: you need to calm down, drink water
.
Lihle poured herself a glass of water, she finally
calmed down and sat down.
.
Amo: feeling better?
Lihle: a little
Amo: you should learn to calm down before talking
to me, a woman that goes crazy shouts and
screams is just a turn off for me
Lihle: I'm sorry
Amo: now what is the matter?
Lihle: my cards aren't working, what's happening?
Amo: I thought about us and stuff and realised
you are hiding some stuff from me. So until you
come clean I'm cutting you off on a few things.
Another thing is I don't like woman who sit
around and do nothing to improve themselves so I
got you a job in one of my friends companies
Lihle: tell me you're joking
Amo: we can work on our marriage if you agree to
what I say
Lihle: but I told you the truth
Amo: don't play games with me, take all the time
you need until then you're only allowed to drive
the Ford. I will give you an allowance of R1500
Lihle: what does that even buy?
Amo: you will figure it out yourself. I want a real
woman to be my wife not a trophy wife that can
be broken. I will spoil my son as his father and
I'm thinking of going home with him over the
holidays
Lihle: oh okay
Amo: go home and rest you're starting work
tomorrow
Lihle: as what?
Amo: you will find that out tomorrow
.

Lihle walked out of Amo's office. Sihle rushed to
her before she got in the elevator.
.
Sihle: hi Mrs Dibuseng
Lihle: hi
Sihle: its me Sihle, the girl that gave you
information about your husband
Lihle: I know you
Sihle: oh ummh so how is your boy, I saw his
picture in Amogelang's office
Lihle: correction its Mr Dibuseng for you, just
because you gave me information about him or
should I saying spying on him for me doesn't make
us friends. I can see you want him and I'm telling
you now to run like your friend Olivia cause you're
playing a dangerous game
Sihle: (fake laugh) I would never do that I
respect your marriage
Lihle: I'm watching you like a Hawk. One wrong
move you're out
Sihle: understood
Lihle: now go do what you're paid for by my
husband
Sihle: yes Madame
.
Sihle went back to back then Lihle got in the
elevator
.
.
OLIVIA
.
.
It was now 11 am. Michael and his wife Zodwa
arrived. I went to open the door for them.
.
Michael: hey
Me: hi
Zodwa: where's our little princess
Me: she's…
.
She walked in and went to my room. She came
back with Mayah in her arms. I hated the way she
did things and acting like this was her second
home.
.
Zodwa: gosh she's so cute, I feel like eating her
up
Me: what?
Zodwa: don't take it serious its just a joke
Michael: I got a few baby stuff you will need in
the car go get them
Me: yaz uyangihlanyela
Michael: its just a simple instruction you're too
lazy to do one simple thing
Me: I'm stitched up Michael do you know how
painful it is to move around the house. I'm
suffering I need help
Michael: go back and live with your mom
Me: she wants nothing to do with me I have
disappointed her too much
Zodwa: I will help her. I can come help with
cleaning and cooking every once and a while.
Michael: are you sure?
Zodwa: she can't suffer while I'm here, plus
when she suffers our daughter also suffers so we
have to do what we got to do
Michael: thank you my love you're such a good
woman
Me: yes thank you
Michael: can I hold her?
Zodwa: oh sorry
.
She gave him her daughter and Michael smiled
looking at her face and her holding on to his
finger with her little hand.
.
Michael: daddy will miss you Yayah
Zodwa: (smiling) I'm sure Olivia will send you
pictures of her
Michael: (kissing Mayah) please do that
Zodwa: let me go get what we bought for our
angel
Michael: okay
.
Michael sat at the couch opposite to mine
starring at his daughter. Hus wife came back with
few baby clothes and a pack of pampers.
.
Zodwa: I will send you money for food when I
come back from the airport
Me: okay thank you
Zodwa: pleasure
.
She sat next to her husband and they bonded
over my baby, kissing each other and saying sweet
nothing's to each other. Until it was time to go,
they both left and I could finally breath. I sent
Amo so many please calls time I had none left.
.
My heart was still crying for him, I know he is
trying to send me a message by ignoring me but
my heart refuses to give up. I know I treated him
like shit when I was pregnant and like Michael
said I confused him with my confusion but my
mind is made up now, I want only him.I know that
means I have to deal with Lihle but who cares as
long as I end up with him.
.
I got a call from the landlord, I remembered it
hasn't been paid from a couple of months and I
didn't have money but she was also a barking
toothless dog so I wasn't that scared of her.
.
Me: yellow
Her: (angry) I have been waiting for my money
and still…
Me: I told you I will pay soon
Her: you have been saying that for the past few
months
Me: you will get your money
Her: you don't know who I …
.
I hung up before she could say anything else I
was really tired of her threats. I wanted to send
Michael a please call but I had used all of them. I
took my baby and packed a few stuff for her. I
had R29 enough to get a taxi to to drop me off at
Amogelang's work place.
.
I went out and got a taxi, I arrived and went to
his office. He was shocked to see me there, I
could tell.
.
Him: what the fuck are you doing here… there
baby is too young to be going up and down are you
crazy?
Me: you left me with no choice Amo… I don't
understand what's happening between me and you
Him: (sighed) its simple I chose to go back to my
wife than to be with a confused woman
Me: (tearful) please Amo forgive me for hurting
you, forgive me for neglecting you
Him: stop it Olivia… I tried but you were just too
difficult, you turned against me and used me, I
paid for everything. The scans, for food the
house for everything and what did I get "No Amo
I think its best you stay away from me till I give
birth after all its not your baby" you used me. I
thought we were going to have a future together
but I was just dreaming.
Me: (crying) please don't say that Amo
Him: I'm done with you Olivia I'm done
Me: (crying) please Amo I need you
Him: you need to sort yourself out, now go before
I call security and start taking care of your
daughter like a good mother would
.
I dried my tears and stood up. I didn't look at
him in the eyes I just slowly walked out. When I
walked out the building I felt like I had been
ripped apart and had nothing to live for. I was a
burden to everyone and a failure. I looked at my
daughter sleeping she was one unlucky girl I
thought. I took a taxi back to my house.
.
All my things were thrown outside, I tried to open
the door but locks were changed. This was it, the
day I never thought would come. I was on my own.
I searched for Amo's watch I found it luckily. I
placed in my baby's bag. I took only a few things
that were easy to carry. I wanted to call Jane but
my battery was dead. I started my journey with
no direction. It was already late and I was scared.
.
I knocked on a few houses asking for a place to
say they all refused. My last option was under the
bridge. I passed by a group of boys , I think one
of them said something to me but I ignored them
and before I knew it I was being followed. I
picked up my speed , I hurried to some old
building it was dark and I have never been there
before. I saw them running towards me I ran the
pain I had down there was unbearable but I had
to run. I screamed as I got corned
.
Guy1: eh so you think you are clever
Me: please don't hurt me and my daughter
Guy2: we call you and you ignore us where are
your manners
Guy1: Spitjo take the kid I want to teach her a
lesson
Me: please don't… I just gave birth
Guy1: shut up rubber neck
.
My baby was taken from me, my identity stripped
away from me along with my clothes, I fought
them and the guy called Spitjo laid my daughter
on the ground and got a huge breek
.
Him: keep doing shit and I will show you her
brains
.
I gave up, all gave in to their demands. I got
beaten, They teared through my stitches, all I
could do was cry the pain was unbearable. They
didn't seem to hear my plea, they didn't seem to
care. I wanted to die and I did die inside. I got
weak and suddenly felt my heart beating slowly
then couldn't open my eyes as darkness took over
.
.

OLIVIA
.
I was drowning, my body my soul drowning in this
Ocean, I struggled to breath and then eventually
gave up. I saw a hand coming to pull me up but I
didn't try reaching it, I was tired of living, I had
no purpose in life, I was just a lost coarse. This
hand of a man pulled me up the moment my head
was out of the water I realized I was not in an
Ocean but a bath tub.
.
The man before me still holding my hand was my
father, he looked at me with his tearful eyes, and
said
.
Him: stop drowning yourself
.
I wanted to cry but tears never came out,
.
Him: (shaking me) asisekho isikhathi sokukhala
vuka mtanami
.
He said then let go of my hand I fell back into
the water, as my body was so heavy, I opened my
eyes to a white room, my body was in knot's like I
was hit by a train. I was alive I couldn't believe it
.
Jane: welcome back to earth
Me: (heart pounding) my baby… where's my baby?
Jane: she's okay, they never harmed her
Me: (tearful) I want to see her
.
I said wanting to get out of bed but the pain in
my private area gave me no chill. It was the type
of pain you felt in your heart. I cried a cry with
no tears it was forced I made noises like someone
who had flue. I only had a huge lump on my throat
that was hard to swallow, I had no tears
.
Jane: (hugging me) its going to be okay, don't cry
Me: (sniffing) its over, why didn't I just die
Jane: because you had to live, you had to live for
your daughter
Me: (calming down) can I see her now?
Jane: okay I will bring her to you
.
I waited for her to go get my daughter, the pain
reminding me what happened last night was there
but I couldn't focus on that right now I had to
see my baby girl. Jane came back with her. I took
her and just stared at her innocent sleepy face, I
realized of how blessed I am to have such an
angel
.
Me: (smiling) from now on its just you and mommy
okay?
.
I kissed her forehead. I sighed that was not just
a dream but a message from my father, the man
that refused to see me as a failure, the man that
never gave up on me. This was a wake up call.
.
Jane: you will be referred to a psychologist to
help you deal with what you're going through
Me: okay thank you
Jane: I think is best to stay here while you get
your treatment
Me: I have no where to go… I'm even scared to go
home, I'm tired of being a burden to mom
Jane: I will take you in till you feel better, you
need to be taken care of right now
Me: when am I going to be discharged?
Jane: for now this is going to be your second
home, I don't see you leaving soon we had to
stitch you up again and it will take time for your
wound to heal
Me: I understand
Jane: you're a strong woman, having to survive
that
Me: I don't know what to say
Jane: I need you to give me your mothers number
so I can talk to her and before I forget you will
have to talk to the police about what happened
Me: how did I even get here?
Jane: luckily the police heard a crying baby in one
of the buildings, the found those dougebags they
tried to run but they got shot, one is dead and
the other one is fighting for his useless life in
this hospital but that's not important
Me: they were three
Jane: the other one was was also captured
Me: thank God
Jane: I'm still mad at you for not asking for help
from me
Me: I'm sorry
Jane: how are you feeling
Me: I feel pain down there
Jane: I will give you a few shots to ease the pain
and put you to sleep
Me: okay
Jane: let me have this little one
.
She took Mayah then I gave her my mothers
numbers.she went out for a few minutes after
that a kind nurse came and injected me the pain
disappeared as I fell asleep
.
.
It all came back to me like it was a movie, but its
wasn't I could still still see their faces, panting
and groaning and so heavy, their sweat hovering
me. I looked at my crying baby with a death
sentence hanging over her head. I set a little
prayer asking God to protect her…
.
Voice: Olivia! Olivia wake up!
.
I opened my eyes and next to me was my mother,
the face she had was the very same face she had
after my father died, but how I thought she was
done, I didn't even think she would come here,
I'm such a disappointment. She squeezed my
hand, leaned over and hugged me crying, I failed
to hold back and cried.
Me: If only I screamed a bit louder or fought
them I wouldn't be here but it was either me or
my daughter, I had to just give up.
Her: don't you dare blame yourself my baby don't
you dare its not your fault okay we are going to
get through this as a family okay?
Me: okay
Her: you are my daughter and I love you and I will
never neglect you, no matter how many times
we're going to fight do not be afraid to come
home, I'm your mother and I will always protect
you and my granddaughter
Me: (sniffing) okay
Her: I have spoken with Jane and I'm going to
stay with you two till you feel better
Me: thank you
Her: I love you
Me: I love you too
.
She hugged me till my tears dried up.
.
.
The next day the police came to question me and
I told them everything that happened, it was
hard as I had to relieve that moment over again,
but I wanted justice, I wasn't going to let them
win and hurt other woman No.
.
TWO WEEKS LATER
.
I got discharged and sent home to be with mom
and my daughter since they quickly. All my things
were recovered from that sight so I got my
phone, Amo's watch and Mayah's things. The
moment I got out I was determined to make life
great for me and my daughter
.

OLIVIA
.
.
Me and my mother were basically living with Jane
now and my mother helped out a lot and even took
care of Jane's little girl whenever she was home.
.
Her: so do you plan to tell that boy what
happened?
Me: no, he will label me as a bad mother. I don't
want people to know about this right now ma, I
just want to heal in peace without people feeling
sorry for me
Her: I know, you have to take things one step at a
time. How are the sessions with the psychologist
Me: they are good, I don't know ma
Her: talk to me
Me: she says I should cry and let things out but
its hard I just can't
Her: you have to deal with what happened if you
don't do it now it will affect you in the future
Me: right now mom I just want to get better, get
a job and work for my daughter, I don't want
Mayah to suffer
Her: she will suffer in the future, don't worry
about that for now please my child
Me: (getting emotional) I hate going there and
reliving that whole thing over and over again ma,
I'm just tired, on the other hand is the fucken
trial, I will have to face those bastereds soon,
why did it have to be me, why?
Her: (hugging me) that's enough Olivia (tearful)
you're not weak, you're not going to let this
destroy you. You're my daughter you're Dudu and
Stan's daughter. This will not kill you, you are
strong.
Me: this is all so draining on the other hand I
have to deal with Michael's wife, she said she will
send money to help out with the baby
Her: leave them to me, I will deal with them when
it comes to Mayah
Me: okay that's a good idea
Her: every time you're feeling down just think of
your daughter, she still needs her mom. Don't you
want to see her go to school for the first time,
wearing little black shoes and that uniform
Me: (laughing) I can't wait for that
Her: who will protect her when you're gone, you
did it one and you can do it again, how did you feel
when you were told she was unharmed?
Me: (smiling) happy
Her: (brushing my cheeks) you did what any
mother would do to save her baby, you reacted
the way any mother would protecting your little
one. Mayah needs you to protect her not that
coward
Me: (laughing) I know
Her: go take a bath, take your medication and go
to bed. I will bring Mayah to you now after I bath
her
Me: okay, thanks mom you're the best
Her: I know
.
AT AMO'S HOME
Lihle walked in the living room and threw herself
on the couch. Amo was helping Chris crayon his
drawing book.
.
Amo: an Apple is not yellow, its green
Chris: no daddy mine is red
Amo: (smiling) Apples that are red aren't healthy
Chris: but I love red Apples
Amo: the Dibuseng men only eat green apples to
make them strong and have muscles
Chris: haa I want a green apple dad
Amo: go ask for it from Auntie Sara
.
Chris ran out looking for Sara.
.
Amo: long day at work
.
Lihle didn't respond, she looked up the ceiling in
deep thought.
.
Amo: (poking her) hello
Lihle: (annoyed) what?
Amo: that is no way to talk to your husband
Lihle: why did you get me a stupid job like that
Amo: a lot of people would kill to have your job
Lihle: being someone's P.A is like being someone's
lap dog
Amo: as long as you have that attitude you will
never be happy
Lihle: (tearful) I hate this job, I hate my life
Amo: there's nothing to hate you're working for
your own money
Lihle: I don't want to working I want to be a
housewife
Amo: if you want that then tell me the truth
about how you were able to keep my son away
from me for so long
Lihle: (silent)
Amo: well then that will be my que
Lihle: I need to go take a show..
Chris: (running to his father) daddy I took a bite
(showing him an Apple) now I can run faster
Amo: okay show daddy by running to the garden
.
He ran as fast as he could and Amo followed him
then turned back and said
.
Amo: I expect my beautiful wife to make us
dinner tonight
Lihle: what?
Amo: you heard me
.
He then went out to join his son
AT JANE'S HOUSE
.
Jane to Olivia's room and found her breast
feeding Mayah.
.
Jane: see now I miss my baby,
Olivia: (smiling) you can still go back to get her
Jane: (laughing) I dropped her off like two hours
ago at her dad's place
Olivia: I know
Jane: so what happened with Amo?
Me: he went back to his wife
Jane: oh
Me: yeah so I'm on my own now, trying to make
ends meet so I can support my baby girl
Jane: (smiling) I know you can do it
Me: thanks, where's Mia?
Jane: I won't lie I haven't heard from her since
our shifts got changed
Me: I guess she was right about everything
Jane: that bitch can give good advice sometimes,
I just don't want her to think she's too clever by
agreeing to anything she says
Me: oh I see
Jane: but how are you feeling?
Me: (laughing) the order of your questions is
crazy?
Jane: I do that all the time just to confuse the
enemy
Me: okay, I'm okay
Jane: that is good with me (looking at Mayah) I
think she's full
Me: oh okay (playing with her) you're full my little
princess
Jane: can I go with her to my room?
Me: sure
Olivia's mom came to Olivia with a glass of juice.
.
Her: what are you busy with?
Olivia: I have realised there are so many jobs I
can do to make money
Her: Olivi…
Olivia: no mom, I don't want to get used to you
treating me like I'm a Queen. I got to make
things happen. I have decided to help student who
are doing their first year in medicine be like a
tutor
Her: well that's not a bad idea but where will you
do it
Olivia: well it has to be where I feel safe, so I
will have to talk to Jane about doing it here
maybe in the garage
Her: okay that is not a bad plan at all
Olivia: I'm still doing a research, so hopeful I will
find a way forward
Her: I'm so proud of you
Olivia: (smiling) thank you mom
Her: give me that girl's number
Olivia: search for them in my phone

She took the phone and searched for them

AT JANE'S HOUSE
.
Olivia made herself food and sat next to her
mother who was having a cup of coffee.
.
Her: what's wrong?
Olivia: I have called few people who needed a
tutor regarding their studies and they all turned
me down because I'm a dropout
Her: then cancel out that idea
Olivia: I did, I'm just disappointed
Her: its life just move on
Olivia: I sent out my CV, I'm hoping to get a job
as a waitress or cashier
Her: that's not bad we can even go home and you
can work on the shop
Olivia: I don't want to go back there
Her: it was just a suggestion
Olivia: I know but I won't go, did you talk to
Zodwa?
Her: that girl ignored my calls the moment I told
her I was your mom, I then called my friend and
she was pretty understanding because it had to
do with her granddaughter
Olivia: I'm glad
Her: she will send R1000 every month to help out
Olivia: (smiling) thank God, it will really help out a
lot. I won't have to worry about baby things
Her: I will also help out and I was thinking of
taking Mayah back home with me to half the
burden
Olivia: that would be great, I will come with you
just to make sure she settles in well
Her: okay
Later that day
.
Sara helped Lihle to prepare dinner for her
family. Sara told her some of the things that
were happening while she was gone
.
Sara: yoh madam you have a friend, I've never
seen such. She made this house her house
Lihle: that bitch was planning to snatch him from
me all along
Sara: and she had him wrapped around her finger,
Mr Dibuseng did everything that girl wanted
Lihle: (grating tomatoes) I almost lost my man
Sara: madam the way she was good I almost lost
my job for not doing what she wanted, I was
forced to love her , that girl needs to be
punished, don't let her get away with this
Lihle: I won't waste my time with her, life will
deal with her
Sara: you are indeed a good women
Lihle: i have so much to deal with Amogelang is
also something else
Sara: but God is great at the end He opened Mr
Dibuseng's eyes. Phela that girl played him, he
rented a house for her and lived with her
boyfriend
Lihle: (shocked) yoh
Sara: you see Mr Dibuseng got so skinny not like
now
Lihle: I'm going to feed him and make him happy
as his wife
Sara: he is gaining weight, you and my little boy
being here is a blessing
Lihle: (smiling) how I missed your sweet words
Sara: I missed you too Madame, looks like we're
done…
.
There was a knock on the door
.
Sara: let me go get that
Lihle: okay
.
Sara went to the door, she then came back.
.
Sara: Madame someone wants to see you
Lihle: who is it?
Sara: I have seen him talking to Mr Dibuseng
before I just don't know his name
Lihle: okay I'm coming
Lihle went to the door and was shocked to see
Zakes one of the private investigators Amogelang
sent to her.
.
Lihle:what are you doing here?
Zake: we need to talk
Lihle: why didn't you call me so we can meet
somewhere private?
Zake: ey you don't dare tell me what to do after
what you did
Lihle: what did I do?
Zake: you infected me with HIV
Lihle: (shocked) what are you crazy?
Zake: ey you slut don't play games with me, I
know you slept with all the people Dibuseng sent
to look for you, I'm not stupid
Lihle: I'm sure I'm not the last female you slept
with
Zake: ey my wife doesn't want me as we speak. I
won't be the only one losing everything, I will tell
Dibuseng the truth about you opening your legs to
all the investigators he sent
Lihle: if you dare I will show you who I am, nx
leave before I call the police
Zake: I hope the guy used protection
Lihle: fuck you!
.
She pushed him outside and they bumped on to
Amo who was covering Chris's ears with his
hands, looking at them disgusted
.

.
Zake looked at Amogelang and forged a smile
.
Zake: Mr Dibuseng
.
Amogelang said nothing just looking at him not
blinking, he was furious that could be easily seen.
Zake quickly rushed out.
Lihle: (smiling) my love you're back
Amo: pack all your burgage and leave
Lihle: Amo what he said was a lie
Chris: daddy what is mommy saying?
Amo: (removing his hands from his ears and
lifting him up) let's go help mommy pack
Chris: packing? Where is she going?
Lihle: babe don't do this, I even cooked dinner
Chris: I want pizza not Mommy's dinner
Amo: (walking in) we will order something boy
Chris: where is mommy going?
Amo: she's going to live with grandma Buthelezi
Chris: grandma Buthelezi?
Amo: yes your other granny you will meet her one
day let's go pack
Chris: okay
Amo and Chris went to their bed room, Amo put
the empty suitcase on the bed and helped Chris
taking out clothes from the closet
.
Lihle: (tearful) please Dibuseng let's talk about
this
Amo: there's nothing to talk about I would be a
fool if I let you stay after what I've heard
Lihle: I had to sleep…
Amo: mind your language in front of my son
Lihle: Chris go ask Aunt Sara to dish for you
Chris: but I want to pack
Lihle: Chris I won't tell you again
Chris looked at his father
.
Amo: go boy
He ran out then Amo continued stuffing her
clothes in her suitcases
Lihle: please Amo I'm pleading with you
Amo: no Lihle we're done, it all ends here. I can't
believe you did it without protection
Lihle: I had no choice they Wa…he wanted it raw,
what's wrong with you?
Amo: do you know your status?
Lihle: no but I know I'm not HIV
Amo: (closing the suitcase) let's go
Lihle: I'm leaving with my son
Amo: you have no right to make demands right
now
Lihle: he is my son
Amo: he is son too, maybe its time you felt how I
felt when you kept him from me
Lihle: you didn't even know he was yours
Amo: then that is a bonus
Lihle: (tearful) Amo please I'm begging you don't
do this, I love you
Amo: you don't know how to love, I don't blame
you after all you got forced into me. I'm setting
you free now
Lihle: I don't want to be free I want you, let work
on our marriage, we made vows right remember
for better and for worse till…
Amo: dont give me that shit when you're the one
than left in the first place (sighed) I don't think
I can try make things work with a woman that
easily opens her legs to anyone. I'm sorry I had
to cheat on you with your friend but one thing I
never forget is a condom. Now just imagine you
had decided to go with the wind but I still used a
condom whenever I did it outside
Lihle: I know it was a stupid decision
Amo: any you're learning from it now, I hope it
won't happen again in your next marriage
Lihle: you have so much to lose if you leave me
Amo: I'd rather lose all that than shortening
spending time with my boy, women who sleeps
around are a turn off to me
He took her suitcases and went downstairs as she
followed him. Sara looked at them confused
Lihle: I will be back
Sara nodded then Chris ran to give her mother a
hug
Lihle: you take care of yourself while I'm gone,
daddy wants to spend time with you that's why
I'm leaving you here. I will come to take you to
visit me okay?
Chris: okay
Lihle: I love you
Chris: love you too
She hugged him then went out to the car and
Joined Amo. He was already done loading her bags
in the car and waiting for her in the car. She got
in still in tears
Amo: why are you crying?
Lihle: (crying) I don't want to leave my son
Amo said nothing as he started the car and drove
off.
AT THE BUTHELEZI MANSION
.
Amo and Lihle arrived, her heart pounded hard as
she wondered what would be her parents
reaction, mostly her fathers reaction. The
helpers took her suitcases in as her parents came
to greet them
.
Mr Buthelezi: (smiling) what a lovely surprise, its
about time to came to visit us for a while
Mrs Buthelezi: (looking at the suitcases) I'm glad
you're going to stay for a while
Amo: (smiling) I wish that was the case Mr and
Mrs Buthelezi but no
Mr Buthelezi: oh what's wrong, where is my boy?
He asked looking at his daughter who was looking
down the whole time
Amo: I came to drop your daughter off, I'm sorry
to announce that I can't no longer be married
with her
Mrs Buthelezi: but I thought you were fixing
things
Amo: I think its best she tells you why when I'm
gone but I'm divorcing for real this time. Mr
Buthelezi I love doing business with you and if
your contract ends with this marriage then its
fine. I will accept it
Mr Buthelezi: can we talk about this?
Amo: no I can't stay, I left my son with the maid
and she might want to knock off soon
Lihle: you go and be with him, I will explain
Amo: and it better be the truth
Mrs Buthelezi: kanti what is happening here?
Lihle: I will explain ma, when will I see him Amo?
Amo: I will call you about that. Enjoy the rest of
your night
He said then left
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
Amo first went to get tested in the clinic and the
results came back negative. He went to work and
got into his office calling his father. He picked up
and Amo told him everything
.
Amo: I'm done with women dad
Him: don't give up now
Amo: all they ever do is break my heart dad,
imagine if I fucked her. I'm glad I followed my
instincts
Him: you're still not in the clear
Amo: but still I doubt I have it, I never slept with
her. I dipped my finger the and licked it
Him: (laughing) bad boy
Amo: I'm done dad
Him: you will find your woman there's no rush now
Amo: from now on I'm just gonna go with the
flow, I'm tired of being played, I miss being the
bachelor, I need to get laid and just have fun
Him: (laughing) I hope that life doesn't swallow
you up
Amo looked at Sihle walking in and placing the file
on a table close to the door
Amo: I have to go
Him: go where
Amo: you can't ask a businessman that
Him: (laughing) okay
He hung up and went to close the door. He hugged
Sihle from behind and kissed her neck, He moved
her closer to his table and touched her cheek
kissing her then he sat her on the table
unbuttoning her blouse...
.
Sihle: (while he kisses her neck) Amo I don't
think its a good idea doing this here
Amo: don't worry this office is sound proofed
they won't hear a thing
Sihle : Oh... (he pulled out her panties) Um.. Your
wife might come in
Amo: (putting on a condom) don't worry about
her… you've long wanted this right?
Sihle: Yeah, please be gentl-(He kissed her and
slid in) Uuhhh God... Mmm
He moved the files back and hammered it slowly….

TWO YEARS LATER
.
OLIVIA
.
I'm at the airport in a well pressed uniform,
shining shoes and my hair in an element chignon.
Why am I here at this hour? Because I'm on
airport stand by if any of my colleges cannot
make it for the next domestic flight, I'll be
travelling in his or her place. Jet airways doesn't
take any chances
I had already packed and was prepared leaving
for London. I started going through the routine,
Cabin crew have to check in their baggage, go
through security and report to the dispatch desk
for a flight briefing, Since we are flying to
London. We have to fill in several forms
(immigration, customs declarations, baggage, sign
in sheets as Jet Airway crew and the special C-
909 form, since were operating to London.
We take off right on time, the crew start service
then we serve lunch to the passengers in our
respective zones. We are on call for about an
hour and a half, till all passengers meals. We are
careful as possible when it comes to their meals.
Sometimes a non- vegetarian passenger is upset
to discover that all none veg meals are over.
Others change their minds about their meals and
I have to replace their meal.
It is a trifle annoying that passengers have the
choice of informing the airline of their meal
choices but they fail to do so. Then on board they
throw tantrums if they don't get what they like.
I make my way to attend another passenger that
is not happy about the meal they order.
Me: greetings Sir how may I help you?
Him: (angry) what the fuck is this? Do you call
this food?
Me: (politely) what would you like to have Sir?
Him: I want spicy chicken wings
Me: I'm sorry Sir we have run short of what you
desire
Him: (throwing the menu card at my face) don't
fucken tell me that
The gentleman next to him
The man: easy mate, she has already explained
they don't have it what must she do? Fly out of
the plain to get it for you?
Him: its her fucken job
The man: did you inform them the meals you
wanted before we took off
He kept quite
The man: stay in your lane. The poor girl is just
doing her job. Would you even like it if your
daughter, sister and mother was treated like
this?
Him: no I'm sorry miss Masina
Me: (picking up the card) its fine Sir
Him: bring me chicken salad
I nodded then informed another member to serve
him for the rest of the flight. We then served
the cockpit crew theirs then ate some ourselves.
Fast forward we landed and come to a standstill
we see all the passengers off, the man that gave
me a hard time few hours ago smiled at me. We
make sure that the aircraft galley, cabin and
equipment are in decent condition to hand over to
the next operating crew. Then we collect our
baggage, get into the crew coach waiting on the
tarmac and head to the customs department
where the IFS submits the crew form authorising
our stay in London. Then its off to our hotel 15
minutes away from the airport, there we have a
short de-briefing and check in.
I got into my room and rush to my bathroom. I
breakdown and cried I have this moments every
now and then specially if I have been mistreated
at work. I feel weak, I feel empty, I feel like
damaged goods. No man wants me, I got dumped
two months ago because according to him I was "
too much to handle" and " a girl that had a lot of
baggage was a no" for him. He's sorry about what
happened to me and suddenly he feels he's not
good enough for me. That's the story of my life.
I freshen up and go to my bed looking at my little
girl's pictures, she's the reason I'm here. The
one that builds me. I never wish what happened
to me to happen to her. I prayed those rapist die
in prison 15 years was not enough they deserved
more.
Voice: sweetie let's go have dinner
Me: I'm coming
Voice: okay
I head to the hotels crew's lounge with my
colleagues to have dinner after that I go to my
room and sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
I head to a few nearby shops to buy a few things
for my daughter. Things were expensive and I
had to be wise with how I spent my money. I saw
a beautiful dress that would look great on her and
admired it.
Voice: who's the lucky princess?
I quickly looked back and it was the dark
gentleman that saved me from that man's
thunder. He was really tall and muscular, standing
there smiling at me showing his black gums and
white teeth.
Me: Sir
Him: (smiling) call me Day… Day October
Me: (smiling) Mr October
Him: what's your name miss… Masinga right?
Me: (laughing) Masina, my name is Olivia
Him: (taking my hand) how are you?
Me: (pulling it back) I'm fine
Him: (looking at the dress) so how old is she?
Me: 2 years old
Him: I'm sure she looks beautiful like her mom
Me: (smiling) she's more beautiful
He looked at me as I smiled it was so weird. I
blushed and looked away. He gently grabbed my
chin with his hand making me to face him.
Him: Why are you so sad?
I didn't know what to say, was it that obvious.
Was it that obvious that I was dying inside or he
was just guessing. He pulled me to himself and
hugged me. His manly scent made me feel safe, I
didn't even know him maybe I feel this way
because of what happened on board. I pushed him
back
Me: I'm okay (cleared my throat) I'm sure you
came to get you baby something
Him: (smiling) yeah, let's go pay for that dress
Me: you don't even know me
Him: (playful face) I do you're Olivia Masina
Me: (serious face) seriously what do you want?
Him: okay fine I want us to go out together
Me: I have a boyfriend
Him: your friend told me you have none
Me: who?…oh Cassie that…
Him: just lunch
Me: I just got out of a relationship and…
Him: (taking the dress) let's go pay for the dress,
you will tell me more lies after that
Me: I'm not lie…
He took the dress and went to pay for it pulling
me behind him, We got out of the shop then he
gave me the plastic.
Him: few years from now you will be Mrs Day
October. I won't force you to anything or even go
out with me because I already know you're mine
I froze he leaned in and baby kissed me. A cap
stopped by then he got in and then after a few
minutes he was gone. I had lunch then reported
for duty back at the hotel, for the return flight
home. We did the same routine all over again
after that took off and landed home at airport. I
knocked out after a few hours to go and be with
my family since I have the next two days off.

AT LIHLE'S APARTMENT
She was on the phone with Amogelang's father
while packing her files in her bag.
Her: Amogelang is losing himself, you're his
father I'm sure you can help him focus
Him: when he told me he wanted to have fun I
thought it was going to be for a while
Her: this is getting out of hand dad, he's
changing woman left right and centre its been two
years now and his turning to the bottle
Him: and who do we have to blame for that?
Her: that is not important, what is important is to
help him, he's the father of my son
Him: Amo has many problems, they can't be
solved over night
Her: then come and help him overcome them
Him: my schedule doesn't allow me to do that
right now
Her: tell me so I can help him then
Him: you can't help him neither can i, he refuses
to talk about it or get help but I will call him and
try talk sense into him
Her: thank you that's all I ask
Him: where's my grandson?
Her: let me call him for you
Him: okay
Her: CHRIS GRANDPA WANTS TO TALK TO
YOU!
Chris: I'm coming
He came running to his mom, then Lihle gave him
the phone. Lihle heard a knock then went to open.
Lihle: mom
Mom: (hugging her) hey how are you?
Lihle: I'm okay
Mom: where's my boy?
Lihle: he's on the phone with his grandpa, let me
go get his school bag
Mom: okay
Lihle: (packing Chris's lunch) I'm actually running
late ma and I have to stop by Amo's office later
Mom: why do you care so much do you want him
back?
Lihle: (laughing) come on ma, I care because he is
the father of my son nothing more. I have
accepted the divorce and finally got myself a new
man who loves and appreciates me, earning my own
money I'm just blessed
Mom: I'm proud of you
Chris came back and gave his mom her phone.
Chris: morning granny
Mom: morning boy
Lihle: granny will take you to school today okay
boy
Chris: (happy) okay
Mom: let's go boy
Lihle's Mom took Chris school bag and head out
with him. Lihle followed them shortly after going
to work.
AT AMOGELANG'S OFFICE
He lifted her up with her skirt pulled up and place
her on the table, spreading her legs.
Amo: (rolling in a condom) you want it my little
princess?
Her: yes daddy
He kissed her again as she touched his chest and
held his huge boner he pulled her panties aside
then he slid his eggplant
Amo: (breathing down her neck) Oh shit... Fuck...
Sihle: Amogelang Mr Nkosi has been….
Sihle stood there shocked seeing Amogelang
banging a girl she didn't know. He stooped, took
off the condom and put back his dick in his pants,
the girl got off the table and pulled down her
skirt.
Sihle: (tearful) how can you do this to me
Amogelang?
Amo: do what?
Sihle: leave now bitch!
Her: it takes one to know one bitch!
Amo: (to the girl) go I will call you later
She put on her heels discarded the condom to the
bin and headed out. Sihle closed the door and
looked at Amo who didn't seem regretful about
his actions
Sihle: so what do you have to say for yourself?
Amo: you should learn to knock
Sihle: how can you do this to me Amogelang, I'm
your girlfriend
Amo: (pouring himself a glass of whiskey) did I
tell you that?
Sihle: its been two years…
Amo: so?
Sihle: I love you Amogelang why can't you see
that?
Amo: I see you took this the wrong way. Me and
you were just having harmless fun
Sihle: for two whole years?
Amo: (pulling her close) stop crying you still have
your share
He made her face the other way bending her
down then pulling up her dress. He pushed aside
her panties and rubbed himself on her cookie at
that time Sihle was in tears. He felt guilty and
pulled down her skirt, he put his manhood back in
his pants and hugged her.
Amo: I'm sorry but I don't love you
Sihle: (slapped him) you jerk
Amo: I will have you transfered somewhere else
Sihle ran out crying then Amo sat back at his
chair drinking more alcohol.
Moments later Lihle knocked
Amo: go away
Lihle: (walking in) hey
Amo: what do you want?
Lihle: to talk to you
Amo: I don't want to talk
Lihle: you can't keep drinking out your problems
Amo: if you're here to lecture me…
Lihle: you are the father of my son and Chris still
needs you. I know we're no longer together but
we're your family we can help you
Amo: you can't help me, no one can
Lihle: but we can try….
Lihle's phone rang and it was Amo's father
Lihle: hello
Him: I tried calling him but his phone is off
Lihle: I'm with him let me put you into
loudspeaker
Him: okay
Lihle: (putting him to loudspeaker) you can speak
now
Him: Amogelang Dibuseng (silence) AMOGELANG!
Amo: Papa
Him: what is going on son, why are you doing this
to yourself? You have worked so hard to give up
now, you even have a son someone you can live for
Amo: you will never under…
Him: I know and I'm sorry about what happened
and I always tell you it will always affect you in
life and there are many ways to deal with it than
just using women and drinking. Do you want your
son to go through what you went through?
Amo: (tearful) no
Him: that's because you know the hardships of
growing without a father. Fix yourself son or
come home so we can deal with this together
Amo: I will be okay
Him: Lihle take him home so he can rest. I will call
him later and I will send someone to hold things
for him there while he takes a few days off
Lihle: yes Sir
Lihle hung up then Amogelang followed her out.
She drove him home and made sure she left him
in bed
Lihle: where is Sara?
Amo: she went home, one if her relatives is sick
Lihle: oh okay, bye then
Amo: can you please stay?
Lihle: I can't my boyfriend is taking me out so I
can't turn him down again
Amo: he accept you even though you…
Lihle: I tested and I'm not HIV positive even if I
was it was not going to be the end of the world, I
would still slay like the Queen I am
Amo: (smiling closing his eyes) things have
changed
Lihle: its never too late for change (smiling) bye
Amo: bye
She walked out then drove home.
LATER THAT EVENING
Amogelang woke up with a headache. He made his
way to the kitchen to pills and it was raining. He
heard a knock and went to open, a girl stood
before him wet with her bag and sad face
Her: please don't turn me away I have no where
to go
Amo: (worried) come in…
.

.
She walked in and stood by the door afraid of
messing his squeaky clean floor.
Amo: let me go get you something to dry up… just
follow me
She followed her up and was led to one of the
guest rooms.
Amo: there ate clean towels in the bedroom, I will
bring you some of my clothes
Her: okay thank you
Amo went to get her a pair of his boxers and t-
shirts. Then came in the room, she screamed
when she saw him and covered her little breast
with her hands
Amo: (quickly facing the other way) … shit I'm
sorry… I should learn to knock
Her: ummh okay
Among: you can wear this then come downstairs
at the fireplace so you can get warm (putting
them down) I will be downstairs I'm sorry again
Her: okay
Amo walked out and went downstairs to make
fire. He drank the pill then made them hot
chocolate. She walked downstairs in Amo's
boxers and t-shirts, she was cute with a doek on
her hair she sat a bit far from him on the couch.
Amo: you won't get warm from that distance
She sat closer to him then Amo handed over her
cup of hot chocolate. She took a sip and smiled as
it tasted great.
Amo: you like?
Her: yes thank you
Amo: (pulling the blanket over her) what's your
name?
Her: Ayanda
Amo: and your surname?
Her: Mbokazi
Amo: how old are you?
Her: 18
Amo: well my name is Am…
Her: Amogelang Dibuseng. I once saw you on TV
at my friends place years ago
Amo: (smiling) yeah that's me, so where's your
family I'm sure they are worried about you
Her: they are back home, we are poor and I
didn't do good at school last year so I thought I
should come to the city and get a job. I got lost
and ended up here
Amo: that's so sad
Her: thank you for allowing me to stay, I need a
job I will do anything even cleaning
Amo: well its your lucky day I'm in need of a maid
I will pay you R1500
Her: that is too much I will only take R700 the
rest will be for rental
Amo: okay that's still cool with me
He looked at her innocent eyes which were
shining brightly to the fire and felt his heart
skip. She sipped more of her hot chocolate then
realised Amo was watching her and quickly looked
down shyly blushing
Her: I'm tired
Amo: you can go to bed
Her: (putting the cup down) okay goodnight
Amo: goodnight
He watched her going upstairs and continued
watching TV.
.
OLIVIA
I called Mayah and made her fit in the dress she
looked so beautiful, I took the plastic to the bin
and a card fell out. I took a look at it and it was a
business card that belonged to Day October.
Me: (smiling) smart ass
I put it at my purse
Mayah: mama I look like a princess
Me: yes you do my princess
Mayah: I want to show granny
Me: okay go ahead baby
I followed her out and my mother admired her
while she walked to her. She hugged her and
kissed her they had that special bond together. I
sat next to her while Mayah ran to my room.
Me: I really miss Vuyo now
Mom: (laughing) I miss my boy too but ey he's
happy with his other family
Me: I called him two days ago and I can tell he's
happy
Mom: so how is work and everything?
Me: work is great I think. Some days are great
and some are not so good. I really enjoy working
there and traveling the world
Mom: who's Mr October?
Me: what …what about him?
Mom: the dress I saw the slip he swiped his card
Me: (laughing) oh its some guy I met while
shopping he just paid for it, there's nothing more
to it he's just a chanced
Mom: (smiling) okay, well you don't need to be shy
about getting a new man
Me: the thing is I don't think I'm ready to get
my heart broken right now and that guy seems
too good to be true and a bit too controlling, he
called me a pier
Mom: weren't you lying?
Me: well… kind of I wanted to get out of the
situat…
Mayah came with Amo's watch on her head.
Mayah: mama look
Me: (taking it off her, annoyed) no Mayah stop
playing with mommy's things you have so many
toys around the house
She looked at me with her teary eyes saying
nothing and I felt guilty
Mom: go play with your drum my girl
She ran to her room while mom gave me that
awkward look.
Me: what?
Mom: I still can't believe you're hanging onto
that watch, I thought you had long returned it
Me: I will return it ma just not now
Mom: you can't moved forward if you keep such
things. You told me this watch means a lot to him
why don't you return it?
Me: I'm not ready to let go mom and please don't
make me feel guilty about it. I will return it one
day I swear
Mom: okay do what you think its best but we
won't get along if you will keep snapping like that
when Mayah does something wrong.
Me: it was an honest mistake I'm sorry, I don't
want her to break it before I return it
Mom: I hear you
Me: I'm tired I need to get to bed
Mom: bath Mayah first
Me: okay
I stood up and went to get Mayah
THE NEXT DAY
Zakes realised inside of her then pulled out. He
put back his pants and opened the door for her.
They moved from the back seat to the front
Her: ey my money
Zakes: how much?
Her: R160
Zakes: you're too expensive it wasn't that nice
Her: mxm I still want my money
He paid her then he drove her to a nearby club
and left her there then made his way to the
filling station.
Meanwhile…
Zodwa made her way out of the shop after buying
Lubanzi muffins and she was arguing over the
phone with Michael
Zodwa: no Michael I won't move back with your
mother no
Michael: why what did she do?
Zodwa: she is self centred I'm just tired of her
Michael: oh this is your way of leaving so you can
cheat on me?
Zodwa: oh so your mom is my body guard?
Michael: Zodwa my love please just go back home
or I will stop sending you money
Zodwa: that's fine with me, I will find someone
who will give it to me
Michael: you wouldn't dare
Zodwa: try me Michael..
She hung up and almost got hit by Zakes car.
Zodwa: (screaming) oh my God
Zakes: easy I wouldn't hurt a beautiful lady like
you
Zodwa: (picking up Lubanzi who was crying) you
almost killed us
Zakes: (smiling getting off the car) I'm sorry
He walked out to them and Zodwa go to see his
perfect body. He was indeed made to make a
woman go crazy. His smile and dimple made Zodwa
weak before he could say anything else
Zakes: (taking Lubanzi) let me drive you home as
my apology
Zodwa: (blushing) why not…
He opened the door for her and gave her Lubanzi
then went on to sit at his seat

AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
He walked downstairs and found Ayanda making
breakfast she was dancing to the loud music and
not noticing Amo's presence. She turned around
and found Amo starring at her admiring the view.
She shyly looked down and continued
Amo: (smiling) morning
Aya: morning Sir how did you sleep?
Amo: I slept great and you?
Aya: (plating for him) I slept like a baby, I
thought I should make you breakfast before you
go to work
Amo: (looking at it) I don't eat eggs, Sara is the
one who ate them
Aya: (disappointed) oh
Amo: but thanks for making it
Aya: can I make you something else
Amo: just make me a jam sandwich
Aya: okay, (taking the plate) I won't let this go to
waste
Amo: (smiling) okay
Aya: when do you leave for work so I can press
your shirt?
Amo: I took a few days off
Aya: (getting jam from the cardboard) are you
sick?
Amo: I just need to rest I've been working a lot
Aya: (giving him his sandwich) I understand, let
me give you space
Amo: (smiling) come on that is rude, you are living
in my house we might as well get used to each
other
Aya: I'm sorry I just… I don't want to make you
miserable in your own home
Amo: no you're not
Aya: (smiling) okay
Amo: so tell me more about yourself
Aya: well my name is Ayanda..
Amo: (laughing) you already told me that

down) I failed matric last year my mom was
disappointed. From a poor background I was
burden to her and the rest of the family
Amo: so you came to my house, what a coincidence
Aya: (felt guilty) I have an confession to make
Amo: I'm listening
Aya: I got sent by Aunt Sara to help out since
she has to be home taking care of my mom, I was
suppose to call her when I get here so she can
tell you about me but I got mugged. Asked people
where you lived and got directed here. I figured
you wouldn't believe me if I told you I was Sara's
niece so I said I had no where to go so you won't
throw me out
Amo: she called me last night and told me about
you
Aya: I'm sorry
Amo: I don't like people who lie , you tell one lie
and all your truths become questionable

Aya: yes Sir
Amo: just call me Amogelang
Aya: okay…
AT OLIVIA'S HOME
Jane came to see visit her after have not been
seeing her for over a month. Olivia poured her
juice and offered her cookies.

manager
Me: (laughing) yep

Jane: I want to know him
Olivia: he's just a guy I met in London nothing
more
Jane: a potential future husband tell me more
Olivia: I don't see him as my husband, he seems
bossy and controlling
Jane: there's nothing wrong with a man that
takes control that means he can protect you while
loving you
Olivia: I don't want someone I can't be free when
I'm around them, I want someone like Amo he was
just the per…
Jane: he was perfect because you were already in
love with him before he could even utter one word
of love to you, with that mentality you make it
hard for other guys to impress you
Olivia: he just seems to high from my standards
and a bit old
Jane: so is Amo but you dated
Olivia: there's so much pressure when you date
guys like them, with Amo you have to work for
your own things and this guy well I don't know he
might expect more than I can give
Jane: did you guys go out on a date?
Olivia: no but he gave me his card (smiling) more
like tricking me to take it home with me but I
just can't bring myself to call him
Jane: well take all the time you need until you are
ready and maybe do a little research about him.
Is he really that old though?
Olivia: he might be thirty something
Jane: come on its not that bad you're 23
Olivia: I'm still young and dealing with a lot
Jane: like I said there's no rush but you have to
move on, Amo doesn't even thing about
Olivia: (sighed) I guess you're right…

Zakes: ummh let me see…

Zakes wife spoke with her friend with a low voice
Mimi: I think you should stop seeing that man you
already infected your husband with the disease
Her: we don't know for sure who came with
sickness
Mimi: but he is your husband
Her: and he has not been faithful to me, he didn't
even make a fuss about finding out he was
positive, that's because he has been sleeping
around
Mimi: I don't want to get married if its going to
be like this
Her: if he was faithful he would have asked how
he got it and get very angry at me but I know he
took out his stress on his side CH… (Zakes walked
in) yep Chicken is the best meal ever

Yaya pushed him back as she felt uncomfortable
Yaya: no
He quickly stopped and sat next to her.
Amo: I'm sorry
Yaya: I just can't I'm sorry
Amo: its okay I won't force you
Yaya: getting up I will sleep on the floor
Amo: no you're a lady I will sleep on the floor
Yaya: okay
Amo: are you hungry ? You can order…
Yaya: I will be fine I just want to sleep
Amo: okay
Amo took one pillow and laid on the floor. Yaya
turned off then lights and got into bed. Amo took
his phones and texted his father
Amo: dad
Him: boy how are you holding up?
Amo: I'm fine I guess
Him: did you take your pills?
Amo: I forgot
Him: take them now
He searched his pocket and took out 1 then used
his phone to get water. He drank it and went back
to lay down.
Amo: done
Him: good what's up?
Amo: I got a new maid
Him: so?
Amo: I don't know how I feel about her
Him: you're falling in love with a maid how old is
she?
Amo: she's 18
Him: yoh 18 don't do what I wouldn't do
Amo: I almost did but she stopped me before we
could do anything serious now I feel guilty about
this whole thing, I know we just met but I really
like her
Him: eish son this is a tough one
Amo: its the way she looked at me and treats me
like a norma l person not the highly Mr Dibuseng.
Now I ruined all that she probably thinks I'm a
pervet. I'm on the floor as we speak I've never
slept on the floor before in my adult years dad
Him: you have to tell her all this and about the
floor good luck dealing with a broken neck
Amo: really dad?
Him: I don't know son not long you weren't coping
still moaning that girl
Amo: Yaya is not dramatic like Olivia plus Olivia is
living her life, she hasn't even tried to call me
just to ask how I am. I called her once she said
she was busy then boom she changes her number
Him: I hear you son
Amo: talking to you isn't helping so I'm just going
to go to sleep
Him: goodnight
Amo: goodnight
He put his phone under the pillow and went to
sleep
Meanwhile…
.
Underneath the covers Yaya opened her diary
using her little touche. She took her pen and
started writing
.
Yaya: dear diary. I have now become a maid to a
rich man, he kissed me today and I wanted to kiss
him back but I couldn't. I'm afraid he will see me
as a slut or just use me for his sexual desires. I
do feel something from him but not sure what it
is. I don't want to get hurt in the end and I don't
want to lose something I've kept almost my whole
life for just a one night stand. I have to know
first his true intentions that is even if he's
interested in me a maid
.
She closed her diary and turned off the light.
Then placed it under her pillow and went to sleep.
AT DUDU'S HOME
.

asleep then went to put her to bed. She came to
the living room and sat next to Olivia who was

Her: and she would love that ey your baby is too

snatched it
Yaya: (yelling) this is private
Amo: I will call you later
Sara: is that her?
Amo: I will call you
He hung up and looked at her angrily packing her
stuff in her little bad. It was his first time

Amo: (standing up) Yaya
Yaya: don't call me when you see me
Amo: (smiling) I'm sorry
Yaya: did you read it?
Amo: well yeah
She went to him and started hitting him
repeatedly at his chest with her little hands. He
wanted to laugh at her she didn't even hit him

Yaya: how can you read it, how can you do that to
me… its private, don't you know the word private?
Amo: (smiling) I'm sorry

She looked down shyly
Amo: (sighed) okay I'm sorry I read your diary
and I do like you a lot. I know we just met and
I'm sorry not I'm not sorry about the kiss
because it felt right. I saw you wrote stuff about
being a slut and what what but I see you more
than that and hell year I want you to give me a
chance to prove to you I'm more than that
Yaya: you just want to get under my skirt
Amo: if I wanted to I would have done it

Yaya: I'm just a maid
Amo: that doesn't matter along the way we can
make plans on how you can improve yourself
Yaya: but I'm not ready

Yaya nodded then Amo leaned in and French
kissed her. She kissed him back and Damn was
she a good kisser.

THREE WEEKS LATER
.
OLIVIA
.
I was assigned to London again I can't say I was
happy because I really hoped to go to New York
to finally know all the fuss people made about it
but sadly I had to go to London. Everything went
well all the passengers behaved well I'm glad.
We did what we normally do check in in our hotels
same routine every time. I laid down not feeling
hungry then took out Mr Day October's business
card. He is a private businessman in the import
export business. Sounds rich and annoying I
thought to myself, I took out Amo's watch and
smelled it
I know its wrong but I miss him. I miss him a lot,
he has been in my mind these past few days. The
watch smelled his cologne and I loved it. There
was so much I wanted to tell him but I couldn't.
.
.
AT DAY'S APARTMENT
.
He was watching basketball with his friend Ivan.
Ivan couldn't help himself but to notice how
miserable his friend was.
Ivan: still miserable over that girl
Day: lady
Ivan: whatever come on man just let it go already,
she's not interested
Day: I can't just give up, maybe she stopped
being an air hostess I heard that job doesn't pay
Ivan: that's none of your business
Day: if its going to rob me my dream girl it is
Ivan: you said she had a kid you know baby
mama's are a No No, she's probably with her
baby daddy as we speak giving it to him hard
Day: (annoyed) if you have nothing good to say
shut up
Ivan: seriously dude you're a rich guy girls love
that, she would have called you by now
Day: maybe she's not that…
His phone rang and it was an unknown number he
picked up
.
Day: October speaking
Voice: ummh hi its me Olivia
.
He quickly got off the couch and stood on his
feet with his heart pounding. His friend looked at
him curious to know who he was talking to.
Ivan: who is it?
Day: so you finally called after 3 weeks?
Olivia: oh so you were counting?
Day: (softly laughing) I won't admit to that
Olivia: anyway I called you because I'm bored
Day: (laughing) ouch that hurts but with your
lying abilities you don't seem to amaze me
Olivia: (laughing) call me a lier one more time and
you will never hear from me again
Day: (laughing) okay I'm sorry my Lady, how is our
daughter back at home?
Olivia: I'm in S.A
Day: (smiling) I'm not that dumm I know the
codes, you're here
Olivia: (laughing) okay fine. She's doing great I
miss her a lot but this is my last trip as an air
hostess
Day: what?
Olivia: yeah I'm resigning
Day: can we meet tomorrow?
Olivia: sure we can meet where we last met
Day: thank you can't wait
.
He hung up and put down his phone smiling.
.
Ivan: that smile man I can tell its her
Day: and she agreed to meet me tomorrow
Ivan: I guess this is the day you have always
wished for Day
.
They both laughed
Day: let me go organise things for tomorrow I
want it to be perfect
Ivan: what are you planning?
Day: its a surprise
Ivan: use protection
Day: (laughing) shut up
.
He took his car keys and drove to his house.
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
Olivia woke up and took a long shower still
deciding if she was ready for this or not. She
finally got out dried herself then applied lotion. A
notification from facebook came in and it was
from Jane.
.
Jane: are you ready?
Olivia: I don't know I'm having second thoughts
about all this
Jane: you're probably nervous he is a hot guy
Olivia: (laughing) you're a freak
Jane: just act normal
Olivia: I feel like throwing up
She ran to the toilet and threw up she then went
to rinse her mouth and took her phone
.
Jane: I hope you're not pregnant
Olivia: that would probably make me Maria
Jane: try to talk like a lady I know you like talking
out loud as if people are deaf
Olivia: what?
Jane: and minimize your lying
Olivia: I will speak only the truth today
Jane: and don't bring up what happened to you
that day, he might feel sorry for you instead of
knowing you better
Olivia: I understand
Jane: good luck and behave
Olivia: thank you
.
She logged out and put her phone in her handbag.
She wore her wedges and a beautiful white knee
height flare dress. Since it was a bit cold she
wore her Jacket. Put on a pink lipstick then went
on to meet with him.
.
.
She waited for him for a couple of minutes and a
black Jeep parked before her and the man she
was waiting for got out and opened the door for
her
.
Olivia: you're late
Day: you didn't even set the time
Olivia: is that your apology?
Day: why would I ….
Olivia: (walking away) okay
Day: (stopping her) okay okay wait woman why do
you have to be so difficult
Olivia: is that your sorry?
Day: okay (mumbling) I'm sorry
Olivia: what?
Day: I said I'm sorry don't embarrass me more
than this
Olivia: (smiling) stop giving me ideas
Day: (smiling) can we go now?
She got in the car and soon after that Day drove
off.
.
Day: when I got your call I almost went crazy
Olivia: (laughing) you are lying
Day: I'm serious, plus my friend was mocking me a
few minutes ago I wanted to go "in your face
Ivan"
Olivia: (laughing) gosh you're so funny I'm
starting to doubt it you're really a businessman
Day: the plan was to be rich not to look rich
.
He looked at her with his sexy eyes and smiled a
little bit. Olivia looked away extremely blushing
she felt like her cheeks were turning numb and
her body was on fire. They came to a stop
Day: (singing) I'm sexy and I know it
.
Olivia bursted out in laughter
.

Zodwa: is that a threat?
Michael: don't make me do something I will

Michael: we can go there together so we can try

Zodwa: this glass is already broken it cannot be

He watched her go to the bathroom then decided
to eat the Bacon and eggs.

AT JANE'S HOUSE
She made Olivia juice then went to sit next to
her at that time Olivia was playing with Jane's
daughter
.
Jane: honey go play in your room mommy wants to
talk with Aunt Oli adult staff
.
She quietly got off the couch and took her doll
then went to her room
.
Olivia: she's really quite, how old is she again?
Jane: she's three she talks when she feels like it
Olivia: yoh Mayah is such a pain in the ass. She
calls Amo her father
Jane: she's just a kid
Olivia: (smiling) I'm taking her with me to London
after I've settled down pretty well
Jane: (smiling) that's a great plan but I'm more
interested in knowing the October guy
Olivia: (laughing) I should've known that's why
you called me here
Jane: come on out with it
Olivia: well I told you he took me out and it was
amazing I really enjoyed it, he's really sweet and
charming but…
Jane: but?
Olivia: I don't know he's old
Jane: so?
Olivia: I'm not sure if I want anything serious
now, I never really got to enjoy myself. You know
living freely enjoying my own money and just
spoiling myself. I had a really rough start
Jane: did he say he wants to marry you?
Olivia: the very first day we met he called me
Mrs October I'm just puzzled
Jane: well you can take him you want to take
things slow, man like him are few. If you let go
you might regret yourself at age 60. Just give it
a try if he messes up leave him there and then
Olivia: (sipping her juice) you're right it wouldn't
hurt to try
Jane: just get to know him better, he could be
the one
Olivia: or just go Michael on me
Jane: take that out of your head right…
.
Olivia's phone rang it was a number she didn't
know. She ignored it
.
Jane: who is that?
Olivia: I don't know…
.
Her phone rang again it was the same number.
.
Jane: just answer it, its not a private number is
it?
Olivia: no
Jane: answer
Olivia: (put it on loudspeaker) Olivia
Voice: hey beautiful its Day
.
A broad smiled appeared on Olivia's face while
Jane made heart shapes with her hands, annoyed
Olivia smacked her hands the Jane laughed
silently.
.
Day: babe are you okay?
Olivia: I'm okay where did you get my number
Day: I got it from one of the air hostess you used
to work with. I'm landed here a few hours ago
and I have a business meeting to attend tomorrow
so I thought I would call my lady and take her out
on a second date, that is if you are free
Olivia: (smiling) that's not a bad idea, where
should we meet?
Day: we can meet at my hotel room
Olivia: I ummh don't think I can…
Day: its okay we can meet at a restaurant called
Pigalle
Olivia: oh I know it, okay I will be there
Day: later
Olivia: later
.
She hung up and looked at Jane who was laughing
in tears
.
Olivia: what?
Jane: you really love the dude finish and klaar
Olivia: (mxm) excuse me I have to go
Jane: looking like that
Olivia: (laughing) its not like you can borrow me

Jane: (laughing) whatever go enjoy yourself

She stood up and left.

MEANWHILE
.
Amogelang was talking on the phone with his
father.
.
Him: not long you told me you love this girl now
you're not satisfied
Amo: I just don't know anymore dad
Him: you need to make up your mind stop being
confused
Amo: I'm not confused I think I love her
Him: as long as you still think Amogelang there's
no moving forward
Amo: you're not helping me with anything dad
Him: I think you should come home for a few
weeks
Amo: I can't keep running away from my problems
Him: but yet you're failing to fix them
.
He heard a beep sound.
.
Amo: hold on I got an incoming call
Him: okay
.
He received the call
.
Amo: Dibuseng speaking
Voice: I cannot go through with the meeting can
we reschedule it for next week?
Amo: okay Mr Wilson no problem
.
He hung up and through the glass he saw Olivia
walking in a restaurant dressed in a simple dress
in her vans, his heart melted when he saw how
beautiful she was and was glowing. He went
straight to a tall dark guy that seemed to be
waiting for her. Her smile made him weak the way
they hugged and kissed tortured his heart.
Swallowed the most painful lump and shoved his
phone on his pocket then went to his car
.
He got got home and called Yaya there was no
answer he went to her room and heard the sound
the shower made. He took off all his clothes and
walked in. Yaya stared at him shocked
.
Yaya: Amo what are you…
.
He said nothing as he kissed her roughly and
made her face the other way. He pulled he hands
behind her and pinned them on top of her butt
with one hand then teared his way inside her. She
screamed feeling pain going down on her knees as
Amogelang pounded her going deeper...

AT PIGALLE RESTAURANT

After they got what they ordered Olivia looked
at Day then blushed and looked down.
.
Day: (smiling) why won't you look at me?
Olivia: its nothing
Day: I'm glad I make you blush
Olivia: (laughing) who said I was blushing
Day: you're turning pink
Olivia: (sipping her juice) what are you doing

Day: to see you and a little bit of business
Olivia: okay
Day: (taking her hands) I want something serious
Olivia
Olivia: okay

Day: I'm 33 and you?
Olivia: 23

or does it?
Olivia: I don't know
Day: ummh just give me a month or two to prove
myself
Olivia: (smiling) okay
Day: and I really hope to see Mayah
Olivia: you will but I have to warn you, that girl

Day: (laughing) I'm sure we will get along well
Olivia: and for the record I'm coming to London
to further my studies in being a fully qualified
doctor
Day: (happy) wow this is great news
Olivia: I know, so you're an October but you're
black
Day: (laughing) October is my mothers surname
Olivia: and your father's is?
Day: I don't know much about him all I knew was
my step father. My mother gets emotional
whenever I ask her about my father
Olivia: so you don't know him?
Day: yes but I think I look like him since I don't
look like anyone from my mom's side
Olivia: he must have been really handsome in his
days
Day: (laughing) and an ass hole for hurting my
mother
.
They stared at each other for a while and laughed
then went back to eating.

AT AMO'S HOUSE
.
Yaya woke up then Amo came in holding a tray
with food and painkillers.
.
Amo: (sitting on the bed) hey
Yaya: hi
Amo: how are you feeling?
Yaya: I've been better
Amo: I got you painkillers
Yaya: (tearful) thank you
Amo: (feeling guilty) I'm sorry about what I did
Yaya: (taking the pills silently) I want to be left
alone
Amo: please don't report me
.
Yaya got under the blanket and cried. Amo
regretted it
.
Amo: I'm so sorry
Yaya: (crying) please leave
.
He got off the bed and went back to the kitchen.
Yaya cried till her tears ran dry. Her phone rang
then she answered without looking who it was.
.
Yaya: hello
Sara: so you ignore my calls this days?
Yaya: Aunt Sara
Sara: yaz wena girly you are playing games I see
Yaya: (crying) what do you want from me huh your

Sara: oh sorry my girl this means change of plans

Yaya: I can't believe you right now
Sara: listen here now my girl…
Yaya: you go to hell
.
She hung up then slowly walked to the bathroom
and took a shower. She dried herself took Herr
phone and went to her room. She wore her long
black dress and a doek. She went downstairs and
found Amo sitting on the couch.
.
Yaya: we need to talk
Amo: okay
.
She sat on the couch opposite to him. She felt
disgusted of him.
.
Yaya: you have a problem Amogelang Dibuseng
Amo: I know
Yaya: you are still not over that girl, Olivia and
you know it
Amo: I'm not…
Yaya: shut up! (Tearful) that was not love you

Amo: I know
Yaya: I won't forgive you for what you did
NEVER!, I can't believe I lost my innocence to
you
Amo: (tearful) I'm sorry
Yaya: you need to go talk to her and get over
whatever it is that you have with her and takes
your meds
Amo: I am taking them
Yaya: you're lying when did you last have them?
Amo: okay maybe I slack a bit
Yaya: you are depressed
Amo: (angry) I'm not depressed
Yaya: see what I'm talking about
Amo: I'm sorry Ayanda I love you
Yaya: you know nothing about love and nothing
stops me from reporting you right now and I know
you can't afford bad publicity now, when you
managed to keep your divorce and love affair
away from the papers all along
Amo: (swallowed hard) so what should I do?
Yaya: I want R800 000
Amo: (shocked) what?
Yaya: I will not report you to the police
Amo: maybe R200 000 not that kind of money
Yaya: even this R800 000 won't heal the pain I'm
in, the pain I have to carry for the rest of my
life. My sister was right men are dogs
Amo: what will you even do with the money?
Yaya: I will take myself to school, take my
parents to the best hospital and build them a
house
Amo: I can pay for all that
Yaya: I want the money or else I will convert it to
shares and I want it noiw
Amo: okay okay okay I can't withdrew that
amount of cash today. I need to go straight to
the bank
Yaya: then what are you waiting for
.
Amo took his car keys and ran towards the door.
.
Yaya: wait!
He stopped
Yaya: if you decide to go get a gun or get someone
to kill me, I have made a video and asked my
friend to release it to the world just in case I
disappear they will know exactly where to look
for, you have 4 hours
.
He said nothing and rushed out to get the money
from the bank
.
.

.
.
"He rammed into her tearing down her walls the
pain she felt was unexplainable. She hears
Richards voice while Amo is on top of her pinning
her down, she tried to free herself but he applies
more force and more power to his strokes the
pain is too much she cries while peeing on herself.
" did you fight him?" "Did you scream for help?
Or you enjoyed it" She tries to scream but she
had no voice"
.
She wakes up breathing heavily, it was one of her
nightmares. She feels a sharp pain on her
stomach and tries breathing exercises.
.
Yaya: there there baby work with mommy here
.
She eventually calms down and the pain stops.
She hears her mother talking to someone outside.
She looks at the time and its 8am. He gets off
the bed and looks out the window, she saw's Mrs
Nkosi talking with her mother pointing at the 2
room they have managed to build.
.
Her: I'm so proud of her, the first time we got
the grant she went to build it and ordered
building material for our house now look in just
four months we already have a house and
extending it to be a four roomed house
Emma: she's really smart I wanted to help but
she said she can do it all by herself. She really
inspires me
Her: I need to ask though
Emma: yes
Her: after she gives birth you will take her baby?
Emma: we are still deciding on that. If she
doesn't want the baby me and my husband will
gladly raise him or her together if she doesn't
want to give us its okay we won't force her
Her: eish yena uthwele manzima
Emma: huh?
Her: she carries a huge burden
Emma: (smiling) I understand
Her: she's over working herself I'm worried,
yesterday she forced to work in the garden and
collapsed
Emma: she should take things slow
Her: I hope you can talk to her
.
Yaya walked out of her room in her pyjama's and
went to greet Emma and her mother.
.
Emma: (smiling) how are you feeling?
Yaya: I've been better, its too hot can we get
inside?
Emma: okay
Her: come to the kitchen I will make you
something to eat
Yaya: I hope Monde didn't make eggs this
morning yoh I can't deal with that smell no way I
would die
Emma: (laughing) and I have been longing for
them for these past few days
Yaya: well you can't have them. How is Hope?
Emma: she's okay I left her with daddy,
Yaya: then why are you here do we have a class
Emma: we have a doctor's appointment today
remember?
Yaya: (relieved) oh I forgot
.
They sat in the kitchen while her mother served
them with tea and cookies. She ate then topped it
with Ace instant porridge.
.
Emma: you go get ready I will wait in the car
Yaya: okay
.
Emma went to her car Yaya went to bath after
that she joined her then they hit the road.
.
Emma: how have you been seriously?
Yaya: I don't know some days I'm good and some
I'm not
Emma: tell me about the father of your baby,
what happened between you two?
Yaya: well after school life became hard for me. I
thought I had failed I still remember it like it
was yesterday. I came home with my statement
my mom was happy I got Diploma while my Aunt
came to brag about her friends daughter getting
distinctions. She called me a failure and that I
might as well become a maid.
Emma: didn't you think about rewriting?
Yaya: I didn't know what that even meant. I was
told it was done by rich people. I didn't have
friends who would advice me about such because
I was below their standards. I used to be
sidelined even on study groups on the other hand
I have a problem at home. We have no income
since dad became sick plus the social workers
took their time in helping us. I would go around
houses doing laundry after school and be paid
with food, as time went both my parents became
too sick
Emma: it was hard
Yaya: my Aunt called me and said she had the
solution to my problems. She was going to take
care of my family while I went to work for his
boss. The plan was to make him fall for me, get
pregnant and marry him for his money. I hated it
but she told me all the benefits I would get from
building my parents a home and taking them to
hospital plus taking my siblings to the best
schools in south Africa. It was like she was
reading my mind. I went through with the plan
Emma: I can't believe she did that
Yaya: (laughing tearful) I got there and got
mugged but I found a way to get to his house. He
let me in few days after I fell in love with him.
Though I realised he still loved his ex, I thought
it was going to pass but it didn't. He took my
virginity after that he became a bit distant. One
day he came home and I was at the shower he
walked in naked and just raped me, if that was
even rape (tearful) I remember him pinning me
down or should I say choking me saying "why can't
you love me Olivia, why don't you come back to
me" I cried not knowing what to do. I seem to
freeze when I'm scared. I didn't even scream I
just cried while he teared his way in.
Emma: (tearful) you should have reported him
Yaya: I blackmailed him to give me R800 000 for
my silence. I knew I would get nothing in the end
if I reported him. Rich people get away with
anything in this country. I was going to take my
family out of poverty with that money but I guess
it was a stupid move. He called someone and that
person told me what I had to hear installing more
fear in me, he painted me as a slut and a gold
digger and I believed him. (Crying) even when I
told Sara she didn't give a damn about me being
raped but told me of how stupid I was to demand
that much early. I guess he is the bigger man and
I'm just a gold digger
.
Emma stopped the car then held her hand as she
cried.
.
Emma: don't cry we are in this together
Yaya: (crying) he sleeps peaceful at night while I
don't to add to that I have a big belly to remind
me of what happened. For being a coward and
failing to abort I will live to see this constant
reminder grow
Emma: you're not a coward like you said you were
desperate and you wanted what is best for your
family you're not a gold digger. You were sold an
empty dream by someone close to you. This baby
will bring so much joy to you, you will see the
moment you lay there not knowing whether you're
going to make it alive or not and after hours of
painful labour the moment you hear his or her cry
you won't want anyone to bring harm to him or
her trust me. If you still don't want him or her
its okay I will adopt her and raise her okay?
Yaya: okay
Emma: (wiping away her tears) don't cry we will
check on the baby then later see if I can get you
someone to talk to okay?
Yaya: (smiling) okay
Emma: now let's go Thuto asked for an update on
the baby
Yaya: (smiling) yeah let's go thank you for being a
great friend. I'm happy I got lost when I went to
the hospital. You're truly God sent now I'm in
college working towards being a nurse and building
my family their dream home even my father died
a happy man when he saw improvement. Thank you
for your support
Emma: (smiling) we're moving forward
They smiled to each other then she started the
car.

Michael fell on the gate and slowly dusted himself
and made his way inside his mothers house.
.
Her: (angry) Michael this has to stop its been

Olivia: boyfriends? Mom Day is the only man I'm

Her: its pay back oh I almost forgot he got fired

answered my prayers
Olivia: mama how can you rejoice over others

Her: after what the boy did to you he deserves
everything he's getting
Olivia: he is still the father of my daughter, he is
like family. His suffering affects my daughter. I
have to help him
Her: Olivia uyahlanya
Olivia: I forgave him for what he did to myself I
can't keep living in the past and I just can't
watch someone suffer when I can offer a helping
hand. I will help him get up, dust him then show
him the way. Whether he thanks me or not I
don't care I did what I could do
Her: (smiling) you have a heart of gold indeed
Olivia: me, Mayah and Day are coming to visit over
the holidays. I hope I get there not too late
Her: okay are you going to stay here or what?
Olivia: we will stay there
Her: okay honey you text me when you will be

Meanwhile..
.
Day came pushing Mayah who was in a box
screaming in excitement.
.
Day: we have arrived in Amsterdam where should

Mayah: to Cape town
.
Day pushed the box around the house while
Mayah screamed. Olivia went to do the dishes.
Mayah came running to her mother running from
her father. He held on to her clothes screaming
.
Mayah: mama he's coming
Olivia: who?
Mayah: the tickly monster pick me up pick me up!
.
Olivia picked her up then Day came to her hiding
behind his hands then tickled her. She laughed till
her stomach hurt. Then her laughter turned into
tears. Day quickly took her
.
Day: what's wrong baby?
Mayah: it hurts here (pointing at her stomach
then he rubbed her)
Day: its daddy's food that makes you sick mommy
must cook everyday
Olivia: (laughing) what did you say?
Mayah: (tearful) but I like daddy's food more
than Mommy's food
Day: (laughing) daddy will give you medication
then
Mayah: what is that?
Day: you must go watch TV
Mayah: okay
.
He put her down then she went to the living room.
Day hugged Olivia from behind.
.
Olivia: what are you thinking about?
Day: a lot of things
Olivia: like?
Day: why you don't want us to get married now
and why you don't want to visit me at my own
house
Olivia: I'm not ready for all that
Day: okay I understand with the wedding you are
still learning but visiting me babe. I also want to
see my girl do the dishes at my house. Or have
you serve me when I'm watching the game with
the guys. We don't have to be intimate I just

space
Olivia: okay
Day: okay let's go
Olivia: go as in now now?
Day: yeah now (excited) I will go pack for Mayah,

Day went to get Mayah in the living room then
went to pack with her. Olivia went to her room
and took her phone calling Jane.
.
Jane: Mrs October
Olivia: (nervous) he wants us to go to his crib
Jane: so?
Olivia: (closing the door) I'm scared what if he

Jane: I think its time you tell him about your past

Olivia put pepper spray on her bag and a knife.
She always has them on the closet. She then but
a few clothes. Day came in with Mayah who had
her backpack with her
.
Day: can we go now?
Olivia: sure
.
They all went out and got into his car then drove
off to his house. Olivia was shocked to see just a
normal house when she expected to see a mansion.
He parked in the garage. Then led them inside a
dog ran up to them barking, Olivia went behind
him.
.
Mayah: (happy) mommy its a dog we have a dog!

Day: (brushing him) Hunter
Mayah: (smiling) good boy Hunter

Hunter went to get his ball then gave it to Mayah.
She ran out to play with him.
.
Olivia: your house is really small
Day: (smiling) its just my own personal space well
I got it when I was just a bachelor. We will buy a
bigger one once we're married
Olivia: who takes care of Hunter while you're…
.
A young lady seeming to be at her twenties came
from one of the rooms in a maid uniform.
Her: (smiling) Mr October you're back
Day: yes how have you been?
Her: (hugging him) I've been good. The house is

Her: I'm good
Day: can you take this to your room?
Her: (taking Mayah's backpack) sure

She took it then disappeared to one of the rooms.
.
Olivia: that's your maid seriously?
Day: well yeah
Olivia: she looks like a prostitute
Day: come on babe you just met her don't be too
quick to judge
Olivia: and Mayah has to sleep with her?
Day: I only have two rooms
Olivia: I don't even know her she could be lesbian
for all I care
Day: (smiling) Natasha is not Lesbian trust me
Olivia: (annoyed) I can't believe you just said that

He blocked her way at the door.
.
Day: okay I'm sorry babe can we not argue right

will resolve the rest tomorrow
Olivia: fine but Mayah will sleep in our room
Day: okay, I want us to watch a movie together.

Day: okay
.
Olivia went to get Mayah from outside she ran to
the couch to his father and screamed
"MADAGASCAR". Day smiled as she sat next to
him, Olivia sat next to them. After few minutes
Natasha brought their popcorns and left to feed
Hunter.
.
They were half way through the movie when
Natasha came lifted Mayah to sit on her lap then
squeezed herself between Day and Olivia.
.
Natasha: (popping her bubblegum) I love this
movie
Olivia: (annoyed) I'm going to bed…

AT DAY'S HOUSE
.
They watched the movie till it ended, Mayah had
already fallen asleep on Natasha's lap. She
glarred at him and smiled biting her lower lip,
then ran her hand over his zipper touching his
manhood. He pushed her hand away softly.
.
Day: you can't do this when I have my woman
around
Natasha: but I miss you, you have been gone for
weeks
Day: I'm no longer in need of your sexual
services, I don't feel comfortable discussing this
with my kid here
Natasha: she's asleep and your girlfriend is
acting a bit bitchy towards me, I heard her
calling me a prostitute
Day: I'm sorry about that
Natasha: I know she doesn't know our agreement
but I expect her to treat me with respect like all
the other girls you be bought here
Day: I will talk to her but you need to keep your
hands to yourself like I said I won't be in need of
your services now
Natasha: I always knew this day will come and you
know what you have do
Day: I know
Natasha: should I serve you breakfast tomorrow?
Day: no I will leave early for gym
Natasha: (smiling) okay
.
Day stood up and took Mayah from Natasha. Then
went to his room while Natasha carried on
watching TV. He found Olivia awake busy with her
books.
.
Olivia: oh you are done bonding?
Day: come on babe
Olivia: you were probably screwing her
Day: in front of my daughter are you serious?
Olivia: she's not just an ordinary maid right?
Day: (sighed) yes
Olivia: (tearful) I don't think this is going to work
.
Day put down his daughter then went to take
Olivia's hand.
.
Day: yes she is more than just a maid and I'm
sorry I didn't tell you about her and I swear I
haven't touched her ever since I met you. I love
you please don't give up on me this is our first
argument and its fixable. Don't walk away
Olivia: (tearful) I don't want to get hurt anymore
Day: she will leave tomorrow, I promise
Olivia: okay
Day: (wiping her tears) I don't ever want to see
you cry okay?
Olivia: okay
.
He held her by her neck and French kissed her.
She smiled after the kiss and said.
.
Olivia: I really wanted to make you sleep on the
floor tonight
Day: (smiling) then I'm glad I won't
Olivia: I trust you
Day: and I love you.. Can you change her into her
PJ's
Olivia: okay by the way I love that your bed is big.
Big enough for your little family
Day: (smiling and kissing her) my perfect family
Olivia: let me go put my princess in her PJ's.
.
They let go off each other then Day went to put
on his pyjamas. Then joined his family in bed.
.
Day: (whispering) and by the way she heard you
when you called her a prostitute and she didn't
like it
Olivia: I won't apologize if that's what you're
trying to ask me
Day: okay goodnight
Olivia: goodnight
.
They both put their arms over Mayah and went to
sleep.
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
Day woke up early in the morning while Olivia was
asleep. He jogged to the gym. He got there and
saw his friend Benjamin lifting weights and went
to join him.
.
Ben: son
Day: stop calling me that
Ben: (laughing) what's up man?
Day: (doing chest press) I got an offer to make
Ben: I'm listening
Day: do you still want my Natasha?
Ben: your sexy maid?
Day: yes
Ben: (smiling) I would like to see her swinging her
ass at my house
Day: you can have her if you like
Ben: what?
Day: yeah you just pay her 10 thousand a month
Ben: (laughing in disbelief) all that for just a
maid?
Day: she's not just a maid,yes she cooks, does the
laundry and everything else. She also offers
sexual pleasures. You basically pay her to be your
wife
Ben: shit you son of a…
Day: don't go there
Ben: when can I have her?
Day: today. I need you to sign her contract
agreeing to all terms and conditions. If you end
things with her you have to find her an owner
first and pay her 20 thousands.
Ben: I understand, wifey said no sharing I see
Day: (laughing) she is a bit territorial
Ben: you treat her well
Day: you also treat her well. I gave you her
because I know you are clean, she's also clean but
you will both go for check up before signing then
go ahead with the relo
Ben: I here you….

AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
.
After playing video games with his son they went
out to eat then came back and played soccer at
the back, they got bored then decided to play
with their water guns. Lihle came to pick up Chris,
she smiled seeing his boy having a great time with
his father. Chris sprayed him and Amo laughed
refiling his gun.
.
Lihle: I wonder who is going to wash that
Chris: you of coarse
Lihle: (laughing) dream on
Amo: (smiling) your mom does laundry?
Chris: we have no maid at home, she cooks and
cleans and complains about everything so annoying
Amo: (pinched him) ey respect your mother
Chris: (laughing) it was just a joke
.
He looked at his parents and they both looked at
him with their serious faces.
.
Chris: okay I'm sorry mom
Lihle: go wait for me in the car I have to discuss
something with your father
Chris: okay
Lihle: change those clothes before you go there
Chris: all my clothes here are dirty
Lihle: were them again its better than getting my
car seats wet
.
Chris walked in the house. Amo noticed her
engagement ring.
.
Amo: congratulations
Lihle: thank you
Amo: at least your life is turning out good
Lihle: (looking at his red eyes) not getting enough
sleep?
Amo: yeah and working a lot
Lihle: do you take your pills?
Amo: I stopped taking them. They are now
controlling me I don't want to be controlled. I
want to live my life without depending on
anything. You all now make is seem as if I'm
crazy. (Angry) I'm not crazy
Lihle: no one said you were crazy Amo but you
yourself can see you are living reckless. You drink
everyday and now have turned to smoking and
where is Sara, you're skinny?
Amo: I fired her
Lihle: for what?
Amo: its none of your business
Lihle: I want full custody of Chris
Amo: what?
Lihle: with your problems I'm scared you might
turn him to be like you
Amo: so now I'm a bad father?
Lihle: you are still asking?
.
He roughly grabbed her by her neck.
.
Lihle: dare try to and I will report you to the
police and make sure you never see him again.
.
He let go of her then she rubbed her neck looking
at him.
.
Amo: (angry) all you ever do is judge so fuck off!
.
She saw how angry he was then quickly went out,
Chris was already in the car playing a game on her
phone. She calmed herself then got in and drove
home

AT DAY'S HOUSE
.
Olivia woke up alone in bed, Day and Mayah were
not at sight she walked to the kitchen and found
a fully prepared breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes,
waffles you name it. Natasha gave Mayah her
coffee
.
Olivia: she doesn't drink coffee she usually burns
her tongue
Natasha: I have put ice cubes in it. Its warm
enough for her not to burn herself
Olivia: okay, good morning
Natasha: morning I made breakfast but if you
don't want it its okay
Olivia: (sitting Down) nah its okay you can plate
for me
Natasha: (smiling) okay
Olivia: (looking at Mayah) are you enjoying your
breakfast?
.
Mayah nodded with her mouth full she couldn't
speak. Olivia smiled seeing her like that she is not
the type that eats a lot.
.
Natasha: (plating for her) what would you like to
have?
Olivia: an omelette and bacon
Natasha: my favourite, pity Day doesn't eat eggs
Olivia: he doesn't?
Natasha: (laughing) if you want to get on his bad
side make him eggs, he usual eats bread with Jam
or peanut butter
Olivia: (smiling) thanks for the tip
Natasha: he really loves you please don't hurt him
Olivia: I won't, I love him too and I'm sorry about
my attitude yesterday. I judged you too soon
Natasha: (smiling) happens all the time, I
deliberately squeezed myself in because I wanted
to spike you for calling me the P word
Olivia: (tasting it) you are sure a great cook and
for the record you got me but I'm curious about
what you do
Natasha: (laughing) I'm just a maid that goes an
extra mile
Olivia: how long have you been working for Day?
Natasha: well he was my first client. I've known
him for 7 years. We were friends with benefits
but I decided to turn it to a business
Mayah: mom what are friends with benefits?
Olivia: this is adult business, you will go deaf if
you keep listening to adult stuff. Go watch TV.
.
She stood up with her plate and went to watch
cartoons.
.
Natasha: I know him well, I even met his mother
Olivia: what? As a maid or girlfriend?
Natasha: as a girlfriend, she had been pressuring
him to get a girlfriend so he took me with him
Olivia: and how was she?
Natasha: she has an attitude in fact you reminded
me of her yesterday
Olivia: I hope I can tolerate her
Natasha: I'm sure you will
Olivia: have you seen Day?
Natasha: (thoughtfully) no I haven't but he
usually wakes up early to go jogging
Olivia: okay, I know this is personal but I have to
ask
Natasha: shoot
Olivia: how is Day in bed?
Natasha: (laughing) you guys haven't?
Olivia: yeah
Natasha: wow that's why you're still walking
straight I see
Olivia: is he that big?
Natasha: he is so big like (illustrating with her
hands) I can't even wrap my hand around it. He is
gifted and he knows how to use it. Don't worry
when we first did it I was a bit dry so he bought
baby oil. It fit perfectly plus he is gentle the last
time he was rough it was 3 years ago he had a
fight with his mom about knowing his biological
father so he was a bit rough but he regretted it
and apologized. You just relax and let him take
what's his.
Olivia: he looks like my ex boyfriend even my
mother told me about it but I brushed off the
thought of them being brothers. I mean they are
so far apart
Natasha: I once cleaned Miss October's house
and stumbled apon a DNA test take against Day
and some male I don't remember his name…. Who
was he again? I don't remember but it said 99,9%
he was his father. I didn't give it to him because
it was none of my business but since you are soon
to be his wife it might be good for you to to take
this journey to finding his father together. Let
me go get the….
.
The door opened and Day walked in pass the living
room and greeted Mayah and kissed her cheek.
He then went to the kitchen and found Olivia and
Natasha awkwardly looking at each other. He
greeted then then went to kiss Olivia's cheek.
.
Olivia: (smiling) I want a French kiss
Day: (laughing) not with those eggs in your mouth
Olivia: (laughing) maybe next time
Day: Natasha your transport is here
Natasha: (smiling) really who is it?
Day: Benjamin
Natasha: (getting off the chair ) okay let me go
take my bags
Day: and you're having breakfast with Natasha?
Olivia: you were right she is a nice girl
Day: okay
Olivia: you smell sweat go take a shower
Day: (kissed her neck) I want us to go see my
mom today (taking her hand going with her to
their bedroom and locking the door)
Olivia: isn't it too soon?
Day: (standing behind her taking off his clothes)
I don't think so. I'm serious about us so why not?
Olivia: (feeling his manhood poking her ass) I'm
not ready Day
Day: (pull up her vest) we won't do anything,
(pulling down her pyjama pants along with her
panties) I don't think with my D babe
.
He picked her up and took the to the bathroom.
She went was her mouth after that Day pulled to
the shower,the cold water hit their bodies and
Olivia freaked out about to scream Day closed
her mouth and held her tight. He let go the
moment she seemed calm
.
Day: don't scream like that you will scare Mayah
Olivia: the water is co….
.
He silenced her with a kiss then took smeared his
shower Gel on her body then massaging her body
with it, cupping her breast watching her nipples
become hard. She enjoyed being touched by him
and found herself moaning and craving for his
touch. He went down after the water rinsed down
the bubbles, he turned her the other way playing
with her bean then worked with his tongue. The
pleasure she felt was overwhelming. He slowly slid
in one finger and tapped her G-spot making her go
crazy a heat wave hit her so bed she couldn't
balance herself as her thighs started shaking.
.
Day stood up smiling and kissed her. He then
dried her and took her to bed then went back to
shower. She rested a bit then went to lotion her
body. She smiled thinking about what happened
she realised there were clothes on the bed hero's
particularly. She decided to wear them and felt a
paper on the back pocket of her skirt.
.
She took it out so she can read it but Day walked
out of the shower and she took it back.
.
Day: thanks for picking out clothes for me
Olivia: I didn't I found them here
Day: oh maybe Natasha did it, she has keys of
each room
Olivia: (smiling) okay… (kissing him) I had a great
time, you're really good
Day: (laughing) there will be more once were
married
.
He kissed her then took his shirt to wear while
Olivia stared at him with admiration

OLIVIA
.
We arrived at my future mother in-law's house.
Unlike his son she had built this this big beautiful
mansion. Mayah screamed when she saw it
.
Mayah: mommy its a palace
Me: (laughing) you call every house a palace
Mayah: daddy's house is not a palace
Day: we will buy a palace one day okay?
Mayah: okay, daddy carry me
Me: and who's going to walk the dog?
Day: come on babe you can…
Me: hhayi October you are spoiling her too much
I'm sure if she requested to go to McDonald's
now you would take her there
Day: (looking at her) but how can I say no to such
a pretty cute innocent face?
Me: you are her father if you let her get away
with many things it might be hard to control her
when she's older, you must discipline her at some
point
Mayah: daddy loves me and you're jealous
Me: you walk the dog Mayah and those words
should never escape that little mouth ever again
.
She pouted and kicked the door.
.
Me: (shouting) I swear to God Mayah do that one
more time and you will know who I am
Day: baby girl don't kick daddy's car you're
hurting daddy's feelings
Mayah: (tearful) I'm sorry daddy.
.
Day got off the car and went to open the door
for her. He lifted her up whispered something to
her then hugged her tight for a moment. I got
off the car and just looked at them. He put her
down and took out Hunter from the car. Then
Mayah walked her in the the yard.
.
We both followed her not saying a word to each
other. Mayah knocked and an old lady opened the
door.
.
Her: hello
Mayah: hello my name is Mayah
Her: hello Mayah my name is…
Mayah: you're granny
Her: (looking at the dog) and the dog
Day: his name is Hunter mom
Her: I can't believe you came with your dog, I
can't deal with dog poop
.
Hunter ran underneath the dress and Mayah
crawled between her legs and ran after Hunter.
.
Mayah: (yelling) hunter come back!
Her: (walking in) honey be careful don't break
anything!
Day: (looking at me while taking my shaking hand)
relax babe
Me: okay
Day: mom I would like you to meet this beautiful
lady over here soon to be your daughter in-law
Olivia
Her: oh hi
Me: how are you Miss October?
Her: I'm fine
Day: we came to see how you are doing?
Her: aww come take your hug I really missed you
.
Day went to hug her
.
Her: (whispering) she looks like a slut
Day: (whispered) be nice mom you just met her
Her: (looking at me) Olivia come let's go sit at
back yard and tell me more about yourself
Me: okay
.
We followed her then she disappeared to the
kitchen talking to someone. Day pulled out a chair
for me and I sat down looking at him not smiling
.
Day: what now?
Me: (tearful) she called me a prostitute
Day: its just a phase, the very same phase you
had when you first Natasha and all my female
friends
Me: its not fair
Day: just give her time to know you after that it
will all be okay
.
She came back with her maid, she was old enough
to be Sara's age mate. She greeted us then
served us tea and cookies. London is cold I've
gotten used to this tradition even at my house
Day had bought many boxes of cookies and tea.
Mayah was playing with hunter inside I was glad.
.
Her: so tell me more about yourself
.
I told her everything about me and my family and
went on to tell her about my studies. She let go
and became freely telling me about her career.
She told me the benefits of being a doctor and
when she used to feel down when she lost a
patient. It was great, Day then told her about
how we met and how much he loves me plus needs
her blessing to marry me. She gladly gave it to us.
I asked to be excused and went to the bathroom.
.
I relieved myself then washed my hands, I
remembered the paper then took it out and read
it yep there it was the results revealed that
Richard Maoto Dibuseng is 99.9% Day's father. I
couldn't believe it like what the fuck?. My mom
has to hear this, I took my phone and called her
.
Mom: hello
Me: mom you were right about Day being
Richard's son
Mom: (shocked) what?
Me: I have the DNA test results with me mom
Day's real father is Richard Dibuseng
Day: (walked in) what?
Mom: omg
Me: (Day snatched the paper from me) I have to
go
Day: what the fuck is this?
Me: a DNA test I think your mom did years back
with your real father
Day: (angry, tearful) and you just call your mom
instead of talking to me first?
Me: baby I …
Day: (tearful) so much for being loved honestly
Me: (tearful) Day don't say that…
.
He furiously walked out and went downstairs. I
behind him he went to his mother and pushed the
glass door. I wanted to go there but Mayah held
on to me tight, I could see straight in her eyes
that she was frightened. I picked her up and sat
on the couch watching an audio less argument
outside at that moment Mayah had her head on
my chest holding tightly to me this was her first
time seeing people argue.
.
I saw his mother crying then he walked out
without saying anything.
.
Me: where are you going?
.
He said nothing and just walked out. I stayed
there not knowing what to say or do. She walked
back in, I knew I was not her favourite after this
.
Me: I'm sorry
Her: its fine at least the truth is out
Me: I should go see if he's okay
Her: (sniffing) if you know what is good for you
stay and let him cool off. He will come back and
take you home when he's okay
Me: okay
Her: if you need me I will be in my room
Me: okay
.
The maid came to serve us food and honestly I
had lost my appetite, seeing Day hurt like that.
.
Me: let's eat baby
Mayah: (tearful) daddy was sad, you hurt his
feelings
Me: its adult staff you won't understand
Mayah: (playing with her food) if being grown up
means hurting others then I don't want to grow
up
.
I sighed not knowing what to say and ate my food.
.
.
MEANWHILE AT AMO'S HOME
.
He sat by the stairs taking shots, then puffed his
smoke. Amo's father walked in without knocking
and found him there. He didn't seem to care.
.
Richard: I gave you time to sort yourself out but
still you're in one place
Amo: leave my house now
Richard: I'm taking you home today
Amo: old man just leave my house
Richard: fine then you leave me with no choice.
boys do what you got to do at the end of the day
I want him in my car
.
He walked out and the two mascular man looked
at Amo stretching themselves.
.
Amo: if you know what is good for you, you will
follow him
.
They both looked at each other and laughed. The
tall guy with long dreads roughly grabbed him by
his clothes and pushed him to the centre of the
living room.
.
Amo: touch me one more time and you will see me
again
Guy1: (laughing) what are you gonna do huh?
.
Guy2 threw a punch at Amo but he blocked it held
him by his neck bending him then kicking his
stomach. Guy1 came behind Amo and hit him on
his head. He pushed guy2 , guy 2 lost his balance
and hit the wall with his forehead. Amo quickly
turned and punched Guy1. He then kicked his nuts
he fell down on his knees and Amo kicked him on
his face. He fell down holding his face screaming
in pain. Guy 2 stood up dizzy and tried to punch
Amo but he dodged it and punched him.
.
Amo took a wood chair as he felt his anger built
up and hit them with it while they were on the
floor. They seemed out of it first but the
moment he hit them their goal was to get out of
there. He hit them hard as it broke on their
backs and went to get another one. The crawled
out with blood all over their faces and body and
went to Richard's car. He was shocked he rubbed
his eyes countless time but still couldn't believe
his son did that

OLIVIA
.
Day came back late that day, it was dark and Miss
October was still in her room. Mayah had fallen
asleep on my lap, he went upstairs I think maybe
to talk to his mother then came back and took
Mayah from me.
.
Day: let's go home
Me: what about the dog
Day: we're leaving it here
.
He called his dog "it" not "him", I guess he was
still mad at me.
.
Me: you can drop us at my apartment
Day: what's wrong with my place?
Me: nothing
Day: let's go
.
He walked out then I followed him and sat in the
front while he put Mayah on her seat. He then
got in and drove us to his place. He was quite and
it scared me, I didn't know what was on his mind
but I knew he was angry at me. We got to his
place he took to her room while I went to change
into my pyjamas.
.
.
AT MAYAH'S ROOM
.
Mayah was half asleep when Day took off her
Jacket leaving her with her vest. He then took
off her jeans and shoes then put her under the
covers. She slowly opened her eyes looking at him.
.
Mayah: daddy you're back
Day: yes my Angel
Mayah: I'm sorry you're hurting
Day: baby girl….
.
Mayah say up straight and pulled him down by his
neck hugging him tightly
.
Mayah: I love you
Day: I love you too baby girl
Mayah: (letting go) my teacher said a hug makes
people feel better. Do you feel better?
Day: (smiling) I feel so much better
Mayah: (smiling) goodnight
Day: goodnight my princess.
.
Day tugged her in then kissed her forehead and
walked out. Somehow he felt lighter than early
and the pain he felt was fading. He walked in
their room and found Olivia waiting for him. He
took off his clothes and remained with boxers
only then got into bed, turning off his lamp and
sleeping
.
Olivia: can we please talk about this
.
Day ignored her not
.
Olivia: I know you are not asleep Day, please just
say something
Day: something like what?
Olivia: anything I know you are angry at me
Day: and do you blame me?
Olivia: no but..
Day: you are my girlfriend, I love and trust you to
watch my back but you kept this from me
.
Olivia started crying, he woke up and turned on
the light and pulled her to himself.
.
Day: (sighed) don't cry babe
Olivia: I'm sorry I will never do it again
Day: I just feel hopeless right now. (Letting go of
her) I'm a very private man and its hard for me
to just confide to anyone, I thought you would be
that person who knows all my secrets, who loves
me no matter what.
Olivia: I can
Day: I know your mom is like your best friend and
you share a lot with her but now we're together
you have to learn to tell me things first.
Communication is key.
Olivia: I understand
Day: why did you even call her or you know this
Richard guy?
Olivia: (looked the other way clearing her throat)
Day: Oh my God you know him
Olivia: your mom will tell you about him
Day: she refuses. Please tell me
Olivia: well he seems like a good man and has a son
called Amogelang
Day: I guess I was not good enough to be raised
my him like this Amokhelang guy
Olivia: you don't even know the whole story, he
didn't raise him. He found him when he turned 16
all along he was raised by his mother. Amo build
himself with the little he was given. He's a good
man
Day: (looking at her surprised) did you guys?
Olivia: (getting off the bed going to the
bathroom) kind of
Day: (following her) Olivia you dated with my
brother
Olivia: he wasn't your brother when I dated him
Day: how old is he?
Olivia: I think 28 or 29
Day: okay, do you still love him?
Olivia: I can't believe you're asking me that
Day: its just a simple question that needs an
answer
Olivia: (looking at him) I don't love him, there you
have it
Day: (holding her waist) then I'm glad I was
worried by how you got offended a few minutes
ago.
Olivia: we didn't have a bitter ending. I guess we
we're just not meant to be
Day: (kissing her) well me and you are meant to
be. I love you
Olivia: and you don't see me as a slut?
Day: you didn't know we are brother's babe
Olivia: then I love you too
Day: I want to meet them and see if we can fix
things and get the whole story
Olivia: you should google them they are a well
known family
Day: okay, let's go to bed before you give me any
ideas
Olivia: like the repeat of what happened this
morning?
Day: (laughing) naughty girl I have to be at the
office tomorrow
Olivia: okay
.
He carried her to bed and laid down with her. She
buried her face on his chest and fell asleep.

ONE WEEK LATER
.
OLIVIA
.
after submitting all my assignments early I
decided it was time I went back home. Day had
decided to go to Botswana and get to know his
father. He dropped me and Mayah off at the
airport. They hugged and shared a few kisses but
she was still unhappy she wanted to remain behind
with him. He promised to call and check on us, he
then gave her a teddy bear to keep her company.
Fast forward we flew to S.A.
.
We arrived home at 13:00 tired as hell. Mom
helped me with my bags I then took Mayah to my
bed.
.
Her: you're finally home
Me: it feels so damn good to be home and the
weather is epic
Her: (laughing) tired of cookies and tea
Me: you can say that again
Her: let me leave you to rest
Me: okay
.
She walked out I then laid next to my daughter
and fell asleep. I don't know when I woke up but I
heard my mother talking with someone in the
kitchen. I realised the voice was Richards voice,
hoping to know what he wanted and maybe know
what made him neglect his son I went to
eavesdrop.
.
Her: I still can't believe you slept with your maid
Richard, that girl was old
Richard: it was a silly affair, I was just having fun
Her: and you got her pregnant
Richard: I'm still shocked I have a son (sighed) I
never knew she was pregnant, I don't blame her
for not telling me I was just a boy to her I was 17
what was I going to do?
Her: so she just left?
Richard: she stole money that was kept in the
safe, I think it was 70k and I got a beating for it,
the day I will never forget. I told myself I would
kill her if ever I met her but now I realised she
was just protecting my boy
Her: (laughing) ey I hope he's not like Amo
Richard: Amo needs serious beating, when I come
back I will come with strong Tswana man, the
ones I hired here they are just chickens. I want
them to beat the shit out of him after that I will
throw him at the mental institution
Her: I think that's a good idea, he will learn the
hard way
Richard: let me go to my hotel, hoping soon we will
be asking for your daughter's hand in marriage
Her: (laughing) we will see about that
.
My heart broke , the way they spoke about Amo
broke my heart. I should stop feeling like this I
love Day. Maybe its time I finally cut ties with
him. I searched for his watch in my bag. I put in
in my side bag, changed my clothes and wore
sweat pants and a hoodie, took my bag and made
my way out. I bumped on to mom
.
Her: where are you going?
Me: I'm going to check on a few friends
Her: can't you do it tomorrow you just go home
(looking at the clouds) and there's a Storm
coming
Me: (smiling) I will be back soon
Her: I hope your phone is with you
Me: (showing it to her) as always
Her: okay bye
Me: bye.
.
I took a taxi to Johannesburg. I was dropped off
at Amo's gate and it was 20:15. I ran in as it
started to rain. My heart pounded as I pushed
the unlocked door open and saw all the scattered
glasses and broken chairs and not to mention
blood on the white couches…

AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
.
She walked and saw Amogelang sitting by the
stairs with a bottle of wine drinking. The thought
of leaving kicked in but she pushed it aside as she
felt sorry for him. Amo noticed her and gave a
fake smile. She smiled and went up to sit next to
him.
.
Olivia: I see you did some renovating, this place
looks epic
.
They both laughed but his laugh turned into tears
as he turned to the bottle and took a sip.
.
Olivia: (softly) talk to me Dibuseng
.
Not knowing where to start Amo just cried and
Olivia pulled her down to rest on her lap. He
continued crying and seemed to be too far from
calming down.
.
Olivia: let's go
Amo: where?
Olivia: come
.
She took his hand and went with him to his
bedroom. She took him to his bathroom and
requested him to take off his clothes and step in
the shower. He did as he was told
.
Olivia: you have ten minutes
Amo: aren't you going to join me?
Olivia: don't play smart with me
.
He laughed softly then Olivia went out to make
him something to eat. She cleaned the kitchen
and managed to make him noodles and chicken
soup. She searched for his first aid kit then went
up to his room. He was already in pyjama pants.
.
Olivia: I made you food
Amo: I'm not hungry
Olivia: okay, let me take care of those wounds
.
Amo stood up while Olivia put down the plate with
food, taking the first aid kit and helping him by
rolling bandage on his cuts. He had cuts on his
arms and on his forehead. He sat on the bed while
Olivia rolled the bandage on his forehead and
somehow it bought memories of his mother, the
way she was gentle and not shouting at him. He
hugged her from her waist and buried his face on
her tummy crying.
.
She ran her fingers on his head.
.
Olivia: why are you crying Amogelang?
Amo: because… because there's so much I want
to tell you
Olivia: I'm listening
.
She got into bed and Amo laid on her lap. She had
never seen him like this so weak and vulnerable,
she could feel her pants getting wet because of
his tears. She was seeing the real Amo for the
first time.
.
Olivia: why are you crying?
Amo: because you never gave me a chance
Olivia: a chance?
Amo: a chance to truly love you and let you know
the real me
Olivia: (silent remembering what happened back
then)
Amo: (holding on to her tight)she was beautiful,
loving and caring
Olivia: who?
Amo: my mother (sniffing) she was blessed with a
heart of gold unable to hold grudges, forgives
easily and cursed with a skin that had low
pigment. Poverty was her best friend after being
kicked out by her Uncle who inherited her
parents belongings. With a fatherless little boy
she had to do what she did to survive
Olivia: (swallowed a painful lump) carry on
Amo: as a little boy I didn't understand why she
was treated differently in the community. Most
children were afraid of her and some even
insulted her and she never fought back. When I
asked her why they treated her differently she
would just say it was because she was unique. She
was used somehow they would make her clean do
the laundry and cook only to give her R10 for
bread. She never complained as long as I was full
for that day. I was told by my friends that people
of her kind disappear. They never die and get
buried they just disappear
Olivia: (sighed tearful)
Amo: (tearful) she would force me to go to school
everyday because I was now scared of losing her.
I basically had no one and I would pray everyday
that God doesn't make her disappear and leave
me alone in this cruel world. When I was 13 it was
my birthday we were so happy. She had saved
money I don't know how and bought me that
watch
Olivia: (taking it out) this one?
Amo: (taking it shocked) you never sold it
Olivia: I figured it was important to you, the
message scratched on the back caught my
attention
Amo: (looking at it sad) yes (reading it) "never
stop dreaming… love mom". (Tearful) we got
attacked by six man (crying) I tried…. God knows
I tried to saved her but I was just a weakling
Olivia: (teardrop) Amo please don't…
Amo: (crying) they cut her Olivia… they cut her
while she was alive… she cried …she….she begged
for mercy (crying) she… she called my name but i
…

FLASHBACK
.
'He looked at her laying there painfully breathing,
he was tied to the the table, he tried to free
himself but it was useless. He bit the tape just so
he can make sound.
.
Man1: we should remove the heart
Man2: we have no time I'm sure they have heard
her scream let's just go we will make enough
money with these
Man3: guys let's go our boys outside says people
are coming
Man1: shit
.
They went out, he managed to tear it
.
Amo: (crying) Mama… mama don't leave me mom
Her: (weak voice) don't cry….don't cry
(suppressing the pain) all shall be well… all…. Sh-
Amo: (crying) No mama don't leave me…. Noo.
.
He heard the mob outside making notice " Let
them burn" then others broke down the door
trying to help. They also couldn't believe what
they were seeing. A body with no legs and arms,
her private parts were cut off and only one eye
was left. Amo struggled to breath one lady
poured water over him but it was still the same
he passed out'
.
Olivia: (crying) oh my God
Amo: (crying) she never disappeared…. She never
did
Olivia: I'm sorry
Amo: I was taken by one of the neighbours and I
got beaten for anything. I moved from house to
house for a year one of my mom's friend told me
about Richard I wrote him a letter and he
responded at his own time. He took me with him
to Botswana. I got the same treatment from his
wife. I was controlled by being beaten he also
approved to that. I only got a break when he gave
me a piece of land to work on. I'm just a broke
man
Olivia: there's still time to change
Amo: I'm scared
Olivia: I will walk down that path with you
Amo: (tearful) promise?
Olivia: yeah if you let the bottle go
Amo: consider it done
.
She took out her phone and typed her mother a
message.
.
Olivia: I will sleep over at Jane's since its raining
Her: when I wake up tomorrow I better find you
here if not never come back and carry on riding
Amogelang
Olivia: but I'm with Jane
Her: which Jane because the one that has a
vagina is right here at my house looking for you?
Olivia: I will explain tomorrow
Her:
.
She put her phone aside and tried to catch some
sleep

AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
.
She woke up at 3am early in the morning and
thought about waking Amo but he was sound
asleep which was a good thing. She slowly got off
the bed and took her bag.
.
Amo: (sleepy) where are you going?
Olivia: home, mom made threats to me about
being here with you last night
Amo: well you can't go alone at (looked at the
time) its 3 Olivia
Olivia: I know I will be okay go to back to sleep
Amo: no if you want to go I'm taking you home
Olivia: it will just cause a scene
Amo: it's better that you disappearing. I'm not
on your mothers good books and with the way I
have been living the past few days I will be
blamed for everything
Olivia: how are you feeling today?
Amo: (smiling) better than yesterday. I just have
a headache
Olivia: there are pain blocks on the drawer
Amo: (looking for them) okay there we go
Olivia: I have to go
Amo: ( popping a pill) take my car, I will come get
it later. You have your licence right?
Olivia: yeah but I left it at home
Amo: then I will drop you home
Olivia: ummh okay
.
He went to the bathroom to get water then came
out and put on his shoes shortly after Olivia
followed him out to his car. He opened thee gate
then went to join Olivia.
.
Olivia: please get your house cleaned up when you
get back
Amo: (smiling) yes Madame
Olivia: (smiling) stop calling me that
Amo: I like it though
.
He started the car and drove out
.
Olivia: you really need to see someone though
Amo: I'm seeing you its enough
Olivia: you need a professional doctor
Amo: you mean a shrink?
Olivia: yeah whatever they call them
Amo: so you think I'm crazy
Olivia: if I thought so I wouldn't be here and
don't play dumm with me Amogelang
Amo: I'm sorry
Olivia: (sighed) I have a lot going on right now
sometimes I feel like I'm losing it
Amo: your boyfriend giving you problems?
Olivia: (shocked) how did you? Are you stalking
me?
Amo: no I'm not I once saw you in a restaurant
here months ago (sighed) I lost it and took out my
frustration out on Ayanda. I doubt she will ever
forgive me
Olivia: who is Ayanda?
Amo: she was my maid, we had something good
going I guess but I ruined it all by forcing myself
on her
Olivia: (heart pounding) you raped her?
Amo: (tearful) I didn't want to (swallowed) I
regret it
Olivia: (angry) do you know how it feels like to be
raped huh? You blame yourself everyday even
though you're told everyday its not your fault,
you cry almost at anything, you become afraid of
almost anything, your self esteem drops and you
think you have nothing to live for at the end
Amo pulled over and as tears found their way into
his eyes. Olivia got out of the car raining as it was
she went to vomit. Amo got out to check on her
but she got up and pushed him aside. He looked at
her confused and she just cried hugging him. He
hugged her tightly.
.
Olivia: (crying) I got raped Amo, I got raped and
its your fault
Amo: (hugging her tightly) I'm sorry
Olivia: and I want to hate you, I really do but I
can't
Amo: I'm really sorry
.
She pulled back and went back to the car. Amo
followed her in.
.
Olivia: just take me home
Amo: I'm really sorry
Olivia: go and apologize to her
Amo: (tearful) I will please don't give up on me,
you're the only one that understand
Olivia: (wiping her tears) I won't
Amo: when will I see you again?
Olivia: you have my new numbers?
Amo: no
Olivia: let me write them down for you then
.
He gave her his phone then started his car and
drove her home. Along the way he would just
stare at her and smile. She blushed avoiding his
gaze then he played slow music.
.
They arrived at Olivia's home. Amo took her hand
and kissed it then looked at her.
.
Amo: thank you for last night
Olivia: (smiling) you're welcome
Amo: and about what happened to you…
Olivia: I'm already getting help you don't have to
worry about me that much
Amo: (smiling) okay, I really wished to see Mayah
Olivia: (laughing) if you walk in there I swear they
will eat you alive
Amo: I won't risk it
Olivia: oh by the way you're now just uncle
Dibuseng
Amo: ouch he already took my title
Olivia: (laughing) yep
Amo: (laughing) I will get it back soon
Olivia: I would love to see you try
.
He just smiled and Olivia rolled her eyes getting
off the car. She walked in the house and Mayah
ran to her arms
.
Mayah: mommy
Olivia: hello sweetie
Mayah: I'm going to see my father today
Olivia: (looking at her mom) really
Mayah: (smiling) yes let me go get my teddy. I
want to show him my teddy
Olivia: okay
.
She ran to her room then Olivia sat down joining
Jane and her mother.
.
Jane: you slept at Amo's house really?
Her mom: do you know that boy is a ticking time
bomb
Olivia: he needed a shoulder to cry on ma
Jane: I'm sure Day will be happy to hear this
Her mom: I thought you had changed Olivia but

Olivia: wow so I'm a whore because I want to help

Her mom: Amogelang is a grown ass man
Jane: yes he can take care of himself. I thought

Dudu: (standing by the door) I'm starting to

MEANWHILE…
.
Michael put his phone on his back pocket. He
dried his tears and drank the last drops of his
Savanna then threw the bottle away. He chewed
mint and opened the gate. He slowly walked by
the swimming pool drunk as he was he dripped
over the hosepipe that was laying there and fell
down hitting down with his head. He rolled over
and fell in the pool

AT DUDU'S
.
She was waken by the loud screams of her
neighbor. She wore her Robe and went to bang on
Olivia's door but there was no response. She
rushed out and went over to Michael's mom.
People were outside other's with their phones
recording. An Ambulance arrived while Dudu tried
to squeeze herself in to the other side she saw
Michael placed close to the pool being stranded
by 2 paramedics while one paramedic rushed over
to Mayah who stared at her father traumatized.
.
That lady took her and Dudu rushed to them,
Mayah couldn't utter one, she seemed weak and
her eyes were wide open.
.
Dudu: Mayah
The lady: I have it all under control Madame
please keep your distance
Dudu: she's my granddaughter
The lady: okay you can sit here with her
.
She put an oxygen mask over her and injected
her.
.
Dudu: what are you doing?
The lady: she's traumatised I need to have her
checked out at the hospital
.
Olivia ran to her daughter and took her into her
arms.
.
Olivia: what happened mama?
Dudu: wish I don't know
The lady: (looking at Mayah who was now asleep)
the gentleman over there has passed on
Olivia: (shocked) oh my God Michael but I spoke
with him yesterday and he sounded okay
The lady: we assume he fell down and hit on his
head falling down to the pool but more tests will
be done. Right now I need to taker her with me to
the hospital
Olivia: okay
Dudu: let me go attend Mrs Ngwenya
Olivia: I will go with them just to make sure

.
AT AYANDA'S HOME
.
Amo wondered if he was at the right place or not
but he was sure. There was measure change the
mub house was never there and they had a fence
now. The old lady walked outside and saw him
standing there
.
Her: can I help you son?
Amo: morning ma I'm looking for Ayanda
Her: I'm her mother how can I help you?
Amo: name is Amogelang and I was hoping I could
talk to her
Her: I know you, she told me about you
Amo: (coming to the fence) I really want to make
things right ma. I regret everything I did to her.
I'm now getting help
Her: eish the thing is she doesn't want to see you
specially right now
Amo: please ma I just want to talk to her that's
all
Her: let me go talk to her first
Amo: okay
.
She went inside the house and went to Ayanda's
room.
.
Her: Yaya…
Yaya: no mama I don't want to see him
Her: but he is the father of the baby you're
carrying
Yaya: I don't need him and his money mama. I can
raise her alone
Her: that's not how its done mtanami, you here

Yaya: and forget act like nothing happened
Her: that's not what I'm saying you know it too
Yaya: I'm just not ready to deal with him
Her: you can't keep running away from him. He is
trying to change he is even getting help. What
more do you want?
Yaya: peace
Her: you share a child now, you want her to grow
father less. At thee end when she's all grown up
and you are old like me she won't listen to your
reasons. She will see you as selfish.
Yaya: (tearful) I know but I'd rather deal with
that in the future
Her: so be it then
.
She walked out and found Amo in the kitchen
playing with Phiwo.
.
Amo: I'm sorry she invited me in

Phiwo: thank you Sir

He closed the door and drove off.
.

AT THE HOSPITAL
.
The two police officers walked out of the hospital
after questioning Olivia.
.
Policeman1: its safe to conclude he fell and hit on
his head and drowned to death no one pushed him
Policeman 2: plus the amount of alcohol found in
his body was definitely shocking
Policeman1: I will get on with the report the
moment we arrive
.
Day walked in and went to ask at the reception
where Mayah was kept. He rushed over the and
opened the door. He found Olivia holding her
daughters hand. Mayah got tearful seeing Day,

Day: yeah we are here now why waste time?
Olivia: okay
Day: (smiling) really?
Olivia: yes let's do it before we go home
Day: okay…

AT LIHLE'S HOUSE
.
Chris was doing his homework then he asked for
help from his step father.
.
Chris: Uncle can you please help me with this
Dave: let me see
Chris gave him his book
Dave: you simply can't answer 7+3, 6+4, 8+2, 5+5,
20÷2, 5×2 yet you are seven, don't you see all
answers are 10. You are so dumm its hard to
believe your father is a businessman
Chris: (tearful) I'm not dumb
Dave: I really hope you got this dumbness from
your father cause I don't know what I would do if
I had dumb kids
Chris: my mom says I'm not dumb just a slow
learner
Dave: she's just justifying it. Look at that wall
see all those trophies? They belong to my little
girl she's just 15 and has acquired 40 trophies
for sports and mathematics competitions and
what do you have?
.
He tearfully stared at the medals and trophies.
He got so hurt, his mother walked in carrying
groceries. and he just ran to his room crying.
.
Lihle: what did you do to him now Dave?
Dave: (sipping his beer) this kid is acting like a
girl. I'm encouraging him to follow the foot steps
of his sister and he just cries like a girl
Lihle: I don't like it when you mock him Dave its
not funny. He's a slow learner
Dave: he is bad at everything, no wonder he got
kicked out of the school soccer team
Lihle: (angry) wow really Dave? You know what
just go fuck yourself
Dave: babe I'm sorry please forgive me. I will go
and apologize to him and even take him out for ice
cream (holding her waist) how is that?
Lihle: it would be good but let me go talk to him
first
Dave: okay I will be unpacking these
Lihle: okay
.
She went to his room and tried to open the door
but he had jerked it with his chair.
.
Lihle: Chris you better remove the chair now
Chris: no go away
Lihle: ha ha ha nako-ke yewena open the door now
Chris: I hate being black
Lihle: open the door now
.
He opened the door and threw himself on his bed.
.
Lihle: we have to talk
Chris: you want to talk to your dumb son
Lihle: you're not dumb you're just a slow learner
Chris: you keep saying that
Lihle: its the truth he didn't mean what he said.
You're seven there's still time for you to develop.
He will apologize and take us out for ice cream
Chris: I'm not up to it
Lihle: come on boy don't sulk on me now
.
He saw his father's car outside and got excited.
He ran outside and Among got out of the car and
lifted him up.
.
Amo: (smiling) you're growing too big nowadays
boy
Chris: I want to be big and tall like you
Amo: (smiling) that will happen naturally you are a
Dibuseng
Chris: (whispered) daddy please take me home
with you
Amo: okay we're going to chill at my house and
order pizza
Chris: yaay!
.
Lihle stood outside and looked at them. Amo had
absolutely changed though he still lost a little bit
of weight he was clean and was in good shape. His
hair was neatly cut and his eyes were of an
innocent child.
.
Lihle: (smiling) how are you?
Amo: I'm good
Lihle: I can see
Amo: I came to get my champ
Lihle: please bring him back soon he has to go to
school tomorrow
Amo: you can pack his uniform
Lihle: huh?
Amo: I really want to spend time with him even if
its for one week
Lihle: are you sure you can handle him, taking him
to school and fetching him plus making lunch box?
Amo: he's my son don't worry. I'm sure you need
time to yourself and hubby
Lihle: I guess you're right. (Smiled) let me go
pack
.
She went inside the house
.
Chris: thanks dad
.
He smiled briefly then greeted Dave who waved
at him then took his car and drove off.
.
.
LATE AT NIGHT
AT DUDU'S HOUSE
.
Olivia creped out of her room leaving Mayah
sleeping and made her way to the guest room
where Day was sleeping. She got into bed
underneath the covers and wrapped her little
arms around Day. He turned around facing her
and smiled
.
Day: (whispering) you know your mom will kill me if
she finds you here
Olivia: (smiling) I don't care
Day: this is her house we have to respect that
Olivia: I called you to be here, why did you come
if you don't want us to get cosy
Day: I still want to know the truth behind that
phone call
Olivia: Babe…
Day: I want the truth from you
She tried to get out of bed but Day got on top of
her and pinned her down. She could literally feel
his hard member hanging low resting between her
thighs. He was that big? She got more curious
.
Day: talk
Olivia: kiss me first
.
He leaned in and baby kissed her.
.
Olivia: not good enough
.
He frenched kissed and breath heavily as Olivia
had his member in between her thighs rubbing it
with her thighs.
.
Day: stop that
.
She stopped as he said that in a demanding tone.
.
Day: don't play me for a fool. I want the truth
Olivia: (looking at his chest) I took back
Amogelang's watch and found him not in a good
state to I ummh decided to help him
Day: you went to your ex's house
Olivia: I went to return his watch, it was raining
and needed a shoulder to cry on I was there. I
spent the night then…
Day: you what?
Olivia: babe nothing happened okay we just talked
and he was emotional he slept on my lap..
Day: (getting off her) leave my room now
Olivia: Day just…
Day: I thought you came to see your family here
but you came to play happy family with your ex
Olivia: (tearful) babe…
.
He pushed her out and locked the door then went
to bed. He took his phone and searched for
Amogelang on Facebook he couldn't believe what
he was seeing
.

.
.
AT DAY'S ROOM
.
He looked at his brothers pictures and without a
doubt they looked alike. He saw his nephew and
smiled. In each post he made Olivia always
reacted with a heart. He didn't like it, the
thought of losing her over his brother didn't sit
well with him. He took out the engagement ring he
got for her and looked at it shining bright in the
moonlight and wondered if she was the one. He
put it back in his pants and put his phone aside
trying to sleep.
.
.
IN THE MORNING
.
Olivia woke up early in the morning, she felt down
for some reason. Mayah woke up early and went
to sleep with her grandmother. Olivia decided to
do the laundry. He picked up Mayah's clothes on
the floor she turned back and saw Day standing
by the door in his sweatpants and black vest. She
looked the other way holding in her tears.
.
Day: Olivia
Olivia: (tearful) if you want to tell me of how
much I'm a whore then go ahead I'm slowly
getting used to such insults
Day: (closing the door and walking towards her)
I'm sorry about the way I reacted yesterday
Olivia: it doesn't matter
Day: (hugging her from behind) it does, I'm really
sorry. I'm just scared of losing you
.
Olivia covered her face with her hands and cried.
.
Day: (turned her around and hugged her) don't
cry babe we are fixing this right?
Olivia: (crying) I'm crying because you don't trust
me, is that why you wanted us to test? Because
you thought I was whoring around huh
Day: I do trust you my love and i had long wanted
us to do it so we can be on the safe side… shit I
hate seeing you cry
Olivia: (calming down)
Day: (sighed) there we go, I'm sorry okay?
Olivia: okay
Day: its rare to find someone like you nowadays
(sighed) I want to settle down and start a family.
Me, you, Mayah and her brothers and sisters
Olivia: haa how how children do you want?
Day: four
Olivia: (shocked) haa do you know labour pains and
pushing the head out process?
Day: (smiling) I want a big family, we already have
one daughter. Just three more to go
Olivia: yoh ngiyalingwa la
Day: if you keep saying things I don't understand
I will add one more
Olivia: (smiling) you're crazy
Day: (holding her close) I love you Olivia and I
want you to be mine alone. I can't share you with
any other man
Olivia: what do you mean?
Day: I don't want you seeing him alone or in
secret. I will get him professional help
Olivia: he's already getting that he just needs
someone who will hold his hand and applaud him
for doing good and trying
Day: and that person won't be the woman I love
Olivia: what?
Day: you have to chose between me and saving
him. I will take whatever decision you make and
live with it.
Olivia: but you're not fair
Day: I just want to know where we stand that's
all. Its either him or me
.
Mayah knocked on the door then Day opened the
door for her.
.
Day: (lifting her up) morning my little princess
Mayah: (smiling) morning daddy
Day: I was thinking we should go out today as a
family
Olivia: I can't join you I have to help out with…
you what
Day: okay I understand
Olivia: but you can go with her
Mayah: I want ice cream
Day: its cold daddy doesn't want to get you sick
Olivia: let me go make breakfast
Day: that won't be necessary since I'm taking her
out
Olivia: okay me go bath her
.
She took her and went to the bathroom.
.
.
AT MICHAEL'S HOME
.
People had gathered to help out with the funeral.
Lindi dished pap and soup for her dog
.
Lindi: mama where can I leave it so it can cool
down
Her mom: live it there by the stair, I told you to
live that dog of yours home
Lindi: aah ma it was going to die because of
hunger
Her mom: leave it there and go get the tray so we
can serve the elderly tea
Lindi: okay
Zodwa: let me help you with that
Lindi: sesi Zodwa its been long
Zodwa: its been long indeed you have grown
Her mom: why are you here?
Zodwa: to show support, Michael is still the
father of my son
Her mom: I guess you are right… mmh you are now
too skinny yaz
Zodwa: I want to lose weight
Her mom: yoh cha your method is working
Zodwa: (looked at the time) excuse me I need to
use the bathroom
Her mom: okay, Lindi you are still here?
Lindi: oh sorry
.
Lindi went to get the trays while Zodwa went to
the bathroom. She got in and took her pills. Her
phone rang then she answered.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
Michael's mom needed to use the restroom. She
whispered to the old lady sitting next to her then
got up and went to the bathroom. She heard a
familiar voice before she could enter
.
Zodwa: (laughing) uuu best friend, yaz if I knew
he was going to die this soon I would have never
divorced him yaz…. No listen the reason I'm here
is because I want to see if maybe I got something
something. I'm the mother of his son I'm sure he
left something for me yabona. Yes ngizele
machankura (laughing) yaz Mara why didn't he die
when we were married….
Micky's mom: (angry) you slut
.
She took the broom behind the door and hit her
screaming "you are happy my son is dead huh,
what kind of a person are you?" . She ran out
screaming and fell down the stairs feeling her
face in Lindi's pap. She ran out screaming as her
face got burned and jumped into the pool. People
stopped Micky's mom and took her back to her
room. Lindi ran to the pool
.
Lindi: Sisi Zodwa
.
Zodwa swam out of the pool crying
.
Zodwa: help me yoh I'm burning
Lindi: (looked around but no one seemed to care)
let me take you to the clinic
.
Lindi walked her to the clinic where she quickly
received medical attention.
.
Zodwa: (gave Lindi her phone) please call Zakes
Lindi: its working?
Zodwa: yes its water proofed
Lindi: okay
.
Lindi called Sales and told him Zodwa was in the
clinic. He rushed to the clinic, when he arrived
Lindi had long gone home. He found Zodwa waiting
for him inside. She was busy on her phone to
notice him but he could see the bandage on her
face and on her hands. She was scarred for life.
She quickly turned back and went to his car then
texted her.
.
Zakes: (text) I'm sorry but we won't work
Zodwa: what?
.
He started his car and drove off.

ONE WEEK LATER
.
OLIVIA
.
I came back home from Micky's home after the
will was read out. Apparently he had money saved
for his two kids Mayah and Lubanzi. It was
basically there to help them further their studies
once they are older which was a good thing. I
went back home to pack because me and Day
decided to go back home.
.
I heard someone knocking and my mom went to
open. I carried on packing for my daughter. My
phone rang and it was Amogelang, as usual I
ignored it though I felt guilty for doing it but I
had to. He called me again and I answered.
.
Me: Hello
Amo: why are you doing this Oli, what did I do to
get this treatment?
Me: nothing I just can't
Amo: (tearful) you made a promise
Me: I'm sorry Amogelang, there's just so much at
stake
Amo: so he doesn't want you anywhere near me,
my so-called brother
Me: Amogelang…
Amo: no Olivia its okay, I deserve whatever is
happening to me and its time I accepted that I
will never be happy or good enough for everyone.
I'm not good enough for you, I'm not good enough
for my family, I don't even deserve to be a
father
Me: Amo you know that's not true
Amo: (laughing) didn't he tell you he's the Golden
boy now. I'm just a thing now, I get sidelined in
fact I got disowned by my father
Me: I didn't know
Amo: I'm going to drink now then go and attack
Dave
Me: Amogelang
.
He hung up on me. I tried to call him but it was
off. I think an hour passed while I was just laying
in bed for no reason or maybe I was out of this
world because I can't tell you what was on my
mind. I went to the bathroom to take a bath, I
just needs to clear my mind. I dialled him again
and it didn't go through. I took off my clothes
and went in the water only in my bra and panties
on.
.
I closed my eyes relaxing as my body adjusted to
the cold water. I heard someone come in. I didn't
open my eyes because I really didn't care.
.
Voice: Oli
.
I opened my eyes as I saw someone I had last saw
I think when I was 10. My grandmother. She was
now really old but her smile still melted my heart.
.
Me: (smiling tearful) grandmother
Her: you have grown
Me: and you are still as beautiful as I remember
Her: (laughing) your father always said that
Me: he always told me to remind you of how
beautiful you are because without you there's no
him and without him there's no me
Her: he taught you well,
Me: (tearful) I miss him specially when my life is
a mess.
Her: your mother told me about Day and this
Amogelang
Me: please don't judge me grandmother but help
solve it
Her: (smiling) I think your mother has already
done the judging part pretty well
Me: she has already made me feel like I killed
someone
Her: that's her alright
Me: yep my mother
Her: now tell me Oli, tell me what is wrong, she
says you're confused
Me: I'm not confused (sighed) I'm stuck between
choosing to help the man I care for or choosing
the man I love
Her: who do you care for?
Me: Amogelang
Her: and who do you love?
Me: Day
Her: why won't Day let you help Amogelang?
Me: because I am Amogelang's ex but I don't get
where the fuss is I mean I'm not sleeping with
him
Her: if he went to help his ex tomorrow and even
sleep at her house would you be happy?
Me: but its different gogo
Her: I asked would you be happy?
Me: no
Her: what would be on your mind?
Me: they are screwing each other
Her: that is how he feels right now. Yes Amo
helped us with a lot of things and we can't keep
blaming him for the past but he has to act like a
grown man. As long as you nurse his heart and kiss
his forehead he will be your second husband and I
don't think Day would like to play Micky mouse
with you.
Me: how do I do that ma, he's family is neglecting
him because of Day. They envy him gogo. They
compare them, I know they are old and what what
but it still hurts him. He's only left with with me
Her: they are giving him time to grow you should
do the same
Me: I guess you might be right
Her: I'm always right
Me: thank you grandma
Her: (smiling) pleasure, let me go talk to your
mom, I have to say my great granddaughter is
beautiful
Me: thank you
.
She smiled then slowly made her way out of the
room. I just closed my eyes held my breath and
went down the water. Everything she said made
sense. I love Day with all my heart, he showed me
true love exist and the way he bonds with Mayan
plus less drama. I should just let Amo go and
accept defeat I don't know, every time I think
about him my heart beat a little faster, I don't
know if its love or its guilt of leaving him at his
lowest point…
.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
Mayah and his Day came back from the shops
with bags of treats. They got in the house and
Olivia's granny was surprised to see a tall
muscular guy.
.
Her: (whispered to Dudu) Oli really knows how to
pick them
.
She just laughed and stood up making tea for Day
while Day chat with Olivia's grandmother and to
her Day was definitely the perfect husband for
Olivia.
.
Mayah: dad I was to show mommy my lollipop
Day: go ahead sweet heart
.
Mayah ran to her mother's room, she was not
there she decided to go to the bathroom. She
saw her feet hanging out the bathtub, she
panicked as she did not move, the image of her
father appeared and she just screamed her lungs
out terrified. At the kitchen Day and Oli's
parents dropped everything and rushed to her.
.
Day got in and pulled out Olivia's head, she
coughed shocked noir knowing what was
happening. Mayah jumped in the tub hugging her
mother tightly crying her lungs out.
.
Day: she's okay see, she's okay baby girl
Mayah: (crying losing her voice) mommy…. Mommy
Olivia: I'm here I'm not going anywhere
.
Day helped them out of the tub, Mayah still
holding on to her mother refusing to let go.
Olivia's mother wrapped them in a towel.
.
Grandma: let's give them space
Dudu: but..
Grandma: let's go
.
They walked out and closed the door. Day stood
by the door starring at her, she could see he was
burning in rage as his jaws tense.
.
.
.

.
.
OLIVIA
.
I could see that he was angry and I couldn't
understand why because I was fine. Mayah still
held on to me digging her nails onto my skin. I
really need to get them cut after this.
.
Day: why are you doing this to me Olivia, why?
Me: I didn't do anything
Day: you go over to my brother's place and spend
the night, we moved past that you now want to
commit suicide. Do you see what you just did to
Mayah?
Me: I didn't want to commit suicide, I was
thinking
Day: about what, who my brother?
Me: can we not talk about this now
Day: no Olivia just tell me if you don't want me
Me: Day I love you, what more do you want me to
say, you know what I'm tired if you want to go
then go
Day: (sighed sitting next to me) do you really
mean that
Me: I said two things which one?
Day: that you love me?
Me: yes, I had time to think about us and you're
such a blessing to me and Mayah I would be
stupid to let go of you and go back to him though
I was just helping him but if its hurting you then
I won't do it anymore
Day: and never do this again you scared the shi…
(looking at him reminding him Mayah was in the
room) the ships out of me
Me: (laughing) we have to get our ship together,
Mayah doesn't need a broken home. She needs
loving parents
Day: (smiling kissing my forehead) you're right, I
love you
Me: I love you too
Day: (pulling down the towel looking at Mayah)
Mayah honey
Mayah: mmh
Day: mommy is not going anywhere okay?
.
She said nothing only tightening her grip on me.
It was really painful now. Day got a tissue and
wiped something on my back
.
Day: see you're now hurting mommy
Mayah: I'm sorry
Day: let mommy go get dressed we will wait for
her here okay?
Mayah: no water
Day: no water
Me: please change her into something dry
Day: let's go change my princess
Mayah: wait for mommy
.
She let go of me, I went to take a quick shower
after that went to the room and picked clothes
for her. Her father dried and dressed her while i
went to dress up in the bathroom. I came out and
Day was still seated on my bed with Mayah on his
lap playing with her teddy.
.
Day: I want us to go out tonight
Me: really?
Day: yes babe just me and you
Me: but we have a flight to catch
Day: I have cancelled it
Me: yoh babe so much money wasted already
Day: and it will be replaced soon babe don't worry
about it
Me: okay where will you take me?
Day: you will see babe
Me: (putting on my earrings) I hope its beautiful
Day: I think it is but we have to ask permission
from miss manager
Me: really now?
Day: (looking at Mayah) Mayah
Mayah: mmh
Day: are you still sad?
Mayah: yes
Day: do you want ice cream?
Mayah: no I want mommy
.
I sat next to them and held her hand.
.
Me: mommy is okay, I'm sorry about what you saw
earlier and it won't happen again
Mayah: what if mommy swimms to heaven like
Michael when I'm not here
Day: she won't because doesn't miss her yet
Mayah: so she was not going to heaven?
Day: yes she was sleeping
Mayah: sleeping?
Me: yes only adults know how to sleep in water
not you
Mayah: okay
Day: do you want us to watch Madagascar on
daddy's laptop?
Mayah: (excited,) yaay!
.
They went to get the laptop and sat on my bed
playing the movie. I went to the kitchen to make
popcorn. My mother and grandmother looked at
me.
.
Me: I'm okay gogo
Her: I hope this is the last time you're scaring us
like that
Mom: I hope so too
Me: it was a misunderstanding mama nothing more
to it. We solved it and were now going to watch a
movie as a family
Her: this Day seems like a great guy
Me: he is and I'm hurting him. He is who I have
been longing for these past few years
Mom: finally she acknowledges that
Me: (laughing) oh and by the way I need you to
babysit for me tonight
Mom: kanti aren't you going to London today as in
after as in after an hour?
Me: we cancelled
Her: ba Landani?
Mom: (laughing) London is a place mama
Her: yoh zinto zebelumbi
Me: (taking out the packet of popcorn from the
microwave) so mom?
Mom: its okay I will babysit
Me: thank you
.
I put the popcorn in a bowl then went to join
them. We watched the movie till it ended. Well I
don't actually know when it ended because I was
waken by my mother and Day was gone.
.
Mom: you have a date remember?
Me: oh I had forgotten
Mom: he left the address there for you
Me: okay thanks
.
I quickly went to take a shower and wore my sexy
maroon tight dress with my black heels. Combed
my not-so old weave. Then took a taxi to town. I
went to the hotel I was directed and the room
number was 220. I knocked and was let in by my
one and only Day October or should I say Day
Dibuseng who was in his black trousers and
shirtless. My heart bounced a little this man was
actually mine, it was still hard to believe.
.
I walked in to the perfectly set picnic on the
floor. There was wine, roses and candles. To keep
it simple it was perfect.
.
Day: (smiling) you're early beautiful
Me: (smiling) I was a bit over excited
Day: let me go put on my shirt
Me: uh ah you remain shirtless or I'm leaving Mr
Dibuseng
Day: (laughing) what the lady wants the lady gets
.
We both laughed. I sat down as he poured me
wine. I don't drink but today, I just wanted to
enjoy my man in peace and forget about
everything else.
.
Day: you're beautiful
Me: thank you
.
Sipped my wine and for a moment during out
conversation I found myself starring at his lips
and not to mention that body.
.
Me: Day
Day: mmh
Me: please don't break my heart
Day: if you don't want that then become my wife
.
He pulled out a little black box opening it and the
most beautiful thing ever just shined on the box.
It was an engagement ring, I smiled this was
amazing he wants me to be his wife.
.
Day: (smiling) and?
Me: (tearful) yes I will be your wife
.
He placed it on my finger and God did it feel
great. He then leaned over and kissed me. The
need for him to touch me overwhelmed me as I
ran my hands on his body. He pulled away and I
pulled him back and kissed him again. I then
whispered to him
.
Me: can you take me to bed already?
Day: (smiling) are you sure
.
I nodded smiling then he just kissed me
deepening the kiss and carried me to the bed
where he layer me down and #seald
.

AT THE HOTEL
.
Day woke up next to Olivia who was still sound
asleep. He smiled shaking her
.
Day: babe… Mrs D
Olivia: (sleepy) mmmh
Day: its already morning
Olivia: mmh
Day: (laughing) get up we have to go home
Olivia: noooo
Day: Mayah has to go see the psychologist
Olivia: mmmh
Day: (getting out of bed) I'm going to take a
shower you better follow me
Olivia: yeaaaaaa
.
Day went to take a shower he then came back
only to find Olivia still asleep. He sighed looking
at her. He went to lotion and got dressed. Then
decided to call Olivia's mom.
.
Dudu: hello
Day: mom its Day
Dudu: oh Day I hope you didn't forget you have to
take miss manager to the psychologist
Day: mmh can you please bath her for me?
Dudu: I already did, ay she really needs help you
know she refused to bath, she literally broke
down. I had to beg her and make empty promises
Day: we will take her there
Dudu: okay
Day: take care
Dudu: you too
.
He hung up and shook Olivia once more. She sat
up straight rubbing her eyes.
.
Day: (smiling) morning
Olivia: morning
Day: (kissing her hand) can you please take a
shower so we can go home
Olivia: carry me to the bathroom then
Day: (laughing) you enjoy abusing me
Olivia: I just need to make sure these (touching
his muscles) aren't fake
Day: (lifting her) okay beautiful
.
He took her to the bathroom and put her down.
.
Olivia: (losing balance) woah
Day: (holding her) are you okay?
Olivia: (laughing) yeah…. Its been long since I had
that kind of exercise
Day: (laughing) did you enjoy it?
Olivia: it was awesome
Day: (kissing her neck) you were awesome, though
I wanted more
Olivia: (laughing) one round is enough Mr
Day: okay hurry up so we can go home and take
our princess to the shrink
Olivia: (laughing) they are not shrinks
Day: (going to the bedroom) I'm not going to
argue with you not now
.
Olivia took a quick shower when she walked in to
the bedroom in her towel she found an Edgar's
plastic bag, she opened it and there was a simple
yellow flare dress and sleepers. She smiled
putting them on then Day walked in.
.
Olivia: (smiling) thank you you're such a blessing
Day: (smiling) you're welcome
Olivia: did you see my panties?
Day: you won't need them anymore
Olivia: Day I want my panty, your shit is going to
drip over…
Day: okay okay (taking it out of his pocket)
Olivia: (shocked) gosh what the hell is it doing
there
Day: nothing just get dressed so we can get going
Olivia: search for my pantry lines there on my
purse
Day: (taking them out) aren't these pads?
Olivia: (laughing) God I can't believe this man
right now, oh I also need to get the pill from the
pharmacy
Day: why not let Alpha grow
Olivia: Alpha?
Day: our little boy
Olivia: no no no I don't want another baby not
now at least
Day: (smiling) there's no rush babe
Olivia: (smiling) okay
Day: do you want me to order us something
Olivia: (going to the bathroom) no babe I'm good.
.
She came out after a few minutes then they went
home. They arrived and Olivia shared the good
news with her mother. She was so excited she
kept singing wedding songs
.
Her: I'm so happy for you my angel
Olivia: (smiling) thank you ma
Her: (excited) I can't wait (singing) umakoti
ungewethu
Olivia: (laughing) hawu mama Mara
Mayah: there's going to be a wedding
Day: yes my angel me and your mom are getting
married
.
She jumped up and down in excitement. It was
indeed great news. After a few minutes they
went to thee psychologist. At the hospital while
Mayan was at the office with the psychologist
Olivia saw Mia packing files and decided to go
chat with her.
.
Olivia: babe excuse me I need to chat with my
friend over there
Day: oh (his phone rang) okay let me take this
.
He went to answer his phone outside while Olivia
went to Mia.
.
Olivia: hey
Mia: (surprised) Olivia how are you?
Olivia: I'm good how are you?
Mia: (hugging her) I'm fine its been long gosh you
have changed
Olivia: (laughing) its been long how is my boy
Vuyo?
Mia: he is all grown up 10 years and still counting,
he really misses you
Olivia: can I see him before I go?
Mia: aargh he is at school, we had him
transferred to a boarding school, actually let me
write down this number for you (writing it down)
you call and ask for him. He will be back on the
holidays for Christmas
Olivia: I'm sure I will be here, I hope he doesn't
think we forgot him?
Mia: (laughing) when school closes he usually helps
your mom in her shop but during that time you
were busy going up and down working
Olivia: you're right, how have you been though?
Mia: great, well all my prayers have been
answered, I have twins
Olivia: congratulations
Mia: (laughing) they had always been there, I just
have been fighting with their father over
custody.
Olivia: oh okay I'm glad…
Mia: (noticing the ring) oh my God you are getting
married
Olivia: (smiling) yes
Mia: (looking at it) this is the real thing , wow its
hard to believe he decided to leave his wife and
marry you
Olivia: (laughing) its not Amogelang
Mia: (laughing) you're seriously going to deny him,
girl he's outside
Olivia: his name is Day not Amo
Mia: (shocked) so you like them tall and dark like
Amo
Olivia: no I didn't even know they were brothers
Mia: they are brothers?
Olivia: yes and the drama, hhay its tiring Amo is
falling apart on the other hand I feel like its my
fault (sighed) I have decided to stop caring about
him because it will destroy what I have with this
amazing man
Mia: I can see he truly loves you and ever since
you came here he's always with you and Mayah
Olivia: I'm so lucky
Mia: (smiling) I'm happy for you
Olivia: thank you where is Jane?
Mia: she is working night shift
Olivia: I'm not on her good side, we fought a while
ago.
Mia: yeah she told me
Olivia: I want to apologize but she won't even
take my calls
Mia: she's such a drama Queen. Don't worry I will
talk to her
Olivia: oh I need an emergency pill we did the
deed without protection last night
Mia: (laughing) follow me
.
Olivia's phone rang and it was Amogelang, she
ignored it and followed Mia to get the pill.
Meanwhile outside Day hung up smiling after
talking to his father about sending his Uncles to
Olivia's. He saw Mayah walking out with Dr M and
went to them. They had a little chat then he went
to the car with Mayah. He texted Olivia telling
her where they were shortly after she joined
them in their car and drove home
.

OLIVIA
.
A lot has changed these past few months, I am
traditionally Mrs Dibuseng and we are now
planning my white wedding. I have to admit I have
been a wreck these past few days being a mom
and balancing school and stuff has been hard but
all in all it has been great. Oh before I forget
I'm now doing my practicals. I put away my laptop
and checked the time.
.
It was 23:54, perfect I hope Day is asleep, I
made myself warm milk and drank it slowly just to
pass time. By the time I was finished it was
00:20. Yep he's definitely sleeping now. I went to
our room and slowly walked in careful enough not
to wake him and slowly got into bed.
.
Day: I'm not asleep Olivia
Me: well I'm really tired, I have work tomorrow
Day: why don't you want us to have a baby its
been seven months now
Me: babe you said there was no rush
Day: that was months ago
Me: I don't want a baby
Day: why because I'm not good enough you're still
waiting for my brother
Me: you called him again didn't you?
Day: (looking at me)
Me: I don't understand why you keep going to him
or calling him because you guys will never get
along
Day: he's my brother, my little brother
Me: I don't want to talk about Amogelang, you
said his name is not allowed to be said in this
house remember?
Day: you started it Olivia now you're shifting the
blame
Me: its just that I know you want us to have a
baby just to spike him
Day: and what is wrong about that?
Me: aargh you two are acting like kids its tiring.
I'm yours Day I don't see the need to be
competing with him
Day: he said I shoot blanks
Me: (laughing in disbelief) so?
Day: I don't shoot blanks I want to prove it
Me: I'm not your lab rat
Day: (pulling down my pyjama pants) come on,
damn I miss this p***y
Me: condom
Day: I'm making Alpha
.
He tapped his D on my butt then spread them
searching my hell hole then slowly stretching his
way in.
.
Day: (grunting) aah
Me: (moaning softly, pushing him back) Day…
.
he went back a little and started thrusting on me
slowly…
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
I woke up early and popped my pill. I went to wake
and bath Mayah, mind you it takes time to get her
to bath since she's scared of water. After I was
done with her I went to the kitchen to make her
something to eat but my love was already making
us pancakes
.
Mayah: morning dad
Day: morning princess, I made your favourite
Mayah: (smiling) thank you
.
She sat down and began eating, I poured myself
juice and Day hugged me from behind.
.
Day: (whispered) please don't take the pill
Me: Day…
Day: please
Mayah: I'm done
Me: okay princess let's go
.
Mayah hugged her dad then we left the house. I
drove her to preschool then drove to work. I
arrived and quickly got on with work though my
mind was allover the place.
.
.
AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
.
He woke up and got ready for work. Chris had
already bathed and was waiting for him
downstairs. He poured himself cornflakes and
milk then sat down eating. Amo came to the
kitchen and placed his cup on the table making
himself coffee.
.
Chris: morning dad
Amo: morning son
Chris: how are you feeling
Amo: I'm good boy
Chris: so when will Grandpa arrived
Amo: any minute from now
.
Chris kept taking but Amo's mind just wondered
off he poured Hus cup of coffee looking at the
door. He just saw Olivia walking in smiling like she
used to. She was beautiful he wondered if she
still looked the same.
.
Chris: (yelling) Dad,!!!
Amo: (shook his head) what?
Chris: you're pouring coffee in my cornflakes
Amo: (looking at the bowl that was already full
with coffee and milk) I'm sorry boy let me make
you some
Chris: it's okay I'm full
Amo: okay
Chris: let's go watch TV
Amo: okay
.
He led him to watch TV then after a while
Richard arrived, Chris ran to greet him. He then
went to get his bag and went to the car.
.
Amo: please take care of him
Richard: I wish I could help you some how
Amo: I will be fine, I'm no longer drinking
Richard: that is what worries me the most, you
didn't do that because you have been living with
Chris now that we are taking him…
Amo: (fake smile) I will be fine
Richard: there are many girls out there, she's
now your sister in law
Amo: if only she was nothing to me just an ex I
would be happy dad, I wouldn't have to see her
everyday. I would move on but she's with my
brother. I feel like she replaced me by him
rather than moving on
Richard: don't start with your nonsense, I told
you I would cut you off if you disrespected your
brothers marriage
Amo: (sighed) I need to be at the office
Richard: you need to sleep that face will scare
clients off
.
Richard stood up then walked out of the house.
Amo took out his phone, he went through Day's
pictures on Facebook and smiled looking at Olivia
and Mayah. He saved that picture and made it his
wallpaper. He then delated it and put his phone
away regretful.
.
He watched TV but after a few minutes found
himself back on Facebook. Olivia had blocked him,
he made a fake account and sent a friend request.
After 10 minutes she accepted. He got excited
and sent her a message
.
Him: hey
Her: hi Rick, is that your real name?
Him: yes
Her: it's creepy talking with someone who I
doesn't have a profile pic
Him: oh sorry give me a second.
.
He downloaded one of his friends picture on
Facebook and posted it. She hearted it.
.
Her: are you new on Facebook?
Him: yes I'm suffering from depression so I was
hoping to get a friend, you know someone to talk
to since my family doesn't care
Her: don't worry all shall be well as long as you
pray and trust God
Him: you are such a nice person
Her: thank you I have to go my lunch hour is gone
Him: okay I hope we won't be strangers
Her: worry not friend
.

AT THE HOSPITAL
.
Olivia's shift ended, she walked out with her
friend Shadow.
.
Shadow: long day
Olivia: (laughing) yeah long day indeed
Shadow: but you are doing good Doctor Dibuseng
Olivia: do you want a ride home?
Shadow: yes sure
.
They went to her car.
.
Shadow: so what's up?
Olivia: nothing
Shadow: you were really slow today at work
Olivia: from doing good to slow
Shadow: yes today only
Olivia: (laughing) uh what can I say, so much is
happening
Shadow: marriage problems?
Olivia: my husband wants us to have another baby
Shadow: and?
Olivia: I just can't… well at least not now. Am I
evil for not wanting to give him a baby?
Shadow: why don't you want a baby?
Olivia: I just want to enjoy being a Doctor… it has
been my dream and I want to enjoy it now. Having
a baby means having a lot of responsibilities. I'm
lucky Mayah is grown up. She is not much work
like a baby, they cry, they poop its so much hard
work
Shadow: (laughing) I think children are a blessing
and well its kind of selfish to deny him the chance
he had been waiting his whole life but again your
needs come first you can't always put your life on
hold to impress others
Olivia: how is that an advice?
Shadow: communication is important, just tell him
how you feel about this
Olivia: I told him few months ago but now its a
different story
Shadow: well if I had a guy like him I would have
many kids but I guess I will never get to feel the
feeling of being pregnant, feeling her kicks and
hear her call me mommy
Olivia: you can't have children?
Shadow: (tearfully smiling) yeah
Olivia: you can adopt
Shadow: I know I have been thinking about that
lately
Olivia: you would make a great mom
Shadow: you think so?
Olivia: (stopped by her house) yeah
Shadow: thank you and by the way do what makes
you happy
Olivia: I will bye
Shadow: bye
.
Olivia then drove home. She arrived home and
found Day watching TV with Mayah sleeping on his
chest. She took off her shoes exhausted and
went to them
.
Olivia: hey
.
Day said nothing changing the channels
.
Olivia: looks like someone is grumpy
.
Day said nothing and stood up taking her
daughter to her room. Olivia went to the kitchen
to get herself something to eat. Her food was in
the microwave. She took it out and was about to
eat when she just lost her appetite. Day came
back and took his laptop.
.
Olivia: Day what is wrong?
Day: did you take the pill?
Olivia: no well…
Day: I can't believe you right now, saw the empty
box you threw in the bin
Olivia: come on babe its not a big deal
Day: well it is to me, I want us to grow our family.
I also want to see little me and feel what most
men feeling the kick, taking your woman to see
the doctor, hearing his heart beat (smiling)
finding out there's two of them. Hearing his first
cry, smiling, and him calling me daddy, his first
fall, picking him up and helping his ride his bicycle.
I never had a chance to witness that with Mayah
(sighed) and I guess I never will my needs always
come last remember.
Olivia: I just want to enjoy being a Doctor and I
don't want to be fat before my wedding day
Day: like I said it doesn't matter, as long as Miss
Universe is happy we can all go to hell.
Olivia: you're not fair
Day: I'm sure Amo is
Olivia: I can't believe you said that
Day: you're still not over him, you even have
pictures of him and Mayah and the missed calls
Olivia: I don't take his calls that's why they are
missed calls
Day: I'm glad you enjoy being called by him if you
didn't you would have blocked him
.
She looked at him tearful as he went to sit down
on the couch and worked on his laptop. Olivia went
to their bedroom. She took off her clothes and
went to take a cold shower. She cried for a while
then went out and dried herself. She put on her
night dress and went to bed, she took her phone
and delated all the pictures that had Amo in
them. From the one theory took at her mothers
function to the last one he took with Mayah. She
blocked his number then put her phone aside and
cried
.
She heard a notification come in from facebook it
was her friend Rick. She logged in and he had
posted a lot of his pictures with his kid and
family.
.
Him: hey can we talk?
Olivia: I don't feel like talking maybe we can talk
tomorrow
Him: are you okay did something happen?
Olivia: I'm fine goodnight
Him: okay sleep tight
.
.
AT AYANDA'S APARTMENT
.
She put her baby girl on the cot then took her
plate of food from her mother.
.
Yaya: thank you mom
Her: you're welcome (taking the baby) she's
beautiful and doesn't look like her father
Yaya: (laughing) what are you saying mom?
Her: (laughing) its doesn't matter who you look
like as long as you are beautiful and glowing my
Yolanda
Yaya: she's really beautiful, I'm glad I didn't give
her away
Her: me too
Yaya: and your favourite
Her: (laughing) she's just different
Yaya: are the girls done with their homework
Her: they are done they went to bath now
Yaya: okay
Her: you are God sent are you my angel
Yaya: if only she can hear you
Her: she can she's just sleeping
.
Phiwo and her sister sat on Yaya's bed looking at
Yolanda who was in her granny's arms
.
Phiwo: gogo can I hold her?
Her: no you will drop her she has to be held by
grownups right now
Monde: why angumlungu?
Yaya: (laughing) she's not white baby girl she's an
albino, she has low skin pigment
Phiwo: haa
Yaya: (laughing) you will understand when you are
all grown up
Monde: Muhle sisi
Her: you two have to be in bed now
Monde: but there's no school tomorrow
Her: I give orders not the other way round
.
Pouting they kissed Yolanda's forehead then went
to their room.

OLIVIA
.
I woke up not early as usual probably because I
was off today. I went to brush my teeth in the
bathroom then went to the laundry room to do
some laundry. I won't lie what Day said to me
yesterday hurt me, I had planned to take Mayah
out for skating as surprise but how can I do that
will my mood at zero.
.
I put on the clothes added water and the washing
powder. I then started it. Consume in thoughts or
should I say what happened last night I felt him
hugging me from behind breathing on my neck.
.
Day: I'm sorry about what I said last night
.
I just felt weak, the will to talk wasn't there only
tears spoke out for me. He pulled down my pyjama
pants and #sealed
.
He slowly pulled out and let go of my waist taking
shirt on the ground and wiping himself. I pulled up
my pyjama pants not looking at him. I stood there
like a statue as he kissed my neck.
.
Day: don't cry okay?
Me: (tearful) okay
Day: (turning me to face him) I love you and you
can still do everything you want to do even when
you have the baby
Me: yes
Day: (kissed my forehead) don't kill this one
.
Wow so now I'm a murder, just amazing. I said
nothing to him and just looked away.
.
Day: did you hear me?
Me: yes
Day: let me go check on Mayah I left her
watching barbie on my laptop
Me: okay I should continue with these
.
He went out then I continued with the laundry
.
.
AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
.
He took a few calls from work then went to made
himself food. He was eating when his phone rang
again. He looked at the screen and it was written.
Your date with Olivia. He smiled and logged in
send her a message.
.
Him: hey
Her: hi how are you?
Him: I should be asking you that
Her: I'm okay now
Him: care to share what was wrong?
Her: no its just one of those days
Him: (laughing) I see
Her: I see you have made a few friends now
Him: yeah but they are a bit snobbish
Her: (laughing) yeah right
Him: please tell me what's wrong?
Her: marriage is not as easy as I thought that's
all
Him: what did he do now?
Her: its nothing we just had an argument about
having a baby but its all sorted now
Him: you want a baby?
Her: not now I just wanted to focus more on
building my career, I mean I have not even
graduated yet. I'm scared I might slack and mess
everything up just like the first time but I don't
know. When I want things to go north they always
go south
Him: having a baby is your choice don't let him
force you to anything you don't want
Her: I'm married and I also have to think about
his feelings. I love him and he's the best thing
that has ever happened to me.
Him: (disappointed) oh, what happened to your
ex?
Her: its complicated but to cut it short I don't
see me and him together
Him: (shocked) okay he must have been a jerk
Her: its not that, I just don't want to talk about
it. I have to go
Him: okay I hope we will chat again
Her: sure
.
.
AT AYANDA'S APARTMENT
.
She breast fed Yolanda while her mother packed
away some of her stuff.
.
Her: so when do you plan on telling her father
about her?
Yaya: I want nothing to do with Amogelang
Her: this baby can bring you guys…
Yaya: I'm not confused mom, I don't want
Amogelang in my life its as simple as that
Her: I thought we were moving past that
Yaya: how can I move on if you keep bringing him
up?
Her: you told me you loved him
Yaya: yes past tense loved. I'd rather give
Yolanda away than to have to face him everyday
playing stupid daddy
Her: your anger will affect Yolanda
Yaya: I'm always happy but you just ruin
everything by bringing Amogelang up. Its tiring
.
Yolanda started crying then her grandmother
took her and sooth her.
.
Yaya: (tearful) she's my baby
Her: you're understood dear I'm sorry
.
Yaya got off the bed and went to the bathroom.
She shut the door closed and cried.
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOME
.
After she was done with the laundry she went to
lay down. She needed to cool down and think, the
best way to do that was the bathtub method. She
remembered what it did to Mayah and pushed it
aside. She then just cried, Day walked in and she
kept quite. He sat next to her worried.
.
Day: babe what's wrong?
Olivia: nothing
Day: I thought we fixed things
Olivia: its not that
Day: then what is it about?
Olivia: nothing
.
She gave him her back and just cried.
.
Day: I don't know what you want me to say my
love
Olivia: I just want to be left alone right now
Day: no we talk about things now
.
He sat her up straight and wiped away her tears.
.
Day: talk to me I'm your husband
Olivia: I just wish you trusted me more dear
husband. There you have it
Day: I do trust you babe I really do, sometimes
you just make it hard for me to do that. I really
want to have a baby…
Olivia: you will get your baby Day… you will be a
father soon don't worry
Day: (sighed) I'm sorry
Olivia: every time I refuse to do something I'm
going to be blackmailed using my ex, I might as
well get used to it now because I doubt it will
change any time soon
Day: (regretful) I'm sorry babe
Olivia: its cool. Let me forgive you now before you
say "if you were Amogelang I would have long
forgiven you". Please leave I need to be alone
.
She got off the bed and went to the bathroom
locking herself in…
.
FOUR MONTHS LATER

OLIVIA
.
I told Day last night what happened last night.
We didn't talk much of what I what we were
going to do but today I woke up determined to fix
things with Mr Milan. I went to bath then got
dressed. Day woke up while I was dressing up.
.
Him: (confused) where are you going?
Me: to work
Him: where?
Me: at the hospital, I'm going to beg for a second
chance
Him: (getting off the bed) I don't see the need
to do that. I mean you will carry on struggling
just like you normally do
Me: I can't believe you said that
Him: babe don't take this the wrong way but you
have been having a hard time juggling being a
mom, wife and being a doctor. I do most of the
stuff around here from making dinner to taking
our daughter to school.
Me: I help where I can this pregnancy hasn't
been much of a joyride
Him: that's why maybe you should take a break
Me: I can't I won't this is important, if I mess up
I might not get employed ever
Him: that doesn't matter I can take care of my
family.
Me: no I want to do my own thing
Him: so I'm providing for you the way you want
me to provide?
Me: no I just don't want to depend on you
Him: were married Oli we have to depend on each
other. I mean I want a housewife, it would be nice
to come home to a home cooked meal, cooked by
your beautiful wife and having dinner as a family
other than having these takeaways.
Me: I don't want to be a housewife I want to be
independent, work have my own money. I have to
find a way to make it work, I can't fail now no
Him: babe relax
Me: (looking at him) the last time I relaxed
people who seemed to care about me walked away
and I ended up without a home carrying a new
born in the streets of Jozi with no where to go.
The very same day I got (crying) I got gang
raped. It wouldn't have happened none of it would
have happened if I kept my legs closed. I should
have stopped dating the moment Bongani played
me but I went ahead stupid Olivia, you are so
stupid…
.
He pulled me close and hugged me tight
.
Him: why didn't you tell me babe?
Me: (crying) because instead of loving me you
were going to feel sorry for me
Him: don't cry my love I'm sorry
Me: (feeling a sharp pain below my belly) ssh ash
Him: you need to calm down babe just breath
Me: I need to get to the hospital now. He was
angry yesterday I'm sure he is fine today
Him: you're in no condition to go there babe
Me: this is my dream, I can't …(feeling the pain)
God…. Ouch
Him: (worried) should I call our Doctor?
Me: (slowly getting off the bed) no I don't have
time, I will see if the baby is good there
Him: no Olivia you will kill him
Me: I will get checked out then come home if I'm
not okay
Him: I'm not a fool I know you won't do that
Me: aargh I'm going anyway, I don't need your
permission
Him: we're going there together
Me: (taking my handbag) Day that won't be
necessary
.
I went out and he followed me rushing to take the
car keys of both cars. Just perfect.
.
Me: I want the car keys now
Day: wait for me to get dressed
.
He went back to our room. Mayah walked out of
her room yawning.
.
Mayah: mom what's going on?
Me: nothing
Mayah: I'm hungry
.
I worked to the kitchen and made her cornflakes,
she then sat down and watched cartoons. Her
father walked out
.
Him: (kissing her cheek) morning princess
Mayah: morning dad
Him: me and mommy have to go somewhere. Why
don't you be a good girl and watch cartoons till we
get back or play with your dolls?
Mayah: (smiling) okay
Him: don't cook anything or else you will get
burned okay?
Mayah: okay
Him: (looking at me) let's go
.
I followed him out and got into the car. Along the
way he would just stare at me and look away when
I looked at him. It was awkward and I felt
vulnerable now that I told him what happened to
me. I wondered if our sex life would change or
remain the same. If I was still the same Olivia he
fell in love with. I wondered …
.
Him: what are you thinking about?
Me: nothing, what are you thinking about?
Him: nothing
.
We went back to silent mode till we arrived at
the hospital. I wanted to go straight to Mr
Milan's office but Day dragged to the reception
and we were taken to Dr Dirang. He checked my
blood pressure and did a scan and I won't lie my
heart was not at ease hearing my baby's heart
beating so fast.
.
Dr: your blood pressure is high if you don't take
things slow you might lose him
Me: him?
Dr: its a boy
Him: (smiling tearful) Alpha
Me: yoh
Him: tell us what we need to do doctor
Dr: she needs bed rest and avoid everything that
causes stress. I will also give her some mineral
and iron supplements
Him: okay
Dr: she better not over do things
Him: she won't
Dr: okay I'm done here
.
He said exiting. Day looked at me with his serious
face.
.
Him: you heard him
Me: i…
Him: if this baby means something to you, you
would at least put everything on hold till you
deliver
Me: now you're making me feel terrible for
chasing my dreams
Him: go ahead then do what you want but if you
dare lose him (pointing at me) I swear to God you
will see my dark side
.
I kept quite as I saw his fierce look. It was scary,
I kept quite and followed him out. We took the
pills from the doctor then drove back home. He
stopped the car and brought a cake for Mayah
then came back.
.
Him: try not to ruin her day with that lame face
.
I looked out the window as tears rolled down and
secretly wiping them away. He drove us home,
Mayah was so excited when she saw the cake she
went crazy. We sang her happy birthday then had
the cake.
.
Mayah: my presents
Him: tomorrow were all going out on a boat trip
just to cool off and relax
.
Mayah jumped in excited she really loved boat
trips. I decided to go to bed and sleep.

AT DAY'S HOUSE
.
He heard a knock on the door while he was
cleaning his daughter's wound in the living room.
.
Day: its open
Mayah: (frowning) ouch daddy it hurts
Day: I'm sorry baby I'm almost… done see?
Mayah: (smiling) it still hurts ice cream would
make me feel better
Day: blackmail don't work on me young lady
Mayah: (laughing) at least I tried
Shadow: hello everyone
Day: (smiling) hey
Mayah: hi
Day: you go play in your room I will call you later
for ice cream okay?
Mayah: okay
.
She walked to her room and Shadow and Day
starred at each other awkwardly then smiled.
.
Day: how are you?
Shadow: I'm doing okay, how are you?
Day: I'm doing good I guess
Shadow: she's beautiful
Day: (smiling) my everything
Shadow: how old is she?
Day: she just turned 4
Shadow: she's beautiful looks like she's 5 or six
Day: I know
Shadow: you have become thin
Day: (smiling) you know life with its up and down
if only I married you maybe I wouldn't be this
thin
Shadow: (laughing) we can't turn back the clock
now
Day: I still wish to know what happened?
Shadow: some things are better left than said
Day: (sighed) I guess you're right
Shadow: I'm actually here to see your wife
Day: oh you can go to that room, she was sleeping
Shadow: okay
.
She smiled at him then walked into Olivia's room.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
I have been stuck in bed for the past few weeks
being monitored every once in a while. It really
sucks being stuck and unable to do anything.
Shadow knocked and came in smiling. I was happy
to see her face
.
Shadow: hey
Me: hi how are you?
Shadow: I'm fine how are you?
Me: as you can see I'm trapped here
Shadow: come on you're just taking a break
Me: I'm just stuck here being Day's prisoner and
he seems to enjoy doing this to me. Sometimes I
just regret getting married it sucks
Shadow: I think you should stop being negative
about your life and start looking at things
differently
Me: I'm positive I want to be successful, I want
to be independent and be happy and I can't do all
that (tearful) I think I will never have that
Shadow: you will
Me: when huh, how can I get there if people like
Day are standing on my way?
Shadow: is he really standing on your way or is he
trying to be a good father?
Me: a good father?
Shadow: man don't think like us woman. I know
you took this bed rest thing lightly but to him it
was like he was being told your baby will die if you
don't rest which is partly true. Imagine being told
that with your first child
Me: (sighed)
Shadow: you're busy chasing after success that
you can't even see it hurts the ones you love.
Have you seen your husband?
Me: I see him everyday
Shadow: I mean have you really observed him?
Me: no
Shadow: tell me Olivia ever since you got home
and rested what are the activities you have been
doing to help around the house?
Me: (ashamed) none
Shadow: that's because he does everything in his
power to help you throughout this pregnancy. He
cooks, he cleans, takes Mayah to school, play doll
with her and do all sort of activities ask me how
do I know all that shit
Me: (silent)
Shadow: ask me?
Me: how?
Shadow: because not a day goes by he doesn't
post a picture of him and Mayah having fun.
You're always online and yet you fail to see what
your husband is doing everyday to make you
happy. He even post pictures of you sleeping
writing sweet messages about his pregnant wife
and all of them are written stolen moments and
why is that?
Me: I didn't know all that
Shadow: you are blinded by your success that you
can't see he loves you. You are even abandoning
your baby girl. He has to play both roles in her
life. When was the last time you read her a
bedtime story or should I ask when was the last
time you picked her up and dusted her after she
had fallen from running?
Me: I don't remember
Shadow: yet you are a doctor. I guess you'd
rather be a hero to strangers than be a hero to
your own family. He can't brag about you and his
sun because you are always pushing him away.
What's the use of having so much money when
you have no one to spend it with. I just wanted
you to know that
Me: (smiling) thank you Shadow
Shadow: you're welcome (looking at the time) I
have to go before my shift starts
Me: okay have fun
Shadow: see you
.
She walked out after that I quickly took my
phone and logged into Facebook. Rick had been
quite these days I sent a "hi" then went to look at
Day's timeline and there were many photos of him
and Mayah having fun. In each photo he made an
excuse why I wasn't there. I felt so ashamed, I
was missing out a lot because I was living in my
own world for so long to abandon the ones that
love me.
.
He walked in with a tray of food
.
Him: hi
Me: (smiling) hi
.
I remember of how unthankful I was whenever he
gave me food. I took the plate and started eating.
.
Me: thank you its delicious
Him: (impressed) really?
Me: (smiling) don't make me take that back
.
He laughed softly sitting on the bed and taking
my feet to his lap and massaging them and it felt
so damn good. Why was I so blind he always does
this but I never enjoyed it but today I can see
his love for me its the little things that count. I
removed my hands from his lap and got ofd the
bed. He looked at me confused not knowing my
intentions.
.
Me: can I?
Him: yes
.
I sat on his lap hoping I was not to heavy and
placed his hand on my tummy. I then French
kissed him it was just so emotional and breath
taking.
.
Me: I'm sorry for being a bitch
Him: don't…
Me: shh…
.
I kissed him once more
.
Me: I love you with all my heart and I promise to
give you the family you have always wanted. Minus
the housewife part
Him: (laughing) I don't give a fuck come here
.
He kissed me then just rubbed my tummy for I
don't know how long
.

AT DAY'S HOUSE
.
OLIVIA
.
I woke up in the morning leaving my husband in
bed and went to take a quick shower. I walked out
and got dressed he looked at me confused
.
Him: where are are you going?
Me: no where relax.
Him: Olivia, I thought we fixed things last night
and…
.
I walked to him and sat on the bed kissing him.
.
Me: just go back to sleep babe, do you trust me?
Him: (sighed) yes
Me: good.
.
I walked out and went to make breakfast then
went to wake Mayah for bathing.
.
Mayah: where is daddy?
Me: he is are asleep
Mayah: he doesn't want to bath me anymore?
Me: no sweetheart daddy is tired. He needs to
rest, don't you want me to bath you?
Mayah: no
Me: then why you want daddy?
Mayah: he just does better
Me: oh (noticing her bruise) where did you get
this bruise from?
Mayah: I told daddy
Me: well tell me now
Mayah: I fell on the ground while running
Me: aww I'm sorry my angel
Mayah: (smiling looking at the door)
.
I turned back and saw my husband standing by
the door chewing something smiling at us.
.
Him: morning
Us: morning
Him: hurry up princess mommy made us yummy
breakfast
Mayah: really mommy?
Me: yes and you will only eat after you're dressed
up
Mayah: (excited) I hope you made eggs they are
delicious and daddy never makes them for me
Me: (wrapping her on a towel) come
.
I walked out with her as Day followed me and
went to get her dressed he then did her hair the
way she liked it. She sat down and ate her
breakfast, while I went to boil the kettle to make
myself tea. My husband came next to me
.
Him: hi
Me: (smiling) hi
Him: I'm sorry
Me: for what?
Him: for being a jerk
Me: no I should be thanking you for being the
best husband and father. I get you did all that
because you fear losing your son and I don't
blame you, I have been focusing more on my
career that taking care of myself was not that
important forgetting I was putting my son's life
in danger. I know most of my actions hurt you and
I have been unfair to you ever since we got
married but I'm willing to fix all that. You have
been playing both roles of being a mom and dad to
our daughter and I saw that today. Mayah adores
you more than me and though it hurts I don't
blame anyone but me
Him: (hugging me from behind) and I won't lie
ever since you told me about what happened to
you, I have been regretting a lot of things and I
sometimes don't know how to behave around you.
I somehow wished I was there to protect you no
one deserves that. I have been regretting that
day when I forced myself on to you. I'm sorry I
don't know what the fuck I was doing, who
carries on fucking someone who is crying I just…
Me: its all in the past now. I know that its going
to take me time though I act like I'm okay I also
have my fears ever since that time, I scared of
walking alone in the street at night, I'm scared of
being alone with my male colleagues, i fear going
to the parking lot alone at night and most of all I
fear for my daughter. I am still try to get pass
that hoping one day I will forget about all that
and when it comes to Alpha I don't regret making
him because I have a feeling he's going to be the
best thing that has ever happened to us
Him: I love you
Me: I love you too
Him: I think it would be best if we both went for
counselling together, you know get professional
help
Me: okay
.
I turned around and kissed him
.
Mayah: mom
Me: mmh
Mayah: I can't find my colouring book
Him: do you always have to lose it before you go
to school?
Mayah: I don't remember where I put it
Him: let's look for it you know mommy can't bend
down
Mayah: okay
Him: let go look for it in your room
.
Day followed Mayah to her room to look for it
after a couple of minutes they came back.
.
Me: did you find it?
Him: yes
Me: I have already prepared her lunch box
Him: (giving Mayah her backpack) thank you love
Me: when will you come back from work?
Him: at 13:45 because I have to get Mayah from
preschool
Me: okay
Mayah: daddy let's go I want us to go with the
black car
Him: aren't you going to kiss mommy
Mayah: oh sorry
.
She kissed my cheek
.
Mayah: bye mommy
Me: bye my angel
.
She walked out with her father…
.
.
AT THE MALL
.
Amo saw Ayanda walking out of Jet and made his
way to her. Ayanda saw Among coming and rushed
to her car quickly trying to unlock the car door
with her shaky hands the keys fell and Among
took them from the ground.
.
Amo: hi
Yaya: hi
Amo: can we please talk now
Yaya: I'm rushing off somewhere
Amo: I just want to apologize Yaya. I know words
mean nothing but that's all I can offer because
you don't want anything from me
Yaya: (tearful) I just want you to leaver me alone
Amogelang
Amo: listen I know I hurt you and ….
.
Ayanda's phone rang in the car. It was at the
back seat, and Amo saw a beautiful baby girl
smiling displayed as a wallpaper. She was an albino
and looked exactly like his mother. How can he
forget such a face.
.
Yaya: give me my car keys now
.
He pushed her aside opening the door and taking
her phone. She tried to grab it from him but he
pushed her aside opening her gallery and saw
pictures of the baby with Ayanda and her family.
.
Amo: you were pregnant with my baby?
.
Yaya looked at him tearful and began crying
.
.

.
.
AT THE MALL..
.
Amogelang looked at her wanting answers
.
Amo: don't stand there crying, why did you his
her from me?
Yaya: its pointless talking about her because….
Amo: because?
Yaya: she died a month ago
Amo: don't lie to me
Yaya: I'm not lying
Amo: let's see
.
Amo screened down her contacts and saw her
mothers number.
.
Amo: let's call mom shall we?
Yaya: stop doing this Amogelang
.
He dialled her and it started ringing
.
Yaya: (crying) okay okay she's alive
Amo: (angry) take me to her now
.
Yaya stuffed her plastics at the back as Amo sat
at the front seat. She got in wiping her tears and
drove out. Along the way she started crying again
.
Amo: I know I did you wrong but that does not
mean my daughter has to suffer because of my
sins, if arresting me will make you feel better
please do it
Yaya: you know I can't do that, I don't want my
baby to grow up knowing that she's a child of
rape. I know she might be mocked at school
because of her skin I'd rather deal with that only
Amo: (swallowed) what pains me is that I can see
she's already paying for my sins. I love all my
children and I want them to know each other. I
might not make a good boyfriend or husband but
I can be a good father. What's her name?
Yaya: (sighed) Yolanda
Amo: (smiling) it's beautiful Yolanda Dibuseng
.
She said nothing as she continued to drive. She
parked her car at the parking lot then took out
her plastics, locking the car then going to her
apartment. She opened the door and Amo walked
to a warm room, her mother came with Phiwo and
she was surprised to see Amogelang
.
Amo: greetings
Her: greetings my boy
Phiwo: hello
Yaya: he's here to see Yolanda
Amo: I prefer you call her my daughter
Yaya: yah his daughter
Phiwo: haa you are her father?
Amo: (smiling) yes I am
Her: follow me then
.
He followed Ayanda's mom to Ayanda's room. She
led him to the baby cot and for the very first
time he got hold of his daughter.
.
Amo: I hope she's not a cry baby
Yaya: she's the sweetest angel you've ever met
Amo: she looks exactly like her grandmother
.
Ayanda and her mother looked at each other then
back at him.
.
Yaya: she doesn't look like Judith
Amo: (smiling as Yolanda smiled) my real mother,
she was also a beautiful albino (sighed) she got
killed in front of me, I was just a boy couldn't
protect her but you my angel, I will protect you
with everything I've got
Her: I'm sorry for your loss
Amo: its okay I guess
Her: let me leave you guys
.
She walked out and closed the door before
Ayanda could say anything to her. Ayanda
remained behind looking at Amogelang bonding
with her daughter
.
Amo: I love her eyes they are different
Yaya: I have noticed, I'm sorry about what
happened to your mother
Amo: I'm all good (smiling) she's just a blessing
thank you
Yaya: its okay
Amo: can you please take pictures of us?
Yaya: okay
.
She took his phone and started taking pictures of
him and his daughter. After that he just sat down
with her angel laying on her chest till she fell
asleep.
.
Amo: I wish I could hold her forever
Yaya: (smiling) that's because she doesn't cry
much… ummh its getting late and…
Amo: yeah you're right I should get going
.
He stood up and slowly put her back in her cot
careful enough not to wake her up.
.
Amo: I need your bank account so I can send you…
Yaya: that won't be necessary Amo. I can afford
to take care of her but if you want you can buy
her stuff and drop them here for her
Amo: okay well can I have your number so I can
call you when I want to come see her
Yaya: okay
.
She put her number on his phone then gave him
his phone. Her mother was standing by the door,
he then said goodbye and left.
.
Her: why didn't you give him your bank account?
Yaya: no mama I'm known as the gold digger
remember. Allowing him to send me money would
just cause problems next thing I get called and
threatened
Her: but it was for the baby
Yaya: I can afford my daughter or she's in need
of something?
Her: no she has everything
Yaya: exactly, I don't want his money. I want him
in my life. He's even lucky he knows about
Yolanda.
Her: (sighed) I'm still worried about you. You
need help
Yaya: I don't stop saying that. I'm doing good.
.
Yolanda started crying
.
Yaya: diaper change
Her: (smiling) let me get the diapers
.
She walked out while Ayanda went to Yolanda's
cot.
.
.
AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
.
He came back home feeling lighter than ever. He
had a daughter the most beautiful thing ever. He
cleaned his house and cooked himself dinner
something he had never really done before. After
that he sat down looking at his pictures with his
daughter. He thought about posting one then the
thought of these perpetrators hunting down his
daughter kicked in. He decided not to. He looked
at them smiling then Olivia's picture showed up
.
He remembered its been a while since they chat
and logged in to facebook with his fake account
and smiled seeing a message from her. He then
replied.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
AT DAY'S HOUSE
.
Day was laying on their bed when a notification
from facebook hit Olivia's phone while she was in
the bathroom taking a shower.
.
Day: babe your phone
Olivia: (yelling) answer it!
.
He opened it and it was a message from Rick
written "hey beautiful I missed you". His heart
started pounding, he scrolled down their
conversation and everything written there was
not so pleasing. He went to check details about
the guy and his account was made using
Amogelang's email. He started boiling as he rolled
his fists smashing the lamp on the wall. Olivia
walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel
.
Olivia: babe what's going on?
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
AT DAY'S HOUSE
.
Olivia saw the face she last saw while in hospital,
so dark and fierce her heart pounded looking at
the smashed Lamp.
.
Olivia: what's wrong?
Day: (angry) you are asking me what's wrong?
Olivia: (swallowed hard) why are you angry, you're
scaring me
Day: so you're busy chatting with Amogelang
telling him everything about our marriage huh?
Olivia: I don't even remember the last time I
spoke with…
Day: (shouting) don't you fucken play dumm with
me!!!
Olivia: (tearful) please don't scream Mayah is in
the next room, I don't even know what you are
talking about
.
He got off the bed and walked straight to her as
it started raining and lighting striking turning the
lights on and off she moved back going in the
bathroom.
.
Day: if you know what's good for you, you won't
close that door
Olivia: (tearful) please don't ….
.
He grabbed her by her neck and pushed her
against the wall pushing her up a bit till she was
hanging trying to catch her breath.
.
Day: why did I have to fall for a whore
(tightening his grip) why?
Olivia: (tapping his hands, tearful) please…
.
He pushed her to the bed, she grabbed the lamp
throwing it at him but he quickly dodged it and
slapped her across the face. She froze for a
moment crying while Day got on top of her
strangling her
.
Olivia: (crying) you will kill Alpha
Day: (stopping) leave my house now
Olivia: and go where?
Day: (angry) just go
Olivia: (tearful) can we please just…
Day: talk about what huh, you think I'm stupid
Olivia: I don't know what you are talking about
Day: (shouting) why do you keep lying?
Olivia: (covering her face with her hands crying)
I'm not…
Day: (gave her her phone) what is this?
.
She looked at her conversations with Rick and
cried.
.
Olivia: I'm sorry I spoke with strangers about our
marriage
.
Day: (laughing in disbelief) wow strangers, you're
really stupid Day just Stupid. Leave Olivia before
I kill you
Olivia: where will I take Mayah at this time?
Day: (angry) my daughter is not going anywhere,
she won't suffer for your whoring. Now leave!
Olivia: I'm not going any….
.
He grabbed her by her hair and dragged her out
the door. Olivia tried to fight him and even hit
her by her phone but it was useless. He banged
the door pleading him to open up but he didn't.
She called Shadow
.
Shadow: hello
Olivia: (crying) hi … can you please come and get
me… Day is freaking out over something stupid
now he threw me out … please help me
Shadow: I'm coming okay where's Mayah?
Olivia: she's inside he doesn't want me to have
her Oh my God whai if he…
Shadow: no don't even think about it, he would
never do that. I'm coming okay
Olivia: okay
.
She stood outside while it was raining till it kind
of stopped. Shadow arrived and Olivia got into
her car, she gave Olivia her warm blanket then
drove to her house. She got home and gave her
some of her old pyjamas and made her tea
.
Olivia: I still think we should have took Mayah,
what if he take out his stress on her?
Shadow: he won't Day loves kids
Olivia: (curious) and how do you know all that?
Shadow: ummh we used to be friends, we grew up
together that'd all
Olivia: oh
Shadow: (looking at her swollen face) anyway
what happened?
Olivia: I went to take a shower when I came back
he was angry screaming at me, saying I was
cheating with my ex, he then choked me, I was
scared for my life (sighed) I don't know what he
was talking about. He showed me conversations I
had with a guy from Facebook I'm still confused
he thinks its his brother
Shadow: were you flirting with him?
Olivia: no we spoke about my marriage most of
the time, which I know is wrong but …
Shadow: he must have seen something to conclude
its him
Olivia: (giving her the phone) this is not
Amogelang this guy has a family
Shadow: (looking at details) I see
Olivia: what?
Shadow: looking at the email registered there
Olivia: (looking bat the phone) Oh My God that
son of a…
Shadow: ey
Olivia: (tearful) how can he do this to me, what
did I ever do to deserve this what?
Shadow: (hugging her) I'm sorry
Olivia: we were fixing things now this (crying) will
I ever be happy?
Shadow: don't cry, he will come around he loves
you he's just angry for now
Olivia: (crying) I love him, I don't think I can
survive without him
Shadow: calm down okay
.
Olivia kept crying while she held her close.
.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
Day went to get himself the bottle of whiskey he
had hidden on his safe, he remembered Mayah
was home and went to empty it on the sink. He
poured himself a glass of water and went to sit on
the couch. "At least she was with Shadow" he
thought. Mayah walked out of her room with her
teddy and looked at his father.
.
Day: having sleepless night like daddy?
.
She nodded
Day: come here
Mayah: (laying her head on his chest) where's
mommy
Day: she's with Aunt Shadow
Mayah: why?
Day: because Aunt Shadow is sick and mom has to
help her because she's a doctor
Mayah: okay
Day: do you want us to do something for fun?
Mayah: yes
Day: let's go camping
Mayah: what is camping?
Day: we will build a tent, make fire, roust
marshmallows and tell stories
Mayah: but its raining
Day: (smiling) come
.
Day went to Mayah's room while she followed him.
He watched him put two big chairs a bit further
from her bed then pulling the bed cover over
them. He placed books so it won't slip off from
the chairs and bed. Mayah got excited. He took
one lamp and put it inside lighting their space.
.
Day: get all your friends to join us
Mayah: (smiling) Mr teddy, and Mr bumble bee
will join us (mimicking) "oh don't forget me too" I
won't forget you Mrs Ginny
.
Day laughed seeing her play, she was so cute. She
put her ear over Mr teddy like he was whispering
something to her then looked at her father.
.
Mayah: daddy
Day: yes miss
Mayah: Mr teddy wants ice cream
Day: okay we will have that after we make fire
Mayah: how will we do that?
Day: only I make fire if you do you will never see
Mr teddy again
Mayah: (terrified) that is horrible I won't make
fire
Day: (brushed her head) good girl now wait here
.
He went out to get the heater ice cream and
marshmallows with sticks
.
He plugged it while Mayah sat under the tent. He
plugged a marshmallow on her stick and his. Then
crawled down joining her laying on their tummies
roasting their marshmallows.
.
Mayah: (smiling) tell a story daddy
Day: (laughing) once apon a time there was a
princess that lived in a palace of love named
Mayah. (She giggled) everyone one in the village
were happy and healthy because there was a
magical crystal that protected them one day
Mayah took the crystal and went to play with it
and it was fun, she loved the way it shined but
little did she know people got sick in the village
even Mr teddy and Mrs Ginny
Mayah: (sad) that's sad
Day: her father asked her where the crystal was
and she denied it and people got more sick.
Mayah: shame
Day: but she told the truth and everything went
to normal
Mayah: Mr teddy got healed?
Day: yes because she told the truth. It is wrong
to lie because it hurts people who love you
Mayah: I won't lie, I never lie
Day: good girl, what do you think of your
marshmallow
Mayah: (chewing) delicious
.
He laughed and they had more and ate ice cream
till she was full and unable to move. He turned off
the heater and laid next to her while he covered
her in a blanket
.
Day: tomorrow I'm taking you to granny
Mayah: why?
Day: because Daddy has to go to S.A
Mayah: to do what?
Day: to deal with someone…
.
Mayah couldn't stay awake much longer, she just
fell asleep and Day joined her to lalaland

AT DAY'S MOTHER'S HOUSE
.
Olivia looked at him shocked, she wanted to cry
but held back her tears. She had to save her
marriage and it was clear tears weren't going to
do her good.
.
Olivia: we have not even started preparing for our
white wedding and you're already asking for a
divorce
Day: I want out of this marriage Olivia, I tried
but I have failed you love…
Olivia: I love you, Amogelang tricked me and now
you're letting him win
Day: why are you doing this?
Olivia: because I love you and I know I gave you
all the reasons not to trust me but I have
changed.
Day: mom thinks…
Olivia: this is between me and you not your
mother
Day: she knows me better than you
Olivia: did you think of what this might do too
Mayah, she loves you as her father and now…
Day: I love her too I just can't be with her
mother
Olivia: your wife (annoyed) you can't just get me
pregnant, beat me and then leave me like that
after ruining my life
Day: I'm sorry about last night, I regret it just
go and arrest me if it will make you feel better
but I just can't be with you. I was doing well all
along but now I'm at my breaking point , look at
yourself
Olivia: we can fix things. I forgive you (tearful)
you can take a break if you feel you need space
Day: (sighed) okay
Olivia: can I have a hug?
.
Day opened his arms for her then she went close
for a hug.
.
Olivia: let's go home, I will move my things to
the…
Day: no I will move my things to the guest room,
you keep the room
Olivia: okay let's go
.
They both went downstairs and Day went to get
Mayah
.
His mom: and then?
Olivia: we're going home
His mom: oh no dear he's divorcing you
Olivia: no were not, I bet it was your idea all along
you never liked me
His mom: I was just helping you
Olivia: helping me how exactly by separating me
and my husband?
Him mom: ever since you two got married you
have never been happy its been fight after fight
Olivia: couples fight it's normal
His mom: I hope you don't regret this
Olivia: trust me I wont

AT AYANDA'S APARTMENT
.
Ayanda watched Amo bonding with his daughter
and smiled.
.
Yaya: you visit a lot nowadays
Amo: (smiling) my princess lives here so this has
to be my second home
Yaya: how is Chris?
Amo: he's okay and was really excited when I told
him about his little sister
Yaya: he is a really nice boy
Amo: and how about you any boyfriend?
Yaya: (laughing) no I'm still working on myself
right now, having a man is the last thing on my
mind.
Amo: (smiling) at least I won't have to worry
about my daughter calling someone else daddy
Yaya: (smiling) you're her father anyone else is
her uncle end of story, I really don't want to
confuse my daughter
Amo: (smiling) you're a great mom
Yaya: you're not bad yourself
.
They both laughed
.
Amo: I think we will handle this co-parenting
thing like pro's
Yaya: (smiling) yeah I think we will do just fine
(looking at the time) I have to go for my sessions
now
Amo: okay, I'm glad you're getting help. I don't
mind paying…
Yaya: nah its okay, I can afford it
Amo: (smiling) I almost forgot independent woman
Yaya: (laughing) you got that right, let me go now.
Mom is in the kitchen if you need anything
Amo: okay
.
Yaya kissed her daughters forehead then took
her purse and left.
.
.
DAY
.
Olivia, Mayah and I got home. There was this
silence between us which I find strange and its
scares me. I don't want to go back in my old ways
being an abuser. I thought I had closed that
chapter for good but since last night I'm scared
of hurting Olivia again. She has lost her voice
what is next. I looked at Mayah she's such a
sweet soul so innocent and probably the only soul
that makes me happy
.
Olivia: I will make dinner
Me: okay, I will start moving my things
Mayah: where are you going?
Me: daddy has to move to another room because
the bed is too small for him and mommy
Mayah: we can share my bed daddy I don't have a
big tummy
Me: (smiling) what did daddy say about sharing
your bed?
Mayah: (remembered) I must not share my bed
with boys and girls who want to touch my diamond
Me: what else?
Mayah: only mom touches my diamond
Me: (smiling) why can't I touch it?
Mayah: because you are as man
Me: and if a man wants to touch it what do you
do?
Mayah: tell mom or run to the police
Me: (smiling) good girl
.
She was a fast learner and I loved it, Olivia was
shocked to hear her say those things. Though I
bathed Mayah she knows she was to clean her
private area herself and she must not poke
herself down there, these are some of the things
that I teach her.
.
Mayah: let me help you move
Me: okay
.
She moved things likes books while I moved the
heavy stuff. I'm not sure how this will work but I
will see when time goes. I still wanted to deal
with my so-called brother. I wanted to know how
he would react now that I know the truth. I sent
him a scan of my little boy and wrote
.
Me: thought you would love to see your unborn
nephew Uncle Rick
Amo: can't wait for him to call me daddy
Me: you're not even ashamed of your actions
Amo: why would I big bro?
.
I couldn't respond to his, I can't believe he's my
brother for once I wish I never found out about
him. I lost my appetite and decided to go jogging.
I put on my sweatpants and vest then went out
.
Olivia: where are you going?
Me: jogging
Olivia: food?
Me: I'm not really hungry
.
She said nothing just showed a disappointed face.
I left and went jogging lost in thoughts I found
myself outside Shadows house.
.

DAY
.
I went to knock and she opened still in her
uniform. I guess she just got back from work.
.
Shadow: hi
Me: hey can I come in?
Shadow: sure
.
I followed her in and sat down on the couch. She
went to pour us lemonade, I smiled its been years
since I had that
.
Shadow: (smiling) and that smile?
Me: I just don't remember the last time I had
lemonade
Shadow: (laughing) you got rich and forgot all
about it
Me: (laughing) or maybe I didn't want to miss us
Shadow: yeah it was the only thing we could
afford back then
Me: why did you leave me Shadow?
Shadow: I don't want to talk about the past
Me: I just want answers, what did I do to you?
Shadow: you did nothing
Me: then why?
Shadow: the accident ruined everything, it
damaged my womb
Me: (shocked) shit
Shadow: (tearful) I knew I couldn't give you the
family you've always wanted. The family we
planned to have. I decided to save myself the
heartache and move on
Me: why didn't you tell me? We would have dealt
with it together
Shadow: no I just wanted you to be happy
.
I pulled her close for a hug. I wish she told me
instead she kept this to herself. I would have
never left her she was my world and understood
me like my mother. She pulled away and dried her
tears.
.
Shadow: we can't do this
Me: you're right
Shadow: why are you here?
Me: I just needed to get away from everything
Shadow: you guys are fixing things right?
Me: yeah
Shadow: don't worry everything will fall into place
Me: I hope so (sighed) if we survive this I'm
buying a new boat
Shadow: (laughing) and name it after me
Me: (laughing) yeah I will. I should get going
Shadow: okay let me walk you out (remembered)
oh wait…
.
She went to her room and came back with a letter
.
Shadow: can you please give Olivia this
Me: okay
.
I folded it and placed in on my pocket then
walked out and jogged back home
.
.
MEANWHILE
.
Olivia put Mayah to bed then went to her room
and called her mother
.
Her: mmh hello
Olivia: hello mom
Her: I guess you are having problems for you to
call me now
Olivia: (silent)
Her: out with it Olivia
Olivia: I'm having problems with my husband and
I don't know hpow to fix it
Her: what did you do?
Olivia: does everything have to be my fault
Her: Olivia what did you do?
Olivia: Amo tricked me and created a fake
account on Facebook. He got information about
my marriage pretending to be someone else. Now
Day is angry though he knows the truth he
wanted a divorce I kind of fixed things with him
and agreed to give him space
Her: (confused) how do you give your husband
space?
Olivia: we now sleep in separate rooms
Her: (shocked) and my granddaughter is seeing all
this bullshit?
Olivia: its better than having Day abandoning us
Her: Olivia I'm giving you three days to bring
back my daughter or hell shall break lose
Olivia: she's my daughter
Her: and you're making her see all this. You are
starting to damage her
Olivia: (sighed) you're not helping mom
Her: fix your marriage if you want to but I don't
want my granddaughter to be exposed in that
environment. Mayah should always come first, she
might be young but she's not stupid every fight
she records on her mind and you might start
seeing the results in her teen years
Olivia: you're right. I will talk to her father about
that
Her: okay and if you guys end up divorcing you
need to take a break from men
Olivia: you're right about that
Her: don't force things and just for once follow
your heart if you love that Jerk ass called Amo
then go for it
Olivia: mom are you okay?
Her: (smiling) I just don't want you to end up
being 35 with 6 children from different fathers
just because you were afraid of going back to the
one you love because of what people would say
Olivia: okay
Her: take care of yourself and bring back…
Olivia: (smiling) your granddaughter
Her: I'm glad you got that right, wait how is
being a doctor so far?
Olivia: its great
Her: oh are you enjoying it?
Olivia: yes I am got to go
Her: okay
.
She hung up and went to get herself magnum
from the fridge. Day walked in and they
awkwardly looked at each other
.
Olivia: hey you're back
Day: yeah
Olivia: ummh we have to talk about something
Day: (sitting on the couch) okay shoot
Olivia: mom misses Mayah and she would love to
have her home for a while
Day: she has school here she can't go
Olivia: she will start afresh at home
Day: No you're not taking my daughter away from
me. Its hard making friends and she might get
bullied, I can't protect her when she's that far.
She no longer speaks your Zulu it will take her
time to adjust
Olivia: I know you care but this house right now is
not an ideal home to have her in. Seeing her
parents fight won't do her good Day
Day: (sighed) okay you're right
Olivia: its going to be for a while just until we fix
our issues
Day: I get it
Olivia: okay goodnight
Day: (remembered) Shadow gave me this
Olivia: you were at her house?
Day: yes I just needed someone to talk to
Olivia: yet you get angry when I talk to strangers
Day: Shadow is not a stranger, she is a friend
Olivia: your ex
Day: I'm definitely not in the mood to fight right
now so good night
Olivia: I'm sorry
Day: we didn't do anything and I didn't say much
about our problems
Olivia: (taking the letter from his hand) thank you
Day: okay goodnight
Olivia: goodnight
.
She turned off the lights and went to her room.
She opened the letter and it was from Mr Milan.
Her heart pounded reading each word.
.
"Dear Mrs Dibuseng
.
I have decided to give you a second chance in
finishing doing your practicals because ever since
you started here you have shown nothing but
working hard and doind well in your work. most
doctors never complained and I know you would
make a great doctor with just a little push. I'm
giving you a send chance do not mess this up. I
wrote a report about you being sick and taking
leave for three weeks. I expect you back at the
hospital on Monday…"
.
It was like I was dreaming, I jumped up and down
in excitement and Alpha gave me a few kicks
reminding me he was here. I laughed, I'm not
going to play with opportunity ever again I said to
myself
.
THREE MONTHS LATER
.
.
.
#93
.
.
.
OLIVIA
.
We went out of ICU my first time experiencing
an operation done in 6 hours.
.
Doctor Rashin: how was the experience Dr
Dibuseng?
Me: (smiling) it was mind blowing. I guess we now
have to play the waiting game
Nurse Jones: Dr Rashin you have to update the
patients family
Me: don't confuse them
Doctor Rashin: that's my favourite part
Me: I'm already done for the day so I will see you
tomorrow
Doctor Rashin: okay
.
I knocked off and decided to go get myself
something to eat at the local restaurant. I sat
down as they prepared my meal and Amogelang
walked in.
.
Him: is this seat taken
Me: yes
.
He sat down
.
Me: what do you want?
Him: is this how you talk to your future husband?
Me: I can't believe you flew from S.A and came
here just to do this, I'm starting to think you're
crazy Rick
Him: (smiling) I thought you have forgiven me for
that shit
Me: just because you bribed Mr Milan to back me
back doesn't mean I will just easily forgive you
Him: I did that profile because I wanted to be in
your life
Me: that was not even necessary, you're already
in my life I'm married to your brother remember
Him: how is he?
Me: you should fix things with him so you can ask
him yourself
Waiter: your takeaway madame
Me: thank you
.
I paid and left. Amo ran after me.
.
Him: Olivia
Me: just leave me alone, I don't love you
Him: prove it
Me: prove it?
Him: yes kiss me
Me: we're not kids Amogelang you need to grow
up
Him: (laughing) I love you too wifey
Me: mxm
.
I got into my car and drove home or so I thought.
These past few months it has been tough, I doubt
my marriage will ever work. I got home and found
wearing his tux reminding me why I fell for him in
the first place. I remembered all the dates we
had and how happy we were compared to now.
.
Me: hi
Day: hi
Me: I bought dinner
Day: I'm not staying for dinner
Me: I can see going on a date
Day: its business
Me: okay, I can get dressed and go with you
Day: you have been up in your feet all day I'm
sure you're tired and you being tired means
putting my son's life in danger
Me: I know I'm sorry I even suggested that
Day: its okay. You eat and go to bed
Me: I hope one day we will have dinner together
.
He said nothing and went out the door. I had
dinner alone then went to sleep. I woke up and did
my daily routine. I checked on Facebook as usually
and on my newsfeed there were shared pictures
of Day and Shadow. They were labelled the best
dressed couple. I just put my phone away.
.
I decided not to put it at heart. I can't take my
personal issues to work because I work with
people and right now one mistake I'm out. I
continued eating breakfast but my mood was still
down and I didn't want to get to work with
zombie face. I pushed away my tears and took my
bag and went to work.
.
I started working the moment I got there. Turns
out nurse Jones saw the picture and I just knew
it was going to be the topic of today.
.
Jones: so you're just going to pretend like you did
not see that picture, people calling them the
hottest couple ever
Me: they are just friends
Jones: really did you even look at it they were
smiling I swear I saw her molars
Me: you need to relax to me its just a picture,
they have been friends since high school
Jones: did he even come home last night?
Me: he did
.
I was lying he didn't come back home and that
only means one thing mxm fuck why am I even
thinking about this shit.
.
Jones: and the way she's avoiding you shows
she's cooking something, next thing boom there's
a baby, they didn't even justify it and say we're
friends
Me: can we not talk about them
Jones: oh sorry
.
We carried on doing our rounds, I got in the
elevator with Shadow. She looked at me
embarrassed.
.
Shadow: ummh Olivia
Me: hi
Shadow: I can explain
Me: no… there's no need for that
Shadow: I can't tell them were just friends
because they will label me as side chick
Jones: mxm bitch please
Me: Calm down Shadow its okay really. What you
guys do at your spare time is none of my business.
I have a baby to think about not pictures on
facebook
Shadow: we are just friends it was his idea to go…
Me: again I don't care
.
It finally stopped and opened I walked out with
nurse Jones.
.
Jones: I can't believe you just let her go that
easily
Me: I don't fight for a man, let just do our jobs
Jones: I would have slapped…
Me: (pushing her forward) let's go
.
She laughed and we carried on checking patients
and attending other patients. Before I know it it
was time for me to go home, I went to my car in
the parking lot and without a doubt I saw Day's
car. I realised he was with Shadow and they were
kissing. I walked straight to my car and drove to
my favourite restaurant.
.
I decided to ate there today the waiter served
me and I just got pissed off.
.
Me: I said I wanted more chillies and I did not
order juice I said wine. I'm not paying for this
Her: but madame…
Manager: don't worry about it its on the house.
We want a healthy baby don't we?
.
I just lost words and just ate. Dionne the owner
knows me as a regular customer we have become
friends and I realised there are some things I'm
not allowed to order, like alcohol and oily food and
I really didn't have time to fight her as long as
there's ribs in my plate with her secret spice I'm
good.
.
Amo: Hey
Me: hi, you're stalking me noe
Amo: and its not even hard you always come here
after work
Me: (smiled) yeah
Amo: what's wrong?
Me: nothing
Amo: it pains me to see you sad
Me: and it pains me to see you in my face
Amo: (laughing) an independent woman doesn't cry
for a man
Me: (laughing) who said I'm crying
Amo: (sipping my juice) there we go a smile finally
you were as bitter as this juice
.
I laughed and the more I laughed I kind of felt
better we spoke about a lot of things but not
marriage. He told me about his kids and I was
really happy for him. He ordered too and we
talked more, loved the way he flirted I couldn't
stop laughing. It was getting late so I decided it
was time to go, he walked me to the car.
.
Me: thank you for cheering me up
Amo: (pointing elsewhere) what is that?
Me: (turning) what?
.
I saw nothing, turned back and got kissed. I
pushed him away.
.
Me: I can't, I'm married
Amo: I wish it was the same with him
Me: don't talk shit about my husband
Amo: I will wait for you. What happened on my
wedding day with Lihle was no coincidence, every
time I think of giving up on you I remember that
day and have hope of being together. It was a
sign I was marrying the wrong woman. Be careful
it doesn't happened on your wedding day because
I will be there that's if it even happens
Me: bye Amo
.
I got in my car and drove back home to an empty
house.
.

OLIVIA
.
I got home and went to bed. I was not exhaust I
turned trying to fall asleep but it was useless.
Hoping it was not too late I took my phone and
called mom.
.
Her: hello
Me: hi mom
Her: (smiling) hey honey how are you?
Me: I'm okay
Her: how is hubby?
Me: he's doing okay
Her: I saw a picture of…
Me: can I speak with Mayah I don't have enough
air to talk
Her: okay give me a second
Me: okay…
Mayah: hello mommy
Me: hey princess how are you?
Mayah: I'm good
Me: mommy misses you really bad
Mayah: (smiling) I miss you too. Come see me
soon, with daddy
Me: we will come sweet heart. What did you do at
school today
Mayah: we sang and dance
Me: wow can you sing for me
Mayah: (singing) I am special, special me, very
very special, very very special, special me
Me: (laughing) wow that that excellent. I'm proud
of you
Mayah: (smiling) I sing it to daddy every night
Me: no wonder he sleeps happy
Mayah: he says I sing like an angel
Me: yes you are. Mommy has to go now did your
homework?
Mayah: yes I crayoned a teddy bear in my book
Me: okay you go to bed now
Mayah: wait I want to pray
Me: okay
Mayah: dear lord we thank you for keeping us
safe throughout the whole day, without you we
are nothing. Help bring peace to our souls and
take away our worries and sorrows as we go to
sleep now we beg you to keep protecting us in
Jesus name I pray Amen
Me: (tearful) Amen
Mayah: goodnight mommy
Me: goodnight sweet heart
.
I hung up and finally went to sleep.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
As usually I woke up and got ready for work. Day
was not home again, I locked the door and went to
the garage and took my car and drove to work. I
got there early as usually for the staff meeting. I
made my way to Mr Milan's office and was
surprised to see everyone there and a cake.
.
Them: surprise!!!
Me: (shocked) oh my God what is this
Mr Milan: its your last day with us princess
Me: what but I just got back
Mr Milan: (smiling) you really love being a doctor
Jones: (hugging me) it was great working with you
Me: it was great working with all of you
Mr Milan: I hope to see you here soon as Doctor
Dibuseng
Me: (smiling) you bet I will. Thanks everyone
.
They all hugged me and gave me gifts and a
pictures with all the nurses and doctors was
taken. I was sure to frame it and put it in my
office. For once I forgot all my worries and was
happy. I opened the gifts and yep there was a lot
of baby stuff.
.
Me: baby stuff really guys?
Dr J: its more of a baby shower than a farewell
Dr R: but I got you a journal and a pen
Me: thank you Doctor I will put it to good use and
the rest I will call you change his diapers
.
They all laughed but it had to end soon with our
time being limited be had to check on patients.
Come to think of it I never saw Shadow at work
the whole day..
.
.
AT SHADOWS HOUSE
.
She looked once again the divorce papers and
guilt took over.
.
Shadow: do you really have to do this now?
Day: I'm tired of playing hide and seek. Loving
you in the dark has to end. You can't keep hiding
in the Shadow your whole life Samantha
Shadow: woah did you just call me by my real
name?
Day: (laughing) I love it
Shadow: well I don't
Day: anyway I tried saving my marriage but its
not working
Shadow: can't we wait for her to give both first,
I mean if she lost the baby I would never forgive
myself
Day: Olivia won't be surprised she already knows
about us. She just doesn't care
Shadow: (sighed) okay I hope there won't be
drama. The last thing I need is being attacked by
her
Day: it won't get to that relax
Shadow: okay
Day: now come here
.
He kissed her and laid her down pulling down her
panties and took out his machine positioning
himself and slowly slid in
.
Shadow: (frowning and pushing him back a bit) …
Jesus
.
He slowly banged her with half of his Machine…
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOME
.
She arrived home later with the present and all.
She found Day at home watching TV.
.
Olivia: hi
Day: hey
.
She made her way to her room.
.
Day: Olivia can we talk?
Olivia: okay
.
She put what she had down and sat next to him.
He gave her the papers and her facial expression
changed from being happy to sad.
.
Olivia: but…
Day: we tried to fix this but we failed its time we
accepted it
Olivia: I will sign them and set you free but under
two conditions
Day: (sighed) if you want half of my stuff then…
Olivia: listen to me
Day: okay
Olivia: I don't want your stuff. 1 I will sign after
I have given birth to Alpha and he is one week old
Day: okay
Olivia: 2 you have to take care of me till I give
birth like you did three months back and you have
to take me out to eat every night
Day: (sighed) but…
Olivia: its either that or no divorce
Day: fine
Olivia: we will start tomorrow
Day: fine
.
She got off the couch and took the papers with
her. He continued watching TV and sent a
message to Shadow
.
Day: we have to wait till she gives birth
Shadow: how did she take it
Day: I can't explain it now we will talk tomorrow
Shadow: okay goodnight I love you
Day: I love you too.
.
He put down the phone and got curious about
what was in the paper bags. He check and found
baby clothes, he smiled looking at them and
remembered he did not buy anything for his son.
"Yep we're going to shop tomorrow" he thought to
himself. He sat down and continued watching TV.
.

OLIVIA
.
I opened my eyes hoping to find breakfast
already prepared for me but the was no
breakfast. I took my phone and called him
.
Day: (sleepy) hello
Me: I want breakfast
Day: you always make yourself break…
.
I hung up and went to take a shower. When I got
out he was already in my room with my breakfast.
I smiled at him looking at how angry he was. I was
definitely working on his nerves.
.
Me: thank you
Day: you're welcome… ummh I was wondering if
we could go and buy baby stuff for Alpha it can
be after work if you want
Me: I'm done with my practicals
Day: oh that's good
Me: I know
Day: I have to go, I will come pick you up later
Me: okay, say hi to her
.
He said nothing and just walked away closing the
door behind him
.
Me: (eating) now this is real breakfast
.
He is a great cook no doubt about it and I am so
going to enjoy this.
.
.
AT SHADOW'S HOUSE
.
She was already dressed and ready for work when
Day walked in
.
Day: hey
Shadow: hi
Day: can we talk?
Shadow: I'm rushing to work
Day: babe don't do this
Shadow: do what its clear you guys will not
divorce
Day: we will after the baby is born, she said I
must take care of her now then after Alpha is
born she will sign its a sweet deal to me don't you
think?
Shadow: I'm not stupid Day can't you see she's
trying to fix your marriage by the time Alpha is
born I know you will tear those divorce papers.
Day: I won't you are the woman of my dreams
Shadow: (tearful) I love you and I don't know
what I would do if you left me again
Day: you don't have to worry about that cause
I'm not going anywhere
Shadow: okay
Day: I have to take her out for shopping, you
know Alpha needs clothes and diapers
Shadow: we can do that for him together
Day: but…
Shadow: it's fine if you want to do it with her. Go
ahead and play happy family that's her plan and …
Day: and?
Shadow: nothing
Day: tell me
Shadow: I realized your brother is in town
meeting up with her and being cozy
Day: you're lying
Shadow: I thought you would want to know that's
all. Again you're going to be a fool in their games
(taking her hand bag) please lock the door when
you leave
Day: we're not done talking
Shadow: I don't want to be late for work
.
She walked out and went to her car, Day ran
after her and stopped her before she could open
the car door.
.
Day: I'm sorry babe
Shadow: you don't have to be
Day: I don't want to hurt you because I love you
and your happiness means a lot to me
Shadow: (tearful) I'm scared of losing you
Day: you won't lose me ever again
.
He pushed her against the door and French
kissed her.
.
Day: (smiling) we're good?
Shadow: yes
Day: where's that beautiful smile?
Shadow: (smiling) I'm smiling
.
They laughed, she got in the car then drove off
to work.
.

OLIVIA
.
I normally got dressed in one of my dresses.
Waiting for Day to come pick me up. I was
nervous I won't lie but I just had to be calm. I
got a text from me saying he can't make it
because of work. I said okay, it didn't hurt much
since I knew he went straight to Shadows house
when he left here and she probably changed his
mind.
.
I did a little bit of cleaning and watched TV.
Called my daughter and got my spirit lifted up a
bit. I went out and did a little bit of shopping in
the mall and came back home. I bought DVDs of
pregnant women doing Yoga, I then got down and
worked with them. It was fun and I felt a bit
lighter, after I was done I went to take a shower
and put on more comfortable clothes. I texted
Day reminding him about our date night.
.
He didn't reply but he arrived shortly after.
.
Me: you made it
Day: yep let's go
Me: okay
.
I followed him to his car. He started the car and
drove to one of his favourite restaurants. I
ordered a lot of food while he just had juice
.
Me: aren't you going to order something like
food?
Day: I'm not hungry
Me: how was your day?
Day: good
Me: you really don't want to be here don't you?
Day: its what we agreed on
Me: hang in there in two months you won't have
to see this ugly face, you will be a free man and
marry the woman of your dreams
.
He said nothing and just looked away. I didn't
even finish eating, I just wanted to be out of
there. This carried on for about three weeks.
During dinner we went from talking less to not
talking at all, this was really taking its toll on him
and on me a bit because I didn't really care my
baby was my number one concern on the other
hand he had a girlfriend soon to be wife to please.
.
We left the restaurant not talking and made our
way to his car which was parked a bit far off
from the restaurant. We passed on a white guy he
was tall and a bit skinny he actually roughly
pushed me aside and it pissed Day off.
.
Him: out of my way bitch
Day: (angry) what's your problem dude?
Him: she should move out of the way this is not
her street
Day: don't you dare talk to my woman like that
Me: (pushing Day back) he's not worth it let's
just go please
.
He kind of calmed down and took my hand
.
Him: (yelling) yeah keep walking with your bitch
ass whale
Day: (turning back quickly) oh hell no he asked for
it!
Me: get him
.
He punched him on his face and the guy took out
a knife. He swayed it at Day and it cut his face.
He caught his hand the one that had the knife
twisted it till I heard a popping sound the guy
screamed and Day covered his mouth, dragging
him where people could not see us in the dark. He
held back his arms and looked at me as I stood
there frozen.
.
Day: don't just stand there come and hit it, teach
him a lesson he will never forget
Me: but…
Day: Olivia do as I say or I swear I'm going to
fuck your ass when we get home cause I don't
want to poke the baby
.
It's either my ass or him, geez this is not even
something to think about its him. I punched him
on his stomach countless time and he kept
coughing
.
Day: you can surely do better than this, he's the
reason we're getting a divorce
.
Him saying that just made me more angry and I
hit him hard blaming him for everything, the
divorce, having fake friends, not being a good, you
name it. I ended it by kicking him in his nut.
.
Day: okay I think we should go now
Me: yeah is I hope he's not dead
Day: check him I'm not as doctor
.
I checked his impulse he was still alive.
.
Day: let's go
me: yeah great idea
Day: (sighed) I'm glad we got that out
me: poor guy had to be our stress reliever
.
he smiled and we hurried to our car and drove out
.

OLIVIA
.
we got back home and I realized my hand was
swollen and a bit too painful.
.
Day: we need to get that cleaned
Me: I will be fine. I just need to take a bath
Day: okay
.
I went to my room and took off the bloody
clothes. I filled the tub fixing myself a bubble
bath. I got in and relaxed looking at my tummy
popping out of the bubbles and witnessing little
kicks. Day walked and sat on the toilet seat
enjoying the view.
.
Me: this is suppose to be private
Day: (laughing) there's nothing I haven't seen so
far
Me: (laughing) don't you think we will get
arrested?
Day: then its simple he attacked you and be
fought back it was self defense
Me: (smiling) I hope he's okay, were you really
going to fuck my ass?
Day: no (laughing) I doubt you would handle it
Me: you're right
.
He kneeled down and put his hand in the water
and rubbed my belly.
.
Day: I think its time we spoke
Me: okay
Day: I really loved you from the first day we met
till the day insecurities about you and my brother
started kicking in. I know you want to fix things
but at this point I don't see us fixing things but
that doesn't mean I don't love and care about
you. I would kill any bastered that tried to hurt
you and our children
Me: oh
Day: I can't be with you because I will always be
insecure in our relationship. I know its stupid and
lame but at least I'm enough to admit it and I
know if I carry on being with you, we might fight
almost everyday which is not good for our kids. If
you love my brother its okay
Me: I don't love…
Day: I'm not done, if you love him you can be with
him. I don't want my kids calling him their father.
Mayah and Alpha are mine and they will grow up
knowing that
Me: okay
Day: we can continue on what we agreed on but I
want you to know Shadow is still the woman I love
and want to marry. We had our chance now we
should let go
Me: (tearful) I understand
Day: please don't cry
Me: I'm not, I'm okay
Day: I will always protect you and the children
Me: I know and thank you for putting up with me
all those years
Day: it was worth it
Me: I signed them, you can take them in the left
drawer
Day: okay thank you. Your hand?
Me: I will be okay. I'm going to dry myself and go
to bed now
Day: okay I should get going as well
Me: bye
Day: bye
.
I swallowed the painful lump on my neck and laid
back relaxing and pushing away my tears.
.
Me: (tearful) you will be okay Olivia, you will pull
through just like you always do
.
I drowned myself for a moment and just wish I
could take it all back but it was already late now
the only thing I can do is move forward. I got out
and grabbed my towel to wipe myself.
.
.
AT SHADOW'S HOUSE
.
Day arrived home and found Shadow waiting for
him. She stood up the moment she saw him. Her
sad face made him weak and he was happy today
he was going to put a smile on her face. The
woman that really loved him, the woman that has
always put him first and the woman that has
always been faithful to him.
.
Day: hey
Shadow: (hugging him) hi, it has been a long day
Day: I know I'm sorry you know we have to do
whatever she says
Shadow: I know how is the baby
Day: (smiling) he kicks a lot which is great but I
have good news
Shadow: okay
Day: I spoke to her and told her how I feel about
us. I sat the record straight and she gave me the
papers signed
Shadow: (happy) oh my God are you for real?
Day: (giving them to her) yes, I'm not confused
Shadow I love you and you make me happy. Its
time I did something that makes me happy
Shadow: (looking at them) oh my I didn't think
this would happen
Day: now can you marry me?
Shadow: yes… yes I will marry you
.
He lifted her up excited and ran around the
house happy. They kissed for a moment and held
on to each other tight.
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
OLIVIA
.
I woke up rather slow today. I didn't feel like
eating but I knew I needed to get some air. I
went out to take a boat trip, I regretted it the
moment it took off. This is the very same boat
Day took me out on our first date. The day I will
never forget. So much memories of him taking me
out and loving me as his wife. So many moments I
never really appreciated.
.
Amo: hey
Me: hi
Amo: where's hubby
Me: he's with his girlfriend
Amo: (laughing) good sense of humor
.
He said looking at me but I just kept looking at
the water as cold air hit my face dry my tears.
.
Amo: you're serious about that?
Me: yes we have divorced
Amo: (trying to hug me) I'm sorry if you need a
shoulder to cry on…
Me: (politely pushing him away) thanks but I will
be okay. I'm going home to my mother and
daughter
Amo: I was serious about waiting
Me: don't wait for me. If you really care you
would leave me alone and let me be. I won't be
passed around like I'm some object
Amo: you know that's not true
Me: focus on yourself Amo. I'm going to do the
same
Amo: as you wish
.
I closed my eyes for a moment and just prayed.
.
Me: help me Lord get through this, help me
survive this for my children. Take away this
bitterness away from me. Help…
Man: excuse me miss can you take a picture of me
and my family?
Me: sure
.
I took his camera and captured a picture of him,
his wife and son.
.
We reach our destination I got off and went
home. Then packed my clothes and bought a
ticket to S.A for tomorrow.

.
AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
She was making breakfast for Mayah while Mayah
came from one of her rooms with Alpha. The way
he was heavy his feet were hanging low touching
the floor
.
Mayah: mom your doll woke up
Olivia: (putting down everything) oh my God
Mayah what did I say to you?
Mayah: that I should not pick him up
Olivia: you will drop him one day. He is not like
your dolls when he falls he cries and bleeds. He is
a real baby
Mayah: I'm sorry
Olivia: (taking him) how are you boy?
.
He wanted to cry then Olivia breast fed him.
.
Mayah: I also want to do that
Olivia: you did when you were a baby but you are a
big girl now you can't
Mayah: if did how come I don't remember?
Olivia: because old people lose their memory
Mayah: (frightened and tearful) I don't want to
forget you
Olivia: (smelled the burning food) God
.
She put down Alpha as he cried hysterically and
rushed to the kitchen. Mayah dragged him slowly
by his fit till he was at the edge of the couch
then put her hand underneath his head and body
pulling him up and resting his head on her
shoulder then holding his body tightly and moving
away from the couch.
.
Mayah: there there little boy don't cry the
wolves will eat you
.
Olivia threw away the burnt egg and turned off
the stove. Seeing Mayah holding Alpha made her
panic she quickly took him from her and put him
on her back
.
Olivia: go get me a towel
.
Mayah go her a towel she then properly
piggybacked Alpha and went to make Mayah food.
Shortly after her mother came back from the
shops
.
Her: hello family
Them: hello
Her: miss manager
Mayah: hello granny, where were you?
Her: I went to get diapers, honey won't you be
late for work
Olivia: I have 45 minutes. I will then drop Alpha
at daycare
Her: and Mayah's lunch box
Olivia: (putting it on her backpack) there we go
.
They heard a car hoot.
.
Mayah: (rushing to look outside the window) its
Yolanda's mom
Olivia: come get your backpack
.
She placed it on her back then walked her
outside. Olivia then took Yolanda
.
Olivia: thanks I will drop them off
Yaya: I'm glad you have my back
Olivia: okay bye
Yaya: bye
Mayah: bye
.
Olivia went back inside with Yolanda. Dudu took
her and smiled.
.
Her: she's beautiful man this girl
Olivia: I know, yoh
Yolanda: mama
Olivia: (laughing) and she calling you mom
Her: (laughing) now I feel young
.
They both laughed. Olivia put Alpha down next to
her mom and rushed to do final touches in her
bathroom. She then took the little ones with her
mothers help and put them in their car seats in
the car. Her mother got their diapers and loaded
them. She then joined her as she reversed out
and went to work along the way Day called her.
.
Olivia: put on loudspeaker
Her: okay
.
She put it on loudspeaker
.
Olivia: hello
Day: I prefer Mayah's dad
Olivia: (laughing) no way I will stick to my hello
Day: okay how are you?
Olivia: (smiling) the children are doing good, I'm
on my way to drop Alpha and your niece at
daycare
Day: that is great I want to know how are you?
Olivia: I'm good, why are you asking?
Day: if you're good then for sure the kids are
doing well
Olivia: well you don't have to worry about me
Day: okay
Olivia: okay bye
Day: wait…
Olivia: mmh
Day: I was hoping you can come with the kids
during the holidays
Olivia: that is highly impossible. I have a job
remember
Day: I'm sure you can take a break
Olivia: I'm afraid not
Day: so now you don't want to spend time with
your…
.
Dudu hung up and Olivia laughed
.
Her: he's just bored of his wife
Olivia: (laughing) ey this guy always guilt tripping
people to get what he wants
Her: I'm glad you ended things on a clean slate no
drama. I'm now proud to call you my daughter
Olivia: but I'm still struggling I want to bring
granny this side since you can't stay long and you
have other responsibilities back home
Her: that's a good idea, I hope she doesn't come
with chickens from home. You know old people you
will eat vegetables till you turn green
Olivia: (laughing) I will eat KFC behind doors
Her: (laughing) and the way they love cleaning you
would swear they are looking for something
Olivia: (laughing) mom you're scaring me now
Her: I'm sorry but jokes aside you have done well
for yourself. You have a house now and your little
car
Olivia: (laughing) after paying my for my furniture
I'm getting a new one. Second hands are such a
bore they always need to be fixed and that means
wasting more money
Her: I know, you can use mine so long
Olivia: okay thanks mom
.
They arrived at daycare and dropped off the
little ones.
.
Olivia: mom are you going to shop or…
Her: I going with you to the hospital I need to
get my heart checked out.
Olivia: okay
.
They drove to the hospital. She went to get
assisted by one of the doctors while Olivia was
directed to check on a patient admitted
yesterday after being stabbed four times on the
chest. She walked in and greeted who seemed to
be the wife
.
Olivia: morning
Her: (turning) mor… Olivia
Olivia: (shocked) Lihle, how are you?
Her: I'm fine you're a doctor?
Olivia: yeah
Her: its surprising after everything you've done
to me you are succeeding like no ones business
Olivia: I'm sorry I betrayed you but come on its
not like you loved him and I paid for my deeds. I
also got betrayed by a friend
Her: Sihle?
Olivia: no I met someone else in London and got
played along the way. I had a baby for him and he
went back to his ex. I felt sick I actually wanted
to die because I put my life on hold for him and it
got me no where. I should have been a doctor
three years ago but look at me. I'm now doing it
now after being so stupid for so many years
Her: (smiling) I glad you had it rough bitch
Olivia: (smiling) you're still crazy. Is this your
husband?
Her: yes
Olivia: what happened?
Her: he fell on top of a knife
Olivia: huh?
Her: okay I stabbed him but he was abusing me
look (showing her the bruises)
Olivia: but your story won't fool the po…
.
The police walked in and Olivia injected him.
.
Detect: Madame we would like to talk to you in
private
Olivia: I will give you space
Her: (crying) we got Hijacked…
.
Olivia closed the door and went to check other
patients, before she knew it it was lunch. She sat
down on her office looking at other patients files
when Amo walked him
.
Amo: hey friend
Olivia: hey buddy
Amo: lunch?
Olivia: as long as you're paying
Amo: (laughing) let's go

AT THE LOCAL RESTAURANT
.
Olivia and Amo were halfway through their
breakfast while talking about stuff.
.
Olivia: I did not see Chris with Yaya this morning
Amo: he was not feeling well so he was left with
granny
Olivia: I really like the way you guys are co-
parenting
Amo: I won't lie it wasn't easy at first since she
had a lot of anger towards me but I'm glad things
changed
Olivia: I wish I can say the same with your
brother
Amo: trouble in Paradise
Olivia: I don't know he still calls me for useless
stuff I don't get why he doesn't see that I don't
want to be close to him
Amo: afraid to fall for him again
Olivia: no I just don't want to be around him. He
suggested we go out for camping, me and Mayah.
I turned him down
Amo: I don't see anything wrong with it as long as
you don't love him
Olivia: I don't want him anywhere near me. He
ended things and that's that. He is just the
father of my kids
Amo: well he called me
Olivia: I'm glad you guys are talking
Amo: (laughing) all thanks to you.
Olivia: (laughing) I had to save my image brothers
not talking because of me it wouldn't be so nice
Amo: you're right I wanted to spend Christmas
with him
Olivia: and what did he say?
Amo: he has not given me a straight answer yet
Olivia: (looking at the time) my time is up
Amo: you go I will pay
Olivia: okay bye
Amo: bye
.
Olivia rushed to off to work. She got there and
was surprised to see her mother hugging Dr Ntusi
at the parking lot after kissing. He then waved at
Olivia while Dudu laughed embarrassed then he
went back. Dudu then went to Olivia
.
Olivia: (shocked) and your heart?
Her: (laughing) my heart is very white thank you
Olivia: yoh I take a break and you decide to start
Her: Mara he's hot you
Olivia: eww mom
Her: borrow me your car I will come pick you up
Olivia: I can't believe I gave you a ride to see
your boyfriend
Her: (laughing) the keys
.
She gave her the keys then she got in the car and
took off.
.
.
IN LONDON
.
DAY
.
I sat down at the dinner table while my wife
served me dinner after she was down she sat
down and we smiled to each other for a while. I
then took her hand and left a gentle kiss on them.
.
Shadow: so did you talk to her?
Me: yes
Shadow: and?
Me: you know Olivia she said no
Shadow: did you even ask her nicely?
Me: yes I did
Me: if she's going to to forbid us from seeing our
children we might have to take her to court
Me: its not that, I want her to come with them
here
.
She looked at me speechless then continued to
eat
.
Shadow: why would you want that?. Why would
you want to bring another woman in my house?
Me: not another woman but Olivia
Shadow: I can't believe you right now, you want
to bring her here when I have to go home and
take care of my mother
Me: babe I won't cheat on you if that's what you
think, I love you
Shadow: I know that but you might get tempted,
she has changed drastically
Me: that means nothing, I will even cancel the
trip to see my brother and my kids just so you
can be happy
Shadow: really?
Me: yes babe there's nothing more that can
masks me happy than to see you and the kids
happy
Shadow: fly them over then
Me: and your mom?
Shadow: I will hire a nurse for her
Me: (smiling) okay baby now can I get a kiss
.
She kissed me and gosh it was breath taking I
seem to fall more in love with her every single
day.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
she arrived home with her mother and children
after dropping off Yolanda. She sat down on the
couch relaxing with Alpha on her lap while Mayah
sat quietly on the other couch watching TV.
.
Olivia: what's wrong Mayah you have been quite
lately
Mayah: its nothing
Mom: are you hungry sweetie?
Mayah: no
Olivia: then what is wrong?
Mayah: (crying) I want my father
Olivia: come here sweetheart
.
She sat next to her hugging her mother while
Olivia brushed her hair.
.
Olivia: you will go see daddy soon okay
Mayah: I want to live with him forever
Olivia: (hurt) and what about mommy?
Mayah: you can live with your doll
Olivia: he's your baby brother. Why do you want
daddy?
Mayah: (crying) he tickles me and buy me ice
cream when I feel bad and he doesn't shout at
me for picking Alpha
Olivia: I'm sorry I shout at you…
Mayah: when is he coming to stay with us?
Olivia: baby daddy won't…
Mayah: why am I not Dibuseng like him and Alpha?
Mom: Mayah come to granny
.
She went to her while she was crying and for the
first time Olivia didn't know what to say to her
daughter. She called Day then he answered
.
Day: hey
Olivia: hi
Day: I'm sorry about what I said earlier
Olivia: its cool. I just wanted to ask you to come
here for the holidays
Day: I can't just fly the kids over like you
normally do
Olivia: we have to discuss something about Mayah
Day: is she sick?
Olivia: no
Day: I will call her in a few minutes I have to drop
my wife home
Olivia: okay
.
ONE WEEK LATER
.
.
.

#99
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
Micky's mom sat down looking at them as if they
were crazy. Mayah changing her surname to
Dibuseng was madness.
.
Olivia: you have to understand ma that we are
doing this to help her, she's young and confused
M's mom: and who's fault is that? Angisho you
were busy changing mean in front of her instead
of letting her stay with me or your mother
Dudu: there's no need for such words
M's mom: (angry) you don't tell me that, Mayah is
a Ngwenya not a Dibuseng. We did pay for
damages and for her to take our surname don't
play games with me
Dudu: we understand that but the child now feels
left out and discriminates from Alpha
M's mom: so you want to mislead her with a
surname that is not hers?, my granddaughter is
not and won't be a Dibuseng unless she's married
to that family. If you don't want her give her
back to me and I will gladly raise her
Olivia: my child isn't going anywhere
M's mom: and so is her surname, she's a Ngwenya
end of story
Dudu: I don't know what to say now
M's mom: you should have said something when
your daughter took my granddaughter to UK to go
whore around in front of her. The poor kid calls
everyone her father see how messed us she is
Dudu: call my daughter a whore one more time
And I will sew that with mouth
Olivia: and Mayah doesn't do that
M's mom: Mayah does not even know her real
father its such a shame
Dudu: that's enough
M's mom: I don't even know this man Mayah calls
father now. You and him divorced proving
something went wrong. He might hurt her just to
get to you
Olivia: he won't do that he loves her as his own
child
.
Theory heard a knock then Dudu went to open the
door and was surprised to see Day with his wife.
.
Dudu: Day what are you doing here?
Day: Amogelang told me about thee secret
meeting you're holding.
Dudu: you didn't have to come
Day: she's my daughter too, I thought we agreed
to tickle this together and now you're doing this
behind my back
Shadow: can we come in?
Dudu: come in
.
They both came in and Dudu led them to the living
room where the discussion was held. Olivia looked
away from Day's stare while Day sat down with
his wife by his side.
.
Dudu: Mr and Mrs Dibuseng this is Mrs Ngwenya,
Mayah's grandmother and Mayah's grandmother
this Day Dibuseng Mayah's stepfather with his
wife
Day: nice to finally meet you
M's mom: so you are the man that wants to make
my granddaughter yours
Day: you have to understand Mrs Ngwenya we are
doing this so sher can feel like she's part of the
family
M's mom: she can be part of " your family"
without changing her surname
Day: this thing of different surnames is affecting
her
M's mom: bring her home, you guys have divorced
I don't want my granddaughter to be in between
your battles
.
The discussion went on without any solution they
even suggested leaving it for another day till
Shadow stepped in.
.
Shadow: can I please say something
.
Olivia rolled her eyes "bitch please" she said to
herself
.
M's mom: we're listening
Shadow: its obvious that even if you leave this
for another day nothing will change. Mrs Ngwenya
wont agree to having you guys changing her
Mayah's surname because to her it feels like you
are stripping off her true and that is partly true
as much as you guys are trying to protect her you
are misleading her
M's mom: finally someone who understands
Shadow: Mayah is hound she doesn't need to
understand everything and us as her parents must
not protect her with lies that might affect her in
future. My husband loves her so much he calls her
everyday and they go out for trips she's his
daughter. I think right now as her parents we
should sit her down and explain to her that her
surname is Ngwenya for a reason. She might not
understand it now but sher will when she's older.
If we bring her real father into this right now it
might trigger the incident and we will then go
back to square one. My husband loves her that's
why he suggested this it pains him to see her sad
M's mom: (clapping hands) thank you you have said
enough
Dudu: she's right what do you think Olivia?
Olivia: (that bitch said "our" children twice WTF)
yeah
Day: (gently squeezing his wife's hand) you're
right
M's mom: I love the way you treat my angel and
you have my blessing to continue being her father
Day: thank you
Dudu: now that we have agreed to something let
me go dish for us
Olivia: I need the rest room
.
They nodded then Olivia followed her mother.
.
Olivia: (whispered) mom did you really have to call
them I thought we agreed that…
Dudu: Amo is the one that called his brother and
I'm glad he did because we managed to sort
everything out
Olivia: that bitch called my kids her kids mom
Dudu: Mara Olivia angisho they are Day's kids and
they are married so automatically they are hers
.
She went to the bathroom and looked the door
then called Amo.
.
Amo: hello
Olivia: traitor
Amo: come on I couldn't lie to him he's my big
bro
Olivia: I thought we were friends?
Amo: we are I'm sorry but how did it go?
Olivia: good
Amo: did she agree?
Olivia: no but we managed to agree on something.
Anyway bye
Amo: bye bubbles
Olivia: call me that one more time and I will cut
your balls
Amo: (laughing) bababa bubbles
.
She laughed and hung up. She went out of the
bathroom and met Shadow on her way to the
bathroom, she then stopped her pushing her
against the wall.
.
Olivia: listen here shadow miss good two shoes if
I here you saying "our kids our kids" one more
time I will show you flames ask your brother in
laws. Those are my kids not yours. I didn't carry
them for months for you, I didn't have labour
pains for you. Have your own kids oops I forgot
you're a barren I'm sorry at least you won't give
birth to more hoes
.
She let go of her and Shadow rushed to the
bathroom crying
.

.
.
The next day Shadow woke up moody it was one
of those days. She walked to the kitchen holding
her teddy bear and found Amo making breakfast
.
Amo: morning
Shadow: morning
Amo: (looking at her teddy) I see we cuddle with
teddies when hubby is not around
Shadow: (smiling) I just love it, it reminds me of
so many things its hard to let go
Amo: I hope its good memories
Shadow: both good and bad
Amo: please sit
.
She sat down and pulled her plate starting to eat.
.
Amo: are you okay? You seem down
Shadow: (feeling sharp pains on her abdomen) I'm
okay
Amo: are you sure because if its the way Olivia…
Shadow: I have stomach cramps
Amo: you should see a doctor
Shadow: no I'm used to them. I have them every
morning
.
"constant reminder of what I lost" she said to
herself and continued eating.
.
Amo: I can still take you to the doctor
Shadow: (politely) I will be okay and worry not
about what Olivia said to me I'm used to people
like her. She's such a drama Queen… oops I'm
sorry are you and her?
Amo: (laughing ) not yet but we're getting there
Shadow: I can't believe you're still waiting for
her
Amo: its called love
Shadow: don't let it abuse you
.
He said nothing as they continued to eat but
memories flooded Shadows mind.
.
Amo: what are you thinking about?
Shadow: huh?
Amo: what's on your mind?
Shadow: (sighed playing with her food) I read an
article last night online when I couldn't sleep
Amo: (chewing) oh what was it about?
Shadow: about a woman that was abused by her
ex boyfriend while she was pregnant
Amo: mxm I can't believe there are men like that
out there. I even fear for my daughter
Shadow: yep he stabbed her while she was
pregnant. She did fight him and he fell and lost
his memory
Amo: he should be locked up
Shadow: she did not open a case besides, there
was not enough evidence since she got into an
accident on her way to the hospital. Doctors said
there were no stab wounds. She got cut by a
metal object that was removed in the hospital
Amo: damn, Where the guy fell I'm sure they
would have found something and the driver that
took her to the hospital what happened to him?
Shadow: the driver died and she almost got killed
while she was in the hospital so she skipped the
country fearing for her life
Amo: I've never seen a story written in detail like
this (giving her his phone) can you search it for
me?
Shadow: (fake laugh) I don't know if I will find it
I was just scanning through the internet
Amo: open your phone and go to history then
Shadow: its pointless I clear my history every
morning
Amo: tough luck then it seems like an interesting
story
Shadow: yeah she can't have kids now. Its really
painful it must be hard for her
Amo: poor woman
Shadow: she seemed like the type that wants
revenge
Amo: you know what they say about revenge, if
you decide to do it you must dig two graves, for
your enemy and for you. She should just let go
Shadow: (with the way Olivia is up on my face I
will end up digging more graves than planned)
you're right but I don't blame her its hard
knowing that you will never have children ever
again. That you will never know how it feels like to
give birth, bath your baby and name him or her
and it's hard finding someone who can settle
down with a barren. Would you even marry one?
Amo: well…right now I would I already have 2
children, though I want more but I would
understand
Shadow: even so its hard for people like us. (Sad)
The mother of your kids try by all means to
belittle us, I got over excited about being in
Olivia's kids lives it was like a second chance of
being a mother. I never intended of replacing her.
I know it would be a dreadful thing having
someone else play your role but I just wanted to
love them like I would have loved my children
Amo: (sighed) Shadow…
Shadow: (her phone rang) Iet me take this its my
husband
.
She stood and went to answer her phone outside.
.
.
Later that day
.
Olivia, Day and the children came back home.
Olivia went to put baby Alpha in her room and Day
went to put his daughter in her room since she
was sleeping. Olivia came back to the living room
and found Day slicing pizza. She sat next to him
and took her piece
.
Olivia: thanks
Day: for?
Olivia: taking me and the little ones out
Day: I should be thanking you for taking time out
.
They both smiled at each other the awkwardly
looked away
.
Day: but I could tell you were not free, you were
not having much fun like the kids
Olivia: I did
Day: I know you
Olivia: I know I shouldn't be asking you this since
we are not married but can you tell me about your
dark past?
Day: (swallowed) I was an abuser that I know for
sure
Olivia: (swallowed) okay
Day: and I have anger issues but I try to control
them. I don't remember most incidents since I
suffered memory loss years ago. I went for
therapy and became a better man.
Olivia: did you apologize to your victims?
Day: I did at least to those who had opened cases
of assault. I don't know the rest
Olivia: and shadow?, did you abuse her
Day: I don't remember hurting her, she broke up
with me while I was in the army, I don't
remember much but I remember being told she
moved out of the country.
Olivia: oh
Day: I got so scared when I hurt you, I don't
want to be that monster ever again. It was hard
to believe I did that after so many years of doing
well and not being violent
Olivia: (holding his hand) at least you're doing
okay
Day: that's because I have people like you on my
side
Olivia: (laughing) mxm
Day: (pinching her cheek) you're beautiful its
hard to believe I lost you
.
Olivia blushed and looked the other way.

THE NEXT DAY
.
Olivia woke up and made breakfast and got ready
for work. Day woke up with the children. Mayah
sat on the couch eating her breakfast while Olivia
pumped milk for Alpha. Day admired her from a
distance
.
Olivia: (smiling) stop starring its rude
Day: (laughing softly) you do this everyday?
Olivia: yeah he enjoys this more than the
formulae
Day: I don't blame him
Olivia: since I'm leaving you with them, this will
really help with the crying.
Day: (looking at Alpha on his lap) he's a screamer?
Olivia: he can cry his lungs out that's all I can say
Day: let's hope I do well
Olivia: (wiping her breast and closing the full
bottle of milk) there we go
Day: say thank you mom
.
Alpha said nothing just looking at his father.
.
Olivia: so your wife doesn't have a problem with
you being here?
Day: she doesn't but I promised to take her out
for dinner tonight
Olivia: okay I just don't want to cause a fight
Day: (laughing) worry not, you're going to be late
for work
Olivia: you're right, Gosh where's mom, she's
usually up at this time
Mayah: she's not home
Olivia: huh?
Mayah: she went to see a doctor last night she
was sick
Olivia: oh okay, I should get going
Mayah: our kisses mom
Day: oh we get kisses?
Mayah: have a great day kiss
Day: (smiling) mmh exciting
Olivia: (laughing) its only for the little ones
Day: what?
.
Olivia went to then and leaned over and kissed
Mayah then went to kiss Alpha she then got a kiss
on her forehead from Day. She blushed moving
away from them and Alpha smiled
.
Mayah: daddy look he's smiling
Day: (laughing) that's because of Mommy's kiss
Olivia: (blushing) mxm
Day: why are you blushing
Olivia: I don't answer to you, (taking her hand
bag) bye everyone
Them: bye
.
She went out the door and went to the garage to
her car.
.
.
AT SHADOW'S ROOM.
.
she was eating chocolate when a call came in from
one of her friends.
.
Shadow: hello
Her: stop putting me in the dark Shadow, let's
just do it and get it over with
Shadow: you don't just kill someone and get away
with it besides I'm not in any of his will
Her: do something then
Shadow: I'm taking it slow so we can avoid fall
out besides I don't want him dead I want him to
see me spend the money he worked for carelessly
and just feel pain.
Her: I don't know about that, I mean he could
hunt us and kill us
Shadow: he won't relax, if he does I will…
Her: you will what?
Shadow: never mind
Her: stop keeping me in the dark
Shadow: be patient sweety just be patient
Her: damn it shadow
Shadow: (laughing) I will contact you when its
time
Her: make it soon
.
She hung up and carried on eating her sweets.
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S OFFICE
.
Olivia was sitting on her office thinking about the
kiss she got from Day and smiled on her own. She
got interrupted by a knock on the door.
.
Olivia: come in
Amo: (getting in) hey madame
Olivia: (smiling) hey
Amo: how are you?
Olivia: I'm okay
Amo: I missed you
Olivia: missed you too
Amo: so how is my brother?
Olivia: he's okay bonding with the kids, how is
step mom
Amo: she's doing okay but hurt by what you said
to her mothering your children
Olivia: I still stand by my word
Amo: and she has accepted that
Olivia: good
Amo: I hope you thanked her for saving Mayah
Olivia: she didn't need to be saved
Amo: for a smart woman you are actually a fool
Olivia: (packing away her files) I'm not a fool
Amo: you almost lost your little princess to
another man
Olivia: Day is like her father, her real father
Amo: so you're doing this just so you can spend
time with him and bond with your kids
Olivia: of course not come on
Amo: I bet Shadow did the same while you were
in the picture
Olivia: just shut up already
Amo: I'm sorry, I just…
Olivia: (tearful) I know I behaved like a bitch but
it pains me to know they play happy family with
my kids
Amo: (pulling her close for a hug) you have to let
go
Olivia: I know… umm can I ask you to do
something for me?
Amo: sure
Olivia: can you do a background search on your
brother its for my children's protection
Amo: worry not he got nothing bad
Olivia: nothing?
Amo: I did a research when you started seeing
him and found nothing he's clean
Olivia: wow
Amo: what?
Olivia: I thought he had a dark past
Amo: well he doesn't I was also shocked.
Olivia: wow, she was lying
Dr: (walked in) Doctor Mas... Oh sorry I didn't
know you were busy
Olivia: how can I help?
Dr: there's an emergency
Olivia: we will talk later, call Day and tell him I
will be late (looking at the doctor) let's go update
me
.
She walked out with the doctor while Amo called
his brother. Hours later Olivia knocked off and
went home. She was on her way to the house when
she saw Day and Shadow in a candlelight dinner
with the kids. The way they were laughing the
way they looked at each other. Shadow feeding
Alpha and the little kisses she gave to Mayah. It
broke her heart, it was suppose to be her on the
table with her husband. That was suppose to be
her little family.
.
She turned back got into her car and drove to
Amo's house. She knocked and Amo opened the
door, Olivia pushed him in kissing him. He kissed
her back and pushed her back
.
Amo: Olivia…
Olivia: don't …just fuck me
.
He kissed her taking off her clothes and lifted
her to the couch then #sealed
.
.
#103
.
.
.
Olivia woke up early in the morning while
Amogelang was asleep. She took her clothes and
sneaked out of the house. She got into her car
and got dressed then hit the road going home.
.
She arrived home and found Day waiting for her.
.
Day: so this is what you meant by saying you will
be later by few minutes?
Olivia: I don't have time for this
Day: where are you coming from at this time?
Olivia: its none of your business okay
Day: you don't even answer your phone when I call
you, what if something happened to Alpha?
Olivia: I'm sure you and your precious trophy wife
would have perfectly dealer with it.
Day: what?
Olivia: you heard isn't it that when I'm at work
you are busy playing happy family with my kids
Day: I promised to take her out for dinner you
know that too. I didn't want to break her heart
by breaking my promise
Olivia: you bring her here to eat my food and play
mommy trying to replace me
Day: first of all we ordered takeaways and she's
not trying to replace you I mean Mayah calls her
aunty not mom. Where are you being replaced
Olivia: I'm going to bed
Day: we're not done talking
Olivia: (walking to her room) I'm really tired I
need to sleep
.
Day followed her but she got in and locked the
door then throwing herself in the bed.
.
MEANWHILE
.
Amo woke up and looked for Olivia but she was
gone. He went to take a shower. He applied lotion
and got dressed and ready to go to the office. He
passed by Shadow who was making breakfast
.
Shadow: morning
Amo: hey morning when did you get here
Shadow: last night
Amo: last night?
Shadow: yeah and I found you and your doctor
cosy on the couch
Amo: (laughing) yeah,.. I'm sorry about that
Shadow: (laughing) its cool one thing I know for
sure is that the couch will never look the same
again. I don't see myself sitting on it
Amo: (laughing) I'm sorry
Shadow: its okay
Amo: I have to go to work
Shadow: no breakfast?
Amo: I'm okay
Shadow: okay bye
Amo: bye
.
He awkwardly walked out and went to work
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
She woke up and went to knock on her mother's
room but there was no answer she opened the
door to check on her and she was not there. Day
stood by the door while she looking for her
clothes
.
Day: she left yesterday
Olivia: that cant be she didn't tell me
Day: maybe she tried to call you like the rest of
us
Olivia: (sitting on the bed) I'm sorry about
yesterday and getting you worried
Day: (sighed) I'm sorry for being a control freak.
Most of the time I just want things to go my way
(walking in and sitting next to her) but they
always seem to fall apart
Olivia: I know
Day: I guess I fear you not paying attention to
Mayah and her little brother because of your
work but then I remember you do everything by
yourself when I'm not here meaning I have
nothing to worry about because my kids have a
super woman watching over them
Olivia: don't say that
Day: its the truth and I won't even sugar coat it
Olivia: but its hard
Day: I'm always one phone call away
Olivia: okay
Day: where were you last night?
Olivia: I came here then went to sleep at my
friends place. Her boyfriend came back to I
decided to come home
Day: okay I'm glad you're safe and always know
you're irreplaceable. Come here
.
He pulled her in for a hug, hearing him say those
words and feeling his heart beat just made her
happy. She hugged him tight while he kissed her
forehead playing with her hair. They broke the
hug holding hands and before they knew it they
were kissing. He pushed her down unbuttoning her
pyjama shirt and cupping her breasts she pushed
them away shly
.
Olivia: don't squeeze them… I don't want milk to
…
Day: (smiling) okay
.
He kissed her putting his hand on her pants
touching her wet cookie. Olivia held his
.
Olivia: I don't want to ….(closed her eyes as he
played with her bean) fuuuuuuck…. (Laying back)
Oh my ….
.
He leaned down and kissed her while playing with
her bean then fingering her putting two fingers,
he went for the third one and Olivia pretended to
be feeling pain and pushed his hand back with a
frown on her face
.
Day: you're so tight
Olivia: (moaned) yeah…
Day: I wanna taste you baby…
.
Olivia got off the bed quick hitting Day's
forehead.
.
Olivia: (her hand on her forehead) I'm sorry, this
is wrong
Day: I'm so…
.
She ran to her room while Day licked his fingers
then rubbing his forehead.
.
LATER AT OLIVIA'S OFFICE
.
She sat down during lunch and Amo walked in
without knocking and frightened her.
.
Amo: I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you
Olivia: learn to knock you almost gave a heart
attack
Amo: I'm sorry my lady
Olivia: how can I help you?
Amo: (noticing the bump on her forehead) what
happened?
Olivia: (hiding it with her hand) nothing
Amo: seriously
Olivia: I bumped on to something when I got home
last night
Amo: why did you leave early?
Olivia: the walk of shame is done early before
people wake up
Amo: (smiling) but you have nothing to be
ashamed of
Olivia: mxm what are you doing here?
Amo: I came to talk about us
Olivia: (closing her eyes as if she's in pain) damn

Amo: what what's wrong?
Olivia: Migraines…. Aaah!!!, I need to be alone
Amo: do you need water?
Olivia: mmh no let me go get myself pills

AT THE HOSPITAL
.
Olivia was talking to Jane while the elevator took
them to the third floor.
.
Olivia: did you happen to go my office
Jane: (smiling) why?
Olivia: (scratching her head) I left someone there
Jane: if you mean Amo he's still there
Olivia: (shocked) what?
Jane: (laughing) I'm joking he left hours ago, why
are you avoiding him?
Olivia: I had a one night stand with him
Jane: (laughing) you sneaky bitch where in the
office?
Olivia: (smiling) oh no I'm not that kinky I went to
his house last night and it was worth it, I almost
died of salt
Janee: (laughing) oh my word but it isn't safe
sleeping around
Olivia: we used a condom plus he's not a stranger
he's my ex and we have been buddies and we went
to test HIV together not long ago… gosh I can't
believe I'm telling you this
Jane: (laughing) that's the power of a good dick
Olivia: (laughing) it was glorious (thinking about
him) damn that man he's strokes just make me
want to go back for more, can't a girl just go wild
once I'm tired of crying
Jane: (taking out her bottle whiskey and sipping)
my husband should get tips
Olivia: (laughing) he should, you know its wrong to
drink at work
Jane: I know its just once off, we should go out
together I need time to breath from my marriage
Olivia: we can but not today, I have little ones at
home
Jane: (smiling) I hope we we hang out one day
Olivia: we will
.
The lift opened up and they walked out.
.
.
AT AMO'S OFFICE
.
Amo sat in his office chair laid back with his eyes
closed looking up. On his mind was what happened
yesterday. Touching her body again, feeling her
tightness and just losing himself feeling the
warmth of her cookie jar just made him
breathless. A lot of things in his mind about what
last night meant there's no doubt Olivia doesn't
want to talk about it but he wants answers.
.
PA: sir I need you to sign these papers
Amo: (snapped out of it) oh
.
He took his pen and signed. She then walked out
and we went back to replaying what happened last
night.
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
She arrived home and found her mom and her
grandmother she was so happy and went to hug
her greeting her.
.
Olivia: gogo I missed you
Her: I missed you too. I have to say this is a
beautiful house. You have done well for yourself
doctor Masina
Olivia: (laughing) thank you gogo. Thank you mom
for bring her here
Mom: she's going to be here for only a two days,
she needs to get her knees checked out. I'm
going back home now
Olivia: okay have a safe trip
Mom: okay bye everyone
Them: bye
Olivia: let me go prepare a room for you
Her: okay I will help you
.
They walked to the guest room then she closed
the door looking at Olivia who was a bit confused.
.
Her: why is there a married man in your house?
Olivia: he's the father of my kids he wants to
spend time with them
Her: and you let him do it here in your house,
what will his wife say?
Olivia: they were both suppose to stay here but
she decided to go to Amo's house
Her: this is wrong its against our culture
Olivia: hawu gogo we aren't doing anything he's
bonding with the kids that's all
Her: I hope you are right
Olivia: relax gogo man
.
She kept quite as Olivia prepared the room for
her. Later Olivia was in the kitchen preparing
dinner and Day offered to help.
.
Olivia: just cut those carrots for me please
Day: (cutting the carrots) I think your granny
doesn't like me
Olivia: don't take it personal she's like your mom
right now
Day: (laughing) oh payback I see
Olivia: you know how old people are anyway
Day: I hope we can get over our differences
Olivia: yeah I…
.
Her phone rang and it was Amogelang she turned
it off. Her grandmother came to the kitchen
shocked to see Day cutting veges
.
Her: what are you doing?
Day: helping Olivia
Her: this is a women's job
Olivia: but he was just helping me…
Her: a real man would be in the bathroom fixing
the toilet its not working
Olivia: not working?
Her: tell him to fix it
Day: okay I will go fix it
Olivia: you don't have to I will hire a plumber
Day: its okay I got this
Olivia: okay
.
Olivia's grandmother carried on cutting the veges
while Day went to the bathroom. He walked in and
saw the pile of yellow fieces in the toilet and
wanted to throw up plus the smell was unbearable.
He closed the toilet and opened the window, he
flushed it and everything seemed to be okay no
sounds of blockage. He closed his eyes and
opened it opening one eye to check the coast and
they were gone.
.
Day: old woman can't flush really?
.
He washed his hands then went out of the toilet.
They had already dished for everyone.
.
Day: all done
Her: ngempela?
Day: what?
Olivia: what was the problem?
Day: you should teach her to flush Olivia, even
Mayah knows how to do it
Olivia: she's just used to the pit. Granny you must
flush
Her: how is that done?
Olivia: I will teach you again
.
Day Joined them and the moment he saw pumpkin
it reminded him of what he saw.
.
Olivia: gogo loves pumpkin
Day: (sarcastically) trust me I know
.
Mayah prayed after they began eating but Day
just couldn't do it.
.
Mayah: dad is not eating
.
Granny just shook her head
.
Olivia: what's wrong?
Day: I have cramps in my stomach please excuse
me
Olivia: okay
.
He stood up and hurried off to his bedroom.
.
.
I'm sorry this insert is too explicit

AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
In the middle of the night Day couldn't sleep a
lot of things were on his mind. He didn't
understand what he felt for Olivia this the woman
he almost killed after thinking she was cheating.
He walked away because other than loving Shadow
he felt unappreciated, but he really loved her.
The moment he saw her he knew she was the one,
her innocent sad face and now they are separated
by a wall.
.
A lot of unspoken truth and he a man that finally
realises what he lost. Did he really love Shadow?
Even he doesn't know that now. He was living the
life he wanted, being around his family, his kids
and the woman he loved. He got off the bed
making his way to Olivia's room. He just wanted
to hug her and just sleep next to her like he used
to and feel her tiny body. He touched the door
handle about to open
.
Grandmother: what are you doing?
Day: (shocked) granny you're awake?
Grandmother: mmmh and where are you going?
Day: I needed pills from Olivia
Grandmother: at 02:00 ?
Day: the cramps are getting worse
Grandmother: well let us not wake her she has to
go to work tomorrow. Follow me
.
He followed her to her room. She went in and
came out with a bottle of pills.
.
Grandmother: painkillers
Day: thank you
.
He took two then made his way to his room.
.
Grandmother: close your door
.
He closed his door then laid back throwing away
the pills frustratedly. He he pulled the covers
over his head and went to sleep.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
AT AMOGELANG'S HOUSE
.
He woke up and went to make himself breakfast
while Shadow joined him
.
Amo: so when are you guys going back home?
Shadow: I don't know Day wants to spend time
with his kids
Amo: I thought he was going to stay over with
Olivia and the kids for camping only
Shadow: I know he just doesn't want to separate
with his kids. Talking about kids where's your son
and daughter?
Amo: I sent them to their grandparents back
home
Shadow: this place has become your second home
Amo: yeah I love it and I have so many businesses
I have to keep an eye on them
Shadow: I really miss home
Amo: you talk to hubby I'm sure he misses home
too
Shadow: (smiling) I doubt. So how are things
between you and Olivia?
Amo: how?
Shadow: you guys are dating right?
Amo: its complicated and we want to keep it
under wraps right now
Shadow: I understand
Amo: I have to go to work
Shadow: but you didn't touch your breakfast
Amo: I just lost my appetite
Shadow: is it something I said?
Amo: no I'm running late for work
Shadow: oh
.
He quickly took his bag and left for work.
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S OFFICE
.
She was looking at patients files when Mia walked
in.
.
Mia: hey
Olivia: (smiling) hey (remembered)
congratulations on getting your girls
Mia: thanks
Olivia: how can I help you?
Mia: I'm really worried about Jane he drinks

Amo: afternoon ladies
Them: afternoon
Mia: (giving Olivia the eyes) I have to go do you

Olivia: ummh…
Amo: no I'm taking her out for lunch

She got off the chair and walked out. Amo took
the chair and jerked the door so no one can get
in.
.
Olivia: Amogelang I have work to do
Amo: its lunch and you break for an hour
Olivia: still…
Amo: we need to talk
Olivia: I don't want to talk about that. It was
just sex
Amo: I have noticed that too
Olivia: (stood up) now that you know the truth
please leave
.
He walked to her and her heart pounded as he
closer, there was something about him that just
made her weak.
.
Olivia: you want to f**k me don't you?
.
He said nothing kneeling down and pulling down
her lace panties and putting them on his pocket.
He pulled down her skirt but Olivia held on tight
to eat.
.
Olivia: I can't
.
He didn't have to say much but to stare at her
and the skirt was down in a few seconds. He took
the pile of files down from the table and lifted
her up. Laying her down and spreading her legs,
playing with her bean while feeling her wetness.
She was wet just perfect. She looked at the evil
smile on his face and somehow she got more
excited knowing he made him feel that way. He
forcefully put on the condom on his manhood.
.
She smiled looking at him struggle she actually
wondered if he had a size in condoms but her
face changed in a few seconds from smiling to
frowning as he stretched his way in. The look on
her face pleased him, she felt him inside
.
He pulled her upper body up while thrusting her.
Their bodies in a hugging pose. She unbuttoned
his shirt and held on to him as he dug her deeply.
.
Amo: (whispering in her ear) who's digging this
hole?
Olivia: (mourning with her eyes closed) its
rightful owner
.
He smiled hearing that increasing his pace, she
felt her P muscles contract and her bean spasm.
He was good really good, she bit his shoulder
suppressing her involuntary screams as she
started to shake uncontrollably. Amo squeezed
her body tight on to his while they both cummed.
Her tears went down his back this man was just
too damn good she started doing kegals just to
feel him inside her the feeling she never wanted
to end. They looked at each other, he missed her
.
Amo: you might have started this but it won't end
till I say so
.
She closed her eyes and frenched kissed him.
They kissed as if there was no tomorrow
.
MEANWHILE
.
Day arrived at the hospital to get Gogo. He
decided yo to to Olivia's office thinking they
were probably together. He pushed the door but
it was closed.
.
Day: Olivia?
.
Olivia and Amo both looked at the door silently

AT OLIVIA'S OFFICE
.
Day tried to push the door open but the chair
played its part.
.
Day: Olivia!
.
Amo pulled away discarding the full condom. Olivia
quickly got dressed while Amo pulled up his pants
making his way to the door. Olivia quickly tip toed
stopping him from opening the door.
.
Olivia: (whispering) Amo don't
Amo: why not its not like you're dating him or are
you?
Olivia: I'm not but he could cause a scene
Amo: he's married
Olivia: and I'm a doctor if you guys fight I will
lose respect from my colleagues
Amo: fine only if you come over to my house
tonight
Olivia: what no way that witch lives with you
Amo: okay let me go open the door
Olivia: okay fine now just hide…
Amo: I'm not hiding from a married man
Olivia: (sighed) fine keep quite then
.
MEANWHILE
.
Gogo was accompanied by one of the nurses.
.
Gogo: there he is, hey son
Day: oh hello Gogo, nurse can I ask where's
Doctor Masina?
Nurse: its lunch time so she probably went out
will be back after (looking at her watch) 45
minutes
Day: oh okay
Gogo: let's go I don't want to stand all the day
Day: (smiling) let's go
.
Day and Gogo went to his car then he hit the
road.
.
Gogo: so we have to talk about you staying with
my granddaughter
Day: Olivia doesn't mind that I stay with her and
the kids
Gogo: what does your wife say about this?
Day: she doesn't mind
Gogo: do you love my granddaughter?
Day: I…
Gogo: I thought so too. You know Olivia is stupid
when it comes to love and you want to take
advantage now that she's successful
Day: I won't take advantage
Gogo: you had your chance with her accept that
your marriage failed. Mxm I don't even know
what's wrong with Olivia and the Dibuseng I now
believe we are cursed
.
Day said nothing and carried on driving.
.
.
AT AMO'S PLACE
.
shadow sat down continuing drinking her sorrows
away but she was going to take away everything
from him, she had long planned this. She took her
phone and called Day. He answered
.
Day: love
Shadow: hi we need to talk
Day: okay should I come over or what?
Shadow: yes you come over
Day: okay I will be there.
She hung up and waited for him few minutes later
he arrived and knocked on the door. Shadow
slowly walked to the door and opened. He could
smell alcohol and her eyes were red
.
Day: you have been drinking?
Shadow: don't ask something that is obvious
Day: okay
Shadow: come sit down
.
He followed her to the living room and sat down.
She went to her room and came back with
documents handing them over to him. They were
divorce papers.
.
Day: you want a divorce?
Shadow: yes and everything I wrote there
.
He read each page taking his time. He then put
down the paper and said.
.
Day: okay
Shadow: okay?
Day: yes you can have your divorce and all the
things you wrote there
Shadow: did you read properly?, I want your
house, your cars, one of your boats and 40%
shares in your exporting business.
Day: I know and I'm giving it to you
Shadow: like its nothing
Day: I don't want to fight you Samantha okay
Shadow: (angry) you don't feel anything
Day: its just money
Shadow: you don't fucken tell me that, that boat
is precious to you (pulling him by his clothes) you
have to feel pain.
Day: what is wrong with you are you crazy?
Shadow: would you stop stop pretending
Day: pretending?
Shadow: (hitting him) where is the beast I know
he's there let him come out
Day: (pushing her and walking away) I really don't
have time for this
Shadow: (yelling) you don't dare walk away when
you killed my babies
Day: killed what?
Shadow: I was four months pregnant and you yes
you Day October killed my babies. You jealous son
of a bitch and that witch you call a mother
threatened to kill me if I went to the police
Day: you're just drunk
Shadow: (crying) you killed them, you ruined
everything and yet you get to be happy and have
children while I'm damaged for good.
Day: stop lying okay
Shadow: you stabbed me on my stomach I will
never forget that never!
Day: you know what bye
.
He walked out and went to his car. She was crazy
why would he kill babies and did she get pregnant
when? He drove back home. Gogo was leaving
already he said goodbye with the kids. He then
got a text from Olivia saying she will come home
late. He played, bathed, fed and put the children
to bed but Alpha didn't want to sleep so he sat
with him in the living room watching TV. What
Shadow said ate him he ended up calling his mom
.
Her: hello
Day: mom please tell me what I did to Shadow I
want the whole truth please
Her: Day…
Day: please tell me before I go mad
Her: well you were dating her back then and you
were abusive at that time. You went to the army
then she dumped you and dated someone else and
ended up being pregnant. When you came back
you wanted to fix things but she wouldn't let you
so you kidnapped her and well stabbed her
Day: (tearful) oh my God
Her: you fell down the stairs and hit with your
head losing your memory
Day: and the accident?
Her: luckily she got in an accident on her way to
the hospital, destroying evidence
Day: (crying) I can't believe you just said luckily I
hurt her mom I took away something so special to
her. Something that cannot be easily replace,
something worth more than money and then you
just threaten her
Her: I did what I had to do as a mother
protecting my son
.
Day hung up crying his tears fell on Alpha, he
destroyed her it was his fault. Olivia came back
home and found him crying silently. She sat next
to him worried checking on Alpha he was
breathing thank God.
.
Olivia: what's wrong?
.
He just shook his head as tears fell. She hugged
him not knowing what to say or do.

AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
She woke up in the morning as her phone rang.
She answered without looking at the caller I'd
.
Olivia: hello
Amo: morning sleepy head
Olivia: hi
Amo: how did you sleep?
Olivia: I don't know, I came back home and found
the father of my children crying. I don't know
what's going on
Amo: maybe he's having problems with wifey. I
came back home and found her asleep on the
couch and my bottles of alcohol were empty
Olivia: I wonder what's going on?
Amo: I don't know (curiously taking the
documents on the table) seems like they are
getting divorced
Olivia: what are you joking?
Amo: no I have their divorce papers right here
Olivia: oh my God
Amo: how do you feel?
Olivia: what do you mean by that?
Amo: are you happy or sad?
Olivia: huh?
Amo: I want to know what this means to us, you
still haven't told me what you want between us
yet
Olivia: Amogelang I'm not looking for something
serious right now
Amo: so you're sleeping around not with me only
Olivia: you're the only guy I've slept with
Amo: (smiling) so you prefer this dick than any
other dick
Olivia: (smiling) I'm not going to discuss your dick
right now
Amo: (laughing) that's because you're already
having wild thoughts about it
Olivia: (laughing) shut up
Amo: Olivia
Olivia: Amo
Amo: I love you bubbles
Olivia: I… (thoughtful) I have to go
Amo: (disappointed) okay
.
She hung up and went to check on Alpha who I
was crying in his room. She found Day already
there changing his wet diaper, he was shirtless
and looked so yummy. Olivia hugged him from
behind smiling
.
Olivia: morning Daddy Day
Day: (smiling) morning mommy
Olivia: how do you feel today
Day: I don't know
.
It became silent for a while till he was done. He
turned around properly hugging Olivia.
.
Olivia: what's going on why are you guys
divorcing?
Day: that spark is not there
Olivia: I'm sure you can work things out
Day: I wish we could but we're done after
everything I've done to her I don't want to hurt
her further
Olivia: what happened?
Day: I had just found out I'm the cause of her
not having children
Olivia: what?
Day: yeah crazy right but its the truth its just
that I can't remember, she's hurting because of
me
.
He pulled away from the hug and took his son
looking at him then put him on his crib. Olivia bent
over looking at him smiling at her she felt Day's
boner as he hugged her from behind
.
Day: I miss you
Olivia: we can't do this
Day: why not?
Olivia: (turned around) because you're stressed. I
think you need time to sort yourself out, time to
go and apologise to her, time to accept what
happened and move on. So you can be a better
father to your children
Day: you're right
Olivia: you just need to heal. What happened,
happened we can't change that now
Day: I don't even know how I will face her
Olivia: just go and do it
Day: okay
Olivia: excuse me I have to get ready for work
now
Day: I'm really getting nothing? I thought baby
mamas let you have it anytime
Olivia: ,(smiling) well not this one
.
They laughed as she exited the room.
.
.
AT AMO'S HOUSE
.
Shadow woke up and found Amo watching TV. She
went to the kitchen to get head ache pills
.
Shadow: morning
Amo: good afternoon
Shadow: what time is it?
Amo: 13:00
Shadow: oh my God
.
Amo got off the couch and went to the kitchen
.
Amo: what's going on?
Shadow: nothing
Amo: I saw the divorce papers
Shadow: oh that
Amo: why are you divorcing?
Shadow: I don't owe you any explanation, people
divorce all the time
Amo: I thought you loved each other to death
Shadow: please leave me alone I need to lay down
.
Day knocked on the door and Mayah pushed it
open running to her uncle. Amo picked her up
smiling.
.
Amo: my girl
Mayah: uncle make me fly
.
He threw her in the air then catching her again.
She laughed in excitement
.
Day: hey bro
Amo: yeah bro, hello little guy (playing with
Alpha's cheeks then he smiled) now that is what I
call a gentleman's smile, charming all the ladies
like uncle
Day: (laughing) or daddy
Amo: come here boy
.
Amo took the kids and went outside. While Day
made his way to Shadow
.
Day: hi can we talk?
Shadow: say whatever you want to say and leave
Day: I called mom yesterday and she told me
everything and I'm truly sorry. I have hurt you, I
took something that cannot be replaced from you.
I don't expect you to forgive me now but I'm
sorry and you can have all the things you
demanded from the divorce.
Shadow: please just leave
Day: I'm so sorry Shadow
Shadow: (angry) I said leave!
.
He slowly walked out and went to his brother. She
went to her room in tears. She took her phone
and called her friend
.
Her: yes
Shadow: (crying) he doesn't feel anything, he
doesn't care about money. He just gave me what
I wrote there like its nothing
Her: at least its something. When are we sharing?
Shadow: we're not done, I want him to die a slow
painful death. I want him to feel the pain I feel
everyday whenever I see twins. The pain I feel
knowing I won't have kids and that I will always
be labelled as a barren
Her: this will get us into trouble, I mean we will
get nothing you guys have divorced
Shadow: he did not sign so if I get rid of him now
most if his riches are mine. You will get more than
what you desired
Her: okay I'm in
Shadow: let me start planning things out, we're
back to the original plan. Anyone on my way gets
removed
Her: finally the old Shadow is back
Shadow: (smiling) see you soon bitch
.
She hung up taking her diary

ONE MONTH LATER
.
Day parked his car and waited for Mayah. She
came out of the running excitedly and behind her
was Olivia carrying Alpha. He got out and lifted
her up swing her in the air
.
Day: (laughing) you're getting heavier
Mayah: (smiling) I'm becoming a big girl
Day: soon you're going to be taller than me
Mayah: (laughing) I want to be tall like mommy
Day: why not daddy?
Mayah: (giggled) nothing
Olivia: hey
Day: hey beautiful
Olivia: how are you?
Day: never been better can I have my champ?
Olivia: okay
.
He took Alpha playing with his chubby chicks.
.
Olivia: where are you taking them?
Day: that's for me to know and for them to find
out
Olivia: (laughing) don't get lost this is south
Africa
Mayah: don't worry dad can read the map
Olivia: okay let me get Alpha's bag
Day: you do that
.
Day put Alpha on his seat while Olivia went to get
his bag. She then sat Mayah down and fasten her
seatbelt. Olivia came back with the bag and gave
it to Day. He loaded it at the boot.
.
Olivia: so how is the divorce coming along?
Day: I'm still attending court
Olivia: but she wanted it first why fight you now?
Day: I don't know and its really tiring. Now my
dirty laundry is on the papers. I came here to
spend time with my kids just to take my mind off
things
Olivia: you can come stay here where are your
suitcases?
Day: I will stay in a hotel, I don't want you to be
blamed for my divorce. I feel like she even hired
someone to spy on me
Olivia: but what you gave her is enough
Day: she wants everything or no divorce but I
feel there's more to it than this. Shadow is not
materialistic something is just off
Olivia: (sighed) I wish I could help
Day: (smiled) its okay I got the best lawyers. It
will pass
Mayah: (screaming) daddy let's go!
.
The notice startled little Alpha then he began
crying. Day attended him after he had calmed
down they hit the road. Olivia went back inside
her house. Amogelang arrived she looked out the
window and saw him, she went to open the door.
He came in with a bottle of wine and chocolate,
placed them on top of the table then kissed and
hugged him.
.
Olivia: I told you to always call before you come
here
Amo: you know I don't think when I miss you
Olivia: I'm busy as you can see I was about to do
the dishes
Amo: they can wait
Olivia: Amo no
.
He carried her to living room and played soft
music. He went to the kitchen and got the box of
chocolate and the bottle of wife with glasses. He
put down the glasses and opened it while Olivia
opened the box of chocolates putting one on her
mouth and letting it melt. She closed her eyes
enjoying it, while sat next to her smiling and
pouring wine in their glasses.
.
Amo: babe
Olivia: oh thanks
.
She inhaled the scent took a sip then put her
glass of wine on the table. She laid down on Amo's
chest hearing his heart beat.
.
Amo: where are the kids?
Olivia: they went out with daddy
Amo: he's in town?
Olivia: yes
Amo: okay. I need to talk to him later
Olivia: about?
Amo: brotherly stuff
Olivia: mxm
.
He slowly lifted Olivia up then she sat up straight
facing him. She looked away blushing because of
the way he was starring at her.
.
Amo: look at me
Olivia: no
Amo: please
.
She looked at him then he leaned over and kissed
her. They kissed passionately and broke their kiss
as they felt breathless.
.
Amo: I'm here to talk about us
Olivia: Amo
Amo: I love you and I know you love me too. You
don't want women around me and you act all weird
when I'm around you. You kiss me randomly
specially when we fuck. You cry…
Olivia: I don't want to talk about this
Amo: what are we Olivia, we finally have nothing
stopping us from being together and you just push
me away
Olivia: I don't want to be in a relationship okay, I
already have two kids from different father's I
don't want to add more. I want to settle down yes
but no more kids. Do you agree to that?
Amo: come on Olivia..
Olivia: see I'd rather be single and have a fuck
buddy that have 6 kids from different man.
Amo: but I will marry you and you don't have to
worry about that
Olivia: I had Alpha while I was married so please
marriage guarantees nothing. You can leave
whenever you want and I will left to pick up the
pieces
Amo: okay can we at least try , I won't force you
to do anything you don't want
Olivia: okay
Amo: (sighed) thank you…
.
.
AT THE MALL.
.
Day was shopping toys for his little ones when
Mayah ran to another little girl. They had a little
chat then Mayah took her hand to show her other
dolls. Day quickly followed them and bumped onto
a beautiful woman.
.
Day: hi
Her: hi, Tasha come
Tasha: I want to play

Her: they are yours?
Day: yes, are you a single mom?
Her: yeah, they look gorgeous specially this little

Her: (pushing her trolley away) I have to quickly

Day: okay wait I didn't get your name
Her: its Sihle!
.
She said as she went to one of the lines.
.
Mayah: daddy I want a teddy

Day carried on doing his shopping hoping to see
her but she was no where to be seen.
.
LATER THAT DAY

Sihle got back in the hotel tired she laid on the

Sihle laid back on the bed as her phone vibrated,
she took it and went to answer it outside on the
balcony.
.
Sihle: hello
Sinazo: hey are you home yet?
Sihle: no I'm still in JHB
Sinazo: having second thoughts about letting
Tasha see Granny?
Sihle: yeah, kind of mom will ask so many
questions and the moment she knows Tasha is
Amogelang's she will brag to the community
Sinazo: (laughing) come on its not a bad thing
Sihle: are you kidding me? Amo will kill me if he
finds out I kept his daughter away from him
Sinazo: he will do worse if you keep hiding her
Sihle: I really thought I could do it but now I
cant, specially when I saw a guy that looked
exactly like him while shopping except he was a
bit bigger than him. I have 10 mini strokes
praying its not him
Sinazo: you dodged a bullet
Sihle: yeah and somehow they share a surname,
they might be brothers and if they are Amo has a
kid that looks like Tashata
Sinazo: is he hot?
Sihle: (laughing) girl the Dibuseng man are fire, I
just got wet from a conversation that was not
even that dirty
Sinazo: and down there?
Sihle: girl its in the genes I'm sure there's a
large eggplant between those legs if he's the
older brother its extra large
.
In Sinazo's background Sihle heard kid asking for
food. Her heart pounded.
.
Sinazo: go to daddy okay… hello?
Sihle: I'm here how are the little ones?
Sinazo: they are doing good just missing their
sister, I can never thank you enough for what you
have done for me and my husband. Thank you so

have afforded raising all three of them
Sinazo: still thank you. Its great being called a
mom.
Sihle: yeah I have to go
Sinazo: yeah bye
Sihle: bye
.
She hung up and went back inside. Tasha was still
sound asleep, she took a picture of her then sat
down opening her laptop.
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
She wrapped herself in a towel and went to the
bathroom brushing her teeth. Amo walked out of
the shower wrapped in a towel he stood behind
her with his hands on her waist. He kissed her
neck and stared at their reflections on the mirror
.
Amo: I love you
Olivia: I love you too
Amo: (turned her around) can you come with me?
Olivia: you know I can't
Amo: (smiling) just trying my luck
Olivia: when will you come back?
Amo: after two weeks

Amo: (serious face)
Olivia: (shyly looking down) oh sorry
Amo: I love you and I waited to long to finally

Day: aren't you going to hug mommy?
Mayah: I need to see Mr teddy
Olivia: (laughing) can I have my Alpha?
Day: there we go

She took her to arms, he was a bit heavier.
.
Olivia: you're gone for a day and you're heavy
Day: (laughing) that's because he was with his
father
Olivia: (laughing) I'm sure he fed you everything

Day: I see my brother was here
Olivia: (looking away) yeah
Day: you guys are…?
Olivia: yes is there a problem?
Day: he's my brother
Olivia: you set me free remember?
Day: I was protecting you from myself
Olivia: well now I'm doubling the protection
Day: wow
Olivia: I'm sorry that came out wrong
Day: its okay, I have no right to tell you who to

Olivia: I'm just going to go and lie down okay
Day: okay
.
Olivia stood up and went to her room with Alpha
while Day remained watching TV. Few hours later
he went to check on Mayah and found her
sleeping on the floor next to her teddy. He picked
her up and laid her on the bed then passed
Olivia's room she was sleeping peaceful with
Alpha. He got in and took a picture then went to
the living room.
.
He posted it on Facebook caption " moments that
are worth more than gold". He then went out and
got into his car as his phone rang.
.
Day: Dibuseng

AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
She woke up hearing Alpha cry. She took him and
went to the kitchen going to get his bottle.
.
Olivia: shit Mayah
.
He remembered and rushed to her room. She
panicked the moment she realised she was not
there.
.
Olivia: (shaking tearful) no no this is not
happening… MAYAH! MAYAH
.
She screamed hoping to get a response but there
was none. She rushed out all together with Alpha
who was also crying his lungs out and went to the
neighbours.
.
Olivia: (tearful) Mrs Nkosi did you see Mayah?
Her: she was playing in the yard a few minutes
ago
Olivia: (crying) I can't find her, I can't find my
daughter… oh God help me
Her: calm down
Olivia: oh my God Day will kill me, I have to find
her
.
Not knowing what to do she put Alpha down and
picked him up again. She walked out of her yard
barefooted. She couldn't think straight as her
neighbour rushed out to her. She walked pass a
car that stopped
.
Mayah: (excited) here's mommy, mommy where
are you going?
.
She kept walking in her own world she couldn't
even hear her daughter but she was going to look
for her. The thought of her being kidnapped,
raped and brutally tortured made her lose it.
What happened to her came back maybe she took
the route she took when she had her.
.
Neighbour: Olivia there she is
Olivia: (crying) they will hurt her, they will hurt
my daughter
Neighbour: (taking Alpha by force) you will hurt
Alpha
.
The man in the car stepped out rushing to her. He
grabbed her arms back as the neighbour slapped
Olivia. She finally snapped out of it, Mayah was
holding on to the neighbour frightened.
.
Neighbour: there she is, now stop worrying
Man: I found her few miles from here
Olivia: Mayah
Mayah: ma
Olivia: what did I say about leaving the yard
without my permission?
.
She kept quite holding on to the neighbour. The
man let go of her
.
Man: relax Olivia…
.
Olivia grabbed Mayah and spanked her hard on
her butt till she cried.
Man: that's enough
Olivia: you don't tell me a damn thing this is my
kid
Man: but….
Olivia: (spanking her) never leave the house
without my permission, do you know how
worried I was? Do you know what they would
do to you out there huh?
Mayah: (crying) I'm sorry
Olivia: go in your room right now before I count
to three 1…
.
She ran quickly into the house.
.
Man: that was unnecessary
Olivia: shouldn't you be at work Zach?
Zach: you said you will need a lift since your car is
being serviced
Neighbour: here's your boy
Olivia: (breast feeding him) I forgot (sighed) I
don't even know who I will leave the kids with Day
is not back yet
Zach: my mom
Olivia: what about her?
Zach: she loves kids I'm sure she won't mind
Olivia: are you sure?
Zach: yes we have to be at work in 20 minutes
Olivia: please help me so I can be fast
Zach: okay what must I do
Olivia: I need to bath them
Zach: not enough time pack their pyjamas mom
will do the rest
.
She rushed back with Zach following her. She put
everything Alpha will need in his baby bag then
packed pyjamas for Mayah.
.
Olivia: you will be going to granny Zwane behave
okay?
.
Mayah looked at her without saying a word. She
took her two favourite teddies and went out the
door
.
Olivia: hey little girl where are those teddies
going?
Mayah: they are mine I'm leaving with them
Olivia: put them down now, for misbehaving you're
not playing with any of them for a week
Mayah: (crying) mommy don't
.
She cried while Olivia went out with them to her
room. She went to the bathroom and quickly
freshen up. Alpha was with Zach the entire time.
Mayah sat down on the couch holding her big
bump
.
Zach: Mayah honey what's on your stomach?
Mayah: nothing
Zach: (smiling) I'm sure mommy will see that
teddy
Mayah: I don't want to leave it
Zach: okay give it to me
Mayah: no
Zach: I won't show it to her, you will go with it to
granny
.
She smiled giving it to him. He opened the bag
and stuffed it in.
.
Zach: sit on it so I can close the bag
Mayah: (giggling sitting on it) close close close
.
When Olivia was done one of the teddies were
missing, she really didn't have time she walked
out
.
Olivia: let's go doctor
.
They hurried out and went to his double cap. They
drove off and stopped at his mother's. She didn't
mind babysitting the little ones. They then drove
to work.
.
Zach: you should call their father and let him
know where they are
Olivia: you're right
.
Taking her phone, she found a message from Day
stating he won't be able to babysit hours ago
.
Olivia: he sent me as message hours ago I'm only
seeing it now
Zach: (laughing) night shifts taking its toll
Olivia: yeah my sleeping patterns are not good
Zach: you will be okay
Olivia: thanks for taking my daughter home I was
freaking out
Zach: I'm glad I could help. Just don't be too
harsh on her next time
Olivia: okay
Zach: so are you free this weekend?
Olivia: why?
Zach: I'm attending a wedding and I don't have a
partner
Olivia: oh bad idea…
Zach: come on you owe me a favour. My mom is
babysitting for you as we speak
Olivia: fine then but she has to babysit again
Zach: (excited) she can do that
Olivia: okay deal
.
They smiled and listened to music till they arrived
at work.
.
Olivia: let's save lives doctor Z
Zach: let's save lives doctor M
.
They both laughed entering the hospital premises.

AT THE HOSPITAL
.
Olivia was on break, she decided to call Zach's
mom to check on her kids again.
.
Her: hello
Olivia: hello Mrs Zwane its me
Her: haw Olivia you don't have to call every five
minutes
Olivia: I'm sorry, I just…. I don't want them to
trouble you
Her: they are behaved pretty well. You taught
them well and they are sleeping now
Olivia: (looking at the time) oh I'm sorry to wake
you up
Her: its okay goodnight
Olivia: goodnight
.
She hung up and sighed putting down her phone,
she got a call from Amogelang.
.
Olivia: hey
Amo: hey how are you?
Olivia: despite freaking out earlier when Mayan
decided to disappear I'm okay
Amo: did you find her?
Olivia: yes my friend Zach found him on his way
to my house. I was scared I couldn't even think
straight
Amo: you should always check on her
Olivia: I over slept I was really tired
Amo: that's why you should always lock the door
Olivia: I don't know how she got out but I gave
her some spankings
Amo: Olivia come on
Olivia: she has to be discipline. Kids get kidnapped
nowadays, they get raped I don't want to let this
slide.
Amo: okay super mom
Olivia: (laughing) anyway why aren't you sleeping?
Amo: I miss you
Olivia: (smiling) I miss you too
Amo: I saw a pic my brother posted
Olivia: picture of?
Amo: you sleeping with Alpha
Olivia: really?
Amo: yep
Olivia: I didn't see it
Amo: I just don't like the way he invades your
privacy. You two broke up a long time ago but you
are behaving like you are married. I get that you
have kids together but really Olivia
Olivia: hawu Amo its not like I can leave the kids
at the gate so he can take them. He's not from
here and the idea of them being in a hotel a busy
place doesn't sit well with me. Yes he is a great
father he can watch over them but still…. Plus he
baby sits for me when I go to work. When he's
here everything becomes easy
Amo: maybe you should get a babysitter now
Olivia: I don't like having a stranger taking care
of my kids. I want to take care of them myself.
Amo: well you're struggling to do that, for now its
pictures what is next? Think of my feelings
Olivia: I am
Amo: would you like it if Ayanda or Lihle did all
that
Olivia: its different
Amo: okay if you say so goodnight
Olivia: say it proper
Amo: proper how?
Olivia: I can feel you're angry. There's nothing
happening between me and your brother he knows
I love you
Amo: you told him?
Olivia: yes and he doesn't have a problem I'm
yours pictures mean nothing
Amo: (sighed) I love you
Olivia: (smiling) there we go I love you too
goodnight
Amo: (smiling) goodnight
.
She hung up and took her file going to her next
patient. She saw Jane talking to one of the
nurses and went to her
.
Jane: make sure he has his painkillers the moment
he wakes up
Nurse: okay Doctor (walking away) doctor Masina
Olivia: hello (looking at Jane) hey
Jane: hi
Olivia: you have been scarce lately
Jane: been busy
Olivia: I miss you
Jane: I have a lot going on right now
Olivia: then tell me maybe I can help you
Jane: I wish you could but…
Olivia: Jane
Jane: (tearful) we have divorced
Olivia: oh my I'm sorry
Jane: we finalised it yesterday and it hurt so bad.
That man was my everything
Olivia: (hugging her) I'm sorry you will be okay.
Divorce doesn't mean the end of the world things
were just not meant to be
Jane: I just feel hopeless. I even sent my
daughter to mom I'm not coping
Olivia: you have to let it all out okay. That's what
friends are for to hold your hand when you feel
lonely and to be your shoulder to cry on
Jane: okay
Olivia: you will be okay
.
.
AT THE HOTEL
.
Day searched for Sihle but it was a useless
search there we so many "Ceehle's". He was really
curious to know about her daughter. Something
doesn't feel right
.
Day: who are you?
.
His phone rang then he answered.
.
Day: bro
Amo: bro
Day: what's up?
Amo: about the picture
Day: don't you go all bitchy on me over a picture
Amo: (laughing) I just want to know if its pay
back?
Day: (laughing) I'm too old for that. I was
admiring the mother of my children bonding with
our son
Amo: okay
Day: if I wanted her back I would have had her
already
Amo: is that a threat?
Day: (laughing) no bro anyway I have to go
Amo: take care
Day: of Olivia?
Amo: (laughing) bro
Day: (laughing) I'm just playing with you little
buddy
Amo: I'm not little
Day: you are little bro you are. That's why I
understand you like playing with big brother's
toys
Amo: fuck you
Day: (laughing) goodnight
.
He hung up and put his phone aside.
.
.
THE NEXT DAY
.
Zach and Olivia knocked off. They got into the
car and drove home.
.
Zach: tired?
Olivia: I just want to sleep
Zach: (laughing) a mom of two wanting to sleep
Olivia: (laughing opening her energy drink) I
depend on these
Zach: (heart pounding) you know ever since you
started working with us on the hospital, I've seen
nothing but a beautiful dedicated doctor
Olivia: mmh?
Zach: what I'm trying to say is you're sexy and
Olivia: what?
Zach: I'm sorry I don't even know what I'm
saying
Olivia: I have a boyfriend
Zach: oh okay. I'm sorry I didn't mean to be
creepy
Olivia: its okay I hope we can still be friends
Zach: yeah we can be friends
Olivia: okay
.
They drove over to his mother's house and took
the kids.

AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
Olivia arrived home with the kids, Mayah was still
sleepy so she put her to bed. She sat down with
Alpha on her lap and called her mother.
.
Her: hello
Olivia: mom its me
Her: oh hello honey
Olivia: mom I need your help I'm not coping with
the children
Her: you know I can't help take care of them. I'm
a busy woman, what happened to day care?
Olivia: the woman went to Cape town so its closed
for now till schools reopen
Her: find other daycares
Olivia: I can't afford it ma, you know kids are
expensive. Plus I'm still paying for the house
Her: they have a father don't they?
Olivia: he's playing his role ma I just don't like
them going with him to the hotel. There are many
people there they might get kidnapped
Her: you know I can't Olivia the shop keeps me
busy and two children are hard work
Olivia: maybe granny can help
Her: no no no she's too old Olivia, she can't run
behind Mayah specially when her knees are giving
her problems right now. Hire a nanny I'm sure
they are not expensive there are many people who
are looking for a job
Olivia: I don't want a stranger around my kids
mama I..
Her: you need to to stop being a snob and hire a
maid. I raise you on my own if I was not here who
would you want to take care of your kids?
Olivia: haa ma
Her: they have a father he can pay for a daycare
no matter how expensive it is. Stop being stingy
that is not even yours
Olivia: yoh wrong number
Her: let it be for the next 10 years
.
Her mother hung up she put down her phone not
believing what happened but she was right. She
took her phone and dialled Day's number but he
was already on the gate. He parked his car in and
went in the house
.
Day: hello
Olivia: hey
Day: (taking Alpha) buddy where's my angel?
Olivia: (laughing) she's sleeping
Day: okay I will wait till she wakes up
Olivia: Day…
Day: yes
Olivia: I'm not coping with the kids specially now
that daycare is closed
Day: okay so you want to hire a nanny?
Olivia: no but I want to take them to another
daycare but its a bit expensive
Day: I will pay
Olivia: I can try pay half
Day: no its fine. I can pay, how much?
Olivia: well I found one they can take both of
them. R7000 a month, we don't have to worry
about food and nappies plus they have teachers
for kids like Mayah. Then there's one R2500 we
will have to buy nappies and foods things like
that.
Day: the first one is good with me
Olivia: really?
Day: yeah
Olivia: (happy) thank you
Day: but I want to go inspect it first. Make sure
its safe for our little one
Olivia: I have already seen it its fenced and
there's even a security guide at the gate and
there's cameras. It's just great my heart will be
at ease knowing they are safe but you can go
check it out
Day: (smiling) okay you give me directions
Olivia: okay
Day: you can go rest
Olivia: so you can take pictures of me sleeping
Day: (laughing) you were cute
Olivia: never do that again okay?
Day: okay madame
Olivia: I'm going to sleep and lock the door
Day: (laughing) fine then
.
HOURS LATER
.
Olivia woke up and freshen up Day was playing
with the kids in the living rooms.
.
Olivia: we can go to the daycare now.
Day: okay, let's go everyone
.
They went to the day care. They were warmly
welcomed and shown around by the owner.
.
Manager: as you can see we take care and treat
all the kids as our own.
Olivia: I'm sold (looking at Mayah) looks like our
angel has made a friend already
Day: (looking at Tasha playing with Mayah) I have
see the girl before with her mom
Olivia: who?
Day: that little one Tasha
Manager: she's one of the kids we keep an eye on
protecting them making sure they are okay and
well protected. You know the stigma around them
Day: you're right
Olivia: she's beautiful
Day: who's her mother?
Manager: we don't give away that information
Day: Oh okay I see
Olivia: see
Day: okay I'm sold
Manager: you can follow me so we can register
them
Day: okay let's go
.
Day and Olivia went to register they then went
back home. While Olivia was cleaning Day played
with his kids outside.
.
Day: honey
Mayah: daddy?
Day: who was you're friend?
Mayah: Kate?
Day: not that one
Mayah: Candice?
Day: not that one
Mayah: teddy?
Day: your new friend?
Mayah: Tasha
Day: Tasha who?
Mayah: Tasha Vilakazi
Day: do you like her?
Mayah: yes she's great and too quite
Day: who is her mom?
Mayah: Priscilla
Day: (smiling) oh okay, you're not making it up
right?
Mayah: I told her my mom is Olivia and my day is
Mr Dibuseng
Day: (laughing) good girl
Mayah: I want to go swinging
Day: okay
.
Day put her on her swing then pushed her. He
searched on his phone
.
Day: spell sihle
Mayah: I don't know but I can write
Day: (giving her his phone) type
.
She typed the name. Then Day did the rest,
luckily he knew how to spell the surname. After
scrolling he finally found her. He sent a message.
.
Day: hi
.
AT THE HOTEL
.
Sihle's heart pounded as he saw Day's message.
.
Sihle: what do you want?
Day: to talk can we meet?
Sihle: I'm busy
Day: please you're still in town right?
Sihle: no
.
She blocked him.
.
MEANWHILE
.
Frustratedly he thought about it and took the
kids going to daycare. He packed few mitres
away. Few minutes later he saw Sihle picking
Tasha then followed her.

OLIVIA
.
I woke up and got ready for work. I walked out to
the living room where Day and the kids were
sleeping. I shook him and he slowly opened his
eyes.
.
Day: (yawning) hey
Me: hey, I'm leaving to work now
Day: should I take you there?
Me: no I will get a lift from Dr Zwane
Day: Zach Zwane?
Me: yes
Day: oh I need to talk to him
Me: try not to ruin our friendship okay
Day: (laughing) Olivia I'm a changed man
Me: I hope so
Day: you have stopped breast feeding Alpha
Me: yes he's going to day care now so I don't see
the need
Day: if he doesn't grow tall like his father I
swear to God I'm coming after you
Me: worry not I will inject him to grow tall
Day: (saw the car lights) that should be him
Me: okay let me get my bag
.
I went to get my handbag in my room while Day
went outside to talk to Zach.
.
.
OUTSIDE
.
Day took the samples and walked to Zach's car.
Zach pulled down the window to hear his story.
.
Day: hi
Zach: hi
Day: you must be Zach?
Zach: yes and you are?
Day: Day Dibuseng
Zach: oh Day Number told me I will get a parcel
from you
Day: yes I wanted to give you this samples A is
the child and B is the guy I think might be her
father
Zach: (looking at plastic A) Tasha and (looking and
plastic Amogelang Dibuseng. He's out of town
how did you get his samples?
Day: I hired someone to get me one piece of hair
in her house so it wasn't that hard. Hide that I
don't want Olivia finding out
Zach: you don't have to remind me I know what
I'm doing (giving him a paper with numbers) my
account number and the pay
Day: okay
Olivia: (walking out with Alpha) the little guy is
now awake
Day: can't wait to take them to daycare
Olivia: (laughing) just for tonight only
.
Day took his son and went back in the house to
Mayah. While Olivia got into the car
.
Olivia: I hope he didn't trouble you?
Zach: nah he's a cool guy. The father of your
children?
Olivia: yeah he's my rock. You know a lot of
fathers make it the moms responsibility to take
care of the kids specially after breaking up but
he's different he's been really helpful
Zach: good man traits
Olivia: I know good man traits indeed
.
They drove to the hospital. After a short meeting
they got to work.
.
Jane: hey
Olivia: hey, how are you doing?
Jane: I'm doing good now
Olivia: good to know I was worried
Jane: I'm doing good now. Hope you rested well?
Olivia: (laughing) rested girl I found a torn
condom in the bin I'm my house and it was used.
You could have seen me flying out to buy
emergency pills only to leave then in the taxi
Jane: (laughing) aren't you on contraceptives
Olivia: we use protection plus I don't want them
you gain weight and truth be told I'm trying to
shade off a few pounds
Jane: well its either you get fat because of pills
or you get fat because of being pregnant
Olivia: and I really don't want a baby even Amo
knows that. Imagine three babies from three
different fathers I might as well make Day give
me another child if I want one
Jane: but there are women who have them
Olivia: its not a bad thing but hhay I can't and
I'm not even coping. I have registered them to
daycare now
Jane: but they are expensive
Olivia: I know but I have no choice anyway Day is
paying
Jane: at least did you get them?
Olivia: the pills? Yeah from my neighbour
Jane: okay maybe you should start taking them
just to be on the safe side
Olivia: you're right but I will give Amo a piece of
my mind
Jane: (laughing) he was just trying his luck.
Olivia: (laughing) he knows the right places to
touch I end up flowing like a river
Jane: you go girl as long as you are happy
.
They smiled to each other and carried on working.
Taking g a break she decided to call Amogelang.
.
Amo: babe
Olivia: don't babe me
Amo: what did I do now?
Olivia: how can you not tell me the condom burst
the last time we had sex?
Amo: (smiling) you're pregnant, but its been three
day now. How did you know so soon
Olivia: I'm not pregnant I saw the condom in my
bin, how can you doing this to me Amo we talked
about things
Amo: I didn't do this intentionally I thought you
were on contraceptives. You are a doctor you
know these things
Olivia: aargh
Amo: I'm sorry if you think I planned this but I
didn't and yes I would be damn happy if you got
pregnant
Olivia: well put that aside because I have already
taken a pill I'm about to pop another one now
Amo: its your body Olivia I won't force you to
anything but let's get one thing straight its not
my responsibility to make sure you don't get
pregnant. You should play your part too condoms
are not 100% I don't even know know why I'm
discussing this with you, you are a doctor
Olivia: I got the message Amo
Amo: I'm sorry for not telling you
Olivia: okay I should have know better too
Amo: I'm glad we spoke it out
Olivia: (smiling) me too
Amo: I love you
Olivia: I love you too. Got to go
Amo: okay bye
Olivia: bye
.
She hung up and took another pill.
.
Olivia: hope its not too late
.
She drank water then went back to work.
.

IN LONDON
.
Shadow answered her phone quickly
.
Shadow: did you get the guns?
Her: yeah they're in my house
Shadow: are you stupid how can we cross the
boarder with them?
Her: shit I didn't think about that
Shadow: organise them to be in S.A we will just

.
THREE WEEKS LATER
.
AT THE HOTEL
.
Shadow's friend sat down looking at her. She was
frustrated why didn't Shadow let them do the
job few weeks ago
.
Her: I can't believe you flew me from London just
to stay and hide in this hotel
Shadow: we're still waiting for the right time. We
must catch him when his vulnerable or else we will
be dead
Her: we both got guns this will be easy
Shadow: we're dealing with someone who has been
in the army. If we are not careful it will be our
heads on the chopping board
Her: mxm let's go home and take the offer he
gave you its clear you're a chicken
Shadow: I want to do it but something doesn't
feel right
Her: I still want my money
Shadow: and you will have it we have a full week
till the divorce is finalised. For now we just have
to get him when he's with Olivia. As much as they
are not dating he wouldn't hesitate to protect
the mother of his children
Her: (smiling) mmh now we're cooking something
but adding more eyes
Shadow: we might have to take her out (sighed) I
really don't want her in this she has kids to raise
Her: we have no choice
Shadow: (sighed) I guess she will take the drivers
place
.
Her friend nodded and went to make herself
coffee.
.
.
AT AMO'S HOUSE
.
Olivia went to the kitchen and made herself
coffee
.
Amo: (emptying the cup) you know you're not
suppose to drink that
Olivia: (pissed off) Amo what the fuck are you
crazy?
Amo: just calm down
Olivia: you don't tell me to calm down I'm
pregnant for God's sake
Amo: its a good thing babe
Olivia: why does mom have to be right about
everything happening in my life. I will turn 35
with 7 kids from different fathers
Amo: that's not true. I love you I'm not going
anywhere
Olivia: I don't want another baby. I don't want
this baby
Amo: don't say that, its like you're cursing him
Olivia: (tearful) I can't do this I'm not even
coping with two
Amo: I will help like Day
Olivia: I have to go to work
Amo: did you check on the kids?
Olivia: I will check on them before I go
Amo: okay
.
Olivia went to their room and took a shower.
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S HOUSE
.
Day sat down on the couch helping Mayah put on
her shoes.
.
Mayah: Dad when will we move in to our new
house?
Day: soon
Mayah: but you said that on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday Friday Saturday and
Sunday
Day: (laughing) I said that?
Mayah: yes I have been counting. I even told Mr
teddy we have a new house he now thinks I'm
lying
Day: we will move it but we have to get mommy's
permission first
Mayah: I thought I was the only one who did that
Day: everyone does that so mommy doesn't get
too worried about us. Kids your age get spanking
but I don't
Mayah: what do you get?
Day: (whispering) silent treatment
Mayah: does it hurt?
Day: really badly
Mayah: ouch I'm sorry
Day: (laughing) let's go now
Mayah: (looking at Alpha on his chair) let's go
buddy
.
Alpha smiled at her.
.
Mayah: he's smiling at me daddy
Day: I can see
Mayah: Alpha do you know me? I'm your big sister
I'm bigger than you
.
Alpha found what Mayah said amusing. He just
smiled
.
Day: (picking Alpha) okay let's go
Mayah: and dad I need ballet shoes for my
dancing class
Day: you dance?
Mayah: yes we have dance classes I want to be a
ballerina
Day: no more miss manager?
Mayah: I will be both
Day: (laughing) okay but you have to help me wash
my car to get those shoes
Mayah: okay
.
Olivia arrived while Day sat the kids in the car.
She went to Alpha's side and kissed him. Mayah
was also excited waiting for her kiss. Olivia went
to her side and kissed her as well. She then
looked at Day, gosh he was handsome, he was
back in shape and gained weight looking much
more healthier and younger. You'd swear he had a
girlfriend
.
Day: hey
Olivia: hi
Day: (hugging her) you okay?
Olivia: yeah just tired
Day: (smiling) I don't want to ask more
Olivia: (laughing) mxm taking them to day care
already?
Day: yes I need to talk to you about the house in
cape town
Olivia: your house?
Day: I would to take the kids to come visit me for
the holiday
Olivia: that's fine by me
Day: (happy) okay thank you. We can go I will drop
you off at work
Olivia: okay
.
Olivia joined them and went on to be dropped at
work. The day went on but Olivia was still
stressed its wasn't hard to notice. She took
abortion pamphlet and put them on her handbag.
Her friend walked in and she pretended to pack
away stuff
.
Jane: Olivia are you okay?
Olivia: yeah I'm fine
Jane: (turning her around) talk to me
Olivia: (tearful) I don't want this baby
Jane: you're pregnant?
Olivia: (nodded crying) I don't want it
.
Jane sat down with her while she was crying
hugging her.
.
.
AT DAYCARE
.
The kids went to play outside at the back. Mayah
and her 4 friends played by the fence.
.
Cindy: look a little gate
Mayah: its not a gate its a hole
Matthew: an escape hole
Cindy: I bet no one can fit in there
Hope: I can
Tasha: don't do it you will get in trouble
Matthew: don't listen to her she's a chicken
Tasha: (sighed) mxm
Cindy: let me try
.
Cindy tried to squeeze herself out but she
couldn't the rest followed while Tasha looked at
them, on the other side the road was busy with
car passing at full speed.
.
Mayah: I can do it
Tasha: (tearful) Mayah don't I'm scared
Matthew: cry baby do it Mayah
.
Mayah went down and crawled down with her tiny
body. They cheered at her except for Tasha. The
lady heard them screaming in excitement and
went to their side. Mayah was outside
.
Her: Mayah!
.
Meanwhile Mayah saw a puppy on the other side
of the road. She loved dogs
.
Mayah: look a puppy
Cindy: go take it so we can play
.
She jumped the road while there were no cars
and took the puppy excitedly she went back in the
road the driver hit the bricks so he doesn't hit
her he swayed to the other side hitting another
car. Another one one came and hit her while the
driver was trying to get away from her.
.
The worker screamed terrified looking at her
body laying there. Other workers saw her and
rushed out while other driver went out to help
and an ambulance was called

.
Olivia was checking on her last patient when her
phone began ringing. She took it and answered
.
Olivia: hello
Voice: miss Masina its Joyce from daycare
Voice: yes is everything okay with the kids?
Joyce: we would like you to come here now if
possible
Olivia: tell me what happened now
Joyce: please come, we have already called Mr
Dibuseng
Olivia: woman tell me what's going on
Joyce: please come
.
Joyce hung up and Olivia went to Mr Xulu's
office.
.
Olivia: (shaky) Sir I need to go to day care
something terrible happened to my children
Him: and you're still here? Hurry I will get
someone to cover for you
Olivia: thank you
.
She rushed out answering her ring phone
.
Olivia: hello
Day: hurry come outside we have to go to Day
care something terrible happened
Olivia: I'm coming
.
She rushed out joining Day in his car. He
reversed out joining the road
.
Olivia: (frustrated) hurry up!!!
Day: we have to respect the rules of the road
Olivia: (tearful) something happened to our babies
I can feel it
Day: (heart pounding) don't say that
.
An ambulance passed them going the opposite
direction. Olivia couldn't help herself but to cry
.
Olivia: (crying) oh my God, please let it not be my
babies, please protect them
Day: (tearful) I'm going to kill someone
.
He increased speed and the arrived. The police
were already there, other parents collecting their
kids and the owner Joyce explaining what
happened. Olivia: (shouting) Mayah Mayah!!!
Babysitter: Miss Masina
Day: (looking around) where's our daughter?
Babysitter: she got into an accident
.
Olivia fell on the ground crying hysterical. Joyce
and the police man walked over. Day got up and
attacked Joyce but the police held him back
.
Day: (angry) you promised to take care of her to
protect her. You promised!!
Joyce: (tearful) it was an honest mistake we
didn't know there was a hole at the back. I'm
really sorry we didn't plan any of this
Day: (fighting the police) let go of me now
Police man:calm down if you touch here will lock
you up
Day: I want my son now!!!
.
Olivia walked to the house screaming and crying
.
Olivia: (crying) where's Mayah, give me my Mayah
Joyce: she's scarring the other kids now
Babysitter: they took her to the hospital
Olivia: and you're telling me now? Mxm you're
just stupid. I was at the hospital I could have
waited for her there
Joyce: I'm truly sorry
Babysitter: here's your boy
Day: (taking Alpha) my baby better be okay or
hell will break lose. Let's go honey
.
Olivia followed him to the car. She sat down with
Alpha on her lap all she could think about was
Mayah and tears just came down. Day even found
himself crying as well
.
Day: (crying) God please save her
Olivia: (crying) I need her, she's my everything.
My reason to live and breath air. My reason to
survive all and come on top
.
They drove in silence only tears told the story.
He arrived parked the car and rushed in. Olivia
went to the receptionist.
.
Olivia: please tell me where the little girl that
had just arrived is. She's my daughter, Mayah
Ngwenya
Receptionist: she's in ICU
.
Olivia gave Day their son and rushed over there
as Day followed her. She pushed the door open.
She broke seeing her daughter laying there with
a metal poking out her chest and blood all over.
.
Dr Z: take her out now
Olivia: (crying) no please… I want to help I want
to save her
Dr D: you're in no state to do that. Please take
her out
.
Two nurses pushed her out
.
Olivia: (crying) no please I just want to make sure
you're doing everything right
Day: (holding her back with one hand)go do your
job I will handle her
Them: thank you
.
They went back inside while Day stood the
blocking her way.
.
Day: let's leave it to them and God
Olivia: (crying going down on her knees) I want to
save her I'm her mom they will hurt her
Day: you have to be strong for her baby please
.
She slowly got off the floor looking at Alpha who
was crying. They went to sit at the chairs outside.
She rested her head on his shoulder crying.
.
Olivia: they are removing a metal object on her
chest
.
Day closed his eyes as tears fell down and said a
little prayer. He got disturbed by one of the
nurses about filling information about Mayah. He
did that and took it to the receptionist. Dealing
with Olivia and Alpha on the other hand was touch
work. He sent Olivia's mom and Amogelang
messages demanding them to rush here.
.
He went back and bumped on to Sihle,
remembering the results
.
Day: hi
Sihle: hi I'm sorry about your daughter
Day: I can't say its okay cause its not
Sihle: I understand I will pray for her
Day: thank you. Why is she here?
Sihle: she saw everything and had a panic attack.
She's really fragile
Day: (bending down to Tasha)hello
Tasha: hello, will Mayah be okay?
Day: yes all we have to do is pray
Tasha: I pray every night before I go to sleep
Day: good girl (smiled) your dad will be happy to
see you
Tasha: dad?
Sihle: I think we should go now
Day: (stood up looking at her) Amo loves all his
kids don't take her away from him or you will pay
dearly
Sihle: he's not the father
Day: I secretly did a DNA test. I have evidence
Sihle: okay okay please don't tell him now. I want
to do it myself
Day: you have 2weeks
Sihle: okay
.
Day walked back and sat next to Olivia taking
Alpha from her. Meanwhile Sihle walked out with
Tashata.
.
Tasha: mom where's dad?
Sihle: you will meet him soon okay?
Tasha: okay
.
She got in the car. Then drove away
.

TWO HOURS LATER
.
Dr Zwane came to give them an update on what
was happening. Olivia was sleeping on Day's
shoulder. He gently shook her, she woke and
quickly stood up seeing Doctor Zwane
.
Olivia: please tell me she's okay
Dr Z: well we managed to remove the metal
object that was on her chest
Olivia: how bad did it damage her?
Dr Z: it went through her ribs but luckily it didn't
touch her lungs and heart but she had few broken
ribs
Olivia: okay not bad and her brain?
Dr Z: well there are no signs of cerebral edema
but we have detected Haematoma
Day: what is that?
Olivia: oh my God its when blood forms a clot that
may prevent blood getting to a part of the brain
or cause pressure leading to the damage of nerve
centres
Dr Z: so Neurosurgery is required to remove the
clot and reduce pressure and we have to be
careful to avoid her having ICP intracranial
pressure caused by…
Olivia: Hemorrhage, Haematoma and stress
Dr Z: but we will do ICP monitoring
Olivia: (tearful) oh my God
Day: (confused) what does that mean
Dr Z: we will insert a thin tube through the skull
to lie on the surface of the brain. The tube is
then attached to the monitor.
Olivia: when will you do the surgery?
Dr Z: tonight
Olivia: (sighed) please save her
Dr Z: we will try our best
Olivia: can we see her
Dr Z: not at this stage maybe after surgery
Day: okay thank you doctor
.
Doctor Zwane walked away while Olivia cried, Day
pulled her closer hugging her. Amo arrived shortly
after and went to them, ahint of jealously hit him
when he saw Olivia holding on tightly to Day but
he controlled himself
.
Amo: hey
Day: hey
Amo: Olivia…
.
Olivia just cried holding on to Day. Day kissed her
forehead rubbing her back softly.
.
Day: please hold Alpha
Amo: okay
.
Amo took Alpha while Day hugged Olivia. Dudu
arrived later with a baby bag.
.
Dudu: hey sorry I took long, I wanted to get
things for Alpha
Day: thank you. Olivia breast fed him few hours
ago but he needs diaper change
Dudu: I have all he needs here (looking at Amo)
can I?
Amo: yes of coarse
.
Dudu took Alpha to the bathroom to change his
diaper. While Amo sat next to his brother.
.
Amo: what's going on?
Day: Mayan got into an accident. They have
already done one surgery we're waiting for the
next. She suffered brain injury
Amo: shit but how?
Day: its a long story right now I'm just focussing
on my daughter getting better
Amo: you're right. Did Olivia see a doctor?
Day: no
Amo: she needs to see someone
Olivia: don't talk about me like I'm not here
Amo: I'm worried about your health you don't
need stress right now
Olivia: (tearful) my daughter is lying there
Amogelang and you're telling me about stress.
How can I not be stressed huh?
Day: calm down Oli please
Amo: we also have another baby to think of
Day: he's right Alpha needs you as well
Amo: not Alpha, she's pregnant
Day: WTF?. I thought you said you don't want
another baby?
Olivia: I still don't
Amo: she's already pregnant that cannot be
undone.
Olivia: thank you for adding more stress.
Amo: I'm sorry babe
.
Olivia got up and walked to the bathroom. She
bumped on to her mother she looked at her sad
face and kissed her forehead
.
Her: I'm sorry
Olivia: I'm really scared to lose her
Her: you won't. As long as we keep praying for
her
Olivia: (tearful) she's my angel my everything. We
gone through a lot of stuff together. Its always
her before me, I would do anything to take her
place right now. That's how much I love her,
rather me than her
Her: she will be fine
Olivia: (sighed) thank you for bringing all this
Her: I know we tend to forget about other
important people when we go through a crisis. I
made him 3 bottles hoping its enough
Olivia: it will be nice
Her: you are a mess I think we should go home so
you can rest a bit
Olivia: no I want to be here with her
Her: we have to take turns. Amo and I will remain
behind while you go home with day and Alpha.
Olivia: oh okay that's not a bad idea
Her: I will call you if something good or bad
happens
Olivia: okay thank you
Her: you're welcome.
.
They went back to them and Olivia's mom voiced
out the idea. Amo didn't like the idea of having
his brother alone with his girl but he didn't want
to cause drama at a time like this.
.
Amo: fine by me
Olivia: okay thank you. Let me go get my bag
Day: thanks again everyone
Her: okay
.
Day followed Olivia who had Alpha with her. She
took her bag then they went to his car and drove
home. They said no word to each other, Day still
couldn't believe she was pregnant. Olivia was
trying to ready what's going on on his head failing
dismally.
.
They arrived home. Day took Alpha and bathed
him while Olivia went to take a shower. After she
was done she took Alpha while Day went to take a
shower as well. He got out and found Olivia in her
pyjamas. He wore only his boxers.
.
Day: want warm milk?
Olivia: yes
.
Day went to make milk for them while Olivia left
Alpha in his baby cot and went to sit on the
couch. Day gave her her milk and sat down
drinking his quietly.
.
Olivia: so you're not going to say anything?
Day: about?
Olivia: about me bring pregnant I know you have a
lot to say
Day: I'm just disappointed that's all. You vowed
not to have another child and I want lie that
made my selfish self happy. I didn't want you to
have another man's child
Olivia: I'm sorry
Day: don't be. I didn't have a problem with you
dating my brother but now somehow it hurts
because you're pregnant
Olivia: I know
Day: I love you but I won't get in the way of you
being happy
Olivia: I know
Day: (smiling) come here
.
She put down her milk and hugged him.
.
Day: we should go to sleep.
Olivia: you're right
.
Day put down his milk and went to the guest room.
Olivia secretly smiled looking at his D wiggling in
his boxers.
.
Day: stop starring at my D
.
She laughed and went to her room. She closed
her eyes falling asleep. She saw her daughter the
meta object poking out her body. Her faint voice
screaming for her mom. Blood all over… it was all
mixed going back to that day Olivia tried to
scream but this time the man smashed Mayah's
head with that breek.
.
Olivia woke up in tears. She hasn't been asleep
that long it has been 45 minutes. She got out of
her room and went to sleep next to Day. He said
nothing only to pulled her close to himself. With
his face on her neck breathing down on her neck
she felt ant ease and fell asleep again
.
.
.
#119
.
.
.
Olivia and Day made their way to the hospital
after grabbing something to eat.
.
Day: what would you do if we got there and find
her awake?
Olivia: (smiling) I would be so damn happy. I would
go crazy
Day: (laughing) I would be so happy as well.
.
Olivia stopped and put her hand on to her
stomach feeling pain
.
Day: are you okay?
Olivia: I don't know I'm not sure. I need to get
checked out at the hospital
Day: yeah let's go, we don't need you losing this
baby right now. It will kill Amo, he really loves you
and the little guy
Olivia: I know (exhaled) let's go, I'm not getting
any better
Day: let's take a taxi there
Olivia: come on Day its not even that far
Day: you are in pain
Olivia: (frowning feeling pain) let's go
.
They walked to the hospital and arrived
.
Olivia: can we go see Mayah first?
Day: not when you're in pain
Olivia: they have stopped but after seeing her I
will go check up
Day: okay let's go
Olivia: we should consider moving her to a private
hospital
Day: we will but for now I don't want to cause
unnecessary stress to her
Olivia: yeah you're right and they are doing a…
.
Olivia became speechless and her heart pounded
the moment she saw an empty bed. One if the
workers was changing the sheets. She swallowed
hard as tears started streaming down her cheeks
.
Olivia: where's…. Where's my daughter?
Her: I don't know I've been told to prepare this
bed for another patient. You go ask the doc…
.
Olivia pushed her against the wall strangling her
with her own clothes. Day pulled her back
forcefully and squeezed her on his arms while the
worker quickly walked out.
.
Olivia: (yelling) let go of me Day!!! Let go I want
my child…. I want my baby
.
She fought him but he tightened his hold on her
making her feel weak. She cried as the pain came
back.
.
Day: (swallowed a lump) it will be okay
Olivia: (crying) no I want my daughter… she can't
leave me now, no I still need her (fighting Day)
Mayah…. Mayah!!!
Day: Olivia calm down
Olivia: (looking around) Mayah come to mommy I
won't hurt you please don't leave me
Day: (tearful) Olivia…
.
She fell on the ground crying hysterically. The
worker came back with Doctor Jane and nurse
Mia.
.
Jane: (seeing blood on her pants) shit she's losing
the baby
Olivia: (crying) I want my daughter
Day: please find Mayah
Jane: Mia find Mayah, you Day take her and
follow me
.
Mia went to the reception while Day carried
Olivia and followed Jane. He put her on the
hospital bed while Jane checked her up.
.
Jane: can we please have some privacy?
Day: okay
.
He stepped out and waited. Mia came back after
a few minutes to address Day about his daughter.
.
Mia: I found her, she's not dead, she just got
moved this morning
Day: can I go see her?
Mia: sure follow me.
.
Day followed her, they got in and Mayah was still
laying there. He sat down and held her hand.
.
Day: (looking at Mia) tell me she's going to be
okay
Mia: ummh I …
Day: (angry) say it!
Mia: she's going to be okay
Day: (kissing Mayah's hand) see if the nurse says
you will be okay. Mommy and I love you very much.
We need you (tearful) you are our happiness our
sunshine, our naughty girl, beautiful princess our
everything. I will take you out for ice cream not
everyday (soft laugh) but on Wednesdays and
Saturday plus Sundays. If you fight this I will
always protect you and hold your hand when times
are hard. (Tearful) You make me happy please
don't give up because you will leave with my hap…
.
Mayah squeezed his hand for few seconds.
.
Day: (tearful excited) did you see that?
Mia: (tearful) yes
Day: (kissing her hand) don't give up, you carry on
fighting my angel. Olivia has to hear this
.
He stood up and went to where Olivia was kept.
Jane was on her way out when they bumped on to
each other.
.
Day: sorry
Jane: its okay
Day: how is she and the baby?
Jane: sadly she lost the baby. Her stress levels
were just too high, she's sedated right now but
you can go see her
Day: (sighed) okay thank you again
Jane: just doing my job
.
She walked away while he entered and sat down
starring at Olivia who seem to be asleep.
.
Olivia: (sleepy) did you find her?
Day: yes she squeezed my hand too
.
Olivia smiled as tears rolled down from the edges
of her eyes. Not tears of happiness but tears of
her losing her baby. She fell asleep then Day
called his brother.
.
Amo: hello
Day: bro can you come to the hospital now?
Amo: is everything okay
Day: just come Olivia needs you
Amo: okay I'm on my way
Day: sure
.
He hung up and waited for him. Hours later Amo
arrived and found his brother outside waiting for
him.
.
Amo: what's going on bro tell me
Day: she lost the baby
Amo: you're lying (laughing) you're just lying.
Day: (tearful) I'm sorry
Amo: (tearful) no she didn't… Olivia wouldn't …I
have to see her
Day: you can go in
.
Amo walked in and found her awake facing up
looking at the ceiling. She heard the door, looked
who it was then sat up straight seeing Amo with
tearful red eyes. She started crying as Amo sat
on the bed and hugged her.
.
Olivia: (crying) I'm sorry
.
Amo said nothing, he just wanted to see her face.
She was a damn good actor he said to himself. He
pulled away and walked away quietly.
.
Day: where are you going?
Amo: I need air, I need to breath
Day: don't get drunk
.
Amo said nothing and walked out to his car. He
got in and cried for about 30 minutes. He then
made a call to someone
.
Voice: yes
Amo: I need a gun
Voice: when?
Amo: today
Voice: it will cost you
Amo: money is not a problem
Voice: R25000 I will deliver it
Amo: good I will tell you where
Voice: good
.
He hung up and started his car driving to the
bank. He got the money bought booze then went
to their secret location. They exchanged after
they left he just carried on drinking taking out
baby socks from his pocket starring at them.
.
Amo: why did she do it? She could've just gave
birth and leave you with me than to kill you, I
would have taken care of you boy. I know I would
(drank his beer) why does love hurt like this? We
hurt the ones that love us and cherish those who
don't. Such a pity an innocent soul had to suffer
for my sins. (Sniffed the socks) I love you boy
.
He looked at the gun it was loaded, put it away
and drove back home.
.
.
THE NEXT DAY.
.
Olivia got discharged from the hospital. Her made
them food then prepared to go to the hospital.
.
Her: where's Amo?
Olivia: he called, he won't make it to the hospital.
There's a crisis at work
Her: okay. This is really for him
Olivia: I know me too. I really wanted to keep him
and then I just…
Day: (playing with Alpha) none of us planned this.
Olivia: I know. Now I'm worried about Mayah
Her: I should go check on her
Olivia: okay kiss her for me
Her: I will bye
Them: bye
.
She took her car and drove to the hospital.
.
MEANWHILE…
.
Voice: you can come her mother just left
Shadow: so its him and Olivia in the house now?
Voice: yes
Shadow: good
.
She hung up.
.
Shadow: let's go everything is set
Terri: I'm not happy about doing this at this time
Shadow: you can't chicken out now
Terri: I'm not a chicken let's go
.
They took their bag wore wigs and outfits that
made them look different. They took a taxi there.
.
.
Meanwhile
.
Day: I want to take Alpha to the park do you want
to come?
Olivia: no I'm tired
Day: are you sure?
Olivia: (laughing) just go I want to be alone and
sleep just to collect my thoughts
Day: okay don't do something stupid
Olivia: I won't now go.
.
Day smiled and took Alpha walking out. Shadow's
spy saw him
.
Zee: shit (calling Shadow) pick up pick up bitch
.
Shadow's phone just rang at the hotel without
being answered.
.
Zee: this is not good
.
She realising what was about to happen she wiped
the phone clean avoiding leaving finger prints and
smashed it with a rock. She saw a male she didn't
know arrive.
.
.
AT OLIVIA'S ROOM.
.
She sat on her bed with her hand on her tummy
wanting to cry. She took her tablet and looked at
Mayah's photo's. She smiled looking at Mayah's
favorite picture. It was herself, her father
kissing her mother's cheek, Mr Teddy and little
brother. A call came in on her phone she
answered
.
Olivia: mom
Her: your princess woke up
Olivia: (happy) really Oh God yes!!!
Her: (laughing) her first word was ice cream
Olivia: (laughing) can't wait to see her
Her: okay bye
Olivia: bye
.
She looked at her reflection on the mirror happy
but her smiled faded as she saw Amo behind her
with a gun pointing at her head.
.
Olivia: oh my God
Amo: while I'm moaning my child you are
celebrating his dearth
Olivia: (tearful) please Amo I was not….
Amo: (angry) shut up!!!
Olivia: you're just drunk you need…
Amo: (shouting) Shut up!!!
Olivia: (crying) oh my God
Amo: I know you aborted him. I found the
abortion papers (crying) you hate me that much
Olivia huh? I love you I waited for you. I worship
you but you…
Olivia: Amo listen….
Amo: (shouting) Shut up!!! Go down on your knees
and pray. Ask God to forgive you for aborting my
son
Olivia: but I didn't…
.
She screamed and quickly went down on her knees
as he shot the roof.
.
Amo: pray
Olivia: (crying) God protect my children , help him
raise them. Give him the strength to… (he shot
the mirror. She screamed terrified) forgive me…
forgive me for…
Amo: say it
Olivia: forgive me for aborting….
.
.
MEANWHILE
.
Olivia's neighbour heard the gun shots and ran
inside the house screaming. She called the police
as she heard more shots being fired…
.
.
Shadow and her friend arrived
.
Shadow: let's bounce
.
They got out of the car and rushed in the house.
The doors weren't locked they smiled at each
other and walked in with their guns. It was quite
.
Terri: (whispered) I don't think we're at the
right house
Shadow: this is the one let's go to that room
.
They walked to Olivia's room. Terri screamed as
he saw blood on the floor and two bodies on top
of each other.
.
Shadow: we have to get out of here n…
.
Police: (behind them) drop your weapons and put
your hands in the air
Shadow: shit
Terri: (crying) Oh my God we didn't do it
Police: turn around with your hands up in the air
.
They turned around slowly
.
Shadow: (tears falling) its official God hates me
.
.
OUTSIDE
.
Day came back with his son who was crying
hysterically
.
Day: you missing mommy now?
.
He just cried loudly
.
Day: we're almost there now
.
Day arrived home only to find police outside and
Shadow handcuffed being shoved to the police
van
.
Shadow: (looking at Day) I didn't do it…. I swear
I didn't do it day
.
He didn't understand what was going on but it hit
him when he saw paramedics exiting the house
with a body covered in a white sheet.
.
Police: Sir can you please come with us to the
station
Day: (rubbing his teary eyes) what's going on?
Police: we will explain when we get there
Day: (swallowed a lump) I need diapers and milk
for my son
Police: we will get them on the way there
Day: okay
