#847 In the morning, I was woken up by the kids and their noise. I went to freshen up then went downstairs to them. They were with Mercy and Mandla. Me:yhuu aningxoli nje! Hey Mandla. Mandla:hello. Mercy:breakfast is in the warmer. Me:enkosi. Thando:itya mama. Me:ufuna ukutya nam? Iza ke. He climbed on the chair and we sat and ate. Mandla:bendizojonga aba maan, let me go. Me:0h thanks. Mandla:ndicela uthetha nawe in private Phariza. Me:0kay. I got up and held onto him for support then we walked out. Him:are you okay? You didnt seem fine izolo. Me:Im perfectly fine Mandla. Him:your sister told me what happened. I rolled my eyes. Me:0h. Him:I think you better lay charges against this girl. Me:I dont want to. Mandla you wont tell me what to do yeva? I wont allow that. Him:fine. Im just worried about you. Its evident uhlaliseke kakubi. Me:stop worrying about me. Im not a five year old girl. I know how to take care of myself. Him:you limping kungok Zama! Ufuna ze ufe to see that loPhumeza is dangerous? Me:leave me alone Mandla yeva? Him:you being selfish maan. Andaz why ungathandi uncedwa kangaka. You know your kids are not safe now since that mad woman could do that to your brother, you dont know what she could do to the triplets or Junior. Me:Ill handle it. Him:youve been saying that Zama but I havent seen anything. Let me tell you something, you about to fail these kids. You cant protect them and thatll make you a failure of a mother. Unale pride yobubhanxa. I dont know why you cant accept help from other people, people who care about you! He was fuming in anger, shouting as he said all then he got in the car and hooted for the gate to be opened, waphuma. I stood there, digesting what he had just said. Ndine pride and that Im about to fail my kids. It cut deep, and it got me thinking... In the afternoon, the triplets were taking their afternoon nap. I was at the back patio with my sister and Junior when I recieved a call from Thabang. Me:hey Thabang. Him:hey maam. Uxolo ngokuhlupha wethu, my right hand, Quinton isnt here kanti he knows P.E better. Me:0h ufuna ukuyaph? Him:your parents house. I need to talk to your mother. Me:0h uhm, is it about dad? Him:yes. Dont worry, its nothing that will upset her. Me:0kay...uhm, Ill sms the adress if thats gonna be fine. Him:thank you so much. Me:0kay sharp ke. We hung up. Mercy:who was that? Me:Thabang. He seems very troubled man. Her:I noticed. I sent the adress. Junior:so mama when is dad coming back from work. Me:soon ndoda. Him:0kay. Andisayi mna eskolwen? Me:hayi. Uyoya next year, yoqalala ugrade R ke. Him:and graduate? Me:ewe ndoda. Him:0kay. Thabang called again, thanking me. I couldnt help but wonder what this was all about but it was none of my business... Later that afternoon, my mind had been occupied with what Mandla had said earlier and so I felt the urge to contact him, ndamcela eze pha kwam xa ephuma espanin. Nyan he came and we sat in the lounge. Me:uhm, Ive been thinking about what you said. Him:and? Me:yeah maybe I am being selfish and being a pathetic mother. Him:I didnt say that. Me:you made it seem like that. Him:its the truth. You not thinking of your kids right now. I didnt mean to snap at you like that earlier but you make me so mad some times. Me:I want to lay charges against her. Him:not because I said so? Me:I want to protect my kids. Him:0h well, Im glad you finally seeing the light. I pushed him playfully. Me:yaphapha. He laughed. Him:you tend to think you big for your boots wena Phariza. Forgetting the seven years gap between us. Me:aaarg shut up! We stared at each other for a while until he cleared his throat. Him:Ill keep in touch. Me:thank you. He got up and I walked him out, wahamba...
