Nhlaka

***** we are in KZN right now, it's the 9th of October and we are just awaiting the birth of our son. We left Toto in Joburg with Nathi and Nandi. They will be here on Friday.*****

Dad: Nhlaka

Me: baba

Dad: how are you?

Me: good you?

Dad: happy. I mean the family is growing

Me: that's nice

Dad: yes. How is the business

Me: which one?

Dad: all of them

Me: company is going well, the branch is almost finished and I'll be launching it in January. Rod is late with the shipment again. Carlos is getting on my nerves. He wants his package and he refuses to understand that Rod has issues

Dad: Nhlaka whatever it is, please fix it. I want my money

Me: yes sir

Dad: great. How's your marriage

Me: going good. All is well. Weekend I'll be taking Thando to go visit Durban

Dad: ohh

Me: yeah, maThwala asked me to, she said her husband is sick and wanted to see her

Dad: ohh okay. I am hoping this won't confuse Thando. I mean she already knows Sani to be her mom

Me: I hope so too.

Ma: Manqoba

Dad: hmmm

****we both turned to her. She was wearing a two piece suit and heels. Dad looked her like it was the first time he saw her ****

Dad: hauw hauw wamuhle bo sthandwa Sam! ( you're beautiful my love)

Ma: Ngiyabonga( thank you)

Dad: uyaphi? (where are you going?)

Ma: we're going out, just to spend some time together

Dad: ohh okay, let me also look the part

Ma: sure. You'll find me here

Dad: sure

*****dad disappeared into the house. Ma sat down next to me on the chair.****

Me: you look beautiful first lady

Ma: ohh yess I do. Thank you

Me: my pleasure ma

Ma: how are you?

Me: good ma. I am very happy

Ma: aren't you nervous about being a father

Me: I am a fathee

Ma: I know, I mean, this is your first time you're actually going to be there to here when the baby is born, the first time you're going to hear the late nighy cries and have the stress

Me: ohh well I am nervous but I know I can do it

Ma: that's good. Don't leave all the child responsibilities to your wife, share them with her. She also needs to look beautiful and rest okay

Me: yes ma

Dad: let's go love

Ma: bye son

Me: have fun
