The Break Trough

Part 110

[Portia ]

“ thank you guys for coming it totally means a lot “
We did a group hug , Mpume , Zoe and Pam attended the funeral I was really grateful to have my girls with me on a time like this
Pam : “ are you good though ? “
Me : “honestly I’m just lost its going to be hard to adjust “
Zoe : “ at least you have your brothers , unjani uMpilo ? “
I sigh because that one decided not to speak to no one since we found out that mom passed away , Xolani is self destructing and Xolisa on the other hand is helping my father pick up the pieces
Zoe : “ dearth is not easy doll “
We sat down on the back yard under a tree this was my mom favorites spot , just thinking about her made me so emotional , I never had a solid relationship with my mother whatsoever and it hurt that she died with out her giving me any advice  on how to carry myself in this world as a women.
Mpume : “ hay where is Nkonzo , I did not see him at the funeral? “
I swallowed hard and I broke down and cried , the past week I lost Nkonzo , well he dumped me and mom passed on and I’m pregnant with a baby of a man who’s in love with some one else , how can life be so cruel to me , kanti ngenzeni mina
Mpume : “ hayboo sisi kwenzenjani , shhhhhh “ she hugged me while I wiped my tears , I was tired of crying
Me : “ yazi everything is upside down in my life , angazi what to do “
Pam : “ hawu sisi don’t say that “
Mpume; “ don’t do this to yourself girl ,what happened here was beyond your control , you Know GOD ... “|
Me: “ not now Mpume I don’t want to hear it , God is not here for me right now ok “ I stood up , Zoe held my hand
Me : “ I just don’t know where to start Zoe , I’m not strong enough “
Zoe : “ I flew from JHB to DBN , im jet leg and fuckin tired , I came here to support you , you not going to be selfish and walk away from us , we are your friends and you are going  sit down and you will tell us what’s  wrong “
Me : “ I’m sorry ok,  “
Zoe : “ you not Portia , you know when was the last time we spend time together , you have been in this bubble of yours  that we don’t know about , look we all got problem , but we do not hide from the world we face them “
Pam : “ Zoe is right , I know that your mom passed away, but I get a feeling that you were already in an emotional war with yourself even before this "
Mpume: “ and you never attended my wedding , sisi what’s going on , you don’t answer our calls , you don’t hang with us what’s wrong Portia, did we do something wrong ?  “
Me : “ Nkonzo broke up with me “
Pam : “ what ? did he cheat on you ? “
I shook my head and looked down
Zoe : “ I’m sorry sisi , what did he do ? “
Me : “ it was not him it was me “
Pam : “ Portia , stop guilt tripping yourself in each and every break up you go through , you felt like this also when you broke up with Zweli , you blame yourself , come on love you the most loving person I know and you have a heart of gold, if he did not appreciate you than that his loss love , but don’t blame yourself for him being stupid to realize your wealth  “
Me : “ guys you don’t understand he dump me “
Pam hugged me , “ it's going to be ok boo “
Me : “ will it be Pam ?, I made a stupid mistake and I’m left to pick up the pieces “
Zoe : “ come on Portia , don’t do this to yourself “
They all hugged me and I felt like screaming
Zoe : “ yazi uNkonzo does not deserve you “
Mpume : “ ‘I’m just disappointed I mean I thought he was different “
Pam : “ inja nje ... nxa !“
Me : “ I’m pregnant “
Silence .... it felt like the time stopped for few seconds and the earth stop revolving
Zoe looked at me “ angizwanga “
Me : “ I’m pregnant , its not Nkonzo ... I che.. cheated ,on him “
Mpume : “ Portia !! “
Me : “ it was a stupid mistake and it happened “
Pam : “ oooh my god you poor thing are you ok ?“
Ok this was not a response I was looking for  but their look was of consent instead of judgmental
I just broke down and cried again , Mpume gave me another embrace
Me : “ I don’t know what to do , I’m so scared , I’m all alone “
Mpume : “ kusho bani , sikhona nje thina “
Me : “I’m sorry for keeping this from you guys but I was so embarrassed , “
Zoe : “no one is perfect Portia we can never judge you  “
After talking with my girls  I felt so much lighter I even told them how my mom passed away and they made a joke about that “ apple doesn't fall far from the tree , “ yep that can only be Zoe , we talked and laughed till Gugu called Pam , she put the phone on loudspeaker
Pam : “ G.U “
Gugu : “ yeyinina , come get amadoda enu lana , who said my house is hosting an after tears ? “
We bust out and laughed ,it can only be Gugu
Zoe : “ you got any thing to drink lapho ? “
Gugu : “ off course “
I shook my head , she is highly pregnant but still drink like a fish  , Gugu send me a long sms this morning for not attending the funeral apparently she was not feeling ok ,
Zoe : “ I guess we gate crushing ladies “
Me : “ aish I wish I can come along “
Pam : “ no you can not , wena go rest and take it easy , because tomorrow we girls are having lunch “
Me : “ I will like that “
We hugged and they left

I waited for Lucky to wake up , I was in his hospital room the whole time , He looked at me and frowned
Him: Advocate Smith how can I help you with ? “
Him : “ good so now I don’t need to ask because you already offered to help ,” I stood up put my hands on my pocket and walked around “ ‘I’m handling your ex wife murder case “
Him : “ you ? “
Me : “ yes me and you know I never loose my cases “
Me : “ I can not afford you !“
I laughed  and shook my head “vele you can not , but I’m only doing this for my partner she is friends with your Ex-wife and in order for me to wife her I need to win this case , and you going to help me “
Him : “ I don’t understand “
Me : “ you getting discharged later on today “
Me : “ I am? “
Me : “ and tomorrow you will be attending a meeting with me  “
He looked at me “ I still don’t understand “ 
Me : “ you will soon , I don’t want to make your life massy and shity than it already is so your full cooperation will be highly appreciated “
I walked out with out saying goodbye , i advise my P.A to send the letters to the Biyela family that I drafted , when I work everyone work so that why I keep my firm the best law firm, I called a private investigator
Me : sho boy ... “
Him : sho ngamla “
Me : “I need you to dig out dirt for me “
him: Name ?"
me :“ detective Lucky Nene “
Him : “ give me 48hrs “
I dropped the call , this guy is good I need to give him a raise , well Lucky thought he will get off scot free from this  case , well he got something coming I don’t condone women abuse so this is just a personal matter  for me now so lets get this show on the road , there is no need to slowly remove the bandage let it ripp  and let the shit hit the fan , besides I need to have a getaway trip with my other half and my kids  and  if this case delay it will mess up my love life blind.
