Amahle's Diary 4

Part 16

#DAMON

I truly did not know how I was going to tell my wife that I'm defending the most dangerous criminal in SA. She is going to murder me and then there's Siya... Good lord I'm doomed I swear! I was in the office trying to figure out how am I going to get this man's prison time reduced. I don't even understand how he's not using his connections to stay out of prison. He's stayed away for so long surely a few more years wouldn't hurt. Just then Siya walked in

Her: Mr Bess

Me: Miss Ndaba... You seem happy

Her: it's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, birds are singing... what more can anybody ask for

Me: I take it this has to do with a man?

I didn't see Siya yesterday. my meetings were all in town

Her: may.....be

Me: and his name starts with a Z and ends with an isa...?

She blushed even more. She was happy for a change since her divorce and it was genuine happiness. I felt worse about what I'm doing.

Her: yes...

Me: do I have to ask or are you going to sit there and turn pink all day

Her: ok fine I'll tell you... Better yet lemme show you

She put a baby scan in front of me.

Me: what's this?

Her: I'm pregnant asshole!

Me: you lie!

Her: I'm a month pregnant Mr Bess

I got up to hug her and congratulated her. She was happy and I was not about to ruin that happiness. She's been needing pure joy and this was her chance for it.

Me: I'm so happy for you and Zukisa. He must be over the moon

Her: you have no idea. He made me warm up to the idea even

Me: I'm sure he did. Mahle will freak

Her: I'll tell her when we meet up Friday so don't tell her ok

Me: lips are sealed!

I said imitating sealed lips and she laughed. Another secret to keep from my lovely wife. After work I decided I was going to tell her about the case before she reads about it or watches it on tv. I was panicking so I went to the store to buy junk and her fave, Ferrero Roche and magnum then went home. I was hoping the junk would kind of speak for me... you know

#AMAHLE

The weekend went well for my family and I. I didn't confront mom instead I decided to drop it as she had her intentions for going about the situation the way she did, well Damon made me drop it; it wasn't by choice or up to me. It was Tuesday after work and I was headed home with Iyana from work, we were in the car and she was telling me about school.

Me: they taught you guys a song?

Her: yes

Me: what does it say?

Her: ndino mama ndonwabile. Xa ndinjonge ubuso bakhe ethetha, nomcumo lwakhe encuma. (I have a mom I'm happy. When I look at her face talking and her smile when she smiles)

Me: sounds very beautiful

Her: teacher said she will teach us more tomorrow

Me: sounds very beautiful my baby I love it
