MONTHS LATER!!!
Milile pov:
I was currently busy with the final copy of my business plan on my laptop while Nqubeko had my feet on his lap massaging them as he watched his game.
Nqubeko: "I need more beer." I get my feet off of his lap so he can go to the kitchen.
Nqubeko: "Baby, do you need anything?" he asked startling me as I was focused on his phone that has just beeped.
Me: "Cela ifruit salad baby."
Nqubeko: "Okay." I check the text and it's from a Dr K and it read as so,
"Greetings Mr N, if you could maybe swing by later to get your results back."
Nqubeko: "What is it?"
Me: "A Dr K just said you can 'swing by' for your results. What results?"
Nqubeko: "Oh uhh..." he clears his throat.
Me: "Are you gonna talk or..?"
Nqubeko: "It was... okay I had went to the doctor because I had a slight problem with my little man. The doctor actually suspected it's prostate cancer."
Me: "What? and you didn't tell me because?"
Nqubeko: "I didn't want to scare you baby."
Me: "I'm coming with to get your results." he chuckles nodding. He hands me my bowl of fruits and sits next to me.

His phone rings and he answers and puts it on loud speaker.
Nqubeko: "Dabawo?"
Dabawo: "Hello my boy. How are you? How's makoti and usana." (the baby) okay i assume she's talking about uNasi.
Nqubeko: "Ewe siyaphila mama, nina ninjani?" (Yes, we are good. How are y'all?)
Dabawo: "Hhay mfana we are okay regardless of all the problems we face everyday."
Nqubeko: "mnhm"
Dabawo: "I called to tell you, it's time you come home with your wife."
Nqubeko: "Oh okay."
Dabawo: "And I don't mean during holidays, no! You should be here tomorrow morning."
Nqubeko: "But mama..."
Dabawo: "heeey! if you want to loose those kids your wife is carrying then carry on being stubborn."
Nqubeko: "What babies mah?"
Dabawo: "I told you months ago that your wife is pregnant and wena awandihoya."
Nqubeko: "Okay we will be there mama." I glare at this man next to me.
Nqubeko: "please baby, can we not argue now?"
Me: "We won't argue unless you tell why didn't you tell me what your aunt said?! Nqubeko!!"
Nqubeko: "I seriously didn't think she was telling the turth plus your body didn't have any changes nje.. baby!"
Me: "Nqubeko, i'm starting to doubt all of this, us, our marriage. The way you keep things from me? hhayi shame bhuti!!"
Nqubeko: "Baby."
Me: "mxm! futhi angiyi lapho mina, i'm not pregnant. I know my body and I won't be told by anyone else ngowami umzimba mina, mccm!" I walk off leaving him sitting there.
