Ay this shit is really messed up, so me and my wife we are having problems, that day we had a huge fight then I just decided to go out with the guys that when I saw this girl she was so beautiful and drunk too. I was watching her the whole night that I ended up being drunk also, I saw her going to the dance floor I went to dance with her.
Me : "do you want to get out of here" I ask while dancing with her I'm not even sure why I asked that coz I'm not one to cheat we may have problems with my wife but I love her.
Her : "Yes let get out of here" I could see she was really drunk but also me being drunk didn't help, so I called an Uber to take us to my hotel room I knew I wouldn't go home so I just booked my self a room.
When we got there one thing led to another, we fell a sleep I woke up first in the morning I just didn't know what to do I've never cheated I looked at the girl she looks young and innocent, she's a beauty though, I decided then to just go so she won't see me, I left a note and some cash and I was gone.
When I got home my wife was still sleeping so I went to the guest room I showered.

Weeks went by that when I started to get sick, I would throw up and I would wake up very tired and the mood swings I didn't know what was the problem, my wife also wondered. One day I went home I found mom in the kitchen making breakfast and the smell wasn't appealing I puke
Mom : "Aibo kwenzenjan Muzi waphalaza"
Me : "Ey Mah angazi kwenzakalani izinto zinginukela kambi ngiyaphalaza njalo ekseni" Ayke umuntu wavele wakikiza, I'm so confused coz angazi kwenzakalani
Mom : "Awu Nyambose!!" aybo did I miss something wa happy kangaka umuntu
Me: "Mah, yini ejabulisayo ngokugula kwami"
Mom : "Ngijabuliswa ukuth sengizoba ugogo umakoti ukhulelwe wena uthathe ukugula, morning sickness"
Me: "Mah yabona Le oyshoyo ayikho"
Mom :" mmmh ok" she says that smiling and humming, lapho Mina I know for a fact that my wife is not pregnant.
Time went on and I was still sick I went to the doctor cos I was starting to think it serious the doctor said the same thing my mom said. So hearing what the doctor said I asked my wife
Me : “baby ayikho into ofuna kungtshela yona? "ngibuza ngyasmile nothing would make me happy then to hear that my wife is pregnant.
Amanda :" Ay lutho myeni wami, yindaba" my smile drop a bit maybe she'll tell me when she's ready
Me : "ay akulutho mama" I say kissing her goodbye going to work.

Months passed still nothing besides if there was something It would be showing now, but my mom was convinced that I got someone pregnant coz the sickness went on for some time but I was like no that's not possible till the time I went to the mall and I bump into this heavily pregnant lady it was her the girl from that night , I just became pale I didn't know what to say, but I could see she was confused by my reaction. Kodwa ngingagileka yin kanje with my wife things are not great but we are trying to work it out, if she were to find out I cheated that would be the end of our marriage.

When I saw her again today I was tempted to talk to her but I got cold feet, but if that's my child I would want to have a relationship with him / her I don't know what to do this is a mess...
