Today I woke up so tired ay I can't wait to give birth ngeke phela. When I get to work I findMahle already at her post I just greet her and pass I'm a bit later. I knock on Mr Sokhulu's office, when I get in I find him with Thandi.
Me : "Goodmorning, I'm so sorry I'm late"
Mr Sokhulu : it OK, you not even that late
Thandi : "ay some people really don't respect their jobs uyaz baningi kanjan abantu abafuna umsebenzi" she says with so much attitude
Mr Sokhulu : "aybo kahle Thandi UYazi it her first time eba late" lapho Mina ngvele ngazithulela
Me :" Sir can I get you coffee"
Mr Sokhulu : "I've already ordered it on the way you can go back to work I'll call you to give me my schedule in a bit" I went back to my desk ngazenzela umsebenzi wami. I hate that Mina no Thandi we haven't fixed things. While working I get a call from the receptionist saying there's Mr Sokhulu Snr I've never met the guy.
I call my boss to let him know, he says OK, in a bit I see Thandi getting out of his office guess she's going now. I see Mr Sokhulu Snr approaching I can tell it him coz he really looks like Sakhile. I get up with a smile
Me : Goodmorning sir, you can go in he's waiting for you
Mr Sokhulu snr : "Sawubona ntombazane ubani igama " he says this looking at me straight in the eyes that I even get shy and look away.
Me: "ngingu Nandipha baba" I reply trying to smile the man scare me
Mr Sokhulu Snr : "awunasbongo?" wow rude much
Me : "Ngowaka Maseko baba" with me saying that the man just went pale
Me : "Ngabe khona inkinga baba" I ask concerned phela nangu muntu ezomelwa inhliziyo phambi kami kant khona into engnayo yin this is starting to get to me phela this is not the first guy to do this, ngaqala manje ngazibuka maybe there is something wrong about me.
Mr Sokhulu Snr :" ayi akukho lutho ntombazane" he says that walking away, well that was akward. I carry on working I'm a bit stressed phela manje.
Later on he comes out with Sakhile they are talking when they get to me, again with the staring but now he asks this.
Mr Sokhulu Snr :" Ubani igama la mawakho" I tell him, he is shocked but trying to hide it
Sakhile :" aibo baba wase umbuza umawakhe uyamazi yin, yaz ngeke ngithuke yabona kodwa ufana kanjani no Aunty hlampe ingane yakhe nje esingayazi" we laugh but his father just give him a stare.
Mr Sokhulu Snr :" Musa ukukhuluma umsangano wena.. Miss Maseko it was nice meeting you" he says walking away
Mr Sokhulu : "ay yin vele inkinga yakhe"
Me : "asazi ubabakho moss" I say laughing
Mr Sokhulu : "ay buyela emsebenzini" he say going back to his office.
While working I got a call from Mr Mthethwa's PA he's asking to meet with my boss, I tell her I'll get back to her
Me : sir I just got a call from Mr Mthethwa's PA he's asking to meet with you
Mr Sokhulu : "wow that was fast, yazi bengith he'll get back to me in a few weeks"
Me :" I guess it wasn't a hard decision, what do i tell him"
Mr Sokhulu : "tell him we can meet tomorrow morning" I get back to work and I call the PA, she says he'll come here.

I've been thinking on what to do and I decided to just go to her work place, I'm hoping we can talk before anything. I don't know what I'm hoping for about this meeting coz if this turn out to be true my wife will surely leave me, I don't know how I'll live with that. I know for a fact that my wife doesn't want kids of her own but maybe when she find out she'll forgive me and who knows we can even raise this baby together, I mean the mother seem young to raise the baby on her own. Argh look at me getting ahead of my self let me just do one thing at a time, tomorrow I'll just tell Sokhulu everything and hear if he can help. I really want kids I know I may have said it fine for my wife if we don't have kids but deep down I want them, that's why I was hoping she's pregnant.
When I get home I find her busy working, my wife is what you call beauty and brains, she's working as an accountant at some company she's really good at her work.
Me: "Sawubona mama" I greet her smiling it always get to her when I greet her in Zulu, look at her blushing
Amanda : "Sawubona, Belunjan usuku lakho" she asks kissing me
Me :" belufana nawe nje sthandwa sami olakho" we can be lovey dovey kodwa sixabana manje futh, sometimes when I talk to her I just keep it short just so we won't end up arguing it tiring.
Amanda : "it was good love, hamba uyokhumula I'll order for us" I really wish to come to a home cooked meal one day but ke, I just go to change, I lay down a bit just thinking about this situation maybe if I tell my mother she'll know what to do, I wish me and my brothers were close maybe it would have been better if someone knew about this. Let me go eat it been a long day, I've got a feeling tomorrow will be long as well...
