So today is my son is being discharge, even though the doctors are against it but they are not doing anything saying they can't diagnose him since they don't find what wrong with him. As his mother I have to make a tough call, I'll do anything for him to get better.
Muzi is fetching us to take us straight to his home, we'll be back tomorrow I really hope this works.
Me : "gogo can't you go with us? Ungihambisa ngedwa kubantu engabazi" I'm scared really those people are strangers how will they receive me
Granny : "uzoba ryt Nandi, you know I can't go with you but I'll call every hour just to make sure you are ok"
Me : "kulungile gogo I know I have to face this alone, ukukhulula ngeke kungisize ukusaba kunomuntu othembele kumina manje" while we were talking kwafika uMuzi
Muzi : "are you ready to go?"
Me : "yeah, let's save my son" ihlo!
Me : "sorry our son" I don't really like that owami loyamuntu, he takes the bag ugogo uzilethile izinto esizozidinga, we walk to his ward he's is so peaceful but not a good thing for me.
Muzi :" sumuqambile kodwa?"
Me : "ugogo did, igama lakhe u Qhawe" I say looking at him smiling I can't wait to see those eyes but ngath I traitor Le, I've been trying to find something that's look like me angboni lutho so I'm hoping the eyes are mine he can't do me like that.
Muzi :" that is a good name" I can see kuthi he likes it, even if he didn't though I wouldn't care coz I like it. Maybe I'm still going to warm up to him.
We are in the car and it quiet uyasho we are strangers, we get to this yard wow this is beautiful, I guess ikubo
Muzi :" sesifikile let's go in" wow cha kuhle kubo. When we get inside we find his father's and a women I think his mom, the moment she sees us she gets up beaming
Woman : "oh kodwa nkosi umzukulu kagogo" she says taking him from me atleast seems like she likes him.
Woman : "haibo Muzi uwena usamncane phela lo" ngendlela I smile ngayo, I did say lomtana betrayed me.
His father :" sawubona ntokazi" sengkhohliwe to greet, phela lo mama uvele wangi hijack
Me : "yebo baba niyaphila?"
Uncle : "ay siyaphila, Muzi hamba uyokha amalahle. Sizomushisela impempo kphela since kuphuthuma but when he's a bit old we'll do imbeleko for him" I nod uMuzi wayakokha amalahle
His father : "asihambe siyeku round khona sobika" sahamba we sat down, ay his granny is not letting him go, wafika namalahle.
It was quite in this room, the moment befaka impepho emalahleni, washo umtanami ngelingakanani izwi, the way engine happy ngakhona I just cried feeling relieved. He takes him to impepho wakhulumake, wamletha athi his hungry kambe there's that angazi nokuth kunceliswa kanjan.
Mamlaba : "woza sisi, siye ngale I'll show you" I guess she could see I was scared. I took him and wow I have a very cute baby with beautiful eyes he's just looking at me, now I can see what Lomama was talking about uyafana no baba wakhe lomuntu, it clicked to me just how Muzi is handsome, wow.
Mamlaba : "OK hlala LA and be comfortable, hold him like this" she's showing me how to breastfeed the moment he took my breast to his mouth I knew that I don't like breastfeeding kubuhlungu ay kancane, bakithi my son must have been so hungry
Me : ngyabonga kakhulu, ugogo bengakangikhombisi
Mamlaba :" I'm honored to be the one to teach you with my first grandson, ubani igama lakhe"? "I tell her she smile and says it beautiful
Me:" Ngyabonga gogo named him our little hero "I say smiling ay muhle umtanami
Mamlaba :" you must be hungry ngyaz phela ukudla kwasesbhedlela kumbi, let me go make lunch, phumula I'll call you when I'm done" I guess I'll be using this room I rest a bit, uQhawe is also sleeping I'm a bit scared kuthi he won't wake up. A while kwafika uMuzi
Muzi : "how are you feeling"
Me : "I'm happy, thank you for doing this, I don't know what I would've done"
Muzi : "don't, I'm happy to help he is my son, anyway umah said to call you lunch is ready" I get up to wash my face
Me : "OK asambe" he takes uQhawe and it like he is seeing him for the first time ngendlela a smile ngayo
Me : "ay ngeke asambeni I'm hungry mina" ngyazidlela ke Mina shame.
We were busy eating when we heard a car pull up outside, after a bit I saw a very beautiful woman comes in when she saw us she was furious, kaze what's her problem.
Woman : "oh! I see I've been replaced with a child on top" she says giving me a stink eye, I'm so confused or Maybe I girlfriend ka muzi
Muzi : "Amanda please" he says in a hush since he's holding Qhawe
Amanda : "I see you've got what you wanted, since I didn't want to give you one you couldn't wait to play father to your basterd son"
Me : "woah! Sis asazani ngcela ungalinge ubize ingane yam kanjalo maw unenkinga khuluma no muntu wakho please"
Amanda :" uzokwenzani wena homewrecker" aybo kshuth umuzi ushadile? Phela a girlfriend can't call me that
Me : “sis njengoba ngshilo nje NOT MY SON! "
Mamlaba :" OK!! Makoti ngcela uhlale phansi no one replaced anyone here, please"
Amanda : "Oh Please Mah, wixoki how can you invite another woman here because of my husband Mina ngingazi" she just confirmed I look at muzi so he's a cheater aybandla
Muzi : "Amanda ungakhulumi no Mah kanjalo, I told you everything and apologised but you made it clear you didn't want anything to do with this u mah bezokutshela kanjan, nami wangixosha endlini"
Amanda : "oh so ukuthi ngakuxosha gave you the right to bring another woman here"
Muzi : "it not even like that ingane bigula he had to come here azoshiselwa impempo bengeke akwazi ukuza yedwa" he says defeated, now I kinda understand why Amanda is being like this she's hurt
Amanda : "so, iyona mpilo ofuna ngiphile Le? Kuzogula ingane and you going to leave everything uyoybona and mekumele izelana izoza nomawayo" shame Mina ngyashesha nokuzwela
Muzi : "cha, sthandwa Sami ngeke kube njalo sizozama indlela to work through this"
Amanda :" is this what I get for not wanting children to see you playing happy family with another woman?"
Muzi : "please you know kwakungekho njalo and I couldn't walk away from my blood"
Amanda : "Muzi I don't want this child anywhere near my marriage, if you want children I will give you one" tjo isgaxa phela lesi
Muzi : "you can't ask me to not care about my son Amanda, it fine I'll respect you he won't come to our house mangi funa ukumbona I'll come here uzofikela la kuMah" shame umtanami he's going to have a limited time with his father, yaz this is one of the reasons why I didn't even try to look for this guy coz I knew I can give my son the love he deserves not some stolen time.
Amanda :"good and you will delete her number if she want something she'll talk to your mother and she will tell you" shame poor Mamlaba bamufaka ezindabeni ezingahlangene naye, but she can rest assured I don't want anything from her husband
Me : "I'm sorry but this is bullshit, I won't allow someone who his love comes with conditions in my son's life, he deserves better than that, if you can't give him that I'm sorry but you won't see him at all, I was good raising him by my self and it seems like I'll continue to do so because all these demands are ridiculous, how can you expect umuntu omdala to be your messenger? Ngeke aphile impilo yakhe yena? I'm sorry but mukhipheni nje lapho. Muzi I know you wanted to do the right thing but your situation doesn't allow you, I'm sure Amanda can give you children ozobathanda freely but Mina I can't let my son go through that, just fix your marriage have children and forget about this one."
Mamlaba :" please Nandi dont take my only grandson away" she says in a verge of tears
Me : "Mah I'll never do that to you, you showed me ukuth umyathanda uQhawe so I wouldn't take him away from you, you are welcome to come see him anytime and masekhulile naye uzokuvakashela" u Muzi nje bamudonsa ngekhala from what I've seen in this short time, uzovumelana nayo yonke into eshiwo umfazi wakhe
Mamlaba : "Ngyabonga ngane yami"
Muzi : "Nandi you can't say that this is my son too"
Me : "uzoba yini nesikhathi naye, will he see you anytime?" wavele wabuka phansi
Me : I thought so, please can I go home today?
His father : "angiyiboni inkinga mtanami"
Me : "ngyabonga kunina nonke, I'll go take my things."
Mamlaba :" I'll take you home"
Me : "Thank you Mah"
