1 YEAR LATER

I'm officially a student, I was planning on studying online while working, but my newly found father had other plans he told me to study full time I'm still young I can still study for what I've always wanted I tried to tell him that now I have a child that's need me to take care of he was like child please lengane yakho iphakathi komhlani nembeleko akasazoze aswela, I tried ukuvika ngo gogo she also was against me, I had no choice but to study full time truth be told ngyakunqena ukufunda Mina ingakho benginokungabaza nje. Anyway I've decided to do teaching it wasn't always my first choice but ke times have changed.

I'm still staying at home with granny and Qhawe even though Kukude eskoleni, I didn't want to rent and leave my grandmother alone. Qhawe goes to daycare now he's so grown, uMuzi is still a great father his the one taking care of u Qhawe financially now even though I tried ukuth kube half half, he said I should focus on school and not worry about imali. He is still very much married u Amanda refuses to sign divorce papers, wathi nje she won't sign because he wants to play happy family with me and Qhawe I guess she's hoping for him to change his mind and go back to her. Lapho I have feelings for the guy kodwa I won't even act on them while he is still married maybe I will have to move on soon I can't wait forever coz I don't see Amanda changing her mind soon.

Amahle and I are still best friends we see each other almost every weekend, mangiphuma early eskoleni ngiyayakobabona beno Sakhile, Sakhile has his own place now, oh and a fiance u Iyana we get along very well. U Sakhile is a still the best brother and uncle.

I'm still staying at home with my Mother, I'm thinking of moving out soon but first I'm taking Amanda to court I know I should have done so long time but I kept thinking she'll change her mind and sing still nothing, I can't even move on with my life, I'm so Inlove with Nandipha, I can see she also loves me but the fact that I'm married is holding us back. Everytime when I try to make a move she ask about my marriage I really need to get this over and done with, I can't lose her angaze athole umuntu eskoleni ongenazo inkinga njengami.

I've just came back from fetching my son from daycare he's spending the night here, yaz everytime I look at him I think back the time I almost became a deadbeat father, now I can't imagine my life without him, I can't believe I almost didn't have children just because Amanda never wanted them cishe ngaziphuthisela ukuba umzali kumnandi ukuba nje nomuntu to look up to you is the best, I still want more children but only if it with Nandi, I really need to sort out my life if I want that though.
