DIANA

 

It was a Saturday noon, I was with my sister we were at spa. The weather , it was very sunny today.

 

Nairobi : how funny it is to think that you invited me to a spa.

 

Me : you are my sister, this shouldn’t be funny.

 

Nairobi : to me it is, you hardly call for us to go out on dates.

 

Me : you should just appreciate that today I did right.

 

Nairobi : I can my afford this , so I see no reason on why I should appreciate this.

 

I rolled my eyes.

 

Nairobi :you havent changed.

 

Me : hello , im still staying in south Africa  not Nairobi .

 

She chuckles slightly.

 

Nairobi : im still older than you.remember that.

 

Me ; will you ever stop being older than me ?

 

She chuckles again.

 

Nairobi : how is Lorenzo ?

 

Me : he's good I can say, he's still the old  Lorenzo .

 

Nairobi : he seems to be taking care of you , look how you have gained wait .

 

I smiled .

 

Nairobi : or unless you carrying a junior Renzo in there.

 

Me : what? No !

 

Nairobi : what ? You cant be gaining so much wait and say no .

 

Me : yes I can.

 

Nairobi : you carrying junior there.

 

Me: no I aint, I only have two twins , Cane And Almeria.

 

Nairobi : you telling me that since 17 years ago ,you don’t have more kids with Lorenzo ?

 

Me : no we don’t.

 

Nairobi : he's not giving you sugar on the right places right?

 

I gasped…

 

Me: Nairobi … no Lorenzo is giving me sugar on the right places.

 

Nairobi : unless there's a pill cause you and I damn right know that  lorenzo would never hit it with gloves on.

 

I drank my wine …

 

Nairobi : aha there's a pill,you preventing and he doesn’t know about it right.

 

I kept quiet.

 

Nairobi : wow. Diana, wow. Look at me .

 

I didn’t.

 

Nairobi : I said look at me Diana.

 

I looked at her .

 

Me : I thought it was the best thing to do after going through the pain I went through with the twins, I wasn’t planning on having kids anytime soon back there.

 

Nairobi : then why hide it ? Hide it from him .

 

Me : Lorenzo will never understand, hes a man , he doesn’t go through labor pains.

 

Nairobi : and what do you do for a living, the last time you told me you wanted to pursue your dream.

 

Me : nothing , as you said im gaining wait, meaning that lorenzo is taking good care of me ,then I don’t need to work.

 

Nairobi : hello ,this is South Africa Mrs Ndlovu . That’s not what I meant, if you doing nothing that means you are depending on him, you just sit at home and eat his money, doing nothing, basically you not contributing anything besides your vagina . Which is not enough cause you aint bringing anything out of that vagina of yours and guy Is handsome meaning he can get it anywhere he wants while you seating at home , don’t you know that thing does get tired .

 

She sipped her wine.

 

Nairobi : im sure it is already tired since from high scOhol. Hai seyivulekile phela leyo. ( its already open )

 

I gasp and she looks serious.

 

Nairobi ; mtase uma seyivulekile, indoda iya hamba, he will go get it somewhere, whilst You waiting for him in your fancy lounge. Give the poor guy another baby.

 

Me: no Nairobi I aint gonna trap Lorenzo with a baby.

 

Nairobi : you not trapping him , dumb sis, you already married to this nigga.

 

Me : well I'm not ready for another baby.

 

Nairobi : mhmm, so you don’t have any business of your own ?

 

I shook my head no

 

Nairobi : girl I see you aint afraid of going poor .

 

me: we will never go poor, there are hotels and restuarents.

 

She laughed.

 

Nairobi : whoa, whom do those hotels  belong to ? You ?

 

I kept quiet

 

Nairobi : stop playing with me wena . And no you wrong, Lorenzo would never go poor, but you will go poor, you don’t even have a back bone, what if he leaves you ?

 

Me : he would never do that, me and Lorenzo have been together since high school

.

 

Nairobi : and how sure are you that he hasn’t cheated on you ,not even once.

 

I kept quiet.

 

Nairobi ; you would never know  a man little sis.  Have a back bone for your life , a business or something. These men's a'int here to stay  forever, maybe they might but they do cheat, what happens if he falls in love with the woman he is cheating with? Or bewitch him ? I guess Lorenzo would never do that. Right ?

 

She chuckled .

 

Nairobi : all im saying is that, have a back bone mtasekhaya. I would go crazy to see you exit your fancy life style, because some dumb A$$ nigga cheated on you. Ok fine, im sorry he won't cheat on you, but have a back bone ,don’t get too comfortable, these 2k's  a'int here to  play. You have always wanted to pursue your dream ,this is your chance.

 

She held my hand.

 

Nairobi :im sorry if I went too deep, but I have been meaning to say this to you face to face. But I woudnt want to see you cry, I hate that you know that too, I would kill for you. I won't even hesitate to put a bullet on anyone who hurts you. Im back baby …

 

She screamed the last part. I smiled, I have myself a crazy suster. See it's just the two of us, me and my sister, me being the last born, Nairobi being the second one, James being the first one, may his soul rest in peace, he got caught up with the wrong guys , sentenced to prison and died there, he was stabbed. Father is also 12feet  under  , ma is the only one left including me and my sister. We chilled. Catching up on her life style. After a few hours of a da in spa , we called the day off, we both went our separate ways. I drove home to cook.  I took out kitchen from the kitchen and defrosted it, I was going apple on it . The side dish was a green salad. When I was done cooking I walked upstairs to check on my babies, when I got here , they were both busy, Cane has a busy life and Ria shes on to social media too much . Ria was not in her room, I walked to Cane's room , they were together, I relaxed.

 

Me : my beloved kids .

 

Cane : you do know that we are now old right ?

 

Me : to me you will always be babies.

 

I brushed his head and he moved .

 

Cane : ma . You are messing up my hair .

 

Me : im sorry.

 

Ria : ma, you look beautiful today.

 

I got a new hair style.

 

Me : thanks baby .

 

She smiled.

 

Me ; you kids , carry on with what you doing ,dinner is ready .

 

Them : will be down in a few.

 

I walked out , I walked downstairs to set up the dinner table. Lorenzo walks in

 

Lorenzo : you look  new.

 

I smiled an d he kissed me '

 

"eww. We still in the kitchen , "

 

It was Cane , his father chuckled. We sat down and ate dinner, conversing and staff. After we finished eating dinner, ria cleared the table and also washed the dishes, my daughter aint lazy. she does the house hold chores done  by a daughter. I walked upstairs to take a shower. I did my hygiene process, thinking about what Nairobi said earlier on, yes we might have been together from high school, I was not always with Lorenzo  , he could have cheated one or anything, I don’t know. When I was done I walked out of the shower and dried myself, then  applied lotion , when I walked back to my bedroom, Lorenzo was on his laptop, he knows we never bring work in our bedroom, theres a reason for a study being there .

 

Lorenzo : I was looking into todays budget. You spent more than you do.

 

Me : ohw I was at a day spa with Nairobi.

 

Lorenzo : and you spent this much I  less than 10 hours.

 

Me : the last time I checked, the statement was "  there's no limit "

 

Lorenzo : I know, but you lay low.

 

Me : oh…

 

Lorenzo : yes dee, you need to lay low, this money doesn’t grow on trees.

 

Me : ouch, I will lay low.

 

He sighed .

 

Lorenzo ; how was your day ?

 

Me : better today, I guess, getting some day out was nice than sitting here in this house all day long,.

 

Lorenzo : whats that supposed to mean ?

 

Me : I have needs Lorenzo Ndlovu

 

Lorenzo : I  here to provide for your needs and wants.

 

Me : no Lorenzo ,  I cant be sitting here all day doing nothing, cook , wait for you to return from where ever you coming from, sometimes you come back with bloodied clothes and I have to wash them.

 

He exhaled.

 

Me :   I miss challenges. I want to be me, I want to be independent . I cant be cooped in this mansion like a prisoner, my whole life, it feels like I'm a prisoner.

 

Lorenzo ; I'm trying to protect you Dee.

 

Me : this is more than protection, you tell me what to do and not what to do, you control me, I want to be free Lorenzo Qhawe Ndlovu.

 

I wore my under garments and got under covers.
