Chapter 07

WRITTEN IN THE STARS: SEASON 2 07

SBANISENKOSI

A WEEK LATER

These past 9 months have been incredibly life changing for me. Its been a roller-coaster of emotions and physical changes. Now I'm counting days till I actually welcome my daughter into this world. I'm receiving support from people who really care about me and above all of that, my baby's daddy is out here being the best person on this earth.

I'm here preparing for my baby's arrival and my heart is raising. I can't help but wonder what kind of mother I'm gonna be. Who is she gonna look like and will she cry all night? lord all of these thoughts are hovering over me. I genuinely don't know what's the deal with Adrianna and Nicole these days but I don't care. I have something even more bigger to care for.

“This top is the cutest..” Mbali says, we're in the baby's closet organizing her clothes, shoes and other stuff.

“Right? she's gonna look so cute in this. She's gonna have clothes for days, it's so full in here.” Luyanda says, I watch them fold the clothes and place them according to their colours.

“So have Adrianna and Nicole stopped acting crazy or should I get them again?” Mbali asks, we laugh. We may have outgrown some stuff but Mbali is still sticking to beat a b-tch if she's being disrespectful. The minute she came back and I told her what's up, she went on to confront them and trust me..they heard her loud and clear.

“They stopped, however Adrianna told Mrs Biyela that I'm conspiring against her and i don't want her near Christopher but you know my mother inlaw is fair when she sees the need to be fair right? she just told Adrianna what she needed to hear and what her mistakes were. Adrianna got upset and full on sent Christopher paragraphs saying that she wants nothing to do with him because he's not treating her like she's his sister heh kuningi.” I say, this past few weeks have been insane.

“She's just a b-tch that's spoiled. If Christopher wasn't her brother then I would've assumed that she's inlove with him.” Mbali says, I laugh.

“That would've been insane, I feel like she just wants her friend for Christopher but unfortunately, the man knows where his heart is.” I say.

“And you guys want to tell us you're not back together? ah fuck off.” Luyanda says, laugh.

“We aren't nje? it's just a cute parenthood.” I say, they shake their heads.

“Nkanyiso said he wants to take you guys to the sangoma so you can get back together.” Luyanda says, I roll my eyes.

“We tend to forget that you're in a relationship as well, eh? Alexander is a true definition of never giving up. He legit chased you for months and man? he finally knocked you down.” I say.

“Yeah yeah, but he's great though. He's an amazing guy shame, man knows how to use his waist.” She says.

“Please don't forget I'm single while you're talking about your people. I'm unfortunately single.” Mbali says and we laugh.

“We're going to hook you up on a blind date don't worry, you're gonna have a boyfriend that's a billionaire.” I say, she chuckles.

“I'm good for now, I'll sit here fantasizing about love and getting laid as well.” She says, she has been on a good progress for the past few months. I'm proud of her, I'm genuinely proud and I'm glad we got to fix things because I love her & she loves me as well. We love each other basically, not minding the fights and insults.

“You don't want to tell us the name of our princess still?” Luyanda asks, I shake my head.

“That's Nkanyezi's princess, correction.” I say, they laugh.

“Yazin? we must have babies too so we can tell you what you're telling us. You're crazy.” Mbali says.

“You won't be able to bear a heavy belly, it's tough here. My feet look like baked bread.” I say.

“It's a life changing experience mara shame. You're going to be a mother, eh you've grown haa.” Luyanda says, I sigh.

“Can you believe it? we were just going from one place to another to groove a year back and now I'm expecting a child. Crazy..” I say.

“Nna I'm genuinely happy for you. You deserve this bestie, we're gonna be in that delivery room with you waiting for little Sbani to arrive.” Mbali says.

“You guys are going to make me cry, stop it..” I say, they chuckle.

“Stop being a drama queen, let's go and make you some food. Your man will kill us if he comes back and you haven't eaten. He's gonna dislike us more..” Luyanda says. We walk out of the closet and out of the nursery, we head downstairs.

“This house is actually cool, I can already imagine the night view by that side.” Luyanda says.

“It is and Nkanyezi loves staring at the stars because apparently my name is written in the stars.” I say, they laugh.

“Kumnandi mos if your names are being written in the stars? now I wonder where my name is written.” Luyanda says, I laugh.

“Probably in the moon..” I say, we all laugh walking down the stairs. We head to the kitchen and I sit on the high chair.

“So he cooks for you day in and out? I don't think Nkanyiso knows where the pots are.” Luyanda says.

“I swear, after a few months. I'll learn how to cook and actually cook for him. I've never felt so bad.” I say.

“But he doesn't complain right? so don't feel bad. He has accepted you with what you cannot do and can do so chill babes.” Mbali says.

“And he's working as well to secure her future, I can just imagine the stress. At night, when I can't sleep. He stays up with me even when he's going to work the next day.” I say.

“Nkanyezi is a star..” Luyanda says, that's what he is.

“I feel like our baby is about to have the best dad ever, the way he's working hard? he's literally taking care of me and the baby. If I was alone, I wouldn't have been able to take care of myself this much. Stress would've swallowed me up shame.” I say.

“Appreciate that man in your life entirely baby, not every man is like that. He literally changed for you and for someone you met in the club?he's doing an incredible job.” Mbali says, I nod. I do appreciate him now, overlooking my mistakes and behavior. I appreciate this star..

“What do you want to have? nothing too oily right?” Mbali asks.

“I feel like eating something cold, I don't want any food for now. An appetite is not what I have right now.” I say.

“Okay so what can i make for you? some fruit salad and ice cream nyana?” She asks, I nod.

“That's also okay, I don't want to not sleep tonight because of a burning heart and sweating body.” I say.

“Don't worry, i got you.” She says, Luyanda takes out a bottle of champagne.. too bad I can't have any sahna..

“You're so mean..” I say, she laughs.

“You said he mustn't pull out, there are the consequences my dear.” She says pouring herself a glass, oh God..
