[NARRATIVE]

"R10 ummbila, R10! R10!" Nobuhle is shouting on top of her lungs walking around the rank with a basin full of boiled corn. She prefers selling here because of the large crowd. The taxi drivers are her number one buyers "R10 Bo!" She continues shouting. The sun is out and hot but she has no choice. She has kids to feed. She has to go back home with something at the end of the day.

Manyadza is also selling. He has his table of all kinds of snacks. When Nobuhle refused for them to go back to Johannesburg he decided to also settle here. The business is going though he had doubts. Nobuhle stays with her parents while he stays at a cottage. They only spend weekends together. He's working hard so he can pay lobola for her. He loves Nobuhle and he wants to do things right.

Nobuhle spots Mahlathini's car driving in. At first she runs to hide behind one of the taxis. She knows she owes him an apology for all the drama and the shît she said that day. She's trying to change her life and asking for forgiveness from people she has wronged should be at the top of her list.

She takes one deep breath. Mahlathini steps out of the car and goes around it to open the other door. Thando steps out. He lifts her up and they begin walking toward Nobuhle's direction.

"Baba Ka Thando!" Nobuhle calls. Mahlathini stops looking around. When he spots her his face changes. He's not happy "Sawubona" Nobuhle greets placing the basin down on the ground "Hello Thando" Thando greets back with a smile. She's a nice girl. Mahlathini raised her well.

"What can I do for you?" Nobuhle clears her throat.

"I want to apologize ...for everything, all that I did and said. You didn't deserve it. You helped me because you're a nice person. I was ungrateful and disrespectful. I'm sorry" Mahlathini stares at her for a brief moment.

"I hear you. I hope nothing like that will ever happen again"

"It will never happen. Mama allowed me to come back home. Now I'm here selling so I can make some cash and support my kids" Mahlathini smiles faintly.

"That's good. I wish you all the best ...how much is the corn?"

"Oh, it's R10" he looks at Thando.

"Do you want corn" Thando nods.

"Give us 3" Nobuhle quickly squats down and puts the three corns into a plastic. Mahlathini takes out a R200 note and hands it to her.

"Keep the change" he says with a small smile. Nobuhle is in disbelief.

"Haah! Ngiyabonga, Thank you so much"

"Enjoy the rest of your day" Mahlathini says before walking away. Nobuhle blinks back the tears in her eyes and continues selling.

CONNIE

I've always read about how first time mommys get so obsessed with their babies that they can't even spend a minute away from them, well, that's me. I can't be away from Miracle even for a second. If he's still sleeping I will watch him, check it he's still breathing, I don't even sleep in our bedroom anymore. Jackson's mom thought it would go away after a week but it's been 5 weeks, the obsession is growing.

I've just finished bathing. I'm getting dressed in front of the mirror. Jackson is still taking a shower. We're meeting with the wedding planner today. We haven't really decided on the date yet, but it has to be before Miracle's 1st birthday. Yep. Jackson is rushing to just finalise everything so we can settle down. I'm not complaining. There's nothing I want more than changing my tittle to Mrs and finally taking his surname.

He walks out of the shower smoking hot. He recently got his gym equipment installed in the house, so the results are showing and I'm here wondering how the hell I'm gonna survive 5 months without sex. Tell me how?

He sneaks his arms around my waist and starts kissing my neck. I can feel his erect cock poking me. I turn around to face him. He kisses me before I go down on my knees. One thing I'll never do is let my man starve. Since he can't have my pussy, I give him oral or anal. There are so many ways to kill a cat. Take note.

"Fûck!" he holds my head as he guides his cøck in and out of my mouth. I gag and pull him out his juices flowing down my chin. I take him in my again. The same motion until he fills my mouth with his seed which gladly swallow. He smiles satisfied.

He kisses me in the forehead and starts dressing up while I go clean myself. When I come back he's sitting on the chair with Mnqobi. I'm probably the first woman in history who can't pronounce her child's name.

When Jackson suggested it I loved the meaning. Now I'm struggling, but I'm going to get it right. I have to.

"My boy is hungry" he says standing up from the chair. I sit and he hands him to me, I pull out my titty and Mnqobi finds it with his mouth. His Dad squats down and watches me feed him with a smile. I'm not the only one obsessed alright? "Were you serious that you won't give me another child?" He still remembers that?

"I was in labour. People say crazy things there"

"Right ...and get violent?" I'm laughing.

"You were provoking me Ngamela"

"I'm even thinking twice getting you pregnant again, uyashayana wena"

"Come on... I will give you as many kids as you want" he smiles

"Sure?"

"Love. Look at what we made? Who wouldn't want more of these?" He laughs and kisses me.

The wedding planner finally arrives later in the day. She's arriving with a whole crew we were not told about. I let her in the lounge and wait for her to explain about the extra guest she's bringing.

"So... I announced I was planning your wedding on my Facebook page. And People went CRAZY. You guys have no idea how much people adore you out there. That proposal video has millions of views. So I had sponsors blowing my inbox. From designers, catering to photographers and videography. They are offering their services for free! Obviously I had to choose the best and I did. I brought them with me today so you can explain to them what is it that you really want on your big day"

Wow.

"I don't even know what to say..."

"Yes' would be enough" she says with a wide smile.

God. I didn't even think this Facebook celebrity thing was this serious "They want to do it for free?"

"Yes, it would be an honour" one of them answeres with a smile. If this isn't luck, I don't know what it is.

NOKWANDA

She parks the car in front of Vusi's cottage and cuts the engine. His phone has been off the whole day. She had no choice but to come here and check what's going on. They didn't have any fight. He has no reason to just switch off his phone. They have so much to talk about. She hasn't told him about the pregnancy yet but she's planning to do it today so they can discuss a way forward and how they actually break the news to Mahlathini.

She steps out of the car. The lights are on in his cottage. He's here.

"Vusi!" She calls while knocking. She can hear voices inside "Babe!"

The door flies open and Vusi quickly steps out closing the door behind him. He's wearing nothing but boxers "Muntuza" he says with a wide smile before pecking her lips.

"Why is your phone off. I've been calling you the whole day"

"I misplaced my charger, I'll have to go buy it tomorrow. I'm sorry. How are you?" he asks stroking her cheeks.

"We have to talk" Nokwanda says attempting to walk in but Vusi stops her.

"It's a mess in there, can we go to the car?" She nods and Vusi follows her to the car. They get in and sit "So, what's up?" he says taking her hand into his. Nokwanda turns to face his direction.

"You love me right?" Visi smiles

"Of course Muntuza" he says and plants a soft kiss on her hand.

"I'm pregnant" Nokwanda blurts out. There's a smile on her face.

"Kanjani manje?" Vusi lets go of her hand and looks at her with a frown.

"Babe. We are pregnant, what do you mean 'kanjani?'" Vusi is looking at her in disbelief. Mahlathini is going to shoot him in the head.

"Have you told your brother?" he's already sweating. This is not only about Mahlathini shooting him in the head. He put him in charge to manage his taxis. If he finds out about this, it's all over. He will lose his job and everything. Nokwanda was not supposed to fall pregnant.

"Not yet"

"Good. You're not going to tell him"

"Oh yes I will, what's up with-"

"I'm not ready for a child Nokwanda. What we had was just fun, that's what we agreed on. You're going to get rid of that pregnancy"
