AT THE HOSPITAL
*** Alphalette is already back at the hospital, Mpande left with his son AJ the previous night and he took him to his mother’s house...He already told her about Masai being admitted and she didn’t have a problem with taking care of her grandson. He slept in his car in the parking lot right after he talked to the doctor, his heart is heavy and he’s trying by all means to stay strong for Masai and his son....His phone rings and its Gaza calling***
Alpha: Gee
Gaza: hey how is she
***Alpha sighed***
Alpha: not too bad but she hasn’t woken up since they put her in an induced coma
Gaza: what did the doctor say
***Alpha sighed again***
Alpha: that she probably passed out immediately after the punch and when she hit the ground the was no support from her body to minimize the lading so she hit the ground hard more especially with her head
***he rubbed his head clenching his jaws***
Alpha: the doctor said they took her for a CT scan and she has some swelling on her brain so they are monitoring it and giving her medication to stop it.... something like that
Gaza: eish
Alpha: she has a disease called Lupus so her body is weak and she also has a weak immune system and her twin knows that but she still hit her that hard...and what kind of fist did she hit Masai with that did this to her
Gaza: mmmmh maybe she’s taking defence classes or...
***he kept quiet as if he’s thinking of something***
Gaza: or someone trained her or something
Alpha: yeah maybe but to do that to her twin....i mean she’s not even remorseful...she kept saying I shouldn’t have loved Masai as if Masa doesn’t deserve to be loved
Gaza: wanya nxa
Alpha: I should’ve done background checks on the Rapula family when I found out I have a child with Masa and maybe something about Moera the twin would have popped out...There’s something off about her man
Gaza: off how
***he asked curiously ***
Alpha: I always thought she’s overprotective over Masai and again she used to route for us wa bona then all of a sudden she changed and It’s not about her having a crush on me, this is something deep im telling you....i can’t figure out what but something is off...ku nuhwa matjimba la( something is off here ) and im gonna find out what’s going on cause she can’t change out of the blue unless she has been pretending all along
Gaza: or maybe she’s jealous of her twin and feels like she deserves Masai’s happiness....there are people like that out there I mean look at Mdu, what he did to me....it might not be the same cause Masai and Moera are twins while Mdu and I are cousins.... but in our culture he’s my brother cause his mother and our fathers are siblings so we grew up being close the three of us so yah, imagine him sleeping with my wife and getting her pregnant then boast about it to me and he’s not even remorseful about his betrayal cause I know he’s still f*cking her as we speak
***Alpha sighed***
Alpha: family hi matjimba sometimes ( family is shit sometimes)
Gaza: you can say that again....look I need a favour
Alpha: im listening
Gaza: can I have Javas’s numbers I need him to help me with something
Alpha: ummm ok....i hope its not about dealing with Mdu and his crew man....we talked about this Gee....you need to heal first..... Revenge is sweeter when best served cold
Gaza: im not gonna strike now so relax I just need info about someone and for his brother Heath to come and install security camera’s here since im leaving for a while, I want Tshimo to be safe
***Alpha sighed... he was relieved***
Alpha: ok I get you now....i’ll send them to you just now but I need to tell him about your reappearance first
Gaza: yeah you know how crazy he is
Alpha: well he just lost his daughter some time back and he’s still struggling with accepting his loss so don’t be insensitive
Gaza: what....what happened
Alpha: his wife f*cked a cultist who transferred his spiritual snake to her so she will transfer it to Jabu and Jabu would transfer it to their daughter for sacrificial purposes....The b*stard was killing two birds with one stone, sacrificing Jabu’s daughter and also having his wife
***Gaza sighed***
Gaza: what is this world turning into mara
Alpha: so he’s finding it hard to move on
Gaza: I would too man...anyway don’t forget the numbers
Alpha: sure we will talk later...shap
Gaza: Sharp
***he dropped the call and he sighed closing his eyes then he opened them again and started the car....he needed to shower and check on his son then he’ll comeback to be by Masai’s side ***

JABU’S HOUSE
***Lolly walked in the kitchen and found Jabu staring outside the kitchen window with a cup in his right hand and the left hand inside his left pocket.....She cleared her throat and he turned and looked at her***
Jabu: hey you are awake
Lolly: yeah what’s for breakfast
***she said looking around and Jabu sighed***
Jabu: cereal.... Ma left early in the morning
Lolly: umm why
***she said frowning***
Jabu: we had a fall out yesterday about....Amo....i didn’t like what she did....i know she meant well but she just...
***he sighed rubbing his face***
Jabu: I wasn’t ready to face her....her being here messed me up some more...i wasn’t ready to face her
***Lolly sighed***
Lolly: im sorry but like you said...she meant well....she thought she was helping her son to find closure cause she cant bare to see him suffer while she just sits and do nothing
***Jabu sighed putting his cup of coffee on top of the counter and he sighed facing up with his eyes closed....he then looked at Lolly who looked down because she couldn’t maintain eye contact***
Jabu: wena how are you feeling today
***she just shrugged her shoulders***
Lolly: I honestly don’t know
Jabu: uzoba right don’t worry
***she went to switch on the kettle and took out a clean mug and poured coffee inside and powder milk and she went to sit on one of the barstools in the kitchen***
Lolly: I was thinking
Jabu: mmh
Lolly: I want to move from KZN to this side.....permanently
***Jabu looked at her surprised***
Jabu: what
Lolly: yeah I mean my family or what is left of my family is this side and I just don’t feel safe anymore there....he was released on bail so what if he traffics me too just because I dumped him
Jabu: let him try... e ka nna motho wa mathomo wa go bona noga ya mosadi e ya periotong....yeses a ka nnyela bosepa ka molomo struu ( he’ll be the first person ever to see a female snake on its period...yeses he’ll poop using his mouth for real)
***Lolly laughed***
Lolly: bathong Jabu
***she laughed some more***
Jabu: kao chaela ( im telling you)....so don’t worry man but if you feel like the move is what you need then go right ahead....put your things in order and I’ll support you all the way
Lolly: thank you....but I feel sorry for my employees who can’t move with me
***she said going to pour hot water to her cup and added fresh milk from the fridge and she went to sit down again and she stirred her coffee***
Jabu: then open a branch this side...those who cant move will remain that side and keep the business going...you can even venture into other businesses this side while your Interior Design business is running that side....you already have someone running it when you’re not around so think about it thoroughly
***she smiled looking at him....she never get used to how smart he is and how business orientated he is***
Jabu: what
Lolly: mh mh
***she said shaking her head smiling a bit then she took a sip from her coffee ***
Jabu: im thinking you should also focus on Government interior design, Corporate interior design, Healthcare so on and so forth and not just Residential and Hospitality ....there’s money in that industry you just have to know people who knows other people and you’re set
Lolly: I know it’s just hard to get a tender especially in Government or Corporate....it’s either you sleep with someone to get it or you pay... I remember I once went to pitch my presentation to some company, they wanted to revamp their company....and you can guess what that fool wanted me to do with him to get the job....i refused and I didn’t get it....
***she sighed***
Lolly: so I focused more on smaller companies, Residential and Hospitality....there are creeps out there and with what I’ve been through im just scared that it might happen again and I know if it does I will never come out of that hole
***she shrug her shoulders and continued to drink her coffee and Jabu just sighed***
Jabu: re tlo ba right don’t worry (we will be fine don’t worry)
Lolly: call your mom Jabu and fix things and call Sbu too I miss him
Jabu: wena call him hau
Lolly: mxm wa bora
Jabu: go bora letsulu lele la gao la pipi enyane ( that Zulu of yours with a small penis is the one that is boring)
***he said chuckling***
Lolly: you didn’t just say that Jabu
***she said looking at him and he just smirked and put his cup in the sink***
Jabu: o nagana gore mo ke buka ya Hlomu the wife....a gona bo Mghele le bo Chawe mo, mo ke rena didomane diskhokho tsa kasi...mapara a go ja ko lesenkeng while out there o kopana le bo Bheki le bo Kenny makhenzo....bao ba tlao bontsha mrivithi girl...batlao bontsha kuku ya tshoswane bantse ba re ntokazi o chamega (you think this is Hlomu the wife book...there’s no Mghele and Chawe here, here its us well known hard-core guys of the hood.... while out there you meet Bhekis’ and Kenny makhenzos’.... those will show you hell on earth girl ....they’ll show you an ant’s p*ssy as you blush cause they called you my lady)
***he shook his head***
Jabu: le rata dilo bo Lorraine man....re le teng rena bo Mjava la itshotla blaen so...ai mara re tla reng askere Batswana ba rata gore “pelo e ja serati” then a e le jeng ge...e le nyofe e le nyofe until le bulega matlho le bone gore this is life not some fictional book (you like things Lorraine man.... why do you allow yourselves to suffer like this...ai what can we say Batswana likes to say a “loving heart knows no bounds” then let the heart deal with you all... it should chow you all until you open your eyes and realise that this is real life not some fictional book)
***he shook his head and walked away dialling his mother leaving Lolly with her mouth hung open***

AT THE HOSPITAL
***Doris, Vee and Hills walked to where Alphalette and Mpande are and immediately when Doris saw how drained Alphalette looked tears started running down her cheeks... The guys stood up as they approached, greeting are exchanged and everyone sits down***
Doris: how’s my baby
***Alphalette sighed***
Alpha: she’ll be fine with time
***Mpande looked at Hills who felt uncomfortable with his presence....She had lost a bit of weight but she was still a thick mama with glowing skin.....when you look at her you would think she’s Bubu Dlamini’s twin ***
Doris: what did the doctor say and where is Moera
***Alpha sighed***
Alpha: well the doctor said she passed out when the blow hit her so by the time she landed on the floor she hit it hard with her head
***Hills and Doris cried while Vee comforted Doris as tears ran down her cheeks***
Alpha: they took her for a CT scan and they found out that she has some swelling on her brain so they put her in an induced coma so the swelling in her brain subsides with the help of medication.... again her Lupus disease is worrisome to her doctor cause if she gets an infection...
***he shook his head***
Alpha: but she’ll be ok....She needs our prayers so come out of this stronger...she’s in a private high care room right now...i didn’t want her sharing her space with anyone to avoid infections....you can visit her anytime you want there’s no visiting hours there
***more cries***
Doris: thank you son...you’ll send me an invoice and I’ll pay you back
Alpha: she’s the mother of my child and I love her ma....i wanna make her my wife so this is me taking care of my soon to be wife so please let me
***Doris nodded feeling overwhelmed....she still blames herself***
Vee: hai metlholo ga ya bona ke bo Moshe hela, le rona ra e bona shem ( Moses is not the only one who saw unthinkable things, we are seeing them too ) .....with just one punch and Masai is in coma....e le gore le sure gore she punched her hela ( are you sure she just punched her)
***no one answered her***
Vee: yho
***she clapped her hands in a dramatic way***
Hills: as a traditional healer do you think she’ll be ok
*** She sniffed wiping her tears off and Mpande looked down....he was feeling some type of way about her....even her voice sounded sweet in his ears...he shook his head getting rid of those thoughts....she not his type and never will be that’s why when they had that three sum he f*cked Moera more than her...he couldn’t even kiss her or go down on her like he did with Moera***
Alphalette: yes she will...im not worried about her being ok physically im worried about her mental state....she loves her twins and this is gonna be a huge blow for her when she wakes up... her Lupus might flare up because of stress
***he sighed***
Alpha: but she’ll be ok don’t worry too much
Doris: where is Khai
Alpha: he’s safe with my mother
***Doris nodded***
Doris: I need to see her
Alpha: she’s in there...the nurse stationed to care of her will let you in
***Doris got up with Vee and they walked to her private high care ward while Hills stayed behind....she’ll go when they come out***
Hills: please don’t harm her
***Alpha looked at her so did Mpande***
Hills: I know you love Masa and you’re angry that Mo hurt the mother of your child but...please think of mama....Let her handle her the best way she knows how
Alpha: why do you think I would hurt Moera
Hills: cause right now I feel like beating the shit out of her for what she did
***Mpande chuckled shaking his head***
Mpande: with those tinny soft looking hands ungazodlala....uMoela will send you straight to heaven with just a slap I mean look at what she did to her own twin
***Hills gave him a death stare and he chuckled***
Alpha: Mpande no...
Mpande: ngiyazibuzela nje haw ( im just asking) cause she’s sure she can take on the mighty Helga
Alpha: not now man eish....
***he warned him***
Mpande: ai ok ke
***he shrugged his shoulders***
Hills: Well Mr these tinny hands managed to hold your tinny d*ck that time so im sure they can punch Mo how’s that
Mpande: askies
Hills: mxm you people with small disabled penises bark a lot...le bora gore ( you are a bore)
*** she said with an attitude and Mpande got up angrily and Alpha pulled him down roughly***
Alpha: wenzani.... sit!!!! ( what are you doing.... sit!!!)
Mpande: wena.....wena khulubuswe...feti boomboom nok’nuka uthini (you big fat with your smelly self what did you just say)
***he said pointing at her***
Alpha: that’s enough man.....we are in the hospital for fucks sake!!!!
***he said with an angry voice that startled Hills while Mpande just pointed at Hills with his ego bruised and Hills decided to concentrate on her phone scrolling on her Facebook timeline to avoid crying, she’s hurt by Mpande words... body shaming her like that...her dislike for him grew stronger after what he just said ***

LATER ON AT JABU’S HOUSE
***Jabu’s intercom rang and it was the police...he asked himself what they wanted in his house, he opened for them and waited by the open door as they walked towards him with Amo behind them and he sighed shaking his head***
Police: good day Mr Vilakazi
Jabu: sho... how can I help you officers
***he said looking at Amo who looked away when their eyes met***
Police: Mrs Vilakazi here asked us to accompany her to this house to come and take her things....she said she doesn’t feel safe to do so alone since you have a temper
***Jabu chuckled shaking his head....he had a lot to say but he decided otherwise cause he could tell she didn’t tell them about him pointing a gun at her***
Jabu: ok she can come in a tseye maratha a gae (and take her rags) ....but you two stay outside
Police2: didn’t you hear the part where I said she said you have a temper Mr Vilakazi
***he said with a firm voice and Jabu chuckled...amused that he thinks that tone will scare him***
Jabu: I have a temper Amogelang..
***he asked her and she didn’t say anything***
Jabu: wow ok...anyway the sooner she’s out of my life the better but the two of you are not allowed inside my house....you wanna plant things and frame me.... le tauwe ke chelete ya bribe ka le bona ( you must be drunk by bribe money you like collecting I see)
***Amo felt her heart break into piece when he said that***
Police1: that’s a serious accusation man
Jabu: sue me then nxa....no warrant to enter my house means no entry but die towenaar ( this witch) can enter and take marathanyana a gae ( her rags)
Police2: then you’ll stand here with us for her safety im sure you understand
Jabu: make it quick wena I have places to be
*** He said annoyed and the police officers sighed and told Amo to go in....She went in upstairs and she got to the main bedroom and tears filled her eyes....this was once her matrimonial bedroom where she lost her virginity and made her baby girl....tears ran down her cheeks and she quickly wiped them off***
Amo: you have to do this to save your marriage Amo.... If you don’t you’ll lose him to her...she’ll live your life while you suffer
***she said to herself and took out a packet with muthi inside and she sprinkled small amount of it under the mattress, she then went to the mounted wall unit wardrobe and she sprinkled some of it on Jabu’s clothes making sure the muthi is not visible then she went to his shoes and sprinkled some of it. She went to his drawers (underpants) and sprinkled some of it there too then she quickly put the packet inside her bag and took out her travelling bag and started packing her things.... Soon after the door opened and Amo jumped startled with her heart beating fast and Jabu walked in finding her packing***
Jabu: a wa utlwa ge kere ( didn’t you hear when I said) I have places to be
Amo: i...i...im almost done
***she said with her heart still beating fast***
Jabu: almost done ya masepa....fetsa daar before onnyela nxa ( finish there before I deal with you nxa)
***then he walked out leaving the door open clicking his tongue and Amo breathed out with her heart beating fast....she finished packing some of her clothes, shoes and bags and took them downstairs...she found Lorraine and Jabu sitting in the lounge and anger filled her heart....she hated Lorraine with every fibre in her body and even though she felt bad at first for what she did in the main bedroom now all that feeling is out of the window***
Amo: you couldn’t even wait for me to pack up and leave and already you’re making yourself the madam of the house
Lolly: im gonna ignore you cause you’re not thinking straight
***Amo laughed***
Amo: enjoy my house while it last mogirl and remember what the Lord hath joined together let no man put asunder...always remember those words
Lolly: I would remember those words if I was sleeping with him but im not f*cking your husband sweety...he’s just done with your evil self....maybe you should look in the mirror first before you blame others....no one send you to f*ck a cultist, you did out of your free will...look in the mirror and uyekele ukus’bora ( and stop boring us)
***Amo tried to say something***
Jabu: ey ey banna ba gao bao yemetse kontle so vaya ( your men are waiting for you outside so leave)
***She huffed and took her things outside and Jabu bend and put his elbows on his knees and he closed his eyes while swallowing a huge lump....he couldn’t believe his marriage just ended like that....The woman he loved and still love, the church going woman who captured his heart and made him want to marry and build a stable home for his kids just changed to something evil just like that***
Amo: askies I should’ve just ignored her
Jabu: you can use the Bmw ...tell Gogo something came up and I couldn’t make it
*** He said giving her the car keys and Lolly sighed***
Lolly: ok...you’ll be fine right
***he nodded***
Lolly: I’ll see you later
Jabu: sho
***she sighed and got up and she took her bag and walked out with a heavy heart....She hated seeing him like that***
