Mpande: I have a sexual traumanyana with plus size women
***he brushed his head then he sighed***
Mpande: it happened with an ex of mine she was a plus size woman....
***he sighed***
Mpande: we were busy having foreplay and I went...down on her and as I was busy i kept touching something with my tongue on her entrance ....i kept licking and sucking yabona and I kept touching that thing with my tongue so I decided to check what it was by putting my finger in and I could feel ukuthi its not her momozi that is like that, there’s actually something in there so I pulled it off with my finger and guess what....
***he sighed***
Mpande: eish mamas....it was ikhondomu ( a condom).... and it still had some semen inside
***he made a disgusting look on his face...Hills’ eyes popped out***
Mpande: it was not mine cause we didn’t use ikhondomu ...so I was basically busy ngikhothana ne khondomu yomunye umuntu namasimba akhe still inside of it... ( so I was basically busy licking another person’s condom with his sh*t still inside of it)

Hills: ooh no you didn’t Mpande
Mpande: ngakhipa konke ukudla notshwala bonke ( I vomited out all the food and the beer I drank)

Mpande: I kicked her out and blocked her everywhere....since then I never dated a plus size woman cause they remind me of that cheating fa.... that cheating a$$
Hills: wow
Mpande: but....i met you and I fell hard for you....i didn’t think I still had that phobia until last night....so it wasn’t you it was me and my...trauma mamas
***Hills sighed***
Hills: then it means it won’t work Mpande
Mpande: ungasho kanjalo Ntabeni ( don’t say that Ntabeni)
Hills: it’s the truth we both must face
Mpande: no....look that whole scene caught me off guard mamas...and it’s not just plus side women I can’t go down on but it’s all women from all sizes.... it’s just that its a plus size woman that gave me that trauma

AT THE BUS DEPOT
***Tshimo is sitting inside the bus waiting for it to be full when she suddenly feels some cramps on her lower abdominal area and she groans a bit....she feels something coming out of her nunu and she knew its either discharge or periods but if its her periods then they are way too early...she suddenly had the edge to pray and she just closed her eyes and said a short silent prayer, she prayed for a safe trip back home and for forgiveness for what she did with Alphalette....
Well earlier she did find Gaza’s sister Sophie and she lied to her that something came up and she needs to leave asap....She lied again and told her that she tried Gaza’s phone but he’s not picking up but she send him a message...They tried to convince her to stay but she told them it’s a family emergency so she left after saying her goodbyes and luckily she found space on the bus and it was leaving in an hours’ time....
Anyway she got up and went to the toilet...she checked herself and she saw drops of blood on her underwear....She sighed and she reached inside her bag and took out a panty liner and tampon and she put in the tampon and placed the panty liner on her underwear and she wore it again....she flushed and washed her hands and she bend a bit as another cramp pain hit her***
Tshimo: eish
***she breathed out rubbing her abdominal area and she picked her bag up and she walked out...she went to her sit and she sat down...she took out painkillers inside her bag and she drank two at one go and drank the sprite she bought then she sat back and put her phone on flight mode then she closed her eyes and waited for the painful cramps she’s feeling to subside***

***Gaza woke up to Mammon screaming***
Mammon: “ nooooo”
Gaza: stop it damn it!!!
***he said holding his head***
Mammon: the baby....my baby
Gaza: what are you talking about
Mammon: she’s in danger...go go...go and save her
Gaza: what are you talking about
Mammon: our child....her father....he’s about to kill our baby
Gaza: Tshimo?
***Mammon kept quiet and Gaza suddenly felt a sense of grief***
Gaza: demon???
***silence***
Gaza: Mammon
***still silence....the sense of grief got worse and worse and he suddenly felt emotional***
Gaza: what the hell is going on....Mammon talk to me
Mammon: she lost the baby
Gaza: wha....what
***he said with his heart beating fast***
Gaza: but....but how can she be pregnant ...it takes fourteen days for conception to happen....how can she lose the baby when it’s not even a baby yet
Mammon: you fool....that was a half human half demon....that’s a mammon child....things happen differently.....the baby is even born on the 6th month not on the 9th month like full blown humans
***Gaza swallowed hard***
Mammon: my baby....
***he said with a sad tone***
Mammon: just so you know I blame you and your brother
***then he went back leaving Gaza feeling emotional....the feeling was getting more and more intense and he swallowed the hard lump stuck on his throat***
