TWO WEEKS LATER
***Tshimo is lying in bed lost in thought, a lot happened after she left Bushbuckridge...That day she got home and the bleeding got worse, She knew something was wrong but she was way too stressed to go see a doctor so she just bathed and went to bed.....The following day the bleeding was better but she felt drained so she called in sick at work and slept the whole day....A few days passed but the bleeding didn’t stop so she decided to go see a doctor cause she usually sees her periods for three day and they are not heavy and it’s been a week of her bleeding.... Tshimo just told her doctor of her heavy bleeding with big blood clots and the doctor took her for a scan and what he told her left her in total despair and confusion...The doctor told her that her uterus is stretched which means she had a miscarriage, they cleaned her womb and gave her medication....She still doesn’t know how she got pregnant cause the last time she had intercourse was two days before she started bleeding....She even thought that maybe someone broke in and drugged her and that person maybe forced themselves on her but she checked her cctv footage installed by Gaza and it doesn’t show anyone entering the premises so she’s been wrecking her head trying to think how she could’ve gotten pregnant***

***Alphalette haven’t seen Masai and his son for two weeks now....Doris, Vee and Hills left Bushbuckridge and went straight to Northwest with her after she was discharged...Alphalette would call her and she would give the phone to AJ so he speaks to his father and she would refuse to talk to him....Its been hard for him cause she send him a message on their way to the Northwest to tell him that she going home with their son and he shouldn’t even attempt to follow her.... She told him that he shouldn’t dare come to her mother’s place or else she will tell her family the real reason she ended up in hospital so he stayed away and only called to check up on them even though he only spoke with his son only***
Mpande: you asleep this time
***Alphalette sighed and he sat up on his bed rubbing his eyes***
Mpande: you ok
Alpha: I miss her
***Mpande sighed***
Alpha: I think she’s pregnant
Mpande: what
***he was surprised***
Alpha: another child born out of wedlock
***he sighed***
Alpha: and its all my fault
Mpande: its not over until the fat lady sings bafo...the fact that she hasn’t told anyone what happened it means she still loves you, its just she’s still hurt
***Alpha got off bed and he went to the bathroom....after he was done he came back and laid down again***
Alpha: how’s you and your Ntabeni
***Mpande sighed***
Mpande: she’s pulling back but I won’t let her
Alpha: nawena Mpande, why did you initiate sex when you know you still have issues with plus size women
***Mpande sighed***
Mpande: eish...i know ok....but I don’t have issues with her
Alpha: you have issues with her body
***he didn’t say anything***
Alpha: I think you should let her go.....for now....let’s be honest, you’re not ready
Mpande: don’t piss me off....im ready.....she’s mine and I’ll get over that sh*t
***Alpha looked at him and chuckled and Mpande laid down facing up***
Alpha: you really like her
Mpande: ungidlisile uNtabeni ( Ntabeni has given me a love potion)
***he said shaking his head and Alphalette laughed***
Mpande: she’s all I think about
***he sighed***
Mpande: I have a problem with plus size women but I don’t want her to lose her weight....she’s perfect the way she is...i know it doesn’t make sense but that’s how it is
***Alphalette sighed***
Alpha: that’s true love for you man....finally you found it but you had to mess it up....i guess we are both f*cked up
Mpande: im better than you....i didn’t cheat
Alpha: tsek
***Mpande laughed***
Alpha: I miss her man....i wanna hold her and....
***he sighed***
Alpha: I cant live like this man....i need her
Mpande: relax they are coming back today
Alpha: I need her man
Mpande: I know....wena just do anything in your power to win her back....i also need my bro back....you look horrible man
***Alphalette didn’t say anything***
Mpande: and....fix things with Gee too...you two need each other
***Alphalette continued to keep quiet for a bit***
Alpha: I cant lose her Mpande.....i cant
Mpande: I know ok...i know
Alpha: I hurt him too...Gee....the reason that I haven’t reached out is im ashamed man....he did warn me but I thought im powerful and stuff and I relaxed.....he was right and I proved him right
***he sighed***
Alpha: I won’t blame him if he doesn’t forgive me.....i would’ve done worse if I was in his shoes and he kissed Masai
Mpande: he loves you man....he will forgive you eventually
Alpha: I hope so....when im done with my shame I’ll reach out and hopefully he wont reject me and my apology
***Mpande nodded***
Mpande: you have lost weight Alpha....all you do is drink and sleep....She’s coming back so pull yourself up and win her back.....never give up even when she tells you its over....you had her last time and you let her go....you kept looking and you missed a lot of time with your son.....it could’ve been worse but you met her and your son while he’s still young so fight for her and her forgiveness
Alpha: I hear you..nawena fight for Hills....you also had her and you kept looking....you even fell for her sister and now you had her again and you messed up again
Mpande: mxm
***he said sitting up***
Mpande: this whole sh*t is about you so don’t involve me and my shortcomings
***Alpha laughed***
Mpande: nobubi nxa
***he said getting off the bed and he walked to the door***
Mpande: come and eat nentshebe yamasimba ( with your shitty beard)
***Alphalette laughed as Mpande walked out.....he sat up and he got off the bed and he went to take his phone and send Masai a message***
