LATER ON AT MASAI AND HILLS HOME
Masai: I found a nice apartment and its closer to where my business will be
Hills: is it far from here
***she shook her head no... They are eating***
Hills: I’ll go with you tomorrow to view it
Masai: ok.....you look off what’s up...is it Mpande
***Hills sighed***
Hills: Tarek came to see me today
Masai: what?...gosh I hope he didn’t harass you
Hills: you know he can’t help it....im just...
***she kept quiet a bit***
Hills: he was right about one thing though
***she sighed***
Hills: Mpande doesn’t have a child yet Masai and I can’t give him one
***Masai kept quiet a bit as she could feel the hurt in Hill’s voice***
Hills: and he doesn’t look like a guy who would agree to adopting a child or to go for surrogacy
Masai: don’t judge him before talking to him Hills
***Hills shook her head***
Hills: it won’t work out Masai
Masai: don’t say that please
Hills: I want to adopt and as soon as possible
***Masai sighed***
Masai: talk to Mpande Hills please and make a decision after talking to him
***Hills sighed***
Hills: ok
Masai: and don’t take what Tarek said to you....he’s just bitter that you want to leave him....remember he will do and say anything to make you reconsider your decision
Hills: he said we can raise his child together....that he’ll leave Samke
***Masai huffed***
Masai: don’t tell me you’re actually considering it Shalate
Hills: ofcourse...not
Masai: it still wont change that he cheated and made a baby outside Hills....that baby will be a reminder of his infidelity....and what if he continues with his cheating ways....gape mo we are not talking about some kiss or him flirting with another woman...there’s a baby involved Hills and he wants to make her his second wife...
Masai: what will happen when he wants another child....he refused surrogacy and adoption
Hills: I didn’t say im considering it Masai
***Masai sighed***
Masai: its your life and your marriage Hills and I’ll support whatever decision you make but please make a wise one.....put yourself first please.....don’t be pressured into staying with him Hills....before you decide to stay with him remember his mother hates you and Samke will always be part of his life because of the baby and what makes you think gore Samke will just agree to you two raising her child
Hills: im not going back to him Masai so relax
Masai: im just saying
***she shrug her shoulders then an intercom went off***
Hills: but you said Alphalette said he’ll bring AJ tomorrow
***she said getting up and she went to see who it was and it was Mpande....she froze then she sighed and opened the door wide and there he stood, he was wearing a white golf shirt and navy blue chino pants and navy blue sneakers with his signature gold chain around his neck....his haircut is fresh and neat....She cleared her throat...he looked hot ***
Hills: hi
Mpande: can I come in
***she nodded and made way for him and he kissed her forehead walking in...he walked further in ***
Mpande: mami
Masai: hey Mpande
***she said smiling at him as he sat down and Hills sat down too***
Mpande: how are you
Masai: im good and you
Mpande: still kicking... has Alpha taken AJ yet
***she nodded***
Mpande: you should forgive him Masai....life is too short to stay angry....you two love each other so fix things assomblief
***Masai gave him a faint smile and she got up***
Masai: let me give you some space alone
***she took her plate and walked away***
Mpande: he wont let you go, you know that right
***Masai sighed and she continued to walk to her bedroom....Mpande turned and looked at Hills***
Mpande: you’re ignoring my calls Ntabeni
***She didn’t say anything***
Mpande: ngikhuluma nawe ( im talking to you)
Hills: I just....
***she sighed***
Hills: I cant give you a child if you want one Mpande
***She said out of the blue and he kept quiet shocked by her sudden disclosure but he didn’t take his eyes off her and she looked down and played with her fingers***
Hills: not because I don’t want to but because I can’t keep a child longer in my womb
***she sighed and he continued to keep quiet still looking at her***
Hills: on our wedding day I took a bullet for Tarek and that’s when my womb got scarred....i have had multiple miscarriages since then
***still silence from him but he didn’t take his gaze off her***
Hills: you don’t have a child yet and I can’t give you one
Mpande: you took a bullet for him
***he asked with a hurt tone and she nodded***
Mpande: do you love him that much
***he asked with a frown on his face and she kept quiet a bit***
Hills: I did
***he didn’t say anything but he still kept looking at her***
Mpande: what did he want today
***she froze looking up at him and she found him looking at her with a serious look on his face***
Hills: how...did you...
Mpande: what did he want!
***she swallowed hard looking down and she continued to play with her fingers***
Hills: he received the divorce papers so he came to confront me about them
Mpande: confront you?
***she nodded***
Hills: he doesn’t want to sign them
Mpande: he doesn’t want to, you say
***she nodded***
Mpande: ok....i hope he didn’t touch you in any way
***she didn’t answer him and his heart tightened***
Mpande: Ntabeni I said I hope he didn’t touch you in any way
Hills: he grabbed my arm
Mpande: is that all he did
*** she nodded and his heart calmed down***
Mpande: this whole disclosure about a child is because he reminded you why you should continue to stay with him, am i right
***she didn’t answer him and he got his answer***
Mpande: well msunu wakhe cause you are now mine and there’s nothing he can do about it....i don’t care kuthi you two are still married nxa
