HIM: MR LION REDELLO

39. ACCEPTANCE

4 MONTHS

MPUMI

Giving A man a chance led to abuse and control. He beat me up, broke my heart yet again and because of that, I can’t trust a man ever again. I kept the twins and they are growing well in my tummy. I went through some treatment and my scars are fading away. I have nothing to say to him and I don’t wanna hear what he has to say. I have a few hundred thousands I saved from bartending and I have been baby shopping

Mom: look at this one ?(smiles)
Me: mom, I bought that last time. They have like thousands of those.

My babies Genders are Male and Female. I’m gonna name them AMANI (peace) -Boy & ARMANI (faith)- Girl.
The girls’ other name will be Siyamthanda
The boys’ other name will be Siphosethu.


Mom: your tummy growing.
Me: that’s because they make me eat a whole loaf alone.
Mom: (giggles) so cute

I never told my mom what happened. She asked about the scars and I told her its mosquitoes, like back when I was young.

Mom: so when is he coming to see you ?
Me: I don’t know ma. Hes busy and I understand, he’s fending for our babies.
Mom: aren’t Redello’s rich ?
Me: Mom, I’m hungry. Lets pay for these and leave.

I Got bored every time she mentioned “THE REDELLO’S” because Their child is the reason why I can’t trust anyone anymore.
