4 DAYS LATER
From having swollen feet and crying myself to sleep, I was officially over the Maldives. The girls, Ma and Mama Promise tried to lift up my mood and yes it did work, but as soon as I got to my room, I felt heavy. Like I was just forcing shit.
PHONE VIBRATES
Oh, that was lion blowing up my phone for the 600th time. I was being literal when I said 600th because I indeed had around 600 missed calls and voice messages from him.
KNOCK
Me: come in
Gia and Ma enter with their phones.
Ma: Steven.
Steven: Mama tell Mpumi to answer Lions calls.
Me: No thank you.
Lion: baby, talk to me please.
Ma gives me the phone and I hang up. Gia hands me her phone and they leave.
Me: argh.
Lion: Baby please…
Me: what.
Lion: I was gonna tell you baby, please hear me out.
Me: I am.
Lion: my grandpa needs us this side. Please don’t hang up.
Me: My babies are gonna be born soon and that Grandpa couldn’t wait at least 2 weeks for this.
Lion: bae….
Me: hayi fuck man Leo.
Lion: baby… (pleading) please…
Me: spare my ears, and stop calling my phone.
I hang up

Me: (sighs) I don’t know anymore grandpa.
Grandpa: Do not do the worrying. It’ll get better.
Me: she called me a “sell-out” and called off the engagement.
Grandpa: mhh, hectic. Its just the hormones, I means she is the pregnant right Chico ?
Me: yeah.
Grandpa: give her time, and then punish her afterwards

Grandpa: lets go Chico, I’ll get you the finest whiskey in all of Russia.
