Joshua shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, his hands in his pockets. “You work in the media industry; you know how these things work. Anyway, it’s a long story, I am sure we will find out from Luyando what happened once she works up.”“What’s with your tone dad?” Tulani asked.“Tell him Joshua,” Ayanda said from behind them.“This is neither the time nor the place for this woman,” he curtly told his wife.Just then a nurse appeared to tell them they could see Luyando. “But we only allow two visitors at a time,” she said to the whole bunch that had started following her.Joshua turned to Ben. “I think she would want to see you first before she sees any of us.”“Heh?” Tulani was looking at his father in disbelief.“You

 Two days had gone by and Bernard had not returned home. He had stayed by his daughter’s bed side and refused to take a break so he could go home and freshen up. Martha, sensing that her husband would not be coming home any time soon, she woke up early on a Wednesday morning and prepared to visit the hospital.“I am coming with you,” Natasha told her mother when she walked into the kitchen.“Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” Martha was leaning against the kitchen island while she waited for her coffee to be ready.Natasha sat down on the stool closest to her mother. She still had her night gown on and the weave in her head appeared to have a voice of it’s on, an angry one at that.“I don’t have much to do this morning,” Natasha informed her mother. “I haven’t been ab

Tulani had just finished talking on the phone with his son and was getting ready for bed when he heard a knock on the door. He dressed up again and went to check who might be visiting at such an ungodly hour.He was half-way though the living room when he realized it might be Luyando. He quickly rushed to the door and the video intercom by the side immediately confirmed his suspicions before he even opened the door.Tulani opened the door to a dishevelled and disoriented looking Luyando.“Where the hell have you been?” Tulani asked her right away. “We’ve been looking for you the whole day. Thought you went and did something crazy again.”“Aren’t you going to let me in?” Luyando asked, sounding too calm for someone as headstrong as her.Tulani stepped aside to let her in.“Can you give me

“They were fraternal twins,” Bernard explained.Martha could not hide her shock. For twenty years her husband had not mentioned anything about that. She had been under the impression that there were no secrets between them. Why hadn’t he mentioned anything to her before?“Tasila had a very troubled pregnancy,” Bernard explained. “She had a very weak immune system so her body easily gave in to a lot of diseases. She was sick most of the time and it seemed to get worse during her pregnancy. Something happened during delivery and we lost Chipego.“It was a boy. Luyando was a fighter so she came out first…but her brother wasn’t much of a fighter.” He closed his eyes as if to keep the pain of the whole experience shut in the past where it belonged.“Chipego gave his mother a hard time and by the time he finally came out, i

“What do you think you are doing?” Natasha asked, tagging him on the shoulder and urging him to get back up.The desperation in her eyes wouldn’t have been so loud if not for the fact that they were at a company dinner and everyone was looking at them. It was just like Tulani to make a public spectacle of everything.“I will only get up if you give me an answer,” Tulani said, holding out the engagement ring to her.“Right here?” Natasha’s eyes roamed the room and found that they were indeed the centre of attention. “This is embarrassing Tula.” She whispered to him, trying to close the ring box but Tula wouldn’t let up.Tulani knew he was going to pay dearly for putting Natasha on spot like that but for him it was the only way to get her to finally make up her mind about him. He had no doubt that she felt the same way a
