Good Moāning Lover

#67

That same evening, in Banfield, Andile parked at his parents\' house as Andisiwe sighed waking up seso and the baby at the back sit.

Andisiwe: we\'ve arrived Nana wake up.

Seso rubbed her eyes as she gently shook her sister who was sleeping besides her while Andisiwe opened the door for them.

Andile took the baby while carrying their bags as Andisiwe helped seso up. She looked at her.

Andisiwe: how are you feeling baby?

Seso: I\'m okay mama I haven\'t felt any pain now.

She nodded and took their small bags following behind Andile. Immediately they got in Andile\'s mother smiled meeting them halfway as Andile\'s mother\'s boss baby screamed at the little one. Andile smiled giving the baby to her as she almost fell trying to pick her up. Andile chuckled.

Him: it\'s fine Minnie you can just hold her hand she can walk on her own.

Minnie:*with a huge smile* okay uncle Andy.

She took the baby\'s hand and wend to hug Andisiwe. Andisiwe smiled hugging her back.

Her: hey baby how are you?

Minnie: I\'m fine... Look nokwazi did my hair.

Andile\'s mother glared at her as they all laughed.

Nokwazi: I told you I\'m not nokwazi I\'m mama nokwazi to you Wena ngane.

She shook her head walking with Andisiwe to the sitting room.

Nokwazi: can you believe that she cried to come along with me lapho she still has to go to school tomorrow.

Andisiwe:*smiled* she loves you.

They sat down as they continued talking while Andile spoke with his father.

The following day at the Construction site, Una took off his protective hat as he wrote down something. He paused looking at his father walking over and smiled surprised.

Una: the way you love work nowadays one would swear that you hadn\'t taken a pension.

His father also joined him laughing as they fist pumped.

Him: there\'s nothing wrong with missing my kids.

Una:*shook his head* I\'m not a kid.

Him: *smiled* okay okay *sighed looking at him* do you have a minute?

Una: yah sure.

They walked to a canteen and sat down.

Una: what\'s up?

Him:*sighed* your brother tells me that you have been excluding him in a lot of things at work. As a shareholder he feels like an outcast.

Una sighed.

Una: but he should have came to me moss if he had a problem a d not run to you. Futhi he\'s the one who said that he doesn\'t want anything to do with things that involves my wife. I honestly don\'t understand why he hates her so much when she\'s been trying her best to show him how good she is.

Him:*sighed* but don\'t you think that he has a point though? *Una frowned as his father jumped in* i mean I admire makoti\'s work, cause she is the reason why our company is doing so well but don\'t you think that this should be a family thing.

Una: Simthandile is my wife so automatically that makes her family and I don\'t see the reason why you are making this a big deal. Simthandile didn\'t chase your son from work. He is the one who doesn\'t want her and honestly, that\'s not our problem.

Mr Mariana looked at him and sighed.

Him: but still I don\'t like her for our business and I also think that you should find another wife and divorce her, that girl is not okay. I recently found out that she\'s lunga\'s daughter which automatically makes you guys siblings.

Unabantu stood up and sighed shaking his head.

Una: I think that\'s you que to leave and yes I know that Simthandile is my sister and I won\'t break up with her or take another wife.

He sighed also getting up.

Him: but you\'re still with her? Unabantu are you hearing yourself. Are you crazy. Do you even know the reason why that girl is with you? She wants to take everything that we own. Her father was a greedy man and she\'s just like him. You can see it in her ey...

Una: okay that\'s enough. I won\'t listen to you talking about my wife like that. Simthandile is not going anywhere and I will make sure of it. If that means that our relationship has to come to an end because of her then I don\'t mind, let it be. *Shook his head in belief* seems like that gay son of yours has fed you a lot about my wife and I will not tolerate it. I can listen to you talking about anything but when it comes to my family i draw a line. I will cut you off real quick and forget that you raised me and you won\'t believe it. If it means that I have to go to war with you guys in order to protect my wife then you will mean a Unabantu that you have never seen. Play far from Simthandile. *Sighed* I\'m leaving, you have bored me so much in a few minutes I hate seeing you face right now nxa.

He walked away as Mr Mariana swallowed looking at him.

At Mariana Constructions, una knocked on Simthandile\'s office and walked in as she wrapped up a meeting with a client on a call. She put the phone down and frowned looking at him.

Her: are you okay?

He looked at her and breathed annoyed.

Him: what do you know about Tata that could threaten his life.

Simthandile paused looking at him and sighed.

Her: what\'s this about?

Him: please answer me.

Her:*shrugged* he\'s the man who killed my family. His and your mother killed them after my father refused to be with your mother. She sent your father to kill them.

Him: and what about the business.

Her:*sighed* I don\'t really know much about the business but I know that they took over after my parents passed away.

Him:*sighed leaning back* were you with me because you wanted revenge or you really loved me?

Simthandile paused and looked at him shocked before sighing.

Her: I don\'t know if where this is going but I didn\'t date you to spite your parents. I don\'t need to use anyone to avenge my parents. I can do that on my own. *Sighed* can we please stop talking about this I don\'t like where it\'s heading.

Unabantu looked at her and sighed getting up.

Him: I\'m sorry, I just *sighed* I\'m trying to make sense of some things. I hope I didn\'t ruin your mood babe.

Her:*shook her head* no it\'s fine. Can I carry on with my meetings I will see you at home.

Unabantu helped her up and kissed her.

Him: I love you.

Her:*forced a smile* I love you too.

He kissed her again and walked out as Simthandile sighed thoughtfully taking a sit.

Later that day, Mr Mariana knocked and entered Simthandile\'s office. She looked at him and smiled as she stood up and shook his hand.

Her: Tata what a nice surprise.

He smiled taking a sit and looked at her.

Him: I was just passing by and I thought let me come and see my daughter in law.

Her: okay.

Him:*sighed* this office looks good on you Makoti.

Her: *looked around and smiled* thank you I try.

Him:*nodded* but I think you\'d look better if you were to focus on your marriage and leave these things to us men to deal with.

She frowned staring at him as he sighed.

Him: look I don\'t want to state the obvious. Infact let\'s drop the act. You know why you\'re here and I\'m going to give you a chance to resign by yourself. I don\'t want things to go South cause I\'m trying to be a changed man. Go and do wifely duties and look after your children. You know how this economy is. Children go missing every day and I\'m sure you don\'t want that to happen to Wanda.

Her:*sighed* is that a threat Mr Mariana?

Him:*smiled getting up* I don\'t threaten people. Action is more of my language Koti *smiled* have a good day.

Simthandile quietly watched as he walked out and sighed leaning back....
