Lulu let me move into her duplex. Thankfully, she hadn't sold it when she married Khotso and moved in at the royal house. I called her to the side the day that Kea told me to go back home, and explained to Lulu why I cannot go home. She understood shame. She really did. So, she let me stay at her place - upon Ona's permission of course because that girl has no independence whatsoever - and now I am...
Today, mofomahadi takes off her mourning cloth. It's quite unbelievable that it's been a whole year since morena passed away. It's been an interesting year. Shaka and Fifi welcomed a baby boy who is now a couple of months old and Ruri's favourite cousin apparently. His name is some bombastic Zulu name that makes a very clear statement - no seSotho blood detected in him. His name is Akwand'impumelelo. Imagine introducing yourself as "Dumela, ke nna Akwand'impumelelo." If I were...
Thomas and I have just concluded our doctor's appointment. I'm close to giving birth to our son and he's extremely excited to be welcoming our baby boy into the world. I've had a bit of a difficult pregnancy. I've managed to get type two diabetes because of this pregnancy and I'm on bedrest every other week. This child has between today and two weeks from now to come into this world or I'll be induced and he will be forced...
The worst part about Mohato being gone is going to bed without him. I've been doing this for a month now and I'm still not used to it. Mohato was the only person on this earth who knew when I wasn't okay - I didn't have to tell him. And he would find a way to make me better without even saying it out loud. We could speak about anything and everything. I got through my sons getting married and...
I can never get used to these 4am church meet ups. Tebza always looks at me like she wants me to stay longer and my kids are usually fast asleep. I don't get the chance to wish them a good morning or ask them how they slept. Fortunately, my initiation into the church wasn't as long as the average person. Being Khotso's and Ona's best friend and a brother to Shak has worked to my advantage tremendously. So as of...
My in-laws are all over my house. Some are cooking even though there is catering here. I've told them, but zero adherence to what I'm saying. Fifi is locked up in a room. Makoti warona bathung. The Maphumulos will be here in the next hour. It is 5am and we are expecting them here at 6am.We hear ululating in the kitchen and people singing aloud.I open the door for Fifi because really, what the fuck? She will be locked up...
There is nothing that can make a girl happy and smiling for nothing like some good morning sex. And with Ona, it is so good. It is so explosive. It is clothed in power and characterized with passion. It is wholesome and it is the most filling meal of the day.I hear him moan aloud, tensing up then releasing it all inside of me. I smile at him. He smiles at me then he nibbles on my neck and we...
We are having breakfast in the main house with morena, mofomahadi, Thabi, Ona and the kids. Ona came back this morning from Thandeka’s house.Everyone is happy and chatting about. I'm a bit upset. I'm just eating my food and am not engaging in the conversation and laughter."Makoti, is everything okay?" Morena asks me.All eyes are on me now."No, morena. Everything is not okay." I say."Speak your mind so we can hear you, makoti." He says.I take a deep breath then...
So, Thabi is a bit of a bitch. She's really trying to show me who Ona's wife is and she's making sure that Ona treats me like a dirty secret. What disappoints me the most is that Ona is letting her make him do this. I'm extremely annoyed and I'm actually at a point where I'm thinking that perhaps I should just be single for a while and enjoy my life as it is. Imagine being played by a child?...
I don't know how Mashimane is. I really don't. He is a bit lost without Fifi. It is as if he is waiting for someone to give him an instruction before he moves. When we ask him for anything, he phones Fifi first and discusses it with her. Then he gets back to us. He is worried about Fifi and he hates that he cannot be there with her because he is here preparing to bury Nompumelelo. Then he is...
