Mokgabo's fingers clicked around the keyboard

as she typed with ease and finally clicked on
the print button, her printer rolled out the payroll
then she shutdown the computer as she
squeezed her feet back into her heels. She put
her blazer on and pulled out her weave from
behind before fixing her collar.

She grabbed her handbag before picking the

payroll and walked out of the office. One of her
colleagues opened his office and stuck his
head out...
Him: Hi, Momo wee?

She turned around and smiled, she already

knew what he wanted to ask so she waved the
payroll...

Momo: (smiled) I'm taking it to the bank. I

guess the salary will be in by tomorrow.
Him: (laughed) Thank God.

She laughed seeing others were also curiously

listening, she stopped at the last office and
knocked as she walked in...

Mokgabo: Maya do you have an envelope? I've

ran out.
Maya picked the envelope and handed her...

Maya: It's Ladies night today at The Lagoon... I

know you'll be alone and bored, let's go out
Mokgabo: (smiled) You know i can't..
Maya: Aren't you bored doing the same thing
every day? Don't you miss us going out at night
and having fun?
Mokgabo: I do, but things have changed now.
I've grown and i have a family, it's called
adulting...you should try it... Bye... Enjoy your
lunch..

Maya rolled her eyes smiling, of course she

expected such an answer from Momo, it was
always the same response.
***

A few minutes later she walked out of the bank

and dialled her husband, it rang until she got in
the car and sat down, then she tried again, there
was no answer. She took a deep breath and
sighed texting.

Momo: Hi babe, heading to the restaurant for

lunch. 😊Hope this time you show up.

She put her phone aside and started the car

then she drove off.

At the restaurant...

Minutes later she sat down and placed an order

with the waitress before taking out her phone,
she glanced at the time on her wrist and sighed.

Momo: (texted) I thought we agreed to have

lunch together today. Honestly, this is draining.

She sighed frustrated and put the phone down,

the waitress placed her food down then she
begun eating, a toddler on the next table caught
her attention as she laughed with her daddy...
Momo smiled admiringly and even paused
chewing... She snapped out of it and focused
on her food. She ate while scrolling through
social media, then she stopped at the vacation
pictures of another couple, she smiled scrolling
through their pictures... Him holding his
girlfriend at the beach, them on the boat, both in
the tub full of bubbles and candles. She blushed
watching their short video as the man picked
his girl and kissed her.... It was still hard to
believe there were romantic Batswana men like
that. She reacted with a heart and moved on to
other posts. Before she knew it lunchtime was
over, she paid and walked out....

At Mokgabo's House...

Later that evening Momo bent over and pulled

out a full bucket of water as the water dripped,
she emptied it into the sink and put it back
under the sink before closing the shelf and
made dinner listening to music, she served two
plates and glanced at the time... It wouldn't be
long before he arrived so she covered both their
food and passed time cleaning the kitchen.

Hours later she warmed her food and sat on the

couch eating, her phone rang and she smiled at
the screen before picking...

Momo: Yes Maya

Maya: (noisy background) They're playing your
song....listen... I'm lifting the phone...

Momo smiled trying to hear the song but there

was so much noise she could hardly hear a
thing. Pholo's car stopped outside...

Momo: Pholo is here... See you tomorrow.

Maya: (laughed) At least you're getting laid
tonight, poor thing!

She laughed and hung up then she stood up

and washed her plate..Pholo walked in carrying
his bag and stopped at the kitchen door looking
at her.

Pholo: Hi

She wiped her hands and smiled at him..

Momo: Hi...

He turned around and walked to the bedroom,

she followed him and sat on the bed looking at
him as he hung his coat inside the wardrobe
and took off his shirt.

Momo: Did you see my messages?

He reached in his pocket and took out his

phone.
Pholo: It was on silent, sorry.
Momo: I don't understand how a simple lunch
can be so difficult
Pholo: What do you want me to do Momo? It's
not like i have control over my schedule.
Momo: A simple "I won't make it" would have
been better... Are we even trying to make this
work?
Pholo: I can't think about all that now, I'm tired.

He walked in the shower and closed the door,

Momo sighed and laid down for a few minutes,
she then got up and took off her clothes. She
opened the bathroom door and walked in while
he was showering. She stepped in and smiled
getting closer to him, he stepped out and
grabbed the towel before walking out...
She sighed embarrassed and carried on
showering as her clit throbbed, she pointed the
shower head downward washing her flesh and
the water massaged her..... She got more
sensitive as she pressed the showerhead on
herself. She closed her legs tightly together and
bit her lower lip as the running water massaged
her.. She stepped out of the shower throbbing
even more....

She wrapped herself with a towel and stepped

into the bedroom where she put on her pajamas
and headed to the living room where Pholo was
laying on the couch watching TV, but as she got
closer it was clear he was sleeping. She
switched off the TV and went to the bedroom
where she laid down, tossed and turned until
she fell asleep.
***

The next morning Momo emptied the bucket

under the sink and put it back before getting
ready for work while Pholo laid on the couch...

Minutes later she walked in the living room in

her formal wear and sighed standing by the
couch while Pholo pressed his phone, he put it
face down and looked at her...

Pholo: You look beautiful.. Why aren't you

dressed in formal?
Momo: Thank you, Fridays we wear casual.
Thought you knew about that...
Pholo: Oh.. OK... Sorry about last night, i was
tired. How about lunch today?
Momo: (smiled) I can't wait...

He picked his phone again and begun typing,

there was an awkward silent moment then she
sighed and walked out..

At the office...

Just before lunchtime Maya knocked on the

office door and stuck her head inside smiling...

Maya: The salary is in!

She walked in and did a little dance sticking her

tongue out as she bent backwards...

Maya: (singing) Roboto roboto roboto

Khala ibarcadi barcadi barcadi
Sifuna lemali lemali lemali
Kudliwa isalary salary salary (Ching)
SALARY SALARY SALARY!

Momo forced a smile and eventually laughed at

her bad dance moves...

Momo: So you still can't dance?

Maya laughed and eventually stopped as she

noticed Momo putting her phone down with a
long face though she tried to hide it.

Maya: Are you OK?

Momo: Yeah, I'm good
Maya: You're not.... I know that I'm not married
and all... I know you people are told not to share
your problems with us mahetwa but can I at
least just listen? I promise i won't tell anyone..
Momo: It's nothing,
Maya: Ok...
Momo: Oh and... (smiled) I think I'll take you up
on that offer about going out for drinks..
Maya: Wow really? Are you sure?
Momo: (smiled) Yes...

They both smiled as Maya turned around

dancing...

At the House...

Later that evening Pholo walked in while Momo

laid on the bed going through different facebeat
looks to pick from for the nightout.

Pholo: Sorry about earlier, I was held up.

Momo: Ok

He reached in the wardrobe and took out his

bag then he put in a few shirts as Momo slid
out her ring and put it on the table...

Momo: Where are you going?

Pholo: To the delta, they have a few tourists i
need to attend... It's a last minute thing.
Momo: Ok.
Pholo: It will be a day or two, tops... Sunday I'll
be back.
Momo sighted and turned back to the phone,
she chose a look and sent it to the makeup lady.
Pholo packed his bag and leaned over kissing
her on the cheek...

Pholo: I love you

Momo: I love you too...

He walked out and closed the door, Momo

stood up and opened the wardrobe then she
smiled looking at her dress... She hadn't worn
this dress for a while... She picked a pair of high
heels and set them aside as the makeup lady
called.

Momo: Hi... Yeah, come home... Extra fee for

home visit is still P100 right?... Cool.
She hung up and dialled Maya...

Maya: I'm on my way sweetie

Momo: Who will be driving?
Maya: Baby daddy, don't worry we are safe.
Momo: Ok, bye

She hung up and smiled before getting ready...

At the club

Later that night Momo walked behind Maya and

her boyfriend as they walked through the crowd
with lights flushing. She hadn't been in a club
since she graduated and now that she was here
ot was too loud, the lights flushing around hurt
her eyes and there were just too many people..
They took the couch at the back where the
ladies sat down.

Baby daddy: What should i get for you ladies?

Momo took out her purse and handed him

P100...

Momo: A juice will do for now..

Maya: I want Savannah...

He turned and walked away as Maya nodded

her head dancing to the beat, Momo looked at
everyone dancing and sighed...

Momo: I'm bored... I want to go home

Maya: Of course you're bored, you forgot what
fun looks like. If this is marriage then no thank
you... Just chill, you'll get in the mood... Gape as
long as you're sober you won't relax..

Maya's boyfriend walked back with the drinks

but a young woman grabbed his arm and
whispered in his ear, he smiled and chatted with
her. Maya caught their smiles through the
flushing lights..

Maya: This one thinks I'm a toy...

She stood up and walked over as Momo stood

up, she shrunk her eyes trying to see through
the deem and flushing lights but it wasn't clear,
before she knew it Maya and this other girl were
fighting.
Momo: Shit!

She got up and walked over as the bouncers

dragged them outside, the crowd pushed her
back as they being pushed outside. She
followed them to the door as the bouncer shut
the door...

Momo: I'm with her, can i go out...

Bouncer: Ok..

He let her out and shut the door behind her,

then Momo paced towards the parking as Maya
and her boyfriend punched and pushed one
another against the car, he pushed Maya in the
car and got in the drivers seat before driving off
while they both screamed at one another.
Momo: (shouted) Maya?!

Meanwhile Maya punched him on the head, the

car went off the road and hit a road sign, the
baby daddy turned around and slapped her, she
bit her lower lip and punched him harder.

At the gate, Momo noticed they stopped and

took off her heels then she picked them up and
ran towards the car but they drove off. She
slowed down on the side of the road and turned
looking back at the club then she walked back
passing by the ladies selling food outside the
club...

Once in the parking lot she dialed a cab, a man

walked behind her and she gasped startled...
Him: Hi, you dropped this

She looked at her purse in his hand then she

slowly got it and looked at him.

Momo: Thank you..

Him: Did you call a cab?
Momo: Yeah... How do you know?
Him: Saw your friends fighting and leaving...
(pointed) I was sitting in that car.
Mono: Preying on someone? Perhaps a drunk
woman you can take home and use all night?

He smiled and laughed...

Him: No, I'm waiting for my friends, they drink
like there is no tomorrow so as the unfortunate
sober friend i get to play chauffeur whenever
they have plans to go over the limit....(took out
his hand) My name is Therisano but you can
just call me Terry
Momo: (shook his hand) Hi Terry.
Terry: Hey... And you're?
Momo: Momo...
Terry:You can wait in the car with me, it's a bit
chilly.

She reluctantly followed him, he opened the

door for her but part of her just wouldn't allow
her to get in... He smiled and closed the door...

Terry: Ok... At least you don't trust strangers..

He took off his sweater and put it around her
then he zipped her inside and pulled the hoodie
over her head..

Terry: Tisa dithako ke go rwese, I'm sure

pavement e tsididi.. {Let me help you put on
your shoes, I'm sure the pavement is cold}

He got the shoes and got on one knee putting

them on her feet while she supported herself
with his head. He strapped her heels and stood
up as their eyes locked, he looked in her eyes
and down her lips then he swallowed standing
in front of her...

She was on one of her highest heels but she

still had to look up to see his eyes, and now that
he was standing so close she could sense his
perfume... It was an expensive one, she
probably wouldn't be able to pronounce it if she
tried...

He reached over and pulled down the hoodie so

he could see her properly, she swallowed as her
heart pounded... She'd never been so close to
any other man except Pholo... What she felt
looking up at this man was scary.

He slowly put his arms around her waist and

pulled her closer as their bodies touched then
he touched her lower face and tilted his face
leaning over, her eyes closed as her lips slightly
opened allowing him to kiss her softly while
they pressed against the car. She placed her
hands over his chest and ran them down every
bump as he picked her up and placed her on the
bonnet then he stood between her kissing her,
her short dress slowly pulled back letting him in
as he rubbed the bridge of her soaking Gstrng
then he unbuttoned his jeans and dropped the
zip...

Momo's heart pounded as her blood rushed, he

took her hand and put it on his meat and she
held it as it filled her hand then he got it for her
use its mushroom head to push her panties
aside, was she about to disrespect her husband?

Momo: (panting) No, Terry stop! Uuh... No

He instantly stepped back catching his breath,

She slid down the bonnet and pulled up her
dress then took off his sweater and dropped it
on the bonnet, her phone rang then she walked
away fixing her hair.
Momo: (panting) I have to go. The cab is here.
Terry: (panting) Wait!

She picked the cab driver's call and talked to

him, she spotted it at the gate then she jumped
in and closed the door before taking a deep
breath. Tears filled her eyes as she took out her
phone shaking and begun typing.

Momo: 😭😭 I'm so sorry. I hope you forgive me.

I just cheated on you, but I swear nothing
happened. It will never happen again, i don't
even know him, i didn't exchange numbers with
😭
him. I'm sorry.

She sent the message and rubbed her tears

shaking.

At Maya's House..

The baby daddy parked the car and stepped out

while Maya shouted at him...

Maya: You're so predictable! I knew you'd mess

up my weekend because that's just who you're...
That's why i dumped you. I don't know why you
keep coming to my house cockblocking me, I'd
be having sex by now... You're a cockblocker!
Him: This is why I have a deaf girlfriend...
You've traumatised me with your loud mouth so
much I'm afraid to deal with your kind!
Maya: Then go to her house, why did you come
to my house?
Him: Because I have to protect my daughter,
you can't be having sex randomly when our
baby is so young. You know what happens
when mothers have sex while babies are still
young
Maya: A 5 year old who doesn't even qualify for
Tsabana at the clinic and gets maluti instead?
Leave my house.
Him: After the slaps you gave me? I'm staying,
you're giving me sexual healing or something....
He moved the rock and unlocked the door then
he passed by their daughter's room and
switched the light on, she she was sleeping
peacefully so he switched them off and walked
to the bedroom taking off his Tshirt.

Maya walked in and got in bed with a straight

face, he turned around and looked at her then
he got on top of her as she pushed him off..

Maya: Get off me, akere you were flirting with

women
Him: If only you knew how beautiful
you're...you're special... But I'm sorry i hurt you...

He leaned over and kissed her as his girlfriend

video called. She stretched her hand to get it
but he grabbed it first and walked out with a
boner stretching his briefs...

He switched the lights on and smiled doing a

sign language...

Him: Hi
Her: (sign language) What time are you coming
home?

He sat on the couch and sighed making sure his

lips were visible...

Him: It's my turn to stay up with our daughter.

Maya needs to get some sleep tonight so I'm
feeding the baby at night.
Her: 5 years old? Eat at night?
Him: Yeah
Maya walked in and smiled signing "Hi" while in
her bra and panties, she sat on his lap and
smiled laying he head on his chest.

Her: Come home, now (signed angrily) NOW

He gave her a thumbs up and hung up, then he

sighed and leaned back looking up at her still
sitting on his lap.

Him: She is going to beat me, she is short

tempered..
Maya: You let a woman beat you?
Him: Le wena wa mpetsa akere, mxm {You just
literally beat me just now}
Maya: You beat me too
Him: The day i beat you you'll never put your
hands on me even if you catch me between
another woman's legs. Sia..

She stood up then he got up and dressed, Maya

gasped and covered her mouth...

Maya: We forgot Momo!

He covered his mouth too and smiled as they

both laughed...

At Momo's House....

Meanwhile Momo rocked back and forth sitting

on the bed holding her phone, she checked if
Pholo was online but he wasn't, the message
was even pending... Must have been the
network at the delta. Her phone rang...

Momo: Hello?
Maya: We are on our way to get you, we are
passing the roundabout
Momo: I got a cab....eish mma, i cheated with
some random guy.. We met in the parking lot
and kissed, we almost did the deed but i
stopped... Lucky enough he didn't force things..
The most embarrassing thing is that it felt so
good...
Maya: If you didn't have sex it's not cheating...
In fact you wouldn't be considered a cheater, it's
a cry for help.

Baby daddy: (in the background) Advices of a

ho, I'll never marry you with that mentality
Maya: Well, I don't want to marry you either,
didn't you say you're going to your girlfriend's
house?

Momo: Did you put me on loudspeaker?

Maya: No, of course not. This noisy bitter ex
boyfriend is judging my advice like he is some
kind of an angel.
Him: You give shit advice, I'm glad i have a good
girlfriend and i don't have to deal with your
toxicity.

Maya:. (sighed) You know what.. I'm not going

to respond to that negativity. In fact let me just
go wait for you to get in the shop. And hurry up
my daughter is alone

Momo: We will talk tomorrow, seems its a bad

time
Maya: It's not, he is gone. We are at the filling
station. I hate this guy, can't believe i let him
cum inside me and even kept his sperm.
Momo: (laughed) If i had a child i wouldn't be so
lonely... (took a deep breath) There is nothing
interesting about my life... But I've sent Pholo a
message apologising, he is not online...
Sometimes I wonder why he married me. We
never have sex, when i touch him he doesn't
even get hard and he doesn't like laying next to
me.
Maya: 1st of all go delete that message before
he sees it, this other gender doesn't forgive
cheating. Though you didn't even cheat...
Unless you're ready for the divorce then delete,
he doesn't know anything, why hurt him? I doubt
he'd even be hurt though.
Momo: You have a point, let me delete and call
you.
Maya: I'll call you this annoying human being
just got back in the car. (to him) When are you
going to your girlfriend house? I have plans
tonight.
Him: Mxm!

Momo sighed and clicked on WhatsApp, thank

God he was still offline, she deleted the
message and tied her hair before switching off
the lights.

There was complete silence, she tossed and

turned for about an hour then she sat up in the
dark and sighed. She grabbed her phone and
typed him a message...

Momo: You've been ignoring me for almost a

year, you avoid having sex with me, we don't
talk about anything at all. You spend a lot of
time outside and when you come home it's just
to sleep. The sink has been leaking for almost a
week, but you can't fix it... The house is literally
falling apart in your presence and you don't care.
I've been asking for a baby so i can at least
have company while you're on your night-shift
but upto now we are yet to have sex. I'm tired of
wanting for nothing, if things don't change I'm
leaving. I can't be afraid to divorce because I'm
already living like a single woman...

She sent the message and watched a movie in

her until she fell asleep.

***

The next morning she sat up and yawned

checking her phone.

Pholo: I'm sorry you feel that way. We will talk

when when i get back, there is something I've
been trying to tell you since the beginning of
this year but i didn't have the guts to do it.

She sighed and put on her pyjamas then she

walked into the kitchen and drained the bucket
under the sink, she leaned against the counter
and dialed the plumbing company...

Voice: Good morning, thanks for calling T&T

Plumbers.
Momo: You're talking to Mokgabo, I called you
last week complaining about a sink, i even paid
deposit but you still haven't fixed it. Should I
name and shame you at tje consumer group?
Voice: Hold for the director and supervisor, your
leakage should have long been fixed. I
scheduled it but i don't know what
happened..We have a lot of interns, maybe
that's the problem.

She waited as she got redirected...

Male Voice: Good morning ma'am. May i just

apologise for any inconvenience caused, as an
apology you'll not pay the balance... Instead we
will just fix the problem. My colleague are on
sight on another job so i will personally come
fix it myself.
Momo: Thank you.
Voice: May i confirm the address?

She gave him the address and sighed hanging

up then she walked to the bedroom and took a
bath.

Minutes later there was a knock, she walked

towards the door wrapping the towel around her
chest and opened the door. Her lips dropped as
she locked eyes with Terry...

Momo: How did you find me?

Terry: (pointed at the chest logo on his overalls)
I'm here to fix your leakage. May I?

At Momo's House...

Momo: Oh, um... Come in...

She stepped aside then he walked in as her

eyes looked up at him... The perfume he had on
today was different,but equally breathing taking.
She slowly closed the door and swallowed
before heading to the kitchen while he followed
her...

Terry: Nice house...

Momo: Thank you..

He noticed framed wedding pictures in the

living room before turning to the kitchen...

Terry: What happened to your husband?

She turned around and looked at him confused...

Momo: What do you mean?

Terry: You're not wearing your ring... And you
called us for a basic leakage any man can fix
with a simple screwdriver.

She turned her head away and tucked her hair

behind her ear embarrassed...

Terry: I'm assuming he is late or you're

divorced.. Or separated?
Momo: None of the above, he just doesn't have
time... He is busy
Terry: What does he do?
Momo: He is a doctor, he works for the
government but he also has private patients of
his own...
Terry: I see... Well guys who are too busy for
their homes are lucky enough to have guys like
us whose job is to do what they can't do.

He stepped closer enough for his chest to press

her against the fridge as he looked at her lips,
then he whispered in her ear..

Terry: Where is the leakage?

Still trapped between him and the fridge her

breathing got heavier as she pointed..
Momo: Under the sink...
Terry: Show me...

He stepped back giving her space then she

caught her breath and swallowed, she opened
both shelves and bent over getting the bucket,
Terry stood behind her as his zipper rubbed on
her behind, she put the bucket inside the sink
while Terry stood behind her..

Terry: Go get dressed, you're tempting me and i

wouldn't want to be unprofessional....

He put his arms around her hugging her from

behind and took a deep breath holding her in his
arms, his hand slipped down in front of her and
under the towel...He gently slid his hand inside
her panties then she grasped helpless in his
arms...

Momo: (caught her breath) T-erry...

With his chin on her neck she could feel his

heart beat on her back, his meat was right on
her butt and her legs shook as her flesh
throbbed. She opened her legs so his finger can
slip through but he let her go and spanked her
behind.

Terry: Go get dressed

She gained her balance as he put on his work

gloves and laid under the sink. Momo walked in
the bedroom and closed the door with her flesh
throbbing. She bent over and pulled down her
panties as her clear precum stretched and
dripped, she wiped herself with her soaking
panties and walked in the bathroom where she
washed them.

Minutes later she peeled a panty liner and stuck

it on clean panties before putting them on.

Meanwhile Terry finished fixing and took off his

gloves then he shoved them in his pocket
before washing his hands in the sink. He closed
the tap and walked out...

He stopped in the living room and folded his

arms looking at her wedding pictures...

Momo walked in and sighed uncomfortably...

Terry: Oh, I'm done... So how long have you
been married?
Momo: Since I was 22 years old.. Right after
graduation.
Terry: Kids?
Momo: Ng ng
Terry: Why not?
Momo: He is very busy... We hardly have sex.
I'm busy too, we have our own careers and stuff.
Terry: Are you happy?
Momo: I don't know what happiness really
means in a relationship, but it would be nice if a
few things improved...we haven't had sex since
January, and he is all i know...
Terry: (laughed) Are you serious? So you've only
had sex with one dick your whole life?
Momo: Is that bad?
He smiled in disbelief and laughed...

Terry: So what do you do when you're horny and

he is not there? Who survives a year without sex
if they're perfectly healthy
Momo : I distract myself with something, work,
movies, etc
Terry: Don't you at least pleasure yourself?
Momo: It's never enough, just leaves me on
edge
Terry: Maybe you don't know how to do it, it's
supposed to leave you completely satisfied, you
might go for a week or two except if you're
ovulating..

He sighed looking at her...

Terry: Do you have massage oil?
Momo: No, i have anti-cellulite oil
Terry: It's perfect... Bring me a towel too..

He took off his overall jacket and hung it over

the dining room table then he removed his
watch.

Momo walked in with the towel and oil as Terry

moved away all the chairs away from the dining
table.

Momo: What are you doing?

Terry: Towel

She handed him the towel then he spread it on

the table..

Terry: Take off your clothes, all of them.... Just

want to show you something... Take them off..

She reluctantly took them off and remained

with a bra and a panty.

Terry: Everything...

She took off the remaining then she laid on the

dining table, Terry rubbed the oil on his hands
and gently massaged her...

It started off tense but Momo eventually relaxed

as he massaged her back, and turned her
around as she laid on her back. He massaged
her inner thighs and pussy lips before letting his
finger tip in as a teaser...

She gasped but he pinned her down with the

other hand and #Removed (to read the explicit

Terry smiled and helped her sit on the edge of

the table before hugging her as she hugged him
crying. He rubbed her back and pulled up her
chin for a soft kiss...

Terry: (whispered) Get dressed, I'll clean up this

mess.

She got off the table then he ran the towel

around the table wiping it and put the chairs
back the way they were. He handed her the
towel and grabbed the cleaning cloth with a
cleaning detergent and gently cleaned the table
while she finished getting dressed...

As soon as he finished cleaning he put on his

jacket and watch then picked his bag and
smiled before kissing her on the cheek...

Terry: (whispered) That's what we call foreplay,

there is more where that came from....

He turned around and walked towards the door,

he reached for the lock to open but the door
opened and Pholo stepped in.

Terry: Boss
Pholo: (noticed his logo) I've been meaning to
fix that waitse
Terry: (smiled) Don't worry about it, you're
supporting local businesses.
Pholo: True, sure boss
Terry: Sure

He walked out, Pholo closed the door and

looked at Momo. Her heart pounded as she
looked at him...

slipped his finger inside her, she grabbed his

fingering hand as he wiggled it inside tapping
the Gspot, she turned her eyes moaning...

Momo: (moaning) Ô! Ô! Ô! Ô!

He leaned over and sucked her nipples while his

other hand slowly slipped out of her pussy and
gently massaged her clit. He sucked each of her
nipples and fingered her shaking her as she
moaned loudly.

Momo:Uh uh uh

She turned her eyes as a wave of orgasm

rushed through her veins, Terry flicked her clit
as she gasped freezing before releasing
once...he carried on fingering her even harder, a
little rough this time as she closed her legs
sweating. He pushed her thighs away and slid
two of his middle fingers inside her tapping her
Gspot as the veins on his arm stuck out with
every flick he gave her...

She slipped into a frenzy as she looked in his

eyes, he bit his lower lip and fingered her firmly
as she felt that intense pleasure build up, he
leaned over and French kissed her as the walls
of her pussy tightened... There was that
awesome feeling again and she just had to let
that cum out, a different kind of cum because
this felt unbelievably good, so good she lost her
mind holding his arm with both hands.

Momo: Uh fuck Terry... Uhhhh.

She reached for his pants, and he was as hard

as a rock, he carried on flicking her while she
stared at his black veined dick hanging between
his legs... What a beautiful sight... She reached
over and held it in her hand as it filled her hand,
she granted and vibrated as she squirted all
over the towel....

He slipped out his fingers and closed her legs

before kissing her softly as he put back his hard
black dick back in the pants and zipped...

At Momo's House...

Pholo put his bag on the couch and stopped

looking at her standing at the dining area.
Pholo: Hi...
Momo: Hi
Pholo: Let me use the rest room then we can
talk, i cancelled my appointments for today so
we can talk.
Momo: Ok...

He got in the bathroom and peed before

drinking lots of water, she put away the towel
and sat on the couch waiting...

Meanwhile in the bathroom Pholo stared at

himself on the mirror, tears filled his eyes as he
swallowed then he leaned over and washed his
face before walking out...
In the sitting room Momo's heart pounded as
Pholo walked back in and sat on the other
couch opposite hers. There was silence as they
awkwardly say there..

Pholo: Thanks for that message you sent

because it made me see that I can't avoid this
anymore... I didn't even realise that I'm
neglecting you.

His private hospital pager beeped, he looked at

it and switched it off...

Pholo: I am not ready to lose you.

His phone rang, he sighed and picked leaning

back putting the caller on loud speaker..
Pholo: Hello?
Voice: Dr Bathusi you're needed in ICU
Pholo: I cannot make it. I have a family
emergency. Call Dr George
Voice: He is in Gaborone, this patient might not
make it. We are operating with 2 nurses.
Pholo: I cannot make it.

He hung up and sighed rubbing his hands

anxiously...

Pholo: I've been working too hard, attending

patients at the public hospital and private
hospital is taking its toll on me because i hardly
rest. I've been so focused on making money but
it's of no use if we don't spend time and enjoy it
together. I don't want to lose you so i have to
quit my other job... One of them has to go..
His phone rang, he looked at the screen, it was
the public hospital this time. He switched off
his phone and sighed...

Pholo: I'll leave the other job, so we can spend

enough time, will that stop you from thinking
about the divorce?
Momo: I'm just lonely that's all, I've been laying
next to a stranger for a year... I'm saying
stranger because i don't know what you're
thinking, or where you're half the time
Pholo: Babe it's always the hospital, what are
you insinuating?
Momo: We don't even kiss or touch each other..

He sighed and popped his knuckles..

Pholo: I think we should go for marriage
counselling... Sometimes things are better
explained by a professional or with the help of a
professional counsellor... I have things that i
want to tell you but I'm also afraid to get hurt in
return.
Momo: When did we reach a point where we
can't discuss anything?
Pholo: Sometimes life does that... I don't know
either, I'm just realising now that I've been
ignoring you for far too long and you're not
wrong to think about divorce, but i can't let you
go without putting up a fight especially because
i started all these. Please...
Momo: (sighed) Ok.
Pholo: Do you mind 2pm? I already talked to the
marriage counsellor, i didn't want us to call our
parents because they may not understand
certain things or they might judge harshly.
Momo: Ok. Can i go bath?
Pholo: Sure
Momo: Let's go shower together?
Pholo: (reluctantly) Um... I don't like bathing
with you when I'm coming from the hospital, the
hospital is packed with all kinds of infections.
Momo: Must be hard having to keep up with the
lies, you're not coming from the hospital
remember? You're from the delta
Pholo: Yes but i was attending tourists, who
knows what else they had.. I might be a lot of
things my love, but I'm not a cheater. I can't
handle your needs so how can i possibly
frustrate one more woman.

She got up and walked in the bathroom, he

headed to the bedroom and took off his clothes,
he laid down for a little rest but he dozed off.
At Therisano's House...

Meanwhile Terry and his friends jumped as their

team scored, his phone rang then he grabbed
his phone and walked to the bedroom...

Terry: Hello?
Momo: (softly) Hi

He smiled caught by surprise as he slowly

closed the door and sat on the bed.

Terry: Ey...
Momo: Nna ke bata gota kogo wena {I want to
come to you}
Terry: Um... Where is your husband?
Momo: Sleeping in the bedroom.
Terry: Babe you can't see me when he is around,
we have to be careful akere?
Momo: He won't notice when I'm gone, and he
doesn't care. Nna ke eta
Terry: Not when he is around, let's wait until he
goes to work at least... Watch a movie or
something...
Momo: I'm getting in the car
Terry: Babe? Please get back in there and act
like you normally do.
Momo: No
Terry: Wa gana?
Momo: Ng, where is your house?
Terry: I'm not telling you because rago
tshwarwa hela ise re dire sepe. {because we are
going to get caught before even doing anything}
There was silence as he waited for her
response, she sniffled in the background...

At Momo's House...

Meanwhile sitting in the car Momo rubbed her

tears holding the phone to her ear...

Terry: Are you crying ne motho wame?

Momo: (sniffled and blew her noise) O siame
akere o gana ke ta koo, nna ibile akena sepe.
{You don't want to drop by, it's fine. I don't care
anyways}

She rubbed her eyes and started the car.

Momo: I'm coming...

At Terry's House...

On the other side of the phone Terry sighed

holding the phone.

Terry: (took a deep breath and sighed) Kana if

you come to my house you won't be able to
walk for a couple of hours if not a day, and he
will be looking for you. That's too much of a
risk...
Momo: It's fine if i won't walk
Terry: Alright, let me send you directions.
Momo: Ok

He hung up and walked in the living room where

the guys were loudly discussing the goal.

Terry: Guys you have to go, i have a visitor on

the way.
Friend: Who?
Terry: You don't know her
Friend2: (smiled) "Her"?
Terry: (laughed) Guys come on, get your shit
and go...

He switched off the TV while they were

watching, the other one went for the remote but
Terry grabbed it first.

Terry: Go...
Friend: (laughed) Look at you blushing
Terry: (smiled) Fuck you... On a serious note
guys come on... I have to clean up and get rid of
your beer and shit.

He grabbed their necks from behind and

dragged them all the way to the car.

Terry: Shapo,
Friend: Omo jele gore it's been 3 months {make
sure you make up for the last 3 months}

Terry smiled and gave him the middle finger as

they drove off then he turned back and got in
the house where he picked their cans and pizza
box....

Minutes later Momo parked at the gate and

remained in the car looking at a bulldog laying
under the tree, she took out her phone and
typed a message.

Momo: 😊Ey fixer, I'm at the gate.

She sent it to Pholo and put down the phone
waiting for Terry to open the gate.

At Terry's House...
Terry grabbed the bucket and filled it with water
in the bathroom before walking out of the
house to fill his dog's water container. He
frowned noticing Momo's car at the gate, after
pouring for the dog he splashed half of the
bucket on the ground where his dog dug a hole
for cooling itself.

In the car, Momo took a deep breath and sighed

as Terry walked over, he was just putting on a
white vest and gray sweatpants but they looked
so much better on him... He had a flat tummy
and his shoulders were broad... Her eyes
dropped down to the strings hanging in front of
his pants, and there it was.

He opened for her then she drove in, he closed

the gate and followed the car...
Terry: Why didn't you page me? How long have
you been waiting?
Momo: I sent the message mme kana, i haven't
been waiting for long though
Terry: Ok..

He opened the door for her then she stepped

out..

At Momo's House...

Meanwhile Pholo peed in the toilet then he

headed to the kitchen...

Pholo: Babe? Momo?

He walked in the kitchen and drunk water as he

clicked on his messages.

Wifey: 😊Ey fixer, I'm at the gate.

He frowned confused and stared at the
message reading it again, then he dialled her
number and leaned against the counter as it
rang until it stopped. He forwarded her
message to his brother.

Pholo: That's from Momo, i laid down for a few

minutes, when I woke up she was gone then i
received that message.

The brother called...

Pholo: Hello
Yaone: Have you told her?
Pholo: Not yet, i prefer to do it with a marriage
counsellor. We have an appointment in a few
hours
Yaone: Did she agree to go counselling with you?
Pholo: Yes, but knowing that she is already
cheating on me hurts me, from this message
she is cheating... What do you think will happen
when I let her through my vulnerability.
Yaone: I feel like if you're honest with her, she
will understand... If she is cheating you pushed
her... I know in your head you think you're
protecting yourself and preventing a divorce,
but your actions are actually doing the opposite.
Pholo: So it's my fault that she is cheating?
Yaone: Tell her what's going on if you want to
be treated fairly.. It's wrong what she is doing
but she is acting on assumptions.. If you don't
trust her to stand with you on this then divorce.
Pholo: Ok, i hear you. Let me get ready for our
counselling session..
Yaone: How are you feeling?
Pholo: About what? The fact that I'm a doctor
but I can't cure myself or the fact that my
marriage is falling apart too?
Yaone: I understand how you feel, but that's
what God is there for
Pholo: Let me get ready for the session
Yaone: Sure

He hung up and got ready for the session...

At Maya's House

Maya walked out of the house with a bucket of

laundry then she hung the clothes, the baby
daddy's girlfriend drove through the gate and
stopped inch from her...

Maya: if you hit me with the car ke go kabolla

ditsebe, nxla!

She stepped out of the car and walked towards

the laundry then she picked his wet clothes and
put them in the boot..

Her: (signed with awkward tones coming out)

Where is Titus?

She could tell what she was saying, but for the
fun of it she just turned and walked to the
house. The girlfriend followed her inside and
headed to the bedroom..
Maya: Wow, really? He is not here... I don't even
know how to talk to you... Titus is not here!

She checked in their child's room and he wasn't

there, she sat on the couch and crossed her
legs...

Maya: Your man is not here..

The girlfriend picked the remote and turned

subtitles on then she leaned back and watched
the movie. Maya carried on with her laundry...

Minutes later Titus walked in carrying his

daughter and put her down, the little girl smiled
at girlfriend and signed "Hello auntie" the
girlfriend smiled back and signed as they did
high five before she ran to her room. The
girlfriend stood up and folded her arms..

Her: Where did you sleep last night?

Titus: Not now, i told you it was my turn to feed
her.
Her: Let's go..

She grabbed his hand as he walked out

following her...

Titus: (put his hand over his mouth so she

wouldn't see his mouth move) I'll see you
tomorrow babe a utwe?
Maya: Fosek Titus
Titus: Sorry laiteaka, nta doja

He got in passenger seat and closed the door

then she drove off...

At the counselling room...

Later on Pholo looked at the time on his wrist, it

was a minute to now, but she wasn't here. The
door opened then he stood up and got inside...

Marriage counselor: Where is Mrs Bathusi?

Pholo: I don't know..

He looked down embarrassed.

Her: Did you two manage to talk?

Pholo: No, i didn't know where to start...
Her: You should have faith in her...
There was a knock on the door then Momo
walked in and sat down..

Momo: My phone switched off and i didn't have

a charger

Pholo turned and looked at her then he sighed

and faced the counselor...

Her: I understand Mrs Bathusi, I've been seeing

your husband individually for a couple of
months... But it was for a different issue,
Momo: For what?
Her: Depression..
Momo: That's news to me...What's he
depressed about?
Her: Pholo please talk to your wife. I'm not a
messenger, I'm just here to create a conductive
environment for the flow of your conversation.

Pholo turned around and looked at her...

Pholo: Last year i noticed a few changes in my

body and my suspicion was diabetes but i didn't
want to believe it so i tried a couple of things
and over the counter medication, but things
only got worse, i was always tired, always
thirsty and i peed frequently... Above all i lost
interest in sex.. My libido just dropped dead but
in January when i tried to force myself for your
sake, i realised that not only did my sex drive
drop i cannot maintain an erection, I've tried to
watch porn or do anything to get myself hard
it's not happening. My sperms are also too
weak... Exams show that my chances of ever
having a child are a little to none... I tried to
avoid every sexual encounter with you by not
bathing with you or sleeping next to you just so
you don't get to know I'm half the man you
thought i am. Instead of telling you that I'm sick
i decided to get a second job so I can make
more money for you.... But its only making
matters worse because now i don't rest, from
the government hospital i go straight to the
private hospital, i neglect you while trying to
make money to impress you. Clearly you don't
need money, you need love, attention and sex...
I'm sorry for keeping all these away from you. It
hurts me too that i can't have sex...The
possibility of you cheating on me breaks my
heart ...i don't know what to do.

He sighed and leaned back looking away as he

blinked a couple of times.

At the counselling...

Mokgabo stared at him speechless...

Counsellor: Mrs Bathusi? Do you have anything

to say?

Momo: I don't know what to say... I'm just

shocked... And i don't understand why he kept
this away from me for so long...I didn't
understand what was going on because
throughout these years our marriage has been
exemplary.. Then January we tried having sex,
he didn't seem interested... I thought it was
because i gained weight, so i started losing
weight then he just never came back... I even
thought I'm the reason we haven't had children...
All along i thought maybe he has a family out
there.. He just came home and slept on the
couch every day for the past months...

Pholo: I was afraid you'd see me different, i was

afraid to let you know because i didn't know
how you'll react..

Momo: But you made me assume the worst, i

was even beginning to resent you.
Pholo: I'm sorry. I understand that my actions
might have caused you to do things you
wouldn't normally do, and for that i apologise...i
guess I just want to know if things can go back
to normal... When we got married we said in
sickness and in health but you also deserve to
live the best life, have sex and the number of
children you want. If you cannot handle this i
will understand and give you a peaceful
divorce... It will break me but I'll survive.
Momo: I cannot divorce you because of your
condition, i can also wake up sick one day and
I'd expect you to support me.
Pholo: I'm not accusing you, and I'm saying this
at the risk of sounding like I'm accusing you but
if you were thinking about cheating or actually
did cheat i want us to deal with it and make
sure it doesn't happen. I've also decided to drop
the other job so we can spend more time
together... Please say something, i don't want to
be the only one talking.
Her: He is right... Let's be open Momo, try to
address every he mentioned too. Start with how
you see him now..

Momo: I'm glad he is not cheating so at least he

is still the calm man i married. I'll support him
because now i know what we are up against..
As for cheating, i didn't cheat...

Pholo: ( looked at her) Who mr fixer? That's

where you're from right? Can we be honest so
we can have a solid foundation.

Her heart skipped, it all came back to her...

Terry saying he didn't see her message...

Pholo: Who is he?

Momo: The message was meant to stress you
so you can pay attention to me. I felt neglected
so i thought if i made you think someone is
giving me that attention then you'll work hard to
bring back our marriage.

Counsellor: Ok, I'm glad that there is no

infidelity because most of my clients biggest
issue ya bone is cheating. Now i want us to
address your sex life...
Pholo: I think things will improve now that I'm
honest with her, we can explore other ways of
pleasing one another..
Her: Momo what do you think?
Momo: I think it's best we let it be spontaneous
because if we plan it now it might be
predictable
Pholo: (smiled) That's actually a good idea
He looked at her blushing and turned back at
the counsellor smiling...

Pholo: This actually turned out better than i

thought... (looked at Momo) Thank you..

He stood up and hugged her tightly, she tried to

let go but he held her so dearly, tears burned his
eyes and while still hugging her he put his hand
over his face behind her aa he rubbed his eyes.

Pholo: Thank you... Thank you so much...

Meanwhile Momo took a deep breath still

hugging him, Terry turned out so much better
than she thought, he didn't just want to have
sex with her he wanted to do it when she is in
her right mind...must admit when those HIV
results came out at the testing center she felt
her heart almost fall to the floor. The smile on
Terry's face when he noticed one line for each
of them... Hopefully the person who tested
them doesn't know her...

Pholo: Right?
Momo: What?
Pholo: You didn't hear me?
Momo: My mind was somewhere else, this is
our financial year so I'm totally preoccupied
Pholo: (kissed her) I understand... (cupped her
cheeks and smiled) I was thinking... We should
get leaves and travel...
Momo: (smiled) That would be great... I'd love
that...

He hugged her and swung her around then he

laughed looking at the marriage Counsellor

Pholo: Sorry
Her: It's ok, it actually gives me joy to see my
clients happy..

Momo smiled quietly with her arm around

Pholo...

At the Titus's girlfriend's

Meanwhile she typed on the tablet and turned it

around showing him "I want to have a baby". He
looked at her emotionally.

Titus: I'm a bad father to a 5 year old

Her: You're a good father, but i get lonely when
you go spend time at your baby mamas. I know
i should dump you because you don't respect
me, and maybe i will one day but right now i
want you despite the pain I'm going through. I
feel like an outsider...I'm also very lonely
because very few people know sign language, I
know that baby will make me happy. I know you
won't be there full time because of your
daughter but i can't make a baby by myself.

Titus swallowed rubbing his hands together...

Titus: I don't know what to think..

Her: You know i can take care of my baby if you
don't, being deaf doesn't make me dump or a
burden. I just want your sperm, whether you
choose to be a father or not is up to you.
Titus: Having kids with different women is
complicated... Plus my daughter is still a baby.
Her: Ok, leave my house then because this
relationship is one sided
Titus: Ok, can i think about it first? Give me a
day
Her: Ok

She stood up and walked in bedroom...

At the hospital...

Later that evening Terry walked in carrying a

plastic bag and stopped by his mother's bed.
Her tumour was clearly growing bigger and
faster...

Her: (smiled) Hello my boy... Last night i had a

dream about your wedding.... You were
marrying a pregnant woman.
Terry: I'm still saving the money for your
operation in South Africa..
Her: You should spend that money on yourself
and build yourself a family, I'm dying and I have
lived my life... Your father might have taken
away some of it with his treatment but you
definitely gave me a reason to smile...
Terry: I want my kids to have a good
grandmother... And i want my wife to know that
there are mother in laws who are sweet like you.
I'm left with a couple of months, i promise by
December we will be in South Africa... Then i
can start looking for a relationship, if I date now
my girlfriend will expect me to take care of her,
and if i date i risk having a baby which i can't
afford because I'm saving everything I have
Her; I've had my time...
Terry: And I'm done having this conversation
with you... The medical aid is paying and I'm
paying the other fees. You'll be alright...
Her: If you don't date you'll turn into a rapist you
know
Terry: (laughed) I'm not dating, i didn't say I'm
not having sex. Just because you're single
doesn't mean you're starving
Her: So now you're buying prostitutes?
Terry: (laughed) She is happily married
Her: So she is using you?
Terry: And i appreciate that because she is not
looking for a relationship or anything serious
Her: Her husband will find out and kill you
Terry: I'll make sure he doesn't find out because
i don't to ruin my reputation or business,
Her: I'm not happy with you breaking another
man's family. You're better than that Terry, i
didn't raise you like that.
Terry: Please have something to eat...

He stood up and took out a few things..

Terry: How are the nurses treating you?

Her: There is a Dr who is very nice, he calls me
mama... He says that i remind him of his late
mother. (laughed) now nurses call me his
mother, they call mmagwe Dr
Terry: (smiled) ok, that's good...

There was a knock then the doctor stuck his

head in smiling...

Doctor: Mama! I'm about to take the next shift

kare ke go dumedise
Her: Oh Doctor, i was just telling my son about
you, come in..

Terry turned around smiling, but his smile

dissolved as soon as he looked at Momo's
husband.

Pholo smiled surprised and shook hands with

Terry.

Pholo: I met him before, i just didn't know he is

your son... He fixed our sink yesterday right?
Terry: Yes...
Pholo: Your mother reminds me of my mother,
she died of diabetes when I was a teenager.
Terry: Sorry about your mother,
Pholo: It's ok, your mother told me you're saving
for her operation. I have savings enough to
cover your bills so maybe we can sign a
contract so you take your mother for that
operation since she needs it urgently. No
interest, just helping a brother save his mother
cause i know what it's like to lose the one
person you grew up telling yourself you will
spoil when you grow up.

Terry's heart sunk and he swallowed staring at

Terry: Thanks doc, but I'm expecting a big

subcontract from the turn key construction
company. We get 50% upfront and the balance
after... But if i don't get it I'll let you know..
Pholo: Alright no problem. By the way my
brother is coming to Maun tomorrow, maybe we
can hang out... Mama says you don't drink or go
out so maybe+
Terry: (laughed) I do go out but the guys leave
me in the car cause i don't drink and I hate the
crowd..
Pholo: That's exactly what I was... A driver for
my drinking friends... So what do you say?

Terry smiled and shoulder bumped with him,

the feeling of actually having a big brother was
overwhelming

Terry: Um... Sure, of course. I'd love to... Get my

number

They exchanged numbers then Terry's phone

rang, he turned around and calmly picked the
call while unpacking his mother's things.

Terry: Hi
Momo: Hi, just checking on you...where are you?
Terry: I'm at the hospital, checking on my
mother. Can we talk in a minute?
Momo: Sure, bye
Terry: Ok, bye.

He hung up as his mother and the doctor

chatted.

Pholo: (to his mother) See you later

Mother: Ok my boy, bye
Pholo: (to him) Shap
Terry: Sure

He walked out as Terry looked at him then he

turned back and prepared his mother's food...

At the office...

Pholo walked in the office dialling his brother...

Yaone: What's up?

Pholo: I'm good... The counselling session went
so much better than i expected. Momo is so
understanding, i judged my girl too early..
Yaone: See, what did I say
Pholo: I regret the time i spent stalling and
stressed for nothing..
Yaone : How is the treatment for the sperm
motility?
Pholo: I haven't checked for an update but i
trust this medication, i just need to keep having
sex then maybe she will miss her period.
Him: Isn't there medicine for ED?
Pholo: It's there, i bought Livitra, it's just like
viagra but stronger..my problem isn't just ED,
the interest in sex, the libido is gone but these
medicines need you to be sexual aroused.
Him: You'll be fine very soon, depression and
keeping it a secret is what made it worse, the
fact that you have less stress now means
action very soon
Him: Yeah, will see how it goes tonight...
(laughed) I hope i don't react badly to the
medication., some people react badly such that
they don't lose the erection and you actually go
to the hospital.
Him: (laughed) Don't be negative, reta utwa teng.
Shap, see you tomorrow
Pholo: Sure, Bye

He hung up and sat down as he smiled texting

his wife.

Pholo: Hi babe, hope you enjoy yourself. Can't

wait for us to finish our plans for the next trip.

He sent to her and carried on with work...

At Maya's House...

Meanwhile Maya and her daughter watched

cartoons together, a car stopped outside and
she jumped walking to the door expecting Titus
but it was just a passing car. She typed a
message but stopped midway and sent a voice
note instead.

Maya: Getting ready to go out, i told the

babysitter to call you in case of an emergency
since my date is taking me far where there is no
network.

She sent the voice note and laid down watching

work her girl.
At the girlfriend's House...

Titus received his food in a tray and took the

first bite then his phone vibrated. He clicked on
the voice note and stood up.

Titus: My colleague is having an allergy reaction,

i have to take him to the hospital. I'll be back.

He grabbed his keys and hurried out... She got

up and packed his clothes then she threw them
in the boot and drove off...

At Terry's House...

Later on laid on his back going through his

business documents, he clearly wasn't going to
get any money anytime soon..
his phone rang then he picked...

Terry: Hi
Momo: Hi, you said we need to talk?
Terry: Yes... Your husband is my mother's
doctor and he is good to her, even me. He even
offered to borrow me 40K for my mother's
operation... I refused because of my pride... But
i need it...so I'm going to take him on that offer...
And I don't want to betray him. He is a good
guy... He is like the brother I never had
Momo: 40K is nothing, I'll get the money from
his savings account and give you. He has been
depositing money in there for me, i just never
needed it because I was depressed thinking he
is cheating
Terry: Wait, so you'll borrow me the money?
Momo: No, I'm just giving you but you can't get
cold feet. In return i want sex... Lots and lots of
sex. If i call you cause i need it then you have to
be there...
Terry: Your husband is my mother's doctor,
what if he finds out and kills my mother?
Medical people are dangerous because they kill
with injections some of which can't be proven...
Momo: You watch too much forensic files.
That's why we need to be very careful,
Terry: My neighbours are nosy they will tell him.
Momo: Hotels are there for a reason
Terry: Fuck, I'm getting cold feet. I feel like I'm
sleeping with my brother's wife. Don't you feel
bad?
Momo: I do but i need sex too
Terry: I can't... I'm sorry, it will be the biggest
betrayal. I can't.
Momo: (sighed) Uh, Ok, Bye. I'll delete your
number.

She hung up and sighed shaking her head..

At Momo's House...

Early in the morning, while I still in bed Momo

moved her butt over to Pholo, he remained
asleep so she moved her butt a little further on
to his di... For any normal man this would be a
clear sign of the morning glory, but Pholo
stretched his back and went to pee in the
bathroom before getting back in bed giving her
his back. Having to ask for sex as a woman was
already embarrassing, and she tried not to ask
for it for the past 3 months... Her musturbations
weren't working... This time she needed the real
thing inside her stroking her. She moved closer
and put her hand over him touching his soft
meat...

Pholo just laid there thoughtfully, he still

couldn't understand what kind of woman needs
so much sex like she didn't have other things to
think about, he made an effort and gave her a
good one just months ago.... It still didn't seem
enough, and her always touching him was
almost like a reminder of what he couldn't do
for her. Turns out they're wrong about women
who do nothing... Apparently unemployed
women just have sex and give birth to children
every year, but not Momo. She had to always
ask for it...

He got out of bed and headed to the kitchen

where he made her breakfast...

Meanwhile Momo sighed reached for her phone,

she clicked on Google and typed, "How survive
ovulation without having sex." she read a few
articles and searched again, "How to stop
wanting sex" "How to stop baby fever" she read
a few articles and arrived at the article titled,
"How to be celibe". She read the article from the
beginning to the end. Pholo walked in with the
food then she smiled and sat up...
Momo: Thank you so much...

He leaned over and kissed her..

Pholo: Can we talk?

Momo: Ok...

He sat on the edge of the bed and sighed

looking at her...

Pholo: It's about sex...

Momo: Sorry about earlier
Pholo: Don't apologise but, i need to know
something... If roles were different... If you
couldn't have sex... Not by choice but because
of the condition you're in.. Would you be OK
with me asking for sex almost every day even if
you manage to do it whenever you can?
Wouldn't you think I'm being insensitive?

She looked down embarrassed running the fork

across the plate..

Pholo: I don't understand what you expect me

to do, I've given you my ATM cards, i give you
my time... I quit my second job for you, I'm
doing everything I can to make you happy but
you always have to remind me that I'm not man
enough by touching me so I can fail to get hard
and be stressed the whole day. Do you think
you're a supportive wife? Or you're addicted to
sex because i know normal women don't want
sex the way you do...

Momo rubbed her tear with her finger and put

down the fork.

Momo: I was just joking in the morning, i didn't

want sex. I wanted to check if you're still
sleeping... We don't have to discuss this, it's
embarrassing...
Pholo: I understand that you have needs Momo
but I also have a situation that's stressing me,
can't you be a little supportive?
Momo: I said I'm sorry, we don't have to talk
about it for so long. This is so embarrassing, it's
like ke rata morobalo thata, sorry rra.
Pholo: I'm just saying stop asking for it every
chance you get, it's like everything is about sex.
Can't we show each other love without
expecting sex? I suggested we get sex toys and
you don't feel comfortable, those would have
helped us because i wouldn't mind using them
on you. I'm trying too..
Momo: Thanks for the food, they're delicious...

He smiled looking at her and kissed her before

getting up.

Pholo: You're welcome, I'm going to pick Terry

and his mother from the airport.
Momo: Where are they coming from?
Pholo: The money we were borrowing him was
for his mother's operation, they went to SA
because the price was reasonable there..
Momo: Ok... From here I'm going to do my nails
and hair then I'm going to Renei's house to help
her with the house warming preparations.
Pholo: Alright, i love you
Momo: I love you more
He got ready while she ate...

At Terry's mothers...

The guys carried the bags inside the house as

Pholo looked around...

Pholo: You built your mother a 3 bedroom

house?
Terry: Yeah, well... Some of us come from
nothing... I literally had to take care of my
mother with my student allowance. Some
students said allowance isn't enough for them
but i supported my mother with it, bought her
clothes with my book allowance and
downloaded soft copies instead of buying
books. One of the reasons I don't drink is
because it's expensive and it messes with your
thinking. My father drunk a lot, even died drunk
so i swear I'll never drink. O built her first then
she told me to find my own plot and built for my
wife and kids. She says mother in laws are
annoying so she doesn't want to annoy my wife
when I get one.
Pholo: (laughed) That's something she'd say...

The house helper walked in the living room..

Her: Should i bring food?

Terry:Ask her, I'll see you two later. Call me if
her condition changes
Her: Ok

The guys went to the bedroom and bid her

goodbye before driving off. On the way Pholo
noticed an old man selling concoction in
bottles for men, he slowed down and indicated...

Terry: O reka dio tse le wena? {You also use

these things?}
Pholo: I'm just giving them a try, i don't have the
urge to have sex, the thing with viagra is that it
gives you the erection with the help of an
arousal, at times i get hard but not wanting sex
at all.
Terry: How many times do you have sex?
Pholo: I've had sex once in the last 3 months
Terry: Doesn't your wife complain?
Pholo: She does, it's even annoying...
Terry: Be patient with her, 3 months mr is a lot...
Pholo: I'm also trying my best, I've gone down to
the point of buying concoctions.
They rolled down the window as the old man
walked over...

Him: This one gives you stamina... Hao palama

mosadi omo hologa phakela, we call it lalavoka.
This one in the oros bottle gets the big boy up
and hard...
Pholo: Will i want her? Ke bata nopa..
Him: This is nops straight... It starts working an
hour after drinking. This one delays ejaculation...
And this one has a mixture of moporota. Every
man gives his son to drink while growing up so
they can grow a strong big penis, this is why
men from Maun, Shakawe and areas around
here are big... E kopi is important for every
man...

Pholo: Can i drink it at my age?

Him: Yes, (to Terry) what about you?
Terry: No, I'm good. I've no complaints so far.
Ke eme shapo, it doesn't take much to turn me
on, even when i see dogs or donkeys mating i
get hard. Le message hela wa nkgona...

He poured a full cup for Pholo then he leaned

over and drunk, he took out his wallet and paid
for two bottles then he got in the car...

Pholo: Tanki
Him: Tanki

He started the car and drove off as Terry looked

at him..

Terry: Is it kicking in?

Pholo: I don't know, will see how it goes
Terry: If I'm crossing the line let me know, do
you make sure she cums though? You don't
need a dic all the time, there are three ways,
toys like dildos, flicking her clit until she comes
or fingering her. Let me see your hands...

Pholo showed him his hand...

Terry: You should take care of your hands, you

shouldn't have nails if you're going to put your
hands in a woman's panty.
Pholo: These just grew, but i still wouldn't finger
a woman, that's just weird. She doesn't want a
dildo
Terry: She is already compromising by being
faithful, cut your nails and do it for her.
Pholo: And I once did it years ago before we got
married, she said I hurt her clit and i was too
rough.
Terry: Ee clit e sensitive, you need lube or you
have to make sure she is wet.
Pholo: I'll try the concoction.
Terry:OK

Minutes Later he stopped at Terry's gate then

he stepped out.

Terry:I'll see you later at the party, let me bath

Pholo: Sure

He reversed and drove off...

At Maya's House...
Titus sat on the bed Angrily staring at her as
she applied lipstick...

Titus: O isa bofebe gone kwa akere?

Maya: Sfebe is a cheater, I'm not a Sfebe I'm
single and searching. I hope you'll not leave our
daughter alone to go spy on me. This is a house
warming party for Dr Pholo's brother.
Titus: Don't flatter yourself... I have a new
girlfriend.
Maya: Good for you, maybe she is lucky you
won't cheat on her since she is imaginary.
Titus: Can't we be single and raise our daughter
properly? I'm sorry for being rude
Maya: Waii, the only way I'm going to take you
back is if you come with a ring.
She fixed her hair and stood up then she walked
out as Titus followed her around with a long
face.

At the house warming party...

Momo stood by the sink while some of her

cousin in law's chatted...

Cousin: So Yaone's wife is pregnant?

Cousin2: Yeah, (to Momo) when are you going
to have a baby?
Momo: When the time is right.
Cousin:What time? He is a doctor and you're an
accountant, you both have money..
Cousin3: Maybe she has issues, tsholo kana
isn't for everyone... It likes the poor and hates
the rich. You can't have it all...

Yaone's wife walked in and caught the last of

her words...

Her: Excuse you? Momo what did she say?

Momo walked out...

Her: Leave my house, all three of you. Don't

even say anything.. Hamba.

They washed their hands and walked out then

she walked to her daughters room where Momo
was sitting.

Her: I told them to leave, they're lucky Maya isn't

here. She would have filled their ears with all
kinds of toxins..
Momo: I'm used to people saying that..
Her: The guys are outside, go give them drinks,
I'll follow with snacks if they want..

Maya walked in her heels and laughed loudly

turning around...

Maya: Wow, guys... There is this hot guy with

Pholo, what's his name?
Renei: (laughed) Terry? Ei that guy has a nice
smile but nothing kills me about him than his
voice, moguy has thee voice.
Ha bua wa kgobola hela... If you had him for a
sleepover and thieves hear him talking inside
they'd run.
Maya: He looks like a good fucker, sometimes
you can tell a guy is a good fucker from how he
conducts himself... He is very cool, and he
doesn't show you that he likes you... I like a guy
like that, i hate guys bago phapha calling you
babe before you even agree on anything.
Renei: Terry ene mme ke snack mwato... The
ring limits us from tasting good things.
Maya: Gape bo Terry you can all take turns on
him peacefully, cause a guy like that isn't for
keeps. Too cute for a permanent boyfriend, he
is heartbreaker. I'm going to get his number
tonight..
Renei: (laughed) Keep it safe, I'll need it when
Yaone starts cheating. I'm the kind of wife that
cheats back and with a guy like Terry...
Momo: (laughed) I even forgot i was hurt, lona
kana. Let's go give the guys some drinks.
Maya: I'm going to serve Terry, what beer does
he drink?
Momo: He doesn't drink, but i think grapetiser
would do..

They walked to the kitchen...

Meanwhile outside the guys stood by the braai

stand putting charcoal inside as more people
arrived.

Terry squatted and turned the marinated meat

around with the holding fork, the ladies
approached and he slowly stood up looking at
Momo, she had dressed in the most simplest
way he'd ever seen her in, a splittted skirt with a
Tshirt tied behind her and some sneakers... A
whole accountant looking so young and
beautiful...
Momo walked towards her husband and
handed him a drink, Pholo held her waist
whispering something in her ear and she
blushed laughing, could that concoction have
worked? The thought of him sweating on top
Momo suddenly felt so painful... She didn't even
look at him, not once has she acknowledged
him in the past 3 months... Did she easily write
him off just like that?

Maya: Hi, my name is Maya. Here is a drink

Terry: Thanks..

He put the drink in the cooler and kept turning

the meat..

Maya: What do you do?

Terry: I'm a boyfriend to some dramatic girl..
Maya: Oh
Terry: Yeah, sorry
Maya: Nah its cool, she is a lucky girl
Terry : Thanks...

He picked the meat container and carried to the

braai stand where the guys were standing.

Yaone: Maya wants you... Wa blusher blusher

Terry: I'm a chaser, I hunt...
Yaone: She has a crazy baby daddy that one

Terry glanced at Pholo and Momo standing

behind the car kissing, his heart pounded as
they lit the braai and laid the meat, more guys
arrived and they began braai as the music
played. He glanced behind the cars, it was now
getting dark and they were still kissing.

He turned back to the guys who were chatting

loudly and laughing, but he wasn't even sure
what they were laughing about because he
wasn't listening... He smiled and lifted the
corner of his lips forcing a smile then he looked
back, he couldn't see their heads now. They
were out of sight... His heart skipped then he
walked towards the cars... At this point he
wasn't sure what he would say once he got
there..

He turned putting his phone on his ear like he

was picking a call, and they jumped as Pholo
took out his hand from her panties and lowered
her dress, thank God it wasn't the dick!

Terry: Oh, shit, sorry. I didn't know anyone was

this side.
Pholo: It's ok...

They got their drinks and walked away holding

hands as he sighed in relief. He observed him
joining the guys while she walked towards the
end of the yard where they had parked their car.

Inside Momo's car..

Meanwhile Momo unlocked the door with her

flesh throbbing and slippery, she opened the
back door and bent over searching for a panty
liner, someone lifted her skirt from behind and
she turned around as Terry's chin rested on her
shoulder...

Momo: (muttered) Terry...

Meanwhile Momo unlocked the door with her

flesh throbbing and slippery, she opened the
back door and bent over searching for a panty
liner, someone lifted her skirt from behind and
she turned around as Terry's chin rested on her
shoulder...

Momo: (muttered) Terry...

Terry: Shhh...

She gasped as he pushed her soaking panties

aside with his mushroom head and stretched
his way through her pussy lips and popped
inside the ring of her warm pussy.

Terry: Awww...

He wrapped his forearm around her belly,

snugling her against his dick as he slid all the
way in and filled her, he reached what seemed
like the end as she felt stuffed up, but he
wanted his whole dick in there so he pushed
further, she leap on her toes grasping, but he
brought her back down and gently thrust...

The pleasure of his dick through her walls ran

through her body as she got even wet...

His hands pushed the cups of her bra away, he

squeezed the flesh of her breasts and twisted
her tits while thrusting through her flesh...

Pholo walked towards the cars, Still plugged

inside her Terry slowly closed the door and
staggered back with his arm around her belly.
He stopped behind the second bigger car and
put his hand over her mouth then he slowly
thrust her as they both stared him checking in
the car. He closed the car and walked away as
Momo pushed him off...
Momo: (whispering) Terry, i have to go..

He thrust deeper and let go of her waist now

thrusting her freehand...

Terry: (panting) You can go... I'm not holding

you...

Momo supported herself with the car as hef

breasts shook, of course she wanted to pull
away but every thrust tapped a pleasurable
spot...

Seeing she wasn't pulling away, he pulled down

her panties and took them out her legs then he
shoved it in his pocket, he turned her around as
they faced one another then he pressed the
head of his dick on her pussy lips and slid in...
Terry: Fuck... I love this pussy...(searched for
her lips with his) Come here..

He kissed her and begun thrusting...

Pholo: Babe?!

He paused and looked at Pholo approaching as

he looked behind cars, unable to pull out of her
sweetness he pounded her deeper forcing the
deep breathing out of her mouth as he shoved
his whole dick inside her...

Momo's heart pounded as she looked at Pholo

approaching but the dick felt so good she
couldn't move even if she wanted, she looked
down between them and watched his dick
thrusting in and out of her until she felt that
urge again, it felt so good....so good she turned
her eyes and felt her pussy clamping on that
dick, clamping uncontrollably as she released...

Terry pounded her as Pholo cam straight

towards their car, he could feel his body getting
tighter then he slid deeper inside her and
pumped his thick juice inside her twice but now
Pholo was too close so-

At the party...

Retracing his steps there was no way Pholo

knew or saw them, if anything he was
suspicious if he noticed the two of them were
missing for a few minutes, still he was on a
hunch and no fact, or he was just making a
conversation..

Cousin: The fact that you can actually do it

scares the shit out of me, I'd never fight for a
woman when there is plenty out there. No
woman is worth that risk..
Terry: That's because you haven't tasted a
pussy worth every risk... (smiled and sipped)
The power of kuku papa... When i was a
teenager i dated girls who had strict father's
because i liked the challenge that comes with
it...most guys were afraid to even say hi to them,
but not me. I said hi, got the number, dated the
girl and fucked her in her father's house... Pity
we had to break up because they got scolded
for starting boys but yeah, if you love her you'll
put your head under the axe and hope your
throat is strong enough to break the axe blade...
Cousin2: Uh no way, gaise a tsholwe o nka

Yaone: Talking of girls, kante Terry why are you
single? Are you? (gay hand flip) You better not
be (dropped his hand grayish) you know..

Terry: (laughed) I'll kick you... Nxla! I haven't

been dating because i was saving for my
mother, i didn't want to date a woman i can't
afford and call her a gold digger for simply
asking for hair money or these things women
like doing...
Yaone: Makes sense
Terry: Yeah

Terry walked over and stood next to Pholo and

begun braaing as they continued chatting...
At Maya's House...

Titus opened the door, his ex girlfriend walked

in then he closed the door. She sat down and
folded her arms as he sat down...

Titus: First of all I'm sorry for the way I've been
behaving, i know i haven't been good... But i just
wanted you to see how my nights are when i
say I'm babysitting. Half the time Maya would
be gone...

She looked at him reluctantly then she stood up

and walked to the bedroom where she checked
and their child's room....

He grabbed her hand as they stood in the

passage then he leaned over and kissed her,
she reached for his D then he picked her up and
carried her to her car where they got in the back
seating, she sat on his lap, he placed his hands
on her waist as they kissed then she reached
behind her and pulled her panties aside before
slowly sitting on it....

Inside Pholo's Car...

Later that night Pholo drove with one hand

while the other rested on his wife's thigh....

Pholo: Earlier at the party when i couldn't see

you and Terry, i actually thought the two of you
were out somewhere in a corner doing God
knows what
Her heart skipped but she laughed nervously
and frowned...

Momo: What?
Pholo: Yeah, sorry
Momo: It's ok, I'm just shocked that you think I
can actually cheat on you.
Pholo: Sorry, i don't even know why I would
think like that....
Momo: It's ok...

Minutes later he parked in the garage, they both

stepped out and walked in the house...

Pholo: So, i was thinking about what you said

about having kids months ago. I've been taking
boosters for my sperm motility...I haven't
checked the progress or anything cause the lab
tech who assisted me last is gone, i don't want
the new one to know me that deep too early....
And although i cannot be erect with the right
stimulation and powerful mind i can ejaculate...
You don't need to be erect to ejaculate. The only
thing we will be doing is to buy pregnancy test
over and over...and i don't want you to be
hopeful because chances of it not being a
success are very low....

Momo: (smiled surprised) You can still

ejaculate when you're not erect, we should keep
trying every now and then. Why didn't you tell
me?
Pholo: But babe don't be too excited... I don't
want to disappoint you.
Momo: Babe if there is a chance of having a
baby we shouldn't let it pass. (smiled) I'm

away and pushed the head in, the hope he had
earlier on the concoction disappeared as he
shamefully pushed the head in, he slowly begun
thrusting but not too much so he doesn't slip
out....

Laying underneath him she could feel the

shame as he turned his head, whatever
happened to the Pholo she married... She put
her arms over him and moaned softly moving
her waist...

Pholo turned his head to the other side

thrusting and it slipped out, she grabbed it and
shoved it back inside then he thrust once and it
slipped out again. His throat dried and hurt as
tears filled his eyes, he frowned and tears
dropped on her chest, he got off her but she
grabbed his hand and pulled him back to bed,
she got on top of him and kissed him while
shoving his huge meat inside her and filled
herself up, she slowly grinded sitting on him
and lifted his hands putting them on each of her
breasts, he soft twisted them and pulled her
neck down down kissing her...

Momo: I feel it inside me because its already

big without an erection so stop holding back...

She leaned back and moved her waist rubbing

herself on him moaning...

caressed her breasts and held her butt moving

She got offf as his juces dropped on his

her closer each of them lost in thoughts.

Pholo: Besides sex what else aren't you happy

about?
Momo: You were not spending time with me,
but ever since you quit your other job we spend
a lot of time together... The only thing that
made things awkward was the sex... But I've
found a solution.

Momo: Masturbation.

Maya: Yeah, I'm good...
Him: I got this OK?

She unlocked the door and they walked in while

Titus was sitting on the couch with his girlfriend,
as soon as he noticed a man walking in he
stood up looking at him and looked at Maya
confused...

Maya: Hi, thanks for babysitting, you two can go

spend quality time alone..

The girlfriend signed greeting her, Maya calmly

greeted her back..

Titus: Can we talk?

Maya: Sure, what's up?
Titus: In private
She followed him to the bedroom where he
closed the door.

Titus: Who is that?

Maya: My boyfriend.
Titus: Wow, OK...
Maya: Let this be the last time you bring your
girlfriend to my house now you're going too far.
I've tolerated your behaviour for far too long, it's
like I'm crazy so please don't provoke me.
Titus: How long have you been dating him?
Maya: It's none of your business but hear me
well, that girlfriend of yours must never.
Titus: Ee mma, i hear you

The door opened, the boyfriend walked in and

sat on the bed,

Titus: Bye
Maya : Bye

He walked out and left with his girlfriend,

Maya's eyes filled with tears as her colleague
stood up and hugged her.

Him: At least there was no fight, you can always

count on me to help out, but i really think the
two of you need to go for counselling for your
daughter's sake. Children who grow up in toxic
environment turn out bad
Maya: I'll consider that
Him: Come lock the door...
They walked out then he stepped out and
smiled before they fist bumped, he left then she
locked the door and went to bed.

At Yaone's House...

Later on the same night Yaone sighed

thoughtfully holding his wife...

Yaone: Did you notice that Terry and Momo

disappeared around the same time earlier?
Nei: They did?
Yaone: Yeah, and i don't like the way he looks at
Momo.
Nei: Maybe you're just jealous that your big
brother has a friend for the first time in your life
and you feel rejected.
Yaone: No one can break the bond i have with
my brother, i just don't trust friends. They
always betray you... His marriage is going
through shit and male friends always crush on
your wife. Majita are snakes because they will
laugh with you then turn around and use your
situation to your advantage. Pholo is very
sensitive and o talelwa ke stress easily...
Nei: I don't know what to say, talk to him. I'll talk
to Momo as well but you know me and her
aren't that close because we never really spend
time together. She is close to Maya and I'm not
close to her either. But I'll make a plan, gone
mme it happens for people to reach that point
in marriage and if we remind them of who they
are they won't hurt each other.
Yaone: Thank you my love...

He leaned over and kissed her, their daughter

pushed the door and walked in rubbing her eyes.

Her: I want to sleep with you, there is a bug in

my room.

He stretched his hand and picked her up then

she slept next to her mother while he pulled the
duvet over and put his arm around his wife.

At Momo's House...

The next morning Momo opened her eyes to

Pholo sitting next to her staring right at her, her
heart skipped as she sat up holding the sheets
to her chest...

Pholo: Where is your panty? The one you wore

yesterday?

Momo's heart pounded as she looked around

thoughtfully...

Momo: I think i put it in the bag or something..

Pholo: It's not there
Momo: You searched my handbag?
Pholo: Just wanted to help you by putting it in
the washing machine with the rest of the
clothes.
Momo: Still you searched me-
Pholo: (staring in her pupils) Babe focus, we are
talking about your panties, where are they?
Momo: I don't know maybe they fell, i don't
know
Pholo: (gently held her cheeks with his fingers)
Look at me...

Momo's heart pounded as she looked at him, he

stared in her eyes trying to speak but his eyes
welled then he let go of her and stood up...

Pholo: I woke up at 3am and i couldn't get back

to sleep... But its OK... I'm fine now.

He reached in his coat pocket and placed

emergency pill box in front of her then he
reached for the glass of water, he popped the
pill out...

Pholo: Open your mouth..

She opened her mouth then he put the pill in her

mouth.. She got the glass and drunk while he
looked at her then he got the glass.

Pholo: I love you..

Momo's eyes filled with tears and she slowly

rubbed her eyes...

Momo: (tearfully) Can i be honest about last

night?

Pholo's throat dried as he looked in her eyes

then he shook his head and hugged her as she
cried.

Pholo: Don't tell me... Just don't do it again...

She burst into tears crying, he leaned back and
put his forehead on hers before kissing her and
rubbing her cheeks.

Pholo: (whispered) It's ok, mistakes happen...

Look at me (she looked at him tearfully) It's not
your fault... You're only human... (he rubbed her
tears with his thumb) It's ok, mistakes happen...
It's my fault...i don't want you blaming yourself
for any of these... It's not your fault, I'm failing
you and I'll fix it.. I promise me
Momo: (crying) I'm sorry.
Pholo: (kissed her) It's ok, stop crying... Give me
your phone.

She handed him her phone then he searched for

Terry's number, he turned the phone and
showed her as she blocked him and deleted his
number. He put the phone down and hugged
her...

Pholo: Get ready for work, I'll pick you up at

lunchtime ok?

She nodded then he kissed her and walked out...

At Terry's House...

On the same morning Terry stepped out of the

house and started the car leaving it running as
he walked to the gate and opened, Pholo's car
approached, his heart skipped as Pholo stepped
out of the car and walked over in formal wear
and his coat on top...

Pholo: Good morning...

Ok, the voice was quite calm, maybe he didn't
know..

Pholo: Stay away from my wife, delete my

number too, and don't pay back the loan i gave
you because i don't ever want to see your face
again. People like you are the reason i don't
have friends... (swallowed and clenched his
Jaws in pain) You'll never find a friend like me...

He pointed at him wanting to say more but

nothing came out, just pain blocking his throat,
he swallowed and walked back to his car before
driving off.

Terry's throat dried as he swallowed staring at

his car disappearing into a cloud of dust.
At Yaone's House...

On the same morning Reneilwe placed

breakfast on the dining table as her husband
walked over carrying their daughter in her
school uniform...

They all sat down and held their hands together

for a prayer...

Yaone: It's your turn baby...

Daughter: Dear God thank you for the food,
bless the hand that prepared it, bless me, my
classmates and my teacher. Amen.
Parents: Amen
They smiled then she remembered something
and held their hands again...

Her: I forgot my family... Close your eyes..

They closed smiling..

Her: And my mommy and daddy, and the my

baby brother in mommy's stomach, A-men!
Both: Amen!

Yaone smiled and kissed her before they begun

eating. Minutes later they all got their bags and
there was a knock on the door. Nei opened the
door and smiled at Pholo but soon realised he
wasn't OK...
He walked in and put his hands in the pocket
looking at his brother... His niece ran over and
jumped on him as he smiled and picked her up
forcing a smile...

Pholo: Hello Star, can you go to your room?

Star: Ok

He put her down then she ran to her room, he

sighed and took a deep breath looking at his
brother.

Pholo: Can we talk?

Yaone:Sure, (to his wife) Babe ill find you two in
the car
Pholo: I need her too...
Nei stood next to Yaone as they looked at him
curiously, Pholo sat down and sighed, they both
sat down looking at him.

Pholo: It's not easy to ask you this, it's even

harder to say this in the presence of your wife
who i respect and love, i wouldn't ask if i didn't
have a choice...

His voice trailed off, Yaone's heart shuttered

looking at his brother struggle to speak, he
stood up and Pholo stood up at the same time
as they hugged. They stood there for a few
seconds then Pholo let go and took a deep
breath. They each took their seat and there was
a moment of silence...

Pholo: I don't know when I'll defeat my ED, but

my marriage is falling apart... My wife has
needs i cannot meet... There is no one out there
i can trust with my family except you, i also
need a child, we've been trying for years
now...your children are mine and yours are mine,
we are the same blood. I'd rather have my blood
than a stranger in my house... I need your help.

Yaone: You know there is nothing i wouldn't do

for you no matter how awkward it is but my
wife's happiness and peace is my priority.
Pholo: Of course
Yaone: So, this is entirely up to her, i don't want
her to give you an answer now. I want her to
think about it for as long as she needs to then
she will let us know. Is that fair?
Pholo: Sure...

He looked at her and she looked down then he

stood up.

Pholo: Nei if you're not comfortable with it I'll

understand, don't feel guilty. If your answer is
no I'll think of other ways.. O seka wa ikutswela
peace mo moweng ka nna. I haven't even talked
to Momo about this, i wanted to talk to you two
first before i can suggest it to her. O seka wa
ipaya under pressure ka mathata ame.
Reneilwe: Thanks for understanding. We will let
you know what we decided.
Pholo: I'm late for work,
Yaone: Sure, drive safely ke a go kopa
Pholo:Yeah, shap

He walked out and closed the door...

At the hospital...

Reneilwe knocked and walked in...

Nei: Hi, I'm looking for Dr Bathusi

Nurse: He took a day off..
Nei: Thank you.

She turned around and walked out dialling

Pholo again, but there was still no answer. She
got in the car and drove off.

Minutes later she parked next to his car and

knocked on the door, Pholo opened the door in
shorts...

Nei: I wanted to see you in private about the

issue ya phakela
Pholo: Come in

She walked in...

Nei: Why didn't you pick my call?

Pholo: My phone is on silence, i wanted to rest
and I don't want calls from the hospital or the
private hospital trying to double my salary to
get me to come back, my phone is always
ringing and it's annoying.

He closed the door and sat down...

Pholo: Have a seat..

She sighed and sat down...

Nei: I know you think your brother is the best

pick and maybe you're right... But sex is an
intimate thing that brings people closer, i
believe in soul ties... Have you thought about
what happens if they fall in love and decide to
raise their children together? If they enjoy each
other so much they spend more time together?
That would break me especially because I'm
pregnant now, i obviously can't compete with
Momo ka mpa, ke nako e Yaone ago boregang
because he has a new-thingy... This also means
Momo will no longer be Momo, she will be the
woman i share my husband with... What if her
attitude towards me changes? I'm scared too..
Giving my husband a pass to cheat openly and
even have a child? I so want to help you but I'm
scared... And jealous of my husband, i married
your brother because I love him so much...

Pholo: And I'm happy for him, I'm happy for you
two... Don't feel bad, what you're saying is true, i
thought about it too, i just thought my brother
would have a conscience and consider my
feelings because a stranger will not only sleep
with my wife but they will get her to divorce
me... I know at some point she is going to leave
me because she won't live like this forever, but i
didn't want to go down without a fight. What
you're saying is true, you have a happy family,
my brother would never willingly cheat on you
so doing this will teach him that it's possible... I
totally understand your fears so forget it about
it. I was stressed out and not thinking straight.
Renei: Thank you for understanding.
Pholo: Does Ya know you're here?
Renei: No, i wanted to talk to you in private
Pholo: Ok, I'll tell him i changed my mind too.
Renei: Thank you.

She stood up then he walked her out...

Renei: You shouldn't be alone like this

Pholo: I'm ok, i need to think. Plus I'll be picking
Momo at lunch.
Renei: Ok, bye
She walked out then he closed the door and
went back to his video call with the counsellor...

Pholo: Hello?
Him: Yeah, I'm still here.
Pholo: It was my brother's wife, she doesn't feel
comfortable with it... So what do i do when
things are like this? It's obviously unfair to
expect Momo to be faithful, ke raya if I'm to be
honest, as much as I don't want to be hurt it's
impossible for me not to be hurt... I feel like she
had unprotected sex with him.
Him: You didn't ask her before giving her the pill?
Pholo: No, it feels much better when i
sometimes think maybe nothing happened, i
mean, they didn't take that long out of sight...
When I was healthy i definitely didn't take that
short period of time to have sex.
Him: Maybe it was a quick snack, I'm very
worried about you being in denial because it
puts your health at risk. If she let you slide in
another man's semen you might catch STDs.
Pholo: I know
Him: So you need to either know his status or
just get prep or whatever you call it, you're the
doctor. I know its painful but you need to know
where you stand my man... I see why you're
avoiding details but you need that part at least.

Pholo sighed heavily and stood up...

Pholo: True, I'll take care of that at lunch time,

kana maybe i should just divorce and let her go
find a better man. It will spare me the pain of
being cheated.
Him: If that's what you want... What do you
really want?
Pholo:What i want is impossible so i just have
to tell her, i know I'm going to be hurt but maybe
I'm just fine alone. I'll keep submitting my
sample for a surrogate and have a baby, it's
very expensive but at least that way I can have a
family as a single father... (smiled thoughtfully)
This is actually a good idea... I've been taking
sperm boosters maybe i can actually get an egg
donated to the fertility clinic, i don't want a
donation from anyone i know. I just want a baby
i can enjoy and... (smiled and bit his lips) This
can actually work... I know a lot of guys whose
baby mamas abandoned kids with them and
they raised their kids. I don't need a woman to
be happy if ke sena nopa especially because
Terry obviously took her..
Him: Ok... Looks like we are getting
somewhere... Keep brainstorming...
Pholo pulled his laptop over and typed
something while chatting with the counselor...

At Momo's office..

Later on during lunch hour Terry parked the car

and stepped out as his eyes scanned the
parking, Pholo wasn't there but he could see
Momo's car so he walked in the building. He
always had a busy schedule anyways, he
wouldn't be here at this time.

Meanwhile Pholo parked the car and noticed

Terry's car, he locked his car and walked in the
building...

Inside Momo's office...

Momo's looked at her watch and smiled then
she stood up and fixed her hair, she looked at
herself on the mirror and fixed her hair so that
as soon as Pholo arrives they just leave. There
was a knock...

Momo: (fixing her hair) Tsena babe...

Terry walked in and stood behind her holding

her waist, Momo's mouth dropped as she
looked at him on the mirror.

Pholo slowly pushed the door, the squeaking of

the door had them jump as he walked in, Terry
let go of her and she stepped back looking at
Pholo...

Pholo: (calmly) I'll wait in the car.

He turned around and walked out, Momo
followed him as her heels click-clacked across
the floor. She caught up to him and held his
hand as they walked out while people in other
offices stared at them curiously.

Pholo: (walked still holding her hand) You're

embarrassing me you know, all these people
are looking at me wondering why you're
cheating on me. Or maybe they already know
I'm not man enough.
Momo: That's not it, i didn't call Terry
Pholo: His name is Therisano.
Momo: I didn't call him.

He stopped by his car but she wouldn't let go of

his hand..
Pholo: Let go of my hand, gaka ngala we will
talk when you're free.

She let go of his hand then he got in the car, she

ran around the car and jumped on the
passenger seat as he started the car then he
drove off. Not sure what to say, she reached
over and put her hand on his while he held the
gear stick...

At Pholo's House...

Pholo parked and stepped out as Momo got

out...

Nomo: I'm sorry about what happened.

Pholo: It's ok..

He unlocked the door and they walked in...

Pholo: I asked the helper to take a day off, i

made lunch for us.
Momo: Thank you, sit down, I'll serve

He sat at the dining table and put down his

phone down, Momo served the food and they
begun eating as she looked at him trying to
figure out what he was thinking...

Pholo: My type of diabetes is incurable and so

chances of me ever wanting sex are very low. I
consider myself living a fairly healthy lifestyle
and I'm not overweight which are things that
mostly improve effects of diabetes but i still
have no interest in sex neither am I able to
maintain an erection. Viagra works for 60% of
men with diabetes, its not like i haven't tried it...
I used viagra a few years back when I found out
i have diabetes, but over the years diabetes has
damaged my vessels and nerves which is why
now viagra doesn't work. I understand that a lot
of traditional concoction do work for other
people because they have ingredients needed
for an erection but still my nerves are damaged
which means my dick will never be hard unless i
do a surgery inserting a pump that i can
manually pump to get my dick hard.. I'll have to
go outside Africa for surgeons who do gender
assignment surgeries, that's a lot of risks. So I
basically don't have a dick....

About having a child, diabetes also affects

testosterone levels and fertility, this means that
i produce weak sperms that cannot make a
baby... I'm surprised that yesterday i managed
ejaculate, at the level I'm at i should be having
difficulty even ejaculating... I guess this
explains why I haven't been able to get you
pregnant throughout all these years. I started
taking boosters and testosterone a couple of
months back so I can at least produce healthy
sperms for us to have a baby, they might be a
little slow based on our situation so i was
thinking of just In vitro but with the way things
are going i don't think it's a good idea because
we are clearly headed for divorce. Bringing a
child into a toxic situation like this is not fair...
It's going to kill me to know that you're with
another man like Terry who my child will get
close to. I know my sperms are too weak to
fertilise your egg though but if there is a chance
i think it's wrong. The reason I never cheated on
you even during the 10 years of my school is
because I don't like drama. I was healthy then, I
could have cheated but i didn't, you did cheat on
me when I was at school... It took me years to
heal, i almost failed because of you. The way i
see things you'll always be forced to cheat by
the situation we are in...

Momo: So what are you saying?

Pholo: I want a divorce, I'm hoping for a
peaceful one too because this might actually be
good for you. You'll live happily and you'll be
able to start a family.
Momo: I don't want anyone but you...
Pholo: But I won't live long if you keep cheating
on me... It hurts and my self esteem is going
down... Better we divorce now before people
know I'm useless in bed. I know you feel guilty
for putting yourself first but your happiness
comes first. I don't want to change my
personality because of you, cause you'll turn me
into a cold hearted person if you keep hurting
me. I will hurt your boyfriend where it hurts the
most and that would change who i am. We all
have a lion inside of us and situations like this
break the cages of the lions inside us and God
knows who I'll attack first if my viciousness is
unleashed.

Momo: I don't feel guilty...i love you, i don't pity

you i want you.... For so many reasons... You're
a forgiving man, you're caring, you're giving and
you're not stingy, you don't have friends that get
too involved in our issues. You work with
beautiful women but you don't cheat... I won't
leave a good man just because of sex, i want us
to do that little experiment and see if it works
so we can have a baby of our own. I know there
is a high chance that it might not work based on
your sperm condition but it's worth a try. If it
doesn't work we will get a sperm donar, maybe
your brother can donate us his so the baby can
look like you...or we can adopt, whatever it
takes to have a child I'm fine with it.
Pholo:. Kana you're young Momo, you won't
survive without sex, be realistic. If we part now
we will be friends, if you let this drag by holding
on knowing you won't be faithful it won't end
well for you. I want us to divorce because i
won't allow you to cheat on me... That one I'm
telling you the truth, it's either we divorce or
you're faithful, you can't have it both ways.
Momo: I know, I'll be faithful to you. I'm sorry
that i haven't been good but I've changed.

He looked at her reluctantly and drunk his apple

cider.

Momo: I know you don't believe me but that's

the truth. I believe one day you'll be fine, your
name is not just a name, its a prophecy.
Pholo: Did you use protection with Terry?
Momo: We didn't have sex, it almost happened
but we didn't..
Pholo: We both know you did... Something
happened behind that car
Momo: He kissed me and took off my panties
then you came
Pholo: o bata go nthaya ore leha ele go kgomisa
ga kgomisa?
Momo: No,
Pholo: I'm asking because our health might be
at risk.
Momo: Nothing happened... I swear, but we
kissed and yes maybe something was going to
happen but it didn't. And after this i won't ever
come near him or any man... I didn't expect
Terry in my office today, i swear, i was waiting
for you. I wouldn't tell him to come knowing
you're coming... Think about it
Pholo: It's ok, i understand. I'll put aside the
divorce issue then we can start preparing you
for In vitro.
Momo: (smiled) Thank you...

He looked at the time...

Pholo: Finish up, you'll be late

She finished eating as he washed his plate.

At Momo's office...

Minutes later he parked the car, they both got

out and hugged, his hands slid down her waist
as he smiled looking in her eyes...

Pholo: I'm proud of you... You're a harder worker

and a go getter... And i know that you're going
to be a wonderful mom. You're going to give me
beautiful babies... Thank you for sacrificing for
this family..

She smiled blushing as he leaned over and

kissed her then he let her go and spanked her
ass.
Momo: I love you more... Bye
Pholo: Bye

He got back in the car and drove off smiling,

she must have really loved him for her to
sacrifice so much for them. He picked his
phone and someone...

Voice: Doc
Pholo: I want that package ya Durban, private
travel though. Just my wife and I
Voice: Perfect, let me send you a quote.

He hung up and drove off...

At Terry's office...
Later on Terry walked in holding a sim pack, he
pulled his chair and sat down inserting it in his
phone then he registered it and added
WhatsApp.

Terry: Ey
Momo: 👀
Terry: It's Terry, sorry for showing up like that. If
i knew he'd show up i would have never came. I
was worried because you blocked me and then i
realised he found out so i wanted to make sure
you're OK.
Momo: I understand, but I need time to sort my
family issues.
Terry: Definitely, he needs time. Take your time,
travel if you have to. Get him a gift or something
Momo: 🙈Please disappear i can't afford to
make mistakes or get caught with this
conversation.
😋 O monate mme, akere waitse?
Terry:
Momo: 😭Terry stop. In 2 weeks I'll be taking
pills preparing for IVF.
Terry: Give me a baby and bring back my pussy.
😉 Delete this please. See you in a couple of
months gake tiisa ngwana mokwata. I love you
Momo: 😳Love?
Terry: 😂 Joke!
Momo: Not funny, bye fixer
Terry: Bye

He put down the phone and leaned back smiling,

he could only imagine thr sweetness when she
returns after going for so long without
penetration...
At Momo's office...

She deleted her conversation with the number

and put her phone aside before working. She
paused looking at her ring and smiled
remembering their wedding day... The
emotional look on Pholo's face, and his vows...
She had to respect this man...

She sighed and carried on working...

At Pholo's House...

In the morning Pholo stood by the toilet and

took out his dick, he noticed a yellowish drip of
discharge then he rolled the tp and rubbed it
before inspecting it, this didn't make sense... He
dropped the tp in the toilet and begun peeing,
but it burned so bad he stopped and frowned
closing his eyes...

Pholo: (whispered) Shit!

He tried to pee again and this time he only

released a drop and stopped at the horrible
burning sensation. He took off his pants and
took a quick shower then he walked in the
bedroom and got dressed, Momo got up while
he was getting dressed...

Momo: Good morning

Pholo: Good morning babe..

He looked at her walking in the bathroom and

carried on getting dressed, he wasn't sure
which hurt the most, the fact that she actually
cheated and looked right in his eyes denying it
or the fact that him explaining the health risks
didn't mean anything to her.

He turned back at the mirror and put on his tie

before grabbing his ironed coat, he hung it over
his shoulder and grabbed his things as Momo
walked out.
Momo: (smiled) You forgot my kiss, I'm just
going in to hand over a few papers then I'm
coming back to pack our things.

He leaned over and kissed her with a straight

face and walked out.

Pholo: Ok, i love you

Momo: I love you more

He got in the car and drove off....

At the hospital....

Minutes later he closed the door and hung his

coat over the chair then he sat down and sighed
resting his head on the table, a pharmacist
walked in with his hands in his lab coat then he
closed the door and placed intramuscular
ceftriaxone on the table.

Pholo: Thanks
Itai: (laughed) So she gave you an STD?
Pholo: And Gonorrhea doesn't show signs until
months later, can you imagine I would have
lived that long with a bacterial infection
spreading through my blood.
Itai: She needs a shot too, and your third party
since you're all having sex together.
Pholo: She says she didn't have sex with him
akere so why should i even mention it.
Itai: But women never really apologise, they
would rather cry than apologise.
Pholo: But now I'm turning into a baby by having
to complain all the damn time. We are
supposed to go see the fertility doctor in
Gaborone so she can begin taking her fertility
drugs for us to start the IVF but i don't think i
want to go through with this. I'm just delaying
the inevitable..
Itai: Or so you ended up deciding to do in
Gaborone?
Pholo: Yeah, it's cheaper in South Africa but
then when i calculated our flight tickets and
hotel stays its way too expensive so we picked
a fertility clinic in Gaborone. Anong motho ke yo
is still having sex with this guy evening bringing
us STDs
Itai: And the possibility of her continuing to
sleep with him while carrying your child is high...
Who knows who he is sleeping with.
Pholo: I'm going to have to be screened for all
the STDs and the scariest thing is that HIV yone
I'll only be sure after 3 months.
Itai: The reason it was easy for her to deny is
probably because most people before they have
unprotected sex they just test for HIV then they
forget that there are other STDs wa bona? Don't
scare yourself..
Pholo: I'll sigh in relief after 3 months..
Itai: Alright, shap akere?
Pholo: Heard your wife isn't well back at home
Itai: Yeah, I'm trying to get her to come to
Botswana. It's difficult living without her
here...don't forget to get screened for all the
STDs. Shap mona
Pholo: Sure

He closed the door then Pholo prepared the

injection and unzipped his pants, he injected the
muscle of his hip and dropped the neddle and
the cotton wool in the red trash bag. He sat
down and dialled the fertility clinic...

At site....

Meanwhile Terry stopped the car and stepped

out with his colleagues, his phone rang then he
picked as he locked the car...

Terry: Hello?
Voice: It's Mercy
Terry: What do you want? Why the fuck are you
calling me? I told you not to ever call me.
Voice: It's about our sexual history
Terry: If you're pregnant it's not mine, i pulled
out and you left Maun when you were on your
period, we broke up like 2 days after you left.
I'm not stupid, you're not pinning that guy's
pregnancy on me. You made me an idiot, i loved

picked as he locked the car...

Terry: Hello?
Voice: It's Mercy
Terry: What do you want? Why the fuck are you
calling me? I told you not to ever call me.
Voice: It's about our sexual history
Terry: If you're pregnant it's not mine, i pulled
out and you left Maun when you were on your
period, we broke up like 2 days after you left.
I'm not stupid, you're not pinning that guy's
pregnancy on me. You made me an idiot, i loved
you and took care of you while you were
cheating on me with a Dj.
Mercy: I'm not pregnant, but you need to go get
tested for STDs or go get treatment for
Gonorrhea. I just got an injection for them, I'll
send you the contact slip so you use it to get
the injection. HIV yone ke negative
Terry: I don't understand why you'd have
unprotected sex when you're cheating, ne omo
tshepile thata? And a DJ for that matter, i am
going to kill you if you ever set foot in Maun.
Mercy: I know that I've hurt you, I've said this
before and I'll say it again...my biggest problem
then was that I was immature, that's what
happens when a woman who drinks dates a guy
who doesn't drink... I went out with friends and
guys would hit on me, girls would leave me and
i hung around with that guy for security. It was
never about love. I no longer drink, losing was a
great lesson, ke lathile bojalwa.
Terry: Don't ever call me.

He hung up and leaned against the car

frustrated then he dialled his friend..
Him: Terro
Terry: Hey man, listen... I have a situation..
Mercy says she caught Gonorrhea.
Him: No, you're not going to be lazy about this,
come to the clinic. And I'm not going to be the
one injecting you because of your phobia, there
is another female nurse here. I'm sure mogo
ene o taa tsenya pelo ya tshipi.
Terry: So you want her to know i have all the
STDs in the world? Skara the monna ntele and
inject me in my office or at your house
Him: No, and I'll lose my job if medication
disappears. Come
Terry: I'd rather die then.
Him: (laughed) And your girlfriend needs a shot
too... And her husband. Its a long damn chain,
(laughed) DJ ele kentile..
Terry: It's not funny..
Him: But on a serious note come get the shot
and the pills, Momo is going to need the
contact slip, she will also get one for the
husband if daeman o jele sengwe.
Terry: He doesn't have sex so i think he is safe
Him: Ok
Terry: I'm coming..
Him: (laughed) I'm not injecting you
Terry: (laughed) The mona wena emisa go
tshega mona.
Him: (laughed) Hurry up

He hung up and sighed then he talked to his

colleagues before driving off...

At Momo's office...
Later on Momo locked her office and cat
walked outside as her hips swung side to side
filling her her formal skirt. Long nails prevented
her from using her tips to type as she typed
with thumb prints....her phone rang..

Momo: Hello
Terry: It's Terry-(she took it off her ear to hang
up and he shouted) Wait! Wait! Babe listen... It's
important..
Momo: What is it?
Terry: My ex called me... And we need to go get
a shot for gonorrhea.
Momo: Terry what are you saying?
Terry: I caught her cheating with a dj and left
her, i didn't know she was having unprotected
sex with him. She called me today, please go
get a shot, and tell Pholo too if you guys did
anything because he of all people cannot afford
to get his immune system challenged like that.
Momo: I cannot do that, i already told him i
didn't have sex with you. He will divorce me
Terry: So you want him to stay like that? He
needs treatment
Momo: You just want him to know you had sex
with me, i can see right through you.
Terry: Pholo is a man, trust me he knows we
slept together, there is no question about it.. He
might be in denial but at the back of his head he
knows, he will appreciate you telling him for his
health benefit.
Momo: I'll think of a way to get him to treat
himself.
Terry: Ok, I'm going to the clinic now. A friend of
mine will inject me, we can go together, we
won't queue.
Momo: Yeah, ibile our flight time is approaching
but I'm not done packing.
Terry: Yeah, drive to Matshwane clinic
Momo: That's where I wanted to go cause these
other clinics i feel they know Pholo.
Terry: Yeah, gape this one is my friend.
Momo: Ok, bye

She hung up and got in her car then she drove

off...

At the hospital....

Meanwhile Pholo drove out of the gate turning

on the music, a nurse waved him down and he
smiled pulling over, the nurse got in the front
seat and closed the door.
Him: Thanks for the ride
Pholo: Sure, where do you stay?
Him: Matlapaneng, but I'm going to drop off this
envelope in Matshwane clinic at a friend of
mine.
Pholo: Ok
Him: Nowadays you don't show up for Sunday
soccer
Pholo: Eish i want to start coming, are you guys
still on
Him: It's a serious thing, it's not just the health
sector now, we have police officers other
professionals. Go busy,
Pholo: Uh, I'm coming this Sunday.

Minutes later he pulled into the parking space in

front of the clinic, he frowned looking at his
wife's car, then he noticed Terry's company van
next to hers. The nurse stepped out and closed
the door.

Nurse: Thanks doc

Pholo: Sure

The nurse walked in through the gate, Pholo

rolled down the window and sighed waiting...

Meanwhile inside the clinic Momo and Terry

stepped out as she tore the slip in to pieces
then she dropped it in the bin.

Terry: The easiest way is to give him the slip

without saying anything, if he gets angry you
just cry. Pholo is too weak, he won't do anything
to you. Why are you acting like an abused wife?
Momo: I don't want to hurt his feelings, maybe
he cheated before so I'll tell him i have these
weird symptoms and ask him what it might be,
he will figure out its gonorrhea and I'll wonder
where it came from but he will also get a shot.
All men cheat, I'm sure he cheated maybe once
since this year begun.
Terry: And if he didn't cheat? Gonorrhea is not
flu, you don't catch it by a sneeze
Momo: I know what I'm doing. Stop trying to
destroy my marriage... (looked at the time) I
need to hurry and go pack, our flight is at 2pm.

They hurried towards the gate as Momo's

handbag strap hung over her shoulder, Terry
stepped aside and let her walk out then he
spanked her ass as she walked out, she
laughed and crabbed his nuts...
Momo: (smiled) Lets ke go misa gor
Terry: Why nne osa ncheke, you can come to
my house anytime.. Even at night..

A car next to them started, Momo's eyes turned

to the car and before she could look away she
realised it was Pholo, she turned back and
stared at him as he rolled up the window and
drove off.

Terry's heart skipped as he looked at her...

Momo: I'm afraid to go home, I have to find

someone to take me home.
Terry: Should i go talk to him?
Momo: No, not you of all people...we should just
never talk! I knew this was a bad idea.

She got in the car and drove to back to work to

pick Maya...

At Pholo's House...

Later that afternoon Pholo put the cushion

under the back of his head and pointed the
remote at the TV as he picked a movie on
netflix and folded his arms watching..

Meanwhile outside Momo parked the car and

took a deep breath trying to relax, Maya's heart
pounded as she looked at the door..

Maya: What if he beats me too thinking I'm the

reason o galegile ka bofebe? I'm still mad you
didn't tell me you sucking Terry, you allowed me
to drool for your side dish
Momo: Please focus on the problem at hand...
Maya: Ok, let's go.

They stepped out of the car and walked

towards the door, Momo swallowed and
knocked softly..

Maya: (whispered) Why are you knocking?

(shrugged her shoulders) It's your house.
Momo: Oh

She slowly opened the door and walked in

quietly while Pholo laid on the couch with his
eyes glued to the TV, Maya quietly walked in
and closed the door gently before they walked
in each of them holding their handbags with
both hands on the front, they stood at the back
of the couch and kept quiet as if they were
waiting for something.

Pholo turned his head and looked at them...

Pholo: Hi Maya
Maya: Hi

He turned back to the TV and continued

watching for about a minute, he could hear
them whispering though he couldn't hear what
they were saying. He muted the TV and turned
his head to them again...

Pholo: What's going on...

Maya: Momo ne are ke mo tise mo
lwapeng..{Momo asked me to bring her home}

At Pholo's House...

Pholo: Why do you have to accompany her?

They looked at one another then he sat up...

Pholo: Gase gore le nne hatshe I'm sure your

heels are burning you.

They sat next to one another as he looked at

her...

Pholo: What's going on?

Maya: She says that-
Pholo: Maya... If you ever get into a serious
relationship or get married and you end up
cheating or getting caught in a compromising
position be kind enough to face that man in
private instead of bringing a friend to look in the
face of a man you just made a fool.

She looked at Momo then she stood up...

Maya: Say no more. Thank you, i have to get

back to work...

She walked out and closed the door, Pholo's

eyes shifted to Momo...

Momo: I just dropped off one of our gardeners

at the clinic. She wasn't well then i ran into Terry.
I'm sorry for everything that you saw.

Pholo stared at her, it wasn't even about the lie...

It's the fact that she had no plans of telling him
about the STD or whatever they were both
doing in a clinic. Could it have been she was
starting her ARVs? It's her knowing his immune
system was already weak and yet keep such
important information...

Pholo: Did you sleep with Therisano?

Momo: No.

He stared right in her eyes and she innocently

stared right back at her...

Pholo: Ok.
Momo: I'm sorry, please forgive me... I got
carried away
Pholo: Ok.

She reached down and took off her heels as he

looked at her quietly, then she stood up and
pulled down her skirt.

Momo: I'll go pack our bags.

Pholo: I think we should postpone our visit to
the fertility clinic. It's not a good time to bring a
child into the picture.
Momo: If you think so...

He remained calmed as she walked by and

closed herself in the bedroom. Once again the
thought of a divorce crossed his mind, but
would he be doing the right thing? Would he
even be happy? And if he ever tried to move on
which woman would not laugh at him about this
issue... At least Momo wasn't telling anyone,
but the pain was too much. He had to leave...
She walked back in the living room in her
shorts..

She sat on his lap facing him as he leaned back

against the chair, she put her arms around him
and leaned over kissing him, he kissed her back
and sighed resting his head on her cleavage
while still holding her.
She rubbed and kissed his head before hugging
him...

Momo: I'm sorry... I promise that was the last

time i talked to him. It won't happen again... I
didn't plan to be with him...

He turned his head and looked at him...

Pholo: If you sleep with him he'll give us STDs

and i can't afford to be sick.
Momo: I know..
Pholo: If you slept with him and found out he
infected you with something would you let me
know so I can get treatment?
Momo: I would never have to go through that
because I'd never have unprotected sex with
anyone but you. Let me cook something for us...

She got off him and walked in the kitchen as he

stared at her then he turned back and sighed
rubbing the ache off his head.

His phone rang then he stared at the call for a

few seconds, as much as he didn't want
anything to do with her or her son not picking
her call seemed disrespectful.

Pholo: Hello?
Mma Terry: Hello son. Its been a while since
you called and checked on me. I just wanted to
tell you that I'm recovering and today I cooked
for the first time in so many years. Can you
come over with your wife... I cooked them with
you in mind, you said your mother used to cook
dumblings and stew right?
Pholo: Yes... I'll come over.
Mma Terry: Ok my boy. Bye

He hung up and sighed, he really didn't feel like

leaving the house let alone leave the couch.

After battling with himself he finally stood up

and walked to the bedroom where he put on a
sweatpants and a Tshirt, he grabbed his car
keys and walked out passing by the kitchen...

Pholo: Don't wait up.

Momo: Where are you going?
Pholo: Mmagwe Terry's house
He got in the car and drove off as Momo's heart
pounded, she picked her phone and dialled
Terry.

Terry: Hello
Momo: Did you talk to your mother about
everything?
Terry: No, why
Momo: Pholo is going to your mother's house.
Terry: He better not try me.
Momo: What? What's going on?
Terry: Shap. Bye

He cut the call...

At Terry's mother's...
Later on he walked in and she smiled standing
up for the first time in years, she smiled widely
and hugged him as he forced a smile through
his aching heart and hugged her.

Her: (smiled) I can walk.... You're blessing in my

life... If it wasn't for you borrowing your little
brother money maybe I'd be dead... Have a seat.
Where is your wife? I really want to meet her

He sat down...

Pholo: I didn't tell her you wanted her to come

too because i just wanted some air.

She brought water and he washed his hands in

a bowl, then she brought his food and sat on
the other couch. He placed it on the table and
sighed..

Her: Are you OK?

Pholo: No
Her: Did you manage to tell your wife about your
little problem?
Pholo: Yes, did you tell Terry about it?
Her: Of course not, why would i discuss
something so sensitive? I know you didn't mean
to tell it just slipped out because you were
overwhelmed.

Pholo: She is cheating... More like freely seeing

this man because they can touch each other in
public places... And she was never like that with
me... She was shy, she respected herself and
she would never touch my privates in public. I
thought she is a reserved person but I'm just
seeing a totally different person.. She had sex
with him, he gave her an STD and she infected
me, she is not telling me which means if i didn't
get symptoms I'd still be carrying that bacteria
and it would be spreading through my body.
(tearfully) She doesn't love me but I am afraid to
leave her...

His lips trembled and he rubbed the tear rolling

down his nose.

Her: You're not happy... Why not just leave even

if you're afraid, what if being alone doesn't hurt
as much as you're hurting now?
Pholo: She is sleeping with Terry

She frowned and covered her mouth in shock..

Her: What?
Pholo: Can you tell him to stay away from my
wife? Please, we are going through a lot and he
is always in the middle of it. I don't know how to
fix my family with him breathing down my wife's
neck.

Terry stormed in and grabbed Pholo by the

collars as the plate of food shuttered on the
floor spilling food, Pholo's heart pounded as
Terry punched him on the face, he put his arm
over his face as his mother stood up...

Her: Terry what are you doing?

Terry: He is trying to kill you...

He turned around and punched him again,

Pholo put his arms over his head but another
punch came from underneath knocking him
back as he fell on the TV stand.

At Terry's mother's...

His mother grabbed his Tshirt and pulled him

back, Pholo rubbed his bloody nose and picked
his keys on the table while they were talking...

Mother: (Angrily) You sleep with this man's wife

and attack him? Why would you do that...

Pholo walked out of the house and got in the

car, the mother heard the car starting and
hurried to the door but his car was out the gate.
She turned back and tearfully looked at her son,
she shook her head and put the corner of her
doek over her eyes crying...

Terry: He said that if anyone sleeps with his

wife he'd kill the mother first.
Her: I called him over because i didn't
understand why he was distant, until you
apologise to him and leave his wife alone i don't
want you in this house. How can you sleep with
his wife when he even borrowed you money?
What kind of cruelty is that?
Terry: I didn't know you called him over
Her: And sleeping with his wife? If he reports
you I'm going to be his witness, leave my house.
You've turned yourself into a wild animal...

He sighed and walked out....

At Itai's House...

Pholo parked the car and knocked on the door,

the maid opened the door then he walked in..

Her: Hi, he is still at work.

Pholo: I know..

He walked to the bathroom wiping his nose with

blood soaked tissue.
Her: Are you OK?
Pholo: Yes

He closed the bathroom door and bent over

washing his face on the sink then he took off
his blood stained Tshirt and noticed his pants
were stained too...

He stuck his head out...

Pholo: Kopa Tshirt le borokgwe

She hurried over with folded clothes..

Her: I can put those in the washing machine.

Pholo: Thank you
He handed her his and closed the door. After
cleaning himself up he put on Itai's clothes as
his phone rang. He picked the call heading to
the bedroom and sat on the carpet before
laying on his back besides the bed..

Pholo: Hello?
Itai: My helper tells me you're bleeding, what
happened?
Pholo: I don't know what to say... This is
embarrassing. Nna ke tswa go thabisiwa
dithong ke motho..
Itai: Who?
Pholo: Terry attacked me
Itai: Ok, let me call your little brother
Pholo: No, don't do that. You know he will
overreact and ruin his life over nothing. I'm fine
Itai: I'll be knocking off in a few minutes, is there
anything i should bring? Are you injured?
Pholo: I have painkillers in my first aid box, bring
plasters.
Itai: Ok, sharp.

He hung up and clicked on his emails then he

typed the acceptance letter and sent it back. He
dialled the private hospital management...

Voice: Dr Bathusi, its so good to hear from you.

Pholo: Hi, i sent a response via the email.
Voice: I hope it's good news
Pholo: I can't wait to be back.
Voice: Yes! The best doctor in town is back.
Your patients were heartbroken. Let me talk to
the rest of the team
Pholo: Thank you...

He hung up and sighed putting his arm over his

head while still laying on his back.

At Pholo's House...

Meanwhile Terry parked the car and stepped

out, he took a deep breath and knocked on the
door then he stepped back still trying to find the
right words for Pholo. The door opened and it
was Momo in her shorts and vest..

Momo: What are you doing here? Pholo will be

back anytime now, after what happened earlier
do you think it's a good idea to come here? Tota
Tery o akanya jang?
Terry: I'm here to see Pholo, we had a fight..
Momo: Pholo is not violent, I know for a fact
he'd never engage in violent behaviour. What
happened?
Terry: I have to take you back for you to
understand my side of the story, which doesn't
change the fact that I'm wrong anyways... When
we were at Yaone's house warming party, the
guys were just talking about cheating and stuff...
Pholo ended up saying if a anyone slept with his
wife he would first kill their mother.. So when
you told me he was going to my mother's house
in my mind I'm thinking he saw me with his wife
so he is going for my mother, i was way too
angry to even ask anything... I just attacked
him... It turns out my mother called him and he
wasn't there for any of that. Now after seeing he
wasn't even fighting i think he was just saying it
to appear like a tough guy... I thought he is
home so I can apologise..
Momo: Now he is going to know that me and
you talked because i told you his whereabouts
Terry: We can just say i was visiting my mother
and saw his car by chance... Where is he?
Momo: I don't know... Was he hurt or you just
pushed him
Terry: I think i punched him once... Or twice... Or
maybe three times... I don't know, I'm sorry.

Momo tearfully looked at him not sure how to

respond...

Momo: I don't think this is going to work out...

Maybe i don't know how to cheat... Or you're the
wrong person to cheat with because you can't
control yourself. Whatever it is i don't want to
do this anymore..

His face dropped as he stepped in trying to hold

her hand, but she sadly put it behind her. He
grabbed her hand and walked in..

Terry : Please babe I'm sorry... I'll stay away

from him,
Momo: No, you've done enough damage Terry
Terry: We just have to let time pass... Don't do
these to me... Why are you even holding on to
this marriage? You're not happy and you
deserve better than this.. You're just afraid to be
called a divorcee
Momo: Terry leave...

He cupped her face and kissed her, she held his

arms kissing him back... His lips had her close
her eyes as she drew in breath, but knowing
Pholo might be back anytime raised her heart
beat.
Momo: (whispered in his mouth) Tttt-erry wait...

He turned her around and slid his hand inside

her shorts as she opened the door slightly and
looked at the gate. Terry hooked his thumb on
the lastic of his pants and pushed them down
as his black hard meat dropped, he stepped
over aiming through the leg of her shorts,
pushed her panties aside and...

***explicit content removed***

He stepped back and popped out then he

hooked his hooked his thumb again and pulled
up his pants while she popped her panties and
crossed her legs as his kids wet her panties....
He cupped her face and kissed her both of
them panting...

Terry: I have to go... Oh and he told my mother

we gave him std so you have to tell him.

He kissed her one last time and drove off, she

closed the door and turned around regrettably
as she put her hands over her face. She walked
to the bathroom and showered then she sat on
the bed dialling his number...

Pholo: Hello?
Momo: Hi, when will you be home?
Pholo: I'll spend a night at Itai's house. I just
need air.
Momo: Ok, bye
She hung up and sighed, she went to the sitting
room and tried to watch a movie... But it was
too boring. She got dressed and drove off...

At Itai's House...

Meanwhile Itai and Pholo sat on the carpet each

holding a joystick as they played Xbox with a
bowl of snacks between them...

For a moment Pholo mentally left his reality and

smiled as he shot and killed his target, Itai
followed behind covering for him...

Pholo: Are you ready?

Itai: Yeah, let's go...
They entered the danger zone firing at the
enemy, this was a level they never won but for
some reason this time they were on fire and
before they knew it they were done. They leaned
back and smiled celebrating, then there was a
knock...

Itai stood up and opened the door...

Momo: Hi...
Itai: Hi...

Pholo stopped smiling and put down the

joystick as Momo walked in, he stood up and
looked at her, she leaned over and hugged him,
he reluctantly put his arms around her before
she leaned back and kissed him..
Itai pointed out with his thumb behind her
signalling him to get rid of her, still hugging her
Pholo signalled him to leave.

Itai walked outside and closed the door as

Momo sighed looking at him.

Momo: There is something i need to tell... I

wasn't exactly honest with you... (frowned
looking at the plaster) What happened to your
nose?
Pholo: It's just a scratch.. What do you want to
tell me?
Momo: Terry rubbed himself on me that night, i
didn't think nothing of it but his ex told him she
has an STD and he told me so i had to go with
him to get the injection. You need the injection
too... It's gonorrhea.. I'm telling you this
because i can't lying to you if i want this
marriage to work...
Pholo: Please be honest if you want my
forgiveness, rubbing doesn't make sense and
you know it... It didn't happen like that..
Momo: Ok, we had sex...

He swallowed looking in her eyes and breathed

out heavily...

Momo: It happened once

Pholo: HIV status?
Momo: We got tested...
Pholo: So it was planned?
Momo: Kind of... It was before i knew your
situation... I thought you were cheating on me
too.
Pholo: Thanks for being honest, let's sit down...

They sat down, he took a deep breath and

sighed before folding his arms, she rubbed her
hands together looking down.

Pholo: I don't know what to say... What does all

these mean? Gase gore re divorce? I can't give
you what he is giving you, and he is making me
uncomfortable.
Momo: I've stopped talking to him
Pholo: You know what hurts me the most?
We've been down this road before.... You what
happened with Dan right?

She looked down...

Pholo: You cheated with my friend, waitse akere
gore he almost ruined our wedding? I never
wanted to have a friend after that, years after i
start being friendly with Terry you cheat on me
with him. He also attacked me... How many
times are you going to hurt me? How much
more pain do i have to endure for you to
actually see that i love you.. I am willing to let
you go in peace, but still wa gana you don't
want us to divorce but deep down in your heart
you know you're going to hurt me. Nna kana ga
nkake ka go betsa... I wasn't raised like that...
So I'm just wondering why osa bate divorce
because you don't love me, or maybe you do but
i can't satisfy you which is still OK... When you
said I do you didn't know I'd be useless in bed
years later. You thought by now i would have
given you children but I've failed to produce
sperms strong enough to get you pregnant even
before losing my erections. You're going to kill
me with a heart attack...

She got up and sat on his lap facing him...

Momo: It won't happen again... Please forgive

me.. (tearfully) i don't want to lose you... You're
everything I want in a man. Let's go home, don't
leave me if you love me...
Pholo: I can forgive you under one condition
Momo: Which is?
Pholo: I want my second job back, o over
working helps me forget all my problems...
What I'm going through now is very painful. Just
because I'm not crying doesn't mean I'm not
hurting, I'm in so much pain ke simolola go
akanya bo suicide but helping my patients helps
me forget about my problems. That's how I've
been surviving all these years, but I'll make time
for you.
Momo: Ok.. Let's go home..

She stood up and pulled him, he sighed and

stood up.

Pholo: Let go get my things.

Momo: I'll wait in the car.

She walked out, Itai got up from the rock he

was sitting on and looked at her waiting then he
walked in the living room as pholo picked his
phone.

Itai: What's up?

Pholo: We talked, she told me the truth and we
are going to work it out one last time.

Itai's heart shuttered looking at him...

Itai: You said you're going to divorce her, how

can she change your mind just like that? What
did she say?
Pholo: I've been with for years, of course we are
going to fight every now and then... She is
human too... If i wasn't failing to do my
responsibility she wouldn't be doing this. Terry
took advantage of our situation... I think she
means it this time, she confessed and told me
everything...

Itai just stared at him..

Pholo: Shap...
He turned around and walked out. He
approached Momo's car and leaned in smiling..

Pholo: Drive home, I'm going to turn somewhere

and see if I can pull off a little something for
you..

She smiled, he leaned inside and kissed her

then she drove off. He got in the car and drove
off...

At Pholo's House...

Later on Momo walked in the bedroom and laid

down, with such a powerful ogasm earlier sleep
just swept her away...
A little later she woke up to his hand on her
forehead, she sat up and he smiled showing her
two flight tickets...she looked at the flight ticket
and smiled looking at him.

Pholo: I'm sorry for not paying attention to you...

I feel like I'm responsible for all these so I'm
changing things around here. I'm doing my part
and letting you do yous. This time I'm taking
this second job for two reasons... To keep
myself sane and to make more money for you
so you can go on trips like this whenever you
want...you'll keep the bank card for my other job.
Its yours and you don't have to account for
anything. We are both going to benefit, you get
the salary and i keep my mind busy so I don't
think about what has happening.
He pressed his bank card on her forehead..

Pholo: Did you know that ever since i started

working for the private hospital we've never
spent any of my salary?
Momo: (smiled) Really? I thought..
Pholo: (smiled) We've been spending my other
salary... So this is for you to spend where we
are going. I'll just carry your shopping bags for
you..

She smiled and hugged him as he picked her up

and kissed her. She slid down and jumped up
and down before pulling out her luggage bag as
he took out his phone took a video of her..

Momo: This trip needs me to go shopping in

Gabs first...
She turned around and walked towards the
camera screaming and jumped on him as he
laughed excitedly, this wasn't the reaction he
expected...

Momo: (singing) I'm going to Bahamas... I'm

going to Bahamas... (kissed him a thousand
times) I love you, i love you, i love you.

He laughed carrying her as she leaned over and

French kissed him...

SIX MONTHS LATER...

At the mall...

Itai walked out of the shop carrying his baby

while his wife carried a shopping bag walking
besides him. He noticed Yaone carrying his
daughter with his heavily pregnant wife walking
besides him.

Itai: (lowered his voice) That's Paul's brother...

Shona: Your friend with the marital issues?
Itai: (laughed) He says he is not my friend, but
my house is the first place he comes to when
he is hurt.
Shona: (laughed) He told you that?
Itai: Yeah, he likes emphasising that he will
never have a friend... Apparently his wife
cheated on him with his best friend when he
was at school, he hardly talks about it but I
don't think he recovered from that. He likes me
and he trusts me with his issues but he won't
admit that he is my friend.
Shona: His brother looks like him... Is that his
wife?
Itai: Yeah
Shona: She doesn't look friendly..
Itai: (laughed) She is a sweet lady she is just
ugly.
Shona: (laughed and elbowed him) That's rude..

Meanwhile Yaone and Renei noticed them too...

Renei: Is that Pholo's friend?
Yaone: (laughed) Yeah, but don't call him his
friend in his presence. He is afraid to have a
friend or maybe he doesn't know that he has a
friend in Itai.
Renei: Is that his wife?
Yaone: Mh
Renei: She looks older than him
Yaone: She is actually way younger. Maybe the
dressing is the problem.
Renei: (lowered her voice) Gongwe o tswa
kgaolong.

He laughed as him and Itai shoulder bumped

greeting one another and introduced their
spouses like they weren't just talking about
them..
Itai: This is Yaone, Paul's brother... Yay this is
my wife Shona
Yaone: Hi, nice to finally meet you... He's been
talking about bringing you here since last year..
This is my wife Renei

The ladies smiled and leaned over bumping

shoulders as the guys talked...

Itai: Can we talk?

Yaone: Sure

They stood aside as Itai took a deep breath

reluctantly...

Itai: I'm saying this at the risk of sounding like a

bad friend but you need to check on your
brother, nna kana he checks on me when he is
overwhelmed. When last did you talk to him?
Yaone: I'm glad that you said something
because I've been feeling like he avoids me, he
got his second job so part of me thought he is
just busy I'm overthinking..
Itai: That's the impression he gives me too but i
don't know, just check on him. Um... I know you
don't know this but i feel bad keeping it a secret
Yaone: What?
Itai: Terry slept with Momo at your house
warming party... And then a day after Terry
attacked Paul. He didn't want me to tell you
cause he didn't want you to overreact but that's
part of the reason I'm worried..
Yaone: But he has been posting her on
Facebook, they travel all over whenever he finds
time... They seemed happy. Are you sure she
really cheated?
Itai: I don't think he is happy but If you say so....

Meanwhile Shona looked at Renei's makeup...

Shona: I love your makeup

Renei: I can teach you then you go buy yourself
and do your face.
Shona: When should I come?
Renei: Tomorrow is a weekend so I'm free
Shona: Let me get your number..

They exchanged numbers...

At the private hospital...

Pholo closed his patient's eyes and pulled the
sheet over her then he stepped back as the
nurse pulled the curtains.

Pholo: contact the next of Kin.

Nurse: Yes doc

He walked out and headed to his office, he

closed the door and sat down putting his
stethoscope down then he sighed and leaned
back. If she didn't have a child he wouldn't be as
worried, that cancer was advanced and there
was no winning, but this child was alone now...
She even mentioned how she had no family
support. He sighed again... It didn't matter how
many patients he'd seen die, he just never got
used to this... Especially when you've been with
your patients for years and have a relationship
with them. He looked at his and Momo's framed
picture then he smiled and grabbed the frame
looking at Momo's face... He took out his phone
and dialled her...

Momo: Hi babe.. I'm on my way home now.

Pholo: Ok, I'll be home around 8pm. Ke dirile
overtime e ntsi this month so you'll notice a
change on the card
Momo: (smiled) I love you..
Pholo: I love you too, I'll be home ka past 8..I
just lost a patient who has been fighting cancer
for way too long... Sometimes i feel like i
specialise in the worst field ever... I see people
fight and lose battles they shouldn't... The worst
is when a single parent dies... Knowing that
they're living children is sad... I shouldn't have
been an oncologist. It's depressing... As much
as its one of the highest paying field sometimes
i feel like it's not worth it when you care about
your patients.
Momo: I'm sorry, i know it hurts you to lose a
patient... I can just imagine ele nna.... So I'll try
to make tonight a little interesting
Pholo: (smiled) Now I'm curious, give me a hint
Momo: I can't... See you tonight.
Pholo: (smiled) Bye

He hung up still smiling and licked his lip

blushing..

At the car dealership...

Later on Terry parked the car and stepped out,

he walked in the reception and leaned over the
counter...
Terry: Hi, its Therisano. I got a call saying there
is a package for me... There must be some kind
of mistake though. I haven't-

Voice: Terry?

He turned around and looked at the unfamiliar

face...

Terry: Yeah, um... I was just trying to explain to

this lady that-
Him: Come this side... Someone got you a little
something from us.
Terry: Who?
Him: Come...

They walked in the large room where a car was

covered with a white cloth... The manager
handed him the key as the photographer at the
corner took a picture...

Manager: You can pull the cover...

Terry: You must be mistaken...
Manager: (handed him the registration papers)
Are these not your names?
Terry: (reading) They're...but...

He reluctantly walked towards the covered car

and pulled the cloth, his heart almost stopped
as he looked at a white Mercedes with a ribbon
on the bonnet, someone covered his eyes from
behind... The perfume sold her out and he
smiled holding her hands and took them off as
he turned around and looked at her in
disbelief...more like shock...
Terry: Babe what's this?

Momo blushed smiling in her formal wear and

heels...

Momo: Happy birthday babe... (to them) thank

you.

The manager and the photographer walked out,

Terry looked at the car again and looked back at
her then he put his hand over his mouth with a
blanket face and even rubbed the ring of his
lips...

Terry: Babe what the hell?

She smiled again, his knees got weak and
slowly went down squatting and eventually put
his knee on the floor, she walked over and he
hugged her still on his knees, he slowly stood
up and pulled up her chin French kissing her. He
picked her up and swung her as she smiled and
leaned over kissing him, he put her down and
unlocked it then he got in and looked at the
interior.... The leather seats... Oh man. He rolled
down the window and looked at her... The
corner of his lips lifted as he smiled and
stepped out, he picked her up and put her on
the bonnet standing between her legs and tilted
his head kissing her, he pulled her closer as her
skirt pushed back then he unzipped his pants..

Momo: (looked at the door) Terry

Terry: (whispered) They're gone...
He kissed her as they both breathed heavily, he
reached inside his boxer briefs to pull it out and
noticed a camera at the corner of the room. He
zipped his pants and kissed her stepping back
as she throbbed..

Momo: What?
Terry: Let's get out of here... When is he
knocking off?
Momo: 7.
Terry: Good, I'll put you on his doorstep at 6.

He opened the door for her, she got in then he

honked, they opened the door for him then he
drove out as they waved at him....

He took out his phone and dialled their usual

guesthouse outside Maun then he rolled up his
tinted windows up and turned the air con on...

At the hotel...

Momo stepped out of the shower and dropped

the towel on the bed while Terry laid dead
asleep on the bed hugging a pillow over his
head... She admired his chest and little belly
button, this exactly how Paul looked back when
he was in med school, she picked her phone
and took a picture of him. She put her phone
down and put on her shoes then she picked her
it and carefully opened the door, she stepped
out and closed before walking away...

Meanwhile the door woke him, he sat up and

looked at the table for her phone but she was
gone. He jumped off the bed as his dick
dangled then she put on his shorts and shoved
it inside before grabbing the door and sprinting
behind her barefooted...

Terry: Hey...
Momo: I didn't want to wake you...

He tried to hold her hand but she lifted her it

touching her hair looking around...

Momo: You can't touch me outdoors...

He looked around too, but there was no one
outside, he rubbed his head not sure what to
say...

Terry: Can you come back inside so we talk?

Momo: (looked at the time) About what?

He looked worried and it was weird having a

conversation with a half naked man. She looked
around and sighed before walking back as he
followed her.

She leaned against the table and folded her

arms then he closed the door and sat on the
bed looking at her...
Terry: Nowadays we never talk... It's just sex
then you go...and you always wake up while I'm
sleeping then you go (looked at time) We have
time today, why are you leaving so early? I
thought we will rest then i can order us food.
Momo: I have a surprise for Pholo, there are a
few things i forgot which I must sort out...
Terry: What is it?
Momo: It's between me and him..
Terry: Can you sit down? Please...

She sat on the edge of the bed, he moved closer

and kissed her while his hand went down her
foot to unhook the strap of her heel..

Momo: (kissing) Terry, i have to go...

Her phone rang then she signalled him to keep
quiet...

Momo: Hello
Voice: The lab brought your results, your
gynaecology appointment is on Tuesday.
Momo: What do the results say?
Voice: I don't know, the doctor will tell you on
Tuesday.
Momo: Thank you.

She hung up as Terry looked at her

suspiciously...

Terry: What's going on?

Momo: Nothing, it's my colleague. She was
asking about the payroll.
Terry: Your volume is too high... If i didn't hear
that person I'd believe you. You've turned into a
good liar, gake akanya gore you used to be
panic jang i get scared seeing how you just
easily lied to me.
Momo: (sighed) It's none of your business Terry,
we are sex partners not husband and wife.
Terry: So you're going to give him my child?
Cause it sounds like you're going to see a
gynaecologist
Momo: I am not pregnant with your, ok? Pholo
is very much capable of cumming, and just
because I'm having sex with you doesn't mean
I'm not having sex with him.
Terry: You haven't had your period the last 2
months, that's my baby..
Momo: This is just shocking, even if i was
pregnant with your child, what makes you think
it would be yours? Terry kana I'm a married
woman and i love Pholo. You're being
ungrateful right now... I just bought you a car
Terry: Thank you for the car.. And I really hope
the deduction won't get Pholo suspicious bu-
Momo: It didn't come from our family account,
don't worry about it.. Can i go now?
Terry: How long are we going to do this? I can't
keep doing this, i want all of you.
Momo: I am married Terry... I got you a car
because you keep complaining about not
gaining anything from this relationship and
being used..
Terry: I certainly didn't mean you should turn me
into a ben10 that gets cars and money for sex,
I'm not a prostitute, i can take care of myself,
but if this car is you buying my silence i don't
know about that, i also want a child... I can't live
under Pholo's shadow forever... I love you... I
need something stable... I need a family... I
want children..
Momo: So what do you want me to do Terry? I
can't leave my husband... And I'm definitely not
pregnant with your child. We obviously can't be
more than sex partners... There is more to a
relationship than sex.. Pholo and i share more
than sex, i love my husband, please don't
mistaken our stolen moments for anything
serious.
Terry: Then why are you cheating on him?
Momo: (stood) I am not doing this with you... If
you want a family get yourself a girlfriend but
let me know first so I can find your replacement
because i am not about to have sex with more
than one person.
Terry: So I'm not allowed to have a girlfriend, but
you have a husband, and you're harvesting my
sperms making him babies?
Momo: (Lifted her eyebrows staring at him) I'm
not pregnant with your child... And yes, you
can't have a girlfriend because the last time you
did i got an STD. If i find out you're cheating on
me it's the end of our arrangement. Trust me
there are so many men that would kill to be in
your position right now.. Getting free sex and
birthday gifts every now and then? I appreciate
the gifts you buy me but I don't even need...
Your little thebes can't even be the quarter of
what Pholo gives me combined with what i
make monthly.... So yes you cannot have a
girlfriend i am your girlfriend, i just won't make it
public. If you are not happy with the
arrangement you're free to leave, you'll not
make me a bad person for this... Nor will you
disrespect my husband like the last time you
did. If you try that i will destroy you.. Trust me.

She leaned back and sighed calming down as

he sighed with a long face..
Terry: Ok, I'll stay in my lane
Momo: Thank you..

She leaned over and kissed him, he slowly

stood up and held her kissing back, but she
stepped back and walked away licking her lips.

Terry slowly sat down and sighed then he

walked in the bathroom and showered before
leaving...

At the hospital...

Later on Pholo smiled as he removed his gloves

looking at his patient...
Pholo: You're doing good... This is good... I'm
going to set your appointment for 3 months
because there is nothing wrong with you.

The patient smiled and pulled up his pants..

Him: Thanks Doc, by the way congratulations

on your car, and happy birthday.. I wish i was
there, it wasn't easy keeping quiet last week
when I came here.
Pholo: (stopped smiling) What are you talking
about?
Him: (smiled) Your surprise... The one your wife
organised earlier... For your birthday. We've
been working on your Mercedes the whole
week... She doesn't know me but i recognised
her from your pictures.
Pholo: She bought me a car?
Him: You didn't get it? Today is your birthday
though right? I swear she said you'd get it at
3pm... I left before 3 because i had to take care
of other things but i heard you you two got it.
My colleague says she was with her man
earlier..
Pholo: Today is not my birthday,
Him: (heart skipped as he whispered) Heh! Ok.
Um.. never mind
Pholo: No, please tell me what's going on...
Him: please don't tel her i told you, don't tell my
boss too, I'll lose my job.
Pholo: Call and confirm if she bought a car
Him: She definitely bought a car, i personally
prepared the car and even put a ribbon.
Pholo: Oh she said she has a surprise for me. It
makes sense now
Him: But whoever got it took it at 3pm... And we
took a picture of a happy customer. We always
do. Or maybe it's your brother helping her with
the surprise
Pholo: Nah, my brother doesn't like her that
much. I think i know who it is but i doubt she'd
do actually do that to me or with my money. I
want to see it myself... At least show me your
copy of a receipt.
Him: I'll check out the security cameras
Pholo: (took off his gown) Let's go...
Him: (shocked) You mean now?
Pholo: Yes now,

He washed his hands and wiped himself as they

walked out.

At the car dealership...

Minutes later they each stepped out of the car,
as much as his heart pounded part of him knew
she said she had a surprise for him... But then
something didn't seem right. This time he
wasn't taking this shit laying down though...

Him: Thank God the manager is not here, he'd

wonder why I'm showing you our security
footage... (pointed) This way... Please don't put
my job at risk...
Pholo: I won't tell anyone, you and i know each
other..
Him: Eish...

They walked in the office then he pressed the

computer as Pholo's heart pounded, the patient
looked at him and switched off the monitor...
Pholo: What?

Pholo stepped over and switched it on, his heart

skipped as he watched Momo hugging Terry on
his knees, he picked her up and put her on the
bonnet and kissed her more, he switched off
the monitor to avoid seeing them have sex then
he took a deep breath and put a fist over his
mouth still in shock....

At Pholo's House...

Later on Momo set up the dining table, Pholo

walked in then she smiled as he leaned over
kissing her..

Pholo: Hi
Momo: Hey babe... Go change your clothes so
we can eat.
Pholo: Ok...

He walked to the bedroom as she looked at him

guilt stricken, cheating on a faithful
hardworking man didn't really feel that good... It
was better when she thought he was cheating...

He walked back and sat down then she served

him with his food, they sat down then she
picked her fork to eat...

Pholo: Let's pray first..

She paused looking at him, it was odd... They

hardly prayed... She put her hands together and
bowed her hand but he put his hands on table
opening his hands for her, she put her hands on
his looking in his eyes... She wasn't sure what
this look was... But it was different... He was
looking right in her eyes like he was trying to
read her mind...

He closed his eyes and she closed her eyes...

Pholo: Father thank you for the meal, bless the

hands that prepared them. Thank you for the
peace and harmony, above all..Thank for being
my eyes where I cannot see, you never fail me...
You've said that everything done in secret will
come out and you've proven that over and over
again. Forgive me for not giving you enough
praise, i may have been angry at you for not
giving me the ability to please my wife or have
children of my own but you still show me some
love because you expose every evil against me.

She opened her eyes and looked at him while

his were closed as he prayed holding her hands.

Pholo: In Jesus name i pray, Amen.

Momo: Amen.

He let go of her hands and begun eating as she

looked at him...
Momo: What's going on?
Pholo: With what?
Momo: Your prayer.... I feel like there is
something you're not telling me
Pholo: (chuckled in disbelief) You feel like there
is something I'm not telling you? Are you
serious?
Momo: Babe what's going on?
Pholo: Nothing. Is there something going on?
Momo: With what?
Pholo: Is there anything you're keeping from me?
Momo: No
Pholo: Good. Thanks for the food... Its delicious,
it's even funny that you prepared this in just an
hour... You're a master of your game.
She stared at him not sure what how to respond,
her appetite slipped away as she put the fork
down and drunk her juice which didn't taste any
better, she grabbed her phone and clicked on
Terry's profile to see if he had posted anything,
but there was nothing. She checked the car
dealership and they hadn't posted Terry either.

Pholo: Chatting on your phone while we're

eating is kind of rude.

She put her phone down and ran her fork

around the plate while Pholo finished his food
and drink.

Pholo: You said you have a surprise for me?

She slowly reached under the table and put a

gift box on the table, Pholo tore the wrapped
gift and smiled in disbelief looking at a watch
and a pair of socks, he scoffed and shook his
head..

Pholo: This is just amazing... It's actually

shocking,

He put them back in the box and slowly slid

them back to her.

Pholo: Thank you, but I don't want them...

He stood up and washed his plate in the sink

then he walked in the bedroom. She covered her
food and walked in the bedroom, he connected
his phone to the speaker and put it down as it
played Sam Smith's Too good at goodbyes. He
got in the shower and closed the door.

Momo sat down and pressed her phone.

Momo: Did you talk to Pholo?

Terry: No, you said i should never talk to him.
What's going on?
Momo: Nothing, bye

She deleted her messages and put her phone

down. Minutes later he came out and applied
lotion while they both sat on the bed, but none
said anything. He put on his shorts and smiled
looking at her then he calmly stretched his hand
towards her while the music played...

Pholo: Come here... Let's dance...

She stood up then he held her hand and put his
other arm around her before kissing her on the
forehead as the song started again on repeat.
He leaned over putting his chin on her neck as
he sang along dancing with her slowly. She
smiled until she observed the lyrics of the
song...

🎶 You must think that I'm stupid

You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So, I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these
tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad, but it's
true🎶
He stopped dancing and held her closer for a
moment then he took a deep breath and
stepped back looking at her.

Pholo: I will always love you..

He let go of her and disconnected his phone
before getting in bed as she sat on the edge
looking at him...

Momo: What's going on?

Pholo: With?
Momo: I don't know... Why did you reject the gift
i gave you?
Pholo: Because its an insult to what you're
capable of.. Goodnight, I've had a bad day today
so i need to get some sleep. Switch off the
lights when you're done.
Momo: We have an appointment at the
gynaecologist tomorrow at 10am.
Pholo: Why?
Momo: I missed 2 months of my period
Pholo: Tomorrow I'll be very busy, but I'm sure
there is someone you can go with who is the
right person to contact.
Momo: What do you mean?
Pholo: You'll let me know what they said my
love, tomorrow will be very busy. Goodnight.

She sat there staring at him then she sighed

and switched off the lights and joined him in
bed, he turned around and faced the other way
and dozed off while she thoughtfully stared in
the dark.

At Maya's House...

Early in the morning Maya switched off the

alarm and walked in the bathroom to brush her
teeth, her phone rang then she hurried back and
picked...
Maya: Hello?
Momo: Did you tell anyone about Terry?
Maya: (frowned) What are you talking about?
Momo: Did you talk to Pholo about Terry? I
know you had a problem with me getting him a
car .
Maya: What kind of a friend do you think I am?
Momo: Pholo is acting somehow and i think he
knows. Did you gossip with anyone? I know
you'd never mean any harm but-
Maya: Momo gake bate, stop accusing me of
something I'd never do. No matter how excited i
am I'd never tell anyone your business. I don't
even have friends... Ask Pholo who told him and
stop accusing me. Gake bate
Momo: Ok, bye
Maya: My contract still hasn't been renewed, it
ended yesterday. Do you think you can talk to
the boss for me? I know he likes you and
respects you. Titus kana it's not like he
supports his daughter.
Momo: Are you sure you didn't talk to anyone
about Pholo ne mma?

Maya angrily looked at her phone screen and

angrily tapped hanging up.

Maya: Mxm!

She put her phone down and got ready for work,
later on she prepared her daughter for school
and left...

At Pholo's House...
Meanwhile Momo walked in the bedroom in her
formal wear smelling good and stood by the
bed while Pholo was still in bed.

Momo: Babe I'm going to work..

With his head still under covers Pholo stuck out

his hand...

Pholo: Mpha ATM card yam, i want to go buy

something today.

She unzipped her handbag and put it on his

hand, he put his hand back under the duvet.

Pholo: Have a good day..

Momo: What time is your shift starting?
Pholo: I asked someone to cover me, i have a
lot to do today.
Momo: Like what?
Pholo: Just some personal stuff. Tsamaya wa
leita.. I love you babe
Momo: I love you too.

She turned around and walked out, it wasn't

even guilt anymore... It was fear building up.
She got in the car and sat in there for a while
then she sighed and drove off...

At Zambo & Attorney's..

Meanwhile Yaone stepped out of the car

dialling his big brother...
Pholo: Hello?
Yaone: I've been trying to call you since
yesterday, are you avoiding me?
Pholo: No, actually I'm on my way to see you.
Are you in the office?
Yaone: Yeah, go dirwa appointment mr gake
welwe hela nkare ke rekisa madila.
Pholo: (laughed) Fok monna, it's an emergency...
Are you going to court?
Yaone: At 10
Pholo: I won't be long. Cuppuccino or latte
macchiato?
Yaone: (smiled) Latte
Pholo: (smiled) 10 minutes....

He hung up and walked in...

At the gynaecologist...

Later on during breakfast Momo slowly sat

down as the doctor held her card...

Momo: Good morning..

Dr: Good morning... I thought you'll come with
your husband
Momo: Oh he had an emergency, he is a doctor
too.
Dr: Oh then i totally understand. So how long
have you been experiencing irregular
menstruation?
Momo: Ever since i was a teenager..
Dr: How long have you been trying to get
pregnant?
Momo: For a couple of years, my husband and I
have never really used protection when he was
still in school and even after getting married...
But over time we assumed it was him... He has
diabetes so... But... Um i now suspect i might be
the problem
Dr: Why?
Momo: (reluctantly) Because I've been with this
other guy... And I'm not getting pregnant. I
missed 2 months and thought I'm finally
pregnant but i tested negative...
Dr: (sighed) I see... The reason it has been so
hard to get pregnant is because you have poor
eggs. I tested your blood for anti-mullerian
hormone and its very very low... Which is one of
the most common causes of infertility.

Momo's heart skipped as she looked at him...

Momo: So how do we increase this mullan
hormone? I can get pills and increase them so I
can be pregnant right?
Dr: There are no medications that you can take
to increase this number. Increasing your AMH
level does not increase your eggs in the ovary.
You're either born with the right amount or not,
and over time this level goes down too that's
why your chances of getting pregnant get
slimmer with age.
Momo: So I'll never have a baby?
Dr: I'm also a christian.... Scientifically your
ovary can not give a viable embryo but miracles
happen..

Her phone rang then she looked at the screen...

Momo: I have to take this.. (picked) Hello?

Receptionist: You have a client
Momo: Ok, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Bye

She hung up and looked at the door...

Momo: I'll get a second opinion on this issue.

Dr: Of course. Thank you

She stood up and walked out hanging her

handbag over her shoulder.

At work...

Minutes later she walked in the reception, a

gentleman stood up and they shook hands..
Momo: Good morning... You're Yaone's
colleague right?
Him: Yeah, Good morning...
Momo: This way...

She headed to the office and unlocked then she

took off her blazer and hung it around the chair
before sitting down. The gentleman opened his
briefcase and placed some papers on the table
before pushing them over...

Him: Oh and my name is Trevor, I'm from

Zambo & Attorney's. Please read these papers
and sign here..

She read the papers and frowned putting them

back...
Momo: I'll talk to my husband, there must be a
mistake, we were just fine in the morning. There
is no way he wants a divorce.
Him: Ma'am, signing here doesn't mean you're
actually divorcing, you're just acknowledging
that you received these papers from his lawyer
and when things usually reach this point you
have to talk to his lawyer. Everything goes
through his lawyer, that's why he involved a
lawyer.
Momo: I know his brother hates me, this was
his idea, but I'll talk to Pholo. I know he will
understand me. Please leave my office...

He stood up and walked out, Momo locked the

office and passed him on the way heading to
the parking lot.

At Pholo & Momo's House....

Minutes later she parked the car, his big car
wasn't in the garage but the small one was in
front of the house. Her heart pounded as she
tried to open the house but it was locked, she
took out her keys and unlocked then she walked
in taking off her heels, she noticed the TV was
missing, but only the TV then she limped to the
bedroom wearing one heel and stopped at the
door, the wardrobe doors were open and only
his clothes were gone, she opened the whole
wardrobe and all his shoes were gone...
Drawers? All his boxer briefs and socks were
gone. She took out her phone and dialled his
number...

Service provider voice: The number you've

dialled is not available at the moment, please
try again later.

At Yaone's House...

Later on Momo knocked on the door and

walked while Reneilwe and Shona were doing
makeup sitting on the couch while the TV
played cartoons for the children...

Momo: Hi...
Renei: Hi, this is Shona, she is Itai's wife...
Shona this is Momo, she is Pholo's wife... You
remember Pholo right, he is Yaone's brother..
Shona: I remember Paul
Renei: (laughed) It's actually Pholo, meaning
Healing.. But i can see why Itai would
pronounce it like that cause its close...
Shona: (laughed) But I noticed that you guys
emphasise that "o" at the end so I thought
maybe it's our accents-
Momo: Have you seen Pholo? i thought maybe
he came here..
Renei: No, why don't you call him?
Momo: His phone is off... (to Shona) So he isn't
at Itai's house?
Shona: No, i have my keys with me.
Momo: Ok, sorry ladies i can't stay, i have to go.
Renei: It's OK..
She turned around and walked out...

At Yaone's office...

Later on Momo knocked and walked in as

Yaone closed a file and leaned back putting his
foot on the table...

Yaone: I've just been told you're coming... In all

the years you've been married to my brother
you've never visited my office... Well except for
that year when you wanted to sign for the
properties.
Momo: Can i please talk to your brother, he is
overreacting..
He looked at her, tears filled her eyes as they
looked at one another... Ok, He wasn't
overreacting but she needed to at least explain
her side of the story, which nobody would ever
understand anyways.. She carefully rubbed
along her waterline careful not to smudge
herself with mascara...

Yaone: What are you really scared of? Be

honest with me... You don't love my brother.
Momo: I understand why you're saying that, but
I love your brother. I just didn't know how to
respond to certain things... I became impatient..
Yaone: You become generous with your body
and family money...
Momo: What are you talking about?
Yaone: It's that kind of pretence that makes me
feel like you're so not worth it, you used to be so
innocent... I would have never guessed you of
all people would do this...
Momo: I know you know where he is, and
maybe you won't let me see him because you're
afraid our love can survive anything.
Yaone: I didn't tell Pholo to do anything, the
good thing about this whole thing is that i didn't
advice him. I didn't Dr Phil him, he just came in
here and here we are... I'd advise you to come
for a meeting with me tomorrow so we talk
about the property because we are filing for a
quick divorce, do not think for a minute that this
is the type that will take years. In less than six
months I'll be closing this.

Momo looked at Yaone, her heart shuttered at

the thought... But from his voice there was no
way he'd understand her.. She sniffled and
walked out...
At Terry's House...

Meanwhile Terry's mother tearfully stared at

him...

Her: Wa ineelela ngwanaka... You do not treat

another man like that and take his wife the way
you're doing. God fights for people like that
Terry: She is in a loveless marriage, what can be
worse than that? Do you think Pholo would be
faithful to her if it was her? Definitely not.
Her: So you're going to keep a car that another
man worked for?
Terry: It was a gift... And she says it didn't come
from his account, i can't dispute that...
Her: I'm sure that boy regrets coming close to
me because i brought him nothing but pain.
Terry: Momo and i knew each before that.. She
is expecting my child mama, what do you
suggest i do?
Her: Do you honestly think you'll be happy with
her? And married people hardly leave each
other. She is just using you... You'll never have a
family you always dreamt of. Your life now is to
be a professional nyatsi. You've given up your
dreams for a married woman. How brilliant
Terry: I know she will never leave her husband...
Part of me knows. I was hoping she loved me
but today she made herself clear so i will also
find myself someone who will love me. As for
the baby I thought she was on contraceptives
all along....
Her: It's going to be difficult for me to accept
your girlfriend or whatever you call her, I'll never
love her and she should not set foot in my yard.
I don't have a choice about the child but your
relationship with another man's wife will never
have my blessings. I hope it blows up on your
face and burns you so you learn a lesson... I
brought you food, but you're clearly not hungry
since you have a sugar mama.

She picked her bag and walked out as Terry

followed her quietly not sure what to say.

Terry: Can i drop you at home?

Her: Not in Pholo's car. Thank you.

He watched her walk away and sighed pressing

his phone...

At Momo's House...

Later that night Momo dialled Pholo sitting on

the bed as tears filled her eyes, the number
wasn't still going through, she hung up and
grabbed her keys then she drove off...

Minutes later she parked next to Terry's car and

knocked on the door, he moved the curtains
looking outside and took a few minutes inside..
She knocked again and waited...

Momo: Terry? I saw you moving the curtains...

She knocked on the door again and walked to

the window where she put her hands over the
window trying to see inside but the curtains
were dark. She knocked and there was no
response...

Momo: If you don't open this door I'll break the

car i bought with my money.
He opened the door and stepped aside then she
walked in.

At Terry's House...

She sighed and looked at him..

Momo: Why did you take so long to open?

Terry: (sighed) Cause my conscience haunts
me...ever since I met you I've lost myself.... Not
only did I sleep with a married woman i
attacked a man that helped my mother recover.
He told me not to pay him and that thing hurts
me... As if that's not enough I'm still sleeping
with his wife, I'm digging in his pockets... It's
more than just disrespectful. I've lost my values
as an individual and i feel like I've reduced
myself to nothing...

She sat down and sighed...

Momo: I think he knows... I don't know how

much he knows but he knows we've been
meeting here or that i gave you a car... He filed
for divorce and he moved out when i was out,
he took the TV and his clothes... His brother is
his lawyer...
She tearfully looked at him and shook her
head....

Momo: His brother hates me so i know I'm

getting nothing out of this marriage, but it's not
just about the properties... I love Pholo... I
cheated for sex... I've been strong for so long
without sex... Its embarrassing to even admit
that I cheated for sex because i don't want to
tell anyone that Pholo has a problem... And i
hope you didn't tell anyone either... But it's
difficult to be faithful when you're not getting
any sex... I've been patient but people think I'm
just a loose woman..

He took a deep breath and sighed sitting on the

other couch...

Terry: I'm sorry... I know how you feel about

him... Have you tried talking to him?
Momo: His phone is off.
Terry: Is there anything I can do to help?
Momo: No, and I don't think we should still keep
talking... I like the sex but i also love him, and it
seems like i can't have both.
Terry: My mother was just here talking about
respecting marriage and whatnot.... And how
married people never really leave each other...
I'm not saying you ever lied to me. You haven't
promised me anything and i appreciate that but
part of me was hoping things fall apart so I can
gain you...but at the same i respect your choice,
and I'm sorry for what you're going through.
Momo: But i know if i talk to Pholo i can fix this...
I'll fix it..
Terry: So what does us not talking mean?
Momo: I want to end things and focus on my
family...

Terry swallowed and scratched his head

popping his knuckles...

Terry: I don't know what to say... But I'm

disappointed that we haven't really fucked mo
eleng gore it cause so much fights...

She sighed and stood up as he looked at her, he

stood up and hugged her...

Terry: Go fix your family, i love you but after my

conversation with my mother i realise that we
can't be anything more than this... I was
thinking... After everything Pholo did for me, the
least I can do is to let him have his child, unless
he one day decides not to be there, of course
then I'll step up... But I'd like to see the baby
every once in a while even if he doesn't know
who I am.
Momo: What are you talking about?
Terry: I know you're pregnant
Momo: I'm not pregnant, and I'll probably never
be... Apparently my eggs didn't develop
correctly or something like that.. But I'm going
to get second opinion.
Terry: I think the problem is Pholo, i know cause
my uncle diabetes and he only has one child he
had before he was diagnosed.
Momo: But Pholo was fine at the beginning... If
it wasn't for the diabetes i wouldn't even have
cheated because your dick is smaller than his..

He passed and looked at her...

Momo: That came out wrong but..
Terry: What a way to spoil my day.. (laughed
frustratedly) So i have a baby dick now?
Momo: Now you're being dramatic... Your dick
is fine, i meant his dick is thick... You're the
same length... Ka length la lekana but he is
thicker but you're the same length that's why i
like you because your length is rare to-never
mind... How did we even get to this topic.

He chuckled and stood up frustratedly rubbing

his lips...

Terry: Anyways I'm sorry about your eggs and

all... I'm just shocked that with your dick
analysis... Does he know he is bigger than me?
Momo: Pholo doesn't like details, if i were to
admit i slept with you that's all he needs to
know, he stops me from saying anything else.
He just ask if we slept together and used
protection, gaa bate details.
Terry: (sighed relieved) OK...

She stood up and looked at the time..

Momo: It's late and i don't want to be seen in

your house.
Terry: Ok, come here...

He hugged her and kissed her...

Terry: Take care..

Momo: Thank you...
She walked out as he followed her and opened
the door for her. She got in and closed the door.

Momo: I hope I'll fix my marriage waitse..

Terry: (smiled) If you don't plan B is here...
Momo: (laughed) Mxm
Terry: (laughed) At least you laughed. Drive
safely
Momo: Bye
Terry: By the way do get that second opinion
alright? I know you want a baby.
Momo: Yeah..

She drove off and deleted his number...

At Momo's House...
Later that night Momo laid down in bed and
stared at the ceiling. The house was silent, and
now that she was thinking about it... If Pholo
knows about the car, the watch was a deal
breaker... But how do you even spoil someone
who already has everything and can afford
anything...

At Maya's House...

"I have a degree in Business marketing, and I

have 3 years of experience working for one of
the best companies in Maun. My contract
wasn't renewed this week but my daughter
needs to school, i must pay the rent and the
loan i got to buy my selailai... If you can't help
me find a a job at least share my post so
someone can buy my selailai, i love this baby
girl but if i have to sell her and use taxis I will.
Please help a sister out. 🙏 Thank you. My
contact details are below.

Maya posted on her account and sighed

tearfully looking at her daughter laying next to
her, of course her enemies would celebrate
seeing her post but at this point she didn't care.
There was a knock on the door then she walked
out and opened the door. Titus walked in with
his girlfriend..

Maya: (faced away so she wouldn't see her lips)

I thought we are talking about the child we
made together, the two of us not your girlfriend..

She noticed a little bump and looked at Titus

speechless...
Titus: (put a fist over his mouth like he was
rubbing his lips) Kana nna anong I'm in prison..
She won't let me breath.

The girlfriend looked at him suspiciously and

moved his hand then he leaned over and kissed
her. Maya rolled her eyes and sat down..

Titus: (faced away so she wouldn't see his lips)

I'm just kissing her for my baby's sake... You
know i love you..
Maya: Titus my contract hasn't been renewed...
I don't know how I'm going to pay rent or school
fees, i need you to help me... P500 won't be
enough especially if I'm not working. School bus
is P500, school fees is P650.. I'll find a way to
buy grocery. I need you to pay school, bus, and
buy snacks.
Titus: You know that i don't make much... P500
is all I can afford right now because loans get
everything. My net salary is P1000.. That P500
was a sacrifice.

The girlfriend took out her writing pad and

wrote something then she handed Maya...

Her: I will pay her school fees, Titus can give

you that P1000 then I'll take care of our bills
alone until you find a job.

Maya read the words again, this time slowly

then she looked at her and swallowed.. She
emotionally and tearfully put her hand on her
chin and lowered it down towards her signing a
thank you in sign language. The girlfriend
smiled and wrote again..
Her: She is my sons sister..

Maya: How am i going to give you a baby mama

attitude when you're being nice? I want to keep
sleeping with him and give you attitude.

She laughed and wrote again smiling.

Her: I got you good. Don't bite the hands that

feeds.. You better find that job quick so you can
be a bitter baby mama.
Maya: Help me find a job, i can't let you win.
Her: Lol...

They both stood up and hugged as Titus

grabbed their pad and read what they were
saying then he grabbed her and turned her
around..

Titus: I can afford my children... You don't have

to pay anything, i can support this one and the
coming one..

They turned and looked at him, they didn't say

anything they just looked at him then he looked
down and sighed..

Titus: I'm going to start forex trading and be

rich... Very soon I'll be downloading money and
you won't look at me like that.

She grabbed her writing pad and they shook

their hands...
At the hospital...

The next morning Momo parked the car and

stepped out as another doctor stepped out of
his car.

Him: Oh hi Mrs Bathusi

Momo: Hi, I'm looking for my husband..
Him: Didn't he take a leave of absence
yesterday? He said something like Gaborone, so
his leave wasn't approved?
Momo: Oh
Him: Wait, how come you don't-
Momo: Thank you..

She got back in the car and drove off as the

doctor stood there confused. He took out his
phone and dialled Pholo..

Pholo: Yeah
Dr: I don't know what the hell just happened but
it's weird, are you having marital issues?
Pholo: What happened?
Dr: Your wife was in the parking lot looking for
you so i asked her if your leave wasn't approved.
She just took off.. The whole conversation was
awkward as fuck.
Pholo: (laughed) It's ok, I'm getting divorced... I
don't want to go into details but yeah, ke
divorce.
Dr: You're not fighting or stalking each other
right?
Pholo: Nah, we are good actually. I just landed
in Gaborone. I'll be in Maun in a couple of days.
Dr: Alright, cool.
He hung up and walked in the hospital...

At the fertility clinic..

Meanwhile the doctor walked in and sat down

as Pholo sat on the other chair...

Dr: Ok... So our results are here, and your boys

are good... They're really good, as much as I
want to make money through IVF i don't think
you need one, how bad is the ED
Pholo: (laughed) Really bad, like jelly soft..

They laughed out loud...

Pholo: But that's not the only reason I came, i

want an egg donor... I'm getting divorced and i
know that no woman wants a man that can't get
it up... A man is a dick and i don't have one, but i
want a family. I want someone who will give me
a purpose in life, I want to see what kind of
babies I can make... Is it possible in Botswana?
Dr: As a fertility doctor I'm actually offended
that you'd ask that, so many people go outside
Botswana to do this as if we can't do this...
Pholo: But admit that you guys hardly advertise
us or let us know you can do this... I have 2
patients who had kids through IVF because of
cancer and they did it in SA, one of them
actually recommended me a reasonable price
clinic there but then a colleague told me about
you.. So ware i can do this as a man alone?
Dr: It's possible... Very very possible
Pholo: Where will I get the egg donor?
Dr: We have donors of our own, most of them
are university students who just want cash and
some unemployed youth. You choose the egg
based on the donors features..
Pholo: (smiled) Are you serious? This sounds
like a movie, can i really have a baby?
Dr: Yes... Batswana kana you always trust
hearsay, we can help you but what we currently
can't provide you with is a surrogate. You can
choose the egg and we fertilise this egg with
your sperm,
Pholo: I want to kids ke heletse ruri hela.
Dr: Yeah, but you'll have to find a surrogate and
get a lawyer to write a contract for two, it's your
responsibility to take care of the surrogate to
make sure that she delivers healthy babies...
Rona all we do is to plant your baby in her
womb.. You'll be kind of renting her womb.. And
it must be worth it too because pregnancy
alone is a lot of work, labour is another story
plus there is recovery expenses for your
surrogate.
Pholo: (smiled)I think i know the right person
for this... I'll make her an offer she won't refuse...
She is also a good candidate because she has
had a baby before.
Dr: Perfect... We first have to put you through
counselling.
Pholo: Can i select the donor?
Dr: Yes... But that's all you'll get. You're not
allowed to contact the donor.
Pholo: I'm not interested in that, but I want to
make babies with a beautiful woman in case i
have daughters.. Ke bata nnana wa shambole...
Ke bata yellowbone e ntle.
Dr: (laughed) We have them, we even have
colored donors. Kana to donate an egg they get
paid 5K so for young girls that's a lot... That's
how they buy iPhones for Instagram. Sperm
donors are cheaper because they're not rare, a
container is P200. An egg is expensive because
its hard to find donors... We give them fertility
pills so they release better eggs during
ovulation.
Pholo: (smiled) Uh mr areye... I want to pick the
one with the features i want... I want good
genes. Are they screened for hereditary
conditions and-
Dr: Of course, not everyone qualifies to be an
egg donor. (stood) Let's go this way... But you'll
go through counselling before we proceed.
You're about to be a single father and you need
to have a solid plan for the newborns. A
surrogate should mostly be someone who isn't
close to you so she doesn't psychologically
bond with your baby.. But if you're OK with that
candidate then it's cool, some people are fine
especially married women or women who have
their families.. You'll make the final decision
after counselling.

They walked in the screening room...

Dr: Put your phone over there, you're not

allowed to record or take any proof or
identification of the donors.
Pholo: Ok..

He put down his things and followed the Dr into

the screening room where he turned off the
lights and switched the projector on.

We have different categories.. Our doners are

grouped with their features as you can see...
Group 1 we have only 2 white donors.
Pholo: Not lekgoa, no to group 2 as well, ake
bate le colored.. Ke bata ngwanyana hela o
setswana mme ale mosweu, beautiful too..
Group 3, is fine..

He clicked on group 3 and scrolled through

pictures of girls standing on the backdrop of
the fertility clinic.

Dr: Stop me when you see your baby mama..

He laughed as the pictures passed... A young

beautiful woman popped with a nice smile,
actually she was a ticktocker he followed... She
was so beautiful even this picture didn't do her
justice, this girl was beautiful..

Pholo: That one.

Dr: You can keep scrolling in case you see
something better
Pholo: No, this one is good. She will give me
beautiful babies. You don't tell them who
bought their eggs right? I don't want drama.
Dr: No, we don't.
Pholo: Perfect... Let's get started...

He leaned back and smiled at the thought of

being a daddy...not to 1 but two babies.

At the hotel...(Gaborone City)

Later that evening Pholo and a group of other

residents played pool watching the game, he
picked his pool cue and leaned over aiming at
the ball and hit, they all watched as he scored...

Player: (thoughtfully) Ng ng...

They all laughed and watched as he tried to

work on a come back, girls sitting on the chairs
smiled and giggled waving and wiggling their
fingers at the guys...

Man: (looked at the girls) Someone invite those

hunnies..
Man2: They're beautiful..

The two girls finally walked over as Pholo bent

over and hit the ball..

Girl: Hi..
Player: Hi
Girl: (smiled to Pholo) Gao buisane?

He turned looking at her and smiled..

Pholo: Oh hi...

He carried on playing as the girl stood besides

him...
Girl: Can you teach me how to play?

Pholo smiled and showed her his ring...

Pholo: (smiled politely) Sorry

Girl: (smiled embarrassed) It's ok...
Pholo: But tell you what... (gave her P100) You
go get yourself a drink..

She smiled blushing and walked away then he

carried on playing as the other man looked at
him.

Player: Did you just reject le 2000?

Pholo: Play, its your turn.
Player: Your wife must be using strong portion
on you.
He laughed and carried on playing, so it turns
out this ring would be useful after all. He didn't
have to explain much and maybe ladies would
just play away and spare him the
embarrassment. After the game he bid the guys
goodbye and headed to his room searching
Maya's post again...

At Momo's House...

Meanwhile Maya knocked on the door and

stepped back, Momo opened the door in her
pyjamas holding a glass...

Momo: Hi..
Maya: Hi,
She walked in and frowned fanning away the
smell of burnt food. She put her phone down
and opened the other window...

Maya: Open the windows, did you burn?

Momo pushed the window open and sipped...

Momo: I was trying to cook then i forgot about

it and sat on my phone for too long looking
Pholo.
Maya: Ok, have you spoken to the boss about
my contract? They respect you so much if you
put in a good word or remind them they might
try.
Momo: Is there any reason they wouldn't renew
your contract?
Maya: What's that supposed to mean? You
know I'm a hard worker and I'm a professional
at work. Will you help me or not? Please... I
wouldn't ask if i wasn't desperate, you know
Titus is just a dick. And now he has a baby with
sign language girl koore he is broke to the core
ibile the girl is paying for my daughter's school.
I mean it's nice and all but my ego is corroding...
I need a job
Momo: Maya, I'm just an employee... You know
how strict our boss is...
Maya: But they like you, and they respect you...
Please talk to him for me.
Momo: I can't promise anything but I'll try...
Maya: Ao the mma keya kopa
Momo: I'll try

Maya's phone rang on the table, Momo looked

at the screen and noticed it was Pholo from the
caller ID app...

Momo: It's Pholo, why is Pholo calling you?

Maya: Maybe he is trying to call you, you can
pick.

Momo looked at her and picked...

Momo: Hello?
Pholo: Hi
Momo: (smiled walking away) Hi...
Pholo: Neela Maya phone {Give Maya the phone}
Momo: You called her?
Pholo: Hence i dialled her number
Momo: Where are you? We need to talk.
Pholo: I understand that, but i need to talk to
Maya. (calmly) Please..

She walked back and put him on loudspeaker

before handing Maya the phone.

Maya: What?
Momo: Don't act new..
Maya: (confused) Hello?
Pholo: Ke a go lletsa o aba phone ne wena? {I
call you and you give away your phone?}
Maya: I thought you're calling her
Pholo: Ok, nta go lletsa kgantele ole free abe re
bua then. {OK, I'll call you later when you're free
so we can talk}

A cold spine ran down her spine as Momo

stared at her folding her arms, and it was his
tone too... Never had she heard his voice that...
That... She couldn't even explain that thing he
did with his voice and how calm he was.

Maya: About what?

Pholo: Shap

He hung up and she looked at Momo who

stared at her in disbelief..

Momo: So what's going on?

Maya: With what? I don't know why he called
me.
Momo: Am i supposed to believe that? Pholo
won't talk to me but he can talk to you abe le
appointa?
Maya: Momo I don't know what he wants,
whatever he will be calling for i will record our
conversation and send it to you. I don't know
what you're thinking but i am not that kind of
friend that takes advantage of another friend's
situation. You can trust me... I know men... We
are better than them and as long as we have
each other we are fine. (smiled) OK?

Momo smiled tearfully and nodded her head,

Maya hugged her and rubbed her back...

Maya: I have to go, i left my girl sleeping

Momo: Ok, bye
Maya: Bye

Momo: Don't forget to record... I'll talk to the

manager for you.
Maya: Ok..
She turned around and walked out, she got in
the car and drove off...

At Maya's House...

Later that night, she walked in the house and

locked the door as she received a video call
from Pholo. He seemed to have been sitting on
the pool, she could tell by the blue lights and he
was in his vest and shorts as he kicked the
water holding a glass...

Pholo: Hi..
Maya: What's going on?
Pholo: My brother drafted something
confidential for us...
Maya: Us?
Pholo: Yeah, you need a job and I need to rent
something for like 9 months..
Maya: I'm lost
Pholo: I sent the document through WhatsApp,
read it and sleep on it then talk to me in the
morning.
Maya: Ke tshogile gore kana you never talk to
me. I think this is the longest conversation
we've ever had.
Pholo: (laughed) I know, i never have anything
to say unless it's important... Ago bala abe o
robala o ikakantse, phakela ke ago cheka a
utwa?
Maya: Ok, let me go read.
Pholo: Sure. Oh, and that information is
confidential, that means no one should know
about it including your close friends or anyone.
Goodnight

He hung up and clicked on WhatsApp, she

clicked on the document and scanned through,
140K?? Surrogate?? Temporary stay at a
Mansion for 9 months?? Private hospital care??
All expenses for her daughter paid for in full for
that 9 months?? Just to carry his two embryos
for 9 months... Children who aren't hers
biologically? Mmh?

OK, she needed to read this document again,

this time slowly, as long as it was she started
reading it again and stopped at the
confidentiality section... Her heart pounded as
she looked at "the proposed amount for your
assistance is 140k but you're more than
welcome to negotiate".

At Maya's House...

The next morning Maya prepared her daughter

for school, she thoughtfully held her daughters
buns while she sang her ABCs unbothered...

She walked to the fridge and put the last

yoghurt, drink and the snacks then she zipped
her bag..
Her: I don't have a pencil
Maya: You lost your pencil again?
Her: They stole it
Maya: Uh mma...

She took out the last pencil and cut it in half

then she sharpened it for her, the school bus
honked and she ran out putting her bag up her
shoulders as Maya stood at the door admiring
her, she sighed and folded her arms going back
to Pholo's offer. It was so clear there was
something big brewing between Momo and
Pholo... And as much as she didn't want to get
involved this money was tempting. Her phone
rang inside then she walked back in and picked..

Maya: Hello?
Momo: Hi, did he call?
Maya: Not yet
Momo: Did you tell him you're free to talk so he
calls?
Maya: No
Momo: I'll sneak out and come over so you can
talk to him in my presence.
Maya: No its OK, let me just call him
Momo: Don't forget to record.
Maya: Ok

She hung up and dialled Pholo..

Pholo: (sounded walking) Hi

Maya: Hi, can we talk?
Pholo: I'm checking in at the airport, I'll be in
Maun in an hour, we can go out for lunch and
talk?
Maya: Pholo no, you're Momo's husband i just
wanted to understand something-
Pholo: How about my brother's office then?
What are you comfortable with?
Maya: Nothing-
Pholo: Thwaagala the mma
Maya: You're putting me in an awkward position
and-
Pholo: I'm checking in, I'll call you when I'm in
Maun.

He hung up then she sighed and put down the

phone...

At Momo's office...

Meanwhile the boss's assistant knocked on the

door and walked in..

Her: Mr Friday would like to see you

Momo: Ok.

She stood up and put on her blazer then she

walked towards the director's office where she
knocked and walked in, Mr Friday leaned back
on his chair while his oldest son stood by with
his hands in the pockets.

Momo sincerely sat and pulled her chair as her

heart pounded...

Friday: Good morning Mrs Bathusi

Momo: Good morning
Friday: I've just been informed of an
unauthorised transaction of 120k, (showed her
the cheque) do you know anything about it?

Momo's heart pounded as she looked at it..

Momo: I don't know anything about it...

Son: Mrs Bathusi, you've been a good employee
with a good reputation... If you got tempted on
the way, now would be a good time to explain.
This company has a board of directors, and
those directors also own half of the businesses
in Maun so if you lose your job, your chances of
finding another one will be very slim. I'm not
accusing you of any wrong doing, we just need
to get back this 120K. We wouldn't want to call
auditors to cross check all our books...
Friday: Mrs Bat?
Momo: I will go through all our books and
balance everything that's when I account for
that.
Mr Friday: Ok, have a good day.
Momo: Thank you

She stood up and walked out checking her

account balance then she dialed Terry.

Voice: The number you've-

She hung up and sighed looking at the time. It

would take forever for it to be lunchtime, but
she had to wait.

At Terry's company...

During lunchtime Momo walked in through the

reception..

Momo: Hi, is Terry in?

Her: No, they're working on a project at a
campsite in Sankoyo, they will be back next
week.
Momo: His phone isn't going through
Her: There is poor network there..
Momo: Ok, thanks.

She turned and walked out

At the bank...

Minutes later she parked the car and sighed

thoughtfully, then she finally made up her mind
and walked inside, she walked towards the
loans section and thank God there was a free
table. She smiled and sat down lookin at the
friendly worker...

Her: Hi
Momo: Hi, i need a loan for 120K, how soon can
i have it?
Her: Within 48 hours, we will need employment
confirmation and three recent bank statements,
are you married in community of property?
Momo: Yes
Her: We will need your spouse consent
Momo: can't you assist without it
Her: No,i can't...
Momo: (stood up) OK, I'll talk to my husband.
Her: Ee mma.
She walked out and walked around her car
taking pictures then she sat inside and posted
on facebook. She dialled Maya...

Maya: Hello?
Momo: What did he say?
Maya: He asked about you and Terry, i told him
you're not seeing him.
Momo: Ok,
Maya: Have you talked to the boss?
Momo: Um yes, he said he will consider you..
But he didn't seem convincing, please keep
applying for jobs.
Maya: Ok...
Momo: Can i ask you something?
Maya: Yes?
Momo: Please block Pholo, i don't feel
comfortable with you two talking.
Maya: Ok, I'll block him.
Momo: Bye

She hung up and sighed dialling a pawn shop....

At the hotel...

Meanwhile Maya walked in the restaurant and

looked around, Pholo leaned back and smiled
then she walked over to the table, he stood up
and pulled the chair back for her, then he pulled
it behind her as she sat down. He sat down
signaled the waitress...

Maya: I don't want to eat anything..

Pholo: Bring her dessert and apple juice..
Waitress: Coming right up...

He leaned back and their eyes met, but she

looked away...

Pholo: (smiled) Wa reng??

She shook her head still looking away, the

waitress brought her things and she smiled...

Maya: Thank you...

She took the first spoon as he stared at her...

Pholo: Did you understand everything?

Maya: I think so
Pholo: Tell me what you understand..
Maya: I understand that you have made a baby
with another woman and you need my womb to
carry that baby for 9 months, you'll be taking me
into your care so you can be sure about the
safety of your babies... You'll be taking care of
me, there will be a house helper who cooks and
cleans for me and my daughter if i choose to
come with her. If she stays with her father you'll
take care of her school fees and all her
expenses... I understand that I'm not the mother
of your children and I'm just carrying them. But
I'm asking for 200k instead of 140k because
twins are a risk... If you don't mind.
Pholo: 200K is it. You understand that once my
kids are inside you you can't be having sex
because-
Maya: I don't have a boyfriend and my goal is to
make money. I don't care about sex, there are
other ways to get pleasure without having sex.
Pholo: Good girl...
Maya: So who donated you eggs?
Pholo: I don't know her, we are not supposed to
request information about egg donors but i saw
her and she is going to give me beautiful babies.
Maya: (smiled) Congratulations
Pholo: It's a long process, and you'll have to talk
to your people o laele but don't mention my
children because i don't want anyone knowing
about them.
Maya: I won't..
Pholo: Ok, go get ready because i want to start
this at least in a month... I desperately need
something to motivate through my divorce. I
don't have a purpose in life besides saving
people's lives, you'll be caring my happiness so
from now on your comfort and happiness will
be my priority because i don't want any
complications..
Maya: Thank you, i won't disappoint you. Let me
go discuss my daughter with Titus
Pholo: Sure, plus you have a lot of medical tests
you have to go through and pass. We will be
flying to Gaborone, after getting the embryos
that's when we will come to Maun. I want a
house outside Maun where you and i can stay
without drama until the kids are here.
Maya: Ok.
Pholo: Good, go think about it some more when
you've made up your mind we go sign that
contract at my brother's office.
Maya: Ee rra

They finished eating...

Maya: (stood) Go siame

Pholo: Sure
Maya: Bye

She walked out and sighed, for some reason

she felt like Pholo was looking at her and
because of these she couldn't even walk
properly and she thought she'd fall, she turned
around looking back, Pholo smiled giving a little
peace sign, she smiled back and hurried out
where she sighed in relief....

At Maya's House...

Later on Momo drove through the gate just as

Maya parked her car... She stepped out and
walked towards the car then she picked Maya's
phone...

Momo: Unlock the phone, Did you manage to

block him?
Maya: Let me see..

Maya's heart pounded as she got her phone,

Momo moved over breathing down her neck
looking at the screen... She had received a call
from Pholo just before their meeting and she
didn't want her seeing this...

Maya: (smiled) Why are you looking at my

phone?
Momo: (smiled suspiciously) What's the big
deal? show me you blocked him... I don't have
Titus number so you shouldn't talk to Pholo.
Maya: Give me my handbag mo

Momo turned reaching for her bag then she

quickly deleted the call log and blocked him.
Momo handed her the bag and she unlocked
then gave it back to Momo who checked, she
smiled and gave it back.

Momo: Thanks for being understanding

Maya: It's ok... (smiled) I have good news to
share
Momo: What?
Maya: I found a job at some boers farm, I'll be
leaving in a couple of days if not weeks.. I'll be
managing the farm, we grow vegetables and
supply supermarkets, you know the government
banned importation of vegetables right? So I'll
be staying there and only come on holidays.
Momo: (smiled) Oh my God tsala!
Congratulations the mma wena..

They hugged smiling.

At the Fertility clinic... (Gaborone)

Pholo and Maya waited by the waiting area,

there was an awkward silent moment... They
never spent so much time alone together
before and there was nothing to chat about,
even waiting here was more than the word
awkward. Maya took out her phone and got on
social media while Pholo clicked on YouTube
and watched a video of how to care for a
pregnant woman as he put the pod in his ear...

Minutes later the doctor walked by as his coat

waved by...

Doctor: Let's do this!

Maya stood up and tapped Pholo who quickly

took off his ear pod and followed them.

Maya: (whispered smiling) I want to pee

Pholo: (laughed) Your bladder has to be full
when they plant the embryos.. Itshware 5
minutes they will be done.
Maya: I'm scarednyana
Pholo: It's nothing plus I'm right here...

Maya walked in and sighed folding her arms

looking at the hospital bed with lights hanging
over and the screen... A nurse walked in and
pushed the tray besides the bed while the
doctor put on his gloves..

Dr: Take off your panties and lay on your back...

No need to take off your clothes.

Maya took off her panties and put them aside

then she got on the bed, Pholo picked her
panties on the corner of the bed and stood by
the bed holding it on the other hand while he
put his hand on her shoulder...
Maya: Does it hurt?
Dr: No, you'll feel a bit uncomfortable but it's not
painful..
Pholo: (squeezed her shoulder) Relaxer.. If you
did a pep smear you can do this
Maya: Ok...

Dr: Ok, just to make sure we are all on board.

Here with me is our two embryos, we are going
to be connected to the screen so we can see
them landing in her womb... Technically you
can't see the embryo but the dot you're seeing
is the liquid carrying our each embryo.
Maya: Ok...

Maya took a deep breath laying on the bed with

her legs up, the doctor grabbed the syringe
doctor inserted the catheter all the way in as
Maya frowned smiling waiting for the pain to hit.

Dr: And we are done..

Maya: What?
Pholo: (laughed) What did you expect?

She lifted her head as the doctor pointed to the

screen...

Dr: Those little dots are the embryos inside of

you. In 2 weeks you'll take a pregnancy test
which will comfirm the pregnancy... But
technically you're now pregnant so keep taking
your folic acid and take care of yourself.
Maya: Ok..

Pholo walked towards her open legs holding her

panties, she closed her legs putting her hand
over her, he put each of her legs in her panties
and pulled them up, she reached down to pull
up her panties but he pushed her hands..

Pholo: (laughed slapping her hands) Riana the

mma...

She lifted her butt then he pulled up her panties

and caught a glimpse of her little slice of
heaven. She had a nice neat pubic area...

Pholo: Nice...You mowed the lawn... I can't wait

for my first day mowing now that I'm the new
gardener.

She looked at him confused trying to

understand..
Maya: (laughed) Ware lawn e rileng?
Pholo: (laughed) Never mind...

For someone with a child she had a flat tummy

and very little stretch marks. Looking at this
whole pussy he could imagine his whole head
squeezing it's way through her... He placed his
hand over her stomach as if he'd feel his babies
then he leaned over whispered in her ear.

Pholo: Thank you, i promise I'll make this whole

process a smooth ride.

Maya smiled shyly as the doctor smiled

blushing looking at them with the corner of his
eye. He noticed he was making her
uncomfortable and turned his eyes back on the
tray as he took off his gloves..

Dr: We are done with everything so from here

you'll be seeing a doctor in Maun for your
normal pregnancy routine.
Pholo: I have that covered, i spoke to a friend of
mine.
Dr: Great..

Pholo stood in front of Maya as she sat on the

bed with her legs hanging, he fixed his specs
and put shoes on her legs then held her waist
helping her stand...She smelled good too.

Dr: (sighed) Alright. Have a safe flight back to

Maun.
Pholo: Thank you..
Maya: Thank you...

They walked out....

At the pawn shop...

Meanwhile Momo walked in and sat down as

the assistant took out a file...

Him: So you came back?

Momo: I couldn't find a buyer but i need the
money today because there is a disciplinary
committee today. What you're offering me is
not enough but if i show then something maybe
they will have mercy on me.
Him: Can't your family help out? I understand
you were wrong but i feel bad for you
Momo: My husband cannot know about this...
It's a secret I'm taking to my grave
Him: I mean your family
Momo: I come from a dysfunctional family, if
they find out they will tell my husband and his
family just so I can be humiliated more. My
family is not like most families...
Him: Ok,.. But where did you take the money?
Momo: It's a long story... I was buying someone
a car
Him: Perfect, that new car might actually be
worth more than what your car is.
Momo: I already gave him the car, he didn't ask
for it and you can't return gifts when the
relationship ends... I'll fix this. I created this
mess and i must face the music..
Him: What's he saying though? The person who
got the car
Momo: We haven't really met, he won a tender
in Sankoyo and he has been there for a month
now. Finish so I can go...

They processed, minutes later she walked out

of building and walked towards the taxi stop.
She took out her phone to text Pholo borrowing
his other car, but he had blocked her... He
probably wouldn't talk to her either, not that she
blamed him. Now that Terry's dick was out of
her system she knew she messed up and very
soon it would blow in her face... He had a court
date too...hospital appointment... A car stopped
then she opened the door and sat inside, she
driver turned looking at her, she noticed she
wasn't even in a taxi. She stepped out and
closed the door.

Momo: Skrru, i thought you're a taxi

Her: My Discovery looks like a taxi?
Momo: My mind is um...
Her: Ok, i understand.

The person she was stopping for jumped in and

they drove off. Maya took a deep breath and
sighed, she needed to face one problem at a
time... And it was the disciplinary meeting she
had this afternoon. Anything else she'd think
about after...the only thing she could hope for
was not to lose her job.

At the disciplinary meeting...

Hours later Momo's heart pounded as she

walked towards the conference room, she could
only imagine what was being said in there...
She opened the door and to her surprise it was
Mr Friday's second son. The young man was
sitting on one of the tables in his suit pressing
his phone... This was actually the one the most
friendliest Fridays. He got off the table and
walked towards her with the letter...

Him: I don't like losing good employees over

pettiness, consider yourself warned and on
probation. You have 7 days to return that
money, if not you'll lose your job. If you know
the old man you're working for you'd never steal
from him. Have a good day...

He walked out, she put her hand over her chest

and sighed in relief... Now that the friendly boss
was back from his honeymoon she'd let the air
clear for like a day and talk about Maya's
contract, for sure this one would understand
compared to those mafias. She took out her
phone and smiled texting Maya.

💃
Momo: Only got a warning letter. Can you
please come to Maun this weekend pretty
please... Anyways i checked on your baby girl
and dropped her snacks for school. That deaf
girl is actually nice to your baby. Love you girl.

At Maun International airport...

Hours later Pholo caught the keys as the

security guy threw them then they walked
towards the parking lot.

Pholo: How are you feeling?

Maya: I feel fine for the hundreds time, you're a
doctor you should know i can't feel anything
Pholo: I'm a doctor I'm not a woman... are you
hungry?
Maya: I'm good..
Pholo: Ok... Can't wait to meet your daughter,
can you believe I've been so busy i never met
your daughter?
Maya: Saving lives requires one to spend hours
in a hospital... I understand..

They got in the car then he drove off....

At Pholo's New House...

Later on Pholo smiled thoughtfully staring at

Maya across the table...

Pholo: So, what did you mean by there are other

ways to get pleasure other than penetration?
Maya: (smiled and laughed) Mxm

She stood up and walked away as he laughed

and threw her with a piece of corn, as soon as
he stood she ran, he chased after her and they
fell on the bed as he laid on her back putting her
on headlock...

Maya: (laughed out loud) Pholo o bolaa bana

the rra... {You're hurting the babies}

They laughed as he hugged her and flipped her

around, she laughed laying on top of him with
back and her hair getting on his face. He put her
aside and laid next to her...

Pholo: There is a game i want to play with you..

Come here

He got up as she stood on the bed then he

piggybacked her outside, he put her by the
couch and disappeared in the kitchen. Minutes
later he walked out with plate of flour powder
and put it on the table, he took out his phone
and smiled showing her.

Pholo: The game gives us letters then we say

animals that start with the letter, if you get it
wrong ke flour on your face hela...
Maya: (laughed and clapped) Challenge
accepted...

They sat next to one another as the game

started with Pholo, it put a Z on his forehead.
Pholo: Zebra

It put S on her..

Maya:Snake... Take off your specs, i won't have

mercy on you if you get it wrong.

She carefully took off his glasses and put them

in their container then she sat down. It put M
on him.

Pholo: Monkey

X on her, she smiled anxiously snapping her

finger... He smiled biting his lip as he put his
hand on the flour
Maya: Xire?...xara?...xii! Yes..xiii from the God's
must be crazy
Pholo: Heta... Come.. Ware xii..

He rubbed her face as she laughed. The game

gave him letter i.

Pholo: Um.... Fuck.... Ok, think.. Think

Maya: Ozala... Come... (she rubbed his face as
he laughed) Impala mosimanyana... Even the
embryos inside me know Impala, what did they
teach you at med school... O itse di science le
maths hela?

She stuck her tongue out laughing as she

rubbed his face then they carried on playing
loudly...

At Pholo's House...

The next morning Pholo breathed heavily

pumping inside Maya as she held him moaning,
his first shot wet his boxer briefs, he grasped
and woke up as his heart pounded, he looked at
his wet boxer briefs and hurried in the bathroom.

He pulled down his briefs and stood by the

toilet wiping himself, he paused and looked at
his meat... It wasn't that hard but it wasn't soft
either... Or maybe he was imagining it, it was a
bit heavier too...but to dream about Maya of all
people... He sighed guilty and sat on the toilet
seat... But then it was just a dream, him and
Maya were just doing business and he'd do his
best to make her happy for as long as she was
carrying his kids. Deal... He sighed reassuring
himself and got in the shower....

Meanwhile inside Maya's room, she smiled

watching their videos from last night's games...
She stared at Pholo's face as he laughed and
she laughed all over again, it didn't make
sense... Why would Momo cheat on such a
gentle man... He wasn't even stingy, the guy
made her travel on air for their IVF
appointments, slept in good hotels, the list was
endless... After dealing with Titus who had
nothing except a dick she'd trade anything for a
good man even if he couldn't get it up... Sex
was never really that important to her anyways...
The way mjolo mopped the floor with her
behind... But then maybe it's a matter of
standards or something... She clicked on
another video of her sitting on the carpet while
Pholo sat behind her as they played a game of
guessing country names based on pictures...
She laughed blushing... The pain of not being
able to post a good video just because the new
friend is your friend's husband... It cut too deep.
She clicked on their Gaborone trip pictures, her
first time flying, him teaching her how to swim
and that video where he ran from behind and
lifted her while she was doing a tiktok video.. It
was even in slow motion with a beautiful song...
Nxowwww... Pholllll... She smiled widely even
her cheeks hurt.

There was a knock on the door, she responded

then he stuck his head in and looked at her
laying on the bed...

Pholo: Hi..
Maya: Hi..

He walked in and sat on her bed, then he

noticed their video and got her phone watching
it...

Maya: If you were a stranger I'd post that. I've

never had such beautiful pictures before...
(laughed) Mathata I said i work in a farm so i
can't even post myself flying, or in hotels, even
that shopping... I wanted to post myself alone
without you but still Momo will want details
cause we are friends.... As for our videos eish. I
wish i could post them ko tiktok
Pholo: I wouldn't mind if you post them, you can
do whatever you want, as long as the pregnancy
is private I'm fine.
Maya: Uh no, i can't do that.. You're married..
Pholo: Divorcing, gape Momo doesn't care
about me if you think she will be hurt. She is
busy with Terry enjoying herself... After divorce
tabe ba peka ba jola... Besides her...you're my
friend...
Maya: (smiled blushing) Surrogate
Pholo: (smiled) Surrogate and friend... Gone
mme akere waitse gore there is no way we will
spend a year together alone and not bond? In a
month I've just seen another part of you i never
noticed..
Maya: Le nna i didn't know you... I always saw
you as a nerd especially because you hardly
socialise. You're actually fun to be with. I don't
understand what Momo meant by you're bor-
She stopped her mouth diarrhea flow and
laughed as he laughed and stood...

Pholo: I'm going to work...

She sat up pulling the sheet up her chest...

Maya: Bring my gown.

He handed her the gown then she put it on and

smiled looking at him, all these time she never
really noticed more than she was now...the guy
looked so good in formal wear and he smelled
nice too...Actually he smelled expensive.

Pholo: O shapo?
Maya: Yeah
Pholo: Alright..(touched her chin) Call me if you
need anything.
Maya: Ok
Pholo: (smiled and pulled her up) Areye o
mpoledise ko garaging {take me half way to the
garage}

She got up and put on her sleepers then they

walked past the kitchen where the helper was
making her breakfast.

In the garage Maya folded her arms as Pholo

opened the driver's door and got in putting his
coat on the passenger seat..

Maya: Pholo?
Pholo: (turned) Mma

She reluctantly looked at him and looked down

still folding her arms. He stepped out and faced
her holding her shoulders..

Pholo: Talk to me, i don't want you worrying

about anything... O nne open
Maya: It's nothing, i just wanted to say thank
you for this offer. It will change my life because
I'm going to start a business once I'm done here.
Pholo: Thank you for helping me... Not many
people can leave everything behind for 10
months...

He hugged her and kissed her cheek before

spanking her..
Pholo: Go get some sleep, eat too i want
healthy babies
Maya: (smiled) Drive safely..

He reversed out of the garage as she curved her

lips smiling then she turned and walked back in
the house...

At Momo's House...

Later that morning the taxi honked outside,

Momo locked the house and hurried out. Once
inside the taxi she took out her phone and
checked her messages.

Maya: Wow, thanks a lot tsala. Stepma sa

gagwe told me you brought some snacks.
Momo: How is the farm life?
Maya: It's good, i can't complain.
Momo: Nna mma i still haven't had a chance to
talk to Pholo, but I'll check him at work.
Maya: Ok love
Momo: I was about to stress myself but then
knowing Pholo i know he is just taking time off,
ene akase jole because he is afraid women will
find out his shortcomings. Ke lucky because of
that.
Maya: I see, gone mme you're lucky.
Momo: I just need to meet him in person and
talk to him, Pholo is forgiving gape he loves me,
that ke sure. His brother won't win this one, ke
go ipharasa hela.
Maya: Lol
Momo: Lol I'm serious, Pholo is my man. We
will find a way to solve this issue.
Maya: Where is Terry?
Momo: Terry mma is another issue, i decided to
let him go until I've resolved the issue at hand.
The risk was too much
Maya: Ok, so who do you really love between
them?
Momo: I love Pholo with all my heart, 😂 ke a go
bona kae monna wa semata o itidimaletseng?
Plus he can't get it up so at least I'm 100% he is
doing nothing wherever he is. He will never
cheat on me.. I can't believe i used to have
sleepless nights thinking he was cheating. Yole
Terry was just a quick snack. I'm going to fix my
family
Maya: At least you're sure he isn't having sex.
Kante what happened with the doctor's
appointment?
Momo: Turns out i can't have children, but I'm
going to see second opinion. Pholo and I will
find a solution.
Maya: I'm sure you will. Let me go and water the
vegetables, I'll talk to you later.

She put her phone in the handbag and leaned

back. Minutes later she stepped out and closed
the door then she walked in the building.

At the hospital...

Later on during lunchtime Pholo walked out of

the building talking to the phone..

Yaone: I'll be in the office waiting for you.

Pholo: Sure

He hung up and noticed Momo waiting next to

his car then he turned around and walked back
inside where he used another exit and got a ride
from a colleague.

Meanwhile Momo leaned against the car

waiting...

EIGHT MONTHS LATER.....

At Pholo's House...

In the backyard garden Maya watched a netflix

series laying on the stretcher, the sound of the
water fountain and the birds landing and
tweeting together with the thick shadow of the
big evergreen trees made this area the best part
of the the yard to relax.. Her daughter shouted
"mama" as she swung back and forth with her
head on the same level with her body, her
braided her dragged back and forth as she
laughed...

Her: Mama look!

Maya: (paused her series) If your hand slips
you'll fall and break your arm.
Her: I won't.. So mama? Do you have a baby in
your stomach?
Maya: No, if you were going to have a little
sister I would have told you.
Her: Your stomach is big like when auntie said
she is pregnant and the doctors took out baby
Oyster
Maya: I'm not pregnant my baby, i just ate too
much beans.. I'm bloated. Please sit up and
swing properly..
Her: Ok...

She swung properly then Maya turned back to

her series and watched, the house helper
walked over with a tray of food and put on the
table...

Maya: Thank you..

Her: There is a leakage in the second bathroom
sink.
Maya: Ok, I'll talk to Dr Bat
Her: Ee mma

She walked away then Maya dialled Pholo...

At the hospital...

Meanwhile Pholo smiled as his two colleagues

stood at the door..

Pholo: I don't understand

Itai: What's there to understand? Be at Williams
Hotel this evening at 7pm...we wanted to take
you out as your colleagues.. Just to say a
proper goodbye, you can come with your wife or
whoever you're always talking to on the phone,
it's just dinner
Pholo: Ok, I'll be there.

They walked out as his phone rang, he smiled at

the screen and sighed relaxing as he picked..

Pholo: Yes?
Maya: Hi...There is a leakage in the second
bathroom, call a plumber to fix it?
Pholo: Ng ng... Don't start with plumbers.. You
want to break my heart too?
Maya: (laughed) Sheh, Pholo I'm not your wife
Pholo: And i meant by bringing my kids STDs,
what did you think i was referring to?
Maya: (laughed) Whatever, fix it, e taa go
bolaisa water bill.
Pholo: I'll fix it after work, remind me please... I
get home exhausted so if you don't remind me i
will forget.
Maya: Ok.
Pholo: I'm going to meet Momo with our
lawyers, waitse nna Momo o ntsenya stress
Maya: What happened?
Pholo: She is just intentionally making this
divorce case drag, we are supposed to get half
of everything but now she wants my other car
when she sold hers to pay for Terry. She is
pissing me off,
Maya: She is going to keep doing that until you
just give her what she wants for the sake of
peace.
Pholo: Ng ng, not my car the banna... She
bought Terry a car, why not get that? No, Momo
treats me like a fool. The judge will decide, I'm
so over this divorce..
Maya: Don't stress yourself, akere you know
what happens to your dragon when you stress?

He laughed and shook his head...

Pholo: Stop eavesdropping on my

conversations
Maya: (laughed) I was just passing...
Pholo: (laughed) Bye

He hung up and looked at the time then he

packed up his things....

At Yaone's office

Later on Momo's lawyer pulled into the parking

lot with her on the passenger, the lawyer
switched off the car and jerked the handbrake
before facing her...

Him: Like I told you last time, you have every

right to your husbands money, but don't use
your emotions to discuss. If anything allow me
to take control. Yaone can be really rude if he
wants but i don't want him hurting you.
Momo: Ok..

They walked towards the building and into

Yaone's office, Momo locked eyes with Pholo
for the first in eight months...

Yaone: I cannot believe you've delayed the case

because you want my brother's package. This is
absurd considering we're here because of you
Lawyer: My clients deserves 50% of his
severance pay, overtime, sick pay, and
retirement package...Dr Bathusi is a highly paid
specialist doctor and we have a rough idea of
how much that is, the card my client is talking
about had roughly 200K which she did not use
because she is a good wife....none of those
things were listed on the properties, you're the
ones delaying the divorce. We need to agree on
something...

Pholo glared at her and shook his head...

Pholo: Can't you just leave me alone? I left you

our house, a house worth half a million, all i
took is the TV and its still not enough for you?
I'm not asking for your work benefits, why do
you want mine?
Momo: Had we met and talked alone we
wouldn't be here... We just have to meet and
talk.. The two of us can reach a conclusion.
Pholo: I'm planning to have children Momo, you
cannot take everything i have..
Momo: Can we talk in private? Kana your
problem is that you don't want to see me in
private..

Pholo rubbed his forehead and sighed..

Pholo: Ok, we can talk

Lawyer: Good, you'll let me know what you
decided
Yaone: Are you sure you want to do this? The
judge won't even rule in her favour because she
bought another man a car
Lawyer: You have no proof of that because she
didn't take her family money. As his wife she
deserves half of his packages... These people
are still married kana... I am a divorce lawyer so
believe me when I say legally she is entitled to
her share of his package, ke madi a lenyalo.
You're a business lawyer so it's not surprising
for you to confuse these two
Yaone: Don't question my abilities when you
never even win any cases-

Pholo: (sighed) Guys... Please...

He took a deep breath and sighed...

Pholo: I'll talk to her in private as she wants.

Lawyer: (stood) Update me later tonight
Momo: Ok... Let's go somewhere private
Yaone: I'll get out
Momo: I don't feel comfortable in your office
Pholo: It's ok...
He stood up and walked out as Momo walked
besides him. They got in his car and drove off...

Pholo: Where do you want to go?

Momo: To your house
Pholo: I can't do that, I'm staying with a
colleague to avoid stress
Momo: Ok, to my house then

Minutes later he parked the car, she released

the seat belt and noticed shopping plastic bags
on the back seat, through the other plastic she
could see what seemed like Johnson baby
products then she leaned in the back, Pholo
blocked her hands...
Pholo: They're for my colleague, please...let's
go...

They stepped out then he closed the door, she

unlocked the house as he stood behind, they
walked in and she locked the house and took
out the keys without him noticing anything.

He sat on the couch and sighed as she put the

bag on the table and took off her blazer..

Momo: I know that you're avoiding me because

i make you sick, I'm probably disgusting and
dirty...

Pholo looked in her eyes and looked away as

she slowly sat on his lap and reached for his
face,
Pholo: (blocked her hand) Don't do that..
Momo: Pholo do you really want to do this?
After keeping me in the dark for a whole year ka
condition ya gago... I cried myself to sleep

He took out his phone from the back pocket

and placed it on the table so her weight
wouldn't crack his screen..

Pholo: You know that's not why I'm leaving you,

i forgave you for that one... What excuse do you
have for buying Terry a car? You still slept with
him after i had forgiven you... We can't recover
from that... I don't want stress, I'm trying to
avoid stress.. Ema mogo nna, if you're sorry for
hurting me please don't touch my money... I
need it for something...
Momo: Give us 2 years to see if i won't change
then... I know you don't want to do this... I'm
ready to come clean about everything. I'll be
honest
Pholo: I don't want to traumatise myself with
details, i already know what you're doing with
Terry
Momo: I haven't seem Terry in over 9 months...

She leaned over and tried to kiss him, he looked

the other way but she pulled his chin back and
kissed him. He kissed her back and hugged her..

Pholo: Please don't take my money... You can

have our house and my other car then, i won't
fight you on that, but don't touch my packages
and savings, i have plans.
Momo: Plans like what? Maybe if its important i
won't ask for my share

He looked in her eyes considering the truth, and

maybe she wouldn't mind the kids but the
surrogate mother would piss her off and turn
his divorce into a battle..

Pholo: I want to do that surgery i mentioned...

Momo: Oh..

She nodded in agreement and got off him...

Momo: That's fair enough, I'm sorry... I won't get

anything then... Forget the car too. Do you have
enough for the surgery though?
Pholo: Yeah, it will be enough if you don't
demand your share.
Momo: Don't worry about it... I totally
understand.. I'm happy for you. At least your
condition can be fixed. Mine can't, apparently i
have poor eggs... I guess this explains why we
haven't had a child even when you were fine..
Pholo: I'm sorry...
Momo: It's ok... I deserve it, its my karma for
destroying my family. If we were to fix things
we'd find an egg doner and perform an IVF. It
would mean so much to at least carry our
children... Then with your surgery we will be
perfect..
Pholo: Thanks for not getting the money. It
means a lot, let me go home.. I have to take my
pills...

His phone rang, she turned and noticed "Maya

calling" and it was definitely her picture on the
screen, Pholo reached for it but she grabbed it.
Momo: Why is she calling you? Why are you two
calling each other?
Pholo: Bring my phone..

She ran to the bedroom as he chased her then

she slammed the door and locked it while she
picked the call.

Momo: Hello? He told me everything you

desperate lying ho..

Meanwhile Pholo banged on the door, he

stepped back and kicked the door weakening
the lock until it broke with the door hitting her
throwing her on the bed, he jumped on her and
grabbed the phone while they were talking, he
pinned her down and hung up.
Momo: (tearfully) Are you sleeping with my
friend? Now i want my money, all of it
Pholo: I don't care, do whatever you want. I'll
still have my salary and it will be enough to
support myself and my children.
Momo: What do you mean children?

He walked out and headed to the door but it

was locked, he grabbed her handbag and took
out the keys, Momo stood at the kitchen door
with a knife and pointed it to her stomach.

Momo: If you open that door I'm pushing this

knife into my stomach, you would be the last
person to have been with me, a lot of motives
too.
He paused looking at her as she held the knife.

At Momo's House...

Pholo: This is the kind of drama i have been

avoiding throughout all these months ha o bona
nne kesa go bate... I know how dramatic you
can be.. You never take responsibility for your
actions and you will never take me serious
because I shield you too much. Go on, stab
yourself and scrap away any little chance you
have of ever being a mother. Stab yourself in
the stomach...

She slowly put down the knife as he walked

back and put his phone in the pocket...

Pholo: Do it so evidence can acquit me..For the

first time in your life take responsibility,
apologise from the bottom of your heart if
you're ready and walk away with dignity... You're
not the woman you're trying to be right now...
You're allowing stress to use you and you're
going to make mistakes if you do that... None
of us was ready for diabetes when we got
married... You didn't know one day the dick that
used to give you pleasure will bring nothing...
That's why I don't blame you for going after
Terry... He is giving you what i can't... The only
problem is making it difficult for me to move
on... I can't watch you sleep with another man
even if I can't please you in bed.. Its painful..

Momo rubbed the tears filling his eyes and

placed the knife on the kitchen counter. Pholo
walked over and stood in front of her and held
her hands looking in her eyes....

Pholo: I know you're scared of losing me, i can

see it, I'm scared of losing you too but I'm way
past the stage of thinking we can fix this
marriage. It's dead and gone, Let's not fight...
OK? We are better than that... You're better than
that.... You're not a bad person and I don't hate
you.. You weren't treated fairly either.. The first
time I found out I couldn't get it up i was so
afraid of losing you i kept it to myself... That
wasn't fair... Overworking to avoid you... That
wasn't fair... I'm not a bigger victim than you're...
I know that very well, i know my mistakes...
Missing our dates, missing your calls, being
unavailable emotionally, not doing my home
chores, not eating your meals after you've spent
hours trying to impress me... Then i came home
tired and just collapsed on the bed...

Momo's lips trembled as he squeezed her

hands...

Momo: Pholo are you leaving me for Maya?

Pholo: What makes you think that?
Momo: Because you called her the other time,
and now she is calling you again... Please tell
me the truth
Pholo: Like you've ever told me the truth, what
are we doing? Mmh? What's this? The sooner
we divorce the better...
Momo: I won't deny that i panicked when I
found out we will never have sex again, i
thought of the worst idea which is cheating, i
am ashamed because even after getting
caught... I still felt like I'd need Terry to help me
sexually. I did everything i could to keep him
around so he could help me stay married..I
stole the company money and bought him a car
because he kept pestering me about being used.
I know there is this belief about women and sex
but it was just sex..now i see that it's not worth
it. I am so scared right now because my family
is falling apart... I didn't think you'd actually
leave me, the way ke bakileng ka teng I'd never
hurt you, but the way i see it someone is taking
advantage of you and our issues. Maya is
unbelievable..But above all I understand how
you feel because the way my heart is breaking
at the thought of you and Maya... I can't imagine
the pain I caused you the first time I cheated...
And even now...
Pholo: I haven't slept with Maya... But I've
developed feelings for her, i haven't told her
because i don't want her to feel pressured
especially by her financial situation... I know
situations like that can make a woman get into
a relationship she didn't plan... I don't want to
do that to Maya... Especially because she has a
child, and i wouldn't want to confuse Amber.

A cold chill ran down her spine as he let go of

her and sat down, she sighed and sat down
looking at him...

Momo: Sounds like you really care... (sighed

shaking) I'm so finished... She probably told you
every little secret of mine and all my silly
comments...
She laughed out loud as tears rolled down her
cheeks, she rubbed her tears and laughed...

Momo: So you two chat? Have you been seeing

each other?
Pholo: We do talk, but it's about a project she is
helping me with.

His phone rang again and he took it out, this

time it was the house helper. It was weird, she
never called him.

Pholo:. Excuse me... (picked) Hello?

Helper: Please hurry home, madam is in labour...
Pholo: Did you call the midwife?
Helper: Madam called her.
Pholo: Ok, I'm on my way.
He hung up and turned looking at her...

Pholo: I have to go...

Momo: What's going on?
Pholo: Promise me you won't ruin this moment
for me
Momo: I've no power left in me... I'm numb..
Pholo: Maya is pregnant, and she is in labour...
We planned a home birth with the midwife so i
have to be there in case there is an emergency...

Momo's eyes swirled and she fell down

collapsing, he shook her and checked her pulse
but then his kids! He picked her up and carried
her to the car then he closed the door and drove
off...
At Pholo's House...

Minutes later Pholo drove through the gate and

parked next to the midwife's car, he left Momo
laying on the front seat and closed the door
then he hurried in the house...

He walked in spare room with the pool and

stopped looking at Maya sitting inside groaning
as the midwife put the mirror in the water...

Midwife: I can see the head... Keep breathing...

Pholo walked over and squatted on the other

side of pool holding her hand...
Pholo: Hi, I'm here...

A sharp pain struck her as her bones pulled

apart, the vein on her forehead erected as she
screamed on her knees with her waist down in
water, the first baby slid out into the water as
she picked her up and put her on her chest
crying.

The midwife cut the cord and wrapped her up

then he placed her on the bed and cleaned her
up as her little cry took over the whole room..

Meanwhile outside the room, Momo

approached the door and stuck her head inside
watching as Pholo sat on the bed holding his
baby while Maya pushed again with the midwife
helping her...

At Pholo's House...

Maya screamed holding the edge of the pool

and the baby's head popped, the midwife held
the baby's head under water as Maya pushed
again and the baby slid out. Maya's eyes met
Momo's face at the door and her heart skipped...

Pholo smiled holding his daughter and met

Momo's eyes as he turned around, she closed
the door and left. Pholo turned back to his baby
girl as the midwife brought the baby boy...

The midwife took out the after birth and laid her
on the bed checking between her legs while
Pholo sat on the other side of the bed holding
the baby...

Maya turned her head looking at him smiling

and admiring his babies, it wasn't just his
fascination, but the way he was comfortable
around a woman giving birth like he wasn't an
African man, now that she saw this having a
man in the medical section is probably better...
A doctor to be specific, imagine if all these was
hers... That ring on his finger, the babies and
this house... Why Momo rejected all these she'd
never understand... After spending so much
time with this man this was the end... She
watched him push his glasses with his middle
finger and smile at his baby....

Maya: Did i see Momo at the door?

Pholo: Yes...

Midwife: (checking her vjay) You didn't tear

badly, you won't need a lot of stitches if any. I'm
preparing you for the hospital ok?
Maya: (to her) Ee mma (to him) I didn't want her
to know I'm your surrogate, you breached our
contract..
Pholo: (touched the baby's fingers) The
contract said you couldn't disclose it to anyone,
you... Not me... She deserved to know, i didn't
want her to know the first time cause i couldn't
predict what she would do, but with the flow of
our conversation i felt comfortable...
Maya: Pholo you're missing the point... (tearfully)
I didn't want her to know i of all people did you
this favour.
Pholo: Momo is fine, she knows what friends
are capable of my friends did me dirty with her,
at least we didn't do anything..
Maya: So you killed 2 birds with one stone? You
used me and it's not fair, you shouldn't have
told her without telling mw first
Pholo: You have a point but i didn't think you'd
mind if she knows or not.

Midwife: May i prepare the kids for the hospital?

I need their clothes...

Still laying on her back, Maya watched the

midwife dressing the children...she knew they
weren't hers but she still wanted to hold them
and feed them, her breasts were so full...

Midwife: They're need to be fed, make their

formula

Pholo looked at her confused, he remembered

buying all that but he didn't know a single thing
about a baby...

Maya: I forgot to teach him how to care for a

newborn, gaa itse sepe ka ngwana motho yo.
Where is the nanny?
Pholo: She is on her way, she expected to come
around the due date so she wasn't prepared.
Midwife: Don't you have a sister?
Pholo : No, but I'll call someone...
He walked out and dialled his grandmother as
Maya got dressed and walked limped to the car.

At the grandmother....

Meanwhile the grandmother stepped on the

sewing machine paddle sewing then her phone
rang...

Grandmother: Hello?
Pholo: Mme?
Her: Rra?
Pholo: My babies have just been delivered, the
ones I told you about a while back
Her: (heart skipped) Bathusi a ntsetse! Were
you serious that you made yourself babies in
the lab?
Pholo: (laughed) Don't put it like that, Can you
come help me? I hired a nanny but they're so
fragile I'm afraid to let a stranger care for them
so early.
Her: Are they real babies?
Pholo: Yes, can i tell Ya to pick you? We are
going to the hospital now.
Her: Gakea tshoga! Ibile ke a huhula
Pholo: Should i?
Her: So the woman you rented left?
Pholo: We are going to part at the hospital, she
isn't supposed to spend time with the children.
Her: I never believed that being too intelligent is
not good until today... Tell your brother to pick
me.
Pholo: Bye
She hung up and dialled another elder...

Her: hello?
Gran: Ose dirile ngwana waga Bathusi, he made
his own babies in a glass, he even made them
twins. I told my daughter that this boy is too
clever for his own good
Her: What? How is that possible?
Gran: That girl broke my grandson to the extent
of him creating his own babies in a lab. I have
to go, ne kere ke le bolelele lole batsadi le seka
la utwa ke beile botsetsi bo sena motsetse la
ipotsa dipotso, the babies were made in a lab.
The way I'm afraid Pholo will make another me
or even wake his own mother.. I have to go.

She hung up and quickly packed...

At the hospital...

Later on the nurse injected Maya and walked

out, her phone received a message and she
clicked on it, it was her payment, she put down
the phone and laid down trying to forget those
precious babies... She so badly wanted to hold
them and kiss them or even just stare at them,
the emptiness was unbearable. She
remembered Momo and dialled her but her
phone couldn't go through... She typed a
message..

Maya: Hi, i know you're angry but I can explain

everything. Please unblock my calls

She sent the message but it bounced....

Meanwhile in the other room Pholo smiled
looking at the baby, his grandmother walked in...
He smiled and folded his arms looking at her as
she carefully examined the children probably
expecting them to be abnormal given their
circumstances.. The nurse walked in and took
information...

Nurse: I wanted to get their details, but i can

come back later
Pholo: It's ok
Nurse: What are their names... Twin 1 is?
Pholo: They're, Peo and Yame.

His grandmother turned looking at him as he

answered the questions umbothered.
Nurse: And the mother?

His face dropped, he took a deep breath and

sighed...

Pholo: I'm the only parent... Leave that part

empty..

At Terry's House

Meanwhile Terry opened the door shirtless,

Momo walked in holding her tears and hugged
him crying, he held her and dropped his head
kissing her neck as she burst into tears...

Terry: Shhh.. Ke mang ago ledisang keye go

mmetsa? Mmh... {Tell me who made you cry
and I'll solve them}.

He rubbed her tears and kissed her forehead.

At the hospital...

Later that evening Pholo pushed Maya's door

and walked in while she was asleep. He
approached her bed staring at her face, she had
the cutest lips ever and just watching her
knowing she is the woman who delivered his
babies struck something in him he couldn't
explain, knowing this was their last time
together felt more difficult than he thought it
would be, this was his friend, the woman he
hurried home to and her smile whenever she
saw him was unbelievable, it felt so good to
know he stirred such feelings from a female
even in his condition, part of him always
thought it was just customer service, we will
see if the sight would still be the same,
especially when she felt betrayed because he
told Momo... He sat and touched her hand.. She
opened her eyes and yawned then he smiled
admiringly...there we go,

Pholo: Hey, how are you feeling?

Maya: Sore down there...
Pholo: I'm sorry
Maya: It's ok...i feel empty... Its a horrible
feeling..

He stood up and sat on the bed and touched

her chin...

Pholo: I know how you feel because i feel like

I'm losing a part of me too... My house is going
to be lonely without you. There are things i
didn't share with you because i didn't want to
take advantage of you or make you think if you
don't comply i won't pay you... There are things i
wanted to do to you so bad but because you
were under my contract I didn't want you feeling
forced....

Her heart pounded as she looked at him.... Her

friend's husband...she wasn't sure if she
understood what this man just indirectly said
but it felt so good it filled her heart with so
much joy. He pressed the bed adjusting it so
her upper body can face him while she still laid
there.. He touched her hand playing with her
fingers and seeing the ring on his finger hit kind
of felt weird...

Pholo: (looked in her eyes) Ke kopa go go suna...

{can i kiss you?}

Her heart skipped and she looked away as her

heart pounded... This was her friend's hubby...

Pholo: Maya... Leba kwano

She turned her head and looked at him..

Pholo: (softly) Ke a go suna a utwa?
Maya: Ok..

He leaned over closing his eyes as she closed

her eyes, their lips met and he kissed her
starting of softly, he tilted his head and kissed
her this time with more power, God his breath
smelled so good... He took her hand and placed
it over his meat, she paused kissing him and
felt all that meat, he unbuttoned and pulled
down his zip while kissing her then he put her
hand inside...my God, what a man... She always
thought Momo meant soft soft, like really soft
but this wasn't bad at all... It was enough to go
in unassisted. The door opened and he leaned
back licking his lips as chef stopped and pulled
her trolley backwards...
Nurse: Sorry Dr Bat.. Come in..

He pulled down his Tshirt as the chef put

Maya's food on the table...

Chef: I brought your food...

Maya: Thank you..

She walked out and closed the door, Pholo

stood up feeling uncomfortable as his dick took
up more space inside, he lined it correctly and
zipped his pants looking at her..

Pholo: Sorry, i know you're exhausted and doing

this is the last thing you want to do.
Maya: That's true... How are the children?
Pholo: They're fine, my grandmother will be
spending the next 2 days in the hospital with
them. Newborns get discharged after 2 days...
Maya: What about me?
Pholo: Tomorrow you'll be out after all the blood
tests... (smiled) Before ke suna ne kere ke go
raya kere thank you for not drinking the entire
time you were carrying my kids, you sacrificed
sex and everything nice just to give me healthy
babies...
Maya: You're welcome, I'm glad you're happy...
Pholo: And you were wrong about me killing two
birds with one stone.. I'm not really a revengeful
person because the problem with revenge is
that it usually ends badly for both parties. I
chose you because i know you and I was sure
you'd never run away with my babies, the
problem with surrogacy in Botswana is that it's
not regulated. So had you ran away with my
babies before they were born nobody would
even say you broke the law because there are
no laws against or for surrogacy. I needed
someone i can trust...
Maya: Oh, i understand... It's fine i understand.
Did you tell her I'm just a surrogate?
Pholo: No, just told her you're pregnant with my
children.
Maya: Don't you think you should have been
specific?
Pholo: She didn't give me a chance, she
collapsed right away... Anyways I have to go, I'll
check on you later ok
Maya: Ok.
Pholo: Do you know why I kissed you?
Maya: No
Pholo: (smiled) We will talk after my divorce is
final
Maya: Don't start the rra, there is nothing to talk
about. From here we have to live like nothing
happened
Pholo: Re taa kgona wena gao bona? Because I
won't forget certain things..
Maya: You have to try..
Pholo: This is why i didn't want to discuss it
with you now...

He leaned over and kissed her forehead before

walking out.

Pholo: Eat and get some sleep..

Maya: Ok...

He walked out...

At Terry's House....
The next morning Terry and Momo laid asleep
in each others arms as his phone blinked
ringing over and over on a silent mode...

There was a knock on the door but they couldn't

hear anything as the pleasure and its aftermath
ran through their veins...

Momo's eyeballs moved inside her eyes as the

felt the door opening and footsteps
approaching, but she was way too deep to
differentiate between reality and a dream, Terry
also slightly moved his head almost disturbed
out of his sleep, but he put his arm around
Momo and carried on snoring on her neck as
they both laid naked with the air con blowing
them...
Something thick covered them both as they
gasped and jumped, Momo sat up as white
paint dripped down her head. She rubbed her
face and looked at the unfamiliar pregnant
woman as Terry jumped into his boxer briefs
with paint dripping, she hit him with the bucket
and he blocked it as it landed on Momo.

Terry: Tumi? It's not what you think

Tumi: (tearfully) Really? (to Momo) Who are you?
Terry: (held her hand) Babe listen... Listen... You
can't be lifting buckets of paint when you're
pregnant,. You'll hurt our baby
Tumi: Who is this woman Terry?! (to her) Mma
who are you? I should post you on Facebook,
they will tell me who you're

She took out her phone as Terry blocked her

way and grabbed her hand. Momo tried to rub
the paint off her face but it was too thick...

Terry: Babe please.. Don't do this.. (Angrily

turned to Momo) Lwena the mma tsamaya!
Kana I'm trying to distract motho gore o tsamae.
Do you want her to get a video of you?

Momo got off the bed and wrapped herself with

a towel then she picked her things and ran out
while Terry blocked the pregnant woman. She
stepped out of the house and walked to the car
until she remembered she doesn't have a car.

At Momo's House...
Later that morning Pholo parked the car and
stepped out talking to the phone...

Pholo: Yeah, but I took 3 days off so the babies

can settle in.
Yaone: Ok, I'll try to reschedule my
appointments as well so we can set up
everything. Have you talked to Itai?
Pholo: No
Yaone: I don't understand why you only talk to
him when it's convenient to you.
Pholo: That's the kind of relationship i want le
majita, because if you bring them too close they
salivate over your woman. Itai is cool and he
understands where our friendship starts and
end, if i feel like I'm about to commit suicide yes
I'll go to his house cause i know he has my back,
he knows I'll be there for him too... I no longer
want a friendship where we hang together to
the extent ya gore o twaela girlfriend yame,
nobody is going to hang with my next girl
Yaone: This other guy i work with sent Renei's a
friend request on Facebook. And this guy nna le
ene we are not close, he is not my friend on
Facebook but has the audacity to request her,
lucky enough Renei saw that he also works
where i work and asked me who he is, i get you...
But Itai is different. Not every person is like that.
Pholo: Uh, every mistake i made in the past will
never repeat. Bona, I'll talk to you. I'm at our
house I'm here to collect my lawnmower and
toolboxes.
Yaone: Ok, I'll pass by the hospital and wrap up
your contract with Maya.
Pholo: Alright.
He hung up knocked on the door several times,
there was no one so he went back to the car
and got his set of keys and unlocked, he headed
to the store room and picked his dusty toolbox
then he carried it to the car, he opened the boot
as a taxi drove through the gate. He put his box
inside and dusted his hands as Momo stepped
out covered in white paint...

He frowned and met her half way before looking

at the taxi driving off...

Pholo: What happened?

Momo: A bucket of paint fell on me, our office
is being renovated...I'm on leave but I needed
some documents.

He followed her inside and got in the bathroom

while she closed herself in the bedroom, he
filled the tub and looked for leftover turpentine
then he went to her room..

Pholo: Come get in the water before it dries any

further... Paint is difficult to get off... Get the
glycerin...

She walked in the bathroom as he stood by the

tub holding turpentine and a wash rag, she took
off her clothes and he held her hand as she got
in the tub and sat down...

Pholo: Apply glycerin first before we try to get

rid of the paint..

Pholo got on his knees and scrubbed her arm

as she sat in the water scrubbing her thighs and
washing her face..

Pholo: Were you embarrassed?

Momo: Yeah..
Pholo: I can imagine...sorry a utwa
Momo: Mh
Pholo: (laughed) I'll tell you who you look like
once the paint is off...

Momo smiled looking at him and he laughed as

she laughed and carried on scrubbing herself...

Momo: (laughed) You enjoy hurting me don't

you
Pholo: Embarrassing things always happen to
me so when it happens to you once in a blue
moon i have to let it sink... Nkare o casper the
ghost

They laughed as she looked at him making

more progress with turpentine than she was
with water... There was silence as she looked at
him cleaning her up, one thing about Pholo...
Never holds a grudge... No matter what
treatment he got it didn't change how he treated
another person... Was she even ready to lose
that? The kind of man that would still be nice in
the middle of a fight and through a divorce
case...

Momo: Can i tell you the truth?

Pholo: Sure
Momo: I left your house and went to Terry's
house to try forgetting you and Maya having
children, his pregnant girlfriend found us and
did this...
Pholo: What did he say about it?
Momo: He just asked me to leave and i called a
taxi..
Pholo: Ok, i appreciate you telling me the truth...
Letimone la maaka ne lego tsere ka
stsokotsane because I totally believed you... I
appreciate that you told the truth unprovoked...
Did you use protection?
Momo: No...
Pholo: I keep telling you ka unprotected sex o
bata serious diseases akere? This time I'm not
talking as a jealous husband I'm telling you
from a point of view ya doctor, Terry seems like
a guy who never uses protection. Some STDs
don't show symptoms early and you'll carry
them until they have damaged your entire
reproductive system. STDs are the reason most
people can't have children , ithomele.
Momo: I didn't know about the girlfriend
Pholo: Please take care of your health... And
why are you using a taxi when you bought him a
car?
Momo: I think he borrowed her the car because
when I arrived only the company car was there,
then i saw it after the girlfriend arrived.
Pholo: Nna kana nne ke go rata... I made you a
wife because that's how much I love you but to
him o side chick... Dilo tse dingwe di utusa
bothoko, he could have at least valued you...
Momo: I'm done with him
Pholo: You love Terry, you'll always go back to
him.
Momo: I'm going to be single.. So you and Maya
have been together for how long?
Pholo: I'm not seeing her, she is my surrogate. I
got eggs through a fertility clinic and they were
fertilised with mine in the lab, the embryos were
put in Maya, her blood didn't even mix with my
children... They're not her children biologically. I
paid her 200K for the whole process.

Momo looked at him speechless...

Momo: And i cheated for the 3rd time based on

assumptions...
Pholo: Before you roll the red carpet and
applaud me I'm not that innocent.... I kissed her
for the first time last night... I have feelings for
her. I just didn't want to mix business with
pleasure that's why I'm not with her.
Momo: What did she say?
Pholo: She doesn't want to do this because she
feels bad.
Momo: What are their names?
Pholo: Peo and Yame
Momo: Do you and the egg doner know each
other?
Pholo: No, the fertility clinic sold me the eggs..
Momo: How much is each egg?
Pholo: 15K but they buy them 5K from young
women.
Momo: Had i not messed up i would have
carried them and people would never know our
little secret
Pholo: It would have been perfect...
Momo: So in the birth certificate who is the
mother?
Pholo: They legally don't have a mother.
Momo: Can i be their mother? Even if you
divorce me I'll still coparent
Pholo: You're not reliable, i can't risk you
walking away from my children and breaking
their hearts. You're loving and you'd never
abuse them but every now and then you lose
your mind especially ha o jola... Gape i want
distance between us, its not like I'm over you. I
still love you and hearing about Terry and
knowing you still fuck fills me with jealousy. I
want a new life... My original plan was to be a
single father, staying with Maya brought up
feelings but I'm still hesitant to try another
relationship because I'm afraid to get hurt or
disrespected. Guys like me who don't beat or
cheat are considered stupid and that's my fear
tota, being fooled twice.
Momo: I understand you... Mme gone i get why
you don't want me to get your savings cause
you have kids..
Pholo: I paid Maya with all of it.
Momo: Ok, since you have children how about
we sell our house and split the money? As for
your benefits at work I'll leave them for the
twins. They're going to cost you plus paying the
full time nanny.
Pholo: Ok, thank you... Why are you using taxis?
Why not just buy a car.
Momo: I'm saving for a car I'll buy in December,
getting a loan requires your signature since we
are still legally married.
Pholo: I'll borrow you my small car, I'll get it
when you buy a car.
Momo: Thank you...

Pholo moved to her back and cleaned her up..

Pholo: The hair is too much...

Momo: It's a wig so I'm just going to remove it
with the glue remover then go install another
one.
Pholo: Ok, at least...
Momo: Bring me the glue remover

He brought the glue remover and she managed

to remove the wig, he spread the towel for her
and she wrapped herself up and looked at
herself on the mirror. She smiled relieved as
Pholo stood behind her...

She turned around and hugged him, he stepped

back and held her hand leading her out...

Pholo: Come...

Once in the bedroom she sat on the bed while

he stood at the door looking at her, It was
embarrassing that after everything it still hurt
that he took her away just to play her and toss
her aside when she meant everything to him...
His children would have a good mother..

Momo: My problem is always running to Terry

so i don't look stupid or desperate, but I always
look two times more than that.. I feel like I've
lost direction of my life... I no longer know what
i want or what's important especially after
losing you.

Pholo: I don't know you anymore either, the first

mistake wasn't bad... But you keep going back
to the same guy so wamo rata and you should
explore your feelings to avoid hurting other
people. Anyways I have to go prepare the house
for the kids, they will be home soon.
Momo: Ok... Bye
Pholo: I'm getting my toolboxes
Momo: Ok
He got his things in the store room and drove
off...

Momo laid down and sighed thoughtfully, then

her phone interrupted her thoughts..

Momo: Hello?
Maya: It's Maya, why did you block me?
Momo: Because i don't need snakes in my life
Maya: Ok, i just wanted to tell you that i agreed
to be his surrogate for money, nothing else.
Momo: Did you also kiss him for money? Pholo
gaa itse go aka le go baya sephiri. He told me
everything and how he feels about you. After
our divorce he might or might not come to you, i
don't care what he does because he will be a
single man but wena the so called friend who
used to tell me you're not that kind of friend?
Legale
Maya: I told Pholo we can't be together.
Momo: Whatever, bye

She hung up and sighed... Her phone rang again

and she rolled her eyes..

Momo: Hello?
Colleague: hey, did you see what they posted on
Facebook? They even tagged Mr Friday and the
business pages.
Momo: what are you talking about?
Her: I'll tag you.

She hung up and clicked on facebook.

At the Maun business annual conference...

Meanwhile Mr Friday, his sons and two teenage

grandsons walked out of the conference in their
suits as other men together with their sons
walked out... His took out his phone from the
inside pocket of his suit and clicked on it to dial
his wife, but he noticed a lot of notifications and
clicked on facebook. It was a picture of Momo
and Terry laying naked on the bed with her ring
showing.

" How do i deal with this, a grown woman who

is married by the way is breaking my family. I
am six months pregnant but i can't enjoy my
family because this woman is on my bed,
please help me tell this woman that my child
needs her family. I don't know why she doesn't
have children at her age but please leave me
alone. Shame on you for sleeping out wearing a
ring, you're married! She is an accountant at
Gape Friday Investments, she even steals
company money and buys my boyfriend things.
Sfeb sa ko Gape Friday Investments, i wonder
how stupid her bosses are because she is
always in my boyfriends place, o bereka leng? I
thought they said accountants are
hardworkers."

He read the post and clenched his jaws

showing his son the post...

At Momo's House...

Momo's heart pounded as her hands shook, she

paced up and down trying to think... The
embarrassment she'd face at work, her bosses
knowing she was that type of a woman after
being given so much respect....Pholo's family,
after all none of them knew about the divorce
and when they find out they would make sure
more people knew... Her cousin called, the
cousin that never even talked to her... Wow...

She clicked on facebook and read the

comments, some of her class mates
commented, even those who bullied her as a
child joined in...

At the hospital...
Meanwhile Maya slowly walked towards the
bed and gently laid down, her breasts were full,
so full she could see the veins on her chest and
she could hear the twins crying for the first
time... If she could only hold each one of them..
She picked her phone and her eyes popped as
she stared at the trending posts... Momo laying
peacefully in Terry's arms both of them naked.
She dialled Pholo...

At Pholo's House...

Meanwhile Pholo finished getting the children's

cots ready then he grabbed the air con remote
and set the home temperature, he stepped back
and smiled looking at their cots sitting next to
one another, the other lime and the other beige,
he remembered their sticker names then he
peeled them and pasted on Peo's corner...
Yame followed then he zipped the mosquito
nets on each cot before taking a picture...

He walked out and closed the door then he

headed to the sitting room smiling at the
pictures while the nanny and the maid talked in
the kitchen... His phone rang then he picked..

Pholo: Hello
Maya: There are pictures of Momo and Terry
trending, i hope you're doing well
Pholo: I'm fine, she told me before they slept
together and got caught.
Maya: Oh ok, thought maybe you're having a
nervous breakdown
Pholo: Thanks, I'm good
Maya: Can i go hold the kids? Please
Pholo: I know your hormones want the kids but
you can't... Be brave, you'll hold them after a
couple of months.
Maya: Ok, the doctor says I'm fine so tomorrow
I'll be good home.
Pholo: Alright, bye

He hung up and logged in Facebook,

notifications of friends tagging him on the
posts loaded, but he ignored them... Knowing
his mind seeing that picture would probably
damage his mind body and soul... The lesser
the details the quicker the healing process, he
changed his cover picture showing a picture of
baby feet held by his hand with a caption,
"PeoYame"... Now this is the purpose and
happiness he so needed... He video called his
grandmother and leaned back hoping she'd
remember where to press.. She did and all
Pholo could see was his gran's nostrils with
white inside and her forehead, he cracked
laughing out loud...

Pholo: The mma take that camera off your nose,

stretch your hand and move it back so you can
look beautiful... (she did) Uh, good girl...
Gran: This phone is very hard.. You know the
last time i read was a long time ago
Pholo: Can i see my seeds... Turn the phone...

She turned the phone and he smiled looking at

each of them sleeping peacefully....

At Momo's House...

Meanwhile Momo sat on the bed and sent a

message to Terry...

Momo: Please tell your girlfriend to stop, she

will get me fired. Mr Friday hates social media
saggas and they're a reputable company.
Please, i already have one warning.

She waited for his reply but he just read the

message and ignored. She dialled him...

At Terry's House...

Tumi folded her arms breathing heavily looking

at him..

Tumi: Answer it!

Terry: You have to delete that post... I'm
serious... You're not hurting her you're hurting
yourself... I'm sorry for cheating on you. I was
wrong... She didn't know anything about you... I
told you when I met you that i want a family, a
wife and children... Now this isn't how i pictured
my wife... If we have problems we talk without
fighting... The best way to practice controlling
your anger is now before Junior is born... You've
poured paint on me, you've slapped me, you
took everything, I'm doing my best to show you
that I'm deeply sorry... I'd never destroy my
family for a married woman... Please delete that
post babe... For us... I don't want your parents
thinking I'm a man whore, how are they going to
accept magadi happily? Please delete... Please

Tumi clicked on her phone and deleted the post,

he stood up and hugged her as she broke down
crying...

At Gape Friday Investments..

Maya parked the car and leaned back looking at

herself on the mirror, she fixed her nude lipstick
and gently pressed her eyelash on her eyelid,
she sprayed perfume on herself and stepped
out then she walked towards the building...
The last time she was here she was an
employee and now she walking in with just an
ambition... She could feel her body had not fully
recovered from child birth two back and her
breasts were still swollen but at least she was
no longer curious about the babies, it wasn't
easy but now she felt herself going back to her
reality...

She walked in the reception and smiled..

Maya: Hi... I'm here to meet Mr Friday

Reception: They're still in the conference room...
You can wait for a few, they should be done by
now.
Maya: Thanks
Reception: Did you see your friend trending in
bed with another man?
Maya: That baby mama is crazy...

She walked back to the couch and waited...

In the conference room...

Meanwhile Mokgabo's heart pounded as she

faced her bosses..

Mr Friday jr : (closed his file) In a nutshell...An

employer has the right not to suffer a loss of
reputation, by an employee's actions, and so
anything an employee posts or get tagged in on
Social Media, which negatively impacts the
employer's reputation, could result in a
disciplinary action leading to dismissal... Now,
we've been down this road with you not so long
ago...you were misusing the company funds
and abusing your powers as our accountant.
We are not ready to face any further damage to
our reputation. To avoid being let go you're
advised to hand in your immediate notice of
resignation within the next 24 hours. Your
package has been calculated and is ready for
collection. That will be all, would you like to say
anything?

After working for Mr Friday for so long it was no

surprise, it hurt but the minute she saw that
post she knew it would end here...

Momo: Thank you for trusting me with your

company for so long, I've worked for 3 of your
companies and i had no complaints, the salary
was good... The employer is one of the best in
Maun with bonus salaries for good employees,
vacations for those who get married, the list is
endless. I'll probably never meet such a good
employer. I hope one day when I've ran out of
options you'll consider me because I've just
learnt how a decision made personally can
affect my job. Once again i apologise for my
misconduct. I will submit my resignation letter
before 1pm and gather my belongings and hand
in my office keys.

There was silence for a while, the Friday sons

and daughters looked at one another guilt
stricken, the daughter sighed and leaned
forward to speak but the oldest Friday son
wiggled his finger keeping her from speaking.
Mr Friday himself just sat in the back watching
them run the company..

Friday Jr: (to Momo) Thank you, have a good

day.
Momo stood up and walked to the back where
Mr Friday was sitting, she respectfully shook his
hand and smiled.

Momo: Go siame sir

Friday: Young Friday will write you that letter of
recommendation.
Momo: Thank you, I have a court case with my
husband this morning so I'll be going to court
now but I'll submit my letter before 1pm. Have a
good day everyone, (smiled) It was nice working
with you, I'm going to miss this place.

She turned around and walked out as she

flashed them with a smile walking past them
heading to the door...
She walked in the reception and noticed Maya
sitting, she just looked at her and passed to her
office where she got her bag and walked right
out looking at her watch...

In court...

Later that morning Mokgabo parked the car and

stepped out as her phone rang, she looked at
her mother's call and picked..

Momo: Hello?
Her: We are here to support where are you?
Momo: I'm outside..
Her: Ok my girl.

She hung up and walked towards the court, at

this point she just wanted to get everything
done with and live her best life... She was
clearly not meant to be a wife or mother..

Her mother and sister smiled as she

approached them, they hugged and she smiled
fixing her mothers hair..

Momo: You look nice

Her: How are you?
Momo: I'm fine
Sister: How did the disciplinary hearing go?
Momo: (smiled) I got fired
Sister: What?
Mother: Why are you smiling?
Momo: (laughed) Because whether i smile or
cry it won't change the fact that i lost my job,
gape I'll find another one, if not I'll do something
that generates money.. My package is huge and
i went school... An accountant can very survive
without a job, there are so many small
companies who can't afford to hire us but they
still pay us to do their books and file for their
tax returns. Ke taa surviver gape agona thogo e
senang matho. I'm just not going to stop
bathing or sink into depression to show that I'm
sorry for what happened. I'm not the first
person to make a mistake ibile people have
done worse... I refuse to walk with my tail
between my legs, if anything i will walk tall with
my chin high because i know I'll survive...

Her mother and sister stared at her

speechless...the court doors opened and
everyone walked in as her lawyer hurried over
and whispered in her ear.
Meanwhile Pholo walked in with his lawyer and
the court begun....

Pholo took a deep breath and sighed looking at

Momo, after so many years of nothing but love...
Well not until 2 years ago, still this wasn't what
he pictured...

Momo felt emotions coming up as the judge

spoke, of course this wasn't the plan... The plan
was to have it both ways, a loving sweet
husband and a quick snack on the side but then
if this was the price then so be it..

Judge: The decree nise has been granted, if

after six weeks you still haven't cancelled the
divorce you're free to collect your decree
absolute, with this you'll be free to marry or
show your status where required. Next case!
Momo and Pholo looked at one another, that
was it... It ended, just like that... Momo slowly
slid out her wedding ring and sighed...

Minutes later they walked out of court heading

to the car parking as her mother and sister
accompanied her..

Pholo and his brother together with Itai stood

by the car as Pholo got in the car and sipped
water, he looked at his brother with a long face..

Yaone: Take off your ring...

He took it off and handed it to Yaone..

Itai: Are you OK?
Pholo: Just a little stressed out, but I'll bounce
back. Divorce ya nyapa and i expected ir to sink
on the final day...
Yaone: The final day is always emotional, but
you'll be fine.

Meanwhile in Momo's car, she reached in the

cooler box at the back... Her mother
approached then she covered it.

Her: Please come sleepover today

Momo: From here I'm going to Chanoga, I'll see
you people when I get back...
Sister: What are you going to do there?
Momo: There is a party there, I am going to
have fun as a single woman with no child.... I'm
going to have fun the whole of this week, I'll
start finding a job next week...
Mother: Go with your sister so she can watch
you.
Momo: But gaa ntwaela,
Sister: I understand we grew separately but i
still want to know you, i don't know why you feel
gran was your only family.
Momo: Ok, nna mme o itse gore ke a go nwa,
don't come with me if you're going to judge me.
Sister: I won't judge you...
Momo: Ok, go get ready. 6pm ke gata lehura...
Sister: Bye

She started the car and drove out reaching

behind her in the cooler then she popped the lid
and took a sip of her Strongbow...

At Terry's office...

Terry hung up the telephone and filed his

receipts then he leaned back and clicked on his
Facebook, it was a screenshot of him and
Momo with a caption, "Batho ha ba kgotse wa
ba bona, don't mind me i didn't have a phone
when this was trending" he sighed and put the
phone down, his eyes shifted into the air as he
got lost in thoughts..
He looked at the time and dialled someone..

Her: Hello
Terry: Hi, its Terry. Momo's friend... You
remember me right?
Her: Yes, you said to update you. It seems like
she was fired...
Terry: Are you sure?
Her: Yeah, Friday Jr was handling the issue. He
is as ruthless as his father when it comes to
their business reputation. She handed in her
office keys and took her things earlier
Terry: Ok, thank you.
Her: What about my P50? You said if i inform
you you'll give me lunch money
Terry: Ok, let me send.
He hung up and sent her the money then he
picked the telephone and dialled Momo..

The phone rang unanswered twice then he

logged in on facebook, oh yeah... Tumi blocked
her, he quickly unblocked her and clicked on her
account, they weren't friends now... And he
couldn't see much except her profile picture. He
checked her Insta and noticed she just posted a
video of herself travelling... It wasn't much
though, just the dashboard showing her playlist
and a cooler box. Then there was a picture of
her standing inside the car through the sunroof
spreading her arms holding Strongbow as her
little belly button showed underneath her top.
He checked if she had tagged whoever took her
pictures but there was nothing... For sure it
wasn't Pholo, it was a new guy... His heart
pounded as he dialled her but there was no
answer.
Tumi called but he waited for her call to end
then he unblocked Momo on WhatsApp and
typed her a message...

Terry: Hi

His phone rang, and it was Tumo AGAIN!

Knowing her if he didn't pick she'd call all day
and even send long paragraphs so he sighed
and picked.

Terry: Yes
Tumi: Hi, why aren't you picking my calls?
Terry: (brushed his beard annoyed) Cause I'm
with a client, (clenched his Jaws) is everything
OK?
Tumi: Yeah, i just miss you
Can we chat?
Terry: Not now, i have to make money... You
posting me naked on Facebook chased away
good customers and with the baby coming we
need that money since you're not even working.
Tumi: Oh, OK my mother and i had an argument
so I'm moving in with you.
Terry: I don't do cohabitation, that's not even
negotiable... I'm still trying to fix my life
Tumi: So where do you expect me to stay
carrying your child? The reason you can't think
for your child is because you're thinking about a
married old woman.
Terry: She is actually your age mate, she just
looks mature because she went to school and
wears formal wear a lot, just because you used
to wear shorts doesn't mean you're younger,
she just happened to finish school early and get
married early.
Tumi: Wow, did you just insult me for not
finishing school?
Terry: No, i just told you what makes her look
more mature than you. Can i get back to work?
Tumi: Don't ever talk to me about married
whore, i don't appreciate how you bring me
down and make me feel bad.
Terry: You brought up a topic about her, and she
is not a whore. If i knew this side of you I would
have used a condom.
Tumi: Well too bad you didn't, I've already
packed my things, they're in the boot so I'm
going to our house.
Terry: Bye

He hung up and went back to WhatsApp...

Terry: I'm truly sorry about what happened, I
know we haven't talked since that drama and i
didn't dissappear on you. I had to lay low
because i didn't want Tumi harassing you.
Please reply me anytime you get this, I'm
changing my passwords and everything so my
phone will be my phone alone.

He leaned back thoughtfully and dialled his

friend.

Him: Yeah, you'll be our driver tonight right? We

arr going to Chanoga, there is a party there.
Terry: O tlaa nyela who called who?
Him: (laughed) Ao Mterro... Laiteaka the
please.... You know I can't drive, I'm already
tipsy but it's not yet half four, ke di hupela ko
koloi abe keya offising... Those idiots won't
drive too but that party hot as fuck. There is this
tictoker going there too... She posted on her
Instagram that she will be coming to Maun to
attend the Chanoga wine tasting party
Terry: (laughed) So you think you'll hit on her?
Him: Nah, she is too beautiful for me. Beautiful
girls are btches. I'm just going there to have fun,
but i want to see if she is that beautiful in real
life or its tiktok filters
Terry: Ok, fine. I'll go but only because Tumi is
suffocating me... Eish ke ngaparetswe ke
motho. I regret not using protection.
Him: (laughed) Hardy, so ne o reng?
Terry: I want to go see your mom
Him: Why?
Terry: I need her to talk to Mr Friday for me so
they can reinstate Momo.
Him: (laughed) She doesn't talk to him.
Terry: I'll convince her, i know he can't say no to
her.
Him: (laughed) Who the fuck told you that? I
only needed one favour and she made a phone
call to him that's when he called his tycoon
friends and i got a job.
Terry: Exactly my point, I'm going to talk to her.
For the first time in your life you're a useful
friend.
Him: (laughed) Ok, see you later
Terry: Sure

He hung up and walked out...

At Pholo's House...

Meanwhile the grandmother handed the nanny

some of the children's dirty clothes then she
walked back to the bedroom, she stopped by
Pholo's room and knocked, he responded then
she walked in...

She stood at the door looking at Pholo laying

undercovers...

Her: Whats going on?

Pholo: (still undercovers) I'm just resting...
Her: Sit up and look at me...

Pholo pushed back the duvet and sat up looking

at his grandmother with reddish eyes...

Her: Be open with me so I can help you.

Pholo: There is nothing you can do, I'm just
hurt... I never thought I'd end up alone because i
failed to maintain an erection. I'm sure the
whole country knows it and when they see me
they think there is the man who couldn't get it
up until his wife left.
Her: People never stop talking, but you can't
beat yourself up for something you can't control.
I thought you were prepared for this.
Pholo: I was, it just hurt me that she didn't seem
to be hurting the same way i was. I expected
her to at least look sad after all the years we
spent together.
Her: People are different, she might actually be
hurting than you but maybe she decided to
mask it. She knows people expect her to break
down especially after the photos she is hurting..
Pholo: Ok...
Her: You need to get up and do something. Quit
feeling sorry for yourself..
His phone rang then she walked out, he picked
the call while taking out his clothes from the
wardrobe.

Pholo:Hello
Maya: Hi, just checking on you
Pholo: I'm good, how did the business meeting
go
Maya: Not good, Mr Friday is very rude he said
he partners with people on his level then he
asked me to come back after 5 years if my
business makes at least 200k annually.
Pholo: Don't give up, keep talking to other small
companies. Big companies di makgakga..
Maya: I won't give up..
Pholo: Let me bath we will talk.
Maya: You didn't update me about the case
Pholo: We are divorced...
Maya: Ok,how do you feel?
Pholo: Sad because all i wanted was a family
but I'll be OK. I'm going out, we will talk later
Maya: Bye

He hung up and clicked on Instagram, his egg

donor's video popped up as she smiled and
tucked her hair back.

Her: Hi guys, so your girl is having her very first

brand collaboration, it really means a lot to me.
We are going to be doing wine tasting...If you're
in Maun and surrounding areas let's meet in
Tšanoga... We can just do meet and greet. I love
you guys (blows kisses) See you there...

His lips curved as he smiled and dialled Itai...

Itai: Yeah
Pholo: Let's go out
Itai: Go out and do what?
Pholo: And have fun, at a party in Chanoga
Itai: Where is that??
Pholo: It's like an hour away from Maun, get
ready
Itai: Ok, let me iron my shirt
Pholo: A shirt? Really? It's a party
Itai: Ok...I didn't know you party
Pholo: I don't, but i want to see this other girl
and see if she looks this beautiful in real life...
Itai: Please tell me you're not talking about the
tiktoker
Pholo: Are you coming?
Itai: Yeah, you'll need a friend when she tells you
she doesn't fuck with nerds...You're like....dude i
don't even know how to characterise you but
you're not her type, women want bad boys...
The type that slap them and cheat on them... A
famous girl like her wants someone perfect for
the camera because she all about the views and
likes, no dreams whatsoever.
Pholo: I'm not going there to hit on her,
obviously I'm not her type, I'm not even anyone's
type and I'm not looking for a heartbreak but I'm
hoping to just see her and maybe take a picture
with her for my children's 21st birthday file.
Itai: Wait, what? Why would your kids care
about that?
Pholo: (sighed) Can we just go? It's almost time
up
Itai: Alright cool. Let me get dressed
Pholo: sure
He hung up and smiled then he jumped in the
shower and showered while whistle...

At Friday Investments...

In the reception, a lady walked in taking off her

shades and smiled...

Her: Hi, I'd like to see Mr Friday please...

Receptionist: Do you have an appointment?
Her: No, but he wouldn't mind.
Receptionist: Go this way, his PA's office right
in front of his office, you'll talk to her.
Masa: Thank you...

She proceeded as the receptionist leaned over

looking at her shoes, Gucci! Niceee!

Meanwhile the personal assistant typed Mr

Friday's letters, a lady walked in and smiled...

Her: Can i see Friday? I don't have an

appointment though
PA: He is attending an online meeting, but he'll
be done. You can wait here
Her: Thank you.
PA: Who is looking for him?
Her: I'd rather not say
PA: ok, I'll have to confirm with him first.
Her: No problem at all
PA : Thank you...

She waited, then the PA received the call..

PA: Sir
Friday: Done with the meeting. You can let my
calls through
PA: Ee rra, there is a lady here to see you
Friday: Who?
PA: She didn't say
Friday: Let her in.
PA : Yes sir
She hung up..

PA: Go inside

Inside the office Gape gathered his papers, the

door opened and Masa walked in, his heart
skipped as he paused, he put the papers down
and stood up meeting her halfway across the
floor...

She stretched out her hand to greet him but he

leaned over and hugged her.

Gape: Hi,
Masa: Hi...
Gape: Have a seat, let me talk to my PA
Masa sat down and sighed, her eyes shifted to
the framed pictures on the wall... His wife and
his children together with his grandchildren...
She took out her phone and kept busy.

Meanwhile Gape stuck his head out to the PA..

Gape: Please hold all my calls, if Mrs Friday

arrives see to it she doesn't see my guest.
PA: Perfectly understood.

He closed the door and rubbed his hands

together as he sat down trying not to show that
anxiety..

Gape: Can i offer you anything to drink?

She noticed he was saying something and
turned her head with the good ear..

Masa: I'm deaf on the other ear, you were

saying?

He looked in her eyes and swallowed a big lump

of guilt...

Gape:Drink?
Masa: No, i was on the middle of something, my
son's friend needs your help
Gape: Anything
Masa: You fired his girlfriend today or yesterday,
she needs that job. She just got divorced she
can't be jobless too... Reinstate her and hire her
permanently.
Gape: Ok, I'll talk to HR
Masa: Thank you
Gape: Sure, anything else?
Masa: No, i have to go.

He stood as she did too..

Gape: Wait.. About your ear, i didn't know you

still have that problem...
Masa: So you didn't know that all those slaps
you gave me over the years left me damaged or
you didn't know i didn't fix my damaged
eardrum?
Gape: Sunshine I'm not fighting... Please... I
could never do that to you after everything. I
just want to pay you for surgery.
Masa: I can afford the surgery, I'm just afraid to
do it. But thanks for the offer...

She took a deep breath and smile..

Masa: This is why I avoid you, you're always

happy until i walk into the room then your face
turns to this...you even do it when Mrs Friday is
around, i can't stand seeing you like that... Try
to fake a smile next time. (smile) Have a good
day... Say hi to your wife for me..
Gape: Wait, i don't want you to go just yet..Can't
you stay for a few minutes so we can catch up?
Masa: No, i have to go.
Gape: I want us to talk about going in the
surgery room together if you're afraid...
Masa: (smiled) Maybe we will talk about it next
time..bye, don't forget to hire that young
woman..
Gape: Consider it done... She'll be in office on
Monday.
Masa: Good, o godile kana hane ele pele nkabe
ele ntwa gone ha kere kea tswa, at least you
now understand what no means...

He laughed and rubbed the corner of his eyes..

Masa: Are you crying?

Gape: Of course not

He shook his head smiling but tears filled his

eyes then he walked over and hugged her.

Gape: I thought you'd hate me after everything

Masa: (rubbed his back while he hugged her)
Could never hate you..

She leaned back and smiled then she touched

his beard before walking out. He opened the
door and watched walk away, she turned and
smiled, he smiled back blushing with reddish
eyes then he walked back and picked the
telephone to dial HR...

In the parking lot...

Meanwhile Terry waited anxiously as his

friend's mother walked over and leaned in the
car.

Her: She will be hired, HR will call her before

Monday.
Terry sighed in relief and closed his eyes
temporarily...

Terry: Thank you....

Her: You're welcome, i have to go back to work.
Please don't ever beg me like that...
Terry: (laughed) Ee mma... Thank you.
Her: Heard you guys will be partying in Chanoga.
Please take care of yourself...
Terry: Ee mma

She got back in her car and drove off then he

reversed and drove dialling Momo but there
was still no answer...

In Chanoga...
Later that evening Pholo drove through the gate
and parked the car while Itai talked to his wife.
He hung up and they walked towards the
reception while loud music and different colors
flushed at the garden, they couldn't see much
as it was behind the building but the colourful
lights and nice music were inviting already...

Itai: can't we drive back after the party and save

money?
Pholo: And risk having an accident? Rooms are
on special because they're expecting a lot of
guests, besides I'm paying, stop crying

They walked towards the reception...

Meanwhile inside the reception the receptionist

smiled at the tiktoker recognising her..
Receptionist: Have a seat, someone will take
you to your room, welcom to chanoga.
Her: Thank you..

She noticed a toilet sign and walked there

leaving her things by the couch. Meanwhile
Pholo and Itai walked in and paid for separate
rooms..

Receptionist: Someone will take you to your

room. I apologise for the delay.
Pholo: Sure

They sat down and sighed, the tiktoker walked

back in as Pholo's heart skipped, she was
actually very beautiful... So beautiful he almost
smiled just looking at her, but her skin looked
pale... She looked way too skin like she had lost
weight and she looked fatigue...

Her: Hello?
Both: Hello

The Voice was the same and she had a nice

smile...

Her: I hope they weren't looking for me

Pholo: No.
Her: I follow you on tiktok and YouTube... I
thought you were a bit thicker.
Her: I lost weight, the problem is my appetite
and I get full faster even when I'm eating an
apple. Now people think i filter my pictures to
get a BBL
Pholo: Have you visited a doctor?
Her: Not really, it's not like I'm sick
Pholo: Do you ever get pelvic discomfort?
Her: Yeah, constipation too...
Pholo: Frequent need to urinate?
Her: Yeah... How do you know? Are you a nurse?
Pholo: Something like that... I'm an oncologist
Her: What's that?
Pholo: Someone you should see when you get
back to Gaborone. Go see an oncologist and tell
him all your symptoms... Including changes in
your menstrual cycle if any.
Her: How do you know I'm having all these? Is
there something wrong with me?
Pholo: I can't diagnose you sitting right here, go
see a doctor as soon as you get in Gaborone...
Terry and his friends walked in, the friend
recognised the tiktoker and walked over.

From a distance she could tell from his smile

that a fan was walking over so she stood up
and they hugged.

Him: Hi
Her: Hi
Him: Can we take a picture?
Her: Sure, that's what I'm here for

Him and Terry put her in the middle and smiled

taking pictures, Pholo stood up and walked out
then Itai followed him.

Itai: Ok, what's up?

Pholo: We are going back, i don't want drama
Itai: You just paid for 2 rooms
Pholo: Yeah, still going. The next thing I'll be
finding out Terry came with Momo. No thanks
I'm going back to Maun. My peace of mind
means everything to me.. I came here to get
away from drama, if drama is here I'm going
back. Let's go...

Itai sat in the car speechless then Pholo

reversed and drove off....

In Chanoga...

She smiled as they took pictures then Terry

walked to the counter as the friend smiled at
her...

Him: Are you here alone? I can be your tour

guide, by the way my name-
Her: (smiled) I'm here with..

She turned around looking the nurse she been

talking to but he was gone, together with his
friend.

Her: I was with a friend...

Him: Oh Pholo is your friend?
Her: We just met, do you know him? Where did
he go?
Him: I don't know him
Her: You know him, you just said his name is
Pholo. I was having a very important
conversation with him, please if you know him
tell me...

Terry walked over and joined them...

Him: What conversation were you having?

Her: It's private, please... Can i have his number?
Terry: Who?
Her: Pholo's number
Him: He was hitting on her and he ran away as
soon as he saw us. After that beating you gave
him he is probably scared of you...(to her) Do
you really want legatapa le le ntseng jalo? I can
show you around

She stopped talking and went back to her

luggage, from that last statement she could tell
what kind of people they were and it wasn't
even worth it... She wasn't even surprised he
left, typical nerd behaviour, she just never
thought they existed in real life.

Him: (laughed) Let's go.

Terry: Let me give her Terry's number..
Him: Really? You're going to help him get her
knowing why i came here
Terry: If that was you hitting on her you suck
Him: Let's go...
They turned around and walked out as Terry
called their friends who were supposed to be
here too..

Meanwhile the girl walked to the counter...

Her: Hi again, I was just talking to Pholo, the guy

who i believe either bought tickets or reserved a
room, the one with the specs.. I need his
number or last name
Receptionist: I'm not allowed to give out
personal information about our clients.
Her: Oh thank you. If he looks for mine please
don't hesitate.. Can i have a sticky note?

She wrote down her full names and number

then the staff took her to her room...
In her room...

She took a quick shower and did her makeup,

for some reason she couldn't stop thinking
about that nurse... The calm voice and how he
looked at her, he maintained eye contact the
entire time... He must have been a kind man...
Exactly the man her father was before leaving
this world... He had unique lips and he was very
smart too.. She actually never met any man
wearing a poloneck sweater, but then he was
definitely a nerd... She almost laughed and
checked the time, she was definitely late! She
picked her filming equipment and hurried out
goggling that word he said he specialised in,..
She paused walking and read the meaning of
oncologist, her heart almost dropped on her
feet.. Her mother's last moment came back...
And the look on her father's face hanging from
the rafters. She turned back to her room and sat
on the bed searching "Is ovarian cancer
hereditary" her heart pounded as she read more
about it, she searched symptoms and shook
even more, ok... So when detected early one
can fully recover! The thought of going through
what her mother went through brought tears in
her eyes, her phone rang...

Her: Hello?
Voice: Warona it's me, when are you making an
appearance? Kana our payment was based on
your time spent at event streaming for your
fans. How do you expect full payment ole late?
Warona: I'm on my way...

She hung up and rubbed her tears before

walking out, she couldn't do this but she needed
the money, that degree was useless so she had
to go in there and stream....
At the party...

Momo sipped her strongbow and danced as her

sister smiled taking a video of her dancing
alone...

Her: (shouted) Yesssss... Go sister!

A tall dark and handsome man standing by

smiled and nodded his head enjoying seeing her
dance then he walked over to her...

Momo danced and noticed this tall guy walking

over, he held her waist and she smiled
blushing... Nigga smelled good too though he
was equally stoned.. He leaned over her neck
whispering as the sister took a video...
Him: I hope you don't mind me dancing with
you..
Momo: It's ok... My name is Momo
Him: I'm Fela... I know who you're, ne o trenda
and I thought wow, bo phiri ba kgora.

The sister noticed them blushing and shouted

cheering as Fela turned looking at the camera
and smiled licking his lips before leaning over
Momo's neck...

Terry walked in holding his bottle of water

looking for his friends then he noticed this guy
all over Momo, he paced over pushed him as
the crowd moved away...

Terry: What are you doing?

Fela: Did you just push me?
Terry: What are you doing with her? Tswa mo
mosading wame...Momo let's go
Fela: She is not going anywhere... O husband
ele gore? Gape motho o ke divorcee
Terry: Did you me on that picture?
Fela: I don't care, go find another one gape
you're disturbing us.

Terry punched him, Fela punched him back and

his brothers jumped in from the crowd and
kicked him countless times, he tripped and fell
as Momo grabbed Fela..

Momo: Please stop... Mo leseng.... Tell them to

stop. People are looking at us..

The security men escorted them out as Momo

followed them, the sister stopped recoding and
ran after them...

Once outside the security guys let Fela and

Terry go..

Security: Please leave the party

Terry: He attacked me!
Fela: O tlaa nyela...didn't you throw the first
punch?

Security guard: Please leave...

Momo and the sister turned around and walked

towards the parking lot, Terry tried to follow her
but the brothers blocked him while his friends
stood by both shaking as the four tall brothers
surrounded Terry.

Friend: Terry can you just apologise so we can

go?
Friend2: (approaching them) Guys let's just put
this behind us... There is no need to fight, re
majita re buile re utwane...

Terry: Ok, I'm sorry

Fela: Nah, take back the punch, in fact bring
back my moment with her, reverse time and
take me back to her arms cause you ruined my
moment.

Friend: How is he going to turn back the hands

of time?

Brother: (turned around) Kante golo ha, are you

guys tagging yourself?

The friends stopped talking and stepped

backwards with their hands up in surrender..

Friend1: We are not fighting

Friend2: There is no need to fight...
Meanwhile Terry's heart pounded as four
brothers surrounded him... The other two
brother walked towards his friends.

Him: Disappear... Kare disappear

The friends walked backwards reluctantly as

Terry looked at them...

Terry: Are you guys actually leaving?

The brothers walked towards them and the

friends increased their pace walking backwards,
the brothers charged at then and the friends
turned around running away.
Fela: (shouted) Make sure that lady doesn't
leave... Or get her number for me

The two brothers headed to Momo's car, Fela

turned back to Terry and surprised him with a
hot slap, Terry stepped back without touching
his itching cheek...

Terry: What do you want? An apology? Go

siame ee I'm sorry
Fela: Nah, you tried to embarrass me out there.
Ne o bata go gapa fan ka nna? Kare take me
back to a moment i was standing with her and
her holding my waist.. Take me back..

The other brother grabbed Terry from behind

and pressed his arms together behind him as
Fela slapped him a couple of times, Terry
leaned over switching his head side to side
while Fela slapped him over and over then he
pushed his head up for proper loud slaps.

Fela: O taa nyela laiteaka a utwa?

Terry: Ok... (lifted his heavy head up looking at
him) So gawa kgotsogala mrena? I'm not even
fighting...

Fela punched him on the face, Terry fell on his

knees but the brother pulled him up still holding
him from behind and Fela punched him again,
everything begun spinning as Fela punched him
over and over, two of the brothers walked back...
The brother let him down and he fell laying on
his back as blood dripped from his nose...

Fela: The next time you see me with her you a U

-turn... A utwa?
Terry: Ok..

Fela stepped on his chest with one foot and the

other, now standing with both feet on his chest...

Older brother: That's enough Kaofela... Let's go...

Rotlhe let go.. Get out, if he breaks one rib he
will bleed to death. Mo hologe..

Fela got down, Terry sighed in relief and curled

himself into a ball coughed...

Fela: Go report me o nyele gore gothe le masika

a gago. Nka le nyedisa gore!

The older brother grabbed Fela and pushed him

away as they walked away chatting and
laughing like nothing happened. Terry turned on
his back looking at the moon and coughed with
every painful breath....

At Pholo's House...

On the same evening Pholo stood by his

children's cots staring at his daughter while she
slept, he touched her tiny hand and walked out.
He wasn't sure what was wrong with Warona
but he was glad he found out early, she would
probably not understand why she is getting
tested so much but it would be for the best..

He closed the door and walked to the living

room where his grandmother was still watching
IPCC music videos on TV.
Pholo: Goodnight
Her: Goodnight

He walked in his room and laid down as his

phone rang.

Pholo: Hello?
Maya: Hi, can we talk
Pholo: About?
Maya: The kiss, you said we will talk after the
divorce.
Pholo: You said we should act like nothing
happened and I respect that. You said you
cannot do that to your friend...
Maya: Wow... That little hard to get and you just
give up? So all these time while i was waiting
you weren't ever talk about this?
Pholo: Yes, because you said to act like nothing
happened, unless you're saying something else
now then yes we can talk.
Maya: Momo and i are no longer friends and
maybe it was my emotions talking that night.
Pholo: Ok, I'll give you a call in the morning so
we can talk.
Maya: Goodnight
Pholo: Goodnight...

He hung up and sighed laying down....

In Chanoga....

Meanwhile Momo waited in the car as Fela

walked over...
Momo: I hope you didn't fight again
Fela: We didn't... Can i have your number?
Momo: I just wanted to get naughty hela... No
numbers or anything..It was going to be a
nightstand but now I'm sober
Fela: Eish... OK...

He turned around and walked away...

Sister: Now i know why i don't go out at night,

such drama!

Terry walked from the direction they were

earlier, Momo frowned confused and stepped
out of car... It seemed like he washed his face.
Momo: Are you OK?
Terry: Yeah, I'm fine.. There is something i need
to tell you..

He hugged her and kissed her neck watching as

the brothers drove out the main gate...

Terry: Mr Friday is taking you back... I talked to

someone...you're getting your job back.
Momo: (smiled) Wow, really? (frowned) Are you
sure you're fine? Your nose is reddish inside..
Terry: (smiled) I'm good...

Everything spun then he collapsed at her feet,

she struggled to lay him down properly on his
back and checked his pulse...
Momo: Terry? Ijoo we
Sister: Let's take him to the hospital. Maybe
they beat him up
Momo: It's probably fatigue, let me call
someone to help us carry him to our room. It's
late, we can't drive to Maun.
Sister: Ok... I'll watch him..

Momo sitting on the chair talking to the phone

Bye

She hung up and turned around, she noticed he

was up then she put her phone down and
walked over to th3 bed...
Momo: Good morning...
Terry: Morning
Momo: Your phone has ringing the whole night,
how are you feeling?
Terry: I have a little headache but I'm fine...
Momo: Call your girlfriend before she posts
things on Facebook.

He got his phone and clicked on it, a notification

of a tag from Tumi dinged then he clicked on
facebook. "The most painful thing that can ever
happen to a pregnant woman is her baby daddy
ignoring her. Calling the whole night, sitting up
all night crying because you were still
recovering from being cheated abe motho ago
okeletsa. May God help you be a better man.

His family and friends didn't react to her post

but clearly they had seen that. He clicked on her
account and almost tapped unfriend button but
knowing Tumi it would be another drama. He
sighed frustrated and dialled her....

Tumi: (crying) Ke gone omo hologang?

Terry: I'm not cheating on you... I got sick last
night, akere ke laetse and you saw me leaving
with the guys.
Tumi: I called them all last night and they didn't
pick my calls so i know they weren't with you
because if they were it would be easy for them
to pick.
Tumi: They don't pick your calls because every
time i go out with them you blow their phones
more than their own girlfriends. Can you please
delete what you posted on Facebook... I don't
want my personal life on Facebook, i have
workers who respect me.
Tumi: I had no choice but to post because I was
in pain. I'm deleting then I'm calling ka video call,
I want to see where you're.
Terry: Ok.

He hung up and sighed putting his phone on

silent, picking her video call in a hotel room
would spark more questions..

Terry: I regret not using protection, i feel so

stuck and suffocated. We don't have privacy
and she posts everything on social media... She
calls my friends countless times mme o bone
gore ke laeditse, she saw me with them cause i
didn't know you were here.
Momo: Ke mathata... I don't know what to say...
Maybe it's just hormones. Anyways i got the call,
gatwe i must report for duty on Monday..
She stood up and walked over to him then she
sat on his lap and kissed him, but he seemed
somehow... Depressed maybe?

Momo: What?
Terry: Are you looking for a boyfriend?
Momo: Well, more like a sex partner.. But i want
someone single because i don't want to be
posted on social media.
Terry: Ok...

He swallowed a big lump and sighed looking

down then she pulled up his chin and kissed
him, he kissed her and flipped her down as his
meant got bigger and harder...
Momo: Wait, we can't... You have a girlfriend.
Terry: If i leave her will you marry me?
Momo: I don't know, but i don't think it will work
because she is your baby mama and i don't
want to deal with any baby mama.
Terry: Ok... Can we do it just once? I missed you
so much...

He kissed her and took out his hard meat

pushing her panties aside, she closed her legs...

Momo: I can't have unprotected sex le wena

when you're having sex with your baby mama..
Sia mogo nna the rra...

He moved aside and sat up as she got up and

fixed her, her sister called..
Momo: Hello?
Her: Hi, when are we checking out?
Momo: Let's go, I'll find you at the parking lot.
Her: Ok, bye

She hung up and gathered her things as Terry

pulled up his pants standing up..

Terry: You're going?

Momo: Yeah..
Terry: I came with my sister... And i definitely
wouldn't want to be seen with you in public. Bye
Terry: Wait-

She closed the door behind her, he opened the

door and watched her walking away then he
went back inside and took a shower. He sat on
the bed and Google causes of death right after
birth....

In the other room...

Meanwhile Warona walked out of the bathroom

in her robe and stood before the mirror staring
at herself, tears blurred her eyes and rolled
down when she blinked. She sat on the bed and
buried her face between her hands crying... She
took her phone and dialled her aunt...

Her: Hello?
Warona: Hi, i met this other guy... He is an
oncologist... Oncologists are doctors of cancer
right?
Her: Yes.
Warona: He was like when i get to the city i
should see an Oncologist, like how do you see
cancer through someone... I know he is not sure
about what he is talking about but I'm scared
because i know mama had it... Seeing her deal
with everything scares me, above all I don't
have children or a stable relationship, if i have it
what will I do? Sometimes waiting for a stable
relationship or a good job to have a child is a
risk tota...
Auntie: Stop jumping into conclusions
Warona: Akere mme auntie you know the story
with my periods?
Auntie: But the time you donated the eggs you
were also worried that they won't get yours, and
after the test you passed the medical test...
Stop worrying, if there was anything wrong the
medical examinations carried that time would
have disqualified you....
Warona: If you say so, but this just made me
realise that I'm risking by not having a child
because i might not find a man but I'm not
getting any younger. I've started getting paid for
being an influencer so maybe i need a baby.
Auntie: Don't let this scare put you under
pressure, go see a doctor and let me know what
they said.
Warona: Ok, I'll let you know... Bye
Auntie: Bye

She hung up and dialled Letsholathebe hospital,

if this guy was an oncologist he definitely
worked in a big hospital and the biggest around
this area was Letsholathebe... That's if he didn't
work for a private hospital.
Voice: You've reached Letsholathebe memorial
hospital, how can i help you?
Warona: Hi, may i speak to Dr Pholo?
Voice: Which unit?
Warona: (confused) Unit? Um oncology
Voice: Hold on...

She waited as the call got redirected...

Voice: Oncology unit good morning

Warona: Good morning, may i talk to Dr Pholo?
Voice: Dr Bathusi is no longer with us, he
transfered to a private hospital. Do you need
assistance?
Warona: No thank you, i just needed to talk to
Dr Bathusi, which private hospital did he go to?
Voice: I'm not authorised to share such
information..
Warona: Thank you.
Voice: Bye

She hung up and smiled as she searched him

on facebook, she clicked on his account,
according to his account he was divorced, and
his bio said "Proud single father". She clicked
on his pictures and smiled looking at him
carrying each of his kids in their car seats...the
old lady bathing the babies must have been his
grandmother. She clicked on a post of his
children's birth certificates.. He had hidden the
other confidential information and only showed
where it showed his children's names and him
as a father, the mother details were blank.. Did
his ex wife abandoned the babies? Or maybe he
cheated on the wife and had the children
outside their marriage? It didn't make sense
why any child would not have a mother.. The
names were so beautiful... PeoYame.... She
went through the comments trying to figure out
what happened to the mother but everyone who
asked why the mother part was blank wasn't
replied instead he reacted with a laughing emoji.
She went through the children's pictures and
smiled looking at them, they were so young but
beautiful... And the grandmother was in almost
every picture..

She sent him a friend request and typed him a

message.

Warona: Hi, we met in Chanoga. You said

something about seeing a doctor, although I'm
scared I'll be seeing the doctor as soon as I
arrive in Gaborone. You left before we could
finish talking, here is my number if you want to
talk. Thanks for suggesting a doctor.

She sent the message and sighed leaning

back...

At Pholo's House...

Pholo took out the children's tiny clothes from

the drier and walked in the bedroom where he
sat on the bed and set up the iron so he could
iron and fold them. His phone received a
notification then he clicked on the request, his
heart skipped as he checked the profile of the
person that sent him a request, he clicked on
her message and read it without opening it...

"Warona: Hi, we met in Chanoga. You said

something about seeing a doctor, although I'm
scared I'll be seeing the doctor as soon as I
arrive in Gaborone. You left before we could
finish talking, here is my number if you want to
talk. Thanks for suggesting a doctor. "

The excitement of getting this message! He

could literally jump up and down but then the
risk of bonding with her and having
expectations for his beloved children was too
much... Weighing the advantages and
disadvantages of getting closer to the doner, it
wasn't worth it... Besides even if she liked him
what would he do with a weak dick.. He'd
embarrass himself and she walk away from him
then he'd expect her to love his children which
would be impossible she since she never
wanted them anyways. His children would grow
up broken... And that's the risk he wasn't willing
to take.. He closed the message request
without accepting it and left the friendship
request pending.

At Momo's House...

Later on Momo offloaded her bags while her

sister remained in the car watching their
videos...

Her: But this Fela guy is hot...

Momo: Please delete that video...Hot guys have
hot heads, he comes across as childish and
immature... Violence doesn't impress me, which
is the deal breaker Terry tapped on when he
attacked Pholo...i liked him a lot until then. I
hate violence so as much as I like Terry there is
this side of him i don't trust at all...
Her: He just loves you, and now him having a
baby mama stresses him because he knows
he'd be with you full time.
Momo: No, he needs to control himself... I
doubt I'll ever find anyone like Pholo, whoever
he is going to marry is lucky tota. I can't believe
sex cost me so much.
Sister: But you're still fine. I like your life... I envy
you. You're free to party and have fun cause
you're single and working. Will you drop me
home?
Momo: Go with the car, I'll come get it later. I
want to rest.
Sister: Ok..

She closed the door and drove off then Momo

walked into the house and closed the door. She
sat on the couch and got on social media
checking if anyone had posted about the night
before but there was nothing.

In the conference room...

The Gape Friday Investments stuff ended their

annual stuff meeting...

Friday PA: (closed her notepad) Thank you guys,

I'll be sure to type everything you're happy about
and what you want the company to improve, Mr
Friday is always looking forward to the
feedback from our annual meeting because he
uses these meetings to improve the
relationship between the company and its
employees.

PR: I'm just happy the company offered to pay

for the venue of the stuff end of the year party,
👌 mohiri wa rona is thee best in Maun..

Momo: I was thinking maybe we should

contribute ma 3.5K and travel to Cape Town...
Just having fun for the Christmas holidays..
HR: Bathong festive season is time for family,
we go to see our grandparents ko ma gaeng
and we travel with our own families. Imagine
leaving my husband and children to have fun
with employees..
Marketing: (snorted) People you need to get a
life, hai gatwe travel as employees? Some of us
are just here to make money and go home to
our families. Imagine going that far with
strangers who are even jealous... Mr Friday
hates a toxic working environment but we all
know some people here low key hate each
other for the promotions.
Momo: It was just a suggestion, i know that we
have families we should be wit-

Most ladies looked at one another and laughed

mockingly.

Male Driver: Ladies please... Not today, the year

is ending and we just got good news from
mohiri, he is willing to pay for a hotel
conference so we can enjoy that, are we taking
Mr Friday's offer or not? There is no need for
drama.
Marketing: (laughed) And we are happy but
mahetwa wants to ruin our family plans..
Bathong not all of us drink Strongbow every
weekend and travel around the country because
we are afraid of the loneliness in our houses.
HR: (laughed) Ke hoo, i have 2 kids going to a
private school... Where do i get the comfort to
throw away 3.5K for a selfie on a south African
beach? Like guys, we travelled with our huns
and now we are doing serious things like
building and investing.
PA: (laughed) Ladies please...

Momo: Should i lodge a complaint of bullying?

Because i will if you keep doing this to me... I've
been tolerating this behaviour for far too long...
Mr Friday doesn't go easy on workers who
make it difficult for others to perform.
Marketing: (scoffed and looked away folding
her arms) Motho itidimalle you don't have
connections that will get you back in the
company after getting fired.
HR: (laughed) Akere mma! We are sorry dear,
we don't know anyone who knows anyone that
knows Mr Friday. If we get fired that's the end...
We don't have side niggas.
Male heavy-duty driver: (sighed) Ladies cut it off,
its not funny anymore.
Marketing: (smiled) Sorry
HR: (giggled) Re sorry...

Momo looked down as they finalised everything

and walked out, she walked out first to avoid
everyone but the ladies walking behind her
laughed and giggled so much even walking in
heels was hard. She finally got in her office and
closed the door...

She took a deep breath softly and sighed calmly,

she turned her computer back on and emailed
her application to different companies, but even
this was discouraging, most companies didn't
pay like Mr Friday neither did they have more
benefits for the employees.. But then i guess
peace was more important. A knock on the
door interrupted her thoughts...

Intern accountant: (smiled) Hi

Momo: Hi

She sat on her table at the corner then Momo

handed her some papers...
Momo: Balance this

She walked over and got it..

Her: I heard mosadi wa HR le wa Marketing

gossiping about you, they're saying you had
STDs and that's why you're infertile, apparently
you made your husband think he is the problem
and cheated until you left him then he had
babies with a secret woman.
Momo: Ok, it's fine.

She sat down then Momo sent more

applications...

At the clinic...
Tumi handed Terry the baby and the carrier...

Tumi: Go, don't forget... Men don't queue when

they take children to the clinic.
Terry: Ok, so i say what? Wouldn't it be rude to
just skip a queue?
Tumi: Men don't queue in clinics but only when
they take children for sekale {monthly checkup}.
Don't forget, she has injections too.
Terry: That queue is too long, can't we just go to
a private hospital?
Tumi: We can't because they don't give children
Tsabana at the private hospital. I want
Tsabana... Go

Terry picked his daughter and walked inside the

clinic where the queue was already outside the
building, just looking at all the ladies queueing
he could feel their anger should he skip them..

Terry: Hi, who is the last one ko sekaleng?

Woman: Are you alone or with the mother?
Terry: Alone
Woman: Men don't queue, 2 women get in then
a man, just like that.
Terry: Oh thank you.

He walked inside and they smiled at him

moving aside to make a sit for him as he
greeted them, ok so it turned out way better
than he expected. Two ladies got in then it was
his turn...

He hung the baby on the scale for a weight

checkup then walked in the injection room
where he held his daughter, he frowned and
flinched as the nurse tried to inject the baby..

Nurse: (laughed) Sheh the rra tshwara ngwana

Terry: (sighed shaking) The mma ska bolaa
ngwanake... (the injection came again and he
shouted shaking) Ei ei ei
Nurse: The rra wena... The baby is not even
crying you're shaking on your own...
Terry: (sighed) Ok, ok,

He closed his eyes holding her tightly as the

nurse injected her, his daughter burst into tears
screaming and he tearfully kissed her and
hugged her...

Terry: Sorry my love, I'm so sorry... I'll buy you

ice-cream... I love you my love...
Nurse: (laughed) Bye

Terry walked out with her shushing her and

headed to the storeroom where he handed her
card and got 3 bags of Tsabana, cooking oil and
beans.

Once at the car he loaded everything and put

the baby on her car seat..

Tumi: Can i borrow your phone?

Terry: No
Tumi: I'm just taking a selfie because you have
a better phone
Terry: No
He got in the car and drove towards the road,
she slid her hand in his pocket but he grabbed
her hand joining the road driving with one hand.

Terry: Can you stop it, ota nthudisa

Tumi: Bring the phone, my phone isn't locked,
why is yours locked?
Terry: That's your decision! Leave me alone.

She slipped out the phone as he quickly

grabbed the steering wheel with both hands and
missed a another car by an inch, she grabbed
his thumb forcing it on the phone screen as he
drove with an incoming truck, Terry pushed her
off but she wouldn't let go of his other hand as
he crossed the line now facing the truck, the
loud honk from the 18 wheeler of petrol echod
around as the baby begun crying, Terry reared
off the road now going straight for primary
school children walking by, he stepped on the
breaks and the car turned around facing where
it came from.

He switched off the engine and turned to her

with a punch but his daughter's cry stopped him
as he stopped and leaned back putting his hand
over his face.

Tumi: Unlock your phone, beat me if you want

but you're going to unlock this phone, otherwise
we are both dying.
Terry : I'll beat you waitse tota
Tumi: Betsa re bone

He looked at his daughter crying at the back

then he put his thumb on the screen and
unlocked before going to the back and shushing
the baby as people passed by staring. He
eventually got in the car and drove off quietly,
he looked at his daughter dozing off with tears
on her cheeks and swallowed... If he wasn't
such a coward he wouldn't be having this
problem, his daughter wouldn't be seeing all
these... Momo would probably be a better
mother... Well, until the next guy gets her... As
much as Tumi was the worst partner maybe his
daughter would need her one day. She handed
him his phone...

Tumi: Oka gana ka phone osa dire sepe? Nna

the rra you'll never cheat on me. If you do what
you did last year I'm burning offices, equipment
and everything... I'll even burn your mother in
her house, kill this baby and kill myself then
leave a letter so you can live with that guilt the
rest of your life...
At MM marketing and advertising...

Maya and the client walked around the newly

branded car as the client smile and shook her
hand.

Him: Thank you, it's perfect, we are ready for

the campaign.
Maya: You're welcome....

She walked back to the office pressing her

phone, she clicked on Pholo's account and
noticed he had unfriended her, she dialled his
number.

Pholo: Hello
Maya: Hi, did you unfriend me?
Pholo: Ee mma, i just thought it's for the best
especially for the children. I don't want to
confuse them.
Maya: Kana ntse ke emetse gore re bue ka kiss
ya ko spatela
Pholo: (laughed) Ao mma... I honestly liked you
and me going through divorce and rejection at
the time i thought we could have a relationship
but the truth is it wouldn't be normal. Tota hela i
was unprofessional and i apologise for that,
there should never be a relationship between
parents and a surrogate. I was going through a
dark phase of my life that time..
Maya: (laughed) Ok, i understand, gone mme it
wouldn't be normal on my side too ke tsaya ex
ya ga Momo.
Pholo: Exactly
Maya: Ok, Bye
Pholo: Sure
She hung up and received a 10K bank
notification, she frowned sitting down and
received a whatsapp from Titus.

Titus: That's baby mama allowance. Good

morning mmagwe Amber, its going to double if
you stop thinking about anyone else except
Amber and me.
Maya: Titus where did you get this money? Last
week you sent 5K for Amber. Gake bate madi a
bogodu, please
Titus: I told you I'm getting into Forex akere?
Maya: Where does the money come from ele
gore?
Titus: I'm trading akere?
Maya: What the fuck is trading? Titus! You're
going to jail.
Titus: Baby girl? Enjoy the fruits of your labor...
You loved me when i had nothing, you took care
of our daughter without degrading me and even
let me fuck you every time i come to check on
the our girl. Now I'm taking care of you.
Maya: And your girlfriend is just fine with this?
Titus: She understands, and she is focusing on
spending her share.. Focus on your daughter
too...
Maya: 🤦🏽 ♀Titus, is it real money? Ware
where does it come from? The last thing I want
is to be accused of enjoying pyramid schemes
money.
Titus: Just enjoy your money... Onne faithful if
you want more.

He went offline and she sighed, then she

checked her balance... The money was there
and she smiled.
At Pholo's House....

Later in the afternoon Pholo walked in the

house as his twins played on the carpet while
the nanny fed them sitting next to them..

Nanny: (laughed) Yame the rra?

Peo: (gasped) Daddy!

Yame: Daddy!

They ran towards him with food in their mouth

as the nanny stood up and grabbed the wipes,
Pholo put down his bag and lifted both of
them...
Nanny: Wait, let me wipe them before they
mess your shirt.

The nanny wiped each of them and even gently

wiped a stain on his chest, she smell his
cologne from where she was standing and even
after six months of working here she still didn't
feel comfortable standing so close to him, he
laughed kissing his kids and honestly this man
had the most manly and calm voice ever... He
had wide chest too and he looked so smart...

Pholo: Thank you.

Nanny: Ok.

She picked his bag as he walked to his room

carrying the children, after putting the bag on
the bed she walked out, the maid walked in and
smiled blushing..

Maid: Should i set the table for you? Lunch is

ready?
Pholo: No, i ate something on the way. I'll eat
later.. Thanks
Maid: Sure

She picked his shoes as he stood by

unbuttoning his shirt. She glanced at his zipper
as he dropped the shirt in the laundry basket..

Maid: I'll be in my room if you need anything

Pholo: Sure.

He turned away and dropped his pants

remaining with the boxer briefs, she stopped at
the door and peeked through the space
between the door and frame, wow... My God,
her clit throbbed as she watched him get into
his sweatpants and get on the bed with his
children. She heard footsteps and innocently
hurried away...

Meanwhile inside the house Pholo took out his

phone and pressed while his kids played on his
back. It had been a year since he unfollowed
Warona on all her social media pages, and it did
work because he wasn't so obsessed anymore...
Being a single father wasn't even that bad with
a nanny for the children and maid for the house.
No sexual expectations or anything... Just
peace and a blow job every once in a few
weeks... Now he knew stress was the most
common cause of erectile dysfunction... But out
of curiosity he clicked on Warona's account, it
had been a year since she posted anything, he
checked other platforms too and it was the
same thing.. Hopefully she was OK, he clicked
on the number she sent, then he closed it. He
couldn't risk getting stressed, he was happy
with his life as it is...

At Momo's House...

Momo walked in the house and took off her

heels, she headed to the bedroom untucking
her shirt and threw herself on the bed. She took
a deep breath and sighed... The house was so
silent she felt her thoughts coming up, then she
showered and put on causal clothes then she
drove to a hotel bar...

Once at the hotel she ordered a drink and slowly

drunk while watching people swim in the pool,
she kept smiling as people had fun in the pool
then she pressed her phone. She clicked
Pholo's account and smiled watching a video of
him and his children... Terry's call came through
and she leaned back..

Momo: Hello?
Terry: Can we meet? I'm really going through
shit
Momo: I'm at the hotel...

In Gaborone...

Meanwhile the doctor took a deep breath and

sighed looking at Warona...

Her heart pounded as she looked at the doctor,

her hands shook as she picked a scarf and put
it around her bold head... She could tell he didn't
have good news after after 2 cycles of a
chemotherapy what could be worse...

Doctor: The only way to save your life is to

perform a oophorectomy.
Warona: What's that?
Doctor: Before i explain it further, i want you to
know that chances of you beating ovarian
cancer after this are up to 90%... Looking at it if
we do this that cancer will be gone.
Warona: What is oophorectomy?
Doctor: The removal of your ovaries

Tears filled her eyes as she shook her head...

Warona: I didn't want to have children because i

never had a stable relationship, i was waiting for
the right guy, and I've never worked since i
graduated... I want children... If its an
emergency then I'll just have a child with any
random person then you can operate me
Doctor: I doubt you'll even fall pregnant? They're
cancerous.. We caught this right on time, if you
let us remove them the cancer will be gone..
Warona: I don't have siblings, my mother died of
cancer and my father committed suicide soon
after that... I need children, i am very lonely...
Doctor: If you don't do this then just know that
you're letting cancer reach a serious stage. I'll
let you think about it..

He walked out then she dialled the fertility

clinic...she asked for the doctor and got
redirected..
Him: It's Warona Johnson. I donated eggs a few
years back... I was wondering if its possible to
buy them from you. I don't have money but i will
sell the home my parents left me and pay you.
Dr: We were only able to extract 2 eggs from
you and both were taken by a doner.

She hung up and burst into tears...

At hotel...
Terry pulsated inside her then he pulled out as
the full rubber hung on his meat, Momo got off
the bed and hooked her bra in front of her
before sliding it around and putting the straps
on each of her shoulders, she picked her thong
and put it on as Terry stood up and slowly
removed the condom looking at her..

Terry: You're going already?

Momo: Yeah, you should go home too.
Terry: Can't we spend a night?
Momo: No. I really don't want drama. Don't
start..

She put on her shoes and grabbed her handbag,

Terry grabbed her arm before she could leave..
Terry: Ey
Momo: Yes?
Terry: Why do i feel used after our sex? You
have no emotions whatsoever... How do you do
that?
Momo: I don't understand why you can't accept
that we can't be... I've gone through everything
that was meant to break and now i have
accepted that we can't all get what we want...
Even if i cared Terry... It wouldn't make any
difference.
Terry: Can i throw this in the toilet bin? Don't go
yet
Momo: Ok

He walked backwards staring at her then he put

his arm inside the toilet still keeping an eye on
Momo.
Momo: (laughed) I'm not leaving...

He walked back and sat on the edge of the bed

still naked then he put a towel over his meat.

Terry: I'm going through shit because of Tumi,

it's either i kill her or i just walk away from her
and the baby ke itatole ngwana hela once and
for all. Eish waitse now i understand why some
guys just cut off baby mamas... This woman is
testing my patience.
Momo: Don't abandon the baby, can't you ask
for custody?
Terry: I obviously won't get it
Momo: It's worth a try.. Why not just leave?
Terry: She threatens everyone in my life and i
believe her, i think she has some kind of mental
illness, no normal mother can behave like her...
She says i can't leave her damaged i must
marry her or i must restore her body back to
before she had a baby.
Momo: Ke mathata... I have to go. Bye

She walked out and closed the door, Terry

sighed and laid down as his phone rsng, he
looked at the screen and it was Tumi. He got
dressed and walked out...

The emptiness as he got in the car, he shook

his head and started the car then he drove out.
His phone rang again, this time it was Tumi's
cousin..

Terry: Hello?
Her: Tumi was just here with your daughter and
i didn't like how hard she slapped her on the
face just because she kept saying she is hungry.
Is Tumi taking her meds faithfully?
Terry: What meds?
Her: You don't know?
Terry: Don't know what?
Her: Your life and daughter's life is in danger if
she doesn't take her meds properly, she
behaves like how she is without medication.
Terry: Can you just tell me what the fuck is
wrong with her? Please!
Her: She had bipolar, don't tell her i told you. Bye

Terry's mouth slightly dropped as he stared at

the screen on his phone..

At Momo's House...
Later on Momo walked in the house and closed
the door, she kicked off her shoes and headed
to the fridge where she poured a glass of
Strongbow then she sat down and grabbed the
remote, now the feeling of sitting down to
continue with another episode of her favourite
series was the best feeling...

She laid on her side and watched, she heard the

gate open and quickly peaked out, it was her
sister... How she hated having visitors, she
never really knew what to say to keep the
conversation going... Definitely can't rekindle
the sisterhood that never really existed isn't it...
She switched off the TV and took the keys off
the door before running to the bedroom where
she put her phone on silent. They knocked and
even called before peaking through the keyhole
and realising she was probably out with a friend
or colleague... They left and closed the gate
then she came back and continued watching for
almost an hour before hunger kicked in.

She got dressed and drove off...

In Woolworths...

Later that evening Pholo parked the car and

took out Peo as the beads on her braided hair
jiggled, he put the baby leash on her hand and
took out Yame with a sharp haircut, he put a
leash on him too and locked the car before
walking towards Woolworths...

They recognised it and smiled running towards

it with pampers making them even thicker, a
lady walked past them and smiled admiringly,
Pholo smiled back and got a trolley which he
put them inside and pushed walking in as the
air cons blew off the heat..

He picked several things and turned to the other

aisle where he noticed Momo standing looking
at two different products. He drove towards her
and smiled...

Pholo: Hi

She turned around smiled looking at him but her

face lit up even brighter as she looked at the
twins, the boy looked exactly like him and the
girl looked nothing like him but she was
extremely beautiful...

Momo: Hi... Oh my God.. The boy looks like you,

the girl must be looking like her mom... I can't
believe you really made babies... Ba bante gore
rra... Can i lift them?
Pholo: Sure

She picked the boy first and smiled looking at

him, it was like lifting little Pholo and she kissed
him on the cheek..

Yame: Hi
Momo: Hiiii..

She put him back in the trolley and picked the

girl Pholo also smiled watching her... She was
genuinely happy to see them and the
excitement on her face was priceless...
Momo: Hi baby girl
Peo: Hi baby girl!
Momo: Oh my God, she is so beautiful... I swear
you chose the right person to mate with the rra.
Wow...

She turned to him and smiled proudly, he smiled

too and she turned back to them again.

Momo: The girl is so beautiful, aren't you

curious to see her mom? She must be so
beautiful..
Pholo: I actually know her
Momo: (smiled) Wow... Really? What did she
say?
Pholo: She doesn't, she used to be active on
social media but then she just disappeared..
Haven't been active for a year but i have her
number. I'm just protecting my heart amd
children..
Momo: What if she is dead? Or sick or
something? People don't just leave social
media...
Pholo: What if she rejects them? She is like an
influencer or something, ke slay queen
Momo: You're judging her based on her
Facebook posts? That's not fair.
Pholo: I'm just afraid to get my heartbroken.
Momo: I know you avoid getting hurt by
everything and that's good... Doners shouldn't
be contacted anyways... But you should keep
track of her in case your kids ask. It will give
them closure...
Pholo: That one ke slay queen... Her name is
Warona Johnson.
Momo: I know her, used to follow her. I didn't
know she is off social media.
Pholo: Yeah, at least i know her name that's all i
need. Gake bate go tisetswa drama.
Momo: Ok, anyways it was nice seeing you... O
itiretse rra
Pholo: Thank you, what about you?
Momo: Nothing new, going to work, watching
movies then go out on weekends. That's it...
Pholo: You'll find someone, you deserve
happiness too...
Momo: Thanks..
Pholo: Bye, by the way don't tell anyone about
the identity of their mother. Nobody knows. I
just trust you.
Momo: Of course. Bye
Pholo: Bye
He pushed the trolley as the twins waved her
goodbye, she smiled emotionally and waved
back then she turned and walked towards the
till. She queued and sighed taking out her phone
then she searched Warona and clicked on her
number..

Momo: Hi, I'm your biggest fan. How come you

don't post anymore?

At Momo's House..

Later that night Momo walked back in and put

her things on the table, her phone chimed. She
quickly picked it up and clicked.

Warona: Hey love, thanks for checking up on

me. I am on social media with my personal
account not pages, I'm going through a
personal battle and as soon as I have won I'll be
back.
Momo: Do you mind of i call you?
Warona: Of course not.

She dialled her and leaned back..

Warona: Hi
Momo: Hi, by the way my name is Mokgabo but
everyone calls me Momo. I'm your biggest fan
ever, are you OK?
Warona: I'm fine my love, and i appreciate all of
you calling me and asking me why I'm not
posting anything. I know most fans would just
move to the next content creator and you
asking about me means you care.
Momo: How are you? What's the problem?
Warona: I don't want this to be public before I
personally tell everyone in my own words.
Momo: I'm not that kind of person, i don't betray
people for likes on social media..
Warona: I'm battling cancer, but I can't tell you
more than that. I'll share with everyone if I'm
ready.
Momo: I respect, I'll pray for you to recover i
love your content
Warona: Thank you
Momo: Save my number, I'll be checking on you.
I found myself a sister
Warona: Definitely...
Momo: What do you do besides streaming?
Warona: Tourism and hospitality, but there are
no jobs
Momo: I'll help you find a job, tomorrow I'll give
you a positive feedback. You just have to beat
that cancer
Warona: Oh my God, are you serious?
Momo: yes, i know people
Warona: I'm calling the doctor and giving them
consent to perform an assessment
oophorectomy.
Momo: What's that?
Warona: removal of ovaries. I didn't want to do
it because I don't have children but it's fine, at
least i have a job. The mma wena don't prank
me
Momo: i promise it's not a pranj, you can
search for my account and see, I'm not a joker
Warona: Can we video call? I want to see you

She hung up and video called, to her surprise

she didn't look bad at all. Except she lost hair
which can be solved with a lace wig anyways..
She looked so much like her daughter...

Momo: Hi
Warona: You're promising me a job ne mma?
Momo: (smiled) Yes, but it's in Maun.
Warona: I don't care, as long as i find a job.
You've just given me hope..
Momo: Go to bed, we will talk tomorrow.
Warona: say hi to your family for me
Momo: Well-um ok, i will. Bye
Warona: Bye

She hung up and sighed, where she'd get a post

for someone in Tourism and Hospitality she
had no idea but tomorrow she'd definitely get
that job for her.

At Terry's House...

Meanwhile Terry walked in the living room and

picked his daughter then he walked out and
dialled the police...

Voice: Maun Police services, good evening

Terry: (panting) Hello, i just found my girlfriend
hanging from the rafters.. She was suffering
from bipolar... Today she just wasn't herself.
Can you help me?
Voice: What's your address?

He said told her the address and paced up and

down talking to the phone. After that, he dialled
her sister...

Her: Hello?
Terry: (broke down crying) She hung herself...
(sniffling) the police are on their way... How can
Tumi do this to me? Today she wasn't herself...
What am i going to do without her?

At Terry's House...

Terry handed the neighbour his daughter as the

police car arrived, he rubbed his tears and
walked in with the police..

Terry: (Pointed) There...

The police officer looked around without

touching anything..

Him: Forensic team will be here any minute...

Terry noticed the chair just below Tumi's body
as she hung...

Terry: Can i get her down?

Officer: You can't temper with evidence
Terry: i know, thats why i called you because i
didn't want to touch her but you're not getting
her down.
Officer: Let's go outside..

He walked outside and sat on the bucket

rubbing his eyes, more officers arrived and got
inside with their evidence gathering suit cases...
Another officer walked over to him and he
stood up...
Him: Did you two have an argument?
Terry: In the morning yes, but then i left and she
went to see her sister... The sister told me Tumi
wasn't herself and she suspected that she
wasn't taking her medication..
Him: Medication for?
Terry: Bipolar, sometimes she wakes up
completely depressed, sometimes angry... You
know how bipolar is.
Him: I see... Why is that chair still up if she hung
herself? People who hang themselves kick the
chair so there is no turning back.
Terry: Oh that, i picked it up and stood on it
checking if she was breathing, i almost cut the
rope too but i thought maybe it might be wrong.
Him: Ok, I'm taking you with me to the police
station, its just questions. You know that when
someone dies their partner is automatically a
suspect until they been ruled out right?
Terry: Yes, i understand that...
Him: Alright, I'll be back...

Terry slowly sat down...

At Momo's office...

The next morning Momo walked in her office

and sat down, she picked the telephone and
dialled the first two numbers on the business
card then the intern walked in..

Her: Good morning

Momo: (hung up) Good morning

She sat on her desk then Momo walked out and

headed to the parking lot where she dialled the
number on the first business card...

Fela: Wow... My caller app says my crush is

calling
Momo: (laughed) Mxm... Bona i need a favour,
your brother has a big company right, i need a
post for my friend, she did Tourism and
hospitality..
Fela: Ok, can i get a date with you? I'm not trying
to buy you or anything, i want to apologise for
that night... In my defence I was drunk
Momo: (laughed) And you're making excuses
for it?
Fela: Fine, I'm sorry. Phakela i was like what if
the people had taken a video of me.. tell your
friend to email me her cv or wena email it.
Momo: I will in a minute. But she is getting an
operation sometimes this week so she won't
start right away.
Fela: I'll explain it to my brother.
Momo: If you get her hired ke go neela kuku.
Fela: Say no more, that's all the motivation i
need
Momo: (laughed) It was a joke!
Fela: Santha ke santha! Bye

She laughed and hung up smiling then she

dialled Warona.

Warona: (low voice) I'm with the doctor, I'm

going for surgery.
Momo: Ok, good luck.

She hung up and dialled Pholo but his phone

was busy...
At the hospital...

Later on Pholo walked in the office and closed

the door..

Momo: Hi
Pholo: Hi, sorry i was with a patient. What's up?
Momo: Warona is having a laparoscopic
oophorectomy in Gaborone... She should
recover in 4 to 6 weeks i guess. Got a friend of
mine to find her a job so she will be in Maun
maybe in a few weeks.

At the hospital...

A cold chill ran down his spine as he slowly sat

down...

Pholo: Why would you do that? I told you not to

tell anyone about this.
Momo: I haven't told her anything-
Pholo: So why are you bringing her to Maun?
Why do you hate to see me happy? I thought
you've changed... We are talking about my
children Momo why?
Momo: I just thought I could finally do
something that will make you happy... But i
won't tell her anything.
Pholo: There are no laws about egg donations,
Warona can actually demand this children and
the court might listen to her because surrogacy
doesn't have laws...
Momo: I'm sure she signed a contract with the
fertility clinic
Pholo: And i breached the contract by telling
you and now she might know, this is one of the
worst things you've ever done to me.
Momo: Pholo i thought-

He put down the phone and pinned his elbows

on the table before burying his face between his
eyes while she talked by herself on the phone,
he took a deep breath and sighed picking up.

In the parking lot....

Pholo: (calmly) I'm very angry with you.. I'm so
pissed i don't want to talk to you anymore. I
shouldn't have told you.
Momo: I won't tell her, I'll tell her there is no job
Pholo: Delete my number. I'll never trust you, I'm
so disappointed i don't even know what to say
to you. I never thought you'd di that. This is why
no one is supposed to talk to an ex. Bye
Momo: Pholo wait, please hear me out... I know
you're afraid... Believe me I'd never do
something that will destroy your life... You're
overthinking.
Pholo: It's sad because you can't even see how
much you've disappointed me, you're about to
ruin my life by bringing this girl to Maun. I don't
want a baby mama drama..
Momo: Warona is not like that, even as a social
media influencer she was never rude or
judgemental, she just likes dancing to trending
songs... She doesn't even have friends. You're
judging her because she likes social media..
Pholo: She is probably another Tumi waga Terry
always making him trend. I cannot afford to
trend, I'm now partnering with other doctors in a
private hospital, any bad decision will affect my
salary.
Momo: You're just judging her.
Pholo: That's not the point, she shouldn't know
anything about my kids. They're mine not hers
and I don't want children that are caught
between visiting mama and daddy, dealing with
stepmothers and stepmothers... You know-this
is pointless because nothing is ever serious to
you. Bye, don't ever talk to me. I'm angry with
you.

The call got disconnected and she closed her

eyes regrettably. She sighed and walked
towards the building then she heard her sister
panting shouting for her..

Wantlha: Momo... Hi...

She paused walking and sighed, Wantlha

hugged her from behind but this just felt weird...
She just never got hugs as a girl especially from
siblings..

Wantlha: Just dropped by to see your office.

Momo: Ok, let's go...

As soon as they walked in two colleagues

laughed out loud, Wantlha turned looking at
Momo, her face dropped but she kept walking...
Wantlha looked at them and followed her
confused..
Wantlha: Are they laughing at me?
Momo: No, they're laughing at me. Ba thola hela
ba dira jalo... They gossip about me, they tell on
me about little things trying to get me fired
akere ba itse ke na le history so they want me
to get in trouble.
Wantlha: So why can't you tell them off?
Momo: That's not who i am... People like that
always know what to say and how to argue... I
can't say much.
Wantlha: Let's go back there..
Momo: No, you're not doing that in my office.
Wantlha: Fine, I'll go alone...

She turned back and walked towards the ladies

sitting in the reception then she stood in front
of them and held her waist...
Wantlha: What were you laughing at when my
sister and i walked in?

They turned their heads and looked at her...

Wantlha: Should i speak setswana? Ne le

shenamisa eng hake tsena le nkgonne?

They looked at one another as if she

misunderstood why they were laughing about.

Wantlha: Le taa nyela ntse le le batona, wena

Fat one: I wasn't laughing at her
Wantlha: Shut up ka mahura!

She turned her head to the other one...

Wantlha: Bathong even this... (moved her hand

up and down with her nose lifted) ma'am your
face has pimples as big as my fist and you're
laughing at someone with a smooth skin? You
should be using that time to fix this beat up
face...your pimples look like they're about to
pop, why not tell your fat friend over here to pop
them? And then what is that smell? You better
get checked for some STDs because i can
smell dipara tsa gago from here...

She took a deep breath and sighed looking at

them..

Wantlha: I almost forgot why I came here, e ☝

nne labohelo... Le kgwe le tshelele... If i hear her
saying something about you two or anyone
here... I will take all of you one by one outside
ke le gata gore! This fat one by the time I'm
done with you you'll be slender, wena I'll clear
those pimples and blackheads with one hot
slap.

They swallowed without a word then she

walked away, the receptionist smiled putting
her hand over her mouth quietly, Wantlha
passed by Momo while Momo stared at them
and smiled naughty, they didn't even respond,
she turned around and followed her to the
office where she closed the door and smiled.
Momo: What the hell was that?
Wa: Never let people bully you, golo ha ga Mr
Friday gase ga bone. They can't bring their
mentality here...

Momo sat down and smiled..

Momo: Gaka tshoga! Thank you..

Wantlha: I came to your house and mama
thought you weren't there but I knew you're
inside... I saw the curtains moving... Today i
want to understand why you won't try to make
us work. Please be honest...
Momo: Because the only family i know was my
grandmother... Did you know that mama used
to deny that I'm her daughter? She was
ashamed of me she gave me to our
grandmother then she got married and lived life
to the fullest... I suffered with granny...
Collecting water far at the standpipe, one time i
collected water late and men chased after me...
I ran to the nearest home and they took me
home, i went through hell...

Tears filled her eyes as she shook her head

trying not to get emotional...

Momo: I wore uniform until it lost colour, i ate

pap with soup... Sometimes I had to go from
home to home asking for salt.. Nna ke tswa
kgakala le bullying, i was bullied for having torn
shoes, torn uniform and putting books in a
macaroni bag... I lived like that while you guys
were sent to private schools and living better
lives... All because my father denied me and my
mother wanted a perfect family... When my
grandmother died I died with her...
She rubbed her tears...

Momo: She called you Wantlha intentionally so

people don't even think or suspect she might
have another daughter. I graduated alone... I've
always been alone and you people trying to get
close to me makes me uncomfortable because
i don't know how to be loved by a mother or
sibling. I know you don't know anything.. And as
soon as you found out in exist you liked me but
i feel weied... When you hug me i don't hug back
because its weird..

Wantlha walked over and pulled her up..

Wantlha: Then let's start slowly... How about

you cry on my shoulder?
Momo stood up and slowly hugged her, she
took a deep breath and calmly sighed before
hugging her tightly...

Wantlha: Let's not allow our mothers mistakes

to affect us.. I can't make excuses for her or tell
you why she did what she did. Nna mma i want
a sister because friends betray us... I want you...
Le wena you need me..
Momo: True...(smiled tearfully) And thank you
for dealing with those bullies, having a sister is
actually nice. Gongwe ke taa hema pheho

They laughed and sat down...

Wantlha: Anyways I'm not taking long, just

wanted to say hello... Your office is beautiful..
Momo: thank you..

The intern walked in and greeted them, they

responded then they walked out. Momo walked
her to the car where they hugged before she
drove off.

Minutes later she walked back in the reception

and there was silence this time, the only sound
was her heels across the floor, her eyes met the
receptionist and she smiled at her naughty...

In Gaborone...

Later that evening Warona opened her eyes and

lifted her head looking down her body, she was
numb to pain but she could see she had a cut
below the abdomen... She reached for her
phone and noticed she had an email, she
clicked on it and smiled reading the offer letter...
Her mouth dropped, 2 years of unemployment
and she applied everywhere including this very
lodge... But they refused, the salary was good
too and her first day of work was 6 weeks from
now..

Her hand shook as she dialled Momo's

number...

At Momo's House...

Meanwhile Momo sat on the couch and

emptied the chicken licken wings into a plate
then she poured coke into a glass, the sound of
those bubbles got her mouth watering and she
sipped the bubbles growing up the glass. She
leaned back and begun eating while watching
the continuation of her series..

Her phone received a message from Terry's

secret phone..

Terry: Hi, Tumi committed suicide so i can't talk

to you for a while because you know how it
goes when your partner dies. Spent the whole
day at the police station, police just let me out
now. Take care, i can't wait to be with you. Don't
reply.

It rang while in her hand, she looked at the

screen and it was Warona. She wasn't sure how
to let her down easy but she had to...

Momo: Hello?
Warona: (crying) I don't know how to thank you,
i got the job.... Imagine i just woke up from the
injection from my surgery and the first thing i
see is a job. Now I want to beat this thing and
work... I didn't even make money, i only had one
gig ya ko Chanoga.. I was getting started with
adverts so believe me when i say you're a
guardian angel. I just wanted to ask for one
more favour...
Momo: What's that?
Warona: Once I've recovered I'd like to come to
Maun earlier... I'm sure after 2 weeks I'll be able
to walk so can I stay at your house for a few
weeks while looking for a house?

At Momo's House...

Momo put down the chicken confused... The

way she was grateful and excited about the
future... It would be evil to crush her...
Momo: Um... Ok..

SIX WEEKS LATER...

At beauty studio...

The stylist stood behind Warona as she sat in

front of the mirror with a cover around her
shoulder, she removed the cover around her
hair edges revealing the most natural looking
lace wig... Warona smiled and even leaned over
the mirror looking at her baby hairs...

Warona: Oh my God...
Her: I told you no one will tell you once lost your
hair...

Wantlha stood up holding Warona's phone and

took a video of her as she smiled and blinked
several times shaking her eyelashes.

Wantlha: (handed her the phone) You must

acknowledge the cameraman... Ei mma it's so
beautiful...
Warona: I didn't think it would be this perfect...
She ran her finger through her waves and stood
up smiling looking at herself on the mirror..

Warona: Can't wait to gain weight

Wantlha: But you're size 30, it's so perfect..
Warona: Girl I'm a 34, i have an ass that chemo
took and as soon as it finishes in my system
you'll see that i am mmamongwato...
Wantlha: But you eat a lot, i guess you'll gain

Warona: Yeah...

They paid and walked out as Warona dialled

Momo on video call...

At Momo's office...
Meanwhile Momo handed the intern some
papers..

Momo: Here you go

She walked out as Momo's phone rang then she

smiled and picked, as soon as she picked the
call Warona turned around her hair waving then
she smiled and pouted.

Wantlha: (laughed) Come get your friend she

has turned me into a camera man.
Momo: The mma yo o rata dinepe, she likes

Warona: But my hair is so perfect... (got the
phone) Hi.. When are you knocking off? I can't

Momo: (laughed) There is only 30 minutes left
then I'm knocking off.
Warona: Ok, we will wait for you in the mall.
Momo: How did it go at work, signing the

Warona: It was cool, the people are nice.. Can't

Girl: (stopped) Hi WJ can i take a picture with

She looked at Wantlha and stuck her tongue out

at her then she stood next to her fan and smiled
as she took a selfie with her and walked away
smiling. Warona folded her arms and smiled..

Warona: Ne o reng kana?

Wantlha: (laughed) Just 1 crazy girl? You're not

Warona: I was offered free drinks at the launch
party, as you know I'm currently not allowed to

Wantlha: O celeb ee the mma sorry wena, will

Momo: (laughed) You two never stop, let me
wrap up and finish.
Both: Bye

She hung up and carried on working.

At the hospital...

Meanwhile there was a knock on Pholo's door

while his guest knelt between his legs behind
his table, the grabbed her head with both hands
and shoved her down h thick meat cutting her
oxygen going down her throat, he threw his
head back down and bit his lower lip pumping
down her throat..
Tears filled her eyes as her stomach lifted, she
could feel the black machine pumping inside
her as it throbbed inside her throat...

Pholo: No teeth, tongue out..

She opened her mouth wide and he pushed

deep, her body stiffened and she passed a
quick fart, that one that just slips out without a
smell..

The knock continued and he pushed her head

back as it slid out and dropped on his thigh...

Pholo: Clean it up...

She gasped for air and licked any spit left, he

stood up and zipped up then he sat down and
pushed his chair into the table while she hid
under the table... He fixed his tie, and grabbed
the breath spray..

Pholo: Come in!

The nurse walked in and placed some files on

his table..

Nurse: It's from Dr Atang David

Pholo: Thank you

She walked out and closed the door, Pholo slid

his chair back, the young woman got out and
fixed herself on the mirror.. Pholo opened his
wallet and handed her..
Her: Thank you
Pholo: Sure

She walked out and closed the door then he

grabbed Dr Atang's file, he read for a while and
dialled him..

Atang: Yeah
Pholo: Got your feedback. O serious?
Atang: Yeah, you don't need surgery... That's
why doctors shouldn't treat themselves...
Pholo: I find it convenient to treat myself
because i already know what i would do if its a
patient.
Atang: So you'd rather go against the ethics? At
least you seemed second opinion, nna tota ke
bona gore your biggest problem was stress...
Stress and depression takes away your ability
to erect waitse akere
Pholo: I know....
Atang: As soon as you found out about
diabetes your worst fear was erectile
dysfunction and it stressed you to a point of
actually experiencing it, add stress of a
cheating wife and working 2 jobs without a rest
you killed some of your nerves... But with what
you have, and how much you've reduced stress
virgra e ka raga..
Pholo: I was thinking Vardenafil since its 10
times more biochemically potent than sildenafil.
Atang: True, you're correct... Cause di side
effects tsa yone are less.. Should i write you a
prescription?
Pholo: Sure
Atang: (laughed) Oe nwe ole sure ka kuku

rota abe o tswelela o raga laiteaka, ha o hetsa
le ngwana wa mosetsana ke sekgethe ibile e

They cracked laughing out loud...

Atang: Are you going to the launch party?

Pholo: They invited me, and the director is my
patient's father so I can't miss it, but I'm just
going to show up then disappear...
Atang: Alright, cool. See you there
Pholo: Sure
He hung up and looked at the time, it had been
an hour since his time was up, he grabbed his
coat and walked out.. He needed a har cut...

He walked past the pharmacy...

Pholo: Hi, can i have my contact lenses? They

should have arrived 2 hours back..

The pharmacist handed them then he walked

out...

At the mall...

Later on Momo and the girls walked in the shop

and grabbed shopping baskets..
Wantlha: I can't believe you have a wardrobe full
of nice clothes but won't give me, they don't fit
you
Warona: in 6 months I'll be back to 34. For now
let me enjoy size 30 in peace, reka diaparo
monyana o togele go ngamela..
Momo: Yo o ngame mma, she only has one
bra...

They laughed out loud, Warona caught a

familiar face passing between the aisles then
she stopped and took the other way, she
stopped behind clothes and stared at Pholo
who was staring at two different boxer briefs...
One black and the other stripes... He'd definitely
look better in black but he was still stuck, the
girls walked over curiously and peaked too..

Warona: (whispered) That's my crush, his name

is Pholo, he is an oncologist, went to school in
Cuba...

Momo and Wantlha looked at one another...

Momo: Go say hi
Warona: (laughed) Ijo, o bata motho a
ntshwabisa? No thank you, Kampa ka swela
moteng... Gape he doesn't like me, once said hi
and he ignored my message last year. He must
have rekindled a relationship with his baby
mama. He doesn't about his relationship so it's
hard to stalk his private life. He didn't even
accept my friend request. (sighed) Let's go..

She turned around and walked away as the girls

followed her...

At Pholo's House...

Later on Pholo sat on the bed in his boxer briefs

applying body lotion to his arms and elbows,
Peo stared at him suspiciously as her face
dropped, she baby walked to the door and
picked her shoe before crying while Yame
cluelessly played on the carpet...

Pholo: Sweet P the mma not today... I'm not

going....
He stood up and put on his black jeans...

Pholo: Labaneng?!

The nanny walked in and picked Peo as she

cried out loud, he put on his Tshirt and helped
her put on her one shoe..

Pholo: We are going together OK? Go put on

your other shoe... Run ok?

She smiled and he kissed her on tje cheek, the

nanny smiled too catching his cologne as he
leaned over kissing the baby whole she was
holding her.. Swear this man smells good... She
looked at his head as he kissed her one more
time..
Pholo: You'll come out when I'm gone, Yame
isn't mature enough to understand problem ke
mme yo.
Her: (laughed) Our gender knows bullcrap when
it sees one

They laughed out loud as she walked out, the

maid walked in and got the basket with the dirty
laundry.. She paused and looked at his clothes...

Maid: No, wear something that sticks to your

chest. Embrace your body santse ole sexy very
soon you'll grow a round tummy because I'm
overfeeding you and you're not a gym member
Pholo: I'm going to join the Sunday league, i was
waiting for my contact lenses.
Maid: Good for you... Gape you said they gave
you a Tshirt right? I think they want you to wear
it. Let me iron it for you.
Pholo: Thanks a lot
Maid: It's my job...

She ironed the Tshirt then he got dressed and

left...

At Terry's mother's...

Terry walked in and sat on the chair while his

mother laid on the bed, his daughter got on tje
bed and laid next to her granny...as much as
she wanted to downplay her condition he could
tell she wasn't well... It was unlike her not to
cook, she'd be too tired to do anything but never
tire about cooking..
Terry: How are you?
Her: I'm fine...
Terry: You're losing weight... And you're always
laying down whenever i come here.
Her: It's nothing...

His eyes moved to her table full of pills..

Terry: Please talk to me...

Her: You have a daughter whose mother isn't no
more, that means you can't afford me anymore...
I just need to die because I am an expense...
The remaining breast has a tumour too..i felt
something on my neck too. I felt it months ago
but there is no use... I know they will only give
me chemo and do nothing. Pholo left and there
is a new doctor who doesn't like black people...
I don't know where he comes from but he can
even insult us... I don't know if the hospital is
aware that he does that to patients in
Letsholathebe.
Terry: Cancer Association will help speed your
surgery, they will even take you to private
hospitals around the country
Her: I need to die..
Terry: Get ready, I'm taking you to the hospital...

She slowly got up got ready as Terry walked out

and dialled Momo...

Momo: Hello?
Terry: Hi, i need a favour
Momo: Yes
Terry: I need someone to watch my daughter for
a few hours, I'm taking my mother to the
hospital
Momo: I'm on my way to a party... Don't you
have female cousins?
Terry: It's ok, I'll go with her. Can i see you
tonight?
Momo: I don't think so, I'll be exhausted.
Terry: Are you giving me a cold shoulder?
Momo: Did you kill her?
Terry: What? What makes you think that
Momo: I know she was annoying and violent
Terry: So i killed her?
Momo: Just asking
Terry: I didn't kill her, i expected the police to
say that and even question everything at the
scene but i didn't expect that from you.
Momo: Ok, bye
Terry: Momo?
She cut the call, he sighed and supported his
mother to the car.....

At the party...

Later on Pholo, Itai and Yaone waved at a waiter,

he walked over and got their glasses, Itai got
one then Yaone grabbed one too...

Yaone: Thanks
Waiter: Sure

They carried on watching the new cologne

being launched displayed on the screen.. Three
ladies walked in their evening dresses, he
recognised Warona before noticing Momo
behind her, his heart skipped and he took a sip
to keep calm. Warona's eyes stopped at him
and she smiled surprised and waved at him, but
looked away and took a sip.

Yaone: I have to admit it, you have a good taste

in women. You never disappoint
Itai: They just love doctors
Pholo: Actually they love bad boys... I always
see women claiming to be abused by the same
guys they don't want to leave..
How many women trended because of abusive
men and they ended forgiving and even
defending? One girl once told me I'm boring
because i never get angry or beat her, she said
she needed a real man. And i was just 20 by
then...
Itai: He has a point, as a guy who never fights or
argue with a woman I'm telling you sometimes
they even call us gay for being too soft.

They cracked laughing out loud..

Yaone: Ok, yes most women love bad boys but

mature women love men who respect women
and want a family. I know others will run around
sleeping with everything then try to settle when
they're beat up and with more than a normal
baggage but we still have women who want
respect and love..
Pholo: And its neither of those two... Momo
wants to use Warona to make me pay for
divorce, Warona is going to demand my kids
because she can't have her own.. And i hate
both of them for that.
Yaone: What if she doesn't know? Either way
listen... That girl likes you... You really need to
get laid...
Pholo: I get laid, thank you very much.
Itai: A blow job is not getting laid but ok.
Pholo: Who said i get blow jobs, wa phapha mr..

Warona walked over...

Warona: Hi... Can we talk?

Pholo: About what?
Warona: In private

He sighed and walked away leaving his drink...

Yaone: Bring that pill..

Itai: Are you sure about this?
Yaone: Yes, bring!
Itai took out a pill, Yaone pressed it with a
spoon and it turned into powder then he
dropped all of it into Pholo's drink and shook
the glass before innocently leaning back.

Meanwhile Pholo looked at her hatefully...

Warona: I'm just wondering, did i do something

wrong? The last time we talked you were nice to
me, next thing you dissappear, i sent you a
message on Facebook trying to check on you
but you ignored me. Right now i just greeted
you with my friends and you didn't respond... I
was even going to introduce you to them as
someone who helped my cancer get caught
right on time but... I don't understand, did i do
something wrong?
Pholo: You were going to introduce me to your
friends? Those ladies?
Warona: Yes, that lady was my fan. She helped
me get a job and I'm currently staying at her
house. Month end I'm moving out though... The
other is her sister.. Did i do something wrong?

His glabella dropped and he sighed rubbing his

mouth...

Pholo: No, you did nothing wrong... I'm sorry.

Warona: Then why do you hate me?
Pholo: I don't... Trust me...

The MC introduced Warona and she smiled

waving..

Warona: I have to go,

She hurried to the mic, Pholo walked back to
the table and grabbed his glass ,he took a sip
as his brother and friend looked at one another
and smiled at one another.

At the party...

Later that evening the crowd clapped as a

group of women took it to the dance floor
holding their glasses... Wantlha joined them in
her high heels as they swung their hips side to
side then she walked back to Momo and
Warona who were just smiling and cheering,
she pulled her sister as she reluctantly stood up
and joined them to shy to dance as everyone
cheered, cameras turned to her and flashed...

She finally broke lose and danced as everyone

cheered even louder, a big businessman
struggled to stand from his chair but finally
managed to lift that round stomach up and
joined her on the dance floor... Everyone
cracked laughing out loud and moving back...

Momo smiled looking at him and laughed as

she danced rubbing her butt on him, after all
she was single and honestly she missed this
feeling... She last had it before getting married
and becoming domesticated...

Pholo's smile started at the corner as he

paused sipping inside the glass looking at her
and laughed putting the glass down, other
people joined in dancing...

Some girl walked over and got Itai, he looked at

Pholo and they both grinned like teenage boys
before he let her lead him to the stage...

Some lady at the far corner smiled at Yaone, he

smiled back and raised his glass nodding a little
before taking the last swallow and standing up.

Yaone: God don't let me cheat on my wife... Let

it be a just a dance, i know she is pregnant,
stingy with sex and grumpy but it's the
hormones and i love her...

He walked away pulling the sleeves of his

Tshirt..
Pholo: Wow really? I'm sending Renei a picture
of you dancing with a beautiful woman...

Yaone turned around tipsy and smiled with

sleepy eyes as he gave him the middle finger
and kept on walking, the lady smiled putting her
hand on his then he pulled her up and put his
arm around her waist as they danced joking the
crowd....

Pholo looked at Warona as she smiled taking a

video of the girls while sitted. She stood up and
took them from another angle as they danced
with their partners...

Pholo scanned her body hugging dress going

up her waist upto her cleavage, Peo's ma was
still fine...contrary to his belief she seemed soft
spoken... And open too since she talked to him
when she was bothered... When she turned their
eyes met and locked, he'd normally look away
but not this time... He just stared at her...

Meanwhile Warona looked right back at him, it

was so hard to predict what he was thinking but
guess it wasn't anything positive since she lost
weight and he seemed annoyed with her, she
turned back to the girls taking a video...

Mc: I see, so you don't want the party to end?

We should have been done an hour back...

Everyone just kept dancing...

Pholo took the last sip and stood up, he walked

towards Warona who was busy taking a video
and giving Wantlha a thumbs up, he stopped
behind her.

Warona felt something hard on her butt and

turned her head, he took her phone and led her
to the dance floor where he slid it in his pocket
and held her waist as they danced...

The DJ put a slow dance...

Mc: Last one then we go..

Momo put her arms over the big guy as he

smiled holding her...

Him: My name is Big T

Momo: Momo...
Him: O borechana morobanyana..

Momo almost laughed out loud, i mean it wasn't

that deep for her... It was just a dance..

Big T: Pick a place..

Momo: A what?
Big T: Any place you'd like to see..
Momo: Cape Town?
Big T: Let's go to the lounge area so we can
book the flight tickets, I'll transfer your spending
money to you in case you feel insecure.
Momo: You're serious?

He held her hand and they walked out and

headed to the car...
Big T: Can we go to the hotel? Not for sex, I'm
tired... Came to Maun for this
Momo: My house is fine, where are you from?
Big T: Ftown....
Momo: Must have been a long drive
Big T: I flew here, i have my little bird for quicker
travels... Let's go to a hotel, i don't like going to
people's house. Maybe your boyfrien-
Momo: I'm single... I don't feel safe in a hotel
either especially with a stranger
Big T: Whatever you want is fine..let's order
food first, I'm starving...

They walked towards the car and got then drove

off...
At the party...

Back at the party the slow song ended as Pholo

looked in her eyes, she smiled and stepped
back then her eyes dropped to his pants and
almost popped...

Everyone turned and looked at him, guys

chuckled including his brother and friend then
he dropped his eyes and looked at his pants, his
face dropped and his eyes popped wide open
as he put his hand over his hard boner...

Dj: Temshit!

Man: O poo morena!

Yaone: (laughed) He is my brother, ladies I'm
like that too...

Pholo glared at him and walked out with his

hand over his boner as he ran to the car, he
unlocked and jumped in then took a deep
breath and sighed he pulled his pants down in
the privacy of the car and looked at his dick...
He didn't remember seeing it like this... Just
rubbing against Warona? He grabbed it just to
check the hardness then Warona leaned in
knocking..

She mouth dropped seeing him, was he giving

himself a handjob...

Warona: I'm sorry! I didn't... I thought maybe

you'll need water i see you needed to relief
yourse-
Pholo: I wasn't giving myself a handjob, i have
somebody for that.

She paused..

He noticed what just came out of his mouth...

One of the reasons he hated taking more than 2
glasses! Words just come out of his mouth.

Pholo: I didn't mean it like that...

Warona: This is getting awkward, I have to go

He stepped out of the car and grabbed her hand,

she turned around and sighed to speak but he
kissed her, French kissed her and picked her up
walking to the car, he opened the door and put
her at the back then he got in, he saw his
brother and Itai approaching, he got out and
closed her inside then he got in the drivera side
and drove off as they threw their arms
confused..

Yaone: The fuck?! Pholo wee!

He drove off..

At Pholo's House...

Minutes later he unlocked the door and they

walked in silently, he locked it again as they
stood in the dark..

Pholo: Take off your shoes, no noise the kids

are sleeping.
She took off her shoes as he did his then they
tiptoed to his room where he closed the door
and turned to her for a kiss as they dropped on
the bed, he pushed his pants down and his
black machine dropped on her thigh, he moved
closer kissing her forcing her to lay on her back
aa his mushroom head blocked her panties..

Warona: Phol i can't... I just did a surgery 6

weeks back.
Pholo: (panting) You've healed, it takes 6 weeks
Warona: My thingy has shrunk... Because of-
Pholo: i know the side effects... I'll be careful..

He kissed her and pushed her pěntis aside as

her heart pounded, she closed her legs but he
pressed his body down her forcing her legs to
open, of course a condom did cross his mind
but the hunger was too much, alcohol rushing
through his body , his heart pounding and he

He kissed her and pushed her pěntis aside as

her heart pounded, she closed her legs but he
pressed his body down her forcing her legs to
open, of course a condom did cross his mind
but the hunger was too much, alcohol rushing
through his body , his heart pounding and he
had to be inside there, right now!! he kissed her
panting and blocked her then he gently ran
between her flaps before pressing his dick head
down...

Her little pussy stretched to its last possible

limit and he still couldn't penetrate, he pushed
harder and she flinched tearfully...

Warona: Pholooo..
Pholo: Relax...

Still laying on top of her he stretched his arm

and opened a drawer for a his Bj lub then he
squeezed a some and massaged his dick
looking down her, yeah he was about to fuck
her really good...

He leaned back and spread her legs exposing

her pussy, he pressed both pussy lips with his
fingers exposing her tiny little hole... Well it
couldn't even open but he knew the pussy was
there somewhere between that pink flesh, he
gently massaged her pussy with the lub and
paused staring at it just admiring it... So
beautiful too...

He got up and kissed her placing his shiny

mushroom head over her birdeye and pressed
down while kissing her, he stretched her almost
tearing her as her cry escaped through the kiss
of their lips...

Warona: Please stop, ga thama...

His heart pounded over her, his brains running

straight to his dick as he leaned over and kissed
her again, he just needed the head in just to get
a little relief...
He guided his dick down her birdeye again and
arched lowered his body between her legs as
she slid her hand between their bodies and
blocked her bruised entrance...

Warona: Kante why o fosa o bona gore ga

thama! What is wrong with you?

She put her hand on his chest and his heart was
pounding full-speed as he breathing...

He got off her tearfully and sat on the edge of

the bed with his dick standing right up, if this
wasn't bad luck... The one time he gets offered
a good pussy he doesn't fit, knowing he had at
least 4 hours in his condition didn't make this
easier...
She closed her legs and sat up looking at him,
was he crying for sex? Wow..

She got off the bed and knelt between his legs
then she threw her head back pushing it back
and grabbed his dick, filled her hand and the
veins were running all over it... She leaned over
opening her mouth and graced him with
warmth...

Pholo: fuckkkkk....

He held her into a fist and begun moving his

waist, but doing it while standing wasn't so
comfortable so he stood up and grabbed her
hair pulling her head over..
The sweeter it got the deeper he went poking
that little thing dangling at the back of her
throat making her choke, her stomach lifted and
she grabbed his thighs pushing him out as she
felt vomit coming up her throat, but he wouldn't
let go and it splashed out even through her
nose while his dick was still in there..

Pholo: Awww fuck....

He pushed her head back and she grasped for

air then he slapped her breast and twisted her
nipple before picking her up by her throat and
pushing her against the wall looking in her
eyes...

Pholo: Look at me..

She looked in his eyes breathing heavily, she
wasn't sure what was turning her on, the
change in his personality or not knowing what
was next or if she will survive until morning...

Pholo: Pick your pěntis and run if you don't want

this...

He let go of her neck and she swallowed staring

at him standing there, he pushed her down and
slapped her side to side with his heavy meat as
she closed her eyes.. He slid it in her mouth and
gently fucked her mouth, his felt that cum
rushing through his dick and shoved it down her
throat before pausing and pumping inside her
while her eyes popped wide open choking, he
slid out and sighed as she closed her mouth
choking, she could taste a bit of his cum but the
rest he had pumped directly down her throat...
He picked her up and carried her to the shower...

Minutes later they walked out after having a

shower, she noticed he still had a boner.. He
leaned over kissing her laying her on her back
then he knelt between her legs and leaned over
kissing her pussy, he French kissed the pussy
that gave him babies...

Warona's heart begun pounding as his tongue

massaged her clit, she closed her eyes and
curled her toes as Pholo ate that pussy holding
her thighs apart..

Warona: Aw.... Aw... Aw

It got so good she closed his head between her

legs limiting his breathing but he kept that
tongue working, as some point he slipped it
right in her pussy and wiggled it inside as she
moaned then he slid out and gently sucked that
click before flicking it with his tongue...

Warona: Aww my God... Aw my God.. Aw my-

She stuck her nails on his biceps and froze as

she orgasmed...

At Pholo's House...

The next morning the maid opened the door

carrying a load of his folded Tshirts, she paused
staring at Pholo and an unfamiliar woman...
Well she looked like Peo, she slowly stepped
back and silently pulled the door without fully
closing it out of the fear of waking them. Could
she have been the baby mama? He never talked
about the mother of his children...

She walked in the living room and put the

clothes on the couch while the nanny fed the
children...

Maid: Don't let them go to his room, there is a

woman in there.
Nanny: Are you sure? He never brings women
here
Maid: I think she is their mother, she looks like
Peo.. Ba tshwana gore.
Nanny: So she suddenly decided to see her
children after so long? Some women are
irresponsible, imagine the burden rragwe Peo
has to go through parenting alone.
Maid: And then she walks in and out of his life
like she wants, uh banyana ba lucky wena..

Meanwhile in the bedroom Warona opened her

eyes and looked at the time, she was late for
her first day at work! And her throat hurt when
she swallowed...

Warona: Pholo? Pholo? Take me home.

He opened his eyes, his eyes popped surprised

as he looked at her and sat up...

Pholo: Shit!
Warona: What?
Pholo: Nothing...

So it wasn't a dream, he got up and put on his

pants... Everything came back to him... That
unnecessary force when he laid between her
legs, pushing through almost tearing her when
he didn't fit... And doing a deepthroat on an
inexperienced somebody like her. This was a
dark fantasy he didn't want her knowing...Guilt
came over him as he looked at her...

Pholo: Are you OK?

Warona: My throat is painful but I'm fine.
Pholo: I swear I'm not the guy you spend the
night with... I had too much to drink and my
brother spiked my drink, that's why I had to do
bo deepthroat, thighfuck and everything in
between... Ne kesa itire. I was drunk and
drugged and..
Warona: It's ok, please take me home... I'm late
for work..

The door pushed open and Peo walked in

dragging her father's vest from the laundry,
Warona's mouth dropped as she smiled
emotionally...

Warona: She looks so pretty... Come here..

She got off the bed and picked her up as Peo

smiled, Pholo took a deep breath and sighed
staring at them as Warona tickled her by
blowing her stomach, Peo cracked laughing out
even drooling, Yame walked in and laughed
looking up before holding Warona's foot
wanting the same tickles.. Warona sat on the
bed and put each one them on her lap then she
tickled them one after the other filling the room
with laughter...

He grabbed his phone and took a video of her

standing behind her without her noticing
anything as she tickled the babies then he put it
in his pocket.

Pholo: Alright let's go..

She stood up granting carrying both of them...

Warona: Can you go with them to drop me off?

Pholo: Sure
Warona: I wish i had kids...i hope any woman
out there who has a child the regret having
because they feel it was with the wrong person..
I really hope they appreciate being mothers
because sometimes waiting is waiting for
diseases that will cost you ever being a mom.
Pholo: I understand what you mean...

They walked out as Warona carried the children

and headed to the sitting room where the nanny
and the maid were..

Warona: Dumelang

Nanny: Ee mma
Maid: Ee

The helpers watched the whole family walk out

and looked at one another.

At Yaone's House..

His wife opened the door and looked in his eyes

but he looked down shamefully...

Her: So you've started coming home at 7

o'clock in the morning? Who is she
Yaone: I was with Pholo, we passed out drunk...

She walked to the bedroom and dialled Pholo

on loudspeaker...

Pholo: Hi Renei
Her: Hi, were you with your brother all night?
Pholo: Which brother? The one that spiked my
drink? No i wasn't with him... He is lying... Mpee

Yaone smiled and laughed...

Pholo: That thing wasn't with me, o mo betse

dancing with a cute girl at the party.

Yaone: (laughed) So this is about the pill? I was

helping you.
Pholo: O too swaba... Renei he was with me,
don't stress the baby please...
Renei: I just wanted to be sure
Pholo: He was with me, he just left.
Her: (smiled ) Bye
Pholo:Bye

She hung up and rolled her eyes blushing aa he

laughed.

At Momo's House...

Momo walked out of the bedroom and sat on

Big T's lap before leaning over and kissing him...

Momo: Thanks for last night.

There was a knock but the door opened before

she could get up from Big T or respond...

Terry walked in, he frowned as Momo stood up

and walked over to him...
Terry: Don't fucking touch me, who is that?
Momo: What are you doing here?
Terry: (to him). Who the hell are you?

Big T: Small boy have respect..

Terry: Kare o mang, kante you're the one giving
me STDs ka bo mdala?
Big T: Don't talk to me like that...
Terry: Did you sleep with him?
Momo: Terry please leave...

Meanwhile outside Pholo parked the car and

stepped out leaving all windows open and the
twins in the their seats. Warona smiled and
waved at them..
Warona knocked and walked in with Pholo
behind her, Pholo picked the beef between
Terry and whoever that man was, he looked at
Momo's fearful face..

Warona: (smiled) Hello everyone

There was silence..

Momo: Hi

Pholo: Get your things, o tago aparela ko game...

Warona quickly headed to the bedroom,

meanwhile Momo's heart pounded as all three
men stood in the middle of the house.
Warona hurried back, Pholo got her bag and
escorted her out putting his hand on her back.

Warona: We will talk Momo, bye

The door closed, Big T struggled to get up then

Terry walked over and kicked him down...

Terry: I'm still talking to you.

rushed straight to his heart as he leaned back
and put up his hands...

Terry: I'm talking to you, what are you doing with

my girlfriend?
Big T: I'm sorry, i didn't know she has a
boyfriend...there was no way i would have
known if she didn't want to be honest with me.
Either way I'm sorry, i respect myself and I will

stood by folding her arms...

Momo: He is not my boyfriend... We broke up

Big T: Don't ever talk to me, i can not afford to
have this kind of drama around me. I am one
person who walks away from drama, i run away
from drama, unfortunately there are women like
you who know very well they're dating guys like
this then invite me to your house...

He struggled to stand and finally did then he got

his phone dialled someone...

Big T: Can I stand outside for a few minutes and

call my secretary to organise my transport?
Terry kept quiet...

Momo: No problem, I'm very sorry

Terry: Don't start...

Big T walked out as his secretary picked...

Him: Sir
Big T: Listen, I'm stuck somewhere in Maun, get
the IT guy to track my phone so you can find me.
Him: Can't you direct me?
Big T: I came last night and it was dark
Him: Alright.. 2 minutes
Big T: Sure

He hung up and walked towards the tree. Terry

closed the door and turned around looking at
her...

Terry: What exactly do you want from a man for

you to be faithful?
Momo: You're not my boyfriend Terry
Terry: Don't go that far, i won't be your toy
anymore.. You can't use me anymore..

The baby begun crying in the car..

Momo: You left your daughter in the car?

Terry: Ne o bata ke reng because i could tell you
had someone in here since you didn't want to
pick my calls.. Koore wena even if someone has
good news you just have to ruin it... I won a half
a million subcontract for plumbing the new
houses for a property company, i know I've been
broke for a long time this is my time to show
you how much I love you... I'm going to pay my
Pholo back, pay for the last surgery for my
mother... And the good thing is that this time i
had opened a medical aid for her so I'll afford it
with this half a million..

Meanwhile outside the baby continued crying

as Big T stood there, he noticed the familiar
company name on the door of Terry's car but he
wasn't sure where he saw it so he knocked on
the door and stuck his head in.

Big T: Ngwana wa lela..

Momo: Thank you..

He closed the door and stood outside waiting.

Terry walked out and got her from the car seat
while Momo stood at his doorstep...

The secretary drove through and parked next to

Terry's car...

Secretary: Oh you knew Mr Therisano before

picking them for the subcontract?
Big T: The what?
Secretary: This is the company you awarded the
subcontract to help us complete our tender..
You don't know him..

Terry's heart skipped as he held his daughter

looking at both of them. Momo frowned
confused...

Big T: Oh.... This is the director of the plumbing

company i just gave a half a million subcontract?
Secretary: Yes... Kana gase gone?

Terry swallowed as his heart pounded....

Secretary: Or maybe he is just a worker there

but that's tge company, i recognise that logo,
and the company ia from Maun.

Big T: (laughed) "This is a wow" as my

granddaughter says... Let's go..

He got in the back and closed the door as Terry

stood there, then he walked over as the
secretary started the car...

Terry: Can we talk for a minute?

Big T: Expect an assault charge and forget the
half a million...

Big T rolled up the window and thy drove off as

Momo stood at the stoop..

Momo: Wa bona akere boganka ha bo busetse

sepe?

Terry walked in the house and put his daughter

down then he headed to the bathroom where he
closed the door.

Momo looked at his daughter with tears that

dried on her cheeks, she looked hungry and her
full diaper was pulling down her tights even
leaking and wetting her tights.
She walked to the bedroom and knocked..

Momo: Go clean your daughter

Terry: (sniffles) Ema pele
Momo: She is messing my couch, i don't want
my house smelling.
Terry: 5 minutes...

She sighed and walked back where she picked

the remote and watched her series, the little girl
looked at the plate with leftovers on the table
and swallowed, Momo looked at her and sighed
then she went to the kitchen and dished for her.

The girl finished the whole plate and began

pooping in her already full diaper, that smell!?
For a moment Momo wondered if she'd ever be
a mother if this is what it's all about. She laid
her down and took off her diaper then Terry
walked out with reddish eyes...

Terry: I have to go find that man, where does he

stay?
Momo: I don't know

He walked out and drove off as Momo stepped

out carrying the dirty baby...

Momo: Terry ngwana!

Terry's car disappeared into a dust of cloud...

Momo looked at his daughter and sighed before
taking her to the bathroom for warm bath then
she washed her dirty clothes too...
Inside Terry's car...

Meanwhile Terry's phone rang...

Terry: Hello?
Voice: This is Maikemisetso in Letsholathebe
hospital, how far are you from the hospital?
Terry: What's going on?
Voice: The doctor needs to see you
Terry: I'm kind of held up, what's going on? Is
my mother OK?
Voice: She is being transferred to Nyangabwe in
ftown. Her condition is getting worse
Terry: Ok, I'll come by. Bye

He hung up and dialled Momo...

Momo: Elethe rra, you left your baby
Terry: Can i please have that guy's number,
please....please, my life depends on it. I haven't
had a serious tender in over 2 years.
Momo: He said I must delete his number

A call from a landline came through then he

hung up and picked..

Terry: Hello?
Voice: This is Maun police, is this Therisano?
Terry: Yes?
Him: Morena I'm with someone here by the
same of Thobela, do you mind coming over? If
you don't have transport i can send the boys in
blue to bring you in
Terry: I'll be there in 2 minutes.

He hung up and sped up.

At the police station...

Later on Terry walked in a room with two police

officers, he took a seat and sighed...

Police: It's Therisano?

Terry: Ee rra.. Where is the complainant? I
thought he will be here so I can apologise for
the misunderstanding
Police:So you assaulted him?
Terry: Yes, tota nkase ganetse, ke mo diretse
phoso.. O kae?
Police: Aren't you on bail for assaulting the
mother of your child?
Terry: I keep telling you people that time Tumi
attacked me, the magistrate doesn't believe me,
nobody believes gender based violence can be
a woman beating a man, why?
Police: The bottom line is you're on probation,
one of your conditions was that you shouldn't
assault anyone for a period of 2 years or you'll
spend a year in prison akere?
Terry: Yes but-
Police: Good, that means you're getting arrested
and you'll serve your sentence ya 1 year in
prison, the charge sheet for assaulting Big T will
find you in our custody...

At Momo's House...

Momo stared at the baby sleeping on the towel,

she got her phone and typed..

Momo: Do you realise that I'm with your

daughter and she doesn't have diapers? Not
even milk. I don't even know her name, not that
she is crying but please don't do this to me. I'm
on a leave, i want to enjoy my Strongbow in
peace.

She put down her phone and sighed, then a

message buzzed her phone..

Terry: Was on a 1 year probation, that man

reported me so I'm going to jail for violating my
probation conditions. Please take care of my
daughter, i will make it up to you when i get out.
I will get out of your life and never talk to you. If
you can't help, please involve social workers so
she can be taken to a home, Tumi's family
doesn't want to help and my mother is in a
critical condition. I am sorry for all the trouble i
brought into your life. I've just lost everything
because of my temper. I love you, it's ok if you
don't love me though, I'm not loveable, guess
I'm only good for sex.

She dialled his number and it was off, he was

probably lying.. She got dressed and dressed
the baby then she drove off..
At the police station...

Minutes later she carried the little girl in the

police station and stopped a police officer
passing by..

Momo: Hi, i need to confirm something... The

father of this little girl is like a friend he sent me
a message that he was in police custody and he
will going to jail, so I'm trying to find out if it's
true or he is tricking me into babysitting his
daughter because he has asked me to do it
before.
Him: Come this way... There ia someone who
has just been detained, I'm not sure if it's him.
Sit down ill confirm...
She sat down and put the baby on her lap.. The
little girl fell asleep and laid her head on her
chest, Momo held her properly and rocked her
back and forth...

Officer: (walked back) He is right, he is in our

holding cell waiting to be taken to prison.

A cold chill ran down her spine as she looked at

the police officer..

Officer: Maa?
Momo: Thank you.

She picked the baby and walked out...

Minutes later she walked in the shop carrying

her while she was still sleeping and double
heavy, she picked a few clothes, diapers got
stuck at the formula... She wasn't even sure
about her age for her to pick the right formula.
Would the police even give her the house keys
to his house so she gets the baby's card for the
clinic checkups... It was worth a try. After
paying she got in the car and sighed typing...

Momo: I'm looking for a babysitter, it's just one

toddler, you come to work at quarter to 7
because i must leave at 7. You knock off at half
5 and you get weekends off unless it's
necessary.

She included her number and posted

anonymously in the groups. She reversed and
drove off as calls came through....
At the airport coffee shop...

Meanwhile Maya's heart pounded as she

stopped the car and checked her app.

Secretary: His flight is about to leave in 30

minutes.
Maya: I'm here, thank you for letting me
interrupt his tea
Secretary: You begged me too much and I don't
want to feel like I'm blocking your doors.

Maya stepped out and walked towards the cafe,

she took a deep breath walking towards big T's
table as he hummered a plate of ribs, pizza on
the side... Friend chicken and chips and a litre
of coke...
She stopped and smiled...

Maya: Mr T, my name is Maya, do you mind if i

join you?
Big T: Sure, sit down..

She pulled her chair and sat down then she

placed her business documents on the table...

Maya: I know that for big companies to help

smaller people they also need to have
something to gain even if it's publicity or
something... I'm not an influencer with
thousands of fans for you to benefit something
from but-
Big T: (chewing) What do you want?
Maya: I... I understand that you've been awarded
the tender for the construction of Maun's
biggest mall so-
Big T- Morobanyana o batang? Big terms and
long sentences just annoy me.
Maya: Can you allow me to brand the mall? I
know there are big companies with good
references that have branded malls like Game
city, airport Junction,

Tears filled her eyes and she swallowed as her

hands shook...

Maya: I can do this... I am good, and you can

even-

Big T licked his finger tips and put a fist over his
mouth burping then he picked her documents...
Big T: Ok, I'll hold on to this. If you don't hear
from me don't call for feedback. Silence is
feedback too.
Maya: I understand, thank you. And sorry for
interrupting your meals. I waited all night at the
hotel hoping to see you but you weren't there
and the security asked me to leave.
Big T: Ok, how about you start small... Branding
our construction site?

She covered her mouth with both hands as

tears filled her eyes...

Maya: You're giving the contract or I'll be

competing for it? My company has no reference
an-
Big T: I want to see what you're capable of... It's
yours, and I like your determination. My
secretary will call you for further details, bye
Maya: Bye

Maya stood up and walked out holding in her

excitement, she wanted to scream and jump...
But of course not in front of everyone....

At Warona's office...

Later on Warona followed the company

secretary into her new office..

Her: They will bring you a computer tomorrow,

but this is your office... There is a staff meeting
tomorrow, that's when you'll be introduced to
the rest of the team.
Warona: Thank you...
She walked out, Warona closed the door and
sighed smiling then she dialled her aunt..

Her: Hi
Warona: Maun is treating me so well, i have two
best friends and my crush today showed a little
care about me...
Her: Who is this crush?
Warona: He is a single father of two, he has
cute kids and I just love them... We tried to-you
know, and it didn't fit, it hurt so bad.. I'm going
to see a doctor to see how much I've reduced
down there.
Her: this better not chase all men away
Warona: And I've lost hope already (footsteps
approached) , someone is coming bye
She hung up and smiled as another worker
walked in carrying a sealed box...

Her: Hi, this is for you. He says you're expecting

this package

She frowned confused and the lady walked

outside, she removed the sellotape covering the
box and opened it, she smiled looking at a
picture of herself carrying both of his children..
She picked a note and read it smiling...

Dear new woman in my life,

I know this is awkward but that picture is very

special to me, i know its special for you too
though you might not know how deep it goes
now... Please keep it in your office or house,
whatever people tell you about it believe them.
Will you be my date tonight? I haven't taken a
woman out on a date in a long time.

Love,
Pholo.

She smiled and typed a message..

Warona: How is 7pm?

Pholo: 7 it is. See you later

She smiled blushing...

At Momo's House...
Later that evening Momo tucked in the baby
and switched off the lights before heading to
her room exhausted, she slid in bed and sighed
laying on her back then her phone rang.

Momo: Hello?
Pholo: Was worried about you and the situation
you were in this morning, how are you?
Momo: I'm fine, Terry is in prison for assaulting
my guest. He was on probation.
Pholo: As long as you're fine I'm happy
Momo: Thanks for checking on me
Pholo: Sure,
Momo: So, you and Warona?
Pholo: I'd rather not talk about it.
Momo: Do you love her?
Pholo: I don't want to discuss her because I'm
trying to build a solid foundation, and because
of that tomorrow I'm going to tell her the truth
about who you're to me. Goodnight
Momo: Wait-

He cut the call and she sighed laying down

thoughtfully...

At dinner...
Later that evening Pholo picked the glass of
wine and sipped looking at Warona as she
leaned over and took a bite of her steak, for
some reason her reaction after this didn't
matter that much... Of course he wanted her to
stay but even if she left, After all he hadn't
bonded with her that much, which is just the
right time to bring all the deal breakers on the
table and set the rules...

Pholo: Aren't you curious to know who my wife

is and why we got divorced?

She looked up at him and smiled blushing...

Warona: I assumed you'd tell me when you're

ready... We've only been together for a day so i
don't want to make you uncomfortable.

He nodded his head staring at her, there was no

way this girl was going to be faithful with so
much popularity.. What the hell was he doing...
He sighed and leaned back fighting his
thoughts... Part of him knew it was just the
effects of being cheated, he had to remain
positive...

Pholo: Mokgabo is my ex wife...

Warona stopped chewing and looked at him, he

looked right back at her and sipped his wine
relaxed...

Warona: Momo?
Pholo: Yeah
Warona: I don't understand... She told me to say
hi to you when I told her I'm like you
Pholo: She did?

For some reason this stung a bit, she cared so

little about him she didn't even mind him
sleeping with her friend when it was never easy
to see her with Terry, ok.

Warona: Why did you divorce?

Pholo: I got diagnosed with diabetes, i knew at
some point i might lose my erections and so
this kind of depressed me, then i noticed that i
didn't wake up with my normal morning
erections, i didn't tell her instead i avoided her
because i didn't want her to find out. This drove
her to cheat, she cheated over and over and
over again... (swallowed and sipped) When i
couldn't take it anymore i left...
Warona: I don't understand, so when did you
have children and with whom?
Pholo: Um... I'm not ready to talk about that one.
Warona: Ok, i respect that. So why did she lie to
me?
Pholo: I don't know... Just thought you might
want to know the truth before we start dating..
Warona: Thank you for telling me..
Pholo: Sure... Tell me about your ex..
Warona: Why?
Pholo: Because your ex pretty much sums up
your mistakes so i want to measure your
experience, growth and or taste in men.
Warona: So how am i similar to Mokgabo since
she is your taste... Ke raya the cheater..
Pholo: She is intelligent, doesn't matter how
much she makes per month she always cooked
for me, before cheating she tried to fix us... She
tasted the forbidden fruit and got addicted...
With me one mistake doesn't erase the good
someone did prior to their mistake... That's why
i can't hate her. You're obviously a hard worker, i
don't know if you can cook but if you can't it's
still OK, been surviving with a house helper and
what good is it if you can cook but can't cross
your legs. So... (sighed) your ex..
Warona: We were both University students and
we hunted for jobs together, until i gained
followers on social media and started making
money, i guess he got jealous so he'd say all
kinds of things to bring me down, tell me I'm not
that beautiful, accusing me of acting loose by
dancing on social media, he used bad words on
me until i left.. Been alone since. So what do
you want in a relationship? Marriage, children?
Pholo: I don't think I'd get married anytime soon,
I'm still healing, if i do it will be out of
community of property so I can freely leave
when someone disrespects me but I'd definitely
give my wife a reasonable allowance so she can
be secure financially ke raya if she makes less
than me.
Warona: You know i can't have children right?
Both my ovaries were removed because they
were cancerous. It saved my life but took away
my ability to have children...
Pholo: I already have children, but if we ever
want more you can still get pregnant through
IVF.
Warona: (smiled) Really?
Pholo: Yeah, the fertility clinic provides the egg
which is fertilised with my sperm then is placed
inside you, you fall pregnant and deliver like
anyone else.
Warona: Ok, that would be great.. I once
donated eggs by the way, it was back when I
was in university, the clinic says they were
bought. The baby must be 3 years old now
Pholo: There is what we call egg freezing,
maybe your eggs didn't find a buyer right away
and the babies are actually younger than that..
Warona: Yeah, maybe
Pholo: How many eggs did you donate?
Warona: They gave me pills to help me produce
more eggs but they only paid me 5K and told
me i produced one egg.

Wow, they trick girls and get more eggs then

only pay for one since there is no proof of how
many eggs they produced?

Pholo: Ok... So if you ever saw couple that took

your egg, how would you handle the situation?
Warona: There is nothing i can do, it's their child
and i signed a contract... So... Are you still
talking to Momo?
Pholo: Yeah, occasionally... I called her earlier
and asked her how she was doing since she ha
drama this morning.
Warona: I don't date men who are still in
contact with their exs unless it's the mother of
your children le gone you focus on the children.
I cannot afford to be insecure and wonder
what's so funny when you're laughing and
giggling with your ex.. Its a deal breaker for me,
its either me or the ex... Like you said your
peace is everything and so is mine... You can't
be friends with Momo if you're mine...
Pholo: Ok, i won't be friends with her, i won't call
her or have any relationship with her on social
media but if i walked past her I'll say hi, i can't
hate her.

She smiled widely and blushed...

Pholo: What?

She laughed blushing and put her hands over

her face giggling..

Pholo: Did i say something funny?

Warona: No, you're just nice and i love it, you're
very honest too... When you can't do something
you just say it..
Pholo: Oh ok..

They carried on eating and talking in more

detail...

Meanwhile on the lower floor of restaurant

Maya smiled and shook hands with a potential
business partner, then she stood up and walked
away, she almost tripped looking up and
noticed Pholo smiling and laughing with this
other woman... She looked at her, but she
wouldn't turn her face then she finally did, turns
out she was beautiful... But only beautiful if you
haven't seen real beauty, she wasn't that
beautiful... She walked towards the exit and
looked back hoping for an eye contact but he
wasn't aware she was around, she pushed the
door glass door and walked out...

At Momo's House...

Later that evening Momo blew dry the little girl's

hair on a low heat while she laid asleep on the
couch then she begun braiding her hair. Her
phone rang...
Momo: Hello?
Maya: Hi, its Maya... Still angry with me?
Momo: Was never angry, just swept a toxic
friend out of my life.
Maya: I saw Pholo with some woman at the
restaurant, i thought it's you.
Momo: since when osa nkitse? Pholo and I are
divorced.
Maya: Ok, its the lagoon upper deck, he must
really love her to take her to that place. I heard
someone from the party saying Pholo is healed
or he wasn't attracted to you..
Momo: Meaning what?.
Maya: Apparently he was all over this girl people
even laughed and hr walked out with his hand
over his privates.. I've never seen his privates
but the guy who was telling me was shocked
that Pholo is packing. I don't know if it's a lie
not... Anyways enough gossip. There is
something i want to show you...
Momo: What?
Maya: I'll come show you tomorrow. Goodnight
Momo: (rolled her eyes) Bye

She hung up and carried on, ever had someone

call and leave you feeling somehow? This was
that moment... Her evening ruined by one call...
Now she wondered if this was true...

Meanwhile outside Pholo parked the car and

leaned over baby kissing Warona, he reached
over her neck and kissed her even more.. His
meant slowly begun taking up space in his
boxers, he definitely needed a place with her to
open her up and fuc this pussy anytime he
wants... He didn't wait this long to be
restricted...

Warona leaned back, now that she knew what

was going on kissing in front of the house
wasn't comfortable but Pholo leaned over and
kissed her again putting his hand under her skirt
then she grabbed his hand..

Warona: Ok, goodnight...

He leaned back and scratched his head, it was

too early to ask her to move in but he wasn't
going to let anyone beat him to tearing this
pussy, all his dark fantasies ran through his
mind... And she seemed so submissive he'd do
anything to her. He reached in the pocket and
took out his wallet then he handed her his
ATM... His entertainment savings all gone... But
as they say, if you're not ready to spend you'll
eat the leftovers.. Except if you're married to
Momo of course, but she won't paint the whole
gender, it still felt good to give.

Pholo: Get a house and move out. I don't think

I'll feel comfortable coming over.
Warona: Thank you..
Pholo: I'll send you the pin

He kissed her then she got out.

Warona: Goodnight stallion

Pholo: (smiled cluelessly) Why are you calling
me a stallion?
Warona: Just.. Goodnight
Pholo: Goodnight... Ta o ntshube pele..
She sighed and walked over to the drivers side
then she kissed him. He put his hand outside
the car and groped her as

Meanwhile Momo stepped out with a plastic of

hair and threw in the bin, she looked at them as
their lips parted then Pholo started the car and
drove off...

Warona walked over carrying a small gift bag..

Momo: Hi...
Warona: Hi..

They got in and closed the door...

Warona: He told me the truth

Momo: I didn't want to seek bitter by telling you
and turning you off.
Warona: Ok, but I'm moving out tomorrow
because things are awkward now.
Momo: Have you had sex?
Warona: I'm not discussing my sex life with you
Momo: What changed? (noticed his card in her
hand) his ATM card? You're very fast aren't
you...
Warona: Don't do that... It will not end well for
you. You fooled me and its not funny, our
friendship was fake
Momo: What's that supposed to mean? I just
asked you a simple question as a friend, did you
have sex and now we are fighting?
Warona: Yes we had sex Momo that's why I'm
not walking properly,we both know he is a
horse... Is there anything else you want to know
after fooling me?

She turned around and walked to the bedroom,

Momo slowly sat down and sighed.... She
blinked several times and carried the baby to
her room... After that she knocked on the other
bedroom and walked in after a response.

Momo: Your food is in the kitchen...

Warona: Thank you...

She went to the sitting room where she

watched TV, Warona passed by and a few
minutes passed while she was inside.

In the kitchen, Warona drunk water then she

looked at the food suspiciously, she thought
she was full but her appetite was way high...
Momo: I wouldn't poison you now when I could
have done it back when you didn't know who i
am.

Warona turned around and looked at her as she

walked in...

Momo: I know you're hungry... I want Pholo to

move on and be happy so I can stop feeling
guilty.. Ke mogo neetse because him and i
didn't work out.
Warona: Gawa mo nneela o mpatile
Momo: I wasn't even your fan to begin with, i
contacted you because-yes he wanted you but
he thought if you knew about your children
you'd take them away from him since surrogacy
has no laws. He was never gonna talk to you
that's why he ignored you the whole year. I
made you Warona and I can easily break you.
Leave my house properly ska nkgakgahalla ke
go thabolotse....

Warona paused holding a plate and looked at

her...

Warona: My what? Children?

Momo paused, her heart skipped as she

covered her mouth guessing they didn't go that
far.

Warona: What do you mean my children?

At Momo's House...

Momo: I'm not going to answer your questions

akere you walked in here with an attitude.
Warona: What attitude you lied to me the entire
time i thought we were friends and I'm
supposed to just act normal?
Momo: I asked you a simple question it's not
like we have never talked about guys and sex

Warona paused talking, stunned and

dumbfounded putting her fingers on the sides
of her head trying to think of a better
explanation...

Warona: What is wrong with you? HE IS YOUR

EX HUSBAND! Am i supposed to say he is a
good kisser and his dick didn't fit me??
Seriously what do you want me to think?
Momo: What's wrong with it? It's not like there
is nothing i don't know...I don't understand why
we have to argue about this... I practically gave
you Pholo, he wouldn't have talked to you at all
kooteng ga o itse Pholo. I simply withheld that
little detail so you don't feel awkward about
giving him a chance... Stop acting like I'm a
bitter ex, i approached you for him because i
thought you were good... I hope i didn't make a
mistake.

Warona took a deep breath and sighed folding

her arms looking at her...

Momo: I don't care what your pride tells you, i

went out there and brought you in Maun for
Pholo... I knew he needed time to observe you
because that's just who he is, he is very careful...
I found you a job so you can be independent
and look beautiful for him... Have some kind of
standard because he won't just pick anything...

Warona slowly calmed down and sucked her

lips bitting them thoughtfully as Momo spoke...

Momo: He didn't find you, i found you... So don't

ever think of me as your enemy...

She paused looking at her and noticed a change

in her demeanour....she ran out of words herself
now that Warona was back on earth... There
was silence...

Warona: I'm sorry, I'm just angry that you didn't

tell me..
Momo: If you knew I'm his ex wife would you
have agreed to stay with me?
Warona: I guess not
Momo: There you go...

Warona took a deep breath and looked at her..

Warona: Don't you love him?

Momo: I do but I've hurt him so bad he deserves
better, that's why it will be do disappointing if
you become what I never thought you're. I'm not
saying we should continue being friends, i knew
we will part as soon as you find out but i want
us to part was peacefully. Tsamaya sente hela
o laele
Warona: Ok, i understand... What did you mean
about children?
Momo: Can you go ask him? Tell him everything
that happened and ask him
Warona: Please..
Momo: I don't want it to come from
me...Goodnight

She walked out and headed to the bedroom

where she put on a bonnet and switched off the
lights then she got in bed with the baby.

Meanwhile Warona walked in the living room

and sat down with the food while dialling Pholo.
Pholo: Hello?
Warona: Hi, can we talk?
Pholo: Sure, what's up?
Warona: Can i come over?
Pholo: Sure, ke te go go tsaya?
Warona: Yes... I want us to talk about
something
Pholo: What?
Warona: The children, Momo told me everything.
Pholo: So what exactly do you want to talk
about?

His tone changed so quick her mouth ran dry...

Warona: I just want to understand.

Pholo: I told you I'm not ready to talk about my
children akere? So what exactly do you want?
Don't start something you can't finish Warona a
utwa?
Warona: Why are you getting so defensive? I'm
not-
Pholo: So what do you want?
Warona: Pholo i will never come near your
children if you don't want me to, i just thought
you might want us to talk about it because
Momo didn't go into details. She thought you
told me...I understand you're protective but it
was just a harmless conversation. I will delete
your number if you feel like I'm that type
Pholo: (sighed) No, don't.. I guess I'm just
scared
Warona: There is no need to be... (sighed) Let's
say goodnight, we will talk when you're ready.
Pholo: Ta kwano, I'm sorry... Come... Tomorrow
I'm going back to work so please do come..
Warona: Ok, bye

She hung up and hurried to Momo's room

where she knocked. Momo responded then she
stuck her head inside..

Warona: Hi, do you mind taking me to Pholo's

house?
Momo: I can't leave the baby alone..
Warona: Can't you come with her?
Momo: I'm yet to collect Terry's car and get her
car seat, gaana car seat and i don't want to
wake her. She just slept..
Warona: Fine, thanks. Can you borrow me your
car?
Momo: No, wena ha ole kogo Pholo you come
late and even go to work late. I can't be late
tomorrow
Warona: Ok, goodnight...

She closed the door and walked in her room

dialling him...

At Pholo's House...

Meanwhile Pholo finished brushing his teeth

and got in bed, he could hear the maid cleaning
the house, she preferred to clean at night when
the children were sleeping... But Peo wasn't
sleeping and the nanny was still talking to her, it
was the same fight with her every night...
Wanting to sleep with daddy. His phone rang.

Pholo: Hello?
Warona: I can't come over, Momo says she
can't leave Terry's daughter alone. Can you
come pick me up?
Pholo: Wait. She stays with Terry's daughter?
Warona: Yes

This relationship was serious... Seemed the

deeper he knew about Momo the more he
realised how stupid he was..

Warona: Come pick me

Pholo: These people are still up... Peo wa lela as
usual, I'm taking a break from begging her to
sleep, the helper is also cleaning.
Warona: But i want us to talk, please
Pholo: Ok maybe i should come over then we
talk abe ke boa
Warona: Ok, everyone is sleeping. See you...
Pholo: Sure
He got dressed, opened his first aid box and
popped a pill then he drunk water before putting
another pill in his pocket, he grabbed a tube of
lub then he picked his phone. He sprayed
perfume on him and left.

At Momo's House...

Later that night Warona's phone rang, she got

up and silently walked out of her too to the
living room where she opened the door quietly
without switching the lights on.

Pholo walked in and closed the door then he

cupped her face and kissed her as his pants got
tighter...
Warona: (whispered) Wait... Come.

They held hands and walked to the bedroom...

Meanwhile in Momo's room, she pressed her

phone catching up with the latest gossip on
social media then she heard something... She
stopped pressing and walked to her bedroom
door where she held her breath listening... She
could hear a deep voice whispering, sounded
like Pholo... She went to the window and there
was his car... She took a deep breath and went
back to bed then she heard moaning...

She continued pressing her phone then she

heard the headboard knocking against the wall
rhythmically, her moaning heavily like was now
going deeper. Sweat formed on her forehead as
she laid on her back staring in the dark...
Warona: (whispered) Pholo wait!!

She heard footsteps and they banged the door

before the rhythmic moaning carried on...

At Momo's House...

Pholo held her closer thrusting between her

legs, he pushed further and #Removed she felt
her skin tear and flinched hitting the door as his
Dk dropped...

She turned around crossing her legs as she

dropped to her knees.. Pholo pulled her up one
with one hand while the other massaged his
veined meat...

Pholo: (softly) Bubu? Stand up babe... Sorry a

utwa?... Come here...

She stood up and he helped her sit down, he

kissed her and put on his pants...

Pholo: I'm coming...

He walked out and headed to the kitchen where

he poured a juice in the glass then he reached
in the back pocket took out a pill, he pressed it
down with a spoon and raked the powder with
his hand and poured in the glass..

Meanwhile from that silence, they were done...

Momo took a deep breath and walked to the
kitchen barefooted in her pyjamas, she
switched the lights on and Pholo turned around
holding a glass.. There was silence as they
looked at one another.. Her eyes dropped to his
pants and there it was, harder than ever, even
picking his pants... She got the glass from his
hand and took a sip...

Pholo: That's for Bubu

She turned away and took another sip...

Momo: Akere you can always pour another one
for "Bubu" it's amazing... I didn't have a pet
name, 1 millisecond she is Bubu...
Pholo: Goodnight..

He walked towards the door...

Momo: Please keep it down... I'm trying to get

some sleep..

Pholo looked in her eyes and swallowed, he

thought they were quiet.

Momo: Goodnight.. In fact it's a good morning

because its almost five in the morning.
Pholo: Sorry, i didn't want you hearing that.
He walked out and she finished her drink, guess
it would be awkward to feel disrespected.. She
washed her glass and headed to bed...

In the other bedroom Pholo got in bed and laid

behind Warona before putting his arm around
her..

Pholo: (whispered) Waiting Momo to sleep... I

was drinking water in the kitchen then she
walked in...
Warona: (whispered back) Did she hear us?
Pholo: No, relax...
Warona: I think i have a tear, we should stop..
Pholo: let me take a look...
He laid between her legs and checked her out,
there was a cut on her perineum.. A serious cut
his skinned crawled as he swallowed and sat up,
So weird because he didn't even penetrate her...
He almost did..

Warona: It hurts really bad.. How is it?

Pholo: There is a cut... I think you're going to
need a stich or two, nothing more. Now i think
you're too tight and you need medical
assistance to get back in shape. This is more
serious than i thought.

She slowly got up and got a mirror from her bag

then she squatted, her skin got instant
goosebumps as she stood up and looked at
him..
Warona: I said stop and you didn't stop... Do you
know how painful stitches are? And what am i
going to tell the doctor?
Pholo: I am a gynaecologist, nobody has to
know, i will give you those stitches..
Warona: No, i told you this will happen!

She pouted angrily and got in bed, Pholo sat on

the edge of the bed and sighed..

Pholo: I'm sorry...

She pulled a duvet over her head..

Pholo: I have a first aid box in the car, can i get

you painkillers?
She kept quiet..

Pholo: O ngadile?

She kept quiet and he sat there for over 30

minutes waiting, he laid down on his back and
sighed thoughtfully, before he knew it he dozed
off...

In prison...

Meanwhile Terry felt something on his back, it

was probably these lizard, he brushed it off with
his hand and felt something soft... Then he
realised another inmate was getting on top of
him, he tried to turn but he put his arm around
Terry's neck pulling his neck in the dark.. They
fell from the noisy spring bed and on the floor
as this guy pulled down Terry's pants...

He strengthened his neck tightening his neck

muscles and flipped but this guy was way too
strong, and he was running out of air, he shoved
his meat between his butt but Terry slipped his
hand between them and grabbed it... He he
squeezed it so tight and grabbed the balls too
twisting them.. This guy headed him and
punched him in the dark but he pulled and
squeezed those balls until he could feel them
coming out, the inmate let go of his neck and
screamed loudly...

Terry turned around and punched him several

times on the face as the lights turned on and
the siren wailed...

He got off him and stepped back while other

inmates remained in their beds shaking, as
soon as the prison guards arrived they all
turned away and laid down while the attacker
laid on the bed still screaming holding his balls..

Him: He tried to rape me!

Terry : He tried to rape me, what are you doing
on my bed?

The guards pinned both of them to the wall,

cuffed them and pushed them outside...
Knowing the system he knew he'd get
additional time for getting in trouble... He wasn't
even sure how his baby girl was doing out
there... For yhe first time he wondered why
Tumi hung herself... He never even bothered to
find out, he was just happy to have a chance
with Momo....
At Momo's House...

Later that morning Warona got up and and took

a bath then she got dressed with a pout and
grabbed his keys, she limped to the car and
drove off...

Meanwhile in Momo's bedroom she heard the

car driving off then she looked outside the
window and noticed Pholo driving away. She
laid on her back as her clit throbbed... It
throbbed so bad even her panties rubbing
against it gave her pleasure, she closed her legs
tightly and sighed before putting her hand
between her legs... So much pleasure, she didn't
understand... She was so sensitive every touch
felt so good.... But the baby was next to her... At
least the nanny came to work at quarter to
seven... It was almost 6 so she had time...
Naked with nothing on her body except a
bonnet, she carried the baby to the sitting room
and put a sheet over her then she walked in the
kitchen and picked a cucumber the size of
Pholo then she walked in the bedroom and
rolled the condom over it, she laid on her back
and lubricated the cucumber before slowly
#Removed..

Meanwhile Pholo turned around and noticed he

was alone on the bed, she got up and put on his
shorts then he walked out, as he passed
through the passage he noticed Momo laying
on her back then he walked over and stuck his
head inside watching her as she moaned
pushing the cucumber inside...

Pholo held her closer thrusting between her
legs, he pushed further and the tip slipped
through the lips, she stood on her toes each
time he got closer to her kuku then he stepped
over and lifted her leg...

Warona: (whispered) Pholo wait.... Fuck

Pholo: (leaned whispering in her ear) Shhh..

He placed the wide mushroom head over her

pussy and pushed through her flesh stretching
her...

Warona bit her lips holding her breath bravely

as his head stretched her entrance, she took a
deep breath and sighed like she was giving birth
and relaxed her muscle as Pholo held her waist
pushing in, she felt her skin tear and flinched
hitting the door as his dick dropped...

She turned around crossing her legs as she

dropped to her knees.. Pholo pulled her up one
with one hand while the other massaged his
dick...

Pholo: (softly) Bubu? Stand up babe... Sorry a

At Momo's House...

Pholo: (calmly) Hi...

Momo jumped and struggled to flip the duvet
over until she noticed she was laying on top of
it and grabbed a pillow which she put over her
body...

Momo: (Angrily) Don't you know how to knock?!!

Pholo: O galegela mang? Wa ntwaela ne wena,
when you're done drop me home, i have
patients this morning..

He closed the door, Momo quickly locked the

door then she removed the condom from the
cucumber and flushed it before washing the
cucumber and throwing it in the bin, on second
thought, it would be weird to the house helper if
a cucumber was found in the bin. She put it
inside the towel she was wrapping herself with
and walked out.
She walked past the living room where Pholo
was sharing a bowl of cereal with Terry's
daughter...

Pholo: When i was a teenager i used to give

myself hand jobs but I've never been caught not
even by my brother because i always made sure
i did it when no one was home, i didn't take
chances, but if by chance i couldn't control
myself i always did it at night when everyone
was sleeping... There are times for self service
you don't just spread your legs and pick the
cucumber..

She turned around and looked at him as he

smiled and laughed...
Pholo: And you're a hypocrite, you said you don't
want toys back then when i couldn't get it up... It
was just an excuse to cheat on me, because not
only are you willing to play with your vjay you're
willing to shove anything and everything down
there..

She walked back in the living room and held her

hips..

Momo: Not that i owe you any explanation, but

this is my first time actually doing this to
myself... If i was a professional masturbator
like you i obviously wouldn't have been caught
with a cucumber between my legs, i wouldn't
have even cheated because Cucumber is just
P20 and dick costed a whole car! And my
freedom too because here i am babysitting
because i didn't know a cucumber is actually
better than a man because i don't have to beg it
or give it signals that I want it only to be ignored.
This cucumber is something i never knew, i
would have spared myself the headache..

Pholo stared back at her trying to find a come

back...

Pholo: Give me a minute, i have to find

something negative to say..

She sighed and turned back in the kitchen

where she dropped it in the bin, Pholo stood at
the door and put his hands in the pockets
leaning against the doorframe...

Pholo: (smiled) Was it good?

She smiled embarrassed and poured a juice
into the glass...

Pholo: The drink you got from me last night was

spiked... That's why you were attracted to a
cucumber.

Momo stopped drinking and splashed him with

a cold juice as he grasped and pinched his
Tshirts away from his chest...

Momo: Why didn't you tell me?

Pholo: Did you just do that? I couldn't tell you
because you didn't listen, i told you ke yaga
Bubu
Momo: Accommodating your baby mama was
obviously a mistake, you people talk things di
half i even told her without knowing you didn't
Pholo: I know... Don't worry about it, I'll solve it...
So how much of that cucumber did you slide
inside you?
Momo: I'm so glad Warona is moving out, what
you two did to me last night was disrespectful
and unfair.
Pholo: You always cried whenever i put my
whole dick inside you remember that? I'm so
shocked you can take a whole cucumber, kana
ne o tsenya half?
Momo: You need to leave me alone... Take my
car, Warona will return it when she gets back...
Pholo: I want you to take me home, i want to
show you something in my storeroom.

Surely she wouldn't mind having those dildos

now would she? They were supposed to spice
up their marriage but they obviously came late.
The helper knocked and walked in...
Her: Good morning...

She picked the baby and kissed her.

Momo: Go get your things, I'm taking you home..

Pholo: (smiled) Yes ma'am...

He headed to her room while Momo kissed her

daughter-stepdaughter... Well she wasn't sure
what she was but baby girl was always happy to
see her, she was Happy.

Momo: Hi Happy?
Nanny: (laughed) You gave her a name?
Momo: (laughed) Yes....
She tickled her and walked away...

At the hospital...

Meanwhile the doctor finished stitching her and

took off his gloves.

Dr: This man is a man i tell you... He basically

just gave you an episiotomy..
Warona: Am i going to be like this forever? Too
small.
Dr: No, of course not... Once these 2 stitches
have healed I'm going to give you a dilator so
we can keep exercising your muscles until
you're flexible enough to accommodate a dick.
Warona: ok, thank you..
Dr: Please don't have sex until you've been given
a go ahead.. You're way too narrow...
Warona: Thank you..
Dr: Let's go to the pharmacy.. I injected you so
it's numb down there l.
Warona: Thank you...

They walked out as Pholo's call came through

in her phone, she hung up cutting the calls then
he sent a message.

Pholo: You want to sulk right? I'm giving you six

months o ngale o kgore. Don't talk to me until
you've learnt to communicate like an adult, this
is why i will never let a woman have my heart to
the fullest, you're full of disappointment. I'll
come get the car, oh and the story about the
children will come after six months when you're
done sulking. Love me right or don't at all, I'm
done begging women like I'm not worthy of love
and respect. I know i deserve better so you
better fix yourself, and do it quick. You're so
dramatic,Bye

Warona dialled him back but his phone didn't go

going through...

At the mall...

The taxi stopped, Warona stepped out and

closed the door then she walked to the driver's
side and paid, she got her change and walked
towards the building..

As soon as she walked in she spotted Wantlha

at the end of the restaurant eating, she smiled
and pulled the chair before putting her handbag
down.

Warona: Hey
Wantlha: Hi... You're so rare.
Warona: I've been so busy...
Wantlha: (laughed) Wa fosa, you ghosted me
because you were angry we didn't tell you about
Pholo
Warona: Gone mme why?
Wantlha: Momo didn't want you to feel guilty for
liking him..
Warona: (leaned back and sighed) Well now he
won't talk to me just because i sulked for 5
seconds.. Its been seven months Pholo avoids
me like he doesn't know me
Wantlha: Pholo is good at ignoring people, he
can be cold if you trouble him. He doesn't like
drama... Momo once scolded him at a party
then he never attended parties with her for 2 full
years because she had to learn there is time
and place... Don't tell anyone this ok.. (leaned
over and whispered) Apparently Momo's friend
who is the mother of his children was ignored
for a whole year after giving birth to their twins...
He kicked her out and offered her money to
stay away from him and his children..
Warona's mood dropped as she looked in her
eyes...

Warona: So they have a mother? Is she a

surrogate mother or real mother?
Wantlha: What is surrogate? She is their mother,
they even had an affair and she thought they
were going to be a family but as soon as she
left to sulk like you did, he just kicked her out...
He gets turned off quickly...
Warona: I thought the children were mine, like...
I know its far fetched but..
Wantlha: How? Wouldn't you know if they were
yours? Nna kana I've seen a video of Maya
pregnant with his kids.. He was being touchy,
massaging her feet, they slept together and up
to now Maya is Momo's enemy. Just that
Momo doesn't hold grudges.
Warona leaned and sighed...

Wantlha: What we know he might be done with

you, or if you just stay and wait for him he might
just never contact you and move on with
another woman. Pholo ha tsaya tshwetso wae
tsaya... Momo thought he was joking about the
divorce, he divorced smoothly without even
fighting... He just needs to be away from you to
make such decisions... Gatwe Pholo be gotwe
tu the mma.

Warona put down the fork and wiped her

mouth...

Wantlha: Sometimes men need to know they're

needed, don't always act like you're doing him a
favour being with him he go be with someone
who makes him feel important...
She looked at her thoughtfully...

Warona: The mma se rialo wena, kana I've

already pictured myself as Mrs Bathusi... Dr
Pholo's wife...
Wantlha: Ya tsamaya nyalo hao tshameka, just
know that there are jerks out there and women
are desperate for good guys wena wa
ngalangala gao mmonye...

She grabbed her handbag and quickly walked

out...

Wantlha: Uhu...

In prison...
Meanwhile walked out the gate putting his court
papers in the back pocket then he pressed his
phone, but it wouldn't turn on so he walked back
to the guard...

Terry: Nchargetse hoo the rra... I need to call

someone to pick me, i don't have coins for a
taxi.
Guard: Sure...

He got his phone and plugged it on the charger,

Terry walked to the nearest shade and sat down,
he still couldn't believe he was finally out...
Would society accept him, would business
partners want to do business with him... Who
would allow an ex prisoner into their house, how
was he going to take care of his daughter...
Minutes later he went back to the security gate
and got his phone then he dialled his friend...

Him: (low voice) Yeah

Terry: I'm out... Can you drop me home?
Him: I'm at work
Terry: Ntisetsa coin ee the mr
Him: I can't laiteaka, didn't they say mapantiti

Terry: O bitsa nna le pantiti laiteaka?
Him: (laughed) I didn't mean it like that.. Don't
be sensitive, gawa betswa matanyola akere?
When i knock off I'm coming so you can tell me
how it is in there.

He hung up and dialled Momo, the phone rang

unanswered 3 times then he tried a couple of
relatives, former employees and close friends,
some didn't answer while others were too busy
and cut him off before the conversation could
end.

He sighed and walked along the road, thank

God Maun prison was just a walking distance to
the mall...

Minutes later he walked towards where his

offices used to be, it seemed the space was
already occupied, he wondered what happened
to his company car and other properties. He
took out his phone and dialled the property
owner...

Him: Terry
Terry: Sir, I was passing by my office and thee is
a new company in there
Him: I'm keeping your property until you pay my
rent for the past 7 months, talk to me when
you're ready to make payment. If you don't pay
I'm selling your cars too
Terry: How are you going to sell my property
without my signature? Especially the car?
Him: The sheriff has been waiting for you...
Thanks for telling me you're back, I've already
filed a a case against you...
Terry : There is no need to take me to court, I
will sign over my car and others enough to
cover the costs then you give me what's left.
Him: No problem. Bye

He hung up and walked towards the lady he

usually bought lunch from, as soon as she
looked at him her heart skipped and she looked
around for help just in case, seeing this fear in
her heart broke his heart...

Terry: Hi, can you borrow me P20? I'll return it

before the end of today.

The lady looked at him, he'd never seen Terry

with so much hair and beard, he looked like a
true exconvict and there was no way he'd have
P20 with the way he looked. He just wanted to
run away with her money and P20 is a lot of
money... But then he looked dangerous ir
maybe even crazy so she had to refuse in a
clever way..

Her: I don't have any money today

Terry: Ok, thanks.
Terry turned around and walked 15km to his
mother's house and from the gate he could tell
his mother was home, the house was open and
knowing his mother she had cooked. He
salivated as he lifted his foot to get in the house
and noticed his aunt... Then his uncle laying on
the couch, was his mother too sick they even
moved in to help.

As soon as he walked in there was that look, or

is it fear... He saw it from that lady selling
lunch...

Terry: Dumelang...
Uncle: Hello?
Terry: (heading to the bedroom) Is mama in her
room?
Uncle: Please come here... Come sit down

It was the tone he used, his heart skipped and

he hurried to the bedroom... It wasn't his
mother's bedding then he walked back as his
uncle stood up.

Uncle: Your mother left us 5 months ago...

Terry's heart almost fell out his ribcage as he

put his hand over his chest as if he was holding
it back. He got dizzy and slowly sat down...

Aunt: I saw your ex girlfriend with your daughter

at Cresta Hotel, they're having a family fun day.
Terry : Why wasn't i told?
Uncle: You were in prison, how were ae
supposed to tell you?
Terry: How about going there?
Uncle: I thought when someone is in prison they
don't get visitors, besides what would you have
done because you weren't going to be released
to bury her. Makes no difference..

Terry buried his face between his hands, he

wanted to at least cry and feel better but it was
too painful even for tears...

At the family fun day...

Meanwhile Pholo smiled and took a picture of

Momo in her long colourful floral dress as she
blew a cloud of bubbles for the girls, Terry's
daughter and Peo laughed and jumped popping
the bubbles while Yame fired more bubbles
from his bubble gun...

Pholo: Alright, its time to eat..

Children: Yeaahhhhh...

The children ran to the red checkered picnic

blanket where there were two full baskets of
food and drinks, Pholo turned around taking a
picture of the thee of them running then he
turned back and smiled at her..

Momo smiled as he took a picture of her

walking over, as soon as she arrived he put his
arm around her and they both smiled at the
camera standing on the grass..

Momo smiled with her arm behind his back and

even put her head on his chest.. With his arm up
taking a picture he leaned over her neck and
captured jus the side of his head while she
blushed with her manicure nails over his waves,
she took off his glass and put them on..

Momo: Wow.. It zooms

Pholo: (laughed) I'm offended that you only just
noticed..

She laughed and put them back on his face

before touching his chin as her fingers slid
gently on his trimmed beard...

Meanwhile Terry walked in and wondered

around the noisy area looking at the jumping
castle, water slides and face painting hoping to
see Momo, his eyes scanned the whole area
until he bumped on a young woman..
Terry: Oh sorry
Her: Hi, do i know you?
Terry: I.. I don't know..
Her: Yes, its Terry right? Happy's dad... You're
Momo's ex, my name is Warona, I'm Pholo's
girlfriend-hopefully.
Terry: Oh, OK... Nice to meet you... He is a good
guy... Treat him good.
Warona: Really thanks
Terry: I'm serious, he is a good guy
Warona: (smiled blushing) Thank you.. I'm
actually looking for him, his nanny says he
brought the twins, have you seen them?
Terry: No, I'm looking for Momo and my
daughter..
Warona: Let's check the picnic site..
They walked towards the site...

Terry: Do they spend a lot of time together?

Pholo and Momo
Warona: I wouldn't know, i haven't really been in
contact with either of them.. We had issues...
Terry: Ok..
Warona: There they're... (mood dropped) They
are together..

Terry swallowed as Pholo brought a slice of

watermelon to Momo's mouth, she leaned over
and took a bite before he gave her then he gave
all the children..

Warona: Do you think they're back together?

Terry: I don't know, Don't confront them please..
I can't lose the only person in my life.. If ba dira
sengwe bata ikgalemela. I trust Pholo to...
Please ke a go kopa ska tena Momo be a nthala
kana o turner Pholo off by being dramatic then

partner and go to the other side, I'll take mine
too...

Meanwhile unaware who was approaching

Momo handed the children grapes.

Momo: Go to the jumping castle...for younger

kids ok? I'm coming to watch you

The children ran to the jumping castle as the

younger kids caretaker with the picnic Tshirt
escorted them to the castle and carefully put
them inside...
Meanwhile Momo laid on her stomach next to
Pholo who was laying on his back playing with
Momo's braided hair...

Pholo: (laughed) Mrs Q

Momo: (laughed) Mrs Q keng?
Pholo: Mrs Cucumber... Mogatse cucumber ka
sebelebele..

Momo tried to smack his head but he grabbed

her hand and laughed rolling on top of her, he
hugged her laying on her back and kissed her
neck then he turned her head French kissed
her... Someone cleared his throat...

Warona: Hi..
They turned their heads, Pholo slowly got off
her and stood up looking at Terry, for some
reason this time he was ready defend himself
and even teach him a lesson or two... He wasn't
going to be embarrassed in front of all these
people..

Terry looked in his eyes, and yeah he could tell

from his eyes he was waiting for him to jump...
But he wasn't that immature any more nor could
he risk losing the only person he had..

Terry: (to Momo) Hi..

He helped her stand and hugged her tightly...

Terry: (whispered) Thank you... My daughter is

so beautiful and she gained weight... You look
beautiful too..

He forced a smile tearfully and put his forehead

on hers before kissing her...

Pholo looked at her waiting for an episode of

her drama so he could this for good... But she
smiled tearfully, holding in her cry as her lips
trembled, the man that was said to have never
cheated was a cheater to her, was he too
broken or he just didn't feel her anymore...

Pholo stepped over and picked Warona as she

hugged him bursting into tears silently, he
walked across the grass barefooted carrying
her to the other side where he put her on the
bonnet of the car and hugged her rubbing her
back shushing her...
Pholo: I swear nothing happened... We only met
today here and talked, i didn't even know that
she came... We just decided to hang together
because.. We know each other..one thing led to
another and we kissed... It was just a kiss. It
won't happen again. I'm sorry. You can ask her
if you want.. I'm telling the truth.

At the garden
Warona: There isn’t much I can do , there is
nothing I can do if you have decided to be
exactly what you hated about your marriage.
Pholo: Ok…you’re justified to feel the way you
do I made a mistake and I’m sorry. Ill just be
honest even though it might be a bad time. I
lost the zeal to pursue this-us because I felt like
maybe you’re too young for me and we are both
in different worlds. You communicate with
sulking and I interpret it as a red flag that I
shouldn’t ignore.
Warona: You obviously built a wall around your
heart and you told yourself that you’ll never love
again, so whatever mistake I make you’ll just
leave. And you feel safer with Momo because
she is the devil you know…I am hurt because I
just thought you were different from other men.
Seeing you kiss her hurt me because I thought I
was serving my punishment and we would fix
things so I can learn to communicate better. I
am truly hurt because I don’t even understand
why I was brought into the picture if you two
still love each, very soon ill look like a woman
trying to break up a family akere? So what’s
next?
Pholo: No nkase dire jalo the mma, I feel bad for
what just happened …its not me. Can we fix
things..
Warona: ok, but I need to talk to the both of you
gothe le Terry because I need us to be honest
with each other, if you want her be honest so I
leave before investing my feelings.
Pholo: ok

She looked in his eyes and sighed defeated,

Pholo looked down guilt stricken and sighed not
sure what to say but he knew exactly how she
felt and knowing he caused that made felt
horrible…how she even found him here was still
a mystery to him. He glanced back at Momo
who was still standing with Terry.
Meanwhile Momo leaned back and glanced at
Pholo who was with Warona ,Terry looked at
them too and turned back to her.

Momo: why are you kissing me in public?

Terry: cause I’m happy to see you, I’m glad you
took care of my daughter. I guess I thought you
loved me enough to take care of my daughter
and wait for me.
Momo: we are still over, and I’m angry with you
for not even telling me you were on probation. I
know you killed Tumi too.
Terry: I knew everyone would actually blame me,
I would blame me too. I was considering to kill
her too but I didn’t. I’m sorry for kissing you if
you’re offended by the kiss, ill respect your
decision and get my daughter. I understand you
two might have bonded so you can visit her and
she will visit you anytime. She could use a
female in her life..thank you so much for
everything, ill go and say hi but ill pick her after
getting my house ready. My landlord took all my
furniture ,she says she will give it back after I’ve
paid the rent for the past 7 months which is like
17.5K. I have no money at the moment, the guy
who was helping run the company is nowhere
to be found and the building I was renting also
took my car, the sad part is that the total rent
owed is 45.5K but my company car is worth
more than that…the only place I have is my
mothers house but my uncle and his wife
moved in, you know relatives its going to be a
battle before I can have them out and move in.
Things tend to be very difficult if you’re not
using violence but I cant afford to ever get
angry. I need to be wise, my mother talked
about things like these and I didn’t take her
serious when she said anger will cost me
everything.
Momo: you had 2 cars, the company van and
the one I bought you.
Terry: Tumi`s family took it, she made me put it
in her name when she found out she was
pregnant. She made me do it under the
condition that she`d put my daughter in my
name without me having to pay the price and go
through the traditional process. She said her
parent wouldn’t give her the money id be
charged so in way I paid her and she gave me
my daughter legally. I know it sounds stupid but
I was thinking about my-
Momo: it makes sense I understand. I was
angry but when you explain it makes sense, so
she is in your name?
Terry: yes, I have the birth certificate.

Momo glanced back as Pholo leaned over and

kissed Warona then she sighed looking at Terry..

Terry: I still want you, can we give it a try?

Please , I love you. I’ve always loved you even
when I was just a sex object I still wanted you
to love me even if its just a little. Cant you just
try?

She glanced at Pholo hugging Warona then she

sighed frustrated, he smiled emotionally and
reached for her hand before kissing it.

Terry: Please…
Momo: Ok, but if you trouble me I’m kicking you
out . I wont tolerate your violent behavior and I
wont hesitate to report you.
Terry: Ok, I understand. Thank you. Um, have
you slept with him? Be honest I wont do
anything, I just need to know.
Momo: Yes
Terry: how many times?
Momo: I don’t know, I’ve lost count, the past 7
months Twice .
Terry: So you suddenly get satisfied by weak
erections?
Momo: He gets hard now, harder. Almost like
he never experienced erectile dysfunction.
Terry: (sighed) I see, do you still love him?
Momo: He divorced me because I cheated , you
can`t ask me something like that.
Terry: At least assure me I wont be hurt.
Momo: I wont hurt you, I promise.

Warona and Pholo walked back…

Warona: Hello
Momo: Hi, I’m sorry about-
Warona: I’m not interested in whatever comes
out of your mouth, I’m glad I know you now. I
just have a few things I want to confirm…

Pholo looked at Momo while she looked back at

him not sure what was going on. Terry took a
deep breath and sighed calmly…

Warona: Pholo asked for forgiveness ibile are

he wants to fix things, I understand that you
haven’t slept together or dated-
Terry: They slept together, they have been
sleeping together for 6 months.
Pholo: We didn’t..
Warona: why would she lie?
Momo: I lied I’m sorry
Terry: You didn’t lie
Momo: I wanted to turn you off, I’m sorry. I
didn’t think they would talk to us.
Warona: Pholo did you sleep with her??
Pholo: No
Momo: we didn’t
Terry: Kgang e e thata…you said you had sex
countless times…and he is denying everything.
Your stories don’t match. Momo you had no
reason to lie.
Momo: We didn’t have sex ne ke bua hela.
Warona: I just want Momo le Pholo to tell us a
way forward. They slept together, and that’s
fine as long as you don’t string us along…ill
speak for myself legale. I don’t want to be made
a joke, you two brought me into your lives…the
good thing is that there is nothing tying us,I can
still just leave you two alone and live my lonely
life. At least le nthusitse I have a job
Pholo: Whatever that happened will stop…
Warona: Ok so its true it happened,What
happened?
Terry: sleeping together
Pholo: We didn’t have sex. I’m talking about the
friendship. It will end…(held her hand)way
forward ke gore ill make sure I earn your trust, I
wont hurt you and I want us to fix our
relationship.
Momo: what we had is over, what you just saw
was just a moment of weakness. I will delete
his number.
Terry: ok, thank you. We will go now, I think we
talked enough. (to her)pick your things ill go get
the baby.
Terry walked towards the children while Momo
picked everything and walked away. Pholo
turned back to Warona…

Warona: Did you sleep with her?

Pholo: of course not, I didn’t.
Warona: ok
Pholo: Lets go get the children and go
Warona: let them enjoy, lets wait for them.
Pholo: ok
Warona: sit down, there is something important
I need to discuss with you before we actually
get serious .

They sat on the picnic blanket then she took off

her shoes and sighed looking at him.
Warona: Having both my ovaries removed
means I no longer produce hormones that
sexually active women do which leads to a lot
of complications, I believe even as an
oncologist you know, you’re a doctor.
Now that she mentioned it he thought about all
the side effects, low sex drive, difficulty I getting
aroused as hormones continue to reduce, early
menopause , osteoporosis, heart diseases and
many more. He took a deep breath and sighed.
Warona: I obviously wont give you the sex you
so need because I want be interested in sex, my
vagina is always dry, and its too narrow
because of all the medications I took. I hope its
something you can handle since you`ve been
there…but if you cant or if you’re planning to
cheat please let me know so I can make the
right decisions . can you handle my situation?
At Momo`s house…

Momo walked in and sighed putting her

handbag down as Terry followed carrying his
daughter , his daughter ran to the nanny ,they
laughed loudly and she showed her the toy.
Terry greeted with a smile and followed Momo
in the he sat on the bed while Momo took off
her clothes.

Terry: Can we talk?

Momo: (standing in front of the mirror) ok?
Terry: You know I was making less than you
even when I had a company, but now I have
nothing at all. Ill look for piece jobs to help you
pay the bills but-
Momo: Nkase jole le monna wa di piece job, try
to get your company up and running.
Terry: Listen, its not like ill be raking yards and
there is nothing wrong with that, ill just be
attending people with plumbing issues as an
individual not company...ill be posting in
Facebook groups gore if they need help I’m here.
Only until I’ve made an agreement with my
landlord and property owner wa office.
Momo: Nnyaa mme eseng posting on facebook
so people can say the accountant`s boyfriend
posted nnyaa. Your clients will call you, post on
your business page.
Terry: Business dropped after that saga, my
customers were disappointed in me and and
left . I need new customers
Momo: well I’m not moving from a doctor to a
piece job man. Its either you find a way to get
back your company where you’ll at least have
an office and get your car back or we just leave
it. Nna kana tota I never wanted anything
serious with you because I knew you’re only
good for sex, you were just a snack you don’t
have the ingredients for a main meal. I have
standards and if people find out I moved from a
doctor to a mere piece job guy ill be the talk of
town. I expect you to give me the money Pholo
was giving me, pay your share of the bills if you
cant take care of the whole household. Akanya
jaaka banna ba bangwe, piece jobs wont even
pay for my weave…I sent your child to a private
school so help me ka mopako and stuff.
Terry` lips dried as he looked at her then he
took deep breath and sighed..
Terry: Ill do my best babe..

At Pholo's House...

Later that evening Pholo stepped out of the

bathroom, and put on his boxers as Warona
walked in carrying Peo...

Warona: Were you bathing? It smells nice in

here... I love your shower gel.
Pholo: Yeah, what time are you going home?
Warona: I can't go today, i also told the nanny
and the maid to take 2 days off....they left.

He lifted his eyebrows shocked, things were

moving way too quick.. The shock in his face
seemed to surprise her or hurt her so he put on
a little smile still surprised.

Pholo: (calmly) Babe without asking me first?

Warona: Yeah, (smiled surprised) Can you
imagine they call me mmagwe Peo? They just
assumed I'm the mother of your children...
Anyways i wanted to spend time with the kids. I
missed them and get to know them, the whole
time you weren't talking to me I'd sometimes
wake up missing them and the funny part is i
honestly haven't spent so much time for me to
be going through that...(noticed him put on his
watch) Are you going somewhere?
Pholo: Um, yeah. Wanted to see Itai, it's been a
long time since we spent time together. I
thought I'd drop you off at your house before
meeting him.
Warona: Ok, its fine... I'll be with the kids.
Pholo: Ok..
Warona: Yame is sleeping, this one wants to
sleep too. Let me go put her down, please don't
eat too much because i want to make you
supper. I checked your food timetable in the
kitchen..
Pholo: You don't have to cook... But OK.

She walked to the children's room and put her

down then she headed to the kitchen where she
got started, she paused holding a pan and
looked at this huge clean kitchen... This could
be all hers, the kids and this loving man... This
is the family she always prayed for... It would be
a miracle if these children were hers , it would
explain Pholo attending such a noisy party and
easily leaving, the maid and the nanny
assuming she is the mother, what Momo said
again and him not denying anything but being
honest about not being ready to talk about it,
the thought itself was so scary.... But her life
always had a way of getting fucked, this was a
man that never cheated but when it came to her
even the angels would curse and act rachet....

Pholo walked in smelling nice as the car keys

jingled in his hands, he hugged her from behind
and kissed her neck... She smiled and inhaled
all of him..

Pholo: Call me if you get lonely or bored.

Warona: Ok, take care of yourself...
Pholo: Alright

He turned and walked out, she turned holding a

plate...

Warona: Pholo?
Pholo:Maa?
Warona: Take care of yourself, i need you and
the children need you...when good things are
coming your way they come with challenges to
make you fail. I know this because i wanted a
boyfriend for so long and i had a crush on you
before you even knew me but i just failed to
communicate which turned out to a red flag on
your side. I'm just trying to say I know gore o na
le letswalo le le healthy and I know today you
got tempted, it's a thing of the past and i know
you'll never hurt me again. I can't stop you from
seeing Momo, me reminding you what she did
to you will only make me look bitter, i want you
to know that from here I'll never talk about
Momo, she doesn't exist in my head.

He bit his lower lip staring at her attentively...

Pholo: I understand your fears, di genuine...
When someone messed up in the morning like i
did and tried to leave in the evening, it's almost
as if I'm going to see her
Warona: (laughed) Enjoy yourself...
Pholo: Sure...

He walked out and drove off...

In the car...

Pholo got lost in thoughts while driving,

everything Warona said was correct... He
prayed for a chance with this girl... And now she
was here, willing to fix everything he complains
about... Probably feeling lonely, visiting
someone and they leave you to go out with
friends..
This was the mother of his children and she
deserved some kind of respect... He picked his
phone and called his brother and Itai..

Itai: Yeah? I'm inside... Yaone isn't here yet... I'm

at the pool table
Pholo: I can't make it, we will talk tomorrow.
Itai : Ok, i knew it. Ke Momo? I swear you never
learn, o koko, gao hola boela ha o sheleng teng.
Pholo : Going home not Momo's house, gape
Warona o nkgalemetse ke utule. We will play
tomorrow.
Itai: Sure.

He hung up nd made a Uturn..

At Momo's House...
Later that night Momo walked in the bedroom
and took off her robe while Terry laid on the bed
quietly, he wasn't sleeping just staring into
space with a long face.

Terry: (sighed thinking out loud) Eish!

He noticed he said it out and looked at her to

see if she heard. She switched off the lights and
got in bed with her panties and bra...

He slowly moved closer and put his arm over

her then he moved closer putting his boner
between her thighs...

Momo: I have a headache...

Terry: (lowered his voice) Its been months babe..
I obviously won't take long on the first one, and
one round is enough for me unless wena o bata
then-
Momo: Koore o nna o akantse sex hela? Nna ke
lapile rra. Can't you think about financial ways
to help around here? Goodnight.

He let go and laid on his back quietly while she

pulled the duvet over her head and dozed off
with an angry face.

At Pholo`s House

The following morning Pholo fixed his tie

standing in the dressing room the he walked
out and picked his phone, he checked on the
children who were sound asleep in their cots.
He closed the door and headed to the living
room ,he could pick the aroma of his breakfast
from the passage , Warona walked out of the
kitchen heading to the dining table where she
placed his breakfast.

Pholo: Good morning, I didn’t hear you get up.

Warona: I didn’t want you to miss breakfast, I
asked the helper what time you get up
Pholo: ok
He pulled the chair and sat down then he picked
the fork and begun eating, he noticed she was
waiting looking at him.

Pholo: what?
Warona: how is it? Does it taste good?
Pholo: (laughed) yes, why are you asking ?
Warona: my aunt says men love good food and
I was too playful whenever she taught me how
to cook so I’m not sure if I’m a good cook or not.
Pholo: You’re ok.

She pulled the chair and sat down.

Warona: Last night when you left I went through

your things, I didn’t check anything else I was
just looking for the children’s birth certificates
because I’m curious about their mother if its not
your ex wife. I noticed that there are no details
for the mother . when are we going to talk about
this? You made me wait long enough, its now
torturing me because I have all kinds of
possibilities running through my head.

Pholo leaned back looking at her as he rubbed

his hands with the wet cloth.
Pholo: I had my children through IVF,I paid for
two eggs and they were fertilized with my
sperms then placed in the womb of a surrogate
to carry them for me, that’s why Peo and Yame
don’t look identical, Peo looks like my egg
donor and Yame came out looking like me.
Anyways the children were delivered and my
grandmother took care of them when they were
newborns then I hired a house helper and a
nanny to make my life easier. The reason I
chose to have children alone is because I was
lonely, I couldn’t maintain an erection and I felt
like no woman would ever want me, so I
decided to have children and have a purpose in
life. I could have just impregnated anyone but I
wanted to be a single parent, I didn’t want baby
mama drama. I hired two people because I
wanted whoever will be taking care of my twins
to give them full attention. That nanny is not
just a nanny she has a diploma in early
childhood so she is also their tutor because I
want them to be ready for preschool when they
turn 4 years old. I hired the house helper
because I’m a neat freak, I want a clean house
and I want to eat on time because I spend hours
working all day, the smell of medicine, open
wounds I attend, some smell very terrible and I
cant eat comfortably in the office so when I
come home I want to bath and eat good food
and sleep in clean house. I don’t know maybe
this is insensitive but I feel like we are going too
fast where we shouldn’t be , like you want to
sleepover and spend time with my children yet
we cant have sex… we have never had sex and
yet I’m expected to do all kinds of boyfriend
duties, I want to have sex. I don’t know how bad
your situation is because you wont let me have
a look, but if you feel like as an oncologist I
know nothing about a woman’s body I have a
friend who is a gynecologist.
Warona: you’re saying so many things that I
want to address but I feel if you express
yourself none stop ill forget others. I wanted to
know who the egg donor is, and I don’t mind
seeing your doctor friend even you. I was just
upset you used force on me and I had to get 2
stitches. If the pelvic exam says I’m fine then
you can have me
Pholo: I don’t think you’d recover so soon and I
don’t mind waiting as long as we find other
options, satisfaction doesn’t just come from
penetration. I don’t mind a blow job and anal
sex, they’re both very nice .
Warona: Ok, that’s fair and you’re not asking for
too much. Im still asking you to cut ties with
your ex so you can focus on us. I’ve cut her off
my life though I liked her, its not god for us to
be close to her especially after that kiss. Im not
supposed to teach everything ,you should know
how to handle this situation to avoid a love
triangle.
Pholo: (smiled) Ga ke bari the mma, I know
what to do to correct this. I wasn’t sure about
you after that sulking but now you’re talking
sense so we are on the same page.
Warona: (smiled) if you say so…and you haven’t
answered me about the egg donor.
Pholo: Its you. When you pick a sample they can
allow you to pick based on how the donor looks
,that’s if the person who donated allowed them
to share her picture. I picked you because I
wanted to have a beautiful daughter just like
you.

Tears burned her eyes as she stared at him, she

tried not to cry as her lips trembled then he
stood up and walked to her chair, he helped her
stand and hugged her as she broke down
crying…there was just something about a crying
woman…his pants got tighter as he hugged her
rubbing her back, the more she cried the harder
he got. He leaned back and kissed her while his
other hand unzipped his pants and removed the
belt…

Warona closed her eyes as he kissed her

putting his hand behind her neck then he
pushed her down on her knees, she came face
to face with his mushroom head as he got her
hand and placed it on his veins, she gently
massaged as he gently ran his thumb over her
lips ,she leaned over and opened her mouth

At Momo` s house

On the same morning , Terry watched Momo

styling his daughters hair and fixed her uniform
as they charted and sang, she sighed and
picked her up.

Momo: lets say bye to daddy…

She put her on his lap, Terry stood up and

walked them to the car where he placed her on
her car seat and kissed her.

Terry: see you later, bye bye

Her: bye byeee

He closed her door and opened the door for

Momo.

Terry: can I get a hug?

She stepped over and hugged her then he

kissed her on the cheek, she got in the car and
drove off then he sighed and walked back in the
house. He sat down and sighed thoughtfully,
Momo was right, he had to find a way to get
back his business if he was going to keep this
relationship and support his daughter. Surely
his daughter deserved her mothers car and as
the guardian he had to get it, he also had to go
report the property company for illegally
repossessing his business property which he
can sell and pay the debt then rent elsewhere
and keep the business going. He took a bath
and left.

At Momo`s office

Momo locked the door and pulled up her skirt

then she reached in her bag and took out a
dildo, she clicked on a video of Paul`s black
machine sliding between her flaps, she pressed
the dildo and it vibrated while she put her legs
on the table..

A good 8 minutes of pleasure passed then she

grabbed tissues and wiped herself , she pulled
down he skirt and tucked in then she wiped her
dildo and put it back in her bag. She unlocked
the door and opened windows before sitting
down and picking her phone. She leaned back
and closed the video then she sighed leaning
back sleepy, she never knew masturbation was
so good even better when a man uses these
toys on you, she took out her phone and texted.

Momo: Thanks for the toys, I wish I had trusted

you when you wanted us to use them before all
these started. How are you?

She paused thoughtfully and deleted her

message, maybe he was home ,and it would be
cool to wait for him to text or call first. She
clicked on facebook and scrolled through,
Maya`s pictures of bogadi popped up, she
frowned and clicked on her pictures then she
lifted her eyebrows looking at Big T shaking
hands with Maya`s parents, while she greeted
his parents in her leteise dress.

At Momo's office...

Later on Momo paced out of the building talking

to her sister as she put on her sunglasses...

Wantlha: (laughed) Can't she find her own men?

Does she always have to pick what you slept
with.
Momo: I feel like she envies me, there is no way
this is just a coincidence, no.
Wantlha: No wonder she didn't invite you.
Momo: I'm going to ask her
Wantlha: Leave her, don't ask anything... She
will feel big and think you're jealous.
Momo: No i kept quiet with Pholo but this time i
want her to know how i feel so that i don't hold
any grudge.
Wantlha: Jeso ntate! Momo in a situation like
this it doesn't matter how you feel, if you're an
ex and you contact the person being married by
the man you're a bitter ex. Just don't say
anything... Akere she didn't invite you or even
say anything... just congratulate her on her
status and leave it that. Please don't embarrass
me, when people see me they will say "look
there is the bitter woman's little sister" and i
can't be that, my pride is too big please..
Momo: (panting) I'm going to ask her
Wantlha: Momo at least do it over the phone, no
she might post the screenshots and embarrass
you. You've had enough embarrassment for the
year please. Waitse gore basadi haba nyalwa ba
makgakga jang? (tapped her mouth making that
sound)mmewee Momo women get prideful
when they're getting married, she is going to
call you names...
Momo: I still need to tell her how i feel. Bye

She hung up, got in the car and sped off....

At the mall...

Meanwhile Warona walked in the shop holding

both children with their child leash as it
stretched allowing them to walk in front of her...

Warona: Slow down...

She stopped by the trolly and put the trouble
one in the seat then put Peo inside the trolley
before pushing in the shop...her phone rang and
she smiled looking at her auntie's call.

Warona: Hi
Auntie: (tears of joy) I saw the pictures, i hope
I'm not dreaming... The word miracle doesn't
even come close to describing your situation.
How do you go from infertile to being a mother
of two?
Warona: (smiled) I still can't believe it myself... I
wish mama could see my daughter has her
eyes and nose...
Auntie: Is he a good man though? I don't like
educated people, they undermine people.
Warona: Not Pholo, he is humble and
understanding, he is compassionate, when he
has hurt me he feels guilty and actually
apologises genuinely. He is very generous, he
cut me off for 7 months but he didn't get his
ATM card, i used it to pay rent every month and
he never asked me, but he sees the transaction
messages... I've never met a man that doesn't
care about money. I used 1K from his account
every month and he never stooped me.
Auntie: He is a doctor, not just a doctor but an
oncologist, one of the highest paid specialist
doctors.
Warona: And that's why I'm scared he will just
go back to his equally educated wife, what will
my little degree do? Plus i can't have sex and
men love sex. I am on menopause, I'm basically
an old lady inside.
Auntie: Run your race, wena do your best to
show him, love and respect, focus on him and
the children. Forget everything else... Get that
man and don't you let him go, he already likes
you so make him see a wife in you. Don't be
prideful or feel like you're stupid for being a bit
more understanding... The bigger picture is to
get a man that has respect, love and money. Is
he good in bed? Not that it's important, a man is
measured with his wallet
Warona: That's another issue, he is big..
Auntie: Well, he is from the North West District
so that's expected...
Warona: Yeah, and he wants crazy things
Auntie: As long as he is not bringing up other
women live a little
Warona: Anal sex
Auntie: Jeso!

There was silence as she took a deep breath

and sighed...
Warona: I think he likes hurting people in bed,
he hasn't hurt me yet but so far I've gotten 2
stitches because he wouldn't stop.
Auntie: Ei mme kana o siame gape o na le
madi... Gatwe re taa dira jang jaanong, hane e

e tsogetseng ngwana wa nkgonne, (laughed)
hase gorr omo lese ae iphunyetse, o taa bona

Warona cracked laughing out loud and

remembered she was in the shop as her
children turned looking at her..

Warona: Auntie wee, uh mma. You don't know

Pholo. He is like that guy you once told me you
ran from his house with just panties when you
were a young woman.
Auntie: (laughed) That day i ran barefooted, it
was cold... In June, and he was waiting for me
outside the pit latrine toilet because i lied
saying i want to pee first. I sat in there thinking
and he was waiting for me outside holding my
towel, ke ha ke tola jaaka tshepe ke raga lebati
la disenke kago thoma hale, i ran so fast even
Isaac Makwala had nothing on me... Cars
honked for me but i didn't stop, i only stopped
at home and ran into your mother's house. My
sister laughed at me so much because she
always warned me about going with random
men to their houses after drinking..
Warona: So you want Pholo to destroy me?
Auntie: I don't know any more, is he that bad?
Warona: Well he isn't that bad, it's not like he is
deformed. I'm the problem because i shrunk,
but I'm still getting dilated. Right now I'm using
a 4 inch dick size to be dilated. I can only try
Pholo when I've dilated to at least 7 inches...
Auntie: I don't know what dilation is but do it
fast. I want a wedding...
Warona: (laughed) OK

An old lady turned around and smiled picking

Yame, she recognised her from Pholo's pictures.

Warona: Auntie we just met Rragwe Peo's

granny.. I'll call you later
Auntie: Bye,

Pholo's grandmother looked at her as she hung

the phone, so this lab experiment thing was
real... Maya is definitely not the mother of these
yellow babies, and this young lady was Peo's
copy... Through these shorts and crop top she
could tell this body never bore children...
Her: (smiled) Why do you look like my great
granddaughter?
Warona: (smiled) I don't know, perhaps Pholo
can explain better
Her: You're the mother?
Warona: Ee mma, that's what Pholo told me..
Her: Young people do crazy things, put my
things in your trolley..

She transferred her things in her trolley and

pushed it besides her while she carried Yame..

Her: How did you people really make this babies?

Warona: (laughed) Ale botse Pholo
Her: Will you drop me home? I came wurha taxi
Warona: Ee mma, I'll drop you off.
Her: ko lapeng ke kae? {where are you from?}
They chatted as she picked a few things

At Maya's office...

Meanwhile Maya walked towards the

Rangerover holding a bunch of flowers and a
big farewell gift box...

Momo stepped out of the car and waited for her

as she approached probably coming to the
corolla on her left side, Maya unlocked the
range on the right and waited as the door
opened itself then she placed her gift with the
rest and closed the door before taking off her
glasses.

Maya: Hi... What are you doing here?

Momo: My ex? Again?
Maya: What are you talking about?
Momo: Big T... I slept with him and he is the
reason Terry went to prison.
Maya: So what do you expect me to do about it?
Not marry him because you slept with every
man in Maun? Ee re ta ja mathe a gago akere
wena o jesitse mongwe le mongwe. Ntese ke
nyalwe gongwe nna akena go cheater monna
wame despite his condition... Don't get worked
up, I didn't even know you two know each other
but he mentioned a lying one night stand where
he got harassed by the boyfriend whom he fired
and reported. Bye girl!

She got in the car, put on her shades and

reversed...
Maya: Watch your toes love, cheers!

She rolled up the window and drove off.

At the cemetery

Terry followed his cousin as they walked along

a narrow walkway passing new graveyards, he
wasn’t aware so many people die is such a
short period of time, from the boards on the
graves each weekend there was a burial. They
walked until they reached his mother`s grave…

Cousin: that’s the one.

Terry: thanks
Cousin: ill wait in the car, graves scare me.
Terry: ok

The cousin walked away, Terry turned back to

his mothers grave and took a deep breath
reading her date of birth, date she died and
when she was buried, tears filled his eyes and
he could only imagine her body inside
there…what she felt dying while he was in
prison. Her words about sleeping with a married
woman, the bad luck that came with it , finally
the last fight he had with Pholo at her house.
Could everything be happening because of the
marriage he tore apart? How is it possible to
lose everything all because of one person,
clearly he would never be anything to Momo. It
wasn’t worth it…

He squatted and fixed the flowers on her grave,

how he wished he could hear her voice one
more time, just one advice about how to handle
this situation. He rubbed a tear running down
his cheek then he slowly stood up…

Terry: I lost everything, you were right…sleeping

with other peoples wives comes with a price.
My life was fine before I met Momo, but I don’t
know how to pick up the pieces of my life.
People have illegally repossessed my property
and the police are dragging their feet. I have no
equipment and your brother has taken your plot,
he refuses to move out because according to
him you bought it after selling your mothers
inheritance which he never got his share, there
are so many problems and I’m not strong
enough to handle them. I’ve ruined my
reputation and my customers wont let me in
their houses. I’ve assaulted a powerful man and
no company wants to be associated with me.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead, this was

madness, he was actually talking alone. He
turned around and walked away.

At school…

Meanwhile Momo smiled as Terry`s daughter

walked out of the class and ran over holding a
page, she bent over and picked her up then she
put her in the car.
Her: mama look!

Momo got the page and looked at it, it was a

family drawing and she had colored with
crayons. She smiled looking at herself and Terry.
She wasn’t sure she had forgotten her mother
or she simply just moved on, whatever the case
each time she heard her call her mama it just
melted her heart…

Momo: its beautiful, I love it. You’re brilliant .

Warona parked in front of her with Pholo`s car

and opened the door letting out music, her
twins met her halfway as she smiled and picked
them one by one kissing them.
Meanwhile Momo started the car and honked
her to move the damn car. Warona held the
twins and hurried back to the car.

Warona: Sorry I thought you haven’t collected

yet
Momo : (smiled) Its ok…

She noticed a ring as Warona put the kids in the

car, it didn’t look like a wedding ring but it was
something Pholo would bye for engagement, or
maybe it was just a ring? Would Pholo move on
that quick? Warona jumped inside and drove off
then Momo followed dialing Pholo.

Pholo: hello?
Momo: hi, I saw Warona wearing a ring
Pholo: ok
Momo: are you engaged?
Pholo: yeah
Momo: that explains why you been quiet, I wont
judge you
Pholo: ok
Momo: isn’t it too early to marry her? You barely
know her, and you said she is too narrow and
you can't fit, how are you going to survive such
issues?
Pholo: ill handle it,
Momo: how?
Pholo: there are other ways, waitse akere gore
nna ke kgona go digela dikgwedi keja disele
kuku ele hoo. Re shapo, we discussed it and
reached a compromise.
Momo: you still love me
Pholo: but we didn’t work out, and I’m afraid to
even think about giving you a chance because
you love Terry.
Momo: Pholo we’ve been through this already.
You cannot keep saying that. Lets meet and talk.
Pholo: I cant, I loved you and yes maybe I’m a
little afraid Warona might hurt me too but I’m
sure I want to give it a try with her. Gase gore
she put me under pressure to marry her I
wanted this, she was equally shocked by the
proposal. I don’t want to turn into you and do
her like you did me just because she has a
condition that makes it hard to satisfy me, I’m
willing to settle for the best she can give me
and I’m content with that.
Momo: Ok, I understand . Go shapo, so you paid
magadi or just asked her to marry you?
Pholo: Paid magadi, ba ntuedisitse tshenyo
(laughed) bannabagolo bare ke tshotse bana le
Wawa kesa mo nyala gatwe gore bana ba
tshotswe ko lebong ke tsame.
Momo: (forced a laughter) ke mathata
Pholo: I have to go, this should be our last call. I
promised her I would never call you that’s why I
haven’t called you.
Momo: Ok, shapo.

She hung up and sighed driving off.

At Momo`s house

Later on Momo walked holding Happy`s hand,

Terry stepped out of the kitchen and smiled
picking her up, Momo put her handbag down
and sighed as Terry stood there in his overalls.

Terry: just arrived, I was about to cook

He leaned over and put her down, Momo could
smell his sweat from where she was standing
and his beard and afro made the whole thing
worse. Momo handed him her car keys and
ATM card..

Momo: Use P2000, please get a haircut and buy

toiletries gape feel free to use my things. O
kase nkge sethitho roll on yame ele teng… don’t
walk mo tsatsing just borrow my car, or drop
me off and go to your side hustle. I understand
that you’re still fighting to get your things back
so ill give you P3000 every month so you can
survive, I’m sorry for making your life difficult, I
going through my own personal failures.

Terry swallowed tearfully then she stepped over

and hugged him as he lifted her and kissed her
neck...he secretly rubbed his tear .

At Momo`s mothers …

Later that evening Momo`s mother walked her

out while she carried Happy…

Momo: can you drop me off at Wantlha`s house?

She will take me home
Her: that reminds me, what happened to your
car?
Momo: its with Terry, he had 3 customers in
Matlapaneng, we thought it would be faster if
he used a car to attend them.
Her: Do you trust him to go to customers? What
if he went to see another woman?
Momo: he would never do that?
Her: all men do that, bad men cheat right in
front of you and they beat you if confront them
about it, good men cheat and hide it from their
women, when caught they deny it and even cry ,
the bottom line is they cheat when you least
expect it..
Momo: Pholo never cheated on me even when
he was at school, he has never made other
women think they stand a chance. Not all men
cheat.
Her: Pholo is a rare breed, he is an introvert,
those hardly cheat . I’m talking about real men
like Terry who even has a temper
Momo: (sighed) Ok, thanks for your opinion
mom, I really didn’t need you making me feel
bad because my night is already going to be
horrible because the man I’ve been with my
whole life is marrying another woman. Their
pictures are trending on Facebook and
everyone thinks she is the most beautiful things,
Facebook friends are throwing shade at me
telling him now he has really picked a real
beauty eseng a green figure with horns.
Mom: Bao ba bitter, but I don’t want you to relax
around Terry because you wont get lucky twice,
be very careful especially because Terry knows
that you’re the kind of a woman that can cheat
on a man if he hits rock-bottom, he will be with
you knowing that if he gets sick or broke, you’ll
not treat him like a man, and men are good at
searching for a wife while they’re with their
second best, you only get lucky if he doesn’t
find his dream woman or his peace, his peace is
that woman who will make him feel like a real
man. Don’t you ever hear women get shocked
that their men got married after spending a
night with them? Its situations like this…get in
the car.

Momo got in the back with her daughter and put

her on her lap as her mother drove.

Momo: drive me home, now I want to sleep.

Her: I didn’t mean to stress you..
Momo: its ok, I hope he doesn’t think that way
about me, I made my mistakes I deserve a fair
chance, I’m wiling to love him with his flaws. I
will help him get on his feet again and show him
that my marriage with Pholo doesn’t define me.
Her: Good, make sure you talk to him and he
understands who you’re now. I’m telling you
majority of men cheat, two types of cheaters:
ba ba bodipa le ba ba boi, there is only 5% of
men that don’t cheat and most of them have
issues which they compensating for by not
cheating. So maybe Terry wont cheat because
he is broke…
Momo: Pholo didn’t cheat even before when
women wanted him
Her: ok ,forget it, what do I know. I’m talking
from experience of the older generation, I’m
sure their sons are good boys now. Your father
was just a herd boy who didn’t finish school, I
only dated him because he`d bring sour milk to
our farm. When I fell pregnant I was ashamed
and I didn’t tell anyone anything. I just closed
that chapter. Years ago I found out he stays in
the city and even lost Maun accent, he is very
reach . He used to be very skinny and they
teased him calling him tiny T. now he is
rich…when I remember that he once asked me if
its true I was pregnant but I denied it I feel like I
ruined your life there. He was just getting
started by then and I didn’t think he`d be
anything. He begged me to be honest because
he wanted his baby if it was his. I just said
Wantlha is my first. A decision I regret to this
day…
Momo: So I’m a rich mans daughter? What are
his names?
Her: (laughed) I don’t even know his full names,
I called him T, ill ask my cousin what his full
names are.
Momo: please do

Minutes later her mother parked the car, Momo

stepped out and closed the door then she
waved at her mother, her mother smiled back
and waved waiting for her to get in then drove
off.
At the client`s house

Meanwhile Terry watched as the client counted

P800 and handed him.

Terry: thank you, observe again tomorrow, if it

continues to leak call me.
Him: sure

He walked back to the car smiling, at least he`d

be able to fill Momo`s tank, she was lazy with
this kind of things, he got in the car and drove
off dialing Momo:

Momo: hi
Terry: hey, I’m going to the last customer, at
least ke dirile 1.6k, I’m not sure about the
damage I’m attending there
Momo: hee mme side hustle ya plumbing e
serious waitse ,I thought ke ma P50.
Terry: because the first time we met I fixed a
leak that a 6 year old can fix ,now you think
that’s my salary. The one I’m going to see is an
old lady, she always tips good, you know how
generous old people are, she has a hotel so I
always try to impress her because the hotel
always calls me each time there is a problem.
Momo: (laughed) I underestimated you, I’m
going on my knees now asking for forgiveness.
Terry: (laughed) You’re forgiven my queen, bye, I
love you and I hope one day I will afford you and
not be an embarrass to you.

He hung up and drove in, he stepped out and

closed the door as the two pit bulls ran towards
him, Mrs. Harrison`s dogs always gave him a
running stomach , but as always he snapped his
fingers hoping they’d recognize him, and they
did.

She pushed the front door open in her blue

sweater and big sunglasses as she pushed her
white hair back smiling. This black still looked
as good as the first time she saw him, and his
smile was still innocent, like he was seeing his
auntie or mother…at this point she wasn’t sure
if he truly couldn’t pick anything or he was
politely letting her down.

Mrs. Harry: Hi my boy, how are you?

Terry: hi, long time. What’s going on?
Mrs.: can we have coffee first?
Terry paused for a sec confused, but then he
figured she was lonely and needed someone to
talk to, probably didn’t have anyone close since
that racist of a husband died. .

Terry: sure,

He walked in the dining room and sat down as

she poured him ice tea..

Mrs. Harry: I didn’t have any plumbing problems,

but I do have something that needs to be fixed..
Terry: ok? What?

She stared at him smiling, he smiled back still

clueless and frowned curiously..
Terry: what? (laughed) Why are you smiling?

The smile of confusion made him even cuter,

she could only imagine being drilled by this
young men being turned side to side like
barbeque…she always thought black men in
porn were overrated but Terry`s zipper proved
her wrong. Black men deserved to be
worshipped and maybe this explains why the
hate for such superiority, any man packing such
happiness for a woman deserved all the respect
in the world.

Mrs. Harry: I love you…I’ve loved you the first

time I saw you but I was ashamed to admit it
because you’re so young, if I had children you’d
probably be my sons age, I didn’t know how to
tell you…now I feel like I have nothing to lose…
Terry swallowed the ice tea and put down the
cup staring at her shocked beyond words, like
what fuck!

Mrs. Harry: I’m very lonely, it would be nice to

have someone to stay with, sometimes thieves
try to break in and I fear for my life, I cant go
back to Australia I left when I was 21 and I was
raised through foster care so really I have
nothing to go back to, you know I have no kids,
its hard, I watch the tv alone, eat alone, run
errands alone and I certainly don’t have the
energy to run hotel…I wish I could just retire, I
just want to enjoy my last days and do things I
never experienced when I was young. I want to
be happier, I want to do what I’ve always
wanted but was too afraid to admit or try
Terry: which is?
Mrs. Harry: Seeing a black dik go inside my
white pssy…

At Momo`s house

Momo smiled watching Happy as she traced

faint on the connecting dots then she held her
hand and gently pressed her hand down.

Momo: Press it hard, but not too hard because

your fingers will tire.

Happy tried on her own and it was good so she

picked Momo`s hand and put it on hers but
Momo pulled her hand back.

Momo: (laughed) Nnyaa mma, do it on your

own
Happy: (whining) Mamaaaa
Momo: even if you cry, I cant do it for you.
(smiled) How about you finish your homework
then we go buy ice cream?
Happy: yeeeei

She leaned back to her and waited for her to

finish, then she picked her phone and dialed
Terry.

Terry: babe
Momo: how far?
Terry: Tao bule gate
Momo: (laughed) Ok

She hung up and put the phone down then she

walked out.

Momo: Daddy is here ,better be fast or we are

leaving you.

She walked outside and headed to the gate

where his lights were approaching, she opened
the gate as he deemed the lights.

Meanwhile Terry sighed rubbing his head as he

watched her open the gate, if Momo ever loved
him she could have long left her unhappy
marriage and started a new life with him before
all these drama happened, but she didn’t. if he
ever let this opportunity pass his daughter`s
future was in Momo`s hands and as much as
she loved her , the man of her standard wouldn’t
allow her to be there for an ex`s daughter. She
might even adopt or do that thing Pholo did to
have twins, where would that leave his orphan
daughter? Being a single father is only easy if
you’re rich like Pholo, the guy never suffered,
even hired two domestic workers for his
children, and hear he was having to be a yes
ma`am to a woman that didn’t see a man in him.
He drove through and smiled rolling down the
window as she smiled..

Terry: somebody missed me for the first time

ever
Momo: (smiled) we’ve been waiting ,wow nice
hair cut…ba taa lala ba njetse monna.

She put her arms over his shoulders and

stretched up kissing him while Terry held her
waist and kissed her back.

Momo: You smell different

Terry: It’s the shampoo, they wash our heads
too after a haircut you know
Momo: oh yeah, come in

They held their hands and walked in the house.

the phone...

Momo: Terry just left with the car, i can't meet

you, it sounds so serious, can't both of you
come over? Kana o tshaba go tsosa Amber
masigo?
Maya: No, she is with her father for the holidays.
We will be there in few minutes.
Momo: Can i ask what this is about? Cause i
really don't want to fight anyone, if it's about the
conversation we had the other day i was out of
line and i never should have confronted you.
Maya: It's not about that... We will talk, some
things can't be discussed over the phone. It has
nothing to do with mjolo.
Momo: Ok, you can come.
Maya: Bye
She hung up and held her hips staring at the
gate like Terry would return, she dialled his
number and there was no answer, guessing he
just went fora drive she stepped back inside
and locked the door.

At Mrs Harry's...

Terry walked in as she closed the door and

locked up in her sleeping gown, Terry sat on the
couch and took off his shoes...

Her: What's going on? you sounded upset.

He leaned back on the chair and sighed bending

his foot laying it on the couch..
Mrs Harry : Cup of tea?
Terry: I don't like tea
Mrs Harry: What do you like? I have expensive
wine in the cellar... Haven't touched it in 2
years...

Terry sighed trying to find the right words, his

heart was breaking actually he just felt like
crying but crying in front if women just makes
you stupid.

Mrs Harry stood behind the couch and placed

her hands on each of his shoulders then she
gently massaged. Terry slowly relaxed and even
turned his head side to side while she
massaged him..
Terry: My girlfriend is cheating on me with an
older man.
Mrs Harry: I'm sorry to hear that... What do you
want to do?
Terry: I want to leave, but I'm scared... Scared of
the unknown, I'm not sure what will happen if i
really do this... This I mean see you, will people
even accept us or they will think I'm taking
advantage of you, if everything is fine what
guarantee do i have that you won't just leave me
for another person or just go back to Australia.

Mrs Harry walked around the couch and sat

next to him then she reached over and touched
his chin looking in his eyes with her blue eyes...

Her: Then marry me

Terry's eyebrows lifted slightly..

Her: Just the two of us... In private... With our

two witnesses, we both don't have children, why
not? Lete just do it.
Terry: In Africa you can't marry like that... It's a
long process. Those things exist in your
countries
Her: Yes you can, my husband and i got married
in Botswana. Just the two of us and two
witnesses. What do you say?

He smiled looking in her eyes, he'd never been

so close to a white person and her skin was so...
Pale... She had wrinkles all over her face and
even above her lips but she touched him the
right way, he just had to replace her face with
his favourite actresses then he leaned over and
kissed her, well turned out with his eyes closed
it wasn't that bad, her hand went down his
pants and and grabbed his meat as it expanded
in her hand.

Her: Mmhhhh...

Terry leaned over and got on top of her, he

grabbed her little thigh and put aside as he got
between her legs kissing her...

At Momo's House...

Meanwhile Momo and the engaged couple sat

down, she grabbed a pillow and put it on her lap
looking at them...

Big T: I'm going to tell you a little story..

Momo stared at him attentively...

Big T: Years ago, my father abandoned me at

the farm he worked at... I was 10 years old, one
day he found a younger woman and left me, the
man he worked for made me work on his farm
in exchange for food... I didn't finish school...
When I was a teenager i met a beautiful girl, we
fell in love but her cousins from the city visited
and they didn't like me, told her I'd be nothing
and she deserved to stay in Maun where
everything nice is. Just like that i lost my first
love.. I felt like she was pregnant because we
never used protection but i was so young and
illiterate i wasn't sure. I asked her and she
denied it..

Momo's mouth slowly dropped as her mother's

narration came back to her, tears filled her eyes
as she stared at him talking...

Big T: I found my way to Maun and worked so

hard... A guy by the name Basimane inspired
me, today that girl called me and told me the
truth, that she was pregnant... She says my
daughter's name is Mokgabo...

Momo put her hand over her mouth trying to cry

but nothing came out of her mouth as tears
rolling down, Maya tearfully stood up and
hugged her, she finally found her voice and
burst into tears while Maya held her.

Maya: I'm sorry..

In the car...

Momo turned her head and looked at him as he

drove with one hand over the wheel and the
other over gear stick.

Momo: Where did you sleep last night?

Terry: O bona wena Momo? You cheated on
Pholo because he allowed you to, you're not
going to treat me like that, I've tried being nice
to you nd it doesn't work. That's why o paletswe
ke lenyalo... But don't worry nna ke taa go aga.
Momo: O aga nna? You can't even build your life,
what makes you think you can fix me? I feed
you, bath you, cloth you and you drive me
Terry: You have to akere if it wasn't for you i
wouldn't have gone to prison in the first place,
and you're still sleeping with that old man!

He let go of the stick and smacked her on the

face, Momo put her hands over her face as the
pain of biting her tongue ran through her body..

Terry folded his fist and punched her on the

face while driving with one hand...

Terry: You're still seeing your sugar daddy?

Momo put her handbag over her face crying as

Terry leaned over and opened the door while the
car was moving. She dropped her bag and
pulled the door closing...

Momo: Terry!
Terry: I'll kick you out, you want me to show you
who wears the pants right? Mmh?

He drove through the gate and parked in front

of the house then he stepped out. Momo
jumped out and ran but he grabbed her by the
shirt. He dragged her to the house where she
grabbed the window frame...

Momo: Terry! I'm not sleeping with him, he is

my father..

Terry angrily punched her on the face, she fell

down letting go of the doorframe..
Terry: Your father? Koore you can't even think of
anything smart. Momo wee? Nxla

He put down the keys and took off his sweater,

Momo slipped off her heels and ran to the
bedroom as he ran after, she dashed in and
pushed the door but be put his foot blocking the
door as she put her back against the door
pushing with all her energy, her heart pounded
so hard she could feel its vibrations on her
chest. She'd never had a man put hands on her
and she never been this scared, the
embarrassment of even having to beg. She
frowned defeated as he pushed the door
slipping her across the floor, she ran to the
corner and put her hands over her head...

Momo: (crying) I'm sorry.... Please stop... I'm

sorry... I'll never talk to him...

He grabbed her hair backwards and gripped her

throat with his fist pulling her up as she stood
on her toes holding his hand with both hands...

Terry: You'll never cheat on me a utwa?

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked in

his eyes desperately, this was another side of
Terry she never knew existed and it was so
scary she nodded continuously unable to speak
with his hand on her neck. He finally let go and
she sat down crying out loud...

At Momo`s house

Momo slowly got up and sat on the bed crying

while Terry took off his t-shirt and opened the
wardrobe . He turned around and looked at her ,
he noticed her swollen eye and stepped over
checking her out. What was supposed to be the
white part of her eye was now filled with a red
patch and her cheek was bruised too. He sighed
and stepped back..

Terry: this is all that you wanted, you just

wanted me to hit you. You pushed me until I
couldn’t take it anymore…wa bona anong gore
ke go golagaditse. Fuck!

He sat down and sighed looking at her.

Terry: You cant go to work looking like that. And

I really hope for your sake you don’t think going
to the police will help you. It will only result in
you being found hanging in your house. You will
not ruin my life anymore than you already did. I
will kill you and kill myself, nna ake tshabe go
swa.

Momo stood up and walked to the mirror, she

could feel her eye was heavy and hard to open
but seeing it look like that sent shivers down
her body. She turned around and looked at him
but after that beating she could never just
respond anyhow. It still seemed like a dream
you know.

Terry: Can you iron my shirt? I have to go

somewhere and make money akere ware I have
to live up to the standard set by Pholo, so I’m
going to get you that money no matter what it
cost me, we will see if you’ll love me, if you
don’t after that I might as well kill you and kill
myself.

Momo picked his shirt and laid it on the towel

then she bent over and begun ironing. Terry
took off his pants and walked behind her, he
lifted her skirt and she paused ironing as she
straightened her back .

Terry: Don’t, just don’t … iron my shirt and leave

me alone.
Momo: Please don’t, I don’t know where you
were last night or what you did, you’ve doe
enough damage Terry ako o itshware.

He pulled down her panties, she let go of the

iron and straightened up again then he pushed
her face down on the bend leaving her meat
totally exposed then he dropped the zip and had
her.

At Momo`s office

Meanwhile the rest of the employees sat down

and there was silence as they waited for the
director, HR lady looked around for Momo and
frowned unable to find her, she leaned towards
another worker.
HR: where is Mma Bathusi?
Her: I don’t know, but she I think she will be here
soon. She wouldn’t miss this meeting knowing
we are presenting for Mr. Friday.
HR: And she is the one who will be presenting a
larger portion because she is a good speaker,
plus I don’t know half of these figures.
Her: lets wait, ke traffic hela

Other employees looked at her and shrugged

their shoulders probably asking about Momo
but she shrugged her shoulders too.
Footsteps approached and the three PA`s
arrived with their laptops and sat down getting
redy to get the notes as the directors arrived,
Friday and his oldest daughter together with the
two sons walked in and took their seats.
Workers looked at one another worriedly then
the HR stood up and walked outside, she dialed
Momo but there was no answer, then she
received an sms.

Momo: Wont make it today , sorry.

Really? She dialed her again and there was no

answer as anger slowly built up then she
walked back in the meeting and sent everyone
her screenshot.

At the hotel…

Later on Terry walked in the office and smiled

at Mrs Harry…
Terry: hey Dorothy
Mrs. Harry: Hi

He walked over and hugged her before kissing

her as her she caressed his chest with her long
slim wrinkled fingers.

Dorothy: I cant stop thinking about last night

Terry: I couldn’t stop thinking about you too..

He leaned over and kissed her as his hand

slipped down her high, then he picked her up
with ease and placed her on the table before
engorging himself inside her and filling the
whole office with intimate aroma. He pulled up
his pants as Momo`s phone rang in his pocket,
he looked at the calls from her colleagues and
ignored them.
At Maya`s house

After lunch Maya walked in the house and took

off her shoes as her phone rang,she looked at
the screen and it was a call from her prevous
workplace. She smiled and picked.

Maya: Hi stepdaughter
Voice: hi Maya, its me. (laughed) ele gore you
have a stepdaughter in Friday investments?
Maya: (laughed) I thought youre Momo, it’s a
just a joke we play
Voice: where is Momo? She is not picking and
she sent a message that’s unlike her, she
missed a presentation too.
Maya: I was with her last night, she was just
fine but ill go there and check on her.
Voice: please do,
Maya: bye

She hung up and walked out.

At Momo`s house…

Later that afternoon Maya stepped out of the

car, it didn’t look like there was anyone home,
the windows were completely closed and there
was no sign of anyone but she just stepped
over and knocked on the door. She bent over
and looked through the keyhole, but she count
see much then she walked around the house.
Thank God the other bedroom window was
slightly open, she walked over and pulled the
window then she slipped her hand inside and
swept the curtains aside, then her mouth
dropped.

At Momo's House...

The ladies sat down, Momo rubbed her tears

and kept her eyes at her feet without a word.

There was silence as the three sat there not

sure what else to say.

T: I know that we met under awkward

circumstances but if it's not too much I'd like to
know you as my daughter, i don't know if it's
possible. I was afraid to come here because i
wasn't sure how I'd feel looking at you, i am
heartbroken because i feel like i raped my own
child, but I want to correct my mistakes, i want
to make it up to you... But if it's not possible i
also understand.

He leaned back still staring at her, but she was

too embarrassed to even say a word. Her phone
rang then she reached for it and picked her
mother's call.

Momo: Hello
Her: I found your father's contact details, i gave
him your number. I sent you his on WhatsApp
now. I really hope you two can rekindle your
relationship.
Tears burned her eyes as she swallowed a
painful lump and sighed.

Momo: Thank you

Her: You sound low, did i wake you?
Momo: Yes, we will talk tomorrow
Her: Good night

She hung up and put the phone down, her father

took a deep breath and sighed.

T: Talk to me, if you need space just let me

know...
Momo: I lived my whole life picturing and
hoping to meet my Father one day, i thought it
would be a happy day. I didn't imagine it like
this...
T: I'm sorry for being so irresponsible, i take all
the blame for all this, don't even blame
yourself...
Momo: I don't blame you,

Maya: (stood) I'm going to buy a drink

Momo: (stood) No, don't leave
Maya: It's ok, please... (smiled) You can do this,
remember when we were in primary school and
said you wish you could hear yourself say papa?
It's not late, you're not an often... (laughed) It
will be a bit awkward if you say daddy but ei it's
life... Nna personally if I was you i wouldn't
mind.. My dad was my first crush.

Momo: (laughed) Some of us sane, that's the

difference
Maya smiled and gave her a middle finger
before walking out as they laughed. The door
closed and there was silence, T looked at her
and sighed...

T: Hi
Momo: Hi
T: How are you feeling?
Momo: Awkward, but what she said makes me
feel better... Weird
T: She is weird right
Momo: (laughed) Very, and she says things
without thinking
T: She has a point, we can't change it so we
have to move on.
Momo: Ok..
He supported himself with the arms of the chair
and stood up.

Momo: Tiny T

He paused and smiled in disbelief then they

laughed.

T: I was bullied and i overdid the eating when I

could finally afford the food, but I'm getting
back to shape.
Momo: Good...
T: I had a stepdaughter in my previous
relationship, she was killed by a boyfriend and
she left a little girl,
That's how close i came to feeling like a father.
I don't know if the problem is my weight or what,
I've never been able to have children of my
own... You're the only child i have and as much
as it's awkward, I'd really like to build a
relationship with you.
Momo: I've always wondered about my dad too,
at least people don't know what happened,
that's if Terry and Maya keep quiet about it.

He stepped over and hugged her, she hugged

him back and he kissed her on the cheek.

Momo: I'm still with that guy, Terry... I'll have to

tell him about you.
T: Ok, no problem. So what was your childhood
like?
Momo: Horrible, but my grandmother made it
nice... The horror begun after her death
because i didn't have a sense of belonging. I
always thought I'll heal after having children of
my own but I can't have children, I'm just glad
Terry gave me a chance to be a mother to a
sweet well mannered little girl.
T: I'm sorry for all your hardships
Momo: It's ok
T: Why do you like Terry? He seems too rough
for you.
Momo: It's complicated..
T: I understand...

Maya walked in holding drinks and smiled..

Maya: Hi people! Or should i say family... I

brought something sour for my husband...
(gave him) and something sweet for my little
girl aka stepdaughter aka leitebolo lame...
Ngwana waga mogatsake...

They laughed as she got the drinks and they all

drunk...

At Mrs Harry's House...

The next morning Terry opened a new

toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste on it
before leaning over and brushing his teeth, it
was still hard to believe... He woke up in this old
lady's house and he was about to marry her.
Out of his friends hr wondered who to pick
because these motherfuckers didn't check on
him when he was in jail, fuck them! But guess
he could pick just anyone...

He walked out and into the kitchen where Mrs

Harry was getting her bottled water.

Mrs Harry: I'm going to work... You should come

with me so you can help mr around, my feet get
sore at noon.
Terry: Sure, but i have to go dress properly first
before coming back
Mrs Harry: Perfect, oh and....You can't salivate
over employees
Terry: Of course not.. Come on
Mrs Harry: (laughed) Sorry.. So, girlfriend?
Terry: Not girlfriend, wife to be and she is
standing right in front of me.

She smiled then he leaned over and kissed her.

At Momo's House....
Later that morning Momo walked towards the
road holding an umbrella and her handbag, she
dialled Terry one more time and there was still
no answer then she noticed Terry getting off
road and towards her as she slowed down...

He stopped and rolled down the window as she

angrily looked at him..

Momo: Where have you been? You knew I'm

going to work and you spent the night out with
my car?
Terry: Get in the car, I'm not talking to you on
the street, where is my daughter?
Momo: The school bus took her, can I have my
keys please.
Terry: Kare tsena, ke toga ke tsamaya
Momo: Heela ele gore where do you get the
audacity to talk to me like that? Give me my
keys, gatwe ke toga ke tsamaya, o na le koloi

Terry: Ke tago tsenya mo koloing ka mpama,

Momo: Bring my keys
Terry: You think I'm joking right? Mh, I'll fix your
mouth if you keep talking back. Let's go back to
the house and do something really quick before
you go.
Momo: I'm not having sex with you
Terry: Lately you been walking all over me and
starting from today it stops, you'll respect me
the way a man is supposed to be respected... I
said get in the car, I'll take you to work after..

He stepped out of the car and walked towards

her then he grabbed her by the hair as she
staggered.

Momo: Terry wait, don't drag me in public, I'll

get in, don't embarrass me cars are passing by

He let go of her hair and opened the door for

her then she got in, he slammed the door and
got in the drivers seat and drove back home....

At the hospital...

Pholo shook his hand continuously smiling and

even ran his tongue over his frontline holding in
a laughter.

Pholo: Your girlfriend was just telling me about

you, please give her back a rest.

Dorothy and Pholo laughed out loud as Terry's

fake smile dropped, he looked away and
scratched his head.

Pholo: Anyways, see you in six weeks Dorothy.

Don't worry, you're in good health and as your
doctor (looked right in Terry's eyes) I can even
testify in court about how healthy you're.
Dorothy: (laughed) Thank you Paul, and
congratulations on the wedding. Terry and I will
honor the invitation..

Terry clenched his jaws and looked away with a

blank face. Dorothy got in the car and Pholo
closed the door before smiling at Terry who
kept a straight face starting a car.

Pholo: Bye Terry, nice meeting you again. (to

Dorothy) D you two stay together?
Dorothy: Not yet, but he is moving in very soon
Pholo: Oh good, then i will call you this evening
so we can talk about something.
Dorothy: Ok doc, enjoy the rest of your day.
Pholo: You too...

He stepped back holding his stethoscope

around his neck as he smiled. Terry looked at
the mirror as he reversed and caught Pholo
shaking his head in disbelief, he swallowed and
drove off as Dorothy put on her seat belt.

Terry: Did you have to tell him about us?

Dorothy: He is my doctor, he knows everything
about me......
Terry: How many people have you told so far?
Dorothy: My doctor and my friend,
Terry: Can we keep it on the low?
Dorothy: Am i embarrassing you?
Terry: of course not, but we are not married and
I come from a very strict family . my parents
might be late but I still respect the values they
taught me.
Dorothy: what does that mean?
Terry: it means I want to marry you so I don’t
have to be embarrassed by the introductions,
imagine me being introduced at a boy.
Dorothy: But we have already agreed that we
will get married
Terry: (sighed) I’m sorry, I’m just a little jumpy…
Dorothy: I’m sorry for making you
uncomfortable, its ok. I think I have seen Dr
Pholo somewhere, im trying to figure it out…oh
he attended my late mother, he used to work for
the public hospital. He tricked my mother,
please be careful. Is it possible for you to move
to another doctor?
Dorothy: not Paul, maybe they were mistaken. I
trust him with my life, we have been through so
much together.
Terry: cant you just trust me and go along with
this?
Dorothy: no babe, I cant do that. I trust Paul, im
vulnerable white lady and I’m not about to
switch doctors at my age. Is there something
going on? Does this have anything to do with
what he wants to talk to me about this evening?
Terry: I don’t know, but I once slept with his ex
wife so whatever he is going to tell you he is
lying and probably trying to paint me bad.
Dorothy: so you know each other?
Terry: a little bit, he know nothing about me
though. Whatever he will tell you will be a lie

Dorothy looked at him struggling to speak as

he sighed frustrated.

Dorothy: whats going on? Are you ok?

Terry: im just scared im going to lose you
because of my past.
Dorothy: im not a little girl, I also have a past so
I wont judge you. As long as you respect me
and love me we are good. Whatever Paul says
wont change anything..
Terry: ok..

Minutes later he parked the car, she got out and

headed to the house while Terry remained in the
car, he took out Momo`s phone and checked if
Pholo contacted her, but there was nothing.
unless he preferred to talk to her in person, he
had to go see her and talk to her before Pholo
does.

Dorothy: are you coming in?

Terry: Um, yes!

He stepped out and walked over as she looked

at him worriedly.
Dorothy: are you sure you’re okay?
Terry: (smiled) of course

He grabbed her from behind and kissed her as

they giggled.

At the mall

Later that afternoon Pholo walked in the shop

talking to the phone and headed to the body
lotions.

Pholo: babe I cant see it

Warona: Its there I swear I saw it days
back,wena kana wabe oe tola ele gone hoo. If

He turned around and shrunk his eyes carefully
passing every body lotion and found hers then
he smiled and sighed.

They laughed as he walked towards the queue,

he noticed Momo paying with sunglasses on .
Pholo: did you see the suits I sent you?
Warona: yes, I like the 3rd one

Momo smiled and waved, he flushed a smile

and waved back the he paid and walked out. He
got in his car as Momo sat in the car looking
through the plastics, he recognized Dorothy`s
car and sighed reversing.

Momo: Hi
Pholo: Hi Mrs Q

She laughed and started the car…

Pholo: change of wheels?

Momo: (smiled) Terry bought it
Pholo: I see, im not a car fanatic but id pick

Momo: thank you

He rolled up the window and drove off then he

dialled his assistant.

Him: doc
Pholo: please remind me to call Dorothy about

talked to the instructor and got them
memberships.
Him: yes sir

He hung up and drove off.

Momo lifted her head on the pillow and sat up
as Maya stared at her.

Maya: Momo what happened to your face?

Momo slowly stood up and walked to the

window with a swollen eye , Maya`s skin
crawled as she looked at her closed eye and the
bruises on her neck. The room was a mess too,
and she picked a few things as Maya stared
through the window.

Maya: Monyana ke bua le wena the! What

happened? Go open the door! Areye wago
mpulela.

Maya paced to the main door and waited

holding the lock so she can open as soon as the
door is unlocked, but Momo just stood behind
the door.

Maya: I don’t have the keys

Momo: what do you mean you don’t have the
keys to your house? Come to the window.

She moved to the window then Momo opened it

and closed her robe tying it.

Momo: Terry left while I was sleeping, he must

of thought its safer to lock the house .
Maya: I asked you about your eye, what
happened?
Momo : I was mopping the floor then I slipped
and hit my head on the dining table.
Maya: Im not a child , did Terry put his hands on
you? Why am I even asking because I know he
attacks everyone. (took out her phone) Im
calling the police
Momo: Don’t do that, I can handle this.
Maya: How ? this man will kill you, his baby
mama died a suspicious death and you still
have the energy to support him? You need to
report him.
Momo: You never reported Titus, please don’t
do that
Maya: Titus and I were fighting, we beat each
other with care. You didn’t fight with Terry he
beat you black and blue, Titus never even put
bruises on me we slapped each other and he
never fought me unless he was defending
himself. Momo? (dialed the police) Its ringing
Momo: I said I will handle this , its not like you
care! You just want this to come out so you can
shine. You have been ignoring me for a long
time hase gone gompieno-
Maya: im trying to help you, im not the one with
the blue eye, im sure you have headache too. If
you don’t report this guy he will only get worse.
Monna o agiwa ka go repotiwa gorea bake
Momo: I will handle this, it was just a
misunderstanding, he saw Big T`s call and
assumed I was cheating, he got angry when I
told him he is my father because he thinks I’m
lying and I can understand why. Id also assume
someone is fooling me.
Maya: so what he did is ok? People are calling
you at work, gatwe you missed a very important
meeting.
Momo: ill talk to them when Terry gets back, he
has my phone. Please just leave this to me, I
appreciate you being worried but I’m fine. Don’t
go around telling people my relationship issues,
Terry loves me ,I just haven’t been nice to him
and I want to change that. If I don’t humble
myself I will die alone, I also want to get married
and this time I will respect my marriage.
Maya: Terry doesn’t love you if he can be this
rough, trust me.
Momo: I will handle this. Don’t tell people my
relationship issues. Please go before Terry gets
back abe e nna ekare I called you.

Maya took a deep breath looking at her, she

shook her head in disbelief and got back in her
care then she drove off.

Minutes later Wantlha drove through the gate

and stepped out, she stood by the car looking at
the closed door. There was no sign of anyone
home, but she got out and knocked just to be
sure, there was no answer so she got back in
the car and drove off.
Inside the house, Momo cooked lunch and
dished for everyone then she took a bath and
laid down. Hours later happy knocked on the
door shouting her

Happy: mama!
Momo opened the window and looked outside
as the school bus drove off. She smiled at her
and she frowned.

Happy: mama!
Momo: put your bag down, ill give you food. We
are waiting for daddy to bring the keys.
Her: ok

She gave her the food through the window then

she sat down and ate while Momo chatted with
her standing by the window.

Later that evening Terry leaned over and kissed

Dorothy …

Terry: ill see you tomorrow

Dorothy: Please spend the night
Terry: I have to go, otherwise my landlord might
chase my sister and her daughter out thinking
im playing her, I havent paid the rent the last 2
months.
Dorothy: why didn’t you say anything? How
much is it?
Terry: 4k per month
Dorothy: please cash it out from this ATM card.
Terry: thank you babe, you’re a life savoir .
Dorothy: Goodnight, greet your sister and niece
for me.
Terry: will do.

He kissed her one more time and walked out,

once outside he stopped looking at her car then
he went back in the house and grabbed her
keys from the key board.

Terry: can I get your range? I love it

Dorothy: (laughed) it was my husbands, I’ve
been trying to sell it for months but people want
to offer me very little. You can have it
Terry: like take it take it? As in mine in my name?
Dorothy: (laughed) yes silly, but you have to
move in with me.
Terry: of course. I love you so much

He kissed her and walked out.

At Momo`s house.

Meanwhile happy scratched herself as

mosquitos bite her , Momo stood by the
window looking at her tearfully.

Momo: happy? Don’t sleep, keep fanning them

away.

An unfamiliar car drove through then Terry

stepped out, his daughter got up scratching
herself. He picked her up and unlocked the
house then he walked in, he inspected her face
and handed her a small plastic.

Terry: I got you painkillers, we need to talk.

There is something I need to tell you. Lets sit
down.

She took a deep breath and sat down holding a

pharmacy plastic bag. Terry sighed and looked

Momo stared at him as he looked at her

reluctantly then he brushed his daughter`s hair.
She wasn’t sure what he was thinking but it
clearly had his daughter in it. The way he looked
at her and back at Momo, their eyes met and
there was instant regret.
He put his daughter down then he lifted his
tshirt and put it over his face heading to the
bedroom. Momo changed the channel and put
cartoons then she walked to the bedroom
where she opened and stood at the door staring
at Terry sitting on the bed with his face down.
He turned his face and looked at her then he
tapped on the bed for her to sit.

Terry: Come here, sit down.

She walked over and sat besides him but he
held her and help her sit on his lap, he put his
arm around her waist and sighed.

Terry: Are you ok? I mean your eye.

Momo: ill be fine, I have a headache but ill drink
this after. What do you want to talk about?
Terry: I know that I have a problem controlling
my jealousy when it comes to you, but I’m
working on it because the last thing I want is to
hurt you like this. I don’t love anyone else
except you, I didn’t even love Tumi. Its just
unfortunate that the ones you love don’t fall
pregnant for you, one nights stands and no
strings attached fall pregnant at first touch. I
am not capable of loving anyone except you…I
know that from the very beginning I wasn’t
meant to be anything but a sex partner but I
love you now and im doing everything I can to
meet your expectations. I’m sorry for hitting you,
I was angry and I let it control me. When I left
prison I sore I wont ever put my hands on
anyone , I am disappointed that not only did I do
it I did it to the person I love the most.
Momo: its ok, I understand . what did you want
to talk about?
Terry: oh, um… I found a tender for plumbing. Ill
be able to get back my equipment after doing
this, im doing plumbing for a new bed and
breakfast in Shorobe, that means moving there
because we are on a deadline. You know some
subcontracts I have to move akere?
Momo: yeah,
Terry: I wanted to surprise you…come here,

He grabbed her hand and led her outside,

Momo frowned looking at the range.
Terry: here, get in

She got in and started the car while he sitting

on the passenger seat.

Terry: I bought it for you as soon as I received

my pay.

Momo smiled in disbelief, he smiled back and

laughed as she frowned blushing.

Momo: don’t play me

Terry: I’m not playing…its yours.

She leaned over and hugged her as they hugged.

At Momo`s mothers…

Wantlha handed her mother the wedding

invitation and sighed as her mother read it.

Her: Its from who between them?

Wantlha: From Warona, I became her friend
through Momo, but now I don’t know if I should
go or not. I don’t even know if I should show her
the invitation or not. She asked me to be her
best lady too
Her: do you want to go ?
Wantlha: besides that she and momo aren’t on
speaking terms there is nothing between her
and me that would excuse me. What should I do?
I don’t want to be a bad sister.
Her: I really don’t know, go tell Momo and ask
her how she feels .
Wantlha: ok, ill do that.

She sighed and put the invitation back in her

bag.

At the hospital…

Later on Pholo took off his gloves and threw

them in the bin as his patient slowly got off the
bed.

Pholo: you’re doing so well young lady

Her: (laughed) You think? I just feel like im on
my last days.
Pholo: Dorothy ? of all my eldest patients youre
the most active of them all, you cant let this
backpain bring you down. Maybe you been
working too much,
Dorothy: I have a boyfriend your age, (laughed)
maybe that’s why my back hurts
Pholo: (laughed and gave her high five) ,You go
Dorothy, o ithatswa madi?
Dorothy: (laughed) whats that? The way youre
laughing I know its not good.
Pholo: it means youre detoxing using fresh
blood

They laughed out loud…

Pholo: As long as he respects you and loves

you then youre good.
Dorothy: he is a sweet hard working young man,
he is responsible for his sister and her daughter.
Has no parents and he is just the sweetest.
Pholo: ok, we are done.

He bent his arm as if he was asking for an

english dance, she hooked her hand and stood
up as he walked her to the parking lot.

Pholo: your next appointment is 6 weeks from

now. Its just a strain nothing seroius, tell that
boy to go easy on you.
Dorothy: (laughed) Ill do that, he is waiting for
me in the car.
Pholo: here?
Dorothy: yes
Pholo: (laughed) Dodos wa jola the!
Dorothy: (laughed) Stop it Paul, I know what jola
means, my house helper likes saying mjolo ki

They laughed out loud then Pholo opened the
door for, Terry snapped out of his nap and sat
up looking at them. Pholo paused and smiled.

Pholo: (laughed) That’s your boyfriend Dorothy?

Dorothy: (smiled) Yeah, (to Terry) um,
sweetheart say hi to my doctor, his name is Dr
Paul, well it’s a setswana kind of Paul that
means healing but I just call him Paul .

Terry`s heart skipped as he cleared his throat

and sat up straight stretching his hand out to
Pholo. Pholo smiled and laughed.

Pholo: Nice to meet you, um, what’s his name

again?
Dorothy: Terry, he is a little shy
Terry: (swallowed hard) Nice to meet you

At Momo`s House

Momo furrowed her eyebrows confused, there

was clearly something that Pholo knew which
he thought Pholo told her. She put on a
disappointed face and shook her head.

Momo: Please do
She put the food down and sat down looking at
him, he sat on the glass table and leaned over
holding her hands.

Terry: I don’t love Dorothy and it was never

about love, I have never kissed her,

Momo`s heart skipped as she stared at him. He

took a deep breath and sighed shaking and
popping his knuckles…

Terry: I know I fucked up but I did it for us, she

offered me money and you were pestering me
with money issues so I fell for it. She owns a
hotel and I wanted that for us…for me and you
and our daughter.
Momo took a deep breath and sighed looking at
him.

Momo: Wait, you cheated on me? So what does

this have to do Pholo? Why did you think he told
me?

Terry`s face dropped as he looked at her .

Terry: he didn’t tell you anything?

Momo: No, he just said hi and went his way. I
bumped into him at the shop.
Terry: He is Dorothy`s doctor, but either way I
was still going to confess,
Momo: is there even a contract?
Terry: No, but she promised m-
Momo: But it doesn’t matter, please pack your
things and leave, don’t forget your daughter .
you’re ungrateful. You cheated on me and beat
me, left me bruised that I cant even face people
then cheat on me .
Terry: we can work on this, its not like I killed
anyone , you’ve cheated before and Pholo
forgave you. It happens
Momo: don’t even mention my past in this, you
hit me meanwhile you were cheating,
Terry: im sorry
Momo: ok

She stood up and walkd to the bedroom as he

following, knowing the type of a person he was
she couldnt talk any further, the last thing she
needed was him beating her again. He grabbed
her hand and turned her around, she dropped
her angry face and looked at him calmly.
Terry: please tell me you understand why I did
what I did, I see how wrong I am ,I apologize
and I want us to fix this.
Momo: ok, no problem. I just need a minute to
digest all this.
Terry: ok

Her phone rang in his pocket then he handed it

to her.

Momo: hello
Driver: hi, we have a mechanical problem with
the chol bus so we will pick the children an hour
late.
Momo: dint worry we will pick her
Driver: thank you
She hung up and sighed..

Momo: You need to go pick Happy

Terry: ee mma
Momo: use my new car, she likes it. We will talk
when you get back
Terry: ok,

He turned around and walked out then Momo

quickly packed their things, she pulled out the
baby’s cot and a box full of toys, she placed
everything on the stoop and packed a few of
her things then she got in her car and drove off.

At school…
Meanwhile Terry put his daughter in the car and
drove off as his phone rang.

Terry: babe
Dorothy: My friend`s daughter says you have a
family, why did you lie to me?
Terry: she is lying
Dorothy: it’s the fact that you’re wiling to keep
lying even after getting caught in a lie. Don’t
come to my house, ever! I want my car and you
should drop it at the police station before the
end of today or else im reporting it stolen. Its
still in my name so very much mine, bye!
Terry: ok, ill return it

She cut the call, Terry clenched his jaws and

drove off.
At Momo`s house

Terry stopped the car and frowned looking at

his things outside, he left his daughter in the car
and walked over then he picked a note.

Note: Its over between us, you’ve ruined my life,

my life has been all about you ever since
I met you. Its about time I gave myself the
attention I need. Thank you for everything.

His heart pounded with anger as he walked

back to the car and sat inside, he tried to think
of a place to stay but he still couldn’t think of
anything, or how he`d feed his daughter, send
her to school or even shelter her.

Happy: I want food

Terry: wait, keep quiet for a minute babe ok.

She begun crying as he leaned back trying to

think, her crying got louder and hysterical then
he angrily stepped out and opened the boot. He
took her out and laid her down in the boot then
he placed the tshirt on her face and pressed
down. She begun kicking and scratching him
while he clenched his teeth pressing her mouth
and nose hard a bone snapped. The struggle
stopped and there was silence, he sighed
leaning back and looked around as he closed
the boot. He got in the car and took out his
wallet, he just needed P40 for a sharp knife.

At Wantlha`s house..

Later on Wantlha danced her way out of the

kitchen holding two glasses and handed her
sister another glass..

Wantlha: im just happy to have you back! I lost

you lost your mind.
Momo: I was blinded by societal expectations , I
wanted to be married and prove everyone
wrong who keeps saying I’m not a good wife. I
made a mistake that almost all men make but
nobody is letting me forget. I’m going to move
out I swear, he wont find me . I know Terry is
violent and if pushed he can do worse.
Wantlha: you can stay here until you feel free,

There was a knock on the door, Wantlha walked

to the window and looked outside before
turning to her.

Wantlha: hide! Its him

She put down the glass and ran to the bedroom
then Wantlha opened the door…terry walked in
as his eyes wondered around.

Terry: where is Momo?

Wantlha: she is not here, she parked her car
here and left, sorry

Terry grabbed her by the throat and plunged the

knife between her breasts…

Terry: Momo! If you don’t come out ill keep

stabbing until she stops breathing. Im not
playing with you, heta o tswe ko o iphithileng
teng. By the way im stil going to find you!
Wantlha: ( screaming) MOMO COME OUT!
MOMO HELP ME! HE IS KILLING ME !

He waited for a few seconds and she didn’t

come out then he stabbed her over and over.

At Wantlha`s House

People watched as paramedics carried Momo`s

unresponsive body in to the ambulance, the
police officer pulled the long crime scene tape
and asked everyone to step back as the other
two carried the body bag out of the house into
the second ambulance.

A neighbor dialed Wantlha`s mother …

Her: hello?
Her: I don’t know how to tell you this but the
police cars are here, ambulances and its just
messy crime scene, it seems like Momo ran
over here and hid in her sisters house then her
boyfriend, the one she divorced for, that’s the
one. He stabbed Wantlha and Momo used that
time to run leaving her sister alone with her
lepantiti boyfriend. He then followed her ,nnyaa

She carried on talking as the police officer

asked everyone to go outside the yard…

At Momo`s mother`s

Momo`s mother hung up the phone and put on

her shoes as her husband put on her jacket.

Him: Why did she go to her house knowing she

has a psycho boyfriend?
Her: I don’t know, who knows what happens in
Momo`s head, this girl has never ben ok
upstairs, she better hope her boyfriend didn’t kill
her.

They walked out as the police called..

At Dorothy`s house…

Later on Dorothy picked the call as she bent

over doing back exercises …

Dorothy: hello?
Voice: Hello maam, this is detective Molema in
Maun police station, we have found a car
registered to your name at a crime-
Dorothy: its Terry, I borrowed him my car, he
probably committed he crime, what happened?
Voice: He committed suicide
Dorothy: oh God, he must have been so
depressed. I broke up with him earlier today. Oh
lord Jesus forgive me
Voice: he committed some of the most heinous
crimes , I doubt it has anything to do with that
but please do pass by and talk to me so I can
establish a timeframe of the events.
Dorothy: ok, I will be downtown in 5 to 10.
Voice: bye

She hung up and covered her mouth in shock as

she dialed her part time driver.

At the police station…

Later on she walked towards the car with a

police officer who opened the door for her then
she got in.
Dorothy: I feel so guilty, maybe if I hadn’t
dumped him he wouldn’t have done this,
Officer: or maybe you got lucky because
perhaps he was planning to scam you.
Dorothy: I guess youre right
officer: did he have any other friends you know
of ? we are trying to find his daughter, she is
nowhere to be found.
Dorothy: I don’t know, he didn’t say she is his,
he told me she was his sister`s daughter .
Officer: bye

She got in the car and drove off without

checking the boot too.

At Pholo`s house
Meanwhile Pholo kicked the ball with his baby
boy while the little girl was sitting a few feet
away from them building her blocks. Pholo and
Yame dribbled and Pholo kicked the ball harder,
it bounced on Peo`s and she almost fell face
down, Pholo held in his laughter and even put
his hand on his mouth as the Yame laughed out
loud.

Yame: (laughing) the ball was like pong!

Pholo: (laughed) don’t laugh Yam ok

Peo`s lips curved as she got ready to cry but

Pholo picked her up and shushed her.

Pholo: how about ice cream?

Both: yes!
She slid down and they ran to the house as
Warona stepped outside and him her phone in
shock. Pholo got it and watched a video of
Terry sitting on top of Momo stabbing her, them
fighting for the knife and the punches landing
on Momo`s face. Knowing how fearful she was
he could only imagine the horror of being
stabbed countless times.

Pholo: oh God
Warona: do you think she will survive?
Pholo: if she got help quickly.

Pholo`s joints got weak as he slow sat down

with a pounding heart.

Pholo: would you mind if I went to check on her?

When you were with someone for so long when
something tragic happens you feel for them, but
i can only go if you permit me because I don’t
want to do it in secret id rather do it right or not
at all.
Warona: id rather we just keep our distance,
youll get updated through newspapers. I don’t
want her to get the wrong signals.
Pholo: fair enough..where is the food?
Warona: come eat, I was about to call you guys
before seeing that video. Im so sad for
Wantlha…

At the hospital…

The next day Momo took a deep breath and

sighed trying to calm down waiting for an
update about her sister.
Doctor: she didn’t make. I’m sorry

Momo turned her head away still laying on the

bed, her tears wet the pillow as the doctor
walked out . Momo`s mother and stepfather
walked in

Her: why? (angrily) Why did you go to her house

knowing you’re running away from your thug
boyfriend.
Momo: (tearfully) I’m sorry, I didn’t know he
would follow me there or even-

Her breathing got difficult as she whizzed

straining the stitches on her chest, her mother
walked over and smacked her on the chest
tearing her stitches as Momo closed her eyes
helplessly, Maya and Big
T walked in on the second punch, Maya
dropped her plastic and pushed her away,
pushed so hard Momo`s mother fell on her butt.

Maya: That’s enough! If you beat her again ke a

after having surgery.

Big T: (to the man) wena le wena o useless

Him: she killed our daughter, what do you

At Wantlha's House

Wantlha coughed blood reaching out to Terry

desperately touching his chest tearfully...
Wantlha: (losing breath) - erry I'm pregnant!
Please

He lifted the bloody knife, she put her hand

against her heart but he slid the blade through
her fingers and pinned her hand to her chest
with the knife as she fell face down with thick
blood flowing....

He bent over flipping her and pulled the knife

then he walked towards the main bedroom
were he kicked the door open and walked in, he
paused looking at the room... It was just the
bed and wall wardrobe so he walked over and
opened the doors, there was nothing. There
was a thud, like something slipping on the floor
and falling, he turned around and charged...

Meanwhile Momo's heart almost stopped as

she looked at her sister with her eyes open, she
tried to stand but she slipped on the blood then
she crawled towards the carpet and finally
stood as Terry ran over, she opened the door
and ran outside screaming...

Momo: BATHO NTHUSAA MOTHO WA MPOAA!

She approached the gate and pushed it open

but Terry grabbed her by the hair as she
screamed so hard the flesh hanging at the roof
of her throat hurt. Her joints got weaker as
Terry pinned her to the ground with his knee
and lifted the knife..

Momo: Terry I'm sorry! Please i love you..

He lowered his hand as she tried to push him,

she didn't feel that first cut until she blood
spilling, from his face he wasn't going to spare
her. Now she knew he meant it when he said
he'd kill his child, her and himself... She turned
her head around hoping for help but people
were just screaming, nobody was coming over!

Neighbour: (screaming) Heh motho o bolaa

motho, thusaaa

Momo blocked the knife with her hand and

watched the blade go through her head almost
into her eye, clearly begging wouldn't help and
she wasn't going to die without a fight . She
turned her head and noticed a fist size stone
then she grabbed it and hit him on the eye, he
lost balance dropping the knife but gained
balance almost immediately looking for the
knife, Momo grabbed it and threw it towards the
people screaming, Terry punched her so hard
she just saw herself lifting her head, he sat on
top of her punching her and she reached over
grabbing his balls but he jumped so quick they
slipped out of her hands.

Terry: (panting) Yeses you want to pull my balls?

He stood over her and stomped over her then

he picked a full brick and bit his lower lip to
smash her head but she dodged to the side and
reached up grabbed his balls with two hands
this time.

Momo: (screaming) Please help me! Get him off

me!

More people gathered and pointed talking in

shock, others called the police while others
took videos....

Terry bit his lower lip and punched her on the

face, she fell on her back and he placed his
hands on her neck squeezing her neck, he
squeezed so hard and even turned her head to
the side to snap that neck...

Meanwhile Momo's felt her whole body get

weak, she let go of him and sighed closing her
eyes ready for take off. Voices of people
screaming became distant, she lost sense of
touch because she couldn't feel any pain nor
did she see what was going on. Everything
became peacefully dark....

Terry let go of her and stood over her body

observing her for any movement then he
checked her pulse, he got up and and ran
towards the main road where a police car
passed not far from him.

He walked towards a tree in the Bush and

jumped on the branch then he climbed up and
sat on the Branch taking out a rope, he tried it
around his neck then on the Branch, he took a
deep breath looking down then he jumped as
the rope around his neck caught his body
shaking off the leaves as he kicked '

At the psychologist`s

Momo leaned back and took a sip of water from

the white disposable cup then she slowly
placed it on the table, her middle finger was still
straight and wouldn’t bend even after so many
trips to the physiotherapy.

Psychologist: Why did you miss your last 2

sessions?

She looked into space for a while and looked

back at her.

Momo: I feel like there is nothing new you can

say to get rid of my depression and anxiety , I’m
dealing with things that happened and I can't
change them, every day I’m reminded of my
mistakes and I’m lonely. Its not that men don’t
want me, I am just scared….i am afraid of men, I
know that if I try to date I will get cheated and
cry or I will meet a man that will beat me, and I
somehow believe I will never find a man like
Pholo, he had his flaws but that man was never
violent no matter what. He walked away from
arguments like he was getting paid for it. Im
afraid to have a child through IVF because what
if I fall in love and hate my child like my mother
hates me. I don’t understand how a mother can
hate her child, there must be an explanation and
I don’t want my child to feel this pain. (tearfully)
the only thing im good at is my job, my boss
asked me to be a partner, like im not just a
senior accountant, he asked me to register a
company and partner with him. It’s a lot of
money but I have no one to celebrate with and
I’ve killed a lot of people.
Her: I hear your reasons for not coming, so why
did you finally come?
Momo: I was bored at home,
Her: Thank you for your honesty, do you know
that you’re not depressed? You’re not, you used
to be but you’re not, you just wont forgive
yourself for wrecking your marriage . Nobody
deserves to live like that, people have cheated
and even made children out there, but they
move on and be happy. Your sisters death
wasn’t your fault, just like Happy`s death wasn’t
your fault. Terry was a chapter in your life, if
only you could close that chapter and start a
new one. People have lost their spouses but
they eventually move on.
Momo: That’s easier said than done but i hear
you.
Her: where are you going to spend your
chrismas holidays?
Momo: watching a movie in my house
Her: You should do a bucket list, it will come in
handy.

Momo smiled at the idea and curved her lips

nodding considering the it.

Minutes later she walked out of the building

and got in the car, she played music and joined
the traffic as she thought about that bucket list.
For a moment she wondered why she didn’t just
adopt…she would definitely qualify , she had a
stable job, a home and it costs roughly P60 .
She just needed a baby girl who needed a
mother, the thought of how she used to go to
bed at night and fantasize about her having a
mother, she knew for a fact that baby girl would
love her back. Perhaps someone between ages
2 and 7, a child that could speak but not too late
to mold into a desired character. Yeah, adoption
was at the top of her list, and since it takes a
process perhaps he could just pick his baby girl
and buy her something nice for Christmas ,
second on her list…buying shares! Wait, was
this even a bucket list or new year resolutions?
She needed something fun, like going to New
York and Paris, even china if finances allow,
after all she hadn’t rally done much with her
savings. The thought got so exciting she
actually got her phone and researched about
these cost…

Minutes later she parked the car and walked in

the restaurant busy pressing her phone, she
pulled the chair and sat down smiling at her
phone, the disbelief of realizing she could
actually afford to travel to these places! Now
she needed a camera…
Meanwhile two tables away Pholo put the fork
and knife down and sipped a juice before
catching an interesting view, Momo sitting by
the glass window blushing at the phone. That
smile was probably from a chat with a guy, still
it was nice to see her happy. Warona noticed
his eyes looking behind her and turned looking,
Pholo cleared his throat and took out his wallet.

Warona: Do you love her?

Pholo: She cheated on me countless times, she
is a closed chapter of my life, I haven’t talked to
her in 2 years I will go 100 more if it gives us
peace. I am a firm believer of faithfulness and
family structure. You’re my wife and I love you, I
respect you and I will never ever allow you to
feel as if any woman is a threat to our marriage ,
so when you look at her see her as a closed
chapter of my life.
He smiled looking in her eyes, it was
unbelievable that she was so beautiful and yet
still felt a bit insecure every now and then , it felt
good though. At least he knew for someone
was afraid to lose him for a change...

Warona: what? Why are you smiling?

How do you tell your woman you’re happy she

gets a little jealous about you, he smiled again
and sighed.

Pholo: I love you, cant wait for us to enjoy this

Christmas at the farm. I feel like an adult now.
Warona: It will be the best, Itai and his wife
together with their children plus our close
friends... Le nna i feel like a real wife. Its going
to be fun.

Meanwhile Momo got her order and begun

eating, she caught a glimpse of Pholo and
turned looking at him. He looked so handsome
with that haircut, Warona had turned him into
this cute tictok looking guy with this wavy fade
haircut, and Lord! the haircuts and new style of
dress enhanced him . She observed him
laughing with Warona, she wasn’t sure what
they were talking about but he sure was into her,
even wiping her lip while she reached over and
tasted his food. She turned back to her phone
and carried her research on. Pholo and his wife
walked towards the glass double doors, he held
the door for her and glanced at Momo, their
eyes locked and she swallowed. He slightly
lifted his hand greeting her quietly , Momo
greeted him back and picked her drink as he
walked out and put his arm around his wife.
Through the glass she watched him open the
car door for her, she got in then he laughed as
thy chatted before he got in the car and drove
off.

She finished her food, paid and walked out as

her phone rang.

Momo: hi
Maya: hey, just sent you Titus`s wedding
invitation. All the rich people will be there so be
ready to pick a soul mate
Momo: mxm, scammers and pyramid scheme
gurus, kampa ka reka cucumber.
Maya: cucumber for?
Momo: shem, youll learn one day. Cucumber
could have saved me a lot of troubles but I
never knew it tasted so good until late.
Maya: (graped and laughed) oh that, girl even
flicking your bean does the deed, you know your
father ke motho hela. My finger is my go to
whatwhat, sesgolo ke peace in marriage. Akena
taba le dick, I love money way too much to even
think about cheating.

They laughed out loud..

Maya: Anyways bye, I’m getting ready for Dubai,

will talk to you when I get back.
Momo: bye

She hung up and sighed getting in the car. As

soon as she rolled down the window another
car stopped next to her, she and the driver
caught each other staring, she just froze staring
in his ocean blue eyes. What a fine white young
man, he looked like he worked out too. He
stepped out of the car and walked over, her
heart skipped as she started the car.

Him: Hi, I’m Jason

Momo: Momo
Him: can I buy you coffee? If it doesn’t
inconvenience you.
Momo: sure

She stopped the engine, he opened the door for

her and she locked up then they walked back in
the restaurant.
