Banzi and i are prepared ourselves  to go to the doctor.I decided,no make up or a weave today.I wore my white vest and my long skit with sandles.I went downstairs where Banzi was waiting.

Banzi: you sure do take your time.
Me:Can we go now?
We drove to the doctor in silent.When we got there,it was already time for our appointment. We were led in to the doctors office.
Doctor:Mr and Mrs Zulu
Me:Its Ms Khumalo
Doctor:Please forgive.You may take a sit.
[Me and Banzi sit down]
Doctor:So,what can i help you with today?
Banzi:Eh doctor,my woman has been feeling really sick lately, vomitting around,mostly.
Me:I can speak for myself Zulu
Doctor:Is that all mam?
Me:Its the vomitting and always feeling tired.

[I disappeared into the toilet in the office and pee inside the container he gave me]

Ma: Yazi i forgot to thank you my baby for everything.

Me:There's no need to thank me ma. Its my duty remember?
[She kept quiet]
Me: Anyways which flowers are we getting for her.? Maybe we should ask MaZano.

There were so many DJs from Lesotho and SA and many artist from Lesotho,Sa and Botswana.I can tell this was going to be a good day for us.

Me: No Banzi ngiryte,im fine even if i needed something i will go get it myself.Im not sick,im just pregnant.
Him: I dont want you to over work yourself. You are carry Zulu.
