Chapter 19

" I enjoyed this weekend, I loved every minute of the party"
We were in bed after everyone was finally gone, Yanga's party was 3 days long. I don't know how they do it, and I am younger than them but I don't think I want to go through that again.
Me" Now we look forward to your 50th"
Yanga" Hahahaa, or your 30th"
Me" That's three years from now"
Yanga" We have a lot of planning to do"
"If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?"
Me" That's random"
Yanga" So? Can you just answer me"
Me" I'd want to tour Africa first"
"Then if I still have money left, I would go to Greece and then Brazil"
Yanga" Where is your passport?"
Me" I don't know, I don't even know why you made me get a passport"
Yanga" Pack"
Me" Pack?"
Yanga" I have to go fetch the kids, so theu can also pack. We are going on a holiday"
I moved from his chest so I could look at him.
Me" I work"
Yanga" I know"
"You will work while we travel, technology and internet"
Me" I have to report to HR"
Yanga" Hahaha you have Andrew and Sange as your clients, trust me, you can pull this off. And I've sorted out that already"
Me" How long have you been planning this?"
Yanga" Before we got married"
"Pack, unless you are planning on shopping in every city"
He got up and wore his sliders.
Yanga" I'll be back"
Me" Are you serious?"
Yanga" Do forty year old men joke around?"
We both laughed
Me" Hahaha how would I know?"
Yanga" Exactly"
"Tick tock baby"
*

He wasn't joking, we started in Cape Town, then Durban, Mpumalanga and then went to Johannesburg. After that we went to Swaziland, Botswana and other neighboring countries. I don't want to lie, when we got to Mozambique I didn't want to leave and Qhama fell in love with Ghana but Yanga and Hlalumi loved Zimbabwe more. Lunje thought she found love in Dominican republic, Yanga and I almost lost our Nanny for a second there. I didn't blame her, the place is beautiful, the people were kind but were way too early for the carnival. We didn't go to every country but I was thankful that we went to Madagascar because Qhama loved that movie.
Yanga" Did you have fun?"
Me" Are you being serious?"
He kissed me
Yanga" Show me"
We had the best sex after getting used to the discomfort that comes with having sex at the beach. Movies lied by the way, ain't nothing cute about having sex at the beach! Nothing.
Yanga" I love you"
Me" I know, and I love you"
"Thank you for this"
Yanga" I would give you the moon if I could"
"Also, we will after to cut back on going to restaurants after this"
I giggled then gave him a kiss
Me" We will also have to cut back on your Hennessey?"
Yanga" Hahahaha yes, and buying new hair"
Me" Whose going to tell Hlalumi about the budget cuts? Because your daughter has expensive taste"
Yanga" Hahaha since you gave birth to her, I will let you handle that"
Me" I'd love to see you tell Qhama that he won't be getting any new sneakers for a while"
Yanga" How about we have sex in our room them we will figure out how to deal with the unemployed people later"
Me" I like that idea"
"I also wouldn't mind extending our trip"
Yanga" Hahaha we still need our jobs"
"Let's not push it"
I got this feeling in my stomach, a reminder that I will one day forget this. Forget him, forget our family. I wasn't ready for that.
"Yazini?"
I snapped out of it and looked at him
Yanga" Are you okay?"
I nodded
Me" I think I have sand in my honey pot"
Yanga" Hahaha this was your idea"
Me" Hey, you didn't object"
"Old age has changed you"
Yanga" Hahaha you are boring"
Me" Yea right"
Yanga" Uzilibele you used to be so shy and now look at you"
Me" And you are responsible for it?"
Yanga" Well, I don't like to take credit"
Me" Hahaha since when?"
Yanga" Woah, when have I ever?"
Me" Always"
Yanga" This marriage hurts"
Me" It hurts me more than it hurts you"
Yanga" Then why are you smiling?"
Me" Because you make me happy, I have absolutely no reason to be sad or angry. I married you, everyday is filled with happiness and rainbows"
"Oh, and glitters"
We both laughed because Hlalumi loves Rainbows and glitters.
Me" When you are ready, I'd really like us to try for another baby. I think we are both ready now"
Yanga" I'd love that, I want a boy"
Me" I don't think it works like that"
Yanga" There are positions, if I hit it right, we are guaranteed a son"
Me" Maybe we should start practicing"

After our trip Qhama was back to reality, we left before his December holidays but he was done with exams. Then we returned after Valentine's, so he had a lot of catching up to do but he didn't care because we were all still in holiday mode.
Me" Do you need any help?"
Qhama" Nope, I will be fine"
Me" Let me help"
Qhama" I just have maths and English, they really haven't covered much"
Me" I'm good at Maths"
Qhama" So am I"
"I always ask for help when I get stuck"
Me" Should I take the dogs?"
Qhama" Are you okay?"
Me" Yea"
Qhama" Are you sure?"
I walked towards him then set on the edge of the bed.
Me" Hlalumi will need you and all I ask, is for you to be there for her. I am not asking you to raise her but I just want you to look after her"
Qhama" I allways look after her"
Me" I know you do, but Yanga and I are old"
"We won't always be around"
Qhama" Did something happen?"
"Is Bhuti okay?"
Me" Yes, well, not really he is still has heartburn"
We both giggled
Qhama" Don't die"
"Please don't die"
I smiled at him
Me" It's not up to me but I will try my best to stay alive. Until we are both old and smelly"
Qhama" That's impossible. You'll get old before me"
Me" Hahaha no I won't, you just wait and see"
I wanted to tell him about the Alzheimer's but I just couldn't do it.
"I'll let you go back to your school work"
Qhama" Goodnight"
Me" Goodnight baby"
Qhama" Way too old to be your baby now"
Me" You'll always be 'baby' to me"
Qhama" Sange would say "Baby the KhaSaYa squad loves you" hahaha I can't wait to see her traumatized her children"
We both laughed, Qhama was always with us. This was before Yanga, Sange used to combine our names and tell Qhama we are rappers.
Me" Hahaha they will have Khanya to guide them on how to deal with Sange"
Qhama" And you"
I smiled
Me" And me"
"Let me go back to my husband, he is probably suffering in there"

Yanga was in bed and Hlalumi was watching t.v.
Me" Shouldn't you be sleeping?"
Hlalumi" Was waiting for you"
Me" But I already kissed you and tucked you in"
Hlalumi" I wasn't sleepy when you did it"
Me" Hahaha but Hlahla, why did you let me tuck you in"
Hlalumi" Because I like it when you sing to me"
Me" Are you sleepy now?"
Hlalumi" Nope, we can watch Marsha and the Bear"
Me" But I want to sleep"
Hlalumi" But you still have to sing for me"
Me" Okay, wake me up when you are ready to sleep"
Hlalumi" Mommy"
Me" Hlalumi?"
Hlalumi" Udikiwe"
Yes!!!!!!!!
Me" No, never baby"
She smiled.
Yanga" Goodnight girls"
Me" Your Dad can sleep yena?"
She nodded
Hlalumi" He can't sing"
We watch 3 episodes of Marsha, then watched Peppa Pig before she started yawning. I picked her up and we went to her room, I tucked her in again.
Hlalumi" Mommy, sing for me"
Me" Any song?"
She nodded but I knew she wanted the same song. Elton John's Your song but the Ellie Goulding cover.
"It's a little bit funny, this feelin' inside 
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy, if I did 
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no 
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show 
Oh, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do 
My gift is my song and this one's for you.
And you can tell everybody this is your song 
It may be quite simple but now that it's done 
I hope you don't mind 
I hope you don't mind 
That I put down in words 
How wonderful life is while you're in the world" 🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵
She was fast asleep by the time I finished.
Me" I love you Hlala"
I went back to my bedroom and Yanga was still awake.
Yanga" I think she is just acting up because you're pregnant and you said she will be a big sister"
Me" You said she has to give up her room"
"You made it worse"
Yanga" Hahaha, just come to bed. I want to cuddle my wife"
