The Inheritance (Book 2) [Complete]

Hello 30

Chapter 22

"Why is Qhama so tall?"
Khanya asked
Qhama" Because I'm seventeen years old"
Khanya" Are you having sex?"
Sange" He is a virgin! No one is having sex with someone with braces"
Me" You don't have to answer these idiots"
Sange" Hahaha Qhama you know I am always looking out for you"
Qhama" And making me uncomfortable"
Sange" That's just my job as the fun Aunt"
Khanya" I am your Guncle"
They both roared with laughter, I missed these two. I know Qhama did too, he could be anywhere right now but he is outside with us.
Me" Guncle? Really?"
Khanya" Did I stutter?, because Guncle will represent Qhama during the lobola negotiations"
Qhama" Stop calling yourself that hahaha please"
Khanya" Hewethu, are you the B in the LGBTQ?"
This time I was laughing harder
"Someone has to ask, akhonto sana lwam"
Me" He is straight"
" You are straight right?"
He nodded
Qhama" Why would you ask?"
Sange" This is PE, you ask that question all the time. PE men are unpredictable"
Me" Hahaha not bonke"
Sange" Chill"
Me" Voestek"
Khanya" Hahaha I don't think the baby needs this negative energy from you"
"Let the Guncle speak to the baby"
Qhama" What's a Guncle?"
Khanya rolled his eyes
Khanya" It's a gay uncle"
"You are definitely straight"
Yanga walked in followed by Andrew.
Qhama" Hahahaa I cannot wait to laugh at your children"
Sange" You'll laugh while babysitting. We raised you and you'll raise our children"
"Thixo! Always comes full circle"
Yanga went to seat next to Khanya, and Andrew was next to me.
Qhama" Bhuti can I use the car?"
Yanga" Uyaphi?"
We all stared at him
Qhama" I am going to Baywest, I have a date"
Sange" Braceface don't eat anything from downtown with those things"
Me" Voestek wena"
Yanga" Hahaha Sange you wilo never change"
Sange" Nope. Hahaha forget it"
Qhama" You are all embarrassing"
Khanya" Do you need money?"
"Lesson on how to kiss?"
Andrew" Or how to touch boobs when making out?"
Sange" Yes! Babe teach him"
Qhama" Nope, forget it. I'm out, please don't follow me. I'll be back before curfew"
Andrew" That boy needs to get his broken, he is way too soft"
"What are we doing today?"
Sange" We can go out"
Me" You are pregnant"
Sange" I'm not even showing"
"We can leave her behind"
Me" Yanga would never"
Khanya" Are you sure? Because he didn't object to the idea"
I looked at him
Yanga" Let's have a braai"
"Where is Jabu?, he can buy the meat?"
Khanya" He is probably still at my parents place. He has trouble with leaving the baby alone"
They adopted a baby boy, we were all parents. Well Sange is only 3 months pregnant.
Andrew" And you don't?"
Khanya" I love him to bits but I needed some adult time, I missed dressing up and not smelling like sour milk. I was so sleepy in court last week, I'm sure I passed out, thank God I was just second chair"
Sange" I can't wait"
Me" You'll be good at it"
Yanga" I think so too"
"Where is everyone else?"
Me" Who?"
Yanga" Lona, Thabang, Solly and Bahle"
Me" I don't know"
Khanya" They'll be at the party tomorrow, we just organized this for the six of us"
Sange" Plus Lona smells like incense sticks, she makes me feel like I am having my soul cleansed"
I laughed but Yanga didn't
Khanya" Chakras and all"
We laughed again but Yanga and Andrew weren't.
Sange" I'm kidding, she would sage this whole place and pray away the negative energy"
Me" Hahahaha please stop"
"Next topic"
Yanga" Hahahaa you are both evil"

"Happy Birthday!!!!"
Me"such a great way to start a birthday"
My husband and I just had sex, I promise you God's best has to be my husband. He gave me Yanga and everything else fell into place.
Me" I can't believe I just turned 30"
Yanga" it's like you were 20 not so long ago"
Me" I think we are so happy that time never really mattered, we just get reminded by our birthdays"
"What did you get me?"
Yanga" Hahaha I miss the days you hated it when I spent money on you"
Me" Aha! You created a monster"
Yanga" You'll just fall in love with me even more"
"Sayonqeni le sex ndizoyi fumana apha"
I laughed at him, the baby was also kicking. I think he could feel my excitement.
Yanga" Ndiyeza"
He got out of bed and came back with a orange box.
"Happy Birthday baby"
I screamed when I saw what's written outside Hermes. He bought me a fucken Birkin bag!!!!!!
Me" Thank you!"
"I love you!.... I can't wait to show this off!"
Yanga" Can you please insure it first"
"That cost me a fortune"
I laughed
Me" Hahaha you saying that is proof that this isn't fake"
Yanga" Hahahaa why would I buy you a fake bag?"
"Kiss me, uyeke uthetha ububhanxa"

I decided to throw myself a 30th birthday, the theme was The great Gatsby. It's my favorite book and well he did throw the best parties. The planning was a nightmare but seeing everything come together beautifully was just exciting.
Yanga" This looks beautiful"
Me" You look amazing"
He was wearing a white suit and a hat. I laughed at the suspenders.
Yanga" I'm actually excited to see what everyone will be wearing. Our people don't respect themes"
I was a short gold glitter dress with fringe, my mother in law said I can't wear black while pregnant. So I had to change my outfit, I wore a feather head band and these long black gloves. I was pregnant but I still had to look amazing.
Yanga" Are yoy ready for your dramatic entrance?"
Me" Yea"
We finally went inside and everyone was really in their Gatsby inspired clothes.
Khanya" Baby Mama!"
"Happy Birthday my baby"
He gave me a hug
Me" Thank you babe"
I went around the room to hug my friends and a few colleagues.
Solly" Happy Birthday"
We hugged
Me" Thank you and thanks for coming"
Solly" I wouldn't have missed a chance to dress up"
"When are you due?"
Me" Next month"
Solly" The way Yanga is looking at you, ingathi kuzophuma lo and then another one will enter"
Me" Hahaha we actually agreed we are done, I hope he keeps that promise"
Bahle walked to us with Thabang.
Thabang" Happy Birthday Daisy"
He gave me a hug.
Me" Hahaha Thank you, and thanks for the gift"
Bahle" Woah! I chose it"
"He can't get all the credit"
I gave her a hug.
Me" First of all, you look so beautiful. And thank you for the gift"
Bahle" It's a pleasure and how's it that you are so pregnant, yet you still manage to look runway ready?"
Me" Have you seen Sange?"
Solly" I am considering getting a tummy tuck, it's the only way I can walk next to y'all"
Thabang" I'm walking away, I have heard enough"
Sange and Khanya came to join us. I looked over at Yanga, Lona was with the guys.
"She feels guilty"
Sam said, that's Nathan's wife.
Me" Why?"
Sam" What happened the last time. Nate told me"
Solly" Yanga told her to stay away from you"
"She is doing just that"
Khanya" Tshomi"
"You also owe her an apology"
Me" No, I don't, she almost killed Hlalumi"
Sange" She didn't though, you both went through something traumatic and she acted like any of us would have"
Me" Why are you defending her"
Sange" Andrew just told me how she lost a lot when Claire went missing"
"And Yanga loves Lona, they were friend and now he can't let her see Hlalumi because you hate Lona. It's been 7 years babe, you need to forgive"
Me" She has met Hlalumi before"
Bahle" Nope, she hasn't. Yanga has made it clear that you don't want her around your child and she respects that"
Solly" And it's strange because our children were supposed to be best friends but ke Yanga would never go against your wishes"
"And her children like you, ngoku yilento. We can't have our kids around between anivani and we just don't know kuzothini"
Me" This feels like an ambush, so I'm just going to walk around and go to my other guests"

The following day I cooked for everyone with the help of Lunje, by everyone I mean Hlalumi, Qhama, Yanga and Lunje.
Me" Hlahla are you going to eat?"
Hlalumi" Nope, I am busy"
I laughed
Me" Qhama?"
Qhama" Busy too"
Me" Alright then"
I walked back to the kitchen
"Lu abatyi, I'll just dish up for Yanga"
I dished up for Yanga and then took his food to our bedroom.
Yanga" Thank you"
Me" I thought you had plans"
He was working
Yanga" These are my plans, I am arguing a case that I cannot lose"
Me" You going to the office?"
Yanga" Yea, or Hlalumi will just disturb me"
Me" I'm meeting Lona"
He had a blank stare
Yanga" Which Lona?"
Me" Montgomery-Rhodes"
Yanga" Is that a good idea?, you both the don't have the best track record"
"And you were 8 months pregnant last time too"
I smiled
Me" Do you know how much I love you?"
"I would heaven and earth just to see you happy. You shouldn't lose your best friend because of me"
Yanga" Don't do things just to make me happy"
I smiled
Me" See? You give without hesitation when it comes to me. Let me do this for us, I also need the closure and I know Qhama would love to see Claire again"
"This has dragged long enough"
Yanga" Who else will be there?"
"Lona is unpredictable"
Me" Solly, Sange, Khanya and Bahle"
Yanga" It's Sunday today, she has self care Sunday with Thabang"
Me" Is that a real thing?, I thought Bahle was just making an excuse"
He laughed
Yanga" Yea, they've been doing that shit oko ndabazi. It's their tradition"
Me" Well she agreed to meet me at 3p.m."
Yanga" You don't have to do this"
I kissed his forehead
Me" I do though"
"I promise I will be fine, she is your friend so you need to give her the benefit of the doubt"
Yanga" And you're my wife"
Me" Let's take a bath together, I'll convince you properly when we are both naked"
Yanga" Okay fine"
"You're lucky I love seeing you naked"
