Mpho got back home and Anastasia didn’t waste time to confront him,
“Where are you coming back from Mpho? She asked with her hands at akimbo standing on his way.
“Woman get out of my way, Mpho said.
“Get out of which way? I am not leaving until you tell me why you left this house by such time and slept out without picking your calls, you owe me an explanation for that okay, Anastasia said and he smiled.
“Just give me time I promise I will, but for now I really need to rest, he replied and went in while Anastasia just looked at him.
“Have you seen your brother? Its only God that will judge him I swear! Anastasia said to Dite who was just sitting down looking at them.
“I guess God will judge you both, gosh this house scks! Dite replied and went to room.
“You both are very stupid! Rubbish! Anastasia screamed out and angrily sat down on the sofa thinking hard……………
Mpho carried out the paternity of Yvonne son test in another hospital without Yvonne knowing, he got a call from the doctor when the result was out and he immediately drove down to clear his doubts.
He brought out the result from the envelope and smiled at it,
“Thank you doctor, he said.
“Just doing my job, the doctor replied.
“Thank you, I’ll take my leave now, Mpho said and left to Yvonne place.
He met her brea$tfeeding and he kssed her,
“We are leaving now, he said to her.
“Leaving to where? She asked.
“You’re not suppose to be here with my son, he has a house and a family, Mpho said.
“Ermmmm are you sure about that? My Son is just 2 weeks and am scared of what your wife may do, She replied.
“Why should you be scared? I’ll help with your bags then, he said getting up but Yvonne held his hand.
“Promise me you’ll protect us, if your place will be like hell I’ll prefer to be here for the sake of my son, she said.
“Honey stop this, she will have no choice than to accept my son, he said and pecked her and she nodded.
“So is there anything I can help with? He asked and she looked at her boy to see he’s asleep.
“I’ll just help you out then, baby is asleep, she replied and carefully kept him on the bed and got up to help Mpho arrange the bags.
In the evening he arrived with Yvonne and he looked at her as she sat scared when he parked.
“Don’t be scared, he whispered and went out first and she slowly did same.
He got in and his kids welcomed him, he looked around and saw everyone was seated watching a programme on the cable and he just stood speechless.
“What’s wrong brother? Dite noticed and asked.
“ermmm I came with someone, he replied and Anastasia looked at him.
“What about it? Can’t the person come in? She asked and Mpho slowly went to the door and beckoned on Yvonne to come in which she slowly did carrying her baby.
“You’re welcome, Dite replied her greetings.
“Why is your visitor scared to come in? Come sit down, Anastasia said and she slowly sat down.
“Ermm this is Yvonne and she will be staying here from now on, Mpho said and Anastasia scoffed.
“Wait a minute, did you tell me about this before bringing her in? And who is she? Anastasia asked.
“She is the mother of my son and she will be staying here. I don’t need to tell you this Anastasia, you just have to accept her and my baby, Mpho said and Anastasia slowly got up with her eyes bulged out.
“Are you joking or something? She asked.
“No i mean it, remember when i told you a blow is coming, he replied.
“You mean you had an affair outside and got a son? Still You got the guts to say this to my children presence expecting me to accept her just like that? Mpho you’re a ba$tard! Anastasia shouted.
“Watch your tongue woman! Don’t forget you first had that affair outside and killed him when he wanted exposing you. Stop acting like a saint here btch! Mpho dropped and Dite couldn’t take it any more.
“You two are disgusting! She said shaking her head and went into her room while Anastasia couldn’t feel her feet anymore.
Yvonne held her son tight as she watched them feeling bad and the kids were already scared to death watching their parents that way,
“It was a long time Mpho and you caused it, Anastasia said.
“I didn’t caused it and I didn’t planned this either. It just happened and I am honest enough to tell you this else I would have continued to hide her outside. If you really don’t want me to stay out again, then accept them, Mpho replied.
Anastasia nodded and turned looking at Yvonne in tears as Yvonne just sat scared to her teeth,
“Are you happy now? You should celebrate for giving him a son, She said to her and took her kids inside.
Mpho heaved and sat down holding her hand,
“This is not a good idea, I need to go, Yvonne said.
“No you won’t leave, you are going to stay here. Don’t worry she’s just mad, shocked and caught up with surprise, she’ll be fine with time, Mpho replied.
“Your kids are beautiful, Yvonne replied and he smiled.
“And our son is handsome, I’ll go get the bags inside but first what should i offer you? He asked but she shook her head.
“No please nothing, she replied.
“Hey stop this, you are no stranger here so feel free, he said and pecked her and left to get the bags while she heaved and looked at her son.
“We will be fine okay, she whispered to him and looked round the house.
Mpho brought in the bags but met Dite bringing out her bags,
“Hey where are you going to? He asked.
“Isn’t it obvious? You need a room for her and I just created one. I am leaving brother, I can’t take what am seeing here and don’t try to stop me, Dite said.
“Dite don’t do this please, I never asked you to leave please, Mpho said.
“Are you going to give me my transport fare or not? After all you never asked me to stay here forever, I only came to take care of the kids for a while but then i choose to stay, its my choice to leave too, Dite replied.
“Is it because of me? You don’t need to leave I’ll do that, Yvonne came in.
“No no no you have nothing to do with this, you are absolutely welcome here and I have no problem with you. Brother don’t keep me waiting, Dite said stretching her hands to get the money.
“I thought you never wanted to leave Hope, Mpho said and Dite nodded.
“Hope will be fine and she needs to be with her family, as for me I think its time i look into my future and go for it. I don’t know if you enjoyed the way i turned to be your children nanny, I need to go to school brother, don’t you think so? Dite asked but Mpho hugged her.
“Am sorry, I know have failed you but please forgive me, Mpho said and she nodded.
“Take care of your family alright, she said.
“I’ll come visit you so we will talk, take care of yourself okay, Mpho said giving her some notes.
“Thank you, she said and went to Yvonne holding the baby hands.
“What’s his name? She asked.
“Mpho junior, please am so sorry about this, Yvonne replied.
“Its fine alright, i was planning to leave already. Please take care of him and be comfortable, Dite said and went back to carry her bag but Mpho hugged her again.
Dite heard Hope voice in the room crying and she closed her eyes,
“Please tell Hope i love her so much, I don’t want to see her now cause it’ll break my heart, Dite said and ran out of the house and Mpho slowly sat down sad.
“Am sorry i caused all of this, Yvonne said.
“This is not your fault okay, I alone understand my sister and I’ll talk to her. Let’s go in, Mpho replied……………
