I couldn't believe Faith, so I called Zandie straight away. Her phone was ringing but she wasn't picking it up. I knew she was off, so I got into the car and drove to her house. I didn't want to entertain this whole thing, because I would end up believing what Faith had said. So I played music on my way there and tried to block it all out. There must be an explanation for all this,Zandie could never do anything like this. And Siya? Could he be stupid enough to cheat again after what happened with Nicole? And impregnant Faith in less than a month when we had been trying for years? If Faith was truly pregnant, it was probably Didi's. There was absolutely no way she used condoms with him because there is no condom that fits his ntenene, no ways! These are all the things l kept replaying in my head, although I had told myself not to think too much into this before hearing what Zandie and Siya had to say. Before long I had arrived at Zandie's complex, the gate at their complex is a see through and you can see Zandie's house clearly from the gate.

I saw Siya's car parked behind Zandie's, what was he doing here? As l was about to ask the security guard to ring Zandie, l saw Siya and Zandie getting out of the house, Siya holding Zozo (Zandie's daughter) to his chest. They hugged briefly , Siya got into the car and rolled down the window to say something to Zandie. I quickly started the car and drove off. I didn't know what to think, why would Siya lie to me and say he is going to sort out some business whilst he was going to see Zandie. And see her for what behind my back, on top of that Zandie had ignored my calls. Zandie and Siya were never buddy buddies, they communicated through me, like Siya would ask how Zandie is if I had gone to lunch with her or something like that and Zandie was the same. If Siya ever called Zandie, it was to ask her to speak to me if he had done something wrong like the time I moved in with her when he cheated with Nicole, or if my phone isn't going through whilst Zandie and l are together. Could Faith have been telling the truth? I pulled up and called Siya
Siya: Hey baby, usharp?
Sme: Yeah, when are you coming back home?
Siya: I'm on my way, I won't be long. Why do you sound so down?
Sme: Where are you?
Siya: I was with Francis discussing discussing some things about the business
Sme: Really?
Siya: Ah baby, why would I lie to you?
I hung up on him, there it was! Pure lies...Why would Siya be calling Zandie, now visiting her and lying about it? So he was busy donating his sperm to Zandie and Faith whilst I was working hard making sure he took his vitamin supplements and cooking healthy meals to increase his sperm count. No wonder he couldn't get it up, how could he after sleeping with two other women. By the time he got to me, Mr Muscle would have had enough and probably tired. And he was probably thinking of Faith and Zandie ephuzu kwami, no wonder he couldn't concentrate enough to climax. Mnxx.. Men! Having a low sperm count didn't mean that he couldn't have children, his chances had probably gone up from 15% to 20% with those supplements, and what did he do? Download it all on Faith who doesn't even want to have a baby. And Faith said that she used protection with Didi, she always has female condoms, so she could have been using them since there is no size for Didi. I was done with all his lies and cheating. I drove back home and quickly packed two suitcases. I couldn't ask him to leave because I would literary have to drag him out of the house myself, and even if I managed to drag him out, I know for sure that he would come home everyday, even sleep outside the door to push the point across. I had to find my own place where I wouldn't find Siya waiting when I came back from work. I didn't want him to find me there, lest he beg me and tell me how sorry he is, make believable excuses like he did with the Nicole issue and I'd end up staying. This was the final straw. I left a note saying, "Goodbye, you won't have to sneak around anymore. Zandie or Faith, even both of them can move in now since one woman will never be enough for you!
PS: I AM FILING FOR DIVORCE!"

I switched off my phone before I left and l never looked back!

I couldn't bring myself to call umamazala, l knew she was going to let me have it on this one. She was probably going to say that me and my family were trying to kill her son. I had called Buhle to let her know about Siya on our way to the hospital and asked her to call uMaMoyo to let her know and other relatives because I really had no energy. So when she called me and said those words l was not surprised at all. I didn't stay on the phone to listen to more of her insults, I hung up on her, which l know is rude, but she was rude! She called me a few more times and l ignored her calls. Siya was admitted, I wanted to stay a bit longer by his side but they wouldn't let me. Zandie came early in the morning to help me clear up the mess oma beret had made. I searched our spare bedroom from top to bottom to make sure that there wasn't anything else illegal, I did not find anything. I packed Faith's clothes ready to be collected whenever she got out. I couldn't take them to Didi's flat since they were both in custody.l didn't want to hear my aunt crying, so l ask my mother to tell her about Faith's shenanigans. She offered to come and be with me for moral support, but I declined. The doctor who had attended to Siya had estimated that he could be discharged in less than two weeks if the scan revealed that he hadn't fractured any bones. So I wanted us to be alone for a while whilst we tried to recover from this ordeal. If MaMoyo wanted to visit Siya before he was discharged, she would have to stay with Buhle because I was not prepared for her, mentally. This time uzokhuluma iqiniso ma ethi ngimxotshile. Or I would go and stay with Zandie, she will stay at the house by herself. 

I discovered that some of my jewellery was missing from my jewellery box, those thieving bastards! Mnxxxx. A couple of women from the complex came over to 'check if l was ok'. When Siya got out, we would have to discuss moving away from this place, so many bad memories. We would rent it out until we finished paying the bond, then sell it. It's funny how a few bad memories can completely suppress many many good memories. As a person you can do many good deeds in your life, but the minute you make that one mistake, people forget all the thousand good things you have done and forever remember that one bad mistake you made. Life hey... When I told Langa and Mike about the recent events of my life, they proclaimed that my life was more scandalous than Scandal, the TV soap. I went to stay with Zandie, I was scared of being alone in that house; besides, I didn't want to find MaMoyo waiting for me like last time. If she wanted to see Siya, she would have to come after he was discharged. Things would be extremely tense with just the two of us. Either I would end up strangling her, or she would kill me first. 

Siya was recovering well, the swellings were coming down nicely, thank God he had no broken bones. He didn't like being in hospital, but then again, nobody does, he wanted to get out of there as soon as yesterday. Buhle called me one afternoon to tell me that uMaMoyo was coming over from ekhaya, I told her that I was staying with Zandie. She understood and said she would tell her to come and stay with her. I found them (Buhle and MaMoyo), two days later visiting Siya. 

I greeted them, Buhle got up and gave me a hug, MaMoyo looked at me and said nothing. So I greeted her again, this time specifically mentioning her, but she just kept her eyes on Siya and asked Siya something as if she hadn't heard me. Siya intervened and said "uyakukhulumisa uMeme mama, awumuzwa yini?". She sized me up and said "Yebo", then went back to her conversation with Siya. I couldn't stay with all that tension, so l told Siya that I would visit later and went back to work. When I visited him, I told him about what his mother had said to him, but he said it was just probably stress and frustration. He told me that he didn't blame me for what had happened, for l knew nothing about Faith and Didi's dealings, he also said that he was going to have a word with his mother. I asked him to let me know when his mother was visiting so that l could come at an alternative time, I really couldn't stand her anymore. I wanted to make sure I didn't find myself in the same room as her because even if she didn't say anything with her mouth, she said a lot with her expressions. 

A day before Siya was due to be discharged, I went home to prepare for his return. He came back on a Thursday, so I took the day off work. I cooked a lovely meal for him and got some candles and flowers. It was great to have my husband back home in one piece, I would have never been able to live with myself if something had happened to him. I hadn't heard anything from Faith, I tried to call her but her phone wasn't going through. I wanted to find out what was going on with her because my aunt was very worried and she wanted to know if she had been charged, she told me that she had heard nothing from her. Maybe she had died in those cells or in prison, and nobody had come forward to claim her body. I needed to find out for my aunt's sake. I wanted Siya to be discharched first before I started adding more stress to my already stressful life. So since Siya had been discharged, I was going to go find out about Faith the coming Monday. Siya was very happy to be home, we stayed up cuddling and catching up on our TV programmes. The following day, he brought up the issue of moving out as if he had read my mind. We both agreed to look for a place and move out of the complex. There was no sex or anything, just kissing, cuddling and spooning. I couldn't complain really, I felt very blessed to have him back. 

I was ironing on a Saturday afternoon when l heard a knock. Siya had gone to sort our some business with Francis. I assumed it was Zodwa or someone from the complex, I got up to open the door but umuntu wavela wazingenela because the door wasn't locked. It was Faith! I wasn't interested in finding out how she had gotten out who had gotten her out, I just wanted her to take imitshaqana yakhe and go! I was going to call aunty after she had left to tell her not to worry about Her.

Sme: Go and get it your stuff it's in the spare bedroom. Don't ever come back here again, you have caused us so much pain. My husband nearly died because of you!

Faith: I told you, I had nothing to do with those drugs! I swear I knew nothing! 

Sme: Yeah right! Just leave please! 

Faith: Can I stay for a week please whilst I sort myself out. It will only be one week, nothing more

Sme: You must be joking, you cannot seriously be asking to stay here after everything you have put us through!

Faith: Evie bantu, I swear I had nothing to do with that (She started sobbing) 

Sme: Your crocodile tears won't change anything, just leave please. 

Faith: I have nowhere to go right now...( still crying) And Didi wants nothing to do with me, he thinks I set him up. 

Sme: I don't care what Didi thinks, or whatever is going on with you. You cannot stay here, my husband won't like finding you here. So yenza uhambe ( she ran to the toilet still crying and she vomited violently....I hoped she wasn't ill) 

Faith: (She finished throwing up) Please Sme, you have to believe me, I had nothing to do with those drugs, I don't know how they got there. Maybe you should ask Siya

Sme: You should be ashamed of yourself! Do l look stupid to you? Why did they suddenly appear when you moved in with us? ( I took her suitcase to the door to show her I meant business)

Faith: (She stopped crying and had a devilish look on her) Did Siya tell you that wangimithisa? Is that why lingixotsha? 

Sme: Huh? What are you talking about? 

Faith: You heard me, I am PREGNANT! I am carrying Siya's baby. Don't even suggest it's Didi's because I fell pregnant when I moved in with you, and besides, I always use protection with Didi. I didn't with Siya. 

Sme: (I just stood there with my mouth dry, lost for words. I didn't know what to think or say) Ini....???

Faith: Yes, your 'perfect' husband is not so perfect after all is he? And to save you time of trying to find out who the other woman is, I will tell you. It's your dear friend Zandie. He is sleeping with her. Those calls you saw on his call logs were not by me, they were made by him! I have never called Zandie! 

Sme: No......, this can't be happening.Why? Why?

Faith: Don't worry, I will have an abortion. I don't want to bring shame into our family (as if she hadn't done that already), plus, I am not ready for kids. I have a life to live! (She picked up her bags and left!)

I woke up in a pool of water surrounded by familiar faces from the complex, Zodwa had my head in her arms.Somebody was calling the ambulance. I quickly felt my whole body for the gunshot wound, I was not bleeding and the only pain I felt was at the back of my head when I fell and landed on the ground and on my chest, where Chief had kicked me. Oh God, this only meant one thing, they had shot my husband! I got up, and stumbled into the house to check my husband. There was someone in the kitchen filling up a dish with water, probably to splash it on me. There was no one in the living room, the floor was wet, I quickly surveyed the rest of the house and there was no one. I wept! What had they done with Siya? I asked Zodwa what had happened to Siya, she told me that they took him with them. They had poured cold water onto him to wake him up and dragged him into one of their vans. So who had been shot then? Zodwa showed me the hole on our front door, they had shot the door. I don't know if it was to get me to open the door or if that bullet was meant for me. I got sick to my stomach, I knew I had to do something about my husband before they finished him off if they hadn't already. Zodwa told me that they said they were taking him to Norwood Police Station. 

I called Faith! It had to be her and Didi's drugs. I had let her into our house not knowing she was going to bring us so much pain. Her phone was not going through, I didn't have Didi's number so I was stuck. I put on some dry clothes and took my handbag to go to the police station. I was going to tell them who the drugs belonged to. I just hoped my husband was still alive. The whole place was upside down, I opened the drawer in the wardrobe where we kept emergency cash so I could bail Siya out if they agreed. It was gone! R5 000, all of it! Those thieves, those bastards! I knew wasn't going to get it back. Zodwa offered to drive me to the police station but I declined, she insisted so l ended up letting her drive me there. I don't know if it was out of sympathy or if she wanted to gobhoza to the rest of the complex when she got back. Whatever it was, I didn't care much at that point, I just wanted my husband back home. 

We got there and they wouldn't let me see him. I told them about Faith and her boyfriend. They asked for her number and I gave it to them. They called her but it wasn't going through, so they said I should take them to Didi's place. I had only been there twice, I feared that I wouldn't remember the place, worse it was at night. He lived eYouville, so it wasn't that far from the police station. They were three squad cars and a van. About 12 berets. Chief was there as well, I wanted to spit on him, but I knew what was best for me and my husband. When we got there, the security guard let us in, that made me think. Who had let them into our complex because Lindo leaves around 8pm and he doesn't live in our complex? They banged on the door, but nobody opened, so they broke in. They searched the whole flat and found a huge ward of cash, it had to be nothing less than R70 000, about a dozen passports, tablets, laptops and phones. They took them all! I asked Chief if he was going to let my husband go, but he said that they weren't going to let him go because for all they knew my husband was working with Didi and Faith! What? Are you kidding me? I asked him to let him out so he couldn't get some medical attention at least, but he refused saying he could skip the country. He even refused bail and said I had to go apply in court for bail. Oh nkosi yam bantu! I called our lawyer to find out what our options were but he wasn't picking up his phone. I was stuck! . 

When we got downstairs, I asked the security guard if he had seen Didi and Faith. He told me that they had left the flat about an hour earlier, he said they had probably gone to eGuest House/ Palace, a club in Youvillle. Chief was listening, so we went there. I prayed that we would find them there. We got there around 1am. I went in with two berets, we scoured the place but I couldn't find them. I went to the ladies toilets and I found Faith there with one of her friends putting make up on. I pulled her out to boma beret and said to her "tell them that you are the one who stashed those drugs in my house and where Didi is". She looked at me confused, but I wasn't buying it! I wanted to slap the hell out of her, how dare she! They took her outside, everyone in the club was watching, some people even followed us outside. They asked her where Didi was, she hesitated a little. Bad mistake cos one beret backhanded her so hard she stumbled and fell to the ground with her hand rubbing where she had been slapped. I think it dawned on her that these people meant business, because she quickly got up and went sober there and then! She told them that she knew nothing and that  Didi had left soon after buying her drinks, he had gone to collect something in Hilbrow with one of his friends. She showed them Didi's car which was parked on the side. They told her to call Didi and tell him to get back ASAP, but not to tell him anything about them. Lucky enough Didi picked up and said they were already on their way back. We waited for him in the car, he arrived about 10 minutes later. They went straight to him as soon as he arrived and searched the car. They found more money and about 500g of white powder. If that wasn't evidence enough for them to let my husband go, I don't know what was. They arrested both of them and Faith. I followed them to the station with Zodwa. Apparently Didi and his friends had refused to say anything without a lawyer, and Didi had told Faith not to say anything either. Around 3am they let Siya out, he couldn't walk properly. He had to hold onto the walls for balance, his face was swollenand covered in blood l could hardly recognise him. His hands were swollen as well, Zodwa and l helped him to the car. We didn't get an apology or anything, Chief just said, "next time know who you let into your house". 

We took Siya to the hospital, it brought back memories of when he got stabbed just less than six months back. I was just glad that he was still alive. I received a text message from Faith saying "I am so sorry for what happened, but l swear l had nothing to do with the drugs". Yeah right! When I got off the phone with Zandie, l received a call from umamazala. Before I could even greet her she screamed "Wena mthakathi wezigodo, lifuna ukubulalisa umntanami! You failed to kill him last time, now you want to finish him!"

That smile accompanied with a piercing gaze said it all, it was that sort of villian smile you see in the movies. The Afrikaner guy whom I gathered was the chief of that operation whacked Siya on his face so hard with his gun, I swear I heard a cracking sound, probably his jaw. Siya's body went flying across the sofa and he landed the top half of his body on top of the coffee table. His nose was bleeding, I screamed running towards my husband to help him up. One of them pulled me away, no he yanked me away from Siya, I stumbled a little to get some balance. Chief walked slowly towards Siya, he light a cigarette, I don't know why but I screamed, "No Smoking In My House!". He looked at me, with that piercing gaze and that wry smile, inhaled the smoke of his cigarette and blew it towards me, then pressed the lit part of his cigarette onto Siya's arm. He let out a muffled scream and I cried out for the chief to stop hurting him. The other boma beret were still ransacking our house in search of "the drugs" that we knew nothing about. Chief kicked Siya on his head and l went flying towards him,crying for him to stop. One beret held me, I tried to break free from him but his grip was so tight and firm l couldn't even wiggle. He kept kicking him everywhere and stumping on him saying "we are not leaving here without what we came for you kak, ...you bastard", l was sobbing uncontrollable, It killed me seeing my husband being assaulted like that, and worse by officers of the law. Siya was groaning in pain, oh bantu, my poor Siya. As if he hadn't suffered enough when he got stabbed. I was praying silently that they finish the search quickly, that way they would stop beating Siya. I'd rather they locked us up whilst they were doing their investigation than abuse us like that! Now another beret had joined Chief, they were both kicking him, their boots were covered in blood. I knew Siya wasn't going to make it if they kicked him one more time.He was using his hands to block the kicks, eventually he stopped trying to protect himself. He had stopped making any sounds, I knew he had passed out.

 I prayed that they wouldn't shoot him and finish him up. At some point, which to me felt like forever, they stopped kicking Siya, Chief came towards me, l had stopped kicking and screaming . I was on the floor sobbing so hard it felt like my guts had been ripped out of my stomach.I had never cried so much and so hard until that day. At that point I didn't care if they beat me up or shot me, I had never despiced someone so much as l did this Afrikaner chief. He said to me "since that kak of your husband won't tell us anything, maybe you will". I was kneeling on the floor with my eyes fixed on his bloodied boots, "my husband's blood", I thought to myself. He told me to get up and look at him, I stayed on the floor. Not to defy him or anything, I just didn't have the energy, my knees were weak, it felt as if all my bones had been removed and l had been left limp. My tears were falling onto the tip of his boot, washing off the blood. I crawled past him to get to Siya kanti angibuzanga elangeni! He kicked me on my chest flipping me upside down! I bit my tongue so hard I tased the blood gushing from my tongue. I hit the floor with the back of my head and everything went a bit fuzzy for a few seconds. I blinked rapidly to get my vision back. As l was trying to lift up my head, he placed his boot on my forehead. I knew he wouldn't hesitate to crush my head, I had to think of something fast. I had to stay alive for my husband, or what was left of him. I blurted out "Lumkile!". She was the only person l could think of who could have had a hand in all this. She had probably planted something somewhere, in one of Siya's driving school cars probably and tipped them off or something. Eish, that woman! Even after she hac found out that Siya wasn't the father of Nicole's baby, she was still going out of her way to make us suffer. For what? Talk about misguided anger! Or maybe she was mad that l helped Nicole, yeah, that also made sense since she wanted her to suffer for what she did. Or maybe it was because I demanded that she paid me back what had taken from us, so she thought she would get back at us by this? Or maybe it was all the above. Chief still with his boot on my forehead said "Lumi..khile..., what?". Before l could say anything, one beret came out of our spare bedroom and said "found something". Chief moved away from me to see what had been found, I sat up and looked towards them. The beret handed a packet which could have roughly been 2kgs with white powder in it, and a ward of cash. You should have seen the shock in my eyes! What was that doing in our house? 

Chief looked at me, this time his eyes were so full of anger! I knew from his look that he was going to beat me to death. I got up so quick and ran for the door, one of the berets came after me but he missed me by a second, I closed our front door shutting them in and I screamed. I wanted to wake up everyone in the complex so that they would witness my death, and probably my husband's too. I wasn't going to die without a fight! I was pulling the door handle with both of my hands whilst screaming "he....lp.......Nampo besibulala bo, ..... He.......lp!".I saw a few light come on, and l heard a few couple of doors being opened. I was going back and forth with whoever was behind the door pulling to open it. Then I heard "pha..aaaa". A gunshot! I fell to the ground and everything went black.....!

Siya and Zandie only communicate every now and then, like when there is a crisis or something like that. So naturally I was surprised to see outgoing calls from Siya to Zandie. "Baby, lihlanganisani loZandie?" I asked him. "Why do you ask?", he replied. I told him why I was asking. Before he could react and reply, Faith said that she is the one who had been calling Zandie using Siya's phone because she had no airtime. She told me that she had asked her ukuba amzwele umsebenzi, so she used Siya's phone a few times to call her about a couple of job vacancies. Phew.....I felt stupid and silly for even asking him that. Maybe I was becoming too paranoid, that's what being cheated on does to you. You are always on guard, you become a detective, always on the look out for anything and everything. Once that trust is lost, it takes forever to build it up again, and even when you've built it again, it's never the same. I was ashamed though that Siya's infidelity had reduced me to even entertaining the thought that my friend, my closest friend who had been there for me through it all could even look at My husband that way. I was glad though that I had been calm and collected when I asked him. 

Faith got a job and asked to stay for a month to get her first pay then move out. She worked different shifts five days a week. When she was off, she went over to Didi's. Siya was still not able to perform in bed, he would either go flat way too early, or go on forever when he had a drink. He kept postponing going to the men's clinic. It was all frustrating, but l tried to stay strong and positive. I was against him drinking, but he argued that it was too much to expect him to not drink any alcohol at all for heaven knows how long. So we ended up compromising that he could have a drink once a week. One Saturday, Siya and l went to collect my car, Faith had gone over to Didi's. We met up with Zandie and Francis for dinner to celebrate my new car. We arrived home around 8pm. 

Around 10pm when we were sleeping, we heard a very loud knock. We both looked at each other puzzled. We could hear footsteps around the house, "open up or we will kick this door in", a male voice said. I put on my morning gown, Siya put on a t-shirt and went to open the door. When we got to the door, the same voice said, "This is your last warning. It's the police,  open up or we will break in". Siya unlocked the door and opened it slowly, one of them pushed the door wide open with his boots and with a gun pointed right at Siya. It was oma beret! The ones who wear red berets and look like soldiers. There were about 15 of them wearing bullet proof vests, they pushed their way through all of them with guns pointed at us, we moved back into the living room walking backwards. I have never been so scared in my life, I had been scared when Siya was stabbed, but this! This was on a whole new level! I have heard stories about how ruthless oma beret are, in fact Siya once told me a story about a guy he knew. The guy was one of two suspects in a high jacking shooting. They went to his place where they found him sleeping with his girlfriend, they beat him so hard before asking him about the gun he had used for shooting the victim, then they asked his girlfriend where the gun was. When she told them that she knew nothing, they beat her up too breaking her jaw and knocking out three of her teeth. Whilst they were interrogating them, the accomplice knocked at the door not knowing that he was walking into a death trap. They opened the door and saw that it was the other suspect, the suspect realised what was going on, he tried to run but they shot him more that seven times. He died on the spot. The other suspect seeing this, told them where the gun was. Lapho ke they beat him to a pulp. He was unconscious when they dragged him to their car to take him to the police station where he died fours later. They wrote on their report that he had gotten in a fight with one of cell mates in the holding cells. So as you can imagine, l was scared shitless. I could tell that Siya was terrified as well, he was shaking! 

We were cornered against the wall in the living room by two of them, the rest were walking around the house searching for God knows what. It all seemed surreal. Then one of them, a tall white Afrikaans middle aged guy came over to us and said, "so, where are they?". We looked at each other puzzled, then he said "The drugs! Were are the drugs?!"

"Ahem ahem", l coughed a little to alert them of my presence. Faith jumped from his lap and there he was. It was Didi, Faith's supposedly ex boyfriend. He only had his vest on, so he too jumped to put his trousers on. I turned my face away from him but obviously not quick enough because l saw his ntenene. Heeeeh (clap once). Ok, I had only ever been with Siya, so I could not say l had great knowledge with penises. But we live in a digital world, where social networking has been taken to another level, so l have seen a fair amount of penises in these networking platforms, especially Whatsapp. Who here can raise their hand and say they have never received a dirty viral picture or video? I had seen a quite a few that I had an idea what the average size is, so when I saw that ntenene I was speechless. Well, l was speechless at the whole scene, but seeing that.....,I was really speechless. How can I best describe it....? My biggest toe is bigger than what I saw. It literally ended where it started! What was Faith even doing straddling him? Was she going to put it in together with his balls? Because that's the only way she would be able to feel that there was something inside her. Some people say that size doesn't matter, you just have to find a position that works for you. I had no other experience besides Siya, so l believed that, but now, now that I had seen Didi's ntenene, I knew right then that size matters. Imagine if l went from Siya to him, no matter how many ice blocks I shove down my honey pot, I could never be satisfied by him. Maybe it would have been fine if I had never been with someone else, but hayi... lokhuyana, even if you have never been with anyone else ngeke usuthiseke. Vele I don't think you can even break anyone's virginity with that. How do you even give him a hand job because it would disappear in your hand and probably squash it. I know that it's not his fault shame, he was born that way, but eish. If Faith dated him with the hope to find a monster pipe underneath those expensive trousers, shem wabhampa! Whoever said Nigerians are well endowed clearly hadn't met Didi. Is there even a condom that fits him? I highly doubt it. 

Anyhow, I looked away and walked back outside, I don't know why I went outside instead of the bedroom or kitchen, maybe I needed some fresh air after what I had seen. To be honest, I was so relieved it wasn't Siya, but I was pissed that Faith was doing her business in the living room. Couldn't they do it at his place? A couple of minutes later Didi came outside with so much embarrassment he couldn't even walk properly, it was as if he was carrying a bucket in between his thighs and didn't want to drop it. He couldn't look me in the eye, he apologised for what they did and said his goodbyes. It's true that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, phela if you saw Didi, how tall he was, how smart he always dressed and the car he drives, you could never imagine that he has an excuse for a penis. No offence to you guys who are in Didi's boat. It's true ukuthi uNkulunkulu akakunikezi konke shem. Back in the house Faith's eyes were wandering all over the place as if she was looking for something she had lost

Sme: Really Faith? Here I was thinking you are busy looking for a job. Is this what you do everyday when we are at work? 

Faith: No, I really have been looking for a job. I have never brought any guy here

Sme: Having sex in the living room pho?

Faith: We were not having sex

Sme: You were going to if I hadn't arrived, weren't you?

Faith: (Zwi yena)

Sme: And I thought you had broken up with Didi?

Faith: Yes we had, he has been calling me these past few days trying to get us back together. So he came to drop me off today after my job hunt. One thing led to another, I'm sorry you had to see that

Sme: I don't have the energy to argue with you, please don't do it again

Faith: It won't happen again. I promise.... I hope you are not traumatised by what you saw

Sme: Oh l am alright

Faith: I know you are thinking why do I stay with him when he doesn't even have .., you know

Sme: Ah, I didn't say anything mina

Faith: I laughed the first time l saw it you know. I was tipsy, so l laughed so hard, put my clothes on and left. When he called me, I told him to stop wasting my time because he could never satisfy me. He didn't give up, he was such a gentleman, eventually l gave in. The first time we got together, he made me cum  three times just from foreplay, so I didn't need to be penetrated to be satisfied. Yes, I hardly felt his thing inside me when he got on top of me, he thrust in and out less than ten times before he came. So that's what we always do, he gives me the best orgasms with foreplay, then goes inside me for his release. He is very nice to me, and he treats me better than any other guy l have ever been with, so that's why I have stayed with him for all this time

Sme: Ok, so long you are happy, that's all that matters. 

Faith: Yah neh!

Sme: Yeah, so does this mean you are moving in back with him? 

Faith: No, I want to find a place of my own, it's high time I became independent. I want to find a job and do something tangible with my life. Going back to live with him will just make me lazy because he does everything for me. 

Sme: That's the spirit, I hope you will find a job soon

Faith helped me prepare dinner and she joined me in my car hunt. I saw a car that I liked, so l put down a deposit for it. I was going to come back with Siya so he could see it and test drive it too before I paid the balance. 

After we finished eating, I asked to use Siya's phone to call Zandie because I had no airtime. When I finished speaking to Zandie, the phone went straight to the call logs. 

Zandie's name appeared more than six times on the call log. This was the first time I had ever called Zandie on Siya's new phone, so why did she appear on the log so many times?

Umendo Chapter 43

We couldn't pull the duvet to cover us up quick enough, Faith just stood there and said "oh, trying to make a baby are we?". Heh (clap once), the nerve of that girl. She said that she was cold and wanted to ask for an extra blanket. I don't know if she had genuinely forgotten that we kept all our extra blankets in the spare bedroom where she slept or if it was because she had quite a lot to drink. I told her where to get the extra blanket and told her to learn some manners. She apologised and left. As soon as Faith closed the door, Siya asked me if l had told Faith about his problem. I told him that I hadn't, he didn't seem to believe me because he asked me why Faith made that statement about making a baby. It was probably coincidental because I had never told her about any of my marital problems. Needless to say, Siya's spirits were dampened and Mr Muscle didn't get excited for the rest of the night. 

Before we both left for church, l went to have a little chat with Faith

Sme: Faith, we need to talk

Faith: Oh oh, sounds like you are breaking up with me. I have a massive headache right now, can we talk about whatever it is when you get back from church?

Sme: No, it cannot wait. I let you come stay with us out of the goodness of my heart, I didn't have to, but I did. You have caused chaos ever since you got here and l'm afraid you cannot stay with us any longer. You have to find some place else to stay otherwise we will end up fighting till no point of return. 

Faith: Wow, I've not been here a week and you already chucking me out to the streets? Where am l supposed to go?

Sme: To your friends or something, l don't know. You have a lot of friends right?

Faith: Yes, but none of them are in positions to offer me a place to stay

Sme: Usukhulile Faith, l'm sure you will make a plan

She looked at me with so much sadness, l felt guilty, but she had to go. After church l found a missed call from my aunt (Faith's mum, my father's sister) and another from my mother. I called my mother first. She told me that ubabakazi had called her asking her to speak to me ukuthi ngingaxotshi uFaith because she doesn't have anywhere else to go. I told my mother about Faith's lack of manners, she understood but pleaded with me to let her stay for another week before she moved out like she had said. I called my aunt who is very sweet and down to earth, it's hard to believe that Faith came out of her womb. I guess it true that umfundisi kazizali. My aunt begged me to let her stay for a few more days. She told me that she was going to borrow some money and send it for Faith's first month rent whilst she was looking for a job, but I told her not to worry about the rent money, I was going to give her the money. I wasn't doing it for her, l was doing it for my aunt, shame my poor aunt. When we arrived home after church, we found Faith cooking and the house was clean. I was pleasantly surprised, ok the meal was below par, but it was the effort that counted. Siya went to Yoeville after we finished eating. I told Faith about my conversation with her mother. I told her to look for a job and she said that she was going to start marketing  the next day. 

Siya came back later in the evening tipsy, I was beginning to get worried. He was supposed to lay off alcohol whilst we were trying to conceive in order to increase his sperm count. I didn't want to start and argument with him, so l just kept quiet. In bed that night, Siya didn't do much foreplay, just a kiss here and a kiss there then he was on top of me. It felt awkward because I was not used to this, Mr Muscle was fully loaded, but I can't say my honey pot was happy to welcome Mr Muscle. I tried to focus on foreplay a while longer, but he just wanted to go straight in. It was tricky because I didn't want to say anything that could knock his confidence down and risk him goimg flaccid again, so I just opened my legs. I could feel that he was very tense and was focusing on staying hard for as long as possible that he forgot to enjoy it all. After a minute of Mr Muscle pumping in and out, my honey pot went dry. I wasn't enjoying it at all, I just wanted him to cum quickly and get off me. He was now groaning, not the pleasure type, but the groaning one does when they are lifting up something heavy. The whole thing felt laboured. Three minutes gone and the friction was killing me. It felt as if somebody was rubbing the hottest chilli in there. I put some of my saliva down there very now and again, but it would dried up after a couple of thrusts. We didn't have any baby oil or lube on our night stands because we had never needed them before. Five minutes later, now I was moaning in pain, I guess Siya mistook it as pleasure moaning because he turned me over and went harder. It was cold but he was sweating, some of his sweat dripping onto to me. Seven minutes later, he was still pounding me mercilessly. I could tell that he was getting frustrated that he was nowhere near cuming, he was overthinking it. Ten minutes later, my vajay jay felt like someone had added fire onto the hot chilli. Twelve minutes later l collapsed onto the bed, l couldn't take it anymore. Siya got off me ephufuzela, I was praying that he wouldn't want to try again in a different position. He said "l'm sorry love, angazi kwenzakalani ngami". I told him not to worry, that we were going to be ok before l went to splash some cold water to cool down the fire that was burning in between my thighs. I felt sore, I hoped that Siya wouldn't want to try again anytime soon. I needed some time off to recover. Mr Muscle got excited again twice during the night as we were spooning, but Siya didn't try to get some. Yuu, l was relieved shem. 

The next morning, Faith woke up early and got ready to go job hunting. I dropped her off where she was going to get ama taxi. The next few days, Siya tried to get some but I told him l was on my period. I wasn't, I was still sore from that night. Faith was leaving early in the morning with us to go job hunting. One day I got off work early because I wanted to go look for a car to buy. I went home first to cook, there was a car parked in front of our house. The radio was on, but not to loud. I opened the front door slowly, as l walked past the kitchen, l saw an empty bottle of wine on the the kitchen top. In the exact same spot where I found Siya and Nicole, was Faith with only her nickers on sitting on some guy's lap. She was straddling him with her body facing away from me, so l couldn't see who the guy was from I was standing.
