Before the I Do

Chapter Eight

“Sanele said he’s coming for us after he’s discharged from the hospital”

He chuckled “Then he better be ready for war”

I was confused. We were getting ready for the day and we were dressing up. I had to go and pick up Mpendulo since his Dad is in hospital.

“But you guys are best friends surely…”

He laughed “Best what? Sanele and I are not even friends. We just doing business together”

I was puzzled. I thought these two were inseparable friends.

I sat down as I was putting my shoes on

"What do you mean?"

"You wouldn’t understand so let’s not talk about it."

I didn’t want to pry so I kept quiet. But I had plenty of questions because I knew that Sanele is involved in some shady business. Is Syamthanda also involved?

He saw the confusion and curiosity in my face

"Don’t bother about that baby" (He kissed my forehead)

I nod.

We finished and locked the door and went to the parking lot. He opened my car’s door for me and I got in.

I said my goodbye and kissed. I drove off to pick up Mpendulo.
