THE BROODER

30.

***CONNIE**

It's an easy job and she likes it here. It's been a week of working at Carter holdings and she must say, it's a wonderful workspace for her. The staffs are extra nice to her maybe it's as a respect for her brother who's the account manager. She works alongside Masithole. Their Job is to arrange office documents, printings and typo errors. They share an office room at the middle floor. Each person with her own desk and space. It is very conducive to work.

Masithole:" I will be leaving early today. I have this prayer at church to do and I look forward to the church service."

She's quite the prayer warrior. She likes to begin and end their work days with prayer and she leads the prayers. Connie is yet to meet the boss himself but she has heard rumors and they're not so pleasant to hear. Masithole specifically told her to avoid messing with the boss's files so as to avoid his tantrums.

Jamie works in the office immediately Masithole leaves.

JAMIE:" Sis coco, what's for dinner tonight?"

They have this thing of eating out together every night since they began working together. They don't eat dinner at home but outside.

Connie:" I don't know... maybe some Chinese Salmon steak? The last one was yummy "

Jamie:"Hmmm, that's true plus it is Friday night. It will be very extra with a great amount of rice wine "

They both share a common love for the same meal. It's a sibling thing.

Connie:"Great combo! I can't wait to taste it. But Jamie, don't you have a Miss-baby-momma to go out with? I mean, it's a Friday night for couple bonding not siblings.'

Jamie:"No ma'am. I'm all yours "

Connie:"Ewwww, common Lil Man. She's trying, meet her half way. You know she loves you and I don't see you settling with anyone and that's because you see her in your life. You are both old here. You two are no longer kids that get to live their lives as they want. She's been waiting on you for years so please meet her half way."

Jamie:"She's a lot and she's got a huge temper. Sometimes it can be so overbearing. I love her yes, but that woman is very stubborn and.. and ...and strong "

Connie:" Exactly! She's strong. Cause if it's my ass, I'll be long married with kids for another man not hoping on you for years. She's truly a strong woman. One more thing Jamie, what kind of example are you teaching the kids? You both have girl and boy children and you're setting the example that it is normal to cohabit with kids and not marry. My niece may allow any guy that comes into her life to cohabit together or bear kids too. My nephews may think it's a normal setting Lil Man. Do something fast man! At least for the children, you two have been living together for years. What's a couple of certificate to it?"

Jamie:"Fine. I'll talk with the uncles tomorrow to pay lobola next week and we'll plan a wedding."

Connie:" Good boy. Chat with the Makoti first"

Jamie:" I will. But we will still do dinner together at the Chinese "

Connie:"sure!"

He calls Martha as he settles in his office...

Martha:" Baba ke Mbuso."

Jamie:" Mar, I'm sorry for taking so long to put a name to our relationship. I will have the uncles send a letter tomorrow and I'll pay lobola next week."

Martha:(With a teary voice)Wow!... Thank you jamjam. I am so happy to hear that!"

Jamie:"No need for that Mar. I should be thankful to have you, to have stick around for so long. Honestly, I had a long talk with sis and she made me see how wrong we've been raising our kids. I want to do things right by you Mar. Things I should have done a long time."

Martha:"I stayed because you're the only man for me. I don't see life without you and the children. You will always be the one in my heart. And I'm grateful to sis Coco. Today is a memorable day for me. Come home jamjam."

Jamie:"I will after dinner with sis."

Martha:" Okay "

***RICHARD***

Ashley:"Are you talking about my Aster and Astra?"

He's being clueless about a name for days now but he'll definitely give them those names. It suits them. His kids are so cute like the heavenly bodies.

"They're just days old and you scarred them woman."

Ashley:"Those children are mine Mister and I have every right to do whatsoever with my children."

"If I were you, I will be so choosy with my words. If the children are truly yours then, why are they not in your custody but mine?"

Ashley:" That's because of wicked and heartless people like you who go about stealing babies from mothers while they sleep."

"I see you don't want to ever unite with the children anymore. I was thinking of a shared custody but after seeing what a shameless mother like you did to the children, I think you deserve to be sold off to some Indian dog who will not only use you for s****l exploitation but will sell your parts for coins."

Ashley:" I will prefer any Indian dog any time and any day over to monsters like you who separate mothers from their weaning little ones."

"I..." She hangs up. Wait, she ended the call on me? The Richard Carter, the Death? The nerve of this b^tch! I can't believe I just made Matt pay millions to purchase her freedom. I shouldn't have saved her. She doesn't deserve her freedom. I don't even know what led me to her as my BROODER. They're several ladies, some younger and maybe wiser than her yet I picked her!

I look at my sleeping son. Aster...What a nice name! He's name is now Aster while his sister is Astra. Their mother might be rude and shameless but she has a good choice of names for my kids.

I need a refund...I'm not paying for sh^t.
