MENZI
This gender is not ok upstairs . What is wrong with this girl ? She always finds a way to blame me for everything that is happening.
Her : you did it again .
Me : what is wrong now ? You wanted to be treated like a princess, when I try to treat you like a princess you complain .now you’re saying I make you sick .
She looks at me for sometime before sitting down on the floor .
You see , she’ll say I’m abusing her . She left the couch to sit down on the floor .
Her : I’m allergic to flowers Menzi .I told you so many times but still .
She’s what ?
Me : you what ? I’m sorry I didn’t know.
Her : that’s it , you know nothing about me .
Me : I do know that you’re Siyamthanda Myeza . What more do you want from me?
Her : I want nothing.
She stands up and takes her bag .
Her : you don’t love me, you don’t even care about me. I just don’t why I’m still here .
She takes off the ring and places it in the table .
Her : I’m done . You can focus on your work until you found someone you will love not someone you want to make a baby machine .
Me : what baby machine now ?
She’s not making any sense right now .
Her : I had a miscarriage few weeks ago and don’t care about that , all you want is a kid .
Me : I don’t care ? That was my baby too . What do you mean I don’t care ?
Her : I won’t have this conversation with you again . Bye , hope you find someone you will love .
With that , she walks out. What was that ? What is wrong with her?
“ what did you do now ? “
That’s my sister’s little voice .
Me : Hey Wenzy .
I brushes my hair, I’m so frustrated right now .
Her : I just saw Siya walking out crying .
Me : I was asking her about the pregnancy . She said she’s not pregnant .
Her : yeah about that , Zewande told me that she’s on birth control .
What ? This fool .
Me : she thinks I’m a fool , ohhh this girl .
I pace up and down feeling so frustrated . Why would she lie to me ? Let’s forget about the flowers part . I know I made a mistake but what about her behavior ?
Ohh my God , she knows how much I wanted a child .
Me : I don’t know what to do right now .
Her : let her heal , she lost her first child before she could even hold him .
Me : I want a child , that’s what I want to heal .
Her : the problem is, you want a child from someone who doesn’t want a child right now . Maybe you should try something else . A surrogate Maybe .
Me : A stranger to carry my child?
She nods .
Me : hay No .
Her : I tried , leave Siya alone . I know you don’t love her , just let her go .
Me : which side are you on ?
Her : the right side . I love you brother but your behavior is not right .maybe it’s grief… no , you started that want a child thing of yours long time a ago . I feel like you’re possessed.
Possessed , ohhh wow !
Me : ok , let me get back to my work . Please lock the door in your way out.
Her : with pleasure .
She walks out . I don’t know how I feel right now but all I know is that I don’t like this feeling.
What now ?
