MENZI
This is not the way I thought my leave will be . I had a long day but I’m glad we’re done with the first step .
The psychological evaluation was hard . I learned that her mom was mistreating her that is why she left home .
She’s doing all this surrogate thing because she feels like she owes her mom . Paying for her chemotherapy is all she can do .
The psychologist was not ok with her wanting to be surrogate. She needs to heal first but because of the situation she’s in , she can be my surrogate. I give her all the blessings.
I’m left with the surrogate. I needs to asks her few questions .
Me : so , what is the danger I’m putting myself in?
Her : she’s not ok . She’ll crash out when she feels like you don’t give her time . The hormones will make things worse .
Is it me or the psychologist doesn’t want me to make Luchumo my surrogate?
Me : I’ll take good care , don’t worry.
Her : and , I feel like she won’t allow you to take the full custody of the baby. She’ll feel like she’s sending away her baby . She’ll feel like she’s being like her mom .
Me : I’d she wants to be his/her part time mom. I don’t mind.
Her : ok then , we’re done for the day .
She looks disappointed . What was I supposed to do? Choose her instead of Luchumo?
Me : thank you so much .
She nods . I walks out , I found Luchumo talking with Sambulo . I can see they are getting along .
Me : let’s get going .
They turns and looks at me .
Chumo : where are we going?
I checks the time . 15h54 pm .
Me : we’ll meet my lawyer for the legal contract.
Chumo : I am very tired. I need to sleep .
Me : yeah yey , this day was long. You cried a lot, I’m sure your tanks empty .
Sambulo looks at her with a pity look . He better stay away from my surrogate . I know he fall in love so easy.
Chumo : I’m hungry, please drive me home .
Sambulo : I can drive her home . I also need to rush somewhere.
Me : I’ll request an Uber for you . I’ll drive Chumo to her place . Don’t worry .
Him : don’t worry boss , you can go home . I’m sure Thalande is waiting for you. I’ll drive Lu to her place .
I hear chuckles .I hate Sambulo’s game right now . What is he trying to achieve?
Me : stop being stubborn for no reason . I still need to have serious conversation with Chumo .
He groans , I want to laugh so bad. What’s going on in this man’s head?
Him : ok the , bye Lee.
She smiles at him and wave goodbye .
Me : let’s go .
She follows me .
Her : you have a girlfriend?
Me : we don’t asks each other those types of questions.
She went silent. I also went silent. Let’s be silences then .
Ok. That’s enough , the silence is enough now .
Me : we forgot to ask. What happened to your dad ?
Her : we don’t asks each other those type of questions.
She says without even looking at me.
Me : I’m your boss .
Her : not yet , we haven’t sigh any contract.
Still not looking at me .
Me : I can still change my mind. I’ll choose some one else .
Her : Then consider yourself as a cruel man and villain.
I shook my head in disbelief. This girl .
