Fainthearted | Episode 2
I was hesitant to go and say hi because he was with some girl and knowing Mahlatse she might be his girlfriend. Well he saw me then said something to the girl and came towards me. For whatever stupid reason i was busy hiding my wedding ring, We talked for a bit and exchanged numbers then he left.
Oh before i forget Mahlatse is my crazy ex boyfriend from the University whom i met through my then best friend Julia who was dating Mahlatse’s friend Thato, we will get to that shortly.
My name is Angelina Hlongwane , i hold a Criminology degree. The day i met Mahlatse i was studying in Julia’s room for a test that i later failed when he came with Thato, i knew then that he will be my worst exciting memory i will have to die with. I have never met anyone in my life who do not stop to think, his impulsive behavior was very attractive for someone who grew up in a bottle.
When i got home i found Nhloni washing what looked like her boyfriend’s clothes, i said my hellos and went straight to my bedroom I had to change before i start preparing for dinner.
I had a long day and i was tired so i prepared for a bath when i realized i haven’t seen my Pretty Love Hunter in more than two months now, and i went running to check if my babe is still under the bed. These things have seen me through so many trials in my life.
I locked my door and played soft music then went ahead to prepare my body for honeymoon that i well deserved for being a good wife, my husband wouldn’t be home for another hour or two that means i have all the time in the world to make myself happy.
I heard Nhloni stop singing while i was still busy with my vibrator, i was in the middle of the biggest orgasm in two months to even care why she stopped singing, the key to successful honeypot is to listen to your body and follow the rhythm, i had enough time to master this technique while my husband was out working and comes back home tired from work.
I took the towel that i was kneeling on and put it in our laundry basket because it was wet and i was not going to wash it while Nhloni is washing, i did not want her to look at me and think i am one of those sexually frustrated housewives and then wiped my Pretty Love Hunter back to it’s hiding place.
I went ahead and took my bath i was in a hurry so Mandla doesn’t come back and find me still cooking. I did not even know Fumani was in the house i was surprised to see Him and Nhloni looking at me like i just betrayed Jesus , maybe they heard what was happening in the bedroom and to be honest i did not care i am also a human and i have needs.
“Still as beautiful as ever! too bad i am a little too late, i saw that rock on your finger i guess they are right to say all the good ones are taken!” it was a text from Mahlatse which made My Heart skip 3 beats as i blush, i was quickly brought to reality by the bell outside. My children are back from School.
I don’t want you guys to think that i have problems in my marriage, what Mandla and I have is a little different from your typical marriage. I love him to the moon and back so does he, but i am a little broken i try to be as perfect as i can but the reality is that we cannot pour from an empty cup.
After he cheated on me with his PA he apologized and we went for couple’s therapy for some few weeks before i realize that i will not be able to forgive him for what he did to me so i decided to live with it since i cant leave him, This man is the foundation of my life and i cannot even begin to imagine life without him.
At first i couldn’t look him in the eye, we were both sleeping in two different bedrooms and i was drained to be honest with you. We had couple of family meetings to solve the baby issue and we agreed to take care of the baby but Mandla should Stop seeing the Woman. We solved our problems but i couldn’t forgive my husband for having his first kid with another woman , he took that away from me it was supposed to be our baby.
Nhloni helped with the children while i prepare pap and fried steak with veggies for dinner, Mandla came back on time and we sat as a family and ate our dinner peacefully, everything i have always wanted and my husband gave it to me, i couldn’t any more happier.
Growing up my mother had to work hard so we get food and clothes, i never met my father he apparently died shortly after my little sister was born which is two years after my birth. i cannot remember how he looked like and there is no photograph of him anywhere, my mother did not even want us talking about him or asking endless questions like she put it.
We never had anything like family dinner or anything family, She came back home late tired and woke up as early as she can to go to work. I hardly saw my mother so i practically raised my little sister even though we were much of the same age. Since then having a complete family was my dream and here i am today with my two children and a husband.
Mandla and I had problems conceiving, we tried for a whole year just after our wedding i went to doctors and they all told me to be patient ” there is nothing wrong with you Mrs Hlongwane, it will happen in time, try not to stress about it” at first it was encouraging and simple because we were both trying, things got worse when i found out he made another woman pregnant.
He was working late and came back tired, i did not have a problem with that because i was also tired from work and we could just cuddle and sleep, baby making sex was not as nice as it sounds so we would skip until i am ovulating. To be honest with you i just ignored all the signs because i was too focused on making a baby for me husband.
