CHAPTER 29: FINALLY A LITTLE HOPE

Sid's POV*

Me: Babe, you don't say such a thing.

Royalty: So what am I supposed to do. Just ignore that you are...

Me: There is nothing going on between her and I. Jealous are we.

Royalty: (smiling) stop flirting with me.

Me: Why wouldn't I flirt with my wife. Come here, give dad a hug.

I went close to her and hugged her so tight as she did the same, even though I knew she was weak.

Royalty: So I'm going to die.

Me: Who said you are going to die?

Royalty: I can feel it. I'm so sad because I'm going to die without giving you a son.

Me: So that's the only thing you are worried about, giving me a son.

Royalty: Yes, I so wanted to give you a son so badly. I guess it's not my ...

Me: Can you stop talking, and let's see how your heart is working now. I beg you from now on, just do things after thinking. In this condition, panicking is not something you should be friendly with , you understand?

Royalty: Yes.

Me: Good, because after panicking, that means your heart is going to work harder to maintain adequate blood floor, which will lead to heart failure, and that's not what we want, do we?

Royalty: No doctor.

Me: Good, I'm gonna go home and bring something for you to eat in the meantime, just close your eyes and rest, my love. My dynamite.

Royalty: mmmh, that pet name. I like it.

Me: You like it, you don't love it?

Royalty: I like it, now leave in starving.

Me: Ok ok even though you are just avoiding the question.

I went to Spar as soon as I left the hospital, got there and I bought food that doesn't have cooking oil. We have to try and stay away from threatening things.

"How is Mrs now?"

One of the doctors asked as I entered the emergency ward. He must have seen me when I arrived.

Me: A little hope, I guess.

Dr.: I wish her the best man. Don't worry, she is going to be fine. It could be now, later, after a day, 2 days, a week, a month, but trust me, she will be.

Me: Thanks man ill see you around.

I went to my wife's room, and what do you know? She is seated on the bed with her back supported by several pillows and reading a book or rather a novel.

Me: Well, I see you, who was here, and where did you get that novel?

Royalty: Well, a friend of yours came, and she said she is your long best friend . She said , "You guys, come a long way." I didn't know you have a lot of girl friends.

Me: What, a lot, what do you....

Royalty: Yeah, a lot. I mean, just a few minutes ago, you said a friend of yours said she is gonna help you and now this one. I must admit this one seems lovely, though.

Me: what the fuck? Who could have come here as my friend? I dont.....

"Well, that can only be me, your lovely friend. Man, I can't believe your wife managed to see what is inside of me that you couldn't see all these years."

I turn and look at her annoyed or rather a bit happy that maybe she brought something.

Me: What the hell, Tracy! How can you just come unannounced?

Tracy: You see makhoti, I told you there you saw it for yourself.

I looked at Royalty, and she is smiling. Shame, I hate how my wife is suffering. She doesn't deserve this. She is still young. How can God do this to her, to us.

Royalty: Trust me, I saw it.

Me: Babe, there is no another friend she is the same girl i told you that she said she would helped me though she didn't promise.

Tracy: Yet here I'm.

Royalty: Oh.

Me: Yeah, here, let me feed you before I have a talk with this arrogant woman.

Tracy: Those who are arrogant know each other.

Royalty: No babe, I'll feed myself. You just go and talk. Thank you once again, Tracy.

Tracy: mmmmmh, you are so sweet .

Me: Tracy, stop it, leave my wife, let's go.

They both laughed as I exit the room with Tracy following me.

Tracy: I'm just happy that you found happiness, man.

Me: Yeah, even though that happiness is about to be taken away from me forcefully in the most painful way.

Tracy: Worry not. Let's go to the cooler. I have a surprise for you.

Me: a surprise, in the cooler?

Tracy: Yeah, I thought I told you that for your happiness, I'll do anything.

Me: But how did you manage to put it in the cooler because I know you didn't find it in a leg....

Tracy: it's obvious. Remember you approached me knowing exactly what I'll have to do to get that heart.

Me: But Tracy....

Tracy: Don't worry, I didn't kill a useful person just to get it.

Me: I really don't wanna know how you managed to put it in the cooler because knowing you, you took out your pistol.

Tracy: Come on, don't make it sound like I'm the bad guy here....Titso show my man here that package.

Me: And I would be damned to think that there is no one here on your payroll.

Titso: Here it is, but my lady told me how you managed to get something like this one. This one is rare to find. Only a few people have it, man.

Tracy: You know I deliver anything at your service if you need me.

Me: Wow.

Tracy: uuhu.

Me: I'm speechless. I mean, I had lost hope, but here you are, man. I don't know how I'll repay you for this.

Tracy: well, ypu can repay me by making me your second wife.

Me: you are crazy.

Tracy: I'm joking man. Come on prepare for that heart transparent I need to see the queen ok before i leave.

Me: Sure. I'll see ypu around.

Titso put the heart back and we left with Tracy. I went back to my w8fe as Tracy left. When I got there she was fast asleep so i let her be and went home.

Huney: you are back, where is sis?

Me: come let me talk to you aside.

She followed me to my room. I sat on the bed as she say on the couch.

Me: I told her but...

Huney: Brother don't tell me ....

Me: listen listen, nothing happened well not really but she is ok she will be ok.

Huney: so where is she?

Me: at the hospital. I....

Huney: don't you dare...

Me: will you just keep quiet and give me time to speak.....thank you.

I heave a heavy sigh before I start talking again.

Me: well bad news is she is in a critical condition due to how she panicked and reacted when she find out about the contraceptives but the good news is that I found the heart.

Huney: you lie.

Me: no I'm not. We have to prepare for the heart transparent and I need ypu there ypu already know that.

Huney: the creche?

Me: ypu will leave it at Hun's place.

Huney: What! Noooo, with that witch Puleng.

Me: I thought ypu are the one who said she changed.

Huney: I did but not to be safe with these three. Brother has to be there, he will work from home.

Me: Whatever ypu do I just need your hand. Call at ypur work place and inform them.

Huney: Fine. When?

Me: we are doing it tomorrow.

Huney: but that's a short notice.

Me: so ypu want her to die I see. Let's just get this over and done with even though I'm scared.

Huney: scared of what?

She said, putting her iPod on her ear.

Me: What if I mess up and kill my wife, huh?

Huney: You won't...yes hello, yeah, I need a day tomorrow. I need to assist a doctor at Nyangakgwe and you know I'm the best.

She stopped talking and listened a bit.

Huney: im telling you so ypu can take it to the HR fuck ypu really annoy me.

She said and dropped the call.

Me: Really? You know that you are rough, right?

Huney: I know, and I don't care.

Me: ypu are really messed up than I thought.

I left her there as I went into the bathroom.

.......

I looked at Royalty one more time before I looked at Huney who is smiling like a retired.

Huney: we did it. We really did it.

Me: You think so?

Huney: So you think the machine was lying when it said the transparent was a success?
