CHAPTER 30: THINGS ARE FALLING APART

Puleng's POV *

Ypu know when you think that everything is now OK, everything is under control, that's when another problem resurfaces. Either it's new, or it's your past haunting you.

I'm telling you I'm cursed, like the witch who bewitched me died because if she was alive, she would have messy on me.

Yes, that witch was a she because not man witches are this cruel.

I mean, nothing goes well in my life, and even if anything goes well, something bad just comes out of the blue and ruins everything.

I thought since i had Hun I was going to be happy. I was going to be happy because I have the love of my life, but here I'm in a toxic relationship or rather marriage.

I dont know what to do now because trust me, I'm trying for it to work, but nothing is working at all. We are always fighting, even for a smaller thing it always ends up as something big.

I didn't want to get pregnant, and so I used contraceptives, and when Hun found out about it, he was so mad that he spent 2 days away from him. He came back, and we talked even though I refused to stop the contraceptives, but he, he wanted another child.

Now, after 4 years, I decided to stop them, and 2 weeks after, I was already pregnant. I mean, how can my body betray me like this. I mean, I was taking those pills for 4 years, so obviously, I was supposed to struggle to fall pregnant, but i didn't.

I fell pregnant, but unfortunately, I had a miscarriage. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days, and the doctor advised us not to fall pregnant again too soo but with Hun, you won't relate. He got me pregnant a month later, and here I'm, with a 16-week belly.

Now I regret stopping the contraceptives because even now, I'm still suffering. Hun doesn't even have time for me, for us. After work, he goes to the club and drinks until around 11 pm and comes home, and goes straight to bed.

I thought he was going to be happy that I'm pregnant like he wanted, but no, he is even distancing himself away from me even more. Today he is home, he's working from home and he has been in his study room since morning.

I made breakfast and called him, and he just said I'm coming but never did. Now it's lunch time, i don't even know if I should call him or not. If Aliya was here, I was going to send her to call him, but unfortunately, she is at creche.

Now it's forcing me to just go and call him myself, which I don't even feel like it. I got to the study and knocked. I heard him saying enet3r, and so I did.

Hun: I told you to come in huh, who told you that you should enter?

Me: But I heard you saying enter.

I said already on the edge of crying. I mean, I really hear him saying enter, and now he is asking me who said I should enter.

Hun: ooh shit!....I'm so sorry, my wife. I don't know what is wrong with me. What were you saying?

Me: Lunch is ready.

I said, leaving the study running while crying also. I went straight outside at the back of the house and sat down, continuing to cry. I'm hurt, really.

I'm always stressed, and with this pregnancy, it's not easy. I try by all means not to think too much, but I can't help it. Now it has gotten to the extent where I even have heart pains, the cramps, it's just a lot.

*Hun's POV*

I think I need help, like serious help, even if it means seeing and talking to a stranger. Yes, a therapist, I think I need one.

Puleng ran outside, and here I'm still sitting on my chair in my study without even moving. I mean, I saw that she was crying, so I should go and consol her, but here I'm.

Me: Hey man.

I said after i dialled my friends number, and he answered. I explained to him what it was and what had been happening.

"Don't you think you need therapy?"

Me: Yeah, that's what I thought also because I can't help it. I just do things unexpectedly, and then I'll realise my mistake, but even if I do, I don't take any action.

"I'll send you some contacts of the best person for you because truly speaking, it's not cool at all because the last thing you want is to have her miscarry again all because of your behaviour. She has worked really hard to be where she is, to be where ypu two are, and we know that, ypu and I both."

Me: Send me the contact"

"I'll give you 2 of them. The other one might now get through, but the other one will definitely do."

Me: Thank you, man.

I dropped the call, switched off my computer, and left my studies. On my way to the dining table, my phone beeped, and it's the contacts from my friend. I dialled one of them and it didn't go through so I dialled another one and it did.

"Miss Wayne speaking here,"

Me: Oh hi, hi I'm I mean my name is Hun....

"Relax, relax, breathe in and put, sir. Now you can talk"

Oh shit, how in the hell did I even panick? So I'm weak, like Huney said.

"Sir, you are still here?"

Me: Oh yeah, I'm here, as I was saying I'm Hun Whale.

"How may I help you, sir?"

Me: I need he....ypu know what? Why dony you make an appointment for me and I'll come and meet you in person.

"Not a problem at all, sir. Block 6, Blue Vail Street, the white building, floor number 4. Look for the door with the sticker written, Dr Wayne."

Me: time?

"Oh, I was checking my schedule, make it 14.00 sharp,"

Me: Thank you, mam.

"Ypu are welcome, sir."

I dropped the call and heave a sigh. I went to the bedroom and I found Puleng asleep so I went back downstairs and started eating again.

I finished eating and went back to my study again. Around 7 pm, I got out, and there was no sign of anyone. The sitting room is empty, and even the kitchen, worse, the lights are off.

I switched on the lights and went to the bedroom and I found Puleng packing some clothes in a travelling bag.

Me: Hey, my princess.

I said to Aliya as she ran to me, and I lifted her up.

Aliya: Hello, dad.

Me: Hello princess. Where are you two planning to go?

Aliya: mom said we are going home to grandma.

Me: ok....what, Puleng, where are you going?

Puleng: I'm going home to my mother.

Me: But why? I mean, we didn't talk about you going there, so why?

Puleng: I'm alone here. Can't you see that?

Me: Don't you dare raise your voice at me or I will ......eish I'm sorry, it's just that you're going home, saying you are alone. But you have me, Aliya is here.

Puleng: You are never here with me. I'm always alone . Do you even know when my next doctor's appointment is?

"Now I'm in trouble, really."

Me: I'm trying ok.

Puleng: no Hun you are not trying at all. You are always busy with work, and the only thing you think about is royalty. I made a mistake by falling pregnant because you will never change. You are still stuck on royalty, so why don't you go to her or bring her here? I'm leaving.

Me: ok God.

I put Aliya down and exited the bedroom. I I went to the sitting room, dialling Kev's number.

Kevy: Why do you have to always call me at the wrong time. I'm busy already. We sleep early here, unlike ypu who...

Me: Can you listen to me and stop speaking nonsense.

Kevy: What is it Hun Whale?

Me: Puleng is packing she wants to leave me.

Kevy: At least now she has seen that you are playing....

Me: Kevy, really? I'm calling you because I need help and you....

Kevy: I'm not helping you, I'm not coming there Hun. If you love your wife, your daughter, your unborn child, and your marriage, you will go to her, make her sit down, and talk sense into her.

Me: But how....

Kevy: You are a man mfethu, go and talk to your wife and make sure she doesn't go anywhere. I'll be there in the morning.

And just like that, he dropped the call. I went back inside, and Puleng is now packing Aliya's clothes.

Me: Can we talk before you finish packing. Please, I beg ypu.

Puleng: I don't want to hear anything from ypu Hun I'm tired, ok? I'm a human being, and so I get tired too. Just let me go, please, I beg you.

Me: Just listen to me this once, then you will decide....

Puleng: That time already passed Hun, I don't want to listen to anything now.

Me: I need help, and so I'm....

Puleng: Please leave Hun , I gave up already about this marriage. I gave up about you. It seems like you will never forget Royalty, so please don't try anything now. Let me go, please.

I left the room and dialled Royalty's number, but Huney answered.

Huney: To what do we owe this surprise call the one and only Hun Whale.
