PRE FINAL
Kristian
Three months, that’s how long it has been since I gave birth to Nasia Grace, life has been hectic handling two children, work and being a wife but I would not trade these moments for anything. I love my babies a lot and my husband makes me happy.
Today is a special day, my mother is a year older and Robert wants to propose, he talked to me about it and I gave cons£nt. We are gathered together in the living room for the first time in several weeks, sipping on glas-ses of wine and munching on some snacks. We have just finished eating dinner and it’s time for mummy to start opening her pres£nts.
I am holding Nasia in my hands while Caleb is sitting on daddy P’s l@p.
We give mummy her pres£nts and one by one, she excitedly opens them.
‘’Happy Birthday babe,’’ Daddy P murmurs, handing her a big blue box.
‘’Thank you,’’ she gently rips it open to find a small box inside.
‘’What is this? You got me a new car?’’ She shakes the box.
Jada and I exchange knowing glances before we both say, ‘’just open it mummy.’’
‘’Fine! Fine! But this box is too small, it could be a—.’’
‘’Open it mummy,’’ we say, cutting her off mid-s£ntence. ‘’Good things come in small packages.’’
Opening, a jewelry box of pink meets her eyes.
Glancing at daddy R, she lifts the lid of the box and g@sps. A beautiful diamond ring glitters at her.
‘’Robert! Oh Robert!’’ she exclaims. Chat MartinMartino on zero eight one eighty thirty fourteen twenty one to be added to his whatsapp group of stories
Plucking the ring from the box, Robert gets down on one knee and holds out the ring.
‘’Deborah Chileshe,’’ he says. ‘’Will you marry me?’’
Deborah
‘’Robert!’’ I g@sp, tears running down my face. I have waited for so long for a moment like this.
When Kristian’s father left me, I was hopeless and bitter towards me, I didn’t think I would be able to move on but Robert c@m£ along and he showed me a different kind love, Robert has been patient with not only me but my daughter, I am more than certain he will make an amazing husband to me. Sniffing back the tears, I hold out my hand, ‘’yes I will marry you.’’
His face beams with excitement then he holds my f!nger and sli-ps on the ring. Everyone cheers and cl@ps while giving cheerful ululations. I hold up my hand to admire the ring, it is perfect just like my relationsh!pwith Robert.
‘’I love you!’’ I whisper.
‘’I love you too, you make me so happy,’’ he pu-lls me close to him and briefly k!sses me.
‘’I think we should make a toast,’’ Palesa says.
‘’I agree,’’ responds Kristian.
‘’To becoming Mrs. Kaunda,’’ Palesa exclaims.
We all hold our glas-ses up high and clank them together.
‘’Cheers!’’ we exclaimed before each taking a sip of our drinks.
Kenzie
I am sitting on the couch staring at the ph0tos on my phone. Kristian was live a few minutes ago and after that she posted ph0tos of herself and her family, apparently her mother has just gotten engaged to her old time b©yfri£nd. I hate Kristian with everything in me, I hate everything about her, I hate the fact that she has everything I have ever wanted to have- a husband who loves her, two beautiful children and a wonderful family who totally adore her.
I also hate the fact that my father has finally made peace with her. He told me about it the other day. He wanted me to ask for forgiveness but I refused to do so. I am never going to make peace with Kristian, she is the reason my father has never fully loved me and given me all the attention I ever nee-ded. When it comes to Mr. Msizi it’s always been about finding a way to make that silly girl forgive him, even when she treated him like trash, he always went back to plead.
I will never consider Kristian as my sister, she can die for all I care.
‘’Is this how you will waste your life away? Drinking and blaming the world for your mistakes?’’ Dad asks, walking into my room.
I look up at him, ‘’Leave me alone, allow me to waste my life away I am sure it will make you happy.’’
‘’You are my child and even if you messed up, I still want the best for you in life.
‘’Kristian’s mother just got engaged,’’ I turn the phone to him, ignoring what he just said.
‘’That is none of my business.’’
‘’Aren’t you jealous?’’
‘’Why would I be? I have your mother.’’
I laugh taking a sip of my beer, ‘’just admit you regret leaving this woman for my mother.’’
‘’I am not having this conversation with you.’’
I laugh again, louder this time around, ‘’the truth hurts.’’
‘’I love you child and I just want you to pick up the pieces of your broken life, what happened is not the end of the world.’’
‘’Starting over is not an issue, it’s knowing I let you down that $h!t will scar me for the rest of my life.’’
‘’Forgive yourself.’’
‘’It’s ha-rd ,’’ I respond with tears running down my face.
He sits next to me, ‘’If I am being honest, I was disappointed and maybe I still am a little disappointed, I can’t get over losing Msizi Daily Mail but what’s done is done, we nee-d to learn from this and move on, so I forgive you,’’ He pu-lls me to him and embr@ces me, allowing me to lean on his shoulder, for the next few minutes I just cry and pour my heart out.
‘’It is well.’’
‘’Thank you.’’
‘’I love you child.’’
‘’I love you too daddy.’’
Meira
A few months earlier, Meira had gone wildly insane. She was walking down the street when she started tearing off her clothes and running around n-ked screaming at the t©p of her lungs. Her cousin Sasha had to hire people to gr-ab her and take her to the hospital. Meira is currently confined to a mental institution, she was judged incurably insane by different psychiatrists.

FINAL
“Be willing to take a chance because you never know how perfect something could be.’’
Three years later- When Kristian opened her eyes that Saturday morning, Lee was standing before her with a tray of food.
Sitting upright, Kristian smiled and said, ‘’Good morning baby! How long have you been up?’’
‘’Good morning my baby, I got up at six so I could make you breakfast.’’
‘’How thoughtful of you, happy three years anniversary. You have been an amazing husband and father, God knew I nee-ded a Lee in my life. Thank you for always going out of your way to make sure the kids and I are protected and taken care of.’’
He put the tray of food on the side table, ‘’Happy three years anniversary to you too my darling. Thank you for being my daily dose of sanity, you have been the best wife and mother, a little stubborn though but I am not complaining.’’
Then he gr@bb£d some flowers from the table and handed her some flowers and a blue jewelry box. She opened the box to find a beautiful n£¢klace with a gold, heart shaped locket on it.
‘’Oh my goodness!’’ she exclaimed. ‘’Lee! This is beautiful, I love it.’’
‘’You are welcome,’’ he leaned in and planted a k!sson her husband’sl-ips.
‘’I love the flowers too, they smell so good,’’ she smiled, sniffing the fragrant bouquet.
‘’Babe eat up alre-ady, the food will get cold.’’
‘’Okay,’’ she jumped out of be-d and rushed to the bathroom, washed her face and c@m£ back into the be-droom.
Then she sat next to Lee and they quietly enjoyed their breakfast.
‘’Thank you for the breakfast babe.’’
‘’You are always welcome,’’ He pu-ll-ed her close and started k!ss!ngher pas-sionately.
‘’Mummy!’’ Their be-droom door barged open suddenly and their children rushed in. Kristian quic-kly jumped back.
‘’Good morning children of mine,’’ she smiled at them trying to compose herself.
‘’You two should learn to knock, this is not your room,’’ Lee scolded them.
‘’Good morning mummy,’’ they jumped onto the be-d and showered Kristian with hvgs and k!sses.
‘’How did you guys sleep?’’
‘’I had a great night,’’ Caleb responded.
‘’And you?’’ I asked Nasia.
‘’I want to sleep here tonight.’’
‘’You have your own room,’’ Caleb responded.
‘’Daddy! Caleb is fighting.’’
‘’But Caleb is right, you have your own room,’’ said Lee.
Nasia frowned, ‘’mummy! Can I sleep here with you tonight?’’
‘’Of course my princess.’’
‘’Yes!’’ she exclaimed, sticking her ton-gue out at Lee and Caleb.
They spent the rest of the day watching TV until later in the evening when Lee took the children to their grandparent’s house.
‘’Daddy R and mummy D, these are yours to keep for the next few days.’’
‘’You go and have fun child, don’t worry about these two,’’ Daddy R responded.
‘’We shall be waiting for baby number three,’’ mummy D win-ked.
Lee laughed, ‘’I think we are done.’’
‘’Two and you are done? No way.’’
‘’We are not having this conversation mum,’’ he stood up and they laughed.
‘’Children see you later.’’
‘’Bye daddy, love you.’’
‘’Love you too.’’
And with that he left the house and drove back home. When Lee got home, he found Kristian all dressed up and waiting up for him. They were set to go out for dinner that evening and they would be spending the night out.
‘’You are back,’’ she said, standing up.
Whistling Lee’s eyes racked bolding over Kristian’s b©dy, ‘’Babe you look beautiful.’’
Kristian smiled, ‘’thank you so much.’’
‘’Come here,’’ he said, holding out his hand to her. Kristian was happy to oblige her husband, she put her hand in his and they walked out of the house to the car. Outside, he opened the car door for her and she slid in then he went round to the driver’s seat, got in and drove off. They arrived at their destination almost two hours later.
Checking into their h0tel room, the two went to have dinner and just hang out for a while.
‘’The pact! The rules! The games! Babe, if we went back in time would you do it again?’’ Lee asked.
‘’Over and over again, I would agree to that silly arrangement.’’
‘’Remember how much we hated each other,’’ she laughed.
‘’I think you always loved me, you were just too scared to tell me.’’
She rolled her eyes, ‘’don’t be so full of yourself dude, you were the one who liked me from day one.’’
‘’Three years down the line and I still want to do life with your annoying as-s.’’
She picked her glas-s of wine and held it up, ‘’to forever and a day wech!pondo.’’
‘’To forever and a day muntu wandi,’’ they clinked their glas-ses together and took a sip of their wine.
A few hours later, Lee and Kristian went back into their h0tel room. Kristian had just closed the door behind her when Lee pinned her against the wall, pressed his b©dy against hers and started k!ss!ngher. He k!$$£d her intensely and so thor0ûghly, her head was spinning when he finally lifted his head and whispered, ‘’Tonight you are mine.’’
‘’All yours baby, all yours.’’
‘’I think it’s time for baby number three.’’
Next Lee undressed his wife until she was n-ked then he k!$$£d and t©uçhed her all over her b©dy. Lying her n-ked b©dy on the be-d, he str!pped himself, l@yon t©p of her. When he pene-trated her de-eply she began a low m0@n ing, thrû-sting fas-ter, unable to restrain a moment longer, she met him with an equal zeal, just as hungry for him as he was for her. She dug her nails into his back as he pressed himself into her moving even fas-ter, suddenly her m0@n s grew into a sudden cry and she shouted in ecstasy, the cli-max ripping her ap@rt over and over again, Lee c@m£ almost simultaneously unable to hold himself back.
‘’I love you,’’ he whispered, taking her in his arms and holding her close to him.
‘’I love you more.’’
They made love again, slow and gently this time around, by the time they were done, they were both exhausted. They la-id in be-d afterwards wra-pped up in the sheets and holding each other. They were content to have each other, nothing else mattered but the love they had for each other and their children.
The
End…
