IN FRANCISTOWN
Dr Sid's POV
Me: "Nurse Madonna, I'm not dating. I'm leaving. Please do as I say. "
Madonna: "yes doctor ".
I exited the theatre, but I heard all of them laughing, and I know they are laughing at me. I got to my office, took off the coat, and then I took my phone and left. I passed by Royalty's workplace, and she was not there. I know I told her that no work but not finding her here gave me a scare.
I mean, Royalty is stubborn, so she could have come to work, so not being here means she is not ok or she listened to me, but why would she? I mean, she doesn't see me the way I see her, so yeah. I drove straight to her house. I'm so glad her room door is outside. Otherwise, knocking on the main door was not going to work for me.
I knocked, but there was no answer. I knocked like several times, but still no answer. I pushed the door open, and she is inside sleeping. I went and sat on the chair, looking at her beautiful, gorgeous face, not making noise . I looked at her so closely, and all I could see was my future wife.
I loved Royalty from the very first day I saw her. It was love at first sight. I didn't even hide it from her, but what I noticed is that she avoided noticing that I love her, I feel something for. But now I'm not going to waste time. I truly love her genuinely, so I'll tell and show her .
I know I've been in many relationships, but not even one of them made me feel what I'm feeling right now, not even with Puleng. Yes, I admit I loved Puleng with all my heart, but this time, it's different. I'm in love with royalty. Loving someone and being in love are two different things.
"What are you even thinking? Ypu freaked me out. "
Me: "But you don't sound like someone who just got freaked. It's like you were pretending to be asleep. "
Royalty: "Yeah, ypu got me. I didn't want to see you, that's why I ignored you. What are you doing here? It's late. "
Me: "Good, you reminded me of something. Pack your overnight bag, please. We have to leave now now".
Royalty: "What, no."
Me: "Royalty, please just do it. I'm on a night shift, so I can't leave you alone. In fact, you are not supposed to sleep alone to begin with.
Royalty: "What do you think this is?"
Me: "I don't get you."
I'm just trying to annoy her right now, and I'm winning because she looks frustrated.
Royalty: "This, us, bo de sleepovers, the pet name calling. What are we doing?"
(These)
Me: "I.....I...well...".
Royalty: "No, please, we shouldn't do this. Even buying things for me should be the first and last time you do it. Please. "
Me: "Can we at least go now. I'm running late. "
Royalty: "You don't give up now, do you?"
Me: "Never, pack your overnight bag. I'm coming."
I went to my cat and removed the things that were on the front seat. She came as I was about to go back in. She opened the back door, ready to get in.
Me: "Just put your things and come and sit here with me."
She just put the stuff and cane and sat on the mother's seat. I drove straight to my flat. I could go to my house with her but it's too far and I'm only left with 2 hours which I'll use making her feel welcomed and comfortable.
Me: "If anything happens, just call me. Please don't hesitate."
Royalty: "I don't see the logic behind this."
Me: "What?"
Royalty: "Me sleeping here. I mean, I was alone at my place, and here I'm also alone, so what's the difference? "
Me: "The difference is that my flat has security while your place doesn't have any, even in the streets. Go to bed. I'll see you in a few hours."
Royalty: "Good luck."
I left her room and left for the clinic. I worked and worked and worked, and still no call from Royalty, so I guess she is ok. I knocked off and went to my flat only to find mam here asleep on the floor.
Me: "Hey, hey, wke up." I said, shaking her a bit.
Me: "Hey, hey, what's wrong? Why are you sleeping on the floor? You have a fever. Come here. "
I said, helping her to stand up, and I placed her on the couch. I looked around and the phone was on the floor broken. Now, it makes sense as to why she didn't call me when she is not ok.
Me: "im coming, just sit here."
I went to my room and got some pills for the fever that would not temper with her pregnancy. They won't affect her.
I took water and helped her to drink the pills. I helped her to sleep on the couch, and she closed her eyes there and there.
Royalty: "Can't we do an abortion right now?"
She said as soon as she woke up. I looked at her with shock all over my face. I mean, what really happened at night that is making her say something like this.
Me: "You don't mean that, do you?"
Royalty: "Unfortunately, yes, I mean it. I'm tired, Sid, and I'm alone. One day, I'll die alone like how I almost died last night. "
Me: "But you are not alone. I'm here with you, so why are you saying....."
Royalty: (crying) "No, ypu are not with me, Sid. We both know you are not with me. I'm alone. I was alone last night when I was in pain, when I felt my soul leaving my body, ypu were not here I was alone."
Me: "im sorry, Dynamite. I know I was supposed to be here, but...".
Royalty: ".....ypu were at work. Yeah, I know, which is why I'm suggesting this. You will be at work Sid, you can't be with me and even ask for a long leave to look after me during this pregnancy because you are not my husband! "
Me: "Where did I even say I'm your husband? I never said that, but I can do anything for you as your boyfriend. "
Royalty: (chuckling) "boyfriend, you say, please, let's just....terminate this pregnancy. I don't understand why I'm suffering)
Me: "Well, I'm not going to dob that shit even if I want to, I cant".
Royalty: "What do you mean you can't?"
Me: "Your pregnancy can't be terminated. There are 93.3% of you losing your life during the process, and besides, there are kids already."
Royalty: "You are a doctor. You can operate me. Cut me open and take them out. I'm tired already.)
Me: "No, we are not doing that. Why don't you understand, damnit, royalty!"
Royalty: "What part of I can't do this anymore, don't you understand? I said I wanted these babies out."
*Hun's POV*
I thought I had experienced heartache before, but I was lying to myself. When my best friend cheated on me with my girlfriend, I thought it was worse. Little did I know I'll experience real pain when a true diamond leaves me.
I thought I was doing myself well, I thought choosing my girlfriend over my wife because she was from the village was a good idea. I loved Royalty the first day I saw her at the village but I tried to fight the feelings because she was a village girl.
I ended up doing something horrible because I couldn't accept the feeling I had for her. I wanted to chase it away, but in the end, I chased her away instead. Now I feel like I'm a lost puppy. My mother ignored me from that day she asked me to find Royalty. My father, well, he never got involved at all.
Nowadays, I'm always buried in work with Tsepo, always annoying me. I don't even go to the clubs because I'm always thinking a lot of things. I'm always asking myself where would we be if I had given us a chance, if I had at least tried and pretended to accept her as my wife.
Truth is, I miss her. I miss seeing her in this house every time I come back from work. I miss her food. I miss her annoyance, just.. I miss everything about her.
Tsepo: "Don't you think we should send people out to look for her. I mean, we can post on social media that whoever bring her or tell us where she is, we will reward them with P2000. That's a lot of money."
Me: "When did you coke in here?"
Tsepo: "5 or so minutes ago."
Me: "Do you think that will work? I mean, she is not missing, she left. "
Tsepo: "it doesn't matter, it will work, akere we want to know where she is." (Remember)
Me: "I'll think about it."
*Royalty's POV*
This man is really serious. I locked me in his hoise for the past 5 days and when I ask him until when will he lock me in here , he will be like, 'until you know what to think and say and what not to think and say'. I mean, does that make sense?
He goes to work during the day and night, but he makes sure he comes back and checks on me every 3 hours. It's like I'm a prison, and it doesn't help that I'm worried about MA Mkhize's house. Won't some people steal things, not forgetting Mrs Batsi she must be worried sick about me.
Now I miss my phone at least I would have called and told her that I'm fine. I don't even know her number by head.
Me: "When am I going back to my place?"
He is home today, infact he went to the surgery in the morning and he came back an hour ago.
Sid: "When you give birth and besides, I'm on my way to ask you to stay with me permanently my Dynamite until we get married."
Me: "What? Dude, when did I even become your boyfriend?"
Sid: "The very same day you told me that you feel safe in my hands. That's when I knew that my heart was not wrong. You are the one."
Me: "Such a boyfriend I have, you don't even know how to ask a girl out. I feel sad that I have a boyfriend like you. "
Sid: "So you agree to be my girlfriend?"
Me: "What choice do I have? I mean, at least it will make me feel a little better knowing that I'm staying at my boyfriend's place than staying with a man I don't share any relationship with. Now tell me when am I going back home? I mean, I'm not sick at all, so?"
Sid: "You are not well, so it's still a no until you give birth."
Me: "But Sid...".
Sid: "ok ok ok don't pester me ill drive you later on today but can you please give me a pet name atleast, even my live that's popular will do other than calling me Sid. It's like you are some random person calling me. it's not cute at all. "
Me: "Thank you, I'll go and pack my things."
I said, already walking away, going to the spare room I've been using.
Sid: "Seriously, Dynamite?"
