Who would think like that. Yaa iye Moses anga akuda kunditsvaga manje. Takazongotaurawo dzimwe nyaya ndichibva ndazomusiya ndakudzokera kumba. Mhamha was happy when I told her about going kwa Doctor mangwana. Mufaro wacho was as if mangwana vaitodzoka vachiona kkk. Takadya tikasuka kwakunorara. I wondered hangu kuti since I was going to the big city was I by any chance going to see Tino. I missed home ini. I missed Sagambe the place I was born. Yes tanga tabviswa munhamo but I longed that one day ndaizokudzokera ku Sagambe. Dzimwe nguva ndaiseka hangu ndichigaya kuti mainini vari kutakurirwa nani mvura hee vana vangu havatakure mvura kkkk kuda kuitirwa haiwa. Hupenyu soo, haaa ivhiri shuwa. Ndakazobatwa nehope hangu. The following day was business as usual ndakazo preparer kuti Mr Fungo vatiwane tapedza and 1pm vakasvikawo. I was so nervous about Harare but takafamba mushe. I couldn't stop looking at the big buildings Harare yanga yakanaka. Tazoburuka ndaiita kutarisa kuti pamwe mu vanhu imomo ndaizonawo Tino but dololo. Takapinda ma doctor Mr Fungo vakaita paperwork pasina time takanzi pindai. The doctor examined her vakatorwa ma tests and ma film emaziso avo. Takazonzi we must come back after a week for results. Takabuda tikaenda nekubasa kwa Mr Fungo. Haa takamugara mumota mhamha vakatomborara. Vakazodzoka vakati vanga vapinda mu meeting. " Melody anokwanisa kurara ega here ne vana. Ndine report randiri kuda kunyora ririkudiwa manheru ano" Me " Ehe anokwanisa. Maybe kungomuudza kuti tichadzoka mangwana Him " Ok regai ndiphone pa Baba Jamie Me " Phonai pangu ndasiya phone. Him " Ok Vakaphoner vakataura naye. Vakabva vazophonera guard kuti agare pedyo nemba yedu. He said we were going kumba kwavo... *Mrs Fungo* Shura ndorandinoitirwa na Davison aah. I looked in disbelief seeing Metabel and her blind mother entering my house. Vakandi mhoresa vakanzi vagare na Dave. Ndakabva ndazvi excuser hangu. I went kubedroom. Ndanga ndakwira forongonya manje! What rubbish was this? had it gotten to this extent...? "Babie ko wagarirei kuno ? "Chiiko ichi nhai Dave? Him " What is it Me "Vanhu vako what are they doing here? He looked at me. His look spoke a thousand words "Vanhu vangu??? Me " Is there anything wrong in addressing them like that?" Him " Ko kungoti Mai Chirobo na Metabel?" Me "I had forgotten their names" Him " Hmm. Ok I had taken Mai va Metabel to some eye examinations so couldn't take them back I have a burning report yekubasa iri kudiwa by tomorrow. Me " I don't understand you anymore ini, I don't... you could have at least told me rather than just come home with visitors!! Him "Ok ipapo am sorry hako" I was pissed to say the least I told him that achabikira team yake and I wasn't prepared to do that. Infact ndakabva ndapinda mumagumbeze chaimo. The following day I woke up kunzwa smell ye food and Dave anga asimo mumagumbeze. I quickly freshened up kwakuenda ku kitchen and found him and Metabel preparing breakfast vachiseka varimo mu kitchen. They didn't see me so I just left moyo wangu wakaita kubaiwa chaiko. I met aunty Charity mu passage she greeted me but simba rekupindura ndakarishaya. Ndakadzokera mubedroom kwakugaya kuti what really was going on. I think Mose is right as much as I had heeded to Concy's advise but no this was just not it. I think there is something fishy going on. The way he was laughing and the way she was laughing spoke volumes and why was Metabel cooking in my kitchen. Ndakamboda kudzokera but the Holy Spirit akandidzora chokwadi I was hurt. I decided kutogeza ndibude hangu I couldn't take this nonsense. I did just that. Pakubuda I used my bedroom sliding door raibuda panze. I knew hangu kuti they saw me either ne mu kitchen or ne mu lounge. I drove zvekungoenda initially I wanted to go to church but hameno kwandakazoguma ndave. Ndakazoneta and parked my car I cried bitterly. Something wasn't right ndakatanga kugaya kuti sometime back Davie had mentioned kuti he would love to try and surrogate another child he was desiring for a baby boy. Hanzi dai Amanda ari mukomana dai ndisina pressure ku Farm I would do my work uku my investment ichiitawo. I had told him that Kundie was by chance and pakafamba Mwari cause surrogates ane ma after effect ekuti the mother vanogona kuita attachment ne mwana wavo. He then jokingly said he was just saying. So did that mean he was looking for a baby boy?? Yaa, that could be it. But Metabel?? Or probably her mum??? But kana, it was Metabel and flash backs of those laughing moments played in my mind. My heart was broken.... *Mr Fungo* Just that morning conversation with Metabel had made my day. I laughed the whole day when I recalled that conversation. Well pamwe pacho zvaiita kutonzwisa tsitsi chaidzo but I was happy I was making a turning point in her and her family's life. A sweet soul she was. I had to do school run kuseni and go to work. I had sent a driver to take back vana Metabel to the Farm. The whole day I had tried Priscilla's phone but yairamba ndakazongoisiya. I did the afternoon school run and brought Kundie ku office kwangu. Afterwork we went home together. "Daddy where is mum? Me " Kundie I think this is the hameno time I have responded to this question and please nothing has changed, okay?" Akamboti zii Her " Are you angry?" Ndakapererwa kwakufunga kuti ndapindura rough kumwana. I apologised and softened her up. We got home byt Priscilla was no where to be found. Aunt Charity vaitotiwo havana kudzoka. Was it that she was so angry cause of me coming with vana Metabel unannounced. I really wondered. I stayed up watching soccer. Ndakazonzwa munhu achisvika, checked the time, it was 10pm. And that affected me where was she coming from. Aunt Charity vanenge vanga va communicater naye cause she opened the door for her. She just passed through and never greeted me kwakunanga kubedroom. Ego yangu was bruised. Ndakamboti garei kwakutevera. Kuimba zvake andiona ndichipinda achiita up and down mubedroom imomo. Abata ichi abata icho hayaa. "So am I now a ghost?" She didn't respond. Ndakafamba and grabbed her under arm. "I am talking to you Priscilla "I wish to have my peace. Me " Not whilst I am talking to you. Problem yako ndeyei chaizvo "I said I want my peace. Akadaro achivhizhura ruoko rwake. "Ok fine have it but not in my house She stopped. I put both hands in my pocket. "Ok so it's gotten to this right. I never thought it will go this far. Let me tell you something Davison am not leaving my house and not for a poor stinking family you feel for. Nxaa nonsense. "Priscilla... Priscilla!!! Come back here!! Zvainzwika nani she banged the door and left the bedroom. End of Chapter 10
