"Hauna chawadya here kuka out kenyu aka Tasha?" "Anita, unless eating his lips counts, then no hapana Anita. This is serious ndambokuudza," "Chilla Tasha. We don't know anything yet we don't necessarily have to freak out," Anita akadaro ave kutryer kundiitisa calm down apa ini wacho ndanga ndakusagona kugadzikana. "Iripo pregnancy test yacho yawauchitaura?" She reached for her purse and simultaneously asked a question, "He didn't see you uchirutsa after you just had kissed him did he?" "Anita you are focusing on the wrong things veduwe," "Whaaat? Dakungozivawo so we can just combine the calculations of how much trouble we might be in," she justified herself. "No haana Anita. Inga ndakuti wani ndamutiza. He didn't see anything but still its bad. I left him without saying anything handitozivi kuti ndichamu textera kutii or what I'm gonna say was my explanation for ditching," ndakadaro ndakuto feeler like l was simply adding more worries on top of the ones l already had roaming my mind. "Just give me the thing wakati ndochiita sei zviya?" I hadn't used one before and l wasn't really in a mood to be reading lables when Anita had taken many of those tests. She opened the satchet, gave me the stick and told me to go pee on it. Ndakaenda and came back ndokubva taisa chisinhi patable ini ndokutanga kudemba hupenyu. "Anita ikaita 2 lines ndoita sei nhai Mwari?" "Usavhunduke zvisina basa kani unoiwanepi nhumbu. Nhumbu haibate as easy as you think. Ukuti dai iri easy kubata kwaizoita twuma new couples twuya twunoiendera kumasowe?" "We can't think based on a one sided fact Anita. Ehe wati handina but what if Anita? What if after 3 minutes dzacho idzodzo we discover kuti ndinayo nhumbu?" She sighed and that wasn't a good sign at all. "Inenge iri yaTerrence?" She then asked rhetorically. "What's that supposed to mean? You know he's the only person l ever slept with Anita obvious inenge iri ya Terrence. The same guy I'm trying to move on and away from," l said ndokubva ndapera strong zvekuti ndakabva ndagara pasi. "Apa that moment I'm actually starting to like someone. Then this happens? Nhai Mwari." Now l was freaking out but time ndichitarisa Anita wacho aitoratidzawo kupererwa and only hoping for one red line. "3 minutes dzakukwana idzi you don't have to worry about it okay? Maybe hapatorina nyaya we are just freaking out for no reason," she said ndokuenda kutable kune pregnancy stick and she starred it for a few seconds and l was like, "Its not even 3 minutes yet you should wait one more minute," She was like, "No need," picked up the stick and came with it kwandandiri with a pale face. Of course hana yakabva yatorova especially with her face looking like that. "What? Why are you lifting it hachifane kureader ma results acho chakagara pasi here or something?" I asked and she didn't reply she handed me the thingy ndiye dhumha dhumwa nema lines 2 with the other one which seemed to keep darkening by every second that went by. I freaked out and instantly rushed to the bathroom ndokutanga kurutsa again and as l then went to the sink to wash off, l looked myself in the mirror and started crying. Unenge uchiri mu denial zvekuti imwe pfungwa inobva yati maybe the test stick was faulty. The more l thought about it with my mind trying to actually take a grip around the situation, l started feeling even more freaked ndikazoona ndagara pasi mubathroom imomo pasi pamatiles chaipo Anita ndokubva ateverawo. Ndichingomuona misodzi ikabva yaita manyemwe. "Itori nhumbu kaiyi Anita? Ndichaita sei?" Ndakadaro ndaakuchema and she sat with me and hugged me. "Its okay we will fix this baby," she said and terrified me even more. "How Anita? How? How is this gonna be okay?" Ndini uyo ndakuto wedzera and she hugged me tighter. "Trust me we can fix this. Okay?" Almost sounded like she was suggesting something else there so l had to make sure. "Wait, watchu mean by we can fix it. You mean kuibvisa?" "I don't have a say in this. All I'm saying is if you really can't afford to be pregnant right now, of course that's one of the limited choices to go. Just a few pills, and in a period of only 1 week it will be like none of this ever happened. We don't tell anyone not even your mom or iye Terrence wacho." "You kidding me?" I freaked out. Partly cause it was scary but the part where it would all go away just like a flu like that, sure sounded like a short cut out of the mess. "Whoa whoa, l didn't say bvisa ini. I'm tabling all the options. Whatever you do, I'll be in support. So think about it." Akadaro and she patted me on my shoulder and left. The scary part was that ndakatanga kuona the advantages of doing it. *TERRY* Following morning was a new normal work day. Like always. Unenge uine a lil hangover and a lot of fatigue. Ndakasvika nekudeedzwa kuoffice naMrs Phiri. "Mamuka sei maam?" "Terrence wakauya kunoku kuVictoria Falls kuzoitei?" "To work of course. Is everything okay?" Ndakadaro ndakutoshaya point yavo. "Saka nezuro drama ramakandiitira neshamwari yako nderei? Palunch hamuna kunzwa ndichitaura nyaya yekuti we are short stuffed l might need over time people?" She intimidated me and ndoo zvavanga vatongori. Vaityiwa nebenzi rese. "Well l did hear that but l thought makazovawana considering_" "Considering what? You are the only over paid person around here considering you are an intern and here you are running away from work saka ini ndopinda busy rekutaura nababa vane 50 years vane mhuri kuti vaite over time because iwewe neshamwari yako makatiza nezuro?" She was quite pissed off and ndakazviona the way she was looking at me paibva paita kunge pada kutodzipwa munhu. "Kutiza?" Ndini uyo neface isiri kutomboziva nyaya yavaitaura. "Usanyepere kuzungaira you do realise we have cameras around the premises right? Ari sa Ryan ndakatomu deedza akaita seasina kundinzwa," she said and boom l almost ran out of excuses. "Haaa mukuona chiika. The thing is hatina kutiza as such tatingori in a hurry pane kwakune like_" "I don't wanna hear it. You are doing over time the whole of next week muchishanda full day. Iwe neshamwari yako. Kana muine complain about that mogara mataura here and now. Handina nguva yeku dealer ne ndururani ini," "Haisi nyaya. Toita over time yacho. I'll fill him in," ndakadaro ko tatine mamwe maplans eyi next week racho. There was a knock on the door. "Come on," she said ndokubva mapinda Sam and as soon as our eyes met she froze with a frown and my face was clearly asking questions too. I simply cleared my throat to say something but then didn't say anything. There was an awkward silence for about 2 seconds then we simply acted like we didn't know each other. "You can go now Terry," she dismissed me and as l made my way out l over heard her going, "Mom ndokumbirawo makeys," My mind instantly went, 'Mom?' Ndakazosara kufamba ndakuenda pfungwa dzatanga kujoinidza all the terrible things l had said about her mom when we were flirting. Damn. Ndakasangana naRyan achitomhanyawo kwandiri achiratidza kutsva. "Baba, baba gadzirisai bhachi njuzu yenyu ndaiwona ichipinda manje manje apa ne bum short ne guvhu out. Fanta ndati ngwara ngwara usapuse," akadaro achi gadzirisa gadzirisa bhachi rangu resuit. "Ndamuona kudhara wangu. On a more alarming issue, she might be mwana waPhiri," ndakadaro and he froze. "Huh? Wazvinzwepi izvozvo?" "Ndamunzwa achiti mom kuna Phiri pandandiri muoffice make_" "Uchandinetsawo iwewe muface iwewe. Wauchitsvagei muoffice maPhiri makuseni ano? Watanga kah? Ukati rega unyatso dzokorodza the same thing," akadaro akakwidza tsiye 1 ndikapedzisira ndaseka. "Unopenga here iwe ndandichito popoterwa nenyaya yekutiza kwatakaita nezuro." "On a more serious note, nezuro wakapfeka hako bepa hant?" "Zvagara pane pandichapinda mupostori munhu wandango sangana naye here baba," "Hautembeke wakapinda mupostori mai nemwana wani. Anyways that's not the point. Whatever you do usapinde mupostori kamwana kaye. Kane tatoo. Wariona?" "Heee?" "Yap, unofa mufaname mwana wako anoda kuchengetwa uko. I mean matwins ako n stuff," akadaro ndokubva abaya akaisa maoko muhomwe achiridza kamuridzo. Ryan was always crazy. Ndakazobaya kunoita zvandaifana kuita on a normal daily routine basis. Later that day l got a WhatsApp message, [Hi] from Tasha.. That was kinda surprising considering she had withstood not chatting for quite long. I replied a basic, [Hi how are you.] and after that she didn't text back. Ndakangoti mheno ikoko. Pfungwa dzangu was still caught up on this sudden turn of events that had happened nekamwana kainzi Sam kaye. Ndakazo sangana nako kave kubuda ndichitobvawo kulaundry statistics. "This is quite an interesting turn of events," she started achindiona. "Trust me. I'm surprised too," ndakadaro extending a hand, "Uricy chimoko." "Im okay. So this is where you work?" "Yap, that was your mom?" "Yap, aaaand do l need to ask if she was the one we were referring to last night while_" "Nop, l don't know what you are talking about," ndakadaro ndobva aseka. "Of cause you do. You are so getting fired mister," she said almost sounding like was joking but with a significant hint of meaning it futi. Quite confusing. "Haha you wouldn't tell her. Would you?" "Why wouldn't l?" "Maybe cause I'm asking nicely n stuff," "That's not gonna be enough," "How about l take you out sometime?" "Well I'm tempted to deny that_" she said with one cunning smile. "But_" ndakabva ndadaro and she was like, "But l then remembered kuti makatambira recently kaimi. Kudya mari dzema interns can't be that boring." Ndakabva ndaseka. She was so daring and kinda challenging. However meeting her in this daylight version was kinda different. Almost like you wouldn't believe me if l told you l had her wrapped around my finger the previous evening. "Your number would really assist in your scheme of yours yekudya mari yema interns." I said handing her my phone and she typed in her digits. After that she walked away as l texted her, [Save my tag nezvimoyo moyo n stuff.] Akabva acheuka ndokuseka. She texted back, [You look better wearing a suit than you do wearing a condom.] I ended up ndakuseka ndega as she got into her car and drove off. She really was a piece of work. But somehow l was intrigued. *TASHA* Handina kuenda kulecture that day. I was still in my stage of figuring it out but also, imwe pfungwa yaka remember kuti it had been a while since the last time l had talked to the alleged father. It took a lot of guts to just text a hi and even when he replied rather instantly l kinda got stuck and bailed. Anita akazouya kubva kulecture rekupedzisira aine pizza ne juice. "How are you mwana wedu," she said achindi fugura gumbezi. Ndandisina kumbobuda mugumbezi since morning. "Chimbondisiyai veduwee dakurara ini. Vana vanoda kukura ava," ndakadaro being silly and she pulled the blanket off me. "Kunogeza izvezvi mainini. Or else ndiri kudeedza Jordan futi." Me running away from him and then ghosting him was something else but kuzosvikirwa ndiri scruffy was just kinda off the table. Ndakazongo geza and she then brought up the topic that had been bothering me the whole day. "So mazofunga here kuita mai vema triplets or tikupfuudza mangwana moto muka mave kumwedzi?" She said achiisa these huge odd looking cyto pills on the table. "What are those?" "Just slide 2 down there, wonwa 1 iri then boom all done wakuto pfeka pad then you_" "Whoa whoa l haven't made the decision yet veduwee." "I know know. I just had to keep the options close. No rush. Even na cleansing pills acho ndinawo. Everything usazvitye," she said there l ended up sighing. "Anita mana," ndakadaro ndakutoita frustrations nenyaya yacho. Honestly l was loosing it. There was a knock padoor and as l frowned wondering who that could be l looked at face yeumwe wangu wanike she's looking all funny avoiding eye contact. "Anita who's that?" I whispered and she was like, "Mhaa?" Achinyepera kushama n'ai. "Anita what did you do?" I asked again and she was like, "Nothing. He just told me he might drop by and l told him uriko urikurwara. That's all." Clearly kutondi forcer kugeza she knew he was coming. Ndakazoenda kudoor cause l didn't want him kuti apinde futi. He was in a suit and l was still kinda embarrassed. "Hi?" "Sorry. I heard you ain't feeling well. I was coming from a meeting and decided to pass through and check up on you," he said ndokundi tambidza a paper bag with fruits and, some meds then period pain killers along side a TENS unit. l frowned holding them and he was like, "I heard they help with zvauri kunzwa." Obviously Anita meno zvaanga ataura. I ended up having to play along. "Thank you," ndakadaro and there was a silence for second and l continued, "About yesterday l_" "Don't worry about it. Anita told me everything. I understand. Girl stuff and all," he said and ini muridzi wenyaya kwakutoita confusion necuriosity zvese. Ndakazongopa ka nervous laugh and then 2 other guys in suits came to fetch him, "Duty calls. I'll call you okay?" He said ndokubva aenda. I'm there thinking, he could be mine. He seems nice. And looks like hes caring. But then, not if l was pregnant. And the solution was lying in my bedroom dorm. No need to go crawling back to Terrence. Just one get away ticket! *END OF CHAPTER 2* JOIN COMMENTS GROUP FOR COMMENTS. @Lisstty
