The swimming pool was providing the breeze sweeping up to the balcony pandakanzwa Taurai yelling achiti,"Babe im home." I smiled kwakusimuka ndichipinda mumba ndichiti,"Welcome home Shumba. Madzoka?" sucking his lips slowly. He blessed me with his warm and welcoming hug which I wanted to last forever ndokuti," I had missed you so much babe waswera bho?" I giggled feeling loved ndokuti,"Shumba kungoswera muripabasa ipapa ndipo pamungati missing you here? What about zvandirikuenda kuSA for God knows how long." He whispered hanzi,"I've decided kuti tiende tese babe. I've arranged kuti kushow kuende zvako Manuel. He's a good representative that one I trust him 100%." Ndakanzwa kufara when he said that. Ndini ndakazenge ndavakumu kisser all over his face, nose, cheeks, eyes nemalips akadzamara aseka hanzi,"Kufarira here uku nhai Mai Shumba?" "Ehe arg. Its because im scared I need you by my side for strength and your support as well" He lifted my chin and made me look into his eyes ndokuti,"Sha usatye hapana chinotyisa. Inga doctor Bvudzijena vakatiudza kuti its a process used by many and they succeed. So we should be celebrating Sam kuti finally we are going to have a baby in here." Akadaro achindipuruzira dumbu rangu. He preferred calling my name in short. Tainge tava ne three good years taroorana but mbereko yainge yaramba. At first we didn't think much of it taingoti maybe tirikurasika pa timing apa. So we decided to try pamazuva e ovulation kwacho but to no avail. That's when I started getting worried kuti what may be the matter. Tau didn't take it seriously aitonditi,"Babe let's wait for God's time. 3 years hadzina kuwanda idzo besides we're still young 26 nguva yekuita mwana izere. Iniwo at 34 tinomuita." But ini semunhukadzi zvakatanga kundidya. Until I suggested kuti tinoona chiremba . The first doctor suggested that i should eat healthy, have a lot of rest and even suggested certain foods to boost my fertility rates but ndakazviita for close to a year pasina chimuko. We then approached a different general practitioner thats when we got the heartbreaking news dzekuti I wasn't able to conceive naturally. So the general practitioner had suggested ma options akaita se surrogacy,IVF ne IUI. Surrogacy Tau akabva atoirambira mudenga. He then recommended us to go for IVF. Nekuti aive ati most couples who had similar problems opt for it and kazhinji vaibudirira. My husband was the leader we God's Disciples Ministries and as his wife I was always by his side supporting him samai Mufundisi. Mr Karakadzai, Tau's father was the founder of that church. Tau was Mr Karakadzai's only heir and the last born. Aive nemasisters 2 mahombe kwaari and he had made the church even big and well known. Anga agara ari munhu aiziikanwa nekuti he was into fashion, he was a fashion designer. Aitova nevanhu vahombe vane mari dzavo vaaidressa neku designira hembe. People always admired him vachiti mafundisi mazhinji they rely on mari yemuchurch vasingazode kushanda. He also had celebrities vamwe vaitouya kwaari especially South Africa. He had a brand name which was growing even bigger in the industry of fashion. We had met 4 years ago at a show of his art. By then ainge asati ava that well known. Inini I was a student kuMSU by then but I had so much love for fashion. So I made it a must never to miss any fashion show. I had accidentally bumped into him ndirikuseri kwetent answering my mom's call. Saka ndakangocheukira kumeso kwake. He was so charming munhu wacho. Pandakabondera paari he had pretended kutorwadziwa. Nekuti akabva atobata dumbu rake hanzi,"Miss, you have hurt me badly." Ndakaziva kuti handina kutombomudhuma zvekudaro. So I knew he was joking kwakubva ndatoseka saying,"You've also just hurt me more by addressing me as Miss ini ndiri Mrs." That instant akabva atorega dumbu rake ndokuseka hanzi,"haaa amana mhosva inobhadhara imwe here?" Ndipo paakazondikumbira manumbers. I didnt hesitate to give him the numbers nekuti raive dude zve. Zvekuti ndiye muridzi wefashion show iyoyo ndakazozviziva tavakutotaura paphone rimwe zuva. Musi wacho watakapanana manumbers I remember ndichinoudza Hither my best friend about him. Akaseka achitonditi,"manyura amai mwana. Minamato yako yadairwa handiti you've been praying for a handsome man here? Gibson handiti wakamuramba uchiti anomakisa here?" Gibson iyeye it wasn't a matter of kumakisa chete. Aive broke zvaitopa hasha. Not that I was after money bodo, but mukomana anoshaya data zvaro. Apa kusachinja mbatya. Pachikoro ainge avakutoziikanwa negreen t-shirt yainge yatongochenurukawo. Plus kusadawo kutora relationship yedu ku the next step. Yooh ndakamusiya ini. And years later I bumped into him he was still the same old Gibson anongofamba akarereka musoro kunge munhu aida kunzwirwa tsitsi nenyika yese. He was happy for me kuti I was married. Akatonditi,"isu zvichirikuramba wena, life yacho inenharo sha." Ndakadzorwa kuvapenyu naTau kissing my forehead achiti,"Babe ini ndinoziva kuti Mwari vanotipa chete mwana nenguva yake. God's timing is the best you know that right?" "Ndozviziva Shumba asi its hard for me kushayawo mwana. Besides mwana anowedzera kuti tiitewo chiremerera. Kids are blessings ndosaka zvichinzi be fruitful and multiply." "Yes babe handisi kuzviramba but I believe God knows what he has in store for us. We try to be good to people and try to be faithful in the eyes of our Lord. Ndosaka vachitiremekedza as their leaders kunyangwe tisina mwana." He tried making it seem simple. He gave me a peck on my cheek ndokuti,"Let me book our flight sha. Handidi kuzoita zvinhu zvekumhanya mhanya. Remember futi tomorrow we have a big day tirikufanira kuenda kunoita ma donations ku Highfields." KuHighfields ndiko kwaive nechurch yedu. Ndiko kwaive nemba yekwana Tau ikoko. Kwaigara mama vake nemuzukuru wavo mwana wesister yaTau. We always made sure taendesa zvinhu kuchurch to the less privileged whenever we got the chance. Tau aifarira donating ikoko hanzi,"handikanganwe ghetto rangu." "Ndakatozorangarira nyaya yekupa vanasikana ma sanitary pads. I think vachabatsirika nekuti vamwe they end up vave kushandisa machira. Jira manje riri risky kuti rinogona kunzvenga. Vamwe vanozoshaya kusvika pakuzoshandisa zvimadhende chero zvisiri appropriate. Which is not hygienic." Iye akadaira achitonanga kustudyroom kwake achiti,"That's so thoughful of you amai Mai Shumba. May God our Lord bless you kasingaperi nemamunoitira vana venyu." "Amen murume wangu," ndakadaro kwave kusara ndichisekerera hangu and walked to my bedroom. Ndakasvikogara pabed and kwave kutanga nda confirmer delivery yema pads acho. After that I went to the kitchen, auntie Rudo was cooking mazondo. My husband loved those, he would not mind kumadya everyday. " Auntie make sure kuti hamuise chero domasi chero spicy zvayo only mvura nemunyu. Baba vepano vanomada akangokwatiswa chete. " I said that opening the pot kwakuona kuti avapedo kuibva. The soup was already becoming thick. "Sadza don't worry I will cook handiti ka? Mungodira one more jug full of water anenge avabho mondideedza ndizobika." Rudo was new, Sarah wandaive ndakawana tichangoroorana ainge aenda kumaternity leave. Rudo was Sarah's young sister. "Ehoi sisi,"she responded ndikati,"urikuti joiner here kuchurch mangwana?" Akaseka seka hanzi,"aah kana ndirikuenda hangu kumba sisi varikuenda kumusha kunobatsirirwa ikoko. Saka varikuenda nemwana wangu. Manje ndirikuda kunomuona asati aendwa naye." "Its oky dear,I have a few things to give you uigire mwana wako." I walked to the pantry kwavakutsvaka tsvaka tuma goodies tunofarirwa nevana. Ndakawana machocolates and sweets nebiltong. Ndokuzomupa flour,rice,sugar and soap. Ndikamuti,"izvi give it to Sarah awanewo zvekuigira vana kumusha handiti?" Akatenda kunge achagwadama pasi. She was exactly like her sister vanhu vacho they were very nice. Ndakamboita a few things on my computer. I was just a volunteer Ku Chinyaradzo orphanage yaive ku Highfields ikoko so ndiro randingati raiva basa rangu nekuti nguva yangu zhinji ndiko kwayaiperera. Tau ainge andirambidza kushanda, so I had begged him to at least spend some time at Chinyaradzo Orphanage helping there. Ndakazodeedzerwa kubika naRudo. But firstly I went to my husband ndikawana aripa call talking to his sister. Pandakasvika akabva atoti,"tobatana vatete ndavingwa namakoti wenyu ndanga ndanyanya kurovera mustudyroom." Ndakasekerera ndokumuti,"huyai mugeze ndaakubika sadza." He squeezed his hands achisumuka ndokuti,"ndirikuuya madam" akasiya andirova magaro kwave kutiza achienda ndikasara ndichiseka ndikasheedzera kuti,"Ndichakubata Taurai. Benzi remunhu." Another thing, he was my best friend. Kuchurch he was their leader asi kumba taitova nerimwe drama and I didn't regret marrying him. He had a naughty side of him that I loved. He wasn't the type yaiva holy when it comes to romance. I went to cook tikapedzerana iye apedzawo kugeza. I dished tikadya discussing rwendo rweku SA. We went to bed early nekuti we had a busy day ahead. Stay tuned.
