As he carried Madifako into the house he undressed her and got her into her pyjamas and tucked her in bed; and as he was about to leave, Madifako called out to Trevor and asked him to come sleep next to her and just hold her...Trevor obliged.
When morning broke, Madifako awoke in confusion yet again feeling herself in a man's arms in her bed...It was after a recollection of last night that she remembered that Trevor picked her up from Cubana and probably stayed overnight with her. As she turned over to face Trevor he was wide awake and gave her a smile and said, "Good morning angel."
"Good morning Trev..." AND as if nothing had happened between them they embraced and held onto each other as though they were the last people remaining in the world for one another.
After some time Trevor jumped out of bed and returned to the bedroom with a tray carrying a plate of an omelette, a slice of bread coupled with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice; finished with a long stemmed red rose which has always been Trevor's way of reminding Madifako that he loves her very much. He hadn't served her breakfast in bed in a very long time and this time it literally melted Madifako's heart and she fell instantaneously back in love with Trevor all over again.
"Madifako, we need to talk"
"Yes we do..."
"Look, I don't know what you have been getting up to this past week and I don't care but all I know is that I have wronged the one woman who means the world to me and I am very afraid of losing her." Trevor was saying this with his voice shaky and eyes glistening with tears and all Madifako could do was replay the moment she had with Maanda Mudau and was trying very hard not to expose the guilt that was gripping her yet again. Trevor continued, "Madifako, I know the last time we spoke you wanted to know when I was going to marry you and it had to take Mbali telling me that she is pregnant that I realised that I don't want to be with anyone but you. You have been nothing but a good woman to me and you have been so honest with me that I cannot afford to lose that. So having said that Madifako, it would be an honour to have you agree to be my wife and allow me to love you for as long as I breathe?!"
"Trevor, you are expecting a child with someone else; how can...?"
"Shhh, I know. I am prepared to take responsibility of my actions but I am not prepared to lose you. I know this has hurt you but I will make it a point to heal that pain for the rest of my life as my wife...please say yes and let's do this right...as husband and wife."
"YES TREVOR!"
Mr Trevor Vulani Mkhabela was elated and suddenly looked so mature and ready to be the head of Madifako's house. He stood up chest out and pranced around the bedroom showing Madifako how he is now going to be talking with his left hand in everyone's face because of the ring he will be donning as a married man and all Madifako could do was laugh and laugh and laugh some more. Trevor then said, "Baby, I am going to speak to my uncle and get this ball rolling today! I no longer have time to waste time. Actually, I have a suggestion...can we park the idea of making love until this process is done; create a semi-virgin out of you?" Madifako welcomed that suggestion with open arms as she needed to rid herself of Maanda Mudau's demons.
