A Love Nest In Limpopo (10)

Madifako hung up and only got to take a good look at her call log and was thrown off when she noticed that Maanda had called her almost 10 times after she ignored his call and had sent tons more messages on WhatsApp; but what freaked her out most was the picture Maanda sent of himself with Madifako sleeping in bed captioned, "You are all I need."

There was something sickening about that caption. Madifako felt a heavy cloud gather around her. For the first time she allowed herself to listen to the instinct that is informing her that Maanda is a bomb ready to explode and she needed to do all she can to put out that fire. She needed Motlatjo, a friend she had, ever since she could remember. Motlatjo always knew how to deal with a tyrant of a man. Madifako hurriedly dialled Motlatjo and "You have reached the voicemail service of 079 64..." and hung up.
Suddenly Trevor walked out of the bathroom stark naked in all shapes and sizes and Madifako salivated and yearned for that comfort that Trevor seems to manage especially at times like these when she felt conflicted, but yet again Maanda popped back up and killed that trail of thought. She also allowed herself to remember that she has not taken a pregnancy nor HIV test and that gave her cramps in her stomach. First thing in the morning she will need to go to Clicks Cycad and get herself checked out.
Trevor then said, "Baby, I know this is not the most comfortable of conversations to have but Mbali will be here over the weekend and this is one of the things that I feel we need to get over before we get into the lobola negotiations...I want to build our love nest on a clean slate. Please accompany me?!" Madifako's heavy cloud became dark at the thought of her inability to talk to Trevor about Maanda. He would not go ahead with the negotiations and there is no way that Madifako was missing yet another opportunity to walk down the isle.  
Madifako then agreed to go with Trevor and he plunged his manly self on top of her and passionately kissed her until all her resistance crumbled. As soon as Trevor rose to the occasion he quickly restrained himself, got dressed and rushed out to Ladanna to fetch his clothes because it was clear he was moving back in. As he drove out and she waved him goodbye at the door her cellphone notified her of an email and it was Maggy Mudau acknowledging the receipt of the quotation and securing her next appointment for tomorrow. She wished she could decline that appointment but couldn't...she needed to decipher who this woman is and what her mission was...
