My ‘Role Model’ Husband! The agony of a Mother, Wife, and Friend. Chapter 3
Amanda, Mandla’s mother, went to school and made a scene there; she called the teachers all sorts of names. As if that was not enough, she made a lot of allegations about Bongz and the teachers; she abused whoever she met at the school that day.
The students came out of their classrooms and watched Amanda throwing insults to teachers and to the twins; the students took videos of Amanda and shared them on social media.
By midday, Amanda was popular all over the town; people couldn’t believe that she can insult teachers in front of students like that. People in her neighborhood realized that though she is rich and elegant, she just lacks manners, her children were exactly like her, and they were born bullies!
Mandla was furious for being suspended for a month, he warned Bongz to watch his back. At home, Amanda told his son to go register in another school; Mandla refused, he said that he won’t leave the school where Bongz is. Days and weeks passed until Mandla’s suspension was over. He went back to school.
Mandla decided to make peace with Bongz, in fact, they became friends. Those who knew the two boys wondered how they managed to become friends, but knowing how kind Bongz is, he easily forgave Mandla. Mandla spent most of the weekends at Bongz’s house; they studied and played computer games together with other friends.
Mandla loved spending time with Bongz’s family, he apologized to Bongz’s family for the way he treated Bongz before. Babz pretended to accept Mandla’s apology and also treated him well when he was in her house but deep inside she never believed in Mandla’s apology. She believed that Mandla still hates her twin brother.
Bongz is a free-spirited young man who is kind and believes in love and forgiveness; he completely forgave Mandla and accepted his friendship with his whole heart. He enjoyed spending the weekend with Mandla and their other friends.
One weekend, while Mandla was busy telling the twins stories about his family, he mentioned the province he came from. He said that they moved into Bongz’s suburb and school because their father lives around.
Why does your father doesn’t stay with them? Babz asked Mandla.
My father is married to another woman and he has children with her, he abandoned us for his new family, Mandla answered.
Mandla said that they only moved here to be close to their father, though he doesn’t know that they are here. He said that he last saw his father ages ago and his mother told him never to contact him.
Mandla told the twins that his father does send money to them through their mother for their school fees and upkeep.
This triggered something in Babz’s brain but she ignored it, she convinced herself that she is overthinking issues.
From what Babz heard from rumors was that Mandla’s mother was divorced and decided to move away from her older province, yet Akhona said that her father lives abroad; now Mandla is saying that their father lives close by; it was confusing!
