Rob & Di

PART 12

At the Moonlight Resort

….the love beds slept well into the day.

“Why should we wake up though love?” Rob protested pulling the duvet tighter around him, “I don’t have anything planned for the day, I hope you have none too.”

“Nna ke na le birthday hangover babe, waking up is not part of my plan, I just want to eat, shower and get back to bed,” Di replied clearly with no intention to open her eyes.
“That’s my girl!” Rob pulled her over for a cuddle. Having whole day to themselves sounded just right.

Hunger had started kneading their tummies when Rob decided to move out of bed. He ordered room service.
“Sleepy head, wake up, lets go shower mothowame before food comes, re je re le ‘so fresh and so clean clean’,” turning that into a melody making his funny dance.
Di replied still sleepy,go raya gore wa go nthapisa, nna ke lapile Rob and I don’t want to shower I just need to soak myself in a bathtub.”
“I have no problem with bathing you or soaking with you in a bathtub,” he responded and burst into a song 🎵anywhere you go baby-I go follo- anywhere you go baby- I go follo follo follo 🎵,He continued with his funny dances despite Di not really paying much attention.
He sat beside her and whisked the cover off her, “bathing you ke luxury love, do you know how beautiful my Queen is tota? birthday suit or not I just savour every moment.”
“Hahahaha, you are still crazy,” Di laughed sitting up on the bed.

They were done bathing just before their order arrived. They had their brunch while chatting.
Rob: I have something I want to show you and hand over. I am crossing fingers you accept it babe. Nka itumela gore! I would announce it to the whole world.
Di: I have had plenty suprises already bathong and I had the best one, what could beat seeing Rob on bended knee asking me to marry him?I think that was the ultimate surprise. Magical! ( she stared at her ring and smiled)
Rob: I was taking the biggest chance of my life right there. Hehehe! Nne ke tshogile gore! I was ready to collapse on that floor.
Di: Aaaaaaw, babe! You know what, I respect you more for taking that chance, you restored our relationship. I missed you so bad. I missed your love, your presence, everything.
Rob: ke eng o ne o sa letse mme motho wame?
Di: I did call. Nelly didn’t tell you about a silent caller?
Rob: Hahahaha! Was that you?!
Di: it was me babe. I almost collapsed hearing a woman’s voice on the other side.I just thought jooo! O ile Rob!
Rob: Hahahahaha! Coward!
Di: Tswa mo go nna! You were dying inside too.
Rob: I was. And I am happy you accepted my proposal. By the way, about your request babe, I am 100% in.
Di: Which one?
Rob: The one you whispered to me when I thought you were about to refuse my proposal. Waitse kana Di, my knees were shaking
Di: Hahaha! I am sorry love, ga ke a bona. Yes, I think it’s important that we do couple counselling mothowame , reinforce our healing, reinforce our relationship, understand each other more and completely love without opening old wounds.
Rob; Absolutely, your maturity still amazes, people don’t know.
Di smiled lovingly at him. Her soon to be husband, “New beginnings my love, new beginnings, cheers to that.”
They clinked their drink glasses, it was more than just ordinary toast. It was really symbolic of their beginning.

Rob: Talking about new beginnings tomorrow babe re a tswa to show you that thing.
Di: I am anxious.. or maybe you just make tomorrow today.
Rob: Hahaha! Don’t push it babe, today I am not getting out of here. Ke tiisa lapa lame mma.
Di laughed blushing. She did enjoy the attention. She had missed him.
Di: Ke a go tswa ha ke tagilwe ke Lerato.
Rob: No doubt, let me intoxicate you. I am leaving you no room to change your mind
Di: As if I ll change my mind. Just being here with you is a dream I don’t wanna wake up from.
He leaned across the small table and kissed her, “I love you so much.”
“ I love you so so much,” Di responded back smiling.
Life can be bliss for sure.

The rest of their day was beautiful. One on one attention. Catching up about this and that. Games and fun. Discussions of how they move forward from here. The future of Mr & Mrs Rob Mothibi. They retired early to bed that night. Tomorrow was another day.

They had breakfast at the dining hall he next morning and from there left in Rob’s car.
Di: where are we going?
Rob: Akere ke buile maabane, it’s a bit far though.
Di: babe you are still on with that?
Rob: I meant what I said love
Di: can you at least give me a hint?
Rob: nope!
Di rolled her eyes and gave up.

A few minutes later. They pulled into a suburb and Rob packed by a screen wall of a place unknown to her.
Di: Jaanong o nkisa ko ga mang?
Rob: Just come along you ll see.

Rob pressed the remote and the gate opened.
The yard landscaping was breathtaking, green everywhere except on the walkways and driveway which were paved. The walkways lined with Roses and other various colored flowers.
By the yard corner there was a fountain, a rugged black stone wall fountain, it’s water pouring into a heart shaped small pond made with white stones . Red roses around it. Such a scene.
At the backyard there was a gazebo, looked more like a mini getaway spot- Her mind whispered ‘me time moments’, so inviting.
“Wow!” This place is beautiful babe, is this your work?” Di asked astounded.
“You know me babe!” Rob bragged.
“wow! ha gone you outdid yourself mogatsaka, the owner is going to definitely love it.”
Rob: Do you love it?
Di: how can you ask that? I love it! I am so jealous, o ka re this person copied my dream yard.
Rob: Lets get inside the house
Di: Ebile o na le dikey tsa ntlo?
Rob: I kept my tools inside.
Di: well, why not? I may benchmark

Rob unlocked the big mahogany front door. They got in as Rob pushed the pivot door. Di held her hand to her mouth in suprise, it was such a big space! The living room! She could picture how she would furnish and decorate it, they checked the kitchen, the en-suite and other two bedrooms. At the end of the tour she was speechless , for her that was top class, she had perfect house accesories in mind for each room. A kind of house she would own.
Di: Wow!Ija! pelo yame e toga e wela hatshe, let’s go rra.
Rob: tshwara dikey o lotlele

Di took the keys, they exited the house and she locked.
Di: Tsaya. (giving Rob the keys)
Rob: Those are yours
Di: What do you mean?
Rob: They are your keys
Di: Why should they be my keys?
Rob: This is what I wanted to show you. This is our house, it belongs to us
Di: Rob lesa go tshameka. I don’t understand.
Rob: This is Di & Rob’s new home
she leaned against the door covering her face, defeated.
Rob: This is where we are going to create new memories babe. it’s upon you to turn the house into whatever you want. I know you love interior design stuff, have fun. And when you are ready to move in, you tell me ke te ke rwale dibox.
Di: Hehehe! Waitse I am finally lost for words, tsho-tsho! . How do you think of such things though Rob?
Rob: I just know my woman, that’s all
Di: I love you. I don’t know how to thank you.
Rob: You are loved by me.
She stretched out her arms and clung to him “you are my home for real”. He reached over and hugged her, “you are my home, I don’t see myself anywhere else”. The stood like that letting their love sink in and walked to the car holding hands. Di turned around to look at the place again.
It has been such a Journey getting here she doesn’t regret fighting to heal,learning to forgive, embracing peace and choosing love.

The end.
