just look at this... LOL
Anyway, moving on… S’khalo comes into their lives and my oh my he has a hott stepmom. Now, for a child his age who had always been close to his mom with his father obviously absent, he, as could be believed, immediately feels some form of affection towards the stepmother and that fondness isn’t anything innocent.
What is happening at this point is that the boy is totally love-struck, the mother is absolutely smitten and the games have begun. It’s at a level where the mother just isn’t attracted to the father anymore. When she sleeps she imagines the boy in bed and then gets that anti-climax smile when she wakes to find the father’s face staring at her. LOL
In this week’s episodes, she, the mother, decided in the evening, nje, skierlik, that she has to go the tavern as she needed to have a talk with the boy. Well, that’s the reason that she gave the father.
“
You and S’khalo do not get along, babe, and I know it upsets you. So I think I need to talk to him”
“
Oh, my love you are so sweet”
Shem.
Off she goes and meets the boy at the tavern. The only thing that came out of that ‘talk’ was a passionate kiss. The chemistry between these two is inconceivable. I also think what makes it even so incredible is that they know they are not supposed to be doing what they are doing… So it’s that thought that someone might just see them and the thing will blow in their faces that makes the blood rush even more. It’s those situations when you know you should be in control, but you can’t control yourself and whatever is happening feels like it’s totally beyond your control.
The sad part about these situations is that,
There are other people involved.
People like King and S’khalo’s beautiful girlfriend, Purity. They haven't done anything bona, shem. In their heads, they are just in beautiful relationships only thing is they are actually just being used.
In this week’s episodes, poor King has invited S’khalo and the girlfriend for lunch.
“
Baby, we are braai’ing on Sunday. With Skhalo and Purity”. King announces.
“
But babe, we never spend time together, just alone.” Says Nina.
Then King goes, “
okay, I’ll call him and cancel”
“It’s okay babe, I’ll talk to him. I know what this would mean to you."
Come Sunday, usisi has prepared lunch and the husband walks into the kitchen. He’s all excited of course, akere he believes the food is for the two of them… shem.
He walks up to her just when she’s busy day-dreaming about the forbidden fruit who is S’khalo. Obviously the dreams are telling of a hot, fresh young boy.. and what comes in reality then is a huskier, manly, fat voice which happens to be that of her husband. She cringes as she hits an anti-climax.
“The food smells nice, my baby. It means it’s a special meal ”
“
We do special things for special people, my love”
Just as King reaches for a kiss, there’s a knock at the door. It’s the special Skhalo, with the beautiful girlfriend.
FAST-FORWARD:
After lunch the beautiful girlfriend is making conversation with the father outside and S’khalo still has the nerve to come and kiss his father’s bride in his father’s house. Tjo! But like I said, when you are in that situation,
You just feel like you have to do this, and you have to do it now.
The passion pushes you and by the time you come to your senses you might already be caught. And there’s nothing as bad as being caught red-handed and you find that after being caught and the thing being in the open, the passion kind of dies away, in a way.
That’s coz like I said, the nicest thing about these relationships seems to be that knowledge that what you are doing shouldn’t be done or that you are taking a risk.
It’s also because in most cases, the person that you are feeling so overly attracted to and that moves your blood like so, isn’t always what you would want in a partner. Look at S’khalo… it’s not like he has anything to offer Nina other than the chemistry of course which is obviously missing from Nina’s marriage. But if Nina had to make a choice for something sustainable, she obviously wouldn’t go for the younger blood.
Another angle of this is that,
The real relationships end up suffering because of this passion of nothingness. This is what Purity said: “
I’m not sure about S’khalo, hey. One moment he makes me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, and the next it’s like he is miles away.
To that Nina smiles, of course. She knows exactly where ‘miles away’ is at. Not fair at all.
Check this.. the other day S’khalo left everyone at the tavern and went to spend time with his stepmom. When the mother asked him why he wasn’t with other guys he replied;
“
Everyone is talking about soccer. I just wanted to be with someone whom, like me, doesn’t really care about that game”
You should’ve seen how Nina smiled. That just made me think… soccer is King’s world – He is so passionate about it I don’t understand how he came to marry someone who doesn’t have any idea what a corner kick is, and who is just frankly not interested.
That brings me to what I want to say that one of the reasons that would sometimes lead to such things happening in relationships, married or not, is when you don’t share your partner’s passions. When whatever he is about or what he loves doesn’t move you in any way. That is why you would come to the point of finding common ground with someone else who looks down on that passion.
Not that we should only fall in love with people who drink like we also drink, but you cant exactly get married to a soccer coach and yet think soccer is a waste of time. It’s like marrying a pastor and still asking who Bible is. Seriously.
So yha… S’khalo kisses his stepmom under his dad’s roof.. the mother is busy going.. “
no.not here..” while leaning forward anyway. Coz clearly with the passion that strong you cant exactly stop yourself now, can you?
So, the point that I’m coming with today is..
Have you ever found yourself in such a relationship? Well, maybe not exactly with your mother. Perhaps your cousin or your best friend’s partner or your mother’s toyboy, or your colleague… or the brother who prays a lot a church… Anyone that you both knew you shouldn’t be touching and playing naked games with?
Is it ever worth it? What possibly drives us into that in the first place?
And lastly, is sex and sex-appeal really just overrated??
I once overheard someone saying good partners don't always come in the packages that we are expecting. So sometimes that person that makes your toes curl might not be it. Do you think that could be true? Or just simply, are the butterflies enough?
Alright, lemme stop now. Talk to me, bloggers...
