He said at that time that he was in a meeting, that he would call her when he got out of the meeting.
After that, she left a voice message, and I don't know if we know exactly what it said, but Shoba's response was, oh snap, that's tricky.
We should go do the test together to get a second confirmation.
This can't be good.
He wanted to see if they could confirm the pregnancy since she had only taken an at-home test.
At this time, Zeho made it clear that she was not terminating the pregnancy.
Even if he wanted her to, she couldn't because it was against the law in South Africa to terminate a pregnancy after three months.
Shoba admitted that he was not happy at all with the pregnancy at first, but he said that he eventually accepted her pregnancy and decided that he had no choice but to support her through it.
As the weeks passed, Zeho and Shoba continued texting each other on WhatsApp, discussing various things surrounding the pregnancy.
In other text messages, Shoba told Zeho that he would support her no matter what and that they are going through this together.
But Zeho was not happy with his actions.
She said that he was never actually around to see what she was going through, that it was not just her responsibility to deal with the pregnancy.
It does take two to tango.
Their text messages were super up and down like that for months, with Zayho saying that Shoba isn't acting how he should and isn't supporting her, with Shoba assuring her that he was supporting her.
but his actions often showed otherwise.
She continued texting Shoba saying that she needed his support.
She felt alone in this and she felt like he didn't care about the baby at all.
But he continued to say that he is supporting her, that he is excited.
Eventually, they did set up some doctor's appointments, some of which Shoba did attend.
There was one appointment where she got an ultrasound of the baby.
