I really don’t care wether we
move here or just find
temporary accommodation , all
I want is what I’m here for
Vuyo : at least….
He nods
He chuckles
Me : no it’s fine
Me : I do understand , not
everyone would be comfortable
with such a life . But I am , it’s
mine and I’ve lived it . I
wouldn’t mind living it again
My grandmother worked in
farms her whole life , until old
age caught up with her
And I did
I laugh
Me : okay fine
I change the dress I’m wearing ,
into skinny jeans and a t-shirt
She laughs
We sit down
Me : don’t worry , I’ll pay . Just
buy whatever you want
Him : all of it ?

meal

guy
Really ?

I firmly believe so
My phone rings , and it’s a
number I do not recognise

Wow !
So Amo was busy laughing with
this guy yesterday , only giving
him my number

*Onthatile*
Surely this is not a big deal right
?
Me : Koko
I smile
I haven’t spoken to her since
yesterday , and we didn’t talk
about the money
No wonder my grandmother
said it was a lot of money
Me : it’s okay , I just have a
question about the money
Koko : okay
Me : bye , I love you
I ignore her
Amo : Thati !
Me : do you really think I’ll go
anywhere with you , like ever
again after what you did ?
She sighs
She sighs

the zip . I take my already
erected dick out
We laugh

He deep chuckles
He smiles
Me : but why ?
He laughs
She sighs
I chuckle
Mom : can you believe he’s
gone back , to tracing that
woman he claims to have left
carrying his daughter ? A
fucking maid , that I picked up
from the streets
He smiles
Mthunzi : I can’t
Me : why not ?
He chuckles
Me : but it happened
He sighs
Me : I’m taking these things
inside , hopefully when I come
back you’ll be ready to walk in
Me : Koko
The door is slightly opened , I
walk in and she’s already on her
feet
Koko : I thought……
She smiles
Me : what ?
Koko : nothing
Me : Koko !
Must she ?
Me : he won’t stay
Koko : last time he was here , he
asked for seconds
Me : that’s embarrassing
He smiles
Me : wow
Mthunzi : let me be
He gets out of the car , and we
walk back inside the house
together
.
.
.
.
*Mthunzi*
Spending those few minutes ,
with her grandmother was
actually amazing
She laughs
Ontha : dodge her for what ?
Ontha : that’s…..wow !
Me : go in the bedroom , or
behind the hut or something
Me : yes
Ontha : you’re being a big baby
right now
Me : your baby
We both laugh
She laughs
I just couldn’t
A lot was just going on in my
mind
We laugh
*Mthunzi*
He walks in , I don’t even bother
looking at him
I’ve been ignoring his calls , and
now he’s here
He sighs
He laughs
Vuyo : don’t call her that , she’s
just making ends meet . College
students are poor
He laughs
Vuyo : why ?
Me : just ….
Me : I’m fine
Me : you called ?
Me : what…..what kind of
information ?

Vuyo : no worries
He gives me the keys
Me : no , I walked here
Me : where I stay
Me : gentlemen

so roughly I let out a scream of
pain slightly
Me : that’s….. you’re hurting me
Me : please…..please help me , I
think my arm…..is broken please
Me : MaBiyela
She giggles
Me : my heart is fulfilled , I
mean I could get used to always
being welcomed home by you
She smiles

I smile
We’re so there
Me : I love you
Me : it’s late
He laughs
Me : okay
Me : tuck me in
He chuckles
Me : okay
Mthunzi : I’m 27
He smiles
I slightly nod
I guess I understand what he’s
saying , but it scares me
Me : thank you
I place my hand on his cheek ,
pecking his lips
I smile
He chuckles
Mthunzi : no kidding ?
I nod
Ontha : Amo
She sounds so bored
Me : I’m…I’m in hospital

I chuckle
Me : speak to Lumka , he said
he’s done with the letter . I
ordered a ring today , should
arrive in a few days . I’m hoping

*Onthatile*
I walk in , my heart is just
feeling heavy in a way
Me : Baby
Me : yes
He chuckles
Mthunzi : tell me when visiting
hours are over , so I can come
get you
Me : okay
I sigh
Me : you know I’m like this
because of that married man
you’re busy running after
She looks at me
Me : wha…..

.
.
.
.
*Mthunzi*
Me : your mind is not here
Me : MaBiyela
Me : look at me
She nods
He sighs
Lefa : I’m……

He keeps quite
Lefa : uhm…..
Me : it’s…. nothing
Ontha : that didn’t sound like
nothing
Me : well
Me : wow !
Me : I’m listening
He sighs
He sighs
I chuckle
Me : you think he’s just going to
tell you why he’s following her
around ?
Lefa : alright
I look at him
Vuyo : uh-uh
I sit down
Vuyo : doesn’t make sense ,
why would a PI be after her ?
Me : he doesn’t know me ,
anything is possible
Vuyo : should I pay him a visit ?
Me : no
Vuyo : no ?
Vuyo : wait…..
Me : let me be
He sighs
Me : what ?
Me : mom !
He sighs
Me : guys really ?

somewhat

I smile
He chuckles
Koko : Onthatile !
Me : Koko is calling me

She giggles shying away
Me : come on !
Me : what ?
Ontha : like
She shrugs
Me : Nana (baby)
Me : no
I shake my head
She smiles
Me : leave it at that
She laughs
Ontha : I’ll be telling Koko to use
it again , thinking it’s cents
I chuckle
I frown
Me : don’t traumatize me like
that , I almost lost myself when
you left me just because I
pretended to be poor
Me : I love you
She giggles
Ontha : yeah
She smiles
Me : this is an honour for me , I
don’t think twice when it comes
to you
I chuckle
She laughs
Me : I know you’re lazy , I don’t
want you suddenly overworking
yourself because you were told
as a wife you cannot be lazy . I
don’t mine your laziness , I
know you love sleeping . Don’t
suddenly wake up at 06:00 , we
won’t get along very well
I can’t keep up
He smiles
Mthunzi : let’s go
Me : I….I’ll go
Me : uhm….no
I laugh
He laughs
Me : let me go
He keeps on laughing
Me : bye
Ontha : home
I sigh annoyed
Me : well , what’s it for ? You
didn’t tell me anything , and I
had to find out from your
WhatsApp status that you’re
getting married
Me : what….why ?
Ontha : excuse me ?
Me : the money he sent you ,
and the date expenses that you
wasted
She laughs
Me : me ? Did he give it to me ?
He looks at me
Me : don’t make me ask again
Him : Kevin
He looks around
Me : tell me the truth , and walk
out that door . Or lie , and die
it’s as simple as that
Me : who’s that ?
Kevin : I’m not at liberty to
discuss my client , but I found
out the girl I’ve been following
is his daughter . I swear I wasn’t
going to hurt her , I was just
doing my job
Me : yes
Talking to myself
Me : don’t
Me :
pl….ease….come…..hurry….I’m…
..I’m……
It’ll show
It’ll be all on me
Me : what …..baby ?
He pats my shoulder
I get up
Me : I….messed up , I messed
up big up
I wipe my tears , but they keep
falling
Me : I can’t
Vuyo : come on ! The stress is
not good for her , her high
blood pressure is very high
He sighs
He nods slowly
Vuyo : what…..who ?
Me : Paul !
Vuyo : what ?
I nod slowly
Me : he left
I look at him
Me : uhm…..uh…..
Me : mama (mom)
I feel so drained
Me : you….lost weight
Me : yeah
He’s right
Vuyo : it’s….
I smile
Me : I’m okay
Me : what ?
Mthunzi : I….
He sighs
I look down
Me : I’m….sorry
Mom : exactly what are you
sorry for ? Are we maybe now
suddenly good enough for you ?
Me : I have no excuse
Me : I….
What do I say ?
What do I tell her ? When I’m
running away from the fact that
I got my friend killed ?
*Onthatile*
Me : you look handsome now
He chuckles
Me : I need to get better , so I
can start cooking for you . I
don’t like that you lost weight
Me : it was Paul
Me : he came by , after an
altercation with Amo and she
left . He said she’s the one who
called him there , and he
demanded his money that he
sent me . Even that he spent on
that date , the night I called you
. He said a lot of things , and
that I played him . Because I’m
married , and I didn’t tell him
that . I….I wasn’t interested . So
I was quite , I said nothing . And
that angered him , worse I took
my bag and turned my back on
him . He called me out when I
got to the door , and that’s
when he shot me
I take a deep breath
He sighs
I nod
I sit down
Vuyo smiles
Lumka : we got your back , no
matter what
I nod
Me : better
I nod
I nod
Me : Pizza
He smiles
Me : don’t bore me
We laugh
Mthunzi : two weeks not eating
Pizza must have felt like a
lifetime
Me : come help me up
Me : where is my ring ?
Mthunzi : sorry
He chuckles
*Mthunzi*
I lean by the wall , as she trails
down getting on her knees
Me : you okay ?
Me : hi
She turns , and her baby bump
just graces me
Me : oh , uhm…..
I want to ask exactly who is she
? And what is she doing here
Kelly : so…..
Kelly : I…..
Me : bye baby
He laughs
Mthunzi : wait….
I blush , I mean
I laugh
Me : you’re being silly bye
Me : uhm….
Me : don’t explain
I get up , taking an apple and a
pear . I walk to the lounge
Like in my house ?
I look at him
I sigh
Me : oh my word !
It’s that man , it’s him . The man
who broke my arm , like he’s
the one who answered her
phone
Where is she ?
.
.
.
.
*Mthunzi*
Me : what ?
Me : your whore
He frowns
Vuyo : whoa !
Me : for what ?
He nods
I laugh
He thinks he will get to me , so
surely Kevin told him the truth
about what happened to him
It will be pleasant
Mike : is my daughter around ?
Can I see her
Vuyo laughs
I leave them heading upstairs
.
.
.
.
*Onthatile*
I wipe my tears off
I feel robbed
Me : what….what did I do ?
I shake my head that’s
pounding like crazy
Me : I just….want it to stop ,
baby it’s too painful
*Mthunzi*
I look at her
Ontha : then….?
I nod slowly
She frowns
He gets up
Me : if he is , I want nothing to
do with you and him . And I so
wish he can die , the same way
he shot me and killed my baby .
Do me a favour and stay away
from me , I hate your son . I
hate him so much , there’s no
relationship that will ever
happen here
I look down , tears just come
out
Mike : I …… please…..
I turn back , and walk upstairs . I
get to our room , and get in bed
Me : mommy
She looks at me and smiles
Me : you ready to go ?
She nods
Me : I promise
She sighs
Me : it wasn’t
She nods
Me : no
Me : baby !
He sighs
Me : we…..have to go now
I nod
She nods
She smiles
As heart-breaking as it was , and
having to name a baby you
didn’t even hold into your arms
Amo : d….dum….
Me : o bata eng kwano ? (What
do you want here)
I get up
Koko : Onthatile
She tears
Me : yes
Mthunzi : okay
Lumka drives out first and we
follow them , we came in two
cars
I sigh
I never thought I’ll see Amo
again , and I hate how angry I
just got seeing her
Me : uhmmm….Tee ?
He smiles
Me : oh okay
Tee : what about you ?
Me : uhm….it’s…
He nods
Me : I…should go
Me : I don’t….know
I sigh
Tee : come on
Me : thank you
Tee : no sweat
Is it not so awkward as we don’t
say anything to each other
He says nothing
Me : Tee my home is that way
Me : Tee !
Me : Tee please ….
I tear up begging him to stop ,
but he’s just quite and just
ignoring me
I walk out
.
.
.
.
*INSERT 40*
*Paul*
I don’t know how these people
got me
Amo : P…..Paul ?
So am I
Me : I…I’m…..
He sighs
I drive home
I arrive , parking the car outside
on the drive way
My clit throbs
I giggle
Me : baby , you left me alone
last night
Mthunzi : I did ?
Me : but……
And he grunts
Me : baby please
Mthunzi : wait…..
Me : baby no !
I peck his lips
Me : please fuck me
Me : I want all of it
He bites my lower lip , removing
his hand on mine
I laugh
He goes in deeper and faster , I
feel like he’s shifting and poking
things inside of me
Me : what ?
She holds her phone out
Me : what’s that ?
She laughs
Ontha : this is sad , but I don’t
even know if I feel sad or what
Me : what ?
I nod
Me : they say , she was badly
hurt . Stabbed and carved with
a knife , her breasts were cut off
. And her lips , were just ripped
with a knife . Her throat was slit
, oh God ! This just some
terrifying things . Worse they
….say she was gang raped
according to just how her body
was found
I shrug
She sighs
And he cries
Me : oh……
Me : baby
*Onthatile*
I park the car , grabbing my bag
and phone . I look at the
portfolio and I’m lazy to grab it
from the back
I get out walking towards the
door , and these damn heels are
doing a number on me
Me : damn !
Mthunzi : I tried
I chuckle
Me : we’re never making babies
again
Mthunzi : but
Me : not 2 seconds
He frowns
Me : never
Daddy sighs
Mthunzi : I just put them to bed
like 10 minutes ago , why is he
waking up ?
I laugh
I find it so funny
He agreed
But when we heard that he left ,
Mthunzi scrapped the idea off
