Chapter 1
We are identical twins but Nelly is really fat and a bit dark.
Im slim and a bit light. And about beauty, i think we are at
a same level.. It all depends with how you see us. Well we
are black but i don't know why we have an English
surname though. I never asked. We are not rich nor poor,
but average. We stay in Highfield, yeah we are ghetto girls
kkkkk.. Ooh sorry, we are 21. At school we were both
bright and we passed then went to college. I was doing
journalism and Nelly was doing engineering.. My mom was
a nurse but she retired and my father was a police
detective. So here we go, there is nothing we did that dady
never find out kkkk..
I loved my twinny so much and she does too. But the time
we started going to college, she started changing. She was
now moody and rough sometimes. And by the way she
was talkative and i was her opposite, i was quiet. But i
always made sure that i didn't take whatever she said or
do to heart. That's how much i loved her.. I was not into
boys hangu and her, she wasn't into boys too but i think
she started this guys thing when she started playing with
this other girl called Belinda. I noticed that the girl was a
bad influence and i tried warning her but she never
listened.
*Him..:* Hi girls!
(That time my twin and her friend vakabva vatanga
kusmiler..)
*Nelly.:* Hey im Nelly.
(I felt embarrassed so i started walking..)
*Him...:* Nice im Jonny. What's her name?
(He was now asking about my name.)
*Belly.:* Kelly, they are twins.
*Him..:* I wanna talk to her..
(I started advancing because i really didn't wanna talk to
him.. He then started driving leaving Nelly and Belly
behind, following me.)
*Him..:* Hi Kelly. You are really beautiful hey. Can i give
you a ride?
*Me...:* (silent.....)
*Him..:* Come on girl i won't do anything to you.
*Me...:* Thank you sir but im not interested..

I was a bit confused then hung up. Right away i did a quick
look and Boom!! I had called Gab instead of Sean.. Kkkkk
Gab's number was on top and i didn't look thoroughly, i
just dialed.. I laughed at my self guys. Imagine i almost
caused myself a heart attack. I then called Gab back and
told her the news though. She was really happy that i was
now going to work. But she couldn't stop herself from
laughing. Later i dropped the call, then called Sean.. He
answered right away like he was expecting it..
*Me...:* Hi Jonny.
*Him.:* Hi Kelly. Thanks a lot for what you did. You helped
me see who's better between you two.
*Me..:* That's why i did that. I knew by just telling you that
Nelly is good for you, you were not gonna believe me.
*Him.:* Yeah thanks. So can i join you ninez?
*Me..:* Cool
(He joined..)
*Him.:* So what are you doing these days?
*Me...:* I work at ZBC.
*Him.:* Yoh i wonder what they saw in you.
*Me...:* The good stupid people don't see.
*Him.:* So what's your point?
*Me...:* Visit Google for more..

I didn't know what to do. Its like Sean was in danger for
real but i didn't trust that guy too. I started shivering. Why
would someone do that really?? He started walking away
and I was confused even more, i wanted to follow him, at
the same time i was scared of being kidnapped. I quickly
dialed daddy's number and it went straight kuvoicemail. I
couldn't leave a message that guy achizvinzwa..
I didn't get what she said but i could tell she was talking
nonsense. Ndakabva ndavharirwa right away.
Ndakachema guys. I had no idea how my family was gonna
find out. Ndaizoburitswa nani nhaimi. My only prayer
theb, wasn't to be set free, but Sean's health. I knew he
was the only one who was gonna help me. But considering
his condition, i had no idea when he was gonna recover,
and as an orphan with no one to call his own, he would be
neglected kuhospital kwacho, achingosiiwawo akadaro. Ko
these days money talks ka, kana usina mari
unongosairirwa uko...
END OF CHAPTER
Who stabbed Sean??
Stay tuned...
Well days passed and a week down the line, Prosper then
came back and told me that they were trying to see if they
would manage to pay the most intelligent lawyer in Zim.. I
told myself that i owe this guy a lot for helping me out. I
asked about Sean and he said he was not allowed to be
seen by the public for safety, until the case was closed.. At
least i had hope these days. Prosper looked serious about
this and i trusted him. I had so much faith in him..
END OF CHAPTER
Who is behind all this??
Did i hear correctly? Did Kelly just said Sean was the
intelligent lawyer????
Stay tuned....
Well the magistrate then came and the court started.. Guys
the lawyer who was representing the other part had so
many points. And false points futi. But my guy was indeed
intelligent. He started showing everyone his skills. Wow
he was really great. The other one tried clashing him with
his points but haa he was smarter than i expected. Well
later it was discovered that the man died some days before
the Sean incident. That's what the postmortem stated and
also that he was drugged with a poisonous drug.. Lastly
someone i never thought would be there was called. That
coloured guy was the witness and he said everything as it
is...
I couldn't stop myself from crying. I was hurt, imagine i
spent some weeks locked up for something i didn't do.
They were still running some investigations for the real
killer.. To cut the long story short, everything went well
and i was found not guilty. I cried for real, this was a relief
i tell you. The case was closed and i got my freedom back..
My family, real friends and relatives were really happy for
me.. By the way Nelly wasn't there and no one had an idea
of her whereabouts.. I was just happy that i was freed but i
was still confused with Sean being a lawyer. I tried asking
my parents and they were all surprised even uncle. He
said he was not aware of Sean's real identity...
Along the way i was crying non stop. I couldn't even utter
a single word. I was heartbroken. When was i going to be
happy? In no time we were there and he was admitted. He
was taken to the ICU because they said his condition was
bad. Prosper was making several calls and i wonder who
was he calling. I was hurt. That time i couldn't even hold
my phone to make a phone call. My hands were shaking
and my voice too was terrible. After some minutes i was
now trying to sob and Prosper sat next to me..
*Him..:* Kkkk some crazy things Sean do, well i don't want
you to panic ok. Just listen then ask later.
*Me...:* Ok.
Prosper wrote his O'Level the same year Sean wrote his
grade 7. When the results came out, they had passed with
flying colours and that's when Mrs Musonza visited their
orphanage and she was attached to them, that's how they
started living with her. She was a widow. Her husband
suffered from lung cancer and he passed on. They had no
kids though, so from then, she had no interest in getting
married again. She was supporting many kids though she
chose Prosper and Sean to be her real sons. From that
time, they changed their surnames to 'Musonza'.. They
both went to university in England and become well
known people. She taught them several things and that's
how they became so rich. They had businesses all over the
country...
I asked him about his gf and he was like im not yet ready
to be stressed kkkkk the reason yacho hayas.. Well I was
more than happy that i had one of my Sean's relatives who
was on my side. Later after knowing each other more, he
took me home. I found everyone there even uncle and Gab.
I told them everything and they were all shocked..
*Dad..:* His face was familiar but i never took note of it.
They were happy that he was a nice guy, but sad that he
was in the hospital.. Well the rest of the day went well. I
was no longer that stressed knowing that he was gonna be
fine. Prosper had told me not to worry. The day passed
and the next day i spent the day sleeping, i had missed
sleeping in my room. 3 days later i was called kubasa
again. I was happy i don't wanna lie. At least i would keep
my self occupied. I started going to work and i never saw
Nelly i don't know what she was doing. A week passed and
Sean was still unconscious. I was now worried about him.
But Prosper was my pillar of strength, he always
comforted me.. This other day it was a Friday and i was
coming from work. I received a call from Prosper and i
started smiling before answering. I knew good news was
coming my way..
Stay tuned......
📲...: Don't panic. He will be fine soon. Will come back after
3 days then will tell you how he is.
*Me.:* Ok thank you.
Just like what Gab had said, i had to be strong. I just told
myself that all was gonna be well.. I continued going to
work as usual and i was happy when Prosper told me that
they had a lead to that person who was after me and Sean..
At least i wanted to know why they were doing that. I had
so much faith in Prosper and my dad because they were
now working together.. I was worried about Sean but not
that much because i had faith that he was going to
recover... Days passed and Prosper told me that Sean was
now feeling better but since he had amnesia, the doctors
there suggested that he came back to the place where the
accident occurred, that way he can be able to memorize
some things.. I was so excited about him coming because i
knew maybe he was gonna remember me...
This other day i was at work just after lunch and my boss
called me to his office. My heart started beating because i
was just afraid of being fired. I went there trying to be
strong. Well when i got into the office, my eyes met up
with this beautiful lady wearing expensive outfit. My heart
skipped because she looked classy and serious..
I was scared. Who is this lady and where is she taking me?
But she smiled at me im sure she noticed that i was really
scared.
Along the way she was telling me a lot about herself and
her two sons. She told me exactly what Prosper had told
me. She was friendly i tell you. She even thanked me for
loving Sean wholeheartedly, before finding out about his
real identity. Well later we arrived to Greystone Park
[Sean's House].. She drove in and we went out of the car..
She led the way to the main door and we got inside.. We
found Sean watching TV sleeping on a sofa.. He then stood
up and came to hug his mom..
What will Kelly do now that his boyfriend thinks that Nelly
is his girlfriend???
Stay tuned....
Chapter 9
*Him..:* Kelly why is Nelly not with you? Asi she's not
happy im back??
*Me...:* She was just busy lately. Im sure she will be here
tomorrow.
*Him..:* Ok..
That moment i called mom and told her that i was leaving.
Seating beside Sean was really boring kkk. She wanted me
to stay a bit and i just agreed. I didn't wanna hurt her
already bleeding heart. We went and sat outside. She was
just telling me not to lose hope. She told me that the
doctors had said his condition was not that bad as
compared to the other patients they had. So there was a
possibility that he was gonna be ok soon. I wanted to first
think about it because hey it was really tough. But she was
really lovely. She said i was the only girl she loved to see
near her son, so she was willing to do whatever it takes to
help him. She was a lovely mom i tell you..

Jonny is a what???
Stay tuned.....
Chapter 10
*Pro..:* You guys you need to talk.. Mom and i, will excuse
you.
(I had no idea what he was trying to say..)
They left and i was left with Sean, i wondered why they
had to left me with him knowing his condition. I just
zipped my mouth. I was waiting for him to start the
conversation. He too didn't say anything. Instead he stood
up and went upstairs. He didn't take much time there. He
came back with his laptop. I was just looking at him trying
to figure out what he was up to. Well he removed a flash
on the laptop, and inserted it in the DVD.. He then
switched on the TV..
*Him..:* I don't want you to panic ok?.. Just use your eyes,
and questions later..
(I just nodded my head)
Prosper took his phone from his hands angrily, and left the
room. He then slept. The next day Prosper visited him
along with their mom and he was still thinking that Nelly
was his girl.. *▶He then paused the video...*
*Pro..:* Bro look at this. Its terrible but you can watch it.
*Him.:* What is it?
*Pro..:* Just watch.
Prosper gave him his flash and he inserted it in his laptop..
That was a video of two love birds crossing a highway,
holding hands.. That moment a car came from nowhere
and hit the girl, the guy ran to the girl and i was shocked
seeing the girl with my face.. Its like someone was zooming
it and then my face covered the whole screen.. That
moment Sean just screamed...
*Him..:* Noooo!!!
*Pro...:* What's wrong bro?
(He kept quiet for a while then said..)
*Him..:* I need to go there now. Where is she? Is she dead?
*Pro..:* Who are you talking about?
*Him.:* Damn Prosper drop the act, where is Kelly my
girlfriend?!!
*Pro..:* Oooh thank God my brother's memory is back..
*▶He paused the video again...* I then froze. Its like i was
watching a movie.. Everything was like a drama to me. I
couldn't believe that was real.. Sure Sean's memory was
back? Ndakaita kupererwa manzwa...

Chapter 11
Prosper
Kelly
*Pro..:* Kelly we just trying to help each other here. Its not
like we going to kill her..
*Me...:* Even though, why on earth would you pick her?? I
know she don't like me, but the fact that we shared the
same womb, makes her harmless. She will never work
with such dangerous people.
*Sean.:* Sorry babe. That was just a suggestion. But if you
not ok with it, cool..
*Me...:* Im not..
I could tell everyone was pierced off. But why would they
be? I didn't do anything wrong. I guess that was the simple
sign that they all didn't want me there, in fact, my
presence was irritating. So it was better to go back home.
Maybe i would be giving them peace.

Chapter 12
*00:01 🔘________________10:55
⏮ ⏸ ⏭
Nelly and Sean were sitting at the backyard in Gretstone
Park.. Im sure that was the time i was in Bulawayo because
i didn't know this day... They were having a nice time i
guess.
In no time i was at the bus stop and its a good thing i found
an almost full commuter omnibus then bordered. Along
the way i was trying Sean's number but still, it was
unreachable. I even tried Prosper and mom's, and they
were the same. I was now stressed even more. Does this
mean they no longer need me? Is Sean that upset with me?
Does he still love me? All these questions were running
around my head. I didn't know what to think anymore. All
because i couldn't close my mouth. Why didn't i just keep
quiet?? Why didn't i just tell them to give me time to think
about this? Now it was messed up and i had no idea how i
was gonna clean the mess. Trust me Nelly destroyed me.
She ruined everything and i didn't know if i was gonna
forget about everything she had put me through..
Well ndakapinda mutown and took a taxi to Greystone
Park. The taxi didn't take much time, and i arrived. I ran to
the gate and knocked. The gate man then came out..
END OF CHAPTER
Kelly indeed pushed her man away.
Stay tuned...
Sean
Hi guys! I'm sure you happy im on the platform. Well i
think you now know a lot about me. Prosper or Kelly,
whoever between the two, already told you a lot about me.
And there is nothing i can add or subtract from what you
know. So i will use this opportunity to tell you what you all
want to hear.. Kelly and i right???
We were really close and this one day I heard that there
were so many kids in Highfield who were in need. I told
Bee and he told me that his sister stayed there, so he was
going there too. I suggested that i wait for him at
Machipisa Shopping Centre, after doing what i wanted to.
Later he brought his two nieces. I don't wanna lie, the
other one made my heart skip, and she was really
beautiful and simple as compared to the other twin. But i
was hurt she met me in that terrible state. She was indeed
lovely that i wanted her to meet me in my original self,
then i could treat her like a queen. But still it was water
under the bridge. Actually that kinda helped me know if
she truly loved me though. Trust me, she was indeed a
woman every guy would die for. Beautiful, caring, humble
and above all she was loyal.
Kelly
I woke up in a beautiful room. The room was well
designed and i wondered where i was. I quickly
remembered what had happened. So Sean had left me?? I
wanted to scream but i really had no power. Tears started
falling down my cheeks. I felt weak that i couldn't even
shout for help because it seemed like i was kidnapped.
That moment Gab walked in..
I was not even in the mood but she insisted. I then agreed.
I really wanted to occupy myself so that i don't think
much. She told me that the time i collapsed, she was calling
and the gate man answered my phone telling her what had
happened to me. She then rushed there. She was lovely.
Well she then gave me her nice new yellow long dress and
heels, she also styled my hair. In no time i was looking
gorgeous. She said we were going to a friend's place for
some drinks. That was like a house party or so. We didn't
take much time then we left. She drove really fast and yoh
she looked like she was out of time. She then stopped and
blindfolded me hanzi i have a surprise what what. I was
now beginning to suspect her acts. We arrived where i
suspected to be the place and i couldn't see the place since
i was blindfolded. She parked inside then i got out with her
help.
She helped me to the main door. But the place was quiet
and i wondered what kinda party was that. I didn't ask
though. She opened the door and made me stand. She told
me to remove the fold in the count of three. After 3 i
removed it and i was like what??? The room was full and
they all shouted "SURPRISEEEE". That moment Sean
popped up from nowhere and knelt down on one knee,
holding this blue ring box.. I was like whaaat??? And the
next thing i did was.....
END OF CHAPTER
What a lovely guy Sean is??
Stay tuned....
Kelly
The next thing i did was crying. I thought he had left me
but here he was, about to propose. I couldn't stop my tears
from falling. I loved Sean for real, and living without him
by my side, was starting to be difficult..
*Dad..:* Kelly you the reason why this evil lady is still here.
*Me...:* What do you mean by that?
*Him..:* At least tell us what you think about her, and what
you want us to do with her.
(That was indeed a difficult question. I didn't know what
to say.)
*Me..:* I don't even know what to say. In fact i don't wanna
talk about it. What she did is something i never expected
from her so im actually out of words.
*Mom:* I told you she will say nothing.
*Dad.:* Don't worry. The solution is there already. She's
going to jail.
END OF CHAPTER
Stay tuned..
*NB...: Like i said, this is a short story, the next chapter will
be the final....
FINAL CHAPTER
Chapter 15
Well i cried my lungs out for some minutes, and tell you
what?? Nothing changed. The problem was never solved,
the solution was never there. So why was i crying really? I
asked myself. That moment i then thought of following my
man, we had to talk. Killing my self with crying was never
gonna help me. I remembered that i had promised to stand
by him, listen to him and never doubt him. I was too
speedy, i concluded quickly before listening to his point of
view. This was really gonna ruin my relationship slowly
and that is what i didn't want. I then stood up and went to
his bedroom upstairs. I thought he had locked the
bedroom, but to my surprise the room was unlocked. I
knocked and nobody responded then i entered. I found
him fast asleep.
He said those words pointing at his bed then left the room.
There was a nice red T-shirt and white ripped skin jean.
The T-shirt was written..: "Kelly's King". I smiled looking at
the T-shirt. For a moment, i wanted to scream then i
remembered that Sean had asked me to be quick. I
changed fast and wow i was looking gorgeous. The clothes
looked perfect on me. I then went out and Sean froze too
looking at me...
I was happy that me and my bae we were OK. The next day
i started going to work. My life was now OK. Sean made
sure that he take me out for lunch everyday, and he would
come and pick me after work. He was spoiling me big time.
And Chris my Ndebele friend kkkkk he found himself a girl
and he was no longer interested im going back home..
That's how crazy he was.. And i was now friends with my
sister in law. Her name was Precious. She was simple and
cool though she came from an average family like me.
Well days passed and i visited Nelly only twice. Yes she
was never sorry for ruining my life that's why i saw it
useless paying her some visits. The court day finally
arrived and i was really waiting for it. I really wanted to
know the reason why my twin betrayed me.. And guess
what?? Sean lied to me, he was actually not the lawyer
those people paid. I guess he just wanted to test my
brains.. Everyone was there.. My sister looked pale that
day, guess life was beginning to be hard on her. But still
Nelly was Nelly, she cared less though..
Everything was done and the big day was finally here. My
parents were over the moon. I had made them proud. I
chose “Wild Geese" for our venue, and it was a good thing
Precious loved that place too. Gab was my maid of honor,
ncaww my love for her never dies. The wedding was well
organised i tell you. We had invited all our friends and
relatives.. We had so much fun. We were now husband and
wife with my man, the King of my heart.. Later it was now
time for speeches. Everyone said whatever they wanted to
say and shame we got so much love from people. Later
Sean said he had two presents for me. I was shocked
seeing Nelly coming out of the crowd with a big tummy.
Damn my sister was pregnant. She looked terrible. She
was now slim mmmm life was treating her bad. I ran to
her i had missed her, despite being “My Terrible Twin”. She
hugged me back and started crying.
She said so with a shaking voice.. I felt sorry for her. Jonny
that monster really? That moment Sean came closer and
said..:
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
THE END
