#1

At Shell Filling station in Gaborone, Natefo

hurried over to a red Range Rover Evoque fixing
his cap. He smiled at the customer inside the
car.
“Good afternoon…”

The lady looked at him and smiled. “Hi, it’s slow

or le busy?”

“A bit busy but I apologize.”

“It’s ok, I am not upset or anything.”

He smiled politely. “Ok.”

“Ke kopa o ntshelele ka 600, the usual one.”

“Eemma.”
He smiled then walked round her car. He
quickly filled up her car then walked to the
window. She handed him P600 cash.

“Can you wipe my windscreen?”

“Eemma.”

She smiled as took the money. He was very

handsome, skinny but handsome. She always
made sure to fuel by the filling station just to
see him. His dark complexion always gave her
goosebumps, not to mention just how smooth
his skin was. Natefo walked to the cashier to
get her receipt. He rushed back and started
cleaning her windscreen.

The lady in the car took out her phone calling

her friend rolling up her windows.

“Osa…”

“Friend I am going to hell but this crush I have

on this boy is not going anywhere. I feel funny
even saying it but my God! Nopa le yone mma e
ntswere kadi washen. (On the other side I am
horny.)”

Her friend laughed. “Tsala I long told you to get

him, fuck him and get it over with.”

“Mma what will people say when they find out

that I am sleeping with a boy old enough to be
my son? Gape a fuel attendant. My ex husband
owns a law firm Boi, I am a CFO at bank.
Imagine me sleeping with a fuel attendant. He
probably doesn’t have a degree. Nna I don’t
want to be gossiped.”

“How will people know Osa? You fuvk him and

dispose.”

Osa looked at Natefo, her heart racing a bit, her

eyes going to his pants. He finished up. She
rolled down her window and got her receipt.

“Thank you.”

“Eemma.”

He sounded so respectful and down to earth.

She reached for a P200 note and handed it to
him like she usually did on most occasions.
“Here, tip.”

His smile broadened as his eyes lit up. He

reached for it.

“Thank you mam! Thank you!”

“It’s Osa, what do they call you? Just Natefo?”

Natefo laughed. “Tefo.”

“I will call you Nate. I like it better.”

He laughed. “Eemma.”
“How old are you?”

“27.”

“Ok.”

She smiled and drove off putting on her

expensive sun glasses. Tefo looked at the P200
almost jumping. His colleague looked at him.

“Mister, that lady likes you. Do you realize she

doesn’t fuel here when you are not there?”

He laughed. “She is a loyal customer. Shift

yame e hedile bafethu, I’m out!”

“Sure laitaka.”
He shoved the P100 in his pocket and went to
his locker where he grabbed his backpack and
rushed out. He took out his phone and there
were 2 missed calls from Maemo.

He called her rushing to the bus stop. Her

phone rang unanswered. He called her twice
more but she still didn’t pick then he called her
cousin instead.

“Hello!”

“Bonolo, it’s Tefo. Where’s Momo?”

“Uh… she.. she’s about to go out. Call her.”

“She’s not picking. Where is she going?”

“I don’t know. Call her again.”

“Nolo-“

“Bye.”

She hung up. Tefo stopped a combi and jumped

in texting his girlfriend.

Tefo: Hey babe, I’m on my way. Happy birthday.

Maemo replied minutes later.

Momo: I am not home. Please don’t come.

Tefo looked at her message then looked at the
time. Ten minutes later he stopped the combi
and paid jumping off.

He rushed over to her house then looked at the

Golf 7 parked in front of their gate. He looked at
the man inside opening the gate. He walked in
the yard just as Momo walked out wearing a
short black dress and heels with her makeup
nicely done.

She frowned looking at Tefo, he smiled at her.

“Hey…”

“I said don’t come.”

Tefo hugged her but Momo stood still. He
moved back and excitedly took out a gift bag
from his bag.

“Happy birthday…”

She snatched it and opened the gift bag. Momo

took out an iphone 8. Her frown deepened.

“What’s this?”

“You have been wanting an iphone –“

“So you go and buy me this old thing? Other

ladies use the latest iphones and you saw it fit
to buy this outdated thing? I told you not to
come to my house and wena you still come to
bring me this nonsense?”

Tefo looked at her confused. “Babe-“

“O seka ware babe! Nna rra ke lapile! I am tired

of this nonsense. I want a man that afford me
because obviously you can’t! I have been
patient for long enough ke lapile. I can’t keep
dating a filling station attendant when my age
mates are dating accountants and CEO’s. I can’t
be dating a man that his monthly salary can’t
even buy me a 22 inch Peruvian wig! Have you
seen what other men do for their girlfriends?”

“Momo what happened?”

“You are broke and nna I can’t anymore. I don’t

want this relationship anymore. You can’t even
see you are not in my class anymore. You can’t
even give me a monthly allowance. Other
woman get monthly allowance. You don’t drive
and you are not classy. Gona le banna hela ba
madi ba ba kgwetsang di koloi tse dintle ebile
ba ka nnelang madi. (There are many who have
money and they drive nice cars who can give
me money.)”

Tefo swallowed. “Momo you understand that I

can’t find a job I-“

“I don’t care! I want to be taken care of! Take

your cheap phone o tsamaye (and go) because I
am done with you. I have moved on. My
boyfriend is waiting for me.” She threw the
iphone box down.
His heart raced. She pushed her weave back.

“You mean the guy with the car-“

“I don’t love you anymore. You are useless, you

can’t do anything for me. You stay in a one
room, that’s not the future I want for myself.
You can’t compare to that man so just go. I
don’t want you anymore. Ke lapile! (I am tired.)”

She walked to the gate. Tefo pulled her hand.

“Don’t do this, remember where we have come

from. Momo-“

“Yes I remember and it’s been poverty from the

first day. Ga ke go batle! I don’t love you! You
need to date your types because –“

“If you want allowance I will give you allowance.

I will give it to you please!”

“I don’t want your 2 cents. I want proper money.

Real money! I want a man who drives a car!”

The man in the car stepped out and walked over.

Momo pushed Tefo’s hand away and moved
back. The man kissed her neck.

“Everything ok?”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

“Momo-“
“I am done talking to you!”

Momo turned walking to the car with her new

boyfriend. Tefo walked behind them.

“Momo please wait, let’s talk. Momo!”

She got in the car and closed her door locking it.
Her boyfriend got in too, Tefo tried opening her
door but it was locked.

“Momo! Babe let’s talk, babe!”

The car’s engine started then her new boyfriend

drove off.
Tefo ran after the car.

“Momo! Momo! Maemo!”

The golf sped off. Bonolo walked out and

swallowed sadly looking at Tefo as he stood in
the middle of the road in disbelief.

#2

Tefo stood there for a moment trying to

understand what had just happened. His phone
vibrated in his pocket.

Momo: I am sorry but love won’t pay bills Tefo.

Ke lekile go padile. (I have tried and failed.) I am
woman and I want to be spoilt and loved like
other women. Right now you can’t give me
anything my heart desires. Our relationship is
not working. I am blocking you.

He rubbed his eyes but the message remained

the same. Bonolo walked out then bended
picking the phone her sister had thrown on the
ground. She walked over.
“Founu ke ye. (Here is the phone.)”

He turned and swallowed. “What happened?”

“I am sorry but she found someone new. He…

spoils her a lot. He even buys grocery for the
house.”

“But…” He ran out of words still caught in

disbelief.

“I am really sorry.”

He shook his head. “I don’t understand… we

were happy.”
“You were. She long moved on.”

Tefo laughed then paused realizing all of this

was actually happening. She looked at his sad
face. He slowly took the phone.

“Ok…”

“I am sorry.”

He nodded. “How long has…” He swallowed.

“Two months.”

He nodded, tears filling his eyes. He tried to

think of all he had invested into the relationship,
the sacrifices he had made. All of it wasn’t
enough.

He nodded as a painful block sat on his throat.

It felt as if a bob wire was chocking him.

He turned and started walking to his house but

he was going to a different direction.

Bonolo blinked. “Tefo… your house is that side.”

He stopped then turned walking the other

direction. Every step he took felt so heavy he
felt like sitting on the ground and just resting.

He rubbed his eyes trying to see properly. His

phone rang in his hand. He took it out and
picked his older brother’s call.
“Hello?”

“Hey, o kae?”

“Kea lapeng. (I am going home.)

“Why do you sound like this? Are you ok?”

Tefo tried to talk but tears filled his eyes

instead. He sniffed.

“Tefo, what’s wrong?”

“Kana Momo wa ncheater Tumo… (Momo is

cheating on me.)”
“Momo?”

“She says I can’t afford her, ga kitse gore o ra

yang(I don’t know what she means) because
she knows I would do anything she wants if I
have the money. I have been saving for her
iphone for months now and…” He sniffed.

“Eish I am sorry. I am really sorry..”

“O nkutusa bothoko.. (she’s hurting me.)”

“I am sorry. Just go and rest. You can’t cry for a

girl. You will find someone new.”

“But I only want her… I love her…”

“Go and drink water. O ta siama. We will talk
tomorrow.”

***

Tumo hung up while his wife looked at him.

“Why are you not telling him? Tumo kana the

Indian couple that want the farm are ready to
buy it. Can you just tell your brother that we are
selling that property!”

Tumo sighed. “He is going through something. I

can’t just tell him that I am selling our late
father’s farm and he’s not getting anything from
it.”
“His girlfriend cheating on him is nothing, it’s
not like they are married. He’s just being a
baby. You should tell him before we lose the
house we want to buy. I am not going to keep
staying in the three beds we are staying at
Tumo gape I want to transfer the kids to a nicer
English medium school. Don’t you want that
too?”

“Amo I hear you but you need to understand

that Tefo is my brother and-“

“Then make a choice, between your brother and

this family! Tell Tefo that we are selling the plot.
We only need his signature. You don’t have to
tell him that he’s getting nothing from it. He will
find out on his own akere he’s stupid and
remember what that man told us? Your brother
and your mother are the reason our things were
not going well. I long knew your mother didn’t
like me so her bewitching us didn’t surprise me
but your brother ene… that one shook me. Tell
him we are selling that farm.” She started
undressing.

“You took care of that farm alone since your

father passed away. Your father knew what he
was doing when he left the farm in your care.
He trusted you enough to maintain it and you
did it… all by yourself. This farm belongs to you
and no one can force you to divide the money
you get from it. You are a man, act like it.”

She walked to the bathroom.

Tumo looked at his phone wondering just how

he’d break the news to him but then Amo had a
point. Not once had Tefo contributed to
anything the farm needed before. Either way he
needed the money more. He called his brother.

Tefo’s phone rang unanswered for a while till it

stopped. He tried a few more times but Tefo
still didn’t pick.

***

The following morning at Shell filling station,

Osa slowed down trying to locate Tefo but she
couldn’t see him anywhere. The week hadn’t
ended and he still had the day shift.

Osa paused then laughed herself. She now even

knew his schedule.
God Osa… she sighed then pulled up as Tefo’s
colleague walked over.

“Dumelang..”

“Hi, where is Natefo?”

“Tefo hasn’t hasn’t come in yet.”

“Why?”

“We don’t know. We have been trying to call him

but he’s not picking ebile we are starting to get
worried. It’s unlike him gape he knows that the
boss is coming today.”

“Do you think something may have happened to

him?”

“I don’t know just that he’s never late no matter

what. He usually communicates.”

Osa swallowed. “Where does he stay?”

“In Tlokweng. Uh..” His colleague quickly

directed her. Osa nodded.

“Ok.. I didn’t need to know that… I was just

asking. Pour P200.”

“Eemma.”

Osa took a deep breath as he filled up her tank.

She paid then drove off not even waiting for a
receipt like she usually did.

She called her PA.

“Good morning Ms Remogo.”

“Hi, I will be late. Please clear my morning.”

“Yes mam. Mr D called.”

“I will call him back, thanks.”

She joined the Tlokweng road hoping she had

gotten those directions right.

*
15 Minutes Later…

Osa slowed down at the black gate that had

been described. She stopped the car then
stepped out in her body hugging formal black
dress and red bottoms. She pushed the gate
open and looked at the series of one rooms in
the yard.

“God Osa what are you doing… go to work!” She

whispered underneath her breath then got back
in the car. She took a deep breath in and drove
inside the yard.

She parked her car and stepped out as a girl

walked from one of the rooms.
Osa smiled. “Hi, how are you?”

“I am fine mam how are you?”

“I am fine. Uh do you know Natefo?”

“Natefo?”

“He works at Shell. He stays here.”

“Oh.. the skinny guy? There.” She pointed at one

of the rooms. Osa smiled.

“Thanks.”

She locked her car and walked to the door then

knocked but there was no response.

She knocked for a while and finally called.

“Tefo! Nate! Hello! Tefo!”

She sighed then walked to the window. She

knocked on the window.

“Tefo! Natefo!”

She paused listening to footsteps in the house.

Osa swallowed, what if he was with his
girlfriend. She hadn’t thought it through.

The curtain moved then he looked at her. She

forced a smile. He moved from the window.
Osa walked back to the door as he opened it.

“Hi… I am sorry but I went to the filling station

and I heard you hadn’t arrived. Your boss is
coming today and…-“

“Shit!” His eyes widened then he went back

inside the room. Osa looked around and walked
inside, her heels echoing on the floor. Her eyes
adjusted to the one room. There was a bed, a
chest of drawers, a couch then the other side
was a small kitchen unit with a stove. It looked
clean and somehow smart.

He took off his t-shirt. Osa swallowed looking at

his chest. He looked at her.

“I passed out after… Fuck uh… thanks for..

checking up on me? I need to get to work.
Thanks though.”

She quickly nodded. “I can drop you off at

work.”

“I don’t want to waste more of your time –“

“It’s ok. I don’t mind… I will wait outside in the

car.”

She turned and walked out. Tefo grabbed the

bucket with water and poured a bit in his
bathing bucket and washed his face and
underarms.

*
Osa got in her car. She took a deep breath
trying not to think about it. He was a couple of
years older than her son so it wasn’t that bad
but still…

Minutes later Tefo walked out. She looked at

him as he got in the car.

“You can drop me off at the bus stop and I will

get a combi.”

“It will delay you. I will take you to work.”

She started the car and reversed out then drove

off. He put on the seatbelt.
“Thank you.”

She smiled. “Its ok. Your colleague was very

worried about you.”

She stepped on the accelerator as her heart

pounded. She had never had him this close to
her for a longer period. She slowly turned
stealing glances at him.

Less than ten minutes later she parked at the

bus stop before the filling station.

“I will drop you off here so that people don’t…

your colleagues don’t think I..”

She turned to him and smiled a bit embarrassed.

He smiled back.

“Thank you Ma-… Osa.”

Her voice got even softer. “Sharp.”

He took off the seatbelt and jumped out of her

car. Osa smiled watching him run to the filling
station. She put her hands on her face giggling.

#3

Tefo hurried over to the filling station. His

colleagues looked at him then his friend walked
over.

“Mister and then?”

“I overslept. Is he in?”

“Not. Be quick!”

He nodded then put away his bag in his locker.

He paused checking his phone. He looked at his
brother’s calls, he’d call him later.
He swallowed and called Momo but it didn’t go
through like it hadn’t been going through the
previous night. She had obviously blocked him.

He sent her anotherr message.

Tefo: Can we talk about everything? You didn’t

even give me a chance to try and improve. I love
you so much. I have loved only you. Don’t throw
what we had down the drain like this.

He swallowed looking at his message then he

put his phone away and hurried out.

His friend walked over. “Are you good?”

“Yeah..”

Kitso sighed. “I saw Momo’s post. Did you

know?”

“What post?”

“She posted pictures of herself at a fancy

restaurant with another man. I thought you two
were going to be together last night.”

Tefo swallowed. “She is breaking up with me.”

“Shit!”

“Yeah… when I got to her house yesterday she

was going out with him. She said I can’t afford
her and… kana the problem is that Momo never
told me she wanted girlfriend allowance before.
All this talk…” He rubbed his face.

Kitso rubbed his friend’s shoulder. “I am sorry.

By the way your favorite customer came by. I
am telling you that lady likes you. She was even
asking more questions about you today.”

Tefo nodded with a slight chuckle then walked

to a car that had just pulled up putting on his
best smile.

***

That same morning, Momo’s boyfriend parked

at the gate.
“I will call you.”

“Ok, thank you babe.” She kissed him then

stepped out of the car. He drove off as she
walked in the yard.

Her mother looked at her. “Where are you

coming from?”

“I was celebrating my birthday. Richard said I

should give you this.” She handed her mother
P400. Her mother smiled taking it.

“Tell him thank you. I like this one eseng bo

Natefo! I told you to break up with him. I am
happy you are leaving him.”
Momo smiled walked to her bedroom where her
cousin was sitting on the bed studying.

Momo put her things down then took off her

shoes. Bonolo looked at her.

“You didn’t speak to Tefo properly yesterday. He

was very hurt.”

“I had been showing him signs that I don’t want

him anymore. I had to do what I did so he can
get it through his head. Tefo wa bora. He will
never be successful in life. He will always be
broke for the rest of his life. His brother is doing
great things but enr he is stuck in the same
place. How long will he work as a filling station
attendant? Nna I want a proper man. You see
how Richard is like? Tefo can’t begin to
compare to him.”
“Tefo is a good person –“

“Then take him! Take him and be with him! He’s

too broke for me. I don’t know what I ever saw
in him but I regret ever dating him. I am moving
on. I know my worth. I am not a bad person
because I don’t want to date a broke man. I
have the freedom to choose who I want to be
with. I have the choice to choose the kind of
lifestyle I want for myself. Natefo can’t give that
to me. You are still young, you will understand
one day when you are older that love doesn’t
pay bills.”

Momo took her phone and uploaded more

pictures on Facebook.
***

Later that day, Tefo knocked on the door at

Momo’s house.

He moved back as mmagwe Momo opened.

She looked at him with a frown.

“How can I help you?”

“Dumelang… I am here to see Momo.”

“Momo is not home. You need to leave my yard

and never come back. What you are doing is
called trespassing! I never want to see your
face ever again! My daughter told me that she
broke up with you so next time you step into my
yard I am going to report you to the police do
you hear me? I want you out! My daughter is not
your type. I will not let you disturb her peace!”

He looked at her then nodded and turned

Mmagwe Momo closed the door walking back
in the house.

Momo laughed out loud. “Thank you! I don’t

know what he needs to hear to understand that
I don’t want him anymore.”

“Don’t worry, I will deal with him.”

“You should have seen him yesterday running

after the car like an idiot.”
They both laughed out loud.

Tefo walked to the gate as they continued to

laugh. He held his bag tightly walking. He
passed a tuckshop along the way. Bonolo
turned standing by the tuckshop and walked
over.

“Hi.”

Tefo quickly rubbed his glossy eyes. “Hey.”

“You are coming from our house?”

“Yeah I just… I thought your cousin would give

us a chance to talk but your aunt was there and
she said Momo is not around.”

“She is home. She just doesn’t want to see you.”

“I know… I heard them laugh at me.”

“I am sorry. You are a nice person. You will find

someone else.”

“I don’t know but thanks.”

He turned to walk but staggered feeling dizzy.

Bonolo grabbed his hand panicking.

“Are you ok?”

“Yeah…I…I… I have a headache.”

She looked around and it was getting dark but

then he didn’t look well.

“I will walk you home.”

“Nolo-“

“And make sure you arrive safely. Come.”

She pulled his hand walking. They finally walked

through his yard. He took out the key then
unlocked the door.
“It’s dark, I have to make sure you get home
safely.”

“I will run home. I am 21 Tefo, I am not a baby.

Get in and drink water.”

She pulled him inside then looked around. She

took a cup then opened the small bar fridge and
poured him cold water.

“Drink.”

She handed him the cup. Tefo sat down and

drank the water realizing he hadn’t drank or
eaten anything throughout the day.

“Thanks.”
“At least you are a man. If it was me I’d be
crying.”

Tefo chuckled. “Being a man doesn’t mean you

don’t cry.”

“You cry but not like me.”

He laughed. “Yeah.. I guess.”

“Bye.”

She took the empty cup and out it. She walked
out running but she missed a step and tripped
falling.
Tefo quickly stood up and hurried over as she
stood up.

“Are you ok?”

“I am ok! I’m ok! See? I’m ok.”

He looked at her as she jumped around. Tefo

laughed.

“Wa tsenwa. (You are crazy.) I will walk you

home.”

“You can’t walk me home when I just walked

you home. Get back in your house and rest.
Kana stress sa mojolo gase shename sone.”
She pushed him back in the house then smiled.

“Cry yourself to sleep.”

“O tetsi bohema.”

She laughed. “You will be fine.”

He looked at her for a while then leaned over

kissing her. She froze but he kissed her more.
Bonolo closed her eyes finding herself kissing
him back.

His hands went down to her waist caressing her

body then he closed the door picking her up.
Her flip flops fell on the floor as he laid her
down on his bed getting on top of her. Her
dress rode up to her waist exposing her panty.

Tefo pulled away snapping out of it and quickly

got off her.

“Fuvk! I’m sorry… I am so sorry. I just, I wasn’t

thinking. I am sorry.

Bonolo slowly got off the bed. “Its ok. Some

people use sex as a copying mechanism.”

“What?”

“Sex can relieve stress and anxiety by triggering

the release of feel good hormones including
oxytocin. You want to use it to distract yourself
from the pain you are feeling and I am the
closest person showing you any type of care so
automatically you feel closer to me and think I
can help you cope. I should go. Please this
never happened. Bye!”

She walked out and ran off into the darkness.

Tefo rubbed his face.

“Fuvk Tefo!”

His phone rang, he reached for it and picked as

his brother called.

“Yeah?”

“Hey, I am outside.”

Tefo hung up and walked outside where his

brother had parked his brand new Ford Ranger.
Tefo smiled walking over. Tumo stepped out
and smiled in his suit.

“Ntwana!”
Tefo laughed bumping shoulders with him.
“This car is nice.”

Tumo laughed as his brother touched the car

walking round it.

“I had to get something a bit bigger.”

“This suits you better.”

“Yeah, how are you feeling?”

Tefo shrugged. “I am not sure how I am

supposed to just accept that my 3 year old
relationship is over just like that. It still feels like
a dream.”
“O akanya thata. (You are overthinking.) You
were never going to marry that girl.”

“I love her. Right now I just… I wish we can just

talk so I find ways to be what she needs.”

“Do you want to rob banks? Let that girl go.

Things will work out I promise.”

“You don’t understand. I love Maemo. I love her

so much.”

“I know but she already found someone new.

You are competing with someone who’s well off.
You can’t even begin to compare to him. He
probably gives her your salary as money to just
spend. Let Maemo go. You will find someone
better.”

Tefo swallowed. “Its good seeing you. I missed

you.”

Tumo smiled. “Yeah… I’ve been busy at work. I

need to talk to you about something.”

“Oh..”

“Yeah. Uh… I was thinking to sell the farm.”

Tefo looked at him. “What? Why?”

“It’s expensive to maintain. It can go for 800k to

a million. Imagine all that money… you can take
half and… maybe that’s what you need. Start
something.”

Tefo smiled at the idea. “Are you sure?”

“Its pointless keeping it right now. We are not

even using it. I need money, I have loans Tefo.
You also need money. I mean this is perfect
chance to prove that you are a man who’s
worth it.”

Tefo smiled. “Shit! I can’t begin to imagine all

that money..”

“There is someone who is ready to buy it. By the

end of this week… we will have that money. You
just need to sign this document.”
“Are you fuvking with me?”

“No I am serious. This is your break through.”

Tumo handed him the document. Tefo opened

it to read but Tumo turned it to the last page.

“It’s just a write up that says we agree to sell it

to him and some bunch of nonsense. It’s not
important. Just sign then send me your bank
details so I have the money processed as soon
as it comes through.”

Tefo looked at him happily. “Are you serious?”

“Dead serious. You need this. You can’t work as

a filling station attendant forever.”
Tefo looked at the last page. Tumo pointed
where he was supposed to sign.

“Imagine 500k in your account.”

Tefo excitedly signed. His brother took the

document.

“Send me banking details.”

“Yah.. let me do it now. Fuck I can’t believe

this!”

Tumo laughed and hugged him. “Your life is

about to change!”
They both laughed happily. Tumo’s phone rang,
he looked at his wife calling.

“I have to go. Kana Freya is not well.”

“She must be big now.”

“Yeah she’s 3. Maybe we can do lunch this

weekend after we get the money. To celebrate.”

Tefo nodded. “Yeah. I’d love that.”

“Perfect. See you!”

Tumo jumped in his car then started the engine

and drove off.
He answered. “Babe..”

“And?”

“He signed. He didn’t read the document.”

“Thank God! Ene he’s always been stupid. I am

not surprised.”

“I will be there in thirty minutes.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

He hung up heading home.

***

Tefo walked in his house excitedly. He jumped

celebrating. He pinched himself and yeah it was
all real.

He hummed happily.

Bonolo walked inside her aunt’s house

breathing heavily. Momo turned looking at her.

“Uhu, and then?”

“I went to the internet Café. I had to submit an
assignment.”

“Ok. I am going out. Bontle is coming to pick me

up. Mama went to church, make something for
yourself to eat.”

Bonolo nodded. “Ok.”

Bonolo walked to the room she shared with her

cousin and sat on the bed breathing heavily.
She closed her eyes and all she could think was
that kiss…

She paused then quickly went down on her

knees.
“God forgive be for sinning. Please erase the
thoughts in my head. Let me think of other
things Lord…”

She opened her eyes and sighed wondering why

she had let it even happen. God kne her aunt
had taken her in with open arms and loved her
like a mother.

Bonolo slapped herself wondering why she’d

kiss her cousin’s ex. Someone she considered a
sister. She sat on the bed. Momo walked in.

“Bontle is here. Take… go and do your hair

tomorrow when you finish with your lessons.”

She handed her some money. Bonolo smiled.

“Thank you.”

Momo smiled. “See? Love doesn’t bills. Come

and lock up.”

Bonolo followed Momo to the door and locked

the door while Momo walked to her friend’s
Honda fit parked at the gate.

***

Tefo walked out of his house the following day

in the morning. He fixed his cap then locked his
door.

He turned to walk out just as Osa’s Range Rover

drove in the yard.

She stopped the car and rolled down the

window.

“Get in!”

He looked at her confused. “Ma?”

She leaned over and opened the door for him.

“Get in!”

“You don’t have –“

“Nate..”
He swallowed. “Ma?”

“Get in.”

He got in the car and looked at her not sure

what to say. Osa reversed and drove off.

She looked at him. “O sharp?”

“Eemma.”

She smiled. “Good.”

“You didn’t have to pick me up.”

“I know. Seatbelt.”

He pulled the seatbelt across his chest and

clipped it in.

Osa smiled. “I hope this won’t make you

uncomfortable or scare you but.. I… I have a
crush on you. I like you. I know I am a bit older
so I don’t expect a relationship from you. I am
very straight forward. It’s been a while since I
was last with a man. I am a divorcee. I just need
a good night where I get to feel loved and
wanted. I am sorry if this is making you
uncomfortable in any way. I don’t mind paying if
you want to be paid. It will be a one night thing.”

He looked at her in shock.

“Ma?”

Osa drove through a green traffic light.

“Think about it. You can always say no. I will

still come to Shell.” She smiled then pulled up
on the bus stop before the filling station.

“Bye.”

Tefo got out of her car. Osa drove off joining

the road headed to the bank. Minutes later she
parked her car and took a moment in her car
trying to get herself together.

There was a high possibility of him rejecting her.

She closed her eyes regretfully. She finally
stepped out of her car and walked to her office.

Her PA walked In behind her.

“Good morning Ms Remogo.”

“Hi. Can I please get coffee please.”

“Eemma, your meeting with Mr. D starts in 10

minutes.”

“Ok.”

She sat down and put her handbag down. She

opened her laptop but her mind trailed off. She
pressed her lips together wishing there was a
way to undo it all. She turned and grabbed her
phone calling her friend.

“Osa-“

“I told him I want him. I am so embarrassed. I

wish I can reverse time.”
“What did he say?”

“He looked so confused and shocked. He didn’t

even say anything.”

“Of cause he’d be shocked. It’s not everyday

men get hit on.”

“Dineo mma, ng ng I should have just

masturbated and called it a day.”

Dineo laughed. “Masturbation will never

compare to a hard black dic. Stop thinking
about it. You have nothing to worry about. He
will want you back, wena just wait and watch.
Now you act like you never said anything to him.
Let him wonder. He’s yours. Friend I have to go.
Sharp.”

Her friend hung up. Osa turned on her chair as

her PA walked back in with the coffee.

***

Amo parked her car at her husband’s work

place and walked inside. She walked past the
receptionist headed to his office then opened
walking in.

Tumo looked at her talking on the phone.

“I hear you Mr. Marufu. I will take this back to

the team and revert. Thank you… ok, have a
wonderful day.”
He hung up. Amo put her handbag down
smiling.

“I just spoke to Mr. Akhif. He’s ready to process

the payment.”

Tumo smiled. “I was thinking maybe we give

Tefo at least 100k from the payment. He really
needs some money.”

“100k? That’s too much. Why should he even

get anything?”

“Amo come on. He’s still my brother.”

“100k is a lot. It’s still a lot. At least 30k.”

“From 1.5million? Come on babe.”

“No Tumo. 30k is fine. We need all that money.

We shouldn’t even be giving him anything. That
money is ours. We have a lot to do. We are not
giving him anything more than 30k. I already
spoke to the real estate company. As soon as
Mr. Akhif makes payment, we are buying that
house then we are buying my car. Don’t forget
that we are transferring the kids to better
private schools and that also needs money.”

He sighed. “Ok… I was just—”

“We need the money more than he does. What

problems does Natefo have? Can we just stick
to the plan?”
“Ok.”

He stood up and kissed her. Amo smiled

wrapping her arms around him. He picked her
up and placed her on his desk. She reached
over to his belt then loosened it unzipping his
pants. She took out his dic and stroked him.

He breathed heavily. Amo stroked him till he

was hard then pulled her panty to the side. He
got closer curving his back and slid through.
Amo held his shoulders.

“Make it fast.”

He kissed her and started thrusting into her.

She tightened her muscles gripping his dic.
Tumo grunted as she moved her waist in
circular motions whenever he thrust in.

He held her waist kissing her and went deeper

groaning in her mouth.

15 minutes later Amo walked out headed to her

car. She looked at the time and got in her car
then drove off.

***

Tefo took his phone as he knocked off later that

day then scrolled through his Facebook. He
looked at Momo’s new profile picture.
He blinked looking at her with the new guy, his
eyes getting reddish. Somehow he was failing
to understand just how she could just walk
away like they were never in love before.

He opened the comments and most where from

her friends.

Tefo closed his Facebook with a sigh, his heart

feeling heavier. His friend walked over carrying
his own bag.

“O sharp Tefo?”

“Yeah..”
“Don’t stress yourself. You will find someone
else. There are a lot of woman out there.”

“Sure thanks.”

“Cool, don’t kill yourself.”

His friend walked away just as a Range Rover

drove over. His heart skipping a bit then he
sighed realizing it wasn’t her.

He thoughtfully thought about her offer, he

really had nothing to lose, either way a
distraction would do but would him sleeping
with her make him a prostitute?

Tefo put away his phone stopping a combi then

rushed over and jumped in.

The combi passed by University Of Botswana. A

student stopped it, Tefo looked over as Bonolo
opened the door.

She locked eyes with him then slowly got in and

sat on the seat in front of him.

A while later he stopped the combi and jumped

off the combi paying for the both of them.
Bonolo slowly got out. Tefo closed the door and
walked with her.

“Hi.”

She smiled. “At least you don’t look like you

have been crying today.”

Tefo laughed. “O ta swaba kana Bonolo.”

“Wa nyedisa mojolo gao tshameke.”

He laughed then looked at her new cornrows

his eyes falling on her forehead.

“Mma sekopo.”

Bonolo hit him as he laughed. “Therra ga kena

sekopo.”

“Do you know who you look like?”

She laughed trying to walk faster leaving him
behind. Tefo pulled her hand.

“I am joking.”

She looked at him trying to keep a serious face

but a smile covered her face.

“Don’t start with me.”

“I promise I won’t. It’s a cute forehead.”

“Mxm.”

Tefo smiled. “I am sorry about yesterday. I

would have never done on a normal basis.”
Bonolo smiled. “I know.”

“You do?”

“Yes. I’m probably not your type. Which is ok, I

don’t take offense to that just that I know that
Momo is prettier and also she’s my sister. I am
sorry too.”

He looked at her and smiled.

“That’s not why.”

She turned to him. “No need to lie to me.”

“I am not. I love your cousin but if I had to
compare you and her with looks, she wouldn’t
win.”

Bonolo smiled. “Bye.”

She turned by a passage and hurried off. He

sighed and continued walking to his house. He
called his brother walking.

“Tefo…”

“Hey, how is the sale going?”

“We will hear from him tomorrow. Even if they

process the money it won’t come through till
maybe next week because it’s going to be a lot
of money. You know how banks are.”

“Yeah I know. This is the only thing keeping me

sane.”

“Yeah… I will call you.”

“Sure!”

Tefo hung up and walked to his house. He

slowed down looking at a SUV Benz parked in
front of his door. Osa stepped out as he
approached in what seemed like gym clothes.

She sighed rubbing her hands together.

“I am sorry about what I said. I take it back, I

wasn’t thinking straight… I am really sorry. Ke
ikgalemetsi and-“

Tefo kissed her cutting her mid sentence. Her

heart skipped as he took ownership of her
mouth. Boy knew his way around with that
mouth.

He moved back. “Lock your car and get inside.”

He unlocked his door and opened it. Osa took a

deep breath and pressed the car keys locking it
then walked inside the house.

Osa walked inside the one room. Tefo followed

behind her and closed the door locking it. She
turned to him and watched him put his bag
down. He took off his cap then his shoes. He
looked at her, his eyes burning her skin.

Tefo took off his jacket and threw it on the bed.

She took a deep breath trying to suppress the
urge to touch him and let him kiss her again.
He unbuckled his belt, her clit throbbed
excitedly with anticipation. He removed it while
she stared at him waiting for him to look at her.

Her palms sweated as she wondered if what

they said about tall skinny guys was really true.

He was a bit too skinny but it wasn’t that bad,

his height perfected things. Her mind wondered
off, there was no way he’d be single. He was
handsome and that small beard… Fuvk!

He took off his t-shirt giving her his back. “Ware

o batang?(What do you really want?)”

Her breath hitched. “Huh?”

“You heard me. Don’t make me repeat myself.”

She breathed out watching him take off his

socks.

“I…”

He turned to her and smiled a bit. “Ma?”

She swallowed unable to breathe properly or

even move. God this boy!

“I ..”

He slowly strode over to her and bit his lower lip

looking at her.
“Ke reditse. (I am listening.)”

She looked at his lazy smile, her palms

sweating.

“You…”

“You want me?”

“Ng..”

“I want to hear you talk. Yes or no.”

“Yes.”
“Yes what?” His voice got slightly firmer.

She blinked like a primary school student in

trouble with her teacher. “Yes I want you.”

He smiled widened. God damnit Natefo! She

breathed out heavily and fast.

“Good. I want to hear you talking to me. Am I

clear?”

She fiddled with her fingers behind her

nervously. “Eerra.”

He stood in front of her staring hard at her, his

eyes slowly moved down her body and she
could feel him undress her.
“How exactly do you want me?”

Osa wet her lips. “Just for the night.”

“Osa wee..”

She whispered. “Rra..?”

“That’s not what I asked you.”

“I know.”

“Then answer me.”

“I want you inside me.”

Tefo chuckled then daringly looked at her.

“Undress…”

She started undressing.

“No no… slowly baby… do it slowly.”

She slowly took off her t-shirt followed by her

bra.

He groaned underneath his breath sending

shock waves down to her p*ssy. She looked at
his pants bulging.
“You are gorgeous…”

She looked at him reaching for her tights.

“Nah… I want you to caress your upper body.

Slowly, take your time… pretend it’s me doing
it.”

She nodded then slowly touched herself.

Tefo wet his throat watching her as she took

her breasts into her hands and squeezed
massaging them.

“Twist your nipples.”

She looked at him at twisted both her nipples.

He groaned a little louder that she breathed out
aroused. His eyes and commands alone were
enough to send her body into a wreck as her
knees slowly weakened.

He got closer and leaned over kissing her neck.

“Aww..” Osa moaned softly as her p*ssy juices

trickled down to her panty. He was barely
kissing her but shit!

He touched her breast and grunted in her ear.

“Are you wet for me baby?”

“Mhmmm…”
“I said I want to hear you talk.”

She breathlessly spoke. “Yes.”

His mouth on her neck made her shiver. She

whimpered frozen to her spot.

“Just how wet are you?”

“So wet… I am ready.”

He chuckled. “Are you?”

Her fingers tingled with want and want as she

moaned. “Mhmmm..”
“I don’t fucken speak hum language. Next time
you hum to me I am going to spank you
freaking hard hard! Wa nkutwa?”

“Yes!”

“That’s more like it.”

He dropped kisses down her neck to her chest.

She reached over and touched him.

“Don’t touch me…”

She quickly took off her hands. He licked her

nipple. Osa threw her head back moaning. Just
a lick made her p*ssy throb even more as she
let out another moan.
He looked at her. “A weak spot?”

“Yes..”

He smiled then kissed and sucked then slowly

bit it.

“Ahh ssss… mhmmm..”

He sucked again gently then harder. Osa

reached for his head squeezing her thighs
together. She threw her head back as he
worked on her nipples taking his time with the
torture that she could feel her panty getting
drenched.
His tongue rotated on each nipple then he
suckled.

“Naaaateee…”

He carried on, Osa squeezed her thighs

together even more feeling everything tighten.

“Ahhhh Tefoooo…”

Her p*ssy spasmed as she squeezed her thighs

together.

He smiled and moved back.

“Need a moment?”
“Ng…”

He went round her and spanked hard that she

yelped.

“What did I just say?”

“No humming!”

Tefo switched on his radio and placed a slow

song.

“Take off your shoes.”

Osa kicked off her shoes then took off her

socks exposing her white gel toes. He stared at
her feet imagining all sorts of things.

His eyes went up to her eyes.

“The gym tights… off and slowly. Eyes on me.”

She slowly pulled down the gym tights. Tefo

unzipped his pants. Osa stepped out of the
tights as he took out his dic.

She gasped staring at it. It looked so hard and

thick. He stroked it. She moaned desperately.

“Never come to my house wearing that

underwear ever again.”
“Ng.. yes! Yes!”

“Yes what?”

“I will never come wearing such an underwear

again.”

“Take it off.”

She swallowed and slowly took it off. He looked

at her p*ssy and grunted stroking himself. She
watched his veiny arms then that dic.

What a dic!

Her body heated up.

“Get on the bed… Lie facing up with your feet
stepping on the bed.”

Osa got on the bed following instructions.

“Open your legs… wide.”

She opened her legs somehow feeling shy but

then that weapon in his hand was motivation
enough.

“Part your p*ssy lips.”

She reached over and parted her p*ssy lips. He

looked at her average sized flaps then her
pinkish flesh, her juices going down to her butt.
“I want to see your little hole… open it up for
me.”

She parted everything showing him. Tefo

swallowed grunting.

She was so wet, he slowed down with the

strokes.

“What’s your status?”

“HIV negative. You?”

“I do the asking, you do the answering.”

She nodded unable to think beyond him. “Yes..”

“If you are lying to me, I will tear your fucken

ass do you understand me?”

“Yes, I’m clean I swear.”

He let go them walked over. He took her hands

off and leaned over sucking her juicy p*ssy.

She gasped at the pleasure, her stomach

tightening. She curled her toes, a loud moan
escaping her lips. He parted her flaps with his
tongue and slowly sucked, his tongue going up
to her sensitive clit.

Tefo rolled his tongue right from her ass licking

the juices then sucked on her p*ssy as if a gun
was held to his head.

She closed her thighs unable to handle the

pleasure but he pulled her thighs apartment
eating her out.

She grabbed the duvet losing her mind at the

intensity

Tefo pulled away as her legs started shaking.

She looked at him.

“Tefo please…”

“Please what?”
“I… I am close… therra please. Don’t stop.”

“Not yet… touch your breast.”

She touched her breast, he proceeded kissing

her inner thighs, his mouth went back to her
throbbing p*ssy again just as he pushed two
fingers inside.

He tapped her while sucking her clit. Her juices

flowed out while she moaned louder moving her
waist.

She pressed his head down with foot getting

closer, the pleasure multiplying.

“Nate ahhhhh! Ahh!”

Her body fell into a different world. Her legs
stiffened. She could feel as her orgasm
approaching. He continuously tapped her with
his fingers while sucking on her p*ssy.

She exploded, her body convulsing hard. She

screamed but nothing came out as everything
disintegrated.

Tefo carried on riding the wave then slowed

down. He slid out fingers.

“Taste yourself!”

She pulled his hand and sucked her cum off his
fingers. He grunted, his dic oozing with precum.
He pulled out his fingers and kissed her hard
biting her lower lip hard till she could taste
blood in her mouth.

He pushed her legs to her shoulders stretching

her. Tefo rubbed his hard thickness on her
groaning.

“Fuck you are so wet for me baby…”

“Yes…”

She looked at him feeling him pushing inside.

Her heart raced, she held her breath feeling him
slide all the way in to the end.
She #renoved.

21760943/?ref=share_group_link

His dic jerked deep inside as she orgasmed

again. He followed behind her and stilled inside
filling her up with his thick fertile cum.

He looked at her and kissed her.

“You are so sweet…”

She breathed heavily sweating. Tefo slowly slid

out. He looked at her p*ssy and pushed back
his cum inside her before closing her flaps then
her legs.

“Are you hungry?”

“Mhmm…”

He smiled.

“I will make something to eat then use you for

the rest of the night. Ok?”

“Mhm..”

He chuckled. “You are a pretty thing.”

She slowly smiled. He kissed her and got off

bed grabbing some shorts. She turned to her
side watching him panting tired but satisfied.

Just after 5a.m early morning, Osa staggered

around Tefo’s room as he hammered her from
behind. She could feel her p*ssy burn with every
thrust and this boy wasn’t letting her go. She
stood on her toes trying to limit his depth.

Tefo pulled her hair hard then she came back

down, his dic going deeper.

He drilled her in that position till her p*ssy

spasmed. He filled her up and slid out. Osa
breathed heavily going back to the bed. She laid
on her stomach as her p*ssy throbbed painfully.

Tefo smiled. “I bath in a bucket in here… wanna

bath or you will bath at your fancy house?”

Osa turned her head and looked at the bucket

inside a dish.

“Uh… home..” She whispered. Tefo smiled turn

heated up his water and bathed while she
watched him. She looked at his dic and
goddamn this boy!

A while later he finished dressing up for work.

Osa slowly finished wearing her clothes, every
part of her body aching.

She walked out while he followed behind her

carrying his bag.

She limped. “Do you have a license?”

“Yeah.”

He locked his door and looked at her as she

handed him the car keys.
“Drive.”

He looked at her then looked at the time.

“Sure?”

“Yes.”

She got in at the passenger seat sitting at an

angle adjusting her seat so she could lie down.
Tefo looked at the car keys to the big expensive
car and swallowed. He hadn’t driven in a while.

He closed her door then got In the car. “Shit..”

He touched the steering wheel. “O sure?”

Osa looked at him, his eyes bright with
excitement and a little bit of fear.

“Drive.”

Tefo put on his seatbelt then started the engine.

It purred coming to life. He rubbed his hands
putting it in reverse, his feet on the accelerator
then he lifted the handbrake and reversed out.

He slowed down as a small Honda fit drove

over. It stopped and reversed getting out of the
way. He continued reversing just as Momo
stepped out of the Honda Fit. She looked at the
Mercedes Benz SUV and swallowed looking at
Tefo driving. She tried to get closer but he
continued reversing. He turned the wheels and
sped off joining the main road leaving her
standing.
***

Momo looked at her friend and laughed in

disbelief.

“Mma, Tefo is driving that car.”

Bontle stepped out. “Waaka wena! (You are

lying!)”

“I swear I saw him. I wonder who it belongs to.

Obviously his brother because he’d never afford
such!”

Bontle laughed. “Gongwe his brother gave it to

him.”
“His brother’s wife would never allow that. That
woman hates Tefo with everything in her. She’d
never! He must have borrowed it. He is so
stupid. How do you borrow a car to prove a
point? This is why I will never get back with him.
He’s stupid and childish. Why would he go and
borrow such a car? If he wrecks it he won’t be
able to pay for it.”

Momo walked in the yard taking out the spare

key she had.

She unlocked his door and walked in. She

frowned at the feminine fragrance smelling in
the air. She looked around, his room was in
order as usual but she could smell a woman’s
perfume. She looked at the duvet in the
washing basket then picked it and smelt it.
Momo threw it down. He had been having sex.
She took out his phone to call him as jealousy
raged in her heart.

She clicked her tongue realizing she had

blocked him. She shook her head breathing
heavily and looked in the bin.

No condoms.

She tried to think of the woman he had been

with… who would agree to fucking a fuel
attendant on the first day?

It had to be a prostitute. She unblocked him and

called breathing hard with anger.
His phone went through. It rang for a while then
he finally picked.

“Momo…”

“So you are already sleeping around? You hired

a prostitute? That’s the only woman who can
sleep with you on the first night and not care
that you are nothing but a filling station
attendant!”

“What are you doing in my house?”

“You call this house? This dump of a place ke

yone home? You are pathetic and crazy! Ware
home naare? You are very stupid if you think
you will borrow people’s cars to flaunt around.
Everyone knows what you are, nxla, I am taking
my clothes and I am done with you. I will never
take you back and I hope you know it. You can
never compare to my new man.”

He sighed. “Ok.”

“You are very stupid Natefo! You are an idiot

and this is why you will never prosper in life. I
hope she was worth it and probably gave you
diseases, mxm!”

She hung up breathing heavily pissed off. Her

friend walked in the room immediately smelling
the female fragrance in the air.

“He was with a woman?”

“Can you believe it? The same guy who was
crying for me yesterday. Tefo never loved me, I
don’t care! A tsamaela ko with that street dic!”

Bontle laughed. “Ija take your clothes so we

leave mma.”

Momo angrily took her clothes and walked out

locking the door.

***

Osa looked at Tefo at the private clinic. She

smiled.

“Your girlfriend?”
He turned to her. “Yeah..ex.”

“You broke up?”

He nodded. She looked at him and she could

tell he was hurting. The doctor walked in.

“Ok… let’s start. Want counseling –“

Tefo answered. “No..just test us.”

Osa nodded. The doctor sat down fixing her

gloves

*
Twenty Minutes later

Osa walked out with Tefo.

“Told you I was clean.”

He threw his results in the bag. “Yeah… don’t

pay me. I am not a prostitute. It was just sex,
we both enjoyed it.”

Osa nodded then opened the bottle of water

she had been given inside the doctor’s office
and drank the morning after.

Tefo unlocked the car and they both jumped in.

He drove off as she put on the seatbelt.
“I don’t want to seem like I am prying but… how
did you two break up?”

“I said I do the asking and you do the

answering.”

She kept quiet and looked ahead as he drove.

He parked the car at the usual bus stop and
jumped out..

“Thanks.”

She nodded. He closed the door and walked

away. Osa closed her eyes and laughed alone.
Her p*ssy was still burning.

She moved to the driver’s seat and drove off.

She found herself recalling last night… the dirty
talk, the way he had handled her body

She blushed alone thinking of just how worth

that sleep over had been.

***

That same morning, Tumo smiled looking at the

FNB bank alert. The Indian couple had just
processed the payment. He thought of Tefo.
He’d give him at least P50k. He’d do something
for himself. Tumo thought of the hundred
thousands he was going to have and smiled
happily calling his wife.

***
Momo walked inside her house. She looked at
Bonolo watching TV then smiled.

“Hey… nice hair.”

Bonolo smiled. “Thank you.”

Momo thoughtfully looked at her and smiled.

“Nolo I need a favor.”

“What?”

“Kana Tefo is already hiring prostitutes to

replace me. Can you believe it? If it’s not a
prostitute then it’s probably that neighbor girl
of his I never liked. I want you to go and spy on
him for me. Akere he likes you better? Go there
and pretend to be his friend. I want to know who
he is sleeping with. There’s no way he’d move
on in one day unless he was already cheating
on me.”

Bonolo looked at her cousin.

“Ma?”

“I want you to get close to him and spy on him.”

“Momo no. Why won’t you let him move on?

You have moved on from him haven’t you?”

“Bonolo akere I am nicely asking you. You can

do it today only. I just want to know who he’s
sleeping with.”

“And you think he will just tell me? I am cousins

with the woman who left him he probably hates
us all as a family.”

“Just try. Please do it for me. I paid for your hair,

do this one thing for me. Just go and check up
on him later. Don’t make it too obvious that I
sent you. Badmouth me if you have to. He will
open up to you.”

Bonolo swallowed. “Nna I don’t want to go to

Tefo’s house. Gape why does it matter who he
is sleeping with? It shouldn’t bother you since
you have moved on.”

“Bonolo I am begging you please. Koore why

can’t you ever help me? I gave you money to do
your hair and this is how you thank me? You are
not being fair.”

“I don’t want to stalk-“

“You are not stalking. You are just spying for

one day. Just one day.”
“What will you do with the information then?
Akere you have a new boyfriend Momo?”

“Yes but what I will do with the information is

not your business. Wena tsamaya hela and be
my ears.”

“I am not comfortable with this.”

“You don’t have to be friends with him. Pretend

to be his friend and find out who he is sleeping
with. That’s all you have to do. I am not asking
you to be best friends with him. Just pretend.”

“Kea tshaba. (I am scared.)”

“Tefo is the most harmless person ever trust
me. You will do it later when he knocks off.”

Momo smiled and walked away. Bonolo closed

her eyes for a moment.

In her room Momo picked her boyfriend’s call.

“Hey babe..”

“Where were you last night?”

“I was with Bontle –“

“Didn’t I tell you not to get close to that girl? I
don’t like her and I don’t like it when you go out
at night. What will you be doing there when I am
not with you? O tebe o bata go feba akere? Nna
o ta nyela Maemo! (You want to be a wh.ore
right? I will fuvk you up Maemo!)”

“Richie-“

“The next time you go there or I catch you with

that girl I am going to baptize you with my a
slap. Ga ke bate masepa nna! O seka wa bata
go ntwaela masepa!”

Momo swallowed. “Ok.”

“Ware ok?”
“I am sorry. I won’t go out without you again.”

“You better because ke ta go clapa!”

He hung up. She took a deep breath taking off

her shoes.

***

Tefo finished pouring coolant in a car then gave

the owner the bottle.

“I have poured. Regularly check for water and oil.

It’s smoking.”

The lady behind the wheel smiled. “I have been

meaning to take it to the mechanic.”
“You should do it before it starts giving you
more problems.”

“Thank you.”

She drove off. He looked around and sighed

standing under the sun. Kitso walked over.

“What are you doing tonight?”

“Probably going to sleep.”

“Come on! You need to go out, try and get over

Momo. Let’s go out.”
“No I am good. I am tired.”

“For how long will you cry for Momo?”

“Laitaka you won’t understand.”

Tefo walked to another car and quickly worked

then the man drove off. He looked at the time
and walked to the bathroom grabbing his phone
along the way. He unlocked it then looked at the
FNB bank message.

His heart started pounding as he opened the

message. Tefo wet his lips looking at the 50k
then called his brother.

“Tefo…”
“Hey, you sent me P50k.”

“Yeah…akere I told you big amounts take time? I

need to go to the bank with a few documents
so I thought I’d give you something in the
meantime. I know you really need money.”

Tefo smiled. “You could have just given it to me

all at once but thanks. I won’t use it till I have all
of it.”

Tumo laughed. “Great idea.”

“I am so happy this is happening. I have a plan

ebile.”
“Yeah. Don’t be alarmed when it takes time ok?
I just need to clear things with the bank then
they will let me get hold of the money. When
that happens I will transfer you the rest of it.”

“Thank you.”

“Yeah anytime. Don’t quit your job just as yet.”

Tefo laughed. “I won’t.”

He hung up and smiled then peed. He parked

his dic in his pants just as a message came
through from an unsaved number.

Number: Hi… thank you for last night. It was

amazing. I stole your number when you were
sleeping.

He replied.

Tefo: Welcome.

He walked out of the bath seconds later and put

his phone away and jogged back to the cars.

***

Osa looked at his response and smiled

surprised he had actually replied right there and
then. She called her friend smiling.

“Osa..”
“I did it!”

Dineo laughed. “And?”

“Mma! The way that boy handled my body!

Koore he fucked me like I am teenager and the
dirty talk alone sent me to heaven. I have never
been disrespected in a sexy say before. Ebile I
never knew I loved dirty talk during sex. That
boy had his way with me tsala. Koore he
thoroughly used me till he was satisfied. I even
took a sick leave today because it’s burning!”

Her friend laughed even more. “I told you.”

“I even squirted and it felt so good. He has a

flexible waist and that dic friend.. ijooo! I saw
myself in heaven. That pleasure… no one has
ever made me reach those heights. It was as if I
am a small girl and he was my teacher. My butt
is swollen from the way he was spanking me. I
can’t even think of anything… friend!”

Dineo sighed. “I told you. Now you dispose him

and keep it moving.”

“I don’t think I can move on from the things he

did to me. I don’t think I will ever move on from
him.”

“Osa, don’t get attached. Dispose him. He

probably fuvked you good but the moment you
get attached, he will play you. Trust me.”

Osa squeezed her thighs together with a smile.

“I hear you.”

“Ok, good. Let him go. Now you can focus on

work.”

“Yah..”

Osa hung up and laid on her stomach closing

her eyes.

***

Later that day at the filling station, Kitso walked

to a nice white G-Wagon.
“Dumelang..”

The lady inside looked at him. “Ke bata Tefo. (I

want Tefo.) Is he here?”

“Uh yes.”

Kitso whistled at Tefo then pointed at the car.

Tefo rushed over fixing his cap and smiled.

“Hello…”

“Hi. Tefo right?”

“Eemma.”
She smiled. “I heard a lot about you. I’m Dineo…
Osa’s friend. My friend couldn’t stop talking
about you today and I thought a little taste
wouldn’t hurt anyone. Feel free to charge any
amount you want. I want you to do what you did
to her to me. Lenna I want to take a sick leave
tomorrow.” Dineo smiled. “So how much?”

.

Tefo frowned then looked around trying to see
who was close.

He looked at her. “What the fuvk?”

“3k?”

“Are you serious?”

“Ok 5k. That’s the highest I am going.”

“Good. Take it to the prostitutes you usually go

to.”

Dineo frowned. “I-“

“This should be the last time you talk to me like
that. You don’t know me. O tsela is bokae?”

Dineo swallowed. “P500.”

She took a deep breath as he walked back. He

obviously didn’t seem impressed. She pressed
her lips together wondering if her approach had
been wrong.

He filled up her tank then took the money and

walked away. Seconds later he walked back
with a receipt. She could see just why her friend
was going crazy over the guy. He handed it to
her.

“Thank you for filling up with us today.”

She nodded. “I am sorry I –“ She kept quiet as
he walked away. Dineo started her car and
drove off embarrassed at the rejection.

***

Tefo knocked off an hour later. He called Osa

walking to the bus stop.

“Hey..”

“Who else did you tell that I fucked you?”

“Rra?”

“You heard me!”

“Nate just… what happened?”

“You tell me! You go around telling your friends

that I sleep with people for money!”

“No… I didn’t –“

“So I am lying?”

“You are not letting me talk.”

“I asked you a question Osa!”

“Ke kopa o seka wa nkomanya. (Please don’t

shout at me.) Let me talk please.”
“I said what the fuvk are you going around
telling people?”

She whispered. “Nate please… let me talk.”

“Talk.”

“I didn’t tell anyone I slept with you and paid you.

I told my friend who knew I had a crush on you
that I shot my shot and we did it. I told her how
amazing it was and how I couldn’t stop thinking
about it. That’s all. I never said anything about
money I swear.”

“Well your friend came and offered yourself. Did

you two discuss that?”
“No. Never. I wouldn’t want to share you.”

“I knew this was a bad idea, do you realize you

can jeopardize my job?”

“Nate I am sorry… I didn’t mean for it to get that

far. She’s my friend and she knows I really like
you, I am sorry.”

“Ele gore were you never taught to not run your

mouth?”

“Ng?”

“O seka ware ng ke bua le wena. (Don’t say ng

when I am talking to you.)’
“Ke kopa o seka wa omana. I am sorry. It won’t
happen again. I will talk to her.”

“Let’s just pretend last night never happened.”

“What if I don’t want to pretend it didn’t

happen?”

“That’s your problem, not mine.”

“Natefo-“

“I am done talking.”

He dropped the call as a combi stopped in front

of him.

***

Osa looked at her phone then took a deep

breath trying to calm down.

She called Dineo.

“Chomi-“

“Hey wena o seka ware chomi! (Don’t you dare

say chomi!) What were you doing at Tefo’s
work place?”

“Aow friend-“
“Stop calling me friend! I tell you my things in
confidence and wena you think you can go and
have him behind it back?”

“Akere it was just sex. Friend I just wanted a

taste, it’s nothing hectic. It’s not like I would
have kept him.”

“Ng Ng, Tefo is mine. For you to go and

advertise nywana ya gago ye sosopaganyeng
ele mabowa ke boloi! O ntena gore Dineo! Who
told you could go and talk to him? When did you
see set bring a snake?!”

“Osa-“

“No! I want you far from him. He doesn’t want

you or your wrinkly p*ssy! For you to even offer
him money, koore what are you trying to
happen?”

“Ele gore wena yours-“

“Hey tsek! Don’t ever go to his work place. He’s

so pissed and you are ruining things for me. I
haven’t been happy in a while and wena you are
trying to ruin the small happiness I found. Why?
I didn’t give you the impression that you could
go and talk to him. O seka wa bata go mbora.”

Dineo kept quiet.

“You are supposed to be my friend. Tefo is one

of those things we don’t share.”
“Sorry eeh! Akere I didn’t know you don’t want
to share him.”

“Now you know. Now you know, stay away from

him!”

Osa hung up then tried calling him but he

rejected her call. She started typing but then he
sounded too angry she doubted he’d even
respond.

Osa grabbed her car keys and walked out.

***

Tefo walked through his gate and almost

laughed looking at Bonolo seated by his door
stepped. She stood up and smiled.

“I have been sent to check if you are still crying

or you stopped.”

Tefo laughed. “Why?”

“Because you are not allowed to move on so

fast. It’s a woman’s thing. You won’t
understand.”

“La tsenwa kwa lona.”

She laughed shrugging. “Who are you with now?

I have to give a report. I am supposed to fake
being your friend but that’s just time
consuming. Tell me so I go? I hope it’s not the
next door neighbor. That will really hurt us.”

Tefo unlocked his door and walked in laughing.

He opened his windows. Bonolo stood by the
door.

“Who is it?”

“Should I be happy that you are asking?”

“Not exactly, we just want to make sure it’s no

one prettier than us. I could have just went
home and lied but she really needs to know and
this is your chance to deliver chest pains.”

He laughed. “Your cousin is crazy. How is she

concerned about what I am doing but can post
her new boyfriend?”

Bonolo smiled. “To see you struggling.”

Tefo turned to her. “Tell her I said nothing.”

“Ok. And the car from the morning yone? I need

a believable story.”

“It belonged to my boss.”

She giggled. “Ok.”

“O bata go tsena? (You want to come in?)”

“Ng Ng, o toga o bata go ntobala!”

Tefo looked at her and burst out laughing. “I
thought I apologized for that.”

“You never know.”

He held her hand. “I am serious, I am really

sorry.”

She looked up at him. “It’s ok.”

“O sure?”

“Ng..”

He smiled looking in her eyes. “Ok.”

A car drove in and parked in front of his door.
Bonolo stepped out looking at the Range Rover.
A lady stepped out.

Tefo sighed looking at Osa. She looked at him

then Bonolo forcing a smile. Bonolo smiled
back.

“Dumelang.”

“Hi.”

Tefo turned to Bonolo. “This is my

grandmother’s sister, mme Osa. Mme Osa, this
is Bonolo. A friend of mine.”
Bonolo smiled. “Nice to meet you.”

Osa looked at him then nodded smiling.

“Likewise.”

Bonolo waved at Tefo and walked away. Osa

swallowed.

“Your grandmother’s sister? I am not even that

old.”

“What did you want me to say? And you

shouldn’t just rock up at my house like you pay
rent here.”

She looked at him and nodded sadly unsure of

what to say now that she was there and he was
being arrogant to her. She blinked as tears filled
her eyes.

“Why are you crying?”

She blinked shaking her head trying to pull

herself together but his gaze made her sniff.

“Kare why are you crying?”

“Sepe. I am sorry.”

“I told you to pretend nothing ever happened.”

“How am I supposed to pretend it didn’t happen

when you made me taste all that yesterday?
Nna rra ga nkake ka kgona. (I won’t be able to
do that.)”

“I told you that’s not my issue. Deal with that

alone. I am done, leave.”

“I am not going anywhere Tefo, not after

yesterday. Nna kea gana. (I am refusing.)”

She walked in the house and sat on the bed

folding her arms.

Tefo walked in and looked at her.

“Osa!”

“Rra?” She looked at him submissively with her

hands on her lap.
“Are you refusing to leave my house?”

“I want to sleep here.”

“And do what?”

“Anything you want but I am not going.”

He looked at her serious face and laughed.

Tears filled her eyes then she put her hands on
her face crying.

Tefo watched her as she cried realizing she was

actually not joking. He closed his door silently
and undressed. Osa looked at him keeping
quiet. He put on his sweatpants.

She rubbed her tears and watched him as he

started cooking. A while later he dished for her.

“Are you hungry?”

“Yes.”

“Why were you crying? Did someone beat you?”

She shook her head.

“What did I say about you not talking?”

“Sorry.”

“This was supposed to be a one stand thing. I

don’t even understand why you are crying. We
discussed it then wena you decide to go and tell
your friend. I will give you a proper reason to cry.
You will not come into my life to complicate it.”

“I shouldn’t have told her anything. I am sorry.”

“Why were you crying?”

“Ne o nkomanya. (You were shouting at me.)”

He handed her the plate. She looked at the

spaghetti Bolognese in her plate and swallowed
picking the fork. She noticed him looking at her,
he looked away sitting on the couch taking out
his phone and pressed it eating.

Osa finished eating then stood up and took his

empty plate from him and sat on the small stool
doing the dishes. He watched her silently. She
finished up then undressed and got under the
duvet.

She closed her eyes for a while he later felt him

get on the bed behind her after switching off
the light. She waited in silence, minutes went by
then he finally pulled her closer with her waist.

Osa relaxed her body, there was no way she’d

stop him from doing what he wanted with her.

“Turn around.”

His voice in the dark sounded so sexy and deep

and husky, she quickly turned. His hand found
her throat then he pulled her kissing her, his
mouth commanding total control.

Osa held his arm as he kissed her more then he

let go and kissed her jaw. His lips brushed her
skin softly sending goosebumps all over.
She breathed heavily, he moved his mouth
further down. She moved her head exposing her
neck.

He sucked on her neck. Osa let out a breathless

moan clenching her p*ssy muscles.

Tefo squeezed her breast with his cold hands.

He moved down, his hands going to her butt
then squeezed her before turning her making
her lie on her back.

Her went on top of her, Osa caressed his

shoulders feeling his dic thick and hard on her
thigh. Her breathing got heavier as he got
between her legs. He moved his waist rubbing
his dic on her panty. She opened her legs more
moving underneath him, the friction messing
with her mind.
He moved her slightly and pulled her panty to
the side. Tefo slipped his fingers between her
wet p*ssy lips and gently rubbed till she was
shaking.

He pulled his fingers and pressed the tip of his

dic down pushing in.

She moaned holding on to him tightly, her legs

around his waist.

She breathed heavily underneath him, her body

ready for his usage. He kissed her sinking
deeper. Osa moaned in his mouth feeling every
bump of his erect dic inside her. She moved her
head.
Tears filled her eyes, there was no way he
expected her to carry on with life like he wasn’t
there carrying that magic stick between his legs.

“Tefoo…”

She shivered underneath him, she wasn’t sure

what it was but the pleasure had her emotional.

He pressed her down thrusting into her. Deep

and slow then it was deep and fast till her body
tensed followed by an uncontrollable orgasm.
He carried on pounding into her grunting in her
ear.

Tefo bit her neck as his dic spewed his cum

inside her.
He kissed her shoulder and slid out. Osa blinked
in the dark tired then slowly fell asleep.

Bonolo finished reading then closed her books.

Momo walked in.

“So?”

Bonolo sighed. “What?”

“Who is he sleeping with? Mama is sleeping,

you can tell me.”

“I don’t know who it is but I don’t think it’s

anyone.”
“Was he sad?”

“He was crying. He wouldn’t stop crying. He’s

hurting and wants you back.”

Momo smiled. “I know. Akere he won’t take the

hint that I don’t love him anymore. Did you ask
him about the car?”

“He said it belonged to his boss but I think it’s

for his grandmother’s sister.”

“Who?”

“Before I left his grandmother’s sister came.

She’s a very beautiful fancy woman. She
doesn’t look old, she’s so pretty.”

“I didn’t know his grandmother had a sister.”

“Surprise then.”

“So you think he borrowed her car?”

“Yes, maybe.”

“He is so desperate it’s sad.”

“But he also looks like he will get over you

soon.”

“He is going to be crying forever. I know him.”

Momo’s phone rang.

“Hey…”

“I am outside, let’s go.”

Momo smiled and hung up. “I will see you

tomorrow. Bye.”

Momo hurried out going to the car in her bum

shorts and a top. She smiled looking at her
boyfriend’s car, his white Golf was so nice she
loved it when she sat at the front seat while he
drove.

She jumped in the car. “Hey..”

“I called you in the afternoon. Why didn’t you
pick?”

“I did call backs. I was cleaning.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I missed you so much.”

Richie looked at her and drove off. He rubbed

his head.

“You told that friend of yours to keep her

distance?”
“Babe Bontle is my best friend. You need to
calm down. She is harmless and nice. You need
to relax because –“

Richie gave her a back slap so hard her cheek

went numb.

Momo touched it then looked at him. He

stopped the car.

“Get out! If you think I will entertain a whore you

are mistaken. I will fix you till you are in line. Do
you understand me? If you don’t want to be
committed you can walk off. I am not going to
keep reminding you who I am.”

Tears filled her eyes. “I am sorry.”

“You better be!”

He joined the road and drove off while she

rubbed her cheek.

***

The following day Osa walked out of the house.

She turned to Tefo.

“I can drove you off.”

“I’m good.”

“I am sorry about yesterday.”

“Yesterday should be the last time you thought
you can just come to my house unannounced."

“Ok.”

“Bye.”

He hung up walking away. Osa smiled happily

then jumped in the car and drove off. Tefo’s
phone rang as he walked back in the house.

“Hello?”

“Hi, it’s Akhif. I just wanted to confirm you

received all the payment for the plot. Your
numbers were on the agreement.”
Tefo frowned. “Who?”

“Akhif, I just bought a farm from you. I’ve trying

to call your uh brother but the phone is busy.
Did you see the bank notification? 1.6 million,
you were supposed to get back at me.”

Tefo looked at his phone and put it back in his

ear.

“1.6 million?!”

“Yes.”

“Let me call my brother. I will call you right

back.” Tefo hung up and called his brother.
“Tefo..”

“Yeah… how much did the farm go for?”

“Oh .. 500k because the farm is a mess.”

“I thought you said 1 million.”

“They refused. We settled on 500k.”

Tefo chuckled. “Really?”

“Yeah and we are still waiting. Stop calling me

every minute Tefo. I said I will call you didn’t I?
You will get that money! Stop it with the calls!”
“I just spoke to a man named Akhif who bought
the farm. He said he paid 1.6 million. You have
till tomorrow afternoon to process 800k into my
bank account or else I will contest the sale and
actually sue you. I am not stupid Tumo. You
seem to forget that a lot.”

.

“Process how much? Do you even know how to

write that money? I already gave you 50k. That’s
all you are getting. That’s all you are ever
getting! You should be grateful I even gave you
something. You signed a contract signing away
the farm to me. Everything from it is mine. You
remember that document you signed, I will send
you a PDF of it. Read every sentence word by
word, if you don’t understand call me so I can
translate for you. Gongwe o ta thaloganya
bothoka.”

Tumo hung up and sent the PDF. Tefo opened it

and started reading.

His heart pounded as he read through, his

knees getting weak. He sat down on his bed
looking at his signature.

Tumo called him back.

“Do you understand now? You gave away the
farm to me so whether I give you P1.00 or
nothing at all, it’s out of the goodness of my
heart. Tefo you will never be smarter than me.
Never. You will never be on my level.”

“Why? That farm belonged to the both of us.

Why?”

“I need that money more than you do. I need a

bigger house, my kids need to go to better
schools, I have done loans that need getting
paid. It’s a lot that you wouldn’t understand.
Your problems can be solved with a mere 50k
so I don’t understand what you are so pressed
about.”
“You made me sign without reading! You
scammed me, your own brother? So this is what
you have turned to?”

“The bottom line is that you signed the

document. Even if you do not read all the terms,
your signature legally verifies that you agreed to
giving me your share of the farm.”

“You are not going to get away with this-“

“I already have. I gave you 50k Tefo. Do

something with it. Bye!”

Tumo hung up. Tefo put his hands on his face

feeling as if his world was crushing down and
there was nothing he could do about it.
He tried getting up but sat down feeling dizzy.

***

Tumo tied his shoe laces. Amo walked in the

bedroom.

“Let’s go. I am ready.”

Tumo grabbed his wallet and walked out with

her. Amo took a few selfies with him and
posted them. She smiled.

“Waitse babe I was telling Ludo that I am going

to Mauritius for a vacation next week, she
couldn’t believe me. Kana she thinks she’s the
only one who can afford such things.”
They both got in the car then he smiled kissing
her. “She can now stop looking down on you.”

Amo smiled. “I am so excited gore. Have you

spoken to Tefo?”

“Yeah, I just did. Mr. Akhif called him by mistake

and told him.”

Amo turned to him. “What’s he saying now?*

“He was talking about contesting the sale.”

“But he signed a contract.”

“Yes. He can’t do anything..”

“I am so happy baby wee. Waitse I keep

checking my bank balance so I can see this
money.”

Tumo smiled. “We just need to have a full plan

on what we are going to do with the money.”

“I know but just seeing it… nkare nka screamer.”

Tumo drove to the mall. Amo stepped out and

walked inside to do her vacation shopping.
Tumo’s phone vibrated ringing. He looked at
Tefo calling and cut the call then followed his
wife inside the mall.
***

Later that morning, Osa walked inside her office

holding her flask of coffee. She looked at Dineo
who was already in her office waiting. Osa
looked at her getting bored.

“What do you want?”

Dineo stood up and looked at Osa who was

fixing the scarf around her neck.

“I am sorry. I didn’t know he was off limits. Had

I known I wouldn’t have even went there. I
thought you were done with him. I feel very
embarrassed. Even the way he rejected me. Ke
thabiwa ke dithong. I am sorry.”
Osa sat down. “Even if it were like that you
should have asked me first. I don’t what you
were trying to do but it left a bitter taste in my
mouth.”

“I am sorry. Please…”

“There is nothing I can say. I simply have to be

careful around you.”

“Osa… akere mma I am apologizing. I didn’t

know he was supposed to be off limits. Sorry.”

Osa took a deep breath. “Its ok. You almost

cost me a lot.”

“What did he say?”

“He was really upset. Nate o bogale gore. You
don’t just talk, he gets irritated fast. I have to
think of what I am going to say to him before I
say it to him.”

“I noticed. Even the way he spoke to me.”

“You need to stay away from him. You should

never go to that filling station.”

“I hear you. What happened to your neck?”

“Nothing. I can’t tell you anything anymore

because you have proven you have what it
takes to be a snake.”
“Aoww mma…”

“Yes ebile Nate even asked if I was never taught

to not run my mouth. Close the door on your
way out.”

Dineo took her bag and walked out. Osa took

out her compact mirror and looked at her neck.
Her foundation trick hadn’t worked the way she
thought it would. She touched the bite marks in
her neck and smiled fixing her scarf making
sure it covered her entire neck.

She took out her laptop sipping on her coffee.

She paused thinking of him, a smile covering
her face as butterflies flew in her stomach.

She closed her eyes trying to get serious but

then that smile. She bit her lower lip getting lost
in her thoughts.

The door opened, she quickly snapped out of it

putting on her business face looking at her PA.

***

Bonolo walked out of the house holding her bag

going to university. She looked over as Momo
walked through the gate wearing a tracksuit
with a cap.

Bonolo frowned as her cousin got closer.

Momo smiled.

“Hi…”
She looked at Momo’s swollen lips then her
half closed left eye that had turned purplish.

“What happened to you?”

“Richie and I were attacked yesterday by thieves.

They stole our phones but he got me a new
phone today.”

She showed Bonolo her brand new iphone.

“What did the police say?”

“They are looking for the thieves. Richie tried to

fight them but they were 4. I was refusing with
my phone when one of them started beating me
but at least I have a new phone. He even gave
me some money to spend. He’s very
considerate.”

Bonolo forced a smile. “Yeah..”

“Bye.”

Momo walked inside the house as Bonolo went

to the gate.

Inside the house Momo walked to her room.

She took off her cap and looked at herself on
the mirror. Her new phone vibrated ringing.
“Babe..”

“Hey, are you ok?”

“Yes.”

“I am sorry about last night. Just that you stress

me out.”

“I know. I am sorry.”

“It’s ok. I forgive you. I will send you later. Try

and apply some makeup to cover everything
up.”

“Yes.”
He hung up. Momo sniffed then took out the
money he had given her.

At the filling station, Kitso watched as Tefo

filled up a car. From a distance he could see
Tefo’s mind wasn’t there. He looked at the
numbers and rushed over.
“Tefo! P200!”

Tefo quickly stopped realizing he had poured

petrol worth P250 instead..

“Shit!”

“Are you ok?”

“Yeah .. ke sharp.”

He finished up with the customer who seemed

unbothered that he had poured more as she
paid just the P200. He smiled then she drove
off. He walked to the counter taking out a P50
from his pocket and paid.
Kitso sighed looking at Tefo’s face.

“You are not ok. Keng? Maemo?”

“No. I feel a little sick but I will be fine.”

“Your mind is not here. At least we are knocking

off.”

“Yeah.”

Thirty minutes later Tefo took his bag and

walked to the bus stop but there was no combi
at sight. He started walking down the road
getting lost in his thoughts.
His phone rang, he took It out and picked.

“Hello?”

“Hi. Can I come over tonight? I won’t sleep there.

Uh I got some food. Is that ok?”

“No. I’m good.”

“Ok… I forgot my watch at your house.”

“I want to be alone tonight. You will collect it

tomorrow.”

“Are you ok? You sound… not you.”

“I am fine. Don’t come to my house. I need my
space. Ga ke bate stress.”

He hung up then turned stopping a combi.

***

Later that evening, Osa slowly drove in Tefo’s

yard. She parked her car and stepped out
wondering what his neighbors thought of her
night visits.

She knocked on the door for a while then tried

opening it.

The door opened, she took a deep breath ready

to face him and walked inside his house. She
looked at him lying across the bed in his work
uniform. He even had his shoes on.

“Nate! Nate!”

Osa shook him but he wouldn’t wake up.

“Natefo!”

She turned him and looked at his face, her heart

skipping.

She opened his fridge and took out the bottle

with cold water.

She poured it on his face. He gasped jumping.

Osa moved back.
Tefo looked at her. “What?!”

“You were not waking up.. I was getting scared.

I am sorry.”

Tefo rubbed his eyes looking at her then tried to

get up but felt too dizzy. He laid down looking
at the ceiling.

Osa went closer. “You don’t look ok. You scared

me.”

He sighed. “I told you not to come.”

“I called you a few times, ne o sa arabe. I just

wanted to say goodnight.”
He swallowed. “You need to go. There’s nothing
I can give you. Ke motho hela and ke rwele
mathata a mantsi. (I have a lot of problems.)
Just go to your house and do what you were
doing before me. I have a lot on my plate.”

He spoke so calmly.

“I never I wanted anything. I just… I… I wanted to

say goodnight.”

He smiled and chuckled. “Ok good night.”

She blinked. “Ok.”

“This is part where you leave.”

“You can talk to me if you want..”

“You won’t understand..”

“Try me.”

He put his hands on his face and breathed out

heavily.

“Go.”

Osa took off his shoes and socks. She put them
away and unzipped his jacket. Tefo looked at
her.

He sat upright and pulled her closer with her

waist
“I just got cheated in my three year old
relationship. She’s ran off with a better man
who has money. I have other personal issues
bothering me I don’t think I can even have an
erection today. The hope I had to a better life
has crumbled down. I just need to sleep and
you woke me up.”

“I am sorry… I want to be there for you.”

“There is nothing you can do to help the

situation.”

She cupped his face. “Try me.”

Tefo kissed her. “Go-“

“Tell me. What’s bothering you?”

“When my father passed away he left my older

brother and I a farm. His farm. It’s huge. It
belonged to his father. My brother approached
me two days ago or so saying he’s thinking of
selling it. He made great points and I could
really do with a cash flow. He told me he was
selling it for a million and brought some
documents that I signed. He didn’t let me read…
I don’t want to say he tricked me into signing
but he didn’t give me the chance to read. He
said it was me approving the sale. He sent me
50k yesterday and said he’d send the 450k later
once he cleared things with his bank. Today
when you left an Indian guy called me asking if I
had seen the bank notification of the 1.6 million
he sent for the farm. I called my brother and
apparently the document I signed was me
giving away my share to him so he’s not
obligated to give me anything.”

Osa looked at his sad face. Tefo laughed. “He

sent it to me and I really did sign my share away.
How stupid can I be?”

“Let me see it.”

He unlocked his phone and showed her. Osa

read through.

“I can’t do anything about it… I share the same

blood with this guy.”

She saved her number in his phone and

forwarded herself the document over Whatsapp
before giving him back his phone.

“I am sorry. This is a legally binding document

that you signed but you can argue that you were
tricked into signing it. You won’t get half of
what he got but you can get a bit more than he
gave you. We just need to prove that you were
tricked into signing it, there were no witnesses
so it’s your word against his. I have a lawyer
friend who can help. He owes me so he can
advise on what to do next.”

“No, let me handle it on my own.”

“I am sorry Nate.”

He sighed. “Tonight I need space. Go home.

Goodnight.”
He got off bed and opened the door wider
rubbing his eyes.

“Go home.”

Osa nodded. “You can call me if you need

anything tonight.”

“I will be fine.”

She kissed him and walked out. Tefo closed the

door and locked it.

Osa got in her car and drove off calling her

lawyer.
“Hello?”

“Hi, sorry for calling so late. I have a friend of

mine who signed an agreement giving away his
share of a farm, he was tricked into signing, the
farm was sold yesterday I think and he’s not
getting anything. I am forwarding you the
agreement, take a look and tell me what we can
do to reverse or at least get him a certain
percentage of the money it was sold for.”

“Ok. I will talk to you tomorrow.”

“Thanks.”

***
Tefo finished preparing for work the following
morning. He walked out picking a call.

“Osa..”

“Hi, my lawyer just called me. I sent him the

agreement.”

“Didn’t I say I will handle it?”

“Listen. Please. There are three names to that

farm. You, your brother and a Nthabiseng David.
Who’s that?”

“My mother.”

“Unfortunately you can’t get anything from the

sales but your mother can get half or contest
the sale all together.”

Tefo slowed down. “Really?”

“Yes. Your brother can actually get arrested for

selling it without her permission. Just call her,
my lawyer can draft up something.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Call her. This is your chance.”

Tefo dropped the call and called his mother.

“Hello?”
“Hello? Mama ke Tefo.”

“Duba, I am so happy you called today.”

“How are you?”

“I am fine my boy. How are you?”

“Ke sharp. I need to tell you something.”

“What?”

***

Tumo walked out of his house holding his car

keys that same morning. He unlocked his car as
his phone rang then he took it out. Tumo took a
deep breath in picking his mother’s call.

“Hello?”

“So you decided to sell my husband’s farm?

Koore and eat the money with your wife.”

“No one was helping me maintain that farm.”

“Oh well let tell you something papa, my names

are on that farm. From here I am going to the
police to report you. You have committed a
crime. O ta imentioner.”

“So Tefo ran to you? All the times I’ve helped

him he-“

“This has nothing to do with Tefo. I am going to

report you for selling my property without my
permission. You and your wife are going to jail.
Ke heditse.”

His mother hung up. Amo walked out and
looked at him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Mama called. Tefo ran to report to her.”

“Akere I told you! Your mother hates seeing us

happy. Why would she be angry about an issue
that has nothing do with her? It’s not like she
was staying at that farm. She long moved from
Shakawe going to Kanye. Ga bate go bona re le
happy mmaago! (Your mother doesn’t want to
see us happy.)”

He rubbed his forehead. “She’s going to the

police. She may actually get us arrested. I need
to talk to her, offer her something.”
“This is why I hate your mother. You should
have long cut her off because wa lowa mmaago.
Mxm.”

Amo stamped in the house pissed. Tumo

followed after her. “We can offer maybe 100k.”

Amo glared at him. “Tumo ware 100k? O dirang

ka 100k? Go and talk to her, 30k is fine. We
have made plans with that money.”

Tumo hugged her. “Baby… can you just calm

down? We have more than enough. Let me give
her something. We don’t want this to go any
further than this because you and I will go to jail
trust me. Do you want to go to jail?”
She pouted her lips folding her arms.

“Is that what you want? No one is going to take

care of our kids. Not your sisters , not my
mother or brother.”

“Just 100k.”

“Just 100k.”

He kissed her. “I will go to Kanye right now. We

will be fine.”

He kissed her and walked out going to his car.

Tumo reversed out calling his brother.

“What?”
“So you ran to your mother?”

“O seka wa mpuisa marete mister. I hope you

enjoy Mauritius from a jail cell. You think you
can scam me out of my own property? Let’s
see who’s smarter than who.”

“You are stupid and I will show you why.”

He hung up pissed off and sped off.

***

Momo looked at her swollen eye and took a

deep breath putting on sunglasses. She walked
out of her room. Her mother looked at her.
“Ware what happened to your eye Maemo?”

“I told you we were robbed akere? Richard is

coming to pick me up. We will buy groceries on
our way back.”

“Does he beat you?”

“Beat me? Richard loves me!”

Her phone started ringing. Maemo sighed.

“Kea tsamaya. (I am going.)”

“I want to talk to him.”

“Mama-“

“If you two were attacked then I should think

he’s also hurt.”

“Mama are you trying to accuse my boyfriend of

hitting me?”

“Who said anything about him beating you? I

said I just want to talk to him.”

Mmagwe Momo walked out going to the car

parked at her gate. Momo followed after her.

Richard stepped out of the car and smiled

respectfully. “Dumelang.”
Mmagwe Momo carefully looked at him.
“Momo said you two were attacked. Her eye is
swollen, her lips are swollen. I want to see
where they hurt you.”

Richard nodded. “I managed to fight off one. By

the time I went to help her the two thieves were
already beating her. I had a conversation with
Momo about fighting thieves. She could have
died over a phone that can always get replaced.
The road we used that night was really bad.
Those guys even took my laptop and right now
my bosses need answers.” He spoke so
sincerely.

“I have never beat any of my girls before. I just

don’t like seeing my daughter like that.”
Richard nodded. “I told Momo that kana no one
will understand we were both attacked.
Everyone will see her and automatically think I
hurt her. Lenna I failed her as a man. I should
have done better to protect her. Ke paletswi and
kgang ya teng gae nthobatse. I could have been
a man and –“

“No my son. Please if this happens next time

don’t fight off thieves. They will kill you because
they don’t care.”

“Eemma. Uh here is a little something. Momo

told me you were waiting for your pension
money to do your grocery.”

He took out P1000 pula and handed it to her

respectfully. Mmagwe Momo looked at the 5
two hundred pula notes, her heart skipping.
“O sure my boy?”

“Eemma. You need food. Please do the

shopping.”

She happily took the money and looked at

Momo.

“Bathong thank you. Thank you my boy. Thank

you so much.”

Momo smiled as her mother put the money in

her bra.

“Ok, let me not keep you waiting. You can go.

Momo bye.”
Mmagwe Momo walked in her yard as Momo
got in the car with Richard. He looked at her as
she silently put on the seatbelt.

“Did you tell her anything?”

“No.”

He sighed. “Are you still angry?”

“No.”

“Then why are you not smiling? I don’t

understand why you called your ex when you
said you broke up with him. You had no reason
to call him! You pushed me to hurt you. I never
wanted to hurt you because I love you.”

Momo smiled. “I know and I understand. He’s

not going to be an issue moving forward.”

Richard kissed her and drove off squeezing her

thigh.

Momo smiled, at least now there wouldn’t be

any more issues.

***

Tefo opened his locker at the filling station. He

looked at his phone then sighed calling Osa.

She picked after the first ring. “Hi.”

“Hey. O busy?”

“No… are you ok?”

“Yeah, I just wanted to say thanks.”

“You can say it then.”

“Thank you.”

“You are welcome.”

“Ok bye.”

“Nate…”
“Yeah?”

“Uh…” She breathed out nervously. “It’s ok.

Sharp.”

“Bye.”

He hung up and put his phone away starting his

shift.”

***

In Kanye, Tumo opened his mother’s door and

walked inside. Mmagwe Tumo walked from her
bedroom.
“Who said you could come in?”

“I am sorry for selling the plot without telling

you. I am in serious debts. If I don’t pay for
them then I am going to get arrested. I knew
you wouldn’t say yes if I told you.”

“I don’t care. You sold my property without

telling me, you tricked your young brother too.
Tumo do you realize that the woman you
married is coming between you and your family.
Koore she’s taught you witchcraft. We are your
family! You were never like this till she came
along.”

“Amo is my wife and I love her. She’s not going

anywhere!”
“Ehe… so you now can raise your voice at me. I
am calling the police. I was going to go there
personally but you are an intruder right now!
You have broken into my house. After selling
my husband’s farm you now budge into my
house.”

She took her phone and dialed 999. Tumo

snatched the phone from her hand.

“O bata go mpitsa? (Do you want to hit me?)”

“You will get 100k.”

“I don’t want any money from you. Go and

return those people’s money because nna I am
not selling! I am calling for help, I don’t know
what you are trying to do. You are going to jail.”
Mmagwe Tumo walked the door screaming.

“Thusang, legodu! (Help me, a thief!”

Tumo pulled her hand and put his hands on her

neck strangling her. Mmagwe Tumo gasped
trying to pull his hands but he pushed her
against the wall exerting all his strength
strangling her.

Forgive me, there is our bonus. Let's do 10k

likes and 700+comments for an apology bonus.

Tumo tightened his hold on her cutting off her

airway completely. Mmagwe Tumo tried
scratching him fighting but he overpowered her
breathing heavily. She slowly stopped fighting
but he tightened his hold till her entire body
weakened.

Tumo walked out of the house a while later. He

looked around then jumped in his car and drove
off. He took his ringing phone and picked.
“Babe…”

“What is she saying?”

“I didn’t find her. I am trying to call but I think

she’s angry. I am on my way back.”

“What if she is at the police station?”

“She just wanted to scare me into giving Tefo

more money. I will talk to her. You have nothing
to worry about.”

“I am now stressed. Will we even make it for our

trip?”

“We will make it. Stop stressing. I will talk to her.

This is my mother we are talking about. She will
understand.”

“I hope so Tumo.”

“We will be fine.”

He hung up then breathed out opening his

windows. His frowned feeling as if his
intestines were knotting. He drove for a while
then stopped on the side of the road and
stepped out vomiting. He grabbed a bottle of
water and took a sip rinsing his mouth before
spitting out the water.

Tumo got back in the car rubbing his forehead.

He badly wanted to go back but it was probably
too late. He joined the road headed back to
Gaborone sweating. He tried to think of who he
could call to go and check up on her but nothing
came to mind. He stepped on the accelerator
speeding away. There was no way he was going
to go back…

***

In Gaborone hours later, Osa walked out of her

office after knocking off. She got in her car and
drove off calling her lawyer.

“Osa…”

“Hi, did you work in something?”

“Yes but I need your friend’s mother’s full

details. You do know this is not free right?”

“Yes. I will sort out the bill.”

“Ok. Just get me the details and I will send out

the letter.”

“Thank you.”

Osa hung up and called a beauty spa.

“Hi, I am coming for my nails and waxes. In

thirty minutes, is that ok?”

“Eemma we will see you then.”

She drove to the filling station and stopped her
car. She raised her head and watched as his
colleagues whistled at him. He turned and
looked at her with a slight frown.

Osa hooted and sat properly as he walked over.

She quickly spoke before he could.

“Please fill up my tank. Kea swiper.”

He looked at her. “Wareng?”

“I need petrol. Please hurry up, I have

somewhere to be.”

Tefo moved from her window and filled up her

tank. He walked back to the cashier and came
back with the swiping machine. Osa looked at
his zip smiling then quickly looked away as he
turned to her putting on a serious face.

“Here…”

She took the machine and paid then handed it

back.

“Thank you.”

She started her and drove off. Tefo watched her

car as it disappeared into the traffic.

Kitso looked at him. “Today she is not into

you?”
Tefo laughed. “Ahh I don’t know. I told you she
was never into me.”

He put back the machine and walked to another

car. He paused laughing alone. The man in the
car laughed.

“O tshegang chief? (Why are you laughing?)”

Tefo shook his head. “Ke bereka go makala

hela. (It’s just shock.)”

“Are gorileng baby girl wa koloi yele? (What was

the lady with that car saying?) Ke mmone a
smiler when you were grabbing that machine.”

Tefo chuckled. “Ga kitse nna. (I don’t know.)”

“Waaka kwa! (Lies!) That smile was not a
regular smile, she knows what she was smiling.
La go ja bo mmarona lona! (You are going to
sleep with our mothers.)”

Tefo laughed even more. “We are not stingy so

why not if she wants it.”

“Tsela 150 sir, o ta re kgolega.”

Tefo filled his car and took the money. The

customer bumped his shoulder.

“Ya wina team.”

Tefo walked away laughing as the customer

drove off.

Tefo carried on working for another hour before

he knocked off. He unlocked his phone and
opened his Whatsapp. He opened the message
she had sent.

Osa: Hi, the lawyer says he can send your

brother a letter. Free of charge for now. You will
pay him once you get what belongs to you.

Tefo called her.

“Rra?”

He paused at her tone. She sounded relaxed.

“Hi, thank you. He can send his bill so I pay him
as we go. I hope he’s not too expensive.”

“No. He’s not. It will be part of consultation. If

you want you can give me the money then I give
it to him.”

“Send me his number so I directly talk to him. I

don’t want funny stories in the future when you
start claiming things.”

“I wouldn’t do that but I understand. I will give

you his number.”

“Sure.”

***
At the beauty spa’s parking lot, Osa held her
phone.

“Nate…”

“What?”

She bit her lower lip. “O ja eng gompieno? (What

are you eating today?)”

He laughed. “Dijo. (Food.)”

“Oh..”

“Gorileng? Ne o bata ke ja eng? Wena? (What is

it? What did you want me to eat? You?)”

She blushed. “If you want to.”

“If I want to what?”

“Put me on the menu.”

“You do understand what this is right?”

“Eerra.”

“Good. I’m going through something so to me

it’s just what you are getting.”

“Should I come?”
“O kae?”

“At the beauty spa, I am about to wax.”

“Don’t wax..”

She bit her lower lip. “Ok. Should I come now?”

“I am going home.”

“Can I pick you up?”

“Ok but I don’t want to wait for too long.”

“I am coming now.”
She started the engine and reversed cutting the
call. The called the spa.

“Hi, I have an emergency. I have to cancel. I will

schedule for next week.”

Osa sped off.

***

Tefo waited pressing his phone. His mother’s

call came through.

“Mama…”
“Tefo it’s the neighbor. Something has
happened, you need to come to Kanye right
now!”

“What happened?”

“It’s your mother…. She’s dead.”

.

“It’s your mother. She’s dead.”

Tefo frowned. “What?”

Someone took the phone. “Hello Tefo, ke

mmagwe Fenyang. She’s not dead but we have
rushed her to the hospital because we found
her unconscious. She was not moving. We are
waiting for the doctor to come out and give us
an update.”

Tefo swallowed. “I’m coming there.”

“Please come now.”

Tefo hung up looking around. Minutes later Osa

pulled up next to him. Tefo jumped in.

“I am going to Kanye. My mother is not well.

Drop me off at-“

“I will drive you there. It’s faster and quicker.

You sound panicked.”

“She’s never sick.”

Osa drove off.

***

Tumo stared at his phone waiting for the phone

call but no one had called him yet.
Amo walked from behind him and touched his
shoulder startling him.

“Are you ok?”

“Yeah I’m good.”

“You have been quiet since you came from

Kanye.”

“I am waiting for her call.”

“She won’t call. Maybe you’d have to go back

there tomorrow in the morning. Catch while
she’s still at home.”
“Yeah.”

Tumo’s phone rang, he quickly reached for it

but it wasn’t who was expecting it to be.

“It’s work. I will get back them tomorrow.”

Tumo cut the call then called his mother

instead. Her phone rang unanswered. Maybe no
one had found her yet.

Amo sighed. “Ok. I am going got the ladies

night out. I will see you later or early morning.
Bye.”

She kissed him and walked out.

Tumo rubbed his forehead wondering if
someone would find her tomorrow. He still
wasn’t sure why he had strangled her when he
could have just walked out.

***

In Kanye, Tefo rushed inside the hospital

leaving Osa in the car. Mmagwe Fenyang stood
up.

“Tefo…”

“Where is she? What happened to her?”

“We went there for the church meeting. We

knocked for a while but she wasn’t opening
neither was she answering our calls and that’s
when we tried to open the door. It opened, we
walked in she was sleeping on her couch. I tried
to wake up but she wouldn’t wake and that’s
when I called for help and she was brought here.
I don’t know what could have happened to her.
She was fine in the morning. I even spoke to
her.”

“Where is she? Is she ok?”

Mmagwe Fenyang pointed at a door. Tefo

hurried over, his heart beating so fast and hard.
He opened the door and walked in. The doctor
looked over.

“Good evening –“
“Where is my mother? I’m Natefo David, her son.

“Oh… please come in and close the door behind

you.”

Tefo looked at her. “Just tell me where she is.”

“I am so sorry Mr David. By the time she was

brought in, she was long dead and there was
nothing we could do.”

Tefo looked at her fir a while but she didn’t say

anything then he laughed. “Is that a joke? I
spoke to her in the morning. She was ok. What
are you talking about?”

“She is no more. I am really sorry. From our

results it shows that she died hours before she
was brought in from asphyxiation. Lack of
oxygen intake to the brain.”

“I want to see her.”

“Mr –“

“I want to see her!”

She nodded.

A nurse walked with him inside a room at the

hospital. She pulled a sheet showing him his
mother’s face.
Tefo froze looking at her. She wasn’t moving or
breathing. He got closer and touched her. Her
skin was cold.

“Mama…”

He looked at her face. The nurse sighed.

“We are sorry for your loss.”

He shook his head wanting to say something

but he couldn’t bring himself to form the words.
He shook her gently.

“Mama..”
Mmagwe Tumo remained still. A cold shiver ran
down his spine as he stared at her trying to
make sense of what was happening.

His voice got fainter. “Mama…”

Tears filled her eyes. It didn’t make sense how

someone would be ok in the morning then they
are dead in the evening.

He touched her hand breaking down. The nurse

watched him giving him a chance to just cry
knowing the moment he stepped out he’d be
expected to be a man.

She rubbed her eyes. Tefo put his head on her

chest sobbing. He cupped her face.
“Mama…”

***

At the parking lot, Osa sat for a while. She

looked at the hospital’s entrance getting
worried. It was now over thirty minutes since he
had went inside.

She stepped out of the car minutes later and

walked inside. She looked at people inside the
hospital unsure of where to go.

Twenty minutes later Tefo walked over. A few

elderly ladies stood up sniffing. From his eyes
she could tell it wasn’t good news.
Tefo looked at Mmagwe Fenyang. “Where is her
phone?”

“Here.”

Tefo took the phone. Mmagwe Fenyang sniffed

then started crying.

“I should have went earlier to her house but I

saw a car at her house so I thought she had a
visitor. I should have went earlier.”

“What car was it?”

“This new big cars. A twin cab. A black one but

it didn’t stay long. By the time I went to
mmagwe Anele’s house it was gone. Yoooh
modimo wame…”

Tefo looked as her friends cried then swallowed

walking out. Osa walked behind him.

“Tefo…”

“We are going back.”

“Tefo I am sorry… what did the doctor say

happened?”

“Someone killed her. I will drive.”

She handed him the car keys. His voice was

deep and colder than usual. He didn’t sound like
he had just lost his mother.
She got in the car with him.

“Killed? The doctor said that?”

“She has marks on her neck. Someone wanted

her dead.”

“Who?”

“We will find out. She wasn’t sick. She is the

most strongest woman I know… was.”

He started the car and sped off. Osa put on her

seatbelt.
*

In Gaborone, Tefo stopped the carat his house.

“Thanks. You can go home.”

“Tefo you don’t have to be alone.”

“I want to be alone.”

He walked to his door and unlocked it then

walked inside. Osa sat in her car for a while
before she finally moved to the driver’s seat and
drove off.

***
Tefo went through his mother’s call log. She
had two incoming calls from Tumo. A few
missed calls from her neighbors. He opened her
messages and there was nothing incriminating.

Tefo tapped Tumo’s number calling him on his

mother’s phone. He quickly picked.

“Mama! Mama! I’m sorry..” Tefo pressed record.

“I am so sorry… please forgive me. I was
worried the whole day..I am sorry, please
forgive me. I will give you half the money. I will
give Tefo. Please don’t report me. Mama say
something. Please say something… I am sorry.”

Tefo hung up as his heart raced. He stood up

and sat down again reeling with anger.
***

At Tumo’s house, Tumo tried calling her back

but she didn’t pick. She was probably angry and
there was no doubt she was going to disown
him though the relief of knowing she was alive
calmed him down.

Tefo stared into nothing for hours trying to
understand just how someone would kill his
own mother. It was clear it was him though the
recording really didn’t prove much.

His brother could always argue the case. Tefo

looked at the window noticing it was morning.
He rubbed his eyes as his phone rang. He
looked at his mother’s sister calling.

“Hello…”

“Tefo what am I hearing? What’s this? Tefo tell

me this is not true! Tell me my sister is ok.”

He swallowed. “I thought if it were a dream by

now I would have woken up.”
“No! No! She was fine. Tefo I spoke to her
yesterday. I spoke to her when she told me
Tumo and his witch wife sold your father’s
farm. She was fine!”

“She is gone. I went there she she’s gone.”

“Noo! Noo!”

His mother’s sister screamed crying.

***

Later that morning Tumo opened the bank

messages from the previous night.
FNB P2450.30 reserved for purchase @
Liquorama Savings Pocket..

FNB P22600.85 reserved for purchase @ De Ja

Vue from Savings Pocket..

FNB P3123.60 reserved for purchase @ Ayoba

from Savings Pocket..

FNB P6000.00 paid from Savings

Pocket..295263 @ Cellphone Banking.

Tumo looked at all the messages and called his

wife. Amo picked up after a while.

“Hello?”
“Where are you?”

“I am still with my friends.”

“What fuvk are you buying that’s for 22k

Amogelang?”

“Uhu, why are you shouting? It’s only 22k.”

“You can’t spend any of this money when I am

still trying to put out fires! Gape why are you
even spending like this?”

“Tumo give me a break. It’s not even 50k I’ve

spent. Am I not allowed to have fun lenna? You
never spoil me, this is my chance. Can I just
have fun? We won’t even feel the difference. It’s
just a couple of thousands. Nothing serious.
Relax.”

“Who did you send 6k? Can you stop this?

Come back home now!”

“Wa Bora Tumo! Wa bora! Can you just stay at

home? Aunty is bringing the kids home! You are
tiring. You are a bore Tumo. A person can never
just have fun because of you. Mxm.”

She hung up. Tumo tapped her number to call

her but an incoming call came through.

He looked at his aunt calling.

“Aunty…”
“Tumo where are you?” She sniffed.

“Ma?”

“Where are you?”

“I am at my house.”

“So you’d rather be at your house after your

mother has passed on? Is this how much you
hated her Tumo? Wena you are comfortable in
your mansion while your mother lays in a
mortuary. You are not bothered.”

“What?”
“Your mother is dead! How can you be sleeping
comfortable in your mansion instead of trying
to find what killed my sister Tumo?”

Tumo’s heart skipped. “Mama is dead?”

“Yes. She died yesterday in the afternoon. And

you didn’t even bother to call or even ask
anything.”

Everything slowed down around him. “I… she’s

dead? I… she called me last night.”

“Someone has a her phone. Your mother is

dead.”

Tumo’s knees weakened as his world slowly

crumbled down.

“She…” He rubbed his head shaking. “No…”

“Ke kopa o te Kanye. I don’t understand

anything that’s happening because my sister
was fine yesterday. She can’t wake up just dead.
I refuse to believe it. I refuse to believe any of
that nonsense! I refuse! Come to Kanye!”

She hung up. Tumo swallowed bending. What

had he done?

He called Tefo. He picked then Tumo quickly

spoke.

“Tefo aunty called? Is she pulling my leg? I

know I am the bad guy right now but don’t play
like this. If it’s money you want I will give it to
you!”

“Never call me again till you are ready to admit

to what you did.”

“Is she… she’s ok? I just need to know if she’s

ok.”

“When you left Kanye was she ok yesterday?”

“What?”

“You heard me.”

“What are you talking about?’

“When you left Kanye yesterday, was she ok?
You were in Kanye at her house. What condition
did you leave her in? I find it funny how you can
sell her late husband’s farm, trick me into giving
it to you and the moment she calls you, hours
later she’s found dead in her house with
bruises on her neck showing strangulation. It’s
weird isn’t it?”

Tumo’s heart raced as his palms got sweaty.

“What are you saying? I am calling to ask you

something and you are-“

“Why are you asking something you already

know about?”
Someone hooted at the gate. Tumo hung up
and walked outside rubbing the sweat on his
forehead. He pressed the gate remote and froze
as a police car drove in the yard. He called Tefo
back.

“You are ready to talk?”

“So you called the police on me? You really

think I’d hurt my own mother Tefo?”

“Yes.”

Two police officers walked over to him. Tumo ‘s

stomach ached as the police officers
approached him then he cut the call.
“Dumelang, is this Mr. Tumo David?”

Tumo nodded. “Yes.”

“Rene re kopa go bua le wena. Can you

accompany us to the police station..”

“Am I in trouble bo officer?”

“Should you be? If you did nothing wrong then

you shouldn’t have a problem with coming with
us akere? We just want to ask a few questions
about how you spent your day yesterday. You
can come with us in our car or come in your
car.”

“I will come in my car. I just found out my

mother is dead. I need to go and make sure
she’s not pulling my leg.”

The police office nodded. “Just follow us. Re ta

confirmer ko pele what’s happening.”

Tumo walked back in his house and quickly

dressed up. He walked out minutes later and
got in his car then followed behind the police
calling his lawyer.

“Tumo…”

“The police is taking me in. I think my brother

said something to them.”

“Is it about the farm?”

“No. My mother is dead.”

“I am so sorry.”

“Tefo called and from his tone he was accusing

me. I think she was murdered and they are
pinning me to it because I went to see her
yesterday morning.”

“You went to see her for what?”

“Tefo told her about the farm, she was angry.”

“What happened?”
Tumo swallowed. “She kicked me out and I left.
Tefo might have killed her to get her belongings.
He’s angry.”

“Why would he kill her now?”

“I don’t know but it’s him.”

“Is it him or you want to pin this on him?”

Tumo swallowed. “It was a mistake.”

“You did it?”

“It was a mistake.” His voice shook.

“How?”

“I strangled her but I wiped my finger prints.”

“How did he know you were there that

morning?”

“Someone saw me.”

“Don’t say anything when you get there till I am

there with you.”

“Won’t you coming make me guilty? Can’t I just

cook up some story?”

“We will cook it up together. Anything you say

today will be used against you in the future.
They will find a way to confuse you and once
you tell two different stories you are a suspect.
Right now it’s just questioning. Ke eta.”

The lawyer hung up. Tumo called his wife.

“Tumo-“

“I am going to the police station. My mother is

dead. I think Tefo went to say it’s me because I
went to see her in the morning yesterday.”

“How did she die?”

“I don’t know yet. The police might call you and

ask you a few questions. Don’t say anything till
the lawyer speaks to you. And come back home.
You can’t be having fun in clubs spending
money when my mother just passed away.”

***

Tefo walked out of the police station. Osa

looked at him standing by her car. She watched
him as he walked over looking like he had been
hit by a train.

“I didn’t say you should come.”

“I know. What’s happening? What did they say?”

“It’s a homicide case. She was murdered.”

“Tefo I am… sorry.”

“They were just asking me a few questions and
also where I was yesterday. They will collect the
CCTV footage from the filling station to just
clear me out.”

“Ok. And right now?”

“I am going to Kanye.”

“Is there anything I can do to help you? I can

borrow you my car for easy moving.”

“Osa-“

“I am not expecting anything in return. I am just

helping you like… a friend because I sympathize
with you. And I am not using the car. It will
make things easier for you.”

Tefo’s phone rang. He looked at an unsaved

number calling.

“Hello?”

“Hi, ke Amo. I need to tell you something. Can

we meet and talk? It’s important, it’s about what
happened to your mother. I need to tell you
something.”

“Please Tefo. It’s important. I know you dislike

me but you need to know. It’s important. It’s
about what happened to your mother.”

Tefo held his phone and sighed. “Ok. Where?”

“At the house.”

Tefo hung up and looked at Osa. He sighed and

took the car keys.

“Thanks.”
“You are welcome. You can drop me off by my
house and… start with the funeral
arrangements.”

He nodded then jumped in her Range Rover.

Osa got in and watched him as he started the
engine and drove off.

She gave him directions to her house. Tefo

parked at her fare and looked at the beautiful
house behind the walls. It didn’t surprise him
that he stayed right in the suburbs.

“Nice house.”

“Part of what I got in the divorce settlement.”

“Its nice.”

She opened the door then leaned over kissing

his cheek.

“Call if you need help with anything.”

“Thank you.”

“Anytime.”

She got out of the car and pressed her gate

remote. Tefo reversed out as she walked inside
her yard where the Benz and another car was
parked.
She turned and waved with a smile. He smiled
and reversed then drove off.

***

At his brother’s house, Tefo parked at the gate

then walked through the open gate going to the
door. He knocked, Amo opened the door for him.

“Hi.”

“What do you want to tell me?”

“Come in.”

She opened the door wider. Tefo walked in.

Amo closed the door and took a deep breath.
“I am sorry for everything that’s happened in
the past. I am starting to see I trusted the
wrong person.”

“Get to the point. Ga kena nako.”

“Uh… I think Tumo killed your mom.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Because yesterday after your mother called he

was very angry and he was scared that she’d
send him to jail so he left saying he was going
to try and talk to her. He came back that same
morning looking disturbed. He was distracted
the entire day. This morning he tells that he’s
been taken in and I shouldn’t say anything to
the police till a lawyer talks to me. He killed her
because he’s evil. I know you have always
believed I was the bad guy but your brother has
always been the one behind everything. Did I tell
you that he emotionally abuses me? He’s a
monster, on the bad days he ends up getting
physical with me.”

“Do you have evidence that he killed her?”

“I can get him to confess. Tefo look at the

bigger picture. Your mother has passed away
meaning that everything that belongs to her
goes to you and your brother. Tumo won’t get
anything if we prove he murdered your mother.
We can take the rest of the money from the
farm and divide everything in half. I can help
you. Your brother never liked you. He’s always
hated you. You and I can be a tag team. You will
be the children’s father and you never know
what the future holds for us. I know your
mother had another farm, we can sell it and
start afresh.”

She touched his chest and smiled. “I have

always liked your calm spirit Tefo.”

Tefo laughed. “Are you being serious?”

Amo unzipped her dress and took it off

remaining nude.

“I don’t love Tumo. I was with him because of

fear.”

She reached over to touch his dic but he pushed

her hand off.

“So what’s your plan? Sink the other brother,

get all his money and try and swindle the other
one. Tumo hasn’t been arrested and already you
are planning to destroy him?”

“He is not a good person! He killed your mother!

How do you still care about someone who killed
your mother? Tefo look at the bigger picture.”

She reached for his belt. Tefo pushed her hard.

“I don’t want you. I hate you, nothing about you

entices me even a little bit. You disgust me.”

“If don’t sleep with me I am going to tell the

police that you came and tried to rape me. You
do realize they take rape seriously akere? The
police will side with me. I will tell them you
came saying you wanted half the money in the
bank. I am trying to help, you stupid boy! Don’t
you see?”

“Good thing I have recorded this entire

conversation. I think the police might find it
useful. I am not really surprised that you want
to give me your community rotten vagina, I
know how you sleep around and how those two
kids don’t belong to my brother though I have to
commend you, you have him right in the palm of
your hands. If only he knew every man in
Gaborone has had his wife’s sloppy loose p*ssy,
I can smell it’s rottenness from here. Nxla!”

He walked out. Amo quickly put on her dress

embarrassed. She walked to the door to close it
then watched him get into a Range Rover then
drive off. She took a deep breath, there was no
way she was going to go to prison for a crime
she didn’t commit. She paced around
wondering what Tumo was saying to the police.
What if he told the police that she was the one
who suggested the selling of the farm and that
she was the one who actually sold it.

Amo sat down and transferred over half the

amount from the savings account into of her
personal account.

***

Bonolo finished washing her aunt’s clothes then

quickly dressed up and walked out. She took a
deep breath as Richard parked at the gate.
Somehow she couldn’t shake off the feeling
that he was beating her cousin but Momo
would never admit to it. Momo stepped out of
the car and smiled walking in the yard. Bonolo
looked at her face trying to see if there were any
new bruises but there was nothing as far as she
could see.

Momo smiled. “Wa kae?”

“To the tuckshop.”

“Ok, see you!”

She walked past her headed to the house.

Bonolo walked out of the gate and passed
Richard who was staring at her.
“Hi.”

“Dumelang.”

“Wa kae? Need a lift?”

“No.”

She quickly walked away. Bonolo turned and

watched as he drove off then hurried off.
Bonolo slowed down at Tefo’s house and
walked inside the yard. She looked at the fancy
car in front of his door then knocked on his
door.

Tefo opened the door walking out holding a bag.

He looked at Bonolo surprised.

“Hi.”

“Hi. I wanted to say I am sorry about your

mother. I saw you posted her on Facebook.”

He smiled. “Thanks. I guess when it rains it

pours.”

“Don’t kill yourself.”

He chuckled. “I won’t . I have to go and make

arrangements for her autopsy then her funeral.”

“Where is the funeral? Here? Maybe Momo and

I will come for the prayers.”
“Kanye but she always wanted to get buried
next to our father in Shakawe. Momo won’t
come, even if it were close by. You can come. I
will drop you off later when I come back “

He unlocked the car. Bonolo looked at the

Range Rover then him.

“Kea ga mang? Your grandmother’s sister?”

“Yeah. She borrowed it to me to help with the up

and downs.”

Bonolo smiled. “Ok…”

He opened the door for her. She got in and sat

properly. Tefo walked round then jumped in and
drove off putting on his seatbelt.

At a mall, Tefo jumped out.

“I am coming. I am going to get a few things. Ke

eta.”

Bonolo nodded. He walked away.

Dineo slowed down at the mall a while later.

She parked her car noticing her friend’s car
from a distance. She stepped out and walked
over locking her G-Wagon.

She stood by the driver’s window and frowned

looking at the girl in the car.

“Who are you?”

She opened the door as Bonolo turned.

“Who are you?”

“Dumelang. I am Tefo’s friend.”

Dineo laughed. “I knew it! Out! Get out now!”

Bonolo looked at her confused. “Ma?”

“I said get out of the car! I knew it! Get out!
Lebelete!”

She walked round then opened the door and

dragged Bonolo out. People turned looking.

“Whore!”

Dineo shook her head calling Osa.

“Dineo-“

“So already you are giving this boy your car?

He’s already driving around Gaborone with
whores in the car! This is what you get when
you try to make a Ben 10 a boyfriend."

“Maybe it’s-“

Bonolo tried to reach for her phone in the car

but Dineo pushed her back slapping her.

“O irang?! O irang? (What are you doing?) Huh?”

Bonolo looked at the people watching as her
cheek stung from the slap.

Osa yelled on the phone. “Dineo maybe it’s a

relative.”

“This is not a relative, she was sitting on the

front seat.”

Tears filled Bonolo’s eyes. “I just want my

phone ke tsamaye.”

Dineo took it and threw it at her. Bonolo caught

it and quickly walked away avoiding any more
eyes on her. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She
sniffed walking away.
Osa sighed. “You really think it’s –“

“It’s the girl he sleeps with! How do you give

him a car Osa?”

“I was just trying to help him because he lost

his mother and –“

“And what? Where are his relatives? You are not

his relative, just someone who you had sex with!
You should have never given him your car
because next thing he’s asking for money. He’s
going to see you as an ATM! O mo nnela koloi
gore gorileng? Wa bora Osa! Nyaa mma!”

“Is he there?”
“No, I am waiting for him. Nna he’s going to-“

“Don’t ask him anything. I will ask.”

Dineo hung up as Tefo walked out of the mall

holding plastics of groceries.

He looked at Dineo by the car and frowned. She

folded her arms.

“So you are busy doing shopping for your

whore?”

Tefo put the plastics in the car and looked at

her.
“Eng? I kicked her out of my friend’s car ebile
take off your things because you are not going
anywhere with this car. Gonna Ben ten go go
tsene mo thogong! Take out your plastics!”

Tefo looked inside noticing that Bonolo was not

inside. He looked at Dineo.

“What did you do?”

“I kicked her out! Who do you think this car is

for? She did you a favor by borrowing it to you!
You are not paying for the fuel in this car yet
you have the audacity to have your girlfriends
sit at the front seat?”

Tefo walked over to her pissed off and grabbed

her neck.
“Wareng?!”

She tried to yell but he pushed her against the

car slamming her head on the window and
lowered his voice pissed off.

“Who do you fucken think I am? You think I fear

you because you are a fucken old horny hag
with a wrinkled face?! Ke ta go nyedisa gao bata
go ntwaela masepa!”

She looked at his angry face. “I an going to

report you to-“

“If I am going to go to jail I might as well make it

worth my while shouldn’t I?”
A security guard walked over.

“What’s going on?”

Tefo let go of her. Dineo gasped tearfully. Tefo

clicked his tongue and moved from her as his
phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and
looked at Osa calling and cut the call then
called Bonolo getting in the car. He started the
engine and reversed driving off.

“Hello?”

“Where are you?”

Bonolo sniffed crying. “I am going home.”

“Bonolo-“

“A woman came calling me names and she

slapped me.”

“I am sorry. Where are you?”

“Ng Ng, where was I even going with you? I am

going home.”

Tefo drove around looking.

“Nolo-“

“You can go to the funeral. I am sorry about

your loss but kea lapeng.”

“Bonolo wait-“

She hung up. Tefo drove trying to locate her but

he couldn’t locate her.

***

Dineo massaged her neck picking Osa’s call.

“Osa-“

“O kae Tefo?”

“He’s driven off after chocking me!”

“Dineo didn’t I say I will talk to him?”

“He’s violent and arrogant. Called me a horny

old hag! Who does-“

“Because you provoked him! Why were you

asking him anything?!”

“I was trying to help you!”

“He is not taking my calls. Tefo has a temper.”

“Take back your car! Take it back before he

starts sleeping with girls inside it.”
***

At the police station, Tumo walked out with his

lawyer.

“What now?”

“We wait for the fingerprints results.”

“So how can you pin this on Tefo?”

“I can’t. He has a solid alibi. He couldn’t have

killed her while he was at work. Filling stations
have CCTV cameras. Forget pinning this on
Tefo and focus on getting you out of the
suspect list.”
“Ok but can he pursue the farm case?”

“It’s useless if your mother is dead. Just go

home. Make sure your things are in order
because this may turn into a very serious court
case should the police find any evidence linking
you to the murder.”

Tuno swallowed, the lawyer walked to his car

then got in his calling his wife.

“Tumo…”

“I am on my way home.”

“So you killed your mother?”

“What? They just wanted to confirm a few
things. It’s all Tefo’s doing. If there is no
evidence then there’s no case. But we are going
to have to postpone our vacation.”

“Why? It’s not my mother who’s dead Tumo. I

am not canceling the trip or postponing it. Nna
rra I am going to Mauritius.”

“We can’t go because I am on the suspect list

and I have to remain in Gaborone.”

“Tumo why should I suffer because of that? I

long planned this trip. I have been wanting to go.
Why are you making me seem like a bad person?
I am not canceling anything. I am going and you
will remain handling your issues.”
“My mother just died Amo. You may have not
liked her but that was your mother in-law. How
do you miss her funeral because you want to go
Mauritius?”

“It’s not my mother who died. Why should I

pretend I care when I don’t. You want her ghost
to haunt me because she disliked me? Every
one in your family hates me. Why should I go?
For them to gossip me and disrespect me? I am
going to Mauritius.”

She hung up. Tumo started the car and drove

off trying to call her again but she didn’t pick.

***

Amo looked at her phone ringing then sat down.

She had to be smart since FNB had refused for
her transfer anything more than 100k. She bit
her lower lip knowing for her to transfer more
she needed him.

A while later he drove Inside. She quickly sat on

the floor and started crying. Tumo walked in the
house and looked at her crying on the floor.

He walked over and hugged her kneeling next to

her.

“Amo…”

“What am I going to do if anything happens to

you? I am stressed, I can’t even think.”
“We are going to be fine because I am not going
to jail.”

“No one is going to accept me at the funeral but

it’s fine. Let’s cancel the trip, I will go so your
relatives can abuse me calling me names
behind my back.”

“You are right, no reason for you to go

especially with everything going on that’s you
will be going to Mauritius with the kids. I will
remain behind and handle everything.”

Amo sniffed. “I think you should transfer our

funds to another account Tumo. What’s going
to happen if they freeze your accounts?”

He looked at her. “I doubt they will do it.”

“Just to be safe Tumo. I don’t trust Tefo.”

***

Later that day in the evening, Tefo arrived in

Gaborone calling Osa.

“Hey-“

“I am on my way to drop off the car. O kae?”

“Home.”

“I will be there in twenty minutes.”

*

At Osa’s house, Osa hurried to her bedroom and

undressed then she put on her silky gown and
sprayed her fragrance all over. Osa looked at
herself on the mirror, she was about to take
control of the situation.

He called over fifteen minutes later then she

walked out pressing the gate remote..

He drove in the yard and stepped out after

parking the car.

“Thank you for your-“

“Who was the girl in my car? I called you twice

during the day and you didn’t answer! Who was
the girl in my car?”

“It was my cousin, I am not in the mood for your

rubbish! If I really didn’t need the car in the
morning I’d have returned it. I was surviving just
fine before you came into the picture! You are
not the reason I breathe. If you think just
because you borrowed me your car that I didn’t
even ask for you can do as you please and walk
all over me, I will show you just how wrong you
are. Take your car keys and lose my number. O
kare o ta na problem, I told you I have enough
shit going on, I have no time to deal with a
woman who acts stupid but is old enough to be
my mother’s sister.”

She swallowed. “It was your cousin?”

“And your friend embarrassed her, she even hit
her. She’s very luck there were people around.”

“Nate I am sorry.” She tried to touch him but he

moved her hand.

“I have to go. Thank you for your car.”

She grabbed his hand. “I am sorry. I am sorry. I

asked her not to say anything to you and-“

“I don’t care what you asked. Let's end whatever

this is. You are more stressful that I assumed. I
have to go.”

“Please don’t go. I am begging you don’t go. I

didn’t know the whole story, now I do and I am
sorry. I will apologize to your cousin if you want
me to. Please.. please don’t go.”

Tefo sighed staring at her as her voice shook.

He put his hands on her waist.

“What’s going on? It’s not even a week and

there’s all this drama I don’t understand. Your
friend is too involved, maybe that’s how you two
roll but I don’t like it and I don’t want to change
how you things so let’s stick to the initial
agreement. It was a once off, you wanted sex, I
gave it to you. Let’s let it go.”

“I am sorry about Dineo.”

“I don’t want you to be sorry. You don’t have to

be sorry. Please let’s let this go. I have a lot in
my head and I don’t want to hurt you.”

She swallowed. “I… it’s been a while since I had

a man or at least a man capable of making me
feel the things you’ve managed to make me feel.
I admit that the sex has made it impossible for
me to think of anything beyond you. I am
coming off as clingy and maybe it’s turning you
off but I am usually not like that. I was just
hoping I’d get you out of my system. It’s ok if
you don’t want anymore.”

“You are pretty, actually you are very pretty and

sexy. I love everything about your body and how
you feel just that it was just sex. I don’t think I’m
able to even try to have you as a sex partner
right now. My head is all over, I feel sad, heart
broken, I feel lost, frustrated and confused. The
sex did help keep my mind of things but right
now it’s a lot and this fighting in malls and
everything else is just adding in to the struggles
I’m facing already.”

She looked at his sad face. “I am just trying to

hold on and… I don’t know, hope it gets better
but kea imelwa. I am sorry too. I’m hurting you,
it’s not my intention and I am taking my
frustrations out on you. I’m sorry.”

“I want to be there for you. As a friend. It

doesn’t have to be anything else. Can we forget
what happened today and just… rest? You need
to rest.”

“I will do that at my house but thanks.”

“Did you eat?”

“I don’t have the appetite.”

“You can keep the car.”

“I’d love that but it comes with a lot of issues.

What if tomorrow another friend of yours sees
me with my aunt or someone else… I have to
deal with what I dealt with today? I can’t. I
appreciate the help. I more than appreciate it.”

“No one will say anything. I promise.. I won’t let

what happened today happen again. It’s late…
it’s dark. Thieves can attack you.”

He smiled. “They can still attack me in the car.”

“But it’s a little safer than you walking to get the

combis. You can take the small one. You will
return it after the funeral.”

She hurried inside the house and came back

with the car keys but he was already gone. Osa
walked outside the gate and looked around but
she couldn’t see him. She slowly walked back in
the yard pressing the gate remote.

Osa walked inside her house and picked her

ringing phone.

“Dineo.”

“Osa did he give you your car?”

“Dineo, stop. I understand you are trying to look

out for me but I am fine. I am handling this on
my own.”

“Do you love him?”

“No.”
“I hope so because I promise you that will be
the recipe for a disaster. These young boys will
never love people like us. We are too old. He
wants the young girls. The slay queens.”

“Just stay out of the situation. Let me handle

it.”

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

***

Bonolo’s phone rang as slept next to her cousin.

She opened her eyes and looked at the caller.
She looked at Momo sleeping and slowly got up.
She walked to the bathroom then picked
whispering.
“Hello?”

“I am outside. Can I see you before I go home.”

“Ke robetsi.”

“It won’t take long. Please.”

“Tefo aunty will-“

“Just two seconds ebe ke tsamaya.”

Bonolo took a deep breath. She hung up and

walked out of the bathroom. She unlocked the
main door and walked outside. Tefo smiled
looking at her then whispered.

“Hi.”

“What are you doing? Momo is sleeping.”

“Ok. I am sorry about what happened today.”

“That woman said I am a whore!”

“You know you are not. I am sorry. She’s a

friend to-“.

“Your grandmother’s sister?”

“Actually she’s a friend. A family friend. I didn’t

know how to introduce her that day. She’s just a
family friend and she’s nice. Her friend
misunderstood the situation earlier on but
nonetheless I am sorry. What happened
shouldn’t have happened and I am sorry. I am
so sorry, if I knew that’s how it was going to go
I would have never borrowed her car.”

“Its fine.”

“Are you ok?”

Bonolo sighed. “I am fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”
He handed her a chocolate. “A peace offering.”

Bonolo smiled. “Thank you.”

“Let’s hug it out.”

She laughed softly trying not to make noise

then hugged him. Tefo breathed out wrapping
his arms around her. Bonolo closed her eyes in
his arms.

Tefo slowly let her go minutes later.

“Sharp akere?”
She looked up at him and nodded. Tefo looked
at her lips trying to pull away but found himself
leaning down.

Their lips met. Tefo inhaled kissing her. Eyes

closed. Bonolo stood on her toes kissing him
back. Tefo released her mouth and smiled.

“I have to go. Get back inside.”

Bonolo swallowed and nodded. She turned and

went back in the house as Tefo walked to the
gate. She closed the door and locked it feeling
giddy. She walked back to her room and slid in
bed next to her cousin feeling guilty. She
touched her lips in the dark thinking of just how
good that had felt.
Momo sighed deep in her sleep. Bonolo tossed
turning, of cause Momo had hurt Tefo but her
kissing him made her a bad person. She turned
again and closed her eyes trying to sleep.

***

The following morning at a motor center, Tefo

drove out in his black Toyota Run X. He slowed
down at a traffic light in and smiled. 50k was
nothing compared to what his brother had
taken but at least he had gotten himself a car.
Now he had to think of a business plan because
there was no way he was going back to the
filling station. He had to think outside the box
but first was dealing with his mother’s murderer.

Tefo’s phone rang as he drove.

“Hello?”

“Tefo, you are speaking to Detective Baagisane.

We just finished checking your alibi and we
have confirmed you were at work.”
“Ok so what now?”

“Thee preliminary autopsy results are out. We

have officially turned your mother’s case into a
homicide case. They had to dissect the neck to
see for sure though signs were already there
that she died from asphyxia. Right now we are
sure that whoever killed her did it with intention
to kill because they managed to do a thorough
clean up, they also cleaned her nails from when
she must have put up a fight. We are checking
everything but for now that’s all we got. We will
wrap up with the house this afternoon.”

“Ok. Do you think you will find who murdered

her?”
“We will. We will not rest till we find out. I
understand you have your own suspect and I
listened to the recording you sent me That kind
of evidence is impermissible, maybe your sister
in-law made it up to sink your brother and take
everything. It can always be argued out and we
can’t arrest him because of it. We will need a
confession from him. I understand your anger
and frustration but I urge you not to take the
law into your hands. You might end up in jail
and that will be it for you.”

“Thank you.”

Tefo hung up. He clenched his jaws, it was

obvious that Tumo could get away with it… he
was probably hiring the best lawyers money
could buy.
Tefo took his phone stopping at a traffic light
and called his brother.

Tumo answered after the third ring.

“Hey..”

“Are you coming to the meeting today?”

“Yes… Tefo I know I hurt you. You are angry at

me but I would never hurt our mother. I loved
her.”

“Yeah sure.”

“Do you believe me now? I went to see her but

I’d never hurt my own parent.”
“Yeah… there’s no evidence linking you to the
crime so I believe you. I have no choice.”

Tumo sighed. “Thank God!”

“I contacted mama’s funeral policy. I am going

to meet them before heading to Kanye. The
police are collecting the last bits of evidence so
we can have the prayer sessions at home. I am
taking her back to Shakawe.”

“Ok. How much money do you need to help out?

I can buy food.”

“Ok.”
“Sharp.”

“I can give you a lift to the insurance offices.”

“No it’s ok. But thanks.”

“Re shapo?”

“Yeah we good. We good.”

Tefo hung up and passed by a mall. He walked

back to his car minutes later with a plastic full
of DIY material and in his other hand was a
bottle of chloroform and a rope.

He put everything In his boot and drove off.

***

Tumo smiled holding his phone. Amo looked at

him.

“What?”

“Tefo believes me.”

“After he had the police take you?”

“I would have done the same if I were him. You

need to understand that he loved mama. I was
last seen with her so that means I am a suspect.
As long as he believes I am innocent I’m good.
That’s all I need.”
Amo rolled her eyes facing away as Tumo
happily dressed. She turned to him and sighed.

“So you will be going for the prayer meetings?”

“Yes, I am going to attend the meeting today to

plan for the funeral. Tefo has went to the
insurance offices about Mama’s funeral policy.”

“Do you think they will pay it out seeing the

police is saying she was murdered?”

“I don’t know. If not I will pay. I have to go and

do grocery shopping. Tefo wants her hurried in
Shakawe. We will have to find a parlor that can
transport her to Shakawe.”
“Isn’t your mother from Kanye?”

“Yes but she always wanted to get buried next

to her husband and if that’s what will make
Tefo feel better I don’t mind helping out.”

“Tumo moving a dead body is expensive.

Imagine all the way to Shakawe. And what good
are you buying?”

“Its my mother’s funeral Amo. You expected

me to look away when you were spending 22k
on alcohol. Today it’s my mother’s funeral and
you have a problem. I am starting to question
you.”

He put on his shoes and walked while his kids

played on their trampoline.

***

Bonolo walked out of the house with Momo in

their church uniforms.

Momo looked at Bonolo.

“Are you ok?”

Bonolo turned to her. “Ng.”

“You are too quiet. Gorileng?”

“I…” A guilty block sat on her throat. “I…”

Momo paused looking at Bonolo. “O sharp?”

“Yes… I am just stressed about my friend.”

“What’s wrong with her?”

“She told me yesterday that her sister was

dating a certain man but they broke up. Her
sister doesn’t love him anymore and she’s
found herself falling for that guy. They even
kissed, the first time it happened it was a
mistake. And the second time…not so much of
a mistake. She can’t stop thinking about him
and the kiss but she also feels guilty because
she really loves and respects her big sister.”

Momo laughed. “Tell your friend she’s being a

backstabbing sister. I’d never expect that from
you because you are my sister and sisters don’t
do that to one another. Tell your friend to go
and tell this guy that she can’t continue with
whatever they are doing and she should stay far
away from him.”

Bonolo smiled. “I will tell her after church.”

“Good.” Momo smiled then took out her ringing

phone.

“Hello?”

“Where are you?”

“I am going to church.”
“What time does church end?”

“Around 3.”

“I won’t be able to pick you up.”

Momo stopped smiling. “Why?”

“I am going to handle something out of town so

I won’t be back then. I will see you tomorrow.”

A woman’s voice laughed in the background.

“Who are you with?”

“My sister. Bye.”

He hung up. Momo swallowed unable to shake
off a feeling that he was lying but then
questioning him wouldn’t end well.

Momo looked at Bonolo. “I am going to

Richard’s house. Tell mama I am not feeling
well I went to the clinic.”

Momo took a different direction headed to the

bus stop to catch a combi.

At Richard’s house, Momo walked through his

gate passing his car. Her heart raced as she
approached the slightly open door. She could
hear people laughing in the house.
Momo pushed the door open and walked in, her
eyes falling on him lying on the couch naked
with a woman.

They both turned to her as she dropped her

bible in shock.

Richard got up and put on his sweatpants.

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed

to be at church?”

Momo looked at the woman as she slowly got

up unbothered.

“You b”tch! What are you doing with my man?!”

She walked to the girl slapping her. The girl
pushed Momo slapping her back.

“Ware your man! He’s mine too!”

Momo pushed her hair hitting her. Richard

walked out and closed the door on his way out.
The girl scratched Momo and then grabbed
Momo’s hand biting her thumb hard. Momo hit
her head screaming in pain but the girl wouldn’t
let go.

Momo hit her harder screaming even more but

she still didn’t let go. Richard walked back in the
house.

“Melody!”
Melody let go breathing heavily. Richard looked
at Momo as she cried.

“You can’t come unannounced to my house.

Next time you call. Go home.”

“Richard you-“

“Go home. You will come when I say you can

come. Never come to my house unannounced.
You were supposed to go to church. Take your
Bible and leave. I am busy.”

Momo swallowed looking at him.

“Richard you are cheating on me and-“

“You shouldn’t have come here. I didn’t say you

could come. I will call you.”

“Tell this girl to leave!”

“Get out!”

“I am not going anywhere! I am not leaving.”

“You are leaving because I am telling you to.

Don’t make me drag you out because trust me, I
will, you know I will! Don’t push me!”

Momo looked at him tearfully. Richard walked

over and dragged her out while Mel watched.

Momo broke down crying fighting to stay in the

house but Richard forcefully pulled her outside
then went back in the house and closed the
door locking it..

She banged on the door screaming. “Richard!

Richard!”

The radio started playing then they increased

the volume. Momo hit the door harder
screaming.

“Richard! Richard!”

Momo took out her phone crying and called her

friend.

“Maemo.”

“Richard is cheating on me.. he’s locked

himself inside his house with another woman.”

“I saw this coming.”

“O raya yang Bontle?”

“This guy is controlling Momo. He beats you. I

am not surprised he’s cheating..not even a
week after you left Tefo and there’s all this
nonsense. I understand why you left Tefo but he
was better than this. Besides giving you money,
what else does he do for you. It was nice when
he knew there was another man in the picture
and now you left Tefo you’ve become boring to
him.”

“Bontle if have nothing positive to say then

don’t say anything at all. This girl is just being
used. I know he doesn’t love her. He loves me.”

“Then what are you doing outside? Shouldn’t

you be the one inside the house? Koore Maemo
can’t you see that he uses money to get to you?
After that he makes you pay for that money. It’s
not surprising that he has other girlfriends and
thamma if you are not smart you are going to
turn into a WWE fighter fighting other women.”

“I shouldn’t have called you! You are jealous of

me.”.

“Jealous of being beaten and controlled? Mxm.”

Bontle hung up. Momo banged on the door for a

while but he wasn’t opening. She sat on the
veranda waiting. Hours slowly went by as she
sat there. Momo finally got up and slowly
walked out of the gate hungry licking her dry
lips.
***

Later that day in Kanye, Tumo watched as Tefo

spoke with their uncles and aunts while
standing by his car. Minutes later Tefo walked
to the Run X he came with.

Tumo walked over.

“What where they saying?”

“They are going to consult with a traditional

doctor to find the answers they need. Whoever
killed her is going to go mad.”

Tumo swallowed. “What?”

“Yes. Apparently there is someone who can
help.”

“You are agreeing to it? You know mama would

have never wanted that.”

“No, she wouldn’t but if we are going to find her

killer then this is what must happen.”

“Those people are scammers. Don’t waste

money. Let the police do their job.”

“Thar might never happen Tumo. My mother’s

killer is not going to roam around free. My
mother was a loving woman. Someone
murdered her!”
“I get you but consulting traditional doctors is
crazy. Do you even believe in that nonsense.”

“I will see when they go and see him. Apparently

whoever it is will end killing himself at the end
so it’s a win win thing..”

Tumo looked at him. “Don’t be gullible.”

“I am going to find my mother’s murderer

Tumo. One way or the other.”

Tumo looked at the way Tefo was looking at

him and swallowed.

“I have to go.”
“Sharp.. I will be right behind you. Lenna kea
tsamaya. (I’m also leaving.)”

Tefo’s phone rang in his hand. They both

looked at the caller. Tumo frowned.

“Is that Maemo’s little sister?”

“Yeah.”

“Are you sleeping with her? Tefo come on.”

“I am not.”

“Not yet. What are you doing with her? Shouldn’t

you just move on kana you also want bang her
mother?”

Tefo laughed. “I am not sleeping with her.”

Tumo looked at him. Tefo shrugged. “I wanted

to use her to get to Maemo but today I woke up
with a different perspective of things, she’s
innocent in all this… I am letting go of what I
wanted to do with her so I can focus on better
things.”

Tefo walked to his car and jumped in picking

Bonolo ‘s call.

“Hi.”
“Can we talk?”

“We should stop seeing each other. You were

right about me wanting to sleep with you. That’s
exactly what I wanted to. Let’s stay out of each
other’s ways ok?”

“I want to see you. Tonight.”

***

Later that evening, Tefo drove in his yard in

Gaborone and parked behind Osa’s Range
Rover.

Tefo stepped out just Osa also opened her door

and got out.
“What are you doing here?”

“Hi. You forgot this in the car. I didn’t want to

call you and disturb you. I know you are busy.”

She handed him cap.

“Thank you.”

“Who’s car that?”

“A little something I got. It’s a second hand but I

can move from point A to B.”

She smiled. “Its very nice.”

“Yeah.”

“Can I come in?”

Tefo unlocked his door and walked inside the

house. Osa sat on the bed.

“I-“

Someone knocked on the door. Tefo opened

the door and looked at Bonolo.

“Hi… o tswa kae? It’s late.”

“I need to talk to you.”

“You could come tomorrow.”

“I couldn’t sleep. I have been thinking about our

kids and… I know it’s wrong, I also know you are
not in the right state of nind now.. yesterday felt
wrong but I liked it. I liked it very much. I am not
Momo but-“

“Bonolo you are a good girl but you are still

Maemo’s sister.”

“So?”

“I don’t like you. At least not like that. I will just

use you if you keep coming back here. Matter of
fact the truth is that I wanted to sleep with you
to hurt your cousin. That’s all. You are young
and-“

“I am a big girl and I can handle anything. And

you lying about not liking me. You know you
want me. Momo doesn’t have to know.”

She got closer and kissed him. The door

opened then Osa walked out. She looked at the
both of them.

“Tefo…”

Tefo took a deep breath. “Bonolo come inside.”

He walked inside the house. Osa swallowed as

the young girl walked in.
Tefo looked at both of them. “Bonolo, this is
Osa. She’s not my grandmother’s sister or a
family friend, she’s someone I have sex with.
Osa this is Bonolo, my ex’s cousin sister.”

Bonolo looked at Osa then at Tefo speechless.

He carried on.

“I can’t give you both what you want expect

sex.” He took off his t-shirt remaining shirtless.

“I don’t like either of you in a way that’s more

than sexual so whoever that doesn’t leave in the
next 20 seconds is going to get fucked hard.”

He unbuckled his belt and took it off. Osa sat

down. Bonolo looked at him knowing he was
serious. Her heart raced then she looked at Osa
who was sitting comfortably.

Tefo looked at her. “Last chance to leave.”

Bonolo swallowed then sat down on the bed.

Tefo looked at both of them.

“I am not going to choose anyone between the

two of you, I will fuvk you both if no one leaves.”

They both remained sitting. Tefo reached for

the door and locked it.

Tefo took off his shoes looking at both of them,

fear visible in Bonolo’s eyes.

She looked at him almost shaking. Tefo pulled

her up and looked at her.

“Do you understand what I am going to do to

you? Have you had sex before?”
“Once… a while back.”

He leaned over kissing her. Bonolo closed her

eyes as he kissed her more taken full ownership
of her mouth turning it into a deep french kiss.

He released her lips and went down to her jaw

leaving a trail of kisses.

“I am going to make you a woman, do you

understand?”

She swallowed and nodded. Bonolo closed her

eyes as he went down to her neck weakening
her. She wasn’t sure what it was but he sucked
on her neck in a way that had her letting out a
sound, her nipples hardening.
Tefo moved back to her lips and kissed her
exploring her mouth. Bonolo touched him as
her p*ssy muscles clenched.

Osa looked at him breathing heavily, she wasn’t

sure what she was doing but she wasn’t leaving.
She stood up going behind him and touched his
back kissing him.

Tefo caressed Bonolo’s body. He released her

and turned to Osa. She looked at him ready to
do anything.

Tefo kissed her squeezing her breast. He

moved back.

“You two are about to be friends for tonight.

Undress each other.”
Bonolo swallowed as he moved back staring at
them. Osa turned to her then slowly took off
Bonolo’s top. She looked at her perky breasts
standing firm. She swallowed and took off
Bonolo’s sweatpants together with her
underwear. Tefo looked at her body getting
even harder.

She had that perfect body, no stretch mark, just

smooth.

“Nolo your turn baby…”

Bonolo reached over to Osa shaking. Every part

of her telling her to stop and leave but she still
pulled down the zip and slowly pulled down the
dress.
Tefo swallowed aroused looking at Osa’s
thickness, everything about her body was
beyond perfection, from the stretch marks that
went over her butt and stomach to those little
spots that were like freckles all over then the
shape.

Bonolo took off her bra then her thong.

“Kiss each other…”

Bonolo looked at Tefo. “I’ve never-“

“I know.. do it. Just like you’d kiss me.”

She turned to Osa who went closer. She leaned

over kissing her. Bonolo closed her eyes as Osa
softly kissed her, she wasn’t as demanding as
Tefo, rather soft and gentle.

Tefo took out his hard weapon and stroked

himself grunting. He walked over and touched
Osa. He kissed her neck.

“Get her ready for me baby… touch her.”

He slid his hand between her legs standing

behind her and touched her soaking p*ssy. Osa
moaned in Bonolo’s mouth. Tefo parted her
p*ssy lips, his fingers rubbing over her swollen
clit.

Her p*ssy clenched with want that she could

feel her juices flow out. He rubbed her gently,
his fingers going down to her entrance then
back to her clit.

Osa caressed Bonolo’s body kissing her. She let

go of her lips and kissed her collarbone, her
mouth going down to her hard nipples. She
leaned over sucking sending spiking sensations
all over Bonolo’s body.

With Osa between them, Tefo leaned over

kissing Bonolo his hand still between Osa’s
legs.

Bonolo tried kissing him back but Osa’s mouth

on her nipples send strong sensations between
her legs that she squeezed her thighs together.

Osa sucked the other nipple as hard, her hand

moving to Bonolo’s slightly hairy p*ssy.

Bonolo looked at Tefo. “Tefo she’s-“

“Let her…. Lie on the bed.”

Tefo let go of Osa leaving her desperate and

wanting. Bonolo slowly got on the bed and laid
down.

“Open your legs Nolo… wide.”

She opened her legs looking at his thick black

dic all hard and up. She looked at Osa fearfully.
Osa got between her legs and kissed her sliding
her fingers between her p*ssy.
Tefo bit his lose lip watching.

“Take it slow… take your time with her…”

Osa kissed Bonolo slowly going down then

paused between her legs looking at her wet slit.

“Run your tongue over her wetness…”

Bonolo closed her eyes as Osa leaned over with

her soft tongue and ran it down her p*ssy. She
tried to close her legs but Osa held them open
looking at Bonolo’s little hole knowing Tefo was
going to destroy her tiny p*ssy and the thought
alone turned her on more than she could
imagine.
Tefo grunted. “Shiiiit…. Suck her… gently,
slowly…”

Osa gently sucked Bonolo, her own p*ssy

getting even wetter. Tefo went over parting her
butt cheeks then looked at her wetness. He
rubbed his dic between her butt cheeks then
groaned sliding inside her wetness, her p*ssy
immediately welcoming him.

Osa raised her head moaning. “Awwww…”

“Don’t stop… I want her to cum all over your

face.”

Her legs shook as Tefo slid deeper. She leaned

over sucking Bonolo more. She curled her toes
as Osa muffed her harder sucking and suckling
while Tefo pushed his entire weapon inside. He
looked at her p*ssy lips around his dic and slid
out slowly and pushed back in.

Bonolo shook underneath Osa spasming while

Tefo thrust deep in that p*ssy. Osa swallowed
feeling like he was tearing her.

“Tefo she’s ready… baby she’s ready!”

He drilled her in that position for minutes then

slid out. Osa moved from Bonolo and closed
her legs tightly shaking.

Bonolo looked at Tefo trying to recover. Tefo

looked at her p*ssy and turned to Osa.
“I want you to hold her for me. Can you do that
babe?”

Osa nodded.

“Open her legs and make sure she doesn’t close

them. I want to enjoy her undisturbed.”

Osa opened Bonolo ‘s legs wider putting

Bonolo’s head in between her thighs.

Tefo knelt on the bed and rubbed his dic

covered with Osa’s juices on Bonolo. His
massage her clit with the tip of his dic then
leaned over sucking her nipples. He moved her
to her lips.
“You are beautiful…”

Bonolo looked at him as he rubbed her

pulsating clit. It felt so good the more he did it.
She tried to think of a condom but he pushed
inside her little hole throwing the thought out.

“It’s going to hurt a little bit but you are going to

be the big girl you are and take it. Ok?”

She nodded. “Ng..”

“What?”

“Yes.”

Tefo pushed more. Bonolo looked at Osa who

kissed.

“It’s ok sweety… it’s ok… relax.”

She grunted as the tip #removed.

The following morning, Bonolo held Osa’s hand

lying on the bed as Tefo fucked her from behind.
Osa reached for her clit. Bonolo’s body
stiffened followed by a powerful release. Tefo
carried on then stilled inside her and slid out.
He turned her around and kissed her.

Tefo released her and got up as she closed her

eyes passing out. Osa looked at him exhausted.
She turned falling asleep. Tefo took his phone
and checked a few messages before freshening
up. He walked out locking behind and unlocked
his car.

It felt a bit unreal that he now owned a car. He

jumped in and drove off picking his uncle’s call.

“Tefo…”

“Malome.”
“I hope you have thought about what I told you
yesterday. Killing your brother is not worth it. If
he killed Nthabi then he will get what’s coming
for him. We will sort it out spiritually. Don’t do
anything that may land you in jail.”

“I heard you.”

“That’s good. We will be going to see that man

in Molepolole today. He is powerful. The killer
will be caught.”

“Ok.”

“Ok my boy, I will leave you to carry on with the

arrangements.”
He hung up. Tefo took a deep breath and
carried on driving.

***

At Tumo’s house, Amo tried calling Tumo again

but his number was still not going through. It
was unlike Tumo to not sleep at home. Amo
sent him another message then called Tefo.

“O batang?”

“Where is Tumo?”

“Who are you asking?”

“He hasn’t come back since he went to Kanye
for the meeting yesterday. Are you guys still in
Kanye?”

“I am not. I don’t keep tabs on him.”

“I was just asking. His hasn’t been going since

yesterday around 7.”

“I don’t know.”

“Ok.”

She hung up and continued trying to call him.

***
Tefo parked his car at his house over an hour
later she walked inside. Bonolo was awake and
dressing.

“Hi.”

She looked at him. “I have to go home.”

“Ok. I went to get you something.”

Tefo took out the morning after and handed it

to her. Bonolo opened it and put it in her mouth
as Tefo poured her some water.

She swallowed. He smiled. “You will drink the

other one later.”
“Ok.”

“O sharp?”

She nodded. “Yes…”

“Ok. I will drop you off.”

“I-“

“I will drop you off.”

Osa woke up. She yawned sitting upright. Tefo

looked over.
“Hey..”

Osa looked at the time then got off bed..

“I need to go home.”

“Ok.”

Osa quickly dressed then looked at Bonolo then

at Tefo.

“Uh… is she clean?”

Bonolo quickly nodded. “I tested last week at

school.”
“Ok…”

Tefo looked at her and handed her the pill.

“Tefo I tied my tubes.”

“I am not taking any chances. Drink the other

one later, please.”

She took it and put it her mouth. Bonolo handed

her the glass with water. Osa drank and
swallowed.

Tefo gave her the other pill.

“Bye. Can I drop you off Bonolo?”

Bonolo nodded then walked out with her. Tefo

sighed rubbing his face.

***

Osa reversed out then looked at Bonolo.

“Are you ok?”

“I am sore. And my body hurts.”

Osa smiled. “Sorry… he’s a little… rough.”

“Yeah… but he was gentle at the end. This feels

weird. I feel like I slept with my mother.”

Osa laughed. “It feels weird too. I don’t know

how I did it. At some point I felt guilty when we
were… doing each other.”

Bonolo smiled recalling. “Me too. I wish I had

shaved.”

“Its not bad.”

“You and Tefo… la jola?”

“No. Just sex. You?”

“I feel guilty because he’s my cousin’s ex.”

“The one who cheated?”

“Yes, turn left. I never liked him like that before…
till the first time he kissed me. The day after he
found out. I know he was looking for
somewhere to release his pain but it woke up
things I never knew were there. Then last night…
isn’t it gross that I did that? I feel disgusted but I
loved it.”

Osa kept on driving. “I feel like I was taking

advantage of kids. I feel worse because I am
older.”

“How old are you?”

“40.”

“You are not that old. You have kids?”

“Yes. Two. One is 23 and the other 16.”

“You are not that old just that you had your first
born at a young age.”

Osa laughed. “I was 17.”

“You are young and you are beautiful. Very

beautiful. Turn right.”

Osa turned then Bonolo smiled.

“Would you do it again?”

Osa laughed. “I don’t know. Would you?”

Bonolo shrugged. “I don’t know too. I thought
he would focus on one person but he gave us
both attention. It was a turn on watching him
fuvk you like that. The second house on your
left.”

Osa pulled up and looked at her laughing. “I

probably look so desperate.”

“Maybe. Maybe not.”

Osa paused then leaned over and kissed her.

Bonolo kissed her back.

Osa moved back. “Do you want my number?”

“Yeah.”
They exchanged numbers then Bonolo stepped
out of the car and walked to the gate as Osa
drove off.

Momo looked at her sitting by the veranda, her

eyes swollen.

“Momo…”

“Is that mmagwe Rorisang’s car?”

Osa nodded. “Yes. What’s wrong?”

Momo shook her head and sniffed. “Nothing.

You look… different.”
Bonolo smiled and walked inside the house.

***

Later that day, Amo looked at the police officers.

“My husband is missing. He’s not back home.

Since yesterday. I have a bad feeling. We need
to find him.. everyone thinks he killed his
mother, what if they hurt him?”

The police officer looked at her. “Your husband

is a grown man. He’s probably cheating on you
right. Go home and wait for him.”

Amo looked at them. “I know him. He would

never go more than 24 hours without
contacting his family. Someone did something
to him. His brother has everything to do with it.
Natefo David! I can feel it.”

The police officer shook her head.

“Mma, go and wait for your husband at home.
You will come back after 48 hours but if I were
you I wouldn’t even bother, he is fine wherever
he is. He just doesn’t want to be with you.”

Amo looked at the police officer and stomped

out calling Tefo. He cut her call. Amo called
again.

“Stop calling me!”

“Where is my husband?”

“Are you crazy? How should I know where is?”

“If-“
“Shouldn’t him missing be making you happy?
Why are you pretending to be concerned?”

Amo unlocked her car. “I never said I want him

dead!”

“Better he’s dead don’t you think? You can get

everything.”

“I don’t want him dead.”

“Maybe you are the one who’s done something

to him. You never know with you two.”

Amo sniffed. “Tefo where is he?”

“I don’t know and I don’t care. Don’t call me

again.”

Tefo hung up. Amo got in her car and rubbed

her eyes.

***

Outside Gaborone, Tumo looked at the

traditional healer.

“Your hands are filled with blood…. You killed

someone very close to you.”

He looked at her. “It was a mistake.”

“No… your heart is… filled with greed and

selfishness. That’s why you killed her. Her soul
will never rest in peace till the truth is out.”

Tumo looked down. “I need help. My family is

going to someone who’s going to help them. I
want you to protect me.”

The traditional healer laughed. “No one can

protect you. You will get what’s coming for
you.”

“Please… I have a family.”

“No sin can ever go unpunished. Come out. Tell

the truth and you shall be freed.”

“No! I have a lot to lose.”

“Then it’s a life for a life. I know someone who
can help, I can’t do it. A life for a life. You are
going to have to sacrifice someone really close
to you… your daughter.”

Tumo frowned. “What?”

“Yes, you can escape this, you will escape your

mother’s restless soul but you won’t escape
him. You will get what’s coming for you. He will
come for you at the end. You might escape
everyone but not him.”

Tumo frowned confused. “Who?”

“I can’t really see who but he will come for you.

His rage will be the end of you.”
Tumo stood up and walked to his car
wondering what she meant. He got in his car
and drove off. He drove back to Gaborone still
confused.

***

Richard parked his car at Momo’s house. Momo

walked out minutes later and walked to the car.
She looked at him.

Richard stepped out. “I am sorry. I was drunk

yesterday. I wasn’t thinking straight. I am sorry.”

Momo folded her arms looking at him. “No.”

Richard tilted her chin and looked at her. “I am

sorry. Please forgive me. It will never happen
again. I promise… Baby please…”

He took the flowers in his car and handed them

to her. Tears filled Momo’s eyes. She sniffed.

“You really hurt me yesterday.”

“I know. I am sorry.”

He hugged her as she cried. He kissed her

cheek.

“Please don’t cry. I am sorry. Let’s go to

Foschini for shopping.”

Momo sniffed tearfully. “I… now?”

“Yes. Let’s go then we go for dinner. I am
sorry.”

He wiped her tears and kissed her. Richard

opened the door for her. Momo got in, he
closed the door and walked round his car then
jumped in.

He held her hand and drove off.

***

Bonolo closed the curtain and sat in front of the

TV. She smiled alone thinking of the previous
night.
She reached for her phone as it rang.

She smiled looking at Tefo calling and sat

upright.

“Hi.”

“Hey, did you drink the other pill?”

“Yes, I just did.”

“Ok, are you ok?”

“A little sore but I am fine.”

“I am sorry if I hurt you.”

Bonolo smiled. “I am ok.”

“Ok. Bye.”

“Bye.”

Tefo hung up. She put down her phone recalling

the way he was giving them all the instructions
then smiled all alone.

***

Osa walked out of her office and got in her car.

Her phone rang, she took it out from her
handbag and immediately smiled. Usually she
did the calling not him.
“Hey..”

“Hi, did you drink the other pill?”

“Yes, before I knocked off.”

“Ok. Are you ok?”

“Ke sharp, you?”

“I am ok.”

“And the funeral arrangements?”

“They are coming.”

“Tefo if you need anything, call me.”

“I know. I am fine.”

“Yesterday was… fun. I couldn’t stop thinking

about it..”

“We are still on the same page right?”

She laughed. “Yes.”

“Bye.”

He hung up
Osa reversed smiling.

***

Tumo drove in his yard and walked inside the

house bumping into his wife.

Amo looked at him. “Where were you? Tumo I

was worried about you! How could you just
leave? Your phone was off and… I was worried!”

“I am sorry. I went back to Kanye. I wanted to

talk to mama. One last time. And apologize to
her. I slept in the car.”

“You wanted to talk to a dead body?!”

He looked at his kids… his daughter smiled at
him and walked over. Tumo picked her up.

“Hey…”

Amo hugged him. “I was worried.”

“I am sorry. It’s … hard. I…*

“I am sorry.”

He kissed her and put his son down then

walked to his bedroom.

He walked to the bathroom and washed his

face trying to understand how he was supposed
to sacrifice his child.
***

Tefo stared at his mother’s pictures later on. He

still had the last pictures they had taken
together months ago. He could almost hear her
voice.

Rage and hatred filled his heart as he sat on his

car bonnet looking at the sunset while holding a
can of beer.

He took a sip and looked at her smile..

There was no way he’d let her die in vein.

Eight Months Later…

Tefo hooted at a gate and waited. Minutes later

one of his customers walked over with her two
kids. She smiled at Tefo.
“Hi Tefo.”

Her kids got in the car smiling.

“Hi uncle T!”

Tefo gave them fists bumps. “Hey guys, what’s

up?”

“Fine.”

Tefo turned to mmagwe Wame. “Thanks.”

“Cool. Later.”
He drove off as the kids chatted. He called a
number.

“Hello?”

“Good morning, I am on my way to pick Lola.”

“Ok, she’s ready.”

“Eemma I will be there in ten minutes.”

“Ok.”

Tefo looked at the time driving over to the

house where he picked another school kid that
joined mmagwe Wame’s two kids.
Tefo’s phone rang as he drove to the school.

“Kitso..”

“Tefo I found a job at the safari up north to be a

Game driver. Laitaka I am going.”

“And how’s the salary?”

“Thrice what I’m earning now. I am scared but I

am going. How is it going being a cab driver?”

“Its not bad, I’m saving to get another car. A

Honda Fit. Have two cabs. Get someone to
drive it.”
“At least you have a plan.”

“I am not going back to working for someone

else Kitso. I am never going back to work for
someone else for anything less than 15k. Right
now I am waiting for my mother’s policy to pay
out. If it pays out I am going to get a combi ke
dire school bus.”

“Have you found someone to occupy her

house?”

“Not yet. It needs to be renovated and fixed up. I

don’t have money to fix it at the moment.”

“Why don’t you sell it then?”

“No… I can’t. It’s the only thing I have of hers.”

“I hear you. What about her farm?”

“I don’t want to sell it because I may need it for

the future.”

“Ok, I will be leaving tomorrow.”

“Good luck.”

Tefo parked at the first school where the first

kids dropped off then he drove to the second
school and dropped off Lola. He then drove off
headed to the rank.

His phone vibrated ringing, he looked at Osa

calling.

“Hi..”

“Hey, what’s up?”

“Are you busy?”

“No. I’m headed to the rank.”

“Can we see you tonight.”

“Who’s we?”

“Nolo and I.”

Tefo slowed down at a traffic light. “You two
are friends now?”

Osa laughed. “Is it wrong?”

“No. What do you want?”

“You will find out when you come akere. I

booked a hotel room.”

“And what if I have a girlfriend?”

“Tefo come on…”

“I will see you later then but we need to talk.

This is not a polygamous relationship. I don’t
have two girlfriends, as far as I am concerned I
am single.”

“Tefo a lot of men would kill to be in your

position. Having two women who are willing to
work together and make you happy. I don’t
know who told you that you breath in flavored
air but you need to get off whatever stage you
are on. You will not have this forever, Nolo and I
can always get someone else. I will see you
tonight at 8, will send you location pin. Be on
time.”

She hung up. Tefo looked at his phone for a

moment then tapped her number to call her
back but another call came through.

“Hello?”
“Hey Tefo, ke mmagwe Wame. My sister is
stranded. Her cab guy just bailed out on her and
she needs to get to work. She just got this job
and she can’t afford to be late. Can you pick her
up please.”

“Yeah sure, where does she stay?”

***

At Tumo’s house, Tumo fixed his tie staring at

himself in front of the mirror. He swallowed
feeling as if something was staring at him. He
turned but there was nothing. He turned back to
the mirror and screamed looking at a black
zombie like thing looking at him.

Amo walked in the bedroom and looked at him.

“Tumo!”

Tumo turned her shaking then slowly turned to

the mirror realizing he had smashed it. Amo
hurried over as his hand bled.

“What happened?”

“I…”

He swallowed shaking like a leaf. Amo sighed.

“Tumo what’s wrong? You are always having
nightmares and screaming during the day.”

Tumo swallowed. “I just… I think I am tired… I

am seeing.. things. I am just exhausted.”
He walked to the cabinet in his bedroom and
took the pills the doctor has recommended and
drank two. They usually helped but nowadays
he was seeing things more.

Amo sighed. “You need to see someone… I

don’t know what’s wrong with you but it’s
affecting everyone.”

“Yeah I will. I am sorry.”

She walked with him to the bathroom and

cleaned up his hand. Tumo walked out minutes
later with a bandaged hand. He grabbed his bag
and walked out calling his doctor.

He got in his car.

“Tumo..”

“The pills are not working. The nightmares are

back, stronger, vivid. They feel real. I feel
watched, something is after me. Someone is…
and I see things. I see it.. it’s everywhere. I
need something stronger.”

“Do you have history of mental disorders in your

family?”

“What? No!”

“Tumo I suspect you have schizophrenia.”

“I am not crazy! Ga ke tsenwe! I just need

something stronger.”

“Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder, it’s

very serious and it needs treatment, it makes
you interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia
may result in some combination of
hallucinations, delusions, and extremely
disordered thinking and behavior that impairs
daily functioning, and can be disabling. The
things you explain to me. You need help.”

“But I am not crazy!”

“Having schizophrenia doesn’t mean you are

crazy. If we don’t get it under control you are
going to spiral out if control. You need help.”

Tumo hung up and put his hands on his face.

There was a way to stop all this but he loved his
daughter.

“Fuvk!”

He swallowed and drove out.

***

Bonolo packed her books in her bag. Her phone

rang, she quickly picked.

“Hi…”

“Hey, I spoke to Tefo. We will meet tonight. I will

pick you up at school.”
Bonolo smiled. “Ok… what if he doesn’t come?”

“Then it will just be us… but he will come. Don’t

worry about it.”

“Ok.”

Momo walked in the room. Bonolo hung up and

looked at her swollen face in shock.

“What happened?”

Momo swallowed and opened her mouth.

Bonolo looking at her cousins missing tooth.
Tears filled Momo’s eyes. “I got in a fight at the
club.”

“Club? Weren’t you at Richard’s house?”

“We went to the club –“

“He beat you!”

“He didn’t.”

“He did! When are you going to leave him

Maemo?!”

“You wouldn’t understand. Richard loves me. I

made him do it. I caused all this.”
“What?”

“Its my fault. You wouldn’t understand. I want to

sleep.”

Bonolo looked at her in disbelief as she slowly

laid down carefully as if she was hurt all over
her body.

“He is going to kill you!”

“He loves me. You are jealous of me. Leave me

alone!”

She laid down sniffing. Bonolo shook her head

and walked out.
***

Tefo parked at the gate he had been directed to

and waited pressing his phone. Meanwhile
mmagwe Wame’s sister walked out of her gate
wearing a white shirt and a high waist pencil
dress that showed her body. She walked over to
the passenger door and looked at the driver
holding her handbag and laptop bag in the other
hand.

“Hi.”

Tefo turned, his throat drying up as he looked at

her freezing. She looked at him.

“Hi.”
Tefo blinked, words failing him as he stared at
her beautiful face. She pursed her lips confused.

“Uh… are you ok?”

Tefo swallowed. “Hi.”

“I just said hi two times.”

“Sorry.”

“For what?”

He smiled. “Nothing. Uh… mmagwe Wame’s

sister?”
“Yes. Amara. Please try to be punctual next
time. I hate late comers and I hate arriving late
at work. If you can’t do it say it now and let’s
save each other disappointments.”

He nodded. “Understood. I apologize for today.

There was traffic and –“

“Don’t apologize then justify your actions, that’s

no longer an apology.”

Amar got in the car. “Ok… we can go.”

Her sweet fragrance filled the car. He took a

deep breath and drove off as she put on her
seatbelt.

Amara pressed her phone as Tefo drove.

“Where is your office again?”

“CBD.”
He looked at her, Amara turned and looked at
him.

“What?”

“Seatbelt.”

She silently reached for it and clicked it in then

continued on her phone.

Tefo drove to CBD. Amara raised her head and

directed him.

“That building.”
Tefo nodded then parked.

“You work in government?”

She looked at him. “Yes. You can pick me up

every morning at 0745. Can you do that?”

“Eemma I can. Anything else I should note?”

She opened the door and looked at him. “Yes..

don’t be late Natefo.”

He smiled. “I don’t remember when last

someone called you by my real name.”

“I am not your friend so I will stick to full

names.”
Amara stepped out and closed the door then
walked to the building’s entrance, her heels
clacking on the pavement.

He laughed alone, he couldn’t remember when

last he had a feisty woman in his vicinity. He
smiled and drove off.

***

Amo spoke to her friend walking inside her

office.

“He’s completely lost it. I don’t know what it is

but whatever it is scares me.”
“Are you serious?”

“I am telling. He wakes up screaming every

night. He sees things everywhere. I don’t know
if it’s his dead mother haunting him for selling
the farm or what but I am scared now.”

“Eish friend…”

“We don’t even have sex anymore. He can’t get

it up. Nna mma I am starving. I miss sex, it’s
been months. Sometimes we start nicely then
he loses his erection along the way.”

“So what are you thinking?”

“I don’t know but I need someone who can help

me. I don’t want to cheat but I am thinking of
calling Les.”

“Ng Ng Amo. Come on. How do you want to

cheat on your husband with the man that gave
you two kids? He’s your boss too.”

“At least he knows what I like gape he’s

married so he will be careful. What should I do?
Tumo is underperforming and I don’t like to
touch myself. I just want a man. I am going to
try again tonight. If I fail then I don’t know
anymore.”

“Try again tonight.”

“Yeah.”
Amo hung up and sat comfortably on her chair.

***

Later that day, Momo woke up as phone rang

non stop. She reached over for it and looked at
Richard calling. She let it ring till it stopped
trying to hold her tears but they burnt his eyes.
She sniffed sitting up right.

He started calling again. Every part of her body

hurt so bad. She opened her Facebook as the
phone stopped ringing and thoughtfully
searched for Tefo.

She opened his profile and the lady picture he

had posted was him standing in front of a Run
X. He looked good too, as always. She scrolled
through his timeline trying to see if he had a
girlfriend but there was nothing.

Tears filled her eyes and dropped on her

phone’s screen.

In all the years she had been with Tefo he had

never put his hands on her or physically hurt her
unless it was sex that she very much enjoyed.

More tears fell on the phone. She put it down

and broke down crying. She wasn’t sure what
kind of love Richard had for her but it always
came with punched and kicks. He no longer
slapped her but punched her now.

Her phone started ringing again.

“Hello?”

“Baby I am sorry.”

“I am done Richard. I am done.”

“I am sorry. I am so sorry… please don’t leave

me. I love you. Please…”

“How do I catch you cheating and you hit me?”

“I am sorry. I wasn’t ok. I am sorry babe…

please..*

“I am done.”
“Momo… baby… please. I will change I promise.
I will change. Let’s go to Kasane. A new
environment will do us good. Come on, we will
go for boat rides.”

She closed her eyes crying. “I am done…you are

always beating me. Tefo never beat me! I regret
leaving him. I should have been patient. I regret
walking away.”

“Momo-“

“I don’t want you anymore. You can keep your

money and your car. Go to the girls you cheat
on me with. I am done.”

She hung up and blocked him.

***

Later on, Tefo carried dropped off his last

passenger by Riverwalk mall.

His phone rang as he took a u-turn going back

to the rank. He looked at Amar calling.

“Hi.”

“Where are you? You are supposed to be here.”

“You never said anything about me picking you

up. I think asking you if there’s anything else I
should note and you said nothing about being
picked up.”
“I thought… ok. Come and pick me up.”

“You must say please.”

“I am paying you!”

“And you could be giving me diamonds.

Please…”

She breathed out loud. “Please.”

“Ok, I will be there in 15 minutes or less.”

“Bye.”

She hung up. Tefo chuckled alone speeding to

her work place. He parked in front of her. Amara
got in the car silently. Tefo looked at her and
drove off.

Twenty minutes later he parked at her gate.

“Bye.”

She tried opening the door but Tefo locked all

doors turning off the engine. Amar turned to
him.

“What are you doing?”

“I came to pick you up as soon as I could, I

could have been busy or at home but I came.
The least you can do is be grateful.”

“You… Who said I wasn’t going to say thank

you?”

“You weren’t going to say it. The least you can

do is actually be grateful. You may be a boss in
your office but this is my car she you happen to
not have a car. You may feisty and all but you
are going to respect me so I respect you in
return. You need transport and I need money.
It’s a fair game..if you can’t handle it, arrange
for someone else. I will be here at 0715 sharp.
Goodnight.”

He unlocked the door. Amar stepped out and

looked at him..
“Thank you.”

She closed the door and walked away. Tefo

drove off headed to the hotel.

***

At the hotel, Osa opened the door for Tefo. He

looked at her, she was wearing a short silky
dress. He walked inside.

“Where is Bonolo?”

“Not yet here.”

Osa sighed.

“Sit down. We need to talk.”

Osa pointed at the chair in the room. Tefo sat

down.

Osa sighed. “We need to discuss a way forward

that works for all of us. First I don’t like your
attitude or how you talk to me or Bonolo. You
are arrogant and rude, whoever told you it was
sexy, it’s not. It’s a turn off. Be a beast between
the sheets, having that as a character is not
sexy. I tolerated it at first because you had me
divkmatized but I don’t like how you make me
feel like a child.”

He looked at her and sighed.. “Are you done?

Because I actually wanted tell you and Bonolo
that this thing… whatever you want to call it, I’m
out. I am doing much better emotionally and I
don’t need it anymore. It was fun while it lasted
but I won’t be a part of it anymore.”

.

Osa laughed.
“So I tell you how I feel and you use it as the
perfect opportunity to end things?”

“When you called me earlier on I told you I

wanted to talk to you. I have been wanting to
say it. I appreciate you telling me how you feel, I
will do better with the next woman I find and
actually love.”

Osa blinked. “If I may just ask… is it because I

am older?”

“You are not even that old so no. It’s the

circumstances we met in. I don’t think I can
ever love you. When I look at you all I see is
sex.”

“Don’t you think maybe it’s because you don’t

want to give it a chance?”

“Give what a chance Osa? We both got into this

knowing exactly what we were doing. I am
trying to set you free. Live your life, let Bonolo
do the same as well. I know your life doesn’t
revolve around me. You both are beautiful and
you will find the rightful people.”

Osa sat on the bed. Tefo walked over.

“I am sorry for how I treated you. I really am.

Please forgive me.”

He kissed her cheek then her lips.

“I have to go.”
“Nolo is coming… won’t you spend the night?
Just one last night.”

“After that mongwe le mongwe kwa ga

mmagwe akere?”

Osa chuckled. “Yes. Have you found someone?”

“No. Not yet.”

Someone knocked on the door. Osa walked to

the door and opened it then Bonolo walked
inside. She smiled looking at Tefo.

“Hi.”
“Hey.”

Tefo swallowed as the ladies smiled at one

another then kissed.

He put down his phone watching them. Osa

smiled then walked over to him and kissed him.

“Today is going to be different… we are going to

fuvk you.”

Tefo licked his lips as Bonolo undressed. Osa

pushed him on the bed. Tefo watched as they
both undressed and…

That evening, Tumo sat down in the sitting
room watching his kids playing. Amo walked
over and kissed him.

“I am putting them to bed.”

“Ok.”

Amo took both kids to their room. Tumo

swallowed. For the longest time he had the
perfect family or at least he convinced himself
he had. A wife, two kids, a good job.

He tried to think of the farm, they really didn’t

need the money, they were comfortable with
their lifestyle till Amo started comparing herself
to her sisters.
He stared at the TV for a while and finally Amo
walked over.

“Let’s go to bed. What are you thinking?”

“Nothing.”

He stood up and followed after her. Amo kissed

him closing their bedroom door taking off her
gown and remained naked. Tumo touched her
body kissing her more.

He picked her up and placed her on the bed.

Amo reached for his pants touching his hard dic
then she pulled pants down desperately.

Tumo kissed her sliding through inside her. She

moaned holding on to him then started
thrusting into her silently. He looked at her as
she moaned underneath him and continued
going in and out.

Tumo reached for her neck and squeezed. Amo

gasped he continuing fuvking her. He tightened
the hold on her neck strangling her. Amo looked
at him but he wasn’t letting go. He pressed both
hands cutting off her airway intake completely.
She scratched trying to get him to let go while
kicking her legs. Her p*ssy convulsed, Tumo let
go of her neck and thrust into her a couple
more times before sliding out.

Amo laughed. “Babe… that was… I liked it but I

thought…” She turned to him laughing. “I am not
used to…you doing that but I liked it. I
panicked.”
Tumo forced a smile. “I know. It’s ok.”

Amo kissed him. “I loved it.”

“Me too.”

Tumo sighed, she loved money so much, he

doubted her losing her daughter would hurt her.
He’d just take her for a vacation.

The following morning, Tefo walked out of his

house and jumped in his car. He drove off as
his phone rang.
He looked at Momo calling then stared at it for
a while before picking.

“Hello?”

“Hi. I am sorry for calling you so early. Are you

busy?”

“Its fine. How can I help you?”

“I just wanted to say hi and ask if we can meet

and talk.”

“About?”

“I want to apologize for how I treated you.”

“I’ve moved on.”

Momo sniffed. “I regret leaving. I am sorry. I am

so sorry. I was so caught up in trying to live a
certain lifestyle.”

“Then continue living it.”

“I don’t want it anymore. I want you. I want you

back.”

“What happened to your better boyfriend?”

“I don’t love him. He doesn’t do it like you. I

miss you.”
“I loved you so much and you broke my heart.
You said you found your type, you said I wasn’t
in your level anymore. I am still the same old
Tefo you left.”

“I want to come back.. I still love you. I’ve never

stopped. I have always loved you. There was no
way I would easily stop loving someone that I
loved for 3 years.”

“You are too late. Just go back to him. You will

learn to love him. His money should make
things easier. Sharp.”

He ended the call doing his morning pick and

drops.

By 0710 he parked at Amara ‘s house. She

walked minutes later, Tefo looked at her as she
approached the car and got in.

Tefo looked at her. “Good morning.”

“Hi.”

He drove off listening to soft music at a low

volume. He parked at her work place.

“What time do I pick you after work?”

“Half six.”

“Ok.”
She took a deep breath. “I am sorry for my
behavior yesterday. I am usually not like that
but that doesn’t justify me being rude and
disrespectful to you. I am sorry.”

Tefo smiled. “It’s ok. You never smile?”

She stepped out of his car. “Yes. Thank you.

Bye.”

Amara closed the door and walked to the

building’s entrance.

She turned and looked at him still watching him

then smiled walking inside. Tefo chuckled and
drove off going to pick the last child.
***

Bonolo walked inside her aunt’s house that

same morning. She sat down and texted Tefo.

Bonolo: Hi, can I talk to you? Just us?

Tefo: What’s going on?

Momo walked out of the room. She looked at

Bonolo.. “I am going to the clinic. Do you know
where Tefo moved to?”

Bonolo looked at her. “No. What do you want

from him?”

“I want to see him. I am fixing things.”

“Why? Because Richard is not what you thought
he’d be?”

“Maybe. I have always loved Tefo.”

“Richard beats you and you now remember

Tefo ebile now that he had a car! You think he
will take you back? What if he has moved on?”

“Then I will fight for him. I made a mistake

Bonolo. I am allowed to rectify it. The way I left
him was wrong but my reasons were right.
Love only can’t keep a relationship going. I also
wanted more. I am going back and I am going
to fix things.”

Momo walked out putting on a cap. Bonolo

looked at her phone.

Bonolo: I thought you were going to give us a

chance?

Tefo: You are Momo’s cousun, she loves you. I

am not going to come between the two of you.
Ficus on school.

***

Tumo walked out of his house with the kids.

Amo smiled walking behind him.

“I will see you later.”

“Yeah..”
He got in the car and drove off. Tumo dropped
his kids at school, he slowed down looking at
his brother’s car driving inside the premises
with a small kid at the backseat. Tumo drove
away calling a number.

“I just dropped them off. You can go.”

“Ok.”

“She is wearing a green jacket.”

Tumo hung up driving to his work place.

Later that day in the afternoon, Amo walked

with a document from the boardroom and went
inside her office. Her phone vibrated ringing.
She looked at her daughter’s teacher calling and
picked.

“Hi..”
“Mrs David, how are you?”

“I am fine, everything ok?”

“I have been trying to get hold of Mr. David but

he’s not picking. Did he come back to pick up
Freya?”

“Ma?”

“Kana Freya is not here. I thought both girls

didn’t come to school today till but then realized
after lunch break that we only have Zoe. I asked
her and says their uncle took Freya to daddy.”

“A what uncle? Let me call him.”

Amo hung up and called her husband. Tumo
picked.

“Hey babe, ke tswa mo meeting. I have missed

calls from Freya’s school teacher. Did she call
you.”

“Just did. Where is Freya?”

“At school.”

“Tumo stop messing with me. Come on.”

“Amo I dropped off the kids in the morning.”

“Freya’s teacher just called me saying that

Freya’s uncle took my daughter. What is Natefo
doing with my daughter? Apparently he said he
was taking her to you.”

“Tefo hasn’t spoken to me in months. Why

would I send him to take Freya? He doesn’t
even know her that well.”

“Tell your brother to return my child Tumo!

That’s my baby! I want my child!”

Tumo hung up. Amo swallowed panicking.

***

At Tumo’s office, Tumo called a number.

“Hi. You got her?”

“Yes.”

“I am coming.”

“Sure.”

Tumo hurried out of his office going to his car.

He called Tefo.

“What?”

“Hi, did you go and pick up Freya today?”

“Who?”
“Freya, my daughter. She’s missing from school.
Apparently her uncle picked her up saying he
will bring her to me.”

“Why would I do that? Are you fuvking with

me?!”

“I am just… we are panicking Tefo. I am just

trying to find my daughter.”

“I didn’t take her! I am not like you. Nxla!”

Tefo dropped the car driving off then called

Amo.

“Tumo-“
“Go to the school and ask for a CCTV camera. I
think maybe it’s your uncle or mine. She’s safe,
I know she is.”

“Tumo then why do I have a bad feeling? Did

you talk to Tefo?”

“I just did. He didn’t take her. I believe him.”

“Believe him? Tumo if something has happy to

my daughter –“

“She is fine. Go to the school.”

“Ok.”

Tumo ended the call driving to a deserted

building in Gaborone. A man walked over with
Freya who was crying.

She ran over to him crying. Tumo picked her up.

“Hey…hey…”

Freya put her head on his neck crying. Tumo

gave the man an envelope.

“You and I don’t know each other.”

“Ok.”

Tumo walked to his car and put his daughter at

the backseat. He jumped in the car and drove
off making a call.
“I am bringing her.”

“Do you have everything you are supposed to

bring?”

“Yes.”

“I am coming.”

Over thirty minutes later Tumo parked his car

and stepped out with his daughter.

“Daddy…”
“It’s ok. Daddy needs to take something then we
can go home.”

“I want to go to school. That man is a bad man.”

“I am sorry baby. He will never take you again.”

Tumo walked inside the bush, his heart racing.

He walked for a while. The traditional healer he
had been referred to looked at him then looked
at the daughter.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.”
Tumo swallowed. “Do I have to watch? Can I
wait in the car.”

“No. You need to be here because there is a

spirit following you around and it won’t rest till
this is done.”

Tumo rubbed his forehead. “What happens

when it’s done?”

“I am going to fill this little calabash with her

blood and I will guide you through the process.
Are you sure?”

Tumo looked around shaking. He looked at his

daughter who was clinging on to him.
Tears filled his eyes. “Ok.”

The man took Freya. She screamed crying

trying to hold on to Tumo but Tumo turned
looking away.

“You need to watch it happen…”

The man walked with her further away while

Freya screamed crying.

“Daddy! Daddy!”

Tumo looked around shaking, his ears ringing.

The man put Freya on the ground and picked
the knife.
Tumo swallowed as he lifted the knife and
lounged it deep in Freya’s chest.

He gasped wetting his pants instantly.

***

Osa sat in her office trying to finish off on her

report but her mind drifted off.

She rubbed her forehead then picked her phone

and called her friend.

“Osa…”

“Dineo I made a huge blunder. I really thought I

had trained my heart..”
“Its Tefo?”

“Its been just sex mostly. I was ok with that

because he did his part and I did mine.”

“You love him?”

Osa took a deep breath wondering how she was

supposed to say it. “I don’t know but yesterday
he ended things. Nkare I am going through a
heart break.” Osa laughed. “And I am dying to
call him.”

“Don’t. Let him go.”

“How do you let go of that dic Dineo? I don’t

know what this boy did to me. He had me
questioning my sexuality, questioning
everything.”

“I long told you. You stayed for far too long. Ene
he obviously doesn’t see beyond sex. Walk
away with your dignity intact. You can’t chase
after him. It’s ridiculous and stupid. Nna wa
ndisapointer because I thought you knew the
drill. You never stay for too long. Now look for
another one to get Tefo out of your system.
There is no other way around it. And what do
you mean he’s having you question your
sexuality?”

Osa paused knowing she’d be judged if she

really said what was in her heart.

“Uh I mean makes me question the age range I

am attracted to.”

“It’s not wrong to get turned on by someone

younger than you, the problem starts when you
think you can build a relationship with him.
Leave him. Don’t call him to reason. Don’t call
him for anything. Just move on. Keep it
moving.”

Osa took a deep breath listening to her friend.

***

Outside Gaborone in a forest, Tumo looked at

the traditional healer shaking after burying the
remains of the body. His shirt was wet from
sweat, Tumo wiped his mouth. The traditional
doctor knelt before the calabash and lit a few
incents chanting in a foreign language. Tumo
tried to close his eyes but all he saw was
Freya’s open chest.

He quickly got up and vomited again. The

traditional doctor frowned.

“This blood is not yours..”

Tumo looked at him. “What?”

“This child you brought me is not your child! All

we did was for nothing!”

“She’s my daughter!”

“She is not!”

At Freya’s school later that day, Amo took a

deep breath talking to the police as tears rolled
down her cheeks.

“You don’t understand. I know who took my

daughter.”

“We hear you but what I am saying is that from

the CCTV camera it shows that your brother in-
law drove in the school premises but left alone.”

“What if she’s in the boot? The cameras don’t

show everything so what if she’s in the boot?
He hates my husband. He’s angry because we
took all the money from his father’s farm. He’s
been angry at us!”

“We will go and talk to him after we question

everyone here. We are still trying to understand
how a 3 year old can go missing in a school full
of teachers and security guards.”

“Tefo has her! Why are you not listening to

me?!”

Amo started crying. She took her phone and

called Tumo but he still didn’t pick. She put her
hands on her face sobbing.

***

Tumo watched his wife calling again and

ignored the call driving. He swallowed rubbing
his eyes. She called again. Tears rolled down.
Tumo wiped them and reached for it answering.

“Amo..I am looking babe.”

“Tefo took her Tumo. He took her… I just want

my daughter. I want my daughter. We watched
the CCTV camera and he is there in the video.
It’s him. What was he doing there? Who’s child
was he dropping off?”

“He turned his car into a cab. Let me just go and

talk to him. He’s probably at the rank but I know
it’s not him.”

“How do you know-“

“Have you spoken to all your friends? Your

sisters?*

“They didn’t take her. We saw Tefo’s car in the

CCTV camera.”

“I saw him in the morning but he was dropping

off one of client’s daughter.”

“I want my daughter.” Amo cried more.

***

At the taxi rank, Tumo parked his car and

looked around. He took a deep breath waiting,
thirty minutes later Tefo parked his inside the
rank next to other cabs and passengers inside
stepped out. Tumo put on a glove and hurried
over holding a plastic behind him as Tefo
walked to a group of cab driver’s that were
debating over something.

Tumo looked around then opened the boot

slightly and threw the plastic inside. Another
driver looked over.
“Wa kae?”

Tumo smiled taking off the glove behind his

back then pushed it in his back pocket.

“I am Natefo’s brother.”

“Oh… Tefo!”

Tefo turned and walked over. Tumo looked at

him.

“I am sorry for just rocking up .. I just.. Freya is

missing and I think she was kidnapped. I know
it wasn’t you, you’d never do that. I am actually
very scared.”
Tefo sighed. “Does the police know?”

“Yes..I think so. I’ve been looking for her. I saw

you in the morning at the school. The police
might call you but I know you didn’t do it. I am
scared.. what if…what if-“

“Be positive. She will be found. It’s less than 12

hours, the chances of her being found are very
high. Don’t lose hope.”

Tumo nodded. “I will keep you updated.”

Tefo watched his brother walk away and

breathed out locking his car.
***

Tumo drove off headed to the school shaking.

He slowed down at a traffic light calling Amo.

“Tumo-“

“Where is the police?”

“Here… my husband wants to talk to you.”

“Morena..”

“Dumelang… I have called every relative I could

possibly call, every friend. I have searched
everywhere… my child was kidnapped. There’s
no question about that now. What are you doing
to find her?”

“We have alerted other stations. They have

started to look. We just finished questioning
the school. We need to talk to you. You can
come to the police station. We are also going to
call your brother.”

“He is my brother, he’d never do it. But you can

call him. We will meet you at the police station.”

***

Tefo walked to his car picking a landline call.

“Hello?”
“Hi. It’s Amara. Is it possible to pick me up now
at work? Are you busy?”

“I am coming. I am taking you home?”

“Yes.”

Tefo unlocked his car and jumped in. He drove

to her offices, 10 minutes later he parked.

Amara walked over and got in.

“Hi.”

“Hey.”
He reversed and drove off headed to her house.
He looked at her stressed face.

“Are you ok?”

She turned to him. “My kitchen tap is leaking.

The.. leak got worse and my neighbor called
because the water is flowing outside the
house.”

“Did you ever call someone to fix it?”

“Yes but it started again a week after. I tried to

tape it.”

Tefo parked at her house.

“Can I take a look?”

“Are you a plumber?”

Tefo smiled. “No but I think I can do a much

better job than you did.”

She looked at him for a while. “Only because my

sister said you are good man. You can come
in.”

Tefo followed her inside the house. They both

walked to the kitchen where water was on the
floor.

“I will take a broom.”

Amara hurried off to grab a broom. Tefo
disconnected her radio and pushed it out of the
kitchen. He looked at where the leakage was
coming from then took off his shoes and socks
and pulled his pants. Amara walked over with a
broom.

“Go and close the water outside.”

She nodded then took off her shoes and

stepped on the water going to the kitchen door.
She unlocked it and walked outside to close the
water. Tefo twisted the tap taking it off
completely.

Amara walked back in house as he tried to fix

the tap.
Minutes later Tefo put it back and twisted it
tightly.

“Open the water.”

Amara stepped out and opened it. Tefo

observed and there was nothing coming out
anymore.

“It was not tightened but get a proper plumber

to look at this tap.”

Amara walked towards the sink missing her

step. She screamed falling. Tefo pulled her
hand but it was already too late. Amara landed
on her wet floors.
“Aow!”

“Are you ok?”

He helped her up. She tried to keep a serious

face then laughed.

“O bata go ntshega. (You want to laugh at me.)”

Tefo burst into laughter. Amara pushed him

laughing.

“Mxm o moloi.”

“I wasn’t going to laugh till you laughed. Are you

ok?”
She nodded. “Yes. Thanks for fixing the tap
too.”

“Cool.”

He looked at her wet dress and smiled. “Bye.”

He walked out of the kitchen and out on his

socks and shoes then fixed his jeans.

Amara watched him walk put and drove off.

***

Tefo answered a call driving away.

“Yeah?”

“Is this Natefo David?”

“Yes.”

“Eerra we are calling from the police. Can you

come by our offices to answer a few
questions.”

“Is this about Freya? I didn’t take her!”

“We hear you but we do need to take your

statement. Just come, it will be quick.”
***

At the police station, Tefo stepped out of his

car and walked past his brother’s car. Inside
the police station, Tumo looked at his brother.

“Hi..I’m sorry for all this.”

“I hope it’s quick. I need to go and start

collecting the students.”

One of the police officers walked over to him.

“Can we have your car keys and just do a
search…”

Tefo handed him the car keys and followed

another police officer. Tumo turned shaking. He
wiped his forehead. Amo walked inside.

“Did you find her?”

“Tefo is here.”

Amo looked at his clothes. “Where are your

clothes?”

“They got dirty when I was searching for Freya. I

bought new ones.”

Amo nodded and sniffed. “I am scared.”

“I know..me too. We will find her.”

*

Thr police officer outside unlocked Tefo’s car

wearing gloves then opened every door
searching for anything though he knew they
wouldn’t find anything. Usually on cases like
this, it could either be just a stranger or
someone very close to the child. The parents
were always the first suspects. He sighed
closing the doors, he actually suspected the
father. There was something off about him. He
couldn’t put a finger to it but he looked guilty of
something.

He opened the boot and almost closer it but his

eyes fell on a black plastic. He reached for it.
His heart skipped as he took out clothes
drenched in blood, they matched the
description of the clothes the mother had given.

In the interrogation room, the police officer

taking Tefo’s statement looked at him.

“Do you have someone who can confirm your

whereabouts today?”

“They should confirm it at the rank.”

“Ok. O seka wa hela pelo because right now we
are just following procedure.”

Someone knocked on the door. The police

officer walked out. Tefo sighed looking at the
time. The police officer walked back inside
minutes later. He looked at Tefo.

“You are really good. I have to give it to you..I

really thought you were innocent.”

Tefo looked at him confused. “What?”

“You heard me. We just found Freya’s bloody

clothes in your boot. Want to tell me where you
got them from?”
“My boot? My boot has nothing.”

“If I were you I’d just come clean Tefo. You have
been caught.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about! What

do you mean I have been caught?”

“We found your brother’s daughter’s clothes in

your boot. They are covered in blood! Where is
she? Were you that angry over money that you
decided to kidnap your brother’s child?! Where
is she Tefo?!”

“I didn’t take her! I don’t know what you are

talking about. Go and check my-“
“Those people at the rank were not with you as
you did your pick and drops. Freya went missing
in the morning, my guess is that you took her in
the morning, did whatever you wanted to do
with you and drove to the rank.”

“I didn’t take her. From her school I went to pick

one of my customers at 0715. I dropped her off
then went to the rank. By 0730 I was at bus rank.
Even if I took her, don’t you think I needed more
time to hide her? Use common sense! I didn’t
take her! I didn’t!”

“The evidence we need to put you away was

found in your car. How did her bloody clothes
find their way inside your boot? They flew inside
there?”
Tefo laughed. “I didn’t do anything. If you think
lying to me will have me confessing to
something I didn’t do forget it. I didn’t do
anything.”

The police officer sighed. “Natefo let me tell

you what’s going to happen. The evidence
found in your car is going to be tested to really
confirm it’s her but while we wait you will be
put inside because the clothes tsone belong to
Freya. I am charging you with kidnap, you are
going to tell us where you put her. If she’s dead
then you will be charged with child abduction
and murder of a minor. You will go to court and
you are going to jail for more than 10 years,
trust me. The judge though may have mercy on
you if you don’t waste our time, just tell us what
happened, let’s get her body right now if she’s
dead and the process can start. You denying
what’s right in front of us is what’s going to
make everyone angry. Imagine the media
finding out, the whole country is going to find
out. Natefo do you realize you can get hung?”

“I didn’t take her. I don’t know where she is. I

haven’t seen that kid in almost two years. I
don’t know where she is. I want a lawyer.”

“A what? A lawyer? Can you afford a lawyer?!”

“I want a lawyer. I need to make a call.”

“Ok then.” The police officer stood up. “Natefo

David, You are under arrest for the kidnapping
of Freya David. You have the right to remain
silent. Whatever you say may and will be used
against you in the court of law.”
The police officer pulled Tefo up and
handcuffed him.

***

Amo cried hysterically in her husband’s arms.

“I want my child. I told you Tefo took him! I told

you!”

Tumi swallowed trying to calm her down. “Let

the forensic run the DNA tests on the blood. I
think they may need me as her father for further
confirmation.”

Amo looked at him. “They said they are going to

profile the blood and… akere GPH already has
her blood so they are going to confirm there.”

“Let me just go.”

“Please don’t leave me. We need to stay

together incase Tefo tells the police where my
baby is.”

“Amo, I need to know if the blood is here or

not.”

“Let them do their job! They will call you if they

need you.”

“I am trying to help them! You can come with.”

“They never said anything about you testing.”

“Amogelang what’s wrong? This is my child! I
want to find her. I don’t want any delays.”

Amo swallowed then started crying even more.

Tumo looked at her fighting the urge to slam
her against the wall as he got angry. All those
years she had just looked at him, watched him
raise a child that wasn’t his. He found himself
wondering if Zoe was even his. She didn’t look
like him.

Two police officer’s walked towards them with

a lady from forensics.

“May we just swab the both of you for cross

examination.”
Amo swallowed as Tumo opened his mouth.
The lady took a swab then put it in an airtight
plastic bag. She turned to Amo.

“You too.”

Amo opened her mouth slowly then the lady

swabbed her too.

“Thank you.”

Amo watched the lady walk away fearfully.The

police officer looked at the parents then the
father.

“Your brother has been arrested.”

Tumo looked at him and nodded. “So it’s him?”

“Yes.”

Tumo put his hands on his face as the police

officer observed him. He walked away going to
his supervisor who was handling the case.

“I don’t think the brother did it.”

“Molf-“

“He didn’t do it. That girl knew he had nothing to

hide. There is no way I can murder someone
and keep the evidence. That evidence was
placed there.”
“By who?”

“Him. The father. He did it. I have been

observing him since he came. His daughter was
confirmed missing in the afternoon. It took
more than three hours for him to avail himself.
Where was he looking for his daughter? Exactly
where? We need to check his phone, everyone
he called today. He came here with a weak
funny story trying to act like he is worried. He is
not worried, he is acting guilty. His eyes keep
shifting around. He doesn’t look sad, he looks
scared. Give me a chance to talk to him.”

“When did you graduate Molefe?”

“Two years ago.”

“I have been doing this for 12 years. You can’t
teach me how to do my job. We have the
murderer. He just has to confess where he put
the body and this case will be solved.”

“I am not trying to teach you how to do your job

but I have a strong hunch that it’s not him. That
kid’s father knows something. I just need to talk
to him. That’s all.”

“No. I don’t need to remind you who I am

Molefe! Stay in your lane.”

Molefe nodded walking away. Tumo walked

outside. Molefe followed him out.

“I am really sorry. You must be scared.”

Tumo turned and nodded. “I am very scared.”

“Do you think your brother did it?”

“My daughter’s clothes were found in his boot.

He did it.”

“Her dress was torn, I wonder what exactly he

did to her.”

“Its not a dress. A top and jean.”

Molefe nodded. “Do you think someone may be

framing him?”

“No. He had his car the whole day.”

“It’s a shame. I am really sorry. Her top has the
most blood. I wonder if it’s from shooting her.
Or maybe he hit her. Or cut her.”

“She was stabbed.”

“A screwdriver? I am sure he carries a tool box.”

“It’s a knife.”

“How do you know?”

“What?”

“How do you know? About the top and jeans too.

We didn’t tell you which clothes we found. How
do you know it was a jean and top or that she
was stabbed with a knife?”

“I don’t…I know she was wearing a jean and a

top on the morning and I am just guessing it’s a
knife.”

“You didn’t say I think… you said it’s a knife. You

sounded so sure.”

“I was just assuming.”

“Assuming what? You are framing him!”

“I would never do that-“

“You met with him and put the plastic in the
car.”

“I didn’t –“

“You murdered your daughter!”

“Why? Why would I do that? I have no reason to-

“

“Yeah you had one. You were angry, you were

upset and –“

“I didn’t do it!”

“You are a murderer!”

Tumo breathed heavily as his ears rung. “Stop!”

“You did it! You killed your daughter with a knife

-“

“Stop-“

Molefe’s supervisor walked over. “Molefe!”

Molefe looked at Tumo raising his voice.

“You did it! You did it! Admit it! Admit it!”

“I didn’t mean to damnit!” He paused then

shook his head. “I just lost my daughter, I am
confused –“

The supervisor sighed. “Mr David, come inside.

You are going to tell us where you put your
daughter.”

Tumo looked at both of them.

“You can’t be accusing me of kidnapping my
own child.”

Molefe smiled. “No one is accusing you of

anything. You just admitted to the crime. Come
inside, o toka o re tseela kotase.”

Tumo looked at him then walked back inside

the police officer calling his lawyer. The
supervisor looked at Molefe and sighed. The
guys above him had long asked him to start
handing out cases to the juniors.

“Molefe…”

Molefe turned. “Yes?”

“You can take the case.”

Molefe smiled. “Thank you.”

He led Tumo to the interrogation room. Tumo

sighed. “I am not saying anything till my lawyer
gets here.”

“That’s ok. You are not forced to talk. You

know… I know you.”

Tumo looked at him.

“I know you. The last you were here… it was

about your mother. The Kanye police station
was handling the case. You were last seen with
your mother and your mother was found dead
later that day. I didn’t get to really follow the
case but apparently autopsy showed that she
was strangled to death. Right?”

“What does my mother have to do with this?”

Molefe sat on the desk. “It was your brother

who was pushing for the case. That’s where I
am getting at. Your brother believed it was you
who did it because of some farm that was sold
or something like that. I will be confirm but I
think that was the case. Your mother was going
to contest the sale or take the money.
Something like that.”

“I didn’t do it that’s why I haven’t been arrested

right? Freya is my daughter!”
“Yet you admitted to the crime.”

“No one heard me admit anything. And you

were harassing me. I am going to file a case
against you.”

Molefe laughed. “I guess it’s safe to say you are

good at this. This murder thing.”

“I didn’t do it.”

“Right now I’m trying to figure out why…”

“Why would I hurt my own baby?”

“A good question I will find an answer to. The
first time you got away with it. But this time…
this time I am sending you to jail. You admitted
to a crime. You killed your child. We are going
run DNA tests on that plastic that came with the
clothes… we are going to do a thorough
examination on your car. We are going to find
everyone you called, texted. I am going to send
you to jail. That’s a promise.”

Tumo looked at him and smirked. “You can try.”

Molefe smiled. The door opened then Tumo’s

lawyer walked in. Molefe got up. Tumo’s lawyer
sighed.

“I think that’s enough talking for today. Unless

my client is under arrest this questioning stops
now. Is he under arrest? I hear you have the
suspect in holding or that’s lie?”

“I think we are done.”

Molefe looked at Tumo. “Good luck. You will

need it.”

Molefe walked out. His supervisor looked at

him. They both walked to his office.

“What is your plan?”

“There are cameras at the shops opposite the

rank. I am going to check them out so I can see
which one is facing the rank. He planted that
evidence in his brother’s car. His brother is an
easy target. He was at the school that morning
dropping off a student.”

They walked inside the office. Molefe picked a

pen and paper and started with a mind map. He
wrote Tefo and circled his name. “Tefo is
already placed in the center of this case. He
was there in the morning, at the school the child
went missing. He was out within 5 minutes. He
has motive which makes him even more guilty.”

Molefe wrote Zoe’s name. “This is the sister

who witnessed Freya being taken. Kids are
smart. She’s four. She must have a certain
things she remembers about the uncle but
mostly she should be able to identify Tefo.
She’s an unreliable source but she helps set the
floor. Third is Tumo. The father…” Molefe
looked at his supervisor. “From school, he must
have had someone pick up his daughter.
Someone pretending to be the kid’s uncle. They
must have met somewhere for him to take this
child. From there he did whatever it is he did to
her, disposed her body then took the clothes to
his brother at the rank. Slipped them when his
brother wasn’t watching and went off. If he
touched Tefo’s boot then we should be able to
find his finger prints.”

“And his wife?”

“She has something against her brother in-law.

Of cause she wouldn’t like him after he almost
sent her husband to jail but she… she doesn’t
know. I want to talk to Natefo.”

***
Osa walked inside her house reading the
Facebook post that was trending.

‘My child was abducted at school earlier on

after her father dropped her off together with
her sister. After an afternoon of me going crazy
and my husband searching everywhere, the
police just found out that it’s my brother in-law
who took her. Her clothes were found in his
boot covered in her blood. I am scared and still
praying she is still found alive. She is innocent,
he has been angry with my husband so he’s
trying to take it out on my baby. Natefo David
please bring back my daughter I am begging
you. If it’s money you want I will give it to you.
Just bring back my daughter.”

Osa swallowed re-reading the post. The amount

of shares and comments on the post weakened
her knees even further.

“God Nate noo…”

She dropped her bag and went to her contacts

to call her.

His phone rang then he picked.

“Hi.”

“Thank God! Nate what’s going on? Your sister

in-law just posted something disturbing on her
Facebook.”

“I didn’t do it.”
“Her daughter’s clothes?”

“Someone planted them to frame me. I didn’t do

it.”

“Nate what are you saying?! Who would frame

you? You were angry at your brother.”

“Yes but not enough to hurt his daughter. I am

better than that. If I wanted to hurt him then I
would have hurt him personally. His daughter
did nothing to me.”

“Nate her post has reached a lot of people!”

“Do you believe me?”

“Natefo-“

“I didn’t do it. Do you believe me?”

“I will call my lawyer.”

She hung up and called her lawyer.

“Osa..”

“Hi, remember the friend of who’s mother was

killed? He’s being accused of murder.”

“Oh yes, I saw that.”

“Can you help him?”

“Yes.”

“Ok. Let me call him and call you back.”

She hung up about to call Tefo but Dineo’s call

came through.

“Dineo..”

“Did you see?”

“Yes. I am getting him a lawyer.”

“Osa what are you doing? Do you realize that

this will expose you? Are you prepared to be
part of it? Your secret of you sleeping with him
will come out! You will be exposed! Is that what
you want? For people to know you are sleeping
with a low life? Even hiring lawyers for him? Did
you think about that? What will the people you
work with think about you? What about your
image? Every success you have ever achieved
will be buried with you sleeping with him. They
will drag you! What will the media say? You
were just featured in a magazine, this will
destroy your image! ”

She swallowed. “Dineo..-”

“You may be required to be a witness to prove

that he’s incapable of it. The prosecutor will dig
deep into his life. Does he have a temper?
Things like that will be asked. You know he has
a temper, why would you risk everything you
have ever worked hard for? For dic too? Osa are
you serious?! Is that what you want?”

Osa swallowed listening.

“Stay away from this. This is not the drama you

want.”

“But I care about him.”

“If I were I’d even go for a vacation. Let him sort

himself out.”

“What if he goes to jail?”

“Osa he’s not your child. And this case will cost
you thousands.”

Osa swallowed. She hung up and called Tefo.

“Hey..”

“I am sorry but I can’t help you. I don’t want our

affair to come out Tefo.. what will happen to my
image if people find out that I have been
sleeping with someone who is younger than me?
I have kids and an image to protect. I don’t want
people gossiping about me. My ex owns a law
firm, you are just a what? Cab driver. What does
that say about me? You are just a low life
compared to my ex. You were right about
ending things. I think it’s about time. If you
mention me I will deny you and sue you for
defamation of character. Never call me. We are
done!”

Osa hung up and took a deep breath guiltily.

Dineo was right. She was a senior executive,
what would her juniors say about her?

She couldn’t afford that kind of drama being

linked to her image. She had worked hard to be
where she was.
Her phone rang startling her.

“Bonolo..”

“Hi, did you see what Amo posted? She has

always hated Tefo. That woman is evil.”

“What if he did it?”

“Tefo would never kill an innocent child.”

“Maybe..maybe not. You don’t know him.”

“I am telling you he’d never hurt him.”

“You need to be careful. And you can’t be
talking about him like this to your cousin. That’s
how she will find out that you have been
sleeping with him. Is her finding out what you
want?”

“No but-“

“But nothing. Choose your battles. There is

nothing you can for him so stay away from the
situation.”

“So you won’t help him?”

“I have a lot that needs my attention. I can’t

afford hiring a lawyer for Nate.”
“Yet you were planning to-“

“I wasn’t thinking straight. Can we just stop all

this nonsense? It’s sex led and I am even
ashamed that I found myself in a situation with
someone as young as you or him. I am a grown
woman and all this need to stop. I really liked
you but Nate murdering his niece has put things
into perspective for me. All this has to stop. I
am pulling out.”

She hung up then blocked both Tefo and Bonolo.

***

Bonolo looked at her phone in disbelief then

tried calling her again but the call didn’t go
through. Momo walked out of their room in a
tracksuit.

“Who were you talking to?”

Bonolo smiled. “A class mate. We have a group

project together. We are supposed to submit
tomorrow.”

“Ok… I am going out. Richard is here.”

“Richard? Weren’t you saying you are going

back to Tefo?”

“Ng Ng. Richard and I are working on things.

He’s been apologizing. He is getting help, he
has a problem. We are going to Kasane next
week for some fresh air.”
“You don’t have a tooth because of him.”

“Yes but he’s booking me an appointment with

a dentist. We are working through things
Bonolo. Don’t be judgemental. He clearly has a
problem.. there’s no way he’d be behaving like
that if he didn’t have a problem.”

“So a trip to Kasane is what’s making you

forgive him? He’s going kill you! Can’t you see
he doesn’t love you? He’s abusive.”

“Bonolo you wouldn’t understand. I don’t expect

you to. Is he not allowed to make mistakes. At
least he’s admitted to having a problems. Now
he’s getting help. I am not going back to a man
who’s in jail for murder.”
A car hooted. “Tell mama I went to Bontle’s
house. Bye.”

Maemo walked out. She got in the car then

Richard kissed her. “I missed you so much. I am
really sorry baby..”

He reached for a bouquet of flowers and gave

them to her. Maemo blushed getting them.
Richard kissed her.

“I love you. I love you so much I don’t want to

ever lose you. I am sorry for everything. Please
forgive me.”

Maemo smiled showing her front missing tooth.

“I love you too.”
Richard smiled and drove off with her.

***

Tefo looked at the police officer.

“I am not talking till I get a lawyer. I have a right

to a lawyer.”

Molefe nodded. “You do understand that

proving your innocence is going to be hard
right?”

“I did nothing. I don’t know that kid. I haven’t

seen her in over two years. She did nothing to
me, I didn’t take her.”
“So how did the clothes get in your car?”

“Someone put them there? Your passengers?

Your friends at the rank? Who?’”

“I don’t know.”

“Tefo help me help you.”

“I didn’t take her. I was at the school to drop off

another child. I didn’t even see Tumo. I left as
soon as the kid I had was out of my car and
went to pick another client of mine. By 0715 I
was at her house. I didn’t have Tumo’s child
was with me.”
“That doesn’t prove anything. You need to start
working with me if we are going to find the real
murderer. You can get a lawyer but till we find
another person linked to this you remain the
murderer and you will be charged with murder.
Who is going to believe you were framed when
there’s no evidence that says you are not. I
need to know how you spent your day today.”

Tefo kept quiet. Molefe walked out. Tefo put his

hands on his face frustrated. It all felt like one
big bad dream.

A thought came to mind but there was no way

that was possible unless….

Tefo shook his head. Tumo had killed his own

mother, what if his child. He was very capable
of it.
Molefe walked in. “We-“

“Tumo did it. I found him standing by the boot

when he came to see me. It’s him!”

Molefe looked at Tefo. In order to catch Tumo,

the guy had to believe he had gotten away then
he’d get sloppy in his actions.

“You are going to your cell.”

***

That evening at the police station, Amo

swallowed as the forensic woman walked over
with a police officer.
“Unfortunately the blood found indeed is your
daughter’s.”

Amo gasped then started crying. “I am really

sorry Mr and Mrs David.”

The forensic woman walked away. Tumo

swallowed and followed after her.

“Are you sure?”

“100% sure.”

“Maybe you made a mistake and-“

“We didn’t. I am really sorry Mr. David but it’s
her. You are a great step dad.”

She walked away. Tumo walked back to Amo.

“Let’s go home.”

“I am not going anywhere without my daughter

Tumo. I want my daughter. I want my daughter!”

She cried uncontrollably. Tumo rubbed his eyes.

“We need to let the police do their job. They are

already searching.”

“I want my daughter! I want her!”

Tumo helped Amo up. “They will find her. We
can’t stay in the police station forever. They will
find her. Let’s go.”

He pulled her out and helped her in the car.

Tumo jumped in and drove off while Amo cried.
A while she was quiet.

Tumo slowed down and looked at her.

“You keep saying my daughter. Isn’t she ours?”

“She is.”

“That forensic lady told me something.”

“What?”

“That the results on my tests shows that I am

not Freya’s father.”

“What?”

“She said I am great step dad!”

Amo stopped sniffing. “What does that mean?”

“You tell me! I am not her father?”

“Why would you even ask me that Tumo?

Weren’t you there when I was pregnant with
her?”
“So? I want you to tell me if it’s mine!”

“They made a mistake!”

“They did? Ok. I will retest tomorrow..maybe

also take Zoe with.”

“Tumo our daughter is missing and all you can

think is DNA tests?”

“Yes!” He hit the stirring wheel angrily. “That’s

all I am thinking! That you lied! You are a liar!
That’s what I am thinking!”

“I am going to sue those people! These kids are

yours! You are on their birth certificates.”
“I am doing DNA tests tomorrow.”

Amo looked at him and burst into tears. Tumo

ignored her driving. Something touched his
neck. Tumo jumped trying to hit swaying the car.

“Tumo!”

He stepped on the breaks. Amo looked at him

shaking.

“Tumo!”

Something was in the car. He could feel it. He

reached for the pills he had gotten and put 4 in
his mouth. He took the bottle of water and
drank to swallow the pills.

“Tumo what are those?”

“My head is aching..I need it to stop.”

He closed the water to put it away but the water

turned dark red. He threw out the bottle shaking.
Whatever that was in the car was behind him.
He turned to his wife.

“Something is in the car.. at the back.”

Amo turned. “There is nothing. What’s wrong?

You are shaking.”

“It’s there I can feel it.”

“Tumo what’s wrong?”

He swallowed and stepped on the accelerator

driving home. Minutes later he parked the car
and quickly stepped out. He walked in the
house.

“Tumo…”

Amo hurried behind him. He walked in the

bedroom and sat at the corner of room shaking.

THREE WEEKS LATER…

Three Weeks Later…

At First Offenders Prison in Gaborone, Tefo

played chess with other prisoners as they
laughed together.

“Checkmate!”

“Ahh monna Tefo!”

Tefo laughed with other prisoners. “You are not
thinking your moves through. You need to think
about it.”

“Ok ok.. let’s start again.”

The other prison shook his head. “Ahh Spikiri, I

said I am next!”

“Aren’t you just scamming people that they won

orange money prizes today? Kana wena o
bereka ko call center!”

“It’s my turn!”

A prison guard walked over.

“Natefo! It’s time boy!”

Tefo turned confused. “What?”

“You have just been bailed out.”

Other prisoners sat down sadly.

“Ahh! Didn’t no one come for his bail hearing?”

“Well someone just bailed him out. Let’s go!”

Tefo bumped fists with them. “Sharp

malaitaka!”

He got up and followed the prison guard. Over

thirty minutes later Tefo walked out of the
prison. His uncle stepped out of his car smiling.
Tefo walked over to him and hugged him.

Tefo laughed. “I had given up.”

“Never my boy. I sold two vows. I was waiting

for payment. As soon as they paid me I came
here.”

“Thank you.”

“Let’s go home and tell me exactly what

happened.”

***
At GPH, Tumo sat with Amo as the nurse took
out the DNA results. Amo swallowed. The nurse
looked at them.

“This are third results tested. We understand

that this is a sensitive matter. After a thorough
and careful analysis, the results indicate that
there is no biological relationship between Mr.
Tumo David and Zoe David.”

Tumo swallowed. Amo shook her head. “She is

his! This results are not correct.”

Tumo blinked tearfully.

The nurse carried on. “This results are certain.

It’s crucial to remember that DNA testing is
highly accurate. We have rerun them 3 times. I
recommend a conversation between the both of
you about this issue. And maybe seek
counseling to navigate around the situation.”

Tumo sighed. “We have wasted 12k for

testing… and you knew. You have been
knowing.”

Amo started crying. “Tumo they are not

accurate. Babe..”

“Why? Why?”

“They are not true.”

“When will you admit the truth?”

She shook her head crying.

“So you were going to let me raise children that

are not mine. For how long Amo? For how long?
Till I died?!”

“Tumo-“

“Who are they for?”

“I thought they-“

“Who? Who is it?!”

“Tumo I’m sorry.”

Tumo got up pulled her by neck then started
strangling.

“Who?! Who is it?!”

Amo tried to talk but he had a strong grip on her.

The nurse stood up pressing the emergency
button and started pulling Tumo screaming for
help.

“Help! I need help!”

A doctor burst in and pulled Tumo. He let go of

Amo and laughed like a mad man.

“Who? Your boss? Is it him?”

Amo cried as the nurse hugged her.

“Is it him you whore! I found you in the trash! I

cleaned you up! Took you to school! I fed you
and put clothes on your back! This is how you
repay me? Bringing me bastard children! This is
it?”

Amo cried even more. The doctor pulled Tumo

outside.

“I understand you are angry-“

“Angry?” Tumo laughed crying. “Angry? She’s

been lying to me. We did three tests!” He put
three fingers in the air. “Three! She knew with
every single one of them! She fucken knew!”
“I am sorry but you need to calm down. She’s
not worth going to jail for.”

“She had nothing when I found her. She was

selling airtime on the side of the road. I took her
in, loved her. She turned me against my family! I
loved her!”

Tumo put his hands on his face crying.

“Everything I have ever done was for her.. I did it
all for her! This is what I get?”

Amo walked out. “Tumo I am sorry.”

He nodded. “Ok.”

“Babe nothing had to change.”

He nodded. “Ok. I am going home.”

He walked out. The nurse looked at Amo.

“Let him cool down.”

“We will be fine, thank you.”

“He is angry.”

“He is my husband. I can handle him.”

Amo followed after him. “Tumo…babe…”

Tumo got in the car. Amo jumped in then he

drove off silently. She looked at him in trying to
read him but she couldn’t tell me what he was
thinking.

He drove them home and walked inside the

house. She pulled his hand.

“I am sorry. We can fix this baby. We can have

another baby. Let’s have another baby.”

He smiled. “Yeah?”

“Yes.. now. We can do it now.”

“Ok.”

Amo smiled kissing him then took off her dress.

“Come..”

“Go and wait for me in the bedroom. Let me

gather myself.”

“Ok.”

She walked to the bedroom. Tumo to the

kitchen and walked back with a knife.

He walked in the bedroom where Amo was lying

on the bed. She looked at the knife in his hand

“Tumo..-“

“You really think I am stupid huh?”

“No.. no… Tumo-“

“That I am an idiot. Right?”

She quickly got up from the bed but Tumo

pulled her with her leg stabbing her thigh. Amo
screamed in agony.

Tumo laughed. “I did it! Yes I did it! I killed my

mother! I did it for you baby. So we can keep the
money. It was for you.”

Amo breathed out loud looking at the knife

deep in her thigh. Tumo smiled.

“What’s wrong? I have always done everything

for you. What’s wrong now?”

“Tumo-“

“I killed Freya too. Her death was supposed to

fix everything but she wasn’t mine do she died
for nothing. You know… she screamed. In pain.
He stabbed her chest then did it again while she
cried. Over and over then took out her heart.
She bled a lot too.”

“Tumo…”

“I buried her in the forest. I did it for us!” He

screamed. “Aren’t you happy baby?”

Amo looked at his wild eyes. He laughed. “Are

you happy?”

“You killed my child –“

“Yes! Now it’s you! You cost me a lot. God I

could never guess you were the devil all along.”

He pulled the knife. Amo gasped as blood

spilled. Tumo raised the knife to stab her chest.
Amo blood with her hands, the knife went
through her palm

She screamed trying to jump off but he pulled it

out and sank it on her chest. She screamed in
pain and terror. Tumo pulled it out and stabbed
her again and again till there was blood
everywhere and she was quiet.
He took a deep breath looking at her read body.
For a while he sat there in complete silence.

Over two hours later he got up and walked out

going to his car. He jumped in and drove off
headed to the police station.

Tumo parked his car and took a deep breath

calling his lawyer.

“Tumo-“

“She was lying. All along she was lying. She lied
about the kids being mine. She lied about
everything. She never loved me. She was a liar. I
killed her. This time I meant to because she lied
to me. I meant to because she made do it all.”
“Tumo..”

“I am at the police station.”

“Your sentence may not be jail! Fuck! Fuvk!”

“Maybe they should just kill me.”

“You don’t want to die trust me. Fuvk! I spoke

to your doctor and you have schizophrenia. You
are going to go inside there and price you to are
crazy. They will take you to away but not to jail
at least. If you didn’t pay me so much money I’d
be leaving..”

Tumo hung up. He walked inside the police

station.
Everyone looked at him in shock looking at the
blood all over his clothes.

“I am here to report a crime. I think I killed my

wife.”

The police walked inside Tumo’s house,
everything looked in place except for the blood
droplets on the floor. They walked to the
bedroom and looked at Amo sprawled on the
bed covered in blood with a knife on the floor. It
looked like a scene from a movie only it was
true.

Molefe walked in and sighed looking at her. Her

eyes were wide open. Her body was covered in
blood. He fixed his gloves walking over. She
had a stab wound in her palm. Probably from
trying to block him.

Molefe studied the crime scene as the

forensics took pictures.

He walked around the room even going to the

bathroom then noted a few things.
***

At the police station, Tumo finished explaining

Freya’s murder. The police officer nodded.

“Can you take us where her body is?”

“Yes. Are you going to kill me now?”

“No..”

“I want to die. Kill me now.”

Tumo’s lawyer walked in. He looked at Tumo

who looked so lost.
“Is my client ok? I need a moment with him.”

“Your client is under arrest for murder.”

“Anyone can see he’s not ok. He needs a

doctor.”

Tumo stood up. “I deserve to be killed. They are

looking at me. Behind you. They are saying I
should die.”

The lawyer sighed. “I need a psychiatrist. My

client is not ok.”

“Your client –“
“A psychiatrist is what I need! Tumo do you
know where you are?”

“I need to die.”

He whispered to himself.

“Tumo-“

He continued talking to himself. He raised his

head and swallowed pointing. “They are there.”

“Who?”

“Them. Look …”
***

At Tefo’s house, Tefo walked from his

bedroom as his uncle looked at him.

“I engaged with a lawyer. She advised me to pay

the bail so that we can sue the state. She said-“

Someone knocked on the door.

“That’s her.”

He stood up and opened the door. The lawyer

walked in wearing a black suit.

“Good afternoon.”
Tefo looked at her. She stretched her hand. “My
name is Natasha, how are you?”

“I am well how are you?”

“I am good. Let’s get into it I have a case after

this.”

She sat down and sighed. “I went through your

file. You getting arrested was wrong from the
beginning. They were never supposed to arrest
you or announce to the public that you
murdered someone because they didn’t have
the evidence to. Having her clothes in your boot
is just circumstantial evidence. Thing is that
Botswana police take things lightly. The honest
truth is that you can actually sue them for
keeping you in here, for even asking for that
much bail. It’s illegal. The judge too should
have thrown out the case when he heard of the
state’s reasoning.”

“But the clothes were in my car.”

“So? Are your finger prints on the clothes? Or on

the plastic with the clothes. That’s criminal law
101 Natefo. As long as there is nothing tying
you to the evidence it’s considered as
circumstantial evidence. I am surprised
Facebook law graduates didn’t say anything.
They should have never arrested you to begin
with. Bail set at 20k was for what? This is going
to be an easy case Tefo. And the state is going
to compensate you for an unlawful arrest. You
are going to tell me everything that happened.”
Tefo said and went through his day with her.
Natasha sighed.

“Ok. I am going to have fun with this one. It’s a

two in one. They are going to drop this case in
48 hours guaranteed.”

“And how much-“

“What you get from the state compensation will

cover me. I hear your brother sold a farm.”

“Yes but he tricked me into signing my share

over to him.”

“But your mother’s name was still on the farm

right?”
“Yes.”

“You are entitled to your mother’s half portion

of the money. Do you know how much the farm
was sold for?”

“Yes. 1.6 million.”

“Since you gave away your share that means

your mother had in total 800k. From 800k, you
get 400k and he gets 400k. In total he gets 1.2
million and you get 400k. You are entitled to
that money. It’s legally yours. That is an easier
one. Any questions?”

He looked at her and smiled. “No.”

“Good. Bye.”

She stood up and walked out as he followed

after her. They both turned as a car drove in.
Osa parked and stepped out with a frown. She
looked at the woman Tefo was with breathing
heavily.

“Who are you?”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me! Who are you? Nate ke mang?

You get bailed and already you have found
someone to sleep with?”
“You are making noise, stop it!”

Natasha frowned. “Aren’t you the woman’s

magazine lady? You are aren’t you? Do you who
I am? I will end you and your career before it
even takes off. Trust me. Don’t try it lady.” She
turned to Tefo. “Stay away from older ladies.
There’s a reason they are alone, miserable and
lonely. Find your age mates.”

Natasha walked to her car. Osa could feel her

heart pound as he glared at her pissed off.

“Didn’t you say you wanted nothing to do with

me?”

“Nate I-“
He got closer. “Didn’t you say you wanted
nothing to do with me? That you didn’t want
people to find out about this?! Are you fuvking
with me right now?!”

She swallowed moving back. “Tefo I got scared

and-“

“You want to know something baby?”

She blinked. “Tefo-“

“I am still the low life you last saw.” His voice

got more deeper. “Nothing has changed. Get
the fuck out Osa. I never want to see you.
Matter of fact… good riddance because I have
been done with your ass! I am glad you saw it
for what it truly was.”
She swallowed. “I didn’t mean you hurt you.”

“Oh no baby… nah.. you just made things easier

for me. I wasn’t even hurt because I actually
never asked for your help. Harass me again and
I will fuvk your friend.”

Tefo’s uncle looked at Osa then at Tefo.

“Uhu Tefo… you are now sleeping with my age

mates? Motho o ke type yame o. (This person is
my type.)”

Osa sniffed then walked to her car and got in.

She reversed out. Tefo’s uncle laughed.
“What are you doing with older women Tefo?”

“Unkele wee-“

“No man! We want you to find a good girl to

marry not for you to run around chasing after
returned and failed soldiers. That woman looks
older than you. She may be pretty but she is
older. What’s wrong with you? Are you ok? Do
you need help finding a girlfriend?”

Tefo laughed embarrassed..

Later that day, Amara packed her belonging

sitting on her desk. She looked at the time and
walked out of her office and out of the building
smiling at a few colleagues.

They stared at her with straight faces. She

continued walking away feeling exhausted.

She stepped outside on the pavement. Minutes

went by then Tefo’s black Run X parked in front
of him. He rolled own the window and smiled.
“I am sorry I am late. There was an accident
along the way. It caused traffic.”

She looked his huge smile and pressed her lips

together before getting in.

“It’s ok.”

Tefo stared at her. “Hi.”

“Hi.”

He drove off. Amara looked at him. “You didn’t

have to pick me up.”

“I didn’t do it. But if you are not comfortable

with me picking you up, it’s still ok.”
She kept quiet as he drove. She took a deep
breath as he drove through the traffic taking
shortcuts. In twenty minutes he parked at her
house.

“There..”

“Bye.”

Tefo looked at her realizing she had tears in her

eyes.

“Amara are you ok?”

She sniffed stepping out. Tefo got out and

looked at the tears rolling down her cheeks. She
tried to walk faster. Tefo pulled her.

“Hey.. hey… what’s wrong?”

“Nothing I just… I just…” She tried to pull away

but he hugged her instead. Amara closed her
eyes trying to hold in her emotions then broke
down crying.

Tefo wrapped his arms even tighter around her

as she cried holding on to him.

She kept quiet minutes later and remained still

in his arms.

Tefo released over ten minutes later and tinted

get chin looking in her eyes.
“What’s wrong?”

“I was unemployed before this job… and it was

hard. I finally get a job and the environment is
toxic. It’s difficult being in an environment
where everyone hates you and do everything in
their power to sabotage you. Everyday I am
scared I will wake up unemployed again and I
will be back at that same hole I was in.”

Tefo wiped away her tears. “What do you work

as?”

She breathed heavily. “A…”She swallowed. “An

administration manager. I know my job just
that…everyone makes it so hard for me.”
“Who do you stay here with?”

“Alone… I am sorry I –“

“Can I walk you inside? I will carry your bags for

you.”

He took her bags from her and walked with her

inside the house. Amara sniffed.

“I am sorry for –“

“Don’t be. It’s ok. I am sorry you are going

through the things you are going through. I have
never had a proper job since I graduated. I have
done all odd jobs people look down on. I have
sold cool time at the rank, I have sold food, I
have worked everywhere and I don’t know what
I could have done if I ever got a proper job. I am
not saying you shouldn’t complain but I am
saying if you know what you are going there for
then the rest shouldn’t matter. Do your job, if
they don’t do theirs and it affects your job then
you should take it up with senior management.
If not take it even higher. Don’t allow for people
to bully you. Don’t allow them to make you cry
because you need this job. Be your own person
if you have to.”

She sniffed. Tefo smiled. “The first day I met

you I would have sworn you are the type to
never cry.”

She paused then smiled turning. Tefo pulled her

closer.
“It’s ok to cry. I did suspect you were just
putting up an act.”

“I wasn’t. That’s me.”

“Really?”

She smiled. “Yes. Just that sometimes I get

overwhelmed.”

“And that’s what makes you human.”

“What were the clothes doing in your boot?”

“They were planted. I hadn’t seen that kid in

more than two years. I had no reason to take up
my beef with her father with her. She’s just a
baby.”

“My sister kept saying she knows you didn’t do

it.”

“Because I didn’t.”

“How was it like in prison?”

Tefo chuckled. “It was prison. It’s never nice.

You meet different people who committed
different crimes. Some don’t bath. The food is
crap… I tried to eat as less as possible for food
that had a chance of giving me a running
stomach. It’s not a nice place to be. It’s horrible.
But you get used to it.”
He rubbed her cheek. “Have a great evening.
Don’t cry…”

She took a deep breath. “I believe you didn’t do

it too.”

Tefo laughed. “Thank you.”

He walked out. Amara breathed listening to his

car drive off. A message came through in her
phone.

Tefo: Tomorrow 0715?

Amara typed.

Amara: On the dote.

Tefo: 🫡copy that! See you.
Amara: By the way I don’t mind music in the car.

Tefo: Ok nana.

Amara stared at Nana and laughed.

“Mxm..”

Amara: You can call me Amar.

Tefo: Nana.

Amara laughed and walked to her bedroom.

***

Osa stepped out of her car and walked inside

the restaurant for her date. She took a deep
breath and looked around. Her date raised his
hand and waved. She walked over forcing smile
as he stood up showing his big potbelly.

“Hi.”

He smiled. “Hey, how are you?”

“I am fine. I’m Osa.”

“Patrick.”
They both sat down. Patrick smiled looked at
her. “What is a gorgeous woman Luke you
doing being single?”

Osa smiled. “I an very dedicated to my work..I

never really find time to mingle and uh…date.”

“You are a workaholic?”

“Maybe. You? How many kids do you have?”

“I have 7. Two are already done with their

school.”

“Oh… wow!”

“Yeah. Each live with their mother.”

Osa’s widened. “Di baby mama tse 7?”

“Yes but no drama. You are really

beautiful..waitse I can’t stop looking at you. You
are the type of woman I want to marry.”

He leaned over and pulled her chair closer. Osa

smiled. “I.. well thank you.”

He took her hand. “I really like you Osa. Maybe 7

kids might turn you off but don’t worry about
them. They won’t be a factor during the course
of our relationship.”

“No..I’m just trying to understand that you had

unprotected sex with 7 different woman.”
He took her hand and put it under the desk
making her touch his dic. Osa held it and
paused wondering if that was all of it.

He smiled looking at her. Osa looked at him and

smiled.

“Unbuckle your pants. I want to touch it.”

He excitedly unbuckled his pants. Osa out her

hand inside and almost laughed. She smiled.

“That’s it?”

His smile disappeared. “If you are not a

borehole you should enjoy it just fine.”
Osa looked at him wondering how he had made
7 kids. She thought of Tefo’s dic then Patrick’s
midget getting bored. She could only imagine
the sex. Her face got even sour as she sat in the
fancy restaurant trying to come up with an
escape plan.

***

Tefo drove to his house and slowed down

before turning. His phone rang. He reached for
it and picked.

“Hello?”

“Hi. It’s Dineo. I am sorry for calling so late but I

need to talk to you something. Are you available?
I saw you got released. It won’t take long.”

.

Dineo walked out of her house holding her car

keys. She pressed the gate remote unlocking
her car. Osa drove in and stepped out looking at
her friend dressed in a short dress and heels.
“Where are you going?”

“I am meeting my cousin. How was your date?”

“I left. I couldn’t stay. He had 7 kids! 7 baby

mamas! How does someone have 7 baby
mamas Dineo? Gape he’s not fit. He had a small
dic and he said something about if I have a
borehole then I won’t feel his midget dic!”

“You need to stop being picky. At your age the

time to be picky long passed.”

“No. Not that one. Tota I regret going for that

date. He’s the worst I have ever had.”

“That guy is fine. Stop being picky. Look I have

to go. Stop being picky.”

“No. I actually regret listening to you. There is

nothing wrong with loving someone younger
than you. My husband cheated with various
young girls. He is living with one now. Why
should I be forced to date older man who can’t
even love me right? I love Nate. And maybe we
can raise our –“

“Osa stop it!”

“I love him..I wish I could I could shed off a few

years from my age or add a bit on his but I can’t
and here I am, in love with a man who I am a
decade older than. I am taking a leap of faith.
No one can fire me because of who I am dating
or sleeping with. My work speaks for itself. I
have worked hard to achieve all I have achieved,
a little happiness can’t hurt.”

“What will your children say Osa? Your family?

His family will probably never accept you.”

“And that’s fine.”

“Ijo mma, I have to go.”

Dineo got in her car. Osa got in hers and drove

off. Dineo looked at herself on the mirror and
sighed driving.

***

At Tefo’s house, Tefo relaxed going over the

documents the lawyer had sent him. He picked
his ringing phone and looked at Osa calling. It
was time he blocked her.

It rang for a while then he finally picked.

“Osa..”

“Can I speak to you? You don’t have to say

anything. I just need to talk to you.”

“This is getting tiring.”

“I need to tell something important. I found out

today.”

“What?”
“Let me say something first…”

“Ok.”

“I know. I am so sorry. For everything I said. I

love you. That’s the truth. I couldn’t help it. I
don’t know what exactly drew me to you
because besides sex you really don’t care about
me. I allowed myself to be influenced maybe
because I felt vulnerable loving you when I
know the love I have for you will never be
appreciated or wanted. I never meant the things
I said to you. It was just panic and fear speaking.
I don’t expect you to feel the same, matter of
fact I know you don’t but I just need you to
know that I am sorry.”
“I knew keeping the sex with you would lead to
this. Even if I loved you, our relationship will
never be normal. Do you want to be in a
relationship where corner to corner you have to
defend it? I bring less than you make in a week
to the relationship. I know it. You have achieved
a lot and it’s something to be proud of. You
deserve someone who is in your level. There are
men out there, your age and they can love you
the way you deserve to be loved. I don’t hate
you, you are not my enemy. I like you, just not
the way you want to be liked.”

She sniffed. “So what now? I should just..

forget?”

“Try to. There is nothing I can give you.”

“I…” She paused. “Ok.”

“Are you crying baby?”

“I am sad.” She laughed crying. “And I am

hurting. I think I have brought on myself.”

“I am sorry.”

“It’s ok..I will be fine.”

“What did you want to tell me?”

“Nothing.. uh that your brother is the guilty one.”

“Bye. One more thing… I am sending you a

location pin to a hotel..go there. Something is
waiting for you there.”

He hung up.

***

That same evening, Momo unlocked Richard’s

door and walked inside. He had finally given her
the key to his house a week ago.

She smiled then took off her jacket walking to

the bedroom. He was going to arrive anytime
from work, she switched on the light holding a
plastic with her new lingerie.

Momo swallowed looking at the undone bed

then the condoms on the floor. Used condoms.
Her heart started pounding. She walked to the
bathroom and there was a pink thong. Tears
filled her eyes as she looked around. It was
quiet obvious a woman had slept in the house
the previous night after he claimed he had flue
and she couldn’t come.

A block of pain sat on her throat. Momo walked

out calling him.

Richard’s phone rang fid a while then he finally

picked.

“Babe-“

“How is your flue? I am in your house and I can

see your flue had you busy! Richard why are you
doing this to me? Why?”

“I wasn’t home. My friend asked to use my

house. I slept at my sister’s house. You can call
her and ask. I haven’t been home since
yesterday. What’s wrong? What’s going on?”

“There are condoms all over the floor and a g-

string in the bathroom.”

“Babe it wasn’t me I swear.”

“I spoke to you last night and you said you-“

“I lied. Babe come on, I felt ashamed to tell you

that I had borrowed my friend the house. Why
would I even cheat when I have changed? I will
ask him about it. It wasn’t me I swear. You need
to trust me, I know I hurt you in the past but I
have changed.”

Momo blinked looked at around.

“You believe me right? I am calling him to ask

him. He can’t leave my house looking like a
brothel! To even use my bathroom too. I think
he must have told the woman he was with that
it’s his house. I am sorry Mrs Richie… it will
never happen again wifey.”

“Tell him now. The house is dirty. He even slept

on your bed.”

“What? Nah, I can’t allow this. I am calling him

now!”
Richard hung up.

***

At the hotel Tefo had directed her to, Osa

walked inside wondering if this was their
goodbye sex. If it was she was ready for it and
maybe this was the rightful time to tell him.
She fixed her hair going to the door.

She put in the card to open the door that she

had been given at the reception and walked in.

Osa frowned looking at Dineo lying on the bed

wearing a red see thigh nightdress.
Dineo quickly got up. “Hey… what are you doing
here?”

Osa stared at her then laughed as it all made

sense. She turned and walked out without
saying a word. Dineo picked her phone and
called Tefo but his number wasn’t going
through anymore. She put on a gown and
hurried after Osa.

“He is the one who wanted me Osa and-“

“Do me a favor… do the both of us a favor and

never talk to me ever again.”

Osa walked to her car and drove off. Tears

burnt her eyes but it was time to put on her big
girl panties.
***

Bonolo sat in the bathroom and her aunt’s

house holding a pregnancy test with two lines.
She picked the other one and it also had two
visible lines.

Her heart raced as she stared at them then

broke down crying.

Bonolo walked out of the bathroom with

reddish eyes bumping into her aunt.

“Nolo… gorileng? Are you ok?”

“Eemma, I am fine.”

“Where is Maemo?”

“She went to Richard.”

“She went back to that man who beats her?! I

just don’t understand this child. Does she want
to die? I am calling her uncles. This needs
intervention now. I long told her to stay away
from that man but she’s still going there.”

Her aunt walked away shouting. Bonolo went in

her bedroom and took put the pregnancy tests
from her bag and put them in her bag.

She stared at her phone for a while wondering

what to do. Tears filled her eyes again, Bonolo
put her hands over her face crying. She sniffed
then sent Osa a text.

Bonolo: I am pregnant. I don’t know what to do.

She waited for a while then finally dialed Tefo’s

number.
“Bonolo.”

“Hi. O mo lapeng? I need to see you.”

“Nolo-“

“I need to talk to you tonight. Come over.”

“What is it?”

She sniffed. “I will tell you when you come.”

“I will be there in 15 minutes.”

“Ok.”
*

15 Minutes Later, Bonolo walked out of the

house holding some money and hurried out of
the fare

Tefo flashed the car lights, Bonolo walked over

and got in.

“It your aunt in?”

She nodded. “I told her I am going to the

tuckshop.”

“Ok, what’s going on?”

Bonolo took out the pregnancy test and handed

it to him.

Tefo looked at it..“Fuvk!”

“I just tested this evening.”

“Weren’t you on birth control?”

She blinked tearfully. “I was.”

“Then how is this…. Shit!”

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen my period in three

months Tefo. You are the only one I was
sleeping with.”
Tefo swallowed and rubbed his face. Bonolo
started crying.

“I am sorry. I am going to go home to my

grandmother. I am on holiday now. I will stay
there and-“

“And what? We need to face this.”

“Kea tshaba. I betrayed my cousin. Sleeping

with you was fine but getting pregnant? I am
not even ready for a child Tefo.”

“There is nothing we can do. The baby is here. I

am not getting rid of my child.. I will take care of
my child.”
“I am still going to Maitengwe.”

“Nolo-“

“I can’t stay here. I can’t.” Tears rolled down her

cheeks. “Tomorrow evening I am going.”

“Let’s go to a clinic. I just want us to be 100%

sure.”

At the clinic, Tefo held Bonolo’s hand walking

with her inside. She walked besides him and
looked at him as he turned to her.

“Its ok..don’t be scared.”

She nodded as he rubbed off a tear that had
rolled down.

Tefo spoke briefly to a nurse who pointed him

at a direction then they sat down with three
people in front of them.

Minutes later they finally walked in. The nurse

looked at them.

“Hello..”

Tefo let Bonolo sit down. “We are here to check

if she’s pregnant and how far she is.”

“Ok.. what’s your name?”

“Bonolo Thapelo.”

“And when last did you have sex?”

“Three weeks ago.”

“When last did you see your period?”

“Three months ago.”

Bonolo continued answering the questions then

later the nurse gave her a little cup to pee in.
She pulled down her panty right there and
squatted.
The nurse laughed. “There is a bathroom but it’s
fine, don’t pee on the floor.”

Tefo looked at her she peed a bit in the tittle

cup and handed it to the nurse. Bonolo sat
down and took a deep breath.

The nurse smiled. “You are scared.”

Bonolo rubbed her eyes. The nurse turned to

Tefo.

“Please don’t abandon her or your child.”

“I won’t, she knows.”

The nurse stood up and walked out with her pee.

She walked back in minutes later and sat down.

“Ok. You are pregnant. I think you knew that

already. You are around 13 to 14 weeks.”

Bonolo swallowed. Tefo smiled.

“So what happens now?”

The nurse took him through a couple of things

while listened. Bonolo looked into nothing as
her mind drifted. She could imagine her aunt
and her cousin finding out.

Tefo pulled her up.

“Let’s go.”
He led her out.

“Are you ok?”

Bonolo burst into tears. Tefo hugged her.

“I got you. I am not going to abandon you or our

baby.”

“I am scared.”

“I know. But I will be right there. I am not leaving

you to do this alone. You can move out from the
house and I will find you a room.”
“What if you go back to jail?”

“That is not going to happen. Trust me. Do you

want to go home tonight?”

“Aunty is waiting.”

They got in his car then he drove off.

Tefo parked his car at Bonolo’s house, he

hugged her.

“I got you.”
She nodded.

Meanwhile a cab dropped off Maemo at the

gate. She opened the gate as Bonolo stepped
out of a car. Momo carefully looked and walked
over just as Bonolo turned facing her cousin.

Her heart skipped. Momo walked past her and

looked inside the car. She looked at Tefo.

“Hi. What’s going on?”

Tefo looked at her. She had lost weight and had

a scar on her chin.

“Hi, I picked her up along the way. It’s dark,

please tell her to never walk alone at night. It’s
not safe.”

Momo nodded. “You look… good for a prisoner.”

“Thanks.”

“I miss you.”

“I don’t.”

He drove off. Momo turned to Bonolo.

“He still loves me. He’s trying to avoid me. Did

you see how he looked at me?”

Bonolo looked at her. “Oh..”

She walked inside the yard. She walked in the
house picking Osa’s call.

“Hi.”

“Hey.. I saw your text. Me too.”

“What?”

“I don’t even know how.”

“Didn’t you day you tied your tubes?"

“I lied.”
“Why?!”

“Its complicated but I have always struggled to

get pregnant. I tried for years to have a third
born with my husband. Tefo doesn’t want us. I
can’t keep rye baby because of obvious reasons,
you too.”

“I already told Tefo.”

“So? You will tell him you had a miscarriage. I

will pick you up tomorrow morning so we
abort.”

Bonolo took a deep breath.

“Tefo said he will find me a house and I can

move out from home.”

“And your cousin? What about her? You have

been sleeping with her ex. Now you are
pregnant. What will she say or feel? This is
someone who has loved you like a sister. You
said when your mother abandoned you, your
aunt took you in, loved you! Cared for you! Your
cousin takes care of you. She has always
protected you. This is how you repay her? By
getting pregnant with her ex?”

“Tefo-“

“Tefo doesn’t love you! Never did, never will.

He’s wanted you for your body only. He will
never love you.”

“I-“

“I will pick you up tomorrow morning. Ok?”

“Ok.”

Osa hung up. Bonolo sat down. Momo walked

in minutes later. She looked at Bonolo’s reddish
eyes.

“Nolo are you ok?”

“Ng..”

Momo sat next to her and hugged her. Bonolo

started crying.

Momo hugged her even tighter sadly as tears

filled her own eyes.

“Nolo what’s wrong?”

Bonolo sobbed for a while then finally moved

back fighting hiccups.
“Are you ok? What happened?”

“I.. I failed my test.”

Momo wiped away her tears. “Don’t cry. It’s ok.

Akere you can always write it again.”

“Its expensive.”

“How much is it? I will give you the money

tomorrow. Don’t cry.. I will give you the money.”

Momo hugged her again and smiled. “Mxm I

can’t believe you made me cry for that. Kana I
don’t like seeing people cry, I cry too.”
Bonolo laughed. “Ija.”

“You will rewrite the test. Mama doesn’t have to

know.”

Mmagwe Momo walked in. “Know what? Wena

Momo I long told you to stay away from that
beast you call a man. I would be saying go back
to Tefo but le ene kills children now. Can’t you
just sit down and stop parading around? I have
called your uncles and they are going to talk to
you. Ke lapile Maemo. What are you teaching
Bonolo? You are supposed to set a better
example for your sister. Tomorrow your uncles
will be here to talk to you.”

She walked out. Momo sighed grabbing her

phone.
***

The following morning, Tefo waited for his

brother at the police station.

Tumo walked over with a police officer and

smiled.

“Hi.”

Tefo sighed. “So you were going to let me go to

jail for a crime you knew I didn’t commit?”

“I am sorry.”
“Why?”

“I am sorry. I don’t have an excuse for my

actions or how I treated you. I dreamt mama
last night. I saw her… and she is hurting. I
mistreated you. My family. I wish I can take it
back. I don’t know how I let Amo influence me
like this.” A tear rolled down. “I turned into
something else. I didn’t know you can love
someone and they use that to their own
advantage. I am sorry. I hope you are careful
when you choose the woman to spend the rest
of your life with. I know you are seeing an elder
woman. Be careful… I can’t tell you anything, I
don’t have that right but be careful.”

“You killed mama.”

More tears filled his eyes. Tefo swallowed then

put his hands on his face.

“I did it. It was a mistake. I just… I wanted to

stop her. She was screaming calling me an
intruder. I just wanted her to stop. When she
did… I realized what I had done and I panicked.”

“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have told her about the

farm. She would have been alive if I didn’t tell
her.”

“You had every right to tell her. I am sorry. I

murdered her. I did it all alone. I am sorry.”

Tefo watched him as he cried.

“I am sorry. I deserve death. I am ready for it. I

did horrible things.”

“I hear you are pleading insanity.”

“Its my lawyer..he..-“

“I am not moved by your little show. I will never

forgive for killing my mother. I hope she
continues haunting you for the rest of your life.”

Tefo stood up and walked out. He got in his car

calling Bonolo but her phone rang with no
answer.

***

At the private clinic, Osa looked at Bonolo’s

phone ringing while Bonolo signed the consent
form by the reception.

It stopped ringing then a message came

through. Osa bit her lower lip unlocking
Bonolo’s phone and opened the message from
Tefo.

Tefo: Hey, are you ok? Can I come and pick you
up so we can find you a house? I don’t want you
to leave.

Another message came through.

Tefo: I won’t leave you to handle this pregnancy

alone. You won’t be alone in this I promise.
Osa stared at the messages knowing he
wouldn’t react the same with her pregnancy.
She clicked them deleting them.

She quickly locked the phone as Bonolo walked

over.

“I am scared. I don’t think Tefo is going to be

happy about this.”

“Tefo is going to leave you. This man may go to

jail Bonolo. Do you understand that? Who’s
going to take care of this baby when that
happens? Student allowance? Let’s go. Tswa
mogo Tefo.”

She took her hand and walked with her to the

doctors office. They both walked inside. The
doctor smiled.

“Good morning.”

They both sat down then Osa spoke. “We are

here to do abortions.

The doctor nodded. “And how far are you?”

Bonolo looked at Osa. “13 weeks.”

“You?”

“8 weeks.”

“Ok, just to be sure I will do scans first. Who is

going first? You can undress and put on the
boob tube behind that curtain then lie on the
bed.”

Osa pointed at Bonolo. “She will… I am right

here.”

“Ok you can wait outside.”

Osa stood up and walked out.

Bonolo went behind the curtain and undressed

as her heart pounded. Osa was right. If Tefo
went back to how was she going to take care of
the baby but then Tefo had said he wasn’t going
to. She slowly laid down sniffing.
The doctor joined her and looked at her crying.
He got closer.

“Are you ok?”

Tears filled her eyes.

“Do you want to do this?”

“I have to.”

“Are you sure?”

The doctor sighed then pulled up the dress.

“Relax, I will do a transvaginal scan..how old are
you?”
“22 now.”

“Where is the baby daddy?”

“He is there.”

“What’s he saying?”

Bonolo frowned as the doctor pushed

something inside her.

“It’s ok.. relax.”

Bonolo nodded. The doctor looked at a screen.

“Right… you can’t exactly see the baby at this
stage but see that dark spot… that’s the baby.
And… this is the heart beat.”

Bonolo swallowed listening to her baby’s

heartbeat. She sniffed.

Bonolo walked out a while later then Osa smiled

standing up.

“Done?”

“Yes.”

“Was it painful?”
“A bit. I want to go home.”

“Ok, let me go in then I drop you off.”

“No… I will get a combi. I just want to go home.”

She took her phone and handbag then walked

away. Osa sighed and walked inside for hers.

I am sorry I am late. The next insert comes

Osa walked out of the clinic a while later

wearing a pad. She took a deep breath getting
in her car then called Bonolo. The phone rang
for a while.

“Hello.”

“Hi, how are you feeling? I’m done.”

“I am fine.”

“Don’t feel bad ok? We had to do this. Natefo

will never want to be with us. You heard him. I
know he may have sounded happy but that
would fade away when he finds a girlfriend or
go to jail. That baby would have been left to be
your responsibility alone. There is better out
there. You are still young to be anyone’s baby
mama.”

“I have to go.”

“Do you need anything?”

“No. I am fine. Bye.”

She hung up. Osa sighed and drove off.

Tefo slowed down at the bus stop that Bonolo

was waiting for him. She smiled getting in his
car.

“Hi.”

Tefo smiled. “I thought you had left already.”

“Not yet.”

“Please don’t go.”

She smiled. “Ok. But I want a room with a

bathroom and a small kitchen. I don’t want to
bath in a dish.”

Tefo laughed. “Ok. After that we will find time

and register our pregnancy. I found a clinic we
will be going to. They have an obstetrician there.
I already met her. She’s going to be taking of
you and our baby.”

“Ok.”

He drove off. Bonolo smiled looking at him. He

had a fresh haircut and also trimmed his beard.

Tefo looked at her. “What?”

She giggled. “I hope our baby doesn’t have your

ears.”

“Oh get away! These ears are sexy!”

Bonolo laughed. “Who told you that?”

Tefo laughed too. “Bonolo ke mogolo.”

“Ok, di cute eh.”

“Sexy. Di charmer bana.”

She smiled. “Keep lying to yourself. Are you
going to get me furniture too? I don’t want to
finish your money.”

“Don’t worry about it. We will get the basics.”

“Ok.”

He smiled looking at her. “I am happy I am

going to be a dad. Thank you for not aborting it.
I know some people would have done it.”

Bonolo smiled. “I am still scared but I am happy

you are here.”

“We are going to be just fine.”

He drove to the apartments he had seen the
previous night and parked inside the yard. They
both stepped out and walked over to a man
standing in front of the one which had no
curtains. Tefo greeted him.

“What’s up?”

“No ke sharp, she’s the one who will be

occupying the house?”

“Yes. I want her to take a look and tell me what

she thinks.”

“Yeah..”
They walked inside the house as Tefo’s phone
rang. He looked at the caller.

“Keep looking.”

He walked out picking as Bonolo smiled in the

house.

“Nana..”

Amara laughed. “Tefo wee therra stop it.

Anyways I wanted to say thank you for
yesterday. I really appreciate it.”

“How are you feeling? I got a bit worried when

you texted saying you have taken a day off.”
“I am ok. I think I just needed a breather.”

“O kae?”

“I am watching TV in my house.”

“O jele? (Have you eaten?)”

“Tefo…”

“Bathong don’t you have male friends? Chomi o

jele?”

Amara laughed. “I am about to make a little

snack.”
“I am bringing you lunch.”

“You don’t have to.”

“If I want to? What should I bring?”

“So you are not going to listen to me?”

“No.”

“Anything that has meat is fine.”

“Drink?”

“Fanta.”
“I will be there in thirty minutes.”

“Ok.”

“Sharp akere?”

“Ng…”

He dropped the call and walked back in the

house. Bonolo looked at him.

“Tefo I love it. Also it’s close to school.”

“Ok, then we will take it.”

She jumped excitedly. Tefo bumped fists with

the landlord then walked out with her.

“I will drop you off at home. You need to tell

your aunt you want to move out and see stay
closer to school. Make up a good story.”

She nodded. They got in the car as he called

Nandos.

“Hello, I’d like to make an order for collection. A

full chicken meal with chips and uh … salad.
Please add fanta too.”

“Ok, is there anything else?”

“No, that will be all.”

Bonolo smiled as he wrapped up the call.

“I won’t be able to finish the meal alone or we

are eating together?”

Tefo looked at her. “No that’s not yours. I will

give you money if you want something to eat.”

“Who’s it for?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

He drove her back home and parked at her

corner. Tefo took out P100 from his wallet and
gave it to her.

“You can get yourself something to eat. I will

call you later.”

“When are we going to register the pregnancy?”

“Let’s do it tomorrow.”

She stepped out then he drove off. Bonolo took

her phone and started typing.

Bonolo: I am happy that you want us to do this

together. I love you and I would want us to
officialize our relationship.

She looked at it then deleted it and walked

home.

***
At Amara’s house, Amara opened her door and
smiled looking at Tefo.

“35 minutes later. You are 5 minutes late.”

He smiled. “I am sorry. Here is your lunch.”

She took it giggling. “You didn’t have to. Thank

you.”

“You are welcome. You slept crying? Your eyes

are swollen.”

“They swell easily especially when my head is

aching.”
“Is it still aching?”

“No. I am fine now..”

“Should I help you dish?”

Amara looked at him trying not to smile but her

smile wouldn’t go away as he looked at her.

“No. Ke sharp. You went to the salon.”

“Ebile you can notice?”

She rolled her eyes. “You had a whole afro!”

Tefo stepped so close to her that she stopped

breathing.

“I don’t like having eyes rolled at me, do it again

and I promise you nana, you may not like what I
will do to you.”

She looked at him. He smiled and moved back.

“Go and have your lunch.”

He walked to his car and drove off leaving her

frozen to her spot. Amara breathed out and
staggered back in her house. She put the food
down and picked her phone calling her sister.

“Ama..”
“Tefo was here bringing me lunch. I called him
to thank him for yesterday and he insisted on
getting me lunch. So he came and as we are
chatting I roll my eyes at something he said.
Amaya mma doesn’t this man come so close to
me and say he doesn’t like having eyes rolled at
him and the next time I do it I may not like the
things he will do to me. I am still in shock, and
he walks off like he just didn’t do what he did… “

Maya laughed. “Ehh don’t roll your eyes at him

what’s the problem?”

“Maya you know what the problem is. Tefo is

trying to sleep with ne. I can see it.”

“Are you sure he is? He hasn’t said anything to

suggest that has he?”
“Then tell me why he is calling me nana?”

Maya laughed even more. “Tefo is stressing

you!”

“I thought I had forgotten but now he’s out

and…”

“And?”

Amara threw herself on the couch. “Why is he

such a turn on nemma? Or maybe it’s because I
haven’t had sex in a while. Ahh bathong Tefo!”

“He is very handsome, o sexy and understands

himself. Stop fighting it.”
“No… I am not going to go through another
episode that involves a man in life. I can’t.”

“Not everyone is like that devil called your ex.”

Tears filled Amara’s eyes. “I can’t go through

that again. I am calling Tefo and telling him I
don’t want him to pick me up anymore..”

Amara hung up and called Tefo.

“Nana..”

She froze at the sound of his voice then hung

up.

Tefo parked his car at Amo’s mother’s house

while his other relatives parked behind him
including some of his relatives from his
mother’s side of the family. They all stepped
out of their cars, the older uncle taking the lead.

They walked through the gate, mmagwe Amo

walked out wearing all black. She angrily looked
at Tefo and his relatives.

“What are you doing here? After your brother

murdered my daughter? What are you doing
here? Huh?”

Tefo looked at her respectfully stepping

forward.. “I know apologizing now will just be
disrespectful to you and your family but I am
deeply sorry for what happened. No matter
what, mmagwe Zoe didn’t deserve what
happened to her. What Tumo did was terrible.
Nothing can ever justify his actions.”

He went down on his knee. “We also just found

out that he also killed our mother. Nothing I am
going to say will return your daughter to you but
we just want to pay our respect to you and your
family and to also help with anything you may
need.”

Mmagwe Amo looked at him. Tears filled her

eyes then she turned crying. Her sisters hugged
her. Tefo looked at her still kneeling.

She looked at him crying.

“Amo and I didn’t talk because of tension

between us but I loved my daughter. So much. I
carried her for 9 months. Alone. He took away
my baby.”

“We can leave if you don’t want us here. We

respect that.”
She sniffed. “The police still have her body.. we
are waiting for them. They needed it for…” She
cried again then carried on. “For the
investigations. All I want is my daughter’s
things. Everything that belongs to her, her car,
her clothes.. everything that belongs to her.
Your brother can’t kill my child and get
everything. I want half of everything they
owned.”

“I don’t know if that’s possible but I will talk to

his lawyer and understand how it works. Her
clothes I can do. Any assets accumulated in
their marriage needs the lawyer.”

“Till then, leave.”

Tefo stood up. “Eemma, thank you.”

They all walked out. The older uncle looked at
Tefo.

“You are very brave Natefo. I like it. Thank you

for handling that very well.”

“Eerra.”

He walked away then Tefo walked to his uncle

that had been born after his father.

“Malome P…”

“Yes Tefo..”
“Can I talk to you?”

“Yes, everything ok?”

“Uh.. I got someone pregnant.”

His uncle frowned. “Natefo I hope it’s not that

older woman of yours.”

Tefo laughed. “No. It’s someone else. Uh my

ex’s cousin.”

“So you decided to stick in the family? Were

there no other women?”

“It wasn’t intentional but it has happened and

it’s my baby and I want to responsibility for it.
Soon I will ask for us to go and pay damages. I
want my child to use my surname.”

“When will you marry her?”

“I don’t have any intentions of marrying her. She

knows that. I don’t love her.”

“You will tell me when you are ready then but

don’t make a habit of impregnating women!”

“Eerra.”

Tefo walked to his car and sent Amara a

message.

Tefo: I hope you enjoyed your food nana.

Osa walked out of the mall later that day

picking her ex’s call.
“Hi.”

“I am dropping off the kids later on.”

“Ok. You will find the nanny at home.”

“And where will you be? You are always

avoiding me, what? You found a new man?”

“If I did does it matter?”

“Mxm, I’d feel sorry for him to have you. I

wouldn’t wish you upon my worst anymore. He
will leave you after realizing you are nothing but
dirt!”
“You fuvken –“

“Don’t try it because I am not scared to put you

in line, nxla! Tota ke mang o ka’ batang nywana

Gape gao monte and you are fucking old trash

capable of. Nna ga ke dirwe yalo,ke ta go

you can bring a man to my kids, I will kill you for
that Osa. I will murder you!”

Osa hung up shaking. She quickly switched off

her phone before he could call again.

She quickly pushed her trolley to the car and

loaded everything inside then drove off.

Bonolo looked at apartments decorations on

Pinterest smiling. She took screenshots of a
few designs that she’d love.

Momo walked in and looked at her as she laid

on the bed.

“Uhu, what are you smiling at?”

Bonolo put away her phone and sat upright.

“Memes..”

Momo took out P2k from her purse and handed

it to her.
“For your test. Go and rewrite your test.”

“Oh it’s ok, the lecture said he made us write

the wrong one. We are writing the correct one
on Monday.”

Momo sighed with relief. “See, you were

stressing over nothing.”

“Yeah.. I want to move out. A friend of mine

found accommodation near the school. I feel
the reason why I am failing is because I stay far
and can’t fully use the resources at school.
Right now I am in a group and I can’t contribute
nearly as half as everyone else because they
meet when I am already at home.”
Momo looked at her. “Bonolo wa jola?”

“What?”

“You heard me. Only a man can have you doing

all this. You are always on your phone too. Be
careful, they will impregnate you. Tell me the
truth so I can help you.”

Bonolo sighed. “Ok. I am dating but I don’t want

aunty to know that.”

“Akere UB offers accommodation? Tell mama

that they gave accepted you for school
accommodation. You will go and type out a
letter and give it to her. She won’t refuse. I will
back you up.”
“Ok. Thanks.”

“Ng Ng, not so fast. This evening there’s a

meeting for me. I need you to be on my side.”

“Done deal!”

Momo smiled and sat down.

“So who is he?”

Bonolo forced a laugh. “You will know soon.”

“Really? Do I know him?”

She nodded.
Momo laughed. “I hope it’s not anyone from
church!”

Bonolo stood up. “No. But I love him. And I want

to be with him.. it wasn’t my intention to fall for
him. It just happened. Not everyone will accept
it or be happy but I am going to choose him. He
makes me happy. And his sex is really nice. He
has a bit of temper and a domineering side of
his during sex. I find it all sexy and it makes me
love him even more.”

“Mma when you say that you make me

remember Tefo. I am yet to meet a man who
will do it like him. He could take me to heaven, it
would be painful but he’d never stop. I’d cum so
much and he will carry on.” Momo smiled lost in
the memories then laughed.
“Anyways I am happy you found someone who
excited you this much. Just be careful of
getting pregnant. A man will show you once you
are pregnant.”

“Ng Ng, not him. He’s perfect. And if I do get

pregnant then we will be a happy family.”

“Nolo don’t try it. A man will leave you in a

desert with no water. Trust me, you will realize
then that only Jesus can walk on water.”

“Not him.. he loves me.”

Later that day Bonolo stared at her books as

Momo’s words rang at the back of her head.
She picked her phone, the guilty of sleeping
with her cousin’s ex eating her from the inside.

The baby she was carrying was about to come

between them. She looked at Tefo’s number for
a while as tears burnt her eyes.
She sniffed then called Tefo.

“Hi.”

“Tefo I feel guilty. Momo is going to be so hurt. I

wish we hadn’t kissed that day. It started all this.
I allowed for this to happen. Momo loves me.
She has always been with me and now I am
betraying her. I have turned into something I
always thought I would never turn into.”

“Bonolo… I know you regret it but there’s

nothing we can do now. You are pregnant and I
want my baby. I also feel bad but there’s
nothing we can do. I hate that this is going to
isolate to from your family.”

She sniffed crying.

“Nolo…”

“I am bad person.”

“We are both responsible for this. We will talk

properly about it tomorrow ok?”

“Can’t you come now?”

“I am busy right now. I will call you later.”

He dropped the call. Bonolo rubbed her eyes

wondering why he was not saying about their
relationship. She closed her books and laid
down on the bed trying to sleep but sleep
deserted her leaving her struggling with guilt.

At the police station, Tumo’s lawyer reached for

his hand.

“I will get you out I promise. Right now I need

you to be strong. It’s going to be a tough case
but I promise you, you will be out of here.”

Tumo nodded. “Where is Zoe?”

“Uh your wife’s sister took her. I will be

managing your things so don’t worry. Right now
Tefo filed a lawsuit. He wants 400k, half of
what his mother should have gotten from the
farm. His lawyer is not the type I want to be
fighting right now so I have agreed to settle it
out of court. He is entitled to half his mother’s
money seeing that the money is the only thing
that is not in her will.”

“Is Amo really dead? There was still movement

when I left her.”

“She is gone.”

“She was lying to me.” Tumo shook his head

and laughed. “I allowed a snake in my life.”

“Your schizophrenia needed treatment Tumo

not the things you were buying. I’m happy a
psychiatrist proved it. The way you killed her
was not normal. No normal person would have
done that. I know the police is putting pressure
on you to show them where the body is. Tumo
once they have the body and the weapon, there
will be a serious charge. Right now all they have
is your confession and-“

Molefe opened the door and walked in. “And

finger prints to the clothes. See how we sat on
evidence for three weeks. Had we tested him,
we would have long solved this case.”

The lawyer sighed. “So you are going to arrest

someone who was diagnosed with
schizophrenia and clinical depression right in
front of you?

“Ahh mister, Rona our job is to arrest the

murderer… the rest you are saying is not our
portion. This man committed a crime and… I am
going to arrest him. You will tell the judge that
he has schizophrenia and clinical depression.
For all we know he could be putting up a show.
Tumo David, you are under arrest for the
murder of Freya David. You have the right to
remain silent. Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law. You have a
right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an
attorney, one will be appointed for you.”

He handcuffed Tumo. “We will be taking you to

first offenders where you shall remain waiting
for your trial.”

The lawyer looked at Tumo. “I will get you out. I

promise.”

The police walked with Tumo out a while later

they walked out of the police station to the
prison van as a journalist took pictures and
videos.
“Mr. David we hear you are going to plead
insanity, is that true?”

He remained quiet as he walked.

“Is it true that you murdered your mother as

well?”

He got in the van with a police officer.

At the first Offenders Prison, a prison guard

took Tumo to the cells after he put on the
prison clothes. The prison guard unlocked the
bar.
“Tsena..”

Tumo swallowed looking at the other prisoners

looking at him. He slowly walked inside holding
another set of prison clothes. The prison guard
locked the bar and walked away. Tumo looked
around feeling lost then moved to the corner
and sat down on the floor.

At Amara‘s house, Amara took a deep breath
then replied him.

Amara: I enjoyed the food, thank you.

Tefo: Kete ka supper? (Should I bring supper?)

Amara: Tefo wee!!

Tefo: What? 👀I can come.

Amara: Don’t. And if you are trying to sleep with
me Tefo it won’t work.

Seconds went by then her phone vibrated

ringing. She looked at him calling thinking of
ignoring it but found himself answering. She
picked and kept quiet.

“Wareng?”

“I am a lesbian.”

He laughed. “So? I have no problem with that.”

“You are trying to sleep with me. Koore o ta ka

nopa ya prison and- (you are bringing your
horniness from prison and –)”

“Nopa ya eng?” He laughed . “Nana thamma o

seka wa mpuisa yalo.”
“Then why are you doing all this because you
and I are not friends!”

“Friends don’t start as friends. They start as

strangers.”

“I don’t want friends. I know where you want

this to go. Remain my cab guy. The previous
one was quiet.”

“I am not him nana and I will never be. I used to

think about you when I was in prison. I don’t
know, you just intrigued me. You seem like a
mystery and I want to know more about you.
That’s all. The last thing I was thinking is
getting into panties.”

“Know what about me Tefo? There’s nothing to

know.”

“There is… like what are your full names?”

“Amara Tseo Monare.”

“Is mmagwe Wame your only sibling?”

“No. I have a younger brother. He’s in the

military. He is currently deployed in
Mozambique.”

“Should I be scared?”

“I don’t know… he hurts those who hurt his

sisters. And those who bother them. Maybe you
should be scared.”
Tefo chuckled. “I will handle him. You have a
beautiful smile.”

She smiled involuntary.

“And you are very pretty. I love your confidence

and just how feisty you are.”

“And I don’t like anything about you.”

“Tell it to my face then.”

“What?”

“Open the door.”

Amara walked to the door and opened. She
looked at him in shock.

“I said tell it to my face.”

She blinked and opened her mouth..

“What are you doing here?”

“Is that what you don’t like about me?”

“I am taking a break from relationships.”

“I didn’t ask you that.”

“Its only day 1 of you being out of prison. Don’t
you have other things to do?”

He smiled. “Why are you fighting? I am hungry,

o heditse chicken? (Did you finish the
chicken?)”

“Yes.”

“Ahhh Rasta!”

She looked at his facial expression and laughed.

“Ke mang Rasta?”

“Rasta is someone who can finish a full chicken

alone. Ke kopa chicken. I am going to look for
it.”

He walked in the house and spotted it. Tefo

took the paper bag from her kitchen counters
then started eating.

“Let me warm it for you.”

A car drove outside. Amara walked over and

looked, her heart skipped as her ex’s car drove
in. Tefo looked at her as she quickly closed the
door locking it.

“What’s wrong?”

“My ex is here. He likes harassing me, I put a

restraining order but it won’t stop him. If he
sees you he’s going to lose his mind.”

“What?”

“He will fight you and then beat me. We need to

stay in the house. He’s the reason I can’t even
start a relationship.”

The ex boyfriend walked over and knocked.

“Amara who’s car is this?! Open the door I just

want to talk.”

“Go away Richard! I am calling the police!”

Richard banged the door even more!

“Who’s inside with you? Open the door Amara!”

“Go to the bedroom. Lock yourself inside. I will

“Tefo you don’t understand –“

“Go to the bedroom. I will handle it.”

Tears filled her eyes. “He-“

“Do it.”

She walked to her bedroom and locked herself

inside dialing the police. Tefo walked to the
door and unlocked it. He looked at Richard who
glared at him then laughed.

“It’s you? Who could have guessed it? I take

your girlfriend and you look for my ex so to
what? Prove a point? Huh what?”

“Its your habit to beat women?”

“O ta nyela laitaka –“

Tefo bit his lower lip and punched him. Richard

staggered back, Tefo grabbed him punching
him again. Richard threw a punch so hard that
Tefo felt as if his jaw had been dislocated as
blood filled his mouth. He gained his balance
kicking Tefo hard in the stomach. Tefo coughed
out blood moving back. Richard hit Tefo’s head.

He tried hitting him again but Tefo dodged

hitting him on the eye. Richard staggered
missing a step and fell. Tefo kicked his balls
hard then kicked his face. He dragged him up
and punched him, anger and rage taking over
him.

The memory of him running after his car played

in his mind, Tefo hit him again even harder as
he tried to gain his balance. Tefo picked a brick
and smashed his head with it breaking it in half.

Amara rushed out, she looked at Tefo who was

hitting Richard. Amara looked at the blood
dripping from Richard’s head.

“Tefo… Tefo! The police is coming!”

Richard tried to stand still but somehow he felt

dizzy as something wet his neck. He bended,
Tefo kicked him sending him right to the ground
and stomped on his neck.

“Tefo! Tefo stop! You are going to kill him!

Tefo!”

Tefo stomped on his neck again.

“Tefo!”

Amara pushed him. “Tefo… come back to me..

it’s ok. The police is on the way… Tefo…”

The anger in his eyes scared her so much.

“Tefo… hey…heey…. It’s ok.”

She cupped his face. “Tefo look at me.”

He closed his eyes inhaling then breathed out.
He opened his eyes and it was as if whatever
that had gotten over him was gone and his eyes
were clear. Blood dripped from his nose.

“Come I will clean you up.”

She pulled him in the house as Richard

struggled to get up bleeding from his head

She pulled him to the couch then took the first

aid kit and started cleaning him up.

“The police is coming. I told them he was

fighting you.”
“They are going to take me in. I have a pending
case.”

“You were acting in self defense. What did he

mean by saying he took your girlfriend and now
you are after me?”

“My ex… she was cheating on me with him and

eventually left me. I didn’t even know you before
mmagwe Wame happened. He beats her too.”

“He’s a woman beater. It started with a few

slaps at first. He’d apologize. Get me gifts, give
me money. I was unemployed and…I
appreciated it. Then it was punches. A few blue
eyes. After that he’d just beat me with a
shambok like I was a child. The last stroll I
woke in the hospital. My father has never put
his hands on me before. No matter how angry
he got.” Amara rubbed her eyes. “He likes
harassing me. He’s had fights with everyone
around me. I lost friends because of him. The
way you were beating him… it’s like it wasn’t
you.”

“I lost it. I don’t like him, I am sorry. I am not a

woman beater if that’s what you fear. I hope
you didn’t expect me to just get a beating and
not fight back.”

“No. Thank you… thank you so much. The police

is going to come after 30 or so minutes.”

Amara turned as a car drove off outside.

“He is running, like usual.”

Tefo looked at her hands shaking. He held her.

“It’s ok. He will never harass you again.”

She bit her lower lip trying not to cry. “I don’t

want to cry again. You will soon think I like
crying.”

“I don’t think so. Strong people cry too.”

She laughed as tears fell. Tefo got up and

hugged her.

Her sister parked outside and rushed inside.

“Amar!”

Tefo let go of her and allowed the sisters to hug.

“Did he hurt you?”

“No. Tefo beat him.”

“At last! I hope you took off his teeth Tefo.”

Tefo smiled. “He shouldn’t bother again. I will

wait for the police outside.”

He walked out. Maya smiled. “Thank God he

was here. I told you Tefo is a good man..”

Amara smiled. “You should have seen him when

he was beating that devil… it was as if
something got over him. Apparently that girl I
told you is running around with Richard is his ex.
She cheated on him to go to Richard. Kana
Richard will sell you dreams then make you a
punching bag.”

“She will learn her lesson. Should I wait here

with you?”

“Ng Ng, it’s ok. Gape Tefo is hungry. I was

about to heat up his chicken before that Satan
came.”

Maya laughed then walked out. Amara heat up

Tefo’s food and walked out with it in a plate
looking at him sitting on his bonnet.

“Here…”
“I thought you didn’t like me.”

She looked at his smile and shook her head as

a smile covered her face.

“I don’t. I’m just being polite.”

Tefo took the plate and looked in her eyes. “I

am sorry he used to beat you but not everyone
hits women.”

***

Richard drove to his house holding a tissue to

his head to stop the bleeding. His phone rang.
He looked at Momo calling and answered.
“What?”

“Uhu what’s wrong?”

“I have just been attacked by thieves. I tried to

fight but I couldn’t overpower them..it was one
against two.”

“I am sorry, are you ok? Where are you?”

“I am going to the clinic.”

“Which clinic? I am coming.”

“Can you believe your loser ex is dating my ex?

Does this boy understand who I am?”
“Tefo is in a relationship?”

“Yes. With my ex! I am going to teach him a

lesson he will never forget! He doesn’t know me.
She will never be his!”

“Why are you so concerned about your ex? Isn’t

she in the past? You are all over the place! Did
the thieves beat you or it was Tefo? He gets
into a different state when really pissed off. Ene
a ka go nyedisa gore! O ntena gore, mxm!”

She hung up.

Bonolo looked at her cousin now awake.

“What did you say about Tefo?”

“Apparently he’s dating Richard’s ex. I want to

see this so called ex. I wonder if Tefo did it on
purpose.”

“Tefo is dating another wo man?!”

“Yes. Mxm.. I am coming.”

Momo walked out. Bonolo took a deep breath

but her heart pounded even more. She rubbed
her forehead, here she was carrying his child
meanwhile he has a girlfriend that he didn’t
even tell her about. She tried to sit still but the
temperature in the room started rising. She
took out her phone and called him.

“Hey..”

“So you are seeing another woman while you

are busy telling me that you want us to raise
this child together? Huh? I am not going to
share you again Tefo!”
“Share me again? What are you talking about?
Bonolo we were never in a relationship.”

“You said you want us to do this together.”

“Yes, that doesn’t mean I want us to be in a

relationship Bonolo. I never said I wanted you
that way. You happen to be carrying my baby,
that’s all.”

5 more inserts to go. Are people sleeping or we

Bonolo sniffed. “Your intentions are to make me

your baby mama while you go and enjoy your
life? I am about to lose my family, people who
have loved me and cared for me to be a what? A
baby mama?!”

“Bonolo-“

“Don’t Bonolo me! Natefo you want me to

choose this little shit called your baby so that
you can go pursue other woman? At the end of
the day I will be alone. I am choosing my family.
Stay happy with Richard’s left overs which are
beaten by and overly used, I am going to abort
your little shit!”
“If you do it I will –“

“You will what? You put your hands on me and I

will send you to jail faster than your brother ever
did!”

She hung up pissed off. She still had 24 hours

at the clinic in case she changed her mind.
Bonolo sighed, she’d go there early in the
morning.

The police took Tefo’s statement last then took

off. He looked at Amara.

“He broke his restraining order terms so now

they are going for him.”

“I hope so. Are you ok?”

Tefo smiled. “Yeah I’m good. You must be tired.

Go and sleep.”
“Ok. Thank you.”

Tefo pulled her closer and hugged her. She held

on to him then he finally released her.

“See you tomorrow.”

Amara nodded and walked inside her house

wrapping her arms around herself. He got in his
car and drove off.

Amara reached for her ringing phone.

“Maya…”

“Hi. Has Tefo left?”

“He just left.”

“After this I don’t think Richard will ever bother

you.”

“I hope not. Tefo really beat him. I didn’t expect

it because Tefo is thin and Richard has a bigger
body.”

“If I were you… I am just saying if I were you I

would allow Tefo in and stop fighting him every
chance I get. From there I would feed him
because he’s obviously thin because he doesn’t
eat enough and he’s constantly stressed. I’d
feed him and make him mine. He is always
ready to learn so I am sure if I were you, I’d then
teach him how to love me properly. I know he
doesn’t have much, you earn more than he ever
makes but he’s the type to make up for that in
other departments. But anyways that’s me.”

Amara looked at his jacket on the couch and

picked it up.

“I am not ready. Not yet.”

“Its ok. I was just saying. I am not putting you

under pressure. Anyways mma let me put
Wame to sleep.”

Her sister hung up then Amara walked to her

bedroom and laid down on the bed holding the
jacket.
***

The following morning, Tefo called Bonolo after

dropping a student off at her school.

It rang unanswered then he called her again.

“Natefo.”

“O ngaletsi?”

“I won’t be for long. Osa was right. She was

right about everything. Keeping this baby would
have been the biggest mistake of my life.”

“Can we talk? O kae?”

“I have nothing to say to you. “

“Can I just say something then you can go and

do what you want? Thamma kea go
kopa…please.”

“Natefo-“

“Where are you?”

“At home.”

“Meet me by the tuckshop.”

*
Over 15 Minutes Later, Bonolo sighed as Tefo
parked besides her. She got in the car and
folded her arms silently.

Tefo took her hand. “I am sorry you feel I lied to

you. I just thought we were done with this
relationship. Me, Osa and you. When you told
me you were pregnant, I didn’t know you still
want us to try again.”

“Why would I agree to keep this baby Natefo if

you are not going to be with me? It doesn’t
matter anymore because I am getting rid of it. I
regret not listening to Osa. She was looking out
for me and I decided to listen to my stupid
heart!”
“I am not dating Richard’s ex. I didn’t even
know she’s Richard’s ex till last night. She’s
one of my clients. I dropped off her daughter
and he found me about to leave. He caused a
scene thinking I was there because I am trying
to get his ex and we got into a fight.”

Tears filled Bonolo’s eyes. “Waaka! You are just

saying it because –“

“Take my phone and check. She’s mmagwe

Wame.”

Bonolo took the phone and checked. The last

message mmagwe Wame sent was today in the
morning.

Mmagwe Wame: Tefo I am really sorry for what

happened yesterday but at the same time I am
more than grateful for what you did, you put
that devil’s advocate in his place. He has
abused us for far too long and it needs to stop.

Bonolo blinked. “I don’t want to be a baby

mama. I am still young.”

“Why don’t we give us a chance? Try and work

out things?”

“I don’t want to be pregnant anymore. I can’t

relay on you. Lady night you told me that you
never said you wanted to be with me. How do I
know you are saying all this because you don’t
want me to abort this-“

Tefo kissed her. Bonolo closed her eyes as he

kissed her even harder stroking her tongue with
his.

“I want you. I just didn’t want to continue

coming between you and your cousin. I am
sorry for the miscommunication Nolo but we
can work on this. Please don’t abort our baby.
We are about to be a family.”

“What if you find someone else? Someone’s you

like more than me?”

“Find her how when my focus is this baby and

you? I know you are not happy but I am going to
make this right. Please don’t give up do early.”

“I don’t want you hurt me.”

“I won’t do that… did you lose all trust in me
Nolo?” He cupped her face and kissed her again.

“Give it a chance.”

Bonolo sniffed looking at him. Tefo smiled then

reached over behind him and took a plastic bag
and handed it to her.

Bonolo looked at the food then looked at him.

“Who were you buying Nando’s for yesterday?”

“My brother.”

She sniffed. “I am scared you are saying all this

so that I don’t abort the baby.”
“Babe the problem right now is that you have
lost all trust in me. If this is how we are
officially going to start then we might as well
not try anymore. You can go and abort the baby,
you and I are done. I wouldn’t want to be in a
relationship where every little rumor you hear
about me had the power to make you lose trust
in me.”

She rubbed her eyes looking at him.

***

Momo looked at Richard at the hospital. His

face was swollen and his other eye was closed
and swollen too.

Richard looked at her with the other eye. “Hi..”

“These thieves really showed you neh? Don’t
fight them next time, he will kill you. Uhu, sorry,
they will kill you. Are you sure it was the thieves
or just Tefo putting you in line?”

“If you have nothing to say-“

“Relax. You probably thought he’d always be

underneath you. Sorry baby but if Tefo has your
ex then she will never come back to you. Ene rra
he makes a woman cum. He makes sure the
woman is satisfied before he can satisfy
himself unless he’s punishing you for
something. Other than he knows how to handle
a woman.”

Richard looked at her clenching his jaw.

“Relax… at least now we know there is someone
who can put you in your place, the next time you
think you can beat me, he will kill you. And by
the way I am breaking up with you. Your ex will
take my man while I am busy with you. Bye.”

“Momo! Maemo?”

Momo walked out and breathed out.

Two Weeks Later…

Momo walked inside Bonolo’s bachelor pad and

smiled.

“Wow!”

She looked at the furniture in the house. “All this

belongs to your housemate?”
“Yes.”

“They must be rich at her house. So you will be

sleeping in the bedroom together?”

“Yes. I am getting my bed later today.”

Momo walked around excitedly then hugged her.

“This is so nice. I hope you don’t lose focus
Bonolo and end up like me, I failed varsity and
here I am.. don’t be like me.”

“You can always go back to school.”

“I am planning to do a short course. A baking

course. People make money from baking. I
want to try it.”

“Ok.”

Bonolo’s phone rang, she picked clearing her

throat.

“Hi.”

“Have you moved?”

“Yes. I’m home now.”

“I will pass by seeing you later.”

“Ok.”
Tefo hung up. Momo smiled and snatched the
phone to see the caller.

“Who is he?!”

Bonolo’s heart skipping. “Momo give me my

phone! Momo!”

Momo tried to open the call log to see but

Bonolo pulled her hand that Momo dropped the
phone by mistake. Bonolo quickly picked it
laughing.

“I will introduce you.”

Momo laughed. “The way you are hiding this

man.. I hope you are not dating my exes.”

“What? Why?”

Momo smiled. “I am joking. That girl that used

to fight me over Richard moved in his house.”

“Maybe you ending things is for the best.”

“Maybe. I wish I still had a chance with Tefo..I

am scared of approaching him. The last time I
spoke to him he was so cold. He is still angry
and I wish I could take back the hands of time
and…” Momo sat down. “I don’t know. I am a
bad person, I hurt him. He loved me. I can’t get
over how I treated him on my birthday. He had
been saving for that iphone for months. He
could have afforded a latest one but he’s
always been big at this saving business. From
his salary, he’d save some saying it was for our
wedding and then he started saving again for
the phone. I threw that on his face. We had a
plan… our plan. In two years we were going to
get married. I ruined that for quick money. Now
I am here.”

Bonolo sat down. “There are other men out

there.”

Momo laughed. “Once you have been with a

man like Tefo… he.. he will ruin you for other
man. I wish I can open my heart to show him I
never stopped loving him. Can’t you help me
approach him? Nolo pretty please… please
please! I know he’s always looked at you like a
younger sister. You can talk to him.”
Bonolo stood up. “Momo-“

“Bonolo please. I am begging you… please. I

don’t want money… I just want him back. I will
do anything please.”

Bonolo looked at her cousin as she knelt down

before her.

At first offenders prison, Tumo ate the food his
lawyer has brought him while the he spoke to
him through the bars.

“Your bail hearing is tomorrow. They should be

able to release you because you are not a flight
risk.”

“Thanks.”

“I am meeting Tefo’s lawyer today to discuss

the settlement. If there’s an agreement then the
payment will be processed.”

Tumo nodded. “The people here know Tefo.

They liked him and some have been mistreating
me because Tefo told them what happened but
I have made one friend. He is into bible
study..he said God forgives every sin. Maybe he
will forgive me.”

“Do you still see your mother?”

“Sometimes but the zombi has stopped

following me. The friend I made prayed for
me..”

“I have hired another lawyer for the case to help

me. A well known criminal lawyer. She’s won
impossible cases before. I could have
approached Tefo’s lawyer but she won’t agree
seeing she’s already defending your brother so I
got another one. Expensive but worth the
money. Together we will get you out of here.
We are going ahead and pleading insanity. You
will be admitted to Sabrna instead.”
“I am not crazy.”

“Would you be rather here where you may end

up getting sexual abused or go to a hospital
where they help people who see things? Choose
your battles correctly. I have to go. We will talk.”

Tumo finished eating and went back to the

other prisoners.

***

Amara sat in her office talking to her sister over

the phone.

“Ahh mma I don’t know what happened. Maybe

the whole Richard issue turned him off. He will
drop me off and pick me up but won’t say
anything much. Yesterday when he picked me
up he had gotten me food. He just handed it to
me. I think he lost interest.”

“Shouldn’t you be happy then? He’s doing what

you wanted him to do.”

Amara bit her lower lip. “Ng..”

“Focus on being alone. Akere wena you are not

ready? Maybe he’s found someone else. Men
this days won’t run after a woman knowing she
doesn’t want him. Kana men know their worth. I
have to go. We will talk.”

Her sister hung up. Amara stared at her phone

for a while. There was no way she’d call him to
ask why he had stopped giving her as much
attention like he was doing before. Her pride
just wouldn’t allow her.

An Intern knocked and walked inside her office.

“Hey, I am going to grab lunch. Let’s go.”

“Uhh-“

“Please. You know you are the only one that

speaks to me in this building.”

Amara laughed. “Ok..”

***
Tefo walked in the restaurant he was supposed
to meet his lawyer in and looked around. His
eyes fell on Osa who was walking out holding
her order wearing a white jumpsuit. She lifted
her head and looked at him slowing down.

Tefo smiled. “Hi.”

She smiled back. “Hey…”

“You look nice.”

“Thanks. I was just collecting my lunch. By the

way I wanted to say thank you for rejecting
Dineo. I know you could have slept with her if
you wanted.”
“I wouldn’t ever hurt you like that.”

She locked eyes with him then nodded. “Thanks.

Let me go before I start overthinking this
conversation. I know myself.”

Tefo laughed. “Ok.”

Osa walked out. She turned to see if he was

looking but he was already walking further
inside the restaurant. She sighed and continued
walking to her car. It was now day 14 of staying
away from him and she was not going to let the
little interaction derail her from her progress.

Tefo walked to his lawyer and sat down.

“Hi.”

Natasha looked at him. “It wouldn’t have killed

you to at least look formal.”

He smiled staring at her. “I drive a taxi for a

living. These are my work clothes.”

She sighed. “I will do the talking throughout.

The police dropped every charge on you.”

“What happens when they don’t find the body?”

“It’s not your issue. Anyways, they have their

person behind bars.”

Tumo’s lawyer walked over. “Good afternoon.”

Natasha sighed. “Hi, we can begin. I am sure

you have had enough time to look through the
agreement I sent to you.”

“Yes. I have had a word with my client. Tefo will

get his 400k. As for you trying to fight the issue
that he was tricked into signing, you will
dismally lose and you know it. A contract is a
contract. It’s your client’s word against my
client’s word. You can’t price anything. He
wasn’t held at gun point.”

“I know but I can choose to just make your life

difficult. How much more can you handle?
Already everyone is aware of what kind of a
person your client is. Why would Tego give
away his share of the farm when by then he
was suffering financially? I am sure the
prosecutor can use this to their advantage in
court for the murder.”

He sighed. “460k and-“

“500k and let’s squash this.”

“You won’t even get a dime if-“

“Then we will see you in court.”

“Fine. 500k.”

“Perfect. Now we can all be happy. I will provide

Tefo’s banking details. Make sure by tomorrow
we have that money. Tefo let’s go.”

Tefo walked out with her.

“Thank you so much.”

“You are welcome. The police just dropped the

charges. Now I can file and sue them for
incompetence and unlawful arrest. That’s going
to be a process so how about you process my
money after you get yours..”

He smiled. “Yes mam!”

From a distance away, Amara watched Tefo
talking to a beautiful woman. She looked at his
smile as he said something to her before she
walked away.

There was no way she’d compare to that. Now

it all made sense why he had stopped giving her
attention.

Her colleague looked at her. “Are you ok?”

“Yes, you can go and order for us. I am coming.”

She walked over following him to his car.

“Hi.”
Tefo turned and looked at her. “Hey.. fancy
seeing you.”

“What happened? I am straight forward person

so you can just be straight with me. You charm
me getting my attention them you pull away
suddenly. What changed?”

Tefo smiled staring at her. She looked so cute

trying to hide her vulnerability.

“Do you want to talk about it here nana?”

“Yes. I just want to know.”

“After the fight with Richard, I realized what you

meant when you said you were not ready for a
relationship. I didn’t want to keep pursuing you
when you obviously don’t want-“

“So you have never had a woman play hard to

get Tefo?”

“I have but I don’t want to force myself onto you

when you are still trying to heal.”

“And now what? You move on to the next better

thing?”

Tefo got closer and put his hands on her waist.

“What exactly do you want nana? Talk to me.”

She looked at him and shrugged. “I want you to

want me. You still do right?”

Tefo kissed her. She closed her eyes kissing

him back as the butterflies in his stomach
danced around while goosebumps erupted all
over her skin.

He pulled her closer taking over all her senses

as he owned her mouth.

He pulled away leaving her still wanting and

baby kissed her.

“I want you. So much… that hasn’t changed.”

She shyly smiled. “I will see you later.”

“Ok.”

Amara turned and walk away blushing as if she

were teenager. Excitement bloomed from her
stomach. She turned and he was still staring.
He winked at her. Amara giggled hurrying off.

***

Later that day Bonolo sat in her house watching

TV. She looked at the time then picked her
phone and opened her Facebook. She paused
looking at Osa’s new post. She had just been
featured in another magazine.

Bonolo looking at the comments and it was

only prominent people commenting.
A part of her felt a bit jealous, it made sense
why Tefo always gave her the extra attention
when they were all still together. Of cause she
was still just a student but she couldn’t help but
compare herself.

A car parked by her door. She quickly got up

and walked out. Tefo stepped out carrying two
plastic bags of groceries.

“Hi.”

She smiled. “Hey.”

He walked in the house and put the plastics

down.
“How are you feeling? Did you take your
medication?”

“Yes. I was about to cook.”

“You can cook for yourself. I have to go.”

“Why? Can’t you sleep over?”

“No. I have a few documents to go through

tonight. I will see you tomorrow.”

She nodded. “We haven’t had sex in a while. I

miss you.”

“The doctor told me the first trimester is very

delicate. I don’t want to hurt the baby. Let’s
wait till then. Please…” He baby kissed her. “Ok?
Gape we are practicing for when we can’t have
sex. You should train me well in advance so
that I don’t struggle after you give birth.”

She smiled. “Ok. Thank you for all this.”

Tefo kissed her forehead. “Let me get back to

work. I will call you.”

She nodded. He walked out. Bonolo picked the

plastics and started packing away everything he
bought. She bit her lower lip wondering if he
was really eating. Maybe she could cook and
surprise later on with dinner at his house.

She smiled getting excited.

***

Amara walked out of the building after knocking

off. Tefo was already waiting. She got in the car
then smiled..

“Hi.”

“Can I pass by grabbing something from my

house then I will take you home?”

“Ok.”

Tefo drove off headed to his house. Amara

looked at the yard as he parked his car. He
stepped out and opened the door for her.”
“You can wait inside. Come..”

She stepped out and walked with him to the

door. Tefo unlocked it and walked inside. She
followed him in then looked at the candles
lighting up his house and the picnic setup on his
sitting room floor. She turned to him.

“Tefo…”

“I want you. I more than just want you. And I

figured maybe I’m not communicating it
rightfully so why not show you.”

She emotionally smiled looking at the roses on

the floor.
“I love it.”

Tears filled her eyes. She looked away blinking

trying not to show him. He walked to the radio
and started playing Lionel Richie, stuck on you.

“Take off your shoes. And your stockings too.”

She smiled taking them off then smiled.

“My sister was going to come by, let me tell her

to come later.”

“Tell her to come tomorrow because you are

not going home tonight.”

She looked at him and he was actually serious.

Momo looked at Richard’s new profile picture

with his new girlfriend.

She opened the comment section and

commented.
Momo: What a wow! Le seka la mmona o, he’s
an abusive woman beater. A serial cheater yet
can’t make a woman cum let alone locate the
clit. I have evidence of his abuse. I will be
posting them in my timeline.

She sighed then someone liked her comment

and replied.

Reply 1: Hee! I’ve been scared to talk. Dated him

for a month and already he had beaten me
twice. I left and never looked back.

Reply 2: I once bumped into him at a club this

one and he had two girls fight over him.

Momo smiled as the replies came through. Her

phone vibrated ringing then picked pressing
record.

“Richard!”

“Delete that comment!”

“I am going to expose you.”

“Maemo I am warning you! Do you hear me? I

am warning you! If you don’t delete that
comment I am going to kill you!”

“I am going to report you for threatening my life

you abusive prick!”

“O tsile go nyela Maemo! I should have killed

you!”

“Threaten my life, you are about to lose your

job.”

He hung up. She sat down going to her timeline

and posted all their conversations that usually
happened he beat including pictures.

Bonolo waited for the cab while scrolling the
comment section at Richard’s profile. The
comments were now over 500 and it was all
people insulting him, some were even tagging
the company where he worked.

The cab hooted outside. Bonolo took the

casserole with the food and walked out locking
behind her.

She jumped in the cab. “Dumelang..”

“Hello, we are going to the location you sent

me?”

“Yes.”
Bonolo sat comfortably as he drove off. She
took a deep breath still going through the
comments. She went to her cousin’s timeline
and over 1k people had commented.

Twenty minutes later the cab pulled up at a

gated estate.

“It’s here?”

“Yes. Let me call him.”

Nolo dialed him and called him. His phone rang

unanswered. She stepped out and banged the
gate looking at his car through the gate.

The security guard walked over. “My sister…”

“Hi, I am here to see the man in apartment 2.
Tefo.”

“I can’t just open for you. Call him and ask him
to open the gate. He has a remote.”

“He is not picking but I can see his car so he’s

inside.”

“I can’t open for you because you are not my

guest here.”

“I am his girlfriend. I just brought him dinner.”

“I hear you but he’s the one who needs to open

for you.”
“Ok, go and tell him Bonolo is outside then. He
will open.”

The security guard walked to the house.

***

Inside the house Amara laughed holding a glass

of wine.

“Tefo stop lying. You were in prison for three

weeks and already you cooked all these lies!”

He chuckled. “You can go and ask the other

prisoners. I was already the king inside. It’s not
all nice but… it wasn’t bad.”
Someone knocked on his door. He kissed her
then got up. Amara smiled relaxing.

Tefo opened and looked at the security guard.

“Sure…”

“Eita, uh there’s a girl outside looking for you.

Are ke ene Bonolo.”

Tefo frowned. “Shit!”

“She wants to see you.”

“Uh… “
He went back in the house. “Nana one of my
cousin’s is here to see me. Let me quickly
handle it and I will be back.”

“Ok.”

He kissed her. “Don’t move.”

He hurried out headed to the gate. Bonolo

smiled as Tefo approached. “I’ve been calling.”

“I didn’t hear the phone. We are having a prayer

session for Amo. My uncles are here.”

“Oh… I thought you said-“

“They just rocked up. You know how it is.”

He opened the gate and walked out. “I thought I

said I’d call.”

“Yes but I am made you dinner and though I’d

surprise you.”

“Oh.. thank you.”

“You don’t look happy.”

Tefo smiled. “I am but you know how I feel

about you traveling at night. You can’t trust all
cabs Nolo.”

“I just wanted to do something for you.”

“Thank you.” He hugged her. She sniffed the
perfume.

“Who’s perfume is this?”

He smiled. “One of my aunt’s is selling them.

She’s been making me test them. It’s family,
you can’t exactly refuse.”

She laughed. “Sorry. It’s a nice one though.”

Tefo moved back. “I have to get back and… pray.

I am sorry that you can’t stay. I still have to tell
you are pregnant.”

“I understand.”
She leaned over wanting a kiss. Tefo hugged
her then kissed her forehead.

“I will call you to make sure you got home safe.

You have money to go back right?”

“Yes, won’t you kiss me?”

“I want to but I am scared I won’t be able to

control myself. You look nice.”

She smiled then he kissed her cheek and

walked back in the yard.

Bonolo got back in the cab. The cab guy looked

at her wondering how she had just believed that
lie.

“My sister is he really your boyfriend?”

“Yes. We are expecting.”

“And you are happy?”

“Very. Why?”

He looked at her and shook his head. “Ah

nothing.”

***

Tefo handed the security guard the casserole.

“Have something to eat.”

“Oh… thank you!”

Tefo walked back to his house and walked.

Amara was not in the sitting room anymore. He
walked to his bedroom and walked in then
looked at her as she looked around. She turned
and smiled embarrassed.

“I was just… making sure there is no other

woman around.”

“You could have just asked. Satisfied though?”

She giggled. “Yes. The colors in this house are

boring. You have nice furniture but your colors
don’t coordinate.”

Tefo walked over to her. She moved back as he

strode over closing the gap between them.

The wall stopped her. He pulled her closer.

“Now I have you. It looked fine to me.”

He kissed her. Amara held on to him receiving

the hot kiss. Just his mouth on hers sent all
sorts of signals throughout her body and she
knew he wasn’t going to let her leave without
having her.

Tefo released her lips going for her neck

unzipping her neck. Her dress fell to her feet.
Tefo looked at her letting out a groan
underneath his breath. It was if he was seeing a
naked woman for the first time ever. He
unhooked her bra with one hand squeezing her
sensitive breasts as she breathed heavily.

He picked her up and laid her on the bed and

kissed her belly up to her breasts then gently
sucked her nipples. She closed her eyes
moaning as her panties got wet.

Tefo went down and pulled out her panty. His

dic grew thicker and harder as she looked at her
shaved p*ssy.

“Open for me nana..”

She opened her legs.

“Fuvk..”

Tefo leaned over parting her p*ssy lips with his

tongue, she moaned almost screaming at the
effect. He rolled his tongue between her
wetness, the tip of his tongue going over her clit.

She closed her legs moaning but he opened her

up and ate her up as if he was possessed. Her
legs begun shaking as her cum dripped. She
looked at him between his legs and the sight
led her to an unexpected climax as she shook
on the bed.

He came back up and kissed her hard arousing

her more then took out his dic and rubbed
himself on her groaning. She held his waist
moaning.

“Tefoooo….”

“Grab the condom under the pillow.”

She reached over for a condom and tried to

open but the pleasure of his dic on her p*ssy
wouldn’t let her focus..

“Open it nana..”

She picked it up and tried opening. Tefo kissed

her unable to wait anymore and #Removed.

.
.

The removed scene will be posted tonight at the

private group when everyone is home.

Dark Side

#47

Tefo kissed her unable to wait and rubbed the

tip at the entrance. He #removed.

.
He went deeper releasing inside and continued
thrusting. The pure hotness of his semen inside
her was enough to send her into a trance of
insane pleasure as she vibrated shaking
cumming.

Tefo kissed her riding her waive then slid out.

She looked at his dic still hard as his cum
leaked.

He pulled her to the edge of the bed not losing

contact and pushed both her legs to her chest
exposing her entire p*ssy.

Tefo kissed her. “I am going to fuck you now.”

She looked at him trying to catch her breath as

#removed.
.

He curved his back and pounded into her

uncontrollably then she felt it coming. Her skin
tingled as that pleasure came over her like an
unstoppable wild fire.

She wasn’t sure what was going as she could

hardly feel herself but it felt good and massive.
Nothing could compare. She squeezed her
thighs together receiving those deep strokes as
he moaned enjoying every second of it.

She relaxed her body letting him do as he

pleased. She looked at him screaming
squatting. Pee like cum ran down her legs as
she rolled her eyes to the back. Tefo picked her
and drilled her till he froze deep inside her, his
dic pulsating offloading.
She looked at him breathlessly then started
crying. Tefo walked with her to the bed and laid
her down. He slid out and kissed her panicking.
Had he hurt her?

Fuck he had taken it too far! What happened to

first impressions?

“Shit nana are you ok? I’m sorry, did I hurt you?”

“I don’t want to get hurt again. My heart can’t

handle it Tefo… I can’t …”

He cupped her face. “I am not perfect. I know I

am not but I can love you if you allow me in. I
want this… let me in.”
He kissed her and hugged her. She wrapped her
arms around him sniffing.

Early in the morning, Amara woke up as Tefo’s

phone rang. She tried to move then paused
realizing he had his body on her holding her
tightly.

She slowly moved but he pulled her closer deep

in his sleep with his dic rested between her legs.

“Tefo… phone.”

Tefo opened his eyes and turned reaching for it.

He looked at Bonolo calling then cut the call
putting his phone on silent.

“I will talk to them later.”

“I need to get home and –“

Tefo pulled her hand kissed her. “Its still early.”

“I-“

He kissed her getting on top of her yet again.

An hour later, Tefo parked at Amara’a gate then

she stepped out. She tried to walk normally but
her p*ssy was burning and sore. She unlocked
the door and walked inside. Amara undressed
in her bedroom then thoughtfully walked to the
mirror and put her leg on the stool looking. She
parted her p*ssy lips but all she could see was
his cum.

She put her leg down and took off his t-shirt and
sweatpants that smelt of him.

She had broken her own 90 day rule but then

there was no way she would have stopped him.

She paused thinking of him and the way he had

done in the morning. A smile covered her face

She snapped out of it and looked took a quick

shower. She walked out if the bathroom
dripping wet after her shower then ironed her
clothes and dressed.

Outside, Tefo stood next to his car calling

Bonolo.

“Tefo-“

“I am sorry. I lost track of time.”

“I was calling you.”

“I know but I couldn’t answer. The prayers

ended late.”
She sniffed. “And this morning?”

“I just woke up. I am sorry. Please forgive me.”

“Tefo if you are not going to treat me right I will

kill this baby and go home. You are not trying or
showing you are fully committed to this. I am
not stupid. Why don’t you just tell me you don’t
want me so I know instead of-“

“Wa omana baby?”

She stopped talking and started crying. “You are

not being fair.”

“I am sorry. Let me make it up to you… I will

book you for your nails and a massage. How’s
that?”

“I want you here with me.”

“Ok. I will come by for lunch.”

“You promise?”

“I promise. I will give you the massage.”

She sniffed. “Ok.”

“What should I bring you?”

“Magnum is fine.”
“Ok. I am sorry.”

She sniffed again. “Ok..”

“I will call you back later.”

He hung up and sighed wondering how he was

going to do it. Amara walked out moments later
wearing a dress and flat shoes.

Tefo kissed her.

“Are you ok?”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

He drove off passing by the clinic where they
both tested before he dropped her off at work.

Amara walked inside her office and sat down

smiling alone.

***

Later that morning, Tumo sat for his bail

hearing in court.

His lawyer wrapped up. “My client was

diagnosed with schizophrenia. What he needs
in medicine not to be locked up. He needs a full
assessment where his condition is monitored
and carefully treated. Thank you.”
The judge nodded. “We have heard both the
reasoning. The crimes the defendant
committed were gruesome and inhuman. He is
a danger to society and cannot be let out as he
may harm those around him. His bail is refused.
Court dismissed.”

Tumo swallowed looking at his lawyer as the

judge walked out.

“Don’t worry about it. We are pushing for the

trial to start.”

The prison guards helped him up and walked

with him. Tumo slowly walked with his legs
changed to his feet.
***

Bonolo stepped out of the shower and picked

her ringing phone. She looked at Osa calling
then answered.

“Hello?”

“Hi, I just got a call from the clinic. You didn’t

abort?”

“Yes.”

“Bonolo-“

“Tefo and I are going to give this a chance. I am

sorry he didn’t love you or want you as much
but he chose me and I am giving him a chance.”

“He chose you? He didn’t choose you! He’s

just…. Wow I never thought you were this stupid.
I used to think you were smart.”

“Don’t be bitter Osa!”

“Bitter? Me? Hunny I’m far from being bitter. I

pity you.”

“You are jealous and angry because he loves

me.”

“When did Tefo ever say he loved you? Heee!

Girl, wake up. He doesn’t live you. Never did,
never will!”
“Talk about you because with me it’s different.
You are not going to ruin this for me. He’s
actually coming over to the house he’s renting
for me.”

“Yah no shame the delulu is the solulu! You will

see who’s bitter. I tried to help you and I’m
done now.”

She hung up then took a deep breath.

Five Months Later…

In Maun, Amara watched as Tefo walked with a

man around the yard he grew up in. The house
which was once there was no longer there and
the one bedroom apartments he had built were
now done. She looked at him and smiled alone.
Who would have ever known she would here
with him.

He was still thin but not like how he was when

she first met him. Slowly but surely she was
going make sure he had a bigger body. He
smiled turning talking to the man.

His smile made her blush as she stood by the

car. He walked back to her smiling minutes
later.

“Ok. It’s done.”

Amara smiled. “They are so cute.”

“Thanks.”

He kissed her then they got in the car. Tefo

picked a call.

“Hello?”

“Tefo, when are we going to do the right thing?

Your child will be born soon.”

“Eerra, it’s a little tricky because wa tshaba.”

“Yet she didn’t fear sleeping with you.”

Tefo laughed. “I will be there tomorrow.”

“Ok.”

He hung up driving to the lodge they were

sleeping at.

They walked inside. Amara looked at him.

“What time are we leaving?”

Tefo kissed her picking her up. “After this.”

She giggled wrapping her arms around him as

he put her on the bed getting between her legs.

Bonolo walked out the UB premises holding an

umbrella while pushing her belly forward. She
took a deep breath as the heat from the sun
penetrated through the umbrella making her
neck sweaty.

She slowly walked to the bus stop and took her

phone calling Tefo.
His phone rang for a while then he finally
answered.

“Hey..”

“Hi, have you arrived?”

“Not yet. Are you ok?”

“Can’t you get me a cab to pick me up and take

me home? I’m tired, my feet are swollen and it’s
hot.”

“Ok. Where exactly are you?”

“By the bus stop at the gate.”

“I will ask someone to come. How’s the baby?”

“You should be asking about me, akere I’m the

one carrying this baby?”

“Ok, how are you?”

“I am fine. Please come home when I arrive.”

“Ok. Let me call someone to pick and pick you

up.”

He hung up. A while later a cab stopped besides

her.
“Hi, Tefo asked me to come and pick you up.”

Bonolo smiled and got in the cab. The driver

looked at her then her bump before he drove off.
Bonolo smiled.

“How do you know Tefo?”

“We used to work together at the rank. Such a

nice guy. You are Tefo’s baby mama?”

“Yes, his girlfriend.”

He looked at her and continued driving. He

could swear Tefo’s girlfriend wasn’t pregnant
and she was taller than this one.
He drove her to house and parked at the gate.
Bonolo smiled.

“Thank you.”

“Eemma.”

She walked in her yard. She swallowed looking

at Momo and her aunt sitting on the veranda.

Bonolo walked over. “Aunty..”

“Bonolo today was the last day of school right? I

am here to pick you up. You are heavily
pregnant and you are staying in this house
where we never even see your roommate. What
will happen when you go into labor all alone? I
will not let that happen. You are coming home. I
understand you don’t know the father of this
baby but who said that’s a reason for me to
abandon you? You are coming home with me
and I am going to-“

“Aunty-“

“I am done talking. Unlock this door.”

Momo hugged her. “Hi.”

Bonolo unlocked her door and walked. Momo

looked at Bonolo’s reddish eyes as mmagwe
Momo walked to the bedroom.

“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t want to go home.”

“Nolo you are pregnant. You have no baby

daddy to help you because he ran off. You need
us!”

Bonolo’s phone rang in her hand. Momo looked

as the number flashed on the screen then the
name. It was saved as ‘Rragwe Junior ‘.

“Is that Tefo’s number?”

“No it’s just a similar number.*

“Waaka Bonolo, that’s Tefo’s number. Why are

you and Tefo talking? Even saved his number as
rragwe Junior or does he have a baby?”

Bonolo swallowed. “Its not Tefo Momo-“

“I saw that number!”

“He is not the only one with-“

Momo pulled Bonolo’s hand snatching the

phone and answered the call.

“Hey, I will arrive really late tonight so I won’t be

able to come and be with you but tomorrow I
will be there. Nolo…?”

“Tefo…”
“Shit…”

“Tefo…” Her voice shook as tears filled her eyes.

She turned to Bonolo. “Tefo this baby …”

“Can we all talk when I get home? Momo-“

“This baby is yours?”

“Yes and if you put your hands on Bonolo, you

and I will have a much bigger problem.”

Momo dropped the phone and slapped Bonolo.

“My man?!”
Bonolo tried moving back but Momo pulled her
braids slapping her again even harder. Tears
filled her eyes.

“Let go of me Momo!”

Mmagwe Momo walked over holding a bag with

Bonolo’s things.

“Hey! Maemo!”

Momo pulled Bonolo’s hair beating her.

Mmagwe Momo pulled back her daughter.

“Hey! You want to fight, fight me! What’s wrong

with you!”
Momo laughed crying. “So all along you were
watching me like an idiot knowing very well that
you were sleeping with Tefo? Huh? The guy you
told me about, it was Tefo? All this…this house…
it’s Tefo?”

Bonolo cried. “You left him…”

“And you went after him you snake!”

“You pushed me to him! You kept pushing me

to him! Momo-“

“Ohhhh so now it’s me?”

Bonolo shook her head. “Momo I am sorry.”

“When were you going to tell me? When?! Tefo
was off limits because you knew I loved him. I
loved you like a sister and you backstabbed me!
I have been buying this baby clothes and taking
care of you meanwhile you are sleeping with my
man! Mine!”

Bonolo cried even more. “Momo I am sorry. I

didn’t plan to get pregnant-“

“But you planned to sleep with him. That one

you planned it. I told you I wanted him back, you
said you spoke to him, you were lying!”

Mmagwe Momo looked at her daughter as she

cried.
“All I have ever did was love you Bonolo! I loved
you and protected you! This is how you repay
me? And you are so proud of being pregnant
with Tefo’s baby… koore you are so proud of
your witchcraft that you could watch me for
months and lie to me!”

“I didn’t plan falling for him. It just happened.. I

didn’t plan it and-“

Momo took off her shoe and threw it at Bonolo.

She tried going over but her mother stopped her.

“Stop. Let’s go. She’s pregnant.. no matter

what, you can’t fight a pregnant woman.”

Fresh warm tears rolled down Momo’s cheeks.

She walked out.
Mmagwe Momo looked at Bonolo.

“How long have you been sleeping with Tefo?”

Bonolo sniffed and remained quiet.

“And nothing ever bothered you? To at least

know that you can’t sleep with the same person
whom your cousin was with. Did you want him
when they were together?”

“Aunty noo..”

“You have disappointed me today Bonolo. So

much. Right now I am going to choose my
daughter. I can’t take you back to my house, you
two will kill each other. Maybe you should just
remain here and continue with whatever plan
you had. O mpaletsi gompieno. I never expected
such from you.”

She walked out. Bonolo sat down crying.

***

At a lodge in Maun, Tefo kissed Amara from

behind while she stood by the balcony looking
over at the river.

Amara turned to him and smiled. “This place is

beautiful.”

“Yeah..” He kissed her lips. “I love you nana. I

love you so much. I love everything about you.
I…”

She smiled. “What’s wrong?”

“I fear losing you.”

“I am right here.”

“I need to tell you something.”

“What?”

“I don’t know where to start. I didn’t know how

to tell you when we first started and I was
scared you would have walked away then from
there I fell for you and I feared what would
happen if I told you “

“You are scaring me. What’s wrong?”

Tefo took a deep breath.

“Before you there was someone else… I found

out after I started pursuing you that she was
pregnant. I don’t love her because for her to
even get pregnant it was just casual sex. She
knew that, we both did. I have been taking care
of her and the unborn baby financially. I see her
here and there. Please don’t leave me….”

He held her hands as she stared at him in shock.

Amara looked at him for a while.

“Nana say something…”

She moved back. “Are you being serious?”

“Yes but –“
She shook her head. “No..”

“Nana-“

“You are expecting a child Tefo?! How do you

not tell me that? You wait for 5 months to tell
me that? You could tell me everything else but
that? What else are you keeping from me? How
many more children do you have out there?”

“None. I have none. This is the first one. I know I

was wrong to-“

“You lied! I am not going to be dealing with a

baby mama and a baby Tefo! You can forget me.
I am not going to stay for it.”
“Wait-“

“We are done. I will get a bus back home. I am

done. You lied to me, kept a secret for months
and you just drop it on me as if I am supposed
to just accept it. I don’t entertain a liar Natefo.”

“Nana please .. please don’t –“

Amara pushed him walking back in the lodge

pissed off. She grabbed her bag and packed the
clothes she hadn’t packed yet. Tefo held her.

“There is no bus leaving right now. I will take

you home.”
“Let’s go now. When we get to Gaborone don’t
ever talk to me. I knew it would end like this, I
knew you would disappoint me but for you to
wait till I am in love with you is heartless. But
it’s fine..I will be fine.”

“I didn’t mean to hurt you. I was scared-“

“And I am done with you! You are a liar and

cannot be trusted. I am also walking away
because you know have a baby and a baby
mama. That’s not my scene.”

“Babe-“

“You just had to be a liar!” Amara blinked as

tears filled her eyes.
“I want to go, now!”

Later in the evening, Momo sniffed lying on the

bed. She still didn’t understand just how she
hadn’t noticed anything.
She picked her phone and opened her Facebook.
She frowned at the pictures Bonolo had just
uploaded of her in Tefo’s car.

Anger made Momo swallow. She got up from

her bed and dressed then finally walked out of
the house while her mother watched a church
channel in her bedroom.

***

At Bonolo’s house, Bonolo laughed watching a

Netflix series while eating popcorn. Someone
knocked on her door.

It was probably the pizza guy. She got up and

picked her bank card then walked to the door
and unlocked it.

Momo looked at her. Bonolo tried to close the

door but Momo pushed it open walking inside.

“it’s nice being you huh? Go monate!”

“Leave.”

“Why? You sleep with Tefo and –“

“I am calling the police. Leave! Tefo was not

yours because you left him! He was single when
he approached me. Very single and you were
busy running after Richard who was beating
your ass! You think the world revolves around
you Momo? It doesn’t and you are outdated!
You can’t want Tefo to take you back after all
that you did! You are crazy it you thought that
was possible. I am sorry it’s him but I love him
and we are good. Leave my house or I am going
to scream!”

“Tefo is my ex, you were never supposed to

sleep with him!”

“It has already happened and there is nothing I

can do. I can’t reverse it. The baby is here and I
am not going to raise this child alone!”

Momo tearfully looked at her.

“I thought we were sisters.”

“Go. I can see you came here to fight. If you
touch me you are sleeping in a jail cell tonight.
You can go and post me on Facebook. Akere
that’s all you are good at!”

“You are a witch Bonolo! O moloi! And you are a

wh*re! No wonder your mother left you!”

Tears stung Bonolo’s eyes. “At least I am not a

retarded b*tch like you! You are very dump and
stupid! I will never leave Tefo. We are going to
be family. Men will always use you because all
you can offer is that vagina of yours! You can’t
even have an intellectual conversation with
anyone because all you think is dic and alcohol!
Your friends are doing so much in life and you
are the only one who still ride dic for a living!”

“Now we see your true colors!”

“Get out!”

Momo looked at her wanting to beat her but she

found herself getting weak as tears burnt her
eyes. Bonolo rubbed her eyes then quickly
picked a vase on the table as Momo walked
over.

Momo walked without a word. Bonolo put her

hands on her face still shaking. She finally
closed the door and sat down trying to continue
watching.

***

Hours later, Tefo slowed down at Amara’s

house. She hadn’t said a word since they had
left Maun.

“Nana-“

She got out of the car and took her bag. Tefo
went after her.

“Amara-“

“Never come to my house, never call me. We

are done. It’s over. If you bother me I will have a
restraining order against you.”

He looked at her sadly. “I am sorry. I am so

sorry.”

She closed the door on his face and locked it.

Tefo swallowed.

“I am sorry. My intentions were never to hurt

you.”

***

Inside the house Amara closer her bedroom

door and laid on her bed crying. Her phone
started ringing.

“Maya..”

“Have you arrived?”

“Maya I can’t believe Tefo lied to me!”

“Me too but… you are just going to walk away?”

“Tefo is a liar! He doesn’t deserve me. I will not

be with someone who cannot be honest with
me. Who knows what else he is hiding from me?
This is why I never wanted a relationship to
begin with because I knew I would he
disappointed! I am done with him. We are over.”

“Ama-“

“Its over!”

***

Bonolo woke up to someone knocking on the

door. She opened her eyes realizing it was
morning. The knocking persisted while her
phone rang. She picked Tefo’s call.

“Hi.”

“I am outside.”

Her heart leaped. She quickly got up and walked

to the door. She unlocked it and looked at Tefo.

“Hi..”

She hugged him happily. Tefo took a deep

breath then walked inside the house with her.

He sat down. “Come here… we need to talk. I

need to tell you something.”

Bonolo sat down next to him. “What?”

“I met someone who I have fallen in love with.”

She blinked. “What?”

“I met her months ago. We have been together
for a while now.”

Bonolo laughed. “So you have been cheating on

me?”

“Bonolo I never wanted you. You knew that from

the very first day. I haven’t slept with you since
Osa. I haven’t at any point told you that I love
you. All I want is my baby.”

“So you were lying to me?”

“I didn’t lie to you. I just told you what you

wanted to hear because you were using my
baby to get to me. I don’t love you. I never did. I
probably never will.”
Bonolo swallowed. “Who’s she?”

“You don’t know her. I just wanted you to know.”

Bonolo stood up breathing heavily. “My family

just walked on me for you to tell me that you
have been seeing another woman Natefo?!”

“You know I don’t love you. You are just forcing

things. I don’t love you. I told you my intentions
with you before you agreed to sleeping with me.
I wanted to get back at Momo , that’s all.”

“You are not going to get away with using me

Natefo! I would have aborted this baby and
moved with my life! You string me along
feeding me lies! You were lying to me! All along
you were lying to me! I just betrayed my cousin
and all for what?! Who is she?”

“I am not telling you anything. You are left with

around 3 weeks for you to give birth. I don’t
mind taking my baby and you will move on with
my life. As far as you and I are concerned,
whatever you thought we had, it’s over. I am
fine with the pretense. You can keep the house
and furniture. I will still pay rent for a while.”

Bonolo looked at him, tears filling her eyes. She

turned around as her heart ached. She bended
them turned to him.

“Tefo please don’t do this to me. Please don’t

do this to me. I am begging you. Don’t do this to
me…” Her voice shook as she cried. “You are
hurting me. You said we were going to do this
together.”

He got up. “We will discuss a way forward –“

She pulled his hand crying. “I am begging you.

You can’t leave me. I have no one now. What
will I do?”

“I will be there but just as your baby daddy. I

can’t give you anything more than that.”

“You are not leaving me! Tefo won’t leave me!”

“O raya yang? I was never with you.”

She raised her hand to slap him but he held her

rest.
“Stop it!”

She looked at him and burst into tears sobbing

loudly. Tefo hugged her.

“I am sorry but I never loved you.”

Bonolo cried so much till she breathing heavily

while her nose ran.

“I am sorry. I know you had an idea of a family

in your head but it would have never worked out.
I don’t know, maybe if you were Osa.” He sighed.
“I have to go. I will talk to you.”

“So you loved Osa?”

“That’s not what I am saying, I can’t be with you
for obvious reasons!”

“You just said if I were Osa it would have

worked out. She aborted your baby! Did she tell
you that? I should have listened to her.“

“Maybe you should have, bottom line is that it

was never going to be you. I will give you space
but I am done with the pretense.”

“I am going to tell everyone that you were

sleeping with her!”

“Ok.”
He walked out. She followed after him crying.

“Tefo!”

He got in his car. Bonolo tried opening the door

but he started the engine and drove off.

She walked back in the house crying. Bonolo

looked around then picked her phone and went
on Facebook.

She sat down searching for abortion pills then

finally got a number and called it.

“Hello?”

“Hi.”
“I saw your number on Facebook, you sell
cytotec?”

“Eemma.”

“I need the pills today.”

“I am at bus rank. It’s P800.”

“Ok.”

Tefo parked his car at his offices and stepped

out. His lawyer looked at him dressed in a suit.

“Tefo this is not the kind of lawyer I am.”

“I am sorry.”
“I have the contracts ready. If you are going to
run this business then I need you to focus on it.
I like the progress you are making so far,
getting that contract you got was the best thing
to happen to you. I have spoken to a few of my
contacts of mine and they are willing to come
on board. I am setting up a meeting. You need a
PA, the receptionist can’t be a PA and a
receptionist at the same time.”

“Yeah, I’m doing interviews today.”

“Good. Her contract is here. But I have even

better news.”

Tefo looked at her. “The government funding

came through?”
She laughed. “Yes!”

He hugged her making her laugh even more.

“Tefo my husband is crazy.”

He moved back and smiled. “Noted. Thank you.

For everything. For your help.”

“Sometimes all you need is someone to give

you a helping hand. I have set you up in a
meeting with a Minister. He owes me big time.
He’s what you need. When you have made it,
don’t forget where you started. When does your
HR start?”
“Today.”

“Good. Bye.”

She walked away then he walked inside his

offices and looked at more than 15 people in
the lobby, all dressed smartly waiting for their
interviews. Just looking at them took him back
to the time that he was also attending
interviews like all those people and hoping he’d
get chosen.

“Morning!”

They greeted him back. He walked to the

reception desk.
“Can I please have coffee then start sending
them in 15 minutes.”

“Yes Mr. David.”

So far he only had 5 offices and most of his

employees were sharing but then it was a start.

He walked to his office as his phone rang.

“Momo…”

“Can we talk?”

“I have nothing to say to you. If you are

expecting an apology for me you will never get
it.”
“O bona o dira sente? Bonolo is more like my
sister.”

“If you are expecting an apology from me forget

it.”

He hung up and dialed Osa’s number.

***

Osa walked out of her meeting then her a

walked over.

“Your phone…”
She took it and looked at Tefo calling. Osa took
a deep breath and picked.

“Nate..”

“Why did you kill my baby?”

She walked inside her office. “Because there

was no future between us.”

“You could have told me Osa.”

“I shouldn’t have told you anything. Focus on

your pregnancy with Bonolo. I thought we were
done so why are you even hurt that I aborted
the baby? O seka wa bata go ntsena yalo
Natefo. Ke mogolo go ha. (Don’t try it with me
Natefo.”

“I am coming there ke bata o mpolele dilo tseo

face to face.”

“Come and I will be ready for you. I am not the

same Osa that had her mind corrupted by sex. I
am back to who I was before you and if you try
harassing me I will show you what I am really
capable of. Leave me alone!”

Bonolo grunted in her house later that day lying

on her bed. It felt as if her back was cracking in
half. She slowly got up and frowned looking at
the blood that had went through the pad to her
bed.

She grunted as pain slashed her into halves.

She bended as more blood rolled down her
inner thigh. Tears went down to her neck, she
had never felt anything like that.

Slowly sat on the floor but the pain increased.

Amara walked in her house talking to her sister.

“Waitse Tefo didn’t even call me or anything like

that during the day. He sent me flowers in the
morning apologizing for hurting me and that
was it.”

“Maybe he’s just one of those people who

respect break ups.”

Amara laughed. “Maya even if that were the

case, he didn’t even call me to ask if I got the
flowers. Tefo hasn’t spoken to me today.”

“I don’t know Ama, it’s not like there is a way to

resolve it when you have already said you don’t
want a man with a baby. What is he supposed
to do? Abandon his baby? Choose you? Yes he
lied to you but a sensible person wouldn’t
abandon their baby.”

“Tefo was supposed to be honest with me. He

lied to me for 5 months.”

“I understand that but he didn’t really cheat on

you.”

“He lied to me.”

“Ehe mma, then tswa mogo ene. Kana mma

these days you can never find a perfect man. I
am not saying him lying to you was right but
there is no perfect man. He lied about
something important but does that now take
away from how he’s been good to you?”

“I hate being lied to. Tefo should have been

honest right from the beginning. How does he
keep a baby from me? My phone is ringing. Let
me pick.”
She cut the call and looked at Tefo calling.

“Hello?”

“Nana, is there blue file at your house? I think I

forgot it.”

She looked around and spotted it. “Yes.”

“Ok. I will be there in fifteen minutes to collect

it.”

He hung up. Amara hurried to her bedroom

where she quickly freshened up and put on her
shirts and a vest.
Fifteen minutes later, Tefo knocked on the door.
She walked to the door and opened it. He
looked at her and smiled.

“Hi.”

“Hey. It’s inside.”

She moved from the door. Tefo walked in. He

walked over to the file and picked it up. He
turned to her and smiled.

“Thank you. I am sorry for how things turned

out. I should have never kept secrets from you. I
messed up big time. My intentions were never
to hurt you. I was scared of how you would take
it because we had just started but I understand.
I will not bother you. I love you but enough not
to put you through what your ex put you
through.”

He kissed her cheek and walked out. Amara

slowly closed the door sadly.

***

Tefo drove off calling Osa.

“What do you want?”

“I forgot to get directions from Lawrence.”

“And you will not be getting them. Stop trying to

disrupt my life. What’s really bothering you?
That I am not running after you anymore?”
“Baby thamma I am not calling to fight with you.
I will behave.”

“You don’t respect me Tefo. You can’t want to

be friends with my boyfriend when you know
what you were to me. Does that sound right to
you?”

“He is a business man. Exactly the type of

friend I should be keeping.”

“Lawrence is my boyfriend, not your friend! Can

you just leave me alone?”

“You hate me this much?”

“I don’t… who said anything about hating you?”

“Ke bona o sa mpate.”

“Tefo you can’t be friends with my boyfriend. I

even lied about who you are. It has nothing to
do with anything. You can’t be friends with him.”

“Ok. He seems like a cool guy.”

“He is.”

“Are you happy?”

“Yes.”
“I am glad you are. Bye.”

There was silence. Osa took a deep breath.

“Your new girlfriend is feeding you, you are

gaining weight.”

He chuckled. “She was. It’s over now.”

“Is that why you are back to me?”

“No. I just missed you today.”

“Waaka you are lonely and hurting. That’s when

I am most convenient to you. Kante Tefo do you
really think I am stupid? That I am an idiot?
What did you think was going to happen today?
That I would ran back into your arms for you to
reject me again?!”

“That’s not why I came.”

“You are a liar and the next time you-“

“I love you.”

There was a pause.

“I love you. I have been seeing someone and.. I

thought she was the one because of how much
she had me interested but lately it’s been
feeling like something is missing. I know I
sound confused but I found myself thinking
more of you than her. Which is sad because
she’s a good woman but my heart already has
fallen for someone else. I am not saying this to
get you, I am actually happy you found
someone who’s will accepted. I am happy you
are happy. I just wanted to see you. That’s all.”

Osa hung up. Tefo took a deep breath driving to

his house. Just confessing it felt like weight
had been taken off his shoulders.

***

Bonolo stood against the wall with blood

everywhere. She called her cousin but she didn’t
pick then called her aunt but her phone was off.
She grunted as the urge to push came over her
again. She pushed gritting her teeth together.
Veins popped out on her forehead as she
grunted pushing. The baby’s head slowly
opened her up.

Bonolo pushed even harder in her bathroom.

The head slowly slid out. She took a moment

and pushed again reaching over. The whole
baby’s body slid out. She caught it with her
hand and looked at it. She reached for the
scissors cutting the umbilical cord then looked
at her baby having a change of heart
immediately. This was her son, he was a full
human. He quietly cried. Tears filled her eyes as
he stopped.

“No no… baby cry.. cry! God what have I done?!

Cry baby cry!”
She shook him but he remained quiet.

Bonolo reached for her phone and called Tefo

shaking.

“Nolo-“

“The baby… the baby is here, he’s not crying.

Please come..”

“What?”

“The baby is here… he’s not crying. I need help!”

Bonolo tried doing mouth to mouth on her baby

but he was still quiet. Probably dead.

Tefo was going to kill her. That she knew. There

was no way he was going to forgive her. She
tried to think of what her plan had been. She put
the baby on the bed panicking. The blood on her
floors scared her so much. Bonolo walked to
her kitchen looking for a rope. She opened the
drawers shaking with panic. She knew if she
took the baby to the hospital she would get
arrested for aborting. There was no way she
going to jail for this baby. She had to kill herself
but then dying too didn’t sound as easy. She
had to run. Run far away. Go to SA to her
mother.

Tefo’s car drove in outside. She stood up, her

heart racing then tried rushing to the door to
lock it but he opened it walking in.

He looked at her, his mouth dropping open.

“Where is he?”
“What?”

“Where is he?!”

She pointed. “I didn’t know I was… Tefo…”

He ran to the bedroom and looked at his baby

on the bed. He picked him up, he wasn’t moving.
The blood all over the floors made him turn to
Bonolo.

“What did you do?”

“I… I was… Tefo I was… please wait.. let me

explain…”
He looked at her then wrapped him up with a
small blanket on the bed and started walking
out with him.

“Tefo! Tefo wait… he’s dead wait! You can’t take

him to the hospital, he’s dead. Tefo!”

He went for the door. Bonolo picked the metal

rode she kept behind the door.

“Tefo!”

He turned then she struck him with it hard. He

lost his balance falling then she hit him again.
Bonolo jumped back shaking looking at him
then frowned as the baby gasped and started
crying on the floor. Bonolo quickly picked him..
“Tefo! Tefo the baby is alive! He’s alive!”

She looked at him on the floor. “Tefo he’s alive!”

She swallowed looking at the blood from his

head. She put the baby down. “Tefo! Tefo!”

She knelt down and shook him. “Tefo!”

She looked at his unconscious body and stood

up. Her phone rang from her bedroom. She
rushed over and picked.

“Momo-“

“Why-“
“Tefo is dead!”

“What?”

“I was going to abort the baby then I went into

labor. I called him so he could help me with the
baby because he wasn’t moving. He was going
to report me, I hit him to stop him and now he’s
… I didn’t hit him that much.”

“You killed him?!”

“I am going to jail.”

“Shake him. Maybe he’s alive!”

“He is not. I hit his head. He is dead.”

“And the baby?”

“He is here.”

“Stay there. I am coming.”

At Osa’s house, Osa looked at her phone.
Hearing him say he loved her somehow warmed
her heart. They had never given each other a
proper chance but choosing him came with a
lot of judgement.

She took a deep breath, Lawrence was good to

her. Of cause he wasn’t like Tefo but he loved
her. He was the kind of guy who she could
marry again but then there was something
missing. The excitement was there.

She closed her eyes laying on her bed. She

picked her ringing phone then sighed answering.

“Hey…”
“Hi babe, I miss you. I wish I can come over
right now. I don’t know how long I can continue
without marrying you.”

She took a deep breath. “But it’s not even-“

“I know but you are perfect for me. It’s like God
listened to my prayers babe. You are a dream
come true.”

“Ng..”

“Are you sleepy?”

“Yes.”

“Ok, good night. I love you.”

“Bye.”

She hung and laid on her side lost in her

thoughts.

***

At Bonolo’s house, Momo walked inside the

house and swallowed looking at Tefo on the
floor.

Bonolo swallowed. “I don’t want to go to jail.”

“Jesus Bonolo!”
“I need to run away.”

“Bonolo!”

“I can’t … I’d rather die. We can get rid of his

body and start afresh in SA. He has money. We
can send some of it to my account then we run
away.”

“Are you crazy Bonolo?!”

“Momo please… kea go kopa.”

“You want me to be a murder accomplice?”

“Please help me. We can start afresh. We can

take the money and started afresh.”
“You think it’s that simple?”

“Please…we can take 100k today then another

tomorrow. By the time they realize he’s missing
we would be long gone.”

Momo looked at the body then at Bonolo.

“Hi car is outside. You can drive us to a spot

and we throw away his body.”

“Bonolo-“

“Please… I can’t go to jail.”

Momo shook Tefo. “Tefo! Tefo!”

Bonolo picked the car keys and handed them to

Momo.

“What about your baby?”

“We can kill it.”

“What? How many more people do you want to

kill in one night?”

“Ok aunty will remain with him. You will tell the
police that I just ran off. Let’s carry him to the
boot.”

Momo looked at Tefo’s dead body then walked

outside and got in his car. Her hands shook as
she started the engine then reversed going near
the door. She opened the boot and got back in
the house.

“And your neighbors?”

“They can’t see because of the partition.”

They picked the body and threw it in the car.

They looked at him then closed the boot.

“Get your passport, I will pick up mine at home

then we leave the baby and burn his body in the
car and run off.”

Momo parked Tefo’s car at the gate then

stepped out of the car and took the baby from
Bonolo. Bonolo watched her as she walked
inside the yard and took a deep breath. She
checked her bank balance. She hadn’t used
most of the money Tefo used to send her
monthly.

She tried unlocking his phone again but it

refused the password. Bonolo took out his sim
card then slotted it in her phone.

She swallowed opening his cellphone banking

and took a deep breath the PIN she had once
seen him entering.

She frowned looking at the bank balance. He

had 57k. Taking all of it would be suspicious
but then she needed it.

She transferred 50k into her account then took

out the sim card and chewed it. She took a deep
breath. Her mind took her back to all the
decisions that led her to that moment.

She went online and searched for flight tickets

to UK. She sighed and booked her flight ticket
for tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile Momo slowly opened the door and

walked inside the house leaving the baby
outside. Her mother turned to her.

“You are back now? After banging my door?”

“I am sorry.”

“I hope you deal your attitude before Bonolo

comes back home.”

“Eemma. My period just came, do you have

pads?”

“My menstruation barely comes anymore. Let

me check.”

Her mother stood up and walked to the

bedroom. Momo went to her room where she
grabbed her passport and walked out. She
peeped inside her mother’s bedroom and she
was still looking. Momo quickly grabbed the
baby outside and put her on the couch with the
note then ran out. She got in the car and drove
off.

Bonolo looked at her.

“Where is she?”

“In the bedroom.”

She joined the road then something made noise

in the boot. They both looked at each other.

“What’s that?”

Bonolo shrugged. “I think his body just rolled.”

“Ok. Did you transfer the money?”

“Yes.”

Momo took a deep breath. “I hope I don’t regret

this.”

***

Mmagwe Momo walked out of the bedroom

holding an unopened box of pads.

“Momo this… uhu!”

A baby moved and started crying. She slowly

walked over she picked it as a note fell. She
picked it up.
‘’Dear aunty, in sorry but I cannot be a mother. I
am going away for a while. Please care of
Natefo Junior for me. Please find it in your
heart to forgive me. I’m not ready,

Bonolo..’

She re-read the note again then looked at the

baby crying..

“Ebe a ntiretsi dio mang mang tota ngwana I?”

***

At Tlokweng Bordergate, Momo parked in the

bush and looked at Bonolo.
“We need to dump his body. Burning the car is
too suspicious. The fire will catch people’s
attention.”

They both stepped out. Bonolo swallowed as

they dragged his body out of the car. They
pulled him into the bushes for a while then
stopped breathing heavily.

“Let’s go.”

Momo looked at Bonolo. “We need to cover his

body up!”

“I’m going back. What if someone catches us?

We need to go. Maybe you can go home if you-“
“Back home? I’m already an accomplice!”

“Let’s go then.”

They left him and rushed back to the main road

leaving the car behind.

***

The following morning, Osa drove to work

singing along to Ashanti. She smiled alone
slowing down.

The driver next to her smiled as they both

stopped at a traffic light.
“The gents are winning! It can only be a man
making you smile like this. Areng hela?”

Osa looked over and laughed. “Are wa nthata

rra! (He says he loves me.)”

“He is serious.”

“Really? Kana he’s really confusing this one.”

“Believe me, he means it.”

Osa laughed and drove off as the traffic light

turned green.

Her phone rang.

“Mama..”

“Osa… kana Lawrence called your father last

night. He says he’s ready.”

“For?”

“To marry you. He’s going to pop the question.”

She frowned. “I am not ready for that.”

“Osa that man loves you. He-“

“Nna mama I love someone else and I want to

be with him. I am breaking up with Lawrence.”
“What?”

“I love someone else. We will talk when I get

home tonight. I have to talk to you so you don’t
find out from the media.”

At Park Station in Johannesburg, Bonolo looked

at Momo as they got off the bus. She took a
deep breath looking around.

“I have to go to the toilet.”

“There are thieves here Bonolo!”

“I will be back just now. Wait here.”

She hurried off. Bonolo turned and Maemo was

still standing there. She looked around then
walked to a lady selling bananas.

“Dumelang.. where can I find transport to OR

Tambo?”

***

Maemo sighed over ten minutes later

wondering if Bonolo had gotten lost. She looked
around and took a deep breath waiting. Thirty
minutes went by as she waited getting worried.

Momo’s eyes wondered around as she tried to

locate her but she couldn’t spot Bonolo. She
swallowed worriedly. More minutes went by
then Momo walked to the direction Bonolo had
went trying to search for her.

Momo searched for the toilets. Over an hour

later she walked back to where she had been so
standing trying to call again her again but her
number wasn’t going through. She wasn’t sure
if it was the south African sim cards they
bought that were the problem or maybe her
phone was off. Momo looked around then
walked to a B number plate sprinter. The driver
looked at her.

“Sure…”

“Dumelang, ke kopa thuso. My sister is missing.

We arrived an hour ago and she said she was
going to the toilet. She’s not back yet and I can’t
find her.”

“O motswana?”

“Yes, I’m scared.”

“You should be. You two should have stuck
together. Maybe she’s lost. Let me help you
look”

The driver walked around with her as they

looked. Momo walked to the lady she has seen
Nolo talking to.

“Hi, I saw my sister talking to you. The one who

was wearing a black dress and white jacket.
She was looking for the toilets.”

“The short one?”

“Yes.”

“She asked me about getting to the airport not

the bathroom. I even called my brother for her
and he took her there.”

“What?”

“Yes. I think my brother should be back anytime

from now. She was going to the airport.”

The driver looked at her. “My sister, gase gore o

go thogetsi yaanong?”

“No. She’d never. We are going to her mother.

Her mother stays here.”

Momo’s phone rang. She looked at it and it was

Bonolo calling.
“Nolo, I’m going crazy looking for you. I was
trying to call but it wasn’t going through u even
thought something is wrong with the sin card
we bought. O kae? I’m standing by that lady I
saw you talking to. Come, we need to get
going.”

“Momo I am sorry. Yesterday I found out that

Tefo actually doesn’t have much money in his
account. I guess he put most of it into his
business. He had only 57k. There is no way that
money could last us both for a longer period.”

“We will make a plan.”

“I made a plan but for me. Take the money I

gave you and go back home. I am at the airport
and I am going overseas. I don’t know what I
am going to do because I don’t know anyone
there.”

“Bonolo-“

“I am sorry.”

“You made me help you…” She looked around

and lowered her voice. “I helped you and now
you leave me?”

“Maemo I am sorry but I couldn’t take you with.

Just to back home. You will tell them you don’t
know anything about –“

“My fingerprints are on him and his car! You set

me up didn’t you?”
“Momo-“

“You set me up and I was stupid enough to fall

for it because in my mind I was helping you as a
sister. You took advantage of that. You have
never loved me! There’s no way a real sister
would do this!”

“I am looking out for myself. I am going. Go

back home. Nna I am never coming back to
Africa.”

“You are evil!”

“I’m smart. If Tefo didn’t play me all of this

wouldn’t have happened. Bye.”
She hung up. Momo looked at the phone then
tried calling but it didn’t go through. She
thought of the mess they had left behind as
tears filled her eyes. How would the police even
believe her after everything?

At OR Tambo, Bonolo took a deep breath sitting

down in the plane. She had switched off her
phone. Her heart raced as the plane slowly took
off. Bonolo could only wonder where exactly
she’d go upon arrival?

She thought of the weather there and she had

only managed to get just a few things but they
weren’t enough.

She closed her eyes, at least she wasn’t going

to jail.

***

In Botswana, Amara stared at her phone then

picked it up swallowing her pride and called him
but his phone didn’t go through. She called his
office.
“David Transport And Logistics, good morning,
how can I help you?”

“Hi. My name is Amara. Is your boss busy?”

“He is not in today.”

“Oh…”

She hung up and sent him a message.

Amara: You lying to me about such a big issue

hurt me. I told you how much I value honesty. I
never wanted a man with a child because I don’t
want to be dealing with the baby’s mother’s
drama’s or living in fear of you going back to
her. I’ve been there before.
She sent him another one.

Amara: You can come by later so we talk.

***

Osa parked her car at Tefo’s company. She

stepped out of the car and walked inside. It was
actually very nice. She went to the reception.

“Hi, I’m Osa. I’m here to see Nate.. Mr. David.”

“Mr David is not yet in.”

“He’s not? What time will he come?”

“I am not sure. Usually he’d be here.”

Osa took out her phone and tried calling him but
his phone wasn’t going through.

She smiled. “Ok thanks.”

Osa walked back to her car and drove to Tefo’s

house. She parked at the gate and stepped out.
Looking through the gate, she couldn’t spot his
car. She rang the intercom. The security guard
walked over.

“Dumelang..”

“Hi, the guy who stays there..” She pointed.

“Natefo, where is he? Do you remember me?”

The security guard smiled. “Eemma, he never

came back home.”

Osa nodded. “Thanks.”

She went back in the car getting worried.

***

That same morning, two men walked in the

bush near the Tlokweng Border gate chatting.

They slowed down looking at a human lying on

the ground and walked over.
They turned his body and shook him. The other
shook his head. “I think he’s dead. See the
blood from his head?”

The other one knelt before him. “He is not dead.

His body is warm. I think he was just attacked.
Let’s carry him.”

“He-“

“He is dead!”

“He is not! Let’s carry him back to the truck. He

needs the hospital. He’s not dead!”

Both men picked up Tefo and quickly walked

with him back to their truck. They looked
around and quickly put him inside their truck.

The sprinter driver looked at Momo.

“Where is she?”
“She says she’s going to UK. We came together
because we are moving here. Now she’s telling
me to go back yet she’s the one who dragged
me here!”

“I am sorry. Your sister is not a good person. My

Sprinter is leaving now so you can jump in and I
will take you back home.”

“I feel she’s lying to me. How much is a flight to

UK?”

“Ah around 18k. My sister lives in Ireland. She’s

never paid more than 30k to go there.”

“But she’s… she’s lying. She just can’t go there.

She’s lying.”
“Mme kana going to UK as a motswana is the
most easiest thing that’s why everyone is going.
You don’t need much, just your passport
because gao tloke le visa tota. When she gets
there she will start taking care of the old. It’s
easy.”

Momo swallowed listening to him. Tears

scrolled her eyes. The driver sighed.

“Come my son sister.”

Momo in the sprinter back to Botswana and sat

by the window holding in her tears but all she
wanted to do was just cry. She felt more than
stupid. She was sure the police would arrest her
immediately. She sniffed looking out through
the window.

Tears flowed down her face. Momo sniffed

tearfully crying as the sprinter started moving.
Her head spun as she tried to think of a way out.

That afternoon, Osa sat in her office but she

couldn’t help but worry. His phone was still not
going through and it stole her happiness. It was
unlike Tefo, he was not at work too.
Osa took a deep breath. Her door opened then
Lawrence walked in.

“Hey… busy day?”

She looked at him as he held a brown paperbag

of food. He walked over and kissed her.

“Are you ok?”

“Yes. A little work stress but I’m fine.”

“You haven’t been answering my calls. Did I do

something?”
She looked at him. He was your perfect guy and
and here she was stressing over Tefo who
could wake up and decide he didn’t what her
anymore. He wwasn’t as as reliable as
Lawrence.

“Baby are you ok?”

Osa took a deep breath as tears filled her eyes.

Was she being ungrateful… he already wanted
to marry her and she could already see her
future. He had accepted her kids, she had met
his son and he liked her.

She thought of introducing her son to Tefo,

what would that even say about her?

Lawrence hugged her as she cried.

“Baby what’s wrong?”

“I… I…”

“What? Who hurt you?”

She shook her head. “Nothing… you are perfect.

I don’t deserve you.”

Lawrence pulled her up and kissed her.

“You are the perfect one. I didn’t ever think you

could ever say yes to me. Just being with you
makes me so happy… I want to be with you
forever. I love you so so much. There’s nothing
more I want than you. You are all I have ever
wanted.”

She looked at him and sniffed. He kissed her

and smiled.

“Here is lunch.”

“Thank you.”

“You are ok now?”

She nodded. “Ng..” She kissed him putting her

hands on his chest. Her hands went down to his
pants then she unhooked his belt. She took out
his dic and stroked him.

Lawrence looked at her. “Babe-“

“I want you.”

She pulled up dress. Lawrence picked her up

and out her on her desk.

She pulled her panty to the side. He got closer

she rubbed himself on her and #removed.

Lawrence squeezed her waist pounding into her.

Osa held on to him moaning. Lawrence pressed
her clit, Osa spasmed throwing her head back.
Lawrence thrust into her a couple more times
then pulled up stroking himself, his seeds
spilling to the floor.
She looked at him and sighed reaching for
wipers and wiped herself. She got off the table
fixing her panty as he took the wiper and wiped
himself. Osa looked at him.

“You are so quiet during sex, why?”

Lawrence kissed her. “You want a

conversation?”

She shrugged. “Not exactly but to make any

sound. I never know if you are enjoying yourself
or not.”

“I don’t know how to do that. I’ve never been a

moaner. And I more than enjoy you.”
She smiled. “Ok.”

“And thank you for that. It was amazing. Let’s

do dinner tonight. My place or yours?”

“Yours is fine.”

He kissed her and walked out. Osa sat down

and put her hands on her face.

***

Later that day at First Offenders Prison, Tumo

looked at his lawyer.
“What do you mean Tefo’s car was found near
the border?”

“The police found it and that’s how they tried to

contact you. It was left on the side of the road,
keys in and blood in the boot.”

Tumo looked at him with a frown. “His blood?”

“They suspect it’s his but they not certain.”

“I had a bad dream last night but I thought it

was my demons following me around. What if
it’s him?”

The lawyer looked at him and sighed. “I don’t

know.”
***

At Mmagwe Momo’s house, Momo opened the

door and walked in. Her mother turned holding
Bonolo’s baby while the police sat on the other
couch.

“Momo! Where did to go?”

Momo’s begun racing. “I…”

“Where is Bonolo? I have called the police. If

she doesn’t come back they are going to arrest
her. She needs to come back. I know I said
things out of anger but I was never going to
abandon her. I know you were together. Where
is she? Tell the police!”
Momo started shaking. “I… she..”

“Talk!”

“I don’t know. She just disappeared…”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know where she went. She just… we

were together then she just disappeared. She
was talking about going to her mother in SA. I
don’t know where she went.”

The police officer looked at her.

“Come and sit down so you tell us everything
that happened.”

Momo slowly walked over trying not to appear

scared.

***

At the hospital, the truck driver yawned playing

video games on his phone. There was
movement by the bed. He looked over and
stood up as the man moved. He walked over.

“Hey..”

Tefo slowly opened his eyes and looked at the

stranger. The man smiled.
“Thank God! I thought I’d stay here for the night.
At least you are awake.”

Tefo moved his head and stopped at the pain.

“Shit… where am I?”

“The hospital. I’m Thuto, you are?”

“I..” He tried to talk but couldn’t seem to

remember his name. He blinked confused. A
nurse walked in.

“Oh.. he’s awake.”

Thuto smiled. “He just woke up.”

The nurse smiled. “Hi Natefo, welcome back.

I’m nurse Chedza, a nurse here.”

Tefo looked at her confused. “Who’s Natefo?”

The nurse looked at his confused face.

“What is the last thing you remember right

now?”

Tefo closed his eyes trying to remember but it

was all a blur.

He opened his eyes. She smiled. “It’s ok. You

are ok. Where did you grow up?”

“Maun.”

“Ok. And where did you school?”

“Maun Senior.”
“And varsity? Did you go?”

He nodded. “Yes.”

“And your name?”

Tefo looked at her as it hit him. “Tefo.”

She smiled. “I know you know yourself. It’s ok..

this gentleman brought you in today. We
suspect you were attacked and someone hit
your head.”

Tefo frowned. “Attacked?”

“Yes. I will go and call the doctor. Just relax.
You are ok.”

She walked out. Thuto smiled. “Welcome back

laitaka! If I didn’t get a running stomach I would
have never seen you lying in the bush looking
dead.”

Tefo nodded. “Thanks. Funny I don’t remember

being attacked. It’s all blurry.”

“It must concoction…kana gatweng, gone mo!”

Tefo chuckled. “I am Tefo.”

“Sure ntwana. You are going to be ok. You didn’t

have your phone with you but your wallet was
there. I think they called someone related to you
or something.”

The door opened then the doctor walked in.

Momo sat next to her mother.

“She called me crying yesterday so I went to her
house and she had given birth. When I arrived
she had already cleaned up and she said she
was scared. I told her she had no reason to but
she said she wanted to go to her grandmother.
We went home and left the baby then went to
the rank. She said she needed to use the
bathroom and she never came back. I looked
everywhere but I couldn’t find her.”

The police officer stared at her. “And what did

you do after?”

“I waited around then gave up and went to drink

alcohol.”

“Knowing she was missing?”

“Yes.”

The police noted it down. “Ok. Thank you. We

will be in touch. Don’t go anywhere.”

They both walked out. Mmagwe Momo looked

at her.

“How do you party knowing your cousin has ran

off?”

“What was I supposed to do? I tried to help her

but Bonolo is ungrateful.”

“We need to find her. What if she’s went to

commit suicide?”
“She will never commit suicide and I don’t care
what she does. She’s a witch!”

“Uhu?”

Momo walked to her bedroom and sat down.

She took off the South African sim card and put
hers thinking of ways to twist the story of
Tefo’s murder.

She went on Facebook as a notification came

through. She clicked it and opened the post one
of her friends has tagged her in.

“In a harrowing incident near the Tlokweng

Bordergate, a man named Natefo David was
brutally attacked and left for dead in the
surrounding bushes. The discovery of this grim
situation unfolded when David’s abandoned car
was found several hours earlier. It was only in
the late morning that a passerby stumbled upon
him, lying in the underbrush with his head
bloodied, indicating a savage assault the
previous evening.

David’s assailant appears to have used a

weapon, inflicting severe injuries upon him.
Fortunately, timely intervention and the
discovery by the Good Samaritan led to David’s
rescue. He is currently receiving medical
attention and on the path to recovery at the
Gaborone Private Hospital.

This unsettling incident serves as a stark

reminder of the importance of community
vigilance and swift response in the face of such
unfortunate events.”

Momo swallowed then our his hands on her

face crying in relief.

“Oh thank you God! Thank you! Thank you!”

She knelt down crying.

***
Amara completed reading the Facebook post
that confirmed the car belonged to Tefo and
that he was at GPH. Swiftly, she rose from her
seat, gathering her belongings when her phone
began to ring.

“Maya—”
“I saw the post; the car belongs to Tefo, Ama… I
understand you’re angry but please kea go
kopa—”

“I’m on my way there. He must have been

attacked after leaving my house. He had come
to collect a file, and he… I need to see him.”

“Alright.”

She hurriedly left, grateful that it was her half-

day. Amara rushed outside, calling an In-Drive
cab, her knees trembling with anxiety. The
thought that he might have been seriously
harmed terrified her beyond words.

Ten minutes later, she slid into the cab’s

backseat.

“GPH…”

The driver nodded and drove away.

Osa entered the grand boardroom at the bank,

carrying an air of confidence and authority that
never failed to captivate the shareholders. She
liked that feeling of being in control.

She began discussing the intricacies of a

recent financial strategy to the guys above her.
They always made her nervous but she flowed
through her presentation.
The meeting reached the end, and Osa skillfully
wrapped up her presentation, leaving the
shareholders thoroughly impressed. With a nod
of approval from the chairman, they filed out of
the room, still exchanging murmurs of praise.
She smiled alone jumping once they were out.

"Yes!"

Back in her office, Osa’s PA walked in with

worry. “I’m sorry to disturb you, Osa, ahh mma I
saw disturbing news on Facebook. Your
nephew...”

“Who?”

“The guy who was here yesterday.”

“What?”

Osa’s heart sank. “What happened?”

She hesitated then continued. “He was found

lying on the side of the road this morning, nearly
lifeless.”

She showed her the Facebook post. Osa blinked,

her heart skipping. She handed her PA back the
phone and she rushed out of her office, her
thoughts consumed by the realization that she
had been right to be worried about Tefo.

***
Amara barged into Tefo’s room at GPH, the
nurse turned to her after finishing administering
his medication. Overwhelmed by emotions, she
hurried to him, hugging him tightly with tears in
her eyes.

She gently cupped his face.“Are you well?”

He nodded replying, but couldn’t quite place her.

Not noticing his confusion, Amara sighed with
relief and gave him a kiss. “Thank the heavens!”

His eyes met hers, and a hesitant smile

surfaced as he tried to piece together their
connection. Probably a girlfriend. Or wife...She
wasn’t a bad choice. “Hey…”

She moved back sniffing. “I’m still angry, and

we will address your deceit. But I’m relieved
you’re safe. I rushed here as soon as I saw that
post. Ke batile go swa mo tsileng. I was so
stressed.”

A door opened followed by a woman walking in,

much prettier.
Osa rushed towards Tefo. “I’ve been sick with
worry Nate. I thought you might have returned
to your… usual ways but deep down, I knew
something was wrong.”

The nurse intervened reading the situation.

“He’s not well, he’s lost his memory, and he
doesn’t know you two. Let’s give him some
space.”

Osa turned her attention to Amara. “Hello.”

“Hi, I’m Amara, his girlfriend.”

Osa smiled kindly. “Pleasure to meet you.” She

turned to Tefo who looked at her even more
confused. She leaned closer whispering in his
ear, “You know where to find me when you’re
ready to step up, Tefo. But time isn’t on your
side, I am going to move on if you don’t man
up.”

Osa exited the room, Amara followed. “Who are

you to Tefo?”

“Ask Tefo.”

Osa walked out headed to her car.

In London…

In London Bonolo’s heart pounded as the plane

touched down at Heathrow Airport. Her palms
sweated as her eyes moved around nervously.

The plane finally came to a stop, she swallowed

nervously. She knew no one in the UK, had no
plan, and her future was uncertain.

The speaker announcement signaled the end of

the flight, and passengers began to gather their
belongings. Bonolo too her small backpack, the
only possession she had brought with her, and
took a deep breath.

ete#_=_
 Bonolo knew she had to stay calm, blend in,
and avoid drawing attention. She had watched
too many TV shows to know.

She hesitantly walked joining the stream of

passengers disembarking the plane. The cool
British air hit her face as she went down the
narrow corridor. The way the airport was so big
and vast overwhelmed her. It was a world away
from the dusty streets of Gaborone.

Inside the terminal, Bonolo walked to the

immigration counters with her passport in hand.
Sweat went down her spine to her underwear as
she got closer wondering if they would ask a lot
of questions.
She approached the counter with a smile then
handed her documents to the serious-faced
immigration officer.

Her heart raced until the officer stamped her

entry and handed back her passport without a
second glance.

Bonolo quickly made her to the security check

point a bit relieved. She took off her shoes
when placed her bag on the conveyor belt
before walking through the scanner

The security personnel remained disinterested

watching other passengers focused on their
routine.

She passer the security and found herself in the

bustling departure area. She searched for a
quiet corner, far from prying eyes. Her mind
raced trying to come up with a plan. She needed
a house, money. She sat on the empty bench
and opened her bag.

She took out her phone, it was late in the

evening but the lights inside made it look like
day light.

She needed to find temporary accommodation,

find work, and most importantly, erase any
trace of her presence in Botswana. She thought
of Tefo then swallowed. That hasn’t been on
purpose and now she was alone in a foreign
land, with a past she needed to bury and a
future that was blur in uncertainty.

She looked at other passengers, she had never

seen so many white people in one place before
and she could hardly hear what some were
saying as they spoke with an English accent.

She looked darker in contrast of white people.

Bonolo looked around as most arriving
passengers walked to their loved ones that
were waiting for them.

The cold breeze Inside the airport told her it

would be colder outside. She took out the jersey
she had bought and looked around.

An airport security member walked over to her

and smiled.

“Good evening mam, everything alright?”

She looked at him. “Huh?”

“Do you speak English?”

She listened carefully then nodded. “Yes. I do.

You are speaking too… fast.”

“Oh.. uh is everything ok?”

She swallowed coming up with a lie. “I am

waiting for someone.”

The security member looked at her suspiciously

then her small bag.

“Do you mind if you-“

“Hey! I’ve been looking for you, let’s go!”

Bonolo turned and looked at the white man. He

helped her stand. “Let’s go. Thank you.”

He pulled her out of the airport.

“You look like you are carrying drugs.”

“What?”

“I was sitting behind you in the plane. You were

acting suspicious. Are you carrying drugs?”

“No!”
They both walked in out of the airport. He raised
his hand stopping a cab then jumped in.

Bonolo looked at him. He turned to her.

“Are you going to stand there you are coming

with?”

“I don’t even know you, what if you are a

murderer?”

“Ok bye.”

He started closing the door. “You can drop me

off at an affordable motel or something.”
She got in. He looked at her and shook his head
as the cab sped off. She looked out through the
window watching the street lights.

“Where exactly are you-“

“I am looking for a job.”

He stared at her. “You came here to look for a

job?”

“Yes.”

He burst out laughing.

***
In Botswana, Amara looked at Tefo.

“So you don’t remember me? Who is that

woman?”

Tefo looked at her. “I don’t know.”

“I don’t like her vibe. I feel there is something

more. Even the way she was talking to you.”

“How long have we been dating?”

“5 months.” She held his hand sitting on his bed.

“You don’t remember her?”
The doctor walked inside followed by Tefo’s
lawyer behind. She looked at him then at Amara.

“Hi, I’m Natasha, his lawyer. I would like for a

moment with my client please.”

Amara nodded then kissed and walked out.

Natasha closed the door and looked at him.

“What you had was temporary memory loss

because of the attack. I went through your
results with the doctor and it’s not something to
worry about. By this point I have no doubt that
you do remember the people in your life if not
all and what happened to you.”

“Where is my son?”
“That’s more like it. Why are you still
pretending?”

“Osa was here.”

“And? What? You are confused on who to

choose? If I were you Tefo I’d focus on my
relationship with Amara. Your problem is that
you want to be everywhere. She makes you
better. I like her for you. I know you love Osa but
Amara is good for you. Focus on your
relationship with her and act right. Your baby
mama is missing.”

“I remember going to her… she was crying last

night and when I arrived there was blood on the
floor.. and the baby… is he dead? He wasn’t
moving. From there it’s a blur.”
“She attacked you. There’s no other explanation
around it. I don’t know how she carried you all
by herself but I suspect her sister helped her.
They thought you died so they throw tried to get
rid your body and leave your car. Her sister
helps her run off after they leave the baby with
her mother.”

“He is alive?”

“Yes.”

He sighed with relief. “I know she did

something… I don’t know what right now but I
will find her. She’s on the list now.”

“What list?”
Tefo smiled. “The police list.”

“It didn’t sound like it. Anyways, I got your

phone and your car. They are investigating what
happened.”

She handed him his phone and car keys. “You

will replace your sin card because it’s not in
there. Other than that, my receptionist will send
you the bill for all these running around I have
been doing for you.”

She walked out. Tefo put the confused look on

as Amara walked in. He could tell she had
questions. Tefo pulled her closer and kissed her
hands.
“I might not remember anything right now but I
can feel you are special to me.”

She looked at him and kissed him. “I love you. I

know I have been holding back because I know
just how unlucky I am in relationships. You not
telling me about the woman you impregnated
broke me. But I love you so much I don’t see
myself leaving. I know you don’t know what I
am talking about but…” She took a deep breath,
tears filling her eyes. Tefo sat upright and
hugged her.

“I am sorry. For whatever that I may done.

Shouldn’t we just start afresh?”

She giggled tearfully in his arms.

“We are still going to talk about it. I want to
meet her. Once you remember.”

Momo opened her messenger then looked at

Bonolo who was online. She sat properly
sending her a message.

Momo: I am going to the police to report you for

attempting to murder Tefo. I will probably do
one year for helping you. If you think no one will
find you in the UK, you are wrong. The police
will link with the UK police and you will be a
wanted person there. You are smart but not that
smart. They are going to return you in a box and
you will answer for your sins.

Bonolo replied.

Bonolo: Go ahead! Why are you announcing it? I

will not be going to jail and you can bet on it.
You on the other hand came and helped carry
his body, drove his car and helped dump him in
the bush. I am going to tell the police that you
attacked him because he wouldn’t choose you.
Tefo is not dead which is great, tota nna I can
always come back to settle with my man and
we can raise Junior together while you rot in jail
like an idiot. The choice is yours.

Momo started typing but Bonolo unsent her

message and blocked her.

Bonolo’s son started crying. Momo stood up

and walked to get mother’s room then picked
him up. She looked at him wanting to smash
him on the floor and pay for his mother’s sins.

Anger and hate filled her heart as she stared at

him. No one would ever know if she suffocated
him. He went quiet in the comfort of her arms.
Momo sighed and held him properly. He was so
innocent. And she wasn’t that evil. She walked
with him going to make his milk.

That same evening, Osa walked in her house

and froze as the lights came on. She looked at
the red and white balloons in the air and the
rose petals leading to the backyard.

“Lawrence!”
She followed the roses and stopped getting
outside and looked at him standing in his suit.
She laughed.

“What’s going on?”

He smiled and pressed his phone. Osa laughed

as Thinking out Loud begun playing.

“Come let’s dance.”

“I don’t know how-“

He pulled her and started moving with him

laughing.
“All this drama for dancing?”

“Why not? A man got to do what he’s got to do.”

He kissed her neck. “I missed you.”

She smiled putting her head on his shoulder.

“Lawrence… I…”

He released her. “What?”

She took a deep breath then turned trying to

find the words to use.

“I don’t want to live a life where I’m lying to

myself. A life where I’m just… settling because I
have no choice. I am sure you don’t want that
too. You are perfect. Beyond perfection. You
have everything but..” She turned. “I’m failing to
–“

She stopped talking looking at him on his knee

holding a ring.

Osa’s eyes wondered in shock. He smiled.

“If I could… I would have married you the day I

met you. I am in love with you. Beyond words.
And I want you forever. I want to spend the rest
of my life with you. Will you please do me the
honor and marry me?”

Osa swallowed. She looked at the ring then at

him.
“I was married before and-“

“I am not him. He hurt you but don’t let that

block you from finding your happiness. Don’t let
him take so much control of your life. This is
our chance to try this life thing together.”

Momo turned as her kids walked over taking

videos.

Her son smiled. “Say yes mama..”

She looked at both of them then at

Lawrence..saying no would disappoint her kids
and everyone else. Lawrence smiled.

“Say yes babe..”

Osa smiled and nodded. He skid the ring on her
finger then got up kissing her.

He hugged her. “I almost shit my pants.”

She laughed then started crying. She looked at

the ring again, her heart throbbing painfully.
Here she was saying yes to a marriage like the
first time.

Here she was yet again choosing to settle over

love. Her kids walked over and hugged her.

“Thank you guys.”

Her son smiled. “You are crying.”

“I’m just happy. I am so happy.”

She moved back running her tears and watched

as the kids showed Lawrence the videos they
had taken. Osa walked in her house going to the
bathroom. Her phone rang then she took it out.
She blinked tearfully picking.

“Hello?”

“Hey. It’s me. I’m sorry about earlier on. I

remember now. I remember everything expect
the incident surprisingly but it will come back to
me.”

“Tefo I am getting married.”

“What?”

“Lawrence proposed.”

“And you said yes?”

“He is stable. He is…what I have to be with.”

“And what do you want?”

Sge sniffed crying. “It doesn’t matter what I

want Tefo. It’s already done..”

“Do you even love him?”

“It doesn’t matter-“

“It does!”

“You have a girlfriend.”

“I can end it if you end that.”

“And what? Be together? Tomorrow you wake

and you don’t want me anymore –“

“Do you love me?”

“I am not leaving Lawrence for something that-“

“Do you love me?!”

“I do! I do! I love you. But I can’t leave and
disappoint my children and my family.”

“When will it ever be about you? When? When

will you ever just choose yourself? When?”

“I have to go.”

“Babe wait… I’m sorry. I am sorry. I know I

wasn’t the best but I can be if you –“

“Focus on that girl. She’s good for you. Things

are already complicated. I am choosing him.”

“I will end it I promise.”

“I won’t choose you still. It’s already done. Let’s
not ever talk.”

“Please.”

“I love you but ours can never be accepted.

Bye.”

She dropped the call then wiped her tears and

walked out smiling.

***

The following morning, Tefo walked to the

parking lot to his car after getting discharged.
He got in his car and drove headed to Momo’s
mother’s house. He parked at the gate then
stepped out and walked in the house. Tefo
knocked on the door.

Momo opened holding a bottle of the baby’s

milk. She swallowed.

“Tefo..”

“Nka tsena?”

She nodded and moved from the door. He

walked to his son and smiled. He picked him up.

“He’s alive..”

“I am sorry. It’s ok if you want to report me to

the police but I thought you were really dead.
She attacked you and called me..I found you
lying on the floor like you were dead. I just
wanted to help my sister. I didn’t know she’d
abandon me and run off to UK.”

Tefo put the baby down and turned to her. “So

you helped her?”

Momo tearfully looked at him. “I just wanted to

help my sister Tefo. I have some wanted to help
her. I didn’t know I was helping a shake. She
even stole your money. 50k.”

Tefo nodded and walked over to her. “I know.

When I saw that money had been transferred
into her account I suspected right away that she
did it.”
“I am sorry.”

“Don’t be. Tell your sister her day will come.

When it comes she will wish she had really just
killed me.”

Momo swallowed.

“She ran away.”

“You can’t run forever. I will find her. Trust me I

will find her. I am taking my son with this
weekend. I will be paying bride price for him and
taking him.”

“Do you need help?”

“No.”

Tefo kissed his son one last time and walked

out. He called Amara getting in the car.

“I managed to see my son. I remember Amara

and I remember what happened between us. I
am taking my son and he will be living with me.
If you can’t handle it feel free to walk away but
don’t pretend to accept him to hate him in the
future because if you try it…I will hurt you.”

***

In UK, Bonolo stared at the man who had helped

her the previous night. She sat by his couch
where she had slept.
“What do you mean the money I have is not
enough? I have over 20k!”

“In Pulas. We are not in your country here. You

have nothing! This is Britain and let me tell you
something, it’s expensive so if I were you I’d go
back home because if you stay you will
understand that sleeping under a bridge is not
by choice.”

Bonolo blinked. “I am not going back. Help me

look for a job so that I can apply for a work
permit. You are British?”

Gavin shook his head. “No. American. What

exactly are you running from?”

She looked at him. “I hit my ex in the head and

thought he died so I ran off..”

Gavin looked at him for a moment then laughed.

“You what?”

“Yes.”

He looked at her serious face. “You attempted

to unalive someone?”

“It was by mistake.”

*So how long do you think you will run for?”

“I am never going back. I am starting afresh. I

want to change my identity too.”

“You will go to jail to that. Let’s stick to one

crime. So he’s not dead? You sure?”
“Yes..”

Gavin sighed. “There is a bar downstairs. They

need a waiter. I need you out as soon as
yesterday. Who knows what you are capable of.
There is also a room down there. It’s tiny and
leads to the trash but seeing you have no where
to stay, you should be fine.”

“And a work visa?”

“You need to be employed then you will apply

for one. Let’s start by getting you a job. Maybe
two jobs.”

“Thank you.”
“After that I don’t know you. You don’t know me.
Just in case they come after you.”

“Deal.”

“I can’t believe you are a murderer.”

“He didn’t die. “

“Who knows what else you did.”

“It was only that one incident.”

“Who knows what else you can do?”

“You are being dramatic.”

“Says a murderer!”

He stood up and walked to his bathroom.

Bonolo laid down looked at his white coat and
the stethoscope.

“You are a doctor?”

“A student!”

She closed her eyes then took her phone and

thoughtfully deactivated her social media
accounts. She created new accounts then
searched for Tefo but his account was private.
She put down her phone.
If this was the fresh start she needed then she
was going to grab it with both hands. She
thought of her son. Tears filled her eyes. He
was better off with out her.

Gavin walked out. “Do you have kids?”

“No.”

H nodded and walked back to the bathroom

holding his shirt gel. Bonolo deleted the few
pictures she had taken of him.

In Gaborone, Tumo sat in court for his trial. He

looked behind him and cameras flashed at him.
He turned. Someone walked in then he turned
again, his eyes falling on Tefo. He smiled
happily, his eyes lighting up. Tefo sat down and
looked forward. The judge walked in minutes
later as the new lawyer Tumo’s lawyer had
gotten prepared to take the stand.
They all sat down as their court case number git
called out and presented to the judge. The
judge looked at Tumo ‘s lawyer then Tumo.

“Order in the court. The court is now in session.

Will the defendant, Tumo David, please rise.”

Tumo stood up.

“Mr. David, you stand before this court today,

accused of a grave crime. You have the right to
consult with your lawyer. However, I must ask
you, how do you plead to the charges brought
against you?”

Tumo took a deep breath, his voice trembling

as he spoke.
“I plead… not guilty by reason of insanity._

People murmured between themselves.

“You may seat.” The lawyer looked at Tumo’a

lawyer. “You may proceed.”

She stood up. “Your honor we have gathered

here to unveil a haunting tale of a mind
besieged by demons beyond its control. A tale
that delves into the depths of one man’s
tortured soul. A tale of tragedy and affliction. In
the darkest recesses of the human mind, we
often encounter shadows we cannot
comprehend. Shadows that morph reality into a
nightmarish realm. The accused, Tumo David,
stands before you, not just as a man on trial for
a heinous crime but as a victim of an insidious
affliction: schizophrenia.”
She walked towards the judge and stood feet
away and turned to the prosecutor.

“Schizophrenia, an illness that ravages the very

fabric of one’s reality, a relentless tormentor
that coerces its victims into a distorted world of
hallucinations and delusions. Tumo, despite his
appearance and demeanor, was not the
mastermind of his actions on that fateful night.
Instead, he was a puppet, manipulated by the
cruel strings of this debilitating mental disorder.
We will provide compelling evidence that will
take you into the labyrinth of Tumo’s mind,
where the boundaries between right and wrong
blur into an incomprehensible abyss. We will
show you the torment he endured, the inner
chaos that led to the tragic events of that
evening.”
She carried on.

“As we embark on this journey, I implore you to

keep an open heart and an open mind. The
accused is not a cold-blooded criminal, but a
man ensnared by forces beyond his control.
Justice in this case requires us to look beyond
the surface and explore the depths of human
suffering. If the court allows, we would like to
call in our first witness, Dr Modiri, a well
reputable psychiatrist.”

Tefo watched as the doctor walked in. He

looked at Tumo what had lost so much weight.
His complexion was dark and his hair had
grown.
It didn’t look like him. The job turned to him
again and smiled tearfully. Tefo looked away.
Tumo turned back to the judge as the witness
walked through.
***

Tefo walked out of the court after the first

session. He walked to his car and jumped in. He
opened his Facebook and Osa had posted
pictures of her engagement. Tefo took a deep
breath. There was no point in trying to get her
back.

His phone rang.

“Yah?”

“Tefo, it’s Lawrence. Osa and I are throwing a

mini braai to celebrate our engagement. I was
thinking maybe you can come and join us.”

Tefo frowned, maybe this was the perfect time

to tell him the truth.

“Congrats but unfortunately in a father to a new

born baby. I won’t be able to come but have fun.
Take care of her. She’s a good woman.”

“Yeah I know… she’s in good hands.”

Tefo hung up and drove off headed to his office

calling his uncle.

“Tefo…”
“I have some money in my savings account. I
will send it so we go to Bonolo’s family this
weekend”

*I still can’t believe that sweet girl is the one

that turned to be this person.”

“I don’t want to think about that right now.”

“Your father would be proud of you Tefo. I hope

you don’t let all this Change who you are. I hear
your brother’s case is going to take a month?”

“If all goes well. From the looks of it he may get

away with it. They may sentence him to a
mental institution. After he murdered his own
mother for money.”
“Tefo-“

“He killed her for money. He’s not even sorry.”

“I know you are hurting but it’s time to move on

from that Tefo.”

“I have to go to work. I will send the money.”

He hung up and sighed driving.

Tefo walked in opulent conference room in the

morning, he swallowed looking at the well
dressed business men and women seated on
the long wooden table talking between
themselves. He recognized most of them,
Miguel from Sky Hotels and Mokwena
Transport And Logistics. Boemo who had
opened the biggest amusement parks, Rapula
with the airline now though most believed his
wife was the front face of the business, well
known series killer though she had gotten away
with it. He also recognized Bantu from the
investment bank. He noticed a few more big
names in Botswana all seated on the table
including two ministers, the atmosphere exuded
an air of sophistication and power.

Tefo stood at the head of the table, a large

projection screen behind him displaying the
logo of his transport and logistics company, the
rebranding was going well. He looked at
“TefoTrans.” behind him and turned back to
them as they all watched him with keen interest.
Tefo confidently spoke like he had done it
before.

“Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed Ministers,

thank you for joining me today. I am honored to
present to you TefoTrans, a company poised to
revolutionize the transport and logistics
industry in Botswana.”

His PA took a deep breath working on the

laptop accompanying her boss’s presentation
with a slideshow showcasing the company’s
modern trucks, the advanced warehousing
facilities they had just gotten and a map
highlighting the extensive network of routes
across the country.
Tefo continued. “TefoTrans was founded on the
principles of efficiency, reliability, and
innovation. Our fleet of vehicles is equipped
with state-of-the-art tracking systems, ensuring
real-time visibility and security for our clients’
cargo.”

The client partnerships slide appeared on the

screen, the next slide being of Tefo shaking
hands with representatives from major clients
from various industries.

H enthusiastically spoke. “We have forged

strong partnerships with some of the biggest
players in Botswana’s economy. From the
moment cargo leaves the loading bay to its
safe and timely delivery, we provide end-to-end
solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.”
His PA clicked to the next slide of technology
innovation highlighting TefoTrans cutting edge
technology including sophisticated logistics
management software.

He moved around passionately speaking.

“Our commitment to innovation sets us apart.

Our logistics software optimizes routes,
reduces fuel consumption, and minimizes
environmental impact. We believe in
sustainable growth.”

One of ministers nodded engaged.

“Impressive, Mr. David. Botswana’s logistics

industry could benefit greatly from such
advancements.”
Tefo nodded gratefully. “Thank you, Minister.
We envision TefoTrans as a key player in the
nation’s growth, not just as a business but as a
contributor to a more connected and
prosperous Botswana.”

The next slide was the expansion plans. The

screen revealed the future routes and the
construction of a state of the art logistics hub.

Tefo spoke with eviction. “Our journey is just

beginning. We have plans for expanding our
operations, connecting Botswana even more
closely with the global market. We aim to make
Botswana a logistics hub for the entire
Southern African region.”
Miguel from Sky Hotels smiled. “When I started
my logistics company, I didn’t envision all this
tlhe monna, yaanong o kare ke dira dilo disele
yaanong.”

Tefo laughed. “Actually seeing a motswana

man like yourself do it encouraged me to
believing I also could do it.”

The other minister smiled.

“Mr. David, your vision aligns with our goals for

the nation’s economic development. We
welcome such initiatives with open arms.

“Thank you, sir. With your support and guidance,

TefoTrans will become a beacon of progress in
Botswana.”
As Tefo concluded his presentation.

Bantu who owned an investment bank raised an

eyebrow.

“Mr. David, while your presentation was

impressive, the logistics industry is highly
competitive. What makes TefoTrans stand out
from the existing players?”

He smiled confidently. “An excellent question.

TefoTrans stands out through a combination of
cutting-edge technology, an unwavering
commitment to our clients, and our dedication
to sustainable practices. Our logistics software
optimizes routes in real-time, ensuring timely
deliveries and cost efficiency. But what truly
sets us apart is our personalized approach. We
work closely with our clients to understand their
unique needs, offering tailored solutions that
create lasting partnerships.”

Boemo from the amusement park nodded then

started taking.

“You mentioned expansion plans, including

becoming a logistics hub for the region. What
challenges do you foresee in achieving such an
ambitious goal?”

“Expansion is a complex endeavor, but we’re

well-prepared. Our foremost challenge will be
infrastructure development, including the
construction of our logistics hub. We’re in
discussions with potential investors and
government bodies to facilitate this.
Additionally, building strong relationships with
neighboring countries’ transport authorities will
be crucial to navigate cross-border logistics
seamlessly. We’re committed to overcoming
these challenges to make Botswana a regional
logistics powerhouse.”

The first minister raised his hand. “Mr David,

how do you plan to ensure the security of
valuable cargo, especially in the face of
potential theft or damage?

“Security is a top priority for TefoTrans. All our

vehicles are equipped with advanced tracking
systems and security measures. We maintain a
24/7 monitoring center to respond swiftly to
any security incidents. Furthermore, we invest
in continuous training for our personnel to
ensure they adhere to strict security protocols.
Rest assured, our clients’ cargo is in safe
hands.”

The minister of transport smiled very

impressed.

“Your vision for Botswana’s logistics future is

inspiring. What support do you require from the
government to turn this vision into reality?”

“Thank you, Minister. To realize this vision, we

would greatly appreciate government support in
several key areas. Firstly, expedited permitting
and regulatory processes to facilitate our
expansion plans. Secondly, assistance in
accessing financing opportunities, especially
for the construction of our logistics hub. Lastly,
collaboration in streamlining cross-border
logistics with neighboring countries to enhance
regional trade. With your support, Minister, we
can elevate Botswana’s logistics sector.”

Bantu smiled at how thorough he was with his

answers. But she needed to know if he was
worth investing in.

“Mr. Tefo, it’s clear that you have a vision, but

the logistics industry is known for its
unpredictability. How do you plan to adapt to
unforeseen challenges such as fuel price
fluctuations and global supply chain
disruptions?”

He locked eyes with her and smiled. She

shrugged waiting.

“A valid concern, and thank you for raising it. In

the logistics industry, adaptability is key. We’ve
built flexibility into our operations by
maintaining strategic partnerships with fuel
suppliers, allowing us to negotiate stable
pricing. Additionally, our advanced logistics
software not only optimizes routes but also has
predictive analytics capabilities. This means we
can anticipate potential disruptions and adjust
our strategies accordingly. We view challenges
as opportunities for innovation, and we’re
committed to delivering consistent service,
even in the face of uncertainty.”

Raoula laughed. “O ta le bolaa Tefo! (Tefo will

y’all)”

Boemo laughed too. “Di heletsi di putso mister

mene. Bonang Miguel, wa go tswala company!
(The questions are finished. Miguel is going to
close his company.)”

They all laughed. Miguel looked at Boemo

laughing. “Mister tswa mogo nna! Nna I’m with
Tefo, we are going to do a collab Tefo.”

Tefo smiled. “TefoTrans will be looking forward

to it.”

The minister of youth laughed then smiled.

“Your thorough and strategic approach to these

challenges is commendable. I believe we
should explore opportunities for collaboration.
TefoTrans aligns well with our goals for
economic development and regional integration.
“Thank you, Minister. We are eager to work
closely with the government and esteemed
business leaders to make this vision a reality.
Together, we can shape the future of
Botswana’s logistics industry.”

With a round of applause and nods of

agreement, the room buzzed with newfound
enthusiasm for TefoTrans and its ambitious
plans. Tefo smiled as his PA stood up clapping
her hands. They all stood up clapping.

“Thank you.”

Bantu smiled. “You have my money.”

“Danko!”
She shook his hand and walked out together
with the ministers. Boemo walked over.

“O seka wa dira corruption laitaka, go maswe

konte.”

Miguel laughed. “Kana I forgot, gatwe rre o-“

Boemo pushed him laughing. Rapula bumped

shoulders with him.

“Well done! This is impressive. I’m definitely in.”

Boemo looked at him. “Ya lapeng wena o ye go

consulta wifey. O bata gore kgolega! (Go home
and consult your wife. You want to land us in
trouble.)”
Miguel bended laughing. Rapula hit Boemo’s
head and walked out laughing. Boemo smiled.

“Good job Tefo! We will talk later.”

Miguel bumped shoulders with Tefo. “Me too.

You are brilliant.”

“Thank you.”

Everyone walked out. Tefo laughed happily. His

PA jumped. “You were so good. I can’t wait to
tell everyone just how good you were. You were
born for this!”

“Thanks Nicole.”
His phone rang. He walked out picking.

“Nana..”

“And?”

“They loved it.”

Amara screamed happily. “Yes! Yes! Oh God

Tefo this is a start.”

“I know. Fuck I’m so happy.”

“Me too. So proud of you. Where are you?”

“About to head to the office.”

“I am coming. You deserve a congratulations

treatment.”

Tefo smiled. “I’d love that.”

***

The courtroom was tense, with spectators and

journalists silence in anticipation. Tumo sat at
the defense table anxiously. His lawyers stood
nearby.

Judge Molapo sighed looking at Tumo.

“After a thorough examination of the evidence

and expert testimony, this court acknowledges
that Mr. Tumo David suffers from
schizophrenia, a severe and debilitating mental
illness. It is clear that at the time of the alleged
crime, Mr. David was not in control of his
actions.”

Tumo almost sighed with relief but then it

wasn’t over.

The judge carried on. “Therefore, this court

finds Mr. Tumo David guilty of the charges
brought against him—murder if his wife,
Amogelang David.”

Tumo swallowed.

The judge continued talking. “Due to his

diagnosed schizophrenia and his inability to
fully comprehend the consequences of his
actions, I hereby order that he be committed to
a secure mental health institution for a period
of not less than two years and not more than
three years.”

Tumo’s defense lawyers nodded, accepting the

judge’s decision, while the prosecuting attorney
remained silent.

“It is my hope that during this time, Mr. David

will receive the treatment and care he needs to
manage his illness. The court also strongly
recommends ongoing psychiatric evaluation
and therapy. This decision is made with the
best interests of both justice and Mr. David’s
mental health in mind. On the second count of
murder, this court finds him not guilty as the
state failed to provide enough evidence that
prove that Mr. David did indeed kill his alleged
daughter. This court is dismissed.”

The judge walked out.

Tumo’s lawyer turned to him and smiled. “We

did it!”

Mmagwe Amo screamed. “O mmolayi!” she

screamed angrily as the prison guards walked
with Tumo outside.

At Tefo’s office, Tefo walked inside talking to

his uncle.

“I am going to collect my son later on. I have

already got someone who’s starting today. I will
meet her later on.”

“Ok. That’s good. I hope it’s someone who’s

very good with kids.”
“She has good experience with kids. She used
to be a nursery school teacher. Ene o sharp
hela.”

“O nyala leng?”

“Malome wee ema pele. Let me get stable first

before I think of marrying anyone.”

“Amara is a good woman.”

“Yeah..”

“And it’s difficult to have a good woman come

by easily. You need to cherish her and treat her
right.”

“I know.”

“Good. What is the police saying about Bonolo?”

“I want them to let the issue go. I will handle

Bonolo on my own. Let her think she got away
with it. She is the least of my worries right now.
Unless she finds a man to sleep who will take
care of her, she will come back.”
“Ok. We will talk. I have to go.”

He hung up then Tefo looked at the incoming

call and smiled picking.

“I thought you’d never talk to me again.”

“I wanted to say congratulations.”

Her voice had her smiling. “For?”

“Did you read the newspaper today? You are

front page.”

Tefo chuckled. “I haven’t read but thanks.”

Osa sighed. “You are doing amazing.”

“Where are you?”

“Ko officing.”

“Can I see you?”

“Tefo-“

“Please.”

“He is paying my bride price tomorrow.”

“So?”
“I… you need to understand that-“

“That you are just settling for the sake of

settling? That you are marrying him to please
people? I understand that perfectly. If that’s
what you want I won’t stop you babe… if that’s
the kind of life you want I will not stop you. I just
want to see you.”

“I don’t want you to confuse me.”

Tefo hung up. He thoughtfully got up and

walked out. Amara stepped out of the cab as he
stepped out of the building. She smiled and
rushed over then hugged him.

“I am so proud of you!”
Tefo hugged her and kissed her. “Thank you.
You need to get a license.”

She smiled. “Ok. Where to?”

“I am going to collect the nanny. It won’t take

long. You will wait for me? Please.”

“Can’t I come with?”

“Then I won’t come back to the office and I have

a lot to do.” He kissed her hard. “Nkemele.”

He hurried to his car and drove off. He needed

something bigger now, maybe after getting a
few of those deals and making a bit of profit he
could get a loan and get something nicer.
Some of his employees drove better cars than
him. His lawyer was right about looking the part.

***

Osa looked out through the window in her office

lost in her thoughts. She looked at her
engagement ring and took a deep breath.

Her door opened then her PA walked with Tefo

behind her.

“Your nephew is here.”

Osa looked over and stood up. The PA walked

out closing the door. Tefo turned the key
locking it.

“I thought we would discuss our family

matters.”

“Where is Amara –“

“She is not your business. I’m not here to

discuss her or your boyfriend.”

Tefo walked over. Osa moved back almost

falling. Tefo picked her up kissing her.

She wrapped her legs around him kissing him

back. He walked with her to her couch and laid
her down then unzipped her dress and took it
off.
Osa touched his chest.

“Nate wait… I-“

“Don’t stop me.. I’m not leaving without fucking

you.”

Tefo unclipped her bra kissing her then took it

off and squeezed her breast. He moved his
mouth down to her nipples.

Osa closed her eyes as her panty got wetter.

She caressed his head moaning as he sucked
on her nipples hard.

She curled her toes, her p*ssy responding. He

moved further down and pulled out her thong
then hurried his head in between her legs
parting her p*ssy lips with his tongue.

Tefo rolled his tongue down her wedding slit

and gently muffed her taking his time. Osa
looked at him squeezing her breast curling her
toes. The sound proof in her office making her
comfortable as she enjoyed his mouth on her.

Her legs shook as she spasmed. Tefo went

back to her lips and kissed her as she took off
his jacket then unbuttoned his shirt. Tefo took it
off.

Osa touched his bare skin , her hands going

down to his pants. She undid the zip and took it
out. It sprung out, hard and dripping with
precum.
Tefo grunted as she stroked him then hugged
her leg curving his back and pushed through
grunting.

Her p*ssy opened welcoming him. He went

further in as she shifted around trying to adjust.

He closed his eyes deep inside tearfully. “I love

you.”

Osa held on to him then he started pounding

into her. Each thrust rubbing that itch deep
inside. The discomfort wore off the more he
gave her the slow deep strokes.

His mouth found hers. Osa kissed him rubbing

his back taking that dic like a big girl. Every
thrust felt like heaven.

“You feel amazing baby..”

Osa moaned in response. That deep voice in

her ear sending her closer.

Tefo pushed both her legs the her chest and

pounded into , her walls narrowing on him,
hugging him tighter and tighter. Tefo let of her
legs lifting her waist a bit going deeper.

Osa closed her eyes as he went deeper hitting a

certain spot in her.

“Nate… ahhh… mhmmm..”

“Look at me..”

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him

as her body at stiffened.

The pleasure intensified. Osa looked at his dic

going in and out then at him.

“God I love you! I love you! Ahhhh!”

Tefo went harder fucking her. Her entire body

vibrated as she came hard. Tefo grunted.

“Fuck! You feel ahhh…”

He went deeper and stilled, his dic jerking as he

offloaded his seeds inside her. Tears filled her
eyes. He kissed her.

“It’s ok.”

She hugged him crying. “I am sorry.”

Tefo silently held her then finally slid out and

laid next to her.

She put her head on his chest as he caressed

her back.

She looked up at him. “Nate..”

Tefo rubbed off her tear and kissed her. “I

understand. Let’s just enjoy this moment then
go back to reality.”
“I love you too.”

He chuckled then smiled. “I know.”

He ran his fingers in her hair. She smiled. “You

should get bigger offices. At the rate your
business is growing at, you are going to need
something far much bigger.”

“I know. I’ve started looking. I didn’t expect

things to move so fast. I thought it would take a
couple of years.”

“A good business grows fast. You just need to

maintain it.”
“Yeah…”

“Where is your son?”

“I was advised to leave him with Bonolo’s aunt

for a couple of weeks. I’m collecting him today.
I still can’t believe I’m a father.”

“You will make a food father Nate.”

“I will try.”

She laid in his arms relaxing and closed her

eyes. Tefo looked at her a few minutes later
and she had fallen asleep. He kissed her
forehead loving how her soft warm body felt on
his.
“Baby.. wake up. I have to go.”

He squeezed her butt and moved getting up.

She slowly opened her eyes.

“You are going?”

“I have to.”

He fixed his pants then picked his shirt. Osa got

up.

“Can’t we just-“

“Continue fooling around? No. It’s either this..

me or him. You can’t have us both. I’m not
going to be your side thing.”

He finished buttoning his shirt and tucked it in.

Osa watched as he finished dressing.

“I love you. I will probably always do. Good luck

on your marriage. I hope it works out.”

He kissed her then let go and walked out.

Amara looked at the time in Tefo’s office then

called him again.

“Hey.. “

“Aoww rra, it’s now over an hour and thirty

minutes.”

“I am sorry. Should I bring you lunch?”

“Yes.”
“Ok.”

He hung up then she sighed looking around.

Minutes later his PA walked in.

“Uh Mr. David just called, what would you like to

have for lunch?”

“Anything is fine.”

“Ok.”

She walked out.

At Bus Rank, Tefo spoke on his phone.

“I’m parked near the buses. A black run x.”

“Uh…oh I see it.”

“Ok.”

Tefo waited then looked at his rearview mirror.

Someone knocked on the passenger window.
Tefo turned and looked at the young woman by
the door carrying a big bag. He stepped out of
the car and looked at her.

“Arefa?”

She nodded looking at him and nodded. “Eerra.”

“I’m Tefo. Nice to meet you.”

He stretched his hand to greet her. Arefa went

down a bit shaking his head respectfully.
“Dumelang.”

“You don’t have to..” He sighed then smiled.

“Let me put your bag in the boot. You are
coming from?”

“Rakops.”
Tefo put her bag in the car then jumped in.
Arefa opened the backseat. Tefo looked at her.

“This side.”

“I can sit here if-“

“No this side.”

She nodded then closed the door and got in at

the front seat. She put on the seatbelt as he
drove off.

“Did they tell what you will be doing?”

“Eerra, taking care of your new born son.”

“Yeah. You don’t need to do house chores. I am

going to get someone for that. Your main
responsibility is him. I have cameras in the
house so don’t think you are going to do funny
stuff and I won’t know. I will know and what I
will do to you won’t be nice.”

“I understand. I don’t abuse children. I worked

at a preschool with toddlers and I have helped
raise my siblings so you have nothing to worry
about. I am a fast learner so should I not be
doing something the way you want it done, you
can tell me and I will learn”

He looked at her and smiled. “Ok. Good.”

She smiled then chuckled. “New father?”

“Yes.”

“You have nothing to worry about.”

“Why did you leave your job?”

“My mother got sick and I had to go home and

help take care of her. She passed on two
months ago and now I have to find ways to help
feed the family.”

“How old are your siblings?”

“11 and 15. They have remained home with my

grand parents..”
Tefo parked at his house minutes later and
walked inside with her carrying her bag.

“This is it. I will get a bigger house in a few

months but for now we will be here. This is the
sitting room, the kitchen.” He walked with her
then opened the guest room.

“You will be in this room. I prepared the room

also for the baby but I can always sleep with
him.”

She smiled. “Eerra. I will tidy it up.”

“Isn’t it clean? I tried to clean it up.”

Arefa laughed. “I will just tidy it up for the baby.”

“Refa wareng nemma? Go leswe?”

“A bit.”

“Ok… the cleaning stuff are in the bathroom. I

am going to lock you inside… just in case.”

“In case I try to rob you?”

He laughed. “Something like that. Is that ok with

you?”

“It’s ok..I don’t know anyone in Gaborone to say

I will rob you are run off. Whatever makes you
comfortable.”
“Ok.”

Tefo walked out leaving the door unlocked then

jumped in his car and drove to the gate where
he quick briefed the security guard before
driving off.

***

Osa finished her last meeting with her team

then got up and walked out from the board
room. One of her subordinates walked over.

“Osa.. are you ok?”

“Hey, yeah why?”

“You seem bothered..”

“I’m ok.”

“You know you can talk to me right?”

Osa nodded. “Yes. Thanks. I’m ok.”

She walked to her office and closed the door

behind her. She picked her phone and called her
father.

“Angel..”

Osa smiled. “Papa..”

“I just finished up fixing the fence. Tomorrow
when your in-laws come you won’t be
embarrassed.”

Osa laughed. “I will never be embarrassed of

home.”

“How are you?”

“I…”

“Nervous?”

“Scared.”
“Why?”

“I think I’m making a mistake. I know I am lucky

to have found someone like Lawrence and he’s
amazing.”

“But?”

“What if the heart wants someone else?”

“You don’t love him?”

“I don’t know. I do but I love someone else more

He’s not like Lawrence but he makes me happy.
I can’t explain how I feel when I’m with him. I
feel… young and silly.”
“Why are not following your heart then?”

“Because no one will ever accept him. And

Lawrence is a good man. And the kids love
him..you love him.”

“I love him because I thought you loved him. I

want what makes you happy. You are too old to
be… settling. See where that ended you the last
time? You need to choose yourself sometimes
Osa. You can’t make decisions that please us
when you are not happy. Someone may be good
but if you don’t love him then it’s all worthless.
It’s also not fair on Lawrence. He’s always
going to be second best. I am sorry I never
taught you to choose yourself. I am sorry I
never taught you to out yourself first but if
there’s anytime to put yourself first then it’s
now! Make up your mind. Tomorrow morning at
4 you will tell me what you have chosen-“

“He is 28!”

“So?”

“People are going to say-“

“If people say you should die, you will kill

yourself?”

“No I-“

“Tomorrow at 4!”

He hung up. Osa took a deep breath. She

stared at her phone then picked it up and called
Tefo.

***

Tefo picked stepping out of his car.

“Babe..”

“Hi.”

He smiled. “I miss you too.”

“Then marry me.”

“What?”
“Marry me. Be the one to marry me tomorrow.
At 4.”

“Osa baby are you ok?”

“I will lend you the money if you don’t have any.

Marry me Tefo. Marry me before he does. If you
truly love me, marry me. Choose me. I will be at
home in Mochudi. My father and our family will
wait. If you don’t show up then I will know
where we stand.”

“Are you-“

She hung up then sent a message.

Osa: Tomorrow at 4a.m.”

Later that day, Amara looked at Tefo as he

drove to her house.

“What’s wrong?”
“With?”

“You wouldn’t let me touch you earlier on.”

“I had a meeting that needed my attention.”

“Ok. Then let’s go to your house.”

“I need to pick up my son.”

“I know. Drop me off at your house. I will start

making dinner. Tefo you are not ok. We should

He sighed then changed routes driving to his

house. Tefo parked inside and walked inside
with her.

He could smell the delicious aroma

immediately as Arefa fried in the kitchen.

Arefa put down the heat then walked to the

sitting room smiling. “Hi. I started cooking. I
hope that’s ok.”

“Yeah thanks. It smells nice.”

“Just an old recipe.”

Amara looked at her silently then sighed. Tefo

turned to her.

“This Arefa, TJ’s nanny. Refa this is Amara. My

girlfriend.”

Arefa smiled. “Nice meeting you.”

Amara nodded then turned to Tefo.

“You can go and collect him. I will make sure

everything is ready for him.”
Arefa smiled. “I already did that.”

Tefo smiled. “Perfect..I’m coming.”

He walked out. Amara looked at Refa.

“Is cooking part of your job description?”

Refa smiled. “Tefo said-“

“Rragwe Junior. Kana where you were raised

you were taught to address your bosses with
their names?”

“No. Uh rragwe Junior said my main duty is

Junior but I can still cook and help maintain the
house since I stay here.”
“Your job is Junior and that’s what you should
focus on. There is no need to cook if he didn’t
ask you to.”

Refa nodded. “Eemma. I’m sorry.”

“I hope you don’t think I’m being rude or

anything. But sometimes you need to stick to
your job description.”

“Eemma.”

Amara looked at her shorts and vest. “And also

try to be appropriate. Tefo is a man and he
obviously won’t say anything but you need to
dress appropriately. Those shorts are showing
everything or maybe you need uniform. There’s
a dress code at every job. You can’t wear tiny
shirts and vests in a work of employment. You
don’t even have a bra on yet you can see your
breast need a bra.”

Refa looked down shamefully.

“Dress properly. Please go and change. Wear

something appropriate. You are here for an
infant not to dress as if it’s your house.”

“Eemma.”

Refa walked to the guest room where she

undressed and wore a long dress then walked
back to the kitchen to finish up but Amara had
already taken over the pots. She walked back to
the room and sat down.
***

Tefo smiled as Bonolo’s aunt handed him the

baby.

“There you go. Don’t be scared to ask for help if

you need it.”

“Thank you.”

“Let me get the rest of his bags.” She walked to

her room.

The door opened then Momo walked in wearing

her uniform from the baking classes. Tefo
looked at her then she smiled.
“Hi.”

He chuckled. “Back at school?”

She laughed. “Yes. I’m going to make cakes.”

“I am happy for you.”

“You are taking him?”

“Yeah, I will try and bring him by on weekends.”

“Thank you.”

“When is the police arresting you?”

Momo laughed. “I don’t know. The lawyer said I
might do a few months.”

“Your cousin could have killed me..le baloyi

lona.”

She laughed. “I regret most of my decisions

when it comes to you. Thank you for not hating
me.” She smiled. “I know we are over but
sometimes I wonder where we could have been
if I didn’t get influenced.”

“I don’t think we were meant to be but where’s

your rich boyfriend?”

“Relocated to Maun.”
Mmagwe Momo walked back with the bags.

“Here we go.”

Tefo got up holding his son then took the bags.

He smiled taking them.

“Thank you so much.”

Mmagwe Momo looked at her. “Help him to the

car Momo.”

She put her bags down and followed him

outside. Tefo put his son on the baby seat then
took the bags from Momo.
“Bye. Thank you.”

Momo looked at him and smiled moving back.

“Bye.”

She watched as he got in his car and drove off.

Momo took a deep breath. If only she had been
patient.

***

Tefo walked in his house a while later holding

his son. Amara smiled.

“Hey…”

“Here he is.”
She walked over and looked at him. She smiled.

“He is cute. He doesn’t have your complexion.”

“Yeah… he’s mine.”

He smiled looking at him. TJ looked at him

blinking. Tefo smiled even more.

“Should I dish for you?”

“Yeah… where is Refa so she can dish her food.”

“In her room.”

“You can call her.”

“I will dish, it’s ok. I finished up the cooking.”

“Oh… why?”

“I don’t think she should be cooking. Her job is

Junior. That’s where it should end. If she starts
cooking, what else will she end up doing? It’s
about boundaries babe. She is not maid. Just a
nanny.”

Tefo looked at her and sighed. “Just because

you were getting cheated in your previous
relationship doesn’t mean it will happen here.
Arefa is here to help me. If she can manage the
house and the baby then there’s nothing wrong
what the it. This is too much.”
He walked to the guest room and smiled at
Refa.

“Here is your person.”

Refa stood up and took the baby. He

immediately started crying. She held him
properly soothing him till he was quiet.

She giggled. “There… had he been fed?”

“Yes. Did Amara say anything to you?”

“No-“
“I don’t like liars.”

“I understand her point –“

“What did she say?”

She briefly rood him. Tefo sighed. “I’m suedy.

Feel free in the house. I am going to her a
helper because I don’t want you depriving
Junior your attention when he needs it but feel
free. Ok?”

“Yes rragwe Junior.”

“Call me Tefo.”

He walked out. Amara looked at him.

“Tefo-“

“I am going to freshen up.”

He walked away leaving her standing there.

***

Hours later in the early morning, Osa swallowed

looking out through the window. She could hear
her father and her uncles talking in the sitting
room..she looked at the time again then looked
at gate waiting, her heart racing.

Osa moved from the window as the door

opened then her mother walked in smiling.

“Don’t get scared. They are coming. It’s still

early right now. I don’t even understand why
your fatter woke up so early today.”

Osa forced a smile. “Ng…can I have tea?”

Her mother smiled. “You look so beautiful. I’m
coming.”

She walked out then Osa took her phone and

called Tefo. His phone rang unanswered. She
called him again.

“Yeah..”

“Are you sleeping?!”

“Osa-“

“And here I thought you were serious. Why did I

even think you would come?”

“Can you-“
“No Tefo! If you truly loved me then you would
have come!”

“And your family would have really agreed to

that?! And I still had to talk to my uncles. Osa
it’s not like I would have come there to
negotiate by myself!”

Tears filled her eyes. “Ok Tefo. It’s ok.

Lawrence will be here at around 5-6.”

She hung up sadly. She wanted to get under the

blankets and just cry but she couldn’t. She had
to face the day.

The door slowly opened then her son peaked in.

“Hey…”

Osa sniffed turning to him. “Hi.”

“Why are you crying?”

She looked at him. “Nothing sweety. Why are

you awake?”

He closed the door and looked at her. “Your dad

spoke to me yesterday.”

“About?”

“That you are marrying him to make us happy. I

thought he made you happy.”

Osa swallowed. “He does and-“

“You don’t love him. I don’t want you to marry

someone you don’t love for our sake. We don’t
even stay with you full time. Daddy always say
that you are the type to choose other people
over yourself. Prove him wrong. I don’t want you
to be unhappy like you were unhappy with him
but still stay for other people.”

Osa chuckled tearfully. “It doesn’t matter

anymore. I do love uncle Lawrence. I just
needed something to really help me realize who
I want to be with. Thank you..I am happy to
have your support. How go to bed.”
He hugged her and walked out. Osa heard
voices outside. She walked to the window and
peaked. She couldn’t really see but she knew it
was Lawrence’s uncles. She took a deep breath
and moved from the window then sat down.

Her mother walked In with the tea. “Your in-laws

are here… they are early.”

Her mother smiled. “You will be called. Stay

here.”

Osa nodded. This was it. She would just learn to

love him..

***
Over an hour later, Amara woke up as the baby
fried in the next room. She turned to Tefo but he
wasn’t there then she got up and walked to
Refa’s room. She opened the door and the baby
kept quiet as Refa started feeding him.

“Why is he crying?”

“I wanted to change his pamper before I feed

him. I’m sorry if he woke you up. Rragwe Junior
went to buy more milk.”

“Where? All shops are closed.”

“He said he’d check filling stations.”

Amara walked back to the bedroom then picked

his phone and called him.

“Hey..”

“Hi. O kae? There’s some milk eyes feeding him.

I don’t think you will find milk at the filling
stations. I am sure he will be fine till 0830 and
then you get the milk from the shops.”

“Let me check one last filling station.”

“Tefo I’m sorry about last night. I don’t know

what got over me but I am sorry.”

“I think we are moving too fast.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Amara you are always at my house. It’s like
you have partially moved in. I don’t want to feel
caged. Yesterday’s incident showed me we are
not ready to live together. We still need to work
on us before that step.”

“I am sorry. I know it’s hard being with me but I

am trying.”

“I know but I think we need to slow down. I think

all this is overwhelming you. And I understand
since I lied and kept secrets from you. I’m
sorry.”

“I am working on forgiving you..I think that’s

what been taking a tore on me.”
“I’m sorry. Look I have to go. Let me get in the
shop and look.”

“Ok.”

He hung up.

***

In Mochudi, the door opened then her aunt’s

walked in ululating.

“Monyadi wa rona!”

Osa laughed. She knew the process now. She

stood up and they helped her dress. Osa looked
at her face. Her makeup was just right. She took
a deep breath then walked out with her aunts to
go and meet with Lawrence’s aunts.

She turned her head and watched the men on

the other side talking. She tried to look for one
of the uncles she had met but she couldn’t see
him.

Her throat dried as she noticed a familiar face.

She blinked then pulled her aunt. “Aunty ke bo

mang ba?”

Sye turned looking again and watched as Tefo

greeted her father. Osa’s knees weakened
immediately. She let go of her aunt walking over
and tears burnt her eyes.
Tefo looked over then met her halfway and
hugged her tightly.

She started crying. “You said… I had given up.”

“That was so last minute. I had to you with you

too.”

She laughed crying. Tefo kissed her.

“I don’t know how we are going to move

forward from here…”

“We will do it together. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

He kissed her again then released her and
walked back to the men. Rragwe Osa looked at
him.

“Gao re bone ka sepe akere?”

They all laughed.

***

Later that morning, Amara finished making

breakfast. Refa walked from her room.

“Good morning mam. May I please have water.”

Amara looked at her embarrassed.

“I am sorry about yesterday. I was wrong and

out of line. Please forgive me. Feel free around
the house. Don’t ever listen to me because I will
lead you astray. I’m really sorry.”

Refa smiled. “Eemma.”

“You don’t have to ask me for water. Get it. I’m

almost done with breakfast hopefully Tefo is
almost home. I bet he’s been running around
the entire Gaborone.”

They both laughed then Amara continued frying.

In Mochudi, Tefo walked to his car with Osa.

“I have to get home. I will call you.”

Osa shyly smiled holding his hand. “I never

knew I would see this day.”
“Me neither.”

He cupped her face.

Osa kissed him happily then put her head on his

chest. She could hardly contain her happiness
and it came in the form of tears. It was like a
bittersweet moment for her.

She looked up at him and sniffed. “I am so

happy I just want to cry.”

“I know.”

His phone started ringing. Tefo kissed her one

last time.
“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

He hugged her and walked to his car while she

watched him. He jumped in then she turned and
walked back in the yard where the tent was up
and people were having breakfast. She looked
at her in-laws smiling then walked in the
house..her mother followed her.

“I am very disappointed that you would do this

to Lawrence and your father allowed it.”

Osa sighed. “Mama you wanted me to get

married, it happened.”
“He is old enough to be your son!”

“Tefo is now my husband and your are going to

respect it. I love him. I don’t care what anyone
thinks or says. I am his wife and that’s it. I’m
too old to be in loveless marriages!”

“You are too old to be married to a Ben 10. He

obviously just wants money-“

“Tefo owns a big company. My salary can never

compare to how much he makes in a month. He
has contracts with ministers and that’s why
your husband could charge him an arm and a
leg today.”

“He what? Driving that small taxi car?”

“Yes. And soon enough you will know about him.
Everyone will know about him. What’s done is
done. Tefo and I are official. I’m going to be Mrs
David.”

“And your children?”

“Surprisingly I have their blessings.”

Osa walked to the room to freshen up her

makeup. Her phone rang then she reached for it.

“Lawrence…”

“Hey what happened? Your father postponed

our-“
“I am sorry. Something came up. I need to see
you.”

“Ok. We are scheduling for next Saturday.”

Osa bit her lower lip knowing she was going to

put her names down together with Tefo to
register to get married on Monday.

“Can we meet? Today. Say lunch hour.”

“Ok.. anyways there’s media company that

wants to put our engagement video on their
page babe.”

“Tell them no.”

“But-“

“No..I will see you around lunch. We can meet at

a restaurant.”

“My house is open.”

Osa paused holding her phone. That was how

passion killing happened. There was no way
he’d take the news well. It needed to be a public
space.

“Let’s do restaurant and get something to eat.”

“Ok. I love you.”

“I will see you later.”

Osa hung up then did a few touches to her face
and walked out.

***

Tefo walked in his house holding the milk.

Amara turned to him holding Junior then
laughed.

“Bathong babe!”

“Found it!”

“Kana mme Junior is just ok. There was more

than enough milk.”
“Where is Refa?”

“Bathing. You are going to remain with your son

today. Refa and I are going to do grocery
shopping. You don’t have food here.”

“I hope you are not forcing –“

“I spoke to her and apologized for the way I

spoke to him. She didn’t deserve it. Lenna I
spoke to myself. I’m back in line.”

He sighed. “We need to talk.”

“Yeah. Tefo you are right. I constantly live in

fear of getting hurt. I love you so much and I
want this work more than anything. I am going
to drop better I promise. Please forgive me.”

He looked at her. “That’s nice but we need to

talk about something serious. I think-“

Refa walked over. “Done!”

Tefo looked at her then at Amara who handed

him the baby.

“We will talk later. Your food is in the microwave.

I love you. Bye.”

Refa looked at him. “Ms Amara said-“

“Its ok.”
“I will be back soon.”

He smiled then the ladies walked out. Tefo

looked at his son.

“Hey buddy… how are we going to tell her?”

He looked at his son as he slowly fell asleep.

Tefo put him down on his blanket that was on
the carpet and took a deep breath.

***

In London, Bonolo finished cleaning the toilets

holding her breath then finally walked out. She
walked to the lockers where she changed back
into her waitress uniform. She took her phone
and thoughtfully opened her Facebook to check
the police’s progress. She checked her picture
and she was still on the wanted list. There were
so many comments underneath the post. She
didn’t bother opening them then thoughtfully
searched for Osa.

Bonolo looked at her new profile picture. She

looked so beautiful as always. The caption
made her wonder. ‘New day, new beginnings, a
new chapter unlocked.’

Bonolo sighed then searched for Tefo she

quickly put her phone away as the footsteps
approached. He manager looked at her.

“You are not paid to stand. The tables are

waiting for you!”
She looked at him. “Mxm, marete!”

“What was that?”

“Marete. It means yes.”

“Ok whatever, get back to work.”

“Nxla! Dithala!”

She walked back to the restaurant. She took a

deep breath looking at just how busy it was, the
little salary she received almost made her quit
but that was the only job she had at the
moment and she had to survive.
***

In Gaborone, Amara’s phone rang as she did

shopping with Refa. She took out her phone and
answered her colleague’s call.

“Hey..”

“Hi, waitse I am home this weekend and my

neighbor’s daughter was getting married.
Waitse I thought I saw your boyfriend.

“Where?”

“In Mochudi.”

Amara laughed. “Tefo wasn’t in Mochudi today.

It’s not him.”

“Amara I could have sworn that was him

marrying that woman..but then she’s older than
him so I was questioning it but… I don’t know.”

“No it’s not Tefo.”

“Ah mma let me send you a picture. I took a

picture because I swear that looked like him.
What’s his surname? Because the in-laws I
think they are using Daniel.. something like
that.”

“Tefo is David.”

“I don’t know. Maybe it was David.”

“Tefo was home with me.. it’s not him. I think
it’s someone who looks like him.”

“Ok. Let me just send the picture.”

She hung up then the colleague sent it. Amara

swallowed opening it.

Let’s have 10k + likes and 700+ comments for

the next one around 9.

Amara swallowed opening the picture. The

picture wasn’t so clear and he wasn’t facing the
directions of the camera.

Amara zoomed it in sweating. That head was

definitely his. There was no way it wasn’t him.
Refa approached pushing the trolley.

Amara looked at her.

“I have to go home. Let’s pay. We will come

back for the rest of it.”
“Oh…”

“Ng.”

Amara walked to the till already calling the cab.

Minutes later they were walking out of the mall.
Refa looked at her and she could tell something
was wrong from the way she was pacing.

Amara called her colleague.

“Amara..”

“What’s the bride’s name?”

“Osa.”
Amara fanned herself with her hand.

“That photo you sent is blurry. I can’t really see

but I doubt it’s him because ene he was with
me in the morning and there is no way he would
be in two places at the same time.”

“Gongwe it’s a lost sibling. These things

happen.”

“Yeah but I will tell him.”

“Yeah.”

Amara hung up. Their cab guy helped out the

things in the car.
Amara’s heart raced as she sat in the cab. She
wished she could just fly home. She wiped the
sweat on her forehead as the cab driver took
them back home. Her heart pounded more as
they got closer. She unclipped the seatbelt as
the cab stopped at the gate. Anara stepped out
and rushed inside. Refa offloaded the groceries.

Amara barged inside and looked at him. Tefo

looked at her.

“Are you ok?”

“Where were you in the morning?”

“What?”
“This morning when you were looking for milk,
where were you?”

“Amara-“

“My colleague saw you Natefo so don’t even

think of lying. She saw you and sent me
pictures. She saw you with that Osa woman!
The one you said you couldn’t remember!”

She showed him. Tefo looked at blurry picture

and sighed.

“Who sent you this?”

“My colleague. You were marrying this

woman?!”

“So you would believe everything everyone tells

you? This is what I was talking about. That
doesn’t even look like me. You know very well
where I was. So just because he is tall and has
a haircut like mine it’s me? Amara I am tired.
This relationship is clearly not working so let’s
end it. I am tired of having to explain myself
every day. When will it end? Everyday it’s new
shit! That’s not me but I damn wish it was.”

“Tefo-“

“We need a break. I’m tired of having to do this

s everyday. I think we should just break up.”

“Tefo babe-“
Refa walked in. Tefo pulled Amara to the
bedroom.

“She already knows we have problems yet she’s

been here for only a day. Come on babe.”

“I was just asking.”

“You were accusing me. I am tired of having to

defend myself every corner. I think you need
time to heal.”

“Tefo-“

“You need to heal because I feel I pressured you

onto this relationship.”
She took a deep breath. “I am sorry for accusing
you. I was just asking.”

“We need a break. I need to adjust to having my

son around too. I don’t want to fight in front of
him. Let’s just separate for a while.”

She looked at him tearfully. “I am sorry. I just

wanted to ask.”

“I understand but I think we need a break. You

need to go and see someone. Just for a few
weeks or months the we can try again.”

Tears filled her eyes. “Why does it feel like a

break up then?”
“I am not breaking up with you. I am just saying
we need a break. You have a lot to deal with.
You need to see someone then we can try again
when you are healed. Please…”

Amara burst into tears. Tefo hugged her tightly.

“I love you. But right now I don’t think it’s
working. Let’s just take a break. Please.”

She cried even more. He hugged her. “I am

sorry.”

“I don’t want a break.”

“If we don’t take a break them we are headed

for a break up because I’m getting tired.”
She sniffed. “I was just asking.”

“You were not just asking and you know it. I

need some space. Go and figure yourself out.
We will try again once you are better.”

He walked out. Amara out her hands on her

face crying. Tefo picked his son and walked out
with him. He put him on his seat and drove off
calling his wife.

“Babe..”

“Have people left yet?”

“Some are.”
“I am coming to pick you up.”

“Ok. Ra kae?”

“For a short drive. Junior is with me.”

“Ok. I can’t wait to meet him. Must a tswana le

Bonolo.”

“Just the complexion. He hasy sexy ears.”

Osa laughed. “Ok. I will be waiting. Sharp.”

“I love you.”
“I love you too.”

Tefo hung up and called another his PA.

“Hi, I need a 4 bedroom beautiful house. Good

neighborhood. With a big office for my wife and
I. One of the rooms should be big enough to
turn it into a play room. Also a pool and a
garage suitable to fit 4 cars.”

“Eerra. When do you want it?”

“As soon as yesterday.”

“I will start looking.”

“Thanks. Also plan for a short vacation to

Kasane. A weekend getaway.”

“Eerra.”

“How far with the ring?”

“I should have it on Monday.”

“Thank you.”

***

At Tefo’s house, Amara called her sister crying.

“Ama..”
“Tefo says he wants a break. A colleague of
mine said she saw him ko Mochudi getting
married. I asked him and he says he needs a
break.”

“Ahh mma le wena! Before you accuse a man of

cheating, you need to make sure you have
enough evidence. You need to tone it down.
Fight your four relationship! Refuse that break
and fight fir your relationship. Tefo is a good
man , he’s rising and the last thing you want is
to lose him because trust me, you will cry. Fight
for your man!”

Tefo parked his car at the gate. Minutes later

Osa walked out in a short dress with her hair
flowing down her back. She smiled getting in
the car.

“Hey..”

Tefo kissed her. “You look nice.”

Osa smiled then turned to Junior. Just looking

at him she remembered Bonolo. He- A huge

He looked so much like his mother. She smiled.

“I knew he’d look like Bonolo.”

“Don’t you see my ears?”

Osa laughed then fixed his hat and turned to

Tefo.
“I see it. I wonder how ours would have been
looking like.”

“We still have time to try.”

She smiled then Tefo drove off with his hand on

her thigh caressing her moving his hands
further inside he dress.

Osa smiled increasing the volume a bit on the

radio careful not to wake up Junior then softly
sang along with Ashanti.

Tefo looked at her as she sang as the wind

blew her hair.

She turned to him and smiled.

“What?”

“Nothing. I’ve asked my PA to find a house for

us.”

“I thought I’d be the one to do that.”

“She can help you if you like. Or I can tell her

you will handle it?”

“I am selling my current house so from that

money –“

“Your money is your money. I don’t care if you

have more or not. I will handle our finances.”
She looked at him and nodded. “Of cause… I
was just saying.”

“I will ask her to contact you.*

She nodded. Tefo kissed her she continued

driving still caressing her. Osa took a picture of
his hand understand her dress and smiled
looking forward as he drove out of Gaborone.

***

Later that day, Amara tried calling Tefo again

but he still wasn’t picking. She texted him.

Amara: Hi, it’s late. Where are you. I’ve made

dinner.
She stared at her message but he still didn’t
respond. She sat down. Maybe he was right. A
little break wouldn’t hurt anyone. She called
him again.

Tefo picked breathing heavily.

“Yeah?”

“Hi. Why are you breathing heavily?”

“The car was giving me problem. I had to push

it. What’s wrong?”

“Come back home so we can talk. Please.”

“I took Junior out. We will be back tomorrow.”

“He is only a baby. Take him where without his

clothes?”

“I had packed some in the car before you

came.”

“Is that why some of your clothes are missing?”

“I-“

“I am not fighting. I am just worried. He’s too

young to be out there. I am not saying you can’t
take care of your baby but he needs to be
home.”
“We will be back tomorrow. Can I find you
moving out.. I’m also moving out of that house
soon. We will try again once you are heaked. I
have to go.”

He hung up. Amara looked at her phone then

called her colleague.

“Wena mma-“

“I just spoke to my mother. I was about to call

you. The people in the morning are the Davids.
Check properly. Are you sure gase ene?”

“Its not him! Tefo is not the only one with that
surname. It’s not him. You have been brought
fights into my relationship. Not all men cheat.
Tefo is not like that.”
“Oh… ok. I was just trying to look out for you.”

“We are ok . It wasn’t him. But thanks.”

“Ok bye!”

She hung up then Amara sighed regretfully.

***

Outside Gaborone, Osa stared at Tefo wearing

his t-shirt only.

“When are you going to tell her? I am breaking

up with Lawrence tomorrow.”
“I am trying to find the right words. She’s been
hurt before. I don’t want to just… drop it on her.”

“I don’t want to share you again. You are mine

alone. She won’t be the first one to get hurt.”

“Babe-“

“You are going to tell her tomorrow when you

get home. We are starting this on a clean slate.
No lies, no secrets.”

“Eemma.”

“I want to be happy freely. I don’t want to have

to worry if she’s there or not Tefo. I am
completely choosing you. Do the same for me.”

Tefo kissed her. “Ke utule.. I will end it

tomorrow.”

She stood on her toes receiving his kiss. Junior

started crying. Osa moved from him and walked
to the baby.

***

Momo finished baking her cake then took

pictures and posted it. She smiled happily then
paused as her phone rang.

She picked her friend’s call. “Bontle-“

“Tefo is married?”

“What?”

“I sent you a picture one of my Facebook friend

has posted but she deleted it. Motho o ke Tefo.
Mma if that’s his wife, o bolaile gore but then I
heard she is in her 40’s. She doesn’t look that
old. She is so pretty.”

Momo hung up and opened the WhatsApp

picture of Tefo with her. She took a deep breath
sitting down.

She had never seen that smile on his face

before. Bontle called her again.
“Are you sure it’s his wedding?”

“Yes, there were actually two pictures. The

other one they were kissing. Kana do you know
who that woman is? She –“

“She is just using him. It will end in tears trust

me.”

“Even if it does, they would have enjoyed

themselves. Nna tota they look like a match
made in heaven. I never knew Tefo could look
that sexy and handsome. Sometimes all you
need a bit of money.”

Momo rolled her eyes. “If she’s older than him

it will end in tears. She’s going to age and Tefo
will move on to the next better thing. Tefo is a
man with money. Nothing will ever stop him
from getting something better. They are forcing
things. It’s going to end in tears.”

***

The following morning, Amara woke up to her

phone ringing. She picked her sister’s call.

“Maya..”

“Tefo is married mma. I just woke up to it. He

was lying to you. His wedding pictures are
trending. Bathong I can’t believe Tefo would lie
like this!”

Amara’s heart skipped. “Maya-“

“At least the truth is out. Just walk away. It’s
not worth it. I never knew he could lie like this!”

Amara hung up and opened her Facebook and

that was the first post on her timeline. She
looked at the wedding pictures trending.

She got up calling Tefo.

“Tefo…” Words disappeared from her mind as

tears filled her eyes.

“What’s your excuse now?”

“We will talk when I get there.”

“You said she was a family friend you marry
your family friends? Tefo what’s going on?”

“I don’t want to lie to you. We will talk when I get

home.”

Amara loudly cried emotionally. “Tefo I’m going

to kill myself if-“

“What do you want me to say? I’m not

explaining myself over the phone. We will talk
when I get there..”

“Tell me now!”

“They edited my face. That’s not me. It’s a

prank gape. Look we will talk when I get there.”
He hung up.

Tefo walked back in their room at the lodge and

looked at Osa as she finished dressing the baby.
“Done?”

“Yes. I can’t believe that photographer. And I

asked him not to release any photos.”

“The truth was always going to come out.”

Amara rubbed – We are now at 20474, today

Amara rubbed her eyes. “I didn’t want it to come

out like this.”
“Let’s go. We will deal with it.”

“I am scared.”

Tefo hugged her. “I got you. If I have ever left

you before, this time it’s going to be different.”

He kissed her. “We will handle it together. Let’s

go “

She picked the baby and walked infront of him.

She out the baby on his seat and got in the car
with Tefo.

“I’ve switched off my phone. It won’t stop

ringing.”
Tefo kissed her. “You once said something
about your image –“

“My image involves you now. They will have to

adjust and move on.”

“Your father is pretty cool but the rest of your

family is tricky.”

“I don’t care. I love you.”

Tefo held her hand driving back to Gaborone.

***

Tefo parked at Osa’s house.

“I am going home to talk to Amara.”

“Junior will stay behind with me. I don’t want

him to get caught up in any fight.”

“Ok.”

Osa walked inside the house with Junior and

laid him down on her bed while Tefo walked
behind holding his little bag.

“I will call you.”

She nodded as he kissed her then walked out.

Osa switched on her phone then messages
started coming through.
Seconds her phone rang.

“Dineo.”

“You really went and married a Ben ten!” Dineo

laughed. “I never knew you were this
desperate!”

“At least nna mma ke nyetswi. Second round

and wena you have never been engaged. I feel
sorry for you.”

“Me? When you are the one who married

someone old enough to be your son?*

“That’s your own problem. Nna mm I’m now

married. Gao mpona yana ke happy gore, I’m so
happy. I don’t remember when I was last this
happy. I’m married for love and it feels amazing.
I didn’t even sleep last night because I was
scared to wake up and find out it was all a
dream.”

“And you think you can build a future with him?

He is going to leave you for younger women!”

“Then I am going to make the marriage worth

my while. I’m going to enjoy this marriage to
the fullest. You sound bitter and angry Dineo.
Go and have sex.”

“You are going to regret it! Trust me.”

“Sex is very important. Go and have sex.”

Dineo hung up. Osa sighed then Lawrence
started calling. She took a deep breath.

“I was going to tell you.”

“Hey. Kana I keep telling them that he is your

cousin. Was he getting married?”

She blinked. “Yes.”

“Is that why ours got postponed?”

“Yes. I am sorry this is going to hurt but I have

always been in love with the someone else.
When I told you I was over him, I thought I was
till I saw him again. I realized I still loved him
very much. I tried to fight it but it got to a point
where we couldn’t find it anymore. I know you
are hurt and I am sorry but the truth is that Tefo
is that man and I chose him. You are a good of
you. You deserve better.”

“Tefo your uncle’s child? You are in love with

your relative?“

“I lied that day. I didn’t know how to introduce

him to you. I am sorry for lying. I wanted to tell
you everything in person not for you to find our
on Facebook.”

Lawrence laughed as he tried to put the pieces

together.

“You played me. You and your family.”

“I am really sorry. I can pay you to compensate-“

“So you have been cheating on me?!”

“I wasn’t . Yesterday was the first time we slept

together since our breakup.”

“I can’t believe you! I trusted you, gave you

everything. Introduced you to everyone for you
to embarrass me like that? I gathered my entire
family to come to your house and marry you!”

“I wouldn’t have been happy if I married you.”

“You played me and you are going to pay for it

Osa!”
Lawrence hung up. Osa locked all doors then
called the locksmith.

“Hello.”

“I need all my locks changed. Now.”

***

Tefo parked his car and walked inside the

house. Amara looked at him.

“It’s a prank?”

“I wanted us to talk in person. Not over the

phone.” He looked at the tears in her eyes. “I am
sorry. I am sorry about everything. I could have
done better. When I started wanting you, what I
had with Osa had ended. I didn’t think it could
ever be anything serious because of the
circumstances. I continuously told her it was
just sex even though I felt more for her. We had
a fall out when I went to prison and coming
back, I was somewhat angry and I didn’t want
her anymore. I thought if I walked away then the
feelings would disappear. I got to be with you
and you are an amazing woman. But I realized I
was lying to myself and I wanted her. I am
sorry.”

Amara laughed looking at him. She bended

laughing.

“Is that the prank? Tefo-“

“There is no prank. This is reality. I married her
yesterday with the little I have. This is why I was
telling you to move out.”

She stopped laughing and looked at him.

“Tefo-“

“Osa is now my wife.”

“You..” She looked at his serious face as tears

filled her eyes.

“You are lying.”

“I know you will be fine.”

She swallowed looking at him in silence then

turned walking to their bedroom. She grabbed
her bag and walked out.

“Amara-“

“You found me in my peace. I knew you would

hurt me but I chose to follow my heart. I gave
you a portion of it and you played it however
you wished making me feel stupid while at it.”

“I am sorry. I can drop you off.”

“Don’t bother.”
She walked out. Tefo put his hands on his face.
His phone rang, he took it out and picked.

“Yeah?”

“You have made the biggest mistake of your life

and you are going to pay for it in ways you never
imagined.”

Osa opened the gate for the locksmith and

walked back in her house. She picked her
ringing phone.

“Hello?”

"Hi it's Amara. Can we talk?”

“Hi, yes.”

“Face to face if you don’t mind. I am not going

to fight, I just want to understand a few things
before leaving you two alone.”

“I am sorry but that won’t be possible. I will not

engage in street fights if that’s what you are
aiming for.”

“Its not. How long were you two… doing it

behind my back? Because I remember asking
you the tone Tefo was in hospital. Were you two
already in a relationship then? Or you just never
broke up?”

“We had broken up then. We just got back

together. Him paying my bride price was a last
minute thing. I didn’t even think it was him.”

“Why did you agree knowing he had someone?”

“Because I love him.”

“And to you it doesn’t matter who gets hurt?”

“You should be having this conversation with

Nate..I don’t owe you anything. I wasn’t in a
relationship with you. I am sorry you are hurt
but I chose my happiness.”

“So at your old age you are still chasing after

men young enough to be your young brothers?”

“Chasing? No one is chasing anyone. Nate

chose the one he wanted. It could have been
you or me, he chose me. I am not getting into
this with you. I don’t know you and I want it to
remain like that.”

“You will never build a happy home on top of

another woman’s tears.”
“Ok. Bye.”

Osa hung up and locked all her doors.

***

In London, Bonolo sat in her little room holding

her phone. Tefo’s wedding pictures choked her.
It wasn’t just that he got married but the woman
he had married as well.

Tears burnt her eyes then she blinked looking at

Osa. She badly wanted to call him and confront
him. But that would just get her caught. After all
she had almost killed him.
She closed her eyes thinking of going back
home. She could just tell them she had ran
away because she feared for her life. She could
take her son and take care of him. A tear rolled
down then she quickly wiped it away..

Someone knocked on her door. Bonolo wiped

her tears and opened.

Gavin smiled. “Coffee?”

She chuckled. “Yes please. Thank you.”

She took the coffee. He walked in her room and

looked at the bucket at the corner of the room.

“Still leaking?”
“Yes.”

“I will come by later and patch it.”

“Thank you.”

“The library down the road is hiring. I was

thinking maybe you want to check it out. It’s
better than the restaurant.”

“Really? Oh thank God! Let’s go now. If I get it I

don’t have to go back to work today.”

“Yeah.”
He walked out. She followed minutes later.

***

Amara walked inside her house that same

morning and sat down wondering how she had
missed the signs. Tears burnt her eyes then she
out her hands on her face crying. She got in bed
and went under the covered and sobbed all
alone. Had she pushed him to her by constantly
being insecure.

The door opened then Maya walked in. She

looked at her sister crying then peeled the duvet.

“Amara-“
“I pushed him to her. I did this. “

“No you didn’t. He married her because he

wanted to. No one pushed him to it. It was his
devious.”

“Something is wrong with me. That’s why my

relationships never work. They all this and up
cheating on me. Something must be wrong with
me. That woman doesn’t even feel guilty. She
knew I was in the picture. What face I ever done
to God Maya?”

Maya watched as her sister sobbed

uncontrollably. Tears filled her own eyes then
he hugged her.

“It’s ok.”
“My heart…”

Amara touched her chest. Maya pulled her

sister closer.

“His karma will sort him out.”

Amara cried fir a while till she finally fell asleep.

***

Refa took Junior from Tefo as he walked inside

the house.

Tefo sighed. “Amara left?”

“Yes, after you left. She cried.”

“I know.”

“So you really married the other woman?”

“Yes.. her name is Osa. I already told her about

you. I think you two will talk to get to know one
another but she’s a gentle person.”

“I wish you knew how I love that woman. I

follow her on Instagram.”

Tefo smiled. “Then you two should get along

just fine.”
Refa smiled. “I can’t wait to meet her.”

***

The following morning, Maya took a deep

breath looking at her sister breathing heavily in
her sleep. She got up and walked out unlocking
her phone. She opened her Facebook and Tefo
had changed his profile picture.

Rage took over her with each step she took.

Just staring at their smiles she knew there was
no karma that would visit them. They would just
live happily ever after while her sister cried.
Maya walked back to her sister’s bedroom and
took out sister’s tracksuit and put it on. She
grabbed spare keys Amara had to Tefo’s house
and walked out with them.
She got in her car and drove off headed to a
filling station. Maya smiled stepping out with a
20 litter bottle. She smiled.

“Can I have petrol in this. It’s for a generator.”

“Eemma.”

Maya waited as they filled it up. She paid then

the fuel attendant carried it to her hoot. Maya
smiled and drove off.

She took a deep breath and looked at the time.

She parked at the corner of the street at Tefo’s
house. Over an hour later Tefo’s drove off.
Maya jumped out of her car and walked to the
gate pressing the gate remote. She looked at
the empty security’s guard chair and hurried to
Tefo’s house. She knocked the moved back.
Refa opened the door holding the baby. Maya
smiled.

“Hi. Thamma I’m so patched. Ke kopa metsi.

Can I come in?”

Refa looked at her.

“I’m not allowed to allow –“

“It’s just water. I’m very patched ebile my head

is aching. Even tap water is fine. I am begging
you. I’m about to die.”

Refa breathed out then opened the door letting

her in. Maya smiled.

“Is that yours? He’s so cute. Eish mma kana nna

I can’t have kids. Can I hold him? He’s so cute.
How old is he?”

Refa smiled. “I’m just a nanny.”

“O monte gore. Can I?”

Refa smiled and handed Junior to Maya.

“I will get you your water.”

“Thank you. You have a good heart.”

Refa walked to the kitchen. Her phone rang then

she took it out and smiled picking.
“Hello?”

Maya looked at the baby as Refa spoke smiling

in the kitchen. She put the baby down and
picked the cushion then pressed it on his face.
He tried kicking his legs but Maya overpowered
his tiny body suffocating him.

Refa wrapped up her call laughing then opened

the fridge.

Maya took off the cushion and sat down fixing

his face. She smiled as Refa walked back with a
glass of water.

“There…”
Maya stood up. “Thanks. I think he fell asleep.”

“Oh.. he just woke up.”

“He is an easy baby.”

Refa took Junior. Maya drank the water then

smiled..

“Ok bye.”

“Sharp.”

Maya quickly walked out. She hurried to the

gate pressing the gate remote then got in her
car and drove off.
Her phone rang. “Amara…”

“Hey, o kae?”

“Getting you something to eat. How are you

feeling?”

“I will be fine. I can’t change anything. I just

have to accept it and move on. Tefo has chosen.
He obviously never loved me. I guess he just
loved a good challenge. It hurts but then life
never stops. There is nothing I can do. I just
have to accept reality.”

Maya sighed. “Yeah..”

Maya hung up and breathed out loud hoping he
was really dead. If her sister was going to be
crying, so was he.

***

Osa drove in the yard later that morning. She

walked inside the house. Refa turned then
stood up.

Osa smiled. “Hi.”

“Good morning Mrs. David.”

Osa smiled. “Call me Osa.”

Osa’s phone rang. She smiled picking.

“Hey…”

“O kae?”

“Home at your house. I saw Junior has rush on

his neck. I brought him a cream.”

“I’m meeting with the truck guys. I will be there

in an hour or so.”

“Ok.”

He dropped the call. Refa looked at Osa

smikevthen laughed. Osa laughed.
“Mma I’m newly married. Nate is still behaving,
kamoso he’s going to wake up a mpuisa jaka
ngwana. Let me enjoy the gentle love I’m
getting.”

“You should see how you are smiling.”

Osa laughed. “Anyways, you are Refa?”

“Eemma.”

“Nice to meet you. Nate was telling me you are

a stay in. It worked here because it was only
you and him but when we move to the new
home I was thinking you do stay out. We will
increase the salary. You will stay with Junior
during the day then go home after. It gives you
a chance to just do your own things. I will take
care of him at night.”

“That works for me. I can also do house chores.

You don’t have to hire someone new.”

“Ok. We will see how you do with the baby and

the chores. If you take on the chores then we
will add more to the salary.”

“Eemma.”

“Where is he? It’s so quiet.”

“He’s been sleeping. Let me get him for you.”

“Ok.”
Osa walked to the kitchen and looked at Tefo’s
clothes on the washing line. She walked to the
bedroom and looked around. It had been
cleaned. Osa walked to Refa’s room and
stepped in.

“Hey, he’s awake?”

Refa picked him up and looked at him. He was

so still, even his skin had changed color.

“He is not waking up.”

Osa walked over and took him. His skin was

cold, her heart skipped instantly.
She shook him but there was no movement.

“How long has he been sleeping?”

“Over an hour.”

Osa hurried out with him going to her car.

“Bring his bag!”

She jumped in and looked at the baby, her heart

racing. Refa ran over and got in. Osa handed her
the baby and pressed the gate remote reversing
then sped off.

*
At the hospital, Osa rushed in holding the baby.

“Re kopa thuso! Thusang!”

A nurse walked over. “What’s wrong?”

“The baby! The baby is not moving!”

The nurse took him. She looked at Osa then the

baby and rushed with the baby. Osa could hear
her heart pound.

Tears rolled down Refa’s eyes. “I thought he

was just sleeping.”
Osa nodded fighting her own tears but deep
down she knew. The nurse walked back with a
doctor minutes later. Osa pressed her lips
together. The doctor sadly stood before them.

“Who’s the-“

“Is he ok? Please is he ok?”

“Unfortunately he’s long passed away. I’m sorry

fir your loss.”

Her knees grew weaker that she sat down on

the bench. Refa shook head in disbelief.

“No… he was fine. He was fine!”

“I am sorry. He’s been confirmed dead. There
was nothing we can do.”

Refa cried looking at the doctor.

“He was alive!”

“We are so sorry. I suspect he must have
suffocated in his sleep.”

Refa shook her head sobbing. Osa cried then

pressed her lips together wondering how she
was going to tell him. Her phone vibrated
ringing. She looked at him calling then ignored it
getting up.

“Can I get the real cause of his death? She says

he was fine. I found him sleeping. When I
picked him up he… I need to know. I need to
understand what happened to him.”

“Eemma but for a more detailed cause an

autopsy –“

“I need your report before the autopsy. Tell me

what caused his death! Was he killed? I need to
understand.”

Refa looked at her. “I didn’t…I would never-“

“They are going to be the ones to explain that. I

don’t understand how a baby just dies.”

Refa shook her head crying. “I would never hurt

him. I need this job!”

Tefo was started calling again. Osa sniffed and

moved back.

“Baby..”

“What’s going on? You are not picking my calls.

Where are you? I’m home. Finished early.”

“Uh-“

“Come back. I got something for you.”

Fresh warm tears rolled down her face.

“Ok..”

“I love you.”

“I love you too Natefo. So much.”

“Come home let me show you just how much I

love you.”

Osa dropped the call. She turned to Refa then

called Tefo’s aunt.

“Mrs Tefo..”

Osa sniffed. “I….uh… I went to Tefo’s .. I went to

my house today. Where Tefo is staying. I
realized that Junior had rush on his neck
yesterday so I bought him some cream. When I
arrived, he was sleeping. When I tried to wake
him up he wasn’t responsive so we rushed to
the hospital. He’s just… “ Osa paused crying.
“He has been confirmed dead. Nate doesn’t
know.”

“God!”

Osa bended crying. “What am I going to tell

him?”

“Jesus!”

Osa cried more holding her phone. “What do I

say to him?”
“Osa..”

She tried to pull herself together but her

emotions overwhelmed her as she cried.

“Osa my girl… I’m going to need you to be

strong. How did he die?”

“The doctor suspect he suffocated in his sleep.”

“That happens. You are going to have to be

strong. I will tell a few people so we come and
announce it to him.”

“Ok.”

“ Pull yourself together. He’s going to need you.

This incident will either make this marriage or
break it. You are going to need to stand strong
and hold his hand.”

“Eemma.”

“Let me call them.”

She hung up. Refa looked at Osa as she

pressed her phone, probably calling the police.
Tears flooded her eyes as she thought of going
to jail for a crime she hadn’t committed. There
was no way she could prove her innocence. And
she had heard him talking on the phone in the
morning with someone who handled house
cameras and he was installing them in the new
house.
Of cause she knew him mentioning cameras to
her was just a lie to scare her but now more
than ever she wished they were really there
hiding somewhere in the house.

Refa thought of her siblings. There was no way

she was going down for a crime she didn’t
commit. Osa walked over.

“You are going to have to wait for the police to

give them your statement..I’m rushing home.
Tefo is waiting. And I am not saying you killed
him. Tefo explained to me your situation but we
need to know what happened to him.”

Refa nodded tearfully. Osa briefly spoke to the

nurse and hurried out. The nurse she followed
him. Refa swallowed and walked over.
“I am so pressed. I want to pee.”

“Ok, there. Be quick. The police is coming.”

“Ok.”

Refa walked off headed to the toilets. She

turned realizing no one was following then
quickly went straight walking out of the hospital
and ran off.

***

Osa parked next to Tefo’s car and fixed her

face. She stepped out and walked inside the
house. His aunt had texted her saying his
uncles were on their way.

Tefo turned to her.

“Where is Refa and Junior?”

She blinked. “They remained behind.”

“Ok. Why are you standing so far? Come here.”

She walked over. Tefo pulled her closer and

kissed her.

She touched his chest. “I-“

“Shhh…” He kissed her. “I know you once

complained about how I was treating you. I
hope you don’t think that’s what will be
happening. I am going to treat you right I
promise. I have never been a husband to
anyone but… I am going to try my best to be
what you need. What you deserve.”

Tears rolled down. Tefo kissed her cheeks. “We

skipped this little part here and I wanted to ask
you..”

Tefo took out a black small velvet box from his

container then opened it. Osa swallowed
looking at the ring.

Tefo slowly went down on his knee.

“I know it doesn’t matter now because we are

here but… will you marry me?”

She nodded crying. Tefo smiled and said it on

then got up kissing her. He hugged her as she
sobbed.

“Babe..”

“I… I…”

“Its ok. Don’t cry.”

He wiped away her tears. “Its ok Mrs David.”

A car hooted outside. Osa turned and looked at

his uncle’s car. Tefo looked at it too.
“I didn’t know he was coming. Is Refa ok where
they are?”

Osa looked at him and nodded. He pressed his

remote then his uncle drove in with another car
behind him.

Two of his uncles walked in the house with their

wives. Osa cleared her throat.

“Dumelang, come in.”

Tefo smiled. “Ke direleng yaanong? (What did I

do this time around?)”

His uncle chuckled. “You are always guilty of

something. Let’s call sit. Mrs Tefo, sit with him.”

Tefo looked at them. He could actually tell

something was wrong.

“What’s wrong? Is it Tumo?”

“Let’s all sit.”

Osa sat with him holding his hand. His uncle

cleared his throat.

“Uh I don’t know how to say this but… I received

a call from your aunt who said she had gotten a
call from your wife and she had been
hysterical.”
Tefo looked at Osa. His uncle carried on.

“She was at the hospital and she told your aunt

that she came here with a rush cream for TJ…
upon arrival, the baby was sleeping and when
she tried to wake him up he wouldn’t wake up
so she rushed him to the hospital. Tefo my boy
I’m so sorry but he was confirmed dead with
suspicion that he may have died in his sleep.”

Tefo frowned. “What are you talking about?

Babe tell them where Refa ahd Junior are.”

A tear rolled down as Osa looked at him. “At the

hospital. I didn’t know how to tell you. I am
sorry. Maybe if I came in early we would have
found him alive.”
Tefo looked at her then his uncle’s serious face.
He looked at Osa again.

“Stop fucking with me.”

She started crying. “I am so sorry. He’s gone.”

***

At Amara’s house, Amara finished eating and

sighed.

“His karma is coming.”

Maya smiled. “I know it will. Your tears will not

go down the drain for nothing. He will cry too.
It’s life, an eye for an eye.”

“Nate I am sorry. I took him to the hospital as

soon as I realized.”

“You are fucking with me. When I left he was

alive.”

His uncle got up. “We can all go to the hospital.”

Tefo looked at Osa.

“I am sorry.”

He walked out. She followed after him and got

in the car as he jumped in starting the engine.

“Which hospital?”

At the hospital, Tefo walked in the room where

his son’s little body was. He looked at him. He
was still dressed and looked like he was just
sleeping.

He gently picked him. The baby remained still,

his eyes closed. Osa stood behind him. Tefo
looked at him for a while hoping you nice a
single movement but he remained still.

Tears burnt his eyes as he touched his son’s

face. He was so cold. A tear fell on the baby’s
forehead. Tefo swallowed, a painful block
sitting on his throat.

Another tear dropped. Osa touched his back.

“I will wait outside.”

She walked out. Tefo blinked silently crying

looking at his son.

He swallowed. He tried to pray but nothing

came to his head. What would he even say to
God?

He closed his eyes recalling his mother’s words

about praying. He could almost hear her say
‘Tefo a prayer is like a conversation but with
God’.

He opened his mouth.

“How much more do I have to lose God?”

He put his baby down and put his hands on his

face crying. The pain in his heart cut deeper
more than anything. He knelt down feeling weak
crying for his son.
Tefo finally got up a while later and walked out.
Osa stood up sniffing. She had last seen him in
such a state when he lost his mother though
this time he looked more broken.

She hugged. Tefo held burying his face on her

shoulder. Osa sniffed feeling his tears wet her
shoulder.

He pulled away over ten minutes later.

“Where is Refa? She knows what happened to

my son.”

“The nurse said she disappeared after I left. The

police is searching for her.”
***

At bus rank Refa called her father.

“Papa…”

“Refa, how is Gaborone?”

She started crying. “I shouldn’t have come.”

“Is he abusing you?”

She cried even more sitting down on the

pavement. “Bad luck follows me everywhere.”

“What happened?”
“His son is dead. I thought he just fell asleep in
the morning. I laid him down. Tefo’s wife came
an hour later and we tried to wake him up. He
didn’t wake up. Now it looks like I’ve killed him. I
ran away. I am not going to jail for something I
didn’t do.”

“You ran away?”

“Yes. I am coming back home.”

“Refa… you didn’t do anything. Talk to me my

girl. Mistakes happen. I understand.”

“I didn’t do anything I swear. “

“Then you have nothing to run from. You
running makes you guilty. If they accuse you I
will sell my last cow and get you out. Go back.”

“I am scared.”

“You are innocent. Go to turn the police and just

tell the truth.”

Refa cried. “Kea tshaba. They are going to say I

killed him.”

“The police will never arrest you if you are

telling the truth. They will never arrest you if you
are innocent. You didn’t do anything. You are
innocent. Go back and tell them the truth. You
didn’t do anything. If you run away you look
guilty. Go back and tell them the truth. Babies
die everyday for different reasons. Go back.”

Refa nodded. Her father hung up. Refa got up

minutes later and walked the other side of the
rank where the police station was.

Her phone rang as she approached. She looked

at Amara calling.

“Hello?”

“Hi, I forgot a few work documents there.

Thamma can you take them out for me so I can
collect them. Tefo o kae?”

“I don’t know. I think at home.”

She sniffed.

“What’s wrong?”

”Junior is dead. I have to go.”

She walked inside the police station hanging up.

***

Amara looked at her sister in shock.

“Junior is dead.”

“Uhu, his karma came so fast. Let him cry.”

“Maya how can you say that. He just lost his
son.”

“He married his grandmother in secret playing

you for a fool.”

“So? That doesn’t mean he deserves his son

dying.”

“You can’t be the only one crying. Let him cry

too and feel what you felt. Gape babies die
everyday.”

“Junior did nothing. He’s innocent.”

“His father is not. Why are you even feeling

sorry for him? He hurt you!”
“I am not going to celebrate the death of his
son.”

“I will celebrate it for you. Tefo is evil. He

deserves what he’s getting.”

***

At the police station, Tefo walked in then Refa

so good up shaking.

“I am so sorry. I didn’t do anything. I swear… I

swear.”

She looked at Osa behind him and went down

on her knees.
“I would never hurt an innocent baby. I laid him
to bed and…” She cried kneeling. “I didn’t do
anything.”

Refa cried trying to talk. Tefo swallowed.

“So what happened to him?”

“You left, he was still awake. I fed him then… uh

a lady came asking for water. She asked to hold
Junior. I got her the water and when I gave it to
her he had fallen asleep. I put him down and
cleaned the house and washed your clothes.
From there I checked him, he was still sleeping
then I started watching TV and that’s when Mrs
David arrived. I swear that’s what happened.”
“What woman? The neighbor?”

“No. She said she was thirsty. She left after I

gave her the water.”

The police officer looked at him. “Do you have

cameras in the house?”

“Yes. I installed them before Junior came but

they are only in the sitting room.”

“That’s still fine. We can check nonetheless.”

Refa got up trembling. Tefo looked at her.

“I hope you are telling the truth.”

He walked out. Osa sighed. “I believe you.”

She walked out following after her husband.

“I-“

“I am going with you.”

She got on the driver’s seat.

“Osa step out. Let me handle this-“

“We are going to handle it together. I am going

with you. Whether you want or you don’t.”

He looked at her wanting to say something then

sighed jumping in the car at the passenger seat.
She took the keys from his hand and started the
engine then drove off.

***

Amara finished putting on her clothes.

“I am going to see Tefo.”

Maya sighed looking at her sister. “Ama what

are you hoping for? He is probably with his
wife.”

“So? She knew I was there when she married

him. I am going to see him.”

“Are you that desperate for him?”

“I am not going to pretend like I am his enemy.

He just lost his child.”

“So what? That’s his loss not yours!”

“Drop me off at his house. I need to pass my

condolences.”

“Can you leave him to deal with his pain alone?

Tefo was never going to call you to ask you
about how you are doing! Why are you so
desperate for him?”

“He just lost his baby!”

“So what? He probably died in his sleep.”

“At least he put up cameras. He will get closure

on how he really died.”

Maya looked at her in shock, all blood draining

from his face. “He what?”
“He put cameras. In the sitting room. I hope it
happened in the sitting room.”

Maya got up. “He… there are cameras?!”

“Yeah.”

Maya fanned herself. She walked outside

shaking. Amara followed her.

“Let’s go-“

“I need to go home and freshen up. I have to

go.”

Maya got in her car and drove off. Her palms

sweated. She tried to calm down.
A car hooted behind her went to the wrong lane.
She swayed her car back to her lame and
continued driving sweating. Her phone rang.
She picked her husband’s call.

“Baby, I was thinking we do dinner later on… call

a nanny for the child.”

She cleared her throat. She was definitely going

to jail. The police was going to hunt her down.
Her child would grow up without a mother.

“Ok.”

“I will see you at home.”

He hung up. She thought of telling her sister, at
least give her heads up. Maya took a u-turn.

***

At Tefo’s house, Tefo opened the file with the

CCTV footage from the morning. Osa took a
deep breath as it started playing from six
o’clock . He put it on fast forward.

Osa watched as Refa walked out of her room

with the baby. Minutes later Tefo walked out
from his bedroom and took the baby from her.
He handed her back the baby and said
something that made her smile.

He finally walked out. Osa breathed rubbing her

forehead then they watched as Refa opened the
door for someone. Tefo paused the video and
looked carefully.

“That’s mmagwe Wame.”

“Who?”

“Amara’s sister.”

He played the video then watched as Maya

spoke to Refa till she walked in the house.
Seconds later Refa handed her the baby and
disappeared to the kitchen.

Tefo’a heart raced as Maya took the baby to the

couch and placed her down.
Osa’s eyes widened as she took the cushion
and pressed it on the baby’s face.

“No!”

Maya pressed the cushion fur a while then

quickly took it off and picked the baby. A
second later Refa walked over with a glass and
took the baby. Tefo watched in silence, his
heart pounding hard.

It was as If he was watching TV but that was

reality.

He closed the laptop. Osa looked at him.

“You think Amara sent her?”

“Yeah because there’s …” Tefo got up and out
his hands on face. “Fuck!”

“She is going to jail.”

Tefo sat down on the bed. “It won’t return my

child.”

“I know but she is going to rot in jail. Where she

belongs.”

Tefo clenched his jaw angrily. “Take the laptop..

let’s go.”

Osa quickly took it. They got in the car then

Tefo drove off. He parked at the police station
and looked at her.

“I need some water. Take the evidence inside. I

am coming.”

“They have some water inside.”

“I need a moment baby.”

She held his hand. “I don’t want to lose you. I

don’t want you to do anything that may cost
us.”

“Osa-“

“You are angry and I know-“

“Take that evidence inside. I need some air. I
need to think, I need you to take the evidence
inside or should I do everything? I need a
moment too! I’m hurting and I just a moment to
myself. That’s all.”

“Don’t do anything that can hurt us.”

She kissed his cheek then stepped out and

hurried inside. Tefo drove off headed to
Amara’a house. He called her minutes later.

“Tefo…”

“Where are you?”

“I am waiting for a cab to come to your house.”

“Where is your sister?”

“Uh… she’s on her way back to my house. She

had left.”

“Ok… I’m coming there. I need to talk to you

both..don’t tell her I’m coming. She probably
hates me.”

“She actually does.”

“Give me 8 minutes.”

“Ok.”
***

At Amara’a house, Maya parked her moments

later and walked inside the house. She looked
at her sister and took a deep breath.

“Hi.”

“We need to talk. I need to tell you something.”

“What?”

“I did something bad. I don’t know what took

over me. I think anger. I was so angry. I woke up
and Tefo had changed his profile picture on
Facebook.”
“I saw. It doesn’t matter though.”

“Listen.. I… I went to Tefo’s house. I took the

keys you had and went to his house. He had
just left. I spoke to the nanny who let me in
after I told her I wanted water.”

“Maya no…”

Tears filled her eyes. “I was just so angry so

when she went to fetch the water I suffocated
him.”

A car drove in outside. Amara’s heart skipped.

“Tefo! Tefo knows!”
She ran to the door to lock it but Tefo pushed it
open walking in.

“Hi.”

Maya looked at him freezing to her spot. Tefo

closed the door and locked it. Amara moved
back.

“I didn’t know! She just told me! I swear I didn’t

know!”

Tefo laughed. “You really think I believe that?

You had hours of practicing a better lie. That’s
all you could come up with?”

He glared at her. “Go and sit down. On the floor.

Both of you. We have a lot to talk about. I never
knew murder was your thing.”

His cold gaze weakened her knees. She looked

at him knowing shit was about to go down
clenching her butthole fearfully.

Osa looked at the police officer handling the
case.

“He said he was going to get water but I think

he went to that woman’s house. We need to
stop him if he has.”

Tefo’s uncle looked at Osa.

“But why would she kill an innocent baby or her

sister sent her?”

The police officer looked at them. “In such
cases you may be surprised f to find out that
the other sister didn’t even know about it.”

The uncle shook his head. Natefo stays in a

gated home. That woman had the keys and she
got them from her sister who obviously still had
them. I will call Tefo.”

He took out his phone and called Tefo. His

phone just rang till it stopped.

***

At Amara’a house, Amara sat on the floor with

her sister. Tefo looked at both of them then
looked at Amara.
“I know I hurt you. But he was just a baby or did
he do something to you?”

Amara blinked crying. “I’d never hurt a baby.

Hurting you wouldn’t have changed anything.”

Tefo sighed. “What would be your perfect

death?”

Amara started crying. “It was Maya. She’s just

telling me now what she did. I had nothing to do
with it Tefo I swear.”

Maya sniffed crying moving back. She slowly

took out her phone from her pocket staring
ahead. She slowly unlocked it with her finger.
Tefo walked over to her, Maya picked it up and
pressed her husband’s number calling him.
Tefo kicked the phone out of her hand that it hit
the wall. Amara stood up to run but Tefo pulled
her hair stepping on Maya’s hand making her
scream. Tefo wrapped his hand on Amara’s
neck.

“I was going to let you go…”

“Tefo-“

Tefo let go of her and took out a shortgun.

Amara swallowed.

“I got this a couple months back..nice isn’t it?”

Maya started crying.

“I did it! All alone. I killed him because you hurt
my sister. I killed him because I wanted you to
feel pain too. Let my sister go. Please…”

Amara’s phone started ringing. Amara looked at

Tefo.

“She will go to jail. She will confess what she

did to the police Tefo.. please.”

She knelt down crying.

“Please… don’t lose everything you have

worked hard for… don’t lose it for a sloppy
murderer that you will be found guilty of.”

Tefo nodded. “You are right. I have worked hard

to be here. I loved Junior so much.”

Tefo cocked his gun.

“She is going to hang herself. Akere people who

kill other people are hung. Get a rope and chair.
And if you think you are going to go and run
your mouth, your niece will be the next funeral
you attend.”

Maya shook his head as tests rolled down

Amara’s cheeks.

“Tefo… Tefo my daughter I-“

“I also had a son. The one you took away from

me. Thing is I don’t hurt kids. I deal with the
problem. The problem is you. Amara get a rope
or I just shoot the both of you, call it a day. I
have no child, my wife will take off the business
and I will go to prison where I have built
friendships. It’s not that bad.”

He pointed the gun at her. Amara got up crying

and got the skipping rope.

“And the chair.” Tefo looked at Amara.

Maya cried even louder.

“I will confess to the police. Please don’t hurt

me. I will report myself to the police. Please…”

“That’s an easy way out. I can’t have you alive

while my baby is dead.”

“I will report myself to the police please…

please… I will go to jail. I will report myself.”

“Nahh baby! That’s an easy way out. It’s either

you or her.”

Amara’s phone started ringing again. Tefo

looked at it then noticed his wife’s number.

The call cut then it rang again.. Tefo pulled

Amara and hit her with the back of the gun hard
that she collapsed. He pulled up Maya.

“I am not here to play games with you. You are

not getting out of this alive. Take your phone
and log in your Facebook. You are going to
write a long post confessing to your sins. How
you killed my baby and why. From there you will
write that you are ending your life because you
can’t love with the guilt.”

“Please I don’t want to die.”

“Neither did my son want to die.”

A while later Tefo walked out and drove off. His

phone rang.

“Hello?”
“Tefo it’s the police..o kae morena?”

“On my way there.”

“We hope you didn’t do anything you shouldn’t

have done.”

“Yeah… Did you watch the footage?”

“Yes, we are going to collect her together with

her sister.”

“Ok.”

He hung up and called Osa.

“Where are you?”

“At the police.”

“Let’s allow the police to do their job and start

planning the funeral.”

“Ok. Where are you?”

“Coming.”

She sniffed. “I was so worried.”

“I know.”

*
Minutes later Tefo stepped out of his car at the
police station. Osa walked over and looked at
him.

“Did you do something?”

“No.”

“If you did tell me so I’m well prepared for any

reveal.”

He kissed her. “Nothing.”

She looked in his eyes and hugged him. Tefo

held her tightly.
“I need to know if you are with me throughout
anything. I will not fault you if you choose to
walk away but do it now.”

She looked up at him. “I am not going

anywhere.”

Tefo kissed her. “Ok. I have called a lawyer

incase the police suspects me for Maya’s
suicide.”

He walked inside the police station leaving her

standing there in shock.

At Amara’a house, Amara woke up to someone

and touched her head but there was no blood.

Amara ran to the kitchen where she grabbed a

knife and pulled a stool from the kitchen. She
climbed the chair and cut the rope. Amaya fell
from the ceiling.

Amara jumped down and pulled her sister.

“Maya! Maya! Maya!”

She shook her hard crying.

“Maya!”

The knock persisted. She hurried to the door

and opened it. The police looked at her.

“Help me! My sister!”

They followed her in and looked at her sister

lying on the floor with the rope around her neck.
“I woke up and found her hanging from the
ceiling. Help me!”

Mmagwe Momo looked at Tefo’s aunt who had

just finished talking sitting next to her brother.

“What are you saying? Junior is dead?”

“Eemma. We are all devastated, especially Tefo.

We just wanted to tell you before you find out
through other people.”

“I don’t believe you. I gave Tefo that baby only

two days ago. 2! There is no way he can be
dead. I don’t believe you.”

The aunt sniffed. “Le rona rene resa dumele till

we went to the hospital.”

“What happened to him? That baby was healthy

when Tefo took him here! He was healthy, he
was not sick!”

“The police are doing investigations but

apparently one of Tefo’s ex girlfriends sent her
sister to come to the house and hurt the baby.
We are still trying to understand what really
happened but… right now all we know for sure is
that the baby is gone.”

Mmagwe Momo shook her head in disbelief. “In

the two days that Tefo had the baby, he already
died?!”

“No one wants to lose their child. Tefo didn’t

take his baby thinking he was going to get
murdered by a bitter woman. I don’t think any
parent ever intends on losing a child.”

“Tefo should have made sure that his baby was

protected at all costs. He should have just left
the baby here with me because he was safe.”

Tefo’s uncle looked at her. “Tefo took the baby

because that is his child. We didn’t anticipate
what happened today. We are here out of
respect, you cannot blame Tefo and I don’t like
your tone. Why didn’t you have the same energy
when your nerve almost killed Tefo? You could
keep quiet then and now you want to be the
loudest to talk?!”
Mmagwe Momo looked at him. “I am just
saying –“

“You are blaming Tefo for the death of his baby.

That’s rubbish!”

Tefo’s uncle stood up. “We are going. Re

heditse. We will keep you update on the funeral
arrangements.”

They walked out and got in their cars as Momo

walked through the gate. She looked at them
then walked inside the house.

“Where is Tefo mama?”

“Not here. They just came to tell me that Junior
is dead. Those people are very disrespectful.
Apparently Tefo’s ex killed the baby.”

Momo gasped. “What?”

“Yes. Why would anyone kill a baby?”

“Because Tefo married another woman behind

her back. That old want he married. Koore I
don’t understand just how desperate he was to
marry that old hag. Now look!”

Momo walked to her room and posted Junior’s

picture on Facebook with an RIP caption
knowing Bonolo was going to see it.
***

In London, Bonolo walked out from the

interview at the bookstore hoping she’d get the
job. She took a deep breath walking passing an
outdoor restaurant. She could smell the
delicious aroma, her stomach grumbled alerting
her that she hadn’t eaten as yet.

She quickly walked past going to her little room

a block away.

She walked inside and sat on her bed and

unlocked it then texted Gavin.

Bonolo: Just got back to my little corner, not

sure if they will hire me. I think they prefer a
white lady with blond hair.
Gavin immediately texted her back.

Gavin: They don’t deserve you.”

Bonolo laughed.

Bonolo: Yeah but bills need to be paid. And food

too.

Gavin: Knocking off. Food?

Bonolo: Please.

Gavin: I know I’m going to regret my decision

but you can move in. We both don’t gave to
worry because at least accommodation is fully
paid for.

She tearfully smiled. Her door opened then he

walked in holding the phone to his ear and food
the other hand.

“Care for some chicken?”

“Can I move now?”

He laughed. “Eat first. I spoke to a colleague of

mine. Her father owns a shop and they may
need a shop assistant.”

“I will take it.”

He laughed then say with her.

“You will go and see them tomorrow. Let me

get a drink. Will be right back. Dig in.”

Gavin hurried out. Bonolo picked the chicken

and started eating. Her mind wondered off to
Osa and Tefo then picked her phone and went
on Facebook. She searched his profile and his
new profile picture was still there. She stared at
Osa trying to find a flaw. She clicked her tongue
and thoughtfully searched for Momo.

The chicken lost It’s taste and she looked at

her recent post.

Her hands shook as she looked at her son’s

picture. The comments confirmed it..
Tears burnt her eyes as she rear Momo’s
comment about Tefo’s ex murdering the baby
because he got married behind her back.

A huge lump sat on her throat. Gavin walked

back in and looked at her.

“Are you ok?”

She tried to talk but tears rolled down her

cheeks.

He hurried over to her.

“Hey.. what’s wrong?”

“My… my… my sister’s son is dead.”

“Shit! I’m so sorry.”

Bonolo sobbed loudly. Gavin hugged her.

***

Amara watched as the police carried her

sister’s body out in a body bag trembling. She
could swear she was stuck in a very bad dream.

Her phone rang In her hand. She picked.

“You are going to jail –“

“Then your niece is next.”

“Tefo-“

“I will wipe out your entire family. Don’t

underestimate me.”

“You-“

“She killed my son. You sent your sister to kill

my son. I am still coming for you.”

He hung up. The police officer walked to her.

“You need to come with us to the police station

do we take your statement on both cases.”
“Maya wasn’t suicidal.”

“Maybe but your sister murdered a baby in cold

blood. She knew she was going to jail. She even
posted it on Facebook. Tota eight now we want
to find out your connection to the baby’s
murder.”

“My sister was killed by Tefo! He killed her!”

“So first you send your sister to murder his baby

then your sister kills herself she you accuse the
man who’s baby you murdered of the murder.
He’s been at the police station. And nothing
here suggests she was killed.”

“Tefo was here and he killed her. He came to

my house! He called me! Look…”

She opened her call log and showed them. “He

was here! He…he killed her! He murdered my
sister! You need to arrest him.”

The police officer looked at her.

“O ta re bulela ko police. Are tsamaye.”

“He killed her! He came here. He was angry

because Maya killed Junior and he thought I
had something to do with it.”

“We don’t know that. What we do know right

now is that your sister killed an innocent baby.
Are tsamaye so you can tell us exactly what
happened.”

“I didn’t know she’d kill him. Maya has a

daughter, she’d never end her life!”

“Kare o ta italosa ko police. Whether it’s suicide

or murder shall be determined later. Right now
our focus is understanding what happened to
Tefo Junior.”

Amara cried looking at him. “Tefo killed my

sister. He even had a gun.”

The police officer led her to the police van and

helped inside.

“You will have a chance to talk ko Police.”

***

Tefo walked inside his house later that day and

looked at the family members that had already
arrived. His oldest uncle stood up.
“I am really sorry my boy.”

“Eerra.”

“Yaanong what’s going to happen now that the

murderer has killed herself?”

“They are questioning her sister. She’s the one

who gave her the house keys. Re emetsi the
detectives.”

Osa walked from the bedroom wearing all black

with his aunts.

She looked at him imagining how he had killed

her. The fact that could end someone’s life and
carry on like it didn’t happen scared her. He
looked innocent, no one would ever suspect it.
She looked at him wondering just how far he
could take it. What else could he do.

She took a deep breath questioning if she really

wanted to get married to a murderer.

Tefo locked eyes with her then got closer. She

took a step back. “Ke go tsholele? (Should I dish
for you?)”

“Ke sharp. (I’m ok.)”

“You haven’t eaten. At least have juice.”

Tefo stared at her as she took another step

back. “Thanks.”

Osa walked to the kitchen. Her phone vibrated.

“Dineo gorileng? (Dineo what is it?)”

“Aoww mma? I just wanted to pass my

condolences. Tota it must be hard to have
something like this happen after your magadi.”

“We are ok.”

“At least he has you. Losing a child is not easy, I

have been there before. Some people are just
brave, I can do it all but not murder. Especially
murdering an innocent child. Mosadi ole ke
moloi (that woman is a witch) I am happy she
ended her life too.”

Osa took a deep breath. “They were angry. I

should have come earlier. I should have just
went to Nate’s house yesterday.”

“Osa don’t blame yourself.”

“I feel so guilty. I wish I had done things

differently.”

“Nyaa tsala. If it was his day to die then there

was nothing you could have done. Ke life tsala.
(It’s life friend.)”

Osa sniffed. “Yeah.”

“So you really married a man younger than you.
You really shocked me. Do you really think a
relationship that started the way yours did will
last? Kana mma this started with just sex. Gape
Tefo is just way too young. In 5 years to come,
you will be going towards your late forties ebile
menopause would be arriving. You think he will
still want you? You really believe that?”

“Can this be the last time you call me to discuss

my man?”

“I am not trying to make you feel any type of

way but you need to understand reality.
Kamoso Tefo will be all over with younger
women.. that’s the reality Osa. I am not jealous
but the truth is that you are too old for him. At
least if you were 5 years older but in your case
you are more than a decade older. How do you
really think this will work? When you are in your
fifties he will be what? Late thirties early forties.
This boy is yet going to make you cry. He is
going to grate your heart especially since he
doesn’t need anything from you. Not money,
nothing. Don’t forget just how hard it is for you
to get pregnant. He’s going to want children.
He may even get them outside. Akere he just
lost his son.”

“I don’t care. Whether he leaves or stays. Nate

knows everything about me, he chose me
knowingly. For the first time ever I chose myself
and no one is going to make me feel guilty. If it
doesn’t work then it’s fine. Also I don’t intend to
get married again after this if it fails. It might
not even lady that long but it’s fine.”

She hung up and turned bumping into Tefo. He

looked at her.

“Hey..”

“I am making you something to eat. I know you

don’t feel like eating but you need to.”

She moved from him. Tefo pulled her arm.

“Osa…”

“Yeah?”

Tefo pulled her into the small pantry.

“I don’t know what you are thinking but I didn’t

hang her. She did that herself.”

“You… I don’t want to know what happened..I

already know enough.”

“What is it? You are avoiding me.”

“What do you want me to say? I’m beginning to

question my decisions Natefo. Right now I’m
wondering what is going to happen if you get
arrested. The police already had evidence of…”

She lowered her voice. “The police had the

evidence to send that woman to jail. You didn’t
have to do anything. I don’t understand why you
would let anger control you. People are going to
laugh on my face after you get arrested. I just
can’t believe this is where I am today, married
to a murderer! What more can you do?”

Tefo silently looked at her. “Done?”

She looked at him tearfully. “I just…”

Tefo tilted her chin. “I told you earlier on that I

wouldn’t blame you for walking away didn’t I?”

A tear rolled down her cheek. “I love you.”

“I would never hurt you. I am not going to jail.

She committed suicide because she felt guilty.”

Tefo kissed her. “I am sorry I’m not perfect. I’m

not promising to be but I love you and I grateful
to have you here.”
Osa put her hand over mouth crying. Tefo
kissed her forehead then pulled her hand off her
mouth kidding her silencing those cries. He
kissed her so good Osa put her thighs together.
Tefo lifted her dress and put his hand inside her
panty touching her meaty p*ssy and rubbed get
clit.

Osa moved her head. “Tefo..”

“I want you now.”

“Your relatives… they are in the sitting room.”

Tefo went down and pulled her panty to the side

and looked her juicy p*ssy. He lifted her other
leg and leaned over lapping her p*ssy with his
mouth. He sucked on her like a calf feeding off
it’s mother. Osa closed her eyes, the situation
they were in didn’t allow what they were doing
but God it felt so good.

He moved his tongue on her as if he was

kissing her.

“Ahh… mhmmm..”

She grinded on his face curling her toes as her

nipples hardened.

Tefo got up and kissed her unzipping his pants

kissing her lips. He took out his hard veined dic.

Tefo curved his back and slid through her

closed p*ssy lips going inside. He squeezed her
breast sliding inside that warmth.

She felt so damn good he grunted in her ear.

Tefo’s aunt called for Osa in the kitchen.

“Osa! Osa!”

Tefo kissed Osa’s neck going further inside as

she hejd on to him enjoying that penetration.
She looked down and held her skin to watch go
on there. She closed her eyes as he went
further in. Her body vibrated at the pleasure.
Fuck she loved that dic so much

“Ssss ahhh…”
She sizzled holding on to him. Tefo grunted
squeezing her waist.

“Ah fuck! You feel so good baby..”

Tefo pulled her closer going deeper and begun

thrusting into her. He closed his eyes as that
pleasure made him forget everything in that
moment. He went harder unable to stop. It was
exactly what he needed. He moaned in her ear
enjoying just how tight and snug her p*ssy felt.
His body tingled, the pleasure doubling up.

Osa Osa rolled her eyes at the pleasure that

came with each thrust. That dic felt sweeter
than anything. Soo good. Every muscle in her
relaxed as she enjoyed him. Her body gen
tensing as she got closer.

Tefo’s aunt called out again.

“Osa where are you?”

Tefo carried on pounding into her. She pinched

him and screamed through her teeth convulsing.

Tefo’s aunt opened the pantry door and froze

then quickly closed the door.

Tefo carried on unable to stop as the pleasure

took over every part of him.

“Fuvk! Ahhhh!”
He groaned in her ear squeezing her body
offloading his seeds inside her.

Osa looked at him breathing heavily. Tefo

kissed her.

“O monate gore.”

She shyly smiled.

“I will wait for the food outside.”

She blinked weakly. “Eerra.”

He slid out and grabbed a tissue towel wiping

himself. He snapped her panty back in position
trapping his thick cum.

Osa watched him as he packed his dic on his

pants and walked out.

She walked out minutes later. Tefo’s aunt

walked in.

“Can you move your car. It’s blocking mine.”

Osa tried to avoid her eyes after what she had

just witnessed.

Outside Tefo looked at his uncle.

“I shouldn’t be planning for a funeral. I should
have been planning a vacation with Osa.”

“Life is unpredictable like that. But good thing is

that you have a wife on your side. Someone to
help you deal with the emotions. Someone you
can count on. That woman loves you. Don’t let
anyone, not even me come between you two.
She’s down to earth and very respectful. I have
seen how she talks to you and respects you, I
bet it feels nice. Next time you have a quickie
spray perfume or something. O nkga kuku.”

Tefo looked at him and laughed.

“I don’t know! I don’t know what she was

ete))"Kana the problem here is that you think we
are all stupid. Why would your sister just wake
up and think of killing an innocent baby if you
two didn’t talk about it?”

“I would never hurt Junior.”

“Natefo hurt you. He played with your heart to

go and marry another woman behind your back.
I understand where you are coming from. You
are angry, hurt and you probably feel betrayed.
While you cry, he continues with life he didn’t
just use you. I understand you.”

“I was angry but I would never hurt Junior. I

swear..I have nothing else to say. I have told my
truth.” She sniffed. “I know Tefo has cameras in
the house.. why would I send my sister knowing
she’d be caught? Maya was wrong to hurt
Tefo’s baby but Tefo killed her. Why are you
interviewing her?”

“Because this case is bring riled as suicide not

homicide. We have enough evidence at the
moment to believe she took her own life.”

“Tefo came to my house. He was angry!”

“He didn’t deny that. He came to talk to you. He

was angry but he didn’t stay long because he
knew he’d hurt you. He left your house and you
and your sister remained behind. Only you
should know what happened to your sister.”

“I want a lawyer. If I am not under arrest release

me. I didn’t do anything. Maya killed him not me.
I didn’t send her. I just lost my sister. I want to
go home.”

“Do you think we are in a movie here? You have

never been here before. When you leave, you
will tell others.”

She looked at him tearfully and out her head

down crying.

Momo called Tefo after dressing in appropriate

clothes for prayers.

His phone rang for a while then he picked.

“Hello?”
Momo frowned listening to a female voice.

“Uhu…who’s this? I need to talk to Tefo.”

“He is still busy at the moment. I will ask him to

call you.”

“Who is this?”

“Mrs David.”

Momo laughed. “Ehe… so because he paid your

magadi you now answer his calls? I didn’t know
that someone paying magadi made you a Mrs.
It’s a problem. You are so proud of yourself.”
Osa laughed. “I don’t have time for this. Find
somewhere else to play kiddo.”

Osa hung up. Momo called again minutes later.

“Maemo.”

She sighed. “Hi, what time are the prayers

starting?”

“Don’t come to my house of you think you are

going to give my wife an attitude. Ke ta go
betsa gore..just because I never did doesn’t
mean I can’t do it. O bata go ntwaela masepa!
Did I ever call you when you were running
around Gaborone sleeping with anything with a
few hundreds on pockets. O ta nyela Maemo
wa nkutwa?”
Momo took a deep breath. “I was just-“

“Keta go nyedisa gore! If you knew just how

much that woman was above you, you would
have dropped the call as soon as she picked.”

“I am sorry.”

“And don’t ever call me. The next you do it I will

handle your ass and you come to my house I’m
going to kill you. I will do what you failed to do
and dispose you correctly.

He dropped the call. Momo took a deep breath.

Her mother walked over.
“Let’s go.”

“I don’t think I should go after everything that’s

happened. It will look very disrespectful. Gape
the police advised me to stay away. You can
go.”

Momo walked to her room and sat down

holding her phone. Those threats hadn’t
sounded like a joke and she wasn’t going to test
him.

***

At Tefo’s house later that evening, Tefo opened

a message from a police officer then deleted it
sliding his phone in his pocket as their relatives
left. Osa walked over.
“Come and bath while I clear the house.”

Rragwe Osa walked over.

“Uh Tefo, can you drop off at the mall. The

driver is picking us up there.”

“Eerra.”

Osa looked at her father then at Tefo who

kissed her.

“I will come and help you clear the house.”

She lowered her voice. “Are you not tired. I ran

you a bath. I can drive him there.”

“We will bath together when I come back.”

Tefo walked out with Osa’s father they got in

his car. He reversed and drove off.

Rragwe Osa looked at him. “I never knew Osa

had this side of her. This side that is completely
in love with you. Maybe I never gave my
daughter a chance to really choose herself but
I’m happy she did it this time around. She looks
at you like you are the only that exists in her
world.”

“I also love her. Very much.”

“I may have failed my daughter before but this
time I will not. When you feel you don’t want her
anymore, it’s ok to leave her. If you hurt her, I
will make sure you never get it up ever again. If
you cheat on her or hurt her in any way, you will
never an erection for the rest of your life and
your weapon will smell so bad that no one will
want to ever come close to it..I promise you. My
daughter is fragile so treat her right.”

Tefo looked at him and smiled. “I can’t wait to

get home and fuvk the living shit out of her
because of this conversation.”

Rragwe Osa looked at him. “You what?”

“You heard me. Thank you for coming today.”

Rragwe Osa stared at him as he drove then
sighed. Tefo pulled over at the bus stop at
airport junction where the driver was already
waiting. Rragwe Osa stepped out then Tefo
drove back.

A message vibrated coming In from Amara.

Amara: I am sorry for your son. I truly didn’t

know that Maya would hurt him. I guess that’s
what working on your favor right now, the fact
that she killed him but I know you murdered her.
The police won’t believe it so I have to give it to
you, you are good. I hope her death amended
your broken heart. I hope it has lessened the
pain of losing your boy. Of not you can come
and finish me off.

Tefo angrily looked at her message then

thought of calling but that was too risky. She
was obviously trying to prove he killed Maya to
the police so the best thing at the moment was
to leave her. He’d deal with her at a later stage

***

Amara stared at her text, he hadn’t responded

as yet. He called him then pressed the record
button.

“Amara..”

“You have won Tefo.”

“Won what when my son is dead? I’m sorry your

sister took his life but I can’t sympathize with
you because she killed my son.”

“You killed her!”

“It’s the guilt that killed her. Not me. Look I have
to go. Also can we not talk? I’m in the process
of getting married and I don’t think
communicating with an ex is appropriate. Mrs
David wouldn’t like that..bye.”

He hung up. Amara angrily hit the air.

“Bastard!”

***

At Tefo’s house, Osa finished packing away the

dishes. Her phone rang then she turned looking
at her ex husband calling.

“What?”

“I never knew you would be this desperate –“

“Says the guy with a small dic. No wonder you

are an angry human being. There is no way you
can be happy with such a tiny thing. That thing
is embarrassing. I saw you bought that girl of
yours a car.” Osa laughed. “To compensate for
things you can’t do. I was there and next it’s the
abuse. Make her feel small so she wouldn’t
have the courage to leave. Bathong a dic that
you can’t even do woman on top on. You should
see my husband’s dic, it’s thick and long and
reaches all those places you can never reach in
your miserable life. And the orgasms that man
gives are out of this world. You don’t even know
the meaning of that word. How are you still
having sex?”

He hung up. Osa clicked her tongue and walked

outside where other relatives were cleaning out
the trash and joined them. His car drove in
moments later. She stood up right looking at
him as he stepped out of the car. A smile
covered her face was he walked over to her.

He put his hands on her waist and kissed her.

“Are you ok?”

She nodded. “Ng…”

“I don’t like that sound Mrs David.”

She smiled. “I am ok.”

His lips found hers again, she touched his chest.

“We are almost done. What did papa say?”

“Nothing much.”

She put her head on his chest then looked up at

him.

“I love you. I… I am not trying to put you under

pressure or to replace Junior. I’d never do that
but I know you would want kids and I have a
problem with getting pregnant. I don’t mind if
you want us to start trying now.”
Trgo picked her up and walked with her in the
house while the few relatives that were left
watched. He took her to the bedroom and put
her on the bed.

“I need you to stop overthinking. When the time

is right…you will get pregnant. You had trouble
with your ex but not with me. We will have our
two kids when we are ready. You have nothing
to be worried about. Ok?”

She nodded. Tefo pulled her to the ensuit

undressing her.

***

In London Bonolo refreshed Momo’s timeline

to see if she had posted anything but there was
nothing. Bonolo took a deep breath in..

Maybe Junior dying was for the best. Nothing

tied her to Tefo anymore. She was free from
him and she could move say she doesn’t have a
child without having to feel guilty about it.

Gavin walked in the house holding popcorn.

“Ready?”

She put down her phone and smiled. “Yes.”

He sat down next to her and played the movie

on Netflix. Bonolo relaxed, she looked at him.
Gavin turned to her but Bonolo quickly looked at
his laptop’s screen. He noticed her smile and
pulled her closer so she could watch properly.

Two Years Later…

In Maun, Osa chopped the veggies in the

kitchen at one of the David’s family members
home with other ladies, most of them
unmarried.

The unmarried ladies chatted between

themselves not really doing anything. One of
the married ladies washed two cups then took
out her phone pressing it.

An aunt walked in. “Ladies, let’s all work. The

bride is about to come back. Let’s work
together!”

The other married lady sighed. “I am going to

the bathroom.”

The aunt followed after her.

Osa continued chopping the veggies, her feet
ached so much she so badly wanted to take off
her heels and just relax.

The unmarried ladies chatted even louder.

“Ahh mma gongwe you never know, kana other

people are infertile.”

The other one laughed. “No, it’s the age. Kana

menopause le yone e kelemile. That’s what
happens when you marry young people. Soon
enough he will have had enough and he’s going
to go to someone who can give him a child. Nna
tota old woman always shock me. She will
know she’s way older and still find herself
chasing small boys. How does someone think
they can settle with someone do young while
she is so old. Yes she is pretty mara age yone
mma le yone.”

They all laughed. Osa looked over knowing they

were talking about her. She endured the same
thing almost every single time she attended an
event with the David’s.

Somehow it bothered her still. They were right,

she was struggling and it bothered her. She
tried to ignore them but their voices got louder.

“Mme ene what was he really thinking? Getting

an old lady as a wife?”

The other one laughed louder. “Men are funny

beings.”
They burst out laughing. Tears itched Osa’s
eyes. She blinked shaking. Her phone rang then
she took it out and looked at Tefo calling.

“Hey…”

She swallowed. “Hi.”

“Where are you?”

“In the kitchen.”

“What did I tell you about doing this? You are

not a servant. Tswa mo. I’m outside.”

“Nate if I don’t –“
“I didn’t marry you to be a servant. We are not
even close with this people. Come out.”

She put the knife down then washed her hands

and walked out. She blinked looking at him as
he walked over wearing a suit. He looked so
good , the fresh haircut made him look even
more handsome.

Tears blurred her eyes. They were right, he was

going to leave soon. It was only a matter of
time. The more she tried not to think about it
the more she did.

Tefo frowned looking at her glossy eyes. He

wrapped his arms around her.
“What’s wrong?”

“I want to go.”

He tilted get chin. “What happened?”

“I am not feeling well. I have a headache.”

“You are crying –“

“Please. You can remain. I want to go.”

Tefo kissed her lips. “Talk to me Mrs David.”

“Your relatives are talking about me. I feel

uncomfortable being here.”
“Who said what?”

“Your cousins were just talking about how old I

am and that menopause is catching up with
me.”

He kissed her. “You know that’s not true.”

“I can’t give you a child. I…” Something heavy

weighed on her chest. She sniffed. Tefo cupped
her face as she tried not to cry. “Maybe it’s the
age. I –“

He kissed her. “Mrs David…”

She looked at him tearfully. “Rra…”

“I look back and somehow you are the best
decision I have ever taken in my life so far. You
make everything better. We are not the usual
couple, I know and that’s what makes us unique.
I need you to stop listening to what people think.
My heart is here with you. Don’t ever forget
that.”

“What’s going to happen if I never get pregnant?

When I grow older. You are going to leave me.”

Tefo smiled and kissed her. “Says who? I need

you to stop letting people’s words get to you. I
will deal with them but those people have
multiple kids with different men that don’t
support their kids. You are way above them.
And we don’t have to come anymore.”
“I don’t want your family thinking I am keeping
you away from them.”

“My family is you.” He kissed her cheek then her

neck rolls. She still didn’t see it and it brought
him so much excitement.

“O jele?”

She shook her head.

“I need you to eat.”

“I am gaining weight. I am trying to reduce my

intake of food. I’m fat. I need to go back to the
gym.”
“I like you thick. You are not going on any diet. I
have your food in the car. Ta kwano.”

She followed him to the car. Tefo got in with her

then took her food. Her mouth watered as he
opened up the food then took the spoon and
started feeding her.

Osa opened her mouth eating. She could eat on

her own but the past few weeks he had made it
a habit to feed her.

She finished up then he handed her juice.

“Drink.”

“We should find a surrogate.”

“For what?”

“I haven’t seen my period Nate. Ke menopause.

I feel bloated too.”

He burst into laughter. Osa looked at him tears

filling her eyes then she put her hands on her
face crying.

Tefo pulled her closer.

“Why are you crying?”

“Wa go ntogela.”
“Why would I do that? Have I ever given you a
reason to think I would leave? Come here..”

She put the drink down and climbed over to him.

Tefo adjusted his seat so she could straddle
him. He hugged her.

“Babe I need you to stop crying. This is the third

cry of the day and it’s still korjiy. First it was
how you didn’t like how your dress looked in the
morning, you come here after I told to not come
without me and you allow empty headed people
to get to you and we are still crying even now. O
bata dic?”

She sniffed and nodded. He started the car and

slowly reversed while she sat on him. He
stopped then drove off and parked at the corner
of the street under a big tree. She pulled her
dress up. Tefo looked at her little bump that she
didn’t even see. Now he believed his people
always said it was hard to see what’s right in
front of you.

She was so focused on seeing the double lines

on a pregnancy tests that she could hardly feel
the changes in her body or even see it.

Tefo gently massaged her sensitive breasts.

She took it out from his pants already wet and
slid down on it. Tefo grunted as she went
further down.

Osa slowed down after the intense orgasm.

Tefo kissed her neck.
“I am going to have a word with my uncle.”

Osa remained still. Tefo kissed her forehead.

“Babe ..”

She kept quiet.

“Osa –“

“I am Mrs David.”

He smiled. “Mrs David…”

She looked at him shyly.

“Baby can I please get a new car?”

“Ok. Anything else?”

She blushed. “Ng..”

She leaned over and whispered in his ear. Tefo

smiled then chuckled.

“I can definitely get you that as well.”

She giggled then got off him. She wiped his dic
then put it back in his pants.

Momo delivered a came for a client. She walked
to her tiny Nissan March and got in. Her
business phone rang as she started the engine.

“Mo’s Delights hello?”

“Hi, you are speaking to Carol. My boss will be

back this evening, tomorrow it’s his wife’s
birthday and we need the cake then. Will it be
ready?”

“Yes.”

“Perfect. I need this to go perfectly.”

“You paid thousands for this cake, trust me I

will deliver.”

Carol laughed. “Thank you.”

“Waitse your boss must really love his wife.”

“This mam is ruthless in the office. There’s no

time to play when he’s around but when it
comes to her it’s like he becomes an a different
man. I will see you tomorrow.”

“Ok bye.”

She hung up and drove off. She slowed down

at a traffic light then turned her head. She
swallowed looking at Richard with a woman in
the car.
He looked just like Richard, she blinked recalling
just how he used to beat her. She took a deep
breath looking away.

***

Amara walked out of her new office. The new

promotion was just the new hope she needed
exactly. She walked to the parking lot and got in
her car.

She sighed knowing with the new salary she’d

soon be done paying it’s loan. She called a
number.

“Hey..”
“When are you coming back? I miss you.”

“I miss you too..I think tonight. She is not

feeling it anymore. She was even crying earlier
on.”

Amara laughed. “Kana this one likes attention.

You will come to my house?”

“Yes. As soon as I arrive. I love you.”

Amara smiled. “I love you too.”

She hung up then put down her phone. Sure

people were going to judge her but she loved
him and there was nothing she could do.
Yes he was her late sister’s husband but it was
too late to stop it now.

In Ireland, Bonolo stared at her phone for a

moment then looked at the engagement ring on
her finger.
Gavin walked from the bedroom holding his
stethoscope then kissed her.

“Are you ok?”

She turned to him cradling her bump.

“Yeah…”

“You don’t seem ok. What’s wrong?”

“I want us to get married but without my family.

I ran away from home. I haven’t spoken to them
on two years. I can’t just…” She sighed. “They
are still angry.”
“Why can’t your sister come? At least one
family member.”

“I told you I slept with her ex. Why would she

want to attend my wedding when I betrayed
her?”

“I hear you but reach out..it wouldn’t hurt to.

You never know. Maybe they miss you and have
forgiven the past. I will see you later.”

He kissed her and hurried out. Bonolo

thoughtful looked at her phone and finally
picked it up. She privatized her number calling
Maemo.

“Hello?”
Bonolo’s throat dried down.

“Hello?”

“Uh hey!”

“Who’s this?”

“Momo, it’s me.”

“Bonolo?”

Bonolo laughed. “Yeah. Hi.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“I just wanted to say hi. I’m engaged to be
married and I am pregnant.”

“I am waiting for my trial for bring an

accomplice to attempted murder. I may go to
jail for years and you call me to tell me you
really got away with it?”

“No! No! I just… I was just checking up on you.

Hasn’t Tefo forgiven you? Akere he’s now
married? Or you still wanted him? Momo I’m
sorry. I am sorry for sleeping with him. For
betraying you. I was young and… I had this
illusion in my mind of him loving me little did I
know he just never loved me. The signs were
always there when it was Osa and I with him. I
ignored it because I really liked Osa but I was
young and stupid.”
“You mean you were in a relationship with that
old woman and Tefo?”

“Sort of. It was mostly just sex with me, a little

bit more with Osa.”

Momo laughed. “You shared him?”

“Yes. We used to have threesomes.”

“Waitse Tefo ke mathata a motho. Then he

goes to marry her? Kante who told people a
relationship formed from sex will last?”

“Please forgive me.”

“I will only forgive you if you come back and

answer to the police.”

“Momo they will send me to jail.”

“And me? Does this fiancé of yours know what

a witch you are? By the way your son died! Or
you don’t care? Akere now you are carrying
another one?”

“I just wanted to say hi. Bye.”

She hung up and breathed out.

***

At the police station, Momo gave the phone

recording to the police. He listened then handed
her back her phone.

“Your cousin is still on the wanted list. The

moment she steps foot in Botswana we are
arresting her but we have engaged with the
British police and they are on the look out..”

“And me?”

“Kana your cousin being on the run doesn’t

make your case go away. You did help her
dispose Natefo David. He didn’t die but you
committed a crime.”

Tears filled her eyes. “I don’t want to go to jail.”

“I know. Just.. come.”

He walked with her outside and looked at her.

“I know a lawyer who can help you win this.

That’s all you can do for now. Other people are
waiting for trial locked up..you are outside
which is a good thing. These things sometimes
take years but you need to be prepared for it. I
know you have changed and you are trying to
better your life but crime is crime.”

She sniffed. “I don’t want to go to jail.”

“And you won’t.”

He smiled looking at her. He took out a p200

note from his pocket.
“Go and get ice cream..”

She chuckled tearfully taking it. “What does

your girlfriend say about you giving potential
criminals money Agage?”

Agage laughed. “There is no girlfriend and

potential criminals sometimes can be potential
wives. You never know.”

Momo giggled then walked to her car. She got

in and drove off.

***

At Sbrana Mental institution, Tumo walked out

holding his release forms. His lawyer looked at
him and smiled.

“Look who’s out?”

Tumo rubbed his eyes then laughed. “Shit it’s

over?”

His lawyer nodded bumping shoulders with him.

“Way over.”

“I was starting to feel crazy.”

“You did well.”

Tumo looked around taking a deep breath in.
He was finally out and free. His lawyer took out
a Nando’s paperbag.

“Here is food. Let’s go.”

Tumo laughed getting in the car. He opened the

paperbag inhaling the grilled chicken. His
lawyer looked at him.

“I managed to get your house cleaned up. You

have some money left to help you keep afloat
while you look for a job. I’d say try talking to
your brother. His company has grown so much
in the last two years, I am sure he can get you
something.”

“I haven’t seen him since the trial. I haven’t even

spoken to him. I think I just want to keep my
distance. Tefo doesn’t let go of things. It’s
always been his character.” Tumo breathed out.
“Growing up he was soft… but with rough edges
sometimes. He could make you believe
everything was ok..wait till you are relaxed then
attack. I hurt him so bad, first it was his money.
Right now my priority is paying him back.
Everything that belongs to him.”

“He has connections and makes more than

enough per day. He doesn’t need your money.”

“I just want to stay out of his way and start my

life from scratch. I need to pay him back.”

***
In Sir Seretse Khama International Airport later
day, Tefo held Osa’s hand walking with her to
the car. His phone vibrated then he took it out
and picked.

“Eita!”

“Uncle T, is mama with you?”

“Yeah what’s up?”

“Ke kopa madi bathong! Whoever said Canada

is nice lied. It’s not nice here ebile I’m hungry.”

Tefo laughed on the phone. “Didn’t I send you

money two weeks ago Prince? You need a job.”
“I have two jobs and school. Getting a masters
is not a joke, gape mojolo le one o bata madi.”

“Get a financially stable girl. I am sending you

something but use it wisely. Tomorrow morning
I need you to send your monthly budget. We
need to find a way to get you through the month.
O stressa mosadi wame monna!”

“That’s why I called you. Thank you so much.”

“Sure!”

Osa looked at him. “Baby we shouldn’t give him

more money because-“

“I know but let me handle him. Is that ok? You

can’t expect him to just learn when he grew up
getting everything. We don’t want him turning to
other ways of making money. Give me time to
teach him how to handle money the correct
way.”

“Eerra.”

He kissed her then put the bags in the car and

opened the door for her.

“Lewa is visiting today. Is that ok?”

“Yeah.”

Tefo drove them home. They walked inside the

house. Osa looked at her daughter and smiled.
“Who let you in?”

Lewa smiled. “The helper. She was still here. I

arrived minutes ago.”

Osa hugged her then Lewa looked at her

mother’s husband.

“Hi Uncle T.”

“Hey what’s up?”

She smiled. “Sepe.”

She walked over and hugged him then moved

back smiling more.

His phone rang. He walked out to the bedroom

picking. Lewa looked at his body then turned to
her mother.

“Is he going to the gym everyday?”

“Sort of.”

Lewa smiled. “I can see. How was the David’s!”

“Just fine. Did you eat?”

“No. Are you pregnant?”

“What?”

“You have gained weight.”

“I am going back to the gym.”

“I will make something to eat.”

“Let me put your bags in the bedroom.”

Lewa picked the bags walking to her mother’s

huge bedroom. She looked at her mother’s
wedding picture on the wall. Lewa’s eyes
moving to Tefo. It was still a shock to her that
her mother married such a young man.

Lewa turned as the door opened. Tefo called

out from the ensuit.

“Babe!”

Lewa turned listening to the shower. He called

her out again.

“Mrs David!”

Tefo stepped out shirtless then looked at her..

Lewa smiled. “It’s me.”

“Oh hey.. I thought it was your mom.”

Lewa looked at his broad chest then his six

pack. Whatever he was doing at the gym was
working because he looked so good. The
haircut sealed the deal. Her eyes went down to
that v-line then she smiled looking at him. “She
is cooking.”

“Can you call her for me?”

“What do you need help with? I can help you.”

Tefo laughed. “Thanks, but it needs your mom.”

She smiled looking at him. “I am a big girl..I can

help you, what did you need?”

“I am looking for my new shower gel.”

“I will help you look.”

Lewa bended over the dressing table opening

the drawers looking. Her hot pants showed her
butt cheeks as she checked.

Tefo looked at her.

“Lewa-“

She got up and walked over. “Let me help you.”

“I think your mom can do that just fine.”

She smiled. “I know. I just want to help. Nothing

much.”

She walked over to him and smiled. Osa opened

the door and walked in. Lewa stood up right and
smiled.

“I hope I’m not making you uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s here…”
She got closer, Tefo moved back. Lewa giggled
and opened the drawer behind him.

Osa walked in and looked at her daughter.

“What are you looking for?”

“Uncle T is looking for his shower gel.”

“It’s ok. I will find it. Go and finish up cooking.”

Lewa walked out. Osa looked at Tefo who was

shirtless.

“Why didn’t you call me?”

“I did. I thought it was you who had walked in
actually.”

“Where is your t-shirt?”

“I was about to take a shower.”

Osa walked in the bathroom and opened the

cabinet.

“It’s here. Babe do you think it’s appropriately

for you to be shirtless in front of her?”

“What?”

“You could have won your t-shirt.”

“I just told you I thought it was you. When I
stepped out I found her. What’s wrong?”

She shook her head. Tefo tilted her chin.

“What’s wrong?”

Osa took a deep breath. “I don’t think you

should be shirtless in front of Lewa. She notices
such things and she’s growing. I know she’s
turning into beautiful girl.”

“And?”

“I don’t want her to… she’s growing Nate and

her hormones are raging. She’s growing and
turning into a beautiful woman.”

“And you think I’d what? Sleep with your

daughter?”

“That’s not what I am saying.”

“Then what are you saying? Do you really think

it if were to cheat I’d do it with your daughter?”

“I didn’t say anything about cheating.”

“Then what are you saying? Ke bata o bua se o

se batang gose bua.”

“You are taking this the wrong way.”

“If you don’t think your daughter is safe around
me them maybe she shouldn’t be here. I see a
child when I look at her. She is your daughter,
why on earth would I look at her with any other
eye?”

She sighed noticing he was annoyed.

“Nate-“

“I would never touch your child. I’m kind of

disappointed that you…” He sighed and took the
shower gel and walked in the bathroom. Osa
followed him.

“Babe you are taking this the wrong way. I

just…”
“I need to bath. Can I have space.”

He stepped under the shower. Osa walked out

and breathed out. Tefo walked out minutes later
and started dressing.

“Wa kae?”

“I have a company to take care of.”

“I didn’t mean it that way babe. I’m sorry.”

Tefo finished dressing. “Bye. By the way I hope

you haven’t forgotten my business trip
tomorrow.”
He walked out. Osa followed after him sadly
then watched get in his car and drive off. Tefo
pressed his phone calling someone.

“Hi.”

“I am coming.”

“Now? I thought you’d come tomorrow. I-”

“Ke mo tsheleng right now. (I’m on my way.)”

“Ok.”

He hung up speeding away.

***

Osa walked back in the house and looked at her

daughter.

“You know your dad doesn’t like it when you

dress like that.”

Lewa laughed. “Because he uptight.”

“He is right. You need to dress more

appropriately especially if you are with people.”

“Uncle T is cool with it.”

“I know but it’s not ok. Apara sente.”

Lewa looked at her mother about to argue but
then smiled.

“Ok.”

She walked to the guest room carrying her

phone and sent Tefo a message.

Lewa: You think the way I dress is inappropriate?

I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable. Mama
just spoke to me.

She smiled as he read it then he typed.

Tefo: I’m glad she spoke to you.

Lewa: I hope you don’t think I’m naughty.

Tefo: No. You are ok.

Lewa called him.

“Yeah…”

“I overheard the argument. I know you’d never

look at me like that.”

“Lewa-“

“I will try and behave better. I’m sorry too.”

“It’s ok.”
“I love how you treat mama. I hope I get to meet
man like you in the future.”

“Maybe right your focus should be school.”

“Yes.”

“Good. Can what was happening today never

happen again? I’m not sure what you were
thinking but I’m your mom’s husband. I’m not
your father but I think you can try and look at
me as your mother’s husband. You are a child,
not mine but you are a child and I need you to
know your place in my house. If you can’t
respect that feel free to go your father’s
house.”
He hung up. He sounded so serious and firm it
was sexy. She smiled then undressed and put
on a dress.

***

Tumo walked inside his house smiling. He took

a deep breath. He looked around and most
things had been changed. He appreciated that
more. Tumo his phone and switched it on. He
took a deep breath and the only person he
could think of calking was Tefo.

He tapped his number calling him. It rang for a

while.

“Hello?”
Tumo swallowed. “hi. It’s me..I’m out.”

“Ok.”

“I am going to start paying you back your

money. I wronged you and I feel paying you
back is a start.”

“Don’t bother yourself.”

“Tefo-“

“You will pay for what you did. Don’t sorry about
it.”

He hung up. Tumo swallowed holding his phone.

Dineo walked out of the mall holding a plastic

with her new anti-aging products then jumped
in her car. She put her plastics down and took a
deep breath in starting her car. She turned her
head as a car parked next to hers. She took off
her sunglasses looking at Tefo in the car with a
girl. She laughed alone as the girl smiled at Tefo.
He stepped out with her. She was do light
skinned she almost looked like a colored and
had a very beautiful body. Dineo thoughtfully
took a picture and called Osa.

“Hi.”

“Hi, I don’t want to seem forward mma but I’m

seeing Tefo with a woman this side. I am at
Game City by the parking lot ya Spar. A very
light in complexion woman with an hour glass
body.”

“Dineo I don’t want-“

“I took a picture.”
Dineo hung up and sent Osa the picture then
drove off not really surprised. It was only a
matter of time.

She shook her head joining the road.

***

Osa viewed the picture and swallowed. She

thought of calling him but say what? She knew
better than to question him without sufficient
evidence.

She stood up then grabbed her car keys. Lewa

looked at her mother.
“Where are you going?”

“I am coming.”

Osa hurried out and jumped in her car then

drove off.

She stepped on the accelerator speeding to

Game City Mall.

Her heart pounded then she took a deep breath.

There was no way Tefo would ever cheat on her.
He loved her. He had never given him a reason
to doubt him. Not even once.

Hubby was committed to her, he had proved

that more than once. The possibility of him
cheating stole her joy.

She blinked driving through an amber traffic

light. A while later she drove through the mall
driving towards Spar. She slowed down looking
at the cars.

Osa ‘s heart skipped Asher eyes fell on Tefo

walking over to his car a woman while they both
held plastics of groceries.

Her heart pounded as she stared at them

laughing. Osa stopped her car and walked over.
Tefo noticed her as she hurried over. The
woman looked at her as well then at Tefo.

Osa hurried over breathing heavily.

“What’s going on?”

“Mrs David.”

“Who is this? I thought you were going to work.”

The lady looked around then stared walking

away with another plastic of groceries going to
the car. She opened the door to get in. Osa
pulled her hand.

“Who are you?!”

“Let go of me please.

Osa laughed like a mad woman. “Kare o mang?!

Ebile you are getting in my car?!”
“I am putting the things inside Mrs David-“

Osa pulled the plastics throwing on the ground

boiling. Tefo pulled her hand.

“Osa babe-“

“O seka wa ntswara! Who is this? So we have a

fight and you go to your side chicks? In a mall
so everyone can see?!”

“If you are not going to listen to me I’m leaving

you here.”

She pulled her hand and grabbed the woman’s

hand slapping her across the face.
The woman pushed Osa but Osa grabbed her
lace front wig. People gathered.

“O mang?!”

“Wa mpolaa!”

Osa slapped her again. The woman reached

over for her neck

Tefo picked his wife throwing her over his

shoulder. She kicked her legs.

“Put me down! Put me down!”

Tefo put her in car while people took out
phones.

“Babe stop… please stop. People are taking

videos. Please stop. It’s not what you think-“

“And what do I think Natefo? What do I think?! I

told you if ever you want to cheat on me, do it
far from me! You are roaming around with her
in the mall where people can see you making
me a laughing stock!” Tears burnt her eyes. “I
asked you respectfully to keep your shit far
away from me, wena o busy rekile grocery ya
masepa!”

“Babe-“

“Why at the mall? Buying her groceries?!”

She snatched the plastics he was holding
throwing them on the ground. She looked at the
baby deco and frowned as a sharp pain struck
he heart. Tears filled her eyes.

“Will you let me explain Mrs David?”

Osa walked away going to her car trying to hold

in her tears. She got in her car and drove off.

She swallowed thinking of just how she was

going to trend on Facebook when she could
have just walked away. She knew every rule of
marriage, how to deal with a cheating man but it
hurt more than anything she had ever felt
before.
She rubbed her eyes and continued driving. Her
phone rang.

“Natefo.”

“It’s not what you think. Please allow me to

explain.”

“You don’t have to..thank you for the last two

years. It’s been great but once you introduce
cheating it will never stop. I know. I have been
here before. I will never be enough. I know it,
you know it so…” She chuckled. “Its ok.”

“Mrs David. Will you let me explain?”

“I am not going to wait for any lies. I am not

going step mother a child born in my marriage.
I’d rather die lonely and miserable. Bye.”

Osa walked in her house going to the bedroom.

She sniffed putting her phone down. She sat
down shaking and put her hands on her face
crying.
Her phone rang non stop, she pressed her lips
together and looked at a colleague’s call.

She sniffed and picked it up. “Hello?”

“Mrs D wee, you are going right?”

“Where?”

“Thamma to the fund raising gala? The big guys

are coming..I know you love your husband but
come on…just one night.”

“I am not feeling well tonight.”

“Osa please. When last did you ever go out?”

Osa laughed. “I-“

“See. Come so we can drink free

shampompos.”

“What would I even wear?”

“Long evening gown. I will see you in an hour.”

She hung up. Osa stared at her phone. Staying

in the house meant her crying. She stood up
and walked to the bathroom where she
freshened up. She walked out moments later
and opened her wardrobe. She paused staring
at herself on the mirror.
She had more than gained weight. She needed
to go back to the gym and get her body back.
Osa looked at her evening gowns then reached
over to the one she had bought for her
anniversary for next month.

She took out her lingerie and heels then started

with her makeup.

Over an hour later, Osa finished styling her lace

front wig. She looked at the hairline that looked
so natural then smiled getting up.

She put on her evening gown and it hugged all

her curves. The backless back made her giggle.

Osa walked out of her bedroom after finishing.

Her daughter walked from the backyard and
smiled.

“Wow!”

Osa laughed. “I will see you later.”

“Ok.”

Osa walked to her car and jumped in. It was

over an hour and Tefo hadn’t bothered to call or
come to explain himself.

Osa took a deep breath. She wasn’t going to

allow her unfaithful husband ruin her night.”

She reversed out and drove off headed to the

conference center.

Osa parked her car with other beautiful cars

then lifted her gown and stepped out and
paused leaving her phone behind. She locked
her car and walked inside the conference center
walking on the red carpet while cameras
flashed at her.

Her colleague walked over. “Mrs D!”

Osa laughed. “Hi. I hope I look ok.”

“You look beautiful. Champagne is that side.”

Osa nodded then walked over to the bar. The
server handed her a glass.

“Thank you.”

“Hi..”

Osa turned and swallowed almost spilling her

drink looking at Lawrence.

He smiled. “I am beginning to question if your

beauty is witchcraft or what because you are
not aging.”

She smiled. “Hi.”

“You look beautiful.”

“Thank you. You too.”

“In this old thing?”

“You look quite handsome.

“How are you?”

“Ok, you?”

“I am happy now that I’m seeing you.”

Osa smiled. “I have to go.”

Lawrence pulled her by her waist. “You just got

here… I’m not going to kidnap you or hurt you. I
accepted my loss long back.”

“I am sorry-“

“You don’t have to be sorry. You followed your

heart. Take pride in your decisions. I never
would hate you for it. How is married life?”

She looked at him and swallowed. “It has it’s

ups and downs as usual.”

“I know but he must be treating you well. You

are kind of a rare diamond.”

Tesrs itched Osa’s eyes then she swallowed.

“Yeah.”
“Osa..”

“I need to go.”

“I am not your enemy. Trust me.”

Tears filled her eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“He is cheating.”

Lawrence took the glass of champagne and

walked with her to an elevator. It took them up
to another floor then he took her hand leading
her to a balcony.

Osa sniffed. “I am sorry, I just…I just found out.”

“I know. And it’s ok to cry and feel sad.”

He hugged her.

***

Tefo walked from the hotel after the set up was

done going to his car. He picked his ringing
phone getting in the car.

“Malome..”
“Tefo there is a video on Facebook. You
cheated on your wife when I spoke to you just
today?!”

“I have been planning a small party for Osa. It

was supposed to be tomorrow but after what
happened today I thought I’d do it today instead.
I went to pick up the event planner and she
needed a few things, she didn’t have a car do I
drove to the mall with her. From there Osa
came from nowhere and just attacked. She
wouldn’t let me talk. I have nothing to hide
neither do I have a reason to cheat on my
pregnant wife. I’m going to pick her up and we
will go to the venue, her colleagues and cousins
have started to arrive. The things we had gotten
where for the baby deco. I think I’m just going to
tell her because she thinks I impregnated
another woman.”
“I believe you. I hope you reassure her.”

“I will.”

He hung up and called her driving home. The

phone just rang till it stopped.

He called her again but she still didn’t pick.

***

At the gala, Osa finished her first glass of

champagne laughing with Lawrence.

“I am sorry you sent through that.”

Lawrence chuckled. “Don’t laugh. I prayed for
you to come back to me. I think God must have
just clicked his tongue after my prayer.”

She smiled feeling a little light headed. “I am

sorry.”

“I want to say he doesn’t deserve you but…you

don’t deserve how is treating you.”

Osa looked at him. “Maybe there is an

explanation. He..”

“If he truly loved you, hurting you would be the

last thing he’d ever think of doing.”

She looked down. Lawrence cupped her face.

“I am really sorry.”

She blinked. Lawrence leaned closer to her lips

and kissed her.

Tefo walked inside the house. Lewa looked at
him and smiled getting up. Tefo looked at her.

“Where is your mom?”

“She went out.”

Tefo walked to the bedroom calling her but she

still didn’t pick. He took a deep breath sending
her message.

Tefo: Hey, please let’s talk. O kae?

Tefo inhaled her fragrance walking inside their

bedroom. She had left dome of her makeup
lying around. Tefo rubbed his forehead sending
another message.
Tefo: Mrs David it’s not what you think babe. I
promise you. I just need you to give me a
chance to explain myself. I am not cheating.

He waited for response but she didn’t pick. Tefo

called her PA.

“Mrs David’s office, good evening, how can I

help you?”

“Hi. Ke Mr. David.”

“Oh, evening. How are you?”

“I am good. Where is my wife?”

“Uh, her schedule shows o ko lapeng but I just
got informed that she went to fundraising gala
at the Main conference center.”

“Ok thanks.”

Tefo hung up and walked out. Lewa fixed her

short dress.

“I am stepping out. Don’t bring men into my

house.”

He walked to his car and jumped in without

even giving her a second glance. Tefo reversed
and sped off.

*
At the Gala, Tefo walked in and looked at the
guests. He sure didn’t look the party but it didn’t
matter because he wasn’t there to stay.

He noticed a few faces and waved before

proceeding to one of the servers.

“Hi, I’m looking for her.”

He showed her his screensaver. “Have you

seem her tonight?”

“Uh yes but I don’t know where she is.”

Tefo moved around the crowd trying to locate

her. He stopped another server and showed her
the picture.

“Have you seen her?”

“Yes, she just left. You should find her at the

parking lot.”

“Thanks.”

Tefo hurried out calling her as the MC took the

microphone and started talking pulling the
business men and women together.

Tefo looked around the parking lot trying to

locate her car. He turned and watched as the
Range Rover drove off following after another
car. Tefo called her running to his car trying to
stop her but she joined the road and sped off.
He got in his and stepped on the accelerator
speeding after her.

At a hotel at CBD, Osa parked her car next to

Lawrence then stepped out smiling.

“Show me quickly so I can go back.”

“Don’t ever say I don’t tell you secrets. It’s in my

room.”

Osa smiled. “Let’s go. They had started at the

gala. I need to get back.”
“Do you really want to listen to the boring
speeches?”

He got closer. “It’s boring, trust me.”

“I know but –“

“After I show you this proposal let’s watch a

movie. Something funny. A comedy.”

“I can’t Lawrence. I shouldn’t even be with you.

If it weren’t that I want to copy your business
ideas I wouldn’t be here.”

He laughed. “O dangerous.”

She sighed. “I love-“

“Love him? I know. And it’s ok.”

“And I left my phone in the car. He is calling.

Every couple goes through something like this. I
don’t what to… two wrongs don’t make a right. I
need to go and handle the issue.”

Lawrence got even closer. “He can wait.”

“Lawrence-“

He kissed her. Car lights flashed at them then

Tefo stepped out of his car. Osa turned and
swallowed, her heart leaping.

“Babe-“
Tefo clenched his jaws. Lawrence looked at him.
Tefo walked over and punched him seething
with anger. Osa jumped screaming.

“Nate babe –“

Lawrence staggered back and punched Tefo

back putting his military skills. He punched Tefo
‘s lower jaw that Tefo moved back trying to find
balance. Lawrence pulled him punching him
again, every punch stronger than the previous
one. He hit Tefo in stomach and kicked him not
giving him a chance to recover.

“Stop! Lawrence stop! Stop!”

He moved back. “This boy wa ntwaela!”

The hotel’s security guards rushed over then
pulled Tefo back as he spat out blood.

Tears filled Osa’s eyes. “Babe…. Nate…”

She walked over and touched him.

“You need the hospital.”

The other security guard looked at Osa then at

Lawrence and shook his head. He helped Tefo
with his colleague to his car.

“Osa-“
“Let go of me. I shouldn’t have kissed you. It
was a mistake..I regret it with all in me. I love
my husband and we are going to work this out.”

“He cheated on you.”

“So?”

Osa took off her heels walking behind the

security guys. Tefo stopped walking and took
off his t-shirt wiping the blood on his mouth.
Osa tearfully looked at him.

“That was a mistake.”

Tefo blinked looking at her. He swallowed then

staggered to his car. Osa burst into tears
pulling him back.

“Tefo I am sorry. It was just that… I swear baby.

I…-“

“Its ok.”

She stopped crying. He smiled then spat out

blood.

“Tefo-“

“Its ok. You can stay. If not your family and

friends are waiting for you at Sky hotel. I
thought I’d do something for you today. The
lady you hit earlier on was just an event planner
trying to work against time. She’s not angry.
She fully understands, she will release a
statement tomorrow because of what’s
happening on social media. I also think your
daughter is trying to hit on me or something. I
don’t know but she’s making me uncomfortable.
Please try to use a condom if you are going to
sleep with him. Don’t bring diseases into our
marriage or infect the baby you are carrying.
Some diseases can be transferred through
kissing so maybe tomorrow you two may go for
testing tomorrow morning after you are done
here. Bye. I love you.”

He kissed her cheek and got In his car then

drove off.

Osa swallowed shaking, his calmness left her

unsettled. She turned and looked at Lawrence
who sighed.

“He started the fight.”

“You…”

Osa walked to her car pressing the key. She

frowned realizing she was pointing at the wrong
car as her car beeped behind her. Lawrence
stopped her.

“Let him cool down. He is too calm, he will kill

you.”

Tears rolled down her cheeks. “What have I

done?”

“It was just a kiss.”

“I cheated on him!”

“More reason to give him space.”

Osa walked past him and got in her car.

“Osa-“

“What happened was the biggest mistake ever!

Bye.”

Osa got in the car and drove off. She picked her
phone and there were so many missed calls
from him. She stopped at a traffic light crying.

She knew men processed cheating differently.

Chances of him forgiving her were close to
none. She drove home and looked at his car.
Osa parked next to him and hurried inside.

She went to their bedroom and he was

undressing.
“Nate –“

He looked at her. “I think you should call your

cousin. They are still waiting for you. Cancel.”

“That kiss just happened. It was a mistake. I

regret it. I swear I do.”

“Don’t stress about it. Stress is not good for the

baby.”

“I am not pregnant. I’m just fat.”

He got up and walked to the bathroom. “You

are pregnant. Look at yourself on the mirror.”

He walked inside. Osa turned to the mirror. She

took off her dress then looked at herself
carefully.. she touched her breasts, they were a
bit bigger and sensitive. She tried pressing her
tummy but it was hard.

Osa walked closer to the mirror, her heart

racing. She turned to her side and there it was

She gasoedy in shock putting her hand over her

mouth.

She turned to the other side then put her hands

on her face sobbing. Tefo freshened up and
walked out. He put on his pyjamas and smiled.

“Thank you for this. I’ve been wanting to tell you

for a while now. You were so focused on trying
to get pregnant that you didn’t see it all along.”
He smiled happily looking at her. “Thank you for
such a gift.”

Osa turned to him. “I am sorry…”

“It’s ok. I am going to handle that deal in SA

from there I’m going to Barcelona. I need to
land both deals. And it’s ok because should you
decide to have sex with him, at least I don’t
have to witness you and him. If you want a
divorce I’m ready.”

She looked at him, her mouth dropping open.

“What? Tefo it was-“

“Don’t stress yourself. It’s ok. I am sleeping. I
have a hectic day tomorrow.”

“I went to the Gala and that’s where I saw him.

We chatted and… I wasn’t thinking straight. He
was going to show me the proposal he made to
a mine at his hotel room. That’s all. He kissed
me, I froze.”

Tefo got under the duvet. “Ok. Call your cousin.”

She walked to the bed and touched him. “Babe-“

“Good night. Ke lapile Osa.”

He laid down closing his eyes. She sniffed

looking at him then undressed and walked to
the bathroom.

She stepped out a while later and sent her

cousin a message to alert her that she wasn’t
going to make it. There was no way she was
going to attend a party when her house was on
fire.

She got in bed and touched him.

“Nate-“

“Don’t touch me. I want you sleep.”

She retracted and sadly states at his back.

*
The following morning, Osa finished making
breakfast. She looked at her daughter who was
just walking in.

“Your uncle is on his way to pick you up.”

Lewa frowned. “Why?”

“There are things I need to fix out in the house

and I can’t do them in front of you.”

“Uncle T cheating on you? You are on

Facebook!”

“He wasn’t cheating. I overreacted. That’s an

event planner. He was trying to surprise me and
I ruined it. I made a lot of bad decisions
yesterday and I need to fix things.”

“I really like uncle T.”

She looked at her daughter. “I know you like him.

Sweetie I hope you understand that I really
really love him. You are growing, you see things
and you want some of them. I understand. I
love uncle T and that’s why I married him. I
know you question it because I’m older but he’s
taught me that love doesn’t have age
restrictions. Losing him would more than just
break my heart. I hope you understand that.”

Tefo walked from their bedroom with his bag.

Osa’s face lit up. Lewa disappeared giving
them space.
“Breakfast is ready..let me dish for you.”

“I have to go. You can have it. I will see you

when I get back.”

Osa stood in front of him. “Tefo we can fix this

baby. I don’t want you going upset.”

“I am not upset. Take care of my baby because

should anything happen to that baby then we
are going to have a problem. A big problem.
That’s why I told you to use a condom.”

“I wasn’t going to sleep with him.”

“I don’t know about that. I will see you.”

He walked out.

Amara watched the Facebook video in the

morning and laughed. She looked at Osa yelling
throwing things on the ground.

Anyone could have sworn their relationship

would be perfect after the way they got married.

She went to Tefo’s profile and he hadn’t said

anything. Not that she expected him to.

She smiled sending her friend who had just

forwarded her the link over Whatsapp.
Amara: ke happy gore 😂 ebile I hope she leaves
Her friend replied after a while.

Friend: I long saw it coming.

Amara: 😂😂 his karma for hurting me is still

coming.

Friend: That woman will probably forgive him.

She’s even just updated her profile picture and
it’s her and him.

Amara laughed.
Amara: She is that type 🙄
She continued chatting with her friend. A car
parked outside then her sister’s husband
walked in. He walked in her bedroom and
smiled holding her breakfast.

“Hey..”

Amara smiled and sat upright. He leaned over

and kissed her as they both giggled.

At the airport, Tefo called his lawyer.

“Tefo..”
“Hi. Osa and I might end up divorcing..I need
you to be ready for it.”

“Why? She wants a divorce over what happened

yesterday?”

“No. That was a misunderstanding. I think she

might want to go back to her ex. I just need to
be ready. We got married out of community of
property so I want things to be fast if that’s the
route she chooses to take.”

“Ok. But Tefo if you can work it out, work it out.

Marriage is a lot of work.”

“I know but… I’ve only ever loved her. So much, I

told her I’d treat her right. I have tried to make
her happy all the time. I have always chosen her.
Give her the options. She can walk away if she
wants to.”

“You understand that even though you are

married out of community of property you
signed the marital-“

“I will take care of her. I will always take care of

Osa because she’s the love of my life. She’s
doesn’t need to be with me for that to happen.”

Osa picked a call in her bedroom.

“Hello?”

“Hi, it’s Tefo’s lawyer.”

“Oh hi.”

“I don’t want to pry but I really love the impact

you have had on your husband. He just called
me talking about a possible divorce. It’s only
been two years, I have seen you and Tefo and I
know you two love each other. Matter of fact I
know he loves you too with everything in him. If
you knew the plans he’s made for you in the
future. Don’t let little girls take that away from
you. There is always going to be someone or a
challenge. We both know marriage is not a bed
of roses and strawberries. It’s hard but
sometimes you have to fight for what you love.
Tefo is dramatic, you can tame him down.
Gatwe you might want your ex. No one will love
you the way Tefo loves you Osa.”

Osa sighed. “I overreacted yesterday. The event

planner just sent me screenshots of her
conversation with Nate yesterday. I was
stressed and I went to the Fund raising Gala
where I bumped into my ex. I made poor
decisions and agreed to go and see the
proposal he had worked on for a mine..it was at
his hotel room. Nate found us by the parking lot
and Lawrence was kissing me.”

“He is hurting but you can make this right. The

problem is allowing him to go without fixing it.
He’s going to overthink it and when he comes
back wa go pega divorce. What are you still
doing here? Clear your schedule le wena o
tsamaye. Don’t let this kiss or whatever it is be
the reason you get served.”

Osa took a deep breath. “Ok.”

“By the way congratulations on the baby. You

are lucky to have that baby. I think the baby
saved you lots of slaps.”
Osa laughed. “Eii mma, I was so scared he was
going to hit me.”

“Go after your man. I have a lot on my plate, a

divorce is not something I want to be handling
right now.”

Osa laughed. “I was going to contest it.”

“And that’s more work for me. Fix things with

your husband and we can all move on. Bye.”

She hung up. Osa quickly changed her clothes

then grabbed her handbag and traveling
documents. She looked at the time and called
her PA rushing out
“Osa..”

“Hi, what time is the morning flight to SA

leaving? And can you call them and get me a
plastic minute ticket if there’s time.”

“Its leaving in about 30 minutes. I am not sure if

we can get you a ticket this hour.”

“Try. I am going to the airport.”

Osa unlocked her car and jumped in. She

pressed the gate remote and drove off calling
her aunt to collect her daughter later from the
movies.
Osa sped off headed to the airport, her heart
racing. She drove through a red traffic light, her
foot pressed down on the accelerator glad there
was no traffic.

The airport was at least 20 minutes away from

her house but she was targeting way less.

She looked at the speedometer then looked at

the road overtaking two cars in a row. Her PA
called her minutes later.

“Tell me something good.”

“There is a small delay with the flight as usual

so I managed to get you a seat.”
“Thank you. Thank you so much. You will come
and collect the car right?”

“Eemma, be there in the next 10 minutes.”

“Ok.”

“Accommodation?”

“Its ok, I will be with my husband.”

“Ok.”

Osa dropped the call and picked an incoming

call from an unsaved number.
“Osa David hello?”

“Ke Lawrence.”

“Please don’t call me.”

“Are you ok?”

“I am fine.”

“Did he hurt you?”

“Why would he?”

“After yesterday –“
“My husband and I are working through things.”

“Do you really believe that statement that

woman made?”

“Yes. And I know I did this but please take a

step back from the issues in my marriage.
They’ve hit nothing to do with you. My husband
and I going to remain together. Nothing is going
to change that.”

“Osa this guy is young and he-“

“This guy is my husband. My ring is not for

decoration. Ke nyetswi. This young guy is my
husband and his age is nothing because when it
comes to his duties as the man of the house, he
delivers. Let’s stop the disrespect. You got
whatever you wanted yesterday after hitting him.
Revenge or whatever you want to call it. Now
move on.”

Osa hung up and minutes later parked at the

airport. She rushed inside.

Tefo took his seat in the plane annoyed at the

delay. More passengers got in. Tefo waited,
minutes later the flight attendant stood in front
of them.

A passenger stood behind her.

“Excuse me..”
Tefo turned his head and frowned looking at his
wife. Osa walked over and sat next to him
breathing heavily almost wheezing.

“What are you doing?”

“Ke tsamaya le wena.”

“To do what?”

“To be with you.”

“Wa ntester akere?”

She put on her seatbelt then pulled his clicking

it in.

“I am going with you. I am going to earn your

forgiveness. I went out of line and I am sorry. I
am going to apologize for it till the last day.”

“You want to me to hurt you?”

“Do whatever that you feel is the right

punishment for how I disrespected you but I’m
going with you.”

He glared at her. Hubby looked so pissed she

knew it wasn’t going to be nice but she wasn’t
leaving.

The way he looked at her scared her but this

man was hers and she was going to make
things right. Osa kissed him. Her heart almost
jumped as he involuntary kissed her back
immediately.

He pulled away. Osa held his hand.

“We are not divorcing.. nna kea gana.”

Over an hour later, the plane touched down at

OR Tambo. Osa took a deep breath as they
stepped out. Tefo looked at her morning flops,
Osa looked down noticing them.

“I left in a hurry.”

He kept quiet walking. Osa tried to keep up with

him but he was moving fast. Tefo turned
noticing she was running after him.

He pulled her hand and walked with her.

Osa swallowed. “Ke kopa di aparo.”

“Where were you going? I’m here to work-“

“It’s fine. I will wear yours.”

They went through customs then finally walked

with other passengers headed to the arrival
gate.

A white man walked over to them.

“Mr David.”

“Andrew..this is my wife, Mrs David.”

Osa smiled. She always got goosebumps

whenever he introduced her.

“Hi, nice to meet you Mrs David.”

“Likewise.”

They walked out to a car outside. Andrew drive

them to a hotel.

They walked inside their hotel room. Tefo

looked at Osa as she smiled walking to the
balcony. He walked to the bathroom then
walked out minutes later.

“Ta kwano.”
Osa walked over..”Rra..”

“Keng o ntwaela Osa?”

She swallowed. “Baby I’m sorry –“

“I asked you a question. O ntwaetswa keng?”

“Sepe.”

“So what were you doing yesterday? Even if I

were cheating, you wanted to compete with
me?”

“Nyarra.”
“So what were you trying to do yesterday? What
were you doing at the hotel?”

“I was going to see a document he had. I wasn’t

going there to do anything other than that. I was
eating and I am sorry.”

“Osa do you think I am stupid?”

“Baby I am not lying. I swear. He said he had a

proposal that he had made for Debswana. I
have been trying to get Debswana on board for
a while so I was going to get pointers. I was
wrong. Ga ke Gane. I was wrong.”

“Ke ta go clapa kana Osa.”

Her voice shook. “I know. Whatever you do
please don’t hurt the baby or my face. You can
touch anywhere else. I was hurting yesterday.
After I saw the plastics with the baby things I
was broken I won’t lie. I had three glasses of
champagne and he was telling me about the
proposal. I thought he had a soft copy then he
said it was at the hotel room. I was going to go
and see it then come back to the gala. I am
sorry Nate. Please forgive me.”

He looked at her tears as she spoke. He took a

step closer.

She blocked her face crying.

“Undress.”
She sniffed looking at him. “Rra?”

“Undress.”

She wiped her tears then undressed and stood

in the middle of the room naked.

Tefo grabbed her neck. “After today you will

never try that little stunt you did yesterday. You
will listen when I tell you to listen and answer
my calls when I call you.”

She took a deep breath looking at him. Tefo

kissed her and #removed.

.
Osa held on to the door and Tefo hammered
her mercilessly from behind. She could swear
he wanted her to lose the baby at the rate he
was going. Tears burnt her eyes as she tried to
take it like a big girl but he fucked even harder
that she could feel her p*ssy burn and ache with
each thrust.

“Tefo! Baby I’m sorry! I am sorry!”

He grabbed her back making her arch her butt.

Tefo trapped her against and #removed.

.
Tefo finally slid out and after offloading his fun
inside her while she laid on the bed on her
stomach. He moved back and walked to the
bathroom without a word.

Osa curled her body into a ball crying silently.

Tefo walked out a while later and put on a suit
while she sniffed on the bed.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Nothing.”

“Is nothing food?”

She looked at him tearfully. “O bata kereng? I

am not hungry.” She paused then started crying.
Tefo looked at her guiltily as she sobbed. He
pulled her by her leg and turned her around.

“I am not going to apologize for putting you in

line. You are my wife and I will never hit you but
I will put you in line if I have to. Wa nkutwa Mrs
David?”

“Yes.”

“Good. I love you. I love you so much.”

She sniffed. “I love you too.”

“I am going to attend to my meeting and I will

see you later. What do you want to eat?”
Osa sniffed. “I will eat when you get back.”

“Ok.”

Tefo kisser her and walked out. Osa turned

lying on her stomach sniffing.

***

In Gaborone, Momo parked at Tefo’s company..

she smiled looking up at the four storey building.
She took the cake from her boot and walked
inside the company. The lady she had been
talking to walked over.

“Hi, Maemo right?”

“Eemma.”

“It’s the cake? Kana that cake was for my

boss’s wife. I just found out this morning that
she traveled with him to his trip. He’s even
added a trip to London as a gift to her. I’m busy
right now planning for it because she also
needs clothes.”

“Your boss Tefo?”

“Yes, Mr David.”

Momo smiled. “Before he met Osa, he was my

boyfriend of three years.”
Tefo’s PA looked at her then burst out laughing.
“Nyaa mma, if you have slept with him before
just say that. We know his ex, the baby mama
who ran off.”

“I was dating Tefo when he was a filling station

attendant. I dumped him by mistake then Osa
took him. He agreed because she had money.”

“Oh well, good for her because now she’s

married to a rich man. She’s the most spoilt
woman of all time.”

Momo faked a smile.

“I think it was God’s plan.”

“To lose a man who was headed for the gold ?
Ng Ng mma, that was the devil.”

“Akere he is still cheating on her. Tefo was my

man. I used to dress him from head to toe. He
used to worship the ground I walked on. If it
wasn’t for me he wouldn’t be here today. I am
the one that pushed Tefo into being the man he
has become.”

“Mrs D thought he was cheating but that was

just an event planner for her event lady night.
Mr David planned a surprise for her. Anyways
you making him is only known by you.”

“Mme kana I am telling you. Tota Osa is living

the life I should have been living. I am the one
that pushed Tefo into being a hard worker.”
The PA stared at her and laughed.

“Ijo mma bring the cake so we eat it.”

Momo followed her passing the smartly

dressed employees.

Momo walked inside the house later that day
talking to her friend on the phone.

“Kana tsala people don’t believe I once dated

Tefo.”

Bontle sighed annoyed. “Momo can you leave

that man alone?”

“I know he had moved on but lenna I once dated

Tefo.”

“So?”

“His PA wouldn’t believe me.”

“Because you dating Tefo is irrelevant. Focus
on baking cakes o tswe mogo Tefo. That man
moved on. He is now happily married.”

“If I didn’t leave him he-“

“You left him. You were chasing the greener

pastures. You messed up and that’s life. Focus
on your relationship. For once don’t have
ridiculous standards. Keno is a good man.”

“I know, I was just saying. I kind of made Tefo.”

“Leave Natefo alone and stop embarrassing

yourself. I am sure they are still laughing at you
at his company. Kana those people are
sophisticated people. People with class and
very high paying jobs. Degree holders and wena
you just embarrassed yourself unnecessarily.
When did you start being bitter? Because Tefo
is making lots of money? His wife can afford
herself as well. You didn’t make Tefo. He made
himself. He worked hard to be where he is
today. Started with one taxi and he held on till
today. You would have left him right to the pits
if he remained with you. La lapisa kwa mxm!”

Bontle hung up. Momo clicked her tongue

holding her phone.

Tumo walked aisle by aisle putting his groceries

in the trolley. He finally pushed it to the till. The
woman in front of him turned and noticed him.
“Hi..”

Tumo looked at her and laughed looking at his

primary school classmate.

“Hey!”

Gee laughed then hugged him. “I didn’t expect

to see you. How are you?”

“I am fine you? You look beautiful.”

Her smiled. “Thanks. You are out?”

He nodded. “Yeah. It’s been a day now.”

Gee giggled. “O kae Tefo?”

“Uh around. He’s doing great fit himself.”

“I saw him the other day mo BTV. He’s grown.

The lil kid who used to shit his pants.”

They both laughed.

“Don’t remind him of that.”

“Does he still have that temper?”

“Yeah actually he does. You look really

beautiful.”
Gee took out her business card and handed it to
him.

“Call me.”

Tumo took it smiling while she paid then

walked out. He laughed alone then put his
groceries on the cashier’s counter.

***

Osa opened her eyes hours later and looked

around. She was still alone in the room. She
slowly got up then paused as her body ached.

She slowly got off the bed and slowly walked to

the bathroom. Her p*ssy throbbing painfully.
She slowly sat on the toilet seat and let out her
pee. It ran through her swollen sensitive skin
that curled her toes closing her eyes trying stop
it but it still came. She quickly finished then
wiped herself and got up.

She walked out then took her phone and

connected it to the wifi.

Messages came in and she took a deep breath

opening her mother’s. Osa called her mother
with WhatsApp.

“Osa!”

“Ma?”
“I saw your video. My girl if you start fighting the
girls your husband cheats on you with, you will
never stop fighting. You will always embarrass
yourself if you are going to fight. You handle
your man not the other woman. I hope you are
not thinking of leaving your husband. These
little girls will forever be there to tempt your
husband and shake your marriage. Tefo is a
man and trust me he sees other buttocks.
Mistakes and temptations will always be there.”

“I am not divorcing him. I overreacted

yesterday.”

“Thank God..kana Tefo is still finishing my

pavement.”
Osa sighed. “I know. I’m not leaving him. I know
how to deal with my marriage. He’s different but
I’m learning.”

“I love how he takes care of you. I used I wish

he was older but then he’s proved that he’s a
man.”

Osa smiled. “I know. I’m pregnant.”

Her mother screamed. “Oh Jesus is good!”

Osa laughed tearfully. “I am so happy mama.

And Tefo is so happy. I’m happy when he is.”

“My girl…”
She sniffed. “I am so happy. Now I can breathe.
After this one I want to get pregnant again. Give
him two. That would settle him.”

Her mother laughed. “I am so happy. I hope you

don’t tell anyone about it. Not everyone wants
you happy. Keep it between you and your
husband.”

“Yes.”

Osa turned as someone fiddled with the door

handle.

“I have to go. Bye.”

She hung up then Tefo walked in. He looked at

her and smiled.

“Hi.”

Osa looked at him unable to hold in her smile.

He walked over and hugged her.

“You got it?”

He laughed. “Yeah.”

She giggled. “I am so happy baby.”

“Me too. That was nerve wrecking.”

He let go of her and took off his shirt. Osa

looked at the bruise on his stomach. She took a
deep breath feeling guilty. She wasn’t sure just
how he was feeling now but she knew he was
still hurting.

She had hurt him. He kissed her.

“How are you feeling?”

“I will be fine.”

“Ok.”

“I am sorry. I am so sorry.”

Tefo nodded. “It’s ok.”

She hugged him. “Don’t leave me.”

“We are going to London tomorrow. To get

some fresh air.”

She looked at him. “Really baby?”

“Yes.”

Osa screamed jumping into his arms excitedly.

“O thapile?(have you bathed?)”

“I just woke up.”

“Our food is going to take an hour. I will run as a
bath.

Tefo walked to the bathroom. Osa turned as his

phone flashed on the bed. She picked it up and
looked at message appearing on his screen
from sn unsaved number.

She looked at the little piece showing.

Number: is everything ok? Did she believe…

Osa swiped the screen to read the rest of the

message but his phone needed a password.

Tefo walked out. "Come."

"someone texted you. Who is it?"

Tefo looked at his phone then looked at the

number. Osa stared at him.

"Ke mang?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I was just asking. Who is she?"

"The truth is that I am cheating on you and I am

sorry. The password is your name and middle
name combined, no spacing. After you are done
drying, you will join me for a bath."

Osa watched him as she walked away then

unlocked the phone.

She looked at herself as the screensaver then

went to his messages. She tapped it and read
the entire message.

Number: Is everything ok? Did she believe you?

Tefo you need to stop acting in ways that make
your wife gave doubts. Believe me as your uncle,
kana mosadi o dingalo. From here she will
always think you were cheating even if you were
not. At the end you are going to say yes I
cheated for peace’s sake.
Osa bit her lip a little embarrassed. She went
through his phone and hubby wasn’t doing
anything shady. She put the phone down and
walked to the bathroom where was seating in
the bathtub eyes closed.

Osa slowly got in and sat on him straddling him.

She hugged him putting her head on her
shoulder.

“I am sorry.”

Tefo hugged her. “Why are we having doubts

Mrs David?”

Osa smiled embarrassed then kissed his neck.

“I am sorry.”
“I know you are but tell me so I know where to
reassurance.”

“You are doing great. I have just been under a

lot of pressure but it’s fine now that we are
pregnant.”

“Even if you weren’t pregnant, we’d still be fine.

This baby is just a bonus to the real prize I
have.”

She smiled blushing.

The following morning Amara finished cleaning

her sister’s grave.

For a moment she just stood there lost in her

thoughts. There was a lot of things she wanted
to say to her.

Tears rolled down Amara’s cheeks. If she hadn’t

said yes to Tefo her sister would have been still
been alive nyut she had loved the wrong person.

She sniffed moving back and bumped into

someone. Amara turned then a man smiled at
her.

“Sorry.”

Amara wiped away her tears. “It’s ok.”

He put the flowers he was holding on the grave
next to Maya’s . Amara looked over.

“Those are nice, where did you get them?”

“One of my friend’s sell them. I can connect you

to the shop. What’s your number?”

He took out his phone then Amara called out

her digits.

“Name?”

“Amara.”
He saved it then smiled looking at her. “Chris.
Who are you seeing?”

“My sister. My only sibling.” Her voice broke.

“She committed suicide two years ago.”

“I am sorry. I’m seeing my mom. Three years

ago. What they never prepare you is the
unending pain.”

Amara sniffed. “I drove her to it.”

Chris held her hand. “I don’t know you or what

happened but your sister made a decision to do.
Kill herself. You didn’t do that.”

Amara tried to talk buy instead cried. Chris

pulled her for a hug.

Amara pulled herself together and wiped her

face with her scarf.

“I am sorry.”

“It’s ok.”

She breathed out. “Coming here makes me

sad.”

“I know. Want to go somewhere else? Grab

coffee and try talk about less painful things?”

“I didn’t bring my car I-“

“Mine is here.”

He took her hand and led her out. Amara looked

at his car.

“Wow!”

Chris laughed. “I am still paying the loan.”

She laughed. Chris opened the door for her.

Amara got in then he walked round and jumped
in.

He smiled. “I am happy to have find a grieving

buddy. Someone who understands.”
Amara smiled. “Me too. How come I have never
seen you?”

“I was based in Maun. I got a job that offered

me double my Maun salary.”

“Wow! That’s amazing.”

“Yeah. And there’s room for a promotion.”

“That’s nice. I also have been looking for a job.

With an even better salary. I’m in the
government though boss is about to retire. If I
get her position I will be sorted. Seeing your
mother’s grave here makes me believe your
family is in Gaborone. Why were you in Maun?”
Chris them to the nearby mall. They walked in
and sat on the outdoor restaurant chatting to
him.

“My entire family is here but I wanted to grow

on my own and honestly just be my own person.
I hope your person won’t come out from no
where and try to fight me. The people here to
don’t believe strangers can talk. He will think I
am trying to snatch you.”

Amara laughed. “I am single so don’t worry. Did

you move with your girlfriend?”

“No. She got promoted at her job and asked me

to not take this job so we stay together. It
ended when I moved.”
“I am sorry.”

“Its ok.

Their waiter walked over. They ordered and

continued talking both engrossed in the
conversation.

***

Tumo finished updating his CV then sat it to a

few companies hiring.

He picked his ringing phone.

“Hello?”
“Hi, it’s Amo’s mother. Koore you kill my
daughter and don’t even say anything. You
killed my child!”

“I am sorry. I am truly sorry. It doesn’t make

anything right but I am sorry.”

“Your daughter is here. She needs financially

support or you want nothing to do with her?”

“Nyaa mma. I will start sending her money

monthly but I don’t think I can see her. Not now
at least.”

“Ok. Your lawyer refused to give us half of what

belonged to my daughter.”
“You got her car and her clothes akere?”

“You had two cars. Sell the other car and we

divide the money in half.”

“I am not going to do that. Everything that’s

here is mine. She didn’t contribute to anything
in the house..what you got is what your
daughter have. If you keep bothering me then I
will take my name off your granddaughters birth
certificate and she can go and look for her real
father. Bye.”

He hung up and continued applying..

***
Over 12 hours later that day, The British airways
flight touched down at Heathrow Airport and
ran down the runaway till it came to a stop.

Osa smiled with excitement, she had been to

London before on business but this time she
was here for a vacation.

Moments later they stepped out. Osa excitedly

took pictures and videos as they walked to
check in. A while later they got their bags then
Tefo held her hand holding both their bags and
followed the other passengers. Tefo looked at
the buzzing airport. It was so busy with people
arriving and other’s leaving.

He looked at the lady holding a board written Mr.

And Mrs David and walked over to him.

“Hi, I’m Natefo David and this is my wife, Osa

David.”

The lady smiled. “Welcome Mr and Mrs David. I

am your chauffeur and I will be taking you to
your hotel. I hope you had a safe flight.”

Tefo turned as a familiar face passed by them.

He turned and his heart almost landed on the
floor as he looked at Bonolo.

He turned to Osa who was taking pictures.

“Uh… can you show my wife the nice spots in

the airport and I will be back. I need to use the
bathroom.”

“Ok, you can leave the bags. The bathroom is

that side.”

He put the bags down and hurried off. Osa

smiled and continued with the pictures.

Tefo walked through the crowd and grabbed her

hand.

Bonolo turned and froze.

“Make noise and I will show the security here

your pictures on the Botswana police page.”

Bonolo heart pounded so much that she felt like

she was about to faint.

Tefo smiled taking her passport that was in her

hand. He laughed looking at it then looked at
her.

“Nola… nice name. congratulations.”

“Tefo-“

“Let’s go to the bathroom.”

Tears filled her eyes as she looked at him.

Seven Months Later..

Osa laid in the doctor’s office as they did a scan.

She smiled looking at the screen. The doctor
smiled.

“She is holding on.”

Osa smiled. “I didn’t sleep last night. She wasn’t

kicking.”

“She is alive. Her heartbeat is weak.”

Osa sniffed. “She doesn’t kick as much when

her dad is not around but last night I thought…”

The doctor looked at Osa. “Have you told him?”

Osa rubbed her eyes. “And say what? He is so

happy. I don’t want to disappoint him.”

“Osa this is your life you are talking about. If we

wait it might be too late because it keeps –“

“He is so excited. I have never seen him this

excited. You should see him. I am not
disappointing him.”

“Its either you or this baby! Osa please… we

have to start treatment now.””

Osa sat upright. “I am going to be fine. I am

week away from giving birth. We will start the
treatment immediately after I give birth.*

“Osa you are not going to be fine. Everyday you

are carrying this baby .. it’s a risk. We could do
C-section now or induce labor.”

Osa looked at her. “I will be fine.”

She sniffed then stepped down. She fixed

herself.
“Bye.”

The doctor pulled her hand. “I understand. I do.

But this baby is not worth your life-“

“My husband is! It took two years to have this

baby. I am not taking this away from him.”

Osa sighed. “Bye.”

She walked out carrying her bag. Her phone

rang from her handbag. She took it out and
picked her mother’s call.

“Mama..”
“Osa, I think I should come there today. When
are you due?”

“Next week.”

“Ok. Has Tefo arrived? I don’t think he should be

traveling as much. He can’t leave you all alone.”

“Ge left yesterday. He’s arriving in an hour.

Mama Tefo is trying. Please don’t he hard on
him. He’s been the best through this
pregnancy.”

“I just worry. You are heavily pregnant.”

“I am not disabled. You will come tomorrow.”

“Ok.”

She hung up and got in her new car. She started

the engine and drove off headed to the airport.

Over an hour later at Sir Seretse Khama

International Airport, Osa stood up from the
bench as Tefo walked over carrying a small bag.
A smile covered her face. Tefo hugged her
kissing her.

“Mrs David.”

She giggled. “Hey.”

“I came as soon as I could. I’d the baby ok?”

“Yes. We are good. I panicked for no reason.”

He sighed. “We are going to be ok.”

“I know.”

“I told you I’d see you at home. I don’t like it

when you drive in your condition.”

“I am sorry. I wanted to pick you up.”

“I still don’t like it. Can it stop?”

“Eerra.”
He kissed her then walked out with her. He
looked at her swollen feet then helped her in the
car. Osa sat by the passenger seat adjusting
the seat and watched him as he walked round
the car.

He looked so handsome. His body got better

each day. He jumped in the car.

“Did you eat?”

“I had yoghurt.”

“Real food.”

“Nya rra.”
He looked at her then started the car and drove
off. His phone rang as he drove, his other hand
on her thigh as usual. He slowed down next to a
police car.

“Can you pick that for me?”

Osa took it and looked at the unsaved number

calling.

“Hello?”

“Oh.. hi it’s Momo. Maemo. Is Tefo around?”

“Yes, how can I help you?”

“Nyaa mma I just wanted to tell Tefo that my
coffee shop will be opening tomorrow. It’s an
official invite.”

“My husband won’t be able to make it.

Congratulations. Was there anything else?”

“No but-“

“Good. I hope your business booms into

success but kindly refrain from ever calling my
husband again. I hope you are listening to me
loud and clear. If you are going to be a problem
then I will retaliate and I promise you, I will have
your little shop on the ground. I hope I’m heard
loud and clear. Bye.”

Osa hung up. Tefo looked at her knowingly.

“O sharp?”

“Babe I told you akere gore this girl was going

to be a problem. Why should she be calling you?
Let her open her business there, what does it
have to do with you?”

“Sepe. Don’t get mad. I am in full agreement.

Thank you for handling it.”

She looked at him then unlocked his phone and

blocked the number.

“Nate should anything happen to me and you go

back to this woman I will haunt for the rest of
your life!”
He laughed. “Why should anything happen to
you?”

“You never know. I might die in the future. Don’t

go back to this girl.”

“If you die then there won’t be a reason for me

to live.”

She looked at him and smiled then kissed his

hand. “You will have our child to live for.”

“I told you the baby is just a bonus. You are the

prize “

She looked at him trying to keep her tears away.

She knew he was just saying it. He was now
over 30 and his age mates had up to 2 to 3 kids.
He obviously wanted it too.

She took a deep breath. She knew she’d make

it. The baby would make it too and they would
be fully happy at last.

Tefo looked at her. “You are crying. I am never

going to talk to her.”

She smiled rubbing her eyes. “I am really

hungry.”

“Ok.”

Tefo drove faster.

Osa’s phone vibrated then she opened the
message from her doctor. She deleted it before
opening and sighed.

Tefo leaned over and kissed her while driving.

Osa smiled convincing herself. She’d face birth
and start treatment.

It’s short, apologies, another one coming up just

now. Got held up.

Momo walked of her coffee café headed to her

car then picked her boyfriend’s call.

“Hello?”

“Baby thamma borrow me P2k. I will return it

month end.”

“You haven’t returned any money I have ever

borrowed you.”

“I need it to fix my car. My car is my work.”

“You need to find other ways of making money.

I am tired of taking care of the both of us.”
“Akere your cousin sent you money. Why are
you complaining as if you worked hard for this
money?”

“Koore wa nyatsa. You really do underestimate

me. I am not giving you any money and I am
breaking up with you. I am tired of hearing the
same story every single time. All you know is to
try to get money from me yet you can’t even
spoil me. You have never spoilt me since the
time we met till today. Ke lapile.”

He sighed. “Ok I am sorry. I will try and be better

by I really need to fix the car. That’s the way I
can make money to spoil you.”

“No. I am breaking up with you. I am done with

you. Anyone can go around calling me names
but I have standards and truly I tried but a broke
man is not part of it. Go and look for someone
else because it’s not me.”

Momo hung up and breathed out. She got in her

car picking Bontle’s call.

“Friend.”

“Mma I saw Richard at the mall.”

“He is back in Gaborone I know.”

“He looks calmer waitse. I think life has shown

him.”
“Tota I wish he wasn’t in Gaborone but it’s fine.
I have leant boxing. If he tries it then I am going
to fight him back.”

“I doubt he would ever bother you. How is the

launch plans going?”

“I called Tefo to just thank him and invite him.

His wife picked. That old lady is no insecure but
I don’t care. I will never call him ever again
though I think I do feel sorry for her. It must be
hard living in fear of losing him to someone
who’s his age, someone way younger than you.
She may be pretty but age yone is still going
up.”

“Nna mma I never understand how society is. If

Tefo was married to girl younger it would be ok
but because it’s the woman older it’s now a
problem. Love is blind waitse friend? It doesn’t
look at all that. You love who you love and it’s
not something you can control.”

“I just feel sorry for her. Her insecurities must

be high since now she’s pregnant. Anyways
Tefo is happy. I am single by the way. I couldn’t
keep that thing in my life. Ke lapile but I did it
properly. I am not going to settle because I have
to. I am going to carry my sister standards. I am
not going to settle that man. He’s a tick trying
to suck out if my money. I have never seen a
male gold digger and he’s not even shy can you
imagine? Sometimes you ought to be shy. His
confidence is from Harvard.”

They burst out laughing.

Amara walked out of her office going to the
reception. She looked at the red roses waiting
for her and smiled.

The receptionist smiled at her handing them to

her.

“They just got delivered.”

“Thanks.”

Amara smiled walking back to her office. She

took the note and smiled opening it.

‘Hey, beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman.’

Amara giggled then called Chris.

“Ama..”

“I love the flowers.”

He chuckled. “I am glad you do.”

“They smell so good. Thank you.”

“Anytime. Dinner tonight?”

She blushed. “I would love that.”

“Ok I will see you later. Have a good day.”

“Bye.”

He hung up. Amara lifted the flowers smiling.

He hadn’t said a word about wanting her as yet
though she could more than see in his actions.
Thing is that he was a doer. Whatever it was,
he’d rather do than just say and somehow it
turned her on. She put the flowers down then
took them a picture and posted it.

Her sister’s husband called immediately. Amara

sighed.

“Rragwe Wame.”

“I am rragwe Wame now?”

“What do you want me to say?”

“Amara I thought we were going to be a family.”

“I cannot be in a relationship with my late

sister’s husband. It was wrong. I love Wame
and I will forever be there for her but not as your
person. I can’t. We got together at a time of
pain and we comforted each other but it’s time
to move on. I think I love someone else and
something tells me he does too. I want him. I
am sorry but I want him. You also need to move
on.”

“I can’t believe you are doing this to us.”

“I am sorry but it is what it is bye.”

She hung up then sat down and continued
working.

***

Later that day, Tefo watched as Osa ate her

food rubbing her bump. She wasn’t eating as
much, just nibbling at her food.

“Do you want something else?”

She picked the burger and took a bite smiling.

She paused chewing at the pain she had been
feeling since morning. She took a deep breath
and stood up.

“I want to pee.”
Osa walked to the bathroom and sat on the
toilet seat but nothing came out. This was the
third time now.

She walked to him and sat down resting her

head on his chest. His phone rang. Osa looked
over reaching for it and look at her doctor
calling.

“It’s the doctor. I think she wants to talk to me.”

“You were together in the morning, your phone

is on. Let me hear what she wants to say.
Maybe she wants to reprimand me for not
coming today.”

“You don’t have to answer her call. Everything is

ok.”

Tefo took the phone and answered getting up.

He walked to the kitchen to get her more juice.

“Hello?”

“Mr David, I believe you are back now.”

“Yes, sorry I missed her last appointment.”

“It’s ok. I am going to lose my job fir this but I

need to talk to you about something important.”

Osa quickly walked over to him.

“Nate –“

“I am getting you juice. Go and sit.”

She looked at him. “Can I say something to the

doctor.”

“After. I will give you the phone.”

Her heart raced. “Nate-“

“Get and sit baby. Look at your feet.”

She looked at the phone and nodded walking to

the sitting room.
Tefo spoke on the phone. “Ok, you were
saying?”

“Your wife has not been completely honest with

you. At 4 months we found out there was
something amiss with her health so we ran
some tests.”

Osa could feel heart pound so much it was if it

was a drum and someone kept hitting it.

How would she explain herself to him and

knowing Tefo he’d take an irrational decision.
She’d lose the baby after the nine months and…

Osa looked down as water ran down her thighs

to the floor wetting her dress. She frowned then
turned to Tefo..
“Nate.. my water.”

He looked and hurried over then laughed. “Shit!”

He spoke to the phone.

“She is in labor.”

“Oh thank God. Let’s meet at GPH. I will be

there waiting for you.”

Tefo hung up. Osa looked at him.

“What was she saying?”

“Something about your health. Let me grab your
bag and the baby’s bag.”

He hurried to their bedroom and rushed back

seconds later.

“Are you in pain?”

“Yes. But it’s not much.”

They walked to the car where Tefo helped her

inside then quickly jumped in and drove off.

Osa breathed out as the contraction pains

worsened. She closed her eyes doing the
breathing exercises wondering why she didn’t
say anything when she was feeling that pain the
entire day.

Or maybe she had been in denial. It struck her

again, she closed her eyes pulling her dress.
Tefo drove even faster and minutes later they
walked inside the hospital.

Tefo watched as the doctor checked how far

Osa was in the room she had been admitted
into.

She looked at Osa.

“When did you start feeling the pain?”

“After we left the airport.”

Tefo looked at her. “What?”

“They were mild.”

Tefo sighed. “How far is she?”

“Half way through. Osa –“

“I can do this.”

The doctor looked at Tefo then nodded.

“I will keep checking on you.”

She walked out. Osa squeezed his hand.

“Go home and make sure the baby’s room is in

order. It’s going to be a while. You will find me
here waiting for you. Also call my mom and tell
her to come.”

Tefo kissed her. “Ok. I will be back just now.”

Over an hour later, Osa grunted in so much pain.

She laid on the bed sweating as the pain
continued to reap her to pieces.

Her doctor walked in.

“I think this must be it. The other team is
waiting for you. Immediately after birth you
begin your treatment.”

“The baby is going. It’s coming.”

The doctor checked then pressed a button.

“We are going to labor.”

Two nurses rushed inside and pushed her out.

Tefo walked inside the hospital going to Osa’s

room but it was now empty.
A nurse walked in.

“She has been moved. She is having the baby.”

Tefo smiled. “Fuvk I can’t believe this is

happening.”

***

Osa’s doctor looked at her. “We went through

this… you know what you do right?”

Osa nodded sweating. The contraction hit her

harder. Osa grabbed the bed handles screaming
while pushing. The nurse wiped her sweaty
forehead.
“You are doing great.”

Osa gritted her teeth and pushed thinking of

Tefo. She was going to give him this baby even
if it was the last thing she ever did.

Tefo waited outside anxiously but excited still.
Osa’s phone rang in her pocket. He took it out
and looked at her mother calling and picked.

“Hello?”

“Hi son, ahh rragwe Osa and I are coming to the

hospital right now. I think we all want to be
there. We are so excited, I can’t even sit
properly.”

Tefo laughed. “Me too. She’s went into labor

now. I had rushed over to put the house in
order.”

“Good. I will see you in an hour or less.”

“Ok.”

He dropped the call and paced waiting. Thirty

minutes went by then an hour. Tefo took a deep
breath, labor took time. He had to get patient
though he wished he was in there with her
holding her hand.

Tefo’s heart skipped as the doctor walked over.

A huge smile covered his face.

“It’s over?”

“Uh… Osa’s body can’t anymore. She’s tired and

she’s lost a lot of blood. We need to take her
for an emergency C-section. You just have to
sign a document that allows us to.”
“Ok..is she ok right now?”

“She is breathing through the oxygen mask. Mr

David Osa has cancer.”

Tefo frowned. “Huh?”

“She has leukemia. Her body handled the

treatment she’s been getting on the side well
but it recently got more aggressive. I had a
conversation with her two months ago about
her giving birth and the baby to finish the
growth in an incubator but she refused. I need
to you to tell me what I should prioritize. The
baby or the mother. Osa was well aware of the
risks and complications that came with this
pregnancy.”
“Leukemia? Osa is just fine.”

“She is not. I am sorry Mr David.”

Tefo’s heart raced as he tried to digest the

news. There was no way she had leukemia. He.
Lived with this woman everyday.

He looked at her doctor then he moved back.

“No..”

“The baby or the mom? We don’t have much

time.”

“The mom. I told her the baby was just a

bonus.”
“Go to the reception and sign the document. I
will get started.”

The doctor rushed back and helped the nurses

will Osa to OR.

She touched Osa’s hand.

“Osa you are going to have to hold on. You are

stronger than you think. You are walking out
with your baby today. I am not losing you.”

Osa blinked breathing through an oxygen mask

while a tear rolled down to her ear. A Chinese
doctor joined them putting on his gloves.
They quickly prepped Osa for the C-section. The
anesthesiologist administered anesthesia to
numb her lower body. Osa felt a strange
sensation, a combination of numbness and
detachment as the medication took effect. Her
body went weak, and she could only watch as
the sterile drapes were placed

***

In Ireland, Bonolo looked at her son sleeping

then took a deep breath wondering how big
Junior would be. She sighed. To the whole
world it seemed she didn’t care but she more
than cared. She was still living with the guilt of
his death.
Gavin walked in the baby’s room and looked at
her.

“Hey.”

Bonolo smiled. “Hi.”

He took his baby and smiled looking at him.

Gavin stared at Bonolo.

“My family is coming. I wish at least one of your

relatives could come.”

Bonolo nodded. “Me too.”

“What about your sister?”

“After the way I left her stranded in SA?”

“Let me the one to talk to her. We will pay for

everything.”

“I will talk to her first.”

Gavin kissed his son walking out. Bonolo took a

deep breath and called Momo.

“So now you just call me?”

“I am sorry. How are you?”

“I am happy.”
Bonolo smiled. “I saw the pictures of the bakery.
I am so happy for you.”

“You never answered me about the money.”

“I bumped into Tefo at Heathrow. He gave me

an ultimatum, either I compensate you for the
trouble I put you in or I go to jail.”

“This money truly helped me..I was convinced

he hated me before.”

“He does. He hates me too. The anger in his

eyes.. I just hope he lets it go and let’s me be. I
feared he was going to hurt me.”
“If he had to hurt you he’d go for what you love
the most. But Tefo is not like that. Gape Osa
seems to be keeping him in line. He’s happy
with her.”

“I should have long seen it coming.”

“Did she ever give him money when he was with

you two?”

“No. Tefo is not like that. He would even refuse

her car. He didn’t marry her fot money. I can
assure you. He probably married her because
she’s down to earth and she respects him so
much, it’s even sexy to watch. She doesn’t just
talk to him. She’s respectful. Even when angry.
I am sure after that cheating incident, she sat
him down and spoke to him nicely like a child.”
Momo breathed out. “Yeah, anyway o batang?”

“I am getting married. Can you please come.”

“And what?”

“I have no relative attending. I will be all alone.”

“Pay for mama and I so we come and meet this

poor man who doesn’t know what he’s getting
himself into.”

Bonolo smiled. “Consider it done! Can’t wait to

show you around!”
“You are lucky that my lawyer had the case
kicked out of court I can now travel. The
moment you come back to Botswana you are
getting arrested.”

“I know. I am never coming back.”

***

At the hospital in Gaborone, thirty minutes went

by as he stood outside unsure of what was
going on behind the closer doors.

In the Operating room, the surgeon made the

initial incision, and Osa felt a strange sensation,
unlike anything she had experienced before. A
sudden wave of weakness washed over her,
and her vision blurred. She tried to speak but
found it difficult to form words.

Her doctor looked at her. “What’s happening?”

“Her blood isn’t clotting properly.”

The surgeon glanced at her. Osa looked at her

doctor weakly, her heart racing. She badly
wanted to know what was going on. She blinked
crying. Her doctor wiped her tears.

“Its ok. We are going to do everything we can.

Let’s think happy thoughts. Imagine your baby
in your arms tomorrow. Tefo’s happiness.
She’s probably going to look like you. Beautiful
and kind.

Osa blinked.

The doctor smiled. “You are going to be a great

mother. I know you will. I think you should have
a surrogate for your next. Tefo wouldn’t mind.”

Osa looked at her feeling out of breath. Her

doctor turned.

“We need to get the baby out. She’s losing a lot

of blood.”

Osa blinked as the room started to spin around

her, and she could hear the frantic whispers of
the medical team.
Osa’s doctor swallowed as the nurse told them
the stats.

“She has an irregular heart rare, 149 bears per

minute and her blood pressure keeps
decreasing. The oxygen saturation is dropping.”

Osa’s doctor sighed. “We need to increase the

IV fluids now!”

Osa felt as if something was pressing down on

her face.

Even though she had the oxygen mask she was

struggling to breath. She felt herself begin to
drift off.
A baby’s loud cried made her blink. Her doctor
looked over at her.

“She’s here! She’s here Osa! Hold on.”

Osa slowly closed her eyes as the baby’s cries

got fainter as if she was crying from a distance.

Osa’s doctor looked at her.

“We need to the stop the bleeding.”

The Chinese surgeon located the bleeding and

begun the process of stopping it to prevent
further deterioration.
The machines beeped uncontrollably. The nurse
in room swallowed.

“She is about to flat line.”

***

Tefo took a deep breath unsure of what was

taking so long. He got up from where he was
seated as Osa’s doctor walked over moments
later.

Tefo smiled. “And?”

“Congratulations. You are a father to a beautiful,

healthy bouncing baby girl!”
Tefo laughed. “Shit!”

“She is very beautiful and uh she’s in perfect

health. Loud but.. I guess it comes with
territory.”

“Is she with Osa? I want to see them. Her

parents are almost here. Let me get a kiss
before they arrive.”

She looked at him and swallowed. “We faced

unexpected complications. She had severe
internal hemorrhage. We located it after and
stopped it but her blood pressure was down
and… her heart…” She tried to find the right
words.

Tefo shook his head. “She is in coma?”

“We tried to rusticate her but… “ Tears filled her
eyes. “She was down for a while, I didn’t stop
and she regained heartbeat but she’s braindead.
The machines are the only thing keeping her
alive. She’s dead. I am so sorry. I did everything
I could.”

Morning, sorry for the delay, had a power cut

where I stay. It's just been resolved.

Tefo smiled. “Please take me to my wife. Is she
allowed to eat solids after an operation?”

Osa’s doctor tearfully looked at him. “She is

connected to the machine. You can come and
see her.”

She led him to the ICU where Osa was lying on

the bed connected to machines.

Tefo walked over she touched her.

“Hey Mrs David…”

He touched her hand who the machines beeped

steadily. Tefo kissed her forehead.
“We did it baby ..”

She remained still breathing through the

machines. Tefo tearfully looked at her, his heart
getting heavier.

The doctor touched his shoulder.

“She practically dead. But the machines are

keeping her heart going.”

“I want to talk to her.”

She nodded and walked out. Tefo smiled.

“Hey.. I know you are in there. I am very upset
that you kept such a big thing from me. We
could have handled this together Mrs David. I
told you, the baby would be a bonus to the
equation. I love you… with or without baby. I
wish you told me but it’s ok because… we will
find a way to deal with this. You are not going to
leave me. Not now, not ever.”

He took a deep breath then chuckled.

“I can’t wait to see our baby.”

A block of pain chocked him. He swallowed.

“You are not leaving me baby.”

He looked at her feeling as if he was at the

verge of losing everything. His heart pounded
so much as he held her hand.

“I am not losing you baby. I am not losing you

like this.”

He sniffed holding her hand feeling everything

get heavier.

***

Mmagwe Osa looked at the doctor at the

reception and frowned.

“Mosadi wa modimo, I’m here for my daughter.

Where is she?”

“Mr David is with her.”

“So what are you saying?”

“She is brain dead.”

Mmagwe Osa looked at her husband. “Do you

hear her?”

Rragwe Osa swallowed. “Are you saying that my

daughter is dead? Her mother spoke to her
earlier on. She was ok.”

“She was but she faced complications in labor.

Her labor was risky as she ad cancer. I had
explained that to Mrs David. She knew what
was going to happen. I am very sorry for your
loss. I am terribly sorry.”
“I need to see her!”

“I understand –“

“I need to see my daughter.”

The doctor took them to the room where Tefo

was holding on to his wife. He turned his
released her. Mmagwe Osa walked over and
touched her daughter.

She breathed out loud then looked at her

husband.

“She is here.”
Tears filled rragwe Osa ‘s eyes as he looked at
his son in-law.

Tefo sniffed. “She asked me to go and prepare

the house for the baby. She went into labor
when I left. I have been waiting for more than an
hour.. I shouldn’t have signed for her to have a
C-section.”

The doctor shook his head. “Then they both

could have died. You made the right call and
saved the one we could save –“

“I told you to prioritize my wife!”

“We tried and did everything we could. I will give

you all space.”
She hurried out feeling overwhelmed. It was one
of those patients that she had invested her
emotions into and here she was.

She hurried to her office and sat down shaking.

Rragwe Osa sniffed and walked out picking a

call from her sister.

***

Momo parked at her mother’s house and

walked in holding a plastic of groceries. She
walked in the house and looked at her mother
watching TV.

“Guess who called me?”

Her mother looked at her. “Who?”

Momo smiled. “Bonolo. She is inviting us to her

wording abroad.”

“She remembers us after all?”

“Mama obviously she does. I said yes she will

pay for everything.”

“I am not going anywhere Maemo. Bonolo is

wanted by the police. I will not break the law by
attending a wedding and keeping quiet. Please
don’t involve me in this. She abandoned her
baby after almost killing her baby daddy. I don’t
know when she started being evil but I want
nothing to do with her.”
“Nna mma I am going. I will not miss an
opportunity to be in a plane. I want to see this
man she’s getting married to.”

Maemo’s phone vibrated then she opened a

message from her friend.

Bontle: Go on Facebook. Tefo’s wife is dead.

Momo frowned opening her Facebook. She

searched for Osa and she was already trending.

Momo opened the post with over a thousand

shares.

‘My cousin Osa just passed on during labor. So

devastated, wonder how her husband is doing.
This is going to break the family😭😭 RIP
champion Queen, you opened the door for most
of us. Taught us to always choose our
happiness. Death be not proud.’

Momo read the post multiple times. Her heart

skipping a beat.

It didn’t make sense, she had just spoken to

Osa a couple of hours ago.

She went to Tefo’s profile to see if he had

confirmed anything.

Momo looked at her mother.

“Tefo’s wife is dead.”

Mmagwe Momo shook his head. “That pretty

woman?”

“Yes.”

“Maybe this is God answering your prayers. You

can now go back to him.”

Momo looked at her mother in shock.

***

In Ireland, Bonolo read the post and put her feet

down as a cold chill ran down her spine.
“God…”

She thoughtfully called Momo.

“Nolo-“

“Is it true?”

“No one had confirmed anything as yet but I

think it is.”

“Tefo is going to be broken. I feel so sad. She

was such an amazing person.”

“Maybe but I think it’s God’s plan.”

“What?”

“Tefo and Osa were never going to last.”

“I think they were.”

“Now she is dead.”

Bonolo closed we eyes then a fresh rolled

down.. “I liked her.”

“Its time for Tefo to move on.”

Amara read the post a colleague had tagged
her on.

Amara frowned then went through the profile of

the owner of the post as she had a few pictures
with Osa. Amara went back to the post and
read it again then jumped celebrating..

“Yes! Yes!”

She laughed happily then commented.

Amara: 😂😂😂 there goes karma. It ended in
bitter tears!

Amara read through the replies on her

comment, most of them calling her bitter and
evil but she really couldn’t care less.
Tefo had played her, he knew her history with
getting played and she had let him in her life.
From there he went and married another
woman behind her back.

She took a deep breath thinking of the pain he

had put her through, from there he killed her
sister.

He deserved everything that was happening to

him and more. Matter of fact Amara wished the
baby could die as well.

Her phone vibrated then she picked Chris’s call.

“Hi.”
Chris sighed. “Ama who has access to your
Facebook? I just came across a comment on
Facebook from your account. Log in and delete
it. Someone commented using your Facebook.”

“I commented. No one has access to my

Facebook.”

“You are the one where commented on that

post about the lady who just passed on?”

“Yes. Just ignore the hateful responses. Tota

nna I don’t care. Tefo broke me beyond. He hurt
me, he left me in the house with his late son so
to go and marry her. From there he killed my
sister. The police can’t prove it but he did it and
made it look like suicide. He deserves the pain!
Matter of fact he deserves more than what just
happened.”

“Tefo your ex? I thought you moved on.”

“I did but I am happy his karma is dealing with

him. I am so so happy. Tefo is evil!”

“I don’t understand, I get he hurt you but to

rejoice over another person’s death on
Facebook is crazy and inhuman. Someone has
just lost their life and you find it proper to
comment with such nonsense. You could have
mad your own post or kept your happiness to
yourself but you have just turned yourself into
the most hated person mo Botswana.”

“I don’t care who hates me or not. Those people

were not there when Tefo was playing with my
heart. I hate Tefo and I won’t even hide it.”

“I see. Bye.”

“Are we still meeting today?”

“I will call you.”

“Ok but ke dinner?”

“I will see. We will talk.”

He hung up. Amara went back to her comment

and looked at the amount of replies on the post.
She bit her lower lip thinking of her colleagues
who were going to see the comment.

She thoughtfully deleted it then sighed.

***

Later that day, Tefo slowly picked his daughter

up. He stared at the tiny baby finding it hard to
breathe. She was right there, tiny and beautiful.
He swallowed thinking of Osa. Somehow Tefo
couldn’t understand how he had failed to see it.
Months had passed and he laid next to her
almost every night and yet he hadn’t noticed
anything.

He had failed his wife. Tears burnt his eyes as

he stared at his daughter.
Tefo sat down holding her the his chest feeling
pain he had never experienced before. It was as
if he was stuck in an intense nightmare and it
was gripping at his life.

A nurse walked In and smiled looking at him.

“What are you naming her?”

Tefo sniffed and looked at her chuckling. “Angel.

My wife wanted us to name her Angel.”

She nodded. “The registry officer is coming.”

Tefo nodded. Mmagwe Osa walked in the room.

She looked at Tefo holding his daughter. Her
eyes were swollen and reddish from the crying.

She walked over and forced a smile. “Can I hold

her?”

Tefo handed her over and walked out while his

head ached. His father in-law looked at him.

“I am so sorry. I know you loved her. We all did. I

loved my girl so much. I wish there was a prayer
I could say that could return her back to life.
There was so much I wanted her to know. I
want to cry but I have to be a father and ask you
what you want us to do. The second opinion
was the same thing. She’s brain dead and..”
Rragwe Osa swapped rubbing his eyes. “She
will never wake up.”
“I am bringing a doctor from SA. I want a third
opinion. I don’t believe it. People get
misdiagnosed locally. I know my girl and she’s
stronger than anyone thinks. I know she’s going
to be ok. I am not losing her.”

“Ok. You need to rest.”

“I am not leaving her.”

Tefo’s phone rang. He took it out and picked.

“Hello?”

“Hi, ke Momo. I am sorry for your loss Tefo.”

“What loss?”
“Osa. It’s on Facebook.”

“Who posted it?”

“Osa’s cousin. I know you loved her. I am really

sorry.”

“Whoever told you she’s dead lied to you. My

wife is alive!”

“Oh… oh ok. At least.”

Tefo hung up and called back his uncle.

*
Later that evening, Tefo walked in his house
carrying the baby’s bags while mmagwe Osa
followed behind holding the baby.

Osa’s daughter stood up.

“Mama is gone? She’s brain dead?”

Tefo swallowed. “Lewa-“

Mmagwe Osa handed Tefo the baby.

“Go and put her down. I will talk to Lewa.”

Tefo walked to his room and laid the baby in the

baby’s room. He looked around, the cameras
were already rolling. Tefo walked to his
bedroom and took a quick shower so he could
back to the hospital. He walked out with a towel
around her waist and looked at Osa’s things
scattered around the bed. He could smell her in
the room.

Tefo turned as the door opened then Lewa

walked in sniffing.

“She is dead isn’t she?”

“No. We are getting another opinion. You know

your mom is stronger than that.”

Lewa walked over and hugged him sniffing.

Tefo rubbed her back then moved back.
“Let me dress. I’m going back to the hospital so
she’s not alone.”

Lewa looked at him then took a step closer

pulling the towel.

“I know what can make us feel better.”

Tefo snatched the towel to cover himself but

Lewa already had her hand on his thick dic. No
wonder her mother had married him. It all made
perfect sense.

“Lewa stop-“

“Shh… relax.”
Tefo pushed her then wrapped the towel on.

“Get out.”

Lewa took off her dress and panty. Tefo’s heart

pounded.

“Lewa!”

“Lower your voice. You want granny to find us in

this position?”

“What the-“ He pulled her to the ensuit then

grabbed a towel covering her up. “What the fuvk
do you think you are doing? Your mother is
fighting for her life and this is what you want to
be doing? I’m your mother’s husband!”

“She is dead! She’s brain dead. There is no

different opinion you are going to get. Tefo-“

“What the actual fuvk?”

“If you don’t fuck me I’m going to scream. Who

will anyone believe? Not you I can assure you.”
She dropped the towel. “I just want to feel how
it’s supposed to feel. Just this once and I will
never ever bother you. Just this once uncle T..”

Tefo looked at her then he grabbed her throat

strangling her and lifted her up a bit. Lewa
kicked her legs trying to scratch his arm but he
tightened his grip glaring at her.

Her eyes widened, she could see her death

flash before her eyes. Tefo let go as she let out
a fart.

“Next time you try this shit on me, I will end your
life wa nkutwa? Try this shit again and I swear
to God I will bury you alive. Do you understand?”
She quickly nodded shaking fearfully.

“I am talking to you!”

“I understand.”

Tears filled her eyes.

“O irang? Wa lela? (What are you doing? Are you

crying?)”

She quickly shook her head. “No. No.”

“Get out!”
She hurried out then picked her dress putting it
on before going out. She bumped into her
grandmother.

“Lewa…”

“I am going to sleep.”

She walked to the guest room and locked

herself inside holding her neck.

***

Tefo walked out of the house moments later

then reversed out and drove off headed to the
hospital. He picked his ringing phone.
“Talk to me..”

“Tefo it’s Dr. Peterson, I just went through the

reports I got from the hospital. I am still coming
tomorrow morning but those results seem
accurate if she’s brain dead then she is dead.
What’s happening is that the machines are
helping keep her heart going. Once you switch
them off, the heart stops. She’s never going to
wake up from this. I understand it’s hard and…
you have hope but I just wanted to talk to you
before flying in.”

Tefo rolled down his windows. “I am not losing

my wife. I am not lose her. Not today.”

“We will talk tomorrow when I get there.”

“Ok.”

Tefo hung up and picked another incoming call.

“Malome..”

“What’s the update?”

“I am in my way to the hospital. There is no way

God is going to take her away from me too. He
knows she’s all I got. Doesn’t he? Does aunty
go to church? Please ask her to pray for her. I
can’t lose her.”

“We are all here for you. We will come to the

hospital tomorrow morning.”
Tefo breathed out as tears filled his eyes. “She
didn’t tell me she was sick. I lived with her, I
was with her most of the time and she didn’t tell
me. We could have made a plan together. We
could have… we could have gotten her
treatment. Osa knows I would do anything for
her. Anything. We promised no secrets and she
hid this from me for months!”

He wet his dry lips. “I would have chosen her.”

“Tefo all will be well.”

“I didn’t marry this woman to lose her to death. I

refuse.”

*
At the hospital, Tefo walked inside Osa’s room
and looked at her. She still looked the same
from when he left her. Beautiful and at peace.
Tefo kissed her forehead then sat on the chair
in the room holding her hand..

He put his hand on her thigh holding her hand

and silently cried. The pain on his chest
overwhelmed him that he closer his eyes
praying.

“Dear God… if you save her I will go by to church

every Sunday. I promise I will start praying every
night. Please save her. I can’t lose anymore.”

He sniffed squeezing her hand.

“If you save her I will never bother you ever

again. She’s my entire world. There’s nothing I
wouldn’t give for her.”

He sniffed again crying.

***

That evening, Amara answered her colleague’s

call.

“Hello?”

“Hi. I never knew you were this bitter Amara.

Koore o pelo ye maswe. Tefo left you , so what?
You are not first person to be left! Your sister
killed his son. What more do you want from this
man? You have a black heart.”
“I don’t expect anyone to understand where I
am coming from or how I feel. I am not going to
apologize for hating Tefo. No one ever
sympathizes with the woman because after all
getting played for a fool is the new normal. I
hate Tefo with passion, I don’t care whether it
makes me bitter or what. I found him as thin as
a matchstick, once he gained a little bit of
weight he left me to get married to another
woman behind my back! Nothing will ever make
me love that tall man and yes I am happy his
wife died. I am so happy I can climb on top of a
mountain and celebrate her death. Hate me or
call me names, I don’t care. If I am bitter
because I hate him then it’s fine, I will be bitter
till I die!”

Her colleague sighed. “Wow!”

Amara hung up then called Chris but he still
wasn’t picking her calls. She called him again.
He cut her call and sent a text

Chris: Hey, a bit busy. Let’s talk tomorrow. Night.

Amara sighed wondering if the drama on social

media was getting to him but it would soon
blow over. She wouldn’t trend forever.

***

At GPH the following morning, Tefo woke up to

beeping sounds. He quickly got up as two
nurses rushed in. He looked at his wife.
“What’s going on? What’s going on?!”

He asked frantically panicking. The machines

had beeped steadily the entire night and now
they were beeping uncontrollably. A doctor
rushed in.

“Get the husband outside.”

A nurse walked over to him. “Mr David-“

“What’s wrong with her?”

“We are trying to help your wife. We can’t do it

while you are in the room. Just wait outside so
we can stabilize her. Please allow us to do our
jobs.”
Tego looked at her shaking and stepped
outside. They closer the door tending to her.
Tefo paced shaking. He sat down feeling his
knees weaken.

He got up again scared. He could feel his

intestines knotting.

The doctor finally walked out. Tefo met him

halfway.

“She is ok now?”

“I am so sorry but she’s gone. Sue didn’t make

it. I am really sorry for your loss Mr. David.”
Tefo looked at him. He could hear the words
but processing them was harder. His throat
dried down as he got weaker.

Tefo walked in the room and looked at Osa. He

walked over and looked at her.
She still looked like Osa. Just sleeping. Eyes
closed, she looked relaxed. A tear fell on her
hand. Tefo cupped her face as words got stuck
at the back of his throat.

Another tear fell as he caressed her smooth

face. He stared at her waiting for her to open
her eyes and laughed calling him a cry baby.

He waited to hear her sweet calming voice that

no matter what, she never raised. He waited to
feel her tough, to feel the effect on her touch on
him.

He stared at her hoping she’d just open those

eyes of hers but wifey remained still.

Tefo could feel the hope in him crush and

everything else blurred. He licked his lips.

“Babe..” His voice shook as he spoke. “Come on

Mrs David. You can’t do this to me.”

He swallowed feeling pain grip at him from all

ends. His tears wet his cheeks.

“Baby come on… Angel is waiting for you at

home. I am not taking you home in a coffin
Osa.”

Tefo laid on her chest and completely broke

down.

“I am not taking you home in a coffin!”

He pulled himself together and laid on that little
bed cradling her body as if she were alive. He
kissed her forehead holding her tightly.

He knew if it were possible he’d swap places

with her.

The door opened then he held her tighter. Osa’s

doctor looked at him tearfully. Tefo kissed his
wife and held on to her.

“I am sorry.”

Tefo swallowed shaking his head.

“I am not going anywhere with her in a coffin.

We came here together and.. I am not going
home with a body.”

The doctor sniffed. “I am really sorry. I am really

sorry.”

Tefo held her tightly. The doctor stepped out

letting him have his moment with her.

***

Rragwe Osa walked inside Tefo’s house where

his wife was holding the baby.

She looked at her husband and swallowed. “She

is gone?”

“In the morning. The hospital just informed me..

Tefo was there with her. Apparently he’s now
lying with her body and won’t let go. My heart is
broken for I have lost a child but it’s more
broken for him. Is Prince coming back home?
He needs to come back to grieve his mother.”

“He must be coming.”

Rragwe Osa sniffed and sat down rubbing his

eyes. Mmagwe Osa put down her
granddaughter then hugged her husband crying.

***

Later that morning, Amara walked in her office,

her heels clacking on the tiled floor. She passed
a few colleagues who looked at her in a so not
nice manner.
She ignored them then sat in her office. She
took out her phone opening her Facebook and
the first thing she saw was Tefo’s
announcement post that had been made on his
behalf.

‘It is great pain to announce the passing of Mr

Natefo David’s wife, Mrs Osa David. Mrs David
was a beautiful kind and caring woman who
was dearly loved. Mr David will be stepping
away from business temporarily to deal with his
loss, the companies will carry on with the
wonderful and hard working staff ensuring that
day to day business continues. Mr David asks
for your patience and to give him privacy in this
very difficult time of his life. Thank you.’

Amara opened the comment section and all

them were heartfelt condolences. She tried to
find anything about the baby but there was
nothing.

Amara opened her laptop calling Chris.

“Hi.”

Amara smiled. “Hey.”

“I am in the middle of something at work, let me

talk to you later.”

“Oh.”

He hung up.
***

Momo smiled looking at the crowd that had

come for launch. She smiled in front of the
cameras looking at all the people in her Café.

She got the mic to give a speech. Momo

cleared her throat.

“Thank you all for being here today. This

business started in my mother’s kitchen and
here we are today. I am grateful for all the
support and encouragement I have received till
today. Thank you and enjoy.”

She gave away the mic as everyone clapped for

her. Momo walked to the bathroom and washed
her hands. She smiled proudly. She took out her
phone to check if she was trending yet.

Momo paused looking at Tefo’s stared post.

She read through and it was a confirmation of
his wife’s death. She took a deep breath leaving
an RIP comment.

She swallowed wondering what Tefo was going

through. She knew him enough to understand
he loved that woman.

Losing someone you loved was never easy, she

understood that.

She walked out of the bathroom moments later.

***

Tefo’s uncle looked at Tefo at the hospital. He

hugged his nephew.

“I am so sorry my boy.”

Tefo looked at him. “They took her away.”

“Because she is no longer here with us. That’s

just her body. Let’s go home.”

“I don’t want to leave her alone.”

Tefo’s other uncles and relatives sadly looked

at him. Here they were once again gathered for
him because he had lost someone.
“Tefo..”

Tefo swallowed at Osa’s voice, the hairs at the

back of his head standing.

She walked from behind him and giggled.

“What?”

His eyes widened with shock. “Osa?”

“Lets go home.”

Tefo hugged her crying. “I was so scared. I

thought… thank God!”
Osa sighed. “Let’s go home. Ke lapile.”

Tefo’s uncle watched him as he spoke to

nothing and hugged the space in front of him as
if it he was hugging a person. Other relatives
moved back.

He got closer. “Tefo!”

Tefo laughed tearfully and looked at his uncle.

“She is alive. She’s tired, let’s go home.”

Another uncle looked over. “He is losing it.”

Tefo turned to Osa and held her hand then

walked out with her chatting with her.
“I am so happy you are here. We will talk about
everything else tomorrow.”

Tefo’s uncle sighed. “Sit at the backseat with

her. I will drive.”

Tefo got in at the backseat and smiled looking

at her..

“I missed you.”

His uncle got in and watched his nephew kiss

the air. He swallowed and started the car then
drove off.

At Tefo’s house, Tumo parked his car and

walked towards the gate passing cars parked
on the side of the road. Tefo’s car drove in the
yard.

Tumo walked over then watched as their uncle

stepped out.
“Tumo..”

“Where is he?”

“Your brother is seeing things. He’s talking to

her. He has been kidding the air the entire drive
here.”

Tumo opened the back door. Tefo turned and

smiled.

“Hi. You haven’t met my wife?”

Their uncle looked at Tumo.

“That’s what’s going on? I think he’s losing it.”

“It’s just too much for him right now. His brain
is trying to make up ways to comfort him. He’s
hurting.”

Tumo helped Tefo out.

“Hey…”

Tefo smiled and looked back in the car looking

at Osa.

“Come baby.”

Osa smiled. “Go. We have arrived.”

“Come..”

Tumo swallowed and stared into the empty car.

He looked at his brother.

“Tefo…”

Tefo looked at his brother. “I was so scared. I

thought I had lost her.”

“You left Osa at the hospital. She’s not here.”

“But she’s right there.”

“She is not. There is nothing there.”

Tefo laughed. “Open your eyes. Osa is right
there.”

“She is not. Osa is dead.”

Tefo frowned. “I am looking at her!”

Tumo reached inside the car patting the seats.

“See? Nothing. You are not crazy.. it’s ok… you
are just seeing what’s not there. She’s dead. I
know you loved her.”

Tears filled Tefo’s eyes then he turned looking

and there was nothing anymore.

“You scared her.”

“Tefo-“

“She was right there. You scared her.”

“She was never there Tefo. She gave birth today

and… lost her life.”

Tefo looked at him remembering. He moved

back.

“Yes but she was here. She came with me

home.”

“I know but she is dead.”

Tefo blinked. He rubbed his face and walked
out through the gate. Tumo followed him.

“Tefo-“

“Shit! I am going crazy.”

“You are not.. job at your mind playing tricks on

you.”

Tefo bended crying. “I..”

Tumo hugged him. “I am sorry.”

Tefo cried in his brother’s arms. Tumo

swallowed holding his younger brother. A few
relatives watched as Tefo cried. It wasn’t
everyday where you saw a man just cry.

A while later Tumo walked with Tefo inside the

house filled with relatives. He led Tefo to his
bedroom. Tefo looked at his wife’s clothes on
the bed.

He slowly walked over picking her dress and

shifted it. It smelt just like her. He could almost
feel her presence in their bedroom.

Tumo looked around and took a deep breath.

“You need to rest.”

“I want to wake up. I am stuck in a nightmare.”

Tefo sat on his floor holding her top.

The following morning, more relatives parker

their cars outside together with Osa’s friends
and colleagues.

Some of Tefo’s employees and investors

parked their cars too and walked towards the
gate.

Meanwhile Momo parked her car and walked

over covering her face with a scarf.

She walked towards the big house passing

more fancy cars. Most of the arriving people sat
in the white tent outside.

Momo looked around and spotted Tumo

wearing all black talking to one of the uncles.
She walked over and cleared her throat.

“Hi.”

Tumo turned and looked at Momo.

“Maemo.”

“I just wanted to pass by condolences.”

“Thank you.”
“Where is Tefo?”

“He is still busy. I will tell him you passed by.”

She nodded then turned almost bumping into

another woman. Momo walked out through the
gate. The woman looked at Tefo’s brother.

Tefo’s uncle recognized her.

“You are-“

“Arefa. Refa, I was the one taking care of Junior

that time. I just came to…” Refa swallowed. “I
met Mrs David a few times and in all occasions
she was the most gentle soul I had ever met.
Even during the passing of Junior. She believed
me.” Tears filled her eyes. “I just wanted to tell
Tego that I am sorry for his loss.”

“I will take you to him.”

Tefo’s uncle walked with Refa inside the house

to Tefo’s room. He gently knocked and walked
in. He looked at Tefo who was staring into
nothing.

“Tefo…”

Tego slowly turned. Refa walked inside and

looked at him.

“I am sorry Tefo. I know I’m probably the last

person you expect to see.”
Tefo nodded. “Thanks. I’m just… trying to wrap
my mind around everything.”

Refa walked over. “Its denial. I know, when I lost

my mother… I couldn’t believe it. It was hard to
believe. I know how much you loved her. She
was a wonderful person. The job I currently
have.. she got it for me. She asked me to not
tell anyone. I am sorry Tefo..”

Refa sniffed crying. “I wasn’t close to her but I

am so sad. I feel I also lost someone close to
me.”

Tefo rubbed his eyes. He opened his mouth to

say something then laughed.
“God I love her… I tried to love her right. I gave
her my entire heart.. I feel like I am stuck in this
bad dream.”

“I know. I am sorry. It doesn’t get any better…

we just need to accept it.”

“I..” He laughed tearfully. She hugged him trying

not to cry. Tefo silently cried. Refa sniffed
rubbing her own tears. She moved back as
someone knocked on the door.

“I will be outside.”

She walked out. Tefo’s uncle walked in.

“Everyone is waiting outside for you. Let’s go.”

They walked outside. Osa’s colleagues stood up
and started singing a sad hymn.

Everyone else joined in. Tefo stood with his

uncles looking down.

Amara called Chris again in the morning. His

A Week Later…

Amara parked her car in front of Chris’s gate

then stepped out. She looked at his car parked
inside his yard and called him with her new
number.
It rang twice then he picked.

“Hello?”

“Hi, you blocked me?”

“What?”

“Can we talk? I don’t understand what happened.

You are dodging me all of a sudden. What
happened? Where are you?”

“I am not around. Can we talk when I get back?”

“Chris I am looking at your car outside. Can you

be a man and face me! I am outside. Come out
and talk to me. I don’t understand why all of a
sudden you are dodging me.”

“Can we not do this?”

“No. Come out and let’s talk. What’s going on?

Gao mpate?”

He hung up then minutes later he walked out.

He pressed the gate remote and stepped out.

“I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want whatever

it was anymore. I am sorry for the run around.”

“Over what happened last week? It’s already

blown over Chris.”

He chuckled. “This is why I lost interest. You are

not whom I thought you were. I really liked you
but you are not the kind of woman I want to
spend my life with. You are vicious and bitter.
You don’t even see anything wrong with
anything you do.”

“Are we really going to talk about Tefo-“

“That man is your ex! I thought you had moved

on but obviously not. I am going to stick around
with a woman who clearly is stuck on the past. I
don’t know what that man’s wife did to you but
at least I got to see the real you.”

“I am over Tefo. I was just happy that karma

finally visited him. Tefo broke my heart. He left
me-“
“You are not the first or the last person to be
unloved, you sound like a broken record. Did
your sister really kill his son alone? Now I am
starting to wonder if you were part of it.”

“I didn’t know she was going to do that but Tefo

is not innocent.”

“This conversation is useless. The truth is that I

don’t want you anymore. That’s it. You are not
what I am looking for and at this point it’s
pointless to keep you around so let’s just part
ways.”

“So you were just stringing me along?”

Chris laughed. “Stinging you along? Are you

fucken listening to yourself? I never told you at
any point that I liked you. I didn’t even kiss you.
Stringing you along? You are crazy. Leave my
property.”

“Chris wait..”

“I am done with this conversation. I hope you

will one day heal and move on with your life.”

Amara swallowed as he walked back to his

house.

***

Momo finished dressing in all black. She put on

her black sunglasses then walked out of her
house picking her mother’s call.
“Mama..”

“Where are you? The pastor is praying for all

people who can’t seem to find husband’s and
wives.”

“I am ok. Gape I am going to the funeral.”

“What funeral?”

“To Osa’s funeral. I am going to try and mingle.

There will be big business people there.”

“Momo do you really think you stand a chance?”

Momo got in her car. “I am not going there
because I want Tefo.”

“Then have shame my child. Tefo is your ex.

You cannot be attending his wife’s funeral.”

“I am just attending and go back home. I will

talk to you.”

Momo hung up and drove off.

At the grace yard, Momo looked at the big tent

they had set up then looked at Osa’s wedding
picture. She looked so beautiful. Momo sat at
the far back and looked forward staring at the
elegant people who were seated. She tried to
spot Tefo but she could barely see ahead.

***

Dineo parked her jaguar and walked to the

seats in the tent. She sat down looking directly
at her friends beautiful white coffin.

She took off her glasses and took a deep breath

looking at it.

It still felt surreal. Tears bunt her eyes she

sniffed. She looked at Osa’s picture. Her smile
was so beautiful. Dineo put back her glasses as
a tear rolled down.
*

Tumo sat next to his brother. Tefo’s eyes were

stuck on the coffin. Tumo shook him as it got
to his turn to say something.

“Tefo.”

Tefo looked at him. Tumo helped him up and

walked to the podium. Tefo sighed then
chuckled.

“I am not sure what I am supposed to say. Or

where to even begin.” He laughed at tearfully. “I
think somehow I’m hoping it’s still a dream. It
feels just like yesterday when.. she wanted to
hear my wows a day before our wedding. I am
finding it hard to grasp the fact that she’s gone
and I’m never going to see her. I just can’t
believe that just last week we were planning a
trip to Bali and today I am burying her. So I am
sorry if you were expecting a heartfelt speech, I
don’t have one. All I know is that I feel lost. I
have questions that I have no answers to. I
never knew I could love like that till I met her
and… I’m not sure what happens after this. Do I
just accept it and call it a day? Am I just going
to bury her in a hole and leave her behind? Is
that what happens? Am I just going walk away
today leaving her behind and move on as if I
just didn’t leave my heart behind. Is this it? This
is where it ends?” Tears rolled down. “So I am
sorry. I don’t have a speech. I actually don’t
have anything to say because I feel if I say
anything then I am admitting to losing her.”

He walked to the coffin and opened it. He

looked at her and laughed crying.
He gently touched her cold skin. Her makeup
had been done, even her hair.

Tumo rubbed his back. Tefo looked at his

brother in tears.

“Pinch me. There’s no way this is my reality.”

Tumo hugged him. Their uncle walked over and

joined in the hug as Tefo cried.

Tumo pulled his brother to the cars and sighed.

“You have a beautiful daughter.”

Tefo swallowed. “Don’t give me that.”

“And she only has one parent now. That’s you.

Osa left you a gift. She gave up her life to give
you this gift. I don’t know but.. there’s no love
greater than that. She loved you, so much. She
loved you enough to give up her life for you. You
are angry and confused and in denial but damn
this lady loved you. I know it’s still early but we
are all seasons Tefo. When one season ends,
another starts. Osa was a season in your life
and she did her part in your life. She loved you,
she saved you from you. And she gave you a
daughter. One day you will look back and realize
just what she did for you. You are going to be
ok. I know you will.”

Tumo hugged him again.

A YEAR LATER…

A Year Later…

Tefo spoke on his phone through the ear pods

while dressing his daughter. Angel looked at
him and giggled kicking her legs.
“I expected those documents yesterday
afternoon, it’s been hours. If you can’t do your
job, we will replace you. This is money you are
costing me!”

“I apologize Mr David, it’s ready.”

Tefo turned and pulled out a pair of soaks. He

turned and Angie was seated with her hand
inside the Vaseline.

He quickly grabbed her hand.

“What are you doing Ms David?”

“Dada! Dada!” Angie screamed.

Tefo sighed. “I will be in the office in the next 30
minutes. I want you ready for that presentation.
If I don’t like it I am sending you packing so you
can go back to school and work on your
incompetence. I hired you because you showed
me you had potential to make things happen. I
don’t pay you for nothing! Do your job!”

He dropped the call and laughed as Angie

stared at him smiling.

He wiped her hand then finished dressing her.

Tefo looked at her hair, she was super late for
her first day at preschool and they hadn’t even
done her hair. He grabbed a few scrunches and
made little puffs then reached for the gel and
slicked the edges down. Angie looked at him
getting impatient.
“We are done.”

He picked her up and hurried out with her. Tefo

put his daughter on her car seat securing her
with the belt then went back in the house and
grabbed their things. He walked out locking
behind him and drove off.

At the preschool, Tefo parked his car then took

her bag and his daughter out. He walked inside
and he could hear other kids already singing. He
walked to the door he had been pointed to when
he enrolled her. He knocked and waited.

Seconds later the door opened then Refa

stepped out. She looked at Tefo in shock and
smiled.

“Hey!”

Tefo stared at her. “Are you the nursery

teacher?”

Refa nodded. “Is that your daughter?”

“Yeah. We are starting today.”

Refa smiled at her. “Hey… hey cutey… hey cutey,

come baby.” She took her and tickled her. Angie
threw her head back laughing.

Tefo sighed. “I am sort of relieved it’s you.

Should anything happen to my daughter it’s
easier to find you.”

Refa looked at him and he was actually serious.

She nodded.

“She is safe here.”

“Good. Here is her bag. I had already told the

principal the routine she’s on. She doesn’t like
dummies so-“

“No dummies. I know, I got the report. I know

what our Angel here needs. I got it.”

“When I say if anything happens to her I mean

anything. A scratch, a bruise… and don’t give my
child to strangers because this time around I
will make you pay for it.”

Refa forced a smile taking her bag.

“Of cause Mr David. I will be with her all the

time.”

Tefo kissed his daughter’s forehead. Refa

ticked her distracting her from her dad’s
departure.

She walked inside the class with other babies.

Her assistant looked at her.

“Bathong that handover was intense.”

Refa swallowed. “He hates me. Which I
understand why because his son died under my
care. I am going to put a little extra attention on
his daughter. I am scared of him.”

Angie turned her head. “Dada!”

Refa put her bag down and held her properly.

“Dada!”

Angie smiled.

***

Tefo walked in his office. His PA followed

behind.
“Ivy is ready. Should she come in?”

“I need you to call the preschool throughout the

day checking if my daughter is ok. Should
anything arise, tell me. Anything.”

“Yes sir. I will get you your coffee.”

She walked out then the project manager

walked in.

“Mr David –“

“When I told you I was looking to expand my

company you said you could do it.”
“It’s ready. I apologize for the delay. I was
waiting for my team-“

“If the team you have is not working, get a new

team!”

“Yes sir. I apologize.”

She quickly dived into her presentation about

how they will be running a trade financial and
insurance sector in the business.

She wrapped up her presentation a while later.

“The main goal is to establish a business that

offers trade finance services and cargo
insurance to protect clients’ interests during
international shipping.”

“Are these numbers accurate?”

“Yes sir.”

“Let’s run with it. I expect results.”

He turned to his laptop. Ivy looked at him at

wondering if she could leave. Tefo turned to her.

“What are you waiting for?”

“I will be running it?”

He turned to her. “Should I hire someone for it?”

“No. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank
you!”

“HR will be informed to get a replacement for

your current position. Don’t fuck this up.”

“Yes! Yes sir!”

She quickly got up and hurried out. Seconds

later Tefo’s lawyer walked in.

“You just promoted someone?”

Tefo looked at her and smiled. His lawyer

frowned.
“Gorileng?”

“Nothing.”

She sighed. “Good. How is it going with the

business?”

“I am getting into insurance.”

Natasha sighed. “About time!”

He laughed. “What did I do? I have been

behaving.”

“Your step daughter…”

“Yeah?”

“Do you really think it was a good idea to.. give

her the things you gave her? Her son is ok but
she…”

Tefo sighed. “Those were their mother’s things.

Besides she didn’t get all of them at once.
There is still a fortune left. Osa worked hard to
ensure her kids had everything they needed.
She planned for them in the last months she
was alive.”

“Her father called and he feels he deserves to

be the one… keeping her awaiting wealth for
her.”

Tefo clenched his jaws. “He is getting on my

last nerve.”

“I put him in his place. Just be careful, you don’t

know the things people do for money.”

“Thanks. Is that all?”

“Yeah.”

“Waaka you wanted to see me.”

She looked at him. “We should have taken you

to looney bin the time you were losing it. I don’t
think it all came back.”

Tefo laughed as she walked out.

***

Amara printed out a few files in her office then

eat down. She stopped the documents together
exhausted then picked her phone and checked
for any response on the job applications she
had recently sent but no one had responded.

Her phone rang then she picked her neighbor’s

call.

“Hello?”

“Hi, my cousin just told me she’s getting

promoted at her company. She’s going to be
starting another branch and she is heading it so
her current position is available. HR asked her
for a few recommendations, the jobs needs
someone of your qualifications. I think this is it!
And the salary is good!”

Amara’s heart skipped. “Really thamma? I am

ready. Where?”

“Tefo’s Trans. I told her to recommend you.”

Amara felt her excitement lower. “I don’t think

they will hire me.”

“You never know. My cousin never expected to

get hired. Their boss is very strict but he hired
her.”

“Yeah but Tefo.. the owner, he’s my ex. I don’t

think he’d ever hire me and Tefo had always
been clear about not hiring the people he
knows.”

“Ama there is no harm in trying your luck.”

Amara sighed. “Ok.”

She hung and took a deep breath. What would

she even say to him? After that comment on
Facebook. She picked her phone to search him
up but paused at Chris’s post with magadi
pictures.

‘It’s done, nothing feels better than marrying my

best friend ‘.
Amara went through the pictures as her heart
raced. She looked at every picture unable to
ignore the pain in her heart.

She looked at the woman he had married

tearfully. He never posted her and it actually hit
her by surprise.

Amara rubbed her eyes emotionally.

***

At the preschool later that day, Refa laid

another baby to bed. She stood up and turned
as her assistant walked in with Angie crying in
her arms.
Refa walked over.

“What happened?”

“I attending to the other baby so I put her on the

chair for a second and she fell.”

Refa took her and looked at the little blood on

her lip. She swallowed.

“Jesus!”

“I am sorry. I can do the handover when her dad

comes.”

“He is almost here. You shouldn’t have…” Refa

sighed. “Its ok.”
Refa out her on her chest calming her down.
She got a wet wiper she gently wiped her lip as
she kept quiet.

Refa swallowed fearfully. Her office phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Hi, I am calling from Mr David ‘s office, I am

just checking up on Angie.”

“Is he there?”

“He is in a meeting, everything ok?”

“Uh yeah.”

The PA laughed. “He scared you? He’s just

particular when it comes to his daughter.”

“She fell. He’s going to kill me.”

“These things happen. It’s ok.”

“You don’t understand.”

“Just relax. It’s ok.”

Hours quickly went by, Refa looked at the time

and every student they had was gone. It was 30
minutes past pick up time. She looked at Angie
as she played on the floor.

Her assistant looked at her. “My sister is alone

with my child at home. I can’t wait anymore.”

Refa looked at her and nodded..

“You can go..I am sure he’s almost here.”

“I am sorry. Her lip is not as swollen. I think he

will understand. Put all the blame on me.”

“Ok.”

Refa watched her leave. She closer her eyes

going through her explanation of w hat had
happened to his daughter.

She walked out and called the security guard.

“Mosa, please stay close by when the last

parent come.”

“Eemma.”

Minutes later a car pulled up. Refa quickly stood

up and looked. It was him. She watched him
greet the security guard then quickly picked up
Angie and her bag. Tefo walked in the
classroom.

“Sorry I am late.”
Refa nodded shaking “She had a good day, she
cried upon realizing you were not there but
soon she was ok. Uh… she had a little accident
where she fell but it’s nothing much. She’s ok. I
am sorry, she was with another teacher
because I was attending to the rest of the kids. I
will do better tomorrow.”

Tefo looked at his daughter as she smiled at

him then looked at Refa’s face.

He turned and the security guard was waiting at

the door.

“He’s guarding you?”

“I am sorry.”
He took his daughter. “Its ok.”

She handed her bag then he walked out. Refa

breathed out. She grabbed her bag and locked
the door before hurrying out of the school
premises passing Tefo’s car at the gate.

Tefo started the engine and drove slowly. He

rolled down his window approaching her.

“Get in. I will drop you off.”

“I am fine, I –“

“Arefa get in the car. I said I will drop you off.”

“I stay-“

“Don’t make me ask you again.”

She looked at him and nodded then reached for

the backseat door handle.

“Come in front.”

She walked round the car and jumped in. Tefo

drove off.

She held her bag directing him. Moments later

he parked in front of her house.

“Thank you. We can change her teacher if you

want Tefo. There’s another –“
“I want you. I will be on time tomorrow.”

She looked at him then nodded and stepped out.

Momo walked out of her Café and locked up.

She turned as a man rushed over.

She moved back holding her handbag tightly

and her laptop bag. He quickly put up his hands.

“I need 6 mega muffins. Please. I know you are

closer but… pretty please.”

Momo laughed recognizing him as he came to

the light. He always ordered the same thing
almost everyday.

“You are late.”

“Thamma kea go kopa..if I don’t get them, my

kids won’t go to school tomorrow.”
“Go to Spa or ShopRite.”

“They want yours only. I am begging you..I will

pay double the price.”

“They are finished.”

“Fuvk!”

She looked at his cute face as he said that then

laughed. “Come back tomorrow –“

“They leave early in the morning. I’m fucked.”

“I can give you the recipe to give to their mom.”

“The mother is not present in their lives and I
am sure I will just make a mess of the kitchen.
Thamma I will pay you P300!”

“P500. Those muffins at not just regular

muffins.*

He laughed. “You are serious?”

Momo pressed her car keys and her new sky

blue Haval flashed it’s lights. He bit his lower
lip and smiled.

“Ok.”

“Do pay to cell. You might reverse ewallet.”

“I am not like that.”

“I don’t know you. Do…”

He took out his phone and paid P600 instead.

Momo smiled then unlocked the Café and
walked with him inside. She locked behind her
and walked to the kitchen.

He followed her. “I can help you.”

She smiled. “Stand back..I got this.”

He nodded and watched her move around the

kitchen. Twenty minutes later she put the
muffin tray in the oven.
“Now we wait.”

“Thank you for doing this.”

Momo laughed. “I did it for money.”

He chuckled. “Bokani by the way.”

“Maemo.”

She cleaned up her kitchen then later took out

the muffins and decorated then packaged them.
She handed them to him.

“I hope your kids enjoy that.”

“Thank you.”

Momo smiled then took her bags.

“We can go.”

She walked out with him. Bokami smiled at her.

“Ok. I can’t anymore.”

Momo looked at him confused. “What?”

“I first met you weeks ago at the gym. You were

under coach T. I saw you for two days and
when I finally had it in me to talk to you, you
never came back to the gym. I looked for you
and found out you owned this place so I started
coming here just to see you. I am 36 year old
man, two kids, one adopted and the other with
my ex who just decided she was done and
moved on with her life. I have a full time job as
an accountant and I like you and I want to take
you out on a date.”

Momo stared at him. “The muffins –“

“Are for me. All of them.”

She laughed. “I can’t believe you just made bake

for you.”

He smiled. “I wanted to see you. I knocked off a

little late today. I couldn’t go home without
seeing you.”
“And if I have a boyfriend?”

“He is not my business. Kana you want to bring

him on our date?”

Momo laughed. “Bye!”

Bokani smiled. “I will see you tomorrow.”

She turned to him and smiled then unlocked her

car and jumped in. She drove off and smiled
alone.

***

The following morning at Tefo’s Trans, Amara

walked inside the tall building in a white dress.
She smiled headed to the reception.

“Good morning, I am here for HR, I have an early

appointment with her.”

The receptionist smiled. “And you are?”

Amara said her full names.

“For Mrs Ivy Ndaba’s position.”

“Oh… uh I think it wasn’t noted down. Second

floor. Second door to your left.”

“Thank you.”
Amara walked to the elevator, she could feel her
heart racing already. It was worth a short
though she wouldn’t get the job.

She went to the second floor and stepped out.

There was another reception but there was no
one yet. Amara walked where she had been
directed and knocked on the HR door.

“Yes!”

She pushed the door open and walked in. The

HR looked at her and smiled.

“Morning… are you Ms Wedu? I am not seeing

you till 9 or what?”
“No I am not. I am Amara, I don’t have an
appointment but I am here for an interview for a
project manager position that I hear will be
vacant. I am usually very respectful of people’s
time and offices but I felt the need to come and
pitch myself as I know I am capable of
delivering top tier results on this position so if
you have a moment, I’d like to sell myself to
you.”

The HR looked at her silently then she dived in.

15 minutes later she smiled.

“And that’s all.”

The HR stood up. “We are not in a movie where

you just… badge in people’s offices and think
you will walk out with a job. This is reality and
quite frankly, you had to make an appointment
but at the same time because this job hasn’t yet
been advertised, you were to wait then send in
your application. We would have then asked you
to come for a interview. As much as your little…
speech was very impressive, I am going to need
you to come back for an interview officially next
week Monday. I like you. Close the door on your
way out.”

Amara smiled. “Thank you.”

She walked out and laughed alone trying to

relax. She walked to the elevator just as the
doors slid open. Tefo looked up and stared at
her. Amara swallowed as she froze.

Tefo smiled. “Here to set my company ablaze?”

She looked at him and chuckled. “No. Ke kopa
tiro.”

He laughed. “After rejoicing my wife’s death?”

“I… that was pain and anger speaking. I think I

am better person now.”

Tefo stepped out. “If I have you here everyday,

seeing your face, I will hate you more than I
already do and it won’t be nice for you. Trust me.
Have a good day.”

He walked to the stairs calling someone. Amara

breathed out and got in the elevator shaking
slightly.
***

Tefo walked in his phone holding his phone to

his ear. Refa picked her phone and almost
whispered.

“Hello?”

“I came on time. You were not there.”

“I am not feeling well… I..” Her voice faded as

she grunted as if she was in pain.

“Are you ok?”

“Angie will be well taken care of. I have to go.”

“Wait..”

She hung up.

***

Refa laid on her bed groaning on the pillow. Her

phone rang again. She tried to ignore it but it
continued ringing.

“Tefo..”

“Where do you stay?”

“I am not supposed to talk to you about

anything beyond your daughter and the school.
Who even gave you my personal number?”

“The other teacher. O na kae? If you don’t tell

me I am going to call the school and tell them
you let my daughter fall yesterday.”

“Accidents happen everyday!”

“Where do you stay? Tell me or I’m still going to

find out.”

***

Tefo drove through a yard and parked his car at

the back in front of a bachelor pad then stepped
out. The door opened then Relax walked out
holding on to the wall bended a little bit.

Tefo looked at her. “What is wrong?”

“I.. my periods are very painful. The first day is

always worse. You wouldn’t understand. I will
be in tomorrow.”

“Have you went to the hospital? It might be

something serious.”

She opened her mouth to speak but the little

porridge she had managed to eat made it’s way
back. She staggered into her house going to the
bathroom where she vomited everything out.
Tefo held her hand as everything came out.
Refa flushed the toilet and washed her mouth.
“How long have you had this?”

“Years.”

“You were like this when you came to my

house?”

“Yes. I didn’t tell you because I was desperate

for a job. Most people won’t hire you if you tell
them.”

She laid on the floor on her stomach. Tefo

picked her up.

“We are going to the hospital!”

“Why are you here?”

He looked at her and she sighed. “I know you
probably dislike me and I fully understand. Why
are you not moving your daughter? And why are
you here?”

“You want the truth?”

“Yes. Your son died under my care.”

“You look very pretty and I want to sleep with

you. That’s all. And I don’t hate you.”

She looked at him in shock. Tefo walked with

her to her bed.

“Where are your shoes? We are going to see a

doctor.”

Tefo finished dressing Refa. She bended as the

pain worsened. It felt as if her back was
breaking apart. She tried to stand still but the
pain made her bend over as tears filled her eyes.

Tefo picked her up.

“I know someone there. She will attend you

quickly.”

“It’s too painful… I…”

She closed her eyes crying. Tefo hurried out
and put her in the car. He locked her door and
jumped in then drove off making a call.

“Dr. Buu’s office, hello?”

“Hi, ke Tefo. I am bringing someone over with

serious period pains. Can she be attendant to
immediately?”

“Uh she has a 20 minutes open period.”

“I am on my way.”

Tefo hung up stepping on the accelerator.

Minutes later he parked his car. He picked her
up. Refa looked at his car seat realizing she had
stained it.

“I will clean it. I am sorry.”

“It’s ok.”

Tefo carried her to the doctor’s office. The

doctor looked at Refa and put on her gloves.

“Tefo..”

“Hi.. she says she’s in pain. Can’t you give her

something to ease then down? And..” His phone
rang. He took it out and looked at Refa.

“She will attend to you. I have to take this.”

Tefo walked out picking.

“Tumo..”

“O kae? I am at your office, gatwe you just left.”

“I have an emergency I’m attending to.”

“Oh.. I wanted to tell you that I’m thinking of

getting married. I already spoke to bo malome
and they are on board.”

“She is pregnant isn’t she?”

Tumo laughed. “Yeah. Sometimes I want to

thank God for making me bump into Gee that
time at the shop.”

“I am happy for you.”

“Thanks. Ware o kae?”

“Where are you taking that information to?”

“You sound defensive. Ke mosadi?”

“No.”

“Still feel like you are cheating on her?”

Tefo sighed. “Osa is the only woman in my

heart. There will never be anyone who can
replace her.”

“Don’t limit yourself from finding love again.”

“She died with my heart. I have to go. We will

talk.”

Tefo hung up and walked back in the office. He

looked at Refa lying on the bed.

She looked at him feeling drowsy. Tefo looked

at the doctor.

“Is she ok?”

“Yes. Just something for the pain. She has

fibroids. Numerous fibroids which causes the
heavy bleeding and severe pain.”

Refa blinked tearfully.

“She needs a Myomectomy. This surgical

procedure involves removing the fibroids while
preserving the uterus.”

“And when can it be scheduled?”

Refa tried to get up. “I don’t have money. I have

a lot on my plate. I am helping taking care of my
siblings and my sister’s baby. I can’t afford it.”

Tefo put his phone in his pocket.

“Book it.”

Refa looked at him and started crying. “I don’t

have money.”

Tefo ignored her looking at the doctor.

“What does she need in the meantime?”

Tefo spoke to the doctor as if Refa wasn’t there.

Minutes later he carried her out. She looked at
him.

“I am not doing it. I don’t have money for it.”

He put her in the car.

“Who said you will be paying for it?”

“The government won’t pay for it. I don’t have a

medical aid.”

He strapped her with the seatbelt like he always

did with his daughter. Refa sniffed as Tefo
closer the door and walked round his car. She
looked at the ring on his finger and looked away
getting lost in her thoughts.

Tefo parked at her house and helped her out.

Refa rubbed her eyes.
“Thank you for taking me to the doctor.”

“I will pick you up on Friday. Your surgery has

been booked. Take a day off.”

“I just told you I –“

“Stop talking. You heard what the doctor said.

Here are your medication.”

She looked at him. “How will I pay for it?”

Tefo got in his car and drove off. She walked

inside her house picking her colleague’s call.

“Hi.”
“Hey, how are you feeling?”

“Better. I went to see a doctor.”

“Mma rragwe Angie was looking for you.”

“I know. He came to my house.”

“What did he want?”

“He says he wants to sleep with me then from

there he takes me to see an expensive doctor
and she says I need a surgery. I know and I also
know how expensive it is. He won’t even listen
to me.”
“Maybe payment is you sleeping with him. Ene
mma o sexy gore, tall, dark and handsome. He
has a nice body too and even his walk is sexy.
He has that lazy voice yet commanding. I
wouldn’t mind.”

Refa frowned. “I am not going to sleep with

Natefo for..”

Refa hung up and called him.

“Refa.”

“I am not going to sleep with you ever Natefo.”

“You are.”
“I am not. I am never going to..”

“I am not going to discuss when we are having

sex while you are in pain kana ke gone o
fodileng? I wasn’t asking you, I was telling you.
Eat something and rest o tswe mo sex. (And
leave sex alone.)”

“I am not prostitute!”

“Do you want me to come back so we discuss it

face to face?”

She held her phone.

“Thought so. I will you on Friday.”

He hung up.

***

Tefo turned by the filling station then parked his

car as a filling station attendant rushed over to
him.

He sighed thinking of the days he was in that

position. He leaned back thinking of just hard it
had been. Finding that job hadn’t been easy. He
still remembered how he had celebrated when
he got it. It didn’t pay much but it had been
something.

“Sure!”
He bumped fists with the filling station
attendant.

“Full tank laitaka.”

“Sure boss.”

Tefo turned and frowned looking at Lawrence

with a lady in his car. He watched as they
kissed then Lawrence stepped out and walked
inside the shop. Tefo stepped out of his car just
as the lady turned. He walked over to her
smiling and immediately noticed her ring.

“Hi.”

She looked at his smile and smiled back.

“Hello..”

“I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful you are.

Are you from here?”

She chuckled. “Yes.”

“Wow… o monte. Was that your husband?”

“Yes. We got married 7 months ago.”

“Damn! All the pretty ones are always taken. I

don’t think I will be able to get you out my head
anytime soon. You name?”

“Letty.”
Tefo handed her his business card.

“I have a business trip to Mauritius coming

soon, come with me. Just a weekend away. As
friends of cause.”

She looked at his business card and looked

closely.

“You own Tefo Trans?”

“Yeah.”

Tefo looked as Lawrence walked out then

smiled at Letty.
“Text me. Maybe we can do last minute
shopping on Saturday morning then leave
Saturday evening. I won’t hurt you.”

Tefo walked to his car. Lawrence walked over

pissed.

“What the fuvk are you doing?”

Tefo smiled. “Its payback… I’m going to ruin you.

I’ve got nothing to lose. I won’t stop till all you
feel is pain.”

Tefo gave the filling station attendant cash

starting his engine.

“Keep the change.”

He drove off. Lawrence walked to his car while
the filling attendant counted the 5 more P200
notes that the customer had paid over his bill.
He jumped happily.

Meanwhile Lawrence got in his car and looked

at his wife.

“What was he saying?”

She innocently looked at him. “Just hi.”

“He spoke to you for a while.”

“He was just greeting. Let’s go. I am hungry.”

Three Days Later…

Letty walked inside her office after lunch and

looked at the flowers on her desk. She smiled
wondering if Lawrence had bought them for her.
It had been a while he last had done something
like that.
She picked the red roses smiling then looked at
the box next to it. She giggled opening it and
gasped looking at the money inside.

Her heart pounded as she doubted it to P5000

then picked the black thong.

A note fell. She picked it up shaking.

‘Wear that for me in Mauritius.”

She laughed, now it made sense. She bit her

lower lip wondering just how rich this man was.
Money was obviously not an issue to him. He
had ewalleted that P500 yesterday for lunch
and now it was this.
Her phone rang. She looked at him calling an
picked with a smile.

“Tefo I am married. My husband –“

“Let this be the last time I call you and you

mention your husband to me wa nkutwa?”

Her voice softened. “Yes.”

“Take that money and get some clothes for

tomorrow.”

“Ok.”

“What are you wearing?”

She smiled. “A black dress.”

“Lock the door and undress. I want you to touch

yourself calling out my name till you cum. Take
a video and send it to me. And take off
everything.”

“Ok.”

He hung up. Letty locked the door and set up

her phone. A while later she sent him the video
smiling. He responded.

Tefo: Good girl. See you tomorrow at the airport.

She smiled then quickly dressed up. She looked

at her husband calling. Somehow now all he did
bored her. If other men could give her money
without her even asking what was stopping him.
In only three days Tefo had given her so much
attention that her husband hadn’t given her in a
while. She ignored the call and sat down on her
chair.

***

Amara went through her emails. Her phone

vibrated ringing.

“Hello?”

“Hi, you are talking to Mavis from Tefo Trans, is

this Ms –“
“Yes! Yes it’s Amara.”

“Amara, we were really impressed with your CV

and-“

“I didn’t get it? I understand.”

Mavis laughed. “As I was saying, we were really

impressed with your CV and the confidence you
had during the interview. We would like for you
to come to our offices tomorrow morning for
one last interview before we have you sign your
contract.”

Amara screamed jumping off her chair.

Mavis laughed. “I hope you are ready for the job.

You will be watched closely.”

Amara laughed. “Jesus yes!”

“While you celebrate like that, I really really hope

you are ready for this. The call to hire you came
right from the boss. You better not disappoint.”

“Tefo- sorry, Mr David?”

“Yes. We will see you tomorrow.”

Mavis hung up. Amara smiled happily but then

what if… what if all this was a trap. She knew
Tefo hadn’t really forgiven her so what was the
catch?
She bit her lower lip but… this was a once in a
lifetime opportunity. She’d do her job perfectly,
not give him any reason to torture her. She
smiled and put her hands on her face imagining
her 6 figure salary.

She put her hands on her face the thought of it

being a trap stole her joy a little bit.

***

Later that day, Tefo jumped in his car and

looked at time calling his mother in-law.

“My son..”

“Mama, you collected Angie?”

“Yes.”

“Ok. I will send you some money to help with

the grocery.”

“It’s ok. You send us money monthly, we have

that. Kana we are old people Tefo..all this
money you send us, half of the time we don’t
even know what to do with it.”

Tefo smiled. “You should start traveling. Papa o

teng?”

“Yes, here..”

Rragwe Osa spoke. “Tefo…”

“I spoke to the guy who does branding. O ta
kamoso to brand all the cows.”

“Thank you my boy.”

“Le siame akere? (You are ok right?)”

“Yes, uh… there’s an issue I am going to talk

about with you next week. Nothing serious. We
as a family have just been… discussing getting
you someone to help you in the house. It’s an
unfortunate that Osa didn’t have any sister but
she was close with one of her cousins, you
know her… Rachel. That sweet light in
complexion girl.”

Tefo chuckled. “I am ok, I have a nanny.”

“We know but a nanny can’t do everything for
you can she? Rachel is a good woman and she
loved Osa, she would love Angie as her own.
You are grown, I think you understand what I
am trying to say. You need a woman in your life
to help you. You are a man and you have needs.
Think about it and if you want Rachel can come
to visit you for the weekend. I spoke to her
father and everyone is in agreement.. I motona,
I think you understand. Think about it.”

“Eerra.”

Tefo hung up surprised.

***
Mmagwe Osa looked at her husband.

“Why are you forcing this girl on Tefo?”

“She is good for him or would you rather have a

complete stranger than may abuse our
grandchild?”

“Its too early. Tefo is still grieving. He still wears

his ring.”

“We need to address this while it’s still early. I

loved our daughter and I know it’s painful to
watch her husband with a new wife but rather
it’s someone we know than a complete
stranger. These things used to happen. Osa
didn’t have a sister, her cousin will go and
resume the duties. She will love him and Angie.
She will give him more children.”

Mmagwe Osa held Angie looking away

unhappily.

***

Tefo parked his car at Refa’s house later that

evening after freshening up and stepped out.
He knocked on her door.

Refa opened in her gown. Tefo looked at her

thighs inhaling that citrus like shower gel from
her.

“Hi.”
“What are you doing here?”

Tefo out his hands on her waist her gently

pushed her back in the house and closer the
door with his foot.

“Are you ready for tomorrow?”

“Tefo I told you that the operation is something

I can’t afford. It’s life, some of us will just die
with our health problems. I have accepted it. My
mother died, I will probably die the same way.”

He got closer looking In her eyes.

“Who said you were paying?”

She looked up at him. “I don’t want anything
from you.”

“If you don’t have them taken out you will never
have children. Think of your future.”

Tears filled her eyes. “I don’t want to live

knowing I owe you.”

“I don’t expect anything in return.”

She blinked. “Really?”

“Yeah… except for this.”

Tefo leaned over and kissed her. Her brain shut

down as Tefo took control of her mouth. Her
heart raced, Tefo pulled her closer pressing her
body against his.

At Refa’s house, Refa pulled away breathing

heavily and swallowed.

“Tefo I can’t… please. We can’t..”

“Can’t what? I am here to check if you are ready
for tomorrow.”

“You can’t kiss me for a lot of reasons.”

Tefo pulled her with her waist. He looked in her

eyes, she blinked.

“Tefo.. the school..”

“What is it?”

He backed her up till her back was against the

wall and got closer.
“Have you taken your medication tonight?”

She looked at him as her heart pounded, he was

so close and made it difficult to breathe. “I was
about to.”

He kissed her again opening her morning gown

revealing the nightdress she was already
wearing. He kissed her so good she found
herself kissing him back. The kiss intensified as
she thought of pulling away and putting him in
line.

He was here to sleep with her. Tefo slid his

hand inside her dress. He gently caressed her
thighs then her stomach and back.

Tefo moved his mouth to her neck. Refa closed

her eyes breathing heavily trapped against the
wall. Her nipples hardened.

She bit her lower lip and touched his head.

“Tefo.. please..”

Tego looked at her, his eyes filled with nothing

but want.

“What is it?”

“I.. we can’t do this.”

“I am going to fuvk you, what do you need? Say

the word and you will have it.”
“Rra?”

He kissed her and slid his hand between her

legs and inside her panty. He swallowed parting
her p*ssy lips and slid his fingers between her
wet slit.

Tefo groaned in her mouth as his dic jerked

hardening in his pants. There was no way he
was leaving without being inside her.

She was dripping. Tefo kissed her harder gently

rubbing her clit.

Refa pulled away moaning. Tefo paused and

took off her gown.
“What do you need? Rent paid? Money? Do you
need money?”

Tefo squeezed her breast then leaned over

sucking her nipples through the dress, the
effect making Refa squeeze her thighs together.
He went further down sliding her dress and
pulled out her panties. She looked at him
breathing heavily. Tefo groaned staring, she
looked so beautiful.

He leaned over rolling his tongue in-between.

Refa threw her head back moaning as he
muffed her. Refa tried closing her legs. Tefo
muffed her till she closed her eyes spasming.

“Ahh…Tefoo ohhh..”
He got up, his lips finding hers again as he
pushed a finger inside. Tefo bit her lower lip as
her p*ssy snugged on his finger.

She was so tight.

“Shiiit..”

Refa moaner softly. “I want 5k.”

Tefo tapped her upper plates locating her gspot.

“Ok.”

He tapped it till she vibrated in his arms cuming.

Tefo stepped on her underwear making her step
out of it.

“Lift your night dress.”

He unzipped his pants and that thick hard

veined dic rolled out as she lifted her night
dress.

Refa looked at it and swallowed. “8k!”

Tefo curved his back and ran it between her slit.

Refa looked at him, she hadn’t had sex in years
but he obviously was doing it.

“Condom Tefo..”
“I don’t have one. This wasn’t my intention. I will
pull out. I am clean but we will test after this…”

“Tefo-“

Tefo pushed through her flaps and pressed on

her entrance. He kissed her and #removed.
.

His dic jerked inside her as he deeper and

harder grunting. Her p*ssy clung on to him
sucking out his cum. He tapped her
uncontrollably, Refa opened her mouth
screaming as an uncontrollable wave of
pleasure hit her from all ends knocking her out
of breath as she gushed.

Tefo carried on fuvking out that squirt. He gave

her a couple strokes and groaned squeezing her
body spilling that cum inside her.

Tefo kissed her buried deep inside. She let go

of her nightdress breathing heavily and weakly.

Tefo slid out and picked her up then placed her

on the bed.

She looked at him exhausted then his phone

started ringing.

He took it out and frowned annoyed picking.

“I will call you!”

He hung up then pressed his phone. Refa’s

phone flashed as a message came through.

She turned reaching for it and looked at the FNB

message.

“You sent –“

Tefo pulled her to the edge of the bed and took

off her nightdress.

“To cover for the rest of the night.”

She tried to talk but he shut her up with a kiss

getting on top of her.

***
The following morning Refa moaned into the
pillow convulsing. Tefo gave her one last stroke
then pulled out. He got up and walked to her
bathroom. She laid on her stomach slowly
falling asleep. Tefo walked out and dressed up.

“Refa..”

He looked at her but she was fast asleep. Tefo

kissed her then walked out locking her inside
the house and pushed the kiss underneath the
door. He jumped in his car and drove off calling
a number.

“Yeah?”

“I tracked both of them down. They now stay in

London. Moved months ago from Ireland. I will
keep trailing them.”

“Ok.”

Tefo hung up driving off.

Refa turned on her bed hours later waking up.

She blinked while her body ached. Every part of
her was painful.

She slowly got up realizing she was alone. She

walked to her bathroom to pee then walked
back minutes later and picked her phone calling
him. His phone just rang, it didn’t surprise her
he was now ignoring her. Things always fell
apart after sex and that’s why she just never
bothered but at least she had 20k in her
account.

A car drove in outside. She walked to sitting

room and opened the door then watched him
step out holding two plastics and a milkshake
on the other hand.

Tefo walked over.

“I got you a milkshake. And some emergency

pills.”

“I thought you weren’t coming back.”

Tefo stared at her. “Why would you think that?”

“Because you had what you wanted.”

He looked in her eyes then walked in her house.

Tefo got her a glass of water from her kitchen

while she watched him.

He took out the first pill and put it in her mouth

then helped her drink the water swallowing the
pill.

“I will give you the other one later.”

“Ok.”

“Are you ok?”

“Yes.”

Tefo kissed her. “Go and freshen up. We need

to go to the hospital.”
She looked at him wondering if he would still
make her pay for it through sex. Tefo caught
her looking at him.

“What?”

“Are you going to want sex in return?”

“No but I am still going to fuck you. I need to

make a call. Go and bath. And bring your ID and
passport.”

Refa looked inside the plastics of food and

walked to her bedroom. She stood under the
shower thinking how he had done it to a point
she couldn’t feel herself anymore.
Her body had felt things she never thought she
could ever feel in her life. She smiled recalling
the state her body had been in.

Refa walked out of the house minutes later

drinking her milkshake while Tefo spoke on his
phone. From his tone she could tell it was a
serious conversation.

He turned to her and wrapped up the call. Refa

took a deep breath as he walked over.

“O sharp?”

She nodded. He helped her inside the car and

jumped in then drove off.
“I am passing by the office picking up
something.”

“Ok.”

Tefo drove to his company then looked at her.

“You can come.”

“I can remain in the car.”

He got out and opened the door for her. Refa

slowly stepped out with a sigh of defeat then he
held her hand and walked with her inside. They
walked past the reception and got inside the
elevator while a few of his employees stared.
She looked at herself and took a deep breath as
the elevator doors closed.

“I feel underdressed.”

Tefo looked at her. “Why? I love your dress.”

“Did you see what your employees are

wearing?”

“That’s them. This is you. I love your dress. You

don’t always have to fit in.”

He pulled her closer kissing her. “There is

nothing wrong with being your own person.”

The doors open them he walked out with her.

They walked in his office. Refa looked at the big
spacious office. It looked like it could be a
home but it was an office. A woman in slacks
and white shirt walked in.

“Good morning Mr David..”

Tefo looked at her then at Refa.

“Give her your passport and ID. Book her ticket.

The seat next to mine.”

His PA nodded. “Yes sir. And the uh..”

“Put her in economy class. Whatever seat.”

Refa looked at Tefo. “What’s going on?”

***

Amara parked her car at Tefo’s Trans and

walked inside the building. A lady by the
reception smiled at her.

“Amara right?”

“Eemma.”

“Ok, Mavis here, come, Mr David is here to sign

a document. Maybe he can just see you.”

Amara took a deep breath then followed after

her to Tefo’s office. Mavis knocked then
walked in. Tefo looked up at her.
“Yeah?”

“Ivy’s replacement is here.”

She opened the door wider then Amara walked

in. She looked at Tefo then the woman he was
with. Amara smiled looking at Refa. He was
probably hiring her back for his daughter.

Refa smiled back. Tefo picked his phone

making a call.

“Come and take Refa. If she needs anything,

give it to her.”

He hung up. His PA walked in a second later.

Tefo looked at Refa and held her hand.

“You can go with her. I will be done here shortly

and we will leave.”

Refa walked out together with Mavis leaving

Amara alone with Tefo.

“Thank you.”

Tefo nodded looking at her. If only she knew..

“You are welcome. When are you leaving your

current job? We need you here as soon as
possible.”

“I have submitted an immediate resignation

letter.”

“Good. I hope you are ready for this.”

“Yes. You are sleeping with the maid?”

“Excuse me?”

“I saw how you looked at her. You are sleeping

with her?”

“I have never had an employee lose a job just

before signing a contract.”

“I am sorry I just.. I am sorry.”

“Who I sleep with is not my employee’s
business and will never be.”

She nodded. He pointed at the door reading

through a document then signed it. Amara
walked out. She looked at Refa standing by
Tefo’s PA’s glass desk then smiled.

“Hi.”

Refa smiled. “Hey. It’s been long.”

Amara nodded staring at her. Her beauty wasn’t

the type to take her by surprise or make her
question herself. It was clear Tefo was going to
pick anything with a vagina. She doubted Refa
even had any background education.
“So you and Tefo?”

Refa smiled. “I am Angie’s preschool teacher.”

Amara laughed. “I see.. o raya gore you are not

sleeping with him?”

“Ma?”

Amara smiled. “I mean you know it wouldn’t last

right? Even if you were. He would just use you
and move on. He’s still wearing his ring till date
meaning he hasn’t moved on past his wife. Who
would anyways? No one will ever come close to
what Osa was. Some of us can try because we
have degrees and jobs… some ijo… the
competition ya teng won’t be easy. Imagine
competing with a dead person. Do you have a
degree kana ke certificate in what? Early
education? Am I the only one who thinks taking
care of children is just something you don’t
even have to go to school for? Anywho, good
luck.”

“I don’t want Tefo sweetheart so I don’t have a

problem. You had that degree and a job and he
still left you to marry another woman behind
your back. The fact that you don’t think
someone needs education to take care of
children says a lot about your intellectual
intelligence. Who Tefo is with bothers you so
much which makes me want to believe you
haven’t gotten over what happened which is
truly sad. There are free counselors out there.
Give them a call. Bye."

Amara stared her speechless, taken aback. She

tried to gather herself trying to think of a
response but Tefo’s PA walked over with glass
tray that had a glass of water.

She handed it to Refa smiling. “So have you

ever flown before?”
Refa turned to her, Amara took a deep breath
and walked away. Refa smiled at Tefo’s PA.

“No… I don’t want to go anywhere.”

The PA laughed. “Yes. If he says you are then

you are going. It’s Mauritius. We need to get you
a few outfits. I have already placed orders so
we should be getting a few pieces.”

“I have my clothes, besides I just said-“

“Mr David asked I take care of you. That’s my

job. You are booked for a minor surgery so I will
have your bags packed.”

Tefo walked out of his office. His PA looked at

him.

“I have booked her flight ticket."

“Good. I need you to attend today’s meeting and

take notes. Email me. Ask Debbie for that report.
Make sure it’s what I need and send it. If Amara
is not here on Monday terminate her contract
with immediate effect.”

“Yes sir.”

Tefo pulled Refa’s hand.

“Let’s go. I just spoke to the doctor and she

says it's best you do the surgery when we get
back from the trip. It will give you time to
recover."

Refa noticed eyes on them then pulled her

hand. Tefo walked with her to his office.

“What’s wrong?”

She sighed. “Nothing.”

“What’s nothing? What happened?”

“Tefo o bata ke reng?! I said nothing! Why were

you even bringing me here? To show me just
beneath you I am? So your exes talk to me
however they want? I am not a prostitute and I
am not going anywhere with you. Nkise lapeng!”
Tefo stared at her.

“Koteng kemo lekani wa gago akere? (I’m

probably your age mat right?)”

She rolled her eyes. Tefo walked to the door

and locked it then walked over grabbing her
neck and kissed her pulling up dress. She
whimpered tasting blood in her mouth. Her
heart pounded, she could feel his anger through
that kiss. He turned her around pressing her on
his desk unzipping his pants. Refa gasped as he
rammed inside her hard and deep. She tried to
raise her head screaming but he pressed her
down and…

.
Tefo dug deeper increasing his pace fucking her
harder in silence. Refa closer her eyes feeling
him everywhere. She tried to keep still knowing
if she moved he was going to spank her hard
but then that pain… fuvk!

“Tefo… Tefo… wait.. baby please…”

He pulled her from his desk and stood with her

in the middle of the room fucking her deep. She
stood on her toes.

“Aww awww… ohhh..”

“Touch your knees.”

“Tefo baby please…”

“Touch your knees!”

She slowly bended feeling it go deeper. Tefo…

Refa’s eye twitched as pleasure ran through her

body.

She grabbed his arm stiffening, Refa pressed

her thighs together as he pounded her from
behind

Her eyes rolled creaming his dic with her cum.

Tefo stroked her and stilled, his dic pulsating
inside her as he released his seeds into her.
He slowly slid out moments later and turned her
around.

“The next time you talk to me like that or roll

your eyes at me you will wake up at the hospital.
When I ask you if there’s anything wrong I
expect you to talk because you are not a baby.
O seka wa thola o ntena ka attitude ya masepa
wa nkutwa?”

She looked at him as something sat on her

throat. Tears filled her eyes.

“Did you hear me?”

Her voice shook as she spoke while a tear fell.

“Yes.”
“Sutha dilo tseo, o bata go mbora. (Wipe those
things, you want to bore me.)"

She rubbed her eyes. Tefo fixed his pants. She

sniffed putting her panty in place then followed
him out sniffing.

He walked with her to his car and helped her

inside. His phone rang as he closed the door
then he jumped in picking.

“Hello?”

“Tefo, Angie has been crying for you. Talk to

her.”
Tefo started the engine and drove off.

“My Angel..”

“Dada!”

Tefo smiled as she cried.

“Hey…why are you crying? Listen to daddy..”

Refa watched him as he spoke to his daughter

gently. It was as if he was a complete different
person from the beast that had just fucked her.

She looked at his smile, it made him even more

handsome and somehow less scary.
He wrapped up the call headed to the hospital.

***

Amara signed her contract and smiled.

“Thank you so much.”

The HR smiled. “You are welcome. I will ask

Mavis to show you to your office so you don’t
struggle on Monday.”

“Ok.”

Amara walked with her then Mavis smiled

walking over. The HR nodded and walked back
to her office. Amara walked with Mavis to her
new office.

“I can’t believe this is me.”

Mavis laughed. “Welcome mma.”

“I am shocked that Mr David is sleeping with a

maid. Grief does things to people. I would have
never expected him to choose someone who’s
way below him.”

“That lady in his office? She’s a maid?”

“Yes. Men are funny creatures.”

“I never thought he’d move on from Osa.
Anyways, here is your new office.”

Anara walked in and giggled happily.

***

Later that day in the evening, Lawrence’s wife

walked inside the airport with her bag. She
looked around trying to locate Tefo. She took
out her phone minutes later and called him.

His phone rang. She smiled as he picked.

“Hi.”

“Yeah?”
She cleared her throat. “I have arrived.”

“Ok, kea tsena. (I'm walking in.)"

She turned to the entrance and watched him

walk inside with a woman. She dropped the call
in shock.

Lawrence’s wife tried to not panic but he was

with another woman. She sent him a message

Letty: Who is this you are with? This is not what

we agreed on. You never said anything about
that. I am not leaving my husband to share you.
It’s either us or nothing.
Tefo responsed.

Tefo: Till you divorce him there’s nothing I can’t

do. She’s coming with. I will make time for the
both you. File for divorce and we will talk about
anything serious. Matter of fact tell him you
want a divorce before we leave or I am
cancelling this trip.

Letty stared at the message in shock.

At Sir Seretse Khama International Airport, Letty

stared at the message, her heart pounding. She
looked up at Tefo was already in the queue with
the woman. She swallowed. Her phone rang as
she tried to think of away forward.

She looked at her husband calling.

“Hi.”

“Hey, I already miss you.”

Letty stared at Tefo. It had only been a few days.

What if things didn’t work out with him..
“Oh..”

“Yeah. I wish I was going with you.”

“I want to go on a vacation. Maybe to

Mauritius.”

Lawrence chuckled. “I would love that but once

business gets back to normal. Right now my
money is not flowing right.”

“Can’t we use the savings?”

“You know we have plans for that money right?”

“I just want to go for a vacation Lawrence.
When last did that ever happen? I want to travel
the world.”

“I know and we will. We have our plan babe, we

will travel I promise. We will go anywhere you
want us to go.”

“I don’t know. I have been feeling less loved

lately. You don’t put the effort you used to put
at the beginning of our relationship. You don’t
even buy me flowers or gifts anymore. When
last did you ever just give me money to go
shopping or to go and do my hair?”

“I am sorry. I will do better.”

“Maybe we were too fast. I think this was a

mistake. The man I fell for is not this current
man I have and it’s boring. You used to spoil
me so much, that ended the day I said I do. I am
not sure anymore. Anyways we will talk when I
get back, maybe I don’t know… we can just..”
She swallowed. “Divorce. I don’t know.”

“What?”

She hung up shaking then texted Tefo.

Letty: I told him. Tell that woman to go back

home.

Tefo checked in with Refa. She looked at him as

he glanced at his phone.

Tefo pressed it then put it in his pocket just as a

man walked past them. He flashed a smile at
her. Tefo glared at him, the man quickly pulled
her eyes from Refa looking elsewhere.

“Let’s go.”

She silently walked with him. They finally

bordered the plane.

“Are you seeing someone?”

Refa took a deep breath and spoke softly.

“There is someone I have been talking to.”
Tefo said nothing. A message came in from her
colleague.

Colleague: I hope you are in the plane on your

way out of the country.

Refa: I am going but when I come back I’m

ending whatever this is. I don’t think I can
handle him, not when he scares and intimidates
me like this. Earlier on we went to his office and
his ex is an employee there. She annoyed me
and I rolled my eyes at him, my kuku is still on
fire right now and he doesn’t care. I was scared
to keep refusing to come with after. From there
he took me to the salon. I don’t know how he
manages to show me the gentle side of him like
he didn’t almost snatch my soul out of my body
earlier on.
Colleague: Is the sex good though?

Refa smiled.

Refa: Very. Ene mma o monate, never enjoyed

sex to that level but I can’t. I’m scared to say no
to anything.

She put her phone down feeling his eyes on her.

She turned to him and found him staring.

“Is it him?”

“No, it’s my friend. The one I work with.”

“I don’t want you talking to him. Or anyone

else.”
Her mouth dropped open in shock.

“I want to be the only one you are with.”

“Why?”

“Do you want me to go in detail on why I want

you? I will compensate you for your time.
Anything you want.”

“You want me to be your prostitute?”

Tefo smiled cutely. “Who taught you that

word?”
“You want to sleep with me and compensate
me for it akere? Even if I say get me a Mazda 3,
will you get it?”

Tefo laughed. “Do you even have a license?”

“I will get it.”

“Then you will have a Mazda 3.”

“What if I tell you I want you to build my house

back at home?”

“In your father’s plot?”

“Yes, he gave me the back yard.”

“And what happens when he dies? You can’t
build a house in another person’s yard. Should
anything happen to him, that yard and
everything in it will be shared between all your
siblings. We can discuss that in the future.”

She stared at him and he seemed serious.

“I don’t want to…”

“You will not be a prostitute. You will just be

mine meaning you can’t talk to anybody who’s
not me. You can only be with me. You will be
fine. Think about it. I don’t want diseases
neither do I want to be using condoms so I want
you all to myself.”
“But it’s not a relationship?”

“Yeah. Whatever I’m getting you or giving you is

to make sure you keep your end of the
promise.”

“Why do I get the feeling that even if I say no

you are still going to want to sleep with me?”

He smiled. “Because I want you. Please let me

have you.”

“Why me? There are a lot of woman out there,

prettier than me..more attractive.”

“I want you, you are prettier and more

attractive.”
Tefo kissed her as Letty walked past them
going to her seat.

She sat several seat behind and swallowed

watching as he kissed her. He pulled back and
smiled saying something. She responded with a
smile too. Jealous filled her heart. Her phone
rang, she cut the call and switched off her
phone as the flight attendant started talking. A
while later the plane took off headed to OR
Tambo where they would connect to the flight
headed to Mauritius.

***

Momo relaxed in her house talking to her

cousin on the phone.
“He seems like a good guy but I haven’t been
able to find a man that really gets me and what
I want.”

Bonolo sighed. “Give him a chance. You never

know.”

“Right now all I want is to have a baby. I am

going to vet him to see if he’s a good candidate.
If he’s really good then I will have two. I don’t
care whether he stays or leaves. I have been
thinking to ask Tefo to be my sperm donor.”

“Why would you do that?”

“Because he is a great dad and either way, the

sex will be worth it.”
“He won’t agree. Not after how things ended.
You hurt him.”

“Its been years Bonolo. You never know. And I

am not saying I want him back. I just want a
baby. I have accepted my fate, I just want kids.”

“Or you can go to the sperm bank. They can

even give you twins. If you allow Tefo to
impregnate you, you will never be fully happy.
You are going to watch him love his other kids
and yours will not receive the same love. It will
bother you. Go to a sperm bank. It’s safer that
way.”

“Yeah but I will talk to Tefo first.”

“Try not to embarrass yourself.”

***

The following morning at Mmagwe Osa’s house,

the helper laid Angie on the bed to charge her
diaper while mmagwe Osa prepared to go to
church.

Angie stared at her talking gibberish. The helper

took off the diaper Angie had peed in and
looked at just how fat her vagina was. It was so
fat and thick it made her laugh. She took her
phone and took a picture and sent it to her
boyfriend.

Helper: Look at this baby😂😂😂

Her boyfriend opened the picture then started
typing.

Boyfriend: Is that really a baby?

Helper: 😂😂 yes. Delete that.

Boyfriend: I want to see inside, I don’t believe
you.

The helper looked at the door then parted

Angie’s p*ssy lips and took a picture. She sent it.

🙆
Boyfriend: she’s ready 😂 are they going to
church today?

Helper: Yes, they are paying me extra to remain

with the baby so I will see you later when they
come back..

Boyfriend: I will come there and leave before

they arrive.

The helper smiled then she changed the diaper

and carried on chatting with her boyfriend.

Tefo turned his head as a familiar laugh

grabbed his attention. He swallowed as the
laugh got closer and closer. His heart raced as
Osa walked over to him wearing a colorful dress.

She giggled standing before him. He smiled

tearfully.

“Hey..”

She reached over and touched his hand. She

smiled beautifully with her hair down on her
shoulders.

“Tefo…”
A tear rolled down his cheek. “Don’t go.”

She laughed. “Tefo… it’s ok. Bye!”

She let go and ran off giggling loudly. His heart

raced, he yelled snapping his eyes open. He
breathed heavily sweating on the bed. He
cleared his throat and turned noticing Refa
sleeping next to him naked.

He slowly got up and walked to the villa’s partio.

He took a deep breath inhaling the Martin fresh
air staring at their private pool and far ahead
was the bach.

He walked back In the villa and inside the

gigantic bathroom where he took a shower that
overlooked the beach view. He stepped out
minutes later and dressed. He covered Refa
with a sheet and hurried out.

Minutes later he knocked on a door. Letty

opened with a towel wrapped around her waist.

Tefo walked inside.

“What did he say?”

She folded her arms. “This was supposed to be

out trip!”

“I am here on business. I brought you to be a

source of entertainment.”
“And that other girl?”

“She is not your business. Wena focus on your

divorce o tswe mogo ene.”

“Tefo a divorce is not that simple. I thought we

would just… have fun.”

“Then she shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

He leaned over to kiss her but then thought of

Lawrence mouth on hers. He took her phone.

“I want to take a video while you suck my dic. I

will send it to myself.”

“Don’t forget to delete them.”

He smiled and kissed her cheek.

“You are gorgeous.. I love your body…”

He took out his dic and stroked himself.

“Suck it..”

Letty smiled and knelt down. She opened her

mouth as he pressed her phone.

***

In Gaborone, Lawrence spoke to his friend.

“And I understand her complaint but is it
enough for her to talk divorce with me?”

“No mathata ke gore women are emotional

beings. She doesn’t mean it but I am sure she
sees her friends go on vacations or even talk
about vacations, she feels under pressure. The
problem is that le wena you don’t even spoil her
anymore. You don’t have to take her to
Mauritius but I am sure you can afford Kasane
and Maun. Women love those type of things.
Don’t open room for unnecessary arguments in
the marriage. Soon enough someone will entice
her with these things.”

“I’d kill someone.”

His friend laughed. “Do the right thing.”

“Did I tell you Osa’s widow tried it with Letty the
other day? That boy doesn’t know me.”

Lawrence’s phone rang, he smiled looking at

Letty’s video call. He swiped the screen getting
up.

“Ke mosadi, ke eta. (It’s her, I’m coming.)”

He walked inside the house as the call

connected.

He smiled ready to see her face but rather it

was her sucking a dic. He froze as she gagged
on it while the man she was with shoved the dic
down her throat groaning. She looked up
helplessly. The man pulled out his dic and
smirked her cheeks with it. She flinched then he
slid back in her mouth.

Lawrence screamed holding the phone. “Letty!

Letty!”

The man drilled her mouth while he screamed

trying to get her attention but they didn’t stop.
The man pulled out from her mouth splashing
his cum on her face then offloaded the rest in
her mouth.

Lawrence touched his chest. His friend walked

in.

“Law!”
He hurried over and took the phone. He looked
at Letty with a dic in her mouth on the video call.
Lawrence bended holding on to his chest. The
friend cut the call.

“Fuck! Law!”

“My chest!”

“Come! Fuvk!”

***

In Mauritius, Tefo moved back deleting the call

from the WhatsApp call history. He looked at
her.
“Freshen up. I will see you for breakfast.”

Letty got up and smiled happy she had satisfied

him. She touched his dic..

“I am ready for you.”

“There is no hurry, I want to save the best for

the last. Switch off your phone, I don’t want us
being disturbed. Don’t switch it on.”

She took it and switched it off.

“There..”

“Can I hold on to it for you?”

She nodded. He kissed the corner of her lips
then packed his dic in his pants and walked out.
Letty smiled and threw herself on the bed. She
skid her fingers between her legs touching her
wetness, all she needed was that thick veined
dic inside her. She closed her eyes imagining it
while touching herself.

***

Mmagwe Osa picked Angie while her husband

started the car. She kissed her chubby cheeks.
She was so chubby.

“I don’t know what Tefo is feeding this baby,

she’s like a ball.”
The helper laughed taking her. “And she’s
beautiful.”

“Yeah, I will be back later. Call if anything is

wrong.”

“Eemma.”

Mmagwe Osa walked out and got in the car. Her

husband drove off. Moments later the helper’s
boyfriend walked in through the back door. She
smiled then frowned.

“You smell of alcohol! You didn’t bath?”

“I was going to.”

“Let me put her down and we can go and get
mafresh. You will bath here after we eat.”

“I will do it. You can get them. Gape I want to

use the toilet. What time are they coming
back?”

“Later, I have chosen a movie for us. The baby

doesn’t cry a lot so she won’t disturb us. She’s
in that room. I am coming. Don’t break things.”

The boyfriend nodded and walked with Angie to

the room. He laid her on the bed then rubbed
his forehead. He wanted to see it for himself.
He pulled down her diaper and swallowed
looking at her fat p*ssy. It was so fat with the
lips closing everything inside. His dic hardened
as he stared. He could just imagine being inside
her.
He slid his finger In-between those lips and her
warmth alone had his precum wetting his pants.
He took off her diaper completely as Angie
stared at him blinking flattering her long lashes.

He took out his pee smelling dic touching

himself breathing heavily. His heart raced as
Angie peed lifting her little legs. He went closer
and #removed.

Pulled the baby closer and #removed.

The door opened then the helper walked in.

“Mpoloki!”

Mpoloki turned with his dic hanging.

“I… I… Judy!”

Judy looked at him in shock them grabbed

Angie and hurried to the bathroom with her. She
washed up the baby shaking tearfully. She
washed her bum then her p*ssy crying then
walked out with the baby. Mpoloki looked at her.

“Thamma sorry.”

“Sorry? You want to rape another child?!”

“I told you it is the demon in me. I-“

“Demon ya eng when you have HIV? O bata go

nnela ngwana mogare? (You want to give the
baby HIV)”

“I didn’t put it inside. I am sorry. Please don’t tell

anyone.”
“You were about to jou fucken shit! Sebeteledi
ke wena!”

“Judy-“

“You are going to jail and they are going to rape

you Satan ke wena! Get out!”

“Judy-“

“Out!”

He hurried out. Judy threw the potato chips at

him hitting his head.
“Out!”

He ran and jumped the fence. Judy went back in

the house while Angie cried. Tears rolled down
her own cheeks then she put the baby on her
chest shaking.

Reporting him would result in her losing her job

and it was a well paying job. She paced trying to
think of what to do.

She laid her down and checked her out. She

was fine. Judy picked up the baby and walked
with to the bedroom where she dressed her up.

In Mauritius, Tefo walked back in the room and
found Refa awake. She looked at him and
smiled.

“It’s beautiful here. I didn’t see it properly last

night. I can’t believe I am seeing the beach, o
kare ka lora. (It’s like I’m dreaming.) Did you see
the pool? If only I knew how to swim but I will
take pictures.”

Tefo walked over smiling as she spoke

excitedly.

“I will hold in the water. Come.”

She smiled shaking her head. “My cousin once

tried to swim with me. I almost died. She let go
because I was holding her tightly. If her brother
wasn’t there I would have died.”

Tefo smiled pulling the towel she had around

her body. He took off his t-shirt and pants then
picked her up.

“I won’t let you drown.”

He picked her up and walked with her to the

private pool. Refa held on to him.

“No! Tefo no! I don’t want to die! Tefo!”

He walked with her inside the pool as she tried

to get down. The cold water made her quiver.

“Tefo!”
“Relax.. I won’t let go.”

He went further in the water with her. Refa’s

heart raced so much. Tefo smiled.

“Relax… I won’t let you go.”

“I am scared.”

He kissed her. “I got you…”

She relaxed her legs but still held on to him with

her arms. Tefo swam holding her. The water
was warm and nice. She relaxed a little bit more
giggling.
“I am in the pool…”

He smiled.

“Let go and relax..I won’t let you go.”

She looked at him then smiled and slowly let go.

Her body floated then he spun with her making
her laugh. She splashed with water with her
legs having fun.

“You need to learn how to swim.”

Refa laughed. “One day.” She smiled. “I want a

GD6.”

Tefo chuckled. “Ke tshaba motho a senang

license.”

She laughed. “When we get back I am going to

driving school. When do you get it for me?”

“Get the license and the car is yours. I will buy it

so it can motivate you.”

She smiled. “How does it feel to have all this

money?”

“I feel it’s not enough so I keep working harder. I

don’t want my kids to ever suffer in life.”

She wrapped her arms around him for support.

“Did you ever think you will one day be here?”
“No. I am happy I took the leap of faith and also
my lawyer played a great part in my success. I
owe all of it to her.”

She took a deep breath. “What if one day I wake

up loving you?”

He kissed her. “Try not to. I can’t give you

anything other than this and money.”

“You can’t or you won’t?”

“She died with big part of my heart. I don’t think

I can ever love anyone who’s not my daughter
anyways the way I loved her. She was my life.”

“You don’t know for sure you can never love

anyone else.”

Tefo swam with her to edge of the pool and

kissed her.

“Ok, enough with the questions. Let’s freshen

up. Our breakfast is coming.”

***

At Bokamoso Private Hospital, Lawrence

looked at his friend then the doctor who was
explaining his panic attack.

“So you are ok. I know it may have felt like it

was something more but you are ok.”
His friend nodded. “Thanks doc.”

The doctor walked out. Lawrence got up.

“I need to go to Sandton. She’s with him

there..this man… they are together there.”

“And where will you even find her?”

“I don’t know, I will look for her. I just want my

wife.”

“Law, you won’t find her. This guy did this on

purpose. You won’t find them.”

“I am calling her office. They will know where

exactly she is, she’s on a work trip so they will
know. Where’s my phone?”

His friend handed him the phone then Lawrence

called her office but the phone just rang.

“Law it’s a weekend, most businesses are

closed. There’s no point in going to Sandton if
you don’t know where you are going. Akere she
will get back on Monday? When she comes
back you two will discuss a way forward. And
for all we know maybe she’s not even in
Sandton. The divorce shouldn’t –“

“I don’t want a divorce. I want to talk to my wife.

These things can be resolved. I just want her to
come back home. That’s all.”

He called her through WhatsApp but it wasn’t

going through. Lawrence swallowed as that
video came back to mind. How he had splashed
his cum on her face and made her swallow the
rest.

His closer his eyes tearfully.

“He is sleeping with her right now as we speak.

I know he is. She is my wife, she’s even wearing
her ring.”

“Don’t think about it.”

“He kept pushing his dic in her mouth and she

actually like it. Letty doesn’t suck my dic
because she said it makes her vomit but she
can suck this dic.”
“Law-“

“And he’s bigger than me and –“

Pain blocked his throat. Lawrence put his hands

on his face, tears filling his eyes. His friend
rubbed his back.

Amara went through her wardrobe taking out

some clothes she was never going to wear. She
scanned her entire wardrobe realizing she
needed to do shopping. She had worn the same
clothes for years now and a new job was a
reward for new clothes. She dressed up in a
long maxi dress then took a few pictures for her
social media.

She bit her lower lip and searched for Arefa on

Facebook. She went through the list of Arefa’s
till she stopped at Arefa’s account.

Amara clicked it then scrolled down. Her

account was public and she could see her posts.
She had just updated a couple of pictures 30
minutes ago of herself wearing a short dress
with a sunhat standing by a pool. The
background was the beach.
Amara scrolled through the few pictures and
shook her head.

The things men did always amused her, here

was Tefo taking a maid all the way to Mauritius
for sex. It was obviously just sex from the look
of things and there was one thing about Tefo is
that he would easily leave after finding better.

Amara took a deep breath, it was going to end

in tears, that she knew. She walked out of her
house and jumped in her car then drove off
headed to the mall.

She parked her car and walked inside the mall.

She walked inside the ice cream shop and
frowned looking at Chris with his wife as they
walked out both holding their ice creams. Chris
smiled looking at her then put his arm around
his wife’s waist.

“Amara..”

Amara smiled. “Oh hi!”

Chris chuckled. “Uh babe, this is Amara, a

former friend. We met at the grave yard and just
started a small friendship. Amara, this is my
wife, Nia.”

Nia smiled. “Hi, do I know you?”

Amara shrugged smiling. “I don’t know but

maybe you once saw me. I used to work for the
government. Gongwe we met there.”
Nia laughed. “Maybe, well nice to meet you.”

“Yeah you too. So happy this goof managed to

find a wife.”

Chris laughed. “Bye!”

They walked out as Chris planted a kiss on his

wife’s cheek. Amara clicked her tongue
approaching the cashier.

“Ke kopa vanilla and chocolate mix.”

She turned watching them walk holding hands.

The thought of that could have been her
crossed her mind stealing away the little
excitement she had left home with. Now she
wondered if really their marriage had been
finalized before the high commissioner. Amara
took her phone and typed him a message.

Amara: Hi, it was nice seeing you. Somehow

seeing you and her made me think that could
have been us. You were right. I was so clouded
by anger and hate the time I met you, maybe I
just met you at the wrong time of my life and I
wonder if it’s now too late. We really had a
special connection.

Her heart raced as she stared at her text. The

waiting game made her anxiously. Obviously
she was going to have to wait till he had a
moment to respond or better call her.

She walked out of the shop minutes later

holding her ice cream.
***

Letty walked out of her villa wondering where

Tefo was. She had eaten her breakfast alone.
She walked towards the beach fixing her see
through dress that showed her lingerie.

From a distance she spotted him lying on a

lounger with the woman he had come with.

She walked over as he got up and walked to

what looked like a beach bar. Letty walked over
to the woman.

She smiled as Letty stood before her.

“Hi..”

“Hey, I’m Letty. You are?”

“Refa.”

Letty smiled. “I saw you at Sir Seretse Khama

International Airport yesterday.”

Refa laughed. “Oh.. I didn’t but anyway nice

meeting you. Who are you here?”

“My boyfriend.”

Tefo walked back holding two Mimosa’s. He

frowned looking at Letty. She smiled at him.
“Hi..”

Tefo nodded then handed her drink sitting next

to her. He kissed her not bothering with Letty.

Letty swallowed watching them. Refa smiled.

“I will see you around. Bye!”

Tefo kissed Refa’s neck and whispered

something to her making her shyly smile. She
turned and walked away feeling like a lost
puppy.

She watched them for a while before going

back to her villa trying to hold on to her tears.
She walked inside sniffing.

She bit her lower lip then started packing her

bag. There was no point in staying. She put on
comfortable clothes and shoes. The door
opened then Tefo walked in.

“What are you doing?”

“I want to go home. It’s quite clear you brought

me here to watch you give another woman all
the attention. I ate breakfast alone!”

“If I knew for sure you were leaving your

husband I wouldn’t have brought her with me.”

“Tefo we just met. I can’t be filing for a divorce

that early.”

Tefo kissed her. She closed her eyes unable to

resist him. He undressed her and stopped as
someone knocked on the door. Tefo opened it
and got a bag then closed the door again. Letty
looked at it.

“What’s that?”

“How spontaneous are you? I like a woman who

likes trying out new things.”

She blinked. “I can try.”

Tefo opened the bag and took out 4 ropes. He

push her to the bed while her heart raced. She
wasn’t sure what he wanted to do with her but it
scared her so much.

He tied her hands on the bed frame then her

legs to the bed’s legs that she couldn’t move
even if she wanted to.

Her breathing increased. He kissed her

stomach.

“Relax for me ok?”

She nodded shaking. He took out a dildo from

the bag and what seemed liked butt plugs.
Things she had sworn she’d never use ever in
her life.
He took out a vibrator and put everything on the
bed. He kissed her caressing her body. Tefo
squeezed her breast then twisted her nipples
sliding his other hand between her spiraled legs.
He circled on her clit. She slowly calmed down
and looked at him getting lost in that
stimulation. Tefo pushed three fingers inside
tapping her. He tapped her gspot.

“Ahhh…”

She closer her eyes pulling her hands as

pleasure came over her body.

Tefo pressed the other thumb on her clit, Letty

looked at him moaning louder letting out her
juices. Tefo reached for his phone and pressed
record. Letty looked at him desperately waiting
for that dic inside her.
He kissed her and took a gag then put it in her
mouth.

Tefo reached for the dildo and #removed.

Letty pulled at the rope on both her legs and

feet as Tefo fucked her hard with no care. She
tried to scream but all she could do was let out
muffled sounds.

Tefo went deeper throughout destroying her

p*ssy holding his phone with the other hand.

Letty’s body tightened as that pleasure mixed

with pain kicked in. He dug deeper as she
spasmed then he slid out and pressed a bit at
her entrance offloading his cum inside her
grunting.

He moved back then parted her p*ssy lips

showing his juices leak from her p*ssy.

He saved the video and sent it to a number

while Letty breathed heavily exhausted.

He started shooting another one grabbing the

fat dildo. He dipped it in her overly used p*ssy
then pushed it in and #removed.

.
Tefo took out the dildo with had a little blood on
it then looked at Letty slipping his dic inside her
ass and pounded her for a while. He pushed
inside her p*ssy and fucked her swollen meat
till it was burning in so much pain. The tears
rolling down her cheeks didn’t move him one bit.

He slid out then pulled the gag off taking off the
condom and released his cum on her face.

She blinked exhausted. He stopped the video

and sent it out again with a text.

Tefo: Mute the sounds.

Letty looked at him.

“I an tired.”

Tefo untired her then carried her to the

bathroom where he washed her.

“I will see you in the evening. Soak yourself.”

She nodded. He walked out and cleared the

room before walking out.

That evening, Tumo watched the video on

Facebook. It showed the woman’s face with her
ring in her finger. He paused as the video
shower the guy’s arm. He looked closer.

Tumo stepped out of his car making a phone

call.

***

In Mauritius, Tefo’s phone vibrated ringing while

Refa laid on the bed holding her phone, her feet
on Tefo’s chest.
He reached for it and looked at the number.

“Tumo…”

“I hear you are in Mauritius?”

“I am handling a business matter.”

“O na le mang?”

“What?”

“You heard me! I just saw the video trending on

social media. It’s a short one but those hands,
they look like yours!”
Tefo laughed. “I don’t even know what you are
talking about.”

“Why are you laughing? I am serious! This

woman is married.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about I

promise. And I am not with a married woman.”

“Maybe it’s from long time ago. Did you ever

record yourself having sex with anyone?”

“No. Why would I do that? You need to relax. It’s

not me.”

“I was just checking.”

“It’s not me. Sharp.”

Tefo hung up then took Refa’s phone and

looked at her screen. She was going through all
the pictures from today. Refa smiled.

“I love it here. It’s beautiful, thank you for

bringing me and I loved my massage. You
should have had one.”

Tefo away her phone and pulled her closer.

Tefo kissed her caressing her body. His hand
went inside her night dress.

Refa touched his chest kissing him back. Tefo

pulled her night dress and held her in his arms
kissing her forehead. Refa relaxed in his arms.
She wasn’t sure what it was but he seemed…
quieter than usual.

“Are you ok Tefo?”

“Yeah.”

She looked at him. He kissed her.

“It’s late, sleep. We are leaving tomorrow early

morning.”

“Where are we going?”

“Another resort. You will love it more.”

Something was bothering him, she could see it

in his eyes though she knew he wouldn’t
appreciate it if she questioned him. She put her
head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat
till she fell asleep.

***

The following morning, Letty woke up to

someone knocking on the door. She yawned
and got up from the bed.

She noticed her phone on her bedside then took

it and switched it on. She threw on s robe then
walked to the door and opened it.

The resort stuff looked at her. “Good morning,

your breakfast is here. Would you like us to call
you transportation for when you check out?”
Letty looked at her. “Check out tomorrow? No
my boyfriend will sort that out.”

“Uh… it’s today at 11.”

“What? This villa has been booked till tomorrow.

He told me that.”

“Unfortunately it was booked till today but you

are welcome to stay once you make payment.”

“I… what? I… let me talk to him. He is still here.

His name is Natefo David.”

“Oh.. but Mr David has already left.”

Letty frowned. She looked at him and shook
hwr head.

“He is here! We came together.”

“Mr David checked out couple of hours back. I

apologize for the misunderstanding but we
would need you to pay more or check out. We
hope you have enjoyed your stay so far.”

He pushed the trolley with her breakfast inside.

“Enjoy.”

She walked out. Letty put on a dress and

hurried out looking for Tefo. She walked around
for a while then walked back to her villa and
connected her phone to the wifi. She opened
her Whatsapp and messages started coming in.
A lot of them. She expected it, not after how she
had dropped the divorce bomb on Lawrence
before she left. She scrolled past them not even
reading and clicked Tefo’s contact and sent him
a message.

Letty: Hi, where did you go? They are telling me I

need to check out.

She looked at his last seen and it was from last

night. She paced in her room. She didn’t even
have money in her account. An hour went by as
reality sank in. He had done what he wanted
and now he had left her.

She tried to come up with other explanations

but it was clear Tefo had left her. Tears filled
her eyes then she put her hands on her face
crying. How would she even explain herself to
her husband on how she was stranded in a
foreign country when she had said she is going
to Sandton.

Letty sent Tefo another message.

Letty: So you entice me with money and this

luxurious trip to leave me there? If you didn’t
want me anymore why not get me flight ticket
so I can go back home?

Tears fell on her screen. She went through her

contacts wondering who to call that wouldn’t
judge her then she called her sister.

The phone rang for a while. “Letty.”

Letty’s heart skipped as her husband spoke.

“Hey.. hey babe.”

“Please come back home.. please..”

“Law-“

“Please come back so we can try and fix things.

He doesn’t love you. He is just using you. He
doesn’t want you. I know babe…”

Tears filled Letty’s eyes. She started crying.

“Just come back.”

“I am sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight. I let
money get to my head. He’s left me stranded in
Mauritius. I didn’t sleep with him though. I
promise you. I don’t have money to come back
home with.”

“You are in Mauritius?”

She swallowed. “I am sorry.”

“Its ok..I am getting you a flight ticket.”

“Ok I love you and I am sorry. I love you so

much. I don’t want a divorce. I made a mistake
babe but nothing happened between us. That’s
why he left me. I am sorry.”

Over two hours later, Lawrence called Letty.

“Baby..”

“Hey, are you at the airport?”

“Yes. Everyone keeps sending me messages. I
didn’t open any of them. You told them?”

“Told them what?”

“That I said I want a divorce. I didn’t mean it.”

“We will handle it when you get back home.”

“Did you tell them?”

“We will handle it when you arrive. Stop

worrying about it.”

“I am scared. People are going to judge me. Did

you tell them I travelled with him?”
“Get in the plane. You will connect at OR Tambo
and come home.”

“I am sorry. I don’t know what happened to me.

Maybe it’s the attention and money.. I don’t
know, I am sorry. I love you.”

He nodded. “Yeah.”

“We didn’t do anything. I promise.”

Lawrence sat in his car staring at nothing. It

was just how easily she thought she could lie to
him.

“Did you like him?”

“No. It was just the attention I liked.”

“I am trying to understand why he left you, to

prove something to me?”

“I don’t know.. he is not a good person, you

were right.”

Lawrence closed his eyes. “I don’t even

understand why. If he’s mad because of our
last interaction, he should know that it was for
how he took Osa from me. I know his ego was
bruised the same way mine was when I woke to
news that the woman I was planning to marry
had gotten married. Doesn’t he thinks I was hurt
then? I was humiliated. I found out from…” He
rolled down the windows. “I just don’t
understand. What happened that time with Osa
was my way of getting back at him. And he
knew Osa would have never given me any
attention if there were no rumors of him
cheating on her.”

Letty sniffed. “I am sorry.”

“I don’t understand. Why? Why now? I haven’t

bothered him since.”

“I am on my way back home.”

Lawrence hung up and rubbed his eyes tearfully.

And he didn’t even bother on using a condom.

He had just done it in the most degrading way

ever. His phone rang, he looked at his mother
calling and ignored it..

Momo watched the sex tape on Facebook. She

looked at the woman. You could only see the
man’s dic as it slid in and out of that p*ssy.

The man slid out before sliding back in. Momo

stopped the video and walked inside her Café.
She paused looking at Bokani who was holding
flowers. He turned and looked at her with a
smile.

She tried to keep her serious face as she

approached him but a smile started at the
corner of her lips.
Bokani admiringly smiled looking in her eyes.

“A delivery for the boss lady.”

Maemo chuckled. “I am not the girl you are

looking for.”

“And how do you know the girl I am looking

for?”

“I know. I just do. I don’t have a degree, I am a

loud mouth. I…-“

“What? Is that all? You are everything I want. We

will learn the rest as time goes on.”
“I…” She breathed out. “I want to get married. To
have a good husband who will love me.
Someone loyal and faithful. I want to have kids.”

“I want the same too.”

“I know men will say anything –“

“I am not men. I am Bokani. And I am not going

to say anything to just sleep with you, I am way
past that stage in life. I am also looking for
someone serious. You don’t think I am tired of
getting asked when I am getting married? I am
tired of coming back to cold house, of sleeping
alone. I am also looking for what you are
looking for.”

She took a deep breath. Bokani handed her the

flowers and kissed her cheek.

“I will see you.”

She looked at her flowers and turned watching

him walk out of the café. She looked at her
flowers again smiling and made her way to her
office.

***

Bokani jumped in his car calling his father.

“Bokani..”

“Papa ke bone mosadi and ke bata go nyala.”

His father laughed. “O serious?”

“Yes. I am ready.”

“Where is she from?”

He started the car and drove off discussing

marrying Maemo with his father.

***

At another resort in Mauritius, Refa scrolled

through her Facebook. Most posts were talking
about the sex tape. The way the married lady
was getting dragged saddened her.
Of cause the man was getting praised. She
slowed down scrolling coming across the video.
The door opened then Tefo walked in just as
she was about to play it.

Tefo looked at her loosening his tie.

“Hi.”

Refa stared at him as he took it off then his

shirt. Tefo looked at her.

“Are you ok?”

She smiled. “Hi.”

Tefo walked over and pulled her at the edge of

the bed with her leg.

“I booked for a boat riding and later on we can

go and explore the nearby village.”

“I would like that. Come let’s bath.”

“Ke thapile.”

“Let’s go.”

Tefo looked at her phone’s screen then took her

phone. He looked at her.

“You want to watch porn?”

“No… I just bumped on it.”

“Don’t watch it. Ke porn hela. Nothing

interesting.”

Refa smiled. “You watched?”

He put her phone down and picked her up.

“No. I just know.”

He smacked her ass. She giggled as he walked

with her to the bathroom.

***
Hours later, Letty walked out of the airport. She
spotted her husband and smiled walking over to
him.

Lawrence turned and watched her as she

walked slowly almost limping.

She hugged him emotionally.

“Hi..”

Lawrence held his breath then moved back.

“Did you bath before leaving?”

She nodded. “Yes why?”

“I don’t know, you smell like him.”

Letty moved back shamefully. Lawrence got in

the car. Letty put her bag in the boot and got in.
Lawrence silently drove off.

“So tell me what you were doing in Mauritius.”

“It wasn’t even interesting. It was boring. He

was boring.”

Lawrence nodded. “So he never even touched

you?”

“No.”
Lawrence drove for a while then took a turn
driving inside the bushes. Letty took a deep
breath.

“Babe..-“

“I am going to ask you one last time. Lie to me

and I am going to kill you. Start right from the
day you gave him your number at the filling
station till lady night. Miss a detail and ke tsile
go go nyedisa gore then kill you.”

He took out his phone and played the sex tape

on Facebook. Letty’s heart skipped, her eyes
widening.

Lawrence took out the knife he had brought.

“Start!”

Letty looked at him then tears filled her eyes.

“Law-“

“Talk.”
She looked at the video playing, her heart racing.
She looked at him shaking.

“Law… I… baby I…”

“I said start from the beginning.”

She started crying. He stared at her feeling

anger fill his heart, so much anger he wanted to
smash her head into pieces.

“I am sorry.. I am-“

He gave her a back slap shutting her up. Letty

froze then slowly touched her burning cheek.
The slap had happened so fast she had to make
sure he had actually done it.

“I said start from the beginning.”

She swallowed. “He took my number that day

then the following day I called him. He was… he
was nice and…” She rubbed her eyes crying.
“After that he started sending money. He sent
me flowers at work and more money and
promised me a trip to Mauritius. Law baby I am
sorry I-“

Lawrence slapped her again.

“Talk.”

She put her hands on her face crying. Lawrence

opened the door then pulled her by her hair
across the car seats and outside the car. She
knelt down crying.

“Baby I am sorry!”

He pulled her up slapping her harder that she

fell crying.”

“Baby let me talk. Let me talk… therra let me

talk.”

She knelt down.

“He said he wanted to take me to Mauritius

then he gave me money for shopping. We met
the airport the following day but he was with
another woman. He said I should divorce you or
he cancels the trip. That’s why I called you then
we went. I didn’t get to see him till yesterday.”

Lawrence pulled her by her throat. “I know

about the blow job you gave him before you
fucked him! He video called me!”

She pulled his hands crying.

“I am sorry.. yes, I… he… I-“

“I thought sucking dic disgusted you.”

She looked at him crying. “Didn’t you tell me

that?! Or my dic is the one that disgusts you?”
She shook her head. “No… I just felt I had no
option.”

“You had no option?! You had an option and you

desperately wanted him! That’s what! Was it
for his money?! Was it for his money?”

“I… I –“

“Fuvken talk!”

“Yes! Yes!”

Lawrence looked at her and laughed. “You let

him do all those things to you for the money?
You let him use you like that for the money? I
never knew you were a prostitute. How much
did he pay you for it. 5k? 10k? 20k? How
much?!”

She sniffed. “Nothing.”

Her phone rang. Lawrence took it from the car

and picked the foreign call.

He put the phone on loud speaker.

“Hey, just got alerted by the resort that you left.

You have arrived at home akere?”

Letty looked at her husband then at the phone.

“I am done with you. I can’t continue anymore.

You are an evil person. You leaked the videos. I
am going back to my husband.”

“Thank God, I had the same thoughts as well. I

don’t think you and I will work out. By the way
tell your husband I said hi.”

Lawrence breathed heavily. “You are going to

pay for it! You are going to pay!”

Tefo chuckled. “Careful of those threats. You

have a 19 year old daughter and I can always
get her.”

“Try it and I promise you I will kill you! What do

you want?”

Tefo sighed. “Nothing. I am done. I am done. I

am sorry about your wife too. I hope you two
can get through this.”

He hung up. Letty cried even more. Lawrence

pulled her up.

“Why? Is it money that you want?!”

“Baby-“

“I will give you the money! I will give it to you!”

“I made a mistake. I am sorry.”

“There is nothing to apologize for. Your sex

tape is on Facebook for everyone to see. He
never wanted you. He wanted what just
happened. You were willing to throw away our
marriage for someone you had just met. If he
didn’t leave you stranded where you even going
to come back home?”

She swallowed. Lawrence sighed.

“You were going to just continue with the affair

weren’t you? I am done talking to you. Let’s go.
We will tell everyone it was me since no one can
see his face.”

He got in the car defeated. Letty slowly walked

round the car and got in sniffing. He drove off
rolling down the windows then took a cigarette
and started smoking. He never did it in front of
her but he didn’t care anymore.
Letty rubbed her eyes as he drove off.

***

Two Days Later…

Momo finished working on her new menu

sitting in her office. She had done bench
marking at other coffee shops and she knew
where the gap was.

She printed out the document then got up and

got it from the printing machine.

Her phone rang, she looked at her mother

calling and picked smiling.
“Mama..”

“Bathong Momo! I didn’t even know you were

seeing anyone. You are so secretive these
days.”

Momo frowned. “What are you talking about?”

“We just had visitors… you know what I am

talking about. You never told me about a Bokani.
His uncles were here and they want to marry
you.”

Momo’s mouth dropped open. She hung up

and called him.

“Hey..”
She laughed. “What are you doing?”

“Showing you just how serious I am.”

“Are you insane, what if you don’t like my-“

“Don’t be an overthinker. We got this.”

She laughed in disbelief. “I can’t believe you.”

He chuckled. “Nna kea go nyala. There’s no way

I am letting slip through my fingers. You are my
wife.”

She smiled nervously. “Once you marry me

there’s no leaving me.”

“We are on the same page.”

She laughed excitedly.

***

At Tefo Trans, Amara parked her car at the

parking lot and stepped out holding her bags.
She locked her car walking inside the building
and went straight to her new office.

She smiled sitting down. It was nicer than her

old office. She set up her desk then opened her
laptop. She called her cousin smiling.
“Ama..”

“Guess who’s in her new office?”

Her cousin laughed. “Mma be careful. I am still

wondering why he really hired you. I hope you
have a savings account. I worry about this job.
Everything about it is just so suspicious.

“I know. I am going to be extra careful.”

“You should. Sometimes men are not good

people.”

“But I don’t think he will do anything for now.

He’s still running around with the maid. The
drama I am going to witness after he leaves her
is what I am waiting for.”

Her cousin laughed. “Ija, I hope you don’t do

what you did a year ago. You are still Facebook
most hated person.”

Amara laughed. “Kana that’s the reason I lost

Chris. I sent him a message asking him if it was
already too late. He didn’t even bother replying.”

“You lost him, move on. I heard that they are

opening an insurance company. Ke emetsi di
interview and I will be the first one applying.
Kana the cleaner that side get’s paid a
significant amount.”

Amara looked around her office. “Sometimes I

wonder if he went to see a traditional doctor.
This guy used to drive a run x which he had
turned into a cab. When I first met him, he used
to drive me to work. He was so charming and
down to earth, I guess he still is though
something changed in him. Sometimes it feels
like it’s not him. I don’t even know how to
explain it. It’s like a two in one. One moment
he’s hot then next he’s cold. Anyways let me do
my job. Bye.”

She hung up and looked at her laptop.

***

Tefo parked his car at the preschool. Refa

smiled.

“Thank you for the trip.”

“Anytime. I will ask my PA to check out a driving
school for you.”

Refa smiled. “I wish there was somewhere you

could sign with an agreement saying you are
really going to get the car.”

“I am true to my word. I will see you later.”

“Its my colleagues birthday today. From work, I

am going home to freshen up then go to get
house.”

“I will pick you there. Is 9pm ok?”

“There is a club she wanted us to check out

after the party. Can I see you tomorrow?”

“You are not going to a club.”

She looked at him. “Tefo-“

“Is 9 ok?”

She folded her arms sulking. Tefo glared at her.

“Gao dire sente kana.”

“What do you want to do at a club? What exactly

do you want to do there?”

“I am not going to be with a man.”

“And who said anything about a man? Don’t
piss me off, we just got back. You are not going
there. If you want to dance and listen to loud
music, you will do it in the house. Matter of fact,
I think we need a contract.”

“That says what? That I…”

She caught herself about to loosen her tongue

while he glared at her.

“Why did you stop? Go on.”

She swallowed. “So I am not allowed to have

fun with my friend?”
“I said you are not going to the club. This
conversation is over. I will take you to the party
then pick you up.”

She almost rolled her eyes but then he was

getting irritated.

She sighed. “Ok.”

He tilted her chin and kissed her gently. He

kissed her forehead.

“I will see you later. O ngadile?”

She shook her head then stepped out of the car

and walked inside the school. Her friend looked
at her as Tefo drove off.
“Tsena girl!”

Refa laughed. “Mxm.”

“You slept at his house?”

“Not where he stays, at his other house.”

“And?”

Refa laughed. “He says I am not going to club

with you. Nna I am going. I am going to dodge
him.”

***
Tefo’s uncle sat with rragwe Osa as they
discussed Rachel.

“He has been through so much and he hasn’t

dealt with the things he went through. He first
lost his father, then his mother who was killed
by his brother. He moved on then his son was
killed. He found Osa and she helped him forget
but soon after, she also died. He is full of anger.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he one day wakes up
and burns the entire country. Kana anger is very
dangerous. It’s like a seed… and it will grow into
something else. I have told him to go to therapy
but he insists he’s fine. He’s not fine and the
worst thing we can do is force him into
marrying this young lady because trust me…
she will have the worst version of Natefo there
ever is. He’s not himself..”

Later that day, Tefo looked at the time then

smiled as the white man finished talking. Tefo
got up.

“I like it and I look forward for us to work

together. My COO will keep in touch with you.
Thanks.”
He walked out taking out his phone from his
pocket then called Refa headed to his office.

“Hey..”

“O chaisitse? (Have you knocked off?)”

“Not yet. You don’t have to pick me up. My

friend’s sister will pick us up.”

“Kante which friend is this?”

“The one I work with. Kate.”

“Ok, where is this party?”

“At her house. I will call you when I am ready to
go home so you pick me up.”

“Ok, I am going to pick up my daughter in

Mochudi. Call when you are ready.”

“Ok. Bye.”

Refa hung up. Tefo wrapped up a few things

and walked out. He got in the elevator where
Amara was already in and got in.

He looked at her then pressed his phone.

Amara stood behind him and wet her lips a bit
nervous.
“Thank you for the job.”

He turned to her. She smiled.

“I heard you have the final order. Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me. Thank HR.”

“I am excited to work with you.”

The elevator doors opened. “We will see about

that.”

He walked out. Amara followed behind him.

“Maybe this can be our fresh start.”

He unlocked his car from a distance.

“Fresh start? Nah… this is a continuation. We

are about to finish what you started.”

“What do you mean? Are you going to fire me?”

He smiled and continued walking towards his

car as Amara slowed down digesting his words.

She walked to her car and got in. She took a

deep breath then drive off going to her house.
His words rang in her head that she took a deep
breath trying to understand.

For all she knew maybe he was planning to kill

her. She drove in her yard then walked inside
the house and locked the door. She took off her
shoes and paced in her sitting room.

Leaving the job was not an option. She had to

find a way for him to forgive her.

***

Later that evening at a club at CBD, Arefa

watched as her phone rang in the car. Kate
looked over.

“Its him?”

“Yes. I…”
“Tell him you are still at my house.”

Refa stepped out of the car. She walked a

distance away from the loud music.

“Hello..”

“Hey, la hetsa?”

“No. She hadn’t cut the cake still. She’s going

through the gifts.”

“Ok, I am back collecting my daughter. Where

does she stay?”

“I will send you the pin location.”

“Are you ok?”

“Yes. I will call you.”

“Ok.”

Tedo hung up. Refa smiled as Kate stepped out

of the car as well. They walked inside the club
and settled down. Refa smiled then turned her
head catching a man staring at her. She looked
at the men he was with then looked at him
before looking away. She got her drink moving
her body while seated.

***
Letty laid on her bed alone lost in her thoughts.
As much as she and her husband had released
a joint explanation on social media, it didn’t take
away the embarrassment. Tears filled her eyes,
Lawrence wouldn’t touch her which
understandable but she wasn’t sure if her
marriage would make it.

Close family members knew the truth. She laid

on her side then quickly got up as he walked in.
Lawrence looked at her and started undressing
looking away.

She walked over to him.

“Hi baby..”

“Hi.”
She looked at him and swallowed. “I cooked.”

“I got a call from the Maun branch. Business is

not doing well there. I am going tomorrow and I
will be staying there till things go back to
normal.”

She blinked. “Do you have to stay there?”

“Yes. If business is not doing good then I can’t

make enough money and who knows who you
will sleep with next for money! I need to do this
to keep this marriage going because money is
obviously something that’s very needed or else
my wife will go and sell her body.”

Letty rubbed her eyes. “I made you your favorite

tonight.”

“You can have it. I ate where I was.”

“I looked for a few marriage counselors who

can help us.”

“Help us? Get the help because the problem

here is with you. You are the one that can’t keep
her legs closed, even your ass. You open
everything for whatever that has more money
and a dic.”

“He will just help us get though this. Please.”

He walked to the bathroom and showered.

Minutes later he walked out and got in bed.
Letty looked at him crying.

“Lawrence..”

“I want to sleep. You are making noise. And

stop crying as if someone did anything to you.
It’s annoying. Even the way you breathe so
loudly is annoying. Can you breathe silently? I
want to sleep.”

She blinked “Breathe silently?”

“Yes. Also stop blinking so much. It’s annoying.

Do it elsewhere, I don’t like it.”

Letty watched him close his eyes then walked

inside the bathroom crying.”
She walked out a while later and joined him in
bed. She looked up, her aunt had advised her
not to annoy him, she laid to her side and
closed her eyes crying in silence.

***

Hours later, Refa could feel her phone ring as

she danced. It had been vibrating for a while
and she knew it was Tefo trying to control her
as if she was his girlfriend.

The man who had been looking at her walked

over.

“Hey, I see the people you came with have

disappeared in the crowd.”
Refa smiled. “Yeah. But I am ok.”

“O sure? I can keep you company..”

Refa took out her phone as it vibrated again.

She looked at Tefo calling and took a deep
breath. The man smiled at her.

“Boyfriend?”

“Uh… sort of. I need to go home.”

Refa walked outside feeling herself start getting

sober as that phone rang. That fact he had been
calling for a while made her nervous.
“Tefo.”

“O kae?”

“At Kate’s house –“

“Ke ta go thuba ka clapa! Ware o kae and talk

fast before o ntena! Which club?”

She swallowed and quickly told him.

“Ke go retsi kereng about going there? You will

explain to me when I get there.”

“If you physically hurt me I will report you to the

police.”
“Call them now. I will be there in 15 minutes, I
better find you outside and ready!”

He hung up. Refa breathed out rubbing her

sweaty palm on her dress. She stood outside
pulling down her knee length dress further
down.

The man from the club walked out minutes later.

He looked at the fear in her eyes.

“Hey… are you ok?”

She nodded. “I am going home.”

“I am sure he will understand. Gape he doesn’t

have to know everything you do akere? Here,
have some water. You look scared.”

He handed her the open bottle of water.

“Drink some water to calm down.”

“No, I am ok-“

“Its just water. Have some. You are shaking.

Drink a bit and you will be fine.”

“No I am fine. I am ok.”

“It’s just water.”

Refa turned as Tefo pulled over. Her knees

weakened then she took the water. She tried to
control her breathing walking over. Tefo
stepped out of his car.

Refa looked at him shaking.

“I am sorry.”

“Who is that?”

“He was offering me water. I font know him.

He’s from inside the club.”

“Do you even know what’s in that water or you

just take anything?”

She threw it away. “I didn’t want it.”

He opened the door for her. She got in then he

walked round and jumped in.

“Didn’t I tell you not to go?”

“You did.”

“So what are you doing here?”

“I just wanted to loosen up.. I am sorry for lying

to you.”

Tefo sighed looking at her. “I am so pissed but I

have a lot on my plate including my daughter
who needs me. She’s only a year old and as
much it’s hard fathering her as I feel she’s not
getting the full deal, I want to be better and you
are going to land me in jail so it’s better we stop
this while we are still here. I will get you the car
still. You can go back.”

She looked at him. “I am sorry.”

“I want a woman who listens. Already you are
lying and having me call you a million times
while you ignore my calls. I don’t know how old
you think I am but I am too grown for this shit!
Step out of the car.”

Refa touched his hand. “Tefo I am sorry but o

bogale thata-“

“Because I don’t want you in clubs?! If you are

with me then I don’t want you in a freaking club!
O ta lela kana Arefa? Wa nkutwa kareng?”

She nodded as his deep voice got firmer.

“First you lie then ignore my calls after for me to

find you with men getting water that is probably
poisoned. Who knows what else you got.”

Tears filled her eyes. “Nothing, I bought my own

drinks.”

“Didn’t you have enough fun in Mauritius or o

bata go pagama di tafole?”

She sniffed.

“Get out of my car Arefa. Let’s not complicate

this further than this. I hate liars, they piss me
off.”

She looked at him and sat still in the car sniffing.

Tefo looked at her.
“Arefa, go back to whoever you were with. I am
freeing you. I just said you will get the car.”

She rubbed her eyes and out on the seatbelt.

He drove off wordlessly headed to her house

where he parked at the gate and looked at her.
She remained still.

“I don’t want to go while you are angry.”

“I am done talking to you. We have established

whatever this was.”

“I am sorry. I am sorry for doing what you said I

shouldn’t do and lying to you.”
Tefo stepped out of the car then opened the
door for her. He pulled her out. She looked up at
him sniffing.

“I am sorry.”

She closer the gap between them and kissed

him. Tefo kissed her back hard touching her
body. He lifted her dress and pulled her panty to
the side touching her p*ssy. Her body reacted
to his touch. Tefo turned her around so she had
her body against the car then bended her
slightly unzipping his pants.

Her p*ssy muscles clenched and she knew he

was going make her feel it.

He pushed it in. She bit her lower lip as he

blocked her pathway with his dic till he was all
in then…

Refa screamed with her head on the car seat

while Tefo continued hammering that p*ssy
standing outside. He grunted fucking her hard.

Tefo went deeper enjoying that sweet honey pot,

her meaty p*ssy hugged his entire dic. He
parted her ass and watched himself lost in the
pleasure.

Refa relaxed her body enjoying just how he was

tapping her. Of cause every thrust came with
some pain but the pleasure it also brought felt
so good and only he could make her feel that
good. He was so good that every time that dic
went in she understood who he was.

Her eye twitched followed by an explosive

orgasm knocking her out of her senses. She
squeezed her thighs together moaning his
name as she came releasing in the most
sweetest manner. Tefo tapped out that cum
groaning. He thrust deeper and faster as her
p*ssy did things to his dic.

He pulled her from the car making her stand

and held her tightly, his dic jerking filling her up
with his thick warm seeds.

Tefo slowed down and finally froze inside

kissing her shoulder.
“Fuck!”

He slid out and fixed her panty then packed his

package in his pants.

“You can go now.”

She looked at him weakly then got in the car

and closed her eyes.

She slowly opened them with a smile.

“I am sorry… I will behave better.”

He looked at her. “Do you want a contract? I

need you to behave in-“
She pulled him closer and kissed him.

“I said I am sorry daddy… I will behave. I can be

what you want… if you let me. You intimidate
me most of time. And you are too strict. I want
to be able to be myself when you are around,
that way you get what you want. I want you to
allow me to be free, being free doesn’t mean I
misbehave. I am a good girl. You know I am.”

Tefo looked at her. “You are stressing. I don’t

need more stress from you.”

“Ok.”

“As much as you want to be fucking me

however you wish… can there be times where
you are gentle?”

“If you are my peaceful corner, you will get

anything you want.”

She kissed him again wrapping her arm around

him. She smiled. “Sleep over.”

“I can’t. My daughter is alone with the nanny.”

“I don’t want you sleeping unhappy with me

then waking up angrier. You can leave after an
hour. Come..”

She got off the car and closed the door.

“Please.”
He sighed then locked the car and followed her
to her house.

A MONTH LATER…

A Months Later…

Refa parked the driving school car and turned

off the engine. The inspector looked at her
while her hands shook. She looked at him and
swallowed. He hadn’t said a word throughout
the drive. He wrote down something on the file
he was holding them stared at her.

“You failed. You are going to have to try again.”

Refa’s heart sank as tears filled her eyes. “What

did I do wrong?”

“When I asked you to take a u-turn what did you

say?”

A tear rolled down her cheeks. The instructor

laughed.

“I am joking, you passed!”

Refa looked at him then put her hands on her
face crying.

He laughed. “You did really well.”

Refa stepped out of the car shaking. The

instructor got out too.

“Do you gave a car?”

She laughed crying. “My… uh I was promised a

car if I got the license.”

He laughed. “Yaanong if you didn’t get the

license what was going to happen?”
She sniffed. “He wouldn’t give it to me till I have
a license.”

“O bogale boyfriend ya gago? (Is your boyfriend

strict?)”

Refa smiled. “Sort of.”

Refa’s phone rang, she opened the car door

and took her handbag. She smiled and picked.

“Hi.”

“Are you done?”

“I passed!” She screamed happily.

Tefo laughed. “Let me talk to the instructor.”

“Ke pasitse Tefo. Come and pick me up. I want

to go to their offices so they do my license.”

“I will be there in twenty minutes.”

“Ok.”

He hung then Refa followed the instructor to

collect her documents. Minutes later she
walked out picking her sister’s call.

“Hello?”
“Hi. Can you please send me money. The food
is finished.”

“I thought you bought food last week.”

“Papa took the money and he’d buy food

everyone. He didn’t buy anything for my baby.
He said I should go to the clinic.”

“I will send something.”

“I am thinking of going to Maun to look for a job.

I am pregnant again and I need to start-“

“You are what?”

“It was a mistake.”

“You are pregnant again?”

Her sister sniffed. “This is why I am going to

look for a job. You should have taken me with
when you went to Gaborone.”

“I can’t believe this. Why are you having sex

without a condom?! You are not working, I am
supporting you, your child and everyone else
and you get pregnant again?!”

“I am not asking for your money Refa, I am

going to look for a job.”

“Look for a job pregnant? And who will take

care of your child when you go? Who carries the
burden?”
“Why are you complaining so much when you
have a rich boyfriend who takes you overseas?”

“You are not leaving your baby behind. When

you go and look for a job, go with your child! O
bata go nnela mang morwalo? Take your baby
with. And my rich boyfriend is not your business.
Why are you getting in my boyfriend’s pocket?
You are ungrateful.”

Refa hung up pissed then a white twin cab

parked next to her. Refa moved away looking
around trying to spot Tefo.

The door opened making her turn. Tefo stepped

out and smiled. Refa smiled back as Tefo pulled
her and kissed her. She kissed him back then
moved back showing him her results.

He looked through smiling. “Good job.”

“Areye go sega license.”

He laughed. “You want to drive us there?”

He handed the car keys to the twin cab then

opened the door for her. Refa jumped in the car
and looked at a note on the dashboard. She
curiously reached for it.

‘Told you I’d keep true to my word.’

Her heart skipped, Refa turned and looked at

him. His smile told her all she needed to know.
Her heart skipped as she looked around the car.
She tried to scream but nothing came out then
broke down crying.

Tefo pulled her out of the car and hugged her.

“You got your license, here is your car.”

She held on to him crying. The instructor

walked out holding his car keys and looked at
her then laughed

“E tsile koloi? (The car has come?)”

Refa looked at him sobbing. The instructor

looked at Tefo.
“O re tsenya under pressure mister.”

Tefo laughed. “Bechang banna!”

“Gao kake wa reka GD6 ebe ore re beche!”

Tefo laughed then kissed Refa.

“Wanna give it a try?”

“I am so happy.”

He kissed her forehead. “I know.”

She turned to her brand new car and jumped

getting inside. She turned the car then it engine
started. She screamed hitting the steering
wheel then pinched herself making sure it
wasn’t dream. She stepped out and took
pictures of her beast then posted on Facebook
shaking.

She finally got in the car and kissed the steering

wheel. She smiled as he jumped in. “Drop me
off at work. I need to handle something. You
will be fine alone?”

She smiled. “I will be fine..”

Refa slowly reversed then joined the road and

drove off. His phone rang, he took it out and
picked.

“Hello?” His voice softened. “Hey..”

Refa stopped at a red traffic light and looked at
him.

“I will call you. I’m doing something right now, I

will call after a few minutes.” He hung up.

She took a deep breath and drove off seconds

later trying to find a way to adk about the call.

At Tefo Trans, Refa parked then looked at him.

“Ke go picke? (Should I pick you up?)”

Tefo shook his head. “No. I will see you
tomorrow.”

She sighed disappointedly. “I thought you would

want to sleep over tonight. It’s Friday. I will
make us dinner. We can watch something or do
whatever you want us to do.”

“I am busy. I will see you tomorrow.”

“With the person you were talking to on the

phone?”

Tefo frowned staring at her. She took a deep

breath.

“Maybe. That’s not your business.”

“But Fridays are for me. You come over on
Fridays.”

“And who told you Fridays are for you? When I

am horny, I will come, I am ok. I will see you
when I have time. I may not even see you this
weekend, find something to do. I have other
commitments and never question me on who I
talk to on my phone. Gorileng?! Ebe o bata go
mbora akere?”

She looked at him, jealousy filling her heart. It

was obviously a woman. She had no right to be
upset or even question anything. She had
gotten a car and the more she thought of it, the
more she felt stupid.
“I just thought…”

Her heart thudded against her chest. She turned

trying to blink away the tears in her eyes then
sniffed.

“Why are you crying?”

“You can go.”

“What?”

“Tefo do you want me to say? O tenegile and

you want to hurt my feelings because you know
you can and maybe that makes you feel better
but you are really spoiling my mood right now. I
was just asking, I am sorry for asking.”
“Which question are you answering?!”

She kept quiet rubbing a tear that had just fallen.

His phone rang then he stepped out and walked
inside his company.

Refa watched him walk inside the company

answering a call. She took a deep breath in then
connected her phone to the Bluetooth speaker
and played a song driving off.

She distracted herself singing along while

driving the big car. Who knew that could ever be
her? Her phone vibrated disturbing her dong.

“Kate…”

“GD6 monyana!”

Refa laughed. “I feel untouchable!”

“I would to. Ware where can I find a man like

Tefo? So handsome, good dic, so much money
too.”
Refa smiled. “He has flaws..lots of them.
Sometimes like today, I feel like a prostitute. He
comes on Fridays so I thought he was coming
tonight but he said he’s busy and he had been
talking to a woman minutes before. I know he’s
going to her which I know shouldn’t bother me
but today of all days, I felt like a prostitute. Like
he’s just paid me for sex with the car.”

“Don’t think like that. And le wena mma you

don’t need to be questioning him on anything.
Tefo does a lot for you. Where have you ever
met a man that gives you so much money as
allowance? Just enjoy whatever you get and
keep it moving.”

Refa rolled down her window. “Yeah..”

“Wena don’t question anything. Enjoy the soft
pecks you get from being with him.. I know as a
woman you are going to want more, you will get
more when you move on from him but for now,
buy that plot you want and start building. Men
with excessive money like Tefo don’t come by
everyday. From there you will find a man that
will worship the ground you walk on and get
married. Tefo would be a thing of the past.”

Refa smiled. “I am driving, we will talk.”

“Come and pick me up do we can take it for a

spin.”

She laughed. “Ok.”

Refa’s song continued then she moved her

body singing.

Letty finished packing her bag and called her

husband. Lawrence’s phone rang for a while.

“Yeah?”

She smiled. “Hey, o busy?”

“What do you want?”

“I sent you a message last night. You haven’t

replied to it.”
“I was busy.”

“Oh… ke eta ko.”

“To do what?”

“Law-“

“I am busy with work.. you don’t have to come.”

“I haven’t seem you in a month.”

“So? Other people don’t see each other for

years and they are ok.”

“I miss you.”
“I am busy. Don’t come.”

She hung up then called her sister.

“Letty..”

“Do you think Law still wants me? It’s been a

month.”

“Give him time. You cheated! Stop putting him

under pressure. It’s annoying. You can’t cheat
and expect people to forgive you as soon as
possible. Your sex tape is still getting watched.”

“I want to see him..”

“Let the poor guy breath! I was just on
Facebook and some girl has been bought a car
by her boyfriend. A GD6. That couple have been
your life if you didn’t cheat. He wanted to buy
you a car and you messed things for someone
who doesn’t care about you.”

Letty took a deep breath. “I want to fix my

marriage. What should I do now?”

“Stay away from him. Give him space!”

Letty dropped the call. She picked her bags and

walked outside with them then packed them in
the car. She finally got in and drove off headed
up North.

Amara looked at the GD6 Refa had posted on
Facebook with a ‘Thank you can’t thank
you enough for this gift'

Amara looked out through her window and

looked at her second have car. Now that had a
new job, she could purchase a nice car.

She went on the internet searching for cars. She

could actually use her sayings and get herself
the car. The scrolled past a Jeep and few bigger
cars. She finally stopped at a Land Rover
Discovery and smiled then picked her phone
and called the bank.

Someone knocked on the door and walked in.

“Hi, Mr David wants an emergency meeting. He
needs the report you have been working on.”

“it’s not done yet!”

“He doesn’t look too happy. Let’s go.”

In the boardroom, Amara walked in as

everyone looked at her. Tefo watched her as
she sat down

“ I need you to start with the presentation.”

Anara looked at him. “We need a few hours with

the report Mr David and it will be ready.”
“I want you to start the presentation. You had
days to do this and you are still not done? What
exactly am I paying you for?”

She looked at everyone as they looked at her. “I

am sorry. I will start with what I have right
now.”

She started with the presentation visibly

shaking. She looked at him answering the last
question.

“Mr David, any questions?”

Tefo stared at her and carried on with the

meeting. Thirty minutes later he walked out
going to his office. Tefo sat down and his eyes
fell on his wife’s picture. Tefo picked it up
staring at her smile.

“Hey Mrs David… I miss you.”

He put it down then thought of Refa feeling

guilty. He picked his phone and called her.

“Tefo.. I am sorry. Please… ga ke lwe.(I am not

fighting.) You were right. You will come when
you feel like it. It’s a sexual relationship after
all.”

“I will come tonight. What should I bring you?”

“Nothing…”
“I am sorry.”

“Even if I don’t forgive you, it doesn’t matter.”

“It does. I am sorry. My brother is getting

married tomorrow. Come with me. I will be
bored because I honestly don’t want to be
there.”

“Why?”

“I don’t think he deserves to be that happy after

everything he did.”

“Don’t you think we all deserve second

chances?”
“You almost sound like my.. like Osa.”

“Do I remind you of Osa Tefo?”

“No. My daughter does.”

“You are a good dad to her.”

“I have an incoming call..I will see you later.”

“Ok.”

Tefo hung up and picked his uncle’s call.

“Malome..”
“You are coming tomorrow right?”

“Yes.”

“I am proud of you. I hear you found a girl.

Gatwe she’s pretty.”

“She’s fine.”

“How are you feeling these days? Still feeling

like hurting everyone.”

“I did something a month ago to one of people I

had a grudge on and somehow I didn’t feel any
better.”

“Revenge is not the option.”

“I don’t know about that. I think I can forgive
everyone else… I will let it go. But not Tumo.”

“Tefo..”

“I feel lost without Osa. I don’t even know how

long I can survive without her. Everyday I keep
thinking maybe I need to be with her wherever
she is. I thought Angie would make me feel
better and I love my daughter but sometimes I
hate her. I feel I will never fully love her. I hate
myself even more. If I had been a good husband
then my wife would still be alive. I feel am
unhappy with everything. I think I am just tired.”

“I don’t like your tone.”

Tefo chuckled. “We will talk tomorrow at the
wedding. Don’t worry about me.”

Later that evening, Refa opened the door and

looked at Tefo. He smiled holding flowers.

“Hi.”
Refa looked at the roses and smiled. “Hi.”

He walked inside the house and handed her the

flowers. She smiled taking them then looked at
him.

“I am about to finish cooking.”

Tefo looked at her smile and nodded. He sat on

her kitchen stool and watched move around her
kitchen. She was beautiful with the short hair.
Her skin was flawless too. Refa turned and
looked at him then smiled.

“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, did you manage with registering the
car too?”

“Yes. I wasn’t leaving those offices before I

could do it. I can’t believe it’s mine. It still feels
like I am dreaming.”

She closed her pot and walked over then stood

between his legs.

“Thank you. That’s the best thing anyone has

ever gotten me.”

He kissed her putting his hands on her waist.

“You are very beautiful.”

Refa smiled. “Thank you. What’s stressing

you?”

“Nothing you would understand.”

“Try me…”She cupped his face. “What’s wrong?

You are not yourself.”

He kissed her forehead. “I don’t want to

complicate things-“

“Why won’t you let me in Tefo? I know and I

understand what you said. But can’t I be a friend?
I am a good friend.”

He chuckled. “You can’t help me.”

“What is it? You miss your wife?”

He looked in her eyes. “Yes.”

“I admired how you used to love her. Or how

you always chose her. I know you might think
she went with everything but I don’t think she
did, I think she left you with her entire heart
through your daughter. I can imagine how hard
it must be to look at her and think of the
sacrifice her mother made but that baby is the
love Osa had for you. You will always have a
piece of her. She will always be part of you
forever. You are so angry and cold, don’t be
hard on yourself Tefo. You were the best you
could be and maybe she was there to prepare
you for the woman you will marry.”

Tefo laughed. “When did you become a

counselor?”
She smiled. “I told you I can be a friend. I
understand I am here to help release stress but
we can be friends. You are too sad. I feel it
when you are on top of me and even in the way
you talk to me. Hurt people hurt people.”

Tefo squeezed her waist. “I am losing myself.”

“You are not. You are just trying to cope. How

about we go for a drive? We will eat after. Let’s
go.”

“Say you want to test drive your car.”

She laughed. “Ija.”

She grabbed a basket and put a few snacks
inside then took a blanket from her couch.

“Come let’s go.”

She put everything in the car and got in with him

then drove off.

She drove for in a while and finally parked at a

garden.

She kissed him. “I am coming. I know the

security guard.”

She jumped out of the car and hurried over to

the security guard at the gate. Tefo opened the
door ready to take over in case anything
happened. He watched her closely.

“Sk! It’s Refa. Therra can you let me in..I need

an hour then I am gone.”

The middle aged security guard smiled.

“Tsena!”

Refa jumped back in the car and drove in. Tefo

stared at her as she drove wondering what she
was planning. She parked the car near a man
made dam in the garden and smiled.

“Come.

She stepped out and laid down the blanket. She

put the basket on the blanket and pulled his
hand.

“Lets lie down.”

“Refa-“

“Come.”

She laid down with him and smiled. “Imagine if

she were one of the stars and you could talk to
her.”

“We are not in a movie Arefa.”

“I know but just do. I know it sounds stupid but I

did it when I lost my mother and … it helped. I
vented, I got angry then accepted and… let go.
Try it. You don’t have to be loud. It can be silent
thing.”

She laid on his chest looking at the stars. Tefo

sighed. A while later Refa’s breathing got
slower abd softer. Tefo looked at her and she
had fallen asleep. She got closer getting
comfortable. He kissed her forehead and
relocked at the stars. He had nothing to lose in
just trying.

Hours later in be the early morning, Momo took

a deep breath unable to sleep. She could
imagine herself the following day greeting her in
-laws. Her excitement made her turn facing the
wall. Her phone vibrated, she took it and picked.
“Nolo…”

“Monyadi wa rona!”

Momo laughed. “I can’t sleep.”

“I am happy for you. See you wanted to waste

your time with Tefo?”

“Yeah.. I can’t wait to be a married woman at a

family event and sit prettily.’”

“I wish I could come.”

“I know but it’s still ok. Lenna I wouldn’t want

you here. You are low-key a witch..I will never
forget how you used me and ditched me.”

Bonolo laughed. “I thought we moved on.”

“Ng.. you are not a nice person.”

“Ija.. I have been thinking and… I want to come

home.”

“They will arrest you.”

***

In Netherlands, Bonolo laughed holding on her

phone.
“No..I doubt anyone would recognize me.”

“I can.”

“You haven’t seen me a while.”

“I know you.”

“I miss home. I feel lonely and all alone. Gavin is

moving across the world and things are not
great. I am not going with him.”

“You can’t come back. Jail is waiting for you.”

“Yes but… I was hoping to ask for a favor from

you to make it happen.”

“Nolo..”

“I just need this one favor. I spoke to a lawyer

and he said it would work.. I thought I’d be on
but… things are not great and Gavin… he…
things are just not great. I need a favor.”

“What?”

Momo listened as her mouth dropped open.

“What?”

“Momo-“
“Are you crazy?! And you think Tefo would
agree…? Are you high?”

“Please help me. Please .. if not then I have no

choice but to do a plastic surgery.”

“I don’t care, be Beyonce or better yet Rihanna if

you can, I am not going to risk my freedom for
this. I am getting married! From here I am
getting pregnant back to back.. I will not
sacrifice my freedom for you. I am not Jesus, I
am pretty sure I am going to hell after I die so
please I beg!”

She hung up. Bonolo stared at her phone and

rubbed her forehead staring at her husband’s
life policy. She bit her lower lip, a divorce was
looming around the corner and she knew he
was leaving her with nothing but if he died… 1
million dollars was a lot of money. She bit her
lower lip lost in her thoughts.

Tefo woke up to his phone ringing early in the

“Yeah?”

“Hi, it’s Rachel, Osa’s cousin, I-“

“Call me later. I am in bed and I don’t want to

wake up my girlfriend.”
“Oh…I thought you-“

Tefo hung up and switched off his phone then

pulled Refa closer.

Thank you for the calls and messages family

Momo pressed her phone that came morning

while her family negotiated with Bokani’s family
outside. She opened her social media to
distract herself and someone on her timeline
had shared another lady’s post of the GD6 her
boyfriend had just gotten her.

Momo looked at the car, it looked brand new.

She opened the comment section and read
through the clicked on the lady’s profile. Momo
looked at her pictures knowing there had to be
somewhere she had seen this lady before. She
scrolled down going through her pictures..

She was pretty, it made sense why the

boyfriend would get her a car if he could afford
the trips to Mauritius. Whoever took her
pictures was very good. She scrolled further
down till a post about the bake the lady sold.

Momo chuckled as she remembered where she

had met her. She had bought a couple of things
from her. Momo went to her Whatsapp and
searched for her number and there it was. She
clicked on it and sent a message.

Momo: Now you can deliver our clothes ka GD6

😂
mma ebile what do you have in stock right
now?
Mmagwe Momo walked in the room smiling.

“Your aunts are coming. Put away your phone.”

Momo put away her phone and smiled excitedly

as her aunt’s walked in to dress her. The
excitement in her stomach showed on her face.
This was it. She had always thought to get
married she would have to suffer in the
relationship first but here she was. Her mother
smiled proudly looking at her.

Later that morning, Refa walked out of her

bedroom in a German print dress and black
heels. She picked Tefo’s call.
“Hi.”

“Did you see the dress?”

“Yes, it’s beautiful. Thank you.”

“I am around the corner.”

“Ok. How are you going to introduce me to your

family? I can be just a nanny.”

“I will handle that.”

“Ok.”
He dropped the call as someone knocked on
the door. Refa walked over and opened. She
frowned looking at her ex.

“O batang wena?”

“I left my clothes the last time I was here. And

my cup too. I also want the air fryer I bought
you. And the money I gave you during the
course of our relationship. I never got anything
back from you during the relationship, not even
a handjob and you dump me because I found it
elsewhere? I need everything I gave you. Akere
now you get cars?! Who did you finally give that
p*ssy to?”

“Those..” She sighed then closed the door

locking it and walked back in the house where
she collected everything he ever got her
shoving them in a black bin plastic.

Meanwhile Tefo drove in the yard and parked

his Benz next to the GD6. He stepped out
looking at the man standing by Refa’s door,
Tefo fixed his suit and walked over looking at
the time. The man looked at her.

“Eita..”

“Sure!”

Refa opened the door and looked at Tefo then

at her ex.
“Here are your things. And you never gave me
any money apart from the 200 I had asked for
electricity and transport. I will ewallet it to you.
Anything else?”

Tefo pulled Refa and kissed her. “Who’s he?”

“Ex. He’s here to take his things.”

The ex shook his head. “Nyaa boss, kana ke

gore Refa-“

“How much did you give her in total? Including

petrol to come here to see her and any other
things you did. Give me a summed up amount.”

The ex swallowed looking at him. Obviously he

was the one who had bought the GD6 had he
had seen him in the newspaper once.

“I was just… kana Refa didn’t treat me right. I

was just-“

“I hear you mister mene, I just want to know

how much you spent on her. I am trying to help
you here.”

He swallowed. “Maybe 3k..”

Tefo took out his phone and pressed it.

“Give me your number.”

He called out his number as his voice got lower.

Tefo processed the payment

“That’s 5k. The other 2k is to cover anything

wise you forgot. We are done now. If I catch you
here I am going to kick you so hard because
this is my girl and I don’t play when it comes to
my territory do let’s part in good spirits.”

He nodded then carried the black bin to the gate

where his Corolla was parked. Tefo looked at
Refa, she had done something to her hair. He
looked at the curls. Refa smiled.

“Can I tell you something?”

Tefo squeezed her butt kidding her neck. Refa

wrapped her arms around him.
“I don’t like how you just disappear in the
morning. I understand I am booty call but you
can just wake me up when you leave. I don’t
want to spend the day wondering if I did
something.”

“I am trying avoid unnecessary conversation.”

She smiled. “Its not unnecessary. Thank you for

the dress.”

“Let’s go.”

“It’s in Gaborone?”

“Yes. Her parents also passed on so we are

going to her uncle’s house.”
She locked the door and walked with him to the
car. Refa got in and turned looking at Tefo’s
nanny holding the baby.

“Hi, can I hold her?”

The nanny handed her the baby then Tefo

reversed and drove off while Refa looked at
Angie. She was an exact copy of her mother.
She opened her eyes and smiled.

***

Tumo stood by his car that same morning with

his uncle.
“I don’t think he will come.”

His uncle shook his head. “Tefo always does

what he says he will do. O eta. He’s your brother,
he wouldn’t miss this no matter how much he
hates you.”

Tumo looked at his ringing phone and picked

the unsaved number.

“Hello?”

“So you killed my sister in cold blood and you

get to be released in just two years. From there
you are getting married like you are not a
murderer? You will reap what sow Tumo..your
karma is coming and it will be the most painful
thing you will ever go through. Ke go tswere ka
pelo Tumo David! You will pay for what you did!”

She hung up just as Tefo parked his car. Tumo

looked over and watched Tefo stepped out with
a woman.

He walked over holding the woman’s hand.

“This is Refa, she says she wants to be a

friend.”

Refa smiled looking at him. Tefo wrapped his

arm around her and shrugged then carried on
talking.

“Refa this is my uncle and my brother.”

Tefo’s uncle smiled. “She is very beautiful. How
are you my girl?”

Refa shyly smiled. “I am well yourself?”

“I am good now that I have seen you. Now we

can dismiss this arranged marriage nonsense.”

Tumo chuckled. “We marry our friends in this

family Refa.”

Tefo laughed. “He is talking from experience.

What’s next yaanong?”

“Introductions.. let’s get in.”

They walked inside the yard

***

At Naledi Motor Center, Amara got out of the

brand new G-Wagon smiling.

She stepped out smiling. Her cousin looked at

her.

“Did they tell you the price?”

“Yes. I am getting it.”

“Ama.. I hope we are not getting a new car

because someone was gifted a GD6.”
Amara rolled her eyes laughing. “Never..I am
buying it because I feel I need a new car. I am
not even bothered about someone who’s salary
is my fuel money. We all know she got the car
from sleeping with him and I know very well it’s
not a relationship. They are not even a month
old and already there’s a car in the mix. She
knows why he bought her that car. So can he
freely use her. I can afford myself and that’s
just that. She obviously does not have a say in
the relationship. That’s what he’s paying her for.
Couzie this girl is no different from a prostitute,
one with no life goals obviously. Who would
want a car without a house? That car is
probably in his name. From here when he’s
done he will take it. That’s men for you.”

Later on, Refa walked out of the tent she had

been sitting in holding Angie who had fallen
asleep on her arms. She spotted Tefo a
distance away laughing with his uncles. She
smiled then walked to the car pressing the car
keys and put the baby at the back seat and
jumped in rolling down the windows.

She sat in the car then turned as a lady walked

over wearing a very beautiful dress, Refa couple
swear she was the bride.

The lady smiled standing by the window with

her fresh makeup.

“Hi..”

Refa politely smiled back. “Hello.”

“Rachel, you are?”

Tefo walked over and looked at Rachel. Refa

looked at both of them, she smiled at Tefo.

“Hi.”
Tefo blinked confused. “Who told you I was
here?”

Rachel laughed pushing her long Brazilian

weave back. “Ke bo malome… I came in on
behalf of the family.”

“Come.”

He pulled her hand. Refa watched as he stood a

distance from her talking to her. She smiled
then Tefo cutely smiled. Refa took a deep
breath looking away.

She tried to think positive thought but she

turned and they were still talking.
Tefo finally walked over to her while Rachel
walked away. He tried to kiss her but she
moved her head.

“I am a little tired. Can I go home?”

Tefo stared at her with a frown. She smiled.

“Please..”

“What’s wrong?”

Refa opened her mouth to say nothing but then

this was Tefo and she knew just punishable
that was. He’d fuck the shit out of her.

“I feel I am suffocating you. I want you to talk to

the women you want without me being there to
ruin things for you.”

“That is Rachel. Osa’s cousin that Osa’s family

is trying to hook me up with. If you could just
ask you’d save us all this.”

“Ask you so you can make me feel tiny? Let’s

just stick to being friends and you can marry
whoever you want to marry.”

“O bata go lwa le nna? (You want to fight with

me?)”

She looked at him. “No.”

“I just told you who she is didn’t I?”

“You brought me here for your family event Tefo
and now you are talking to the woman they are
trying to get you married to. You go and stand
far away laughing and smiling. I’d rather be just
a sex toy than have you do this in front of eyes.
It’s embarrassing, not that it should matter to
you but I have feelings too. I have no right to
complain so it’s fine..I will seat in the car.”

“Ga ke jole le motho ole..I explained myself. O

bata ke reng?”

She swallowed her jealousy and sniffed. He

tilted her chin.

“I need you to stop this, now. I explained myself,

we are dropping the matter.”
“I will sit in the car with the baby.”

“The nanny is coming. We are going. Ke eta.”

He walked back in the yard and spoke to a few

people then drove off with everyone in the car.
He watched her as she looked out of the car.
Tefo looked at the time then parked at his
house and turned to the nanny.

“Take her..I will see you later.”

“Eerra.”

She took the baby and walked inside the gate.

Tefo waited till she closed the gate and drove
off. His phone vibrated as the alarm system
alerted him that someone was entering his
house. He looked at the screen then it vibrated
again showing that she had turned on the
house security and all doors leading outside
where locked.

Tefo drove to her house and walked inside with

her. Refa looked at him.

“I am tired.”

Tefo put his hands on her waist pulling her

closer.

“Ware gorileng?”
Refa blinked. “I don’t know what you want me to
say. O bata go mpuisa bosola akere?”

“O ngaletsing?”

“I am not-“

Tefo kissed her unzipped her dress. He pulled it

down and put his hand inside her panty flicking
her clit while he kissed her harder.

She staggered losing balance but Tefo wrapped

his arm around her holding her in place. He
released her lips and sucked her nipples flicking
her more. She rubbed his hand moaning then
spasmed squeezing her legs together. Tefo
pulled out her panty and unzipped his pants.
He didn’t care about her mood when it came to
her cookie jar. He always took it. He lifted her
up and placed her on the couch and pushed
both legs to her chest staring at her closed lips.
He took out his dic, hard and veined.

He pressed it between her p*ssy lips and

rubbed himself on her then slid through
grunting.

Fuck she was sweet!

He loved the tightness and just warm she was.

Her walls hugged his dic as he pushed further
inside. He kissed her thrusting slowly.

Refa put his hands on his shoulders moaning

softly underneath him. He went deeper
increasing the pace. Refa closer her eyes
enjoying that dic inside her.

Tefo pressed both legs to her chest and fucked

her grunting satisfying himself between her
legs.

She slowly opened moaning looking at him, it

felt so good she curled her toes. Tefo tapped
every corner till he found that weak spot inside
that p*ssy. She held her legs then he adjusted
his position and properly fucked her for minutes.

Her p*ssy clenched. “Ahh.. Tefooo… ohhh…”

Tefo kissed her neck and laid on top of her

exerting his weight on her and thrust deeper. He
moaned in her ear and together with those deep
strokes that seemed to be hitting the rightful
spot, she rolled her eyes to the back cumming
shaking underneath him.

Tefo tapped her so good that she could feel

something else coming. Her p*ssy clung on to
him. She froze stiffening and let out the squirt.

“Fuvk that’s my girl..”

“Ahh Tefo…”

Tefo grunted spurting his seeds inside her. Tefo

kissed her and slowly pulled out. He kissed her.

“I have a conference I need to attend in Paris.

You are coming with me.”
She looked at him breathing heavily.

“ Next week?”

“Yes.”

“I can’t just take leave Tefo, I-“

“You are not staying behind. If it’s a problem

then maybe we need to find you a better job or
better yet, a place to sell your bails at.”

He got off the bed and wiped his dic and put it
in his pants. Tefo pulled her closer. “You job
pays you peanut, we can find something better
because I need you to be flexible. I will see you
later. Make a decision.”

“I also have a doctor’s appointment about the

contraception.”

He looked at her. “There are doctors in Paris.

And it’s only a couple of days. You should be
fine.”

“Tefo I don’t want a baby. I-“

“I can support my child but we will see a doctor

there.”

He kissed her and walked out. Refa laid there

naked satisfied. Her phone, she reached for it
and unlocked it. She opened the bank message.
FNB P20000.00 paid to Current Acc. @
Smartapp. Ref.Allowance

He texted her short after.

Tefo: Do your nails for the trip.

Refa laughed in shock.

***

Rachel drove back to her house calling her aunt.

“Rachel..”
“Tefo has a girlfriend. Why didn’t you tell me
that? He told me he told rragwe Osa he wasn't
interested in me. Thank he was nice about it. He
even asked me to stop trying because his focus
is on someone else who actually been making
him feel human as of late.”

“We are not going to approve that girl. It’s either

you or no one else will raise Osa’s daughter. We
will not allow it. We already spoke to his family
and they understand. Whether he likes it or not
it will happen. He will warm up to you. Gape he
is still hurting so that gives you a lot of
advantage. Wena don’t worry about that woman.
Just relax. I know this is what Osa would have
wanted instead of having a cheap girl in her
house trying to raise her daughter sleeping with
her husband.”

Later that day Tefo parked his car at the

Tlokweng Bordergate where his trucks where
being inspected. He walked towards the
officers talking to the driver.

“Banga lehatshe!”
The officers looked at him and laughed. “Gona
le molato go ha.”

Tefo smiled. “So I hear.”

The other officer looked at him. “Your drivers

are transporting other goods not listed here in
the country. I know you run a very big business
that has helped a lot of our brothers and sisters
but such things tarnish the good name you have
built for yourself. You are one of the people I
respect because you took my sister who only
had a BGCSE certificate, hired her then your
company paid for her to go to university. Today
she was promoted to the Insurance company. I
have so much respect for you which is why I
think these drivers are looking for you to fail in
life. It’s one thing to smuggle things that even if
we catch, they don’t matter but not stolen
goods?”

“I hear you and tota we are going to deal with

this professionally but can we talk English right
now..these trucks are carrying goods worth
hundreds of thousands and you have 10 of
them. We can talk about this, please..”

The officers around nodded. “We can always

talk about this. It’s only the 4 of us. A cold drink
wouldn’t hurt.”

Tefo reached for his pocket then shook the

officers hand. The office quickly put his hand in
his pocket.

“Ok, you can go!”

The drivers walked to the trucks. Tefo walked
back to his car and sighed calling a number.

“Tefo!”

“How the fuvk are stolen goods being

transported in our trucks?”

“What?”

“You heard me! Stolen goods! What? You didn’t

think I’d find out?”

“Tefo-“

“You begged for this job! And this is why I don’t

hire relatives because of this shit! Monday ho
straight to HR, o kare o ta na problem.”

Tefo drove off, his phone rang. He looked at the

unsaved number and picked.

“Yeah?”

“T-Boy!”

Tefo laughed. “Kitso?!”

“Guess who’s back?”

“I can’t believe this.”

Kitso laughed. “I am going to radio station. I am

going to tell them a little history about you like
that time you cried for Maemo or that time you-“

Tefo laughed. “Voetsek!”

“I am back. German was good but it’s time..”

“We should go out for drinks. I thought you’d

never come back.”

“Yeah but… things have been unstable. We will

talk about it when we meet though. I am at the
airport and I picked a newspaper to just see you
are on the front page. Who knew Tefo? That
one day you wouldn’t be a filling station
attendant?”
“Say we because you have also done well for
yourself.”

“Not like you. I am proud to be your friend. I can

tell everyone where we started.. unemployed,
doing piece jobs, sweeping people’s yards. At
some point we cleaned a house for 350.
Remember that? Then we tried that car wash
thing. Look now…”

Tefo chuckled. “So you got a job here?”

“No. I left my job in German. The racist was …

too much. It feels good to be home. It was an
instant decision to be honest. My baby mama
and kids remained so I can try and settle.”

“So what now?”

“I am looking for a job. I was hoping maybe we
could talk over a drink.”

“Yeah but you can forward me your CV. I know

people and I promise by next week you will be in
an office.”

Kitso laughed. “Thank you. How are you

holding up?”

“Ahh what can I say? There’s no getting used to

it, just accepting the reality.”

“Let’s have those drinks tonight so we can talk.

I just want to see you.”
“Sure, I will pick you up.”

Tefo hung up as a message reported. He

opened it and looked at the picture from Refa in
a black lingerie set. He bit his lower lip slowing
down looking then read her message.

Refa: Paris?

He smiled and called her.

“Hey…”

Tefo chuckled. “I like it. Keep it on. I am

coming.”

“This one is for Paris…”

“I am coming to pick you up.”

“I am not going to put it on.”

“Can’t I test drive it?”

“Ng Ng…nope!”

“Refa-“

“Say please..”

He laughed. “Really now?”

“Ijo, let me take it off.”

“Ok.. please.”

She giggled. “Your wish is granted.”

“I am coming to pick you up..”

Tefo drove back to Gaborone.

***

At Tefo’s house, mmagwe Osa walked in the

house with her husband’s sister and Rachel.

Mmagwe Osa smiled looking at the nanny

holding Angie and took her.
“Hey Angie..”

She giggled smiling. The nanny smiled.

“How are you?”

“I am fine, where is rragwe Angie?”

“I am not sure. I will call him.”

She walked to the kitchen while Rachel looked

around. Her aunt looked at her.

“This will all be yours.”

Rachel smiled looking at the big house. It
looked like something you’d see on Top Billing
or something like that. There was Osa’s portrait
on the wall. Rachel took a deep breath and
walked around. She walked down the passage
trying to not see herself in the house seeing just
how he had rejected her earlier on.

She opened a door and walked in noticing it

was the main bedroom. She looked at Osa’s
other portrait.

She took a deep breath going closer. The wind

blew in as the windows opened blowing the
curtains. The portrait fell shuttering to the
ground. Rachel jumped startled. The windows
closed with a bang, the picture frame of Tefo
and Osa that was on the side table fell together
as of someone was pushing them.
The door opened as someone pulled her hair
behind. Rachel screamed turning. Her aunt
walked in, her skipping as looked at the
bedroom. The windows opened again and
banged closing. Rachel ran out screaming with
her aunt behind her.

"Ghost!"

Rachel screamed running out of the house

starling Angie that she started crying
immediately.

The nanny looked over curiously while Rachel’s

aunt ran out too.

Mmagwe Osa handed the nanny the baby and

followed behind.

“What’s wrong?”

“Open this gate I want to go! She’s inside the

house! Her ghost is in the house!”
“Rachel-“

“She dropped the pictures and the windows

started opening. She’s inside!”

“Rachel-“

“I saw it! I saw it!” She screamed hysterically

shaking. Mmagwe Osa moved back noticing
she had peed herself. The aunt swallowed.

“I saw it too. Osa is haunting the house.”

Mmagwe Osa frowned. “Are you trying to say

my daughter is a ghost?”

“Things were happening in the house!”

Rachel shook her head. “She is a ghost yes! She
pulled my hair and her picture frame-“

Wind blew across the yard then a wind tornado

came over their side. Rachel screamed crying.
Mmagwe Osa pressed the gate remote
confused then Rachel ran out with her aunt.
They got in the car and sped off as the wind
died down.

The nanny walked out talking on the phone.

“She was screaming ghost then she ran away

with other woman.”

Mmagwe Osa turned. “Ke rragwe Angie?”

“Yes.”

The nanny handed her the phone.

“Tefo…”

“What’s going on in my house?”

“My boy lenna I don’t know. Rachel and your

father in-laws sister accompanied me to drop
off a few clothes that Angie forgot at my house.
From there she starts screaming saying Osa is
in the house. Even the poor wind was accused
of being a ghost.”

“I thought I made it clear that I am not

interested.”

“And nna I 10% agree with you. I don’t even

believe anyone does what they are trying to do. I
am really sorry.. Tota to say I am ashamed
won’t be enough. I loved you for Osa because
you proved to be the perfect man but that
doesn’t mean that we now try to marry you off
to one of us again.”

“I don’t like what’s happening. I have been very

respectful and I want to keep it like that
because we all have this child that connects us.
Le bagolo, act like it.”

“Of cause. Well I saw Angie, I will see her soon.”

“Eemma.”
She hung up and took a deep breath walking
back in the house where she handed the nanny
the phone and kissed Angie’s forehead.

“Bye my girl.”

She walked out with her bag. The nanny walked

to the bedroom and looked at her boss’s late
wife’s picture frame shuttered on the floor. It
was clear that woman had broken it. She shook
her head and put the baby down then got a
broom and a dustpan.

***

Refa looked at Tefo as he drove to his house.

She put his hand on his thigh.
“Tefo slow down.”

He looked at her. She smiled. “I don’t want to

die.”

He chuckled then slowed down.

“I need to sort out something at home quickly.”

She nodded. Minutes later he parked at his

house and looked at her.

“Come.”

She looked at him. “I don’t want to be

disrespectful. I will stay in the car. Tshuba AC.
(Switch on the AC.)”

“You can come inside. It’s ok.”

He stepped out and opened the door for her.

She looked at him then stepped out with him.
Refa followed him inside the house. She took a
deep breath, Tefo kissed her cheek.

“Sit, I am coming.”

He walked to the bedroom, Refa looked at Osa’s

picture and smiled. She was so beautiful, Refa
went closer looking at her smile. She fixed the
frame straightening it.
She sat down waiting for him. The calmness in
the house had her relaxing though the guilty of
being in another woman’s house had her
getting up.

Tefo walked inside his bedroom and looked at

the nanny cleaning the glasses on the floor.

“What happened?”

She got up. “Angie’s grandmother came with

the other woman. She started screaming like a
mad woman, I don’t know what time she came
in here. She was saying ghost.”
“Never let anyone in my house, whether I know
them or not. You call me first.”

“Yes sir. I cleaned the glasses.”

He looked at his daughter sleeping on the bed

peacefully.

“I am dropping off a friend then I will be back.”

“Eerra.”

He walked out going to the sitting room but

Refa was standing outside.

He followed her. “Are you ok?”

She smiled. “I feel I am disrespecting Osa being
in her house.”

“Osa is not here anymore. I am single.”

“It is still her house. And you still wear your ring.
You are not that single.”

“Does my ring bother you?”

“No. I know you still love her. It’s not easy to

just forget someone you shared your life with. I
am just saying you are not that single. She is
still a part of you and I respect that that’s why
being in her house feels more than just
disrespectful.”
He watched her as she spoke then she smiled
touching his chest.

“I think I should go.”

He kissed her. She closed her eyes as he

wrapped his arms around her. She kissed him
back. His phone rang. He released her and
opened the car door for her. She jumped in as
he picked the private caller.

“Hello?”

“Your daughter was molested the last time she

visited her grandparents, test her for HIV.”
Tefo frowned. “What? Who’s this?”

“Test her.”

The caller hung up

***

In Francistown, Letty sighed standing in front of

the closed doors at her husband’s company.
She called him but he still didn’t pick.

She sent him a message again.

Letty: I long came here and I have been calling

you. I am staying at a lodge yet my husband is
here and has a house. If you don’t want me, why
don’t you say so?

Lawrence replied minutes later.

Lawrence: Feel free to file for divorce. I told you

not to come, since you are the man in this
marriage, make a plan for yourself or better yet
call Tefo, akere he’s your boyfriend.

Letty stared at the message and called him.

Lawrence picked after the third ring.

“Letty.”

“Why haven’t you been picking my calls? For

you to send me such a message.”

“I was doing other things, I don’t have to explain

myself to you. If you feel it’s not working,
divorce me.”

“You are the one that said we could work on

things.”
“That didn’t mean I was saying I would give you
the following day. It’s only been a month. You
are putting me under pressure yet you had a
man fuck you in all ways he could.”

“Law baby you are not giving me a chance to

even prove to you that I –“

“I told you I needed space! You call me everyday

wanting to talk to me like nothing happened.”

“So what am I supposed to do?”

“Give me space. I have to process what

happened.”

“Ok, so how much time do you need?”

“I don’t know. Maybe a year.”

“A year?”

“Yes or more. If you can’t wait then go and start

with the divorce. I’d be happy to comply.”

Tears filled her eyes. “Can we talk face to face?”

“No. I don’t want to see you.”

“You are saying you need space then say you’d

be happy to comply with a divorce, what does
that mean? I love you, I want to fix things.”
“Then give me space.”

“Does it have to be a year?”

“Yes I need space.”

She sniffed then walked back to her. He hung

up. She got in her car and put her head on the
steering wheel crying. She thought of how Tefo
had just used her and dropped her like a used
condom.

She tried calling him but his phone didn’t go

through. She cried even more.

***
Refa looked at Tefo as he drove. He seemed
distracted by something. He parked his car at
the house he always brought her to.

“I have to go. Wait for me here.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Can you just do as I say?”

She looked at him and nodded. “Ok but I have a

client that I have to deliver shoes to. Shouldn’t I
just go home and we can meet when you are
done? I will take a cab. Or I will come back here
after I deliver.”

“Can’t she come here?”

“I already agreed to Airport Junction.” Refa
kissed him. “Sort out what you need to sort out.
You will find me here later.”

She stepped out of the car and walked to the

door. Tefo sped off.

***

Momo watched as Bokani out her bag in the

boot then kissed her.

“Let’s go.”

She smiled and got in the car with him. He

drove off.
“You told the manger you’d be back after a
week akere?”

“Yes. I’m still in shock. Koore kea nyalwa hela

go serious.”

Bokani kissed her quickly and looked at the

road.

“Yes.”

“I love your family. Especially your mom.”

“She loves you too.”

Momo looked at him then at her ring. It still felt
surreal to be married. She took her phone and
took a video of him driving. She posted him on
Facebook.

‘Hubby in the building!’

Comments started coming through. She smiled

reading through. She paused at a comment.

Comment: Does he know the entire Gaborone

knows your p*ssy? The way you used to sleep
with every donkey I am surprised you got
married. Anyways he will find out on his own 😂
She quickly deleted the comment while her
heart raced. Bokani looked at her noticing the
frown on her face.
“Are you ok?”

She smiled. “Yeah, just a troll trying to ruin my

mood.”

“Delete and block. Don’t engage in social media

fights.”

“I know, they always do this because no one

thought I’d ever make it. Baby don’t forgot to
pass by Airport Junction to collect my shoes
from the lady who sells clothes.”

Bokani took her hand and kissed it driving to

Airport Junction.
Momo called her minutes later as they
approached the mall.

“Hello?”

“Hi, I am about to arrive, which side are you at?”

“By KFC.”

“Ok, I will be there in a minute.”

At Airport Junction, Momo stepped out of

Bokani’s car and walked over to Refa’s double
cab. Refa got out holding the box of shoes.
“Hi.”

Momo smiled. “This car looks good on you.”

Refa laughed. “Thank you. I feel like the

president driving it.”

“Where did you get such a man?”

“Its all luck. I didn’t think he’d her it. When he

said it I had doubts but ene mma he’s true to
his word.”

“Tell that man to marry you.”

“He lost his wife a year ago. I don’t expect
marriage. He’s just trying to heal. After healing
he might not even want me.”

“He lost his wife?”

“Yes, during labor. Ene mma he could be a

husband but he’s … complicated. And too strict.
I understand that because I guess it comes with
running a a big company but ah… it’s just
complicated.”

“He sounds familiar. Is he… Tefo Trans?”

Refa laughed. “I should stop talking.”

Momo smiled. “Its him. Wow! So you two…?

How long have you been together?”

“A month.”

“Wow, kana Tefo is my ex. We dated before all

the money came. By then he was working at the
filling station. He’s a good man. He’s a lover, I
have had stories about him on social media and
I know that’s not him. Tefo is lover, when he
loves, he loves with his all. Once you get him
there, you are sorted for life.”

Refa smiled. “Thanks for the tip. I have to get

going.”

“Ok.”
Refa jumped back in her car as Momo walked
back to her husband’s car.

***

At the doctor’s office, the doctor walked back in

her office and looked at Tefo who was holding
his daughter.

“The results are back.”

“And? Is she positive?”

She handed Tefo the paper. He swallowed

reading through the results.

Tefo looked at the doctor with relief. The doctor

smiled.

“Little Ms Angie is fine. She is very healthy. I

examined her and there’s no sign of her being
molested as far as I can see.”

“Ok. Thanks.”
“You are welcome.”

Tefo carried his daughter to the car then picked

Tumo’s call.

“Yeah?”

“And?”

“She’s negative.”

“I told you it’s Lawrence messing with you. After

you slept with his wife-“

“I said it wasn’t me.”

“Natefo you can’t lie to me. That arm belongs to
you.”

“When did you start being an expert of arms?”

“Carry on denying it but it’s probably him

messing with you. And he got you where he
wanted you. There’s no way Osa’s parents
would something like that happen to Angie.”

Tefo sighed. “I know, I just had to make sure.”

“O kae Refa?”

“She is around.”
“I like her for you. She seems smart too. My
wife says she makes you look good.”

Tefo chuckled. “She is fine.”

“She’d make a good girlfriend.”

“I am not there yet.”

“I know, I am just saying. Gape be careful, they

will take her if you are not serious.”

“Let them try it. Can you talk to bo malome, I

don’t want this Rachel woman. She came to my
house earlier on with Osa’s mother and
apparently left saying she saw a ghost. I don’t
want to be disrespectful but that family is
getting on my nerves.”

“Ok. Gape she’s not that pretty.”

“Even if she were. There’s no way Osa would

want that.”

“I will talk to them.”

“Sure.”

Tefo hung up and looked at his daughter as

spoke gibberish then drove off calling Refa.

“Hey..”
“I am on my way. I have Angie with.”

“Its ok. I bought groceries for the house. I am

cooking.”

“Ok.”

He hung up and texted his friend.

***

Rragwe Osa stared at his wife as she narrated

what had happened earlier on.

“Ke swabile gore! I long told you to stop

pressuring Tefo. Today look, and your sister
was part of it. Rachel wouldn’t know how to
care for my grandchild. Every time she talks it’s
about Tefo, nothing about his daughter. I don’t
know how you would want such a woman
around her.”

“Rachel was raised well-“

“That is nothing. You saw how quickly she said

yes to being with Tefo. A normal person would
have refused at first. The fact that she was so
quick to agree told me she had been eyeing
him.”

“Mogatsaka-“

“And today she just embarrassed me. She

called my daughter a ghost.”
“Do you really think she –“

“And I hope she really saw the ghost. Osa

should haunt her in her dreams!”

“Mmagwe Osa-“

“Every time she thinks of rragwe Angela she

should see Osa’s ghost. It’s obviously a sign
that Osa doesn’t want that woman in her
house.”

Mmagwe Osa continued talking angrily as she

folded her clothes while her husband silently
listened. He knew better than to talk when she
was that pissed.
“Osa should have strangled her, pulled out that
hair, nxla! My daughter was very beautiful then
you try to marry her husband to an ugly girl?
Being light in complexion doesn’t make one
beautiful. Motho o maswe! Le ntena mogo
maswe. The David’s are going to be so
disappointed.”

***

Refa walked outside to throw out the trash just

as the man who lived next door drove in his
yard. He stepped out of his car looking at Refa
and smiled.

“Hey!”

Refa looked over and smiled politely.

“Dumelang.”

“Are you the new neighbor?”

Refa laughed. “No. Just a visitor.”

“Thamma move here so I can have a pretty

neighbor.”

“Ija!”

“I am serious, or what? O jola le mothaka wa ntu?

(Are you dating the owner of this house?)”

“No.”
“Sister?”

“Just a friend.”

“Just a friend?”

Refa smiled. “Yes.”

The neighbor chuckled. “Waaka, la jola. If not

prove it!”

Refa threw the trash laughing. “I don’t have to

prove anything to you.”

“I am Douglas by the way, you can call me

Doug.”
Refa walked back to the house. “Bye Doug!”

He smiled. “Thamma ema pele… you are very

beautiful. Not that I’m being corny but it’s been
a minute since I last saw someone who’s
naturally beautiful. No make up, no hair… just
you.”

“Thanks.”

“What’s your name?”

“Bye-“

“Aoow mma, wait… what’s your name? I really

want to know. Just your name and I will stop
talking. I promise.”

“Bye!”

She walked in the house and closed the door.

Doug bit his lower lip intrigued. He waited to
see if she’d walk out but instead music started
playing from the house.

He rubbed his head then turned as a car parked

at the gate. Doug watched as his neighbor
drove in the yard.

He stepped out and looked over.

“Sure!”
Doug smiled. “Eita ntwana!”

“What’s up?”

“Nothing, good to see you.”

“Yeah you too.”

Doug walked inside the house, his mind still

stuck on that lady. From her smile to her voice
then her face. He laughed at himself. He could
probably try and get the woman but that man
had more money than him. He made thousands
every single day and women loved a man with
more money but damn…

***
Tefo walked inside the house and watched as
Refa sang Burna boy’s song in the kitchen while
dancing as the speakers pumped the music.

Feeling watched, Refa turned and smiled

immediately. Tefo walked over as she stopped
the music.

He picked her up kissing her. She wrapped her

legs around him. He placed her on the kitchen
counters.

“Hi..”

She blushed. “Hey, I am almost done.”

“I am meeting up with a friend. I will eat that
food when I come back.”

Refa cupped his face. “I am cooking for you. Ke

kopa oje. By the way I was thinking maybe I
should my own preschool. To be honest when
this thing ends, I want to have something to
show for it. Gape it will allow me to be flexible
for you. I was browsing on Facebook today and
I found someone who’s selling a preschool.”

She unlocked her phone and showed him the

screenshot of the premises.

“It has 3 classrooms, a small hall and 2 offices.

She’s selling for 750k. She’s desperate.
Preschools make a lot of money.”
Tefo looked at her. “Can we discuss this
another time? And don’t you sell clothes? Why
can’t-“

“Get me the preschool or we end things and you

can find another candidate. It’s your choice.”

“I give you 20k monthly, maybe you should –“

“I said get me the preschool or we forget about

this..I am not forcing you to do anything Tefo.
It’s your choice.”

“Are you giving me an ultimatum?”

“Just my condition to this.”

“I want a baby. Give me a baby and I get the
preschool. That’s it.”

“A preschool and shares for the baby at Tefo

Trans.”

“What?”

“A baby is a risk Tefo..I don’t have a child and I

don’t doubt you will be a present parent but
what if I die? The preschool and the shares into
your company in case anything ever happens to
you then the baby won’t suffer. Even it’s10% it’s
ok. I need it so I know that this baby will always
be taken care of. And the 20k monthly.”

He stared at her.

Tefo stared at her. Refa maintained a serious

face. There was no way she was going to let
this man do as he please with her body and get
nothing out of it. She had to gain something
from the whole situation and she wasn’t
backing up.

All the things he did to her body was worth her

getting something tangible in return. And if he
called it quits it was still fine, she would walk
away with a car still. And 20k..

“You know I can easily get someone who I can

give way less than I am giving you right?”

“Go and get them. I am going.”

She hopped off the counter. “Ebile the guy next

door was greeting me earlier on.”

He grabbed her hand. “He was what?”

“He said I am pretty. He seems like a stable guy,

someone one would marry.”
“And what the fuvk is that supposed to mean
Arefa? O seka wa ntester!”

“I am leaving you. I am ending this sex

relationship because I am not satisfied with
what I am getting in return Natefo!”

“You talk to that guy again and I swear to you, I

will end up in jail cell. Don’t try me. What the
fuvk where you even talking to him for? Ke ta go
takanya le guy wa gago wa nkutwa kareng?!”

Refa looked at him. Maybe the neighbor angle

wasn’t such a bright idea. Ok Refa… Re-Center..

She blinked. “I am lying. I am sorry, but I am

going.”
“Ke ta thuba ka klapa! What were you looking
for outside?”

She hugged him standing on her toes and kept

quiet.

“What else did he say?”

“Nothing. Stop screaming, you are scaring the

baby.

“What baby?!”

“The one you already put inside me daddy. Let

me dish for you.”

She moved then smiled innocently. “After you

eat we will shower so I can give you your other
meal before o ya clubong.”

Tefo glared at her but she blinked innocently.

His face slowly softened. She took her phone
and called a number.

“Hello?”

“Hi, we spoke earlier on about the preschool.

My man is here, he wants to talk to you.”

Refa cleared her voice. “Rragwe Angie le Nate,

talk to the lady.”

She handed him the phone. Tefo stared at her.

She put the phone on loud speaker.
“He is listening.”

“Oh, uh good evening. My name is Tshidi

Semong. I had spoken to your uh girlfriend
earlier on. I am selling the preschool as I am
relocating. It’s going for 750k from 850k.” The
lady went into detail while Tefo listened. Refa
gave him the phone and dished. Tefo took the
phone and walked outside. Refa took a deep
breath and waited patiently.

Minutes later he got back in the house. She put

his plate in front of him.

“Here is your food daddy.”

“What else did you discuss with the neighbor?

Wa go nyela, o go buisa eng?”

“Rragwe Angie –“

“Do you know him from anywhere?”

“No-“

“So what were you talking to him about?”

She picked the fork. “I will feed you.”

“Refa wee?!”

She looked at him and softly responded. “Rra?”

“I am going to bath.”

He walked away leaving her phone on the

kitchen counter. She breathed out then picked
her phone and called the lady of the preschool.

“Hello?”

“Hi, what did he say?”

Lone laughed. “He is coming to see the place.

He said I should have the necessary documents
ready. He’s buying.”

Refa screamed happily. “Really?”

“Yes. I have to go but the school is yours.”

Lone hung up. Refa jumped happily. She paused
then walked to the bedroom undressing. She
walked inside the shower and touched his back
then hugged him.

“I didn’t discuss anything with him.” She went in

front of him and cupped his face looking in his
eyes. “I walked outside to throw out the trash as
he drove in his yard. He greeted me and asked if
I were your girlfriend. I said I was just a friend
walking back to the house. He said his name
was Douglas and asked for my name. I didn’t
tell him, I just walked inside the house. You can
go and ask him. That’s all. And I know you will
never slap me. You can punish in the best way
you can but I know you would never put your
hands on me. I am sorry for bringing this up.”
“You won’t get the shares till the baby is here.”

“What if you die?”

“And you would have killed me?”

She laughed. “Tefo I am serious…”

“You asking for a lot. 10%-“

“Is for your child, not me. I don’t want it.. The
preschool is enough..”

“Get pregnant first then.”

“Ok. But I want it written down saying once I get

pregnant, you give the shares.”

He kissed her squeezing her breast. Refa

relaxed, she’d let him do anything… especially
after the preschool. She could already see
herself running a preschool.

He kissed her neck, Refa closer her eyes

touching him. Tefo picked her up and held her
against the wall.

Tefo ran the tip over her p*ssy lips, her wetness
getting him even harder. He pushed between
her p*ssy lips going through her flaps and
pressed at her little hole.

He pushed himself Inside stretching her open

sliding through her swollen meat.
He grunted at the feeling of being inside her.
“Ahh fuvk!”

Refa closed her eyes moaning softly in his ear.

He went deeper. Refa sank her teeth on his
neck feeling every vein of that dic. He started
thrusting through, deeper and harder. She
fucked her for minutes as she tried to just take
it, after all she had gotten a car, 20k and now a
preschool and the shares but damn! This man
was trying to kill her.

She could hardly breathe as he pounded into

her without any car. That dic seemed to be
going deeper with each thrust.

“Tefo! Fuck! Fuvk! Fuvk!”

She unhooked her leg trying to get down. Tefo
let go of one leg and kept the other up drilling
that p*ssy.

“Awww…baby… ahhh!”

Her heart pounded as he fucked her in that

position.

“I am cramping! Baby wait… ahhh!”

Tefo let go of her leg and curved his back

He grunted enjoying himself. “Shit!”

Her p*ssy swelled even more but then that
pleasure came through and it felt so good.

She stood on her toes but he still managed to

fill up that p*ssy whenever he slid in.

She looked at him then looked at his dic

moaning in pleasure as it slowly traveled
throughout her body.

She watched it then looked up at him. He kissed

her thrusting through over and over. The
pleasure doubled that she moved her face
rolling her eyes. Her body vibrated as she
spasmed convulsing releasing .

Tefo thrust through moaning and grunting.

“Ahh fuvk! She’s good! Shiiit!”

He went deeper as he dick jerked releasing his

thick warm seeds inside her. He kissed her
neck pumping it all inside her.

Tefo walked out of the house a while later

looking at his watch. He turned as the neighbor
stood outside smoking near the fence. He
smiled, Tefo glared.

“Next time you talk to my girl I will make you

chock on that cigarette..”
Doug coughed. “Nyaa I was just greeting. I
meant not harm laitaka –“

“O ta swaba o marete!”

Tefo got in his car and drove off.

Let's have 10k+likes and 700+comments for

Refa slowly soaked her body in the bathtub that

evening and took a deep breath. She reached
her phone and tracked her bale that was
coming from Tanzania. She smiled knowing she
was about to make more than 8k from it. She’d
order another one the following week.

She bit her lower lip opening her Facebook

business page. Maybe she could open a little
shop. Selling from the boot was going to be
time consuming. She searched for shops to
rent and paused at one that was at bus rank
going for 7.8 per month. It was small but it
could be a start. She saved the number, she’d
call tomorrow.

Refa smiled, all she had needed was this man

with money. She wasn’t going to relax too much.
Such things tended to end badly. She had to
make it worth it.

Next was preschool equipment. Refa sighed,

after paying the 750k there was no way he’d
give her more money to buy equipment.

She opened her calculator and added estimates

of the costs. She breathed out looking at the
amount of money needed. Or maybe she could
ask for a loan from Tefo. She’d pay the money
back once she had students.

Then she needed branding. She opened her

notepad in the phone writing down everything
she needed. She looked at the estimated figure
and took a deep breath. Just looking at the
money needed discouraged her a little bit.
Obviously she couldn’t do everything at once.
She’d had to pause with boutique first and put
all funds into the preschool. It still wouldn’t be
enough.

She more she thought of everything she needed

to get the business off the ground, the more the
costs went up.

Her phone rang in her hands then she picked

sitting upright.

“Papa..”

“Refa, how are you?”

“I am fine, you?”
“Your sister left today. She said she was going
to go and look for a job. I took my grandchild
because I don’t want her to suffer.”

“You should have let her take her belongings.

Who’s she leaving her burden with?”

“This child is my grandchild. Your mother would

have never allowed her to take this baby with.”

“I just hate that this will make her think she can
always get pregnant. Instead of trying to think
of better ways to improve her life she is thinking
of getting pregnant.”

“Mistakes happen so we learn from them. How

is your job?”
“I was thinking of quitting so I can start my own.
I found a place and an investor who will get the
place for me but I was adding all the costs and
it’s going to be more expensive. I don’t know if I
will even make it.”

“You will make it. Everything you ever touched

has always turned into a success. Don’t doubt
yourself. In order to make money, you need to
spend money. Take it step by step. You have an
investor so at least you have the space. Now
you get what’s most needed. The rest you get
when the business is off the ground. I used to
work for a white man back in the day and he
always told me, don’t let your fears hinder you
from reaching the sky. Just do it.”

Refa smiled. “Ok.”

“That’s my girl. I hear your boyfriend bought you
a car. Be careful my girl.”

“I know.”

“Good. Ok, bye.”

Refa smiled as her father hung up. She pressed

her lips together feeling a bit motivated and
continued planning.

***

At the bar, Kitso sipped his beer talking to Tefo.

“At least you are a what? Millionaire now.
Sometimes I wonder if moving to Germany was
really a good idea.”

“It was. Just because it flopped doesn’t mean it

wasn’t. I spoke to someone and they are going
to hire you. Don’t worry.”

Kitso nodded. “Thanks. How are you doing

since losing your wife?”

Tefo gulped down his beer. “I never knew she

would be one of the people I lose. I loved her.”

“Hardy laitaka.”

“Yeah but-“
“Uncle T..”

Tefo turned and looked at Osa’s daughter.

“Lewa..”

Lewa smiled wearing a short dress. She hugged

him.

Kitso looked at the young lady. Tefo smiled.

“Aren’t you supposed to be at school?”

Lewa laughed. “The semester ended. I am here

on holiday. I am taking a break from the States.”
Tefo looked at Kitso. “This is Osa’s daughter.
Lewa this is my friend, Kitso.”

Lewa smiled and waved. She turned her

attention back to Tefo smiling.

“Maybe I can come and see Angie while I’m

here.*

“Yeah sure.”

She smiled and hugged him getting closer. Tefo

moved back then she smiled.

She lowered her voice smiling. “Sorry. Getting

too close? Mama was so lucky. If she could see
you now… you look so handsome.”
“Lewa!”

She giggled. “I am just being honest. I am not a

baby anymore by the way.”

“Lewatle!”

She raised her hands surrendering. “Ok. Bye.”

Lewa walked to her friends. Kitso looked at

Tefo.

“She is so hot!”

“She is a child!”
“Who wants you.”

“She is Osa’s child.”

“So? I am sorry but she’s beautiful. More than

her mom. As much as it’s wrong, tell me you
have never thought of it. Even once …”

“I am not thinking of fucking my daughter’s

sister.”

Lewa turned looking at Tefo but caught Kitso

staring instead. Lewa winked. Kitso shifted his
eyes before Tefo could notice.

Kitso sighed. “I am going to bathroom. I am

coming.”

Kitso hurried off the bathroom. He walked

inside the cubicle then turned as someone else
walked in. Lewa smiled.

“Hi..”

Kitso smiled. “Hi.”

“I know I am going to sound weird –“

“You have a crush on your step father?”

Lewa smiled. “Yes. I am going to be honest and

admit it. I know he’s been single since mama
and he deserves to be happy. I moved to get
away from him but I can’t seem to move on
past him.”

Kitso smiled. “I can help you get him.”

“Really?”

“Yeah… if I get something out of it.”

Lewa smiled. “What? I will do it.”

“I want you. Then you will have him.”

Lewa looked at him. “Won’t he find out?”

“No. No one will tell him right?”

Lewa shook her head. Kitso pulled her closer
and #removed.

Meanwhile Tefo scrolled on his Facebook and

stopped at Refa’s post of her white toe nails
from ten minutes ago with a caption saying
‘These feet belong on a broad chest, pity I am
alone’.

He opened the comments and read a few

sexual ones from a few guys. She didn’t reply to
those except for the comments from her
female friends.

He looked around wondering what was taking

Kitso long. A lady walked over to him and
smiled.

“Hi, need company?”

“No I am good.”

Kitso walked over and sat down. Tefo got up

looking at the lady.

“This one though does. Keep him company. I

have to go. I will talk to you tomorrow.”

“What’s going on?”

“We will talk.”

He walked out and jumped in his car then drove
off.

Tefo walked inside the apartment and walked to

the bedroom that evening. Refa looked at him
under the duvet while holding her phone.

She silently watched him as he undressed and

joined her taking her phone. He put it away
pulling her closer. She took a deep breath
thinking of her aching p*ssy.

He didn’t say anything but rather pulled her

closer and putting his arm over her. She relaxed
her body as he put a bit of that heavy weight on
her though she didn’t mind.

“Tefo-“

“Sleep.”

She closed her mouth then closed her eyes.

SIX MONTHS LATER…

#126

Six Months Later…

Momo sat in her husband’s office while they

waited for the pregnancy test results. Bokani
looked at her scared face and reached for her
hand.

“Even if you are not pregnant, we will try again.

There’s no rush this. We are both healthy and
fertile. It will happen when it’s time.”

Momo blinked. “I just want a baby.”

“I know. But see how this whole thing is

stressing you? I don’t want it to be like that. I
don’t want to have sex that feels like a chore.”

Bokani picked the pregnancy test and looked at

it. She picked the other one. Momo’s heart
pounded.

“What does it say?”

He threw them in the bin. “Not yet.”

Momo took a deep breath nodding

disappointed.

“Ok. I guess my period is just late for other

reasons. Let me get to work.”
She stood up. Bokani got up pulling her in his
arms.

“I love you. I love you so much. Baby or no

baby.”

She tearfully looked at him. “People keep asking

me when I am having kids. I also want to have
kids. I love your kids but I want one that I carry
in my stomach.”

“I know. And we will have him or her when the

time is right. Let’s do us and forget everyone
else.”

He rubbed a tear that had fallen her cheek then

kissed.
“I will pick you up for lunch.”

She nodded then walked out of his office. She

got in her as her phone rang.

“Bonolo.”

“Hi, so Gavin and I are fixing things. Things are

looking great.”

“I am happy for you.”

“I was so scared thinking I had lost him. I was

expecting a divorce. No need to come back
then.”

“Ok.”
“Uhu… why does it sound like you don’t want to
talk to me?”

“Because our conversations are fruitless

Bonolo. First you ask me to go to the police and
tell them it was me who came up with the idea
of hurting Tefo, even tell me to convince Tefo
that he should agree with that statement so you
can save yourself, you are very selfish and self
centered. You say it’s you being smart but you
are just evil. You are an evil person who likes
using people to get what you want. That’s
always been your character just that I was
blinded with the fact that I thought of you as a
sister. I should have known what a snake you
are when you decided to go after Tefo to a point
of getting pregnant. I was so happy when your
little shit died. Then from there you expect
everyone to just be fine. Koore it’s always
about you.”

“Momo what’s happening –“

“I am telling you what’s happening. I am tired of

you. I am tired.”

“Ahh mma, I thought I apologized for everything.

I even apologized for that suggestion didn’t I? I
was wrong to even think about it. I am sorry
Momo. What’s wrong?”

Tears filled Momo’s eyes. “I am not pregnant.”

“Momo… for other people getting pregnant is

hard but it eventually happens. Don’t lose hope.
Gape you have a great husband. Stop putting
yourself under pressure. You will have a baby I
know and you are going to be a great mom.”

“I feel everyone is getting pregnant except for

me.”

“Who is getting pregnant?”

“Did you know that Tefo’s new girlfriend is

already pregnant?”

“The one who opened the preschool?”

“Yes.”

“Forget bo Tefo. He’s too fertile. He’s the same

person who once impregnated Osa and I at the
same time. Your pregnancy will happen on its
own time. Just relax. Take your mind off things
and just love your man. Give him the attention
he deserves without baby talk. Anyway I wonder
if that girl knows just how Tefo loves
threesomes. Waitse I was looking at her
preschool and it’s so successful with the rich
people’s kids.”

“Of cause she’d get the rich people’s kids, akere

Tefo knows those people. I have to go. I am
happy for you.”

“Thanks. I will call you.”

“Sharp.”

Momo started her car and drove off with a sigh.

***

Tefo wrapped up a call just as his a walked in

his office.

“The share holders have arrived.”

“Everyone else?”

“They are going to boardroom.”

He nodded then got up and calling Refa.

“Hi.”
“Hey, where are you?”

“I am here.”

“Ok.”

Tefo walked to the boardroom with his PA.

***

Refa parked her car at Tefo Trans and stepped

out of the car. She walked inside the building
and smiled at the receptionist.

“Hi, I am Arefa.”
“Good morning, Mr David said I take you to the
boardroom.”

“You can just direct me.”

“The second floor. Go down the passage you

will see it.”

“Thank you.”

Refa walked to the elevator pulling down her

dress. She got inside just as another employer
hurried in before the elevator doors could close.

Refa turned locking eyes with Amara who

smiled.
“Oh… hi!”

Refa smiled back. “Hi.”

Amara looked at Refa’s bump raising an

eyebrow then chuckled. “Wow, you are
pregnant?!”

“Yes.”

Amara laughed. “You don’t waste time.”

“O raya yang? (What do you mean?)”

“I don’t mean it the wrong way but it’s not

everyday a woman gets impregnated by a guy
she just met. More so a widower.”
The elevator doors opened as Refa laughed.
“You better have this conversation with the one
that put the baby inside.”

“Congratulations! I even saw you have a

preschool. I have maintained that in life, it’s
important to know the rightful people. Anyways
Tefo is in a meeting. I am going there. Had you
spoken to his PA?”

“Don’t worry about me.”

Tefo’s PA walked over as Amara went to the

boardroom.

“Why does pregnancy look so good on you

nemma”
Refa laughed. “Mma, I am about to get into the
last trimester, that’s where I heard things take a
left turn.”

They both laughed. They both walked to the

boardroom and walked in. Tefo turned looking
at her. Refa took a deep as her body reacted to
that gaze. Tefo stood up and walked over
taking her hand then pulled the chair on his
right for her while everyone watched.

Refa smiled sitting. “Thanks.”

Tefo looked at everyone else. “Ladies

gentlemen, this is Ms Arefa Owetsi is our new
shareholder and she will be joining us for this
meeting and more meetings in the future.”
Refa smiled. Tefo sat down and held her hand
under the table. She smiled looking at him as he
started the meeting.

Over an hour later, he wrapped it up. Everyone

got up and walked out. One of the shareholders
walked over to Refa as she stood up.

“I thought he was about to say Mrs David earlier

on.”

Refa laughed. “No I am not.”

Tefo put his hand on her back. “Bame tsamaya,

meeting o hedile.”
Bame laughed. “Mrs David o monte gore.”

The other shareholder smiled. “I know right?

Ene o monte.”

“Banna, tsamayang!”

The men laughed walking out. Tefo took her

hand and led her to his office. Refa smiled.

“They are your friends?”

“Sort of. Are you ok?”

She nodded taking off the heels then she got

closer and pulled him down for kiss with his tie.
“Tefo you know I was thinking that… instead
of..” She paused as he stared at her waiting for
it.

She smiled. “What? Why are you looking at me

like that?”

“What you are about to say involves money right?

I already know.”

She laughed. “Tefo you make it sound like I am

just spending your money for no particular
reason.”

“O bata madi a eng?”

She smiled. “I don’t want money. My aunt spoke
to me days ago about helping me when I give
birth. Instead of hiring a nanny to help me, I can
go to her. It will only be for two months. I will be
back in Gaborone in two months. I know Maun
is far but I think-“

“That’s not happening. That’s not what we

agreed on.”

“Tefo a nanny wouldn’t take care of me the way

my mother’s sister would. She’s experienced
with this.”

“I said no.”

She took a deep breath. “Culturally you know I

should –“
“How many times an I supposed to repeat no?”

“You are not listening to daddy. Listen-“

“Tell your aunt to come because you are not

going anywhere.”

“I am going to get your food. Sit down.”

He walked out. Refa took a deep breath then

took out her phone and called her aunt.

“Refa..”

“Aunty, uh rragwe Angie and I discussed me

coming there and we think it’s just best I am
close enough for him to see the baby whenever
he can.”

“Uhu, does he know how we do things culturally?

This is your first child and you need to come
back home. But I am sure this will be discussed
this weekend when he comes to pay the
damages for impregnating you.”

“Aunty Tefo o bodipa. He’s very stubborn and

he won’t agree to it.”

“Tefo didn’t marry you. You are not his wife. You
are our child and we will do things the way we
have always done them. You are going to come
home two weeks before giving birth and you will
go back to Gaborone after 6 months. In those 6
months he’s not allowed to see you or the baby.
If things are not done like that, the baby will die.
You know that. It’s how we do things in our
family. That’s what happened with you when
you were born. If your mother were here she’d
tell you. You need to leave Gaborone tendencies
behind Arefa if you want your baby to survive. I
hope you are not sleeping with him. You do not
want to miscarry.”

Refa took a deep breath listening.

Tefo walked back in the office holding food.

Refa took a deep breath going over words in her
head.

She looked at him as her heart pounded.

“Tefo…”

“Come and sit down.”

She walked over to the couch in his office and

sat down. Refa looked at him. Maybe she didn’t
need to tell him about the 6 months. There was
no way he’d agree to that ever.
He started feeding her. She chewed fiddling
with her fingers then swallowed.

She silently ate till she was done then he

handed her a bottle of juice.

“Gorileng?”

She took a deep breath. “What’s the point if you

won’t listen to me?”

“I am not allowing you to go with my child to

Maun. You can go, you will leave the baby
behind. I took care of Angela on my own. I can
do it with this one too. You are not taking my
baby anywhere.”
“That is not fair Tefo. I never dispute anything
you say and-“

“I am not arguing with you over this. I am paying

damages so that I have the rights to my baby.”

“What if something happens to the baby while I

am here? According to-“

“I said no.”

She looked at him and kept quiet. Someone

knocked on his door. Tefo walked to his desk.

“We are done.”

Refa looked at him and slowly got up with her
bag and slipped her feet into the heels just as
Tefo’s PA walked inside the office with a
woman. Refa looked at the beautiful lady
wearing a white bodycon dress and white long
heels. Tefo’s attention shifted to her.

The lady smiled shaking Tefo’s hand. “Mr David,

I am Marang Tuduetso from Debswana.”

She looked at her swollen feet feeling

conscious of her appearance then hurried out
of the building. She got in her car taking a deep
breath trying to brush off that jealous feeling.
She had to keep reminding herself that there
was no future with him. Her baby moved kicking.
Refa rubbed her belly, she had gotten the
preschool and the shares, what more could she
want. The baby was just part of a business deal.
She had to focus on her businesses.

She connected get phone to the bluetooth and

drove off calling a number.

“Hi, we spoke yesterday about the quantum. I’d

like to come and see it with my mechanic.”

“Eemma, that’s ok. Today?”

“Yes.”

“Ok. It’s at home so when you are coming you

will just call me.”

“Ok.”
She hung up headed to her boutique.

***

Later that day, Amara walked with a document

to Tefo’s office. She knocked then walked in.
Tefo looked at her. Amara walked further in his
office.

“I have brought the report.”

“You could have emailed it.”

“I know… but I wanted to talk to you.”

He stared at her. She cleared her throat.

“My probation contract is coming to an end next

week. HR hasn’t said anything about renewing
it.”

“So?”

“I just wanted to make sure no one has

forgotten.”

“That is an HR conversation. You don’t discuss

such things with me.”

She blinked and nodded. “I have been working

very hard. I believe the results I have since
produced speak for themselves.”
“I said discuss that with HR. You can go.”

She walked to the door then walked back.

“Tefo I hope you don’t think you will just leave

me unemployed. If that was your plan then I
want you to know that I am well prepared for it.
I have my lawyer on standby.”

“Good.”

She swallowed. “What does that mean?”

Tefo looked at her. “I have nothing to lose, we

may even drag it till you are penniless. I won’t
feel a dent in my pocket. I have a lawyer hired in
this company wio deals with such situations.
You will keep paying your lawyer till you have
run out of money. I am ten steps ahead of you.
You can leave my office. I hope you enjoy
having the bank repossess your car.”

She angrily looked at him. “You are evil.”

“I said leave my office. Keep insulting me and

we won’t even wait for your contract to end.”

She stared at him then walked out calling her

lawyer.

Amara walked in her office talking on her phone.

“He is so predictable. I knew he would do this.”

“Don’t stress about it, we prepared for this.”

Amara took a deep breath. “I am scared. Tefo

has enough money to drag this. By then I will be
left with nothing. Maybe I really didn’t think
things through.”
“He’s putting the doubt on you. Don’t listen to
him.”

Amara took a deep breath. Her office phone

rang.

“I will call you back.”

She hung up and picked her office phone.

“Hello?”

“Hi, HR, can you please make your way to my

office now.”
Amara’s heart skipped. She slowly walked to
the HR’s office and went inside.

HR looked at her. “Hi, take a seat.”

Amara slowly sat down. “Everything ok?”

“No. I was about to hand you your contract then

received a call from Mr David about you
insulting him in his office. Calling him evil.”

“I was just-“

“Mr David is the owner of this company.

Whether you once dated him or not, this is his
company. If you can’t respect the big boss
himself then I doubt we can work together.”
“Wait… I didn’t mean that. I was just…-“

“You crossed the line so now we will be

reviewing if you are someone we want to keep
in our company.”

Tears filled her eyes. “I called him evil after the

things he said to me.”

“I will schedule a meeting in a week.”

Tefo looked at her tearfully. “And the things he

said to me?”

“You can go to your office.”

Amara sniffed then stood up and walked out.
Tears blurred her sight as she walked. She
rubbed her eyes bumping into someone.

“I am sorry.. I am sorry!”

She raised her head looking at the COO. He

smiled.

“It’s ok, are you ok?”

Amara forced a smile. “Yes. I am sorry, I wasn’t

looking and…”

He looked at the tears in her eyes. “What’s

wrong?”
More tears filled her eyes. The COO pulled her
onto his office and handed her box of tissues.

Amara cried putting her hands on her face

ruining her makeup.

“What happened?”

She looked at him and narrated the entire story

crying.

“I thought I was well prepared but I didn’t think it

through.”

The COO sighed. “So you are Tefo’s ex?”

“Yes.. this is why he hired me, to make my life

miserable. I have always done my work, I have
done everything right.”

“Don’t cry. No one is firing you.. you will get your

contract and I will make sure of it.”

“Tefo said –“

“Tswa mogo Tefo. Go and do your job. Avoid

any interaction with him.”

He wiped away her tears with a tissue. “Go back

to your office and fix your makeup.”

She nodded breathing heavily then walked out

of his office.
***

At Tefo’s office, Tefo shook hands with a

foreign man then the man walked out. His
phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Good afternoon Mr. David, it’s Marang from

earlier on. I seem to have forgotten my tablet on
your desk. I have been searching for it and I am
only remembering now that I actually didn’t wall
out with it from your office.”

Tefo looked at the pink tablet. “It’s here. Are you

coming or should I drop it off because I am
knocking off.”
Marang laughed. “Uh having you drop it off is
unprofessional. I may get fired for that. I will
quickly come. You can leave it by the
reception.”

“Marang kare kea chaisa, I will drop it off. O

kae?”

Tefo parked his car at a gate of a townhouse.

Marang stepped out of her house moments
later as Tefo got out of the car. She quickly
walked over.

“I am really sorry for the inconvenience.”

He laughed. “What inconvenience?”

She looked at him and smiled. “Thank you.”

“I read all your emails.”

She paused then laughed. “It has a password.

Ija, you will give me a heart attack.”

Tefo laughed. “Be careful.”

“Yeah.. thank you Mr. David.”

“It’s Tefo outside the office.”

Marang smiled looking at him. “Thank you

Tefo.”

He handed her the tablet. Marang smiled.

“Thank you so much. I have been stressed the

last hour.”

He looked at her smile then his phone rang.

“Sharp.”

She waved at him smiling. He stared at her for a

moment captured by her beauty then walked
back to his car answering.

“Yeah?”
“Hi. Ke Refa.”

He looked at his phone. “Oh hey..”

“Can you pass by the apartment because you

go to your house.”

“Ok.”

***

Refa listened as the gate slid open minutes

later then he walked in.

She looked at him and took a deep breath.

“Hi.”

“I hope you didn’t call me here to try and argue

with me. I am not in the mood for that
nonsense, can you not annoy me. I am not in
the fuvking mood. I said no and that’s it!”

“I am not going to argue with you. Why do you

sound like that?”

“Like what?”

His phone rang. He picked turning.

“Hi.”
“It’s Marang, I know I should be talking to your
PA about this but… I’d like another meeting
tomorrow. For another pitch. I had a discussion
with my boss about the pointers you made.”

“I am flying out of city tomorrow. You won’t

catch me.”

“How’s tonight? Over a business dinner? I can

bring my boss-“

“Dinner is fine. You don’t have to bring anyone.”

“Ok, let me make a reservation.”

“Or I can pass by later. To avoid costs.”

Marang laughed. “Perfect. Thank you so so
much. You will be impressed with what we
worked on.”

“I love your confidence.”

Refa watched him talk on his phone. She took a

deep breath. Tefo turned to her hanging up.

“I have to go. What is it?”

She smiled. “Please don’t talk to me like you

spoke to me when you walked inside this house.
If you have found new interests outside, there’s
no need to make me feel the way you are trying
to make me feel. This is my house, you signed it
over to me so don’t disrespect me in my house.
I will talk to you tomorrow when we leave for
Maun. I hope you will not have that attitude with
my family. They are expecting someone who's
well mannered and respectful. If that's the
attitude you will be going with then I suggest
you don't bother at all. Bye."

“So you called me for nothing.”

Refa turned to the TV. “Close the door on your

way out.”

Tefo looked at her as she watched TV.

“What new interest are you talking about?”

“I said go.”

“I have a business meeting I am attending to.”

“What did I say?”

“You want to make it sound as if I-“

“You what? This is not a relationship so don’t

bother about me. I am just a baby carrier. Don’t
explain yourself. I don’t have a problem with
what you do on your own time but now that I
know then I also think we need to start using
protection. Getting STD’s and STI’s was not part
of the deal.”

“Ga ke jole le motho o, she’s a business

associate.”

Refa looked at him. “What are you talking

about?”

“You are making it sound like I am sleeping with

someone else. She’s a business associate.”

“I said you and I are not in a relationship so it

doesn’t matter.”
His phone rang. He looked at the caller then
looked at her but her attention had shifted back
to the TV.

“I will see you later.”

“I don’t feel like having company tonight. Go to

your house.”

His phone continued ringing. Tefo walked out

picking. Refa stared at the TV taking a deep
breath. She reached for her phone to call him
but there was no point. With the way he was
talking to her, she knew he was going to sleep
with her.

Her baby moved then she put her phone down

breathing out closing her eyes.

***

Amara walked inside her favorite coffee shop

after knocking off and stood in the long queue.
It never mattered what time it was, the shop
was always packed.

She looked at a couple with their kids in front of

her. The parents laughed chatting while the kids
laughed at something.

Just staring at them made her long for such

companionship. She couldn’t remember when
last she had a serious relationship.
She thought of her sister’s husband, she had
hurt him so much that he had moved. Of cause
she saw the child here and there but she knew
he had probably moved on.

Then Chris. That had ended before it could start.

From there, there a few more but they didn’t do
it for her.

She found herself thinking of Tefo. He had been

good to her those few months they were
together. He had even changed her mind on
love. Maybe had she known she had been in a
competition with Osa she would have done
better.

The queue moved then she walked lost in her

thoughts. Now he had found someone else and
she was even pregnant.
All the businesses she had Amara knew Tefo
had funded them. She took a deep breath. Her
phone rang making her snap out of it.

“Hello?”

“Amara, ke Mr. Mokgosi. I spoke to HR and your

contract will be renewed.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Look, I know we don’t know each other

but you taking this job was a mistake. I have
been doing my own research and your sister
killed his son. From there you went to police
accusing him of murdering your sister who
committed suicide. This job was a trap. I don’t
know how exactly his mind works but he is a
smart men and smart people are dangerous
because you never know what the next move is.
You might want to consider selling that car, get
something a little small and pay off the bank.
From there you start saving because Tefo
knows everyone. Everyone is either trying to get
in business with him or they already are. Getting
a job may be harder than you thought.”

Amara thought of her G-Wagon. “You want me

to sell my G-Wagon?”

“It’s a thought. Think about it. I have to go.”

He hung up. Amara breathed out. The thought

of selling her G-Wagon devastated her more
than anything.
***

Kitso slowly slid off Lewa who looked at him.

“You keep sleeping with me but I don’t see any

results. You long said you would talk to him.”

Kitso put on his suit. “I am talking to him but I

don’t want to put him under pressure. You need
to understand it’s not everyday that a step
father ends up with a step daughter.”

“I terminated my scholarship in USA because

you said Tefo was an easy target.”

“He is but I just need a angle that I can

approach him with.”

“I am tired of waiting. You keep fucking me like

there’s no tomorrow too. I don’t even know
what I am paying for because even when I go to
his house, I don’t even get to see him.”

Kitso fixed his pants. “Look, let me talk to him

tonight. Tomorrow morning he will call you.”

Lewa folded her arms. “I am not going to bath.

If he doesn’t call me I am going to the police
station and I a going to report you for rape.”

“You-“

“If I don’t have Tefo calling me by tomorrow

then trust me, you are going to jail for rape. You
will regret ever coming back here.”

Lewa dressed up and walked out picking her

brother’s call.

***

Later that evening, Marang sipped her wine as

Tefo looked through her laptop.

“These are good. Send a summery email

tomorrow to my office so I can properly
respond.”

Marang smiled putting down her glass. “I really

need this deal to come through. It’s a
determining factor for my career. Having you on
board is a game changer, for the company too.”

“Send that email tomorrow. I love that you did a

thorough research.”

He got up. “We will discuss everything else

during normal working hours.”

“Ok.”

“Sharp akere?”

Marang smiled and nodded. Tefo walked out

while she followed behind him. He stepped out
then turned.
Marang tried to hold herself but she went closer
and kissed him.

She moved back. “Sorry.”

His phone rang before could respond then took

it out and looked at Refa calling. He swallowed
then turned picking.

“Hey.”

She calmly spoke. “Hi, sorry to disturb you. I just

wanted to remind you of the doctor’s
appointment. That’s all. Bye.”

She hung up. He stared at his phone feeling

guilty. Marang looked at him.
“Everything ok?”

“Yeah, we will discuss a way forward for the

deal tomorrow. Bye.”

He walked to his car. Marang blinked confused.

Tefo drove off calling Refa back.

“I am sleeping.”

“I am on my way home, should I bring you

anything.”

“I told you not to come.”

“I am sorry for earlier on. Can I bring you
flowers. And I am not cheating.”

“How can you cheat when we are not together?”

“Mme nna I am not cheating ebile I am coming

home. Should I bring you anything?”

“You want to bring me diseases akere?”

“I am not cheating. O bata kereng? I am coming

home.”

The following morning, Refa woke up with

Tefo’s arm around her. She looked at him
admiring his looks wondering how her baby was
going to turn out. She turned them got up from
the bed and looked at his pants on the floor.
She picked them up just as a condom fell from
one of the pockets. She stared at it for a while
the picked it up and placed it on his bedside
before walking out holding her phone.

It flashed in her hand then she swiped the

screen picking.

“Papa..”

“Refa, o tsamaya kae? (How far are you?)’

“Our flight is for 12. We will be there before the

time agreed.”

“I need you here so I can understand a few

things. I was talking to your mother’s sister and
she told me that you are refusing to come for
botsetsi.”

“Aunty said I will be at her house for 6 months.

In those 6 months Tefo won’t be allowed to see
his baby. I understand that she’s trying to do
things the way they should be done culturally
but Tefo is someone from outside and I don’t
want it to seem like I am keeping him from his
baby.

“The 6 months story is just ridiculous but you

need to come back home when are about to
give birth so that you have family to help you.
Tefo will have access to his child. We will never
keep him away. We will discuss it when you
come.”

“Eerra.”

“So when is he marrying you?”

She walked inside the kitchen. “I don’t know.

Please don’t ask him anything that has to do
with us getting married. He lost his wife a while
back. Can we not out him under pressure.”

“No one is putting him under pressure, if he

knows how to impregnate you then we
definitely ask him when he is marrying you. I will
see you later.”

Her father hung up then she started cooking

making breakfast. A Facebook message pinged
then she clicked on it.

Meanwhile in the bedroom, Tefo woke up to his

phone ringing.
“Yeah?”

“Hi, ke Letty.”

Tefo frowned. “The fuvk?”

“I have our pictures and screenshots of our

conversations when you wanted to use me. I
have sent them to your pregnant girlfriend so
that she knows that you had been cheating on
her during that trip. You used me as a weapon
to hurt my husband, you got what you wanted
because today my husband is divorcing me.
You have hurt me more than anything Tefo. If
my relationship is going to end then so will
yours. I am telling her everything.”

He sat upright. “And you really think she will

believe you?”

Letty laughed. “She will. Women are not stupid

Tefo.. But it’s ok even if she doesn’t believe me
but trust in the relationship will be lost. This
doesn’t begin to cover the way you hurt me
Tefo. I have never met anyone as evil as you.
Congratulations on successfully hurting
Lawrence. You have succeeded and I hope you
find inner peace.”

She hung up. Tefo turned and looked at the

condom on his side. He stared at it fir a while
wondering if he was the one who put it there.

But no… it had been in his pocket. He got off

bed and the pants were not there anymore.
“Fuvk!”

Tefo stared at the condom, it was obvious she

had taken it from his pocket. But then it wasn’t
open so at least that was evidence that he
didn’t do anything. He freshened up thinking of
his defense. She was probably not going to ask
him knowing Refa.

Minutes later he walked out of the shower and

put on sweatpants before walking out.

He looked at her in the kitchen humming while

frying something in the pan. He walked over.

“Hey..”
Refa looked at him. “I am almost done. I will eat
and bath so we can go.”

“Eemma.”

He looked at the untouched flowers he had

brought with the previous day.

“I got you those.”

“For?”

She stared at him. Tefo took her hand. “To

apologize for the way I spoke to you yesterday.
My baby is not going to Maun but I could have
spoken to you in a better way. I was
disrespectful and for that I am sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize.”

“I was wrong-“

“I know you found someone new. I also think

maybe it’s time we now just focused on the
baby and stop everything else because it seems
once you find new interests, you change.”

“There is no one new. I swear on my mother’s

grave. I’d never do that to the baby or to you.”

Refa turned to her pot. Tefo switched off the

stove and held both her hands.

“Please forgive me for yesterday. I didn’t mean

to take out my frustrations on you. I have been
stressed about a certain deal that just won’t
come together. Yesterday when you mentioned
taking my baby so far away, I just got triggered
and I am sorry.”

Refa looked at him. He swallowed. “I don’t want

us to go to Maun when you are not happy with
me.”

“Does it even matter to you? Whether I am

happy or not. You seem to never care.”

“I do.”

“A woman sent me messages on messenger. I

remember her from our trip in Mauritius. From
there I remember she had a leaked sex tape. I
watched it briefly. She sent me screenshots of
your messages with her and a few other things.
I just need the truth from you. I understand
what this is… but I also think you owe me some
sort of truth. If you don’t feel the need to, it’s
still ok. We can end this conversation now. Was
she there with you?”

He nodded. “Yes.”

“It was you on the video? Did you have it leaked

too?”

He looked at her. “I don’t want to lie to you. I am

not a nice person but I have my reasons. I’d
never hurt you, yesterday I realized I actually
never want to hurt you. One day when you are
ready I will tell you. After you give birth. You are
going hate me after. I will understand.”
“Did you have sex with that woman last night?”

“Nyaa mma.”

“What did you do with her?”

“She tried to kiss me. And that’s when you

called. I left immediately.”

“So you will continue to try to work with her?”

She stared into his eyes. Tefo kissed her. “No.”

“I want you to look at me when I am talking to

you.”
He looked at her. “No. I will not. Besides Letty,
you are the only woman I have slept with in the
last month. Whether you believe it or not, that’s
the truth.”

She turned and switched on her stove. Tefo

kissed her neck then thoughtfully went back to
the bedroom and took the condom. He walked
out and looked around and threw it at the
neighbor’s yard before hurrying back in the
house.

Refa looked at him. “After I give birth I want us

to stop seeing one another. I want to move past
this stage in my life and find someone who can
love me. We will find a way to co-parent and
since you really wanted this baby, I will be more
cooperative when we work on the custody
terms.”

“Why immediately after you give birth? I thought

you’d be moving in.”

“Into your wife’s home?”

“No. Into the house I just finished building.”

“I am not moving in with you. I don’t want to

think this could be anything other than what it is
right now.”

“What makes you think it can’t be anything else?

I am just asking.”

“You still wear your ring. Your late wife is your

lock screen. She may be late but she’s a big
part of you. I don’t know but it feels you haven’t
yet acknowledged she’s not here anymore and
honestly take your time but I just don’t want to
be part of it. She is everywhere and yet she is
late. I want to be loved Tefo. To be careful for.
The man for me is not you.”

She walked past him and sat down eating.

Later that morning, Tefo spoke to his uncle

sitting in his car.

“I don’t want my child in Maun while I am in

Gaborone.”

“I hear you but you need to understand that

Refa is not your wife so you can’t make
demands. This is her family, till you marry her,
you can’t really raise your voice. The baby is
yours but Refa is the mother. You should
convince Refa because us asking her family to
allow her to stay with you after she gives birth
is not appropriate. Sort it out with Refa.”
“She wants to break up with me gore a jole.”

“Break up with you how? Akere you two are not

dating.”

“You know what I mean. She wants to start

seeing men immediately after she gives birth. Is
that even safe for the baby?”

“I doubt she will have time for that but what’s

the problem? Akere you said-“

“Malome my baby is now involved in all this.

Refa likes being unreasonable. There’s nothing I
don’t give her.”
“There is a lot you don’t give her. Money is not
everything. Ever wondered why rich people get
cheated on? Tefo you can’t expect Refa to just
sit and hope when you behave like a married
man. She is not sure whether you want to move
on or you want to cry for Osa for the rest of your
life. Put yourself in her shoes. I hope you don’t
lose a good woman because of a dead woman.”

Tefo leaned back on the seat. His uncle carried

on talking.

“I am sure this relationship feels like there are

three people in it. Refa is very smart so I am not
surprised she wants to end things. If you were
her, you would end things too.”

“You don’t understand –“

“I understand perfectly. You are scared.”

Refa walked out of the house in a long white

maternity dress.

“I will call you when I arrive in Maun.”

“Ok.”

Tefo looked at his ring then took it off and slid it

in his pocket before stepping out and opened
the door for Refa. She slowly got in the car then
he closed the door for her before jumping back
in the car and driving off.

Refa smiled with her phone. Tefo looked over.

Refa continued smiling on her phone.

“O bua le mang?”

Refa looked at him and smiled. “If it were you

on your phone then I ask you, you wouldn’t
answer me. Exactly why I wish I can just give
birth today. I am tired Natefo. Tota nna ke setse
ke lapile rra. All this is tiring. I have had enough
of the mixed signals.”

“I was just asking-“

“Why are you asking? Akere we are not dating.”

He took a deep breath keeping quiet. She

looked at her phone and continued pressing it.
Tefo’s phone vibrated as a message came
through. He stopped at a traffic light and
opened the message from Marang.

Marang: Hi, I just wanted to apologize for

yesterday. I don’t know what got over me.
Please forgive me. I hope it doesn’t ruin the deal.

Tefo: Morning, unfortunately lines were crossed

yesterday. You won’t be dealing with me
moving forward. Either that or we ultimately go
with a different company.

He put away his phone headed to the hospital.

Tefo looked at Refa.

“Do you want anything?”

“No.”

Refa noticed his ring finger, he had taken it off

but there was a mark that it had been there. She
looked away in silence.

***

Amara finished taking pictures of her G-Wagon

and posted it for sake on Facebook. She sat
down sadly as her cousin called.

“Hello?”

“I just saw you posted your new car.”

Amara cleared her throat. “Yes, kea rekisa.”

“Did Tefo fire you?”

“He is going to. I still owe the bank a lot of

money. I want to pay them off so at least I know
when he fires me, I won’t drown in debts.”

“I am sorry. I wish you had never taken the job.”

“I was desperate. I needed it.”

“Working for ex’s never end well. Especially this

kind of ex.”

“He said I take him to court he will drag the

case till I am penniless.”
“I am sorry but I hope you learn something from
this. Tota working for ex boyfriends never
works out. From here I think you should be
prepared for anything.”

“Yeah.”

“Bye couzie.”

Her cousin hung up as another call came

through from the COO.

“Hello?”

“Hey, saw you decided to follow my advice. I

know you must be devastated but don’t get
discouraged. You look like a very intelligent
woman. You will get something bigger from
here.”

“Thank you.”

“O sharp akere?”

“No but-“

“Tomorrow I am flying to the delta. Come with

to just breathe in fresh air.”

“I can’t just up and leave –“

“I know, you will be coming with me for a work

related course. Some fresh air will do you good.
You can call me Busang. I will see you
tomorrow, 9 sharp at the airport.”

He hung up. She held her phone for a moment

then called him back.

“Are you serious?”

“I don’t do jokes.”

“What if Tefo-“

“Don’t think about him. You will be coming with

fir fresh air. I won’t be with you because I have
business to take care of there. Why are you
scared? You are coming with as an employee.”
***

At the hospital, Tefo looked at the screen during

the ultrasound while listening to his son’s
heartbeat. He emotionally stared and wet his
throat.

He looked at Refa and kissed her. “Thank you.”

She smiled rubbing his head. Tefo looked at the

doctor.

“Is she ok?”

The doctor nodded. “Ms Arefa is ok. And so is

the baby.”
Tefo caressed Refa’s cheek. “Did you tell the
doctor about the pain you were feeling?”

“It wasn’t that serious. I am fine Tefo. If there

was something wrong with me you’d be the first
to know.”

“And her blood pressure –“

Refa pulled Tefo. “Tefo-“

He turned to her making her keep quiet.

A while later they walked out. Tefo looked at her.

“I am sorry my process of grief is taking longer.

I wasn’t prepared to be where I am today. After
Osa I vowed to myself I wouldn’t find myself
locking anyone again because it seems I end up
losing those people at the end of the day. I live
in fear of losing my daughter and now it’s you. I
can give you more. I just need time to properly
let go. I just need you to be patient a little bit
more. Let me deal with everything that needs to
dealt with, let me close the chapters that
hanging lose and if you still want… we can try
this. Properly this time around.”

That afternoon, Tefo slowed down in Rakops as

Refa directed him to her father’s house.

“The cream house. Stop by the tuckshop.”

Tefo pulled up by the tuckshop and kissed her.

“I will see you just now.”

Refa nodded then took her small bag and

stepped out of the car. She walked to her
father’s house and walked inside looking at the
relatives chatting outside. Her father walked
outside and smiled looking at her.
Refa smiled back approaching him then hugged
him.

“Papa…”

“You look beautiful.”

“Thank you.”

“Come inside.”

Rragwe Refa took his daughter in the house

with the rest of the relatives. They made her sit
down and looked at her. Her father sighed.

“I am happy to see you. When you told me you

were pregnant I was a bit disappointed because
I thought you’d get married first but
nonetheless, you went on to say the man who
impregnated you was a good man and was
taking good care of you. I can see it, you look
beautiful and healthy.”

Refa smiled. “He has his flaws but he is a good

man. His family is a very good family.”

Refa’s uncle nodded. “Then today should go

smoothly.”

The other aunt looked at her. “O go nyala leng?”

Refa shyly smiled. “He still needs time.”

Her father shook his head. “Time for what?”

“Papa..”

“He didn’t need time when he was getting you

pregnant akere? He’s going to explain to me
why he’d get you pregnant and say he needs
time with other things.”

The family carried on discussing a few things.

Refa finally got up to change into a flared
German print dress. She pulled the curtain as
the David’s parked their big cars outside.

Refa spotted Tefo and took a deep breath

closing the curtain.

Her mother’s sister walked in and smiled.

“What baby is it? You look very beautiful.”

Refa smiled. “A boy.”

“I spoke to your father and we agreed you’d

come for 3 months instead if 6. Tefo can see
his baby. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just
wanted us to do things the way they should be
done considering you are not a daughter in law
of the David’s.”

“I can’t come here for 3 months because I have

a business that needs my attention. I have to be
in Gaborone so I can manage it better. If you
cannot come to my house in Gaborone to help
me then I will have to find a helper but I would
love it if it were you.”
***

Rragwe Refa sat properly as the David’s walked

in. They respectfully greeted them before sitting.
Refa walked out of the house with her aunt and
sat down. Tefo stared at her. She locked eyes
with him and smiled looking down.

Tefo’s oldest uncle stood up.

“Bagolo, we would like to first thank you all for

allowing us to come and have this meeting.
Tota we would have loved to have come sooner
but we didn’t get told of the pregnancy till a
month ago. We are here to acknowledge the
baby that Arefa is carrying.”
Rragwe Refa looked at them.

“We are relieved that your son is willing to take

responsibility for his actions but…” He turned to
Refa. “Refa, before we go far, batho ba wa ba
itse? (Do you know these people?)”

She nodded shyly. “Eerra.”

“Is the person who impregnated you here?”

“Eerra.”

“Ok, re ka tswelela.”

Rragwe Refa nodded at his brother who took

over.
“Like my brother has said, we are relieved your
son is taking responsibility for his actions
without force. Today we are simply going to
charge you for impregnating our daughter
without marrying her. But nna tota I have to ask,
after this, what are your intentions with our
daughter.”

Tefo’s uncle looked at Tumo who respectfully

and calmly spoke on behalf of his brother.

“Our intentions with Refa is to marry her. We

would have done that today as Tefo had
communicate how much he loves your
daughter but my brother is a widower and we as
a family just wanted to officially close that
previous chapter in his life before we could
come here to say we are marrying your
daughter.”

Refa listened fiddling with her fingers.

The meeting carried on. Over thirty minutes

later, The David’s bid farewell and walked out of
the yard. Rragwe Refa smiled in disbelief
looking at 12k they had charged. They hadn’t
even tried to negotiate it down.

Refa walked with one of Tefo’s aunt’s to her car.

“Tefo wa go rata. He may seem complex but he

loves you. You just need to understand how his
brain works. And Osa is not an issue. That
woman was a lovely person and I am sure she
is happy that it’s you.”
“Eemma.”

She turned and looked at Tefo as he walked

over. He kissed her.

“I found a lodge close by.”

She smiled. “Ok, you will pick me up later.”

He kissed her cheek and walked to the rental

car where his brother was waiting.

Tefo’s aunt smiled. “See? He loves you.”

Refa shyly smiled.

***

Letty knocked on Lawrence’s door at his office

then pushed it open. He turned to her. She fixed
her dress walking over..

“Hi. I found a buyer for the house.”

“How much did they settle for?”

“1.1 million.”

“I will talk to them.”

“I miss you.”
Lawrence looked at her. “You will find someone
else.”

“I am sorry. I am so sorry.”

“I warned you before it happened that he’d try

and hurt me. I didn’t expect him to take it that
far or for you to fall for him after I spoke to
you.”

“I am sorry. I still love you. I will always love

you.”

“I will see you tomorrow in court.”

Letty handed him the file that had the buyer’s

information and walked out. Tears burnt her
eyes as she got in her car then called a number
she had long saved.

“Hello?”

“Hi, is this Refa?”

“Yes. Who’s this?”

“Letty..I spoke to you over messenger about

your boyfriend.”

“Oh, hold on so you can talk to him.”

“No, actually I want to talk to you.”

“I have nothing to say to you. He was not
cheating on me because him and I were not in a
relationship, I was just like you. I am sorry you
allowed yourself to be manipulated like that but
you did sleep with him willingly. I am sorry for
your divorce as well.”

“We can both take him down. He is not a good

man. We can work together. I know he might be
treating you right for now but soon…he will
leave you hot abs dry.”

Refa laughed softly. “Letty right?”

“Yes.”

“Letty, Tefo is the father of my child. You were a

piece in his game with your husband. I am really
sorry all this is happening to you but please
don’t think you can ever recruit me to work
against my man, that's you trying to take food
out of my child's mouth. See someone.”

Refa hung up. Letty hit the steering wheel

pissed off. She tried calling him but his number
didn’t go through.

Letty sent Refa a long message fuming.

Letty: I hope he does to you what he did to me.
Tell him his evilness will come back to bite him
and that children. Karma never forgets it’s
address. God will punish him.

Refa responded moments later.

Refa: Get help.

***

In Rakops, Tefo’s phone rang as he chatted with

his uncle and brother.

He took it out and picked.

“Yeah?”
“Mr David, Mr. Ifemu has an emergency and had
to leave. His flight is set to leave in 3 hours
meaning he can only meet you today.”

Tefo looked at the time. “Shit! I am still

attending to something.”

“He says he only wants to talk to you.”

“Ahh fuvk! I will call you back.”

He hung up and called Refa.

“Hi..”
“Hey, I have to attend to a work issue at the
Maun branch. Are you done? Can we go now?”

“I can’t leave now. I am still with the elders. I

thought you were going to handle business
tomorrow.”

“There is an oil rig company I am trying to

partner with. The owner is here, we were set to
meet tomorrow but he has an emergency and
will be leaving today.”

“I can stay behind then I will come tomorrow or

later with a bus.”

“You are not coming in a bus.”

“Tefo I am pregnant, not disabled.”

“I said no.”

Tumo looked at him. “Go. I will bring her.”

Tefo frowned. “I-“

“I will bring her. I won’t hurt her. I will bring her

once she’s done.”

Tefo looked at his brother for a while then

spoke on the phone.

“Tumo will get you.”

“Ok.”

Tefo hung up and looked at Tumo.

“Should anything happen to her while under

your care I swear to God, I will kill you faster
than intended.”

Tumo took a deep breath. “Nothing will happen

to Refa. I know you don’t trust me but I know
you love her. I won’t hurt her.”

***

Later that day, Refa walked over to her father as

the sun set.
“Thank you for standing with me today.”

Her father turned to her smiling. “I am so happy.

That family is a very good family. I loved how
they carried themselves. Even Tefo, he’s such a
humble man. He seems level headed and kind. I
loved how he truthfully answered our questions.
They love you.”

Refa smiled. “I am glad. I have to go. I haven’t

found a manager for the preschool as yet so I
need to be there making sure everything is
going well.”

“Of cause. I understand. He’s coming for you?”

“Yes.” She cleared her throat. “Tefo and I have

decided I will remain in Gaborone after I give
birth. I spoke to aunty, it’s either she comes to
help me in Gaborone or I just get a nanny.”

“I hear you. If you think that’s what best then it’s

ok.”

“Thank you.”

Refa walked back in the house calling Tefo.

“Hey..”

“Are you in the meeting?”

“Yes.”
“Sorry.”

Tefo chuckled. “ It’s ok, are you ok?”

She smiled. “Yes, Tumo can come and get me.”

“Eemma. He will be there in a few minutes. Call

me if you don’t feel that safe.”

“I don’t think your brother would hurt mme”

“Call me. He’s got your hot wings.”

Refa smiled. “Thank you.”

“Anything for carrier and the baby.”

Refa laughed. “Ke carrier yaanong?”

“What should I say? Akere you said we are not

together. When are you getting an assistant for
both the preschool and boutique for when you
go to maternity leave?”

“I will manage. I will be working from home

akere? My businesses are still relatively new. I
don’t want anyone messing things up for me.
Should you leave me I need-“

“And who said I am leaving you? Tell whoever

you promised a relationship after you give birth
to fuck off because a ka nyela blind. Once we
get back to Gaborone you are going to see our
house.”
Refa smiled. “Are you going to sign over half of
it to me?”

“You have started!”

She burst out laughing. “Just in case.”

“O ta swaba Refa.”

She giggled. “I can’t wait to see it.”

“You are going to love it.”

“You will be moving with me?”

“Yeah.”

She smiled as that excitement in her stomach

exploded making her smile more but what if he
changed his mind? She had to be prepared for
any outcome.

“I will see when I give birth. If you are not going

to give anything solid then you should know I
will be ending things. We will co-parent.”

“I am calling Tumo. We will have this discussion

sitting.”

“Ok.”

He hung up. A while later Tumo parked at the

gate. Refa bid her family goodbye and walked to
the car. She got in and smiled at Tumo.

“Hi.”

“Mrs David, I have been assigned to take you to

Maun. Thamma nothing should happen to you
or else Tefo will kill me.”

Refa laughed. “He is dramatic. I will be fine. You

two swapped cars?”

Tumo reversed and drove off. “Yeah, Tefo

wanted a faster car because he thought he’d
finish quickly and come back for you.”

Tumo handed her a paperbag with her hot

wings.

“Your food.”

The smell of the chicken made her salivate as

she opened the paperbag. Tumo joined the
main road and stepped on the accelerator
headed to Maun.

Tumo looked at the car behind him over an hour

later. The car had been behind since they had
left Rakops. He increased his speed feeling
slightly unsettled.

The car increased it’s speed too then it shifted

lanes and sped past him overtaking him. He
looked at his rearview mirror and there was
another behind.
Tumo looked around, there were in the middle
of the forest and somehow he felt unsettled. He
double checked if the car doors were locked
and rolled up all windows.

They passed a signage showing that Maun was

100km away. Tumo stepped on the accelerator
speeding. The car behind him maintained his
speed. His heart skipped as the car that had
overtaken him swayed in the middle of the road,
it’s tires screeching.

Refa looked as the car stopped in the middle of

the road a distance away followed by two men
stepping out holding Ak47 guns.

One of the men aimed at the windscreen and

shot. Refa screamed putting her hands on her
face as the bullet cracked the windscreen.
Tumo turned the steering wheel in panic veering
the car out of road. He slammed on the breaks
as the car went into the bush.

He swallowed, his heart racing then looked at

Refa.

“Run!”

She looked at him shaking. “Tumo-“

Tumo unclipped her seatbelt. “Run!”

Someone knocked on the window. Tumo turned.

“Step out of car, no one has to get hurt. Try any
funny business and I will blow your brains out of
your skull. Out of the car!”

Tumo’s heart raced as he looked, they were

surrounded. Refa looked at him tearfully. She
screamed as another smashed her window with
a stone then opened her door from inside.

Tumo raised his hands.

“Ok! Don’t hurt her. Take anything you want.”

The other man shook his head. “Fuck… you and

your brother swapped cars? We thought we
would meet him. Pity… you!” He pulled Refa out.
Tumo got out of the car.
“Take anything you want! We have phones and
cash-“

“We want a million.”

Tumo frowned. “What? We don’t have that kind

of money!”

“Your brother does. We have been studying him

for long enough to know he does. We know
everything and he’s going to pay that money-“

“You are going to jail, you think this is a

movie?!”

Tumo looked at Refa who was shaking crying.

One of the man slapped her hard across the
face.

Refa fell then he kicked her in the stomach.

Tumo tried to rush over but they pulled him
back as the man continue kicking Refa while
she screamed.

Tumo tried getting to her but two men held him

back while the other beat him. The one kicking
Refa stopped then pulled her up while she cried.

“Call your boyfriend. You are going to tell him to

give us the 5k and we will let you go.”

She nodded crying. The man handed her a

burner phone then she dialed Tefo’s number
and called him.

The phone rang unanswered making more tears

roll down her cheeks. She looked at Tumo
shaking and called Tefo again.
He picked. “Yeah””

“Tefo! Tefo it’s me!”

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

The man looked at her.

“We have been attacked and… they need 5

million to let us go. They won’t stop beating
Tumo.”

“What?”

The man snatched the phone.

“We have your girlfriend and your brother. We
only need 5 million and all this will be over.
Unless of cause you want to find her six feet
under. That’s also an option, your brother will
get to watch us slit her open and burry her with
the baby she’s carrying.”

Refa cried looking at Tumo who was now on the

ground as they all beat him.

“Please stop! Make them stop! Stop please..

they are killing him.”

“Give me an hour let me work something out.

How do I know you release them once you get
the money?”
“I will release them. The money and we will let
them go.”

“Let me talk to her.”

***

In Maun Tefo got in his car shaking. He could

feel his limbs weaken as Refa started crying on
the phone.

“Hey it’s ok… I am going to get you.”

“They were kicking the baby…”

“I am coming to get you. Stay calm for me ok?”

“Tefo-“

A man spoke. “Involve the police and they both

die. The choice is yours.”

The call cut. Tefo started his car making a call.

“Sure Tefo!”

“I need your help Raps. I went to pay damages

for my girl ko Rakops earlier on but had to leave
early leaving her behind. She was going to
come with my brother but I just got a car and
they are being attacked ebile these guys want 5
million.”
“Shit! Shit!”

“I need your help. I can’t involve the police. I

can’t lose her… I can’t lose her. She did
nothing.”

“They were on their way to Gaborone?”

“No, Maun where I am.”

“I can get my guys on the road now. Let me

make a few calls, get you all the help you need.
I’m in Maun too, don’t panic. They know you
have the money and they have probably studied
everything about you. Remain calm, if they call
you tell them the funds are almost ready. Where
are you?”
***

In Gaborone, Lewa finished taking pictures of

herself naked. She bit her lower lip and sent
them to her step father.

They grey ticked. She called him smiling

knowing he was going to reprimand her after.
Put on that deep voice and that firm tone. She
giggled alone.

“Yah?”

“Hi uncle T… I just got off a call with granny.

Angie is with them.”

“Yeah, you can go there. I am a bit busy, I will

call you tomorrow.”

“Oh… I sent something to you over Whatsapp.

Take a look when you find time.”

“Yah.”

He hung up. Lewa smiled then went the little

video she had taken too. If she was going to get
him, she had to put in the work.

***

Tefo’s uncle took a deep breath getting off the

call with Tefo.

His wife looked at him. “What happened?”

“Tumo and Refa got attacked on their way from
Rakops. The thieves want 5 million.”

His wife’s eyes widened. “What?”

“Yeah.. I need to get to him. Stay here.”

“What if they attack you too?”

“They won’t. They had been stalking him to

know who he cares about most and their best
bet was her. Let me call Osa’s father and make
sure they keep Angie safe.”

He hurried out making a call.

***

In the middle of the bush, Refa sat next to

Tumo who was slowly waking up. He opened
his swollen eye and looked at Refa as the men
watched them holding torch.

One of them got up losing his cool.

“He thinks we are playing here?”

The other one swallowed fearfully. “I think he

called help.”

“Help ya masepa!”

The scared man got up. “We were supposed to

demand 1 million Moffat not 5!”

Moffat pushed him. “Eyyy voetsek! 1 million?

And do what with 1 million?”

Moffat’s phone rang. He picked.

“Yah?”

“Has he paid?”

“Not yet.”

“Shit! He has contacts, he’s obviously called

people. The big guys. Let them go and get out
of there. I will still pay you.”
Moffat laughed. “You are full of shit. Did you
really think you’d get us to do this job and pay
us only 10k each then you get the rest of it? You
are not getting nothing and we want 5 million. If
we get caught know you are going down. You
come back from Germany and your friend gets
you a job. You are not happy with it so you order
a hit on his family for money. I wonder how they
will phrase it in the newspaper. Maybe they will
mention how you and Tefo were friends from
way back, how you worked at a filling station
together. They will probably say you didn’t make
and your friend did so out of jealousy, you
attacked his family.”

Kitso laughed. “No one will believe you. You are

wanted for murder, you think they will believe
you? You are a fucken psycho!”
The call cut.

Tumo looked at the men then looked at Refa. If

he could distract them, Refa could run and
disappear in the bushes. He slowly took her
finger and wrote on the ground looking ahead
spelling out the word ‘Run’.

Tumo looked at her and the fear in her eyes was

so visible, tears fell. He shook his head then
reached for a stone.

Tumo slowly got up as his body ached throwing

the stone at Moffat.

Refa got up and the men turned their attention

to him and took off running.
Moffat picked the stone and smashed Tumo’s
head that he fell collapsing.

He ran going the direction Refa had went to. He

knew she wouldn’t get far in her condition. He
spotted her and ran even faster. Refa screamed
for help running. Moffat pulled her and slapped
her so hard her ear rang.

“You see? He doesn’t care about you! And you

know what, I am going to burry you alive!”

He took out the knife.

“Please I gave you all my money! Please let me

go!”
He dragged her back to his men..

“Dig out two holes. We are having a funeral.”

Refa cried screaming. He picked the metal rode

they and hit her silencing her immediately as
she fell. He kicked her but she didn’t respond.
He turned her body. The men looked at him.

“Moffat come on-“

“Start digging.”

“If we kill them he won’t pay the money! And

they gave us money, it should be enough to
start afresh elsewhere.”
Moffat grabbed a shovel and started digging.
The other man took off running then the other
two helped. They pushed Tumo inside then
Refa once it was deep enough. Moffat called
Tefo with the burner phone.

“I got the money. Who am I sending it to? Let

me hear her-“

Moffat gave him banking details.

“Send that money to that account. You have 10

minutes.”

“Ok. I’m doing it now. Let me talk to her.”

“9 minutes now…”

He hung up.

“Fill it up.”

They looked at him. “He is sending the money

right?”

“Yeah but they saw us and they will be able to

identify us. Let’s be quick!”

They started filling the hole.

One of the moved back looking inside the hole.

“Moffat kea tsamaya. I am not committing

murder. These people are still alive.”

Moffat looked at him. “And as soon as they

wake up they will point at you.”

“I am going. At least when they point at me it

won’t be for murder. I am going.”

He dropped the shovel and took off running.

The other one swallowed.

“Moffat we can just take what we have. We

made a mistake, at least if it was Tefo himself
not the brother.”

Moffat called Tefo with the burner phone as his

heart pounded.

***

Tefo slowed down looking at Fortuner he had

been driving on the side of the road. Raps
looked at him as Tefo parked. His phone rang.
Raps looked at it.

“Tell him you are waiting for the bank

confirmation.. it’s been done.”

Tefo picked. “I did the payment. I’m waiting for

the bank’s confirmation.”

“The balance still hasn’t changed. Time is

money and your little girlfriend is hanging by the
thread do you hear me?! Five minutes and I
promise you, I will bury her alive!”

He hung up. Raps put on his bullet proof vest.

“They must be around here.”

The SUV behind them pulled over as Raps
jumped out of the car. The silent ambulance
which was also following parked.

A team of S.W.A.T members got out of the SUV

“Let’s go! Spread out! Don’t shoot to kill!”

Tefo got out of the car. “I am coming with.”

“Tefo you are-“

“She needs me! You are not leaving behind!”

Raps threw him a bullet best then ran in the the

bush. Tefo ran closely behind him.
A helicopter flew over them with a bright light
over them.

Moffat stood by the hole impatiently. The

account was still showing that nothing had
come through yet. He called Tefo impatiently.
One of his friends looked at him fearfully.

“I am scared. I want to go.”

“We need to burry them! He’s not picking so

let’s continue.”

His partner looked at the pregnant woman and

threw the shovel down.

“Moffat kea tsamaya. Ng Ng.. I have never

committed murder and I won’t start today. This
was supposed to be an easy job.”

Tefo didn’t pick. Moffat angrily threw the phone

then picked the shovel and continued filling the
hole with soil while his partner ran off. The
sound of a helicopter approached.

“Shit!”

Moffat looked at the hole and swallowed.

The helicopters light brightened, the pilot went

a bit down to see properly, his eyes scanning
the area. His eyes caught on a man standing by
a hole.”

“I see something! A man. Move!”

“On it, see anything else over?”

The pilot went further down flying just above

the trees.

Moffat looked up as the wind pushed him back.

He picked his bag and ran off.

The pilot moved after him.

“He’s running, headed north! I’m on him.”

*

Meanwhile on ground the S.W.A.T moved even

faster.

The pilot spoke to Raps over the speaker.

“I think he was burying something.”

“Sure!”

Tefo kept up with the speed. Rapula slowed

down switching on his torch.

They all approached the hole. Tefo heart

pounded as he looked at Refa’s leg showing
above the soil in the hole.

“Keep moving!”

The rest of the S.W.A.T member continued with

the chase as Tefo pulled the leg.

Rapula helped him pull her out. Tefo looked at

her, his heart racing then quickly wiped the soil
off her face as Rapula pulled out the brother.

Tefo opened her mouth doing mouth to mouth

then started with the chest compressions.

The paramedics who had been running a

distance behind approached. The female
paramedic flickered her torch kneeling down by
the pregnant woman. She felt for her pulse.

She started CPR.

Another joined her while two other paramedics

rushed over to Tumo tending to him.

The female paramedic looked over as her team

started with the chest compressions on Tumo
while the other worked on the breathing tube.

Tefo’s heart raced as he watched them work on

her. Refa gasped and started coughing. Tefo
quickly knelt down.

“Babe! Babe!”
Refa coughed out soil them she looked at Tefo.
Tears filled her eyes as age started crying.

“The baby..”

The paramedic lifted Refa’s dress to feel for the

baby’s heartbeat with a stethoscope. She
moved it around listening closely then paused.

“I feel the baby’s heartbeat. The baby is ok, we

need to get you to ER. We need the chopper.”

Relief washed over Refa as she held on to Tefo.

Tefo turned looking at his brother. The
paramedics working on him looked over.
“Pulse is back. Let’s get them moving!”

Raps walked over speaking on his phone.

“They caught him. He seems like the

mastermind. The chopper is coming. Let’s go
back to the road.”

Tefo lifted Refa.

Refa sniffed with her arms around him. They

walked back to the road where the helicopter
slowly went down stopping a bus that was
coming from a distance. Tefo got in the
helicopter with Refa. He sat down and watched
as they put Tumo inside on a stretcher. The
helicopter soon took off. Tefo guiltily looked at
Refa and kissed her forehead.
“I am sorry. I shouldn’t have left you..” He
sniffed holding her closer.

She blinked as warm tears fell then closed her

eyes.

***

At the hospital in Maun, Tefo watched as the

doctor examined Refa.

“She has a few bruises to her stomach but the

baby is ok. His heartbeat is as strong as ever
and so is mommy. A little traumatized but
otherwise, she’s ok. BP has went down.”
Tefo smiled and held her hand kissing her.

Refa kissed him back. “How is Tumo? He tried

to distract them so I can run. When the man
dragged me back I saw Tumo on the ground.
They hurt him.”

“He’s being transferred to Gaborone.”

Refa looked at him tearfully. “He was willing to

sacrifice his life for me.. for your son.”

Tefo swallowed. “I shouldn’t have left you in the

first place.”

Refa pulled his hand to her bump so he could

feel his child move. He chuckled.
“He’s awake..”

Refa chuckled. “He’s been.”

Tefo’s phone rang. He kissed her.

“I hadn’t informed your family. Do you want me

to give them a call?”

“I will do it.”

He took out his ringing phone and picked.

“Yeah? Ok, I’m coming.”

He hung up.

“The police is outside. I’m coming.”

“Borrow me your phone, let me call papa.”

He handed it to her unlocked then rushed out.

Refa dialed her father’s number just as a
WhatsApp message appeared at the top.

Lewa: I can be anything you want uncle T, just

give me a ..

Refa curiously clicked on the message. Her

heart skipped as her eyes landed on the nudes
that had been sent to Tefo. Refa scrolled the
conversation, mostly it was him asking her
about school. Refa shook her head realizing it
was Osa’s daughter. She wouldn’t just send
nudes unless something was happening
between them. She shook her head in disbelief.
Tefo walked back in minutes later.

Refa stared at him.

“Are you sleeping with your step daughter?”

“What?”

“She is sending you nudes! Obviously you two

have something going on for her to be sending
you nudes. Not that it matters to me but it just
says a lot about the man you are! What? You
thought the daughter could replace the mother?
How do you sleep with your late wife’s daughter?
Your own daughter’s sister?”

Tefo took his phone and looked at the pictures.

He looked at her as she breathed heavily.

“Are you done? The doctor is discharging you. If

you think I am the type of man to sleep with my
late wife’s daughter then I have nothing to say
to you. I told you my history with this kid, if you
are choosing to believe a narrative that you just
made up in your head then I have nothing to say
to you.”

The door opened then Tefo’s uncle and his wife

walked in. Tefo moved back.

“I will get the doctor.”

She looked at him then smiled as his uncle’s

wife hugged her.

“Are you ok?”

“Yes.”

Tefo walked out with his uncle.

“Is she ok?”

“Yeah, she’s fine.”

“And the kidnappers?”

“They caught one only.”

“Thank God nothing bad happened. Tumo?”

“He’s in a surgery. They are trying to stop the

brain hemorrhage before he gets transferred to
Gaborone.”

Tefo’s phone rang. He took it out and picked his

brother’s wife’s call.

“Hey..”

“Tefo what’s going on? I am about to leave

Gaborone.”

“Stay home. He’s going there. He’s being

transferred.”

“How did he get attacked?”

“He was on his way to Maun from Rakops. The

thugs wanted me.”

She sniffed. “I am so scared. I didn’t get married

to be a widow Tefo.”
“I know. He will be fine.”

Gee sniffed crying. “And your girlfriend?”

“She is fine.”

“Tumo knew you hasn’t really forgiven him. How

come he is hurt and your girlfriend is fine?”

“Gee-“

“I am an ex military Tefo. I mean, no plan beats

this one right? Robbery goes wrong. Brother
dies..”
“He is actually right. I haven’t forgiven him for
murdering my mother and a lot of other things
he did. The day I decide to murder him, I won’t
leave room for question. I didn’t do it.”

Gee broke down crying. Tefo sighed.

“He is not dying. He will be fine. He is stronger

than you think.”

She sniffed crying. “I am scared.”

“He will be fine, trust me. Stay home. Don’t go

anywhere. Ok?”

“Ng..”
“That’s yes?”

She sniffed. “Yes.”

Tefo chuckled. “If someone ever told me you’d

marry Tumo back then, I would have laughed.”

She giggled sniffing. “Me too. Please don’t hurt

him. I love him. We are going to have more kids.
Please don’t take him away from me.”

“You will see him tomorrow.”

Tefo hung up then his phone rang again.

“Kitso..”
“Hey, you good?”

“Yeah sure.”

“Oh ok.. how did uh paying damages go?”

“Well. The family is understanding.”

“Good. I was just checking the cost. We should

go for golf when you come back.”

“Yeah, I will communicate when free.”

“Ok… uh how’s Refa?”

“She’s fine, gorileng?”

“I am just…just uh..-“

“What’s going on? You sound scared.”

Kitso laughed. “Nah…”

“Maybe you should be.”

“Scared?”

Tefo laughed. “I am pulling your leg. I have to

go.”

Tefo hung up and clenched his jaws angrily. He

couldn’t wait till he dealt with the bastard. Tefo
opened the message that had just come in from
Lewa.

Lewa: Uncle T 🥺
Tefo: I don’t want you, never did. If you can’t
respect who I am, the least you can do is
respect yourself. No man wants a woman with
no self respect, who’s all over. All men probably
just use you which is a shame because I used
to think you were a bright girl clouded with
teenage hormones but I can see this is just who
you are. You are the type of woman I wouldn’t
dare sleep with in fear of contracting unknown
diseases. Your mother must be turning in her
grave.

She read it and replied.

Lewa: This is why I slept with your friend! And
he enjoyed it very much!

Tefo shook his head. He blocked and deleted

her number on his phone headed to the doctor’s
office.

That same evening, Momo laid on the couch

with her feet on her husband’s lap while
scrolling on her phone.

She read a post on Facebook then opened the

comments laughing then paused at a random
comment. The type she usually just scrolled
past. She took a deep breath reading.
‘We bring back lost lover, Recover stolen
properties, Revenge, Remove the bad luck,
Court cases, Strengthen relationships, To be
married, Miracle money, Stop cheating, Divorce
or to stop, Quick pending issues approval,
Promotion, Find a job, fertility issues, send us a
message.’

Momo bit her lower lip and tapped the person’s

profile then sent a message.

Momo: Hi, I saw you help people with various

problems. I am struggling with getting pregnant,
can you help me?

She took a deep breath, at least the person

count had a setswana name. She replied
minutes later.

Khumo: Yes, I can help you. You will get

pregnant in less than 5 months.

Momo stared at the message. There was no

harm in trying, it’s not like she had anything to
lose. She carried on chatting with the person
while Bokani massages her feet, his eyes on the
game.

Momo took a deep breath looking at the fees.

P3500 wasn’t bad.

Khumo sent another message.

Khumo: I can even help strengthen your

marriage.

Momo: Ok. I want that too.

Khumo: In total it will be P6000. You pay it when

we meet.

***

The following morning, Refa woke up. She

turned and looked at Tefo who was still
sleeping. He hadn’t said anything about his step
daughter’s issue. She caressed his face feeling
guilty for accusing him. She could understand
his disappointment.

She leaned over and kissed him. Tefo opened

his eyes. Refa smiled.

“Hi… how is Tumo?”

“His surgery went well he’s fine.”

She nodded then touched his beard. “I am sorry

for accusing you yesterday. I was out of line
and I am sorry.”

Tefo kissed her forehead.

“Are you hungry?”

She cupped his face. “I am sorry.”

“It’s in the past. If you weren’t pregnant I would
have fucked the shit out of you.”

She smiled. “I know. Did your brother really

mean it? You coming back for magadi?”

“Yes. Once we are both ready I will come back.”

She looked at him and smiled. “Do you love

me?”

“I am going to order something for you.”

“You wouldn’t marry me if you didn’t love me. I

know what you feel in your heart Tefo. You can
deny it all you want but I know and trust me, I
feel it too.”
Tefo kissed her age got up. He put on his
sweatpants and walked out. Refa giggled alone
then picked her phone and posted yesterday’s
pictures.

‘Thank you for making this pregnancy easy for

me, thank you for taking care of me and making
sure I have everything I need. I know this baby is
going to be loved and well taken care of. You
are already doing an amazing job. There is a lot
I could say, you are not perfect but your
imperfections though sometimes annoying
makes you just perfect. I love how you love us.
Thank you baby daddy.’

Later that morning, Amara stepped out of the
plane with the COO.

He looked at her.

“You ok?”

She smiled. “Yes.”

“You are going to enjoy this.”

Amara looked ahead, her heart skipping as

spotted Tefo walking inside the airport holding
Refa’s hand.

“Tefo!”
“It’s ok, relax. Come this side, he won’t see you.”

Amara moved to the other side. Tefo walked

past them laughing with Refa. Amara’s heart
raced till they got in a car outside the airport.
She put her hands on her face in relief.

He smiled. “You don’t have to hide Ama.. you

are here on business.”

Amara nodded then unlocked her phone. She

tapped a Facebook notification and it took her
straight to Refa’s post where her ex colleague
had mentioned her. She frowned looking at
what almost looked like magadi pictures but
she couldn’t be sure.
She read the caption and almost rolled her eyes.
She looked at the pictures staring at how Tefo
was looking at her. She took a deep breath not
wanting to read much into it. She blocked her
ex colleague then thoughtfully unfriended Refa.
She unfriended Tefo too. She didn’t need to see
what he was doing in his personal life.

FIVE MONTHS LATER…

#137

Five Months Later…

Amara walked out of her office talking on her

phone.

“I am knocking off now. What time are you

coming?”

“I am attending a family event. I will be there

late in the evening.”

“And you will be with her?”

“Babe come on..”

“You will be with her akere?”

“I don’t love her. It’s the circumstances I am in. I

can’t just walk away now when she’s battling
cancer.”

“I have been very understanding but I am tired

of being treated like a-“

“I will meet you later I promise. Just be a patient

for a little more time please.”

“Did you talk to your other associates about a

job? My work load has increased so much and
Tefo won’t let me hire a PA. He’s setting me up
for failure. I am the only one who doesn’t have a
PA.”
“I am sorting out that for you. I also need to be
careful. I don’t want to end up losing my job as
the COO. Tefo has connections everywhere.
Just be patient with me.”

“The sooner I leave Tefo Trans, the better.”

“We will talk about it later. Bye.”

He hung up as Amara jumped in her car. She

drove off picking her cousin’s call.

“Hi.”

“You didn’t respond to my wedding invitation.”

“I didn’t? Thamma sorry. Kana I wanted to say
that the weekend of your wedding I will be in
Greece on a business trip.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I am sorry, I will try and be there for the

magadi and patlo.”

“You have been avoiding family events Ama. I

don’t know why but I know the Amara I know
would make sure to be at my wedding.”

“I will see what to do but I can’t afford to mess

up at work. You know my situation.”

“I know your situation but I also know if I were

you I’d make time. If you don’t come then I have
no reason to keep you in my life. I’ve been there
for you since Maya’s passing. I have made time
for you. I am asking you right this one thing…if
you don’t come then we will know where you
fall.”

Her cousin hung up. Amara took a deep breath

driving with one hand.

***

Momo took the concoction that Khumo had

made.

“Make sure you drink it together with your

husband.”
She nodded. “So how long will this one take to
work?”

“In just a month.”

Momo sighed. “This one better work because

you have been making me drink thinks that give
diarrhea but nothing has been working.”

“These things take time. It’s not magic.”

“I am tired of waiting my money. If this doesn’t

work then trust me I will personally drag you to
first offenders prison.”

“It will work. Do pay to cell.”

Momo got up and walked out the house headed
to her car. She jumped in and took a deep
breath. She looked at the concoction again, she
wasn’t sure how much more she could do.

She called her mother.

“Momo.”

“I want to go to your church with you.”

“You can come. I long told you to come. God

answers all prayers. That woman is a scammer
and if you continue with her, you are going to
break your marriage. Who knows what that
woman is giving you.”
Momo sighed. “We will go together on Sunday.”

“I am happy you are finding the light. How is

your cousin?”

Momo smiled. “Nolo is fine. She is moving to

Canada next week.”

“With that white man?”

“Yes. It’s good for her. They will be settling

there.”

“So she will never come back home?”

Momo sighed. “No. If she comes back she will

go to jail. Tefo will make sure of it.”
“Mmagwe Tshiamo told me that her last born
daughter is now working at Tefo’s company.”

“I am sure she is.”

“Did you ever apologize for how we treated him?

Till now I feel guilty. I didn’t treat him well the
time you were with him.”

“Tefo is fine. He moved on. And I did

apologize.”

“Come to church this Sunday.”

Momo hung up then drove off. Her phone rang

as she rejoined the road.
“Yeah?”

“I also have medication that helps tighten your

muscles so that-“

“I am fine. I don’t want that.”

“Its only 2k-“

“I don’t want it.”

She hung up shaking her head. Momo leaned

back, she took the bottle of the concoction and
opened it driving then sniffed. Her intestines
flipped at the smell then she threw it out quickly
reached for the wipers she kept in her car and
spat on one.

She took a deep breath rolling down the

windows to get rid of the smell. She slowed
down and parked on the side on the road as
everything she had eaten earlier on came back.
She quickly got out of the car vomiting.

She got back in the car and took a deep breath

sending Khumo a message.

Momo: This concoction smells so bad I threw it

out. It made me vomit. I am not going to pay for
it. And I won’t be coming back to you.

Khumo: Then forget ever getting pregnant. I am

going to tire your tubes you will never carry a
baby ever in your life.
Momo clicked her tongue and rejoined the road
picking her bottle of water.

***

At Refa’s house, Refa stepped out of shower

with a towel around her. She looked at her aunt
as she finished feeding the baby.

“Rragwe Angie is coming to see us.”

“Ok. I will give you space.”

Refa smiled. Her heart skipped as a car drove in

outside. She quickly dressed up as her aunt
walked out to meet him.
She opened the door for Tefo who smiled
politely.

“Dumelang..”

“Rragwe Angie, you can come in. I will be next

door.”

Refa’s aunt walked out. Tefo walked in the

house holding plastics which he put in the
kitchen then walked to Refa’s bedroom holding
a chocolate.

He opened walking in. Refa looked at him and

smiled.
“Hi..”

Tefo walked over and kissed him, his cologne

engulfing him. He squeezed her body kissing
her more, his hands going underneath the dress.

Refa smiled. “Tefo…”

Tefo sighed. “I miss you.”

She looked at the fresh gaur cut he had. Baby

daddy looked so good and he seemed to be
getting back in shape.

“Me too. It’s almost over.”

“How are you?”

“I am fine.”

He picked his son and kissed him. Refa smiled

watching him as he sat down holding his boy.
She took a deep breath sitting down. Tefo out
his son down minutes later and looked at her.

“The house is done. Don’t you want to go and

see it?”

Refa got up then walked over and sat on his lap.

Tefo kissed her.

“I won’t do anything to you.”

Refa smiled. “You are lying. It’s only 4 weeks

left.”

He sighed then got up and put her on the bed.

“Ok, I have to go. I will-“

“Tefo I love you.”

He looked at her. She hugged him. “I do. I know

you do too. Please don’t hurt me. Just wait for
me. I have hope for us. And maybe I long did
when you said you wanted a baby. You, me,
Angie and Nate Junior can be a proper family. I
can love you. Once I am out of confinement you
will have all the sex you want. Ok daddy?”

She smiled and kissed him unzipping his pants.

Tefo grunted as she took out his dic from his
pants and knelt down. She sucked him till he
was grunting thrusting in her mouth. Tefo threw
his head back releasing in her mouth.

Refa swallowed then got up. She walked to the

bathroom and walked out minutes later wiping
her mouth.

Tefo fixed his pants. “I am going to chill with

Tumo. I will come back later at night.”

She smiled. “Ok. I love you.”

He kissed her hard and walked out calling his

brother.
“I am going to collect him then I will pick you up.
You have everything we need?”

“Yeah.”

Tefo jumped in his car and drove off calling

Kitso.

Tefo drove to a hotel where he checked in.

The receptionist handed him a key. He took it

and went to the room making a call.

“Is the car ready?”

“Yes.”

Tefo walked out minutes later using the

backdoor. He handed one of the hotel staff
money.

“Thanks!”
“Sure!”

He hurried through the back gate going over to

a car that was parked on the side of the road.

The man inside stepped out and handed him

the car keys.

“Here you go.”

“Thanks.”

The man walked off as Tefo jumped in the car

and drove off headed to Kitso’s house.

*
At Kitso’s house, Kitso jumped in the car with
the tinted windows.

“Ntwana!”

“Sure laitaka, thanks for saying yes.”

“Sure anytime, who’s car is this?”

Tefo laughed. “Company car.”

“So when did you buy this farm?”

“Months ago. I am growing old and having farm

is one of the things I need to have. By the way I
hope you don’t mind that Tumo will be joining
us. We are trying to work on our brotherhood.”

Kitso smiled. “It’s ok. I really thought you would

have believed the lies that kidnapper said.”

Tefo smiled. “I knew he was lying. There’s no

way you’d try to hurt my family. We come from
far.”

“I know.. by the way I am thinking of getting a

plot. I want to settle down. My baby mama
wants to come here and we want to try and
work out things.”

Tefo laughed. “The white woman?”

“Yes so… I need to have my things in order.”

“You should, women love a man who knows

what he’s doing.”

“I was thinking maybe you can borrow me some

money. Not much.”

“Yeah sure, how much?”

Kitso looked at him. “Maybe 500k.”

“That’s ok. I will process it tomorrow.”

Kitso smiled happily. “Thank you so much. How

is Refa?”
Tefo smiled. “She is ok.”

Tefo drove to Tumo’s house and parked at the

gate. Minutes later Tumo walked out wearing all
black.

He jumped in at the back. Tefo drove off as

Tumo greeted Kitso. He looked at the time as
Tumo made small conversation with Kitso
keeping the mood light.

A few kilometers outside Gaborone, Tefo turned

driving off road. He drove in a gravel road for a
while and the car had fell into deep silence.

He stopped the car In front of a fence gate then

jumped out and opened it. He got back in the
car and drove in then stepped out and closed
the gate again.

Kitso looked at him as he got back in the car.

“Its getting dark, do you think we will be able to

do what you want us to do?”

“There are lights, it won’t take long.”

Tefo drove further inside the farm and parked

near a house. They all stepped out. Tefo walked
inside the house and switched on the lights
while Tumo offloaded a bag from the boot.
Kitso turned and looked at Tumo who was
putting gloves.
“Aren’t we just fixing the generator?”

“Yeah, and a few lights around the farm.

Thieves have been attacking lately.”

Kitso nodded taking out his phone. He paused

realizing there was no network. He moved
around holding his phone.

Lights flickered in the house, Tumo swallowed

then picked the hammer from the bag. He
walked over to Kitso who had his back on him.
Kitso turned just as Tumo lifted the hammer
and hit his head that he fell instantly.

Kitso tried to get up as blood dripped from his

head.
Tumo sighed. “You thought we don’t know…
that you hired those guys to attack Refa and I?”

Kitso tried to speak.

“We know everything…”

Kitso slowly crawled trying to get away.

Tumo lifted it again and hit his head as blood

splattered everywhere. He lifted it for third time
crushed his skull. He hit him one last time
making sure he was indeed dead then moved
back.

Tefo walked out of the house and looked at

Kitso. He took a deep breath.
“Are you ok?”

Tumo dropped the hammer and moved back

shaking. “I killed someone.”

Tefo nodded. “Thank you. You have done it

before so I am sure it was easier.”

He looked at the crushed skull then turned away

picking Kitso’s phone. Tefo took the body bag
then they put Kitso ‘s body inside together with
his phone.

They carried it a distance away. Tefo got in the

bottle of petrol and matches. He handed his
brother the matches then emptied the petrol on
Kitso’s body.
He moved back as Tumo lit the matches and
threw it the body that immediately caught on
fire.

Tefo looked at the time.

“Let’s go.”

The brothers walked back to the car where they

packed everything of theirs. Tumo looked at the
weapon.

“And this?”

“There is hole behind, let me quickly burry it.”

Tefo walked to the back of the house. Minutes
later he walked then they got in the car and
drove off.

In Gaborone, Tefo parked at Tefo’s gate.

“I will talk to you tomorrow. Thank you for what

you did today.”

Tumo nodded. “I hope we never have to do

what we did today. I wouldn’t have done it but I
did it for you. Right now I feel like a heavy
burden has been put on me.”

“I hope you don’t run off to confess.”

“Nah… I have been seeing someone. I should be
fine.”

“Ok.”

Tumo stepped out of the car. Tefo drove off

going back to the hotel where someone was
waiting to pick the car.

He jumped off and walked back in the hotel

with the same back door.

In his hotel room, Tefo sent a footage to a

number followed with a text.
Tefo: anonymously send it to the police. Hope
you saw your payment.

Number: Sure.

Tefo deleted the messages then undressed and

walked inside the bathroom. Two was down, a
few more were left.

Refa pulled her nipple from her son’s mouth

then watched him as he fell asleep. She put her
breast back in her dress as her aunt walked in
her room.

“O robetsi? (He’s asleep?)”

“Eemma.” Refa looked at her aunt wanting to

ask something but she’d obviously say no.

“I am going to get your food.”

“Thank you.”
She walked out. Refa picked her phone and
called her father’s youngest sister.

“Hello?”

“Aunty ke Refa.”

“Arefa, how are you?”

“I am fine. What happens when you sleep with a

man two months after giving birth?”

“Uhu… nothing. What do you expect to happen?

I know you are with your mother’s sister, don’t
let that traditional old hag ruin your relationship.
I saw your man and he seems like the type that
wouldn’t struggle to get any woman.”
“I had to get stitched when I gave birth to
Junior.”

“Those stitches heal after maximum 6 weeks.

You are ok. What happened?”

“I am scared he’s getting impatient.”

“Men are like that. There’s nothing wrong in

giving your man sex. The reason they say you
shouldn’t is to avoid you getting pregnant again.
O kgona go go imisa gape while you are
breastfeeding that baby and 9 months from
here, you will be in labor pushing out another
child of his.”

“I don’t want to get pregnant again. Not now at

least. Maybe if he marries me.”

Her aunt laughed. “Anyways, go and give him

what belongs to him.”

Refa hung up then got off bed. She took off the
long dress she had on and put on her tights and
a tank top. Her aunt walked in holding a plate.

“Where are you going?”

“I am going to buy airtime. I am coming. I will be

back in ten minutes.”

Refa picked her car keys and phone then

walked out. She jumped in her car and drove off.
*

At Tefo’s house, Refa called him.

“Mmagwe Junior…”

“Open the gate, I’m outside. Let’s go and see

the new house.”

“I am coming. 20 minutes.”

He hung up before she could say another word.

She parked on the side of his house.

15 minutes later…
Tefo parked drove in his yard then walked over
to Refa’s car. Refa looked at him.

“O tswa kae?”

“I was still sorting out something. Where’s

junior?”

“With aunty.”

He smiled. “Will you be staying the night?”

She looked at his smile and chuckled knowing

he was going to ravish her.

“Only if you will be gentle. I am scared of ripping

the stitches.”
Tefo opened the driver’s door and kissed her.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I will be

very gentle..”

He picked her up and walked with her to the

passenger seat where he put her in. He pressed
his gate remote jumping in on the driver’s seat
in Refa’s car and drove off.

Tefo parked at the house then walked with her

inside holding her hand. Refa smiled walking in.

She emotionally looked around then turned to

him.
“It’s beautiful.”

Tefo picked her up and walked with her to the

main bedroom where he laid her down and
kissed her getting on top of her. He took off her
top then pulled out the tights looking at her
body. He dropped kisses down her stomach
then kissed her p*ssy opening her legs. His dic
hardened in his pants, he quickly undressed
pulling her closer and rubbed his hard veined
dic on her circling it around her cl.it.

Refa moved her waist at the stimulation. Tefo

kissed her rubbing himself on her wet slit.

He slid his hand underneath her waist pushing

at her entrance. She gasped as he pushed the
tip inside with a grunt.
Fuvk she was so tight.

He kissed her. “I missed you…”

He slid more of that dic inside. He stopped

halfway in feeling her tense.

He looked in her eyes then gently started

thrusting in with half his dic. She looked at him
and moaned softly enjoying the gentleness. Her
p*ssy adjusted getting wetter as he stroked her
kissing her neck. Tefo moved his waist and
tapped a sweet nerve. She pinched him
moaning a little louder. Tefo carried on with the
same pace and tapped that sweet spot over
and over again. She moved her waist meeting
him halfway moaning louder.
“Awww…ahhhh Tefo…”

“That’s it baby… come for me.”

She held on to him trying hold it in so enjoy it a

bit more but he felt so good her muscles
clenched around him. Tefo hit the same spot
again sending her body into an uncontrollable
eruption. She vibrated underneath him letting it
all out.

Tefo slid out and turned her up making her

kneel. Like a good girl, she put her chest down
knowing how he liked it. Tefo stroked his yard
dic and lifted her ass then pushed through her
p*ssy lips going deep in that sweet cookie jar.
“Fuvk yes!”

He groaned then held her waist pounding into

her. She remained still taking it and listened to
him grunt and moan in pleasure. Tefo pulled her
up that she put her head on his chest while he
went deeper fucking her.

“Aw! Aww! Mhmmm… baby-“

“Shit! That’s it!”

She could feel him deep inside and he wasn’t

stopping.

He put his hand around her throat chocking her

while fucking her. He moaned in her ear lost in
in the pleasure. She felt so good he couldn’t
stop.

Her p*ssy narrowed on him squashing his dic.

Refa closed her eyes as her p*ssy spasmed. His
dic jerked and throbbed offloading his seeds
inside her.

He kissed her neck letting go of her throat then

slid out and made her lie on the bed facing up.
He kissed her lips.

“I missed this..”

She weakly looked at him. Tefo looked at his

cum leaking from her p*ssy as she yawned
exhausted.
He pushed her legs to her chest looking at her
p*ssy lips.

She lazily looked at him wanting to just sleep

but baby daddy had other plans for her.

He guided his dic back in her p*ssy and slid

back in. She looked at her p*ssy being ravished
then looked at him feeling that pleasure slowly
take over. It felt so good, each thrust did
something to her. She touched his chest
moaning softly.

“Tefo…”

His lips met hers maintaining the same strokes.

Refa wrapped her arms around him.
“Tefo tell me you love me.”

He looked at her digging deep inside. The

pleasure doubled as he changed angles tapping
her with no mercy.

She wrapped her legs around him looking into

his eyes. “Tell me you love me Natefo.”

He went deeper kissing her. He kissed her neck.

“My actions speak for themselves.”

Tears filled her eyes. “I need to hear you say it. I

want to hear you say it.”

He whispered in her ear just as she convulsed.

“I love you.”

She rolled her eyes to the back creaming his dic

with her cum. Tefo grunted and froze deep
inside pumping inside her.

Refa held on to him while tears fell from the

corner of her eyes. Tefo kissed her.

“You know I do. You have known that for a while

now. I am with you because I want you and I
love you. I don’t know if you are ready for this
kind of love because it comes with a lot of
things.” He slid out.

“I will take you back in the morning.”

“I am staying here with you. We will pick up the
children tomorrow.”

Tefo smiled happily.

“Thank you.”

***

The following day early in the morning, Tumo

woke up to loud banging at his gate. His wife
woke up and looked at him.

“Ke mang? (Who’s it?)”

Tumo kissed her. “I am coming.”

Tumo looked at the time then got off bed and

put on some sweatpants and a t-shirt before
walking out of the house.

He looked at two police vans at the gate then

pressed the gate remote just as his wife walked
behind him tying her morning robe.

Four police officers walked over. Tumo looked

at them confused.

“Tumo David, you are under arrest for the

murder of Kitso Modise. You have the right to
remain. Silent. Everything you say may be used
against you in court. Let’s go.”
Tumo frowned. “What?”

“You killed a man and we are arresting you for it

morena.”

Tumo looked at his wife. “Call Tefo babe, this is

a misunderstanding. He will sort it out. Call
Tefo.”

They put handcuffs on him and dragged him to

one of the vans.

Gee ran inside the house and picked her phone

shaking almost dropping it. She called Tefo
shaking.

His phone rang for a while till a female voice

picked.

“He- hello?”

“Hi, my name is Gee, Tumo’s wife. Tefo’s

brother’s wife. I need to talk to Tefo now! It’s an
emergency. Tell him his neither has been
arrested, I need to talk to him. They are saying
murder.”

“Uh.. babe… “

The call cut. Gee called again but there was no

answer. She called a few more times then he
finally answered panting.

“Hey..”
“Tumo has been arrested.”

“For?”

“Murder. Someone named Kitso. They took him

with.”

“Ok, calm down.. let me make a call. Just calm

down and stay at home.”

***

That same morning at Heathrow Airport, Bonolo

walked with her husband and two kids inside
the airport to catch a early morning flight to
Switzerland. Her first born ran in front of them
excitedly while Gavin walked carrying the other
one. Bonolo smiled, a vacation was exactly
what was needed before their big move.

They stood in the checking in queue and when it

was finally their turn, Bonolo took out all their
passports and handed them over.

Two police officers walked over to them.

“I am going to need you all to come with me.”

Bonolo frowned confused. “What? We are going

to Switzerland on a vacation. What’s wrong?”

Three more police officers approached with one

black one.
The black one sighed. “Should we call you by
your real name or the new one you gave
yourself?”

Her heart skipped. The police officer smiled.

“Which one do you prefer? Your name is

Bonolo…isn’t it? I can go on listing all your
crimes but I doubt you want to do to that in
front of your kids so how about this… we walk
out of here peacefully and go to the station so
you can tell us how you got away with
attempted murder and more of the crimes you
committed.”

She looked at Gavin shaking. “Babe-“

“You are a liar. If your ex hadn’t called me… I
would have never know the kind of woman you
are.”

She shook her head shaking.

In Gaborone, Tefo put on his t-shirt while Refa

silently watched him. She took a deep as he
pulled that t-shirt down covering his abs.

He walked over and kissed her while she laid on

the bed underneath the sheets.
“I will see you later. Are you any birth control
pills?”

She looked at him. “Yes, why?”

“When did you start on them?”

“Why are you asking? Tefo we are not having

another baby, kea gana.”

He smiled then chuckled. “I know… I am just

asking, am I not allowed to ask?”

“I have been since Junior was born. I want to

get back in shape and get back to work. I have
been thinking of other businesses to do.”
Tefo kissed her. “I know. I will see you later then
we will pick the kids. Let me handle this.”

“Ok.”

Tefo looked in her eyes. “I am leaving but when

I get back I need to know if you are really with
me. I need to know if I can depend you for
support. I need to know if you can stand with
me in front of everyone, if you can hold my hand.
I need to know if you can trust me enough. You
are going to hear things about, not so great
things, some true, some false. I need to know if
you will be with me through the coming storms.
In return I will be faithful and loyal to us.”

“I can do that. As long as you don’t cheat.”

Tefo hugged her kissing her neck then he
smiled. “I will see you later.”

He picked his phone and walked out. Refa put

her hands on her face giggling with happiness.

Her phone rang making her turn reaching for it.

“Hello?”

“Hey friend!”

“Hi.”

“Where are you? I want to come and see the

baby?.”
“Aunty won’t allow you. How’s the school?”

“Things are going well.”

“I will pass by later.”

“Thamma ke adima madi, my older sister is

getting married and I want to get a car.”

“A car?”

“Yes, I have savings with but it’s not enough for

the car I want.”

“I thought that money was fir a plot.”

“I applied for a plot. Gape building a house is a
lot of work and money. I won’t be able to do it.”

“What do you mean Kate?”

“I can always build a house later, right now I

need a car. Something people will see. I just
need 20k extra.”

“Kate I don’t think that’s a wise decision.”

“You have a car.”

“I didn’t take my savings to buy it.”

“Mma unfortunately some of us don’t meet men
like Tefo who can just swipe a car like it’s
nothing. I need only 20k. I will return it.”

“I can give it to you as advance then I will

deduct money every month on your salary.”

“No… I want a personal loan from you. Thamma

I am not asking for a lot. Your girlfriend
allowance is more than that. Please.”

“I have to discuss that with Tefo first. It’s not

like you are just asking for 2k.”

“Why? It’s not like you and Tefo are a couple.”

“Rragwe Angie and I are giving our relationship

a chance, gape tota we have been together for a
while now. Just because we didn’t announce it
doesn’t mean we haven’t.”

“But he’s not your husband. Your money is your

money.”

“Yes but he discusses everything he does with

his money with me. I will do the same.”

“Wow Refa, koore I don’t know who died and

made you queen. You are so desperate for this
relationship that you are trying so hard to be
relevant. You need to calm down, I am sure
Tefo doesn’t care and the day he leaves you,
non of this will matter. You are so boring with
this desperado attitude of yours. If Tefo loved
you then we all would know. He’s with you
because you are the jar he dumps his semen
in.”

“Ok, you are finished?”

“All I am asking for is 20k. You make way more

than that every month. I once helped you when
we worked at the old preschool. I housed you
and fed you-“

“And I made you manager at my preschool. I

pay you a lot every month. Who do you know
gets that kind of money working in a preschool?
You will not guilt trip me on giving you that
money. Borrowing each other money is where I
draw the line. I will discuss it with rragwe Angel
and if that makes me desperate then so be it
but I will be transparent with my man. Bye.”
Shr hung up and called her aunt.

At the police station, Tefo looked at Tumo.

“Hey..”

Tumo hugged him with relief. “Did you get a

lawyer?”

“Yeah. A very good one.”

“They are saying they have a footage…”

Tefo looked at his brother. “I got you a very

good lawyer that I will be paying with my own
personal money. While you are in jail I will make
sure your family is well taken care of.”

“While I am in jail? They are bluffing, what

footage would they have?”

“I could forgive you selling Papa’s farm. I was

stupid, I had only me to blame because who
signs a form with reading. I had been over
excited… at that money that could have done a
lot for me but now that I look back, if I had
gotten it, I would have misused it. But you know
what I could never forgive… it had be you
murdering our mother over that money. You
took her away because of grid and selfishness.
You never paid for that. But today you will… I
wanted to kill you but then realized I couldn’t
because I love you so this is the best
punishment I could come up with. You can
plead being crazy, I don’t know… something. But
you are looking at maybe 10 to 15 years in jail.”

Tumo swallowed looking at his brother. Tears

filled her eyes. “I have a baby. I changed. You
know I changed. I have worked so hard to show
you that. This is why I did what I did yesterday
to show you I’d do anything for me.”

“Yeah, but you can never bring back my dead

mother can you?”

***

Meanwhile in London, Bonolo’s heart pounded

as the detective looked at her.
“Where do you want to start? Maybe where you
hit Mr David and dumped his body with your
cousin? Let’s start there.”

Bonolo swallowed shaking. “It wasn’t me. It was

all Maemo. My cousin. I was just scared so I ran
away but it was all her idea. I never wanted to
do it and by the time I realized what was
happening, I panicked and agreed to get rid of
the body with her. She’s the on who drove
Tefo’s car and made us dump her body.”

The detective looked at her and laughed. “You

think you are smart aren’t you? I. Going to have
fun with you.”

“I want a lawyer!”
“You are getting one but you should know your
husband is having a conversation with my
colleague and he’s telling him everything.”

Bonolo swallowed tearfully then started crying.

“It wasn’t me. It was my cousin!”

“Amd your cousin made you steal money from

your baby daddy? It was her? Think of another
lie because this one isn’t working.”

***

That same morning in Gaborone, Amara walked

in the COO’s office in her short dress while her
heels clacked on the floor. He looked at her and
smiled hanging up.
“Hey..”

“You stood me up last night.”

He got up and kissed her. “I am sorry. I couldn’t

leave.”

“Maybe we should take a break till you are ready

to walk away.”

He hugged her. “Babe please..”

He kissed her putting his hands in her dress.

The door opened, Amara quickly moved back
grabbing a random file on his desk.

The panic on his face made her turn then she

looked at the beautiful woman lady that had
just walked in wearing a military uniform. The
woman walked over to her.

“And you are the dirty whore my husband has

been sleeping with huh? Finally I caught you.”

Her husband swallowed. “Babe what are you

talking about –“

“I have all the evidence I need, a little birdy sent

it all me last night.”

Amara frowned. “I am going-“

The woman slapped her hard across the face.

Mr. Mokgosi looked at his wife’s mad face
knowing exactly what was about to happen.

“Babe ema pele-“

His wife grabbed Amara’s weave beating her.

Amara screamed trying to fight back but Mrs
Mokgosi wasn’t letting go as she punched her
harder. The noise from his office drew other
employees attention. Amara stomped on her
feet then took off running but slipped falling on
the passage. Mr Mokgosi tried holding his
wife’s hand but she turned punching him so
hard that he staggered back. She hit him
between his legs crushing his balls with her
boot.

Amara got up taking off her shoes to run but

Mrs Mokgosi pulled punching her jaw so hard
that Amara fell back to the ground.

Mrs Mokgosi pulled Amara with her wave and

punched her again. Security ran over. One of
them reached for her but she elbowed him so
hard that he staggered back. Blood dripped
from Anara’s nose as she tried to get up.

Mrs Mokgosi raised her first but her colleague

pulled her back.

“Stop!”

She breathed heavily looking at Amara seething

with anger. He nose flared as she breathed then
she walked back to her husband’s office. He
moved back.

“Babe wait… I can explain. Let me explain…”

She laughed. “I am going to destroy you. You
think you can play on my head and get away
with it? I am going to make sure when I leave
you, you are left with nothing. From here, I am
suing your little girlfriend ebile ke bata 200k.
After that I am leaving your ass. I am going to
make sure you suffer.”

She walked out and followed her colleague out.

He looked at her.

“When you said you wanted to surprise your

husband, is this what you meant?”

“No but I found them together.”

He looked at her. “And maybe this is

opportunity you needed to leave him.”
Mrs Mokgosi laughed. “I want to make sure
when I leave, he has nothing.”

They got in the BDF land cruiser and drove off

while other employees watched.

Amara washed her face in the bathroom while a

female security guard rubbed her back.

“Are you still bleeding?”

Amara took the paper towel and dried her face.

She looked at the blood stains on the paper
towel then looked at herself. Two of her front
teeth were now loose. Tears filled her eyes as
she looked at her half snatched weave and the
blood on the hairline from the pulling.

The security guard sighed. “Le wena mma how

do you sleep with your boss who’s married?”

Amara looked down crying. “He said he… he

was leaving her.”

“Leaving her? Married men never leave their

wives. He was lying to you. Everyone knows
that married men are the biggest liars of all
time.”

“I.. I…”
She tried to speak but her heart ached so much
that she cried even more.

The security guard hugged her. The toilet door

opened then HR walked in.

She looked at Amara.

“Is she ok?”

Amara turned sniffing. The HR manager shook

her head looking at her swollen face.

“Come… we need to take you to the hospital

then the police.”

“No… I-“
“We are going. Let’s go.”

Amara walked out with her. Other employees

looked over and she knew she was the gossip
of the office. At first they gossiped her about
being Tefo’s ex but then she had worked her
ass off to prove she had more potential. The
corridors she had once walked on with
confidence felt so small yet so big. It was as if
everyone’s eyes were on her.

She held her tears till they got in the car then
the HR manager drove off headed to the
hospital.

***
At the police station, Tumo looked at his lawyer.

“I need to know the entire truth to be able to

help you.”

Tumo swallowed. “I don’t know where to start.”

“You can just start from the beginning.”

Tears filled her eyes. “Tefo told me Kitso was

the one responsible for the attack. He was
pissed. He was angry and…” He clenched his
jaws rubbing his eyes. “He wanted to get rid of
him. I asked him to calm down.. that we’d find
ways to handle him. Two months ago that’s
when he told me he was going to kill him. He
was going to burn him in the house. I told him it
was to risky… cameras and all. So I suggested if
we were going to kill him, it would have to be
smart. That’s when Tefo told me about the farm.
And…” Tears burnt his eyes. “And uh.. we..” He
sniffed. “We planned to kill him at the farm-“

“We? Who’s idea was it? And was it at a call or

text?”

“In person. It was his idea to do it at the farm.

And we planned for the farm. He would pick up
Kitso then me. We’d get there and I’d do it. He
begged I do it.”

“Still in person?”

“Yes.”
“Was there a point you had this discussion over
the phone?”

“No. It was always in person. He got a car and

he picked Kitso. From there they picked me and
we went. Tefo went inside the house and while
he did that, I attacked Kitso with a hammer. We
put him in a body bag and burnt him.”

“Who lit the body?”

“Me but he poured the petrol.”

“And the weapon?”

“He got rid of it.”

The lawyer sighed. “He set you up.”

Tumo put his hands on his face. The lawyer

sighed.

“The truth is that the police has a footage of

you killing him. They are already at the scene.
We can argue and say it was your brother’s idea
but he was smart enough to cover all his tracks.
I am sure he has a strong alibi as well. This was
a well planned trap. For us to have something
against him we have to prove he was with you
last night. Did he call you before picking you
up?”

“No, we met earlier on and discussed it.” Tumo

chuckled. “He actually suggested we do not
speak at all so to…” Tumo laughed tearfully. “I
have a family.”
“Right now all we can do is try and get you at
least 20 or less years because to be honest…
you are fucked.”

***

Gee looked at Tefo desperately.

“You are getting him out?”

Tefo sighed. “The police found a footage and

the murder weapon. When I told Tumo it was
Kitso who attacked him and Refa I didn’t expect
him to go and kill him. Tumo is not a bad
person… I know my brother and I will do
anything to get him out.”
Gee put her hand on her mouth crying. Tefo
hugged her.

“It’s ok.”

She broke down sobbing loudly.

At the hospital, Amara sniffed as HR walked in

her room.

“Teeth can be replaced. These days nothing is

impossible.”
Amara swallowed. “She is going to sue me.”

“I am sure you will find a way to handle it.

Look… I don’t want to do this right now but..”

That ‘but’ twisted her intestines instantly as she

looked at her. Tears filled her eyes and rolled
down.

The HR manager sighed. “You have a hearing

today on an hour. You, Mr Mokgosi, me, one of
the board members and Mr David. Failure to
show up will result in immediate termination of
employment. I am sorry. I will see you in an
hour. If you wish, you can bring a
representative.”

An hour later, Amara walked inside the

boardroom and only Tefo was in. She looked at
the time, she was early. He turned to her and
put his phone down in shock.

“Damn! That BDF woman really rearranged your

face.”
She sat down sniffing.

Tefo shook his head. “It’s always the quiet ones

who are dangerous. When I met her I never
knew she would be like this.”

“He said they were divorcing. That he was

leaving her. The reason he hadn’t as yet was
because she had cancer.”

Tefo leaned back with a smile. “You believed

it?”

Tears filled Amara’s eyes. Tefo chuckled.

“That’s one of the oldest tricks in the book. It’s

like me telling someone that Refa is just a baby
mama.”

Refa sniffed.

Tefo shrugged. “I am sorry she hit you that hard.

HR says you have two teeth coming out.”

“They are being fixed tomorrow.”

“She really did a number on you.”

She looked at him with glossy eyes filled with

tears.

“What’s this meeting about?”

The door opened and the rest of the attendees
walked including Mr. Mokgosi. Tefo looked at
his braised face.

Damn!

Now he found herself trying to imagine just how

that woman had gotten him, Amara and a
security guard. The HR manager started the
meeting.

“Afternoon, we had to have this meeting as

quickly as we could for damage control. Earlier
this morning it happened that Mr Mokgosi was
found in a compromising position with an
employee. As the COO, we expected far much
better, to show the rest of the team a way to
lead. Mrs Mokgosi emailed us the evidence to
prove that indeed her husband has been having
an affair with Ms –“

Amara moved her chair back crying. HR looked

at her.

“Are you ok?”

Amara nodded crying.

HR sighed. “He’s been having an affair with her,

our project manager. According to Mrs Mokgosi
this affair long started. As Tefo Trans, we
respect the values that we have set. To find out
something like this is very disheartening as
having affairs within the company is
prohibited.”
Tefo sighed. “Do you deny the affair? Is she
lying? Is she telling the truth?”

Amara looked down crying. Mr Mokgosi cleared

his throat.

“We don’t deny it but the affair recently started

and it was outside the office , not that it makes
any better but it never affected our work. We
both have been delivering exceptional results.”

Tefo stared at him. “But it doesn’t change how

you slept with an employee. Right now this
scandal is the face of the company. When I
hired you, I saw great potential in you. I didn’t do
it so you can sleep with the employees. I have
to get going so this is what’s going to happen,
either you hand in your resignation letter with
immediate effect or we just fire you, or you step
down from your current position to assistant
and your assistant takes on the lead. You would
have to swap offices as soon as now.”

“What? You want me to be an assistant to a 25

year old?!”

“A 25 year old who is very good at this job,

either way he’s taking over your position. If you
want to continue working, you know what you
have to do. Should HR draft your letter of
demotion and give you your new contract?”

Mr Mokgosi stood up and angrily walked out.

Tefo looked at Amara then HR took over.

“Unfortunately Ms Amara, we are letting you go

with immediate effect. This company’s
reputation is already being tarnished with this
scandal and since it’s not your first warning, we
have to let you go. Meeting adjourned.”

Everyone else walked out. Tefo got up as

Amara cried.

He looked at her.

“See? I am not that evil. You did this one

yourself.”

“Tefo please…”

“You broke the rules and now you pay the

consequences for them.”
He walked out. She called Mr Mokgosi.

“Amara –“

“I need that job.”

“They won’t hire you, you have been blacklisted.

No one will hire you.”

“What? I need a job.”

“I can no longer help you with anything. I want

to focus on my marriage.”

“You said you would help me find a job.”

“It was before this. Now my wife knows and my
focus is fixing my marriage.”

He hung up.

She walked out of the boardroom minutes later

and walked to the elevator. The doors opened
before she could press then Refa walked out in
a black classy but short dress with heels. Refa
smiled at her.

“Hi.”

Amara forced a smile. “Hi.”

Refa walked to Tefo’s office. Amara got in the

elevator that took her down. She quickly
grabbed her things from her office and walked
out. She got in her car then broke down crying.

***

Tefo signed a few documents in his office. He

looked up locking eyes with Refa as she walked
in. Tefo stared at her, his eyes moving her legs
up her body. The dress sat perfectly at her hips.

Refa smiled. “I had to go to my house, the baby

was crying.”

“Why didn’t you call me?”

She walked over and smiled sitting on his desk

looking at him.
“You had a scandal to handle.”

He pulled her on his lap and kissed her. She

touched his beard.

“Did Tumo really do it?”

“Yes. I got him the best lawyer.”

“Last night you said you were going to be with

him.”

“We never got to meet up. Don’t stress about it.

The lawyer is handling it.”
Tefo’s phone rang, he took it out and picked his
brother’s wife’s call.

“Gee..”

“I am at the police station, they won’t let me see

him, they are saying he’s now at a prison.”

“He has been transferred to a prison.”

“So quickly?”

“Yes. I will arrange for you to see him tomorrow.

I know this is hard but I need you to be strong.
Go back home, I will pick you up tomorrow.”

She started crying. Tefo sighed.

“I am coming now. Let’s meet at home.”

“Ok..”

He hung up. “I have to go and see Gee. She’s

not handling it well.“

“If I say don’t go what will you do?”

“She is my brother’s wife, why would you say

no?”

“I understand you want to be there but

whenever emotions like this are involved, you
will find yourself in a entanglement. Woman are
made different Tefo, the moment you give her
all this attention, being her shoulder to cry on
and so fourth, she starts seeing you as
something else. She starts craving your
presence and I am sure le wena being needed
will be a turn on. Having someone depend on
you for support. At the end of the day you are
on top of her. I am not accusing you of anything,
I am just saying. If you want to go, you can go. I
am just not comfortable with it. And if you are
going, give me my car keys so I can go home.”

“I would never sleep with my brother’s wife.”

Refa nodded then kissed him and reached for

her car keys on his desk.

“Bye.”
“I didn’t say I am going, I am just saying I’d
never sleep with my brother’s wife.”

“Ok.”

His phone rang again.

“Gee..”

“I want to know what lawyer said. You are on

your way right?”

“Unfortunately I won’t be able to come. My

family is here with me, I will have the lawyer call
you. We talk tomorrow.”

He dropped the call. Refa smiled and put her

head on his chest.

***

Amara slowed down in the lunch traffic. She

rubbed her eyes. If she had been blacklisted it
meant finding a job in Gaborone was
impossible unless it was tiny companies.

She sniffed trying not to cry but more tears

filled her eyes. Her phone rang.

“Couzie..”

“Ama, are you ok?”

“Tefo fired me.”

“Eish mma, le wena how could you have a work
affair –“

“He was going to help me find a job. He told me

his wife had cancer and he was leaving her.
Someone told the wife and I swear on my last
money it was Tefo. He wanted this to happen,
to humiliate me. This is why his son died that
time, he’s evil! He doesn’t deserve to be happy.”

“You are just angry you got fired.”

“Tefo had me blacklisted. I probably will never

find a job in Gaborone!”

“You will find something..”

“I am going to befriend his little girlfriend.”

“Amara-“

“If this is the game he wants to play then I am

more than happy to play it. I just need to get
closer to her.”

***

In London, Bonolo sniffed looking at the

detective.

“First you are going to prison for the crimes you

committed here then you will serve them and
when you get deported, your country will attend
to rest of the crimes you committed there.”

She blinked and looked down crying.

A MONTH LATER…

A Month Later…
At high Court, Tefo sat next to his brother’s wife
while looking ahead. Gee sniffed holding her
breath waiting to hear what the judge had to say.
She looked at her husband and he had lost so
much weight within a short period of time.

Tumo turned and smiled and at her. Tears

rolled down her cheeks as she smiled back.

“Because of the nature of this case and the

history of the defendant, this court denies the
bail as the defendant is a danger to society. He
will remain remanded till his trial begins. Court
adjourned.”

Media houses took pictures of Tumo who

smiled looking at his lawyer who was more than
disappointed.

“We will try again.”

“You don’t have to. Let’s just wait for the trial.”

The prison guards walked over to him. Tumo

swallowed. “Thank you for today.”

The prison guards helped him up with his

chains. Tumo smiled at his wife then looked at
his brother still smiling.

Gee broke down crying as they walked out with

him. Tefo rubbed her back.

“We will try again.”

She bended crying. Tefo pulled her up and
hugged her as she sobbed uncontrollably.

“Gee… we will try again.”

She cried even more. Tefo walked with her out

taking her to the car.

“You are going to need to be strong.”

She sniffed. “Everything is falling apart.”

“Nothing is falling apart.”

She looked at him tearfully. Tefo helped her in

the car.

“It’s ok.”

He closed the door and walked round the car

then jumped in and drove off headed to her
house.

He walked with her inside the house. “I know

you feel down but the lawyer is handling it.”

Gee swallowed. “I want to see the video.”

“Gee-“

“I don’t believe Tumo would go back to that

person he had become.”
“He needs you, now more than ever. You don’t
need to see the video. He acted without
thinking.”

Gee looked at him shaking her head. Tefo held

her hand.

“Be strong. I know it’s hard but it will get better.

Let me handle the case.”

She sniffed rubbed her eyes while Tefo looked

at her hair. She looked a mess. He took out his
phone and ewalleted her some money.

“I sent you something. Go and do your hair. And

your nails. He’d love to see you less depressed
tomorrow when you go and see him.”
She nodded tearfully. His phone rang.

“Hey..”

“Hi, I see they denied his bail.”

“Yeah..”

“I am sorry. Are you still at the court?”

“Nyaa mma. I am Gee ‘s house, I was dropping

her off.”

“Ok. I am hungry.”
“I am coming.”

“Ok.”

Tefo hung up and looked at Gee. “I have to go.”

She blinked. “You are going already?”

“Refa is waiting for me.”

Gee sadly nodded and laid on the couch while

her head ached. Today of all days she looked so
out place, so lost. He debated between staying
with her and leaving.

He called Refa walking out. “Mmagwe Junior, I

don’t think Gee us copying well today. I was
thinking if calling her sister or something then
wait with her so she’s not alone.”

“Tefo..?”

“Ma?”

“Ta kwano. (Come here.)”

“Mmagwe Junior, I don’t want to just leave her

when she looks suicidal. Please –“

“Tefo wee?”

“Babe please, it will just-“

“Tefo kare ta kwano. You don’t want to come?”

He looked down. “Ma?”

“You don’t want to come to me?”

“I didn’t say that.”

“Ok, then come.”

She hung up. He walked back in the house.

“Call your sister to come ok? I will be back

later.”

She nodded staring at nothing. Tefo hurried out

then jumped in his car and sped off trying to
avoid the after traffic.

***

Momo picked the pregnancy test with one eye

closed. She looked at the good line then one
faint one.

Her heart skipped as she opened both eyes

then she quickly picked the other pregnancy
tester. The two lines were bold and visible. She
picked the last one and screamed jumping
happily.

Tears filled her eyes as she looked at all three

pregnancy tests. She hurried out of the
bathroom in her office at the coffee café and
picked her phone then called her husband.

“Babe-“

“I am pregnant! I am pregnant!”

“Babe… are you sure? O kae?”

“At work. I tested Bokani. I am pregnant! I am…”

She broke down crying happily. “I am pregnant.”

“Stay there, I am coming.”

He hung up. Momo knelt down crying. Her

phone rang again.
“Baby-“

“It’s me, Momo!”

Momo sniffed. “Bonolo..”

“I need a lawyer Momo. My trial is starting and..

I need a lawyer. A good one. The one I have..
she smokes weed and doesn’t know what’s
going on half of the time.”

“Bonolo I told you a lawyer there is too

expensive. Right now my husband and I have a
project we are currently handling. The last thing
we also want is to have Tefo on us.”

“I need a lawyer Momo. I don’t want to go to

jail.”

“Hopefully they just deport you.”

“They won’t! Gavin went to Canada with the kids,

I have no one. Please help me.”

“I am sorry Nolo but a lawyer is too expensive

for me.”

“After I gave you 100k to start that business you

-“

“I deserved that money. That money was

compensation for everything I went through
because of you! Tefo gave me that money not
you. Use the money you made there Bonolo and
plead guilty then ask them to deport you. I can’t
help you as long as you are there. I am sorry.”

***

Amara walked out of the mall carrying one

plastic. Her heart skipped as she looked Mrs
Mokgosi a distance away with kids. She wasn’t
in her uniform. Amara thought of taking a u-turn.

She begun to turn but Mrs Mokgosi looked at

her and smiled turning.

Amara bravely walked headed towards her car.

Mokgosi not saying a word thinking of the 200k
she was meant to pay her.
Mrs Mokgosi walked over to her. Amara froze
shaking like a leaf. She looked around scared
then looked at her shaking. She could see
herself trending again.

Mrs Mokgosi smiled.

“Hi. Oh no, don’t worry, I’m not about to fight
you in front of my kids.”

Amara moved back. Mrs Mokgosi sighed.

“I am sorry for beating you like that. You didn’t

deserve it. I should have dealt with that cheat I
call husband so for that I am truly sorry. I am
also sorry that I am suing you but I am not
doing that because of pain or anything like that
so wena just relax. He’s going to pay that
money thinking he’s saving our marriage but it’s
already over. You are. Big girl, try to be smart in
life. Men will use you if you are delusional. I
know the stories he told you but ke wena you
should have suspected something when he
kept coming up with excuses as to why he’s
staying with me. Men like hunny and the sooner
you realize that the better.”
Tears filled Anara’s eyes. Mrs Mokgosi smiled.

“Cry but you are going to have to stop and pull

yourself together.”

She rubbed her eyes. Mrs Mokgosi smiled. “Its

life. I am about to be a divorcee. My parents
don’t know what a serial cheater he was. Kana
I’d catch Romeo with a woman then he’d run off
with her, come home after several hours and
still claim to me innocent. At first I used to get
so hurt and so I joined the military and started
withdrawing. We haven’t had sex in over two
years. That day I just lost because..” She
laughed. “Tota because it’s how he’s not shy no
more to cheat in public.”
Amara blinked. “I am sorry. I truly am.”

“I know, it’s ok. Don’t stress about the 200k.

He’s going pay it. And try picking better next
time. You know he gave crappy sex.”

Amara chuckled. Mrs Mokgosi walked back to

her kids.

Amara sniffed watching her walk away with her

kids. She thought of the baby she was carrying.
Maybe she wasn’t such a bad person and
maybe… just maybe their kids could grow up
knowing one another.

She rubbed her eyes as her phone rang. She

took it out and picked.
“Hello?”

“Hi Amara, it’s Arefa.”

“Hey..”

“We called your niece’s father and just found

out he has no intention of moving to Gaborone.
He was actually shocked that you are trying to
enroll his daughter but that’s a story for another
day. I am not sure what you really want from me
but from that little stunt you pulled earlier on, I
think I have an idea. Happy Horizons is my
business and not a play ground. I don’t know
your business with Tefo but whatever you are
planning won’t work because I won’t allow it. Go
and play at Tefo Trans and not at my work of
place.”
“I was just-“

“I hope I am loud and clear.

She hung up. Amara put away her phone feeling

a bit embarrassed.

Tefo walked back to the car with Refa’s lunch.

She watched with her feet on the dashboard.
Tefo jumped in the car.

“There.”

Refa opened it smiling. “Thank you. You can

take me home.”
Tefo took out his ringing phone driving off.

“Hello?”

“Tefo, gatweng ka bail?”

“They denied it.”

“Eish, now what?”

“We carry on with the plan.”

“Ok. We will go tomorrow. You said you have

enough money right?”

Tefo laughed. “Yeah.”

“Wa mo rata akere?”

He smiled. “Yes.”

His uncle chuckled. “I loved Osa with all my

heart but this one is the woman God intended
for you my boy. I know you loved Osa but this
one… this is the girl God made for you. Osa was
there to teach you how to love a woman. She
was preparing you for this woman. A lot may
still be skeptical about her, some don’t even like
her but you see Refa… Refa is the one. Anyways,
I will get everything started.”

“Thanks.”

Tefo hung up driving with one hand. Refa

looked at him. He knew exactly what that look
was for but she quickly looked away picking a
drum stick. He put his hand on her thigh
caressing it while driving with one hand. He
parked at their house. Refa looked at him still
holding the same drum stick.

She cleared her throat and spoke “Tefo…”

“It was my uncle. Do you still think I will cheat

on you?”

She smiled shyly. “I didn’t ask anything.”

“Your eyes long did. We can fight over anything

else not unfaithfulness. Wa nkutwa baby? I
have my two kids in that house, you are their
father and I more than respect you for it.
Cheating is the lady thing I’d do.”

“Eerra.”

“Good. I will see you later. I have a meeting this

afternoon.”

He kissed her. She smiled and stepped out of

the car and walked inside the house while he
drove off. She blushed alone walking in the
house.

***

Later that day, Amara walked in her house later

that day going to her bedroom holding baby
shopping bags. She smiled alone taking them
out. She put them on the bed as her smile
slowly disappeared. She needed a job. She
hadn’t waited that long to have a baby so that
baby would struggle.

Anywhere was ok. She thought of areas she

could apply at. As much as Tefo had blocked
her from getting why job in Gaborone and with
the big companies in Gaborone, she could
definitely get something from the small
companies.

And maybe a job outside Gaborone would do

her good. She had been humiliated enough in
Gaborone and indeed it was time for a fresh
start.

She smiled getting excited of the idea.

Her phone rang. She looked at the private
number calling.

“Hello?”

“When you planned with your sister to kill my

child, what really went through your head?”

Amara took a deep breath. “Tefo I didn’t plan to

kill your child I swear. I woke up and Maya was
gone. I didn’t know that was what she went to
do. I am sorry but I didn’t do anything. I know
you are going to hate me till you die but I
promise… I didn’t do anything.

He laughed. “I like your consistency. I really do.

You have kept the same story for years now
and I was going to let it to but o tetsi masepa. I
don’t know what new trick you want to try now
getting closer to my woman but I am going to
deal with you.”

“I am sorry. I am moving away. I won’t ever

bother you or your family ever again. I am
moving –“

“I said I am going to deal with you.”

He hung up. She looked at her phone then

paused smelling something burning. She
turned and walked to the sitting room. Amara
screamed dropping her phone.

Amara looked at the fire in her sitting room and

it was moving fast.

She swallowed but something in her stomach

vibrated. She turned running back to her
bedroom where she pulled the drawer and
grabbed her travelling documents.

She ran down to the passage picking her

cracked her phone going to the kitchen. She
quickly grabbed the back keys and unlocked the
door. Her heart skipped as she looked at the
new lock on the burglar door.

She screamed. “Thusang! Thusang! Help!”

A man ran over holding a bucket. He dropped it.

“Shit! Hold on!”

Anara’s heart pounded as she coughed shaking.

The man disappeared then he ran back seconds
later with a wire with three other man.

He smiled at her.

“We thought you were dead.”

She swallowed. “I just saw the fire.”

“It’s fuel fire. It’s too fast.”

He grabbed the lock and pushed the wire inside.

She watched him shaking as he moved the key
like it was a key.

“Have you done it before?”

He chuckled. “I am a fire fighter..off duty today.

Relax … what kills people usually is panicking.
Calm down… you are not dying.”

She swallowed.
“Thabiso, you are?”

“Amara.”

Thabuso unlocked the padlock then smiled.

“Amara you are beautiful.”

He opened the burglar bar and pulled her out.

Tears filled her eyes as she turned looking at

her house on fire.

“You are safe. Nothing can compare to your life.

The rest are materialistic things. You can
always buy new ones. They just broke your car’s
window so to push it back.”
She closed her eyes crying. He hugged her as
she cried loudly.

“It’s ok Amara.”

He picked her up and walked with her to the

front houses as the neighbors continued trying
to put out the fire just as the fire truck arrived.

He walked with her to his house where he put

her in the car. He jumped in and drove off
headed to a clinic. Her cracked phone rang in
her hand.

She swiped the screen picking.

“Hello?”

“Hi. I saw your message about the baby. I never

said I wanted a baby. I am not going to have
you finish my marriage. My wife and I are
working on things. I knew you were going to be
problem, I hope you burn beyond recognition.”

“What?”

He hung up. Amara frowned. Now that she was

thinking about it, there was no way Tefo would
have acted that fast unless it has been him
personally. Now that she thought of it, it was
obviously this pig.

Of cause Tefo sounded pissed but it wasn’t

enough to have her burning in the house.
Thabuso looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

She shook her head. “Just my life problems.”

“Know anyone who maybe is a suspect?”

“Yes. Do the street cameras work?”

“No.. suspect someone?”

“Yes. My… well ex, sort off. “

“They don’t work but of you can get a

confession out of him he will be sentenced.”
“I need time. It must have been him. I told him I
was pregnant a week ago. He wasn’t that happy
and demanded I do an abortion. I refused.”

“I can help you get him.”

She looked at him and sighed. “No. I want to

move far away. It’s not safe here anymore. I am
moving away. Thank you for getting me out.”

Thabuso smiled parking at the hospital.

“Anytime.”

***

Momo looked at the results from the doctor

again walking out of the bathroom.
She smiled. Damn she was really pregnant.

She picked the transvaginal scan pictures the

doctor had given them then picked one up.

Her phone vibrated, she smiled picking.

“Hi..”

“Boss lady, there’s a woman on Facebook who

just posted you saying apparently you use
witchcraft.”

“What?”
Her employee laughed. “Yes, ebile using a fake
account and she posted screenshots of what
looks like your conversation with her talking
about getting pregnant.”

Momo chuckled. “Good, now I can report her for

being a scammer.”

“Don’t worry because everyone is dealing with

her. I was just telling you just in case.”

Momo smiled. “Thanks but I have nothing to

hide. I did engage what the her when I wanted
to get pregnant but soon realized she was
scamming me. I didn’t pay so she got angry.”

“Ene she is s a scammer. Other people are

commenting with how she scammed them.”
“Thanks for letting me know. I don’t have time
for her. I am still celebrating my wins.

***

Later that evening, Tefo tucked in the kids then

walked in the bedroom where Refa was lying on
the bed in a night dress.

“Baby kana Amara’s house is on fire.”

Tefo looked at her and frowned. “What?”

Refa nodded. “Yeah, but she’s out.”

Tefo pulled her to the edge of the bed. He
kissed her taking off her nightdress.

Refa looked at him. “She has made an

instagram post about a few exes trying to kill
her. Apparently one threatened her earlier on
then the other set her house on fire because he
might be getting divorced.”

“She has a lot of exes, you will never know.”

“No, she specifically says the one who

threatened her did it because apparently she
had a conversation with his current girlfriend.”

“Babe-“
“I told you I would handle her. I was doing just
fine threatening her gives her the attention she
wants. Now you are part of a malicious post. I
had already handled her. I need you to trust me
when I say I will handle something.”

“I am sorry. I was just annoyed but I am not

responsible for the fire. I just wanted to scare
her off.”

“I forgive you. I just don’t want this woman or

any other woman from your past being part of
our lives.”

“Eemma.”

He got in between her legs and kissed her. She

wrapped her arms around him kissing him back.
***

Tumo sat in prison. The more he thought of the

years he’d be spending behind bars, the more
he got depressed.

Tefo had every right to be angry but thought in

the past years he had made up for being the
bad guy.

He thought of his child but that child deserved a

better parent. There was no way the judge
would be lenient on him. Maybe he’d get the
death sentence.

Tumo reached for his pocket taking out a small

container with liquid inside. He swallowed and
stank it all before anyone could see then laid
down putting the letter he had written under the
pillow where anyone could find it. He took a
deep breath and waited for it.

The following morning, Tefo’s phone rang

waking up Refa. She turned and looked shaking
him.
“Babe..”

She reached for it and looked at the landline

calling. He opened his eyes. Refa handed him
his phone. Tefo picked pulling her closer.

“Hello?”

“Good morning Tefo, we are calling from first

offenders prison.”

His heart skipped and his throat immediately

dried down.

“What happened?”
“We had an emergency this morning with your
brother. He was found almost lifeless in the
early hours of the morning by other inmates.
We found poison on him and immediately
rushed him to Marina.”

He sat upright.

“Is he…”

“He is alive at Marina. You may need to come to

the hospital now.”

Tefo hung up while Refa stared at him.

“What’s wrong?”
“Tumo tried to kill himself.”

“God..”

Tefo breathed out. “I have to go and see him.”

“You don’t look too concerned.”

“I am but… if he’s going to choose to end his life

then there’s nothing I can do.”

She looked at him.

“He is your brother.”

“Sometimes you care till you run out of cares. I

don’t feel sorry for him because when he was
driven by money he didn’t feel sorry for anyone.
You get what you give in life babe.”

“He said you set him up.”

He looked in her eyes. “Do you believe that?”

“Why would he lie Tefo?”

“You tell me since you know him better. This

man killed three people in his life. On two of
those murders he accused me. I went to jail for
the second murder. He planted his evidence in
my car. So you tell me why he would lie.”

Refa took a deep breath. “I just… I am sorry.”

He kissed her.

“This is what I meant when I said I need a

woman who can stand with me. I don’t have to
explain such things to you.”

She pulled him closer. “I understand.”

“Perfect. Let me handle this.”

Tefo off the bed. A while later he walked out.

Refa stared at ceiling for a while lost in her
thoughts. She picked her phone and looked at
Amara’a post again but Tefo wouldn’t would he?

There was no way he’d burn her in the house.

She sat upright trying to piece the puzzles
together. There was something about this man
she couldn’t put her finger on. First he slept
with Lawrence’s wife to get back at Lawrence.
She had read all the messages Letty had sent
her. Watched that video. That hadn’t been just
sex.. that was degrading type of sex. Then from
Lawrence his brother‘s arrest happened. Tumo
had now changed his initial statement of saying
he had been with Tefo to he was alone and
planned the murder alone.

She bit her lower lip. Her phone vibrated ringing.

“Papa..”

“Amara, the David’s were here very early in the

morning.”
“To do what?”

“They say they are now ready. I just wanted to

find out if you are ready too.”

“Tefo sent his uncles?”

Her father laughed. “Yes.”

Refa took a deep breath. “Papa I love Tefo. I

love how cares for me and our kids. I love the
life he gives me. I love the support I get from
him. But I think he’s …” She got off bed. “I think
he does bad things to people who hurt him.”

“Bad things like what? If he loves you then

what’s the problem? Hasn’t he been good to
you so far?”

She hung up with a sigh. Her phone rang again.

“Hello?”

“Hi. Ae you free to talk? It’s Gee.”

“Oh hi.. yes.”

“I heard from Tefo’s aunt that Tefo wants to

marry you.”

Refa smiled. “So I hear.”

“Tefo is who you think he is. He is a liar, he is
evil and dangerous.”

Refa sighed. “I know you –“

“I need to ask you something. How do you think

that girl Amara got caught? For sleeping with
the COO.”

“That is non of my business.”

“It was Tefo. He had people follow her around. I

spoke to her. Do you know that Tefo is the one
who burnt her house?”

“Why would you think it’s Tefo? That girl has

her fair shares of enemies.”
“It’s him. He wanted her gone. She truly believes
it was him. He wanted her gone. I know he set
up my husband. Tumo may have killed that man
but Tefo manipulated him into doing it. And his
alibi? That he was at a hotel? You truly believe
that? He doesn’t even love you! He’s just using
you to fill the void his wife left. He’s marrying
you just for the sake of it. He never loved you.”

Refa blinked. “Ok thanks for information.”

“I am coming there. I need to talk to you. He’s

not who you think he is. He’s just…”

“Gee-“

“Please, if I am wrong you will prove me wrong.”

Refa’s phone vibrated as an incoming call came
through. She looked at Tefo calling then cut
Gee’s call picking his.

“Tefo..”

“Hey, get ready, I will be home in the next hour.

We are taking a short trip.”

“Ra kae?”

“You will find out.”

He hung up just as someone rang the intercom.

She got off bed and put on her gown. She
walked to the sitting room. She looked at the
gate footage then pressed the key and Tefo’s
uncle’s wife drove in.

She stepped out smiling.

“Hi, I am here for the kids. I have been asked to

babysit.”

Refa smiled looking at her. “Tefo called you?”

“Yes. Get the kids ready mma ke tsamaye.”

***

At Princess Marina hospital, Tefo looked at his

brother who had the oxygen mask on his face.
Tefo stared at him. Tumo slowly opened his
eyes breathing into the oxygen mask.

Tefo pulled down his mask.

“Welcome back.”

Tumo blinked tearfully. Tefo shook his head.

“You have a child.”

Tumo tried to talk but tears filled her eyes. He

looked away crying.

“I was never going to let you get away with it.”

Tumo sniffed lying on the bed helpless.

***

Gee parked her car at Letty ‘s house. She

walked out then got in. Gee looked at her.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes, is Refa on board?”

“She will get on board. We are going to pick up

Amara. I am not going to let Tefo get away with
setting up my husband. If Tumo is going to rot
in jail then he should also pay for his sins. He
must think he’s some God of some sort.. He
has messed with the wrong one.”

The following morning, Tefo’s phone rang

waking up Refa. She turned and looked shaking
him.

“Babe..”

She reached for it and looked at the landline

calling. He opened his eyes. Refa handed him
his phone. Tefo picked pulling her closer.

“Hello?”

“Good morning Tefo, we are calling from first

Refa watched as Tefo’s aunt drove off with both
kids sleeping. She walked to the bathroom
where she showered lost in her thoughts.

She stepped out moments later as her phone

rang. She looked at Gee calling.

“Hello?”

“We are outside. Open the gate.”

“I don’t know where you think you were going

but this is my home. Whatever you and those
ladies planned won’t work.”

“Refa-“
Refa hung up and called 911.

“Gaborone central police station-“

“Hi, I want to report a harassment. I have three

ladies outside my house harassing me. I need
help getting them to leave.”

***

Outside, Amara looked around with a pounding

heart. She swallowed.

“I don’t think I want to be part of this. I am

pregnant.”

Gee looked at her. “After what Tefo did to you?”

“Tefo hung my sister alive. What more will he
do to me? I am pregnant!”

Letty sighed. “We are just going to talk with

Arefa.”

“Tefo asked me to stay away from his family.”

“After burning your house and property?”

“My property was insured. I will get everything

back and move on. This is not worth it. Wena
Letty you can’t blame Tefo for breaking your
marriage when you willingly slept with him. I
don’t even understand what your anger is about
and Gee your husband murdered someone. It
doesn’t matter if he was manipulated or not.
The truth remains he did it. I regret agreeing to
this.”

Letty breathed heavily. “Tefo-“

Tefo’s car pulled up behind them. Amara ‘s

heart skipped, she opened the car door and
took off running holding her handbag.

Letty looked at her in shock as she went

through a passage and disappeared in between
houses.

Tefo stepped out of his car just as a police car

drove by.

Letty frowned as he walked back going to the

police car as they parked next to hi m.

A police office stepped out. “Boss!”

“Sure, what’s going on?”

“Someone called us reporting a harassment

case. I was close by when I got the call so I
thought I’d just check it out.”

The gate slid open then Refa walked out. She

pointed at Gee’s car.

Tefo looked at her then walked over.

“What’s going on? It’s Gee.”

“She is here to harass me.”

Tefo turned and noticed Letty in the car. The

police officer walked to their car.

“Ladies, what’s happening?”

Gee smiled. “She called the police on me?”

“I asked you a question… what’s happening.”

Gee laughed. “I am her sister in law. I am just

here to talk to her.”

“Nyaa, it seems she doesn’t want you here and

feels you are harassing her. You need to go or
else I take with to the station.”

Gee looked at Tefo as he stood by her window.

“What’s going on?”

She looked at him. “I was just here to talk to-“

“To talk about?”

She ran out of words. Tefo looked at Letty.

“And you?”

She folded her arms. Tefo looked at Refa.

“Do you want a restraining order Mrs David?”

Refa smiled. “No. Just a warning.”

The police officer looked at them.

“Let this be the last time this happens. Next

time I am arresting you.”

Gee smiled. “Of cause.”

Tefo got in his car and reversed. Gee drove off.

She slowed down seething in anger.

She picked her ringing phone.

“Hello?”

“Never call me again. I want nothing to do with

this madness. And maybe you can try accepting
the fact that your husband is a killer. He’s
always been one. He is the same person who
killed his ex wife. Acceptance is part of
healing.”

Amara hung up.

***

Tefo hugged Refa. “You ok?”

Refa looked at him and blushed. “You sent your

uncles at home?”

Tefo kissed her neck. “I told you to be patient

didn’t I?”

She wrapped her arms around him. “I love you.”

Tefo kissed her and squeezed her butt.

“I love you too.”

He reached for something in his pocket and

took out a tiny box that he opened up showing
her the diamond glittering ring.

“I know you have been unsure but I am sure.

More than sure. This is the most sure I have
been in a while.”

Tears filled her eyes as she looked at it. She put

her hands on her face crying. She looked at it
again and cried even more.

Tefo went on his knee. “I want this fresh start

with you. I want to give us and the kids a proper
chance at this family thing.”

She nodded sobbing. Tefo slid the ring on her

finger and it fit perfectly just as he thought it
would. Refa cried as he hugged her.

The police officer smiled and drove off.

***
Over an hour later, Amara filled her car and
drove off joining the A1. She took a deep breath
at the thought of going back to her parent’s
house but she had no other choice. She’d start
afresh there. She was letting everything else go.

***

In London, Bonolo tearfully looked at her lawyer

as the judge found her guilty on the count of
identity theft.

She looked down as the judge sentenced her to

two years in prison.

A Week Later…

At First Offenders Prison Gaborone, Tumo

smiled looking at his wife.

“Hi.”
Tears filled Gee’s eyes. Tumo smiled. “Hey… it’s
ok.”

She shook her head and broke down crying.

Tumo smiled sadly.

“Babe… it’s going to be ok.”

“The lawyer said minimum you can get is 15

years.”

“Listen to me… it’s ok.”

“Tefo-“
“You are not listening. Look at me.”

She slowly looked at him. Tumo smiled.

“It’s ok. 15 years is a long time. I need you to

know you are free to move on. Just because
you love it doesn’t mean you are chained to me.
One day if you ever want to find love and move
on, I will let you.”

She sniffed shaking her head. Tumo smiled.

“Stop trying to attack Tefo through his woman.

It won’t work. Refa is going to stand with her
man. I pushed him to this. He didn’t hold me at
gun point, I did kill that man and I am here
paying for my sins. I am going through
counseling. It’s the first week but I think I am
going to be ok. You have access to all my
money and the business. It’s your duty to make
sure our child is well fed.”

She looked at him as tears rolled down her

cheeks. Tumo sighed.

“I wish things were different. I really do but we

are here and there’s nothing we can do. I love
you so much. I love you more than anything and
thank you for loving me too. I will always love
you. So it’s ok..breathe babe… breathe and let
go. It’s ok.”

She looked at him crying and nodded. Tumo

took a deep breath.

“Tefo will always support you and our child. He

will never abandon you.”

She cried even more.

Tumo smiled. “Be happy.”

“I don’t want to be without you.”

“It will take adjusting.”

“He is paying magadi today. His life carries on-“

“His life should carry on. I am actually happy for

him. After Osa I thought that was it but he’s
found happiness. It’s ok baby.”
“I am angry…”

“I know. And it’s ok to be. Time is almost up. I

will see you next time. I love you.”

“I love you too. And I will wait for you.”

Tumo smiled. “I’d love that.”

The prison guard nodded at him. He waved then

turned and walked away. Gee tried to hold it in
but emotions overwhelmed her that she broke
down crying.

***

That same morning, Refa walked around with

her aunts greeting her in-laws that were filled in
the entire yard. She smiled holding on to her
tsale. Looking at all the people that had
gathered, she felt tears filling her eyes.

They were all gathered for her. She looked at

the cows in a big lorry. She moved around till
she approached Tefo. He smiled looking at her
making her blush instantly as butterflies flew in
her stomach. He got up, she looked up at him.

“Hi..”

Tefo kissed her cheek. “Hey, you look beautiful

Mrs David.”

He wrapped his arms around her hugging her

tightly. She breathed in his cologne holding on
to him.

Tefo released her then tilted her chin and kissed

her lips. She kissed him back as the aunt’s
ululated then she looked down shyly.

Rragwe Refa smiled proudly. The entire

community was there witnessing his beautiful
daughter as she got married.

The photographer hired stood a distance away

taking pictures at the perfect angles.

Tefo kissed her neck. “I love you.”

She smiled emotionally. “I love you too.”

***

In Orapa, Momo sat outside on her parent’s

house pouch scrolling through her Facebook.
She paused at a video and laughed watching.

The video paused as her phone rang. She

smiled.

“Couzie..”

“Hey, I just forwarded you a job post on

WhatsApp.”

“Ok, let me open it.”

“How are you?”

“I am ok. I am waiting for the insurance pay
out.”

“I hope this doesn’t delay your healing progress

but Tefo paid Refa’s magadi today.”

“I blocked him so I see nothing of his. I don’t

care anymore. I moved away from him so to
start afresh.”

“I understand but I didn’t want you getting

shocked to see it on his timeline. It was a fancy
gathering.”

“I don’t care. I’d appreciate it if we never spoke

about him or his wife. Let them be happy away
from me.”
“Ok love. Sorry for bringing him up.”

“Its ok. Let’s talk about the job poster.”

Her cousin chuckled. “I love this new you.”

Amara smiled. “Give me a few years and you

will see how I rise.”

***

In Gaborone, Momo walked out of the filling

station holding two energy drinks then jumped
in the car. Bokani kissed her starting the car.
“You sure you have our passports babe?”

Momo laughed. “I do. I have everything. Drive to

the boarder monna modimo. I just want to see
myself in Sun City.”

She took a short video and opened her

Facebook to post it but the first thing she saw
was Refa’s new profile picture wearing a
German print dress with a tsâle over shoulders
and a head wrap.

Momo smiled opening the comments and

everyone was congratulating her.

Momo liked the picture and commented.

Momo: Mrs Natefo David has entered the

Refa replied to her comment.

Refa: Thank you 💕

Momo posted her video and smiled putting her

Ten Years Later…

Tefo wrapped up a meeting then walked out

picking a phone call.

“Hello?”

“Tefo, ke Malvin, I have a deal with the big guys

worth 3 million and we need a company as big
as yours.”

“I told you I don’t want such business.”

“Look I know.. but it’s worth it. You get a million

from it.”

“I am not doing it again. My company is still

getting investigated for that nonsense.”

“Tefo-“

“I am not doing it. Get someone else. I built that

business from scratch.”

“Ok, 1.5 million.”

“No.”

Tefo hung up and called his wife.

“Babe..”

“I am done, I am coming to pick you up.”

“Ok, baby therra get me a sunscreen ha clicks. I

will send you pictures . If they don’t have it go to
dischem.”

“Mrs David can’t you get your PA to get it? I

don’t want around the mall for you to say I got
the wrong thing.”
“I am sending you pictures. You will them that,
thank you.”

He walked out taking out his car keys from his

jacket.

***

At Airport Junction Mall, Amara walked with her

daughter inside the mall.

“Mama are we getting your face things?”

Amara laughed. “Yes, and a few clothes for our

trip.”

Her daughter smiled. “I told all my friends I am

going to Seattle. Are we going to stay there
forever and ever?”

“If mommy gets the job, yes.”

“Oh man I hope you get the job.”

They walked inside a store. Amara walked right

to her moisturizer and picked it from the shelf
while her daughter looked around. Amara
turned to walk to the till and frowned locking
eyes with Tefo who had just walked inside the
shop.

Her daughter picked a packet of nuts.

“Mama! Can we get this too?”

Tefo walked over putting away his phone. She
took a deep breath and held her daughter’s had
moving back.

Tefo smiled. “Hi.”

Amara smiled back. “Hey..”

He looked at her daughter and damn he could

see his father on her.

“She looks like him.”

“I know.”
“Good job on keeping her away.”

“I am in Gaborone in passing, I –“

“I am over what happened in the past. You can

come back if you want to.”

“No. Moving outside Botswana was the best

thing to ever happen to me.”

“I am glad you found your footing. You look

pretty by the way. Bye.”

He walked away. Amara pulled his hand.

“Tefo wait…”
He turned. “Yeah?”

“Why was it not me? You chose Osa, why?”

“I loved her.”

“Besides that. You know there had to be a

reason that…” She took a deep breath. “Just tell
me. Was I boring?”

Tefo smiled. “No. Our sex was actually nice. I

liked being with you. Besides me loving Osa
there was nothing wrong with you. Of cause you
were a bit insecure but it came with the fact
that I was in a relationship with a broken
woman.” He sighed. “I know I hurt you, I could
have done better and I am sorry. I am so sorry
for breaking your heart Amara.”

Tears filled her eyes. He carried on.

“I am sorry for the hurt I put you through. You

were not bitter but just hurt. You moved on
right?”

She sniffed. “I don’t trust anyone.”

“Not everyone will treat you the way I treated

you or your other exes. Don’t push away good
men because of what you went through. Admit
you were hurt, admit you were broken then you
work on healing. I know this because I lived with
hurt for a long time..I was angry and thought by
hurting those who hurt me, I’d be better. I did it
and it still felt the same. Admitting your pain is
the first step.”

Amara rubbed her eyes. “Thanks. How’s ..

Refa?”

“She’s fine. Sharp akere?”

She nodded. Tefo walked away picking up a call.

“Mrs David… yeah I’m in the shop. Where is it

again? SPF what?..…”

Amara watched him walk away talking to his

wife. She looked at her daughter who had
picked a few more snacks.

Amara sighed. “Ok, let’s go baby.”

She walked with her daughter to the till where
she paid then they walked out headed to her car.

***

Momo took a deep breath at the prison.

Minutes later she watched as Bonolo walked
over. Momo smiled happily. Bonolo laughed.

“O smiler eng?”

“At last!”

Bonolo laughed as they hugged. Momo giggled.

“It’s over..”

Bonolo sniffed moving back. “Yeah, did you talk

to Gavin?”

“Yes, he will be flying in next week with the kids.

His wife will also be coming.”

“I don’t care. I can’t to see my babies.”

Momo smiled. “I managed to get you a house,

it’s fully furnished. Also I got you a small car to
just help move you around.”

Bonolo looked at her and smiled. “Why do you

still love me?”
Momo laughed. “Because you are my sister and
I love you.”

Bonolo bit her lower lip and sniffed. “I am

sorry.”

Momo cupped her face. “I long forgave you.”

Bonolo hugged her crying. Tears filled Momo’s

eyes as well.

“I love you so much. You are my only sister.”

Bonolo laughed crying. “I love you too.”

Momo moved back wiping her face. “You lost

weight.”
Bonolo chuckled. “Got back in shape. I love your
short hair.”

“Me too. I feel I look younger with it. I also got

you clothes. Refa’s boutique should be
delivering them today.”

Bonolo looked at her. “Refa? Refa David?”

“Yes, she’s my friend. And she’s a very good

stylist.”

They got in the car. Bonolo sighed.

“Let’s pass by the salon first. I have been

waiting for this day for years.”
Momo laughed driving off headed to the salon.

At first offenders prison, Tumo happily looked

at Gee who had come to see him.

“Hey..”

Gee smiled. “Hi.. I got a call from the lawyer

and… he’s appealing.”

Tumo smiled. “Yeah but… it’s just an appeal.”

“Have faith. Imagine how happy everyone would

be.”

“I know. How is your husband?”

She looked at him. “He is fine. He is waiting

outside.”

Tumo smiled. “Thank him for me… for bringing

you today.”

Gee sadly looked at him. “I will always love

you.”

Tumo smiled. “I love you too. But he’s there

with you and can love you better. Knowing he
makes you happy makes me happy. He also
loves my child. He’s the real deal.”
Gee laughed. “You will find someone too.”

“I hope so. Go now, he’s waiting.”

She smiled then walked away. Tumo walked

back to his cell where he took out his phone
and called his brother.

“Tumo..”

“Hi, Gee was just here. You called her?”

“Yes.”

“Thanks. It felt good seeing her.”

“She still loves you. Once you are out of there,
we are getting her back.”

Tumo laughed. “Wa tsenwa. This guy has been

good to my child.”

“So? The lawyer thinks it can end up being just

15 years not 25.”

Tumo smiled. “I have to go.”

“Cool, we will talk.”

Tumo hung up and joined the other inmates on

a conversation.

Tefo parked his car then his youngest son ran

out.

“Daddy!”

Tefo stepped out and picked him up. “Hey

buddy!”

His daughter ran out with Junior. Tefo laughed

picking them all up.

His wife walked out wearing a short floral dress.

Tefo put his kids down they got in the car. He
wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
“Hi.”

Refa smiled. “We are ready.”

“I missed you.”

Refa giggled. “I missed you too.”

Tefo looked at the time.

“They can wait for a few minutes. Ta kwano.”

“Tefo-“

He picked her up and walked with her inside the

house. He lifted her dress as her phone rang.
She picked.

“Hi..”

Mmagwe Osa laughed. “My girl, waitse your

things just came.”

Refa smiled as Tefo pulled out her panty. “I will

collect it next week when I come back.”

“Ok. Lewa called..she wants to talk to you.”

“I have nothing to say to that woman. I hope

she knows and understands why I want her far
from my children and husband.”
“Of cause.”

Tefo unzipped his pants standing her. Refa

hung up and took a deep breath.

“I am pregnant.”

Tefo paused. “What?”

She turned to him. “5 months and it’s a girl.”

He looked at her and laughed. “Are you serious

baby?”

She smiled and nodded. “Yes. I know that a

baby is not in our-“
“Yes!”

He picked her up and twirled with her while she

laughed.

He looked at her and kissed her. “Fuvk thank

you!”

Refa smiled in relief. “I was so scared.”

“We could have more kids and I wouldn’t mind.”

“No..this one is the last one.”

Tefo kissed her again. “More reason to have

sex… we need to celebrate.”

She laughed as he laid her on the couch then on

too of her and gently squeezed himself in.

“Fuvk I love you…”

Refa closer her eyes taking it all in. He kissed

her putting her in position and made love to her.
A while later they both walked out and got in the
car. Tefo drove off. He looked at Refa who
smiled.

“Thank you.”

Refa smiled. “I love you too.”

 Tefo rubbed her thigh driving with one hand. He
took a deep breath and looked at his kids. Of
cause it still felt like a piece was missing but he
could live with it. Tefo smiled catching her
staring. She wasn’t Osa but he loved her. That’s
all that mattered. She gave him purpose…
purpose to remain on his good side.
