“Vuka ilanga loze lingene kwizinqa”

That was my mother I woke up and looked at the time it 9 in the morning I went back to sleep it’s still

I was now woken up by a bucket of water I quickly sit up straight and I gasped for air.

Amahle : mama kanti sekuyaliwa yini

Amahle : cha ma ngyabuza nje

I said rolling my eyes

Mama : ukweqela mina amehlo ngizokubhibiza , ngifuna uyothenga ukudla asinaso isishebo

Yimike u Amahle Mthethwa ingane Ka Zimbili I’m 22 years old

I went to brush my teeth and took a bath . I decided to wear my ripped jean and white crop top with my
Nike sneakers . I took a taxi to town one thing about me is that I hate taking taxi’s shame.

I was now picking up things that were written on a grocery list . I dropped a koo tin and it fell over a man
next to me

Amahle : nxese bhuti

This man just kept quit and gave me my koo tin back and walked away . I payed for my grocery and went
out to look for a taxi I passed this Range Rover and a owner of the car rolled down he’s window .

It’s a guy that I dropped the tin over . I pretended as if I did not see him . He drived towards me and
stopped

Guy : uzowenze ngathi awungiboni ?

He kept a straight face

Amahle : angikwazi

Guy : faka inombolo yakho .

Amahle : ngithe ngiyaxolisa

I went to the kitchen and started cooking . Ayike ngiyalishaya ibhodwe bandla I love cooking. After I was
done cooking a message came in .

“Phuma ngingaphandle” .I replied “ngize ngiphume uwubani wena? “ Another message came in

Hawe shwele umuntu ulimaze uhlanya la. I went outside he’s Range Rover was 3 houses away from

make me feel so uncomfortable since they short it’s like I’m wearing a underwear only.

I quickly went to bed and got undercovers

Amahle : you will sleep on the couch

Guy : angikuzwa ?

Guy : wozo kusho la lokho angizwa .

He sat at the corner of the bed and unbottened he’s shirt I felt like covering my face but I won’t cause I’ll
look stupid

Guy : wozothoba leli popo

This guy is being dramatic over nothing. I boiled water then came back with a cloth. I started moving it
around he’s popo (where it swollen) .

I was standing between he’s legs I felt he’s hands touching my thighs

Amahle : I think that enough

I said rushing to get undercovers he went to the toilet and came out wearing he’s Boxer’s only . I
pretended as if I was sleeping

Guy : hlehla

I ignored him . He then pushed me and got in bed . He wrapped he’s hands around my waist I tried
moving but he was stronger than me so I gave in .

After that I walk away .

*Vusikhaya*

From the moment i saw Amahle I knew she was the right one for me . Ngimdinga ephithiza emabaleni o
Mvelase.

I don’t think she understands how much I love her and need her to be mine. She keeps making things
hard for me , bathi uthando ludinga umuntu one sneke , ngizombekezelela

*Amahle*

Fezile walked hand to hand with her husband , they look cute together.

Amahle : sanibonani , Nisale kahle .

Fezile : Amahle

She let go of her husband hand come to me .

Fezile : I’m having my 8th anniversary party this Saturday please come .

Amahle : thank you , I will come

The week was long but finally it’s has come to an end . After work I head straight home . I went to room
changed into my PJ’s. I then made my way to the kitchen. I cooked macaroni and cheese with striped
chicken then dished up for everyone . I served abantu abadala (granny/Uncle) since they were the only
one around I put my mom’s in the microwave .

I washed the dishes after we finished our food. I then went to my room . I don’t know if I even have
something to wear tomorrow.

I woke up at 11am and went to brush my teeth then took a shower . I made cereal for myself.

After I was done I went to my room to look for something I’ll wear today . I took out a black leather skirt
with a white crop top then wore my Nike sneakers.

I tied my hair backwards . I look at myself in the mirror .I smile at myself something reminded me of dad
I dropped a tear.

Dad died in a car accident while going to work “ Uligijimile ibanga lakho Nyambose Qhubeka uphumule”
I sniff and wipe my nose.

A message from Vusi came in “ngingaphandle”

I get inside he’s car and he drove off. The way he was speeding! I wanted to cry shame.

We arrived minutes later. Vusi asked to hold my hand I let him be. We joined the others. Fezile looked
beautiful I must say.

Vusi : bafor maduze ngizohamba enyathelweni zakho.

Ntsika : shesha uyaguga .

Vusi : Nangu umakoti wami, ngilinde yena athi angihambise izinkomo manje

He says pointing at me.

I didn’t mind him . A man with a familiar face kept looking at me and vusi.

Amahle : ngisaya ekitchen ngyothola into yokuphuza.

I went to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of orange juice then sat down and kept busy with my
phone.

Someone walked in I didn’t bother looking up it’s could be one of the guest. A door closes I look up it’s
the guy with the familiar face.

He leans on a door and looks at me

Him : mehlo madala

Fuck I now recognise him . Nkosi what brings him here. ?

Nkosi : wenzanani no Vusi Mahle ?

Amahle : awuhlangene ndawo .

I don’t know why I’m giving him attitude but I feel like he deserves it’s. I get up i walk towards the door
but he holds my hand

Nkosi : ngithe wenzanani no Vusi

Amahle : awuhlangene

Nkosi : ungowami Amahle

He says in a serious tone.

Amahle : ngicela ukuhamba.

Nkosi : imfishane lento oyigqokile

Amahle : ungazi hluphi ke ngakho

Someone opens a door I quickly remove my hand from Nkosi and vusi appears .

Vusi : bhuti

Nkosi : Bafor

Vusi : usuhlanganile no mama wezingane zami ngyabona

He says smiling .

Nkosi : impela .

He excuses himself , I’m left with vusi

Vusi : ukahle?

Amahle : yes , let’s go outside

I was helping fezile to clean the house since , the guy’s wanted to carry on with the party at the club

Vusi : Nkosi awuhambi bafo?

Nkosi : ayi cha bafo ngiyasala

He says going to the guest room. Vusi is so drunk infact everyone in here is drunk except for me. Nkosi
is a bit tipsy

Fezile goes to her room and comes back with a night dress for me .

Fezile : let me go sleep .

Amahle : sleepwell
I go to Vusi’s room and I lay in bed . I take my phone and log into WhatsApp and check messages. My
WhatsApp is very dry shame I put my phone under the pillow and see a t-shirt it’s must be Vusi’s. I take
it’s and smell it. I take off the night dress and decided to wear vusi t-shirt

I look myself at the mirror and think of what vusi said . Mrs Mthembu . I laugh at myself. A door opens

“Iskibha sami leso “

I turn around to meet Nkosi’s face.

Amahle : ngyaxolisa

He comes closer and holds my waist .

Nkosi : wenzani Kimi Mahle ?

Amahle : angazi ukuthi ukhuluma ngani

I say looking down trying to avoid eye contact.

Nkosi : ngibuka

He says lifting my face up , he leans in for a kiss and I kiss him back. He pushes me In bed , and takes off
the t-shirt I’m wearing he suck’s my nipples. He tries taking off my panty but I stop him

Amahle : Nkosi suka Kimi.

I say pushing him , he got off me and walked out not saying anything .I guess I pissed him off .

I got undercovers and fell asleep. I was woken up by loud Voices probably Vusi and Ntsika. Vusi walks in
he’s drunk shame . He takes off he’s shirt and jean and get in bed . I was pretending as if I was sleeping.

Vusi : Manyambose

I keep quiet

Vusi : ngyazi Awulele Amahle

Amahle : vusi sokhuluma ekuseni

Vusi : Ngiyakuthanda

Insert 5

I woke up and Vusi has already left for work. And snothile is at grandparents place so I’ll have to wait for
vusi to take me home . I’m the house keeper today cool . I laugh at myself.

I go to the bathroom and shower then wore my leather skirt I open Vusi’s walk- in closet and take out a
shirt I’ll wear.

I head down stairs I starting cleaning the house humming Beyonce’s song 1+1
“If i ain’t got nothing I got you ,

If I ain’t got something I don’t give a damn

Cause I got it with you , I don’t know much about you boy but I know 1+1 equals 2”

“Uculela mina angithi?”

Hawu I thought I was alone . I don’t know why this one is always sneaking up on me.

Amahle : cha bhuti

I go to the kitchen to make something to eat.

Nkosi : ngilambile

I ignore him .

I make food for him and serve him

Nkosi: kuyaguqa munika indoda ukudla , ayimelwa indoda

Amahle : umfazi wakho oyowenza njalo

I say walking away .

Amahle : intoyokuphuza uzoyidinga ?

Nkosi : I beer

Nkosi : Mahle ?

He says in a low voice , he’s holding my waist , sending shivers in my body .

Amahle : yebo

I wipe my hands and turn around.

Nkosi : ngiyakufuna

He says whispering in my ear. He kisses my neck , shit my feelings are betraying.

Nkosi :Ngiyakuthanda Hlangalezwe

He looks me in my eyes and at this moment I can feel that I’m wet. He picks me up place me on a
kitchen counter.

Nkosi :awungithandi yini wena ?

Honestly I can’t Stop him right now cause I enjoy what he’s doing , what he’s making me feel. He slides
my panties to the side and start rubbing my clit with he’s thumb. I Moan he’s name .

He’s middle finger enters my womanhood. He holds my face and kiss me , stopping me from moaning .
“Shit” he curses

“Nkosiyezwe!”

A voice said

“Fuck” he looks down .

Moyogcwele ngithathe njengamanje ! Angikwazi ukuphoxeka okunje . I can’t even look up I got off from
the kitchen counter and look down

Ntsika : ngilandele

Nkosi : yebo bhuti

Ntsika walks away . Nkosi’s manhood has risen i look away fast .

Nkosi : sokhuluma yezwa?

I just nodded , cause no word’s from my mouth will come out right now.

Nkosi : ngiyakuhlonipha Ndaba kodwa u Amahle ngowami .

Ntsika : ungangitsheli amanyala mina. Suka phambi kobuso bami

He walks out .

*Nkosiyezwe*

Amahle knows how to make me feel like a man , he brings out the man in me , Ngowami uyena muntu
wesifazane oyawandisa amagceke akwami .

I found her at the sitting room bitting her nails , she must be scared and embarrassed of what

Amahle : yebo

Amahle : byee

My favourite song came in “work work “ by Rihhana I started swaying my lips twerking . A man came
from behind and held my waist I started twerking .

My family was happy to see me mom couldn’t believe that I’m getting married , “ivila konke getting

*Amahle*

He start the car and we took off . He’s eye’s are red , he stops the car in the middle of the road . I can
see tears rolling down he’s chicks .

He quickly wipes he’s tears . He connect he’s phone for music . Bruno Mars play’s “when I was your
man”

“I should’ve bought you flowers

And held your , should’ve gave you all my hours when I had the chance”

Vusi : I hope Nkosiyezwe treat you well .

I kept quiet this Bruno Mars song made me feel bad .

“I just want you to know , I hope he buys you flowers , I hope he holds your hand , give you all he’s hours
when he has the chance”
He holds my hand and squeeze it’s . I drop a tear I wipe my eye’s. I don’t want to feel this way , I don’t
want to see Vusi in this state.

He parks few house’s away from my house. He got off and opens a door for me . He seems weak .

Amahle : let’s go to your house

He looked at me for a while then closed the door .

Insert 9

I was in the kitchen making something to eat for Vusi . I keep stealing glances at him , he doesn’t talk
much . After I’m done I serve him .

mourning for someone that is still alive .
