at home that wasn't the situation i feel around
until i feel something i bring it close to my nose

Doda must have put it here just incase i couldn't
find it amongst the many things he bought. I get
out of the shower put on another gown and
walk out of the bathroom into the bedroom and
out into the passage. "Doda" i shout I hear
footsteps "mihlola usuyi jwayele nini indoda

done is respect her. "I'm sorry i was just calling
him to come close the tap for me" - me She
pushes me out the way harshly "suka I'll do it" -
her I'm now standing by the bedroom door

for me" - me "Wena uzongihlanyisa yazi you've
only been here for one day but he's already
spending our money on you" - her She clicks
her tongue and walks out i close the door after
her. I feel around the bed my hand finds what

soo bright that it's blocking my view there's
somebody walking towards me it's my mom
she's soo beautiful her skin is glowing she's
kissed by the afternoon sun she's dressed in a
bright yellow dress it's flowing and it suites her
death becomes her I've never seen her in real
life but this is what my imagination drew up of
her i know it's not too far off because i used to
love touching her face when i was young to feel
every angle and every line that there is on her
face to measure the size of her eyes Sponsored
to measure the size of her eyes mouth nose
and ears just soo that i could at least have an
idea of what she looks like and now here she is
infront of me she's reaching out her hand i
hesitate to take it and i take one step back.
"fear not my child take my hand and walk with
me" - mom Tears roll down my face i take her
hand "mama I've missed you soo much i need
you soo much why did you have to leave me so
soon" - me. I lay on her shoulder she strokes
my hair i feel soo safe right now. "i didn't leave
you mntanam and I'll never leave you i might
not be physically there anymore but i am there
in spirit I'll never leave your side" she says I
raise my head and look into her eyes they are
soo beautiful they give me hope. "mama i want
to go with you take me with you i want to be
with you forever" - me She raises my chin with
her finger. "it's not time yet my love you still
have a lot to live for i can't take you with me but
protectbyou is what I'll do i won't let you suffer
and asoze ngikukhohlwe I've got your back
always and everything that will bother you it will
seize to exist" - her "mah what do you mean" -
me She smiles and she now has a white cloth
in her hand she comes close to me. "come
closer my child let me wipe your eyes come
closer let me give you your sight for you to see i
had to be sacrificed and rightfully soo because i
can't not emphasize enough on how much i
love you I'd do anything for you" - her She
wipes my face with her cloth and kisses me on
the cheek then she starts to walk away. "mah
don't leave me" i say She just keeps on walking
i pull her dress she turns around and gently
pushes me off then continues walking she
walks in to the sunset she's disappearing slowly
i get up and run after her I'm running i keep on
running ouch i trip fall and hit my head it's lights
out what the fuck just happened. I open my
eyes they feel soo heavy i still have a horrible
headache i just had the weirdest dream i look

Insert 7 OBA'S POV It's really dark but for some
reason i see perfectly i jump out of the bed i
can't believe my eyes i can see I'm now
shouting laughing and crying at the same time.
The door opens. "Oba yindaba what's going on
are you okay" - Doda I'm still histerical and
paying no attention whatsoever to him I'm
pacing up and down the room like a crazy
person. He comes close to me and has my face
between his hands my head is slightly raised
because he's taller than me I'm now looking at
him i can see him his chocolate brown skin
perfect white teeth brown eyes thick lips he's
completely bald but has a nice full connecting
beard he's not muscular but he's also not out of
shape PERFECT that's the word. I'm lost in my
thoughts he snaps he's fingers twice i snap out
of it. "i can see" i say in a low and calm voice
He looks deep into my eyes he looks shocked
Minenhle is now standing at the door with her
arms folded and a bored expression on her
face. "but how so you just woke up and you just
somehow could see" - him I nod my head "I'm
coming wait here" he say Like I'll go anywhere
vele I will wait he runs out of the bedroom
Minenhle clicks her tongue and walks away
Doda comes in and kneels in front of me he has
a small flash light in his hand he shines it
directly in my left eye first and then my right eye
he instructs me to follow his finger as he swings
it from left to right i do that perfectly he stands
up and claps his hands once. "it's true what
they say there's a first time for everything i can't
believe it you can actually see" - him He
stretches out his arms i guess he wants me to
hug him soo i do. He smiles and starts to walk
away. "get some sleep okay" - he says He turns
off the lights and closes the door i quickly run
and turn the lights on i get in bed and close my
eyes but then i open them again why would i
wanna see darkness ever again when there's
soo much to look at. Thank you mama i whisper
I'm tired soo eventually i fall asleep. I'm woken
up by the sound of birds cherping outside i feel
like I've been born again i feel different I'm
happier than I've ever been before i get out of
bed and take some time to admire the room i
sleep in there are soo many things I've never
seen before the room itself is very big i see a
door I'm gonna assume it leads to the bathroom
i do really need to pee soo i walk towards the
door and open it would you look at that just as i
thought it's the bathroom as i sit on the toilet
peeing i see a full body mirror in front of the
shower then i remember ukuthi I've never seen
what i look like Sponsored i wipe my chicken
berito and get up i walk towards the mirror
slowly because I'm nervous i never thought this
moment would come i get infront of the mirror i

of my comfort zone here i keep looking over my
shoulder I'm uneasy i see a car approach I'm
getting nervous no I'm lying I'm getting scared
I've never done this before two big tall men step
out the car and start walking in my direction
okay Mini breath in breath out calm down act
tough its game time they knock on my window i
open the window the guy signals with his hand
for me to step out the car soo i do. "do you have
the money" -guy 1 I take the bag out of the
trunk and give it to him "that's half of the money
the other half you'll get when the job is done" -

open the gate as i drive in i notice that the lights
in the house are still on shit i pray that Doda
isn't as pissed as i expect him to be i park the
car in the garage and walk in through the
kitchen door it's soo quiet as soon as i close the
kitchen door he walks into the kitchen he looks
at me from head to toe i look down
"uphumaphi" - him He looks really angry
"sthandwa sami i was with Luhle and Phili we
had a few drinks we were having soo much fun
i lost track of time ngiyaxolisa" - me My voice
sounds shaky i don't sound very convincing i
seriously need to work on my acting skills. He
comes close to me and bends down just a bit
he now has his face close to mine. "you don't
smell like alcohol and you don't seem tipsy at
all" - him He then pushes my shoulder with so
much force i almost fall but i manage to
maintain my balance "athi she drank all night
and lost track of time yet ngiyamphusha
uyavuka njengo undertaker" - him He says in a
mocking tone and all of a sudden I'm having a
hard time breathing he's clenching my throat
he's strangling me. "it's funny how you say you
were with Luhle yet i called her to ask if she'd
seen you today do you want to know what she
said" he says I have tears rolling down my face
i can't even scream he tightens the grip on my
throat and then repeats "do you want to know
what she said" him I nod my head while tears
go all the way down to my neck I'm dying. "she
said she hasn't seen you in weeks wenza bani
islima Minenhle usuyangi febela usulala
namanye amadoda uthi uyangithanda kodwa
uhambe uwaneka noma ikuphi amathanga
akho sies man" - him He says this and spits on
the floor he lets my throat go and walks away i
fall as soon as he lets go it hurts so bad i take
out a piece of frozen meat and put it on my
neck to relieve the pain. I know what you're
thinking and no i won't leave him because he
beats me leave him for who?. He didn't always
hit me or treat me like this this side of him i
only started seeing four years into the
relationship by then i was already in love with
him and with his flaws i accept him he hasn't hit
me in a while we were doing fine before that
bitch stepped foot into this house she'll know
me. NARRATED The next day Doda wakes up
early as usual and goes to work after Doda
leaves Minenhle takes a bath and heads to the
mall while leaving the gate open
mam'Azonotha who is their house help was
supposed to come today but Minenhle told her
not to come because they are going out of
town. Oba is alone in the huge mansion and
she doesn't even know it because she's still
sleeping remember it's still early early so she's
still within her sleeping rights. A car pulls up at
the gate it's a black jeep wrangler with tinted
windows two men jump out wearing all black
but not coverings their faces the one guy pulls
the gate with his hand it easily opens he starts
walking up the driveway while the other guy
waits for him at the gate when he gets to the
door he slowly pushes the door open he then
signals the guy at the gate to come they both
walk in their car is now parked in the driveway
they finally get to Oba's door and open it.
OBA'S POV "inja ememezayo inja efayo" a
voice says harshly i open my eyes to find two
men that I've never seen before in my room my
heart stops beating for one second what the
heck is going on. "angina lutho angina mali

hands up I'm now sitting on the bed with my
very inappropriate nightie on. "fuseg fuseg

He then pulls me out of bed and grabs my arm
harshly I'm crying and screaming Sponsored
I'm scared "shut up shut the fuck up" - guy 2 He
slaps me i fall down the other guy comes
towards me with something in his hand he puts
something over my head and ties it around my
neck i can't see anything anymore I'm still
fighting and screaming I'm now being carried by
one of the men. "awuyeke lento oyenzayo if you
continue screaming in that bag you'll suffocate
yourself but then again if you wanna kill yourself
then go ahead" a different voice says. I don't
want to die i have to calm down i have to be
quiet because i can already feel the oxygen
becoming less so i sit still and keep quiet I'm in
the middle of two people so i can't even attempt
to open the car door and fall out and trust me
when i say i was gonna do it if i die i die.
There's dead silence in the car nobody is
saying anything the car finally stops they
remove the thing from my head where the fuck

ground i hurt my elbow he bends down and
brings his face close to mine. "your God where

huge house on top of the hill nah I'd rather work
as a doctor live on a doctor's salary and behave
accordingly i don't want people getting
suspicious i don't want people snooping around
my personal life i don't want drama period. I bet
you're wondering were all the money comes
from khululeka you'll find out soon enough okay

until i see the two men dragging Oba out of the
room and the other guy slapping her i feel my
fists harden they push Oba into the car and
drive off. "Ngubane akekho uMinenhle lana

and walks out he doesn't greet Minenhle he is
pretending like she's not even here I'm not

uneasy.

Insert 11 OBA'S POV The sun is soo hot i can

feel it even though I'm in the back of a truck I've
been here for soo long that I've started dripping
sweat because of the heat in here its like I'm
locked up inside a big tin and being left to fry.
The truck has been moving for the longest time
i wonder where these people are taking us I've
just started my life on a new page i don't want
to die I'm scared for my life. The truck finally
stops we are all dragged out and made to stand
in a line one of the guys does a headcount and
writes it down he then askes if anyone of us has
never had sex before i think i should raise my
hand maybe this might actually get me off the
hook nobody wants an inexperienced prostitute
if that's what we're gonna be. I raise my hand
its only me who has my hand raised and now i
wish I'd kept it down. "wena step forward" the
guy says i do as I'm told i step forward he then
puts all the other girls in groups of five I'm just
standing here alone without a group he then
takes my hand and writes R500 000 and writes
R300 000 on all the other girls what the fuck
these people are going to sell us like we're
some kind of objects i look around i don't
recognize the place that we're in it looks like
we're in a foreign country but nah i doubt they
could get a whole truck filled with kidnapped
girls out of South Africa and into another
country without being noticed after being put in
groups and being priced imagine being priced .
"everybody back in the truck" - guy 1 I'd rather
stay out here and be baked by the sun than to
go back in that stinking truck. I start walking
towards the truck with all the other girls one of
the men grabs my wrist. "you're coming with
me" - guy 2 I try to pull my wrist out of his hand
but i fail "please let me go i want to go with the
other girls" - me "Ntombazane these are not
your friends do you know them? did you come
with them? Now stop with the temper tantrums"
- him I'm still protesting i refuse to let him go
with me just like that. As I'm busy fighting this
guy the truck drives off there's a car coming our
way its a big BMW X6 the windows are tinted i
can't see the person inside the car stops right in
front of us this idiot picks me up and throws me
in the back seat like I'm a piece of steak he gets
in the car and sits next to me with his hand still
on my wrist very tightly a white guy is driving
the car he's wearing an all black suite with a
white shirt and he's hair neatly combed he
doesn't say a word to me or the guy I'm with
he's focused on the road as we're driving to i
don't know where i notice that the city is
different the number plates on the cars are
different I'm not in south African but the big
question is where am i i see a big billboard with
the words "Nigerian beauty" next to a picture of
a model dressed in a swim suite with the colors
green and white like the Nigerian flag i don't
need anymore clues I'm in Nigeria I've been
illegally smuggled into another country like a
bag of drugs. We've been on the road for a
short while when we arrive at this big gate it's
written ABUBHEKI RESIDENCE with big letters
the driver rolls down the window and punches
in some security code the gate opens i see this
big house its got lots of stairs that go up to the
front door and two security guards on either
side of the door this idiot pulls me out of the car
we start walking towards the door when we
walk into the house i can't help it my jaw drops
the inside of the house is more beautiful than
the outside there's white furniture everywhere
the curtains are charcoal they go all the way up
to the ceiling the house has very high walls
there's also a big chandelier in the middle of the
staircase.... okay enough about the house after
all this isn't top billing I've got bigger problems.
As i look around a beautiful tall woman wearing
a majestic red silky dress with thin straps walks
down the stairs it's like the world started to
move in slow motion she finally gets to the last
step and then reaches out her hand to the idiot
that brought me here he rushes to her side he
takes her hand and kisses it then helps her get
down the step Sponsored she starts walking
towards me then starts walking around me
slowly. "i see you've finally found the one" - her
What does she mean by the one "yes Madame i
have found what you've been looking for" - idiot
She stops in front of me and looks straight into
my eyes "is she pure" - her She says this while
lifting my chin up with her index finger "yes
she's pure and she comes at a very reasonable
rate" - him I'm just standing here listening to
people talking about me like im not here. "do
you think he'll like her" - she says She now has
a smirk on her face "it doesn't get any better
than this he has to like her" - him Who are they
talking about exactly "Jennifer" - she shouts A
short lady quickly runs into the room dressed in
a maids outfit she bends her head down and
doesn't make eye contact with this so called
Madame. "get my phone it's in my room" - her
The lady runs off and quickly returns with the
phone. "hello my love...... Yes he's here he
brought the girl..... Please make the
payment..... Okay.... I love you..." she drops the
phone. A few seconds after that the idiots
phone vibrates he takes it out of his pocket and
looks at the screen he smiles and looks at
Madame. " it's always a pleasure doing
business with you" - him He walks out the door
and just leaves me with this woman. "come on
darling chin up don't look so scared i am thee
great Madame ABUBHEKI and i am the key to
a better future" - Madame I look at her i don't
really know what to say I'm here against my will
and she's here talking to me about a future i just
keep quiet and look at her. "come with me you
need to look good for Charles he can't find you
looking like this" - her I follow her upstairs she
leads me to the bathroom i really do need this
bath i haven't felt water on my skin in days. I
take a bath and open the mirror there are
lotions toothbrushes and all that i need in there.
I'm now clean and i smell good i wrap myself in
a towel and open the bathroom door only to find
Madame sitting in a chair in front of the door
she smiles and for some reason her smile
makes me feel uneasy it gives me the creeps
it's like she's up to something. "done already" -
her I slightly smile "I'm done but i don't have
anything to wear" - me "ow soo she speaks" -
her Duh i speak just not to my kidnappers. She
grabs my hand and pulls me into a room and
then opens the closet its filled with clothes lots
of beautiful designer clothes. "pick whatever
you like then come downstairs the table is set
food is ready" - her Come to think of it I'm very
hungry i haven't eaten in a while "who's clothes
are these" - me "They're yours and the room it's
also yours" - her I look at her with confusion she
turns her back and starts walking away she
closes the door behind her i stand up and walk
into the closet there are beautiful clothes in
here i want to try all of them on but i can't not
when I'm this hungry wow this is a huge closet i
see tons of drawers i open them there are
watches ties cufflinks bowties and combs in the
drawers i open the rest of the closet there are
somebody else's clothes in here i thought she
said this is my room what exactly is going on
here.
Insert 12 MINENHLE'S POV yazi i thought
getting rid of this girl would get me my man
back i thought things would go back to the way
they were before that bitch showed up i can't
believe she stooped as low as pretending to be
blind just because she wanted my man well too
bad i sorted her out before she got anywhere
with her plan. As for Doda and I we're not in a
good space he hasn't been back home in four
days he sent me a text yesterday saying he
found a lead and he's going to get Oba back
like why the fuck can't he just focus on me I'm
frustrated i really am after all Doda can't leave
me i know his secrets and i know who he really
is why would he want somebody who might not
accept him for who he is when I'm right here. As
for having hidden cameras in this house i was
totally unaware i almost peed when Doda told
me he had gone back to look at the footage he
could've figured out that i had something to do
with Oba's disappearance he could've seen me
purposely leave the door open and the gate too
but I'm glad he didn't get to that part otherwise i
wouldn't be here right now I have paid those
guys the other half of their money I'm glad i
don't have to ever see them again. I'm going to
meet up with my friends tonight Mphiwe Neli
and Zinhle we're gonna have a couple of drinks
then I'm gonna come back and sleep in my
loveless bed. * 4 hours later * The girl looks
good hair on pointmake up on point I'm
wearing a thight black dress i feel like showing
off my thighs today my red heels go well with
my dress I'm gonna command attention in this
outfit. I get in the car and drive to the club
luckily i quickly find a parking space there's a
long line outside the club but i don't have to wait
in line being Doda's girlfriend has it's perks as
soon as i walk in i see my girls. "banyise girl" -
Zinhle She comes running to me with her arms
wide open i hug her "i have to show them that
I'm happy and I've got money" - me I say with a
smirk on my face they laugh except for Neli she
doesn't laugh she hates it when I'm being like
this "soo girl uphi uD" - Mphiwe I don't like them
asking me questions about my man. "he's at
home he's sleeping" - me I don't know why i
always feel the need to pretend like my
relationship is going super great. "D doesn't
strike me as the type of man who sleeps soo
early" - Zinhle Can we just be done with this
conversation already. "well he does he works a
lot soo he gets tired" - me They all nod their
heads like they expect me to say something
else. "okay babe we hear you" - Neli She says
in a very suspicious tone. I turn to the bar and
order champagne i loveeeee champagne after i
finish three glasses of champagne my favorite
song comes on its ngize ngifike by Azana i start
to sing my girls sing with me we're having fun
it's like nothing else matters i take a step back
and mistakenly bump into someone i turn
around what noo fucking way. "Sizwe
Ntombela" - i say He gives me the cutest smile
"Minenhle is that you heyy you look good man
it's been a while" - him Sizwe and i went to
university together him and Doda didn't get
along but i never knew why I've always been
cool with him soo of course I'll talk to him. "you
also look really great how have you been and
what are you doing here you were never the
party scene type of guy" - me He chuckles
"yeah but things change" - him We end up
talking the whole night i lost count of how many
glasses of champagne I've had he's soo funny
I've been laughing the whole time my girls left
like an hour ago i feel bad for ditching them for
Sizz i gave Mphiwe my car keys i told her to
take my car to her place I'll fetch it tommorow
I'm in no condition to drive anyway I'm lucky
Sizz is here he promised to take me home. "i
think we should go now" - him I am soo sloshed
we should go vele Doda would strangle me if he
knew i get this drunk in public "yeah we can go
now" - me He takes my arm and puts it around
his shoulder he might as well ngoba i might trip
imagine this guy hasn't seen me in forever and
here i am drunk af I'm soo embarrassed. We
get to his car it's a blue Mercedes GLE it's looks
soo good he opens the door for me i get in and
as soon as i sit down i pass out. My head feels
heavy i was very intoxicated and now i have
banging headache i sit up and i realized ukuthi
this isn't my room what i didn't sleep in my
house.... As confused as i am Sizz walks into
the room he doesn't have a shirt on i must say
he's very attractive he even has the cutest
dimples and chubby cheeks he has a tray in his
hands he takes it and places it in front me and
then sits next to me he watches me eat and has
a smile on his face "how are you feeling today"
- him "I'm fine except for the fact that i have a
very heavy headache"-me I say this while
putting my hand on my head "don't worry about
that I'll give you pills that'll sort that headache
out as in now" - him He opens the drawer
drawer next to me and takes out pills and tells
me to take two he then stands up and leaves
the room after I'm done eating i take two pills. I
get up take off my clothes and my weave and
go shower i hate the fact that i smell like a bar
right now. I step into the shower and i let the
water rain all over me it feels soo refreshing i
step out of the shower and wrap myself in a
towel as i step out into the room i get the shock
of my life Sizwe is standing there naked i
scream and cover my eyes he chuckles "I'm
sorry if i scared you Mini i came in here to get
my shorts" - him I don't know why I'm suddenly
very turned on just by looking at him my vigina
got wet same time. "noo it's fine" - me Even my
voice won't come out I'm stuttering "yazi Mini i
loved you since the first time i saw you but turns
out i was too late ngoba Doda had gotten to you
first" - him I don't reply he comes closer he's
now standing in front of me i take a deep breath
and try not to look at him. "i would've made you
soo happy and I can still make you happy" - him
He whispers in my ear and drops my towel he
looks at me from head to toe he now has a hard
erection he's staring at me and not saying
anything. "I'm sorry i didn't mean to stare i love
your brown skin i want to feel my self inside
you" - him If he touches me i honestly won't
resist Doda hasn't flipped my switch in a while i
love the attention I'm getting right now. Sizwe
roughly picks me up and throws me on the bed
I'm not complaining i like it his touch causes
electricity to go through my body i can't help it i
let out a soft moan our lips collide he kisses me
slowly and passionately he kisses me in a way
that makes me want to feel him inside like right
now he knows how much i want him he's
teasing me he gently moves his dick on my clit
in slow motion i moan even louder "say it say
you want me" he says He holds both my hands
down i can't even touch him yet i want to soo
bad "i want you Sizwe" - me He whispers in my
ear i swear that turns me on even more "louder
say it louder" - him "i said i want you Sizwe" - i
shout He gently slides it in i moan louder and
louder my nails are digging into his back "don't
stop please don't stop" - me He goes in and out
and in and out until he starts becoming rough i
moan louder and louder "say you like that" - him
He says while looking into my eyes "i like it i like
that" - i say in a low voice I can barely catch my
breath okay i think I'm about to cum my legs
start to shake I'm grabbing onto the sheets for
dear life.... I release he keeps going at it even
through my orgasm in a few minutes he groans
like an animal releases inside me and drops like
a deflated balloon. He gets up and leaves me
laying there i get up put yesterday's dress back
on and leave before he gets out of the shower
what just happened why would i do such a
horrible thing to Doda. NARRATED Minenhle
goes to the chemist and gets herself morning
after pills because she didn't use a condom
when she had sex with Sizwe she then goes
home and cries the whole day She's mad at
herself for not being able to resist temptation.
Doda's father imports illegal firearms to foreign
countries he owns multiple petrol stations
around the country the petrol stations are a
front for the actual business that he does he
doesn't want people or the police getting
suspicious so he had to use the petrol stations
as a distraction to the public Doda on the other
hand doesn't support his father's business he
even once tired to convince his father to drop
his criminal ways and focus on the petrol
stations because they also generate good
money his father obviously refused. Doda didn't
speak to his father for years but then they
eventually worked things out he is his father's
son he has gangster blood running in his veins
soo he eventually stopped protesting and now
he's his father's right hand man they are feared
and they are not to be messed with. They
asked around about they guys that took Oba
and ended up finding out where they took her
Doda hasn't been home for four days because
they are trying to figure out how they are going
to be able to get to her for the Ngubane's
there's no such thing as a challenge soo they
will probably get her back. After Minenhle left
Sizwe took his phone from behind the vase he
made a video of the sexual encounter between
him and Minenhle Minenhle couldn't control her
body and how much she wanted him because
the pills Sizwe gave her were not to make her
headache better they were to make her want
sex in a way that she couldn't contain.

Insert 13 OBA'S POV I finally decide on a pink

dress that has the right length i tie my hair into
a bun i grab a pair of socks and head down
stairs. I walk around the house looking for the
dining area it takes me a few minutes to find it
since this house is huge i finally find it and i
must say I've never seen soo much food in my
life the table is neatly set but i find it weird that
it's just me sitting alone at a big table i take a
seat and look around the maid is standing at
the corner of the room i look at her she nods
like she's giving me the go ahead so i start
dishing up and then i feast at this point i don't

do she hold my hand and leads me to the
dining area this time it's far from empty there
are a lot of men in suites a bunch of rich looking
men actually they are all Nigerian but don't
have Nigerian accents it's like they all went to
good schools some even have accents from
other countries instead. When Madame and I
walk into the room the room goes silent
everybody stops talking and they fix their eyes
on me one of the men stands up and walks to
Madame and kisses her on the cheek she
smiles he must be Patrick Madame's husband
there are at least 15 men around the table. "for
what you guys have been waiting for" - patric
He says this and points at me I'm confused
"she didn't come easy she was very expensive
but as you know my beautiful wife doesn't
disappoint" - him They all start to clap and
cheer "and there's a catch i bring you fresh
flesh she's pure she never been touched

he holds up his fist as a way of telling them to
stop clapping "gentlemen calm down i haven't
even gotten to the best part yet" - him again
They look at him in anticipation "she's our
desert tonight but i get to have her first " - him
What noo i can't that won't happen God why me
as soon as he says this i try to run but two men
grab me I'm now kicking and screaming but
nobody seems to care nobody is helping me all
these people are so cruel. The two men grab
me and pull me into a room that only has a bed
both my hands are tied on either side of the bed
I'm soo scared I'm histerically crying it would
take a miracle for me to get out of this how
could Madame do this to me what kind of
woman does this to another women she's
ruthless i despise her i wish death upon her.
Patric comes into the room i start crying loudly
this room has iron walls i think it's sound proof

coming to rescue me. Patrick comes and
stands over me he has a naughty smirk on his
face "please please don't do this please let me

not listening to me he undoes his belt and
unzips his pants they fall to his ankles he
comes close to me he has a pair of scissors in

days I've been calling Minenhle here and there
just to make sure that she's fine i miss her a lot.
Ngubane and I took a flight to Nigeria 4 days
ago when we found out that Oba was brought
here i know what you're thinking and the only
reason i haven't rescued her yet is because i

something to her bazowukhomba umuzi
onotshwala see when I'm nice and happy I'm a
great guy but when I'm angry i become Satan

takes his black card out of his pocket and puts it
in my hand. "thank you I'll see you later at

driver we can go he drives off i open the
window and wave goodbye to Doda with a big
smile on my face he's not happy about this i

Sponsored he drives off i open the window and
wave goodbye to Doda with a big smile on my
face he's not happy about this i don't know why
he's been acting soo weird these days wanting
to be by my side all the time wanting to drive
me wherever i go if he's not there then the
driver must take me it's like he doesn't want
other people to see me. I get to the mall I'm
about to shop till i drop but before that i have to
eat and i know what you're thinking i had
breakfast nje but that was two hours ago now
I'm here and i want to taste spur ribs in my
mouth i go to spur i order myself some ribs and
a coke after I'm done with that i order desert i
dig into it I'm sitting alone and for some reason i
don't feel weird about it at all after i finish i get
up pay the bill and head to my next destination i
go from shop to shop buying shit that i don't
need after that i see a salon i get in and decide
that i want to do long blonde braids i saw it on
some girl on Instagram i really liked it and yes i
just recently signed into Instagram i think I'm
addicted to it even worse i also decide to do my
nails i sit in a chair while one person does my
hair the other does my nails one of them offers
me a glass of champagne I've never tried it
before but i don't hesitate to drink it i didn't want
to seem clueless i take the first sip and it's not
bad not bad at all in 4 hours I'm done earlier i
told the driver to come to the salon and collect
all my shopping bags all the ladies in here were
green with envy i could see it written all over
their faces. I look at myself in the mirror and
hayi noo the girl is ready the girl looks good the
girl is within i smirk yeses ngimuhle. As i walk
out of the salon shit somebody just bumped me
i fall ass flat on the floor imagine the
embarrassment "I'm soo sorry I'm sorry Miss let
me help you up" - random stranger He
stretches out his hand i pull back i stand up and
step away from him till now i didn't realize how
much strange men still scare me "I'm soo sorry
what can i do to make this situation better i
didn't mean for any of this to happen" - him I
look at him with disgust "there's nothing you
can do to make this better uyangizwa now
leave me alone" - me i walk away and leave
him standing there I'm soo angry right now. As
soon as i get into the car i look at my phone i
have 4 missed calls from Doda i can't call him
back right now i need to come down first my
phone vibrates it's a text "I'm sorry about what
just happened i didn't see you walk out and I'd
like to make it up to you maybe take you out for
breakfast tomorrow" - random stranger I don't
reply where did he get my number I get back
home take off my nice dress get in bed and
take a nap *two hours later* I'm woken up by
my phone it's ringing back to back non stop i
answer it "hello" - me I clear my throat "would
you please come outside" - voice I roll my eyes
"stranger from the mall is this you again?"
What's wrong with this guy "my name is
Nkosiyethu" - him Like i care "well Nkosiyethu
as if it's not enough that you pushed me over at
the mall now you're stalking me on top of that" -
me He chuckles "I'm not stalking you muntu
omuhle I'm just trying to make up for what i did"
- him "and how exactly do you plan to do that" -
me "like i said come outside I'll show you" - him
I end the call get up put on a simple pair of
jeans and a T-shirt and go outside i open the
gate only to find a red GTI parked at the gate
the window rolls down "come on now pretty lady
don't just stand there come on in" - him Before i
even get into cars that I'm not familiar with i dial
Doda's number but i don't call it if this guy
drives off with me I'll definitely call it. I walk
around the car to the passenger seat and get in
he has such a good looking face i must say plus
he smells really good not as good as Doda but
uyazama naye. "soo what was soo urgent that
you had to show up unannounced" - me I fold
my arms and look straight ahead "i told you
muntu omuhle i just wanted to apologize for
what happened i didn't mean for it to happen" -
him I pop out my eyes "how did you know
where i live" - me He smiles "i have my ways" -
him I click my tongue "how do you manage to
make my life all so miserable in one day "-me
He opens his door " wait here i have something
for you "-him He steps out of the car opens the
boot and comes back with a bouquet of red
roses and a big box of chocolates personally
I'm not a flower type of girl but in this case i can
compromise " take it its for you this is my way of
apologizing i hope we can be friends now" - him
I accept the roses and the chocolate i smile
back at him "maybe just maybe we can be
friends" - me He grabs my hand and kisses the
back of it "umuhle Sisi umuhle ngempela
engabe isbongo ubani " - him He's still holding
my hand "you don't even know my name
Nkosiyethu and you're jumping to surnames" -
me Right after i say this boom i hear a big
crashing sound my head hits the dashboard
what's happening right in that moment of
confusion my door opens what the fuck it's D he
grabs my arm and literally drags me out of the
car I've fallen onto the street he takes the roses
from my hand and starts beating me with them
they get scattered all over the place I'm
screaming and crying Nkosiyethu steps out of
the car "leave her alone you don't treat women
like that" - Nkosiyethu It's like a shockwave hit
Doda's body he drops the flowers and looks
straight ahead at Nkosiyethu "uhlanganaphi so
you don't just have guts to park infront of my
gate and buy my girlfriend flowers you also
have a big mouth on that big head of yours" -
Doda I'm his what?? i stand up "ngazongi
jwayela I'm not your girlfriend I'm not his
girlfriend" - i say looking at Nkosiyethu "say one
more thing please i beg you say one more
thing" - Doda He's pointing his finger at me
what he just said sounds threatening so i say
no more "she said she's not your girl you just
crashed into the back of my new GTI for
nothing" - Nkosiyethu "you can't force
somebody to be yours" - Nkosiyethu again
Doda looks at Nkosiyethu and starts to laugh
like actually laugh he claps his hands once and
then wipes the grin of his face in a plit second
he punches Nkosiyethu in the stomach
Nkosiyethu tries to fight back but Doda over
powers him i run to them and try to pull D off
Nkosiyethu but he's not budging he stops hitting
him and gets up Nkosiyethu is bleeding a lot i
rush to him and help him up Doda on the other
hand gets in to his car that he just crashed on
purpose this confuses me because D loves that
car he drives into the yard i help Nkosiyethu get
inside his car "will you be able to drive" - me He
nods his head "I'm sorry about this if I'd known
things would turn out like this i never would
have let you stay" - me He tries to fake a smile
"I'll be fine muntu omuhle I'm just worried about
you because i don't know whether to leave you
with that guy" - him His voice is shaky he's
holding on to his stomach i can tell he's in pain
"don't worry about me okay just promise me
you'll drive yourself to the hospital" - me I close
his car door he drives off i walk into the yard
and into the house i need to give D a piece of
my mind i go to his room and just like i thought
he's there he's talking to the phone i snatch it
out of his hand and drop the call "seriously who
acts like that what the fuck made you think that
such behavior is acceptable sometimes i really
do question your mental state i really do" - me
He's not even paying attention to me he's taking
off his shoes "wena uzoze ufunde ukungi
hlonipha you don't speak to me like that" - him I
put my hands on my hips " or what D what you'll
hit me like you just hit Nkosiyethu " - me " don't
mention that name in my house mawufuna
sizwane" - him I'm getting frustrated by the fact
that he's not listening to me "would you just
listen to me" - i shout He smiles and grabs both
my cheeks "yazi umuhle kanjan mawukwatile" -
him Fuck him i start to hit him on his chest then
his face and everywhere "don't just stand there
hit me back ngishaye angit you're Arnold
Schwarzenegger you crash cars and start
random fights on the street don't just stand
there hit me asilwe phela" - me He pushes me
off and then folds his arms around me i try to
fight him off but he's holding me tightly i then
calm down he's breathing heavily he's even
tired from holding me while i perform he grabs
me by my waist "calm down Oba just come
down i did what i did because i had to do it i did
what i did because i couldn't control the way i
acted i just did what i had to do i was shocked
to see you with another man"-him "and why
would you care D why the fuck would you care
we're just friends remember friends" - me I
shout in his ear "can't you see i love you
Obakhe i want you to be mine in fact i live for
you i already see you and only you when i
picture the future and i don't like sharing that's
why i had to beat up that guy worse he was
infront of my gate" - him I'm just frozen i can't
believe my ears.

"It's a long story chomam but I'll tell you all
about it"-me She hugs me again but tighter i
hug her back "I heard about your mom I'm soo

knew were you'd went she was really worried
she'll be soo happy to know that you're okay" -
her Her mom has always been nice to me they

ukuthi I've never seen where i used to live
"Amahle would you please take me home i want
to see what it looked like" - me She nods her
head we both walk out the toilet Thula is
standing there waiting for me i almost forgot
about her. "Thula this is my childhood friend
Amahle i want to go with her to visit my
mother's house I'm sorry but can we please try
this again another time" - me I feel bad for
bailing on her "nooo way babe you're not

promised me we'd spend the day together and
that's exactly what's gonna happen" - her I
smile i dont mind her coming with i actually like
her she's not anything like i thought she'd be
since stevovo waits for me outside we all get
into the car and drive to my neighborhood
Amahle keeps stealing glances of me when i
look at her she looks away its like she can't
believe that I've changed soo much "we're
almost there" - Amahle I'm looking out the
window we're driving in the streets of a deep
rural area its a poverty stricken place I'm not
surprised at all i always knew that our living
situation wasn't great I'd just never imagined it
to be this bad but i must say i never went to bed
on an empty stomach my mom took great care
of me. We stop in front of a house it doesn't
have a roof it looks run down the yard is filled
with filth it looks like it's a dumping site Amahle
opens the door and gets out Thula and I also
step out of the car "this is it Oba" - Amahle But
what happened to the roof why are people
dumping rubbish here "why does it look like this
has it always been this way" - me Thula looks at
me with pity "no before everything was in place
the house was okay" - Amahle I walk towards
the house "I'm going inside" - me Thula and
Amahle follow me i walk into the house it feels
the same i run my hands through the wall as i
walk through the short passage i remember
each and every corner of the house half of the
things that used to be in here are gone what's i
reach what used to be my room i open the
drawer and search through the papers there i
find my ID I'm glad i found it saves me the
trouble of having to go to home affairs for
another one i walk out of that room and walk
into what used to be my mother's room all the
emotions come flooding back i kneel on the
dirty floor and start to cry Thula and Amahle
now have tears in their eyes too Thula kneels
on the floor next to me and hugs me "i miss her
i miss her soo much" - Thula "I know babe i
know i can feel your pain i also lost my mother
and it hurts still till this day the pain never
fades" - her Her and Amahle help me up i get
up we all walk to the car Thula and i get into the
car i tell we're leaving Amahle because she said
she wants to visit her mother "please tell your
mother that I'll see her on another day I'm not
feeling fine today" - me Amahle has her head
peaking through the window "okay chomam

POV "but D why are we the only ones here" -
me He smiles "i decided to hire the whole place
out for tonight it's your special day i don't want
people making noise while i try to speak to you"
- him He knows that he didn't have to but i must
say it's really romantic that he did that. "thank
you for doing this babe" - me The waiter comes
to our table and takes our order I'm not the type
of girl to order a salad just because I'm out with
my boyfriend no way i order what ever my
stomach feels like having. After we're done
ordering we wait for the food. "Remember when
you told me that you had a crush on burna boy"
- him I can't believe he remembers that "yes but
that was before i started dating you i now have
a crush on my amazing boyfriend and I'm so

instruments in their hands Burna boy starts
performing 'on the low' I'd told D that this is my
favorite Burna boy song i get up and push the
table i start to dance and sing along "everytime
when i see you in the club i de television your
body" - me I mumble the part of the song in the
language that i can't hear "you know i feel a
vibe you feel a vibe soo baby grind it for me and
i know you're shy but it's cool when we're
making love on the low on the low on the low" -
me again I look at D he has his phone out he's
taking a video of the whole thing he has this
huge smile on his face i can tell he is proud of
himself after Burna boy is done performing i
finally get to touch him i hug him and ask for a
picture this is truly the best day of my life after
the performance the food arrives i keep smiling
like a retard "calm down O uzoze uqhume from
excitement" - him I look at him and then get up
from my chair and go hug him and kiss him
"thank you thank you thank you thank you" - me
"okay okay you'll spill my beer can i just have
my food in peace please" - him Fine let me let
him eat i know he gets cranky when he's
hungry. After we're done he looks at me and
says "and now it's time for dessert" - him
Sounds like he's telling me not asking me he
clicks his fingers the waiter shows up with two
cupcakes one with and O and one with a D as i
look at the cupcakes and smile i lift my head up

kneeling with one knee on the floor he has a
ring in his hand is this what i think it is ow my
gosh i can feel the waterworks I'm about to cry..

about anything in my whole life I've never felt a
love soo real I've never felt like i needed
someone as much as i feel that i need you
without you I'd be hopeless but with you I'm
hopeful and ready for the future muntu wami
make an honest man out of me and say yes will

control the tears they like to do their own thing
"yes yes sthandwa sami I'll marry you" - me He
puts the ring on my finger it has a big rock on it i
love it Sponsored I'm now jumping up and down
i hug and kiss him "look at the inside of your
ring" - him I take it off and look at it its written
'O&D4ever' "babe this is soo cute i love it and i
love you" - me He kisses me we leave the
restaurant and go home it had already gotten
late we both had a long day so we get home
and sleep. *the next morning* I turn around and
realize that I'm sleeping alone D has already left
for work i overslept i must've been really tired i
get out of the covers and ow would you look at
that i notice my hand konje the girl is engaged
it's a good morning indeed i decide to shower
before i do anything else after I'm done
showering i go downstairs eat breakfast while i
watch tv as always. I'm more of a reality show
type of girl i will sit in front of the tv for hours on
end because of those things after I'm done
eating i decide to do the laundry and clean the
house i can't just lazy around everyday i need
to do something productive. In two hours I'm
done with the laundry and cleaning so i decide
to cook bear in mind that I've never cooked a
day in my life but as the saying goes there's a
first time for everything and this is it bahlali. I
cook rice meat butternut and spinach after I'm
done cooking and i must say it was easier than i
thought it would be maybe it's my god given
talent i wash the dishes and set the table i light
two scented candles and go upstairs to get
dressed i decide to wear a short black dress it
fits the setting perfectly i hear D's car pull up i
run to the dining room he opens the door
"surprise" - i say i now have my hands up he
smiles he comes towards me hugs me and
kisses me on the forehead "you cooked?? Haw
kodwa umkami madoda" - him I blush i lead him
to the table and tell him to sit down i dish up for
him and put the plate in front of him.I sit on the
other side of the table and pour myself some
juice I'm not hungry right now he observes the
plate of food "impressive it looks good
sthandwa sami" - him I smile he puts the first
spoon in his mouth his facial expression
changes but i can't quite understand the face
he's making "is everything okay my love" - me
He smiles very difficulty and gives me a thumbs
up he still hasn't swallowed the first spoonful of
food that's why he's not using his words "baby"
- me He looks at me "should i get you some
water" - me again He shakes his head right
after that he starts to gag like he's about to
vomit i run to the kitchen to get some water i
quickly run back with a glass "thatha baby
phuza" - me I hit his back multiple times he
looks like he's about to die he swallows and
finally catches his breath "cha hayi ngizamile
ngihlulekile you'll have to forgive me but what
the fuck was that is this how you planned my
murder that was horrible mkami stay out of the
kitchen please ngikthanda impela but noo never
again" - him He stands up and goes to our
bedroom to brush his teeth ngithi ngiyamu
zama umuntu akazameki i put the spoon in my
mouth and taste the food eeww eeww eewww
eewe water water water what was i thinking it
tastes so bad as i simmer my tongue in water
the doorbell rings i open the door it's the police
"Hi miss we're looking for Emadodeni Ngubane
where is he" - policeman.... before i can say
anything he shoves a paper in my face and
forces himself in he has many other policeman
with him what is going on i follow them as they
scatter around the house they are tearing the
place apart flipping over furniture opening
drawers etc one of the policemen comes back
with Doda Doda keeps fighting him off the other
policemen have to help to hold him down "Sir
you are under arrest for the murder of Minenhle
Mwelase what you say or do will be used
against you in the court of law" - policeman I
cannot believe what I'm hearing Doda killed
Minenhle who is this man "baby it's not what
you think I'll explain everything to you okay" -
Doda He's screaming while they push him out
of the door I have to get out of here.

Insert 20 DODA'S POV I had to spend two days

in a cell because of somebody else's
incompetence they found Minenhle's body in a
dam just out of town i hate it when i give
somebody a job and they fail to do it right.
Since i am Emadodeni Ngubane of course i
have friends in high places apparently the
detectives had a very strong case against me
but i paid someone to make this whole mess go
away now I'm out of jail what hurts me the most
is the fact that Oba didn't come to see me i miss
her i honestly can't wait to see her i hope she
didn't just take what the police said and run with
it. I want to explain my side of things by
explaining my side of things i mean I want to lie
i call Stevovo to come and fetch me he arrives
in less than ten minutes now that's a man who
takes his job seriously i get inside the car "sho
sho Stevovo" - me I say this while patting his
shoulder "sho sho bhoza yami" - him He looks
at me in the mirror "hayi bhozza ku rough
mawusu nje" - him He's right i look dirty and i
smell dirty i haven't had a bath in two days
"uphi umkami ulapha endlini?" - me "haw bhoza
angimazi uphi i haven't been to your house in
two days she hasn't requested a ride i think
maybe she felt like staying in" - him I nod my
head "yah Stevovo you're right" - me In no time
we arrive at my house i get off at the gate and
make my way inside its awfully quiet i go
around the house "baby baby baby where are
you?" - me I search in every room until i get to
our room and realize that all the closet doors
are open she took all her clothes there is
nothing of hers in the house anymore i take my
phone and dial her number it sends me straight
to voice mail I look around only to find her sim
card on the side table with her engagement ring
next to... What! she left me she actually left me i
know i made some stupid speech about how
indoda ayi khali forget about it that was then
now is now i crumble i can feel the tears
creeping in so this is how it feels heartbreak it
hurts. OBA'S POV I feel like such a fool vele it
was to good to be true anyway after Doda got
arrested i packed all that was mine called my
friend Amahle and asked her if i could stay with
her for a while and just like i thought she said
yes and then i asked her to come and fetch me
at D's house she has a car and only stays an
hour away from here she arrived and helped
me gather my things she kept on going on and
on about how yena she'd never leave this
mansion and how even if D's a killer we all have
our flaws that's when i knew ukuthi yah my
friend loves money shem. I now live with her in
her apartment it has two bedrooms one
bathroom a kitchen and a huge living room i like
it it's nice and intimate i must say Amahle has
really done well for herself I'm proud of her as
for Doda i never ever want to see him again I'm
ready to start a new life on my own without him.
I'm sitting in the living room watching 90 day
fiance :Happily ever after I've been sitting here
for four hours in these four hours i ate a lot for
no reason at all that's what i do when I'm
watching tv i eat my hand feels weird when it's
empty. Amahle walks in. "aw girl atleast comb
your hair and bath ke you can't look like this" -
her I look at her "this is my life now honey
boring and meaning less" - me I'm wearing
sweat pants and a big T-shirt and socks my hair
is a mess i have a stain on my shirt i don't know
where it came from or maybe i wore it dirty.
"speaking of you living a better life" - her I look
at her in anticipation "i got you a cleaning job at
pic n pay the one at the mall" - her again Lord
look at you answering my prayers this is exactly
what i need it's a good start Sponsored i jump
out of the sofa i hug her she hugs me back
"Ngiyabonga chomam this is exactly what i
need but how'd you get it??" - me "Asante my
friend is the manager there so i just asked her if
there was anywhere she could squeeze you in
and luckily she had a place you start tomorrow"
- her I jump up and down i can't wait I'm soo
excited. *the next day* I wake up at 6am it's
7am now and I'm ready to go i take a taxi and
arrive at the mall i get to pick n pay and ask for
the manager and then tell her who i am she
smiles "yeah yeah Amahle's friend right" - her I
nod my head "thank you soo much for giving
me a chance" - me "don't worry about it I'll show
you around and then I'll give you your uniform
bese you'll be ready to start" -her She shows
me around and introduces me to a few of the
staff members she shows me where the
cleaning supplies stay and gives me my work
schedule and my uniform i go and change into
my uniform and start working I've never done
hard labor before so this will be a first. It's only
been an hour and a half yet i already wish
umhlaba ungavuleka ungigwinye my joints were
never ready i knock of at 4pm i walk all the way
to the taxi rank and take a taxi to Amahle's
place as soon as i get there i walk straight to
the bedroom and throw myself on the bed do
you understand that i could've died today even
my body is like what just happened i fall asleep
with my shoes on i should be hungry but I'm not
hungry at all cabang me not hungry. It's been
two months and I've been going to work
everyday except for Saturdays and Sundays i
even pay half of the rent while Amahle pays the
other half I'm soo proud of myself I've even
gotten used to the shit load of work that i have
to do but the one thing that still pisses me of
would be customers who force walking on wet
tiles that I've just cleaned i don't say anything
but i do sure as hell give them a very deep
death stare. I'm at home now I've had a long
day and I'm really tired it's Friday and I'm really
glad that i don't have to wake up early
tommorow i get home and decide to catch up
on some shows that i didn't get to watch during
the week. Two hours later I'm still glued on the
tv Amahle isn't back yet i decide to get up and
go to the toilet because i want to pee but as
soon as i stand up i feel this sharp pain on my
lower back i sit back down but the pain persists
it's now moved to my waist i don't know what's
going on the pain becomes soo bad that I'm
now on my knees crying and rolling Amahle
walks in she sees me and runs to my side "Oba
what's going on" - her Her voice is trembling i
can hear the worry in it "i don't know angazi i
have these sharp pains hitting me at every
angle" - me I say this while crying she grabs her
bag and searches around for something
"ubhekani" - me She's also crying now "I'm
looking for my phone I'm calling an ambulance"
- her She dials the number and calls the
ambulance "they say they'll be here in 5
minutes" - her 5 minutes feels like forever "be
strong okay they're coming now i would drive
you there myself but i don't think i can drive
while trembling" - her She's right that would be
a big hazard she is literally shaking. The
paramedics are here they put me on a stretcher
and carry me out of the apartment Amahle
comes with me we get to the hospital really fast
the doctor attends to me he starts asking me a
lot of questions that i can't answer right now like
when did this start has this ever happened
before are you on your period do you remember
what time it started i could seriously slap this
guy right now. After a minute or two he comes
and injects me on my left butt cheek the pain
calms down i feel better he then tells me that he
has to insert his hand into my vigina because
he has to be sure i oblige he does so and in a
few seconds he is done "doctor what's going
on" - me I'm not getting a response he grabs a
chair and sits next to me and turns on the
screen next to him its an ultrasound machine
"please lift you shirt up" - him This guy is soo
rude I need to know what's going on he puts
this gel like substance on my tummy and runs
something ontop of it he moves his head closer
to the screen like he's trying to see something
properly i turn to look at Amahle she now has
her hand over her mouth am i the only one
who's lost The doctor turns to me with a big
smile on his face what is he smiling about
"Congratulations miss Thekiso you're 14 weeks
pregnant " - doctor What no i can't be what
does he mean pregnant i can't be a mom I'm
not ready for all of that not now i start to cry
Amahle holds my hand "the reason you were
having those pains was because you almost
had a miscarriage it happens when a pregnant
women overworks themselves or lifts heavy
objects during pregnancy.... Do you work?" -
him I nod my head "well from now on you'll
have to take it easy at work or you could lose
this baby for now I'm sending you home to go
and rest" - him again He leaves the room i start
to sob Amahle hugs me I'm glad she's here I'd
be worse of a reck if i was alone i don't want to
carry a murderers child i can't what will i do.

Insert 21 OBA'S POV It's 3 months after i found

out that I'm pregnant I'm now 5 months
pregnant i've had soo many changes happen to
my body i cried everyday after i found out ukuthi
I'm about to be a mom I'm honestly still not
ready when the baby inside me kicks and
moves its such a delicate and precious time. I'm
tired most of the time i want to sit around all the
time I'm emotional all the time especially when I
think about the fact that I'm going to be a single
mom. I still go to work and i do take it easy i
don't walk all the way to the rank anymore
because it's not as easy as it used to be i call a
meter taxi to fetch me at the mall everyday R45
rand spent on that everyday i know it's steep
but i gots to do what i gots to do. DODA'S POV
At first i couldn't believe that she left me just like
that she said she loved me yet she left at the
first sign of me not being who she wanted me to
be in a relationship you're supposed to make
sacrifices you must compromise and accept
your partner for who they are as for just walking
away it's a cowardly move. I spent 4 months
straight looking for her i had my guys
everywhere trying to find her i waited and
waited for a call that would tell me that they
found her but it never came I'm at that stage
where I've accepted that I'll never see her again
it's sad because it's like she's never existed it's
almost as if she was a figment of my
imagination the whole time she's my
weaknesses. Today I'm going to see Thula's
new house yeah you heard me right she finally
bought a house it was about time she stopped
crowding dad and his wife. I'm on my way to the
house it's just 10 minutes away from mine i
arrive at the gate to realize that it won't be just
me and her because there are 4 more cars
outside i park my car and make my way to the
door i reach out my hand to open the door but
before i touch it someone opens it from the
inside. "Helooooooooooo brother" - Thula I roll
my eyes and walk in "that voice says your about
to ask me for something soo cough it up
ufunani" - me "pretty pretty please try to be nice
to my friends don't do your usual angry grumpy
and hateful self" - her I look at her with a
straight face she blinks multiple times and gives
me a pleading smile she lifts her hand and uses
her fingers to stretch out my mouth on either
side "see that looks much better" - her again I
hit her baby small hands off my mouth
uyahlupha lo "okay okay fine as long as they
keep ukphapha on a minimum I'll tolerate them
for an hour and then i leave" - me She said i
should come check out her house she didn't tell
me there was a mini party happening this child!.
She grabs my hand and pulls me to the living
room there are 5 of her friends sitting on the
couches there is a lot of alcohol on the table do
these girls really drink that much. I sit down on
the one sitter couch and instruct Thula to bring
me some ice-cream "Really ice-cream" - Thula
Duh she heard me right "yeah ice-cream would
you just go get it" - me I'm getting irritated she
walks away and comes back with my ice-cream
and a spoon if it was another day i would get
drunk soo drunk that I'd need somebody to
drive me home but noo not today. For some
strange reason the moment i walked into the
room they stopped talking and laughing they
are just quietly sipping on their drinks and
whispering amongst themselves i could give
two fucks what they're talking about. I've been
sitting here for over thirty minutes when one of
Thula's friends approaches me "Hi D do you
mind if i sit" - her I look at her and then look
down at my ice-cream i don't answer her she
sits any way "my name is Thobile" - her again I
don't even look at her this time "D" - she says I
look up at her "don't call me D angsuye
umnganakho" - me She looks at me shocked
"sheshisa isho into oyizele" - me "well i just
wanted to say I'm sorry that you and Oba's
relationship didn't work out i mean she didn't
deserve you any way i think that you deserve
someone better someone who will accept you
for who you are manje i just want you to know
that if you need to talk ngikhona" - her She puts
her hand over mine i drag my hand out from
under hers and stand up i could hit this bitch
right now imagine bringing up such a sensitive
matter on one of my good days nxa. I kiss my
sister on the cheek and walk out the door "haw
D you're leaving already but you still haven't
seen the house" - Thula I walk out i don't
answer her i know she won't follow me because
she knows me well enough to know that when
I'm like this i want to be left alone i get inside
the car as I'm about to drive off i see Thobile
run out of the house towards my car what does
this bitch want now. "Doda I'm soo sorry i didn't
mean to overstep" - her She has her hand of
my window i hate it when people do that the
window is still closed i whisper from inside the
car "susa izandla" - me She brings her face
closer "susa izandla" - me again She repeats
what I'm saying and then removes her hands as
soon as she does i drive off leaving her
standing there. I get home and head to bed i
pass out as soon as my head touches the pillow
I'm always tired these days angazi why. *3
hours later* I'm deep in my sleep but i can hear
the intercom ringing somebody keeps pressing
it over and over again somebody is at the gate
at this hour abantu sebeyangi jwayela even
strangers I've only hanged out with once think
we're friends but they are not my guys i do not
pretend. I get out of bed and press the gate
remote the gate opens when the person
reaches the door i open it you've got to be
kidding me kanti what doesn't this girl not hear
"Thobile ufunani lah" - me Before she can
answer "angiktshelanga ukuthi angsuye
umnganakho manje lama simba okuthi umane
utheleke la ngathi uzongi casula nje" - me She's
pissing me off plus she ruined my sleep "D i just
felt bad about how you left earlier" - her This girl
thinks i have time for bullshit "i said don't call
me D" - me I say this and then start to close the
door "Thobile go home" - me She grabs the
door "but Doda i don't have a ride to take me
back home" - her "manje mina ngihlanganaphi
ngazongi bhedela Thobile" - me Just before i
can close the door "Doda wait" - she shouts I
stop for a second as i look at her she drops the
coat that she's wearing she's now left butt
naked on my door step I'm gobsmacked i can't
even move I'm just starting at her after a few
seconds i come back to my senses "Thobile
maan what is wrong with you my neighbors
could see you" - me I pull her inside "there's
nothing wrong with me I'm just inlove" - her
"inlove with who Thobile awume" - me She
starts walking towards me i take two steps back
she's now standing in front of me "remember
when i told you that you deserve better this is it
baby I'm better" - her It's like she knew that i
can't resist a women's naked body "just please
let me show you how much i want to be with
you let me take care of your needs" - her again
My mouth is sealed shut i can't even speak
anymore she starts to kiss me very slowly her
tongue is in my mouth she's turning me on plus
i haven't had sex in a while soo of course i
won't push her off in no time my dick joins the
party he's ready for action she starts to kiss my
neck and bite my ear she takes of my vest snd
runs her hands through my chest and stomach
she pulls down my shorts and grabs my dick
she goes down on her knees and puts it in her
mouth she starts to suck on it like it's a lollipop
she looks at me in the eye while doing it if this
is how she apologizes then she is definitely
forgiven she puts me deep inside her throat and
then carries on until i come in her mouth she
swallows and then stands up and takes my
hand leading me to the couch i follow her
willingly she pushes me on the couch i don't
resist i sit down she gets ontop of me grabs my
dick and slides it in herself and starts moving up
and down she's got me groaning like an animal
i like how she's telling me what to do taking
control and taking me to heaven my hands are
on her booty she kisses me while i kiss her
back my one hand is now on her breast she
goes faster and faster until we both come she
rests ontop of me she's breathing heavily i pick
her up put her on the floor and get ontop of her
because I'm never done before i get my
moment that was honestly the best sex I've
ever had what is Thobile doing to me. I lift her
up and put her on the couch i grab her coat and
throw it to her "haw D just like that" - her I turn
around to look at her "yes Thobile just like that"
- me She folds her arms "well I'm not leaving" -
her She can suite herself if she wants i goto the
bathroom take a bath and then sleep. *the next
morning* Yey i have to wake up i just
remembered that i didn't use a condom
yesterday i don't like Thobile like that i don't
want to find myself stuck with her forever never.
I get up and put on my tracksuits i head for the
door when i see Thobile sleeping on the couch
with her coat being used as a blanket i head for
the garage get in the car and drive to the
pharmacy i get there and buy her morning after

pull the towel off her "you can't use this towel" -
me I throw her another one she starts coming
towards me with a smile on her face "hayi hayi
woaah before everything else thatha la" - me I
give her the pill i then hand her a glass of water
"I'll drink it D" - her She tries to walk away from
me "drink it now here infront of me" - me She
gives me an angry look "manje you think I'd
purposely want to fall pregnant with your child" -
her I give her the duh look "Thobile stop asking
me stupid questions how would i know how you
promiscuous women operate" - me She clicks
her tongue and then throws the pill in her mouth
and drinks the water "come on open up" - me
She opens her mouth she swallowed the pill
"good girl now get dressed and leave" - me She
gets dress and in a matter of minutes she's
gone she really looked sad by the fact that i

it its the truth vele she is a skank isfebe.

Doda takes my hand and leads me to the dining
room where his parents are seated the table is
set there is food on the table and different types
of drinks the house is big and extravagant it
looks like something straight out of a magazine
as we approach the table Ngubane stands up to
give me a hug "Sawbona Makoti you've never
looked better I'm happy that you're here i see
my grandson is sitting comfortably in there
you're even glowing" - Ngubane I shy away and
smile "Ngiyabonga Ngubane" - me Doda opens
the chair for me i sit down i look across the
table to notice that D's step mom doesn't even
have a smile on her face she looks intimidating
"unjani ntombazane" - she says I don't make
eye contact with her "Ngiyaphila mah" - me She
starts to dish up for us when she grabs Doda's
plate he snatches it away from her hand and
gives her a death stare she sits back down and
starts to eat there's akward silence Doda stands
up and dishes up for himself what was that
about. "soo awusho where did you go to school
and what qualification do you have" - her I put
down my spoon "you don't need to answer that"
- Doda I put my hand over his "no it's okay" -
me "well I've never gone to school and i don't
have any qualifications" - me She puts her fork
down "soo you're letting your son marry an
uneducated illiterate girl from god knows where"
- her she says this while looking at her husband
Doda laughs and claps his hands once he
literally laughs and then wipes the smile off his
face like it never happened "Nokbonga please
ngiyakcela please carry on qhubeka speak your
mind and lets see what happens if you carry on
releasing shit from your mouth" - Doda I can tell
that he's really angry "Emadodeni that's no way
to speak to your mother" - Ngubane "this bitch
is not my mother" - Doda I can't believe what he
just said my hand is over my mouth Ngubane
stands up and soo does Doda "you don't speak
to my wife like that" - Ngubane Doda tightens
his fists "she mustn't speak to my wife like that
or is she angry that my wife and i are expecting
while yena she failed to give you a child listen
sisi it's not our fault that god punished you for
your hoeing ways the moment that you opened
your legs for your best friends man and even
married him god was slowly wiping away every
chance of you ever carrying a child"-Doda I can
see Ngubane is getting really angry he's
stepping towards D Doda's step mom now has
tears in her eyes i don't understand why D has
to be so cruel towards her. before D's dad
comes any further i stand up and stand
between them i turn around and look at Doda i
grab his face with my hands i look straight into
his eyes "baby let's just go it's not worth it
please let's just go sthandwa sami" - me He's
even breathing heavily that's how angry he is
he is not even looking at me he's looking
straight at his dad in that moment of silence and
death stares he clicks his tongue and walks out
i grab my purse and follow him he gets outside
and punches the wall until his knuckles are
bleeding "D please stop it" - me I'm now crying
he scares me when he's being like this. "yazi i
try i really do try to give her a chance but she
fucks it up every time" - him Thula comes
outside she's running "D you need to calm
down you're scaring Oba" - her he looks at her
and says nothing "just go home okay hamba D
I'll bring Oba home when you've calmed down "
- her again He turns around and walks straight
to the car without saying a word to me I'm now
left standing there with Thula "I'm sorry you had
to see that" - her I nod my head and fake a
smile truth is the way D acts when he's angry
really bothers me. "you know what Sponsored i
have a great idea lets go out for lunch or ice-
cream whatever you like let's just go get our
minds off things" - Thula That's not a bad idea
especially because i didn't get to eat all the
delicious food that was on that table. "sure i
want food soo maybe we should go to Nandos i
could eat a whole full chicken right now" - me
She laughs "let's go mama bear" - her We get
inside her car and drive to Nandos we find a
table and sit down we order and wait for the
food to arrive as we wait an unexpected guest
arrives "ow hey guys i didn't expect to see you
here hey Oba babe i haven't seen you in a
while you look great your skin is glowing" -
Thobile Thula stands up to hug her i don't even
greet back she grabs a chair and sits kanti

Thobile "what where you doing at the petrol
station you don't have a car" - Thula She looks
uneasy like she's making up answers as she
goes i don't know this girl that well but I'll tell

friend of mine" - Thobile After she says this she
stands up finally she's leaving "bye girls I'll see
you guys on another day" - her After she leaves
the food arrives we eat after we're done Thula
takes me home she drops me off at the gate
and drives away as i walk up the driveway i see
that the garage is open D isn't home. DODA'S

kick her stomach until i feel her ribs break she's
crying and screaming she's even started
bleeding heavily i stand up and spit on her she's
now pulling her body towards the couch she's
trying to reach her phone as soon as she gets
to it i take it out of her hand and throw it out the
window. I bend next to her and whisper in her
ear "if you live through this you better not
mention my name when they ask you what
happened" - me She's struggling to talk but she
wants to say something "Doda please call an
ambulance I'm dying " - her Like I'd do such a
thing "you should've called an ambulance 15
minutes ago i mean you could've guessed
ukuthi this would be the outcome of the stunt

I walk out the door i leave her laying there at
the verge of dying i get inside the car and drive
home atleast now i can sleep peacefully
knowing that i don't have to one day break the
news of impregnating another woman to Oba
next time she'll know not to mess with me

know nothing about him i never could have
thought ukuthi behind his beautiful eyes his
perfect smile and his funny jokes that there
would be a monster lurking in the dark i know i
was wrong for not swallowing the pill but this
was too harsh of a punishment. Luckily i have
two phones i need to get to the other one and
call an ambulance I'm bleeding heavily i need to
make it fast before i pass out i try to stand up
but i fail i take a deep breath and attempt to

hurts a lot but i have to suck it up there's no
room for error i get out of bed and bend I'm
pretending to have dropped something i turn
around and pull the plastic bag from under the
bed next to mine while everybody is distracted

the hospital gown on the floor in the toilet i peek
and look around before i leave the toilet i walk
out of the toilet casually take the lift to the first
floor walk out the doors walk all the way to the
gate greet the security at the gate and walk out

the shower he decided to kiss me in all the right
places i became turned on and literally begged
him to put himself inside me he said he's scared
he doesn't want his son to get hurt i assured
him that the baby would be fine then he said he
feels weird doing it with him in the room i know
he's crazy right anyway i finally convinced him
that none of his concerns are relevant he was
gentle and i thought it was sweet how he kept
on asking me if I'm okay the whole time. After
the shower i told him that i was ready to talk to
that woman who claimed to be my mom he said
he'll take me to the address that she wrote on
that paper i do need to know if she actually is
my mother I'd also love to know who i actually

Sponsored he literally makes me happy " i love
you" -me He takes my hand and kisses it "i love
you too and for you I'd do anything" - him I
know he means it. We've now arrived at the
address on the paper we're in the location not a
rural area the house looks reasonable you can
tell that it's a home and it's well taken care of i
open the door to get out of the car Doda just
sits there and doesn't open his door "babe let's
go" - me He's still sitting "i can't sthandwa sami

towards the gate i reach the gate i open it and

child she sees me then turns around and runs
back inside i can hear her even though I'm
outside "Gogo sis'Omphile is outside she's
coming come see her" - child This child is
forward couldn't she just let me make an
entrance before i can get into the house the
woman from that other day comes out she runs
towards me and hugs me i don't hug her back
"come in come in mntanami" - her She leads
me inside i follow her we walk inside the house
she leads me to the sitting room i sit down she
sits on the couch opposite of mine she seems
jumpy and nervous "I'm soo happy you decided
to come i didn't think you would do you want
something to drink or anything to eat are you
hungry?" - her I shake my head "I'm just here
for the truth was it true what you said is it true
that you are my mother" - me She looks down
tears roll down her face "yes it's true i just need
you to give me a chance to explain everything" -
her I look at her I'm emotionless "21 years ago i
found out that i was pregnant i was soo happy
and over joyed your dad was also happy he
couldn't wait to be a dad for the first time. 9
months later i unexpectedly gave birth to twins
the joy quickly manifested into sadness see
back then when a couple had twins one of the
twins had to be killed or taken far away from the
other one because it was believed that if the
couple keep them both either the mother or
father of the child would die. You were born first
i named you Orabile your sister was born
second i named her Omphile i looked at both of
you and had to pick which one to keep three
days later i find out that you were blind i
decided to give you up for adoption because
you would've been harder to take care of
forgive me my child " - her " so i wasn't good
enough to keep and you're telling me that you
gave me up for some stupid superstition yeah
way to go mother of the year" - me She's still
crying yeah I'd cry too if i gave up my child
because she's blind "listen I'm willing to do
anything to get back in your life I'm proud of the
woman that i see before me i thank the person
who raised you to be soo great and now i beg
you to give me a chance" - her I stand up "only
time will tell I'm sorry i have to go i have some
where to be" - me I say this and walk out she
chases after me " can i at least give you a hug"
- her She opens her arms for a hug i hug her
and leave i noticed that it's just her and the little
girl in the house i wonder what happened to my
father i walk out the gate and into the car "how
did it go" - Doda I look at him and i break down
"my own mother D she didn't want me she
picked my sister over me I'm just never good
enough" - me He uses his hand to lift up my
face "O calm down and don't say that about
yourself don't let what she said hurt you it
happened a long time ago and you know that
you're good enough for me angithi" - him He
always knows just what to say to cheer me up.
We have an appointment with the doctor today
I'm gonna find out the gender of my baby D
starts the car and drives off in no time we arrive
he holds my hand as we walk to the doctors
office we don't wait in line as soon as we arrive
the doctor attends to us. "ahh my favorite
couple how are you" - doctor He shakes our
hands and smiles "we're good" - Doda He
doesn't smile back i smile back. We sit down
the doctor walks us through what's gonna
happen today and explains how much my baby
should be developed by now D is bored out of
his mind i think it's because he knows all these
things already after the doctor is done talking
he tells me to get on the bed and expose my
tummy i do as i am told he then turns of the
light and puts a gel like substance on my
stomach he starts running the reader on my
stomach he's looking at the screen D is sitting
next to me and holding my hand the doctor
looks at me and smiles "congratulations it's a
boy" - doctor Doda stands up and starts to do a
little dance this is soo out of character for him
he's such a bad dancer "but wait I'm not done" -
doctor We both look at him in anticipation
"you're having two boys their twins" - him What
did he just say.
Insert 26 DODA'S POV My Wife is now 7
months pregnant I'm glad that she gave me a
chance to be with her through this journey I'm
not even a father yet but i can say that it's
already changed me i feel that I've become
softer and weirdly enough i like it i think there's
no harm in adding a bit of sweet to my bitter self
today I'm throwing my wife a surprise baby
shower well Thula is planning the whole thing
but it's not like it matters who plans the whole
thing what matters is ubani ofaka imali i bet
she'll be very surprised and happy i can't wait.
As for myself I've stopped working at the
hospital I've decided to open my own private
practice I found this nice spot inside town a few
renovations are being done and as soon as it's
all done I'm going to work from there starting in
two weeks I'm also gonna hire three more
doctors who'll attend to my patients when I'm
not there it's something i should have done a
long time ago it was long over due. OBA'S POV
When i woke up D wasn't home he then called
me and told me to take a bath and get dressed i
walked into the bathroom and saw a dress on
the chair next to the bathtub a few minutes after
a text from D came in 'wear the dress you'll look
great in it'. I pick up the dress and look at it all
I'm thinking is i hope that it fits me Sponsored i

after I'm done i lotion my body i put the dress on
and walk to the mirror yeah noo he was right it
coordinates perfectly with my not so little bump
it's yellow and bright i like it i sit down infront of
the mirror i tie my poofy afro into a cute ponytail
put on glossy lip gloss and nice simple earrings
after that i take my purse and go outside i find
the driver already waiting i get inside the car.
"Stevovo siyaphi namhlanje" - me He shrugs
his shoulders "awu Mam ithe lendoda

me" - me He chuckles "like all the time" - him I
fold my arms "aksizi ukukwata oksalayo

we approach a house it has nice little cottages
all around the yard they all have grass roofs its
outside of town there are no neighbors around
the house as we get closer i realize that there
are a lot of cars parked outside kwenzakalan
lana before i can ask Stevovo the car stops
Doda comes out of nowhere and opens the
door for me "awu kodwa muntu wami mawusu
muhle kanje mele ngithin" - Doda He's making
me blush i smile "awushoke bab'Ngubane why
am i here" - me He takes my hand "only if you
called me by that all the time" - him "baby
answer me haw what are we doing here" - me
He takes my hand and leads me inside the yard
we go around the house and into the back yard
before i can even say anything i see a lot of
people they all scream 'surprise' when they see
me I'm gobsmacked i wasn't expecting this
Thula is here she brought half her squad as
well i see that my new found mother is also
here i wonder if it was Thula or D who decided
to invite her Doda's step mom is here too she
seems less tense today i see Amahle amongst
the crowd she's busy mingling with people that
she doesn't know. I see a table filled with gifts
that's gonna be my favorite part in all of this.
"babe i wasn't expecting this" - me He kisses
me "you should always expect the unexpected
from Doda the great" - him cocky much I'm now
being led to a chair it's in front of everybody I'm
the center of attention it's like I'm sitting on a
throne I'm glad I'm not shy imagine sitting here
with all these eyes just looking at you it's not
easy. The theme is white and yellow there are
yellow and white balloons everywhere there are
yellow and white cupcakes basically everything
comes in yellow and white everybody is
wearing white I'm the only one who's wearing
yellow. I look up and and see in bold writing it's
written Baby Phathizwe and Baby Mholiwethu
since when do the twins have names i call
Doda. "since when do the twins have names" -
me He gives me that duh look "what do you
mean they've had names since we found out
that we're having twins" - him This is news to
me "and you discussed this with me when
exactly" - me He touches his pocket and takes
his phone out "eish baby I'm sorry but i have to
cut this conversation short my phone is ringing
its important" - him He walks away very fast i
told you I'm dating a certified clown who names
a womans babies without discussing it with the
woman. In three hours the baby shower is done
speeches where said gifts where unwrapped
Sponsored gifts where unwrapped cake was cut
and food was eaten. I didn't speak to my
"mother" i avoided her the whole time I'm still
not there yet Amahle being Amahle kept on
asking Doda dumb questions like does he have
any brothers or would he be looking to take a
second wife i pulled her away before it got out
of hand she can be a handful sometimes all in
all i really had fun. THOBILE'S POV I've been
through a hard time i honestly haven't been
myself since that traumatic experience i quit my
job and stopped going out i isolate myself
because I'm scared i might bump into him and I
don't want that to happen. Thula called me
yesterday she wanted to invite me to Oba's
surprise baby shower i lied and said i I'm out of
town she even told me that they were having
twins i felt my blood boil and my anger
escalating . He breaks my heart beats me up
kills my child and scars me for life and here he
is having twins why do twisted rich people
never get punished. I'm done sitting around and
moping I'm gonna teach him a lesson I'm gonna
make him feel what i felt it's gonna be a double
win for me. I take my phone and dial Oba's
number it rings for a long time before she picks
it up. "helloooo helllooo" - she answers I keep
quite for a moment maybe this is a bad idea
maybe i should drop the phone "ehhh Oba hey
it's Thobile" - me She clears her throat "Thobile
what exactly is it that you're calling for" - her
She's such a bitch naye she's never been nice
to me "how was the baby shower i hope it went
well" - me "what's it to you Thobile listen I'm
busy i have to go" - her I can't let her drop the
phone "Oba wait i know that you and i aren't the
greatest of friends but I'd like to fix that i want
us to start on a clean slate" - me She takes a
deep breath "i won't say no to starting on a
clean slate" - her "since we're starting on a
clean slate how about we grab lunch in an hour"
- me She better say yes "i don't know about
that" - her "please babe just say yes i promise it
won't be boring" - me She stays silent for a little
while "okay okay send me the location and I'll
meet you there in an hour" - her The fish has
the bait in its mouth "okay I'll do that see you in
an hour" - her She drops the phone please
don't judge me for what I'm about to do all i
wanted was to be a mother and that got taken
away from me forever i can't back down that
easy i know exactly what i want and how to get
it.

Insert 28 Insert 27 OBA'S POV I just got a call

from Thobile she wants us to meet up in a few
minutes what confuses me is her change of
attitude all of a sudden she said something
about starting on a new page the only reason
why I'm going to have lunch with her is because
I'm curious about where she's going with this
I'm already dressed and ready to go since D
isn't here I'm gonna ask stevovo to drive me to
the restaurant I'm sure he's already outside let
me check..... Just as i had said he's already
here this guy is never late and i mean never. I
walk out the door and into the car i always sit at
the back because it makes me feel important i
greet steve bese we drive off in 15 minutes we
arrive at the restaurant. "Mam I'll find a parking
space ngiklinde lana ngaphandle" - Stevovo
"noo skhokho ngizoba right you can leave i
wouldn't want to do that to you i don't even
know how long I'll be" - me I can see he's about
to say something else but i don't let him get a
word in i open the door "Steve hamba it's all
good I'll call you when I'm done i promise" - me
I close the door i stand and watch him drive
away i take my phone out of my purse i have a
text it's from Thobile it reads 'you'll find me
inside babe'. I put my phone back in my purse
and walk inside i stand at the entrance and look
around for her she raises her hand i see her
and walk towards her she stands up to hug me i
hug her back. "I'm soo glad you came babe
thank you for not ditching me" - her She looks
different tired like she hasn't slept in days "yeah
I'm glad i came too are you okay though" - me
She fakes a smile "of course I've never been
better" - her She opens the menu "Thobile your
T-shirt is inside out" - me This isn't the same girl
i met a few months ago "damn it you're
probably like what the fuck is wrong with her but
it's no biggie babe it's just an inside out T-shirt"
- her She stands up "I'm gonna go fix it in the
ladies room please order for me" - her again
She stands up and goes to the ladies room i
page through the menu and order for her the
same meal I'm having she returns with her T-
shirt right side out she sits down the service in
this restaurant is fast as soon as she sits down
the food arrives i ordered orange juice for
myself and coke for her. We eat in akward
silence and then in this silence i remember
ukuthi yahh me and this girl aren't friends maan
we literally have nothing to talk about i drink my
juice halfway through it i desperately need to go
pee pregnancy really screwed me over i can't
even hold umchamo for two minutes i might
even pee myself I'm not taking that risk.
"Thobile I'm going to the toilet I'll be right back" -
me She stands up with me "do you want me to
come with you" - her Weird I obviously don't
want her to come with me "noo it's fine I'll go
alone" - me She sits down i walk away i look for
my purse but then i remember that i left it back
at the table shit now what am i gonna do with
my hands while i pee i usually sit on the toilet
and pee while scrolling through the notifications
on my phone it's just what i do. After I'm done i
walk back to the table. "you're back quickly" -
her "yeah i didn't have my phone with me soo
the session was shorter" - me She laughs
"really soo you call it a session" - me I nod my
head and take my phone out of my purse "I'm
calling Steven to come pick me up" - me
There's nothing more that I'm still sitting here
for "no no don't" - her She even tried to snatch
my phone out of my hand "this was fun but I'm
tired I'd like to go home now" - me "what about
your juice" - her Ow yeah i almost forgot about
it i pick the glass up and drink the rest of my
juice "maybe i could drive you home i have a
car now imagine having to wait for steve
iskhathi eside" - her Since when does she have
a car "i thought you didn't have a car? And
steve never makes me wait" - me She takes out
the car keys "it's my moms car she bought a
new one and now she's letting me drive this one
around Oba just give the poor guy a break let
me drive you home" - her Maybe i should just
let her drive me home "fine but let's go now I
meant it when I said I'm tired" - me She settles
the bill we both stand up and exit the
restaurant. I follow her to the parking ngempela
nayi imoto she opens the door for me i get
inside she goes around the car angene naye as
soon as she gets in she locks the doors but
something is not right ever since we left the
restaurant I've been feeling weak and as soon
as i got in the car i started feeling drowsy she
starts the car. "Thobile something is wrong I'm
not feeling okay" - me She keeps quiet "Thobile
Thobile i said I'm not feeling okay please open
the windows" - me She keeps quiet i try to turn
and look at her but my head is all of a sudden
to heavy for me to handle what's happening I'm
losing strength i can't even keep my eyes open
anymore. THOBILE'S POV This bitch talks too

stabbed myself in the ear just to mute her
annoying voice. I'm now parked outside my
mother's house my mother died a long time ago

shoulder she's now easy to drag i drag her
inside the house and all the way to the bedroom
the house doesn't have much furniture but it
does have a bed and a few chairs i actually

door i need to take the rental car back to the
rental company i drive it there and take a taxi

like this let me go i swear you won't get away
with this" - her I think i have a good chance of
getting away with it "noo Obakhe it's not reason
enough the reason that you're here is because
you have everything that should've been mine"

best to be nice to you helang ausi you're not his

wearing the ring between me and you " - her
She says this while waving her finger in my face
that ring should've been mine. " if I'm not his
type then why was he deep inside me a couple
of months ago why was he calling my name
while looking deep into my eyes asking for
more " - me I whisper this in her ear i can see
that her heart is now shattered "i don't believe
you stop fucking lying" - her I thought she'd say
that but luckily i have proof i take out my phone
and show her a picture of me laying on Doda's
chest while he was sleeping. She looks at the
phone and then looks at me. "cat got your
tongue speak bitch carry on telling me that I'll
never have him you've got the ring on blah blah
blah sabhori slima you trust that man too much
when he's playing you for a fool the problem is
you don't know this man at all yet you trust him
with your life you just know the outside of the
book but you haven't read what's inside " - me
She looks at me she has tears falling from her
eyes i could car less she deserves it " what are
you talking about Thobile " - she says in a
shaky voice. I grab a chair and sit next to the
bed with the knife in my hand. " I've loved
Emadodeni since the first time i layed eyes on
him he was the most beautiful man I've ever
seen i tried to make my move a few times but
he wasn't feeling me soo i decided to rest i
stalked him on social media and saw that he
had a sister i made it my duty to become friends
with her just to get close to him after years of
being friends with Thula i learned that things
weren't as they seemed this guy was a high
profile gangster he dressed well looks like a
civil member of the community he saves lives
kanti noo he takes lives more than he saves
them he'll murder a person with his bare hands
it's his way or no way at all after i learned all of
this i loved him even more. Soo of course when
Thula came along with you saying you were his
girlfriend i knew i had to do something and as
soon as i heard that you left him i took a chance
he couldn't resist what he was seeing i used my
body as a weapon of mass destruction and it
worked but my joy was short lived i fell pregnant
i was soo happy that I'd get a chance to carry
his child " - me This bitch mustn't interrupt me
"Thobile stop it just shut up i don't want to hear
it"-her "when i told him about the baby he
flipped out and started to beat me he beat me
soo hard that i lost my baby i begged him to
stop multiple times but he just kept going i was
told that I'm never gonna be able to carry a
baby ever again" - me She shakes her head
"nooo D would never do that he'd never.... He's
not like that just stop it" - her She's clearly in
denial "i don't care if you believe me or not one
thing i know is i won't let him win its not a train
smash since he killed my baby you're gonna
give me one of yours" – me
