The Augury

Part 55

[Mangalisa~~ POV ]

I almost spilled my drink as my front door banged, Thami walked in and walked to me he  took my beer from my hand and gulped it down, he then crushed the can with his hands and threw it across the room

Me: what the fuck? "
Him: when did it start?"
I looked at him with a blank expression I had no idea what he was talking about
Him: Answer me damn it!"
Me: yeyi wena nja! Don't give me that bull shit...what the fuck are talking about? "

Him: fuck man, how long has Cebo been seeing that guy with no eyes "
Me: what?"
He walked around the room with his hands on his face
Him: Nomcebo is dating and from the looks of it she really loves this guy, "
Me: WHAT!!"

Him: fuck I waited for the right time to ask her out not realizing that the time I gave her was enough for her to have an interest in other guys "
Me: are you sure about what you saying to me right now? "
Him: dude everything unfolded in front of my eyes"
Me: I know Cebo is good at keeping things from people but I feel betrayed that she kept this from me, I mean she has been acting strange and I had a lot on my plate to bother with what's wrong with her, ... But to find out she dating ...this just pisses me off !! Who's that mother fucker"

Thami: angazi Ziqubu ...damn it !!"
Me: shit!...she is my best friend I think I should have been the one who knew about this shit before anyone "

Thami looked at me, he was angry but mostly heartbroken, my situation with him is slightly the same, I love Portia but failed to treat her right, she ended up not knowing that I love her so much and when I tried to explain It to her, it was too late she has already moved on, on the other hand, Thami loves Cebo it was love at first sight but he was afraid to love her or hurt her, he is soccer player and loves pussy and was not ready for a committed relationship, while Cebo is the kind of girl you take home and introduce to your mother, by him not confessing his love to her, allowed a window of opportunity for other guys to step in her life

Him: I love her and I can't lose her "
Me: you won't lose her look she is my best friend I will talk to her "
Him: I waited so long for this moment I'm finally ready to settle down with her "
Me: it will happen trust me your my brother from another mother I got your back "

He nodded looking down
Me: I need a drink..."
Me: I need a drink...and pussy I can't think straight with this soft dick"
He busts out and laughed, I stood up and made my way to my room to freshen up

[Portia]

I looked around biting my nails I wonder what I'm leaving behind I looked at my traveling bag and thought that even if I have left something behind that will be an excuse to not leave.

I’ve already canceled and postponed for so many times I have lost count. It’s a bittersweet moment for me, I’m also shit scared at saying goodbyes to friends, I looked at my phone Cebo numbers are on my speed dial I bite my lip and place my phone away, it's finally time to be with my family my daughter and to say goodbye to Zweli...

Looking back at my life here I’ve finally accomplished all the things I wanted to do during this long solo journey away from home and this chapter of my life is now completed, In the best way possible in fact.

I could not ask for more since the main goal has been achieved, it took Thabo to dig down inside of me to make me realize that I'm not my pain, I now understand who Portia is, she a calmer, wiser, slower, finest, better version of myself.

I'm so grateful that the world and its beautiful people have shaped that little, scared, lonely “girl” that was desperately crying at the airport five years back after running away from home.

That  girl does not exist anymore and she has been replaced by a stronger, fulfilled, empowered woman who loves herself and the world around,

I put my hands on my face and look down, trying to calm my self, I'm tapping my feet as anxiety and thinking takes over,
I smell his Cologne as he takes a seat next to me, I'm even scared to look at him, just thinking about how I ran off in his house this morning.

" maBiyela"
He says with his voice that always send shivers down my spine
I raised my face to face him my long hair fall on my face, he moves them with his finger and tuck them behind my ear and looks at me,

He smiled, God I think I'm falling for this guy, its how he looks at me, his physical appearance that just sucks the air out of my lungs, how can such an old guy look so hot,
