007.

Brandon Mchaba.

"Calm down , tell me what happened?" I said to Lorraine as she frantically explained something to me.

"I said Mandisa is dead!" My eyes popped out of my sockets in suprise , I felt my heart start thumping against my ribcage at an un -normal  speed "How could she be dead she left my house after I told her the police were coming."

"Exactly I got a call from my insurance company telling me that my car got into an accident , that it exploded forensic is on their way there." she cried as she held on to her legs , Lorraine came into my house saying she took an uber to get here cause she was scared of what Mandisa was going to do ,so when she was on her way here she got a call saying her car was involved in the biggest accident yet , I sat beside her and hugged her but she pushed me away.

"It's all your fault ,all your fault!" she cried , Shaquille came into the room carrying a glass and a jug filled with lemons and water. "Take this to drink it might calm you down." she told Lorraine , but Laur wasn't having it.

"And you eAudacity engaga! My friend is dead and her bodies not even in her coffin yet but your already galavanting around with her fiance."

"Lorraine stop! Mandisa didn't deserve to die , but I was not going to allow her to abuse me."

"Why do you say that Mandisa loved you!" I sighed and rubbed my beard. "Mandisa did love me, but she loved the control she had on me she wanted me by her side and i stayed there but she started hitting me and ... forcefully getting sex from me."

"Rape! A man raped! Where have you ever heard that! Then you were never a man to begin with."

Shaquille stood up and walked towards Lorraine and slapped her "If in this case it was Mandisa going through that you would've believed her without a doubt right." I looked at my feet , maybe Lorraine is right maybe I'm not a man to begin with...I allowed Mandisa to push me around.

"Yes I would've believed her cause she's a woman!"

"And that's why today women can get away with anything cause we are backed up by societies point of view of that a woman would never do this but look women have turned into thief's! Women were ridiculed because they couldn't do a man's job ,and well a woman is doing it today so what is it hard to believe that if a man can abuse a man , what makes it hard for a woman to abuse a man! And don't think I didn't notice the blood on your neck!" Shaquille said , standing up for me but that made me feel even more less than a man, I felt like a boy who's mother is shouting at the other boy that hurt her son.

"I got hurt." Lorraine said and she looked shamelessly to her hands "Don't lie, I know Mandisa did it , she surely had that look in her eyes when she did it , that psycho glare she always does when she wants something she can't get." I finally said after since Shaquille has been talking.

"She didn't mean it ,she was heartbroken." laur said and I sighed, I stood up taking my shirt off and I showed her the mark only Mandisa and Qu have ever seen.

She looked up at me and was questioning why i was taking off my shirt "You see this mark here...Mandisa wanted to warn me she said , she said it's all hers and that no one should touch it , Mandisa made her mark on , she marked her territory and she was determined to finish the job .." I cleared my throat.

"One day when I was sleeping i didn't feel her moving around , she tied my hands and legs to the bed ,she heated the tip of the knife and started carving the shape of the first letter of her name 'M' and she said to me from now on your mine uyandiva , I think ever since then the love disappeared slowly.

Qu was there to love every scar of mine and every bruise that Mandisa had ever done." I put my T-shirt back on and Lorraine just stared at me.

"Your lying!your lying Brandon , not my best friend Mandisa! Not her." she sobbed and laid on the sofa crying, I sighed and climbed the stairs to my room , in the room lay pictures of Mandisa on my side and her side of the bed , I picked one up and hugged it. "Mandisa I wish you could know how much I loved you , it's just ....you loved power and I loved you , the power of the love I had over you , you misused it and pushed me away , I will always love you, I pray that God heals whatever caused you so much pain to act out.

I pray that he heals you , and helps heal me , may your soul rest in peace Mandisa , just wish we ended our relationship in a different way, not this way...not in this way.''

I took out my phone and dreaded this call but I had to do it out of respect for my ex. "What do you want boy?"

The groff rude voice I had grown accustomed to "Uhm Tata - "

" - I'm Mr Mtwha to you ,"

" Uyhm yes , Ntate Mtwha , we've just gotten news that Mandisa might have passed on."

"Yima Uthini!? Zizo woza!" he called out to mam' Zizo "Repeat what you said boy!"

"We've just gotten news that Mandisa might have passed on." I heard wailing in the background and I knew Mam' Zizo was crying , afterall that was her only child , her one and only child gone.

"What happened boy!" Bab' Mtwha shouted through the phone "She got into a car accident." I said my voice trembling, "It was a messy accident , the car ..uhm exploded."

"What! This is all your fault you killed my daughter boy!" i sighed , her father never liked me so now this is an addition to hate.

I heard Mam' Zizo say in the background that Tata had disowned Mandisa so they were arguing , I dropped the call and I slumped onto my bed , this was a mess ....a very tricky mess. It's bad , Ku ' rough , very very rough.
