Love And War Season 1

Chapter 15

-GUGULEZWE

I switch my phone on and I have a dozen missed calls from mom, aunt and Sakhile. I dial mom first as I'm walking home

"Mama"

"Gugu what the hell? I've been worried sick about you"

She says as soon as she answers, she's in panic mode

"Mom, I'm fine. How are you?"

I ask

"Gugu you couldn't breathe. Is everything OK?"

She says sounding really worried

"Mama I don't know what is going on. All of this is confusing for me and being told constantly that a lot is coming my way doesn't help the situation or clear the confusion. Mom what is going on?"

I ask with a firm voice

"Baby even the little I know won't clear up your confusion. All I know is that you and Sebe's relationship won't be a smooth ride. Even being together will take a miracle"

I stop, I'm confused right now. What?

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

I don't realise I'm in the middle of the road until a car sends me flying and I land on the floor half conscious. My whole body is in pain, the person gets out of the car and walks up to me, my vision is blurry

"Hlukana no Sebe. She's mine!"

The person says and drive's off leaving me slowly going unconscious and soon it's lights out for me.

I wake up to machines beeping and an oxygen mask covering my mouth and nose. My whole body is painful I can't move an inch

"Don't move, you only going to hurt yourself even more"

Aunty says sitting beside me

"You really are stupid!"

Sakhile says standing by his mother, I chuckle and that alone hurts. He removes my mask

"Gugu what happened?"

I shrug trying to think

"A car hit me"

I say. Sakhile chuckles

"Obviously dummy! But how? How did it happen?"

"I don't know. One minute I'm talking to mom on the phone and the next I'm flying"

I say, Sakhile looks at me squinting his eyes at me

"Where is he? Where's my son?"

Mom shouts coming towards my room. How long have I been in here kanti?

"Ma'am you can't go in there"

Someone says trying to stop her, she walks in and clasps her mouth

"How long was I out kanti?"

I ask looking at Sakhile

"Long enough for Makazi to get here"

He says with a chuckle. This guy!

"How are you Makazi?"

He asks but mom is too busy worried about me to answer him

"Gugu how did this happen?"

She asks settling on the chair on the other side of my bed

"I don't know Mah"

Dad walks in
