Thandolwethu His Love

Chapter Eight

Melokuhle's POV

Yes! The day I've been looking forward to for months is finally here, I woke up at 04:30 and got ready. I have a new hairstyle, new nails and a new dress-I look so beautiful. I'm wearing my favourite colour, it's a nude purple tight burlap sack, it's so pretty-trust me; it brings out my curves. I'm wearing black pencil heels, a silver necklace and of course my mother's engagement ring for good luck-it's stunning and my make-up looks amazing.

I got to work around 06:50, I set up the boardroom and made sure the presentation was ready. I had breakfast then called my sister

''Good morning'' Me

''I know, just don't scream''

''I'm actually nervous'' Me

''Send me a picture, I want to see your full outfit''

''Will do, wish me luck''

''You have talent, do your best''

''Thank you, bye''

''Bye'' Her

It's 07:30 now, people are walking in slowly. The conference starts at 09:00

''Hey woman of the day'' Imani

''Hey...

''You're going to do great, don't fret it'' Her

''Thank you''

''When last did you see your lover boy?'' Her

''It's not like that, we went on one date''

''I know you like him already'' Her

''Bye Imani, it was nice talking to you''

Did I fail to mention I went out with Jason, yes the guy from the club that is. He's actually an interesting person, he plays rugby and is a graphics designer by profession. I don't know how I feel about him, he's very sweet, shy and honest which is the main turn off, I like assertive, strong willed men-like he would get jealous you went out without telling him type of thing. I know that's Lubanzi but I have loved that man and cannot seem to find another like him. But today is a great day and I should enjoy it

Phone rings-it's Jason. Speak of the devil

''Hey beautiful''

''Hey, how are you?'' Me

''I'm fine and you?''

''I'm ok''

''That's great, I just called to wish you good luck for your work thing today'' Him

''You remembered, thank you'' Me

''Ok bye, I'll see you after work for dinner. We should celebrate''

''Most definitely, thank you'' Me

''Ok bye, see you later''

He hangs up

It's 08:55, everybody is here. We're now waiting for the CEO and his business partners, the room looks tense. I will be told when to enter for my presentation, I hope everything goes well. I got called in at 10:00am, I walked in and before I could greet I felt my heart stop. Sphakeme is the CEO? Why is Lubanzi and Sibonelo here? What's going on? I think our thoughts were the same because they looked at each other and then back at me like they've seen a ghost. This can't be happening-I start hyperventilating I've sacrificed so much for these people to not find me. I felt my body fall, I couldn't breathe

I woke up in a hospital, the first thing I wanted to do was call Nkanyezi and tell her to run but I was too late, she was already at my bedside

''You're awake, thank God!'' Her
