Part 60

Zodwa ( Mpume mom )

I was in the in seating room with Ntombi ( Zoe Aunt ) she has been a great help, since I'm doing everything on my own, she has even put some of her money in
making my daughter's birthday the perfect event, she helps me get rid of Ntatho my sister in law, I don't even know if I should even call her that, what I had with my x- husband was not even a marriage.

Ntombi: " she will cause trouble on Saturday "
I nodded and I could not spoil this day for Mpume and I'm too old to keep running, they might as well bring it on I'm more than ready now.
Me: " I can not keep running, besides they don't have any proof, it's just accusation so it's my word against there's "

Her:" I know my friend but be careful, secrets like this always come out "
Me: " I know but I can not help but think if I allowed him to have his way with me, where would I have ended off, you know what my husband was a bustard, and I
hope he rots in hell "
Her: " don't speak ill of the dead sisi "
Me: " nakhoke you have turned to mom mfundisi now? "
We laughed while sipping on wine, Ntombi has taught me this lifestyle of drinking wine just to keep calm, and I have learned to enjoy it,

Me: " you Know Mpume want the truth "
She looked at me and shook her head
Me: " I don't know where to start, what if she hates me and worse run away, I mean I taught her to run when things get tough "
Her: " she is old enough, to handle it"

I was not sure but I was tired of carrying such a heavy burden and I want mpume to know that I'm not Her biological mother and her mother also my little sister was
having an affair with my husband and she was the result I stole her from the hospital, and ran away with her and since that day I never looked back, my husband
found me when I was living in the Eastern Cape I thought I was never going to be found, we argued a lot till I pushed him, but he fell on the edge of a sink and there was blood everywhere, he died in that spot, it was a mistake, but who would have believed me? I buried him there, burned the house, and ran again, I been all over South Africa running from my past but it
always seems to catch up with me,

Selby found me I was so lost and he used that in his favor, he offered to protect me since he knew my past, and in return I
needed to do him a huge favor, a man like him does not help anyone without wanting anything in return so I made a deal with a devil, and time to cash up is closing in.

Ntombi is the only person that I told about my past, she never
Judged me but she told me to change my identity and look to blend in with everyone in the area, but looks like my demons are slowly resurfacing, I don't know how Ntatho traced me but I know that my ex husband family want my blood, and I'm not going down without a fight.

I woke up on grass met, my body was so heavy I looked at my surroundings It was not familiar I was in a rondavel, my eyes moved around the house there was
fire in the center of the room, and whatever that is cooking smelled good, I seat up straight trying to figure out how I got here, an orderly lady stepped in she
looked at me and smiled

her: Good you up we have a lot to do and no time to waist"
Me:" Sawbona "
She laughed " arrogant like your father I see, come help me" she stepped out and left me perplex in thought
Me: " who are you? " I asked her the minute I stepped out, looks like the granny house is in the mountain surrounded by fog, it's the one in my dream, it fuckin cold in here, she threw me a blanket as if she can read my mind I wrapt it around me, she was busy pealing some Millie's, she looked at me and focused on what she was doing

Me:" where am I ? "
Her:" don't you want to know who you are first? "
I looked at her " make yourself tee and stop steering at me like I'm ga host or something "
I sigh I sat down I pored a cup of tee that was in old cattle set by the fire
