Its my last day at Bulis and we were just talking about me and my life. The final step was to fix the last thing I broke and we all know what that is. But I'm not suppose to go fix it, basically had to do it from the sidelines. Well how hard can that be, well I will say hella hard cause now I been here for a whole week and I'm still confused, but whatever. At this point it will fix itself.
"Where's your hun and my skaftin?" I ask Buli.
"Really?" She asks then I shrug my shoulders.
"Its food bruh. And my mother wants food too. But now, real talk, when is she meeting our parents. You know how hard it is not to boast to them about her. I mean she's perfect." I say then she smiles and shrugs her shoulders.
"You know I've never been like you and Ntando though. I don't know any of my exes that have met umama notata, unless I'm mistaken." She says.
(Umama notata - mom and dad)
"Nah, true, and I understand. Nam though, I've never introduced any of my exes to them as my girlfriend's, they've always known them to be my friends. With Lerato they figured it out themselves." I say.
(Nam - me too)
"That means Ntando is the bari." She says then I laugh.
(Bari - idiot)
"Yeah. And even now, the only reason they know I'm with uThandile is cause there's zero privacy in that house, and with her, I see some building." I say.
"Yah I'm just lucky I live alone, I guess." She says then I nod my head.
"Yeah, but back to my question. When is she meeting them?" I ask.
"When I'm ready to make her my wife." She says then I widen my eyes.
"So you've been with the hun for three years now, and you not sure yet?" I ask.
"Aviwe, I'm not impulsive like you. I think things through first." She says.
"I'm not impulsive." I say then she shrugs her shoulders.
"Well." She says then I shake my head.
"And, has it never crossed your mind?" I ask.
"It has. It does, everyday, but I wanna be sure. I feel our relationship is too good to be true. We barely argue, we never fight, like it's just perfect, if you ask me to tell you any negative things bout this relationship I wouldn't even be able to tell you." She says.
"Too good to be true my ass. You know damn well you just scared of that kinda commitment. You should be taking all this as a sign. She's the only person who really understands you, and with that understanding, she makes sure things are smooth. Come on, you can't be the therapist and I'm the one telling you your relationship is perfect." I say.
"Exactly. So stop." She says then we laugh.
"Nah ayt. But remember, when she feels like things between the two of you aren't changing and you guys are just in one place the whole time, the relationship isn't going anywhere, she will leave. She's old now and knows what she wants, I know she won't wait for a person who can't be with her like that, when there are people out there who are willing to give her anything and everything." I say patting her back.
"People like who now?" She asks.
"Me." I say confidently then she looks at me.
"Okay, I'm playing not me, but people like me, cause if my heart wasn't with Thandile, yohhh I'd stina the hell outta you." I say.
(I'd stina the hell outta you - I'd take your hun from you)
"Aviwe fokoff." She says then I laugh.
"I mean, I'm just saying. There are vultures out there and they can strike at anytime if you don't claim your territory." I say then Lebo comes with skaftins.
(Skaftins - lunch boxes)
"Such a sweetheart." I say taking the food.
"And Buli. Claim bruh, claim. Having regrets isn't worth it. Rather be impulsive than to lose." I say then stand up.
"And then. What are you talking about?" Lebo asks.
"Okay, you see how you and I have things we talk about that we don't tell Buli?" I ask then she shrugs her shoulders.
"Its the same situation now. So unless she tells you, don't worry." I say then we walk to my car.
"Y'all have secrets?" Buli asks.
"You see how you not happy we have secrets?" I ask.
"She isn't happy either, so don't bring it up." I say then she pushes me.
"Aviwe. Just go." She says then I laugh and hug them.
I get in the car then open the window. "I hope to see you soon." I say to Lebo then look at Buli.
"Gooo." Buli says then I put my hands up in defence.
"I hope so too." Lebo says then Buli looks at her.
"And, when you come. Cook some food for me. Between you and I, your cooking is better than, uhm you know." I say winking at her.
"Yohhh, atleast it's safe to say you won't snitch when I say that. Bruhhh, first time I tasted her food, my life finally began." Buli says then then I look at her.
"Bruhh, has Ntando tasted her cooking?" I ask.
"Nahhh, but he will, cause here's the boy." She says pointing at the gate then I get out of my car as he parks his.
"Ehhh, you didn't tell me he's coming." I say.
"Yes, cause you would've wanted to stay and I can't deal with the both of you together." She says then I shake my head. He gets out of the car.
"Yes." He says then hugs us.
"Lebo Olebogeng." He says then Lebo rolls her eyes.
"The one sibling I can't deal with." She says then we laugh.
"You know you love me." He says teasing her.
"Yes. And annoy me. Why do I feel like I'm more of your sibling then Buli is. Like Aviwe annoys Buli, and loves me." She says then I smile.
"Well, we need a balance in life. Buli is anyways older than me. Aviwe just doesn't respect her." He says.
"Nah, you wrong. I do, I annoy her cause of that. And also I'm scared of her." I say then Buli laughs.
"We can agree to disagree." He says.
"You see, this is why I can't deal with you. Everything has to turn into an argument." I say.
"You like arguing when you know I'm right. So it's you." He says then I shake my head.
"Shap Ntando." I say.
(Cool Ntando)
"Okay, let me go. Goodluck with him." I say.
"Please stay." Lebo says then I laugh.
"Ohh, now you want me to stay." I say.
"Buli, wanted you to go, not me." She says.
"Its fine. Ntando will keep you company." I say.
"Yes. That's why I need some moral support. Or let me come with you." She says then I laugh.
"I love all of you. But I gotta go." I say then get in my car and start it.
"Trust me, I dealt with him for seventeen years. You won't die." I say.
"Byeeeeeeeee." Ntando says waving.
"You are such a child." I say then he rolls his eyes and I hoot and drive off.
