Cursed - My Name Is Karma

CHAPTER 29

I cook lunch and dinner for everyone. I serve lunch and after that my brothers leave promising that they will come back. We also exchange numbers. Siba is very quiet and I am actually enjoying this peace I am getting. I am a bit concerned about their safety. Lord knows I would go crazy if something were to happen to them. But I have faith that the goddesses will look after them.

The following morning, I wake up and go for a jog. During the jog, I decide to take a break and go meditate a little on the park near my house. I go near the river and sit down. I block every thought in my mind and allow calmness to rule me. I just sit there and meditate for about half an hour before I get disturbed by someone clearing their throat behind me. I huff and stand up. I turn and I am shocked to find Monte standing there looking at me.

Me: “can I help you?” he gives me a small smile before his expression turns to a serious one. Okay.
Monte: “so it is you. You really thought you could outsmart me? I never forget a voice and I knew that there was something familiar about your eyes. So you show up in George and sleep with me, after that you just disappear into thin air and move on with your life like nothing happened.”

Me: “how did you find me?”
Monte: “nothing a few bucks and a private investigator can’t do.”
Me: “why are you here?”

Monte: “why did you come and have a one night stand with me? Are you attracted to me? I mean that can be the only explanation. Or maybe you are some kind of a psycho or stalker.” I shrug.
Me: “maybe I am a stalker.”

Monte: “remove your mask so that I can see you. I have seen how you look like before. No need hiding from me now.” I chuckle.
Me: “you would go back to George on feet if you were to see my true form. You wouldn’t be able to handle it. It would give you nightmares.”
Monte: “what are you talking about?”

Me: “I am not human. I am a demon. I just seduced you and slept with you because I was lusting over you. Nothing deep about it.” I dismiss him as I pick up my water bottle, ready to end this conversation and go back home. “We are done here.”
Monte: “no we are not.” He steps closer to me and attempts to take off my mask.

Me: “NO!” I shout before his hand can even reach my face. The impact of my scream is too much. It sends him flying across the park. He lands on the ground. “Holy fuck. What did I just do?” I walk to him. He is groaning in pain. I kneel next to him.

Phoenix: “Your Majesty, step away from the human.” I turn to look at her. She is standing behind me.
Me: “why? What just happened?”
Phoenix: “I need you to calm down.”
Me: “why are you speaking to me like I am some lunatic?”

Phoenix: “look around you.” I look around and I can see that the weather has changed. It is very windy and the river isn’t calm anymore. “You need to calm down. Don’t panic. What is happening right now, is the result of your current mood. Stand up, try to calm down and move away from the human.”

I do as she says and stand a bit far from Monte. I try some breathing exercises to calm me down and it seems to work because the weather goes back to normal after a few moments. She lowers herself to Monte’s level and places her hands on his stomach. Within a few minutes, he sits up and looks around. His eyes then land on me.

Phoenix: “you can leave now. I will take care of him.” I look at him, sigh and then jog back to my house. I need explanations. I can’t believe I nearly killed Monte. What is wrong with me? How can I do magic without even citing a spell?

SIBABALWE
I am not karma’s favourite person these days. So I will try by all means to stay clear of her. I prepare for the day ahead and then request an Uber. Karma and I are not on good terms, so I don’t know how she would feel with me using her cars. The Uber arrives and I climb in. it drives away. I left her a not stating that I am off to work so that she won’t get worried.

I get to work and walk inside. The construction workers are very quick and they do know their job. But what do you expect from DCC employees? They finished renovating and furnishing our offices in a matter of two weeks. We were told that we would be able to launch the Foundation in three months because they will be done with all the revamps and all. I walk to the floor that contains offices and it is empty. I just assume that they are in the boardroom, so I heard there. All the team members are there except for the supervisor. I greet and they greet back. I then join them.

Me: “where is Melanie?”
Cabangile: “she is meeting someone out of town. She will be back after lunch.” Cabangile is the one who handles the finances.
Me: “oww I remember that meeting.”
Happy: “you have to meet up with umama wezintombi in like 30 minutes.” Happy is more like the PRO. I frown.

Me: “but I am not supposed to do meetings.”
Cabangile: “well you do now. Melanie is out of town, so you have to step in. here are some notes.” I huff and take them.

I then stand up and head out. Luckily the meeting is in a restaurant that is 10 minutes away from our offices. I catch a cab and then it drives me to the restaurant. I get there 5 minutes earlier and then settle down. The woman whom I am meeting with comes and our meeting commences. After an hour she leaves feeling satisfied with all my answers. I breathe out loud as she makes her way out. Gosh, way to nail a surprise meeting.

Voice: “thought it was you.” I look up to see Dr. Phakathi standing there in a golf t-shirt and chino shorts.
Me: “stalker.” He laughs and makes himself comfortable opposite me.
