Cursed - My Name Is Karma

CHAPTER 35

SEASON FINALE
SIBABALWE

Sikhanyiso ended up really coming for supper. To get him off my back, I gave him what he wanted, a date. So there I am right now getting dressed for a dinner date. Kwenama is not at home for the first time in forever. She said she is having dinner with Monte at his house. I don’t know Monte that well but I hope that he really cares for her.

I wear my grey pleated off shoulder above knee heap sleeve plain dress and black point toe stiletto court heels. I look at the mirror to see if my make-up is still good. I take my black handbag and head out. I down a tequila shot just to calm my nerves. A few minutes later, a car drives in. I know it’s him. I don’t even wait for him to come in. I walk outside and catch him just as he is climbing out of the car.

Sikhanyiso: “wow.” He swallows hard looking at me from head to toe. “You look… wow.”
Me: “thank you for the wow. We can go now.”
Sikhanyiso: “hey. I am still complementing you.”

Me: “I know I look beautiful. Can we go now?” he smiles and shakes his head. We climb inside the car and he drives out. He has nice choice in music. He is playing Green by Kaina. I found myself jamming and humming to the song.

Sikhanyiso: “you love this song?” I smile and nod.
Me: “I heard it playing in Resort to Love and I purchased it after the movie.”
Sikhanyiso: “I also heard it on that movie. We should definitely do Netflix and chill sometime soon.” I shake my head.
Me: “Netflix and chill with you definitely always end up with clothes off and loads of sex. So no. I will pass.” He laughs.

Sikhanyiso: “how long are you going to resist me? I haven’t even started charming you. I stove sisaku 0 babes.” I laugh and look outside the window. We get to the restaurant and we head inside. We are ushered to a table. We sit down and we place our orders. “So tell me about yourself.”

Me: “thatha myself.” he laughs.
Sikhanyiso: “I am just keeping the conversation going.”

Me: “you already know that I am 20 years old. I am from Eastern Cape. My family owns a farm. It’s not that huge. In fact it is really small but it brings in money, so I guess it is something. I am your sister’s assistant and also housemate. I dumped my last boyfriend before I came here because long distance relationship was too impractical for me. I am young so I didn’t wanna tie myself to that situation.”

Sikhanyiso: “if he were to move here, what would you do?” I chuckle.
Me: “I don’t get back with my exes. It’s a rule I made. Unlike you who usually would jump to an opportunity if you were to find one of your exes in your bed with her legs wide open.” He laughs and looks down.

Sikhanyiso: “guilty as charged but I am trying to change. For you. But I won’t acquire that if you remind me of my terrible self after every 5 seconds. Give me a chance to prove myself.” I sigh and look at him.
Me: “if I were to give you a chance, I would put you on a month probation. No sexual intercourse for a month. Just us getting to know each other on an emotional level.” He laughs and shakes his head in disbelief.

Sikhanyiso: “you are joking right?” I look at him with a serious face on. “Holy fuck. You’re not joking. You are absolutely crazy.”
Me: “okay then. Watch me walk my crazy self out of this date.” I attempt to stand up and he quickly holds my hand. He sighs loudly and looks straight into my eyes.
Sikhanyiso: “fine. Put me on probation. I don’t mind. I am sorry how I reacted. I really like you and I would like to see where this goes.”

Me: “but you love sex. Sex free month does not only include us. It means you will be abstaining from sex. You won’t sleep with exes or one night stands. No hook ups. Are you ready for that?” he huffs.
Sikhanyiso: “I will need you to work with me. This means that we would have to do activities that will make me forget a little about sex.”

Me: “we can do thirty dates in thirty days.” He gives me a weak smile.
Sikhanyiso: “you are very tough and stubborn for your age. You have a backbone and I admire that.” I roll my eyes and look down. Let’s see if he is going to survive and pass my test.

KWENAMA
It has been a week since I made things official with Monte. I couldn’t deny what I feel for him. For the first time in my life, Aphrodite the goddess of Love made an appearance. She didn’t say anything to me. She just smiled and then disappeared. I had just done my recent assignment where an accountant was framed for stealing money at his job. He got fired and lost everything. From his house to his family. Fake family if I tell you. Well I exposed the person who framed him and he was compensated and reinstated at work.

I wake up the following morning and go bath. When I am done, I get dressed in a brown pocket front corduroy overall with black turtleneck and black slippers. I head downstairs and find Siba making coffee. That’s the only thing she is good at. She is still terrible at cooking but what I love the most is that she doesn’t give up.

Me: “good morning sister in law.” She turns with a smile and quickly frowns and her eyes pop out as she takes in my appearance.
Siba: “have you looked in the mirror lately?” I chuckle.
Me: “you have seen my face numerous times. What is different today?”
Siba: “when was the last time you looked in the mirror?” I frown.

Me: “a long while back. I don’t even remember my own reflection but I know I am still hideous and disgusting.” I say with a small laugh and start taking out breakfast ingredients. I suddenly change my mind. “I think a cereal will do today. What do you think Siba?” I turn and she is no longer there. Weird. Anyways I put back the breakfast ingredients. I take out bran flakes and pour it in a bowl. I put in milk and I sit down. I start eating. The minion walks in the kitchen with a mirror in her hand. “What is it Siba?”

Siba: “just look.” I scoff and roughly take the mirror from her hands. I look at my reflection and I nearly fall down. What in the actual fuck? My big pimples have decreased in size. They just look like normal pimples.
Me: “am I seeing things?” she shakes her head. Her eyes are glassy and she looks like she is seconds away from crying.
Siba: “you are going back to normal. OMG! I am so happy.”

She attacks me with a hug and starts sniffing. I just pat her back because I don’t know what to do. I don’t even know how to react to my current change. I am really shocked. We finally pass the emotional session and she eats her cereal. A quick lightning breaks our moment.

I rush outside and find Antevorta in the middle of the yard. With naked human eyes you wouldn’t see her, just something so white and shiny and blinding. I step forward and her eyes meet mine. They are clear white.

Antevorta: “WAR IS COMING. FATES HAVE BEEN SEALED IN THE DARK WORLD. THERE WILL BE CASUALTIES. GODDESSES HAVE PICKED SIDES. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE WAR AND THE AFTERMATH. IT WON’T BE PLEASANT. WAR IS COMING, SOON.” She then disappears. I sigh and look back to see Siba frozen on the doorstep.

Siba: “was that an actual goddess?” I frown. Did a human just see a goddess?
