***Blast from the Past ***
🌹Rosette🌹
Prison is my least favorite place yet here I am back to the same tall walls I walked out on a few months ago
I breathe out loud and set on the visitation stool waiting for Mehlo,
The grey old lady walked in escort
by guards, she smiled when she saw me,
We shared that warm hug that anyone behind these walls desperately needs,
Her: it's good to see you "
Me: likewise "
Her: ooh my God look at you "
Me: what can I say I thought I will find doom waiting for me outside but I found a small window of opportunity and I took it "
She nodded and smiled,
Her: Smart girl"
I looked down nodding, if it wasn't for this woman right here, jail would have swallowed me whole, but she groomed me to be this fearless woman I am today and for that, I will forever be grateful
Me: I got your message "
She turned and looked at the guard,
Her: make me invincible "
And just like that the guards switched off the camera and alarm system and walked outside giving us privacy
I handed her a packet of cigarettes, and a lighter, she smiled and started smoking,
Her: I have eyes and ears inside and out!"
Me: I know that otherwise, I would have not come "
Him: your Husband is back and he is closer to you than you know "
Me: How?"
Her: just saying never let your guard down because shit is going to get pretty messy"
Me: Mehlo you speaking in codes "
Her: am I?"
I sat back and looked at her, this was one of her ways of talking, she wears a poker face and makes me guess the card she has,
Me: Ginger?"
She nodded taking a puff
Her: the bitch has been in his pay role even before you made picture in that man's life, "
I swallowed, this where I learn the truth about Ginger and Oyama, am I ready for his? I breathe out loud and looked at her
Me: I know that... the question is, is she still loyal to him now?"
Her: if you have a child with a man at the age of 14 what do you think?"
Me: what?"
I felt my armpit getting soaked etching like crazy, I stood up and started walking around
Me: a child!!! "
Her: she is a grown ass woman now "
Me: and ...does...does, Oyama know?"
She nodded pulling her cigarette
Me: damn it!! All this year's she had been his bitch?"
Her: pretty much so"
Me: where is the child?"
Her: Just like what happened to you, happen to her, Oyama does not have any fatherly bone inside of him, so when the child turned 3 or 5 years they gave it up for adoption..."
Me: all this time!!!....all this time Ginger lied through her teeth about not having an affair with my husband "
She looked at me with a raised eyebrow, urg I just realizing that I just called that busted husband! , I clicked my tongue and looked away,
Her: it's not like you trusted her, you knew she was fucking Oyama, you just turned a blind eye, I don't blame you, love makes us blind vele, "
I turned and looked at her with a frown
Her: Look Rose the tides are changing the only thing you have to do is find that girl and you paralyze Ginger with whatever connection she has with Oyama, "
Me: what?"
Her: it's a game of dominoes, Ginger knows too much and she is a valuable asset to Oyama, if you cripple her from his hold you got the upper hand "
Me: what makes you so sure she will band just like that "
She laughed shaking her head,
Her: you are a mother you know that kind of love mothers have for their offspring, find the child and you will see that there is nothing as powerful as mother’s love, and nothing as healing as a child’s soul..."
I held my mouth in shock, I can't believe this, the bitch has been fucking Oyama when she was just a preteen, all along... I thought... Fuck!
I folded my arms looking at Mehlo's smirk and I knew that this information does not come cheap,
Her: I know this is not free information you need something?"
Her: you know me too well "
Me: What can I help you with ?"
Her: ever since you left, the business had been running low, there is a new group terrorizing our group we need money, mostly power!"
Me: how am I supposed to do that Mehlo, while I'm outside?"
Her: you just do the trade and the girls outside will handle the rest "
Me: trade for what?"
Her: white powder"
Me: what?"
I leaned closer to her " how and where the fuck am I going to get drugs?"
Her: talk to Samukelo he knows a guy that knows a guy, he will make it happen "
I held my head bitch ways too much about all the people I'm connected to, damn it!
Me: I'm out on parole this can land me right back in here"
Her: you smart, I know you and I know how you think, once bitten twice shy... You will make it possible... Without implicating yourself."
I sigh looking up
Me: we talking how much here?"
Her: 50 grand...whatever profit we make we split, till my debt is paid"
Me: only one trade right ?"
Her: oof cause, "
I nodded,
Her: one more thing..."
I sigh and looked at her, She took out a file from her jacket, I looked at it and the first picture on the file was Sandile
" What is this?"
Her: I believe he's the man that is trying to get into your pants, I hope for your sake you not jumping from one Oyama to another, ask him about his past if he loves you like they claim he does he will tell you everything if not the proof is in the file"
The Guard banged the door,
" Mehlo time up! "
I took the file and shoved it inside my bag
Her: will keep in touch "
Me: wait where do I start looking for the girl"
" Zama Zama tuck shop it is somewhere in KZN Endwedwe or was it Stanger...yoo I'm too old my memory is not good anymore "she side smile
Me: Mehlo you doing it again!"
She chuckled and stood up, she gave me a warm hug
Her: the map is THE mother"
Me: Mehlo!"
Her: don't be a stranger now "
I side smile shaking my head, this is how she gives out information, clues, and puzzles for me to solve on my own, damn I hate this game.
Me: it was good to see you " I secretly pushed a roll of money in her pocket, she winked as I watched her walking out.
The minute I stepped out of prison I felt my tummy turn and just like that ran to the side of the road and vomited, my head was more conflicted than ever, at this point I want to squash Ginger, for being a two-faced bitch, but yet again I'm sick in my stomach that for year's I shared a bed with a pedophile!
