Lisa's confessions

Chapter 16

5am AT K&K GUESTHOUSE

KHOLWANI'S POV

I am still shaken by last night's incident but we called the police and reported a missing person and gave them all the necessary details of what happened and they promised to get back to me as soon as they get a lead. I know they probably won't. It's the South African system after all. I resorted to trying my luck with my dad but he will surely ban me from coming to the guesthouse or most probably tell me to look for her myself because I am irresponsible. The problem is my dad doesn't know that I have finally made up my mind about my intentions with Lisakhanya. I see us going far to be quite frank. For as long as I've known her, I am content with being with her and her alone. I care about her but my dad won't hear none of it. He's lost his trust in me but that's a story of another day.

My last hope was Lethabo. Not that I had much of a choice. He is her gaurdian and he deserves to know. God knows her mom is most probably losing her mind. I explained everything to Lethabo on the phone. From the fake sleepover to the abduction and he hung up on me. He was shocked to find out that we are dating, he's probably fuming wherever he is. I also updated Selena on what's happening and she was hysterical. Lethabo is on his way here and I'm still shit scared.

"Khululeka bafo, she'll be okay." Reuben says patting my back.

I lazily turn my gaze at him and chuckle. I continue sipping on my Black Label. He is not exactly helping by comforting me with lies. I know Lethabo, he'll come gunsblazing.

The door is pushed open with so much force and I'm guessing it's him. I raise my head and disappointment is one word to describe the look on his face. He definitely looks like someone who just woke up. He walks up to me dragging his feet and I swallow hard, placing my beer on the table. When he's finally a few meters away from me he stops on his tracks.

"Ukae Lisakhanya?" He asks calmly clearly knowing the full story. Maybe he thinks it's some kind of prank.

Before I even respond a punch lands on my face making me stumble backwards.

"Have you lost your mind Aaron? I invite you to my house as a guest and trusted neighbour kganti you are busy fucking Lisakhanya!" He roars.

Another punch stops me from raising my head and Reuben decides not to get involved. He's definitely afraid to stop him. Coward.

"Ebile wangtela saarn. You are 25 for Christ's sake, she's 18 you dumbass. If I don't find Lisakhanya, you better pray to your God that I don't paralyze you or send you to your ancestors wangkutlwa?"

I nod repeatedly. I respect him way too much to even face him man to man. He turns around, making his way out and I lick the blood oozing out of my lips. Raise my head and try to put my jaws back in place.

Lethabo unexpectedly shoots my foot still walking towards the door and I scream in agony falling to the ground. That's when everyone rushes down the stairs worryingly. Blood is oozing out of my socks and the pain is unbearable. I did not see that coming! Fuck.

Lethabo: "That's for making my pregnant fiance cry."

Wait ausi Bri is pregnant? Disturbing my thoughts he fires another shot aiming right at my ear but the bullet hits the edge of my ear. So close for me to turn deaf but not close enough. The women scream moving away from me but he nonchalantly stares at me in anger. That vein that is looking forward to pop out of his head is an indication of how pissed off he is.

Lethabo: "And that's for ruining my good night sleep. Nxx." He heads towards the exit and bangs the door. Leaving me groaning in pain. Moses calls the ambulance meanwhile Joylin removes my sock to see how deep the wound is. Flip! I was so close to losing a toe. Heck he could have even struck a vein. I just thank God I'm alive.
