I dont know what this heaviness was on top of me. I could feel something pressing me down soon after i felt like i was being penetrated. I tried so hard to move but i couldn't. I attempted opening my eyes at least and after much effort they slowly opened. The room was dark but some light from outside shone in and there he was the devil himself, all sweaty and breathing heavily on top of me. I wanted to scream but my voice failed me, i couldn't even move my body. "This isn't happening no it must be a dream it cant be". I thought to myself. Since my body wouldn't help me and my voice failed me i slowly closed my eyes again hoping to never wake up. I kept thinking surely death was a better fate than this. I just wanted to be numb. I wished with all my might to just die at that very moment. I just lay there motionless and let that monster finish before he finished i slipped back into a deep sleep.
I saw a woman so happy playing in the yard with her child. They looked so happy, it was as though i was looking at them. I smiled. They looked so happy it was contagious. I wanted that too. Suddenly the woman got up with such speed and grabbed her daughter's arm. What was she running from, that's when i saw them. Men with guns running after them. I was scared for them i wanted to shout and warn the lady and her child but my voice failed me. The woman kept running with the child crying and screaming she's tired.
Woman: sheshisa Nomzamo!! (hurry up Nomzamo) baseduze( they are near). The men with guns fired shots i gasped as the woman fell to the ground. The little girl fell into an open manhole. The man then saw me and came straight at me then i heard a loud bang!!. I woke up in a cold sweat. The Sphiwe bastard passed out beside me. What should i do now? With much effort feeling came back to my body i was about to get out of the bed when the jerks phone rang. I quickly assumed my position pretending to be in deep sleep.
Sphiwe: sure?
Caller: Mamela la wena slima ( listen here you idiot) if you still want your money and you dont have a death wish then make sure you deliver that bitch to me dead or alive i know you took her!!
Sphiwe: sure boss lady nakanjani ksasa ngyamletha(definitely tomorrow im bringing her.) he hung up. " but for now we still having fun right princess. He brushed his finger against my cheek. I wanted to just wake up and pounce on that piece of shit! But i had to lay still i couldn't risk him knowing i heard his conversation.
This must be the person who wants to kill me and this fool must have set Menzi up. I waited for him to get on top of me and take advantage of me again, but he never did instead i heard him now snoring. " Nxa lenja le" i thought to myself. I opened my eyes but still lay in bed i had to think of a plan how would i escape these people with no money. I couldn't go back to my place they could be watching it. I shook Sphiwe to see if he was really asleep, he didnt budge. I gently got up. Looked around the room locating my clothes. I found them on the floor next to some empty beer bottles. A thought crossed my mind to just smash those bottles on his face. But i had to keep my composure, this low life was not worth it. His day is coming. I got dressed quietly watching him snoring. I saw his pants i went over to search for some money, taking his car would be too risky what if they would track me using it. In his wallet i found about R800. I took all of it and headed to the door still watching whether he wasnt moving. A rat ran across my feet cishe ngaquleka ( i nearly fainted ) i almost let out a scream then i remembered the bigger rat who was more dangerous. As silently as i could i opened the door and tiptoed out. I walked out the passage and hurried out that dodgy place.
All these years i have stayed in Johannesburg i hated the hustle and bustle of the inner city streets but tonight i found comfort in these streets. Indeed this city never sleeps even at night you found people walking up and down with the occasional drunk stumbling out of the tarven. Here i was again alone and scared and abused not knowing who to reach out to for help. This time my Rose wasn't going to come get me. It was just me against these cruel people.
