Turning Table

Part 107

***Wild Goose Chase ***

🌹Lethukuthula🌹

"You see that was not hard "
He said rubbing my shoulders, I looked at my resignation letter go through, so this is how my life has come up too, I love a man so much that I threw my life away just because I have to prove to him that I chose him, I know that many people don't believe in love and second chances. Some people don’t believe it even exists at all. But I do.

Love is all about chance.

I had the chance to know him the real him The Mlondi Bhengu. That first time I saw him in the in guess station staring at me, I started to choose him. That first night we meet at the restaurant and took a long walk, talked for hours about nothing and everything all at once I chose him. That first fight we had, after making love I thought I might lose him right then, when I shot him, and yet I chose him.

I kept choosing him over and over again after that.

Remember when we were young when they said that love is not complicated but so easy that it complicates things?
It’s true. Love is all about our choices. Love is holding on even when it is so easy to let go when you have to. Love is choosing another’s happiness even when it hurts or is confusing. Love is trying to smile away the pain because you know you just can’t force things to be.

I had the chance to love him and so I did. I loved him on our best days. I loved him on our worst days. And he loved me too, made me happy,
Even when he doubted me, does not trust me but I still choose, I chose his happiness. . . when did the table turn? When did I become this shallow?

He kissed my cheek
Me: stop it "
I said moving his hands away from my shoulders and turning my face away
Him: so we going to fight about this? "
Me: your problem is that you don't trust me "
Him: hawu mamaMtungwa, Sthandwa sami ngisuke nje ngathatha ngo shukela..."

Me: urg shut up!"
He looked at me raising his eyebrow, 
Me: I was also a puppet in Muntu plan"
I said throwing my USB at him
Me: that stick has all your details,  the case, see for yourself that I had no information or whatsoever about you!!!"
Him: baby... "

Me: shut the fuck up and get out of my house "
Him: Lethu now you overreacting"
Me: overreacting!!! Don't bloody give me that bullshit... "
Him: you shouting and insulting me, there are people in the other room! "
Me: ooh!  it was ok when you drag me across the room to lock me in this room intimidated me with your eyes, accusing me of doing something I did not do, fuck you Mlondi!!"
He grinded his teeth and looked at me, I was hoping not to cry but damn it these tears just ran down

Me: you just don't get it... No matter what I do what I say you will still think I'm with you to get you, damn It Mlondi... When I said I chose you I meant it, I chose you because you’re perfectly imperfect, I chose you because you kiss away all of my fears. I chose you because you have the most genuine heart. I chose you because you make reality better than any dream I ever had.
I don't give a damn about your past, about the man the world has painted you to be, because I know the real you... You asked me to choose sides and I told you I will be your Bonnie and you will be Clyde through everything, I said that without a doubt, without hesitation, without fear, and with every beat of my heart. . . but you going to stand here and accuse me of stabbing you in the back, for trying to kill you? how can I when I have fallen so deeply in love with you "

I said with tears running down my face,
" Fuck!" he punched the door, making me flinch,
Him: look mama Ntungwa ngiyaxolisa..."
Me: get out!!" I screamed

The knock-on my bedroom door made me turn my back at him, while I wiped away my tears 
" Mlondi! ... " it was Samkelo knocking like a mad man on my bedroom door
Mlondi: not now!"
Samukelo: don't do anything stupid... Lethu has no part in this... Look just open the door so I can explain!"

Mlondi:" I'm kind of off in the middle of something!" He said moving towards me, and hugging me from behind,
Me: let go of me..." I tried to wiggle myself from his hold but he was too strong

Him:sphalaphala sami, words can not explain the excruciating pain I feel right now, hurting you was never my intention, my heart is shredded, knowing I made you hurt and upset, and worst made you cry,
If only I could undo the mistake  I made for doubting you, . . I just overthink even the slightest thing, and my weakness is that I quickly  jump to conclusions, the thing is in my line of work I overanalyze the smallest of things and I'm sorry that you had to witness that side about me...please forgive me '

" Mlondi!!!" Samkelo shouted banging the door
Mlondi: fuck! ... " he cursed but Samkelo capt knocking or should I say banging my door calling him,

Mlondi breath out loud let go of me after kissing my neck and made his way to the door
Mlondi: yini!!"
He sounded annoyed as he unlocked the door,

Samkelo: Lethu are you ok?" He said badging in my bedroom 
Mlondi: hhayi ndonda you out of line now! what the fuck is it too you!!!"
Mlondi anger was just hard to hide from the tone of his voice, I know these two are best friends so I'm not going to be the cause of them fighting over something so petty
Me: I'm ok Sam " I said turning and facing them, Samkelo frown looking at my eyes
Sam: you made her cry!"

Mlondi looked at me and shook his head running his thumb on his mouth, he did the unthinkable and pushed Samkelo out of my bedroom, the funny thing is Samkelo is a big buffy guy and Mlondi is just tall and toned up, but he manage to throw him out!
Mlondi: what the fuck is wrong with you this is my girlfriend's bedroom what gives you the right to budge in as if you were the man of the house!!"
Me: Mlondi "

He turned and looked at me, that eye alone told me to zip it, good lord why does he intimidate me like this!
He continued to push Samkelo and slammed the door behind him,   I sat on the bed trying to compose myself, but Mlondi loud voice made me jump up, I quickly walked out of the room, and I found Mlondi and Samkelo fighting, testosterone levels were high, fuck how do I stop this!
I looked around the room the other guys have left, damn it!

Mlondi: mama Ntungwa give us a moment "
Me: we got bigger problem and you two are busy acting like kids! Cut it off!"
They both kept quiet and looked at me in shock
Me: good now that is out of the way, let's get to business, you know that I did not leak any information to Muntu so who did? "

I asked Samkelo disregarding the angry look my man is giving me
Samukelo looked at Mlondi, they had this long conversation with their eyes
Me: who the fuck wants to kill my man!!!"
I shouted looking at Samukelo, Mlondi looked at me in disbelief and side smiled,
Mlondi: well talk bro my women needs answers"
I folded my arms and tilted my head waiting for him to swallow the lump on his throat

Samukelo: we fell in her trap, the bitch knew that the security company was a front when we conducted our other business in the club..."
Me:she put two and two together...because in my report it's noted that Shaka runs most of his major operations via car smuggling... "
Mlondi: so all along we thought that Lethu is conducting the investigation but in actual fact, you were the bait...he place you in the bar so that he can have easy access to get to me ?"
He said looking at Samukelo,
Samukelo nodded
Mlondi: fuck!
Me: look let's not jump the gun firstly we don't know how much she knows"
Samkelo:whatever she is planning is big and can destroy us, already she has Rose by the leash...all I'm saying Mfethu is that this could get ugly "
Mlondi: fuck!!!... We have been blindsided "
Me: she used me... Played me! I was the decoy sent on a wild goose chase while she worked in the shadow fuck! "

Samkelo: as much as I did not have all the facts back then I had hunch that..."
Mlondi phone started ringing, I knew that it must be one of his siblings or mother calling him since his smartphone never rings,
He picked it up and I saw his face lightening up,
Him: what ...finally!!
....
Him: sure...I will be there "

He dropped the call and looked at us,
Him:  I need to go home play prince for a few weeks, Ntsika got some girl pregnant and wants to marry her... Babe go pack a bag.. "
Samkelo dropped the glass of water in his hand
Sam: what!!!"
