Thingo
(Monday)

I hate Mondays cause it means hangover, siblings brunch,work and all the other stuff  I hate sometimes especially when I feel I wanna be by myself like today o get from the bed take a long asa shower I'm a big girl so I have to I get done tie my natural afro into a low bun I need to visit the salon cause wow I get dressed in all black short mid thigh thights my batman baggy Tshirt some Gucci slip ones and my bucket hat I'm good to go I head to the kitchen and make a smoothie while waiting for my ride *phone rings* shit what does Langa want

"Bhuti"

"Need a ride or what cause I haven't left yet "

"Good how you doing Ohhh I had an..."

"Khahle Thingo I'm not in the mod yes it or no"

"Okay but my ride is a minute away let me walk to the gate"

I walk to entrance and my ride is outside

"Hello baba I'm sorry I.....I..eish I got transport...but I will pay for the ride "

"Okay sisi". The minute I pay Langa parks behind the driver I wave and get in the car

"Hi" His on a phone call

"Listen Busi please tell my brother to head straight to Mr Khan after that meeting I sent him details already. Okay . Yes thank you . That will be all. No . Sharp" he drops the call and he looks at me

"What no greeting nix all you gonna do is let look at me wow" drinks smoothie

"You know drinking that won't help cause I bet your u added all those junk stuff inside.....Yasin never mind why you dressed like that"

"Like what"

"Lutho wena gal ufuna lez....(nothing girl you want these do....)" I cut him off before he goes anywhere cause I know where his going going my brother's prefer me in dresses instead cause I'm too thick to wear pants,thight, leggings etc so dress will do and when I mean dress no body hugging shit.

"Relax my Tshirt is baggy want a jungle bar cause I know you hungry and please take a left into that garage I want gum"

"I got some"

"No I want my own I don't want minty breath phela uyabhema angithi ( because you smoke right)*

"Yep and please get me Dunhill mint if not Marlboro switch" I enter the garage get my things and realise I'm the only female and all these vultures are looking at me a take a look at Langa and he's already approaching oh how I love my brother his so quick.

"You okay got everything "

"Yep just paying need anything else"

"No let's go" we walk out and all eyes on me I get it really I'm one chubby girl big boobs an ass and curves I'm your Jill Scott but with an African ass I do not exercise to save my life cause it don't work maybe for the tummy but you know if you big your fupa will always be there but I'm okay with it cause I still rock my crop tops though I got silver strips I still inbrace that shit. We head off straight to Maboneg cause that's where the older brother is at and we jamming to Travis Scott and I'm enjoying my ride but all of a sudden I have a mini vision with my hands bloody and my heart beating so fast all I see is red everything and I'm shaking like a leaf

"Nana...Nana.....hey what's wrong you crying what's happening"

"I don't know....its like.... i...I fe..*phone rings * Baba"

*"Unjani uphi uLanga*(how are you where's Langa)"
*"Unami baba ngimuphe ucingo*(his here should I give him the phone)"
*"Ca sis tell him to call it's okay and mama says hi.....uhmmm I love you*"
"I love y.....*" Call dies oh okay weird I look at Langa and his far away.

"Bhuti.....bro....Langa"he jumps and looks at me "dad says call him it's important what up"

"Is this somehow connected to what happened to you in anyway cause I'm not ready for any bad news" . Eish the feeling comes back he keeps looking at me and on the road I'm so glad we arriving cause I don't wanna talk about it" Thingo I'm still waiting what's going on"

"It's not" I fake a smile and look at him I can see he ain't buying my story by the look his giving me" let's go Khali is waiting" I don't wait for his response I just head inside the restaurant and get to the table my brother's on a call I hug him and sip on his coffee while I look at him I check to see Langa and his smoking outside while looking at me with a serious face I turn and see that my older brother has a serious face as well.

*" Baba you know that's not possible the best we can do is probably all come home so we deal with this not with all that's happening. Yes I understans. Okay. Mbovu"* he left looks at me and sighs "how you doing Nana"

"I'm okay and how you doing you look tired "

"Ugh it's just work and dad nothing much that's all....and stop drinking my coffee....cause I kno..."

"Somahashi the second"

"Langa how you doing...where's your brother"

"Actually where is Bhut'Londi"

"All the way in the car you didn't ask" Zikhali

"She was a blabber mouth and she had on off her....." Langa

"So did you call baba" I say cutting him short and giving him a look he looks at me then at Zikhali and he is looking at us

"Yes I spoke to him we all need to go home this weekend" Zikhali says while he calls a waiter

"Why is mama okay and why the weekend"

"Cause we all have nine to five jobs plus mama has to visit Makhumalo that's why...plus you know maybe Bab'Zwane is coming who knows" Langa

"Ohhh....okay....Hi can do please have English breakfast with no eggs but add extra bacon please "

"I'd like the same just add extra sausages and a cup of coffee please" Zikhali

"English breakfast and extra everything and some beer with that" Langa

"Okay and ma'am would you like anything to drink"

"Ohhh yes a mi....mango juice please"

Our food arrived and we had that over some light conversation we all headed out too our own different directions and continued with our day but I had a shitty day because of that episode I had in the morning to couldn't even focus cause I don't what it means and calling mama about it she will tell dad and I will have to go home before the weekend and I'm not willing to do that so I will just wait for the weekend and see what happens my day went on so quick I just got home and I'm cooking when my phone rings it's Londi

*Bhuti how you doing I missed you this morning*

*I'm okay nana just had a business meeting I had to attend to in North West.....Soooo Langa tells me you had an episode this morning care to share*ughh why does he have to be a blubber mouth

*Nothing serious just one off the visions that are not clear*

*You lying I can hear it....know what I will check on you tomorrow for lunch so we talk okay..*

*Okay love you bye* I drop the call you Londi and I we close I tell him each and everything cause his not serious or uptight like the other two he gives solid advice and he listen to you and he always has a proper solution to sibling  problems . After cooking I had my dinner late bath read my book went through some work and I slept with a heavy heart honestly as to why that I gotta find out
