KWAME.
#NotEdited
I hate leaving her like this when I know there’s a whole lot we should talk about but I left her a note on the pillow that she will find when she wakes up explaining that I had to go somewhere. I hope she won’t be mad at me that she had to wake up again without me being next to her. I know I could have waited but some part of me is scared for what she’s going to say cause I don’t want things to be over between us not when I have just met her and I love with her.
It’s Msizi, Collen and me hearding to Secunda. I hope that woman has answers for us cause Msizi said she has been working there for years. I will not come back until I find something concrete that will lead me to finding Jabu's family. Is Jabu even her real name or they just gave her that name. She once told me she hates it cause she doesn’t feel like it represents her and her life. I understand why cause she’s never been truly happy. If it is her name then she will be happy once she’s reunited with her family.
I look at the time and it’s 9 am. She might be awake right now. I take out my phone and her face is the first thing I see in my screen saver. She’s sleeping and looking so beautiful. I took it the first time I slept next to her then I took many other photos of her when she was sleeping or not looking at me. I smile to myself. I love her. My phone vibrates on my hand and it’s her. She’s video calling me. Suddenly I feel nervous. What if she dumps me on the phone in front of my friends? Damn. I slide the screen and her face is what I see. She’s still in bed.
“ Hello beautiful ” I can’t tell if she’s smiling or not cause the comforter is hiding her face.
“ Kwame… . Where are you? ” she sounds sad.
“ I’m working out of town love. What’s wrong? ”
“ I woke up without you in bed and I was worried until I saw your note ”
“ You sound still worried ” she might be worried that she’s going to break my heart.
“ I’m worried about you ”
“ Don’t be love. I’m fine ” I’m anything but fine.
“ When are you going to be back? ”
“ Late afternoon I think. Why? ”
“ I want us to talk ” Damn
“ I know love. We’ll talk when I get back ok? ”
“ Ok. I’ll cook dinner. What would you like to have? ” I doubt I’ll be able to open my mouth and eat.
“ Anything love.” She shows me her face smiling.
“ Why do you look so sad? ” she asks moving the phone closer to her face.
“ I’m… . I’m sorry baby. I really am sorry ”
“ Kwame…. ”
“ I love you Jabu. I really do and I’m sorry for hurting you. It wasn’t my intention. Please forgive me. Just give me another chance and I promise I won’t screw up ”
“ Kwame… ”
“ please just think about it. I love you. I really do ” I hang up before she even answers. I cover my face with my hands and fight the stupid tears that threaten to come out. “ Stop the car ”
Msizi stops the car in the side of the road and I get out. I walk a few metres away from the car and breath. I bend down then Msizi gives me a bottle of water. I drink all of it in one go.
“ Man come down. I don’t think it’s as bad as you think. If she was mad at you she wouldn’t he called you worried about you ”
“ You don’t know man. You don’t know how bad she cried in my arms last night. I shouldn’t have forced her ”
