Scars and Nightmares

chapter 47

Terrence Ndlovu
Two years later...

Goitsimedi was really testing me today. During the week I'm always at work and don't get much time to spend with Langa, but I do my best to spend time with him during weekends. I tried her again with no luck.
I felt arms around my waist, I turned and it was my girlfriend, Boipelo. We met a year ago and I'm at peace.
"Babe, you can't keep on calling Goitsi like this, it's creepy and just not cool. She'll get back to you." Boipelo.
"Babe, she promised that she would return this week and I would get to see Langa. The least she could've done was let me know they won't make it."
"I understand but look at things from her side.. after she gave birth to Langa, she went through something and she didn't get time to bond with her son. She's trying to make up for lost time."
"With Nkanyezi!" I can't believe that Goitsimedi let me name our son Langa, while her boyfriend's name was Nkanyezi. Goitsimedi was very sneaky.
"Babe should I be worried? You're acting like you're still in love and I'm not here to nurse your broken heart."
"Babe no, listen I'm sorry if I made it seem like I'm still in love with Goitsimedi but.."
"No buts Terry, you need to know whether you want me in your life or the mother of your child."
"I want you.. give me a kiss baby." she started giggling while she dragged her feet to me. "I love you okay.."
"I love you too. Now where's that breakfast that you promised me?"
"I had something else in mind, how about we..." I nibbled on her ear then kissed her neck then her lips.
"Breakfast before breakfast..?"
"Yes.." I picked her up and placed her on the dining table while I kissed her. We removed each other's clothing without breaking the kiss. I left her lips and sucked on each of her nipples then down her tummy to the waistband of her underwear. Boipelo had her hand on my head; gently massaging it as I went down on her- I spread her pussy lips and gave her clit some loving.
"The door.. the door."
"What about the door?" I kissed her inner thighs.
"Someone is at the door." I lifted my head and heard the knocking.
"No timing yerr!" we quickly got dressed then I went to attend the door.
"Kayise yho, ufunani la?"
"Good morning to you too big bro.. hey Pelo." I have her a bored look.
"Kayise?"
"Ohh, I forgot my dress here. The one I need to wear for GM's 24th birthday. Will you be there?"
"I could have brought the dress. Her birthday is tomorrow. Did she tell you why my son is not here?" I noticed the discomfort on her face.
"Yoh I must have forgotten to tell you, I'm so sorry."
"What did you do Kayise?"
"Eish! Look it's not her fault, GM called me two days ago and told me that she tried calling you but your phone was not going through. She asked that I tell you that she would be returning on her birthday and she would bring Boikanyo on Monday. Sorry."
"Do you understand what you did..? This should explain why Goitsimedi has not been answering my calls. We got into a heated argument about Langa. Kayise yho!"
"Ngiyaxolisa.."
This was not good, I had to make things right with Goitsimedi. We have been doing well until recently.

Londeka Deka Gumede

"Babe switch it off!" Neilwe said while pulling the cover over her head. It's my weekend off but someone didn't get the memo. All I wanted to do today is watch movies with my girl and not do any detective work. Journalism had to wait today.
"Londeka tlhe, answer that phone I want to sleep."
"Babe it's 11h00 in the morning we should be getting up now."
"You can wake up but I'm sleeping in. It's not every day one gets a day off on a weekend."
My phone rang again, if one could punch someone through the phone I would. The look Neilwe was giving me as well was threatening.
Mr Kumar? What does he want now!
"Hello."
"Ms Gumede I've been calling you non stop, why have you not been answering my calls?"
"Incase you have not noticed, it's my day off today. I have no business answering any calls."
"I need you at the office in an hour, it's urgent."
"Did you not hear me, I said it's my day..." he didn't let me finish, he told me that I should come in and that's it then hung up.
"Unbelievable!" did he just hang up?
"Babe what now?"
"Mr grumpy just demanded that I come to the office because it's urgent."
"Just like that?"
"Yep, you will have to make your own breakfast." I kissed her on the cheek and left. I had a quick shower wondering why Mr Kumar would want me at the office. Some people really don't know peace. I wore casual clothes then used Neilwe's car and drove to work.
-
I didn't bother knocking on his door. I pushed it wide open and invited myself in. He didn't even look annoyed or ask me to get out and knock again. That was a first, whatever it is that made him call me must be really serious.
"I hope your reason for calling me in to work is valid. It's a Saturday."
"Ms Gumede sit down." what the hell was going on here..? He is calm and not shouting at me. That's a first. I hesitantly pulled the chair then sat down.
"I'm afraid it's not good news Ms Gumede. I got a tip off from the mental institution.."
"Uhm okay.." what business did I have with mental institutions though?
"A Rachel Ndlovu, well now she's Thobejane. Rachel Thobejane escaped from the institution and no one knows where she is."
This had to be a joke, a very bad joke. I looked at Mr Kumar expecting him to tell me that he was joking but he never did. How does one escape from that institution, the security is strong and the walls are very high.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Mr Kumar.
"How sure is this source of yours, can you trust them?"
"I trust this person."
This couldn't be good, what was Rachel up to? "Thank you for telling me but I, I have to go." we both stood up.
"I understand, take the day off on Monday."
