Siyamu's pov:
"What do you mean by that? we're not even together" I say and there's silence "Kyle,Kyle" I check the phone and he's already ended the call. Thando even paused the movie. I just put my phone on silent and unpause the movie. Thando pauses it again. I look at him,he looks at me.
"So you're seeing Kyle now?" He asks in a very calm voice. He's scaring the shit out of me now
"No,you wouldn't be here if I was! How could you say or think something like that" I slightly shout
"Why are you shouting?am I shouting at you?" He asks again still calm
"So you still think I'm a whore" I really feel hurt by this. There's a loud bang knock on the door. I stand up and wear my shoes
"Siyamu that's not what I meant" he tries to explain
"Save it" I say and walk away. I open the door and I'm met with a slap then I'm on the floor about to get punched when in a blink of an eye Thando reaches for Kyle by the hair and pulls him away from me. He punches him multiple times while asking him "have you fucken forgotten who I am?" He gets up and kick him in the nuts. He takes out a gun from his jacket. No,what?
"Thando,no" I cry and he looks at me. Kyle is unrecognisable and covered with blood. Thando lowers his gun and he looks like he's in so much thought and everything happened so fast. Kyle quickly takes the gun from Thando and says
"You're fucking my girl,she's supposed to be mine" and after that he shoots Thando in the shoulder twice. I think the gun has a silencer because it didn't make any noise. By this time I'm in my room calling Ntokozo
"His queen" he answers
"Ntokozo help,Thando has just been shot at my place " I say sniffing
"I'm on my way now,just put pressure on the wound so he doesn't lose a lot of blood and don't take him to the hospital and don't call anyone else" he says sternly
"Okay" I say and end the call because I'm just shocked. I don't even ask why. I come out of the bedroom and rush to Thando and he's still standing. I make him sit down and I see Kyle pointing a gun at me.
"Please just let me do this before you kill me" I say and I tie Thando's arm with a kitchen cloth to lessen the bleeding
"You know I loved you but you never showed interest in me,why? because you love this idiot. Well well well,do you know what he does?mmh I bet you didn't know. Should I tell you?" Ugly Kyle says. He just got ugly because of what he's doing. He is waiting for my answer but I'm looking at him with a straight face
"Kyle you son of a bitch,don't think you'll get away with this. I know your dad sent you here to get me so leave my woman out of this and take me. I'm not scared of you,you're just a wanna be in this business. Your father is the real one" Thando says and rushes to grab the gun away from him but he gets shot in the leg. What is this all about?Thando gets ahold of the gun and shoots Kyle's ear and he shoots his penis. What the fuck am I seeing?is Ndo a gangster?
Ntokozo gets in followed by guys wearing casual clothes and one is carrying a doctor's brief case. I just run to my room and lock the door. Who is he?what does he do? I shower with my clothes on because I'm full of blood. I keep thinking about all the blood that I saw and just cry. Wait,is my baby okay?but what if Kyle's dead? My cheek is so swollen,Kyle hit me so hard it still hurts. I wear my grey track pants with a black hoodie. It's cold,I wear my sleepers again and head out of my room. Mentally preparing for what I'm about to see. I step in and there's no more blood, there's no sign of Kyle and my apartment is like how it was before. The guys that walked in are all sitting on the couch with Ntokozo and who I assume is the doctor is busy sewing Thando up. Now that everything has registered,these men are big and bold. Most have scars on their faces and big biceps. They look like gangsters,woah?what the fuck? Our eyes lock and he looks like he's hiding the pain he's feeling
"Sanibonani" I say in a voice I also don't understand. I think I was feeling scared
"Makoti" one of them says and there's not many of them. It's just 4 men including the doctor. I smile a little because they think me and Thando are together. Ntokozo stands up to hug me and I hug him back
"That's too long man" Thando says and everyone laughs. It's only been 3 seconds. I sit down and Thando looks at me "somebody please get her some ice"
"I can do it myself" I say standing up
"No sit down" he commands and I just carry on walking to the kitchen. I get to the kitchen and get an ice pack and wrap it with a kitchen cloth and put it on my swollen cheek. Thando gets in trying not to limp as hard. He tries to hug me but I just push him away.
"After all that I've seen and you're acting like nothing ever happened?you're so unbelievable" I say because I'm actually traumatized
"I was going to tell you"
"Tell me what?"
"Baby I,I,uhm" he starts stuttering and he looks to the side and keeps rubbing the back of his neck
"Thando talk,I don't have all day"
"I sell illegal guns and make sure they get in and out of the country safely. I'm not a gangster though" he says as quickly as he can and I pop my eyes out. "Don't worry about how safe you've been,I always had someone looking over you even before we dated. Ntokozo was on his way even before you called him because Pete,you're bodyguard called him as soon as Kyle parked his car outside. Kyle is Dante's son and Dante has been trying to take over our business. He was going to use you to get to me but I think Kyle failed because he somehow fell for you in the process"
"Is he dead?" is the first thing I ask
"Yes,it was for the best" he says with a look that shows no regret
"And you don't regret it?"
"What was I supposed to do?let you die ? because he was going to kill you. Do you want to be the one dead instead of him?" He looks really angry but I just can't help it. Somebody is dead because of me. I start crying. I've always asked myself who this man is and now I've got the answer,I can't deal with it anymore. Why is he like this?is the question I ask myself now...
