I was on a surgery that lasted for 4 hours, it was a Heart valve repair but despite the complications I'm glad it's a success. I can head home and rest up, I know for a fact Thiko will be obsessing over Denzhe. Not that I'm complaining but he usually is very possessive of her and I think Wanga knows this hence why she doesn't fight him when he takes her for a long time. I'll just buy some takeouts because I know he'll be starving himself. My phone rings...it's Candice. I wonder why she's calling since she doesn't like me that much. "Candice" I answer "Venus, Thiko left Denzhe here since morning and he's not answering his calls." She says "Oh, I'm sorry about that. I'll pick her up right away." I say "I'm okay with babysitting Denzhe, she's family. I'm only worried about Thiko." She says coldly "I'll call him" I say then hang up I don't know why she doesn't like me but I don't have a problem with it either. Thiko doesn't talk about anything related to Wanga, that's why I'm here right now. I feel tolerated by everyone including his family, I get it though, I'm the other woman. I dial his numbers but it goes straight to voice mail. I'll call him after picking up Denzhe.
Grant is outside on a call, he gives me a warm smile as I wave at him getting inside. He's so different from Candice, I wonder what he sees in her because she's just not friendly. She stares at me as I make my way to her sitting on the couch, Denzhe is beside her watching Disney junior. "Hello" I greet "Hi, did you get him?" She asks I shake my head. "He's not answering his phone" She stares at me then look at Denzhe. "I'm worried he could be doing something stupid, like drugs..." I cut her off "Why drugs?" She gives me a brief stare. "Wanga is engaged, Luke posted it on Instagram and Facebook." She reply Okay, I'm not surprised. But why would that have anything to do with Thiko. He made it clear to me that he wants nothing to do with Wanga, we got married and we are happy. "He's not going to do that..." I say "Oh yeah, what makes you so sure?" She asks facing me "He made a promise to me..." I say "He also made a promise to be with Wanga until death, he left her for you..." she says "I don't know why you have a problem with me but it's so last year and you need to grow up. What happens between me and Thiko is none of your business and I dont appreciate you making it one." I say angrily "Nothing is about you Vee, I don't know why you are confusing yourself..." she tries getting up, her belly looks like it's going to pop anytime. "What's that supposed to mean?" I ask "That Thiko is a liar." She's standing now "Hello Vee, how are you doing?" Grant lightning the room. "I'm good thanks and how are you?" I ask "I'm good. Did you get Thiko?" He asks I'm annoyed, what's with the fuss? Thiko is a grown ass man and he knows how to answer his phone if he wants to. "No, but I'm sure he's fine. I'll see you guys sometime." I say walking to Denzhe and picking her up. She smiles at me as always, I walk with her to the door. "I'll bring her bag pack." Grant says I walk outside. I put Denzhe at the back, on her car seat then walk to the driver's side. "Here you go" Grant smiling I smile then take the bag and get inside. "Take care" he waves goodbye I'm glad he didn't say anything more about Thiko, I was going to lose my mind.
Denzhe is walking around the house playing by herself, I think she's looking for Thiko since she's so used to him now. I'll make something for her to eat and clean up. That reminds me, I need to call Thiko so that he does not go to Grant's house. He's phone is now on voice-mail, I'm sure he'll be here in few. Ever since I've met Thiko my life changed, it's been sunshine everyday. He knows how to make me smile and support me when I'm not confident. Honestly, I believe he's my soul mate. He did confess to me about once using drugs and how it affected his life with Wanga. He still blames himself for losing Nkhumbuleni, I know that's why he's so overprotective of Denzhe. She's so spoiled, it's like he never wants to be absent from her life even though he has a busy life he tries to find balance. I'm so proud of him for rewriting his wrongs and making up for his mistakes. He's so brave. My conversations with Denzhe are quite funny, she'll be speaking gibberish and I'll be answering as if I know what she is saying. We'll be laughing like we're beasties, it's so hilarious. I just put her to bed, she's tired of playing. My phone rings, it's Thiko. I was starting to be worried. It's late. "Babe, are you okay?" I ask "Vee, I'm so sorry..." he says I'm confused. "Why my love? Where are you?" I ask He's quiet. "I'm not coming home, I just want you to know that I love you so much and I wish things were different for me, maybe I wouldn't be this messed up..." he answers "Come back home, we'll talk about it when you're here..." I cut him off "Forgive me..." he hang up What just happened? Thiko sounds like he's about to do something stupid, Jesus. Who do I call? I can't call Wanga, she'll panic. I'll call Luke, he might have some sort of effect on him. Shit, no. He's not his favorite person at the moment, actually since he's with Wanga. "Khumo.." I say as he answers "Vee, is everything okay?" He asks calmly. "Thiko just called me, he was apologizing saying hes not coming back home. I'm so worried..." I am pacing "Calm down, let me try and call him..." he answers "He switched off his phone, what if he's going to do drugs again?" I ask That question was more to myself than Khumo, the thought of it makes my stomach turns. He can't break his promise to me, this soon. "Vee, let me get back to you now..." Khumo hangs up Really? Him too. I don't know what to do, I can't wait for him either. I'll call Grant. "Vee..." he answers "Grant, Thiko says he's not coming back home, what does that mean?" I ask "What?" He exclaims "Yes, he just called apologizing to me. Saying he wish things were different for him..." I explain "I'll call you in a minute" he hang up on me too. I'm so agitated I can feel my heart contracting. Oh Thiko, what are planning on doing? My phone rings almost giving me a heart attack. It's my alarm to sleep, I switch it off. I'm trying to calm myself looking at the TV holding on to my phone. It's been plus 45 minutes since Grant said he'll call me in a minute. There's a knock on my door, I jump off the couch and run to the door, it's not Thiko but his father. He's not rude or cold but down, I know for a fact something is wrong. "Thiko is no more..." he says after a while "Where is he?" I ask "He's gone..." his face falls What? "What?" He doesn't look up nor say anything but for once I see his tears falling down. "WHAT?" I don't know if I'm slow or just falling to process this. "He's dead..." he says after a minute "Nooo...he can't die, he can't leave me...nooo" I cry I never prepared for this day, do we even prepare for such things? I never pictured my life without him, ever since I met him. I thought he'd be here forever... "Vee, get up. I prepared a jet for us to fly to Cape Town..." he helps me get up Did he just say Cape Town? "When did he get to Cape Town?" I stop and look at him He's quiet looking down. "What was he doing in Cape Town?" I ask again He looks at me sadly "Wanga is there..." he stops "I'm lost..." I say "Thiko took my jet to Cape Town this morning, he went to a friend of mine for a gun. Then shot Luke and Wanga at Luke's beach house. Then after, took his own life." He explains Cut, cut, cut....is this really happening? Is this really happening? Then why can't I comprehend it all, or maybe I'm in denial...Thiko killed Wanga and Luke, then killed himself. That's how he chose to end his life? "Denzhe is in her room" I walk to the kitchen to drink water He's been here before so he knows his way around the house, I just need to digest what I just learned right now. Thiko promised me he'd never leave me, he'll be mine forever. He vowed these words to me. What happened? What changed? What made him do this? I have so many unanswered questions, I feel like I'm losing my mind. Was I lying to myself all this time believing that Thiko loves me? That he'd die for me...so why did he die for her?

I took sleeping pills and I just got up now after we landed. I can't bring myself to hold Denzhe, if feel like her too is a lie. My whole four years with Thiko was a lie. In the end he choose her over me. I need to be numb, I can't feel all these feelings and be sane after.

"Vee..." it's Candice It took me 3 days to regain my sanity, if I have to be frank I died. Just on the inside. I can't believe I was naive and stupid all these years, loving someone who never loved me back. I wonder how I missed it, why didn't I see it or feel it. I fooled myself, now I can't live with myself. "I'm sorry..." she tries holding back her tears but fail. "Don't be, you were right after all." I say "Don't say that..." she says "He never stopped loving her, he never got over her. I was just diluting myself believing he's mine. I was lying to myself..." I say "I guess we'll never know now..." she says sadly "We do, or at least I do. Because in the end he ended up with her not me." I clench my teeth I hate Thiko, I hate my life with him. "So you were right Candice, Thiko is a liar and cheat. He didn't deserve neither me or Wanga, nor does he deserve my tears..." "Thiko was made for Wanga, he didn't deserve her that much I know. Stop victimizing yourself Vee, you knew Thiko was with Wanga but that didn't stop you from being with him. I'm not saying you shouldn't feel the way you do but the tragedy is that Thiko killed his love and best friend." She explains "Thank you Candice, I owe you that much." I look at her She looks confused. "You're honest and genuine." I add "It's a curse than a blessing, I hated Luke because he did something I'd never do. He was brave, I envied him. As for Wanga..." She's now in tears "She was too good for this world, for me too. I wish I got to tell her that in person but I wasted time mad at her for choosing happiness for once. She was the most selfless person I've ever met, she'd cry for other people and that's a virtue. Something I lack. That's a tragedy, losing her, Thiko and Luke." She walks away. I'm left alone, I feel overwhelmed by emotions, Like I want to explode. The thing about pain is that, it demands to be felt. You can either implode or explode.
