The Arrangement

What. The. Fuck!

Crystal

I walked towards a car and i let it out. I couldn't stop crying there on someone's car. Haai bazaxola wethu. A few minutes later I felt arms wrapping around my waist. I wanted to push who ever they were off but i didn't have the energy to do so, and these are obviously not Siyabonga's arms, the scent says it all and I don't feel butterflies in my tummy.

"Please forgive us wakhe"

Its...Siyaxola?

I turned and cried on his chest.

Oh the emotions.

After a while of me sobbing and him brushing my back soothingly, I got my tears under control.

"W-why should I huh...I was just a ticket. No scratch that I am a ticket. Was it even real hmm?"

He knew exactly what I was talking about

"It was nuggets, I promise you it was, when you left he fell apart, wouldn't talk, wouldn't eat and he put all his focus on finding you. He'd had nightmares and would wake up screaming your name but he wouldn't talk about what they were about. He lo-"

I cut him off

"Don't please don't." I couldn't help laughing sarcastically. "Of course he wouldn't say,  uligwala andithi (he's a coward) he never owns up to his mistakes."

He gently pulled me away from him and said "i know your mad nuggets but trust me when I say He's changed and he regrets it dearly."

We stood like that, in silence for a while, I didn't know what and who to believe.

We heard people coming and i quickly wiped my tears and he let go of me

"Xola umtholile (did you find her)?" A voice shouted

"Yebo ma. Nginaye manje (yes ma. I'm with her now). Please give him a chance nuggets. You won't regret it." He looked at me before he walked away.

I contiunued to ponder over Siyaxola's words.

What would Ava do...at this point I think that's what I'll ask myself now. *laughs* ahh!

I'm startled by the beeping of the car I was standing at. I moved away and turned only to see Sabelo heading towards me...or the car ? I don't know.

"Sisi uBhuti uthe ngikuyise kwakhe (sis my brother said to take you to his house)"

Oh

"Uuphi kanti yena (where is he)?"

Even though I was not ready to actually face him...I still can't believe I'm just a ticket for my parents wealth, I'd never do such to my kids... I still asked because I thought we were supposed to go to 'our house' together

"Erh...he's...he's uhm...busy?"

He said it but sounded like he was asking

"Busy with what Sabelo" I asked him with my hands on my hips

"Yhoo sis I ...I don't know" he scratched his neck, the same way he used to, along with his brothers and father when they lie.

"Mmmmm okay" I said not convinced one bit. I was tired already from the events of today and my face was swelling due to the crying. I just wanted to slew.

We entered the car and drove off.

We were about to pass south gate mall and I ask him to pass by Romans pizza as my stomach simultaneously grumbled.

"Okay sis please get one spicy chicken with bbq sauce and garlic bread too."

"Okay sure." I grabbed my wallet but he stopped me "Intoni?"

"Icard lika bhuti. (Big brother's card)"

I looked at his hand quizzically and I looked back up at him.

"Uthe uyithathe ubhuti (he said to take it)"

"Andiyazi ipin yakhe njena (I don't know his pin)"

"Its 1147"

" *scoff* okay"

I exited the car. Why would he set that as his pin. I walked towards Romans and i pulled the door open. I walked up to the front.

"Good evenin, how may I help"

"Hi, can I please get two large pizzas, spicy chicken and bbq and ham with onion rings, garlic bread and 2 cans of coke and a one litre Stoney."

"Okay. Uhm would you like pan or traditional?"

"Pan please"

"Okay. please wait your order will be ready in 45 minutes or an hour."

"Okay thank you."

I then paid and took my slip. I walked out and went to kfc to buy 1 oreo crusher and 1 kit kat crusher. It took about 5 minutes or less and I'm out the door.

I walked back to the car and knocked on the window, he slides it down and before I can even say anything he raised his finger.

"Bhutino really, couldn't this wait till tomorrow or something?"

.....

"*sigh* Fine. I'll tell her"

Tell me ? Haai. I've been standing here for almost 4 minutes. He finally unlocked the doors and he opened the door for me, i enter now sitting in front.

"Here" I said handing him the kit kat crusher

"Thank you" He took it from me

"So...was that one of your brothers ? You sound frustrated and that's coming from me" I said with a chuckle

"Yeah it was. Your husband says he can't come home tonight he'll be back probably by tomorrow evening"

Athi your husband rhaa!

I didn't know if I should have be happy or sad because he wouldn't be back.

"Tomorrow evening ? Normal people say tomorrow morning. Then again this is your brother we are talking about."

"Sisi I think it was really imp-"

I cut him off

"More important than this. He's the one who wanted to marry me- *sigh* you know what it's not even him or maybe it is I don't care. I think our order is ready" i opened the door.

"Sisi i-"

I closed the door even before he finished talking. I walk back to Romans and decide to wait there for the order. 30 minutes later I have the two boxes with the garlic bread and cans + litre on top and walk out the doors towards the car.

He opened the door for me and I settled in and were off to my new house 😒. We drove in silence till we reached the most expensive estate I've ever seen. As usual it's all mansions lookin all fancy.

Sabelo opened his window and chats with the security guard and the gates open then. We drove in and for about 15 minutes, we were still driving then we stop in front a house that's similar to all the other houses and I see...a car in the  drive way ?

I thought he wasn't home? Heeke or maybe he just got back ? We drive up the drive way and we exit the car, I was carrying the pizza boxes and he was carrying my bags then we walked up to the door and as he reached out to open the door...

It was opened by a girl!
What the fuck!!?
