Taki and I spent the night together, however that didn't change her mind about leaving. They left the day before with Mpho, because he was going back home and it was for free. I didn't get to talk to Taki, I don't know what she thinks of me right now, I hope she will keep her promise to me.
It's the day of the wedding and I can say I'm glad it's finally here because the house has been packed with Masindi's friends and Thabang's family. I put on my suit then walk to the living room where everyone is. Thabang is standing with Masindi's father. He is good man, too overprotective of his daughter but means well.
To my surprise Vusi, Taki and Mpho are here. Taki looks beautiful, I mean she's beautiful but she looks gorgeous. I walk to them and greet them.
"Hi Ndavhe" Mpho is the last to respond
We're asked to walk to the back, everyone walks outside."This is beautiful" Taki says
We sit down few rows from the front. I look for Phindulo because she told me she would be here. I don't think she'll make it. I don't want to think about what I'll say to her when I see her, because I messed up pretty bad.
The crowd stands as Masindi walks down the aisle with her father. She is beautiful and Thabang is just mesmerized by her beautiful. She smiles at Thabang who is still in a trance.
Just as I thought they wrote their vows, they share their vows and just like that they're now husband and wife. It's even signed on paper.
At the reception. Oluga runs to me and hand me a piece of paper. What's this?
"Who gave you this boy?" I ask
"Taki" he answers
Ooh yes, she left with Mpho. Vusi however said he'll leave tomorrow. I unfold the paper and read...
"What's that?" Vusi asks standing next to me
"It's nothing" I lie
I'm tense and thirsty, but most importantly angry.
"Khuliso told Khathu about us" Vusi says pissed off
"I need a drink" I say pouring whiskey on my glass
"I need to die" Vusi taking the whole bottle
"I'm trying to convince myself that it just popped out by mistake and she didn't mean to destroy her sister, because if not I just created a monster." He continues
"I know this will sound typical of me but it was going to come out sooner or later." I take the glass from him
"I know, I do feel relieved that it's out because now Khuliso won't be trying to get in my head." He says
"So she was blackmailing you?" I ask
"Something like that" he answers
"I slept with Taki" I confess
Vusi looks surprised to say the least.
"What?" He asks looking at me
"I promised her, we'd be together through life..." I say
"She's gone..." he answers
I exhale.
"With Mpho, I know. It's amazing how she'd promise me something like that then choose him." I feel like shit
"She didn't pick..." Vusi answers sadly
"I'm here alone, aren't I?" I ask him
"You have Phindulo" Vusi
"Do you see her here?" I ask then walk inside the house
