#Mbali's P. O. V
As I opened the door I saw a cute girl standing in front of me. She was a bit shorter than me. She had long dreadlocks tied in a messy bun, brown beautiful Chinese eyes with pouted lips. She wore sweat pants and a vest on with a red, checked shirt tied savagely around her waist revealing her figure. I snapped out of my thoughts when I realised that she also had bags with her and that only meant one thing...that she was my roommate.!
"hi" I saidcalmly.
"hey. You're Mbalenhle Khumalo, right?" she said with a warm smile. And before I could reply... "I'm Obakeng Mokwena, your new roommate"
"oh, nice to meet you Baki" as I smiled back and moved out of the doorway, making room for her to enter.
"great, I already have a pet name"
"hahaha...it suits you just fine"
She then unpacked her stuff too and got comfortable while she was going on about herself, telling me about herself and her family. I'm more of a listener than I am a talker so you could imagine how quiet I must have been the whole time, though I tried to make a few remarks here and there.
"we should go out some time hey" I finally said something more than 'wow and okay'.
"maybe tomorrow after class" she said as she folded a t-shirt.
We were then called to the hall and had a tour around campus. I was with Baki the whole time and I think I like her - she's fun to be around, that's why. There's just never a dull moment with her. It's like we hadn't met a few minutes ago. She made me feel comfortable. We then went back to our room.
"what are we going to eat, bruh?" I said as I unlocked the door.
"we'll get some pizza"
"that's a great idea" as I pretended to have a light bulb on top of my head. And we both laughed.
"lets get ready then" she said.
We got ready. In fact, we both changed (^-^). I wore my black torn jeans and a grey REDBAT t-shirt, black sneakers and I tied my faux locks into a messy bun.
#Obakeng's P. O. V
I am Mbali's roommate and my name is Obakeng. I am turning 19 soon and I'm extroverted with a tiny sprinkle of craziness and a glass of adventurous. I love trying out new things and partying is my middle name.
Mbali is a great person. She is humbled and beautiful in and out. She has a great personality and I can say that we're gonna have good times together.
It's 3.25pm and we're about to leave for lunch and we're both changing. I'm wearing black leggings and a long white t-shirt with a converse and tied my dreadlocks into a neat bun. I applied lip gloss.I then decided to make a knot on the side of my t-shirt to make it cute.
"please pass me my phone there in the charger, I'm requesting an Uber"
"here you go" as she handed it to me.
"thanks"
The Uber came and we went to Panarotti's, ate pizza and went for eye shopping then came back.
Two weeks passed and we just grew closer to each other. We understood each other better and were comfortable with each other. Even school was great.
#Thuli's P. O. V
Zolani and I are growing apart everyday. It's like I don't know this new person that he has become. He comes home late with lame excuses, sometimes he just acts like everything is normal. He's just not ths Zolani I married 13 years ago when I was 25 years old and we were so much in love. Mbalenhle was only 5 years old and her two front teeth were out while Buhle was starting to walk... My small... Happy family. But now Zolani does not have time for me anymore. As I sit in my office...wandering about in my own thoughts. I decided to dial his number, and he answered.
"hello" he said sternly.
"hi babe, what time are you coming back today? I said in a sweet voice trying to charm him.
" a bit late, hey"
"and....tomorr-"
"same time" he cuts me off.
"when are you going to be free then?" that came out more of a complain than a question.
"I'm fully booked with back to back meetings for the next three weeks"
"wow"thats the only thing I manage to say. I can't believe this man.
" I really don't get why that's a problem... You know how busy I am"he said.
"I'm your wife and you don't see a problem with not having time for me lately? You're this changed man nowadays and I don't even know what's changed between us..." I said and the other side of the line was quiet. I then decided to go on. "I don't even get a goodbye kiss, Zolani. We sleep with our backs facing each other and my pillow wet because you don't see anything wrong with not spending time with me". My voice got softer and it was breaking because I was getting emotional and tears were now rolling down my eyes.
"I'm so sorry, love. It's just... I've been under alot of pressure at work since the promotion and I'm trying to adapt and I don't want to slip up you know. I'm sorry for not giving you the attention you deserve. I love you"he said in a calm tone that eased my heart.
"I-love-you-too" I said as my words struggled to come out of my mouth due to the hysterical crying I underwent. He hung up.
I stood up and thank God I had a restroom in my office, so I went to get my face washed and looked at myself in the mirror. Thoughts came to my mind "what if he's cheating...and this girl has a hold on her". In that case I won't let her. I called my close friend, Ntombi. She knew what was going on.
"hi friend, unjani?" *(how are you) she answered.
"I'm good, friend. I think I might need that PI you told me about"
"oh okay, I'll send you his number on Whatsapp. Okay.?" she says in a sympathetic tone.
"thanks friend. I appreciate it"
"sure. Anything for you, my love."
We said our goodbyes and I hung up.
#Zolani's P.O.V
My wife is getting suspicious of me cheating. Even though she's not saying anything, I can feel it. I got to get those suspicions out of her head before she finds out anything. I have this thing going on with my PA, Thobile. Damn! I'm 44, but she makes me feel like I'm 21 again. She then walks into my office and I immediately snap out of my thoughts, and act like I was busy with my laptop.
"hi babe, I was thinking...since it's Friday. Why not go to Cape Town for the weekend, just the two of us?" she said in a seductive way.
"you know I have a wife and kids, right? (she nods) I can't be going the whole weekend without my wife noticing and getting suspicions...that would jeopardize our relationship and I don't want her finding out, she is already getting suspicious. I love her so much and I don't wanna lose her."I said calmly. And she rushed out of my office, angry and heartbroken.
