#51 -NARRATED!!!
After a lot of convincing from Lando , Kabelo finally agreed to hear MaMolefe out.
Kabelo : "So here I am , you said you wanted to talk so go on."
MaMolefe : "Now listen , I know I might be trying and all that but I definitely will not let you blame me nor disrespect me like that!" Kabelo looks down in shame.
MaMolefe : "Now listen , your father is a very manipulative bastard. I never left you nna Kabelo."
Kabelo : "Then what?! Cause I grew up being told that I am a trash baby , you left me in my father's trash and they found me and raised me cause they had no choice. Do you know how hard , painful and belittling it was to grow with those words being thrown at you anyhow and anywhen?! So please tell me what happened cause I'm really tired of being everybody's fool that ends up emotionally damaged!" He bellows.
MaMolefe : "Your father and I met...." She narrates the whole story to Kabelo while crying , while Kabelo keeps on clenching his jaws hard with anger.
MaMolefe : "That's what happened , I never abandoned you ; I wouldn't have ever done that. You guys might hate me but you will understand someday maybe if the truth gets to reveal itself but I know I'm not the bad guy here so if you and your twin sister wanna blame and curse me? It's fine but I'll keep my distance cause I sure don't wanna be exposed to that kind of treatment from the both of you when I've been through he'll and back for the both of you."
Kabelo : :Why are you talking like that?" He asks in a shaky voice.
MaMolefe : "na ha o a ka wa ntlhoka?" (Didn't you say you don't need me?) Kabelo just kneels and hugs his mother's waist and wails , burying his face on her stomach.
Kabelo : "kea o hloka mme. ho feta kamoo o tla tseba mme. Kea u kopa." (I need you mom. More than you'll ever know. I beg you.) He cries. They both stay in each other's arms crying.
MaMolefe : "You can speak sesotho or setswana?"
Kabelo : "a bit of both. I always wanted to learn it as a way to get to know my mother or feel kinda closer to you." He says smiling sadly making MaMolefe cry.
MaMolefe : "I love you my baby."
Kabelo : "I love you too mama." He was now sitting on the floor with his head resting on his mother's thighs.
MaMolefe : "which planet did you find your wife? ke moya o motle le o ikokobeditseng. ke mo rata bakeng sa hao. mo baballe ka linako tsohle ’me u mo bontše kamoo u mo ratang kateng. oa nkutloa?" (She's such a beautiful and humble soul. I love her for you. cherish her all the time and prove to her how much you love her. Do you hear me?)
Kabelo : "Yes , thank you mah."
