Lerumo
He really looked like his father when he opened the door for us.
Hlelo: Hi, welcome.
He shifted to the side and we walked in while he and Lifuno made small talk.
Hlelo
They had the table set and she was so nervous as we walked in and her mom offered to help them as we sat down while I poured the wine.
Lerumo: you have a lovely home.
Me: Thank you
They walked in with the last bits of food and she greeted her father coldly.
Nyakallo: Father
Lerumo: Nyakallo!
Nyakallo: How was the trip?
Lifuno: Long but worth it.
Lerumo: I see you have settled well. he pointed to a picture on the wall that iv never seen in my house ever. It was of a woman that was strikingly beautiful holding a baby on her lap and a little boy holding her skirts.
Nyakallo: I take it everywhere with me.
Lerumo: Iv noticed.
We helped dish out and eat and make small talk with my mother and Lifuno hitting it off.
Lerumo: Are you going home with us?
That shocked me and by the look of everything it shocked everyone else.
Nyakallo: Baba?
Lerumo: Am asking if you will be leaving with us back to Lesotho since nothing is keeping you here anymore?
Me: Am sorry am confused?
He took out a piece of paper and slid it to us and I took it and looked at it where he highlighted it.
" if all transactions or accounts have been stopped by the Zulu family than the agreement becomes null and void"
I laughed and looked at the old man in disbelief.
Me: let me get this straight. You not here to find out if your daughter is well and the life she created after that awful ordeal that almost killed her? But you are here to fetch her since iv stopped all transactions towards you?
Lerumo: Yes
Me:so what she went through the past 7 weeks is okay? As long as you get your money.
Lerumo: Pretty much
The shock had the woman speechless.
Me: you got to be kidding me
Lerumo: unless the Zulu pay the agreed amount am taking my daughter with me.
Me: my wife is not going anywhere with you. I went to the drawer pulled up the file that had our marriage certificate the legitimate one with my names and hers and gave him a copy.
Me: she is a Zungu now. I have no idea what you and dad had signed and his dead right now so that died with him. You than committed fraud with my brother which I'll gladly open a case if you insist on your madness and his dead and his the Zulu that promised you those millions to cover up his fraud and lastly she is my wife and she is not going anywhere with you and sadly I don't own you anything am a Zungu and I have no obligation to you or your business.
He looked at me and looked at Nyakallo.
Lerumo: You married him?
She kept quiet.
Lerumo: You gladly jumped from one man to the next in less than 3 months?
Me: Now this is were I jump in. No one disrespects my wife in her own home and in front of me. Ncah phuma baba ngoba uyabedha manje( leave cause you crossing the line)
Lerumo: You going to let him talk to me like that.
Nyakallo: I really don't know what did I ever do to you to hate me to this extent. For years iv done everything that you have asked. Obliged the crazy demands that you have had and now this????
I watched tears roll down from her eyes.
Nyakallo: tell me what have I ever done for you to hate me like this? To treat me the way you do and to treat me like some property that you own.
Lerumo got up and looked at Lifuno and she sat down pretending like she can't see him.
Lerumo: you coming?
Lifuno: i really tried everything that i could have done to show you that family means everything but you too blind to see it. No ntate Lerumo Mamothame am not coming with you and my lawyers will be in touch.
He looked at her than Nyakallo and drank the whole glass and left. There was silence in the room than Lifuno spoke.
Lifuno: Am so sorry Nyakallo, i tried but his just....
Nyakallo: Thank you for always being there for me and giving me the love that my own father couldn't give me. For always putting us first. We free to stay for as long as you need and the house back home cause I know he will make your life a living hell.
Bonga
The door opened and there she stood Lucia.
Me: How can I help?
She gave me a peace of paper with the address.
Lucia: That where she is.
Me: Thank.
She turned and looked at me with a huge grin.
Lucia: Tell him that we not over yet!!
She left and I sent him the address.
Lucia
I walked out than walked to the corner where I saw the guy standing there with a flyer.
Me: Is he good?
Guy: what do you want him to do?
Me: Bring back a lost lover.
Guy: How much do you have? And how far are you willing to go?
Me: I want the guy as in now.
Guy: Follow me...
