Life Is Just Not Kind - Final Book

Chapter 3

-YONELA NGESI

You ever wish you were 5 years old so that you could show your tongue to the person who treated you unfairly? Well that's how I felt after Mrs Cole paid for my shoes. After working a 23 hour shift I didn't have the time to glam myself up. I grabbed whatever was at reach and wore it. Also because I need to buy groceries before I go home. After leaving the boutique I make my way to the mall and get a few things and drive home. I completed my degree and got a job to work this side while I finish my studies. The pay is amazing, I have my own office while I further my studies at UCT so that I can open my own surgery. While I was at oxford I worked at this other hospital and the pay was good enough for me get a house when I got back home. I got my mother a 4 bedroom house in a better neighbourhood and my little brother has grown and is in university completing his degree at Wits so it's just mom and i.

"Yoza"

I'm startled by the bass I haven't heard in a while

"Yandisa what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?"

I ask hugging him, he's even taller than I am and this person is only 20 years old. He breaks the hug

"For someone that's been working a 23 hour shift you sure ask a lot. How have you been?"

He asks and I chuckle and shove him lightly

"You're annoying as usual. Where's mom?"

I ask walking to the lounge and he follows me

"She's probably still at work."

He answers

"No but for real Yandisa, what are you doing here?"

I ask him

"It's September holidays haibo Yoza"

He says and I chuckle at how stupid I must look to him right now

"wow. Already?"

He nods

"Yeah, what did you think. Work is really messing with your brain"

He says and I roll my eyes at him

"I'll cook ok?"

He says and I shake my head no

"Lets order in or go and eat out. We'll wait for mom and then we'll go. How's school?"

I ask

"School is school"

He says and I open my eyes and look at him

"What does that mean?"

I ask and he shrugs. My feet are on his lap and he's massaging me so nicely

"It means what I said. Still no boyfriend?"

He asks and I roll my head back and close my eyes

"I am not answering that"

I say and he laughs

"you live with mom, that's enough of an answer"

He says and we both laugh

"You are really beginning to annoy me you know that!"
