in her shoes

chapter 21

It's been a couple of months of breeze and peace well my love life has been wonderful and now I can balance the two roles being a girlfriend and being a boss.now me and my two man are at peace,I  did talk to my mom about not being able to spend more night at home anymore and I was honest with her so she knows there is a man involved,but my dad and brothers don't know any thing and I'm going to keep it that way.im on my way to meet my friend Aya it's been a while since we have seen each and we need to catch up and I get to share  the news about my man because that man is everything he is the complete package so we are meeting at Starbucks at mall of Africa in Midrand.

She tells me she is already here so I park the car going in,I find her she has already ordered coffee for us I greet her with a hug and her eyes are teary she is still a cry baby .

Aya:I was starting to to think you don't love me anymore.

Me:you know that can never happen so how have been. 

Aya:I don't even know where to start I'm single that's a first and I'm in a happy place since my mom has been gone so that's about it.

Oh I almost forgot she broke up with her man last month and I was on a mission in Nigeria and she just sent me a text saying the is no wedding  anymore and she was okay and I didn't need to worry and because I was away on business I didn't have time to dwell on this and just I came so this the first time seeing her since I came back.

Me:are you really fine though friend? And her eyes get tearing again but she looks up trying not cry .

Aya:yes babes I'm okay it was just family disputed so we decided that it's best we part way, you know it's not nice being an orphan because people take advantage of you so I refused to be put under abuse. because my mom wanted me to be happy and I was not happy there. marriage it's a union I will have to deal with the abuse of the family all my life so no I refuse. She says and I can see she has dealt with it."and Wena what are you busy with it feels like you don't stay in this country because you are always away on business because I do come to your place and mom will be alone with bra Mo"and yes she calls my dad bra Mo because he is too cool to be called baba,while as my boyfriend want me to call him baba because he is indoda yom'zulu(he is a Zulu man)so I gave in and call him baba when I want to soften him up and that feed ghost's ego so much.so some times I call him baba so he comes out just mess with him.

Me:well a lot I'm busy also I'm growing with my businesses I have new students"assassins" to train and I'm also thinking of open a hospital for babies but that still in the pipe dream .

Aya:well I know you have big dreams friend and you are going to the youngest billionair in Africa I really love you work ethic.

Me: thank you friend I just love what I do and it's not about the money even though the money is a bonus and I'm building generational wealth I work this hard so that the next generation of Motaung's don't have to struggle for a job that the dream.

She nods in support.

Aya:and that means you don't have a man right. And I just smile because the mention of that man makes me happy.
