"Ntwenhle yam"

"Baby wam"

"Uvuke njani sthandwa sam(how did you wake up this morning my love)"

"Eyy with a lot on my mind"

"Why?what's wrong?"

"Nothing really...baby can I ask you something?"

He goes silent for a while.

"What's going on Ntwenhle?"

"Well...remember the conversation we had about the teeth and removing people that are problematic?"

I hear him chortle. "Yes I do,what about it?"

"Well I've been thinking and...". I sigh shaking my head. "You know what just forget I said anything"

"Ntwenhle no you not doing that. Thetha(talk)"

"I was thinking about this thing of Zwelethu and how I could just put an end to it then I remembered our conversation and then had this stupid idea"

"So you are considering doing it?"

"Yes...No...I don't want him to die Ndumiso I just want something like a scare"

"But baby that can be arranged I told you mos"

"But baby thats not me I don't want to be responsible for hurting anyone"

"Baby..."I hear him exhale. "Baby aren't you tired of this back and forth"

"Ndumiso okay fine let's just say I agree do you promise to just scare him"

"You can trust me babe"

"Okay you know what fine...fine.Please Just scare him

"Baby just let me take care of that. Anyways what time is your flight?"

"This afternoon at 17:00pm"

"How much will you need?"

I giggle hysterically. "Haybo Ndumiso you can't be serious like have I ever needed money or asked you money before?"

"You not answering my question Ntwenhle"

"Kibatla(I want) 50k"I giggle

"Okay"

"No man Ndumiso I'm joking don't send me any money just send me roses with your scent"

"What else?"

"You"

I hear him laugh that laugh of his that I love to hear. I miss him shame.

"I'll try to see if I can send a me"

I suck my teeth. "Bye Ndumiso I need to go to work"

"Bye my love,take care of yourself for me"

"Ndonqena(I'm too lazy)"

"Ntwenhle I'm dropping this call cause uqalile ngezinto zakho"

I laugh hysterically. "Bye babe"

He drops the call and I tune on my car audio before starting the engine.

"So everything is set the only thing you need to do is your nails and hurrrr(hair)"Andile says settling down on the chair across me.

"Set an appointment for today I'm sure I'd be done with the important things by 14:00pm so we can leave by that time" I instruct with my eyes glued on my laptop screen.
