“ It's not you ,it's me ....”
those words play like a broken record in my head. Entlek,what does he take me for? Couldn't he atleast come up with something more creative than that? Tsk! Rhaa!
“Londiwe open this door,right now!”, A hoarse feminine voice pulls me back from my thoughts followed by a loud knock. Trust my friend to come guns blazing.
“Ngiyeza sheesh!”, I open the door.
“What the fuck is wrong with you Mzilikazi Londiwe Ziqubu?I was worried sick about you and I had to cover for your ass at work" ,Stacy says ,worry written all over her face.
you know shit is about to hit the fan when Stacy calls me by my full government name which I very much hate.i mean who would name a baby Mzilikazi? You haven't even let out your first word and already you're mourning? yeses,that woman really hates me.
I let out a sigh “He dumped me Stace”, That's all I manage to say before I retire to my couch and grab my glass of white wine.
“When?How?”, She asks sitting down next to me .
I narrate the events of the previous day and she just lets out a bitter chuckle.
“Come”, We cuddle on the couch while watching this new series ‘The wife’ by Dudu Busane-Dube.
The name is Mzilikazi Londiwe Ziqubu,and I very much prefer to be called by my middle name. A 24 year old who is still getting her shit together and yep,basando ngidumper. My boyfriend of two years dumped me yesterday after everything we've been through. I should've listened to Stacy when she told me that he'll never change. Once you forgive a man for cheating on you,just know that he'll do it again ngoba wena uyimbokodo.
