ASANELE'S POV

" Zintle please talk to me, what's wrong ?"

I have been asking Zintle this question for the umpteenth time now. The only answer I got were tears falling from her eyes . What ever it is must be huge .

She looked lost. She wasn't her hyper and bossy self. The Zintle I know would never be like this. She is the strongest person I know .

I refuse to think the worst . Nothing is strong enough to break my sister. Maybe she broke up with MaK. But I doubt though , MaK and her are the best people out there and they make the best couple.

I won't lie at first I didn't like MaK . The thought of my sister dating was just not very digestible . I mean the girl is my only sister and I'm allowed to be the protective brother , even if I'm younger.

Nkosinathi on the other hand was happy. He was happy that our sister had a girlfriend , someone to make her happy .
Not that I didn't want her happy but I just wanted to be your typical brother.

And Lunathi was on my side.

" Ndak'cela mntase khaya thetha nam . Kwenzeke ntoni ? "

(I'm begging you ,talk to me . What happened ? )

She just buried the face deep into her knees . She was only wear a sport bra and a sweatpant .She will catch a cold if she continues to sit on these cold tiles .

I moved slowly from the door and towards Zintle . I tried not to startle her as she was shaking .

I went to sit next to her . I was sceptical about whether I should touch her or not .
I hesitantly put my arms on her shoulders .

She flinched and screamed. She moved away from me .

" Sundibamba ! Ndiyeke ! "

( Don't touch me !  Leave me alone !)

Her tone was sharp like the dagger stabbing my heart . She was saying somethings but they were muffled by her sobs.

I couldn't control the tears that fell from my eyes . I don't know how to react . This is my sister for heaven sake and I can't comfort her .

Oh God please don't do this to her .

Asanele : Don't do this please . What's wrong ?

I moved close to her . I held despite her struggling.

Asanele : It's me Asanele , your brother . Look it's me.

She finally gave up the struggle and sobbed hard . She kept on mumbling stuff that I couldn't clearly hear .

She was apologising for something I didn't know . I pulled her into my arms and cried with her .

After the long crying session I heard soft snores .  I looked down on my lap , Zintle's head was lying there.

She was frowning even in her sleep.
I carried her to her bed . She was losing her weight . Zintle is a thick kind version of a slender but now she's so thin . Even the clothes she is wearing are kind of wearing her.

I don't like this , at all.

Just as I was about to leave , something caught my eye . What the fuck ! There was some sort of a mark on her neck . It was something that looked like a strangle mark.
