Nomzamo's POV

It's just an ordinary day in my office busy with paperwork
I'm disturbed from my work by a slight knock on the door

Me:"come in"

I'm just going through these documents my mind is elsewhere all I'm thinking about is my little girl

My personal assistant Tisha ,comes in she's such a sweet soul slight chuckle escapes my lips when I remember how Nkosenye always argued on the fact that I have a white personal assistant

Rare right ?

Problems of race don't entice me I'm just forever okay with anything I'm just me I believe each race deserves employment
I support blacks too

Tisha:"ma'am there's someone for you at the reception should I let them up ?"

Me:"who is it?"

Tisha:"Mrs mbatha"

Me:"i always say this tisha ,if it's any of my friends please do let them up "

Tisha:"noted ma'am"

She walks back outside and a few minutes later the door opens ,my all time best friend opens the door with a Krispy Kreme takeaway
She places it on the table

Lee:"trust your pa to give me a hard time getting in "

Me:"she's just doing her job"

Lee:"ngeke ngabe kade ngimxoshile mina phela mina I'm like the president in your life "

Me:"says you "

Lee:"aii suka awungiyeke Ngo mlungu wakho how are you ?"

I look at her and start sighing heavily

Me:"it's bad mngan"

Lee:"yin manje ?"

A loud gasp escapes her lips

Lee:"what!!!when!!!"

Me:"I only found out yesterday since then I've been here ,I can't help but feel we contributed "

Lee:"no don't say that kanti what happened everything was going good"

Me:"thingo is in love and it's a bad guy the biggest player and gang leader he's a gangster they think I'm not aware but I am "

Me:"she refused to let him go she's been crying and angry for so long ,she locks herself in her room dosent eat goes early in the morning to school and comes back it's the same routine "

Lee:"yeah neh"

Me:"I can't allow her to stoop that low ,I mean sure Ntsika is a nice gentleman but just not for my daughter "

Lee:"yohhh mngani it's your decision "

Me:"i don't know the doctors said her blood levels were increasing affecting her system phase one of terminal cancer "

I drop down my head and tears start flowing down my cheeks I start sobbing in the arms of my best friend I don't know what I would do without her

Me:"I can't lose a daughter"

Lee:"hold on tight ,zamo just keep your faith in God he knows what he's doing "

Me:"which point is he trying to prove by snatching my daughter away from me like this "
