Mweemba's POV
My heart hurts,my friend is dead,I am very sure I have an enemy out there,I could have said it's chuma but I only told her the truth after Nicolas's death,besides I do not think chuma is capable of murder,that afternoon I wanted nothing to do with the world,I slept in my bed all day,chuma was getting ready to go nowhere nothing unusual about that" come lay in bed with me" I begged.
" no way so you can turn me into a lazy bum like you" she joked.
Who could the person behind these murders be,do they know who my child is? There should be a case at the station I need to talk to the officer who accompanied those girls at the funeral,now that I am alone I need to be extra careful of what I do,through my connections i managed to get the officer's number.we agreed to meet the following day at a restaurant near town,the case was too sensitive to involve a lot of people,chuma had finished getting ready and left the room,I got into the shower
Flashback
I am really sorry Thandi,I promise you it was not intentional " I frowned,the beautiful girl I was sneaking around with got mad at me after I allowed something to happen in her vulnerable state. We made passionate love the previous night,she was sad about something,upto now I do not know what made her so sad,that was the last time I saw her.
Back to my shower,I felt relaxed as the water went down on my body,I covered myself with a towel on my wet body,my body tensed up when I heard chumas bag fall to the ground,I hope she doesn't blame me for it I rushed to pick up the things that had fallen out of her bag,a tiny folded piece of paper caught my attention,my curiosity suppressed my respect for her privacy,what could be on the paper,I unfolded it slowly,my stomach turned to find Nicolas's name,the address,and a name of a hospital in another city,this is why I need sibeso,he would know this town,I captured the information on the piece of paper,my heart was begging my brain not be right,if chuma knew Nicolas why did she react like that when I asked her to escort me,she has been acting clueless all this time,what more does she know,does she know who my child is,and this address,this area is near town,seconds away from the police station,my knees were trembling,honesty I was afraid,afraid for my life,child,and afraid of dying,what reason... money? It immediately came to me chuma knew I wanted to transfer my property to my child's name,I never thought she would care,first she has her own money,secondly she never showed interest in my property. I carried my gun just in case,walking down stairs I saw her sipping on some juice with her legs crossed,she's too much of an angel to kill anyone," I..am going for a drive" I nervously said,trying to keep my distance from her, she simply nodded without a word.
