OTHER HALF.

At OR THAMBO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

40 minutes later,Barona drove in the airport.they both hurried in,Jamani looked at the screen and the flight to USA was up next.he scanned his eyes around and noticed Khangelwa on the line to receive their bags.he turned and looked at Barona who was still searching.

Jamani:Please wait for me in the car,I will sort this out.
Barona:Wait,why do you want me to go back,how am i sure that you won't let them go.
Jamani:I won't,you have my word.
Barona:Okay ..Okay.but if you are planning on playing me here just know that I won't rest untill i have my daughter and all that will ruin your wife's reputation even yours because I will go as far by taking it to social media.so before you do anything,just think of your wife being prisoned.i know you love her.please do the right thing.

He said then walked away leaving him in deep thoughts.Jamani sighed then walked over to where she was standing.he gently pulled her hand and she turned.her heart skipped as she looked at him

Jamani:Come let's go.
Khangelwa:I can't I'm sorry but i have to leave.
Jamani:I know the truth now.everything,there is no need for you to run away.
Khangelwa:(heart skipped)
Jamani:Can we please go now without causing any scene?.
Khangelwa:Okay.

Relebohile came back from the toilet.she walked over to her parents then looked at her dad with a little smile on her face.more like a smile of being ashamed.

Relebohile:you are coming with us?.

Jamani looked at her then helped Khangelwa with the bags without replying.They all walked outside.Jamani looked at Barona smoking leaning against his car bonnet.

Jamani:Let me take these bags.

He put the bags in the car then turned and looked at relebohile.

Jamani:Get in the car,I want to talk to your mom.

Relebohile got inside the car.Jamani looked at Khangelwa then sighed trying calming down.

Jamani:Why?.
Khangelwa:
Jamani:I am so angry at you right now and the fact that you are just looking at me straight in the eyes without saying anything makes more angry.see that guy over there,he is rele's fath....can we please get inside that car so we can all talk and don't even think of running away.
Khangelwa:Okay.

He turned going to the other side and got on the front passenger side as Khangelwa got in from the side they were standing joining Relebohile.minutes later Barona got inside the car then drove off. Silence filling the whole car.

****
Around 02:00am,two men jumped inside Barona's yard.both in their baragloves.one guy walked away going to the back of the house while the other one used his tools to unlock the front door.he swinged one of his unlock pins on the key pad.he swinged it there for a few times and the door finally opened.

He walked in then silently closed the door.he looked at Onthatile sleeping on the couch then tiptoe.d to the kitchen he looked around the luxurious kitchen in envy chuckled then removed his baraglove before opening the fridge.he took out the juice before drinking it from it's bottle.he took a two Russians then chopped them in his mouth chewing them as raw as they were.he place the bottle of juice on the counter then walked out of the kitchen leaving the fridge opened.

He walked inside Barona's study room before closing the door.he looked at the big framed picture of himself then the one of his family.He smiled a little then sat down on the chair.The door opened and his partner walked in.

Him:Sticks Mr,Did you find the safe?
Sticks:I just got in but I'm sure it's here.
Him:You are not serious.
Sticks:Tshepo relax man.Look for it,I have something important to do.
Tshepo:Okay.

The guys looked around for the safe and sticks walked out heading straight to the TV room where Onthatile was still sleeping.he took out a black plastic from his bag.inside was a gun and a knife.he took out the knife first then ran it on her hand filling it with her fingerprints,he did the same on the gun then put it back on the plastic then went back to the study before taking a sit while his partner was searching.

****
Barona parked the car near jamani's yard.he gave him a side eye then Jamni turned to relebohile.

Jamani:Please get in we want to talk about something important.

Relebohile stepped out of the car then ran inside the house.Barona looked at jamani then at Khangelwa who was awfully quiet seated on the back.

Barona:There is nothing we can talk about here without my wife.i am trusting you by leaving without taking my child.i actually trust you.i don't even know what to say to my wife considering the fact that it took a her a while to heal from the child that we buried, the child she thought was ours.no one deserves to go through what we went through especially her.and right now looking at my daughter who sees me as a stranger because one women decided it was best to steal another person's child and replace her with dead one.i just hope that one day I have the courage to look at you and not have the urge to just strangle you to dearth.i wish and pray that one day you go through the pain my wife went through.(looked at jamani)i feel sorry for you for having such a women as your wife.please get out I want to go home.

Jamani sighed then got before opening the door for Khangelwa.she slowly got out and he drove off.she looked at jamani's face and she had never seen him so broken.the fact that he still opened the door for her had her eyes filled with tears.

Khangelwa:I'm sorry.
Jamani:I don't know how to comfort you right now.i don't think i will be able to continue with this.i don't know the women who is looking at me right now.just(sighed) please get inside the house.i need some air.

Khangelwa nodded then walked inside holding her bags.she put the bags down on the TV room before heading to the bedroom.she closed the door as tears filled her eyes and she broke down crying out loud.

In Barona's study

Sticks:We used to be friends with this guy.
Tshepo:(laughed)Haha you've started with your lies.
Sticks:I'm serious.
Tshepo:Are you telling me a man like him used to be friends with You?haha try another one.
Sticks:believe me.
Tshepo:(sighed)We should just leave there is nothing in here
Sticks:Okay. Don't worry I have other plans on how we can get him to give us the money.i know for sure he still has some of it.
Tshepo:Some of which money?.
Sticks:(Cleared his throat)Nothing.lets Go.

Tshepo turned and looked at him suspiciously and they went out.
