OTHER HALF.

The cab dropped Relebohile at Nkazimulo's home and drove off.Rele looked at the big,she had never been here before so she didn't how it works.The wall wasn't bad,she could jump but it has electric fences.

She looked through the holes decorations,the yard was empty, only the garden guy moving around.who works till this time.minutes later the security guy disappeared through the rooms then minutes later he came back with his bag.The gate slid open automatically and he walked towards it.Rele ran to the corner of the wall then hid.she peeked as the guys stepped out and walked using the other direction.

The gate slid about to close and she hurried then got in the little inch that was left.the gate closed.

She looked at the big house.she wasn't about to let another girl enjoy all this.

Tshegofatso looked at her phone thoughtfully.she didn't feel good about this.Rele also didn't sound well.what if she wasn't just going to talk but do even more.

Her phone rang.she looked at the caller id and it was Nkazimulo.this time around she quickly answered.

Tshegofatso:Hey...Hello?.
Nkazimulo:Hey..that was quick.
Tshegofatso:(sighed)I have to tell you something.Rele called telling me that she is coming there.she did not sound good.she said she just want to talk but i think there is more.
Nkazimulo:What?. I'm not home.what did she sound like?.
Tshegofatso:Not Okay.i just wanted to warn you.call whoever is home and tell them not to open for her or if they see her they must call the police something is not right.
Nkazimulo:You are not making any sen....

Tshegofatso hung up then quickly changed to her clothes.Her room mate removed the headsets as she hurried.

Room mate:Hey,what's going on.
Tshegofatso:I have to go,my twin is in trouble.Lock and remove your key I will use mine when I come back.

She said then hurried out while requesting.

Nkazimulo's friend looked at him as he picked his car keys.

Friend:What's wrong.
Nkazimulo:I need to go.
Friend:What's wrong ,I'm coming with you.
Nkazimulo:Lets go.

They both hurried out and got in his car then he drove off heading home.

Relebohile took a deepbreath in while fixing her hoodie.she had to make sure that her face doesn't appear in any cameras.thats if there are any.who was she kidding offcause they are there,such a huge yard.

She opened the two litre bottle on acid then knocked.The door opened and a girl around her age looked at her.

Her:Can I help You.
Rele:Who are You?.
Her:You came to our house you can't ask me who I am.
Rele:Where is Nkazimulo?.
Her:I'm not answering any questions coming from you.
Rele:You must be his new girlfriend.

The girl stepped back and smiled folding her arms.this is the drama she has been looking forward to.this,she had to see how it unfolds.

Her:(Smiled)And What if I am?.
Rele:Then you took the wrong one b***

She stepped back the poured the acid on the girls chest.The girl screamed painfully immediately dropping the cooking pin she was holding.she sat down as the acid deepened in her skin burning her.

Relebohile stepped back instantly regretting what she had done.her mind came back and her hands shook as she dropped the acid down shaking.she looked at the girl who was struggled to breath.The gate opened and a car drove in.A man and a women stepped.

She quickly hid herself on the side of the house.the parents walked towards the car and she stepped out then ran to the main road.she stopped moving cars for a lift and finally one stoped and she got in.

Rele:Please drop me at my mother's place.
Women:Are you Okay,was someone assaulting you?.
Rele:(Crying)
Women:I think i should take you to the police station.
Rele:No ,no please.let me call my mom so she directs you.

The women looked at her and she was sweating while crying at the same time.
Rele called Khangelwa and she gave the women the phone.

*

The parents hurried up as they looked at their daughter laying down struggling to breath.

The mother screamed kneeling down.she noticed her chest burning down then turned to her husband.

Women:Dumi ,call the ambulance..baby please don't close your eyes please.

Her child slowly closed her eyes passing out.

Nkazimulo's car drove in,he looked at him mom with his little sister's head on her lap while their father moved around calling.he quickly stepped out then hurried towards them.he looked at him little sister who had her eyes shut,his heart breaking.he looked at the two litre bottle of acid on the side then closed his eyes.

Nkazimulo:Sh*t.

He said then lifted his sister up bridal style.

Women:We called the ambulance,driving her with the car will only make things worse.
Nkazi:Mama the ambulance won't get here anytime soon.
Dumi:He is right.

Nkazimulo put his little sister on the back passenger before getting in front and driving off.

Their parents got in their car and drove behind him.

Dumi:Please try to be strong for her.
Her:(Crying)did you see how she is like,how she looked like.......I, drive faster.

Meanwhile Tshegofatso stepped out of the cab.She took out her phone and dialed Nkazimulo.

Nkazimulo:Hello?.
Tshegofatso:Hey,I...where are You?.
Nkazimulo:Someone burned my little sister with acid.im on my way to The hospital.

He hung up.Tshego sat on the pavement as her heart broke.poor thing will have to deal with the effect of acid just because of her.she shouldn't have agreed to meet with Nkazi and maybe he would still be with Rele and she wouldn't have done this.

Tshegofatso:What have you done Rele.

****

At the hospital,Nkazimulo hurried in with his sister in his arms.the nurse who was there hurried to them pushing the bed.

Nurse:What happened?.
Nkazimulo:I think it's acid.
Nurse:Lay her down.

Nkazimulo layed her down as their parents hurried in.he looked at his mom who was crying.they followed the nurse as she pushed her to the ward.

****

Khangelwa stood by the gate waiting for the car to appear.minutes later a car pulled up and Relebohile stepped out with tears streaming down.she looked at Khangelwa then broke down crying.

Rele:(Crying)I didn't mean to do it.
Khangelwa:What's wrong baby?.

The women who dropped her gave Khangelwa thumbs up then got in her car before driving off.

Khangelwa:Tell me what you did.
Rele:(Crying)I,...you need to help me.
Khangelwa:Help you with what,what did you do?.
Rele:If the police come here looking for me please tell them I never left the house ,that I was here the whole day since from morning.
Khangelwa:Relebohile what did you do?
