Blood Sister

BLOOD SISTER

Nthabiseng Selepe

The drive home was the longest but I didn't mind , I enjoyed the ride . Busiswa slept on my lap while Busisiwe was driving , God knows how I have missed my babies.  I had told my sister that I did not want them to visit me in prison , I didn't want them to see me like that . I made sure to behave so that I can get released early and it worked , I was supposed to serve for 20 years but than got release after 15 years . Each and every month I would receive pictures of my babies and brought me joy and kept me moving while I was inside .

We drove to this luxurious neighborhood and drove in one of the biggest houses in the street , I couldn't help myself stare in awe it is not like I am not used to these kinds of places it is just that I didn't think that my sister would be here one day. I am sure that her business is booming for her to afford such a place , who knows maybe she is also married to a rich nigga . Talking about marriage I bet that Carl is already married , I quickly push the thought away I don't want to ruin my mood by thinking about him . No one could wait for 15 years for someone who committed a crime that I did , I woke my baby up than we walked out of the car .

" Your Aunt has done well for herself " I say as I smile looking at this place , this is the kind of houses we would always talk about owning. They nod and led the way up the steps to the door , Busiswa stopped before opening the door she turned and looked at her twin who nodded than they looked at me . I kept quiet and looked at them waiting for them to talk , whatever they have to say it might be big.

" Mama whatever you see inside or hear just know that it doesn't Metter we still love and appreciate you " Busisiwe says , I look at them puzzled

" What is it ?" I ask

" It might hurt but know that we have got your back " Siwe says as she pushes the door than walk in " Welcome home " one of them mumbled.

I follow them everything here screams money , the door led us to a passage that is full of pictures of family . Out of all the pictures only one of them was bigger and stood out for everyone attention,  they made sure it did . It stole my attention,  the other pictures did not Metter but this one this particular one wich I think I should be happy about . It is my sisters wedding picture , with her husband who also happens to be none other than Carl Smith . I tear my eyes away from the picture as I feel a lump forming in my throat , I try to swallow it as I look at the twins who are looking at me with pity written all over their faces ,I can't break down infront of them .

" Babe she is back " I say over the phone while still looking at the city lights , it is quite around here everyone has left including Nomzamo.  It is only me and the security guards that are patrolling,  I have also finished my work for today I should have been home but God knows I am not ready for that . I had stopped visiting my sister in prison after marrying her fiance , I also didn't know that she was getting release today .

" waar is jy?"( Where are you ?)

"I am still at the office I can't really go home,  I don't think that I have strength to face her alone " I say as a tear escapes my eye

"luister babe ek sal jou by die kantoor kom haal , wag vir ons sal dit saam doen na alles ons is saam hierin"(listen babe i will come pick you up at the office , wait for me we will do this together after all we are in this together ) I nod my heard while wiping my tears

" Okey " I say lowly

" Ek het jou lief"(I love you )" I smile a little

"ek is lief vir jou ook" ( I love you too)" I say than hung up , I put the phone ontop of the table and breath out. This weekend I will have to go see my parents,  I take my laptop and log in to Netflix atleast this will take my mind from thinking .

The ride home today was shot , it is already dark outside and the lights where on . Carl opened the car door for me and hold my hand as we walked up the steps to the door , he looked at me and I nodded as he opened . From the door we could hear laughter and forks hitting the plates , we followed the sound to the dining area . I held on Carl's hand tighter than expected , but he didn't mind becouse he squeezed my hand in return . We got to where they where seated and Busiswa was the first one to see us as she was sitted on the chair that faced the door way.

" Hey guys you are back " Siwe and Nthabiseng turned around and looked at us , I could see the excitement leaving my sister system as her eyes landed on mine ,she didn't spare Carl a look . At this point I felt like crying , I wasn't prepared for any of this I knew this day would come but I was not ready for it .
