" pick up....pick up! Damn it! "
I said throwing my phone on the back seat of the car, I sigh in frustration
Me: I should have gone with him! "
Sandile: I know...damn it, I also can't get hold of Zoe, maybe she on surgery or something"
Me: what if, Oyama Knows about Zuko...about Zuko being here?.  .  ."
Sandile: my love don't do this to yourself please "

I took a deep breath and held my face, I thought that maybe today or tonight I’d fall asleep
Without having to try,
For my mind is tired,
And my eyes are weak.
I count the hours that pass but with a restless soul, I realized that ever since Oyama came into my life, my life has had no peace or what so ever.

"Hay it's going to be ok," Sandile said holding my hand, I nodded while breathing out loud, he takes a turn making his way to  Burger King
Me: Sandile?"
Him: you need to eat Rose "
Me: yah I know...but Zuko needs me "
Him: mmmm"
He said not even looking at me but drove straight to the drive through,  he ordered our meal, and the minute we received our meal he instructed me to eat, I was about to say I'm not hungry but the look in his eyes made me zip my mouth,

I unwrapped my food and the smell alone made me realize that I'm famished, I swallowed, and I looked at my burger and chips and the temptation of its warm, inviting embrace, this meal is simple yet carried the epitome of comfort
And every bite takes me back in time
To a place of warmth, love, and true nourishment,
From the moment it touches my tongue
I am immediately transported to a new world
A world of flavor and excitement
Where every taste is an adventure

It’s the perfect mix of creamy, cheesy and crunchy
And I know with each bite, it will never fail
To tantalize and excite my taste buds
And leave me feeling more satisfied than ever before

" I'm not hungry she says "
Sandile mimicks me, and right there I noticed that my mouth is full, and I am  eating like a cavewoman,
" shut up ". I say with my mouth full and he chuckles shaking his head,

With me eating like there is no tomorrow my mind shut off from stressing and overthinking up until we arrived at the hospital,
I wiped my mouth and took a deep breath
Him: you ready "
I nodded and opened the door, stepped outside the car and Sandile met me halfway to hold my hand, I smiled at him and when I looked up I was met by Zuko rushing our way, I wanted to untangle my hand from Sandile's hand but instead, he just tightened his grip
Me: what are you doing?"
Sandile:me? I should be asking you that question..."
I bite my lip not sure how my rude son is going to react to this

" Finally you here, look I don't know what bullshit is going on here but I and Nikiwe stumbled into some family drama here"
Me: What?"

Sandile: the Dlaminis are here right?"
He asked Zuko,
Zuko looked at him debating if he should talk to him or not, they start eyeing each other up and down, ooh good lord, not this again, I hold my breath waiting for what poison will come out from Zuko's mouth,
Zuko: yeah...and there is this old man who is causing unnecessary drama, please come this way "
Sandile: that can only be Jabulani "
Zuko: yes that's him... I think Nikiwe and the Dlamini have a past and I was caught up in the middle, and it did not help that I too don't like this Enzo guy "
Me: what? Why...."
Zuko: he stole my girlfriend, jeez are we going to stand here the whole day or are we going to go onside "
Sandile nodded he let go of my hand and started walking with Zuko
I was left flabbergasted, ok what the fuck just happened? So here I was standing there like a lost puppy confused  as hell
" Mother, are you coming?"
Zuko asked looking at me perplexed

Me: yeah sure, " I said making my way to them
"So how does Jabulani know Nikiwe? " Zuko Asked Sandile
Sandile: she was once married to Lubanzi, JB's nephews..."
Me: hold up...im baffled now..so  Jabulani is Enzokuhle's father right? Enzokuhle is Ginger's Brother...and Ginger is Nikiwe's mother...Nikiwe who was once married to Lubanzi Dlamini who is the Nephey of Enzokuhle's father...???? "
