Lerato [COMPLETED]

:::4::: Concern

♥︎THULI♥︎
THE NEXT DAY
AT BRA MIKE'S HOUSE
IN THE Main Bedroom
08:00

Sitting on the mattress the whole day is exhaustive. What's worse is not knowing who killed my husband. The police and the forensics are taking their time on finding the murderer.

When is my husband going to be buried if they take years? Gosh, Zwelwakhe,Minenhle and Vuyokazi still need their father. My goodness, Nomusa is going to make sure that I ran poor now that Mthukuzisi /Michael is dead.

Helper: (walks in the bedroom) Madam, Mpande wants to see you.

Me: Let him in.

Helper: Okay. (Leaves)

Mpande: (walks in the bedroom and sits down on the chair facing Thuli) Makoti.

Me: Malume.

Mpande: Vangile called me and told me about the death of my nephew. My condolences to you and your children.

Me: (sniffs) Ngiyabonga Malume. {Thank you, Uncle}

Mpande: I'm sorry to bring this to your attention but Nomusa is also Mthukusizi's wife. She needs to come join you on the mattress. Nobayeni is flying here tomorrow. She will also join you on the mattress.

Me: With all due respect Malume, I lived with Mthukusizi and that gives me every right to decide who sits on the mattress with me. Nomusa was not there when Mthukusizi was shot like an animal.

Mpande: But she is the first wife. Thulisile my child, you need to accept that Nomusa is your sister-wife. Whether you like it or not, she is joining you.

Me: That will happen over my dead body.

Nomusa: (walks in the bedroom with her suitcases) That can be arranged. (Places her sutcase next to the wardrobe and sits on the mattress) Sawubona Sisi, unjani? {Hello sister, how are you?}

Me: Ufunani lah Nomusa? {What do you want here, Nomusa?}

Nomusa: Haibo mnakhwethu, ngizo fihla ndoda yethu e ya bolawa nguwe. Angithi wena Thulisile intho onendaba ngayo imali, wena uzifunela imali nje. {Gosh sister wife, I'm here to bury our man that you killed. You only care about money, all you want is money.}

Me: Why would I kill my husband? What would I gain from killing him?

Nomusa: Asazi phela, kwazi wena noMalusi wakho. Into engiyaziyo ukhuthi uzothola umvuzo wakho wokho bolala umyeni wam. {I don't know, only you and your God know why. What I know is that you are going to regret killing my husband}

Me: Mxm. (Leaves the room)

The sight of Nomusa is disgusting. She cheats on Mthukusizi and thinks that she can come here and act all innocent. How I hate her. I just wish she chokes and dies from spewing bullsh*t about me.

Why would Mpande allow her to disrespect me like that? I thought he was on my side.

I stood up and went to the balcony leaving Nomusa on the mattress.

I got to the balcony and dialled Lerato's number. I don't know why I feel so comfortable with this girl.

I was hoping she won't answer as I realised what I was doing was stupid.

She answered at the third ring.

~~ON THE PHONE~~
Lerato🤍: Sis'Thuli?
