NOMZAMO

chapter 12

Charlene's POV

Well since mom is a bit held up with her guests I guess I'll take a chance to sneak  out and go to the maids headquarters. I wonder if the poor girl is still alive.The last time I saw her was weeks ago strong as an ox;cleaning or washing the dishes.Poor child has endured pain for the past weeks her mother must have not decayed full and she must be turning in her grave.I quickly run and arrive there it smells like urine here.The walls are even in a bad condition seems like this building has been here since 1800BC.I take out the keys to open the door and it's so heavy.The first thing that I see is Nomzamo laying on the floor blood has even dried on the floor.I rush to her to check if she's still alive and her pulse is faint meaning there is still a chance that Nomzamo will survive. What is the solution to this do I scream and ask for help or do I simply leave Nomzamo to die here like a toothless dog. An idea then pops and I quickly run to the living room where everyone is.

Charlene:Gentlemen I need to show you something, this could work to your advantage for your agricultural what what.Please follow me.That place you might use it as a storage for your gardens utilities,seeds,manure or fertilizers.

(We arrive at the so called store room.Mom will be so furious about all of this but she will heal and stuff.It is nothing hectic. I told her that one day I'll cut her claws off and maybe this might be the day today)

Angel:What is this Charlene and how did you access the keys to this room?
Charlene:Mom I've got brains ,you may ridicule me and call me stupid when it comes to my grades but I guess you are 10 times more stupid than me.Did you think that your little dirty secrete will be kept hidden for days,months or even years that you wanted to also kill Nomzamo and get away with murder.I am so sick and tired of your malicious ways.I will list them all I mean it never made any difference you killed dad ,2 of our helpers and now you want to kill Nomzamo.
Angela:Oh shut up you little brat. I birth,feed and school you.I told you to stop poking your nose in my business now look where this snifing around of yours got us.You have aired my diryt laundry for the public to see and you'll see what I do to you.Who is your father Charlene or is he the one who is rotting underground.Gentlemen this is a whole complex issue and sensitive one that needs to be handled with care. Things just got out of hand and I lost control of the whole situation but our deal is not affected by this whole thing right?
Siyanda:You have just made everything a lot easier see it's either you give me 70% or I go to the police and report everything that has been happening here and also you give us the girl.
Angela:Over my dead body then what happens if I give you her this means that you'll run and go to the officials with your big mouths and report each and every shenanigan that has been taking place in this farm.
Mzwandile:It's a fair deal.We get 70% ownership of your proposals and you give us Nomzamo. I mean it would be a good advantage for you since you never wanted her and the state she is in is not nice at all.It shows that you've been whipping her God know for what.Do you know that you could be locked away for years you will be charged on kidnapping, violence and also attempted murder.We might weigh the years and conclude that it's life plus 3 other murders you've committed and this time you are at our mercy.You choose go spend time locked or enjoy your life outside by giving us what we want.Let us go baba ,we've got businesses to run. We will give her this day only to think about it and one last thing make sure that Nomzamo is taken out of here.Take her to the best hospital and that she gets proper treatment.Stay well Jones and take care of yourself.Charlene here is my business card if there is any funny stuff you find weird I'm only one call away.
Charlene:Thank you(smiles)

5 minutes later

Angela:Do you have any idea of what you have done.Your stupid decision has cost me millions today by what ,saving that thing(tries to slap her)
Charlene:If I were you I wouldn't be doing that.The energy you are wasting on my should be used on making sure that Nomzamo receives the best medical care otherwise you are liable to facing serious jail time and I'm not bluffing.This is a very crucial time for you so if I were you "mom" I'd play my cards carefully because one wrong move you lose your life forever.
Angela:Shouldn't you be helping me because you did all of this.
Charlene:No,I don't think so.Lay in the bed you made yourself.Time is not on your side(blows a kiss and walks away)

(Angela screams in frustration)
 
Ongoing call with someone
Angela:Hi ,I have an emergency here at home and I need a doctor and two nurses immediately.
Person:How severe is the matter Ma'am?
Angela:The person has suffered beatings that were left untreated and are now infected. Her ribs might have been broken and she might have suffocated.
Person:okay ma'am.A doctor will be sent to you shortly you requested the person to be treated at home right?
Angela:Yes please also about the payments and all that how do I go on with the process?
Person:We usually discuss that after thd doctor has seen the patient. Please do send the address so that we are able to help you.
Angela:Thank you.

At the hospital

Person:Afternoon Doctor Buthelezi.There is  an emergency a woman has requested for a doctor and 2 nurses for a patient.I will arrange for the ambulance and the nurses.Prepare yourself and also the patient suffered beatings that were left untreated later on led to a development of infections. She was also suffocated and broke a few ribs.

At the Jones Household

Angela:Charlene please go and open the door.Nomzamo's second saviour is here.
Charlene:Was is necessary to say all of that though?
Angela:Sometimes it is to put people in their place.
(Charlene rushes to open the door )

Dr Buthelezi:Afternoon young lady we were informed that there is an emergency here can you kindly show us the patient.I am Dr Buthelezi by the way
Charlene:This way Dr Buthelezi
(They enter the room that Nomzamo is in and the doctor does not look happy at all )
Dr Buthelezi:What on Earth happened here?Was she being butchered to death or what?
Charlene:I'd rather not say anything before I end up like her (pointing a finger on the unconscious Nomzamo)
Dr Buthelezi:So you say that she has suffered from beatings and it led to an infection also she broke a few ribs.The sad news is that I will not be able to treat her  because her case requires hospitalization since an x-ray has to be done to see how bad are her fractured bones also we need to run a few tests to check if the infection did not affect her severely.Can you call your mother please
(Angela enters what a coincidence)
Dr Buthelezi:Right on time Ma'am,I have told your daughter what needs to be done and I am not a fan of repeating myself so she'll tell you what is required but for now we are taking the girl to hospital she needs to be hospitalized.We will deal with everything at the hospital. I will ask my two paramedics to come and take her while you and I have a small talk right?
Angela:(talks nervously)Yes Dr Buthelezi .We will talk in library room can you kindly follow me please.(They both arrive at the library room and Angela is sweating)Please take a seat Dr
Dr Buthelezi:I won't be civil and all.I will get straight to the point what did you do to the poor girl?
Angela:I(stammers),(clears her throat).Things got out of hand ,I was not intended on beating her to a point where she broke her ribs.I thought that I was disciplining her that's all.
Dr Buthelezi: Do you also discipline your daughter to a point where she ends up with a brokem rib or someting broken?
Angela:No(moves uncomfortably).So you'll tell me to the officials of my wrong doings. We could work something out like maybe pocket money?
Dr Buthelezi:See that is where your problem is ,you think just because you have money you can buy and have anything you wish to have.Including buying the truth and making it look lile lies.I have a patient to save so please excuse me and meanwhile practice your statement or confession you'll be making to the cops. I shall take my leave.
