CHAPTER 1
WORK OUT

Today seemed like a hot day and looking at the weather, it confirms that it's supposed to be burning hot

Pulling out my gym wear, which consisted of a black sports bra and matching shorts, quickly I got ready for gym
I have been exercising for the past few days and I was dearly influenced by my dear friends

My Friends have a tendency of wanting, well going to places where they could find potential husbands or boyfriend and let me tell you, I don't,
I only go with them because I decided to take a healthy way of life and them being around gives me the confidence and motivation but mostly I don't want to go there alone

Finally changing in my outfit, I put on some lotion and grabbed a track pants to put over my shorts so I could actually get there decent
I had no problem with wearing shorts but I had to take a route full of perverted man and I am definitely not in no mood to entertain them and their disgusting words

I quick tie my braids up and quickly brush my teeth
"Tumi, are you going already?"I hear my younger sister shout from the bedroom
I live with my young sister Thato by my flat which i have stayed in for the past 4 years of university, it was actually her first year and my parents thought it would be better if we shared accommodation so she's safe and also gets used to the place before living alone

"Yes, am about to leave why?" I mumble as I spit out the foam in my mouth before rinsing
Wiping my mouth clean for excess paste  I walk back to the room to find her laying on the bed with her phone on her hands
Typical Thato

"Can you please grab us some breakfast on your way back" she asks as I enter the room, let me tell you one thing,Thato is the laziest person in the world, I mean we have so much food in the flat to make breakfast with but she'd rather buy, well ask me to buy
"Sharp" I answer
Grabbing my phone and my purse I walk out the flat then lock the doors, knowing she won't stand to do it and quickly run to my gym session

I quickly run to the nearest store to buy a bottle of water before beginning my journey to the gym
I could always get a Uber to get  there but walking to the gym gets me my warm up before reaching the gym because when I get there I know that I would not have time for warm up before the gym sessions starts since I always can't get up early to be early for anything

I have to walk four streets down and a under a bridge to get there, it's easy getting down the streets since they don't seem busy at this time of the day but getting to the bridge is one place I would love to avoid but I can't since it's the only route to the gym
The bridge had a mini taxi rank where I feel very uncomfortable, they would always call out on me or grab my hand but I avoid the all the time, it's just uncomfortable but I can deal with it just fine and anyways i don't really know Zulu and it's weird for me not to know Zulu since I have been staying in joburg for 4 years now but I have always avoided to learn it and also my group of friends only speak Setswana or pedi, so I had no reason to actually learn it but I will learn soon
I do know a few words like greetings and also ngimuhle which meant I am beautiful, that's basically all I knew

Getting to the bridge, I avoid a place where it was crowded by people but it was nearly impossible since I had to only walk by the road to get there and mostly people where scattered around the road so it was hard to avoid the men there
"Hello sisi" I hear someone say just behind me and guess what, I think I attracted someone's attention, walking a bit faster so I could try lose him or something
The person grabs my wrist and I stole dead on my tracks, slowly Turning to him, I am met with a light skin man, looking straight at me with his hands preventing to walk
You won't believe what happened next.......
