One week later

Yibanathi

So a week has passed since that incident of Amile and Boy Boy. Let me tell you that a lot has happened but the one main important thing that has left me shocked was Mrs Ndamase.

So I spoke to Mrs Ndamase yesterday asking her if she heard anything about my disappearance and she told me to relax nothing will happen but I am not allowed to step outside the gate at any circumstance.

Okay I am grateful for the roof she is giving me but what I don't understand is why am I not allowed to step out and I am not even allowed to use a cellphone and she seemed very happy to find out that I do not have it with me since I left it at home that day I ran for my life.

It is currently midday and I am sleeping on the bed with my eyes closed but I am not really asleep. I am alone in this house Boy Boy went wherever it is he went too.

Did I mention that Cebo's behaviour has changed a bit. He greets me and he is finally using the manners he had stored in him like saying please and thank you. There is a bit of progrees in him. He is still a bit aggressive if I can call it that. Two days ago he asked me to make him that porridge which he likes which is the old school style porridge if you ask me. It is just maize meal porridge with sugar, milk and butter (I used stork since it was the only thing there in the fridge).

I was feeling tired I just wanted to sit down for at least 10 minutes so I can breathe a little but no Cebo wanted the porridge immediately I just wanted those few minutes after I told him to wait he slapped me so hard. I just kept my head down and dragged myself to the kitchen and made the porridge while holding onto the kitchen counter for balance and my face was burning.

So I served him his so called porridge and I have been avoiding him since. I am pregnant, I don't even know how far along I am but I must be on 4 months by now. I don't even know if the baby is fine or what. Cebo or mommy's boy should I say is here laying his hand on me and I keep quiet because I need shelter. I am living or should I say hiding out at some house here in Umbumbulu. Oh how I miss eNanda. I am sure Sandile must be worried sick asking about me. I miss him so much but I am sure Avuyile has poisoned his brain about me by now.

So last night I cooked as his mom requested and she forced us to sit and eat together and sensed some tension between us so she had us apologizing to each other and I don't even know what I was apologizing for honestly.

I am wearing a white spencer and that Hugo Boss t-shirt that I found here the first day I moved in here and Cebo told me he does not like that t-shirt on me because it is ugly like the owner who bought it. The owner forgot it here when he left after he came uninvited just like me. He regrets not burning it after all that guy stole his dream girl and then dumped her after 2 weeks of them being together and the girl did not want anything to do with Cebo since he is kind of related to the guy some way some how and I did not want to push as he just said all of that. It is all because of a t-shirt and he left after saying that.

I have a black skirt on well it matches the t-shirt. The skirt is just below the knee. I closed my door but not fully. I hear a knock.

"Knock knock Yibanathi."

Cebo says and I stay silent.

He knocks and the door opens and he enters, like seriously stupid me what did I think when I just pushed the door and climbed the bed hoping it will shut on its own.

"Ulele ngale skhathi?"
[You are sleeping at this time?]

He says.

He starts tapping me.

I just open my eyes and stare at him in silence.

"Wooo!"

He screams when his eyes reach mine. It must be the shock from finding me staring at him.

"Cebo when you are done with your drama get out."

I say to him and turn the other way.

"Seriously, look I came here to apologize to you."

He says while he sits on the bed.

Okay! This is so weird what happened to the crazy Cebo.

"For what exactly?"

I ask him because I need for him to be specific and not only did he hurt me but it is wrong to hit a woman.

"Everything."

He says and puts his head down.

"It's okay I forgive you but you need to stop being rough with me I am a girl, Boy Boy."

"I promise to not do it again."

He says to me.

"Don't say that just stop when you feel like doing it."

I say to him and he nods while looking up at me.

"Hug?"

He says while looking at me with open arms. I am quite hesitant but I give in and hug the guy.

We hug and I remove my hands off him. He lets go.

"It's great that we are good now because I can't stay with someone who is angry at me in the same roof."

Cebo says.

"Cebo Ndamase."

I say to him. While looking at him.

"Cebelihle Ndamase."

He says with a smile. So he has such a decent name after all. I was here thinking it must Cebolethu like iCebolethu the funeral parlor.

"Nice Lihle and no more calling me girly, please."

I say to him.

"I know it's Yibanathi Chiliza."

Huh?

So he knows my full name and he is buchering it on purpose.

"Why do you look surprised?"

He asks me.

"Uhm hello you always call me girly so and plus your mom calls me dear so I thought..."

I tell him when I am interrupted by a kiss.

After the kiss he stands up and leaves the room.

What on earth just happened. I am left in shock could it be that I was dreaming?

No it cannot be because the door is now wide open.

OH MY GOSH!!!

Cebo kissed me like the guy kissed me on the lips. Oh my!
