I'll Always Find You.

chapter 22

I got up and left. There was absolutely nothing left to safe,he wasn't even trying to deny the accusations or convince me otherwise.

I've been through too much as it is,I was definitely not going to stay here and plead with a man that clearly shows no no respect for me ,my time and put my siblings in danger. Fuck him.

ZWIDE: Naledi. NALEDI!
He yelled and guards pulled him back to his holding celll.

I walked out the main entrance to find detective Palesa standing by an Uber and talking to Mpho.

PALESA: Your ride is ready to go back home. I'll keep you updated about what the court decides to do.
I walked up to the car and opened the door.

NALEDI: Don't bother. Thank you though.
I got into the car and told the driver to get going.

2hours later.

We stopped at a petrol station to use the bathroom and buy a couple of snacks gor my siblings to atleast do something, say something. The ride has been awfully quiet. I get it ,I've put them through so much already, especially Karabelo.

NALEDI: Sooooo .....what do you want to buy Belo.

MPHO: Nna ke kopa ice cream Aus'Naledi.

NALEDI: No problem.
I took her hand and led her to the frozen section and watched as she looked indecisively for her favorite ice cream.

NALEDI: Wena what do want?

KARABELO:I want to go home.

NALEDI: Hao bathong Belo . Look I know this past week has been hectic and dram....

KARABELO: And you're to blame for it!
He interrupted.

NALEDI: I get it Karabelo. I shouldn't have trusted him.

KARABELO: Its fine, I'm used to disappointment anyway.
He walked back to the car and slammed the door.

I paid for Mphos ice-cream and went back to the car drove back home.

2 months later.
Not thinking about Zwide was hard. I hate that fact that I miss him. I promised myself to never trust a man again to avoid being hurt and disappointed but here I was again. My thoughts got interrupted as I heard a knock on my bedroom door.

KARABELO: I'm out.

NALEDI: Already?
He's been leaving home early and coming back late for the whole week . It's concerning honestly.

KARABELO: Yeah.

NALEDI: What time are you coming back?

KARABELO: I don't know?
I got up from bed .

NALEDI: Well I was thinking about having a  little braai late today,just the three of us. You know?

KARABELO: Ke tla bona fela ha ebe ke tla tla. Bye.
And just like that he left,again.

*Work*

Agh work. I never wanted to be a waitress, I mean who would? I never wanted to study architecture either ,that was a dream my father had for me. And now that I know know he's a piece of shit ,I want to rebrand. Build myself up from the beginning but I'm broke, I have too siblings I need to take care of and rent to pay so I guess my dreams will have to wait.

....''Naledi table 2 needs you! Stop slacking around. ''

NALEDI: Yes sir.
My boss is honestly a paid in the ass,ordering me around like I'm a 5 year old.

ZENZILE: Don't mind her,she's a bitch to everyone.

NALEDI: Well someone needs to tell her to be a little nicer.
