It's been long week with classes right and left now it's Friday thanks god I say to my self taking out my sneakers Durban is very hot at this moment
My ring cellphone brings me back and it's mama call I answer mama wam omuhle(my beautiful mom) I stop when hear sniffing on the other side jesu mama !! I say a little louder with my heart pounding "sis " it was my sister angel
Angie baby where mama why are you crying at the point my voice was cracking "uwile futhi sisesbhedlela babhizi ngaye asazi kwenzakalani syasaba" (she fainted again we are at the hospital we don't know what's wrong we are scared )she says sobbing jehova my world just stops for few seconds mama was alright not to long ago why is god doing this to me
Don't worry baby I will come okay mama will be fine. I got off the phone with my sister my mind was all over the place where was I going to get 500rand to go to nkandla now
After sending mama money the other day I was left with almost nothing
I didn't have friends so zandile was my option I told her everything it the first time I've had a kinda sit down talk with her and she borrowed me the money
I packed two dresses ran like crazy women to taxi rank by 6 o'clock I made it to my home town enkandla I took the taxi to the local government hospital . When I got there my siblings were a mess izingane zamama when they saw me we embraced each other and cried Phofu asifuni lutho ngomama she's the only parent we have
our father left us when mama had stroke
The doctor came and told us umama has to do surgery she had a heart condition she had to surgery fast or she could die
After hearing the doctor saying 35k is required for surgery my heart nearly stopped what have i done to god
"Sis sizokwenzenjan umama uzoshona sis"
That was my sister u angel at this time I didn't know what to say I mean i don't have even 200 rand in me what the 35000 rand I just cried out sooo loud my sister cried along with me
This took me back where I didn't want to go to university I wanted to Stay here and look for a job Mybe at the supermarket but mama put her foot down when she saw I got the bursary she forced me to go she said I was her hope And begged me to go but now I'm regretting my choices Mybe if I stayed I would be able to even apply For loan to pay for mama
