"Okay so on the first of December at 14:00,praying that the sky will be clear for the surprise. Venue will be by the beach. Am I leaving anything?" Lwandle asked.
"You can add too but for now I think it's okay." He confirmed.
"Alright. Remind me neh?today is a Thursday so every Monday,remind me please" She laughed.
"l'll ask uNelli to also remind you " He said.
"nami ngyom'tshela." Lwandle stood up to place it somewhere safe.
"Ithi ngik'tshele indaba dadewethu, uMah uxoshe uAunty" He said.
"Unamanga Mfundo! Mfundo uMah uxoshe uAunty?ngeliphi nkos'yami?" She takes a seat.
"Uthi uMah ushise ikhishi lakhe which is the stove. Uyabalisa manje uthi kuningi akushisile and ngyaz'buza ukuthi uAunty wake washisani engaka?nathi sabantu Lwandle. We make mistakes but ey uMawakho!" Mfundo said.
"Your parents are not being parents if you ask me. I'm done with them shame. I don't think l'll be comfortable with the new Aunty but if she's nice,then we can give it a go." Lwandle packs away her stuff.
"uAunty omusha ekhaya uAunty kaAndiswa." Mfundo swallowed hard.
"Woah woah woah! Wait! Mfundo wait! Uthini k'mina?" Lwandle did not show an inch of smile.
"njengoba ngisho nje. Ngyasola ukuthi uAndiswa udlise abazali bethu ngoba indlela abavuma ngayo wonke lombedo awushoyo,ay" Mfundo sighed.
"uRuth is the new Aunty?" Lwandle asked.
"Nje." He confirms.
"And another thing Mfundo,ang'safune lutho eng'hlanganisa nezindaba zasekhaya ngoba meke ngakhuluma or I'm just trying to look out for them,ngijika ngibe umuntu omubi right?abasale kanjalo. I would love to kill Andiswa and Ruth but I can't. Ang'safune lutho ezong'hlanganisa nasekhaya. And to think I was a daddy's girl,to imagine!" Lwandle said and let's out a huge sigh at the end.
"Don't sweat. Uzobaright yezwa?" He walks up to her and gives Lwandle a warm hug.
"I wouldn't be surprised if angizalwa uMah,at all" Lwandle said.
There might be a secret that Lwandle does not know about her parents in results of their brutal treatment towards her. And only Mfundo might have a clue or saw somewhere.
By 12,Lunch. Philani pays Mandisa a visit with her favorite food at her work. He was by the reception with Tania and Nev.
"Hello,how may I help you sir?" Nev asked based on his profession, of course.
"Hi I'm here to visit Miss Mandisa Nhlumayo." Philani said.
Nev looks at Tania with the "Oh no". And then returns to him immediately.
"It's lunch so,she's on lunch break. You can go check her by the staff room or her classroom. Either way you'll find her." Tania smiled.
"Okay,thank you." He said and walks away.
"Mandisa's prayers are working extra and overtime." Nev clapped hands and laughed.
"Imagine!!" Tania adds.
Philani knocks at Mandisa's door and finds drinking water and also watching a series on her laptop..
"Knock knock,is it safe for me to come in?" He said.
"Yes it is." She smiled and opens the chair opposite her.
She stands up to give him a hug and both take a seat afterwards.
"Unjani?" He asked
"Ngyaphila wena unjani?"She answered.
"I'm good. I just came to check up on my baby." He said.
