"Family is not necessary blood it is made by the people that care for you, that love you for you"

Samantha was happy when she was dropped off at the new place, she had bought just that day, getting off from Rita for Vicky was easy since it was the company that helped her procure the house in the first place since Samantha has no credit to her name but, who knew that she needed it even if she was buying a house fully.

Samantha also remembered that she had cleaned the flat which should've given Vicky a heart attack, but she would deal with it when she got home since her sister would no longer be working night shift for the rest of the year, which meant that they could talk.

Standing in front of the automatic gate, Samantha was reminded of how she got here and no matter how many times she was beaten down she kept persevering and it worked and now with Vicky's help her free-lance job turned into a four hour weekend job which gave her enough time to not only play with her friends and guild but also spend time in comms with Matthew and his friends who somehow also became hers.

The house itself that Samantha had bought and searched for was everything she was looking for, it Is what you call a holding or for the technical term a small farm in the middle of town, the yard was large so large in fact that Samantha could have a garden with a small gazebo, a medium swimming pool and a jungle gym large enough that it could house every kind of climbing, swinging, sliding, and pulling just for the kids while there was still place for the four bedroom house and the three bedroom apartment with the double garage in-between the two.

The place she bought was way under the market value and that was because firstly it was in the middle of white river and the CBD district that made Nelspruit a whole and secondly it was surrounded by bush, miles and miles of bush that thrived with homeless, drug addicts and thieves that even the broker warned Samantha against buying the property but she had a plan once the deal went through.

It was around the time that her and Matthew had the argument when she received the deed, normally it would take months but the owners wanted to rid themselves of it as soon as possible which is why it took a day that and all the documents was already taken care of and only the transfer papers needed to be signed and registered with the housing department, that once she signed she asked the previous owners if it was possible to make changes now already while the process was going through and they gave their consent.

In the two days, walls was erected around the property, the solar panels went up and connected inspections was done and signed the two trenches dug one filled as the foundation for the gazebo and the other for the pool that was waist deep and in the shape of a wonky cloud, lastly the poles placed for the jungle gym that was going up as well and thanks to it being Nelspruit and it being hot everything was going according to plan.

Samantha also called Vicky's parent's and got Vicky's mother to go shopping with her to Makro, because where Samantha wanted the top-of-the-line appliances, she knew nothing of what a house truly needed besides the basics it was also where she learned that beds have a different level of comfort.

So shopping was an experience that Samantha never wanted to experience again, firstly there were too many people kind of like her social sites having short stories of what happens in a Walmart stays in a Walmart so it should be shown on the internet, Makro was packed, kids throwing fits in the toy isles as their parent or parents dragged them out or left them there, how the men drooled over the newest television, how Karens believed they own the world, everything was chaos with trolleys zooming everyway and people constantly bumping into her that even Vicky's mother had enough and grabbed Samantha making her jump and then flinch as she was dragged to management where another Karen was screaming on top of her lungs.
