Tapestry Of Lives: A Multifaceted Journey

Chapter Thirty-one

Two days interval, Thandeka was reading in the sitting room, when suddenly the butler came in to inform her that someone was at the door to see her. 

"Who is it?" She sat up on the sofa. 

"He didn't care to mention his identity, Ms." The butler answered. 

She closed the book halfway with her fingers inside. "Okay, let him in." But as the butler turn to leave, she stopped him, "Wait, didn't he mention if he's from school or something?" 

The butler shook his head, "No, ma'am. He only said he wants to see Ms. Thandeka Dlamini. He brought nothing else other than a flower." 

Thandeka's brows scrunched together in confusion. "Flowers?" 

Who on earth is related to her that will get her flowers? 

Of course she has friends but they are not the too-sweet type or romantic one anyway. 

So, who is this anonymous person? 

She cut off with the thought and said, "Anyway, let him in." 

The butler nodded obediently and left.

Not up to five seconds, a young man dressed in plaid sleeves–whichnwas rolled up to his arm, paired with black pants, walked in. 

Unknowing to Thandeka that he was already standing in her presence –because, she was back facing him. She stood up, wearing her flipflops slippers–only to turn around and see– 

"Jesus Christ!" She lost her balance and almost fell on the sofa but he was so quick to hold her up–causing the both of them to crash on the sofa together. 

Silence and nothing but silence greeted the moment between them–as they kept staring into each other's eyes. 

He broke the silence between them after sometime that seems like forever. 

"You must be the generous woman that's behind the reason am alive today." His deep voice caused cool chills to run down her spine and backbone. 

She shivered a bit and he felt that–as his hand still held her right arm, making him see the goosebumps on her flesh. 

It's not as if Thandeka was too scared or scared to say a word but his handsomeness…..shut her mouth up. 

All she could do was stare into his eyes as if he was one of God's creations that was never r made known to her before now. 

The both of them kept staring into each others eyes and if one saw them, they'd think that these two would kiss each other in a very short moment soon. 

"Wow, Thandeka. You didn't tell me that your boyfriend would be coming over to have dinner with us." Zanele broke in, causing a distraction between the two. 

In an instant, she slightly pushed him away and stood up to make a defense but before she could say a thing, her elder brother Katlego who just walked in, absentminded about the whole situation, jumped into conclusion. "Deka," his eyes went from his sister to the guy. "We are very close and you never mentioned your boyfriend to me?" 

She wanted to stand up for herself, "Tlego, he is–" 

"Oh forget it, you don't have to start explaining now, sis. You know you have a bad habit giving long explanations." He chuckled as he made his way to give the young man an handshake. 

The both of them shook their hands like they've known each other for decades. 

"Katlego Dlamini. Thandeka's elder brother." He introduced himself, grinning from ear to ear.
