Koketso
*** I made some hot tea for the both of us, us as in Goapele and I. She just wrote down the address to her place on my google maps and has never said a word. I wonder what is wrong with her, she was just okay earlier on. She was seated on the bed and staring at the ceiling. I placed the tray on the bed next to her so that she may drink tea. She looked at me and smiled before taking a mug. I joined her in bed and took a mug too. We drank the tea in silence and I decided not to ask but to let her talk when she wants to.***
Goa: Thank you
Me: It's a pleasure.
Goa: I also mean to thank you for fetching me and my car. You might have been busy and...
Me: I will always be there for you.
Goa: Thank you
Me: I am going to make you food
Goa: Thanks, but I am not hungry
Me: I wasn't asking you. I am going to make you food and you are going to eat
Goa: okay
***I took the tray with me and cooked some creamy chicken pasta. 45 minutes later I was done and I took another tray of plates to the bedroom. I found her crying. It broke my heart to see her like that.****
Goa: I'm so sorry
Me: It's okay. It will all be well
***I hope I am saying the right words because I genuinely do not know what is wrong. I climbed on the bed and placed the tray on the side table. I pulled her into a hug and just listened to her cries. She kept quiet after a while and asked for the food. I gave her a plate. She stood up and went out the room. I heard the microwave sound and figured that she was reheating the food. I went out the room and sat on a bar stool. She gave me my plate, and then heated her food. When the microwave was done she sat down and blessed the food. We ate in silence, then she opted to wash the dishes. I helped her pack them and then she drank water.****
Goa: Where is my car?
Me: parking. Why?
Goa: I was just asking
Me: are you going to work tomorrow?
Goa: No. I will have to alert the principal. Have you seen my phone?
Me: uhmm no, but I think it's on the bed
Goa: okay
****She went to the room and stayed a while in there. I ran her a bath using her things and called her to go bath. I sat on the couch and thought of all the possible reasons why she could be this hurt. ****
Goa: Thank you
****I looked at her and stood up. She was in her gown and I am pretty sure that she was naked. That is not the point. Koketso focus! ****
Me: I will leave now. Will you be okay alone
***She shook her head no. I sighed and kissed her forehead. I walked her to the room and opened the sheets for her. She got inside and I sat until she slept. I left her bedroom and slept on the couch****

Goapele
**** I woke up feeling drowsy. I looked at the time and it was 6am. I got off the bed and opened my curtains and windows. I wondered where Koketso was since he was here with me. I got out the room and saw him asleep on the couch. I went back to my room to make the bed and wash my face and brush my teeth. I wore comfortable clothes and went to the kitchen. I started on making us some breakfast. He woke up and looked at me from the living room. ***
