Kaboentle.
"What are you all doing here ?"
I ask as I stand up from the couch and I see the exotic dancers start to gather their clothes quietly and they start to shuffle out.
"We should be asking you that same question Kabo, is this what you do now ? Run around with half naked men and influence my fiance while at it ?"
Abuti Khumo scolds.
"Abuti it's not what it looks like, and Keletso is an adult who can do whatever she wants to do, right Keletso?"
I ask as I turn around and I look at Keletso and she hugging her arms around her body nervously and she shakes her head at me in disagreement.
"I had no idea that this would happen-"
She defends.
Is she really going to back stab us like this ? Doesn't she have a back bone ?
"Okay but what does it matter abuti, this is our trip our vacation our alone time."
"But it still doesn't make any of this Okay, you could get robbed or killed or even kidnapped and none of us would know, your vulnerable out here, alone."
Abuti Khumo defends.
"That's not an excuse...what are you all doing here ? and I want the real reason as to why you even came here, because it's not like you didn't know that we'd be here."
They all go quiet now, like they've grown ashamed as soon as those words come out of my mouth.
"We were worried about all of you, none of you were picking up your phones we thought you were in danger and the rehab center called Sanele and Nkululeko to let us know that they couldn't find Katlego, and we were also worried for Khwezi and the baby when you all went radio silent."
Siya explains as he steps foward with his cane almost as if walking is something that's so foreign to him and this makes me so angry because why the hell did he follow me here ?
I told him that I wouldn't see him this weekend and it was enough for him to pull himself out of freaking intensive care, fly two hours all the way here and for what ?because I don't see a reason why he needs to be here.
I cant believe him.
"We switched our phones off and put them away, just so we can fully enjoy this break.
And That wasn't my question Siya... what are you all doing here ?"
I ask as I look at all of them and they stay quiet some of them clenching their jaws.
"Cats got your tongue ?"
I ask and i smile as a small chuckle escapes from my lips.
Siya steps forward towards me now and I step away from him.
They can't ask about the strippers because they know that they were not supposed to be here they weren't supposed to have seen any of this had they stayed back home and respected what we had asked.
The security guards shuffle into the house with their hands at the side of their gowns atleast seven of them and they stop once they see who these people are and Jacob the head of security looks at me as he tucks away his gun.
"We saw the exotic dancers leave in a hurry and we got alarmed, we just wanted to make sure that everything's okay."
He says and I give him a little nod.
"Thanks Jacob, we're good."
I tell him and he gives me a little nod before leaving with his man and I see Siya sigh.
"We just wanted to know that you were all safe."
"No, you just can't stand not being in control of us don't you ? You can't stand not knowing what's happening with our lives..."
"That's not true Kabo..."-Khumo.
