65.) Dead.

Nkosikhona's POV

I get back to my apartment and go straight upstairs to my room. I take a quick shower and wear sweatpants and a t-shirt. I go downstairs to make myself something to eat. I make burger and chips with green salad. I plate up for myself and walk to the living room and sit down and start eating.

I switch on the television and look for an action movie on box office and rent it. The conversation I had with Ona about God is constantly playing in my head. I'm hardly paying attention to the movie. My mom hardly took us to church, we would go once in a while and I stopped going completely when I turned 17.

I never liked church I would fall asleep during the service or when they started praying because damn those people prayed for hours on end. I also never listened to what they were saying because I was half interested that's why I wanted her to explain the whole thing from the beginning.

I could see the excitement on her face when she started talking about God. For as long as I have known her she's always had this glow that I don't understand or is it the holy spirit glow or whatever they call it but now the glow is much more brighter. I finish eating and wash the dishes.

I switch off the lights and make sure the door is locked and the security system is activated. I go upstairs to my room and plop myself on the bed. I take my phone and download the bible app. I open it and scroll to see what's there and I see the daily devotional. The verse of the day is Psalms 51:10.

Psalms 51:10 NLT
[10] Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.

It's all about David and how he had sinned by having an affair with Bathsheba and arranged to kill the husband to keep the secret. Kanti people in the bible were this wild. He saw what he did was wrong and instead of cowering away from his sin and suffer in guilt he turned to God.

This Psalm is about David asking for forgiveness and asking God to purify his heart. No matter what you have done God can still forgive you because of His unfailing love that He has for you. If you are ready to repent and change you can turn to God. He won't shut the door and neither will He condemn you.

I finish the devotional and sigh. "So you can really forgive a sinner like me? Even though I've killed over one hundred people and I don't feel guilty for doing such you can still forgive me. This isn't what I expected. I thought there was no grace for sinners like me. I guess I should say thank you for sending Ona my way. I really love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her. She means so much to me. If I give you a chance I hope you are worth it and I don't regret it."

I check for any messages and find one from Zobuhle asking me how it went.
