Chapter 143

Khaya looked at Masilakhe and smiled. Khaya: "No." He stated. Lakhe: "Why?" Khaya: "See, the thing that people don't understand is being a demon is addictive. You miss the power, the thrill, the strength. Once it leaves you, you want it back. It's part of moving on. Look, nobody can find Komander. Not even I. Not until he talks to me. He's gone Lakhe. Why do you want him anyway?" He sat down and took Lakhe's hands, starting to unbandage them. Lakhe: "We ended on a bad note. We have unfinished business. I just need to see him." Khaya: "Resist it." Lakhe: "How? I feel sick." Khaya: "Pray. Work. Just resist your thoughts. Stay away from your original life. Evil acts will make it easier for the demon to find you. Lakhe, we are lucky Spho didn't wipe us all out. Can we just not take it for granted?" He stretched out the hand. Khaya: "How is it" Lakhe: "It's fine." Khaya: "You touched Lam?" Lakhe: "Yes." Khaya: "Makes sense. You barely have scars." Lakhe: "So uhm... how are you?" Khaya: "Holding it together I suppose. Kadir was the only thing I had left. I have no wife. Spho despises me. He was the only one now he's gone." Lakhe: "He exists somewhere." Khaya: "Yeah but not with me." He took the other hand. Lakhe: "Spho is... pregnant." Khaya looked up at him. Khaya: "What?" Lakhe: "Just found out." Khaya: "But... that would mean... you were full dark." Lakhe: "Does that even mean anything?" Khaya: "It does. Look at Kadir. His father was full dark, his mother was pure and look how he turned out. Spho is a pure Queen. This child will be dangerous to the entire world, not even she can stop it." Lakhe: "So you want her to have an abortion?" Khaya: "If you want to raise Satan, do you." Lakhe: "Spho is determined to keep it. She won't have an abortion." Khaya: "Obviously not. She's pure. She's not allowed to, but you can-" Lakhe: "I'm not murdering my child. Forget it." Khaya: "I'm not saying murder him. Just make him stop growing. Lam will be in danger Masilakhe. This baby will kill him. Do you want your son to murder the other?" Lakhe: "We'll consult a prophet or whatever it takes but I'm not killing my child Tata. That's out of the question." Khaya: "Fine. Go to that Pastor Graham. He'll be able to help you. How's this hand?" Lakhe: "Great. I can finally touch things." Khaya: "Easy.. don't take on too much." Lakhe: "I won't. Thank you. I wouldn't have known my own son could heal my wounds like this." Khaya: "You're welcome. How are they?" Lakhe: "They could be better. We're all just trying to survive this part of our lives." Khaya: "And your father?" Lakhe: "He's awake. Recovering. Although we don't know who stole his company." Khaya: "Wasn't it bought?" Lakhe: "Then why are they hiding their identity? Damn cowards." Khaya: "Maybe because they know you and what you'd do. You would threaten them into giving it back." Lakhe: "My father worked his whole life for that company!" Khaya: "I know. It's sad." Lakhe: "Whoever did this planned it very well. The moment my family was having problems, they decide to strike. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same person that aired all our laundry in the papers." Khaya: "As long as Rob is alive." Lakhe: "He's broken. Everything he's ever worked for, has just been swiped off. I couldn't even buy it." Khaya: "But he has YOU and the rest of his family. You make enough money for all of you." Lakhe: "I need to find Sibulele. He can trace whoever this is." Khaya: "You're really stubborn. Let me get going." Lakhe: "Why? You're just going to be alone anyway. Why don't you stay here for a while?" Khaya: "I prefer being alone. Sometimes I just....lose it." Lakhe: "You're welcome here any time you want." Khaya: "Thank you Lakhe. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself." Lakhe: "Yeah. And you didn't even like me much a month ago." Khaya: "You're not my favorite as a demon. I don't think there's anyone I like as a demon. Well... except him." Lakhe: "Promise me something." Khaya: "What?" Lakhe: "If he comes back, you'll tell me." Khaya: "Why do you want Komander so bad-" Lakhe: "I've been having dreams about him! Really scary dreams. Sometimes I feel like, my whole body is on fire and I can't wake up then he pulls me up. It's only yesterday, I slept freely." Khaya: "That is because that house you slept in is secured by prayer. This place is riddled with evil." Lakhe: "Please just let me know." Khaya: "Fine. I'll let you know. I'll check on you later." He walked out as Dumi came in, his wheelchair now automatic but a young man followed behind him. Lakhe: "Who the fuck is this?" Dumi: "Since you don't want Zingi around, I had to hire an assistant to drive me and help me." Lakhe: "Okay. What are you doing here. We don't have an appointment." Dumi: "My clients are dropping out and investors have also drawn back from my firm." Lakhe: "Because of your dirt?" Dumi: "It was a way of survival-" Lakhe: "It was stupid. Look how much of a fool you look like because of a stupid wife who couldn't keep her mouth shut. Zingisa has done nothing but cost you." Dumi: "She is the mother of my children." Lakhe: "Then you have poor choice. She was a stripper. Her first suggestion for you to get business was to sell her ass. If she was truly a woman that loved you she would have found a way to help you network and make money instead of sleeping with other men at your command. What woman does that? Oh wait, one that can fuck your friends and fall in love with them. How's Sandile?" Dumi: "Don't.." Lakhe: "What are you gonna do? Drop your only remaining client and investor to go back to sucking dick with your wife? Some old men have weird fantasies like fucking a cripple. That's where you wanna go?" Dumi: "You're supposed to be my friend." Lakhe: "I don't have friends. You chose me instead of a woman that has been your good friend for years. That's how weak you are. The minute you and your little whore went to the newspapers, you lost me. You're an employee now. And let me assure you, the secrets of mine you keep are your kids life insurance." Dumi: "I didn't know she would do this!! I never knew!!" Lakhe: "You live in the same house and can't control your woman? That's pathetic. Leave my house. I'll call when I need you." Dumisani turned his chair and strolled out....
