When You're Bound To Love

Chapter 181

SPHO**

Komander was sitting in my couch elbows on knees, fists under chin position. A sign of complete stress. Me: "Lakhe will bombard this door any second. You have to leave." Kom: "It's been months. Lakhe has healed from me, you've prayed for him, revived him. I can't affect him anymore." Me: "I know that but he will still see you as his father. He's going to be angry. I don't have the energy to deal with all that right now." Kom: "Where's Graham?" Me: "He said he had to run an errand quick." Kom: "Sibulele?" Me: "He left. He went to Johannesburg to look for Sandile." Kom: "Spho. He let him loose." Me: "Who's he and him?" Kom: "He is your son, the Unborn. Him is your grandfather." Me: "How is that possible? I didn't even go near there!!" Kom: "He sent someone. Was there a man you had to put down? Rescuing an abused woman or such?" Me: "Kirsten's husband?" Kom: "Yeah. He poured himself in that man. He does whatever he commands. Your child is already building a powerful army before he arrives." I sat down. Kom: "Sibulele isn't on good terms with me. He refuses to speak to me more than necessary. For us to find Sandile, I need to speak to one of them regularly and give them direction on where to look." Me: "You are going nowhere near Lukhanyo and Masilakhe. Do you understand me? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!" He sighed and walked out. Komander must think I'm dumb. Where did Graham go again? He rushed out of here before Kadir arrived. Within a minute Lakhe stormed into the front door. Lakhe: "WHERE." He was breathing fire. Not good. Me: "Hey. Masilakhe?" Lakhe: "No Spho!!" Me: "Listen to me." Lakhe: "Where is he?" Me: "I don't know yet. Masilakhe, I need you calm. Please? Where are the kids?" He paced the floor. Lakhe: "With my parents." Me: "Okay. How's Lam doing? Is he fine?" Lakhe: "He's okay. Obsessed with SpongeBob though." Me: "Alright. You? How's things?" Lakhe: "My brother is missing. And you want to analyze me?" Me: "I'm just having a conversation." Lakhe: "I need to find him. They can't. He can't. Not to my brother Spho. If I have to be the demon of the family then so be it. But not Sandile. He's a child!" Me: "He's a grown man. But yes, I get you." Lakhe: "I feel like you're hiding something from me. Why are you trying to get me calm?" Me: "No reason." Lakhe: "Tell me." Me: "When I took Kirsten, I left her husband there. The Unborn poured himself into him and now Kirsten's husband is his.... zombie. He let Rex loose." Lakhe blinked. Frozen on the spot. Me: "Say something." Lakhe: "Rex. Is. Free?" Me: "Yes." Lakhe: "Jesus Spho!!! You're coming with me, I don't care! Let's go!" Me: "No! I'm not going anywhere with yo-" Lakhe: "He kidnapped you once! He WILL do it again!" Me: "He didn't kidnap me. Komander took me to him then he held me hostage because he wanted to get me pregnant. I serve no purpose to him now." Lakhe: "Except the fact that you're carrying a Full Dark King? The one he wants? The most powerful being in this bloodline?" Me: "I can handle Rex. He can't come near me anyway, if he could, he would. Graham will be here the whole time with Niny to protect me." Graham walked in the house. Lakhe: "If anything happens to her while I'm gone, I'm burning you and your entire congregation alive." Me: "Masilakhe!" Lakhe: "He needs to know Spho. I'm going to Johannesburg to fix this shit." Me: "Uhm..." Lakhe: "What is it now!" Me: "Nothing. Just be careful. Remember to breath. No anger." He walked out. Graham: "You didn't tell him Lukhanyo is going there too?" Me: "Yeah that wouldn't have kept him calm at all. Besides, Lakhe doesn't do well with surprises. He just keeps quiet when he's caught off guard." ...

Sunday Night. Johannesburg.

Sandile woke up in a brightly lit room. Two people stood in front of him. Sands: "What the hell? Where am I?" The man who kidnapped him walked away. The one who remained, stared at him then his face shaped and changed into Komander. Sands: "Oh my fuck. It's you again? Komplexion, what do you want from me?" Rex: "The book. Where is it?" Sandile gave it some thought. If Kadir gave him the book, then he wouldn't be asking for it back. This wasn't Kadir. Sands: "What book?" Rex: "You're a bad liar. Bad bad liar. You know exactly what I'm talking about and yes, this isn't Kadir." Sands: "You're supposed to be dead. Or in some portal, trapped forever." Rex: "Lucky for me, I have a great grandson who is about to be King upon his birth." Sands: "The Unborn let you free?" Rex: "Yes, he did. Now I want my book." Sands: "I don't have it." Rex: "I know you do. Where did you put it?" Sands: "I don't have it." Rex: "Wow. So we're gonna have to do this? And here I was, trying to play nice. Oh well." He turned into large snake. Sands: "That's the best you can do? I like snakes by the way." Rex: "Snakes you can control. Goodnight Sandile." The lights went off. Sandile laughed. Sands: "Goodnight great grandfather." ...
