SPHIWO'S POV:
Time goes by and everyone one comes back home from work.The house is much warmer and fuller when everyone is home, Bafana was the first one to come back home out of all the siblings and still there's no communication between himself and I ,which is cool with me because I'd rather pretend like hes not around then acknowledge his presence.My mood has sort of lifted and I've met all the siblings and had conversations with them and they've made me feel very warm and welcome to their family.It's eight o'clock at night now and we're all seated around the dinner table eating dinner and chatting the night away while enjoying each others company, Bafana is seated next to me but still I pay him no attention and he seems to be doing the same thing.The meal was going smoothly until the doorbell chimed, interrupting the flow of conversation.
