I'm woke up because I heard a little soft snore, I turned and looked. It's Kea, I smile and chuckle, I try to grab a glass so that I can pour myself some water but I can't quiet reach it, I finally had a grip on it, but it slipped out of my hand and scattered all over the floor causing her to wake up

Me: oopies

KEAMOGETSE'S POV

I woke up, and njabulo was already looking at me

Me: hey you!
Her: goodmorning

I look at the floor and glass is all over it, I look back at her.

Me: do you need water?
Her: yes please!

I stand up from the chair, and grab another glass and fill it up with water, I help her sit up straight and she drinks the water.

Her: Thank you
Me: you're welcome

I take the glass and place it somewhere, and I start cleaning up the glasses on the floor and threw them away in the trash-can, I washed my hands and went back to her.

Me: so how are you feeling
Her: I feel much better
Me: glad to hear that from you
Her: so...

She started talking non-stop, but I missed this njabulo, not the njabulo that was in the hospital bed, not the one who got me thinking about her leaving me and mpilo.

She can talk yho. But right now she's better, sometimes she's just too much, she can literally tell me 10 things in 7seconds and not give me a chance to reply.

TIME: 9: 21AM

We video called Mpiloenhle and my mom, the call ended 6minutes ago.

Me: alright well babes, it was nice hearing you talk again, I missed that

Me: okay...I gotta go
Her: Manje? (Now?)
Me: yes manje (yes now)
Her: but why?
Me: haa.a Njabulo, I have to return Mpiloenhle's car.
Her: yho that one, she'll probably brag about how it's time for you to buy your own car.
Me: you know mos.
Her: she's a meanie
Me: (signs) hey, I'll see you, when I come back, yho, I'm hungry
Her: please bring me some takeaways
Me: no, you know we're not supposed to bring outside foods to the hospital.
Her: but I'm tired of eating salad.
Me: well...this is a hospital, so there's nothing I can do about it.
Her: please bring me some McDonald's please
Me: no
Her: please
Me: Nope
Her: yho!
Me: alright babes, I'll see you okay
Her: hey, bye bye (she's annoyed)

I check if the car has enough fuel for the journey, well...there's enough fuel for the journey, but obviously Mpilo is gonna tell me about how I finish her petrol. Yho

I drive back home.
