FEW WEEKS LATER
TIME: 09:34

Today is Wednesday and Njabulo is getting discharged after her hospital stay.

Dr:.."and she's required to consume these one's at night before bedtime". The doctor prescribed medication for Njabulo to take in the morning and at night before bedtime. "Please sign here" I sign Njabulo's discharge papers. "Thank you".

The doctor leaves and I head upstairs to Njabulo's room.

Njabulo: "FINALLY."

Me: "I swear I've never met anyone who hates hospitals like you do, you don't even want to stay here for a minute"

Her: "Nope"

Me: "I wasn't asking you"

Her: "ouch"

Mpiloenhle: "geez kea"

Me: "what?"

Mpiloenhle: "you say I'm mean but, you're the meanest". Okay fine, i am a bit mean. A bit? Maybe not a bit.

Me: "I know, let's get Njabulo ready to return back home". Njabulo changes her clothes and we go home

AT HOME

As Njabulo opened the door, a flurry of a colorful balloons, tied on the door handle suddenly popped, released a joyful cacophony. She couldn't help but smile, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Everyone: "SUPRISE"

The living room was transformed into a vibrant celebration zone. There was a giant "WELCOME HOME, NJABULO" banner stretched across the wall. The air was filled with the sweet scent of fresh flowers and the hum of love.

Njabulo's eyes widened as she took in the outpouring of affection. Cards and gifts overflowed from the coffee table, each one bearing a heart-felt message:

• "We missed you so much!"
• "Get well soon, champ!"
•"We love you!"

THE NEXT MORNING

It's 7:00am, Mpilo, Njabulo and i, we are still at my mom's house, but Mpilo is leaving because she's going back to work. About Njabulo, I don't know because she needs to stay at home a little longer, then after all that resting, she can go back to work, but she's Njabulo, what can I say. I'm also going back to my apartment today. I'm not working yet, so my parents are paying for my rent, I've applied for a job at the Nkosi company, but they still haven't replied yet. But I'm not depending on them, if they don't accept me, I'll apply somewhere else.

I wake up, I get out of my bed, I head to the bathroom, and pee and wipe myself and guess what, it's that time of the month.

Me: "why why why today?" I fake cry because sooner or later my period pains will be kicking in real bad.

I take my toiletries and take off all my clothes, i take a nice warm shower, after  taking that nice warm shower, I get out of the shower and dry myself, I put on some lotion and some skin cares and I start brushing my teeth I finish up and put my brush in my toiletrie bag.

I went to the bedroom and took out things needed for periods and took out my outfit. Since today I'm not going nowhere and I will be here all alone at home, I wear a blue bum short jean and a baggie pink shirt and some white slippers. I make my bed and open the curtains and make my way to the kitchen, I didn't know what to cook, so I nade myself some cereal, I ate while watching Netflix. I'm tired of watching Netflix alone.

After eating the period pain starts to murder me now, I take painkillers and drank them, the pains were still there, but they decided to calm down a bit, during that long nap I took, I heard a knock at the door, I wondered who might that be because I don't recall myself expecting a visitor, I walk towards the door barefoot and slightly open the door, I see my sister.

Me: "LEBOOO" I screamed out of excitement.
