My Mr Bogatsu

Twenty five- Mommy issues, Polygamy and a mad girlfriend

Goapele

****My buzzing phone kept ringing. I opened my eyes and attended to it. It was my mother calling. What does she want ?***

Me: Hello

Mma: Goapele chelete yela yaka e kae yona? (Where's my money)

Me: Ga ke go kolote selo nna (I don't owe you anything)

Mma: Listen here girly, The roof is falling apart and it needs to be fized

Me: Go ask someone else for the money

Mma: Your brother already sends enough money, I cannot bother him. You haven't sent anything in the past six months and I have been quiet. I want that money

Me: No

Mma: What did you just say to me?

Me: I said no

Mma: I wish you die in hell You are a piece of shit. I wonder why I didn't abort you or better yet, why didn't you just die along with your father

***That hurt me. I kept quiet and listened to her insults***

Mma: You don't know childbirth pain wena. You know nothing about that! I want that money as soon as possible. If not, I'm going to come all the way to your pretty little apartment and make you pay me

Me: Ke tla swarisa (I'll get you arrested)

Mma: Try me. Also, another thing, I don't want you anywhere near Atli. She is my child, not yours. That child has a bright future, the more time she spends with you, it vanishes into thin air. 

Me: Ohh she's your child now?

Mma: I birthed her, infact I birthed all of you

Me: Stay away from Atlegang. That money is hers, not yours

Mma: You are cursed! You will regret this Goapele

***I cut the call. I wonder why it took me so long. I heard a knock on my door and I sulked. Who could it be at 5:30 am in the morning? I wore my gown and unlocked the front door. I opened the door and rolled my eyes.***

Me: Lethabo it's five thirty, what do you want?

Lethabo: Can we talk?

Me: What do you want here?

Lethabo: I want us to talk about what you saw

Me: You mean you and your side chick that happens to be my bestfriend?

Lethabo: Yes. 

***I sat down on the couch and he sat too. He sighed loudly and I just looked at him****

Me: I don't have all day. I have to go to work

Lethabo: I love her

Me: huh?

Lethabo: It all happened so quick. When I saw her, it was love at first sight. I think about her everyday and dream about her. I sent her a text on Instagram and we started talking. The chat moved to Whatsapp and then we started calling each other and spending more time. She even joined me at gym and everything was good. Every time I have sex with Olwethu, Buhle is the person on my mind. I really love your friend 

Me: What about your wife?

Lethabo: Olwethu and I are married, I am not happy in that marriage. She doesn't have the same qualities as Buhle

Me: Then why did you get married if you were not ready?

Lethabo: I settled for Olwethu. She's a nice girl from church and I liked her, so I thought I could build something with her, but honestly, Buhle is my soulmate
