JOYS OF LIFE -2 [NOT EDITED]

SWELIHLE MAJOLA

Bhuti took us to the mall for some shopping and a movie right after. A few minutes after the movie ended, a very beautiful lady joined us and bhuti introduced her as our sister in law. So far she hasn't rubbed us the wrong way. Junior as usual is being a loud mouth while Xoli and I are a bit reserved.

Junior: "I'm okay now though, I'm over everything."

Ntokozo: "That is good and you were very lucky to have your family support through that whole difficult time hey?"

Junior: "Yeah."

Fana: "Okay guys, I should take you back home now so I can also drive my woman home."

Junior: "But bhuti, we are still enjoying our skwiza's company."

Bhuti: "You will see her some other time." he says already grabbing his woman's handbag.

Junior: "The trolley?!"

Bhuti: "I took y'all shopping, now I must carry your shopping futhi?!"

Me: "Bhuti, please leave me behind. I am meeting a friend." I want to see my mans bakithi. He flew all the way from Northern Cape to Gauteng for me! His parents live in the Northern Cape by the way.

Bhuti: "Hhayi, why?!"

Me: "Bhuti please?!"

Bhuti: "If so then we will wait until your friend gets here Swelihle. I need to know who is that friend so we know where to look incase you don't come home." I lightly stomp my foot in anger because why does he have to be a SQUARE!?!!!

Me: "Bhuti, trust me please."

Bhuti: "weSwelihle, if ufuna ukuyojola, hamba kodwa ungaphiki ngami." he says then proceeds to take his girlfriend's hand and they follow Junior and Xoli. I dial mom's phone and she doesn't answer. Now I have no choice but to follow everyone to the car.

Bhuti: "You will break that door and then you will deal with dad, i'm telling you." he says and then drives off.  Just as we get closer to home, we pass a small car and I notice that the people inside the car are the three that disrupted our breakfast. What is weird is that the men are now in casual clothes and the old lady looks absolutely fine.

Me: "Did y'all see that?!"

Bhuti: "See what?!"

Me: "Never mind." As soon as the car gets parked, I get my shopping bags and rush to my room. I text my mans that I will make a plan to see him later on then I rush to the parents bedroom. I knock and mom answers the door in her gown.

Mom: "Babygirl?"

Me: "I need to talk to you." I say walking in.

Mom: "Can't it wait? I was about to take a bath." I shrug and follow her to the bathroom. I settle on the floor next to the bathtub just so I can see her.

Me: "So...."

Mom: "Yeah?"

Me: "Wait, where is dad?"

Mom: "He went out with Lwande, they are trying to find Melody."  I almost roll my eyes, honestly she bores me that one.

Me: "Oh? Anyways, Devone flew in this morning because he asked to see me and also apologise to dad."

Mom: "Oh?"

Me: "Mah."

Mom: "Wait, he flew in just to see you?!"

Me: "yes and he also wants to apologise to dad."

Mom: "I know that's a lie! Anyway I don't think now is really a good time for him to see your dad, with everything that is going on? He can't baby."

Me: "Oh? Can I go see him though?" I ask.

Mom: "yes but not today." Junior and Xoli walk in, they both sit next to me. Mom just shakes her head.

Mom: "So y'all will rather watch me bath just because y'all can't wait?!"

Xoli: "Yes!"

Junior: "You just missed bhuti's girlfriend mama."

Xoli: "Oh yeah, she joined us at the mall. She is very beautiful, yoh!"

Mom: "Where is your brother now?"

Me: "He left with her."

Mom: "We will invite her over for dinner some other time ke."

Junior: "Yeah, she's nice. I liked her."

Mom: "Anyways, Xoli. With everything going on, your father forgot to mention that he was able to pay for your damages so now all we have to do is a welcome ceremony for you and then uMhlonyane."

Xoli: "Thank you! Thank you!" she says excitedly and hugs anyway.
