*I'm back!

*****
*********

It's Saturday, yeah. Peaceful Saturday, I was so caught up in my book it made me forget everything. Again, Beastly, been long since I had touched this book, I almost forgot what I loved doing most, reading. Should have gone to church today but mom hadn't come back yet, she said she would be home at 12pm. All I did today was take a shower, EAT,and sit back on my made bed. Wait, I'm not focusing anymore, I dont even know what's going on in the book. Focus, focus, focus ohk no I cannont take it any longer. I close my book and place it neatly in between the rest of my books. Left it on page 186, I'm good with numbers, I don't believe in those flappy reading cards, waste of memory. I jump off the bed and make my way to the wooden floored small stage. I sit down at the edge grabbing my brand new boxed guitar. I have only admired this art but hadn't touched it. I remove it tenderly out of the box smiling at the great choice mom had. I neatly place it on my lap and try out a soft key to see if the strings hold tight. They did indeed and I play my favourite chorus to see it it really worked just fine
"But I can't help, falling in. Love with...But I can't help, falling..But,ARGH!!"
I know its been a long time but even my first ever taught song. I always started by the chorus to ease the cord's. One last try.
"I can't help, falling in love, with, with...but I can't help falling in love with you, Yes,"

"I'm back!,"

Mom crashes through the door and I jump up in fright. Thanks for the attempting heart attack mom...But I'm happy she is home, I missed her, she came a bit sooner than I expected. Again she is always full of shocking surprises. I grin widely and neatly place my guitar back to its comfort.

"Lizard, why did you stop?"

"Because I sounded terrible, I really missed you mama,"

"I missed you too sweepy, Oh you didn't sound terrible at all, your voice is a gift, you have the voice of an angel why not...,"

"No Mom, don't want to hear it, I do not like singing in publing so dont even try,"

I cut her off and she nods smiling at me. I smile back swinging my body back and forth from wear I was standing. She could stop smiling now, its becoming really creepy. She can stop no, mom stop smiling.

"Ohk mom spill it,"

"Fine, well, I got great news,"

"And they are?"

"You got a gift, from Bukhosi,"

My smile immediately turns into a frown. That is not something to be happy about. She just spoiled my moment of joy . Here I was making the best of this day, trying to forget everything and she brings him up. The one and only person that made me accept the decision to move overseas. The only human being I have an incorrigible urge to kill. One person that has a plan to take me over and rule me and dad's businesses not to mention his own dads business. Worst part is that I can see all this is happening yet even if I tell my dad instead he would probably say im creating trouble, he never listens. I'm already free from moving into Bukhosi's house because that's how much my dad admires the Zulu's, he would even give up his youngest daughter just for money and partnership. I do not want to create any feud, I'm safer now. Should be greatful I'm not anywhere near him, his capable of anything, i'm forced to wear a promise ring with our initials modified on it. Even though I always take it out when I got to school in front of mom I have to wear it or she will ask questions and send me to the first flight home just to apologise for not wearing. That is what happened to my older sister, her ring got lost and she was summoned for a family meeting. That cannot happen to me, I'm not ready to experience another family meeting.
