The Life I never imagined (Complete)

Chapter 15

First time in South Africa. I won't lie it's a beautiful place to be in, so chaotic, so noisy and just an amazing atmosphere to be in. it was very much different from what I'm used to but I aint complaining. We were driving in this beautiful neighbourhood with double stories and triple stories. It was a beautiful place no doubt even changed that mentality of SA being nothing but a forest and people wearing animal skin and stuff. Toby parked in front of this beautiful huge mansion, I thought his house was huge but this place takes the cake. We did struggle to get in because of the press outside their yard but eventually we got in, the press has no shame! They just lost the head of the family and the stupid press is ouchea making this a show. We got out of the car and I was wearing a long black dress, Mia said to wear such because it's a sign of respect and she told me not to show a lot of skin so I was wearing a cardigan over my dress and flat sandals, the funeral was tomorrow and Mia was arriving tonight(Saturday). We walked in and it was chaotic like a house that was going to have funeral tomorrow. We bumped into Miso's mum.

Her: Tobias, Buttercup

She hugged Toby and then moved on to welcome me with a hug. Even with the events she still managed to smile. She had a doek covering her head and she was wearing a long skirt and even with that she looked beautiful.

Her: how are you? Can I get you guys anything?

Me: We good Mah and how are you?

Her: we hanging in there. Uhhm Miso is out with his father and brother's buying a few things for tomorrow so you'll probably see him later. Let me get these to someone and then I'll take you to mom

She handed the plates to one of the people working around and then she took us to the lounge and Mrs Bess snr was sitting on a mattress wearing all black. We greeted and then Toby left me with her.

Me: Ma

Her: it's so good to see you babe

Me: how are you holding up?

Her: better than the last few days. I guess I made peace with it when I watched him go in and out of hospital. I'm just grateful that he's not in pain anymore

Me: oh Mah I'm so sorry. I only found out Thursday

Her: its ok baby. You here and it's so nice to finally meet you even under these circumstances

Me: it's good to meet you too

Her: Miso will be so happy to see you, at least having you here will lift him up a little. He's taking this harder than the rest of his siblings

Me: mmmh I hear you Mah

Her: anyway you can go and be with people your age

I chuckled, there weren't many people my age around here

Me: we both know there aren't people my age around here. I'll go help Yaya instead, will you be fine?

Her: I'll be fine the day I'm able to get off of this mattress

I chuckled

Me: still can't sit and do nothing huh

She chuckled and then the chuckle turned into tears which she quickly wiped. I didn't know what to say or do at this very moment.

Me: Boobie

Her: I will be fine child. Go help Yaya she needs help

I nodded and kissed her cheek and walked out to the lounge. Yaya told me that this was Amahle and Damon's house. It was a beautiful house. She introduced me around to her friends, Anita, Ledi and her sisters in law Asemahle and Iyana.
