CHAPTER 4

AT  ZAKHELE AND COLE'S HOME

" you called for me Lindiwe "

He says to his mother getting comfortable on the comfy couch.

"your brother here and his wife tell me you want to help that girl "

Cole chuckles shaking his head.

" this is no laughing matter Cole, Mazwi is your blood, your nephew for Gods sake! "

" so? "

He says with a frown on his face.

"so? you are saying so Cole"

"yeah"

"you are evil, you want to send my only son to jail you are evil"

Cole laughs.

"man please don't do this"

"wow...wow Zakhele. You talk as if you don't have kids"

Zakhele swallows hard and he looks down with his jaws clenched cause he knows  what he really meant by that.

"and you don't have any so that's why you want to send his only son to jail right?"

Cole clenches his jaws and he looks at Vuyiswa who looks down ashamed.

" yes I don't have kids cause  this bitch killed my baby"

"Cole! Don't call my wife names! "

"or what huh or what? "

"stop it you two and Cole she didn't want to carry your seed now get over it! "

Cole laughs bitterly and he gets up.

"where do you think you are going, sit down I'm still talking to you!"

"I'm not your puppet Lindiwe, you don't say jump and I ask how high like Zakhele does so don't use that tone with me and don't ever order me around like that!"

He says with an angry and intimidating voice and they all kept quiet.

"now listen here, I know you hid that useless boy but its all good cause I know I'll find him one of these days and secondly you all should be ashamed of yourselves for supporting a rapist while you Zakhele have daughters "

Zakhele's eyes pop out and Vuyiswa frowns looking at Cole and their mother frowns too looking at Cole.

"what do you mean daughters?"

"now don't ever involve me with anything that has to do with that rapist of yours"

He says ignoring his mother's question and he walks to the door.

" Qophelo!( Cole's other name)"

He ignores her and he walks out and Vuyiswa turns to look at Zakhele who has his jaws clenched.

"he said your daughters "

"yeah so?"

"so Zakhele? "

"yeah, look here I have a meeting I need to get to so excuse me "

He gets up and Vuyiswa also gets up and she grabs his arm.

"do you have a child out of this marriage Zakhele?"

She asks him with an angry tone and Zakhele gets off her grip.

"don't ever use that tone with me  you hear me"

Vuyiswa laughs bitterly.

"Zakhele what is Qophelo talking about? you only have one son and one daughter so which other daughters is he talking about "

"excuse me I have to go "

He walks to the door and Vuyiswa goes after him.

"Zakhele don't walk away when we are talking to you! "
