IF ONLY.....

CHAPTER 11

" ma tell me they are about to move me somewhere else please"

Vuyiswa swallows hard and she looks down.

" Ma?"

" I'm sorry Mazwi, i tried baby but they all dismissed me"

She says with a low voice.

"what? no no no. I told you I'm not safe in that cell Ma, how can you disappoint me like this"

"Mazwi I tried"

"YOU DIDN'T TRY ENOUGH OK. YOU DIDN'T TRY ENOUGH AND WHAT ABOUT DAD, CAN'T HE TALK TO SOMEONE SO I GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT CELL!"

He says shouting.

"hey!!"

He warns him and Mazwi clicks his tongue.

"look your father also tried to call his contacts but they couldn't help him, apparently they can't betray Cole"

"what?"

" that bastard has more influence than I anticipated, no one wants to help us"

Mazwi rubs his head roughly.

" they gonna kill me ma, if not they gonna force themselves on me tonight. Please do something I swear I won't survive it if I get raped please ma"

Vuyiswa swallows hard looking at his son desperately begging her.

"I don't know what to do again Mazwi, I tried everything, even your father tried everything but it's like Cole told everyone not to help us. I even sent a complaint to the station commander and I'm still waiting for his reply but we both know I won't get an answer from him today"

Mazwi just put his head on top of the table and he sobs.

"why does Cole hate me so much. What did I do to him huh, what?"

Vuyiswa wipes her tears off with the back of her hand.

" I can't believe Cole would do this to me. I can't believe he would let my only son go to jail because of that bitch"

"so this is about Marang, they are really fucking?

He asks raising his head and Vuyiswa nods with a nasty look on her face.

"he's even living with her"

"what?"

She nods and clicks her tongue.

"why would Marang do this to me, my own fucken uncle!

"and she had the nerve to report you just because you had some rough sex with her, rubbish!"

"so that day he came with his friend and he dragged me away like that, he was... he was the one that fucked her"

"I swear that girl is a witch. I'm sure she bewitched Qophelo, she bewitched him that witch. He can't turn on his family just like that"

Mazwi doesn't say anything for a bit.

"nah Marang is not like that. Im sure Cole knew I was dating her and he wanted her for himself"

" I don't agree. Qophelo would never go for a thing like her, he likes classy women not boring and plain stupid girls, like I said that girl fed him love potion"

"not Marang ma, I know her"

" did you ever think she'll get you arrested or even sleep with your uncle"

Mazwi keeps quiet.

" that girl is dangerous my son and I fear for Cole cause I'm sure he doesn't even know who he's sleeping with"
