AT RAY AND MBALI’S HOUSE
Mbali: are you sure?
Celine: yeah im sure
***she just given them the location to Ray’s daughter then Ray called Mateo and told him to search for the couple and the address Celine gave them***
Mbali: what’s her name....what did her birth mother name her
Celine: Ca... Cataleya
Mbali: mmmh beautiful name don’t you think babe
***Ray swallowed hard....he was worried but more over scared cause he didn’t know how Mbali really felt about him having a child out there***
Ray: yeah
Ruslan: beautiful name indeed but I want to know what do they call her now?
Celine: Pa...Paulina
Mbali: Paulina?....the nerve!....imagine Ruu, from Cataleya to Paulina mxm bayahlanya ( they are crazy)
***she shook her head then she looked at Ray***
Mbali: so what should we do with this bitch babe?
***she asked Ray**
Ray: I’ll take it from here my flower
Mbali: ok but make sure you don’t ..... waste her life as yet, if you know what I mean
***Ray looked at her with a raised eyebrow***
Ruslan: waste her life?
Mbali: I meant don’t kill her as yet
Ruslan: I know what you meant his flower, im just shocked you said those words yourself
Ray: Mbali I don’t want you talking about shit like that more over to even think about it ok!
***she breathed out***
Mbali: ya’ll forget who my father, grandfather and brothers are neh
Ray: it doesn’t matter, the fact is now you’re my wife and I don’t want you involved in all this shit
***she sighed***
Mbali: fine....but wait until you find your baby before you “deal” with her cause this bitch might be lying about her whereabouts
***Ray sighed***
Ray: I know that, now can you got back to being my innocent wife...please
***she smiled then out of the blue she punched Celine hard on her face and Ruslan gasped...she threw more punches on Celine until Ray pulled her away from her***
Ray: will you stop!
Mbali: let go of me im not done with this bitch.... I need to teach her a lesson to never try and breakup people’s marriages!
Ray: calm the fuck down!
***she gave Celine a deadly stare then she raised her hands in surrender***
Mbali: fine im calm!
Ray: you sure?
Mbali: yeah
***he let her go and she fixed herself and she looked at Ruu who had an amused look on his face then she looked at Ray***
Mbali: I guess you boys will take it from here
***then she walked away***
Mbali: Saint is time for you to go back to sleep baby
Saint: yes mommy
***then the smoke disappeared right as Mbali was walking up the stairs and light came in as the smoke on the windows vanished and Ruslan chuckled***
Ruu: damn Mrs La Parca is in the building
***he said with a Mexican accent then he laughed, as for Ray he shook his head and he took out his phone and made a call***
Mat: jefe
Ray: send some boys to my house, I have three packages they need to take to the warehouse for safe keeping
Mat: got it
Ray: and Mat
Mat: jefe
Ray: keep tabs on Celine’s syndicate crew since we have her, I don’t want any nasty surprises
Mat: ok and the couples names and address checks out
Ray: good we will talk later
***they ended the call***
Celine: you... are... all dead...my people will find me and....
***Ray punched her so hard that she passed out instantly ***
Ray: she fucken talks too much
Ruu: before you do anything I need to say this.....you need to talk to your wife about your plans concerning the baby issue meaning involve her in all your decisions man
***Ray sighed***
Ruu: that baby will need to grow up in a loving family Ray and she can get that if Mbali is on board.... ask for her opinion on this matter and make sure you don’t assume that she’s ready, make sure she’s ready for real to mother her before you go look for her
Ray: I hear you man
Ruu: good....i need a drink
***he walked away***
----------
***The following day Phumi decided to go back home since Kazi was still ignoring her, she was hurt that Kazi was acting this way towards her.....her gut told her that it’s because of Castiel and she wished she didn’t call her to vent about what Castiel did but then she’s glad she called her and told her cause now she can see the kind of cousin she has..... she packed her things and called for an uber then she waited, right then there was a knock on the door and she went to open and Castiel was standing there***
Phumi: God why mara
Castiel: oohh come on stop being dramatic
***He still couldn’t read her mind***
Phumi: what do you want from me huh?
Castiel: to talk
Phumi: I don’t wanna talk to you now leave me alone...please
Castiel: ooh well I can be a pain in the ass if I want to so it’s in your best interest to allow us to have the talk
Phumi: what is it that you want to talk about then mmmh?
Castiel: aren’t you gonna allow me in
Phumi: no
***He sighed.....if only he could know what she’s thinking then he was sure by now he would have found out what he wanted to know about her***
Castiel: why are you this stubborn?
Phumi: well I don’t know you and I definitely don’t trust you
Castiel: you know what its fine we can talk here
Phumi: make it quick im about to leave
***He frowned***
Castiel: leave to where?
Phumi: im going back home
Castiel: why
Phumi: its all your fault
Castiel: ooh please don’t tell me you’re leaving because I keep coming here
***she sighed***
Phumi: im leaving because whatever you said to Kazi made her to stop taking my calls
***She said with a sad voice and Castiel chuckled***
Castiel: ooh really...she did that?
Phumi: wa tjena?....mx entlek tsamaya motho tuu (you’re grinning...mxm you know what just leave please)
***She said as she attempted to close the door but he blocked it with his hand***
Castiel: can you stop all this so we can talk
Phumi: I said I don’t wanna talk to you why are you forcing things huh?
***Castiel sighed frustrated cause he has never been frustrated by a woman like this before.... then they saw a car parking behind Castiel’s and Kazi got out and Phumi chuckled not believing this was happening***
Phumi: Yah neh bati e kana bathong ( so much bad luck)
***Castiel chuckled shaking his head and he turned back and looked at a flushed Phumi and he wished so bad to read her thoughts ***
Castiel: relax will you
Phumi: don’t talk to me wena nx
Kazi: what’s going on here?
***She said with a serious look on her face as she got closer to them***
Phumi: he...he came to see you
Castiel: no... that’s not why im here
***Phumi gave him a death look and he raised his eyebrow at her***
Castiel: what, you want me to lie?
Kazi: Phumi what’s all this.....i called you to come here so we can spend some time together not for you to go after my man
Castiel: whoah stop right there.... im not your man Charlotte, I never was one and will never be one
***Kazi swallowed hard feeling embarrassed, she wished she didn’t say that***
Kazi: I didn’t mean you’re my man I just meant...
Castiel: I don’t care what you meant but you must never go around telling people that im your man or was one....you made your choice now stick to it
***her eyes got filled with tears***
Kazi: I didn’t make my choice ok I just reacted badly and now I wish I didn’t do what I did
***Castiel chuckled when he read her thoughts.....she kept on thinking “I want you not him”***
Castiel: well I don’t care
***He then looked at Phumi***
Castiel: I’ll wait for you outside the yard
***then he walked away and Kazi looked at Phumi with an angry look on her face***
Kazi: I can’t believe you Phumi!
Phumi: askies
Kazi: you know I like the guy and now you’re going after him....like really now?
Phumi: o sa batla gonnyela Kazi ok ( don’t piss me off).....that bastard is making me feel uncomfortable and he insulted me for fucks sake....a re ko gae raloya( he said at home we do witchcraft) and wena you have the fucken guts to stand there and say I want him...wa gafa! (are you crazy)
She said feeling insulted by her.
Kazi: don’t give me that attitude ok....he said he’s here for you!
She said sounding angry.
Phumi: so what huh...does that mean I want him?...... nx you know what.... Fuck you nxa
***she went inside to take her bags and Kazi followed her***
Kazi: uthi fuck me Phumelele?
Phumi: yeah fuck you for thinking that im interested in that....
***She said pointing towards the door***
Phumi: and fuck you for letting a dick come between us, a dick im not even interested in nxa
***Kazi didn’t say anything she just blinked fast***
Phumi: and just because you can swing between two dicks doesn’t mean all of us do that....im happy with my man and you know that, you also know that I’ve never cheated on him even when I suspected that he was cheating on me... Gosh i can’t believe you Kazi....
***she then walked to the door ***
Kazi: Phumz look im...im sorry
Phumi: hai fokof nxa
***she walked out leaving Kazi with her mouth hanging..... she walked to the gate and when Castiel saw her he got out of the car***
Castiel: damn you look like you’re about to explode
Phumi: VOETSEK CASTIEL!
***She said and walked out and she joined the road pulling her travelling bag***
----------
***Phumi was now standing on a queue to buy a bus ticket then Castiel stood next to her with his hands in his pockets***
Phumi: God why me mara?
Castiel: why are you like this huh?
***she ignored him.....she just moved with the queue***
Castiel: you know the last time I chased after a woman like this was many decades ago
***she still ignored him***
Castiel: ok then
***he moved with her as the queue moved still trying to read her mind and still nothing.....he could read the mind of the woman behind them and she was busy complimenting Castiel’s butt, she wondered how he looked naked.....and the guy in front of them was praying in his head that the job interview he was going to in Pretoria goes well....He kept on praying to God busy telling him how much he needs the job so he’ll be able to take care of his ailing mother and little sister***
Castiel: hey man
***the guy turned and looked at him***
Guy: yebo
Castiel: ummm have we met before?
Guy: ummm cha angicabangi kanjalo mfowethu (no i don’t think so bro)
Castiel: ooh alright...quick question.... are you looking for a job and im not talking about anything illegal
***The guy looked at Cass surprised***
Guy: ummm i...
Castiel: are you?
***they moved with the queue***
Guy: ummm ye...yes
***he said still surprised***
Castiel: good
***he took out his business card and gave it to him***
Castiel: call me sometime tomorrow and we will talk
***he took the business card and read on it***
Guy: ok I will...thank you sir
Castiel: cool and ooh do you have a spare CV with you
Guy: ye..yes
***He quickly took out the CV and gave it to Cass and he read his name***
Cass: Ronald Mbuyiseni Dladla.....RMD
***he chuckled***
Cass: ok I’ll wait for your call RMD
Ronny: ok sir
***he said smiling tearfully and he looked forward and moved with the queue and Phumi looked at Castiel briefly then she sighed***
Castiel: still won’t talk to me?
***she continued to ignore him then he heard Ronny thoughts and he was thinking about the money he would lose going to Pretoria for a job interview which might go sideways....if only he could walk from KZN to PTA then he would use the ticket money to buy food for his mother and little sister***
Castiel: Ronny
***he turned***
Ronny: sir
Castiel: go back home and call me tomorrow for the job....
***then he took out a couple of hundreds inside his wallet and gave it to him***
Castiel: buy airtime with that
***Ronny swallowed hard and he slowly took the money with his shaking hand.....his pride wanted him to refuse it but thinking about his mother he knew he needed it and as for the job interview he knew he might not even get the job cause he didn’t even have the number of years of experience they wanted, he thought that the fact that they called him for the interview was because God was finally gonna answer his prayers but deep down he knew his chances of getting the job were slim.....his other reason of going to Pretoria is to drop off his CVs at other companies there after his interview***
Ronny: tha...thank you sir
***he said with a breaking voice***
Castiel: and if I don’t answer your call leave a message and I’ll get back to you ok
***Ronny nodded ***
Ronny: ye....yes sir Thank you
Castiel: yeah...now go home kid
Ronny: thank you sir....thank you
*** He said trying to fight back his tears and he walked away wiping his tears that fell, he was gonna go straight to the supermarket to buy decent food for his mother and little sister***
Phumi: that...that was very kind of you
Castiel: ooh now you decide to talk to me huh?
Phumi: mmmmh cause I can see that you have a heart after all
Castiel: what’s that supposed to mean?
Phumi: dude you were rude to Kazi
Castiel: I wasn’t... I was just being honest
Phumi: well you were rude
Castiel: believe me you’ll hate me when im rude.....so earlier I was just being honest
***She looked at him briefly then it was her turn to buy her ticket and she bought it then Castiel also bought his and they moved to the bus and they got in and Phumi sat down then Castiel sat next to her***
Phumi: really now...there are many empty seats dude
Castiel: I prefer to sit next to you
Phumi: hai cha angikukholwa lokhu ( no I can believe this)
Castiel: what is it you cant believe
***she gave him the wtf look and he chuckled then he sat back***
Phumi: ok let’s get it all out....what do you want from me, like for real this time
Castiel: well for starters I asked you a question and you didn’t answer me
Phumi: no the aren’t witches at home...happy?
***he frowned***
Castiel: you sure
Phumi: ungazongihlanyisa wena ( don’t piss me off).... I just answered you entlek ufunani kimi ( what do you want from me)
***she said with a pissed off tone***
Castiel: chill jeez
Phumi: nx
***then she exhaled****
Phumi: now will you leave me alone since I answered your stupid question?
Castiel: no I have another thing to ask you
***she rolled her eyes***
Phumi: khuluma! (talk)
Castiel: are you ready to travel many miles with different types of people who’ll make this journey a painful one for you
***she frowned at him***
Phumi: what are you talking about?
Castiel: you see that guy at the back...well he ate lots and lots of cooked beans and I don’t know if you know how stinky a fart of a person who ate beans or eggs is
***she looked at the back and the guy was busy burping then she looked at Castiel with a frown on her face***
Phumi: and how do you know that
Castiel: I just know unless you want to find out when this bus is on the road
***She faced forward then an obese man walked inside the bus and Castiel looked at Phumi and when he sat on the seat that was in front of theirs he chuckled***
Castiel: can we just go
Phumi: go if you want to haw
***He sighed***
Castiel: please....Please man im suffocating in here
Phumi: then hamba (go)
Castiel: im not leaving without you
Phumi: mxm
Castiel: if I faint and die in here then it’s all on you
***she gave him the wtf look***
Castiel: im serious.... I don’t do crowded and cramped up spaces ever
Phumi: yaz uyadina Castiel....wa tena mxm (you know you’re tiring Castiel)
***she got up and looked at him***
Phumi: a reye o nnetseng ( lets go why are you sitting there)
***he raised his eyebrows at her***
Castiel: ummm I only understood “a” and “o”
Phumi: Amen!
***the guy on the front chuckled***
Phumi: let’s go before I change my mind tuu
***Castiel got up and he took her bag and looked at the guy***
Castiel: uyahleka ngamehlo akho amakhulu kungathi uyixoxo nx ( you’re laughing with your big eyes as if you’re a frog)....your cholesterol will choke you while you busy laughing at things that got nothing to do with you unye msoon
***Phumi looked at him shocked and the guy frowned looking at him.....Castiel walked out of the bus and Phumi followed him with a “wow” look on her face***
Phumi: that was unnecessary dude
Castiel: can you stop calling me dude...im not your dude Phumi
Phumi: o sambora tuu ( don’t bore me please)
Castiel: just stop talking that Tswana shit with me ok...speak Isizulu then if English is showing you flames
***she showed him the hand and walked away***
----------
***They were now on the road to the airport then Castiel took his phone and called Ray***
Ray: Cass
Castiel: bros you good
Ray: yeah what’s up?
Castiel: I need a favour man
Ray: im listening
Castiel: I need you to buy me two plane tickets business class.....try and get me the earliest flight you can get
Ray: two plane tickets huh?
Castiel: I’ll explain when I see you later
Ray: ok
Castiel: thanks bro
Ray: yeah yeah
***then they ended the call***
Phumi: I hope the second plane ticket is not for me
Castiel: why, don’t tell me you’re scared of flights
***she kept quiet and looked outside the window***
Castiel: wow so you can run your mouth like someone who has diarrhea but you’re scared of taking a mere flight
***She showed him the middle finger ***
Castiel: be careful that finger might stay like that for the rest of your life
***he said with a serious tone that made her have chills run down her spine and she swallowed***
Castiel: so tell me about yourself
***She kept quiet still looking out the window***
Castiel: Phumi
Phumi: I have nothing to say
Castiel: you’re exhausting you know that
Phumi: more reason why you should stay the hell away from me
***he sighed***
Castiel: what is it about me that piss you off?
Phumi: you insulted me and on top of that you came between me and my cousin
Castiel: I didn’t insult you Phumi....where I come from being a witch is what is called “dope” today so I didn’t think you’d feel insulted by my question
Phumi: dude you speak Isizulu so you should know that that question is sensitive and insulting in South Africa
Castiel: I know that South Africans are very sensitive humans and that they get offended easily but come on that was a simple question that needed a simple answer
Phumi: mxm you know how sensitive we are and yet o no phatlhoga fela nje ( and yet you just talk as you please)
Castiel: what did I say about speaking Tswana with me?
Phumi: what did I say about you staying the hell away from me but yet here we are
***Castiel looked at her and chuckled shaking his head***
Castiel: and to think that we thought you might be with the Brethren....you’re just a loud mouth nje
***he chuckled and Phumi frowned***
Phumi: who are the Brithen?
Castiel: its Brethren not Brithen ....and they are some evil beings
Phumi: whatever...but wait....what if I am with them mmmmh?
***he looked at her briefly***
Castiel: then I would be dead by now
Phumi: well what if the Brithen don’t want you dead as yet
***She said with a raised eyebrow and he chuckled***
Castiel: for starters you said their name wrong so you can’t be with them
Phumi: mxm whatever
Castiel: “ damn it she has to be the one....Juana made a mistake she has to be the one”
***he thought and they continued to drive***
----------
AT RAY AND MBALI’S HOUSE
***Ray bought the tickets for Castiel and send him the codes then his boys came and took Celine and his traumatized bodyguard to the warehouse......Right now Ruu and Ray are sitting in the lounge with Ruslan helping Ray out with some papers concerning the private hospital Ray was building***
Ruslan: SAINT CATALEYA PRIVATE HOSPITAL....I like it man
Ray: yeah but I need to run it past Mbali first
Ruslan: and he’s learning people...
***he said smiling and Ray pushed him***
Ray: mxm piss off puta
***Ruslan laughed***
Ruslan: so what are you gonna do with Celine
Ray: I’ll call her uncle and make a deal with him, I know he always wanted to take over the family business but his brother gave the reins to his useless daughter instead so I kill the bitch for him and he’s indebted to me for life or I’ll threaten to let Celine go and he never gets his hands on the business and we both know which one he’ll go with
Ruslan: ooh so you got all this figured out right
Ray: you know me Celine being kill here won’t have him as a suspect.... and plus wifey started the whole shit and im finishing it
***Ruslan laughed***
Ruslan: lucky son of a bitch
***Ray sighed***
Ray: but im worried about her man
Ruslan: don’t be...she just showed you that she can hold it down
Ray: I don’t want her involved man
Ruslan: then make sure she doesn’t get involved it’s as simple as that
Ray: yeah
***Ray nodded then they heard the doorbell ring and Ruu got up***
Ray: just so you know you’re going to run Saint Cataleya as the CEO so you’ll be able to get a work permit to be closer to Thandi and your kids all the time
Ruslan: what?
Ray: it’s not up for discussion Ruu....we both know you have a business mind so find a way to make the Hospital a success.....and its 15% shares for sale to you, 10% for Mat, 10% for Diego, 10% for Heath, 10% for Jabu and 45% for me and plus you’ll monitor your many investment online so it’s a win win situation
***he stopped walking and looked at Ray***
Ruu: you have all this shit figured out huh?
Ray: im a business man, it’s just a pity I can’t run the hospital because of other businesses I have on the side
***Ruu opened the door and he signed for the package then he tipped the delivery man and he closed the door and walked back to Ray***
Ray: you had that delivered here, what about Thandi’s house?
Ruslan: I know the madam of this house won’t mind and she won’t ask unnecessary questions
Ray: what about me
Ruslan: you’re irrelevant
Ray: what?....you know what nigga, fuck you
***Ruu laughed then he put the box on the table and opened it and there was a scarf inside written aunt with a white making pen , a warn-out head warp written gogo, two t-shirts inside and one was written big bro and the other one was written another bro....He smirked wickedly and Ray went to see what’s inside and he frowned***
Ray: I hope all this is not for Thandi man
Ruslan: come on man I would never insult amor like that....this is what I need to deal with the Mashabas once and for all
Ray: no wait... you gonna...
Ruslan: yeah....im gonna make their nightmares come to life in a most horrific way
Ray: damn and how the hell did you get all this!
***he closed the box and whistled going to the kitchen***
Ray: Ruu!
