IT GETS BETTER WITH TIME. <NOT EDITED>

Chapter Eight-worried

"Busi, you have to eat something," Khanyi annoyingly utters and I glare at her like she's grown two heads.

"Eat something? Are you crazy?"

A day has passed. No sign of Nathi and Siya.

I can't eat, it all comes back anyway.
Khanyi isn't coping at all too but she's trying all her level best to stay strong.
Lele was sent to her grandma at Emadadeni located at KZN, yesterday.

Everything is just so depressing and I honestly want to believe he's still alive, as his sister stated but I can't. I'm the one who heard the gunshots, I'm the one who saw how my uncle shot Nathi a murderous fist.

"You really have to calm down okay!"

"It's been hours Khanyi. A day has passed, how do you expect me to calm down?" I question as I cuddle myself with Nathi's shirt inside the warm blankets.

I can smell him and none of this is soothing the situation.

"Their my brothers too. I'm way more worried than you are, but this is us, things like these happen. We have enemies Busi." She calmly states and I don't miss how meaningful her words are.

She weeps silently and I can't help but wonder what does she mean by that?

"Enemies?" I whisper.

"Yes. Enemies. We are a wealthly family after all. People have issues about that. They believe we've murdered loyal people so we can get where we are today, forgetting that we've stuided years and years to get where we are today. We've worked hard for this company." she sighs and sleeps next to me.

"Have you?"
She knows exactly what I'm referring to.

"It depends. Loyal and harmless people, never but dangerous poeple like your uncle. We do, with no second thought. It's called self-defence anyway."
She seems unbothered by this. It's like she's used to situations like these.

They kill? Is this what I'll be getting myself into?
For a man I love and my protector?

I'd go through it all.

Only if life gives us a second chance and he comes back to me.

"But don't worry, I, Nathi, and Siya ain't allowed to do either of those things. It's a shem because Nathii is just so stubborn, just like Sbongiseni." She shrugs and glances at me.

Who's Sbongiseni again?

"That's our older brother."
Wow. She reads minds too.

"Do you think they'll come back?" I finally find the courage to ask.

I'm really worried.

"They'll come back don't worry. Are you here to stay?" She arch her eyebrows.

I simply nod.
I know I love him, I just figured that not so long ago, so why should I not stay?

"Good. I'll go fetch the sleeping tablets with a mini sandwitch okay?"
I nod.

I think I might have found myself a sister I have never had.

----------------

After the exhaustion, the anxiousness and panting, I finally fell into a deep relaxing sleep. All thanks to the sleeping tablets.

But whose hand is all over me? I gradually flutter my heavy eyelids open and I get a vivid picture once they've fully opened.

Nathi? His back? But when?

His warm breath hits my bare skin and I get shivers down my spine intensely and I think I feel his erection on my butt.

This man manages to have an erection? While I was worried sick about him.
