Raymond Our Husband

Chapter 4

I'm sorry for the late update, I had school work I had to finish even though we're under quarantine.

“Oh! Poor thing I’m sorry you’ll be strong and while on that choma you need a new phone shame
this is embarrassment of highest order.”
“Yea yeah! Rub it in Tee soon I will get the phone just wait and see.” I need a new phone for real.

Fries and coke I dive in I’ve been hungry all day. I’m trying to watch my weight mind you…. real irony
but don’t ask. All the weight loss foods are expensive and too ugly for me at the moment besides I
have more problems, I cannot worry about weight for now. My boyfriend has never complained
about my weight infact he always go crazy over my legs, smooth thighs and every other thing I have
below my waistline. We carry on chatting and laughing loud in this table.

I love my friends they are
the best, believe me you don’t need booze or drugs to take stress away if you have these kinds of
friends. It’s time for my next and last lecture of the day.
“I have to go ladies see you tomorrow” as I leave them.
By 2:00pm I’m done for the day. I walk straight to the bus stop, thank God there is a bus waiting I
jump in lucky enough it starts moving. Where I stay is a 15 minutes walkable distance but I can’t dare
walk it’s too hot and I’m tired.

Finally I’m in my room, it’s a commune I don’t share a bedroom with anyone though I have the
smallest room than others but at least I have my little privacy here. I remove my shoes put on my
slippers and head to the kitchen. What will I have for supper, I searched the fridge …good I find a
tray of beef mince I will leave it on the sink to defrost I will cook it with spaghetti later, for now
polony sandwich and juice will do. I’m running low on food let me call my mom and ask for small
money at least I know she’ll give me. Imagine she called me earlier that embarrassing call I received
in class and I never got back to her. I’m a bad child.
“Baby wami unjani I called earlier” as if I need her to remind me.

“Yes mama I was in class, I’m not fine,” I say that to grab her attention….
“What’s wrong now?” ….It’s working.
“My food is finished mama ”- lies always work trust me.
“Ok how much do you need because I can only give you R300 tomorrow” yessss!!
“Please deposit at Shoprite mama bank charges I can’t deal shame.” I say excitedly.
“Ok mntanami I will” That was easier.
“I love you best mother in the world.”
That is the truth I love my mama so much though she drives me crazy but no one is like her.
“I have to go mama bye bye.”

I didn’t even ask what she wanted to say earlier and I don’t care I’ve gotten the money that’s all that
matters.
Student life! Let me take a nap I will wake up at later to cook and study.
I’m woken up by my phone vibrating under my pillow. I wonder who is that waking me up in my
sweet afternoon sleep? I should’ve switched it off. Let me ignore it my sleep is important. Argh!! It
rings again… I don’t know this number it’s not saved.
