Yanela
I finished bathing and charged my nokia 1100. I got dressed in my jeans and top and pumps. I tied my old braids in a bun than went out after cleaning the room.
Thulane: You look beautiful. I was beyond shy and smiled. What can be beautiful about me. I was dark in colour. Had no breast just tiny things. Yes I had a figure but a tiny ass and I was skinny.
Me: Thank you. He walked and stood in front of me.
Thulane: so I kind of need your help with something. I looked at him.
" can you accompany me to the mall?"
Me: sure iv never been to a big mall.
Thulane: You will love this one. He got his keys and we walked to the garage and there it was 6 cars parked in there and my mouth dropped.
Me: can i ask a question
Thulane: sure
Me: Are all these cars, house and food yours? He laughed a bit shy now.
Thulane: yep
Me: how old are you?
Thulane 28 and you?
Me: 19
Thulane: I figured. I got shy.Thulane
I opened the door for her and she got in smiling. I hope she likes what I got in store for her. We went to Melrose arch to do or shopping. We got to the Sandton and she had her eyes all out. The smile on her face was priceless.
Thulane: so we had an emotional taste of Johannesburg so i wanted you to enjoy today and forget all our problems. She laughed.
Yanela: wow this is beautiful. You should have said so, I would have brought my wallet. I ignored her and we got out and first just walked around with her asking me questions than I saw her standing outside a jewellery store.
Thulane: Come let go in. She looked at me surprised as we got in and her eyes got wider.
Store keeper: Oh Mr Khuzwayo junior how are you today
Me: Am good and You Donald
Donald: Excellent. I tried getting up and I stopped him
Me: We just browsing Donald no need to get up
Donald: shout if you need anything. I nodded and Yanela came closer.
Yanela: He knows you? She whispered
Me: I come with my dad here a lot to help him pick things for my mom. Her mouth hang open
Yanela: everything here is about 10 000
Me: Yeah. She looked at me then her eyes caught a beautiful necklace. It was silver with a small heart shaped pendant that had a beautiful rock.
Yanela: The most expensive chain iv won was 90 rands at Mr price and mama shouted me for spending so much. She giggled nervously and we moved towards the door than she stopped and saw the most beautiful diamond ring ever.
" can I try it on" she whispered and We asked Donald and he took it out and she did and I must say it looked breathtaking on her tiny hands.
Yanela: Never in a million years did i think ill try something that cost 250 thousand that like a whole house on my finger. Thank you for this my mood is lifted 250 times. We laughed.
Me: are you hungry yet?
Yanela: not yet. We walked out and got to Aldo brought a few shoes with me insisting. We went to Woolworths and got everything that she might need for school and she was now getting in a grove of shopping not that I was complaining . We went to Nikki clothing and got a few limited edition. We were now at guess and she was picking up a few men shirts and pants.
Me: Who are these for?
Yanela: You silly, whole day you been buying me things now it your turn. I stood there dumbstruck she actually thought of me.She really had good taste in men clothing though. After shopping and the whole back seat was full of packages we went to MR George to eat. She looked at the menu and looked at me.
Yanela: I have no idea what to order. She smiled shly
Me: order anything, everything is nice here. So she ordered pasta and I order my usual sushi platter for 2. The food came and she was shocked by the amount of food I have ordered and looked at me as they placed the plate in front of me.In the lutha household
Mrs lutha dished up and placed the food on a tray and walked to the lounge with fear and wobbly legs. She place the food on the coffee table.
Mr lutha: Why are you the one bringing me my foood? There was silence. Next a slap followed her and her cheek was on fire.
Mr lutha: Ndithe kutheni usizisela ukutya kwam hayi uYanela( i said why you bringing me food not Yanela) she looked up and saw the rage in his eyes.
Mrs Lutha: yanela akekho apha( yanela is not here)
Mr lutha: uphi? ( where is she?) she kept quiet and another slap followed and she still kept quiet.
Mr lutha: Ndizolwela iesile yakho de undixelele ukuba iphi na loo ntwana( ill whoop your ass until you tell me where is that bitch) kicks and punches came flooding on Mrs lutha body until he was tired and he went and washed his hands and took her phone and called Yanela and it went to voicemail. He left a voice mail.
"Ndiyathemba ukuba apho uhlala ukho, uhlala unyulu kwaye ndiyakuthandaza ukuba ubuye ekhaya ukuba uyakwazi okulungeleyo kumama wakho. ukuba ndikhangele wena, ulungile njengofileyo intombazana yam.(I hope where every ever you are, you are still pure and I pray you come back home if you know what good for you and your mother. if I have to search for you, you are good as dead my girl.)" he hung up and took the food and sat down eating while Mrs Lutha was in pain on the floor trying hard not to move.
