Chapter 7: The other side

Sethu
Zweli and I kissed until my lips were painful, so he decided to cook for me while I watched tv. We ate then took a blanket to cover ourselves while watching tv, he kept on touching my breast. I trailed my hand to his private area, but he stopped it.
Zweli"No babe, we not there"
"Let me take a walk to get rid of this"
I laughed remembering the first time I was staring at his private part.
Me"We can go to that place"
"Just don't leave me alone"
I know tomorrow he had to work, and maybe I will have to hang out with Mandi.
Zweli"Lets go"
We drove to Stanley street to order our supper at the Two olives then went to look for these flats. The only lead we had was the wind chimes on my sketch pad, and the name of the place due to the payments made. We got lost until we found it, the security guard hugged me.
Me"Molo Tata"
S.Guard"Hey MaRadebe, uvelaphi?"
Me"Bendigodukile Tata"
S.Guard"Yho ukhalisa uLwazi, nangoku niphosene"
Zweli was filled with rage, I simply tugged his sleeve then smiled.
Me"Ndizo mtsalela xa ndifumene ixesha"
He looked at Zweli then back at me.
S.Guard"Ngumnakwenu?"
Me"Ewe Tata"
Zweli"Can we go?"
Probably angry because I just said he's my brother, but this security guard clearly knew Lwazi and Zipho. I couldn't introduce Zweli as my husband or explain that Zipho is my alter ego and I'm Sethu.

Zweli"If you had your own place and you wanted to hide your keys, where would you do that?"
Me"Wouldn't even lock, people always assume the door is locked if there is no key on the key hole"
Zweli"Wait! you never lock xa uyeZiyabuya?"
Me"Will you be angry?"
Zweli"Pissed off boo"
I smiled at him
Me"Obviously I lock, now lets focus Hahaha"
"Wind Chimes!"
I ran up the stairs, I bumped into a few people that kept on greeting me as Zipho and I offered a smile. I pushed the door and just like I thought, it wasn't locked and next to the radio the key was there. Looking around I immediately fell inlove with the place, it was everything I imagined my room would look like if I had the guts to stand up for what I want.
"You like it?"
My inner voice sounding so pleased, I looked around the bin bags and old books packed in a small shelve. A huge drawing of my childhood doll, I don't remember what happened to Rosey.
Zweli"Let me guess, it wasn't locked?"
I didn't turned around to look at him I just nodded and carried on admiring this masterpiece.
Zweli"You have a blog?"
Me"No I don't"
I went to check at the laptop with him, the desk had a picture of who I assume is Lwazi and I.
"He is a great guy"
"You would love him"
"Sethu just give him a chance"
My inner voice chipped in again."
Me"They look so inlove "
Zweli"Yea they do"
He showed me the blog, it was everything close to amazing. Current affairs √ Fashion √ Book Reviews √ Contemporary photography √ but most of all unknown artists given the platform to showcase their work.
"You gave up the dream and I kept them alive, you allowed me to be your voice"
I ignored her and carried on admiring this place.
Zweli"Are you okay?"
Me"What if I want this life? maybe I envy Zipho for doing everything I have given up"
"She is everything I have always wanted to be Zweli, she is everything I visioned nineteen year old me being"
Zweli"She isn't real Sethu"
Me"She is Zweli, she is a part of me"
Zweli"We should go"
Me"Can you go to fetch the food then ubuye ngam"
He was reluctant at first but eventually left.

The next day Zweli went to work and I was home alone, we had an appointment at 4pm with another psychiatrist. I quickly got out of bed to fetch Zipho's laptop well its technically mine. Emails from different people, she has friends!  I have never ever had friends.
Mandi"Noli? "
Zweli's brother was still around
Me"Ndiyeza"
I got out of bed to attend to him.
Mandi"Vasa I need you to take me to Campus"
Me"Not doing that"
Mandi"We need to bond "
Me"Mandi I don't have the car, Zweli took it today"
Mandi"Wait where is the other car?"
For as long as I been here oko sabane motor enye.
Me"Eyiphi?"
Mandi"Tata bought Zweli a family car, think a VW as a hint for kids"
Me"When?"
Mandi"Two months ago"
Me"He didn't accept it"
Mandi"Yaaas!  Zweli is giving me life lately"
"Did he tell you uTata uthi funeka azilungisele?"
Me"Your father is stepping down?"
Mandi"Yebow! Father is old kaloku and uyagula, so Zweli will be soon have his inauguration "
This is proof Zweli and I dont communicate.
Mandi"I should go, please don't mention this ku Bhuti"
That idiot ran like a thief in the night, I decided not to focus on that talk . I cleaned the house, then cooked and Zweli arrived while I was getting dressed .
Zweli"Kumkanikazi"
Me"Get out hahaha"
Zweli "Promise not to touch"
Me"Zweli"
Zweli"Baba?"
I gushed giggling like a school girl
Me"Tata says you will be the chief "
wasn't about to betray Mandi
Zweli"Baba your dad had no right, I never agreed to anything"
"You know how it's in our blood, moving back there will be a decision we make together"
"You are my wife, decisions like that we will make together"   
Me"Masambe Mr Zako "

Zweli held my hand while we waited on doctor Micheals.
Zweli"You okay?"
Me"Scared"
We went inside and this time the doctor listened to Zweli.
Me"What's wrong with me?"
Dr Micheals"I don't wana rule out Schizophrenia but Dissosiative identity disorder (formerly known as Multiple personality disorder)"
Me"Can it be cured?"
Dr Micheals"Yes and no, I honestly never dealt with it but given the opportunity I will do my best"
Zweli"Baba?"
Me"I need to tell Lwazi, he deserves the truth"

Sigh
