Sa pele mahlong taka kgolo okare a namane
Sa bobedi nko lenono okare eka robega
Sa boraro dipounama makhushana tsa moAfrika
Sa bone meno masweu dikoti marameng
Ore geo sega sega ke tologe ke itebale ke palelwe le kego itshwa
O dira kudu ake o eme
Kese lebale sa bohlano lethekathekana la gago la moAfrika
Sabo tshela mosepelo wa letsatsampelo lefeyafeyo

I was listening to the song, in the midday. The romantic Sepedi song that reminds me of the queen of my heart. The part when the singer relates her eyes with the heifer's eyes, I just remembered her beautiful big pure white eyes. It is more like the singer was staring at my queen as he points out every hidden beauty and every movement of hers. I miss her so much. It's been two months without seeing her. I Laid down on the shade of the beech tree. There was a blow of fresh air that can send you straight to Lala land but I just had her on my mind. I wish she was there to join me at this moment. I would stare at my neighbor's house hoping to see her reflection but that's me in my imaginary world, She is far away from me. I just had an urge to call her, without protesting I picked up my phone and dialed her number, first, second for the third time without answering. Right now it leads me straight to voicemail. I exhaled as I look at my screen. It has always been like that. She hardly takes my calls, if she does that's when she ensures to cut our conversation short. Her first year at the University of Limpopo. Ever since she went there she's been distant, She says she is occupied with the workload, Well everybody says that about Varsity life so I choose to understand. They make tasks and assignments including group discussions that are time-consuming and they all are in need of my attention. She would be active without texting and all she would say is " I am sorry I couldn't say Hello to you, I was doing a discussion with my WhatsApp group" Well I respect that. She made it to varsity, that's what I have been hoping for all along just that things on my side didn't go accordingly, not like I have failed or I didn't perform well, Well I have passed my grades beautifully. I didn't qualify for Bursary, I still don't understand the reason I was rejected because financially I am struggling. I come from a poor family. My parents depend on the grand for survival so I am stuck here at home. I feel like all my dreams are slowly fading away and it hurts cause I feel helpless over the situation. It hurts me to think that I was supposed to be somewhere around the world working harder. I was supposed to be next to my special lady, Waking up on the same bed as we used to dream of. That's how my life it's like right now, filled with so many dreams and wishes, I am leaving in such a world, Imaginary world, it's a hard knock life believe me. I exhaled and send a text to her "tell me when you are free, I miss you". I went down to Facebook and go through the page" The Naive ME", I am so in love with the story in how crazy love can be, the book taught me no matter how strong the storms you encounter, you should stick together and work on sorting out the challenge. Love doesn't have to be perfect all the time they will be challenges that question your love and others are meant to break you down but it doesn't mean you should quit just like how Germain and Katleho quitted without solving their problems but at the end they ended up realising their fate even though they made few mistakes and breaking each other's hearts. I just hope I will share this story with her someday so that she picks up some few points to build our relationship. Oh, my phone beeped, it's a text from her. "I miss you too, Stay strong I am coming home soon" I blushed.
