We were now seated in the lounge with the Phongo family.
Uncle: we sorry to come unannounced but this was of utter emergency.
Mr Phongo: I see
Uncle: we come with a goat to apologise
Mr Phongo: for
Uncle: for disrespecting you with the nurse that we are to share right now and will like to say whatever you lay on us we shall do accordingly.
Mr Phongo: And you are?
Uncle: We are the Ndlangamane from kwabhaca erowdeni. Mr Phongo looked at us confused as hell.
Uncle: Khuluma Nkanyiso
Me: Uhm... I used to be in a relationship with your daughter 7 years ago and I did her wrong and am here to ask for an apology.
Mrs Phongo: Lulama no more stays here
My mom: Let him finish. I started telling them about our relationship how I loved her and how she loved me. I went on to the part were i took her virginity promising her that ill marry her, how she later got pregnant and I locked her in my room out of fear that she stepped out on me since I stepped out on her. I told them on how i mastered getting her the pills to abort and that after iv abused her and made her dig our child grave she ran away. Mrs phongo got up and beat the shit out of me crying, screaming and kicking. I felt ever kick and slap as my family just sat there and watched her had her way with me. When she was done her husband took her and held her.
Mr Phongo: For 7 years iv played that week in my head over and over again. Thinking of how i could have done things differently. Thinking of the what if and where I went wrong but now I see. She feel in love with my worst nightmare. Someone Iv always caution her against but little did she know that you are the very same thing that iv warned her against. She was out of character for a few days before she vanished and I brushed it off as matric exams but little did I know it was you and your child. A child that we would have helped raise if only you gave her an opportunity to come home and explain in a normal condition but no you manipulated the situation to the point that i was angry beyond reason. When she ran away from you and came to the only place she knew will she will find solace.... I saw the old man eyes water.
Mr Phongo: You and I are animals. You abused her and instead of consoling her and helping her I chased her away in a rage with a sjambok out of my yard and out of this community. Yes she was turning 18 years that year and gad a bright future ahead of her and you took that away with your selfish reasons and I with my anger. Unfortunately I don't know where she is ever since that day she ran away. I don't know if she lives or not. I don't know if she will ever come home or not. I don't know what my own seed is going through and if she ever had a survival chance with what she had to go through in your hands and my anger. I hear you child but I pray you never find peace. I pray my grandchild spirit haunts you forever. I pray that in your quest for forgiveness you beg the lord more for a way forward cause right now you have meet the end of your road. Now take that goat out of my yard, take your elders and your am sorry out of my yard. I pray that my daughter is alive and that she comes back home cause that will be the only person with the power to forgive you or accept your goat or even the ritual you want to do. Now leave my house before I call the cops on you for the murder of my grandchild and the rape of my daughter.... i felt Mr Phongo every word and my family and I left the house with our head hang in shame as we made our way to the car with our goat. I got in the car feeling defeated and all I could do was cry as my mother watched me in silence as she hugged me consoling me from the pain i felt in my heart.....

I sent her a text when I got to the complex and came out of the car in my full white combo. I was wearing a white funnel pants. Polo neck and sneakers and a black diesel watch. I stood by the car as she walked into the light and lord she looked amazing in maroon from head to toe. She had a maroon jet legging, a long overlapping jersey dress and vans.  She had her afro in a sleek bun with a navy and white bandana and lord she was sexy. She came walked to me holding a white clutch and smile.
Me: Hi
Lulama: Hi
Me: You look and smell nice. She smiled with her dimples and that did a thud to my heart.
Lulama: Thank you. She buckled up and placed her bag in front of her and I drove to Parktown....
