The End Of The Road

Nightmare

Her : get used to what? This rubbish

Him : at the end of the day she's ur duaghter

Her : so I should play mommy. Oh yah I get it

That moment I burst into tears.

Him : it's all ur Fualt that u just keep secrets. Ntombi wants to know the whole truth about her mother that's all.

Her : (giggle) you think this is small things, I'm doing it for her. If u have a problem why not take her back to London, so I can also live peacefully.

She walked towards the stairs and we met.

She looked emberassed.

Her : nana.. I..

Me : it's ok

I ran upstairs to my room and jumped on the bed crying feeling helpless.

I must've zoomed out because ntokozo woke me up.

Me : leave me alone

Him : ntombi

Me : (silent)

He took the blankets away.

Him : look at me

Me : (silent)

I pulled the blankets back.

Him : it's the first day and u already tripping

Me : tripping?

Him : yes u overreacting

Me : overrea-- ntokozo

Him : ntombi

I sat straight up

Me : so u didn't overreact when u rolled ur eyes and soon walked away like a fucken five year old

Him : eyy let's not swear

Me : I'm just asking

Him : (sigh)

Me : and I'm tripping if I do it?

Him : (silent)

Me : am I not allowed to express my feelings now {sniff}

Him : nto-

Me : no ntokozo. What did I do to deserve this? Huh, all I ever wanted was to live happy with my mom for once but it seems like she doesn't want me...

Him : excuse me

Me : yes sir

Him : ntombi how dare u, that woman loves u dearly. She was dying to meet u and u here doubting that? U know she used to cry every single day, she even took stress pills because of u? Do u think she enjoyed just letting another woman take care of u?

Me : (silent)

Him : ntombi I can't believe the words that came out of ur mouth.

I stood up.

Me : I don't know.. I think I should go back to London.

Him : so u just gonna be selfish? (luagh sarcastically) oh i see now, everything revolves around u huh

Me : what, I never said that.

Him : I know u didn't

Me : so why u saying that

Him : ntombi dad has things to do but he sacrificed to bring u all the way from London. Mom missed her very important meeting just to meet her long awaited duaghter and me on the other hand I'm glad I found my other half. You just gonna let all of us down?
