At my house
I burnt the rubber gloves and my rubber soled shoes then walked inside the house feeling rejuvenated.
I went to the fridge whistling and drank milk from the bottle then went to change my clothes, minutes later I walked out from the bedroom and went to sit on the couch.
Neliswa made her way in stretching herself.
Neliswa: "Morning."
Me: "Uyalala bo!"
Neliswa: "I use homechoice blankets."
Me:(confused) "So?"
Neliswa: "You won't understand. Let me go and take a bath."
Me: "I'll go and check on Ntokozo you'll wait for me right?"
Neliswa: "Okay."
I nodded and went out.
At the cattle post
I parked my car and stepped out leaning against it and looked at Ntokozo.
He shifted from the door as the herdboys escorted the nursing cattle and their calves out. He took out his phone and listened for a few seconds then it slipped from his hands as he placed his hand on his chest bending down.
I chuckled and made my way to him carefully as to not step on the cow dug with my shoes.
Ntokozo: "You're evil."
Me: "You see Ntokozo, I'm a Zulu man and our cattle are very important to us. I had to sit back for months watching you killing my cattle like flies after screwing my woman and getting her pregnant. This is me getting my revenge, we're equal now but should you try your nonsense again, I'll not burn your house but I'll burn your rats to death. Dare me! You think you're punishing me by acting crazy? Well guess what? I'm the whole psych ward. I'm crazy like that, I put C in crazy, Dare me!"
I smiled politely then walked to my car with my head held high then drove out.
At Zwelamy Construction
Thorello's phone vibrated from his pocket. He slid in his hand taking it out.
It was a text message from African Bank informing him that his loan has been approved. He did the calculations in his head, after their wedding he'll be kak broke. It was a good thing he had finished paying for the plot and other building materials.
His oldest brother called him..
Thorello: "Hello."
His brother: "Thorello, can we talk?"
Thorello: "I'm listening."
His brother: "I was wondering, why don't you change the title deed to our sister's name since you're getting married."
Thorello: "Why?"
His brother: "You're marrying Diepollo in community of property so I think it a wise move to make."
Thorello: "I understand, I'll change it."
His brother: "Go shapo."
They hang up and he walked inside the building in his overalls holding his helmet.
He went straight to the elevator and pressed the up button and it opened and he stepped in.
Another message came, it was Didi informing him about Kea's school fees. He sighed sadly and replied with 'ok'.
Kea changed crèches because her mother wanted her daughter to get only the best.
The elevator dinged and opened and he stepped out walking to the CEO's office. He knocked once and invited himself in.
Nonkazimulo: "You look bad."
Thorello: "Ke shapo."
Nonkazimulo: "What's up?"
Thorello: "Nothing I just hate working with incompetent people, I placed an order for the rubber from SA Hose and Belting last week till today the rubber is not here. Tell me boss lady what is delaying them from delivering the rubber, akere they deal with rubbers or maybe they've turned into a fast food restaurant ba busy ka the orders?"
Nonkazimulo:(chuckled) "Stop being dramatic, they called me this morning and informed me that they're short staffed but they'll deliver tomorrow."
Thorello: "How is that any of our problem? Akere we paid them the money this is nonsense, why are they even calling you instead of me. Who is the superintendent between us? SA Hose e simola masepa."
Nonkazimulo: "Thorello wee sleep, remove your dusty boots and take a nap on the couch we'll talk later, I have a meeting with the architect and a conference call in an(looking at her wristwatch) hour."
Thorello: "No I need to go back on site, I wanted to call SA Hose using the company's phone."
Nonkazimulo: "You'll see them later, sleep and don't forget about your appointment ngo 2pm."
Thorello: "I won't."
