Love Saved Me

ZOLEKA'S MOM

I felt like there were things on my face, I kept scratching my self until I decided it would be better if I woke up and took bath and changed the sheets and the bed cover. When I woke up there was a pool of blood on the sheets, I looked at my pants, they were covered by blood.

No, this isn't supposed to be happening to me, this should be happening to Sizakele, what the hell is this? Could it be that I went to the amateur and he wasn't brave enough to tell me that he couldn't help me?
I took a bath and put on a pad and changed the bedding. The pad couldn't hold the amount of blood that was coming out, I ended up putting on a cloth and went back to sleep.
When I woke up the bed was full of lice, I quickly removed the bedding and the sheets, the blood started flowing through my legs. *Sighs*
What the hell did I put myself through? This wasn't supposed to be happening like this,it shouldn't be happening to me. I went to take a bath, again and went to see that man, there's a lot of explaination I need from him.
I finished bathing and left, luckily the nagging child of mine wasn't home or else she'd be asking me many questions.

Me :" Bhekile, what is going on"
He laughed
Him :" I knew that you were coming back"
Me :" stop telling me that, why is all this happening to me?"
Him :" because you provoked a clever woman, she found out about your plan very early and stood up, she sent it back to you"
Me :" no,non,no... There should be something you can do for me, please"
Him :" as you know, I can't reverse this"
Me :" oh, what have I done"
Him :" I'm sorry"
I walked out. This means I will bleed my whole life? My whole life I'll have to deal with lice? How am I going to face Zoleka with all this? After she told me to leave Patrick alone. I drove back home and she hasn't arrived. I need to do something, quickly.
I searched for something strong in the house that will help me quickly, I found nothing, I then  went to my bedroom and sat on the bed and wrote a letter for Zoleka, telling her about everything, I finished and took the keys and went back to the car and drove off. I drove to the bridge, I thought it would work if I hit the the wall, so I did.

SIZAKELE.

Bleeding has stopped, I am glad I noticed this early and found the help I needed and my husband supported me with this. I finished with the house chores and rested. When I woke up everyone was home, Thembela and Thembeka were also visiting us, there were loud laughs coming from the sitting room, I love the relationship between them and Patrick in a way that I keep on asking myself why he doesn't get along with his own child or it's because of her mother. I won't get surprised, she's capable of that. I joined the others in the lounge , I greeted them and sat down.

Pat :" we already dished up and ate, hopefully you don't mind"
Me :" as long you left me some, there's no problem"
Him :" we didn't, you'll eat bread then"
Langa :"hau malume"(uncle)
Him :" please stay out of this Langalethu"
She pretended to be zipping her mouth.
We continued with little talks while watching tv.

MENZI

You know what I love about fridays? It's that  I get to go home and see the love of my life and today she even promised to spend the night with me. I packed my bag in the boot and drove to town. I bought most of her favorites and drove home. I called mom and told her that I'm coming with Langa and she better behave herself.
