Chapter 66
SIBA
I laid awake that night with a lot of questions in my mind and zero answers. My Aunt said a mouthful, she told a history that I had no clue about. She called my Grandfather a rapist, said he sexually abused them. Now I think I'm starting to understand why she has been treating me so bad, abusing me.. It's all because of my Grandfather. I wish I knew everything, I wish I knew the whole story. What really happened, all the family secrets so I can understand her pain more. Though what happened to her was very sad, but that's not an excuse for her to resort to something so drastic! Is this the reason why she has been treating me so bad all these years? The reason why my things took longer to work out? She blocked my success? Blocked me from realizing my dreams earlier? I felt a sharp pain crossing through my chest, I struggled to breath. I sat up straight and put my hand on my chest and tried to breath normally..
RAZOR
The next morning I was at the office running through my cases for this week. I took my cellphone and called Ace..
Ace: Boss
Me: I need you to take care of something for me
Ace: I'm listening
Me: I have someone who is going to testify against my client in court tomorrow, I need for you to visit him. Don't kill him just shake him up a bit so that he can change his testimony in court
Ace: Okay I get you
Me: I'll text you the address and name
Ace: Yes Boss
I hung up and texted him the address..
After a few seconds I heard a knock, Jen walked in..
Jen: Good morning Sir
Me: Good morning
Jen: Someone is here to see you
Me: Client?
Jen: Uhm not ent-
Mahlodi walked in..I stood up..
Me: Babe
Mahlodi: Good morning
Jen: Should I bring you something to drink?
Me: Err no thank you.. We are fine
She walked out..
Me: How are you? Are you okay?
I walked up to her and kissed her on her cheek..
Me: What's wrong? You look disturbed
Mahlodi: I lost a case
Me: I'm so sorry, what happened?
Mahlodi: Witnesses were killed
Me: You can still go through with the case can't you?
Mahlodi: The state lawyer will take over, I know he's going to lose
Me: Give the fella a benefit of the doubt
Mahlodi: You going to grill him in court
Me: If he has all the evidence then it's going to be a tight case, plus the homicides will make it more difficult for me
She sat down..
Mahlodi: This is a mess!
I put my hand on her shoulder..
Me: It's going to be okay
SIBA
Neo showed up early to come and fetch Lethabo before I headed to work..
We walked to his car.. Neo was holding Lethabo, he kissed her on her forehead..
Neo: Did you have fun Princess?
Lethabo: Yes we ate cake!
Neo: Ate cake? That sounds yummy, did you leave some for me?
Lethabo: Errrrr.. Maybe
Neo chuckled..
He unlocked the door and put her in the back seats, he crouched and strapped the seat belt around her..
Neo: Here we go.. Are you safe?
Lethabo: I'm safe
Neo: Okay
He closed the door and looked at me..
Neo: Thank you for looking after her
Me: It's okay
He put his hand under my chin..
Neo: Look at me
I looked down..
Neo: Hey look at me.. What's wrong?
I walked closer to her and put my arms around his waist.. He wrapped his arms around me as I cried..
Neo: It's okay
KAT
I had a peaceful sleep and a peaceful night as a whole. Sleeping on the bed, and not having to worry about that psycho... I went and bathe, then had breakfast. I took my antidepressants and then went to the garden
Thabiso: You look happy this morning Nkosazana
Me: I feel good today
Thabiso: I can see that
Me: So how can I help?
I heard my mom's voice, I turned around. She was standing there with one of the rude Nurses..
Me: I'll be back
I walked up to her..
Me: Ma
The Nurse left us..
My mom looked at Thabiso..
Ma: What are you doing?
Me: What am I doing?
She pointed at Thabiso..
Ma: That? What are you doing with that?
Me: He's just a fri-
She slapped me across the face..
Ma: This nonsensical behavior is what got you here in the first place! You fell pregnant and the father of your baby left you! Now you wanna fall pregnant again? You wanna keep on having babies with no sort of plan?
Me: Ma it's not like that
Ma: You disappoint me a lot Kat! Do you know where Siba is now? Working! After that she's going to school.. She's getting her matric in order, she has a plan.. Wena you have nothing! Nothing at all!
That was a mouthful..
Ma: Sies!
She spat on the ground and walked away..
Ma: Into oyaziyo ubufebe nje! (all you know is whoring)
SIBA
We were sitting in the car..
He wiped my tears..
Neo: You okay now?
I nodded..
Neo: What happened?
Me: Just my family
Neo: They still at it?
I nodded..
Neo: This is insane, you no longer live there moss
Me: I feel like getting away from here, just move far
He held my hand..
Neo: How about you come and live with me?
Me: Neo
Neo: Listen to me.. You can move in and quit your job. I'll be able to take care of you and then you can concentrate on school how about that?
Me: I don't know
Neo: Let's try it out, just this one time. If you don't like it then I won't bother you again with this
He kissed my hand...
Neo: Please.. For us..
