The food looked very delicious.
The house was very silent and looking defeated just like how I feel right now.
Everytime I tried eating, I had flashbacks of what happened.
I couldn't really eat.
Mom : ntombi..
Me : mom?
Her : is there something wrong with the food?
Me : no not at all (fake smile)
Her : so why u not eating?
My eyes immediately watered.
I tried to hide my feelings.
Me : uh.. I'm.. I don't really have an appetite.
She looked at me as if she was putting puzzles together.
Her : can we talk?
Me : yea
We walked to the guest room because it was far away from everyone else.
She sat on the bed
Her : sit
I sat down
Me : mom, I'm sorry for going against ur orders
She stared at me which made my head look down on my hands
Her : I'm really disappointed.. What were u thinking?
Me : I don't know (sniff)
She shook her head
Her : why didn't u ask me to take a jog?
Me : because u wouldn't let me
Her : so u knew but still went out
I looked down again
Her : I would let u jog but with the guards ntombi
Me : really?
Her : me saying u shouldn't go outside wasn't because I was being selfish or anything like that, I was doing it for u ntombi, for u not to go through such things.
Me : (sniff) but maybe if u told me the reason I wouldn't have gon out
Her : (sigh)
Me : it doesn't matter anymore, I'm just dirty right now.. I'm hurt and my heart has never been broken like this..
Her : it's not the end
Me : yes it is, which boy will love me?
Her : the one who's clever enough to love u for u not ur past..
She wiped my tears
Me : maybe its not for me
Her : boys?
Me : no happiness ma
Her : (sigh) baby I'll make sure u happy ok? I'll always be there for u, yes u stubborn but I love u for u.. No one else can love u like I do baby..
I hugged her with tears
Her : ssh don't cry, this too shall pass..
Wait she sounds like Mary right now
Her : the doctor will come to see if u still ok
Me : ok
Her : you'll be fine
We broke the hugg
I could see she was thinking about something.
Me : whats in ur mind
Her : uh.. Since u want to know the truth about everything.. I think it's time I told u the whole truth, well not whole but all u need to know
FINALLY!!!!!!
Me : I'm listening
I wiped my tears
Her : you see the gang that kidnapped u?
Me : yes?
Her : (clears throat) they are one of the reasons why we got guards and why we have to protect u..
Me : what do they want from us and why me?
Her : baby i'm not who u think I am
OK ok what is she telling me
Me : sorry?
Her : Im the worlds biggest drug seller
I stared at her with disbelief
Her : these people want to find a way to kill me and they took u to get through me easily. They want me to go out and fight them myself which is why they violated u..
Me : (sigh) this is too much
Her : baby you not safe now that u in SA.. Even if u can go back to London they will find a way to u, so help urself and listen to everything I say..
I kept quiet
Me : does that explain why my dad also has guards?
Her : yes he's also under attack.
Me : (sigh) so all my life I will be watched 24/7?
Her : you've been watched since u were born
Me : huh
Her : yes, it's not really that bad
Me : (silent)
Her : my real name is not dineo, my name is Priscilla..
Me : so you had a mask on all the time
Her : no one must know my identity, this must be a family secret, ntombi once u tell anyone our lives are in danger
Me : fine but mom what if the police find out
Her : they won't, I keep my lawyers and police myself, I own them.
Me : fine I'm glad u told me the truth for once.
Her : I'm not done.. This one might break ur heart
Me : as long as I don't live a lie anymore so tell me.
Her :... Her real name is not Mary.. She's khanyisile..
Me : sorry?
Her : she's my mom..
She cut me off when I was about to freak out.
Her : wait before u say anything let me explain. Khanyi and I have been very close when I was growing up but it came to a point where my dad was acting differently, he would abuse us and even tell me that his not my dad. That really triggered me so I applied for DNA.. I found out that he really isn't my real dad.. Khanyi started apologizing and telling me I'll meet my dad ASAP and yes that day came when I met my real dad.. I started being much closer to him than khanyi herself. Me and him had the same personality, we liked the same things and spent alot of times with each other. He would help me do my homework, be my everyday motivation, he taught me how to drive and even gave me tips on boys (giggle)so this other day my dad promised me that he will buy me ice cream when i get home. But when I got home there he was on the floor with blood all over he was not responding. I was heart broken when I saw khanyi having a knife on her hand with blood which explains my dad's death.. (sniff) so I told her I don't want her anywhere near me and my children. She begged for a job, so I told her to live with Joseph as a maid and nothing as a grandma to u cos she doesn't deserve being called grandma.
