Ntwasahlobo
Ntwasahlobo doesn't reply to DMs at all. It's a rule she made the minute she stepped into uni after three law students and a "prophet tried to lure her on dates. She posts her short uni diaries on TikTok and life updates and life lately long videos on YouTube, that's her income and a way for her to be financially independent and stable and she keeps her inbox on message request as a graveyard. So when a UCT med student slides into her dms and calls her "Ntwasa" she should delete it. Except no one call her that , her friends call her S'hlobo and her parents call her with her full name when they are angry-asking for money yes😂.
But Ntwasa where did she/he get that? She clicks in and reads
"I don't know why I'm texting you", the text reads, " I've watched all your vlogs. Twice. You argue with your laptop like it's opposing counsel. It's concerning. Also you are wrong about customary marriage. You should read your inbox." Haybo who is this with no profile picture. Sounds like a man definitely a man maybe it's another man trying to lure her in a date. She clicks into his page she reads the bio

Langa 🤍" His user name is Nkosinathi but who is Langa?
Ntwasahlobo is 19, LLB 1st year student at UP she's from the Eastern Cape, Xhosa.
She texts back
"Langa"
"Don't call me that", he says
She frowns, "Isn't it your name?"
" That name does and we buried it with my grandfather. Everyone calls me Nkosinathi or Nathi maybe even Nkosi."
Her finger hovers around the call button maybe she should say sorry or is she exaggerating this. She taps on the button it rings and he answers. Silence. Breathing sounds that are shaky.
"Langa" she whispers.... Stupid girl. Silence Again like he left the call
"Say it again" he says softly like he's at the library.
"Please say that name again" What's happening with him? Does he like it?
"Langa... (he smiles and lays on his back) I'm sorry to call you that" drops the call.
