"Mr. and Mrs. Meyers I'm sorry for that we have met like this, I acted out of anger and dispute, and I didn't mean to hit your son." Lindy expressed regret.
"We understand dear," replied Mrs. Meyers. "I would have done the same thing if I were in your shoes."
What kind of advice was this elder giving to this youth? Is violence the solution to every problem or misunderstanding?
I'm in love with this girl Lindy; she's brave, mature and unique. But violence huh, huh was never a solution but to worsen things.
"I've always thought that I would make a good daughter in law, even though we have not met before…always kept my hopes up, thinking that I would be a perfect wife for your son." She wipes her tears.
Mandy did not waste any time.
"There you have it! You've found yourself a daughter in law..." as she was about to leave Lindy grabbed her by the hand and held her arm.
"Please wait, don't leave now, I need you to hear what I'm about to say."
The way Mandy gazed at Lindy; she was staring at a piece of waste being jangled by germs. She let go of her arm and she said something inspiring, and more appealing to Mandy.
"Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the right path to the most wonderful things that were meant to happen to us…" everyone's eye's widened we weren't expecting such Positivity from her.
She is certainly a therapist, what she said opened my eyes, these words gave me hope, I realized that some things are meant to happen to us not to kill us but to make us stronger, everything happens for a reason. When one asks for an egg from God Almighty, Creator of the Universe, He'll never give you a scorpion nor give you the exact quite opposite of what you've asked for but will give you what you've desired all in good time. And Gods time is the perfect time; He's never too late or early but always on time.
"I understand very well that you and I weren't meant to be together… I'll pray for you, that you get a wonderful woman that is best suitable for you." and she stormed out of the house, ran straight into her car.
"Lindy wait!" cried out Vusi as he tried to reach out for her, he collapsed, Mandy stood there as if she was stricken by lightning, she was out of words and finally she breathed.
"There goes a fine young women there Vusi…"
"Shift aside." said Mrs. Meyers.
As they attended Vusi, I grabbed my father's car keys and chased down Lindy, the things people do when they are angry is frightening, I had to rush to her because I care so much about her, I didn't care less about Mandy or Vusi, all of this that had happened, he brought it on himself, his got nobody to blame but himself.
I drove faster trying to catch her, but the traffic jam around 7(seven) pm is never exciting, I tried being on pursuit, switching lanes but I did not know which lane she was driving on, finally I stopped next to her at an intersection, I hooted on her and thank God she looked over, tears were running down her face, she opened the window.
"What are you doing? Why are you following me?" she asked sorrowfully.
"May you please stop… stop over the pavement… I need to talk to you." I pointed where she was too stop her car. she was shaking; you could see that she was scared, she didn't pull over at the pavement she drove off! It was pointless chasing someone who doesn't want to talk to you, I didn't even bother to drive, I just stopped at the intersection, I was giving up, cars hooted on me I switched on the warning sign on my father's SUV just to prevent the other cars from hooting. I then drove off, just took the same lane she drove on.
Love can make you do unnecessary things, especially when it's so strong, when you love someone and they don't notice that you have something for them its completely sad. I kept on hoping that maybe one day, my day will come and I'll marry her, after all we can't fight fate.
Alongside the road, I came across her car, I peeped over to see if she was inside but she wasn't, I got worried, the wind blew so hard, the weather had suddenly changed, and there was lightening, and soft rain drops fell on the ground and hit my head, it started to drizzle, she was not inside the car, where else could she be, I kept my eyes on the road and it was so dark and it started to rain heavily, I got sad, my eyes began to be teary, the sinews on my fore head began to show, it is so painful and disappointing, to search for something you love, or something so dearly to you and you seemingly can't find it.
I had to put more effort and make it quick in finding her, drove a little bit more faster and from a distance I saw something moving, wasn't sure what kind of creature it was and it vanished again into the dark. I was scared so terrified, I couldn't see clearly it was dark and the moving creature disappeared. I passed through where I've seen it moving, but nothing was there, my gut feeling said I shouldn't drive any more, I stopped.
It's good to listen when the Holy Spirit speaks, I then decided to reverse the car, something made me to get out of the car, I became brave and strong I was fearless, whatever situation would have come my way I would have battled it until I win. As I stepped out of the car, stood by the passenger's seat, I heard a heavy breath, a breath of someone who has been beaten hard, it sounded like someone who has been thirsty and had been locked up for days without food or water, I got closer and closer, I couldn't see clearly because of the hard rain and because of the wind that blew hard.
"Oh my God, Oh God… please come with me." she was so wet, she was trying to get up on her own, but she fell on the mud, she dirtfied herself.
"Why are you so kind? Why did you follow me to this far?" she probed with that quivering voice.
"Just keep quiet and lean on me, ok."
She leaned on me, I picked her up and placed her inside of the car at the back seat, went to the back of the car just to see if I could find her something warm, i managed to get a towel and throw, wrapped it around her just to keep her warm, she was crying but I couldn't see the tears because of the rain water that flowed down from her head.
"Lindy, why were you walking alone on the dark? And worse part it's raining… anything could have happened to you… have you even checked the time?" she wiggled her head slowly.
"Do you know how long I've been searching for you... I almost gave up on finding you!" you could hear her sniffing mucus and for sure she was crying. I know the pain she's going through but I don't know how to comfort her.
"Lindy what if somebody else had found you and only God knows what would have happened to you!"
"I'm sorry" she said "I really am sorry I didn't mean to course any trouble." she wept.
"Lindy please, please don't cry… I'm sorry I didn't mean to lash at you like that… it's ok."
"It's Ok… I understand… it's ok" her voice quivering as she was shaking feeling cold, I held her hands trying to warm her up, the car heater wasn't doing much of a Job.
"Let's go somewhere, where we can get some coffee just to warm you up." I suggested.
I drove back where I drove past a filing station, I parked the SUV aside and rushed inside the shop and ordered three cups of coffee, just when I looked aside I saw a poster advertising regular clothes for fund raising, I asked the cashier where could I get those clothes that were on promotion, she directed me.
