My Son is Hero

"It was probably for the best… in my heart I knew for sure that he has moved on." I knew what she wrote on her diary and it was also clear that she had also moved on, I did not want to comment but I wanted to hear what she had to say, it was going to break her, I invaded her privacy I had to pretend as if I knew nothing at all.

"But how did you know?... how did you know that he had moved on?"

"My Aunt has taught me that, once a man has stopped calling he has lost interest on you, they no longer love you."

"Wow! Does that really happen, I mean in reality?"

"Yeah… it has already happen, I'm sure you've seen proof today… I'm glad I have been training myself, how was I going to handle this situation when it came across me…"

"Lindy please, don't torment yourself…"

"To tell you the truth, it hurt so bad, it is so painful, I thought that I could deal with it but I can't."

Tears dripped out of her eyes, and she couldn't help it but to wipe them away. It was cold I couldn't resist her, but I had to comfort her and hug her. I don't know how to console a women but it felt great as she leaned on my chest.

"He called me over just to dump me like that..."

"…Vusi is a scumbag; you deserve much better than this…" I had to console her. See a better version of a man from me

"How could he do this? He brought a girl along so that I could see that he gets in bed with any girl he wants because I refused to…"

"My dear, don't ever sell yourself cheap for any guy, who might come and sing praises about love without putting a ring on your finger."

She pulled away from my chest, it was still cold and the heather was then off! I had to turn it on and off, because we wanted to survive the whole night.

"I'm glad you are my friend J.R." her palm was rested on my chest whilst She gazed at me.

"Me too, I'm glad that you are offloading some of the bad things from your chest!"

She then hugged me and gave me my first kiss. A peck on the lips, she then refrained from me after realizing what she had done. I wouldn't have let this opportunity to jump me. I love this lady. If then she was willing to kiss me, how can I resist her? Our first kiss was like a lightning strike. I didn't want to take advantage of her; she seemed to make me her rebound. But then in my defense, she didn't pull away, if anything, she pulled me closer, after the warm kiss from her cold lips, it was the most amazing thing I have ever tasted. She hugged me again and whispered to my ear.

"I didn't know that guys like you still existed." I smiled and gazed upon her eyes.

"You need to have faith dear, you don't know what tomorrow may bring."

I deluded her in a way to make her believe that guys like me still existed, which is yes they are still there, you just need to be patient they are not easily spotted. I couldn't stomach the thought of her sadness that's why I said anything which was everything just to calm down her spirit. I was tucked in within her and her within me, under the small blanket 'throw'. The winds blew in every direction it was really cold and the only warmth that we managed to obtain from that point was from one another's body heat.

Being attached to her made me fell warmer and she to me. I felt intimate with her and yet she wasn't still my women. We hugged each other, tightening our grip and as it began to be colder and colder so did the kisses, her lips became a bit warmer each second. I couldn't resist her. For she is my crush, my dream girl, I've always yearned to kiss her. I know on my imaginations this was not how I've always imagined our first kiss and if only she were to be mine, tonight is my night with her.

Her tongue complemented mine as tongue does to wine I did feel inside that she was feeling me too, I don't know how and why but it felt great. I pulled her back and kiss her on the fore head.

"Everything will be alright…"

She closed her eyes and opened them; she looked prettier than before and even sexier.

"It's ok to kiss, but we shouldn't do something that we won't be proud off!" I said.

"I'm sorry if I had tempted you… it wasn't my intention…" our lips were saying something else whilst our emotions wanted something different.

I raised my finger and placed on her lips

"Shh… relax it's been a long day… just sleep."

She lay on my chest like a little baby feeling a mother's love. It took me some time to acknowledge that she was sleeping on my chest, and finally I gave in to sleep. It was cold and I felt her body heat warming me, my neck and my back were killing me I got up. And look upon my wrist watch it was 4h00a.m.

I looked at her she was sleeping peacefully but I had to shift her slowly, I didn't want to wake

her up, and she continued sleeping, I checked the petrol gauge, it wasn't enough, started the

car engine, moved the car closer to the petrol pump and added some gas and we drove off

when we arrived at her place, police cars were there. I got off the car and rushed to the house

"What's going on?"

"Joe! Joe the police have found Lindy's car and she wasn't inside, I suspect something happened to her."

"Ncane calm down Lindy is fine." I assured her because she was panicking.

"Hold on son!..." said the officer.

"You are?" I inquired.

"I'm warrant officer Zulu and this is my colleague sergeant Mabuza."

"Ok! It's great to meet with you." I said.

"I believe you have some information on Lindiwe Maseko?"

"Yes sir."

"Where is she now?"

"She's at the back seat of my father's car sleeping."

"Oh thank God!" said Ncane.

"Ncane wait! She's still sleeping she had a terrible day."

"Ok, but may I please see her?"

"Yeah, she's at the car."

"Son may I ask you few a questions" enquired Mr. Zulu.

"Yes sir, you can ask me anything…"

As he reached for his pen and Minnie-pad, my father called he too was worried.

"… Sorry my father is calling, I have to take this."

"Ok go on."

"Pops, I'm ok, I'll be home just now, and I've just dropped of Lindy."

"It's great that you are fine… your mom hardly slept all night… please come home this very moment!"

"I will after the officer has done questioning me."

"Officer,"

"Yes pops! An officer,"

"Don't answer anything until I get there,"

"Why pops, It's not like I'm on the wrong side of the law."

"I said don't, you understand," he commanded.

"Ok pops… I won't."

"Send me the address Of where you are."

My father is a strong, hard and stubborn man. His word is always final. I did what he asked of me. Warrant Officer Zulu came towards me, he wanted to resume where he left off! This was to ask me a few questions which he didn't even get a chance to ask me a single one before my father ringed me.

"So may we carry on?"

"Am sorry sir… I've been given orders not to answer a single question nor utter a word about last night!"

"Ok… I see… is your father a lawyer son?"

I did not say a word; he played around with a few tricky questions tempting me to answer them. I wanted to but what if the Meyers did lay a charge about Lindy hitting Vusi on the head with a glass? And if I would say something, that would be a flight risk, risking with my future wife.

"Oh. I can see that you are one brave young man!"

"Of course he is, if it wasn't for him, perhaps my family would be preparing my funeral right now!" said Lindy

"Oh so he is a hero?" asked Officer Zulu.

"My son a hero huh?" a familiar voice was heard from the background. When I turned around it was my father.

"Not really pops… I was just looking out for a friend."

"But I had the word hero!" he said.

"Joe, thank you for saving me last night," Lindy acknowledged.

"It's ok Lindy… you would have done the same for me, that's what friends do!"

"Yes, but I owe you my life… thank you."

She came closer and closer and hugged me.

"Thanks a million times. " tears dripped out of her eyes.

"You don't have to thank me… but thank God Almighty for giving me the courage to continue searching for you in that bad weather."

"Whatever now, that may seem absurd; I will always know that Joe is always there to take care of my sister's daughter." Ncane complemented

"So who's the Officer who wanted to question you?" pops asked.

"It is I sir… I'm warrant officer Zulu."

"I think you should ask me, all the questions that were directed to Joe!"

"Ok then… what happened last night?" He continued

"May we please leave?" dad asked. He didn't even bother to answer the officer's questions.

"Yes… yes… please have my card, if you would like to pass on some relevant information.

"I'll take that… thank you." pops reached his hand out. He took the contact card from Officer Zulu and pulled me out of the yard.
