Nomalanga>>>>>>>>>
It's dad's funeral and after a few fights,we decided to bury him next to Noma.
Siya & Khaya are crying,we have indeed lost a superhero but life has to go on.
Lihle:"Nomalanga"
Me:"Yes ma?"
Lihle:"It's time for you to say your goodbyes."
Me:"Okay!"
I stand up and take the mic,I look at his casket.He is just lying there.
Me:"Tata, you left too soon,I never thought this day would come,I thought you were going to be here with us for a very long time but death has no warning,all I know is that I love you,you will forever be in my heart,forever"
I start shaking and Lihle nods
"I will miss you,Rest In Peace,Till we meet again I hope you'll be waiting for me,I Love You,Easy Rest Dad"
The speeches continue and we finally lower his casket and leave the cemetery.
Gogo:"You are leaving with me"
Lihle:"No you can't take her,she's doing her final year" Me:"But I'm doing my last year,I can't switch schools"
'Just a few months left before university,I can't wait to leave.'
Lihle:"The lawyer is coming tomorrow to read his will"
'I don't really care much about his will,I am sure that he didn't even include me.'

The Next Day
'Everything is so different,Lihle didn't even pack his things,she doesn't want to let go and accept things'
I recall the last conversation we had,I remember our father and daughter dates but things will get better right?Will I ever get a happy ending?Will I ever be happy?
Lihle:"The lawyer is here"
Me:"Okay,I'm coming!"
'I am nervous'
Lawyer:"Afternoon everyone,my deepest condolences,we have lost a real one,a beast in court but a man of honour,I looked up to him well I am or should I say was his lawyer,we meet under sad circumstances."
"Is everyone present?"
Us:"Yes!"
"I will be reading the will of the late Langa Gumede"
"I,Langa Gumede leave my house to my wife and children which they will have equal shares,I also leave 2 million for all the children and 1 million for my beautiful wife,I also leave my Volkswagens Golf GTI 8 for my daughter Nomalanga and my Mercedes G-Wagon for my wife."
'He remembered me'
'Hey Babies,guess who has a car?'
I smile a bit.
"I hope you guys are happy with the will and all the best"
Lihle nods.
Me:"I am going to use the money for my tuition fees"
Lihle:"Good idea"(smiles)
I wish Noma was here,she would be happy but I'm not surprised,Langa always remembered me.
I guess I have to accept everything and move on.
Going on with a broken heart,it's not going to be easy but I'll make it.
