Stranger Revealed…

I woke up in the morning and made my bed and found my way to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth while I let the water run on the tub. When I finished brushing my teeth, I took a bath. I did not spend excessively much time on the water since I still had in pain. I washed the tub and wrapped my body with a towel and walked out of the bathroom.

Likewise, I walked inside our room and still found my sister instilling her bed. I took my lotion from the cupboard and started applying it to my body. I took my time. The thought of what happened in Tembisa still displayed on my mind, and it is scaring me off. I have never thought that I was going to experience all that, I am still traumatized. I don't think I will be able to get over it anytime soon, I wish I can talk to someone about it, but where will I start?

As I finish applying lotion, I picked a comfortable outfit and walk out of the room. When I got to the kitchen, I opened the bowl drawer and took out the bowl. I made the meusely and eat at the counter. I washed the bowl and walked out of the house. I waited for my cub to arrive, when he finally arrived, I got in, and he started driving.

"I hope you are good and well-prepared. And by the way, my name is Craig." the driver said as he focused on the road and locked the car.

When I looked at him closely, I noticed that it was a man who was staking me in the library last year. I never thought that he was an Uber driver. I ignored the worst thoughts and let myself be positive.

As I was focused on my phone, a message came through. I almost dropped my phone after I read the message. From there, I knew where all those strange messages came from… My blood rushed to the point where my temperature increased. I started sweating and I could not breathe normally. I tried to control myself, but I could not. Craig speed the car, but in no time he drove to a big house, and from there my version faded.

When I started to get my version back, I noticed that I was lying on a bed. I could not open my eyes,, but I used my hand for a sense of touch. The sheet comforts were not familiar. I fought and fought to open my eyes,, but I was feeling nauseous. After a while, my eyes opened and my heart dropped, and I was horrified yet disgruntled.

What was he here for, he was not supposed to be there in the first place. I was horrified by the feeling of seeing him. The moment I noticed it was him, my feelings erupted and all I wanted to do was to leave the room because I was going to kill him. I lifted my body for balance,, but he held my hand. I moved my hand to his hands angrily.

What was Arnold doing there? When I thought about the messages, I got it all pointed all in him. All those messages pointed to him, he is capable of all those threats.

Why did he bring me here, I mean ,I hate him, what he did to me was unbearable? Arnold was never able to control his feelings when we were still in a relationship, all he did was abuse me emotionally. He knew that I was not going to leave him because I loved him.

I moved away from the bed next to him and stood near the way that was not so far from the window. He stood up and tried to come near me.

"Don't you dare come to me, "I told him as I pointed at him furiously?

"Zandile" He looked at me and I knew precisely what he wanted to do.

"You think I am still the stupid girl that you once dated, Arnold ? I am grown I am no longer the same, I won't allow you to fuck up my life like you used to" I thought of the days that I will allow him to do anything just because of the name of love. I loved him but he ruined it for himself.

"Don't you fucken talk to me like that Zandile Mthombeni" He furiously said and moved closer to me and I moved away from him. I knew very well what he was capable of.

"What are you going to do? Slap me? Push me to the wall? Hurt me until my last breath? What are you going to do, Arnold?." I said as I invited Lord to be with me because Arnold could do whatever he wanted with me at this moment. But what kept me on the relationship when we were dating is that he never laid his hands physically on me, but he emotionally abused me.

"I see that your recent boyfriend has given you his balls to fucken talk-back, believe me, I don't wear a skirt, I ain't like him, you know that Zandile. I can fucken end both of your lives by just snapping my finger, who are you raise your voice to?" One thing about Arnold is that he thinks he can control the world, he might be powerful, but he will never have power over me.

"I am not scared of you anymore, you don't scare me. You can tell all that to someone you give a shit about you, you ain't nothing to me anymore, Arnold, you ain't shit, ebile wanyotsa (you disgust me)." Someone had to tell him, if not his friends then it had to be me.

"Fuck you, I wonder why I brought you here, it was a waste of time. But believe me when I say you need to break up with him because I will hurt his ass if this doesn't happen soon. You are mine and you will be forever mine. You are mine Zandile and you need to understand that" He walked close to me and held my hand tightly, and I felt pain.

As he was still holding, me, Craig walked in and pushed me to Craig and looked at me." Take her back and don't let anyone touch her." He said and walked out of the room.

Craig walked me out of the room, and we went straight to the garage that was full of cars. He opened the car for me and I got in, he closed it and went to the driver's seat and started the car…

"Zandile, the early you understand that Arnold will never let you go the better because if you don't, He will make your life miserable like his," Craig said as he focused on the road.

"Don't you fucken talk to me. You knew what you were doing when you sat next to me at the library and pretend like you wanted to be my friend, but just to put that fucken letter on my bag. You knew very well you were working for him, didn't you even think that will scare me, hah? fuck you and him. Arnold thinks he can control me, but he does not know what's in store for him, and you, you don't have to act like you fucken care" My tears dropped off. Why did he decide to come back into my life while I am happy?

He drove and parked the car outside the gate. When Craig was about to come and open the door for me, I opened it quickly and slammed the door, and ran inside the house. I whipped my tears before I could enter the house. When I finally finished, I walked inside the house and found my mother with Chantel in the kitchen.

As I was about to speak, my mother beat me to it." Chantel has been here for you, where have you been" my mom said.

I could not talk because they were going to notice that I was crying. I pulled Chantel to my room quickly and walked to my mother. When I got into my room, I turned to the door nd locked it, and turned to Chantel.
