FALLING FOR THE UNEXPECTED

I took a deep breath as I stood outside Ntando's door. My heart was racing with anticipation and nerves. I knew this conversation wouldn't be easy, but I had to be honest with him.

I knocked on the door, and Ntando answered, a look of concern etched on his face. "Hey, what's going on?" he asked, ushering me inside.

We sat down on the couch, and I fidgeted with my hands, trying to gather my thoughts. "Ntando, we need to talk," I said finally.

He nodded, his eyes locked on mine. "What's going on, Lena? You've been distant lately, and I can tell something's bothering you."

I took another deep breath before launching into the truth. "I've met someone else," I said, the words tumbling out of my mouth.

Ntando's expression changed, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Who is it?" he asked, his voice low and even.

I hesitated, unsure of how to answer. But I knew I owed him the truth. "It's Ntsika," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

Ntando's face fell, and he looked away, his jaw clenched in anger. "I should have known," he muttered.
