chapter 20

ANATHI ZULU

It was not helping with the headache that I had.I regret falling for the same trap again.

Me:We just went out for a couple of drinks

Mom:Couple of drinks when you couldn't even walk properly...you're both udults but act like kids , what is wrong with you two?

Me:I am sorry mom... we'll do better next time

I hugged her and kissed her cheek.

Me:Now smile for your baby...you don't look nice when you're mad

She playfully hit with the table cloth and I doged it.

Mom:You two will be the death of me one day

Me:That will never happen in a million years

She laughed and I went to the kitchen and ate yesterday's leftover.Nandipha came to the kitchen with Esihle.She saw me and giggled hugging my leg.I picked her up and placed her on the counter.

Nandipha poured a glass of water and drank it.She sat down next to me and smiled at me.

Me:What did you want?

Nandipha:Nothing , what would make you think I want something ? Can you read minds

Me:Okay then me and Esihle will be by the pool

Nandipha:Okay...I do want to ask you something

Me:What do you want to know?

Nandipha:Who is the beautiful young lady I saw on your phone?

Me:You went through my phone?

Nandipha:No...I saw your wallpaper...you should be thanking me if mom saw it , we'd be talking a different story right now

Me:Thanks for that

Nandipha:And?

Me:What?

Nandipha:You owe me the truth , I protected you

Me:Okay

We went to the pool side and sat the chairs.She was excited to know about Bianca.

Nandipha:I am waiting

Me:We met at the business conference that I was a guest speaker on

Nandipha:Boriiiiiiioiiiing... try again

Me:But that's the truth

Nandipha:Add some spice nyana...drama marn make it exciting

Me:I don't know what to tell you

I got up and played with Esihle for a few minutes.She went back to the house to check on Abongile.The twins joined me at the pool and had our usual debate about anything and everything before they swindled me out of R10K.
