chapter 21

ANATHI ZULU

We sat in silence for a few minutes.

Abongile:Are you okay?

Me:I am fine...I am fine

Abongile: Tonight's dinner was one hell of a rollercoaster ride

Me:You can say that again , who knew that Lindani had that pent up anger against me

Abongile:Nobody saw that coming

Me:Maybe I can talk some sense into him

Abongile:And say what?

Me:I don't know , at this point I'll say anything just to get him to get over this phase that he is in

Abongile:Lindani is a grown udult, not a child

Me:I know

Abongile: He'll come to his senses on his own

Me:If you say so but just so you know , the ceremony won't be happening without him being here

Abongile:Shit I forgot about that

Me:Yep

I finished the beer and opened another one.I took my phone and sent Bianca a text and she replied with a kissy emoji.

Abongile:Is that a text from my sister-in-law?

Me:I haven't paid ilobola yet and yours already calling her your sister in law

Abongile:It is going to happen anyway so why not start now

Me:You're so annoying

Abongile: You'd be stupid if you don't put a ring on that finger

Me:I will now stop talking about it

He got inside the pool fully clothed.He pulled me by my leg and I fell inside the pool.I got out.

Me:I hate you

Abongile:I love you too lil one

I went to my room and changed out of the wet clothes.I wore my pyjamas and laid in bed.I sent Lindani a text of the address that I would like us to meet at.He read the text and did not reply.

If it wasn't for Lindani and his tantrums.I would be between warm thighs but then it is what it is.I fell asleep and was woken by someone banging my door loudly.I got out of bed and unlocked the door opening it.It was my mom and dad followed by a man that was covered in white powder and burning something.He spreaded the smoke in my room rumbling words I couldn't hear.
