TWENTY EIGHT
MELODY
l am thinking of driving to my apartment but then again l miss Zoliswa alot can you imagine l have see him in two months , he's been ignoring my calls whenever l would pop up in his office he would make sure l don't even make it to his office . l really don't know why he's doing this , if he doesn't want me anymore he should just face me and tell me not this thing his doing .
You know what lm driving to his place . A moment later l park my car , l don't bother knocking l just push the door and it's one hell of a mess in here . Bottles of wine , whiskey everything is on the floor it even stinks , boxes of unfinished pizza and clothes everywhere nje it's a mess .
The first thing l do is opening the windows before going upstairs to his room . You know your girl melody doesn't bother knocking so l just push the door and there was Zoliswa sleeping on the cold ties with only his briefs on ...this one is going to be sock that's if he's already not sick.
l cover him with a fleece blanket before l walk back down stairs starting to clean , the mess he made in just two months is just not healthy at all . From sweeping , scrubbing floors and moping the floor to shifting furniture and folding clothes and putting out 3 huge plastic bags filled with bottles and takeaways in just five hours he hasn't come down yet .
l sigh washing my hands then walking to his room ,l think his on the shower because l can hear water running atleast his bathing he even fixed his own bed . l take a seat on the bed as l wait for him to come out , jeez l overworked myself for someone who has been ignoring me mxm .l close my eyes just taking a breather and l hear the door close .
l quickly sat up straight clearly my throat as my eyes fall on Zoliswa , his beard has grown but he still looks handsome .
Zoliswa : Melody...
I flap my eyes
Melody : Uhm yes ...
Zoliswa : What are you doing here ...
Melody: Really Xaluva is that what you going to ask me after ignoring me for the whole two months ... yini what did l do to you huh ngikwenzen.
Zoliswa : You did nothing okay..
He takes me for a fool this one ,l stood up and started hitting his chest with tears flowing of it's not me then what is it. He held both my hands .
Zoliswa : Stop it , you did nothing ....it's not you it's me .
Melody : Then talk to me !
He sighs and his eyes become teary .
Zoliswa : Okay then I'll talk ....take a seat you might not be able to handle this .
Melody : Let's hope you did not cheat on me coz l swear Xaluva l will-
Zoliswa: No it's not that .
Melody :hmm
l took my seat as l wait for him to talk .
Zoliswa : So three years ago a man called Cebolwethu Gasa committed a crime not just any crime but homicide .He is wanted by the police in Botswana and this man is currently in South Africa in hiding .
Melody : What! Then contact the police ...do you know where this Cebolwethu guy is at right now .
he looks down with tears falling from his face before he kneels before me taking my hands into mine .
Melody : What's wrong , is this why uve been keeping your distance ...you planning to expose Cebolwethu .
he shook his head looking at me with red teary eyes .
Zoliswa : I want to be honest with you Melody and whatever decision you'll take l'll respect it .
Melody : Uhm okay-
Zoliswa : I'm not who you think l am, lm the man who came into South Africa in hiding .l faked my identity ..lm no longer known as Cebolwethu Gasa but Zoliswa Xaluva , lm still a wanted man in Botswana lm sorry l know l should've told you before you fell in love with me .
to say lm shocked is an understatement , l can't help but get teary
Melody : Uthin ...what ? why...
Zoliswa : l did not mean to kill them l swear , l was possessed by the devil Melody please believe me
Melody (chuckles) : Possessed ? Zoliswa or should I say Cebolwethu do you even understand what you are saying ? infact how does one know if they're possessed .
Zoliswa : I don't know okay but l need you to believe me even if you'll decided to leave or not but l just want you ...l need you to believe me .
he pulls me into his embrace and we sob together with a lot of emotions wavering between us , what am l to say about what he has told me ?
