THIRTY THREE
Dintle just arrived at the shisanyama restaurant she thanks the driver before walking out and there was Samkelo standing by the rented car looking smoking hot in his black jeans and black t-shirt not forgetting his cap worn from the back and his white kicks . Dintle smiles walking towards him .
Samkelo : Hey you made it , clearly "Ragadi Stompie" didn't catch you
Dintle (giggles) : Yeah her chickens are left unguarded though , but l'll have to go back there soon .
He clears his throat
Samkelo: Did you eat , anyways let's go eat .
Dintle nods and they walk inside the restaurant and they ordered pad and some meat . The pair just sat there gawking at each other until Samkelo decided to break the silence .
Samkelo : Uhm so how have you been doing?
Dintle : You know better than to ask me that because you were stalking me remember .
Samkelo (chuckles ) : Aha you got a point, but l want to hear it from the horse mouth .
Dintle : lve been okay being back home is just refreshing , yes Ragadi Stompie is a pain in the *** but l love her so much she's the only one lve got now .
Dintle : What do you mean the only one , ngikhona muc ...
Dintle: Yeah right (sighs) what l mean is shes the only close thing l have to my mother and as for my father's side they're very distance since l became mental I'll .
Samkelo : Come to think of it l never even bothered to ask what triggered your mental illness .
Dintle : It's understandable because it's hard for the next person to understand what the other person has gone through to end up being were they're now .
he looks down feeling ashamed because he never even tried to hear the side of her story.
Samkelo: lm listening now
Dintle: Three years ago l wasn't at home during the day because l had went to my ex boyfriend's place , so it was now late l had to go back home so the guy drove me home . When l arrived it was so quiet and that was unusual , l decided to walk inside going to the lounge...what l saw cannot be unseen .
A tear drops from her face and he swipes it off with his thumb clenching his jaws.
Dintle : There was a pool of blood , my mother , my father , my uncle , grandparents and my little brother were all dead ... brutality murdered for what ?By whom?till this day l don't know but l heard a voice coming from the front door l didn't see who it was but l had suspect it's the killer
Samkelo : I'm sorry to hear that .
Dintle : Samkelo l couldn't take it anymore , l lost my sanity ...l was taken to a mental asylum but l escaped .l just couldn't .
Samkelo : Why didn't you escape for the second time .
Dintle : I realized that l hurt the person l love , l just had to get hel and focus on getting better and indeed lm taking my medication and l feel better every so thank you
He takes his hands into hers and looks deep into her eyes as if his searching for something
Samkelo : lm really sorry about everything , l came here to ask you to come back with me-
Dintle:But-
Samkelo : Chaa Dintle , you know what you are coming with me l can't lose you for the second time l rather be blind than watch you walk away again ... l realized that there's a piece of me missing when you weren't there l didn't realize it the first time because l was too ignorant . Ngiyak'thanda Dintle and lm willing to take our relationship to the next level but first you'll have to come with me .
Dintle has her mouth agape in shock.
Dintle: I don't know what to say .
Samkelo: Just come with me .
Dintle : Okay but firstly you'll have to talk to Ragadi Stompie.
Samkelo :Ini?!
Dintle : Yes l can't just up and leave remember she's the only one l have left.
Samkelo: Okay, okay let's home she won' make me guard her chickens first .
They both bursts into laughter thinking about Ragadi Stompie and her chickens.
