FOURTY FIVE
ZOLISWA
I try moving my body but my head feels heavy ,l look at Melody who quickly moves to me with worry written on her face..what happened ?
Zoliswa: uhh..
Melody: No keep lying down you need to rest .
Zoliswa: Rest?What happened?
Melody : You-you don't remember anything that happened yesterday when l asked you about Dintles matter?
Zoliswa: I only remember you saying l don't care if l don't go to jail and from there l can't seem to remember anything , what happened ?l just felt like -
Melody: Like what ..what did you feel like?
it's back , l know it is l wasn't myself
Zoliswa : Did l hurt you yesterday ? l know l wasn't myself yesterday l just don't know but the voice in me just wants me to do bad things ...I just want it to stop !
I know bathi indoda ay'khali but but there's nothing that hurts than being a prisoner of your own body , when you become the devil's versal , control by darkness .l just want it all to stop . l feel her hands on mine she tightly holds them reassuring me that it's going to be okay , at some point lm afraid - lm afraid that l might end up hurting the person l love most .
Melody : Shh you know what go take a quick shower , l'll prepare some food for you ...l want to take you somewhere .
Zoliswa : Where you going to take me to ?
Melody: Somewhere where you'll get help .
Zoliswa (sigh's) : What if it doesn't help ?
Melody : you need to believe in it helping , do you know that the devil feeds on your guilt and fear...you are giving it all of that , don't let the devil win okay .
Zoliswa : You know lm the luckiest man in the world .
it amazes me how she's still here even after l told her everything , even after l almost hurt her . l wish l had told her a long time ago maybe , just maybe l would be normal as we speak.Her chicks turn pink as she blushes .
Zoliswa : I'll forever cherish the ground you walk , and you'll soon see what lm talking about .But for now let me go take a quick shower . I stood up kissing her forehead.
Minutes later l had downstairs and l ate food prepared my my one and only and off we go headed to where lm supposed to get help , she's the one driving .
We arrive an hour later at her church , l look at her ... she's very invested into the Lord and l love her for that . We go inside the church and there were three man wearing those black gowns holding on to their crosses and bibles for some reason l feel like running away but l hold on tight to Melody's hand m
Father : You made it .
Melody : Yes father, uhm this is my partner Zoliswa .
Father : Nice to meet you...can you all follow me .
We walk behind him going through stairs , it's getting darker but atleast there are candles around .The man walk past the gate after dipping their hands well the tips of their fingers before putting a cross on themselves and l do the same as Melody .
The room has this circle of water in the middle with only candles around . I feel something awake within me ,the voice is getting louder and louder before l know it the devil has taken over my body .
Melody : What are you waiting for let's all start praying the devil is here .
it's all l hear Melody say and after that it's all blank , lm a prisoner of my own body.
