WHERE DID I GO WRONG?CHAPTER 05
I woke up in the morning and did my morning routine, my so called husband wasn't next to me , maybe he went to work early.
I walked downstairs , the smell of food hit my nostrils . I inhaled .
voice:you finally woke up , good morning .
he said flattering his smile . it's only now that I realise he is a fine man , his wrong doings hid all his handsomeness .
me: morning .
I should have said good morning because it is , he made breakfast .
he opened the chair for me , I sat down and thanked him .
he sat down too , I said grace then he started eating .
me:you didn't poison the food ?
he paused and looked at me .
him:why would i do that ?
me:i don't know , if you managed to kill your own unborn babies then what will make you to not kill me ?
him:(sigh) sindisiwe please forgive me okay , I'm trying to own up to my mistakes and you're making it hard to be honest , whenever I change to that abusive man mode i don't know what is happening to me , there's something controlling me and I can't over power it , trust me sindisiwe I don't mean any harm in your life .
me:then let me go , let me live my life the way I want to live it , you made me miss my teenage days ! I couldn't enjoy my youth like any other teenager thulani .
him:i know okay , but it wasn't my idea too , I'm sorry sindisiwe .
I stood up then went upstairs .
My tears are falling out already , that's how broken I am , I can't even hold my tears , everything just hurt me .
I took my side bag , cellphone and car keys . well I do have a car , he's not that bad bad husband , he bought me a red Mercedes Benz C63 when I was turning 21 .
I walked downstairs , his head is on the table . I would say he's crying but no he is not he is too heartless to know how to cry .
I went to my car then brought the car to life .

I arrived in Hammanskraal in an hour or so .
I parked my car outside the yard , it's been years since I came here , well that is because I wasn't allowed to .
my biological mother died when I was only 6 years old and Jude (my father) decided to marry another wife (Pretty) who became my step mother . She already had a thing with my father and they have a child who is 30 years old , his name is Simphiwe so basically he came first then I was conceived after , we share the same father .
she hates me but she doesn't reveal it that much . But I know she hates me with every fibre in her .
I walked out of my car , my high heels were sinking on the sand but I had to maintain the walk .
Pretty was sitting on the stoop reading a magazine , just like old times she hasn't changed .
her: sindisiwe ? Is this you ?
she doesn't seem pleased but surprised . dad came out of the house , I ran to hug him and immediately my tears fell .
he comforted me . I wanna come back home , emshadweni akumnandi at all , it hurts ! Being married hurts !
me:i wanna come back home baba , kubuhlungu .
I wailed and he hugged me tighter . he kept on brushing my back saying all will be well .
