WHERE DID I GO WRONG?CHAPTER 10
SINDISIWE'S POV
I woke up feeling much better . I bathed then wore blue jeans , white oversized t-shirt and white AF1 sneakers .
I am going to the mall . I took my side bag and car keys then walked out of the bedroom .
I found Mbali in the kitchen , she's eating breakfast .
me: morning .
her:it should be 'good morning ' .
This one is trying to teach me manners . I rolled my eyes .
I checked my wrist watch , it's 7:30 and this teenager is still home having breakfast , what time does their school start ?
me: you're not late ?
her:I am .
me: but you're so chilled .
her:I should be the centre of the attention , my presence should be felt when I walk in .
I looked at her surprised , khuzani uMbali bo .
I waited till she was done it , I offered to take her to school .

I dropped her at school then drove to the mall .
I went to The Fix first I needed to get a few clothes , I ended up buying things that cost R5000 , I went to spoetscene then got two new pairs of sneakers , then got a wrist watch for dad .
I was finally done with the clothes then went to Woolworths to do groceries . I received a notification , I checked and it was a bank notification . +R30k into my bank account .
it's my 'wife' allowance .
I think it's high time I forgive Thulani , but he made me experience pain for the whole 11 years whereby he got me asking myself ‘WHERE DID I GO WRONG?’
I remember I was 3 months pregnant and he made me sleep outside in cold , it was even raining , I couldn't even walk , my whole body was numb because I received the beating of my life , even small things counted .
He'd beat me to the point whereby I wished like dying or whereby I saw death as my only escape from him .
His anger is on another level and no one can control it.
I sighed then continued with the groceries . I payed then went to clicks to get a beauty package , I'm buying it for Mbali .
It costed me R750 , I payed then went to the salon . They unpleated my braid then did new ones with a blond colour this time .
I finished late , it was around 19:00 when I drove back home , I got them junk food from Chicken Licken .

Mbali helped me unload the things .
mbali:you should've told me you were going to the mall .
me:haibo why ?
her:so I can go with you .
me: you're schooling.
her:I was going to bunk school duh .
she rolled her eyes , I playfully hit her chest .
me: teenagers nowadays .
we dished up then handed pretty and dad their food . we went to my bedroom then ate there .
when we were done I fitted my clothes . I was changing in the bathroom then come to show her , I don't want her seeing my scars , they're so scary .
me:I got you this .
I said giving her the beauty package from Clicks .
she screamed and kissed my cheek .
her:I LOVE YOU ! thank you !
I smiled , she is my best friend from now own . I love her so much .
her: you're the best .
she hugged me .
