“HIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART”

CHAPTER : 38 . 

MATTHEW . 

I'm here driving to Rori's house , they said she suddenly left after Lwandile also stormed out . I wonder what they had to do now . I hope everything is fine hey ..

I arrive and drive in , I park the car and jump off .. the door is even open , I walk inside . 

“princess ??” I say shouting but there's no response . I walk upstairs and head to her bedroom , the minute I walk in .. I stop by the door . What the fuck ?

“Rorisang ??” I immediately run to her , I kneel down . Who the fuck did this to my child , she's badly beaten up , fuck ! I take my phone dialing the hospital's number . 

“my child needs medical attention , get help here now .” I hang up the phone and try waking her up but she's not waking up . Where the fuck is Lwandile ? Where was he when this happened ? 

After a while , the ambulance arrives and I get my child in . We head to the hospital , I'm panicking because I don't know who did this and why they did it . Danger is getting out today so it can't be him . 

Once we get to the hospital , I get my child admitted and dial my grandkids' school number . 

“hello , Ms Clark here ?” she says . 

“hi , this is Matthew Martins , Ontshiametse and Kagoentle Martins' grandfather .” I say . 

“oh yes Mr Martins , how can i help you today ?”

“uhm .. my daughter has just been admitted to the hospital and i don't think that they must go to the house as of yet . Please tell them to catch an uber to my house , I'll just keep them there .”

“oh .. okay Mr Martins , I'll tell them just that . Thank you and have a great day .” I hang up and sigh . I sit down trying to make sense of everything . No one can break in , Rori's security is very tight so no one can't get in that easily , something happened and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it . This is my only daughter and I don't want to see her hurting , that can't happen . 

After a while , the doctor walks out of the room .

“how is she ?” i say .

“she's okay , just a few bruises here and there . Whoever did this to her didn't do much . She's awake , you can come see her .” I nod and walk inside , I find her facing the ceiling with tears streaming down to the side . 

“Rorisang ..” she doesn't look at me , she's just silent .

“princess , who did this to you ?” she's still quiet , the more her tears roll down is the more my tears threaten to come out . My only princess , my first and last child and they do this to her ? 

“i cheated on Lwandile .” I glance at her , say what now ? 

“what ?”

“i cheated on the one man that loved me effortlessly , i betrayed him .” whoaa .. 

“why ?” 

“it was a moment of weakness .” she says starting to cry loudly . 

“daddy , i love Lwandile . I completely understand why he did this to me , i understand . He was angry and i want to apologize .” I frown . 

“Rorisang is Lwandile the one who did this to you ?” 

“its fine , he did it because he's hurt . I hurt him !” oh no fucking hell , not with my daughter . 

“this son of a bitch , I'll be back ..” I say taking out my gun and making sure it's loaded . 

“where are you going with that gun ? Daddy ?”

“he did this to you , he won't get away with it .” she sits up . 

“dad , no please don't hurt Lwandile . Please don't do anything to him , he's hurt .” 

“aren't you hurt Rorisang ?” 

“i cheated , i deserve what's happening to me .” she's spitting shit right now . 

“I'm gonna teach that boy a lesson , i swear .” 

I say walking out and heading out of the hospital , I jump in my car and drive off in speed . 

I reach this so called Soweto township , I drive straight to where Danger used to live atleast and park my car right infront of their gate . I jump off the car and walk inside . 

I glance at the woman , who i think is Danger's wife because I don't even recognize her anymore . She looks old .

“hello ?” she says glancing at me , she's studying me . Of course she's gonna remember me . 

“where's Lwandile ?” she finally widens her eyes and stands up . 

“Matthew ?!” she says examining . 

“its me , just call Lwandile here please.”

“how many years has it been ? 20 neh ? yoh you've gotten old now .” I sigh pulling out my gun and pointing at her . 

“where the fuck is Lwandile ? I'm not here to chit chat .” she shakes seeing the gun . 

“what did he do ?” 

“incase you didn't realize , Rorisang is my daughter and he fucked my daughter up .” 

“Rorisang is your child ?! but ..” she stutters .

“Lwandile !!!” I say shouting . 

“Lwandile is not here .. he went to church when he got home .” she says . 

“your son calls himself Man of God but he can beat my daughter to an extent that she lands in hospital ?”

“Lwandile would never do that ..” she says . 

“you are Danger's wife , of course Lwandile is just like your sick husband dammit ! My daughter is laying in the hospital bed crying because of your son !” 

I hear a cold substance being placed behind my head , I glance at this woman as she traces her eyes behind me shaking . 

“Msizi ..” she whispers . It's him isn't it ?

“you have the actual guts to step into this house with a gun Matthew” he says . 

“y..you're out ? b..but ?” she says shaking . 

“I'm back now , not even this fly can hurt you .” me ? A fly ?

“I'm guessing you raised a woman abuser , oh wait .. she raised a woman abuser because you were not here while he was growing up .” I say turning back and coming face to face with him . 

“thank you for getting me out but now .. I'm gonna shoot you because you pointed my wife with a gun .”

“your son is the reason my child is all bruised up in that hospital ..” I say and he laughs . 

“can't your daughter take a few beatings from her man ? she's so weak !” he says . 

“tell Lwandile that I'll be watching him , he might not make it to his 30th year right ? wondering ..” I walk past him as his gun goes off , shoot ! He got me on my leg !

“i still got the sauce ..” he says , Danger is the son of a bitch , hence his son takes after him .
