Endinako walks down the road looking at her heels. She looked up the sky it was soon going to rain and she couldn't find any taxis. She took out her phone calling her boyfriend. He didn't answer the first time and she tried again.

"Endy I told you I'll call you later I'm still busy."

"Kanti what are you busy with Mandilakhe? I'm stuck in this street I can't even find transport. I have to get to work."

"Where are you?"

"At the t junction."

"I'll send someone to get you. Stop calling me. I'll see you later."

"Kanti what's happening there?"

"It's my brother's wedding I told you."

"But th...Never mind. Will you come by my place later?"

"Yes what should I bring for you?"

"Just cake I'm craving something sweet."

"Are you pregnant?"

"No I'm just pmsing I told you I'm not ready for kids."

"Your sister is only 17 but she has kids."

"I'm not having kids unmarried Mandilakhe. Send someone before I get late."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too."

She dropped the call just as a small car parked next to her. She has never seen this one before. The window rolled down revealing a white male.

"Going somewhere?"

"Yes I'm going to town."

"Get in I'll drop you off."

Endy walked around the car and got in. She smiled getting comfortable in the car. It smelled so good she could literally make love to it.

"Going to work?"

"Yes."

"Mmmh I'm Kabelo by the way."

"Endinako."

"Is Andile your sister?"

"Yes."

"Ohh I know her we used to go to school together. Where is she now?"

"Somewhere in the world. She left as soon as she finished high school haven't seen her since."

"That was what 25 years ago?"

"Yeah."

"Where's your mother?"

"She died 5 years ago it's just me, my father and my youngest sister Akhona."

"Ohh I heard your brother also disappeared."

"Yeah after my mother died."

"Mmmh what does your sister do?"

"Nothing currently."

"I'm looking for a housekeeper you should give me your number so I can call. I need someone to look after the house since I'm not always there."

"Ohh that would be nice I'll tell her."

"Okay. Wena what do you do?"

"I'm a manager at a petrol station in town."

"Does it pay well?"

"Not that but it helps."

"I can hook you up with something."

"That'd be nice."

His phone rings and he smiles answering it.

"Mma... No I'm on the road... Okay you won't believe who I bumped into...Andile's sister the middle one...yes okay I'll give her your number... Tell dad I'll get there late I have to pass by Mthatha first... Okay bye."

"That's my mother. MmaMpho."

"Okay. You can drop me off at the garage."

"You work here?"

"Yeah."

"Okay see you around. Ohh your number."

She gives him her number and walk out of the car fixing her work golf t-shirt. She walked inside the garage greeting some of the employees.

"Hey you're late."

"Nx I listened to Mandilakhe and went with him to his place and then he left early in the morning going back home."

"Sorry mma. The boss is not in yet there's also a message for you. Let me get going."

"Sure thank you."

"You're welcome."

Endy sighed walking to her small office. Working at the garage was really exhausting and she was really getting tired of all this.

"Jesus please help me get a better paying job."
