CHAPTER 29
SNEAKY LINK#29
Sandile's girlfriend looked at her phone as rage brewed inside of her. She called him one more time shaking with anger.
It still rang unanswered. She called his younger brother Lakhe who answered seemingly deep in sleep.
"Hey Zikho everything okay?"
"No your brother is not answering his calls. Do you know where he is?"
"Probably sleeping. We were up until late."
"Where?"
"Home we're home. Didn't he tell you?"
"He told me it's just... No... Never mind."
"I can go to h..."
"No it's fine."
"Okay let me sleep then."
He dropped the call and Zikho shook her head going to their bedroom and slept.
..................
Mandilakhe looked at Nobantu sleeping as he thought of that smile on Endy's face few hours back. He grabbed his phone and watched the video again.
He got up from his bed going outside the room and called her phone. It rang for a while before she answered giggling.
"Endy's phone hello."
"Hey Endy it's me."
"Ha.a bhuti what do you want?"
"Can we talk? I can drive there s..."
"I don't talk to married man. Let this be the last time you call me or I'm reporting you for harassment."
"I love you. I swear to God I'll leave her just tell m..."
"There's no hope for us bhuti. Remember when you came to my house telling me how you made me what not. That was the last straw please stop calling me."
She dropped the call. Mandilakhe wiped the tear on his left eye and sighed looking up in the sky.He walked back inside the house and woke Nobantu up.
"What is it it's late?"
"We have to be honest. There was no marriage between us. I only stayed with you because I was scared of what mama would say if I broke things off but now I can't. I can't even have *** with you with the lights on even when we're kissing it's not there. There's no love between us and I don't want you hating me in the process but I can't carry on. I want to be happy, I want to love and be loved and you can't give me that. I'll take care of you and my kids. Next year you're going back to school I'll take care of everything. I have to go."
He walked out going to the main house. He opened the front door using his pair of keys. He walked inside going to his parents room. He knocked.
"Yes."
He walked in and looked at his parents who were also looking at him.
"Mama Nobantu and I are separating. I don't love her I never did you know that. I'm sad because the woman I love doesn't want me anymore because of the decisions you pushed for me to make. I'm going back to town and Nobantu's family has to give back ilobola and tell them I'll be coming to pay damages for my kids all three."
"Kanti you didn't choose to marry that girl?"
"Mama said she'd make. A great wife and would send her to my room everytime I was here and because I'm an idiot I felm right into her trap. When she got pregnant her family said I should marry her and I did."
"And I was never told about this because?"
"Tata you were not okay back then I did what I thought was right in that moment."
"Kodwa nkosikazi you knew Mandilakhe loves his girlfriend why would you do him dirty like this?"
"I don't want that girl here myeni wam."
"Why? Because she's modern everything you wanted and didn't get? Who's fault is that? Go Mandilakhe."
Mandilakhe walks out and bumps into Nobantu who's a river of tears.
"I hate you Mandilakhe. I hate you and your mother why would you waist my time like this? Why do this to me? How is it my fault that you lost the love of your life?!"
