CHAPTER [ 38 ]

ORATILE MOKOENA

I've been given a message to give to this man seating quietly by my side , probably wondering about the way l react . Well l have a gift l see what happened in the past and what will happen in the future , l only started to get a hand of it last year reason being l couldn't handle seeing things because it would just desturb me a lot and l asked the ancestors to close my third eye but unfortunately they decided to open it again when l was doing my matric last year l don't even know how l managed to pass knowing that people in the class are using things so they can pass or even using someone for their own benefits .lm just lucky my ancestors are very protective of me ... But all in all there's a lot of things l know even some things about Scelo and Khethokuhle that they'll have to find out for themselves unlike Mandla whom l have to give a message to , but l just don't know how l'll tell him

Khetho : hey ! you okay ? lve been calling your name for a while now

Oratile : ( clears throat) uhm yha ..

Scelo : Okay lm already parked at your place

Oratile : oh thanks for the ride .

Mandla just has his gaze on me making me more uncomfortable than l already am

Oratile: can l talk to you .

l just blurt out .

Mandla : (frowns) What ?

Oratile :come , let's talk out .

l make my way out of the car and he does so too with a frown still on his face .

Oratile : lm sorry about the way l react earlier on ( sighs) lts just that l have a message for you .

Mandla : ( chuckles) this must be a joke . thought April fool's was last month

Oratile : The you'll find the fact that you killed your dad funny too right

He gasps in shock , he opens his mouth to talk but nothing comes out

Oratile: (sighs) You need to cleans your mother's house , his spirit is still lingering and haunting your mother . lf you don't your mother might end up in great danger .

l run off before he says anything ...well atleast now he knows what to do .

MANDLA MBATHA

WTF just happened ! my heart is beating so fast l can't seem to think properly . My mother will be in great danger if l don't do what she told me ? What kind of danger though ...argh l'll surely go crazy if l continue asking myself questions l don't have answers for . l get in the car and the high school sweethearts have their eyes on me but l just gawk at them until they finally get the point . Scelo starts the car and my mind immediately drifts back to what that girl Oratile said to me... l think l'll need to inform the gents too .

...

KHETHOKUHLE MHLONGO

Mandla has been awfully quiet throughout the drive ,l wonder what Oratile said to him an why Oratile just left running like that ... but again it's non of my business . My business is standing right between my thighs looking so handsome with his new hair cut and those hazelnut eyes looking deep into mine ...l just feel the warmth of his love nothing but our heart beats beating at she same pace ....
