CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Luzuko Xaba
This woman looks annoyed yho , l wonder how Nomathemba survives here
"Saw'bona ma' " l greet showing respect
Auntie:"yebo , yin engaka oyi raselayo eyadin lam" she gets straight to the point
"Ngyaxolisa ma' kodwa bengizobona uNomathemba"
Auntie:"ihhhe" she says laughing l wonder if l might have said anything funny " we'mfana uthi umfanan loyo ? before that Ake siqale lah umazelaphi"
"ngike ngafika izolo and l was looking for Ma'Sonto's House and she's the one who directed me , and lm just here to check on her"
Auntie:"unehlahla ngoba akasekho leso sfebe s'hambe no gogo wakhe" did she just call my themba a hoe ? maybe l didn't hear her clearly
"i'sfebe ma' as in a hoe" l ask looking for assurance
Auntie:"ungizwe kahle mfan'wam , u don't want to associate your self who has a history of going around opening her thighs for everyone"
that doesn't sound like Nomathemba , l know l really don't know her yet but lt doesn't look like that kind of person. Family always have those people who bad mouth others l know this because l experience the same back home , so l doubt that l can stand here listening to this woman utter such words
"okay ngyabonga , sengya hamba mina" l say trying to atleast be polite
Auntie:"uhambe kahle mfan'wam don't associate your self with hoes neh"
l just nodd walking away . wow family !
___
Nomathemba's PoV
I'm in my room . oh !yes l have my own ROOM it's spacious campared to that pit l was at . Now l just need to focus and atleast make the two people who saved my the happiest
-FLASH BACK-
"Nomathemba you've killed me my child , l had high hopes for you and l had a lot instore for you but you chose your own path . ls this what l taught you ? you've made me a laugh stock . Yini did you lack something at home hence you went out there to sleep around ? infact you disgust me "
-end of flash back-
l was already in tears , Everytime I think about how moms words used to hit hard my mood goes down to zero . lts the main reason l have low self esteem besides the way my family sees me . l know my parents may not be here to see me fixing my mistakes but l bet they'll be watching from heaven "sighs"
