CHAPTER 27
*INSERT 27*BASETSANA.
I'm laying on my new bed, yesterday I went shopping with Bontle, I bought new furniture for my apartment, groceries and a lot of clothes. He made sure I bought something nice for today since we're going to this club he keeps talking about, last time we were supposed to go he ended up bailing on me so this time we are going.
I wasn't down for the idea but now I think I need to get drunk I deserve it. Right now he's busy shifting nonstop on the bed and It's irritating.
Me: If you don't stop, I promise I'll send you to sleep on the floor.
Bontle: Mxm, I'm wondering in fact I'm angry at you.
Me: Me, Why, What did I do?
Bontle: You gave that fool a second chance after what he did and I told you that I don't ever want to see you with him.
I laugh like really laugh.
Bontle: Is it a joke to you?
I stop laughing now that I see he's serious.
Me: I'm sorry, I love him.
Bontle: Yeah but does he feel the same way about you?
I shrug, Does he?
Me: I think so.
Bontle: Mhm I understand, just be careful neh?
Me: You do?
Bontle: Yes
I give her a hug and he hugs me back.
Me: I love you so much.
Bontle: I love you too.
We break the hug.
Me: Lets go eat I'm hungry after that we're preparing ourselves right?
Bontle: Now you're talking.
We stand up and head to the kitchen, We decide on eating Pie's and down it with a glass of cold juice, then we start bathing.
Arriving at the club It's packed and It's already dark outside, we both don't own cars but Bontle's boyfriend has one and Bontle promised he will call him when we decide to leave so that he can come fetch us. I didn't even get the chance to call nor text Sbani that I'll at the club today. I guess I'll see him tomorrow.
We settle on the chairs near the bar, a waiter comes and takes our orders, I order a six pack of brutal fruit ( sparkling) and a bottle of Amarula, Bontle orders a six pack of Bernini (blush). We're going to share the Amarula I ordered.
Our orders arrive and we start to drink.
Bontle: Watseba since kenwa, heke soka ke utlwa monate tjee.( Since I've started drinking, I haven't had this much fine).
Me: The night is still young for you to say that.
We laugh.
Bontle: Whatever, did you tell your dear boyfriend that you're coming here?
Me: No I forgot, I'll see him tomorrow ,today I want to get sloshed and forget everything. It's been a while.
Bontle: You're right lets get drunk.
We click our cans and laugh.
Later on we're drunk as hell and WELELE BY PUSHKIN AND SPRINGLES plays.
I scream making my way through the crowd to find Bontle, this is my favorite song, I find him dancing his **** off and I join him. Some guy comes and dances with me , he's cute that's no lie, I'm allowed to compliment people even when I'm dating right? especially guys?
This guy I don't know by the name starts touching my hips, I don't mind cause we're dancing, It doesn't mean I'm a whore or anything, no I respect my body, We're just having fun. I'm wearing a black short dress and white Jordan sneakers and my dress keeps going up, I bring it down and Its when I get lost dancing, I'm pulled by my hair to where the entrance is.
From the entrance to the parking lot, It's when I see a red GTI that I realize It's about to go down.
I try to raise my head and look at him but I'm welcomed by a thunderous slap, shit I think he broke my nose and I can feel blood making its way out, right now I wish someone can come save me, I give up on the idea when I remember we're at the club and everyone is minding their business and surely they think this guy was buying me alcohol and now I'm refusing to go with him wherever he wants us to go.
Thinking about it, this is some twisted shit that people believe. And Bontle went to the toilet, he won't even see me.
He opens the door to his car, throws me inside before he gets in and he drives off.
We arrive at his house and he's fuming I just hope he doesn't hurt me. Before I even sit down on a sofa he throws another slap and I end up standing.
Me: Wait I can explain.
I'm crying and I hate what's going on now, It was better when I was still dating Zakhele. He never laid a hand on me and I believe he's no woman beater.
Sbani: Why was that fool touching you inappropriately?
Me: We were dancing and It didn't mean anything at all.
Sbani: I've been calling you, where is your phone, you didn't answer my calls because you knew that you were with a boyfriend.
Me: Are you hearing what you're saying, I forgot to call you before I left for the club and I left my phone at my apartment.
Sbani: No you didn't forget. you didn't want any disturbance with your new boyfriend or is it that this started along time ago and I was the fool?
He slaps me again and I hold my cheek.
Me: I'm sorry It is not like that.
He punches me hard and I fall hard on the corner of a coffee table with my stomach. I cry out loud.
I'm sick and tired of this guy treating me like this and I don't even have a phone to call Bontle.
The pain I'm feeling emotionally can't be compared to the pain I'm feeling physically.
He starts kicking me all over and right now I don't know what to protect my face or my already burning stomach. But I decide on covering my face with my hands. I don't know where he gets this much anger to beat me this much just because I was dancing with that guy I don't even know.
Maybe If I plead him he'll stop.
Me: I'm sorry, please forgive me , I'll never behave like that ever again, forgive me, I love you, please you're hurting me.
I hope someone finds me before I die, Bontle where are you? Mom please forgive me, Lerato please forgive me too and Dad please welcome me with warm arms.
It's like my pleas are falling on deaf ears , he keeps kicking me all over the last thing I remember is is a punch on my left eye before I pass out.
