CHAPTER 8

*INSERT 8*



BASETSANA.



Me: What are you talking about mom?



Mom: Your brother in law and your sister told me you were throwing yourself at him.



Of course he said that, I'm not even surprised. I know he hurt me but this is worse, I hate him nxaa. I stand up and take my bag then I heard to work.



Inside the taxi I'm thinking what did I ever do to him to hurt me so much. This is the last nail to the coffin, I'm going to leave then alone, because now it's like I am after their relationship and he made me sound like a bitter ex that doesn't want to accept and understand a break-up.



I arrive at work bored as hell and It's still early since I left before finishing my breakfast. since the wedding was during the week it's friday today and it's going to be packed. Remember I work at Pub and Grill. So I need to work ore hours for the tips, besides I don't want to go home early that place is depressing and I know by then people and family would have left.



I start doing what I am paid for, working at the bar is tiring but It's also fun sometimes especially for the tips. my colleague arrives and we help each other at the bar, she's busy stealing glances at me. I know she wants to ask how is it Zakhele married my sister while I was the one dating him. She asked me on whatsapp while I was still at the designer shop but I never texted her back.



Me: Ask me.



Dali: What are you talking about?



She's playing with me now.



Me: I know you want to ask about my relationship with Zakhele.



Dali: Okay, but how and why?



Me: I also don't know, Only I know that we're not together anymore.



I learnt not to tell people my business especially Dali, Otherwise people will be talking about my business before the sun sets. That's how she is she can't keep her mouth shut. In the afternoon I am sitting on one of the benches and eating lunch. It's not that busy anymore.



My boss arrives with some guy, I can't even see his face since they are facing at another direction. Right after 5 Minutes we're called to the boss's office, What have we done now, the last time we were called to the boss's office, Sipho who used to work here was stealing his money and he was fired. I hope we don't have someone who is stealing again. I get up and throw the bones and a former pack in the bin since I'm done eating and I head to the boss's office.



I get in and sit on the sofa since everyone is sitting down. And it's a stuff meeting. I look around and I lock eyes with this guy, we stare at each other for a good 5 seconds. We break the eye contact and the boss speaks.



Boss: Sorry guys to disturb you from your lunch this is my good friend Sbani, I just wanted to thank you for doing a good job and people are happy with your service.



We clap hands and he continues speaking.



Boss: Well you know it's friday today and it is month end, It's going to be packed meaning It will be busy. So continue with the great job guys.



We stand up and I look at the guy one last time before heading out.
