CHAPTER 9
*INSERT 9*BASETSANA.
I arrive home at 6'O clock in the evening, It's clean there's no sign that shows there was a wedding here. My aunt left and other family members, It's just me and my mom left now. I'm not even the mood to sit with her, cause I know it won't end well. So it's best to just chill in my room till I sleep.
I shower, wear my pj's then I start with preparing dinner, something simple Pap and minced meat mixed with potatoes. By 8O' clock I'm done cooking and I dish up, putting chilli sauce on my food, my mom is not a fan. I give my mom her food and a cold glass of pineapple juice, telling her that I'll be eating in my room.
I take my food and a glass of juice to my room. Right when I start to eat my phone rings and I answer without looking at the caller ID.
Me: Hello.
.....Ntokazi.
Haibo ke mang jwale?( Who is it).
Me: And you are?
....Sbani.
Me: Sorry I don't know anyone named Sebani...
Sbani: Actually it's Sbani.
Me: You can't blame me, Zulu is not my mother's tongue.
Sbani: I understand Ntokazi, I'm your boss's friend we met each other at your work today.
Me: Ohh hey.
Sbani: sawubona, Unjani? (Hello, how are you?).
Me: I'm good and you?
Sbani: I'm okay, that I'm talking to you now.
Me: Mhh I see, so how can I help you?
Sbani: Yazi there's this restaurant they just opened, I wanted to taste their food but I figured why don't I just invite you to join me.
Me: Ohh is that so?
Sbani: Yes, what do you say?, It's okay if you can't.
Me: Are you asking me on a date?
Sbani: If that's how you view it then a date it is.
Me: Uhm okay when?
Sbani: Whenever you're free Ntokazi.
Me: Sunday?
Sbani: Perfect I'll send you the details.
Me: Okay.
Sbani: And please send me your location so that I can be able to fetch you, Good night Ntokazi ka Sbani.
I smile dropping the call, sending him my location and eat my now cold food. I don't even have the energy to go warm them, I'm avoiding my mom at all costs right now.
The phone call just made my night, just hope he's not like Zakhele. I laugh, hold on he didn't say he wants me. It's just a date.
It's saturday today my shift is at 6'O clock till tomorrow early, I wake up, do my bed, head to shower, lotion and wear my tracksuits since I'm not going anywhere.
The whole day I'm busy just washing my dirty clothes, The house is still clean, they cleaned it after the wedding so I only did some touch ups.
I decide not to cook and buy a Kota. My mom is not home, She left saying she's going to get pampered at Spar with her daughter's lobola money.
Here I am sitting on my bed eating my bunny chow, I just love how they take time preparing it.
I finish eating and my mom arrives. Now she's busy shouting my name urghhh.
.....Basetsana come here.
I rush to the kitchen, It looks like she just robbed the mall. She gives me 2 paper bags and says nothing, I also say nothing and head to my room putting them on top of the chest of drawers. I know she bought me clothes.
