CHAPTER 10
*INSERT 10*ZAKHELE.
We just got back from Durban, even though I wish we were to stay a little longer that side, we can't a lot of work is waiting for me even Lerato has to go to work tomorrow. She's here sulking because she wanted me to buy her a Louis V side bag that costs half my salary a month. She can sulk all she wants, I'm not going to buy her that bag next thing she'll be running to her mom or my parents to tell them I'm starving her.
Zakhele: Listen here, keep sulking like that I'm not going to buy you that expensive bag, Unless you want to starve for the rest of the month. I just paid lobola for you, Why don't you go fetch your lobola money from your mother and buy that bag with.
Lerato: You're stingy Zakhele, how do you expect me to fetch that money from my mother, the person that raised me? she deserves it.
I park outside my house getting out of the car without answering her and I take the bags inside. She can go to hell I don't care. I don't want stress.
BASETSANA.
I just finished wearing my navy blue dress, black sandals and tied my weave. I don't know if what I'm wearing is suitable for the restaurant that we're going to or not.
Sbani sent me a message early in the morning that he'll fetch me around 1'O clock and I look at the time on my phone, It's exactly after 1'O clock. I'm nervous as hell, what if he has changed his mind. Pheww my palms are even sweating.
Right then my phone rings and It's him, I take a few breaths and then I answer.
Me: Hello.
Sbani: Ntokazi, nqela uze ngaphandle. (please come outside).
Me: Okay.
I hang up and take my side bag putting my phone and money inside incase the date goes wrong, you'll never know with guys, either they can ditch you there or make you pay for the food and nako eo ose o jele. (that time you have eaten)
I tell my mom that I'll be back, I go outside and I don't see any car. After a good scanning I finally see it. His text from morning said he'll be parked two houses away in respect of my parents. I march to the car and he opens the door from the inside and It's a red GTI, after getting inside and closing the door he drives off.
Sbani: Unjani? (How re you?)
Me: I'm okay and you?
Sbani: I'm okay Ntokazi mase ngi'nawe. ( Now that I'm with you)
I smile.
Sbani: I hope I didn't disturb you.
Me: It's my day off today, so don't worry.
Sbani: Okay, you look great by the way.
Great? wow just great?
We arrive at the restaurant and we're led to an empty table. We sit down and order, the restaurant is simple and not fancy.
We eat while he's asking me about my life. When we're done we order drinks and just continue with our conversation. Right then I look at my left side table near the window and I've never seen such.
This guy is handsome as hell, he's a dark beauty, looks like the dangerous types, the ones your parents would warn you from. As if he feels that I am looking at him, he looks my way and we lock eyes. Until I'm disturbed by Sbani snapping his fingers right in front of my eyes. I look at him.
Sbani: Are you okay?
Me: Yes I am.
I look at the left table again and no one is there, It seems like the was never a person sitting there.
Did I just see a ghost...
