CHAPTER 12
*INSERT 12*NYAKALLO.
I'm meeting my PI at this restaurant that is inside a hotel..
She definitely didn't waste anytime to find the find the truth.
If only finding my mom was that easy.
I don't want to lie I'm afraid of the news she has for me.
I arrive at the reception and tell him that I'm meeting someone who's inside, he goes through his list and nods leading me inside.
I spot her and walk to where she's sitting.
I pull a chair opposite her.
Me: Hey.
PI: Hello how are you?
Me: For now I'm okay, I think my mood will depend on the news you brought me.
PI: With that lets get to it but before we start I would like to say have heart, some things are not meant to be fought for.
I nod getting more worried.
I just hope I'm able to handle the truth.
Me: We can start.
PI: Okay your husband and Lesedi were dating before you two got together.
Me: What?
PI: They were a couple and you came after, Lesedi left going to pursue her career as a model and now she's back.
Me: Wow so I was some kind of rebound, is that all?
PI: No I got to find out she was fired because she slept with her boss's husband and she's broke.
Why would Bokang do me this dirty?
A tear drops and I wipe it.
They both betrayed me, especially that guy I call my husband.
It was with the way they both said different things to me when I ask if they know each other.
The eye contacts they had in front of me, nxaa!!
Me: Yhoo.
That's all I'm able to say at the moment.
And to sleeping with her boss's husband? Wow.
The nerve to say they transferred her and I got to know she's broke as hell.
Seems like she's aiming to secure the bag.
And that fool I call my husband is blind to see what is happening.
I did say they should not make my house their love nest.
Me: Thank you for this.
PI: Sure no problem I’m just doing what you pay me for, I'm a woman and I know a lot of people who have went through the same thing you're going through. The other woman living in your house and you're unaware of it, you probably don't know what they are doing in your absence or when you're sleeping at night. And the fool is you.
That cuts deep.
PI: In this case you're the other woman to them, you're a side chick besides the fact that you're married it seems like you were just keeping your husband for her till she comes back and now that she's here you're going to be put even worse thrown to the corner.
I shake my head as a tear escapes my eye.
Me: Ma’Nhlapo please stop.
PI: The truth hurts I know and there's no way you can ignore it, You know what they will do?
Me: Please.
I plead with her I want her to stop, I thought it would'nt hurt but it hurts.
PI: He'll take her as a second wife and you won't even cry cheating cause he will claim she's his wife too just like you are his wife, I say leave before that happens if you don’t It would be hard to get half of everything because the second wife will already be in the picture.
I wipe my tear.
Me: Do you have to make it worse.
She laughs.
PI: I'm a woman and I know how this things happen, as a woman you have to always be 3 if not 2 steps ahead. Now you have a good job, don't do anything stupid that will make you loose everything. Leave with your dignity still intact and show them you have too much self respect to entertain their shenanigans okay?
I chuckle.
Me: Okay I won't and yeah I hear you, don't won't get the satisfication of seeing me as a fool.
PI: From here just go to a mall buy jeans, short dresses and heels. You look too beautiful to wearing that shit you always wear and don't tell me about your in-laws this is your body and it's definitely not the 60’s. Don't forget to always put make-up on.
We laugh.
