CHAPTER 15
TSHEPISO BOOYSENI looked at this girl as she uttered nonsense. I looked at Thato and he had the same look I had, meaning we can see this through.
Thato: Call her.
Becca: What? and what would I say?
Me: Anything.... just call her so we can hear if she's good.
Becca: What if that boyfriend of his answers the phone?
Thato: And you'll ask him to talk to her.
Becca: Yhoo I'm scared of him. He threatened to kill her if she makes any move so just imagine what....
Thato: Becca, call.
Me: You know you're safe with us.
Becca: I thought so....I thought Zinhle was safe as well but look now.
I frowned... how does she know we were trying to protect Zinhle? something is off with this girl.
Me: Becca, call!
Becca: Fine! fine!
Thato checked if it was zinhle's number before calling and it went ringing for a while. As expected that mf answered the call.
Sandile: Becca? what do you want?
Becca: I wanna ask Zinhle something Sandz.... can you please give her the phone?
Wait they know each other? okay I get that they met when that bastard went to take Zinhle but becca calling him "Sandz"? I looked at Thato and found him frowning looking at me.
Sandile: Well, I'm not sure if she will be able to talk.... I gave her the hardest punishment... she won't even be able to move.
Becca: I... I wanna ask her something please...
Sandile: Okay cool.
And he agreed? just like that? no something is fishy here. We heard his voice from the other side of the phone.
Sandile: Heii wena sfebe! (bitch) vuka! vuka! Becca wanna talk to you! Bec talk to her, I'm heading out.
Becca: Okay.
She seemed to be so not cool.
Becca: Zinhle?
Zee: He... hello?
She sounded so tired, her voice was very husky. I looked at Thato he was already working on his phone, I knew what he was doing.... letting gents to track Zee's number.
Becca: Uhm....
Me: *whispers* Ask her if Sandile is around her?
Becca: Is your man with you?
Zinhle: What do... what do you want Becca?
Becca: Is Sandile around you Zinhle?
Zinhle: No.
I snatched her phone from her phone.
Me: Zee! Zinhle are you okay?
Zinhle: Tshepi.... Tshepiso?
Me: What's going on? you good?
Zinhle: I'll survive.... I was bound to be with him.
Her voice was breaking slowly fading into a whisper.
Me: I'm coming for you okay?
Zinhle: No don't.... I'll be okay.
Me: What did he do?
Zinhle: *breaking down* He... he...
Her cries cut deep in my heart.... how could this happen? I glanced at Thato, he clenched his jaws swallowing hard. I know he hates woman abuse. He blinked away his tears and continued to work on his phone.
Me: We're coming for you Zee, hang in there.
Zinhle: *cries* No, please don't.... he's dangerous.... he's going to kill me.
Thato: He's what?
She cried even more. No I can't take this anymore. I wiped a tear that rolled down my cheek.
Zinhle: I... I know you're happy Thato...
Thato: What?
Me: Why would he be happy about this Zee?
Zinhle: Because he's.... he's the one who set me up.
Thato: What!?
Zinhle: But I don't blame you, I was too much on you.... you can now focus on your Becca.
She dropped the call. The hell?
Me: Thato?
Thato: I don't know what she's talking about Tsheps!
We both looked at the terrified Becca. I swear she could pee on herself.
Thato: Becca, what's going on here?
