Chapter 4

Bongani Ndlela

Growing up is a normal thing
But not to every child
Because some of us are here for avenging
I came to Xola Dlomo home 2 years ago claiming I'm his wife lost son
Zodwa as moegoe she is she accepted me as her son
Zodwa and her husband killed my parents in a cruel way
I'm here to kill every thing that is related to them may it be a dog or a cat it will die
I wanted to get close with Mbali she's easily manipulated and a loose panty
But I'm drawing myself to Manzini
And in a wrong way
I feel there is more into this because this poor girl I think they abuse her there by the way she jumps and be startled when they are around her
Right now me and her we are in front of Xola's gate
Manzini:Ngiyabonga for today
I kissed her hands
Bongani:I will do it any day given chance, I will do it every single day
She blushed
Yena umuhle shame kakhulu
But I don't want to be involved with her, she will get hurt in the end
It looks like she's smitten with me
And I don't want to use her
But she's the only fish that took a bait in my trap
I hope she forgives me
Manzini:I should get going
I opened a door for her
And we went inside
Before we even knocked Zodwa opened a door for us
This people in this house they behave like witches
Zodwa:Uphuma kuphi?
Bongani:She was with me
Zodwa:Angi'Khulumi nawe Bongani
Bongani:Why does this poor girl have curfew?while your child can galavante the whole streets
Zodwa:I'm not gonna listen to you change the rules of my house
Bongani:Go to hell with your rules Zodwa!!
She clasped her hands
Zodwa:I'm your mother give me a respect that I need
Bongani:You will never be...
Then I stopped
I nearly spitted out the truth
I just turned and left
I find Mbuso my best friend in my apartment
Busy smoking hookpipe
Bongani:Pass me pipe
Mbuso:Skhipan?
Bongani:I nearly told Zodwa is not my mother
He widened his eyes
Mbuso:Wenzeni?
Bongani:Nearly dude hawuu
Mbuso:Why would you do that in the first place?
Bongani:They treat Manzini bad mfethu, like is she not a human being?
Mbuso:Manzini again?
I looked at him with what's wrong with you look
Bongani:What is that supposed to mean?
Mbuso:You are falling hard for this girl Bongani
I chuckled because he speaks nonsense
Bongani:Ubhema hubbly too much wena
Mbuso:Tell me where have you been now?
Bongani:I took Manzini out for ice cream she...
Mbuso:There it is,there it is,you took her out
Bongani:Dude what's wrong with you?come on you didn't even let me finish up what I was trying to say
Mbuso:Come say it now!!
Bongani:The poor girl was late for her exam and her uniform was wet,I was trying to cheer her up that's all, she needed a break
Mbuso:You are so inlove dude with our sweet Manzini
Bongani:Haai ukhuluma kak net
Mbuso:Listen brosky forget all the fantasy you have with that girl and focus on your revenge
I looked at him because I don't have any more words for him
