Chapter:6

Bongani

Manzini avoiding me, it hurts me.
I know I was in intention from staying away from her and avoid her
But to feel what I wanted her to feel,I know it hurts now
Right now I'm standing in front of the gate of school
Just want to see her
There she is coming with her uniform
Their uniform is very ugly because who still wears green pants/skirts with white shirt
But she looks cute on her uniform
I rushed to her
But she was upping her pace
Bongani:Hawuu Manzini ima!
She didn't listen to me
The only way is to run to her
I caught up with her
I got hold of her hand
Bongani:Manzini?
Manzini:Please leave me alone Bongani I'm begging you
She had tears in her eyes
Rain is starting to drizzle
Manzini:Just stay away from me Bongani
She was crying so bad
The rain was pouring so hard
Bongani:Manzini let's go to my car you will get sick
Manzini:No!!
Bongani:Ngiyacela ntombiehle
She looked me so deep in my eyes with full of tears
Manzini:I can't...
Just like that she left in the rain
I drove to Zodwa's house
I find Zodwa and her rebellious daughter
I didn't even knock
Zodwa:Hawuu why ukwatile ka nje?
Bongani:Bathakadi ndine what did you do to Manzini?I know for sure you did something to her
Zodwa:Hawuu thina?
Manzini got in
Zodwa:Wee Manzini sisi what did we do to you the poor thing?
Manzini:Lutho aunty
Zodwa:See?
Bongani:Manzini I know you don't have to lie
Manzini:Aunty I'm going to finish washing
She left there
Manzini why are you doing this
But I know you are pretending to this people
I wont give up easily on you
Today I brought her something she loves
Since its Saturday I know she is busy cleaning or cooking
I find her doing spring cleaning
I got behind her
I closed her eyes with my hands
And I whispered to her
Bongani:Guess who is it?
She pushed my hands roughly from her eyes
Manzini:Uyahlanya Bongani?
Bongani:I was just trying to surprise you geez
Manzini:Are you deaf?I told you to stay away from me, just leave me alone
Bongani:I come with peace and I even brought you your favorite ice cream vanilla
Manzini:I don't want ice cream
Bongani:But you love it Manzini
Manzini:Don't you get it, you will get me into trouble
Bongani:With whom?
Manzini:It doesn't matter just stay away from me because I also don't want to be seen with you
Wow that hurts
I just took my embarrassed self I left
